The First and Last “I was nervous but happy to be jin the eleventh grade,” says Audrey Ford. It was a cloudy Friday morning in August. On the campus the students, some old and some new, were compar- ing summers, talking with old friends and making new ones. The buses were rolling in and unloading students right and left. Those who drove to school were busy trying to find parking places. Suddenly, the bell rang and ... as ev eryone filed into the hot gym, the real- ization hit them that this would be the last year they would come into this gym and sit on these bleachers and stare at these gym walls. Sure they might hear the same speech from the principal but not in this gym. Some students felt many emotions on the first day of school for some it was bad as Tracy Water states, “The first day of school was one of the worst days of them all, I hated to see all the teach- ers and think about all the work. ” But some people didn't agree, “It was ter- rific because it had been a long time since I had seen my friends ’ says Al- ice Williams. David Logan agrees, “It was great because 1 got the chance to see alot of my old friends and meet some new people especially the girls Some students were more interested on the opposite sex as Lamonte Har- ley proves by saying, “The women were gorgeous, and it was great to be back ' But some people were only in- terested in their education as says Mary Fisher, “The guys were okay but they don’t excite me. There’s only one thing I came to school for and that’s to learn!” For what ever reason, there is one thing for sure, we are back at school.

M roars the student body, the cheer reverberating off the rafters. Their bodies move together in a methodical rhythm as the gym vibrates to the intensity of the beat. The Juniors and Seniors com- pete for the spirit stick, each trying to outdo the other. But still they are as one encouraging the Dogs to victory. How do you feel at a pep rally? I feel like I'm on a high!” explains Karen Cha- plin, a modest smile brightening her face. Marina Scott talking with her hands says, “I want to get into the rhythm of everyone else.” While Deni Godley laughs, “I want to yell and scTeam and jump and cheer and clap and dance and just be myself!” Which is what everyone else in the building is doing. A pep rally at Walterboro High is surely an event to remember, the feeling of am ity, the spirit of devotion, and the smell of victory seems to bind the students togeth er like the links of a chain.
