COunCM- • ANDRE HARLEY, Philip Taylor and Scott Riggins send femi- nine hearts fluttering with their rendition of New Edition’s slow ballad “Let’s Be Friends.” Back by Popular Demand On February 12, the Junior Class sponsored a Lip Sync contest in the mini-auditorium to raise money for the prom. Some of the acts featured were the Council, the Scorpions, Madonna, and New Edition. The winners were the Scorpions, who performed Rock You Like A Hurricane.” The success of the first lip sync warranted hav- ing another. This one, co-sponsored by the juniors and the Spirit Club, was held in the Hampton Street Auditorium on March 28. Those participat- ing in this contest were the Council, the Scorpi- ons, Cyndi Lauper, Phoenix, Kiss, Elton John, Diana Ross, and the Varsity Football Team. To no one’s surprise, the Scorpions and the football team tied for first place in the group com- THE COUNCIL, consisting of Ben Boensch, Randy Hall, Ed- die Benton, and Jay Crosby (on drums), was a highlight of the March 28 Lip Sync. petition. By a very close audience vote, the Scor- pions won their second victory in a row with “Met- al Health,” a song recorded by Quiet Riot. In the singles competition, Cyndi Lauper, as portrayed by Carla Lawson, who was clad in a green leotard and blue skirt, won hands-down. Tim Smoak en- joyed both performances. They were very enter- taining,” said he, “especially considering that there’s nothing else to do around town. I look for- ward to the next one.” Lip syncs were very popular with students. “Puttin’ on the Hits” was a favorite television show that most students enjoyed watching. “I en- joy it because I like seeing people try to imitate their favorite singers,” explained Karen Kinlcoh.

JAMMIN’ IS DEFINITELY a hot Saturday night spot! A crowd can always be found there! Fantastic Weekends After a long week of homework, tests, reports, and projects, students looked forward to a fun- filled weekend. Weekends were spent sleeping late, going shopping, and being with friends. Every so often, there was a big party which everyone made an effort to attend. Weekends were fantas- tic because the choices for entertainment were numerous. Although plans for activities were made on the spur of the moment, no problems were caused. Usually students were better off not making plans, for this caused high hopes. If plans were broken, so were the hopes. During the beginning of the year, weekends were spent at football games, band competitions and at the malls or beaches. However in the win- ter, students stayed indoors. Luckily, a telephone, T.V., and VCR were at their disposal. Getting a movie or inviting a bunch of friends over was very popular. In the spring, possibly the greatest thing that could ever happen affected the youth of Waiter- boro. Jammin’, a teen club, opened at the old Moose Lodge on Hwy. 15. Now Friday nights were spent dancing, socializing, and listening to great pop tunes. Jammin’ was a dream come true. Its success was quite evident, for it was packed full of teen- agers even when other events were occurring. Even with the success of Jammin’, Charleston and Edisto Beach were still popular weekend spots. Since Charleston boasts an array of mails and clothing stores, teens spent their parents hard earned money shopping there. Despite the complaints of nothing to do, teen- agers were never reaily bored, at least not for more than ten minutes, because with a little inge- nuity, any one could find something to do.
