Taking advantage of the five minute break, these two students relieve the monotony of school with a quick game of chess. Yes, I'm Harold Crabill: at your ser- vice. 2 Opening These junior girls are evidently having a good time at their picnic. Yes, that's me, the sole survivor of the Macke-Food Eating Contest, says a proud Angela Bronson. As soon as the final bell rings, Ms. Glenn tries to decide which is the fastest way home. Going all out to prevent an O'Connell goal, Joe Quinnette saves the Patriots again. More From Less Declining enrollment. Smaller classes. Limited course offer- ings. News of school closings is all around us. The School Board has come up with the 6-2-2-2 plan, the 7-5 plan, the 6-2-4 plan, and many other complex solu- tions to battle the diminishing numbers. Here at Yorktown, however, the secret is out. We've found the key to getting more from less. More from less means dif- ferent things to different people. To the scholar it means hours hunched over textbooks and prep classes to keep up those SAT scores. To the pseudo- scholars it means cranking out an essay in as little time as possi- ble and making the best out of far less than eight hours beauty sleep. To the more athletic types, more from less means practic- ing long hours and rigorous workouts. It may require play- ing double positions to fill out short-numbered teams or walk- ing the halls selling raffle tickets and spirit ribbons. To those who prefer spectating as a sport, it means turning out en masse to support our teams against the giant South Lakes or Madison. Socially, Yorktown has al- ways been willing to give its all. Commitees spend hours in de- serted hallways and classrooms organizing activities, and people come out in numbers for Home- coming, Sadie Hawkins, Oktoberfest, or whatever else the occasion may be. Senior Council, with its largest mem- bership ever, works long hours to make it a fun-filled, unforgett- able year for the Class of '83. Par- tying is as important as ever; everyone tries his best to get as much in as possible in those short hours before the dreaded curfew. Cramming 200+ people into basements, backyards and ski trip motel rooms remain basics. In fact, most of Yorktown life is based on the more from less principle: to have as much fun as possible in our limited high school days. From September to June our lives revolve mainly around Yorktown High School. We spend hours in classes, even more time after school for clubs and sports, and then go home to do more work. But many of the things we do with the school are just for fun. On the weekends, we get rowdy with everybody at Friday night games. Saturday nights are often spent at super- crowded parties getting to know our classmates, and then there is always the Sunday night social hour at the library. During the week, lunchtime at Yorktown is often a packed car on its way to Roy Rogers filled with students escaping the Macke-filled cafeteria. Even in the summer we see our classmates, down in Ocean City where it gets very crowded with kids from York- town. Considering what a large part Yorktown plays in our lives, it is hard for us not to be affected by such words as: declining enroll- ment, school closings, and con- solidation. We know that we are a small school, but it hasn't damp- ened the spirit at Yorktown. We still have the fun, the laugh- ter, the good times, and most importantly, the people that make each year a memorable one at Yorktown High School. w '- . -V i.

Contrary to popular belief, there is a mellow side of Ocean City. 6 Warmth of the Sun Warmth of The countdown was over. The hallways were silent; the lockers stood empty. A warm, sultry breeze rustled the last shreds of evidence littering the floor, blowing away the only traces that students had ever walked and talked and laughed in those corridors. School was over — at least for three months — and we were ready. After surviving yet another year without fringe ben- efits (like sleep), it was finally time to be luxurious, to throw away the textbooks and indulge ourselves. And oh, how we indulged! Savage tanners attacked Ocean City voraciously only hours after the final bell had tolled. After an entire year of partying, the idea of a Beach Week's worth was not that exciting, but the atmo- sphere of sun, surf, good friends and freedom made the prospect quite enticing. An oceanfront condo, the moonlit sands, life- guards, bikinis, a full refrigera- tor .. It was the stuff dreams are made of. Some of us spent the hot months traveling. Whether we went around the world, across the Sun .. the country, or simply to the nearest picnic grounds, the change of scenery did a world of good. (Anything is better than the lovely green-tiled walls of YHS.) Even if we never left the backyard, the name of the game was lazy relaxation, for most of us spent the summer gloriously doing nothing. Even if we worked, there was an adequate amount of free time set aside. After the rigorous school schedule of meetings, sports events, dances, and .. oh yeah, homework (when we could squeeze it in), those long sum- mer days were a godsend. No sue o'clock reveilles or late night study sessions. Imagine swim- ming and playing tennis for fun! How peaceful and relaxing it was just to lie in the sun and watch the world go by (especial- ly certain species of it). Con- certs were enjoyed as never be- fore, for it didn't matter that we didn't get home until three a.m. There was no need to get up be- fore noon anyway. Oh how well we'll remember those few weeks of bliss ... Despite Steve's spectacular soccer skills, he just can't quite measure up to the Great Wall of China. Mike's soft touch soothes Paul's burn- ing back. The Crew Cut Club laughs as Will fails to succeed in “Simon Says. Eric and Diane enjoy a lazy summer afternoon at Great Falls. Summer '82 7 Picking Up We'd seen it all before. The same old familiar faces. The drizzling, icy rain. The unex- pected, and unpleasant, finale. Many people left the homecom- ing game early, certain that Yorktown would win. On Satur- day morning, however, they were rudely awakened. So what happened? In the last two min- utes of the Yorktown vs. Lang- ley game, Langley scored a series of goals which made the score not 14-0 but 14-15. There seems to be a tradition in the air; clouds like to rain on our pa- rade. However, even after three years, our spirit refuses to die. The marching band played up a storm, and the drill team and Where We cheerleaders did their best to keep the stands alive. At half time the homecoming atten- dants and Senior Court were presented. In contrast, the pre-game fes- tivities held no surprises, just fun and food. Oktoberfest attracted many pre-game enthu- siasts ready to launch the even- ing off with a little sauerkraut and knockwurst. The Oom-pah band gave a great German per- formance and there was enough food to feed an army, even a German army. The dancing and merry-making lasted right up until the game, and the Oom- pahers used their energy to cheer the rest of Yorktown on. The Oompa Band plays another German drinking song. Milling around, the usual Yorktown crowd watches each other more than the game. Straining that extra inch John decorates for Oktooerfest. Waiting anxiously, Charles Quinnette hopes the game ends before Langley scores again. Left Off 8 Homecoming: Friday It's down to the last few hours before the homecoming dance. You run down the checklist of things to remember. Do 1 have enough money? Am I wearing the right shade of stockings? Do I put the corsage on her or do 1 let her put it on herself? Should 1 put my arm around her when her parents take pictures? Dinner could be served romantically at home or at a res- taurant suitable for formal attire. Either way, manners are careful- ly minded, but after a half hour or so the rigid manners lose priority, and everyone relaxes. Champagne bottles abound. Then, off to Yorktown for the main event, the homecoming dance. Once there, you carefully eye everybody and the different dresses girls are wearing, hop- ing that nobody has yours on. Hey, I tried that dress on at 'The Limited' Sure glad I didn't get it though: three other people are wearing it too! You talk to all your friends excitedly as you compliment each others' dress and find out where everybody 10 Homecoming Dance went to eat. The music inside the dark- ened cafeteria sounds inviting so you and your date venture in. The decorations are great; many people reached for the 'stars' that hung from the ceiling and took them home as souvenirs of the night. The music stops; it's time for the presentation of the Home- coming court. First the frosh. attendants: Mark Brown and Jenny Reid. Then the sopho- mores Ray McQuillan and Meagan McColgan, followed by juniors Steve Nicholakos and Dede Simmons. Then the Senior attendants were announced: Beth Bickley, Steve Herrlein, Deeann Klassen, Mike O'Dea, Kathryn Scott and Mark Knight. And the 1982 Homecoming King and Queen are .. Steve Herrlein and Kathryn Scott. All too soon, the dance is over and everybody leaves but, of course, the night was not over yet. The 1982 Homecoming Dance is something that every- body present will always re- member. Jenny and Andrew think about the evening that is ahead of them. Practicing for the bull fights, Jeff S. entertains Krista. Former dance teacher Courtney S., teaches Kevin A. the basic steps for the waltz. Queen Kathryn Scott and King Steve Herrlein, enjoy a dance together. New Bubble Yum now comes in tux- edo colors. Table etiquette is displayed by Scott P. and his date Kathryn D. With their diverse outfits skirts, peddle pushers, and bermuda shorts, these show us that they know what's in fashion. Tree-top Courtney shows a flair for fashion. lion Plus Long, long ago, say two or three years, Yorktown was known as the PREP SCHOOL. Almost everyone was ultra-preppy, and those who weren't were definitely in the minority. But, at last, times have changed. The era of The Liberal Dress Code has arrived. The Preps have defied their hand- book and ventured into such dar- ing articles of clothing as mini- skirts. As the lines drawn between the styles disappear, a blending of styles is noticed. Wait a minute! you gasp as you frantically view the crowded 'halls. The once distinct styles of PTep, Grit, and High Fashion are no longer separate. It is getting harder to condemn or adore some- one for simply what he is wearing one day. Today's Prep may be tomorrow's Grit. Sometimes it is hard to distin- guish who should wear what. The Jean Jacket Question, for example, has been plaguing many minds. What should be worn with a Jean Jacket? A thermal underwear top? A 100% Shetland wool sweater? Cowboy boots and overalls? How about a denim mini-skirt? Answer: wear whatever you like because individuality is the key to York- town Fashion. Fashions 13 He ;a afralrt He la irtally a. r.e. He is 3 million llfh� .ear from horn 14 Trends Fads — some of the most popular ones this year at Yorktown. What’s in a name? McDonald's french fries. Soc- cer. The Rolling Stones. There are some trends that seem to stay around forever. No matter what, it seems, some things will always be popular. Like pizza. And junk food. But every year there are new fads, too. This year there was Pac- man, Donkey Kong, and dozens of other video games that swal- lowed quarters as fast as we could drop them in. And there were shoe laces covered with lit- tle designs, just like a number of pencils. Exercising was a super fad, with two books and an album by Jane Fonda. And, of course, there were the Go-Go's. And E.T. And every year some trends change, for the better or for the worse. Springsteen fans were generally disappointed with his fall release, “Nebraska . Other albums were more popular, such as releases by Rush, Fleet- wood Mac, Linda Rondstat, Joe Jackson, and Pat Benetar whose Get Nervous was very suc- cessful. Fast food freaks enjoyed the switch from Gino's to Roy Rogers for another year of lun- ches out. Some new trends may prove to be long lasting, but most, however, will be forgotten by next year. One thing to be sure of, though, is next year will bring a whole new group of trends to fill these pages. 16 Georgetown: Day Washington by night is unforgettable. This Town Is Our Town Hop in the car with a couple Of friends, put a few dollars worth in the tank and cruise a quick five miles: on to the G.W. Parkway, over Key Bridge and into Georgetown. Friday night, after the game, or a sunny Saturday afternoon — any- time is a good time to make a Georgetown run. Day or night a trip downtown always promises to be an adventure. In the afternoon, a walk on the rutted towpath beside the canal is a lazy way to spend some time. You might even catch a free concert at the Foundry. If walking is not your thing maybe you would rather sample the variety of excellent culinary treats found in Georgetown. Try the Mar- ket-House for anything from Chinese Food to a slice of pizza or stop bjf Swenson's for a scoop of your favorite flavor. For lunch or dinner with a little more class there is always Clyde's or the American Cafe. Got some extra cash? Pick up your favorite album at Penguin Feather, or punk out at Commander Salamanders, or stop by a shop in Georgetown Park. There's a million things to do when the sun's high in the sky. Georgetown is a great place to spend an afternoon. When night sets in and the street lights take over, the sidewalks and crosswalks are still filled with peo- ple; Georgetown remains alive after the sun goes down. Nothing specific in mind tonight? Catch a popular flick at the Cerebrus 3 or try a foreign film at the Biograph. For those who like to get down to the latest sounds, dancing is excellent at the Library or Winstons each with a unique atmo- sphere. Georgetown is famous for its variety of concerts. Catch the Romantics at the Bayou, see the Slickies at 930 ... the posibilities are endless. If you just want to fool around, that's fine too. Have a deep dish pizza at Uno or drop a few quar- ters in the video games at Station Break. Just have fun; that's all that matters. Oh, and don't forget to be home by 1:00. Downtown: Night 17 As they kick up their heels, these three cider-nappy audes have a stomping good time at Sadie's. As he waits for another couple to make the vows, Mr. Marryin' Sam Moun- tain is thinking about nis good buddy in his pocket! As Pam sines a lullaby, Timmy drifts off to sleep while waiting in line for refresh- ments. Ellen gazes loyally at her new husband when Steve proposes a life on the cattle ranch. The hillbillie blood of these Yorktowners can't be hidden as they clap to the row- die music. 18 Sadie Hawkins Hillbilly Silly This is the night for the ladies, at the dance that we call Sadie's. Come on gals, here's your chance. Ask your favorite guy to dance. Dont' be slow. Don't delay, Or else you'll never get your way. Go to that dance, have some fun. Dance with that hillbillie bum. Pick 'im up, Throw 'im down. Swing that silly guy around. Do-si-do, And away we go. Stomp on that dance floor and put on a show. Get a honey, Spend some money, Better sit down if your head feels' funny. Swing your partner round and round. Step on his shoelace and hurl him down. Grab that guy on your right. Even though he's an awful fright. Gallop up, Gallup down. Toss that silly guy around. Kitty and Timmy were the ones. That looked like hillbillie bums. Timmy Fuller claimed the fame, Lil' Abner was his name. Kitty Burnett dressed the hick way. Thus her name was Daisy Mae. Oh my gosh. It's getting late. Time to take home that silly date. What an evening what a What a show. Sure glad that you could go. Steve and Dede prove, dressing up is half the fun. Swing your partner round and round. Sadie Hawkins 19 Pillow Talk MAN: Hello? How are you? I had a really good time last night and 1 ... WOMAN: Hello? Hello! I can see that this party line is not going to work out! Mr. Allen, I thought we decided that I was to use the first half hour for making calls and you the second. I'll give you two minutes to end your conversation with your 'girl- friend'! Two minutes Mr. Allen! MAN: I'm back Yvette. Oh, that was the woman that I share this party line with. She'll calm down in a minute. So, where was I? Pillow Talk , this year's fall production, produced and directed by Jean Dickson, was yet another success. The story had a soap opera aura to it. Woman shares party line with man. Woman despises man for always using phone. Man has never met woman. Man meets woman one day and likes her looks. Man decides to disguise himself as some southerner visiting New York. Man and woman fall in love. Woman finds out who man really is. She seeks revenge. She demolishes his aprtment. Man apologizes for lying. All is forgiven. They get married and live happily ever after.

I— Play 21 Seniors Pull Through As expected, the seniors won the annual Senior Olympiad, but not without a little competi- tion from the opposing team, the faculty, who only trailed the favored seniors by one event. The competition ended with an overall score of 6 events to 5. The seniors crushed in flag football with a score of 56 to 28, but the faculty bounced back when they skunked the seniors in ping pong (5 games won by the facul- ty out of the 5 games played). In the long distance race, Chris Kidder and Mark Pennell brought the seniors in the lead once again (Better luck next time Officer Steger!) but this didn't discourage the faculty. They kept the pressure on and their efforts were rewarded when Mr. Buttermore beat Chris Robinson two games to zilch in the Chess tournament, Dede Macekura won the Spelling Bee, and Mrs. Alexiou, Mrs. Henkel and Mrs. Newhouse led the way to victo- ry in It's Academic against John Andrukonis, Rob Skoff and Chris Kidder. Never fear though! The seniors would nev- er give the faculty the satisfac- tion of winning, they were just giving them a break (it's not nice to get a teacher mad.) They proved this by smearing the fac- ulty in tennis, badmitton, and 22 Senior Olympiad ■ Again volleyball (final score 9-8). The faculty did win the basketball game, however, but not without much dispute. The score was never really clear, with one scoreboard displaying one point more than the other, but the fi- nal score was 10-8. Now the pressure was really on. The scores stood at 5 events to 5 and the Tug-of-War would be the tiebreaker. With most of the weight being on the faculty's side, the seniors seemed doomed. The whistle blew, starting the event, but before the faculty could realize what was going on, they found them- selves being dragged helplessly across the floor. They pulled and struggled, but the determined seniors were not about to lose this event. The agony which plagued the faculty was evident in the redness of their faces as they felt themselves sliding closer and closer to losing until at last they were put out of their misery by the whistle stopping the event. Cheers filled the gym. The seniors had won the Olym- piad 6 to 5. As everyone cleared out of the gym, a few students snickered at the faculty's fore- told loss. Seniors and teachers compete for the re- bound. Senior Olympiad 23 Gotcha! As John Teter goes through the daily monotony of shaving, he is re- minded that failure is just a razor-slip away from success. Wait up! Dashing after Bus 45, this stu- dent serves as a reminder that we aren't always ready. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth all the practices and workouts.

I hardly had time to take a shower and get dressed. 1 grabbed a doughnut on my way to the bus stop, but I never got to eat it because it fell into the sewer. I hope I pass my math test today. I really stud- ied hard for it. That's proba- bly why I forgot to set my alarm. Hey listen, can you meet me at lunch and help me finish that English paper? I need a few words to fill in. You know how 1 am with words. I also need to talk to you about Bob. We're going out tonight but I think he's mad. Oh darn! 1 forgot I had crew practice to- day. Geez 1 also forgot to bring clean sweats. Oh well. I'll suf- fer I guess ... Whew. That was a hard practice. I'm beat. Oh no! Mom, where is my new blouse? What? It shrunk? Oh, I'll have to go get another one, because I have absolutely noth- ing else to wear tonight. I wonder where he's taking me before the movie. Winston's I hope. I hear Jack's having a party, maybe we'll go there afterwards. I wish I could get rid of that zit. It's so red. What time does the store close? Geez, I hope I look alright. This blouse really is not as pret- ty as the other. I hope my hair doesn't stick out. I curled it as well as I could. Oooh! Here he is. Where's the Binaca? Wow! What a night! O.K. alarm, I'm setting you for 8 am. so I can get to work on time. It's Saturday! Those college ap- plications need to be done. There's always Sunday. Geez! Will I survive college life if high school is like this? Let's hope.

Friday Monday Shopping is a nice, leisurely way to spend a weekend afternoon. Right? Wrong? If you're like most of the population shopping can be quite an exasperating experience. Don't let the salespeople at Blooming- dales deflate your ego. Tell them what price range you are interested in and they'll show you to the budget de- partment where you are left to fend for yourself. Once you spot that perfect item nothing can stop you. Clutching your new discov- ery you eye other shoppers with suspicion — they all look as though they are out to get it. But you're safe. With the receipt in the bag, you're on the way home. “Now I have something to wear to school tomorrow. But what pants do I have to match it? Oh, I better go shopping next weekend ... Remember when you were little and used to get up at 7:00 a.m. to watch car- toons? Remember how you hated nap time in nursery school? Just as sleep used to be the enemy, (No mommy, I don't WANT to take a nap!), it has now become one of the fa- vorite pastimes. The weekend is anticipated be- cause, among other things, you can sleep late! Hear the alarm go off, groan as you attempt to get out of bed and then flop back as you realize it's Saturday. But then on Monday the alarm goes off and you have to get up. But wait!! While you were asleep it snowed twelve feet! Switch the radio to a news station and pray to hear those magical words. Fairfax County ... closed (so, what else is new?), Loudon Coun- ty .. . closed, Arlington County ... Closed!!! Aaaah! 28 Weekend A favorite way to pass those weekend days is eat- ing. Some of the more popu- lar restaurants, especially for students with a limited income, are those which fea- ture all the food you can eat. Such places tend to bring out the greed in most peo- ple. It's always easy to spot the ones who really intend to eat ALL they possibly can. They heap food onto their plate, assembling it in such a way that it can make the trip back to the table without toppling over, and then are not embarrassed to come back for more. Perhaps you recognize yourself as one of these 'all- you-can-eaters'. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Don't call yourself a glutton — consid- er yourself a budget con- scious individual who is only trying to get the most for their money. A large part of weekend times is devoted to that general area known as en- tertainment. In high school, one of the more common forms of high school fun is the party. It's always amus- ing to watch the 'life of the party-lampshade wearer' who, no matter how little alcohol he has consumed, is just sooo zasted! Another form of weekend entertainment is the video game. If you're successful in this electronic art you can really get a lot for your money by winning free games. Of course, you must be careful lest you catch the dreaded 'video disease'. But there is really nothing for parents to worry about. As our teenage model displays, how much harm can a few video games do? Saturday Weekend ’ 29 eL«n’r gEt If you're feeling really de- pressed, crave a bit of adventure or just want a good laugh, the best remedy is a good old- fashioned prank. What could be more entertaining than seeing a friend, or someone who could never be your friend, go bug- eyed and change from a healthy flesh-tone to a lovely crimson red? Not even Sony could get such a vivid range of color. You'd be surprised at how fast even the class “goody-goody can learn a new vocabulary con- sisting of four-letter words. Everyone likes a good joke sometime, and Yorktown stu- dents are no exception. Whether the plan is extrava- gent and well-calculated, or is just a spur of the moment thing, the results are pretty much the same ... a laugh and a half. The trick to pulling off a good joke is to do it, and then manage to erase all evidence which might incriminate you. Leaving the victim puzzled as to who dun- nit is half the fun. The R.A. (Radical Alcoholics), which is exclusively for juniors who like to drink and do radical things, really took the cake for their stunt on the Yorktown field the weekend before exams last year. The dirty deed was done after a Saturday night at Tippy's Tacos. In the park, they spotted a tree which set off their diabo- lical scheme. In no time, the tree was cut down and taken to the school field, where a hole, big enough to accomodate the trunk, was dug. The tree was then cemented in place and artistically decorated with emp- ty Budweiser cans. By the next D . . . ( et EyEn! morning, the tree was found, but the administration never knew who to point their accus- ing finger at. Sometimes, however, even the best thought-out prank can backfire, as in the case of the an- nual Washington-Lee press box decorating. Every year, it has been the tradition of Yorktown students to sneak onto W-L territory to decorate the press box. This year, though, the spir- ited students were thwarted by at least 20 W-L students who had camped out in the press box. This time the Generals suc- ceeded in guarding their grounds, but next year, they may not be so lucky. (HINT! HINT!) In planning and carrying out a good joke, you should follow these traditional guidelines: 1) Define who you want as your victim and why. Do you want to get them as a means of revenge, or because you are curious as to how they'll react? 2) Find the most inconspicuous time. You wouldn't want the most perfect plan to be ruined by being prematurely discovered. 3) Carry out the plan, then check to see if you left any clues which might lead back to you. 4) Continue as if nothing had happened.

It was a happy evening Janu- ary 30, 1983 in Washington, D.C. Every Redskin fan was glued to the TV watching the Nation Capital's team defeat the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII in Pasadena, California. The final score said it all: Red- skins 27, Dolphins, 17. Earlier, the season was para- lyzed by the football strike. No one knew whether there would be a Super Bowl or not in 1983. But after the games resumed, the Redskins dominated the sea- son with the best record in the NFL. The Redskins went on to defeat all their opponents in the playoffs, including their archriv- als, the Dallas Cowboys. This win in the NFC Championship game avenged the Skins' only loss in a near-perfect season. On Super Bowl Sunday the Red- skins showed America and the world who is 1, and they gained the respect they de- served. Now even Rodney Dangerfield could be proud and learn about respect. Coach of the Year Gibbs accred- ited the success to a strong team effort. The great offense was headed by the all pro quar- terback Joe Theismann. The real key to the offense was John ''the Diesel Riggins who was named the MVP of the game. John set several new Super Bowl records by rushing over 100 yards as he had done throughout the play- offs. The offensive line, affec- tionately nicknamed The Hogs , were magnificent during the season. These players in- cluded Russ Grimm, Joe Jacoby, and Jeff Bostic. The average weight of the Hogs was 274 pounds. After the hogs came the Smurfs , Alvin Garrett who came in for the all impor- tant but injured Art Monk and Charlie Brown who because of his many touchdowns was elected to the Pro Bowl. The Smurfs led to the Fun Bunch who created the High Five . Other outstanding offen- sive players were Joe Washing- ton, Don Warren, and Clarence Harmon. Complementing the offense was one of the best defenses in the NFC, comprised of Dave Butz, Mark Murphy, Vernon Dean, Jeris White, Dexter Man- ley who will always be remem- bered for sack on Danny White, and many other terrific players. These guys played superbly during both the regular season and the playoffs. They gave up little yardage, sacked several im- portant quarterbacks, and Takt Me Along re The SUPtXBOWU COLLECTORS EDITION , 1983 A scored many touchdowns by great interceptions. Those special teams are not to be overlooked. Mike Nelms, the punt returner, signalled very few fair catches, preferring to run the ball. His return record should tell you why. Last but certainly not least was Mark Moseley. His golden foot kicked a record of 23 consecutive field goals during the season. Moseley was named MVP by the Sporting News , the first full- time kicker to receive such an honor. He certainly represents the drive and determination of the Washington Redskins, World Champions. Redskin fans certainly know who is the best. Despite many disappointments in the past, the fans have always remained loyal to their team. Every home game was sold out with these fans wearing their “Hog T-Shirts, buttons, hats and carrying their signs of encouragement and confidence. Several fans wrote fantastic poems and recited them on radio stations. York- town was surely no stranger to Redskin mania. Students deco- rated their locker and dressed up in their favorite Redskin pa- raphenalia on the Friday before the big game. Nowhere else in the country could one feel the electricity and anticipation in the air as one did at Yorktown and in the Metropolitan area. It has all paid off. Ten years after the Redskins' first match- up with the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VII, they met the Dolphins again in Super Bowl XVII and finally had their day in the sun. Washington dominated the game and the stadium. To show the Redskins their love and respect, the fans welcomed the team home with a parade. Even though it rained and ev- erything got wet, thousands of fans showed up to thank the team for their great performance and to forever say, Hail to the Redskins! Despite the adverse weather conditions, Yorktown's band is ready. Despite the miserable, weather. Red- skin fans travelled downtown to wel- come the Champions. Snub a Sub Just follow your instincts, these tricks have been in ex- istence forever. If you are the first one to spot the sub, run up and down the hall and inform all your class- mates. Switch seats with a friend, and go by his name or say My nickname is Spike. In order to avoid doing the assignment ask the teacher to tell you some stories. The ones about his childhood are the best. If you get bored, just walk out the room and give the sub someone else's name Ask the sub's view of prop- aganda in southern Yugosla- via's politics and then take a nap while he answers. When the sub walks out of the room lock and block the door with a chair. Sub’s notes first period — Your A.P. class told me that we were to watch Family Feud and discuss the mentality of those who partici- pate on the program. second period said that you were through telling them about Hamlet and insisted that they learn the aerodyna- mics of a frisbee. third period — only one stu- dent showed up. He said that they were all meeting you to go out to brunch. fourth period — thirty five of the students could not get the lock on their lockers unlocked. fifth period was the worst class I have ever encountered. This class was a zoo. Some girls were making animal noises and no one would sit in their seats. sixth period class was very well behaved. They all put their heads down and went to sleep. Memo 1. Please have the students in second and fourth periods write an in class essay explaining all use of symbolism in Animal Farm. 2. The A.P. class, first period should be given free time to discuss the film they saw yesterday. 3. No one may leave class to go to the bathroom, water- fountain or locker.

The students carry most of the responsibility on such an occasion because without their lack of respect, the customary unpleasant- ness might be avoided. Of course, the teacher is re- quired to leave an incredibly long list of assignments and rules that seem to insinuate that the sub should be con- tent to act as a babysitter. The substitute has perhaps the toughest job: finding a happy medium between the teacher's insistance that the rules be followed, and the students' obvious desire to ignore all rules. Substitutes 35 The Ultimate Option At 2:00 the last bell rings and your day at Vorktown is over, right? Wrong! Most of us choose to spend a few more hours with- in the confines of our school. Af- ter the buses have pulled away and the student parking lot has almost emptied, there are still plenty of students around. But they are no longer considered students, they are now function- ing as athletes, actors, mana- gers, and service club members. Numerous meetings take place behind closed doors as commit- tees, clubs and societies discuss their activities and plans. The halls are almost empty, except for the second floor where tired bodies run through the corridors. As the footsteps of the track team pound monoto- nously inside, outside the fields are full of soccer and football players. At the pool, the voices of the swim team members echo and on the stairs, the wrestlers struggle with sandbags as they try to burn off those last few pounds. Students who get involved in a school play are often the last to leave. Rehearsal after rehearsal demands their time. Some of us end up putting in extra hours to prepare for an evening activity. The presence of decorating com- mittees in the halls is constant as we prepare for dances, dinners and other gatherings. Whatever we choose, any Vorktown student can find an activity of interest. The wide va- riety of options leaves us to de- cide which ones we prefer, but quite often 2:00 is greeted as a time to relax with no more bells to answer to until 7:30 the next morning. 36 The Ultimate Option The Ultimate Option 37 Leigh Gardner Faces Yorktown is a unique school. Many different interests, back- grounds, and personalities are reflected in the many different faces roaming through the halls. We could give you a list of statis- tics. We could write a long de- scriptive narrative on the varied characters of Yorktown. The only way to really see these vari- gated personalities is through the faces themselves. These are the faces of Yorktown. 38 Faces 40 Senior Candids Matt Pomeranz John Andrukonis Carrie Ridgely Jennifer Stoll and Kim m John Egner and Irving “This Has Been a Super Year” Jill Christensen: To every- thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Applications. En- glish. We have to do all of them. Our high school lives are full of musts, in and out of school. Most musts , however, occur within the walls of Yorktown. Curfews and home chores can be negotiated. Homework, ex- ams, college applications can't. Everytime we walk into a room or listen to a teacher, we're surrounded by musts. Al- though often disguised behind such words as please , we re- quest that , or you should , these musts are required to stay alive in the high school scene. We must take English again and again or be ignorant in our own native tongue. We must get those honor society dues in or be thrown out and lose everyone's respect. We must get those college applica- tions in well before the deadline or goodbye higher education. We must be at school by 7:30. We must get that yearbook deadline in and that research paper done. Life seems to be one have to after another. Those research papers can keep us at the library until closing time. Those honor societies keep us busy not only during school, but weekends and holidays, too. Yearbook and newspaper stu- dents can be seen many eve- nings burning the midnight oil in the deserted school halls. Academically, these have tos are responsible for tired eyes, boring lectures, and writ- er's-cramped fingers. The term must , however, does not al- ways have to be negative. The same word applied to research and applications, can be quickly turned around once outside Yorktown. There's that party we have to go to, that album we must hear; the movie everyone else has seen. Musts whether good or bad, drastic or ordinary, are the substance and spice, of high school life. Academics are taken seriously at Yorktown: Mrs. Ratchford works with her English class Senior Class Assembles This year's Senior Assembly was a rousing success. Liz Daily started the ball rolling with her tremendously funny role in the class officers' skit. Jim, Beth and John played their parts well, but Liz stole the show with a great performance, and some snappy dialogue, which included her now-famous expression Shabby ! Then the seniors turned serious, each telling about the planned activities. John Andrukonis displayed mathematical wizardry reel- ing off figures in an incredible speedy fashion, as taught to him by Whiz Mountain, last year's Jr. Class Sponsor. The crowd was further inspired bv Dan Kozak and his band. Suburban Onslaught. Mrs. Henkel, the Senior Class Sponsor, showed how rambunctious she could be by cheering along with the crowd. The already rabid crowd went over the edge with Jim Detwiler, the senior class president, reeled off his incredible rendition of the senior class cheer. Next came the question and answer period during which A1 and Howard inquired of Mrs. Henkel and the class officers as to where the funds were going. Receiving entirely adequate answers from John, they retired to their seats. The assembly ended, and the seniors strode out of the auditorium to the sounds of Suburban Onslaught, everyone seeming much more ready to face the rigors of their senior year ...

Campbell Senior Picnic Starts the Year It was a warm, sunny Friday afternoon when the senior class met at Bon Air Park during that first week of school. This day marked the first official gathering of the Class of 1983: The Senior Picnic! After the summer when many people did not get a chance to see each other, it gave everyone the opportunity to catch up on what had been happen- ing. Aside from just some plain 'ole mingling, there were plenty of other things to do. If you weren't too hungry, you could participate in any one of the number of activities: a volleyball game was organized, and while frisbees were thrown around, some people played on the swings, and others just passed a football. You name it, our devoted Senior Class Officers, aided by Mrs. Henkel, prepared and served it: hot dogs, hamburger, soft drinks and delicious water- melon to top it all off. After the first week of school, the Senior Picnic was just the thing needed to unite the seniors for the year ahead! 3,4; Business Editor, Grena- dier 4; French Club 2; National Merit Semi-tinalist 4; Achieve- ment in 2 foreign languages 3; Who's Who Among Ameri- can High School Students 4; America's Outstanding Names Faces; J.V.

Why do I feel I would be an asset to this particu- lar college?' ... What do I have to offer? These are familiar questions to all Seniors ap- plying to college. It is difficult to sum up four years of high school in a 250 word essay. Even more frustrating is writing your name and current address over three and four times on the same application. After you have relieved the pressure of counse- lors and parents by finally completing the form questions and essay, you begin to feel nervous. Will they accept me? Did I make any dumb mis- takes? Do you really think my SAT scores were high enough? Don't panic, Senior. If your first choice school does not accept you, life is not over. Another one will welcome you, and before long, you will be living it up at college, worrying about a whole new set of problems. Patricia A. .Canady Tony Carpenter Dwight K. Carmichael Kenneth P.

I grab my books, head for the car, and break all speed records going home. I open the door, pick up the mail and look through it. Bill, bill, magazine, bill, newspaper ... here it is! 1 rip it open and scan the beginning of the letter. I am pleased to tell you now that the Committee on Admissions has authorized me to offer you admission I scream and run to the phone and call my parents. I'm having a little trouble talking, but I get the message across. I look at the clock and realize that 5th period is almost over and I'd better get back to school. It's your Senior Year ... time to relax and take it easy, right? Nope. This is the year of gradepoint averages, class rank, and college applications. The year begins with class rank. Your homeroom teacher hands yours to you and you groan, regretting the times you goofed off in Geometry, or failed to write that English essay, or didn't study for that important history test. If only that B were an A, and that C were a B, you'd be in the top ten percent. The pressure increases as you realize that this first semester is your last chance to prove yourself. You had just gotten psyched to lie back and take it easy during a severe case of Senior Slump, when you are shaken back to reality. Within two short quarters you must achieve A's in every class for that all-important mid-term grade. You must also write to colleges, narrow down your selection of prospects, and finally, mail out your completed applications. When you have accomplished this, you are forced to sit back and wait for your future to be decided. J.V. Wrestling2.

Fretts Timmy Fuller Jim Gates Senior Suffer from Syndrome Senior Syndrome What's all the fuss? It's just a phase. Most teachers don't even recognize it as a legitimate phenomenon, they just shrug it off as another elaborate excuse concocted by an overworked senior crusing Georgetown while simul- taneously worrying about an upcoming Max Smith experience (that's test to you and me). In fact, the Senior Syndrome (called the Senior Slump by others) has become a holy institution, an upperclassmen's sacred cow-trite but truthful. What exactly is the Senior Syndrome? Simply put, it is apathy toward all school-related work. Yes, it is true that all of us experience this throughout high school, but it is only in our senior year that this feeling reaches astronom- ical proportions. The Senior Syndrome usually results in the lowering of grades which is inversely proportional to the boom in business at Dixie Liq- uor. How long does this horror of horrors last? Well, it varies from person to person, but most often it is foreshadowed sometime in our junior year and lasts roughly a semester in the latter half of our senior year. Tragically, there are those who ... never recover, (the S.S. mortality rate is an overwhelming 15.74%) Kimberly Falck School Board Representative 3,4; Equitation Club 3; Kappa 4; F.B.L.A. 3,4; German Hon ors 3,4; Business Honors 4; Tri-M 4; English Honors 4; Na- tional Honors 3,4; Varsity Baseball Manager 2,3,4; Mad- rigals 4; Choir 1,3; Katie Farrell S.G.A.

Now in the times of difficulty and emotional duress of his fourth year of high school, he undergoes a strange metamorphosis. He is transformed into a bundle of unfettered power. Underclassmen may allow themselves to stand in awe of the matchless might — but beware the Incredi- ble Senior! He sets his awesome powers to task, partying in the traditional over- rowdiness characteristic until his skin seems to have a green tint to its color. He goes out to lunch so many times, it seems as though his clothes just may split open at the seams. Nothing can compare to the unbelievable power of this superior human being. Teachers mav attempt to cage him with lengthy homework assign- ments and massive research papers, but not even this can control the uncon- querable senior. He answes this challenge by unleashing the mind-boggling fury of the senior slump. His apathy toward school is unequaled throughout the institution. There is just no stopping the behemoth, at least not till next fall when the saga continues . . . Janet Herring Stephen Herrlein Danette Hines Todd Hitt Paulette M.

Items such as your senior decal and fake I.D., weekend activities, and corresponding excuses are unique to the senior. The following is a survey taken by seniors concerning these aspects of their last year at Yorktown. 1 — What do you use your I.D. for? — to impress girls — to get in places — Arfingtron County Curfew — to give to Mike Hooper — to buy Red, White, and Blue — to shop at Paul's Market 3 — What is your favorite weekend activity? — parties — sleep — football games — Football games — eating — getting it 2 — Where did you put your senior decal? — on my forehead car window burned it gave it to Liz Dailey in the trash on the stop sign in my room 4 — What is your favorite excuse? — I didn't do it. — My car broke down. — Howard told me to do it. — A1 made me do it. — And I did too. — I'm tired. 4; Senior Council 4; Maena Cum Laude-Silver Medal 3; Spanish Honors 3, Secretary 4; Math Honors 3,4; Latin Hon- ors 4; National Honors 3,4; Softball 2,3; Orchestra 3; Auto Rally Committee 4.

Call 911 for help! Those words are not unusual for anyone having Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CRP) training. This is only the beginning of a series of steps to saving a person's life. CRP training was offered to the seniors of York- town by the Red Cross. Thrity students, led by the school nurse and two Red Cross volunteers, suc- cessfully completed the course. For two days stu- dents practiced mouth-to-mouth breathing and CPR on both adult and infant manikins, as well as learning to relieve a victim of a clogged airway. These students not only had to pass a visual test of learning the steps, but also a written exam. Upon completion of the class, everyone received a certificate for their training. Every year the course must be repeated and passed in order to be certi- fied. The Red Cross instructors were very pleased with the attentiveness and enthusiasm of the se- niors.

Powell 9:30 On The Weekend 9:30 Club The long tunnel-like hallways leads to an unobtrusive set of double glass doors. A man with a strange, mohawk-like haircut sits at a small counter in front of the set of doors. The only clue to where you have ventured is the huge 9:30 painted above the outer entrance. As you approach the man, he asks for your I.D. Don't worry if you don't have one or aren't of age yet, you can still get in. You either get stamped, or your get an evil non-drinker mark. Just pay the five dollar cover charge, and you are on your way. The inside looks like an old hotel lobby, draped in mourning. Everything is black. It is the people who are interesting; you will always find something new. Punk, Two Tone, New Wave, Reggae; they are all inside. The man behind the front bar wears leather and has a shaved head, the waitress are in jeans with long tiny braids (much the style among the Reggae crowd), and the people at the back bar wear baggy suits, inch wide ties and close cropped hair. On the dance floor there are the usual assortment of strange and interesting people. Every Tuesday and Wednesday are Video Nights when the many T.V. screens spaced around the room come to life. You can usually find a live band on Friday or Saturday night. The music is loud, the people are sometimes friendly, and the beer flows freely all the time at the 9:30 Club . tor 4; Senior Council 4; Pow- derpuff 1,2,4; Sadie Hawkins Decorations 3; Oktoberfest 3.

Riehl Chris Robinson A Look At The Past It's the final year of high school. Looking back is something we'll never forget; the good times as well as the bad. Each year has added a new experience. Remember when you were a freshman, and it was the first day of school? Wondering aimlessly through the halls of Yorktown, staring in awe at the Seniors, and dreaming of the day when you would be a sophomore with a learners permit firmly clenched in your fist. As a sophomore you were no longer the last rung on the ladder. Now there were parties to attend, World Geography was a thing of the past, it was your final year of P.E., and your Drivers Ed. test was approaching as rapidly as your junior year. Everyone had told you that your junior year was a killer — and they were right! But along with studying for exams, as well as the S.A.T.'s, there were the fun times. With your most recent acquisition (your Drivers License) come additional freedom and a guaranteed ride to the away basketball games. The people who told you that, now that your junior year was over, you could relax as a senior — lied. Whatever is relaxing about choosing several colleges by searching through stacks of brochures and filling out endless applications? Choosing a career, receiving your class rank, keeping your grades up, and still having a great time is a lot to ask of an individual!!! In spite of the continous work load, we've managed to enjoy our Senior year, and looking back upon the past four years, we have discovered them to be well worth the effort.

We've experienced freshman fears, sophomore silliness, junior academic pressures, and senior slump together. What more do we need to build on? Over the years we've grown from a diffused (and confused) group of junior high schoolers into a tight, unique family, better known as the Class of '83. Our class is exceptional in its own right; we're not just another group of 12th graders. Our aver- age SAT scores went up so high that we managed to raise the entire country's average even through the other three schools went down. Our powerful and vivacious class can boast the largest Senior Council ever. The most remarkable feature that makes our class atypical is our unity. We're a relatively small group, and when something happens — everyone takes part. Our picnic turnouts, Senior Council staff and party participation are proof. When we Seniors do something, we do it up big!! Robert P. Skoff Marianne Sloan Rory Smith Valentina Smith Chae So-Sok Maurice Sobel Howard Shipley Ann B.

A Nightmare Political Theory. Essay Tests. Max Smith. Great Difficulty. Senior Course. What one word comes to mind when these things are mentioned? You guessed it — Government — that wonderful experience (A.P. Government students understand the double meaning) high school students can look forward to in their senior year. When we enter high school as a freshman, our schedule consists mostly of required subjects — P.E., English, Math, World Geography. Reaching our Senior year, however, that required number has dwindled and everyone has branched out into their various interests. With the wide variety of electives offered, from Foreign Languages to Arts, Sociology to Psychology, the stu- dents have the opportunity to explore a myriad of subjects. The exception to this is, of course. Government. Yes, English is also re- quired, but is nothing new compared to the shocker that Government is. Government is a uniting element to the Senior class. Together, we can worry about essay tests, cram for them at the library, compare election predictions, and pray for our passing grades. As they say, Misery loves company. This may frighten some underclassmen, but don't let it. Government is no prob- lem. Max Smith??? He's a pussycat!!! Robin Stewart Kevin C. Stork Francis S.

The day we are finally not children anymore but High School Graduates. And yet, we start planning for the big day so early that by the time it actually arrives it almost gest lost in the shuffle. As we sit there in our caps and gowns (ordered nine months before), we can't help remembering that wonderful day we had our Senior Portraits taken ... It was our first real Senior Activity ; the fact that it was the middle of July didn't matter. Although most of us still considered ourselves Juniors, we braved the heat and humidity and sudden summer downpours to smile and say sex for the camera. We turned up in shorts and halters with drapes and suit jackets in tow, trying desperately to look like mature Seniors. Once school opened, the pressure grew worse. Announcements were ordered before the first snowfall or even the first report cards. By November, Senior Council had found the perfect commencement spot — T.J. — and plans went full steam ahead. By the first of the year, pre-grad and post-grad parties had been arranged. By April we were either in or out of the college of our choice, and Senior Slump had set in. Some of us began to wonder if graduation was really necessary. The one event we'd been planning and working for for twelve long years was actually going to happen. So, as we sat there in pre-ordered robes, and glanced around at all the familiar faces we've known so well for so long, we begin to realize that the best things in life are those that we work at and prepare for carefully, such as friendships and graduation.

The Cats croup prepares itself for a five- course meal at Mama Leone's. 94 New York, New York: The Cats Meow Thanks to Mrs. Henkel, the Se- nior Class has been constantly on the go ... becoming cultural- ly enriched and enjoying every second it! There have been trips to the Folger Theater to see The Medieval Christmas Pageant, to Arena Stage to see On the Razzle, and to the Kennedy Center to operettas and Carmen. The year's activities were highlighted by a memorable day-long bus excursion to New York to see the Broadway extra- vaganza, CATS. The students, some still slumbering, boarded the bus at six a.m. and were on their way. Blessed with light traffic, excellent weather condi- tions, and a pedal-heavy driver, the trip was completed in a little over four hours. With three hours to kill, the group split up to take in all of the city's sites. Just about everyone went to the top of either the R.C.A. Build- ing, or the Empire State Build- ing, while others went shopping on Fifth Avenue, rode carriages through Central Park, went ice skating at Rockefeller Center, ate lunch, and wandered around in awe. After the 1:45 p.m. rendez- vous, everyone shuffled inside and was greeted by a junkyard, the setting for CATS. It was almost as fantastic as the sold- out Broadway production itself. After the show, they were off again, this time to Mama Leone's for dinner, famous for its renowned Italian cuisine. Five courses and countless calor- ies later, the busload of happily exhausted students prepared to journey back to our nation's cap- ital.

What it lacked in size, it made up in spir- it: no one could tell without peeking at the student list that it was any smaller than the others. The Junior Class Officers, President Catherine Ricks, Vice- President Debbie Maria, Trea- surer Leigh Gardner, and Secre- tary Leslie Mason, organized a Junior Class Picnic that was fun. Most participants only recall eat- ing food, listening to the Gogo's album Beauty and the Beat, and watching the cross-country team make their rounds. It was a success, and there was a good turnout. The class also went to Busch Gardens. There were no disci- pline problems on the bus; the trip lasted from seven in the morning to eleven at night, and many students slept to and from the amusement park. Juniors also had more than their share of varsity athletes and cheerleaders, as well as Madrigals and Thespians. The male lead fo the Fall production. Pillow Talk, was Alec Farr, a Ju- nior. Lisa Hogan was the Junior Advisor to the School Board. All in all, it was a good year for the class of '84; they can be sure of a great senior year next year!

You've finally made it to the big time. You're no longer last year's freshman, but next year's se- nior . You're a Junior. Now, as an upperclassman, it's your turn to harass those pesky little underclassmen, although some- times it's hard to find the time. Academically, the Junior year is a real killer. However, most Juniors will agree that the advantages of being an upper- classmen almost always out- weigh the disadvantages. Perhaps, you first realized your favorable position when you observed a sweaty sopho- more complaining to his friends: Mr. Gebhart made us run the mile and a half today! Boy, are you glad to be an upperclass- man! Or maybe you first noticed it the Monday after the Sadie Hawkins dance, as you com- pared notes with a friend. Both of you agreed that you had a great time. Just think, you got to go because you're no longer just a sophomore. 11th grade is no bed of roses. You can't goof off anymore due to that not so distant nightmare: the future. Actually, you're looking fore- ward to it. You have your heart set on that perfect college or job, but your grades have been drop- ping since 9th grade, and ... Suddenly, you spill that yel- low chemical stuff down the front of your favorite blouse. Then, too late, you realize that that History test is next period — the one you forgot to study for. For a brief moment — very brief — you wish you were a simple freshman again. But, deep down, despite the chemical and historical pressures, you're glad to be an upperclassman at last.

Last year you thought, being a freshmen isn't so bad, the people seem to like me here. (If you only knew what they really thought of you!) But now it's your turn to have those spiteful thoughts about the new freshmen. Needless to say, no sophomore misses his chance at this tradition. Though most of you all are civil and reasonably polite everyone knows your true thoughts (except the niave freshmen). The most difficult thing for sophomores to cope with this year isn't the load of school work, or whether they're getting good grades, but the possibility that you might of acted like these freshman last year. You would never say it, but next year after the freshmen have dropped their horrid title, they will once again be accept- able to the upperclassmen's so- cial list. 106 Sophomores Christina Filipcscu usos after school hours to get ahead.

After years of begging rides from Mom and Dad on Friday nights to football games and Pizza Hut, after hitching numerous rides with your idolized older friends, the great day has come for you to get your license. You have gone through a lot to get this small plastic package: an entire semes- ter of driver's education at school, the vision and knowl- edge tests to get your learner's permit, hours of driving around with a frantic mother and a cri- tical father, and then the final test down at the DMV that com- bines your knowledge, vision and skill all in one nerveracking test — drive with a sharp ex- aminer sitting next to you. Once you've convinced Mom and Dad that you can handle the car alone, you are almost there. When, after much deliberation. Dad hands the car keys over to you, a feeling of euphoria comes over you. After suppressing an urge to jump up and down, dance a jig, and yell for the pure joy of it, you calmly walk over to the beautiful car parked in the driveway. Amid many last mi- nute warnings and please to be careful; you are able to take a deep breath, relax and think about how to start the car up. Finally, you wave and smile accordingly at your worried par- ents still standing on the front porch, and after you back out onto the street, you find that you are at last on the roadway to freedom.

Final- ly it has become necessary to make a change in the school sys- tem. There have been several long, unsuccessful board meet- ings to make a decision. When a conclusion is reached, the change is to go into effect the fall of 1985, this would make the sophomores the first class not to graduate. Several ideas are being discussed; one of them is the closing of Yorktown and combining it with W-L. How do the sophomores feel about this possibility? There is no one re- sponse, but the majority dislike the idea. The thought of gra- duating form W-L, their rival school, is at best far from appeal- ing to them. The board has made many efforts to find out what the peo- ple think by sending question- naries home to aprrents, hold- ing a public hearing, and asking the students to voice their opin- ions. Still there is no answer. So while the possibilities are still being weighed, the sophomore class is left dangling.

Every- one has fears, especially you, the freshmen, coming into a big school for the first time. The fears range anywhere from being late to class to dropping lunches on the cafeteria floor. Yet, most of the fears have to do with growing up and peer pres- sure. Some of the most common freshmen fears are as follows: — not growing — not graduating from York- town — having braces for the Se- nior Prom — getting squished in the turnstile — what other people think of you — getting picked on — being late to class — burping in the middle of a test — tripping on the stairs — bumping into a big senior while turning the corner — walking out of the bath- room and someone else realizing that your zipper is down — dropping your books and papers all over the hall — leaving your lunch at home and having your mom bring it to your class — wearing the same outfit as someone else at Home- coming As you can see, being a fresh- man isn't easy. You feel as if everyone is watching and notic- ing your every move. Since you are the new kid in a new school, fears are a part of this setting. It is comforting to know that all the upperclassmen once had these same fears. Soon, you will be- come as confident as they seem to be. Now that you have finished your first year at York- town, the fears that were once very real to you unexplicably seem silly.

This year the freshman class expressed a desire to get revenge on the upperclassmen. When they were given a chance to cite their opinions, they glad- ly responded with numerous re- plies. We know how to get our kicks, we're the class of '86! This was how many freshmen responded when asked, If you could say anything to an upper- classmen, what would you say? One person took the chance to express his wit. We're not attacking your character in your absence, (as upperclassmen have been known to do) we're Revenge attacking your absence of char- acter. You people are sad- ists! wrote one freshman, put- ting his newly acquired vocabul- ary to use. One envious fresh- man wrote, Mike O'Dea, you have a nice body. You all leave me speechless! wrote another. One freshman decided to be poetic and wrote a short poem threatening all upper- classmen. Remember, he wrote, for every upperclass- man that walks tall, there's a freshman to trip you and make you fall! These unsuspecting upperclassmen un- knowingly wander into the path of a vengeful freshman. DeHaas. Debra DePuy, Marjorie Demshock, Donvan DiBari, Diane Druffol, Cynthia Druffel, Theodore Ea.

Most high school students learn of the in- famous lovers early in their freshman years. When the teacher first announces to the students; Class, we will be now reading Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare moans and groans drown out the rest of the sentence. Well, as it turns out, Shakespeare isn't that bad after all, and kids find that the Bard has something for everyone. The girls imagine what life would be like if you were in Juliet's shoes, (slippers), and to have the cutest Capulet climbing up walls and balconies to court them. When Romeo queries, But, soft, what light through yonder window breaks? missing the point completely, the boys are amazed to learn that their coun- terparts in Shakespeare's day broke a few windows them- selves. Life must not have been too bad if you got to break win- dows and have swordfights whenever you wanted, but still, you had to wear those ridiculous tights and bloomers, and speak sick love-talk to girls all day, and marry at thirteen . . . THIR- TEEN?!!! Forget it. Things are fine the way they are now. Sud- denly school looks much more appealing. After the lesson, the freshmen admit, Shakespeare can be fun! SCORE ONE FOR THE BARD.

Swan- son is great. These sayings are common in the eighth grade, but once you become a freshman the people who you couldn't stand last year are your class- mates. When you get to Yorktown it's a time to meet new friends. These friends, however, were your rivals last year. For the first few weeks of your freshman year when you go into your class, you automatically look for last year's friends and sit with them. But while entering into yousixth period class you see that you don't know anyone. Panic sets in, Oh no, what if I have to sit next to someone from Swanson? The bell rings and you still don't see any of your friends. Shyly, you take a seat next to someone who looks the least harmless. You start a meaningless conversation like. I heard this teacher is really hard! A week or two later you think, gosh, this person isn't too bad after all. Then they introduce you to some of their friends and you do the same. Pretty soon you find that there are many nice people at Yorktown even though they did not go to your school last year. By the second month of school, the freshman class seems to have meshed together to form a single group. Of course, there are still separate cliques, but not because of what junior high school you went to. ITs not clear whether it is the school spirit, the interest in meeting new people, or the need to constantly have some- one to talk to in class that brings the freshman class together, but somehow it always happens. He may be smiline now, but just wait until he takes anotner sip. Oh no, another day of school! This freshman gazes into space as his milkshake takes effect. 120 Freshmen Seidenkranz, Kathrine Sellars, Karen Seymour, John Simpson, Sherri Sitmk, Stanley Skimore, Kathleen Smith, David Smith, Kimberlv Smith, Michael Smith, Patricia Snow, William Snyder, Tracy Sobel, Chuck Sood.

An English Honors Society was created in 1981 and its popularity in- creased tremendously this year. To put pizazz into the society, numerous field trips to Arena Stage, The Kennedy Center, and The Folger Theatre were arranged. One of the most successful activities of the Honor Society was the Second Annual Medieval Arts Festival, held in honor of Shakespeare's birthday. Shakespearian enthusiasts from other area high schools came to Yorktown for this special event. Participants sang Medieval songs and were taught Medieval dance techniques. The day was full of fun for all. Some students in Mrs. Henkel's 12th grade English classes accompanied her on a trip to Ireland and England. To prepare for the trip her students studied English and Irish literature in greater depth than usual. Mrs. Per-Lee tried to bring out the potential playwriting, directing, and acting ability of many English students by hosting a creative play festival. Students wrote their own plays, which were per- formed in front of judges and then cri- tiqued. Prizes were awarded to the out- standing plays. Hopefully many more in- teresting English-related activities will be planned in the future, for English should be enjoyed by all.

Test yourself — see if you really know your administrator or teacher; match the driv- er's name with his or her method of trans- portation. Who do they belong to?

At Yorktown, Latin Honor students are the lucky members of a very active and spirited group. Headed by a strong triumverate: Brent Baxter, Quinn Paek, and Melinda Speer, the Latin Honor Soci- ety enjoys many educational and fun out- ings. About once a month they go out to dinner at Greek and Italian restaurants. On one of these occasions, they were en- tertained during dinner by Adina, the spectacular belly dancer at the Astor. During the Christmas season, the French and Math classes were serenaded daily with carols sung in Latin by cheerful students in Mr. Bell's class. Also in Decem- ber was the famous Saturnalia. Students from the entire Northern Virginia area donned their togas and stollas for a fun- filled night of Romanistic entertainment. Over Spring break. Magister Bell took a group of students to Europe for ten days. While there, they had a great time touring and eating and drinking. They went through Switzerland and France (the Riviera was the main attraction) and then the tour concluded in Rome, Italy. Every- one had an exciting time — it was a great experience for all who went! For those un- lucky people who couldn't travel to Italy, Italy was brought to them. A group of adventurous students took a Saturday trip down to see the Herculaneum exhibit at the National Geographic building. The Latin Honors Society had a very successful year, and are looking forward to taking the next batch of young initiates into their So- ciety. Latin Honors Q. Paquette D. Maria L. Yarbough C.

A special- ized section of English Honors staffs the Literary Magazine. English Honors sponsors many activi- ties to get students involved in studies. Members of the Society attended a Re- naissance Festival in Columbia, Maryland to gain ideas to better their own Festival. They sponsored a classical Concert featur- ing Marc Ramirez on violin, accompanied by Karen Reeder and Frances Tuenis. En- glish Honors has shown many movies in- cluding Nicholas Nickleby. The society initi- ates the freshman-sophomore, and the junior-senior play contests. All of their ta- lents culminate in the Shakespearean Fes- tival in May. The literary magazine is a small but dedi- cated group of students. This group of members spends its time editing and put- ting together the creative writing submit- ted by students. Led by editor, Kevin Stork, and associate editor, Melanie Cros- by, their staff tries to use their own creative talents and literary skills to present York- town's best writing in the proper limelight. Mrs. Hammond and Kevin work together to design the Literary Magazine's cover. English Honors Officers Literary Magazine Staff 132 English Honors English Honor Society B. Karydes President: M.C.

Again this year Yorktown's Eating Societies consumed huge quantities of food and had as much fun as ever. Of course, between the courses they learned something about culture, too. The Spanish Honors society, though much smaller than the French Honors So- ciety (does this mean something?) did manage to have a great year. The induc- tions dinner was full of fun and food — a very enjoyable evening for everyone. The Spanish Honors members also threw a Christmas party for themselves which was held at the president's house, as is the tradition. Steve felt lost without his girl- friend so he proclaimed his love for John while Karen thought she was a sheep. Meanwhile Liz and Mary jumped the night away and Alison forgot she had hands so she held her glass with her teeth. (The French Honors members, all of whom are quite aware of their hands, have always thought those Spanish Honors people were a little off.) One of the more sane things that the Spanish members did this year was to con- tinue to support the El Salvadorian child which their group plans to support for many years to come. They planned to sell Yorktown students to earn money for the child, as well as selling other items. The French Honors Society, headed by three nice young women and Henry Harri- son, planned many activities this year, though not all of them were as well attended as they might have hoped. Trips to the Mall to see various exhibits were interesting, if not always overwhelmingly crowded. Of course all the food-related activities were very popular, none more so than the Buche du Noel, held right before winter break. 134 French and Spanish Spanish Honors President: Liz Dailey Vice-Pres.: Julie Chalfant Treasurer: Karen Burchard Secretary: Mary Keel J.

The Business Honor Society's main objectives this year were to promote an awareness of course offerings in the busi- ness department and to encourage high academic standards in business courses. Business Honors was involved in many activities; they held a typing contest, dem- onstrated word-processing machines, supported a childrens charity and main- tained a hall bulletin board. All members had to meet high standards to be accepted into Business Honors, and most members have afternoon jobs using their business skills. All members are striving to make the Business Honor Society's second year suc- cessful. Once again the spirited German Honor Society opened up their year with yet another successful Oktoberfest. There was plenty of German food and an oompa band to provide entertainment. Many of the stu- dents danced and everyone had lots of fun. German honors has also been in- volved in many other activities; they had a Christmas party and they showed German movies after school for all those interested. All of the members also had an interesting german meal at the Old Europe Restaurant and they are making plans for a trip to Busch Gardens in June. German honors sold German candies and other German items in order to raise money for audio visual equipment and other things. All in all this year has been an eventful year for the German Honor Society. German Honor Society H. Bell j. Kramer D. Cumpston P. Krene K. Falck E. Marrison B. Grove J McGovern K. Grove ). Nurmi S.

This superior group of art students con- sisted of talented potters, painters, draw- ers, sculptors, and commercial designers. The Art Honors' members engaged in a variety of school and community projects in addition to fund raisers. Starting off the year with enthusiasm, the Art Honors' members met every Monday to work on the handmade crafts for the successful Christmas Bazaar. The purpose of the bazaar was to raise money to buy neces- sary equipment for the art department. Working diligently after school, the members painted signs for community businesses and the Great Falls District Wrestling Tournament. Art Honors' main goal was to beautify the school. Through- out the year murals magically popped up in classrooms and the gymnasium area. In the Spring, Art Honors sponsored the Art Show and submitted varied works of art to be viewed. There were frequent trips to Washington, D.C. where the members visited many art exhibits in The National Gallery of Art and The Hirshhorn. The an- nual Spring trip to another city to visit other famous museums was to New York this year. The art department added a photogra- phy division which included a large, well- equipped darkroom for the students to use. The Art Honors' sponsor and coordina- tor, Mr. Hicks, made the 1982-1983 school year fun and tremendously active. His guid- ance, along with the leadership of Presi- dent Mary Lorino helped Art Honors leave its mark of success on the walls of York- town High School. Determined to reach perfection, Mark Pennell puts on the finishing touches. Art Honors is adding up.

Tests, conventions, computer play, and fun, fun, fun movies all occupied a spot in the roster of activities. The club started the year with a lively meeting to elect officials, with a close race for each position. They quickly moved for- ward to sign up the fine team of scholars for the VCTM math contest. Yorktown scored high in all categories, from geome- try to calculas. Many senior members con- tributed to keep Yorktown high on the place list of the VMAL contest. Altogether, a fun filled, exciting, successful year was on Excellence had by Math Honors society members. The National Honors Society was again this year the largest honor society in York- town. The inductions ceremony was ex- tremely interesting compared to most in- ductions meetings, thanks to an inspiring speech by U.S. House of Representatives Congressman Ratchford. The rest of the year, however, was spent studying AP Government, English, foreign language verb tenses. Physics, Chem Study, Math, history, and other impossible courses. Of course, a considerable amount of time was spent trying to dispell the rumor that NHS members only study day and night. ’d Math Honors PRESIDENT: Q. Paquette VICE-PRESIDENT: 0 Paek TREASURER: K.

Warsaw! and Tweedledee and Tweedledum! These are just a few of the answers that helped York- town's It's Academic team along to a solid victory over Stonewall Jackson High School of Manassas and Peary High School of Rockville. Team members Bruce Fretts, Mary Fretts and Laura Burchard defeated their opponents by a score of 430 to 300 to 270. Cheerleaders, parents, and many stu- dents showed up at the NBC studios on January 15th to support the team. Hard work was responsible for this im- pressive win. The team which also in- cludes alternates Hal Pomeranz, Stacy Jonaz, Julie Chalfont, Chris Robinson, Chris Kidder, and Howard Shipley have been meeting together regularly since the spring of the previous school year in prep- aration for the January match. Along with learning foreign and state capitals, presi- dents and vice-presidents and the amend- ments to the Constitution, the team prac- tices answering difficult history, science, English, and math questions, transcribed by the sponsor Mrs. Jay from actual shows. On IFs Academic speed is almost as impor- tant as knowledge. Therefore, the team uses a buzzer system to simulate game conditions. However, the time and trouble involved in after-school practices paid off this year. At press time, the It's Academic team was scheduled to play their second match against Bethesda Chevy-Chase and Eleanor Roosevelt in April. It promises to be a tough match, but we are confident the team will do well. II ttltlD II.JJL: Bruce Fretts, sipping water during a commercial, is perfectly composed.

Yorktown students who go to the Career Center stay for 2,3, or up to 4 hours, taking advantage of an alternative education sys- tem. At the Career Center, students from all three high-schools as well as H-B Wood- lawn can learn skills that will help them find jobs later on. They can take classes ranging from fundamentals of horticul- ture to cosmetology. Career Center veterans know that reprographics is printing to laymen, and fortran is a computer language. One new program this year is the Air- Force JROTC. The Career Center offered Navy, Army, or Air-Force JROTC, but since Air-Force was the most popular choice, all were combined into one. Once a week, members of the JROTC have to wear their uniforms to school. The most popular classes offered at the Career Center are the JROTC program, auto mechanics, and data processing. Other choices include carpentry, child care, commercial art, electricity, commer- cial food preparation, masonry, photogra- phy, television production, financial ser- vices, construction, heating, air condition- ing and refrigeration, athletic training, emergency medical technology, nursing, hotel-motel management, travel and tour- ism, and child care. After a student has successfully completed a course, instruc- tors help him find a job. All in all, about 125 Yorktown students attend the Career Center. There they are able to expand their education in modern, well-equipped classrooms. The Career Center offers a unique, opportunity for Arlington County Students. Contemplating his computer cards.

The Madrigals performed many times, al- ways delighting their audiences. The Choir sang extremely well, too, though at fewer functions. Under the leadership of President DeeAnn Klassen and Director Dr. Baxter, the Madrigals had a very successful year, performing at dozens of different places throughout the year. For Yorktown they sang at Music in the Forum, the Sports Banquets, the Winter Concert, and the home basketball games. They also per- formed at a number of shopping malls, including: Crystal City and Skyline. They also sang at hotels such as the Ramada Renaissance, Tyson’s Marriot, and the Hyatt Regency. The Madrigals also sang for a number of Arlington groups and associations includ- ing The Rock Spring Women's Fellowship, the Aurora Hills Women's Club, the Arlington Republicans (Army Navy Coun- try Club), and the Arlington Rose Founda- tion. Aside from these events, the Madrigals also performed at a few special engage- ments like the Virginia Music Educators Association Convention held in Richmond 1st Soprano CHOIR 2nd Soprano (cont.) T.

The Madrigals were also asked to sing for a special WMAL taping again this year, as they have for the past few years. One of the more memorable events of the year came late in the fall. Due to bad weather they were not able to drive to their performance for the Police Department, but they did make it to their engagement, thanks to some friendly officers. They were picked up in Police cars and given a full escort complete with sirens blaring part of the way. Of course the Madrigals have worked extremely hard to achieve the level of per- formance they are noted for. In December, when their schedule was particular full, they had to have early morning practices every morning at 7 am and many, many night rehearsals, too. The Choir too has practiced hard and performed well this year. They sang for a number of area junior high and elementary schools, always pleasing their audience. At Yorktown they showed their talent at many events such as Music in the Forum and the Winter Concert. The latter was especially interesting, with a solo by Pat Robinson and piano playing by the very gifted Margaret Swoboda. 146 Madrigals and Choir Madrigals President — DeeAnn Klassen Student Leader — Heather Handerson Ass't.

Scott Drumbeats and Coronets Yorktown's band is one of the most mul- ti-faceted groups we have. Its schedule changes with the seasons and this diversi- ty shows how many talents they possess. During the football season, it acts as a marching band, playing both at the home games and the away games every week. Retiring from marching in mid-November when the football season ends, they be- come Yorktown's Concert Band. They play a variety of music, ranging from classical to modern. The concert band performs sever- al big concerts during the year; one of these is performed with the Madrigals and the choir, and another with the exchange band program. This year's exchange band was from Long Island, New York. The Jazz Lab played along with the band at all of these functions and also at the special con- cert called Music in the Forum. The President was Frances Teunis and Vice President, Karen Reeder. The Yor town band was saddened by the temp rary loss of Mr. Ramsdale after he w involved in a nearly fatal car accident. Th tragedy occured in mid-November, lea ing him in a comotose condition for fr days. Miraculously he pulled throug without neurological brain damage, ar was able to attend the winter concert. H recovery was speedy for the type injuri he received, and he returned to school work with the Jazz Lab only, because I couldn't resume a full work load. Mrs. Browne, who began substituting for M Ramsdale after his accident, continue teaching band for the remainder of tl year. Everyone was very happy and r lieved to have him back in good conditio as the band finished another successf year! 148 Band — Jazz Lab Yorktown Band has a good time posing.

Both of these groups of students interested in the fine arts have had eventful years. Tri-M is an active music honor society; it's actual name is Modern Music Masters. Tri-M members are from both the vocal and instrumental groups of the school. Tri- M has sponsored many activities this year and among these is the successful Music in the Forum. During fall inductions Tri-M inducted approximately fifteen new mem- bers, which increased the number of mem- bers to twenty-two. During the Christmas season the members held a coraling party that was enjoyed by all. Tri-M is also plan- ning to attend concerts at the Kennedy Center. Tri-M is a good way for the four musical groups (Jazz Lab, Band, Choir, and Madrigals) at Yorktown to get together and display their musical talent to each other. Members of Thespian Troupe 1515 must be extremely dedicated to the advance- ment of dramatic arts here at Yorktown. In order to become a member, you must have worked on at least two shows and have received a minimum of ten Thespian points, which means approximately one- hundred hours of quality work. Many Thespians helped in the fall production of Pillow Talk and many are in the spring pro- duction of Anything Coes. Both of these fine arts societies worked hard throughout the school year to bring a bit of culture to Yorktown. Thespian Troupe 1515 A. Bauer J. Harvey D. Bleicher S. Hemmer C. Bocock H. Iverson K.

To go behind the scenes at Yorktown's spring production of Anything Goes was like walking into another world: a world teeming over with leaping dancers, trilling singers, enthusiastic actors, and dynamic musicians. The world of drama is indeed an exciting place to be; but to survive in it, if s necessary to keep a bottle of Bufferin handy! An incredible amount of work is put into any production; with Anything Goes that amount was doubled because it was a full-scale musical with a cast of thir- ty-four actors, dancers, and singers. Choosing a play was the first thing tat had to be done. Mrs. Dickson began read- ing scripts back in July of 1982, spending hours looking for a play that would meet the moral standards of the community, and the talent ability of the students whom she hoped would be coming back out in January. Once this was done, casting be- gan. Spanning six days, the actors, dan- cers, and singers were carefully chosen. The work really began now! The produc- tion, business, and directing departments had to begin to pull things together. The physical set had to be built, and in this case, Yorktown's stage had to be turned into a two-story luxury liner with a grand staircase floating down the middle. Susie Paek, the stage manager, had with the help of a group of amateur carpenters, the job of building all this. Setting the lights was a complex affair; working out all the cues was a time-consuming job requiring special patience from the light crew. Cos- tumes were another problem because each of the thirty-four actors needed at least three changes. The drama department found them after they scrounged around the neighborhood and the Home Econo- mics room. Along with the production crews, worked the business department. It was in charge of finance, box office, and the man- agement of the house. The business de- partment' s job was to work out a budget for the lumber, costumes, programs, and production rights. The drama department received no financial aid from the school, so they have to earn their own money. With Anything Goes, $2500.00 had to be raised. About $1500.00 in royalties had to be paid to Tams Whitmark to receive the scripts and produce the musical (High Schools do not get a discount). After all that planning, coordinating and work, everyone could sit back and enjoy the results with a feeling of pride and accomplishment. The musical, Anything Goes, was a great success because everyone pitched in and helped! Heather Handerson and company rehearse with smiles. Hands up everyone — this is a stick-up!

Laura ( Trust me. ) Cassidy's magic pen produced dazzling layouts for the feature pages issue after issue. Chris ( It's all under control ) Page led his crack reporters to an all new and improved Sports page. David ( The dead- line's tomorrow? ) Lupi ran the editorial page, and Eric ( Why can't I print 'Christ- mas at the Pleasure Chest'? ) transformed a quiet, unassuming page into his own Deep Six. The editors were backed up by a large, weird staff. This included Tony and Andrew, plotting revolution in the back of the room, and the School Board specialists: At last night's meeting Sym Pace con- sumed 14 glasses of water and two Cokes. The Movie Mongers, also known as the Deep Six Boys, added glitter to the feature section and page six. Add on the Photo Finishers ( Blame it on the yearbook staff ), and the staff is complete. In the end, the staff simply adopted the reassuring motto: We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrate- ful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. The Sentry 155 A Swell Tale From The Old Wild West The town of York in the Northern Arlington Territory was a peaceful com- munity. The town was now in its annual process of printing the Grenadier Alma- nac. This book was a yearly accounting of what had happened during the year in the town. The town was peaceful until the in- famous Bailey Gang threatened to steal the books. This threat disturbed the town be- cause the Grenadier was the town's only livelihood. In answer to the threat, the town began to prepare itself for the inevitable shootout to come. Tex who was the publisher of the Grenadier, her staff, and the rest of the townspeople set about hiding the books in the Bank vault; the safest and most secure place in the town. Above the town, two mounted people stood on a cliff. “You know Nikki, looking at that town you'd think they don't have nothin' worth stealing. Listen Matt, that's where they print the Grenadier. If we get this year's volumes we'll be rich. What ever you say, but what do you need me for? I blow up trains and banks, not printing houses. You, Carrie, Dead- Eye Diane, and Margaret can handle this job. It's not going to be that easy. According to my inside men, they've moved all the volumes into the bank vault. Now that's more my style. Who d'ya have inside? Ox, the town blacksmith, and a drifter called Face. Both of them will have to be disposed of. No problem, a stick of dynamite in the forge will take care of the smith. I'll leave the drifter to Dead-Eye. Perfect, we ride in at sunset. Meanwhile, in the town everything was in a state of total confusion. The townspeo- ple were running in every direction, either trying to get out of town or barracading themselves in. Sheriff Andrew, all of the books are in the Bank. It's up to you to protect them from that Bailey Gang. No problem, Tex. I have everything under control. All that needs to be done is to make a final check of the defenses. Fine, we know they're going to be rid- ing in at sunset. That drifter Face finally broke down and gave us the information. That means you're up against a deadline, and it has to be met. O.K. Let the drifter go. The Gang will probably take care of him for us. Every- thing else will be ready in time. The Librarian came running up to the Sheriff. Sheriff Andrew, someone has taken all of my library books. Every shelf is empty. I think the School Marm took them. Take it easy, Melanie. We'll get your books back. Have you talked to Mary yet? Yes she has talked to me Mary said as she jumped from around the corner. I already told her I didn't take the books. So just don't give me any more of this stuff. I know you have them. Who else would want them? I can't stand this anymore. Take that you Hussy , Mary said as the walloped Melanie with her pointer. Now ladies, control yourselves , said the Sheriff. You'll just have to reconcile your differences on your own. I have more 156 Grenadier Staff important things to attend to. Deputy Kiet, see if you can help these ladies. Sure Sheriff , Kiet said. What's the problem ladies? Deputy, she stole my ... Now old Doc Bottum came running up. Sheriff Andrew, tell Sassy Susie that she and her Gals, Crazy Claudia and Jum- pin' Jenny, must submit themselves to my annual examination. So, what's the problem gals? That old quack, he just wants to get a better look at my gals; if you know what I mean. Sheriff, 1 must do my duty and make sure that the gals are healthy. Please, take your argument elsewhere. 1 have more important things to attend to. Karen, the owner of the Bank, now came running over the Sheriff. Sheriff Andrew, what she ild my tell- ers and 1 be doing? We can't just sit around. Karen, you Tina, Karla, and Kathryn just have to act natural. Business as usual. But we can't just stand around. Oh go and count your money. I have more important things to attend to. Eventually it calmed down enough so that Andrew could do his job. Marty, we're going to need all the guns and ammunition from your store. There is going to be a real big shootout. Help yourself. Sheriff. If there's going to be a gunfight I'm getting out of town. Where's the stagecoach driver? Brent is over in the Saloon. Thanks Sheriff. On your way over, tell Jean in the Tele- graph Office to send a message to Santa Fe. Tell them I'll be bringing in the Bailey Gang; dead or alive. Lawful examples; Deputy Monique, Deputy Kiet, and Sheriff Andrew. 'Take that you Hussey, Mary screams as she wal- lopes Melanie. Karla, Kathryn, and Tina grin devilishly as they take in more money. Doc Bottum looks after Claudia as Jenny and Susie look on sympathetically. Alright gang, it's almost sunset; let's ride. The Bailey Gang rode into town like a Texas cyclone, riding hard and fast, guns blazing. Deputy Monique and Crazy Claudia were the first to fall. Claudia fell from a stray bullet while she was tending bar. Monique did not go alone, she took Margaret with her. A stick of dynamite in the forge easily took care of the blacksmith. Ox. Oh no, the Bailey Gang, shouted Karen as they strode into the Bank. Reach for the sky, shouted Nikki. Kathryn and Karla went for their guns, but Dead-Eye Diane dropped them with ease. Next one to make a funny move gets Grenadier Staff 157 More Wildwest Heroes it, Carrie said. Tina, who could think of nothing better to do, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and wiggled around. Carrie dis- pensed with her. Alright you , shouted Nikki, open that vault. Over my dead body , Karen said. That can be arranged , Carrie said. Diane, tie her to the vault. Carrie, cov- er the door. Matt, the rest is up to you. Piece of cake; like opening a shoe box. KABOOM! The vault door blew open and squashed Karen against the wall. Dust and smoke were everywhere. Well done. Start loading those books into the wagon outside. Nikki, 1 hate to break this to you, Carrie said, But these aren't Grenadiers. They're library books. Drats, foiled again. Alright you Baileys; come out with your hands in the air. We have you sur- rounded, shouted Sheriff Andrew. From the front of the Bank Nikki could see the Sheriff, Deputy Kiet, Tex, and her staff members Michelle, Susan, Mimi, Di- ane and Kelly all with weapons aimed at the Bank. Well gang, it looks as if we are sur- rounded, but they're never going to take me alive. You all do as you will. I'm with you, Diane said. I'm with you, too , Carrie said. Me three, Matt said. The bullets began to fly. Sheriff Andrew picked off Carrie in the first volley, but Dead-Eye who was true to her aim, finished off the Sheriff. This sent Deputy Keit, Tex, and her staff running for cover. They've run off. Diane, let's get out of here. Matt, finish off the place. Make it look real pretty. Nikki and Diane ran into the street, fol- lowed by a tremendous blast that flattened them and the Bank. Matt had misjudged his fuses. Let's get out of here , Nikki said as she and Diane picked themselves up out of the dust. Not so fast, said a voice from the cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared, two figures stood alone in the street. It was the Lone Wres- tler and his faithful companion, Quinn. Go for your guns, the Masked Stran- ger commanded. Before Nikki or Diane could get their pistols from their holsters, the Lone Wres- tler had finished them off. Now Quinn, the Lone Wrestler said, the West is again safe for lawful society. High low Silver, the riders called as they 158 Grenadier Staff rode into the sunset. As the dust cleared, Sassy Susie and Jumpin' Jenny mounted, and left in search of a town with a little more excitement. Old Doc Bottum and Jean the telegraph operator sat in the Saloon and enjoyed the free drinks. The stagecoach finally left with Marty as its only passenger. Well Tex, Deputy Kiet said, I sup- pose you'll have to start printing all over again. All of your books are gone. Not really, Tex said, take a look in- side the Library. Inside the Library were stacks and stacks of Grenadiers, untouched by all the vio- lence. But where are all my library books? queried Melanie. They went up with the Bank instead of the Grenadiers. So all of this was useless , Mary said. I suppose we owe each other an apology, Melanie. I suppose we do. After reconciling their differences, Melanie and Mary left for better jobs in the relative safety of a Southern Virginia town. As for the town of York, its townspeople began the distribution of the Grenadier. The town lived happily ever after; at least until next year. Get me out of here, yells Marty as she pounds on Brent's Back. The Bailey Gang; Carrie, Dead-Eye Diane, Nikki, Matt, and Margaret. Tex, her staff, and Jean laugh wildly at the joke they pulled on the Bailey Gang. Wild West heroes; the Lone Wrestler and his faithful companion Quinn. Money, money, money, gloats Karen Grenadier Staff 159 Despite the large budget cuts in the county sports and extra- curricular programs, and smaller participation in most activities, life after school at Yorktown still continues to thrive. Despite the fact that some teams failed to carry their usual- ly strong records, most man- aged to compensate for their dwindling numbers. The wres- tling team was a powerful coun- ty and regional force, the strongest program in over a de- cade. The swim team had a terri- fic season, larger than usual as it welcomed many talented fresh- men. The cross country and track teams were small, but still ran away with many area prizes. The girls' basketball team im- proved tremendously and sur- prised everyone by shooting to the top of the district. Although the odds seem to be weakening our athletic strength, the York- town sports program is actually growing stronger. Like the sports program, Yorktown's extracurricular clubs are thriving despite declin- ing numbers. Every afternoon several classrooms are filled with the lively chatter of orga- nizations at work planning, laughing, and eating. Many clubs have grown two-fold in participation, and as old ones dwindle, new ones pop up. Even though all the odds seem to be against us, our extra- curricular life continues to fight for life. Teachers, students, indi- vidual athletes are giving their all to overcome the barriers and draw more strength, more spirit from the shrinking numbers. The Pains of Practice Practice. Practice. Practice. So often we have heard the old ad- age, Practice makes perfect. But does it? Day in and day out, Yorktown students practice for their sports, haunting the halls almost every afternoon from September to June. Wrestlers, crewmen, cheerleaders, and other players expend an incredi- ble amount of energy and time to make themselves the best they can possibly be. And yet, so much of this time and effort goes unnoticed, unrewarded. Athletics is a competitive, fickle field. One moment you're a star, the next you're on the bench. After hours and hours of grueling workouts, dozens of aches and bruises, you can be knocked from the limelight by someone who's just a little bit more perfect. What good has all of that practice done now? No one recognizes those on the bench; no one known how long you've practiced. The only one who knows is you. Why do we continue to push ourselves if there is not glory? Why do wrestlers starve them- selves before weigh-ins or crew members run fifteen times around the halls? Why do foot- ball players give those valuable summer months to run around in the heat. The answer is sim- ple. It's that old adage again. We work to be perfect, to make ourselves the best we can poss- ibly be. If no one else ever finds out, we know how hard we've worked. 162 163 Aiming Up The varsity rifle team had a very prom- ising outlook on their season. Coach Blanchard worked very hard with assis- tance from a parent, Mr. Russ Leone, to perfect the skills of the shooters. Reid Campbell, a senior, has been ranked 22nd in the Metropolitan area. This was a great honor, since only a few percentage points separate him from the best. Despite inadequate shooting con- ditions, the team managed to have a good season. The rifle range will soon be undergoing construction, so in the fu- ture more shooters will be able to prac- tice. With help from Reid Campbell, the team has completed the season up to February 8, 1983 with a record of 4-3. This record ranks the team 5th out of 11 metropolitan tames.

Soccer Falls to Expectations The junior varsity soccer team could easily have been one of the best teams ever on the basis of the skills of the players that tried out for the team. Unfortunately, like many other sports at York- town this year, their expecta- tions were not fulfilled. The team's final record was 3-6-3. The year started positively for the team. They won their first game against George Mason with a score of 9-1. This was a great confidence-building game. Following that game they tied Gonzaga with two overtimes, 2- 2. After this game the team's record fell and fell until they were faced with a large deficit to make up. Their first successful attempt to make up for their losses was their 1-1 tie against Washington- Lee. This was a great accom- plishment, for earlier in the sea- son they lost to W-L, 4-0. Unfor- tunately, it was the last game of the year. Throughout the year the team was led by captains A. Courtney and P. Peterson. The leading scorer was Haitham Halteh.

First year coach Jean-Pierre Bell had over sixty players to place in eighteen varsity spots. Despite this turn- out, the team finished with a record of 3-5-2 which as Coach Bell states is not indicitive of the team's talent or desire. The Patriots' first game seemed to set a guidline for how their season would progress. The Pats' played one of the tip- ranked Metropolitan teams, O'Connell, in an exciting game. The Patriots took a 2-1 lead in ten minutes left in the game, only to squander it as O'Connell scored two goals in the last seven min- utes to win the game 3-2. The following week, the team tied Ireton with a goal in the last few minutes, although they wasted numerous scoring opportunities. They then went on to lose in a lackluster game against Gonzaga where the Pat- riots simply never got rolling. The season was not without its bright spots as the team de- feated three opponents in a row, the first of which was Carroll. The Patriots dominated this game form beginning to end and came out with a 3-0 win. They then went on to defeat George Mason and St. Johns by scores of 4-2 and 2-0, respectively. This team was also not with- out talent. Senior goalie Joe Quinette was the best goalie in the league as he yielded a mere nine goals. This says much for the team's defense, which was anchored by sweeper Frank McKeith who was a tremendous player. Offensively, senior Steve Herrlein was the Patriot's most productive forward, as he scored five goals during the sea- son. In the mid-field Yorktown boasts one of the country's most southt-after players, senior, and Captain Todd Hitt, who was also a member of the U.S. Junior National Team. An ankle injury slowed Todd throughout the season, although he was the only Northern Virginia player to be chosen First Team All- Metropolitan.

What can you expect from a team with only twenty-three players (on an abundant day), when most other teams have rosters numbering somewhere around fifty? You can say that to even be out there competing is a feat which exhibits great heart and determination. They finished with a record of 0-6-0 in the district and 2-8-0 overall. The two wins, obviously the highlights of the season, were against formidable opponents. The first win was over O'Con- nell, an extremely talented and successful team. The Pats took it to them from the beginning and came out with a 10-7 victory. The following week they defeated Hayfield in a game where the team completely dominated, 13- 6. The team's offense was dis- appointing. With an offensive line averaging a mere 180 lbs. per player, they generally were run over. Although the passing game was bright at times, it also was too inconsistent to win games. Defensively, the team was quite good. Running out of a 4-4 (4 linebackers and 4 linemen) they often shut down the other team's running game and pro- duced some great goal line stands. Led by seniors Mike O'Dea, Mike Neal, and Darryl Collins, all of them chosen for District honors, the defensive team played respectably throughout the season. Mike O'Dea led the team in tackles (156) and was chosen First Team All District Offense and De- fense, First Team Defense All Region and Second Team All- Metropolitan.

This was a remarkable feat since it was achieved by a small and ever-changing team. According to assistant coach Brooks, The team lined up with a new backfield each game. He greatly praised the team's ability to adjust to varying personnel. The team was also immensely motivated, and played each game as hard as they could. The most exciting one was the clos- ing game against Marshall in which Yorktown pulled out a winning season with a 6-0 victo- ry- The freshmen football team, despite a large turnout, had a disappointing 2-6 season, de- feating only McLean and Oak- ton.

More than half of the games were won or lost by three points or less. On none of these occasions did they let down until the game was over. The team showed an exceptional amount of talent. The offensive backfield, featuring quaterback Tony Williams and running backs Ukie Day and Randall Pearson, supplied the main offensive power. On the other side of the line, Westley Hoach led the defensive team well until his loss midway through the season due to a broken leg. Head Freshmen Coach Larry Canard feels he has reason to be proud of his team and looks for- ward to the return of five eighth graders to next year's squad. His enthusiasm is matched only by that of the J.V. and Varsity coaches who anticipate fine con- tibutions from these players. J.V.

The remark summed up a season marked by disappointment and dashed expectations.

Also in the Districts were the numbers one and two doubles teams. The no. two team of Mary Lutsch and Chris- tina Filipescu was defeated in the first round of competition. The no. one team of Laura and Jolie DePauw reached the second round before losing. Jolie also played singles but was elimi- nated in the first round.

The moment every athlete looks to to Bring out his best. He's worked and now it's the mo- ment of truth! Is it possible to pre- dict how an athlete will feel after a performance? Of course! some say. If he plays to his best ability, he will be satisfied. If he gives it all he's got, he will be happy. If he has learned something, he will be content. Those who know say, Think again. A true athlete is only hap- py when he comes off his battle- field a winner, in the actual not philosophical sense. A true athlete tends to ignore the old saying, It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game! He is never happy to be a loser, no mat- ter how well he played or how close the match was. Close isn't winning. This is what's so special about athletics. Losing is the ulti- mate low; winning is the ultimate high, the final goal of sports. Pain is all part of the game for James Harvey. Winning and Losing 175 Rolling Into Victory The wrestlers had the best record for the most district champs, with five, and the team had an excellent season record of 12-2. Coach Brooks experi- enced his most successful sea- son, and had there been an award for the best coach, Brooks would have won hands down. The St. Stephens Christmas Tournament was an important victory. In the finals everyone had to win in order for the team to win the tournament. The team dramatically captured first place for the second year. The team's initial loss was to Robin- son, the eventual Regional vic- tor. The second and most frus- trating loss was to Marshall. The score was very close, with Mar- shall relying on a victory from the unlimited wrestler to win. Marshall won with many controversies arising from the calls by the referee. After much debate, the score was 30-26. Co-captains for the third year, Billy Grove and Steve Herrlein led their team through the Dis- trict and Regional Tournaments to the States. The team captured the District Title for the second year in a row, while in States the team was 10th over 100 other teams. They had to settle for runners-up in the Regional Tournament, losing by six points. The loss to Robinson was not too devasting since they beat the previous year's State Cham- pions, Woodson. The seniors on this year's team all had very successful sea- sons. Mike O'Dea was District, Regional, and State Champion, losing only once the entire sea- son. Steve Herrlein won Dis- tricts, Regionals, and placed fifth in State, while remaining undefeated during the season. Billy Grove was district Champ, second in Regionals. Quentin Paquette was District and Re- gional Champ. John Andruko- nis placed second in Districts, ending his season with an excel- lent record of over twenty wins. Although some of the best wrestlers are graduating, next season promises to be another excellent one for Coach Brooks and the Varsity Wrestlers.

Asked how the season went, one wrestler said, “It didn't . Their record was not something to boast of, but most of the wrestlers were freshmen, so they have a few more seasons to practice. Coach Gebhardt gave many long hours to improve the talent of a bunch of naive wrest- lers. However, despite this, a few did tend to have a successful season. Junior Richard Gram- zow displayed talent in his 119 weight class, and had some opportunities to wrestle on var- sity. Co-captain along with Richard, Jorge Duenas also dis- played some improving skills. Mike Callagher earned third place in the J.V. Tournament while Gramzo took a first and first year wrestler Chris Suss- man placed fifth. Many new wrestlers came out for the team; with a few more seasons for experience, mem- bers should excel on the varsity team.

Stacie Ross led in scoring, the 14th highest in the Northern Va. re- gion. She was also chosen for the first All-District team. Jolie Depauw was chosen for the sec- ond All-District team. The climax of their season was the team's six-game winning streak. In this streak, Yorktown soundly defeated South Lakes in a triple overtime game, after South Lakes had previously de- feated Yorktown in an earlier game. The team is looking for- ward to another winning season next year. 182 Girls' Varsity Basketball VARSITY RECORD YHS OPPONENT 65 Herndon 30 54 Madison 30 27 McLean 46 49 W-L 35 51 Marshall 43 31 South Lakes 33 50 Langley 41 45 Herndon 39 64 Madison 29 47 McLean 33 49 W-L 36 43 South Lakes 41 44 Marshall 74 46 Langley 49 10 wins — 4 losses Front row: Rosetta Wright, Stacie Ross, Pat McKnight.

Girls Basketball Shows Potential Starting this season off with a bang, the Junior Varsity girls maintained a strong lead with six wins and only three losses. But held back by lack of partici- pation and support, the seven- member team hit a mid-season slump. Although the girls work- ed very hard at practices and at games, they were not able to pull themselves back up. One of their most exciting games was when they were playing Madi- son. Three of Yorktown's play- ers were called out of the game because of fouls, reducing the team number to only four play- ers. Those four were able to single-handedly hold Madison the entire final quarter. Due to the team members' spirit and determination, they ended up with a fairly good record of eight wins and ten los- ses, and the girls are looking for- ward to an even better season next year.

Williams Hendon Madison McLean W L Marshall South Lakes Langley Herndon Madison McLean W L Marshall South Lakes Langley Langley The Boys' Varsity Basketball team suffered through a 1-20 los- ing season. At the start of the season the starters were Ho- ward Shipley, Eric Beinhart, Paul Noring, James Harvey, and Mike Arthur, but the lineup was drastically altered by the end of the season. Paul Noring lost his starting position to junior Dan- ny Swenny, but regained it later in the season, shortly after Mike Arthur sprained his ankle in the December 17 game against Herndon. Mike returned a month later to play against Mar- shall; in the following game against South Lakes James Har- vey sprained his ankle, too, and was out until the February 4 game against McLean. In spite of the fact that the team's record was hurting, due to the injuries to members of the starting lineup, spirit was high. There was a sense of unity on the team, and in spite of their inexperience (Eric Beinhart the only returning starter from last year's varsity team) and injuries, they came together. They had many close games, several of which ran into overtime, which could very easily have made a very different situation. Ironical- ly, our one win was questioned and resulted in controversy over Paul Koleda's playing eligibility (he had been in the school sys- tem for less than half a year). This year's Varsity team: Coach Price, Blaine Ballard, David Rusevlyan, Danny Sweeny, Howard Shipley, Eric Beinhart, James Harvey, Paul Noring, Mike Arthur, Andrew McLaughlin.

Unfortunately, they only won 5 of the 23 games played. With only 5 wins to their credit, the team had a very dis- appointing season. The only thing that they have to be glad about was their 2 victories over their arch-rivals, W-L. The team was led by three players throughout the year. Ande Wallace topped them off with over 200 points on the sea- son. Tony Young and Sandy Mueller were close behind; both had close to 200 points. Coached by Mr. Phillips, the team had many close games, but they usually ended up losing the game. The team has now been together for two years except for a few exceptions. Next year the varsity team will need a majority of these players, so maybe their third year together they will have a promising season. The Freshman team this year, like the J-V team, was much bet- ter than its record indicates. All of their games were close; a number of times a few points would have thrown the game the other way. The team showed their true talent at the end of the season, which they finished with a three game winning streak. All of the members can be proud of their formidable sea- son, especially Mark Brown, the team's high scorer. 186 JV — Freshman Basketball Junior Varsity Basketball W. Ford J. Henderson B. Hughes E.

JV-Freshman Basketball 187 Cross Country: A Fall Standout The Cross Country team, though blessed with talent, fell pray to the common problems of all this year's track teams, lack of participation. Still, both the girls' and boys' teams had good seasons. The boys' team won all but two of their meets during the season. The girls placed 5th of over 50 teams in a tough George- town Prep Invitational, while the boys, competing against a slightly easier field, took sec- ond. The season began for the teams in the summer, when Coach Jeter put them through their paces with two tough prac- tices a day. When school began, it got a little easier in that there was only one harder practice. Standouts on the boys' team were Jeff Gerber, Chris Kidder, and Mark and Scott Pennell. Jeff, Chris, and Mark all went to Regionals. Charlene Burstrom, Kathryn Demerest, and Lisa Bell took the first, second, and third places, respectively, in the County Meet. Mary Alice McMorrow also was outstand- ing this year.

Most track teams outnumbered the York- town team by at least two to one. Nevertheless, individuals such as Lisa Bell performed brilliant- ly, qualifying for the District, Re- gional, and State Tournaments. Other outstanding girls were Kathryn Demarest, who went to Regionals while easily breaking the school's 1000m record, and Mary Alice McMorrow, who reigned in District high jump. Unfortunately, her regional de- but was cut short by a head inju- ry. For the boys, the mile relay team of Brian Pearson, Alan Epperson, Scott Pennell, and Paul Gujural also were forst in Districts but were disqualified in the Regionals for a false start. Sophomore Brent Saudauskas qualified for Regionals by plac- ing fifth in the District high hur- dles and Senior Mike Neal quali- fied by placing fourth in the Dis- trict shotput. The Girl's team looks forward to an even stronger team next year while the Boy's team will seriously miss the talent of gra- duating Seniors.

Indoor Track 189 The Wet Look The swim team swam circles around their opponents this sea- son, winning five meets and los- ing only one by a few points. They outswam their opponents in fiv£ winning meets by an av- erage of 76 points per meet. Un- fortunately for the swim team, many of the best swimmers chose not to compete in the Dis- trict meet in order to save strength for important nonhigh school meets. Those who chose to do this were not eligible to compete in regionals, and thus Yorktown did not place as high as expected. In the District meet they placed fifth out of eight teams. In spite of this, the swim team, lead by co-captains Witt- Dudley and nationally ranked Kiersten Dunbar, can boast a quite satisfying season. Even though the Diving team was plagued by a rather small turnout, they had a successful season. Juniors Jenny Hooper and Alan Lanois were the most outstanding divers. Jenny dove her way to regionals and was awarded 12th place. Be- cause of lack of coaching staff. Junior Joanne Skinner forfeited her diving season to act as di- ving coach for Yorktown. She did an excellent job, and as one swimmer commented, All the divers learned and improved a tremendous amount.

During football season, they appeared on the fields marching precisely in place, carrying blue and white flags to the rythm of the band. When basketball sea- son started, however, off came the blue and white, replaced by such outfits resembling wester- ners, punk-rockers, and fifties girls. During half-time they came out and performed enter- taining dances that were results of their hard work and dedica- tion. All of this skill required hard work. The drill team started practicing in the middle of the summer. In the latter part of July, they attended camp, which is mandatory, at the Uni- versity of Richmond. There, they learned dance routines and stunts which they were later able to use while performing during football and basketball seasons. Besides camp, the drill team also performed in the Yorktown Bicentennial in Yorktown, Vir- ginia, Walt Disney World and Sea World in Florida, and the Arlington Spring Parade. Slop L to R) C.

All squads devoted much of their time sell- ing ads, painting banners, sell- ing tickets and selling programs, not to mention the many hours devoted to practices and games each week. Varsity Captain and Co- Captain Susan Andrews and Katie Farrell respectively, led their squad starting early in the summer, teaching cheers and forming pyramids, with two or three practices every week. At the end of July, the Varsity and Freshmen squads, with their sponsor Mrs. Arvil Hughes, went to an N.C. A. (Na- tional Cheerleaders Association) camp, in Richmond, Virginia for three days. Their schedule con- sisted of learning cheers, forma- tions, and dance routines from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Many had mixed emotions about it, but were glad they went because they got so much out of it. From September to March the cheerleading squads devoted themselves to Vorktown's sports. Starting with football, into boys and girls basketball, right into wrestling, they were there, to cheer our teams onto a victory. Front: A. Ball Middle: S. Fliakas, A. Ballard, S. Simpson, C.

Lead by President Beth Bickley, the fourty-eight Zetons have provided many services for the benefit of the school and the community. Around school and around town, Zeta is known for its ser- vices. Around Yorktown, Zeta is very active. This year they decorated lockers and baked goodies for the varsity Football and Basketball teams. For the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and the Senior Rummage Sale they provided refreshments. Zeta also sup- ported its members who were participat- ing in the Close-Up program with a 5100 donation, and participated in the Thanks- giving Food Drive. In the community, Zeta also had many activities. They participated in a Walk-A- Thon for the benefit of the Juvenile Di- abetes Foundation, sang for the elderly at Powhatan Nursing Home, and babysat at the Dewry Mental Health Center. Zeta has also answered telephones and helped out at the WETA telethon, and worked with the Special Olympics. Around Yorktown and the community, Zeta has been very active. With such a large number of members, Zeta has plenty of energy to devote to the service of others. 194 Zeta Dede Simmons asks, Why Me? The Service Bug is catching in Zeta at Yorktown. Go away!

Both of the clubs, who are affiliated with the Kiwa- nis clubs, work hard to raise money for needy causes and to better the county. The clubs' services strive to maintain the high standards of the service clubs at Yorktown, while balancing the giving and sharing with fun and friendship. The Key club is one of Yorktown's largest clubs. With thirty-seven members, there is plenty of room for service. This year, the Key club began a new service: an aluminum can drive for the benefit of the Ronald McDonald House. Other Key club services were the coloring book sale, the peanut sale, and the oyster roast. All of these were tremendously successful. Lead by President Andrew Laughlin and Facul- ty Advisor Mr. J. Phillips, the club has recovered from the loss of many Senior members from last year and has regained its size and stature. Small but spirited, the Keyettes have outdone themselves again this year. Lead by President Tina Smith and Faculty Advi- sor Ms. Ratchford, the club has put much effort into performing services for others. This year's activities include raising money for the Special Olympics, the Nation Hos- pice, and the Sudden Infant Death Syn- drome Fund. They have also worked with the Daughters of the American Revolution in preparing toys for handicapped chil- dren at Christmas, and decorated the Arlington Hospital Pediatric Ward for several holidays. In the school, the Key- ettes assisted with the International Dinner, were guides at Back-To-School-Night, and ushered at two plays. Unlocking the doors to service with fun and friendship are what the Key and Keyette clubs strive to accomplish. They work hard to maintain the high standards of the service clubs at Yorktown and the reputation of the school in the community. Way to go Key and Keyettes! KEYETTES President — V.

Stellae's 18 members, led by presidents Jenny Adler and Susan Andrews, partici- pated in many charitable activities benefit- ting both the community and school. They contributed to Career Research and are Friends of the National Zoo. At school, Stellae supported the boys' soccer and gymnastics teams. For Thanksgiving and Valentines Day, the club sold cupcake grams. The most well known Stellae activi- ty was the Rice Krispy Treat sales at the ramp, which were greatly enjoyed. Alpha, the only freshman club at York- town, helped familiarize students with their new surroundings. Alpha sponsored a Thanksgiving food collection, for Arling- ton County Police Wives' Clubs and had bake sales to help support a foreign child through the National Christian Children's Club. Alpha worked with the Red Cross by helping with the Special Olympics and visiting patients in Arlington Hospital.

However, without Kappa, some Close-Up Club members wouldn't be able to participate actively in the Close- Up program. Each Close-Up member must have a sponsor to enable him to take part in the political action. Kappa sponsors a number of the Close-Up members. Close-Up is an unusual educational ex- perience. For a full week, in our Nation's Capitol, students participate in an intense, first-hand study of our government. In question and answer sessions, senators, representatives, reporters, lobbyists, and other newsmakers talk about what they do, and where they stand on national issues. By asking questions, students get the direct experience needed to learn and get involved in government. Also, there is a “free day included in the week on Capi- tol Hill. On this free day students get a chance to meet with members of Congress or attend House and Senate committee meetings. The Close-Up Club was created this year to help publicize the Close-Up program, and help interested students get the needed funds to attend. For those that can- not attend, the club provides political and community-related activities. These activi- ties of the 1982-1983 school year include: a breakfast with Arlington County Board Members, a Great Issues Day, and a Com- munity Beautification Project. The club hopes to set a precedent for the years to come and help get politically in- terested students a chance to learn more about government. After all, the govern- ment is a big part of our lives. Kappa started off its year with the tradi- tional wild times of initiations. Awakened at 3:30 a.m. and subjected to merciless ordering by big sisters, most of the Kappa Kuties didn't know WHAT was going on. Although at times it was debatable, every- one had an abundance of fun. On November 2, 1982 dedicated Kappa members arrived at Yorktown bleary-eyed to serve coffee to the voters from 5:45-7:15 a.m. Kappa represented the American Cancer Society and sponsored Yorktown for the National Smoke-Out Day. Kuties helped Yorktowners send Hallo- ween Howl to friends, teachers, and secret pals by sending Halloween grams. The money that Kappa made from the grams was donated to the Ronald McDonald house. Kappa also sent flower grams in celebration of Spring. In January an Alum- ni Tea was held in honor of the visiting former members of Kappa. Kappa cheered their teams on to victory this year. The dinner for the cross-country team included good times for all. The club showed its devotion for the wrestling team by decorating the members' lockers with witty signs and wishing them the best of luck. Later in the year Kappa supported the Yorktown baseball team and the boys' tennis teams. This year was an outstand- ing year for Kappa Kuties.

Both of these clubs have been quite active during the year be- cause of the November elections. The Teenage Republicans' main effort was working in the re-election campaign of Frank Wolf. They were successful as the congressman was victorious over his Dem- ocratic challenger. The Young Democrats sponsored a ma- jor attack to coax voters to the polls. It would seem that this was a success, as many local people did actually vote. A few Democrats also worked for the campaigning Democratic nominees. Both clubs have had quite an enjoyable and productive year. Teenage Republicans President — Laura Filipescu Vice President — Nikki Bailey Secretary — Eric Sosnitsky Treasurer — Chris Delashmutt A.

Sometimes the clubs get a little too active, but everyone has a good time. Big clubs and many activities mean a lot of fun. Yorktown's Ski club had a few prob- lems. On their Christmas trip to Snowshoe they had rain and no snow. Instead of skiing they spent their time swimming in the hotel's indoor pool, dancing at the dis- co, and participating in many other rec- reational activities. At the end of the trip, many members were thrown out of the club for enjoying a little too much recre- ation on a school sponsored trip. The Ski club also sponsors many day trips to near- of Fun Rolling by ski resorts. The second of Yorktown's sports clubs is the Gymnastics club. The gymnasts meet every Monday evening to practice and learn new gymnastic stunts. The club wel- comes anyone who is interested in gym- nastics or physical fitness. The functions of the club are to provide instruction, enter- tain audiences at athletic events, and at the end of the year they produce the Magic Circus , a gymnastics show. The Circus is the big finale for the club's successful season. These big clubs have many activities that are a lot of fun for their members.

The Dis- tributive Education Club of America, works to strive for business leadership; and the Hiking and Camping club works to relieve the tensions of everyday society. The Distributive Education Club of America is a national organization to de- velop future leaders in marketing and dis- tribution. It is composed of 2,400 local chapters; Yorktown's DECA consists of 42 members. Their activities range from fund- raisers to fashion merchandising trips to New York City. The club is designed also, to help in vacational understanding pro- cess, civic consciousness, social intelli- gence, and leadership development. The Hiking and Camping club, on the other hand, provides a wide variety of en- tertainment for its members. The main purpose of the club is just to get away from it all. The club relaxes to a very loose agen- da on weekend trips to Old Rag Mountain and Assoteague. Also they take day trips to Riverbend to enjoy leisure afternoon picnics. These two clubs show the variety among Yorktown's students' interests. Not only are they willing to succeed in the business world, but also they are willing to enjoy and experience nature. Paul and his friend are amazed at the beauty of na- ture. The Hiking and Camping club are on a leasure picnic at Riverbend. DECA 206 Hiking and Camping Distributive Education D. Adams T. Nichals V.

DECA 207 It’s Their Business Together the members of Vocational Office Training club and Future Business Leaders of America make up the vast majority of Yorktown's entrepreneurs. These motivated students prepare them- selves, with the help of their sponsors, to enter the competitive modern-day busi- ness world without even a hint of trepida- tion. The Vocational Office Training club (VOT) is a program in which the members learn to excel in the business world through actual work experience in an office environment. VOT also provides vocational training in a variety of fields. Mrs. Booth is the outstanding coordinator that continues to lead the students. The activities that took place this year were: fund raising projects, social functions, and an end-of-year appreciation luncheon to honor the supervisors that trained VOT's members for their jobs. The Future Business Leaders of America club (FBLA) is one of the most popular clubs of Yorktown. The fifty members of FBLA joined together to make all of their activities a success. Led by two-term presi- dent Teresa Avery, FBLA made a smashing success out of all functions. The annual installation supper started off the year just right. Throughout the year pot luck suppers, typing contests, field trips, luncheons, meetings, and award cere- monies were held. The FBLA members also went Christmas caroling in neighbor- hoods and hospitals, donated to charities, participated in leadership conferences, and maintained the FBLA bulletin board. Mrs. James and Mrs. Booth are the spon- sors for this successful club. Both VOT and FBLA have assisted the community and Yorktown High School a great deal. In addition to these aspects, Yorktown is sending fully prepared young adults out into the business world. FBLA members gel down to business. VOT women show their business manners.

Vazquez Politics And Picnics The Student Association (SGA), along with the freshman, sophomore, and junior class officers displayed their superb lead- ership abilities throughout the entire year. With the assistance of the administrators and the faculty, the activities sponsored by SGA were a great success. Yorktown's su- perior group of class officers planned their annual picnics and had fantastic turnouts. SGA's year began with the traditional Homecoming Weekend. The fun-filled Fri- day afternoon brought Oktoberfest fol- lowed by the Homecoming football game. At half-time the football fans were able to view the candidates for the Homecoming King, Queen, and their court. The next evening the dance was held under the stars in the packed cafeteria. Also this year SGA sponsored a success- ful Toys for Tots drive. In March SGA co-sponsored the International Dinner with the PTA. The theme for this year's dinner was Love Makes The World Go Round . The representatives and the fac- ulty joined forces to make 1983 a very pro- ductive year. The freshman, sophomore, and junior classes have shown an abundance of school spirit at dances and pep-rallies. The freshman class officers helped paint the murals and decorations for Homecoming. The representatives helped the officers regularly and participated whenever possible. The president of the freshman class, Mark Brown, attributes their success to the help of Mrs. Murtaugh, their sponsor. The sophomore class displayed their school spirit and generosity when they won the school-wide Toys for Tots con- test. In order to raise money for their class, the sophomores sold Yorktown Patriot Key Chains. Money was a necessity for the trip to Hershey Park that took place in late May. In addition to the fall picnic at Bluemont Park, the junior class had an enjoyable time at Busch Gardens. They also planned a class ski trip, a swim-picnic at Dominion Hills, a junior class dance, and another area park picnic. By selling Patriot Bears, the class raised money to increase gradua- tion funds. Both SGA and the class officers led the Yorktown students through an exciting year.

Polish Freedom The promise of freedom was made: at year's end, the martial law imposed one year ago, late in 1981, would be lifted. The promise was kept ... almost. The lock was opened, but the chains remained. The Polsih people were subjected to even further restriction by new gov- ernment laws. Police trucks, armored vans, and soldiers still fill the streets. Solidarity seems only a shadow. In Gdansk, the birthplace of Solidarity, Lech Walesa, released from eleven months of government deten- tion, still remains unnaturally quiet and subdued, by choice or by force. The protest is faltering. The time has come to clear up certain issues and act toward a national agreement. said Wale- sa. With good will we are bound to find a solution. Freeze Is On Among all the various world causes that dominated the news this year, one common cry rang from every corner. It is time to control the weapons and pre- vent the destruction of man- kind. The movement against nu- clear weapons began quietly back in 1979 with private preaching and small demonstra- tions. Anger and fear and deter- mination have been growing though, pushing the movement beyond its traditional limits. This past year, the Nobel Prize for Peace went to two dedicated diplomats, virtual unknowns, who have campaigned hard for nuclear disarmament. The win- ners were Swedish sociologist Alva Myrdal and Mexican diplo- mat Alfonso Garcia Robles. The movement seems to have taken hold of everyone. Most demon- strators are young, but old par- ticipate as well. Countries all over the free world see rallies regularly. The hint of death and destruction seem to hang over the solemn gatherings; banners bear such slogans as; Today's Children are Tomorrow's Dead. A New Leader It was sudden; it was unex- pected; it may change the course of history. In early November, Russia changed hands. Leonid Brezhnev, the ruler of the Soviet Union for 18 long years, died un- expectedly. Russia stood at a near standstill, in deep mourn- ing for several days. A new lead- er was soon appointed — Yuri Andropov, a former chief of the KGB who has a successful histo- ry in crushing religious, intellec- tual, and national dissents. Andropov worked his way up from humble beginnings to the top of the Communist Party. He received special recognition for his role as ambassador to Budapest in the brutal Soviet suppression in the Hungarian revolt of 1956. Despite the fact that he is the first ruler to be so closely assoicated with the KGB and political history, the West is hopeful, believing that Andro- pov will be more flexible than Brezhnev. Many believe he is eace, Be closet liberal or at least an en- lightened conservative. Either way, he is an unknown variable. ,v , i War in Lebanon A lingering crisis haunted the news of the past year: the war in Lebanon. It began when Israeli forces invaded Lebanon on June 6,1982, claiming revenge for the June 3 attempted assassination of Sholomo Argov, Israeli Ambassador to Great Britian. The crime was blamed on the PLO. Some, however, believe the assault was long-planned. By June 10, forces were attacking Beirut by the day. A PLO eva- cuation of the city began on Au- gust 21, the same day U.S. Marines arrived as part of the multi-national peace-keeping force. The Lebanese took over the city, but by September 14, it was back in Israeli hands after Ends Lebanese-elect was killed by a bomb. The Israelis triumphed over the PLO, the Lebanese and Syrian forces, but at quite a loss — the loss of many innocent lives. The worst, however, was committed by the Lebanese. On September 15, members of the Lebanese Christian militia en- tered several Palestinian refugee camps and began killing, slaughtering, mutilating. Over 800 civilians lost thier lives. Israelis stood by, yet claimed no part. It was later determined, however, that the Israelis forces had permitted the Lebanese to enter the camps. The idea of such a massacre was never anti- cipated. Royal Baby Out of the storybook romance was born a storybook prince. While millions of Englishmen and lovers of royalty around the world waited in suspense, Diana gave birth to a prince. The world was forced to wait again as Charles and Diana debated over names. Bookmakers throughout London took bets on the name, with George and Charles emerging as favorites. Finally the names was announced: William Arthur Phillip George. 215 From Pills to Bombs ... Trends In Terrorism Deadly Drugs For years people have relied on their neighborhood drug stores for a variety of everyday needs. Their confidence was shaken however, by the threat of an “over the counter terrorist. The routine pur- chases of products became a type of Rus- sian roulette with drugs. During a span of five days several unex- plained deaths ixxured in the Chicago area. Though there was no connection at first, after investigation it became apparent that Extra Strength Tylenol was the culprit. This was confirmed by tests which showed high levels of cyanide in the blood streams of the victiijis. After solving the first mystery of these deaths, an even greater mystery evolved. How and Why was there cyanide in a com- mon pain reliever? The possible answers to this were unlimited. Chicago police search- ed for the answers. After ruling out an accident in the plants, it became more likely that random bottles were bought, con- taminated with cyanide, and then placed back on the shelves. While police searched desperately fora definite solution, Tylenol products all over the country were removed from the shelves of drug stores. Johnson and Johnson made a nation wide recall of two batches of Tylenol which investigators had found to be contaminated. Such an act of random murders had a great affect on the American consumer. As this news spread, a sense of panic seemed to envelope the country. Poison-Control Centers all over the nation were flooded with phone calls from terrified citizens. Over-the-counter sales dropped, and Halloween brought disappointment to many children. Parents, petrified by the thought of poison, razor blades, and other killers, cut trick of treating down drastical- ly, if they allowed it at all. The loss of seven innocent lives made Americans realize their vulnerability to this type of terrorism. Due to this realization many steps were taken to decrease the chances of a similar incident happening again. Many manufacturers now require their products to be placed in tamper proof containers. They hope that precau- tions like this might restore some of the consumers' confidence in their products and start sales climbing again, or possibly save a few lives. Monumental Terror For the past several years there has been much discussion over the topic of nuclear arms. Many people feel that the United States and the world should reduce or stop A I M| | • v the making of nuclear weapons. Protests are very common in the district. December the 8th, however, was not a common day for the D.C. area. At 9:45 am police were notified that a man was threatening to blow up the Washington Monument in an attempt to compel nuclear disarmament. The man was dressed in a Darth Vader type outfit and claimed to have a 1,000 pounds of TNT in his van parked on the monument grounds. His demand was to have the congress vote against the nuclear missile. If his demand was not met he threatened to ignite the explosives. Uncertain as to whether the man actually had explosives or not, several precautions were necessary. Buildings and streets in the area were evacuated. The number of terror- ists were unknown. They did know. however, that one of them was 66 year old Norman D. Mayer. Mayer lived in Miami but had been in Washington for the past three months. While he had been in D.C. he marched in front of the White House almost daily to protest against nuclear arms. Later in the evening the van started pulling away and was shot at by the police. The van over turned and Mayer was shot and killed. Another man was believed to be seen running into the monument. The monument was flooded wjth canisters of tear gas, but no one was found. Mean while police carefully inspected the van still un- sure if there were explosives or not. Al- though trained dogs responded positively to the packages in the van, it turned out there were no explosives at all. Though police regained possession of the monument without any by-standers get- ting hurt, it still had a big impact on people. The thought of a previously stable man threatening a public monument and several hostages, worried many people. They feared that other protesters might take similar actions due to the publicity this inci- dent received. Though many people sup- port the right to protest, they fear people are taking advantage of it and going too far. School Under Siege Lately there have been several crimes re- lated to disagreements between teenage couples. Lake Braddock school was the scene for one such crime. November the eleventh James Stevens walked into the school with a 22 caliber rifle and took ten hostages. What was his demand? He wanted to talk to his girl friend. During the time of the incident, the school was putting on the play Oklahoma . Several students had fake guns to use as props in their play, because of this it went unnoticed when James Stevens walked in with a real rifle. While no one was hurt, he fired several shots into the ceiling. After holding the hostages for 24 hours, Stevens turned him- self in. Stevens was sent for mental evalua- tion and awaited trial in jail. Terrorism 217 National News Congress Ducks Anxious to get many items out wrapped up be- fore their replacements took over, the lame ducks of the 97th Congress spent many late nights in filibus- ters over controversial issues. The major problems included legislation on rais- ing the 4c gas tax to 9c begin- ning in April. This tax would be used to create new jobs and repair the country's ail- ing highway and transport systems. The old-favorite budget problem was also on the agenda. Although they specifically came back to pass the budget, too many filibusters and other com- plications forced them to eventually lump 80% of all government spending into a piece of legislation called a continuing resolution. A jobs program was also attached to this resolution, but under Reagan's threat of veto, this was soon dropped. More problems followed. The group finally ad- journed, reluctantly, to make way for the new 98th Congress to step in. QUACK! Economic Problems The American economy is a problem that has been plaguing us for years. It is reaching the crisis level rapidly. And no matter what the Administration does, it never seems to get signifi- cantly better. The national debt is over $1,200,000 with no improvement in sight. The deficit has been grow- ing for decades and con- tinues to skyrocket. One of the country's worst prob- lems is unemployment. In a report released in Decem- ber, 1982, the Labor Depart- ment reported that nearly twelve million people were jobless last year, unable to find work of any kind. The rate now stands at 10.8% the highest figure since 1940. The hardest hit were teena- gers and blacks. Honoring the Vets Compromise on Course It took them more than ten years to get it, but the thousands killed in Vietnam finally received the recogni- tion they deserve when the new Vietnam War memorial was dedicated in November. America is finally beginning to separate the war from the warriors. 15,000 veter- ans converged on Washing ton on the dav the black gran ite wall inscribed will 57,939 names of those los was dedicated. It is proba bly, one veteran said, tht single most important stef in the process of healing anc redemption. When America's voters went to the polls on Election Day, 1982, they had one thing on their minds: Com- promise! Searching for sta- bility in an almost perilous economic situation, the na- tion returned to the safety of the center. The Senate is still comfortably Republican, but the House is very comfort- ably Democratic. In addi- tion, many conservative Re- publicans and Liberal Democrats were replaced by party moderates. The voters do not want to stay the course, nor do they want a complete turnaround, but change is necessary. The two parties must work together to get anywhere. Most governorships and state legislatures are now Democratically controlled. The new 98th Congress which convened in January is more liberal than its pre- decessor, more skeptical about the economy. Some changes should be down the road. It's time for all of us to do some compromising. 218 National News Kennedy Drops Out In early December of 1982, Senator Edward Kennedy announced that he would not follow in his late brothers' footsteps again. I will not be a candidate for President of the United States in 1984, he told a dis- appointed, but not asto- nished crowd. Worn out by family pressures, shadows of Chappaquiddick, and fear of further assassination, Kennedy surrendered to the wishes of his family and bowed out of the political limelight ... for now. The Democratic race is now wide open with, among others, former Vice President Wal- ter Mondale and former astronaut John Glenn paw- ing at the gate. The next nominee is anybody's guess. Strike In late January of 1983, part of America's mobiliza- tion, stopped. One of the country's independent truckers' union called a strike, a protest against the new five cent gas tax and us- er's fees to take effect in April. The protesters claim that such financial demands will prevent independent truckers from making a sub- stantial living. Striking truckers eventually gave up, but not without violence. A Step for Mankind As the Space Shuttle Col- umbia took off on its fifth flight in November, 1982, it opened a new era in space travel by carrying cargo into the earth's orbit. For the first time a piloted ship suc- ceeded in launching earth satellites. These state of the art transmitters will pro- vide thousands of new channels for relaying infor- mation through space. Four crewmen piloted the flight, doubling the passengers of previous missions. The first space walk in nine years was originally planned for the November flight, but faulty pressure suits and support packs delayed it again. The five-day mission did give astronauts time to perform several new experiments, though, including the effects of zero-gravity on metals, fluids, and the growth of sponges. Officials still claim that day is not far off when the Shuttle will car- ry ordinary passengers as well as equipment. The countdown has begun. DeLorean Deals As the War Memorial was going up, an empire was crashing to the ground. It seemed like something General Hospital would produce: a handsome auto tycoon, his beautiful young wife, a fast-paced life, and a million dollar drug bust. But this was no soap opera, it was the maniacal story of John de Lorean — auto- mobile wonder-boy and cocaine pusher. After con- vincing the government of Britain to lend him over SI 50 million to build stainless steel sports cars, it was dis- covered that he was secretly bankrolling a multi-million dollar cocaine deal in order to save his faltering company. L Mechanical Heart Pumps Life Well, we have artificial foods, computers that think for themselves, and now we have the heart that keeps it- self beating, an artificial heart that makes the vital difference between life and death. When doctors at the University of Utah Medical Center replaced retired den- tist Barney Clark's dis- eased, dying heart with an air-driven, plastic man- made model, not only was medical history made but a dream, a fantasy was real- ized. Man and machine can work together as one. 219 Teen Issues One of the most jarring ex- periences that high school stu- dents must go through is the rapid change to many mwe re- sponsibilities from relatively few: not only responsibilities to themselves, and their friends, but responsibilities to society. This includes getting involved in many national issues that they will have to make decisions on before too long. Among these are issues that concern them even now, such as the abortion, drinking age, ERA, draft regis- tration, and student aid issues. Abortion has been a very con- troversial issue for the past dec- ade, and is now no closer to res- olution than before. In fact, the issue may be even more compli- cated now with more groups ex- pressing their viewpoints. But still the oldest arguments re- main the strongest. Anti- abortionists feel very strongly that abortion is a form of mur- der, the taking of a human life. They feel that man should not play God by taking the life and death decision into his own hands. Pro-abortionists argue for the rights of the mother; it is her right whether or not to have the child, especially if it might endanger her life. Sometimes, as in the case of rape, incest, or birth defects, the bearing of the child may be of great stress and emotional strain. The decision to make abortion illegal is a very difficult one, in- deed, and probably will not be resolved in the near future. In 1982, Maryland raised its drinking age to 21; Virginia is now trying to fall in line. This seems to be a national trend that is reversing the decisions of twenty-seven states who low- ered their drinking ages fol- lowing the ratification of the twenty-sixth amendment, which lowered the voting age to eighteen. Over the past decade, research has been done which points an accusing finger at teenage drunken drivers. With this evidence, concerned groups have gotten the age limit raised in fifteen states. Most raised the legal age to nineteen. They were most concerned with keeping alcoholic beverages out of the hands of high school students. But still the controversy is un- resolved. If an eighteen year old is old enough to vote and be drafted, isn't he old enough to drink? That's the argument that originally lowered the age re- quirement. It would seem that most adolescents are not old enough, for even many adults don't know how to handle it. The problem lies within the American culture itself. Until a certain age, children are forbid- den by law to touch alcohol. This only works to breed desire. Then should the U.S. abolish the drinking age altogether? If so, it would cause great initial prob- lems of abuse, but eventually we might become mature enough not to abuse it. Who knows? We may become as well adapted as Europe. But then we must re- member that Europe and Amer- ica are inherently different in culture. With the rise of fundamental- ist religious groups such as the Moral Majority has come the question of in-school prayer. These groups feel that the coun- try is dropping in morality, faith, and family spirit. They also believe that school prayer would alleviate these problems. There have been many propos- als to run an in-school prayer program. One is to have a state- written non-denominational prayer that all students would recite. Another idea would be to have a non-structured prayer time in which the students may exercise whatever religious pro- ceedings their religion requires. A third would be an early release for students to go to their place of worship for services. A strong argument against these pro- grams is contained in the Bill of Andrew McLauchlin, junior Catherine Ricks, junior Mary Alice McMorrow, Freshman Chris Robinson, Senior I'm against ERA, but 1 do believe that men ana women should have an equal opportunity to move ahead. If they're old enough to be drafted I can't see school prayer, person they're old enough to drink . . at least I don't believe they could do it sc beer. I don't think young people know body's religion would be offended, the dangers of [hard] liquor and it's My moral principles oppose abor- tion, but anti-abortion law's are an in- fringement on the rights of others. t V 220 Rights, which specifies a separa- tion of church and state. York- town students may not have to worry about a prayer time in school, but they will have to make responsible decisions which will affect how their chil- dren are brought up. Quite an uproar was raised by the Reagan administration's federal budget proposal due to a drastic cut in student aid pro- grams. It comes at a time when college costs are skyrocketing and admissions are falling due to increased costs of higher edu- cation. Total cuts added up to about two billion dollars. Money for direct student loans, work study, and similar grants was cut in half. Pell grants were cut by almost a million dollars. This came after promises by the ad- ministration that cuts would be resisted. However, it is possible that a tuition tax credit may be introduced to Congress. This would be a great help to the par- ents of students who plan to continue on to college or voca- tional school after their York- town days are over. In 1980, the government de- cided, as part of its national de- fense buildup, to reinstate the draft, in a diluted form. They decided that in order to be ready for a national emergency, we should have the draft ready. In order to do that, they started registration. Within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday, all male citizens must register for the draft. That way the draft would be ready to go im- mediately when it was needed. Many protested, and many r i 'The students in the area suffer the most from the distribution of student aid because of our high cost of living. I wish 1 knew more about who's getting all the money. more refused to register, con- vinced that they were safe, that the government would not do anything. The Justice Depart- ment did prosecute, and judges Student Aid (in billions ) cial interpretation and review on a case-by-case basis is all that is needed. Neither plan is really 1571 73 75 77 7« 81 8J 85 upheld the registration. Also pertaining to registration, the question has been raised about whether women have to regis- ter. It was argued by some that because registration was by sex, it was unconstitutional, but it has been upheld by the'courts and continues on. The proposed Equal Rights Ammendment to the Constitu- tion has caused quite a stir over the last few years. When intro- duced a few years ago, it came within a small number of state of being ratified. It was granted an extension in time, but still it did not pass in enough states to be- come official. Those who are for the ammendment say that we need the ammendment to insure equal treatment under the law. They feel that existing laws are not enough to protect against discrimination by sex. Oppo- nents of the bill contend that ex- isting legislation is enough to adequately protect everyone's rights. They feel that only judi- much better than the other, and that is where the controversy lies. There is not a right and a wrong to choose from, only dif- ferent ideas which are equally adequate. The office of Health and Hu- man Services (HHS), in Febru- ary of 1982, called for a regula- tion that would require the par- ents of a minor girl who has re- ceived federally funded con- traceptives to be notified within ten days. Marjory Mecklenburg, head of the Office of Adolescent ERA VES FAILURE IS IMPOSSIBLI 'No Self Res me ting Woman Should Wsh Or Work For the Success of a Party That Ignor s Her Sex IN The contraceptive laws are ridicu- lous; they will increase teenage pregnan- cy rates ... and even those girls brave enough to ask for contraceptives will have to face unwanted and unnecessary strain at home. Terry Kirby, Sophomore 1 feel draft registration is o k. because we need to always be ready and strong in case we ever nave to go into a war again. Pregnancy Programs at HHS and author of the rule, feels this proposal will help break down the barrier that separates parent from adolescent. Also it seeks to reduce adolescent sexual ac- tivity in the long run, thus re- ducing teenage pregnancy. The HHS' major argument concerns the health risks girls are exposed to when they use a prescribed contraceptive. From statistics, they cite that for every 100,000 users of the Pill there are 1.4 deaths. The Planned Parenthood Fed- eration (PPF) heatedly opposes the proposal and cites that for every 100,000 teenagers who give birth, 11.1 of the dirls die. They feel that many girls will simply forego the contraceptives and possible parental knowl- edge. This means an increased risk of pregnancy, in the short run. Hunter Johnson, Sophomore In the European countries, alcohol and wine is drunk at every meal. 18 is an old enough age to start drinking. 1 still think there should be a crackdown on drunken drivers, but not everyone drinks and drives. Sports Mark Kicks, Mark Moseley, the starting kicker for the Washington Redskins, made the record books in December, 1982. Moseley, a long time veteran of the skins, kicked his twen- ty-third consecutive field goal, against the New York Gaints, to break the standing NFL ’Skins Win record. On that exciting Sun- day, Mark Moseley seemed to defy all odds; it was snowing, very windy, and the game was close. As usual Washington's Moseley pulled through, and was able to break this long- standing record. “Boom Boom” Kills Kim It began as a normal show- down between Ray (Boom Boom) Mancini and Duk Koo Kim. Caesars Palace was pack- ed that night to watch the fight of two boxers. Mancini was almost fighting a mirror: both were 5'6 tall; both fough low; Mancini was righthanded; Kim lefthanded; same weight; little difference in power and none in approach. A bom- bardment of 39 blows came from Mancini, with none of them returned by Kim, then two severe blows to Kim's head. Although Kim miracu- lously was able to rise before the end of the count, his life had been knocked out. The verdict: severe damage from a right subdural hematoma. The death of Kim led Mancini to think of an early retirement; he does not wish to be the next Duk Koo Kim. Sampson Stuffs Ewing The mighty superstars clashed before a sellout crowd at the Captial Center for the biggest college bas- ketball game of the century. University of Virginia had Ralph Sampson, but George- town had Pat Ewing. It is not everyday that two gaints are allowed to confront each other. Sampson, 7'4 , from the Shenandoah Valley, and Ewing, 7 foot, from Jamaica via Cambridge, Mass., are very dissimilar in back- ground, personality, tem- perament, style and effect. The battle ended after Samp- son had proved himself the better player with the Cava- liers over the Hovas, 63-61. The “Great Gretzky” Sports Illustrated's sports- man of the year we went to the hockey player Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers, 21 year old Wayne has been in the NHL for 3 years, and 3 times he has been its most valuable play- er. He holds a remarkable 27 individual NHL records. This season Gretzky set a record barely perceivable in the hockey world: he scored 92 goals and made 120 assists for 212 points in 80 games. Not only is Gretzky sports- man of the year, but he is the most phenomenal player in hockey history. 222 Sports Sports Redskins: World Champs Despite the abbreviated season, the NFL had an abso- lutely fantastic season this year; the Washington Red- skins topped the list for the devotion from their fans. Af- ter a season of receiving liter- ally no respect for their apt, yet unnoticed, skill, the Washington Redskins (alias the Hogs and Smurfs ) overcame the Miami Dol- phins (the Killer Bees ) in the 1982 Superbowl in Pasadena, 27-17. For the first time in football history Washington was the home of the Super Bowl Champions. In the playoffs, the Red- skins defeated their long- time rivals, the Dallas Cow- boys, at RFK to clinch the NFC Championship. The Super Bowl game was historic in many ways. John Riggins, who had earned himself the nickname of Diesel, continued to plow through the fins lineup and practically broke his own rushing record, as well as crossing the goal line for the turning point of the game. The Skins trailed until Rig- gins ran for his touchdown. Then the team pulled together; the Redskins pulled away from the Dol- phins to maintain their lead. Most football teams who first score in the Super Bowl tend to be victorious at the end of the game. The Redskins, however, proved that rules are made to be broken. After the Super Bowl the Redskins were honored with a ticker-tape parade. Half a million people came to the parade to demonstrate for the Hogs their thanks for such an exciting season. Al- though the football team did not always receive the respect they deserved, they played as a team and proved that the Washington Red- skins are truly No. 1 in the world. Connors Stages Comeback He has not always been there, but he never seems to be totally out of the spotlight. Jimmy Connors is once again proving that he can still be the best in the world of tennis if he wants. Last September was no exception. Jimmy Connors beat his Czechoslovakian op- ponent, Ivan Lendl 6-3, 6-2, 4- 6, 6-4. Flushing Meadow spec- tators had witnessed several upsets already during the tournament, so they expected quite a show between the two men. Connors had changed his style a bit since their last encounter he had a new serve. So Connors says, this is what won him the tournament, al- though serving against Lendl, who has the most vicious fore- hand in the game today. This victory just assured Connors he had the power to be the No. 1 player, and one of five men who have twice won Wimble- don and the U.S. Champion- ship in the same year. Sugar Ray Bows Out Last year he was the Sports- man of the Year, now he has given up his boxing career for a normal life with his family. Last November, Sugar Ray Leonard announced his retire- ment from the boxing world, to the amazement of the press. Many thought Sugar Ray had left the scene because of an injury to his left eye. Seven months before his retirement, in his bout with Stafford, his left eye was hit. Doctors di- agnosed the injury as a de- tached retina, something which may take months to re- cover. Contray to the press re- ports, Sugar Ray retired be- cause there was no longer any competition. He had lost the excitement; the challenge was gone. Toward the end of his career, Ray fought with much carelessness, it was obvious his heart was not in the fight. Italy Wins World Cup This year the World Cup was in Spain. After making it through the final qualifying steps, Italy and West Ger- many battled it out for the highest honor in the world of soccer — being victorious in the world Cup Tournament. The semi-final brought much controversy. Cup offic- als let France advance in the tournament despite England's domination. English fans. notoriously rowdy, made a great uproar, but France con- tinued to play. This game matched the French against the West Germans. After over- time and penalty kicks, the Germans prevailed. The finals were everything they were built up to be with Italy soundly defeating the West Germans 3-1 in an excit- ing game. The next World Cup will be held in 1986. Sports 223 Entertainment MEN AT WORK Music Rock and Roll. New Wave. Punk. Reggae. The past year was great for music. The best selling album of 1982, according to Rolling Stone, was Asia, the debut album by one of the hottest groups today. The second best seller was the Go-Go's second album. Vacation, generally said to be as good as their first, though quite different. One of the most popular singles of the year was also a debut, Laura Bran- igan's Gloria, which spent more weeks in the count- down than any other song by a woman since 1957. Of course, the best new album of the year was probably Business As Usual by Men At Work, a new group from down under (where women glow and men plunder). Other popular music in- cludes, Marvin Gaye's Sex- ual Healing, Juice, Lover- boy, Kool and the Gang, and any single from H20, the awesome album by Hall and Oates. John Cougar's Jack and Diane'' and Survivor's Eye of the Tiger both spent an incredibly long time in Q107's Top Five at Ten. Of course to a great num- ber of people, popular does not mean good, so the lesser known albums should get some attention, too. Squeeze's album Singles im- pressed just about everyone who heard it, as did every- one who heard Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello. The Clash, Stray Cats, Adam Ant, and The Human League, all imports from En- gland, each had great albums, too. Theater Broadway had seen better years. With one notable ex- ception, the year saw no good new plays or musicals. Of course there are still a number of shows running from previous years, includ- ing two of the all time great shows, A Chorus Line and Dreamgirls. Both deal with the stage life, though the former is all contained in a single audition and the latter shows a Supreme-like group go from a talent show to na- tional stardom. The latter is especially exciting, includ- ing dazzling effects and great costumes (34 different costumes for the women). Both shows won huge vic- tories at the Tony awards. Chorus Line won seven in 1976 and last year Dream- girls won six. The one exception to the poor year for new shows was the smash hit Cats. The stage alone (a junkyard which extends throughout the audience) is spectacular. The acting is superb, espe- cially Betty Buckley's Memory and Rum Tumm Tumm's punk-rocker num- ber, though one must admit there is no real plot to the show. Television Highlights Television was not as bad as one might have expected this year, with the notable absences of WKRP, Mork and Mindy, Barney Miller, and Lou Grant. The new shows were not half as good as the old, and some were extremely bad, such as Joanie Loves Chachi. Admist all this gloom however, some glimmer of hope appeared in great shows such as Square Pegs. Patty and Lauren may never be as popular as Vinnie or Jennifer or Ladonna, but they are a lot funnier. Other notables this year were mini series such as Nicholas Nickelby and the sometimes good, sometimes trash Winds of War. Dynasty knocked Dallas out of the favored night soap spot, though JR is still fun to hate. And as for daytime soaps. General Hospital was still number one, even with- out Laura. Of course the biggest event in television of the year was the biggest loss television has suffered since cancela- tion of the Mary Tyler Moore show. After eleven years, the best comedy of TV left the air with a two hour spe- cial in February this winter. After eleven great seasons, M’A’S H ended. Alan Alda wrote the script with the wit and humor that has been making us laugh since 1972. Goodbye Colonel Potter, Charles, Margaret, Klinger, BJ, Hawkeye, and all the rest. You'll be missed but your reruns will go on forever. Goodbye Doonesbury Other entertainment news this year includes the loss of America's wittiest and most intelligent car- toon, Doonesbury. Creator Gary Trudeau said in his announcement that the road from mixers to herpes was a long one and it was time he got his characters started on it. Trudeau made it perfectly clear that he was not having a mid-life crisis and will re- turn within twenty months. 224 Entertainment Movies, Movies, Movies, Movies, Movies ... Books Without a doubt the best novel of the year was Anne Tyler's Dinner At the Homesick Restaurant. It's an incredible novel, full of scenes that are both funny and touching. The story fo- cuses on an odd family liv- ing in Baltimore, the Tulls. It opens with the mother. Pearl, lying on her death bed, then progresses back- wards in time to tell the story of her three children growing up. Funny, sad, and true, it is surely one of the great books of recent times. Other notables include the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, George Mills by Stanley Elkin, which tells the story of George through an entire milenium from the crusades to present day. The Burning House, a collection of short stories by Ann Beattie proves the author's im- mense talent once again. A Mother and Two Daughters by Gail Godwin was excel- lent, as was John Cheever's last novel. Oh, What A Para- dise It Seems. The best sell- ing novel of the year was Robert Ludlum's The Paris- fal Mosiac, a thrilling spy novel. DINNER AT THE HOMESICK RESTAURANT In an incredible perfor- mance, Meryl Streep played Sophie, the Auchwitz survi- vor, in the brillant film based on William Styron's novel. Miss Streep studied German five hours a day for three months as part of her train- ing for this role. Of course, everything worked ex- ceedingly well because her performance is absolutely stunning. Her range of emotion is incredible, from the look of joy on her face when she sees her bril- liant lover, Nathan, to the flashback scenes when she is going through an unearth- ly hell in the concentration camp. It is indeed a great movie, sure to become a modern classic, just as it is sure to sweep the Academy Awards. However, drama was not the only great thing in theatres this year; comedies were numerous and surpris- ingly good this year. With- out a doubt, the best of the year was Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman as an out of work actor turned actress. It was always hilarious, and not as unrealastic as one might think. Dustin Hoff- man actually went around New York City as a woman to make sure he was con- vincing, and even fooled his best friend, actor Jon Voight. Jessica Lange, who played a soap slut in Tootsie won great acclaim for her title role in Frances, the stirring film based on the thirties movie star Frances Farmer who was admitted (wrong- ly) to an isane asylum. Other notable performances by actresses this year include Glenn Close, as Garp's dim- witted but wise mother in The World According To Garp and Mary Beth Hurt as Garp's wife. 48 Hrs. starred Nick Nolte and Saturday Night Live star Eddie Murphy in a hila- rious movie about a cop and a con man. Equally funny, though less intelligent were Airplane II, Porkys, and Fast Time At Ridgemont High. Gandhi starred new com- er Ben Kingsley as the Indi- an leader who changed the world with his peaceful re- sistance tactics. The film a four hour epic, had an ex- tremely talented cast, in- cluding Sir John Gieggud and Candice Bergman. Basically, it was a surpris- ingly good year for movies including a few great films. We're not even going to mention ET, though it must be admitted that perhaps the Scandinavian countries which banned the film were not entirely wrong. i , — Local News 1-66 Opens December 22 marked the opening of Interstate 66, after twenty-three years of court battles and citizen protest. The fi- nal ten mile stretch of the road cost 275 million dollars; it links the Beltway and the Roosevelt Bridge cutting a concrete path through the middle of Arlington. Protests by the citizens of Arlington were not totally unheard as the road opened with a number of compromises. The planned eight lanes were reduced to four. Special lighting, landscaping, and soundproofing were also a part of the new highway. 1-66 came with innovations in high- way planning. The HOV-4 restrictions (HOV being a high occupancy vehicle of at least four persons) during rush hour, reserve the lanes for car pools and buses. In the future, 1-66 will receive special traffic control signals at entry ramps which will speed traffic flow when the road is crowded. For some Arlington residents, the road brings Metro, which will travel in the median, to East Falls Church. The last Arlington station. It speeds up the commute to D.C. and simplifies trips to western suburbs for those with easy ac- cess. An added bonus is the bike lane which runs parallel to the road. It pro- vides a traffic-free paved trail to Washington. 226 Community Wolf Trap Burns The country's only National Park for the performing arts ran into disaster on April 4. Three hours of flames were enough to ravage the wooden Filene Center; the 3,500 seat ampitheatre was all but des- troyed. Wolf Trap did not die despite this disaster. A temporary outdoor struc- ture, dubbed the Meadow Center, was soon constructed so the Wolf Trap sea- son could continue. Escapade Added Metrocable added a new channel to its offerings this year. The list of optional programming which consists of the HBO and Cinemax movie services now con- tains’Escapade. Escapade is operated by Playboy and offers soft-core porno- graphic movies and gameshows. The in- troduction of this channel caused con- Citizens and community leaders alike have rallied to help reconstruct Wolf Trap. A fund with present contributions totalling 1.6 million has been started. Ronald Reagan has authorized a nine mil- lion dollar grant and eight million dollars worth of loans to fi- nance reconstruction. The new Filene Cen- ter II will look like the former ampitheater. It will be constructed of fire resistant mate- rials and cost approximately eighteen million dollars. troversy among Arlington's citizens. However, the County Board decided that there was nothing wrong with the new service. The new channel is re- stricted and can only be seen in homes that have paid for the service. The equip- ment used to block out the channel failed on the first night so Escapade was intro- duced to all Arlington viewers — even those who did not wish to see it. Chain Bridge Opened After eighteen months of one lane op- eration, Chain Bridge reopened with three operational lanes on December 11. The cost of repairs, which should last Democrats Win The County Board Election this year turned out to be a victory for the Demo- crats. Mary Margaret Whipple defeated Chairman Steven Detwiler with fifty- four percent of the vote. Whipple's victo- ry gives to the Democrats a 3-2 Board Majority for the first time since 1979. The Democratic majority will be harder on developers, place more emphasis on the schools and less emphasis on lower taxes. In each city, the papers follow a similar format. The main feature of the paper is the front section called Across the USA which contains news from all fifty states. The paper also features color pic- tures and graphics and a detailed sports section. There are no comics, classified adds or syndicated columns. The paper helps to fill a void left by the now defunct Evening Star . Ballston Redevelopment The Arlington County Board, on May 18, approved plans to redesign the old Parkington Mall. The thirty-one year old mall and accompanying parking struc- ture was one of the areas first malls. It The bridge had been closed because road about fifty years, was about four million will be transformed into a retail and salt had eaten away at the road surface and concrete support underneath.

Two lanes are now open to accommodate rush hour traffic. One operates in the opposite direction. The resurfaced bridge has an ex- panded deck with slightly wider lanes than before, but only one sidewalk. It is coated with a salt resistant substance. USA Today On December 15, Washingtonians were greeted with a new newspaper. The Gannet newspaper chain started publication of its national newspaper USA Today . The newspaper will eventually be introduced in twelve cities with a projected circulation of 2,350,000. uled to open in 1985. It will cut the travel time for Arlington residents who are now shopping in Falls Church or McLean. It will keep sales tax in Arling- ton. The reconstruction of the new mall, planned to be similar in size to the Seven Corners Shopping Center, will be under- taken by the owners of Parkington; May Centers Inc. It is a 100 million dollar project. Arlington is helping to finance one quarter of this cost through cut rate bonds. Community 227 Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo Where Will Yorktown Students Go? Is this Yorktown's destiny? School Board members ponder the future of Arlington Schools. In 1963, there were 26,927 students enrolled in Arlington County schools. This figure has dropped dramatically to 14, 710 in 1981. This decline has already lead to the closing of five elementary schools and two junior high schools. In 1978, the school system moved from a 6-3-3 configuration, to a 6-2-4 arrange- ment. In April 1983, a decision will be made concerning school closings. After the decision is made, the new plan will possibly go into effect in the fail of 1984. Many persons feel the need to con- solidate because the declining enroll- ment is affecting the curriculum, staff- ing, and the extracurricular programs. Singleton courses are becoming more common. Some courses have insuffi- cient enrollment and therefore, must be cancelled. Different levels of some extracurricular activities have been dropped because there are not enough participants. Many things must be considered when reaching conclusions about school closings. What grades should be grouped together? Should we maintain all the alternate programs? Will Arling- ton's school age population continue to decline, or will it increase? How many schools should be closed? These factors and more will all influence the decision the Board will make. Superintendent Charles E. Nunley is working on several plans that would require the closing of one or more in- termediate schools. He is also writing a plan for keeping all three county' high schools open. The School Board has re- quested that all alternate programs be included in all plans. Proposed plans are as follows: 1. 6-2-4 considering the following fac- tors: a) Maintain all alternate programs; b) Maintain 2 high school pro- grams; c) Maintain 2 intermediate pro- grams. 2. K-7, 8-12 considering the following factors: c) Maintain as many elementary schools as possible (14-15). 3. 6-2-4 considering the following fac- tors: a) Maintain all alternate programs; b) Maintain all 3 high school pro- grams; c) Maintain 3 or 4 intermediate programs. The Secondary Schools Comission pre- sented 3 alternatives to the School Board. 1. Retain high schools in present form (3 votes); 2. Move to 2 high schools as soon as enrollment and facility capacity permit (12 votes); 3. Convert to a 6-2-2-2 program as soon as enrollment and facility capacity permit (13 votes); a) Maintain all alternate programs; b) Maintain 3 high school pro- grams; 4. Terminate the H-B Woodlawn and Page 7th grade alternative pro- grams (17-12).

A report on pupil enrollment trends compiled by Helminski Wilden, an educational research firm hired by the Arlington County School Board, states that more students than expected will be filling the Arlington County Schools in ten years. These findings were based on factors including the economy hous- ing, birth rates, and the further devel- opment of the Orange Metro line. There will be an increase in the number of students enrolled in kindergarden through second grade, but a decrease in the number of students attending the secondary schools. Over the next decade, senior high school enrollment could drop as much as sixty per cent. The elementary schools will show a small increase by 1984. The overall en- rollment could increase by 1,300 or 1,500 students from the current population of 14,500 students. Superintendent Dr. Charles E. Nunley Local Color Arlington. A changing coun- ty. Once it was a quiet suburban community. Now new buildings and offices are popping up everywhere. Once, the city part of our county was confined to Rosslyn, but when Metro arrived all that changed. As the subway ex- panded from Washington to Arlington it brought the city with it. Once quiet neighbor- hood shopping centers are changing, becoming new areas of development. The big prob- lem is how to bring in offices and jobs without creating another Rosslyn. In keeping with the other im- provements, already existing areas are also getting a facelift. Westover Shopping Center underwent a transformation over the summer and has a whole new facade with reno- vated stores. Arlington's biggest mall, Parkington, is scheduled to undergo its own transforma- tion. It will be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. Arlington has become a coun- ty divided, not just north and south by Route 50, but east and west by 1-66. The long-fought highway, eagerly awaited by some area residents, has finally opened and turned Arlington into another name on an exit ramp. Arlington is changing rapidly. We must accept the change from quiet suburb to urban county. It is up to us to make the mixture work and keep Arlington the best place in the state to live.

Another step on the way to the future is passea. What lies anead is probably as varied, as colorful, as unique as what rests behind. But the future is unknown. Questions and speculation prevail. Where will we be next year or the year after that? So much has happened this year — locally, nationally universally — that it's hard to imagine more ac- tion. We sent a shuttle into space with cargo. Are passengers next? We put robots to work on assembly lines, put man and machine together with an artificial heart. The economy seems to be improving with new Wall Street highs, yet millions remain jobless and prices continue to rise. Will we be able to find work ourselves? Closer to home, right here at York- town, it was a year to remember, too. Our SAT scores topped all county charts. Our wrestlers fought their way to the top of Districts and Regionals. Our girls' basketball team shot to the top of the ranks with a near perfect season. Everyone went for Anything Goes. The snow came down ana down and down. The Redskins climbed to the pinnacle of football fame. Will next year see similar feats? Will Yorktown get the ax in the continuing saga of the school closings? What awaits us outside these green tiled walls of YHS? For Seniors, a whole new world is about to begin, a world full of new opportunities. Re- gardless of whether irs college or the work world, it's a new life — new peo- ple, new places, new ideas are just waiting to be explored. Underclassmen have their own fu- tures to look forward to, too. Although they still have one or more years to serve here, many opportunities await them. Juniors are next year's Seniors. It's time to start planning for that not so distant future. Sophomores can look forward to getting that cherished driver's license. At least the future is mobile now. Freshmen, at least, will no longer be those pesky freshmen. Each class has its own options, each individual his own future ambitions and desires. What the future will be though, remains a mystery. It is said that every time a door is closed, another one is opened. We close the door on Yorktown 1982-83, looking back over all the times we had, the times we will remember well into the future. That future is upon us, ready to open its door. What is waiting insiae .. . Well, that remains to be The future holds in its grasp what we make it and may be either good or bad. I fear that it may turn out to have war and destruction in it. We can, I feel, save ourselves if we think things out and use our technology to improve our world. Our immediate future is one of change, which we in society must make for the better or suffer the consequences. Dave McBride The future is tomorrow; all our accomplish- ments, our failures and the promise of things to come. The future is full of hope, opportunities to show our superiority. Stacey Jonasz When someone mentions the future, 1 see space stations, everything computerized, and modular apartments stacked up like hon- eycombs. But, it's different when I put myself in tne picture. The Real future is mucfi more obscure. How can 1 know what it will be like? Laura Cassidy Your future is not just 10 years from now, but 10 minutes from now. It's partially determined by your attitude. If you're worrying too much aoout what's going to be, you won't be able to enjoy what is now.
