JASON FILIPOW fJouMtoudH j 37 fJouMCouriug Down the hole! 'Round the bowl! Whoosh! Whoosh!” yelled Kerry Du- puy at the top of her lungs in the cheerleaders’ skit at the bonfire during Homecoming Week. Over 500 people strolled into the stadium to mock the Green Wave. The freshmen attempted a ver- sion of the song Wipeout.” The sophomores presented the Summerville HC Queen contest in which the beau- ties were portrayed by two guys and a dog! The seniors pitted Warrior against Wave in a surfing championship. Deron Nettles , as the War- rior, emerged victorious while Tre Shepperd, as the pitiful wave, wiped out! The juniors were the real winners of the skits with their not John Nelson definitely has the right idea. The best way to get the most Lifesavers out of the bowl is to just suck in all of the Cool Whip and Life- savers and spit! The seniors won this class competition. Deron Nettles rides the 'waves'' during the senior skit at the bonfire pep rally. The Summerville surfer. Tre Shepperd. wiped out! He wasn't even expecting to be drenched by a bucket of water! Down the Hole, 'Round the Bowl so clean — not so innocent” acts of aggression toward a yellow-bellied scum sporting an obscene gesture! The night ended with a bonfire in the parking lot where Toby Short sacrificed the effigy of a Wave. The school was full of spirit and enthusiasm,” claimed Charles Smalls. The surge of school spirit was matched only by the intensity of the heat from the fire which took a week of collecting wood and an afternoon to build the 30 foot inferno: thanks to Marion Bulwinkle, Jon Howell, and Rusty Car- son! Heather Ancrum thought Friday's rally was going to be dull: Usually a pep rally at Wando consists of the same old things. The band plays the same songs, and the cheerleaders do the same cheers. This Homecoming pep rally was definitely more exciting! Excited and enthusiastic, the stands erupted with school spirit. Special guests included DJ Jeff Williams and rap group Crush Crew. Syd- ney Abarta thought that the highlight of the rally was when the teachers ran out and did some crazy cheers. It was fun and got everyone excited for the big night! If I weren't a Warrior, tell ya what I'd be. I'd be a ... plumber? Well, that's what Kerry Dupuy claimed as she performed in the cheerleader skit at the bonfire pep rally. 24 t- HOMECOMING

Stlppincj Out Quentin Scott, Wando's former prin- cipal, said that he was really sad to see them all go. It was Scott’s final commencement ceremony before his retirement at the end of last school year. Diplomas were award- ed and individual awards were an- nounced, including the first annual presentation of the Moultrie High School Reunion Scholarship. The graduates all stood together to sing the Alma Mater Southern Sun” in a wave of cardinal satin robes before finally departing to Ployhar’s Fanfare Recessional. Clift Toner has a wide grin on his face for good reason: after twelve years of hard work, he has finally earned his diploma and a schol- arship to match! It was a warm evening the night of June 5, 1987, as Wando's four- teenth graduating class entered the stadium to the strains of Pomp Circumstance. They were escorted onto the field by Junior Marshalls Shane Swanson, Betsy Kau, Lisa Jas- per, Christina Stefanou, Shawn Slater, Delores Schweitzer, Gina Middaugh, and Matthew Mitchell — all destined to one day become Wando Honors graduates them- selves as they stood by and wit- nessed Mary Mathewes receiving her Valedictory award.
