IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! Getting it togetherI! The alarm clock rung. ‘‘C’mon Ralph, it’s time to get up.’ This was the dreadful ordeal that many of us students faced on the first day of school. After sleeping in until all hours for the past two and a half months, it was not easy adjusting our body to waking up early. Deciding what clothes to wear was even worse. We stood in front of the mirror while we tried on every piece of clothing we owned. After we had finally decided what to wear, it was last year's clothes. Next, it was off to catch the bus. The ride up or down the mountain was noisy and crowded. It seemed like it would take forever. As the bus stopped in front of the school, the doors opened and the kids burst through the opening eager to go to school. GO down to the end of the hall, make a left and you’re there. says Asst. Principal Charles Lloyd to junior Wendy Hebb. Mr. Hedrick registers a World Cultures book as he hands it to junior Teresa Wil- liams on the opening days of school.

OH THOSE MEMORIES! Midterms, your drivers exam and report cards made you shiver in your shoes the more you thought about it, but with just one thought of asking that special person out could have made you break into a clammy, cold sweat quicker than an ice-cube could melt over a burning fire. No one ever said that asking was easy, but it was a lot easier than sitting at home watching television with your parents wondering where you would have been right then if only you would have spoken up. But guys aren’t the only ones doing the asking, girls too! Remember these were the '80’s, anything could have happened in those days. Anything included a girl being the one to break the toplayer by doing the asking. “If she wouldn’t have asked me to the dance, we'd probably still be just lab partners.” recalled Brian Quattro. With Tucker County not having any movie theaters or any place to hang- out, most couples went to Elkins to the movies or grabbed a pizza and cruised town. But not having any place to go didn’t stop couples from falling into that magical world of 'love. ’’“Our friends introduced us in the A+P parking lot and we’ve been together ever since.” said Teresa Williams. Of course there were the ones who fell head over heels with just one look and then there were the ones who preferred flirting ten to one. “The best thing about flirting was that there were no commitments, just lots of smiles and lots of memories. quoted Mary Haverty. People said that high school was the best time of their life and sharing those times with someone made them even more magical. Perhaps it did until that special person went their own way. But life wasn’t necessarily over. “When my first love left. I told myself I’d never love another,” recalled Sandra Burton, “But little did I know then that there was more than one “dreamboat in the world.” There was no doubt about it though, high school dating brought together lots of friends, lots of memories and sometimes lots of tears; but those just came with the territory. m 10 MEETING of the minds. Parties proved to be a big get together for couples and friends as David Hansford and Brenda Dilly make a lasting memory for their scrapbooks. GIVING it his all.
