Any Way You Look at People othing Comes Close Working together to become one, more than seven hundred students and faculty began the first day of school. For these people the year of 1984 was a challenge they would have to meet. Each member, as an individual had his own special challenges, but as a whole we were challenged to meet the students in school spirit which ran high during the year. Teachers overcame this obstacle by sup- porting school spirit both in school and at extra curricular activities. For students there was more than ever before to be done. The introduction of challenged in county-wide sports, music, exams pushed popularity, and teachers harder, academics, the op- who in turn pushed portunities were there and it was up students harder.

The challenges that came were Teachers had the ever-present challenge of teaching but their jobs didn't stop there. They also sponsored clubs so that students could do more than just attend six classes and retire home to homework. Teachers were also RAINING BLISS. Braving the dreary weather, Miss Ann Barringer, cheerleader sponsor and faithful fan, pulls for the Colts against the Mount Pleasant Tigers.
