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.

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

he year is 2014. 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
