Noboby Likei ft But vComa Hcu iCfLeauted f-fate, ft Leu f porting events were forced to share the limelight with f academic achievers this past year. 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. Giving it their all. Mrs. Lipscomb's Senior English class listens intently to their beloved leader's wisdom. 34 Academics Divider
