ports, Steve year he had iight lifting. ind through r magazine 'e worked at e devil youll Luinn I BPSGI1 ring at the Jvever, when ed ease the ,low Seniors ich was her ge following gh her hard ness in the Linda Speilmann's dedication to art was noticed by the students. Her talents were demonstrated through the art work on the set for ALL THAT GLITTERS . . . also the poster and tickets for FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON. Linda's junior year was very trying because of her twin sister leaving at semester and the heartbreaks of high school romances. We hope her senior year holds nothing but good. Linda Speilman ......-..........-...,. Joe Howard As an accomplished musician, Joe Howard was indeed an asset to S.C.H.S.'s Jazz Band. He enjoyed performing immensely. Joe's afternoons as a junior were spent at Vo-Tec where he took Computer Programming, He was a quiet person to most, and definitely opinionated on some subjects. With one year left at S.C.H.S. it will be interesting to see what instrument Joe will be playing next year in the band. 3 an 91921 ' Tim Ponder In his last year at SCHS Tim Ponder's life centered outside of school even though he enjoyed it. If Tim wasn't at work at the United Health Center he was at J .A. There Tim was a member of the radio station KJAC sponsored by KICK. This was beneficial for he hopes to pursue a career in marketing and music after college. Steve Urban, the youngest of the Urbans that attended S.C.H.S. was very quiet. However, as the year progressed he became more verbose. He was an avid baseball fan which was obvious in his speeches in Communication class. His Saturdays were spent mowing lawns to make some spending money. Steve's excellence in scholastics was a tremendous achievement and hopefully through his hard work and dedication it will continue in his next three years at S.C.H.S. Steve Urban I J lr . iv'

In her freshmen year Jenni competed in the State Music Festival in Columbia where she received an outstanding rating of II. Jenni also took gymnastics and aerobic dancing which she demonstrated in her Speech I class. Long blonde angel hair was another of her assets. As an enthusiastic fan of SCHS she will undoubtedly be involved in many activities. One could say that Sean Donegan's high school life had been anything but ordinary. In his senior year Sean married Cheryl Stone. Then in December of 1979 they were blessed with a child, Erin Elizabeth. Sean adjusted in his new roles of father, husband and provider, with maturity and responsibility. In the second semester, while still at SCHS Sean enrolled at SMSU, getting a head start on his college career where he plans to major in conservation. Many of Sean's choices for the future have already been made and with Godis blessings Sean and his family will succeed! Sean Donegan David Exline The strong silent young man in the freshman class who excelled in the classroom and on the athletic field was known as David Exline. Beginning the basketball season as a starter on the freshman team David was quickly moved to JV and then to the varsity teams - the only freshman to hold such an honor. David also ran cross country and track. As for scholastics David held an A-B average. He was one of the few people who really made use of that first period study hall. David has made his mark on SCHS and will continue to achieve in the future. i :sf 1 V. 'ALI It was sad to see BJ leaveuour school in the middle of his sophomore year. Yet the year and a half he was here he contributed much to the school. His freshman year was highlighted by being on the football team and a class officer. As a sophomore he was co-class editor of the yearbook and once again a member of the football team. BJ was a quiet person to most people but when he did say something it was useful, well needed, and often vital to the conversation. We will miss BJ and wish him the best of luck in Delaware. BJ Lyons
