DOING IT WELL Ever since 1924 Walterboro High School Students have been doing it welt when it came to having Junior-Senior Proms so why should this year have been any different? With excitement in the air and Cupid shooting his arrow around every corner of WHS students began getting ready for the 1960-81 Junior-Senior Prom, As early as March, members of the student council began getting ready for the prom by selling prom tickets at a discount, couples $8 and singles $6, sales went up to $12 couples and $8 singles during the month of April. The task was begun and now It had to be finished. So with the assistance of Mt. W. Dreyer and Mr. Smoak on Monday April 13? 1981, over 100 stu- dents began participating in decorating the gym. Many found that designing was not all f un and glamour, but a lot of hard work. With wall paper falling, people doing everything but the right thing, and many just getting fed up with them- selves and each other this years prom didn't seem to be doing that well. Bui finally the students got them- selves arid the decorations together, not by working alone, but as one and at 3 o’clock p.m. April 17, the date of the prom, the task was finished. Afterward, I asked students what was their opinion of the gyms decora tions and the night itself Sylvia Coch- ran said, “The decorations were very- nice and the night was mostly a feeling of love ’ Cheryl Williams said, “The decorations showed creative imagina- tion and the atmosphere seemed like spring and James Pollard stated, “It was cool.” So the evening turned out to be beautiful and Love Was In The Air; Woody Reynolds, Mary Babibn, David Wat- ford, Pam Nobles, and Charles Wad Ford sake time out to enjoy the refreshments whJch were served at the piom. Passing the time away Casandlia Mitdie.ll, Den- e«n Adlmas, Brenda Dic ks, and Tanmime Salley have conversation on. iheir favorite subject BOYS!! L— S Plrflm

A NEW BEGINNING “Graduation is so many things its hugs and kisses, its smiles and tears, its a miles- tone crossed, a victory won, a new life begin- ning . . To me being a senior is just like being on top of the world, because its telling me that I’ve spent twelve years in school and I'm about to graduate,” says Clint Campbell. June 3,1981, was a dark and threat ening night at the WHS stadium. Ten- sion mixed with joy was in the air be- cause within a matter of minutes over 250 lives would be changed. Yes, for 264 lucky seniors of WHS their lives would be changed for that night was graduation: and the begin- ning of a new life. As the graduates entered the stadi- um. they were nervous. As they lis- tened to valedictorian Jacqueline Morrow Youmans give her last speech, they were serious. As they watched Margie Bright receive the Schools Good-Citizenship Award, they were sincere And as they reached for their diplomas they were on top of the world, because they knew that they had succeeded and now a new life would begin. ”1 fee) as though 1 achieved and ac- complished more than just a higher grade, but also the knowledge and skills to go along with it,” says Vallery Sanders, and Juanita Bright states, I feel that finally I’ve made it, but the journey has just begun.” Even though the weather was damp and the seats wet Jumor Marshalls George Hamilton. Sandra Hale. Robbie Hartley, Kenneth Bowers, and Vonda Gilgen watch the gradu- ation ceremony attentively. 10 Graduation
