Like other choir members, Heather had to get back from the Christmas concert before finding out about the new in- ductees. However, the new members had to wait until March for the actual induction ceremony, which was postponed four times due to the winterts big chill.

The extra hours of work were all worthwhile n the long run Waiting for news of college acceptance was perhaps one of the most frustrating ex- periences of the year for seniors. Students who had enrolled in honors classes and advanced studies felt they had an edge in college acceptance, especially if their grades were good. Some- times, because of the seem- ingly endless hours of home- work, students wondered what crazy thought had possessed them when they signed up for honors classes. As PSAT and SAT scores, college acceptances, and Advanced Placement results came in, students were glad they had gone the extra mile. Senior Ellen Bradley said, ttl decided to take advanced classes because I thought theytd help me get into a bet- ter collegeT Junior and sophomores with less immediate college concerns, took advanced classes for other reasons. ttI took advanced courses for the challenge? said Lee 162 e Honorts Class and RVGS Thomason, uI just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. Highly motivated students also had the option of attend- ing the Governors School for Science and Technology. Previously housed in four trailers behind Patrick Henry High School, the school moved to a brand new facility. Early in the year, Governor Gerald Baliles traveled through Roanoke, stopping to dedicate the new building. The Governor, Mayor Noel Taylor, and other political and educa- tional leaders spoke at the dedication ceremony. Housed within the modern building was a state- of-the-art scientific equip- ment including an infrared spectometer and an electron microscope. These high-tech instruments enabled students to study science, mathematics, and technol- ogy more intensely. Mary Ann Ehlshlager Mary Ann Ehlshlager

They made history. From famous quotes to all kinds of statistics, the uKnight LetteriT and Accoladeii staffs worked hard to produce what the student body wanted to read. uThis is the hardest class I havefi stated Dan Robinson. The uKnight Letter staff produced the monthly newspaper with regular fea- tures such as iiSenior Spotlighti, and a uDear Clemmi, column. But what made them a successful pub- lication was their ability to have fun with the issues they discussed. The parody of Hunting Hills High, founded by the creative D.st at K- 92, developed into the theme of the April Fools edi- tion entitled the Hunting Hills Herald. Sponsor Mrs. Kristi Fry stated, til told them they could do anything they wanted as long as it was not deroga- tory or crude.H Ads for BMWis and a spring sports review of the croquet and yachting teams by Biff Ham- ilton and Palmer Woodrowi made the paper a hot item. After staff members wrote the articles and took the pic- tures, they pasted everything up into a mock layout, proof- read, and sent it off to the Salem Times Register to be printed. iTm usually crazy on those daysf said Mrs. Kristi Fry. The itAccolade staff had their work cut out for them too. The production of the new spring supplement gave students a chance to ex- 1 64 - Publications They wrote Letters and produced Accolades change signatures Divided into five sections; the staff had students work- ing in the subjects of student life, sports, people, clubsi academics, and advertising. Each student wrote articles, took pictures, drew layouts, and thought up headlines to name only a few of the jobs that needed to be done for each spread. Sponsor Mrs. Sandra Ferguson commented, tiltis difficult for the first year students to understand the enormity of this project and there is a larger percentage of first year students on the staff this year. Co-editor Julie Stasik summed up her job by stat- ing, tiltis really hard to keep everything consistent.

The right type Preparing their copy for a deadline David Michie and Wendy Morris type in the hallway. Staff members often worked before and after school and even on weekends to meet deadlines. However there were the fun times. The week long summer camp at Hollins College gave every one who attended the chance to put their creativity to work. With the deadlines met and most of the pages in to the printer, the staff let loose at the traditional year end picnic, held at Mrs. Fergu- sonis house. However, the year was not quite over as the co-editors and members of the student life section retumed to school the after- noon after graduation to fin- ish up the graduation spreads and read over proofs of the final pages.
