Over one hundred parents and fans traveled to Columbia to cheer the band to a second place award. Beaming with excitement and happi- ness, Homecoming Queen April Pinck- ney waves to the cameras as the flash- bulbs snap. April also served as Band Captain. In preparation for the Sidewalk Art Show, Lucius Moore works on his wa- tercolor of wood ducks in Mrs. Wad- dell’s fourth period Art III class. In honor of the Great American Smoke- out, the library sponsored a campaign during second lunch. Students released balloons in its support. 4 Theme Development Friends Can Find Fun Anywhiere n typical days, students de- vised means by which they could turn an ordinary day into a day to re- member, sometimes producing outrageous results. November 20, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Funderburk decked the halls in garnet and black, while strains of “2001” were heard throughout the hall. Of course Clemson fans would not be out done, as the “Tiger Rag” rang over the intercom and orange and purple brightly decorated the students and teachers alike. Good-natured fun was the order of the day as students ar- gued over which team would win the annual contest. Students also found fun getting involved in community activities. Variety '88 had its usu- al share of students in the cast, while the Rice Festival offered a fun- filled weekend for ev- eryone. American Gov- ernment teacher Mr. Greg Cranford encour- aged participation in lo- cal government; stu- dents found that being involved was interest- ing and fun, especially when they realized that their friends would be at the same council meetings. The good times shared and the fun gleaned from everyday school activities proved not only to lighten the attitude of the school, but also made the broad state- ment that this was where the fun started. Attempting to intercept a pass from the Baptist Hill quarterback at the Ser- toma Classic, Miguel Koger leaps high above the mass of players as Hunter Hiers works through the offensive line. Walterboro won, 14-0. Friday, November 20, one day before the Ciemson Carolina game, students showed their enthusiasm for their favor- ite team by donning sweatshirts, hats, and boxer shorts. The Gamecocks were victorious with a score of 20-7. Fun 5 fill ' I I i E ndlessSummer c ) nee Upon a Summer Daze he wonder- ful institu- tion, “Sum- mer Vaca- t i o n , ’ ' began June 4, 1987. Students rushed to their cars, buses, and their parents cars to begin 61 days of sum- mer “BLISS!” Tammy Byrd, a ju- nior and “sun worship- er,” sarcastically com- mented, “Sitting on the beach for endless hours, no responsibil- ities, no homework, no papers, and endless fun—it really makes me want to ‘run’ right back to school!” The “endless” sum- mer was often inter- rupted by the beckon- ing call of jobs, band camp, football camp, softball camp and countless other camps and workshops. Mary Morris, junior, worked two weeks in Tennes- see at “Camp Look- out” for emotionally disturbed children. “It was difficult at times, but I did form some strong bonds with some of the children.” As the “endless” summer began to dwin- dle away, band camp began. Misty Linder, a rookie in the Band of Blue, commented, “Band camp was hard and infringed on a lot of my free time but when the show started to come together it was all worth it!” The date August 24, struck fear in the hearts of students as they realized that they must face the reality and responsibility of school again. Summer was over and all they had to look forward to was June 3, 1988. EH Nathaniel Pinckney “chills out” during lunch break at band camp. The band prac- ticed on the hardest show in the history of the Band of blue. Shelly O’Quinn helps Charo- lette Hickman attempt'’ to wash dishes. Household chores were a part of everyday life for students over the summer. Tracey Reeves, Michelle Min- ton, Rosemary Jenkins and Ta- mika Bonaparte spend some time with Grimace. The volley- ball team held a surprise birth- day party for Kayce Reed and Rosemary Jenkins one day after practice. 8 Student Life A soap opera buff, Jody Pilch, a “Young and Restless” senior, stays cool watching summer soaps. Monica Linder enjoys a quiet moment with ‘'Oatmeal'’ her Snow Bear. Monica rests after a tong day at journalism camp. Mike Scarbough takes a nap while Johnny Hampleton re- laxes during a break at band camp. It was during lunch break when band members took time for a quick nap, a bite to eat, or some friendly conversation. Charlie Blocker, Sheldon Brown, and Stevie Williams spend some time together at the infamous “Pizza Hut. Pizza hut was one of the most popular hangouts this summer.

The tradi- tional Spirit Week was undertaken with much enthusiasm by all par- ticipants. The first day of Spir- it Week was a teacher workday. Tuesday turned the population into a mass of mis- matched clothes and outgrown apparel as “Slob Day” began. Teachers were quite outspoken in their par- ticipation on this day. Wednesday brought very unusual guests to the halls as Don John- son, Dolly Parton, and Whoopi Goldberg were a few of the characters present for “Celebrity Day.” Thursday al- lowed the students to show off their eccentic and less accentric tastes for “Hats and Shades Day.’ Stu- dents were required to purchase tickets in or- der to wear these items. The mass participa- tion came on Friday. “Blue and White Day” took place on the day of the Homecoming Pep Rally. Support was overwhelming, not only for the football team, but also for the Band of Blue, who would defend their state championship the very next day. Fredricka Washing- ton sadly commented, “This is the last pep rally, the last spirit week, the last cheer, the last light, and soon to be the last march for the class of “88.” By Garnnette Mosley and Tim Smoak Yalonda Pinckney, Vernisa Bo- dison, and Lawanda Aiken throw a surprise party for Miguel Koger on “Slob Day.” Portraying Whoopi Goldberg on “Celebrity Day” was the per- fect choice for Jr. class comedi- an Terri Siders.

Homecoming d rowning Glory R oses for April s in any high school, home- coming is a big event. So it was at WHS. All during the week students partici- pated on the designat- ed days to show their support and spirit for their school. Yet, while many students were participating, contes- tants for homecoming were practicing. Over twenty young ladies signed up for the title but only five finalists were chosen. This was decided by the senior class. The senior foot- ball players voted for their favorite candi- date to be the Home- coming Queen. Mrs, Dolores Hiers, along with Mrs. Kate George, contributed to the success of home- coming by taking the time to help direct the event and guide the participants during practice. During half time the crowd re- ceived an unexpected surprise. Varsity cheerleaders partici- pated in a most original marriage proposal to Ms. Loretta Hughes Congratulating senior April Pinckney on her new title as Homecoming Queen with a bou- quet of roses is assistant princi- pal, Mr. Frank Barnhill. April was a band captain and played the bells. Varsity Cheerleaders hold the Homecoming banner in readi- ness for the Bulldogs. The Spirit Club and the cheerleaders worked all week preparing it. from Mr. Jarvis. The honor could not have been any greater for April Pinckney when it was an- nounced she would be the reigning homecom- ing queen. She ex- pressed her happiness by saying “Being crowned Ms. WHS Homecoming Queen was a present because it was my birthday. What more could 1 have wanted!? Thanks to the student body and class of 88'!” by Gayle Carroll $1U In 1958 Janis Kin- sey, now Mrs. Janis Blocker, was Homecoming Queen. In 1968 Ms. Faye Breland was Homecoming Queen and in 1978 Ms. Linda Lawton was Homecoming Queen. Student Life 17 F ash ioi nable Fun A I ways in Style T m hings were m quiet as far m as fads went. At ____] the begin- ning of the year Spuds McKenzie, the Brittish Bull Terrier that spon- sored Bud Light, was the “in” shirt to wear. These shirts were fash- ionable until Strom Thurman said that Spuds was influencing minors to consume al- cholic beverages, Bud- Light to be specific. Yet Spuds was not nec- essary to influence teenagers. Other preferred shirts inlcuded: over- sized, tie-dyed, mock turtle necks, and skate “rags”. Since the pop- ularity of skating had increased with more people than just the skaters themselves, skate rags” were con- sidered totally cool. Ja- mie Iriel commented, “It’s not what you wear, it’s what you do, how you skate. But I like to dress to skate.” The biggest clothes fad to hit Walterboro was acid-jeans. These were normal jeans soaked in an acidic substance. This fad eventually lead to the acid-jean jackets and accessories. As far as other fashions went, new shoe brands be- came a “must” for ev- ery outfit. British Knights, Spot-bilt, and even L.L. Bean boots became the hottest in town. The latest polls have shown that high- tops remained on the top of the list. g| by Scott Schlesser ?f The tie-dyed shirts popular this year began as a fad in the late 60’s with the hippie move ment. Larry Penfield, Brantley Pad- gett, Robbie Meetze, and Jimmy Hoagland take advantage of the School Board's ruling to allow students to wear shorts at school. Larry was a major factor in persuading the school board to change the previous ruling of no shorts. Jamie Iriel dons his skate rags. Most of Walterboro’s skaters wore this sometimes outrageous apparel Anyone who wore rags and did not skate was consid- ered a Mposer . 18 Student Life Hard Rock ' r ' • Gabriel Yermo brings fashions from a far and proves that Wal- terboro is not secluded from the fashion world. Anthony Womble wore a knit- ted cap to a typical dance, while his dance partners Nichole Green and Mary Ann Glover ex- pressed their own fashion state- ment. While engaging in a personal conversation on the “TALK THING”, Fredricka Washington, also a varsity cheerleader, sports the popular acid jean jacket while chowing down on some good grub. Both William Brothers and Re- gis Allen were known for their often sophisticated dressing style. Regis even ventured to wear an earring. Fashions 19 Displaying the hard labor which went into the NHS Christ- mas Ball is Billy Stanfield. It took over two hours just to get the tree set up for the event. Doing the tango” during a choral rendition of “Jingle Bell Travelogue” are Carmen Sauls and Roger Walker. This selec- tion imitates Christmas in Ja- pan, Russia, Spain, Austria, and the USA. Shelly O’Quinn selects a name from the NHS Christmas tree in the main office. The tree pro- vided a simple way for the stu- dents and faculty to give to un- derprivileged children. -T • T IS the Seas C hristmas in the 'Boro HS had an unusually festive Holiday season because of the high spirits of the stu- dent body. Different sectors contributed to the celebration by sponsoring separate activities to entertain the students. The Business Edu- cation classes decorat- ed the student store with Christmas para- phenalia to give the students the holiday spirit. The choral depart- ment, having waited for the chance, held the first concert of the school year. The Student Council soon got into the swing of things and put on a Miss WHS-Merry Christmas Pageant. The pageant featured the modeling of casual wear and formal wear by the participants, the crowning of Class queens, and some out- standing home grown entertainment. The National Honor Society placed a Christmas tree in the main office to acquire gifts for needy chil- dren. Perhaps the larg- est celebration came in the form of the first an- nual. Christmas Ball. Honor Society member Billy Stanfield, who was instrumental in sponsoring the Ball, stated, “We accom- plished three goals with this project. We had fun, raised funds, and enlivened the Hon- or Society.” gfj By Tim Smoak r dfq ■ The centerpiece Christmas tree at the Naional Honor Society Christmas Ball was imported all the way from Savannah, Geor- gia. It included over 300 lights and 250 candy canes. The Bulldog mascot and the en- tire WHS cheerleading squad ride the float which was created by the Spirit Club for the Christ- mas parade. The float represent- ed all sport teams at WHS. Taking a break from the dance floor are Joey Jackson, Tonya Lloyd, Faye Olds, and Hope Lights. All students attending the Ball helped the Honor Soci- ety to a huge succes. Christmas 21 s students M M sat in ™ homeroom and I i s T”'“ tened to the morning announce- ments, they could al- most predict Leah C. Bell saying “Today’s lunch is Hamburger on bun, french fried pota- toes, and milk.” French fries appeared on the lunch menu ev- ery day. Was this an undying infatuation or the easiest side order to cook? In any case Walterboro High School ordered and prepared over 51,000 pounds of french fries last year. The hambur- gers, which always seemed to accompany french fries, must have buns. Therefore over 85 dozen buns for each day of hamburgers and other bun-related foods were ordered. For the most part, students did not care about the number of french fries or the number of buns. They only ate them. However, lunchtime was more than a time to eat. It was a time to do homework, to so- cialize, and to work. It was students’ only break during a seven- hour day of hard work. Some dedicated stu- dents actually worked during their lunch peri- od. Students worked in the Students’ Store. The journalism staff sold various items throughout the year. Also, the student coun- cil members often sold tickets to school activi- ties. Student council member Becky Smoak said, “I did not mind working during lunch as long as it was for a good cause. ” by Scott Schlesser JJjjj The lunchroom em- ploys 15 women in- cluding cook, cash- iers, and part-time help. As Jennifer Chipukites talks away, Brantley Padgett indulges in the day’s lunch during a typi- cal lunch period. These were only two of the students who could be found gossipping and stuffing their faces. Andrea Council lets nothing get in her way when she is trying to talk to David Powell. This in- cludes her friend Lawanda Ai- ken. 22 Student Life Joseph Gethers and Greg Smith show the right way to fix a hamburger Popular choices for toppings were ketchup, mus- tard, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. Michelle Edwards, Katrina Avant, Ailison Keith, Wallace Guilford, and Seth Huckabee each find something different to do. Lunch was a time for stu- dents to finish homework and to socialize. Adjusting his curly locks was one way Byron Crawford spent his lunch period. Byron was not- ed for his pranks and antics. Dumping trays into the trough of flowing brown gunk was per- formed daily by John Syfrett and Craig Duffie in order to avoid being punished. The pun- ishment for not dumpings trays was detention during lunch. Lunch m ogs Pump up the Volume Quick, catch that fris bee! Those were the words said by many students at the second pep rally before the Summer- ville game. Q107 was present to present the “Team of the Week” trophy to WHS for their outstanding victory over the Wando War- riors. At this pep rally, both the varsity and ju- nior varsity cheer- leaders were cheering and Dr. Barry Hill threw Q107 frisbees out to the students. The varsity did their “Brass Monkey” dance routine, and the junior varsity also cheered. After the cheer- leaders aroused the crowd, the varsity foot- ball team had a sur- prise. Kenneth Bow- man and exchange stu- dent Kent Holm dressed up for the oc- casion. They did a ren- dition of “Wipe Out” by the Fat Boys and the Beach Boys which turned out to be a great success. At the first pep rally, only the var- sity cheerleaders cheered. Since we had eleven foreign exchange stu- dents, it was natural to ask them what they thought about the pep rallies. Regina Ornilla said, “It is a whole new experience to me, we don’t have pep rallies in my country, but I thought there would be a lot more of them. Even though all the students didn’t have the high spirit, I like the pep rallies and I think we should have them in my country too.,5j|| by Kristina Nielsen The current Bulldog mascot costume was purchased in August 1982 and cost $500. Previous to that time all mascot costumes were handmade. Jackie Carter, Chris Rusher, John Syfrett, Craig Duffie, and Frankie Murdaugh display their sophomore enthusiasm, while catching the spirit with the help of the Band of Blue. After accepting the “Team of the Week” trophy from Q107's Dr. Barry Hill, Kenneth Bowman and Kent Holm show that they are the real Fat Boys.” 24 Pep Rallies At the Homecoming pep rally, members of the varsity football team intently watch their fellow teammates rendition of “Wipe Out1' by the Fat Boys. Junior Donna Chapman proves that she possesses Just the right amount of zest and gus- to to stand out in a crowd. Introducing the junior varsity football team at the Homecom- ing pep rally, Coach Polk proud- ly displays his satisfaction of this year's team while introduc- ing Jay Davis. Pools always provide fun in the summer months. Michael Man- neraak takes advantage of this one at teacher, Janis Blocker's house at a reception for the for- eign exchange students. Teachers are also allowed to have fun ocassionally. A1 Reit- man and H. Mark Bowers utilize their Sunday best” on ‘‘Slob Day” during Spirit Week. The Drive-in not only provides fun but it is the only way to see a current movie without driving to Charleston. April Raymond and her friends are watching RAW featuring Eddie Murphy. 1 1 v iat We Do i ust For Fun Having fun was top pri- ority with teenagers “1“ ““ and in Wal- terboro “fun” was usu- ally what you made of it. During the cooler • months, football games provided Friday night fun, although, Saddle and Shriner’s Club parties were very popular. Most students just cruised the boule- vard — Jefferies — and went to the park in Forest Hills, Pizza Hut, or maybe to the Drive- In. Norman Bouges commented, “As long as you are with your friends, having fun is as easy as laughing.” When Walterboro left something to be de- sired, students flocked to Charleston. Charles- ton provided a diversi- fied array of entertain- ment including malls, movies, putt-putt, bowling, restaurants, skating, and “Teen Parties” held at some of the teen clubs such as “Premier” and “Streamers.” When the warmer months approached, students could always be found at the beach- es, rivers, swimming pools, or just lying out in the sun. The most popular hang-out was Edisto Beach, Anne Hall had this to say about Edisto beach, “Junior-Senior week- end at Edisto beach has been the best weekend so far, but I’m looking forward to hav- ing some more great weekends at the beach.” Chugging is common in the Pizza Hut, an infamous teenage hang-out. Brad MacLean watch- es as Eddie Wilson quenches his thirst. The school dances provided students with fun and much needed breaks from books, teachers, and homework. Kenny Bowman shares this dance with Anna Williams. Paw Print 88 was begun in June 1987 at CISC journalism camp. It took one long year to com- plete. The last pages were sent in 6-20-88 Fun, Fun, Fun w ha t We Do i ust For Fun T m he school M provided ™ entertain- ment for students by sponsoring dances, both in and out of school, which gave stu- dents a break from the monontany of school. Principal, Bob Pence, members of the facul- ty, and leaders of the community also par- ticipated in a “Don- key1' basketball game which was promoted by Mr. Pence’s riding of his donkey through- out the school. The fac- ulty men also played the senior boys in an in- school basketball game which gave stu- dents several reasons to laugh. The school also provided inter- mural sports in the gym to entertain stu- dents. All in all, students could always find ways of “making” fun, even if it was renting a mov- ie and inviting friends over to sit home! Cristy Beckett commented- ‘Whether it is the Commons Area at school, the beach, or Burger King, it is the people not the place that make being there fun.” PH] by Monica Linder It was not uncom- mon for students to spend up to twenty dollars a week for movies from local video stores. Skateboarding has become in- creasingly popular in the last year. Jimmy Hoagland shows one of the tricks he has perfect- ed for the rest of his “skate” friends. Helping Leah Bell get “wrapped up in her work” is Mike Hiott, Robyn Balkeman, and Michael Scarborough. Ev- eryone has fun in the journalism room. 28 Student Life Backyard football is always fun. Peter Lommen, Rodney Stanley, and Mike Wilson Start a game in front of Peter's house in Forest Hills. The senior section of the gym always has the most spirit. Rhonda Robinson, Monica Holmes, Yolonda Kennedy, and their friends let everyone know that they are not only proud to be seniors but also Bulldogs. Football games supported the “wild life on Friday nights. Shea Robbins, Charles Thomas, Micheal Fennessey, and Jamie Ireil could always be found “goofing off at home games. Fun, Fun, Fun A smile of Joy and relief could be seen on the face of Rhonda Robinson, Miss WHS, as she re- ceived her flowers from Bob Pence, Smiling an exuburant smile as Mr. Banhill attaches her banner is Miss Merry Christmas, Shan- non Cone. Responding to one of the im- promptu questions asked of the contestants is Lorrie Westbury, Miss Freshman. Receiving a “helping hand from Erica Manigo is Debra Moody. Anne Hall was crowned as the new Miss Junior. 30 Student Life SW ter hur- JT ft dling nu- jf m e r o u s complica- tions, the Student Council spon- sored the Class Queen Pageant. This display ■of the more beautiful side of WHS featured the crowning not only of class queens, but also of Miss WHS and Miss Merry Christmas. The student council asked Senior Yolanda Pinckney to organize the event, and with the help of a few dedicated committee members, the pageant became a successful endeavor on December 18. Tim Smoak and April Pinckney served as master and mistress of ceremonies, while school administrators crowned the individual queens. Christy Green and Tim Smoak pro- vided vocal entertain- ment, while Mr. Jim Rhode presented selec- tions on the piano. Shannon Cone claimed the title of Miss Merry Christmas. Class queens were: Lorrie Westbury, Miss Freshman; Melissa Bennett, Miss Sopho- more; Anne Hall, Miss Junior; and Katrena Colson, Miss Senior. These were selected by judges who were given the opportunity to view the contestants in formal and casual wear. The participants were also required to answer a spontaneous question for the audi- ence. Rhonda Robin- son was crowned Miss WHS by popular vote. The Student Coun- cil attained its goal of providing quality en- tertainment for the community of Waiter- boro while raising funds. Mrs. Lynn Stro- ble, stated. ‘The pag- eant was a terrific suc- cess. jSjjjl by Monica Linder Modeling a smile along with her casual wear is Glenda Collette, a contestant for Miss Sophomore.

Student Council spon- sored several projects to raise money includ- ing candy sales, the Valentine’s Day Heart Chain, and in-school dances. A pageant was also held at Christmas time. Special fun- draisers were held to raise money for MDA and Cystic Fibrosis Or- ganizations. The Red Cross Blood Mobile was stationed at the school twice during the year and was success- ful, thanks to the ef- forts of blood drive chairman, Mr. Frank Barnhill. Mrs. Stroble was also instrumental in arranging the drive, with Student council members assisting dur- ing their study hall per- iods. The Student Council not only organized fund-raisers and school activities; but also, be- ing the voice of the stu- dents, the Council had to intercede in issues where students and ad- ministration disagreed. The biggest complaint to come before Stu- dent Council was the tardy system. Many students felt that pun- ishment after three tar- dies, even in three dif- ferent classes, was un- ethical, unfair, and “totally uncalled for,” according to senior Mi- chael Scarborough. The elections for the 1988-89 Student Coun- cil and class officers wrapped up the year. “I really enjoyed the Student Council. Hard work was involved, but it was FUN,” replied senior Rudean Farmer.■ by Garnette Mosley 96 pints of blood were donated at the first blood drive, while 85 pints were donated at the second. Jennifer Gerard was elected District I Chari- person. After giving blood, Deana Benton waits for the bleeding to stop. The blood drive is an annual event sponsored by Student Council and the American Red Cross Associ- ation. Student Council 33 Helping to prepare for the prom are Jarvice McMillian and art teacher, Julia Waddel. Steamers were draped from a mirrored ball in the center of the gym. These were attached to cross wires by Byron Crawford and (Jlysses Aiken to make the prom’s centerpiece. Even underclassmen like Catherine Alexander and Shar- maine Williams help prepare for the prom. Together they painted a mural of the three wicked step- sisters and the wicked stepmoth- er. 34 Student Life IP umpkins A Magical Transformation arnages, pumpkins, flowing curtains and twin- kling lights set the mood for the 1988 Ju- nior-Senior Prom. The event was set for 8:00 p.m. until midnight. Appropriate theme correlated with this schedule. “Till the clock strikes Twelve” gave a fairy-tale aura to the setting of the gym. Increased student in- terest was confirmed by the volume ticket sales conducted by Mr. Arliss Jarvis in the stu- dent store. A greater number of students than last year helped in preparing the gym for the gala celebration. Volunteer students and members of the prom committee worked feverishly to complete the gym for the “big night.” Meta- phorically, the stu- dents dressed the gym, and assembled its fairy tale appearance as did the mice and birds in the Walt Disney Pro- duction Cinderella. Streamers, murals, balloons and columns adorned the gym. Mr. Jerry Gowdy’s stu- dents helped assemble the ramp and the draw- bridge that formed the entrance. Mrs. Julia Waddell’s students drew the shields that covered the walls of the gym as well as the murals of the fairy tale characters of Cinder- ella. Mrs. Laura Lynn Hughes contributed to the decor by reproduc- ing the Mt. Vernon win- dow style, producing the picturesque win- dows that added to the ambience. 3 3 0-v the junior class spent nearly $1300.00 to deco- rate the prom. Stapling streamers to the mir- rored ball that would be the prom’s centerpiece were Kathy Mizeil, Tawana Campbell, Karen Beebe, and Robin Castaneda. The Home Economics depart- ment supplied the refreshments, Sharon Ulmer, Rodney Williams, and Tammy Crosby work dili- gently to prepare the tasty finger sandwiches in time for the gala evening. _ Prom Prep 35 T hi v v ; : :: ' • ' '.::' e Slipper Fit B ibbidi Bobbidi Boo r he first three classes seemed to last forever as ju- niors and sen- iors turned their pians for the evening over and over in their minds. The list was never ending: tux, gown, corsage, clean out the car, go to the grocery store to buy food for the beach house, get hair fixed, get nails done, and don’t forget the invita- tions. For students who had these tasks, as well as others, to take care of before meeting their dates for the evening, a note from home was required to sign out of school. The list of errands to run may have been lengthy but not nearly so long as the sign-out line. The evening offered the mystique of meet- ing Prince Charming and dancing till mid- night, not to mention returning that bor- rowed luxury car be- fore it turned back into a ragged ole’ used car rather than a pumpkin. The shag contest was won by Jennifer Chipu- kites and her date Tim Benson. A drawing for prizes and other con- tests were held. Mrs. Anne Funder- burk commented, “The prom committee did an excellent job and I was very proud and pleased at how smoothly the occasion went.” The magic Cin- derella theme as well as the perrenial oppor- tunity to dress in the lavish, opulent clothes allowed the juniorsand seniors to be queens for a day and Prince Charming for a night. Volunteers from Mr. Jarvis’ classes sold prom tickets during both lunches. Over 550 tickets were sold for the event. Height doesn't make the dif- ference to Wesley “Buck- wheat” Jones as he sheds his shoes to “boogie” with Robyn Blakeman. Theshag contest brought sev- eral couples out to strut their stuff, but Jennifer Chipukites and Tim Benson, a recent gra- duate, shagged off with first place. 36 Prom Going along with the party mood, Da- vid Malphrus, Susan Nielsen, Helen Mitchell, Theresa Coaxum, and La- sonya Chisolm join in a dance train.

Students began day- dreaming of the beach only to be rousted from their visions by the im- pending thoughts of fi- nal exams and gradu- ation. The scent of liq- uid paper floated everywhere as stu- dents completed the dreaded term paper for another year. Spanish, history and American government projects became a thing of the past as typewriters were replaced with beach balls and lazy raft trips down the Edisto River, now, it was party time! During spring many organizations spon- sored concerts and awards banquets. The Band of Blue held its annual Awards Ban- quet on May 20. To en- tertain the crowd, the senior band members presented a slide pre- sentation, featuring the seniors’ baby pic- tures. The Athletic De- partment presented its annual Awards Ban- quet on May 21 and the chorus held its concert at the Hampton Street Auditorium. A first for this year was an Academic Awards Banquet spon- sored by the National honor Society. The banquet honored hon- or roll students, stu- dents with the highest average in their individ- ual classes, students with the highest cum- mulative average at each grade level, sen- ior honor society mem- bers, and the most valuable NHS member. The first academic awards banquet in recent history was held May 26 Barbecue chicken was on the menu.

Uti- lizing prom leftovers from two years ago, which included tinsel chandeliers and mardi gras masks, the fresh- man and sophomore classes created a mys- terious and magical aura with the theme Til Midnight.” Gentle- man, wearing their fin- est evening clothes, and ladies, adorned in their best and frilliest party dresses began promenading through the doors at eight o'clock ready to dance the night away. The Home Econom- ics department lent a hand by preparing re- freshments for the over two-hundred and fifty attendants. The disc Jockey kept the crowd thoroughly en- tertained by playing a variety of music in- cluding everything from “Push It” to George Michael. The infectious music over- came even the teach- ers as the DJ dared them to join in the fun and ‘‘cut the rug” to Chubby Checker’s ‘‘The Twist.” Fresh- man Angela Hiott elat- edly insisted that, “the music was great. It made my first Spring Dance very special.” Sophomore Class president Vincent Smalls accredited the success of the dance to the tireless work of the Spring Dance commit- tee. gg by Randy Beach Monica Linder The latest gossip was circulat- ed by Kenny Dentzler, Grace McMillian, Lee Miller, Jenni Kaye, and Mary Bass.

The weeked was filled with fun and entertain- ment, from a blazing fireworks display to the annual Rice Festi- val parade.

The faculty men gathered early on this dreadful morning for meditation and geritol; the senior team had practiced diligently the night before. The faculty team consisted of colorful professionals, such as the Killer B’s (Bowers, Bullock, and Burke), World B Felder, and Silky Smooth Sim- mons. The Senior Boys had to rely on the more down-to-earth tech- niques of Mike Hiott, Kenny Campbell, Wal- lace Guilford, Terry George, Ernest Smith, and Michael Geddis. Both sides boasted an extraordinary hid- den strategy when ac- tually, there was none. With the usual disorga- nization in the teams and more confusion than ever, the tipoff took place. The seniors took an early lead; however, it did not last. Soon the faculty tied the game and eventually went ahead. The seniors, not about to quit, began an impressive drive and came within one point of the tie. The faculty took the ball with un- der ten seconds left on the clock. Miraculous- ly, the seniors stole the ball and with only five seconds on the clock, called a time-out. Un- fortunately, the bell had rung, and students began pouring out of the gym. The faculty had won by one point. M Coach Witlie Felder applies Mr. Jerry Gowdy concentrates pressure to Richard Bodison as to sink this key outside shot. Richard looks for an open man. Student-Faculty Game 47 T he 1 Way It Is T he Way It Was w e I v e years is a M long time in anyone’s life. The 1988 senior class, tri- umphing over the ad- versity and controver- sy that seemed to shadow the entire year, lived through those long twelve years and proved correct the old phrase, “life is what you make of it.’’ The most admirable trait of the seniors was their ability to make much of their high school ex- perience. The things that didn’t seem fair, the rules that didn’t seem appropriate, and the decisions of a new and growing adminis- tration that just didn’t seem to jive all melted in the background when the culmination of over a decade of laughs, tears, triumphs and setbacks finally de- scended upon the an- ticipatory shoulders of the senior class. “Graduation prac- tice was an experience in itself,’’ commented Jennifer Smoak. “Where else could you find such a unique class?” The diversity and unique situation of the class of '88 was not only noticed by the stu- dents, but was also brought to the atten- tion of the rest of the community. The school board was ad- dressed frequently by students and parents alike. Matters of eligi- bility for Valedictorian- ship, the grading peri- od for honors gradu- ates, the request for additional points to be granted for AP courses, and the rel- evancy and practical- ity of the tardy system constituted only a few of the many problems. An estimated 6,000 people attended graduation, over- flowing the gym. On the final countdown of graduation practice, Billy Rog- ers, Debra Walker, Mark Rourk, Omar Tucker and Renee Rut- ledge march to the recessional. Rhonda Robinson, ecstatic at having graduated, finds herself unable to contain her excite- ment after her recent accom- plishment. After the hassle of graduation, Carla Thomas and her mother, Anne, share a laugh of relief in the gym to release pent-up stress. Lined up and ready to march, Peggy Bowman, Edith Bowman, Erica Booth and Robert Beverly anxiously await the commence- ment exercises. An excited Paul Thomas re- ceives some helpful comments from Mrs. George on graduation night.

Thankful that they are able to graduate, an elated Larry Pen- field and Brantley Padgett link arms with Mrs. Crawford in ap- preciation of her gradebook re- sults. T i be Way Is m T he Way It Was Progress was made in the attempts of the concerned students. “Benefits or no bene- fits,” asserted Char- lotte Hickman, “we still made our point. We are able to make our own decisions, even though that might shock some peo- ple to realize it.” The spunk and pa- nache of the seniors helped to personalize the year. It became the year of “making the most of a dull mo- ment,” as Davida Elliot emphasized. The only way to make a boring moment fun, it became evident, was to find something to do with friends. The class of 1988, in the immortal words of the Beatles, got “by with a little help from” friends. Tonya Lloyd’s vale- dictorian address rec- ognized the dream as- pired by Dr. Martin Lu- ther King. His dream is being realized post- mortem; the class of ’88 was admonished to strive to reach their various goals and dreams during life. In reading from Ec- clesiastes chapter three in the Bible, Ro- byn Blakeman empha- sized that “to every thing, there is a sea- son.” The season was ripe for the graduates to begin their suc- cesses in life. Shawna Davis' speech was marked with the haunting quote “Alas, time doesn’t go. No, my friend. TIME stays. We go.” And so ended the high school career of the class of 1988. To- morrow belongs to them. Cheers. Jj|j| by Katrina Avant This was the first year that a plat- form was used for graduation. The curtain behind the stage was made by the Home Econom- ics Department.

IN SEARCH OF “FUN”: CONTINUED The search for fun continued throughout the year. Although the in- vestigators worked doggedly, it be- came evident that they were always one step behind capturing fun. The investigation seemed to have come to a standstill, until a new lead was intro- duced. Mrs. Bodison decided that the students could provide some informa- tion on the whereabouts of fun. The squad readily agreed. They scanned the People section for the possible leads. By diligently listening to var- ious classroom discussions, they dis- covered that many students had seen fun while hanging out with their friends. “Fun is just making the most of a dull moment,” they heard Shawn Geddis say. The new lead caused much excit- ment at the investigation headquar- ters. 1 ' • 3 52 People “The Get Fresh Crew,” They call me Russ. -isachers really people too?

The best part of Senior life was the closeness and fun times that made the year an unforgettable one. Friendship was the key word as many Sen- iors realized that sharing special moments with friends was one way to make the year enjoyable. Living the senior life was hard for some seniors who refused to grow up. Accepting responsibility and playing the role of a sen- ior was tough. However, the special bond among friends relieved some of the Senior life pressures. As the year went by, Seniors realized that this year was definitely the beginning of the end.

Mrs. O’Briant taught Spanish II by requiring that a student speak in Spanish no matter what! As a result of taking tests, oral drills, and poems, students gained a better understanding of other countries and the language of the people. “It has been very interesting to learn about Spanish culture and famous Spainards like Don Quixote,” said Stacey Ray, a Spanish student. French student Madie Gallagher commented that “French is such a romantic language.” by Tonya Lloyd Serving nachos with her home- made sauce, first year Spanish student Charlotte Hickman pre- sents Mexico to Mrs. O’Briant’s fifth period class. 88 People Anthony Cockrum Ereka Coleman Glenda Collette Jamie Colson Erin Cone Anthony Constatine Gloria Cunningham Michael Cook Robert Cooper Brady Couch Vada Crawford Cathy Creel Mona Lisa Creel Krystal Crosby Lynn Crosby Michelle Crosby Pamela Crosby Tammy Crosby Thomas Crosby Kim A.

Michelle is also a key player in volleyball and basketball. Striving for Excellence Since seventh grade when she played soccer, Michelle Minton has been a very active athlete. This interest in sports continued through her high school career. Her athletic activity led to her suc- cess in winning the Pride, Hustle, and Desire Award for basketball and the Golden Glove All- Region Award for softball. Michelle played soft- ball, volleyball, and basketball. Last year, she also ran for the track team. Michelle’s favorite sport was basketball because she thought that it had a lot more action and I really play an impor- tant role on the team.” Michelle hopes to go to college on a scholar- ship for basketball. Her main choice of colleges is QNC because of its basketball program. Coach Kathy Layton added, “Michelle has a great amount of potential and a lot of ability for playing college sports.” V Sophomores Sherri Hiott Jimmy Hoagland Aiex Holmes Sherman Holmes Robbie Hooker Tina Hoover Seth Huckabee Latarcha Hudson Pleshette Huggins Dodi Hughes Jeff Hughes Cyndi Hulbert Paula Hunter Maria James Amy Jenkins Sharon Jenkins Tyrone Jenkins Dwayne Jerideau “Besties” and “Worsties” In a survey, sophomores revealed the “bes- ties” and “worsties” of the school. Spring break, the hour of 3:10 P.M., the few but excit- ing pep rallies, all dances, and the permission to wear shorts to school were chosen as the “besties.” On the other hand, the infamous homework, the hour of 8:10 A.M., the dreaded tardy system, and some teachers were listed as the “worsties” of the school. Even with these, most agreed that the “bes- ties” and the “worsties” added up to fun. by Christie Allen Angel Painter, Debbie Franklin, Vicki Kinard, and Angie Zelmer “boogie down” at the Spirit Week dance. 92 People Heath Jones Tisha Jones Deana Jordon Sandy Kelly John Kelly Barry Kinard Vicki Kinard Ginger Kinsey James Kirkland Mack Kirkland Thomas Ladson Lashonda Lawton Shantell Lewis Hope Lights Stefanie Linder Jamey Litchfield Johnnie Longnion Darrell Manegault Stacy Marchant Rhonda Maree Robert Marks Ella Martin Robbin Martin Roger Martin Kawan Mathews Tamika Mathews Chris Matt Wes Maxey Lisa McCall Debbie McCranie Ronnie McCullough Tracy McDonald Hope McGrady Craig McKelvey Scott Meegan Eddie Meetze Sophomores Kevin Miller Lee Miller Heather Miller Michelle Minton Elaine Mitchell Tracy Mitchell Scott Mixon Joey Moore Clifton Morrison Frank Murdaugh Keshia Murray Kim Nelson Wendell Nettles Keith Newton Derek Oliver Scott O’Quinn Roseanne Orbach Ann Padgett Sarah Padgett Angel Painter Patrick Paolantonio Anthony Pervison Mike Pierce Adela Pinckney Rachel Pinckney Sharon A.

Brain Games Walterboro High hosted the Odyssey of the Mind regional competition on March 12. Teams from Colleton, Barnwell, and Charleston Counties participated. The WHS team, K.A.O.S., coached by Mrs. Beverly Pournelle and Mrs. Joan O’Briant, was made up of Jill Dowdy, Dwayne Bucker, David Malphrus, Valorie Gaston, Audrey Breland, and Terance Williams. The team chose a topic in which they created and presented a musical theme based on a selection from several literary works. The group read George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple and prepared an oral summary of the play and a musical scene. The music and lyrics were written by the K.A.O.S. team. According to Mrs. O’Briant, “The relaxed setting of the practices allowed the creative juices to flow.” The team had no opposition at the regional level, so they went on to the state contest in Columbia on April 23.

Going for Gold Making it to the Top One of the main goals of any freshman was to fit into the high school scene. Freshman Jennifer Kaye had twice the pressure; she not only had to fit in, but she had to play the role of the rising gymnast. Jennifer got her start in gymnastics when her father, a coach, asked her to join the class; she has been at it ever since. In the beginning, she considered gymnastics only a part-time sport. She soon began devoting two to three hours a day to gymnastics class in Charleston. Jennifer also had to maintain a good average at school for her competitions, having to play “catch up” in her classes when she returned. “My teachers were always considerate, and my friends understood when I could not be with them on the week- ends,” she said. Jennifer’s hard work and determination has paid off because she has ranked first in the state for the past five years, second in the nation on the bars, and third on the vault. She has dreams of competing in the 1992 Olympics. After graduation she hopes to coach, like her father, or become a doctor. Jennifer adds, “It takes a lot of commitment and sacrifice, but if you’re really into something, it doesn’t seem to matter.” by Rachel Miller Valerie Caiaway John Campbell Leigh Campbell Tajuana Campbell Okeisha Carey Steve Carroll Constance Cattles Cleveland Chisolm Gregory Chisolm Gregory Chisolm James Chisolm Keith Chisolm Melissa Chisolm Beth Christian Kim Cochran Lecia Cochran Vanessa Colleton Anthony Collins Irene Constantine 100 People Leslie Cook Lynette Cook Lorraine Cooper Will Couick Melissa Craven April Creel Chris Crosby Suzie Crosby Tina Crosby Tonya Crosby James D.

Ibis year in South Carolina, several bus-related accidents ::: _ red which led to the deaths and serious injuries of children. unfortunate circumstances paved the way for a slew of r.Ti'. zns and open discussions concerning the competence of se =ral of the school bus drivers. Many young people, specifi- - high school students who were age seventeen, were given i great deal of criticism because of their apparent immaturity in rm—parison to the adult drivers. This spurred the passing of legislature that would diminish r- -mount of student drivers and as a result, had the South Lit na School Transportation System employing only adult r . ers with good driving records. Students with a blemish-free ring record were allowed to complete the remainder of the -rur 33 bus drivers, but next year, all student drivers are to be -— nated. Many felt that some student drivers were just as -responsible, aware, and able as many adult drivers. Others felt ii - cky Grant did, who stated: “Maybe it wasn’t negligence on re rart of the driver, but just the way God intended for that zmon to die.” by Michelle Connelly Marvina Megett “chats with a friend before performing her du- ties as a bus driver.

I didn’t put all that money in your mouth to rust!” was the reply as the door slammed. Such was a typical conversation for those who wore braces — not to mention the endless name-calling. “Hey, Brace-face, or Chainsaw jaw, etc.!” was a normal greeting from so-called friends. “After a while I got used to it and eventually it stopped after people got used to seeing me with all that metal in my mouth,” was the way one freshman felt about name-calling because of braces. Yet there were highlights for the students having those bright silver tracks. Their smiles would be more appealing not only to themselves but to others. If their orthondontist appointment was made early enough, they could kill a few hours at the mall instead of taking that dreaded Chemistry test. Then, of course, if they were trying to diet, tightening up the ole’ rubber bands cured any urge to chew food for the next three days. So it was not all that bad.

Teenagers had several ways of earning money, whether it • by part-time jobs or by allowances. McDonalds, Hardees, E _-ger King, and Pizza Hut ranked as the most common restau- -irts that hired 16- and 17-year-olds. Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo, Food __o . and HDD ranked as the most common grocery stores that Tired students. Billy MacCumbee commented, “1 like working tx Burger King because its an experience for the real world. Th ngs aren’t always perfect, but that’s life.” Allowances provided younger teenagers with money to Ei-rT d at the movies, skating rink, or for other entertainment at -re cost of doing household chores, errands, or yardwork. When i These chores were done, the teenager might receive $5.00, r_: if he was lucky, he might receive as much as $20.00. Angie E-rach said, “I do household chores and help my mom at the book store in order to get my allowance.” Even so, no matter how teenagers earned money, they soon recovered its value.

For the guys it was Polo, Obsession, Halston, Grey Flannel, and Pierre Cardin that ranked in the top favorite colognes. Some of the girls’ favorite fragrances included Paris, Liz Claiborne, Georgio, Poison, and Chanel 5. Fragrances were just as much a part of one's wardrobe as a pair of shoes. While some made wearing colognes or perfumes a daily habit, others reserved wearing a fragrance for special occasions. The question always remained whether one would wear a fragrance to “catch girls” or to “catch guys.” But Trevia Burgess answered that question when she stressed that she wore cologne “because it makes me feel better about myself.” Perhaps that is the true reason males and females wear fra- grances — it gives self-assurance and more self-confidence. by Katrena Colson Seaborn Rogers Benji Ross Tara Roy Anthony Russell Holly Ryan Nicole Sammons Henry Sanders Kevin Sanders Jimmy Satterfield Wendy Schellenger Frank Schlude Patti Scites Tommy Shaw Roger Shepard Sandy Shider Charles Short Vicky Simanovsky Troy Simmons 108 People Stephanie Sims Kenneth Singleton Alton Smalls Lashawn Smalls Kim Smith Scott Smoak Duane Stanfield Amanda Stanley Pamela Strickland Carmena Strong Chris Theriot Charles Thomas Katrina Thomas Lisa Thomas Tammie Thomas Amy Tinker Danny Tomlinson Irene Tracy Mary Lynn Van Dyke Patricia Van Dyke Sharlotte Van Hulst Angela Denise Varner James Walker Scott Walls Angela Washington Bernard Washington Dileatha Washington Katina Washington Kevin Washington Shawn Weans Paul Weidenbach Lorie Westbury Joann Westergard Latonia White Quincy White Steven White Terry White Angel Williams Elijah Williams Greta Williams John Lee Williams LaMonica Williams Freshmen Mike Williams Priscilla Williams Vincent Williams Ernest Wilson, Jr. Robert Wilson Anthony Womble Deanna Woods Angela Wrice Daniel Wright Kwami Wright Tammy Wright Tia Wright Karen Evans and Valerie Calloway anticipate the Friday dance as they purchase a ticket from Yalanda Pinckney.

Talking the Day Away Boredom, anxiety, and just plain laziness were often the cul- prits of blatant telephone overuse. Many teenagers insisted on monoplizing the telephone for hours on end as they found relief in conversation from a tiresome and tedious afternoon’s activi- ties. They talked for hours on end without regard for other household members who might desperately need to place calls of utmost urgency. But then, there were those lucky individuals who had their own phones and telephone lines, and then the very select few who had the occasional Mickey Mouse, Garfield, or Bugs Bunny phones. But, regardless of the ways or means, there needed never be a reason when there was an available phone in the room. This was the case for many teenagers who rambled on about what to wear to which occasion, the latest styles and fashions, what dates they had planned for the weekend and which nerds had been recently gaining brownie points with the teachers. Many girls found it necessary to spend unlimited time discussing overwrought and exaggerated points of all the cute guys, while many guys took the very same pleasure in pretentious, over- blown discussions of the girls who had fallen prey to their latest “love conquests.” The verdict was, whether girl or boy, that teens found the telephone an adequate and pleasurable outlet to get to know their freinds better, let off steam, or gab the afternoon away! by Michelle Connelly Daphne Blocker takes time out of her busy schedule to make an important phone call.

Coach Gyles Hall had been a constant fixture in the classroom and on the football field. In April, Coach Hall decided to resign and take a similar job at Lexington High School. The “Age of Gyles” had come to a close. Lexington would provide an excellent opportunity for Coach Hall. The pressures of the detailed job would be lessened by the community-wide support of the ath- letic program and the unlimited resources available. Instead of being maintenence man and the head coach, he would have a full-time maintenence crew so that he could devote his time to his job. Though the varsity football team did not always come out on top, the team experienced success in other ways, Coach Hall molded the team into family. During football season it was not unlikely to see the team members constantly together. They looked up to Coach Hall as a friend. He was not a push-over; he elicited their respect. In a few years, someone might think, “Remember when the Bulldogs were Lower State Champs? And when the Summerville game was oh-so-close? Who was the coach behind them? Oh, 1 remember — it was Gyles Hall, I wonder what he is doing now ...” by Robyn Blakeman When not busy coaching, coach Hall busies himself in the Guidance Area with the volume of paperwork involved with teaching a class.

Faculty 113 Wardens of Work Cleaning the Dawg Ha us Imagine walking into the school and noticing that the floor had not been polished; or walking up stairs that had not been mopped; or sitting at a table that had not been cleared of lunch trays and trash. What is wrong with this picture? The janitors are missing. The janitors were the most overlooked, overworked and unappreciated of the staff. It was taken for granted that these cart-pedaling custodians would perform their jobs efficiently and unob- trusively. Yet the janitors were the last people, excluding the principal, to leave the premises of the school, often not until after 8:00. Why then should they have been any less respected? Without personnel to clean and maintain school property, it would have been in sad shape. Not only did they perform cleaning and repair jobs, they also were in charge of students assigned to work detail. They doled out jobs to occupy these students, while resuming their regular schedule. Many of these stewards had other responsibilities be- sides working at the school. After leaving the school, Willie James Jennings traveled to the hospital to buff floors on a night cleaning shift. John Brown enjoyed “the chance to get to know these students and teachers on a daily basis.” Thomasenna Middleton appreciated the opportunity to “keep up with what is going on. being a mother, I naturally like to be involved.

Instead of ruling with an iron fist, Mr. 'ence instead chose a more personal ap- proach by getting to know the students and establishing rappart.. He made him- seif available, walking the halls and min- g :ng with the masses, instead of remain- mg behind his desk. ' r. Pence also helped establish many activities to reward students for their -ark. He passed out tickets to students i ho dumped their lunch trays, then later ‘rid a drawing and a dance that required nose tickets for admission. “I want,” he '•ated, ‘‘to see all of the students come ■to my office,not just the ones who have committed infractions.” Bumper stickers were awarded to stu- dents who participated in music and sports. Good citizenship and perfect at- tendance were also recognized. Burger King and McDonald’s were sponsors of the project. Even the faculty was shown apprecia- tion. Teachers attaining perfect atten- dance recognition were granted a com- plimentary meal. Ms. Crawfrod put forth an extra effort to attend school, and at the end each nine-week period, she re- ceived a free meal at Southland Restau- rant. “I enjoyed the hour away from school,” she remarked, “and the meal was really nice.” Mrs. Moody, who graced the halls with her vivacious personality, realized that school is an important job. “But,” she began, “I hope that the students can also understand that school is also fun and exciting. I hope that they can see that in me and in their school, because everything we do is for them.” by Katrina Avant After being crowned prom queen, Genette Fields re- ceives a congratulatory hug from Assistant Principal Steve Carter.

Administration 118 Academics Started In ... IN SEARCH OF “FUN”: CONTINUED It did not seem to the investigators that fun would be found in Academ- ics. Yet the main office was inundated with reports from frantic teachers that fun was running rampant throught the school. Mrs. Moody was notified that the Advanced English classess were to participate in a school-sponsored trip to Charleston to see the play To Kill a Mocking- bird. She followed a wild hunch and discovered that fun had indeed hitched a ride. Social studies clases began in- depth research of world history to find out if such an investigation had been recorded in the dusty annals of time. The p.e. teachers began to train their students to find fun. All teachers were urged to participate in the school-wide search for this elusive character. The investigators were finally about to define fun. Or were they? An Actor’s Life for ME! The Origin of Species. Dramatizing the action of the short story, “The Cemetery Plot,” to her fourth period English class, Ms. Crawford plays part of a man who is spending the night on a dare in a -Z’ave yard.

Mcadmics This is Where the Fun Starts 119 The Easy Was it just an easy way out, or was it merely precau- tions of the conscientious student? The first week of school, tables were covered with Cliffs Notes as students crammed those last few min- utes before tests on summer reading books. Though there were those who tried to slide by without reading the book, the major- ity of the students stressed that Cliffs Notes were only used as a quick refresher on books they had read several weeks earlier. As Tammy Beach stated, “I just wanted to make sure I got all the de- tails 1 could have missed when 1 read the book.” Shannan Cone admitted that because time ran out, she had to turn to Cliffs Notes in order to catch up on the ending of the plot. Of course, there were those who tried to get by without reading the book, and yes, the teachers could tell. After grading the test pa- pers, Ms. Crawford warned that “Cliffs Notes are to be used as a supplementary aid. They are not effective weap- ons against procrastination. Use with caution!” On the other hand, Mrs. Blocker felt that Cliff’s Notes were no easy way out simply be- cause the tests were written in such a fashion that Cliff’s Notes alone would not bring a passing grade. Cliffs Notes were ob- tained from book stores, at- tic boxes, and friends who had finished or used the book earlier. They could be found for most books and in- cluded a synopsis of the nov- el and a critique of the char- acters. Although detailed in- formation was not provided, the central theme of the nov- el was outlined. Whether used as a quick crash course or a mild re- fresher, Cliffs Notes remain the ever-popular first choice for the easy way out. by Katrena Colson Who IS David Copperfield?

Lucky for him. 122 Academics Just for Fun When the average student was asked what he thought of school, he said it was bor- ing or he hated it. Maybe this was why students fell asleep in class, pulled practical jokes, and tried to come up with funny excuses. These were their ways of livening up a humdrum day. Some teenagers often used classes as a time to catch up on their sleep. Many found a class boring and had trouble staying awake. As Denise Holmes, a junior, expressed, “I fall asleep if I’m in a class that's not one of my favorites.” Some teachers realized though that tired teenagers often were awake late the night before, working or competing in an athletic event. Almost everyone could think of a class clown who pulled practical jokes on teachers and friends. All was in fun, but teachers did not like it when a prank dis- turbed the class. As April Mixon, a freshman, said, “One time 1 brought a whoo- pie cushion and put it in somebody’s seat. When the guy sat down, the whole class cracked up. Then, the teacher made me write.” Wisecracks and practical jokers did add excitement to the day. Every student had used some kind of excuse wheth- er it was the old standby “my dog ate my homework” or another explanation. Karen Beebe, a junior, explained that her most common ex- cuses were “a death in the family, revival services, eigh- teen-hour virus, and my cal- endar was marked for the wrong day.” Teachers have heard the same excuses over and over. Sometimes, how- ever, a student came up with an unusual excuse. One of junior Billy Stanfield’s most complicated excuses for be- ing late was, “There was a lot of traffic in the hall, and then there was a fight and somebody knocked my books down and I had to go by my locker.” by Chrissy Greene It’s Here Somewhere ... Danish exchange student Kent Holm digs deep into his pocket for his English homework he has neatly tucked away. Do Not Disturb! After a draining economics test, Charles Allen catches some zzz's. Sometimes Charles fell asleep in class when he had worked late the night before. Pranks, excuses, sleeping in class Stretched lazily over a bed or on the floor with a book propped between the knees were just two of the ways students found to relax and concentrate on a load of homework. This was true for Senior Sandra Reed who found time in her busy schedule to study. “1 like to listen to music while I study, she said, but low enough to concentrate on English for the ever-demand- ing Ms. Crawford. Band students or athletes had demanding schedules that often left no time for studying. Junior Scott Gi- vens knew the feeling. Sometimes when 1 came home from practice, I would be so tired that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open, but then I'd remember that big test we’re having, grab a Coke from the ’fridge’ and hit the books.” After-school jobs always took away from study time. Most students with after- school jobs took study halls or went to the library to fin- ish homework. Junior Shan- non Murdaugh, an employee of Texa-Mart, spent his time studying between breaks at work. It’s hard maintaining a B average at school when 1 work to have extra things like a car or spending mon- ey, he declared. Students with social lives realized that maintaining their grade average was as important as going out and being with friends. If they did not make good grades, their parents often limited their freedom with curfews and a demand for better school- work. Many students survived endless nights of studying and concentration. They worked to achieve the grades that reflected the con- fidence and pride that a good student hoped to gain. by Rachel A. Miller ASSENT AJW0S Tips From the Pros!

Taking advantage of his study hall, Marc Bright, a senior, reviews his notes in preparation for exam week. Although many students wait until the night before exams to study, some students with study halls uses that time wisely. Studied Out! Surrounded by her grammar and lit- erature notes, Jessika von Platen, a senior exchange student, takes a much-needed break from cramming for her English exam. The 7-up in front of Jessika is an essential part of the official Exam Survival Kit. What came twice a year and was dreaded by every student? The infamous ex- ams. Although studying for and taking exams was tough, students found many ways to lighten up the load. As senior Yalanda Pinckney stated, “The first thing 1 did after I got home was to get a snack. Then I’d take a nap and wake up about 7 o’clock ready to cram.” Most teenagers obeyed the unwritten law that stu- dents never start studying for exams until the night be- fore the test. Sandra Boozer, a junior, explained, “I stud- ied the night before the exam so the information would be fresh in my mind.” Cram- ming was a way of life during exam weeks. Junior Penny Spell described her game plan for exam week, “When I got home from school, I’d change into sweatpants and a T-shirt. Then, I’d get a snack and go in my room with my books spread out all around me and start cram- ming!” Many students had “exam survival kits” which includ- ed snacks, aspirin for head- aches, eye drops for sore eyes, coffee or some other caffeine-containing sub- stance to keep from falling asleep, and comfortable clothes. After cramming in all the information possible and staying up into the wee hours of the morning, stu- dents went to school to take their exams, hoping that all of their studying would pay off. By Chrissy Greene Exams Among the pressures in the life of an upperclassman is a career choice and the awesome decision of which educational institution to at- tend, following high school. Students from Walterboro High, Ruffin High, and John C. Calhoun Academy gath- ered in the gymnasium Octo- ber 2, to experience a true educational opportunity. Re- presentatives from 36 col- leges, universities, and mili- tary academies arrived early to assume their positions as the students flooded the gym. The representatives em- ployed every available meth- od of attracting students. Brochures and pamphlets were available to any inter- ested students, and some spokesmen even offered gifts to lure the masses. One Army recruiter gave out the ever-popular poster of an ominous Gncle Sam de- manding “I want you! This hysteria continued for an hour until the bell tolled, sig- nalling the beginning of sec- ond period. Most students thought Ed-Op Day to be quite helpful, but senior Marc Bright stated, “The whole concept simply con- fused me more.” Military recruiters occa- sionally reappeared at WHS to discuss plans for the fu- ture with students. Among those recruited for the Unit- ed Staes Marine Corps was Byron Crawford. When asked about his reasons for entering the Corps, Byron re- plied, “This is one of the best decisions I’ve made concern- ing my career. Byron planned to become a high- way patrolman after leaving the service and felt that the self- discipline necessary in the Marine Corps would make him a successful pa- trolman. by Tim Smoak I Thought You’d Never Ask!

Many students overcame these high school stumbling blocks and looked back at them as the funnier mo- ments of their high school career. Computer science and math classes intrigued the mind of any student who was willing to put forth a little ef- fort. Computer science was not just for the computer “whiz.” According to Senior Rhonda Robinson, “comput- ers are the future. One will need computer skills to suc- ceed in the job market.” On the other hand, any student who broke out in cold sweat, had a squeaky voice and severe memory loss, was diagnosed with the common high school ailment known as “testaphobia,” the recurring fear of taking math tests. sometime gone through this same dreadful illness. Math class, known for its long, te- dious lessons, confusing theorems and four-page homework assignments, was on everyone’s “hit list.” Eventually, students saw the “light” and hoped that any late-night cramming paid off with a passing grade. “When they said math has no boundaries,” quipped Senior Seletha Seabrook, “they really said it!” by Rachel Miller Waiting to begin.

Some people say that ex- tra-curricular courses are un- necessary and contribute nothing to the curriculum. However, members of the chorus and chorus teachers Mrs. Stephanie Drawdy had different opinions. Ms. Drawdy was in a posi- tion to see students excel through music. Mrs. Drawdy recognized a special talent in the seniors and encouraged all those with that talent to develop their potential to its optimum. The seniors displayed a great ability to perform well, although there were times when “fun” came first. Mrs. Drawdy seemed amazed at how well they could “pull it off” when just the day before a performance, the show would not be together at all. Although the seniors were extremely energetic and talk- ative, the ninth grades were noted for their quick ability to learn. Mrs. Dawdy also no- ticed that those who repeat- edly caused trouble seemed to settle down in chorus class. Along with endless hours of practice came a feeling of family unity. Because the chorus was so involved with community activities and special performances at school, there was plenty of time to build strong friend- ships. Performance includ- ed a Christmas concert, a performance for chorus stu- dents at the middle school, the Spring Concert, a Consti- tution Commemoration Ceremony, several assem- blies, the Rice Festival, and a spaghetti supper for the par- ents.

The band remains a huddled mass in the background. “Hey, Baby!” The brass section displays the re- creational side of band life at a pep rally. The band was the basis of pep rally excitement with its versions of “Rockin’ Robin and Hey Baby.” School began early for over 160 band members on the morning of August 3, 1987. Marching feet pound- ed hot pavement each day in temperatures up to 104 de- grees, but rehearsals led to an amazing show. The first performance for the Band was to have been in St. An- drews. However, torrential rains washed this off the agenda. At the debut one week later, the show im- pressed the audience, but not the directors. As a result came more practice, and practice made perfect. As a grand finale to the Walterboro Band Classic, the “smurfy” mass invaded the from the judges, and more meaningful, a standing ova- tion from a delighted audi- ence. Results were similar at Camden, with superior rat- ings and third place overall. Greater satisfaction came in beating out-of-state bands in a first place sweep at a con- test in Clover. Earning sec- ond place at Lower State contest in Wando opened a spot in State Contest. The Booster Club brought every poster, banner, and band supporter to Columbia Halloween night. With a song in each heart, and a plume in each hat, a blue wave en- gulfed the field for the final show of the marching sea- re- mained united in the corner of the bleachers for the awards ceremony. All last minute prayers were said as only second and first place awards were left, but destiny beat determination as sec- ond place was awarded to the Band of Blue, and Lexing- ton High School Band took top honors. In spite of the loss, the Band earned the support of the community and contin- ued a tradition of fine bands from WHS. Four-year veter- an Greg Maggi stated, “You can’t beat the loyalty of these people. They stick through thick and thin.” By Tim Smoak Deep in the heart of WHS worked a staff of dedicated individuals who constantly remained true to their school. This handful of care- fully selected workers were the members of the Paw- Print Staff. Often overlooked by fame, their only goal was perfection, and every day brought on a new attempt at this standard. Along with the production of the yearbook came the re- sponsibility of producing a newspaper and a radio show, and new to the journalism staff—a video department. Composed of thirteen sen- iors and a dozen underclass- men, each member was to Printing play a number of roles on the staff. It was the most com- plex staff ever, but it worked, and it worked hard. From the time they ar- rived at school each morn- ing, many staffers ham- mered away at the monu- mental task before them. Gradually things began to come together over time, but the job never got smaller. Perfection was the key, and if it wasn’t right, it was re- done until it was. Being a yearbook staff member had its privileges. Once a deadline was met, there was plenty of time to talk, laugh, and roam around aimlessly. The burden wasn’t so bad as long as friends were around to help with every stumbling block. As Community Editor Ro- byn Blakeman stated, “The increased attitude of unity among the staff members helped create a more suc- cessful yearbook, radio pro- gram, and newspaper.” In the end, the staff would turn out a yearlong project, shaped by the minds of the creative staffers, forever to remind the WHS student body of the times which have so often been termed “the best days of one’s life.” By Tim Smoak “This is Where WHAT Starts?” Junior staff members Monica Linder, Christie Allen, Rachel Miller and Chrissie Greene toil with the mind-boggling bureaurcracy of mak- ing a yearbook under the supervi- sion of Advisor Marilyn Zielke. Hours of thought produced tons of “You Oughtta’ be in pic- tures!” Staffers Garnette Mosley and Moni- ca Linder work together in selecting the best pictures for the Student Life section. “Put this here” Sports Editor Leah Bell shows Aca- demics Editor Chrissy Greene the similarity of ordering pictures and filling out tax forms. “Twenty Bucks Enough?” A young man bargains with co-edi- tor Randy Beach over the price of a cake.

Mrs. Rowe feels that Child Development is necessary because so many par- ents have children and are unpre- pared. Shared Responsibility. Even football player Eric Stephens realizes that tending children is not only a female’s responsibility. Academics During the month of No- vember, the birth rate in- creased tremendously be- cause of four child develop- ment classes. As a shock for both the staff and students, baby eggs were an exper- ience that added fun to the year. Approximately 120 stu- dents participated in four days of mock parenting. From sun up ’til sun down, through school and football practice, students carried one, two, or three grade A, large eggs which were sym- bolic of the single child, twins, or triplets they may one day have. Their respon- sibility was to nurture this egg as if it were a real live baby. Mrs. Jane Rowe, a child development teacher, initiat- ed a project which was de- signed to make students more aware of the great re- sponsibility both males and females assume by having children. Obviously a suc- cess, Mrs. Rowe analyzed the project by stating “I think they enjoyed it and learned something from it, which was my main pur- pose.” Requirements included completing a birth certifi- cate, naming the egg, keep- ing a daily diary accounting for every hour, and paying $.25 an hour when a babysit- ter was needed. The egg, like a helpless infant, was not al- lowed to be unattended un- der any circumstances. Through the course of the four days, several accidents occurred resulting in trau- matic fatalities. Abandoned baby eggs were discovered shattered in Mrs. Bodison’s office or in the floors of the halls. While some students made cradles for their “ba- bies,” others, such as Allen Fletcher, carried theirs in pockets to be crushed. How- ever, minor injuries were healed with cartoon band- aids across small cracks. Sherry Cole stated, “Even after the project was over, I kept mine on my dresser for a long time before I got rid of it.” by Katrena Colson Just A Dab!

Every once in a while a drab, boring day needed some kind of ex- citement. Obviously, the teachers agreed. Projects and presentations were as- signed to create enthusiasm in the classroom. Through original presen- tations, the students drama- tized favorite plays or scenes from plays in their English class, and produced projects pertaining to their science class. This way, students ex- perienced in-depth under- standing of their chosen top- ic while at the same time, the teachers were able to evalu- ate the effectiveness of their teaching. Mrs. Finney-EI evaluated her students’ pro- jects and felt that “students work much better when they are genuinely interested in the assigned work. It also helps to create mild competi- tion between the classes.” Most English classes con- sisted of presentations cre- ated by the students. Mem- ory work was the choice of some, while others used their creativity to perform scenes of their favorite story. Yolanda Pinckney and San- dra Reed performed a comi- cal dramatization of Pride and Prejudice which enter- tained the students—a posi- tive learning device from the projects. The students were not the only ones to perform presen- tations. Teachers and spe- cial guests demonstrated their talent in performances in the mini-auditorium.

A 142 Academics Getting involved in extra- curricular activities gave stu- dents a break from the drudgery of school. A popu- lar school-wide activity was clubs. Students discovered their own special interests and talents, and, when given the chance, recognized the advantage of being in an or- ganization where they could participate, run for office and compete in district com- petitions. Clubs gave stu- dents the opportunity to ex- cel in areas which interested them. Even though clubs got off to a late start in January, many proceded with sched- uled activities. One of the largest clubs that sparked Scene student interest was Just Say No. In its first year, there were over two hundred mem- bers that formed this anti- drug and alcohol prevention group. At regular meetings, skits on drugs and alcohol abuse made students aware of the mental and physical effects of drugs. Sophomore Sharon Ulmer commented, “Being involved in a club like Just Say No is benefical in today’s society.’’ In its second year, the Modeling Club had an over- whelming number of partici- pants. Although the club was unable to have a fashion show due to the late start of clubs, the club sponsored a photography session with the Easter Bunny in April. Under the direction of Advi- sor Mrs. Patricia Duggins, modeling students learned poise, charm, and fashion “know-how”. “All the exper- iences and fun of being in the Modeling Club make a better you,” said junior Nicole Gil- more. 4It’s like being a model on TV.” The Future Teachers of America Club was one of the clubs that provided students with the chance to explore future careers.

Junior Arnie Farmer added humorously, “It was a nice diversion from school.” The Odyssey of the Mind, a problem-solving group, met for the first time as a club. Mrs. Beverly Pournelle and Mrs. Joan O’Briant were the sponsors of the team that competed in district and state competitions. The Fel- lowship of Christian Ath- letes, sponsored by Coach Robert Driggers, sold key chains and refreshments dur- ing exams. The money made from these sales was donat- ed to a local charity.

College Life Imagine reading ten chap- ters of history for a test or writing essays almost every day for English class. These are things students in AP (Advanced Placement) classes did. These classes in- volved hard work, but they provided a chance for stu- dents to earn college credit for English and (IS. History. All seriousness aside, AP classes could be fun. Kelli Stallings, a senior in AP English, expressed, “Be- cause of the closeness of the students in my class, we were like a big family.” One advantage of taking an AP class was that the classes were smaller than most oth- ers. According to Johnny Double Time! As part of an AP English project, Pete Lommen teaches the class about The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Each student in the class is required to teach a novel with emphasis on symbolism, style, and other literary devices. AP—Artistic Person!

Bell, a junior in AP G.S. Histo- ry, “In a small class the teacher and the students could relate better, and there was a relaxed atmosphere.” AP classes also differed from other classes in the ap- proach to the work. “We didn’t have any little quizzes; we just had several major tests,” explained junior Lisa Hiott, an AP G.S. History stu- dent. Another advantage was the preparation students got for college classes. Junior Michael Portereiko, who took AP G.S. History, stated, “I think this class will pre- pare me for independent work.” AP students learned to balance their time wisely. “I definitely had to budget my time. I made it through AP English and G.S. History by the skin of my teeth and sometimes not even that,” recalled Pete Lommen, who took both AP classes as a ju- nior. The AP students’ exper- iences culminated in the AP exams in May. Students scoring a three, four, or five were given college credit. Most AP students agreed that the fun-filled times and the experience gained from their AP classes made all the hard work worthwhile. By Chrissy Greene Academics Tube Talk Before class junior AP CI.S.

Term papers! It was what most students dreaded — selecting at random those unthinkable topics. Some students’ topics ranged from explaining the psychological context of Ed- gar Allen Poe’s works to dis- cussing the Brahmins. Those that were lucky escaped with doing an autobiography of an author’s life. Even the most conscientious students found themselves counting the days until the deadline date or praying that they had enough sources. Students often found ex- cuses for selecting another topic. Mrs. Lavern Crawford, 12th grade English teacher, commented that the most common excuse was “I’m an American. Why do I have to know about English writ- ers?” Many students found most of their sources located in the school library, and some had to spend one or two hours after school in the county library, gathering in- formation. Amid all this work, the “trusty” librarians came to the rescue, provid- ing reference books and help- ful tips to make research much easier. “Even though I had enough note cards to make a book of my own,” said Junior Lome Doctor, “Mrs. Godwin was there to assist in limiting my sources.” After hours of agony and painstaking details, the final copy was turned in, and many students could finally breath a sigh of relief.

President Wallace Guillford expressed his goals for NHS. “In years past the leadership of NHS didn't emerge, so I decided to get more people involved instead of just get- ting them out of class.” NHS began planning ac- tivities and fundraisers early in the year. As Tim Smoak, vice-president of NHS, stat- ed, “We wanted to find some way to raise money and still give people the opportunity to have a good time.” The annual NHS Thanksgiving Food Drive, involving the en- tire community, provided food for the first NHS hayr- ide in November.

This was the third year in a row the team took top hon- ors in the lower-state competition. For hours on end, a small elite 12-member team prac- ticed its craft with brain- straining determination and a gutsy, heart-wrenching drive to be the best. This team practiced religiously every Tuesday and Thurs- day throughout the entire school year to build what would become the 1988 Aca- demic team.

In September, over 300 students were tested for the team and 12 members were selected from the 12 highest scores. The team lost its first competition, the Winthrop Challenge of play, but bounced back to place high in the Knowledge Master Open, a national competition played on the Apple II Com- puter. They earned 1169 points. The team played the contest again in April, with differnet questions scoring 1203 points. February wasn’t the cruel- est month for the A-Team as it placed fifth in its first at- tempt at the Coker College Academic Decathelon. This contest involved answering written questions on the to- pics of History, Language and Science, delivering a pre- pared speech and writing a spontaneous essay on “Spaceship Earth.” Also in February, the team placed first, for the fourth counse- cutive year in the annual Sal- kehatchie High School Aca- demic Bowl Competition.

IN SEARCH OF “FUN”: CONTINUED The thought of hours spent on te- dious practices on the sun-baked lawn of the stadium or in the sweaty atmosphere of the weight room amid straining muscles and groans of pain did not seem like a typical place for fun to erupt. Yet Coach Carter was adamant. “They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t want to. I think it needs to be investigated.” The four administrators split up to maximize their time. Barnhill and Carter set out for the football stadi- um. while Moody and Bodison trekked to the softball field to ques- tion the girls’ softball team. The re- sults were vague. The athletes could not define fun as a tangible thing. “It’s a feeling you get,” quoted Jim Hern- don, “when you do something you like.'’ The investigators continued to be baffled by fun.

Although the team was more in- tense during this game than any other, the bulldogs lost 35-14. Winning was sought after zealously by all athletic teams, but the coaches never lost sight of the importance of keeping fun in sports.

J 156 Sports Eric Stephens stifles his op- ponents with his zig-zag run- ning abilities. This natural ability allowed him to rack up 24 points for the season. The Key to Success While Kent Holm had an in- jured knee, he helped Perry Smalls as a water boy. Both were dedicated members of the team and contributed in their own ways. Tremendous blocks allow Johnny Evans to weave his way through the line of scrimmage. Because of blocks like these in other games, the tailbacks and run- ningbacks had very high yardage averages. Although the record did not show it, the ’88 Bulldogs were a hard- working and determined team. Winning two of the first three games, the Dogs fell into a rut out of which they could not pull themselves. Inexperience was the major setback. Coach Hall commented, “We have more tenth graders on our team than we have ever had.” When young players were put into “skill positions,” they had to perform con- sistently to their full po- tential throughout each game. This resulted in heartbreaking losses by just a few points. Injuries plagued the team. Center Mike Hiott and linebacker- offensive tackle Miguel Koger suf- fered knee problems, while tailback Ernest Smith suffered ankle problems. Nevertheless, all of these players were healthy enough to con- tribute heavily to the team’s wins. Lack of lead- ership added to the team’s weaknesses, main- ly because there were so few seniors compared to the number of underclass- men. Coach Hall expected this year to be a “building year,” but was disappoint- ed in the team’s slow pro- gression. This slow pro- gression was evident in the on-going performance of the athletes in the games of the season. Joey Robertson added, ”lt was a long, frustrating, never-ending season, but we all stuck together. In the end, it all taught us to be somewhat coachable.” by Seth Huckabee “I considered this year to be a building year. We had to play more tenth graders in the games this season than in the past years.” —Coach Gyles Hall “I had expected us to do better than we did. Never- theless, we gave it our best, but our best wasn’t good enough.” — Coach Raymond Burke Varsity Football 157 r XPERIENC Their futile attempts to put more than 7 points on the board discouraged both Eric Stephens and Ernest Smith.

Every Senior’s Goal The Bulldogs played their best in the second half of the game against Summerville. Losing the game 35-14, they fought a hard battle against “a tre- mendous football team,” said Coach Hall. Never- theless, the team’s record did not reflect the Bull- dog’s true talent. Coach Hall added, ”1 never talk about winning or losing to my athletes. I only talk about being successful.” One successful player, Billy Ray Herndon, was considered by Coach Hall to be probably the most talented on the team. He received an All-Confer- ence honorable mention as quarterback. Mike Hiott was certainly an- other talented player on the team. Along with be- ing selected for the North- South game, he made sec- ond-team All-Conference as an offensive lineman. He also received honor- able mention All-Confer- ence for punting. Senior Larry Penfield received honorable mention in both All- Conference and Southern Region as a de- fensive back. Larry had a rather optimistic point of view about his football ex- perience. “Football will teach a person later in life not to give up when he is down. Because no matter what the score is, if a per- son tries a little harder, something good will hap- pen.” by Seth Huckabee Using his soccer kicking skills, Danish rookie Kent Holm demonstrates perfect form. 158 Sports Eric Stephens turns this handoff into long yardage against the Goose Creek Gators. In this game he averaged an unmatched 16 yards per carry. Eric is the brother of Clemson starter Tony Stephens. The question is, who gets the knee brace next? Ran- dy Mills and Mike Hiott both had injured knees during part of the season. By mid-season, the whole team was psyched up enough to win the game against Stratford. Excite- ment is what Coach Hall said the team iacked in most games. Varsity Football 159 s HI INI IM IG SH Rl 11 r Cheerleaders Prove Athletic Abilities All too often, cheer- leading is overlooked in the world of sports. It has been considered a “lax” sport;—one which re- quires little or no training. Yet cheerleading is in fact a demanding activity which entails practice and skill. In addition to per- forming these skills, cheerleaders must also exhibit great spirit. When the football team lost six games in a row, there was little inspiration to cheer. But the varsity squad nev- er let the depression af- fect its spirit. Captain Sandra Reed expressed, “The varsity cheerleaders have worked very hard to achieve their goals. De- spite moments when there was a lack of partici- pation from the crowd, we still try to keep the spirit going for our team!” One of the major goals for the squad was greater crowd participation. The band had provided most of the enthusiasm in the past years. Surprisingly, more involvment oc- curred than was expect- ed. Not only was the Band of Blue supportive, but the crowd helped at times, too. A special highlight for the cheerleaders was their trip to Myrtle Beach to cheer. Because football Coach Gyles Hall was in- vited to coach for the North-South All-Star Game, and Mike Hiott was selected to play, the squad was invited for sup- port. Concern was ex- pressed because almost half of the girls were sen- iors. CIpon thinking of the upcoming year, which seemed to entail devotion and hard work, Varsity Sponsor Sylvia Gale ex- pressed, “I look at next year with a lot of reserva- tion because I am losing so many people.

Sandra Reed, captain of the squad, leads the school in a chant called “Go Bulldogs!” Rhonda Robinson originated this chant especially for the squad. “Cheerleading has been one of the most rewarding activities of my high school years,”—Co-cap- tain Katrena Colson “I’ve been coaching for 15 years . . . and when I see the potential, it encour- ages me.”—Sponsor Syl- via Gale Cheerleading Defensive Players Kenneth Rivers, 44; Doug Garris, 78; and Thomas Pickney, 52; led the tough defense which gave up only an average of 9 pts. per game and three shut- outs during the season. Experienced . . . No! Winner . . . Yes! With only a few veter- ans returning for a big sea- son, the young, inexperi- enced Bullpups lost the opening game of the sea- son against North Charleston 14-0, after turning over two returned fumbles for touchdowns. After being handed their second consescutive loss against Wando 13-7, the Pups’ desire for a win came into play against Berkeley Stags. With proper pass protection provided by the offensive line, Gianni Garrett, a first- year player, went to the air to connect with James Coaxum for a 65-yard score to pull out an im- pressive fourth quarter victory over Berkeley. The season began to look gloomy as the Bull- pups lost the next two games to Stratford and Summerville and tied James Island. Coach Russell Polk, third-year defensive line coordinator commented, “In order to have a prom- ising season, it will take consistency as well as the determination and the de- sire to win a ball game.” With only three games remaining, Jody McClain contributed his longest field goal of the season, 35 yards, to score 11-6 over Goose Creek. The Bullpups’ defense added the spark that was needed on two goal-line stands to defeat Georgetown 6-0. After shutting out the Burke Bulldogs at home, the Pups closed the sea- son with an impressive 4- 4-1 record.

Leg weights are an important part of James Middleton’s workout. This is James’ first year on the varsity basket- ball team. Train, Don't Strain Even though it took dedicated players to make any team success- ful, the training program promoted by the team played a determining role in its success. Each sport required different training to prepare players for var- ious positions. One of the most recent- ly emphasized areas of training was weight lift- ing. Football, softball, baseball, softball, basket- ball, track, and volleyball all had specific routines for the members of the team. These usually in- cluded workouts about three times a week. Thus the weight room was re- served for teams on spe- cific days throughout the week. Because football was a mandatory off-season pro- gram, it was the sport gen- erally most inolved in the weightlifing program. It was a demanding part of playing the sport, but one which received rewards at the end of the year. At the athletic banquet, awards for perfect attendance and most improved were given to deserving play- ers. Billy Ray Herndon, who recieved the Most Im- prove Weightlifter award last year, commented, “The weight program at WHS is a great thing for the team. It not only builds endurance but helps a team develop a comfortable atmosphere when playing.” Another important as- pect of the training of a team was the coach-play- er involvement. Coaches served the teams in var- ious ways. They provided leadership to help guide the team and construc- tive criticism when need- ed. Whenever the mem- bers needed support, the coaches readily gave it. Most coaches served as nurses of sports. Injuries were abundant. Even though injuries were all part of the tribulations that coaches had to en- dure, they overcame to capitalize on the positives to develop a successful team. Endurance is the most important element of weight training.” — Mike Hiott, senior ‘‘It takes dedication to build firm muscles for lasting endurance.” — LaVoy Phoenix, senior Weightlifting 165 I I One for the Record Books Excitement reached an unknown height when the volleyball team defeated Burke and broke a three- year losing streak for the girls’ varsity team. This early-season win boosted the confidence of the team and led to five other conference match victo- ries. For the first time in four consecutive years, the squad made it to the third round in the playoff games and finished the season ranked seventh in the conference. The long- awaited winning season fi- nally came. The teammates felt a great sense of accom- plishment this season. Jessica Von Platen, the team’s first exchange stu- dent from Germany, was amazed at the amount of team spirit and unity the players showed. Rookie Wanda Davis comment- ed, “I enjoyed playing with this team because I considered myself a mem- ber of a wonderful family unit. We helped each oth- er through our problems and had fun while we played a sport we all loved.” Nine-year Coach Cath- ie Layton expressed her pride in the squad be- cause the members of the team demonstrated many skills while playing against teams who were on a college-game level. She attributed the suc- cess of the team to the at- titudes of the players. “The ladies were unself- ish, dedicated, and just enjoyed playing a good game of volleyball,” Ms. Layton noted.

That sport was cross-country. A motley crew of runners came forth this season to participate in the 3.1 mile run on a rough, country track. Hills and branches challenged the competi- tors in their race for victo- ry While the team was rather young this year, only two seniors partici- pated, the team managed to finish fourth in the con- ference. Yet the team failed to qualify for state by about 10-15 points. Even though the team was to be commended, Coach Reitman said that the major reason the team did not perform up to par was because no one re- turned from the previous year. Each year brings an- other time of rebuilding. Most of the participants run while they are in lower grades, then become in- volved in other extracurri- cular activities. In terms of statistics, three out of eight runners might re- turn for another year. Even though it is diffi- cult for Coach Reitman to create a new team each year, he maintains a posi- tive attitude toward each athlete. He remarked, “Over the years of coach- ing the cross-country team, I watched the run- ners develop from chil- dren to adults. It is truly worth my time and dedi- cation.” by Shawna Davis “Cross-country has been my first chance to run.

The varsity boys’ team consisted of a ten-mem- ber experienced ball club, with a majority advancing from junior varisty to var- sity. Head Coach Ace Col- lins was striving for high goals from the varsity boys this year. “I was very optimistic at the be- ginning of the season and anticipated a great season with the players we had returning.” Throughout the sea- son, senior forward Sandy Fields contributed to the team as leading scorer with 17 points per game and leading rebounder with an aveage of 9 re- bounds per game. With senior players Marcus Townsend and Scott Ad- ams receiving much pres- sure from the point-guard position, first-year varsity player Marlon Cobbs looked confident for next year. High on academics, Coach Ace Collins persist- ed in keeping the after- school study hall open to the players to ease home- work pressure after prac- tice. “We had some play- ers who just did not have the discipline that was needed to become suc- cessful.” The biggest upset of the season came against arch rival Summerville Green Wave. “That was one goal that 1 always dreamed of year after year and this year, due to the leardership shown in the game, it came through,” commented Senior Scott Adams. “With the lack of confi- dence, desire, and the abil- ity to overcome adversi- ty, the team’s improve- ment was very little this year. Hopefully, we can use this past experience as a means of inspiring us to work harder for a piece of the conference pie and perhaps even the play- offs,” commented Coach Collins. by Kenneth Campbell Ruffin Goose Creek Summerville Georgetown N.

With much scoring ef- fort and support, varsity team players Laura Kin- ard, Cathy Jakes, Christy Bashnan, and Fredreka Ford contributed much to the team success. Adding potential to the forward position, team- mate Leatha Evans accu- mulated 117 points from the field and was second in team rebounding with 204 rebounds. But much strength was provided by senior player Rhonda Robinson, who for the second consecu- tive year led the team in 204 rebounds on defense and second in team scor- ing with 217 on offense. Junior player Michelle Minton displayed her best season ever by earning the title of All-Conference Player.

Coach “Ace” Collins was impressed with the 12-7 record of the Junior Varsity Boys which showed an improvement over last year’s record. “We were young in exper- ience, but knew how to play the game of basket- ball very well,” comment- ed Coach Collins. Coach Collins was pleased with the season, but faced many problems in the first nine weeks. Most of the problems were disciplinary and aca- demic. Jay Davis impli- cated, “The absence of a few players did cause a disruption in the team’s unity.” Next year a unit of study hall will be manda- tory for persons who wish to play basketball. The purpose of the study hall is to improve the aca- demic standing of the players. Some members of the team did shine through the season, which contrib- uted to the team’s perfor- mance. Players such as Greg Hamilton, Jay Da- vis, and Anthony Womble added the touch needed for winning. Because of his ineligiblity, Greg Ham- ilton missed the first se- mester, but returned with an average of nine re- bounds over the last ten games. Jay Davis aver- aged nine rebounds per game. First-year player Anthony Womble led the team with an average of thirteen points per ball- game. “A few players do have the potential for advanc- ing to Varsity next year,” commented Coach Col- lins. “Those that are knowledgeable about the game can get the job done, but hopefully we still have a chance to ad- vance next year.” Next year Coach Col- lins hopes to minimize tur- novers, but increase in maintaining possession offensively. “It was an ex- citing season and the guys came through,” he affirmed. by Kenneth Campbell SCOREBOARD WHS Opp. WHS Opp. 45 Ruffin 33 Goose Creek 45 Goose Creek 20 James Island 37 Summerville 45 Summerville 37 St. George 21 44 No. Charleston 36 26 Mo.

When they were bad, they were very bad.”—Coach Marsha Coe The team members took time to get better, but they made tremendous strides. After Christmas they felt their chances to win were greater. Ninth grader Becky Avant, from the Middle School, helped under the basket. With an average of 2.9 as- sists per game and 3.5 steals per game, Audrey Breland was one of the key players on the team. 176 Sports As one of the two veterans on the team, Sonta Smalls gave much support to this year’s team. Sonta was on the team for a second year because Coach Coe thought she need- ed more playing time than she would get from being on the varsity. HOOTING H IGH Lady Dogs Win Fifteen Coach Martha Coe con- sidered the J.V. girls’ bas- ketball team to be one of her hardest working teams. The two captains of the team, sophomore veterans Audrey Breland, a point guard, and Sonta Smalls, a forward, proved to be assets to the team, Tara Olmer, Becky Avant, LaWanda Aiken, and Suzie Graves also helped lead the team to a very successful season of 15-4. Coach Coe com- mented, “In the beginning of the season, I would nev- er have believed they would have a 15-4 re- cord.” This unpredictable and highly competitive team would be the first of a number of girls’ basket- ball teams to play well consistently throughout every season. Although Ms. Coe said it was hard making it through some of the games, she did have confidence in them. The team played well in the most critical parts of the game, the first three minutes of the first and second halves. This un- predictability was shown in games such as the sec- ond Summerville game, when they came into the game overconfident be- cause they had won the first. Fortunately, they were able to come back with a much needed win. Their competitiveness was shown in games when they were behind. LaWanda Aiken com- mented, “The team didn't get down when we were losing; they played hard- er.” Overall, this year’s Lady Dogs were a very close team that stuck to- gether. They were given a lot of support and cooper- ation from other team members which is a char- acteristic of “one of the best basketball teams I have ever coa- ched.”—Ms. Coe by Seth Huckabee Scoreboard WHS OPP WHS OPP 30 8 Ruffin 28 27 25 17 Goose Creek 21 23 29 28 Summerville 19 37 24 26 St. George 25 22 North Charleston 21 19 20 29 Wando 31 12 24 13 Burke 29 18 30 18 Berkeley 40 27 23 19 James Island 30 24 28 16 Stratford 31 28 H11 Bottom Row; Dafne Blocker, Suzan Driggers, Becky Avant, Cheryl Black, Emily Brunson.

Girls’ Basketball 177 r AJ r$ DUES'! r Youths Battle Inexperience Although unable to fin- ish with a winning season, the soccer team’s 1-12-1 record did not show the actual talent the team possessed. Three reasons for their losses are the team’s lack of exper- ience, lack of maturity, and the size of the play- ers. The Bulldogs consist- ed mostly of sophomores, freshmen, and eighth graders. The exceptions were foreign exchange students Kent Holm, Ga- briel Yermo, Carlos Cara, and Thomas Jung, all of whom were seniors. The team also faced hard op- position, with many of the opposing teams being composed of all seniors, Many of the opposing schools also had one or more junior varsity teams. The bulldogs could not execute team-work. Coach Don Carr said, “The team would have done much better if they had passed more and had been able to play more en- thusiastically in the last 15 minutes of the game.” The team either became depressed or too over-con- fident near the end of a match. In most games the team was ahead at the half, but lost it in the end. “The position that was definitely worked the most was fullback,” said Jamie Coson. Coach Carr tried a variety of people at fullback, ranging from Shane Roberts, a rookie, to Seth Huckabee, a third- year player who usually played forward. Sopho- more Jeff Hughes pro- vided the foundation for the fullbacks. Scott Schlesser, a sophomore, and Jeb Huckabee, an eighth grader, occupied the position of goalie. Both had a very high per- centage of saves. Kent Holm, Gabriel Yermo, and Seth Huckabee were the leading scorers. SOCREBOARD The 1988 Soccer Team.

The team’s re- cord was 7-11 overall and 7-9 in the conference. The team had only three seniors: Larry Pen- field, Jerome Williams, and Stacy Fields. Penfield commented, “I thought we had a good year, con- sidering the youth of the team. The younger play- ers came through for us when we needed them.” Penfield also broke a state record with a sixteen- game hitting streak. The team was dominat- ed by sophomores and freshmen; however, soph- omore Marlon Cobbs had the best bating average and was voted MVP. Eighth grader Perry Smalls was voted the best defensive player. Most of the team’s players participated in other extra-curricular ac- tivities throughout the year. Some even played Americain Legion Base- ball during the summer. Heath Jones remarked, “Americain Legion base- ball keeps me in shape during the summer until football season comes. It is challenging and helps me maintain baseball skills between seasons.” Jerome Williams, Larry Penfield, Heath Jones and Jody McLain played foot- ball in the fall. Marlon Cobbs and Anthony Worn- bell were also active in basketball. “I did what I could on the mound and in the field; but the other teams seemed to be nothing but juniors and seniors, while we were nothing but freshmen and sopho- mores.” -Perry Smalls “We did not have the ex- perience it takes to have a really successful season. We have talent but it is raw and unshaped.” - Hung Quach Baseball 181 In the Winners ’ Bracket played this year.

The Lady Bull- dogs then hosted the Lower State playoffs in which they were ranked number one. After decisive victo- ries in the first few games of the playoffs against Lake City and Lancaster, the Lady Dogs met stiff compe- tition from Spring Valley. Although the Ladies lost the last game of the play- offs to Spring Valley, they did beat the Vikings 3-0 in a prior game of the playoffs for the first time since their first regional victory. Coach Rusty Adams also celebrated his hundredth victory over Summerville this year. The season re- cord ended 23-3. Continued success is projected for this team, be- cause only two seniors senior was starting catcher Tammy McGraw who hopefully will be playing softball for Lander college next year.

Polk was able to stand up on his donkey to slam. However, his don- key became interested in someone else, leaving him hanging on the rim. Coach Polk commented, ‘It was definitely harder than it looked. Trying to move them was like try- ing to move an immov- able object. Even though the don- keys moved slowly and the game was not fast- paced, the men had to move quickly to mount An Insdne Game their donkeys once they had gotten off to get the ball. Though the donkeys’ bucking and kicking caused a lot of bruises and strained muscles, in the second half the scor- ing broke out with the Id- iots leading, 4 2. The Id- iots held on to the lead. Definitely the worst job to have in the game was being the “pooper scoop- er,” yet Mr. Barnhill did this job well. There were no bad smells or dirty shoes, which made the game more pleasant for the fans.. During halftime, six young ladies played a slightly altered game of musical chairs. The ladies began by walking around five donkeys until the ref- eree blew the whistle, then they struggled to mount the donkeys. At the end of each round one lady was eliminated. Mette Steenfeldt was the winner; this entitled her to the position of Waiter- boro High’s 1988 Ms. Jackass.” Mette had to give the donkey a kiss on the nose.

Rusty Adams concentrates on keeping his balance while riding at top speed to the oth- er end of the court to shoot.

Donkey Basketball i rk jr-' . jvl A k n tp'f NAL 3ti r Achievements Accent Team For many girls the rou- tine of Home Econimics class and the modeling club was a little too mun- dane. These students found excitement and competition in Girls’ Track. The intensity and hard work that goes into building a record-setting track team was in full force as Coach Marsha Coe whipped these young women into superior ath- letic form. This year’s track team boasted many personal achievements and suc- cesses. Junior Teresa Coaxum excelled in the 200 meter dash with a time of 26.5 seconds. Monica Holmes astound- ed the crowds by high jumping an amazingyfour fete and ten inches. Vernisa Bodison strutted her stuff by tossing the discus ninety nine feet and three inches, while Rhonda Maree pounced to sixteen foot two inches long jump. Rhonda Robin- son led the pack of record holders by shattering the school’s shot put record and defeating over thirty girls to take top honors in the regional meet. Although the girls did their best and worked hard, the inavailability of adequate track facilities on which to practice re- turned to haunt the team as it reached the confer- ence meet. The team practiced daily with the boys’ team on a make- shift track which mainly consisted of the student parking lot and some py- lons. With the addition of Ms. Sonya Sims as assis- tant track coach, Ms. Coe was now able to cover more directly and articu- Iatly more of the basics of the events while Ms. Sims conducted other practice sessions. Ms. Coe empha- sized Ms. Sims contribu- tion by expressing, “her presence not only helped me to conduct practice more efficiently, but also to communicate with the girls more easily.” With fewer than five seniors on the girls’ track squad and the addition of a clay track in the near future the prospects for track are looking much brighter. Clinching sixth place in the long jump, Monica Holmes shows her versatility in the polevault at the 6-AAAA Conference Track Meet held annually at James Island High School. “I am proud of my ac- complishments, but the success of the team is the most im- portant goal.’ — Rhonda Robinson, senior “With the lack of a proper facility on which to practice, the girls’ performance was great and over my expectations.” — Coach Marsha Coe 188 Sports Outstanding Performances Teresa Coaxum Monica Holmes Vernisa Bodison Rhonda Maree 26.5 sec. — 200m. dash 4 ft. 10 in. — high jump 99 ft. 3 in. — discus 16 ft. 2 in. — long jump Shana Drayton, Ericka Jenkins, 4 min. 26 sec. — 400m. relay Teresa Copeland, Tabethe Copeland THE 1988 TRACK TEAM l op Row: Rhonda Maree, Teresa Doaxum.

The “Foursome,” which makes up the 400-relay team, broke several school records through- out the season. During the conference the team took first with a time of 42.7. Several teammates had a chance to compete indi- vidually for placement. Kenny Brown, who was absent from the team due to a severe knee injury, made an astonishing re- covery to win the 300-me- ter intermediate hurdles and place second in the 100-meter hurdles. With Smith capturing third, teammate Evans took fourth place in the 200- meter dash. Qualifing for third was Kenny Bowman in the high jump. Fresh- man Shawn Weans, voted the most improved player of the year, displayed his running abilities in the 800-meter run by placing second with teammate Greg Wilson taking third. Having the versatility to play football and using the phase ‘‘saving the best for last” Ernest Smith was voted MVP. “Smith, worked hard. He gave his all to the team. But Smith displayed lead- ership when needed and that is what separated him from the rest,” com- mented Coach Reitman. Other team members who added the spark throughout the season were Marc Bright, Cleve- land Holmes, Mark John- son, Tony Cockrum, and Maurice Powell. The team, losing much of its speed, will have more returning members than in the past. “What we have to work towards next year is the speed and the leadership that will be tested during that sea- son,” commented Coach Reitman.

The Spice of Life developed great athletic skills to free jump or ollie while maintaining bal- ance; and it was evident that skaters had their own style. The key was indi- viduality; each skater had his unique attitude which he expresses through clothes and art designs. Probably, the description of a skater included bag- gie pants, slogan t-shirts like “Bones,” braidedbra- celets, and vans. Skat- ers haven’t always dressed this way. Craig Duffie, for example, wore Polo shirts and Khakis, and Byron Miller sported preppie ties and oxfords occasionally.

A Special Kind of Fun The amount of love and devotion shown by the volunteer high school stu- dents at the annual Spe- cial Olympics gave a promising look toward the future. Numerous stu- dents sacrificed their day to assist handicapped stu- dents in their attempts to achieve. Along with the Civitans, Mayor Elton Culpepper and School Di- rector Tom Lohr, teach- ers and coaches also con- tributed their time and en- ergy to make the Olympics a success. Each year, the Special Olympics are held to al- low those special stu- dents to participate in ac- tivities that are both en- joyable and rewarding. In addition to the help the volunteers provided, they also lent their hearts to those who truly appreciat- ed it. Through this exper- ience, both the partici- pants and the volunteers grew. Cynthia Salley re- called, “The volunteers encouraged the partici- pants, and the experience gave the volunteers an ap- preciation of those less fortunate than them- selves.” A variety of events was offered to those who wished to compete. Some were the 100-meter walk, 50-yard dash, softball throw, and 400-meter run. Face-painting was an ex- tra attraction which the participants enjoyed. If none of these activities were interesting to the athletes, they could also take part in frisbee throw- ing. Ribbons were given to most of the participants for their efforts and achievements. by Shawna Davis “Working with Special Olympics is a privilege and a great opportunity to help with children.” — Jennifer Chipokites, sen- ior. “I feel that the Special Olympics is a brilliant idea . . ; I really enjoyed working with it this year.” — Erica Booth, Senior Special Olympics IN SEARCH OF FUN: CONTINUED The final leg of the investigation revealed that the insurgence of fun among the students was not con- tained in the school; contrarily, it spilled over into the community. When Mr. Pence realized the full scope of fun’s reach, he began to see the futility in trying to contain it. He brought the investigation to an end, deciding that, since no harmful ef- fects had become evident, the pres- sence of fun must not be detrimental to the students. He released the trusty administrators from the case, telling them, “If you can’t beat’em, join’em.” The signs that had been placed in the glass showcase proclaiming “DANGER! Fun is on the loose!” were edited to read “ATTENTION! Fun is on the loose—thank goodness!” 198 Community Have a “Doggy” Christmas! raving a holly, jolly time in the Walterboro Christmas Parade, .londa Maree and Tina Hoover, along with bulldog mascot m ard Lee Hooker, wave to the excited crowds.

The night of October 2, a large crowd anxious- ly awaited to see the performers and various ani- mals of the Roberts’ Brothers Three-Ring Circus. It was held in a huge tent across from the Waiter- boro High School and was sponsored by the Wal- terboro SPCA. Only minutes passed before the procession of trapeze artists, elephants, llamas, horses, and mountain lions mesmerized the audi- ence. The clowns soon followed with their whim- sical acts that aiways seem to be crowd-pleasers. The daring trapeze artists fascinated the audi- ence as they swung through the air with the great- est of ease, as most of the animals allowed the children to gently pet them. The fire-swallowers enchanted the crowd with their dangerous stunts. As always, the clowns provided refresh- ments and balloons for the crowds during the brief intermission. A main attraction at the Roberts’ Circus, this elephant carries lovely ladies around the ring.

Some of the bands included Orange- burg-Wilkinson, Ruffin, Johnsonville, St. Andrews, and Garrett High. Orangeburg-Wilkinson gave one of the most creative performances. The band played songs from the Broadway musi- cal Cats and used two billboards with scenes of New York City’s skyline to camouflage the flag girls’ transforma- tion into life-size “cats.” The crowd real- ly enjoyed the hint of mystery in the band's performance. Their wonderfully articulate display of creativity really added to their show. Many members of the Band of Blue watched joyously as the other bands per- formed, but they knew they would be on the same familiar field later on that night. When the time came for the band to take the field, members composed them- selves, determined to go onto that field and do their best.

The Coastal Bugs and Shriners contributed to the success of the parade with their zany display of mini-cars and hillbilly cops. The procession, ac- cording to Charlie Sweat of the Walterboro Jay- cees, the sponsors of the parade, went smoothly. There was, however, one exception: a stubborn donkey decided to take a rest halfway through the parade. With much coaxing, the beast finally de- cided to finish the rest of the parade. Colleton County Food Service, no doubt spurred by the Christmas spirit, also entered a float. Lunch- room workers from various schools throughout the county participated by tossing bagged cookies, prepared by the school cooks, to the crowd. The judging of the entries followed the parade. The Lowcountry Community Action Agency float was awarded with first place recognition. Kennedy Child Development Center received second place, while the Colleton Food Service float came in third. St. Anthony's Church received honorable mention. The parade concluded with a tree-lighting cere- mony at the Washington Street Plaza. St. Nicholas himself made a guest appearance, concluding the ceremony by wishing those in attendance a very merry Christmas.

Presidential hopefuls Jack Kemp and Pat Robertson also campaigned in WaJterboro. Select members of WHS student body and fac- ulty attended a program at the Dogwood Hills Country Club in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth Dole on January 19, 1988. Mrs. Dole came to South Caro- lina, the “New Hampshire of the South,” to cam- paign for her husband, presidential candidate, Senator Robert Dole, Students from Ruffin High and John C. Calhoun Academy also attended the program. The event began at 2:30 and lasted until 4:00 in the afternoon. Mr. Ike Cheves headed the presen- tation with a few words about the campaign’s co- chairmen, Paul Steadman and K.C. Campbell. The program outlined Senator Dole’s life from his childhood to his present-day status as a top gov- ernment official. Mrs. Dole expressesd how important the South Carolina people were and how vital those votes are as she said that (South Carolina) is “the gate- way to Super Tuesday.” She further urged the group to consider Bob Dole as President by ask- ing, “Whom do we want sitting across the table from Gorbachev?” Mrs. Dole never pointed out the faults of her husband’s rival presidential can- didates but steadfastly concentrated on Senator Dole’s qualifications and high moral standards. Mrs. Dole ended her speech with a comment that she often hears: “I'm a democrat, but I’m for Dole!” On that final note, she thanked the audi- ence and spent a few minutes with the crowd before leaving for her next engagement.

The show con- sisted of four musical segments. The Rock and Roll from the 50’s, a lip sync segment, a gospel music seg- ment, and selections from three Broadway musicals including Annie Get Your Gun and My Fair Lady were included in the show. Director Ed Robbins commented that 60 percent of the cast was sev- enth grade and younger. An outstand- ing member of the cast was Nathaniel Green, a member of the Walterboro High performing chorus, who sang “Blueberry Hill” and “Sweet Little Sixteen.” Other members from Wal- terboro High among the dancers were Katrina Avant, Amy Wright, Kim Dandrige, Kim Murdaugh, Karen But- terworth, Yalanda Pinckney, Tanya Snow, Ginger Hansborough, and Billy Jones. The production would not have gone as smoothly without the help of the young ladies who wore cute costumes and seated all the spectators with a smile. It took a lot of patience to wear a decorat- ed hat and maintain a smile for over an hour and a half.

The WHS Singers, un- der the direction of Stephanie Drawdy, were among the featured en- tertainers. Other activities of the festi- val included the Arts and Crafts show, a student skateboarding exhibi- tion, the carnival, the Rice Run, the SFCA Dog Show, the bike race, and the children’s big wheel race. Mr. Bill Cook, owner of Burger King, donated the money for a teen dance. The dance, held Friday night of the festival, featured music by Craig Russell of Q107 and Charleston Mobile music. The fireworks display was held during the dance. The Rice Planters smile and wave to all the spectators at the annual Rice Festi- val parade. The chorus entertains the crowd during the hot and festive weekend. These words spoken over 2,000 years ago are still true.

The million-dollar project was finally fin- ished early in the spring. The city officials initiated this project in hopes to bring business back to the downtown area. Several changes have occurred since this project started. The building where Colleton Drug was locat- ed is now Kenwins, a clothing sotre. A waterfall was built and benches were added for citizens’ leisure. Bright new modern streetlights and brick cross- walks were a few new additions on Washington Street. Citizens’ of Walterboro now have a nice place to take visiting friends and realtives to show them a little southern Culture. Instead of taking that long trip to Charleston, the populace of Walter- boro can now shop at home. The people are happy, the merchants are happy, city officials are happy — everyone is happy. What a sight! This new streetlight brightens the front of Crosby-Herndon's Music Store and Duke’s Barber Shop on a Friday night.

For the senior, who knew where to go, even if he didn’t care where he was go- ing, the halls seemed perme- ated with thoughts of yester- day and dreams of tomor- row. The year was characterized by endearing friendships, scathing contro- versies, fun-ffilled lunch per- iods and, of course, all the latest gossip. The Band of Blue came in second at State Contest but junior, and continued to be number one in everyone’s heart. The foot- ball team never seemed to be able to get its feet firmly planted in the ground, but it kept the students occupied and entertained on Friday nights from September to November. Thirteen foreign friends, courtesy of the AYCJSA exchange student program, flew into the stu- dents’ lives and flew back again having touched and changed the way they looked at life. The National Honor Society became more involved in the school’s ac- tivities, organizing a winter dance and an Academic Ban- quet. The administration cracked down hard on tar- dies, absences, cutting and general “unschooliness,” but the school board had a difficult time deciding what to do with all the offenders. What was the answer? De- tention! A new detention pro- gram became common to those students that just could not make it to class on time. Students petitioned and made trips before the school board but eventually succumbed to the demands of the board. Not to say that the board wasn’t having problmes of its own. By pop- ular vote Colleton County de- cided to allow the Superin- tendent of Education to be elected instead of appointed in a referendum held Novem- ber 10, 1987. Adjusting his “bodacious” pen- striped suit, Faculty basketball coach K C (Kool and Chilly) Cranford led his team to a one point victory in the annual stu- dent-faculty basketball game. “Oh Wow!

Do ing homework during free time at school was the best way stu- dents knew fo enjoy their time out of school. Discussing their plans for after the Prom was top priority for Jarvelce .McMillan and Sabrina Levine. Some went to Shoney’s or another restaruant while others prepared for the litudiistic drive to Edisto Beach for Junior-Senior weekend. Closing 239 Would you take the risk of being caught passing notes in class? Tra- cy Reeves and Jody Pilch braved the unknown punishment daily in order to keep aware of all the school gossip in Mrs. Mayse's first period psychology class.

Mrs. Edna Taylor dressed as the Easter Bunny for the occasion. ... -Tv ....v..;.;;------------- “The Discovery of Fun” Case 1988, Vol. 18 Looking back at the end of a long year, it was time to calculate the mis- takes, total the wounded and prepare to redetermine the strategy as an- other year was fastly approaching and the score card was changing. With graduation, the efforts, tears and triumphs came to a magnificent finale. The exams were over and the student parking lot would remain de- serted until band camp in August. The endless days of passing notes, killer tests and “where's your pass?” had come to an end, except for the memories of days gone by and the dreams of what lies ahead. Although school was over for the seniors, they all knew that was where the “real” fun started. The fun and excitement for senior Phyllis Powell culminates in one magical fairy-tale night with her prince charming, Leron Allen.
