Activities and honors engulfed our students during this Bicentennial year. Many organizations were started in connection with the Brcentennial. One of these was a group of high school students coming from all the Colleton County high schools, called the “Spirits of 76.“ The “Spirits were sponsored by the Colleton County Bicentennial Commission and this organization was the first of its kind in the United States. Another Bicentennial related activity was the local Heritage class, a semester course which focused on what part Colleton County played in the United States history. The members of this class took trips to historical land marks and attended meetings on different aspects of our Colleton County heritage. Our clubs were also very active this year. Besides their normal procedures and club trips, they also participated in Bicentennial projects in the lower state. We can also remember our Bicentennial year as the best year of our sports program. Football, baseball, basketball, track, and the golf teams really outdid themselves. All sports were made exciting with large student participation. Pep rallies showed a lot of spirit due to the contributions of the cheerleaders, players, band, and the entire student body. This was indeed a year we may reflect back on and be proud of ourselves, our accomplishments, and our activities. STUDENT LIFE We're Proud Of It!

Practice for the pageant began in April Judges met the contestants and inter- viewed them after a luncheon which was arranged for the young ladies at the Ramada Inn. The program held at the Hampton Street Auditorium went smoothly and just before the winners were announced the Miss Congeniality award was present- ed to Shonda Chaplin, a student at WHS.
