E. BRUGKE LEE JUNIGR HIGH SCI-1ooL Silver Spring, Maryland 1976- 1977 I 2 I I I I I v I I DEDICATIO I The 1977 Cougar Yearbook is dedicated to Mrs. Judy Toxie. I I A teacher at Lee Junior High School for the past seven years, Mrs. Toxie has shown devotion to our students in many ways that transcend her profession as a teacher of English. In addition to her splendid work in that area, she has alwaysbeen exceptionally active as a club sponsor, giving much of her own time after hours to these activities. She has served on the executive board of the PTA and her overall contributions to our I continuing success in the school community makes her a most deserving candid te fo r this small token of our esteem. 4 I I XXXXXSXXXXXXXXXXX I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Dr. Larson PRINCIPAL Guidance Counselors A Mr. Groninger 9th Grade Counselor Mr. Gillespie 7th Grade Counselor Mrs. Sagneri 8th Grade Counselor I l 1 ,,,,,, Secretaries Health Room Library Staff l Mrs. Calhoun and Aide .

Wx ,W g , WW g On Friendship and Love by Stephanie Kirkby lj The joy of our friendship will bring us together, with warm loving hands, and sweet red rose petals. 21 And when we shall meet our minds they do keep, We'll remember the showers, That brought us the flowers, Of love and sweet flowers. 35 The flowers will bloom, And flow out our love, And bring us a melody of sweet bells of love, Of love and sweet flowers. New York 1 by Sue Oneson The day was cloudy and hazy, as ml st days were in New York because of the layer of smog that hovered over the city. John, pulling solemnly on a Marlboro, trudged down the filthy street littered with cigareite butts and candy wrappers. His Chucks made squishy spunds as he splashed in the muddy water along the curb. People pushed by, fat women pulling squalling kids, men in trench coats, old ladies clutching their shopping bags, busily running home, to the office, to the store . . . , An occasional drunk was stretched out in an alley, surrounded by garbage and rats, gripping a paper bag. John made his way down 14th. The gang was probably waiting for him. A skirt on the opposite side f the street attracted his attention, and John whistled appre riatively. It's funnyf' he thought to himself, how much I've grown to like it here. John remembered when he lived in Arizona. He went to school, didn't snioke, he was studying to be a doctor. Then his dad lost his job, and they moved out here two years ago. At first he wasi frightened. It was so big, and noisy, and dirty. But then he inet Billy, a dropout. They became good friends. John got used to the noise, and the people. He started to dress differiently, began staying out late, and skipping school. He gotl into fights with his parents, arguing over his education, his friends, his future. But then his father died, and the arguing stopped. His mother didn't seem to care anymore, but John didn't mind. It made things easier. The people on the south side had a better philosophy about life, he told himself. They ex- plained it to him, and he dug it. It was right. . John stopped to spit into the sewer and adjust his dark glasses. He watched a pickpocket thro lvv himself into a man and professionally extract his wallet, John laughed care- lessly and walked on. Life was so co back in Arizona. . . John threw down his cigarette an nfined and sheltered stubbed it out with 4 his toe. He looked up the street for Billy. He was supposed to meet him here. Billy stepped out into the street a block up and nodded to John. John nodde obediently. A light rain began to fall d back and followed as John disappeared after Billy into the alley. r Past Year by Laurie Muney l The year flew by 9 Like Pagasus on the wing tip All the good times we had Disappeared like the magiciiarfs rabbit. I I l l ! Barry Flax Victory Phil strides down the basketball court. Suddenly, with a quick flick of the wrist, Phil flips the ball across the court to Elvin. With his eyes fixed on the basket, Elvin pounds the ball down on the court. As he drives to the hoop, he spots Len open for a shot. In a flash, Elvin goes up in the air and whizzes a fluttering, behind-the-back pass to Len. Len dribbles the ball once and then glues his eyes on the basket. He jukes his opponent and then goes up for the jump shot. Swish! That is the end of the game. The mighty Bullets have defeated the thunderous Golden State War- rrors. is Robbie Horwitz Jimmy Carteris Mouth Jimmy Carter's mouth is like a view of the Mediter- ranean Sea. His teeth are the sandy beaches of the Riviera. His lips are the surrounding countries. The little pimple is Port Said. His tongue is a big ocean liner trying to cross the Sea. On top of his lip you can see the Alps. All Of This by Michelle Cohen Who could know, That from a simple smile, Would come all of this? Who could know yesterday, That today would be a day of such happiness? Who could know, That my mound of frustration and anger, Could be melted, By a teardrop? All of this I didn't know would happen- My happiness flourishes like a meadow. Tomorrow, something new will happen I'll discover it tomorrow, I like surprises. To Anonymous by Michelle Cohen You write some of the best poems there are, And your stories are filled with action, I saw a lady's picture you painted, So lovely, so realistic, but we don't know who she is Dear Anonymous, We don't know your name, Will we ever? Your image will not fade out- Your name is gone, But your fantasies, your hopes, your whims, Are identified in your creativity. And the lady, whose name we don't know, We shall always know, By her lovely smile, her deep blue eyes, So dear Anonymous, Don't feel bad, Who could forget you? A Cloud of Unreality by Michelle Cohen A sense, a cloud of unreality, Dominates the scene of our lives, And reappears even after it's put away. We look at scenes, situations, people, And we are disillusioned in some small Simple way or manner. What is actual and what is fake, Only labels for feelings, Only masks for our mistakes, our hopes. Shed the shield of unreality, And you only lose, A bit of life, a bit of fakery. 9 N' a E' 5 K Q E I L..

As you walk in you see a Redskin poster centered on the back of the door. In the far right corner there is a desk with a shelf of sports books lined up and a radio pushed up against the wall. At the back of the desk is a football lamp. On the wall behind the desk there are three hockey pennants in a straight line, the Capitals, Flyers, and Bruins. Under these pennants there is the window, which is curtained by clean, light blue drapes. To the right of the desk is the bed, made and tucked in tight. On the wall over the bed there are three baseball pennants, the Seantors, Indians, and Ais, lined up in diagonal order. This is the way a clean room should look!

My hippo, named Moe, he wasnit that old. He could swim all the day and never get cold. One day my Mom told me that Moe had been sold, To a very rich farmer who had lots of gold. The farmer and his dad took Moe away in a bag. Poor little Moe was not very glad and As for me I was so sad. I once had a hippo whose name was Moe, A hippo's a hippo, well isn't that so. Gary Reichard My Majestic Dream One night I leaped out of bed and streaked fnot nakedl through my room. I crashed out the back door and tramped into the woods. I came upon a gigantic rabbit. I chucked a 'rr ck at the rabbit, but it sprang into the air and demolished the rock. I got terribly frightened and zoomed home. I flew through the back door, my room, then pounced on my bed. It wasn't long before Idozed off. When I woke Irfound out that my startling adventure was a majestic dream.

There once was a woman from Vail, Who drank nothing but dry gingerale. However, she ate Everything but the plate, Which is why she is shaped like a whale. A woman who sold used canoes, Was so thin that she looked like a fuse. When her friends said, Gain weight, She did not hesitate After all, she had nothing to lose. 40 I I Marcia Spitalney February 22, 1977 THE RABBIT AND THE DOGS One day, in the small town of Caiiinesville, a big fight started over who was the smartest dog. Rover Hound and Spot Retriever both thought that ButIch Bulldog was the smartest, but Pinky Poodle and Spirit IDa1mation said that Sheba Shepard was. Although the figllft only lasted a few minutes, Spot received a black eye. j The judge, Tony Terrier, knew he had to do something, so he put up a sign reading: I CONTEST!!! I Enter and find out if you really are the smartest. I Today at 6 o'clock I Sure enough, theturnout was super. The contestants were seated with pencils, ready to begiIi. All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. In strutted Walter Rabbit, dressed in a sparkling, white tuxedo. HeItook a deep breath and amiounced, You said, 'Come see If you're really are the smartest,' so I came. You never specified whether or not I had to be a dog, so here I am. I As the judge thought it over, he decided that the rabbit was right, and therefore allowed him to enter. The rabbit took his seat among the contestants, and they began their tests. From time to time, Walter glanced at his lap, but no one knew that he had four pages of crib-Iiotes there. As the clock ticked monotonously, the contestants did their tests. Then the time-keeper yelled, TIME!! I and everyone re- laxed. The tests were corrected and, thanks to the crib HOICS, Walter won. The judge walked over to Walter and handed him the prize, a gift-wrapped dog bone! The moral of the story is: Cheaters never prosper. I I I I I I Roger Johnson Jimmy Carter I The things that stand out the most in Ilarter are his lips, his teeth, and his jowls. His lips are huge and look like a couple of Goodyear blimps. They hangjdown as if they were weighted by lead. His teeth 'stand out like miniature icicles and shine like icicles. He delights in showing them, so I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up on' day looking like a buck-toothed beaver. His jowls sag ag if weighted by rocks. He can always be found with his Ifavorite issue of TIME, the Inauguration issue. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I l Dennis Sickmen Playground The playground outside my window is so empty and lonely. The freshly fallen snow, sparkling like a star atop a Christmas tree, has kept the children away. The cold wind starts the swings swaying in the wind. The jungle gym longs to be climbed on. The merry-go-round hopes to be pushed to break the ice which lays underneath it. The playground will be a fun place in spring, but we'll have to wait. David Young Santa's Descent Santa Claus came soaring out of the starry horizon. He surveyed the snowy landing strip and made his final ap- proach toward the rooftop. The sleigh skidded to a stop with the engines up front whining. The jolly round man leaped from the magical sleigh and landed with a crunch on the fresh snow. He stretched, laughed, and bellowed a Ho, ho, ho!', because this was his favorite customer. Santa grabbed his bag of toys and waddled to the red brick chimney. With considerable effort, he heaved the bag up onto it. He cautiously clambered up to join it on the chimney. Sighing, he let the bag drop, hearing it thud at the bottom. He ordered his reindeer to Stay, then carefully descended the chimney to the sack.

This huge creature had an enormous body but a very small brain. One fall it came time for all hibernating creatures to start eating. The Kowalichicken, being a hibernating beast, had to start eating, for winter was coming soon. Unfor- tunately the Kowalichicken kept procrastinating his gas- tronomic duties until two days prior to winter. At that time he fmally lugged his two hundred fifty pound gargantuan body out of bed to venture into the wilderness in an attempt to stuff himself. To his alarm, all of the previously available food had been previously consumed. The huge beast returned to his home to attempt to hibernate on an empty stomach. This failed to work, and during the long, cold, winter the last,of the Kowalichickens slowly and silently passed away. Moral: Don't put off things until the last possible moment. Sleeper by Andrew Jewell Once there was a hungry bookworm. He squirmed his way into a library and started feasting. He ate his way through Aardvarks, the complete works of Beethoven, Elephants, Llamas, Pickles, Spiders, Whales and even Zoos. Then he hung himself up in a cocoon on an empty shelf, and there he was hung undisturbed for twenty-seven years. Moral: Too many books spoil the moth. 42 I I l I l I Innocence L by Robin Silverstone Innocence, tiny eyes staring at the world with all its vast space, Little hands grabbing, discovering, savoring. Self centered, only knowing of what surrounds the little mind. 5 Falling, struggling to regain balance: Summer evenings as the wind blows softly and the light begins to grow dim. An innocent smile, on the innocentiface, with its innocent look, and its innocent knowledge of an innocent world. l I l Greek Myths by Bobby Epstein We are beginning with the Greek, ' And just starting at our peak, I We'll learn the myths, let them loose, And hear about our old friend Zeusg We'll hear about Hercules, strong anti well, They'll be all joyful and ring the bell, The people will see him with fright. And he'll look down with all his might. l 1 There was Hades who came from hell, But a lot of people knew him well, He'd live with fire and even smoke, Q But the worst of all, the people choked. Poseidon is the king of the sea, And Noah rode on it with glee, Poseidon changes the shift of wavesi But sea is only for the strong and brave. by Gabriel Paulson I Feb. 24, 1977 I English, Period 1 Fable: The Wolf andfthe Fox In the vast woods, lived a wolf. He was the strongest and the dominant ruler in the entier wdods. One day, he met a fox on the road. Immediately he began to prove himself by showing his strength and aggressisfeness. He tore down a sapling with one swipe and tore the turf with another. The fox merely looked, unimpressed, and began to yawn. Angrily the wolf threatened the fox and began to assault him. The more cunning fox aggressively threatened the wolf back so perfectly, slyly cut him down about the wolf's weaknesses and looks, and finally made the wolf feel more like a mere lowly animal than a wolf. In a confusing frenzy and fright, the wolf shamefully ran away and never came near the fox again. I Moral: The most feared may not always be the strongest. Depression by Ellen Urban My head hangs heavy, And my thoughts evolve around him. I love him so. But, if he turns to her, which way am I to go? Torn by love and by hate. Trying to give, But at the same time, Trying to accept what is given me. I sit in my darkened room, My body trembles, I hear the sound of my throbbing heart and envision him with her in my dazzled mind. The tears I want to come, resist The tears of fear, worry, and anxiety. I guess this is what comes with love. 1 Bird by Debbie Dabbondanza There was a bear With lots of hair He met a bird Oh! my Word . But when he slept The birdie crept All through the house Just like a mouse. Marla Neal Linda's Hair Linda has bright red hair. When the light hits her hair just right, it shines. At the ends it curls, and out from her hair sticks her ears, but just a little bit. Her eyebrows and lashes match her red hair beautifully. Her hair comes down just below her shoulders. Sometimes she wears it down, and sometimes she wears it up in pigtails. When she runs, it bounces up and down and moves freely with the wind. It's always curly except when it's wet, then it is straight and straggly with a coppery color to it. She is always getting comments about her hair because it shines and gleams in the sun.

Jon Rubenstein Night Fishing As I cast the rod my new spinning reel hums. The hissing of the lantern is getting lower and lower, so I pump up the pressure. The crickets chirp cheerfully in the background. Suddenly the water splashes as a big bass takes my lure! 'Then the drag spins with a fast clicking. As I pull the bass up on the bank, it flops on the ground with a clapping sound. Finally I get the hook out of its mouth and throw it in a bucket of water with a splash. Lauren Pope The Snow The snow is white and fluffy. Rabbits and deer leave footprints in the whipped-cream snow. The wind blows and swirls the white, crystal snow all around. The sun starts to melt the soft snow, and kids come out and eat it like it was ice cream. They run and get the creamy snow on their noses! But, soon, all the white snow turns into gray slush . . . The Unhappy Giraffe by Ann Tucker Once there as a giraffe who wasn't happy being a giraffe. He saw some monkeys swinging from tree to tree. Being a monkey might make me happy , thought the giraffe. He climbed up a tree and got ready to swing. The giraffe slipped on a banana peel and fell down a steep ravine. Moral: When searching for happiness, don't make a monkey of yourself.
