Gay Banks and Marilyn Batts get their hands dirty while fixing chicken for the Bar-B-Que. The community of Stuarts Draft was very busy in activities. Many of the resi¬ dents joined forces and participated in the little league, Bar-B-Que, and rescue squad and fire department. The little league program had a great year. Many students helped coach the little league cheerleaders and helped in organizing a dance for the parent ' s en¬ joyment. These students were: Jenifer Alexander, Jill Buchanan, Crystal La- whorne, Claire Jennings, Angie Cox, Tina Tutwiler, Stacy Desimone, Sherry Madison, and Renee Blackwell. These students enjoyed working with the pro¬ gram and girls. The adults of the community worked together to prepare a chicken Bar-B- Que. They cooked all day and the sales were very successful. The adults also helped the community by participating in the volunteer rescue squad. This was greatly appreciated by many people. The community of Stuarts Draft was one that worked together to get things done. Thanks to all that participated and contributed in all the activities. by Crystal Lawhorne Community 19

Ladies and gentlemen . . . Throughout the school year, different classes were blessed with the presence of many speakers. These speakers were welcomed by students, not only be¬ cause it meant no work in class, but, rather, the speakers had something im¬ portant to say. One such speaker was our own prin¬ cipal, Mr. Avoli, who spoke on the con¬ duct and behavior of students through¬ out the year. He also added, as an after¬ thought, that misconduct could lead to the deterioration of the student(s) body. Another speaker welcomed by stu¬ dents was State Trooper Sholes. It was only fitting that he visited the govern¬ ment classes explaining the rights of the people and the rights of the police. Sponsored by the Library Club was a storytelling time for the children of the faculty. The stories were told by Dr. Ramsey, a professional storyteller. As the year went on, other assemblies and programs were presented to the students for enjoyment as well as a learning experience. One such assem¬ bly was presented by Theatre Four called Runners,” a high-impact drama on the real life experiences of actual runaways. Also presented was a Christ¬ mas program in order to get the stu¬ dents in the holiday spirit. Everyone enjoyed any guest speaker or assembly that was brought into the school. They were able to break away from the monotonous routine of every¬ day school life to the pleasurable and relaxing atmosphere of the auditorium. By Jenny Profitt and Donna Cogar Performers from Theatre Four discuss the feelings and experiences felt and seen by actual runaways. A ifil pm 20 Assemblies guest speakers
