New Spirit Invades Campus BY KAY HUDSON The 1986-87 school year at TCHS was put into high gear by many anxious students who gave spirit by contributing extra effort in the band program, journalism class, and even lending an ear to hear their friends’ problems. This energetic spirit chacterizes the attitude of the student body and it captures the feeling of the 86-87 school year. This year has certainly been one to remember due to the anticipation of events such as seniors prepar- ing for senior trip and fund raising activities. Juniors ordering class rings and launching a magazine drive for the Junior-Senior Prom always makes the fall ex- citing. Meanwhile the sophomores gained one year but with new knowledge. As for the freshmen, their hearts were filled with the joy of coming to a new school but with the fear of persecution by the upperclassmen. There is an overwhelming surge of energy that burns in each student and it sets the pace for all that occurs during the school year. SENIOR HENRY JAY and Sophomore Teresa Jones share moments ot laughter before the last few seconds of the lunch period tick away. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Angel Lee and Ann Davis head off donut sale to raise money for class fund. 2 Opening

Grade A Students In the past years statistics have shown an increase in college admissions test score. Students are given the opportunity to take the SAT and or the ACT as many times as possible. These scores are taken into consideration by the colleges to which one ap- plies.Therefore it is important to score highly on test. In the past few years the scores of students here have shown an increase. For example, in the math section of the ACT in 1984 the scores rose from 19.3 to 20.2 in 1985. On the SAT math section, the scores rose from 491 in 1984 to 495 in 1985. “Congradula- tions are certainly in order to all who helped achieve this,” said Dr. Britt Poulson, principal. While ACT verbal scores have remained about the same, verbal scores on the SAT went down over the past four years. Dr. Poulson recommended that teachers give students more time for individual thinking. We need to work on the student’s ability to get into a group, stand on his own two feet and defend a position that might not be that of the majority,” said Dr. Poulson.
