Summer seemed to fly by, and before students and faculty realized it, it was time to return to school. Students and faculty alike spent days and weeks preparing for the first day of school The beginning of August marked the start of long hours of practice for band members, football players, and volleyball players in preparation for competition. Many groups met during the summer to plan for the year ahead. The National Honor Society held a meeting to write a chapter constitution and plan a long-term agenda. The Student Council met to select committee chairmen and set goals for the year. The journalism staff spent a weekend at Edisto Beach to have workshops and plan the yearbook and newspaper. The administrators spent much of the summer preparing the building and grounds for the first day and working with Osiris, the new computer system, which produced schedules and kept attendance. Students picked up sched- ules, paid fees, and rented lockers and parking spaces on August 18. Many students found the schedules quite confusing since the school day consisted of nine periods or blocks instead of the normal six periods. Students still took six classes, but the new scheduling allowed time for a third lunch period. It was only a matter of time before students adapted to the new schedules. Although freshmen faced four years of high school, they knew they would have some great times. Sophomores and juniors put another year behind them and looked forward with anticipation to the year. Seniors, realizing they only had a year of high school left, set out to make the most of the time that remained. £ {The most memorable mo- ment for me was the Thanks- giving community worship ser- vice held at Hampton Street Auditorium, y y -A Nathaniel Green, sophomore tfi think the most memorable event for the chorus students was getting a crest.

Pep rallies allow students a chance to “cut loose” at the end of some home-game Fridays, First Day Chaos Seniors Melissa Crosby, Donna Lognion, Jon Lohr, Kim Fennell, and Anne Hall wait outside Senior Guidance Counselor Mrs. Waring’s of- fice to get their schedules changed. Throughout the first week, droves of students visit their guid- ance counselors to drop or sign up for certain classes. Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere Attendance helpers Makala Wright and Holly Ryan bubble in attendance sheets in the morn- ing. Makala and Holly also help the Attendance Office by getting students out of class when they are being signed out. - Time Planning For A Night On The Town Gazing out of the bus window after a home game on a Friday night, senior band members Emily Sullivan and Andrea Duffie plan what to do after they get back to the school. Many students plan to get together with friends after the games. The Mayor Is Schooly Surrounded by political signs, posters, and bumper stickers. Mayor Elton Culpepper speaks to Mr, Cranford’s 6-7 period American Govern- ment class during the Christmas season about his first election. Field Trips Make School Bearable Posing it, front of a 8-foot bear, John Bartlett and T endy Schellenger compare themselves to the exhibit at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC. John and Wendy went with their Western Civil- ize:: on class and the Art Club to the Mint Mi iseum to visit the Ramesses Exhibit. Theme Development The Clock Is Running The first day of school, Tuesday, August 23, was a reunion of students and teachers, and friends and acquaintances. Besides all the new faces, other changes had taken place. Homeroom was held only under certain circum- stances. Students no longer had those few spare minutes to finish homework or to cram for a first period test. “Mighty” Osiris, the computer system, was designed to decrease the amount of time teachers spent on paperwork; however, at first, the “bubble” sheets seemed to cause trouble rather than save time. As the year pro- gressed, Osiris fulfilled its promise, and attendance, as well as grades, was handled by the computer. Football season got started on August 26. The team was one of the largest yet, and under the leadership of new coach Leroy Riley, the outlook was good. Spirit Week, beginning on September 19 and concluding that Friday with Homecoming, came early. On October 29, the Band of Blue competed in the State Band Contest. The band had put so much time and energy into perfecting their most difficult show ever. For all their efforts, the band received a disappointing fourth place. Because time heals all wounds, the band went on to give splendid performances at the Summerville game, parades, and concerts. Student government was put to the test when controversy arose over the location of the graduation ceremony. The senior class, though divided at first, united to present a proposal to the graduation committee. There were good times and bad times. The year held trials and tribulations but also triumphs and celebrations, for after all life is about time. {{My most memorable, mo- {{My most memorable day {{My Sweet Sixteen birthday meat was when I decided to was when my Local Heritage party was my most memorable take AP English.

It is the 25th reunion of the Class of 1989, A backward glance brings reminiscences of friends talk- ing between cars parked on Jeffries Boulevard, or gath- ered at the park downtown to discuss the issue of gradu- ation. Some remember spending their afternoons practic- ing for sports or band or working at a part-time job. On the weekend, the time was spent at parties, on dates, and at football and basketball games. Sometimes students drove to Charleston to take in a movie or shop in the mall when they could find “nothing to do” in town. Others remember spending leisure time staying home and renting movies. Some students have not forgotten going out to the parking lot after a particularly rough day, ready to head home for a relaxing afternoon, only to find their cars had been “bulldogged.” Cars which were illegally parked or cars without visible stickers had these locking devices installed on the tires by the administration. Students remembered meeting their friends at lunch or in the halls to catch up on the latest gossip. The hallways were always filled with daily familiar chatter interspersed with the foreign dia- lects of German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, and Danish exchange students. The reunion has conjured up memories of good times and bad — being a freshman, going on the first date, getting a license, having pep rallies, taking exams and the SAT, participating in sports and clubs, retaking the SAT, attending the Spring Dance and the Prom, staying at the beach for Jr. Sr. Weekend, and taking part in graduation. Time has a way of mellowing memories, and these high school memories truly become times to remember. Student Life PI The lead singer of the Air Force Reserves rock band out of Warren- Robins, Georgia, sings a ballad to junior Charlie Singleton during a per- formance for students in the mini-auditorium. School-sponsored events, such as this, pro- vide students with some entertainment and en- joyment and a chance to escape the monotony of classes. Divider Freshmen receive their P.E. orientation from Coach Burke on the first day of school, Just the sight of Coach Burke’s name on schedules struck fear into the hearts of many. Even Ms. Guerry found the new schedule challenging and often times confusing. The new schedule troubled both faculty and students on the first days but became second nature after a few weeks. Practicing in the first days of the August heat, band members sweat it out to be the best. Band members willingly gave up their summer to practice their new show. Foreign exchange student Kayo Morita, looks worried on the first day in a much larger and louder school. Kayo is from To- kyo, Japan. First Days Timely Trivia Did you know this was the first year Pepsi products were not sold at school? A five-year contract was signed with the Coca-Cola Co., and in return Coca-Cola donated a score- board to the Athle- tic Department. With feelings of appre- hension about returning school, students rose early Wednesday morn- ing, August 25. Earlier, they had reported to school to pick up sched- ules, rent lockers, and purchase parking stick- ers. Although the sum- mer vacation was the main conversation among friends, confusion over the new nine-period schedules was surely the second. Jimmy Hunt, a freshman, stated, “At first, I had trouble finding my way around the school, but with the help of a few upperclassmen I’ve adjusted well and I’m looking forward to the year ahead.’’ Freshmen had just en- tered the “high school” scene, and the upper- classmen quickly remind- ed them of their status as the “lowest level of life.” Sophomores were glad to leave behind the lowly title of freshman and acheive a higher status. The sophomores felt a sense of pride and looked down on the new arrivals, but they were quickly re- minded of their place by the upperclassmen. Juniors were proud of their accomplishments in the past and longed for the respect that they had worked hard for and would receive from under- classmen. James Baker, a junior, commented, “Since 1 have become a junior, I know that I still have plenty of work left in the year to come. Howev- er, I feel that the upperass- men must set a stanrd for the underclassmen to foH££ •VfAV. low.” Then there were the “Top Dogs,” the seniors. Sophisticated, mature, and confident, the seniors had reached the highest status among the masses at school. “I’ve looked forward to this all of my life. I don’t plan to let it slip away,” said Jacob Crosby, a sen- ior. This “never reteat- never surrender” attitude held by the senior class gave them a stature that comes with being the “Top Dogs.” By Mary Bass and Monica Linder Although it is early in the year, Amy Tinker has several books to put in her locker. Amy is also a member of the chorus. JF irst days In the beginning s pirit Week 1 “TIME OUT” for the unusual September 19 began the traditional “Spirit Week. During this week students showed their school spirit by dressing according to the set day. Monday was “Twin Day ’ Andrea Duffy and Michelle Berry were two of several people dressed alike. Andrea comment- ed, “Spirit Week is fun and this is my Senior year and SENIORS RULE!” With Tuesday came “Black Out1’ Day. Every- one dressed in black to mourn for the opposing team. This day brought the most participation.. Kim Dandridge, a junior, stated, “It was something different. It was really WILD!” Wednesday brought the 50’s. Students rum- Back in time Mr. Jarvis shows his school spirit by dressing for the 50 s. This was Mr. Jarvis' first year as an assistant princi- pal.

This special day was created when the Waiter- boro Wildcats be- came the Bulldogs. maged through their par- ents’ old clothes and came to school in pony- tails, rolled-up jeans, red lipstick, and penny loaf- ers. Thursday brought the varsity look with students wearing clothes covered in the name of their favor- tite college. When one teacher was asked why she didn’t wear a shirt from her alma mater she stated, “If 1 had a shirt from my college days it would probably have dis- integrated by now!” Also, the Senior Class spon- sored an in-school dance, and the senior football players voted on the 1989 Homecoming Queen. The contestants included Anne Hall, Melanie Col- son, Nicole Holmes, She- lia Washington, and Moni- ca Linder. Melanie Col- son, recently named Color Guard Captain for the band, was asked how she felt about walking out in front of the crowd at the game. She replied, “VERY NERVOUS!” Friday was the tradi- tional “Blue and White Day.” A Pep Rally was also held and the Senior Football Players were fed baby food by the Varsity Cheerleaders. After- wards, the “mighty” Bull- dogs left the rally ready for victory over James Is- land.

AN the “Bull- dog Freaks” came out on Friday night. The word in fashion this year was the “past.” Cut-off pants, tye-dyed shirts, turtle necks, and r.cardigans were favorites r , -,:Vu%f both girls and guys. Al- though these fads came close, they did not equal the popularity of back- packs and plaid. One could not change classes without seeing at least ten backpacks and fifteen dif- ferent kinds of plaid. Other preferred fash- ions were flashes from the past. “You can wear something from your par- ents’ closet and not look strange,” remarked Emily Sullivan. Polo shirts, jeans, oxford shirts, big- knit sweaters, and mini- skirts, although not as popular as they were in previous seasons, were still a part of almost every girl’s wardrobe. Stacie Murray replied, “It is a blend of the past and the present.” One of this season’s biggest changes was from buck shoes and sebagoes to keds. Also, black pat- ent leather shoes and Brit- ish Knights were worn with no socks at all. The “hottest” items in girls’ jewelry were leather- strapped watches, big ear- rings, gold or silver brace- lets, and patterned scarfs. Both girls and guys con- tinued to wear “friend- ship” bracelets, a favorite of Walterboro teens foi over two years. “Fashion is anything you want to wear,” Nikki Moore stat- ed. “Surfer” cuts an the “Bob” were again popular hair styles. Although they were basically the same cuts, they were longer and straighter. Other pop- ular hair styles were long- er and culier with only a few bangs for girls and short hair with a few curls at the neck for guys. By Mary Bass In tons of tie-dye, freshman Sandy Sanders catches up on the latest gossip with Rachel Eckerd. Seeing friends in the Commons Area during lunch is the favorite part of the day for many students. Timely Trivia Did you know that during one day in the commons area, a student counted nearly 200 students carrying back- packs. This obser- vation was made during the three lunches conducted from 10:30 to 1:30. Student Life Making a bold statement in hair design, Randy Mills stays cool with his Mohawk. Randy first cut his hair to show school spirit and to get a break from the summer heat.

Before Coach Polk’s physical science class, freshman Tiffa- ny Memminger shows off her buck shoes. Buck shoes adorned the feet of both male and female students. 1 J H omecoming 1 ■ Night Festivities resumed that night at the stadium with the Homecoming Game. The team was pumped, thee row d, ex- cited j the Homecom i n g candidates tense, and the cheerleaders spirited. Then it happened, the banner was broken and the game had begun. This was the last Homecoming game for the senior foot- ball players and cheer- leaders, and as a farewell, they had taken their tradi- tional pre-game walk down the field with their sponsors. The highlight of this ceremony was the ap- pearance of two-year old Bray Mabry as the escort of football player Teddy Mabry. Teddy comment- ed, 1 was going to walk my girlfriend, but I had al- ready promised Bray. Be- sides, my escort was cuter than any of the oth- The half-time festivities began with the perfor- mance of the Band of Blue. After the band exit- ed the field, the home- coming candidates were escorted on by their spon- sors. Anne Hall was escorted by LeRay Moody, Nicole Holmes by James Wash- ington, Melanie Colson by Peter Lommen, Monica Linder by Billy Ray Hern- don, and Shiela Washing- ton by Theodore Broughton. The 1988-89 Miss Homecoming was Shiela Washington. She was crowned by Principal Bob S. Pence. “I was so shocked! I am very grate- ful to the senior football players.and I am proud to S aV i tV Homecoming Queen,” stated Shiela exuberantly. Anne Hall, a member of the Homecoming court, stated, “the competition was stiff and any one of us would have represented the school proudly.” The Dogs had a bitter 13-3 loss to the Trojans, but following the game was the Homecoming Dance and most of the spirits were lifted. The dance was sponsored by the senior class. By Monica Linder Confusion sets in as Lee John- son, Teddy Mabry, and Randy Mills practice for the pre-game ceremony for the Homecoming Game that Thursday night. Timely Trivia Why are mums so widely used in ho- me comigns all over the country? It is because homecom- ings usually occur in the fall, and mums are easily ob- tained. They are also cheap and easi- ly decorated. Student Life The teary-eyed 1988 89 Homecoming Queen, Sheila Washington was given a warm congratulation by principal Bob Pence. Varsity Cheerleaders Allie Moseley and Lorinda Black paint a banner for the homecoming game. The banner was torn up as the football team made its way on to the field.

Timely Trivia Did you know that approximately thir- ty-four percent of the student popula- tion has some form of job on weekday afternoons, and an even greater num- ber of students have jobs on weekeends? Junior, Jamie Colson careful- ly unloads groceries at an area Winn-Dixie. Along with working in Mr. Barnhills’ office, Rosie Bright works at H and D and Stacie Ray works at Bi-Rite. unching in the Time Clock When many students were enjoying quiet hours after school, others were diligently laboring long after 3:10 p.m. Only a few students had the perse- verance or parental per- mission to shed school at- tire and dawn the presti- gious uniform of a Burger King employee. While a few lucky students worked simply for their own pleasure, most worked because they des- perately required extra cash. How else can a teen- ager pay the costly price of being a junior or senior? Gass rings, senior sup- plies, prom attire, Junior Senior weekend, and most importantly, college money left many stu- dents’ pockets quite bare. Other expenses also chal- lenged students. “I need money to pay expenses for a car and car insur- ance,” replied Blythe Bu- chanan. Although summer had brought substantial pay- checks, numerous stu- dents endured seeing their pay cut in half when school started. Others left their positions behind cash registers and greasy grills in search of higher grades and more free time. A few students opt- ed only to work on week- ends, leaving their week- day afternoons free for resting, studying, or watching television. “A job can take up a large portion of a teenager’s life,” freshman Beth McDaniels stated. “Even though it is a lot of work and I have to make a lot of social sacrifices, 1 feel that it is a good exper- ience and it prepares me for life.” Learning from the re- sponsibility was another benefit students received from working. Many stu- dents found the gratifica- tion of being thought de- pendable enough to hold a job, and not to mention getting a salary, highly re- warding. Shea Robbins, who workd aty Video Vil- lage remarked, “I really enjoy working with peo- ple. Getting paid is just an added plus.” By Mary Bass As employees at Bogoslow and Jones, senior Leah Bell and sophomore Nichole Nettles re- view papers in the firm's library. While restocking the salad bar a the Burger King near the inter- state, Christie Byard gives up a Friday afternoon. Watering plants, Jennifer Coe- field, a junior, proves that stand- ing behind counters and cooking fast food are not the only jobs that Burger King workers have. “a time to dine” When students felt that familiar grumble, they satisfied their yearnings in several different ways. Some satisfied it with a pack of nabs and a coke. .. Others. course Fernandez, a senior from Spain, found the food in the lunch room a bit strange but soon over- came her fear of Ameri- can food. “At first I was j scared to eat in the lunch- room, but once I started to eat a little of it, I found that it definitely tastes worse than it smells, but you have to eat some- thing.” It seemed that Burger King, at both loca- tions, was one of the ma- jor hangouts for hungry students. On the weekends, Pizza Hut saw its share of the student body. Large groups gathered at the lo- cal pizza place and laughed while stuffing their faces, and catching a tfce, quantities of over-but- tered popcorn. After school, students would generally find something to eat at one of many fast-food restau- rants, but for those who preferred something quicker, Pepper-Mart was the place for them. During football games, students and parents alike enjoyed everything from hotdogs to pizza slices at the concession stand. After the game, Walterboro’s own fighting “Dogs” and their rival team mauled a Big Mac at McDonald’s. For the true Southern- er, Kentucky Fried Chick- en offered a truly south- ern delight. As the Califor- f nif. rRa .,.pja the opportunity to own their own raisin and savor one of their hamburgers. Mo matter where they were, the students always found a way to fill their cravings. Whether it was a Snickers bar in the morning or a bag of pota- to chips in the middle of the day, a student could always find something to eat and some way to eat it. By Mary Bass and Monica Linder Clowning at the lunch table is not unusual for Josh White. His friend Chris Turner tries to de- cide whether or not to eat his lunch. Timely Trivia Do you know many students eat fast food a week? Out of 100 students sur- veyed, approxi- mately 96% of them eat fast food at least once a week. ___________________ Student Life Questioning the nutritional value of his hot dog, senior Ted- dy Mabry begins to give reasons for not eating it. “Yuck!” Kim Nelson and Byron Crawford had an accident. Kim laughs as Byron dries the tea off his chicken. The stairway also provides a place for students to catch up on gossip and grab a bite to eat. A sophomore Tabitha Murdaugh and her friend take a break and share a pack of “nabs.” This was the first year that snack machines were open to the students in the Commons Area. Senior Sandra Boozer takes advantage of this privilege during a free period. While on a skiing trip, sopho- more Lewis Beach and freshman Jeff Young take a moment to view their surroundings, Lewis and Jeff were two of more than a dozen students to take a church ski trip to Beach Mountain after exams. After removing a pizza from the oven, sophomore Kwami Wright prepares it to be served. Kwami is one of many students who spend their weekends work- ing at local restaurants. Iimely Trivia Did you know that in a poll of one hun- dred students 48% of those polled chose Burger King as their favorite spot to get a bite to eat during the weekend? ime Flies When You’re Having Fun Although Walterboro may not be the best place in the world to look for ex- citement, students have always found some way to have a good time. Teen- agers are always on the prowl for an adventure. During the fall months football games and band contests filled the agenda of many students. While many students attended these events, others de- cided to sit them out in favor of a night on the town. Senior Vanessa Brown commented, Football games could be a little more exciting, but they are better than sit- ting home on a Friday night.” Shriner and Sad- dle Club parties were pop- ular along with other pri- vate house parties. Cruising and parking along Jefferies Boulevard was another weekend pas- time. Cruising Jefferies has been a part of the lives of teenagers since the 1950’s. Freshman Jo- die Jennings remarked en- thusiastically, “I enjoy cruising and talking to friends on Jefferies.” Starting near the Pizza Hut, students drive along the Boulevard looking for friends and fun, turning around again at the Burg- er Chick. Eating at Pizza Hut, an- other popular weekend spot, allowed students to catch up on the news with their friends as well as to get a bite to eat. The Drive-In, famous with stu- dents since the 1940’s, gave them the chance to see new movies without having to travel to Charleston. Yet another alternative to Friday and Saturday night boredom, the park in Forest Hills of- fered teenagers a chance to sit in a peaceful envi- ronment or release excess energy on the playground equipment. For those who decided on the excitement of Charleston, a wide variety of activities were avail- able. Charleston offered shopping, movie theaters, the historical beauty of the downtown area, putt- putt golf, bowling, skat- ing, and teen parties. By Mary Bass Getting a bite to eat, senior Jim Herndon and junior Jeremy Ware talk with friends in the Burger King parking lot. Many students chose Burger King as a favorite place to get a snack dur- ing a night out on the town. After spending Saturday at Citadel Mall, Kayo Morita, Wendy Garrett, and Katrin Nurn berger enjoy a meal at Taco Bell. The girls were anxious to go Christmas shopping to buy gifts for their families. Searching for just the right book at the Colleton Memorial Library, senior Arnie Farmer skims a book intently. Many stu- dents ventured to the library to find extra research materials for reports and to study on the weekends. Weekends The Spanish classes celebrat- ed their Christmas in Spanish style, Pinatas are one of many Christmas traditions held by the Spanish. Dwayne Buckner dem- onstrates his technique. “For God so loved the World” was the theme for the First Bap- tist Church’s float.

This was the fourth year the NHS sponsored the food drive. : ■.... � ■-. ■ :i f ■ olidays a special time of year As the spirit of the holi- days filled the air, stu- dents became anxious for a mid-year break and a chance to visit family members. By Halloween, the countdown for Christ- mas break had begun. Traditional ghosts and goblins, along with more contemporary spooks, haunted the stairways and halls. Senior Brad Ma- cLean exclaimed, “Al- though I didn’t dress for Halloween at school, I really admired the nerve of those who did. I simply came as Bob Dylan.” With Thanksgiving came the National Honor Society and Student Council’s annual food drives. The Honor Society and Student Council have been sponsoring the food drive for the past three years. ‘‘This was the most successful year for the NHS food drive. I'm glad I could be a part of this community service,” stat- ed food drive committee chairman Eddie Wilson, The NHS was responsible for collecting the food and the Student Council helped in the delivery. With the first week of December, students grew increasingly anxious over the upcoming vacation. With the first weekend came the annual Christ- mas parade. This was the first time since the early history of Walterboro that we have resorted to the “Main Street’' parade route. This was also the very first year that the pa- rade was conducted at night. “With the new ren- ovations to the street, the parade was truly beauti- ful, although the street was much too small for the parade to pass through easily,” stated sophomore Cynthia Herr. December filled the weeks and weekends with an abundance of activi- ties. Christmas shopping was usually at the top of the list. ”1 love to shop anyway, but when Christ- mas comes, everything goes on sale and 1 go crazy!” replied Stacie Murray, a sophomore. By Monica Linder and Mary Bass Decorating the Christmas tree for the National Honor Soci- ety ball are Kayce Reed, Amy Wright, and Julie Adams. This was the second year the NHS sponsored the “Christmas Ball.’1 Timely Trivia This was the first time that the Christmas Parade was held at night. Also, because of the new downtown ren- ovations, the old parade route was used. This route covered Washing- ton Street and Main Street. _ Holidays olidays A special time of year The class King and Queen pageant, as well as the Miss Merry Christmas pageant, was held in the first weeks of December. Rosie Bright was named the 1988-89 Miss Merry Christmas. “This pageant is most likely the best we have ever had,” remarked Student Council Adviser Lynn Stroble. She con- cluded, “We owe a big thanks to Christy Bash- nan, Misty Linder, and Monica Linder.” The NHS also spon- sored their second annual Christmas Ball. This gave the students an opportu- nity to come together one last time before school let out for the holidays. Community activities were also a part of the stu- dents’ activities. The NHS sponsored a Christmas tree for underprivileged children. “The Christmas tree is always a success but this was the best year ever,” commented Amy Wright. The FCA spon- sored a Christmas party for underprivileged chil- dren and with their trea- sury they bought the chil- dren gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Claus also made a special appearance. The Waiter- boro Junior Cotillion Club’s annual ball was held four days before Christmas. Girls from Walterboro High and John C. Calhoun Academy and their dates attended this social function. A live band provided music, and pictures were taken by Bill Bone. Along with the school and community activi- ties, students spent time with family and friends. Christmas caroling, fam- ily dinners, hay rides, and parties were just a few ways students enjoyed time off from books, teachers, homework, and hassles. By Monica Linder and Mary Bass Sophomore Counselor and National Honor Society sponsor Yvonne Lloyd places a gift for a needy child be- neath the NHS Christmas Tree. This is the third year the NHS has sponsored the Christmas Tree project. The 1988-89 Miss Merry Christmas was senior Rosie Bright. Tammy Bryd, escort- ed by Troy Spires, was the runner-up. Miss Merry Christ- mas was chosen by popular vote.

Timely Trivia This year, with the completion of the Main Street renovations, the Christmas parade was held for the first time at night. Although the ways in which the exchange students cele- brate their Christmas vary, they all came together to celebrate a special one at the home of AYUSA sponsor Ja- nice Alexander. rj.':: -.VIA' 1 J alentine’s Day 1 a Heart-felt occasion On what day were al- most 400 roses delivered to school? Valentine’s Day! On this day three and four large and flowing lists were displayed in the Commons Area. These lists contained the names of the lucky recipients of the Valentine’s tradition of roses. Swarms of girls crowded around to see who got roses and to see if they themselves received the long-stemmed beau- ties. Anne Hall, Student Council President, waited miserably for her roses to arrive. “He better not have forgotten to send them,” she replied. Roses were not the only way that sweethearts showed their affection. Teddy bears, balloons, Student Body President, Anne Hall runs the Heart Chain ' during her lunch. This was the second year the Student Council sponsored the chain.’' Timely Trivia On Valentine’s Day, approximately 300 roses were delivered to the high school. This figure did not include the double orders, triple or- ders, or even bal- loons. candy, and cards were also numerous. Hunter Hiers received a very unique balloon for Valen- tine’s Day.

These tele- grams were made by stu- dents in the computer lab. The NHS sold the tele- grams two days before Valentine’s Day for 25 cents and delivered them to the students in their first-period classes on the “big” day. The Student Council sponsored the “Heart Chain” for the sec- ond year. Cut-out hearts, which carried special Val- entine’s wishes, were bought for 25 cents and displayed on a chain of hearts in the Commons Area. The Student Store also stocked up for Valentine’s Day. Mr. Bud’s Roses, “I Love You balloons, ted- dy bears, and other Valen- tine’s Day paraphernalia were sold before home- room and during lunches. Some people were not as happy to see Valen- tine’s Day come as oth- ers. Some people took a more pessimistic view to- wards this day of sweet- hearts.

The Spring Fling was organized by the Stu- dent Council as a type of mini-Rice Festival which the city of Walterboro holds every year. The Spring Fling was held April 21 during an ex- tended pep rally sched- ule. Some of the Spring Fling activities and the sponsors of these activi- ties included a car crash,£ sponsored by the National Honor Society; a pie throwing contest, spon- sored by the freshman class; an appliance bash, sponsored by the FCA club; and a taco and re- freshments stand, spon- sored by the foreign lan- guage club. A battle of the sexes basketball game was also played during the Spring Fling. This event was sponsored by the junior class. The Student Council sponsored a dance in the gym. During this dance, seniors Kenny Bowman and Rosie Bright were crowned Mr. and Miss WHS. Organizing and setting y a date for the Spring Fling j was a problem for the Stu- dent Council.

The four- teenth annual Rice Festi- val marked the beginning of the end of yet another school year. Students participated in a variety of activities during the weekend of April 28-30. The chorus gave an excellent perfor- mance on Washington Street Friday afternoon. “It is really a nice feeling to perform for the com- munity and be appreciat- ed for the performance,” commented chorus mem- ber Catherine Alexander. Other events students participated in were the Rice Run, Band of Blue mini-ensembles, and nu- merous other events. Friday night was high- lighted by an admission- free Q107 Teen Dance featuring the Q107 Mas- ter Blaster with D.J. Brother Dave and a spec- tacular fireworks display in the parking lot of the Education Building. Al- though it was a teen dance, people of all ages participated in this event. Saturday was filled with a variety of events ranging from the annual Rice Festival parade and carnival to the karate ex- position on Washington Street. “I enjoyed being a part of the Rice Festival,” stated Will Hiott who was in the karate exposition. He continued, ”1 also en- joyed meeting people from out of town. It’s a nice change.” On Sunday, yet an- other Rice Festival came to a close. From the spec- tacular fireworks show to the exciting rides at the carnival, the Rice Festival again proved to be a diver- sion. By Mary Bass During the Q107 Teen Dance in the parking lot of the Educa- tion Building, freshman Dennis Korb wears a Q1Q7 bumper sticker while dancing. Many stu- dents sported these bumper stickers which were handed out during the dance. Instead of walking the com- plete route of the parade, Tina Groves, Debbie McCranie, and Thea Golier hitch a ride on the Q107 Master Blaster. While riding down Jefferies, Miss Walterboro High School Ro- sie Bright gracefully waves to parade spectators. Marching in place, drummers Mike Gant, Anthony Constan- tine, and Travis Mosley help set the beat for the rest of the band. This was the first year band members were allowed to wear shorts in the parade. On the crowded dance floor, Sophomores Dileatha Washing- ton and Tasheena Fishburne en- joy the music and the company of friends.

Among refreshments served in room 41B were cake, chips and dip, and punch. 1 uking the H Memories ] ast Dressed in their finest attire, sophomores and freshmen anxiously en- tered the commons area , ‘anticipating the excite- ment that their first “real” high school dance would bring. Since most under- classmen did not have the opportunity to attend the prom, the Spring Dance provided an excellent chance for these students to acquire their own spe- cial memories. Although there was some dissagreement on the theme, students com- promised five hours be- fore the dance. After mak- ing this decision, commit- tee members worked diligently transforming the commons area which featured a large pink and white heart in the center of the floor and a white gate at the entrance. Beginning at eight o’clock, a steady stream of students in search of excitement and romance poured through the doors ready to dance the night away. Although some of the over 300 attendants were slightly timid about dancing in front of every- one at first, the beat grew stronger and the number of dancers on the floor multiplied. “At first 1 was a little self-conscious about dancing, but after a while I could not stop,” noted sophomore Keisha Pinkney. “I had a great Keeping the crowd thorughly entertained, the disc jockey played mix- ture of both slow and fast beat songs.

The T-shirt dis- played the prom theme and a logo of a beach bum bull- dog. As time drew near, stu- dents worked frantically to decorate the gym for ■khe prom. Earlier in thelk week, decorations began to take form in the art room. By Wednesday, they were all moved to the gym to transform it into a scene befitting the theme “After the Prom.” Murals were painted in bright colors with fish and beach scenes to enhance the theme. An aquarium greeted students as they entered over the bridge lit by luminations, and the Bulldog mascot reclined in a beach chair. Students worked late into Thursday night to en- sure the completion of the decorations. Beach um- brellas, palm trees, sea shells, and flamingos., iwere carefully placed for- give the gym the ambi- ence of a tropical para- dise. Edisto Beach was where a number of stu- dents made a mass exo- dus after the end of the prom. An exciting addition to the prom was t-shirts. T- shirts were on sale the week before the prom and that night. The fifteen- foot t-shirt logo was proudly displayed as the backdrop for the DJ. The designer for the t-shirt Frankie Murdaugh com- mented, “I thought it was a great idea! I was flat- tered that I was asked to design the t-shirts, and it’s about time we did some- thing original.” Anne Funderburk was the Junior Class sponsor and responsible for the prom production. She was assisted by Julia Waddell, who was to as- sume the responsibility when Mrs. Funderburk left at the end of the year. “It was a lot of fun getting to know students and see- ing the overwhelming par- ticipation in the prom preparations. We have a reservoir of student talent and I like finding those hidden ones,” stated Fun- derburk.

'‘The ear- r. !y picture time and the ;; added photographers al- lowed the picture line to flow much easier this year,” stated senior Todd Crosby. Students who had early picture times were al- lowed to leave and return at a later hour, so stu- dents attended drop-ins or had a special “pre-prom” meal with their dates. Students began return- ing at 8:00 and the music began to play. Students danced the night away, taking frequent breaks to greet friends, grab refresh- ments, or to take a breath- er from the overcrowded dance floor. Several con- tests were held, some of which included the “De But” contest, the Shag contest, and the Dirty i Dancin’ contest. Special- entertainment was pro- vided by members of the chorus. Dolitha Washing- ton and Nathaniel Green sang the top 40 hit “Somewhere Out There” while on-lookers anticipat- ed the crowning of the royal court. Following the entertain- ment the royal court was announced as the follow- ing: Prince Ron Youmans; Princess Kwan Mathews; King Bernard Lane; and Queen Monica Linder. The royal court was cho- sen by the popular vote of the respective classes, the Prince and Princess from the Junior class and the King and Queen from the Senior class. After the crowning, the court took v their ceremonial first . : dance. “1 was so sur-C: prised! 1 was also very happy because I have never won anything like this before.

After the prom, it was traditional for a large percentage of the student body to make a mass exodus to the ever-popular Edisto Beach. Although festivities were not officially begun until very late Friday night, some students made the pilgrimage as soon as class let out and some even earlier. Senior English Crosby, who transferred from Ruffin tHigh, commented, “I have never seen anything like it. it's like one big party, so I skipped the prom and went straight to the The beach was where most stu- dents could be found.

Coolers filled with every- thing from food to “bever- ages,” suitcases contain- ing shorts to swim suits, toothbrushes, beach tow- els, and don’t forget the sun tan lotion, were scat- tered about houses and unloaded from trunks. “1 hope we brought enough! However, of some things you can’t get enough,” stated an enthusiastic Nina Paolantonio. By noon, students cov- ered the beach. Football games, sunbathing, ra- dios, and coolers were an infinite part of the beach scene. Students spent most of the day at the beach, but it wasn’t un- usual to see students con- gregating at the Pavilion or partying on the sun- decks of their houses — there was always some- thing to do. As night drew near, students began look- ing for a party — it wasn’t hard to find — and so un- til the wee hours students danced, joked, and just had fun. The next day brought more of the same but with more enthusiasm be- cause students knew that the night would bring the end to the weekend and that they must go home.

Ballots were sent to one homeroom from each of the respective classes. Students were asked about their favorite singing groups, snack foods, movies, soft drinks, stars, radio sta- tions, soap operas, cars, and hangouts. The an- swers given were as di- verse as the personalities of the students, but the fa- vorites were obvious. The favorite singer was Guy, but the legendary El- vis also made an appear- ance. The favorite snack food was the ever-popular Snicker bar. The favorite movie was “Lean on Me,’’ and the favorite star was Tom Cruise, who also had two movies in the top ten of the poll. The favorite soft drink was no surprise as being Coca-Cola. For the next five years the Pepsi products will be re- moved from our school, so Coke was the obvious choice. The favorite food did not come as a surprise either. Pizza was the over- whelming favorite, with- out even a close second. The race for the favorite radio station was close, but in the end Q107 edged out 101.7 and D93. The favorite “Soap” was As the World Turns, and even the boys agreed on this choice. The favorite hangout was the famed Jefferies Boulevard, with Burger King falling only five votes behind. The fa- vorite car was the Porsche with the BMW close behind. Students were also asked if they had political preferences and 54% were Republi- cans. These answers reflect- ed the opinions of the 150 students polled. This may not have been the opinion of all students, but it did represent the overall opin- ion of what’s HOT and what’s NOT.

It was a foot race to get there before the people who had the lockers below and above theirs. Students usually found it difficult to make quick visits to their lock- ers because of the conges- tion caused by the hall traffic and other students using lockers. “Some peo- ple can be extremely in- considerate when it comes to lockers,” stated freshman Ruth Ann Net- tles. “They don’t care how long it takes you to get to class, as long as they aren’t inconven- ienced in any way.” This was the everyday rush that all students were familiar with. Weav- ing in and out of obstacles without stopping, stu- dents made the most of those precious five min- utes. Many were known to hurdle anything from piles of books to other stu- dents. Students rushed down the halls to see friends (or that special someone) in a designated meeting place. They shared the latest news or updated an old piece of gossip. “Chang- ing classes is one of the best parts of my day be- cause I get to talk to friends who aren’t in my classes,” stated senior Curtis Robinson. “It’s real- ly nice to see your friends after a hard class.” When all the news had been shared with friends, students had two options: they could either make a mad dash for the res- troom and pray that it was not too busy, or go to class and finish the last two homework questions that were too hard to tack- le at 11:30 the night be- fore.

Leaders of the Future From Walk America to the Miss Merry Christmas pageant, the Student Council was active in and sponsored many fund- raisers as well as several exciting events. The goal of the Student Council was not only to raise funds for activities taking place throughout the year but also to unify the stu- dent body. Several fun- draisers were held during the course of the year by the Student Council. Among these events were in-school dances and the Valentine’s Day Heart Chain.

A number of events and activities were spon- sored by the Student Council to encourage stu- dent involvement in school-wide activities, A Miss Merry Christmas and Class King and Queen Pageant was held in December and a Spring Fling was planned for warmer weather along with a Mr. and Mrs. WHS Pageant. The senior class was responsible for Spirit Week, the senior day and reception, and finalizing graduation plans. Prob- ably the best known of these “separate” activi- ties was the Jr. Sr. Prom which is held annually by the junior class. The soph- omore and freshmen classes co-sponsored the Spring Dance. Although the Student Council was responsible for many fund raisers and events, these were not its main purposes. The main objective of the Council was to intercede in policy disagreements between the student body and the administration. Three is- sues dominated discus- sion: tardies, graduation, and lunch trays.

The faculty began their men- tal assault on the seniors early in the week with a verbal assault over the in- tercom. The seniors were, however, undaunted by the trivial threats of em- barrassment from the fac- ulty and continued to practice for the big game. On the new announce- ment board donated by the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes was posted the announcement: “Sen- ior MEN vs. Faculty BOYS.” President Troy Spires and Vice-President Monica Linder began the seniors’ intimidation of the faculty. Troy predict- ed, “There is no way we are going to let those old men beat us.” On the day of the game, both teams were nervous. The faculty expected to extend its winning streak, which had lasted for five years, but the seniors had other plans.

During practice, antici- pation started to build for the following day. “As soon as 1 started march- ing into the gym, I began to wonder what the realplpp thing was going to be like.

Although many com- mented that it was finally over, in reality “it” had just begun on June 1 for the class of 1989. As the seniors began that final march, they became pain- fully aware that this pro- cessional was the begin- ning of that giant step into the future. For the first time, sen- iors were restricted to the number of guests that they were allowed to in- vite because of the limited space in the gym. Despite protests, only six tickets were issued to each sen- ior. Other guests were in- -f-i; vited to watch the gradu- ' ation ceremonies on closed circuit television in the commons area. Be- cause of this new policy seniors marched from the math and social study halls, through the com- mons area, down the vo- cational hall and into the gym- As loved ones watched, the graduates marched with heads held high and with teary eyes to “Pomp and Circumstance.” It was a moment in time which was the culmina- tion of twelve years of preparation, dedication, and determination.

Among these activities were clubs. Many students be- longed to at least one of the many clubs sponsored by faculty. Clubs gave students a way to pass time and a chance to get involved in activities which interested them. Unfortunately, clubs were only allotted a half an hour about once a month during school to meet. Some clubs held meetings before or after school, but this often posed a transportation problem for some students, while others could not attend these meetings because of after-school employment. Despite the small amount of time allotted for meetings, the clubs still managed to accomplish their goals and to provide students time to enjoy their favorite pastimes. The largest club, the Just Say No Club, had so many members that almost the entire club period was taken up by the roll call. To solve this problem and to make the most of their time, the mem- bers elected homeroom representatives and class representatives. With the representatives attending the meetings, the club was able to accomplish their business agenda. Other organizations such as the Future Teacher of America and the Spirit Club had to hold additional meetings in order to accom- plish their business. The National Honor Society did not meet during the regular club schedule, but instead met monthly during school. Of course, the members of these organizations put in many hours of hard work both during school and after to sponsor events such as the FTA’s Easter Egg Hunt and NHS’s Christmas Ball and Car Crash.

The club was orga- nized to give students who have achieved athletic excellence an opportunity to “stand together and support one another,” stated Mr. Adams. The Block W” planned to have concession stands at basketball games to help defray the costs of athletic awards and letter jackets. The club consisted of 15 to 20 members. Coach Adams commented, “There was a little bit of something for everyone.” The Block “W” Club had athlete stu- dents who had graduated and were pursuing careers in the busi- ness field to speak to the members. The FCA and Block “W” merged because few members were in the Block “W”. Joining the two clubs helped form a bigger and better club for athletes. The FCA, spon- sored by Coach Robert Driggers, gave students who were Christian athletes the opportunity to help needy children in the community. The FCA club gave a party for the children whose names were pro- vided by the Department of Social Services. The FCA club provided children who were not as fortu- nate as othes with two gifts each. Members of the FCA club also planned to attend the District Ral- ly at the Citadel beach house. The rally gave members the opportu- nity to meet other students from other schools. Club member Teddy Mabry commented, “Being in the FCA helps make a better person of yourself and helps you deal with many problems that are encoun- tered in life.” The Spirit Club, sponsored by Miss Sandy Stearns, gave stu- dents the opportunity to work to- gethr as a team. Fundraisers were often used to help buy the neces- sary supplies needed for different projects during the school year. The Spirit Club always had a good turnout of students who were will- ing to show their school spirit. The Spirit Club was one of the largest clubs at WHS, with students offer- ing to stay after school to make posters for the upcoming game on Friday. The Spirit Club also spon- sored “The Wave” for students to show their school spirit at pep ral- lies.

Students learned how to present themselves to others and how to dress appropriately for whatever the occasion. The Modeling Club presented a fashion show March 21 for members to become famil- iar with the fashion world as a model. The students learned about grooming, poise, and color coordi- nation. Members atttended semi- nars and provided community ser- vices. The Computer Club attended the problem-solving contest at Dis- covery Place for the past several years. The club was first orga- nized by Mr. Douglas Bullock and later sponsored by Ms. Jane Guerry. Members have also at- tended problem-solving contests at Clemson and in Charlotte. The Drama Club, sponsored by Mr. Edward Carter and Mrs. Vera Bodison, presented two plays for the school and community and at- V Careers tended out-of-town productions this year. In the past the club has hosted community projects for the elementary schools and hoped to coordinate visitation to other schools. Mrs. Vera Bodison com- mented, “Students hopefully have developed a stronger sense of the dramatic skills that are needed for a successful product ’ Members of the Drama Club are hoping to benefit from this club for training in various aspects of play produc- tion. The Garden Club, sponsored by Mrs. Margaret Barnes, has been a tradition at WHS for 14 years. Among their various contribu- tions, the club donated a bench for senior citizens. Mrs. Barnes orga- nized the club under the sponsor- ship of the Student Council when she was the advisor and director of student activities. Mrs. Barnes commented, “Gardening is the leading American hobby.

The Philosophy Club planned to host many speak- ers throughout the school year in- cluding such noted people as Cir- cuit Court Judge Bill Howell and Law Enforcement Officer James Darby. Mrs. Blocker remarked that the “group is usually very in- terested and excited about the to- pics discussed.” Originally from England, club member William Woods felt, “The Philosophy Club has enables me to think more BRINGING THE PUBLIC TO AWARENESS Participating in “The Ghost Out,” spon- sored by the “Just Say No” Club, Donna Chapman and Lisa Smith attempt to make the student body aware of the dangers of dirnking and driving. about certain issues and form my own opinions.” First organized by special edu- cation teacher Cyndi Sarvis, the TNT Club, now sponsored by Ms. K.M. Ganaway, offered students the chance to share problems and discuss important issues with oth- er interested teenagers. The club planned to go to the elementary schools and discuss dangers of al- cohol or drug abuse. Club member Johnny Jenkins stated, “My main intention is to help someone in some small way. If I can do that, it will be worth it.” Co-sponsored by Willie Davis and Rusty Adams, the “Just Say No” Club began with an early start. The “Just Say No” Club was responsible for exposing many of the dangers of drug abuse to the student body. The club took a new turn regarding its organization. Because the club consisted of over 500 members, club members felt that a small group should be cho- sen to make club decisions and de- sign activities for the entire mem- bership of the club.

' The Future Farmers of America was organized for students to ac- quire leadership skills for the fu- ture. The FFA club has been spon- sored by Mr. William Wrighten for twenty-one years, but was first organized in 1928 by Mr. Sy Pad- gett. FFA also celebrated the Na- tional FFA Week Celebration dur- ing the week of George Washing- ton’s Birthday. The FFA members participated in district and state level contests and activities camp state conventions. The DECA Club has been spon- sored by Arlis Jarvis for twenty- three years. The club first origi- nated in 1952 and was sponsored by Ellison Cone. At Christmas the DECA Club drew names from the nursing home and children’s names from the Department of So- cial Services to present them with gifts. The club often sold different items if money was needed to go to conventions or long-distant meet- ings. Mr. Jarvis commented, “The DECAClub is designed for stu- dents to have a better view of what the real world is going to be DECISIONS FOR THE FUTURE Mrs. Bright, advisor of the FBLA Club, asks for suggestions for future plans from club members. like.” The DECA Club also planned a trip to Carowinds. FBLA was first chartered sever- al years ago and later was spon- sored by Mrs. Ester Bright. The FBLA visited the nursing home and participated in the “Adopt-a- Grandparent” Program. The FBLA planned district and state competitions, and a Teacher Ap- preciation lunch. Mrs. Carolyn Lewis has spon- sored Future Homemakers of America for twelve years. The FHA was involved in community projects with the elderly. The FHA Club is a national organization with state affiliation. The stu- dents hoped to attend the state convention. The FHA also partici- pated in the “Adopt-a-Grandpar- ent” Program.

The Art Club, sponsored by Mrs. Julia Waddell, offered students the opportunity to express them- selves through more challenging artistic probes. Though Mrs. Wad- dell had only sponsored this club for one year, she said, “Many of the members of the Art Club are very interested in expanding their artistic ability. To have the opportunity to learn of other cultures while improving their language skills in French and Spanish, many students chose to join the Foreign Language Club, sponsored by Spanish teacher Edith Frasier. During the club per- iods students were exposed to games, filmstrips, musical selec- tions, and dialogues in other lan- guages. By Eddie Wilson CLUBS IN ACTION ACADEMIC TEAM: First Row: J.

These projects were designed to give needy families in the community food at Thanksgiving and toys at Christmas. The NHS also spon- sored the Christmas Ball. This event was open to the entire stu- dent body Sponsor Sallie Ste- phens commented, “This year was an excellent one; however, I would like to see student leadership in- crease.” The Future Teachers of America Club celebrated its fiftieth anni- versary. Having been founded in Walterboro by Mrs. Ruth Dorrell Thomas, the FTA provided a brief program to the faculty to com- memorate the tradition of the WHS chapter. The FTA also as- sisted the Classroom on Wheels with the annual Easter egg hunt. “I MAKING THE GRADE Lighting the candle of knowledge, Ni- chole Nettles was one of the many sophomores inducted into the Nation- al Honor Society, feel we had a productive year and much was accomplished,” ex- pressed Mrs. Hughes, FTA advi- sor.

According to captain Mi- chael Porterieko, “Being on the A- Team is not only challenging but it also gives team members an op- portunity to learn how to work to- gether for the common good of the team.” The History Club, spon- sored by Ruth Allgood, conducted historical presentations during the club periods. According to Mrs. Allgood, “The club activities give students a more practical view of history.” Though the club did not visit Williamsburg, as they had hoped, they did conduct fun- draisers to help defray the costs of the trip.

LAUGHING IT UP Enjoying a time of fun and laughter with a Classroom on Wheels student, FTA mem- ber Kristen Gwin grins with delight. Clubs 65 riendships were soon rekindled as members of the Class of ’89 recalled memories of the fun they had had in high school. Soon members of the Class of ’90, the Class of ’91, and the Class of ’92 filtered in to share in the memo- ries of the ’88-’89 school year. Everyone realized that it was school that had brought them all together in the first place. Academics played a major role in each student’s life. Some students discussed the most pleasant memories of their classes. Western Civilization students and Art Club members thought of their field trip to the Rameses Exhibit in Charlotte, NC, while psychology students noted their field trip to the Coastal Center in Ladson. Those who took government recalled getting involved in local politics, being “schooly,” and going to court. Others reminisced about those things that made classes fun and took the monotony out of the day. Of course, school was not always enjoyable. Most students re- called unpleasant memories as well. Some students remembered the new tardy policy which gave students one free tardy per week. More than one tardy per week resulted in either after-school or lunch detention. Many English students remembered the long hours spent in the school library or the Colleton County Memorial Library doing research for term papers. Inevitably, term papers were due late in the year just when “spring fever” hit hardest. Almost everyone thought of those days they had 3 or 4 big tests and how hard it was to cram all that information in during a one- night study session. Certainly, people recalled most clearly the memories of their favorite classes, yet somehow even their least favorite classes held fond memories. Students had tried to make the most of their time at school. 66 Academics Chemistry students Andy Kubik and Peter Lommen mix borax and poly vinyl alcohol to make a light blue slime during the chemistry magic show held in the mini-auditorium in De- cember for science stu- dents. The magic show provided a break from the intensity of the day. Divider The Big Chill Procrastination. Does the word “guilty” jump out in big red letters? It should when in fact 70 percent of the stu- dents have committed this act at least once, twice, or more. It has become a typi- cal characteristic of most students. Defined as “the ability to let homework, book reports and essays creep up on the unsuspecting student at any time,” procrastina- tion usually hit the day be- fore the work was due. Stu- dents remedied this problem by resorting to trusty Cliff’s Notes or renting a movie, but not always could a student depend on these sources. When put under stress, stu- dents actauily seemed to Checking out a book at the last min- ute, John Neuroth takes a serious approach to getting his book report done.

W W M The silent killer of students wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, work harder in one day than they had in two months. Some people found that meeting deadlines was a has- sle and served as an ever present reminder of school. “The biggest time I procras- tinate is around big tests, es- pecially those ones the teacher schedules a week ahead of time,” complained senior Billy MacCumbee. Whenever a student was faced with this pressure, he sometimes fell into the habit of postponing study time or schoolwork. As a result the library welcomed the throng of students that came through its doors every morning. While some stu- dents’ lives revolved around this track, others felt relief in being prepared for their classes. Junior Leslie Wil- liams found it helpful to be prepared and organized in class, but like so many, found quiet time away from the pressures of school by “tun- ing out everything.” If studying for exams hit an all time low, it was credite: to a “Big P.” Though mos: students held their breatr until exams ended, it was nc' uncommon for students t: put in over an hour’s wortra of cramming. Whether the student put off studying t: do “their thing” or because of an extreme case of laz- ness, there was no way t: avoid the syndrome of the examination blues. By Rachel A.

I —e contrary, some stu- tters 3bjected to the pro- ri- i-d felt that its require- meres were rather untimely. 3« -. he felt that summer ■■ c-r was not for reading, Arnie Farmer said, ------er reading often in- terfered with students’ ac- tivities and was often put off so late that it had to be done hurriedly and did no good. Identifying with Arnie was sophomore Roger Shepard, “I had to go to summer school and do six book re- ports. I’m not even thinking about reading anything else.” Just wanting to enjoy a good book, freshman David Jarvis felt that summer read- ing must have been strictly for entertainment “since it didn’t seem that reading the books helped me get good grades on the tests.” However, freshman Haflie Gregory, as well as others, believed that the summer reading program was “good in principle” but sometimes failed to yield its intended benefits in practice. Al- though students recognized shortcomings in the pro- gram, they also expressed their views of summer read- ing as an enriching and legiti- mate requirement. Fresh- man Melody Lyons felt that the program should have been applauded because the restricted selection gave stu- dents a chance to read books that they probably would never have read: “It allows us to read classics and other books that we would otherwise regard as too long or too hard to read.” Other students liked the program since they did not have to worry about doing any other school work and could read at a much slower pace. In ad- dition, many received sum- mer reading well because they did not feel that the education process should be put on hold just because school was out. More appro- priately, they felt that sum- mer reading was really “on time.” By J. Dowdy Reading a good book is one way to spend the free hours on the week- end. Harvey Shear checks out one from the school library. Unable to resist anything that catches her eye, freshman Eliza- beth Miller goes book hunting as though she were shopping.

With a very ; ght schedule himself, junior Michael Cook stated, As a □ and member with long -;jrs of practice, it make it 3rd to have enough time to study; nevertheless, I always managed to cram in a few minutes for each test. Ex- pected to study for as many as three tests at a time, some students found that there were not enough hours in rhe day to prepare proper- ly for such tests. “There have been many nights when I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. studying for major English tests, commented junior Amy Wright. After hours of styding, stu- dents had to take a break. Some enjoyed the popular activities of listening to Mi- chael D on Q107, watching The Cosby Show, talking on the telephone, or going to a party to escape the hassle of studying. Freshman Stephanie McCarter stated, After studying, I enjoyed a few minutes to just catch up on the gossip with my friends on the telephone. When there were not enough hours to accommo- date studies at night, the commons area and the li- brary provided students with the space to cram in a few extra minutes of studying be- fore first-period classes be- gan. “I always found the time in the commons area to fin- ish my homework helpful, noted senior Okiesha Ellison.

Field Trips Speakers 75 Putting Talent to Work English teachers Virginia vonLehe, Janis Blocker, and Laverne Crawford let their students take the stage with the annual oral presenta- tions. Students joined forces to create projects that were graded and judged by their peers on the originality and creativity of the group’s per- formance. Junior Jeff Hughes and Seth Huckabee broadened their horizons of the literary world with a computer-animated presen- tation on Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT. They came away with Most Original and Best Production. Seniors Will Hiott, Kim Hare, and Becky Robertson performed their modern version of Margaret Mitchell's GONE WITH THE WIND.

When asked how he felt about his project, Will Hiott commented, “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. While some classes found class projects to be too demanding and time- consuming, others had sev- eral in-class projects on a regular basis. Chemistry classes worked on lab experi- ments while biology students could always be found per- forming dissections on cats and rabbits. School projects often ven- tured outside the classroom. American Government and foreign language teachers found ways to get the stu- dents’ interest aroused.

Teaoher Cadet, Speech, and Spanish III Classes 'mmmmmMvmmmmw Mmmmmm, 'o add spice to the same routine schedule, many stu- rents decided to take some :f the new classes offered. Students who expected to zursue a career in education took Teacher Cadet. Stu- zents learned how to be ef- ■eetive teachers by observ- r% teachers and administra- •ors at elementary and — ddle school levels. Senior lelanie Colson noted, “Be- sg a teacher involves much lore than teaching from a rook- Patience, creativity, a desire to teach are also 'ecessary.” Senior Emily 5- ivan commented, “This : ass was different from nor- -'al classes. It was more fun —an sitting in a classroom m h a teacher lecturing. Stu- :enrts got more involved in -e teacher’s work and learned from first-hand ex- perience.” The goal of the speech class, as teacher Mark Bow- ers stated, was “to enrich communication skills and gain a knowledge of correct public speaking.” The twen- ty-two students learned the different techniques of speech, discussed world is- sues and talked about their own experiences. “Speech was certainly a very interest- ing course. Mr. Bowers knew how to make the class even more unusual. For example, he demonstrated breathing exercises by lying down on his back with a book on his stomach.” Senior Darren Christianson added, “This class not only improved my speech but also my personal- ity and helped me to re- evaluate ideas.” William MacCumbee commented, “Correct English influences people more than slang or street talk.” Basically, stu- dents lost the fear of speak- ing in public, and learned how to communicate more effectively. Ms. Edith Frasier’s Span- ish III class had a different format from Spanish I and II. The students refined their skills in speaking the lan- guage and discussed the Spanish culture and cus- toms. As Spanish is becom- ing such an important lan- guage in America, Senior Christy Bashnan felt that two years of a foreign language was not enough. “I want to be able to communicate with native speakers, but two years of a language doesn’t give enough background.” By Beatrice Gurita Exploring the world of their Span- ish III class, Angie Elliot, Tammy Byrd, and foreign exchange student Christina Fernandez point out the different regions of Spain. Senior Melanie Colson enjoys the special benefits of Teacher Cadet as she lends a helping hand to the children with the Ball Toss at the Colleton Elementary Halloween Carnival. Melanie is also the color guard captain for the Band of the Blue. New Classes Instilling A Trade W M School With A Purpose As school got harder, so did the requirements for aca- demic standards, many stu- dents found themselves climbing the same stairs year-after-year wanting a change. Those students real- ized the benefits of taking a vocational class. Such courses offered at WHS are Foods and Nutri- tion. Clothing and Textiles, and Forestry. These classes prepared a student for taking courses at the Colleton Area Vocational school. If one took Foods and Nutrition, he was taught the basics for food nutrition. This was es- pecially helpful to students wanting to attend the voca- tional school for Food Ser- vice which supplemented this class. Sophomore Lecia Cochran expressed her feel- Floyd Webster exemplifies the mod- el drafting student as he strives for perfection in Wayne Kubik’s class. ings openly, “Even though I may not go directly into food service, cooking does come in handy.” In Clothing and Textiles, students could learn about homemaking. Another popu- lar class to take was Forestry taught by Jerry Gowdy. This class gave students the chance to perform services for the community and learn more about the science of cultivating the soil and pro- ducing crops. When it came time for the student to use these skills, he could apply them efficiently and confi- Being in vocational classes does have its advantages, especially when senior Erica Jenkins and ju- niors Amelia Campbell, Joseph Pickney and Beverly Brown get to taste the finished product — Shrimp Surprise. dently. Students interested in the business world often felt it important to have courses like business, com- puter, and typing classes. General Business, taught by Mrs. Ester Bright, in- creased a student’s knowl- edge of the growing industry of business. It gave the stu- dent an overview of inter- locking communication that makes a business. While computer class, taught by Mrs. Jane Guerry, offered the student a serious approach to understanding the programming and oper- -------------------------- ations of a computer. The Computer Science classes were blessed with twenty- five new IBM Compatibles that replaced the old Apple II computers. Typing class was geared for students wanting to per- fect speed and skill. Typing I was a full-year course taught on a business level. Senior Johnny Bell asserted, “It has become a necessity to have a skill like typing for the world we live in today.” In the end, whether a stu- dent used these courses as stepping stones for the voca- tional school, or just to fill a schedule, the student gained potential skills that helped him to decide what roads to take.

Editor-in-Chief Chrissy Greene stated, “’We certain- ly share a lot of memories — we’d have to, because we spent so much time together working on the yearbook and newspaper. After hours of hard work and strenuous effort, a little fun and relaxation was just what the doctor ordered. The latest favorite pastime of most of the staff, aside from the routine birthday parties, was the weekly view- ing of CBS’s new series called TV 101. The show was about journalism students who televise a news broad- cast instead of the publica- tion of a school newspaper. Staffer Latoshia Wiggins comments, “TV 101 is an ex- citing show that deals with the reality of teenage pres- sures. It also helps our jour- nalism staff broaden our views on journalism. Aside from fun in the class- room, the staff enjoyed some fun in the sun at a weekend workshop at Edisto Beach over the summer.

Then I be- came more comfortable and confident as the seniors and the other upperclassmen en- couraged me and told me that it was all right to make mistakes as long as I tried to do better the next time.” The spirit of the band was one which could not be broken. Although the band members were sometimes denied well-deserved titles, they suffered no loss as long as they knew that they had done their best. Because she felt that whoever won the trophy is but a matter of technicalities, junior Sonta Smalls said, “Whenever we have contests, we try to give it our all. As long as the par- ents and our director and his assistants could see that we did our best, we are winners and the judges comments do not really matter.” Of course, everyone real- ized that championship bas- ketball teams and world- class cheerleading squads did not thrive on spirit alone. The same was true of Big Blue. Although hard work and determination were what pulled the winning per- formances together, it was the band spirit and unity that kept the dream of winning alive.

Per- forming Chorus member Le- roy Cook praised his instruc- tor by saying, “In spite of Mrs. Drawdy's absence, she was able to pull through with all the upcoming spring events.” The yearly Spring Concert featured many pop- ular and sacred musical se- lections. Among the songs performed were Bach’s “When Thou Art There” and favored pop tunes such as “A Groovy Kind of Love,” “Ko- komo,” and “I Still Believe.” Mrs. Drawdy was pleased with the determination and skill the chorus members maintained during concert season. Always looking for new talent, she commented, “The biggest asset any member should have is a deep feeling for music. Just because a student may not have the highest grade level, the hard work and achieve- ment put forth always shine on stage.” Although some people thought of chorus as just an extra-curricular course, dedicated individuals partici- pated and gained recogni- tion for the many communi- ty and school activities. The many hours a committed chorus member spent prac- ticing were evident on stage. Perfection was the goal. Practice was the key. Not only did the school recognize these talented individuals, but friends and family throughout the community supported them as well. By Rachel Miller Dedication and commitment are a must for chorus teacher Stephanie Drawdy. She is also an accom- plished singer and pianist. United as one, the WHS Singers per- form their hearts out at the Christ- mas Chorus Concert at the Hamp- ton Street Auditorium. Chorus roups of former high school athletes began to get togeth- er to talk about those great victories and bittersweet loses. For many, sports had been an important part of their high school years. They had devoted much of their free time to practices and games. The conversation among these groups seemed to re- volve around how much they had enjoyed the time they spent trying to work as a team. Football players remi- nisced about the rebuilding season they had but also remembered the highlights of the season — wins over Beaufort and Middleton and their participation in the filming of a movie in the Stratford game. The volleyball players also remem- bered their disappointing season, yet they had enjoyed playing the sport and being with their friends. The basketball players, too, recalled the unity the teams had. For the varsity girls’ team, this unity took them all the way to the conference championship. No WHS girls’ team had reached this level in over twenty years. The soccer team gathered in one corner to recall how much they had enjoyed playing despite the strenuous schedules they endured. Former baseball and softball team members remembered late night games under the lights, sometimes returning to even later nights spent studying for tests for the next day. Track team members discussed a particular meet in which they felt they had pushed themselves to a physical peak, while tennis players recounted spending hours of practice with team members during the week and with other friends on the weekends in order to improve their skills. Golf team members recalled the hours of practice spent at the golf course, often into the early hours of dusk. All of the athletes seemed to remember the times they spent with their friends at practices and games. On the sideline juniors Jeremy Ware and Jason Dandridge and sopho- more Thomas Pinckney listen intently to Coach Robert Driggers as he suggests a new offensive strategy. New athletic director Coach Leroy Riley dons a T-shirt sporting a hopeful message for an- other victory as he stands outside the weight room. Divider 89 qf!i eam unity was a point of strong emphasis for the Bull- dogs the past season. It provea to be a very important asset in a long year filled with countless injuries and numerous setbacks. The team managed, however, to stick together in the face of these adversities and fin- ished the season strong, although it did not reflect on the scoreboard. Coach Leroy Riley says, Team unity is very im- portant when going through a tough season. Although our record was noth- ing to brag about, I'm proud of the way the players represented themselves, the school, and the community. They gave their best effort as a team and were win- ners in every sense of the word. According to Coach Riley, the Berke- ley game was the crucial turning point of the season for the team. After this game, the players seemed to play much harder and showed much more togeth- erness. Team spirit began to improve steadily and peaked during the final two games of the season, resulting in one badly needed victory against Middleton and a hard-fought game against Su- memrville, two of the top teams in the conference. How did the players feel about team unity? Junior Jeremy Ware stated, The team unity was very admirable seeing as how we stuck together throughout a disappointing season. Senior Kenny Bowman best described the team's uni- ty saying, The team was more like a family this year and, despite what the record shows, went down fighting.

Ware was one of the team's lead- ing and more sure- handed receivers. ff m enior leadership was also an important asset to the team over the past aseason, espe- cialiy since thirty-five of the fifty-one players had never participated in varsity football before. The players were asked to vote upon two players to serve as team captains, the leaders of the team. Seniors Troy Spires and Miguel Koger were selected. Spires was surprised by his selection but honored that my teammates thought enough of me to elect me co-captain. Koger said, It made me feel really good to know that my peers felt that I was responsible enough to lead them. It proved to be a very tough year in which to be great team leaders, but the senior players met the challenge and provided the leader- ship needed to keep the team's spirit alive throughout the season. Overall, the opinion was that the sen- ior leadership was there for the majority of the season. The seniors rose to the occasion and gave good leadership dur- ing times not easy to lead, according to Coach Riley. Junior Jeff Hickman thought the leadership was strong most of the time, but the team seemed to lack enthisuasm at times. Junior Wes Maxey summed up the seniors' leader- ship saying, It was there when really needed. By Jason Dandridge BOTTOM ROW: H. Hiers, E. Stevens, D. Stevens, J. McLain, C. Stanfield, A. Bryon, M.

Such leaders as LaB- lane Winfield, quarterback; Gionni Gar- rett, slotback; Aaron Bryon, defensive end; and Don Jones, defensive tackle greatly contributed to the team's suc- cess. The Bullpups opened the season with a thrilling come-from-behind victo- ry over Wando. Next the team beat Hil- ton Head convincingly. After Beaufort was unable to play, the Bullpups faced Ruffin and won 14-0. According to Coach Polk, We played like a team. Our 'Blue Crew,' the second string play- ers, performed adequately, leaving me with high hopes for next season. The team then suffered a last second loss to James Island, which was later reversed by a forfeit. The Bullpups then had a rematch with Wando that turned into a defensive game in which Wando pre- vailed. After close losses to Berkeley and Stratford, the team rebounded by whipping Goose Creek and Middleton. They closed the season with a loss to arch-rival Sumerville. Along with the Bullpups, traveled the J.V. cheerleaders. The cheerleaders provided moral support for players at the sparsely attended J.V. games.

Season in and season out the volleyball team amazed its audience and made the students at WHS proud with its enthusiasm and improvement. Despite the season's record, the volley- ball team showed tremendous improve- ment in the last few matches. Coach Layton commented, I thought they had a lot of potential, and I think they showed a great deal of improvement ' The volleyball team had only five re- turning senior players: Leah Bell, Angel Painter, Cheryl Givens, Terri Siders, and Leatha Evans. They did what they could on the court, but as the team was losing, its spirit suffered. Since the team con- sisted mostly of sophomores, the squad had young but fresh experience. Coach Cathy Layton boasted, I'm losing some of the best players, but the ones coming up are good. The players put in hard practice time, resulting in competitive matches. Angel Painter concluded, It gave me a chance to compete as well as to make lots of new friends. Tanika Bonaparte, serving as team captain, chosen by her teammates for her experience, felt proud to be a lead- ing force and inspiration to her team- mates.

In pre-season, Coach Marsha Coe said more than anything she wanted the team to finish with a win- ning record. “This was an expectation. The team knew they could do it,” said Coach Coe, They did — and then some. The team posted a 143 overall record and a 9-4 con- ference record. This record placed the girls as a top seed in the conference tournament. The girls beat some of the lower seeded teams, including Stratford, and were finally placed against the second-seeded team; Wando. The Lady Bulldogs upset the War- riors, In other action in the tournament the Lady Greenwaves, the number one team, were upset by Berkeley. Thus the Bulldogs were pitted against the Stags for the confer- ence title. The Lady Bulldogs beat the Lady Stags and won the conference. “This was only a dream; we knew we had the talent, but actually doing it was a different story,” stated Coach Coe. This win assured the girls a bid to the State Playoffs. Unfortu- nately, the girls lost in the first round to Conway. Coach Coe stated, “No one girl was the best on the team. Signaling one out would be impossible.” She also said, “Dif- ferent girls provided the necessary intensi- ty at different times. It was totally a team effort.” Leading the team in scoring was Michelle Minton. Minton averaged 15 points a game and had an overall high of 27 points. Leatha Evens was the top rebounder with an aver- age of 14 per game. This average placed Evens as a top rebounder in the conference. Lounell Sweat was also an outstanding re- bounder for the Dogs. All three young wom- en were selected to the second team All- Region. With an outstanding season and young players such as Stacy Nesmith, who led the team in points, steals, and rebounding, the team expects equal success next year. Coach Coe has very high hopes for next season.

Although both teams got off to slow starts, they jelled when the conference games got underway, according to both coaches. Coach Coe commented, I enjoyed coaching this group of girls because of their enthusiasm and desire to learn the fundamentals of the game.

We also played more with the offense in mind ' Hughes has played on the team for four years. Often not rec- ognized were the people in the middle — the halfbacks. Their job was the most important on the field. The halfbacks had to play both offense and defense. Comprising the middle were Seaborn Rogers, Craig Duffie, Peter Lommen, and Mads Seirsen. This was Coach Loper's first season as coach of the Mad Dogs. With the young returning players he hopes that next season will be even more success- ful. Loper commented, It's tough to have a winning season in this confer- ence. Other programs such as Wando and Middleton have spring clubs in which they play all year round.

Since the soccer program began at W.H.S., no team had achieved a winning season and no other soccer team respected the Bulldogs. However, all of this changed. Although the team did not win a confer- ence title or even go to the playoffs, it did gain respect. The respect might not have been from all the other teams, but the team did gain self-respect. Craig Duffie stated, Soccer is a mental game. It involves psyching yourself and the other team. If you let them win the mental battle, then the physical play is hampered. The team learned that it could play soccer by comprising a 10-5- 2 record — the best in school history. The Mad Dogs, a nickname given by Coach Loper as an incentive, were led on offense by Soren Jennsen, Seth Huckabee, Tommy Duffie, and Palle Jo- hanessen. Jennsen was a top scorer in the State. He was also a leading scorer STRETCHING OUT after the ball is Tommy Duffie. Duffie was well respected for his out- standing speed.

Both teams consisted of young players, many of whom will be the nucleus of future teams. The tennis team will only be losing foreign ex- change students Katrin Nurenburger and Beatrice Gurita, while the golf team will miss only the experience of senior Darren Christianson. The teams of next year will be made mostly of exper- ienced players and therefore will do much better ' said tennis Coach Cathy Layton. The tennis team ended its season with a 1-9 record. The team's overall abili- ties improved greatly this year, re- marked Coach Layton. Continued progress is expected next year. Re- turning players include Allyson Bridge, Hallie Gregory, Vincent Smalls, Scott Catterton, Scott Stone, Jay Unger, and DeAngelo Williams. Eighth grader Jamie Kaye was ineligible to play this year but will return to the team next year. Coach Layton is anticipating a good season next year with the return of these exper- ienced players. The golf team had similar exper- iences. Being young and inexperienced proved to be a hardship. However, the members showed great progress throughout the course of the year. With only three returning players, the team got off to a slow start. But the players gained a lot of much-needed exper- ience. Coach Doug Bullock comment- ed, The eight returning players should be a big advantage for next year's team.

In track competi- tion there were different types of run- ning and many athletes who competed in the 100 meter dash, the 200 meter dash, the 400 meter dash, and the mile. The different athletes were conditioned and trained differently for these events. It took many dedicated students and determined coaches to have a success- ful track program. Unfortunately, Wal- terboro only had two track coaches — one for the girls and one for the boys. Fortunately, both Coach Sonya Sims and Coach Al Reitman filled their posi- tions with dedication of a whole coach- ing staff. Both coaches not only trained athletes to run in different races, but they also trained the discus throwers, high jumpers, and pole vaulters. This took a lot of hard work from both the coaches and participants. Coincidentally, the boys' and girls' track and cross country teams finished 4th in the conference. With leadership from only four seniors, one might have expected the boys' team to have little leadership to go around. This was not the case, however. The younger team members were the ones who took their responsibility seriously and performed very well. Sophomore James Walker made it all the way to the state meet to finish 7th in the 100-meter dash. Shawn Weens, a freshman, was also one of the top performers for the team.

Running Sports - (Continued from 108) Those young athletes along with other younger students and seniors like Ken- ny Bowman were the driving force be- hind the track team's success season. The girls7 team was a little different. Al- though they had more seniors, they also had a strong nucleus for future seasons. This was especially the case with fresh- man Tamela Copeland. This young run- ner came only one-tenth of a second from breaking the state record in the 100-meter dash, even with an injured knee. The cross-country team was forced to rely on the determination of twelve underclassmen and the exper- ience of two seniors. Next season will be a little different for returning track members. The school is building a new track facility next to the high school. For the first time in school history the track teams will hold a home meet. With the addition of the new facility it is hoped that new in- terest will be generated in the track pro- gram.

Marlon Cobbs commented, Last year was a very frus- trating season for us. We had a lot of talent, but no one really worked up to his capability.” The team started out the season very strong. They won four out of their first five games. This was one of the best starts the baseball team ever had. The team could not have had such a record without the following outstanding par- ticipants: Lion's Club MVP and batting champ, Jamie Iriel; Most Improved, Jody McLaine; and Golden Glove, Archie Sims.

They did not have a captain or a co-captain. The captain was any- one who could show leadership and abilities on and off the field. The team had many different captains through- out the year. It was as if each person had a chance to be captain. The baseball team finished 14-4 in the regular season and made it to the play- offs. Marlon Cobbs remarked, We knew we could make the playoffs. It was just a matter of proving it to ourselves and everyone else ' The team also made the conference and finished in second place behind one of the best teams in the country. Walterboro High also began a J.V. baseball team. The team finished 9-2 leaving the coaches with great hopes for future years. With this type of feeder program, the coaches felt the baseball program can only continue to improve. by Lasonya S. Washington Sports DELIVERING A SCREAMING fastball to the plate is Marlon Cobbs.

Comprised of mostly seniors, the team was expected to have a fine sea- son. Undefeated throughout the regu- lar season, the Lady Dogs ended the regular season and headed into the state playoffs with something no other team at WHS has ever had — the num- ber one ranking in the state. It was nice knowing that there were people out there that felt we were deserving of such a ranking ' said Coach Rusty Ad- ams, who was chosen as the Region 6- AAAA Coach of the Year. It was an honor to have that ranking near the end of the regular season, but the one that really counts is the final ranking. After going undefeated through the regular season, the ladies claimed the number three seed in the state playoffs. They beat West Florence 12-0 in the first game, but lost to Lancaster 3-1 in the second game. Tracy Reeves, who was named both an All-Region player and Co-player of the Year, stated, The loss made us realize that we aren't unbeat- able, but it could have happened at a different time. They quickly rebound- ed, defeating Richland-Northeast 14-0, and advanced to the fourth round of the playoffs to meet conference rival Summerville, whom they defeated 7-0. The Lower State championship game pitted the ladies against Lancaster once more. This game proved to be just as exciting as the first, but Lancaster pre- vailed again with a 7-4 victory.

Many players despised their coaches during practice, but the athletes saw after a winning game why their coach did what he did. It was the coaches' job to complain, rant, and rave. It was the players' job to listen, understand, and perform. It was difficult for someone to make young people do what they dreaded, but the coaches knew that the athletes would be better people from their experiences on the field, floor, green, court, or track.

After post- poning the first day of the Special Olym- pics, the next scheduled day was a per- fect day for competition. The day be- gan with a parade. All the children participating in the events marched with different color flags. The participants and volunteers lined up for the opening procession. After the participants filed onto the field, the track and field events were officially opened by the lighting of the torch and the opening invocation. Volunteers from Walterboro High School and Ruffin High did a commend- able job of helping the event run smoothly and pleasantly for the local sponsors of the Olympics, Student vol- unteers worked on a one-on-one basis with some participants who required more individual attention. The volun- teers did more than just pay close atten- tion to some of the participants. They put a brighter smile on each child's face. They came dressed, as did Sharon Ulmer and Shannon Murdaugh as clowns. Delane Stephens, Ann Golf, and Lisa McCall painted faces of supervisors and volunteers, as well as participants. Huggers, standing at the finish lines of the various events, lent a personal touch to the competition. Carroll Ganaway commented, I thought the day and the Special Olym- pics went very well. Ann Goff, a two-year volunteer for the Special Olympics, said, Helping with the participants took a lot of pa- tience, but I didn't mind because I enjoy helping children, and they were having a good time and that is what made the day worthwhile. Not only were the kids involved, but adults from the Walterboro centers for the handicapped also had the opportu- nity to enjoy the Olympics. Excitement and tension filled the air as various colorful ribbons were distributed for achievement. In addition to the blue and red ribbons, gold ones were given to all the participants.

By Jason Dandridge Athletic Banquet any students had changed over the years, but as they looked back in retrospect, they saw a common bond that held them all together. The students, teachers, and administrators made up what was known as Walterboro High School Their voices echoed through the commons area as they ate lunch, shared the past weekend’s experiences, decorated for dances, or hung posters announcing current events sponsored by clubs and other organizations. The halls were filled with the sounds of their footsteps rushing to class, eager to meet a friend or to run “accidentally” into that someone special. They cheered on another’s accomplishments, such as Michael Portereiko s being named a National Merit Scholar and Jody McLaine’s scoring a record-breaking field goal. Students and faculty alike often stayed at school until the late hours of evening for athletic practices, club meetings, study sessions, or specific activities. It took the devotion of each individual to make all of these activities possible. Students recalled how time seemed to pass so quickly from the day they had entered the building as anxious freshmen to the night they, with diplomas in hand, faced their chosen paths in life; yet, they knew that the interactions they had with one another, their teachers, and the administra- tors would never be forgotten. ? : 1' :: : !:: mmMmm m Divider Seniors Andrea Duffie, Me- lanie Colson, and Nina Pao- lantonio put a warning sticker on Assistant Principal Arliss Jarvis car because lie does not have a parking sticker on his car Since Mr. Jarvis is the principal who ‘‘bulldogs” stu- dent cars without parking stickers, these students feel that he should practice what he preaches. 125 People 'Being a senior is remembering past and future.” — Monroe Rhodes Laulita Adams Ulysces Aiken Shandel Akins Crystal Alcorn Christie Allen Michael Artlip Janice Barnes Stacey Barwick Christina Bashnan Michelle Bazzle Samantha Beach __________John Bell Leah Bell Joyce Bennett Angela Benton Glovenia Berry People Senior Class Comes of Age From Athletic Mania to Academic Excellence Before discussing new ideas for fundraisers, senior officers Chrissy Greene, Eddie Wilson. Rosie Bright, Faye Olds, Troy Spires, and Monica Linder “lounge in the library. The senior class officers planned various activities throughout the year for the graduating class. The officers were Eddie Wilson, presi- dent; Troy Spires, vice-president; Faye Olds, secretary; Chrissy Greene, treasurer; and Monica Linder and Rosie Bright, members-at- large. Kate George served as advisor to the officers. The officers planned many activities, including the five-day senior trip to Canada. The trip cost $268.00 for motel accomodations and bus fare. The senior class also sponsored Homecoming and Spirit Week. Spirit Week consisted of Twins Day, Black-out Day, 50's Day, College Spirit Day, and Bulldog Day. Students were able to show their school spirit by dressing according to the theme of the day. The officers also planned a Senior Awards Banquet where special awards were given to seniors for perfect attendance, good citizen- ship, and academic achievement. Graduation was a major project of the senior class. This year seniors were charged a $5.00 graduation fee. The seniors wanted to have different colored cords for athletic seniors as well as academic seniors. When asked about the benefits of being an officer, Faye Olds said, ”lt provides responsibility and the feeling that the entire senior class supported me.” Rosie Bright stated, ’’Being a senior class officer has given me a chance to reach out to the other seniors and help fulfill their wants and demands.

More and more they became politically involved. No longer did they just sit around wondering for whom their parents were going to vote in the presidential election. Young people were out there casting their own votes on the issue. Monroe Rhodes Jr., was a prime example of one politically involved youth of the 80's. Monroe, an 18-year-old senior, ran for a seat on the city council. Monroe's age was not the only issue that attracted so much atten- tion. He was a minority running on the Republican platform. Monroe's love for politics began when he took his first govern- ment course. He realized that when he became 18, that he could run for an office so he decided to take the chance. He commented, This may be one rung I achieve on my ladder of goals and successes. Monroe felt that there would be no conflict with his attending school and running for a public office. Another of Monroe's major issues was youth employment. He felt that there were no suitable jobs in the city to accomodate college graduates or high school graduates for that matter. He believed that the youth were being ignored and that businesses were neglecting them. His solution was for the city to attract corporations to enhance the growth of Walterboro. Though he gave his best, Monroe still lost the election to Mrs. Mary Ann Cannady.

While most students spent their summer vacations at the beach or just ‘'around the house, Leah Bell, a senior, traveled to Puerto Rico to visit some of her relatives. In addition to attending her cousin's high school graduation, Leah toured the island. She went to Old San Juan, the most historical city in Puerto Rico, where the streets are paved with blue cobblestones. She also visited a rain forest in El Yunque, the island's only U.S. national park. Not only did Leah visit fascinating sites, but she also met a variety of interesting people. Almost everyone there spoke English,” ex- plained Leah, and if I couldn't understand them, they would apolo- gize to me! On one occasion a nativve began speaking to Leah in Spanish, thinking that she was Puerto Rican because of her dark brown hair and sun tan. Although the Puerto Rican lifestyle is not very different from that of the U.S., Leah commented, They put tile on everything! They tile the floors, the walls, and even the ceilings! Leah enjoyed experiencing a different culture during her summer vacation and expressed, It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip! I was thrilled at having the privilege of going!

These students please come to school .. . Principals and staff strongly emphasized attendance and encour- aged students to keep absences to a minimum. The senior class tied with the junior class for having the highest rate of attendance, second only to the faculty. Students who met the challenge of being at school every day were awarded with bumper stickers embossed with the words Perfect Attendance.” Those seniors with 90 days perfect attendance were Christie Allen, Leron Allen, Michael Artlip, John Bell, Sandra Boozer, Kenneth Bowman, Robert Brown, Troy Brown, Vanessa Brown, Robin Christian, Melanie Colson, Todd Crosby, Felicia Cunningham, Lorrie Doctor, Okiesha Ellison, Robert Farmer, Robert Gamble, Ni- cole Gilmore, Cheryl Givens, Beatrice Gurita, William Hinz, Denise Flolmes, Ericka Jenkins, Gregory Jenkins, Sonya Jenkins, Christina Kannainen, Gregory Wright, Miguel Koger, Bernard Lane, Sabrina Levine, Monica Linder, Erica Manigo, Jeremy McMillan, Leslie McQune, Eugene Middleton, Sharon Middleton, Stacy Middleton, Travis Mosley, Tangela Nesbitt, Carolette Nettles, Valinda Olds, Michael Portereiko, Annette Pringle, Stacie Ray, Latroy Smalls, Troy Spires, John Stanfield, Charles Taylor, Lasonya Washington, Em- manuel Whitlock, Michael Williams, and Jerome McWilliams.

They both have a sense of humor. Chrissy Greene and Michael Portereiko were chosen Most Likely to Succeed” by the senior class. The greatest factor for being chosen Most Likely to Succeed” was grades. Chrissy was the president of the National Honor Society and the Philosophy Club. She showed her journalistic talents as the editor of the Paw Print staff. She was also the treasurer of the senior class. Chrissy remarked, I feel that a person's show of determination should be a very important factor. The main reason I succeed is that if I want something done, I do it.” Michael was captain of the prestigious Academic Team, a Nation- al Merit Finalist, and a recipient of the Bausch and Lomb Medal of Science. He was also presented a scholarship to the New Mexico Institute of Technology. Michael commented, Success is not mea- sured by the amount of awards or certificates that you have won, but by how many goals you have set for yourself and how many of those goals that you have achieved.” A student may not be mathematically or scientifically inclined, but he may be good in sports or have a natural zest for computers or even the piano. The standards of success should not always depend on grade-point averages. Whether one had set out to become an engineer or a ditch digger, if he achieved that goal, then he has succeeded. A wise man said, There is no failure, except in no longer trying.” By Dandi Brown Christopher Holmes Denise Holmes Kristy Holt Belen Hormaechea Stacy Hudson Thomas Hudson Stacy Huggins Dorita Hughes Seniors Athletic Activity A Time-Consuming Hobby Seniors Eric Stephens and Gina Johnson were voted by their class as Most Athletic,” an achievement that did not come easily. In order to earn that recognition, these students had to put in many hours of weight-lifting, body-building, and muscle-toning. They also had to spend some time studying. In order to participate in any sport, students had to maintain at least a passing average in each of their classes. Eric Stephens was a running back and a quarterback for the Bulldogs. He spent many hours training, practicing, and playing. Eric also played baseball. Eric managed to hold a job after school and was able to balance work and sports. A member of the softball team, Gina Johnson, like any athlete, devoted most of her time to sports. Gina was a pitcher and shortstop for the softball team. She stated, Practicing took up a lot of my time, but in order for our team to be good, we had to practice. Our coach pushed us to do as much as we could, and that helped us a lot.” By Lisa McCall Even though they were both voted Most Athletic ' Eric tries to prove to Gina just how much bigger and stronger he is.

Whether it was practical jokes or comical remarks, humor could always enlighten the doldrums of school. Terri Siders and Leron Allen, known for their wisecracks and antics, were voted as having Best Sense of Humor by the senior class. Terri could have been most athletic since she was a member of the varsity basketball, volleyball, and track teams. She was also a Stu- dent Council Homeroom Representative and a member of the Just Say No Club. Terri commented, Humor is necessary to get along with your peers. Humor is an everyday part of life. Leron was a varsity football player and a member of the Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes Club. He was also a main office helper.

Tommy was a photographer for the Paw Print staff and a mem- ber of the Foreign Language Club. He also worked in Mr. Arliss Jarvis' office and in the Guidance Office. Tommy commented, Be- ing the mascot with my buddy, Ike, was a lot of fun. The only trouble was keeping him off my leg! Anne was Student Council President, co-captain of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad, and the Secretary of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She was also Treasurer of the National Honor Society.

The only way to have a friend is to be one. Being friendly was an everyday part of life for Leah Bell and Bernard Lane, who were chosen as Friendliest by their peers. Leah was vice-president of the National Honor Society, a member of the Philosophy Club, and a member of the Judiciary Committee of the Student Council. She demonstrated her love for music as a member of the WHS Singers. She participated in sports as a member of the volleyball team for three years. She also served as a Special Olympics volunteer. Outside school, she worked as a clerk at Bogos- low and Jones law firm. Leah commented, The one thing I've learned from meeting people is that there are so many more to meet. Bernard was a member of the National Honor Society and Just Say No Club. He was also recognized for his art talent. Bernard commented, In order to meet new people and be liked by them, it is important to be friendly. Both these students were well-known for their effervescence and congeniality.

It gave students various opportunities to take the test and to improve their scores. Most students set a goal for themselves to score a minimum of 1,000 on the combined verbal and math aptitude sections. The results of the SAT were used for many purposes. One such purpose was for admission into college. Seniors anxiously awaited the return of their scores on the SAT because they knew that to be considered eligible for entrance into the college they had chosen, they must obtain a minimum score. Vikki Jackson commented, SAT scores are very important because they can greatly affect your future if you plan to attend college. Most colleges have a minimum SAT score requirement and if you 'goof off' while taking the SAT, then your academic record may meet the standard requirement, but you may not be admitted because of a low SAT score. Michael Portereiko was named a National Merit Finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The requirement for this is to make in the 98 or 99 percentile on the PSAT. Michael will now be eligible to receive a $2,000 scholarship. By Amy Ledford and Christie Allen Seniors scoring over 1r000 on the SAT are top row: Peter Lommen, Arnie Farmer, Leah Bell.

Juniors Take Charge Each year the junior class was actively involved in many matters that concerned the student body. Their most impor- tant role was the junior-senior prom. They discussed plans and decorations for the prom. The tentative date was set for May 5. Besides the prom, they also addressed fundraising and other items pertinent to the juniors as a whole. Vincent Smalls, junior class president, had been an active member of the student council since junior high. He comment- ed, I have enjoyed having the opportunity to serve as a junior class officer. The experience that I have gained was both educational and enlightening. He also added that he had thoroughly enjoyed is experiences in student council. Janyce Cobbs, vice-president, stated, I enjoy being able to have a vote on decisions in my school that will affect me.” Shantell Lewis, secretary, added, Having something to say about the things that go on in this school is great. I can not complain about anything that I can vote on. The junior class seemed to be involved with the school's government. They agreed that they enjoyed their junior year, but looked forward to their senior year.

Brains And Brawn Years ago it was believed that students did not have time to study and participate in their favorite sports; therefore, the opin- ion originated that students who played sports were not aca- demically inclined. This was far from the truth. Many teenagers maintained high scholastic standards and played various sports. Junior Jeff Hughes was one of those students who exemplified the ability to enjoy the best of both worlds. He was a member of the National Honor Society, the Academic Team, and a devoted soccer player. Junior Seth Huckabee was another academically inclined stu- dent who enjoyed playing sports. Seth was also a member of the Honor Society. He helped establish the “Just Say No Club and was very active in the Band of Blue. Junior Rhonda Maree ran track and kept high grades through- out her high school years. Rhonda was also a member of the Honor Society. Rhonda commented, Playing sports and main- taining high grades is very demanding, it is hard to excel in both. You just have to organize your priorities and get all of your work done. All three of these students were in the top five percent of the junior class. Through perseverance and sheer determination, each learned that one must work hard to achieve specific goals in life.

The two are good friends and participate in many of the same activities. True friendship began at home. Many students found this out when they discovered that their true friends were their siblings. These brothers and sisters had to work and play together at school to understand the true meaning of a friend. Juniors, Tommy and Craig Duffie played on the same soccer team. They were able to work as one unit because they could almost interpret each other's moves. They not only shared this closeness on the field, but in their school work too. We have almost identical schedules, so we are in the same classes. We get along really well, like best friends, and we help each other study. The person's personality had an affect on the relationship. Junior, Seth Huckabee and his brother Jeb, a freshman, grasped this idea well. Seth replied, Jeb has the opposite personality of me, even though we are in band and play soccer together. Many times when brothers and sisters work together they found that they competed with one another also. There is a lot of competition between us which often causes fights, replied Tommy. Seth commented, I don't put myself in com- petition with him. I have enough self-confidence to take it when he is better at something than I am.

The results of the PSAT were not as widely recognized as those of the SAT, but the students who scored one thousand and above did receive some recognition. The opinions about the PSAT were basically the same. Many students who took the PSAT felt that it was not as hard as they expected it to be. Junior Latarchya Hudson commented, I thought the math section was easy, although I had forgotten some basic precedures. The verbal section was a little more difficult. Junior Connie Smoak also agreed that the test was easy and that it was not something that you could study for. She pointed out, It had to be implanted in your brain from your past. The students who took the PSAT and scored in the ninety-five percentile were categorized as either a National Merit Scholar and or Black Merit Scholar. These prestigious awards are awarded every year to outstanding students. This year one of the NMS winners was a student at WHS. Three NMS finalists were from WHS. Michael Portereiko was chosen as a NMS win- ner.

Cheering Far from Home Junior Tina Hoover traveled to Honalulu, Hawaii on Decem- ber 31, 1 988. Her destination was the dorms of Univesity of Hawaii. Tina attended Universal Cheerleading Association summer camp for all-star competition. One person from each school's cheerleading squad participated. She came in forth place in the competition and was chosen to represent her school. Tina, along with 150 other girls, were able to go and enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. I arrived late, around 11:00, December 31 st. The cab that was supposed to take us to the dorms, dropped us off at the wrong place. We walked around for thirty minutes and finally found the right dorm, stated Tina. She commented that she went right to sleep as soon as she got to her room, Tina enjoyed a very active lifestyle. My favorite sport, though some may not consider it a sport, is cheerleading. I love to dance, jump and do gymnastics, so naturally I love to cheer, responded Tina. Along with her athletic talents Tina had an artistic side. Tina loved to draw and paint. Tina wanted to give a special thought to those who really supported her. I'd like to thank to Mrs. Sylvia Gale, the WHS faculty, the Lyon's Club, the athletic department, and family members.

Sophomores Tia Wright, vice-president; Kefly Green, member-at-large; Shelissa Garrett, presi- dent; and Tajuana Campbell, secretary help plan various activities throughout the year. Not pic- tured is Scott Walls, member-at-large. The Spring Dance was the major project of the sophomore class officers. The dance, which was held on May 12 was the big event of the year for the sophomore class. The officers held fundraisers throughout the year. They also sold refreshments during the CTBS testing. Lack of participation hindered the officers from accomplishing all they wanted in the year. President Shelissa Garrett commented, 'The Spring Dance was very important to us, and we worked to make it better than it had to be.” Vice-President Tia Wright com- mented, It's great being an officer and helping the sopho- more class, but we could be greater if we had more participa- tion. Even though the sophomore class lacked adequate fund- ing, the officers worked toward making the Spring Dance the best ever. Serving with Shelissa and Tia were Tajuana Campbei secretary; and Kellfy Green and Scott Walls, members-at- large. Mr. James Bodison, Mrs. Mary Clark, and Ms. Jacque- line Williams served as advisors to the class.

He enjoys play- ing the piano and drawing in his spare time. When asked about the effect the surgery has had on everday life, Brian replied, I have no limitations, but I do tire easily. Brian was born with a congenital heart defect — Coarctation of the Aorta. In this condition the aorta, the main artery which connects blood from the heart to the body, is pinched or constricted. Brian's first surgery was March 24, 1978, when he was 2 Vi years old. When he was 5, he had his second surgery. He was 12 years old when he had his third surgery. He is scheduled for another cath- eterization for the summer of 1989. One was administered in John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. The others were done in the Medical University of South Carolina. Brian said, I don't feel any different from any of my classmates. I feel very lucky. I almost didn't make it through my last sur- gery; I had a stroke. Despite all hardships that may have been placed on his life, Brian worked diligently to keep up with his peers, He took college preparatory courses and was a member of the History Club. Brian also allowed at least thirty minutes every Tuesday afternoon to playing the piano. When asked what type of music he liked most, he quickly replied, I don't enjoy playing any one type any more than the other. I play whatever type of mu- sic I feel like playing that day.

Even though many stu- dents stuck to traditional names, many chose unorthodox ones. How about naming a horse Poky, Dai- sy, or Combahee? Sophomore Brandy Butler gave these names to her quarter horse, Shetland pony, and gelding. Two dogs called Spasm and Sebastian were named by their owner, Kevin Moore, a freshman. Even though Donna Driggers' poodle had a huge appetite, its name was Little Bit. She also had another ca- nine named Sheba. Sharon Ulmer, a ju- nior, had a pet named Sheba as well, but it was definitely an arch-rival of Donna's canine companion. Sharon's Sheba was a cat! Another way pets and their names seemed unusual was in reversed names. Julie Chapman, a junior, called her three cats Chester, Spot, and Puppy. Some people named their animal friends after cartoon characters. Mary Frederickson, also a junior, called her dog Foofur. Me- lissa Hair, also a junior, named her cock- atiel Alf. Taking care of these pets was a lot of work for the students. Melissa stated, Cleaning up after Alf is a lot of work, but I don't mind. My three cats make a lot of mess, but I love them anyway, stated Julie Chap- man. Many times students simply tried to see how many strange names they could find. No matter how strange a name was thought to be, there was al- ways one stranger! By Ann Goff Sharon Ulmer's kitten Sheba pretends she owns the chair that she is sitting in at the time. Sheba demands a lot of care and attention. Sheba has grown into a very loving cat. 162 People Wendy Garrett Doug Garris Chad Garvin Michael Garvin Craig Generette Tymeko Generette Patrice Gerideau Don Gethers Joseph Gethers Taquan Gethers Shannon Giardini Latosia Gibson Tanya Givens Willie Glover Tracy Goad Susan Graves Kelly Green Nathaniel Green Jennifer Greene Troy Grosh Patti Groves Tiwana Groves Tammy Gunnoe Kristin Gwin Jacqueline Hampleton Norman Hand Ginger Hansborough Blaine Harrison William Harrison John Hartnett Louis Heyward Brian Hefner Bobbie Hendricks Cynthia Herr Monica Hickman Joseph Hiers Terron Hiers Denise Hiers Angela Hiott Joseph Hiott Deena Holmes Kevin Holmes Sophomores Albert Huggins Cyndi Hulbert Sherri Iriel Jacqueline Jackson Caronica Jenkins Jeffrey Jenkins Johnny Jenkins Monica Jenkins Thomas Jerideau Bo Jessen Felicia Johnson Greg Johnson Mark Johnson Michael Johnson William Johnson Antonio Jones Donnell Jones John Jones Renee Jones Wesley Jones Jennifer Kaye La Tasha Keaise Ernest Kinard Mark Kinard Vivian Kirkpatrick Timothy Kisner Anne Korb Kevin Kubik JJ Lamb Candice Lee Rhonda Lewis Misty Linder Eric Logan Sharee Logan Marta Lopez John Lyons Ruth Anne Lyons Tammy Magwood Ann Manigo Stacy Manigo Robert Marks Nicky Maxey 164 People Billy McCubbins Cyndi McCubbins f IsUa Gene McDonald Michael McDonald Michael McFadden Jody McLaine Grace McMillan Jason McMillan i Lacyona McNeil ft; Mark McQune .. 1 .

But who's average? Sophomore Keisha Pinckney and junior Sharon Ulmer were at least a foot under the average height. Keisha said that she had to buy her shoes in the childrens' section. She also commented that she could not see down the hall when she was changing classes. Sharon said, It is aggravating because guys treat me like I am their little sister.

Sopho- more Roger Shepherd found it difficult walking through doorways because of his height. They didn't let their height bother them. Besides, who says that the people who set the medical science standards are correct. There was one thing for certain, height made a lot of difference in the daily routine for these people. Neither Keisha nor Sharon could have been is- sued a top locker and Miguel, Roger and Jeff surely would not have appreciated receiving a bottom locker.

V I i jr Two of a Kind—Not Always the Same One out of approximately ninety hu- man births in America results in the birth of twins. Twins may be identical or fra- ternal. Identical twins are alike in ap- pearance and are the same sex. Identical twins sometimes elect to dress alike, which makes it harder for people to tell them apart. Often they have the same moods and temperaments. Sometimes the emotions of one twin have a psycho- logical effect on the other. Not all identical twins are completely alike. One example of this was Shelissa and Melissa Garrett, sophomores. Al- though Shelissa and Melissa were clari- net players for the Band of Blue, they did not take the same courses. Shelissa commented, It's complicated because people call me the wrong name. It's con- stant torture. Shelissa and Melissa had different likes and dislikes, like many other identi- cal twins. For example, Shelissa pre- ferred soft rock music, but Melissa pre- ferred rap for her listening enjoyment. Shelissa was a member of the Student Council, but Melissa chose not to be. Shelissa enjoyed reading romance nov- els, while Melissa preferred reading books with unusual names. Shelissa loved spending her time babysitting chil- dren, but Melissa preferred to do some- thing else. Just because twins are sup- posed to be identical, this does not mean that they have to be exactly alike. By Christie Allen 166 People Twins Shelissa and Melissa Garrett spend a great deaf of their time together. They often study together as well as help each other do various activities.

In the class, students were told the privileges they earned with driver's li- cense. The students learned proper driv- ing techniques and the dangers of driv- ing under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. Students spent the first nine-weeks in the classroom discussing laws, taking tests, and sharing thoughts and opin- ions about safe driving. In addition, stu- dents watched a weekly television pro- gram and several films showing actual wreck scenes. The second nine-weeks, students got a hands-on” experience behind the wheel of an automobile. Freshman Hallie Gregory expressed her opinion about drivers' education, I think students gain a lot of needed ex- perience in the class, but it's comforting to know there is a brake on the teacher's side of the carl” Not only did students gain general knowledge, but they also received a small discount on insurance rates as well. By Lisa McCall e under the watchful eye of James Bodison, students learn id drive correctly. They learn to make quick, but safe stivers in real situations. Sophomores NEW OFFICERS Freshmen Class Officers Jeb Huckabee, Michael Verner, Allie Mosely, and Zenida Middleton discuss plans for decorations for the Spring Dance as they stand outside to 'get some fresh air.” Freshmen have to adjust to a new environment as they start high school. They have more responsibilities placed on them than there were in middle school. Freshmen Student Council members do not plan as many activities as the upperclassmen because they are trying to become more acquainted with the school. For several generations, there has been a tradition of upperclassmen picking on fresh- men. It was not uncommon to hear an upper- classman giving a freshman the wrong direc- tions to his class. Most freshmen were not given much of an opportunity to voice their opinions. Some, however, were often called upon to make important decisions concerning the freshman class as a whole. Zenida Middleton, president; Jeb Hucka- bee, vice-president; Allie Moseley, secretary; and Michael Verner, treasurer were very active members of the Student Council. They helped plan such activities as the Spring Dance, held May 12. Members of Student Council, espe- cially the officers, worked very diligently to make the Spring Dance a success. The fresh- men members helped the other members with different fundraisers throughout the year.

What was -nusual was taking an 8,500 mile, 16 day trip around the United States on a motorcycle. ”nat is what freshman Sammy Smutz, his fa- er Sam, and his father's friend Eddie Robin- son did last summer. They originally intended to reach the four comers of the U.S. in less than 21 days. Their southern-most point was Key West, Florida. From there they went to San Ysidro, California. After that they headed northward to Blaine, -Vashington. They crossed the border into Canada and cut across three provinces there. = 001 Canada they went back to the states and ;ot within four hours of their intended destina- tion in northern Maine. After reaching Maine, ey headed southward to South Carolina. Their trip took them through 26 states. Sammy vividly remembered the 116-degree . eather that they suffered through in some states. He said, We thought a cold front had come through when the temperature was 80 zr 90 degrees.” By Lisa McCall Freshman Sammy Smutz and his father stop at a post office at their western-most destination during their trip. Riding on motorcycles gave them a chance to encounter many different weather conditions. They drove through a rainstorm on a 25-mile bridge in Louisiana and a hailstorm in Texas. Sammy said, We should have been better prepared for the trip and we should have spent a day or two resting. I quickly learned that people drive terribly throughout the United States.

They practice daily no matter what the weather is like. Their hard work pays off when they become recognized as one of the best bands in the state. The determination shows on the faces of Bfythe Buchannan, Anisha Blevins and Bubba Thomas as they practice diligently to help make their band the best it can be. Throughout the year the Band of Blue has competed in many contests and has been very successful. A NEW GROUP OF BAND MEMBERS Practicing marching fundamentals, memo- rizing music, and learning the show was a typi- cal August day for the eighty-five rookie band members. The first day of August had stu- dents a little nervous about what was in store for them the next few weeks. Trombone play- er, Elizabeth Miller commented, At first I thought the upperclassmen were mean and unfair, but now I see they had to buckle down so we could do well at the contests. After three weeks of all-day rehearsals, the rookies found themselves ready to show the public what they worked for so diligently. The first contest, held in Hanahan, caused a lot of uneasiness for the first-year members. It all seemed to pay off when the band brought home a superior rating and second place. Later contests proved just as rewardable with a su- perior rating at the Walterboro Band Classic, a third place at Camden, followed by a second place at Lower State. Band directors Mr. Bill Young, Mrs. Cathy Meshach, and Mr. Tom Finigan were very pleased with the rookies' performance.

For others, it was simply a form of entertainment. The student babysit- ters had a variety of activities they did while doing their jobs. Activities done while babysitting were rela- vely common. Some watched television or stened to the radio, while others did anything they could to keep the children entertained. Sophomore Denise Green stated, While ba- bysitting I try not to do anything that would distract me from the children. Freshman Lau- he Jenkins commented, While babysitting, I do my housework and play with the children. Junior Janelle Tolle babysat for money and to have something to do. Freshman Jennifer Handley explained, I babysit my sister and my neighbor's children. A number of other students replied that they babysat siblings, neighbor's children, cousins, and other relatives. The children's ages ranged from two weeks old to 12 years old.

Student's hearts were pound- ing. They were anxiously awaiting the end of another school day. Finally at 3:10 the bell rang and the hallways became filled with stu- dents rushing in all directions. While some rode buses home, drove their own cars, or were picked up from school, others chose to work or to attend after-school practices. Band members were one group who were required to stay after school. Junior Kim Nel- son expressed, Band practice is long and hard, but in the end, it is worth it because we are one of the top bands in the state ' Football players also stayed after school to practice and to prepare for games. Besides staying after school for practices, some students stayed for academic purposes. The Academic Team spent two afternoons each week testing their trivia skills to prepare for competitions. In addition, some stayed after school to be tutored or to attend club meetings. Clearly, the 3:10 bell marked the beginning of an active afternoon for many students. It also marked the close of another school day.

Various freshmen were asked their opinions of school dances and pep-rallies. Some of their replies were that such activities gave them a chance to be with all their friends, show support for their school, and best of all, get out of class. Freshman Rebecca Butler ex- pressed, They give you a chance to show your pride in WHS with all of your friends.” Since All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ' pep-rallies and dances broke the monotony of sitting in classes all day. Pep- rallies also gave the football team the extra initiative to try to win. Monica Jones stated, It ’peps up' the team and gets them ready for the game.” Although it appeared that students liked pep-rallies and dances, several freshmen said that they needed to last longer. Benque- sha Milligan replied, The dances should be longer and more people should dance.” By Amy Ledford The freshman class shows support and enthusiasm for WHS during a school pep rally. In the beginning of the school year, many freshmen sit in the gym without showing school spirit; however, as the year progresses and they begin to fall into place, they become more active. Pep rallies are just one of the many ways freshmen are given opportunities to feel welcome at WHS. School dances are additional activities that freshmen are given a chance to participate in. As they become more involved in various activities, they become a part of the school.

Rusty Adams — Biology, Softball Coach Ruth Algood — Civics, US History Dawn Arrington — Guidance Secretary Easter Barnhill — Math Frank Barnhill — Assistant Principal No doubt about it, students perform more efficiently under a teacher who shows care and compassion for his or her students. From that first day of school, a student knew what was ex- pected for the remainder of the year. How one performs usually has a lot to do with the attitude shared between teacher and student. This attitude is important not only for a student-teacher relationship, but also for a student-administrator rela- tionship. Mr. Frank Barnhill felt he has had a secure relationship with the stu- dents of Walterboro High School, and more specifically. Student Council. When asked how he felt about that po- sition, he responded, “I love it! Student Council gives me an outlet. It's one of the few times I don't have to deal with problems. The satisfaction of the suc- cess of the goals we accomplish gives me the incentive to keep going. He did admit it is an additional responsibility with its fair-share of work. However he stressed, I couldn't do it without the help of Lynn Stroble. She is always there for anything I need. Many people have felt the most im- portant quality of a caring teacher is the approach used in teaching the les- son. Each teacher has a different meth- od and there have been many ways to improve a teacher's skills. One of these used throughout the school district was P.E.T., an acronym for Program for Effective Teaching. The program trained teachers to be conscious of why they are teaching and the method they use in teaching.

History Repeats the number of credits and the number of absences required for graduation, which have been strictly enforced. Attitudes toward teachers were reported to have been quite different. Teachers were re- spected a lot more by students and were said to have been more caring than many teachers now. Ideas and morals changed as far as dating was concerned. When asked about the differences between the high school days of teachers and the days of the students they teach, most teachers quickly responded. Ms. Coe stated, Students have more materialistic val- ues than they did when I grew up, and school is not as important as it used to be. Mrs. Dowdy reminisced, The stu- dents had more respect for themselves and others than students do now. By Amy Ledford Having a cheerful attitude while doing janitorial duties, Mr. Mark Bowers exhibits his youthful na- ture. Although teenagers of the eighties seemed to think they were unique, they were actually a generation much like those of the past. Similarities were dis- played through fashion and music. Tye- Dyes, Saddle oxfords, long skirts and turtlenecks were among some of the fads that came back. Not only fashion had come into style again, means of en- tertainment also reappeared. Songs like Don't Be Cruel”, I Think We're Alone Now, and The Twist were repro- duced to fit the contemporary age of the eighties. The faculty of Walterboro High School was surveyed on various topics concern- -g their high school days. In this sur- .ey, they compared the similarities and drfferences in school related activities of then and now. School spirit remained prevalent with many teenagers. Pep rallies, school dances and other school-related activi- res were still in existence. However, two very important things had changed.

When former ad- ministrator Steve Carter ieft, Mr. Arliss Jarvis and Coach Doug Bullock were pro- moted to the position of Assistant Princi- pal. Mr. Jarvis was definitely not a stranger to anyone at Walterboro High School. If not encountering him managing the stu- dent store, students found him repairing lockers, directing traffic or just offering assistance to any wandering soul. The ra- diant smile on his face could have been the result of a recent marriage. However, he didn't have any problems finding time for cooking, hunting, gardening, and enjoying all sports. To add to all of his teaching and assistant prinGipalship responsibilities, his devotion as the sponsor of the DECA club continued for the twenty-fourth year. After working at Walterboro High School for six years. Coach Doug Bullock was delightfully surprised when he was asked to become an assistant principal. “The definite increase in responbilities has its ups and downs,” commented Coach Bullock. He has been married for eleven years and has four daughters. His hobbies were dabbling with computers. Joyous after receiving many roses and cards for her birthday. Assistant Principal Debra Moody exhibits her gifts in her office, playing golf and tennis, and paddling chil- dren. However, his many interests did not conflict with his extra-curricular duties of being both the J.V. Football and Golf Coach. Many different opinions were heard about the new computerized systems in- stalled for the school. Some teacher said the computers are beneficial and informa- tive, while others were in total opposition to the extra work it caused. Since the 80's brought about an introduction of the com- puter age, the computer had been used in many business and personal tasks. How- ever, to Walterboro High School the sud- den change from paperwork to computers left a lot of mixed feelings. When Mrs. Bodison was confronted with how she felt about the “mighty Osiris, she respond- ed, “The computer has lessened work as far as record-keeping is concerned. With a push of a button, it enables me to ob- serve a student's grade, age, race, sex, discipline problems, and attendance. It also allows the monthly drop-out reports to appear quickly and more efficently and with extreme accuracy. All of the sur- rounding counties used computers to de- crease their work load.

This was Mr. Jarvis' first year as an assistant administra- tor. Administrators any of the students’ memories of high school involved the community Community members became as in- volved in the school as high school students had in the community. Businesses in the area helped finance the bumper sticker incentive program organized by Mrs He- len Bodison. In the spring, high school students volun- teered to be Rice Planters, spending the three days of the Rice Festival acting as guides for the event. Students worked part-time at local fastfood restaurants, grocery stores, and privately owned businesses to earn spending money. Many students spent this money at local gas stations, restaurants, and clothing stores. American Government teacher Greg Cranford got students in- volved In the community by encouraging them to attend County Council and City Council meetings, General Sessions Court, City Court, and School Board meetings. Some students got involved in the mayoral race by helping campaign for Mayor Elton Culpepper, Harry Cone, and Charlie Sweat, and students were at the court- house when the election results came in, indicating that Harry Cone had won. That same night other students were attending a School Board meeting at which senior Leah Bell was presenting a proposal to the Curriculum Committee regarding the exemption policy based on attendance. Students hoped that the community would provide opportuni- ties for them to enjoy their favorite pastimes; however, many students often found nothing to do on the weekends. Many stu- dents found entertainment in the popular and age-old tradition of “cruising Jefferies,” while others hung out at the local waterfall or recreation center. 190 Divider WHS students Na- thaniel Green and Billy Jones dance and sing in the patriotic finale dur- ing Variety.

Community 191 Historical Site Dedicated as Future Museum Old Jail Restored Dedications were held Tuesday, Sep- tember 6, for the Old Jail house. The Old Jail is being used as a museum and Colleton County Council Chambers. Mrs. Laura Lynn Hughes, a Walterboro High School teacher and a member of the Old Jail Commission, spoke at the assembly. Mrs. Hughes told the crowd at the dedication that the Old Jail was de- signed in the Neo-Gothic style by Charleston architects in 1856. Some of the bricks may have come from the old courthouse in Jacksonboro, which was abandoned when the county seat was moved to Walterboro. The state apro- priated 11,000 to build the jail. The tract of land was purchased with funds from the sale of the lot of the previous jail, which stood where The Press and Standard building now stands. The Old Jail stayed in use until 1937. It then was used as the county office until 1975. The renovations were authorized by the Colleton County Council with guid- ance from the Old Jail Commission. The commission, established by County Council in 1982, is chaired by George Cone, who presided at the dedication ceremonies. Other members of the commission include Mrs. Huches, Pat Ray, Lila Smoak, J.M. Cane, Albert Lu- cas, and Rev. James D. Riley. Counci- lors Harris Beach and Floyd Buckner served as liaison to the commission. Funding for the renovations came from a bond issue and from the Accomoda- tions Tax Advisory Board, The Old Jail house is now in its third adapted use. Adaptive use of buildings preserves the visual heritage of the community and distinguishes the town from all others. By Dylane Stephens Demonstrating the neo-Gothic architecture of the Old Jail, Mrs. Hughes points out the impor- tance of preserving our visual heritage.

The Blood- mobile was sponsored by the Student Council. The requirements for giving blood were that the students were required to be at least 17 years old and weight at least 110 pounds. Any other requirements would have been brought to the students’ atten- tion when they arrived to give blood. Eighty to one hundred pints of blood are usually collected from Walteroboro High School. Mr. Breeze continued, “I am satisfied with this and I enjoy working with the students at WHS,” who are a “terrific bunch.” There are no serious risks in giving blood. Occasionally, a person may become light- headed or pass out from lack of blood. De- spite the risks, others were unable to give blood because they were anemic, not hav- ing enought iron in their blood, or they were too young, underweight, or were taking medicine that kept them from giving blood. Sheila Washington commented, “I didn’t give blood because I wasn’t old enough.” She continued, “I would have given blood because it is a good cause and it helps the persons who need it a lot.” Nicole Holmes Students and Teachers Take Part ♦ replied, “1 didn’t give blood because I am afraid of needles.” Student volunteers for the program were Rosie Bright, Sonta Smalls, Lasonya Wash- ington, Rhonda Maree, Janyce Cobbs, Ter- rance Williams, and Lamonte Heyward. Community volunteers were Christie Beach, Dianne Mitchener, Chris Frasier. Earl Gordan, Debbie Rowell, Scott Breeze, Martha Hosteter, Lisa Weatherford, Evelyn Simmons, Mildred Griffin, Marchell Evans, and Sandy Barefield.

Janu- ary 1. a new face took over the position as ■Biff, and that was Eddie Chasteen. At ;e 30, Chasteen was one of the youngest sheriffs ever to be elected in the state of South Carolina. Chasteen, a native of Marion, North Caro- ba, graduated from Dow High School and New Sheriff Brings New Ideas To Colleton County Wofford College. While attending Wofford, Chasteen worked full-time at Spartanburg Hospital as a security guard. He is married to the former Julie Crosby of Walterboro, and they have two sons, Lee and Robert. The job of sheriff is being the “adminis- trator of the department, investigating the crimes that occur, getting enough evidence to prove that is true, and getting the case ready to go to court,” Chasteen remarked. Chasteen has many ideas about making changes in Walterboro. “Making Walter- boro, in law enforcement, a professionally- run department, crime watch, and preven- tion, and anything I can do to get the public involved with law enforcement will be a move in the right direction,” he stated. By Beth Harris Eddie Chasteen and his wife, Julie, discuss the election returns from each precinct. These words spoken over 2,000 years ago are still true.

You have to speak in another lan- guage and you don’t know anybody,” she continued. “You are happy to be here, but at the same time you are scared about what is going to happen. Belen is one of four- teen exchange students who found the ex- perience both exciting and frightening. The exchange students represented five coun- tries. Along with Belen, representatives of Spain were Marta Lopez, Christina Fernan- dez, and Rafael Amat. Students from Den- mark were Manna Smed, Soren Jensen, Palle Johannesen, and Mads Seiersen. From Germany came Katrin Murnberger, Beatrice Gurita, and Mark Schneider. Japa- nese students were Kayo Morita, Maho Shi- mizu, and Toshio Asano. Rudy van den Berg, a Netherlands native, was also a par- ticipant. Blending into the American scene seemed to be no problem for the exchange students. Soren made an interesting addi- tion to the football team. The volleyball team was quite receptive to Beatrice. To- shio, who played tennis in Japan, joined the action on the local court. Katrin and Kayo became Band of Blue flag girls. Beatrice A Year Long Journey and Kayo shared their artistic talents with the journalism staff. The cheerleaders wel- comed Maho to the squad. “I love to cheer, but in Japan, football is not popular. I was surprised it was so exciting,” commented Maho. The students found many of the classes difficult. The common complaint was too much homework and too many tests. In spite of this, their guidance counselors found a class to suit each foreigner’s tal- ents. Katrina, Kayo, Beatrice, and Maho all took art classes. Maho brought many skills with her to the ceramic class and enjoyed sharing with others. Art instructor Marilyn Zielke praised the efforts of the students. These students certainly bring talent and effort to the class. Maho is the best potter I have ever taught.” Beatrice and Katrin sub- mitted sketches to the annual Sidewalk Art Show held in October. Both girls received honorable mention ribbons. The students returned to their home- lands in June, taking with them a little piece of America and leaving American stu- dents with an appreciation for other cul- tures.

The Band of Blue Booster Club consisted of Sissy Williamson, president; Catherine right, vice-president; Patty Gwin, secre- tary; and Mary Lommen, treasurer. These rarents of band students were responsible yzr help in transportation, uniforms, and the z-nual banquet where they provided food snd decorations. Another big help was sup- pi . ing cold soft drinks after football games and contests. Mrs. Williamson commented, I ;S real rewarding to help the kids and be izie to provide at least a cold drink after a r-r'formance.” Income from the Walter- zero Band Classic, yard sale, bake sale, and raffle went toward new uniforms and extra tauses to contests. Mrs. Williamson contin- ued. ‘We are basically a supplement for the r aget, financing the general run of things rat otherwise wouldn’t be possible.” Heading the Athletic Booster Club were M -eMcLaine, president; Leon Avant, vice- r esident; Sharon McLaine, secretary; and Ecr. Penfield, treasurer. This group was re- 7: nsible for supporting all athletic teams. The main project of the year was raising imds for new visitor stands at the stadium. The People Be- hind the Players Money raised from concession stands at games, the Rice Festival, and the softball tournament along with last year’s funds to- talled over $5,000. They planned to contin- ue selling game programs, hats, and stadi- um cushions until their goal of $25,000 was reached. The group also financed the annu- al athletic banquet. Without the help of the booster clubs, the band and athletic teams would be lacking the support, both financial and emotional, that was so vital to an organization.

Lake's Welding Service Hwy 303 Walterboro, SC 29488 (803) 549-7127 Community This year the School Improvement Council handled many important issues. Among these were the changing of course titles and the graduation ceremony. Over the years, courses were stated as being advanced, college preparatory, gen- eral, or practical. Yet a few years ago, the advanced placement program was intro- duced. This course provided students with the opportunity to receive college credit. Because the advanced placement course title was being confused with the advanced course title, the School Improvement Coun- cil voted on changing the name of the ad- vanced course program to the honors pro- gram. Council member and assistant princi- pal Debra Moody stated that “changing the course title would help to lessen the confu- sion between the advanced placement course and the advanced course. One of the biggest problems that the school Improvement Council had to face this year was the graduation ceremony. Some seniors wanted to change from hav- ing the ceremony held in the gym, where it had been held for the past years, to having it held at the football stadium. The reason for this change was that the seniors felt that there would be more room provided for par- ents and relatives at the stadium than there would be a the gym. Also, the seniors felt Changing Ideas Through School that more tickets could be available to graduating seniors to give to their relatives if the ceremony was held at the stadium. After debating on this issue, the School Im- provement Council decided that it would still be better to have the graduation cere- mony held at the gym because it would be difficult to predict what the weather condi- tions would be like on graduation night. The council felt that it would be easier on the teachers who participated in the ceremony because it would be easier to control the number of people in the gym than it would be at the stadium. The School Improvement Council gives the students, parents, and school faculty members the opportunity to discuss impor- tant topics that affect the school’s function in the community. Mrs. Moody remarked that “the School Improvement Council is an information giving and gathering organi- zation that gives students and parents the opportunity to get involved in school activi- ties.

These members include Mrs. Carroll Brown, III, Chairman; Dr. J. Frank Biggers; Mrs. McKither Bodison; Mrs. Er- nest George; Mrs. Joseph Samuels; Mrs. Bryant Rhode; Mrs. John I. Rogers; Mrs. Cary E. Upchurch; and Mrs. N.H. Varn, Jr. The library contains approximately 62,000 books. It also has a subscription to 126 periodicals and 9 newspapers. The li- brary has cassettes, records, filmstrips, art prints, special videotapes for help with the SAT and the GED, and microfilm. The li- brary also has a bookmobile which travels all over the county 5 days a week. In 1984 the library was renovated, and additions were made. During renovation, a large assembly room was added, and the state area and the children’s area wre en- A Reliable Source for Knowledge larged. The renovation was made possible through funding provided by the LSCA Grant administered by the South Carolina Library, a South Carolina Rural Improve ment Fund Grant, County and City appro- pirations, and generous gifts from groups and individuals. In January 1987, Sylvia Rowe became head librarian. Mrs. Rowe, a Colleton Coun- ty native, graduated from WHS in 1963 and from Columbia College in 1967. She re ceived her Masters of Librarianship from USC in 1986. The library is an invaluable resource to the student body. Numerous research pro- jects and papers could not be completed were it nor for the availability of the li- brary’s materials and the cooperation of the library staff. Junior Leslie Williams com- mented, “It's a good place to get some peace and quiet and research your brains out!” Angie Broach, another junior, stated. “The library is a place to socialize, ‘catch up’ on the latest news, be schooly,’ and. maybe do some studying,’’ Whether stu- dents went to the library for socializing or for studying, the library proved to be a valu- able resource.

It was held February 28 through March 5. A cast and crew of 90 to 100 people ranging from 1 to 75 years per- formed a variety” of songs for the audi- ence. A Night On the Town” was the four- teenth production of Variety. It began with a night-club scene, followed by a clown seg- ment performed by the young people. The segment began with Carolyn Henderson singing, Come Follow the Band.” Young Marc Stroble and Jenny Robbins performed a duet, Friendship.” Marc’s brother, Kyle Stroble, stole the show by playing the role of a puppet. A special attraction of the evening was a guest appearance by none other than the famous California Raisins. WHS’s own brother and sister choral team, Nathaniel and Christi Green, per- formed the duet, I’ll Be There.” Nathaniel and Christi, along with Lashonda Lawton and Leslie Shider, performed Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours.” During the intermission, the audience en- joyed the parade of the 1989 Living Ads. The Living Ads were Pam Crosby, Leslie Williamson, Joy Walker, Allyson Bridge, Madeline Gallagher, Toni Wilson, Nina Pao- lantonio, Nichole Maxey, Tara Roy, Stacy Marchant, Amy Easteriin and Stacey Bar- With “A Night On the Town” wick. A favorite segment of the audience was the salute to America. The show ended with Ed Robbins giving the narration, I Am the United States.” Ed Robbins served as director of the pro- duction. Mr. Robbins has been involved in Variety for 10 years, and this was his fourth year as director. Mr. Robbins commented, Variety is put together by a varied group of community sources. It is a community project to bring six nights of fun to Colleton County.” Students participating in Variety were Andrea Bishop, Ernest Chapman, Kim Drig- gers, Christi Green, Nathaniel Green, Billy Jones, Lashonda Lawton, Leslie Shider, Margaret Stanfield, and Amy Wright. Mar- garet Stanfield commented, The best part about being in Variety was that 1 was able to meet so many different people that I had no other way of knowing. It was a great exper- ience, and I urge others to come out next year.” By Christie Allen WHS students senior Billy Jones and junior Kim Driggers rehearse the finale with the rest of the cast.

Some remembered working diligently on term papers. AP students took the dreaded AP exams In the middle of May, Cramming for exams was another memory, unpleasant though it may be. Clubs were held for the last time of the year on Wednesday, May 17. Students attended athletic and academic awards ceremonies; bandsmen surprised Director Bill Young when they presented 'This is Your Life, Bill Young” at the band banquet May 19. The girls’ softball team had a great deal of support from students and the community as they worked their way to the Lower State Playoffs, white the baseball and soccer teams both finished great seasons. Many had attended the Prom or the Spring Dance, and memories of evening gowns, formal photos, corsages, and dancing soon flooded their minds. Jr. Sr. Weekend at Edisto Beach had been “one huge party” not soon to be forgotten. Everyone recalled the end-of-the-year parties held on the weekends, and the members of the Class of ’89 remembered cutting school the Monday before exams and going to the beach, making the most of the short amount of time left to spend with one another. Many others had attended the spring band and chorus concerts. The chorus chose “One Moment in Time” as the theme for the concert, which ended on a very touching note as the seniors dedicated a song in Mrs. Drawdy’s honor.

A Joyous Occasion Taking part in a mock wedding, Tammy Byrd catches the bridal bouquet as her classmates look on with expressions of laughter 1 and surprise. Family Life classes held the mock wedding after ting together a w Time 235 A Fond Farewell It was as if those attending the reunion had been wisked back in time. They remembered exactly how they felt at the end of the school year. Whether they had been freshmen, who were glad that upperclass- men would no longer pick on them; or sophomores, who were ready to move up a rung on the high school hierarchy; or juniors, who were anxiously awaiting their last year; or seniors, who were ready to gra- duate, everyone seemed to realize that the nine months they had spent in school that year had left them with lots of memories. They recalled times of laughter and times of sadness, times of anger and times of joy, times of pride and times of humility. Many remembered having to say goodbye to the foreign exchange students, but the friendships that had formed and the knowledge of different cultures that had been gained would last forever. Though the senior class had been plagued with crontroversy over the graduation ceremony, and some had demonstrat- ed with protests against the decision to hold gradu- ation in the gym with a limit of six tickets per gra- duate, they remained “united through diversity.” Every student had some special memory of that year which brought a smile to his face or a tear to his eye. Although that year had held many special mo- ments, the students, especially the seniors, knew that the years ahead would hold many more memories. One Moment in Time Surrounded by her senior chorus members, Choral Director Stephanie Drawdy listens as David Kinard performs a song which the seniors dedi- cated in Mrs. DrawdyV honor. Having taught chorus at WHS for four years, she has followed this group of students from their freshman to their senior year. 236 It’s About Time OobpRon “it’s About Time,” PAW PRINT 1989, Volume 19, was printed by Herff-Jones Yearbooks in Montgomery, Alabama, with the guidance and assistance of yearbook specialist Steve Karelitz.

I would like to thank Mrs. Cindy Carter for allowing us to make hun- dreds of copies of journalism “stuff” in the office; Mr. Rob Novit, for providing us with life-saving photographs and good advice; Mrs. Julia Waddell and Mr. Russell Polk, for easing the stress around deadline days with their humor; and Mrs. Blocker, for pointing out all of our misspelled words and grammatical errors. And a very special thanks to Mrs. Marilyn Zielke, for her never-end- ing devotion to “the cause.” I cannot believe that the year is over; we have (almost) completed the PAW PRINT 89. It seems like only yesterday that most of the staffers met at Edisto Beach for a workshop and fun-in-the- sun, and now here I sit writing the colo- phon. The time has certainly flown. 237 Playing the part of the judge, Rhonda Lewis participates in an Eng- lish project for Mrs. Vera Bodison’s class.
