Sandspur Valdosta High School 3101 N. Forrest St. Valdosta. Georgia 31602 Volume 47 Have you ever taken a moment to look upon your school life? Of course you have. There are many ways to look upon something. On the first day of school many students had to look beyond the halls full of people for directions and classroom numbers. Every day students peered into their lockers and took out books that were later looked into for some kind of mystical knowledge. On picture day students took a last look into the mirror to make final touches. Final touches were also made when one looked over that five para- graph theme for English class. Drama students looked over their scripts while others just looked out for that special someone. Friday was the day that was looked forward to. It brought pep rallies and the coming of a football game. Football players took one last look at the play and the coach before going out onto the field. On the other hand, there were the baseball players who looked for signals while up at bat. There was also one day, the day that yearbooks were passed out, that students had the chance to look back at the previous year after the door closes at the previous year. They had the chance at one more look. Shane Burroughs views a radarscope aboard the U.S.S. Barie in Washington DC.

A major dimension of taking a good look pertains to your perspective. Webster defines it as the apperance of an object to the eye. But what you see is not always all there is. If you look straight at a pencil from the point, you do not always see all there is. Yet you know that there is much more. You could call it the “Big Picture”. By viewing only one per- spective you may not even be able to detemine what the object or, in a broader sense, what the situation is. By seeing the “Big Picture” you are in control. It is similar to being back stage at a play. You know all that is happening while the audience only knows one side. With this backstage knowl- edge you have an advantage over the audience. The audience sees what they believe to be real yet, they cannot be certain until the end when all the sides are shown. The backstager knows all the aspects and therefore can make a reasonable judgement on what is good or bad, true or false, or even real or imaginary. Those that see only one perspective or dimension believe what they see is real yet what is truly real is the full view, the “Big Picture”. Opening 5 Emotions Affect One’s Outlook Taking a last look not only involves the things one sees but also the emo- tions that one feels. An emotion can be as or even more memorable than the event that caused it. There can be emo- tions of exhileration from scoring a 100 on a Calculus exam, or even of agony from not making the winning touch- down. There may also be emotions of happiness from winning a beauty pa- gent, or the sorrow of losing a dear friend. Whatever the emotion is, it may directly affect the memories of life.

College Bound . .. It’s Not Just Seniors When the words “College Bound” are brought up in conversation, one tends to think only of Seniors. It is true that the question of college is a big part of a senior’s life but there are other students that are affected. A senior’s life is consumed by school, outside activites, and possibly a job but the little time that is left is spent pre- paring for what he will do after gradu- ation. For those that choose college, their time is used in writing for informa- tion, filling out applications, and writing essays. These students also must take either the SAT or the ACT. Many start as Juniors by taking the PSAT and then taking the SAT in the spring of the same year. The Guidance Office is the school’s aid for those looking toward college. Here a student can gain information on the different universities, financial aid programs, and scholarships. The Guid- ance Office has expanded its services by incorporating a computer system that provides information at the stu- dent’s fingertips. The school also gears students for college by offering college-prep and ad- vanced placement coures for Fresh- man, Sophomores, Juniors, and Sen- iors. The students have the chance to place out from college coures if they do well on the AP Exam offered by each AP class. Now all that is left to do is choose a university and wait for their final decision. Student Life 11 Dream Car, No Car, or Does Mom Drop you Off? Destination: Valdosta High School For students who used the Valdosta High bus system, rise and shine time came much too early. They frantically raced about to prepare for school and rushed about to catch the bus only to arrive at school 30 minutes early. Other students however, blessed with their own car or a friend with a car, raced down Northside or Perim- eter breaking time and space barriers in order to reach school at exactly 8:01 in approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Still others whose parents chauf- fered them to school woke to the sound of “Hurry up! I’m gonna be late for work!” Many of these students were underclassmen anxiously awaiting the big 16 when they could finally take their driver’s test Billy Hamilton and Mark Daughtrey talk as they get out of the car. 12 Student Life On The Job With ... Has it ever occurred to you why the hallways are less crowded after lunch? Well, it is because many of the students leave at either 12:00, 1:00, or 2:00. The way that these students can leave without being in trouble is that each of them has a job. Valdosta High School provides pro- grams to provide experience for it’s students in the working world. Yet, many students manage to find employ- ment on their own. But why work? The reason for working can stem from many things, for example, want- ing to receive a stubstantial cash flow or just growing up and taking on a new responsibility. Most that work just like knowing they have a little spending money in their pocket. However, some students may save this newly earned money to pay for college, to buy that new car , or to spend on a special night like prom. All that is left for the student to do is just try to keep the job. Rosalyn Thompson uses her time to arrange the silk flowers at the World Bazaar At her father’s office.

Well, one could simply take a look at the students of Valdosta High School. Fashions create the diverse look of those attending VHS. Each person’s stlye is depicted in his or her fashion state- ment. For some, what seems to be “out’ of style is the most “in” style. This year girls adopted the outfit of a mini-skirt with long johns underneath. Of course, this was to the dismay of the male population. Also all styles of lace up boots and leather Bomber jackets were at the top of many Christmas lists. Denim was “in” with the guys. There was faded denim, colored denim, and stone-washed denim. Looks for the guys ranged from preppy to jock to the “Lost Boys”. Juniors. Christine Wilkinson and Wendi Wilder, wear the latest demin fasions during a lunch break. Mrs. Julia McDonald wears an interesting Math teachers show their true ideas of “in' outfit for Tacky Day. fashion at the Homecoming pep rally. Student Life 17 Going Where No Cats Have Gone Before Homecoming 1987 at Valdosta High School blasted off with the theme “Space- the Final Fontier.’’ Adventur- ous students took an active part by dressing up each day leading up to the traditional Homecoming Pep Rally. 8:00 a.m. Friday found the gym packed with alien-looking students. Teachers dressed as California Raisins and computers. Every class made signs and competed to show spirit for their section. The Senior class won the spirit stick. Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., the Homecoming parade began. Many stu- dents had worked hard on their class floats. In the rush to get their float to the parade, the Sophomore class backed their’s into a tree! As a result the entry in the parade was a pickup truck. However, the Senior Class won the Best Float” award with their entry “Going Where No Cats Have Gone Be- fore”. 18 Student Life Photo by Karen Burroughs VICA Parlimentarian, Kevin Breeden, picks up FHA shows it’s school spirit by marching in the balloons while dressed as Spock. parade.

Cats Reach For The Stars Pregame festivities, which started at 7:30 Friday October the 23rd, fea- tured the Homecoming Court and the crowning of Erica Miller as Homecom- ing Queen. Also honored were the Sen- ior football players, cheerleaders, drill team members, and band members with thier parents. A large Homecoming crowd watched the Marchin’ Cats half-time show and the Wildcat victory of 35 to 0 over Colquitt. Culminating a busy Homecoming week was the Homecoming Dance. The traditional site of the dance, Mathis Auditorium, was not available this year. The dance was instead held in the Valdosta Junior High cafeteria which was decorated along with the theme of “Space- the Final Frontier”. Students and their dates danced until 12:00 to the music of Glow. Junior Sissy Anderson prepares for blast off. Heather Skyles, Angie Kinneman, and Edye Bostock warm up before marching in the parade.

Student Life 21 Winnersville Unites Rivals Winnersville symbolizes a spirit of goodwill and competi- tion between Valdosta High School and Lowndes High School. Taking place the week of November 9-13, Winners- ville began with the Annual Parade. Attended by a large part of the community, the parade turnout indicated the involvement of the entire city in Winnersville events. Despite rivalry between schools, the coaches and cheer- leaders of the opposing teams put aside their differences to celebrate the week long tradition. The Valdosta High School basketball cheerleaders and the Beta Club and Student Council from Lowndes High School contributed to the festivi- ties by selling balloons of their school colors before the game. These balloons were released enmass at the kickoff of the game. The week of Winnersville ended victoriously when Valdosta High School defeated Lowndes High School ten to seven. Drill team member Sharon Patrick marches at attention during the Winnersville parade. Band members Penny Little, Kesha Williams. Shantel Watson, Michelle Priest.

Student Life 23 Generosity Comes From The Heart For the fifth year in a row, generosity came straight from the heart, through the veins, and into the American Red Cross’ blood bank. On February 26,1988 one hundred and twenty-five students, six teachers, and a few of the administrators voluntarily donated blood to the American Red Cross, which is based in Savannah. The student donation was an increase of fifteen students over last year. Ninety- three percent of the one hundred and twenty-five students were first time donors. This percentage was the highest in all the years that Valdosta High has been involved in the blood drive. Before the Red Cross came to Valdosta, they had a very low supply of blood especially types B and O, but when the day was over the blood bank had eighty- eight usuable pints and many pints which were to be used in chemical research. All the blood donated that day stayed in Lowndes County and was put to some kind of use. Several organizations within the school helped out during the blood drive. The Y-Club promoted the drive by putting up posters and talking it up among friends. The members of the club also preregistered the students during both lunch periods. The ROTC cadets had many duties. They escorted the students to and from the donor tables, carried the blood packs to the refrigerated units, and set up the canteen, which offers juice and cookies to the donors in order to replenish their blood sugar levels. The health occupation students were very important people during each one hour donation period. The students helped during registration, took blood pres- sure, temperature, and pulses, and most importantly ran the pack table, which is where the donors receive their sterile needle and blood pack. The generosity of giving blood shown by the Valdosta High donors not only benefitted the American Red Cross, but it left the students with a good feeling in their hearts. Health occupation student Karen Kuter takes the blood pressure of senior June Gartman at one of the many tables where the students are tested before their blood can be given. Sophomore Shelby Niece hides her face before the needle is injected. Senior Victoria Cooper relaxes while the Red Cross personel prepares her for the blood donation. 24 Student Life Senior Catherine Minter prepares one of the sterile packages before the students arrive at the pack table, which is the last table before the students donate their blood. Red Cross personel Marsha Stevens from Savannah straps the blood pressure band around the arm of senior Brian Harris in order to find the most suitable vein for the blood donation. Seniors Missy Martin and Pam Vincent receive instructions from volunteer Mrs. Bob Hendrix at the recovery canteen. Junior Jason Bridges holds his arm up in order to give the blood time to clot. Freshman R.O.T.C. cadet Grant Hollenbeck processes the blood before it is put into the refrigerated units. Student Life 25 Wish Fulfilled for Queen The foundation for the 1988 Miss V.H.S. pageant was the theme “On the Edge of A Dream.” Sponsored by the Junior class, the beauty pageant was held at Mathis City Auditorium on the evening of April 23, 1988. Twenty- eight young ladies competed for the title of Miss Valdosta High School. The Masters of Ceremonies for the night were Keri Kirby and Jason Bridges, the president and secretary of the Junior class. The contestants were judged in two areas of competition. The evening gown presentation was first and was followed by entertainment provided by Laura McMillan, Dexter Mitchell, and Natwashiel Tumbling. When the girls had changed, they were judged in their casual wear. While the judges were selecting the top ten semi-finalists, Nanci Nichols and the group “Diamonds In the Rough” made their debuts. After the judges had narrowed the contestants down to five finalists, the last phase of competition began. These girls were then judged on their reply to a question about their plans for the fu- ture or their activities at school. Junior Jennifer Notley was an- nounced the winner after she ex- plained her involvement in the Adopt- A-Grandparent Program, which is sponsored by the Interact Club. The runners up included Micayle Williams, Andrea Dominey, Cathy Yale, and Amy Harrell. Other awards given during the pag- eant were Miss Congeniality, which is voted on by her peers, to Tracy Jones and the financial award to Wendy Wilder for promoting the pageant most successfully. Junior Samantha Mitchell intently watches her competition before she is presented to the judges in her casual wear. The Runners up. Andrea Dominey. Amy Harrell.

Student Life 27 Dreams Turn To Reality On the Edge of a Dream was this year’s theme for the Junior-Senior Prom. The dance, which is sponsored by the junior class each year, was held at the Elks Lodge on May 7, 1988. This year, Coach Davis presented Miss VHS and her court with their dates in a spotlight dance. An addition to this year’s Prom was the election of a Prom King and Queen. The second runners up were Ashley Moorman and Stephanie Culverhouse. Also, the first runners up were Andy Anderson and Nanci Nichols. And this year’s Prom King and Queen were Ber- nard Hitson and Erica Miller. The freshmen student council mem- bers dressed up in 1950 styles to go along with this year’s theme, “On the Edge of a Dream.” These student council members served refreshments to the tired couples who were exhaust- ed from dancing to the continous hits of Glow. The King and Queen of the Prom, Bernard Hitson and Erica Miller, smile about their new honor. Nominee’s for Prom Queen are Melanie Meeks, Tracy Lees, Stephanie Gupton, Stephanie Culver- house, Melanie Dennard, Margaret-Ann Sineath, Erica Miller, and Nanci Nichols.

Student Life 29 Party At Mickey’s Place Once again the world’s largest graduation celebration was at Mickey’s Place — Walt Disney World. On May 20 most graduating seniors were eagerly anticipating their arrival at Grad Nite ’88, an all-night party hosted by Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The first destination for the gradu- ates was the Blast-Off-Party in Tomor- rowland. For the first two hours most seniors received their free meal and photograph and took advantage of the short lines at Space Mountain. At 9:00 P.M. the rest of the park was opened and the bands began to play. Concerts were performed all night by entertainers such as Run D.M.C., Ex- pose’, Michael Bolton, Force MD’s, and Club Nouveau. At around 5:00 A.M. the all-night celebration began to decline and sen- iors took their last look at Grad Nite '88. However, the traditional Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and Mickey Mouse ears remind each graduate of the party of the year—at Mickey’s Place.

Special Olympics Makes Special Olympics provides a year-round program of athe- letic training and competition for the mentally handicapped, regardless of ability. Within each of the 17 areas in Georgia, the Special Olympics atheletes compete first locally be- tween schools and next between the counties in each area. Valdosta High School students practiced about twice a week to prepare. Students trained first for winter sports competition in basketball, bowling, and floor hockey. The Valdosta High School floor hockey team travelled to Califor- nia for competition, accompanied by Mrs. Faith Cooper and Mrs. Sandy Bonner. Later, preparation for the spring sports began with track and field, gymnastics, volleyball, soccer, and weight lifting. At Area competititon on April 15th, twenty-five Special Olympians from Valdosta High School participated. The volleyball team and the soccer team won first place, and atheletes competing in track and field won awards ranging from first to fourth place. Four Valdosta gymnasts, Tashia Armstrong, Ladon Moore, Lashawn Moring, and Sabrina Paige, vied with Special Olympics atheletes from all over Georgia on May 27-28 in Atlanta. 32 Student Life Special Olympics athelete Bo Atkinson waits with Mrs. Jacquita Lee for his turn to compete at Area competition.

Special Games For Special Olympians On Friday and Saturday, the 20th and 21st of November, the Special Olympics were held. Those participating in Friday’s events met at Jac’s Bowling Lanes, where they competed in bowling from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. At the end of the day each participant received an award for his efforts. On Saturday, the partici- pants met at the new VSC gymnasi- um. They then paraded to the old VSC gymnasium, where they com- peted in basketball oriented drills. Such drills were the bounce pass, the rebound, dribbling, and shoot the hoop. The Key Club and Y-Club, two of Valdosta High’s organizatios, donnated thier time to help adminis- ter and support not only the Special Olympics itself but also the competi- tors. While Melanie Dennard, Meredith Stanland. Laurie Parramore, and Beth Edwards keep watch over the games.

Student Life 35 Seniors Practice To Perfect Friday morning was hectic for most of the class of 88’. Seniors had to meet at 7 o’clock in the morning for gradu- ation practice. It began with the assign- ing of rows and seats. After each senior had their seat, they practiced sitting and standing as a row. Later certain rows practiced walking to the stage and receiving a diploma. Once that was finished, the rows marched out into the rooms in which they were to wait that night before graduation. The seniors proceeded in and practiced sitting and standing once again. After practice was over the seniors had the day off to get things ready for the actual graduation.

Graduates Share Memories On Friday June 3rd, the graduating class of 1988 met at the VSC PE Complex at 7:00 in order to march by 8:00. The commencement began with the proces- sion of the seniors. After the invocation by the third honor graduate, Greg Leong, the speeches were given.The theme of the speeches was time. Brian Mueller spoke about the past, Todd Peterson spoke about the present, and Anne Clark spoke about the future. Once the speeches ended, a group of seniors sang “Friends”. Then Mr.William Aldrich rcognized the Honor Graduates and called each senior to receive his diplo- ma. The commencement was closed with the benediction by Kevin Elliott and the moving of the tassles from the left to the right. 38 Student Life Mr. Fred McLeod makes final adjustments to Bernard Hitson’s mortarboard.

Each of us has the chance to look back upon a time of being a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior that makes each class special. Seniors 42 Juniors 68 Sophomores 98 Freshmen 108 Portrait Closing 118 Seniors Take Last Look On June 3, 1988, the seniors of Valdosta High took their last look at many friendships and accomplish- ments gained during high school. Both the tears and the cheers reflect the good times shared and the ones yet to come. Some of these great memories in- cluded ordering senior jerseys, party- ing all night at Disney, and dancing 'til midnight at the Prom. Homecoming was a perfect example of how the class of ’88 dominated. The seniors not only won the spirit stick dur- ing the peprally, but “Rover, the Sen- ior Moon Vehicle” took first prize in the float competition. The week climaxed when Erica Miller was proclaimed Homecoming Queen. Another highlight of the year oc- curred when the seniors got to enjoy the Wildcat’s third victory over Lowndes in four years. One of the most exciting events for the Seniors was the ordering of caps and gowns and souveniers from Jos- tens. Yet for some these signs of gradu- ation were a little scary. When graduation finally brought the year to a close, the class of ’88 separat- ed. Many ended the year with a cruise or a beach trip while others chose to get a head start on the future by earning a few college credits in summer school or by raising a little spending money for the summer. For some, the last look has not yet been taken because yearbooks and re- unions wait to reunite this class of ’88.

Juniors avidly supported the Wildcats at pep rallies and all the games throughout the season. Juniors enfoyed supporting their school during Homecoming week. Many gathered to build and decorate the class float which was named first runner up in the contest. The Junior year is a very important year in a students high school career. Juniors enjoyed every minute of it. Many juniors received their class rings and this was a reminder that they were finally considered upperclassmen. They were more aware of their college standings when they received their PSAT scores. Juniors realized that career decisions and their futures were right around the corner.

Juniors 97 A Turning Point Is Reached The sophomore year of high school was a turning point for most students. It meant they had made it through some of the toughest courses in high school. They were required to take such courses as Algebra II, Geometry, World History, and Biology. Each stu- dent also had to take and pass the Ba- sic Skills Test. Though constantly pinpointed as un- derclassmen, Sophomores contributed greatly to school activities by attending football games, winning the spirit stick, and taking part in extracurricular ac- tivities. During the week of homecoming, the sophomores showed strong determina- tion in the building of their homecoming float; unfortunately, they were unable to compete because their float hit a tree. Sophomores were represented at the homecoming pregame festivities by Sonya French and Simone Allen.

Although en- tering high school was a step up in the world, it was also a step down in status. Looking back over the year, freshmen made up for their lack of status in many ways. Their enthusiasm during pep rallies enabled the freshmen to capture the spirit stick. The junior varsity cheer- leaders and the ninth grade football team combined their determination and hard work to continue the Valdosta High winning tradition. This year, the freshman class was represented in the Homecoming Court by Tiffany Minchew and Marcia Tucker. Freshman Student Council members also represented their class at the Junior-Senior prom by serving in the refreshment line.

Students Display Variety Many differences existed between the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes at Valdosta High School. Each class had separate re- sponsibilities and privileges that they fulfilled during the year. Seniors finally obtained the privi- leges that they had looked forward to since entering high school, but along with these came many unforseen re- sponsibilities. For those seniors in D.E. or D.C.T. who left school early, the ex- hilaration of getting out before their peers was coupled with the responsibil- ity of keeping a job. The privilege of exempting final exams influenced many seniors to strive for good grades and attendance in order to be eligible for exemption. The excitement of graduation-Grad Night, ordering caps and gowns, and receiving a diploma- also brought a sense of finality and the realization that they would now be re- sponsible for planning their own future. Juniors, also beginning to consider the future, were still concerned with the everyday highs and lows of high school life. Many students prepared for applying to college by taking the PSAT and later, the SAT. Juniors were also active in student life, however, planning both the Miss V.H.S. Pageant and the Junior-Senior Prom. They also received their class rings at the begin- ning of the year, which visibly signified their new status as upperclassmen. Sophomores, although still slightly unsure of their standing, became more active in school functions this year. They were, as tenth-graders, able for the first time to participate in many different clubs and sororities. The sophomore year also held the chal- lenge of passing the Georgia Basic Skills Test as required by state law. For some students, the challenge of a biol- ogy project completed during second semester was an exciting learning ex- perience, while for others it was a slow torture. Many sophomores were able to get their driver’s license, representing a new freedom. As freshmen started their first year of high school, they were both fearful and eager to assume new responsibil- ities. Days before school began, fresh- men accompanied older friends to Val- dosta High School to rent a locker, buy an l.D. card, and find their name on the list of homerooms. They faced an in- crease in homework and study time, but were also offered many extra-cur- ricular activities, such as ninth-grade football, junior varsity cheerleading, wrestling, basketball, and baseball. For many freshmen, the challenge of bal- ancing extra-curricular participation and school work was a task not to be taken lightly. 118 Portraits Juniors Leslie Hiers, Meredith McMillan, Emily Broome, and Pam Hoover enjoy oral reports in their English class.

Everett in conjunction with Valdosta builder Stephan Fagan Ful- gam, the Converse-Dalton-Ferrell House was completed in 1902 for Lowndes Countian Thomas Briggs Converse Sr. whose land provided its lumber. The family of 13 children lived there until 1915 when they moved to a new house; it became a boarding house until sold in 1923 to O.D. Dalton who lived there with 10 children and rented rooms through the 1950’s. The Valdos- ta Junior Service League bought the house in 1982 from the heirs of Emma Mae Ferrell Dalton and Miss Vallie Fer- rell. It was placed on the National Reg- ister of Historic Places in the spring of 1983. The Neoclassical house is exception- al for it size, the range, scale and elabo- rateness of detailing and the combina- tion of formailty and informality. Its two-story portice, with paneled wood underneath the front canopy, wraps the front and includes nine two-story wooden Ionic columns and two second floor balconies. Its wreath pattern is carried throughout the house which features: 20-foot-high ceilings, poly- gonal rooms, fireplace mantels differ- ent in each room. 14-foot-high pocket doors, Tennessee curly golden oak wainscoting, Corinthian columns, ban- isters, cornices, lintels, and original sol- id brass door and window hardware. The 12-foot-wide center hall with semi-domed deiling and carved picture molding is partitioned from the utilitar- ian rear of the house by a doorway with center mirror and coatrack. The parlor and music library have removable sash wooden interior louvered blinds and semi-domed ceilings. Throughout the house are pine floors except for the dining room which has an oak floor; it also has a chandelier original to the house and a butler's pantry. The only first floor bath has original plumbing fixtures. The upstairs baths adjoining bedrooms have some original fixtures, and three rooms—the League office and the bedrooms dedicated to the Converse and to the Dalton-Ferrell fa- milies—have original light fixtures. Three other rooms make up the McKey Clinic, named for the Converse family member Dr. Earle McKey who did vol- unteer hearing screening in public schools here. The third floor, a meeting room, was originally a sleeping attic and party room with four alcoves—one each for chaperones, orchestra, refreshments and resting between dances. One of them now houses a staircase to the main floors. The Valdosta Junior Service League, with the support of many in the community, has restored the Con- verse-Dalton-Ferrell House for League uses, for the preservation of an impor- tant part of Georgia history, and as a service to the people of Lowndes Coun- ty- The Senior Superlatives pose in front of the Con- verse-Dalton-Ferrell House.

Honor graduates Kenneth Gonis. Chris Griner, Rhonda Henderson, and Brad Hotard wait for Mr. William Aldrich's signal to sit down. The class of 1988 accomplished many great things during their years at Valdosta High but perhaps their big- gest academic achievement was having more honor graduates than any other class in Valdosta High School’s history. The record breaking number for this group was 43. As in the years before, the stipula- tion for honor graduate status was an overall 5.1 grade point average. This years 3rd honor graduate was Greg Leong, the salutatorians were Brian Mueller and Todd Peterson, and the 1987-88 valedictorian was Anne Clark. This select group enjoyed privileges such as choosing the class song, wear- ing an honorary gold cord, and sitting on the front rows at graduation. How- ever, the biggest benefit of being an honor graduate was receiving an award that recognized four years of hard work.

This question occurs most often when a young person dies. Many of us asked this question as we shared grief in the death of sixteen year old junior, Travis Taylor. Travis died in an automobile accident on January 16, 1988. A passenger in the wreck and an 86 graduate of Valdosta High, Ron Cowart, also died in the accident. The loss of the two boys was felt by the school, classmates, and relatives. The city of Valdosta honored the boys with the building of Taylor-Cowart Memorial Park. What though the radience which once so bright be now forever taken from my sight , though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower; we will grieve not, but find strength in what remains behind “Ode on Intimations of Immortality William Wordsworth “Travis was more than just a friend to me. He was my best friend. Some of the best times of my life were shared with him. Even though he is gone, he will live in my memories forever.” I loves you Travis. Marc Beard. “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I don’t understand why this happened. I’m so sorry. I am trusting in God to take care of you now. No one has ever been as good a friend to anyone as you have been to me. You are a very special person with the ability to love and care so much for others You taught me so much and I was very fortunate to have the time I had with you. Thank you for the friendship you gave me and for being my best friend and big brother. There will always be a special place for you in my heart. I love you and miss you more than you will ever know.” Love always, “MAC Margaret Anne Sineath “Travis meant a lot to me. He was the kind of person who was hard not to get along with. I learned alot from him. I will always miss him and Ron. They’re gone, but my memories of our friendship and good times are still here. My prayers are with their fam- ilies.” Tyler Clifton Travis enjoys fishing in the school’s pond with a few of his Biology classmates. Missy Bentley. Anita Battles. Marnie Freeh. LeAnne Yeager.

After a week of excitement, a list of the council’s thirty-two mem- bers was compiled. Before the new school year began, this select group was hard at work making I.D. cards and preparing a breakfast for the teachers. Their next big event was homecoming. The council planned and announced the dress-up days for the week, the line-up for the parade on Friday, and finally the information about the home- coming dance on Saturday night. This group was up early Saturday morning to decorate the Valdosta Junior High School’s cafeteria so the dance would be perfect in every aspect. Glow pro- vided the music that night. Christmas was another project for the council. They provided a Christmas tree for the lobby and holly decorations to brighten up the lunchroom. Valentine’s day was a celebration for most, but the council was hard at work trying to distribute the flowers and balloons brought to the school. In addition, they surprised the faculty with a candy treat. The council’s biggest money maker this year was May Day. May Day not only helped the group financially, but it provided a way in which the students who bought tickets could break the school rule and wear shorts. For the second year in a row, the council ended the year with their “Countdown Calendar,” which count- ed down the last thirty days of school.

With the begin- ning of a new year, the PAMS club continued the following traditional ac- tivities: sponsored a social for new members, collected donations for re- tarded citizens, participated in home- coming parade, sponsored a Christmas social, and Sweethearts ball. In addition to these traditional activi- ties, the PAMS donated canned goods to the soup kitchen, presented fruit baskets to retired teachers, and collect- ed donations for the Valdosta Reading Clinic Telethon. PAMS also donated an Easter basket and Easter cards to fel- low classmate, Denise Scruggs. More religious activities included their serv- ing as ushers for the annual Martin Lu- ther King Jr. program and their wor- shipping together at the Morning Star Baptist Church. PAMS continued their strive for exellence in the areas of P- Personality, A-Appearance, M-Man- ners, and S-Scholarship and Service. PAMS members. Sabrina Watson. Erica Duck- worth.

Members of DECA elected their offi- cers at a breakfast held at Shoney’s on September 25, 1987. The results wer- e:Stephanie Culverhouse, President; Rad Johnson, Vice-President; Natalie Bishop, Secretary; Gina Hampton, Treasurer; Michele Winfrey, Reporter; Brant Campbell, Sergeant-At-Arms; Anne Wansley, Chaplain; and Susan Burns and Melanie Dennard, Sweet- hearts. As in the past, the D.E. club enjoyed selling the traditional homecoming mums and entering their sweethearts and officers in the homecoming pa- rade. During Winnersville Week, DECA members prepared a display at the South Georgia Regional Fair and beat VICA in the selling of barbeque chick- en meals which were given out before the big game on Friday, November 13. This year the officers traveled to the Hyatt Regency Ravina in Atlanta for an officers training conference on No- vember 6-7. After Christmas the club’s main pri- ority was to perform well at the district competition in Savannah on February 12. Their hard work payed off because every student placed and Valdosta High went home with six first place tro- phies. State competition was held in Atlan- ta at the Gwinnett Place Marriott on the weekend of March 18. The Valdos- ta finalists were: Toby Baskin, first place Marketing Math; Susan Burns, first place Advertising and Lettering; Stephanie Culverhouse, second place Apparrel and Accesories; Catherine Kaiser, third place Prepared Speech; Michele Winfrey, third place Reporter of the Year; and Len Davis, fourth place Food Marketing.

Members attended a Fall Leader- ship Conference, a State Conference in Altlanta and a Region Two Conference in Lakeland. They showed their school spirit by helping with the purchase of the VHS honor board, by sponsoring a student at Camp Adventure 1988, and by purchasing calculators and a printer for the business department. By con- tributing to the Special Olympics, the FBLA showed their community spirit. During FBLA week, members had a teacher appreciation day in honor of the teachers. Other activities of the week included a breakfast at Shoney’s, a skate party at Holiday Skate Palace, and a pizza party at Pizza Hut. Mem- bers also had a jersey day to show club spirit. In honor of their employers, VOT students had an employer appre- ciation banquet. May ninth was the FBLA awards and officer installation banquet.

Organizations 191 Award Winning Cheerleaders From the time tryouts were over in February of 1987, until two months after football season was over, the Var- sity Football Cheerleaders had no rest. Even through the summer of ’87, they practiced. Everyday for weeks, they practiced in the gym at nine in the morning. When the gym was not avai- lable,they hit the YMCA. In July, the cheerleaders attended a National Cheerleaders Association camp in Pensicola.Fla. At camp, the squad won a blue ribbon in competition and a spirit stick everyday. Bayh Brindger and Lynn Stuart were nomi- nated for the All American Cheer- leader Award. Only four girls out of the entire number attending are nomi- nated. Lynn Stuart won the title which is awarded each year to the best all around cheerleader. By winning this award, Lynn was given the chance to cheer at the Hula Bowl in Honalu- lu,Hawaii, but was unable to attend. The squad also won the overall Spirit Award, which is voted on by all the squads attending the camp. Last but not least,the squad compet- ed for and won the Award of Excel- lence, qualifying them to compete in national competition in Dallas.Texas. Unfortunately, the Georgia High School Association does not allow cheerleaders to compete nationally. That did not get them down though. The cheerleaders kept on practicing to attend the Eastern Cheerleaders Asso- ciation competition in Marietta, Geor- gia, in January. Thanks to hours of hard work, the squad now reigns as Georgia State Cheerleading Champi- ons. Teary-eyed Varsity Football Cheerleaders show off their awards as they celebrate their accom- plishments.

Organizations 193 Duties Pin Down Matgirls The Matgirls this year worked hard to support the wrestling team and to encourage a winning attitude. They were selected in early November based on grades and an interview with wrestlers and faculty. The large group of twenty-two allowed the girls to work in alternatng shifts at both home and away matches. Official duties of the girls included preparing the gym for home matches, taking up money, keeping time and score, and running the concession stand. Other important responsibilities were cheering for the wrestlers, taking refreshments to them, and cleaning up the gym after matches. Matgirls ended the season with the trip to Atlanta for AAAA State Cham- pionships, but did not relenquish the title of Matgirl until after the annual “Pig-out held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bill Moorman and the banquet, held in April.

In the winter of 1987, try- outs were held to fill the 6 open posi- tions on the squad. After the girls were chosen, they had morning meetings to order uniforms and receive contracts for program ads. Duties of the batgirls include taking up equipment after the games, work- ing at the concession stand, tending the gates, cleaning the dugouts, and an- nouncing the games. As the baseball season began on March 15th, the work was just beginning for the Batgirls. But with all the work, they found the time to support the Wildcats on to success.

Organizations 197 Sandspur Stresses Creativity and Change Once the 1987 Sandspur was given out In October, the actual produc- tion year for the staff members began. The staff was chosen during the spring of the previous year and with a few meetings, specifications for the book and staff positions were also chosen. In order to finance the 1988 Sandspur the staff was sent out to sell ads. The selling of senior ads and selling spirit cups helped pay the production costs. The printing company was changed from that of the year before. With the new company, came changes in format of production. Through long spent hours and giving up of Saturdays, the staff overcame the changes. With deadlines approaching, the time spent on yearbook in- creased. After much thought the Sandspur staff chose the theme of One More Look”. Once the theme was chosen the hardest part was develop- ing it throughout the book. But with the sole motivation of making a good book the staff worked and overcame these difficulties. Staff positions for 1988 include Melissa Quintero, Editor; Marilois Owens. Deadline; Lara Wetherington, Student Life; Kevin Elliot, Sports; Patrick Carlson. Academics; David Cole, Advertising; Tanya Bennett. Business; Michelle Cutforth, Photographer; Jill Singletary, Portraits; and Meredith McMillan. Organizations. Other staff members include Laura Stump.

Organizations 199 Club Prepares Students The Industrial Arts Club at Valdosta High School lays a firm foundation for the youth who are involved. The club teaches woodworking skills and effec- tively prepares those students who are going on to vocational careers. The club attends church together as a group and also gathers for a pancake breakfast periodically. Many projects are completed by the students during the year.

The Lady Wildcat Softball team made their season debut with a 9-12 record. Seventeen young ladies from grades 9- 12 took to their newly constructed field during the fall, and began practice. All of the regular season games were dou- bleheaders and the Lady Cats saw plenty of action. Ware County was the opponent in the season opener. Both games of the doubleheader ended in defeat for Val- dosta but the girls proved they could hit and field well in a game situation. Colquitt was the first region oppo- nent, and although Valdosta scored more runs than in their previous games, victory was still out of reach. For the third and fourth games of the season, Valdosta Softball went to Doughtery, and there the Lady Cats found two victories. Coach Susan Montgomery credited the team’s victo- ries to many hits and good play in the field. This led to large margins in the scores 15-2, 10-3. Five days after the victories in Doughtery the girls split a doublehead- er with Monroe 0-4, 9-2. Tifton came to Valdosta for the next doubleheader, and left with two over powering wins 0-16, 3-10. The bats for the Cats were just not meeting the ball. In the first game the Lady Cats only accumulated four hits. Errors also played a major roll in the game as Val- dosta complied 21 to Tifton’s 4. Valdosta faced off with Westover the following week, and even though they lost the first game 9-19, the Lady Cats managed to win the second game of the doubleheader 7-6. Berrian won both games of the dou- bleheader played four days later, but if games were based on the swing of the bat, Valdosta would have won. Valdos- ta had 21 hits to Berrian’s 13. The heated cross town rivalry against Lowndes existed even in Soft- ball and the Lady Cats made the High School proud by sweeping the double- header from Lowndes 6-3, 4-2. Surprisingly, the Lady Cats faired very well in their first appearance in a region tournament. The girls won three of five games played and finished third in the region.

Preparation for the new season was no different than from past years. Early morning workouts, the spring game, and summer camp all played roles in keeping the athletes fit both physically and mentally. The same attitude of preparation was exhibited by the ninth grade team. This attitude allowed the ninth grade Cats to win most of their games. Even though the’87 season did not lead to another state or national title, a 12-1 record, the win over Lowndes, the region title, and the signing of football scholarships by several seniors kept with the Wildcat tradition.

Sports 213 Cats Coast Through Season Lack of experience did not slow the Wildcats down during the first half of the season as they accumulated 162 points in their first five games, while allowing their opponents to only 73 points. LaGrange became Valdosta’s first victim, as the Wildcats soared passed the Grangers 40-7 in the season open- er. B.J. Mason scored the first touch- down of the season on a 24 yard run around the right end. Defense was the key against the Redbirds of Fulton. The Wildcat de- fense recovered four fumbles as the team went on to win by a score of 26-7. Waycross came to play on Septem- ber 18. They racked up 29 points on the Wildcats, the most scored on Val- dosta since 1974. The Wildcats re- fused to accept defeat however and won 38-29. Leon came to town Sep- tember 25 and with them came coach Nick Hyder’s 200th win. Despite the close call with Waycross the Wildcats pounced on the Lions 41-20 Usually a powerhouse in the region, Tifton rode into town October 2 and was handed a 17-10 loss by the now 4- 0 Wildcats. With the exception of the last game of the season, the Wildcats had no problems with the last five teams on their schedule, thus keeping their re- gion ranking at number one. Westover became Valdosta’s first shutout of the season as the cats coast- ed by the Patriots by a large margin of 38-0. Reginald Dandy’s 60 yard punt return initiated the Wildcat scoring at- tack. Homecoming offered excitement to Valdosta students. The Wildcats added to the festivities by shutting out the Packers of Colquitt 35-0. The Valdosta offense amassed 285 yards on the ground and 75 through the air. Once more an Albany team came to town on November 6, and once again the Wildcats served their opponents a loss. On one of the coldest nights of the season, Valdosta blew past the Torna- does of Monroe 49-3. There could not have been a more fitting end for a winning season than to beat the cross-town rivals in their own stadium.

Sports 217 Cats Cling To Together Theme In recent years, Valdosta basketball has struggled. The 86-87 season led to a record of 3-20, and unfortunately the 87-88 season offered only one more win over last year’s team. The Wildcats adopted the phrase “Team Together” as their theme for the 87-88 season, and at times that same theme was all the cats had to cling to. The season proved to be a time of rebuilding, and much emphasis was placed on the playing time for the un- derclassmen. Five seniors gave their efforts to the team throughout the season, but in preparation for the 88-89 season, the juniors and sophomores saw plenty of action. Although the Cats did not fair well in region competition, winning only one game from the Packers of Colquitt County, they showed that they had the stamina and desire required to play in Region 1 AAAA. The wins for the Wildcats came against Coffee County, Wakula of Flor- ida, Central of Thomasville, and Col- quitt County. Eventhough the year did not seem prosperous, the varsity ex- perience received by the underclass- men, the undefeated season of the ju- nior varsity, and the super job of the junior high team, proved that in the near future, Valdosta will be a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court The 87-88 Cats take a break from practice to pose for the camera.

Not only was the season somewhat short- ened, but there was an increase in the number of games to be played. These two factors combined to form a tedious season and left little time for between game practice. For starters, the Wildcats played in the annual Berrien County tournament held at VSC’s Billy Grant Field. The team managed to place second in the tournament and began their regular season with a 3-2 record. Throughout the regular season, the Wildcats were plagued by hot and cold streaks. They could never quite seem to get it all together for any extended period of time. The largest winning streak was three games, yet the longest losing streak was only two games. Memorable wins during thje season came against Tifton, 18-3, and Lowndes, who the Cats beat twice 9-4 and 10-3. Although the Cats did not win against Berrien, they did manage to take the 12-0 Rebels into extra in- nings. Region play was no exception to the ups and downs the Cats felt during the regular season. The team played well in the region tournament but lost to both Colquitt 4-7 and Westover 4-10 and finished fourth in the region.

At times there were games in which it seemed no player could dowrong, then again there were games when nothing went right. But whether the Cats were helping an injured teammate, waiting at home plateto celebrate a home run, or pok- ing fun at the coaches, they took every- thing in stride and managed to close out the year with a winning record and many memories.

The girls managed to blow out Thomasville Central 15-0, and then they pulled a big win, 11-2, from Lowndes. A loss to Westover proved to be the start of a trend. The girls managed to sweep both Thomasville Central and Lowndes during the regular season, and finished the year with a 4-3 record. Whereas, the B-Team defeated Thomasville Cen- tral, Colquitt, and Westover. Their only loss came in a second match against Westover. Their final 3-1 record gave hint to the talent that will be present next season. Casually posing for the camera, the girls varsity take a break from practice.

The team members themselves had no problem holding their own on the court, but they could never seem to accumulate enough wins on the same given day to gain many overall team victories. An under five hundred game percentage showed that there was still room for improvement. Posing with their rackets, the boy’s varsity con- sists of: (kneeling) Marc Beard, David Coleman.

Sports 233 Team Has Winning Strokes Golf at Valdosta High School during eighty-eight was par for the season. Not only did the team manage to have a winning record, 5-1, but they also managed to beat cross-town rival Lowndes soundly by at least 20 strokes during one match. Eighty-eight’s team improved greatly as far as season play is concerned. Their 5-1 record easily outdid last year’s 3-6 record. Even though the season was better, the golf team finished only fourth in the region as compared to third in 1987. The eighty-eight golf team poses casually at the country club. The members are (kneeling) Dan Altman, Tommy Roberts. Sam Hogan. Paul Hatcher, Nick McKay, (standing) James Inman, Chris Buesher, Coleman Rudolph, David Cason, and Coach Jack Rudolph.

Joseph 107 The More You See The More You Look At the end of the year, one tends to forget about studying and homework and focuses on summertime and that well planned beach trip. But before you leave take a quick glance at all of the happenings as the year closes. There were the Student Council campaigns. May Day festivi- ties, banquets, and conventions. Other events were Lift America and the Legs Contest which donated money to Special Olympics and Polio Plus. Reminders of actual school work were the last minute research papers and of registering for classes for next semester. Yet there was the Countdowm Calendar that was a constant re- minder that the year was almost over. Once everyone has left the halls of Valdosta High all that will be left are the remembered times. Taking one more look is surely not taking one last look at the past. For each time you look back upon the past year more and more details are recalled. Because The More You Look . . . The More You See Jennifer Notley gets ready to lift weights to raise money for the Special Olympics. Mandy Green. Sheri Whigham. Misti Rowe. Margaret Anne Sineath, Penny Little.
