IN THAT WARRIOR TRADITION Pacing The Pack As the students and faculty of Wando High School began the 86-87 school year, many changes were noticed. First was the difference in the number of classes and the amount of time spent in each class. The day at Wando consisted of seven periods that lasted 56 minutes each. There were many schedule conflicts this school year. Students and faculty found that most all of the classes were overcrowded. We at Wando also faced the confusion of a bell system which was no longer a bell but a tone. Many students were tardy consistently to class after lunch because the tone could not be heard, until outside speakers were installed in October. At the end of the '85 school year and the beginning of the '86 year, we learned that we could claim some of the finest teachers and coaches. Coach Jim Craven was named Golf Coach of the Year. Coach Craven has done a great job with the Golf Team, which won the State Championship last spring. Mrs. Beverly Varnado, who teaches English to tenth and eleventh grade students, was named Charleston County Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Varnado is also the co-director of the Charleston Area Writing Project. Wando is proud to have such fine faculty! Tragically, Wando faced a fire last June on the night of graduation. Although the damage was not severe, some damage was done to the library. Many books were either burned or received smoke damage. The damages were repaired before the ’86 school year began. Besides being teacher of the year. Mrs Varnado is The Mt. Pleasant Fire Dept, stopped a fire in the very spirited Media Center before it did much damage. -{XJ — Opening T 26007
