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.

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? Sophomores faced the challenge of putting on a Spring Dance with very little time or help from the ad- ministration. Everybody’s time seemed short and the main time tak- 6 THEME DEVELOPMENT
