They would ruin everything. Everyone knew three classes were just right! Four would be terrible! But, no one listened, and, suddenly, there they were, 501 screaming, giggling, excited freshmen. Could “A Full House Beat Three Of A Kind?” We were about to find out. At first, there were some obvious problems: longer lunch lines, sardinedike halls, two pep rallies, and crowded classes. But, surprisingly, those problems were quickly solved, anc gradually, we began to realize the freshmen wei a plus. They boosted sales of activity cards almo! 100 per cent. They joined teams and club: increased enrollment in band, chorus, an NJROTC, and their enthusiasm was contagiou: The Junior Varsity cheerleaders were th first to make everyone sit up and take notice c the freshmen. They won the Randy Neil Awar for Excellence and a check for $500 for ne uniforms at summer camp. continued on page 5 THOSE LONG LINES! Patience definitely was a virtue as Heather Fuller, Lisa Jones, Amy Staton, Kim Connor, Lisa Brown, and Jody Hughes wait to get their schedules the first day of school. SIGNING IN: Christy Hill cracks a smile as she takes a break from signing a friend’s yearbook during the first week of school. Opening • - ALL WRAPPED UP: DEC A members Mary Byrn and Tina Teichmann cover Mike Green’s textbooks as part of the club’s first school-wide project. “HEY, NOT BAD!” George Cunningham, Richard Belisle, Michael Spencer, and Mike Annis good- naturedly discuss the quality of school lunches and life at KHS during their lunch period. Opening WARRIORS! The ninth grade chorus, the Choral- iers, show their enthusiasm for finally being a part of high school by shouting “Warriors” in unison. The chorus was a new addition to the Music Department’s curriculum. PIZZA TIME: Bob Cleveland, Allen Wilson, Jenny Gamming, Shelly Spencer, and Chad Ritenour enjoy each other’s company and the pizza at a local Pizza Hut. Opening freshmen surprise upperclassmen continued from page 2 “The J.V. squad makes all the difference in the world. They are the best that I’ve worked with in a long time,” said Ms. Donna Stephens, cheerleading sponsor. The Debate Team gained a junior varsity chapter, and 45 ninth graders formed a chorus called the “Choraliers.” “They really work well with me and they are a nice group of kids,” said Choral Director Ms. Betsy Forrest. Some too small to be fitted for uniforms, 40 freshmen swelled the ranks of NJROTC cadets and quickly learned how the Navy did it. The unit won first place in the Phoebus Day Parade, October 12. Everything was fun for the freshmen. Halls were plastered with signs for freshmen candidates for class officers, they slaved over their third place float in the Homecoming Parade, and they exhibited great school spirit during Spirit Week, placing second in class competition. Maybe nobody liked the deal, but once the cards were in play, it was obvious that “A Full House Beats Three Of A Kind.” ONE! TWO! THREE! Drum Major Pam Hollis cues the band to begin its next selection, the Beach Boys’ hit, “Barbara Ann,” while mascot Michael Wilson steadies the platform.

Joan Eaton, Wendy Manley, Celia Wine celebrity A Ido Celia, and Leigh Harrison pose for the photographer during Bay Day festivities. The freshmen also got Celia’s autograph. Opening It was hot! It was also time to ante up! Time to prepare for September 3 when 501 freshmen, 483 sophomores, 445 juniors, and 373 seniors would fill the house. But, it was hot! So hot that any exertion left you dripping and exhausted. The thermometer soared to a whopping 97 degrees, but out on the practice field the football team ran endless drills accompanied by the strident sounds of clarinets, trumpets, flutes, and the roll of drums as the marching band sweltered in the August heat. Cheerleaders, fresh from summer camp competition, practiced their award winning routines under the broiling sun, then collapsed under a welcome shade tree to slack their thirst with cool drinks. Inside and out, custodians, teachers, and administrators prepared for the onslaught. Lockers were painted in bright crayon colors, walls sandblasted, floors waxed and mopped, books unpacked, desks cleaned out, bulletin boards created, and reams of paper consumed by the copier as teachers prepared handouts. An orientation was held for new students August 30. At 3 p.m. that Friday, the building emptied, to rest and wait throughout the Labor Day weekend for the full house of students expected September 3. continued on page 9 FRESHMAN DAZE!

Sweltering in the heat wave, band members practice the correct marching forma¬ tion during pre-school drills in the student parking lot. The band practiced in August. Opening D continued from page 7 When the doors opened that Tuesday, bodies poured into the halls. It was still hot, and students complained bitterly about the “no shorts” mandate. The roar of Pentran busses and the bustling student parking lot signalled the return to school. Students congregrated in the cafeteria looking for homeroom assignments. Friends embraced and arranged to meet in the parking lot after school. In homeroom, everyone compared schedules and exchanged information. Juniors and seniors who had picked up the ’85 TOMAFIAWK in August rushed to obtain — signatures from their friends. The first class of ninth graders in the school’s history was a curiosity. Upperclassmen helped frustrated freshmen and sophomores find their way to class, lunch, and the “pool,” and aided in opening lockers. In each class, teachers handed out rules and guidelines, and administrators and guidance personnel handled the problems, scheduling, and changes that arose. According to Assistant Principal Larry Waddell, it was “a smooth transition and efficient opening.” The cards had been dealt. The careful player could already see that a full house would beat three of a kind. “THIS IS GREA T!” Mike Larkin, Allen Glover, Robb Lanum, David Jones, and Tony Spunzo show Campus Life Director John Poh a copy of the 1985 TOMAHAWK, a trophy winner. INJURIES ALREADY? James Hall, James Brown, and Antoine Clark aid injured varsity players Art Hickler and Lawrence Kirk while John Waltz watches practice from the sideline. Opening Students enjoy interaction with more friends; Enthusiastic freshmen add zest to life JACKPOT At last sophomores had someone to pick on and upperclassmen could blame everything on the freshmen as students hit the jackpot in student life. More people meant more spirit, and more interaction of students in their day to day pursuit of interests. Freshmen added a float to the Homecoming Parade and surpassed all other classes in their display of spirit during Spirit Week. Enthusiastic freshmen supported everything from Campus Life to Faculty Frolics. Student life became more school oriented as the underclassmen made their presence known. It was different, but clear, that “A Full House Beats Three of a Kind.” A FULL HOUSE BEATS THREE OF A KIND Student Life Divider FRIENDSHIP: Elizabeth Chis- man, Ingrid Olson, Ken Hat- chett, and Ansley Emory re¬ unite on their last, first day of high school.

Student Life Divider Pageant; dance, parade highlight gala weekend; Wampler reigns as Miss hoebus “Phoebus, Virginia? Where is that? Who ever heard of Phoebus?” Ask any resident of this tiny community, population 4,500 in its heyday, and he will tell you it’s “Home Sweet Home.” Best known as the site of “Eat Dirt Cheap at Fuller’s,” Phoebus was an independent community with its own mayor, post office, and school board until the early 50’s when the City of Hamp¬ ton annexed Phoebus. But, citizens of Phoebus and their descendants have not forgotten the “good ole days” and celebrate their heritage during “Phoebus Days.” Phoebusites demonstrate their allegiance and devotion to their home town each fall, and they do it up right. “It was a truly festive occasion,” said former Cho¬ ral Director Lucile Sutterer, a resident of Phoebus. “I was proud of all the Kecoughtan students.” Beginning with a pageant and dance Friday night in the historic Chamberlin Hotel, the Phoebus Days festivities culminated in a Fish Fry Sunday afternoon. Church groups and civic organizations set up booths on Mellen Street to sell crafts, and many citizens participat¬ ed in sporting events and a marathon. Reigning over the festivi¬ ties as Miss Phoebus ’85 was 16-year-old senior Laura Wampler. “The Phoebus Days’ week end has always been a part of our family. Since I can remember, we have attended the festivities and parade. I hope that by being crowned Miss Phoebus, I can meet new friends and help to keep the Phoebus Days’ tradition alive and well,” said Wam¬ pler. The highlight of the three day celebration was a stirring parade, the largest in history, Saturday morning. Led by Grand Marshall Ralph Ben- thall, a former school board member, the parade includ¬ ed marching bands and ROTC units from all area high schools. “Best in the Parade” was earned by the KHS NJROTC Unit. “The first place trophy we received was especially grati¬ fying since half of the partici¬ pants were new ninth and tenth graders. This was their first parade,” said Com¬ mander Beale Kinsey. A larger and snappier band also took part in the Phoebus Parade. “The band looked good and sounded great! The ninth graders, as well as the upper¬ classmen, have added a great amount of spirit to the band,” said Band Director Paul Ferguson, of the mem¬ bers of the marching band.

Phoebus Days Parade of sails, balloons signal three days of fun; Hamptonians salute the “It was a smash,” said senior Scott Bridegam about Hampton’s Bay Day celebra¬ tion. Booms from 10 cannons, balloons, and bustle marked the opening of the three day event September 13. A trib¬ ute to the Chesapeake Bay, the celebration was highlight¬ ed by musical entertainment, displays of crafts by Hamp¬ ton citizens, seafood delica¬ cies, and sports contests, including a 10 kilometer road race. The festivities began on Friday with the release of 5,000 colorful ballons into the sky over the Chesapeake Bay. The helium filled de¬ lights drew a large crowd to King Street Pier. Afterwards, a gentle gust aided a fleet of friendly boats in its mock cannon attack on the city, commemorating the Monitor and Merrimack Civil War Battle. The same breezes that launched ships also wafted the rich aroma of crab cakes and beer over the estimated crowd of 235,00 people. Saturday evening, local favorite “Boom Boom” Zam- belli provided the climax of Bay Days. In an array of color and explosion, Zambelli launched fireworks over the WATERSKIERS: Despite the chilly temperature of the Hamp¬ ton River, the Colonial Water Ski Club performs for the crowd at Bay Days, September 14.

Bay Days Hampton River at 9 p.m. “The fireworks and music were awesome,” exclaimed junior Robb Lanum. Radio Station Z-104 ac¬ companied the flamboyant presentation with a selection of popular music. “Everyone just danced to the bands or socialized,” said junior Billy Brown. “Satur¬ day was one big party.” Bay Days concluded, ap¬ propriately, in the Chesa¬ peake Bay with the Parade of Sails. At 3 p.m. Sunday, a fleet of local sailboats, includ¬ ing the historical Discovery, filed into the sparkling Bay, to cap the event.

BEACHCOMBERS: Wendy Richard and Steve Whitney stroll on the beach at Grand¬ view while waves crash against the sea wall. The hurricane’s powerful winds whipped up waves, but there was little floo¬ ding or damage. “Have you heard? It’s the biggest storm to ever head for the East Coast!” “Weather forecasters are predicting winds of 150 miles an hour!” “It’s going to hit us head on! We’ll all be flooded out at high tide.” Panic took over the after¬ noon of September 26 as, increasingly, dire predictions of what Hurricane Gloria would do to the area were circulated at school. Outside, it was already threatening. High winds and rain, the forefront of the hurricane, increased the tension inside the building. “Because of the imminent danger of Hurricane Gloria, there will be no school tomor¬ row,” said Principal Dennis Gillikin, speaking to the en¬ tire school on the public address system during sixth period. At the final bell, everyone dashed for home to assist in preparations for the disaster. Windows were boarded up, valuables stored in high places, lawn furniture and trash cans secured, water bottles filled, candles and batteries assembled. The stores were jammed with people getting last min¬ ute supplies. Bread dis¬ appeared from shelves, milk was a premium item, and flashlight batteries were im¬ possible to find. At home, those with power sat glued to television sets. Every 30 seconds or so, a news flash would inform everyone of the progress of the storm. “The eye of the hurricane should be over the Hampton Roads area early tomorrow morning,” predicted the newscaster. Many citizens in low-lying areas evacuated to one of the schools designated as hurri¬ cane shelters. “I must say that I found it terribly boring. It was almost unbearable,” said junior Kathie Krumpen, who spent the night with her family at Thomas Eaton Junior High School. “I spent most of the night worrying about what was happening outside or at home. I got to see some friends which made it easier to take, and I also met some new people. It made things more exciting,” she explain¬ ed. Getting to sleep that Thursday night was not easy. “I really couldn’t get much sleep. I kept worrying about what the storm was going to do,” said junior Sara Sawyer. At approximately 5 a.m., Gloria struck. But, by a miracle, the eye of the hurri¬ cane swerved seaward, and the area was spared the full force of the storm. Rain fell and winds of up to 75 miles per hour lashed at the area, but the expected flooding and devastation never oc¬ curred. “I expected my boat to get blown away, but nothing severe really happened. It just got wet,” said senior Azi Talibi. There was, of course, some damage. Trees were uprooted and fell on cars and houses. Many families were without electricity or a tele¬ phone for most of Friday, a beautiful, clear, sun shiny day that turned out to be an unexpected holiday from school. “We shafted the school system. The sun was out and the waves were up. It was a ripper!” laughed senior Wade Barber. For most Hamptonians, complaints were limited to debris and trash in yards. For once, raking up leaves and pine needles and picking up fallen tree limbs was not so bad. Hurricane Gloria had been a good girl and passed, venting her anger on Rhode Island and New York, before moving out to sea. Hurricane Gloria Three day Spirit Week builds class competition; all join in a display of Spirit spir-at n. 1. An emotion, frame of mind, or inclination governing one’s actions; as in WARRIOR SPIRIT! Although only three days long because of the end of a marking period and teacher work days, Spirit Week, October 28-30, was a wel¬ come break from the normal routine. Beginning with Twins Day on Monday, spirit and class competition rea¬ ched its peak on Wednesday, Costume Day. “The freshmen were ahead all week,” said Mrs. Sue Smith, sponsor of FHA, who faithfully registered class participation daily on the Spirit Thermometers in the cafeteria. “Then, on the last day, the pint seniors rallied and edged into first place,” said Mrs. Smith. “They were definitely first, but the freshmen deserve a lot of praise for their efforts,” she added. Twins Day gave close friends and couples a chance to duplicate their outfits. The most outstanding effort was put forth by seniors Jenny Gamming and Cherry Mayo who dressed as black and white mimes. Fifties Day gave everyone, including teachers, a chance to emulate the “Happy Days” crowd. Poodle skirts, bobby sox, rolled up jeans and Fonzie look-alikes were part of the scene. By Wednesday, almost everyone had caught the spirit and showed up in their Halloween costume a day early. Clowns, spooks, witches, Cookie Monster, Gumby, and Alfalfa roamed the halls. “Even though Spirit Week was only three days long, it was fun to see people dress up in their cute costumes,” said junior Sandy Disney. By the end of the day on Wednesday, the Spirit Ther¬ mometers registered the win¬ ners. Seniors were first, fol¬ lowed closely by the fresh¬ men. Sophomores placed third and juniors placed fourth. “We oughta do this more often,” exclaimed senior John Wallace, who was dres¬ sed in a flashy suit. “Too bad I can only get away with this on Spirit Week.” HAVING FUN: Melinda Riffe, COOKIE MONSTER: Dressed Melissa Riffe, Pam Chisman, as a favorite character from and Rhonda Collier catch the “Sesame Street,” Valerie Keys photographer’s attention on is all business as she concen- Costume Day. trates on a drill in typing class. 18 Spirit Week THE BEST OF FRIENDS: Cherry Mayo and Jenny Gamming took advantage of Twins Day during Spirit Week to dress as twin black and white mimes.

Spirit Week 19 - Parade, halftime program highlight Homecoming; Vivian Burchett reigns as ueen Sandwiched between the White Band and the Green Band, spirited students, dec¬ orated floats, cars and trucks wound their way from City Hall down Armistead Ave¬ nue to Darling Stadium on a damp, blustery Saturday af¬ ternoon. In the damp air, teeth- chattering students and fans waited for the flags of the ROTC Color Guard to herald the approach of the Home¬ coming parade. Arriving at the muddy field, parade units dispersed in anticipation of the 4 p.m. Homecoming game kickoff against the York High Falcons. A hoped for victory, how¬ ever, was not to be. Although senior running back and de¬ fensive back Ralph Brown played an outstanding game, scoring one touchdown and exciting the crowd with long yardage gains, a Falcon field goal crushed the Warriors’ hopes for a win. “We should have won the game,” said senior lineback¬ er Tracy Tobias. “But our penalties and mistakes did us in.” The highlight of the game was halftime when the Home¬ coming Court was presented. Representatives from each class and escorts walked under the crossed swords of the NJROTC Honor Guard to the middle of the field to await the crowning of the Queen by Inter-Club Council President Yvonne Hatfield. Freshmen class attendants were Shawn Tarver and Dawn Pabst. Sophomore at¬ tendants were Kelli Keeter and Jenny Kersis. Junior attendants, Yvette Cormier and Chelie Stubblebine, pre¬ ceded the three senior atten¬ dants, Myrtle Thomas, Viv¬ ian Burchett, and Ingrid Ol¬ son, onto the field. “The Homecoming Queen for 1985 is Vivian Burchett,” announced Hatfield. “I consider being crowned queen a great honor,” said Burchett. Another treat during half¬ time was inner band competi¬ tion. The two bands, Green led by Head Drum Major Pam Hollis and White led by Drum Major Lydia Martin, performed separately for judges. Based on perform¬ ance and appearance, top recognition was awarded to the White Band. The traditional battle of the classes in float competi¬ tion was next. Each class had built a float depicting the 1985 Homecoming theme, “Endangering the Falcons.” Juniors went wild when their float won, shattering a senior tradition. Seniors were in second place, freshmen in third, and sophomores in fourth. Although the game was lost, Homecoming was a day to be proud and spirited. “There was a lot more participation than in recent years. I thought it was a grand success,” said SCA sponsor and Homecoming activities coordinator Mr. Wil¬ liam Cawley.

Despite Brown’s efforts, the final score was 7-10. HOMECOMING QUEEN: Vivian Burchett and escort Les Gordon share a moment in the spotlight during the halftime presentation. Burchett, a varsity cheerleader, was the 1985 Queen. Homecoming Each Thursday night at 7:27 p.m., a mob surrounded the Willow Oaks Community Center to await the start of another Campus Life meet¬ ing. “Director John Poh takes charge,” said sophomore Frances Bennett. “We usual¬ ly have a few skits and then John gives a devotional. Af¬ ter that, we go to Gus’s. It’s fun,” she said. Club members kept busy by participating in the weekly meetings, playing flag foot¬ ball and coed softball, and attending special functions like the Burger Bash and a ski trip. “The Burger Bash was the first Campus Life activity I Campus Life membership provides fun; friendship; Activities include Burger ash went to, said Bennett. “The hamburgers were brought in on a bulldozer. It was so much fun,” she said. The Living End Ski trip to Allentown, Pennsylvania at¬ tracted 700 hundred mem¬ bers from high schools in five states. “We had four days of skiing in the Poconoes,” ex¬ plained sophomore Patrick O’Keefe. “If you didn’t want to ski, you had lots of other activities to do, like go bowl¬ ing, eat in one of the tons of restaurants, or go shopping in the Lehigh Valley Mall. The whole weekend was a lot of fun,” said O’Keefe. With the addition of a freshman class, the member¬ ship in Campus Life greatly increased. “I’m really excited about that,” said Poh. “I think they felt a little out of place last year and now that they are in high school, they feel more comfortable,” he explained. Campus Life, a branch of Youth for Christ, stressed wholesome living and person¬ al faith for its teenage mem¬ bers nationwide. Kecough- tan’s chapter was one of the largest. “When you go to Campus Life, you know you are going to be with friends,” said sophomore Karen Stern. “That’s what it’s all about, sharing good times with peo¬ ple who share your ideals.” FOOD AND FUN: Yuko Inoue KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL! and Andreas Liss-Daniels en- Campus Life members play joy hamburgers and soft drinks volleyball with a beach ball at at the annual Burger Bash. the annual Fall Burger Bash. 22 Campus Life RAINING PING PONG BALLS: Campus Life members listen to Director John Poh as he ex¬ plains how the ping pong air¬ plane drop works.

Boxing chicken and pizza , bagging burgers and fries is ' life in the fast food ane’ “Flame broiled” burgers, dripping with a “secret sauce and lined in rows under glowing heat lamps, awaited hungry customers. More often than not, a teenager dashed between the customer and the kitchen filling bags with golden, greasy fries, bagging burgers, and pouring soft drinks to fill the orders. For those teen¬ agers on the busy side of the counter, it was “life in the fast food lane.” Eating establishments pro¬ vided many students with an extra income to pay for car expenses, clothes, and enter¬ tainment. But, “life in the fast food lane” was not easy. “It makes me really mad when I’ve made plans to go out with my boyfriend and I look at the schedule at work and I end up having to work the entire weekend,” said senior Cammy Fleming, who worked at Pizza Hut. “Sometimes it’s rough to choose between calling in sick to go out with friends, or keeping an obligation at work,” she explained. For others, boxing chicken and delivering pizzas occu¬ pied their working hours. Some students, still in the fast food lane, donned aprons and dished up plates of food in the kitchen to satisfy custom¬ ers who wanted orders “on the double.” Long working hours in the “fast food lane” meant that grades often suffered. “When progress reports came out and mine were not so hot, my parents warned me that school was my first priority,” said junior Chelie Stubblebine. For most fast food work¬ ers, the greatest reward was a paycheck. “Money is my first priori¬ ty,” said junior John Gray. “Definitely money before schoolwork,” he added. Others discovered addi¬ tional rewards. “Generally, I enjoy work¬ ing,” said senior Patrick Lar¬ kin. “I get to meet friendly people and I also have a little power around the store since I have worked there almost two years,” he explained. “I enjoy helping people and fast food service is a great way to do it,” added Larkin. Fast food restaurants were many students’ first experi¬ ence with business. Fast Food Students spend weekends ' hanging out ' or ' cruising ' in an endless pursuit of un “Hangin g out” with friends, “cruising” the streets in search of excite¬ ment, or getting together at a party on the weekend were all part of students’ endless pusuit of fun. During school hours, stu¬ dents hung out at “the wall,” a favorite haunt for people watchers. “Where are you going this weekend?” “What’s happen¬ ing Friday night?” Or, “Hey, I’ll pick you up at six,” were typical fragments of conver¬ sation overheard in the hall. Friday was the most im¬ portant day of the week for making plans. All 65 x 2 hours of another glorious weekend loomed ahead. Dinner at Burger King or Pizza Hut was often a beginning. “We would contemplate whether we were in the mood for pizza or hamburgers. Then we’d argue about what to order, what time to leave, and where we were going next. It was usually a great way to start the weekend,” explained senior Tracy McPherson. “Cruising” was another way to begin the weekend. Driving around with your friends, looking for a party or something to do, could some¬ times be a blast. A carload of females, figuring there was safety in numbers, might pursue a “hot” sports car. “You see the car first, and it is hot! At the stop light, you pull up next to him and he looks fine! When he opens his mouth to say something, you decide that he’s an incredible jerk, so you lose him and wait for the next one,” said senior Robin Burroughs. Most devotees of the search for fun were looking for a party. The long hunt sometimes paid off when they spotted a line of familiar cars parked in front of so¬ meone’s house. The unsus¬ pecting host might wind up with more than he she bar¬ gained for. “The strangest people showed up at my party,” said senior Azi Talibi. “There were some people I knew, some I’d never met, and some 1 didn’t care to meet.” Those not successful in the party hunt went to late night movies, or to Hardees for a midnight snack. Then, it was home and to bed. After all, Saturday was another day for fun. CRUISIN’AROUND TOWN: Cars were a “must” for students’ extra-curricular activities.

The teacher’s comments fade to indistinguishable mumblings. Suddenly, a low grumbling is heard echoing across the room. Then anoth¬ er. The minutes tick away. Students fidgit at their desks. The clock strikes 12 and the bell rings, signaling the begin¬ ning of 45 minutes of relax¬ atio n - the best period of the day - LUNCH! At the sound of the bell, at 11 or 12, students made a mad dash for the cafeteria in order to beat the long lines. The majority of students ate the “usual,” a cheeseburger, salad or pizza. However, a few daring students took advantage of the hot plate lunch, feasting on meals of spaghetti and roast turkey. An all time favorite was the chicken filet sandwich. “1 don’t eat school lunch unless it’s the chicken sand¬ wich,” said freshman Saqib Talibi. Lunch also presented stu¬ dents with an extra study time to finish assignments Cheeseburgers, taco salad provide an alternative to standard school menus at uncli and cram for exams. “Lunch was made for 5th and 6th period homework. Without it, I would have failed both classes,” said freshman Joan Eaton. The best lunch time enter¬ tainment was the latest, juici¬ est gossip. Who was dating whom? The essay for the government test, and where the latest party could be found were regular lunch table topics. “I would be homebound all weekend if it weren’t for Friday’s lunch. I get all of my information there,” said se¬ nior Jannie East. For the elite few with cars, lunch at McDonald’s, Har¬ dees, or Taco Bell was a favorite, illegal alternative. Although against school poli¬ cy, students were willing to take the risk and leave for variety’s sake. “Lunch at Hardees is so much calmer. There’s no hustle and bustle like in the cafeteria,” said junior Brid- gette Tellinger. In observance of holidays, the Food Service staff pre¬ pared special meals, such as “witchburgers,” “Thanks¬ giving dinner with all the trimmings,” and Christmas cookies and cakes. On alternating Wedn es¬ days, taco salad or baked potatoes were featured on the salad bar. Students lined up outside of the cafeteria doors for these delights. The new hamburger stand also drew large crowds when other choices were undesir¬ able. “1 live for Wednesdays. The taco bar really perks me up. It’s almost like Taco Bell, except you don’t have to pay as much,” said sophomore Sean Barber. Then there were those who lived close enough to school to go home for lunch. “School lunch is too much of a hassle and fast food is too expensive. So, I just go home, turn on the T.V. and snooze for awhile!” said junior David Rhodes. IT’S IN THE BAG! Bryant Ma- jette and Steve Ricks savor the last morsel of their bag lunches.

The more we spend on each other, the richer we become.’’ Author un known What was a friend? Ask any students and you re¬ ceived some thoughtful an¬ swers. “It’s hard to explain exact¬ ly what a friend is. A friend is someone who is always there - through thick and thin. They’re always there for you to share your joys and sorrows and you are always there for them. Life wouldn’t be complete without them,” said junior Meg Gorski. “Friends make every day go by a little easier,” said senior Tim Edgette. “Most of my friends are wild, crazy, funny, and very, very strange, just like me. That’s probably why we’re friends,” said senior Court¬ ney Faxon. “Friends, friends, friends! Thank God for friends! Some¬ Sometimes the only ones who really understand are those students call best riends times they are the only peo¬ ple that understand,” said sophomore Eric Smith. “A friend is someone you can talk to when you need advice or a little cheering up. Some problems just can’t be discussed with adults. That’s when you turn to a friend,” said sophomore Whitney Bartlett. The routine of school was often tolerable only because it was an opportunity to be with friends. Whether in class, at lunch, or before and after school, contact with friends was the most impor¬ tant part of the day. “If you don’t have your friends, then what do you have?” asked junior Chris Darlington. According to Mr. Howard Booker, Student Assistance Counselor, friends were the most important influence on a student’s life. For some, friendship rip¬ ened into something deeper - a first love, or, sometimes, a lasting relationship. “Boyfriends are the best friends you can have. Some¬ one who can be your best friend, but also can be your date for the Prom,” said junior Julie Burch. “Four of my close friends are ‘best’ friends, but my number one ‘best friend’ is my boyfriend,” said junior Shelly Lawrence. Were friends always true? “You have friends and then you have friends,” said junior Christy Hill. “I consid¬ er a lot of people friends because they’re okay, but real friends are ones you can always count on.” “If it wasn’t for my friends, I wouldn’t have enemies. Life wouldn’t be interesting or any fun at all without them,” said junior Lee Winkleman. “Friends make life interest- • _ yy ing.

S MERRY CHRISTMAS HAMP¬ TON: Band members display Christmas greetings during the Hampton Christmas Parade. IS ANYBODY HUNGRY? The German Club contributed an abundance of food for needy families during the Thanks¬ giving Basket project. The club won first place for its efforts. Holidays As fall fell into winter and the holiday season ap¬ proached, students fell into the habit of sharing with and giving to those less fortunate. The first project was the annual SCA Thanksgiving basket contribution from clubs and organizations. Over twenty baskets, filled to the brim with canned and boxed goods, were donated by clubs and organizations to the Peninsula Rescue Mis¬ sion. A $100 check was also presented to supplement the baskets. “The SCA’s -ICC Thanks¬ giving project was very suc¬ cessful. The baskets were large and many people bene¬ fited from the students’ generosity,” said Mr. William Cawley, SCA sponsor. Top recognition went to the German Club for “Most Food” and to the Class of ’89 for “Most Creative.” Everyone got into the act at Christmas time. The band Students fill baskets, contribute money to celebrate the holiday pirit and NJROTC unit participat¬ ed in the Hampton Christmas Parade and choral groups added music to the holiday atmosphere. The annual Christmas Concert, December 12, fea¬ tured the A Cappella Choir, Harbor Lights, the Mixed Chorus, a Touch of Jad e, and, performing for the first time, the ninth grade chorus, The Choraliers. “They sing very well,” said a proud Choral director Ms. Betsy Forrest. “They are a very talented group and often rehearse their music A Cappella.” SCA projects included re¬ viving the Door Decoration Contest, visiting the Vet¬ erans’ Hospital and the Hampton Convalescent Cen¬ ter. Winners of the Door Deco¬ ration Contest were A-3, Ms. Laura Cooley’s algebra class “Most Creative,” and the Kiva, NJROTC, “Most Holi¬ day Spirit.” “I felt that this year’s Christmas projects helped to bring out the true feeling of Christmas,” said SCA Presi¬ dent Pam Hollis. Clubs and organizations again rose to the occasion and donated money to a general fund. A $500 dona¬ tion was presented to Mrs. Jane Reed, social services worker, to establish a Stu¬ dent Emergency Relief Fund, and $661.27 was presented to Mrs. Kate McIntyre for the battered Women’s Shelter. “This check,” said Mrs. McIntyre, “is the largest single donation the Shelter has ever received. We are very grateful.” When school closed for the winter break, December 20, students were ready for the holiday and their own celeb¬ rations. They rejoiced know¬ ing that it was “more blessed to give than to receive.” Holidays Floating white flakes, freezing temperatures cancel school; it is i nowing! f It was a week of Mondays. The first one began normally except for the tiny white flakes that floated to the ground and melted on con¬ tact. By second period, howev¬ er, those flakes had multi¬ plied and were definitely sticking to the ground. It was really snowing! “I walked out of Physics and I couldn’t believe it! It was snowing so hard that I could hardly see the flag¬ poles!” exclaimed senior Phyllis Mayes. Students threw snowballs and marveled at the accumu¬ lation between classes. Then came the announcement ev¬ ery one was hoping for; “School dismissed at 11:30.” “It was so great. Everyone was at Gosnold’s getting totally wet. I went home and my Mother killed me,” said junior Bill Hollingsworth. The accumulation contin¬ ued and freezing tempera¬ tures resulted in hazardous driving conditions. On Mon¬ day night, the T.V. and radio stations carried the news that there would be no school on Tuesday. Wednesday, the second Monday, it was snowing again, adding to the first accumulation, but, alas, there was no early dismissal. By afternoon, everyone was worried about driving condi- dions and getting home safe¬ ly- “Those roads were ex¬ tremely slick. I slid more than a few times going around corners,” said junior Gi Gi Murphy. Thursday dawned clear, but cold, and once again, because of icy road condi¬ tions, the decision was made to cancel school. Another holiday! “With the excitement of the snow over, I stayed home Thursday and slept. It was a good time to catch up on some much needed ‘Z’s’,” said junior Billy Brown. By Friday, it was slush. The snow was melting and the sun was out. It was back to school for the third Mon¬ day of the week. There was even a fire drill that after¬ noon, in spite of the cold. With no “snow days” built into the calendar, students made up the days missed February 17 and March 28. The unexpected winter holiday was a welcome break for both students and teach¬ ers who would not have another until April. I_ 34 Snow A FIRE DRILL?

Snow Pretty ladies, a victory , cheering fans turn night into memorable event to herlsh It was a cold snowy Valen¬ tine’s Day and excitement heated up the crowded gym¬ nasium. The capacity crowd was there to cheer on the team in its Homecoming game against Lafayette and witness the crowning of the 1986 Basketball Homecom¬ ing Queen. The crowd cheered as each attendant, representing the four classes, was intro¬ duced by SCA President Pam Hollis. Freshmen attendants were Shawn Tarver and Dawn Pabst. Sophomores were An¬ gela Austin and Kelli Keeter. Chelie Stubblebine and Shir¬ ley Little represented the TAKING A BREAK: Newly crowned Basketball Homecom¬ ing Queen Vivian Burchett watches the second half of the game with escort Les Gordon. Junior Class, and senior at¬ tendants were Vivian Bur¬ chett, Ingrid Olson, and Kim Irick. Following the introduc¬ tions, Principal Dennis Gilli- kin crowned Vivian Burchett queen and Hollis presented her with a bouquet of red roses. “I was really surprised,” said Burchett, who was also the 1985 Football Homecom¬ ing Queen. “I’m proud my classmates chose me.” Prior to the Homecoming game, students participated in a basketball Spirit Week. Activities included “Stuffed Animal Day,” “Foreign Na¬ tions Day,” and “Nerd vs. Cool Day.” On “Stuffed Animal Day,” Teddy bears, ducks, puppies and orangutans were lovingly carried to class. “My pet mouse was my good luck charm in tests that day,” said junior Karen Whit¬ ley. Activities culminated Fri¬ day at a pep rally. All three basketball teams were intro¬ duced and students compet¬ ed in Spirit Jug contests getting them “psyched up” for the game. Highlight of the evening was the 54-47 victory over the Lafayette Rams, estab¬ lishing the team as a major power in the district. 36 ALL SMILES: Senior attendant Ingrid Olson is introduced to the Homecoming crowd as she walks through the NJROTC arch of swords escorted by her father Dr. John Olson.

Basketball Homecoming Boredom syndrome raids classroom; drooping eyes urge students to relax, zzzz! Your eyelids are so heavy you can not keep them open, no matter how hard you try. You need toothpicks to prop them up. Your head begins to nod and you snap it back, as the teacher drones on and on. You succumb and drift off, asleep in your chair. Suddenly, you jerk and sit up straight. Did anyone no¬ tice? You hope not. The teacher keeps on talking and you fight the urge to sleep all over again. “It’s so hard to keep your eyes open in government. My head becomes heavy and starts swaying to the side. Then you have to repeat the same process the next day,” said senior Poochie Cheeseman. There were other ways to counteract the “boredom syndrome,” such as writing a note to your boyfriend or girlfriend, or completing a homework assignment due the next class period. Or, you might tap your pencil to the beat of the latest song. However, taking a nap was the most popular escape of all. “It gives me a chance to tune out boring instructors and even more boring clas¬ ses,” said senior Albert Brooks. One frequent napper, se¬ nior Joe Doege, earned the nickname “Joe Doze” from his teachers. “Sleeping is the only escape from the constant monotony of teachers ram¬ bling on about subjects of little interest,” said Doege. It wasn’t only seniors who slept in class. Everyone suc¬ cumbed to the temptation occasionally. “I’m a junior and I’ve been sleeping in class since sixth grade. For some reason the class seems to go by faster when you are sleeping. This question woke me up,” said Mark Gibson. Some seniors, however, felt that they had earned the privilege of sleeping in class and that it was justifiable to do so. “I feel it is necessary and beneficial in order to prepare for the more academic clas¬ ses to rest my weary mind and eyes during English,” said senior Kippy Thomas.

Sleeping Nervous excitement , tense The atmosphere was tense with nervous excitement as the 14 stylishly-clad girls formed a semi-circle that stretched across the stage. Each contestant was nervous¬ ly anticipating semi-final re¬ sults. The names of the seven lucky finalists were called out amid sighs of relief, joyful smiles, and disappointment. It was March 26 and the final night of the Miss KHS Pag¬ eant. From the very begin¬ ning, the competition proved to be tough. The Pageant had opened with each contestant model¬ ing her choice of a casual outfit. Each girl was intro¬ duced by emcees Mrs. Sylvia Redding and Mr. Lester Sapp who narrated descrip¬ tions of outfits. First finalist senior Myrtle Thomas performed a spirited smiles characterize night; Competition proves to be ■ 0gf . ough and complicated tap dance routine to “Le Jazz Hot. Junior Christine Knight, soon to be Miss KHS, captivated the audience with a song and ballet performance to “Somewhere. A flute solo to “Theme From Ice Castles by senior Yvonne Hatfield changed the pace and provid¬ ed the audience with variety. Junior Patricia Jackson’s vo¬ cal performance was en¬ hanced by an original slide show to “Out There On My Own.” A highlight of the evening was senior Laura Wampler’s spellbinding rendition of “Via Dolorosa.” “The Greatest Love of All was given new meaning when sung by gifted vocalist Wynonna Robinson. The last act of the evening was senior Susan William’s tranquil piano solo of “Papillon (Butterfly). The talent portion over, escorts Steve Staton, Marvin Lands and Earl Hearp were presented, and the contes¬ tants were escorted on stage dressed in formal attire. An interview with each finalist was conducted by Mr. Sapp, and the judges cast their ballots. Prior to the crowning of the queen by the 1985 Miss KHS, Kay Miles, Thomas was named “Miss Congeniali¬ ty,” Jackson was named “Most Dedicated,” and Rob¬ inson was named “Most Tal¬ ented.” First runner-up was Wam¬ pler, and Knight was crowned Miss KHS 1986. Entertainment between competitions and apparel changes was provided by Destiny, a local group, and the popular Harbor Lights Ensemble. 40 Miss KHS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER: New¬ ly crowned Miss KHS 1986, Christine Knight, takes her first walk across the stage as a beaming emcee Mr. Lester Sapp applauds.

Class Night , reception pay tribute to seniors; Baccalaureate heralds Seniors were given ample opportunity to release their tensions and revel in their final days of school during Class Night, May 29, and Baccalaureate, June 8. Following a rowdy proces¬ sion, seniors took the stage for Class Night. Skits and performances varied be¬ tween song and dance rout¬ ines to classroom farces and a rendition of “The Twelve Years of School.” “Class Night was a blast. It gave seniors a chance to be obnoxious and get away with it,” said Dukart. The audience cheered and jeered as Hall of Fame awards were presented. Gifts, such as handcuffs, were presented to Scott Po- linski and Craig Hetler for “Most Inseparable,” and hool-a-hoops to Vivian Bur¬ chett and Myron McDaniels for “Best All-Around.” The presentations made the eve¬ ning a memorable one. The show ended with the cast and audience singing “I’ll See You Again,” fol¬ lowed by an out-of-hand shaving cream fight. On a more serious note, seniors donned their caps and gowns for Baccalaure¬ ate, Sunday, June 8, a tradi¬ tional ceremony preceding graduation. The A Cappella Choir sang “Time For Mov¬ ing On,” and retired Juvenile Domestic Relations Court Judge Paul S. Crider gave the formal address. A recep¬ tion in the cafeteria followed the brief ceremony. Punch and cake were served to guests. “I enjoyed the ceremony. It got me in the right frame of mind for graduation,” said senior Dathan Roos. A LITTLE REFRESHMENT! Bar¬ bara Tilton enjoys cake and punch at the reception follow¬ ing Baccalaureate, June 8.

What am I going to do? “He’ll be late, I know it. We ' ll miss the photogra¬ pher ...” Amidst panic and para¬ noia, joy and anticipation, seniors and juniors prepared for the Prom and Ring Dance. The themes of “We’ve Got Tonight,” and“A Touch of Elegance” set the pace for beautiful nights of dinner, dancing, and partying. The Junior Ring Dance, April 27, was held in the cafeteria, cleverly decorated with a city backdrop to ac¬ centuate the theme. Blue, white, and silver were the colors. Most juniors went out to dinner before the dance at area restaurants like Darryl’s, Red Lobster, and Fisherman’s Wharf. “We had a great time at dinner at Steak and Ale,” said junior Karen Young. “It was good food and a friendly A MOMENT OF REST: Tracy Slade and James Stamps take a break from the dancing to hold a private conversation at the Senior Prom , May 31. atmosphere.” From dinner, couples be¬ gan arriving at the cafeteria ready to dance the night away. Then came the tradi¬ tional ring turning. “The ring turning was really special for me,” said junior Elaine Therianos. “I felt good knowing that I had gotten 86 people to turn my ring beforehand.” The highlight of the night for many was a party after the dance. Juniors flocked to houses for smaller get togeth¬ er where there was good food and music. The Senior Prom, for some the most memorable event of the year, was held at the Chamberlain, May 31. Seniors, dressed in their most elegant ball attire, be¬ gan to pour into the Virginia Room where the band First Class was performing popu¬ lar top 40 hits. Although the night was steamy, the tem¬ perature reaching into the 90’s, senior and their dates were dancing up a storm. “In spite of the heat and the crowd, the prom was really an elegant night that I will always remember,” said senior Lisa Gingery. Ingrid Olson was chosen Prom Queen and Kenny Hatchett, although he was not present to receive his crown, was elected Prom King. Andreas Liss-Daniels was first runner-up. “I really wish I could have been there,” said Hatchett. “But, I danced with Ingrid later to make up for missing the presentation.” When the clock struck 12, no carriages turned into pumpkins and no dresses into rags. Seniors took off to after prom parties, most held in private homes, or changed into more casual clothes and sat on the beach to watch the sun come up, hoping that this very special night would never end. For upperclass¬ men, the dances were ele¬ gant affairs. 44 Prom Ring Dance ■■■■■■ “THE WAY YOU LOOK TO¬ NIGHT!” Mike Burton and sweetheart Dawn Small share a private moment between dances at the Prom.

Graduation Seniors race to Coliseum on hot Saturday in June; Finally a reality , it ' s the Inal day Ordinarily, the last place anyone would find a senior on a hot Saturday afternoon in June would be racing toward the Coliseum. Ordinarily, hoards of sen¬ iors would migrate to the sandy beaches of Buckroe and Croatan on a steamy weekend in June. But, then again, it was no ordinary Saturday afternoon. It was the day seniors had anticipated for what seemed like forever. That long walk, the turning of the tassels, the awarding of diplomas were a reality. It was graduation day, finally! Sandwiched between Phoebus and Bethel’s gradu¬ ation, the time was perfect - not too early to be boring, and not too late to be a nuisance. Seniors began to fill the Coliseum by 1:15 p.m. Some carried caps and gowns while others arrived already dres¬ sed for the occasion. They lined up the way that they had practiced and shouts of joy could be heard as the time drew near. Senior girls coun¬ ted down with screams every minute until two when the band began to play. The halls were quiet as seniors picked up the strains of “Pomp and Circumstan ce,” and then they screamed some more. From Principal Dennis Gil- likin’s opening remarks to Reverend Sidney Williams’ benediction, the ceremony was memorable. Valedictorian James Seb- ring, Salutatorian Chad Ri- tenour, and Class President Myron McDaniels gave stir¬ ring speeches. Ritenour summed up the event with his final words, “Never lose the child in you who makes you smile.” Scholarships and awards to members of the class were announced by Assistant Principal William Pearson. Over nine hundred thousand dollars in scholar¬ ships and grants were award¬ ed to the recipients. Preliminaries over, the awarding of diplomas was at hand. Mr. Pearson called each name as the graduates walked across the stage. Then, McDaniels led the class in the turning of tassels and the Alma Mater was played accompanied by bouncing, inflatable beach balls. At long last, seniors re¬ treated to the lobby where they traded caps and gowns for “real” diplomas. Embrac¬ ing each other, teary-eyed seniors gloried in their last moments together. W hen parents and friends gathered outside of the Coli¬ seum, more hugging, kissing, and crying ensued. Parents beamed with pride and sen¬ iors radiated joy. Almost in unison, seniors shouted, “Hey, we made it!” WE LOVE YOU, MR. QUINN! Lisa Gingery and Vivian Bur¬ chett say goodbye to physics instructor Mr. John Quinn. Graduation Faculty members revive Faculty Frolics; Students contribute unique abilities PEOPLE From faculty to freshmen, individuals made a full house work. People like Jenny Gamming, an exchange student from Sweden, who integrated into every aspect of student life, or faculty members Ms. Emma Flood and Ms. Betsy Forrest, who revived Faculty Frolics and, incidentally, a spirit of fellowship, made a difference. Class presidents, coni ' mended students, editors, team captains, sponsors, and coaches all contributed their unique abilities to maintaining the standards of excellence that meant Kecoughtan.

Besides preparing nutritious lunches every day for at least 1,000 students, the cafeteria personnel was totally supportive of school projects. They pur¬ chased yearbooks, enjoyed the newspaper, baked bread and rolls for special occasions and assisted with a special faculty breakfast, December 13. Other members of the staff were equally supportive, from Principal Dennis O. Gillikin, Assis¬ tant Principals William Pearson, Harold Johns, and Larry Waddell to the hard working crew of custodians. “I’ll bet you think I haven’t swept this hall all day,” said one custodian in CD corridor. “Well, this is the third time,” he added. Superintendent Donald Mus- selman attended the Distributive Education Open House prior to the opening of school, addressed the first faculty meeting, and, assisted by Food Service person¬ nel, served breakfast to the facul¬ ty in recognition of its outstanding contribution to the Peninsula United Fund. Those daily responsible for the smooth operation of the school, the assistant principals, deans, guidance and office secretaries, and librarians were enthusiastic about their jobs. “I’m excited about my job,” said Assistant Principal Harold Johns, who assumed duties as Student Activities Director in August. “I feel that opportunities for students to participate in activi¬ ties, in addition to their normal classroom routines, are beneficial and help to develop a well-round¬ ed student,” he explained. Guidance counselors provided students with a variety of informa¬ tion and assistance, and Student Assistance Counselor Howard Booker assisted students with personal problems. “Being here full time has kept me very busy. I’m getting more referrals from faculty and am more accessible to students,” he said. Often working behind the scenes, and seldom praised, the administrative staff was what kept the school operating.

New, mobile teachers experi¬ enced some problems. With no permanent classrooms available, new teachers were most often roamers and pushed carts and A.V. equipment to different class¬ rooms. “I feel like I work at K-Mart. All I need is a flashing blue light on my cart,” said ninth grade English teacher Mrs. Janelle Proctor. Several teachers revived school activities or created new interests for students. Mrs. Stacey Garber created a Computer Sci¬ ence Club that provided free tutoring services for students and free word processing for teachers. Mrs. Ann Sotack revived the Bio-Chem Club, an affiliate of the Virginia Junior Academy of Sci¬ ence, and Mrs. Cleta Still created a Radio TV Club that produced television programs on WHRO. Mrs. Alberta Boyd, Mrs. Car- leen Yates, Mr. Thomas Millen, Mrs. Cleta Still, and Assistant Principal William Pearson de¬ vised a plan for students to qualify for academic letters. “Academic excellence is the major goal of the school and we hope the letter will act as an incentive in furthering that goal,” said Mrs. Yates. Spirited faculty members, like Mrs. Peggy Becouvarakis and Ms. Donna Stephens, dressed up for Spirit Week and contributed their talents to Faculty Frolics and pep rallies. They helped prepare Thanks¬ giving Baskets, initiated charita¬ ble projects for Christmas, and gave, as a group, more money to the United Way than any other high school faculty in Hampton.

Faculty popular ' sub’ Heggen wins student poll INTERACTION: French students Christy Parker and Trace Lumpkin point out the correct translation to substitute teacher Mr. Larry Heggen. Mr. Heggen was voted “most popu¬ lar teacher” in a student poll. T he rather dapper, mid¬ dle-aged man entered the building at 7:45 a.m. and began walk¬ ing down D Hall to the Main Office. “Who are you subbing for? Hey, Mr. Heggen, who are you subbing for?” Everyone seemed to know Mr. Larry Heggen, a regular substi¬ tute, and students usually crowd¬ ed around him in hopes of discov¬ ering that their regular teacher was absent and Mr. Heggen was taking over. In a survey of approximately one hundred students asked, “Who is your favorite teacher?” Mr. Heggen won hands down, out distancing the closest competition by 10 votes. “1 enjoy working exclusively at Kecoughtan because that way I get to know the school, students, teachers, and administrators. And most of all, they get to know me,” said Mr. Heggen. Mr. Heggen prided himself on his desire to help students with their class assignments. “1 try to help the kids as much as I can and interact with them. I don’t want to be a babysitter! In my opinion, that would be a waste of time.” Aside from subbing, Mr. Heg¬ gen enjoyed refereeing games. He felt that the job prepar¬ ed him for hectic days at school. “Let’s face it! Every kid is not an angel. I love them all, but some make my day a little harder than it should be,” said Mr. Heggen. Mr. Heggen, certified to teach, entertained thoughts of becoming a full-time teacher. “Being a full-time teacher has its advantages, such as authority and salary, but being a substitute is never monotonous,” he laughin¬ gly explained.

Teachers had var¬ ied interests that occupied their time. Mrs. Alberta Boyd enjoyed acting and working on plays. Her first love, however, was singing. “I began singing in a Baptist church choir, and I still sing there today,” she said. ‘‘I enjoy singing; it’s fun.” Mrs. Joyce Ellingsworth partici¬ pated in a diversity of sports and activities. “I like tennis. I started playing in college and then quit after my son was born. 1 also enjoy water- skiing because 1 control the water and get to walk on it. My true love is that every Sunday I get to teach four and five-year-olds. I love them and, believe it or not, they love me,” she said. Mrs. Martha Tarkenton en¬ joyed traditional activities, such as bridge and knitting, but she also had some unusual interests. ‘‘I love to go up to Busch Gardens and dance in the German Fest House. That way I can be strange and wild and it gives the child in me a chance to get out,” she said. “Also,” she added, “it’s great for the mind.” Assistant Principal Larry Wad¬ dell liked to keep in shape on his free time. “I go out and jog when I have the time. If I do not get the chance to jog, I usually try to ride a few miles on my bicycle,” he said. Other fitness buffs were Mr. Bill Cawley, who ran each morn¬ ing at 5 a.m., and Ms. Donna Stephens who lifted weights. Mrs. Chris Ervin spent her free time writing. “I enjoy writing poetry,” she said. “I started writing when I was in the seventh grade and just kept it up. I used to submit it, but stopped, because I would rather write for my own personal enjoy¬ ment. It really helps release pressure.” “But,” she added, “I also love to watch football.” Another writer-teacher was Mrs. Kathy Cawthon, who had articles published in the Daily Press and other publications. Others enjoyed bridge, garden¬ ing, children, grandchildren, cooking, crafts, and sports. Teachers, after all, were hu¬ man too! TRICK OR TREAT? On her way to a Halloween party, Ms. June Tharpe, alias Vampira, poses for a “haunting” picture for a friend. “I KNEW WAS RIGHT!” Physics teacher Mr. John Quinn wins the TOMAHAWK award for “Most Photogenic” faculty member.

I t was only 2:45 p.m., but ungraded papers were tuck¬ ed away, pencils and pens were thrown on cluttered desks, and classrooms were emp¬ ty. Chalk boards were marked with unfinished assignments and gradebooks were closed. The chairs that sat behind bulky wooden desks were empty. Where were the teachers? They were at practice, of course, for “Rhythm, Rocking, and Rapping,” more commonly known as “Faculty Frolics.” Sixty teachers, administrators, and staff members devoted weeks of practice decked out in faded blue jeans or makeshift costumes be¬ fore presenting their show on stage, November 14. “We had a lot of fun. The money was going to a great cause, and it gave teachers a chance to socialize and get acquainted,” said Librarian Nancy Spain, who participated in the opening and closing numbers. Proceeds from “Faculty Frol¬ ics,” $738, went to the Debate Team and student activity fund. Coordinator of the event was Debate Team Sponsor Ms. Emma Flood. “The program was a complete success because of the tremen¬ dous support the administration, teachers, and students gave. Each department was represented. It was the essence of ‘Warrior Spirit,”’ said Ms. Flood. Favorite acts, at least for the audience, included a “Drill Team,” “Miami Vice,” “Big Spender,” and “Midget Dan¬ cers.” “It was great!” said sophomore Ben Moore. “It was out of the ordinary. You got to see the teachers goof around and you never see that in a classroom.” The highlight of the show was the arrival of the “Miami Vice” squad. The audience screamed with delight as the four top administrators, Mr. Gillikin, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Johns, and Mr. Waddell, paraded down the aisles dr essed as the T.V. show’s char¬ acters. “My hardest job in ‘Faculty Frolics’ was keeping the women faculty members from attacking the ‘Miami Vice’ squad,” said director of the show Ms. Betsy Forrest. The big four’s grand entrance was followed by “Big Spender.” Ms. Forrest, Ms. Flood, Mrs. Alberta Boyd, and Mrs. Joel Grimm vamped, danced, and sang to the administrators. The crowd roared with laughter. “It was interesting to see teach¬ ers acting like their own kids might act,” said junior Karen Young. “It’s good to show that teachers do something other than grade papers and dictate notes. I think ‘Faculty Frolics’ should become an annual show.” “SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH ME!” Mr. Harold Johns enjoys the gyra¬ tions of Mrs. Alberta Boyd as she belts out the “Faculty Frolics” rendi¬ tion of “Big Spender. ” “HEY, GOOD LOOKING!” Ms. Emma Flood, sings to Mr. Larry Waddell, who wowed everyone with his “Miami Vice” getup, in “Big Spender,” the last act of “Faculty Frolics. ” Faculty SHARON A.

Seniors Ad-Bu MUM Id teenagers turn 18; Seniors enjoy responsibility, freedom or seniors, turning 18 was a transition from being an I old teenager to being a A young adult. It signified one’s entrance into an adult world where rights of American citizen¬ ship were granted, the most prominent advantage being the right of 18-year-olds to vote. iMany seniors who turned 18 ;before Election Day in November were eager to exercise their new right. “I liked being able to vote for the first time,” remarked senior J. R. Lippus. “It made me feel like I was an important part of our Isociety.” Perhaps becoming part of soci¬ ety gave a realistic feeling to becoming 18. Adulthood was just around the corner; for some, it had already arrived. “My parents respected my adulthood,” said senior Ansley Emory. “They gave me more room, more freedom.” “My responsibilities didn’t change much when I turned 18. Actually, the difference is that now I’m at 18-year-old status,” said senior Wesley Heptinstall. Not everyone, however, was ready to accept the responsibility of becoming 18. “Now we can be drafted and sent to war,” lamented senior Craig Hetler. But being 18 was more a frame of mind, a feeling. Many 18-year- old seniors felt that their age gave them a better perspective of the world. Some seniors, however, were still 17 and more than happy to remain that way. Others, of course, could not wait for that magical eighteenth birthday. For some it would not come until they were safely out of high school and in college. “My eighteenth birthday won’t be until the middle of my fresh¬ man year at college. It’s hard waiting when everyone else around me is already 18. But, I’ll enjoy the last of my childhood while I have it,” smiled senior Jenny Heck. Those seniors who were not 18 were able to look on the bright side of life. “It’s not so bad being only 17. At least, I’m not legally responsi¬ ble for my actions,” said senior Wade Barber. Eighteen year-olds, according to the law, were adults with the privileges and rights granted to adults. These rights were impor¬ tant to 18-year-olds. They were rights and responsibilities that were to remain theirs for a lifetime as they took the first step into adulthood.

Mone¬ tary demands were constant, but the supply was often limited. Only those who enjoyed unlimited funds, earned or saved, lived the easy life. “I’ve had to fork over so much money this year. If I didn’t have a job, I would have been bank¬ rupt,” complained senior Bryan Pelham. First, there were the regular expenses: clothes, gas, music, and traffic tickets - just to name a few. Then, there were the additional social expenses that came with being a senior. A weekend in the life of a senioi meant money for food, movies, and concerts. As a rule, money set aside for a weekend night had to be doubled or tripled if it was a date. “It’s good news to have a boyfriend,” explained practical senior Tracy McPherson. “You can go out and have fun free of charge,” she explained. If a senior was not already knee deep in debt, he she was further taxed with additional expenses, peculiar to the senior year. Among these were senior por¬ traits, class dues, cap and gown fees, graduation announcements, transcript fees, college applica¬ tion fees, prom dresses or tuxedo rentals — the list seemed endless and further contributed to a senior’s impoverished state. However, knowing that high school and its attendant expenses would soon be over, June 14 to be exact, made even temporary poverty worthwhile.

As president, McDaniels cham¬ pioned school spirit and was instrumental in planning tradition¬ al activities, such as the Senior Prom and Class Night. Under his direction, the Senior Class placed first in the Home¬ coming spirit competition and won a second place trophy for its float. McDaniels’ presidency of the Class of ’86 was his second. He headed the class as a sophomore. He observed a positive attitude develop in the class over the three years. “The last year of high school is supposed to be filled with fun and excitement. Many ’86’er’s are trying to achieve that through class participation,” claimed McDaniels. McDaniels was accepted to Howard University where he hoped to obtain an Army ROTC scholarship. He planned to study electrical engineering. “Howard University has an excellent program in engineer¬ ing,” explained McDaniels. Not only Senior Class presi¬ dent, McDaniels was also treasur¬ er of the Computer Club, on the executive board of the National Honor Society, Captain of the Cross Country Team, and Co- Captain of the Track Team. McDaniels’ leadership of the Senior Class was noteworthy in a year of change. MATTHEW A. FOSS DARRYL FOX: NJROTC. Officer CARA L. FRANKLIN: DECA; FHA. MARK H.

Magnet School pupil Brian Simonson puzzles over a difficult physics problem at Thom¬ as Nelson Community College. uilding mousetraps Seven attend Magnet School at TNCC “Y ou have to do WHAT?” stun¬ ned junior Mike Brown asked Magnet School pupil Shelly Spen¬ cer. “We have to build a car out of a mousetrap,” senior Spencer replied, laughing at Brown’s ex¬ pression. The infamous mousetrap car was only one of many projects that occupied seven seniors who attended the new Magnet School on the Thomas Nelson Communi¬ ty College Campus. Magnet School was a division of the New Horizons Technical Center found adjacent to TNCC. Every morning, seniors Robert Cleveland, Keith Montgomery, Bryan Pelham, Ingo Schiller, Brian Simonson, Alex Skucas, and Spencer attended the 7:30- 9:30 session of Advanced Physics taught by Mr. Richard Purman. Three weighted high school credits were awarded for the successful completion of the year¬ long courses. Students attended Magnet School for two hours and then took four classes in their regular high school. One thousand students from Peninsula high schools applied for admission to the Magnet School. Only 98 applicants were selected for the program, based upon past performance. The course was college-level, making it difficult, but the stu¬ dents would not have wanted it any other way. ‘‘Working in a college environ¬ ment has challenged me to broaden my thinking,” said Cleve¬ land. “Our mousetrap cars are a perfect example.” The assignment was to take an ordinary mousetrap and build a car around it. It had to look like a car in concept only and had to be powered by the mousetrap. Some of the materials used were Balsa wood, cardboard, and tin. The car was supposed to go straight for a certain number of feet that determined the project’s grade. If the car went 80 feet, 30 points were added to that to make the grade 110. After three tries, the longest footage was accepted. ‘‘The cars forced us,” contin¬ ued Cleveland, “to take the physical theories we were learn¬ ing in class and apply them to the reality of mechanics. It was a definite challenge.” Calculus was required for the physics course, and although physics was a challenge, it was not an unwanted one. “I’d do it again in a minute,” said Montgomery. “I have no regrets at all, and I think all of qs feel that way.” “We enjoy the challenge,” agreed Spencer. “It’s a wonderful learning experience, and I wouldn’t have wanted to take anything else.” PAMELA A.

MILLER Seniors Ke-Mi e foyd: Athlete, scholar; m Giant tackle highly recruited by colleges TOWER OF STRENGTH: Bill Boyd, escorted by cheerleader Cheryl Mayo, is introduced to students during the fall football pep rally. P icture this: A six-foot- nine, 280 pound football star ranked in the top fifth of his class with a 3.0 grade point average. Sound too good to be true? It sounded good enough to attract football scouts from the University of Virginia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida State, the University of North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, and others. They all came, full football scholarships in hand, to seek out senior Bill Boyd. Boyd, much to the delight of the scouts, planned to play col¬ lege football. He wanted to major in computer science and dreamed of playing in the National Football League. “I want to play for the Chicago Bears because they are the most powerful team around. I try to model myself after Mike Single¬ tary (Bears’ linebacker) because I admire his toughness and intensi¬ ty,” said Boyd. Boyd, who started as an offen¬ sive tackle, only played for three years. He was too big to play for Phillips Recreational League and Syms Junior High had no football team. Regardless of his lack of experience, Boyd amassed sever¬ al awards during his high school career. He was named “Best Offensive Lineman” and was voted a member of the Peninsula Sports Club All-District team. Despite his success, Boyd was quick to point out that football was not his entire life. ”1 live the normal life of a senior in high school. In my spare time, I watch T.V., listen to music, and spend time with my friends. Football is not the only ingredient in my life,”he said. Boyd could bench press 300 pounds and ate three meals a day with half a dozen snacks in- between. He estimated that he ate twice as much as an average person. At six-foot-nine, he was still growing but said success was more than size. ‘‘You have to work and listen to the coaches and do what they tell you to. My coach, Coach Conrad, was a big influence because he taught me to play aggressively and to play my hardest all the time,” said Boyd. Looking into the future, Boyd hoped to be invovled with profes¬ sional football someday. “I’d like to be head coach, or something. Maybe I’ll replace Mike Ditka,” he said.

These young ambassadors came from all over to “discover” America and to share their own culture and country with others. “The people are pretty much the same all over the world. The only difference is the environment in which people live,” said senior Andreas Liss-Daniels from Goth¬ enburg, Sweden. Liss-Daniels wanted to come to America because he felt that learning to adjust to a different culture and environment would be a valuable experience. Senior Jenny Gamming from Halmstad, Sweden felt her time in America was a great learning experience. “The school systems are differ¬ ent, but the people are pretty much the same. The American students are open to making new friends and did not make me feel strange,” said Gamming. If she had a chance to stay in America, Gamming said she would like to live in New York City. Her time in America was actually a break in her schooling. When Gamming returned to Swe¬ den, she still had two more years of school to complete. For senior Jan Doerr, from Cologne, Germany, the last year in an American high school was also his last year. “After graduation, I will go to college in America for two years before going back to Germany,” said Doerr, who made his first trip to America when he was four- years-old. Senior Sandra De Chazal from Santa Cruz, Bolivia arrived at the beginning of second semester after studying English for only two months. Udnerstanding was a problem, but De Chazal found America to be “muylinda,” or very pretty. “America was very different from what I expected. I thought the people would keep to them¬ selves, but they are very friend¬ ly,” she said. All of the foreign exchange students participated in a variety of extra-curricular activities and sports that helped them to form lasting friendships. KEVIN S.

The years had slipped to weeks, days, and finally to minutes. No longer were we bound by a clock and childhood fantasies. Now, we were bound by the real world. When the final whistle blew at the Lafayette-Kecoughtan foot¬ ball game, the last one of the season, seniors experienced some bittersweet moments. “We were happy to have a victory and to have completed a good season, but we were sad it was all over,” said senior cheer¬ leader Vivian Burchett. The last football game was history, but November was too far away from graduation in June to be sad for long. Then, first semester exams were over, the last buzzer soun¬ ded at the last basketball game, the last snow fell and it was spring again. Now, we were counting days. “Only 74 days until gradua¬ tion,” said senior Ansley Emory. “I can’t believe it!” We received college accep¬ tances, and made plans for the summer. We went to the Prom, marched in on Class Night, and attended Baccalaureate. “I can’t believe it’s all ending. It seems like yesterday we were just sophomores. 1 don’t feel as ecstatic as 1 thought I would. I feel like I’m losing something,” said senior Amy Fegter. We had our “wild” weekend at Nags Head, took our last exams, cleaned out our lockers, and practiced for graduation. For the last time, we gathered at the Coliseum as a class to walk across the stage to receive our diplomas. Some cheered, some sobbed. It was the beginning of the rest of our lives - the last in a year of lasts. ONE MORE EXAM! Alex Skucas studies for one of his last exams in the parking lot before sc hool. POMP CIRCUMSTANCE! Pam Chisman pays for her graduation announcements in the bookstore. Seniors ordered announcements and caps and gowns from a Herff- Jones representative. Seniors HOMEWORK! Even though he is “carrying the locker home, ” Jason Wallace is pleased that another day of difficult classes is over. junior’s lot in life; Carrying the locker home every night - R ushing to the library night after night, buying Cliff Notes on every book wri tten, and carry¬ ing the locker home day after day in order to get homework done was a junior’s lot in life. “Once my room was cozy and 1 enjoyed spending time there, but now 1 dread opening the door because it’s nothing more than a study hall,” complained junior Valerie Keys. Although they looked forward to another year of high school, college was on the minds of everyone. In hopes of upgrading transcripts and impressing admission officers, un¬ suspecting juniors enrolled in the most demanding courses available. “My plan backfired,” stated an annoyed Lisa DiStefano. “I took the hard courses to attract colleges and ended up lowering my grade point average considerably.” Generally, the year of being “caught in the middle” was the hardest for most students. Many regretted taking on the burden of Advanced Placement and College Prep courses. But juniors, such as Kevin Siemann, felt that the sweat, tears, and numerous hard knocks were worth the end results. “I finally learned the importance of budgeting my time equally between all of my classes. If you focus on one, the others always drop,” said Siemann. In spite of the tediousness of academics, most juniors were able to muck through the gloomy clouds of homework and studying to rediscover lost social lives. Emerg¬ ing from their cacoon of books, juniors often, but temporarily, closed the doors to stuffy libraries and joined in the swing of high school life. Highlights, such as the long awaited Ring Dance and an occasional successful party, creat¬ ed excitement and enthusiasm and made the continuous work of juniors bearable. “Being a junior gave new mean¬ ing to the word ‘weekend.’ But sometimes it seemed as though classwork and homework were never going to end,” said junior Randy Wildes. With the realization that nothing ever came easily, juniors prepared themselves for that long anticipat¬ ed glorious state of “seniorhood.” Their trial by fire finally over, they realized that the knowledge gained was worth the effort. j “In spite of all of the hard work, I decided to stick with the advanced placement courses,” said junior Jennifer Brown. “After you have had teachers like Mrs. Romano and Mrs. Alligood, surely the senior teachers couldn’t be harder,” she said.

Although their year was chal¬ lenging academically, juniors made the most of it by participat¬ ing in pep rallies, sports events, club and class activities. Juniors showed their school spirit by devoting long hours and energy to fund raising and other varied projects. “Sometimes I just want to scream as loud as 1 can and let everyone know that, ‘Hey, I’m a junior!’ ” said junior Sara Sawyer. One of the year’s most exciting moments for the Class of ’87 was placing first in the float competi¬ tion in the football Homecoming Parade. Time and effort were put into the making of the winning float, and the end result was worth it. Especially happy was float committee chairperson Mar¬ ia Reduto. “After hearing the announce¬ ment that the juniors had beaten the seniors, 1 didn’t regret one long hour that we put in to that float,” she said. “The rewarding feeling was worth every minute of time.” Perhaps the finest example of spirited juniors was Debbie Ed¬ wards. In her two years of high school, she bought every item in the bookstore that was green and white. She spent over two hun¬ dred dollars for mugs, banners, pins, bumper stickers, mini-mega- phones, and other paraphernalia. “Classmates often give me a hard time because of all my spirit, but I say you can never have too much of a good thing,” said Edwards. “I don’t mind showing how much I love my school. When I buy an item in the bookstore, it is one way to show my school spirit and support the school,” she said. A WINNER! Proud of the result, Junior Class Vice President Kelly White rides along side of the winner in the Homecoming Parade.

Devoted to bringing the class together as one spirited group, the officers, particularly, Chiar- amida, deserved a great deal of credit. “It was a good year. It was a lot of fun, even though everyone says it’s the toughest year. Our officers were great,” said junior Kevin Siemann. D edicated officers and enthusiastic class mem¬ bers were what made the Class of ’87’s year a prosperous one. With goals to unify the class, raise funds, and build spirit, the executive board worked hard to obtain a fitting set of priorities, and raise the morale of the class. “One of our main priorities was to build up a substantial treasury to make our senior year the best,” explained president Kimberly Chiaramida. “But, I suppose we focused a great deal on the Ring Dance.” The class sponsored candy sales, sold football programs, and raffled tickets for the services of a luxurious gold limousine for one evening to raise funds.

The result of a fender- bender sits in the parking lot. ender-benders Juniors play bumper cars S creech! Bang! Thud! The squealing tires and sick¬ ening thud resounded in the driver’s ears. She sat there, eyes shut tight, afraid to look. Slowly, carefully, one eye eased open. She grimaced as she surveyed the damage. Then, shaking from head to foot, she got out of the car, only to be confron¬ ted by the victim of her driving expertise, who had, by this time, been magically transformed into a raging beast. Several juniors paid the price for “fender-benders” on Daddy’s car. Expenses consisted of repair costs, courts fees, and increased insurance rates by irate insurance companies. For some lucky indi¬ viduals, there was even the unique experience of attending driver’s improvement school. “It was kinda hard to sit there and listen to some guy quote statistics, and the films were pretty gross,” complained junior Bill Hollingsworth. Juniors learned that cars are not all-terrain vehicles and were not built to withstand the chal¬ lenges of fences and backyards. “I was turning out of my court and the car began to skid. Sud¬ denly, I was flying through my neighbor’s fence, over her bushes, through her garden and in a direct path towards her house before I hit the brakes,” said junior Jenni¬ fer Brown. They also learned that auto¬ mobiles are not indestructible and that demolition derby is not some¬ thing you try at home. “After driving only three days, ' 1 hit a parked car,” cried junior Elaine Therianos. For those juniors who shared the experience, a “fender-bend¬ er” took some of the exhilaration out of driving.

Should the ring be gold or white gold? Or, maybe ultrium? Price variations decided this for some. What color should the stone be? What cut? What design would look best on the side? The endless choices boggled every junior’s mind. For many purchasers, the ring symbolized a challenging, yet wonderful time in their lives. Friends were made and some¬ times lost, love affairs blossomed but often wilted, and schoolwork and pressures never seemed to take a hiatus. Nevertheless, the ring represented the fun times and wild adventures of the junior year. “It’s part of growing up, like getting a car, or your first real girlfriend,” explained junior James Smith. “It’s a tradition and something that everyone should have,” said junior Bridget Tellinger. Finally, after a seven month wait, the rings arrived. Immedi¬ ately, the ritual of ring turning began. Students were careful not to touch the stone and rotate only toward the pinky. Many fingers swelled, but everyone was deter¬ mined to get in their 87 turns. The ring became a source of pride for its wearer and a symbol of status. “One day I forgot to wear my ring and I felt completely lost all day,” said junior Karen Whitley. At first, students sat in class and stared at their rings, admiring them. Eventually, they got used to them and quit “Romancing the Stone.” ROMANCING THE STONE! Jackie Scull, Robbie Dubberly, and Jean Evans share a moment of together¬ ness as they admire their rings.

Suddenly, juniors had to grow up and begin thinking about the rest of their lives. Critical decisions had to be made and the pressure was on to set a course for the future. ‘‘After I took my SAT’s, 1 really was forced to start thinking seri¬ ously about college and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life,” said junior Karen Whitley. ‘‘When you think about it, that’s really scary. I know the pressures this year have really helped me grow up,” she said. Everyone, parents, guidance counselors, friends, and even teachers, kept asking, “What are you going to do?” “What do you want to be?” For some juniors, the questions plagued them throughout the year. “1 had to grow up. 1 had to realize that I couldn’t rely on my parents forever,” said junior Rick Richter. “Life was no longer one big party. College and career decisions pressured me. It was time for me to enter the ‘real world,’ ” he said. There were so many choices to make that it was a sobering experience. Students were expec¬ ted to have serious thoughts about the future and begin to take control of their lives. “The year was a very stimulat¬ ing experience. 1 started to realize that I was going to have to make a lot more decisions,” said junior Mark Kirk. “It was time to stop playing around so much. I had to get more serious about life and what it really meant,” he added. “Getting their ducks in order” was part of the challenge juniors faced at a turning point in their lives.

Suddenly that boy or girl who used to tease you in grammar school changed before your eyes. “It’s shocking how some of the ‘tomboys’ I grew up with all of a sudden turned into mature and very attractive young ladies,” said junior Bill Hollingsworth. Attitudes towards dating var¬ ied. For some, it was still fun to go out with a crowd and remain unattached. They preferred to “run with the pack.” “It’s fun to go out with a group because I feel more at ease and I can be myself. Also, you can be with many of your friends, male and female,” said junior Jeff Covington. For others, the “first love” was serious and the couple became a “steady twosome.” “It always felt great to know that someone really cared about you and would always be there with a smile and a hug to make your day,” said junior David Rhodes. Almost all agreed that falling in love w is grand. LOST IN THOUGHT: Lynn Cormicle dreams about that special someone.

Members of the wrestling team got Mohawks to show their team spirit. I t was the year of the great hair affair and sophomores, both male and female, took great pride in breaking with tradition and experimenting with new, sometimes bizarre hair fash¬ ions. Many girls wore their hair longer on one side than the other. Another popular look was having their hair fall over on their eyes. “1 like it short in the back, because its easy to take care of and I like it long in the front to make up for being short in the back,” said sophomore Joella Clardy. Shorter hair was a trend for the girls, and both sexes had mem¬ bers who enjoyed different col¬ ored hair. “I wear my hair two different colors because I like to be differ¬ ent,” said sophomore Michelle Hartman. The “wet spike,” popular with males, was kept in place with great mounds of mousse. Other boys preferred to wear their hair long in the back and short on the top and in the front. Still others, emulating favorite rock stars, teased their hair and sported wild bangs. The biggest sensation of all was the Mohawk. Sophomores Marvin Lands and Shannon Conrad, both members of the wrestling team, dared to be different. “I did it for the wrestling spirit, and Shannon is just crazy,” said Lands. There were mixed reactions to their partially shaved heads. “That guy is sick,” said one observer of Lands, as he walked down the hall. “I like it, but my parents won’t let me keep it,” complained Lands. “When Shannon and I go to the mall, people pull their children away from us,” he laughed. Conrad surprised his parents with the haircut, and got a strong reaction at first. “My dad was pretty mad,” said Conrad, “but after other wrest¬ lers got a Mohawk, he wasn’t so angry.” Whatever the color or the style, sophomores enjoyed the year of the great hair affair.

A driver’s license was more than a personalized mugshot; it was a ticket to greater freedom and responsibility. The driving adventure began when you received your permit and persuaded your parents to let you drive the family car. Little did you know what lay ahead. Practice began in deserted parking lots, slowly circling and turning, learning the feel of the car. After a few lessons, you learned where the accelerator and brake pedal were located and how to steer in both drive and reverse. You were now ready for the road. As mom and dad piled into the car, your palms began to itch and sweat. When everyone was se¬ curely fastened in their seats, you backed out of the driveway, narrowly missing your garbage can parked at the curb. As you prepared to make your first turn, you were attacked by cars coming at you from all directions. Holding the steering wheel in a death grip, you sear¬ ched your brain frantically for all the driving rules you were sup¬ posed to have learned. Mom yells, “Go!” Dad yells, “No!” The adventure begins. Parental figures played an impor¬ tant role in teaching students to drive. They were best known for giving opposite directions to young drivers in identical situa¬ tions. Parking was another aspect of driving that the young driver had to master. For a while, it was best to park in a far-away spot, away from other parked cars, and take a long walk to wherever you were going. Learning to shift gears was another challenge. Stalling out in the middle of an intersection, however, was not quite so inter¬ esting. Heavy traffic, confusing sig¬ nals, and speeding drivers were some of the problems encoun¬ tered by young drivers. But, it was all worth it when you finally had in your possession your own Declaration of Independence, a driver’s license. “I had a lot of trouble getting it, but when I finally did, it was one of the greatest days of my life,” said sophomore Frances Bennett. PEDESTRIANS BEWARE! Michelle Keg- ley smiles a little tensely as she prepares for another adventure on the road. Stu¬ dents took “behind-the-wheel” at Phoe¬ bus High School. Sophomores ntics on the screen Cartoons provide an escape from hassles T he devious eyes of the coyote stared at the infinite desert road an¬ ticipating the coming of his elusive enemy. The fluffy clouds hung motionless against the crayola brown mountains. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the “Beep, Beep!” and the whirlwind speed of roadrun- ner. The never ending chase began. Since childhood, watching these animated characters trying to outwit each other produced a hypnotic effect that lasted well into the sophomore year. Al¬ though characters and plots be¬ came more complex, cartoons still appealed to the majority of the class. “They are a relaxing break from the hassles and tensions of every day life,” explained sopho¬ more Frances Bennett. A survey of sophomore cartoon addicts revealed that the “Jetsons” was a clear favorite. “Bugs Bunny” ranked second in popularity, while “The Flints- tones,” “The Smurfs,” “The Chipmunks,” “Dungeons and Dragons,” and “Kidd Video,” received several votes each. A wide range of 38 different cartoons were mentioned in the poll, from old favorites like “Scooby Doo” to newer cartoons such as “The Transformers,” “He-man,” and “G.I. Joe.” Even stranger entries like “Mr. T,” “El Cabong,” “Punky Brewster,” “Rockin’ Wrest ling’,” and the “Ewoks” were listed. Conspiciously absent from the list of all time favorites were oldies but goodies like “Popeye,” “Porky Pig,” “Daffy Duck,” “Yoggie Bear,” “Speedy Gon¬ zales,” and everyone’s favorite sad-sack, “Droopy.” The cartoon habit remained unbroken for a variety of reasons. For some, younger brothers and sisters kept the tradition alive. “I watch cartoons because my little sister watches them and won’t change the channel,” said sophomore Whitney Bartlett. Others watched for their own enjoyment. “They trip me out,” was a popular comment. “1 watch them because they’re funny. I’m a real humorous per¬ son,” stated sophomore Alan Ditsworth. The simplistic antics of the cartoon characters helped people escape the reality of the “real world” and be a child again.

Slurp, slurp — chew, chew, pop, pop “Hmmm, this is good! Whoops, it just burst all over my face! ” What else could it be but that All-American pastime - chew¬ ing gum? Sophomores liked Wild Straw¬ berry, Citrus, Tropical Punch, Watermelon, Orange, Wild Cher¬ ry and Juicy Fruit. They also enjoyed making all sorts of pop¬ ping and cracking noises, much to the annoyance of teachers. “I really don’t mind students chewing except when I can hear it or see it. When I hear those noises, that’s when 1 have to draw the line,” said Health and Physi¬ cal Education teacher Ms. June Tharpe. Others, however, were not as kind as Ms. Tharpe. Some teach¬ ers made a point of making the chewer spit it out, wrap it up, and throw it in the trash. Sugar, gum base, corn syrup, corn starch, artificial flavors, and artificial coloring were what made those little squares and circles taste so good. Despite the fact that some gums were sweetened with dangerous substances, the pleasures of chewing outweighed the risks. ‘‘1 don’t really care what they do to make the gum taste like it does; it just tastes so good,” said sophomore Amy Staton. Not only was the taste satisfy¬ ing, but gum also proved to be entertaining. One fascinating game involved pulling the gum out of your mouth, stretching it to extremes, and then twirling it around your finger and popping it back in again. Another challenging task was trying to see how many pieces you could chew at one time without breaking your jaw. But, of course, the classic attempt involved blow¬ ing the biggest bubble before it burst and stuck to your face. Even though dentists preached against it, and teachers detested the habit, and even friends looked at the chewer with distaste, sophomores continued to enjoy all the fun and pleasure from the snap, crackle-pop, pop-slurp, slurp their beloved gum.

Most of us were involved in other activi¬ ties and clubs, and sometimes there was a conflict of interests.” said Joella Clardy, class secretary and cheerleader. “It was hard to find a time when all the officers could meet, but when we did, we worked well together,” said Vice President Jenny Kersis. Class President Reggie High viewed his job as training. “I felt that I could well repre¬ sent my class and help them be the best that they could. I wanted to work for my class and someday I hope to be president of the Senior Class,” said High. Historian Karen Stern also looked to the future. “1 chose to run for historian, hoping to use that office as a stepping stone for higher office next year,” she said. Chaplain Esther Han ex¬ pressed service-oriented motives. “I wanted to be a class officer because I wanted to meet more people and help the class in any way that I could,” she said. “I wanted to serve.” SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS - FRONT ROW: Jenny Kersis, Lisa Whi¬ tesides.

Thad Simerly unveils the sophomore spirit while enthusiastically cheering on the basketball team. ophomores lack spirit Enthusiasm increases as time goes by I n all the flurry and excite¬ ment of welcoming a fresh¬ man class to the school, sophomores were largely ignored. Besides having the fresh¬ men to pick on, a new phenome¬ non, they did not seem to have much else distinctive. They defin¬ itely did not stand out in the crowd. At the first pep rally, a few sophomores showed spirited bursts of enthusiasm, but the class was, in general, quiet. “Our class spirit was lacking a bit, but I feel once we get accus¬ tomed to the school, it will jump dramatically,’ said sophomore Joe Behan. By the second pep rally and at the games, the sophomores had become seasoned veterans who realized the purpose of school spirit. They were willing to risk their dignity to out-do and out- scream the other classes. Howev¬ er, in school they still lagged behind. “The sophomores have abso¬ lutely no school spirit. During Spirit Week when certain days were designated as a special way to dress, sophomores rarely par¬ ticipated. I think we act a little too old to be spirited,” said sopho¬ more Ingrid Wright. With the election of officers and under the leadership of Reggie High, class president, the sopho¬ mores’ spirit and involvement increased. “The Sophomore Class didn’t have a lot of spirit in the begin¬ ning, but I think that as we move up, we’ll get more,” said sopho¬ more Kristin Siemann. The class participated in the Thanksgiving food drive, raised funds by sponsoring a candy sale, and donated $50 to a fund for battered women. Class Sponsor Mrs. Frances Hardy felt that the sophomores showed increasingly more spirit as the year progressed. “Reggie High has worked very hard this year to help the class,” she said. “He was really there when he was needed.” According to Mrs. Hardy, the class committee that began as a float committee also helped to bolster spirit. Members looked to the future. “Our class spirit was lacking somewhat, but, hopefully, as we get closer to becoming seniors, we’ll catch ‘senioritis’ and our spirit will increase,” predicted sophomore Frances Bennett. “We’re on the rise - watch out,” she added.

The rivalry began at home, but that didn’t mean it stayed there. ‘‘What’s worse is when they ask, ‘‘Are you your sister’s older sister?’ ” said senior Cathy Clem¬ ens. Sophomores found that there were social advantages to having kin already established in a new school. ‘‘It’s pretty fun because I get to meet my brother’s senior friends,” said sophomore Kristi Heptinstall. However, invading an older sibling’s territory had its frustra¬ tions also. When teachers looked at a familiar family name, they sometimes confused first names causing accidental identity crises. A family resemblance sometimes “cloned” the pair regardless of the diversity of personalities. “It’s frustrating to be thought of as ‘someone’s little sister,’ ” said sophomore Lisa Clemens.

I t finally happened! Your first date. The boy who sits behind you in algebra asked you to a movie Friday night. For a moment, you felt totally wonderful, and then the worrying set in. “What should I wear? What will we talk about? How should I act? What if he doesn’t like me after all?” All of those questions went through your mind at the same time. In one split second, you worried about anything and ev¬ erything. You debated with your¬ self about whether or not to call the whole thing off. The first date was something that everyone faced sometime in junior high or high school. For many freshmen, it was a time of endless worrying about something that probably turned out just fine. It was a time to spend hours daydreaming and wondering. As Friday night got closer, and closer, you found yourself frantic about everything. You dialed his phone number a hundred times, ready to make up an excuse for why you can’t go out. You consid¬ ered telling him you were deathly ill - anything to get out of that date. But, you knew, way down deep, that you didn’t want to cancel. Finally, Friday night arrived. You rushed home from school to try on what you had planned to wear, and suddenly it did not look right. You went through every¬ thing in your closet, and every¬ thing in your sister’s closet, finally deciding to wear what you had planned all along. You knew it! Your hair would not do a thing. It looked like you never even brushed it. You spent an hour curling and uncurling it, eventually giving up and consider¬ ing suicide. Then it was time to wait. You had 25 minutes to just sit and think about it. Your knees began to shake and your teeth chatter¬ ed. You realized that your mouth was dry and your hands were dripping with sweat. Suddenly, you broke with a loud, fierce hiccup. “Oh, no! Anything but that.” You said a silent prayer, begging God not to let this happen. But, there it was again. You dashed into the kitchen and gulped down three glasses of water. “Please,” you prayed. Silence. More silence. You gasped with relief, telling God that you will never forget this favor. At that moment, the doorbell rang. You ran to check your hair one last time. “Not bad,” you thought. You opened the door, forcing a smile to cover up your nervousness. You stepped out of the door, calling a hasty good-bye to your parents and silently beg¬ ging them not to come meet your date. Mr. Wonderful smiled shyly, reaching to take your hand. You hoped he could not tell how nervous you were, but then you noticed that his hand was wetter than yours. reshmen Jeffrey Adams Brian Adelsberger Barry Allen Yolanda Allen Ramon Allison William Allison Conrad Alston John Alstork Tonia Alstork Brian Amick Chad Andersen Lisa Anderson Michael Anderson Paula Anderson Tishanna Anderson Michael Annis Kara Bailey Kevin Bailey Brian Banks Veronica Banks Shawn Barber Tammy Barker James Barnes Michael Barrett Christopher Beasley Richard Belisle Christopher Bell Stephanie Bell Anna Belvin Shawn Bender Michele Benson Bonnie Benzie Colette Berkley Stacy Berry Jeff Billingsley Danielle Blessing Marcus Blount George Bond David Bonday Jamelle Borden Dawn Bound Julie Boyer Calvin Branch Richard Breslin Aaron Brewster Tiffany Brewton Shari Brickhouse George Brooks Laura Brooks William Brosius Cassandra Brown Eric Brown Jacques Brown James Brown Mark Brown Milan Brown Sabrina Brown Anthony Brylewski Don Burnette Leslie Burney Henry Burns Tommy Burns Robert Burrell Jennifer Byrd Matthew Byrd Amy Cail Christine Caldwell Deborah Campbell Thomas Campbell Kimberly Card Barry Carroll Marcus Cherry Ad-Ch Freshmen GRIN AND BEAR IT!

They learned not to laugh outloud, but how to giggle appropriately with¬ out opening their mouth. They were that legion of youth who, in hopes of one day having straight teeth, wore braces. Anyone who had them would agree that wearing braces was not the most pleasant experience in the world. They were ugly, cum¬ bersome, and an outright embar¬ rassment. But, assured that one day they would be transformed by straight, gleaming teeth, victims resisted the impulse to take a pair of pliers and wrench them out of their mouth. “Wearing braces is a big pain in the neck and sometimes they interfere with my wrestling,” said freshman Chris Morrow. Wrestling was not all they interferred with; eating, talking, and kissing were all complicated by braces. Getting food stuck between your braces was totally humilitating. One of the first things the brace victim learned was to rinse out his her mouth after every meal if he she desired any kind of social life. Pain was another reason to hate that “Heavy Metal.” “Braces are horrible and really painful,” said freshman Sandy Schorr. “Other than that, they’re o-kay.” There were those, however, who, once destined to wear them, looked on the bright side. “Braces are okay,” said fresh¬ man Suzanne Horton. “When you smile, people know your mouth is worth a lot.” Even more enthusiastic was freshman Chantella Evans. “Braces are great,” she said. “At least a lot of people notice you.” HEY, HANDSOME! Travis Ward manages to attract attention despite his mouth full of “Heavy Metal.” ( yd, | s Richard Denzler Christopher Deuell Jacquelyn Dixon Stacey Doria Nisha Dowdell Debbie Dukes Joan Eaton Jason Ebron Mary Eder Gerri Edmunds Wayne Ellington Jason Elliott Phillip Elliott SaDonna Ellison Jacob Epprecht Curtis Erving Chantelle Evans Jack Ezzell Louis Farrackan Stacey Faulk Sharon Fauntleroy Kenneth Ferguson Lisa Ferreira Angelique Ferrell William Foxx Emory Fullwood Angel Futrell Faith Gaines Trina Gallop Robert Garletts Jennifer Gendron Stephen Gibson Lola Gillespie Jennifer Godfrey Melanie Godfrey James Grant Shenita Graves Chad Green Melissa Green Joseph Gregory Freshmen De-Gr reshmen make history; Success of debut depends on 6 officers F ive hundred and one students, some bewil¬ dered and some confi¬ dent, became the first Freshman Class in the school’s history, September 3. The heavy burden of insuring a fun-filled and innovative debut in senior high school rested on the shoulders of the six elected offi¬ cers of the Freshman Class. “As representatives of the class, we’re trying to make this year the best year ever,” com¬ mented Historian Laura Brooks. Sponsored by Mr. John Karat- sikis, the class spent much of the time organizing their initial ap¬ pearance in such traditional events as Homecoming, and en¬ couraging participation. The obvious success of their efforts was reflected in the cap¬ ture of third place in the Home¬ coming float competition. A sec¬ ond coup was placing first in creativity in the Thanksgiving basket project sponsored by the SCA. Class officers cited several different reasons for running for election. “What I like most about being secretary is the spirit one can see in the students,” said Trina Gal¬ lop. The sextet of officers, all girls, sensed how important it was to lead their class. “1 chose to be chaplain because I wanted to play an active role in the class,” remarked Kristin Rom- jue. Historian Laura Brooks planned to make the year “one to remember.” Dedication was also an impor¬ tant quality for a freshman class officer to possess. “The reason I ran for class president was because 1 wanted to contribute part of myself to the class. I hope to represent myself fully and productively and to make this year a memorable one,” said Kristi Torgler. “I found satisfaction in knowing that I am accomplishing some¬ thing for the benefit of my class,” echoed Gallop. With their first most difficult year of adjustment behind them, freshmen looked forward to ad¬ ding to their impressive list of accomplishments in extra-curricu¬ lar activities and sports as sopho¬ mores.

Their shoes were always a few inches off the ground as they maneuvered a board through neighborhood streets or down the surface of a specially constructed ramp. Skateboarding, a winter al¬ ternative to surfing, drew a de¬ vout group of fans who bleached their hair and dressed in brightly colored, loose-fitting clothing to protect the image of a skater. “Skating influences the way 1 dress and act,” said freshman Matt Byrd. Byrd’s board was the result of a birthday and nice parents he said. Skateboarding was not an inex¬ pensive pastime. A ramp was essential to the suburban skater. Freshman Travis Ward construct¬ ed such a device in his backyard. “Altogether, the ramp cost about $250,” he said. Friends usually chipped in on such endeavors. “For two weeks, a few friends helped Jay (Ezzel) and me build it,” said Travis. Skaters experienced a physical and mental satisfaction as they flew through the air, executed tricky jumps and leaps, and practiced their sport. Although not a particularly popular sport in terms of num¬ bers, devout fans enjoyed the self¬ competition and exhilaration of skating. “I feel as if I don’t want to stop,” said Byrd, “I feel great when I skate.” The thrill of reaching the zenith of the ramp and remaining air¬ borne, if only for a few seconds, was what kept skaters coming back for more thrills and more excitement.

Just as John and Paul climbed into the hearts and up the charts 20-years ago, British pop idols of today commanded a huge follow¬ ing of adolescents. Super groups like Duran Duran and the Police, with their catchy pop tunes and manicured good looks, drew an audience among teenaged students. Part of their popularity was attributed to MTV and a proliferation of teen orient¬ ed magazines. “1 absolutely love Sting!” said freshman Andrea Rowe who dec¬ orated her locker with pictures of Sting cut out of magazines. Called “fanzines,” these publi¬ cations thrived on banners like “Meet your favorite idol!” or “Talk to the celebrity of your dreams!” The pages of such magazines as “Rock” or “Teen” featured glossy spreads of pop idols that were promptly scissored and pasted up on the insides of hall lockers. “Fanzines” also ran articles on the stars of the adolescent film genre. Freshman Dionna Crandall liked Michael J. Fox because “he is an outstanding actor,” and freshman Susanna Hallenbeck found heart throb Rob Lowe to be “gorgeous.” Freshman David Bonday ad¬ mired Tom Cruise for his ability to attract women. “He always gets the girl,” said Bonday. Teen heroes were not confined to young celebrities. Freshman Claire Holliday made it a point to watch Bill Cosby’s weekly show, ranked the number one show on television. “We like him because he really understands kids and our prob¬ lems. Besides that, he is hilari¬ ous,” said Holliday.

For fresh¬ man Kara Bailey, it was part of a project she submitted in her ninth grade English class. But, for the freshman class as a whole, it became a symbol of their status: “neither fish nor fowl,” “neither camel nor horse.” Members of the class likened themselves to the “Camorse.” They were not really in high school, but they were no longer in junior high. They were definitely in between, and sometimes it was frightening. “My first week of school as an outsider and freshman was scary,” said Tiffany Brewton. “I walked down every hall with trembling hands and sweaty palms, waiting for a junior or senior to pounce on my thin, scrawny body. “1 knew that all upperclassmen looked upon freshmen as imma¬ ture, crying babies. Probably when I’m a senior, I’ll look upon freshmen that way too,” she explained. Classmate Donna Christopher agreed. “The lowest, scrubbiest, crud on earth is a freshman,” she said. “I know that will be my attitude when I am an upperclassman.” Those first days and weeks of school were a challenge for the freshmen, the first class of ninth graders in the school’s history. “I got lost, forgot my locker combination, and found out the difference between the pool and dark room,” said Kelly McCask- ey. “There were lots of gorgeous guys,” said Leigh Harrison. “But, my friend Joan Eaton got bir d doo-doo dropped on her head by a seagull in the smoking area. She was so embarrassed!” said Leigh. For others, the first day ended on a high note. Not only had they survived, but they had also met some interesting new people. “I got lost in the hall, was late for almost all of my classes, and then met a ‘babe’ in my sixth period class,” said Billy Krahn.

Freshmen SOTamnm 29CGW HOFF UFi HOF! OFF OF! UFi UF1 UFi U Project recalls troubled era Memories of Vietnam revived When Mr. William Cawl¬ ey challenged his experi¬ mental government class with second nine weeks’ projects, minds soared. Projects included creat¬ ing new countries, a pre¬ sentation about cult life, and a music video to a controversial song. One group, however, delved into a project that touched many members of the class and their families - the Vietnam War. Two of the group’s members had fathers who had fought in Vietnam and their project brought home the reality of the Vietnam War. Across the nation, rec¬ ognition of Vietnam vet¬ erans was growing. In Hampton, veterans joined to march in parades and started support groups. In 1984, a memorial to Vietnam soldiers was erected in Washington, D.C. It was dubbed “the Wall’’ and listed in chrono¬ logical order the names of soldiers who died in the Vietnam War. “I am happy that the vets were finally rewarded with recognition,” com¬ mented senior Christine Demastus. “Vietnam should have been a unify¬ ing force for our country. Instead, we were driven apart.” Students in Mr. Cawl¬ ey ' s class said that they chose their project be¬ cause it was a topic shared by many. “I was as choked up as my father was as he relat¬ ed stories of the war. Knowing that so many, including my father, came so close to death was a harsh reality. Knowing that so many died was tragic,” commented se¬ nior Lisa Gingery. The project consisted of a survey of Hampton citizens on their feelings about the war, a cassette tape made from a flight recording in Vietnam dur¬ ing a fire exchange, a survival package for sol¬ diers that included a plas¬ tic map, matches, and food rations, and a slide presentation complete with music. “So many artists have written and sung about Vietnam. It is not difficult to understand the impact that Vietnam had on this country, and will have on the generations after us,” said senior Mark Nystrom. The music for the proj¬ ect included “Walking on a Thin Line” by Huey Lewis and the News and “Good Night Saigon” by Billy Joel, both popular music hits in the early ’80’s. When the group pre¬ sented their project at an exhibition of projects in February, tear-stained faces filled the viewing area. The Vietnam War was, for many, not a memory but a history subject. Edu¬ cating students about the conflict was regarded by the student presenters as preventive medicine. “This is a subject that more students need to know about,” said senior Cathy Clemens. “We were too young to under¬ stand the tragedies of this war when it happened. Maybe, by educating stu¬ dents, it will prevent any¬ thing else like it happening in the future.” The memorials in Washington are well-at¬ tended. Besides “the Wall,” a statue of three soldiers of different races is cast in bronze. To those who look upon it, espe¬ cially the veterans, it ex¬ presses Billy Joel’s re¬ frain from “Goodnight Saigon,” “and we would all go down together.” Hundreds gather around “the Wall” to find the names of loved ones lost in the Vietnam War. “We would all go down together.” The bronze statue of three Vietnam soldiers serves as a remind¬ er of the reality of war.

Where do we go from here? College choice matter of taste As the last strains of “Pomp and Circum¬ stance” faded away, stu¬ dents faced the future. For some, that future included college. The locality, atmo¬ sphere, course offerings, and size were among the factors influencing sen¬ iors’ decisions. “I want to go to Mary Baldwin because it is in the mountains. It is small and has a gorgeous cam¬ pus,” said senior Carin Moore. “Randolph-Macon can give me a good liberal arts background,” said senior Ben Casey. “Besides they have a good party atmo¬ sphere.” Out-of-state schools were also a consideration for students for reasons that ranged from better programs to distance. Senior Robert O’Con¬ nell chose Embry-Riddele Aeronautical University in Daytona, Florida because “they have a good engi¬ neering program with electives in flight.” College became a reali¬ ty for seniors, but under¬ classmen were also aware that college loomed ever closer. Everyone wore college sweatshirts emblazoned with the names of such notables as Oxford Uni¬ versity in England and Princeton. The most wide¬ ly seen sweatshirt was from the University of Virginia, a popular and coveted choice for many of the school’s top stu¬ dents. “UVA is the only school for me,” said junior Robb Lanum. Juniors began to re¬ ceive literature from pro¬ spective colleges, and the difficult decision of where to go seemed to get closer every minute. Sophomores and fresh¬ men were also already concerned about the fu¬ ture and college options. “College is something I have been thinking about for awhile,” stated fresh¬ man Kathy Kontrim. “I’ve been thinking about what I want to do and if I want to spend four more years in school.” Frequent road trips to nearby schools were of¬ ten indications of interest. More and more, high school students spent their weekends in Blacks¬ burg at Virginia Tech or in Charlottesville on the campus of UVA. Guidance counselors also gave students help and advice in choosing colleges. Some schools held early orientations.

The sleeve of the seven inch Christmas single was partly decorated with tra¬ ditional Christmas adorn¬ ments. But, in the corner, starving children huddled, and the question was asked; “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” Conceived by Bob Gel- dof, lead singer of the Irish band, The Boomtown Rats, the 1984 Christmas single, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, was written by Geldof and Scottish rocker Midge Ure of Ultravox. The single was record¬ ed by Band Aid, an all-star assortment of British mu¬ sicians from Phil Collins to Duran Duran. Band Aid’s single sky¬ rocketed to number one in Britain. “Feed the World” became the motto of pop¬ ular music. ‘‘It was a very special song. The talents of so many people combined to save a lot of lives,” said junior Karen Young. The American follow up to “Do They Know It’s Christmas?,” written by superstars Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson, was called “We Are The World.” The recording group called themselves USA for Africa, and the participating musicians ranged from Ray Charles to Bruce Springsteen. The single, also produced by Geldof, hit number one immediately. Once begun, the wheel of Geldof’s mind kept turning, and he conceived a benefit concert. Benefit concerts had been organized and pre¬ sented before, but this one, assured Geldof and the promoters, would be different. The transglobal concert, stretching from Wembley Arena in Lon¬ don to JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, would be a 17 hour music extrava¬ ganza. A chance for popu¬ lar music to make a differ¬ ence was at hand, and the biggest and the brightest stars were set to perform. Scheduled for Saturday, July 13, the concert was billed as the greatest ever, and it was dubbed Live Aid. Tickets sold rapidly along the East Coast for $30 apiece. At 12 noon in London, 7 a.m. in Philadelphia, Fan¬ fare stood on the Wem¬ bley stage to play the English National Anthem. Status Quo went down in history as the first band to play Live Aid. They opened with the classic ‘‘Rockin’ All Over The World.” After an enthusi¬ astic half hour by the Style Council, The Boomtown Rats took the stage at Wembley. “I’ve just realized that today is the best day of my life,” proclaimed Geldof, as he stood in front of the Wembley crowd of 72,000. “This is your Wood- stock,” folk singer Joan Baez told a crowd of 90,000 at JFK. Then the Hooters took the stage. The transglobal broad¬ cast had begun. ‘‘One of the neatest things about Live Aid was that you were able to turn on the TV at any time during the day and see a great act. Great acts played all day long,” said freshman Christy Mor¬ gan. In the hours that fol¬ lowed, the world rocked. Rick Springfield per¬ formed on the JFK stage while Sting and Phil Col¬ lins played a duet at Wem¬ bley Arena. Crosby, Stills, and Nash stirred the Philadelphia crowd with their rendition of “Teach Your Children.” Graham Nash couldn’t be heard as the crowd sang the song for him. While Judas Priest played in Philadelphia, Paul Young dazzled the London crowd with his smash hit, “Everytime You Go Away” and “That’s The Way Love Is,” a duet with Alison Moyet. Canadian rocker Bryan Adams took the stage and performed a song he had written about famine re¬ lief. In the preceding April, “Tears Are Not Enough” had been recorded by Canadian supergroup, Northern Lights. At Wembley, Irish band U2 opened with their pro¬ test song, “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” U2 end¬ ed their set with a 20 minute version of “Bad.” Halfway through the day, over 43 performan¬ ces had been staged at Live Aid.

Following his duet with Sting earlier at Wembley, Phil Collins hopped aboard a Concord jet and arrived in Philadel¬ phia to play a second set. Collins then played the drums for Led Zeplin vet¬ erans Robert Plant, Jim¬ my Page, and John Paul Jones. Duran Duran followed; then Patti LaBelle, Hall and Oates, Mick Jagger, and Tina Turner. Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, and Ron Woods joined to sing the Dylan classic “Blowin’ In The Wind.” Nearly 17 hours after Status Quo rocked all over the world, Lionel Richie and Harry Bela- fonte led a version of “We Are the World” as the amazing day of giving came to an end. Live Aid netted $70 mil¬ lion for famine relief. Bob Geldof, the man with the dream, was nomi¬ nated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts. He said in July, “For a brief, brief moment — everything seemed possi¬ ble ... remember the day you wanted to help ... remember on that day for once in our bloody lives we won. Remember that even though it’s over, it need not stop ... What a day, what a lovely day.” “It was enthralling, a beautiful day. I could hard¬ ly believe all the stars on one stage,” said junior Kim Chiaramida. “Bob Geldof was right. It was a lovely day.

The engaging “Back to the Future,” a Steven Spielberg production, grossed $200 million. A refreshing comedy about time travel, “Back to the Future” vaulted teen star Michael J. Fox to movie stardom. “The Breakfast Club,” an unexpected treasure from John Hughes, was the advent of the ensem¬ ble cast films. In “Breakfast Club,” five young stars shared equal billing in the examination of each other during a Saturday detention at school. “St. Elmo’s Fire” was another popular ensem¬ ble cast film. Seven young stars portrayed seven col¬ lege graduates examining their values. “St. Elmo’s Fire’ was a great film! It was very realistic. I could see my¬ self in that situation,” said junior Eva Montanez. Hughes went on to di¬ rect and produce the spring film “Pretty in Pink” starring “Breakfast Club’s” Molly Ringwald and “St. Elmo’s” Andrew McCarthy as high school students in a rich boy- poor girl motif. When Oscar nomina¬ tions were announced in February, however, the five films nominated were not of the teen vein. “Out of Africa” and “The Color Purple,” both adapted from novels, gained 11 nominations each and were contenders for Best Picture of the year. Other films nominated for Best Picture were “Witness,” starring Harri¬ son “Indiana Jones” Ford, an engaging sus¬ pense film set in Pennsyl¬ vania’s Amish country, “Prizzi’s Honor,” teaming Kathleen Turner and Jack Nicholson, and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” a study of two men in a Brazilian jail. Sydney Pol¬ lack’s “Out of Africa” took the coveted honor. Sequels proved to be a popular endeavor. “Rambo: First Blood II” continued the tale as Sylvester Stallone gunned his way through a Viet¬ namese jungle. Stallone also appeared in the fourth installment of the Rocky Balboa series, “Rocky IV.” “Rambo was great,” exclaimed freshman Brian Neely. “He gave you faith in America.” Another sequel that was highly anticipated by students was “Karate Kid Part II,” due to be re¬ leased during the sum¬ mer. Whereas “Karate Kid Part I” emphasized Ralph Macchio’s move to Ari¬ zona, advanced publicity indicated Pat Morita’s re¬ turn to Okinawa. The films nominated for Best Picture were not really popular with the average student. “I saw ‘Out of Africa’ once,” said sophomore Karen Stern. “But, I saw ‘Back to the Future’ four times. Fox is gorgeous!” DARE TO TAKE HIM ON?

The film version of Alice Walk¬ er’s prose starred Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover and chronicled a woman doomed to a life¬ time of suffering. Among other Spielberg credits are the famous adventure films. Spielberg directed the action packed ‘‘Raiders of the Lost Ark” and its sequel, ‘‘Temple of Doom.” These two pictures cata¬ pulted Harrison Ford into the spotlight and stardom. Spielberg’s first major credit was the acclaimed ‘‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” The most appealing of all his films, “E.T.,” won him interna¬ tional acclaim. Although nominated for an Oscar for ‘‘The Color Purple,” Spielberg was virtually ignored by the Academy. The picture re¬ ceived 11 nominations but did not receive any awards. Where does the most commercially successful director go from here? Only time will tell! Director Steven Spiel¬ berg contributed his usual excellence to the year’s cinematic offerings.

Although used mainly as a back¬ ground print or as lining inside sweaters and jack¬ ets, paisley was also on sweaters and jeans. An attentive observer could even spot it on shoes. “It’s unique, I guess, and I like the designs,” said junior J.R. Soriano, who often displayed his passion for paisley. Although paisley domi¬ nated fashion trends, it was not the only print in style. Cabbage Rose and tapestry patterns were also popular. A fashion¬ able jacket looked like it came from grandma’s curtains. Combined with stirrup pants and big costume jewelry, prints were a guaranteed success. All the tapestry, the big jewel¬ ry and the popular color mauve gave an aura of the Baroque style that flour¬ ished in 18th Century France. PLAID ON PLAID!

France was still the country that dictated fash¬ ion, and, in the fall, a signal went out from Paris telling everyone to wear plaid. The size did not matter; small or large, any plaid was fashionable. Two patterns could even be mixed, as long as the basic color theme was maintained. Fashion influence came from other sources than leading fashion design¬ ers. Students imitated what their rock star idols were wearing. Long coats worn by the group Duran Duran took flight, and suddenly long dark coats were here, there and ev¬ erywhere. “I got mine from a friend’s attic,” revealed sophomore David White- house of his coat. “It was his grandfather’s, so it is really old. That, together with its dark color, gives it a certain mystery. Be¬ sides, it looks neat,” he said.

Baggy shirts, big sweaters, with patterns, and extra long cardigans were all worn in layers - with all the layers show¬ ing. Soft colors predom¬ inated in clothing, while bright colors dominated in jewelry, shoes and other accessories. When it came to shoes, high top tennis shoes were the newest items in style. Similar to other fashionable clothing, shoes came in all different kinds of designs, colors, and patterns. Other fashion state¬ ments were throwbacks to the ’50’s when teen¬ agers borrowed Dad’s shirt to wear with jeans, only this time a sweater was worn over the shirt. Long skirts also made a come back, especially in the spring. Graduation dresses reflected the lon¬ ger, leaner look.

There were so many disasters that man was helpless to combat - hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, mud slides, famine, and pesti¬ lence. Were the Four Hor¬ semen of the Apocalypse riding across the sky? And, then, on a crisp, cold, sunny day in Janu¬ ary above the glistening waters of Cape Canav¬ eral, to the horror of on¬ lookers at the Cape and audiences tuned in on television, the shuttle Challenger exploded and a fiery ball streaked out of control across the sky. The unthinkable had hap¬ pened — disaster in space! It was a flight that had been postponed several times. It was not a particu¬ larly important flight, ex¬ cept that it carried the first teacher into space. But, as flights go, there was no reason to sense failure and death waiting in the sky.

Christa McAu- liffe was a wife, mother, and teacher, and she was living a dream. She laughed joyously as she floated in the air in a weightless environment, and she spoke proudly as she discussed her lesson plans from space. McAuliffe was not alone in her quest. There were seven on board. Six astro¬ nauts, who had dedicated their lives to fulfilling this mission, joined her in re¬ joicing in their good for¬ tune. Earlier that morning, they waved goodbye as they walked, single file, out to the transport van. They smiled, held their heads high, almost strut¬ ted to the shuttle. They were brave and fearless. They were explorers of space, adventurers, the romantic heroes of our time. They were ageless and timeless, yet they were mark ed for death. Perhaps McAuliffe’s death and the deaths of the other six brilliant as¬ tronauts were the great¬ est lesson of all. We were not indestructible. We were not always in con¬ trol.

America’s answer to terrorism is An air strike on Libya The earth was still damp and loose on the young soldier’s grave when, in the predawn blackness of April 15, 33 Navy and Air Force jets screamed over the Medi¬ terranean Sea toward Lib¬ ya. For the first time, America was using its titantic military power to strike back at terrorism. America’s raid on Libya was in the name of Sgt. Kenneth Ford, one of the 232 people injured or kil¬ led in the bombing of a fashionable discotheque in West Berlin. Following an indisputable trail of evidence, the Reagan ad¬ ministration connected the blast to a team of international killers train¬ ed by Libyan leader Muammar Khaddafy. “I feel we were perfectly justified in bombing Lib¬ ya,” said junior David Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy, along with many others, sup¬ ported Reagan’s stab at Libyan fanaticism, which consisted of aerial attacks on Tripoli and Khaddafy’s command and communi¬ cations center. “America must stand up for her rights when she is threatened by madmen like Khaddafy,” Shau¬ ghnessy added. While the validity of future American retribu¬ tion remained in question, the Libyan response was immediate and poignant. In Lebanon, the corpses of three Western teach¬ ers, one American, were dumped on a road near a university in Beirut. The U.S. Embassies throughout the Middle East reported a rash of violent protest in their respective capital cities, mostly fostered by Abu Nidal’s crazed troupe of terrorists. While England came under fire for its support of American bombings by allowing American jets to take off from English soil, a host of other European governments discredited Reagan’s eye-for-an-eye policy for foreign affairs. The United States, how¬ ever, reveled in patriotism and a content feeling of avengence. “If we are not ready to defend our own people and our own ideals, then we have no right to be such a great country,” said senior Chad Riten- continued on page 123 EXTRA!

In San Sal¬ vador, six Americans were gunned down in an outdoor cafe. South Bei¬ rut existed solely as a cage for dozens of West¬ ern journalists and con¬ suls imprisoned there by the Shiites. As the months progres¬ sed, terrorists became frighteningly adept at ex¬ ploiting the prudence of Western societies. There were other haun¬ ting episodes in the Mid¬ dle East. Near the end of October, PLO hijackers seized the Achille Lauro, an Italian liner, and sin¬ gled out American Leon Klinghoffer. In a cruel dra¬ ma that sorely tested the Reagan administration’s capabilities for combat¬ ting terrorism, the hijack¬ ers fired a bullet through the head of Klinghoffer and pitched the corpse into the Mediterranean Sea. “You wonder what makes a terrorist tick,” pondered junior Allen Glover. “They force tour¬ ists and diplomats to be pawns in a deadly and complex game that has no visible conclusion.” This time, however, the game had a grand finale. As the hijackers of the Achille Lauro fled Cairo in a B oeing 747 bound for Tunisia, four US Navy Tom Cat fighter-intercep¬ tors forced the chartered Egyptian airliner to land in Sicily, where they were taken into custody. Despite the capture of the hijackers and the American attack on Libya, global terrorist strategy was not completely paci¬ fied. “Although the attack on Libya signed a death war¬ rant for Americans throughout the world,” said junior Robb Lanum, “there is a danger in doing absolutely nothing; it will only invite terrorists to try again. I think President Reagan made the right decision,” he added.

Working students often came under fire for the amount of time they spent on the job, but most agreed that they were able to manage their time bet¬ ter than before. “When I started work¬ ing, many people told me that my grades would drop.

Dealer ' s Choice ■-tfiiiu wiiwiki TiiLiwowiNi t iMwn§n@iKi til Bill Cosby Show,’ ‘Miami Vice’ help create The new image of TV The sound of machine gunfire changed into a throbbing electronic rock beat. Images flashed by: a flock of exotic pink Fla¬ mingos, girls in skimpy bikinis on the beach, an explosion of race horses from the starting gate, white caps under the bow of a motorboat. Then came the famous logo in eye-catching tur¬ quoise and pink. With flashy visuals and a rock music score, “Miami Vice” set a new trend in contemporary TV. The program was dubbed as an hour long music video and often guest starred some of the hot¬ test names in rock ’n’ roll: Glenn Frey, the Power Station, and Phil Collins. The “good guy vs. bad guy” motif was also ex¬ amined every Friday night on “Miami Vice” as Don Johnson and Philip Mi¬ chael Thom as, starring as vice squad detectives Crocket and Tubbs, bat¬ tled drugs and organized crime on the streets of Miami. The program was so popular that even Chrys¬ ler big wig Lee lacoca was signed for a guest spot. “I love ' Miami Vice,’” said freshman Michelle Benson. “It is exciting and suspenseful, and Don Johnson is great!” It was NBC’s year. While “Miami Vice” daz¬ zled audiences on Friday nights, the most popular program for everyone was the critically acclaim¬ ed “The Cosby Show” aired on Thursday nights on NBC. For years, Bill Cosby had entranced live audi¬ ences with his comedy in a different way than other black comedians, such as Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. Cosby simply told stories of his child¬ hood in Philadelphia and brought to life remem¬ brances of his childhood friends, Fat Albert and Weird Harold. He released albums of his routines that included his hilarious stor¬ ies of Noah, the Garden of Eden, and Chicken Heart. One album was entitled, “To Russell my brother whom I slept with.” When Cosby went to a television situation come¬ dy, it was destined to be a hit for the first few weeks. Some critics con¬ tended, before “The Cos¬ by Show” hit the air, that its popularity would wane after the first couple of weeks. But, “The Cosby Show” pleasantly sur¬ prised everyone. “I enjoy watching “The Cosby Show” because it brings across the prob- continued on page 129 A PLEASANT SUR¬ PRISE! “The Cosby Show” stays at number one the entire season.

Cosby starred as an obstetrician with Phylicia Ayers-Alien Rashad starring as his attorney wife. With four children under his roof and one at college, Dr. Cliff Huxtable dealt with the small mom¬ ents in a family’s life. It didn’t have gag lines, but was a look into the special moments in every family’s existence - the death of a goldfish, a nightmare caused by a scary movie, a daughter’s first car.

Following “The Cosby Show” on Thursday nights was another popu¬ lar half hour sitcom, “Family Ties,” starring Michael J. Fox of “Back to the Future” fame. While “Family Ties” be¬ gan as the generation gap reversed, with liberal par¬ ents facing conservative children, it mellowed into a nostalgic comedy about American family life. Fox was Alex Keaton, the ul¬ tra-conservative son of Meredith Baxter Birney and Michael Gross. Jus¬ tine Bateman and Tina Yothers played Michael’s sisters, Mallory and Jen¬ nifer. “The program ‘Family Ties’ is great. The people do not act fake like most comedies these days. They are always helping each other with problems and doing things that the ail-American family does,” said sophomore Michelle Hardy. According to a student poll, “The Cosby Show” and “Miami Vice” were the most popular with “Family Ties” following. “Moonlighting,” “Dy¬ nasty,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “Night Court” were also listed as popu¬ lar shows. “Dynasty,” a glitzy nightime soap opera, starred Joan Collins, Linda Evans, and John Forsythe. The problems of the Carrington family involved oil, business, and family feuds. The success of “Dynasty” bred a se¬ quel, “The Colbys,” that starred Charlton Heston and Emma Samms. As the scope of televi¬ sion changed from “Little House on the Prairie” to “Hill Street Blues,” the boob-tube gained a brand new image and devoted teenage fans. Dealer’s Choice Core offerings expand; Students learn about new concepts in enriched courses BASICS “The more I learn, the more I learn how much I have to learn,” said Charlie Brown of Peanut’s fame. Learning and growing were what it was all about as students faced new chab lenges and increased oppor¬ tunities in academic areas. The addition of Psychol¬ ogy, ninth grade chorus, ex¬ tended language courses, and a gifted program added to core offerings. “Magnet School gave me an opportunity to experiment with various aspects of physics that otherwise wouldn’t have been available to me,” said senior Ingo Schiller.

Like drinking your milk, eating your veggies, and brushing your teeth, some things were basic. When it came to school, you had to have those same old required courses that everyone said were “good for you.” English, history, math, P.E., and science - those were the basics and every student who harbored hopes of graduating in the near future had to take them. In addition, the mandatory 20 credit diploma and the neces¬ sary six classes a day meant only one thing to students; they must fulfill the require¬ ments. English was a requirement for everyone in grades nine through twelve. The curricu¬ lum focused on thematic approaches to works studied, and themes ranged from struggles and conflicts to the “American Dream” to universal constants. Thanks to innovative teachers, most students found the curriculum to be beneficial. “I feel that English is a good require¬ ment. It enhances our writing skills and prepares us for the many challenges we will face in college,” said senior Brian Covington. History was another constant in the curriculum. Freshmen were exposed to World Geography or World Culture, juniors to U.S. History, and seniors to government. “The World Cultures class I had mad me more interested in world happenings,” said freshman Elise Melberg. Freshmen, such as Melberg, had fewer elective choices available as guidance coun selors encouraged them to get the required courses out of the way. Most ninth graders were faced with a schedule that included English, math, science,’ either World Cultures or geography, and Physical Education. Each class counted a full credit toward graduation, but the packed schedule left freshmen with only one choice of an elective. Sophomores had more freedom in “The World Cultures class has made me more interested. ” choosing courses, as only three, English, math, and biology, were mandatory in the tenth grade. Sophomores elected to take a foreign language or enrolled in specialized classes such as band, chorus, journalism, and P.E. Sophomores were also burdened with the required Minimum Competency Tests. “I didn’t know you had to pass the test continued on page 134 fjp ■VnK £ r L IT GOES LIKE THIS!

Second semester they studied human biology and ecology,” said Mrs. Maggie Oliver, science teacher. Basic requirements behind them, juniors became well aware of the fact that this was the year that academics counted the most. With the prospect of college applications just around the corner, juniors dedicated them¬ selves to excelling in U.S. History and English. “History is a very important aspect of life and all high school students should be exposed to the origins of their country,” said junior Kris Green. Juniors never had time to spare as they were assigned what seemed like an endless number of projects and papers in all of their classes. “It’s a tough year,” said junior Jennifer Brown. “You have so many projects to do, and the pressure is really on to do well. Your whole future depends on how well you do this year or at least it seems that way,” she said. “Senioritis” became contagious when seniors realized that they only had two more requirements to fulfill before graduation. As they fought the symptoms of the disease, they struggled with strenuous English and government classes, and rounded out their schedules with electives. The government curriculum included studies encompassing the operations of federal, state, and local governments. Sen¬ iors also studied the nation’s judicial system. The class involved a host of projects, “Your whole future de¬ pends on how well you do this year. ” including an extensive paper on political ideology. “Government is a good mandatory class because it helps us to better understand what is happening in today’s political world,” said senior Nicole Annis. Popular electives in English and social studies for juniors and seniors, who found they now had some time on their hands, included Public Speaking, Mass Media, Art of the Film, Sociology, Psychology, and Economics. Activities in these electives continued on page 136 IT’S CHANGING COLOR! Teddy Earls and Jake Young experiment with heat and chemicals during their chemistry class. TALK TO ‘TONDRA!

For a select group of five seniors, a week in Washington, D.C. in the Presidential Classroom project was an unforgettable experience. The five, Kevin Rose, Elizabeth Chisman, Ingo Schiller, Chad Ritenour, and Shelly Spencer, were chosen to attend Presidential Classroom by the Social Studies Department. “Presidential Classroom was a great learning, as well as a social, experience. I learned a lot about Washington, D.C. and political power. The people were what really made the entire experience terrific,” said senior Elizabeth Chisman. And last, but not least, students took mathematics courses ranging from geometry and Consumer Math to Calculus and Com¬ puter Math to round out the basic curriculum. Math courses, sometimes frustrating for students, gave other individuals a sense of gratification and a feeling of accomplishment. “It gave me a good feeling to know that I could tackle and solve a difficult problem. It made me feel as though I accomplished something,” said senior Jackie Vaisvil. College-bound juniors and seniors were also required to take SAT’s. These tests were considered bothersome and worrisome by students who often depended on the scores for admittance to a chosen college. “It’s amazing how your entire high school career can be summed up in a matter of three hours,” lamented junior Katherine Padgett. With reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic behind them, students began to realize the distant dream of graduation would be a reality someday. “It made me feel as though I had accom¬ plished something. ” “Sometimes it seems like you will never get through with all those basic courses- English, history, math, and science. But, really you learn a lot that will help you in the future,” said junior Mark Kirk. “The only problem is that sometimes you don’t realize it.” COMPARING NOTES: Ben Casey, Monica Craw¬ ford, J.R.

Basics Mounds of work are a challenge for the GIFTED T he students had four papers due in three days and not a single one had been started. With the threat of a test hanging over their heads, they strained to catch up, but that meant neglecting other classes. The pile of work was a mountain looming over them, causing them to lose sleep. Before they knew it, it was time for final exams and they were buried under an avalanche. This was a common predica¬ ment for the AP and Gifted students. “They were the most challenging clas¬ ses I’ve ever taken,” said junior Kathie Krumpen. “But, I’m really glad I decided to take them.” Krumpen, along with other juniors and seniors, suffered through the AP Block Program. For juniors, that consisted of AP History taught by Mrs. Sara Alligood and Gifted English taught by Mrs. Sophia Ro¬ mano. Seniors agonized over AP English, taught by Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, and Honors Government, taught by Mr. William Cawley. AP History and Government focused on the “why” of events and interpretation of facts. To do this, students learned to rely on plenty of outside research. The Gifted and AP English student also learned to analyze and understand facts. Juniors spent the year discussing the Ameri¬ can Dream, immigration, justice, Civil Rights, and the arts. Meanwhile, seniors in the AP program learned to analyze and recognize authors and their works. Due the last nine weeks of second semester, the dreaded research paper was the culmination of the course. The whole month of May centered around my work on the research paper,” said senior Susan Stewart. “I ignored all of my other classes.” Freshmen and sophomores also got a “They were the most challenging classes I’ve ever taken . ” taste of what gifted classes were like. Both had gifted English classes, consisting of analysis for freshmen and writing and autob¬ iographies for sophomores. Most students enjoyed the challenge. “I love these classes and I wouldn’t trade the people or the teachers for anything in the world,” said sophomore Karen Stern. The Advanced Placement and Gifted curriculum was challenging but rewarding for those students in the program.

TRIBAL TALES editors Patricia Weismantel and Sharon Ad¬ cock proofread newspaper copy for the next issue of the paper. OVERTIME: Meg Gorski and Christy Hill give up a Saturday to finish the junior spreads. Staff works overtime to meet deadlines FRENZY N ine o’clock Saturday morning a sleepy, grumpy crew of journal¬ ists, bent on finishing copy and meeting another deadline for the yearbook, walked into Room CD 26. It was cold, no heat on Saturdays, and they were hungry, but they got out rulers, pictures, and layout sheets to begin the task. “Journalism is great! Mrs. Grimm is very understanding and if you meet deadlines, it’s fun,” said senior Ken Hatchett, working, as usual, with his feet propped up on the table. The staff of TRIBAL TALES and the TOMAHAWK struggled to meet endless deadlines. They were constantly working on some phase of one publication or another in CD26. The room became a home away from home for many staffers, who spent free time and vacations writing copy, taking and developing pictures, and planning layout. “It’s an exciting way to experience people and to learn something new,” said senior Milissa Flora as she pieced together a newspaper layout. Because of the high ratings of last year’s publications, two Trophy awards from the Virginia Scholastic Press Associa¬ tion and two First Class awards with marks of distinction from National Scholastic Press Association, the staff was under pressure to do as well. “You come to appreciate what goes into the production of an award winning newspaper and yearbook while having fun,” said Co-Editor of TRIBAL TALES Patricia Weismantel. The theme of the yearbook, “A Full House Beats Three of a Kind,” meant a great deal to the students. It meant a bigger yearbook, more areas to cover, and more work to do. In addition, ads had to be sold, a huge index had to be typed, and seemingly endless copy had to be written. The staff worked overtime. Members of both staffs attended a Meet the Press Workshop at the Daily Press Times Herald, Inc., November 19. Students had opportunities to talk with professional journalists, tour the darkroom, newsroom, editorial offices, and to watch a press run. A “You come to appreci¬ ate what goes into the production ...” critique of the paper by Lifestyles Editor Joan Johnson and a buffet lunch were highlights of the day. “I enjoyed learning about the journalism profession and hope it will help me in writing stories for the newspaper,” said junior Rick Richter, news editor for TRIBAL TALES. As usual, an approaching deadline caused a frenzy of activity. “If anyone has a complaint about the yearbook or newspaper, they can do it themselves. Then, they will understand how hard we work and how much fun we have,” said senior Amy Pearson. “It is an experience that can help you in other aspects of your life,” said editor Weismantel. NOT ANOTHER CAPTION! TOMAHAWK editors Susan Stewart and Elizabeth Chisman finish up a layout by rewriting some captions. Journalism 141 Foreign language courses gain in popularity CHOICES U F oreign Language, don’t leave home without one,” proclaimed the popularity of the foreign language curricu¬ lum during Foreign Language Week early in March. Posters and banners decorated the halls, classrooms, and cafeteria during this annual observance of the importance of foreign languages in the high school curricu¬ lum. Students created such slogans as ‘‘We Are The World - Do you speak our lan¬ guage?” and “Foreign Language will take you away,” to advertise the courses. “Take my advice and take a foreign language,” said junior Kevin Siemann. “You will never forget the experience.” Over 800 students were enrolled in the foreign language program that included four years of Spanish, four years of French, four years of German, and three years of Latin. The increase in students was credited to the addition of a freshman class and the Gover¬ nor’s diploma. Foreign language students often found the course requirements to be difficult. “Mrs. Jordan is really a hard teacher,” said senior Naomi Maislin. “She wants you to learn and be the best at Spanish as possible,” she explained. Although burdened by nightly prepara¬ tions, students cited a variety of reasons for taking a language. “By taking Latin, 1 do better on things like the SAT’s,” said junior Tracy Parady. During Foreign Language Week, stu¬ dents were treated to a lecture by Colonel Horoshi Araki, a Japanese Liaison Officer from Fort Monroe. A special assembly for foreign language students featured speaker Dr. Helen Warri- ner-Burke, associate director of languages “By taking Latin, I do better on things like the SA T’s. ” from the State Department of Education. Dr. Burke addressed the issues of career and college requirements In classes, students were exposed to “cultural experiences,” often lavish spreads of native foods. They learned native dances and customs and practiced conversation. The curriculum was definitely a “broadening experience.” “If I keep eating all that good food I’ll gain weight,” said Siemann.

Choices Making the grades can be more fun with W hat did it take to produce a work of art, an archetype for all masterpieces, the mold for future reference? It took more than just the precision of a steady hand, more than just the penetrating eyes of Superman, more than just the imagination of a thousand da Vinci’s. For creating the masterwork of all time, one that befitted a certain genre, a symbol of true perfection, it took style! Style! What was it? How did students achieve it? Doing it with “style” in vocational classes meant drilling and hammering, sew¬ ing the straightest seam, drawing the squar- est boxes, and painting the finest art. “Styling it right? It’s what’s good for each individual person,” said junior Rhonda Collier. “It’s not only what you wear,” said sophomore James Smith. “It’s what you do, what you say. It’s you all wrapped up!” During second period in room 838, Mr. Ruben Daniel’s drafting class began many projects. Within a week, junior Scott Smith had transformed a few oddly sketched lines into a model of a plane. “Well,” Smith said, “I never expect a masterpiece or anything, but it has a certain style and it usually turns out okay.” In Mr. Claude Hopson’s first period woodshop, students were filled with a festive spirit. By the end of the first semester, room 827 was overrun with wooden reindeer. Freshman Neil Quesnel could be seen adjusting the ears and nose of his friend and standing him up for display. At the same time, room 829 was busy at work. Junior Terrence Canaday, a metal shop student, had finished his paperweight “1 never expect a mas¬ terpiece, but it usually turns out okay!” and was working on a door knob. “With metal shop,” said Canaday, “I’m getting the basic training that I’ll need when I go to technical college. By then, I hope I really know what I’m doing.” Charcoal pencils and erasers scratched away in Mr. Curtis Hubbard’s fourth period drawing class, as students, like freshman Tina Scoggin, started first sketches of future works of art.

After it dries, we can scratch away the ink and produce a picture,” Berger explained. “It’s very easy!” he added. 1CT taught students a wealth of practi¬ cal information. Seniors Kelly Fee and Lila Jones learned the fundamentals of hair care and how to get a head start on a career. “ICT is more than a class. For instance, some of us demonstrated hair cuts on career day and we gave pedicures and manicures to the students at the Virginia School of the Deaf and Blind at Hampton. It’s like real-life training.” Distributive Education students also engaged in on-the-job-training. “Believe it or not,” exclaimed senior Kellee Gorham, “it does take style to work at Chick-fil-a! First, you have to (Junk the chicken in the milkwash and then dump them in the machine to fry. It’s an involving process.” In Mrs. Pat Sperry’s home economics classes, the sewing machines rattled and rolled. Junior Lisa Kallush prepared to make herself a duck-tail shirt. “We also cook,” said Kallush. “So far, I’ve made taco salad and quiche. It tasted pretty good, too!” Sewing machines stitched away in the corners of Mrs. Sue Smith’s home economics class. Sophomore Joella Clardy took three days to sew a sweat shirt. “I would have finished it sooner, but it had to be perfect,” explained Clardy. Future engineers, like junior Kevin Koren, drafted three-dimensional squares “1 would have finished it sooner, but it had to be perfect. ” and circles. Industrial Arts students made ashtrays, ceramic bears, and napkin holders. Style was everywhere. Whether cooking, sewing, working, or creating, students in Vocational Education courses gained practical experience. Developing a style is awesome,” said sophomore Clardy. And indeed it was!

If you enrolled in a music class, band, or one of four choruses, you made a commitment to the program. It was much more than a class; it was a vocation. “The band is a commitment. You have to be willing to go beyond the ‘call of duty!’” said junior Gi Gi Murphy. “1 find myself making sacrifices, but, in the end, it is all worth it.” The band marched in numerous par¬ ades, such as the Phoebus Day Parade, the Hampton Christmas Parade, and the Home¬ coming Parade. Members also took part in several “seafood parades” in the area and won First Place in the Poquoson Seafood Festival in September. In addition, the rigorous band schedule included the Monster Band, the Daily Press Times Herald Christmas Fund Concert, and the annual school Christmas assembly, all in December. A new addition to the core curriculum was a pep band that went to away football games and played a major role in increasing school spirit. “A lot of people think the pep band is a waste of time, but I really do think it helps,” said senior Lydia Martin, one of three band drum majors. The highlight of the year for the band was a trip to Florida on April 1 to participate in the Parade of Lights at Disney World. To pay for the trip, band students sold every¬ thing from candy to 1,000 crates of oranges raising enough money, $30,000, for the trip. “This was the most exciting part of the year for me,” said senior Alison Johnson. “My only regret is that I could not stay lon ger,” she added. Members of the band wound up the year with a Spring Concert May 20, a banquet May 28, and a final, impressive performance at Graduation, June 14. For those students “with a song in their hearts,” enrollment in chorus was an all- ... “You have to be willing to go beyond the ' call of duty! 9 99 consuming experience. “Chorus is a necessity. It is one class period where you really have fun and get away from the core curriculum,” said senior Lesa Seabolt. “Being involved in Harbor Lights has taught me to express myself, not only in the singing, but also to convey my feelings in different ways,” she explained. Under the direction of energetic Choral Director Ms. Betsy Forrest, students were members of Harbor Lights, A Cappella Choir, Touch of Jade, Mixed Chorus, or the Choraliers, a ninth grade choir. “I think music is needed, not only for the academic value, but also to give students a sense of pride and accomplishment,” said sophomore Janet Browning. “I, for one, have great pride in being a part of the A Cappella Choir, and I hope to continued on page 150 ANOTHER BUSY DAY: Alison Johnston, Amy Mounger, Tarita Allen, and Adriene Duncan listen attentively to directions during a band rehearsal.

Choral students particpated in numer¬ ous concerts, among them the Daily Press Times Herald Christmas Concert, two assem¬ blies, a Mid-Winter Concert, the District Choral Festival, where they received Superi¬ or ratings, the Miss KHS Pageant, the All- City Music Festival, a spring concert, and Baccalaureate, June 8. ‘‘I have a lot of fun in there,” said senior Ben Casey, a member of Harbor Lights. ‘‘It gives you energetic feelings and has been a very enjoyable experience. I have made new friends and being in Harbor Lights gives you an extra dimension. It’s really hard work! Ms. Forrest works us day in and day out,” he explained. Auditions and competitions were also vital aspects of the music curriculum. Fifteen students made Regional Chorus in November at Gloucester High School and junior Chris¬ tine Knight was selected for All-Virginia Chorus in February. Touch of Jade, members of the A Cappella Choir who rehearsed after school as an ensemble, included the Blue Ridge Show Choir Festival on their schedule in April. Harbor Lights, a talented ensemble, added 14 additional performances to their already busy schedule, performing for such groups as the Ladies of Scottish Rites, Fort Monroe Officers’ Wives, the state convention of the PEO, Citizen of the Month luncheons, YMCA, Hampton Credit Union, and guests at retirement ceremonies for school board officials. Harbor Lights also performed during Hampton Ed ucation Week at the Coliseum Mall and in a program for the Core Curricu¬ lum Conference at the Holiday Inn. The Blue Ridge Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Show Choir Festival, where they placed third overall and won the trophy for ‘‘Best Vocal Sound, were highlights of the year for the ensemble. “... being in Harbor Lights gives you an extra dimension A new choir, formed in September to accommodate the numerous ninth graders who wanted to take chorus, was dubbed the Choraliers. Distinguishing themselves in their first real competition, the choir received a Superior rating in the District Choral Festival. Sophomore Kara Morey summed up the feelings of the majority of music students when she stressed the need for music in their daily lives. ‘‘I think it is something everyone should have because it gives a relief from intensive studying. Everyone needs to have a musical background - a song in their hearts,” she said. FA LA LA LA!

Classified as “get-by-classes” by some, business courses and computer math proved to be challenging electives. “I never thought that learning how a computer works would be so difficult. The basics of several computer languages doesn’t come easy but takes a lot of practice and memorization,” said senior Wade Barber. Students took practical, skill-oriented classes to help prepare them for college and jobs after high school. The “real world” loomed ahead for many business students and they concentrated on achieving future goals. “By working with computers, 1 really feel as if I have a head start on college next year. I now know what it would be like to start my own business,” explained senior Amy Fegter. Learning tasks, such as accounting, computer programming, and typing, gave “ thought typing would be easy , but it was really difficult ” students experience in the business world: accounting increased students’ awareness of today’s business market; computer height¬ ened students’ abilities to understand tech¬ nology, and typing was a skill necessary for many jobs. “FIRST YOU FIND THE AMPLITUDE!” Wade Barber and Scott Polinski work on a sine wave program for Mrs. Stacey Garber’s Computer Math class. The course was an elective for students interested in computers. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

Captain Charles Futch speaks to Cadet Eric Williams during the Area Five NJROTC inspection, February 27. LEADING THE RANKS: Matt Tilley, company commander, prepares to lead the NJROTC in the presentation of colors at the Homecoming bas¬ ketball game, February 14. Confidence and leadership encouraged in NJROTC O ne place the freshmen made a big difference, among other factors, was in the NJROTC. Enrollment in the unit was at an all time high of 142 cadets. Other factors contributing to the popu¬ larity of the corps were increased college opportunities, interest in Ocean Navigation as a career choice, and a renewed sense of patriotism and pride in the country and the military. “ROTC developed my ledership ability and gave me greater confidence in myself. It has also strengthened the sense of pride that I have for this country,” said junior Tracie Parady. In its first appearance, the Phoebus Day Parade, the unit received a First Place Trophy. Commander Beale Kinsey was “gratified,” since over half of the cadets were ninth or tenth graders marching for the first time. The Color Guard, after enduring many long hours of drill, was also rewarded with a First Place in the Willow Oaks Childrens’ Christmas Parade. The cadets beat out two Senior Color Guards from Langley Air Force Base and Fort Monroe. “It took a lot of practice and the underclassmen showed that they can per¬ form with the older members,” said senior Ricky Wooten. Led by Company Commander senior Matt Tilley, the unit participated in the Thanksgiving basket donation and the Christ¬ mas door decorating contest. The unit also marched in halftime shows, parades, and other competitions during the year. “Cadets learned some basic lessons of life by participating in the program,” said Commander Kinsey. “By applying themselves, they became leaders instead of followers. Everyone learned to work together to make the unit the best,” he added. In February, the cadets geared up for the most important event of the year, the annual inspection by the area commander. Captain Charles Futch, Area Five Manager “Cadets learned some basic lessons of life by participating ...” of NJROTC programs for 30 separate schools, inspected February 27. “The unit is doing everything the Navy wants it to and attention to detail in shoesh- ines and uniforms reflects pride in the unit,” said Captain Futch. “I think the inspection went very well. There was improvement over last year,” he added. But, all was not work. Freshman Stan Carroll had joined the unit “because I thought it would be a lot of fun.” Once the inspection was out of the way, cadets enjoyed picnics and get-togethers just for fun. For freshman Frank Kenyon, the year was also one of inspiration. “Commander Kinsey inspires me to work my hardest and become the best that I can be,” said Kenyon. READY TO MARCH! The NJROTC Color Guard stands ready to step out as the first unit in the Homecoming Parade. NJROTC 155 Clubs flourish, produce; New interests allow members to experiment with ideas S DE BETS “The Drama Club will rehearse after school today. The Latin club will meet Tuesday morning. The Key Club will meet Wednesday to discuss fund raisers . . Ex- tra curricular activities were alive and producing. Clubs and organizations flourished with increased membership because of the addition of enthusiastic freshmen. Students experimented in new areas such as communica¬ tion, government and politics. “You can really experi¬ ment with a lot of new ideas in the extra curricular clubs,” said junior Randy Wildes. The abundance of activi¬ ties and larger memberships in extra-curricular activities con¬ vinced students that “A Full House Beats Three of a Kind” in student activities.

Clubs sell candy, host of hot items to raise funds P anning for gold in Califor¬ nia was simple compared to stalking the halls and scouring the neighbor¬ hood to sell candy, stationery, or other “hot” items for one or more club or organization’s traditional money-making projects for a worthy cause. It was all done in the name of “Fundraising” and members re¬ sorted to a variety of gimmicks to earn money. Keyettes even sold “Bunny-Grams” at Easter. “Occasionally, selling gets to be hectic when you belong to more than one club and each hold their fundraising activities at the same time. Yet, in the end, I feel everyone benefits,” said junior Russell Alves. Items sold included wrapping paper, fruit, doughnuts, cookie pies, advent calendars, gummi bears, candles, chocolate Easter Bunnies, stuffed animals, hats, football programs, flowers, candy grams, lollipops, and a ride in a limousine. “The most popular sale item was definitely the candy,” said school bookkeeper Mrs. Theresa Adams. “Fundraising is a necessary evil,” said Mr. William Cawley, SCA sponsor. “The clubs and organizations do so much to promote school spirit and aid the community. It’s a shame students have to use so much of their time in fundraising. But, then they would not have the necessary operating capital to do their work,” he explained. Other innovative ideas for raising money were a picture on Santa’s lap (Science Club), run¬ ning the concession stand at basketball games (Choral groups), raffles (NJROTC), and “Faculty Frolics” (Debate and chorus). The hit of the year’s fundrais¬ ers was “Faculty Frolics,’ ” said continued on page 160 A CAPPELLA CHOIR - FRONT ROW: Cathy Thomas, Carla Mason, Myrtle Thomas, Julie Wright, Sheila Watts, Nancy Petticolas, J.R.

Band members helped to finance a $30,000 trip to Disney World in April to march in the Electric Light Parade. TORCH staffers sold candy, stationery, and flowers to offset the cost of publication. Other clubs spent money on field trips, banquets, and special events. Some contributed to char¬ itable organizations in the commu¬ nity and sponsored delegates to Boys’ and Girls’ State. Still others, like chorus and debate, attended workshops and competitions to develop skills in their areas of expertise. “The cost of attending com¬ petitions is enormous,” said Ms. Betsy Forrest, choral director. “Brother can you spare a dime?” became a familiar ques¬ tion from club salesmen.

Fundraisers Working long hours pays off for students B lood, sweat and tears! Days and nights of long rehearsals, tedious lay¬ out sessions, or hours spent me morizing scripts and choosing literary selections went into production efforts for several organizations. For the Drama Club, the TORCH staff, and the Radio and TV Club, production was their top priority. The demand to do “quality work” took its toll on students, but it all paid off. “The least enjoyable aspect of a production is the drudgery of rehearsals and all of the problems that crop up,” said Chris Hollow¬ ay, Drama Club president and director of the musical “Grease.” “When all of the combined efforts of cast and directors are put together and it works, I just can’t describe the feeling,” said Holloway. The technical directors of “Grease,” juniors Mike Brown and Jeff Covington, were respon¬ sible for 10 alternative sets, two major extending ramps, and put¬ ting an automobile into the audito¬ rium. “It was fun,” said Covington. “It gave me experience that I might be able to use later on,” he said. The Drama Club had both a fall production, “Plaza Suite,” and “Grease” in March. “Grease” was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the club and was a resounding suc¬ cess. For TORCH staffers, produc¬ tion consisted of a quality, first- rate literary magazine. Choosing selections, editing, layout, and financing were all part of the production process for the extra¬ curricular staff.

The staff was particular¬ ly concerned with content in the ’86 issue. “Since TORCH comes out once a year, we are able to concentrate all our efforts into one complete magazine,” said Editor Stephanie Kontrim. “We are able to make it the best it can be, and that is what production is ail about - making it the very best it can be,” she explained. Starting from scratch, the Ra¬ dio and T.V. Club was another organization burdened with the pressures of production. Mem¬ bers worked closely with Hamp¬ ton City School’s T.V. station, Channel 29, to make 30-minute “News Review” programs. They also produced a feature on Home Economics “Fashions for School,” and a final program that pre¬ sented highlights of the school year. “One of the most satisfying aspects of the club is seeing something on film that I’ve worked hard on,” said sophomore Joe Behan. “The best part about the club is being able to create your own reality,” said sophomore Jason Reed. Reed and fellow club member sophomore Ray Alves also pro¬ duced a video that tied for first place in the Virginia Education City Festival in March. The tape was on the advan¬ tages of drinking orange juice and, although less serious than its rival, got top reviews. “We’ve done a lot of this before,” said Reed, “and we are getting better each time. We are going to win when we enter it in state competition.” “When you get to produce your own show,” said Alves, “it’s exciting.” A STAR IS BORN! Eva Montanez takes a break during rehearsal.

Spirit COLOR MY WORLD! John Hall and Brian Burge, carrying giant paint brushes, follow Michelle Rucker and the rest of the Art League in the annual Homecoming parade. Clubs enter floats, walk or ride to show support P re-game excitement and anticipation kept the crowd warm despite the cool breezes and over¬ cast skies as the football Home¬ coming parade crawled towards Darling Stadium. Led by the NJROTC unit and a ninth grade equestrian corps, class floats and club entries fell into line. Methods of transporta¬ tion varied form floats and cars adorned with signs and good luck wishes to walkers and “tuggers.” Newly admitted Key Clubbers found themselves braving the wind in togas while pulling the club’s car along the parade route to the stadium. “It was cold, and I felt like I was the only one out there pulling the car!” exclaimed junior Dee Dee Johnson. Language clubs also turned out to show school spirit. With its slogan of “Victoria!” the Latin Club exemplified the aspirations of all. “Winning the Homecoming game is a high school tradition and we hoped to further ignite the team’s spirit by showing our support,” said senior Stephanie Kontrim who rode in the National Honor Society’s car. Future Homemakers of Amer¬ ica (FHA) entered a float with the slogan “Devastate the Falcons,” and threatened to “sew the Falcon’s feathers to Warrior head- bands.” Members of the Art League colorfully dressed as clowns and unicorns and carrying giant paint brushes and pencils showed their spirit by walking the route as part of the parade. Club enthusiasm and support were felt in all areas of school activities, but were most obvious in the Homecoming parade. NOT ANOTHER PICTURE!

Usually held in the fall, these workshops were valuable training sessions for enthusiastic officers and staffs. The Debate Team attended a workshop at Princess Anne High School early in October. Debaters learned the strategies of debating. “It was interesting and pre¬ pared us to debate this year’s topic,” said Team Captain junior Elaine Therianos. “It was long and we got very tired, but the experience was worth it,” she added. Top editors of all three publica¬ tions attended the Virginia High School League Publications Workshop in Charlottesville, Vir¬ ginia in October. Held on the campus of the University of Virginia, the workshop provided expert advice on publications to over seventeen hundred high school students. “Working with students from other schools helped me with ideas for the school paper and the sessions also gave me ideas,” said TRIBAL TALES Co-editor Pat Weismantel. The highlight of the workshop was the awarding of ratings to publications entered last year. Both TRIBAL TALES and the TOMAHAWK received Trophy ratings, the highest possible from VHSL evaluation services. TRIBAL TALES staffers also attended a “Meet the Press Workshop” in January at the Daily Press Times Herald. Staf¬ fers met professional journalists, toured the newspaper plant, and listened to a critique of the paper by Mrs. Joan Johnston, Lifestyles Editor. “I enjoyed it thoroughly. It gave me a chance to get experi¬ ence in newspaper and see how a real newspaper is put togeth¬ er,” said senior Kevin Rose. Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) attended a work¬ shop in the fall and participated in competitions in the spring. Delegates placed second in Short¬ hand I and third in Shorthand II. Highlight of the year for mem¬ bers of DECA was the State Leadership Conference in the spring. The conference included business sessions, leadership ses¬ sions, elections, and the presenta¬ tion of awards. “SLC was a great experience,” said senior Salina Fisher who ran for Eastern Area Vice President. “We had a great time and overall we did pretty good. Next year we plan to take it all,” she said. Although Fisher’s bid for Vice President was unsuccessful, DECA members won numerous awards for expertise in many areas, including the District Trus¬ tee’s plaque for top chapter in the district.

Workshops Gourmet lunch highlights language clubs’ week £ w oreign language - w • Don’t leave home without one,” was the rallying cry for the mass of students who be¬ longed to one or another foreign language club. Members of the four clubs, Spanish, French, German, and Latin, participated in similar ac¬ tivities and enjoyed inter-club competition in such events as the Thanksgiving Basket donation and the luncheon held during Foreign Language Week. ‘‘This year’s luncheon was delicious,” said senior Stephanie Kontrim. ‘‘All of the food was great!” Members of the clubs prepared gourmet dishes typical of the country they were studying and students enjoyed such treats as French eclairs, German bratworst and sauerkraut, and Spanish paella. ‘‘The students really showed great dedication in bringing in all the food they did,” said German teacher Jim Horne. Other club activities included participating in Homecoming, conducting candy sales and fund raising projects, contributing to the Battered Women’s Shelter, and planning for special club trips and excursions. The German Club took its annual trip to Washington, D.C. in April. ‘‘Georgetown was the good part,” said junior Christy Hill. “There were lots of interesting shops and things to see. We pigged out on pizza at a pizza place in D.C., but the highlight was the party at the hotel.” Some students enjoyed trips abroad in the summer. “France was great,” said se¬ nior Allen Wilson. “1 saw so many new things, and my experiences were varied. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the family 1 stayed with was perfect. They taught me a lot,” he said. “Take my advice and take a foreign language and join one of the clubs,” said junior Kevin Siemann. “You’ll never forget the experience.” “AAAAHHHH!” Ansley Emory and Joe Doege let off some pent up energy on the German Club trip.

She needs to see Janie in her office,” said the student aide assigned to the Dean of Girls, Mrs. Shirley Booth, as she ran errands during first period. “1 like being a student aide because, one, you get to meet a lot of teachers and get to run passes. It’s like having a real job. I feel it gets a person ready for the outside world,” said senior Joleen Schriedel. “It’s a lot of fun!” Student aides, Library Club members, and groups like SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving), TAG (Transfer Adjustment Group), and Natural Helpers were organized for one purpose - to lend a helping hand. Aides did a variety of jobs around the school, such as answer phones, compile attendance lists, write passes, take temperatures in the clinic, and relieve the secretaries and clerks of routine office tasks. Library aides, members of the Library Club, helped to catalog books, check out materials, water plants, and straighten shelves and books. They hosted a reception for the faculty during National Library Week. “I like working in the library because I enjoy helping people,” said junior Kathy Chang. The purpose of SADD was to stop people from drinking and driving, and members got in¬ volved because of a desire to convince their friends of the dangers involved. “We’re not trying to stop people from drinking because that’s a personal decision. We just don’t want them to drive while they’re drunk,” said senior Pat Wooten. “Everyone in SADD is willing to listen to anyone. If we’re able to help one person, then it’s worth it,” he said. Listening to others and work¬ ing as peer counselors was what motivated Natural Helpers. A relatively new group, members felt they did not get the attention they deserved. “We are here to help students with their problems as best we can,” explained junior Maria Reduto. “When I told one student I was a Natural Helper, she thought I went around picking up trash. I’m not a garbage collector; I’m a peer counselor,” she said. TAG, reorganized by senior Matt Foss in January, emphasized helping students adjust to a new school and focused on student interests. “1 enjoy doing it,” said Foss. “I know what it was like being a new student. I just try to make them feel more at ease,” he explained. “It was a lot more work than I thought it would be,” added Foss. “But, it was all worth it - reorga¬ nizing the Transfer Adjustment Group and helping others adjust to a new school and make new friends. It’s tough without help.” LIBRARY AV CLUB - FRONT ROW: Ms. Nancy Spain, Barbara Steele, J.R. Soriano, April South- all, Crystal McHerrin, Ale ash a Redden.

Club, accepted philanthropy as their top priority. “I think that the services that we in FBLA do for the community are really worthwhile and are helping the underprivileged in the Hampton area,” said senior Dawn Stacey. The FBLA, like many other clubs, supported both the Thanks¬ giving and Christmas charity pro¬ jects sponsored by the Inter Club Council (ICC). FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) also donated funds to ASK, Asso¬ ciation for the Study of Childhood Cancer. The Battered Women’s Shelter was the recipient of most philan¬ thropic efforts. The SCA pre¬ sented the Shelter a check for over $600 and Sociology Club members provided needed per¬ sonal items to the Shelter. “Giving to the Shelter became a pet project of the club,” said President Theresa Owens. “We provided them with some person¬ al items that they needed.” Sociology Club members also paid an informal visit to the Hampton Convalesence Center in December. Keyettes helped youngsters hunt for Easter Eggs at La Petite Nursery School in April. “We enjoy this annual event,” said senior Lesa Seabolt. “It’s fun to see the children laugh and enjoy themselves.” Keyettes also gave $100 to the ICC project, Battered Women’s Shelter, at Christmas time and rang bells for the Salvation Army. Members of Keyettes also gave freely of their time to usher at the Daily Press Times Herald Christ¬ mas Fund Concert.

In cooperation with the Red Cross, the SCA sponsored a blood drive in April. An incentive to giving was a holiday from school, but students also gave because of community need. “I was really nervous about doing it, but afterwards I was really glad that I did,” said senior Kenna Williams who was one of several hundred students to give blood. Over 200 pints of blood were collected for the Red Cross. Early in the year, DECA stu¬ dents helped man a booth at Bay Days that was part of the Clean City campaign. Students handed out balloons and pamphlets about the anti-litter drive. Senior Johnny Walker was the voice of a “talking trash can” that shocked Bay Day visitors and amused children. The Radio and T.V. Club chose as its community service project to donate two “Baby Tendas” to the Hampton General pediatric ward. Charge Nurse Ms. Pam Gamache accepted the gift from club members.

For clubs and organi¬ zations such as FHA, Art League, DECA and the SCA, charity began at home. “I felt good about the club working together to bolster school spirit and pride. We need more visual representation of our mas¬ cot and our colors,” said Art League Sponsor Mrs. Cheryl Carter of the club’s mural in Corridor 5. The Art League’s project, a giant mural of an Indian’s head, was visible the moment anyone entered the school. Members spent a Saturday morning paint¬ ing the mural. “The original idea in Airman magazine was a logo representing the outstanding individuals in the Air Force,” explained junior Har¬ ry Fanning. “I liked what it represented and how it looked.” FHA members maintained the Spirit Thermometers in the cafe¬ teria during Spirit Week and took time out to thank teachers by placing Valentine treats in mail¬ boxes February 14. “We wanted some of our efforts to reflect our pride in the school,” said FHA President se¬ nior Janice Sale. “There’s a lot that clubs can do to make the school a better place,” she added. Always concerned with school activities and projects, the SCA maintained a weekly calendar in front of the cafeteria, sponsored both Homecoming events, and planned pep rallies, charity drives, and school elections. “Cooperative - that’s our mid¬ dle name,” said SCA President Pam Hollis. “Our first priority is the school, and we want every student to share our pride in being a Warrior.” Other school-oriented service projects included free book wrap¬ ping by DECA, a candy gram delivery by Keyettes, and the annual Clean and Green Day when clubs helped beautify the grounds.

Initiation Inductees initiated in formal ceremonies, parade IT HITS THE SPOT! Assistant Princi¬ pal David Pearson accepts a glass of punch from National Honor Soci¬ ety Sponsor Mrs. Alberta Boyd as member Allan Wood looks on. H ighlight of the year for several “exclusive” clubs and organizations was the initiation. Usu¬ ally traditional ceremonies, initia¬ tions ranged from “humiliating” to “formal.” The Key Club held to its tradition of initiating new mem¬ bers during the Homecoming weekend. Inductees marched in the Homecoming Parade, garbed in togas and pulling the infamous Key Club car. “I felt like an idiot, wearing a bed sheet and pulling a car in public, but it was fun,” said junior Gary Griffith. Other clubs took a more con¬ servative approach to initiation. The National Honor Society in¬ ducted new members in a brief candle lighting ceremony, May 12, followed by a reception for parents and guests. “I enjoyed the Honor Society induction because it was a small gathering which made it seem more personal,” said senior Amy Fegter. “It was a comfortable atmo¬ sphere. There was nothing to get nervous or embarrassed about,” she added. Quill and Scroll, honor soci¬ ety for high school journalists, also had a formal induction, April 10. The ceremony was held in the library and inductees received membership cards, a Quill and Scroll pin, and a year’s subscrip¬ tion to Quill and Scroll magazine. “The Quill and Scroll cere¬ mony was nice. It made the journalism students feel appreci¬ ated for their work, as opposed to other initiations that provoke a feeling of humiliation,” said junior Elaine Therianos. Thespians, the “elite” of the Drama Club, were accepted into the honor society June 4 at a covered dish dinner and initiation ceremony in the cafeteria. HE A VE HO!

Initiation Teams, clubs represent school in competitions R eaching out, represent¬ ing the school in a variety of ways, and making a lasting impression on others was the top priority for several clubs and organizations. They were “Ambassadors of Good Will.” “People seem to think that we are especially smart at Kecough- tan, so I guess that’s the impres¬ sion our clubs give,” said senior Chad Ritenour, a member of the Forensics Team. Both Forensics and the Debate Team represented the school in competitions, bringing home tro¬ phies and awards to add to an impressive collection. “Debates often turn into hot arguments, but we try not to get as obnoxious as many other schools. It’s easier to keep out of stuff like that if you know some¬ thing about the people you are debating with,” said junior Ian Sobieski. Sobieski received the First Place Trophy for the Negative Speaker in the Tidewater Debate Tournament in March. “We take the initiative and talk to students from other schools between debates,” said Sobieski. Members of DECA, Distribu¬ tive Education Clubs of America, also brought home numerous trophies and awards from district and state competition. Sopho¬ more Trisha Johnson was elected to serve as the District Vice President for 1986-’87. Creating a good image was important to club members. “We helped clean up the mess after Bay Days downtown,” said senior Christy Parker, district vice president of DECA. “We try to get involved with things that benefit the community and, therefore, us, too,” she explained. Other “Ambassadors” were the Youth for Government Club and the Model United Nations Team. Model U.N. representa¬ tives participat ed in the ODU Model U.N. Conference for the first time. Sponsor Mr. John Karatsikis was pleased with the team’s debut at the conference. “They got along well with other schools, represented their coun¬ tries well, and, overall, did an excellent job for the school,” he said. Good will ambassadors foster a good image.

WE’RE NO. 11 An exuberant soccer team shows off its first place Regional Trophy. Competition Divider 185 Young golfers find the going I t was either hot, or it was raining almost every time the golfers took to the links, but weather was not their only enemy. With the specter of last year’s Regional Champions hanging over their heads, the younger, less experienced golfers found the going rough. When they began their early season in August, inexperience, strong district competition from Mench- ville, Denbigh, and Lafayette, and scores in the ’80’s combined to tumble the golfers from the top of the heap. “The lack of experience within the team, and on the courses, really hurt our scores in the tournaments,” commented junior Rick Richter. The team did, however, manage a fourth place finish in the Peninsula District, crediting much of its success to junior Lewis Bond, who assumed top seed on the team. “Bond was one of the better golfers in the district, and could have been the best,” said Coach Leonard Thomas. Other members of the team included sophomores Matt Steinmetz and Allen Denton, junior Kevin Koren, and senior Andreas Liss-Daniels, an exchange student from Sweden. When three golfers made the Regionals at Sleepy Hole Golf Course in Suffolk, Virginia, as individuals, the team was pleased. Bond, Koren, and Steinmetz repre¬ sented the team. The three golfers were able to reach the Regionals by playing well in the district tournaments, and practicing hard to offset their inexperience. Steinmetz survived a playoff hole with Richter to win a spot in Regionals, where he shot a disappointing 101 . “Regionals were a disappointment for me, because 1 started off badly on the first couple of holes, and that ruined my day,” he said. Bond, selected for All-District honors November 25, shot an 83 in Regionals. “I think I could have done a lot better, if I had had a putter. 1 used a sand wedge for the entire 18 holes at Sleepy Hole,” said Bond. “I started off with an eight on the first hole that put me in the back of the field for the front nine. I had to come back on the back nine to qualify for state,” he explained. Bond, ranked number two in the district, Richter, Steinmetz, Denton, and Koren all plan on getting in plenty of practice over the summer and returning next year with more experience.

That one word best describes the experience of the Girls’ Tennis Team. One disaster after another hit the team that, pre¬ season, was predicted to place in the top three teams in the district. Top seed Elizabeth Chisman was the first to suffer the misfortunes of fate. In the second week of the season, Chisman sprained her ankle in a mat ch against Denbigh and was unable to play until the last two matches of the season. Number six seed Sharon Adcock, expected to perform well her first year on the team, was the next to go. Adcock became ill and did not return to school until long after the season was over. With Chisman and Adcock erased from the line-up, younger, less-experienced players were all moved up a spot, and the team experienced loss after loss. “In all, the year was frustrating, but it did have its bright spots,” stated Chisman. The bright spots were victories over Denbigh, Bethel, and Granby High Schools. Another highlight was junior Kelly White. “Kelly was possibly the most consistent player on the team. Her overall record was 7-3. She pulled us out of some close matches,” said Chisman. “I tried my hardest and gave it my all. I just wish we could have placed higher in the district,” said White. “Our team had a lot of problems mentally. It seemed as if everyone gave up.” When district matches rolled around, number two seed Patricia Weismantel was the only person on the team to make it through the first round of singles matches. Weismantel and White made it to the semi¬ finals in doubles. One reason for the girls’ tournament misfortunes came when a mistake was made in sending the line-ups into tournament directors. The mistake forced Chis¬ man to forfeit her singles match, another blow to the team. “I was very disappointed when they told me I had to default my match. I felt my chances were good in the districts, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. The most disappointing thing was that I didn’t get to play in my last game of my high school career. This year was terrible,” said Ch isman. The team’s final record was a dismal 3-6, putting the girls in seventh place in the district, a sad finish for a team expected to finish third.

You run with dedicated teammates, others like you who make the long, hot hours of practice, the torn ligaments and painfully sore legs pay off for you in the end. You are a member of the Cross Country Team, and, to you, pain and hard work are everyday words. Practicing everyday after school through sweltering temperatures and pouring rain, the team’s goal was to be the best it could be. A large turnout of underclassmen runners was a boost for the small core of veterans who returned. The underclassmen, primarily ninth graders who for the first time were able to participate fully, proved that a younger team can have a great will to win. “We ran everyday after school from 3:30 until 5. Mostly we ran the track for two miles at a fast run and after that we ran 10 to 20 sprints,” explained second- year harrier junior Allen Glover. Glover ranked third on the team. Only two seniors, number one Myron McDaniels and number two Scott Bridegam, ran cross country. “We have a lot of young, strong runners,” commented Bridegam. “I believe that’s why we did so well.” The team considered the season successful, espe¬ cially since three individuals placed in the top three in district meets on area courses. McDaniels ran the best time, 18:52, on the course at Gosnold’s, and the top time, 18:57, on the Mariner’s Museum Course. Sopho¬ more Franklin Hughes placed with 19:42 at Gosnold’s and sophomore Elie Skucas had the third best time, 24:00, on the Warwick course in the girls’ meet. Skucas and freshman Wendy Manley led a small turnout on the girls’ team. A big change for the team was first year Coach A1 Morrow who replaced veteran Coach Lew Faxon. “At the beginning of the season, most of the returning runners regretted losing Faxon,” said Bride¬ gam. “However, Coach Marrow did a good job and produced a winning team.” For the harriers, the climax of the season was the Ferguson meet, October 8, a 23-34 victory for the boys’ team. “Every team member ran at their personal best against Ferguson,” said McDaniels. “We did our best there,” added freshman Leigh Harrison. “We tried hard, and we placed tops.” A major disappointment for the team was lack of fans and support. “We usually had no one to cheer us on at our meets,” said Bridegam. “Some school spirit would be nice,” he added. An outstanding effort was contributed by a trio of freshman girls, Susanna Hallenbeck, Joan Eaton, and Manley, at the Hampton City Meet. Hallenbeck ran to a first place finish, followed by teammates Manley in second place and Eaton in third.

Early season victories over Phoebus and Ferguson were overshadowed by a losing streak at midseason caused by injuries to key players and tough district competition. “We had our chance for a winning season, but we just didn’t get the breaks,” explained junior quarterback Doxie Jordan. “But, our record didn’t show the great athletes and excellent coaches we had.” Despite setbacks encountered by the team, several players enjoyed a good year as an individual, helping to ease the pain of being on a losing team. Jordan and sophomore Eric Williams engineered an offense built around an explosive running attack that thrilled crowds with long touchdown runs. Running backs Ralph Brown and Aaron Clark, both seniors, and junior Mike Cheatham were the main threats in a backfield that featured two backs with over 350 yards rushing. Senior tackle Bill Boyd was one of the district’s highly recruited players. The holes for the backs to run through and the pass blocking, that allowed the quarterbacks to get the ball to receivers Kevin Brown and Tracy Synaker, were mastered by a huge offensive line, led by Boyd, juniors Wallace and Harold Boswell, and sophomore Shannon Conrad. “Our coaches would call the play, and then our offensive line would make their blocks. Then, it was up to me to pick which way I wanted to run after I got through the hole,” said Ralph Brown. A senior dominated defense featuring Clark, Tobias, James Stamps, Kevin Brown, and David Lands continued on page 194 QUEST FOR PA Y DIRT: Quarterback Doxie Jordan heads into openfield against Hampton as teammates Shannon Conrad (61), Morris Hall (75), and Ralph Brown (32) look on.

Lands, a transfer from Nevada, excelled in the defensive backfield with Clark and juniors Dwight Hollier and Reggie Hopson. Lands demonstrated an ability to cope with bigger and better players. “There was a definite size difference in the players at my old school and the players here,’’ said Lands, who led the team in interceptions. “The players here are much bigger, plus there’s more quality coaching,’’ he added. Stamps, Kevin Brown, and sophomore Mark Banks anchored the front line, with Tobias roaming the middle at linebacker. The unit used the Phoebus game as the measuring stick on how good they were. “The Phoebus game was a real challenge for us, and it let us find our strong and weak points,” explained Stamps. Special teams were led by seniors J. R. Lippus and Greg Doggett. Lippus, the place-kicker, proved to be the difference in two of the team’s four wins with field goals, while Doggett more than held his own as a punter. For the Junior Varsity squad, the season was bleak. The season record of 0-7-1 was blamed on inexperience, injuries, and just hard knocks. “It wasn’t a good year, but we had more talent on the team than was shown,” said freshman James McRae. According to Assistant Coach Steve Snaidman, the defense held its own, but the offensive mistakes were costly. “The offense was inexperienced and, therefore, it made more mistakes than a more experienced team would have,” said Snaidman. “But, I feel the team improved with each game.” Head Coach Victor South praised the players’ attitudes and determination to improve. “Football is a time consuming sport,” he explained. “It takes a great deal of skill and determination. Will power is a good phrase to describe what it takes to play the game. Our players stuck with it inspite of losses,” said South. The team saved the best for last, finally cominc together in the second half of the Denbigh game, the last of the season and a 6-6 tie. “The offense, defense - everyone finally got it together in the second half of the game,” said sophomore Marvin Lands. “This was our first year, but we progressed very well,” said sophomore Chip West. “With leaders such as Reggie High on the offensive line, we improved with each game.” JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL - FRONT ROW: Daniel Lewis, John Tolley, William Turner, Monte Johnson, Michael Michael Hatt, Benji Beach, Joe Becwell, Wallace Spivey, Vangaasbeek.

They were in the Girls’ Gym running about and surviving yet another aerobics workout conducted by sponsor Ms. Donna Stephens. “Ms. Stephens was a real inspiration. She could keep going when the rest of us were too exhausted to finish the workout,” said sophomore Jenny Kersis. A typical practice day included building stunts, practicing cheers, rigorous exercises, and, on Fridays, gymnastics classes. Unfortunately, during the practices, the cheerleaders experienced many injuries. “Being an injured cheerleader and sitting out of football games made me feel as if 1 were missing out on a lot of fun,” stated senior Tracey Dickson. Another aspect of cheerleader life was competition- not only competition with other squads during games, but also local competition. The cheerleaders competed in a competition at Newmarket South in September that was judged by three Washington Redskins cheerleaders. Unfortunately, neither squad, varsity nor junior varsity, placed. “I do not think that it’s fair to have squads with male cheerleaders compete with all female squads. Men have different abilities than women, and in cheerleading it gives them an unfair advantage. In the Olympics men don’t compete against women!” exclaimed senior Cherry Mayo. During the summer, the girls attended the Interna¬ tional Cheerleading Foundation (l.C.F.) Camp at Hamp- den-Sydney College in Hampden-Sydney, Virginia to learn new stunts and skills. “The best thing was that camp brought us close together. We really knew each other after that week,” said junior Meg Gorski. At the final competition of the week, the girls were invited to Tennessee for a national competition, Decem¬ ber 29-31. At the beginning of school, one of the top priorities of the cheerleaders was pep rallies. “The hard part was getting the different classes involved,” explained senior Captain Nicole Annis. Following football season, cheerleaders kept up the spirit for the basketball team and continued their arduous workouts. “We don’t just participate for one season. Cheer¬ leading is a year around sport,” said senior Vivian Burchett of their continuous schedule. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS - FRONT: Jenifer Welker.

Coach Rev is Conrad 198 Boys’ Basketball Team finds missing link in L ess than a minute remained in the Regional quarterfinal game against Booker T. Washing¬ ton and the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team trailed by four points. Desperately needing a basket, Billy Coles pulled and swished an outside jumper that turned out to be the final points of his brilliant high school career. Moments later, the scoreboard read 00:00, and the careers of some of the top players in the school’s history had come to a sad end. Although the team lost, 59-54, the advancement to the Regional Tournament was a high honor for a team led by a great senior class. It was the first time a team from the school had gone that far since 1973. “It feels good to be a contributing factor on one of our very first winning teams because we worked very hard as a team to get where we were,” said Coles who was named to the All-Peninsula District First Team and was nominated to the McDonald’s High School All-American Team. The team’s run towards the Regional Tournament began in late January after suffering some tough luck losses. That was also about the time junior Ernest Braxton joined the team, and his presence helped it win 10 of its last 11 games. “Ernest Braxton contributed in many different ways, but I believe his biggest contribution was his play on the boards,” explained “super-sub” junior John Dixon. After joining the team, Braxton averaged nearly 15 points per game, topped off by a 23-point performance in the 56-55 win over Bethel in the District Tournament semi-finals. Ironically, Braxton’s first game was the 60-59 win over Booker T. Washington during a mid-season winning streak. The win over Booker T. helped the team develop confidence as it began to realize its full potential. “After we beat Booker T., the team matured. It provided us with a base to work from and helped us win some close ball games,” said senior Bill Boyd. “We started to play better, and we got more balance,” said Braxton who dedicated his season to his late mother. “Therefore, we were able to take the pressure off of Billy C.” Using that win as a springboard, the Green and White went on to record victories over top-notch opponents, including state-ranked Denbigh. The team also beat all four Newport News high schools, a rare accomplishment for a Hampton school. “We felt that after we had beaten Denbigh, that we had proved we could be competitive within the district,” explained junior Ray Washington. “The fact that we beat all four Newport News schools earned us some respect.” The victory over Lafayette was big for many reasons, but primarily because it was for third place in the final district standings. “Lafayette was our biggest game because it was for third place,” said senior Eric Perry. “Coach Conrad didn’t have to do much to get us fired up for that one because it was also Homecoming.” The season did not go by without having some standout individual play. Coles became the school’s all- time leading scorer, surpassing the 1,000 point plateau in the second Ferguson game.

The others were Braxton, Perry, and senior Kevin Brown. “To go over 1,000 points was probably the biggest thrill of my life, but I owe all of my success to my parents, family, friends, and mainly God,” said Coles. “Coach Revis Conrad also played a big part in my success,” added Coles. “He’s always been there for me, and I think he’s one special person.” Although the J.V. squad suffered some close losses and was disappointed in its season, the team did manage to finish with a decent record. “We had a pretty good season, but it wasn’t as good as I expected. We were inexperienced and weren’t used to playing together,” said sophomore Chip West. The beginning of the season was spent getting used to new coaches Mike McCormick and Mike Alves. Although it was their first year coaching a team, they were able to familiarize the team with their coaching philosophies and lead them to some exciting victories. “Coach McCormick and Coach Alves did a great job their first year, and t hey deserve all the credit,” said freshman Ernest Willis. “West, sophomore Eric Williams, and myself had to help the coaches because we knew the system well, but the coaching was very good,” said freshman Milan Brown. The team played well throughout most of the season, and its consistency enabled it to record victories over rivals Hampton and Bethel. “The second game against Bethel was big because JUMPING JACK FLASH: Chip West pulls down a crucial rebound during the team’s loss to Bethel as Eric Williams (12) and James Carr (23) look on.

The players felt the win over Hampton was crucial for city bragging rights. “Hampton was definitely my favorite game,” said Brown. “The team was really pepped up for them.” Some of the better individual performances were turned in by James Carr, Willis, Brown, West, and freshman Travis Ward. Carr struck for a team-high 29 points against Hampton, and Willis busted for 28 against Denbigh. Williams provided scoring punches off the bench as the team’s sixth man. “We had a lot of talent on the team,” said Coach McCormick. “It was just a matter of gaining experience. I’m sure they’ll beef up the varsity next year.” HERE COME! Point guard Ray Washington looks to get past a Warwick defender in a 69-67 win.

It was another wrestling match in progress. With the largest turnout in history and a new coach, Steve Snaidman, the wrestlers distinguished themselves by finishing fourth in the district with 4-4 record and an overall record of 7-11. In addition, the team spawned two district cham¬ pions in their weight class, 126 pound senior Scott Bridegam and 167 pound sophomore Shannon Conrad. The two competed in the Regional tournament at Green Run along with senior David Lands, senior Tim Edgette, sophomore Mark Banks, and sophomore Frank White who also made it to Regional competition. Bridegam was the only one of the six to survive the weekend at Green Run and advance to the state tournament where he was defeated in the first round. “Most of the team was sophomores and freshmen. It was a young team with not much experience, but next year we should have a pretty strong team,” said junior Pete Edgette. One factor that enabled the team to finish well was crowd support. “It was great to be able to look up in the stands and Coach Steve Snaidman Varsity Wrestling 7-11 KHS Opponent 51 23 Ferguson 3 64 Poquoson 27 48 Lafayette 49 24 Bethel 31 39 Lafayette 31 34 Bayside 63 12 Northumberland 31 38 Northampton 48 24 Bethel 9 61 First Colonial 31 36 Denbigh 11 59 Menchville 24 49 Indian River 47 32 Matthews 51 18 Warwick 60 18 Phoebus 33 42 Hampton 24 44 Norview see all of those people cheering you on.

We were always together and most of us got ‘Mohawks’ to show team unity,” said Tim Edgette. Crowd support, team togetherness, and a large turnout proved to be contributing factors in the wrestler’s successful season. “We did accomplish one goal and that was to fill each weight class. Having 40 people on the team was a great advantage,” said Coach Snaidman. Three of the team’s wrestlers, Lands and brothers Peter and Tim Edgette, gained experience in other states.

Hill was one of four returning players. Others were senior Barbara Tilton, junior Sara Sawyer, and sopho¬ more Traci Turner. Five juniors, two sophomores, and three freshmen rounded out the team. A big boost to the girls was the play of freshman Dawn Pabst who promised to be a big plus in the future. The team did not let its overall inexperience get it down. The Lady Warriors had an abundance of spirit and determination. “We were a young team and we had to get our feet wet. Each game was tight until the last quarter and then we would crack under pressure because of our inexperience,” said Hill. Injuries were a major factor in the season’s outcome. First string players Tilton, with torn ligaments, and Turner, with a broken nose, were unable to play the majority of the season. “Because of my nose, I wasn’t able to help out as much as I would have liked to, but, there is always next year,” said Turner. One asset that helped the team was the camarade¬ rie of players both on and off the court.

Swim Team Fish in great form; finish T he Hampton Community Center was filled with a feeling of excitement, the smell of chlorine, a multitude of swimsuit-clad bodies, and a lot of raw talent. It was a typical swim meet and the Flying Fish were in great form. The only thing lacking was fan support. “No one was hyped,” said third year team member junior Bridget Tellinger. “To look up in the stands and see a bunch of parents who have to be there isn’t the same as seeing your friends,” she said. Although the team’s performance was hampered by the lack of support, many members of the team felt that a lack of dedication also hurt team morale. “There was really no team spirit,” explained junior Kelly White. “Lots of people came out for the team at the beginning of the season, but after awhile, people started dropping out because they got tired of going to practice.” Despite the troubles the Flying Fish encountered during the season, they were able to earn a good season, pulling out victories in all but two meets for a second place finish in the district. “I was pleased with our season, but I was somewhat disappointed with our losses to Lafayette. They may have had more swimmers, but we still had a good team,” said senior Amy Fegter. “Our losses to Lafayette were because people simply were not ready. Illness and injuries to key swimmers also worked against us,” said junior Jon Chambers. Most members of the team felt that Lafayette was their only real challenge and that meets with city rivals were not too strenuous. “Hampton wasn’t any real competition. Our team performed excellently and that made their coach and team get upset,” said senior Kevin Smith. “We mauled Hampton because they were the worst team in the district; no competition at all,” said junior Robbie Dzur. Despite the fact that they were unable to snatch the district title, the Fish felt the hard work during the season was worth it. “I had a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of people,” said junior Meg Gorski, who spent the season flying through the air off of the diving board. “It was a lot of work, but it was worth it.” Gorski, junior Trace Lumpkin, and senior Kim Irick were the team’s top three divers.

They stood in or around the track and exercised or discussed strategy with teammates. It was time for another track and field meet against a district rival. Able to survive the season because of an abundance of individual talent and great coaching by Coaches Roger Watson and A1 Morrow, the Boys’ and Girls’ Track Teams were affected by a lack of experience and injuries to key members. “There was a lot of competition in the district, especially in the long distances, but the team’s perform¬ ance was usually good,” said senior Tim Edgette. “If the team didn’t win, it was no fun!” Placing sixth and seventh respectively, the girls’ and boys’ teams, nevertheless, made a name for themselves in the District Meet, May 9 and 10. Individuals made the difference. Senior Ralph Brown qualified for Regionals in the 100 meter and 200 meter events, and freshman Rana Wiggins was a standout in the discus throw. The 400 meter relay team of Brown, Mike Cheatham, Doxie Jordan, and Aaron Clark placed third in the District Meet and third in Regionals. “We did real well,” commented Jordan, who also competed in the long jump. “Other than Cheatham, we were all in our first year, so we lacked experience. But, we were able to set a foundation.” The relay team entered state competition in Charlottesville, May 23 and 24, but was disqualified. “It appeared to me that Cheatham had a good start.

Girls, who displayed promise throughout the season, included freshman Stephanie Holman, who placed fifth in the shot-put in districts; sophomore Vernita Haynes, who earned the right to compete in the 100-meter hurdles in regionals; sophomore Elie Skucas, top long distance runner; and freshmen Susanna Hallenback and Chantelle Evans who gained in experience competing in Regionals, May 16 and 17, at Todd Stadium.

The court was silent except for the sounds of the ball hitting the racket and an occasional verbal expression of effort as the tennis ball flew back and forth across the net in a crucial volley. The doubles team of junior Mark Gibson and sophomore Hugh Milteer, 11-3, was playing for the District doubles title, one of the highlights of an impressive season for the Boys’ Tennis Team. More or less a “Cinderella team’’ and a surprise to most fans, Gibson and Milteer defeated Hampton’s number one team, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, to advance to the Eastern Regionals where they crushed their first opponent, Maury High School 6-2, 6-3, before falling to Kempsville, 1-6, 4-6, in the finals. “We couldn’t get control of the net and ended up playing their game instead of ours,” said Gibson. The only other doubles team entered in the Peninsula District Tournament, Preston Shoemaker, fourth seed, and Kevin Koren, sixth seed, suffered its only loss of the season by being eliminated in the first round. After finishing second in the District, 9-1, the team advanced four players past the first round in the District singles tournament. Of the four, top seed Gibson was the most successful, reaching the semi-finals, May 13. Milteer, second seed, and junior Brandon Gray, third seed, advanced to the quarterfinals and junior Preston Shoemaker, fourth seed, made it to the second round. Fifth seed Matt Steinmetz also made it into the tournament but bowed out in round one. The team’s success in the tournaments eased the wound of coming up one short of capturing the District title, won by arch-rival Hampton. The team lost only one match-to Hampton-giving it an overall record of 9-1 and putting it at the top. “Although we lost, we were a better team than Hampton,” said Shoemaker. “There were a lot of bad calls, but we should have trained more. We only lost to Hampton 4-5. It was a really close match,” he explained. Returning all but one player next year, the team is looking forward to a new season. “Next year, we’ll be unbeatable,” said Shoemaker.

Crazy? No, just the Varsity Soccer Team getting psyched up for another win. Known as ‘‘Delta Force” by its opponents, the team finished its season with a 13-0-0 record, shutting out all but one district foe and advancing to Regionals in May. Team members credited their record to team unity and Coach Kelly Alford. ‘‘Kelly is one of the best coaches in the state,” said Junior Mike “Taco” Re. “He’s a nice guy who likes to have fun, but he’s serious when it comes to soccer.” The team was led by seniors Will Sullivan and J. R. Lippus, and junior Randy Wildes, who were appointed tri-captains by Alford. The defense was the team’s strongest asset. Senior J. R. Dethorn and juniors Scott Ebe, Billy Brown, Robert Dubberly, Mike Brown, Bill Hollingsworth, Re, and Wildes earned great respect for the team. “Our biggest asset is that of our strong defense. It makes it much easier to go forward when you know you have a strong defense behind you,” said Alford. Goal keeper Hollingsworth gave up only one regular season goal. “I felt at ease when the ball was shot on Bill; that is how consistent he is at his position,” claimed Alford. The varsity team was at its peak during the games against Lafayette and Denbigh. They won 2-0 and 6-0, respectively. “We were psyched during the game against Lafayette because of the rivalry from previous years,” commented Wildes. “Their team was frustrated because they couldn’t get anything going because of the pressure we put on them,” added Ebe. continued on page 214 ANOTHER SHOT ON GOAL!

Freshman Mike “Spike” Sullivan slipped two goals past the Maury keeper, with assists from his brother Will, to shut-out Maury, 2-0. “Will has great ball control. The game usually centers around him getting that control. He and ‘Spike’ work well together as a team,” said Wildes. The Regional finals ended with a victory over Green Run, 2-0. Goals were scored by Wildes and Will Sullivan. “The win over Green Run was a very big emotional victory for us because it was the first time we had beaten them,” said Sullivan. With high hopes for a state championship, the team headed for the semi-finals in Fairfax, Virginia. There, booters met their strongest opposition, Stonewall Jackson High School from Manassas, Virginia. Stonewall Jackson was a big surprise and put an abrupt end to the team’s hopes by shutting out the booters, 3-0. “We didn’t play as a team. We took them too lightly. They were better than we thought they were going to be,” said Re. Meanwhile, the J.V. Soccer Team, with a 13 game schedule, compiled a respectable record of 10-2-1, losing only to Hampton and tying Denbigh, 0-0, and Hampton, 1 - 1 . “Our toughest game was against Hampton,” said sophomore Alan Ditsworth. “Out of many chances to score, we were only able to score one goal.” “We had a lot of good talent on our team,” continued Ditsworth. Coach Lindsey worked hard to unite us. Most of our practices were hard work. We tried hard and this was reflected in our performance,” he said. “Basically, we were young and inexperienced, but we kept on improving,” said Ditsworth. “We made some mistakes, but we pressed on to win.” The young team had 10 shut-outs to its credit and rejoiced in big wins over the Warwick Raiders, 11-0, and 8-0. Standouts on the team included goalie Rob Epprecht whose saves helped the team to be a winner. JUST RELAX!

The opposing pitcher finished his warmup as the players settled into the dugout. Senior lead-off batter Brian Covington stepped into the batter’s box and waited anxiously as the pitcher wound up and threw the ball toward the plate. Covington swung and . . . It was this sort of excitement and anticipation that the Varsity Baseball Team met before the start of the season. Unfortunately, the team suffered some tough losses early in the season and soon enthusiasm turned to disappointment. The batmen began the season with a win over Poquoson climaxed by a game winning three run homer by junior Ray Washington. After beating another non¬ district foe, York, the team was itching to take care of business in the district. Starting the season 0-2, the team rebounded with three impressive wins, including one over rival Bethel. But, the squad continued on its roller coaster season as it dropped three straight close games. The players felt the loss to Warwick was a tough one to accept. “Following the win over Bethel, the team felt we would begin to reach our potential,” commented Washington. “But, the loss to Warwick was an emotional let down because they had not won a game and we had come off a big win.” BREAKIN’: Ray Washington attempts to break up a double play during the last game of the season, a 5-0 loss to the Hampton Crabbers. The second half of the season was filled with heartbreak, as batmen split the remaining eight games and were eliminated from District competition.

Freshman outfielder Steve Pabst earned a spot on the second team and Washington received an honorable mention. Wheeler was the team’s ace pitcher throughout the season, consistently keeping the squad in games with his strong right arm. Like many of his teammates, Wheeler felt that his own great season was not very satisfying because of the up and down play of the team. Pabst, in his third year as a starter, excelled in pitching. He was on the winning end of a 13-4 romp over Phoebus and came through with a crucial 1-0 shutout of Denbigh. The pitchers were helped by a productive offensive attack that set a school record for most doubles in a season. Covington and Wheeler led the attack with batting averages above .400. Pabst, Washington, and juniors John Dixon and Russell Alves added extra support at the plate. Covington’s consistency as the team’s lead-off was evident in the win over Phoebus, two doubles, and a 6- 5 win over Bethel. One of the team’s best offensive efforts came in the win over Lafayette. Dixon chalked up four runs batted in and Pabst and Washington added three RBI’s each as the squad exploded for 13 runs. The Junior Varsity Baseball Team experienced an even tougher season than its varsity counterpart. The J.V.’s bad year included inconsisten cy at the plate, fights between players, suspensions, and lack of fan support. “Our main problem was hitting,” said sophomore Joey McDonald. “But there was no relationship between the pitcher and the catcher either.” The team’s troubles were topped off by a disap¬ pointing tie with Menchville at home. “That was a memorable game because the umpire called their runner safe after their coach argued and we ended up in a tie,” said McDonald. The J.V.’s were led during the season by sopho¬ mores Eric Williams, Dale Williams, and David Johnson. Eric Williams was the team’s ace pitcher, along with Johnson, and Dale Williams provided clutch hitting. The year for both teams was a long one and brought new meaning to “take me out to the ball game.” FAIR BALL: Whacking the ball, Eric Williams begins to let go of the bat and start off to first base in the 3-6 loss to Ferguson, at the end of the season.

They were not expected to do much, maybe better last year’s record of 7-7, but nobody was thinking in terms of a district title for the Girls’ Softball Team. Nobody, that is, except returnees like junior Christy Hill and new Head Coach Mrs. Stacey Garber. The season got off to a slow start. Close losses in the beginning dampened everyone’s spirits and the team had difficulty getting along. “Nobody seemed to like anybody at the start,” said junior Sara Sawyer. “But, we realized that we had to play together,” she added. Then, the big surprise of the season, junior Yuko Inoue, alias the “Orient Express,” astounded everyone with her pitching prowess. Inoue won 10 of her 11 pitching bouts and struck out 73 batters in 64 innings. She “wiffed” 12 people and threw a complete ball game three-hitter in a 7-4 win over Bethel. Veteran junior Christy Hill topped her own record with an awesome.647 batting average, hitting six home runs and 50 RBI’s. Hill slugged three home runs in a 21- 18 victory over Menchville. “Hill led the offense and Yuko’s pitching was definitely the key to our offense,” said Coach Garber, who felt the team’s ability to keep together was its biggest asset. With a perfect second half of the season under its belt and a 13-3 record, the Lady Warriors tied for first place in the district with Lafayette. Hill and Inoue were named to both All-District and All-Peninsula teams, and the girls faced a crucial play-off game with Lafayette, May 22. Injuries to key players, a gloomy day, and a drop in team morale all contributed to a disappointing loss for the Lady Warriors, who bowed to the Rams, 7-3. “Having come so far and through so much to get there, it was very frustrating to lose that last game,” remarked first baseman Sawyer. “There was no doubt in my mind, in fact anyone’s mind, that we were the best team out there!” Although a chance to play in regionals, representing the district, was lost in the final game, the Lady Warriors had made a name for themselves that nobody in the district would overlook again. “We were awesome!” said Hill. “Coach Garber made a big difference, and we’ll win it all next year.” Girls’ Softball 13-3 KHS Opponent 9 10 Lafayette 21 17 Hampton 21 18 Menchville 9 11 Ferguson 13 5 Warwick 10 5 Bethel 10 9 Denbigh 13 18 Phoebus 12 10 Lafayette 13 5 Hampton 11 8 Menchville 7 3 Ferguson 12 8 Warwick 7 4 Bethel 19 2 Denbigh 7 6 Phoebus 3 7 Lafayette (Playoff) GIRLS’ SOFTBALL TEAM - FRONT ROW: Traci Turner, ROW: Coach Stacey Garber, Sara Sawyer, Tonya Rose, Karen Young, Yuko Inoue, Jean Evans, Meredith Wilkins, Lynn McKnight, Christy Hill, Jennifer Hilleren, Karen Becky Younger, Laura Snyder, Brenda Massie.

Organized as a group, band parents raise funds, chaperone on trips, support the concerts, collect tickets, furnish refreshments at receptions, arrange for summer programs, and provide transpor¬ tation. “We meet once a month,” said Band Director Mr. Paul Ferguson, “and we always have a full house.” Band parents helped band members raise the $30,000 nec¬ essary to finance the band’s trip to Disney World in Florida during spring break. Parents also chap¬ eroned the trip. “We’re not just another club or activity,” said freshman Tom Smith. “We also support school spirit.

Closing Welcome breaks, exciting sports, field trips, tests fill last weeks of ’85- ’86 year eniors fall prey to ‘senioritis,’ collect memories, awards With the cards dealt and all bets laid, the final call was the next play. Readily collected by the players were the rewards of the game: titles, accomplishments, and a jumble of memories that proved the ‘full house’ had beat three of a kind. The lazy, hazy days of summer were the dream of all as the end of school neared, but some tasks remained to be completed. Elections were held in early May for SCA officers, while class officers were elected the first week in June. In an effort to escape the rigors of college requirements, juniors and seniors took AP exams in May. “At least I was prepared for the exam,’’ said senior Myron McDaniels. “I really would like to miss out on freshman English.’’ For seniors, the last days seemed endless, but the much needed breaks were a welcome reprieve. Senior Skip weekend in Nags Head and Class Night helped to alleviate the symptoms of “senioritis.” The epidemic was also partly remedied by the Senior Prom when seniors donned their finest apparel to dance the night away at the Chamberlin Hotel. “I’ve looked forward to the Senior Prom since I was four years old,” said senior Carla Beausoleil. With college acceptances in, seniors could afford some R R, although anticipation was building for June 14. The Soccer Team advanced to district finals, then to regional competition, and finally to the state semi-finals, May 30. Freshman Mike Sullivan stood out among the players. “Spike” continued on page 244 IT’S NEVER REALLY OVER!

The Girls’ Softball Team tied for first place in the district with junior pitcher Yuko Inoue making a significant contribution. Junior Chris- ty Hill and Inoue were named to All-District softball. “We had a great season, definitely the best we’ve had in a long time. It’s a great honor to be named to the district team,’’ said Hill.

Hard work paid off May 14 at Awards Night when academically talented students were awarded the fruits of their labors. Among the awards were scholarship presentations to seniors and an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy for senior Alex Skucas. The evening was one of the more memorable awards ceremonies because the electricity went out halfway through the program. The Jefferson Cups were presented to highest honors gradu¬ ates in the dark. ™ m 7 continued on page 247 STUDY? NEVER!

Band members raised $30,000 to pay for the opportunity to play at Disney World. “It was a great opportunity for us,” said Drum Major Pam Hollis. “The experience was invaluable.” In April, junior Christine Knight was chosen Miss KHS, and Spring Break brought on a rash of trips to Washington, Boston, Florida, South Carolina, the Bahamas, and Europe. “It was the best trip of my life,” said senior Pat Wooten. “I’ve never had so much fun. The experience was wonderful!” The month of May was filled with year-end field trips to help the time pass quickly. Mr. Myral Williams took his science class to Nags Head, and Mr. William Cawley took his govern¬ ment classes to Washington. The trips, however, were no substitute for June 13 and its promise of release. Although final exams awaited stu¬ dents the second week of Ju ne, everybody was counting the days until summer vacation. For juniors, June 13 was a “graduation day” - the day they would officially become seniors. Soon, the day when they too would walk across the stage, grasping a diploma, would be a reality. For underclassmen, June 13 was “freedom day.” They waited for the last bell and the last exam with eager anticipation. For seniors, the day had finally come. That long awaited new beginning had finally ar¬ rived - commencement. They would scatter, go continued on page 248 CONGRATULATIONS!

The house would not be empty for long. A new class would arrive in the fall. It would be another “full house,” hopefully, as full of pride and full of spirit as this year’s student body was. The example had been set: four classes unified in the spirit of the Warriors, striving, competing, excelling. From freshmen to seniors, “A Full House Beat Three of of a Kind.” 248 Closing LOOK, MOM, I MADE IT!
