bd i we EA Ps e a 4 Clover Hill High School, a member of the Virginia High School league, has exper- ienced both the ‘‘thrill of vic- tory and the agony of defeat’’ through our athletics. In the school year of 1984-85, spec- tators felt both enjoyment and pain. During the year students, parents, and faculty members celebrated with the victories of the powerful and successful teams and felt for those that were persistent but unlucky. Clover Hill High School of- fers a varied athletics program to suit everyone’s needs. There are both junior varsity and varsity teams for both boys and girls. To the most outstanding athletes a letter is given to recognize their ability and hard work. Above all spectators and players alike need to remember that the purpose of athletic teams is to promote physical, mental, moral, social and emotional well-being for the players through competition. It is also to be noted, that success or defeat is in itself of little importance.

The Senior Class of 1985 will remember many things from this, their final year at Clover Hill High School. The beginning of the year was full of many changes and events such as Homecoming and the Powder Puff Game. In October, seniors had the responsibility of giving the Junior class a ring ceremony. Through the year seniors ordered por- traits, invitations, caps, gowns, and various other senior needs. The seniors also had fun with the prom, Senior Takeover Day, and Senior Skip Day. As graduation came closer, everyone felt both relief and fear about leaving high school. To make their lives more interesting, both May and June were busy months. There were last minute invitations to be sent to friends and relatives along with all those special events related to the end of school. First, there was the Senior Awards Assembly, where many received honors. Next, there was the Senior banquet where they took time to enjoy being seniors and remember the good times, as they listened to the Class History and the Prophecy. The Senior Superlatives and the winners of the Cutest Baby contests were announced. On the Sunday before graduation came the Baccalaureate, and then finally came the day that all students wait for, graduation. As the students left on June 12, 1985 to pursue their own lives, everyone thought back to their time at Clover Hill High School and knew they would never forget all the times they had shared.
