Young. 4 As the Editor of the “Paw I tried to put a lot of my time in to make it a good yearbook for everyone. I could not do everything myself so that is why there are other people on the Annual Staff. Many thanks to Miss Herndon for her help. She has been a lot of inspiration to me and all of the other Annual Staff members. I would like to say thanks to Alice Johansen for the time she spent on the yearbook. I hope she gets all of the cooperation I got. She will have a lot of hard working people like Shonna Skaggs, Lauri Lane, our photographer, Cathy Cavender, and Rajonia Chapman our giggler. These Juniors put in a lot of hard work. The Sophomores on the Staff put in equal time. Diann Ireland and Lori Bell are hard workers and they will learn a lot more about putting a book together and I hope they will use their knowledge to their full potential. The one's on the Staff that will be leaving are Bill Hendricks who has been our photographer for three years. Mary Hill who has been on the Staff for two years and Janet Young who has learned a lot for being on it only one year. We have tried to express what each picture told us. It is not a very easy job but it is a lot of fun. I surely hope you enjoy what we have put together for you. This yearbook is for everyone, not just those who participated in either sports or clubs. No goal is too high If we climb with Care and confidence 5 OUR 1977-78 PAW IS DEDICATED TO MR. MILLER AND MR. STINNET OUR CUSTODIANS The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but rather what he becomes by it. IN MEMOR Y OF AL SARTAIN We part with our loved ones but not forever If we trust God's promise and doubt it never! 7 . . . Helen Steiner Rice ADMINISTRATION L. C. Umphress; D. Bell; J. Flannery; R.
