A fine pitching job by veteran senior Eileen England, combined with consistent team hitting, added depth to the varsity lineup.

The team jumped from a dismal 6-13-1 mark to a 17-7 mark for the year. Coach Gale Matheny, in his second season, guided the Royals into a major golf threat in the Central District. After a slow start, the team then ripped off 14 wins in 16 matches, including a 10-8 upset over previously unde- feated Thomas Dale. Paced by MVP Matt Melvin, captain Al Trevino, and Mike Byrnes, the team finished third in the Central District and fourth in the Central Region. Byrnes and Trevino captured top point honors while Melvin won low scor- ing title. A controversial playoff with two other Central District golf- ers eliminated Melvin from a trip to the state tournament. 20 Golf Absorbed in concentration, Keith Moore and Mark Penick trudge down fairway in crucial match with Thomas Dale and Colonial Heights.

Prepared to play baseball, the entire Royal squad exhibited fine baseball tactics on the way to a 3-2 decision over the Springers. Alan Chudoba’s pitching, balanced with a nine hit attack, earned PG a spot in the Regional Championship battle against George Wythe. In the game, termed a pitch- ing duel, Ronnie Wade pitched nine innings of excellent ball only to give way to a George Wythe rally in the 10th inning.

The most noticeable switch brought the addition of first year coach, Rolf McDaniel, who had suc- ceeded nine year veteran, Coach Harold Smith. Only three lettermen greeted Coach McDaniel to start the season, but his young spirited team showed great potential during the rebuilding year. Letterman seniors Kenny Franciscus and Jack Evans, along with promising junior Garry Reese, prepared for the season opener with district contender Colo- nial Heights.

Prince George has turned out excellent students academically. With proper facilities, they could do even better. Young people have a lot to contribute to the county.

We've got bathrooms which no one would dare to use; we've got lockers which, until recently, any key can open; we ve got crowded halls, and we are expected to get to class in five minutes. We’ve got broken windows, broken desks, and paper-thin walls which are a nuisance to student and teacher alike in the adjoining rooms. And on top of all this, we’ve got a mousetrap for a gym. The ‘“mousetrap” seats about 225 per- sons and is used for both the junior high basketball games and the varsity. The junior high enrollment coupled with ours is abou t 2500 persons.

The teachers at PGHS try pretty hard to do their job well, but with better facilities they could do better. It is the student’s responsibility to get the message across to people. I hope that students will start to band together and work to get a new school.” — Joan Brissette Senior 66 . . . the most important fact is its people and that’s what counts.” “The high school’s age is shown in its rundown appearance. The heating is either dead or working too much. The walls are nicely painted but the bathroom stalls still don’t shut and the sinks are coming off the walls. It’s not a great modern school with great modern facilities but the most important fact is its people and that’s what counts.” — Debbie Rourke Senior ‘We can’t even seat one-fourth of the student population. . .” “The school building is very inadequate. It was built for a lot less students than we now have. Our gym doesn’t even compare with other gyms in the Central District. We can’t even seat one-fourth of the student population at a basketball game. And it’s dangerous to play in because there’s no room on the sidelines. You go out of bounds three feet and you run into a wall. A better gym would not only benefit the basketball program but the PE program also. There are not enough showers or bathrooms in either locker room, and because of their age, they’re hard to keep clean, . . . smelling or otherwise.” — Mr. Rolf McDaniel Basketball Coach Interviews 67 Harlow Hardy Company, Inc.

With Vanessa Eckton as president and new, interested members, the club held two successful boutiques during the year, selling yarn dolls, colorful flowers, zodiac pillows and creative crafts made by club members. As an active part of the library, some members worked during study halls, straighten- ing shelves, checking out books and collecting late dues. As a new and eager editor of the 1972-73 Ye Royal Scribe, Sherry Herald led a rookie staff, making the newspaper an item of great controversy throughout PGHS. Crossword puzzles, more editorials and a greater response from the student body in opinionated letters to the staff, became a new sight in the paper. Although many headaches and problems resulted, the staff worked together and managed to publish the paper monthly.

Could you imagine waking up every morning and looking into your very own face? Six seniors coped with inquisitive stares and queries such as, “Didn’t I see you down the hall a minute ago?” Nancy and Nina Shornak found themselves placed in the same Advanced Biology class much to the confusion of Mr. Pittman. Beth and Betty Tomlinson, like Anita and Paula Minor, discovered that alphabetizing did not place them in different homerooms. Adding con- fusion to classmates and teachers, the senior look-alikes encountered odd experiences and usual mix-ups. II. FILL IN THE BLANKS: 1.

The seniors walked away with Mar- vin at the first pep rally, much to the dismay of the underclassmen. Joining the juniors, Marvin shocked sophomores and escaped the sen- iors by spending only one week with the juniors. Settling tedious disputes on Marvin’s permanent home, seniors competed with the underclassmen and retrieved their captive from frustrated rivals. Lying limply in Doris Elder’s hand, greatly sought after Marvin the Frog again dwells with the Seniors. CAROLYN LORETTA COLEMAN Choir 4; Library Assistant 4, 5.

Sophomores and juniors begrudg- ingly rose as the confident seniors casually strolled into the gym. Beat- ing lunch bells by two minutes, grads assured themselves places in the front of the line and a good seat in the cafeteria, filling up all availa- ble table space. No longer confined by hall passes, the upperclassmen roamed freely through the halls. Exemption of final exams brought sarcastic remarks from _ senior mouths towards the underclassmen struggling to make the grade. Rehearsing commencement, seniors reflected on the past, laughed and smiled about the present, and avoided future thoughts. Giggling with pleasure, Kathy Allin and Charlie Whitehead enjoy stroll- ing into gym while underclass- men stand at attention. Standing in line at lunch, seniors nonchalantly wait for underclass- men to trample in behind them. DONNIE JOHN DANIEL Choir 1,'2, 3,4, 5. PPA 152.3, 4,0: JOHN ROBERT DANIEL DECA 3.

Headed to the future, many sen- iors tackled the employment scene of area businesses. While most of the student body awaited the 3:35 bell, the half day seniors hit the road after 1:10. DE and VOT required seniors to take only four subjects for their equivalent school day. Envying full day friends, half- day seniors missed out on all after school activities. Working seniors earned weekly incomes to counter- act for outside functions. Appearing punctual to employers presented a problem to working students who had to tangle with the crowded parking conditions. 180 Class of '73 ey h a ye ates oe Be Byer a Part-timers forfeit club action VIRGINIA PRINCE QEQROS Future money earner, Jackie Goodwyn masters the typical task of filing at Fort Lee VOT job.

Becca Lilley surprises rain soaked spectators Starless skies opened Homecom- ing as PGHS hosted Colonial Heights in pouring rain. The crowd watched in suspense as senior can- didates, Pam Blair, Iris Lieber, and Becca Lilley descended the steps, balancing their way across wobbly planks. Mud splashing on both sides, attendants kept their smiles, undampened by the rain. When the moment came, the crowd thundered as Becca Lilley received her bou- quet of red roses from Dr. Thomas George. Candidates escaped the third quarter down-pour in time to grab a raincoat and catch a glimpse of the sea of umbrellas popping up. Catching a beaming smile from Senior contestant Pam Blair, escort Harry Turner, momentarily tenses for Home- coming outcome. Ladies First? Optimistic Roger Vlk schemes plan for safe crossing of risky mini-bridge with Iris Lieber. Frozen from mixed emotions, Becca Lilley, with escort Greg Wills, claims homecoming title from pre-reigning queen, Mary McLean.

Jim Folaros and Roger Vlk shed their heavy padding and helmets after fall foot- ball and outfitted themselves in practice uniforms and caps by early spring for baseball. Russell Smelley found football and track a good method of staying in top shape throughout the year. Gearing down from the fast pace of basketball, Matt Melvin shifted to the relaxing leisure of spring golfing. Kenny Franciscus, on the other hand, maintained consistant quick reflexes by plunging into baseball immediately following the basket- ball season. The five two sport ath- letes soared Royal hopes, producing a double amount of talent. Signalled into a huddle, Roger V1k winds up pre-game base tying chore.

Annoyed with extra exam time, Dexter James cleans nails in room quiet. August 26, 1972, placed a tragic mark on the hearts and minds of the student body and faculty at Prince George when Dexter James and Ricky Washington lost their lives in an automobile accident. Dexter and Ricky left not only each family to mourn, but also the entire student body and faculty at Prince George. Dexter and Ricky brought happy times to many at PG when days appeared to drag slowly by. In an united effort on opening day, teachers and students paid final respects for Dexter and Ricky in a moment of silent meditation.

Sliding over from a Central District title into summer league action, six Royal regulars - conditioned the PG representative for the newly formed Forrest Glass Summer League. The much talked about plan for summer recreation formalized when six area schools pitched in support. Pre-Season selections, Manchester and Colonial Heights, met stiff competition against an unexpected Royal team. Regular Wesnesday night rains reduced playing time forcing most games onto weekend dates. New found PG hurler Gary Webster surprised opponents with a fine strike out performance. Riding high on an undefeated record, Prince George hosted Colonial Heights for the final game of the season. Strong rivalry carried over from regular season play produced a 2-2 tie until the last inning when the Colonials exploded for three runs handing the Royals their only defeat in seven outings.
