What a riot! I mapped out my classes and that was all I worried about! I felt so little and out of it. The upperclassmen had it all together. They were always so busy with band prac- tice, student council, service clubs, Wilson activities or sports. It seemed like a com- plicated dream to me. I had waited so long to get here and be a true Viking and now I was scared and didn’t really know what to do. The teachers were nice and under- standing, but they showed us real quick that high school was different. We better expect to work. I tried my first house meeting, track meet and Junior Achieve- ment. The upperclassmen were my “mo- dels” and by watching them I learned what SV was all about. Giving my best all around became a goal for me. By the end of the year I was involved, on my way to being an upperclassman, officially and un- officially. No longer a freshman! Yea!! I can pick on people! My life was established and secure and becoming very complicated as a sophomore. The school work was always there, but now there was so much more — equally important. I was now receiving re- sponsibilities. My range of friends grew — people actu- ally asked me for input on the homecom- ing float and the sophomore’s first dance. Our debate and drama teams took state. We hosted Southern Association of Stu- dent Councils ... “The Greatest Show on Earth” ... It was excellent!! I was so proud of the ... of my school. It was so wild to tell people that I was a sophomore at SV — they would just stand there and tell me all the great stuff I already knew, of course! --------- I 4 theme Sportsarama sparks the football season as rivals Spring Valley and Kichland Northeast meet for a summer clash. Cheerleader co-captain Tracy James and captain Pam Martin prepared Har- ry Parone stadium with balloons and bulletins. Sportsarama was held at Har- ry Parone stadium in 1984 for the first time. Singing the alma mater at the Irmo pep rally, senior Monica Bookard joins in the scene of loyal pride. The senior class has always had the privilege of singing the alma mater on the gym floor, the final event of a pep rally. Activities, academics and awards combine to make Spring Valley a recognized educational institution. Students can find almost any type of extra-curricular activity which may interest them, and the Excellence in Education award presented in 1983 by the Presi- dent’s commision is an illustration of Spring Valley’s stress on academics. SPRING VALIEV HIGH SCHOOL Signing up for clubs is important in getting involved in student activities. Student body vice-president Rebecca Humphries supplies information about var- ious clubs during club sign-up week to an array of interested students. Band members add music to pep rallies which unites the classes under a common symbol of spirit. Beth Shackelford, SENIOR, contributes her efforts to the 1983 state champion Viking band. theme 5 Hats Off To Excellence “Your junior year is the best year of all” was all that I’d heard for two years — now I could decide for myself. I finally got to sit on the floor at pep rallies — and be able to see the motorcycles come in, not kick anybody doing the hoochie-koo, and no more straining to hear the cheerleaders. It was great!! I got to order my class ring — I was so excited trying to decide what kind, and then standing in line in the gym — finally it was mine!! Now I could prove and show off my school. Trying to get peo- ple to turn it — without touching the stone, always to the right — and keeping count ... I had to start over so many times! I didn’t think anything could top that feeling. After six years of losing and taking sec- ond place, the SV Viking Band took State. My gosh! They were so awesome in their performance. When the drum majors sa- luted and flashes went off!! (I love this school — the people.) The junior-senior came and the “Stairway to Heaven” was complete. I’m almost a senior! — Sweet sixteen — but not for long! I just won’t think about it!! Oh, I almost forgot . . . The National Award for Excellence. I’ve never seen such satisfaction and pride as our faculty and community had for that award. It didn’t seem like that big of a deal to me — until that “official” assembly. The band played the Star Spangled Ban- ner and tears came . . . The President of my country was commending my world. For the first time I really saw that this school was different. The teachers who voluntarily gave of their time to plan ac- tivities, coach teams, teach me how to con- nect wires, edit my writing or tutor me in algebra. The community members who supported SV always — they never missed a football game or a band competition, they bought cookie pies and wrapping pa- per from me, they worked at school or just took the time to ask about SV. The stu- dents — my peers and my friends. We shared losing RN games, close friends moving and all school activities — togeth- er. It was all making sense now. The peo- ple made Spring Valley great. Graduation came and all the seniors said, “A junior marshal today ... a graduate tomorrow!!” — Oh, please, I have a whole year left . . . Tomorrow came . .. 6 theme I aking up to twenty minutes to get out of the back parking lot, senior Chris Woody and driver Jeff Koss are among the eager students waiting to get home.

Intensified Biology class. Salute To You! I don’t feel any older, but the circum- stances, the school told me something was very different. I walked down the halls hardly knowing anyone. My seniors, my models were gone . . . and I knew a few juniors, but I never got to know many of the upcoming sophomores. My class was now the model. “You set how the rest of the school acts ...” Have mercy! — Don’t put that on me! I’ll cheer at the pep rally — no problem! I did — but it wasn’t the same! This was it — my last year. I felt so many things. Confusion!!! I love this school and don’t want to leave . . really, but — I’m tired of high school. I never thought I’d say think that, but I was ready to move on ... I mocked the freshmen on the outside — but inside I envied them They had four of “the best years of their lives’’ ahead — if only I could tell them, but no, they have to see for themselves. One day they’ll understand.’’ And now will the seniors please come down for the alma mater’’ — that was me!! It was so strange, and yet it was right. I was ready to graduate. Tears still came to my eyes — even sooner harder — at the Northeast games, pride assemblies, and times when I was just with my friends — because this was “the last time.’’ Sure I could come back — but it will never be the same. My heart ached, my mind screamed because I didn’t know what to feel — anxiety for what’s ahead or longing for what’s past. All the decisions — choosing a college, forcing myself to do economics homework to pass, trying not to get senioritis. Sud- denly it was my turn to walk that stage and I went for it. At graduation I had thought SV’s influ- ence had ended forever — but as usual I was wrong. I carried Spring Valley with me the rest of my life. Spring Valley, I tip my hat to you!! — the institution, no, the people who gave me a foundation and real- ly prepared me for the “real world.’’ Gaye Coleman What A Feeling echoes through the chorus room under the direction of chorus director Marianne Holland.

Our class, like many other classes, can be compared to one of the trees planted this year by the beautification committee. We all started out from roots, coming together as a single group — freshmen. But we were different. Our bark had a few cracks in it, but every tree does. Our spirit and pride brought out the green — the life. Four years ago, at the first varsity football game of the year, we lost to Lexington High School by four points. We were disappointed. Ev- eryone wants to be a winner. But, at the end of the game, everyone joined hands and sang the alma mater, showing the unity and strength that only a winner possesses. Our classes’ strong lungs and loyalty prevailed at pep rallies, during class competition, and at Sportsarama. As we progressed and grew, we branched out into separate limbs, ac- cording to our interests. Then each of us, as we worked with the others in our area, developed our trees’ small, pale buds into healthy, golden leaves, and formed some of the most majestic en- sembles in the state — in band, foren- sics and theatre. Even in the areas where we were not as strong, and others could climb high- er, we still had pride and never stopped displaying our colors . . . Never stopped running, jumping, swinging, singing, throwing, cheering, creating, comput- ing, writing, reaching . . . Eventually, after learning our way around the school, being the last class to have open pods — or multi-subject periods, after wearing garbage bags, yelling duck calls, coloring our hair, piercing our ears, ripping our shirts, watching three classes leave and enter, and after listening to — or trying not to listed to — almost two thousand P.A. announcements, we matured. Our branches began to flower. As we raised our branches proudly, the richness of our years of learning allowed the blos- soms to ripen into fruit. And now the time has come to break away from our tree that we all know so well — the time to start over, to being freshmen again, to moving away, and do what we will for the rest of our lives. What we must remember is that when we let go, we cannot let insects and other outside forces attack us, but flourish and grow and remember the heritage that we Vikings claim. Re- member the teacher that made you walk “gorilla war fare” style to the li- brary, the teacher that made you dis- sect an owl pellet, the teacher who told you to contemplate your naval — and the teacher that explained what con- templating your naval means. Remember all the special relation- ships you have had with the people who you thought were put on this planet for the sole purpose of stuffing facts into your brain. The teachers and staff of Spring Valley were the ones who nur- tured us, and helped us to grow. We must remember that reaching this height — receiving our diplomas, shifting our tassels and walking down those stairs — does not mean we are descending. We are taking a step ahead, because all the seeds of learning we have gotten from Spring Valley are go- ing to stay with us, for the rest of our lives, so that wherever we go, we will always be growing up towards the sun, never letting anyone forget that the Spring Valley class of 1984 will always and forever be number one. Stephanie Nankin Getting gowns on straight is a task for graduates Jennifer Berry, Sallie Freeman and Pamela Cole- man. Student Activities director Sharon Buddin says, “Anticipation and excitement fill the colise- um as everyone prepares for the ceremony.” Anticipating graduation ceremonies, graduate Brenca Outen files into place at the Carolina Coli- seum for the hour-long procession. student life 13 School Never Ends_____________________________ Summer didn’t mean school stopped. For band members summer meant marching for days in the hot sun in early June to rehearse for a National Band Association exhibition in Ten- nessee. Regular practice began the last week of July, and in August they went to band camp. For fall sports athletes and cheer- leaders, summer meant working out and extra practices. The cross country teams came to school to run. The girls’ team ran together weekly until August. “The girls had practice every Mon- day until August. Then we had it for one hour every weekday. I enjoy run- ning because it gives me time to think and sort out the day’s activities while also enhancing my physical fit- ness,” sophomore Dyanna Phillips said. Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday the football players lifted weights and ran. “I got stronger and I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in,” junior Tra- cy Adkins said. “I could run three miles without any trouble.” For students working on the Vi- king Handbook, summer meant working for weeks to put the book together. “Although it was a lot of hours at first, the final product made it all worthwhile. We had a great deal of fun, and we accomplished a lot at the same time,” junior Brian Margarle, who contributed to the handbook, said. For summer school students, sum- mer meant hours of intensified study. Dave Oberly taught Algebra II in summer school and said students’ at- titudes are different. “Although we had fewer hours in class, we covered more material than the Algebra II class did in the regular school year. For Viking Shield staff members, summer meant shaping up the jour- nalism room, selling ads and rede- signing the paper. The dedication of the students during the summer directly affects the school. “Because of the dedication of those who prepare for the upcoming school year over the summer, we are able to begin the year with confidence and a purpose,” Sharon Buddin, student activities director, said. Leigh Toner photos by Ginger Pinson Lightning only strikes once — but once was enough for Jimmy’s Mart, a favorite lunch spot for students, which burned down this summer. It now stands 200 feet from its original location. Summer hours spent working on the student handbook involved time and effort by senior Con- nie Jones. Buddin told me it would take three days. It took three months,” says Jones. Excited about their new uniforms, juniors Melissa Cooper and Stephanie Bishop try them on for size in anticipation of Sportsarama. Keeping the parents informed, sophomore Leigh Ann Lomas spends several of her summer morn- ings folding, labeling, and stapling Parent Up- dates to be sent out in the mail. “May 1 help you?” juniors Kellie Sharpe and Daphne Litchford wait on seniors Amy Sekulich and Valerie Clark during orientation. student life 15 S.V. Gold We all position ourselves in the middle of the football field like cut out paper dolls. All 12 of us. The other three cheerleading squads stand here, too, framed around the center of the field. Our squad is linked togehter, holding hands, nervous with anticipation. The Sportsarama game is over; the spirit award is about to be an- nounced. Finally. We have worked so hard for this. The last two months dedi- cated to this moment — running around Columbia pleading with businesses to advertise Sportsar- ama on their marquees, selling endless Sportsarama tickets, prac- ticing and repracticing cheers and chants for the teas. The spirit ral- ly, the fashion show, and the scrapbook all have a purpose now. For in a few moments Mr. Good- naugh will announce the winner, the most spirited school here. I look back at the clump of Spring Valley fans in the stadium. They deserve the spirit award. And they know it. Not with conceit — but with pride. I look down at my feet and push the announcer’s voice to the back of my mind. Our squad had be- come so close in the last two months. Now we are a family. I look to my left at Hallie Newell. We’d hardly known each other when practice began; now she is one of my best friends. My right hand connects me to Stephanie Bishop. All summer people had mistaken us for sisters. Now, in a way, we are; we all are. What?! Did he say Spring Val- ley??? The Viking section comes alive!! Before I realize what is hap- pening, someone is putting a gold medal around my neck. Stephanie Bishop is hugging me. And she’s crying. We’ve done it. We’ve won. All those hours of practice and work and sweat have paid off. I look over Stephanie’s shoulder to the rest of the cheerleaders. They’re all clinging to their medals, tears in their eyes. This is our proof — to the rest of the world that we have the most spirit! But we al- ready knew. Because we’re Spring Valley Vikings. Dina Pitts Excited over winning the spirit award.

Touch of Class was the theme decid- ed upon by Student Council and the main song was Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl. “We tried to make everything really classy looking,” Denton said. Forgetting to bring the crown and last minute re-numbering of sashes were the two big problems faced, ac- cording to Denton. “We had to change the order of the contestants, and we forgot to get the numbers on them to match the orders, so the girls didn’t wear them. We had some last minute panic,” Denton said. The most memorable thing from the pageant was sitting and working with Vicki Harrell, Miss South Carolina, ac- cording to Crowley. “I had to teach the girls how to be escorted, and I demonstrated with Vicki,” Crowley said. Senior Jim Chesnutt, stage manager, took care of the technical aspects of the pageant. “I had to get everything together — sound, lights, equipment. During the performance, I had to make sure that everyone was where they were sup- posed to be,” Chesnutt said. Crowley said he agrees that keeping up the pageant was a good learning ex- perience. “It was different this year. We didn’t have any disasters. There was more stu- dent participation. It was more like the whole school put it on,” Crowley said. Cassie Yang Completing his winning talent, senior, Mr. Spring Valley. Matt Younginer did re-creations of com- mercials. 18 Mr. Miss S.V.

Mr. Miss S.V. 19 Hardwork Four years ago a trend was set to make The Mr. Spring Valley pageant different, according to Leone Rochelle, 1982 sponsor. “We wanted to make it more of a pro- duction, like The Miss Spring Valley Pageant. Before the ’82 pageant guys just did a talent and it was over with. We wanted to get more people involved and have a little variety,” Rochelle said. The take-off on the beauty pageant was successful, according to Rochelle. “The night we had the pageant 300- 400 people showed up. It was standing room only and a big hit,” Rochelle said. This year, Daphne Litchford, junior, was in charge of publicity. “Work began in December getting businesses to donate gifts for door prizes and patrons to fund the pageant. Businesses were asked to donate gifts of $10 or less,” Litchford said. Lily DeGracia, junior, was in charge of choreogrphy for the opening number, according to Litchford. “She did a great job getting the guys to dance. Sometimes that’s hard,” Litchford said. Matt Younginer was participating in his third Mr. Spring Valley, first as a contestant. In 1983 84 he was the Master of Ceremonies. “Things were more intense during practice and rehearsals this year. A lot of guys wanted to win this year,” Youn- giner said. Twenty-eight people worked to make The Mr. Spring Valley pageant success- ful including class sponsors, Pam McGill and Peggy Clement. “The kids did a great job to make this work. They put in a lot of hard work that shouldn’t go unnoticed.” John Hartwell Senior Jabo Covert is amazed that his magic trick worked and won him his title, Mr. Senior.

When my sister was crowned, I was very happy for her, and at the time I never thought of being Miss Spring Valley,” East- man said. A year later Eastman received a notice saying that she had been selected to represent the SEARCH club in the Miss Spring Valley pageant. “I didn’t think I would be in the pageant because I wasn’t at the meeting. I was really surprised. My sister encouraged me and told me that I better do it,” Eastman said. “I definitely didn’t think I would win. I thought I had a chance, but I didn’t think I would be chosen because my sister, Ver- nell, was Miss Spring Valley last year. I also had a lot of good com- petition,” Eastman said. Eastman says that in the pag- eant she was just herself. ‘‘Don’t get me wrong, I was ner- vous, but the stage is like second nature to me,” Eastman said. Eastman performed a jazz dance for her talent. “I was crowned Miss Black Teen Columbia last June and I just used the same dance I did then. All I really did was practice it over and over everyday,” East- man said. Eastman has taken jazz for three years and says she loves to dance. This was Eastman’s first year competing in the Miss Spring Val- ley pageant, but she has competed in six other pageants. As Miss Black Teen Columbia Eastman has done television ap- pearances, been in the Christmas parade, judged pageants and will try out for television commercials this summer. “Miss Spring Valley isn’t as rec- ognized as Miss Black Teem Co- lumbia, but I think it is very pres- tigious. I love Spring Valley, and it’s an honor to represent Spring Valley. Being Miss Spring Valley has been rewarding. It’s some- thing I can tell my kids about,” Eastman said.

Pride Is . . . “Pride is” was the theme for Pride Week February 11-15. “Making Pride Week different this year was my biggest worry. Every year students complain that Pride Week is like any other week. We tried to come up with better activities this year. Pride Week is about getting students motivat- ed again in the middle of the year,” junior Anthony Livoti, Pride Week chairman, said. “Pride is Spring Valley” day was February 11. The dress was green and gold. A chugging and eating contest was sponsored at lunch in the gym. “Pride is Spirit” day was February 12. Students were asked to wear sweats. Class participation determined the win- ner of the Viking Wrars, relay races and games which was at lunch in the gym. A Mr. Cool contest was sponsored at lunch in the gym. February 13 was “Pride is Apprecia- tion” day. A drop-in for parent volun- teers and teachers was at lunch in the student activities office. A letterman drop-in was at lunch in the art room. “Pride is Love” day was on Valen- tine’s Day, February 14. Student Coun- cil gave out heart stickers, and Z club sold carnations. A morning assembly began “Pride is Class” day February 15. Dan Clark, a national speaker, spoke during the as- sembly. Order of Thor members were inducted at the assembly. Students were to dress up. Clark speaks on motivation 314 days of the year and in Mexico and Canada, according to Jimmy Larsen, student body president. Clark has recovered from numerous injuries, including a paralyzing injury he recovered from by self-motivation. Doctors called it a medical miracle. Student council payed $500 plus his travel expenses from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Columbia. Order of Thor, chartered in 1982, in- ducts one percent of the student body, three faculty members and three com- munity members every year during Pride Week. “It recognizes those people who work behind the scenes, true Vikings.

Larry Sharpe. When I first talked to Larry about running for powder puff queen, he told me I was crazy. “Me dress up like a girl?” But I did talk him into it and began collecting money for him. After all what’s a twin sister for anyway! We collected over $100 dollars, including the $10 dollars that my dad’s employees paid him to pump gas for an hour in his dress and wig. Larry sponsored me for homecoming and has supported me with everything I’ve ever done. I can still remember the first day powder puff was scheduled and Larry coming in the commons, dress and all! And it rained all day so powder puff was postponed. Larry would have to dress up again and he didn’t even have any clothes to change into. My dad thought it was great. “I’m the only father from Spring Valley to have my son and daughter crowned queen.” (Christy was Homecoming queen last year.) Larry’s friends, especially the foot- ball players, wanted to see him in a dress so they put even more money in the jar. Larry’s biggest competition was Jabo Covert. Every morning Jabo would come up to me and say “How much money does Larry have? Well, I’m al- most caught up with him.” It certainly made for a most interesting Wednesday . . . My brother was queen for a day. Laura Sharpe Part of the special half-time entertainment was the Powder Puff cheerleaders, who were nominat- ed from each house, as they attempted to make a pyramid.

Not Mr. Knight with his slow country accent. My first period class screamed with laughter as Mr. Knight pleaded with students to help satisfy Oberly’s ‘social’ needs. Things were starting to get dirty. Two days earlier, at the beginning of RNE week, the Kiss a Cavalier contest had begun between teachers Knight, Oberly, Thigpen, Connell, Rucker, Newell, and Snyder to raise money for the week’s activities. Jars were set up in the commons and in teacher’s class- rooms for donations. At the end of the week the teacher with the highest amount would have to kiss the Cavalier . . . a pig! The day following Knight’s an- nouncement, Oberly retaliated. After laboring over a three page speech the night before, Oberly got his turn on the announcements. He brought to the at- tention of the student body a frantic note reading, “If Mr. Knight wins, I will refuse to participate, signed ... the Pig” Meanwhile, Thigpen remained calm as he campaigned for everyone, except himself. Band members unselfishly donated their lunch money to Connell. Oberly’s jar became flooded with dol- lars and change. Senior Brian Albrecht willingly contributed ten dollars in pennies and the rest of his calculus class walked one by one to Oberly’s jar with money. On Friday, when the pep rally ar- rived, everyone was anxious to see the kiss a Cavalier contest, except the pig. Unaware to the students, Kellie Sharpe and Daphne Litchford were under the bleachers trying to calm the poor frightened pig. Finally, it was announced that Ober- ly had won. Past, present and maybe even future calculus students cheered and crowded in. Mr. Oberly sprayed his breath, cleared his throat, and bent over and kissed the pig square on the forehead. To some it was funny. To some, hilarious. But to the students who had experienced walking into his class to take a difficult calculus test to find a noose over the door and a sarcas- tic smile slapped on Oberly’s face ... it was utter revenge. Dina Pitts The highlight of the RNE pep rally was the kiss- ing of the pig. Mr. Oberly won the contest and was given the honor of kissing the pig. Everything must be perfect for the RNE pep ral- ly.

The Homecoming theme, the Wizard of Oz, was the basis for the week’s activities. A combination of spirit, pride and leadership made Spring Valley’s 1984 Homecoming week one of the most creative the school has seen. A stranger may have been shocked at Spring Valley students and their behavior Monday morn- ing. Loud, exotic shirts with pen- cils and calculators stuck in the pockets, high-water pants, and horned-rimmed glasses flooded the halls. “Brain Day” began the Oz theme and challenged students to dress like “Nerds”. At lunch, sophomores Bob Louder and Na- land Shenoy won the Trivial Pur- suit contest for their class. At lunch Tuesday, “Courage Day,” each class lined their four member team up beside the foot- ball field before a crowded stadi- um. Dressed in sweats, bandannas, and buttons, the student body watched a “unique” obstacle course which ended with each class running to save Dorothy from the Richland Northeast side of the stadium. The freshmen team of Brian Faulds, Roger Goodbold, Richard Goins, and Reggie Hoyle, pulling ahead at the last possible second, took a sur- prising victory that even the Lion would have been proud of.

Girls wore dresses, and guys wore nice shirts and ties — proving that Viking pride. Curiosity tempted students to buy their computer match-up lists, while during lunch “The Newly-couple Game” chal- lenged couples from each class to reveal their knowledge (or lack of it) of their mates. The game ended in a tie between senior couple Shelley Christian and Brooks Wil- liams, and sophomore team Jenny Matthews and Steven West, but all found it fun and unquestiona- bly entertaining. Blue fingernails, leather minis- kirts, wild dark make-up, cut and torn clothes, chains and spiked red hair? “Punk-Day”, of course! Outstanding student participation brought countless rebels to school Thursday. Students filed into the gym to witness their favorite bands during the “Air Band Con- test” at lunch. The band “Huey” with members senior Will Crow- ley, freshman Scott Crowley, ju- nior William Rybar, senior Greg Branham, junior Whit Templeton and senior John Hartwell, took first place over eight other bands with the tune “Bad as Bad”. After playing a hard game offensive captain, Larry Sharpe said “Winning homecoming was more important this year because I was a senior.” Wizard of Oz highlighted homecoming week. The cheerleaders worked very hard to paint a home- coming sign to show our school spirit. 32 homecoming The Junior float was built at Daphne Litchford’s Pom poms and balloons gripped by little viking house.

Homecoming chair- persons, junior Brandy Rucker and sen- ior Mamie Arthur were driven into the gym on two decorated golf carts by sen- iors Jabo Covert and John Hartwell. Brandy and Mamie gave a break down on Homecoming week and its activities. The varsity cheerleaders led the rowdy student body in cheers and the Vikings band played two concert pieces, “Rocky Point Holiday” and “A Simple Song”. The sponsors and officer from each class then took over and led their stu- dents in a cheer. The seniors pulled to- gether and showed a lot of spirit — but after dealing with the frustration of their first Homecoming float, the fresh- men class found an enthusiasm and unity deserving of the spirit stick. That afternoon, the Classes and Clubs revealed their floats for the first time during the Homecoming parade. A combination of colored pomps, chicken- wire, and hard work earned the senior class the first place float award. Art Council’s giant tinman covered in 24 rolls of tinfoil won first place in the club float competition. All twenty-five contestants lined up on the football field, clinging to their escorts and senior Rebecca Humphries was crowned the 1984 Homecoming queen. After the half-time festivities, the football team held on to a 6-8 victo- ry over the Chester Cyclones. Homecoming week ended, but the “Emerald City” continued its tradition of spirit and pride.

Homecoming 35 It’s Me Standing on the 30 yard line, I clutched Jim’s arm and waited for Tim Bagley to announce the homecoming winners. I looked up into the stands. There were so many people, but I wasn’t nervous until I realized that they were all looking at the field where the 24 contestants stood. I couldn’t be- lieve I was actually down here, on the field, as a senior. “Will you stop shaking?’’ Jim said. I couldn’t help it. I remembered Johnny ask- ing me if he could sponsor me for Homecoming. He asked me during church when the lights were out and the preacher was talking. Tim was announcing the Home- coming winners. Second runner- up .. . Linda Gaetan. First run- ner-up . . Tracey James and the 1984 Homecoming Queen is ... me? I just couldn’t picture myself as homecoming queen, but I sure better hurry because Coach Koty was about to crown me. As Christy handed me the roses, 1 hugged her and started crying. It was just such a shock. Coach Koty crowned me and whispered, “You sure have come a long way since ninth grade P.E.” Thanks, Coach Koty. That is something I’ll always remem- ber. I looked up into the stands again and saw my mom crying and even my dad pulling out his han- kerchief. Then Brandy and Ma- mie came over to congratulate me. As they both hugged me, Brandy whispered, “I love you so much Becca.” I hugged her tightly and whispered back, “I love you, too.” John Hartwell, who was driving the car said, “Now didn’t I tell you that you were going to win? Now can I take you out?” Oh, give me a break — now I knew I was going to faint. As we approached the Senior float, all of the Wizard of Oz char- acters — the lion — Diane Spitzer; the scarecrow — Will Crowley; the tin man — Stewart Collins; Glen- da the good witch — Wanda McGuirt; Dorothy — Gaye Cole- man; the wicked witch — Sara Bliss; Mary Galvin and Connie Jones came over and hugged me. Now, three weeks later, people in the halls still say “Congratula- tions.” All I can say is thanks, so much for friends who supported me and for teachers who helped me be all I could be.

We worked on blowing up balloons, decorating ta- bles and making the backdrop,” Dianne Spitzer, senior, said. The theme for the 1984 prom was “Stairway to Heaven.” The Russell House was decorated with stars and two stairways, which were on either side of the room, accord- ing to Park. “We worked really hard on the deco- rations and I think they showed the theme very clearly,” Connie Jones, sen- ior, said. “The Russell House was a good place to have the prom because there are dif- ferent rooms for food, pictures, and the band. However, one thing I didn’t like was it was too long to wait on pictures. There should be more than one photog- rapher,” Park said. “The Russell House beats having the prom in the gymn. The Marriot would be too expenseive and cause too many problems. It’s traditional to have it there so why not keep it there,” Spitzer said. The band selected for the prom was Threshold, a group from Charlotte, North Carolina. About ten students and class sponsor Marian Mack went to Charlotte, N.C. at the beginning of the year to pick the band for the prom. “We really went up there to see Threshold play. We had been told that the band was the 1983 number one prom band. The band was real good and the guys were nice to talk to, so we signed up to get them,” Spitzer said. “The band was great, but they didn’t play enough slow songs,” Rhonda Tre- whella, senior, said. The prom was an overall success, and everyone seemed to enjoy it, according to senior, Kim Frick. “Everyone I saw there seemed to have a really good time. I know I did. I guess the whole evening could be summed up in one word — magical,” Frick said. Erin Thigpen and Christy Cummings 38 Prom Smiles of pleasure light the faces of senior Jean- nie Tuite and date Rich Reinhardt before step- ping onto the ‘‘Stairway to Heaven.” Resting between dances at the Russell House, seniors Dennis Jones and Sallie Freeman were two of the more than 450 students that attended the 1984 Junior-Senior Prom.

Carl Lewis won four gold medals — the 100 meters, the 200 meters, the four 100 meter relay and the long jump. Michael Jackson conducted his so-called Victory Tour to more than a dozen cities. The original ticket policy, which required fans to mail in $120 postal money order for four tickets with no guar- antee that they could receive tickets, was shelved after much criticism. President Reagan and vice-President Bush won re-election with the biggest electoral vote in the nation's history. He won 49 states with 49% of the total vote. Democratic presidental candidate Walter Mon- dale made history when he chose a woman, Geral- dine Ferraro, as his vice presidential running mate. Mondale and Ferraro were nominated on the Democratic ticket at the party convention in San Francisco in July. He announced early in his campaign that to lower the federal deficit in- creased taxes would be necessary. IflTS -HATS it’s casual — O.K. chill out 4— calm down drag — boring bump you — forget you cripes — oh darn throw down — fight cheeze — friend Kregg Barentine, who had spiked hair and usually wore a trenchcoat, said that most people today just don’t do their own thing. “I think that today, people always tend to follow the crowd. They say they’re individuals, but, I mean, how different are you if you just blindly follow the fads?” Barentine said he got a wide range of reac- tions to his way of dress from his friends, par- ents and relatives. “Most of my friends and the people who real- ly knew me were not surprised at all. My mom was real supportive. She realized, I guess, that the 50’s era was the same way and that I should be allowed to do my own thing.” Barentine first became intrigued by the idea of “individualism through dress” four years ago in Miami. “I became real good friends with some guys from the UK, and they influenced me a lot, not to say that I copied their style or anything. I mean, they were just real influential in my deci sion to do this. A good friend of mine, Wayne Swygert, also helped. We all sort of ‘do our own thing’ so to speak, but we do not dress punk. “Punk is a specific style, and I don’t follow fads. If I put a name on my ‘style,’ then people’d copy it, and then how different would I be? If that did happen, people tried to copy me, I mean, I’d do something differ- ent, but I doubt most people can get the clothes I have. “What bothers me, though, is that most people have this stereotype about the people that dress like I do and listen to my kind of music. It bothers me a lot. A person’s per- sonality is more important than his dress. My dress is just a minute fraction of my personality.” rap — talk to m 1 ir V f A_ 4 J Allen Simpson wasted — under an influence try to start a jump 46 Academics Divider Planning Ahead How Well Is SV Preparing You? very well 29% well 56% sufficiently 14% not at all 2% “SV is preparing me tremendously well for life after high school.

Lots of stomach ulcers, coffee, scram- bled eggs, chewed up pencils and four years of school later I don’t feel any different. Maybe more tired. Very tired. Tired as heck. I’ve got blurred vision now, you see, and I stutter a lot now. My hair is as funny looking as it used to be, but I’ve picked up this habit of not listening to people when they talk to me. Spring Valley? Yeah, I’ve heard this place called a whole bunch of different things — a soap factory, a jock school, a place of stuck up preppies, a party school, a madhouse, an educationally outstanding institution and, a tempo- rary resting place. It’s all of the above. Diversity, you know, except they don’t have as many blacks or orientals as they should have. I don’t know if I’m any smarter than when I first entered this place as a freshman — a little Chinese dude with hair that stuck up, laughed too much and punched on people. I don’t suppose I’ve changed that much. Opportunity? Yeah, there’s opportu- nity at this school. You’re free to use the bathroom here without anyone pushing you into the toilet. Usually. Fun? Yeah, there’s fun — if you like getting your brains fired out on week- ends doing what everyone else happens to be doing. Real fun. Education? Sure, I know how to add up a bunch of “x’s” and “p’s” and “z’s” and stuff like that. I can tell you the biological parts of a flower. I know the 1984 budget deficit. I’m smart as heck. Friends? Definitely. You get to see the same noses and eyes and mouths, and hear the same screechy, monotone voices for more than 13,000 hours. No more. No less. Great comradeship. The bell rings. The bell is always ringing isn’t it? But that’s the way we measure time in this hell hole. Haven’t you ever realized the way we’re pro- cessed at this school? Put a label on. Want to be a jock? Cheerleader? Egg- head? Slap a big fat label and the ap- propriate clothes on your back. Want to be a pothead? An artistic flit? Sure, put your label on — you belong if you ad- vertise. You come through one big door as an egghead larva or jock larva and you grow into it. Four years later you’re a senior. Real fun. Some people think I don’t enjoy school. Not true. Not true at all. I’ve learned a lot here, and it’s been real fun. Yeah, I suppose I haven’t done that much homework, and I know that I’ve always been sarcastic to people, but it’s all been in fun. Real fun. This is the real world, guys. Next year we’ll just be in a different phase of the real world — non-seniors. Just a bit more fun. I’m older now.

Academics 49 Promoting Perfection Dedication and work by both stu- dents and teachers have brought recog- nition and respect to the academic pro- gram at Spring Valley, one of the fore- most schools in the nation in education. The culmination of Spring Valley’s efforts was the Excellence in Education award received in 1983. However, stu- dents and faculty continuted to work for the future and for the improvement of the school, while also receiving an impressive education, the true purpose of Spring Valley. Students were aware of the tough standards and superior courses offered and how they will influence enrollment at a university or college. “I think that the courses given at Spring Valley, as compared to other schools, give SV students a better chance to get into the schools they want to. In North Carolina the high school I attended was a very good school, but it didn’t prepare its students as well as Spring Valley because it did not give the intense courses that Spring Valley does. Even though I haven’t been at Spring Valley as long as other students, I feel that the courses given and the teachers offer students an opportunity to develop to their fullest potential,” sophomore Mark Williams said. “Academically, Spring Valley better prepares students for the future than any other private or public schools I know of. The courses are strenuous and time-consuming and offer a challenge to students they would not receive at other schools,” sophomore Leigh Toner said. The faculty of Spring Valley recog- nized the importance of academics and said that Spring Valley compared well with any other secondary school. I believe the education students are receiving here is first-rate. I think our average student has certainly improved over the last four years in motivation and taking classes seriously,” Dr. Idris McElveen, English teacher said. “Although one part of the school does not overshadow another, I think that academics is given the number one pri- ority which is appropriate,” calculus teacher David Oberly said. Interaction between students and faculty was imperative to the success of the individual student as well as the success of Spring Valley. “I think there is a lot of interaction which enhances the learning process. The teachers let the students know that they care about the individual. The teachers care greatly about what they are doing since many of them selected teaching because they love it,” chemis- Wishing they were forms of life capable of hap- pily living in a fresh water aquarium.

He had a few minutes before the bell one day, so he picked up a Muppet book to read for fun. Challenge of Competition Spurs Students try teacher Caroline H. Bowers said. Competition among students was tough and pressures in classes were in- tense. However, the teachers and stu- dents said the goal of acceptance into a university or college and self-achieve- ment made all the work justified. “Recognition as well as self-achieve- ment pushes me toward individual ex- cellence. The work will be rewarded by getting into a selected college and field,” junior Jeff Elder said. “Academics are very important to me since my main desire is getting into a college. At the end of nine weeks, I real- ize I’m capable, and I am encouraged to go on and struggle with a renewed con- fidence in myself,” junior Christy Gun- nell said. “My first goal is college. I’m good at mathematic-scientific things, and I think that will help my college chances. All the time and work definitely im- pedes some things, yet I don’t mind,” senior Brian Albrecht said. “The vast majority of students work very hard. I think the rewards are sev- eral in nature and hopefully on a daily level of learning. I think in the long run it all pays off,” Bowers said. There is a tremendous amount of aca- demic pressure on our top students. In fact, most of them are close to bur- nout,” McElveen said. Difficult courses made learning and achieving a much more challenging ex- perience. “My most difficult course is English III Honors basically because of the time it takes and the difficult assignments every day. Also, the tests are incredibly hard,” Gunnell said. “A.P. computers is my hardest class because it is extremely time-consuming and it’s hard to grasp the abstract ideas involved,” sophomore Eric Blau said. The best academic advice was to take advantage of the schedule and parents involved in education, according to Bowers. M.

Wilson had impressive statistics. More than 80 percent of students en- rolled at Wilson had been placed in jobs, and 60 percent obtained employ- ment after graduation. Also, 40 percent of Wilson students entered college after high school. The chances of a Wilson student getting a job were greatly en- hanced by the 900 hours of training in any of 18 areas. Junior Dean Mabe took Welding I for exposure to the type of employment he says he plans to seek. “I am taking welding because it’s a job I’m going into. Last year when I couldn’t take auto mechanics, I took welding instead. Now, I am planning to take a second year of welding and it will probably be easy to get a job,” Mabe said. The diversity of offered courses al- lowed a student to select a vocational field which may be developed into a career. Although priority was given to tenth grade students for enrollment in the pre-vocational program, students of any grade may have taken advantage of the curriculum. Courses were open to male and fe- male students. No class was restricted to members of any particular sex and students were encouraged to select classes based on interests and abilities. Also, four vocational clubs were available at Wilson for students. Junior Achievement, Health Occupations Stu- dents of America (HOSA), Distributive Education Club of America (DECA), and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). During the summer, students and teachers from graphics, air condition- ing, building construction and masonry classes were employed by Richland School District Two to get schools ready for the upcoming school year. The vocational programs at Wilson were divided into two areas. Trade and industry included air conditioning, re- frigeration, electricity electronics, graphics, machine shop, building con- struction and welding. Health, business and homemaker programs included of- fice occupations, marketing and distri- butive education. The rehabilitation program at Wil- son trained students in a learning envi- ronment to work effectively in the out- side world. Students were helped to identify and overcome disabilities and were given assistance in job training. “Wilson offers students opportunities to gain experience in a trade or busi- ness,” Doug Odom, assistant principal at Wilson, said.

Buck placed first of twelve students in vocational district two. He finished first in the state vocational competition and placed between fourth and tenth in national competition, according to Elmer Richards, machine shop instruc- tor. In the national contest, Buck had to work on the vertical milling machine, make parts on an engine latea and take written tests. Boron finished second in the nation- als for graphics. He had to complete the complete printing process. “I think it’s a great thing.” I wish we had more students who could go to the national contest,” Richards said. Between the district’s finals and na- tional finals, Buck won approximately $1,200 in tools. He was hired by Rock- well International. Boron was hired by State Printing, Corp.

The Basics For Survival Self care, home management, adap- tive P.E., horticulture, functional aca- demics, leisure time, and pre-vocational workshop are some of the activities that handicapped students at Wilson par- ticipate in. In self care students learn how to care for their personal needs. They also learn about skin care. Home management involves learning many of the essential elements for keeping house. Students learn how to use different appliances such as a gar- bage disposal or washing machine. They learn laundering and cleaning techniques as well. Shopping skills and preparation of simple snacks are also learned. Adaptive P.E. is modified to the abilities of the student. Bowling and skating are some of the fun P.E. activi- ties that students participate in. In horticulture students learn about gardening. They plant seeds and root cuttings. Functional academics involves basic information for everyday life. Students master fundamental information and literacy skills. Leisure time activities include art and music activities. Students also learn different games. In pre-vocational workshop students learn to stay on and complete tasks. They assemble and disassemble basic objects. A record of the date, the amount done correctly, and the time it took to do the task is kept. Students also put together bags for the lunch room. After lunch they work cleaning up the cafeteria. When students complete a task they are rewarded with tokens. These tokens can be turned in at a student-run can- teen for snacks.

Five weeks and about five pounds of paper later, I walked into the same lob- by from the auditorium where I had just graduated. The lobby was jammed with students of the arts — visual art- ists, actors, vocalists, musicians, danc- ers and writers, of which I knew almost everyone. The people in the lobby were all part of one very large, very close family, and the family was being torn apart. Most cried, and everyone em- braced. I felt a knot in my throat, and I frowned to keep it down. I left for the men’s dorm to pack my stuff. It rained hard as I left McAlister, and though I wore a coat and tie (the same clothes in which I had registered), I didn’t care about getting wet. I met a friend on the road, we embraced and he wept freely. I felt the knot rise in my throat, so I squeezed him harder to keep it down. My clothes, my papers and my type- writer were all packed in the car. My parents silently observed as I looked painfully down in the muddy Furman grass. It had tricked me. Governor’s School had tricked me. Night after night it had whispered to me in my sleep, “This is how it can be,” when actually it couldn’t. Governor’s School gave the illusion that there are places in the world where everybody under- stands what you’re trying to say, where art is first. The car wound slowly along the roads of Furman campus while rain pelted the windshield. The knot rose, and I clamped my teeth. The windshield wip- ers squeaked as if mourning. We passed the fountains, and as we drove through the wrought iron gates, I let forth a whine and a gush of tears. There is no such place in the world.

Now when I give a test, I just go to the computer, find the test I want to give and have it in less than five minutes. Before, it took me one or one and a half hours on the typewriter and then I still had to run off copies,” Lintner said. Cadets are allowed to use the com- puter only before and after school and during lunch, according to Lintner. “I use the computer to go over class work, administrative purposes, cadet records, demerits and files on cadets. The demerits are put on the cadets file by the cadet once a week. They seem to be able to do it themselves with no problems. That gives more time to do other things and gives the cadets a sense of responsibility. It has worked out well so far,” Lintner said. The cadets have taken to the comput- er very well, according to Lintner. “I feel the computer will become a very useful tool in the future and an excellent benefit for students. I think the computer is a very beneficial tool in the education of our students,” Lintner said. Scott Kramer Boarding the helicopter at Shaw Air Force Base. Lea McQueen gets ready for her ride.

As I watched the upperclassmen read and wait, I got more nervous than before. And I was only a freshman. “Erin, turn to page 40 and read Ag- nes. Karrie, you read Felicity,” my fa- ther said. “Uh, okay, Um, what page did you say again?” I asked in panic. I could imagine what the seniors were thinking about me. “What? A freshman?” Needless to say, I didn’t get a part. When the cast list was posted, my heart dropped, and I left the drama room in tears. Dad tried to console me by saying that I was too young to be cast as an adult and that one day, my time would come. My junior year came, and I decided to, once again, try out for a play. The name of it was “Laundry and Bourbon” and I got cast as Amy Lee, the nosy, snotty neighbor to sweet Elizabeth, who was played by Charline Rochefort. Brandy Rucker was cast as the loud- mouthed Hattie. I remember feeling in- timidated by Brandy at first, but I soon got to know both her and Charline, and we got along really well. We worked as a team for four weeks, and opening night finally arrived. My pulse raced as I got onstage. The audience was forgotten for the time be- ing. 1 had to forget them and become Amy Lee. Our performance ended, and we came back for the curtain call. The audience was on their feet — for us. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that night. As the audience stood, I could feel Charline and Brandy squeeze my hands — we knew we had done it. After “Laundry and Bourbon,” I had gotten enough points to be inducted into Thespians. At that point I looked on it as a reward for all the times I had put in to theater at S.V. I was being repaid for all the times I had worked props, lights and costumes. The induction was at my house, which didn’t mean much to me. We were escorted, blindfolded, into the liv- ing room by the old members. The whole ceremony took about 15 minutes. It wasn’t much at all. I thought, this is what I’ve been waiting for for two years? Looking back on my first three years at S.V., I think I stuck with theater mainly because I felt comf6rtable with the people. If I had problems with my friends in the commons, I could escape to the drama room and just be myself. They listened to my problems, talked about them and accepted me — no strings attached. I didn’t have to be anyone but myself. I realized something a while after Thespian inductions. Getting into Thespians and being involved with the- ater had nothing to do with being re- paid or being recognized for work I had done. At S.V., it has to do with caring and understanding others; their differ- ences, fears, joys and pain. Although it has to do with being devoted to theater and not giving up. In no other group at S.V. have I seen such a diverse group of students working together for one cause. Students like Sabra Coward, Al- len Simpson, Matt Younginer, Tammy Jacobs — they are so different, but one thing holds them together — their love of theater. I guess that’s why people call theater “magic.” This fall, I sat in the little theater with all the others waiting for my turn to audition. After I watched the under- classmen read, my dad called my turn to audition. As I walked on stage, I got nervous thinking about my competition — people like Hope Derrick, Hallie Rose, Danielle Howie Beverly Blouin. But I was a Senior. “Erin, you read Sister Mary’s mono- logue on page 32,” Dad said. I could imagine what the underclass- men were thinking about me — “She’s a senior. She’s got a good chance.” When the cast list went up, I looked and saw that I got the part I wanted — the nun in “Sister Mary Ignatius Ex- plains It All For You.” I looked around the drama room, and I saw the pain in the eyes of the underclassmen ... I un- derstood. But I knew, one day their time would come.

Once in a while, the phone will jangle at some ungodly hour, like at midnight or during my afternoon nap, and it doesn’t take much reasoning to figure out who it is. “Sleeping?” he screeches. “Naw, you couldn’t be. 1 don’t know why you waste so much time sleeping anyway.” By the time he’s finished his tirade and launched into the idea that prompted his call in the first place, you’re awake anyway, so why bother to argue? Knight charges around on a 24-hour high. He’s got an effervescent energy some would pay 50 bucks a capsule for on the black market. The man is so moral, however, it seems blasphemous to consider that chemicals might be be- hind the charisma. The most potent stuff he consumes is Pepsi. Rumor has it he sleeps occasionally, but no one has proof to substantiate the claim. Now is this the kind of man you want teaching your children? Meet David Knight, high school teacher extraordinaire, adolescent heartthrob, self-taught journalist, and part-time carpenter. He is, according to one Richland County School District Two official, “the biggest single factor for people knowing anything about Spring Valley High School.” Knight is advisor to the Viking Shield, a slick, sophisticated newspaper put out by Spring Valley students for Spring Valley students. He’s not mak- ing money, but he’s making journalists, sending just-graduated seniors off to college with fat portfolios and real-life experience. Without students, his classroom looks like a big-city newsroom: dirty and cluttered (the Knight trademark) with video display terminals, word pro- cessors and light tables. Knight is becoming something of a celebrity in scholastic journalism and is invited to teach at more workshops than he can handle. Last summer he conducted one in Nebraska; he’s been invited back this year. Whether he was nurtured or neglect- ed as a child, no one knows, but some- thing has turned him into the Mother Teresa of District Two. He stubbornly believes every student is potential personified, and all they need is a little attention, a little praise and a whole lot of motivation, the latter which he endeavors to provide. “We’ve got a motel room in Wilson (Vocational Center) and sometimes if he’s working past mid-night, he’ll just spend the night there. He’ll call and ask somebody to bring him clean under- wear,” Nesbit says. Knight is popular with students, who spend the first few weeks around him in bewilderment. “I’d heard he was a crazy man,” sen- ior Rob Ricks says. “He was pretty strict the first week, but after that his true side starts coming through. “He gets down to our level. Some- times kids will cut up in class, but he just cuts right through them, makes them feel like they’re not such hot stuff. He calls people funny names like snot- breath. “If we miss a deadline or something, he doesn’t get mad; he just kind of groans and says ‘Ohhhh, you’ve ruined my life; now I’m going to have to stay up all night and finish this; I’m going to be the one who gets in trouble.” “He makes you wish you hadn’t done it.” Personal discussion is off limits, but he’ll tell you about his students. “Every year I think I’ve got the best group of students I can ever hope to have, but they keep getting better each year,” he says. “These kids put in the hours.” Wonder why?

They Work Together Tutors, a club designed to help stu- dents on all academic levels by peer tutoring, has been formed. “Guidance counselor Kathy Handel mentioned this idea to me about three or four years ago. She is interested in peer tutoring. I had some doubts to start with, but after hearing so many positive comments from students and teachers, I’m beginning to believe it is working out well,” Idris McElveen, sponsor, said During lunch Monday through Thursday, a student can request a tutor. A peer counselor then talks with a stu- dent about his problems and matches the student with a tutor. “I try to match up two people who will compliment each other. Pairs do well together when a person makes up for the other person in an area. Some- body who is a little withdrawn would match well with somebody who would draw them out more. There haven’t been any complaints from anyone about his match,” Jennifer Dargan, peer counselor, said. More than 68 pairs of tutors and stu- dents meet twice a week for thirty min- ute sessions either during lunch or after school. “The thing that has worked real well is the peer counselors. Their judgement with matching up students with tutor has been on target,” McElveen said. The hardest thing about the program is getting the student together after they are matched, according to McEl- veen. “One person will show up, but the other won’t. That means one person is serious, and the other isn’t. Sometimes a student has to be chased down two or three days when he doesn’t show up”, McElveen said. Another problem is that a student may not have a real problem. The tutor does not feel helpful but usually stays with the student a little longer to con- firm that the student can do well, ac- cording to McElveen. Dargan says sometimes the student just needs more confidence. “A lot of students come in depressed about grades, but they leave feeling a lot better about what is going to happen. That makes me feel good about what we’re doing,” Dargan said. The most requested subjects are math, mainly geometry and algebra, and all foreign languages, but tutors are available in almost any subject, McEl- veen says. Tutors do not get paid for their work but do achieve recognition and service credit. After each week a tutor logs in his time. When a certain number of hours is reached, the tutor moves up a level. There are four levels. The higher level a tutor gets to, the more service credit he gets, according to McElveen. Teachers say students who have tu- tors do better and are happier because they feel better about themselves, Dar- gan says. “I like working with students. It makes me feel like I’m helping some- body. I decided to be a peer counselor instead of a tutor because I felt I could help more people,” Dargan said.

When I was three, my family moved from New Jersey to North Carolina. I don’t remember the moving truck, but I can still recall feeling frightened by the curtains in my new room. Change is scary. Between then and eighth grade I moved five more times. And though I’ve been living in Columbia since I was thirteen, I don’t think I’ve ever changed more in such a short period of time. Now I’m seventeen, a senior in high school. Believe it or not, I finally feel settled. I’m secure. In just nine short months, though, I’ll be moving again. This time it is my choice. But before I can feel prepared to go further, I must understand what has made me the way I am now. When I first moved to Columbia, I joined B’nai B’rith Girls. I attended all the meetings and conventions, chaired committees, and held offices. BBG en- hanced my social growth. By the end of my presidential term, I had learned a great deal about organized and effective leadership. Perhaps equally important was the fact that I learned to go to out- of-town conventions without crying myself to sleep. I was only very active in BBG until the end of my sophomore year, but those three years were invalu- able in my later adventures as an up- perclassman. My junior year I become more active in the National Forensics League at Spring Valley. I was never one of the big winners for the team, but Coach Brooks made me feel that I was contri- buting in other ways. He asked me to be Captain of Speech, and I eagerly ac- cepted. In this role I faced the new chal- lenge of organizing and motivating my peers, rather than group members who were younger than I. I also learned to share a hotel room and a single bath- room with five other people, sleep in a crowded moving activity bus, and read a map of Philadelphia. Most important- ly, through NFL grew relationships with my closest friends. This year I am Business Editor of SAGA. This is my greatest challenge yet, but it is also quickly becoming my favorite. The day Buddin asked me if I would take the job, I was hesitant. When I finally said “yes,” I suddenly met twenty people and became respon- sible for twenty-eight thousand dollars. Because of my previous experience in BBG and NFL, I have grown easily into this position. I am organizing, delegat- ing and managing. I enjoy what I am doing and I feel that I am succeeding. From the academic point of view, these have been the most difficult four years of my life. I have taken many honors courses and have worked hard for my grades. Beyond the actual edu- cational value of these classes, I have learned self-motivation, self-discipline, and time management. I am satisfied by the knowledge that I am passing what I have learned on to others. I am a tutor and a peer counsel- or in Tutors, and a teacher’s aide at my synagogue’s Hebrew School. Whether I am teaching one student English vo- cabulary or another student Hebrew vocabulary, I am contributing to some- one else’s academic growth. In addition, by teaching what I have learned to an- other student, I achieve one of the high- est levels of comprehension, thus con- tributing to my own academic growth. The four years during my high school career have changed me a great deal. I have grown from an eighth-grade fol- lower in BBG to a twelfth-grade leader of SAGA. I have taught others what I have learned through Tutors and in He- brew School. I have contributed to my overall personal growth and, in a small- er way, to the growth of my school and community. I understand what I have gained from these experiences, and I’m ready to move on.

Organizing services for the community and school, Key Club President Mark Chisom was chosen as an Outstanding Senior. Extra hours spent drawing layouts and meeting deadlines helped get SAGA Editor Laura Sharpe selected Outstanding Senior. Taking minutes at council meetings and filing committee reports were two of the jobs of Out- standing Senior Connie Jones, Secretary of Stu- dent Council. Sitting at a desk writing newspaper stories and hitting balls on the tennis court are two activities that Outstanding Senior Caroline Bell is involved in. leading cheers at pep rallies and games, as well as supporting all school activities take up much of Outstanding Senior Dina Fitts’ time as a varsity cheerleader. Giving to SV, Outstanding Senior Jimmy Larsen plans activities and represents the school as President of the student body. Active in Debate. Mary Anderson’s contributions to the NFL and other clubs helped get her select- ed as Outstanding Senior. Superb performances in Lincoln-Douglas debate competitions made Kris Hartley an excellent sample of an outstanding senior. Writing for the Viking Shield and presenting ora- tories for the NFL were two reasons that Jim Dillon was selected Outstanding Senior. In addition to participating in the NFL, Out- standing Senior Debbie Woog organizes yearbook ads and sales as the Business Editor. 73 My Name Is Connie! I was a B-squad cheerleader. I had been practicing at the school for three months prior to the beginning of my ninth grade year. I knew my way around campus with my eyes closed — okay, I peeked occasionally. I had also met a few upperclassmen so I should not have been afraid the first day. Guess who got fooled? The first day of school I got up at 5:30. “I should have gotten my haircut. Bangs are so eighth grade,” I thought to myself. How could my brother, Dwayne, be so calm? I supposed “calm” came with being a junior and a varsity football player. As we pulled into the parking lot, I felt my Rice Krispies playing ping pong in my stomach. How will I ever find my friends?” Needless to say, I found my friends and began my high school days. I spent the first two years being called “Baby Dwayne” and “Little Jones” by mem- bers of the varsity football and baseball teams. I felt like having a “CONNIE” branded into my forehead so these walking letter jackets would realize that I had a name. But looking back, those were two of my best years in my life. My brother, whether he knows it or not, caused me to become an individual. I explored different areas of Spring Val- ley — besides sports — and I became involved. I was becoming one of those Student Council members under Bud- din’s iron hand and loving every minute of it. Dwayne also encouraged me to become serious about academics — he preferred English; I liked math, until calculus. I have changed tremendously in my four years at Spring Valley. My jeans to dress pants to skirts and dresses. My friends say I dress like someone’s moth- er or a school teacher (no offense). But, I have found my “identify.” I have been fortunate enough, while at Spring Valley to have excellent teachers and be involved in special pro- grams and events. I am proud of “my” school and I take advantage of the op- portunity to tell outsiders of Spring Valley’s excellence. At the Southern Association of Stu- dent Council’s Conference this year in Texas, a guy came up and asked where I was from. Noticing, from his nametag, that he was from Arkansas — he also knew I was from South Carolina so I replied, “Spring Valley.” “Is that a town?” he asked. “No. Spring Valley is the best high school — period,” I answered simply. Connie Jones Photography shows, yearbook spreads, and student govern- ment receptions all exemplify Outstanding Senior Mary Galvin’s talents and creativity. 74 Serving the community. National Honor Society President Brian Albrect organized the blood drive and a Muscular Distrophy fund raiser which contributed to his being selected Outstand- ing Senior. Organizing powder puff, working on the winning float, and planning graduation are some of the many jobs of Outstanding Senior John Synn, President of the senior class. Competing in math tournaments and supervising club functions are two activities that Outstanding Senior Kevin Mills participates in as President of the honorary math club. Mu Alpha Theta. Giving her best, Outstanding Senior Andrea Der- rick has won many awards for her after dinner speaking. Superior acting talents enabled Outstanding Sen- ior Jim Chesnutt to play the streetwise teenager as well as the innocent young boy in two major drama productions. Modeling at the Fashion Show and personal in- terviews with judges won Outstanding Senior Jennifer Dargan the title of Miss Sportsarama. Playing dracula in the annual haunted house, en- tertaining children at Carolina Childrens Home, and collecting stamps to send food to starving children overseas are a few of the many roles which Outstanding Senior, Susan Kuhne, is known for as former President and active member of Interact. Extra hours spent directing, marching, and lead- ing the band are a few of the reasons Dean Hoyle was selected as an Outstanding Senior. Putting in extra hours for student council and SAGA helped get Gaye Coleman selected as Out- standing Senior. Active participation on the newspaper and De- bate Team make Steve Burr a prime example of an Outstanding Senior. outstanding seniors 75 They Wore The Right Socks I always wanted to win a senior su- perlative, but then again, I also wanted to meet the Easter Bunny. When we were underclassmen, we looked up to our senior counterparts ... or at least, some of our senior coun- terparts. The choice few, the cream of the crop, the filet mignon of our senior cuisine. These lofty heroes played a ma- jor role in the way we acted, ate, slept, dressed, walked and talked. Of course, we would never let these seniors know we felt this esteem for them. We would act cool, keep our mouths shut and just try to soak in the brilliance that was the senior. And so it was only fitting that those special sen- iors be recognized for their god-like qualities and be set apart from their fellow classmates ... for they possessed that extra smile that earned them friendliest — wore the right socks and became best dressed — expostulated on the origin of mouthwash and were crowned most intellectual — did trig equations while riding a wild beast (through rain no doubt), and were crowned most talented — never got caught and were most likely to succeed — and of course, said “nah” in quick repetition and were deemed wittiest. Yes. those seniors were the best in their fields. Of course, there were those who were skeptical about the method in which our superlatives were determined. A ballot given to each senior in home- room was not accurate, they said. Some argumentative seniors, most commu- nists, felt that it was impossible to choose who was the best in each cate- gory. There are just too many friendly seniors at Spring Valley to decide who is the overall friendliest, another senior commented. Well, these people prob- ably have led sheltered childhoods and just don’t see the beauty in the demo- cratic system. Besides, if they have a better method, then tell them to submit it to a student council representative. I’m sure the proposal will reach the fac- ulty within the next, say, 8 or 9 months. Adding his humor for two years in a row to the Mr. SV Pageant has earned Matt Younginer the title of Wittiest. Enthusiasm, energy, and hype contribute to ever- ything that Wittiest Mamie Arthur does. Preparing for the new year, Most Dependable Connie Jones edits the school’s student hand- book. Behind the scenes. Most Dependable Ken Carter is constantly involved in making the Debate Team work. 76 senior superlatives Maintaining their academic excellence, debate team member Mary Anderson and Mu Alpha Theta President Kevin Mills were named Most Intellectual. Student Council members Gaye Coleman and Jeff Bell were voted Friendliest and are known for involvement and optimistic attitudes. Constantly exhibiting their enthusiasm for Spring Valley, varsity cheerleader Pam Martin and Leo Club President Wayne Covert, who was a major contribution to senior pep rallies, were named Most School Spirit. Excelling in track and cross country, Susan Goiser was named Most Athletic, along with of- fensive back Frankie Brown, winner of the Cap- tain’s award. senior superlatives 77 Best Looking Linda Gaetan shows Wesley Rabon the smile that won him the title. Best all around, student body Vice-President Re- becca Humphries and President Jimmy Larsen earned their titles through involvement in school activities, enthusiasm and promotion of Spring Valley pride. Making the most of their abilities helped Jim Chesnutt and Melanie Free earn the title of Most Talented. 78 senior superlatives The Filet Mignon Of Our Senior Cuisine The lowest cut, however, is the fact that numerous underclassmen feel that they should have a say in the decision making process and be allowed to cast their lowly votes. Clearly, this is an act of impetuousness on their part. All stu- dents know that decision making isn’t taught until the first quarter of one’s senior year. That is why we have the voting in the second quarter — to as- sure a clear-headed and sensible choice to be made by each responsible senior. Besides, if God meant seniors and un- derclassmen to make all their decisions together, he’d have given us one park- ing lot. This year’s superlatives were given to the people who, of course, were meant for the honor, testimonial to the won- derful system being used to determine the winners.

We moved down from Michigan in the summer before my third grade, and my parents, to say the least, were quite con- cerned about the dearth of educational opportunities in the South Carolina system of public education. (“Thank God for Mississippi!” 1 believe the say- ing goes.) Anyway, that’s why I attend- ed Wildewood until the eighth grade. Wildewood discontinued its “upper school,” and I was forced to turn else- where for an education. Since my brother Charlie (he always seems to crop up) had gone to Spring Valley two years earlier, I finally realized that Spring Valley was the exception rather than the rule. Now that I’m here, I’ve been asked to enlighten all of my fellow students about ... well .. . me. I am, by nature, a very competitive individual. I’ll say that again — I am a very competitive individual. This competitive spirit that I have always possessed has given me a competitive edge (like they say on the deodorant commercials) which has al- lowed me to excel. I’ve never liked to lose; In fact, I hate losing; it makes me nauseous even. There’s one major set- back; it’s killing me. As I’ve asked my- self countless times before, “Why do I do it?” I revel in the results of my ef- forts. At this point, it would seem approp- riate to expound on these “results,” (Uh-Oh. It’s beginning to sound like a chemistry lab. Those things must be getting to me) but to tell you the truth, I’m a pretty modest guy. I’ll just say this: I’ve won some hefty awards that say a lot for Spring Valley, my teachers, my parents, and for my transcript. Boy, that was sticky. I’m glad it’s over with. Now on to the good stuff. Throughout high school, I’ve been ex- posed to a very broad array of schools, not just in the state, but in the nation, and even in the world. I might be a little bit biased, but I’m firmly con- vinced that Spring Valley ranks right up there with the best of them. I only wish that everyone would realize the awesome caliber of Spring Valley. I only wish that everyone knew that you can go to the Bronx High School of Sci- ence (that powerhouse of intellect) for four years in a row and still not have any inkling as to what their school col- ors are. I only wish that everyone knew that some schools don’t even have pep- rallies. I only wish that everyone knew that some people go to high school for four years without really “knowing” a single one of their teachers. I only wish that everyone knew that it’s not the money that keeps the teachers at Spring Valley — it’s us. I only wish that everyone knew that we take too much for granted: (being able to say “hi” to the teachers we know, having a parking lot so we can drive to school, having clubs and sponsors, air-conditioning, carpet, secretaries who care enough to update a bulletin board of all of our accomplishments, having a mainten- ance crew that will do just about any- thing we ask . . . The list is endless) Finally, I wish that we would all realize that we owe somebody for all of these things. After all, they weren’t bestowed upon us by some arbitrary benefactor; they were earned. So what’s my point? I try to excel because that is my way of repaying. Sure, my accomplishments mean a lot to me, but only in the context of what I just said. It’s a great feeling to “win,” but it’s a far greater feeling knowing that there is someone out there who is glad you won, who appreciates your ac- complishment. I’ve probably rambled on long enough, but what it comes down to is that, in my mind, I’ve repaid at least some of my share of that monumental debt.

Hours Of Practice Equal Artistic Excellence Artistic projects involve a long hard process, but they can also be rewarding. In theatre, the process of prepara- tion for a performance begins by dis- covering who the character really is, according to junior Kim Ginsberg. “In a play it is essential to have suffi- cient time to get yourself into the character. It is a form of hypnosis — you think yourself in that character until you actually become the char- acter.” In the weeks leading up to a per- formance many hours are spent in rehearsal and studying lines, accord- ing to junior Hope Derrick. “Usually about ten hours a week are spent in rehearsals and at least one hour a day learning lines. The week of the performances approximately four and a half hours a night are spent preparing for the show and perform- ing.” All of the hours of hard work pay off in the end, according to sopho- more Allen Simpson. “When you work hard and do a great job and get a standing ovation, you reach an emotional high that is hard to ex- plain. They are clapping for you. The feeling is worth everything.” Kim Ginsberg agrees that the feel- ing is terrific. “It is a natural high just like music. You get out on the stage and you have the feeling of con- trolling the world. The creative process begins with an idea. According to senior Henry Stamper, ideas for art can come from everyday things. “Many of the ideas I get for art projects come from sim- ple objects that can be changed into interesting compositions,” Stamper said. Senior Pete Woodard says, “The best part of completing a project is when you can sit back in your chair and look at your finished product knowing you have done your best.” Leigh Toner Every year the South Carolina Art Education As- sociation presents an Art Advocacy award to a non-educator who contributes significantly to art education in the state.

Fine Arts 83 A Three-Ring Circus It must have looked a lot like a three- ring circus. Sleeping bags were rolled up and thrown into the center of a mound of pillows and overnight bags. People were everywhere — parents hurriedly saying good-bye to their children, and frantic chaperones rushing to load ever- ything onto the van. And during all this we were being yelled last minute instructions. It was five o’clock in the morning, and we were going to Phila- delphia. “Okay, people,” Mr. Brooks, nationally renowned Speech and De- bate coach, screamed. “Load up. We need to get started. Where are my ciga- rettes?” A sleepy individual events per- son yawned and handed the coach his pack. “Do you have your coat?” my doting mother asked one more time. I assured her that I would stay warm and “be careful,”and climbed in. Brooks started the van, and we were on our way. At seven o’clock Brooks grabbed his tour-guide-style microphone from his driver’s seat and announced that we had been given enough rest-and-relax- ation time. “Let’s get to work,” he growled. I stretched in my small space and started to pull out the piece that I was to interpret at the tournament. What I was most afraid of at that mo- ment of course had to happen. “Woog, come to the front. I want to hear what you’ve done.” “When are we going to stop for break- fast?” some brave soul queried. “Not until you’ve all worked for one and a half silent hours. Maybe we’ll find a Mickey D’s off the highway.” A simultaneous groan was heard from the crowd in the van. We knew that meant we wouldn’t stop for at least three more hours. And we knew we’d all despise McDonalds by the next morning. I climbed over the bodies in the aisle and moved to the front. The piece that Brooks wanted me to do was called Archy and Mehitabel by Don Marquis. I hated it. The main character in this “literary” work was a cat. An extremely promiscuous cat. But try as I might, I could not bring myself to become this very friendly character. It just wasn’t me. I knew I was an actress who was supposed to be able to handle such things, but I just couldn’t. I was, howev- er, doing an excellent job in my charac- ter of the six year old girl named Eloise. While I searched for the cat within my soul (Brooks encouraged me to use “The Method” for this one), the phrase “no way”kept popping into my mind. Brooks started to get angry and sent me back to my seat. Twelve hours of driving time later we arrived in Philadelphia. I went into my first round of competition with knock- ing knees and a shaking voice. I, of course, was lucky enough to go first. I tried to become Mehitabel, but it sounded like I was acting. I received a ranking of sixth out of six in that round. Too frustrated to go outside and meet my friends, I paced in an empty room when everyone was gone. I was furious with myself. I knew I was better than that. When it was time for the next round, I entered the room slightly less scared and much more determined. I was still searching . .. oblivious to other perfor- mances. My name was called, and I walked to the front of the room, still thinking about Mehitabel. I looked at the judge, smiled, and began my perfor- mance. Somehow the pacing and con- centration had taken effect. I felt Mehi- table. I became Mehitabel. 1 was first in that round. The ride home was long and tiring. After that second round I felt that I had finally succeeded. I conquered Mehita- bel.

One time 1 was at the fair with my girlfriend, and some kid ran into me and didn’t see me. He looked up, and his eyes got real big. He begged me not to hit him, and then he ran,” Brown said. Brown has lifted weights for four years, thrown shot put and discus in track for three years and played the saxophone in the band for seven years but has not played football in high school. “Half of the student body and coaches have bothered me to play football.” Brown did play football in middle school, but in his freshman year he decided to be in the band instead. “Band travels more. They go on more trips. Band also has more goodlooking girls.” Brown says that he has problems getting clothes to fit him. He buys his clothes from the Big and Tall Shop and Robins Men’s Clothing Shop. “I have to buy pants five to six sizes too large for my thighs. I have to buy my shirts to fit my arms and chest.” Next summer. Brown will try out for the Mr. Teenage South Carolina contest. “I’m competing against guys from all over the state. I work out four days a week for two-and- a-half hours a day to get ready.” Brown plans to attend college at Clemson or Carolina and major in chemical or electrical engineering.

Hoyle never really had a goal to be- come drum major until he saw how last year’s drum major, Charles Poore, en- joyed it. “He’s my idol,” Hoyle said. Hoyle said he has become more popu- lar since becoming drum major. “I don’t like it. It’s bad to be accepted just for that. I hope people don’t accept me just because I am drum major.” Hoyle says drum majors have a cer- tain image that they must uphold. “You have to be a respectable student who upholds the traditions of the band. You also have to be a good leader because all of those people are counting on you and looking at you. “This position is really held in high regard by the band,” Hoyle said. Most people who watch him direct do not realize the true duties of his job, according to Hoyle. “Most people think I’m up there waving my arms for enter- tainment or something. I have many things to think about. I have to keep the tempo,” Hoyle said. Hoyle has led the band in superior ratings at every band competition. He won best drum major at the Georgia Festival of Bands in Atlanta. Hoyle said it had been worth it. “After it’s all over, it’s hard to remember the bad times. All I remember are the people cheering, and I remember going down and receiv- ing trophies. I learned a lot about my- self, and my abilities and how to better communicate with other people.

I was only seven years old. When the rabbit came on stage, his tail fell off, and everybody started laughing. We couldn’t say our lines, so we all had to leave the stage,’’ Thigpen said. Since her first play, Thigpen has been in fifteen plays at Workshop Theater and Spring Valley. She was a member of the cast of Sister Mary Ignatius, which won first place at the South Carolina Theater Conference. She got her interest in theater from her family, Thigpen says. “My family has always been in- volved in theater. I’ve been sur- rounded by it all of my life.’’ Thigpen’s father, Jim Thigpen, has taught drama at Spring Valley for six years. “It’s not too bad having my dad as a teacher. When I came to Spring Valley in the ninth grade, I didn’t know anybody, so my dad being a teacher helped me meet people. It was weird being in his class at first, but after a while, it didn’t really mat- ter that he was my dad. I had to call him Mr. Thigpen just like everybody else.’’ Thigpen says she plans to continue acting after high school. Acting is a good way for a person to express himself, according to Thig- pen. “Acting gives you an outlet to let out your emotions. It gives you a chance to be someone different from yourself.’’ Thigpen said acting sometimes in- terferes with schoolwork. “When I get involved with theater, my schoolwork drops off. Before a play, we have four weeks of rehears- al. You have to spend a lot of time memorizing lines. The week of the play, I don’t think about schoolwork at all.” Satisfaction and a feeling of ac- complishment make the hard work worthwhile, according to Thigpen. “I get satisfaction when I do a good job in a play. It also makes me feel good when my dad says, ‘Erin, you did a good job,’ or like at the South Carolina Theater Conference, we looked over at him when we won, and he had a tear in his eye. It makes it more special because I know that he was proud of what I did.

I want to keep a smile on my face because who likes to see a gloomy face walking around the halls of Spring Valley? I want to give people comfort and let them feel com- fortable with talking to me if they have a problem,” Coleman said. Gaye did missionary work last sum- mer in Soest, Holland, about 30 miles south of Asterdam. “I’ve always wanted to go overseas and work with people to bring them closer to God. It makes me feel closer to God, and that is my goal,” Gaye commented. Gaye was involved in building an amphitheater for Christian education to teach people from all over the world. “We lived in pup-tents for six weeks. We had no showers, and it was totally freezing. We had to get up at 5:30 a.m. and then have our personal devotions. We then would work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Christian camp. The place wasn’t that bad, and the peo- ple we worked with were great,” Gaye said. In the future Gaye has other goals besides becoming a full time mission- ary. “I’ve always wanted to go into medi- cine, maybe nursing. But I would like to keep in touch with missionary work. I want to go on mission trips during the summer like I have begun to do. Later on in life, I think I want to commit my full time to missionary work. I love peo- ple, and it brings me closer to the Lord,” Gaye said.

Washington’s nicknames are Sugarbear, Breakmaster and Loverboy. The people are crazy when they see Washington breakdance. Senior Steve Washington teaches children to breakdance every Wednesday and Thursday at Unique Dance Studio. “I enjoy teaching and seeing kids break- dance,” Washington said. The first thing Washington starts the stu- dents doing is footwork, and he works them up to the windmill, the toughtest routine to teach. “The windmill is tough because it involves a lot of movement in arms and legs,” Washington said. After a routine is taught, the students show off their talents at Columbia Mall and Dutch Square, and at local dance studios and talent shows. “The students seem to enjoy learning and my teaching,” Washington said. The ages of the students range from 8-13 years old. “It’s best to teach kids when they’re young because the older students take longer to teach, Washington said. Washington has been breakdancing for five years. Washington started at the age of 12 and worked his way up from a beginner to a profes- sional. “I started breakdancing after I saw it on te- levison. Practicing four hours a day, breakdanc- ing became very easy for me,” Washington said. The songs that are best for breakdancing are Egypt, Egypt; Eight Million Stories and Hu- man Be Box, according to Washington. “My favorite song to breakdance to is Eight Million Stories. I like it because of the beat it has,” Washington said. Breakdancing involves stretching to get re- laxed. Legs, feet, arms, hands, and back are the parts of body breakdancing affects the most. “The reason why breakdancing is famous is because of the moves such as the windmill, pop, head spin, up rock, tick, wave, worm, moon- walk, hand spin, snake, turtle, and swipe.” “The electric bogalos is related to breakdanc- ing. Breakdancing will last for the next 10 years,” Washington said. The reason so few girls are breakdancing was because they were into prep, according to Washington. Paquita Jordan.

I guess this is because they look clumsy and not too intelli- gent. Though I feel I’m stereotyped the same way, I maintain a B + average and take all AP and honor courses.” “I don’t think students who take high courses are stereotype anymore. I think students who want to do something with their lives know that they have to do their best in school in order to suc- ceed with their goals,” Starkman said. “Weightlifting has done a lot for me. It has made me stronger, gives me self confidence and makes me feel better about myself. I also lift for psychologi- cal reasons, to motivate me to push my self as far as I can go.” Starkman started lifting weights to get big and to get into shape. He lifts four times a week and is serious about what he does. He had a set worktime and worked out on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Mondays, he worked on chest, shoulders, and triceps; Tuesdays- on back, biceps and legs and on Thurs- days and Fridays, he repeated the rou- tine. “The only easy part of my routine is the rests between workouts.” Starkman has no planned diet and does not take steroids. “Some think it’s strange when they find out I lift weights seriously. They think I’m a fanatic about it.” “I try not to look too muscular by not wearing muscle shirts and clothes that show off muscles, and not to be egotisti- cal as a lot of other weightlifters are.” “I think it’s ridiculous for weight- lifters to walk around like they’re cool and bully people because of their size.” Danny DeBorde seniors 105 Class participation plays an important part of home- economics, as senior Tracy James tries her luck at cooking.

Good Morning “Attention for the morning an- nouncements ... ” Another day already? I was just here for seven hours. Not to mention four hours of homework. Who ever said that these were the best years of your life? Your Junior year certainly isn’t. The object of your junior year is to see how much can be accomplished in only nine months. We can take the PSAT and the SAT. I think I’ll buy a ring. I hope I lose it. Maybe we can rent expensive clothes and get way over dressed and go to the prom. How about consideration by the Na- tional Honor Society? How about not? Meanwhile graduation is ap- proaching. I don’t want to go to col- lege. I want to go to a university. I won’t worry now. I still have another year. But they say this year means a lot. Who are “they”? I wish I knew. Any- way, on top of all my other pleasures, I am enrolled in several difficult courses and I try to join every club. I also quickly learned it can’t be done. It’s enough to drive a poor student insane. Maybe I am insane, and ev- eryone is just humoring me. Maybe everyone else is insane. Writing a passage analysis in 13 minutes is in- sane. So is a C-. So is a statue. I guess all I can do is my best. Or maybe I’ll ignore everything. Make a great impression. I’ll just try to have a good time and remain calm. I won- der what I need to do today. “There will be a mandatory Key club meeting in ... ” Brian Magargle Ready To Be Seniors? yes no 100% 0% “I think our class will be great in the leader- ship role of seniors next year, because we have a lot of responsible and reliable people,” says junior, Kandyss Goad. 118 juniors Showing their support for the junior class home- coming float are juniors Jenny Denton, Jeff Ross, Kellie Sharpe, Christy Gahagan and Ginny Rob- inson.

The people are fantastically charming. The sights and stores are wonder- ful.” London is like a scene from a Charles Dickens novel, accord- ing to Martin. “It’s a wonderful place. I think anyone going to Europe should see London first. I’d like to live in either England or Italy. I like the language. The Italian people are real ro- mantics and the Sistine Chapel is wonderful.” During the summer she usu- ally went to New York. Some- times she went to Europe. “If I don’t go to either, then I stay at my dad’s house, unless there’s an interesting trip he is taking.” There was nothing she re- greted about flying, according to Martin. “I’ve learned more, exper- ienced more, and seen so many things and places that all I can say is that I’m grateful my dad has this great job.” “I’d like to become a pilot sometime in the future. Maybe next summer I’m going to get my pilot’s license.” Alison Wall She Loves To Fly Junior Amanda Martin, whose father was an airline pi- lot, said she “loves to fly.” “My first trip was when I went with my parents, when I was nine months old, from Kansas City to Georgetown, South Carolina, to visit my grandma.” Martin’s father has worked for TWA for 19 years. “I receive a lot of special flying privileges. I can fly any- where TWA flies for free, and I can fly first class anywhere for a very reduced rate.” The problems of flying as a non-revenue were that she could not be sure that she would get a flight, according to Martin. “Passengers get seats before I do. Then the ticket agents call me and give me any extra seats,” Martin said. “I usually fly by myself in the United States, but when I go to Europe I always fly with my dad,” Martin said. When it was crowded or there with the plane, wait, according to to wait a long time in before. One day I seven hours in At- time my dad stuck in St. Louis, and wait all night to get not get afraid when fell through because had several back up reason I’d have to the flights would no extra seats, to wait for the flight.” Charles Hammick Allen Hancock Doug Hartley Laura Hatcher Representing junior house in the Miss Sprin Valley pageant, Kathy Gant added her style ' singing “Hello.” 122 juniors John Hatfield Robert Haynes Tom Herndon Dena Hertz Buffv Higgins Gary Hill Robert Hillman Troy Hixon Michael Hoffman Mitch Hoffman Tim Holcombe Suzy Horne Hugh Howie Danielle Howie Jeffery Hudson Jerome Hudson Melony Hudson Letitia Huffstetler Yvonne Hui Shannon Humes Doug Hyatt Debbie Ikei Tabethia Irby Kenyatta Jackson Barry Jacobs Tammy Jacobs Pheobe Jamison Tammy Jeffers Valerie Jennigs Marie Johnikin Bobby Johnson Dana Johnson Eddie Johnson Norman Johnson Chelle Jones Darice Jones Gail Jones Julie Jones Melanie Jones Sally Jones Thet Joseph Amy Joye Tiffany Joye Clint Karamath Bernadette Kelly Melissa Kelly Denise Kiernan Christina Kovac Bradley Langhans Pat Lannigan Stacey Lawhorn Jeffrey Lawrence Fran Lee Michael Lee Michael Lemacks Jennifer Lester juniors 123 Vivian Lin Sylvio Lin-Justiniano Sandy Listrom Daphne Litchford Anthony Livoti Janis Lomas Tonya Inornas Claudia Lorka Dean Mabe Brenda Mack Dalemeeta Madison Brian Magargle Mike Maierle Greg Mancini Rennae Mangum Amanda Martin Gregg Martin Louise Martin Sheryl Martin Patricia Marvin Rene Matawaran Anita McBeth Rodney McCarn Andre McKelvin David McKeown Cole McKinney Jamie McKnight Sean McLean Tommy Medlin Kenion Melvin Tina Miller William Milling Laura Mills Len Mitchell Meredith Mitchell Working on the junior float, Grace Quattlebaum, Renee Brown, Katrina Temple, and Christy Cummings take a break for a snack and to goof around with friends. 124 juniors Sonia Molinary Johnny Monroe Penny Moore Trey Moore Mike Morgan Tony Morgan Jamie Morris Kathy Mosley Terry Moyer Davette Mozie Teresa Nairwood Becky Nelson Betty Nelson Loco Nelson Steve Neubaum Megan O'Connor Tammy Odom Amy Olsen Karen Osmond Noel Osterland Lee Outlaw Susan Owens Deborah Padgett Mike Palma Shelia Palmer Michelle Patrick Lisa Paul Jonathan Peake Steve Pearson Lisa Pecic Marjorie Philips Dan Phillips Rhonda Phillips Lora Podell Lori Posey She’s A Cadet For junior Kristina Bailey the Air Force Junior ROTC program meant the chance to see if she really wanted to be a fighter pilot after college. “I can’t think exactly when I decided I wanted to be a pilot, but I think it’s basically everyone’s dream to be a pilot if you’re in the ROTC. I remember the First time I went up in a helicopter. It was so exciting. I’ve flown in commer- cial planes for a long time, but this was different. Then I saw F-16’s, F-15’s, C- 130’s, the C-5 (biggest cargo plane in the world) and other helicopters.” ‘‘I’m sure it’s hard for a woman to become a pilot, and then when she does become one, she will constantly be watched and tested by others to see if she can handle it.” Approximately 30 of the 124 partici- pants in the ROTC program are girls, according to Bailey. “I think girls and guys are doing well together. Girls hold high positions, and there are many girl cadet command- ers.” ‘‘I believe people used to stereotype cadets as troublemakers and not so smart, but now they are beginning to realize that we are a well-disciplined organization and have a lot to contri- bute to the school and its image.” Bailey said that people did not treat her differently because she was in ROTC. “My friends tease me once in awhile, but I think they can appreciate what I’m doing. Some are pretty inter- ested in it.” “Being a cadet hasn’t affected guys attitude towards me. Just because I’m in the ROTC doesn’t mean I’m a tom- boy or anything. I’m still me.” Lisa Pecic juniors 125 James Prezioso Renee Price Chris Puffenbarger Brandon Pugh Brennen Pugh Grace Quattlebaum Robert Rabon Brian Raines Marshall Ransom Jamie Ray Andrea Rayle Renee Richarson Sybil Richardson Tammy Riddle Adam Roberson Beth Roberts Sean Roberts Andy Robertson Cindie Robinson Ginnv Robison Latonya Robinson Charline Rochefort Kim Anne Rodman Allison Rogers Hallie Rose Maurice Rose Jeff Ross Ix ri Ross Showing their spirit at the pep rallies, the junior class does “the wave” which first caught on this year at the Carolina games. 126 juniors Punk? Prep? She came to school dressed Prep, went to the football game Punk and spent the next day in a pair of Dingo boots and a faded T-shirt. “I dress the way I do because I don’t like to be placed in a stereotype. I dress to fit my mood, and I enjoy being differ- ent,” Molly Weiss, junior, said. Weiss says she is a punk and a prep- pie. She is a part of both groups, but puts neither over the other. “I like the back porch group because they are more willing to accept the way people are.” Weiss, who takes intensified and hon- ors courses, says she places emphasis on academics although she spends most of her time on social events. “A student has all of life to be social, but only has four years of high school during which emphasis should be placed on academics.” Weiss sees both groups as just people. “One group is labeled the preps, the other not at all. Each has its ideas and interests. Each has its place to go, and each has its own stereotype of the oth- er.” On a Friday or Saturday night, the typical prep throws on an Oxford, an argyle vest, and a pair of corduroy slacks, or maybe a pair of Guess jeans. He hops into his VW Rabbit and cruises to a friend’s house who is having a par- ty, Weiss says. According to Weiss, on that same Fri- day or Saturday night, the typical back porch person slips on an old pair of Levi’s, a Harley Davidson T-shirt, and a pair of Dingo boots. He starts his pick- up truck and heads for the drive-in or maybe the parking lot. “I am one of those who is not labeled at all because I am versatile and try to get along with everyone. Preps say that all punks do drugs, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, fight and drive dirty pick-up trucks. Punks say that all preps are rich, smart, spoiled, conceited and unfriendly. Nei- ther stereotype is true, according to Weiss. “They wear different clothes, drive different cars and go different places, but they are still people.

It keeps you in shape. It’s nice to have some- thing that you can perform for people,” Beachum said. “I really like music and different things with music. I like ballet. It moves me the most,” Wall said. Beachum and Wall take dance four days a week for one to four hours a day at Bailey Fine Arts. “I don’t get tired as easy. I’m able to stay up real late and get up early. It keeps me in shape, “Wall said. Beachum and Wall agree that they get tired of practicing. “I won’t give dancing 100 percent, and my teacher will pull me aside and tell me that I’m not concentrating,” Wall said. “I get home at 8:30 or 9 p.m. and end up staying up to 12:30 or 1 a.m. to finish homework,” Beachum said. “The first year, we were at dress re- hearsal and the stage floor was slick. I started to do my dance and I slid across the stage. I burst into tears,” Beachum said. I was doing head roll chains, and I fell down because I got dizzy,” Wall said. Beachum’s mother got her started taking dance. “She just signed me up,” Beachum said. Friends encouraged Wall to start dancing. Beachum and Wall are not sure about dancing in the future, but they do plan to attend college. “I really don’t know. I’m not going to rely on dancing. I plan to go to college. I definitely want to have another career,” Beachum said. Wall and Beachum have both thought about going to New York for the summer to dance. “I’m just playing around with it for a while. I’d like to go. I have a friend at Calvert Brodie. We hope to be on Broadway,” Wall said. “I would just like to go and see the contrast with dancers between New York and South Carolina,” Beachum said.

She held a class office every year since the sixth grade and she is an honor roll student. She is all business right? Wrong. Brandy Rucker is involved but she is known for her sense of humor and her devotion to her family. “Brandy is the craziest person I know. Every time I see her she has a new joke to tell. If you’re in a bad mood and you see her in the hall, she’ll lift your spirits,” junior Katrina Temple said. “I like to see people happy; it makes me happy. My friends have really supported me through all my campaigns and everything. 1 owe a lot to them,” Rucker said. Rucker didn’t run for an office her junior year because she wanted to lay off for a while. “I didn’t want people to get tired of me. I needed a rest just like everybody else did.” Rucker says holding a class office is a big responsi- bility. She plans to run next year because she wants her senior year to be best of all. “Four years and I will finally have worked my way to the top of the ladder. Even if I’m not elected, I want my senior year to be very special.” Although Rucker is involved as a junior, she says not being a class officer is a big change. “The hardest thing of all is to sit back and let someone else take control.” Rucker says she likes to participate in anything that goes on in her activities. Even if it is a small part she says she likes to help in any way she can. How could someone have so many things to do and still have time for grades and family? According to Rucker, family and grades are the most important things. “Family comes first. My family is my main sup- porter and I’m happy to make them proud by doing well in school. Even though I have so many clubs and responsibilities, they are secondary to my family. Rucker has a good philosophy about grades. “I find that if you listen in class you won’t have to study so much at home. If I even have a few minutes after class, I try to use that time to begin my home- work so there’s more time after school for activities.” Despite her experience with student government, Rucker would not go into politics after high school. “I want to be a veterinarian.” Jenny Matthews 130 juniors Reviewing a calling list, junior Jackie Bass and parent volunteer Helen Bailey prepare for a phone-a-thon to solicit support for the Education Foundation.

The first snake I ever caught was a five foot black snake. My parents have been used to me getting snakes. Now I have a pet boa constrictor named Barney. The snake was given as a gift from Nettles’ grandparents. They had pur- chased the snake from a biology teacher in Spartanburg, who has a lot of snakes and had to get rid of a few, according to Nettles. “Some of my friends like the idea about me having a pet snake, and some don’t. All of my neighbors are very scared. When I bring him outside, ever- ybody goes inside. My response to these problems is that if they are scared, I try to calm them down by telling them there is nothing to be afraid of. “Barney escaped his cage one time. It was when my friends were over, and I let him loose in the house. After that, I went to talk on the phone to my friend. One hour later, I remembered that he was loose in the house. Three hours later, we found him behind the couch. Barney also bit me one time when I slammed the door on his tail. The six foot, seven inch long boa con- strictor is kept in a home-made glass aquarium made of plexiglass in Nettles’ bedroom. The cage needs to be the right temperature for the snake to live, so a black light is in the cage to keep the snake from freezing. Nettles cleans the snake’s cage every two weeks. Nettles has had his pet snake for 11 months. The snake is about five years old and eats live rats and chickens. He can go three months without food and is fed every two weeks.

It was best when they had them up on the screens. He (Michael Jackson) looks better in real life. It was better than on television,” Dargan said. Dargan and her sister, senior Jen- nifer Dargan saw the Jacksons in concert October 27 at the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. “It was great. It was more like a show than a concert with the lights and fireworks. You could tell they spent a lot of money on it.” “It wasn’t like you knew what to expect. They had elaborate cos- tumes. It is just so neat to see them doing different things at the same time. Michael seems to have more energy. He put his all into the con- cert. I was hoping it would be good and it was,” Dargan said. The Jacksons wore several differ- ent outfits, all of which were covered with sequins, according to Dargan. “The outfits were really unusual. They were styles you don’t normally see. None of the stuff normally asso- ciated with Michael, like his glove and his sunglasses, were worn. The only outfit I recognized was when he wore the outfit from the Beat It vid- eo.” Michael sang the most, but his other brothers alternated between him, according to Dargan.

I got to a point where I was always depressed. It was a world of just Diana and me. She was all I lived for.” “My mom was concerned about my attitude toward things, and my brothers just thought I was crazy.” Her obsession started with a photo of Princess Diana that her brother had outlined in pen on the front of a People magazine. Barry said she just picked up the magazine and wondered who this person was standing there holding flowers. “My brother had outlined the pic- ture and it stood out to me. I didn’t know anything about Queen Eliza- beth or that she even had a son.” “I wasn’t very interested until I kept seeing Princess Diana on maga- zine covers. I just started reading about her and got kind of interested that this lady was going to be a prin- cess.” Barry said that after seeing the Royal Wedding she started collecting pictures of all sorts. “I got all the articles and pictures I could from every magazine or news- paper I saw and just started making a collage on my wall.” Barry said that everyone thought it was a fad and she would get over it. “I’ve kind of gotten over her now, but she’s still a major part of my life. I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over her.” Barry said the reason she is not quite as much into Princess Diana anymore is that one day she just real- ized that she probably would never be a princess. “This gave me the idea of maybe becoming a reporter. I think that’s probably the closest I could ever get to Princess Diana. I don’t want to be just another fan. I just want to be a friend to her and get to know her closely.” Kathy Sanders Lynnetta Payton Danny Peake Laura Peake Marty Peake Mary Peake Kris Pfachler Benard Pickett Doug Porter Kim Price Andy Prutt Doug Quattlebaum Laura Quattlebaum James Raines Alissa Ramsey Melissa Ramsey Deena Randall Howard Rosser Suzie Reamy Gayatri Reddy Joy Reed I aura Rhodarmer Rhonda Richardson Tonia Riddle Tracy Roberts Kathleen Robison Mike Rogers Bobby Ross Gregg Ross Hoyt Ross Thomas Ross Wanda Ross Samuel Rosser Scott Royster Jeff Rubin William Rugman Darrin Rust Tonys Sabb Mo Salim Amber Sanders Kathy Sanders Virginia Sanders Pat Santifort Christopher Sawyers Gina Saxton Mikki Scheeler Todd Shermbeck Angela Scott Eddie Semones Missy Sharpe Deborah Shaurette Naland Shenov Steve Shell Wendy Shelton Shannon Siman Robin Simmons Tim Simmons sophomores 141 Allen Simpson Shanda Simpson Donnie Siron Brad Smith Glenda Smith Joann Smith Karen Smith I,ari Smith Michael Smith Mike Smith Mark Snipes Robert Snipes Kevin Snow Wendy Sowell Alester Spears Leon Spencer Laura Sperry Melanie Spivey Richard Starnes Sonia Starnes Kaye Steed Sean Stenhouse Eddie Stevens Tom Stevens Rena Sul ton Boyd Summers Kevin Swatty Norman Swygert Victor Talbot Lori Tankersley Jeff Taylor Eddie Teller Scott Thomas Rodney Thompson Jennifer Tindall Dionne Tolbert Tara Tolson Blythe Tomlin Leigh Toner Brian Toney Melanie Trimble Bobby Tucker Troy Tucker Melissa Ulmer Scott Upshaw Lauren Vereen Dow Viravan Elizabeth Voges Tonya Wadden Penny Walker Debbie Allace Deborah Wallace Keri Wallace Jerome Washington John Watkins Charles Watts 142 Golfs His Game Although his parents and older brother play golf, sophomore Joel Hartwell says there was never any pressure for him to play. “They’ve influenced me a little. They kinda got me started but they never said I had to play. It’s a diffi- cult game, but I have a lot of fun and get to meet different people at tour- naments,” Hartwell said. Hartwell, who played in the state high school tournament as an eighth grader, has played seriously the last 5 years. As a 12 year old he won the state junior championship for his age group. “When I was younger, I won tour- naments by larger margins, not be- cause I was better. I had just been playing longer than most of the oth- ers. As I’ve gotten older, winning is a lot tougher because the competition is stiffer. In golf it’s not a matter of who’s better but who’s playing well that particular day,” Hartwell said. During his freshman year Hartwell won the major tournament shooting one over par for two rounds, which included a two under par round 69. Hartwell, who plays number two behind his brother says the differ- ence between them may be their age. “John’s a couple of years older, but we play pretty close. Some days he beats me, other days I beat him,” Hartwell said. Turning professional is a goal, but first Hartwell hopes to win the state tournament and earn a scholarship to a major college or university.

I’m not like a real friendly person. I keep to myself.” Guys in Columbia did not respond favorably to her hair, Cates said. “I think a lot of people think that I thought I was hot stuff. I dress different because I want to. Some people just look at me like who is she trying to impress?” Cates said that her unique style was influenced by the singers, Billy Idol and Madonna. “A lot of people say that I dress wild and punk rock. I don’t like punk music. I like hard rock — Motley Crue, Ozzie Osbourn and Accept.” Cates bought most of her clothes in Charleston, and she got her hair cut at different places. Dressing punk caused difficulties. When Cates went to the mall people stared at her, but she said she just ig- nored them. “My family didn’t cause that much trouble about my hair except they thought it looked weird, and my mom told me to calm my hair down.” Cates said that her friends did not mind her style. Cates’ best friend, freshman Leah Jones, said her hair matched Cates. Corrine’s style matches her, but not the things people say about her. A lot of people think that she’s wild, unusual and cares only about herself. “She’s always been a little unusual. When she came to my house to surprise me. I was a little shocked, but now I’m used to it. I couldn’t picutre Corrine any other way,” Jones said.

Most of them are glad to see me when I come to class. The students want to help. If I drop something, they will pick it up. Sometimes it bothers me when they ask me what is wrong, but not usually. It depends on who is asking,” Vicki said. Vicki is a freshman and attends regular classes. Spinalbifidia is a congential spinal deformity 15,000 children are born with each year in the United States. A spinalbifidia victim has an open spine which may sometimes be surgically corrected to en- able him to walk, if the deformity is caught early enough. Vicki is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of spinalbifida and was also born with dislocat- ed hips. “Doctors figured she would die anyway, so her hips were never corrected. She has already outlived her life expectancy by six years, due to having a family, being active and receiving general health care,” Bar- bara Savage, Vicki’s foster mother said. Vicki is the first Spring Valley student to use a motorized wheelchair. She says she heard about the wheelchair from a friend whose mother has one. The chair cost about $2000 and was paid for by the voca- tional Rehabiltation Center at Spring Valley. Until Vicki was seven, she lived at Midlands Cen- ter, state institution for the handicapped. For the past eight years she has lived with the Savages. “When Vicki was in Midlands Center, she had a lot of medical needs that weren’t being taken care of. She wasn’t attending any school because her intellec- tual capacity was above the others. “Taking in a foster child was a family decision. It was something the whole family wanted. We started visiting Vicki on weekends. Then we got attached. It was a little hard for the children to adjust at first, but we’ve never had any regrets,” Barbara said. Vicki says she has never met her real parents and does not know why she was placed in the Midlands Center. She says she is not very curious to know. Vicki says she wants to attend college and to be- come either a nurse or a secretary. “I would like to become a secretary because I have long fingers, but I think being a nurse would be interesting,” Vicki said. Vicki says that things would be easier if she were not handicapped, but she never felt like giving up.

I usually just joke around about my height.” Discounts on movies and eating at restaurants are advantages of being short. “At night I get into movies cheaper and at restaurants I can fake my age to get discounts.” Cohen who wears size 10-11, bought clothes in the boys department. Another advantage to Cohen’s height is being able to participate in in the fall production of the play “Sister Mary Ig- nasius.” He was small enough to por- tray a seven year old boy. “I wouldn’t have been in the play if it weren’t for my height.” Cohen is an active member of the marching band. While marching, Co- hen often got rude remarks from the stands. “When I march, I sometimes hear re- marks like, ‘Look how short he is.’” Cohen said his height did not inter- fere with playing the trumpet in the band. Although Cohen said being short did not bother him, it did have disadvan- tages. “It caused me not to participate in some sports like football and other dif- ficult things.” Cohen described himself as shy, but said he tried to make up for his height with brains. Cohen believes his height was not in- herited. “Most of my relatives didn’t start their growing until the tenth or elev- enth grade. I should start growing pret- ty soon.

When I was about 10,1 had a guy that lived around the corner from me and he had a lot of trophies. I got jealous and wanted to have a trophy of my own.” Canzater played linebacker and sec- ond string tailback for the B-squad football team. He says high school foot- ball is a lot different from middle- school football. “On the high school level there are more people involved. At middle school everything seemed to be done for fun; at high school players take things more seriously.” High school coaches are also different from middle school coaches, according to Canzater. “They seem to take more interest in what they do. They know more and they teach better. They can see things on television and game films and tell us how to do things the right way.” Canzater says his most memorable moment on the football field this year was against arch rival Richland North- east. “Their tailback came through a hole up the middle, and I hit him hard. They had to carry him off the field.” The possibility of a career past high school football is not out of reach, but it will be a hard road to success, according to Canzater. “If I work hard and do my best every game, I think I have a chance to go to college.” If he had his choice, Canzater said he would go to Purdue University. “I don’t know why, I just like that school.” Jeff Kidd Christi Sowell Rhonda Spell Kevin Spencer Reese Spivey Michael Stamper Tom Staples David Stanley Linda Starnes Susan Steck Sean Steinwedel Vince Stemp Kevin Stephan Aquanette Stephens Deborah Stinnette Laura Stullenbarger Marcie Sullivan Carolyn Suggs Michael Swetnam Andrea Talbot Luisa Taliulu Warren Talley Lori Taylor Ashley Templeton Tracy Rerrell Krissy Thomas Barbara Tobias Dennis Track Troy Tunner Sherry Turnipseed Demetrius Tvler John Uhl Mirtha Vallini Sandra Vaughn Allison Veal Tracy Vogel fresh men 157 Anagh Vora Mel vi na Wages April Wagner Theodosia Walker Tracey Walker Alan Wall Tammy Wallace Debbie Waller Branden Ward Tanya Washington Willie Washington Kevin Waters Lynette Watford Rebecca Watts Ronny Watts Lori Waxenburg Suzanne Weir Herman Weiss Curtis West Merilee Wheatley Mary Lynn Whelchel Beth White Linda Whitcomb Kirk Whitehead William Whitmire Karen Wiles J.T.

I couldn’t walk for about two weeks,” Sanders, who is a freshman, said. Sanders races twice a week during the national season. May to August, and once a week during the state season, September to November. Sanders has raced since he was 12 years old with the encouragement of his parents. “My parents have really encouraged and supported me, but after a while they got tired of it. They always had to drive me to races in Irmo every week- end, but now I can drive,” Sanders said. Sanders races in the 15 expert age group. He has raced in Georgia, Florida and North and South Carolina and has won 30 trophies with his tallest being four feet tall. “I started racing with my little broth- er, Tip, and several friends started get- ting bikes, I thought it would be fun and exciting,” Sanders said. Sanders’ first race was March 13, 1982. He took second place. Sanders has a Hutch standard 20 inch bike, which costs around $1,000. He stores the bike in his bedroom clos- et. Sanders usually races on a 1,500 foot track with a lot of obstacles. Riders race about 35 miles per hour. “Before a race I find myself checking to make sure I’m doing everything right, and once the race starts, I think about how I can pass the others,” Sand- ers said. Eight riders race at a time. Girls race on the same kind of course. “Crashing has to be the biggest dan- ger. A lot of parents won’t let their kids race. They are paranoid. I once got a pedal stuck in my shoulder. The guy behind me wrecked, and his bike flipped and the spikes on the pedal went into my shoulder,” Sanders said. Sanders wears a uniform with long pants, long sleeve shirt and full face helmet with a built on mouth guard. “I worry about David getting hurt. I have seen kids break arms and legs, but the racing trophies make it more excit- ing,” Sanders’ mother said.

Wages, whose students adopt eggs each year to learn more about socializa- tion, accidentally knocked a student’s baby out of his hands. “I felt very badly just as I would if it was a real child,” Wages said. “The eggs represent children. The students learn to take responsibility for someone besides themselves, and they get an understanding of what their own parents go through,” Wages said. W. Ben Nesbit, principal, delivered the babies to the students. “The students choose a name for both sexes, because just like in real life, they receive whatever nature gives them,” Wages said. The babies come with an official birth certificate. The hospital fee and artwork on the babies costs 20 cents. The artwork includes painting the ba- bies’ faces and hair. “The students are very proud of their babies and want the very best for them. They take the responsibility seriously. Some students keep photo albums of their children,” Wages said. The students kept daily journals of their babies. Each student recorded his baby’s words and first day at school, according to Wages. Wages has used this project for ap- proximately three years. “I was talking to my friends trying to think up a baby project and thought this was the most realistic one possi- ble,” Wages said. The parents are to care for their child’s basic needs such as love, feeding, dressing, and medical needs, according to Wages. “The parent should always find their child a babysitter when they leave them.” “I usually spend between $5-$10 for babysitters,” Wages said. “One student’s egg was kidnapped and a $10 ransom was set,” Wages said. The project gets better each year. Sometimes the students’ parents get in- volved by taking pictures of their chil- dren and their babies. The project gives students a better understanding of why the socialization process is vital to society, Wages said.

Getting into the spirit of things, guidance counselor Steve Peeples and son Reed Peeples, who attends the Little Viking Center, watch intently at the Chester pep rally. 166 If you don’t know him, you’ve prob- ably seen him in the halls and won- dered if Mr. Nesbit could really have hired him as a teacher. His untamed hair kept in place under an old dark Greek fishermen’s hat, ragged blue- jeans, matching faded jacket, mous- tache, and a cigarette leave even those who know him questioning. He’s drama teacher Jim Thigpen and his originality and free spirit may be what makes him so special to his students and the school. And ironically, he originally wanted to be a P.E. teacher. But during his sen- ior year at Furman University, a speech teacher made him try out for a play. It was then that Thigpen discovered his interest in drama, and switched his ma- jor from physical education to theatre. Jim Thigpen has now been involved in theatre for about twenty years. He has acted in about seventy-five and di- rected more than fifty productions. He has even done television related work such as advertising, education televi- sion, and has been featured on soaps such as “Ryans Hope” and “The Doc- tors.” Thigpen has been teaching at Spring Valley for six years. He finds what he most enjoys about teaching is the peo- ple. He loves to be with the students. Under Thigpen, the school has re- cieved the state championship at Win- throp three years in a row. The 1984-85 year is his last year as Spring Valley drama coach. The constant change and variety of theatre challenges Thigpen and he plans to continue his involve- ment in theatre after leaving.

Martin, an Army National Guard member, participated during July in the air ambulance medic course at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The course involved medical experience as well as physical training. “We practiced various medical proce- dures on live goats. These operations included veinal cutdowns, tracheoto- mies and chest tubes for collasped lungs. There were five or six people to a goat, and each person had to perform the operations. The operations weren’t that difficult. It was the smell that bothered me. While the goat is under anesthesia, his chest starts to expand with excess air. Sometimes the excess air built up and got released from the goat’s behind. The smell got quite dis- gusting.” The course was fast paced and a vast amount of information was covered, ac- cording to Martin. “I learned a lot about night vision, physiology of the body and the effects altitude has on the respiratory system. To study the effects of high altitude stress, we were placed in a chamber pressurized to 25,000 feet, and then we took our oxygen masks off for six min- utes. This produced a sort of high which we had to disregard. The purpose was to build our endurance and performance abilities at high altitudes,” Martin said. For one day during the course, the class had the opportunity to take the Navy Survival Test, which involved ex- periencing a simulated helicopter crash. Of the 36 people taking the course, 25 opted to take the survival test, accord- ing to Martin. “One part of the Navy Survival Test was the helicopter drop. You were seat- ed in a helicopter which was dropped 15 feet and then submerged under water. You had to find your way out of a cer- tain exit and then swim to the surface. This was particularly hard to do be- cause of the weight of your equipment. During the last drop you had to find your way out blindfolded. My heart must have been beating 150 beats a minute continuously,” Martin said. No injuries occured during the sur- vival test, according to Martin. “Sometimes people had to be pulled from the helicopter because they were taking too long, but there were no injur- ies,” Martin said. Participating in the course were 31 males and five females ranging from 20 to 40 years old. Martin passed all tests including the Navy Survival Test and finished Honor Graduate in the class. The second place student was a woman, and the five women with the exception of one finished in the top 10, according to Martin. Taking the medic course was a confi- dence builder, according to Martin. “Taking this course has increased my confidence. Mostly what I had before was a ‘textbook’ knowledge, and now that I’ve actually performed the opera- tion, I feel much more confident. If I ever had to perform a tracheotomy on a person, I could do it.” Errol Ranft Proving geometry postulates is one of the many things Barbara Leopard does as a math teacher. 168 faculty Making academics interesting, Barbara Hol- brook, ninth grade English teacher, laughs during class discussion.

The varsity baseball team went 8-12 last year. The best and worst games were against BC and LR, ac- cording to Petoskey. “The best game we played was against LR April 24. We won 11-1 at home with no er- rors and 14 hits. The game was called after five in- nings,” Petoskey said. The worst game was against BC at BC. We lost 13-3 and we had beat them earlier in the year 3-2 at home. That was really disap- pointing,” Petoskey said. Petoskey says that Lancas- ter was the hardest team to beat. Lancaster has had a JV program for 10-12 years and they won the region last year and finished second two years ago. This year Spring Valley finished fourth out of the eight teams in the region. Next year Petoskey says he hopes to have a more im- proved pitching staff and start kids on the weight pro- gram. “I hope to have the best pitching staff ever next year. We’ll probably be in a better situation (in pitching) than most teams. Three pitchers are plenty and all three are returning plus I’m looking at a few from JV. I plan to start the kids on the weight pro- gram. I think it will benefit them,” Petoskey said. Five seniors started — Johnny Fowler (DH), Steve Whitbeck (3B), Rodney Snipes (CF), Charles Poore (IB) nc1' Waa'M- '■ Petoskey says he hopes to bring a few sophomores up to varsity next year. “I’d rather see the junior varsity kids playing for ex- perience than see them watching the game from the bench, but I’d like maybe to bring a few pitchers up just in case one gets hurt that’s on our rotation,” Petoskey said. One reason for not per- forming well is not having a Junior Varsity (JV) team un- til last year, according to Varsity Coach Billy Petos- key. “We had such a large num- ber of kids who wanted to play baseball, 70, 80 and sometimes 90 kids would come out and I could only keep 18 or 19 of them,” Pe- toskey said. “Another reason for form- ing the JV team was to give kids a chance to play base- ball for the first time before getting up to varsity. Junior Neil Lacy never pitched in a game before until last year,” Petoskey said. Petoskey says he hopes that eighth graders will be able to try out for junior var- sity next year. “I would like to see some eighth graders out next year, but it would be a big problem transporting kids back and forth from middle school to Spring Valley every day five days a week.

The team did win a game. In fact, the team went undefeated in the regular season and won region and Lower State. In the first game in the best 2-3 for the state championship the Vikings beat Union 3-0, but in the sec- ond game Union won 3-1. “I was mad at myself for not winning State in two games, and I was determined to win it in three,” Burdian said. On the way to Union for the third game, the team rode on a minibus, and a group of fans followed. The two buses cheered over the CB radio back and forth. The team started a cheer and the fans would repeat the cheer. “My stomach was full of but- terflies the entire way to Union, but I enjoyed Brandy Rucker leading the cheers the entire way. This really made me ready to play,” class of 1984 Paula Matthews, left fielder, said. “Every softball player was full of excitement. Every fan and player wore bright orange price stickers to show their spir- it,” second string first baseman, Connie Boken, sophomore, said. ny Scango, class of 1984, brought the price stickers for the team and fans to wear. Ev- eryone from Spring Valley was identified by these bright or- ange strickers to show Union who was from Spring Valley. In the first inning of the game Spring Valley took the lead when Jones, Brandy Rucker, junior; and Burdian scored. “I was totally psyched up, but they stared scoring in the fourth inning. This made me more determined to get to get the game under control and win.” Burdian said. In the sixth inning Union first hit was a homerun, it was followed by a triple. Union pulled out 8-3. “After the triple and ho- merun were hit I looked at catcher Dee Dee Bishop and laughed. I felt bad about laugh- ing, but it was my way releasing pressure and disappointment,” Burdian said. “I knew there was no way to catch up, but I wanted to go out doing my best,” Burdian said. Union won the game 8-3. “After the game, everyone was in tears. I felt disappointed that we lost, but I knew that we had come a long way, and we had nothing to be ashamed of,” Matthews said. “I felt I had learned a lot of valuable lessons from the sea- son. I now knew I could accom- plish anything I set my mind to,” Burdian said. Tonya Lomas With intense concentration sophomore Liz Burdian strives for perfection.

Last year was the first year that Spring Valley has had a J.V. “We began to play good baseball at the end of the season,” Rosenfeld said. The team, which had 15 players, played Irmo, Brook- land Cayce, Lexington, Cam- den and West Florence. “Irmo was our toughest game. We were down 5-0 in the last inning. We came back and scored four runs. The game ended with the bases loaded. It was a very tough loss,” Rosenfeld said. The team’s record was 4-9. “The JV received a good deal of attention while prac- ticing with the varsity,” Ro- senfeld said. The team’s leading pitch- ers were Brad Woodall and Furman Harrison. The lead- ing batters were Woodall and Jim Raines. The best fielders were Woodall, at first base and the outfield, and Jeff Kidd at second base, accord- ing to Rosenfeld. “The experience the play- ers gain on JV makes all the difference in the world. When they go to varsity the coaches do not have to teach the skills,” Rosenfeld said. “The JV team gives great experience for when players move up to varsity. Players will know how to handle sit- uations better than a person that has not ever played high school ball,” Jeff Kidd said. “The JV had great parent support and dedicated ath- letes. We hope to get more school support next year,” Rosenfeld said.

Individual’s Game Although golf is consid- ered a team sport, it is actu- ally individual, according to John Boulware, varsity golf coach. “They practice on their own. Sometimes we have team practices, but each player has his own way of playing. There’s little for me to do other than encourage and keep them in a good mental state,” Boulware said. During the 1984 season, a player’s broken ankle, erratic play, grades and a lack of consistency resulted in a fourth place team finish in the state. Senior John Hartwell finished fifth and sophomores Joel Hartwell and Robert Dargan tied for eleventh. The team’s toughest oppo- nents were Lancaster and Irmo, according to Joel Hartwell. “Irmo is tough on their course because of its difficul- ty. That course has a lot of local knowledge to it. Lan- caster was our toughest re- gion opponent even though they didn’t beat us,” Hartwell said. Although the matches are not hard, they prepare the golf team for the state tour- nament. The 4A class is the toughest class in the state ac- cording to John Hartwell. “North Augusta, Spartan- burg and Greenwood fin- ished ahead of us in the state tournament and probably will be good this year. It’s tough because we don’t face tough competition during the season so when state comes around I don’t take it seriously enough. Maybe that’s not true, but we were better than our fourth place finish,” John Hartwell said. Golf is demanding mental- ly. The physical part is fit- ness. Some of the players are involved in other sports which shows their durabil- ity,” Boulware said. Although golf is a minor sport, it has achieved great success, according to John Hartwell. “We’re the power in our region and S.V. has won the state championship in the last 12 years more than any other school. 1985 could be another title. John Hartwell Golf members are (row 1) P.J. Farmer. Matt Buffum. Sean Snipes, Brett Bellino; (row 2) Coach John Boulware, Dave Dolge. Allen Hancock, Chris Adkins, John Hartwell, Todd Fuller and Joel Hartwell. “I feel as though I’ve been playing for a hundred years,” claims John Hartwell who has been lettered for four years. He admits, “I was going to play baseball, but I can achieve my individual goals with golf.” Coach Boulware comments that John Hartwell is the backbone of our team” and one of their number one players. 178 golf Sophomore Joel Hartwell is “dedicated, hard- working. and intense,” says coach Boulware. He adds that Joel and John are “two of the best in the state.” Practicing at the Woodlands, sophomore Sean Snipes works on his game. Observing their teammates’ shots are Matt Buf- fum and Brett Bellino, who enjoy playing golf and always demonstrate a positive attitude, ac- cording to their coach. Practicing 8-12 hours a week. Alan Hancock “shows a lot of promise and could be one of our top players,” explains Coach Boulware. Coach Boulware. who has coached the golf team for four years, compares golf to all individual sports. “It gives people the opportunity to develop and display their talents. You learn to handle the bad days.” golf 179 He Psyches Them At 6 p.m. the football team files into the locker room and uniforms are issued. At 6:30 p.m. the team breaks up into offensive and defensive groups. At 7:10 p.m., a team meet- ing takes place, and head coach Jerry Brown makes his locker room speech. “I talk from the heart. I talk about the things I need to point out and about the things we need to improve. If I have nothing to say then I don’t. If I have 30 seconds worth of talk, then I talk 30 seconds,” Brown said. Coaches should be them- selves when giving locker room speeches, according to Brown. “For some coaches it may be effective to get emotional. If they do it and act fake though, then the players will be able to tell. Whatever works for each coach to get a point across is what he should use,” Brown said. Brown says the impor- tance of his speech depends on the players’ attitude. “The speeches are made effective by the kid’s mental intensity. Also, to be sincere about what you say makes a good talk. I’m serious in my talks, but I’m also emotion- al,” Brown said. The talks get the players psyched up for the games, ac- cording to senior Andy My- lander. “Coach Brown gets the team mentally prepared, but when Coach Bonneville takes the defense back he gets us fired up,” Mylander said. The coaches use different approaches for different games, according to senior Johnny Robertson. “During the Lexington game Coach Bonneville tried to get us mad. The coaches overall really get us fired up,” Robertson said. Mental discipline requires self-confidence, according to Brown. The Varsity football team members are (row 1) Ben McCollum.

They have to get their minds fo- cused on the game. All men- tal thoughts have to be on every play. You have to think you’re the best, you’re going to win and that’s all,” Brown said. The talks help players to prepare emotionally and mentally, according to Brown. “You have to be mentally prepared for four quarters of play just like preparing for a test. We also review what we have to expect for a game. The emotional preparation covers what should take place during a game. Emo- tional, spiritual and psycho- logical preparation has a purpose for the team. It is very vital to let them know what they should do as a team,” Brown said. Some of the players are emotional, some are quiet and some do not know how to act, according to Brown. “The reason is some of the players are mature and some are immature. It is hard for 15, 16, and 17 year olds to realize what complete men- tal discipline is,” Brown said. The mood in the locker room after Brown talks de- pends on the game. The score of the game can almost be predicted by the way the team acts after the talk, ac- cording to Mylander. “You talk about the game instead of what’s going on after the game. After the game in the locker room if we win, nothing compares to the great feeling. If we lose, we just have to start getting ready for next week and to be more determined to win,” Mylander said. In the locker room after the game, the team discusses what went wrong during the game, according to Brown. “I try to point out the posi- tive things, artd I also talk about the weaknesses. We go over things we need to im- prove and what we can do to improve them. If there is a let down in the third quarter, we talk about it and see what happened. Then we refer back to what we discussed before the game and see if we executed it,” Brown said.

The junior varsity football team season ended with a 4-5 record and won three of its last four games, including a shutout victory over Rich- land Northeast. “Beating Richland North- east had to be the high point of the year. They are our really big rivals and beating them always meant a lot,” Stephen West, sophomore player, said. Despite winning three of its last four games, the team’s losing record was a disappointment to the play- ers. “Going 4-5 when we should have done better was pretty bad. Most everyone expected a winning season and moving up and losing wasn’t expected,” David Jol- ly, sophomore player, said. “The season was a strug- gle,” Eddie Semones, sopho- more player, said. “It was different for everyone to be practicing with the varsity. It was a tough season,” Se- mones said. The players were playing under a new system and a new coach, Jolly said. “These guys were 30 out of the most devoted players who went out on the field. They got out there and really went for it. They love to play the game,” Jolly said. “We weren’t big or talent- ed, but everyone pulled to- gether and got the job done,” Semones said. “The team was deter- mined. We started losing some in the middle, but we hung tough and came back strong,” West said. “The season all in all was sort of disappointing but re- warding. We learned a lot and will do better in the fu- ture,” Jolly said.

I was real happy with the sea- son. I was also pleased with the coach’s performance. Coach Hunter, Coach Jones, and Coach Owens all did a tremendous job.” Freshman Brian Canary agreed about coaching. “The coaches probably are what made our season successful. They worked us hard and saw who wanted to play,” Canary said. The B-squad team, which finished the year at 6-3, was made up of not the most tal- ented athletes, but some of the most enthusiastic indivi- duals, according to freshmen John Uhl. “We weren’t a great team with a lot of talent, but we had a lot of enthusiasm and hustled a lot,” Uhl said. “The one thing that stuck out about their team and separates them from other teams I have had was that we could play a lot of people who didn’t start the game and have confidence that they could do the job,” Inter- mill said. For Intermill the high point came when the Vikings beat Richland Northeast. “That’s always the high point for me,” Intermill said. The high point of the sea- son for Canary was when the team beat Camden at Spring Valley. “We had a lot of starters out on offense, and we ended up scoring three touchdowns and winning 20-7,” Canary said. Success, enthusiasm, hus- tle, hard work, describe the “B” Squad according to In- termill.

I may not remember getting a big trophy, but I will re- member that we gave it our best and will be ready for next year,” Leigh Sauls, freshman, said. The team lost all but one starter from the 1983-84 team. “Since we lost five starters, it was hard coming back and playing with five new people. It was hard keeping my pa- tience when I knew they wouldn’t be as good,” junior Julie Jones, who started last year, said. Spirit, confidence, and ex- perience are vital to have a winning team, according to Jones. “The year was not at all a lost year. The team gained needed experience, and will be more than ready for next season,” Jones said. The team members say the year was special for them. “Before every game and dur- ing every time-out, Brandy Rucker always told jokes to get the team going. I’ll never forget that,” Jones said. “The things I remember most are Star Overton’s dif- ferent colored hair and the way she fixed it before every serve, and I’ll remember Phoebe Jamison always lis- tening to Prince to get ready,” Savage said.

Mo Salim hits a strong forehand. Tennis, unlike other sports such as football, wrestling, and baseball, is not played in one season. The varsity men’s tennis team assembles each year at the beginning of the high school season already having served, volleyed and ground- stroked thousands of tennis balls during the year. The reason? High school tennis is a small part of the overall ten- nis year for most members of the team. It is actually a chance to relax and try to improve weakness, according to Roger Lawsin, varsity player. “The school season helps me a lot by preparing me for the summer circuit. I think the season gets the entire team more or less tourna- ment-tough by the time the summer tournaments come,” Lawsin said. Tennis is a game of both mental and physical stress. During practices and match- es, players may play for as long as two to three hours. The stress on the body from the hard courts and the shock from serving a ball in excess of often more than 70 mph commonly results in in- jury. The strain of pushing one’s self for hours a day commonly results in “burn- out,” mental exhaustion. So why do players keep play- ing? “I don’t know what it is about tennis. Once you start you just can’t quit. I’ve in- jured my back, both my shoulders and my wrists re- peatedly. My knees are screwed up from banging on the hard courts all day. I’ve considered quitting tennis lots of times, but I could just never bring myself to do it. It’s as if the racquet has a magnetic attraction to my hand,” Mo Salim, varsity tennis player said. A good tennis game re- quires constant nurturing and attention. “Your game is like a child trying to walk. You have to encourage it and help it im- prove. You have to commit yourself. I sacrifice for my game. A lot of times, on weekends and evenings while my friends are out partying or whatever, I’m on the courts practicing until late. I guess my social life takes a beating for my tennis,” said Salim. Colleges don’t look at ten- nis players in high school competition for scholarships, the school season does not help player’s state rankings, and Spring Valley has no tennis facilities as most school do. The men’s and women’s tennis teams prac- tice at Parklane Tennis Cen- ter, so why do they play high school tennis? The answer is team support, according to Salim. “All year you play against guys. Mostly nobody cares if you win or lose. That can be a source of a lot of pressure. When you play for a team it’s nice to have friends yelling at you to win.

The loss may have ended the streak but not the suc- cess, according to girls tennis coach, Greg 0wings. “We have a good team this year. We should be strong, but we must improve be- cause we do have a young team,” Owings said. The tennis team, 10-1, sus- tained its only defeat to Richland Northeast (RN), 4- 1, September 20 to the end the consecutive winning streak at 66 matches dating back to 1980. The streak is the state record for consecu- tive wins, breaking the old record of 56 by Christ Church of Greenville. Ow- ings says some of the pres- sure may be off now. The girls were very disap- pointed about the loss to RN, but it relieved a lot of pres- sure. The record is some- thing we’ve been proud of, but it’s hard for the girls to go out and play knowing they might lose and break the record. Now that it is gone, I’m hoping we can think more about improving and less about keeping the record going,” Owings said. Sophomore Cathy O’Far- rell, who plays number three singles, says there was pres- sure to win. “I was under a lot of pres- sure as the match was going on. I didn’t know we were losing, but it was up to us to keep the record going,” O’Farrell said. The loss was especially tough because it was to RN, according to Renee Price who plays number one dou- bles. “It was tough because we lost the record and we lost to Northeast. We hadn’t lost to them since 1980 and we’re not going to lose to them again. They’d better watch out because we’re going to get them next year,” Price said. Now that the streak is broken, the girls must con- centrate on the remainder of the year, according to Ow- ings. “We have several matches left, one being with North- east, so we must think ahead and forget about the past. Al- though we did lose, we still have a chance to be region champs, but we have to beat RN,” Owings said. Owings, who is in his sixth year as coach, says he has been fortunate to have tal- ented players. There are only two seniors on this team, so I look for us to be strong in the future because we will have some playing experience,” Owings said.

I’m really put- ting a lot of emphasis on de- fense and taking charges in the game.” David Poole, boys’ basketball coach said. Junior Curtis Evans says defense is most important. “Defense is pretty much the key to the game. You can have an off night on offense and win but not on defense. You always have to have a good defense,” Evans said. Poole says T-shirts were ordered for the players. The Department of Defense will be printed on the front, and a Mastercharge card will be printed on the back. The bleachers below the canteen will be open for peo- ple to sit, but they must have a Mastercharge card every- time a player takes a charge, according to Poole. Poole says he was con- cerned about how the team would do. “We didn’t have any start- ers returning or much exper- ience except for senior Ray- mond Jeter and one of last year’s starters who got in a little trouble at school, but I’m happy with our play.” Poole agrees with the aca- demic standards a player has to meet to participate in high school and college sports. ‘T agree with them. They’re getting tougher for high school kids as well as the National Collegiate Ath- letic Association. In high school a student must pass four required classes, and for freshmen and sophomores that’s almost all the classes.

He doesn’t need more academics.” Poole says he got into coaching while attending Clemson. “I played for Clemson for four years and coached one year as a graduate assistant. I then came to Spring Valley to teach, and at that time there was an opening. I know Coach Lee Koty real well, and he asked me if I would like to coach.” “Over the four years at Spring Valley I think I im- proved as a coach by getting more enthusiastic because players usually follow suit. I think I’ve improved on little things that make the differ- ence,” Poole said. The overall attitude of the team has improved since it began practice, according to Poole. “I think the intensity of the team has improved greatly. I just don’t let them walk around. One day they (players) came to practice not holding their heads very high. I told all of them just to go home.” Evans says selfishness caused the team to lose in the beginning. ‘‘We weren’t playing as a team. Everybody was reach- ing for his own goals, and we’ve all realized that will not win games. I think we need to do a little more de- veloping as a team,” Evans said. The balance of the team’s scoring is something Poole says he likes. We have about 10 people scoring every game. I would like for some of the seniors to take over the leadership re- sponsibilities.” Evans says Poole is a good coach as far as academics and attitude. “I knew that we had a good team, but I also knew the other teams were just as tough,” Evans said. Evans says he hopes the team will do well at the end of the season. “I hope that we can accom- plish a very good record and a high ranking in the re- gion,” Evans said.

Cunningham, who was named head coach July 17 following coach Greg John- ston’s resignation July 5, says he has a tough act to follow. “It’s going to be a rebuild- ing year, but they can be as good as they want to be. An- ytime you lose two All- Americans and a four year starter in the same year, it’s going to be a difficult task,” Cunningham said. Inexperience showed through the first three games as the Lady Vikings have de- feated only Brookland- Cayce and have fallen to Irmo twice. Cunningham, a 1972 Spring Valley graduate, was named all-area and all-state for the Vikings. He is also one of the top five all-time scorers and holds a Spring Valley record for most points scored in a quarter, 19. He was a four year starter at Er- skine College, where he was named all-district three of four years. He is the second highest scorer in Erskine his- tory and holds the record for playing in 146 consecutive games, never missing a game in his four year career. Cunningham’s highest honor was being named to Who’s Who in American Athletics in 1974. In his sophomore year in college Erskine won the district and a chance to play in NAIA playoffs, where the team lost in the first round to Ken- tucky State. Cunningham, who is five feet 10 inches tall, says it was his ability to jump and his quickness along with his bas- ketball skills that allowed him to be successful. “Being able to jump was an element of surprise. It helped me to do things that I might not ordinarily be able to do. I had to play harder to Girls’ varsity basketball members are Shonda Simpson, Deanne Jones, Julie Jones, Renee Brown; (row 2) Coach Bobby Cunningham, Tara Griffin, Karen Chavis, Pat Santifort, Coach Richard Cannon, Roz Evans, Tracy Chavis, Monica Bookard and Tonya Lomas. Jumping high was sophomore Shanda Simpson who got the offensive tip against Lancaster. 198 girls varsity basketball Working to stop a Lancaster score was junior Renee Brown. Lady Vi- kings won in double overtime, 60-52. Brown said, “Coach Cunningham always says we’re still in there even if we’re really far behind. During time out, Coach Cunning- ham reminds players, “No stupid fouls,” sophomore Shanda Simpson said. Simpson, senior Monica Boo- kard, junior Julie Jones and Coach Cunningham planned the strategy for the game. f Aiming for perfection, freshman Ro- salyn Evans pulled up with a soft touch to add two more points to the scoring drive. The Vikings overran Lancaster in double overtime, 60-52. “Boxing out’’ is the key to rebound- ing. Junior Julie Jones pulled down a defensive rebound. girls varsity basketball 199 Rebuilding win, but being able to jump helped. It was a gift I had, and I took advantage of it,” Cunningham said. Cunningham, who coached the boys junior varsity for three years before being named girls coach, says coaches are important to a player’s success. “I was fortunate to have two outstanding coaches in high school and college, Lee Koty and Ron Meyer. I was able to learn so much from them,” Cunningham said. Some of Cunningham’s coaching style comes from Koty and Meyer. ‘‘Coach Koty was a very good defensive coach, and Coach Meyer was good all around. My philosophy will be the same as it has been the last three years. I’ll stress consistency on defense and team work. Offense is a lux- ury. This year we can’t af- ford to do what Coach John- ston did. He had the talent to outscore opponents, and we’re not going to be that strong.” Working as a team will mean playing the entire bench, according to Cun- ningham. Junior guard Julie Jones agrees with Cunning- ham. ‘‘Last year we just sat back and let them (graduates Lo- lita Lyles, Angela Dunn and Rosie Carlton) play. We can’t do that this year. We have to work as a team.” Confidence in the new coach is high according to Jones. “I’m impressed that he started early. September 10 was his starting day for those interested. He is also work- ing with basketball -fulltime (Johnston coached foot- ball),” Jones said. Cunningham has started the girls on a weight and con- ditioning program. He also plans to use football coach Jerry Brown’s nutrition pro- gram. “For us to be competitive, the need for conditioning is important, plus with my style of basketball its extra important. I was very im- pressed with Coach Brown’s program and the develop- ment of his players.” Cunningham says the girls’ coaching job is an ex- cellent opportunity for him. “This gives me the chance to start my own program. This year is definitely a re- building year, but the girls will do well. It’s a chance to carry a winning tradition. Being head coach really ex- cites me.” John Hartwell Girls’ JV basketball team members were (row 1) Amy Lomas, Suzanne Marshall, Kim Hummel; (row 2) Coach Richard Connor, Connie Boken, Julia Crosby, I eigh Sauls and Sabrina Samuels. Fighting to regain possession of the ball were freshmen Amy Lomas and Suzanne Marshall.

Never Done Before Captain of the soccer team and center halfback, senior Jeff Jeffers excels in every game. While playing Eau Claire, Jeffers passes the ball and aids in the Vikings victory. This year’s soccer team should be a lot better than last year’s and has a good chance of taking the region, according to John Boulware, soccer coach. “We have a lot of seniors and lettermen coming back. The players are faster, more skillful and experienced. We also have two new junior members, Scott Wintzer from Virginia and Dave Cowan from Illinois, who have contributed a lot to the team. It’s going to take a lot, but I think we have an equal or better chance than anyone else to take the region,’’ Boulware said. Of 51 boys who tried out, 11 were cut. The junior varsi- ty and varsity combined con- sist of 40 boys, according to Boulware. “To tell the boys that they are cut is the most unpleas- ant part of sports. I had to reduce the number of players because I can’t have so many boys coming out to practice and not being able to play,” Boulware said. Practice is every afternoon from 3:45-5:30 p.m., accord- ing to Stan Gardner, junior. “In practice we work hard. Everyone runs a lot to get in shape. We do drills then di- vide up into teams and scrimmage each other,” Gardner said. The season started at 4 p.m. December 4 with a win over C.A. Johnson. The team plays 17 games during the regular season, according to Boulware. “Offensively, we are better this year. We have more fire power. Guys are playing who have the ability to score. On defense all the people who started last year are starting this year. Overall, we are bet- ter.

One of the problems in the game said team member Brett Boulware was that we just couldn’t get the ball in the net. And freshman Mike Madden added, “There was good team communication though.” Ultradedication said. Bell says even though soc- cer is not as disciplined as football, after every practice everybody feels like they have accomplished some- thing. A player does not have to be big to play soccer, he just needs to be a good ath- lete and needs to have skill. Soccer is not a big sport at Spring Valley and not many fans come to the soccer games except a few loyal par- ents and students, but the dedicated players on the team do not play for fans but play for themselves, accord- ing to Boulware. “I’m not sure if soccer can be made more popular at Spring Valley right now. The ones who play and enjoy it are ultradedicated. The ones who don’t understand soccer find it boring and don’t want to associate with it. People need to understand it to have growth in spectators, and that still might be a few years off,” Boulware said. “We’ll only win this year because of the good players, not because of the coach. I try to put them in the right positions, and I give them any direction I can. I am not a dictatorial coach. I like to have enough input from players to make them feel like a strong part of it. It’s their team. They are very hard working and mature young men. I’m looking for- ward to a great year mainly because they are true ama- teur athletes.” Boulware said. Rebecca Humphries and Stuart Dargan Second year players Inky Pak and Jeff Rubin worked together to push the ball toward the goal in the RNE game. Pak said, “We should have won the game. We played a lot bet- ter in overtime than in the rest of the game. The game went into dou- ble overtime. 204 j.v. soccer Keeping the ball in complete control is a must when playing soccer. Sec- ond year player sophomore Jeff Ru- bin did his best to keep the ball away from his opponent in the game against RNE. Teammate Chris Mc- Donald said, “We played defense the whole game; they played of- fense.” The final score was 0-0, the only tie of the season. Trying to get control of the ball was Damon Creech, freshman. Creech has played soccer since he was eight years old. j.v. soccer 205 Backing the J.V. Cheerleaders all the way. manent Heather Poyner is an addition to the squad. A Team I was tired from cheering. I looked up at the student body and hoped they’d get quiet soon. It was our last pep rally and we were wait- ing to sing the alma mater. As we waited, I dropped my hands and looked up at the freshman and sophomore cheerleaders. I could remem- ber being way up there and humming the alma mater be- cause I didn’t know the words. I remembered cheer- ing to small crowds of foot- ball parents and wandering through giant halls. It seemed like yesterday when I was in their place. I looked up and spotted a few fellow varsity cheer- leaders. I noticed the juniors. I remembered last year at the last pep rally, thinking anxiously about being a sen- ior. Our varsity squad had become so close since that first day of practice and the fight we had over what color our uniform would be. The juniors wanted green, the seniors wanted white and somebody wanted gold. I thought about camp. Through the long hours and hard work, camp always brings a squad together. It was the first time we worked on new cheers and success- fully built pyramids. In Au- gust, we had all done our part preparing for Sports-a- rama, pleading with busin- esses to advertise Sports-a- rama on their marquis, prac- ticing cheers, and creating a scrapbook. Finally, the first football game arrived, bring- ing much enthusiasm. We were so excited about cheer- ing together. Suddenly, the band inter- rupted my thoughts and be- gan the alma mater. It was our last pep rally as a squad, but we had made it. We were a “team”. Dina Pitts J.V.

On a bad day, the crowd is half that size. Senior Jeff Bell, who plays soccer, says that the support for all winter sports com- bined does not equal half the support the football team got. At soccer games, Bell says the team is lucky if 20 people attend a game. “No one even knows about our matches. No schedules are posted any where. We need to advertise our match- es more. We need more rec- ognition, and with an- nouncements and posters, it might help. The cheerleaders wouldn’t hurt either,” Fuller said. “The main reasons that winter sports are not sup- ported are a lack of publicity for the games and a general lack of interest, according to senior Andrew Fuller, wres- tler; junior Stan Gardner, soccer player; and senior Dina Pitts, varsity cheer- leader. “No one gets into winter sports, and I’m not sure why. Wrestling, soccer and even basketball don’t draw much support. Students initially think of them as dull sports and that’s sad,” Pitts said. A large crowd affects the players and cheerleaders, ac- cording to Gardner, Bagley, Pitts and Fuller. “If there’s a rowdy crowd at a basketball game, the player can get himself psyched up much easier, and this gives the players much more energy. This rowdiness also intimidates the oppos- ing team and causes them to break down,” Bagley said. “Well since a cheerleader’s entire purpose is to boost spirit and support behind the teams, the lack of a large turnout doesn’t help,” Pitts said. “When there’s a crowd and they get up, yell and scream, it’s fun. When they yell, it makes me want to work harder and gives me an extra lift. Support is great,” Fuller said. Cheerleaders decided to split their season this year between basketball and wrestling. “WTe even cheered the soc- cer team on to region cham- pionship,” said Pitts. Erin Thigpen.

Spring Valley used to be a power- house, as far as girls’ track was concerned, in the middle to late 1970’s. I was brought over here to specifically help rebuild the girls’ track pro- gram. My main objective was getting as many girls as pos- sible involved with the team. We went from 12 girls in 1983 to 38 in 1984. I guess you could call it a rebuilding year as far as participation goes,” Lempesis said. The team began practice around the first of February. The team members lifted weights in the new weight room and practiced their in- dividual events. The first meet of the season was March 20 against Lugoff-El- gin. Boys’ track and girls’ track are not that different, ac- cording to Lempesis. “The two groups do basi- cally the same things. The only major differences are that girls don’t pole vault and in one of the hurdle events the boys run 10 me- ters further,” Lempesis said. Events that the girls com- pete in are long jump, discus and shot putt, 3200 meter run, 1800 meter run, 800 me- ter run, 200 meter run, 100 and 300 meter hurdles, high jump, triple jump, 100 meter dash and the 400 meter and mile relays, according to Lempesis. “I feel we have the poten- tial to be a lot stronger this next year. We should be in contention for the region ti- tle. We plan to have a lot of cross-country girls running track for us. They should really help us out,” Lempesis said. by Mike Palma Girls’ track team for ’83-’84 included (row 1) Lavetta Geiger, Dow Viravan, Teisha Brown, Star Overton, Angie Boyd; (row 2) Phoebe Jamison, Dianne Phillips, Ann Gill, Ix co Nelson, Coach Lempesis, Tara McRant, Debbie Dow; (row 3) Mona Hennogan, Michelle Horton, Brenda Snow, Patricia Marvin, Susan Goiser, Jillian Lovestick; (row 4) Chanda Garnet, Megan O’Connor, Julie Ranboy, Ronica Johnson; (row 5) Danielle Mozie, Claudia Claibourne, Shannon Haseldon, Gayatri Reddy, Letita Harrison, and Sheila Palmer.

Girls Track 211 Never Say Die Extreme dedication and a big heart are two qualities which make the wrestling team members good wres- tlers, according to Jim Bonneville, head coach. “Wrestling is very unique since it is both a team and an individual sport. The kids have to be dedicated to cut their weight and push them- selves to the absolute limit of physical condition. We also have a great deal of leader- ship qualities. A lot of my wrestlers have done well in military colleges,” Bonne- ville said. Bonneville says he began coaching wrestling 14 years ago at Goose Creek in Charleston. He came to Spring Valley in 1978. “I basically got started when wrestling programs first got started near Charleston.” Bonneville says his philos- ophy on wrestling is working hard and having fun. “I teach pride and that the team members should say we instead of I. This way they help each other and are in- volved with each other. I also teach a never say die atti- tude.” A meeting prior to football season invited students to come out for wrestling. Four weeks ago community volun- teer Tom Bates came to work out the wrestlers who were not playing football while Coach Noah Dixon and Bonneville were still in- volved with football, accord- ing to Bonneville. “Tom comes out everyday without pay as more of a community service. He real- ly helped give us a little jump and an edge. I usually never cut wrestlers. They usually weed themselves out if they don’t like the hard practice or physical contact of the sport.” Forty-three guys came out for wrestling compared to the 23 who were on the team last year, according to Bonneville. “I thing the higher interest was partly due to the fact that wrestling gained a lot of exposure in the Olympics. Having a winning team and doing well in the region also helped. Athletes enjoy a pro- gram where they can work and still have fun.” Diane Spitzer Wrestling Members are: (row 1) Jav Rucker, Sean Fink.

Approximately 50 people were on the team. The record was 7-3, which was an im- provement over the year be- fore. Track is extremely varied, which is good because it of- fers something for every- body, Jones said. Some players started prac- ticing in early January. Offi- cial practice began after first semester grades came out. Practices were Monday-Fri- day 3:30-6:00 and during Spring break. Sometimes practice was on Saturday also. The first meet was dur- ing the second week of March, according to Jones. Track has 16 different events so at practice there are 16 little practices going on during one big practice. Everybody has to practice their event, according to Jones. Our strongest events were distance and pole vaulting because we had a strong cross country team. Elpidio Lin- Justiniano, senior, did what I had hoped he would. He did a super job. The team did what I expected they would in the regular season and re- gion, but I had hoped to have more people go to state.” Jones said. Stuart Dargan Boys’ track team members and coaches for ’83-’84 included (row 1) assistant coach Rick Crumpler, Billy Marvin, Ken Tribble, Coley Harmon, Jeff Dailey, Decon Doxie, Donnie Duber, head coach John W. Jones; (row 2) Brian Settle, Kent Broome, Wayne Neal, Chris Haney, Willie Frierson, James Carpenter, Aylan Brown, James Prezioso; (row 3) Andy Fletcher, Dan Hernandez, Andre Blanding, Mark Hayes, Larry Sharpe; (row 4) Andy Mylander, Joe Bramlette, Pat O’Connor, assistant coach Bobby Cunningham, Elpidio Lin-Justiniano, Ricky Tucker, Will Sarvis, and Bobby Yawn. 214 Boy’s Track Involved in track since his freshman year, Ken Tribble is proudest of the track letter he earned by finishing first in the 30 meter hurdles. Concentrating on their run, Pat O’Connor and Dennis Humphries find the energy for their last stretch. “The track team was very strong this year,” commented Coach Jones. Having coached Spring Valley Boys track for four years. Coach Jones says he enjoys his job. “If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be doing it.” Boy’s Track 215 Breaking his personal record in the discus by six feet, Andy Mylander’s proudest moment was throwing 123 feet during a region meet. Setting goals for the season was important to ju- nior Jeff Dailey. Jeff commented that reaching his goal of jumping 15 feet in the long jump was, “small for standards, but big for me.” Resting after a tiresome workout Coley Harmon, James Carpenter, Willie Frierson, Decon Doxie, and Malverce Clinton catch their breath. The track team usually practices everyday after school for 2Vj hours. Track cross country coach John Jones says he prepares his runners for a meet in advance by teaching them to be responsible for their own warm ups and workouts so on the day of a meet it is their show. Let’s Make A Deal Cross Country coach John Jones played let’s make a deal and sometimes the re- ward was Gatorade and sometimes it was another lap. At the end of practice, Jones told his runners that if a certain number of them ran a certain distance in a certain time, he would give them Ga- torade at the next meet. If they didn’t, he gave them an- other lap. “They hated my deals be- cause they didn’t know whether they were going to win or lose, but they would kill for Gatorade,” Jones said. Mutual respect and friend- ship were the basis for the success of the team, accord- ing to Jones. Jones set the standards for his runners, but the runners were the ones who had to do the work and give it to him. “When I asked them to give me a 12-mile day or to give up their weekend for a meet, they gave it to me. It was a two-fold set up. I set the standards, and they gave it to me. All of the honor and glory was theirs.” “Cross country was not the ‘in’ thing in high school. We sure would like to have had people come out and support us because the kids got ex- cited having people watch them. We did things like run before the homecoming game to raise interest. We also tried to arrange the events so they were more convenient for the students.” The top seven runners were senior Ned Appen- zeller, junior Lewis Clark, sophomore Dennis Humph- ries, freshman David Winde, sophomore Mark Woodham and junior Doug Sholly. Diane Spitzer Boys’ cross country team members are (row 1) John Jones, Steve Wilson, Lawrence Beckham. Mark Woodahm, Chris Haney. David Winde; (row 2) Ned Appenzeller, Pat O’Connor, Jay Glasscott, Chris Cusack, Jeff Fritz, Lewis Clark, Jarrett Kein and Dennis Humphries. Exhausted after his race, sophomore Dennis Humphries watches his team- mate go for another victory. 216 Boys X-Country Taking a break after a long run is is junior runner number three Lewis Clark. Completing his race is senior Ned Appen- zeller, runner number one on the team. Boys X-Country 217 Running To The Top To beat the heat, Susan Goiser, Suzanne Weir and Pam Legrande use ice to cool down after a hard day’s practice. Spring Valley girls’ cross country, never known for having many runners, has a record-breaking 25 members on its roster this year. “Probably the main reason for the large number of girls coming out for cross country this year was the Olympics. The girls watched runners like Mary Decker and now want to compete them- selves,” coach Catherine Lempesis said. Lempesis also attributed the growing increase of inter- est in cross country to the support of the other coaches, faculty and principal W. Ben Nesbit. Spring Valley’s new Spanish teacher Sue McClam voluntarily assists with the practices and meets. “When another coach sees a runner who has potential or who is interested in com- ing out for the team, he will let me know so I can get in touch with that person. Mr. Nesbit is very supportive of all girls’ athletics which is good because most principals are not,” Lempesis said. Recruiting for the team began last year and during the summer, according to Lempesis. “I went to E.L. Wright and Hanberry to talk to the in- terested young girls. We also had a meeting at Spring Val- ley. Over the summer, I sent a personal letter to each girl telling them what to expect from the team,” Lempesis said. The increase in team members has increased the quality of the team, accord- ing to Lempesis. “Before, if a top runner got hurt, we only had a few qualified people to replace her, but now we have a larger amount of adequate runners to fill the spot. The girls have more competition be- cause the top seven can change each week,” Lempe- sis said. Lempesis came to Spring Valley in 1982 at a time when only three girls com- posed the entire team. “They’ve come a long way. We are building a winning tradition which Spring Val- ley hasn’t had in five or six years. There wasn’t much of a program at all when I came here,” Lempesis said. The team’s goals, were to have a winning season, to win the region meet and to be in the top three in the state, according to Lempesis. Cross-country girls included (row 1) Tracy Sawyer, Christine Sholly, Bunny Lempesis, Susan Goiser, Megan O’Connor, Shannon Canter, Pam LeGrande, Heather Roof; (row 2) Laura Quattlebaum, Lori Taylor, Meg Kinder, Su- zanne Weir, Shannon Scruggs, Cathy Ellis, Kata Chillag, Gayatri Reddy, coach Catherine Lempesis; (row 3) Catherine Brooks, Burgin Bauer, Kwan Henderson, Suzanne Brooks, and Martita Vallini. Nearing the finish, freshman Mar- tita Vallini runs her last leg against RNE. The cross country team went on to win the region competition. On the trail, Christian Sholly makes her way to the finish. 218 Girl’s Cross Country Running the mile, freshman Shannon Canter, sophomore Laura Quattle- baum, and assistant coach Sue McClam make their way through a day’s prac- tice. Spring Valley’s first night meet was the scene as Megan O’Connor, Chris Haney, coach Lempesis and Margaret Snyder wait anxiously at the finish to finalize their victory over RNE.

Organizations Divider 223 It’s A Tradition From the very first day of rook- ie practice, band director Bill Con- nell told band members to “hold your head up and be proud of your organization.” The band went on to place sec- ond in the Capital City Classics competition and first in the Geor- gia Tournament of Bands and re- ceived superior ratings at the State A AAA Festival and the State Fair Competition. The year began at Maryville, Tennessee, August 5-11. At camp, the freshmen, for the first time, experienced 6 a.m. marches in the rain. “If you don’t roll your steps, I’m going to take my big foot and stick it up your little butts,” Connell would say. On September 29, the band went to its first competition, the Capital City Classics in Memorial Stadium. The band received the best drumline award and second place overall. At the Georgia Tournament of Bands, the band received awards for superior drumline, hornline, rifle lines, flag line and drum ma- jor, and best in class for drumline, drum majors, marching and music and horn line. In addition they re- Overjoyed during a class practice, junior Michael I.emacks, concentrates on his director.

In 1983, the band won the State Marching Competition, but the State competition was changed to a festival so that the bands will only receive ratings, not places. Two weeks after the Georgia Tournament of Bands, the band marched at home at the State Fes- tival and received a superior rat- ing. Three days after the State Fes- tival, bands from across the state marched at Williams Brice Stadi- um in the State Fair competition. In the first awards presented the Spring Valley band received a su- perior rating. Next, came the an- nouncement of the winner of the Governor’s Cup, the Richland Northeast Silver Cadets. The band congratulated RN and then congregated around Connell for directions. Trombone players are (row 1) Rena Sulton, Peter Palma, Geoff DeLong, Matt Fulmer, Roger Lemacks, David Phaler.

He said that although some other bands could out march them, nobody could out play them. Peter Rutledge says, “State Fair was a joke. I feel like we, as a group, have really had something taken away from us and given to RN. Spring Valley is the best band in the state, and no festival or competition makes any differ- ence.” With the Governor’s Package coming into effect this year, band members had to pass all required courses to participate in band as an extracurricular activity. The Package also prompted Connell to cut down on the prac- tice time. Instead of practicing three days a week as in past years, the band practiced two days a week. “Impact of the package is good, and it limits us in some areas. Our band’s going to be the best regard- less of rules or laws,” W. Ben Nes- bit, principal said.

Since I was five years old, I longed to be a singer. School choirs, as well as church, have al- ways been a part of my life. It was natural to be in Viking Singers. When I was elected president of Viking Singers during my second year, it made me even more ex- cited about my responsibility in chorus. The chorus is a family. We learn together and help each other clean up mistakes. I’ll never forget All-State audi- tions. Singing in front of judges at USC, we tried not to let the ner- vousness show in our voices. Then I made it! The All-State weekend had arrived. We traveled for two hours to Rock Hill in a crowded activity bus anticipating the hard work ahead of us. The two day rehearsals seemed endless. They were worth every minute to hear the overwhelming concert at the end of the weekend. I will never give up singing, I love music too much. I learned so much in the past three years.

Although senior Kregg Baren- tine founded the Russian Club, he says he is not a communist. “Some people’s reactions are quite interesting. They call the club communistic and approach it with a closed mind. If we were to approach everything in the world with a closed mind, we would nev- er be able to achieve world peace if that’s really what we want. All I really want to do is approach some type of solution,’’ Barentine said. The goals of the club are to ex- plore the cultural and political as- pects of Russia and get a Russian language course at Spring Valley, not promote communism, accord- ing to Barentine. “It’s sad we have to have that type of opposition because one day, something’s going to have to break, so to speak. Barentine says he disagrees with the principles of commu- nism. “You’re always going to have people with different opinions and prejudices. That’s why commu- nism can’t work, because no one is Checking the Tin Man’s heart, junior Kim Anne Rodman and senior Greg Branham play the roles of Dorothy and the Tin Man as part of the Home- coming activities.

Whenever someone says people in this coun- try are equal, that is just totally ludicrous. No matter what anyone says, no one is equal. That is just a fact. They just can’t think the same way. That’s what I stand for — individuality. This country is based on equality, but no one is actually equal,” Barentine said. Barentine decided to start the club after he visited a school in Arizona where Russian was taught as a foreign language and students were involved in Russian culture. “I talked with some history teachers and Sharon Buddin (stu- dent activities director). They thought the club was a good idea. It seemed far-fetched, but it be- came a reality. I mentioned it to some people. They thought I was kidding around, but once they got the idea I was serious, they were just as interested as I was. All it needed was a little publicity,” Barentine said.

It re- ceived the most publicity of any of our projects, and I think that overall,everyone was pleased with the calendar,” Tolson said. The 17” x 24” calendars fea- tured 12 students, three from each class, posing in different outfits. Calendars were ordered in Octo- ber and arrived the first week of December. The first day the cal- endars went on sale to the public, the Anchor Club sold half the stock. One of the reasons the calendars sold so well was because of the news coverage by WOLO-TV, channel 25, according to Lorraine Harris, Anchor Club sponsor. “Some of the girls saw the tele- vision camera in the commons and rushed over to buy a calendar,” Harris said. Casey Gedmintas, sophomore hunk, says he was surprised by the reaction of some of the female stu- dents. “They ate it up. They bought so many. It really surprised me. After all, we’re only high school One of the twelve “Hunks” chosen for the Anchor Club hunk calendar was junior Bruce Smalley, Mr. September. Smalley was interviewed by WOLO-TV 25.

The hunks were selected by the class houses, who picked six repre- sentatives and submitted them to the Anchor Club officers. The offi- cers then selected the final three from each class to appear on the calendar, according to Renee Brasington, Anchor Club officer. “The guys weren’t picked be- cause of popularity, but most of them were selected because some- body knew them or thought they were cute,” Brasington said. Tolson and Harris said they agreed that most people were pleased with the quality of the cal- endars. “I think most people were satis- fied with it. Some people thought it was going to be different, but most people were satisfied with it,” Tolson said. “I was pleased with it. Some people said that the calendar part was too small, but I don’t think girls bought it for that. The only other negative response we had was the fact that the Super Hunk (Matt Rabon) was a freshman,” Harris said. “Although I took some kidding about it, doing the calendar was fun,” Gedmintas said. “I enjoyed it a lot. I had a great time. I look some flack about it, but I would do it again,” Gedmin- tas said. Jeff Kidd Key club members are (row 1) Mikki Corley. Lisa Weathershee, Kim Alewine.

Leo Club is affiliated with the Lions Club, which is a national service organization for men. The Lions Club does projects to help people who are blind or visually impaired. “Leo Club will hold many pro- jects such as eye donor drives and eye glass campaigns. The club is also thinking about sponsoring an Awareness for Vision week. Candy sales and broom sales will also be held,” Phil Grubbs, guidance counselor and Leo Club sponsor said. “The club has done something different this year. Jim Best, sen- ior, and Wayne Covert, senior, are co-presidents. We thought it may help to have two presidents in case one isn’t here.” It is plain to see that senior Wayne Covert is active in school activities. He is I.eo Club co- president and was involved in the Powder Puff Queen contest and placed first runner-up. Willing to support all activities, sophomores Su- san Menkhaus and Wendy Lippincott put just as much energy into pep rallies as they do all Civi- tan projects. Civitan members are (row 1) Eric Blau, Catherine Daran, Janetta Grant, Rachel Gabel, I eigh Toner, Anne Gill, Dow Viravan, Nicole Macbeth, Chris Haney, Debbie Walker, Susan Stock; (row 2) Greg Neubaum, Kay Kitrell.

As an advisor, Grubbs says his job has to be a resource and help officers decide what will be done. “Over the Christmas holidays, Leo participated with Z Club, the all-female service club, in a Christmas party to collect pre- sents for the Epworth Orphanage to give to needy children who can- not afford to buy presents.” “I hope Leo and Z Club will continue to work together for the community,” Grubbs said.

A Lot Of Red Tape The main goal of the Stock Club was to familarize students with the skills necessary to survive in the business world, according to senior Curt Williams, co-presi- dent. “Wayne Swygert and I wanted to start a club. We didn’t know what kind, but it had to have something to do with business. We found out that Jon Stafford (his- tory teacher) was interested in starting a stock club so we talked to him. There was a lot of red tape. We had to write up a petition and get 10 signatures on it. We did that, and that’s how the Stock Club got started. Anybody can be in the stock club,’’ Williams said. When a person joins the Stock Club, he must pay $10.00 which buys computer diskettes and proves the interest of a member in the club. The Stock Club decided to do a computer program to simulate a stock exchange. Senior Eric Ranft wrote the program for the Spring Valley Apple Computer. Each member was given $10,000.00 in stocks and had to manage the stocks, according to Williams. “We got the stock information out of the financial page.

Senior Linda Gaetan says she is glad to see Young Life come to Spring Valley. The purpose of the club is dif- ferent for each student, according to Gaetan. “It’s presenting Christ in differ- ent ways. It can reach people at all different levels. Some people just want to get away from home. It’s got something for everybody. It gives kids a chance to escape, in- troduces Christ, gives kids a chance to sing and play. It de- pends on the student. Some want to get out of the house, and they’ll be there to have fun. Some will be questioning religion, and it’ll be informative. Others will be Chris- tians and want to grow. That’s what it’s there for,” Gaetan said. FHA members are (row 1) Sarah Graham. Amanda Ward, Da I m eta Madison, Valerie Moore.

Students getting together, having fun, and fellow- ship are all a part of directors Diane Hideys job. School policy prohibited the or- ganization from coming on cam- pus without being a school club. The Equal Access Act passed this summer gave ground rules for religious groups to come on cam- pus, according to Stafford. Young Life area director Marty McGinn says another reason for becoming a school club was to reach more people. “We want to open Young Life to more high school students. Being at school would make us available to people who want to talk. The most important reason is getting more people involved.” Marty McGinn said.

Clubs of America (DECA) spon- sored a Christmas party for the special education students at Wil- son for the fifth consecutive year. About 60 members attended the party, according to senior Kelly Allen, DECA president. The party started with a visit from Santa, which was played by senior Andy Free. “I really enjoy being Santa. I was Santa last year. When those kids see me come in, it’s like their favorite Christmas present,” Free said. The students went up and sat on Santa’s lap, and each received a stocking full of goodies. After the kids talked to Santa, everyone ate lunch prepared by DECA members. Members then took turns dancing with the kids. “Being with the kids during the party really makes me realize how much I have,” Free said. “Being with the kids made me thankful I am healthy,” senior Paula Kendrick said. “We felt comfortable around the kids,” senior Denna Caroll said. Everytime the kids see one of the DECA members in the hall, they think of the party, according to Kendrick. Carolyn Wilson •Junior DECA members are (row 1) Gayle Sims.

A recent proposal to erect a statue in front of the fine arts building has stirred my atten- tion, since the projected cost is $5,000. I believe closer inspec- tion should be given to this idea because, however wonderful this mound of misconceived matter may be, it should not carry a four-digit price tag. The purpose of public school is to educate its students, pre- paring them for entrance into the adult world. Spring Valley is truly an unequalled school, but no matter how “proud of your name we will be,” there is no premise for such unneces- sary embellishment. “How rich is the heritage your Vikings claim?” is a good question. Let us consider the “benifits” of the statue. It would undoubt- edly attract vandals from other schools. The birds would have a lovely place to relieve natural pressure. We could even take it to girls cross country meets so our school would be represent- ed in the stands. Meanwhile, 75 student coun- cil members must sell more than 800 pounds of M M’s to repay a current $1,500 debt. Ap- parently, a real math major proposed the statue. Granted, the statue would look “nice” whatever that means, but an educational in- stitution should invest in edu- cation, not decoration. SV got its respect from instructional achievement, and that is the way to keep it. I hear the next proposal is a subway system for the fresh- man. Brian Magargle Subject of much controversy, this clay gesture sketch made by sculptor. Jon Formo, will be placed in front of the Spring Valley Fine Arts Building to represent the Viking mascot which is a symbol of the competitiveness which all Vikings share.

If the complainer had fairly researched his subject, he • would have discovered that it is not only a statue but a sculptur- al fountain. Hooray for the birds — they can bathe, too! That would definitely rule out the mobility of the piece so sor- ry girls cross country — you still won’t have any support. I would like to address the points that Mr. Margargle . called benefits. He stated that the statue would attract van- dals. I ask, is that a reason not ‘ to have something? I wonder if the city of Florence, Italy, ar- gued about Michaelangelo’s David when it was placed out- side? The purpose of the public schools is hardly in jeopardy when aesthetic enhancement is added. Mr. Margargle seems to have some doubt about what “look nice” means. I invited him to imagine a world totally void of any aesthetic or artistic appeal, and I think he would be able to clarify his understand- ing. His views represent a total lack of regard for the arts as . education. Even prehistoric man sculpted, drew and painted. There are some cultures that we know only through the art they left behind. This “mound of miscon- ceived matter” happens to be a permanent original piece made of braised copper and brass by a professional and well-known local artist. The price seems high to those uneducated in the cost of permanent outdoor sculpture. The 1500 first payment was not met with 800 pounds of M M’s. Last year’s senior class had enough “class” to donate $500 toward the project. There will always those who are against what they consider unnecessary. I only hope that there are more who want to go beyond basic needs and desire enrichment through some art form such as music, dance, the- atre or visual arts. It makes sense to me that the Fine Arts department proposed the addi- tion (an art major, not a math major) and the majority of the school is behind it. It says something really unique about Spring Valley students; we are proud and are above the basics! Thank You, Jackie E. Chalfant Beyond Basic Needs Working hard to complete a Rotary Club sign.

That was the easiest undertaking of my campaign for student body presi- dent ... “Next year’s student body president will be Jimmy Larsen,” she said. I did not even hear what she said after that. I was ecstatic ... and then I wondered if it was worth it. A summer of planning, Sport- sarama, Homecoming, RNE Days, the Miss Spring Valley Pageant, and three pep rallies have passed since I wrote that article. I realize now the responsibility that I un- dertook when I turned in my peti- tion last March. After winning, I expected a summer of leisure. This was not to be. I spent the summer planning and attending leadership confer- ences. This year, I have also had the responsibility of making sure everything gets done.

Two years ago they began a three phase Beautification pro- ject. This year Interclub worked to help provide a $5,000 bronze Viking statue for the front of the Fine Arts Building. Interclub council was comprised of presidents of the forty Spring Valley clubs. Although the council consisted of forty personalities, its main goal was to reach out to involve people in clubs and organizations. Interclub council met once a month to plan and organize events to prevent club activities from overlapping. Interclub also attacked is- sues that concern the students and the school. Issues that have been discussed this year are the graduation ceremony, parking situation, attendance policy, and the Viking statue. Guest speakers from the areas of concern came to the council meetings to talk about the is- sues and gave answers and advice to the council. Interclub council planned a school- wide Christmas project for the foster children. It also planned a domestic ex- change trip to Detroit.

Interclub Council 247 “It’s Not True, No” Now the tension of competition is over. I can still hear the clap- ping of all the happy schools. Where was Spring Valley’s award? Tension builds. Everyone in the room was an actor of sorts, never letting go a breath or sigh to indi- cate how scared they really were. Allstar cast members were called out. From Spring Valley, Erin Thigpen, one trophy coming up. I wondered what it felt like to hold one of those things. We love Erin, she deserved it, but where was Spring Valley’s award? So many hours were spent working, learning, dreaming. “It’s Thigpen’s last year and we’re go- ing to win!” Brandy Rucker, our faithful stage manager said. We all groaned with enthusiasm, but mostly with the fear that we couldn’t pull it off. The winning play to represent South Carolina for the 1985 Southeastern Competition was about to be called out. Then the tears started to fall on my roast beef. “It’s not true, no,” I said. Sabra looked up into my eyes with black trails of mascara and tears running down her face. I cried so hard. “First place goes to Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it all for you.” There was Spring Valley’s award- Danielle Howie Spring Valley Players freshman and sophomore members are (row 1) Blythe Tomlin, Lisa Halliday.

I try to ease the teacher’s load so they can do their job to the fullest,” said volun- teer, Selina Coleman. Community Divider 25! Students And Teachers Benefit The volunteer program met its goal this school year, according to faculty chairperson Laura Jackson. The program’s goals for the school year were to answer all the requests and have to have a weekly person in each of the major departments. They also had a volunteer to assist Sharon Buddin, stu- dent activities director, every week. We expect to log a record number of hours this year,” Jackson said. The volunteers took part in the Spring Bazaar, proms, blood drive, class elections, banquets and festivals. The volunteers have also helped teachers like David Knight, journalism teacher and Hal Brooks, speech and debate coach. The volunteers inflated bal- loons, sold yearbooks, sorted wrapping paper, distributed class rings, and co- pied, filed and sorted paper. The program benefited both students and teachers. The volunteers relieved teachers of paper work which then al- lowed the teachers to have more time to help students. Participating in the pro- gram allowed parents to take part in their children’s school activities, ac- cording to Jackson. “We are indebted to the volunteers who come every week, and to the volun- teers who are on call,” Jackson said. The program allowed the community to become aware of academics and ac- tivities going on. The program helped correct the false impressions parents have of the school by informing them of what is going on, according to Jackson. The program was begun by superin- tendent Herbert Tyler in 1979. “Every year it’s been more produc- tive,” Jackson said. The college assistance program, an all volunteer program, was a spin-off of the volunteer program. The college assis- tance program allowed the students to gain information on colleges. “We are happy to provide this service to the school as long as the school is using it. We get a lot of support from the administration,” Linda Olsen, pro- gram creator, said. “It seems to me they (volunteers) do a great job. They’re a great help to the guidance counselors. The parents should know about the program,” Kiki Perreault, program volunteer, said. John Che Volunteers help do everything from counting money to counting election ballots. School Board member Dottie Boatwright, five year volunteer veteran, helps type stories into the computer for the yearbook. 252 parent volunteers Putting in about 8-10 hours a week, parent volunteer Terry Anderson sells doughnuts for Debate during exam breaks.

My father explained to me, “The Spring Valley Education Founda- tion’s main objectives are to develop and fund programs to enhance educa- tion ...” But this was a formal defini- tion, like a constitution — it didn’t mean much to me. Gradually, however, I caught on to the feeling of the mem- bers of the Foundation. Their dedica- tion and the teachers’ excitement about the program reall impressed me. My first experience with the Educa- tion Foundation occurred at their open- ing press conference. Their objectives seemed vague and were confusing. (It was as if they were exaggerating the functions of a minor organization.) Their goals seemed tremendous and I didn’t think they could raise that much money. My next encounter with the Founda- tion was when one of the members came into my Physics class with Mr. Nesbit. They presented a telescope to Mr. Locke (I have never seen a teacher so enthused). We snickered at their pre- sentation and the thought of Mr. Locke’s looking forward to “playing with his new toy” during lunch. We never imagined how much we also would enjoy experimenting with that same toy. It finally dawned on me while attend- ing a three hour Foundation meeting. The members, like my dad, are busy businessmen and administrators giving up their time for this purpose. They racked their brains for friends and con- tacts who could help them attain the goals of the Foundation. They reviewed the in-depth proposals to find a way to get this or that for such and such a teacher. In addition, they wanted to raise more money so they could fund all the projects. Why? — for the simple motive of helping students. They want our education to be the best. Now that I have come to this realiza- tion, I wish I could express the Founda- tion’s worthiness and meaning to all students and parents.

Former freshman Miller Asbill and Mikki Scheeler work the booth. Stage 1: Complete When Spring Valley was built no real landscaping was done. During the spring before Aylan Brown and Elpidio Lin-Justiano took office, Sharon Buddin, student activi- ties director, came up with the beautifi- cation project. Brown and Lin-Justiano agreed to take it on as their project. Artist John Golson came out to draw landscaping plans for the front of Spring Valley, then the fine arts build- ing. The beautification project consists of three stages. On the first stage a sprin- kler system was built in front of the fine arts building. This year’s plans are for a sprinkler system in front of Wilson. Forty trees were planted last year. “Original plans were to have a plaque in front of each tree, but we thought it would look tacky with plaques in front of each tree,” Buddin said. Everybody had a real good time, trees were planted by students, and it made everyone feel good to do it, according to Kelly Sharpe, junior. The second stage is having a sidewalk built in front of Spring Valley to the Northpoint shopping center, according to Buddin.

Colophop 285 For seven years it has been a tradition for the senior class to sing the alma mater on the floor. Seniors Susan Goiser, Stephanie Ganders and Lynn Neville show their spirit during the home- coming pep rally. Receiving superior ratings for the auxiliary unit, drum line and overall performance at the 1984 State Fair band competition, junior drum major Anthony Livoti, senior drum major Dean Hoyle and band mascot Rudy accept a blue ribbon dis- play case to add to their collection of outstanding awards. 286 Closing One Last Time Loading after school, students file onto their bus- es after a long, hard day’s work. “I can’t believe first week is already over ya’ll.” “Gosh I know.” “I just feel numb. I don't know how I feel about being out of school.” Silence. “Ya’ll, before we go home — could we go by the school? I just want — or need, to see it right now. Is that okay?” “Yeah, no one will be there now.” “I was never at school at three in the morning!” Stiffled, superficial laugh. Thought. “I had to see it again. It really does seem like another life now. Waiting at the bus stop and freezing. The bus was always late on the coldest mornings. Getting off the bus and filing into the building around H-pod. Going through the Commons to my locker and never making it there until the bell rang. There always seemed to be so much to talk to people about. Walking down the halls saying hello to people, looking at the ground as I passed administrators, and just watching the people. I remem- ber thinking, this is one of the last times I’ll walk down to Student Activi- ties as an SV student. It’s almost like a dream. Gee! There’s Mr. Nesbit. Smile! Mrs. Rucker and Mrs. Myers are typ- ing, talking, and laughing — all at the same time. In classes and living just for lunch and in between classes to talk to people. What in the world did we talk about? Everything. Class. I didn’t have time to do my homework. ‘Zip.’ It wasn’t worth the trouble of explaining. Lunch. Moseying — casually to my locker, meeting my friends. Walk out to the canteen, stand in line, grab a Diet Coke and off to a meeting. So typical! Meeting’s over — ten minutes to walk around and ‘rap’ with the crowd. Make plans for tonight and talk about the weekend. Bell — off to class again. Day’s almost over — one more period. I have so much to do. Sixth-bell — out. I’d run to my car — hate to wait in line — or I’d stay after. What am I doing? Remembering. A past life. It’s so weird. I’m going to miss it. Gosh! — I can’t handle this!!” “Ya’ll are you ready to go?” “Yeah — let’s get out of here.” We all knew we’d been thinking and feeling the same things. “If you could say something to SV — the school — like what would you say?” Silence. “I don’t know.” The alma mater was always my fa- vorite time. I felt so close to everyone — to my school. There was a kind of — real — bond. Oh — remember that thing about tippin’ your hat. I think I just got it for tbe first time. I’m so dumb ... I never think about things or really appreciate them until “ex post facto” — government here! — it’s always “later.” I wish I could say Thanks — but where would I begin? Who could I go to? For- get it — it’s no use. Hopefully . . . may- be .. . they know — or next year some- one will tell them .. . for me. “We’re here!” “Thanks ya’ll — it’s been real. Later guys! ... — Ya’ll, I’m glad we went together. I had a great time! Thank you Gaye Coleman leader of the pack, junior Ronald Johnson and the rest of the cross country team took first place in the region meet before the homecoming football game.
