“Putting it all together” ... 1983 ... the year with the bizarre weather, the new smoking shelter and the year of the greatest sports teams. 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

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.
