Big A s the summer festivities wound down, Tucker County 11 High School students began to seriously think about f' ■ or should we say dreading the approach of.............. school. Guys dug out the unused notebooks saved from years gone by. Girls went out and shopped for the latest fashions and adopted the hottest new looks. Parents si- lently thanked their lucky stars that September was just around the next blessed corner and their lovely little cher- ubs would be out of their hair. The late nights, the bore- dom, the heat and humidity would soon be gone and par- ents could count on at least coming home to something more thant the summertime tornado-hit living room. May- be we should have given them a little more credit for through the three hectic months of summer they NEVER TUCKERED OUT. Three cheers for the opening of the big season.

After all, it's not every year we send a team to Charleston to compete in the Class AA Football Championship, although the team had gone two years in a row and this year fell short of being champs by losing to top rated Winfield. And it's not often you’ll find a girls basketball team that finishes 18-6 after winning their sectional and finishing with a heart breaking loss in Regionals to Berkley Springs. Only in Tucker County does a boy spend every spare moment trying to rebuild his basketball skills to help the team get to states after being shot in the side in a hunting accident last season as Eric Poling did. And how about the Girls Volley- ball Team? Although young and inexperienced, they had a terrific season. But oh, when students remember Tucker Sports, Jed Drenning’s name is sure to be mentioned. Jed was the quarterback for the Mt. Lions and earned the high honor of being named the best football player in the state of West Virgin- ia by claiming the Kennedy Award. To many, the sports are what make our school so proud and even though we have come up on the short end of the stick, we have NEVER TUCKERED OUT! A first for Tucker County High.

Sports Divider 7 For an encore When looking back on the past year's football season it seems to have closely resembled the season of the previous year. But little did most people know that that year was a very significant one in the football records of Tucker County High School. When looking at the season record most people saw 9 wins and one loss, but under the surface there was much more to consider. The season was an 8 and 0 opener, the best start ever of a season in the football records at TCHS. Counting the 7 games in a row at the end of the 1986 football season, and the 8 games won at the beginning of the 1987's season, our team had a 15 game winning streak. Adding up the points of the 1987's regular season, we finally broke the 300 point marker by scoring 301 points total. Our guys came back for an encore from 1986's show, but it seemed that the encore just wasnt enough but, to the senior players of 1988: Jim Ambrose (SE), Carmen DelSignore (FL), Jed Drenning (QB), Chop- per Evans (G), John Grafton (TE), Jeff Hardy (G), John Harper (G), Kevin Hebb (TE), Shawn Long (T), Allen Loughry (G), B.J.

Several times for practice, then for the record The Mountain Lions once again denied the odds and made their way to 1987-88 title game in Charleston. Their first match-up in the playoffs was with the Sissonville Indians. The Mountain Lions pulled through for a 22-13 win and an advance to the “Final Four. Their next victory was an important one. It was a chance to lock horns with the defending champions and avenge the heartbreaking loss of 1986. The team played their hearts out in the double-overtime contest for a well deserved 26-20 win over the Bridgeport Indians. The thrill of defeating a team, that had fast become one of our biggest rivals, was only part of the prize. The part that really count- ed was the trip to the capital for the “BIG GAME. The game was also like a trip to the past. The Mountain Lions had dashed with the Generals in the state tourney of 1985. The game was a tough one with a devastating end. The team had once again “almost made it. “ Though they didn 't come out the victors, these young men were all champions in their own right. As the graduating members of the TCHS “cat attack venture their separate ways they'll never forget their last “unforgettable season, as a Tucker County Mountain Lion.

They practiced every night with the Varsity and rooted them on all the way. You could see the pride on every face while standing on the sidelines watching the Varsity members victoriously lead the Mt. Lions for another win. After the Freshman and JV season was over, they still came to the field to. practice with the Varsity and improve their skills for the upcoming year. Their dedication was greater than what they were given credit for. To these guys a goal of filling the shoes of the Varsity players is distant. Their best just isn't good enough when they feel so behind. Constantly they lift, run, sweat, and strive with a heart of gold and the courage of a lion to achieve the high goal they have set for themselves. Freshman Coach, Greg Snyder, a new addition to the Tucker County Coaching Staff, showed his enthusiasm at all games. He stood by the guys and saw the potential in each, giving them words of confidence - the initiative to win, and a pat on the back when their achievement was exceptional. He quoted “This year's football sea- son has been a learning experience for both the kids and I. Don't count these boys out yet because although both teams scoreboards weren't that impressive, most famous and powerful people start at the bottom and work their way to the top. The future of Tucker County football looks bright in the hands of these talented athletes. Duane Sikarskie (11) yells horray as he scores a vital touchdown in the JV game against Central Preston. Freshmen Aaron Fansler (50) and John Hinkle (72) stop for a quick recess in the middle of a game. JV Football-13 Reaching their goals The 1987 girls basketball season came to an unfortunate end by losing the Regional tourmament at Petersburg. The regular season record was quite an impressive one of 18 and 6, however, the tournaments were what mattered from the beginning. Although their main goal was to make it to the state play-offs, the Lady Lions fell short of that goal, though several other key goals set by Coach Dave Kyle were achieved. The Lady Mt. Lions accomplished several goals during the 1987 season. Among these were going undefeated on their home floor, winning the Potomac Vally Conference Championship, winning the Sectional Championship. They also enjoyed an overall record of 18 wins against 6 losses. This team had nothing to be ashamed of by coming one game short of making the big trip to the State Tourna- ment, commented Coach Kyle. The Regional Tournament is where it all ended for the Lady Lions. They were overtaken by Berkley Springs at Petersburg. The locker- room was silent, every head down, and every player speechless. The agony of this defeat left the girls in dismal tears and broken dreams. The Tucker County Girls Varsity Basketball Team: Front row; Edie Sheppard, Kathy Reall. Dee Dee Lester.

Coach Kyle Girl's Basketball-15 For most of this varsity team that was their last chance, but Coach Kyle hopes that the remaining varsity players as well as new- comers to the team will prove as deter- mined as these fine players were. The young members of the varsity team also contribut- ed to the teams' success, by being there when they were needed. They knew that as they intently watched those players out there that next year it would be all up to them and they would be those players con- trolling the game. The varsity team did in- deed have a memorable season. They prac- ticed hard during the summer and they pushed themselves in practice. They were a team. They won as a team and they lost as a team. They were all for one and one for all and they came very dose to being number one. And as for Coach Kyle, all of the mem- bers of the Lady Mt. Lions respected him and believed him, just as he respected and believed in them. Driving toward her goal. Tammy Maxwell succeeds in showing the Falcon's how it's done. OH NO!

Girl's Basketball-17 Building for next years varsity The Tucker County JV girls finished the season with a winning record of nine and six. They played a tough schedule but proved that they could compete with some of the best. The vast majority of the JV squad consisted of Freshmen and Sophmores, thus creating a more experienced team for the future. They tacked in experience and also in size, however, they made up for it in skill, speed, and determination. An important quality they posessed was that they never let up, whether they were ahead by twenty, or down by twenty, they kept right on hustling until the final second ticked off and the ending buzzer sounded. Although the team was relatively young, they were very advanced in their athletic abilities, plus there is ample talent returning for next year's JV team, as well as many hopefuls for next year's Varsity line- up. These are just the kind of athletes it takes to build a good team. They knew the meaning of hard work, having practiced against the Varsity team all season. They realized what it took to succeed, and they were willing to give an all out effort to do just that. E. Preston 48-20 Hampshire Co. 40-34 Pocahontas Co. 51-39 C.

Girl's Basketball-19 “FORE” ever trying Starting the 1987- 88 school year the golf players prac- ticed long and hard to get ready for their upcoming matches. There were very few experienced players on the team but experience is the best teacher and these players learned quickly. “Fore was the newest word added to the limited vocab- ulary of the “putting pupils of the sport. A hole in one was the goal of every player on the team. “Green'’ was their favorite color and “birdies their fa- vorite animal. The movie, “Caddy- shack took on new meaning for these would-be pros. The team tri- umphed once, beat- ing Gilmer County. They had some close scoring games, but couldn 't seem to emerge victors due to lack of experi- ence. They also managed to pull through another win against Hedgesville during the regional tournaments. With an undying spirit the players did their best to make the season a suc- cess, but unfortunat- ly met many adversi- ties. Despite all their problems the TCHS golf team, “NEVER TUCKERED OUT.

After losing the first three games of the season, which slightly discouraged them, the Mt. Lions still proved to be success- ful. With teamwork and lots of hard practice, they eventually im- proved their record to 14-7 by the end of the regular season. Their seven losses were not to wimpy teams by any means. The boys took on tough opponents, such as triple A ranked, Elkins, Buckhan- non-Upshur. and West Fairmont. They may have lost to a few, but they literally trampled all others in their path. With a good record, the Mt. Lions set their hearts on the goal of going to states. They truly seemed to be the first team from Tucker County to go. Com- pared to the teams of the past, this year's Varsity Boys' Basketball Team who went out and achieved their goal, proved to us that they were TOTALLY ON THE BALL! .

Lions say hello to states A successful season sent the boys basketball team on to Section- als at Moorefield. They played two games, one against Frankfort, and the second against Petersburg. The game against Petersburg proved to be a very competitive game, for they became Sectional champions winning by only one point, 49-48. Winning Sectionals, sent them into Regionals, in which they played the tough Mussel- man Applemen. Musselman's very active crowd didn't seem to fire them up much, for the Lion's reigned as Regional champions by the end of the game. Winning Regionals, put them in the top eight teams in the state. Onward to Charleston, the Mt. Lions marched proudly, probably more proudly that other teams there, for it was the first time in our school history that any basketball team had made it to state. After a long struggle against St. Mary's, in the first round of the tournament, the Blue Devils were eventual winners of the game. We were still just as proud of our team as if they had won. By competing successfully with other teams, by dedicating them- selves to their sport, and by becoming the first basketball team from Tucker County High School to go to state, They proved to us that they were definately, A CUT ABOVE THE REST . Just Cutting It! Ross James cuts the net of the Musselman game, in which winning it made the Mt. Lions Regional champions. Oh No! I broke a nail! , seems to be what B.J.

Varsity Boy’s Basketball 25 JV and Freshman do their best The Junior Varsity and Freshmen Boys Basketball teams, both did fairly well this year. The JV ended their season with a 9-12 record, while the freshman stood proudly with an 8-8 record. Both coaches felt that much athletic ability was displayed on both teams. 4s most teams, our JV and freshman teams had a few players that seemed to shine above the rest. The freshman team seemed to be dominat- ed by three talented young men. Matt Ruckle, who was very dedi- cated and exerted a lot of potential, Mark Kochenderfer, who was a hard worker and definitely had the size, and Buck Clark, who the coach felt had a tremendous amount of athletic ability if channeled in the right direction. Juniors, Charles, Lloyd, Eddie Carr, and Kent Taylor seemed to be a very strong force, while along the side of their teammates Sophomores Greg Evans. Duane Dilly, and Matt Poling. Both teams attended tournaments, in which the freshmen visited the PVC, and the JV attended the Petersburg Invitational. The freshmen made it to the second round of their tournament, and the JV became runners-up in the championship. There are a lot of faces, you'll see on Varsity next year, if they continue to work hard, and prove to Coach Gutshall, that they are Keeping the Pace! . Good Luck Guys!!!! You'll need it and lots of dedication to make Varsity. JV Basketball Team: FRONT: Dale Jones, Eddie Carr.

Take A Look Totally on the ball In the 1986 school year a girl’s Volley- ball team was start- ed. The girl's were inexperienced, but as they played more games they decided to continue it. When the first day of prac- tice arrived, it seemed like they were starting anew as if it were the first year they played. For the first week, Coach Karen Can- field worked on get- ting them into shape for the first match. After that they be- gan practicing against each other, the experience they'd had from last year began to show through. They had twenty matches and won six of them which was an improvement from the year be- fore. The girls worked well togeth- er and showed lot of potential. Giving a little pep talk, Karen Canfield describes the plays as Chrissy Sutton takes it all in. 28- Volleyball 1st row, Ito r: Kellie Phillips, Edie Sheppard, Dee Dee Lester.

Running track is very de- manding because it requires long hours of training, but as in anything, reward equals the effort put forth. This year was a year of sacrifice and reward for the many track athletes that were born to run. ” Shane Had- dox, Jim Ambrose, Matt Ruckle, Mark Brock, Brenda Dilly, Edie Sheppard, and Cindy Newman all participated in the State Track Meet and provided a good showing for Tucker County High School. Tammy Long also participated in the 1988 State Track Meet. Tammy was the first athlete from TCHS to ever place first in a State Championship Tour- nament. Tammy was number one in the eight hundred meter dash, and number two in the 200 meter dash. Congradtula- tions Tammy! Tuck- er Co.

Prac- tice was held after school at the Par- sons baseball field. When it rained the players would stay after school and pass in the gym. The guys rarely missed a practice for they were dedicated and wanted to improve their skills. The 1988 baseball team con- sisted of: C. Delsig- nore, J. Drenning. R. James, B. Quattro, B.

The stars of the scho- O lastic scene were true champions in their own right. They studied hard, gave up many social functions, and received the exceptional grades that earned the respect and envy of their peers. Marla Gilmore, a junior at Tucker County High School, won ‘Best of Fair' at the 35th Annual State Science and Engi- neering Fair, beating 126 other projects. Marla was awarded a week-long trip to Knoxville, Tennessee for the International Science and Engineering Fair where she stole away the third place title. Wendy Hebb received the distinction of being named the valedictorian of her graduating class. The Salutorian of the Class of 88' was David Hansford. The past year set yet another milestone for Tucker County education with the addi- tion of satellite classes to the curriculum. These classes were received on a satellite dish and viewed on a moniter in the classroom. This added Physics I and German I to the available electives, both of these classes were part of the weighted grade system, which was implemented last year. This was a very controversial issue among the students. In the college- bound classes an A became worth five points, a B was worth four, and so on. Tucker County High School students have put down their pencils and headed into the summer fun but during the school year they kept their noses to the grindstone and NEVER TUCKERED OUT.

Students Eggstoticolly Study Parenting m The students in Miss Harman's Adult Roles and Functions Class had a unique project this year. Each student was given an “egg- child to care for. These “babies were to be treated as if they were alive.

At the end of two weeks a mother's or fathers grade de- pended on the care of their kids. Charges of abuse and neglegence could result in a low grade. Heart- broken mothers brought their cases in front of the Tucker Coun- ty High School Family Court. The school's biggest scandal took place when a group of stu- dents, the Three Amigos, kid- napped Donna Hebb's infant and held it for ransom. There were many loopholes in both the case for the defense and the prosecu- tion. Defense Attorney, Roger Cate, was eventually convicted. Mr. Cate wanted a retrial or the grounds of stolen evidence. The accused thief was the prosecuting attorney. The project turned out to be a real learning experience for ev- eryone involved.

Two new classes were offered, these classes were German and physics. The students watched their teach- ers on a moniter set up in the class- room. The students were able to in- teract with their teachers on a direct line telephone. There is also a printer on which the teacher can send data directly to the class. During Auto Body.

Mr. DeLuca had the oppor- tunity, white attending the National Science Convention, to visit the TI-IN STUDIO and meet Mr. Loomer per- sonally. The class was quite enter- tained at the prospect of seeing a fa- miliar face on nationally viewed television. While on the program, Mr. DeLuca received TV star billing. Mary Alice Klein, Tucker County Su- perintendent of Schools, stated that she hoped to continue using and pos- sibly expand the use of the satellite system.

Of course, a teacher could only take so much of the back of the class musician. The student was then sent to the office for being Bad in his class.

Faculty - 41 Dale Ruckle Cathy Rummel Jean Sagrace Faye Smith Greg Snyder The Birth Of Journalism Tucker County High School wit- nessed the birth of the Mountain Line this past school year. The Mountain Line was the name for the school's very own newspaper. The class was thereby dubbed Journalism. The journalism teach- er was Mrs. Warner and the class was held during sixth period in Miss Harman's room. The news- paper covered the special events that took place at school and also The makings of a new friendship leave Mike Cussins.

Copy editor for the paper was Becky Chenoweth and the news editors were Roger Cale and Ra- mona Davis. Tom Plaugher and Lisa Hebb then joined the staff as feature editors. Checking over the sports section was Allen Loughry. Photo editor of the Mountain Line was the position Joan Warner 'flashed' into. The long list of page editors included: Brenda Dilly, Sandra Vanscoy, Ann Dearborn, Penny Streets, Re- shelle Spessert, and Danny Pase. Becky Judy strutted her stuff as the advertising manager for the school year. Kellie Phillips com- pleted the roster as the 1987-88 layout editor. The Mountain Line was sold for twenty-five cents and was hoping to see many roving reporters in the futures years of T.C.H.S. The Mountain Line comes together as Joan Warner puts on the finishing touches.

It spread through the halls of Tucker County High School like a ram- pant wildfire. It was the notorious disease Sen- ior it is that only had an effect on those who ap- proached their final days of high school. In nearly every teacher it brought temperatures to a boil. Often we heard them pro- claim Why don’t you se- niors start acting like ju- niors?! , as they watched hard-studying, attentive senior students turn into irresponsible, obnoxious bums. But then, who real- ly had the right to judge? They had spent 11 3 4 years of their lives study- ing, taking notes, doing projects and reports. Now the time came for them to sit back and allow the remaining time to breeze by. But did they really care what people thought of their “non-chalant way of thought? NO WAY! The way they saw it, they earned all rights to such “attitudes. They de- served to unwind and en- joy the fast going remain- ing days of their high school lives. So, perhaps it wasn't the carefree, ir- responsible senior bums who had the problem, maybe it was everybody else's who tried to cramp their style. Who could have blamed them for taking one final look around and proclaiming with a tinge of cockiness WE ARE THE BEST! Remembering all of his good times at Tucker County High.

The Senior Class of '88 raised enough money to go on the ultimate senior trip to Florida. They were the first class to go some- where so far away for so long. The trip was from June 5 to June 10 and it was said to be a blast! Raising money to go on the trip wasn't easy for the seniors. From the time they were freshmen, they had done things such as car washes, hoa- gies sales, VCR, waterbed and rifle chances. In the long run it was all worth it. By raising over $13,000, the seniors achieved one of their many goals, to give them the chance to see Florida. The seniors had a variety of things they could do while they were in Florida. They spent two days in Dayto- na where they had the op- tion to go to the beach, shop or sight see. In their last days at Orlando, the land of Disney, they went to either the Epcot Cen- ter, Magic Kingdom or Wet-N-Wild. On their de- parture, the seniors waved good-bye to Mick- ey Mouse, his girlfriend Minnie, Donald Duck, and the rest of the gang be- fore they headed on their long journey home. 48 - Seniors CU-GA Richard J.

I've been stashing my closet full of junk and I told ev- eryone to bring something 'cause know how you guys like to eat. No. don’t worry about dropping or spilling anything on the floor or breaking any of mom's valuables. I have plenty of cleaners, sponges, and scrub- brushes for the carpet, and I am putting all the breakables in a box in my room. Well. I guess I'll see you there, tell everyone to spread the word .............. ..................... Yeah. I do think that everyone had a great time, and there were only a few minor spills, nothing that I couldn't take care of. I think I counted about eighty people all together but it wasn't over- crowded. Everyone kept coming in and out. Did you see all that food. think I'll be eating chips and pretzels for the next year or so. No. I didn 't know Melody and Jerry got together that night. Did you see Scott? think he was the center of attention. Mom and dad should be coming back tomorrow, and after I put everything back in place, the house will look like it had never been touched. I am very happy with the way everything turned out. yet a little sad too. I wish these times could last forever. • Proud of her new edition. Laura Hissam flaunts her children to Rochelle Rosier.

THERE’S NO ESCAPING The teacher named Mrs. Roy There was one teacher in TCHS that you just could not get away from. No matter how many schedule changes you went through, you still had this person. This teacher was none other than Mrs. Carol Roy. 4s a junior, you could of had her for World Cul- tures. But, as a senior, you had to have her for CA E. There was no get- ting around it. Mrs. Roy was known for creativity. On her taxes, she had real situations. It might of been Mr. George Marigold who was di- vorced with three kids. You might have had to do a W-4 form on him. In CA E, you also par- ticipated in mock trials. After you studied how the government and law worked, the class re- ceived papers on the situ- ations and characters. You were to act out these roles and perform a mock trial. You could of been the defense lawyer of a kidnapper or the kid- napped victim's boyfriend. The ups and downs of the stock market also contributed to Mrs. Roy's class. You could of invest- ed into different compa- nies. 4s you noted from day to day changes of Wall Street, you could of come out ahead or fell way behind. Even though they griped then, down the road as they reminisce of their high school years, Mrs. Roy will most likely come up in the conversation. 52 - Seniors HE-LA Darrell W. Heckler Mark L.

When October came announcements, Thank-you notes, name cards, senior keys, caps and gowns, and memory books were ordered. Also in that same month, the senior class voted their class favorites, such as brown nosers, class crashers, etc ... . During the winter months, se- niors still worked hard to raise money for their Se- nior trip to Florida. On March 31, 1988, approxi- mately 90 seniors partici- pated in the annual Senior Skip Day. Finally the end of May had come. It was time to prepare for Baccalaure- ate and Graduation. For graduation, a senior coun- cil was devised to help plan Project Graduation. This was a non-alcoholic party which was held at Canaan Valley State Park after graduation. Door prizes were given and dances and lip syncs were held. The year begun, it end- ed.

Re- member when they came up to you to ask you where a class was? You chuckled. You answered quickly, Go clear to the end of this hall. Make a left. Get on the elevator and go to the second floor. When you get off, it's the third door on the right. You can't miss it. The timid little person just looked at you and went on. When you were a se- nior, that meant no more state functional tests. Af- ter hours of looking at those dots everywhere, you became hypmotized. If you became bored or in a creative mood, you made designs with those dots. Maybe your dot-dia- gram turned out to be a dog, a Tucker County paw print, or maybe the name of your honey. Another advantage of being a senior is no more guess work of the mys- tery meat. 4s you looked down on your tray, you’d often wondered if your meat loaf was yesterdays hamburger. Sometimes you questioned what was about to pass through your digestive system. That time was past now. Now it was time to say good-bye. The King of Rock (aka Roger Cate) lives on.

It was hard to believe that you once thought it would take eons to get at this moment. You stood on the threshold of gradu- ation. You made it through many adolescent obstacles such as dating, fitting-in, and making decisions. You once thought that you would never miss this place. Suddenly, you looked back. Though it wasn't quite over, you missed it already. You looked at your life-long and new friends, realizing Close by your heart that there weren't many more days of just “hang- ing-out. You hoped that you and the great times would last forever. But, somehow you knew that years tarnish the memo- ries. Perhaps you found yourself wanting to turn back time or you put on an optomistic outlook and couldn't wait to “escape. Still the memories flooded back when you flipped through old notes, grade school high school pictures, thought about secret jokes and remem- bered things you thought you'd forgotten. You thought about the par- ties, dances, cruises around town, and slee- povers. Of course, there will be more dances, par- ties and such, but it won't be as special as those of high school. No words could even begin to ex- press the way you felt. But, you weren't alone. And even though the memories may tarnish, and bonds vanish, the memories will always be in your heart-your private treasure chest. Senior spirit rides high during the homecoming pep rally.

Re-St Seniors - 59 A DAY OFF Give your brain a break At six-thirty as usual over one hundred seniors opened their sleepy eyes, only to dose them again and dream about the day ahead. Next to gradua- tion, this was the most long-awaited day in one's year as a senior. The day was the infamous ‘ ‘Senior Skip Day. The Skip Day for the Class of 88 fell on March 31 st, giving them a five-day weekend. While some were sleeping in or terrorizing town, others hurriedly began their En- glish term papers. There were those who left just long enough to watch Mom and Dad head for work. But, there were twelve dedicated seniors who made their way up the mountain to the insti- tute of knowledge. When Monday morning rolled around, the excuse table seemed as if it was the place to be. Some popular excuses seemed to be: “Please excuse Lori from school. She was overtired from the excite- ment of the social studies fair. “Please excuse Matt for he had a bad case of simple chronic halitosis. “Please excuse Penny from school as she was ill. “Please excuse Brenda for she was out of town. “I'm sure there are quite a few more but we 7 just “skip those.

It is not at all uncom- mon to hear all kinds of tales about all kinds of people doing all kinds of things, or to hear who's doing what this weekend and other various conver- sations about anything and everything in high school. One talent high school students have would definately be the ability to talk. Whether it's in the halls, with their girl- friend or boyfriend, in the bathroom with their friends or in class where they shouldn't be, there is always a constant como- tion and babeling occur- ring. Sometimes the con- versation is worthwhile, such as at the “teen fo- rum , or the speeches in English class, but some- times the gossip and ar- guments, not to mention the class disruption, get a little out of hand and cause problems, not only for those involved, but for those who are exposed to the noise and confusion. So, whether it's bad talk, good talk, baby talk, or smart talk, there is alot of it going on. Caught in the act of studying?

First lunch is filled with mostly fresh- men and sophomores gathering in groups every- where, and the tales trav- el from one table to the next all in one 30 minute lunch period. Second lunch is in many ways dif- ferent yet many ways the same, it mostly contains juniors and seniors with a few sophomores here and there. During second lunch, words are spread too, but the radio is tuned in and everyone mellows out. It really doesn 't mat- ter which lunch you're in, all anybody cares about is getting out of class.

Such as, “Son, when I was in school I considered my- self so lucky I walked fif- teen miles uphill, both ways in hip deep snow for an education.” Grandpar- ents also like to get a piece of the action, one famed Granny had this to say, “Girlie, when I was young and had to go to school only owned one dress. I had to wash it ev- ery day when I came home, just so could wear it dean to school.

They tended to forget that winter was good for something. The joy of skiing for one. Not too many people liked the fact of putting on big boots and locking them- selves into skis, but it real- ly was very enjoyable. Sled riding was another big sport. Alot of crazy kids jumped on big plastic sleds and flew down hills like nothing. Those of you who thought winter was a big drag, should have brightened up and tried these crazy, enjoyable, but sometimes cold sports.

If you guessed the T.C.H.S. girl's bathroom you hit the nail on the head. The smoke alarms obviously had no affect. Every girl that walked out of the small restroom could have been a walking Marl- boro advertisement. The restrooms were thor- oughly cleaned daily but always filthy after a full day of use. One almost had to carry a knife to cut the smoke in order to find the sink. The girls were usually able to reach a ha- ven in the second hall un- til last year. Then Miss Harman's classes became a blessing- a clean bath- room was anything short of a miracle. If the walls could talk they probably would have only dreams of the dean air they once had and are begging to get back. Literally, falling asleep between classes.

School and regular homework seemed so endless-but you knew that the dreaded day would soon be upon you. When you had to unclog your ears and brush away the cobwebs that accu- mulated over the past months to take the annu- al semester exams. You were so used to studying for tests where your memory clicked on only long enough to get you through the test and then you'd forget what you studied for in the first place. Then, suddenly, you had books and study sheets that stacked all the way to the ceiling that demanded your complete attention. With ten pages here and twenty pages there you wondered how you would ever survive the next week. You skipped dinner, using those few extra minutes to study and stayed up late at night by drinking coffee, only to wake up in the morning with book marks all over your face. While getting ready in the morning, you tried study- ing but only succeeded in spreading toast crumbs throughout the pages of your book, butter on your study sheets and drop- ping jam all over yourself. With sweaty palms, but- terflies in your stomach and a few patches of hair missing you sat down to take the first morning exam. What would hap- pen if would happen to go blank? You thought to yourself, on the edge of a nervous breakdown. But, as you completed the test you sighed with relief and realized that you didn 't do as bad as you had expected.

Home Work It Was A Habit To Say “I’ll Do It Later.” It seemed like all the teachers were against you as your locker be- came empty and your arms became full. It was a struggle making it onto the bus and off again with- out a massive amount of papers and books sprawl- ing down the aisle. When you finally made it home you dropped everything with a sigh of relief as you stretched your arms to make sure they were still intact. As your eyes drift- ed over the piles and piles of history, English, and math that had to be done by tomorrow, you sud- denly felt drained and promised yourself that you’d do it later. In the midst of your favorite TV program, you drifted off to sleep as you dreamnt of numbers and clauses fighting during the Civil War.

Weekends Friday And Saturday Made The Week Worth Living. The week seemed so long as you sat in the same classrooms day af- ter day and listened to the teachers lecture on something you had no knowledge on because you were to busy day- dreaming. You knew how- ever, no matter how long the week may have been going, Friday was inevita- ble and you couldn 't help but wonder what mischief you could get into. You thought of the parties, dances, the big game, spending time with that special someone or just hanging out with your pals. Whatever you had in mind sounded better than whatever the teacher was saying. 4s the bell rang and you got up to take your weary body to an- other class, you couldn't help but notice the word on everybodies Ups were the upcoming Friday” or “Saturday nights. The enthusiasm showed in their eyes until the bell rang once again and reali- ty came rushing back like a horrible nightmare. Is Friday finally arrived, the weariness and the zombie-like expressions everyone had worn were suddenly gone and the glint of the weekends ac- tivities glowed in the depth of the eyes of ev- eryone in the student body. The halls were alive with chatter, where be- fore it sounded of com- plaints. Friday at last. You had survived another five days of nothingness and you were ready to savor every hour of the WEEKEND!

All week you had waited for the weekend to arrive. No more getting up early to catch the bus to school. No sitting in class- es listening to lectures. Finally, it came, but it seemed like it was over before it began. Through- out the ages they've al- ways said how time flies when you're having fun. Reality hit you like a slap in the face as all the week- end excitement died into an awkard feeling of dread because you knew on Monday morning you 'd have to go back and face the white walls of your own private prison. 4s you got ready for bed, you re- membered to set the alarm clock on the other side of the room because you knew getting up would be a challenge. 4s you boarded the bus, the sleepy faces of other dis- mal-minded students seemed to scream out, “I hate Mondays!

Whatever the case was, tension rippled through the stomachs of all those who were in pos- sible danger of not mak- ing the grade they wanted to. Ever since our school lives began, grades were a major issue if you wanted to get anywhere in life. So, most of us strived to make the grades some- times finding ourselves proud and other times discouraged. But with strong determination and a goal to succeed all of us could make the grades. It must have been a near epidemic, the fear that clutched TCHS hall- ways on report card day. Report cards, the words sounded so hideous, as if it were to bring about the end of the world. For some it did. Facing your parents and handing over your report cards felt like approaching the jury. Im- patiently and nervously you sat awaiting the ver- dict, knowing that at any moment your freedom could be in danger. First, would come the lecture, then the most dreaded moment, they take away the car or phone until the grade comes up.

His spot was already picked out and his suntan lotion was in place. It was time for some serious fun in the sun. The sky was a clear as newly washed windows. There wasn't a cloud in sight. The ocean looked inviting with its waves capped with white foam. One could feel the coolness of the water drawing them nearer as the sun continued to beat down on the hot sands of the beach. Everywhere Biff looked, he saw miles of people soaking up the golden rays. He looked at the water once again and Biff knew that he could no longer stand the heat. To- ward the ocean he ran. Just as he was about to dive in, “Biff, Biff! Please answer the question Suddenly Biff was awak- ened to remember that he was in history class in- stead of where he longed to be.

The range of after school jobs changed from bag- ging groceries to working on cars to cleaning of- fices. Just what was the purpose of having a place to work after leaving school? Most students said that it was the extra money they earned. With their salaries, the working class bought new clothes, tapes, and other necessi- ties. One who carries this extra load had to be able to balance their time be- tween work-work and home-work. If the balance seemed to get uneven, then one had to choose between work and school. Most of the students seemed to have their pri- orities in order because they managed to keep their jobs and maintain their grades in school as well as spend time by themselves or with their friends.

The white cement walls at TCHS have seen the fads, fashions, trends, music, and every other thing imaginable either fade and die away or just change to an extreme extint. When Tucker County High School was first built it saw its fair share of bell bottoms, page-boy haircuts, and the ever popular PLAID. These things died to make room for new and bolder tastes. The arrival of punk rock set the country on its ear, then came softer tunes which was followed by the rap sensation. The old reliable mini- skirt came back with a bang and the turtlenecks your mother insisted upon were brought out of the mothballs. Hairstyles also made some pretty drastic changes. From page-boy to wild to simply outrageous and then back to the good ole ’ bob. They say nothing is forever and the students have seen just about everything come in to style, fade away, and make its major comeback in society.

Barbie Lamson, Donna Parsons, Ruth Pollock, Kathy Reall, and Kim Rosenau gathered together behind the curtain for a last min- ute good luck wish. For their first appearance the ladies modeled the latest fashion in street clothes. Then came the talent part that each lady had poured their hearts and soul into. After weeks of practice the sev- en contestants were prepared to give it their all. Stephanie Carr performed a heart warming song, ' Love in Every Lan- guage by Sandi Patti, in sign language and dedicated it to her classmate Randy Amie. ”Nobody Loves Me Like You Do” by Whitney Houston was brilliantly sang by Liz Flynn. A beautiful piano solo, a Bach fugue, was played by Barbie Lamson. Don- na Parsons put a pleasant sound in the air as she played “Rainbow Connection with her bells. Ruth Pollock brought tears to the eyes of her companions as she sang to them Friends” by Michael W. Smith. Kathy Reall picked up the pace with her vibrant aerobics dance to Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. To wrap the talent perfor- mance up, Kim Rosenau did a terrific job as she portrayed Barbara Streisand in “Second Hand Rose. ” Each contestant answered a previously selected question as they modeled their fabulous evening gowns. After all was said and done, the seven young ladies formed a semi-circle and anx- iously awaited the results. The audience had been a witness to one special night when seven young ladies proved to have good taste in fashions, to be talented, and to think of intelligent answers on the spot. Drum roll please . . . Miss Congeniality, as chosen by her fellow contestants for being kind and overall spirited, was Miss Barbie Lamson; Maid-of-Honor, as selected by the judges according to the performance she gave forth, was Miss Stephanie Carr; and 1987 Queen Daphne XLVII. also se- lected according to performance by a pan- el of judges, was Miss Kimberly D.

BA TTLE OF TUB CLASSES Big iu tpittei comb in The annual Battle of the Class- es, which was started last year, proved to be a success once again. Throughout the halls, signs could be seen and the competi- tiveness of the classes was shown. The Yearbook Staff came up with what they called, Identity Day. This was where each class was given a different color and were to wear it to show their sup- port. The seniors were blue, ju- niors red, sophomores black, and the freshman were gold. Last year the class of 88 won, and the question pondered by most students was would they still hold the title? The seniors were sure they would. They proved to be strong and determined in their ef- forts, but that didn’t seem to be enough. They soon fell behind as the game got underway. The ju- niors' confidence was just as strong. They thought for sure it was their turn to win. They did win most of the games and were largely ahead. The sophomores tried their best but they seemed to be no match and their points were slowly scored. The fresh- man weren't thought of to be much competition and were tak- en lightly. Each team tried their best and gave every game their all. No matter who was in the lead during the game the final decision of the team to emerge victor was to be determined by the Tug of War. Anticipation ran through ev- eryone as they got ready to show their strength. There was a weight limit for the Tug of War which was exceeded by the ju- niors and they were disqualified. The seniors came in third as the sophomores came in second. To everyone's surprise the freshman won the Tug of War and when the scores were added up they came out ahead. So as some say the quiet ones are full of surprises as the Battle of the Classes title went to the freshman. It proved to be another exciting and chal- lenging event with an astonishing outcome.

Daddy afwayk laid nottany good happtok aft c uddtugkt DADDY WAS WRONG - PROM 88' Dozens of would-be-cinderella's snubbed their Daddy's advice as they dashed off on the arm of their Prince Charming ready to break curfew if necessary. Still photo-shocked and half blinded by flash bulbs, they staggered into the gym to be welcomed by bright and extravagant decora- tions. Even after dancing the ma- jority of the evening away at the 1988 Junior-Senior prom, the spirit that moved all those await- ing the moment to “cut loose” could not be detained. Plans were being made about where to meet after the prom. These plans were to live it up one more time or the final bash with the crew of 88'. Anxious and ea- ger to get to the rendezvous spot, everyone hurriedly stopped oft somewhere to “ditch” those prim, proper clothes and replace them with good oT partying a ttire, jeans, sweatshirt, and tennis shoes. Though the days of being high school kids or hanging around with your senior pals were nearing the end, no frowns were shown that night in the mist of the celebrating. Anybody present at the prom or the after-prom bash could clearly tell that the crew and the crowd around the class of 1988, “Never Tuckered Out!!!” 106 - Prom Oops! “Where's a Prince when you really need one ? , asks senior Ann Dearborn as her rush to become a “Shadow of the Night leaves her abandoned to search for her lost “slipper .

Over a hundred somber seniors stood in line with only a few min- utes until the long-awaited diplo- ma was theirs. At that point the memories were flooding over a hundred minds. Hey Lynn, re- member that time we danced on my roof?” “Yeah Kel, that was a riot!” On and on the voices traded memories across the soon to be empty halls that had once echoed loudly with the hustling and bus- tling of the Class of 88'. There were many special things that will never be forgotten by this class or any other: the fights, the heart- breaks, the proms, and their first love—yes, the geek in the year- book with a heart by his or her face. Their high school days were fading into memories only to be treasured. Salutorian Daved Hansford and Valedictorian Wendy Hebb are filled with glee as they attend a banquet in Elkins for the areas 'top grads. ’ 110 - Graduation “College ?! Don’t make me laugh, says Penny Streets as she steps onto stage to get her diploma. “See.

Basking on the beach, class sponsor, Coach Gutshall and Edie Sheppard soak up some rays during the senior trip to Daytona Beach in Florida. Graduation - 111 “It’s this way. assures Brenda Dilly. “I'm not so sure Brenda, where are the bread crumbs we left? questions Liz Flynn as they search the hotel for the rest of the senior class. “Not exactly a rose between two thorns is he?” asks Denise Roy to her comrade in crime Dee Dee Lester while David Hansford is left searching for the humor. 112 - Graduation Gnaduatim SS Is many were adjusting their caps and gowns, others were memorizing and rehearsing speeches. The magic moment had finally arrived. The seniors filed into the gymnasium. Cam- eras flashed. The speeches whizzed by, it was time for the certificate that says they passed with flying colors or at least sur- vived student life at TCHS. Mom and Dad, brothers, sisters, grand- parents, and relatives they didn't even remember had all come to see “Baby graduate.

But whichever way they may have gone let them have remembered this. It was once written (just now), “Good luck on the journey before you and don't forget the poor saps you left behind. Oh gosh there are so many people. I hope don't fall! April Trader nervously exclaims. Graduation -113 AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS undraiser .... the word stung like a slap in the face. L Organizations tended to use the word quite often and f students jumped almost automatically. Different dubs and organizations had different ploys used to raise their need- ed money but due to the spirit of the members quite a few dollars were raised. The FHA brought the North Pole's most famed celebrity down from his home to pose for photos with TCHS students. The enthusiastic group also sold balloons for St. Patrick's Day, the mums for Homecoming, the carnations for Valentine's Day and held their annual computer match-up. The FBLA sold ink pens and various other things to increase their bank account. The Yearbook staff sold ads to local busi- nesses for their 1988 edition, sold the books themselves, sold popcorn during the very busy lunch hour and held car washes to restore the funds which seemed to be all soaked up. While these other organizations were rushing about doing their thing the Tucker County High School Band was busy selling their Easter candy. Even with the Class fundraising students had to do they stood by their chosen organizations and NEVER TUCK- ERED OUT. Given a little break from making money the TCHS band marches through the 1987 Firemen's Parade. 116 • Organizations Divider THE CORE TEAM 1st row; D. Jones. D. Reese. D. St. Lewis. K.

He was the first and foremost change. The band also saw some new members as well as the trusty, old ones. Dur- ing the 1987-88 school year the band members saw the pride come back. With size increase came bet- ter sound and a variety of instru- ments. Once again the band played at basketball games and cakewalks. Rhonda Easter transferred from Ripley High School, and she added a great deal of pride and action to the band through her terrific ma- jorette skills. Among her talents were twirling fire, dancing to the music of the band while twirling a baton, and amazing the Tucker County fans with her outstanding stunts. The Tucker County High School Band made some great improve- ments and they proudly said “the pride is back. k . Organizations -119 JR. VIC A: D. Simmons, D. Metz. T. Gatto. C. Nelson, J. Thompson. E.

Cheerleaders are just what the name implies- leaders. At half time when the team 's down 0-14. their the ones who rally the team (and crowd) to help the team pull ahead to a 21 -20 victory. You can pick a cheerleader out of the crowd very easily. They tend to be constantly hap- py. always talking on and on about the blow out game the night before. Always dressed in black and gold, they skip down the hall humming the Mt. Lion fight song. Enthusiasm is their middle name. There is no stopping these females when it comes to giving the team and the fans all they've got. With the perfect hair, make up. and figure, a cheerleader will preside as president of one dub or another. A cheerleader will make sure that the club strives to be the best community ser- vice dub in school. Cheerleaders can frequently be seen in study hall explaining the Scarlet Letter to some be- reft junior. Later that day the ju- nior will be heard calling her an angle of mercy . Again seventh period, you'll find her in Ad- vanced Biology leading the class in answering questions. Cheerleaders are some of the most important people in our school. They lead us in support- ing the Mt. Lions. Without them we would never be able to en- courage the Mt. Lions as we do and show the world that the Mt. Lions are Never Tuckered Out! 120 - Organizations FHA JUNIORS: Rachelle Simms, Cheryl Fowler. Lynnette Wilox, Tonya Roy. Chris Pa ugh Second Row; Mrs. Cooper. Nancy Akins. Tracy Hamner. Diane Howl.

To the people that never ski it seemed crazy to go freeze, but to the skiers it was a time of pleasing excitement and love the pure delight. After the skiers finally reached the ski slopes, they walked up to the ski lift and felt the cold breeze. They knew it was even colder on top of the mountain. They jumped off the ski lift and started down the slope. They turned left and right. some turns better than others. They kept the center of gravity and equal amount of pressure on both feet to maintain perfect edge control. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they wondered whether or not they should go back up or go inside. No one knew exactly why but they always re- turned to the top for an- other new experience that came with every run and every turn. Snow was dream come true for the skiers of Tucker County.

Amy Marsh STUDENT COUNCIL Making improvements at TCHS. The 1987-88 Student Council had a very busy year. They spent their time finding new and cre- ative ways to improve school life. The first task they un- dertook was replacing the old school sign which was said to have been de- stroyed by the weather, but rumors said it was de- stroyed by a rival team. The new sign is encased in brick with the school mas- cot imprinted on the front. The motto on the sign is “Tucker County High School, Mountain Lion Country.” The sign was built by students of the building construction class. The students who spent a considerable amount of time at the site were Kevin Corcoran, Scott Wagner, Billy Hunt. Arch Amie, and Kenneth Mallow. Another project was the addition of colorful billboards that were add- ed to the drab, white walls. The Student Coun- cil received $250 a year for putting up the billboards. Throughout the year Student Council improved school life. 124 - Organizations FBLA: Lesley Parsons. Kris Fink. Mike Moore. Kelli Tucker. April Trader. Wendy Hebb. Teresa Williams. Kelly Phillips.

Organizations - 125 rucker County has seen more than its fair share of changes over the past ten years. It seems as though the consolidation of the county's high schools was just the beginning of a long string of changes destined to affect the people of Tucker County. This has contributed to the uniting of this area's people into what can only be called a community. This community worked together recovering from the heart- break and devastation of the Flood of 85’. People from all over the country came to assist in the clean-up and relocation ef- forts. Neighbors help one another and the true meaning of the word ‘friend’ shone out like a candle in the dark. Citizens donated clothes, food, and gifts for the up and coming Christ- mas holiday. Unity seemed to be the word to best describe the small rural area. The West Virginia State Police were also a source of change in the community. The local branch relocated their office. The office moved from its house at Tucker County High School to the Parsons City Hall. Communities in both the Davis-Thomas and Parsons area wanted the barracks relocated in their towns. Our county has also stood together in support of our outstanding athletic teams including: Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Baseball, Golf and Track. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, this community has banned together to conquer the latest challenge. Through it all our community has NEVER TUCKERED OUT. NEVER TUCKER OUT! Members of the community join forces to cheer our football team to victory at the beginning of an extremely successful season. 126 Community Divider The ‘Puddle Jumper’ stirs things up a bit at the four-wheel drive races at their new location.
