When the senior class decided on the record's title for their motto, they realized it was impossible to ignore the purpose. Mr. Jerry O'Bannion, senior class advisor, established his room as the idea center. Ideas were kicked around until a weekend began to take shape; a dance held on Friday, followed by a car wash Saturday, and wrapped up with a Sunday soft-ball game. All the proceeds went to the Pike County Outreach and the African Relief Fund. When it was all over, 600 dollars had been raised and were ready to go to a good cause.

Assemblies gain more appeal Copy by Elizabeth Fish Page Designed by Maggie Pritchard Assemblies took on new life this year as plays, talking trees and candy became part of the new set up. The most notable assembly, the Christmas assembly, featured the talking tree who explained the true meaning of Christmas to Santa. A reindeer told of the activities that would take place over the Christmas break. Finally candy flew from the hands of Student Council members to the eager hands of students who sat in the seats. Reverend Mark Pfeifer, who graduated from Waverly in 1982, spoke at the Easter assembly. A hush fell over the crowd as Mr. Pfeifer spoke of the crucifixion of Christ. Following this, candy once agpin flew in the air and the Easter assembly came to a close. In May students witnessed the awards assembly, the Georgian Portrait Studio slide show and the NHS inductions.
