-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

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.

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
