According to the handbook, students feel “‘that the activities pro- gram here at Clover Hill enriches the regular classroom program.”’ Here at our school these activities cover a wide range of interests and include both the usual and the unusual. Traditional functions unique to Clover Hill include the Mock Wed- ding and the Fall and Spring Fashion Shows, all of which are per- formed in the Commons during lunch. 1984-85 however, marks the death of yet another Cavalier tradition. The last Upstairs Downstairs Faculty Softball game was played during the school day. No more can we determine if a teacher can field a ball as well as he she fields questions in class or hit a ball with as much impact as they have on our lives. Class trips are a highlight for many and may take you anywhere from a canoe trip on the James to a visit to the state prison. Visits from experts and amateur enthusiasts in many fields and local and state politicians enhance the everyday pattern of classroom learning. The Prom requires years of hard work and enthusiasm, while class projects may involve only a few hours of time. Whatever your level of interests and enthusiasm may be, there is something for everyone here on the Hill.

The Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes par- ticipated in many of Clover Hill High School's activities Each group had something special that could be shared with their class The Juniors spent the majority of the year wishing they were Seniors, but there was a bright spot. The Seniors gave the Juniors a ring ceremony emphasizing the traditions of our school ring. As upperclassmen, they could now par- ticipate in such events as the Powder Puff Game and the Prom. The responsibility of the Juniors was to prepare the Prom. The Prom was paid for with money raised from Junior class dues and the sale of magazines and was a great suc- cess. Good Luck to the class of 1986 as they rise to their senior year! The biggest event in the Sophomore year was the privilege to get their driver's license. The Sophomores could also breathe a sigh of relief, because they were no longer Freshmen. Throughout the year the class enjoyed such events as Homecoming Week and pep rallies. During the year, they also ordered class rings, in anticipation of becoming upperclassmen There was a huge change in store for the class of 1988. When they first walked into Clover Hill High School, they ex- perienced a mixture of feelings. They were excited over be- ing in high school, and they were afraid of what the year held in store for them. Many would be taking exams for the first time, and some were taking harder classes. With the difficult times of high school came the good times, too. For the first time they were able to participate in Homecoming Week, the dance, Clover Hill pep rallies, and many clubs and sports. By the end of the year, they were ready to be Sophomores and ready to lose the name ‘‘ankle-biters. ’
