Days into It happens all the time, days turn into weeks, and weeks into a year. Who would ever think that just going to high school could influence so many lives. Reading, writing, and arithmetic were just a few of the things we were taught. We learned through the year how to adjust to the changes that took place in every day life. It was all known to the more informal persons as the pains of trying to grow up, and total confusion played a very large part in that process. Going to new classes held the keys to open the doors unavailable to some before. Sopho- mores explored the new found world of disec- tion as Biology shed a new light on such sim- ple things as the segments of a worm. As the Juniors bid physical education a fond farewell, some settled down to research the unknown regions of Chemistry and Physics. And government still, as always, awaited the - Seniors. Vocational school remained an option for some; training tomorrow’s welders, cosmetologists, nurses, and carpenters. In the 1985-86 school year we joined millions of students in establishing our branch of SADD, Stu- dents Against Driving Drunk. Members of this organization worked dili- gently to decrease the number of deaths among teenagers attributed to A tune for Prudence Lovely. sings one of the many songs from Tum- bleweeds to his stage love, Kim Taylor. They played Tumbleweeds and Prudence memory — ie drunk driving. This was another stellar year for sports and the Blue Devils athletes. The year finished with the Blue and White making their mark again on Virginia’s sports by winning the Group A Baseball Championship. Amelia High School felt the heat when they were thrashed 15 to 2. But the baseball team, though the only one to go so far, was not the only team to do or die for dear ole CHS. The wrestling team had its best finish yet by finishing third in the state. Other teams were not to be denied their places in the sun either. Of the nine major sports, boys and girls, seven of them either finished first or second in the district. It was nothing to find a Blue Devil team in a tournament, meet, or playoff. The all-county, all-district, all-regional, and all-state rosters were littered with Blue Devil personnel and two coaches won coach of the year honors. But the thing to be remem- bered was that all of the ath- letes were winners no matter how many wins or losses tripped the scales. During Homecoming week, we participated in a week full of outrageous days; tacky day, hug-a-devil day, blue and white day, hat day, and wild hair day as well as auctioning off various team members to serve as slaves- for-a-day. When the season to be jolly ... Greg Johnson OUT OF THE BLUES?
