At the other end of the camera for a change, Jay Massengill enjoys his summer vacation. Summertime’s Calling Me The cars are already packed and ready to go as the final bel l rings, ending school. Everyone heads for the beach—Ocean Drive—for a few weeks of carefree fun. Sand and salty water is all the students want to worry about after the long school year. Laying out in the sun and hunting the opposite sex fill their days. A popular hangout, the Sea Spray Motel, houses many Williams students and gives them a little Burlington at the beach. Their evenings are filled with trips to local night spots, like Zack’s, the After-Deck, and going to Toga Parties. Skiing at the beach, David Wilson shows off his skill. Our most popular chaperone, JoElla Jordan gets a mud-pack. 12 Summer

What goes on UNDER THE Wh £ lat do Christmas ornaments have to do with seashells, palm trees, and boardwalks? Nothing much to the average person, but members of the WHS class of 81 will immediately see a close connection. The class con¬ ducted a highly successful fund-raising campaign during the 1979 Christmas season, collecting over three thou¬ sand dollars from the sale of Christmas tree ornaments. Because of the success of their sale, the class was able to rent the Alamance Country Club for the 1980 prom. This was the first time in the history of the school that the affair was held here, thanks to Mrs. Janice Pulliam, who convinced the board of directors to allow students to use the newly renovated club. Using the theme “Under the Boardwalk,” class members constructed palm trees and beach props at Mary Ann Register’s house. The boardwalk itself belonged to the Dr. Galen Moser family, parents of Meg Moser. Students disassembled, carted it to the Country Club, and reassembled it. Mrs. Nancy Garner, faculty advisor for the decora¬ tions, ordered candles in real seashells to center the tables, collected plants from parents and friends, borrowed a large Hawaiian clam shell from Mrs. Reid Maynard and driftwood from Mr. George Keck. Mr. Barry Jetter, a local florist, arranged the centerpiece on the refreshment table. Mrs. Margaret Jackson and Miss Nancy Blue arranged the table decorations. Mr. Henry Klaiber served as overall faculty advisor for the occasion. Class president Janine Gantt helps Gay Lee and Julie Long wrap burlap sacks around cardboard poles. Assembling palm trees at the country club, Chris Bigelow and Keane Gantt struggle with last minute prepara¬ tions. Building a palm tree requires more skill than meets the eye from Julie Long, Miss Blue, and Janine Gantt. Utterly exhausted after weeks of preparation, Mr. Henry Klaiber, prom advisor, collapses at the country club. 14 Prom
