The first two weeks of January were very mild and few of us wore little more than our jackets, but by April 14, we saw snow and by May 17, everyone put his coat back on. Rumors were heard in the fall about the fabled smoking area, but it never showed. Most of us simply forgot about it. Then, suddenly, the once rumored smoking shelter was completed. Now, our smokers could puff away without getting soaked in the rain. And the sports teams were awesome. Boy’s Basketball drew overflow crowds for each home game. Girl’s Basketball continually rolled over the opposition. The Tennis Team was powerful, consistently winning and the Softball Team did not lose a single District game. The JV Football Team was no less outstanding: they lost only one game. The Track Team also sent a representative to the State meet. The world heard from BSHS’s sports programs. Academics were no less visible. The Brunswick Players captured 1st in the District. The Debate Team hauled in a 1st in the District and Forensic s sent representatives to the State. Brunswick students took 1st and 2nd places in the Southside Electric Contest and the Math Science Club sent people to the State. Not only could we play ball, but we had brains, too! But all of this would mean little were it not for June 10: Graduation! From the moment the magical awareness of Prom wore off, we started feeling this little spark of excitement growing within each of us. It was coming: we could see it, feel it. We knew it could not be denied. Graduation was upon us. How we shouted with joy when Mr. Baird announced that Graduation Invitations had arrived. Our hearts gave a little flutter when we saw ourselves in our Cap and Gown pictures. And the day, remember, when we first saw our very own Cap and Gown. Now looking back, we can see that we did a good job of “Putting It All Together.” We did it—we made it to Graduation. 2 The Journalism Club Put it all together” from the beginning, with this presentation in the audi¬ torium to the end, with this finished product —your 1983 Yearbook. Stewart Wilkins built an incredibly precise rep¬ lica of our school as an Art Project. Mr. Dale Baird gets dunked by a lucky shot dur¬ ing Homecoming Week, satisfying the dreams of many students. 3 Unseen Talent Succeeds Awesome Racqueteers Defeating every other team in the District, Brunswick’s ’82 Tennis Team recorded a perfect season; 9 overall wins: No losses!! The fellows on the courts were devastating, defeating Greensville twice without letting them win a match, defeating Randolph Hen¬ ry twice (letting them have only one match) and defeating Dinwiddie twice, again letting them have only one match. Obviously, the Brunswick Ten¬ nis Team was awesome. Coach Clary and his racqueteers totalled up a very respectable scoreboard. Leaping Tracqueteers The 1982 Track Team, one of the best kept secrets of the sports arena, leaped many hurdles and dashed around the District offering stiff com¬ petition. The most exciting meet of the 1982 season was the District competi¬ tion. The team members faced differ¬ ent styles of competition which made for an interesting, as well as more com¬ petitive meet. Coaches Mims and Rainey felt that lack of participation and inexperience were the main rea¬ sons for the season ending as it did. Coach Clary awards Thomas Mays Most Improved Player and Cleve Packer MVP. Cleve also displays the District Champions Award for Tennis.

Close to a fault, Cleve Packer smashes a serve at his opponent. 4 Karen Taylor soared through the air in yet an¬ other attempt at breaking the long jump record. Proudly accepting track awards for Most Im¬ proved are Jimmy Kelly and Deborah Lambert, and for MVP are Alfred McGeachy and Karen Taylor. Jimmy Kelly fought off a strong attack by a Baron to win another 100-yard dash as Tony Taylor sprinted for third place. The concentration on Alfred McGeachy’s face is evident as he begins his take-off in the high jump. 5 Through Thick And Thin Fruitless season Learning season Softball Scoreboard The girl’s softball team had a fruit¬ less season, even though the same girls who had won the District Champion¬ ship at the junior high reunited to form the 1982 softball team. The team played its best game of this season against Bluestone, the number one team in the district. However, the Bulldog’s effort was fruitless. They lost by the slim margin of 10-9. When Bluestone came to Brunswick, the girls played their worst game of the season, losing by a score of 22-2. Although things looked bad for the team and one loss lead to another, the ladies never gave up. They finally stomped Greensville with a score of 38- 9. When asked what was the best thing about the team, Miss Ford said, “Win or lose, the girls stuck together.’’ The 1982 baseball season is best summed up as a learning experience. Suffering thru a 5-win and 12-loss sea¬ son, the team, which started 4 seniors, 4 sophomores and 1 freshman, man¬ aged to field several noteworthy indi¬ viduals. Mike Gibson, All-Conference catch¬ er, batted .389 and was the team’s MVP. Tommy Jones batted .407 and was the team’s best hitter. Tom McGeachy and Mike Wynn had out¬ standing season’s at the plate. Howev¬ er, shakey defense and poor pitching led to many of the defeats.

The Blues- tone Barons aced the Greensville Ea¬ gles, pitting the Bulldogs against the Barons for the fourth time in five years. The Bulldogs were the victors over Bluestone with a close score of 70- 68, qualifying them for the Regionals. The Bulldongs defeated John F. Kennedy, an extremely talented and much larger team, by a score of 60-58 with a free throw by Ronnie Posey in the last twelve seconds of the game. With just two games to be won be¬ fore the trip to Charlottesville, the Dogs defeated Tabb by a score of 85-72. The following night the Bulldogs re¬ moved York from the competition with a 53-38 win. The Bulldogs’ opponents in the State Semi-Finals was the Region IV Cham¬ pions, Marion High School, the only undefeated team in the state with a re¬ cord of 25-0. The Bulldogs defeated Marion in overtime 45-43. It sent the Bulldogs into the State Finals against defending champs Martinsville, who were ironi¬ cally called the “Bulldogs” as well. Martinsville defeated the Bulldogs 92-77 and the Battle of the Bulldogs was over. After capturing the district championship, David Wyatt, Grady Posey, and Coach Reekes proudly accept their team trophy. Displaying dribbling skills, David Wyatt dodges two Bluestone Barons going for the easy score, while John Thompson prepares to assist. 8 Trying to escape the heavy traffic of John Thompson and Leo Clary, this Bluestone Baron came away empty-handed. A Catching his competitors off-guard, Grady Po¬ sey’s soft touch adds another two points. Mr. Burke presented the Most Improved Player award to David Wyatt and the Leading Re¬ bounder award and Highest Field Goal Percent¬ age to John Thompson. 1 , 9 D’s Go Beyond District Drama The Brunswick Players had a spec¬ tacular showing during the ’82 season. Led by Mrs. Ruby Short, this company of multi-talented students danced off with an excellent showing in the State Dramatic Competition. We were all fortunate to have seen this spectacular production during an assembly as the Players polished up the finishing touches of their lines and dance steps. Seldom had we seen such preciseness and poise presented at the same event. We knew from the beginning that this presentation would turn heads. Mrs. Ruby Short proudly displayed the 1st place Trophy that the Brunswick Players captured with their spectacular performance. Taking a first place in District Competition were Doug Lipton, Larry Parrish, Thomas Warring¬ ton, and Neil McClenny with their coach, Mr. Nichols. Debate The ’82 Debate Team left the compe¬ tition speechless at the District meet by talking their way into a first place award. To watch this team waiting for their opposition to make a mistake in logic or argument was like watching a predator stalk its victum. And when the team’s rebuttal came, there would not be any question as to which team was victorious. Not only did Debate take the District but they also repre¬ sented themselves and the school well at the Regional level with the affirma¬ tive team taking a fourth place. 10 The Brunswick Players: (seated, 1 to r) Ethel Rainey, Angela Callis and Valerie Bruce; (standing, 1 to r) Sean Tatum, George Callis, Russell Coleman, Alease Green, Andre’ Cooper, Matilda Brodnax, Coleman Adams, Durrell Thomas, Waddell Lucas, Maureen Hennigan, Wendell Simmons and Rueben Goldsberry. ‘live the lifi ng Memory It has gone before me, I will never see it again. It was yesterday, and it was the end Today will become yesterday and tomorrow will become today, jjDut there’s no reaching back for yesterday. So whatever you’ve done today Make sure you are ready for it tomorrow, Because you can only have memories some you may have to borrow. There’s nothing we can do, nor really say, An Enchanted Evening Somewhere between time past and time future a magical, mythical, fanta¬ sy realm took shape and developed in the short space of five days. From a cold, hard, cinderblock wall with stark windows emerged the Land of Uni¬ corns and Castles. This glorious night was one of the most memorable of all nights for students. Friday dawned with sunshine and excitement among the students as ev¬ eryone realized this was Prom Day. Plans and hopes that had been dreamed of for months now became re¬ ality. The first order of the day for many of those who were to attend the prom was to get an early dismissal. By 8:20, a long line had appeared in the office, each praying not to be rejected. There were things to do today! As soon as their early dismissals were approved, cars streamed from the parking lot, carring students who would in a few hours undergo a great metamorphosis, from jeans to tuxes, from tee-shirts to formal gowns, from average to extrodinaire! Months before, the guys had gone to great lengths to find the tux that would be perfect for this night. No less diligently, the young ladies had pur¬ chased or designed their own gowns. From the riot of color found in the hall¬ ways earlier that day, came couples whose attire were not only colorful but also complimented each other. The entrance to the Prom gave some hint to what was soon to be seen, but the visual impact of the decorations was powerful. The castle in the center of the dance floor immediately grabbed everyone’s attention. Shades of blue predominated and were shot through with streaks of silver as uni¬ corns danced around the edges of this mythical land and stars and clouds glimmered overhead. Gloria Newell and Anthony Walker take this opportunity to discuss their Prom plans. For four hours everyone drifted through this special occasion, dancing to the tunes of Disco Pat, partaking of the refreshments, taking pictures of friends, having pictures taken of them¬ selves, and enjoying feelings that would never again be exactly like this. The Prom, it seemed, ended much too soon. As the end approached and everyone began to depart in their shinning cars that had been waxed only hours be¬ fore, most reflected on the feelings of friendship and pride they had felt. And even though the dream that had been anticipated for several months was coming to an end, the evening was still young as many couples went in search of other parties to finish out the night. Taking a breather after a 12 inch disco single, Shirley Adams, Jimmy Kelly, Mike Gibson and Christin Rawlings wonder how the others have the energy to continue. Deborah Bishop, Rusty McCombs, Roberta Wilson and Wayne Poythress seem able to do nothing but relax as the evening comes to a close. Realizing that even an enchanted evening must come to an end, Charles Moone and Diane Jackson display a contented smile as Barbara Harrison and Haywood Taylor watch the photographer. Arthur Winfield is intrigued with dancers around the castle. r l r Shades of blue predominated and were shot through with streaks of sil¬ ver as unicorns danced around the edgig of this mythical land, and stars ajid .elouds glimmered overhead. As Disco Pat delivers an enchanted beat, Cynthia Taylor, Renita Wilson, William Watson, Bernie Coleman and Sharon Thompson respond with the latest and most elegant dance steps. Anxiously awaiting a dance, Flossie Stokes, Pa¬ tricia Ebron and Dottie Bell discuss what lucky gentlemen will be their partner. Somewhere between time past and time future .... emerged the land of unicorns and castles. 13 The Future Is Dawning. As the auditorium filled to capacity with proud relatives waiting to witness the time-honored event, “Graduation”, the graduates proudly marched in and took their seats at the front of the audi¬ torium where they remained as the guests of the evening. Although the atmosphere was tense, the minds of the occupants were filled with thoughts of this memorable occa¬ sion. Due to a steady downpour, the ceremonies had to be performed inside and only four relatives per graduate were allowed in the auditorium, while others were asked to proceed to the cafeteria to listen or were asked to stand in the halls. Nevertheless, the impact and significance of the ceremo¬ nies were no less important to every¬ one involved. For two hours graduates, dressed in caps and gowns, listened to speeches and anticipated their diplomas. Those two hours will no doubt always be re¬ membered because they marked the end of one phase of the graduates lives and the beginning of another. All the graduates remembered their twelve long years of schooling as Reg¬ gie Smith, guest speaker, asked, “Is the tassle you have worth the hassle you had?” “Striving, seeking, and finding are the key to the future,” proclaimed Au- dra Jolly, Validictorian, as she deliv¬ ered her speech to the graduates. Salu- datorian Keith Green’s speech “Much have I seen and known” evoked memories the seniors thought they had forgotten. Speaker of the evening, Reggie Smith, relaxes the graduates with a “soapy” but inquisitive speech entitled “Is the Tassle You Have Worth the Hassle You Had?” As the graduates stood to receive their diplomas, the butterflies in their stomach began to stir and their palms prespired as they ascended the steps. Hearts pounded as loudly as the foot¬ steps on the stage as Mr. Baird read the long list of names. But by the time each had crossed the stage to Mr. Martin, the fear was fading rapidly as pride welled up inside to take its place. The final handshake and acceptance of the diploma from Mr. Martin was etched into each senior’s mind, never to be forgotten. Yes, indeed, the tassle had been worth the hassle! Keith Green, salutatorian, shares words of wis¬ dom and best wishes with his fellow classmates as he proudly addressed them. “To Strive, To Seek, To Find,” declares Au¬ drey Jolly, “is what the future will demand.” She delivered her speech with great anticipa¬ tion of the future. 14 Departing from the long evening, the satisfied graduates wonder what the future has in store for them. After the ceremony, graduates were swamped by congratulations, relatives, and flashbulbs. Wylie Lynch gave a stern handshake as he, too, received his hard-earned degree. “This is it,” trampled through Margarette Ball’s mind as she advanced onto the stage to get her diploma. One of the proud recipients, Jackie Ridley, was all smiles as she is handed her degree by Mr. Martin, School Superintendent. Glad the day is over, George Mayo anxiously boards the Glorious Cheese for a long ride home. Not even the mud puddle impedes his determina¬ tion to board. The Glorious Cheese Some of our best times were had on what most of us called “the cheese,” our school bus. We stepped on the bus in the morning and were hit by the loud and clamorous shouts of our schoolmates. Most of the noise always seemed to be coming from the back. For some reason all the talkers seemed to sit there everyday. Even with all the distractions, there were still rules by which we had to abide. We soon learned that it was only a privelege to ride the school bus. Not only did the school bus provide transportation to and from school, but it also provided a place to do our home¬ work, to socialize with friends and even a place to get out of the rain. Some buses were famous (“Bus 35 has not arrived”) and some were infamous. Sharon Palmer, Stewart Wilkins, Angela Callis, and Shirley Woodley impatiently wait for their bus to come. These students are getting themselves situated on the Pep bus headed to Kennedy. But thinking back, each of us rode the “Big Cheese” for a very long time; twelve years. How could we ever for¬ get the cold mornings, the hot after¬ noons, the snow as we left early or the noise. Even though we generally took them for granted, they were always there, waiting. •i V.‘ 4 1 rtiit- jkf 1 9 Clubs Demand Involvement Spanish Hot tameles, tacos and enchiladas- these were consumed by students with an avid interest in Spanish. Prepared at school, the students learned that Spanish food was not as spicy as Mexi¬ can food, but just as tasty. This group also donated a substantial amount to¬ ward the Band Boosters. Having many years of experience, Mrs. Vaughan organized another Spanish Club: Diane Jackson Sharon Babb, Melissa Jones, Greta Fileds, Gracie Reid, and Kathy Edwards. French Enhancing the Christmas spirit, the French club sang festive French car¬ ols and put on a play of French origin. To cap off the year, they had a bake sale to take their sponsor to an authen¬ tic French restaurant. Art This year’s art class exhibited their accomplishments in an Art Exhibit at Open House. Drawings, paintings, por¬ traits, and mosaics were among the dis¬ plays featured. Co-ed Tri-Y Organizing the Christmas food drive, the Co-Ed Tri-Y collected food that was distributed to a family in need. To bring in some holiday cheer, they donated a Christmas tree to put in the student lounge. Ornaments were pro¬ vided by other clubs. Delivering songs in French are Eleanor Moore, Juanita Stith, Virginia Walker, Sharon Gillus, Mandell Johnson, Stewart Wilkins, Cleve Pack¬ er, Isaac Thompson, Coleman Adams and Floyd Moore. During break Troy Mason, Elsie Davis, Selena Gilliam, Terry Fletcher, and Renee Reigel rush to purchase brownies from the French Club bake sale. Spanish Club, front row: Melissa Jones, Teres.

Bringing the audience to tears, Ken Helser, sponsored by the Coed Hi-Y, recounts his tragic life with songs, stories and even jokes. However, he left the audience with a sense of hope that there is an alternative. After various school clubs contributed decora¬ tions, the tree was decorated by Mary Spence, Crystal Pearson, Cheryl Fletcher, Timmi Toler, Carolyn Eastwood, Jennifer Hockaday, Linda Anderton, and Fern Hobbs. 19 Gimme A Break “Eat, talk, walk the hall, and smoke, maybe—that’s what we do at break.” Each morning at 9:55 we would make a dash for the soda and snack machines and dump hordes of change down their greedy throats. Or in an attempt to save money for the weekend, we brought food from home, but we still looked forward each day to break. The cases of sodas and snacks that we con¬ sumed would seem impossible, but we did devour them. Several cartons of cigarettes went “up in smoke” each day. We all had a place to be, and we were there because we knew our friends would be there waiting for us. We talked, laughed and caught up on the latest news. We relaxed and forgot about the pressures of study even if only for a few minutes. It seemed strange that the stairwells, the steps to the auditorium, or even the gym, that only moments ago were cold and lone¬ ly, could now be so warm and full of life. And then, all too soon, the bell would ring again and we were off, though rather slowly occassionally, to our sec¬ ond period class. Break was over and Break provides Patricia Pegram, Missy Waller, Denise Clary, Ricky Edmonds and Lisa Mayton with an opportunity to share a laugh before sec¬ ond bell. suddenly we remembered something we were supposed to tell our best friend, but now our fourth tardy was only seconds away. This important bit of news would have to wait until later—until tomorrow—until break!! Shoving money into the drink machine are Andy Walker, Jon Gibson and Joseph Bennett. Browsing through the Avon catalog, (r to 1) Mat- tie Hill, Annie Stewart, Sheila Hicks and Diane Fields try to decide what to buy. 20 Taking advantage of a few minutes of free time, Shelia Jones and Debra Barner share Keith Gil- lus’s attention. Having this place to be, Stephanie Gillus, Shir¬ ley Woodly and Tracie Thompson catch up on the latest news. Munching out on the delicious chocolate chip cook¬ ies sold during break, Norman Bugg, Flossie Stokes and Linda Alexander pass the time of day. Simultaneously eating from both hands, Tra¬ cie Kidd enjoys her ice cream during break. 21 Students Find Answers Relaxation, Friends, Quiet We learned about the LMC fast. We had to sign up to go in fourth period. We had to be quiet! From the first day we could tell this was not a place to goof-off!! But we learned that there were some fun things to do here. Magazines of ev¬ ery description could be found as well as several local papers. We didn’t have to spend our own money to read one of these, they were here for free. The LMC also came in handy for one other important facet of our time here—homework! With Ms. Cheely’s help we soon found out that we could Denise Mays realizes that sometimes, a quiet place to read a magazine can be very restful. find the answers to the most puzzling questions we had. There were projec¬ tors and records to help us understand and even a camera and VCR to help us improve our skills. One other item could be found in the library— books! We found them on ev¬ ery topic we could think of, and some we couldn’t. There were enough here to last us for quite some time. No, we couldn’t talk or play around in the LMC, but we could find a place to study, a place to quietly relax with a paper, or a place with all the informa¬ tion we needed. Doug Rilee, Leigh Crowell and Demaris Bras¬ well look for an interesting paperback. Ms. Cheely instructs student aides (seated) Al¬ fred McGeachy, Pam Lee, Mike Cheely and Te¬ resa Archer; (standing) Sharon Thompson, Shar¬ on Gillus, John Kelly, and Regina Hardy on Pro¬ jection techniques.

Hayward Taylor, and Jacqueline Hicks complete their registration cards. Allison Fletcher and Maude Owens find the re¬ sources and the quiet of the library helpful while completing some assignments. Angela Callis and George Callis quietly help each other study. 23 You Can See These Organizations “Visible” is the keynote word to de¬ scribe both the Drama Club and the SCA. The Drama Club started early in the year, tirelessly rehearsing their parts. Lines had to be learned perfectly and the dance steps had to be exact. Late in February the tighting down process took place because in March the Festivals would begin. The long hours paid off. To begin with, the club presented their play, A Good Woman to the student body, which enjoyed it greatly. You can’t fool the students at BSHS, because next the play went to District where the play took a 1st and easily advanced to Regionals, taking an Honorable mention. The SCA is so highly visable because they do so much for the student body. This group does everything from run¬ ning the school store to taking the wishes of the student body to the ad¬ ministration. These students played an important role all year long by orga¬ nizing student opinion and presenting their ideas in an orderly manner, which is not an easy job under pres¬ sure. Sharon Palmer performs a dance scene in which she was torn between lovers, played by Russell Roberts and Milton Tyler. George Callis sings “If You Could Only Be My Wife” to Karen Wyatt during the Drama Club’s presentation of A Good Women. Milton Tyler and Andre Cooper fight over the char¬ acter portrayed by Valerie Bruce during the singing number, “Make Your Mind Up Tonight.” Sharon Palmer and Andre Cooper perform a slow dance depicting a couple in love. Shelia Hawkins displays her dancing abilities as her character’s flirting tries to steal the heart of the main actor. . , Voting during SCA Elections: (background) Darell Coleman.

The Culture Club After the long year of selling or¬ anges, candy and sponsoring a beauty pageant-the culture club earned their long awaited vacation to Canada. Be¬ ing one of the larger clubs here, the students soon learned to organize both their meetings and their projects, or otherwise time would run out and there would not be enough money for the trip. Everyone in the club pitched in and worked hard so that just as the hot weather was beginning here, the students in the culture club would be heading for the cooler weather of Can¬ ada. Journalism Club Thanks to the Journalism staff, this book is possible. Beginning the year with their infamous “Yearbook Assembly” starring the yearbook staff and advisors, they advertised the yearbook by doing remarkes of famous T.V. commercials. The rest of the year was spent laboring over the Yearbook and the “Bow-wow”, the school newspaper. In additon to creating and selling the yearbook, the Journalism staff also raised mon¬ ey for the expensive production costs of both publications through dances and a hot dog stand at the “Pappy-Ellis Fly-in.” Jeff Curry hands down another box of oranges to Louis Moon as Keith Gillus and Herman Mor¬ gan bring some more foward.

These staffers quickly learned that yearbooks do not just happen, they take a great deal of time and effort: Timmi Toler, Trina Woody, Jackie Seward, and Pam Lee. 27 Students Eat, Relax Regardless of the schedule each stu¬ dent pursued, 11:56 marked the begin¬ ning of the lunch hour; an hour in which students were divided by lunch shifts. Because there are different strokes for different folks, some stu¬ dents seemed more content to “shoot the hoop” than “pig out” on pizzas or subs. Others preferred to go to the li¬ brary to relax with an “Essence” or “Teen” instead of dining with friends. For some students, the lunch hour provided a chance to meet with the friends in the same spot to discuss the same old thing. Others used these sixty minutes to puff a few cigarettes and to practice blowing smoke rings. Some might even have been found curled up in a corner reading a novel. Although few and far between, there were occasions during which the cafe¬ teria became swamped with a mob of students. On the days that pizza, spa¬ ghetti, chicken, bar-b-que on a bun or cinnamon buns were served, students willingly put all other activities aside and concentrated on demolishing these tasty treats. Teresa Taylor waits patiently for the salt from Laurie Putney as Sheila Jones, Kathleen Clary and Deborah Barner enjoy their meal. Dean Smith and Kerry Edmonds goof off while Wanda Jones hides with embarrassment during 1st lunch. Brunswick stew, fish and hot dogs were among the less popular foods served and they seemed to attract very few people. Instead of eating these “served-too-often” foods, many turned to the gym to chat with friends. Rennis Powers entertains Mike Lucy, Tracey Kidd and Chris Lucy while Micheal Spillane en¬ joys a smoke. Bonita Gator, Paula Lofton, Sharon Drummond and Jesse Turner munch out during 3rd lunch. Passavia Harrison, Valerie Bruce, George Callis, Allison Fletcher, Essie Stith; Shelia Hawkins, Andre Cooper, Patricia Ebron, Karen Wyatt enjoy a delicious steak dinner awarded to them for (heir outstanding performances as a drama club. Priscilla Rice tries out the seats in the new smoking area while Jackie Walker and Suzie Williams see an interesting sight across the yard. Eric Williams blocks Robert Bracey in a tough game of basketball during first lunch. Sharon Williams, Rosa Barner and Virginia Walker discard their unwanted food. Denise Nowell gladly passes her “empty” tray to Louis. Lunchtime as well as any other freetime would find Laurie Brockwell and Steve Capps in each other’s company. Unprepared for the photograph-Sharon Palmer, Sharena Parham, Sharon Drummond, Lisa Walker and Maggie Williams laugh at a seemingly funny comment.

Throughout the year many things happen that defy all attempts at cata- gorizing. It seems that the only thing that they had in common is that they had to do with school. On this double¬ page spread (journalism talk) you will see pictures that, for one reason or an¬ other, did not or could not fit anywhere else. These small bits and pieces of cap¬ tured time are what rounds out 1983. Although not so immediately reme- morable as a big game, prom or gradu¬ ation, these photos are like the mortar that holds the large cinder blocks to¬ gether to form one wall, or in this case, one year. The daily life, the real; un¬ posed natural moments that make the year unique are depicted here, not the glossy shots of this event or that group, just real, honest photos. No one is trying to be special here, these are the photos of us just being ourselves, doing what we did everyday. This then will be the prize in the box of candy. You remember what they were doing, you remember their names. Everyone here is elsewhere in the book, so if you have trouble, thumb through the pages slowly, the names will return.

Projects Grow From The Ground Up Mr. Dennis Jones’ Future Farmers of America made a lot of sense to many students this year. In our rural area where farming is a way of life to so many people, FFA can be very valu¬ able. The FFA has one rather unique facet, its projects. The students here, in conjunction with the Ag class, can raise either a crop or livestock. Each student finds out that reading about an item is one thing, but raising corn or sheep is an entirely different matter. The FHA, for homemakers to be, also learns things that will help greatly in the near future. In conjunction with class, these young ladies practiced everything from sewing and cooking, to participating in a wedding. After be¬ ing in this club, these students were ready to handle any situation in the making of a home. Learning that the ability to make things can be a great asset to a farmer are Robert Walker, Dar- ell Walker, Sponsor Mr. Jones, Thomas Starke and Tony Callis.

Gold Tassels Stand Out Most students join clubs each year. But it’s not quite so simple with the National Honor Society. You must be asked to join this one. And the invita¬ tion has nothing to do with how you look or dress. Grades are a primary consideration. Each year, students with high enough grades are given an invitation to join the NHS. The Honors Tea was held this year to induct the new members, but the story does not stop here. If a students grades drop, they can be in danger of losing their membership, but very few feelings matched the pride of knowing you would graduate with a gold tassle and sash. Greeting the arrivals and taking up tickets for the Awards Banquet were Sharon Gillus, Lynette Marks, Floyd Moore, Melissa Jones, John Kelly, Sponsor Mrs. Vaughan, Kerman Tucker, and Pam Lee.

Its wide open space where so many people can gather to have fun is a big drawing card. In the winter it is a warm place to sharpen basketball skills, and in the summer, it is a place to play without the unbearable sun cooking you. And even though count¬ less pickup games have been played in our gym, it has also been used for a variety of other programs. Perhaps the most notable event this year was the appearance of the NCAA National Champion Wolfpack as they went against a representative Brunswick Team. The Public School System also used the gym to house Open House, in which all the schools in the county exi- bited their projects. It seems that any time the school is open there will be someone in the gym doing something. William Watson demonstrates the uses of elec¬ tricity to visitor during Open House.

The Future Business Leaders of Amer¬ ica demonstrated to club members this year the importance of being prepared when entering the business job mar¬ ket. With the aid of the new comput¬ ers, students quickly learned that their goals may be a little tougher to fulfill than their predecessors, but would be more rewarding. With new informa¬ tion storage and retrival systems in use and voice activated typewriters on the horizon, the concept of working in an office will change very soon, and those ready for the change will succeed. The second of the F’s, Forensics, dealt with taking things off paper and presenting them orally to a group of listeners. Daily they practiced voice control, enunciation and movement co¬ ordination. The idea of just standing up and reading a poem sounded so easy, but could be so difficult and nerve- wracking, that it was unbelieveable. But with the Bulldog spirit, these team members persevered and brought home accolades for themselves as well as the school.

We remember the Ma¬ sonry and Carpentry classes building the smoking shelter, thereby gaining valuable “real” experience, but some of the club’s highlights were much less obvious. The classes had individual projects, like the gun case Mr. Byrd’s class built, the house plans Mrs. Gor- Concentrating hard, James Blackwell measures a 2x4’s in the VICA carpentry contest at Ches¬ terfield Tech. don’s class designed, or the wood stoves built by Mr. Raney’s class. And all of this effort was directed toward the annual VICA Contest. Our students entered in Carpentry, Masonry, Auto Mechanics and Metal Trades, and brought home both awards and memo¬ ries of the competition.

This is a club that is consistently involved with the commu¬ nity. This year the individual sections of the club helped with everything from the smoking shelter to Open House. The community is welcome to come and see their work and they also invite resource people in to help them understand things. At Open House, for example, each department exhibited its talent, The roar of the auto mechanics V-8 was heard throughout the entire building and the projects of carpentry, metal trade, and drafting were no less note¬ worthy. Through his participation in VICA, each member, by the end of the year, had learned about meetings, jobs and themselves. Some of the members, the graduates, would use this knowledge in the job market. The returning mem¬ bers would transfer this knowledge to new members. A club that makes a lasting impression is VICA. Doc Washington and Lawrence Parham make sure the carpentry model is ready for display at Open House. Avi Ruffin and Jamie Powell give their draw¬ ings a “once over.” A State Trooper talks to the Vica Club about job opportunities.

Ev¬ eryone was trying to get things in or¬ der. Mr. Tanner arrived and gave us instructions to proceed to the front of the school. Immediately we realized that there was going to be a lot of hard work. We practiced over and over try¬ ing to find perfection and blend. At first, no one could get all the notes and dance steps together, but after all the hard work and sweat we finally got things together. The football games arrived and in¬ stead of heat, the weather was bitterly cold. Our feet and fingers froze, not al¬ lowing us to perform at our best. The chorus presented many concerts and each was smashing. Behind each of those great performances was hard work. There were times when we had to read sheet music and we ended up with sweaty palms and trembling voices. At the chorus’ annual Christ¬ mas Concert, we sang songs that en¬ gulfed the school with Christmas spir¬ it, such as “Christmas” and “Away In A Manger.” The one thing that was uppermost in each singer’s mind was the eternal quest for harmony and per¬ fection. Taking “5” are: Lisa Walker, Sandra Diggs, Evangeline Thompson, Rosa Barner, Eve Wynn, Margaret Macklin, Regina Hardy, Trina Woody, Steve Woofter, Keith Wynn, Willie Raymond, Darrell Coleman, Cleve Packer, and William Watson. Darrell Coleman, Steve Woofter, and Wendell Simmons attempt a perfect performance after many hours of practice.

Perfecting “We Three Kings” are Tim Jones, Robert Gator, and Wadell Lucas. 45 Determination! ‘Tenacious” and “swarming” would best describe the defense that was ex¬ hibited by the Brunswick J.V. Football team. Led by defensive captain Loren Goldsberry, the J.V. team crushed their opponents by either shutting them out or allowing only one touch¬ down per game. The team’s only defeat came at the hands of Nottoway, who scored only once. Offensively, the J.V.s were led by Jo Jo Owens, Martin Astrop, and Brian Foddrell. Golds¬ berry was the main man at middle line¬ backer, calling defensive signals and keeping the team’s spirit high. The team demonstrated poise and charac¬ ter in key games against Park View and Bluestone. Preparing to offer some hard hitting defense are Joe Meredith, Darrell Walker, Leon Jones, Clem Walker, James Meredith, Paul Gee, Keith Wynn and Martin Astrop. The toughest game the Killer “J’s” played was against the Greensville team. Coaches from both teams agreed on the fact that the game itself was one of the most “physical” and “hard hit¬ ting” played on that level of competi¬ tion. In the young existence of the J.V. football program, these young men compiled a 7-3 record in two seasons. After having gone through so much hard work and pain, the team jelled and most of it will remain for ’84. Scoreboard Brunswick 7 . . . Southhampton 0 Brunswick 6 . . .Greensville 0 Brunswick 0 . . .

What did the coaches have to say about the JV Football team? Coach Mims said, “They came to play everyday.” Coach D. Jones said, “They were very agressive and played team ball.” As the offensive line of Jimmy Spillane, James Meredith and Robert Wilkins surge foward, Jo Jo Owens directs plays by calling a hand-off. Trying to inspire the team to a victory are Elaine Rainey, Gwen Coleman, Suzette Taylor, and Jewel Robinson. 47 Stumbled, Fumbled And Fell “Considering what they were up against,” said Coach Mike Raney, “the team was successful.” But perhaps the lack of discipline and experience were the causes of the Bulldogs not too suc¬ cessful season which ended with a re¬ cord of 1-8-1. Although the team didn’t dominate the football fields throughout the dis¬ trict, they never gave up. They stuck together and toughed out each defeat. The determination that the Bulldogs undoubtedly possessed was clearly dis¬ played in the game they played against the Bluestone Barons. This was the first time that the members took music boxes with them to a game and they hung tough and came out victorious, defeating the Barons by a score of 7-0. “If taking a music box to the game is going to help them win, they can take one to every game,” proclaimed Coach Mike Raney. This was, by far, the Bull¬ dogs best game of the year and the first time Brunswick hosted a shut out in a long time. Even though this year’s Bulldogs stumbled, fumbled, and sometimes fell, the time and effort exerted was well worth the trouble. They realized that to get something worthwhile, there were dues to be paid. Scoreboard Brunswick 6 . . . Franklin 2i Brunswick 26 . . . Prince Edward 26 Brunswick 7 . . .

A Week Of Wednesday One of the main school-year events to which Brunswick students looked forward was our an¬ nual Homecoming and this year was no excep¬ tion. Though there was no parade to help celebrate homecoming this year, there was enough action and fun going on to keep the students busy. Wednesday, October 6th, started off the fes¬ tivities with Poster Day. Each class was assigned a hall to decorate with spirit signs and posters. The Seniors won 1st place by decorating the main hall from end to end with the Brunswick spirit. The Juniors took second place by sprucing up the back hall with signs that made us proud to be Bulldogs. Last, the Sophomores grabbed third by highlighting the entrance hall with posters that told you what Bulldogs were made of. The penny race also occured on Wednesday. During lunch each class was invited to the gym to place pennies on three rows of masking tape on the floor. The total number of pennies in pro¬ portion to the number of students in the class would win. The Seniors came through again tak¬ ing first place by placing 2500 pennies on the tape. Thursday The second day of homecoming was every bit as enjoyable as the first. Starting off Thursday, October 7, was the 1982 Homecoming pageant. The 15 contestants were dressed in sportswear and elegant eveningwear. The fifteen contestants crossed the stage first in sportswear and then returned to captivate the audience in the formal attire of the evening. There were 8,000 suckers ordered for Thurs¬ day, which was Lick-em Day. Each sucker was attached to a “Lick-em” sign which declared the hopeful win in the Homecoming game against Park View. Thursday evening there was a pep rally and a bonfire. There was a turnout of about 150 stu¬ dents, including the football team, cheerleaders and the Brunswick Senior High Marching Band. Friday The final day of Homecoming proved that “the best was yet to come.” The movie “Cat Ballou” starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin was shown Friday afternoon. To make the movie more en¬ joyable, popcorn and drinks were sold during in¬ termission. Friday was also “Blue and White” Day. Stu¬ dents came dressed in blue and white to show school spirit. The dunking machine was set up all 3 days so we could dunk some of our teachers and princi¬ pals. Mr. Reekes was the teacher that got dunked the most. During half time of the Homecoming game, the 15 Homecoming contestants were escorted onto to the center of the football field where they anxiously awaited the announcement of the winners. The voting had been held during lunch. Cynthia Taylor was crowned Homecoming Queen, Tammy Thompson became Senior Prin¬ cess, Beth Tanner was crowned Junior Princess and Cassandra Bugg became Sophomore Prin¬ cess. All in all, Brunswick Homecoming was, in the words of a Brunswick student, “a crazy but con¬ structive week.” Sharon Drummond and Denise Nowell took ad¬ vantage of the outdoor J.V. football game to ab¬ sorb some fresh air. To assure a first place win in the Penny Race Contest, Seniors Valerie Collier, Dottie Bell, Jackie Hawkins and Angela Callis dilligently taped pennies on the second row of tape. 50 Getting the feel of the ball, Renita Wilson indulged in the water dunking activities. As one of the fun time activities, the dunking machine was set up all three lunch shifts during Homecoming week. “Tuning” their beat for the Homecoming Pep Rally are: Kenneth Green, Keith Gillis, Darren Tutt, Jerry Bell, Alvin Davis, while Eric Williams, Gary Johnson, Bryan Pearson, Daryl Mays, Oscar Hicks and Mark Clements look on. Seniors, George Callis, Ricky Edmonds, and Matilda Brodnax gave up their pennies to help the Senior class win the penny race. The penny race and bonfire were among the most enjoyable events of homecoming week. Beauty Beguiles The Audience Each year, several of our classmates compete for the honor of representing their class in the homecoming contest. This year, fifteen students put them¬ selves through grueling practices where the demand to perform perfect¬ ly motivated their steps. And yet, they always managed to smile. Bright colors and functional designs dominated the casual dress competi¬ tion. Each participant modeled her out¬ fit to the delight of the audience and displayed her ability to appear cool and collected under what was obviously a great deal of pressure. After the sportswear event, the con¬ testants were directed back to the stage to answer questions. The ques¬ tions were not difficult, but in front of the entire student body, even the sim¬ plest questions seemed a killer. Yet the contestants displayed the same calm¬ ness as before. Then the final and perhaps most memorable event: The Formal Wear. Covered in ruffles, ribbons and lace, the contestnats strolled out onto stage to show how graceful and delicate they could be. Voting took place during lunch and the winners were announced that evening at the Homecoming game. Cassandra Bugg was crowned the Sophomore Class Princess. Beth Tanner was announced as the Junior Princess. Tammy Thompson was crowned Senior Princess. Appearing in Saint Paul’s Homecoming Parade are Brunswick Senior High School’s Homecom¬ ing Queen Cynthia Taylor and Senior Princess Tammy Thompson. Then, the moment everyone was waiting for-who would become the 1982 Homecoming Queen? Mr. Baird With fluid gracefulness Angela Carter models her evening wear. proudly proclaimed Cynthia Taylor the Homecoming Queen.

Dawne Scott dazzles the audience in her sports¬ wear. Beth Tanner sports red cords and a blue blazer in the casual wear competition. Belinda Evans, Joan Blackwell, Cynthia Taylor and Sheila Jones try to smile pleasantly as they wonder which one of them will be chosen to represent their class. Homecoming Queen Cynthia Taylor and senior princess Tammy Thompson share their first dance with their escorts, Arthur Winfield and Isaac Thompson respectively. In addition to sit¬ ting together as a court at the football game, the Queen and her princesses led the opening dance at the Homecomming Dance. 53 A Taste Of Success The Lady Bulldogs began the season in early September and went undefeat¬ ed for the District season. Sweeping through the Southside District and ter¬ rorizing opposing teams, the Lady Bulldogs soon became known as one of the best teams in the district. The Lady Bulldogs earned a 17-0 record by the end of the regular season. Antoinette Peebles leads the team as the highest scorer, with an average of 15.9 points per game. The highlight of her season came in the game against Greensville, when she scored twenty- two points. Blowing by the teams in the district, the Lady Bulldogs were never really challenged. The biggest blowout was against Greensville, where the win¬ ning margin was 44 points. And even the “closest” was no squeaker against Nottoway, the Bulldogs won by “only” 13 points. The Lady Bulldogs racked up a total of 890 points for the year as compared to a meager 465 by the op¬ posing teams for the year, giving our team a scoring advantage of almost two to one. Although Flossie Stokes hit the floor, she still struggled for control of loose ball. Selena Gilliam saw trouble from Prince Edward and rushed in as Antoinette Peebles just looked amazed be¬ cause she didn’t believe Flossie actually fell. 17-0 Scoreboard Brunswick 53 . .

Russell Roberts says, “They hold the same importance as the boy’s basketball team.” Alice Gregory says, “Fantastic!!” John Oscar Hicks says, “They look great.” Scoreboard The District Tournament held no surprise for the seemingly unbeatable Lady Bulldogs. Their opponents were, in a sense, “No comp.” The first game in the tournament was against Park View, and having defeated them two times in regular season play, no trou¬ ble was expected. And indeed there was none. The Lady Bulldogs went into the game with confidence and easily emerged victorious with a 72-43 win. For the 18th time in a row this season, Brunswick’s team had simply outplayed their opponents. But before advancing to Regional play, the Lady Bulldogs had one more obstacle to overcome-Nottoway, the only other team left standing in the district. But here again, Brunswick had already put Nottoway to rest two times in regular season play and were not expecting trouble with this last hurdle. Outscoring Nottoway by 29 points, the Lady Bulldogs increased their overall record to 19-0: an excellent record with which to go into Regional play. Now, however, Brunswick was go¬ ing against untried teams, teams that, until this point, had only been heard of. The first game in Regional play was against the Monarchs, a most impres¬ sive name for what proved to be a most impressive team. The Lady Bulldogs soon realized they were playing a team worthy of their effort. Suddenly, the team had to battle hard just to stay in the game. In fact, as the last few sec¬ onds in the game ticked away, the Lady Bulldogs found themselves in a very unusual position-they were be¬ hind! And then it happened. The lead¬ ing scorer of the year, the game maker, the one and only Antoinette Peebles was fouled. With pressure reserved usually for the pros, Antoinette stepped to the free-throw line. She sank the first shot to tie the score. The crowd screamed and shouted as never Antoinette goes up for a goal only to come down empty handed as her shot is blocked by a Lady before. Now, all eyes were riveted on the last chance Brunswick had to win this all important game. A lone player approached the foul line. She looked at the basket, dribbled, looked and eased a shot up that seemed to take forever to glide through the air. The shoot was good!! Brunswick had won another game. The record was now 20-0 for the season. The 1 ranked team in the region now loomed on the horizon. Poquo¬ son’s Lady Islanders were next in line, but here, the Lady Bulldogs season was to end on a momentarily disap¬ pointing note. Due to a night of poor shooting and costly turnovers, the Brunswick team came away empty handed. But could a team with a 20-1 season and three players on the all tournament team be called “empty handed”? As Mr. Baird said the next day “The Lady Bulldogs lost 35-33, but they are WINNERS in our book.” Empty Handed?? Monarch.

Elvis Seward, Monte Pulley, Tony Coleman, and A Barner Golf Moves To Spot With a freshman and sophomore ros¬ ter, the Golf Team took to the links this year after not existing for a year. To be sure, this inactivity hindered their ability to win. They ended the season with 0 wins and 10 loses. Coach Clary contributes this record to inexperience as a team and to the fact that the Bull¬ dog golfers simply are not old enough to have had the great deal of practice it would have taken to defeat teams steeped in the traditions of golf, like Colonial Heights and L.C. Bird. Golf started early in the school year and seemed to be half over before any¬ one knew it had begun. Golf had tradi¬ tionally been a very quiet sport here at BSHS, and because the contests could not be held at school, very few stu¬ dents were able to attend. But those that did will never forget the long afternoon of following that tiny ball all over the course. Checking their equipment to ensure there are no problems, Andy Walker, Mike Cheely, Everett Gibson and Mike Lipton prepare for an afternoon of work. Mike Lipton’s ball explodes off the tee as his teammate Everett Gibson takes note of the ball’s flight. With his wood beginning its swing Ryan Henry tee’s off another hole. Concentrating on form helps Andy Walker gets better distance and placements on each shot. HUH Evangeline Thompson used everything she had to ensure a good grade on the GCT as Timmi Toler, Curman Tucker, Paula Vaughan and Sharon Thomas utilize more sedate means of reasoning. The seniors, having finished all standardized tests, went to the cafeteria to work on career interest forms: Sean Tatum, Angela Edmonds, Valerie Burns, Wanda Merritt, Meredith Brown, Thomas Mays; (back table) Martin Merkel and Jennifer Hockaday. Scores Raised!! “Test! All we ever do around her is take tests!” This was one of our more common laments heard throughout the halls during the dead of winter. Not only did we have regular classroom tests to contend with, but then they threw national and state tests at us, too. But we took it in stride. The first week in March roared in for the 10th graders in the form of the GCT. We realized that this was an im¬ portant test, for no matter what else we did in school we would not gra¬ duate without a passing grade here. We stood the test: more of us passed than any other 10th grade class before us. The next week the SRA’s assaulted the Juniors. For three days we count¬ ed, thought, figured, thought, remem¬ bered, thought and we even guessed a couple of times. We had heard of this test. This one little test would be used to rank us against other students in the country. Our pride was at stake, and we did not falter. Our scores were sig- nificently higher than the scores from the year before. Even the seniors felt the pressure of tests on the College Boards that were given throughout the year. We knew that few would look at these scores, and that our friends would probably . 4 « : -’ ' ■ Knowing the affect SRA would have on their future, Preston Lewis, Tim Lightbourne, Tim Jones, Yvette Jones, John Kelly, Leonard Jones and Alisa Jackson made sure they left no blanks while Paula Lofton needed to rest.

Our gratification came when we received that heart-stopping letter saying that we had been accept¬ ed at the college we had wanted to at¬ tend so badly. M) Alfonzo Morgan, Clarence Moore and Joe Mer¬ edith showed everyone that the sophomores could score on the GCT by paying close attention to the “Main Idea” section.

Bulldogs Go To Regionals Like a well oiled machine the Bull¬ dogs would roll onto the floor. Cheers and applause, sounding much like thunder, greeted them. Everyone knew that this team was here to play ball. The individual players worked smoothly, the team cranked out victo¬ ry after victory, and the coaching kept the team on target all season. Compiling an 18-7 record for the sea¬ son. The bulldogs had very little trou¬ ble in the District Tournament, defeat¬ ing both Bluestone and Greensville. In Regionals, the team defeated Varina by ten points and York by eight. Then the season came to an abrupt halt when the Bulldogs were defeated by Kennedy.

Many times during the day and throughout the year we got the chance to breath some fresh, cool air and feel cool breezes and the freedom of being out¬ doors before school, between classes, at break and at lunch. The bus loading platform, the steps and the smoking area were all places we could go on a regular basis. In the Fall and Spring it was great to get out for a few minutes. In the dead of winter it was not so great. Some days were cold and rainy and on even a few, snowy. But outside we went. We went outside for other things, too, like drivers ed., fire drills, PE and field day. Occasionaly we got to watch a football or softball game. The band rehearsed outside during football sea¬ son, getting their steps perfected. There was also the outside of before school and after school; both very dif¬ ferent from each other, but still, out¬ doors! Rodney Waller and Tim Gibson chuckle over a small joke at the back door that would soon be the smoking area.

The Team Behind The Team Behind every team there were the cheerleaders. They were the spirit of the team. They exhilaratingly pro¬ vided everlasting support, showed en¬ during sportsmanship, and stood be¬ hind the team at each athletic contest. A few stomps, several claps, an occa¬ sional wiggle, and some good singing made up the beat that captivated and demanded response from both the team and the spectators.

Team Serves Up Aces Relying on the experience and eye of the individual team members, the Ten¬ nis Team served up a most impressive record. With the number of seniors and returning players, the team was destined to be good and they were. Sel¬ dom could fault be found in the singles matches and the doubles play never let the fans down. Late in the winter and early in the spring as the buses rolled out, you could see the team practicing serves and volleys. With each passing day the serves became more powerful and ac¬ curate, the volleys seemed tighter and more controlled. And still they prac¬ ticed. But when the season opened, all the practice paid off. Serving up Aces and sending the ball back with more on it than it had arrived with was the stock and trade of the team. Match after match rolled by and the Tennis Team did not falter. They finished the season with a strong record, one they and the school could be proud of. There was one thing though. A cou¬ ple of very unusual hair arrangement appeared on the courts. Do you think that playing tennis can really make you lose all you hair? Larry Parrish stands ready to return an oppo¬ nents serve. Tennis Team: Rick Henry, Larry Parish, Thomas Mays, Willie Raymond, Doug Lipton; (Back) Thomas Warrington, Mike Lipton, Arthur Winfield, Cleve Packer, and Coach Bollinger.

With all the rain delays the Baseball team had a hard time getting the ball rolling. One game was even cancelled due to so many postpone¬ ments. But even with a 6-11 record, our Baseball Bulldogs finished the season third in the district. They beat most of the local rivals, Nottoway, Greens¬ ville, and Park View, but had trouble with larger schools out of the district like Holy Cross from Lynchburg. We watched them practice each da after school in the spring (when il wasn’t raining). Before that we watched the field being dug up and re¬ made. And we watched the team pla) ball. According to Coach Leemon, the pitching staff was the highlight of the team, with the hitting being perhap: the most unrewarding. But with e gleam in his eye, he said that all bu one starter returns for ’84. Heading for another away game are: James Thomp¬ son, Herman Morgan, Loren Goldesberry, Michael Wood and Coach Crane. Left-hander Jon Gibson gets ready to punch one up the middle. Making sure everyone knows his assignment before a game are: Ryan Henry, James Thompson, Loren Goldesberry, Jon Gibson, Herman Morgan, Martin Astrop, Greg Moore, Michael Headspeth, and Andy Walker. 70 Greg Moore is about to burn one by another batter. 1 Coach Reekes makes sure that Greg Moore Jon Gibson works on the pitchers mound as and Jon Gibson lay out the bases correctly.

Softball Team Scores Big! The Red-Hot Softball Team left their mark on the Southside District this year. They were undefeated in regular season play. A few games were close but most were a “cake walk” as the team defeated Park View 22-2 and Nottoway 37-7. It was obvious to all, these ladies, came to play ball! Although drawing fewer spectators than many sports, the team continual¬ ly played inspired ball, paying atten¬ tion all the time to what was going on in the game, getting the big hit when needed and not making errors due to inattention. The team was well coached and worked smoothly all sea¬ son. The only disconcerning note came in regional play where the team’s pro¬ gress was abrutly halted by Manches¬ ter. Teresa Mays prepares to “burn” one by a batter in early season practice. Coach Reekes instructs team members on how to get on base: Antionette Peebles, Margaret Macklin, Belinda Evans, Gracie Thomas and Bet¬ ty Murphy. Listening to instructions early in the season are: (front) Shadria Stith, Teresa Mays, Linda Alex¬ ander, and Belinda Evans; (2nd) Dottie Bell, Evette Jones, Samantha Vaughan, and Patricia Johnson; (3rd) Tammi Thompson, Laurie Put¬ ney, Pam Lee, Jr. High, and Jr. High; (back) Sylvia Alexander, Betty Murphy, and Tyunga Ruffin.

These are the students that time after time went onto the field, or court, to do battle with a stu¬ dent from another school. Sometimes our students outmatched their oppo¬ nents, sometimes not; sometimes there was a crowd behind them, urging them on, sometimes not. But continually, the athletes went into the game with the fierce Bulldog determination. They worked hard, they sweated, they were bruised and twisted; they strained muscles and even broke a few bones, and still they went back into the game ready for more. They found out it was sometimes hard to stand in front of friends and play when so much was expected of them. And some found it even harder to play in front of empty bleachers. But they played, and if we remember the morning announce¬ ments, there were many more victory announcements than lost announce¬ ments. Brunswick Athletes did them¬ selves and their school proud, all sea¬ son long. Sharon Thompson and Dottie Bell display 3- Year Award plaques from Cheerleading.

During break or during lunch we could always find those few faithful couples, standing in their favorite spot, discussing their favorite subject-each other! This page is dedicated to all our Brunswick Senior High couples. Those that lasted, those that didn’t, and those that tried. As we watched them in the halls, dressed alike, holding hands or ex¬ changing rings, we began to wonder what this magical gift was that they’d received to make them so happy and content with each other. Each couple seemed to be on cloud 9 (some even moved up to cloud 10). Of course these relationships wer¬ en’t totally perfect. There were those “spats” that turned paradise into reali¬ ty, but after the “discussion” was over, the best part came-“making-up”! So we applaude the young couples of Brunswick and wish you all the happi¬ ness and all the best! Darrell Seward gets a grip on Barbara Harrison as they “hold hands?” Wanting to spend each minute together, Thelma Shearin and Neal Edwards even share lunch time. Before heading to math, Tracey Kidd gets in a few words with Rodney Waller. Exhibiting another favorite pastime of couples, Mike Lucy and Nancy Samford lean on a radia¬ tor. Each day at lunch, Allen Vaughan and Georgia Clem would be found on their steps outside the library. Valerie Bruce and George Callis make their grand entrance at the prom. 76 Sheila Craig and Keith Walker were seen in each other’s company quite frequently. Linda Anderton and Terry Floyd take another opportunity to be together. Being on the Track Team allowed Susette Taylor and Tim Games to spend even more time together. I Annette Walton and Mike Wood pass their time away eating lunch. Arriving together for the prom are Chris Lucy and Beth Tanner. Tammy Thompson and Alfred McGeachy spent many memorable hours on the front steps. 77 Getting glitter on themselves as well as on the stars are Mike Cheely, Steve Capps, Ricky Edmonds, Teresa Archer, Jon Gibson, and Charles Grantham. 4 Making Dreams Come True The boxes of stars, paper and glitter had arrived the week before, and each of us had checked the list to see if we were to work on the prom. On Monday, the wire was hung for the ceiling and walls so that we could start the deco¬ rating. On Tuesday, roll after roll of crepe paper was stapled and pulled across the gym and still we needed more. But this was the critical part, if the ceiling looked skimpy, the entire effect was wasted. All the hanging decorations began to take shape on Wednesday and by Thursday they were being hung from the sky, it seemed. The transformation of bits and pieces of foil and paper to huge reflec¬ tive stars and constellations was spec¬ tacular. After seeing all the boxes of lifeless paper on Monday, it was diffi¬ cult to believe that on Friday, these glittery objects had transformed our gym into a spectacular place for a prom. But even then we could not rest. The finishing touches had to be ap¬ plied; this straightened, that adjusted, until it was just right. By Friday, we Matilda Brodnax and Issac Thompson, taking a minute from their inspection tour, pose in front of the “Stairway to Heaven.” Buying a unique prom dress is often difficult, but Jackie Hawkins found her prize in a local store. saw that our effort had paid off. The compliments from the faculty were lavish that day. But where did those silver “Dream Drifters” come from? 78 Determined to straighten up the star-studded trees, Ricky Gholson tried to reposition the trunk. Charles Grantham took on the most difficult task of draping the ceiling with streamers and wire. During Saturday afternoon Auto Mechanics carwash, Mark Clemments and Keith Walker polished a Chevette to make it special for the prom. Cynthia Taylor, Debra Taylor, Valerie Collier and Tammy Thompson take a look at the spark¬ ling Junior-Senior prom. I!

Getting into the tempo of the night are Kevin Owens, Margaret MacKlin Jeffrey Barnes, and Sharon Williams. Saddened by the nearness of the end of the prom, Doing the “smurf” are William Watson, Sharon Thompson, Dawne Scott, and Ricky Gholson. Ivan Hargrove watched a few last party-goers dance to one of the last songs. 80 Stealing a moment to themselves are Jon Gibson and Teresa Adcock. New arrivals, Jerry Edmonds, Lynette Marks, Joan Blackwell and William Scott, prepare for an evening of memories. Slowing down the pace are Cynthia Jackson and Scott Hall. Captain Sam expertly entertains non stop with a variety of the latest hits. 81 When Will It All End? Who would have ever thought that being a senior would be so expensive? Not only does being a senior put a hole in our bank accounts, it also ate up our free time! Senior Portraits ($) had to be taken in fitted drapes or ruffled shirts and dinner jackets. Hat sizes had to be taken for caps ($) and height measure¬ ments taken for gowns ($). Tassels ($) had to be ordered as well as announce¬ ments ($) for Graduation. Cap and Sheila Johnson eagerly rips open her cap and gown package as Edith Rhodes calmly listens to Mrs. Long’s directions. Jeffery Harrison begins to realize that graduation is near at hand. Waiting in line for Senior portraits in the fall started these Seniors thinking about graduation: Passavia Harrison, Valerie Burns, and Lisa Wil¬ liams. gown pictures ($) had to be taken, also. The cost of these “Senior Luxuries” was unbelievable. In order to get these well deserved rewards, we were some¬ times forced to give up a ballgame here, a movie there or even a much sought after concert. But all this did end on graduation night, and no one regretted pictures, or cap and gown, or any other Senior Luxuries that night. Jackie Hawkins carefully watches the represen¬ tative total her order for announcements as Wil¬ liam Watson and Darlene Lewis wait to place their orders. Filling out yet another set of orders, this time Martin Merkel, holding his order form, gets for announcements, are Rosa Barner, Eve Wynn measured for his mortarboard, and Jeff Curry. 82 John Jackson is momentarily stunned as the photographer prepares him for his Senior Portrait. JIV- Impatiently waiting to procede to the field are Michael Coleman, Mark Clements, John Jackson, Norman Bugg, Dylan Peterson, Stewart Wilkins and Thomas Mays. Cheryl Blackwell, Angela Callis, Barbara Harri¬ son and Trina Woody roll up their program and put them up their sieves as they file out by Mr. Jones’ shop. Michael Yancey offers a friend a heartfelt hand¬ shake as Ken Yeatts lends a helping hand to Stewart Wilkins. Mingling in front of the Library prior to the final moment are Wendell Simmons, Ivan Hargrove, Elsie Davis and Burt Easter. Anxiety shows on the faces of Barbara Harrison, Linda Anderton and Pern Hobbs as Mrs. Smith offers last minute pointers and encouragement. 83 165 Graduate Outdoors After the hustling and bustling which would make everything perfect for graduation, the big night finally ar¬ rived. The 165 graduates marched onto the football field proudly displaying their blue and white caps and gowns that had given them so much trouble in fit¬ ting. The Brunswick Senior High School Band, directed by Mr. Tanner, accompanied the graduates with the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance.” After the arrival of the graduates, Rev. Livesay presented the Invoca¬ tion, saying, “the country as well as the community will benefit from the graduation tonight.” Salutatorian, Mark Finch, stated “we must know where we are before we can correct the mistakes.” Mr. Baird recognized the honor graduates at the 1983 BSHS Graduation Exercise. Valedictorian, Neil McClenney, told the ’83 graduates, “not to take han¬ douts but to work for what they want¬ ed.” Dr. S. Dallas Simmons, President of Saint Paul’s College, encouraged the graduates to further their education with computers. After the speeches Mr. Baird recog¬ nized the honor students from the sen¬ ior class. Then finally the big moment arrived, Graduation! Lined up according to size, each gra¬ duate anxiously awaited that proud, triumphant moment of walking across the platform, while hearing his her full name ringing out of the speakers, and receiving a piece of paper that marked the end of twelve long years. Salutatorian, Mark Finch, “Assessed the Situation” in his com¬ mencement speech. Dr. S. Dallas Simmons, guest speaker and Presi¬ dent of Saint Paul’s College, “encourages the class of ’83 to further its education.” Valedictorian, Neil McClenney tells the seniors “not to take handouts, but to work for what is wanted.” Anxiously awaiting their diplomas are: (r to 1) Mi- cheal Williams, Sharon Thompson, Ricky Ed¬ monds, Shelia Hicks, Venita Barner, Lynette Wal¬ ton, Denise Clary, Terry Fletcher, David Wilson. Sounds of great joy would soon be heard from (first row) Patricia Ingram, Sheila Johnson, Vera Smith, JoAnn Cabiness, Denise Nowell, and Sherry Watkins; (second row) Rodney Clarke, Billy Tuck, Jeff Curry, Walter Pritchett, Bernard Hicks, Elmer Harper; (third row) Eve Wynn, Rosa Barner, Wanda Merritt, and Shelia Fields. 84 Calmly awaiting the arrival of the evenings guest are: (band) Shelia Hawkins, David Talbott, Brian Foddrell, Darren Tutt, and Jerry Bell; (choir) Edward Brown, Pearl Peebles, Angela Brodnax, Sharon Babb, Maude Owens, and Be¬ verly Gates.

Sharon Rainey started the ceremony by being the first to accept her diploma as Sheila Johnson, JoAnn Cabiness, Denise Nowell and Sherry Watkins wait in line. All the different emotions that Graduation night produces in people can be seen in these gradu¬ ates: (clockwise from left); Sandra Diggs, Dottie Bell, Matilda Brodnax, Stephanie Lewis, Jackie Seward, Cynthia Taylor, Theresa Mays, Pam Lee, Jackie Hawkins, Alice Gregory, and Sharon Thompson. 85 A Measure Of Success The school, as an essential element of a democratic society, should invest students with a sincere commitment to the inalienable dignity of every man. This belief in the inherent worth of the individual can be sustained by an un¬ derstanding, respect, and tolerance for those of different cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Recognizing the varied economic and environmental factors of the area, BSHS believes that the curriculum must be diverse and individualized and should respond to the intellectual, so¬ cial, moral, physical, and aesthetic needs of a heterogeneous student body. A balanced and integrated pro¬ gram of education must incorporate cultural, academic, vocational, avoca- tional, and extracurricular offerings. Teachers must strive to develop in their pupils the attitude that a good education cannot be acquired without self-discipline and the desire to achieve excellence. Every student, if properly motivated, can attain some measure of success, and it is the re¬ sponsibility of the faculty and adminis¬ tration to disdain mediocrity and to ex¬ emplify standards of academic and moral excellence. Mr. Dale Baird, Principal, is responsible for making sure BSHS runs smoothly. Coordinating everything from student and faculty responsibil¬ ities to community involvement, his duties in¬ clude school planning and management, instruc¬ tion, business and maintenance supervision, school plant management and even the transpor¬ tation of students. Mr. Jerry Burke, Assistant Principal Adminis¬ tration, is in charge of discipline, the cafeteria, key distribution, money collection, ground main¬ tenance, attendance, after school activities, parking and serves as the Athletic Director. Mr. Tenus F. Thompson, Assistant Principal General, handles lockers, registers, clubs, bus¬ es, books, after school activities, discipline and serves as the Assistant Athletic Director. Mrs. Marion Russell, Director of Guidance, not only has the regular duties of a counselor, but must also organize and administer guidance ob¬ jectives, coordinate community support and maintain an individual inventory service, place¬ ment and follow-up. Mr. Kurt Harrup, Counselor, is here to help stu¬ dents understand their abilities, aptitudes, and interest in terms of their present and future op¬ portunities. 86 mm mcAT inn FACULTY I MONDAY I TUESDAY How Can We Ever Forget . . . .

There were so many things to be encountered on our way to suc¬ cess. There were tests to be taken, ad¬ justments to be made in schedules and to the building itself. But we did it at our own pace. We realized that this was the year to buckle down and get serious with stud¬ ies and to make many decisions. At this stage in our lives, inspiration and de¬ termination planted their seeds; seeds that would grow and bring forth suc¬ cess. There was a time for everything and a pace at which everything was done. Sophomores found time to study, take driver’s ed, have a leisurely chat, eat, shoot basketball or just relax with a magazine in the library. Just as there was a time for all these activities, there would come a time for the sophomores to advance, excel and succeed. Taking a little break from studies, Tammy Brown, Cassandra Bugg and Denise Jackson find time to have a nice “girl to girl” chat. Here, the sophomores gather in the audito¬ rium for an assembly, showing a sense of ma¬ turity to their upper classmen as they listen attentively. brunsw DRIVER BRUNSWIC Keith Wynn, Annie Stewart, Steve Woofter, Terry Brodnax, Willie Blackwell, Henry Pritchett, Clarance Moore and Alvin Davis take their time to consider all possible answers on a World History test before they decide on one. Nicky Evans concentrates on the instruc¬ tions given to him by Mrs. Graves as he ma¬ neuvers the driver’s education car. Sophomores Do It All Classes, clubs, classes, break, classes, lunch, classes, games, classes, classes, classes. We found out the first weeks that there was always some¬ thing to do at the Senior High. Never before had we had such an opportunity to expand our minds and develop our personalities. We were given the reign to act as adults and we soon began to understand the “ropes” here. By Christmas, we knew our way around. Catching a cool sip between classes are Mandell Johnson, Lisa Gupton, Angela Carter and Linda Newcomb. We could learn everything here, from speaking a foreign language to build¬ ing a house. And best of all, there was still time to socialize. We had break and clubs and Homecoming and ball- games! We could create wonders in art or cut something in half in shop. We breezed through the GCT and then en¬ viously watched as the upperclassmen prepared for the prom. We could shar¬ Alvin Davis checks out a new tune on his “Walkman” at break.

Yes sir, the senior high was a pretty good place to be.

On Poster Day, the. sophomores went after the title with all they had, making posters out of any piece of paper they could find. Participating here were Gracie Thompson, Steve Woofter, Mellissa Barner, Nina Smith, Cathy Peterson, Patricia Trusty, Kelly Peterson and Dawne Scott.

This is the year that Juniors practiced doing what seniors do. We purchased our class rings this year to avoid paying more next year. We cre¬ ated and decorated for the senior prom. We hosted our annual magazine drive to raise funds. And we began taking tests that would have a strong bearing on our futures. Imbedded in our minds was the fact that we, the Juniors, had one more step to take; one more grade promotion to make. Until then, we toiled away, seeking our dreams of success and reaching towards and acheiving our goals. We were aware of the fact that this year was, in actuality, preparing us for our Senior year. Marie Parham and Maude Owens had the honor of being in the Junior class; the class that each year spends two days trying to answer the ques¬ tions on the SRA test. Sharing a laugh, Julie Hall and Thomas Starke sit on the steps by the library killing time.

We did all the usual junior things, decorating for the Prom, ordering rings, but still there was just a twinge of envy as we watched the seniors order their gradu¬ ation material. We soon realized that next year it would be our turn. We deveolped our style and class spirit, knowing both would be impor¬ tant soon. We made some new friends and, regrettably, lost a few. Not only was each of us changing, but so were our friends. Friendships were made this year that would last forever. Knowing that next year would be our last was also a little sad. But when we exempted some of the final exams as juniors, it became clear that if we worked on our classes next year, we could be taking the very last exams of our lives!! 104 Ricky Edmonds, Ricky Greene and Teresa Archer helped with one of the junior’s main projects—decorating for the Prom. Knowing that they might only have the next year of going up and down these steps seemed to make them a little easier for Lisa Walker, Mar¬ tha Washington and Pam Mason. Avi Ruffin realized that this could be his very last exam. Learning about supply and demand economics were Elsie Davis, Arlene Rhodes, Carlos Smith, Juanita Stith, Robert Lawson and Andre’ Coo¬ per.

The time had come when we, the Seniors, could leave class three minutes earlier, could go to the auditorium before the under¬ classmen for an assembly and could exempt our exams both semesters if we had that magic “B” average. We didn’t need to dread the SRA tests, for we had advanced beyond the testing age. Instead we looked forward to watching as the Juniors decorated the Prom for us. We also anticipated the day that we, bedecked in our white and blue robes, would proudly march to the end of an aisle where our diplo¬ mas awaited us. We, the Seniors who won the spirit stick, the penny race and the poster contest during Homecoming would leave our mark behind. Brunswick Senior High would never forget our extraordinary school spirit nor our out¬ standing academic and atheletic achei- vements. But more memorable than Seniors could be found in any mood at any time, as expressed by Troy Mason, Margaret Macklin, Annette Walton, Deborah Lambert, Tim Light- bourne, Keith Gillus, Rosa Barner, Selena Gil¬ liam and Jackie Hawkins. that was the simple fact that we were the best senior class to come from BSHS. Sheila Fields knew graduation was nearing as she posed for her Senoir Portrait. Both joy and relief are seen on the faces of these seniors as they enter the auditorium for the first time as seniors: Billy Tuck, Alfred McGeachy, Tammi Thompson, Jerry Bell, Vernice Boothe, Lora Coleman, Passavia Harrison, Diane Jack- son, Sharon Williams and Patrica Ebron.

Soon things became confusing and everyone knew they should start putting their future together. For those college bound students there were College Boards to take, ap¬ plications to send and fees to be paid. For those who were going into the job market, the questions were “What do I want to do?’’ “Where do I look?” “How do I find an employer?” Each senior waited to have his senior portrait taken. Some waited to hear from college applications, some from job applications and some just waited for the 3:04 bell. After working so hard for last year’s prom, the class of ’83 enjoyed lying back and letting the class of ’84 create their special night. By the successful completion of a year’s work, seniors looked forward to exempting their final exams. And then the one, all important day was upon them. Graduation was here. After put¬ ting together an entire school career, seniors felt for the first time that great feeling of both joy and relief.

The Conclusion Begins We will encounter little difficulty putting 1983 back together. The weather was strange, the athletic teams were great, and graduation was outside. Spending a few moments with this yearbook has flooded our memo¬ ries with people’s names and faces that were believed gone forever. Familiar sounds ring in our minds: the clatter in the lunchroom, the laughter in the auditorium, the roar in the gym, the hush in the library. Our mind pulls up long dormant scenes; the smoking area, the parking lot, a teacher, a friend. Remember the pride that swelled the gym during the basketball games? The quietness of a stairwell during class? The brightly lit drink machine? The reassurance of the Guidance Of¬ fice? The hustle and bustle of the of¬ fice? Remember? Relive the classes-Government, English, Math, Science, and Study hall. Relive the feeling of being behind the wheel the first day of Drivers Ed. Re¬ live the feeling of your last exam. Re¬ live the moment you saw your cap and gown. Relive the moment you touched your diploma. Let all your memories come back to you. The days we had snow; the days pictures were taken; the days you talked with friends at break; the days we had pizza for lunch; the days you felt good; the days you felt bad. Look upon your diploma with pride. Feel the warmth of you classring. You can put it all together again, 1983, just flip back through the pages and re¬ member. 144 Since many of the students here join the mil tary, they were treated, at the Pappy Elli Fly In, to the sight of what they might b doing in only a few months. ‘ ■ V’A“ i cr ro Duildog (Lawrenceviile, Va.)
