WOpening Polishing up the girGold and Blue, For a number of years it seemed as if the spirit and pride which had once been such a positive aspect of Charleston High School had become virtually nonexistent. Clubs were no longer active; student E support of school organizations reached a low; even the clubs themselves seemed totally uncommitted. The overall image of CHS was one of neglect and despair. As the 1985-86 year got underway it looked as if there would be t NEW little difference. Yet as the year progressed it became evident that CHS .- , was undergoing a change, a rather ordinary occurrence in a world where DIRECTION all things are subject to change However, at CHS the amending l element established itself in every area . . of school life. There arose a new student - attitude, a new organizational fervor, and ultimately a new direction - an upward, inspiring direction characterized by a desire to attain highly fixed goals. This revitalized spirit was present in nearly every facet of CHS. The football team leaped to a fantastic start, coupling their new-found enthusiasm with their well developed talent. Band members once again took pride in their appearance and performance. Students and faculty encouraged all organizations, offering their cheers and complimentary remarks in addition to their support and devotion. Still, although talents and skills were 'm n definitely in great supply, the difference i could not be attributed to any such gifts. Instead, the change was in SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE the hearts and minds of the students and faculty.

The installation of a new phone system ented a very innovative change for the staff. These tangible factors, however, very little to alter the publicts view of Charleston High. Only through the efforts he students and faculty could the former glory and enthusiasm be recaptured. As the image of CHS grew brighter and energy filled the halls of the historic ding, it appeared as if the sense of renewal had been radiated into the city of rleston itself. The downtown area underwent extensive refurbishing, recapturing elegance and style of the nineteenth century, just as CHS was reviving its former tation for excellence. The Capital Theater was transformed into a Showplace, played host to several well known entertainers.

However, amidst all the renovation, one was quite able to recognize the lystic factor. Yet in the minds of the students, the spark, the whole feeling for val resided in themselves.

CHS proudly brought home three trophies as well as having Cindy Reinacher nominated for Miss Kanawha Valley Majorette. John Lowery proudly accepted his first place award in male twirling, the band brought home a second place trophy for playing, and the majorettes received a third place award for corps routine. The band, under the direction of Robert Leurant, marched onto the field to uCortez. Then they proceeded to play Neutron Dance as Debbie Painter execut- ed her solo twirling routine. The majorettes captivated the audi- ence with their well performed Student Life 1 0 routine to the tune French Na- tional Defile March? Before receiving a well de- served ovation for his flawless routine, John Lowery twirled to Relax? Using ttCinderella as this year's originality theme, the majorettes performed to Bibbity-Boppity-Boo, itSome- day My Prince Will Come, and HGlamorous Life. Finally after a long night of playing, twirling, and marching, the anxiously awaited awards were presented. Said John Low- ery, It meant so much to win this year since the school was really supportive of me. John was so excited at winning the award that he broke his hand in the process!

Donning bermuda shorts, thongs, and sunglasses, students kicked off Homecoming Week by going all out for Beach Day. Toga Day, Hillbilly Day, Nerd Day, and Blue-and-Gold Day followed. Lunchtime brought with it varied activities, one of which was the Best Legs contest. jeff Fruit and Amber Perry strode away with top honors.

Proving that they were the llmiddlell class no longer, the Junior Class came away as the winner of the Olympiad. The game against Stonewall was the first CHS defeat of the season, but it was a joyous night for Becky Coleman, who was crowned Miss Mountain Lion 1985. THE MT.

CheryI Keyser, accompanied by Jeff Jones, and Antoinette Coleman, escorted by Kevin FIuker, were the senior attendants. The junior class selected as their attendant Kelly Baber, who was accompa- nied by Ken Yoakum. Debbie Bonner earned the sophomore place on the court and was escor- ted by Danny Bonner. Elections for the homecom- ing court were held after each homeroom selected a nominee to be placed on the ballots. The coronation of the queen topped off a fun-filled week of events in preparation for the traditional homecoming football game, which CHS won easily.

Student Life 16 High ' ' fashion Swatches, stirrup pants, vanity plates - what did they all have in common? They were all in style at Charleston High School during the 1985-86 school year. Aside from these newer trends, fashion stayed relatively tame through- out the year with people tending to go back to the basics when selecting their attire. In the girls department, pre- dominant during the fall and winter was the arrival of the new stirrup pants along with oversized sweaters. Also hot during these cool seasons were plaids - plaid shirts, plaid pants, plaid skirts, plaid sweaters - anything and everything with plaids! Big, bold floral prints were seen throughout the year and livened up even the dreariest of days. In the boys, department, things pretty much stayed familiar with an old pair of Levi's or a worn-in jeans jacket remaining the norm. However, the guys did reflect the times by wearing many more bulky sweaters than in previous years. In the accessories department the big news was definitely the Swatch watch. Produced in a rainbow of colors and designs, even with the large amount of students who owned them, few had Swatches exactly alike! Many people wore them two at a time on the same arm. Also big in accessories was costume jewelry. Fake pearls, rhinestones, and multicolored beads adorned the necks of many of the CHS girls this school year. Not only did people don acces- sories this year, but so did cars! Several students had vanity plates which had names or slo- gans on them to make their cars easily identifiable to friends or other motorists, and also to make their cars look cool . Although 1985-86 was not a banner year for exotic new fash- ions, it will long be remembered as a year in which almost any- thing went! mi WITH ONE SIDE of their hair shaved, Maria Zita and Julie Plantz are followers of the latest trend in hairstyles.

Student Life 18 I During fourth period at Charleston High School a thun- derous growl could be heard throughout the building as the students and their stomachs anx- iously awaited the ringing of the lunch bell at 11:45. When that glorious sound was heard, stu- dents rushed down the hallways, threw their books into their lock- ers, and ran off to a multitude of places including the cafeteria, Tudor's, Ginois, and Burger King. As students have discovered, lunch time was not just a time for eating. Some students could be found in the library studying for an upcoming test, while others x, A RELAXED NICKY Miller finishes her drink shortly before the end of the lunch period. TIME OUT Fon LUNCH may have been attending an important meeting for a club or organization. Most did not like to give up their lunch time but sometimes felt it was necessary. For most CHS students, lunch was a time to enjoy their freedom. They were found Itpigging out on pizza or Whoppers. Some students pre- ferred to bring their lunch to school and sit by their lockers on the floor. There they could finish homework or watch a favorite guy or girl pass by. Lunch time was for being with friends and enjoying a half hour of freedom in the middle of a busy day. LORRIE HATFIELD AND Dottie Nel- son discuss homework for their next class while relaxing during the lunch period. Student Life 19 LUhot strange things lurk InSIde lo ckers The Charleston High School lockers - those tiny, drab green, dented tin boxes - served as a ticloset away from home for many students' books, clothes, old lunches, tennis shoes, and dirty socks this school year. While many students kept their lockers spotless and clean, many more students opted to go for the cluttered look by tossing books and gym clothes into them. But some students tried for an even messier look which entailed having books fall out onto their heads as soon as their locker was opened! Decorations for lockers came in many different forms this year. A popular choice for males and females was taping posters to the inside of the locker door. Several posters became conversa- tion pieces as throngs of students Student Life 20 gathered around the open locker door to gape at the posters of famous actors, actresses, athletes, and models. Junior Debbie Brannon insis- ted that her pictures of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwartzene- ger should top the list of possible locker door candidates. However, junior Tony Watts disagreed. tiChristy Brinkley makes for a much better locker partner, he said. With their dented shelves, bro- ken hooks, unworkable combina- tions, and graffiti-covered walls, the CH8 lockers, whether occu- pied by one person or twenty, remained the one place at CHS where students could easily ex- press themselves and their per- sonalities. MOHAMMED MESLEH AND Sasan Maymendi laugh over a joke as they gather their books for their next class.

Student Life 22 Pedestrians, Beware - CHS Students are ON THE ROAD! It was the eve of your sixteenth birthday and several thoughts were passing through your mind. Were they of birthday cakes, parties, or gifts? No. First on your mind was one of the most impor- tant moments of teenage life - getting your drivers license. Over one-half of the students at Charleston High School had driv- ers licenses. Several students completed the driveris education courses offered at CHS, which included classroom instruction as well as actual hands-on driving experience. Said junior Terri Fish- er, itThe things I learned in driver's ed. class really helped me out when I took my learners test. I wouldnt have been able to answer several of the questions if it hath been for the class? However, even with the experi- ence gained in the drivers educa- A FEW YEARS ago drivers licenses were required to have pictures on them. Here are a few licenses belonging to both stu- dents and faculty members. tion course, most people were still anxious when taking their tests. I was a nervous wreckV, said senior Kathy KutiI recalling the day she took her driving test. Soon after driving tests were passed, the primping and fussing began in preparation for the license photo. Most students were grateful that they did not have to show their license for identifica- tion very often, for most license photos ended up looking like police mug shots! Students fortunate enough to have their own cars often drove to school in the mornings; however, parking proved to be a problem as no parking facilities were provid- ed for the students by the school. Most ended up parking on nearby streets at meters or at not so nearby parking lots, often at a slight cost. A DRIVERiS EDUCATION IN- STRUCTOR Mr. Harrison checks over his shoulder for on- coming traffic while demonstrat- ing proper lane changing proce- dures. The privilege of driving also brought with it new ways to have fun. Many students were seen ticruising down MacCorkle Ave- nue on the weekends, or sitting on the hoods of their cars watching other people pass by. While most juniors and seniors already had their licenses, many sophomores anxiously awaited their sixteenth birthday, for then they too could join the ranks of the licensed drivers of Charleston High. Student Life 23 A Time To GeT Away For Charleston High students, weekends were used to relieve stress and tension from a hard week at school. The majority of them could be found shopping at the Town Center Mall or just hanging out. Students could be seen at the movies with a friend or a special date. When the weather was warm many stu- dents of The High could be found parked along MacCorkle Avenue or just crusini in Kan- awha City. The more popular activities done on weekends were attending a party given by fellow classmates or going to the mid- night movies. Stefanie Young- bIood said, I like to go over to a friend's house or go out with a special guy. On certain weekends some CHS students found that going out of town with friends or family was a great way to spend their time. Many preferred going skiing at Snowshoe or Winter Place with family and friends. During hunt- ing season, CHS students pre- ferred neighboring counties for that sport. Student Life 24 Another great activity was working out. Guys liked to keep in shape by gong to the YMCA or Nautilus to exercise. Rico Brad- ley commented on how he liked to spend his week ends. In the mornings, I prefer to workout at the Donnally Street Community Center, so I can have my after- noons and evenings free. Many girls liked to attend aerobic clas- ses or do workouts shown on television at home. Denise Guerrant said, On 'Saturday mornings I come to CH8 and work with weights and play basket- ball. No matter where one went, another Charleston High student could have probably been found at the same location or nearby. For the typical CHS student a weekend consisted of relaxing and enjoying themselves either alone, with relatives, or with special friends. EXCITED BY A touchdown made by CHS.

WORKING WITH HIS computer helps Eric Perdue pass the time on weekends when he is not out with his friends.

Student Life 25 SENIOR MISI EDEN works on her homework in a place that several students find to be one of the best for concentration - the dining room table. BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS, Michelle Whited takes time to catch up on her English assignment - reading The Scar- let Letter. Hitting the Books Studying is the most funda- mental and important tool in education. Every student has at one time been called upon to study, and the students of Charleston High School were no exception. Some teachers allowed stu- dents to use class time to com- plete assignments, but most as- signed homework. Once assigned, students had varied methods of completing it. Most students opted to com- plete assignments as soon as they returned home from school. While many students found a quiet environment most conducive to learning, several students, includ- ing junior Anthony Uy, prefered listening to music while doing homework. I do my homework right after school and usually have the music turned up really loud, he said. Although most students did complete their homework at home, some became familiar with the term uprocrastination and Student Life 26 left their studies to be completed in the morning before homeroom. These students could be found in the cafeteria, in the library, or sitting in the hallways near their lockers frantically scribbling down last minute notes or cram- ming for tests. Students enrolled in the college classes, which were added to the CH8 curriculum in 1985, found themselves with two free periods each week on the days when their class did not meet. Many took advantage of the extra time to socialize, read a book, or complete assignments due for their next class. All admitted that having the extra time was beneficial. Whether in the school library with complete silence or in a bedroom with the rock-and-roll blaring, CHS studentsi unique and varied study habits were ultimately aimed toward the same goal - completing assign- ments in the quest for excellent grades. FINALLY FINDING A moment alone, Monica Bromiield concentrates on com- pleting an extremely tough homework assignment.

Lion T0 the roar of cheering stu- dents, Jeff Fruit was crowned Charleston High Schoolis Mr. Mountain Lion for the 1985-86 school year. During halftime cere- monies at the CHS - Stonewall Jackson basketball game on Janu- ary 24, 1986, Jeff was presented the title by Student Body Presi- dent An toinette Coleman. Seniors J.B. Mayhew and David Acord placed second and third. An annual tradition at CHS, the crowning of Mr. Mountain Lion was carried out again this year. To gain the title, students in each of the senior homerooms selected one boy to be placed on the ballots. Then during the week prior to the game, students were given ballots and asked to vote for the student which they felt most personified the spirit of CHS. Although Jeff Fruit was crowned the official Mr. Moun- tain Lion, there were several other eligible nominees. Seniors on the ballots included Tony Gray, Sam Carpenter, GarieI Randolph, Brad Kelly, Rico Bradley, and David Pharr. This year cash prizes were provided by the Stu- dent Council, and awards of $5 went to Dave Acord, $10 to J.B. Mayhew, and $15 to Jeff Fruit. The first confrontation against Stonewall of the basketball sea- son proved to be an unhappy occasion for CHS basketball fans. Although the team made Hercu- lean efforts to try and save the game, CHS was defeated 52 to 70. But even with the defeat the night was a roaring one for Jeff Fruit, the 1985-86 Mr. Mountain Lion. IN THE TUG-O-WAR contest during the annual Spirit Week, Mr. Mt. Lionts first runner-up, J.B. Mayhew, shows his CHS spirit.

Stu- dents at Charleston High School used these means of information, as well as newspapers, magazines, and guest speakers. Mrs. Jo Blackwood force this, reading quiz- zes and written reports were often assigned. Reports were then en- tered in the Most Im- portant News Contest per; whether they do or not is up to them. Teachers Lowell Harris and Carol Rich- ardson often required oral reports from stu- dents about current happenings. In the for- eign language depart- ment, Wanda Caruth and Diane Fleek en- couraged students to keep aware of their respective country's affairs. Students did not have to turn on the T.V. or radio to be educat- ed in world events. CHS teachers and students alike have proven that there are other ways to learn about daily oc- currences.

I INTERESTED IN HER scores, Kathy ' Kutil listens while Mrs. Marianne Rastle explains the procedure for determining grades in advertising class. CHRISTIAN PFLUG, A student from Germany, talks with Mr. Lowell Harris about the rules on American football and its comparisons with soccer. More than a teacher Most teacher-student relation- ships were the typical classroom type. However, a few went be- yond this to include outside-the- classroom activities. For example during the 1985-86 school year several teachers accompanied groups of students on trips. Other teachers guided their students not only in sports but also in academic areas. A few instructors were special simply because of their caring attitudes. Kathy KutiI said, Teachers are here for us, we are not here for them. Many teachers were particular- ly outstanding because they treated their students special. One way teachers did this was by taking their students on trips. Spanish teacher, Wanda Caruth invited all students at Charleston High to accompany her club on a skiing trip to Winterplace. She also took several members of her classes to Spain during spring break. Another teacher who trav- eled with students was Mrs. Marianne RastIe who took the DECA class to New York. The Honors English classes had the advantage of going to Washing- ton, DC. The teachers that went on this trip were Mrs. Billie McNabb, Mrs. Jo Blackwood, and Mrs. Bonnie Maddox. All of these teachers gave of their time to help students gain the unique benefits travel offered. DURING ZOOLOGY CLASS. Mrs. Betty Bailes helps David Acord with his class assignment while Ricky Gomez looks over his completed work. Other teachers who had a major effect on students were the coaches. N ot only did they play a major role in sports but also in personal and academic activities. Coach Lowell Harris, for example, made his students feel special because he cared. He listened to them if they had a problem that they needed help with. Many students felt Coach Harris was one of their favorites, not only as a coach or a teacher but as a caring friend. Becky Osborn com- mented on Mr. Harris, I think he is a real good teacher because students learn from him and he is close with his students. In addition some teachers unique personalities made them outstanding. Mrs. Betty Bailes was a very good example because she made her students feel wel- come in her classroom. She let her students talk to her about any- thing they needed to discuss. Also, her classroom was open during lunch for students to gather, eat, and watch television. Looking back, it was obvious that CHS benefitted by having not only these, but also a full staff of special teachers who gave their students many extra hours of effort and care. NEWSPAPER STAFF MEMBER Sara Creasy, watches Mrs. Wanda Caruth as she advises her on the preparation for newspaper paste-up. 39 THE MAGAZINE SECTION at Rite-Aid is usually crowded at lunch time as CHS soap viewers look through their favorite soap magazines.

SOAPS Clean Up! llI just canlt believe all of the trouble that Kevin and Frannie are having again? Oh, I know. Shels not sure of whether he really loves her or not. While listening to conversa- tions like these in the halls of CHS, one might have felt sorry for these two lovelorn students. But delve further into the conversa- tion and one would soon discover that the people being discussed were not CHS students at all, but in fact characters on soap operas like the ones viewed by over one- half of the student body at Charleston High School. Several students watched the soaps each and every day. Some chose to watch the romance of afternoon soaps, while others opted for the glamour of night- time drama. Among those shows viewed during the day, General Hospital, llGuiding Lightil and Santa Barbara, seemed to be the favorites. Perhaps this was be- cause all of these programs aired from three to four p.m., thus making it possible for the stu- dents to turn them on after returning home from school. How- ever, with the ever growing num- ber of video cassette recorders, many students were able to watch programs that aired while they were in school. When Ilm in speech class sixth period itls nice to know that my trusty VCR is there at home taping every min- ute of ltAs The World Turns for me, said junior Michele Lins- beck. Students were not the only people at CHS who were hooked on the soaps. English teacher Mrs. Billie McNabb said she occasionally caught an epi- sode of uGuiding Light after school. Other teachers and staff members, although not as quick to admit it, had an eye for the soaps as well. Although most of the soap opera viewers were female, guys watched the soaps as well, and for a variety of reasons. Most just enjoyed viewing soaps for enter- tainment, but the males of CHS generally watched the evening 5 shows rather than the daytime ones. J unior Rickie Gomez said, I enjoy watching shows like llDynastyt, and The Colbys because they give you a break from the regular routine of home- work. And I also love to watch Krystle! On the other hand, Robbie Gomez said he enjoyed watching ltDynasty for the venomous Alexis -she's beauti- fulV Local businesses profited from students who were regular soap viewers. Often students could be found crowded around the maga- zine section at Rite Aid leafing through the newest issue of Soap Opera Digest. For whatever the reason, soap operas played an important role in the lives of CHS students during the 1985-86 school year. Student Life 41 At homen the Charleston High student preferred their bedroom over any other room in the house because it was a part of them and no one else. They made their room into their own little place by having in it the things they liked. The CHS students felt they would not be able to get away from reality without these items. A bedroom was considered a place to relax, think, study, entertain, and be with friends. Upon entering a friends bed- room, it was obvious what that person liked because personalities shined through. Many CHS stu- dents had posters of cars, favorite musical performers, or actors and actresses, while others liked to cut pictures out of magazines and post on their walls. When the CHS students could not be with friends, the next best place turned to was their bedroom where they enjoyed listening to music, talking;T on the phone, or doing homework. Jon DeBerry stated, nWhen I donit have much to do on weekends, I watch television or do homework? A typical room of some CHS students was the one with dirty clothes, plates, cups, and soft drink cans lying around. Books were usually scattered and the bed was rarely made. Since this was the case, many mothers felt that they needed to clean their Our own Little corner Of the world son or daughterls room. Eric Perdue stated, ltItls a real plea- sure to have my mom clean my room sometimes because I don,t always get to it. Other students were offended if anyone uninvited barged into their bedroom for any reason. JuIie Raines said, I get really embarrassed when a friend of mine comes over to my house and sees that my room is a total mess. However, not all students allowed their bedrooms to become so messy; many prefered to keep their rooms in an orderly fashion. Also, the bedroom was a place to store personal belongings, but the students often found it hard to hide their valuables because of a nosy brother or sister. Christy Zeitz found this to be true. She commented, My little brother comes into my room while Ilm not there and gets into everything; he really gets me frustrated. All in all, students of The High found their bedrooms a place of happiness. They might have en- tered the room angry, sad, or depressed, but their bedroom had a special magic that made them feel secure again. The bedroom may have taken a lot of abuse, but it was special to the CHS student because it was their own little corner of the world.

M 43 BEGINNING WORK ON a story, Char- lestonian clubs sections editor Jennifer Emswiler decides on an introductory sentence for her copy. HERB picks a winner! An annual tradition at Charles- ton High School, the title of Miss Charlestonian, was given each year to the senior girl on the yearbook staff selected as most beautiful by a celebrity judge. This year the nominees were Amy Bowe, Vanessa Conner, Jennifer EmswiIer, Sherry Higginbothan, and Kathy KutiI. Herb , of Burger King fame, was contacted by Anthony Vickers and gracious- ly agreed to be this year's celebri- ty judge. Through the wonders of modern mail travel, in a matter of hours the anonymous photos of the nominees were in the hands of Herb at the Burger King head- quarters in Miami, Florida. Herb's choice for Miss Charlesto- nian in the 1985-86 school year was Vanessa Conner. However, even though Miss Chatlestonian Student Life 44 was an annual tradition, it was based upon beauty only, and was no reflection of the vast amount of work put in by each of the senior girls on staff. Sherry Higginbotham was co-editor of the entire Charlestonian, along with Jeff Skiles. As Head-Photog- rapher for the yearbook, Kathy KutiI had major responsibilities to attend to. As a photographer for one semester, Amy Bowe contributed her talents and v01- unteered her help second semes- ter.

The event was the 6th Annual Prom Fashion Show, and was directed by biology teacher Betty j. Bailes. This was the most beautiful show weive ever given, and the most successful. The talent here at CHS is just wonder- fulfl she said. Many students displayed their talents by singing, playing musi- cal instruments, and modeling. The vocalists performed several romantic selections to add to the atmosphere of the show. Songs included Endless Lovefi sung by Gregg Smith and Kelly Kreps, and Safe? sung by Brian Coston and Maritza Davis.

They were displayed according to style, with romantic, modern, and all out wildil featured at differ- ent intervals during the show. Models were selected from applications turned in to Mrs. Bailes weeks before the show. Rehersals started immediately after the selections were made. This yearls senior models were: Amy Bowe, JiII Burford, Antoin- ette Coleman, Becky Coleman, Stacey Griffith, KeIIy Larrabee, Cindy Reinacher, and MicheIIe $1111. The Master of Ceremonies for the show was CHS teacher Jack Woonine, handsomely out- fitted in a black tux with a red cummerbund and tie from Mas- ters Tuxedo. Masters provided all of the tuxes for the show and Stone and Thomas provided all of the gowns. Closing the show with a top notch performance was a local rock band known as Hidden Secrets featuring CHS juniors Mark Sydenstricker on lead vo- cals, Chuck Divita on guitar, and Bryan Estep on percussion. The band was granted the honor of revealing this yearls prom theme, A Night In Heaven performing the popular song Heaven by Bryan Adams. Directly after the show, a reception was held in the library honoring all of the people who helped put the show together, including the stage crew, artists, commentators, dressing room helpers, musicians, ushers, and anyone who helped make the prodution a success.

Are YOU Busy Are you busy Friday night? This was the question many Charleston High students found themselves asking someone whom they admired. Students found it difficult to ask for a date at first because they feared rejection. Yet once the date was arranged, then the rest was smooth sailing a sometimes. A first date usually determined whether the dates would continue. Sometimes the first date with that particularly special person would turn out to be the start of a lasting commit- ment. Then again, that first date may have been a disaster and the relationship might never have continued. If this was the case, the students tried to get over it and hoped for better luck the next weekend with someone else. Many students of CHS felt that dating just one person was hard for them because they did not want to be tied down. There- fore, many students played the field and avoided serious ties. Tammy Gaefke said, ftI enjoy dating several guys at a time Student Life 48 I Tonight? instead of being tied to just one. Whether involved in casual or steady relationships, dating ob- viously played an important role in student activities. Weekends were the most popu- lar days of the week to go out on a date. Going to movies, eating dinner out, shopping, going to a party given by a classmate, or just cruisini around Kanawaha City were some of the most popular things to do on a date. Other common dating activities included attending rock concerts, or perhaps going over to each others homes to study or watch a movie on a VCR. No matterhow uneventful Charleston may have seemed to some people, couples usually found something to do on a date. ' The high school years could be remembered as the years of dat- ing and having fun by the Charleston High School students. To many of them, going on a date was a very important part of their lives because it made them feel mature and independent.

This proved to be special because many students felt they needed a close friend with whom they could talk and have fun. Without that special friendship many felt they were very alone and isolated from society. JuIie Raines said, HEveryone needs a best friend because everyone needs someone to talk to? A part of a friendship many students felt was important was trust. Without trust there would be no friendship, because the feeling of mutual security would not be present. Besides trust there was honesty, love, and of course, problem sharing. Stu- dents of CHS always wanted their best friend to be there when they needed them. Cyn thia M uck said, llI think honesty is very important in a friendship because BETWEEN THIRD AN D fourth periods Sue Keyser gives David Acord a note as she passes him in the second floor hall. Student Life 50 without it there is no relationship between the friends? Friends may come and go, but the ones who stuck by each other through good and bad, tried to stay together for a long time. Many friendships lasted from the time they began school even after the end of their high school days. Some friendships, however, had to break up physically when they left for college and went their separate ways. When that hap- pened, it became a very sad time for those people, because a true friendship was hard to break up. All in all, the CHS student body agreed that having friends was a very important factor dur- ing the high school years. Many felt without true friends they would not have enjoyed their days at tlThe High as much. h m GOOD FRIENDS COURTNEY Hall and Rhonda Barker share a joke and laugh while sitting in the DECA.

Taking charge Raising the enthusiasm throughout the school was just one of the many tasks the Student Council at Charleston High School took upon themselves for the 1985-86 school year. The Student Council was also respon- sible for many other school pro- jects. Starting at the first of the school year, their slogan HC.H.S.- Y.E.S. tCharleston High School - Youire Extra SpeciaD gained much attention. Students could be seen wearing badges with the logo printed on them. Not know- ing the secret behind it all, the student body quickly became eager to be a part of it. Homecoming was another major event the Student Council had to plan. Each day was a special day. Whether it was HBeach Dayh or Blue and Gold Day , many people participated. On Friday night the football team won their game against Beckley. The following night a dance was held at the Charleston Civic Center. It was evident that Home- coming week was a success. President of the Student Council, Antoinette Coleman, said, tiThe purpose of the Student Council is to act as a liaison between the faculty and the student body and to provide students with information on upcoming events. Without the student council, activities such as these would not have been as successful as they were.

Clubs 55 Lending a hand Helping people inside and outside the school was the pur- pose of many clubs at Charleston High School. Volunteer work was required of members to keep the club active. Among these service clubs was the Key Club. Acting as sponsors, Shirley McKown and Betty Riley organized their pro- jects. One of their first activities was working at the Covenant House and another was selling popsicles to raise money for vari- ous projects. Much time was given to get those projects com- pleted.

When the day for deadlines came around, the Charleston High School yearbook staff worked long hours to get this years book completed. Being on the yearbook staff meant sacrificing a lot of free time. Many Saturday afternoons were spent at school working to meet their deadlines. After school hours were used along with Sun- days in desperate situations.

Students joined the staff for many different reasons. Business manager John Street said, ttI was interested in it and I liked having the job of business manager. Junior PauI Hunter said, I joined the staff to gain experience in the field of journalism. After the book was finished, the staff anxiously awaited to see it in print.

Clubs 59 Hot off the press The High Times, Charleston High,s school newspaper, was published monthly throughout the school year. Not only did it include the school news, but it also presented current events and social happenings. Under the direction of Mrs. Wanda Caruth, the newspaper was in its second year of renewed publication. In earlier years the school paper had been called The Book Strap, but the 1984-85 staff polled the student body and decided to change the paperhs name. Newspaper staff members put many hours of hard work into the paper. Not only was every stu- dent required to write articles for the upcoming issue, but they learned to set type and to take pictures. The staff of the Ad Bulletin provided valuable train- ing to members of The High Times, as they glided them in laying out the paper. The editor Heather Harper considered The High Times a good experience because she plans to pursue a course in journalism. .

A foreign affair Learning a foreign language can be challenging as well as rewarding. Whether it was French, Latin, or Spanish, numer- ous students at Charleston High School took advantage of the foreign language curriculum. To aid in the understanding of the various cultures, many stu- dents joined the club respective to the language taken. The Latin Club seemed to be the largest of the language clubs. The Latin Club was popular due to the fact that we have a picnic, dinners, and many other activities that enliven the Roman Culture, and also there was a possibility of a foreign trip being taken, advisor Nancy Humphreys said. Students with two or more years of F rench had the chance to participate in the student ex- change. Two students who took advantage of this opportunity were Becky Crabtree and Chris ty Zeitz. During the three weeks JUNIOR DOROTHY BOLDING begins to work patiently on her Spanish assign- ment that deals with the different life- styles of Spain, there, they toured many famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Mont-Saint-Michel. They also experienced going to a French high school. In the spring, French students came here to gain the same understanding of American life. With a trip to Mexico planned, the Spanish Club had to alter their plans suddenly because of the devastating earthquake that killed thousands in that country. Instead, they left at the end of March for a tour of Spain. For students who could not go on that trip, a day of skiing at Winter- place was arranged by Mrs. Wanda Caruth. Regardless of the club a stu- dent chose to join, one was faced with opportunities to participate in many activities. Whether it was just a dinner or a trip to another country, the foreign language clubs kept ac- tive. 4 WITH THE HELP of a dictionary. sophomore John Rogers works diligently to finish his French assignment before the end of class. Clubs 63 Help wanted Being an assistant at Charleston High School was not necessarily the easiest job. The many different types of assistants included guidance office, gym, main office, and library assistants. Responsibil- ity was the top priority of being a good assistant. In the guidance office the assistants helped Mrs. McKown, Mrs. Riley, or Mr. White. Their tasks included running errands, helping new students, and sometimes tutor- ing students who had requested help. Being a gym assistant differed somewhat from previ- ous years. It still involved helping others perfect their physical abilities, but this year all physical education classes were co-educational. Senior Sharon Hardman, gym assis- tant for the past two years, commented, ltI like having a male instructor and I also like helping boys and girls alike; it is a lot of fun. Continuously busy were the assistants in the main office. A new phone system was installed in early October which required the assistants to become familiar with this new, modern equipment. They also sorted mail, delivered messages, and made transcripts. Library assistants had the job of keeping the library in order. They checked books in and out and helped students find books they were looking for. In addition, they handled the deliveries of audio-visual equipment. Although the assistants re- ceived no credit toward gradua- tion, they were rewarded with grades, as well as the appreciation of both faculty and students.

Proving to be most popular, though, was the business field. At Charleston High School there have been three organiza- tions to help with career choices, Distributive Education Clubs of America tDECAL Future Busi- ness Leaders of America tFBLAT , and Cooperative Education tCO- 0m . Leading the business organiza- tions was the DECA Club. The purpose of DECA was to teach the skills of sales, management, and production. Marianne RastIe was the clubts adviser for the 1985-86 year. A small store oper- ated by DECA permitted stu- dents to buy snacks without leaving the building. The DECA. store and class helped to teach' many of the students the skills of operating a business. Highlight- ing the year was a trip to New York, which was taken by Mrs. RastIe, Julie Tessiatore, Lisa jarreII, Regina VeItn', Sandi Co- naway, David Pharr, Sam Car- penter, Jo Angle, Jon Landis, and Ray White. The FBLA was another club designed to aid students with their career choices. The club was open to any student enrolled in a business class and was sponsored by Mrs. Sallie Helton. The main purpose of the CO-OP program was to give experience for future occupations through part-time jobs. Many students had the chance to apply their learned business skills while on the job. Filing, typing, and an- swering the phone were some of the duties carried out by CO-OP students.

When it was announced that practices would be held after school, the number dwindled. The remaining students produced more than enough talent to put on a splendid theatrical show. The first selec- tion for the club was Cheaper By The Dozen. The drama club was headed by the art teacher, Mrs. CIaudia Riffe. She selected, directed, and produced all of the productions. Practices were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school in the auditorium.

Along with directing the drama club, Mrs. Riffe headed the CH8 Art Club. The club, which consist- ed of about twenty members did various activities throughout the year. They designed and made all of the artwork for the Spring Fashion Show. They were also, responsible for painting artwork in the student lounge, the Lions Den.

However, for the Charleston High School Band it meant the start of a month of long, hot practices. Hard work and determination were the keys to beat the ninety degree August heat they encountered at Laidley Field. Many things changed for the CH8 band this year. Besides a switch from culottes to pants for girls, there was a change in style. Making a transition from tradi- tional to corps style marching, many found this change difficult. To help make the conversion easier, each member was request- ed to pay a fee of $30.00 to be taught by an instructor on the basics of corps style marching and commands. Everyone thought the change was for the better, for the band captured a second place trophy at competition and re- ceived standing ovations at every football game. DISCUSSING THE OUTCOME of the Majorette Festival, field commander Van- essa Conner and band member Beth Powelson wonder how the band will present themselves. Clubs 70 One other difference the band experienced was the addition of the Silk Corps. Headed by Tam- my Gaefke, the Silk Corps added more color and life to the band and its performances. At the Sternwheel Regatta parade, the Silks won third place in the auxiliary category along With the majorettes and field commanders. Many times during the fourth quarter of home games a few band members, consisting mostly of seniors, marched over to entertain and enliven the crowd. Known as The High Stepperst or just the ttFourth Quarter Band the group proved to be a crowd pleaser. Mr. Robert A. Leurant, Direc- tor of the CH5 band, said, This is the best band I have had since 1979. Band members seemed to care more about their appearance and were more responsible for their practices and performances. This year the CH8 band with its new attitude took a step in the right direction.

Headed by Kelly Larrabee, they put in long hours to make them- selves one of the best corps in the county. Although the majorettes al- ways seemed to be smiling, be- hind those smiles were weeks of long practices. During the sum- mer they went to camp at West Virginia Wesleyan College. There they learned routines and how to make up new ones. While they were there, the corps was awarded Best Majorette Corps out of forty other groups. Additional help was provided for the majorettes by instructor Terry Hamilton. He helped prepare routines for the Majorette Festival and halftime Out in Front performances. Besides doing halftime shows with the band, the majorettes placed in three competitions. At the Stemwheel Regatta Parade, they ranked third in the auxiliary category, along with the field commanders and the silk corps. Their show at the Majorette Festival earned them a third place trophy. In addition to the two previous awards, the major- ettes placed second at a festival sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Through cooperation, dedica- tion, and a lot of hard work, I think this is the best majorette corps in yearsf stated Kelly. It was apparent that the hard work had paid off in the 1985-86 school year. CH8 in SOng - In the second year of her teaching career, Mrs. Tammy Kelly, the chorus teacher was off to a promising start. The previous year she had been an English teacher as well, but decided to give up those classes in order to focus her energies on the chorus. Mrs. Kelly said, Although the chorus was so small, this year they made the most of what they had and did a good job. To be accepted into the chorus, one had to sing a solo for Mrs. Kelly, unless they were in the chorus the year before. The pur- pose of this audition was so that she- could judge her prospective memberis talent. Chorus member Gregg Smith stated, This year so far has shown me that Mrs. Kelly has greatly improved as a director after dropping her English clas- ses. Pm so excited about this year; itts an important one for the choir, as well as for Mrs. Kelly. Highlights of the year included the Swing Sing, the Can Can Assembly, and the Spring Con- cert. Mrs. Kelly prepared the choir for the Swing Sing with the help of Mrs. Trish White. The Show not only tested singing abilities, but dancing as well. The dedication of the choir members was evident when one noticed that the choir was by far the smallest in the county. A spectator commented that they had a large sound for their size. During the second semester Mrs. Kelly left due to her preg- nancy and was replaced by Mr. Michael Bowers. Mr. Bowers was a student teacher for the band and for the chorus before graduat- ing and taking the position as director of the choir. Because he worked hard, he and the students were able to learn from each other. AT A REHEARSAL, choir members listen closely as Mrs. Kelly gives them instructions. i KELLIE SMITH SIGNS to the hearing- impaired students so they may enjoy the choiris performance. WITH MRS.

N e'hihg up in 8 TA GES The success of the assemblies held during the 1985-1986 school year could be largely attributed to the stage crew. Many things were organized and executed by the stage crew, such as putting to- gether backdrops onto lift bars, operating the different forms of lighting and cleaning up both before and after assemblies. One highlight of the year was the purchase of new audio equip- ment. The former antiquated system which produced weak and distorted sound was replaced by a powerful and clear, hi-fidelity system. Mark Sydenstricker was the main operator of the system and its first tryout was during the yearbook assembly. The true test of stage crewis abilities came during the 1986 Charleston High Fashion Show. A new stage had to be set beyond the original stage, light fixtures had to be repaired and props had to be placed in correct positions. Clubs 76 Lighting before and during the show was a constant duty to the crew. The band that played at the show was aided in setting up their equipment by the stage crew. After the show, the stage crew cleaned up and congratulations were conveyed between the mem- bers for a job well done. Another stage group was the stage band. Practices were held during fourth period in the band room where the stage band pre- pared songs for an upcoming gig.n Unfortunately, the Charleston High School stage band did not get to prove their talents many times. One perform- ance was held during the year- book sales assembly. The type of music played by the stage band ran from big band to new jazz and was often harder to play than what was played by an average band.

One of their original songs was hForever in My Dreams, written by Chuck Divita. uI think that if we work on our own music, we can go far, depending on how much we want it? stated Mark Syden- stricken The band members felt that if they could remain good friends, they would be on their way.

Juniors 99 +An Did you ever think about how American culture differs from that of other countries? Christian Pflug, a foreign exchange student from West Germany, brought a bit of European culture to Charleston High School. At first, the adjustment from German life to an American life- style was difficult for Christian, but due to the curiosity and friendliness of the students, he soon overcame the problem. He found it particularly hard to build up a social life - he claimed to be shy. Christian wanted to say uThank You to all of the stu- dents who helped make his stay in America easier, and he hoped they would never forget him. After he was to return to Germany, Christian planned to graduate from his German High Exchange Of C ulture School, then hopefully return to the United States for college to major in Economics and Political Science. One of Christiants favor- ite pastimes was the Charleston High School ballgames tthey didntt have those in Germanyt . One major disappoint- ment was the lack of motivation here at Charleston High School. About his year at Charleston High School, Christian said, I think it is a big and beautiful school, and I am glad that I got to go here.

Ms. Richardson attended Mar- shall University where she first became interested in speech and drama. As a freshman, she was required to take a speech class. This class intrigued her so much that in her sophomore year, she changed her major to incorporate her interests. wwI wish that I would have gotten started in theatre earlier, Ms. Richardson stated.

Teacher For a Day What are we doing in B-Woodis class? Nothing-we have a sub? iiGreat - I could use a day of rest. That was what many students said when they discovered that their regular teachers were not going to be teaching that day. Yet for substitutes, it was hardly a iday of rest.' Coping with any- where from 20-30 teenagers rebel- ling against teacher's orders each class period, was enough to bring even the strongest of substitutes to their knees. Somehow, though, they managed. There were, however, some students who offered their assis- tance which was helpful in getting the substitutes through their day. Students frequently aided the replacement teachers by acquain- ting them with class procedures. TAKING A BREAK, Mrs. Frances Aide poses for a picture.

The faculty is nice, the kids are friendly and I like the building. Some substitutes said that even though many of the classes misbehaved and were disrespect- ful, that elite group of students who helped made the day worth- while. Said Mr. Kevin Miller, I like CHS because it is like coming home for me since I graduated here. CHS is my favorite place to teach? Substituting could not be that bad, could it?

Academics 1 20 Super Tea ch ers Since the beginning of time one of the most important assets of society, the ability to educate, has lain in the hands of its teachers. Through their many years of constant dedication and persever- ance, the students of society have gained the knowledge needed to make the world a better place. There have been many teachers in our countryts history. Some of the better of these instructors were those who taught at Charleston High School. At CHS there was a very diversified student body. To sat- isfy the needs of the students there had to be a broad array of teachers. Each teacherts personal- ity and style differed from person to person. The one common factor COMPANIONSHIP IS SHARED by Mrs. Betty Bailes and Mrs. Diane Fleek as they converse about the days events and have lunch in the English office.

When asked, ttHow do you feel about the role teachers play in our society? Nicky Miller stated, uYou can say the role teachers play is very important. They teach the children who are going to be the future leaders of this country. They help us understand what is expected of us in our later years upon reaching adulthood. Sometimes teachers are put down; I think they should be regarded highly? When Mr. Terry Ferrell was asked, What is most reward- ing about being a teacherEW he stated, Seeing a student smile.

In Chemistry, there was not much written homework, but the reading made up for this. Despite that, it was said Chemistry was a class to look forward to. The objectives in Psychology were to study behavior and under- stand the reasons for it.

A DRAMATIC PRESENTATION by a team of fellow students holds the atten- tion of Terri Fisher. Academics 124 A new direction was taken during the past two years in the study of an old subject. Honors English was given a new format, Humanities, a three year course which focused on the develop- ment of man. Through the unified forces of both Charleston High and Stonewall Jackson High En- glish departments, a prized program was created. The Hu- manities project was successful, it received honorable recognition from the National Council for Teachers of English. Charleston High Schoolis Honors English department was selected as a center of excellence. Each year of the program fo- cused on a specific time period. Mrs. Billie Jean McNabb, sopho- more honors teacher, started the students at the creation of man. Through the use of mythology and the Bible they gained a better understanding of the different creation theories. The first year ended with the study of the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the new year Mrs. Jo Blackwood, junior honors teacher, was waiting to continue with the students on their voyage. Mrs. Blackwood had one of the most interesting 111a ODERN e NGLISH areas, the Renaissance. Michael- angelo, Machiavelli, and Shake- speare were among the vast list of fascinating people studied during that time. The Renaissance was a hard age to leave behind, but a new one had to be explored. Mrs. Bonnie Maddox, senior honors teacher, finished the long journey with a trip from the Romantic Age to the present. The three year journey was long and hard yet probably one of the most fascinating ever taken. Jason Reeves stated, I was hesi- tant to take the class at first because of the rumors of it being so hard. Now I feel rewarded because it has challenged me to reach my greatest potential. Because of the Humanities pro- gram, the students gained a broadened understanding of manis thoughts, philosophies, and principals. MRS. BONNIE MADDOX uses many literary sources to prepare a challenging lesson plan for her senior Honors English class. TRYING TO KEEP with the rest of their class, Amy Neenan and Tracy Hughart work briskly to keep on top of their notes. Academics l 2 5 A Gift F or Learning What if one had an IQ. of a hundred and ninety two? If so, he should have belonged to the gifted class. That figure was an exagger- ation compared to the average person, though there were stu- dents in the Gifted Program whose I.Q.,s were fairly high. Actually a score of one hundred twenty was considered to be above average. Mrs. Jan Barth, the Gifted Program instructor, led the stu- dents into a variety of new direc- tions. She maintained an enthusi- astic attitude which was neces- sary to challenge the students to fulfill their greatest potentials. Mrs. Barth, stated, I loved working with the students, not only the gifted ones, but with the entire student body.

Academics 1 28 aim? $eiezmee a In 1985-86 the science depart- ment at Charleston High School underwent many changes. Mrs. B. j. BaiIes, a biology teacher, moved to a bigger room with a laboratory and Mrs. CIaudia K01 joined the CH8 faculty as a biology and physiology teacher. To her new room, Mrs. Bailes added a saltwater aquarium and various animals. It took three weeks to set up the aquarium and to get compatible fish, and even though the students were in charge of all the animals, to most it was not a chore. It was not a surprising sight to see students holding the animals while work- ing or listening to a lecture. Many students were also found at the aquarium watching the fish, be- cause they said it was very relaxing. Since materials were hard to ON THEIR LUNCH break. Mrs. K01 and Mrs. Bailes discuss what they have planned for their biology classes during the spring semester. come by this past year, Mrs. Bailes visited other schools to search for equipment that was forgotten or slightly damaged. From this search she obtained a grow table, for starting plants, and a display case needing a measurable amount of repairs. With the help of Mr. Daugherty and his students, the case was fixed and set up in the hallway by December. After finding these items, Mrs. Bailes also found a skeleton for her room, but it was dismantled in a box. When assem- bled, the skeleton was hooked to a homemade stand and placed in her room. Other science classes were physics, chemistry, and physiolo- gy. Physics, Which was taught by Mr. Ingram, is the study of properties, changes, and interac- tion of matter and energy, while WHILE OBSERVING THE saltwater aquarium, Stacy Griffith points out an interesting fish to Cheryl Keyser and Anthony Uy. chemistry, taught by Mr. Craig, is the study of matter and energy and how they interact. As Mr. Craig described, Chemistry is a gas - and solids and liquids - what they do, how they behave and how they chemically react with each other. Although the science classes were sometimes difficult and hard to understand, they were always enjoyable and interesting; they were classes to be remembered. 115:3 THE ANTICS OF the mice in the biology lab are fascinating to Donald Pauley as he enjoys watching them play in their isolat- ed environment.

However, if you did know the answer maybe you have a head for trivia. This is what gave the members of the High Q team that extra edge over the average stu- dent. Students wanting to be on the High Q team were put through a series of tests to be considered for membership. The qualifying stu- dents were those who proved to be most knowledgeable in the game Trivial Pursuit, since this was the game which most closely resem- bled the High Q competition. Members of the team included Tracy Hughart and Anthony Vickers, second year members, Robert StigaII, Lori Gaefke, John JOHN SMILEY, LORIEN Gaefke, and Julie Marks display a positive appearance while they relax between rounds of the Quiz Bowl.

Each student who took this class benefited from its valuable skills. Many college bound students took this class to enable them to properly complete the numerous college papers. Others needed the Keyboarding class for future em- ployment and personal use. A Keyboarding 11 class was also offered to those students who wished to increase their typing skills. Although Keyboarding was the largest class in the business de- partment, computer literacy was also a popular class. Many stu- dents decided to take this class since many jobs now require those specific skills. Students were able to perform tasks on the computer that ranged from a simple pie graph to an in depth math equa- tion. Other classes that were offered in the business department were Accounting, Co-Operative Office Education and Distributive edu- cation. In addition to these clas- ses, Shorthand was also offered.

They tried out in April for the squad and later attended a national all- American cheerleading camp at Ohio State during the summer. The squad also sacrificed their summer by practicing two and a half hours each day. During the summer months the Charleston High School cheerleaders perfec- ted cheers, stunts, and routines. Competition inspired the squad as they participated in the Ravenswood Invitational and at Sports 142 a state cheerleading camp. The girls also competed with squads from schools such as Stonewall and George Washington. Despite the fact that the girls began the year without an adviser they assumed the responsibility and continued with their usual activities. The girls helped and cooperated to make this yearts squad a success. It was these girls who kept up the school spirit by cheering at pep assemblies and games and who boosted the team morale and excited the crowd. The cheerlead- ers were kept busy throughout the year supporting the many teams and the school as a whole. ANTOINETTE COLEMAN.

At Berry Hills in an earlier season tournament, CHS shot 198 to Catholicts 218 and Dunbar's 210. With seven of ten players returning next season, the experi- ence gained this year was invalu- able.

Spirit could be the word that summed up the 1985-86 football season. By mid-season, the record stood at 8-0. This spurred the team into a rowdy success over George Washington. In the next game, StonewallJackson defeated the mighty Lions and Charleston High School finished the regular season with a 9-1 record. In the first game of the season, CHS faced the Hoover Huskies. Players were evaluated in this game by Coach Roger Jefferson. A ten point lead at the end of the game contributed to a grade of B received by the team. Walter Bradley gained 101 yards in 18 carries. One great play of the game was Marty T albotis 36 yard run to Hooverfs one yard line. The next contest was against South Charleston High School. Tony Grayis passing game was quite successful, as he passed for 79 yards. Touchdown makers were Gray with a one-yarder and Mike Pugh for eight yards. After two more wins against Nitro and East Bank, the Lions met with the St. Albans Red Dragons. Gray gained 137 yards in the air, and Jeff Fruit scored the first touchdown of the second half. Coach Jefferson was sur- prised at the ease of the game. Two more wins were gained between the defeat of St, Albans and the face-off with the George Washington Patriots. This was considered by many to be the best game of the season. All members of the school carried their spirit to a new high and for good reason. INVINCIBLE! CHS scored on its first two' possessions, again in the second quarter, and three more times in the third quarter to beat GW 34- 12. The next game tested the spirit of the team and their fans. Plays did not seem to work, spirit plummeted, and the Lions 10st to their eross-town rival Stonewall Jackson by a score of 0-34. Dupont became the target of the next Lion assault. With re- newed enthusiasm, the Lions allowed only one touchdown for Dupont, while CHS scored five. In the single elimination AAA playoffs, Charleston High lost their first game to powerful North Marion and ended the season. 1985 Football Team: Row 1: Manager Jerry Shelton, Mario Brown, Rico Brad- ley, Tony Gray, J.B.

He rammed his leg through the glass of one of the stair doors at school. More than 100 stitches were used to mend his leg, and many were skeptical as to whether he would play in the 1985 season. Only through a miracle, Bradley was up and around, practicing in the August summer training sessions. The rest was explained by his 1985 season record. When asked to describe the season, Rico Bradley said, Smashing and exciting! Jeff Fruit commented, uOverall, the football team was victorious in the 1985 season?

The Lady Lions practiced up to three hours a day and six days a week in order to improve their game. They began practicing August 15 for their opening game against Du- pont on September 10. The team was victorious in this game along with games against Dunbar, Ni- tro, Herbert Hoover, Charleston Catholic, and South Charleston. Sadly, the Charleston High School team was first defeated by George Washington on Septem- ber 16. The team was also defeat- ed by Stonewall Jackson, Hun- tington, and St. Albans. Without a doubt StonewallJackson proved to be their toughest competitor. They lost to this rival by a score of thirty-five to sixty-five.

The season opened with a game against Dunbar. The Lions were victorious in this game and in the next two games against East Bank and Dupont. It was not until January third that the Lions were defeated, by Dupont. As the season progressed the- Lions defeated George Washing- . ram; ton, Herbert Hoover, Nitro, South Charleston, East Bank, and Sissonville.

In mid November and late December a young and inexperi- enced group of young men inter- ested in playing basketball set their sights on the coveted prize of a successful season. With only four players having any organized or school basket- ball playing experience under their belts, the 1985-86 season proved to be paradoxically fruit- ful and unfruitful. The season was successful, in that the young men gained the benefits that competitive basket- ball offers such as teamwork, discipline, social values, fellow- ship, and competition.

The coaches were Roger Jefferson, John Ven- ciII, Stan White, Jack Woolwine, and John Baird. These men led the team throughout the season with their fine coaching abilities. The manageris job included tak- ing care of equipment and uni- forms. The statisticianis job, how- ever, was to keep accurate records of individual and team facts. Robert StigaIl was seen at all football games keeping accurate plays out to the team on the field. records on his clipboard. In the area of basketball senior Robert StigaII also assisted with his managerial skills. The coaches for the 1985-86 season were John VenciII, Terry Ferrell, and Lowell Harris. These men dedicated their time for the betterment of the athletic department. Wrestling was a sport which drew little attention during the past year.
