Academic pro- grams at Southwest were strong enough to create new groups and still maintain the quality reputation ex- pected from Southwest students.

Cherry Blossom Princesses and the MORP are new traditions. Southwest tradition will always be FLYING HIGH! ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Patriots Play With Spirit Southwest's Varsity Football team began the season with high hopes for a victorious year. In the season opener, Southwest showed its spirit in a game with newly formed Benjamin-Banneker out of Atlanta. But the Patriots came up short in overtime, losing to Ban- neker: 1-0 by the penetration rule. In the next game, the Patriots fought it out with the Baldwin Braves, but still came up short with a 14-16 loss to the Braves. The Patriots third game was with Butler from Augusta. Things looked promising for the Pa- triots, but in the final seconds of the game Butler scored a field goal to win 17-14. Although the next few games were disappointing, the Southwest Patriots never lost their spirit and determination which lead the team to their first victory of the season against Northeast. The Pa- triots came out of the game with a win of 26-11. The next Patriot vic- tory came on the night of the South- east game. The Patriots gave their sister school a game to remember by winning 33-0. The Southwest Patri- ots homecoming game was against Hepzibah. The Patriots were victo- rious by a score of 34-0. Southwest played Central for the city championship. The Patriots played their hearts out; but, they missed the victory by three points (17-14) in the final seconds of the game. The Patriots finished with a record of 3 and 7. This seemed to the stat- isticians to be disastrous. But, be- cause of their spirit and teamwork, they were still winners.

Serving as Assistant Principals at Willingham B are Mrs. Jackie Richardson and Mr. Jesse Mays. Ms. Eleanor Sikes also joined the team as an Associate Principal For Instruction at Willingham B. Mr. Charles Rogers replacedMr. Roger Green as vocational supervisor due to the retirement of Mr. Green in the latter part of January. Serving in Willingham A areDr. Columbus Watkins, Prin- cipal andMr. John Grenga, Assistant Principal. As the new Southwest Complex principal, Mr. Gerald Stuart does not feel his new job is any more difficult than his previous position as building principal of McEvoy A. With the added responsibilities of this job, however, it is demanding in many other ways. Mr. Gerald Stuart has strong ties to the school; he has served Southwest High School since 1979 and both his daughters graduated from the school. Mr. Gerald Stuart knows what the Spirit of Southwest means. Leading the Bibb County Public Schools is Super- intendentDr. Thomas E. Hagler. Dr. Hagler has served as superintendent for eight years. A new addition to the Bibb County School System isDr. Thomas Madison who replaced retiredDr. Robert Williams as Deputy Superintendent. In charge of Secondary Education isMr. William E. Bell, As- sistant Superintendent. These educators work hard to guar- antee that Bibb County schools continue to strive for ex- cellence.

I was on my way to school, and a stranger saw the great piece of art work I had done and paid me $150.00. My book got locked in the car. My little brother colored on it. My little brother threw it down the toilet. I made an airplane out of my homework and it was hijacked on my way to class. My homework was impounded by the police. It rained this morning and the words washed off my paper. You did not tell us to do any homework. You said to look at it, and thats exactly what I did. While I was doing my math homework, there was a sudden knock on the door of my home. I went to the door, and there stood the Libyan leader Muammar el-Qadhafi. Qadhafi ordered me to give up my most prized possession or lose my life. Therefore, | felt I should give up my math home- work for my country. Thats why I did not have my homework. I thought it was our assignment for next quarter. My goat ate it. (This was later found to be a true statement.) I had to go to the hospital. When I went to the page you assigned, it was torn out. The batteries went dead in my solar calculator. Just as I was about to do my homework, the power went out.

Undet the direction of Ms. Hill, the teach- ers brought the house down as birds called, turtle doves cooed, pipers piped, and lords lept over each other. Not only were the actions of the ac- tors hysterical, but also the simple fact that the actors were teach- ers. The seniors roared with laughter each time Ms. Wilson tried to hula- hoop the five golden rings and chuckled when Mrs. Bell waddled on to the floor laying an egg. It was the funniest performance ever by the faculty and will be remembered by all seniors long after graduation. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Crossan is the maiden milking the cow.

Even though three advisors and a good portion of the club went to our sister school, the Beta Club had another ban- ner year. During the year, the Beta Club par- ticipated in many activities. In October, the club brought goodies for the teach- ers lounges during American Educa- tion Week. Beta participated in Military Mail Call, sending cards and letters to men overseas, who couldnt come home for the holidays. Once again the South- west Beta Club had more letters than any other Beta Club in the nation. At Easter, the club then prepared Easter baskets for nursing home residents and collected personal hygiene items for the Macon Rescue Mission. The major event of the year was the State Beta Convention in Atlanta in 144 Beta Club February. With the help of 55 dele- gates, Lisa Herring ran an excellent campaign and came away with the title of State Vice-President. Southwest was also represented well in various other competitions. At the Beta Banquet out- standing Beta accomplishments and Senior members were recognized. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Felicia Dail and Heloise Belarmino prepare to deliver Easter baskets.

In a year filled with community activities and the election of Lisa Herring as State Beta Vice- President, the banquet was a fitting end to a super year. Later,in June, the members went to Orlando, Flor- ida, for the National Beta Conven- tion to secure yet another victory the election of Lisa as National Vice- President. Following dinner was the presen- tation of awards. After various awards were presented for projects throughout the year, Lisa Herring was recognized for having been elected State Vice-President and Amy Fincher won the Richard Dunlap Star Award for having the highest score on the S.A.T. During this award presentation a slide show of Amys life was shown. The Senior Spotlight was next where each Beta senior was recognized for their achievements throughout high school. The presentation of the Beta Beagle Awards (for a funny or em- barrassing moment) was made by Judy Moore. The evening concluded with a slide show, arranged by Miss Moore, of the Betas past year.

SPANISH El Club Maravilloso The Spanish Club, led by new Spanish teacher at Southwest, Bar- bara Glover , began its year by at- tending the Spanish Dance Folklor- ica at Mercer. Inspired by pleas on the radio, members wrote heart-felt messages in Spanish to Childs Last Wish where a terminally ill boy in Florida wanted to get into The Guiness Book of World Records for get- ting the most Christmas cards. Sadly, it turned out to be a hoax. TOP: The Spanish Club Officers.

PATRI-ARTICLE Brilliance at Work The staff of the Patri-Article, Southwest's newspaper, had quite an active year. With their advisor, Sue Kalbfleisch, they attended the Geor- gia Scholastic Press Association workshop in Athens to sharpen their skills. They managed to meet their goal of producing five newspapers this year. To publish these five dif- ferent issues, the staff had to raise money. They held two fund-raisers, a candy sale in February and a view- scope sale during November. The staff's hard work paid off at an awards luncheon held in April that honored their dedication and good work.

Ist alto, lets be more agressive! ... Not so loud rythm section! Mr. Jacksons words are hard at times, but his sense for wrong notes and correct sound paid off in the end. When he looked at the gig sched- ule and said Lets do it, they did. On December 15 the Jazz Ensemble began with the Christmas concert. Che band played for the Miss Macon Pageant, the Cherry Blossom Pag- eant, and the Golden Eagle Awards. The ensemble also performed for the Chamber of Commerce at Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras was one big party with clowns, balloons, and paper hats. The band went back to the Au- ditorium to perform for the UNCF Ebony Fashion Fair. At Fort Valley St. College, the band received a su- perior rating in the solo ensemble. May was the final month. The band was ready. They played at Mer- cer University Coop, Art & Jazz Festival at Washington Park, Spring Concert, and the Senior Luncheon. At the ABAC Jazz Festival, the band received a superior rating and best trumpet section. Billy Barron, Matt Miller, and Scott Lawrence were awarded for best solo.

This year had even sweat- ier workouts than ever before. The band drilled and practiced in almost unbearable temperatures dur- ing the summer, striving not only to be the best band in Macon, but the best band ever at Southwest. The band did not only strive for excellence and superiority during football season, but during concert season as well. The Concert Band earned a rating of Excellent for their performance at the Band Festival this year, and the Symphonic Band earned a rating of Superior at their festival.

During Christmas season, the band members collected over 200 cans of food for those who were in need. Ihe band made its annual perfor- mance in the Thomasville Rose Pa- rade. As a reward for a busy year, Mr. Jackson took the band to Day- tona Beach for a little rest and re- laxation.

Nothing could stop, or stall the band this year, the splitting of Southwest did not really affect the Marching Patriots in size, sound, nor in school spirit. The band filled the football stands with ex- \ ; citement and enthusiaism all year, and cheered the team on to victory at every ball game. The bands awesome talent was fur- ther displayed when they were invited to perform during halftime at the Fort Valley Kentucky State football game. The band also marched in Tal- lahassee at the Flordia A & M home- coming parade, and at our very own Cherry Blossom Parade in Macon. Band Members FIRST ROW: A. Cullens, O. Thomas, U. Samples, K.

[hese comments along with good natured snickers were heard at the second annual MORP dance held in the Willingham B Gym on March 2, 1989. Just as MORP is PROM spelled backwards, the concept of the entire evening was to present yourself op- posite of the way you might be at a prom. Friends and couples came dressed in trashy and mixed-matched attire. Others chose to wear wacky shades and anything that had that morpish look. The ambience of the gymnasium was created by good music, not to mention TOILET PAPER!!!

Macons own Cherry Blossom Pag- eant provided that opportunity. Interviews were held the morning of the pageant. Each contestant faced the judges confident and eager to be liked; they strove to leave the judges with a good impression. Later that evening, the Cherry Blossom Pag- eant commenced. After the contes- tants introduced themselves, the most elegant part of the night began. In their most beautiful gowns each contestant told the judges and au- dience a little about herself. It was 212 Cherry Blossom Princess Pageant difficult for the judges, but at last the decisions were made. Three students from Southwest, Joanna Short, Ar- dra Davis, and Nikki Golar, re- ceived the title of Miss Cherry Blos- som Princess. For these three young ladies, their dream came true.

Initially, the day was hot and muggy, but the Patriots carried on. Flower shops, hair salons, and tuxedo rental shops buzzed with anxious students who wanted everything to be perfect. The diligent Prom Committee worked all day with fights and decorations mystically transforming the Macon City Auditorium into a wonderland of pink and white. Juniors and Seniors spent hours primping and preparing. Finally, the night com- menced. Poised couples waltzed into the Audi- torium arm in arm a picture of elegance. Excited couples filled the dance floor as the band played. When the music stopped, everyone looked toward the stage; Lead Out was about to begin. Junior and Senior Student Counci{ members and their dates glided down the ramp as their names were called. Southwest announced their first Prom King and Queen Johnny Mills and Heloise Belarmi- no . The King and Queen began the next dance and were then joined by Student Council members and Seniors as Sheila Bell sang the theme song One Moment in Time.

After the seniors departed, the juniors boarded the buses and attended as guests. The stark emp- tiness at the school was contrasted with the full liveliness at the Audi- torium Among the honors presented, Amy Fincher was recognized as the Star Student for scoring the highest on the S.A.T.; Amy scored 1330. Amy's choice for Star Teacher was Mrs. Gloria Jene Stokes; Mrs. Stokes had been a Latin teacher at South- west and is now teaching at Jon- seboro High school.

They were quickly transported on buses to the Monument Room for the Senior Luncheon. There they were greeted by a light atmosphere which gave them a chance to unwind. While they were enjoying thei meal, they were entertained by the Jazz Ensemble. A hilarious skit, or- ganized by Student Council, followed the meal featuring what they thought would happen at a ten year reunion. After this full day, seniors returned to school. Later that night, they returned for the Senior Dance. Bobs Mobile Sounds provided the music until midnight. TOP,LEFT TO RIGHT; Seniors celebrate.

Since they had been there at 7:00 P.M., their anticipation grew as time drew on. While they were waiting, they looked around for friends; in huddles they relived past memories and discussed future plans. They gave each other hugs and became misty-eyed as the realization that things would never be the same crept into their minds. As the time grew closer, they scram- bled back to their places and were left alone with their own anxious thoughts. Others continued to make sure they looked all right. This night they would finally cross the line that could sever their childhood sec urity. Time drew nearer and nearer. 248 Graduation O = ~ a> > sy pes a pale ni La 250 Graduation The Grand Finale At last, 8:15 p.m. had arrived. The jostling among seniors subsided and was quickly replaced by an air of for- mality. The Coliseum seemed to be- come brighter as the seniors marched in. Pattie Kim opened the ceremony with the Pledge of Al- legience. Naphaphone Thalong- sengchanh, the Senior Class Presi- dent, gave the invocation. The audience was addressed by three speakers: Robbie Guest Valedic- torian, Amy Fincher Salutatori- an, and Marcelles Prather Senior Speaker. The first two speakers were chosen because they had the highest grade point averages and the third speaker was chosen by the senior class. Robbie conveyed the importance of reaching out for dreams; Amy spoke of leaving behind the circle of security, friends, and Southwest and how these past experiences would serve the graduates in the future. Marcelles charged the graduates to respect themselves in order to earn the respect of others. Iris Lavant, the Senior Class Vice-President, closed the ceremony with the bene- diction. Graduation 251 Departure As the graduating class of 1989 recessed from the auditorium, a feel- ing of relief surged through them. Finally, the moment had arrived. They would no longer be thought of as high school students, but as adults, ready to begin their new lives in the real world. Excitement overwhelmed everyone yet a hint of sadness lin- gered. The halls were filled with teary-eyed graduates who grabbed their special friends for one last hug. Each realized that nothing would ever be the same again. After a few heart-felt farewells and best wishes for the future, the graduates parted and began their long journey toward the future. 252 Graduation 254 Closing Year in Review Chis year was full of hope and de- spair, life and death. The democracies of the world rejoiced as the Chinese students gave peaceful pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square, then shook with horror at the massacre shortly after. The Democrats, whose National Convention was held in At- lanta, announced Michael Dukakis as their candidate for President with Loyd Bentsen as Vice-President. The Repub- licans announced their endorsement of George Bush and Dan Quayle for the top positions. The Bush/Quayle team won the election with George Bushs promise for a kinder, gentler nation. Three whales were trapped in Alaskan ice and the United States and Soviet Union worked together with other na- tions to free them. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: The movie The Last Temp- tation of Christ.

Its HARD WORK!! Spirit of '89 got un- derway in June of '88 with the taking of Senior Pictures. In August, some of the staff, the Editor, Pattie Kim, and the advisors, Ms. Virginia Phillips and Ms. Ann Fugate went on to Georgia Tech for the Taylor workshop. At Tech, the Spirit of 89 was born. The theme was chosen and the overall plan was made for the book. Once school began, the staff had new learn. (A gutter is not always something one words to falls into or crawls out of, and a sig- nature does not always mean signing ones name!) There were pictures to take, layouts to draw, new computers and programs to get used to, and most of all DEADLINES TO MEET. But it was done. And now the Spirit of 89 is in the hands of the students. The staff has gone on to other things, but for a few short months they worked hard to produce something very spec ial, a mem- ory book, or a history book of one school year. And now there is a new Staff, and they are learning that a gut- ter is not just something you fall in to or crawl out of ... And, yes, it WAS fun.

The senior An- nual Staff members. What is a yearbook advisor? What is a yearbook advisor? We arent sure, because Spirit is not an ordinary yearbook. In order to continue the tra- dition of producing this award winning book, advisors have to be willing to work many extra hours. We decided to log those extra hours for Spirit of 89. We had over seventy just during the senior pic- tures in June (for the class of 89). When the total passed 300, we decided we didnt really want to know. Whatever the total was, multiply it by two. We have been lucky to have a tradition of hard-working dedicated editors and 266 Advisors staff members over the years. Spirit of 89 was no exception. Pattie Kim clocked al- most as many hours on-the-job as we did and a lot more at home. We arent complaining, though. We LOVE the book. We're very proud of it. We appreciate the hours of leasing and actual effortit takes to put a book like ours in the students hands. There are days when we wonder, Why are we do- ing this? usually when its 8:30 p.m. and we have a deadline. But, in October when that book comes in and we SEE the result of all our efforts, we KNOW and the staff knows. And we are proud. Thanks, staff of the Spirit of 89. You worked hard and you have created a book of which to be proud. Without a doubt, were STILL FLYING HIGH! We love you! Fond Memories Being the Editor of the Spirit of 89 has been the most difficult, time- consuming, challenging task that | have ever undertaken; yet, it has be- come the closest to my heart. The special memories from this year will always remain with me.l LOVED every minute of it... even the dead- lines! When I was first approached to take on this job, I was overwhelmed I never believed that J could really do it. As the book came to a close, it still seemed unreal. I was bombarded with mixed feelings of relief and sad- ness. I witnessed a chapter of my life closing. I received a great deal of help along the way. When things seemed bleakest, and I thought I could never get to the work that had piled up, God gave me the strength and en- ergy to continue. My family showed me love and understanding as my room became a disaster area strewn with balled-up paper, quad-packs, and croppers (thanks Mom and Dad!). Thank you Staff. I will miss you. Each one of you has touched my heart, and you will always be special to me. Special thanks to Doug Har- rison and Robbie Guest, my computer people. Most of all, THANK YOU Ms. Fruitcake and Ms.Phlip an organization truly has no foundation if it doesnt have knowledgeable, caring advisors. Thank you for putting up with me, my questions, and my tendency to for- get things (like on a certain Saturday at 7:00 a.m. when I left the cropper at school). Without you two there would not have been a Spirit of 89. Southwest went through many drastic changes this year. Mrs. Washington re- tired and the school was divided; how- ever, the vital spirit remained. When my staff and I chose Still Flying High for this books theme, we wanted to in- corporate that idea that we still had the spirit and that it still affects all aspects of Southwest life. Through all the changes, we have remained together, and we are STILL FLYING HIGH! Editors page 267 IN MEMORY OF LORENZA THOMAS AND MICHAEL FELTS Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
