MOONSHINE
By TERA DAYE TAYLOR
& CYNTHIA ROGERS BREWER
We, Cindy B. and Tera T., do hereby give
to the seniors the gifts that their per
sonalities have earned them. The mem
ories that are left to us are in the form of
descriptive adjectives. Adjectives that are
not “very” typical or common because the
class of ’87 is not typical or common. We
hope the gifts are accepted with good
humor and are used in the future. . .
GIFTORIAN FROM 1957

CLASS POEM
Our high school days are o’er.
We’re stepping out on our own.
As we finally go through the door.
We realize our childhood is gone.
Oh, the fun we all had here —
Classes, parties, and all!
Some of that math is still not clear
And paper is still in the hall.
Subjects and verbs and all that stuff
Are cluttering up our minds.
Can we never forget this grammar
so tough
And relief from this torture find?
I’m sure all who took it will agree
Chemistry is truly a tale of woe.
We can’t even remember, you see,
Whether water is H02or H2O.
French brought agony to our brain
As we struggled with avoir and etre.
Mr. McGuire was heard to say, not in vain,
“If you don’t get your homework,
you’d ‘bettre’.”
Now that the struggle is nearly done
And we’ll soon be saying good-bye.
We know that we’ve really had fun
Although we thought we would die.
We’ll never forget our friends so dear
And teachers who’ve been so kind.
The many fond memories we
gathered here
Will always remain in our minds.
—Lulabelle Smith, 1957

THE INSIDERS:
Margaritaville
Michael and Adam prepare for their “rendezvous with pleasure.”
After a long, hard year at school, most students feel a strong need to escape all
the hassles of ordinary life and where better to run than Myrtle Beach. Near the end
of school, homework is forgotten and plans are concocted for a rendezvous with
pleasure. So when the departure date arrives, students and former students pack up
the rattiest car they can find and set out on the long awaited journey. The trip down
takes about 30 minutes and you better enjoy every minute of it because the trip back
takes about five hours. Once you actually see the ocean, the juices really begin to
flow and uncontrollable urges come over your body. The hotel, a.k.a. rat trap, where
you made your reservations, appears to be a ritzy chalet where your fun is head
quartered. Once in your living quarters, merely go about being a slob; after all,
that’s all that’s expected of you anyway.
Now that you’re at the beach, what do you do . . . anything you want to as long as
you avoid the law. An encounter with the law most often ends the joys of summer so
avoid such extracurricular activities which may attract such unwanted attention.
Your first day on the sand will probably result in some unwanted ailments. Sun
burn, the most common ailment, hurts for a few days and requires special care.
Crotch rot, which results from the friction of sand and salt in your bathing suit, must
be treated by an adjustment in your walk. Simply imagine you’re in diapers and
soon the friction will cease. Finally, raft burn, only suffered by rafters, mainly oc
curs in males. The canvas of the raft creates an abnormal pain in the upper pec
torals and hurts for days. Enjoy the raft while you can. Your first ride will probably
be your last.
Throughout the week make the most of your freedom. Be sure to take few show
ers; bathing takes time. Sleep should be avoided altogether, which goes without say
ing. Eating takes time, too much time, so to avoid unnecessary time loss, take plen
ty of peanut butter; it’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s nutritious.
As for attire, three or four bathing suits should suffice and a fresh change of un
derwear is always nice. Anything else is strictly for your mother’s satisfaction. Oh
yeah, a shirt may also come in handy for restaurants, sunburn, or raft burn.
In the end you will leave unwillingly, but with a feeling of extreme satisfaction
. . . hopefully.
Oh! Just one last item of interest, we have been pondering the question for a
long time and just cannot decide, so Jim Cummings, for curiosity’s sake ... Is Life
Really A Beach!?!

Advice From
Class of ’86
By BETH GOODMAN
Soon, the 1987 graduating class will be
looking back on graduation. We talked
with some 1986 graduates and asked them
to give this year’s seniors some advice
about graduation!
Abbey Liles now attends the American
School of Business and Fashion in Char
lotte. Abbey wanted this year’s seniors to
remember not to be influenced by your
friends and parents. Choose what’s right
for yourself and not for someone else.
A freshman at UNCC this year, Cindy
Lorch said, “Be open about the upcoming
and new experiences that are fixing to hap
pen.”
Last year’s student body president,
Jennifer Maiden, now attends UNCC.
Jennifer remembers the big change from
high school to college but her senior year
with her friends was something she
wouldn’t forget.
Jennifer Hunsucker, who now attends
Stanly Technical College, learned that you
must take on the responsibility in differing
between your time spent studying while
also your enjoying yourself in the “best
years of your life.”
