QodmiQ, £xCel£ewCe. The implementation of the Edu- cation Improvement Act Drought about a myriad of possibili- ties to improve the overall record of education. Longer class hours prompted the students to acquire more knowledge and the teachers to give closer supervision. Because of this, an overwhelming feeling of ap- prehension was spread throughout the student body. Would there be any time for extracurricular activi- ties. Since this was the first year the act was in effect, it took time to work out all the bugs. The Spirit Club worked during lunch to create posters for the football games. The Junior achievers printed tee-shirts after school and sold them to the stu- dents. The National Honor Society managed, even without the help of an advisor, to collect 105 Christmas Instruments in hand, the Band of Blue march- ers follow drum majorette Mary Gail Barwick off the field. gifts for the underprivileged children of the county. The act also instituted a more stringent attendance policy. Stu- dents were allowed a ten day maxi- mum for absences instead of the for- mer 20-day allowance. However, this encouraged students to take school attendance more seriously. One exciting new aspect of the school curriculum was the computer course. The computer lab was fully equipped with 22 Apple Computers, monitors, disk drives, and even a printer. Aside from academics, the phys- ical education department added a new touch to the year. Handball be- came a popular activity ending up with a tournament during lunch. The effort toward the improve- ment of education in SC became a reality, striving to produce the stu- dent who represented an education- al process and extra-curricular activ- ity geared toward academic excellence. THEME DEVELOPMENt 3 J Pnowuse, J{ Project, and. a . . . the record showed that the Governor’s Education Improvement Package brought with it a promise and a challenge. Mrs. Dolly Mocha, the eleventh and twelth grade attendance clerk, when asked if attendance was up, an- swered “The students are definitely more conscientious about it and some kids are coming in half sick.” Another change the act brought with it was extracurricular eligibility requirements. To be involved in an activity such as chorus, band, or football, a student must have passed all required subjects the previous se- mester. Mr. John Stephens, associ- ate principal, stated, “We have had a problem with ineligible athletes, and our sports, band, and chorus pro- gram will suffer until the participants put academics first ’ Mr. Mark Bowers, a C.P. English III teacher expressed his concern for Littlle. PtioQkesS students and their adaption to the EIA. He realized; This act has made a lot of additional work for me and I am trying a little harder to meet these brighter expectations of the state. A freshman, Robin Blakeman, ex- pressed her disappointment upon entering high school. She said, “For quite a while I have looked forward to the clubs, pep-rallies, and assem- blies. To be denied them is unfair but I am optimistic about this plan and look forward to additional privileges next year. And the students were the final and deciding factors. It was up to them whether the year would record as a push in a confused direction or a good start toward academic excel- lence.

Diversions, disgressions, whimsies, and side interests; despite what one called it, a student’s life was some- times difficult and often confusing. Which dress should I wear? How should my hair be cut? What time should I be in? Which class should come first? With whom should I go out? What color should dominate the prom? Though these questions seemed trivial to those people not connected to Wal- terboro High School, they reigned su- preme in the minds of students. This was their life—a student’s life. These tacky tourists definitely seem out of place in the math hall. John Nugent and Shannon Mar- tin display their vacation garb. Freshmen worries: Will I ever be old enough to fit in? I want my driver’s license so badly! How do I find my way around this massive building? When Larry Penfield was asked what his biggest worry was, he answered, “I was worried about making friends. Freshmen, busy settling down for the next four years, hardly noticed that the long awaited pep rallies, as- semblies, lectures, and clubs did not exist. But Robin Blakeman ques- tioned, Where would we have been this year if it weren’t for the after- school and weekend effort of the Spirit Club?

It did not 3ke long for them to adjust to the :-ge difference between the 10th and I Ith grades. Seniors at last! But the carefree rays were over and the serious plan- - ng had begun. How many people should I invite to graduation? Where should I apply to college? How will I pay for it? How many senior pictures do I really need? Will I ever see my old friends again? It was difficult be- ing certain about an uncertain fu- ture. When Sherri Cummings was asked what she would miss most about the “Class of ’85“ she said, “My friends.” After the memorable “warrior attack” Sherri Cummings gives her best friend Laura Bell a bou- quet of balloons in the parking lot.

The tem- perature was 75 degrees at game time, but to tne football players it was more like 100 de- grees with the humidity. The opening event was the parade of the sen- ior football players and their escorts consisting of girlfriends and even a grandmother. “It really meant a lot to me to have my grandmother at the game, said Benji McCoy. “She made it even more special by escorting me onto the field be- fore hand. After a kiss for good luck, the players returned to the locker room for the last encour- aging word from the coach before the game. After a grand performance by the band at half- time, the five Homecoming Queen candidates and their escorts came onto the field. This night turned out to be very special for LaVerne Aiken. I was especially excited over this extra special night,” said LaVerne. “Being selected as Home- coming Queen made it memorable.” After the Homecoming ceremonies, the foot- ball players returned to the field to continue their annihilation of the burke Bulldogs by a score of 62-12. For the first time ever the homecoming dance was held in the commons area after the game. Attendance was slow at first but increased as the night went on. Crazee Mundee was the DJ and he kept everyone dancing the night away. With perspiring foreheads and anxious smiles the Home- coming Queen candidates and their escorts wait patiently to be announced onto the field. They are Debbie Rowe with Steve Gardener, Kellye O’Connor with Greg Fennesy, Sanaa Taylor with Toby Williams, and LaVerne Aiken.

HOMECOMING 9 Cathy Mizell, a Spirit Club member, shows her support and sells balloons at a football game. Derrick Whittenburg Pickney and Victor Jones prove that football players have spirit also by painting a spirit sign while Coach Driggers looks approvingly at their work. Balloons and signs were just a small, but important part of the Spirit Club. 10 SPIRIT CLUB Blow ’Em Up Boys Both Boys and Girls Composed Rhode’s Army Balloons! Balloons! Balloons! was an easy way to describe the Spirit Club. During Football season, the Spirit Club blew up over 7,800 balloons. The Spirit Club left for Summerville at 3:10 on October 12. When they got there at 4:00, they started blowing up their goal of 3,000 balloons. Elton Culpepper, Mayor of Walterboro, arranged for sponsors to pay for the balloons and helium. He also provided some of the transportation to Summerville. Homecoming was the biggest blow up. The Spirit Club started at 1:00 on November 2 to blow up 5,000 balloons. In addition to this big task, they also made cookies for the football team. During the homecoming pep rally, Spirit Club members fed the players baby bottles to find out who was the biggest sucker on the team. Ronald Robinson took first place. Mrs. Pat Rhode, sponsor of the Spirit Club, said, “The Spirit Club did a great job during the football season, but lost enthusiasm after that. Spirit comes from inside but has to be shared with everybody. A spirited person comes to games rain or shine and they pass around spirit. The Club made posters not only for the foot- ball team, but for soccer and baseball teams as well. Feeding the underclassmen football players baby bottles, to promote school spirit are underclassmen Jody Pilch, Stacy Benton, Melanie Brown, Kim Hendricks, and Julie Johnson. Mayor Elton Culpepper proves that he still has that old school spirit” by assisting the Spirit Club while Mrs. Pat Rhode makes sure all balloons are filled. SPIRIT CLUB ii Close Your Closet ... It's Spirit Week Strange and ridiculous hats, wacky sun- glasses, holey jeans, bermuda shorts, worn out shoes, Michael Jackson impression- ists, and blue and white. What do all of these things have in common ? Of course, this was the week of October 29 through November 2— Spirit Week! On Monday, the typical dress was holey jeans, old shirts left untucked, worn out shoes, mismatched socks, and hats worn backwards. Some people really took it to the limit and showed up at school with dirt smeared all over their faces. Tuesday, Tacky Tourist Day, was enjoyed by John Nugent. “It is my senior year,” he said, “and I just thought it would be fun to show off a little spirit.” Almost everyone had on the usual tourist outfit; Hawaiian shirts, bermuda shorts, ridiculous straw hats and of course that ever so obvious tourist tool—the instamatic camera. According to Heather Rash, Wednesday was the most popular day of all. Because it was Hal- loween, it was appropriate to declare this as Spook or Costume Day. Garland Sutton en- joyed this day in particular. He did such a good job at dressing as a woman that other students encouraged him to enter the mock homecom- ing queen contest not surprisingly, he won the contest. Thursday, the final day, was the traditional blue and white day. Everyone seemed to show the most spirit that day, especially the seniors. Adreen Dicks and Tonya Coleman show their spirit on slob day while, along with Yolanda Ulmer, Karla Tracy and Margie Thomas, they receive the balloon schedule from Mrs. Pat Rhode. Though our school does not have too many nerds on a normal day, Barry Trimble dresses like a nerd only on Nerd Day. Shades and hats constitute an important part of Paul McGahan's and Lashaunda Brown's tacky tourist out- fits. 12 spirit week On Tacky Tourist Day Millette Smith and Lynn Craven dis- cuss places they would like to tour and pretend to taste the delicacies of a foreign land. Posing for pictures is a must when touring. Tacky tourists Miriam Belcher, Paula Rahn, and Tony Caruso make sure their vacation will be remembered. SPIRIT WEEK 13 Lunchin' Is More Than Munchin' A Busy Break After three or four classes of work, lunch was a time when students had a break from their busy schedule. There were two lunch periods: first lunch—11:30 til 12:15 and second lunch—12:32 til 1:07. For some stu- dents lunch was the only time they got to see and converse freely with friends. Those who shared the same lunchtime with their friends were fortunate. Missy Hiott said, “I was one of the lucky ones. I had lunch with all of my friends.” Lunchtime did not always mean eating. Some students used the time to work on help- ing teachers and other staff members. But students and faculty were not the only ones that enjoyed lunch. Walterboro High School hosts a community program for ap- proximately 75 senior citizens. These people spent their weekdays at the school making crafts, enjoying one another’s company, and eating lunch with the students. Lunch would not have been complete with- out the hardworking cooks and kitchen staff. They prepared the meals daily for approxi- mately 1125 students and 75 senior citizens. Big smiles are on the faces of Miriam Belcher, Julie Johnson, and Paula Rahn after a tasty meal. A balanced meal is being served by the cooks. 14 LUNCHTIME After lunch, students sit around, relax, and have some fun. Senior citizens enjoy their hot lunch, and all the activity of the busy commons area.

These words helped many students express their spirit for our school and our teams. The spirit club members earnestly put up signs and banners for our teams. During football season the entire commons area was plastered with these expressions of faith. Dur- ing certain weeks one couldn’t even see the walls of the student store. During basketball, every player had his own sign which was hung on doors or in the halls of the school. Bulletin boards showed the feelings of many teachers. In many classrooms, one found quaint little expressions on the boards and walls. Mrs. Hook's room contained a banner saying, “Time will pass, will you?” There were serious expressions also. Mrs. Blocker's room contained several mind-simulating proverbs from famous world leaders and educators. Travis Evans often helped with banners and bul- letin boards. Bulletin boards weren't the only place that displayed expressions of art. The art classes kept a display case in the entrance way of the commons area. This case held art work and creations that the students composed dur- ing class. Niki Woovis, spirit club member, contributes her part in promoting spirit through the school. Terry Jones and Audra Thomas look on with Mrs. Zielke at a “fresh” new look at breakdancing by Travis Evans. SIGN OF THE TIMEs 17 Passing Out the Posies Everything Came Up Roses Thursday, Feb. 14 was a very happy day for most people because they were either showing their love to their special Valentine” or they were receiving small gifts or tokens of love from that very special someone. Over 300 arrangements of roses, carna- tions and balloons were delivered to the school to be given out by office helpers to anxious lovebirds, sweethearts, and friends. Although Valentine's Day is supposed to be a generally happy day, there were a few up- sets. Sonja Walling’s boyfriend sent her a doz- en roses that she never received because someone took them out of the main office. Sonja said, I was really upset that someone would have the nerve to take roses that didn't belong to them, but my boyfriend was even more upset and hurt that I didn’t get my roses.” Sonja had a big reason to be upset, but there were others that were let down because they received no roses, candy or cards at all. Leslie Williams got a box of candy from a girl- friend but was rather disappointed that she didn’t receive a rose or card from her boy- friend. My boyfriend is in the Army and I know he is quite busy but he could have at least sent me a Valentine’s Day card,” said Leslie. Adding to the excitement of Valentine’s Day was the visit from the Harlem Magicians! Members of the team stopped at the school after lunch to sign autographs and answer questions before their big game against the Walterboro All Stars that night. Junior class officers, Kellye Whittaker and Zenobia Bo- dison, pass out posies during lunch to Donna Davanaugh. Yvette Edwards received not only roses but a big Teddy Bear too. Helping to distribute the flowers in the main office is George Washington. 18 VALENTINES DAY VALENTINES DAy 19 20 FAVORITES What’s Up? Favorites for ’85 After surveying approximately 100 students in the 9th through 10th grades for favor- ites, Prince and the Revolution was the over- whelming champion. Prince turned Michael Jackson into old news because of his success in the hit movie Purple Rain, and became the number one superstar in America. This showed a good example of how fads and fashions, not only in clothes but in music, were continuously changing. Even though changes were always taking place, some of the old favor- ites remained a tradition. Where else would stu- dents hangout but at the Sonic and what else would they wear but their favorite faded-out pair of Levi's? Doesn't everyone have a pair? For at least ten years now, the young people at Walterboro have made the Sonic a tradition. Bored on a Sunday afternoon, students cruised uptown to the Sonic just to flap their jaws with some friends for a while! Whenever students got a break from school, what better time waster than a juicy soap op- era ? It seemed as if The Guiding Light was the favorite around here. Maybe we could watch some videos, especially Mr. Telephone Man by New Edition, or later in the evening watch the ultimately hilarious Cosby Show! These were the things that stood out during the entire school year. They were subjects for conversation, things to show off or just for pure entertainment. These things were what made this year so much different from all the rest and just expressed a taste of times. The Camaro Z-28 was the first choice among students, especially the turbo-charged IROC! Looking over the top ten albums of the week, Barry Trem- ble finally picks the 1 album, Purple Rain, by Prince and the Revolution. favorites 21 This year’s number one fashion was pants above the ankle. Showing off her fashionable belt is Kim White. 22 FASHION What's Hot? What’s Fashions of the 50’s Return Not? Most kids started off the school year with a “back-to-school” shopping spree. The first two weeks of school were “electrifying” to the eyes with the neon pink, yellow, and green colors. After summing up the outfits of.most every- one, it was decided that the school year 84-85 had been a re-creation of the 50’s, Girls wore pants cut above the ankle, bobbie-socks, and matching bows in their hair. While the girls went back in time, the boys stepped forward with their fashions. The average guy owned a name-belt, a pair of Adidas or Puma, and thick shoe laces to match their outfit. Another very big part of an average outfit was the hair styles. Short haircuts or “bobs” were very popular. The guys also wore short haircuts, or “crew cuts.” Yes, punk was out and the 50’s look was in! Cathy Drawdy, Grant Robbins, and Tammy Beach show the stripes that were hot. Carmen Sauls shows that she has what it takes to be in style. Well-dressed, well-behaved and attentive describes Greg Fennessey. FASHION 23 That’s Entertainment! Students participate in Variety '85 Under the direction of Mr. Glen Lester, the tenth anniversary of Variety ‘85 was on its way. Variety was a fast moving, fun filled production of America’s music. Students and teachers contributed to the major part of the show—everything from assistant director, Mr. Ed Robbins, to dancing and singing cho- rus. Seventeen members of the Band of Blue made up the orchestra directed by Keith James. Heather Rash and Susane Varnadoe were two ushers just as beautiful as our four- teen girls who participated as living ads. Be- hind the scenes, Lucius Moore was a faithful curtain operator. Without him the show could not go on. But, of course, there was the show. It was a tremendous success in which every night the cast received a standing ovation. Marcel An- dre Harley a member of the singing and danc- ing chorus, soloist, and clown said, “It made me feel good inside because of the strenuous time and effort that I put into the show. It made me feel like everything was definitely worth my while.” Practice started January first and ended at the last performance on March tenth. Most of the cast and crew had become close and did not want the production to come to an end but on the other hand, there were some who were glad it was all over with and could get back on a regular schedule again. Because students did not have many extra- curricular activities around school, Variety seemed to be the answer for occupying time when there was nothing else to do. Variety also gave students a chance to express their talents and exhibit self-confidence. Most stu- dents that did not participate in any way came at least one night to enjoy the show. Steve Hanna and Scott Langdale are members of a losing baseball team, but they tell the audience that they've got “Heart.” Victor Seabrooks’ expression shows us that the backspin is not as easy as it looks. 24 variety Rhonda hughes and Kathy Layton take-5” out of a long and busy rehearsal to pose for the camera.

S-AV $ f 9 0 0 Money— Some Make It, Some Take It Money—this great motivator prompted many students to seek and find work. And though the sacrifices were sometimes great, students obviously found “making the bucks” worth it. What were these sacrifices? Students forfeit- ed football and basketball games, parties, and Warshaw’s worker, Kathy Jones, displays sweaters for cus- tomers. some found dating inconvenient and rushed. After all, one needed time for rest, solitude, and an occasional homework assignment. When asked if the free time sacrificed was missed, Junior Kathy Lawson expressed, “My hours are minimal and I only work Saturdays at Winn Dix- ie. This helps me keep up my grades.” The one thing that wasn't missed was a pay- check. Working students tended to spend mon- ey more freely than those who did not work. Some made car payments and saved for col- lege. Working students were able to dress well, to purchase stereos and tape decks, and to keep up with all the latest music and trends. Also, Seniors ran across quite a few bills in their “old age.” The average senior picture package was $75.00, senior supply bills were around $40.00-$50.00, and a complete prom set up (dress, tuxedo, tickets, and dinner) amounted to approximately $215.00! Was it any wonder that a paycheck was appreciated? Although working demanded some sacri- fices, the profits reaped generally outweighed them. In addition to extra money, students learned how to budget time, organize and de- termine priorities, and work with money. sfe i%KT mtm as ® M ttS BrjU� «UT S5 «Airs � l T I! niSGUt 65 mm e«B5f ag mi 9f£t 90 fWD6ac«nr 0«o SW0AES BUTTER PECAN strawbehrv VAIIU.

The Bucks Stop There On Dates and After-School Shopping What to cfo after school was a big question to all students. Since the school year wasn't filled with too much excitement, they had to make the best of their evenings. Students would gather at lunch with their friends to decide where they would go that afternoon. They usually decided to shop for clothes and eat afterwards. Shopping with friends was an easy way to forget the school day and a great way to choose an outfit for the night. Dating was another way students spent their afternoons. Once boys and girls got up the nerve to ask one another out, girls spent all afternoon finding the perfect outfit, while boys planned where to take the girls. Elizabeth Lubs said, “On a Friday, after school, I love to get together with a friend and go shopping to get the latest styles in clothes. After that, we would either go to Charleston or cruise the boulevard with our dates. That was a perfect evening to me. Dating and shopping proved to be a great way to spend the afternoons. Sana£ Taylor does not need to shop for a dentist. Her employer is her first choice. Cutting up during lunch, Terry Jones and Carmen Sauls have dated since August. Josten’s offers Johnny Stieglitz a fine selection of class rings. j; DATING SHOPPING 29 A Weekend Bash To Season the Week. . . After a long, hard week of tests and home- work, a weekend was well earned and what better way to spice it up than with a party? A long time ago parties were basically saved for special occasions. Now, anyone with the spirit can throw a successful party. The usual settings for a party were in the homes of stu- dents; other popular spots were the Saddle Club and hotel ballrooms. Anyone planning a party would probably send out invitations by word-of-mouth to all their friends. Music was usually provided by D.J.’s who were found easily around school. There were many parties thrown to cele- brate game victories. One of the nicest was a barbeque held at Syl Bowman’s house. Ath- letes, cheerleaders and parents attended this party. Another record-making bash was a toga party held at the saddle club. There were other parties, too. They might not have been as memorable, but they were fun. And they gave students a much-needed break from the hum-drum school week. Derrick Pinckney shares a victory with his sister. Kim Hendricks glances at her date Doug Wright as they share a dance at the Saddle Club. 30 PARTIES Consulting a friend about what to wear to a party is Kim McNeil. Coach Hall enjoys an after-game party with some mem- bers of his team. Walker Moore and Arlene Keller stop to smile for the camera. parties 31 “The KingTut” performed at Variety by the Renegades was a popular break dancing move. Darren Christianson “locks” one of the positions. “Fresh” painted by Travis Evans depicts a few of the break dancing moves and renowned rappers. Hewlett Price is caught in the act of rapping. Having the right rhythm and movements is always important. 32 BREAK DANCING Broken Rhythm Talented Entertainers Pop and Lock Popping and locking. “The Windmill,” “King Tut,” and back spins. Run DMC, Fatboys, UTFO, and the New York Breakers. “What do these have in common?” you may ask. Well, all of these, and more, are a part of the latest trends in music and dancing. Break- ing is a type of dance in which the body has to be trained to make and perform hard and sometimes harmful positions. Rapping is talk- ing with rhythm to the beat of music. Breaking and Rapping became very popular over the past year. Breaking and Rapping, origi- nating mainly in the upper states, like New York, was a means of competing to prove which group or gang was the best without fighting. No matter where you were, if someone start- ed Breaking you could bet that everyone would gather around and watch in amazement and fascination. Wondering, “how in the world they made their bodies do those things without breaking them in half” was not a strange or uncommon thing. Rapping, also a big attraction, was not hard to find. Walking either in the Commons Area or down the halls, one would surely be able to hear or see someone Rapping or Breaking. Rapping, during lunch time was a very common thing. Groups of boys were found in corners, making up “Raps” about anything from the schools lunch to the principals. Breaking and Rapping were fads that were remembered by all. “The Windmill” is a difficult move, but Kenneth Inabinette has no problem showing off his talents at the Rice Festival. After a football game, Sean Overton starts popping while a group of his friends, Cecil McLean, Al Miller, James Mur- daugh, William Brown, and others stop to watch. rapping 33 Once Every 45 Days Comes... Judgement Day! Four times a year students had to “face the music and discover whether or not their hard and not-quite-so-hard study habits had paid off. Some students put schoolwork at a low posi- tion on their totem pole of priorities. They pro- crastinated—“Oh, gosh, I forgot! —always put off studying until the night before the test, checked out books the day before the book report was due, took hardly any notes while the teacher taught. Nevertheless, these students were the ones who vowed after each unsatis- factory report card to do better next time. But some students were very conscientious. They brought in extra-credit assignments and worked bonus problems, but it really wasn’t necessary: their grade-point averages were very high without these challenges. These stu- dents won respect from their peers, estab- lished a good school record, and enjoyed the privilege of seeing their names on the honor roll. As Jerry Bright and Kenneth Benson look on, Michelle Beckett grins as Coach Doug Bullock hands her the fateful card. A good student, Robyn Blakeman, examines an excellent and well-deserved report card. Dewayne Bright looks as if he's thinking, Oh gosh, I can't believe my grades are this good!” 34 JUDGEMENT DAY While biting her lower lip, Amy Campbell carefully peruses As it is being handed to her by Mrs. Ottie Allen, Rebecca her report card. Beach looks apprehensively at her report card. JUDGEMENT DAy 35 Spring Dance Fever Freshmen and Sophomores Night Out A little less formal, yet just as exciting as the prom, the annual Spring Dance was a huge success. Despite the fact that a misprint on the tickets caused the people to arrive an hour early and the D J. show up an hour late, everyone was patient. When the music start- ed, however, ecstatic energy flowed through the air. Shoes were tossed on the floor and jackets rested on the tables. Most people danced all evening, while others enjoyed re- laxing conversations and appetizing refresh- ments. Typical of springtime, orchids and roses, carnations and daisies decorated the lapels of young men's jackets and the wrists and shoul- ders of lovely young ladies. Pineapples and candles adorned the tables while stars and streamers created a twilight effect on the ceiling and walls. Adding excitement and personality Candy- man was the disc jockey. He played many fa- vorite songs. Since he was a local D.J. a lot of students knew him and this created a friendly atmosphere. One thing that added even more excitement was the pictures. Mrs. E. Bright and her hus- band along with their experience and personal touches delivered colorful life-like portraits for the students to keep as a memory of the won- derful evening.

Four Day’s Toil: We were Preparing for “Paradise At first there was some uncertainty about the prom because students could not get out of class for their usual meetings. But, the officers, along with their advisors, worked around the problems and held meetings during both lunch periods. The juniors raised money by selling doughnuts and holiday gift shop items. Positioning the archway for the front door of the prom, Travis Evans gets a nod of approval from Mrs. Skelton. After looking through many prom catalogs, they decided on the theme Tropical Para- dise . Some of the other themes that were be- ing considered were Purple Rain and Para- dise Island . Since they were low on funds, the juniors decided on having a disc jockey come in to play the most popular tunes instead of hav- ing a band. The students danced all night long and almost everyone took their shoes off to really get down to the nitty gritty. Mr. Smoak, Mrs. Zielke, and Ms. Layton’s art classes exhibited their talent by working long and extra hard decorating the gym for the prom. Because of Easter break, the school week was only four days so the students also had to work extra fast. Mrs. Skelton’s and Mrs. Lewis’ home economics classes also helped by preparing refreshments: sausages, cake squares and cheese logs. All together the officers, students and advi- sors worked hard to put on an overwhelming successful junior-senior prom , said junior class president Lynn Boles. Missy Hiers puts the finishing touches to the cake squares before the prom. • 6g Randall Gantt, an art student, helps draw the background Ms. Coe and Mrs. Skelton make sure that everything for the prom. works, especially the fountain.

Students awaited that ever-special night when they finally got to show off their love- ly long gowns and handsome tuxedoes. Every- one wanted to look his best to impress friends and could not wait to see what the final decorat- ed gym turned out to look like. The gym definately had the air of a tropical island which suited the theme, “Tropical Para- dise. Palm trees and beach scenes covered the walls. Upon arrival, each couple was greet- ed by a lovely “Hawaiian girl who presented all the lovely ladies with beautiful shell necklaces. The disc jockeys were hyped up and easy go- ing. Special requests were made all night long. Soon shoes were off to the popular songs as students danced until exhaustion. Many people have said that this year’s prom was the best ever. “Students were always busy doing something. They were either dancing, getting refreshments, taking pictures, or primp- ing. There were not many students just sitting around. It looked as if the students really had a great time,” commented Sonja Walling. Sophomore, Pamela Chapman, was a hostess at the prom.

The festival was a weekend of fun for the entire family. Many of the events began a week before the festival—a circus was held, the carnival opened, a plantation tour was given, the tennis tournaments were played, Miss Walterboro and Rice pageants were held, and Rice Festival Headquarters opened to answer any questions and to sell hats, visors, and T-shirts. The weekend provided much musical enter- tainment. The WHS Performing Chorus sang downtown Friday along with other local enter- tainment. A beach band performed Friday night, and on Saturday night there was a youth dance and a street dance, Arts and crafts were displayed the entire weekend. Many concessions were located on Washington Street. The Bulldog Booster Club had a concession stand and sponsored a dunk- ing booth. Pat Rhode, Bill Young, Barry Strick- land, Jennie Padgett, and Robin Rutan partici- pated by being the targets. Blue Ribbon Rice Company sponsored a 5- mile run and a 1-mile fun run on Saturday after- noon, Many of the students participated. Facul- ty members Tammie Sligh and Pat Rhode also ran. On Sunday, a bicentennial service was held at the Little Library to commemorate Walterboro for 200 years. A sun dial was placed on the lawn. Mrs. Laura Lynn Hughes, U.S. History teacher, gave the history of Walterboro. Though the weekend didn't last as long as many wanted, it was enjoyed. The Rice Festival Board of Directors anticipate an even better festival and a larger crowd next year. The boys’ chorus performs on Main Street at the Rice Festival.

I RICE FESTIVAL 43 Waiting for practice to begin, three good buddies reflect back on their good and bad times. The intensity all graduates feel is shown in the faces of Milette Smith and Jimmy Walker. I Practice and Preparation It Really Began In 1973 Graduation preparation was, in reality, a time period of twelve long years. In these twelve years, students decided what gradu- ation would yield to them and in what ways they would be recognized and remembered. Mrs. Kate George instructs the class of ’85 in proper dress, manner, and behavior. Salutatorian Jennie Stephens was the winner of the citizenship award and the National Honor Society Scholarship. She also captured the Wil- liam Hamilton Memorial award. Jennie Padgett, third honor graduate, won an Elks scholarship, the DAR Good Citizenship medal, and the Woodmen of the World History award. Regina Hutto won the Virginia von Lehe scholarship and the Elaine Fogel scholarship. Barry Strick- land and Sharon Howell won the Adams-Bailey Memorial scholarship and Glenis Mosely won the National Council of Negro Women scholar- ship. Laura Manigo won the Delta Sigma Theta scholarship, Vanessa Aiken obtained the Colle- ton County Education Association scholarship, and Teresa Farmer was given the American Lung Association scholarship. Sana Taylor, another big winner, won the Georgia Pacific Scholarship, an Eastern Star scholarship, and the Kappa Chi Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta sorority scholarship along with Queen Lewis.

It was felt the second that last test was turned in. It was felt the moment that last book was relinquished. It was felt the last minute of that last day. This was it. It really did end. Graduation really did come. It really was over. But the doors of the mind were closing and opening at a rapid pace. As one phase of life ended, another was beginning. And regardless of how anxious we were to finish, a reluctance to leave all we had known and loved set in. While we counted the hours until June 7, we savored every moment of every day. Mrs. Virginia vonLehe warned her senior Eng- lish students about the end of high school. In a popular class discussion, (because it “di- gressed from Shakespeare or conjugations), she warned students not to make graduation a time of regret and melancholy. She also re- minded her hurrying students that to appreci- ate something after it had ceased was too late. Seniors obviously took her advice to heart. The last few months of high school produced friend- ships that may have never been if not for an approaching goodbye. Graduation was a moun- tain climbed, a chapter completed, and every- thing the class of '85 had waited for. The class of ’85's conflicting emotions are shown in the faces of these two graduates.

Jones presents outstanding scholar- Friends are a nice and necessary part of graduation prep- ships to Jennie Stephens and Nathan Manneraak. aration. 46 graduation am With twelve years of friends, fun, and facts to their credit, the class of ’85 awaits their cue to move on.

All In The Mind Success, as defined by Webster's dictionary, is “the attainment wealth, favor, or eminence.11 But two seniors, Barry Strickland and Jennie Padgett, defined their ideas of suc- cess in a few different ways. Barry, ranked twelth in a class of 320, was a varsity football player, a representative to Boy's State, and a sports editor on the Paw Print. Wher asked about the success he looked for, Barry answered, “I want to be good at whatever I decide to do, do the best I can at it, and be happy doing it.’1 Fourth in the Class of '85, Jennie Padgett Enjoyed being editor-in- chief of the Paw Print, President o' the National Honor Society, and a 1984 delegate to Palmetto Girls' State.

A con- servative estimate by the Paw Print staff came out to about five hundred dollars. There were expenses such s: prom tickets, $15; tuxedo, $50; :'ess, $100; and junior senior week- end, $50 to $60. Unfortunately, not all of the five Hundred dollars was spent on enjoy- ole endeavors like the prom. There -'.as an average of thirty dollars spent :n school fees; however, if you didn’t 'eturn your library books when due, prices sky rocketed at a nickel a day! Hopefully, everyone bought a year- zooW at $15, took senior pictures for S 50, bought a senior key for $20, and senior supplies at $50.

However, because of the short no- - ce for the deposit many students were unable to find the means to go : o the trip. Therefore the trip had to :e cancelled due to a lack of funds ind interest. Some seniors were disappointed 3id were determined to have a weekend together. The trip to Six r ags had been set for the weekend :• May 3, and since some seniors had :-en reembersed for their deposit to Six Flags, they came up with the idea to pool their money and rent a beach house at Edisto Island for the week- end. The cost of the beach trip was found not be so expensive after all. Thirteen students persuaded Mrs. Sarvis and her husband to chaper- one the weekend. The date could not have been bet- ter because it was the first weekend after term papers were completed and oral book report presentations were due the following Monday. This alloted time for friends to rehearse their originiality. The date was also better because it came after the rainy season during which Jr. Sr. weekend was held. After a hectic week of locating an available house for the weekend of May 3, that would accomodate fif- teen people, choosing appropriate chaparones, and finding out who was definitly staying for the weekend; the seniors enjoyed basking in the sun, enduring occasional sand storms, playingfrisbee football on the beach, surviving fire extinguisher fights, and most importantly, establishing clos- er and lasting friendships. : = ior weekend gave John Nugent and Shan- non Martin a chase to relax and enjoy the : :mpany of friends.

Looking Good When the election for senior su- perlatives in March was held, every- one was looking forward to the out- come. Each homeroom received a ballet to fill out voting for the senior they thought best fit each title. The two overall winners for best looking were Kelley O'Connor and Barry Strickland. When asked why she voted for Barry, Susanne Varnadoe replied, ‘There would have been no competi- tion between Barry and any other guy. Not only does looks count but also personality. That’s why I voted for him.” Barry was a varsity football player, a member of the National the Nation- al Honor Society, a member of the yearbook staff, and on the varsity baseball team. He also was selected Boys' State in Columbia. Next year he plans to attend U.S.C. What was Barry’s reaction when he found out about his winning? Barry said, “I was surprised. My mother said that I must have won because of my baby blue eyes.” Kelley also replied, “I was flattered at the outcome of the election and was glad to know that my friends considered me best looking.” Kelley was a member of the National Honor : Society, a photographer for the yearbook staff and one of the five candidates for Homecoming Queen. Next year she plans to attend U.S.C.’s Business College. Melissa Ammon voted for Kelley and said, “Kelley has a soft beauty that is rare these days. I admire that in a person at a time when so many people are hard and artificial looking.” Barry Strickland is admired as best looking by Nicole Varnadoe, a fellow journalism student.

The officers solicited the help of fellow ju- niors to raise money by selling dough- nuts, carnations and prom tickets. Officers Lynn Boles, Kelly Whitaker, Elizabeth Lubs, Kim Hendricks and Zen- obia Bodison worked hard trying to or- ganize the prom, but they were faced with problems caused by the new schedule. With the inability to meet reg- ularly and lack of time to decorate, the prom seemed dismal at first.

Fortunately, for Kelley Whitaker, Patricia Ferguson, and Tonya Johnson, there was a way to explore career options first hand—the Cfem- son Career Workshop. These students entered applications and were in com- petition with many other sophomores in a tri-state area. The summer of '84, Kelley, Patricia, and Tonya spent two weeks experienc- ing college life. They roomed in dorms, ate in the dining hall, and participated in lots of college recreational activities. But they also took college-level courses and completed projects related to sci- ence, technology, and the arts as guests of the University. 84 juniors Franklin Davis Delma Dennis Anthony Doctor Tonya Doctor Bernadette Dupree Travis Evans Curtis Fair Charles Farmer Curtis Fields Jeffrey Fields Kenny Fisk Eric Fowler Jenice Franklin Ann Frasier Dorothy Frasier David Friendly Donnie Frier Sonja Fryar Sarah Gant Gregory Garrett Marvelyn George Marie Gethers Susie Giardini Michael Gilmore Jesse Glover Robert Glover Nathaniel Godbold Terri Golf Nadine Goodwin Bernard Green Mary Green Leroy Greene Albert Griffin Brenda Gruber Jeff Hale Michael Hale Scott Halter Freddie Hamilton Mark Hampleton Denise Hand Walter Hand Kim Haygood JUNIORS 85 Eric Hansborough Mark Hare Paul Harrison Timothy Harrison Carolina Helton Stevie Henderson Kim Hendricks Ophelia Heyward Sherry Hickman Becky Hiers Nancy Hiers James Hiott Mary Sue Hiott Missy Hiott Donna Hoats Richard Hobbs Robert Hodges Keith Holland Consonja Holmes Dale Hoover Chris Hudson David Infinger Pamela James Rogetta Jarido Barbara Jenkins Shanese Jones Terry Jones Aime Johnson Anne Johnson Julie Johnson Tonnia Johnson Tommy Kay Cherrilyn Kearse Patrice Keller Lindsey Kelly Jillian Kinnery Fred Kirkland Allison Koger Bubba Koger Wayne Ladson Kate Landess Harry Lane 86 JUNIORS Michelle Lasseter Kathy Lawson Charles Lemon Leslie Lewis Lamia Lisbon Charles Logan Melissa Lowery Elizabeth Lubs Pam Lynah Edgar Lyons Rodney Lyons Ronald Maggi Charles Mangum Roscoe Manigo Sandra Manigo Karen Manneraak Felichia Martin Leslie Martin Cold Crush Brothers In recent years a music trend has be- ::me increasingly popular.

Julie Johnson said, “It's important that one picks a ring that is really special. Most stu- dents found that ordering class rings was easier said than done. Mr. Carroll, j the Josten’s representative, made choosing a ring a difficult task, since he had a wide selection of rings and op- tions. The juniors had choices of en- gravings, stones, and emblems. The emblems represented activities: sports, academic clubs, band, chorus and some even bore the zodiac symbol. Students, who under normal circum- stances wouldn’t have bought jewelry, saved their nickels and dimes and spared no expense. Although most students were satis- fied with buying their rings at school, some purchased their rings from local jewelry stores. Students at Walterboro High weren't the only sentimental students pruchas- ing class rings. Statistics state that class rings were the largest selling piece — of jewelry sold each year.

Selling doughnuts, and stuffed animals helped finance many activities, such as the Spring Dance. The offi- cers and representatives orga- nized these projects at meetings before and after school. They used their lunch periods for meet- ings, also. “I feel that Tonya Haynes did a great job of serving as president, said Angie Brown, student counci representative, “and although there was a lack of participation at most meetings, she did her best to promote class projects.” Sherry Ackerman Duval Adams Michael Adams Donna Alderman Amy Alexander Michelle Alexander Lynda Araneo Cathi Bailey Robert Ballard Barbara Barnes Angela Beach Michael Beach Scott Beasley Donna Beckett Miriam Belcher Tim Benson Dexter Benton Dawn Berryman 92 sophomores Brian Black Adrianne Bodison Guss Bodison Jamel Bodison Kernie Bodison Moses Bowman Vincent Bowman Robbie Brabham Ted Brammer Phyllis Bridge Scott Bridge Nicky Britt Angie Brown Joyce Brown Robbie Brown Sandra Brown Shawn Brown Shonda Brown Willie Brown Ravetta Brunson Angie Bryan Will Bryan Roderick Buckner Walter Burns Randy Butler Sandra Butler Carolyn Campbell Scharles Campbell Jeffery Campbell Trent Canady Toby Carson John Carter Robert Carter Tony Caruso Mike Chapman Stacie Chapman Deadra Chisolm Roxann Chisolm Stacy Christison Jo Anne Clark Rashid Clytus Adrienne Cobbs sophomores 93 Tess Collette Jenny Colleton Anthony Cook Anita Cox Silas Craven Wayne Craven Sheila Creel Daniel Crosby Keith Crosby Stacey Crosby Travis Crosby Isreal Dais Emily Davis Eva Davis Katie Davis Tina Davis Baron DeLoach Scott Dewitt Zelda DeWitt Stevie Donaldson John Downey Micheal Dubois Bert Duffie Barbara Durr Earl Evans Angie Farmer Greg Fennessy Bernadette Ferguson Michelle Ferguson Sebastian Ferguson Monica Fishburne Sonya Fishburne Allan Fletcher Deacqulin Ford Lena Ford Tony Ford Chuck Fraser Regina Fulk Anthony Garrett Craig Garrett Lynn Garner Josephine Gantt 94 SOPHOMORES No Pain, No Gain No, they weren't the Redskins, I me Gamecocks, or the Bulldogs.

When the faculty of Walterboro High needed something done, they turned to the semi-pro—the assis- tance of office helpers. During free periods, students who were chosen for the prestigious task ran errands, answered phones, gave change, and did menial paper work that would have otherwise bogged down the staff. The faces that everyone longed to see through the long days were the attendance office helpers who were hopefully coming to inform stu- dents of being signed-out. An office helper that students seldom enjoyed having visit was the disciplinarians' because that usually meant penal treatment from the principal. The year went smoother than it would have if the office had been without the help of office helpers.

The reasons for this ranged from be- ing too young to receive a license to the cost of operating a car and par- ental fears for the safety of the high- ways. “Riding the bus is not all that bad: you can do homework,” said DeNang Mayes. Although some optimistic freshmen thought riding the bus pro- vided an opportunity for socializing and getting psyched up for the school day, others just thought that it was a long, boring ride to and from school. Trying to make the best of a very long bus ride are Dwaine Voss, Robin Thomas, Earl Thor son, and Venessa Williams.

Carolina rolled into the game riding on the wave of a great season. Clemson stood in the way of a record 10-1 season and a possible bowl bid. Clemson came into the game with a 7-3 record. The favored Clemson team led for 59 minutes until Carolina kicked an ex- tra point to win the game by a score of 22-21.

Teachers took courses at area college campuses in order to renew teaching certificates, work on master degrees, or to derive personal satisfaction. A couple of teachers, such as Mrs. Blocker and Ms. Ratliffe were doing double duty as professors. Mrs. Blocker taught an English course and Ms. Rat- liffe taught a biology course. Students who were heading for col- lege took solace in the fact that teach- ers understood the way we felt and the way we would feel in the future when we would be taking college courses. One anonymous teacher said, I had almost lost touch with the feelings and pressures of a student.” The courses she took refreshed her approach to her students in which she treated her stu- dents the way she felt like her profes- sors should treat her. Even though Ms. E. Fraiser and Ms. K. George allow no conversing in their classrooms, they find it necessary to share an idea. Mrs. Blocker tries to get a grammar rule across to some of her college students. Rusty Adams—Biology I Charles Aiken—Pre Voc. 1,11 Ruth Allgood—U.S. History, Biology I Ottie Allen—Adv.

Doug Bullock is a man of action and determination. He has the ability to relate to students, but on his terms only. With such a large statue he is often mistaken for a '‘big-ox” or “bull,” hence the nickname, “Bull.” With a body as big as his, he often eats a lot. When asked why he eats so much, Mr. Bullock replied, “I eat so much because I am preparing for the Great Famine that comes with nuclear holocaust. When it comes, I will burn my body fat.” Mr. Bullock is a man of infinite wis- dom and is always willing to share that wisdom with his students. He is often giving his students advice, such as if they are ever kidnapped, just flush the toilet to see which way it flushes. If it flushes counter-clockwise they are in the Northern hemisphere, if it flushes clockwise they are in the Southern hemisphere. Valentino Willis, one of the Harlem Magicians, asks Coach Bullock to give back the basketball, but “Coach’' insists that he doesn’t have it.

Two, SOiifee, Ih t Football, basketball, baseball, soft- ball, and handball ... did it really matter which one? Though the public could not be in at- tendence at every WHS sporting event, enthusiasm and support for each sport was felt and emphasized. Because of Walterboro’s numerous and talented athletes, success was guaranteed. But no athlete was an island, and other fac- tors influenced the players and their games. The fans, the parents, the coaches, the referees, and the patrons are a team in themselves. Though the Bulldogs manage to remain in con- trol, Barry Strickland no. 10, watches the action with intense concentration. Because of the lack of organized clubs and other diversions, an organized athletic program was sup- ported and appreciated. Many fine and excellent seasons were enjoyed. The Varsity Football Team, com- posed of 36 players and with an aver- age weight of 180 lbs., tackled a tough season and won. With their best record ever, nine wins and two losses the Bulldog's fame was glori- ous and wide spread. Yielding only to nationally-ranked Summerville, and South Florence, these players de- served and received the utmost re- spect. Because of the volleyball team’s lack of eligible players, the season 124 theme development—sports .vas cancelled for the year. But the girls made their stand clear with a young but impressive basketball team. Girl’s softball was also a hit and the team worked well with one another for a successful record. Two local athletes, Stevie Riggins and Derrick Pinckney, recieved im- pressive scholarships to colleges in excellent standing. Stevie, a tailback, will be playing for the Presbyterian College. Derrick, a defensive back, will be playing for the Newberry Indi- ans for four years. Thousands of Bulldog fans went to Summerville in '84.

Those Hot Dawgs ... Were Difficult To Stop For the Bulldogs, football was an all-year sport. The players started lifting weights in mid- January and continued to lift throughout the summer. When practice started in early Au- gust, all the time spent in the weight room proved well-spent. The team made the annual trip to camp at Erskine College in mid-August. Temperatures soared into the hundreds. “But all the work during camp was worth it at game time,” said of- fensive center John Boozer. After a hard week of practicing and scrimmaging, the players returned to Walterboro only to start practicing again the next Monday. When school started in late August, players had the added task of fitting homework into their busy schedules. The Bull- dogs continued to practice and scrimmage until the first real test of their abilities came in the form of Garrett in the Ser- toma Classic. The dogs won the one quarter scrimmage but, ac- cording to the fans, they did not play well.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 127 A Great Year . . . and an almost perfect season In the opening game of the season, the Bulldogs seemed unstopable. They destroyed St. Andrews and Bonds Wilson North Charleston in consecu- tive shut outs. The dogs were flying high, but Wando brought them back to earth in a very close game. The team learned never to underestimate their opponents. The next three games were not exciting for the dogs. They defeated all three but without the high scores. The dog’s key was their de- fense which gave up a total of 36 points in the first six games. We had good pursuit on the ball, exclaimed defense tackle Jack Nettles, and we filled the holes on the line of scrimmage which made running inside diffi- cult for our opponents. The Bull dogs had a very pow- erful offense. The running game was wide open with running backs like Stevie Riggins and Darrell Black in the back field. The running game was kept open by the offense’s ability to pass the ball. Combined with a good offensive line, the offense was a potent weapon. But even with the great com- bination of talent, the team could not get out of the starting gate against Summerville. The game was promoted as the best game of the season. The Greenwave was No. 1 in the state while the Bulldogs were No. 3. The game, however, was to be all Summerville's. The wave wiped out Waiterboro and proved why they were No. 1. The loss was the dog’s only reg- ular season defeat of the year.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 129 Making History Another Winning Season The loss to Summerville was a painful defeat, but the Bull- dogs did not let it get them down. They were hard at work the next Monday with a good outlook and a lot of effort. The Friday to follow proved to be a complete turnaround for the dogs. They came out and beat the Georgetown Bulldogs 39-0. This game was only one of Wal- terboro's five shut-out victo- ries. The dogs followed the win with a victory over Goose Creek and a 62-12 rout of the Burke Bulldogs. In this game, the Bull- dogs set the record for the highest score for a Walterboro Football team. Post season was not to be so kind to the reigning lower-state champions. They were knocked out of the play offs by South Florence in a disheartening 14- 15 game on a questionable touchdown in overtime. The team finished the season 9-2. “Even though most teams would have been glad to go 9- 2,” said Benji McCoy, I felt dis- appointed in our season be- cause of our upset in the first round of the playoffs.” The dogs finished the regular sea- son 9-1, which was the best regular season in our history. One bright side of the season was the large number of players named to the all-conference team including first team mem- bers Joe Nathan Chaplin, Floyd Gadsen, Rodney Nesbitt, Ca- price Rhone, Tyrone Mc- Donald, and Stevie Riggins who was also named All-Low Coun- try offensive player of the year. The team had its ups and downs but for the dogs, it was a really good year.

Lack of Breaks But Not Lacking Talent The Bullpups’ season started off disappointingly. The Pups lost their first game of the sea- son to Berkeley in a close score of 0-8. However, their momen- tum picked up by winning the next two games, but the rest of the season was up and down. Going into the last game of the season, the Bullpups’ record was 4-5. They needed to defeat the Burke Bulldogs to have a .500 season. Jumping out to an early lead, the Bullpups led 18- 0 by the end of the first half. Although Burke scored twice in the second half, the Walterboro Bullpups held on to win by the score of 25-14. Although the Walterboro Bullpups finished with a 5-5 record, Coach Bull- ock said, “With a few breaks, we could have easily been 9-1.” J.V. Football—Front Row: R. Carter, J. Strickland, B.

There were a lot of things going on that weren't as popu- lar as football but they were just as important. The cross country team had trouble with participation. There were not enough people to make a team, but the run- ners participated on individual levels. The teams highest fin- isher was Dale Hoover who fin- ished 38th the state meet. The volleyball team had per- sonnel trouble as well. The team lost a lot of players, caus- ing them to fold in mid-season. Walterboro students proved that they could do more than play sports. Many of them worked as referees for both midget football and soccer. Varsity football players Joe Na- than Chaplin, Alphonso Brown, Derrick Pinkney, John Boozer all referred midget football games while Varsity soccer players—Grover Owens, Dale Hoover, Benny Hutto and David Pilch—refereed midget soccer games. These were prime ex- amples of old players helping the upcoming athletes get ready to become the future stars of Walterboro’s sports.

EXTRA EXTRA-CURRICULARS 135 Reaching For Goals And Scoring Them Soccer is a sport that is just developing in Walterboro, The team was in its fourth year and the program was really begin- ning to grow. The first day of practice found a crowd of peo- ple ready to play soccer but as the miles of running began to increase, the number of players decreased. The players were realizing that soccer was a very demanding sport. This years team was a new team and a young team having only four seniors in a more than twenty person roster. Also, the team had a new coach this year. When Coach Don Carr ar- rived he had his own ideas about coaching, one of which was that a good soccer team had to be in good shape. He set out from day one to get the team into the best possible shape they could be in. As it is with any new team, Al Miller dribbles around a Battery Creek defender. 136 SOCCER this was a year of firsts. Not only was the best record over for a soccer team at Walterboro but it was also the first team to have both male and female players. Joan Johnson and Stacy Christinson were the first girls to ever play soccer for Wai- terboro. Walterboro had a good year up until the 13th game of the season when several ball play- ers became ineligible due to the governor’s new education package. This loss gave a num- ber of young players a chance to get a little game experience. The dogs finished the season with a 6-9 record. Next year’s team promises to be a good one with returning starters Dale Hoover, Tyrone McDonald and Benny Hutto.

The first game was against the Summer- ville Greenwaves, the school's rival. The Bulldogs beat the waves with time running out by the score of 66-64. When Travis Evans was asked how he felt the season would turn out he said, “Since there was so much tal- ent on the team, I felt we should have gone to the playoffs and been at the top of our confer- ence.” As the season progressed, the academic standards brought on by the Governor’s Package hit the Dogs hard when it caused two of the team's best players to become ineligible. This eventually de- stroyed the Dog’s opportuni- ties for a successful season. “I was very disappointed with the Governor’s Package because we had to drop two of our best players,” Evans remarked. “I knew our team couldn't keep up to par like we were at the beginning of the year, but the team never gave up.” Coach Simmons stated, “At the beginning of the year we started off well, but when the academic standards came into effect, our whole season was shot. It really hurts to lose two of the team’s best players after working all summer to unite a solid team.” Walterboro center Travis Evans drives Looking for a clear shot, Darrel Black to the basket high over a Ruffin defend- raises the ball just out of a Ruffin play- er. er’s reach. basketball 139 Basketball SCHEDULE Summerville Wando N.

Preparing For The Varsity Some Sooner Than Others The J.V.’s had a mediocre season this year. Their shoot- ing was good and their height was good, but the boys only won a few games. But they had a better season than their re- cord showed. The Junior Varsity Boys' Bas- ketball program is designed to prepare young basketball play- ers for the Varsity Squad. Usu- ally players spend two years on the J.V. Squad and two years on the Varsity, but this year things were a little different. Under the terms of the gov- ernor's new education pro- gram, student athletes had to maintain a passing grade in all subjects. Many of the Varsity players failed to keep their grades up so they became ineli- gible. Many J.V. basketball play- ers were moved up to the Varsi- ty at mid-season. This left the Junior Varsity with a small ros- ter. One good thing that resulted from the transfer of players was that many young J.V. players got a lot of game time exper- ience that they wouldn’t ordi- narily have had. The team fin- ished the season with a losing record but they played good basketball, none the less. Front Row: Walter Burns, James Wil- liams, Coach Doug Bullock, Mark Ma- lone, Kevin Chapman.

Getting Better and Better The Lady Bulldogs Keep Working The Lady dogs of Walterboro took the court for the first time in early December, but like oth- er teams that came before them, the girls got off to a slow start. They played a close open- ing game against Summerville but in many of their other early games, they were outscored by wide margins. The girls' varsity team shared a common problem with the J.V. team—they had only one coach, Miss Marsha Coe. She had to work with both teams and this posed a real problem on game days. It hurt both teams and kept them from playing their best. The girls' first victory came against Georgetown and was closely followed by another vic- tory over Stratford. The Lady dogs managed to win two more games before they finished their season at the conference tournament with a loss to Georgetown. The girls finished the season with four wins and eighteen losses, which was a better record than those of the previous two years.

The team won as many games as the Varsity Girls, which was a great improvement from last year, especially since this was a rebuilding season. The team consisted of many players who had never played team basketball before. Coach Marsha Coe had this to say about her young players: “They were eager to learn and, there- fore, worked very hard. I be- lieve they will help our basket- ball program in the future ’ Because of the new sched- ules the J.V. Girls did not play at the same place as the Varsity Girls. When the Varsity Girls played home, the J.V. Girls played away, causing one major problem. Since Coach Coe coached both teams, she could not be at two places at the same time. Coach Doug Bull- ock, filled in during the conflict- ing games. The girls were quick to adjust to this unusual coach- ing routine. The girls achieved many of their goals and gave their sup- porters a lot to cheer about. But if you asked any of the play- ers what their proudest achievement was, most would say, “We beat Summerville.” J.V.

Many school records were broken and even more personal goals were obtained this year. The biggest thrill of the year was the 400-meter relay team which cut the record to 43.06 seconds. The team consisted of Craig Williams, Dwayne New- ton, Curtis Fields, and Jerry Blake who alternated with Floyd Gadsen throughout the year. Craig Williams not only helped set the 400 relay re- cord, but also broke the 400 meter record himself. With a time of 50.06 he was 1.26 sec- onds faster than the previous school best. The team, as a whole, had a 20-5 record which was better than any past sea- son. At the conference meet, many people attained their per- sonal goals. Eight members performed well enough to re- ceive a position at the Lower State meet in Sumter the next weekend. Those members were Bobby Moore, shot put; Craig Williams, 400 meters, 400 meter relay, 200 meters, and 100 meters; Curtis Fields, 400 relay, 200 meters, 100 meters; Dwayne Newton, 400 relay, long jump; Jerry Blake, 400 re- lay, 300 meter intermediate hurdles, 100 meter high hur- dles; Stan Hampton, discus; and Floyd Gadsen, 400 meter relay.

Against All Odds... Yet Still Breaking Records v The girls’ track team for the year 84-85 was as a whole the best Walterboro has had in a very long time. Through hard work and determination, the girls took a surprising 5th place out of 10 teams in the confer- ence. The team had 5 girls repre- sented in the lower state track meet: Janet Campbell, Beverly White, Karen Nesmith, Renee Nesmith and Margaret Des- soya. From there, two girls went on to the state track meet held in Columbia. Since there was no adequate equipment for the girls to prac- tice on, these girls ran against high odds. Another barrier for the girls was the fact that there was not any home track. This meant that every meet was away and kept Walterboro on the visitors’ side of things. Even with all of this against the girls, many of them still broke school records. Campbell broke the shot and discus record. Karen Nesmith broke the 100 and 200 records. Beverly White broke the triple jump record and Des- soya the 1 and 2 mile records. The track team is still very young with no one over the 11th grade. These girls have proven that anything can be done no matter what the odds are against them. Coach Mar- sha Coe is looking forward to a very strong team in the years to come. Demonstrating one of many successful throws is Janet Campbell. Holding a steady pace, Pam McDonald is jumping the hurdles with ease. GIRLS' TRACk 149 Bad Breaks A Season of Rookies The Walterboro Bulldog base- ball team started the season off by defeating Burke by a forfeit. It proved to be the only win for the Dogs for the rest of the sea- son until the final two games. The last two games were a dou- ble-header against the George- town Bulldogs. They came to Walterboro with a twelve game winning streak on the line. This certain Saturday proved to be a day of amazement. The first game was a high scoring game. The Bulldogs prevailed on top by the score 19-13. However, the following game proved to be the best. The Bulldogs started John Boozer off as pitcher expecting to get a few good innings out of him. Unexpectedly, John Boozer pitched the whole game and won by the score of 6-1. This was the only complete game pitched all year by a Bull- dog pitcher. Coach Applebee stated, This year's team was very young. Everyone will return ex- cept for four players. Hopefully with a year of maturity, the team will come around.

The Lady Bulldogs were Conference Champs once again. This year's first playoff oppo- nent was Dillion. The Lady Bull- dogs defeated Dillion, they then had to travel to South Florence. They wanted to beat this team for the last two years and they did. It was known as the “game of the Season.” The Lady Bulldogs were still on the road. Their next oppo- nent was Spring Valley. They were the first to defeat the Lady Bulldogs. Their next oppo- nent was Socastee. They had an awesome pitcher. Socastee vs. Walterboro was a very excit- ing game. Both teams were after the victory game. The Lady Bulldogs were upset with the score of (7-6). The Lady Bulldogs finished their season with a record of 20 wins and only 2 losses.

SOFTBALL 155 On the Sidelines You'll Find the Spirit Members at Work The last day of school and up- coming vacation was only the beginning of hard work for the varsity cheerleaders. June 30 through July 3 they attended a VCA Camp at Baptist College. This was the first time the en- tire squad had participated in the camp. They brought home two gold and two blue superior ribbons, three excellent, one outstanding and one spirit stick. On the final evaluation, the girls placed third in the dis- trict competition. Kellye Whi- taker said, “I enjoyed camp very much and I feel our squad really benefited from this ex- perience.” The squad was fairly new with only three returning cheer- leaders. At their first perfor- mance during the Sertoma Classic, the girls were not only nervous but knew this would be their first impression of the year ahead. “In the future, I would like to work on getting more participation from the fans,” stated Kim McNeil. The girls worked hard all year on Homecoming, pep-rallies, and competitions by making signs, selling spirit pens, and promoting spirit throughout the school. Since the publicity was al- most always focused on varsity sports, the J.V. Cheerleaders had the difficult task of boost- ing the spirit of their players alone. Eleanor Adams sponsored the J.V. Cheerleaders and was assisted by Varsity Cheerleader Sandra Reed. Sandra attended her practices twice a week and also attended J.V. practice.

Nothing could dampen the spirits of those who partici- pated in Special Olympics. Held annually at Bulldog Sta- dium, Special Olympics is a pro- gram designed to give support to special people. There were approximately 175 volunteers and participants from all over Colleton County. The events ranged from baseball throw to 500-meter dash. All students who participated came out win- ners. Volunteer Audra Thomas said, I’m glad I had the privi- lege of helping. It was a fun and learning experience ’ The overall attitude of every- one there was exceptionally high. As Nathan Manneraak sums it up, People in Special Olympics are special—the vol- unteers and participants.” 158 SPECIAL OLYMPICS special Olympics 159 Game, Set, Match The tennis team had a fair season this year. They had a few standout performances by some and others played sur- prisingly well. Coach Layton's team as a whole didn’t fair well in the conference but they played well. The team started practicing long before the season began. The team showed great im- provement over the months of practice. One of the most im- proved players was Michelle Pryor, who was awarded the most improved trophy at the athletic banquet. The teams most valuable player this year was Robbie Brabham. Robbie played B- team the previous year, but came up to the varsity to lead the team in point scoring at the conference meet. The team, as a whole, had a pretty good sea- son. 160 TENNIS Showing his backhand is top Walterboro player Robbie Brabham. Michelle Pryor gets ready to return a long shot.

Shooting Up to Par With only one returning play- er, Wendy Bashnan, the golf team managed to improve upon last year's record. The golf team had somewhat of an unusual schedule. Several times the team played against all the other conference teams on one day. Unlike the previous years, the team was permitted to play only nine holes instead of the usual eighteen. The rea- son was the time factor. The team practiced at Dog- wood Hills Country Club. The team was unable to practice and play as much as other con- ference teams, making the team a seasonal team, while other teams were year-round golfers. However, the players were playing more golf than in previous years. This year introduced a new member to the team, the Mit- zubitshi electronic golf trainer. With the help of this machine, the golfers were able to im- prove their accuracy and swing. The golfers had to be able to adjust from practice sessions to competitive matches. Golf is a discipline sport. Coach Steve Carter said, “Golf is a never- ending science. The team did not have any Arnold Palmers or Jack Nicholases, but our team played well.” This year’s golf team definitely has proved to be a record of pawsibilities. golf 161 The Best of the Best WHS Honors its Finest Walterboro High honored its best at the annual Athletic ban- quet in May. Athletes who con- tributed to particular sports were awarded letters for their accomplishments. In each sport, the best athlete, as well as the most improved was hon- ored above all others. This year’s top winners were: in cheerleading—Connie Risher, cross country—Dale Hover, football and baseball—Stevie Riggins, basketball—Travis Ev- ans and Mimi Young, track— Craig Williams and Karen Nes- mith, soccer—Tyrone Mc- Donald, tennis—Robbie Brab- ham, and in golf—Brady Ordel. One of the more memorable events of the evening was the ceremony given in honor of Coach Earl Applebee’s retire- ment. Coach Applebee was giv- en a plaque and a gold watch for the work he had done through- out the years. The IPTAY award, given by Clemson each year, went to the athlete with the highest grade point average. This award went to Barry Strickland. The evenings big winner, was Stevie Riggins. Stevie was awarded the Gamecock Award. Stevie was a four letter sports- man in baseball, a two letter man in football, and he also let- tered in basketball. Stevie was also named all-Lowcounty of- fensive player of the year. Coach Applebee is given a plaque to honor his retirement. Coach Adams presents awards to Wal- terboro's best softball team ever.

New courses in- cluded ceramics, computer science, Art III, and PE II. The new teachers were Mrs. Janis Blocker, Mr. James McCray, Miss Loretta Brown, Mr. Patrick Ebig- wei, Ms. Kim Ganaway, Ms. Bertha Gil- more, Mr. Isaac M'Murithi, Mrs. Mary Martin, Ms. Abigail Memminger, and Ms. Shirley Ragland. One of the major alternations was the discontinuance of clubs and meetings with the implementations of the Educa- tional Improvement Act. But despite the fact that almost every school-based extra-curricular activity was terminat- ed, students enjoyed familiar electives like band, chorus, driver’s education, and auto mechanics. A select group ventured outside of the required, and conquered subjects such as advanced algebra and trigonometry and physics. The classroom was not the only place in which learning took place. Student Councilmen learned leader- ship. The playing field emphasized sportsmanship. Bus riders obtained infinite patience, and on the trips to the principals' offices, students dealt with fear.

Students learned iasic social skills. School was the perfect place to practice manners and practical politeness. A school was expected not only to add to a student's intellectual capacity, but also to broaden his social adjust- ment.

The Education Improvement Act raised the State sales tax from four cents to five cents in or- der to finance desperately—needed improvements in public education. Teachers received a much-needed salary increase, and the school re- ceived 20 Apple HE computers for a computer class. The Educational Im- provement Act also included many new regulations to improve the quality of education. The rule which students were most concerned about was the one limiting absences to 10 days instead of last year's 20 days. Like many other stu- dents, Danny O'Connor did not like this rule. He felt ten days was too strict. “I wish I could have a few days just for rest.” In October the Board of Educa- tion decided to increase the number of absences to 15 for athletes. Seniors were very upset about the new rule stating that students must gra- duate within 24 hours of their last day of school. Seniors in the past were per- mitted to miss the last several days of school. Sherry Cummings felt that sen- iors should not have to come to school the last few days because “it was one of the few privileges seniors had.” Beginning with the class of 1987, stu- Not realizing that the emphasis placed on tough- er educational standards would cause the work to begin on the first day of school, Glenis Mosley tries to fit all of her assignments on the only sheet of paper she brought. One of the old rules that students did not like was the prohibition of chewing gum. Mark Walling often ignores this rule in Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry. If caught, his punishment would be five pages of writing. 166 EDUCATIONAL ACT i rrce the Educational Act required that students Tams more courses, many new teachers were r rsd. One of these is Mr. James McCray who i-bi es geometry, chemistry, and physics. The computers were the part of the Educational Act that was most appreciated by students. Brian Kelly is one of the students given the opportunity to take a computer class. Since the Educational Act did not allot a time for clubs to meet, the Spirit Club was the only one that existed.

They will take another math and science. This has been changed to help students be accepted by colleges and universities when their requirements for admission become stricter in 1987. There were mixed feel- ings about this decision. Some students did not like the extra work, but others like Robyn Blakeman thought the rule would help improve education. “If you take more classes in high school, you’ll be better prepared for college. The school day was also lengthened. Each class was extended from 50 to 55 minutes. In order to abide by this rule, school began at 8:10 and ended at 3:10. Although many students did not like all of the rules, most agreed that im- provements were needed. The Educa- tional Improvement Act may be the an- swer. EDUCATIONAL ACT 167 The Question Is ... To Be or Not To Be “What am I going to be? A high school student often has trouble just deciding what to wear to school each day, so making a decision that will af- fect the rest of his life is almost impossi- ble. “It's hard to know what you want to do with the rest of your life when you're only 17, expressed Jack Nettles. Al- though it was a tough decision, it could not be avoided. The Career Planning Program test was administered to the juniors to show their aptitudes and in- terests. Guidance counselors aided stu- dents with their search for a career and a school of higher education. When a student decided which college he want- ed to attend, guidance counselors reg- istered students for the required ad- missions tests and sent students' Denny Ferrell plans ei- ther to join the Navy and become a nuclear engineer, or attend the Citadel or Baptist College and become a high school history teacher.

Of the 166 seniors surveyed, 72.3% planned to continue their education; 37.9% of these planned to attend a col- lege or university and 22.9% hoped to attend a technical school. Junior col- leges, modeling schools, and health-re- lated schools were among the other .choices. The technical school that most hoped to attend was Orangeburg Cal- houn Tech. Beaufort Tech and Trident Tech were the other choices. At techni- cal school, students prepared to learn things such as computer programming, masonry or secretarial skills. Of the college bound seniors, 80% desired to remain in South Carolina, while 46% of these hoped to attend the Issac Cochran plans to attend South Carolina State College and ma- jor in marketing and become an advertising consultant. “I chose business because it of- fers a variety of fields in which to major.” Sanaci Taylor plans to attend Oxford College at Emory University and become a pedo- dentist. “I appreciate the fact that Emory has given consider- ation to those who feel that they cannot adapt to a large university right out of high school.” Sherry Cummings plans to transfer to Florida after completing her freshman year at Carolina.

Penny Campbell fills out a form to receive more infor- mation from Francis Marion College. University of South Carolina. 19% of these seniors planned to attend an out- of-state college. Timothy Howell hoped to attend BYU. Other choices included Albany State College and the University of Alabama. A career in the military interested 12% of the seniors. The field of comput- ers was the second most chosen career field. The career choices of the seniors varied greatly. Patricia Walters wanted to be a professional dancer. Jennifer Clark and Mark Walling planned to be accountants. Other choices included cosmetology, masonry, nursing, law, electronics and modeling. Looking further into the future, after they finish their education, 15% of the seniors planned to return to live in Wal- terboro. Some students planned to live in Charleston or other South Carolina cities. Most of the students that planned to move out of South Carolina chose Florida or New York. No matter what a student's plans for the future, he had to make many prep- arations. He filled out admission appli- cations, applied for financial aid and scholarships, prepared for the Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery or planned for his wedding. After a student had made these preparations, he could only wait and see if he had learned enough in high school to survive in the real world. future 169 Working, Learning and Developing Interests and Aptitudes In Preparation For The Real World When students were tired of regular classes of studying the past, they put away their books and prepared for their future at the vocational school. The stu- dents began to prepare themselves for careers in industry, trade, commercial offices or food service. The vocational school prepared stu- dents for jobs right after high school. Courses were offered in auto mechan- ics, carpentry, drafting, electricity, ma- chine shop, masonry or welding. These classes gave students the skills and ex- perience necessary to acquire a job. Masonry II students helped construct the Bicentennial Park.

Students also learned many practices necessary in an office job. The food service department taught students the skills needed to acquire a job in the food preparation industry. Measuring, cooking methods and store- room procedures were taught. Juniors went to the vocational school fourth, fifth and sixth periods. Seniors attended the first three periods.

Unlike regular classes, the courses taught there give one the op- portunity to use the skills he has learned. Some of the students go on to technical school or secretarial school, but no further education is necessary. The vocational school prepares stu- dents for immediate entry into the job world. VOCATIONAL SCHOOl 171 Mixing Solutions, Analyzing Solutions and Searching For Solutions Mixing chemicals, heating, solu- tions, dissecting animals and weigh- ing objects were among the activities of the students who attended the sci- ence lab. Although the students had fun socializing with their friends, the chemistry, physics and biology teachers emphasized the impor- tance of paying attention in order to avoid accidents and get accurate re- sults. When asked why she emphasized the science lab as a major part of chemistry, Mrs. Spruill replied, “I love to let students experiment in lab because it teaches them to follow di- rections and not to leave anything to chance.” Another asset of experi- ments is that they give students the opportunity to prove the things they have studied. Some students found the experi- ments frustrating, especially when they did not get the proper results. Other students such as Dale Hoover and Paul Harrison found the experi- ments exciting. Paul said, “It’s fun to handle the lab equipment because it gives me a chance to do something that is fun and beneficial to me.” Whether students like it or not, sci- ence lab was something that every- one was required to experience.

Keeping Up With The Computer Revolution “I’ve Got A Apple!” With the Governor's Educational Plan and with a push for better education in our public school system, the school re- ceived the funds to buy twenty Apple II computers, and formed the first com- puter science lab. For the first time, the school offered a semester course in Computer Science, which was taught by Doug Bullock. The first semester classes were rath- er small, but that made the atmosphere more enjoyable and education more fun. The students researched the history of the computer dating back to 3000 B.C. They also learned how to operate the consoles and then how to program Bug In My the computer. The students were able to speak BA- SIC to their Apples. Basic is an acronym for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic In- struction Code and is a computer lan- guage. “Computer Science was fun, but it was filled with many working hours. It will help me when I go to college, re- marked Senior, Niki Woovis. The director of the Computer Sci- ence class, Doug Bullock had this to say, “I have always enjoyed teaching Computer Science. The students en- joyed working on their Apples, which made me happy. I’m looking forward to more Computer Science Classes. computers 173 During Summer And After School Dog Day Drills The summer was hot! The average temperature was ninety-five degrees and on August first, at exactly 7:30 a.m., the signal was obvious. As Mr. Bill Young walked out of his office, every- one was ready to begin the first day of practice. First, the members had the job of reacquaintingthemselves with their ne- glected instruments and scales. Mean- while, the flag girls met outside to go over the old moves and to learn new ones. Being a rookie on the colorguard just meant extra work, Shannon Cone, a rookie herself, explained, “We rookie flag girls try to do our best, but in all veterans’ minds we were still just rook- ies. I feel that I always do well because we are the best and always will be!” Like any typical band day it was time for fundamentals: eight to five, mark time left, right and about face usually occupied a full hour. Next, they prac- ticed formations which placed every- one in his exact spot on the field. Every formation was practiced until picture perfect. Usually around 10:30 each day they were allowed a break. Some members brought jugs of icewater but after a few sips, it was not long before water was all over everything and everybody. Every- one expected a watertight at break time, but it was all just for fun. After another hour of practice, it was time for lunch. Around twelve o'clock each day, band members would be found everywhere around town. McDonalds, Burger King and Pizza Hut were always popular places to go. This was the best time of the day for every- one. At the Palmetto Band Classic, Gus Bodison per- forms “Crown Imperial.” During a summer practice, Cathy Jones, Brian Moorer, and Bernard Magwood, practice a new formation.

The rest of the afternoon was spent working on music details for the band, while the flag girls and rifles learned their new routines. The day usually ended around 2:30, but some went home only to practice some more. The band members used the old saying “practice makes perfect'’ and that practice made this year’s band performances some of the best ever. BAND OF BLUE 175 4s Always . . . Superior In Every Way Each year the Band of Blue has given students pride and this year was no ex- ception. The drum majors, Jeff Shuman and Mary Gail Barwick, the band direc- tors, Mr. Bill Young, Mr. Keith James and Ms. Kathy Smith, and the whole band strived to give superior perfor- mances at the four contests—Cam- den, Barnwell, the State Festival and the State Fair. At the Camden and Barnwell con- tests, the band received superior awards in band front, drum line and overall performance. The band also won first place in its class. At Camden the drum majors also won a superior award. At the annual Palmetto Band Classic, sponsored by the Band of Blue, the band received an overall superior award. This year, instead of a state contest, there was a State Festival, where the band once again, received a superior award. Many band members were dis- appointed because there was not a state contest. “The Governor's Cup was the big contest, but it still can’t compare to State, said Reggie Baker, band captain. Although the band did not win the Governor’s Cup at the State Fair, it did receive blue ribbons in drum line, colorguard and overall perfor- mance. Besides competing, the band also promoted school spirit. Overall, the band was an important part of campus life. In every challenge the Band of Blue kept up its tradition of excellence. Drum major Mary Gail Barwick directs the band at the State Fair while the scoreboard announces that the “Band of Blue” is performing. 176 BAND OF BLUE :• '7-' Sophomore Tim Benson entertains crowd at a football game.

Even the students who do not win awards benefit from the attention. art 179 r Layout after Layout Headlining Different from other years, the year- book staff did more than just put to- gether the yearbook. Although that was a large and time-consuming task, the staff found time to sell ads, attend a workshop, organize a radio program, and tape a record for the yearbook.

A missed photo assignment or a story that was not written often delayed the completion of a spread, but these obstacles were overcome and the book was finished.

This record was to be included in the yearbook and sold to those who did not purchase year- books. Much preparation went into pro- ducing this record. Stories were written and edited, pronunciation was perfect- ed, and background music was select- ed. Staying up nights, running around at the last minute to collect ads and barely making those inevitable deadlines was the usual story of the yearbook staff; and the end of one year was just the beginning of another job. YEARBOOK STAFF 181 Expanding on the Knowledge of History The Tradition and Culture Live On Classes in World History and Local Heritage were offered to broaden stu- dents’ knowledge of the past. To make students more involved in history, field trips were often taken by the Local Heritage classes. In the spring the World History classes made projects. In Mrs. Nell Simmons' World History classes, each student constructed a famous landmark or reported on fam- ous people, places or events. A model of the Great Wall of China was made by Becky Smoak and Helena Strickland. Jayme Strickland designed a New Stone Age village. Katrina Colson con- structed a model of a cathedral. An es- tate during the Middle Ages was made by Kelli Stallings and Tammy Hager de- signed Marie Antoinette’s home. Mi- chelle Connelly painted a copy of a Mo- net.

They also visited Ravenwood Plantation and Bonnie Doone Plantation as well as many oth- ers in the Lowcountry. Issac Hayne’s burial site and many other places were visited in the semester course. The projects and field trips made his- tory more exciting and interesting and let students enjoy a learning exper- ience. history 183 “Listen To The Music” Chorus Puts on Spring Concert Chorus I, Advanced Chorus, and the Performing Chorus were the three divisions of the chorus. Chorus I consisted of first year students. Ad- vanced Chorus was made up of more experienced singers. The Performing Chorus was the elite chorus. Before a student could become a member of this chorus, he had to audition. In the fall the performing chorus sang at the dedication of the Blue Star Memorial Park. They also pre- sented a Christmas concert at the nursing home. The advanced chorus along with the performing chorus presented a Christmas concert in the gym. A cantata called “A Christ- mas Carol” and other familiar Christ- mas songs were performed. In November, 27 chorus members went to Columbia to audition for All- State Chorus. Miriam Belcher, Scott Langdale and Steve Hanna were cho- sen to be a part of the Honors All- State Chorus. During the weekend of March 22-24, these award-winning students went to Rock Hill where they practiced 14 hours along with the other Honors All-State Chorus members, and presented a concert Sunday afternoon. In February Ms. Buckner began as- sisting Mrs. Freeman. She was com- pleting her practicum for teacher certification. She worked with the chorus until April. In the spring the chorus presented another concert, entitled “Listen To The Music.” A barbershop quartet was an entertaining addition to the regular program of music. Chorus class was a time in the day when one could put away his books and relax. “It's a break in the day and it gives me a chance to sing,” said Julie Johnson.

Students who demonstrated character, leader- ship and scholarship were included in the National Honor Society. The Aca- demic team consisted of students who scored the highest on a test of general knowledge. Although the N.H.S. did not have an advisor until February, it sponsored a project to give underprivileged Colleton County children Christmas presents. A Christmas tree, adorned with the names of 105 childred, was placed in the office and volunteers took a name and brought that child a gift. The annual N.H.S. induction was held on the evening of March 14, in the min- iauditorium. N.H.S. members Jennie Padgett, Regina Hutto, Mark Walling, and Laura Bell led the candle light cere- mony that inducted 23 new members.

Instructional Breaks Visitors Offer Something Different Special events were almost always taking place to break the monotony of the same class, day after day. Guest speakers, musical groups, and plays were often at the high school and occa- sionally classes took field trips. Guest speakers visited the American government classes. Before the elec- tions in November, the Reverend Frank McCoy, a candidate for Superintendent of Education, spoke to the classes about local government. Mayor Elton Culpepper and city Manager Chris Bick- ley also spoke to Mrs. Hook’s American government classes. Mr. Chasteen from the sheriff's department was among the other guests. The govern- ment classes also took a field trip to the court house where they observed the' judicial process at work. Throughout the year there were many other guest speakers. Mr. Fred Aguaya, a representative from the Bell and Howell Company, talked with the A tornado drill gave Calvin Teasdale and Stevie Rivers a break from class.

English class presented “The Beginnings of the American Tradi- tion. The students dressed as people did 200 years ago and presented re- ports on important people and places of that time, Mrs. George's 9th grade English class acted out excerpts from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for the amusement of parents and other visitors. Musicians also shared their talent. The Dick Goodwin Jazz Quintet per- formed for the band and the North Greenville College Chorus entertained the chorus. Since there were no clubs or assem- blies, these special events were the only diversion from classes. Besides be- ing fun and interesting, these special events were also educational. SPECIAL EVENTS 189 Working hard For Their Success Those students who studied more and worked harder to make better than “just passing grades were rewarded in many different ways. Colleges and uni- versities recognized ambitious stu- dents and some were offered scholar- ships. Outstanding students were also given the chance to participate in hon- orary organizations. Many universities and colleges hon- ored academically outstanding stu- dents. Furman University scholars were seniors Richard Beach, Jennifer Clark and Sanaa Taylor and juniors April Craven, Dale Hoover, Harry Lane and Michelle Wasson. Erskine College Fel- lows were seniors Jennie Stephens, Sanaa Taylor and Mark Walling. Presby- terian College Junior Fellows were sen- iors Jennie Stephens, and Mark Walling and juniors Marlene Brabham, Dale Hoover, Harry Lane and Michelle Was- son. Matthew Crosby was a junior alum- ni of Western Carolina University. There were many scholarships of- fered to students. Sanaa Taylor was a finalist in the National Achievement Program for Outstanding Negro Stu- dents. She also won a $5000 scholar- ship from Georgia-Pacific and a schol- arship from Kappa Chi Zeta Phi Beta. Queen Lewis also won a scholarship for The members of the SAT Team” which consist- ed of students who scored over a 1000 on the SAT are Melissa Ammon, Jennie Padgett, Laura Bell, Jennifer Clark, Sara Taylor, Jimmy Cook, Scott Langdale, Richard Beach, Matthew Crosby, Randy Warsaske, Mark Walling and Jack Nettles. Denny Ferrell scored the highest on the SAT, an amazing 1250. Dale Hoover was chosen to attend Governor's School as well as being selected as a Furmar Scholar and a Presbyterian Junior Fellow. 190 awards Three large scholarship winners are Jennie Ste- phens who will attend the College of Charleston on a full scholarship, Sanaa Taylor who received the Georgia-Pacific scholarship, and Nathan Manneraak, the winner of a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Textiles. Michelle Wasson will attend Governor's School during the summer. this sorority. Matthew Crosby was awarded a College of Charleston schol- arship of $2000. Jennie Stephens was the College of Charleston Palmetto Scholar which entitles her to a scholar- ship totaling $8800 over four years. She also won the William Bo” Brice scholarship and the N.H.S. scholarship. Regina Hutto won the Elaine Fogle scholarship. Glenis Mosley was award- ed a scholarship from the N.C.N.W. Jennie Padgett received an Elks Schol- arship and was awarded the Miss DAR good citizenship award. Academically outstanding students were also selected to participate in honorary events. Michelle Wasson and Dale Hoover were chosen to participate in Governor's School. Dale Hoover was also chosen to participate in Boys' State. Michelle Portereiko was selected to participate in Girls’ State. Jennie Ste- phens and Glenis Mosley were chosen to participate in SPECTRA, a program at the College of Charleston that con- sists of a summer school program to help minority students adjust to college life. Glenis Mosley and Tim O’Briant at- tended the Hugh O’Brian Leadership Training Seminar. Jennie Padgett and Sanaa Taylor were chosen to be the Press and Standard correspondents. Although the work was hard, the scholarships and recognition seemed to make the extra effort worth while. awards 191 p Providing Services For A Smoothly Run School The responsibilities of the principal and administrators of the school are immense. Their main duty was to main- tain neutrality within the campus. Since the implementation of the act received negative reactions from many of the students, the administration was faced with the challenge of enforcing this law in such a way as to create minimal op- position. Although there was some controver- sey over the lack of clubs and assem- blies, there were no major problems. Principal Mack Jones encouraged stu- dents to appreciate the good aspects of school instead of the unfavorable ones. Each period was increased to 55 min- utes, but only 15 minutes was added to the school day. Mr. Steve Carter’s duties as an assis- tant principal included issuing parking permits and taking care of disciplenary problems in the vocational wing. He felt the largest problem was the confusion Associate Principal Mr. John Stephens shows his school spirit by attending the football games and most of the other school functions. Principal Mack Jones looks up as he makes a quick mental calculation before putting his pen into motion. 192 ADMINISTRATION % Although he is in charge of student activities, Mr. Franklin Barnhill also patrols the upstairsfor students. The duties of first-year assistant principal, Mrs. Helen Bodison include dealing with attendance problems and patroling the downstairs halls. Besides being an assistant principal, Mr. Steve Carter is also a football coach and the golf coach. caused by the interpretation of the E1A. “The EIA, in theory, was very good for education in general but little regard for actually enforcing it was taken into con- sideration. He felt that a gradual im- plementation would have been easier. Mr. John Stephens, the associate principal, agreed that EIA could have been more effective if it had been im- plemented differently. He felt that since the law was passed in June, there was not enough time to digest the law be- fore it became effective. He also thought that there was not enough time to explain the rules to the stu- dents. Mrs. Helen Bodison who was former- ly an eleventh and twelfth grade English teacher, was in charge of attendance and discipline on the first floor. What she enjoyed most about her new job was that it gave her the chance to meet people of different levels, backgrounds and interests. Throughout the school year the prin- cipals were always helpful to students and maintained discipline throughout the campus. They also constantly re- minded students that the reason they were in school was to learn. ADMINISTRATION 193 I Re. SEow Pace, ojj a «Howe. Town Though Colleton County students found it easy to complain that “We don't have anythingto do—this town is so dry,” seniors began to realize just how valuable a small town experience was. True, Walterboro lacked movie theaters, skating rinks, and putt-putt centers. The town had no malls, no swanky restaurants, and no teen clubs. But the closeness of the citizens was felt at the crowded football games, evenings at Sonic, and cruising down Jefferies Blvd. Mayor Elton Culpepper is an honorary member of the Spirit Club. He helps with transportation and funding whenever he can. A small town with big ideas accu- rately described Walterboro. The pleasures and pastimes enjoyed by Colletonians were varied and vast. The Colleton County Recrea- tion Center provided the town with a constant stream of activities and cul- tural experiences. The annual “Vari- ety,” a musical presented entirely with local talent, was held in early spring. The tenth annual Rice Festi- val was organized by interested and concerned citizens under the leader- ship of Mr. Horace Kinsey. Waiter- boro's 200th Christmas was cele- brated with numerous concerts, 194 THEME OF DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY jrch services, and a splendid pa- - :e. Colleton County certainly ex- iressed that “it’s not quantity but €?uality.” ♦Valterboro’s community life often «tended to other places. Only 45 —lutes from Charleston and the caches, diversions and small vaca- tions were easily accessible. But Col- letonians soon realized that visiting wasn’t all they did. Tourism was Wal- terboro's number two industry com- ing right after forest products. Though Walterboro was no land- mark, it provided a respite for 1-95 traffic. Calmly composed, Herbert Fields heroically bears the pain from the fearsome needle that the Blood Mobile worker jabs into him. (jet Cow.jjOttab2y COMMUNITY 195 FCX Hwy. 15 N.

While doing homework or studying for tests, students tuned in to their favorite radio stations. When asked where he sets his dial, Robert Glover replied, ‘1 like listening to The Big DM 101 be- cause it plays the popular R and B hits as well as the slow jams.” Some students listened to WALD Walterboro because they liked the variety of music and be- cause it kept them up to date on the things that happened in their community . . . not to mention its great coverage of the away foot- ball games. When asked where she sets her dial, Elanor Ackerman said that she like 95SX because of the com- edy show by Steve Cockram and Andrea Vincent.

The work didn’t halt : -siness as the transforma- : on-was as smooth as pos- sible. The renovation went om outside to inside. The zarking was paved for bet- ter organization and easier zccess. The building was zainted over for a brighter and cleaner appearance. Inside, walls were -nocked down, new carpet ■.as installed, and a larger tfork area evolved. The or- ganization of books changed with additional book cases, making it possi- ble for more open space. A whole wing was utilized for children’s needs and better suspension. In the original state a meeting room for public use existed. Over the years it was used for preschool aged children and audiovi- sual work. Now an audito- rium was built as a meeting room and an audiovisual area. The new renovations have brought many curious visitors to the library. Those people have helped boost the library’s busi- ness. A Picture Worth A Thousand Words MOTORCYCLE SALES AND SERVICE 24 HOUR WRECKER SERVICE WASSON'S AUTO SALES SERVICE 642 S. JEFFRIES 8LVD.

COMMUNITY DOWNTOWN FACELIFT The shops and malls of Charleston were very popu- lar places for the high school students. However unconsciously, this move to Charleston was hurting our own home town econo- my because of a lack of down town business. The merchants met to form a plan of action which was ba- sically a wholescale renova- tion and renewal of the downtown business dis- trict. The plan called for new building facades, awn- ings, modernization of signs, the repaving of streets and sidewalks, and a park where the old Stripes drugstore had been before it burned. After the merchants got the basic plan together, they handed it over to the city council and let them or- ganize it from there. In the final agreement the mer- chants agreed to buy and install the awnings and fa- cades and to pay a s25 fee in order to help the city with the street repairs. Al- though the 25 dollars paid by each Merchant was a drop in the bucket, it was a help and it showed the city how much they wished to improve the area and it made the people of Walter- boro think twice before go- ing to Charleston for some- thing they could get just as easily downtown. 202 COMMUNITY ADVERTISMENT FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS LOAN of Walterboro 300 Hampton St. Walterboro, SC 29488 Phone Number: 549-2526 For first class banking come to First Federal Savings Loan, Walterboro’s very own.

Whatever the out- come, the elections would undoubt- edly affect every students future in America. Although most students were not eligible to vote they could be heard talking about the newest rhetoric and their political philos- ophies. In early November the student body held a mock election, which foreshadowed the landslide reelec- tion of President Ronald Reagan. The young ladies were happy to see the addition of Geraldine Ferraro to the democratic ticket of presiden- tial candidate Walter Mondale, Fer- raro was the first female vice-presi- dential candidate of a major political party in the history of America. Many students were out at “The Press and Standard” late into the night awaiting the results from local precincts while others stayed home watching the results on television. Al- though everyone was not satisfied with the conclusion of the elections, hopefully it taught the power of the ballot to the students. So, when their time comes, they will participate in our democratic process, maybe even as presidential candidates Nicole Varnadoe and Michelle Craven discuss campaign tactics with Sheriff candidate Wayne Garris. COMMUNITY COMMUNITY 205 COMMUNITY The Farmer-Glover house before and after Rash’s renovation is an excellent example of some of the renovation work being done in the community. NOT LIKE THE OLD WAY Walterboro’s central resi- dential area contains many historical homes built in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last cen- tury. Although many of these homes deteriorated, others took on a new, fresh look this year. The Farmer-Glover house owned by Mr. Ron Rash, a former Walterboro High School teacher, and his wife Linda Rash, was built in 1840 and is listed in the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. The Rashes decided to buy and restore their home after moving to Atlan- ta and finding that city to be “too big as Mr. Rash said. Mrs. Rash feels “the charm of old houses is the way� they’re built. The base- boards in this house are four inches thick. You can build a house to look old, but you can't make it feel old. There are several other people to be commended for the ex- tensive work they’ve done on their homes. Paul Siegel renovated his summer bun- galow built in 1931; Mary and Bob Johnson worked on the building that once housed the first public school in the county, the Walterboro Academy. Wally and Pat Pa- lentonio completed the res- toration begun on their home located on the corner of Wichman and Lemacks, built in 1913. As far as these people and many others were concerned, there was no way like the old way.

The Press Standard donated film to the school. Plus each week, especially during football season, the Press re- ported on happenings around school and at the games. Mayor Elton Culpepper got local donations of helium to fill the thou- sands of balloons that the Spirit Club blew up. Mayor Culpepper also helped with the actual process of blowing up the balloons. A lot of the fast food places and other services sported “Congratula- tions” and “Good Luck” signs to all the teams. Burger King gave the cheerleaders free lunch on Fridays during football season. Probably the most impressive dis- play of support was when approxi- mately 5,000 Bulldog fans traveled to Summerville for that match up. No matter what aspect of town support we looked at, either physical or emo- tional, it was felt all over the school and community. Showing off his support for the bulldogs is Rob Novit, Associate Editor of The Press Standard. I Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Rural Electrician—America’s Greatest Turn-On!

GIVING FROM THE HEART The Bloodmobile made a regular visit to the school on February 21, 1985. Red Cross Nurses, with the help of volunteers, made the Bloodmobile a success. The re- sponse was overwhelming. Twenty donors had to be turned away at the end of the day due to lack of time. During the days before the Bloodmobile came to school, the fear of giving blood was the topic of many students’ discussions. Some students and faculty mem- bers were so frightened that on the days of the Bloodmo- bile, they could not donate because of irregular pulses or other self-induced “diseases.” However, the brave ones proved us all wrong in thinking that everyone was too scared to give blood. In this drive, students and faculty donated over 120 pints to the Red Cross. COMMUNITY ADVERTISEMENT 211 COMMUNITY COLLETON COUNTY ABLAZE The months of March and April brought many students fun and excitement, but the one thing these months did not bring was the much needed rain. The lack of rainfall caused dry forest condi- tions, and combined with high winds, brought a great deal of de- struction to Colleton County. The fire department and Forestry Commission worked together to save the hundreds of acres that caught fire. A fire occurred near 1-95 and burned rapidly for eight hours, de- stroying 580 acres. A forest fire on Francis Street left three houses completely destroyed. As an effort to control the num- ber of fires, a ban was put on out- door burning that remained in ef- fect until the amount of rainfall increased. The much needed rain finally came, bringing relief to many people. The only disappoint- ment was that the rain arrived on Jr. Sr. weekend; but the students were thankful that the short drought was over and made the best of their weekend. One of the many destructive fires which occurred this spring is extinguished by Rural Fire Department Captain, Jimmy Syfrett.

CASTING LOTS The week before the Presiden- tial Elections, the Student Council Yearbook Staff conducted a mock election. The students were required to register during lunch periods at the designated voting polls. Students cast their votes for Reagan or Mondale. The results paralleled the actual election re- sults, which Reagan won with a landslide. Typical of the voting-age popu- lation, only about 30% of the stu- dent body registered. The purpose of the mock elec- tion was to generate an aware- ness of the importance of the vo- ting privilege. Many seniors looked forward to voting for the first time in the June primary. As registered voters, they anticipat- ed jury service and further elec- tions. ADVERTISEMENT 217 COMMUNITY Rizer Chevrolet- Oldsmobile Co., Inc. 351 N. Jefferies Blvd. P.O.

SITTING FOR BUCKS Phone: Home—549-5727 or 538-3344 Shop—459-7323 Portable Electric and Acetylene Welding Automatic Burning and Boiler Repairs During the school year many students found that they did not have time to hold after school jobs but still needed some extra mon- ey. Therefore many students turned to babysitting. Some liked to babysit because they liked chil- dren while others did it just for the money. When asked why she liked to babysit, Beth Bryan answered, “I like to babysit because I love children, and it is a good way to pick up some extra money.” Babysitting also left many memories to students. After the children went to bed, the best way to pass the time was to call a friend and talk of the day's activi- ties. Many sitters even took a friend along for company. Whatever the reason, students found babysitting to be worth- while and enjoyable. advertisement 219 COMMUNITY COMMUNITY LEARNING TO SUCCEED Commissions, stocks, liquidating loans, entre- preneuers and corpora- tions were probably ob- scure words to most students, but to the members of Junior Achievement they be- came second nature. Junior Achievement was one of the few active clubs this year. It was composed of 7 mem- bers, from both Ruffin and Walterboro High Schools, and their advi- sors Mrs. Esther Bright, Miss Rachel Harper, Mrs. Nancy Beach and Mr. Tom Luguiski. The club sponsored a number of retailing projects. The most successful of them was the Bulldog T-shirt. The purpose of the club and its projects saw to expose the students to business and prepare them for their future. Junior Achievement members: Kellye Whittaker, Mrs. Bright, Lynn Boles, Sonya Fryar, Dionne Maloney, Carol Maloney, Kim Maloney, Rachel Harper and Randy Beach. Junior volunteers: Marlene Brabham, Patricia Ford, Melissa Aiken, Carla Lawson, Dawn Moses, Kim Craven, Angela Crosby, Amy McDaniel, Susan Abrahamson, Sandy Butler, Michelle Ed- wards, Carla Thomas, Angela O’Quinn, Lilian Rogers, Yolanda Pinckney, and Monroe Rhodes.

Though the year was rough and pa- tience wore thin, I am pleased to say that the Paw Print Staffers of 1984-85 created and produced a jam- up yearbook. It may not be perfect but all those people involved, the entire school, in fact, should be proud to be a part of a year at old W.H.S. Paw Print 1985, Volume XV was printed by Herff Jones Yearbooks, Montgom- ery, Alabama, with the guid- ance of yearbook specialist, Steve Karelitz. This book was printed on 80 lb. Bordeaux glossed enamel paper. Type face used for headlines, cap- tions, and copy was News Gothic. Bingham Script was used on the dividers. The board weight pt. 120, and was lithographed with four color process, then la- manated. End sheets are CX- 4 Red colortest stock printed in HJ600 Black. Richard Beach, staff artist, is cred- ited with the original cover design and a Herff Jones art- ist developed the final draft. Five hundred books were sold. The initial cost of each book was $16.00. In my editor’s note, I would like to thank Rob Novit and his lifesaving photos, The Press and Standard and its facilities, and Bryn-Alan Stu- dios and their ever cheerful photographer, Mike Bow- den. His aid and Bryn Alans tolerance, (we had a great flood) is much appreciated. I would also like to recog- nize Mrs. Janis Blocker’s quick eye for grammatical errors and misspelled words and Mrs. Marilyn Zielke’s never-ceasing dedication to this publication. If the hours Mrs. Zielke has spent were counted and she was paid for them, she’d surely be a mil- lionare. And that’s not count- ing the hours she has laid awake at night worrying about deadlines while the staffers slept like babies. I thank you Mrs. Zielke for your advice, your shoulder, and your tolerance of my year-long case of senioritis. index 233 SubstawCe- Q ttOid Jl .ewioJiieS As life progressed, one had to learn to deal with changes and different ways of doing things. High school, if one took advantage of the opportunities presented, provided a perfect place for adjustments and social growth. High school's vital memories, the ones that kept us nos- talgic, consisted of friends and fun, not “basic skills.” But the high school spectrum, cov- ered by the Paw Print, reflected the students life, their academics, the people they knew (and didn’t know), their fun and games, and the com- munity in which they lived. Student life highlighted a few aspects of high school life such as the prom and Jr. Sr. weekend, fashion and dating, and graduation. Academics tended to cover new courses and diversions such as chorus and band. These spe- cial groups worked hard and de- served some extra attention. People conveniently listed all persons en- rolled at the school in an attractive and flattering way. And sports, a most detailed section, tried to note every game played and recognize ev- ery athlete involved. But the community section, often regarded as dull and lifeless, reflect- ed a most important part of a Colle- ton County student's life. This sec- tion observed and noted the things in the environment that touched every- one in some way. The parades, Vari- ety '85, The Rice Festival, Main Street, and the Library—these things and more affected the lives and interests of all Colletonians. Local florists deliver scads of flowers each Valentine’s Day. This year 300 deliveries decorated the school. Finding the chaos amusing is Terry Jones with his girlfriend, Terry Harvey, 234 theme development WALTER0ORO HIGH SCHOOL School spirit is evidently displayed in the smiling faces of Michelle Pryor and Monica Gillespie. The sight the faculty and students view daily was given a good grade by the Southern Asso- ciation. The school was evaluated in March by the 21-member team.

She outlines and works out flexible and efficient balloon schedules, while she maintains her busy job as principal’s secretary. THEME DEVELOPMENT 235 Ik THe. JV ltud- A yearbook's primary responsibil- ity was to record the events of the year that made memories for all school members These were the memories that impressed upon stu- dents that school was intended for them and their needs. But the yearbook can’t “remem- ber” everything. Only the individual that experienced high school life in 1985 will remember glancing at that one special and “exaulted” person as he passed by between classes in the English Hall. A yearbook can’t ex- press the special bond one shared with a locker buddy or a lab partner. Ink and paper can’t quite capture the thrill of a football victory or a great report card. And though a yearbook may try, it can't determine the feelings a senior has upon graduation. That emotion is determined by the personal and private memories each graduate has — memories of pain, tears, smiles, laughs, and special friends. Office Staffers provided much of the change needed by thirsty students. Kim McNeil feeds her quarters into the canteen Coke Machine. Smiling faces make friends a lot faster. The Bulldog and Heather Barwick chat with one another at a ball game. 236 THEME DEVELOPMENT A Second. o|j Pawsibiteies Ever since the Paw Print's theme for 1984-85 was decided, the staff busily searched for interesting facts and records that pertained to our history. This is only a partial listing of the in- formation we came across, but we think this collection is most interesting. Almost 60 years ago, in 1926, only l2Vz units were required for graduation.
