But while we often take Washington for granted, there are just as many times when it seems a little like a shadow; a shadow that reaches into our lives during school, out of school, instead of school, and most certainly, after school. Picking up the Post on a Sun- day morning, it's easy to see how the national news be- comes our local news. It's not hard to get caught up in the high standards that come with an urban metropolis. How do we make our own mark when we're constantly bombarded with the celebrated vibes of famous names in politics, dance, soccer, music, theater, journalism and art? The pace of Washington chases ours, and whether we know it or not, we're in the race to keep up with it all. Most of the time, though, liv- ing near D.C. is a never-ending treat. From the Dips on the soccer field to the Rolling Stones live at the Capital Centre, Yorktowners are hit on every front with some of the best live sights and sounds of professional sports and music. Economically, we live in a cushion — we often don't feel ♦he pinch that the rest of the country does when interest rates soar, and the nation's eco- nomic outlook takes another dip. For this we can thank Uncle Sam — the almighty employer of many of our parents and a welcomed source for summer- time jobs. Front row seats to see James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer in Othello with Mrs. Henkel, and an up-close Post tour with Mrs. Alexiou's news- paper class; Washington's cultural edge helps round out a sometimes mundane routine in the average Yorkfown sche- dule. But when Yorktowners really realize what they've got Is around eight or nine o'clock; it's then that we re only too happy to hop in a car and cruise on over to the treats and beats of the number one bop spot. Casting a beautiful shadow, Washing- ton's influence reaches us academically, culturally and recreationally. Close up parti- cipants Cheryl Cole, Marie Hawlhome, and Betsy Wilahack enjoy a pre-session break on the Capitol steps. The Washington Monu- ment, Kennedy Center, Varsity rowers on the Potomac, East Wing Gallery fountains, and the Memorial Bridge statue encircle a stun- ning sunset on the waterfront. Opening 3 And Casting Our Own; Georgetown. But, don't get the wrong im- pression. We're not just here to revel in the culture and merri- ments of bustling, urban giant. We're not squelched by its size or lost in its pulsing post-day activities. We make our own mark, and take pride in the ways we do it. Carving out a place here, just 10 minutes shy of one of the most important cities in the world hasn't been easy, but we've done it, and we've done it in our own style. We're the smallest high school in Arling- ton, just under thirteen hundred, and we've got plenty of reasons to show that our size doesn't matter. From each drill team forma- tion to the smash hit THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, to ev- ery soccer or basketball tourna- ment wrapped up, and every state tennis championship polished off, we outshine the shadow of those famous monu- ments and buildings across the Potomac that we and the rest of the country know so well. We've carved out a place as unique as the Washington skyline, and our shadow is just as impressive. The Madrigals and Dr. Baxter came back from New Orleans toting a gold metal, placing them, and Yorktown, in the top five percent of the world for vo- cal music. Yorktown remained number one in the Northern Vir- ginia Math League Contests, while our shadow reached beyond our walls with senior Byung Ye's third place showing in the International Science Fair in Sweden, and senior John McGovern's first place at the Virginia State Science Fair. We also greeted another work- crammed year with the naming of nine National Merit Semi- finalist and twenty merit com- mendations. When talk increased of a possible Yorktown closing due to size, we pulled out the stops and socked 'em with our spirit. As tie-clad football players came to be an ordinary sight every Friday, wild and rowdy pep rallies and senior dress days surfaced as long awaited surprises. In taking stock of the 1981- 1982 school year, it's clear that living in a shadow can't smother our spirit; in fact, considering the one we cast, we wouldn't want it any other way, would we? -.-..

Sheryl Rod irs and Connie Van Wire- The monotonous routine of school; rising at six in the morn- ing, waiting for the school bus, first period, realizing that your homework didn't get itself done last night, constant opening and shutting of lockers, math, announcements, waiting for the final bell, and then ... the WEEKEND!!!! Freedom from teachers, homework, and from fhe everyday pressure from school. The weekend is a time to re- ax, lie back, and catch your second wind just in time for Fri- day night. Friday night ... a light for carousing with your buddies in Georgetown or cramming ten of your closest friends into your parents new four-seater car and breaking ail speed records heading to- wards the football game. The morning after the night before, Saturday morning. It is a quiet time for a maximum of sleep and a minimum of noise. At exactly the same time that Saturday night begins, you have fully' recovered from the night before and are ready to roll downtown again for another rousing night on the town or out to the movies with your favorite date. Saturday night is special. It has been commented by par- ents that if students were to spend the time they use groom- ing themselves for a date on homework, their grade point averages would rise tremendously. While Saturday morning was spent in slumber, Saturday after- noon is spent crashed on the floor in front of the tube vegging out. Then you drag your body into the shower spending no time deciding whether to use the soap that opens your eyes or doesn't leave a film on your body; you grab a bar and lather up. ZING! You are awake and alive — feeling so good that you're convinced that you could conquer the world with one hand tied behind your back. Saturday night, it sends tingles down your spine, it's a chance to do something novel, let your imagination and your spirit run wild, the opportunities are end- less. These excursions make up our everyday lives. This is your chance to look at a birds eye view of the past ... the time span from September 8,1981 to June 18,1982. From us to you, this is our story. Patriot George Hubbard: O'Connel 7, Yorktown, 3. Soaked Spirit: Varsity cheerleaders, Bemetta Vaughn and Lynne Nassetta, cheer the Patriots on. Come on Charles, I'll be your Queen If you'll be my king, pleads queen nominee, Kim Mosiman, to king nominee, Charles McLauchlin, as Mr. Kurds and Mary Gibson look on. A Soggy Showing, but Pat Spirit Prevails Back in September, York- town's Student Government saw a vision: Oktoberfest and the Homecoming football game on the same night. Preparations began leisurely, mounting to the inevitable last minute rush in the days before the events: an oompah band had to be found, the German Club pulled into service, a pregame show staged, and the half time pro- cession of the Homecoming Court arranged. As deadlines approached, details began to click into place. Cool temperatures and crisp, sunny fall days promised perfect football weather. The Navy Colorguard for recon- firmed Its promise to present the Colors for the National Anthem before the game. Balloons were on the way to be released after the band and drill team would do their things at halftime and the attendants to the Home- coming King and Queen would be Introduced. Oktoberfest, too, was shaping up nicely, due to SGA's organizational skill and the German Club's unquench- able spirit. October 23, the day all con- cerned had been eagerly antic- ipating, dawned dreary and rainy. The Oktoberfest Committee was but a trifle annoyed: their Ger- man festival was to be held in- doors, and thus was safe. Most of Ihose students and faculty mem- bers concerned wllh organizing the game, however, fell prey to a rising lide of frustration. The rain 8 Homecoming Game continued, the field got muddy. The bleachers got wet. 5:00 approached, the time that Oktoberfest was to begin, and the rain continued, abating only to a dull drizzle from time to time. Despite the foul weather, Oktoberfest managed to be a success as had been expected. At least 100 revelers appeared between five and seven p.m. ready to dance, sing, drink and generally be merry. SGA even managed to rake in about 150 dollars in profit. As for the game, well ... the Navy never showed. Could a lit- tle wet have deterred them? The band, with their delicate in- struments, opted to spend the duration of the game in the gym with the Drill Team, leaving the drumming up of pep and spirit to the slicker clad spectators freezing in the stands. Both groups emerged at the half, however, and the mid-game show proceeded oblivious to the rain. The band and jazz lab played their pieces, the drill team dazzled the devoted crowd, and the Homecoming attendants chosen the previous week filed over the muck in as regal a manner as they could manage, led by principal Steve Kurds and SGA Chairperson Mary Gibson. The balloons were sent up as scheduled, though they became entangled in the power lines, dabbing a bit of color and spirit over the York- town section. The Patriots trailed the O'Con- nell Knights throughout Ihe second half by four points; the final score was O'Connell 7, Yorktown 3. After the game, the diminished crowd splashed its way through puddles and mud out of the stadium, some dreaming of electric blankets and roaring fires, others hoping the Homecoming Dance the next night would surpass the game.

The essence Georgetown can pressed by verbs: laughing, eating, drinking, dancing, cruis- ing, buying, going, prowling, and above all, being seen. Regardless of what hits your hot spot, there is something in Georgetown for you. If you have a bleached-out mohawk, your girlfriend enjoys wearing shaving cream and electri- cian's tape, Ihen head straight for the 930 Club, Commander Salamander's, or Up Against the Wall. If you need to tune into the live band scene, then stroll on down to the Bayou, or up to The Door. This is the best live music in Georgetown. In the mood for some late night excitement? Well then, slip on your fishnet stockings, stiletto heels, and pack your toast and newspapers. Take a jump to the left, a step to the right, put your hands on your hips, puli your knees in tight, and timewarp on down to the Key Theater and the Rocky Horror Picture Show . The Tombs, Desperado's, Crazy Horse, Winston's, it's a teenage wasteland. What else can be said? After the partying gets rolling and Ihe munchies hit, scope out the American Cafe, Swensen's, Crumpets, Haagen-Daas, or the Marketplace. If you really want to make it something special there is Clyde's, Charlie's, or Rive Gauche. For those who think they don't make things like they used to, and for those who wish they still did, step back at the Overflow and Classic Clothing. As the neon lights begin to dim around “M Street, the kegs are running dry, and last call has been called. It is time to wind up Ihe fun and start the trek down the parkway that will get you home. However, George- town will still pulse and live and breathe ... until next weekend.

And a city of 50,000 Cockroaches? You must be kidding. No these are just a few of the tantalizing tidbits that showed up in the Drama Department's fall pro- duction of Moss Hart and George Kaufman's comedy The Man Who Came to Din- ner. During its three night run, the show, with a large cast of twenty-four players, totally captivated the audience. With the many talented actors and actresses that attend Yorktown, choosing the large cast was quite an achievement. The character- izations were masterful. In a su- preme casting job by Mrs. Dick- son and Mary Ann Boyd, extra vitality was given to the charac- ters by the personalities of the Yorktown actors. There was an added attraction: fresh talent. Karen Esbeck and Susie Con- way, as Whiteside's leading ladies, brought their delightful feminine wiles to Yorktown's stage. As they glided around in the superb costumes that truly captured the 1930's, they took total control. That is, until Charles McLauchlin or Rick Hammerly came in. These two seasoned veterans literally stole the show. Between taking off his pants, pulling red lingerie from unmentionable places, and attacking the unsuspecting Anne Lagomarcino on the sofa amidst fumbling arms and legs, Charles established himself as the new Harpo Marx. Rick Ham- merly, dashing and debonaire man of the world, stole the hearts and admiration of the audience with his gestures, ac- cent, and affectations. The thundering, hell-on- wheels, star of the show was Jeff North. In an immense role, pres- ent in every scene, he seemed to literally become Sheridan Whiteside. However, it was touching to see his rough veneer soften as the show prog- ressed. The Man Who Came to Dinner was chosen by Mrs. Dickson due to its mass appeal. She had wanted to do the play for some time, but was never able to acquire a major prop: the mummy case that is needed for the hilarious final scene. Mrs. Dickson was able to borrow the mummy case, along with an old fashioned wheel- chair from The Arena Stage, and the play could be done. Once that these props were ac- quired, set director, Pat Uelmen, could go to work. As usual, an excellent set was constructed, and the foundation for a fine play was built.

The Man Who Came to Dinner. 15 The Fats of To diet or not to diet, that is the question. Yorktown students pon- der over this question for days, months, and even years. Dieting is one of the prime sub- jects to talk about at Yorktown. Students seem to love to gossip about who is getting fat or thin, who looks good, who looks awful, and so on. They also love talking about which diets they have tried and failed, or succeeded at. Diet- ing is something we each have to decide for ourselves, but with the added importance of being thin, dieting is becoming more and more a fact of life. € y -x V A 3° VjjlOX KcuL o- 33£Trl3 3 $ Od oC,- • 4- v__ _ ' ’ ■ - nJo TMIS r in l£ JCXL AXJULAix CxjX'XX.

An egg ... no, a piece of toast no, bacon, ... no; they all take too long! Ah ha! ... a chocolate covered dough- nut, so you grab a couple and run out the door. It's second period now and already your stomach is growling and telling you it's hungry, but lunch is two periods away so you grin and bear it. Your teacher has just given you something to read so the classroom is suddenly silent except for the occasion ■fr'r- The Fat Te; Dilemma al loud rumble of your stomach which, much to your embar- rassment, those sitting around you can hear. Finally it's lunch time! You didn't have enough time to make lunch so you're going to buy something even though the Macke food does not appeal to you. You're in luck though, one of your friends has a car and invites you to go out to lunch. Of course you im- mediately grab at the invitation, pleased at the thought of an appealing meal. You end up at MacDonalds where you pro- ceed to order a Big Mac, Large Fries, Milk Shake and an Apple Pie. All during your next class, you sit their thinking why and how you ate so much and of all the calories you just consumed. School's over and you walk in your front door hungry again so you search your kitchen for something to eat. All you can come up with is a bowl of froot- loops so you give in and sit down in front of the T. V. to eat it. Later you're sitting in front of the television again and Mom calls you to dinner. You grum- ble and groan but trudge up- stairs. All through dinner, your tastebuds are sending wild messages to your brain. Your brain is saying what is this junk ? It tastes so different, it's not heavily salted or heavily sug- ared, it's not greasy, it's not fat- ty and it's not just sitting heavily in your stomach ... why it must be nutritious! Well dinner is over and it's time to hit the books, but you find'you just can't do your homework with- out something in your mouth so you go into the kitchen and pop some popcorn and get something to drink. Now you're set. You finish your homework as well as the pop- corn so you hit the sack. Next thing you know it is 7:00 AM and you're rushing frantically around again ... You need to go on a diet If 1.

Beach Week iso strange phenomenon as of yet not understood by scientists. En- masse, huge mobs of young people make an aestival ex- odus to Ocean City, Rehobeth, Nags Head, Virginia Beach, and numerous other seaside re- sorts. What is it that draws the teenagers in such teeming mul- titudes9 Well, it is probably the sun, the surf, the warm sand, the good friends, the craziness, or simply the freedom away from parents. Upon arriving, you unpack your Sunshine House shirts from last year, your OPs, Birdwells, i backless sundresses, and the j old standby cutoffs, and put on j the clothes that really mean the beach. After that, there is noth- ing to do but kick back anc catch some rays, or catch a few waves if the mood strikes you. If the munchies hit, roll up your sleeves and dig into the crab pot, or grab a carton of french fries from the boardwalk. There are parties every night, the blen- ders are always busy, and the stereos are always cranked Books have been set aside, and there are no schedules to keep Finally, it's time to climb into ; the car for the long road trip back home. Yorktowners mov leave the beach, but the beach never seems very far from their thoughts. The memories last a long time, and they sustain you j through the long, cold, difficult year.

Beach buddies David Laughlin and Mike Lindsay relax at a party utting it on the line “The results from the auditions of the Drama Club's play, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, have been posted on the bul- leten board in front of Ms. Dick- son's room. For all of those ... Your blood runs cold and your heart ceases to beat. You can no longer hear the teacher's incessant droning. The only thing you are conscious of is your intense desire to rush out of class and run down to the bulletin board and find your name. The bell rings and you dash out of class like a bull- dozer; piling people against the wall as you streak by. Clammor- ing down the stairs you halt, frozen in your footsteps. “What if I didn't make it? , “What if they didn't like my audition? , “What if I made a fool out of myself? Your insides are in a turmoil. Finally curiosity seizes your entire body and you quickly scan the posted results. Oh WOW — sheer relief overtakes you like a tidal wave. Faintness, yet exhilara- tion, has taken over and you feel as though you could con- quer the world with one hand tied behind your back. You stayed up late Thursday night slaving over your service club application so you could hand it in before Friday's two o'clock deadline. Now that all of the work has been com- pleted you can begin intensive worrying. “Was I accepted? , “Did they laught at my applica- tion? , “Or me? There is only one thing to do, wait. So you wait, and panic, wait some more, and finally give it up for a lost cause.

Then the covers are ripped off of you, and, still clad in your pajamas and shrouded in sleep, you are hustled off into the night. You are too tired to think anything except joy — and sleep. Trying out can entail the strug- gle involved in getting those de- sired grades, breaking twelve hundred on the S.A.T.'s, passing Functions, applying for a job, or to a particular college, as well as trying out for a team, club, sport, or a drama production. Trying out means putting your best on the line, being in the spotlight on center stage, the fear of being laughed at and ridiculed, as well as humiliation, risk, and worst of all, rejection. The possibility of being accepted is probably the only thing that helps us through those pressure filled times. The ele- ment of risk is so great that we quaver, then success shines, a beacon guiding our ship through the storm. The thrill of victory, versus the agony of de- feat. To fail and be crushed, or to succeed and rise above the masses, the ultimate goal in life is success. 20 “Don't mind me” physics!”, yells Joe Nolan.

Pulling harder: The Seniors yank their way to victory. Seniors sport Seniority for YorktowrYs premiere Olympiad week Oct. 13-17 The seniors win the Olympiad as the faculty gets dragged across the line in the tug-o-war! It was the final event in a long and tense week of competition between the seniors and the faculty, it all started out as a lit- tle, friendly competition, but as the week progressed, the ten- sion increased and it was as if the two parties had waged war on each other. Neither group could lose, for it would be too humiliating for the faculty to lose to the students, or for the super seniors to lose to the teachers. War had been declared. Strong determination and ex- cellent skill were evident on both teams. A very unwel- comed teacher upset unfolded out on the tennis courts. The das- tardly faculty duo of Mr. Christ- enson and Mrs. Rossi swatted out a shocking 6-1 victory over the hapless, bewildered student team of Lisa Demoney and Rick Hammerly. Another squelched student doubles effort surprised all as no. 1 seeded Todd Long and his partner, Sandy Pre hoda, fell to the formidable faculty couple of Mr. Lee and Mrs. Per-Lee. The faculty tipped the scales in yet another category, the It's Academic competition. Spe- culation promised a sure win to the senior trio of Clint Shaw, Charles McClaughlin, and Ed- ward Fountain, but a close match played out into a deci- sive faculty triumph of over 100 points. The high hopes of senior fans were strangled by the faculty team of Mrs. Alexiou, Mrs. Henkel, and Mark Mace- kura. Back on the court, the battle of the net wasn't a complete faculty sweep. The singles category provided the seniors with one lone chance to save face when Ted Groom domi- nated Mr. Pasati, 10-5. David Stein challenged reigning chess deity Don Butter- more and moved into a smooth and surprisingly sudden (25 mi- nutes) dethroning of the facul- ty's chess wizard. In the cross- word puzzle competition, the senior team of Rima Hartzen- bush, Jeff North, and Rick Lar- rick fell to the superior faculty team of Mrs. Wynn and Mr. But- termore. However, in the spell- ing bee, Vicky MacLeod and Edward Fountain devastated the faculty team 20-17. On the athletic front, it was the supple seniors versus the fading faculty. In a middle of the week venture, the seniors trashed the teachers 35-0 in football. In one of the many exhilarating plays, Ted Groom had an excellent re- ception in order to score. The basketball game which was played on Friday, was the site of another senior success. In this corner: On the right is the cham- pion faculty It's Academic' team; on the left are the losing seniors. Ouljumplng Mr. Price, Lee Bishop shows his senior superiority Although they did not trounce over the faculty as they had in football, their victory was im- mensely welcomed. As they say, good things al- ways come in threes ; the third good thing for the seniors was a thrashing ruin in the volleyball competition 12-8. In their final triumph it was clear that the Olympiad was an astounding success and will un- doubtedly become a tradition at Yorktown. Problems with bedgets are in the Post every day. But if Stock- man and his boys think they're the only ones with budget trou- bles, they're wrong. Maybe we don't have billion dollar deficits, but we do have as many hard choices to make about budget- ing our time. Take lunch, for example. Sounds like the easiest period of the day. Right? Wrong. We even have to make budget allo- wances during the course of a simple lunch hour. 0---vtd f Should we lunch in, and force feed a Macke hamburger just to have cramming time for that post-lunch geometry test, or do we drive on over to Ginos and really enjoy our noon-time break? But of course, there are always those of us who give up completely and escape out- doors to throw Frisbees. We all think that the school day presents us with our most difficult challenges, but the [budget process really begins once the school day ends. Do |we go home and sleep? Or do we go to Central and research that history paper for Mr. Belair's class? Do we go to that club meeting, onbetter yet, do we just chuck the whole thing and do absolutely nothing? With nighfall comes a whole new set of choices. We have to decide between which home- work is most pressing, which homework to work most diligently on, finally, which homework to forget altogether, (or at least until lunch the next day). Then there's that favorite choice: to forget homework completely and go out for the evening! Weekends are what we anticipate all week, but they present the biggest choice of all. Instead of having just one block of time to worry about,' have, two and a half days to Consider. Do we really get fcaught up in sleep and friendships, or do we plunge ahead and be the good stu- dents our parents and teachers would like us to be? But choices of how to budget our time are not the only prob- lems we face. Our shortfall is as real as that of the federal gov- ernment. We never seem to have enough money to cover all expenses. When we think we've saved up enough for class dues, club dues demand our hard-earned pennies. Dat- ing is an ever-present expense, along with the constant need to| keep our appetites sated. Un- like our debt-ridden parents, we I don't have the luxury of the old plastic money, so we have even a larger budget problem: how to find the time to earn the money to buy all the goodies we want. When it comes down to the fin- al analysis, like our friends in Washington, there really doesn't seem to be enough to go around. We never seem to have enough time to do all that we want, whether it be someone to see, something to do, or most of j all, just plain relaxing. Does life really begin It's ninety-two degrees with ninety-seven percent humidity; everyone is plated with twenty pounds of pads and equip- ment, and the coach has just ordered ten wind sprints even though practice has been going on for the past two hours. Despite heat and fatigue the running begins. An unsym- pathetic coach yells for the football players to move faster and even with aching muscles, the speed increases. All is finished and practice is over. Af- ter nearly three hours of being crushed by two-hundred pound tackles over and over again, dozens of exercises, running, and scrimmages, practice is over. Wallowing in sweat and covered with bruises, the ex- odus for the showers begins, and then ... sleep. Back in the gym, the drudgery for the game is also apparent. The cheerleaders and the Drill Team work and work to perfect their routines. Cheer- leaders toil hours each week screaming and yelling in the gym, and after going through a complete set of cheers with only a few minor mistakes, they do it again. And again. And again, until they get it right. The same is true for the Drill Team. They have only one or two routines each game so they know each one must be as good as it can be. After doing their drill over and over, they do it once more. Each Ee-ah, Ee-ah Members of the Drill Team are blown over by the gusting winds from the horns. Ken Hendrickson stumbles home af- ter a tough day at school. Drill team coordinator, Mrs. Stewart attempts to straighten out the mass con- fusion. after 2? mistake is sure to result in another run-through. Finally, once everything, every step, ev- ery turn, is memorized and etched into their mind, and ev- ery muscle is exhausted from the repetition, they can go home, tired and sore. Under the hot whie and col- ored lights, alone on a barren stage, others are getting ready for a different type of perform- ance. Actors practice daily for The Man Who Came to Din- ner, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, or Murder Among the Magnolias. Long hours are spent reading lines, repeating them, then forgetting them during a critical moment. After being prompted by the stage manager or student director, the actor silently curses himself for being so stupid, while the director curses him aloud. Then, after getting the lines memorized, they seem to come out hollow, flat, and boring. Constant interruptions and dis- tractions cause the actors to lose their character and ruin the authenticity of the scene. Finally, 26 the hours of coping with lines, characters, directors, and prob- lems are over, and they return once again to the real world. What member of the Con- tinental Congress first referred to the battle at Concord Bridge on April 19,1775, as the shot heard 'round the world ? If the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 right triangle is six inches long, what is the area of an equilateral triangle whose side is the same length as the shortest aide of the 30-60-90 triangle? A combination history and geometry test? No, they're questions asked at It's Academic practice. The moni- tor tosses out dozens of ques- tions that inevitably only one or two people know. Finally, when someone knows an answer, it seems that the next guy has hit the buzzer a second sooner. Dis- couraged by the feeling that one too many questions has slipped by before an answer pops into mind, that favorite area comes up and every ques- tion's an ace. Finally, after an invigorating comeback in the “grab bag session, the team keeps their hopes tuned to the Super Bowl treks it on home to study. Honor Societies, service clubs, and special interest clubs have one thing in common: Meetings. Each week they have meetings at which just about everything is done except what is on the agenda. People com- plain about recent club activi- ties, others defend them, more people join in, and soon the meetings is its most natural state: chaos. Everyone will have yelled shut up at least twice within the first ten minutes, if not sooner. Someone in charge will try to get order, though it will always be a loud voice from the back of the room that finally quiets everyone. Upcoming events are discussed and then committees are formed, and everyone will be positive that they've got more work to do than anyone else. Then the pres- ident will announce the meet- ing is over; though, of course, no one will be able to hear it. There is something special about that last bell of the day. When 2:00 finally comes around everything seems just a little bit better. It's a time that everyone, teachers as well' as students, looks forward to, whether it's school-related, a part-time job, or maybe just watching a favorite soap opera with a few of the junkiest foods in the house. But no matter what the afternoon plans are, to hear that 2:00 bell is a definite sense of relief. Yes, there is life after school. And some say that's when it be- gins.

It was an adventure, and with two on a team, a driver and a navigator, what could go wrong? Plenty! Aside from a small typo- graphical error on the instruc- tion sheet, which was misnum- bered and sent you on a wild- goose chase, the navigators were plagued by vandals who had absconded with several of the street signs necessary to reach the various check points. Drivers became peeved by the navigator's poor direction read- ing abilities. Every semmingly correct turn became a dead end; every time you felt that you had regained your bearings — you were lost again. When you followed someone you knew — you'd discover five miles later that they were also lost, and you'd snicker at the fools follow- ing you when you were driving down streets that weren't on your map. All participants agreed that it was a tremendous success. $50.00 cash was awarded to the first place driving duo of Kevin Bedell and Mary Gibson. Second place was won by Betsy Wildhack and Chris Duggan while third place was taken by Danny Redmond and Clint Shaw. S' iid .� mi Tiff “Hey buddy . move that sardine can before we run ya over! Music . one of the many extra attractions at this year's Auto Rally. Auto Rally, 29 illbilly Hoedown Once upon a time in the vil- lage of Dogpatch, U.S.A. there lived a homely girl named Sadie Hawkins. This poor girl was so unattractive that she had no beaus, and no pros- pects of ever marrying. Rich Papa Hawkins wanted a son-in- law, and so he decreed that all the eligible bachelors of Dog- patch had to take part in a race. The rules of this race were that the men were to be given a head-start, and soon after the girls would follow. If a girl suc- ceeded in capturing her man and dragging him across the finish line, he was obliged to marry her in a quick marriage performed by Marry'n Sam. To- day we can thank Sadie Haw- kins for the fact that we females have a chance to dictate to the males. Every year when the air turns crisp, the pumpkins begin to ripen, and the leaves change color, Yorktown girls' thoughts turn to squaredances and hayrides. Traditionally at this time, the girls are given a chance to court their beaus and escort them to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. With a reversal of the roles, the girls choose the restaurant, pay the bill, and make the passes. Despite the ill omen of Friday the 13th, Sadie Hawkins was a rollicking success. Yorktown couples showed up decked out in their hillbilly finery: flannel shirts, cut-offs, suspenders, and overalls. Underneath the yellow and orange streamers, the squaredancers do si doed and promenaded. When a break was needed, there was ample opportunity for fun. Couples rolled in the hay as they posed for pictures while other courageous souls plunged right into the apple-bobbing. Many visited the refreshment stand for cookies or a good, healthy shot of cider. Some of the dudes needed this pick-me-up before being dragged off to Marry'n Sam. Beneath white streamers and a flowered sign, Mark Mar- ry'n Sam Macekura hitched the sweethearts till death to them part or at least until the goodnight kiss. Although all the hillbillies looked right cute, Kim Mosiman and Pat Sullivan ran away with it. As Daisy Mae and L'il Abner, the two truly captured the coun- try spirit of the evening. During the last song, things got a little out of hand, and the night was wrapped up country style. Some of the cowpun- chers got a little rowdie and tore apart the bales of hay which were intended for de- coration. Finally leaving the cid- er jugs empty, the apple bob- bing water all over the floor, and the Forum in absolute chaos, the hillbillies all cleared out. From there on, only the girls know ... and they are not telling. Cutest couple: Daisey Mae (Kim Mo man) and L'il Abner (Pat Sullivan) po (or their picture.

Through all these hardships the class spirit prevailed and the 1981-1982 powder-puff games finally got under way. In the opening game be- tween the freshmen and the sophomores, a melee of penal- ties and broken plays plaqued them. Afterwards, the players and coaches were bitter about the game. It ended in a score- less tie with both parties vowing that next year would be dif- ferent. The game was highlighted by the running of Mary Kay Nasset- ta for the freshmen, and Marilyn Hutton for the sophomores. Lacking in cheerleaders, the freshmen were backed up by their fans. The opposite applied to the sophomores; lacking fans, they were supported by their sexy, toga bearing cheer- leaders. The junior senior contest proved to be far more interest- ing. Following in the tradition of past powder-puff matches the game was a real grunt and groaner. Birute Sadauskas scored first for the seniors with a three yard run through a pack of thrashing, thrusting, and wildly heaving Juniors for the score. The extra points were missed, and the score was 6-0 through the end of the first half. In the second half the juniors threw themselves into the heat of battle. Chris Blincoe drove the ball 5 yards for the score. The juniors, playing monkey see monkey do with the seniors, failed to make the extra points. The game was now 6-6 and nearing the end. It looked os though it was going to end that way until 3 minutes were left in the game. Kathleen Palmes, who had dominated the attack for the seniors, swept past the juniors' defensive line for a 40- yard score. Once again the seniors failed in the attempt for the extra points, and the game ended in a 12-6 senior win. The games provide enjoy- ment for everyone. They are o tradition at Yorktown that will never die, hopefully. However, through lack of participation, and fan support they may end. 34 Tom Landry Clones Chris Meigs and Garth Erdossy watch as their teams chalk up a victory. Now We Know why the Sophomore cheerleaders were so happy, right Ted? Wild Craziness abounds anywhere near the zany senior cheerleaders. Kathleen Palmes runs past as Mary Lorino falls down on the job. 35 TIME: 4th PERIOD PLACE: CAFTERIA The main talk of the period concerns the possibilities of va- rious parties over the weekend. Word is that Zeta might be hav- ing one, or maybe Key Club, but even if these don't material- ize, there will be a party. When the word party is mentioned at Yorktown, you get the same effect as when E.F. Hutton talks. Why does this happen? There are numerous reasons. Wanting to get out of the house, to escape, to get drunk, and to just have a good time are the major “We're having a party!” exclaim the seniors. Paul Timpane concocts another famous brew. Innocent Amy says. This is really Coke. Let the Good Times Ro reasons. All in all, it is just the social life at Yorktown. Just as in school, the different cliques go their own ways. There are grit parties, prep parties, middle of the road parties, and sometimes mixed parties. The one common element of all the parties is alcohol. It is every- where. Most times Budweiser is the typical brew carried by a Yorktown student, but when the event calls for a celebration, all brands are present, and often times Mr, Daniels even drops by. Yorktown students seem to party anywhere and anytime. This year there were mid-week parties, as well as pre-game, mid-game, and post-game activities going on during foot- ball and basketball. On most weekends a party can be found at someone's house, and when that doesn't work out, Georgetown is just 10 minutes away. Even closer is McHenry's at happy hour, George's Pub, or Johnny's Bar and Grill. Yet par- ties seem to be the favorite of all these options, and are most often the liveliest. What happens at these par- ties? Well, games of all kinds are played. Games such as Caps and Quarters are ex- tremely popular. Yet it seems that as the games progress the players ability to sink the quarter in a glass of beer decreases, Well, it's all part of the game. New friends can be made at these Yorktown functions, even if they are only for the duration of the party. The parties are an important part of Yotktown life, for without them there would be nothing to gossip about Mon- day morning. 36 Parties Parties 37 Mr. Blackwood ponders over another problem.

V r $ Pjtt ' x S' Think about it: Washington D.C. is a city of names, very famous names. Throughout his- tory there has been a constant parade of very famous people through the hallowed halls and chambers which have been associated with Washington. There have been statesmen, artists, diplomats, and great performers of all kinds. Laws that govern people all over the United States of America are decided on by people in Washington. One cannot study our history without studying the people who have characte- rized our nation's capital. However, there is another angle to this study of people.

Our citizens share the problems that plague Washington: Transit, Zoning, Development, Housing ... We are not residents of the city, but we share many things. As students at Yorktown, we in turn contribute also to Arlington as a whole. This year, for in- stance, we have two Presi- dential Scholars. We are the fu- ture for our country, sharing its destiny. Yorktown lives in the shadow of Arlington; Arlington lives in the shadow of Washington. Yet, despite this, we all continue to cast important distinct, sha- dows of our own. People Divider 39 WARNING: SENIOR SLUMP IN EPIDEMIC STAGE AT YORKTOWN! No, Senior Slump is not bad posture brought on by carrying too many books home for four years in a row. The senior slump hits the unsuspecting stu- dents about halfway into their senior year. Sud- denly, the college acceptances start pouring in and the ecstatic seniors no longer feel the need to work toward tneir future. Instead, they feel the irre- sistible urge to party. Even those not yet accepted to the college of their choice join in the festive spirit. After almost four long years, the seniors have had enough of homework, tests, and nagging teachers. So they slump. Characteristics of the slump include: parties for any and all occasions, homework assignments turned in three weeks late (at best), and sparse attendance in senior classes. Some lucky students are able to escape this fatal disease by hard work and no social life to speak of. Of course, such are “stuck attending colleges such as Yale or Princeton. Most seniors, however, fall victim to this raging epidemic and attend U. VA or Tech to recover. MATTHEW E. ADAMS JONATHAN D. AHALT JAY G. ALLEN Track 1; Swimming I.2.3.4.

The reason for this was that restless seniors, tired of four years of classes, homework, etc., have whenever possible devised reasons to get out of the house and party. This is the reason behind Hump Par- ties . Hump parties celebrate getting halfway through the school week, or in other words, mak- ing it over the hump . Hump parties generally consist of twenty or thirty seniors who get together Wednesday night, listen to music, relax, and drink a few beers. These par- ties, however, are conditional. Only when some- body's parents are out of town or out for the eve- ning can they take place. Parents' plans also de- cide whether it will be a pre-hump party on Tuesday, a hump party on Wednesday, or a post-hump party on Thursday. ADAM EDWARD BERMAN Football.

This year's senior powderpuff cheerleaders con- sisted mainly of last year's veteran junior squad. Their precision maneuvers and tasteless cheers thrilled the crowd beyond belief. The inventive squad performed several original cheers such as the bathroom cheer , Birth of a frog , wipe-out and the crowd's favorite, the senior look . These were supplemented with some of the last year's favorites. Dede Macekura provided the sexy out- fits that the seniors wore to the game and school. Good spirits helped the squad support their team as well as entertain the crowd. Lead by co-captains Jeff North and Paul Tim- pane, the squad worked hard, staying after school on several occasions. Their junior counter- parts could not even muster a squad. The well- practiced performance added to the day's enter- tainment and everyone enjoyed the show. JEFFREY J.

It is Monday night, and your brother just spilled his milk onto your plate. Your molher has served tuna fish casserole for the third time this week, and you decide you can't take anymore. Suddenly, you remember the phone call from your college buddy who told you about the great dinner they had last Tuesday; stewed toma- toes and liver in green sauce. (Green sauce?? No one knows just why it was green.) You decide, on second thought, that mom's tuna casserole aint' so bad after all. Your little brother, Samuel Beauregard III has just gotten an A on his fractions test. To celebrate, he decides to make you so mad that you foam at the mouth, (it looked so funny last time.) He calls you , listens in on your phone call with your dreamgirl and burps, and then colors a moustache on your favorite poster of Loni Anderson. After a chase through the house, you comer the little weasel in the laundry room and are preparing to pour laundry bleach down his throat. Suddenly you remember the picture your father carries in his wallet of his first Christmas back home after going to college. He has his arms around his little brothers and he's smiling. He says he carries it because he missed them. Slowly you lower Weaselface to the ground and magnanimously forgive him on the spot. Are you going crazy? Has your mind totally left you? No — it's just a phenomenom which seems to happen right around the senior year. It's called appreciation — when you know you're going to be leaving, suddenly things look a little better. After all, as Mr. Wolfe says — you can't go home again. ANDREA L. DAVIS Powderpuff Football 1,2. Spanish Club Honors 1,2.3. French Club 3. Pep Club 1.2. Spanish Tutor 3, Powderpuff 1.2.

EDSALL Freelance photographer, Pat Sullivan asks, Work? in school? I only come to play basketball! Mark Layton concentrates hard trying to remember who he took out last night. 47 en Years From Now June, 1992. The streamers will be hung in the Yorktown Forum in anticipation of the tenth-year reunion of the Yorktown Class of 1982. 1982 has been a good year, and it has been a damn good class. Ten years is a long time. Maybe there will be a war, or maybe a scientific breakthrough which will change the entire courses of our lives. Some of us may have children, others will be in school still, some successful in their chosen fields. One of us might win a Nobel Peace Prize, another might be a technician for the phone company, another a psychiatrist. There might be — a millionaire by 28. Yes, ten years is a very long time, maybe even too long to imagine realistically, Chances are that many of us will be very different people, altered by circumstances and knowledge. However, we will share the bond of having spent the past four years together, nurturing, teaching and criticizing each other; broadening each other's horizons. So, we will greet each other with outstretched arms and a reach smile, and perhaps a touch of in- credulousness. Good luck. Class of 1982!!! See you Ten Years From Now ...

Calm Senior, Andrew Shipley, watches this underclassman try to hide from the librarian 49 The End The END OF THE YEAR PARTY was thrown by Beth and everyone was HAPPY. Danny who was looking for his lighter, said, Hey! Somebody LIGHT MY FIRE!” GET OFF OF MY CLOUD!” shouted Connie, who stormed off to be alone. Fine! shouted Chris, “IF YOU DON’T WANT ME, then GET OFF OF MY BLUE SUEDE SHOES!” Paula, who definitely is described by these words — (SHE’S SO COLD) — stood up and said, “DAMMIT JANET! I'm a CENTER- FOLD!” John said. Well, my DEVIL WITH THE BLUE DRESS, as long as we don't CRASH AND BURN, I think we'll be ROCKING INTO THE NIGHT!” “NO MERCY!” shouted Timpane, who was definitely BORN TO BE WILD, just wanna SHOUT!” Give that man a Budweiser! “LOUIE, LOUIE where are you? shouted Pam. “GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY!” shouted Clint, after looking at his Mickey Mouse Timex, “IT’S TIME FOR ME TO FLY!” Suddenly, a bunch of NEW TRADITIONALISTS burst in and tried to convert the party into a COMPUTER WORLD. But, SUPER FREAK, Charles McLauchlin came in, and, with side kick Dan “KID CHARLEMAGNE” Redmond, DISCON- NECTED the BAD BOYS so that everyone could go back to using a POCKET CALCULATOR. Hey, everyone, said Tim Rader, lets slam dance! No way! replied the party, and then slammed Tim out of a window The keg is dry! shouted Ted Groom, who was definitely riding the CRAZY TRAIN. What about my furniture exclaimed Beth. What Furniture? asked Robert “TROUBLE” Luthy. Exactly, said Beth What in the world is going on? roared the police officers who were quickly filling the room. “OUR LIPS ARE SEALED” said everyone at the party. “IS IT OVER?” asked Donna.

Sheryl stares in awe at how much light reflects off Mr. Smith's head Gettin in: it's survival of the fittest before college acceptances come through. As the last summer of high school ends, upcoming seniors begin thinking of college. The haunting image of the college application hovers above the heads of many. Pressure builds as counselors and parents tell students they had better start thinking about what they want from life Except for the lucky few who have known they were going to be a fireman since the age of five, most students wonder, How am I supposed to know what I want when I barely know what there is? Burning the midnight oil in order to complete the application essay that mother said to finish this weekend is a pattern of annual crops of college- bound students. After the toil of completing the forms is over, all students can do is wait in never ending anticipation. Days go by, months go by, and as temples start graying, seniors begin to loathe their best friend who got early acceptance to Harvard. Students begin to wonder if they are worth anything as they await the final verdict. They've opened their souls to some faceless Demon of Admissions. As the sweat drips from their brows and the rope dangles about their necks, baby brothers are gleefully ready to kick the stool from under them. But in the last gleaming second, mother bursts through the garage door — WAIT. DONT JUMP! Suddenly the sun reappears, birds chirp merrily and a rain- bow lights the evening sky. YOU'VE BEEN ACCEPTED!

Class President Charles McLauch- lin and his gutsy staff put their necks on the line and met Mr. Parker's call. The deal was that on a given day, the seniors all participate in a dress- up festival which entailed certain dress standards. Chuck, Danny, Linda, and of course Clint all went to work publicizing the event. Posters pleaded the class to join the football players in a spirited, well-dressed day of semi- formal wear the day of the W-L game. Jeff North's announcements accom- panied Paul Timpane's threats of violence which helped the cause tremendously. Meanwhile, George Parker sweated it out as his hundred greenbacks began to slip through his hands, and Clint Shaw's eyes began to read dollar signs. The day finally came and, needless to say, the seniors came through like the true champions they are. A pep rally saw Mr. Parker's bona fide wager duly awarded as the senior officers let out a tremendous sigh of relief. SHEILA KEPLINGER Chorus 1,2.

Walter displays a devilish smile as Carolyn bends over to pick up a piece of paper Hollywood Inspires A Musical Revolution At Yorktown Four figures stand on the stage, clad in black suits, black ties, black shoes, black hats, black sunglasses and white shirts. The crowds roar as the band strikes up the familiar strain of the Blues Brothers opening, and they begin to dance in the aisles. Jake Blues (Alias Steve Kurcis) and Elwod Blues (Paul Timpane incognito) then announce the 81-1982 senior class officers: President: Charles McLaughlin; Secretary: Linda Miller, V.P.: Danny Redmond; and Treasurer: Clint Shaw. The theme the officers chose for their senior year was a big success. Inspired by last year's senior class president Hani Elnaggar, the officers de- cided on the Blues Brothers as the theme for this year's senior class theme. Many hours of hard work were involved in finding the costumes, but it was well worth the effort; it caught like wildfire. At every assembly, pep rally, football game, and party. The students swam to songs from the Blues Brothers movie. Never at Yorktown was a theme accepted so well. KIRK LOWERY Basketball 1; Football 1; Varsi- ty Football 4. J.V. Soccer 2.

Smile, Garth, I want to take your picture. 57 Hope for the unemployed With graduation only several months away, we on the yearbook staff put our heads together and came up with a list of unusual occupations for those seniors, who are about to be freed from their childhood responsibilities and become men and women overnight. This list is for those who do not have the vaguest notion which path they want to take in life. Here are several suggestions: Mousetrap tester. Javelin catcher Toilet paper tester. Tidy bowl man Plunger manufacturer. Kamikaze pilot F.B.I. archery target. Pimento stuffer Santa Claus, Macke food representative Vampire hunter. Toothpaste tube capper Zoo cleanup staff.

Seniors face many challenges during their final year in high school. These challenges are academic and non-academic. Up until first semester, seniors are challenged to uphold high class rank for college acceptance. Seniors are also challenged to score well on S.A.T.'s and Achievements. They are challenged to choose the ideal college considering their own ability, financial state, and interests. Among the more pleasant challenges that seniors face are those non- academic. Mr. Parker challenged the senior class to a Dress-up Day on November 6th. Senior leadership and spirit were expressed when a devas- tating ninety-seven percent dressed up; the senior class was awarded and honorable sum of one hundred dollars for their overwhelming participation. The faculty was conquered by the senior class in the Senior Olympiad. A group of junior guys challenged a group of senior guys to a game of quarters; again, the seniors were victorious. The seniors forcefully defeated the underclass in the Kappa sponsored spirit chain. Although seniors face many challenges, they strive energetically to reach the top. In their ascending process, seniors encounter many obstacles which must be leaped; soon, the pathway to success is clear. Later in life, seniors will face more complicated challenges, but they must not surrender. Seniors of the class of '82 must remember one thing — it is extremely difficult to beat the best!! JOSEPH M.

It seems whenever you do anything, you are asked to prove how much you know or how proficient you are at something. Scholastic Achievement Tests (SAT's), Achievement tests, and Advanced Placement Tests are the bane of every senior's life. The endless college applications ask, for example, the most significant activity you have participated in since quitting training pants. They delve into every aspect of your past life and measure every achievement or failure. True, it seems as though the whole world is looking at your accomplish- ments and drawbacks. More importantly, each senior is forced to face up to himself. In less than six months, each senior will be on his own, and will be expected to be a true individual. Now is the thrilling, bittersweet challenge of discovering exactly who you are and what you stand for. It takes courage to honestly access your weaknesses, but sometimes even more courage to access your talents. However, it is ironic that the classification and numeration of each student by the academic administration is in such contrast to the coming-of-age of the students. While they are trying to depersonify you, you are striving to become a distinct individual. For so many years we have been known as so-and-so's son or Joe Blow's sister . In the next couple of years, we will be called front and center and called by name. It is a thrilling feeling, for with this maturation comes a freedom and emancipation. It is a starting point, a springboard. We are urged and coerced to examine ourselves, and in this way, we are finding ourselves.

From the very first assembly when the officers showed up dressed as the Blues Brothers, it was evident that the year's activities would be bountiful. The Fall Senior Picnic was a huge success, with almost everyone visiting the creek during a huge watertight. Senior President Charles McLauchlin was determined to have numerous activities to earn money, and he came through on his promise. With a record profit of $240, the Sadie Hawkins Dance proved to be the class' most profitable venture. For the second year in a row the class voted to allow the junior girls to come, and a good time was had by all. There was another big first at Yorktown this year: the Auto Rally. This non-speed race through Northern Virginia was just another of the activities that the officers set up. While not many students participated, there is a strong possibility that there will be a spring Auto Rally with even larger attendance. Responding to a proposal by Mr. Parker, the class displayed its spirit by dressing up one Friday. After 97% of them dressed, Mr. Parker presented them with a one-hundred dollar check coming out of his own pocket. In addition to these activities, the class sponsored an open house dance, a Monty Python movie, as well as all of the Senior Week Activities. The fact that the Seniors have an excess of funds can be accredited to class officers Charles McLauchlin, Danny Redmond, Linda Miller, and Clint Shaw, as well as the newly-formed Senior Council. It was most definitely an excellent year for the Class of '82. CLINTON ROBERT SHAW, JR. Swimming 2,3,4.

The first class to experience the full four years at Yorktown find itself walking its halls and climb- ing its stairs for the last times. Though we are com- pleting our last days at Yorktown, the things we have learned and experienced here will always remain with us. As we stroll the halls of Yorktown for our last times, after the last class, the walk up the stairs and out the door; what next? Our last four years have been in a sheltered world, with parents taking care of us, knowing what to expect at Yorktown, and knowing where to go for help. Now most of us at the class of '82 are either going out into the working world or leaving home for college. Our last steps through Yorktown also signify the end of our [secure] little world. What will be asked of us in the future is still a question mark. What is reality is that we will be much more independent and self- reliant in the years to come. LAURA ELIZABETH THOMPSON J.V.

As you pass through the doors of Yorktown, you perceive the mass of humanity streaming by you. Suddenly, a familiar face! Sud- denly, you are almost knocked off of your feet as your neural impulses finally reach your groggy brain. There was a small, fuzzy caterpillar on his lip! No, it wasn't a caterpillar. It was simply one of the floundering, fledgling moustaches that have become the epidemic of Yorktown lips. However, it does not stop there. There are count- less stories of that girl you've never really seen because the bandana and Harley Davidson ear- rings got in the way. Suddenly, one day you were impressed by a lithe beauty gliding down the hall in a skirt and curly hair. Yes — it was she! Have Yorktown students become crazy? Have they been replaced by a group of extraterrestrial beings? No — it is simply a phenomenon of the most dreaded, horrific disease of them all — ag- ing. The new clothes and body adornments are simply the signs of growing up. Along with the new jobs, new responsibilities, and new freedoms come the first vestiges of adulthood. It may seem strange at first, but just you wait ... someday, suddenly, you'll realize that it doesn't look half bad.

It's Inde- pendence Day, this time. — Bruce Springsteen Lisa Demoney: Because desire just cheats you, it's like a sunbeam skipping here and there about a room. It stops and gilds some inconse- quential object and we poor fools try to grasp it—but when we do, the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you've got the inconsequen- tial part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone. — F.

Behind the Senior Scene. 91 The Class of ’83: Like a Senior once said, 'I have nothing against Juniors, it's just that Seniors are better. That just about sums it up. Juniors — second fiddle to the omnipotent Seniors, living in the shadows, one step from the top. This year's Junior class, however, decided they weren't going to settle for second best. All year long the battle has been going strong. Where would the sports teams be without the Junior runners, shooters, kickers, and wrestlers? Who has the spirit that domi- nates pep rallies and sports events? The Class of '83 lives in no one's shadow; they prefer to cast their own. But, alas, as Juniors all that determination had to be put to more than just beating the Seniors. As one optimistic class member puts it: “Being a Junior is like signing your death certifi- cate! How much worse can it get? groans another. Well, it can't get much worse, academically, for the Junior year is known to be a real killer. Important subjects are studied, though; The knowledge ac- quired will stay with us for the rest of our lives. American History gives us unique insights into America's past, like the number of pages Thomas Jefferson used to write the original Declaration and the name of George Washington's horse. English dearly shows us that Puritan morals, southern families. Junior Spirit: Can the Seniors beat this'7 Second to None! Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Faulkner, and Sunday night essays will all eventually lead to despair (and headaches). Chem- istry teachers take pride in teaching that there are precise- ly 6.02 X 10 23 molecules to the mole (whatever that is precise- ly). To add to the fun, there are the PSAT's and the SAT's which are taken without fail — first in hopes of National Merit, and then simply for college accept- ance. By the time June rolls around we find ourselves think- ing in analogies (weekday: work as weekend: party), and No more homework! has be- come the common plea. What a relief the lazy summer days of light novels and soap operas will be! Despite the shadows of Seniors and schoolwork, the Juniors certainly proved they can stand on their own. The Literature and History exams are over and a mole is once again a furry animal that scurries underground The PSAT's are passe, to be replaced next fall by college applications. Best of all, the Seniors are leaving, their shadows dissipating. Soon, we will no longer be the challen- gers, but the champs at the top of the hill. Others will try to take us down, but if '81-'82 was any indication, the Class of '83 is a tough, nearly impossible act to beat. Work, work, work! There is no tougher year academically C.Bocock M.

Did you know that James Madison was only 5'2 tall? Or that the Declaration of Inde- pendence wasn't ratified com- pletely until August of 1776? How about the name of George Washington's horse? Well, the answer is probably “yes to all of these questions if you're one of the large majority of York- town Juniors enrolled in Amer- ican History. Yes, U.S. and Virgi- nia History, that required course that takes us on a whirl- wind trip through 400 years in less than nine months. Some- times the jet lag can ret almost unbearable — sc many dates and facts at once tend to make the mind a bit mushy. The easiest questions become mind-bogglers. Was the Shot Heard Round the World fired at Lexington of Yorktown? Who attacked Pearl Harbor? When did the Civil War end? The ma- jor question, however, remains Why am I here? Despite the sometimes trivial curriculum, history is an impor- tant subject. It isn't the fact that 4,435 Americans were killed in the Revolutionary War that's im- portant, but the fact that it was fought at all. Think how different life would be if it had never occured. History can be enjoy- able — despite the tests, read- ings, and research papers. There is a certain excitement in discovering the past and the realization that those idealized founding fathers were actual- ly living, breathing people. Any- way, the year is over; the dates and facts, learned. Only one question still remains un- answered: What does George Washington's horse have to do with anything? “Hey you guys,” cries an enthusiastic Sandy Sawyer, you'll never guess what happened on July 4th! 94 Juniors G.

It's Tuesday, right? “No, they changed it to Thurs- day, I think. “Are you sure? Let's go ask Al; he certainly should know. But, alas, after changing the date several times to accomo- date the athletes and artists of the class, even President Shand- Ibauer was uncertain as to whether the event would ever get off the ground. “It's not my fault! he screamed. “I don't even know when it is! But the clouds gradually began to clear, and on October 1st much of the class came together for an afternoon of friends, food and fun. Chaperones, Mr. Par- ker and Ms. Glenn, did their best to feed the hungry mob on raw hamburgers and frozen rolls, and nearly succeeded, for one thing all Juniors do well is eat. At any rate, a good time was had by all; there was something to please almost everyone's taste. A 'Shirts vs. skins' football game provided the guys with exercise and an interesting spectacle for the girls. There were the usual frisbee games and attempted creek-drenchings and, of course, everyone enjoyed the good old-fashioned arts of con- versation and socializing. Although many missed the Junior Picnic due to the crazy scheduling,it was a relative suc- cess. How could it have been anything else with the Class of '83 involved? K. Meissner P. Melnick F.

Sophomores: In Suspended Animation? Being a sophomore is a trying time in high school. It's as if you're in suspended animation, not on the top or the bottom. There are many new pressures, adventures and experiences. This a time of growth, not only maturing physically, but socially as well. There are several advan- tages to being a sophomore. Walking into Yorktown this year was a lot easier than as a fresh- man. You feel as though you're part of the action, rather than just an observer. Also, you real- ize just how many people you know and how many people know you. Yorktown has be- come a part of you. Socially, being a sophomore is great. The word freshman is no lon- ger your present, but way in the past. It seems as though there are more parties but it's just that you hear about them. The peo- ple you knew, you get to know better; the ones you don't know, you meet. The work load is a lot heavier. The teachers also seem dif- ferent. You realize how many things are offered to you, and now you can take advantage of them — Career Center, VOT, and DOE. A big offering, awaited by almost every soph- omore, is driver education. This makes students take on new re- sponsibility and gives them somewhat of an adult status. Despite the awkwardness, there are good points in this year. Now you're really in high school and there's no turning back. You are on your way socially and educationally. 101 So this is suspended animation — Soph- omore English. Have you ever had the desire to peer into the internal work- ings of a frog? Does the smell of formaldehyde permeate your dreams? Are you constantly on the lookout for protozoa, gym- nosperms, and hybrid plants? Well, if you answered Yes to any of these questions, then you are probably an avid fan of Biology I at Yorktown. Usually a tenth grade class, this subject takes ambitious fourteen and fif- teen year olds on a mystifying trip into life itself, to understand its functions and uncover its mysteries. The life cycles of ev- erything from one-celled para- sites to the Redwoods of Califor- nia are explored. Through study and microscopic viewing, stu- dents are able to see the mitochondria, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticula of the world. Chain building is also a popular activity: chains of DNA and RNA, long protein polypeptide chains, filaments of algae, food chains ... But, the part everyone looks to for- ward most, of course, is the dis- sections of worms, grasshop- pers and frogs. Here the adven- turers fall into three major cate- gories: the diggers, the pickers, and the squeamish. The diggers go in with both hands, pulling out system after system for clos- er inspection. The pickers use pins, needles, scissors, and pen- cils to perform the whole opera- tion, only touching the animal when absolutely necessary. For the squeamish, watching is more than enough. According to the course description manu- als, Biology I is the study of the science of life. It is supposedly full of discovery and the won- ders of the living world.

Remember all the times you stood on the comer and waited for two hours in the freezing wind for a bus to Tyson's Comer? Or when you and your friends couldn't go to the movies be- cause your parents didn't feel like driving? Or you had to go straight home right after football and basketball games be- cause no one's mother wanted to drive after ten thirty? Or when you had to miss all the most ex- citing away games because your father didn't know where the other school was? Well, once you have endured the whiplash stops, the ago- nized gasps of your fellow stu- dents as you narrowly avoid hit- ting a car, and the white knuck- les of the teacher as you whip around a comer at forty miles per hour, you enter the adult world of freedom. Everyone says that puberty is the beginning of adulthood. It's a lie The threshold is when you walk up to the counter at the DMV and they hand you that plasticized card with your picture on it. Unfortunately, to enter into the driving world, you have to make your parents realize that you don't have to be an Indy 500 driver to venture out on Glebe Road alone. But eventually after much pleading, they relent, hand you the keys, and let you go, giving last second instruc- tions and warnings all the way, It's worth all the trouble and the wait to start up the car as Mom and Dad stand at the window chewing their nails, beginning to count down the seconds until you arrive home, having pro- tected their car from so much as a nick. .

It brings back memories of acting super- cool and being really scared. It is the time when you looked back and laughed at inter- mediate school, and looked up to everyone in high school. The first year at Yorktown is really a time of looking up ... Everyone is taller than you are. Everyone seems smarter than you. Every- one else seems to have so many friends and know who everyone is. The freshman year is a year of being patient, but really a year of being anxious. And it is a time of being tolerant.

McGovern Sex (Giggle, Giggle) What is the class that is both dreaded and looked forward to, is serious, but makes you gig- gle, and is only taken by fresh- men and sophomores? Sex Education. Required by the State of Virgin- ia, this class is taught by the P.E. teachers who usually manage to teach the facts with minimal embarrassment. The attentive sex ed, student learns about personal hygiene, family plan- ning and the reproductive sys- tem. There are films, visiting speakers, text books, and an occasional discussion. Everyone has fun when the visiting speaker comes to talk about birth control. The talk is informative, and the visual aids that are passed around are the real things . Of course, some of the freshmen and sophomores are overcome by the thrill of holding a box of birth control pills, and burst into a fit of gig- gles. By the time the question and answer period comes at the end of class, there are few students who are daring enough to voice their uncertain- ties. Also arousing muffled laugh- ter are the films about peer pressure, birth control, and the reproductive system. The photog- raphy in the sex ed, films in de- finitely different from anything seen in a biology film, and most Education students are too embarrassed to admit to watching them The real horrors of the class are found in the text books; de- finitions must be memorized, along with diagrams. Although the medical terms in the text aren't as awkward to say out loud, they are harder to spell. As for the diagrams, they don't re- semble anything recognizable Basically, sex education has something to offer everyone. The thrill-seekers, the fact- finders, and the curious young are all satisfied after two years of giggling about the most se- rious class taught at Yorktown. “Oh I know what you're talking about ' grins Lynn Brakefieid. 112 Freshmen J.

Zeigler Side by Side by Side Yorktown students are known for their outstanding spirit and support. People tend to forget, however, that teachers and administrators, too, are part of the strong infrastructure which keeps Yorktown on top academically, athletically, and artistically. Everyone, teachers and students alike, is willing to put in a lot of effort for their school. The evidence of this support can be found anywhere, any- time. Rarely an afternoon goes by that the halls are not filled with after-school practices, programs, and meetings. Athletes put in hours of practice running the halls and jumping the stairs. However, you must not forget the coaches that mas- querade as teachers during the day and put in many extra hours to take their teams to the top of the districts. Many Yorktown teachers sponsor clubs and honor societies which do a great deal of hard work for the school and community. The more artistically inclined prac- tice many long hours to enter- tain the Yorktown community. Teachers and administrators spend many hours working with the students on everything from monitoring SAT's and hosting basketball games to painting prom murals and slaving to get The Sentry out on time. Where- ver you look, people are work- ing together for Yorktown. Nearly everyone has some- thing to contribute to the school. He can play on a team or coach it. He can sing in the choir or keep them all in tune. He can even run around for nine months like a crazy man and end up with something called a “year- book. Yorktown is a small school with a lot of support — support that comes from caring, sharing, and lots of hard work. Dr. Baxter not only excels In choral music but he's teaching his students to play their fingers as well. 116 Working Together 4 M Teachers and students alike put in long hours of teamwork: Mrs. Alexiou coaches her fine Sentry staff; Mr. Butter more helps Charles push the right but- tons; Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Murtaugh work with students in and outside the class- room; and Mrs. Henkel performs the dif- ficult task of preparing Seniors like Henry and Randy for college papers. Working Together 117 Homework, In class?! Only for the wise few. Joe Bailey has a lot of homework, for a freshman. Katie Farrel, thankful for her Cliff Notes, was too busy cheering to read the whole book. In bed, Carol Hurley studies for her next test. On the phone, Nikki does her home- work. 118 .'Studying Homework: A Lesson in Procrastination That's just what I need after a long, hard day of work at school. A beer? No, homework! O.K., let's see. I've got fifty pages to read and take notes on for history, a chapter of chem- istry to do, twenty-three prob- lems for math, twelve questions in Spanish, and an English essay to write. This is going to take me forever! I better start on my chem now. I wonder what time it is? It's 3:15! Oh my God! I'm missing Gener- al Hospital ! I can do my chem during the commercials, I guess. I've got to see what's happen- ing to Luke. Oh! And Rick and Leslie, and Heather, and Joe ... 4:00?! I better get to work. I'm so hungry though. I better go get some munchies first. 4:35! O.K. chem, here I am! What page is it? Here it is. O.K. here it is: How many moles are in 9.8 litres of H20. How do i do that? I better call somebody about that. Hi, how's it going? I'm doing my chemistry. I don't get it at all. Do you? No, I didn't hear how to do it either. Did I see you last weekend? Who's house? Oh, yea, I saw you! That was great. What are you doing this weekend? 5:20! I've gotta get all this stuff done, this is crazy! Forget chem- istry, I'll just tell him I couldn't get it done. I better start my his- tory now. It's so boring though. I'm so tired too. I better take a little nap now. 6:10. Dinner's on the table. Wake up, it's time to eat! 7:00. It's getting late, and I've got to get my work done. I better go to the library. Ther's everybody from my En- glish class, maybe I can get an idea for my essay. Oh, there's everybody from our lunch table! I’ve gotta go see them. Who's with that with them? Oh, there's those guys from math, maybe they got the work. Look who just walked in, I haven't seen them for so long .. 8:15. I am going to have to ask you to leave. I know we were being a little loud, but I didn't think we'd get thrown out. That's really bad. I can't go home yet. Hmmm, let's go to Baskin's for some ice cream! 9:30. Hi, mom! What? Yeah, I got a lot done. I'm going to go downstairs and study some more. I wonder what's on HBO now? Oh, wow! This is a great movie. I love the next scene! 11:45. That was a great movie. I love the ending. I'm pretty tired, I've got to go to bed now. I can do the rest of my work at lunch tomorrow ... Studying 119 Kurds, Steve Principal Glenn, Brenda Assistant Principal Lewis.

Marilyn Barrueta. She began work- ing for the Voice of America as a Por- tugese broadcaster and writer. The budget was cut so she was about to return to Brazil, but decided, instead to stay in the states. Hearing about an available teaching job on the Tuesday before labor day, twenty five years ago, Senora Bar- rueta taught on that day and has been teaching ever since. Many students can be heard complain- ing about the difficulty of Senora Bar- rueta's class, but usually admit they appreciate the hard work because they really learn the material. An average day in Senora Barrueta's class starts with an oral discussion (in Spanish, of course) which captures the students' interest. Every day a new lesson is learned. It may be grammar, or perhaps Senora might share some of her knowledge of Spanish culture. The frequent homework quizzes keep the students alert, and her favorite trick is an oral dialogue with only a couple minutes' preparation time allowed. Around her neck. Senior Barrueta wears a curious necklace, It is an upside down human palm, and Senora Barrueta said, I wear it to remind myself of man's in- humanity to man, in the hope that if he is reminded enough, it will stop. Senora Barrueta is very involved in acti- vities at Yorktown. She is the sponsor for Spanish Club and Honors and is planning a trip to Spain in the spring. Allen.

These are methods Mr. Lee, the psychology teacher, uses to teach his class, which is one of the most popular courses ottered at Yorktown. The fact that it is a college level course does not discourage the many juniors and seniors who think it is a fasci- nating way to learn. And the fact that such an advanced course is so popular speaks highly of our student body. Mr. Lee himself is a major part of the attraction. He is a vivacious man whos' enthusiasm for teaching cannot be hid- den. Unlike most teachers, Mr. Lee does not try to catch a student at what he does not remember, but helps to insure that he does remember what is important. The material to be learned is offered in forms varying from movies, videos and tapes, to the text book. The way class time is spent is equally unpredictable. Occa- sionally there will be a sleep day, or en- counter groups or an open day, when stu- dents can do anything they want. The grading system, based on quarterly contracts, is also unique. The student makes his own contract by stating what work he will do for the grade he wants. Even after M. Lee has approved the con- tract and the student has started to work on it, it may be changed or altered at any time. The tests, which are known for their difficulty, can be taken twice. Yes, that's right, twice!! And only the higher score is counted. This is another one of Mr. Lees' ways of making sure the students have every opportunity to learn. Mr. Lee is a self-confessed workaholic who stated, Nothing I can think of consumes and uses me as much as teaching psychology. Turner, Frances Business Ulvedal.

Mr. Bell, the last of the Latin teachers. Mr. Bell keeps his students constantly prepared for every test with subitos. Sub- itos, or commonly known to the English speaking world as quizzes, are a favorite of Mr. Bell. A little red plastic shuffler is brought out of his desk everyday, he turns the handle, and out comes a number. Fingers crossed and blood pressure 190 over 100, the class waits. The same ques- tion rips through everyone's head, Is he going to call my number today? As the fateful number is proclaimed, a sigh of relief is heaved from every student in the room, every student except one. The un- fortunate soul rises in a shroud of silence and recites the previous night's memoriza- tion for a grade. Does a quiz a day pay off? Yes, re- plied one Latin student, I learn the mate- rial when I am expected to be able to be quizzed on it the following day. Mr. Bell usually helps his students out on their homework assignments, which are used as subitos the following day. When temperatures drop below 38°, Mr. Bell stops riding his bike to school. Yes, that's right — his bike. Mr. Bell is one of the few teachers who stays in good health, beats high gas prices and still arrives here at Yorktown promptly at seven, every morning. Mr. Bells' sense of humor and the way he treats his students make for a very fun class. It is one which a student can look forward to.

When people talk about sports in the metro area, these are the com- mon household names brought up. Yes, the Redskins, our almighty football team, have made it to the Super Bowl once. The Bullets' very own fat lady sang the opera heard all over the country. The Capitals have also made a name for themselves: BAD! But when peo- ple resort to in-depth conversa- tion about the long since de- funct Senators, now that's just going too far. When sports buffs in our hum- ble unheard of Arlington have worn out their voices talking ab- out the professional athletes A A , yft w '( CraxJ U ck Va n.(f that are around, they generally will turn to the topic of area col- lege athletics: Terrapins foot- ball, Terrapins basketball. Georgetown basketball, GMU soccer — the list goes on un- endingly. After thoroughly going over the topic of area college sports, the conversation is then politely ended. Q. What is that everybody's overlooking? A. High school sports. Most people don't realize that the metro area has some of the best high school sports around. There seems to be a certain group of people who do realize what high school sports is all ab- out. Sure, all of them are aware of the professional teams in the area. Even though they all have their favorite professional and college teams, the athletics that they support wholeheartedly is Yorktown athletics. Yes, you guessed it, these certain people are the student population at Yorktown High School. Ycxktown sports are a very im- portant part of every student's life. If you're an athlete, it's a way to show off your talents and skills to all your peers, and at the same time do it for your school. There is a certain feeling our athletes get when they step out to represent their school. Only an athlete can explain it. Then there is the second facet of our athletic program which cannot be overlooked: The Yorktown Fan. The typical Yorktown fan on a Friday night; red eyes, red cheeks, loud voice, clapping hands, stomping feet, allergic to staying in the stands, unable to refrain from profanity, bruised face and hands accompanied by stiffness in the joints and hoarseness on Saturday and Mark and Steve blowing fire at him the following Monday. Af- ter a long week at school there seems to be nothing better than a sporting event to get all these frustrations out. All things are for- gotten: the quiz you failed, the test you failed, the exam you failed, and yes, even the class you failed. Are sports the solution to all problems? Maybe not. But whether on a professional, col- legiate or high school level, sports are a large part of every- one's life. Sports Divider 127 -i After Hours A comparative look at the trophy cases exhibiting York- town's academic and athletic j achievements makes it obvious that in our school the former out- weighs the latter. Scanning through the sports section of a local newspaper, schools like A Annandale or Woodson seem to be grabbing the headlines with their back-to-back District and Region titles. The fact is, Yorktown is just not a traditional I area sports power. That is not to say that we don't have our strong teams. Why, a state champion tennis team and a regionally competitive basket- ball team are not small boasts. But for every successful team Yorktown fields, there are a few others that don't fare quite as well. It's rare that a Yorktown athlete finds himself or herself in the statistical leaders of The Washington Post. You can blame it on our comparatively minute enrollment or you can attribute it to the common pre- cedence that academics have taken. Why do they do it? Why do the representatives of York- town athletics subject them- selves to the punishment they endure when most of the atten- tion is focused elsewhere? It seems our athletic programs are most admirable com- cemed primarily with participa- tion and effort. Advanced in- struction and coaching is readi- ly available by very competent couaches for those advanced enough to require it. But more importantly, the encourage- ment is there for the less than spectacular athlete. Its for this reason that we take a special look at our Patriot Athletes. Here, then is a tribute to Yorktown's best: the Patriots of Yorktown. When the going gets tough. Harsh winter conditions force athletes to do the best they can with the school's indoor facili- ties. Here, Brian Peterson en- dures the heat of the deserted halls. 128 After Hours Instructional Training. That's the story here. Most of York- town's coaches are known for their wisdom in the classroom as well as out on the field. Mr. Smith, Dot Dunbar, and Dea Smith all offer advice to their team members during a prac- tice session. The grind of it all is summed up in the words of one after-hour athlete: I don't know why I keep going. It's a lot of hard work and it has to come from deep down inside. I guess that's what they mean when they say No pain, no gain . After Hours 129 Heavy Metal Though Yorktown's weight room is far from the likes of a luxurious health spa, it has ev- erything necessary to thorough- ly strengthen an athlete. The dungeon sees regulars every- day. Whether a hopeful for next year's football team or a beach bum working out for vanity's sake, they're all there and all it takes is a little dedication and a lot of hard work. 130 After Hours StretchirT Out There's no use havin' muscles if they're all tied up. These athlete's show the importance of loosening up before they do their thing. Pre-game warm-ups are an important ritual that players customarily go through to prepare mentally and physi- cally. After Hours 131 0 C, 0° Erratic Season Reflects Small Turnout The 4 and 6 record that the Pats' Varsity squad achieved is a poor statistic to base the team's performance on. York- town's small enrollment has cut a lot of things from the school's program—football players are no exception. On the average, the players were outnumbered two to one. Injuries also took | their toll on the team's season. I Key players Gary West, John Hart, Matt Ramsey, Henry Stew- art, Kenny James, George Ross and Mike O'Dea were all forced out of many games and forced to play hurt in many others. Despite the many setbacks hindering them, the team per- formed outstandingly well. The season kicked off against Wakefield, and the Yorktown OUTNUMBERED BUT RARELY OUTPLAYED. The Varsity squad gets ready for their W-L con- frontation. They are: Front Row: Chris Binkley, Robert Brasse, Kenny James, Mike Neal, Joey defense stifled the Warriors' attack in front of a spirited stu- dent body the weekend before school's first day. Chris Johnson, a sophomore, blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety and the season's first points. Garth Erodossy pushed over from the one while John Hart showed his swiftness of foot, scoring on a thirty-yard run. Head coach, Tony Romasco and his staff selected John Hart and Mike O'Dea for player of the week honors in the team's 16-0 shut-out. The next week, Yorktown was on the road for a disappoint- ment as mammoth Highlander, Eric Dorsey, led McLean over the team, 23-0. Costly turnovers and the inability to convert on their opportunities made York- Nolan, Garth Erdossy, Paul Timpane, Henry Stewart, Chris Miegs. Middle Row: Gary West, Eric Piecha, John Hart, Tommy Garrett, Jim Mountain, Ricky Robinson, Mark Layton. Back town a victim of their own mis- takes, losing to the previous year's District Champs. Punter, Joey Nolan and defensive back Daryl Collins were chosen for the weekly player honors for crucial punting and tackling. Week three brought Alexan- dria's Fort Hunt to Patriot Sta- dium ranked in the area's top ten by The Washington Post. Host Yorktown looked as though they had learned from their pre- vious week's mistakes, and got on the board first with a fine offensive attack capped off with a one-yard Hart touch- down. The team fought hard throughout the game, but an in- opportune turnover dealt a cru- cial blow to the Pats' come- back after a long punt return set up a visiting touchdown. Really Row: Billy Reed, George Ross, Mike O'Dea, Chris Johnson, Danny Sweeney, Kirk Lowery, John Conway, Daryl Collins. Not Pictured: Brad Dean, Matt Ram- sey, Kevin Wright. a well-played game, the out- numbered Varsity team went down 15-7 as John Hart and Kenny James were saluted for their running and defensive efforts. Henry Stewart shows a look of de- termination as he returns a kick-off. Varsity Football M 33 -3 Upset Over Madison Highlights Season By the fourth week at Langley, injuries had decreased York- town's roster in significant areas. Despite this, the Pats met the Saxons head-on. edging out a 6-0 win. Penalties contributed greatly in this contest, for the only thing that saved the host Langley squad from a rout were two Yorktown touchdowns which were called back; John Hart rounded the comer on a sweep and raced goalward for the game's only score. The de- fensive unit stunned a late Lang- ley rally spurred on by the en- thusiastic traveling support of the Patriots' dedicated fans. Captains Garth Erdossy and Henry Stewart were chosen as outstanding players in the Pa- triots' second win. The mid-way point of the sea- son proved to be one of the most rewarding for Yorktown, as District favorites and Northern Region power Madison High School sent their Warhawks to North Arlington. Madison opened the scoring with a field goal from thirty-eight yards ear- ly in the first quarter. The defense pulled out all the stops, though, and the game remained a close 3-0 well into the fourth quarter. Then John Conway made a key interception and suddenly the offense came alive. All-purpose Henry Stewart took quarterback Garth Erdos- sy's Statue of Liberty handoff around the end for a healthy gain to the three. John Hart got the call and powered over the goal line; bedlem arose. A timely interception by Erdossy gave Yorktown the ball and clinched one of the biggest up- sets of the year, knocking the Warhawks from the Post’s top twenty. Hart, James and John Conway represented the team's stunning performance as outstanding players. Unfortunately, Yorktown seemed flat the next week at Marshall for the host's home- coming. A second half touch- down gave the visiting Patriots a 6-3 lead after Nolan's extra point failed. The offense valiant- ly surged forward, but untimely penalties set them back. Finally, a late fumble deep in the Patriot end of the field gave the States- men ideal field position, scoring the go-ahead touchdown. The Pats went down, 9-6. George Ross, Jum Mountain and Chris Meigs were bright spots, and they became the Coaches' selections for players of the week. Game seven saw a hard- hitting Herndon football team come to Yorktown. The Patriots just could not urge a stagnant and injury-hampered unit for- ward. The team took a hard loss, 27-6. Among the few bright spots were Garth Erdossy and Mike O'Dea, who were selected as the sixth game's weekly most valuable players. October 23rd saw a quag- mire for a homecoming game, matching rival O'Connell against the host Patriots. The Knights got on the board quick- ly as their first series went over the goal line for a 7-0 score. The field took its effect on the teams' offensive units as the game re- mained the same for two quar- ters. Yorktown could only muster a thirty-yard field goal by Joey Nolan for their only score as penalties again thwarted the last efforts for a rally. A dis- appointing homecoming game produced Kenny James and Mark Layton for the week's outstanding players. District-winning candidates South Lakes Seahawks of Reston played host to the now 3 and 5 Yorktown squad for week nine. The Pats took the opening kick- off and marched to the South Lakes ten where a stubborn Seahawk defense stopped them cold. Joey Nolan was called on for a twenty-seven yard chip shot and a 3-0 lead. South Lakes answered on their first offensive play as, thousand- yard rusher, Ted Carpenter, ran through the visiting secondary for a touchdown. From then on it was all South Lakes until York- town pulled off a trick pass play to Chris Meigs that was good for a sixty-seven yard touchdown. That was all for Yorktown, as the familiar scene of what seemed like unlimited opposing player, denied any hope of a come- back. John Hart and Mike O'Dea were chosen for valu- able player selections in the 27- 9 loss. The final week posed a diffi- cult challenge for the Patriots With great blocking from George Ross and encouragement from split end Billy Reed (85), Junior fullback John Hart can't lose. Here, Hart barrels over from the one for the winning touchdown against Madison. who were the losers of four straight games. For vicious cross- town rivals, the W-L Generals had been red hot, upsetting both McLean and Marshall and had come North to face a Pa- triot squad of but twenly-one. The game always means quite a bit to players and spectators alike who have grown up with their W-L neighbors. Fortunately, perfect football weather was in store for the last game. Both offenses failed to pro- duce as General quarteiback Jim Daly found Mike O'Dea. Gary West. Chris Binkley, Kirk Lowery, and Mark Layton a handful, while secondary play- ers Henry Stewart, Daryl Collins and Kenny James shut down Daly's deadly arm. Hard-hitting George Ross was helped out by John Conway and Garth Erdos- sy. Erdossy, however, who was also at the helm of quarterback, wasn't able to pass well either and was intercepted. In second half action though, Paul Tim- pane picked off a pass and re- turned it to the fifteen. 134 Varsity Football Garth Erdossy drops back to pass with protection from Chris Binkley, George Ross, and Eric Piecha.

With the fans still celebrating, the Generals were denied a run- back and Daly led the blue and grey's offense on once more. Erdossy stepped in front of a ten- yard pass and returned it deep into General territory. From there, the reliable James and Hart carried the ball forward un- til Hart ran for five yards and a touchdown. Nolan converted on the point afterward with the hold from Stewart, making the score 10-0. The Generals again were denied a runback on a deep Nolan kick-off, and the solid defense completely shut down any glimpse of a General comeback. O'Dean Erdossy, Stewart, James and Collins were significant factors and were named for the game's players. The fine effort that was made is due mostly to the athletic abil- ity making up for weaknesses. A poor passing game was made up by a sound running attack, and the lack of players was countered by the number of ex- perienced players, who played both defense and offense. In retrospect, the Varsity squad did well with the amount of players that remained from the trying season which began in August and ended in Novem- ber. The squad received praise for their efforts by opposing coaches, as thirteen of the play- ers (over half the team) re- ceived official honors. The amazing dedication of the stu- dent body's support also con- tributed greatly to a season Yorktown may be proud of.

The Yorktown Pep Squad is in it's first year of existences. The desperately needed squad, consisting of eight hard-working girls, was formed in early September in order to aid the cheerleaders and drill team. They follow along with cheers and performs similar routines with the drill team while remain- ing in the stands. During football season these girls have had to practice in correlation with the drill team, band and the cheer- leaders. During football games the bitterly cold. Friday nights of the fall their voices were con- stantly heard; chanting along with the cheerleaders, instilling pep squad's and spirit in the stu- dent body. Unlike the cheer- leaders, the pep squad's goal is to increase spirit at sports enter events by cheering in and with the crowd, not by performing in front of it. Drill Team: 1st row — Contije McLain.

Cheerleaders Strive For Greater Spirit What used to be nine, is now sixteen, due to an increased effort in spurting crowd parti- cipation, holstering school spirit, and, of course, cheering Patri- ot teams to victory. After under- going the seven member incre- ment, the varsity cheerleading squad became the first sixteen member squad in our history. The larger size of the squad allowed it to form two divisions, A , and “B to help cover over- lapping events. But whether or not an A member or a “B member, cheerleading was never (an easy feat) During games cheerleaders stood in front of 600 people and tried to get them to yell thing like Let's go Patriots! , Beat 'em , or Hold 'em defense . But they found that the crowd would rather yell We're Having a Par- ty , Nuts and Bolts ... , Bull ... , or spell out profanities. Yorktown fans seemed to want to yell forthe Blues Brothers more than for their own football team. Yes, this behavior was typical of Yorktown's attitude toward the pleas of their sixteen varsity cheerleaders for crowd support. Performing, besides leading the crowd in cheers, is a large part of cheerleading. During each game the cheerleaders had to perform Hello cheers and do tricky pyramids, stunts, and jumps. After many grueling hours of practice and many sore, tired muscles these feats were perfected. Cheerleaders also made spirit signs for the school, sold programs before football games, sold adds for the programs and sold tickets to sports events during their lunch period. Between football and basket- ball seasons the cheerleaders had to attend a sportsmanship and spirit clinic hosted by York- town on November 19. This clinic was held to teach the cheer- leaders how to lead the crowd in cheers and what to do in case the crowd got too spirited or totally out of hand. All of the varsity cheerleaders in the Great Falls District attended. The cheerleaders met each other, and the principals of the other schools. This tremendously prepared the girls for basketball season. Being a varsity cheerleader is not the luxurious status symbol that many believe it to be. Cheerleding is very time con- suming and it is not always en- joyable. Many take cheerlead- ing for granted; instead, York- towners should commend their sixteen varsity cheerleaders on their year of diligent work. THE FIRST 16 MEMBER CHEERLEADER SQUAD.

These girls are from differ- ent intermediate schools and usually do not know each other. This was also true with this year's freshman cheerleading squad, but by their first game they had become friends and were more accustomed to cheering with each other as a squad and not as individuals. The girls worked well together and this was proven to all who attended the freshman sports events. The cheerleaders, like the other squads, also sold programs and made signs to support their freshman teams. For eleven girls who were totally unfamiliar with each other at the beginning of the summer, they sure did a terrific job of pul I - ing together and becoming a team. The junior varsity cheerlead- ing squad consisted of eleven diligent and enthusiastic junior and sophomore girls. These girls practiced long and hard from July through March, and their tal- ents were deeply appreciated at all J.V. soccer, football, bas- ketball games, and wrestling matches. The girls like the varsity squad, awoke at 7:30 a.m. two days a week during the summer and practiced cheers, prepar- ing for the games ahead. They proved to be a very able and talented squad.

Unfortu- nately, the team had an upset- ting preseason, winning none of their matches and lowering their expectations. However, the girls drilled in practice and im- proved greatly. Impressive vic- tories over Marshall and McLean reflected this as the team won over both, 9-0. In closer matches against Madison and South Lakes, the Pats showed great character, winning the competition in the final match- es. The team finished with a 4-3 record and a winning season. The team proved to be a talented group of players, with the majority of it consist- ing of returning players. The addition of freshman Christina Filipescue more than ade- quately filled the number two slot. In postseason play, York- town sent number one doubles team, Jolie DePauw and Laura Filipescu, to Districts, who won the tournament and advanced to Regional semi-finals.

The boy's team, although very young, managed to finish with an exceptional winning record of 5 wins and 2 losses. The girl's team, also comprised of many young runners, en- ded the season with an im- proved 2 and 5 record. Both teams ran in invitational and county meets. The boys' teams started the season winning big in the first five meets. After a crushing first win over Marshall, the boys beat crosstown rivals W-L, and trounced Langely. Freshman Jeff Gerber and sophomore Matt Burdetsky provided an outstanding young threat in their indi- vidual performances. For the girl's team, Kelli Schiffer, Kathryn Demarest, and Bar- bie Burton all played a major part in the group's improve- ment. Sophomore Charlene Burstrom, after setting a course record at Bluemont Park, sustained an injury and sat out most of the season.

Girls show their superiority As always, the Indoor Track Team was composed of very few members; however, the team finished extremely well considering this handicap. The girls' team finished third in Dis- tricts, 9th in Regionals, and 7th in State. This year the first state meet was held at V.M.I. in Lex- ington. The girls 800 m relay team set a new school record and placed 9th overall at the meet. Charlene Burstrom placed first in the 3200m run, setting a state record as well as a new school record. Other fine finishers were Carol Vogt, plac- ing 3rd in high jump and Kath- leen Palmes, placing 6th in the 500m run. The boys' team also had a very successful season. At the District meet Danny Redmond placed third in the 500m run. Vincent Burger placed second in hurdles, third in triple jump, and third in the 300m run.

Indoor Track 145 Unlucky Goalposts Hau The soccer team has always been a bright spot in Yorktown's sports program. It was especial- ly disappointing when a promis- ing season ended with a mediocre record of 4-5-3. Though marked by individual talent, the team's major prob- lem was the lack of scoring throughout the season. The Pats had a fantastic midfield game, but were regulary inconsistent on offense, hitting the post numerous times and missing many chances. Outstanding games in which the Patriots gave their best per- formances were against St. John's where the Patriots domi- nated and ended with a 1 -0 win. After a 3-0 loss to O'Connell for Yorktowns first game, the Pats came back to play them again, improving in scoring but losing 4-3 in a double-overtime. For the second time or the sea- son, the game against arch- rival W-L was well played de- fensively. The game was won on a goal scored in the second overtime period. The best game all around was the first round of the WMISL tournament against DeMatha. Yorktown dominated the whole game with a 3-1 win. The two hard losses, in the WMISL tournament, against ri- vals W-L and O'Connell, signaled for the Varsity team though they did salvage a fourth place showing in the tournament. After a discouraging season that be- gan with high hopes, the York- town Patriots placed fifth in the league out of ten teams.

Their first game against the rival ended suc- cessfully with a 2 to 1 score, with the goals made by Bruce Walch and Chris McPhaul aided by Henry Harrison and Chris Dale. The strong defensive play prevented further scoring by the W-L team. The team's second game was hard fought, but Yorktown just could not pull it off. Concluding with a score of 3-2, the team's only goals were scored by Bruce Walch and Haitham Halteh. The Pats' greatest victory was over Gonzaga with a 4 to 0 score. The team completely dominated the game with goals scored by Henry Harrison, Carlos Enhalar, Andrew McLauchlin, and Steven Palmes. The entire season appeared to be frustrating and inconsis- tent.

The Ip was a potent force in Yorktown's offensive game. What a year it was! After a slow start with high expecta- tions, Jim Price's Varsity squad rallied to a 16-8 overall record, taking second place in the Dis- trict. Again this year, the Sea- hawks from Reston's South Lakes were the lone team that stood between not only the District ti- tle, but the tournament cham- pionship as well. Yorktown had more than it's share of talent as three of the players led the Northern Region in the top twenty scorers. Out- standing size was yet another added advantage, as four of the five players on the court were over six feet tall. Coach Price's squad got their act together after a slow start, and put together two long win- ning streaks which were frus- trated by one or two point losses to South Lakes. In regular season play, the Patriots punished teams like Marshall and Madi- son, while McLean and Langley offered little competition. Again this year, Yorktown's crowd support was an inspi- rational force. The infamous section I rocked opposing teams out of the gymnasium, and often shook visiting arenas. Opposing players knew they would be in for a heckling, not to mention harassment from 100 standing coaches. When in trouble, the Pats could always turn to their bench which provided the extra punch that was often needed. Support was also found from the bench when players needed a rest. A frustrating loss to Wakefield ended a successful season all too soon, as hopes for a Region- al win and State bid were dashed. Yorktown, however, again established itself as a Re- gional basketball power and were never easy to match. Varsity Basketball, 151 152 Varsity Basketball Crashing the Boards.

The Junior Varsity Basketball team broke even with a 9 wins and 9 losses season, but the record belies their accomplishment, and the team played better than the final tally shows. At the beginning of the Pat's season Coach Phillip's hoped for more wins than losses. He felt the season would prove to be good but unfortunately was wrapped up with a disappointing 3 losses at the sea- son's end. Two of the most exciting and in- spiring games were the defeats against South Lakes and Marshall, South Lakes had a good lead. But through hard work and together- ness the Pat's squeezed out an ex- citing four point win, setting off stretch of four wins in a row.

Boys 8asketball up an even season, against Marshall was another cliff-hanger that ended with the Pat's topping the opponent by a close 4 points. Again the team hung together, after many of first string were either fouled out or injured. The season did have key indi- viduals but on a whole the strong point was that everyone worked consistently together. They lacked height but this did not stop them from helping one another to make the best of the season. This year's Junior Varsity players proved to be a fine team whose players should continue on to varsity next year. This year's Freshman boys' basketball team, under the direction of Coach Dave Wil- liams, had an erratic season winning three of their first four games and six of their last eight. These last six wins were won by a total of 44 points, including a 63-43 crush of McLean to end the season and a 60-54 victory over county rival W-L. However, they lost four straight games in between their winning streaks. Despite this midseason slump, the Patriots managed a strong 9-7 record that does not suc- ceed in showing the up and coming strength of this young team. Led by captains Charles Venable, Tony Young, and San- dy Mueller, they project a prom- ising future for Yorktown basket- ball. YHS OPPONENT 34 Wakefield 37 52 Herndon 39 47 S.

Howev- er, after the beginning of the new year, the team, led by junior Stacie Ross and sopho- more Julie Depauw, won five games and suffered some very close losses. Throughout the year, the girls showed great im- provement. They worked well together, but Pat McKnight commented, We still have a great deal to learn To prepare for next year's basketball sea- son, the girls are going to play together in a summer league program. All of the girls are re- turning to play next year; there were no graduating seniors on the team this year. With summer and fall practices to aid the girls, the 1983 season looks ex- tremely promising. Superstars Stacy Ross and Jolie Depauw led the team in scoring. Stacie was the eigh- teenth highest scorer in the Northern Virginia region, aver- aging 13.1 points per game and Jolie was among the top 50 leading scorers in the region. The Junior Varsity basketball team did not have a strong sea- son either. The girls could not adequately compete against the larger basketball teams in the district; the J.V. team this season had only seven mem- bers. The starting five could not be substituted for regularily, and playing four quarters of con- tinuous basketball is even diffi- cult for the very best. The team spent most of Ihe season improv- ing techniques and skills. Please go in!

The team owes its depth and strength to the great range in age and ability of its swimmers, with new- comers developing skills quick- ly. Plus, a large percentage of the team has had some experi- ence with swimming at such outstanding local clubs as Overlee, Dominion Hill, Fun and Fitness, and Starlit. This season, as in past seasons, the female turnout was almost twice as great as the male; nonetheless, the team was united and together strived for victory.

Dive tsfcf Another fine season The wrestling team, led by Juniors Steve Herrlein, Mike O'Dea and Billy Grove, per- formed admirably throughout the season, ending with a 10-2 record. Herrlein, one of two captains, placed first in the dis- trict, third in the region, and then hit his peak form placing second in the state. O'Dea placed second in the district, and went on to take second in the region. Grove also placed first in the district, ending a two- year jinx in the finals. All three wrestlers will return next year for their senior campaigns on the mats. At one time during the season the team was 5-0 with a Christ- mas tournament win under their belts. Then, harder times hit as they lost two matches in a row to district opponents. There was a feeling of high hopes, however, as they entered the district tournament, hopes that the team would win the District Championship for the second year in a row. As the tournament ran into its final stages, a lack of depth was evident; dishearten- ing losses and injuries also proved a detriment. At the end of the tournament, they had earned fifth place in the district. Next year's team looks ex- tremely promising, as they are losing only two lettermen while ten are returning for another go 'round. YHS OPPONENT 49 Wakefield 12 60 T.C.

The team was greatly undermanned and often was forced to forfeit 6 to 7 matches. Taking this into con- sideration the team performed well and with tremendous char- acter. Their final record was 3-8. The high point of their season was their match against Groveton in which they won 34- 33, while forfeiting three match- es. Standouts on the team were Steve Bardsley at 145 lbs. Gal- lagher at 98 lbs., Duenas at 112 lbs. and Dailey at 126 lbs. 162 J.V. Wrestling The girls gymnastics team had one of its most successful seasons in recent years. Return- ing to competition this year were senior, Cathy Crowder and junior, Cathy Druffel, who could not compete at the close of last year's season due to in- juries. Leading the team in all of the tournaments, dual, and indi- vidual meets, was senior Deb- bie Means who has com- peted all-around (which means that she performs on uneven bars, balance beam, vault, and floor exercise) for the past four years. Cathy Crowder com- peted in the all-around cate- gory also. Chris Day, the remain- ing senior, specialized in floor exercise this season. Since the 1982 team was un- usually large and skilled for Yorktown, the additional gym- nasts were able to remove some of the pressure that is impressed on the all-around gymnasts. These girls were able to specialize in one or two events. Sophomore, Joann Skin- ner competed on floor exercise, beam, and vault. Ellen Miller, another sophomore, competed in the floor exercise category. Freshmen Lisa Exley, Mary Kay Nassetta, Evie Means, and Kelly Linehan also added strength to the team. Seven gymnasts are expected to return and com- pete for Yorktown in 1983 and consequently the outlook for next year also seems to be very promising.

Girls Gymnastics 163 You have to see it to believe it! Though much of the audi- ence participation was sup- pressed by faculty rules and regulations, the student body patriotically found alternative means of expressing the true Yorktown spirit. For the first time, football games acquired the traditional basketball cheering section. Fans came to the games ready to chant familiar cheers and dance to upbeat tunes of the Blues Brother's theme. Rock Salt, and various other melodies pro- vided by the marching band. Another first was the addition of male cheerleaders to the final game of the football season. These males practiced long and hard with the female cheerleaders to achieve and added acrobatic effect to the normal cheering routine. Pep rallies also obtained a high degree of enthusiastic par- ticipation. Numerous spirit com- petitions were held between the individual classes. The biggest rivalry stood between the rowdy seniors and the determined juniors. Though the juniors initial- ly won the primary spirit com- petition, the seniors continued to assert their dominance. Class involvement ranged from the less self-expressed cheers of the freshmen to the outrageous antics of the seniors. The Yorktown spirit is difficult to conceive of unless one attends the various athletic events. Senior Randy Menefee gives it his all at a pep rally. Despite the winter chili, loyal football fans energetically support their team. Sock-swinger Randy Ayers holds onto his hat as the basketball team blows Jeb Stuart away.

We're surrounded by what is easily the most im- portant hustling and bustling in the world — and in order for this city to function, it needs organizations. So in Rome you do as the Romans do, and in order to make our own mark here at Yorktown — we organize. For something to do on the weekend, a party to go to on a Saturday night, a chance to mingle with different faces, or to have something impressive to slap down on the old high school record, orga- nizations were our answer. Alpha, Kappa, Stellae, Zeta, and Key Club were the hub of the social wheel. As well as hosting some of the rowdiest celebrations to be found after a long hard week in February, they sponsored food drives, sold coloring books, deco- rated nursing homes, for Christmas, ushered at drama productions, raked leaves for the elderly, sponsored spirit chain contest , delivered Christmas- Grams sold footoall programs, and had those much-loved 2:00 bake sales. For those who preferred the delights of international gluttony, language clubs met every month to pass around the Buche de Noel, smack at the Pinoitta, or hoist the beer steins. They also helped out with the international dinner held in March by submitting a platter of exotic dishes and by transforming the cafeteria into quadri-cultured world in the language decorations contest (the Romans, Fran- cos, Spanish and Germans each took a comer). The Young Democrats and Teenage Republicans fostered activities on the political front. Aside from supporting the State and National Democratic Party in the elections, the Young Democrats showed their activist spirit in Phone Banks and Marketing, capping their activities off with a series of basketball games with the Teenage Republicans. For those who preferred to mix with those of the same hobbies, like playing Dungeons and Dragons, or horsebackrid- ing, Covenant of the Hexagram and the Equitation club were likely forums for these interests. Wherever your interests maybe, in what- ever social circles you may turn, York- town's lengthy list of clubs and honor societies have something for you. Not only so they provide that necessary boost when the books and papers begin to pile up, they help keep Yorktown students and interesting and diversified group. There are always new people to meet and new activities to try. Clubs Divider 167 Saddling up and tumbling over Two of the most popular athletic clubs at Yorktown are those for gymnasts and horseback riders. Both the Gymnasts and Equitation club have enjoyed an active and successful year. The Gymnastics club is open to all stu- dents who are interested in improving their skills on the mat and bars. Many of the members also are part of the Gymnastics team, although this is not a requirement in joining the club. During the year, the club was involved in many different activities. In November, they sponsored the Danish Gymnastics team. The Danes performed at Yorktown on the 11th and were well received. The club performed at some of the bas- ketball games and at several elementary schools in the area. The highlight of the year came in May when the club put on their annual Magic Circus. It was a terrific exhibition of individual and group routines. This is the first year that Yorktown has had an Equitation club. In the past, there was an equestrian club, but it disbanded a few years ago. The club came roaring back this year, boasting a large mem- bership of eager horse lovers. The club sponsored Fall trail rides as well as a full moon hayride at Parkview stables in December. Members strongly supported bake sales which raised money to help pay for the often high costs of the activities. Spring activities included an overnight horseback riding camping trip and a club-sponsored horse show. The Equitation club looks to be around for many years to come.

Do you enjoy having only two hours of sleep a night, playing quarters with chew- ing tobacco, lounging in long underwear or skiing? If you answer yes to any of these questions, the Ski Club is ideal for you. The ski club is known for its fantastic trips, its variety of fun and rowdy people, and, of course, for the skiing. This winter season, the ski club has managed to plan numerous ski trips ranging from day trips and weekend trips to the annual Christ- mas trip to Smuggler's Notch in Vermont. All the fun begins on a chartered bus. The ski trippers get better acquainted by sharing food, beverages and music. When the destination is reached, the real adventures start. To begin with, it must be understood that there are two groups. There are the old pros and the awk- ward novices ; the difference is obvious. The novice can usually be found inching down the slope, zig-zagging back and forth to avoid ice patches. The old pro can best be identified by a flash of ski jacket, heading straight down the mountain and doing aerial stunts over moguls. The in- tersection of these two paths usually ends in a pile of two oodies, four poles, and no skis (the skis are in the woods, of course)! Ski Club Al Schandelbauer insists that he is just taking a breather. The bus ride proves to be entertaining. Here. Jenny Hooper serenades the passengers with her brush- microphone.

New couples form and break up and new fun games are in- vented. When Mr. Mountain announced very clearly that no alcoholic beverages or drugs were allowed, some of more im- aginative students organized a quarter game with chewing tobacco. Other amused themselves by putting a smelly trash bag in the bathroom, or smoking cigars. Depending on where the ski trip was, the hangouts included playing Pac- Man at the Yacht Club, wandering around the grocery store, eating at truck stops and Bruno's Pizzeria (a few students tried to get into the strip joint across the street). They ski all day, party all night, and don't tire out until they return home. But you don't have to be an expert skier or know how to do aerial tricks to join the ski club, all you need is the ability to have a good time and the desire to hit the slopes. That just about sums it up — being on active member of the club means having a great time. With a promise like that, it's no wonder the ski club is one of the largest and most popular clubs at Yorktown. The ski club officers and the sponsor, Mr. Mountain, have done a superior job of organizing the over eighty members. To raise money for their expensive pastime, the club members raffled off a cord of firewood, sold candy bars, and partici- pated in the ski swap. So join the Ski Club and break a leg! Smiling Susie laughs at the thought of only having two hours of sleep. An Interesting trio What could be on their minds? Some wild and crazy guys — Is Bruce dll right? Bruce shows his wonderful sense of bolance. Snow bunnies gather around before their fun be- gins. Pham wonders who the funny guy is who just stole his ski pants. Ski Club 173 A Donkey or an Elephant? The campaign is on! But who shall you vote for, the Republican or the Demo- crat? Not only are the candidates them- selves trying to tell you who to vote for, but many students at Yorktown may try to influ- ence your decision also. The reason is this: Yorktown has become more politically in- volved since the formation of both a Teen- age Republican and a Young Democra- tic Clubs. The Teenage Republicans are in their second year of politicking and have suc- cessfully continued to keep in close con- tact with the National Republican party. The 20 club members also work closely with the National Teenage Republican Directors, Barbie Wells and Jason Turner. In addition, the Teenage Republicans strive to prove the verity of their own motto: Elephantus surrevit! In comparison, the Young Democrats have also kept in touch with their parly's candidates and as a result, have had Jim Almond and other speakers come to talk to their members. During the campaign, the Young Democrats did work for the various candi- dates. Collectively they worked at the Mass meeting where they registered and assisted voters and counted ballots. Later in the year they worked on the state-wide Democratic ticket phone bank that involved a telephone call to every registered Democrat to remind them to vote with their party's ticket. The club was founded its involvement on local and state politics. In addition national issues are often discussed at meetings. To keep the club active during the non- election month the Teenage Republi- cans, under the leadership of Champ De- Lashmutt, challenged the Young Demo- crats to a basketball game. The club also performed service projects to help their community and school. The Yorktown Pat- riots may all be united, but when it comes to politics the clubs are still divided!

The tour of the club's spectrum of activities began with initiations. “Big Sisters were out to make it a day to remember for their “little sisters . The newest Kuties will remember that night everytime someone mentions late night calisthentics, early morning jogs, freezing water balloons and abuse. But the new experiences did not end after that day. The first stop was at Fritz- be's. Kappa kept this Fritzbe dinner tradi- tion going with a select group of members caravaning to dinner to enjoy food, laughter, and popcorn fights. The next major stop on the 1981 road was at the annual sale of spirit chains. The Seniors took advantage of the class com- petition and contributed the majority of the $300 Kappa raised for the local Ronald McDonald House. The yards of paper chain that resulted from the sale stretched many times across the gym at the final football pep rally of the season. Before Kappa moved into the Christmas season, they had time to bake for various occasions. Prodigious amounts of brow- nies appeared, but the exotic bakers also came through, showing true creativity and talent. The bake sales made big bucks and the treasury welcomed it with open arms. During the holidays Kappa held the annual Alumni Tea, Christmas Potluck, and Christmas party. Kuties also helped Yorktowners send Christmas cheer to friends, teachers, and secret pals, by sell- ing Christmas-grams of red and green cards and candy canes or chocolate Santas. 1982 marked Kappa's first visit to the elderly with the Animal Welfare League's Nursing Home-Pet Therapy Program. Monthly, Kuties quickly moved on to plan- ning for a new schoolwide event, Sub- Night. Before a winter home basketball game. Kappa prepared subs in the cafeteria for Yorktowners. The pep band provided entertainment while Sub-Night provided socializing and good food for students and profits for Kappa. The cross country, wrestling, baseball and tennis teams were not left off Kappa's itinerary. Locker signs, baked goods, din- ners, and parties encouraged team members and acknowledged their suc- cess. The Kuties also erected creative bul- letin boards in the teams' honor. Kappa's final major fund raiser of the year came with the first day of Spring. Unsuspecting students received bright carnations, in the form of flower-grams, to prepare them for upcoming “Spring Fever . Kappa ended its year-long venture with honorary roses for Senior Kuties. Kappa has reached the end of a long yet excit- ing road. Kappa has never had a year like this one. Yet, Kuties will continue to remember The Kappa Kuties give it their best and smile real nice just like the rest.

Throughout the year the club supports various Varsity teams by providing the players with treats, hanging locker signs and sponsoring din- ners. During the Christmas season Zeta sang at Powhatan Nursing home and fell in love with the grandmas there. So they partici- pated in the Adopt-a-Grandparent program. Towards the end of the year Zeta kept occupied by providing everyone with Kris- py Kreme doughnuts and answering tele- phones at the WETA Telethon. Money was raised with St. Patrick and Easter Grams.

Although they are one of the smallest of the service clubs, Stellae's 21 members have done a large amount of work. Charities are high on the list of activities. The presidents, Kim Mosimann and Kathy Corish, represented them in the Q107 Walk n' Roll . They have also contributed to Cancer Research and the Blind Found- ation. Other important contributions were the decorating of Arlington Hospital on various occasions and helping in the Arlington Recreation Centers. To most Yorktown students, however, the most important Stellae contributions were the Rice Krispy treat sales held by the ramp. The club is an example of the saying, good things come in small pack- ages . Another important club at Yorktown is Alpha. Although its main purpose is to help freshman girls get better ac- quainted, the members also performed many community and school services. Among these were bake sales, visiting and decorating the young adult wing at Arlington Hospital for Thanksgiving, and collecting canned goods for needy Arlington families at Christmas. These two clubs, although small, perform important community services.

The Key Club and the Keyettes have been extremely active in the community. Keyettes is an international service club, with members in many countries including Germany, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Last year, April Dixon of Yorktown was elected international treasured at the Keyette Convention. Every year each Keyette Club is assigned a special fund-raising task. This year York- town club members raised money for the Special Olympics. Other activities were the decoration of the Children's wing at Arlington Hospital at Halloween and the donation of Chrisrmas presents to under privileged children in Alabama and Georgia. The Yorktown Key Club has had one of its most successful years ever. Serving the community and the school. Key Club has been very busy. Over forty members volunteered to help out with the Arlington Kiwanis Oyster Roast and fund-raiser. Another original Key Club project was the collection of over a thousand magazines for distribution at area nursing homes. At Yorktown, Key Club contributed money for Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins re- freshments, ushered for the fall drama pro- duction, and folded thousands of PTA newsletters. Socially, the club keeps its members interested by having parties. The sixty Key Club members have been highly praised for their participation in these services.

(Who cares?) They are the Covenant of the Hexa- gram. Known for their bizarre outlook on life, the Covenant members participate in many strange activities. Members attend science fiction and fantasy conventions in cities up and down the east coast, play wargames like Diplomacy and The Creature That Ate Sheboygan. They have picnics on the Mall, parties on the town, and preppies on the run. The club accepts anyone who can fork up the one hundred and ninety-nine cent dues and initiation consists of the Werewolf Chant: “Even he who is pure of heart and says his prayers at night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright The American Way The good ole red, white and blue will wave its colors in pride when the gradu- ates of the Yorktown Vocational Officer's Training club, and the Future Business Leaders of America and the Distributive Education club of America are sent out into the highly competitive business world of today. The V.O.T. club provides students with vocational training in many fields. The president of the club this year is April Dixon. The Distributive Education club of Amer- ica is composed of 2,400 local chapters. It is a national organization to develop fu- ture leaders in marketing and distribution. The club is designed also, to help in the vocational understanding process, civic consciousness, social intelligence, and leadership development. Future Business Leaders of America at Yorktown are at large; they number 83 members in all and is one of the most populous clubs in school. The F.B.L.A. is a national club with the goal of helping to prepare students for leadership in varied business fields. All of these business clubs have found that their activities have increased busi- ness knowledge as well as provided sup- port to the service of the community. Pro- jects by the respected clubs have been as follows: cookbook sales, competition in state and national competitive events, field trips to the Arlington County Court House, candy sales, Yorktown graduation pom-pom sales, and holiday activities for the needy. Not only will America be proud and prosperous as a result of such capable students but Yorktown will be boosting a bit also to know of the contributions its students have made and will continue to make in the future.

Business Clubs 187 The Old With the New, The Student Government Association has been going strong since the begin- ning of Yorktown's history, and this year has been no exception. The Association was made up of four student representa- tives from each class, plus faculty and administrators who lent their support ot the S.G.A.'s proposed activities. The S.G.A.'s chairman this year was Mary Gibson and their secretary treasurer was Katie Farrell. The S.G.A.'s first major challenge came at the start of the year — Homecoming. The Association sponsored the Oktoberfest (that preceded the Home- coming football game), the game's half- time show, and the Homecoming dance on the following evening. Later in March the S.G.A. sponsored the International Dinner along with the P.T.A. At the close of the 1981-1982 school year, the S.G.A. held a Field Day that included everyone in lots of fun and games. During all these main events the senior members of the S.G.A. have also worked with Underclass officers to compile a Secondary School Commis- sion report that updates the Commission on current student views. An organization that just began to make its mark at Yorktown this year was the Senior Council. The Senior Council was formed to act as an extension of the Senior class officers by helping to decide on, plan, organize, and run the many activi- ties sponsored by the Seniors. The council consisted of thirty members who had volunteered their services the previous spring.

Gumbies Anonymous is the latest addition to Senior Achievement. They have been tremendously successful in their fund raising events. Under the superb guidance of Frau Blucher. the annual unicorn auc- tion made $2001, and the rent- a-coolie service produced another $666.66. All of these funds went to The Movement To Put The Coke Back In Coca- Cola. The magic brownie sales at the ramp, and the poison ivy grams made $269 more for the club. According to Treasuress Mona DeLisa, this amount would go to the club's activity fund. Among the club's favorite activities are the nightly brew hunts, in which one member hides fifteen kegs and the rest of the members spend the follow- ing hours finding and drinking them. Also, they sponsor the weekly co-ed mud wrestling matches. However, the activity for which the Gumbies are best known is the annual lunch-time raffle. This year's grand prize was an all expense paid lunch with Ayatollah Khomeini himself. The lucky winner was the one and only Tex Alex. For next year, it is being discussed that the grand prize will be lunch with Leonid Brezhnev. If he will accept, of course. All in all, the Gumbies are another fun orga- nization at Yorktown. 190 Pictured Washington Lee: President Of Vice Not Pictured Frau Blucher Advisoressor Leslie Duck: President To Fit The Bill Abdul Abibe Achmad Hassan: Sec tariate Mona DeLisa Treasuress Maximillion Schmaltz Oleander Twinklebop Zephod Beeblebrox Arthor Chesterfield Adolf Gregory Gary Indiana Jones Benson Honeydew Bonnie Lass Fernando Guillermo Cesar Nerve Smith Byung Ho Chi Min Fredrick Von Max Sven Ven Svenson Wakelield McCoy Mac McGarrett Dead On Arrival Uncle Bob Gong Mutt Morrison Rimshot Q.

To the faculty members at Yorktown, these may seem like impossible tasks which are heaped on innocent students for amusement: Watch them squirm. However, after surviving a few semesters, the average student learns to sweat, sac- rifice, and panic his way through the gar- gantuan mountain of work that is con- tinuously piling up. The best years of our lives are spent in misery, trying to please our teachers and attain the grades that will ultimately be the key to college admission. The key to success is in pacing one's efforts. Some students thrive on challenge and competition, and it is for these very students that Advanced Placement and Accelerated courses were designed. These courses instruct the student and pre- pare him for the Advanced Placement exam given every spring in various sub- jects. If the student passes the exam, he is exempt from having to take the compara- ble class during his freshman year in col- lege. To augment the regular classroom academic experience, teachers choose some extra thrills. Many vie for the few hr Hby fera'd pH Y buses av ... order to be able to take the! side of the school for o learning experience, frequently called a field trip. It's at times like this, when seeing the products of an era first hand of the National Gallery of Art, or while watch- ing the prose of Shakespeare come to life at Arena Stage, tnat the shadow of Washington seems pretty special. But while we're here to enjoy it, we're here to make the best use of it, for in Washington there's no excuse for not find- ing the answers. Washington, more than any other place in the United States, is a city of living history. When a book is no- where to be found, even at our expansive Media Center or Arlington's library system, a Yorktowner always has one last resort— the original version.

A history take-home test takes on an air of life when actual documents, from the Constitution to the immigration rec- ords of a great, great grandfather, are just a few feet away from each other in the National Archives. For the ambitious A.P biology student who is researching the as- cent of prehistoric man, to the civilization student who is exploring man's achieve- ments once he's hit modem times, the Smithsonian Institution is a perfect source. Still, some teachers choose to take their classes on an in-school field trip. Most commonly, this is a full or half day activity taking place in the auditorium or in one of the lecture rooms. Movies are rented, lec- tures hired, groups brought in to give per- formances. Language classes are famous for their party spirit. It is very often that French, Ger- man, and Spanish students come to school carrying some kind of goody for a fiesta, breakfast, or cheese test. A certain English teacher encouraged her students to put on a Christmas festival complete with food, drink, dancing, singing, jesters, and minstrel music. After all, it is the sea- son to be jolly. Other teachers try for originality and in- terest through encouraging students to try oral reports and special projects. For in- stance, one student doing a report on Yoga, donned leotards, lit incense, and assumed the lotus position on top of a desk. There were some other resourceful students who dressed up like witches and chanted their way through MacBeth. One gave his information on the benefits of jumping rope, while actually jumping rope. Needless to say, these interspersed moments of levity broke the monotony of the classroom atmosphere. At certain times during the year, stu- dents are given the opportunity to com- pare themselves academically with other students, nationwide. The National Latin Exam and the Northern Virginia Math League Exam are two such examples. Honor societies are a large force in the academic life of Yorktown. Their activities include parties, lectures, dinners, movies, and an omnipresent drive to sell some- thing to earn money for the club treasury. The social life at Yorktown may play a large part in the students' lives, but it is better not to forget the purpose for being here at this cherished alma mater. It is to learn, to sacrifice free time, to expand horizons, and above all, to get good grades. Affer all, The pursuit of all knowl- edge is the most noble pursuit of all. ft V-j 3-o Wjujz, vjo-x 'A- k-SUi —j vi) (X a iffM- G G3T - To Make The'Grade i Have you ever felt like the world is clos- ing in on you? Every time you open your locker, ten different books on ten different subjects cascade to the floor. Open a classroom door and there's yet another homework assignment. Three research papers seem to be due the same week. Just when you catch up in math, chemistry begins to cloud over. What is the result of all this intellectual bombardment PRES- SURE — that omnipresent cloud that turns even the most serene lives into complex juggling acts. There is no doubt lhat Yorktown provides a most adequate supply of pressure- causing agents. A.P. courses, incompre- hensible tests, fastidious teachers, college applications, SAT's ... the list is literally endless. Why do we continue to battle these foes at every turn? Grades. They are a chief motivation in our lives and are the marks which will follow us through the re- mainder of our educational lives. In some cases, they may help to determine our futures, for grades and class rank are ma- jor items on college applications. For these simple letters we toil for hours over homework assignments until our hands are cramped, read until the words begin to swim, memorize until we can recite in our sleep, and study until our eyes begin to close. We are all victims of this pressure . . . the pressure to make the grade” With all this stress and strain, time itself becomes a precious commodity. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. For many of us it comes down to a choice between homework and grades, work and spending money, or that lei- sure time and frivolous activities like eating and sleeping. There always seems to be something to do, something that keeps nagging at our minds no mat- ter what we're doing. So, when the papers stack up, the reading seems endless, and the due dates are fast approaching, just remember that pressure affects us all all, and it will always be there in some form We all become time-jugglers, and by the time we're Seniors we're experts at it... a large part due to Yorktown's fine academic departments.

This prestigious nation-wide organization recognizes outstanding acheivement in four major areas: leadership, scholarship, character and service. Including the new members inducted in November, well over one hundred students are enrolled in the Yorktown chapter. The requirements for acceptance are tough to achieve and students are expected to maintain their high quality in all areas. They are espe- cially encouraged to serve both their school and their community to the best of their ability through various National Hon- or Society activities. Projects this year in- cluded cleaning the school's trophy case, social work in both Arlington and Washington, and several fundraising drives for future donations. Acceptance into the National Honor Society is an honor and a privilege. With the large, highly competent group this year, the society made itself useful to Yorktown and the surrounding area.

La Soclete Francalse Gazpacho, churros, helado, paellas and tortillas? At Yorktown students can take their pick of menues. The eating societies of this school, The French Honors Club and the Spanish Honors Club, have shown a par- ticular interest in their respective national cusines. However, these organizations also have many different activities to ex- plore other aspects of French and Span- ish culture. With over forty enthusiastic Francophiles the French Honors Club enjoyed a revival of sorts. The annual activities included the Recipe Contest, the Cheese Festival and the Buche de Noel party. Club members also helped with the International Dinner, received pen pals from all over the world, and increased their knowledge of France and its people through speakers and films. After kicking off the year with an induc- tion dinner, Spanish Honors Club kept busy with many activities. Spanish culture was explored during a visit to the Spanish embassy. A Christmas Sangria party and a paella party were also great successes. Spanish Honors topped off the year with a grand feast at Las Pampas restaurant in Georgetown. So, depending on a student's particular culinary inclinations, Yorktown provides excellent opportunities to pig'out and learn something about other cultures at the same time.

The Math Honors Society has planned many activities, and the FBLA has expanded to the Business Honor Society. The Math Honor Society is under the careful supervision of Mr. Buttermore. Through its monthly meetings, members are able to view informative films and are kept aware of upcoming events. Some members have volunteered their extra time to help in area elementary schools with gifted students. The society has con- tinued to participate and score highly in the Virginia and Continental Math League Contests. The Business Honor Society is formed by the active members of the FBLA. The Presi- dent of the FBLA, Teresa Avery, inducted the officers at a pot luck dinner. They are working together to make the Business Honor Society's first year successful.

A fact not widely known is that there are more than the three starters on the team. In fact, the team is made up of ten members all working hard to improve their knowl- edge while having a good time. A typical practice consists of an hour of questions taken directly from previous It's Academic telecasts. The questions are read by the team's fearless leader. Mrs. Shirley Jay, and answered by the team. They are all in fierce competition against one another, each trying to buzz in first with the right answer on the team's new buzzer system. Missed questions are sepa- rated and asked again at later practices to make sure the team eventually answers every question right. The highlight of the year is the taping of the show. Although the team lost to Wood- ward in a close first round match, a good time was had by all. Yorktown's Varsity cheerleaders were there to lead on our spirited fans, many wearing coats and hats and wavi ng socks above thei r heads. Prospects for next year's team are good, with five members to return and hopes for a large group to tryout in the Spring. Mary laughs at the simplicity of the question and her companions difficulty in understanding it. Gathered around Mrs. Jay, the team thinks fast for another question. It's Academic 205 From the right side of the brain Culture is not dead at Yorktown! Three active fine arts honor societies are thriving. Members of the Thespian Society, Art Hon- ors and Tri-M are among the most talented individuals in the school. Thespian Troupe 1515 has as its mem- bers students who have pledged them- selves to the advancement of dramatic arts in secondary school. Membership in the Thespian Troupe is attained by work- ing on at least two shows and receiving a minimum of ten Thespian points, which correspond to roughly one-hundred hours of quality work. This vear's fall play. The Man Who Came to Dinner, was pro- duced with the help of many Thespians in key positions as was the spring musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. In addition to participating in these shows, the Thespians produced an entirely stu- dent-run play in late spring. Tri-M is the National Music Honor Socie- ty. Its members belong to the vocal and instrumental groups of the school. A solo festival and other musical activities kept Tri-M members busy this year. The Art Honors Club was very active. Different members of the club were re- sponsible for various wall murals, adver- tisements for school productions, and the organization of Yorktown's annual art show. Along with various fund raisers, acti- vities which the club enjoyed included trips to the zoo and museums, and before school breakfast gatherings. Although the Yorktown Art Club is not very large, the club places most emphasis on the group's unity and enthusiasm. 206:The Arts Julie lahr, Art Honors President, keeps her club rolling!

We've got only clues to give: It started on September 8,1981 at 8:25 am. The bus came to a halt and a curious driver clad in blue let the doors swing slowly open. Forty-five persons were admitted on board. The doors were closed tightly, and Ihe driver gave a shifty glance in all directions. The bus departed. At 9:20 am. of the same day in question, the bus arrived again. The same proce- dure was followed except ... 55 persons were taken away this time. Between 10:10 and 11:10 am., 5 persons were put on the bus, almost willingly commented one observer, and driven off. The last occurrence of this same type on September 8, 1981 came at 1:05 in the afternoon. The bus arrived for its last load. Two persons boarded and the bus de- parted. That makes 107 persons. Names are un- known. These same people have apparently been taken away each day at the same time for the entire year. Des- tination unknown. CASE 816 File closed: 6-18-82 The “missing persons case filed on September 8,1981 has been solved. The 107 persons being mysteriously trans- ported away from the original place of work are Yorktown high school students. The students, in groups of 45,55,5, and 2, leave in various time periods from York- town for “study abroad . The bus destination was difficult to trace, but we were led to the Arlington Career Center. All the students were drop- ped at the center, and entered the build- ing for periods of an hour or more each day. Students from the career center have been seem roaming the community on many occasions. On one such time, they were at Williamsburg Intermediate School. They were on a hillsite building the school's sign. — Photographs on File. On a separate siting the students were creating a patio for Yorktown high school. This work can be more closely examined upon inspection — the patio is located behind the school at the cafeteria exit. Background Check: 1) Forty-three different programs of study at the career center. 2) Certifications may be obtained by passing a state-required test after tak- ing courses such as Emergency medical technology and cosme- tology. 3) Six hundrend and fifty-four people en- rolled in the career center in 1981-82 Vear Conclusion: Each year the career center of Arlington captures the interest of many students; some from Yorktown high school wish to receive practical experience in a variety of courses. The career center is getting involved in the community. Yorktown students and all other persons being taken to career center facilities are in good hands.

Their list of activities is nearly endless. Early in '82 they hosted the Northern Virginia Jazz Festival and participated in the Chesapeake Jazz Festival. They were popular performers in both the Winter and Spring concerts and at all the concerts they performed, includ- ing the ones at Covington High School in May. Many of the Jazz Lab members work individually in projects as well, either in their own groups or in school activities such as the Spring musical. The group de- lights fans at football games and pep ral- lies with their rousing numbers. The Jazz Lab is one of the groups that helps display both Yorktown's spirit and its talent. 210 Jazz Lab 'Yes, nods Craig Delta, we are the stars The cheeks have It and the trombone player wins the prize. A small ensemble makes beautiful music together. Jeff Venvertoh blows his sax to the moon. Jazz Lab 211 212 Madrigals VladrigaIs make music marvelously. The Yortctown Madrigals under Ihe tute- lage of Dr. Baxter, Rick Hammeriy Ihe Presi dent and the student leaders Mary Ann Boyd and Walter Birch have had an excit- ing and productive year. So far this year they have sung for many different func- tions such as luncheons, church services, club meetings and even an American Civ. class. Special events included sing- ing for an Ellen Buzman campaign party, singing at the police dinner for underpriv- ledged children, carolling at Sibley Hos- pital and the annual concert at Curtis-Lee Mansion in colonial costumes, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Of course, Yorktown High School was not forgotten as the Madrigals sang at the Christmas concert and assembly. The Madrigals have gained a reputa- tion for excellence in the past few years. However this has not been attained easily. The Madrigals, perhaps more than any other group in school, contribute much time and effort which is evident as one figures out how much time it takes to prac- tice — in addition to the regular 1st period rehearsals. The group has 7 AM rehearsals whenever Dr. Baxter deems it necessary, and night rehearsals are held in order for the Madrigals and Choir to rehearse com- bined numbers. Also, the travelling time to and from over thirty concerts a year adds up as the concerts are sometimes held as far away as Vienna or Downtown Washington. Though the Madrigals receive a few donations, the majority of funds for the group is raised through such activities as Ihe annual spagnetti dinner, music in the Fourm, and selling such things as Yorktown Tee Shirts (Sunshine House Style) and citrus grapefruits (as was formerly done by the band). With the money they raise the group will take part in an exchange con- cert with Bristol High School in Connecti- cut and hopes to take part in another first place performance. The Madrigals have obviously proven themselves to be multi-faceted. Whether singing The Star Spangled Banner at basketboll games or “In The Mood at country clubs or “Adoramus Te Ce Christ- ie at church the Madrigal group has truly been an asset to the school and the com- munity. “She’s this tall,” says Walter Birch of Mrs. Alexiou. Madrigals.1213 If you happen to be staying after school on almost any afternoon, you will un- doubtedly hear the vibrant strains of York- town's Marching Concert Band as they fill the halls. During the Fall and Spring the group spends long hours marching up and down the football field, getting every step into perfect rhythym. This talented group practice nearly as much as most sports teams and participate in nearly as many activities. Besides performing at ev- ery home football game — and making an appearance at every away one—the band has many members that are in- volved in All-Regional Band, the Wind En- semble, and the orchestra for this year's production of “You're a Good Man Char- lie Brown . Their annual Winter and Spring Concerts delighted many this year. The band's big trip this year was the Hershey Park trip on May 20 where they partici- pated in the Spring Choral Festival. Although Yorktown's band is small in com- parison to most other schools', they cer- tainly do not lack in either spirit, talent, or ambition.

The choir that sings together stays together — right?!? Yorktown Choir The Yorktown choir is a large, talented group of students who possess | both interests and talent in music. Choir members were easy to spot this year as if they trudged through the halls adorned I with Surfer T-shirts emblazened with the I Y-town insignia, trying desperately to I sell them. They also managed to sell B fresh fruit from Florida Sunshine in the X dead of winter, all for a worthwhile f cause. All money raised went toward the annual exchange trip in May. This year the group travelled to East Bristol High School in Bristol, Connecticut While there, the Yorktown choir gave two concerts at the high school and were housed with Bristol students. The singers practice long hours to give the fine performances which they are known for. Along with the Madrigals, they help give Yorktown its fine name in choral music.

They spice their schedules with something a little different. Yorktown offers the opportunity to learn the inner mechan- isms of a radio, a car, or the human mind; the skill of typing; and the art of forming the perfect bowl or preparing the perfect meal. Remember the radio you had that stop- ped working for apparently no reason? Electronics is the class where you can learn how to fix it. Taught by Mr. Black- wood, this class probes the mysteries of electronic circuitry. For all the budding mechanics at York- town there is Auto Mechanics, instructed by Mr. Beals, For every student who has a car, but not the knowledge to service it, this class is a boon. Interested in the mechanics of the hu- man mind? Those who are find Psycholo- gy to be the class of choice. Led by Mr. Lee, sleep sessions, group encounters and class discussions are all a part of this course. Going into the business world? Or to college? Typing is a useful skill for either choice. Taught by Mrs. James Mrs. Sren- sek, both speed and accuracy are de- veloped. Do you like getting your hands all gooey? If you do. Ceramics is the class for you. Basic wheel techniques and freeform sculpture are emphasized. For the student with an interest in art. Drawing and Painting is an excellent class. Like Ceramics, it is taught by Mr. Hicks. Various types of drawing, such as still life and action, are covered. Planning to live away from home after high school or college? If you are. Foods I, II, III could come in handy. Along with basic food preparation, nutrition and money management are included. Whatever your interest, Yorktown offers a class for you. “Lois Lane” Diane Herbert types up a hot story An encounter group confronts another Mission Im- possible .

Arguments with the printer over lost copy, yelling matches between editors and reporters over grammar facts and unending struggles to fit odd shaped pictures and verbose articles onto structured layout dummies all pre- ceded the monthly publishing and lun- chtime distribution of Yorktown's 8 page tabloid. It is always the staff which determines the caliber of a paper: the buoyancy, in- telligence, variety and spirit of dedicated editors, reporters, and especially the Sen- try advisor, Anne Alexiou, combined in 1981-1982 to create an award winning piece of journalism. The emphasis this past year was purposely switched to school news, though community affairs in- cluding local elections, and national con- cerns, such as the draft, were certainly not ignored. Rules of style were developed to improve the Sentry's quality; editors work- ed hard to ascertain that consistency in writing and appearance was main- tained. Newspaper tends to be thought of as a no work class; any member of the staff who joined hoping for a study hall re- ceived a surprise. Though hard work was required to produce the Sentry, travail was accompanied by joking, laughter and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. 220 Sentry Sentry 221 DEADLINE ... You are cordially invited to attend the ten year reunion of the 1982 Yorktown Year- book Staff. Where: Alexiou Acres When: June 18,1992 Time: After midnight R.S.V.P. RIP.’ ’Rest in Peace As Chief Justice Anne Lagomarcino and her faithful secretary Nikki Bailey drove up the circular driveway, barely missing the strategically located pit of quicksand, they were confronted by a large dilapidated mansion. Anne leaped out of her ten year old Mercedes, tilted her head back and howled into the wind; immediately Nikki, the efficient secretary, took notes in shorthand. Recognizing the howl, Mrs. Alexiou sprinted to the front door, knowing her lazy butler, Joey Nolan, would be fast asleep on the divan. Tex, as Mrs. Alexiou's former students know her, opened the door to see all of her other guests arriving. The next car to pull in was a black, sleek limousine driven by Randy Ayers, Kath- leen Palmes' and Katie Allen's male chauffeur and escort. K K business associates were making it big in the busi- ness world with help from their swingin', flirtatious secretary, Liz Daily. The cars were now rolling in; a caravan cruised up the driveway with Cathy Irons' car in the lead. Her chauffeur, Matt Ram- sey, and her personal secretary, Jenny Shuey, were in the front seat arguing over the radio station. Following her car were several reporters: Robbie Gustafson, Chris Bernard, and Keit Ung. These reporters were constant followers of Cathy who was the widow of a recently deceased Swed- ish Ambassador, and prime suspect in his homicide. Everyone gasped with astonishment when they saw an ambulance quietly 222 Yearbook drive up. Nurse Meredith gingerly stepped out, careful not to get her attractive white leather shoes dirty. “Mmphrmmmphrpmmphrmm said Meredith. Hey Murph, we can't understand what you're saying with that hospital mask over your mouth, said Randy Ayers who is always on the make. Oh, I'm sorry; It's just that I'm so sur- prised at this kind invitation, I thought Tex would still be mad at us for not ever getting the '82 yearbook out. “Obviously, Tex was still mad for she uttered a wicked, harsh, bitter, cruel, ferocious cackle which startled the gang and drowned out the noise of the helicopter as it landed on Nurse Meredith's ambulance. Meredith shrieked, Oh no, the doctors are going to kill me! I didn't have permis- sion to borrow it. Randy's predictable response was, I don't mean to insinuate anything but don't you mean you stole it!!! The passengers of the helicopter emerged with gracious host mil- lionaire, Stephen Bottum, assisting his guests out. The models appeared one by one; first came Lisa Demoney dressed from head to toe in oxford, Shet- land, Izod, and Papagallo, second was Claudia Spain attired in brown leather pants, sequined top, cowboy boots and a matching gold belt, and third was Pam Vance wearing a styl- ish riding habit. Seamstress Dianne Butler was quick to follow the girls, constantly making adjustments. Lee Moyer and Matt Pomeranz, fashion designers, were the last to emerge with sketch books conveniently on hand. As the jet-set group went over to join the others, Stephen ran over to Yearbook 223 Murse Meredith and quickly promised her five new ambulances to replace the one he had demolished. I'm sorry!!! , shrieked a shrill voice from a Ford pick-up. Guess who's here?, muttered Lisa, It's Marie Hawthorne and her law partner Melanie Crosby. As they climbed out of the truck, Marie broke the four inch heel off her designer clogs and Melanie burped. Melanie, being more shocked than anyone, ran into the house with a look of horror on her face and dis- appeared, never to be seen again. AC DC tunes blasted from a beat up Peugeot driven by mad scientist, Mary Fretts, accompanied by her assistant, Les- lie Deck. Mary and Leslie were unloading their car of their belongings when Andrew Nuchols, the Olympic bike rider, expertly plunged into the pit of quicksand and was never seen again. Hearing the rythmic shouts of Karla Palmer, Redskin Cheer- leader, drawing nearer and nearer, Joey the butler actually woke up. Finally the last vehicle drove up. It was, of course, Lili’s Lollies delivery truck with Lili Holton at the wheel. With her usual ex- pert driving maneuvers, Lili managed to crash into Tex's favorite oak tree. This sent Lollipop shop employees, Anne Laster and Karen Burchard, flying through the windshield and head first into the quick- sand, also never to be seen again. Now that everyone had arrived, they all followed Tex into her formidable mansion. Matt and Jenny were the last to enter the house, and found it empty. Jenny cleverly commented, Gee, Matt, look! I think everyone has disappeared, never to be seen again. Matt, always alert, pointed out that Joey was still there, asleep on the heater. Hey, maybe the butler did it! , he ex- claimed. Just then, Joey woke up and said, Your 224 Yearbook mother!!! Tough Tex entered the room and was immediately approached by Matt and Jenny who spoke in unison, “We are pri- vate investigators and we know that you want revenge on the 1982 Yearbook Staff and are up to something! “No , replied Tex, “down to something! Tex then activated a lever which sent Matt, Jenny, and Joey down into the tor- ture chamber. Here they found the other guests, even Andrew, Anne Lester, and Karen who had found that the pit of quick- sand was just another entrance to the dungeon. The room was well equipped with the dreaded devices necessary for any Yearbook staff. There were creepy croppers, lewd layouts, raunchy rulers, ghastly gutters, tricky trapped white space, perplexing proofs, undeveloped frightening film, crippling candids, corny captions, and catty copy. Groans and screams of anguish could be heard com- ing from the students who were being forced to finish the 1982 yearbook that they had long since forgotten about. But Tex never forgets! 'T finally found a way to get you all to work, even if it did take me ten years! I didn't invite you all here for a happy reunion, but to force you to finish that last Deadline ... DEadline DEAd- line . . . DEADIine . . . DEADLine .. . DEADLIne . . . DEADLINe . . . DEAD- LINE!!!!!!!! This terrifying word was ringing in the staff's ears as they all were startled out of their deep slumbers by Mrs. Alexiou's firm orders to quit sleeping on the job and get back to work. The staff was quick to re- spond and got to work with renewed vigor, with that horrifying dream fresh in their minds as a constant reminder of the possible consequences of not making a deadline.

Where are you from? they ask. Arlington is the reply. “Oh, yeah — that's where the ceme- tery is, right? How many times have we lived through this situation? It seems that everyone in the country visualizes Arlington simply as a huge, sprawling cemetery. Well, Arlington does have the cemetery, but it also has much more. It is very interesting place to live because it does not have a specific identity. It is a suburb, but it is not rural. Washington D.C. is very close, but Arlington is not totally urbanized. Arling- ton exists in the shadow of Washington D.C., but we throw shadows of our own. There are countless numbers of commuters who live in Arling- ton and work in Washington D.C. We Arlingtonians read The Washington Post. On Friday or Saturday nights we drive into D.C. to have our fun. We shop there, sightsee there, museum- hop there, and work there. De- spite this, we call Arlington our home. It is interesting — there are many native Arlingtonians at Yorktown who are also children of natives. They are the stable, binding force in an area char- acterized by its transitional population. The influx in recent years of Asians has changed the face of our community. The recent surge of condominium housing has created housing problems for the large elderly population in certain areas. Arlington schools are struggling to stay open, due to the de- creasing student population. Zoning rights are being con- stantly contested, each change altering the makeup of our community. True, Arlington is in the sha- dow of Washington. However, after taking a closer look, one realizes that Arlington casts sha- dows of its own. It is a thriving, growing, constantly changing community in its own right. Community Divider 227 ■Many thanks to John H.

It was the day the safest trans- portation system in the country took three lives. Anxiety pre- vailed as we waited with crossed fingers for the snow to fall and watched in horror as injured people struggled in an ice-choked river. It began like any other Washington winter day — gray and dreary with a chance of light snow . By two o'clock the light snow was approaching blizzard conditions and the city began to settle in for the first ma- jor winter storm of the season. School kids everywhere pre- pared for a day off as expected accumulations rose to eight inches and beyond. Offices shut down, and commuters embarked on an early rush hour in a vain attempt to beat the snow. And then it happened. Air Florida Flight 90 bound for sunny Tampa hit the traffic-packed 14th Street Bridge and crashed into the frozen Potomac ... Stalled motorists were swept A disastrous sight: The tail of Air Flor- ida Flight 90 is salvaged from the Poto- mac as members aboard the National Guard ice breaker wait. Trudging through the snow, a student makes his way to his bus. Car trouble: a frequent occurrence during a major snow storm. From car to bike to feet: this Is the pattern that one resorts to in such a snowstorm. over the edge and cars were crushed. All that remained of the shining 737 with seventy- eight lives on board was a blue and green tail section protrud- ing through the broken chunks of ice. Rescue workers were on the scene within minutes pulling the few survivors to safety and struggling to free those still en- tombed beneath the ice. Stunned commuters jumped into action, aiding police and rescue workers on the bridge; homebound office workers, like Lenny Skutnik, risked their lives in the lethal river to drag drowning victims to safety. For hours that afternoon and night, Washing- tonians stayed glued to their T.V.'s and radios. The only thing that mattered was getting those freezing, injured people out of that water; the snow, the school closings, the traffic — all were dimmed by the thought of the innocent people aboard Flight 90. And then, not thirty minutes later, tragedy struck again as a Metro train packed with com- muters jumped the tracks and collided with a tunnel wall, crushing three people in the de- bris. What remained of the area's rescue teams were called to the scene. In less than three hours, Washington had become an icy and panic- stricken city ... January 13 will be remem- bered in Washington for many years to come. It was a day that ecstatic students' dreams of blizzards nearly came true. It was a day when the little men from Capitol Hill became life- saving heroes. It was a day that exemplified the ultimate battle of man against nature. Most im- portant of all, it was a day that Washington's austere citizens pulled together and triumphed over tragedy. It was a day that will never quite be forgotten. 230 Disasters Disasters 231 A capital place to live When Arlington seems bor- ing, just a short drive across one of several bridges proposes many other alternatives. Washington, D.C. thrives with history, culture, and entertain- ment. From the time we were wee little tots in elementary school, we have taken frequent histori- cal excursions to and from the va- rious museums and monuments. Among the favorites of these landmarks are the Smithsonian Institute, the National Air and Space Museum, the Museum of Natural History and Technology, the Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jeffer- son Memorial, and the Washington Monument (more readily known as the pencil ). Though we have visited almost everyone of these sites, we find ourselves happily returning time after time. For those who find sightseeing somewhat boring, Washington offers many culturally oriented events. Several times throughout every year, the Mall becomes overwhelmed with activities, such as the Shakespeare Festiv- als. For those who would rather get involved, the American Folk Festival would have been more to their liking. Whether by observance or participation, attending these activities has always been worthwhile. Even closer to home are the far from empty streets of Georgetown. Aside from the sometimes too familiar nightlife, is the choice of spending a day in Georgetown. Both the classy and the quaint shops offer a market of specialty and out of the ordinary items, as well as the basics. A day of shopping and walking through this charming section of D.C. can definitely prove to be a refreshing change. We, as Arlingtonians, have a greater advantage over the rest of suburban America — our backyard just happens to be the nation's capital. ilii in! siss Arlington: A smaller shadow Growing up in Arlington has shaped each of us, for better or for worse, into the individuals we are today. A suburban area creates influences and pres- sures on an individual different than those that result from grow- ing up in a city or in the country. We feel the pressures of the big city the importance placed on time, yet we still feel the homeliness the importance placed on the community that is generated in more rural areas. Living in the suburbs gives us some of the advantages of two different worlds, but it also has its faults. We lose our sense of identify to that of Washington, D.C., even though we are a separate entity. The things in Arlington that make us a sepa- rate community are often over- looked as to their importance. The courthouse, jail, fire depart- ment and other such buildings are at the center of most com- munities, but in Arlington things tend to be located toward Washington. As Arlingtonians, in a sense we even lose our name. How many people say, I'm from Washington D.C. , when telling somebody from a different state where we live? Growing up in Arlington, de- spite these faults, has given us an opportunity most of our par- ents never had. Living in sub- urbs, which have grown so much in the last twenty years, has given us the opportunity to become better rounded peo- ple experiencing the lifestyles of both surburban and urban worlds. Too much change A community anywhere is constantly undergoing change; but the changes that have affected Arlington in recent years have been more rapid than in most places. Arlington has been rapidly changing fronh a quiet suburban area, to a part of Washington, D.C. No matter how much we, as Arling- tonians, want to see our country as a small town, the physical signs are everywhere — Arling- ton is being swallowed by the District of Columbia. Cutting through the middle of the country is the biggest change of recent years. Inter- state 66. Opposed by most of the people in Arlington, people in suburbs farther from down- town forced their highway upon us. Old houses are being torn down to re-emerge as three townhouses, and small plots of land are being gobbled up for new houses. In this year 1981 alone, the people who live around Swan- son Intermediate School have seen the change with the ren- ovation of Westover shopping center. Westover was partially redone with brick sidewalks and sidings that helped take away the seedy look it was ac- quiring, but this has been one of the few changes that has been against the tendency to urban- ize. Other significant changes, such as the completion of the multistory office complex in Ros- slyn, have added to Arlington's own skyline, while further con- struction completed on Metro's subway system and new traffic signals has been erected to control the influx of traffic. One has to view these signs as irrevocable evidence that the city is swallowing up Arlington. We may not like it but it is some- thing we are faced with ev- eryday. Regional parks add beauty to Arlington. A small waterfall sets this park apart from many others in Arlington. A popular park Bluemont is a favorite spot for picnics and tennis.

For all the folks to see, A year of beginnings and ends. From space shuttle flights. To flight 90 plights. The year in short was this: The wedding of Chuck and Di, Was something we'd all love to try. The royal day for the regal pair. Was something of a fantastic affair. For all the long Polish nights, Of standing up for what was right. Solidarity deserves our thanks. The brightest spots of last year. Were the two flights of our shuttle, Both far and near. Although the controllers strike came and went. Reagan gave them not a cent. Flight 90 left for the sun, Then decided that would not be fun. It ended in a splash, Following the biggest crash. Jerry Brown worried, As those Medflies scurried. They threatened to turn the state's crop. Into something less than slop. A Kansas City hotel party staired to swing. As the guests began to dance and sing. Some suspended walks de- cided not to do their thing. James Dozier was the hero of the year. As the Red Brigade spread the fear. The Italian police raided the room. And the kidnapping ended without a boom. The Libyan hit squad threat came and went. As Reagan's and Kaddafi's words didn't make a dent. Assassination attempts plagued the world. We just could not get them out of our hair. Even the Pope was shot in St. Peter's Square. The President might even have been killed, But that wouldn't be what Jodie willed. John Hinkley showed his love in a unique way. But James Brady and Tom De- lahanty got in the way. President Anwar Sadat couldn't duck, As his soldiers shot him from a truck. The parade was watched by all. When the great leader took a final fall. Bob Marley waved his last good-bye, 'Twas time for the prince of reg- gae to die. Bobby Sands died in a hunger strike. Nine more IRA members died alike. Bill Haley left the world of rock. All that is left is to Rock Around the Clock. The Brown Bomber has gone to rest. Some say Joe Louis was the best. Through the years he was a champ. Immortalization was his final stamp. For the 6.1.'s general we mourn sadly. The last of the five stars was Omar Bradley. It was a hit on the head, That left William Holden dead in bed. Natalie Wood is dead and gone. We never saw her for very long. She drowned in the bay. After one bright and sunny day. Dave Stockman went down in The Atlantic, Which left the administration rather frantic. Lech Walensa the man of the year, For standing up to Soviet fear. His union did hold. Until Jaruzelski decided it was time to fold. Alex Haig played the tough. Some say he's too rough. Haven't we had enough? Sandra O'Connor is one of the Brethren. . Let's hope she can get a breath in. Fernando Valenzuela pitched with fury. Making all the other coaches worry. Rita Jenrette bared it all. As Washington's reputation took a fall. She showed her best. And gave a look for the rest, Janet Cooke won the prize. Though not through Jimmy's eyes. The story proved to be a fake. The Pulizter she decided not to take. Brooke Shields was the model for the year. A bit of sex and the innocence of youth. Made her a little boring to tell the truth. Indiana Jones was the hero for all. As Raiders of the Lost Ark took it all, Harrison Ford answered the call. Evita, Pirates of Penzance, and Nicolas Nickleby cam§ to play. As loong as $100 was what you were willing to pay. Rubik's cube was the latesl craze. Some could do it in minutes. For most it took days. Tempest, Space Invaders, and Pac-Man made the scene. As video games became the newest scream. In arcades from coast to coast. These games were played the most. The Walkman brought stereo to the street. Which was quite a feat, Without the giant radio at your side. 254 Royalty and Ronnie to Poles and a Pope Time Bandits stole people's hearts. As it took off with a fast start. Flying through the sky once again. There came a streak of red and blue. Superman returned for Super- man II. Mick and the Stones came back for another show. They proved once again you're never too old. Through all the ice and snow. The Police and Go-Go's put on quite a show. It looked like they wouldn't stop. As their albums went straight to the top. J. Geils played for young and Dr. O’Leary briefs reporters on the con- dition of President Reagan. old. He made it big with Center- fold . Rick Springfield was just a work- ing class dog. Breaking through the ropes. He went beyond the soaps. The Cars showed a panorama of their talent. Shake It Up more than paid the rent. For all you rock fans wet and greasy. There is now a band called AC- DC. Prince Charming made it for Adam and the Ants. It's really time to get up and dance. Stevie Nicks made her place. Air Force One gets ready to take off at Andrew's Air Force Base. With her song Leather and Lace The Boss returned for another show. This time without the cold and snow. With unending popularity, Bruce Springsteen's music has incredible clarity, Devo returned to D.C., To energize your terpsichorean tendencies. A third effort came from Pat Benatar. With this one she is going to go far. As far as television goes, Hill Street Blues was the best of the new shows. Dallas hung in there. And J.R. lives on without a care. Mork finally got married to Mindy, They even had a little baby called Merth. Look out planet Earth. General Hospital was still king of the daytime. Those ratings still continue to climb. The world zoomed to new heights. And plummeted to all time lows. That's definitely going to be a new T.V. show. We survived a year of Rea- gonomics, And saw Chuck and Di in the comics. From Libyan hit squads. To Poles demonstrating. The year of 81 was doubtlessly interesting. Royalty and Ronnie to Poles and a Pope. 255 Aa Abi-Najm.

In so many ways it was all still the same: we trekked to school at an ungodly hour of the morning for nine months run- ning. shuffled through the same hallways to take our seats in the same rooms we've circulated through for what seems ages, learned from the same teachers, laughed with the same friends, and loved the weekend, rowdy basketball games, and Cap. Center con- certs, all the same. For some of us it was the first time, for some the last, but for most it just meant another re- volution in a four-year odyssey of early mornings, too long days, hours on the playing field after six hours in the classroom, midnight runs to Maccy's during all-nighters, tests that stretched our minds and parties thal set them free, baseball games and wrestling practices, blue and white days, rowdiness, worries. frustration, frustration, great times, and, of course, work, work, and more work. You just can't argue with it, it really was just another year, right? How could the 81-82 school year have been different, what is it that makes any one year different, when you really think about it? Yorktown didn't change while we were here, 82 seniors were just another wave of test scores, ranks, grade book entries and football posi- tions while the Juniors, Sopho- mores and Freshmen simply rode through another four quar- ters of routine. Ah, sweet con- tinuity. You could say that, over- all, it didn't add up to much, that it'll all be forgotten by the time the class of '84 graduates Well, no, not really. Because that's what makes the differ- ence: that indescribable, elu- sive. seemingly monotonous quality of Yorktown — continui- ty. Nobody ever minds it when it means staying the best. The Yorktown shadow was as strong as it's always been. The Varsity basketball squad went to the District semi-finals, falling only to South Lakes after a win- ning season. The fans took their share of Yorktown pride with their ritualistic sock-swinging and exuberant cheers, while one group of Senior guys tried the not-so-ritual by strutting their spirit with faces painted half- white and half-blue. Formal wear was another side of spirit. Senior spirit, that is. Assistant Principal, Mr. Parker bet the Senior class officers that the class couldn't get over 90% par- ticipation in a Senior Dress-Up- Day, so when the day in ques- tion rolled around, it was no- thing but ties, suits, skirts, and dresses for over 95% of the Seniors, and $100.00 for the class treasury. Of course, the 81-82 school year did see some changes. Our size dropped to 1200. pur- ple. blue or white moccasins entered the fashion picture, along with the '82 counterpart of gauchos, knickers. Spring- steen lost ground to a back-up band made good, the Go- Go's , and the hero of the Senior theme. Blues Brother John Be- lushi, died at 33. We ended our higher priced Macke meals with the dong of Mr. Ness's cowbell instead of the familiar ring of the five min- 262 Closing ute bell, which helped remind us of another change, the new lunchless six period day. They still talked about closing York- town, but we kept up our hopes and continued to prove that a SomTMF i i Looking judicious? Officer Baird.

All tolled, we scored the points, made the grades, and put on the shows in the same way we always have, which is the best way. We continued to cast an unforgettable shadow in the larger one of a massive metropolitan area. That's the reason why ending the story of the 81-82 school year isn't as simple as beginning it was, or living it was — because we haven't ended. And we know that ten years from now the Pat- riot shadow will still be the same, definitely the strongest, and always unique.
