Any Way You Look At Communities . . . othing Comes Close Mysteries, love stories, biographies, autobiographies, magazines and yearbooks . . . what do they have in common? If nothing else, they all share those all important final pages - the ones that tie it all together and somehow manage to tell who dun it. The final pages of our yearbook are no different. Without the sup- port of our ad- vertisers and pa- trons, the memories of the year could never five surrounding communities, Oakboro, Endy, Locust, Stanfield, and Ridgecrest, also donated their support whether it be buying magazines, candy bars, or Christmas cards from students.

The Universal Language Expressions, the universal language, has become, down through the ages of time, a vital part of every spoken language. Each person has developed his own expression language which is totally unique, yet understandable. Over the course of the school year WHO ME? Sophomore Darin Helms entertains Mrs. Sherry Smith's sixth period English class with a fewjokes after giving his oral bookrepgrt. NAP TIME. Senior Dale Hunsucker takes time out from the terrible heat of Track practice to catch up on some much needed rest. STYLE. Sophomore Dionne Osborne demonstrates her style of singing and the best way to hit that final note in the Drama production America in Song with a tribute to Judy Garland. students from Freshmen to Seniors learned quickly the vital letters of the expression alphabet. For example, everyone has been punched or elbowed at least once as a warning of an approaching teacher and everyone learned that expres- sion that comes over a teacher's face before she assigns the entire class D-hall. These things we used constantly yet maybe never realized how important they were. What would life have been like over the years if everyone looked and acted exactly the same all the time? Probably very boring. Expression has helped us in other ways too. All those gag gifts that were given at Christmas, how much fun would they have been without the surprised expression that came over the receivers face? Expressions became an outlet for our feelings since birth. Everyone had their own special way of letting people know they were happy or sad, mad or sick. Expressions were our way of letting the people around us know what was going on inside us and thanks to them we were able to share our feelings without ever saying a word. Expressions!205
