The feeling radiated from pupil and teacher and was reflected in the flushed and ecstatic faces of companions. As each individual struggled to find his own niche, he was surrounded by this glow that filled the atmosphere with excitement. It was partial to no one and gave each student the enthusiasm to participate in diversified activities and strive toward personal goals. This “something’—this “something in the air’ was everywhere and never ceased to bring contentment to each that it encountered. Bursting loose.

What was that unexplainable aura that encompassed Freeman? It was that “something” which lifted your spirits when you were down—it shivered with excitement at the sight of a hundred Rebel flags waving proudly in the air at the Highland Springs football game—it kept your toes warm in the biting cold 35° weather at Todd Field where the Rebs encountered defeat for the first time—it was winning class competition at a pep rally—it gave you strength and hope when close friends or family became ill or were hurt—it was the thrill of getting that date with that “special someone”—it was a sense of achievement after receiving an A on your English exam—it was something which could not be pinpointed, but was everywhere and shared by all. It was Rebel spirit. — x oie S Thumbs up. After repairing a broken light, janitor Roosevelt Purvis congratulates himself on his success.

The gymnast who accomplished a superior routine or the chess club member who put his opponent in checkmate felt the sensation, but in a totally different way. SODA members saw it in the eyes of the sixth graders whom they worked with and taught that they were lovable and capable; you felt it when you discovered your locker covered with Happy Birthday wrapping paper and stuffed with balloons. When you ran to tell your friends (who were probably responsible for the surprise), each student that you passed caught a portion of the spirit which radiated from you. The current continued from person to person until each individual had grasped a piece of the spirit. No Exit. Students become accustom to the library's new theft prevention device. Cycle mania.

With maps and schedules in hand, incoming freshmen and sophomores bravely explored their new terrain. Cautioned by SCA President Jay Weinstein of elevator passes and senior privileges, the newly inducted Freemanites asked numerous questions of their Big Brothers and Sisters in anticipation of the first day. On opening day most classes were shortened due to the moming assembly in which Jay Weinstein stressed school involvement as the key to a successful year at Freeman. After the assembly, students returned to homerooms where endless forms were filled out resulting in cramped hands and boggled minds for most of the new ar- rivals. Classes proceeded in a semi- organized fashion as teachers and students took turns learning names and meeting new people. As the first tumultuous day finally drew to a close, many of the newcomers had already begun to take their places in high school, and were preparing to ready themselves for a year at Douglas Southall Freeman.

A lone Rebel flag momentarily remains listless as seniors take a break between songs at the Lee Davis pep rally. 10 Pep Rallies Rebel Rally “Pep Rally” probably isn’t defined in most dictionaries, but everyone knew what it meant. To some it meant that fifth, sixth, and seventh periods were shortened. To others it meant a time to talk with friends. Yet, to a majority of Rebels, a pep rally helped to heighten the excitement for the upcoming game. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike showed their respective spirit by wearing designated clothing and painting signs in preparation for the often heated battle for the spirit stick. Rugby shirts, white shirts, jeans, and even balloons showed the renewed spirit within the classes. After the sophomores disrupted the Tucker pep rally, though, the varsity cheerleaders decided to temporarily suspend class competition and supplement it for a united cheer by all classes. “Pep rallies are created to raise the level of spirit of the whole school and not to create dissension among the classes,” commented head varsity cheerleader Terri Wirth. With attention re-adjusted on the school as a whole, rather than on a particular class, the drill team, majorettes, and color guard were able to combine with the band and begin their routines without interruption from a class cheer.

As past and present Freemanites packed into the overflowing stands, greetings were exchanged as many returning graduates were reunited for the first time since they began their college life. Talk of upcoming exams could be heard throughout the stands as ex-Rebels and Rebels awaited the start of the Homecoming parade. Getting under way around 7:30, the Homecoming parade consisted of 44 cars and floats carrying a precious cargo of princesses and soon to be crowned Queen and Maid-of-Honor. As the floats made their way slowly around the track, they were judged on the most original theme and design. The winning float was the Senior class entry of ‘Rebs are best around, send Henrico underground.” Second and third places were taken by the Band and Spanish Club respectively. These awards, however, did not take into consideration the many months of planning and work which had gone into the preparation of all the floats entered in the Homecoming parade. For participating individuals, clubs, and classes, Homecoming actually began months prior to the festivites on October 21. Themes had to be chosen, and trucks and cars found to transport the floats, as Rebels transformed yards of chicken wire and thousands of napkins into spirit boosting floats. Tension mounted during halftime as thirty princesses lined up for the crowning of the 1977 Homecoming Queen. Senior Anne Trainer’s gasp acknowledged that she had won the title and the crown. Junior Class Princess April Hamel was selected Maid-of- Honor. Even though Homecoming proved to be a success for the Rebels who turned out to watch Freeman’s 20-0 victory over Henrico, there was one disappointing aspect which marred the otherwise perfect night. The canceling of the Homecoming dance due to S.C.A.’s failure to seil 600 tickets. Mixed emotions. With a look of astonishment, senior Anne Trainer screams and crys as her name is called for 1977 Homecoming Queen. ee ae Homecoming 13 More than a place to learn It’s what made you wave a Rebel flag and sing “Dixie” at the top of your lungs. It’s what made you spend endless hours before school for band practice, and endless hours after school for club meetings, cheerleading practice, and yearbook deadlines. It’s what made Douglas Freeman special for many students who did more than just go to school here. It was called spirit, and it came in many different shapes and sizes. On Fridays when pep rallies were scheduled, spirit was the prevailing mood. On these days the band set the mood and encouraged spirit by providing music for the jubilant students who turned out complete with ballons, flags, and rugby shirts—whatever was needed to urge their class on in class competition. The front groups and cheerleaders also took part in the activities by contributing to the fervor of the day. However, there was more to the spirit which was so enthusiastically displayed at pep rallies. It didn’t end with the bell signaling the start of fifth period and the end of the pep rally. This spirit didn’t disappear. It continued to be present and to show itself, subtly, behind the scenes, in posters, car washes, and float meetings. It could be found in play practice and in football practice. It — remained undaunted by the disappointments which the year brought. The spirit endured. Dixie, I'll never forget!

I shall be too late!” murmured the White Rabbit as practice was begun for the March 8, 9, and 10 productions of Stunt-Talent Night. The theme of “Alice in Wonderland” was chosen by the Junior class which produces Stunt-Talent Night every year in order to earn money for upcoming proms and floats. Rehearsals and auditions filled February, as participants were selected to begin the difficult preparation of carrying the theme throughout the performance. Scripts had to be written and rewritten, lines learned and memorized, costumes acquired, props made, and finally fifteen acts had to be chosen from twenty auditions. A panel of teachers and students judged the acts on the basis of ability and originality. Once acts were designated to take part in the production, the endless hours spent after school rehearsing, polishing, and perfecting routines began. Stunt-Talent Night and the preparation needed to “pull it off” proved to be worthwhile for all involved, as performances went smoothly with the best acts being awarded prizes.

It was time for 494 Seniors to graduate, thus terminating their high school life. For many this meant the end of teachers, homework, and school, and the beginning of jobs or lives of their own. To others it held the promise of college and more studying. For all involved, graduation remained a day which had been long looked forward to. From the time they ordered their caps and gowns to graduation day itself, excitement prevailed throughout the Senior class. Seniors looked forward to their banquet, bacculaureate service, and graduation night with expectations of happiness. Graduation day proved cold and rainy.

Senior Karen Munson and junior Mark Atkinson portray two starry-eyed lovers in a romantic scene from Ah, Wilderness. “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please! Tonight through the special permission of Samuel French, Incorporated, the Drama Department is proud to present Ah, Wilderness by Eugene O'Neil.” Following weeks of practice and hard work, the actors’ and actress’ patient effort was shown as Ah, Wilderness was presented to a packed auditorium on December 8 and 9. The auditions, rehearsals, and days spent before and after school preparing the play paid off as production went smoothly in spite of several mishaps. Passed off as part of the play, the accidental breaking of a table by Mark Atkinson prompted backstage giggles which gave away the mistake. The numerous hours of work contributed not only by the cast, but also by the interested students who signed up for set-construction, lighting, and make-up proved to be worthwhile as cheers and laughs rose from the audience. Aiding in the production, concerned Rebels assumed other less glamerous jobs: printing programs, hanging signs, and distributing tickets. Working behind the scenes these students sacrificed recognition for a rewarding experience. Their only reward was the satisfaction they attained by knowing they helped out. Ah, Wilderness centered on the growning pains of Richard Miller, junior Mark Atkinson, and his attempts to reconcile with his girlfriend, senior Karen Munson. Impressive and professional, Ah, Wilderness had many looking forward to the musical, which was produced in the spring. Plays 21 After Hours Nisht Life The familiar question of “What are you doing tonight?” could be heard as Rebels prepared for the upcoming weekend. Meeting in the library in the morning and in the auditorium after lunch, groups of Rebels socialized while planning their weekends. They looked forward to the weekends, which brought a much needed and welcomed break from the schedule of the week. Fleeing from the day-to-day routine of homework, students escaped on Fridays to be greeted with the usual choice of movies or parties. During football season, the football team provided entertainment for Rebels, who turned out in record numbers to cheer their team on to victory. Others with more money packed into the Richmond Coliseum to see Doobie Brothers and Pablo Cruise, while many headed for William and Mary Hall, where Boz Scaggs and the Beach Boys played to near sell-out crowds. When funds began to run low, Rebels frequented Regency Square, which remained a favorite place to meet friends while browsing through shops. As many Rebels turned eighteen, Broad Street Station and Phillips Continental Lounge became popular night spots in the West End. Less ingenious Rebels had to be satisfied with a night at home in front of the television. However, the general opinion was that almost anything was better than homework and studying. Shopping spree.

This year could very well be called the “year of the concert” as devoted Rebels turned out in record numbers to support popular rock bands. Other dedicated Freemanites traveled to Williamsburg where Boz Scaggs and the Beach Boys performed before jam-packed crowds at William and Mary Hall. Providing a getaway from the day-to- day school routine, concerts seized a large portion of Revels’ paychecks and sparetime. Freemanites have grown in the key of life accustomed to forking out $6.00, $7.00, and $7.50 for many groups in large demand. In past years it has been unprofitable for many groups to play at the Coliseum. High ticket prices causing poor ticket sales and small turnouts have led to the cancelling of numerous concerts. The trend seemed to be changing this year as cancelled-outs were replaced by sold-outs. Remaining one of the most popular singing groups, the Doobie Brothers returned to the Coliseum for the third straight year. Earth, Wind, and Fire were also high on Rebels’ list, drawing over 10,000 people to the Richmond Coliseum. Rock and roll is here to stay.

Jobs 27 hse After HOurs ‘Priorities Must De set “Will Maxwell Smart ever crack the code and break the spy ring ... or will Gilligan finally be rescued?” Seeing that sparetime was a nonexistent word in most Freeman dictionaries, few Rebels would ever know the outcome of these questions. With heads glued permanently in books, Freemanites lacked time to even take a break after school. Homework took up the majority of Rebel’s time with jobs running a close second. Between these two barriers, Gilligan didn’t have a chance and neither did extracurricular activities. As teachers reinforced their favorite motto, “Priorities must be set and my class had better take priority,” sparetime was pushed aside to make room for term papers, projects, and exams. However, a few versatile Rebels refused to crack under the strain and continued to participate in sports, clubs, and to pursue their hobbies unhampered by schoolwork. Remaining after school, athletic teams practiced and perfected their sports inspite of numerous tests. Club meetings were also held after school with a mandatory requirement for members to attend, on a “you miss two meetings you're out basis.” This tactic, supposedly, gave members incentive to tear themselves away from studies. Attempting to compete with schoolwork, publication staffs experienced an equally difficult time persuading members “that yearbook was more important than grades.” Last but not least, hobbies were alloted the time left over after homework and extracurricular activities. At this rapid pace it was no wonder that Gilligan was thrust aside for more important things. Fire fighter.

The event marked the 50th anniversary of Byrd International Airport and was accompanied by much fanfare and pageantry. The actors tried out two months in advance and were chosen from the Drama classes. Filling church choirs became a goal of many singers as interested Freemanites attended practices with girls from other area high schools. Usually held twice a week at night, the practices took the place of many a homework assignment. The sacrifices were rewarded, however, when on Sundays, perfectly harmonized voices resounded from the choir. Individuals interested in the fine arts participated in the Virginia Museum Youth Guild. Meeting once a month on Sundays, members also did security aide work, ushered at plays, and worked in the cloak room. Senior Mike Halvachs commented, “The opportunities offered through membership in the Guild helped me to appreciate the cultural offerings of Richmond.” Star-struck Rebels flocked to lectures given by Elizabeth Taylor, wife of Us: Senate hopeful John Warner.

As temperatures dipped into the 20's, “ Canterbury Lake became a popular meeting place for skaters and hockey players. Large bonfires were lit at night in an attempt to keep feet and hands gil iS warm, as skaters remained around the clock to take advantage of the frozen lake. Since the closing of Ice Unlimited, ice skating has been restricted to the colder days of winter. The colder temperatures and snowfall also succeeded in bringing about the unpacking of sleds, Seine toboggans, and cardboard boxes as Rebels headed for the “slopes,” alias the golf course at the Country Club of Virginia. Other Freemanites with more -® money and daring donned skis and took off for the higher slopes of Wintergreen and Massanutten. Drawing large crowds, popular ski resorts were jammed as Rebels experienced long lift lines and waits up to two hours. Most Freemanites considered the long drive, high rental prices, and lines worth the trouble as they returned week after week.

Winter 35 The not-so- lazy days of Summer 36 Summer For a few fleeting months, jubilant masses of Rebels were able to forget about school and enjoy the freedom which summer had brought. After being unchained from projects, term papers, and exams, students found themselves drifting in various directions. Graduation brought a relaxing change from the hectic schedule of the previous months, as many Rebels headed for the fun and sun at Virginia Beach. Others were attracted to the European atmosphere of Busch Gardens, while a few daring Rebs braved the Rebel Yell and King Cobra at Kings Dominion. Escaping to other parts of the country and world, Rebels fled from the day-to- day routine and filled their summer days with travel. The destination of numerous vacationing Rebels was Florida. For many, the highlight of the summer came as the Young Life bus left for Frontier Ranch in Colorado. This venture proved to be jammed with fun and excitement as well as inspiration. A group of Spanish students traveled to Europe where they toured Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, and England for three weeks with Miss Betty Cohen. Afterwards, junior Tony Brown recalled, “It was a worthwhile experience, | leamed a lot from the different cultures | saw, and the different people I met.” As in the past years, swimming, surfing, tennis, and golf remained popular pastimes on hot summer days. However, it was the skateboard which caught the eye of many Freeman dare- devils. Senior Rusty Hamilton commented, “Skateboarding is fun and it also helps to keep me in shape.” Coming to a sudden and unexpected halt, the end of summer vacation caused m any Rebels to reappear from their travels and activities.

Speech classes with Mrs. Marion Waymack strove to overcome the fear of speaking to a group. Mastering the primary steps of confidence, students learned the techniques of writing and 40 English delivering effective lectures. Entertaining and formal speeches were among those covered in prepared assignments throughout the year. These projects, averaging eight minutes each, readied students for a compository demonstration address complete with a slide show. “I didn’t know what to do—part of that sight reading was in German, I don’t know German.” Specializing in prose, poetry, or oratory exercises, Forensics students competed among themselves to represent the school at district, regional and state meets. Junior Dean Lewis commented, “The hardest thing was sight reading because you had to expressively read a story you never saw before.” “Oh, no. I just walked through a wall.” Remembering placement of imaginary objects in scenes became a familiar trouble to students in Mr. Albert Biddle’s drama classes. Extra credit skits portraying selected emotions gave class clowns a chance to prove their skills. Through these skits, actors got a taste of compulsory six weeks projects. Criticizing each other in their performances, students became observant of theatrical devises and techniques. They studied American playwrights and the history of drama and helped with the production of school plays. Just Imagine What am I?

Have you ever found yourself sitting in math class wondering why you were there? | mean, how can you use the circumference of an oblique triangle in fast-food management or as a salesperson at a clothing store? Certainly a logarithm isn’t going to pop up too often if you are a doctor or a lawyer. Why go through the frustration of not understanding a problem even Einstein would get stuck on. This question has puzzled many. According to Mrs. Louise Brock, there are many careers that math can be used in. “Electronics, accounting, and engineering are some fields math can be used.” She also said that math is important in the fields of science. “Geometry,” according to Miss Ethel Stone, “is a major part of architecture and can be used in many other fields.” Now that you see the necessity of math, try this one on for size: A vertical tree stands on a snowy slope that is inclined at an angle of 100 degrees. When the angle of elevation of the sum measures 25 degrees, the shadow of the tree down the slope is 40 feet long. How long would a skier take to fall from the top of the tree to the bottom of the hill?

His job would not have survived without the help of his assistant principals behind him. Mr. Bill Long, in charge of the discipline of the senior and freshman classes, also aided in organizing the scan sheets of absences, grades, and scheduling. Having been here since the opening of the school, Bill Long proved to be a helpful aid in almost any situation. Disciplining the juniors was Mr. Daryl Farley’s job. Mr. Farley attended to parking stickers, smoking permits, lockers, and the English and Social Studies departments when he wasn’t devoting his time to a junior in need. Heading up the maintenance and the calendar of school activities was Mr. Ray Long. Also taking up his time was bus scheduling and the sophomore class. In the absence of any assistant principal, Mr. Anthony was always coming to aid. He also prepared the budget for the school year and was always seen at athletic events to see that they ran smoothly. When asked why he chose to stay, he commented, “I love my work; if I didn’t, I wouldn't be here.” ee ee Organization strikes Mrs. Jean Moore, bookkeeper, as she proceeds to do some necessary filing.

Both smiles and sighs revealed a mutual thought—no notes today. Settling in their desks, students prepared for a period of rest and a chance to ridicule another “elementary” filmstrip. Soon shocked by gory scenes of automobile accidents, however, they wondered if notetaking was so bad after all. Renewed resolutions at the end of class to wear safety belts proved the film’s impact.

Seat belts fastened, mirrors adjusted, and hands at 10 o’clock and 2 o'clock, students sat back in their stationary mini-cars. Subsequently, all eyes turned to a large screen in the front of the classroom. A film began to play. A moment later, the entire class proceeded to “drive” through a snowstorm, only to encounter a motorcycle cutting in their path. As 14 drivers jumped to brake, small red lights flashed on the machines of those with delayed reactions. Recorded on a computer in the back of the room, other driving faults included steering, signaling, and speeding. Decide to grab the key for the white Volare—the only car with power steering, power brakes, and a radio. Completing all necessary safety procedures, pairs of students sat impatiently in their cars, waiting for the signal to start the engines; however, soon all vehicles began moving down the range. As one glutton for punishment chose to show off his skills by driving in circles, a voice screeched over the intercoms—‘“Car number four, STOP! STOP” Passing, parking, and changing lanes became favorite m aneuvers as students imagined themselves on city streets and highways. Execute passing classroom, simulator, and range activities. Added tests were still needed in order to qualify for a license. Students took a written and optical examination for their learner’s permit. With this, they could take “on the road” training with coaches. Driving on local roads and highways, students proved their capability of handling real objectives and situations. The final test consisted of driving around an area near DMV.

Rumors indicated the possibility of elves. Further investigation, however, replaced this suspicion with the reality of custodians and cafeteria employees. Arriving earlier in the morning and staying later at night than faculty and administration, custodians spent long hours working to improve the school’s appearance. Their duties included sweeping the remains of “locker clean-up” from the halls and washing notes to friends off of desk. Emptying trash cans and repairing faulty utilities were also among assigned responsibilities. Preparing lunches and washing dishes occupied moming and afternoon hours for cafeteria employees. In addition, they, along with custodian Roosevelt Purvis, cooked for team banquets. Mysterious 1 Elves Concentrate on Clean-Up Splattered success.

The library was closed for about a month, but to avoid inconvenience to students, the available books, films, and magazines could be used during classes although they could not be checked out. Students had to become accustomed to many new policies throughout the year. The Guidance department helped seniors out of their slump when they discovered they had to fill out one financial aid application instead of the usual three. This made less paper work for the guidance counselors who were busy planning schedules, coordinating tutors, and listening to student’s problems. During the year, many distressed students could be seen stumbling into the guidance offices with varied problems. The six counselors were always there ready to listen and help. Mr. Ernest Venturino, guidance director, was in charge of the entire program, while the other advisors were assigned to specific homerooms.

Students made use of the Home-Ec. kitchen to prepare both chicken and strawberry crepes. Miss Wallinger invited several speakers to her classes, including a friend from Belgium, who spoke about daily life in France. “Projects add variety to regular classes. We have more of a chance to express ourselves, and a chance for a better grade,” Miss Wallinger commented. There were similarities in the language classes, junior Robin Johnson, a Spanish III student recognized. Spanish history proved itself a prominent topic to third year students who studied it throughout the year. Groups of three or less Spanish IV students met after each six week unit to perform a pantomime concerning a Spanish-speaking country. Reports on Indian tribes kept fourth year Spanish students at the library, researching to present a visual report.

German was taught through the fifth level. The first two years were spent mostly on grammar and structure. “German is a very complicated language. To learn, it takes hard work and determination,” stated German teacher Miss Marlisse Bok. In the third year students began to apply what they learned in the preceding two years. Individual reading and reports on German novels were done. German plays were read aloud in class. Latin classes progressed only through four levels. In levels one through three, an individualized textbook was used; a more traditional book was used in the fourth year. The first year of Latin was taken up mainly by structure and grammar, while second year students did units on mythology. Julius Caesar was studied in third year and word derivation in the fourth year. Mrs. Sara Jo Pitts French I, II; Latin I, Rebelettes Ch. II; FNHS.

Sophomore Linwood Fisher smooths the rough edges of his jewelry storage box for his six weeks Woodworking project. There are two“preppy” groups: those who dress collegiate-style and those enrolled in the Industrial Arts classes. Besides having advantages for practical uses, these courses prepared students for college and for related careers. Electronics taught repair of radios, televisions, and stereos. Mathematical equations explaining the flow of electricity complicated the course. Woodworking students built and fixed cabinets and tables. Projects were constructed, graded, and counted as tests. Other lines of Industrial Arts were Graphic Arts, Mechanical Drawing, and World of Communications. In the latter, students studied how people communicate using drafting, electronics, printing, photography, and radio. Graphic Art students designed and printed material including stationery and greeting cards. They studied photography, silkscreen, rubber stamps, and careers that use these skills. Mechanical Drawers learned to sketch objects in total dimension and scale. Contrary to old-fashioned belief, many girls were enrolled in the courses. “About 40% of my classes are girls,” commented Mr. Bruce Watson, Graphic Arts teacher. Tinker toys.

Frank Pooler, choral professor at the University of California, received a gracious welcome from choral students and Mr. Deen Entsminger in mid-April. Bringing a selection of his own works, Mr. Pooler conducted and prepared ensembles for a spring concert. A December performance at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. highlighted the year for the Concert Choir. Included in the program were songs by Mr. Pooler and Advent Transcriptions, a composition by Mr. Entsminger. Preparation for the concert required long hours of training in class and at home. Failure to practice was followed by Mr. Entsminger’s threat to assign quartets. In October, this threat became a reality as 38 quartets were formed, each consisting of one person from respective voice-parts. Singing portions of their musical collection proved students’ knowledge of their notes and tempo. A larger group than previous years marked the Girls’ Ensemble with a combination of 14 altos and 13 sopranos. Attendance at a workshop at Longwood College aided the girls in fields of theory and “warm-up.” Handley High School and the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music, both in Winchester, Virginia, were the sights of two November concerts. Here, the group showed inspiration as they sang compositions by Frank Pooler. Music History and Literature pupils studied works of composers from Beethoven to Irving Berlin. Style analysis in both voice and instruments made students more aware of their musical surroundings. Sight-singing and interval study were among those exercises examined by the Music Theory class. A spring project demonstrated their skill as each student composed a song and presented it to an audience. Do Re Mi.

The word brings to mind discoveries and wars. After completing the four required subjects of Social Studies — World History and Geography I and II, U.S. History, and U.S. Government, the average student usually discovered that it was a lot more. In World History and Geography I, students studied European history from the beginning of civilization to contemporary times. Students participated in many interesting projects like drawing political cartoons and making videotaped advertisements for the Industrial Revolution. Students also took field trips, when possible, to the Virginia Museum. The culture of different major areas around the world was studied in World History and Geography II. Students discovered the different aspects of life in countries in the Middle East and Africa. Extracurricular activities included dressing up in the costumes of a foreign land and preparing and eating different types of food. Speakers from foreign countries came and talked with some of the classes. Students of U.S. History began with the study of American Indians and ended up with events that could shape the future of our country. Honor classes had to do several oral and written reports as well as a term paper. Alistar Cooke’s American Series provided a break in the usual routine as well as taught history through interesting antidotes. Government classes taught the students the fundamental workings of state and federal governments. Students learned the beginnings of our government and how the constitution has set it up.

In fact, even when the power went off, some students refused to miss a day in class. They typed by candlelight. Miss Marian Breeden commented, “A prerequisite for my Typing II class is Typing I; candlemaking isn’t necessary.” Students who wanted to work with people, not machines, benefitted by Distributive Education classes. By taking the semester class, Career Investigation and Development, students learned what they wanted out of a job, learned to use resource materials and learned to investigate unusual careers. Spending a day at the job of their choice helped some students decide if the chosen job was really the one for them. A job interview can be a scary experience, but for students who took Occupational Essentials, the task came easier. They learned how to look for jobs, get interviews, and put their best side forward. z Marketing I and II, taught by the Distributive Education teachers, prepared many students to work with people in a buying or selling job.

For those interested in mini-courses, Food Management, Child Development, Clothing Management, and Home Furnishing were made available. In Food Management, female Rebels studied diets for young children, elderly and families. They entertained friends and honored Miss Virginia Saunders at a party for the school’s secretaries. Child Development students, along with class study, visited a hospital to study natal care and care for hospitalized children. This class also held a playschool in which they observed childrens’ physical, mental, and social development. Clothing Management required an individual project chosen by the student. It usually meant the making of an outfit. Home Furnishing required a project which the student designed a room of a house. Mrs. Verna Sanger commented, “I’m pleased we have so many boys along with the girls because we feel we’re reaching more students than when it was just a girls’ course.” Soi ttt oi .

With Biology as a prerequisite, the classes worked on an individual basis. Letters to Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, concerning Harp Seal killings illustrated Environmental Problems students’ concern with ecology. The last two weeks of the semester, these students presented projects summarizing their research and interviews with companies that polluted the environment. Eye color, hair color, and the ability to roll one’s tongue were among those genetic traits of interest to Advanced Biology students; a trace of five generations through their family trees revealed a number of their hereditary traits.

The JV team also gained Colonial District Champs, and they succeeded in winning 15 games—the most wins recorded ever by a Rebel team. Both teams, JV and Varsity, practiced daily from February to May, the sleepy JV team working out with Coach John Walker before school, and the Varsity team practicing after classes let out. “Support at our games was fair,” commented Varsity Coach Wayne Hoy. He felt that more students should have attended the games. The success of the teams even without enough support was overwhelming and helped make Freeman an outstanding school in the field of baseball. 84 Baseball take — SOARES Power drive!

Forty-three boys competing for a place on a ten-man team proved the popularity of tennis in the West End. The February tryouts, nevertheless, kept a few returning members. When asked why he tried out for tennis, Eric Martin replied, “We are involved in one of the most exciting sports to watch and play, and, of course, a victory for our school adds a special thrill.” During practice, the pl ayers challenged each other for team rankings. They eliminated each other and the top seeded players participated in the match. Days of early and late practices were alternated with the girls’ team to balance court time. Running from March to May, the netters’ season ended with a record of 10-6. Rebels took second place to Tucker in the district team match with Eric Martin placing second in singles’ competition. The doubles team of Charles Bowles and Eric Martin claimed the district title.

This was true among the top players, who were seniors Drew Edwards and Jeff McKenna, junior Rick Amidon, sophomores Jon Hood and Mike Payne, and freshman Paul Copeland. Jon Hood commented on this aspect of the team, “the competition for positions was very tough because all the players were so evenly matched.” The team’s only seasonal defeats were two matches to Tucker, one of which was only by one stroke. Participation in the Quantico Invitational Tournament benefited the team as they placed second in the district. In the regionals the Rebels suffered another heartbreaking defeat by Tucker in a playoff for second place that would have sent them to the state finals.

To stay in shape, the distance runners had to train all year. The season continued until the end of May. During this time the team improved not only collectively but also on the individual basis. There were five outstanding members. Bobby Rhett excelled in the high jump events, while on the other side of the field Dwight Wells was winning at sprints. Pat Hohl and Preston Smith also did well, Pat in the pole vault and Preston in the shotput events. Peter Ruggles helped keep the team ahead in the distance events.

Coach Betty Harrelson felt that the new-found spirit of the girls had a lot to do with the successful season. The successes included sending freshman Karen Kaechele, an outstanding member of the team, to the state meet and all of the relay teams to the regional meet. - The support of the fans was much stronger at the meets than it had been in past years.

Walking through the halls during the first weeks of the new school year, one could hear excited voices repeating, “They say if Highland Springs is gonna be beat, Freeman’s got the team to do it!’ While several team members and the coaching staff showed their spirit by shaving their heads, girls gave them some disapproving looks and complained, “You can’t tell who’s who without hair.” As the first Friday night of the school year approached, everyone was ready. Those twice-a-day practices in the 100+ degree heat of August paid off with the usual first victory of the year over Manchester, 33-6. Later, they slipped and slid easily over George Wythe 23-7 in a drenching rain. The week of the Tucker game had the traditional tension and excitement. Unfortunately, some of the usual vandalism took place on Wednesday night, after the vandals figured that extra patrols would be out Thursday night. Friday afternoon Tucker held a “prep rally’ (no class), while Freeman “de- striped the tigers, and swung ’em by the tail.” However, the only thing that mattered was the final score that night of 7-0, with Meade Langhorne taking the ball to the end zone, and Bruce Woodworth kicking for the extra point. Clubs and classes showed their support with Homecoming floats. They warned Henrico Warriors of the ultimate defeat. The Warriors did not even score, but the Rebels brought in twenty points.

Coach Bill Powers defended Freeman all week long, while Springers’ Coach Rinaldi attempted to psych the team out through the papers. The game became more of a rivalry than Tucker had been. Both teams went in with an 8-0 season. The winners would leave as the unofficial Colonial District champions; the losers would finish with a 9-1 season. Predictions were that Springers would win 15-14. By 6:30 Friday night, the stands were filled at Springers’ Kriter Stadium for the eight o’clock game. The crowds were later estimated at 11,000. The game had the fans up and down all night. Highland Springs dominated the first half, but in the final minutes Freeman got a big break. Bill Esposito and Bruce Woodworth got the ball and took it to the Springers’ 40. Five plays later, Woodworth blocked for Scott Jenkins’ one-yard dive for six points. Woodworth kicked the extra point, and at the half Rebels were leading 7-0. Early in the second half Spencer Truman ran 36 yards in two plays. He had the ball knocked out of his arms at the one-yard line but Bill Williams jumped on it in the end zone for six more points. The Springers controlled the ball for the rest of the game, making their only touchdown with 8:40 left. The final quarter was played mostly within Freeman’s twenty, but the strong Rebel defense proved itslef by holding the Springers until the clock ran out. Rebel fans poured onto the field to celebrate the 13-7 victory, while the Springers left with their 28 regular-season-game winning streak ended. The Colonial District Championship was Officially the Rebels when they ran over Patrick Henry 35-0.

The Thursday after the Patrick Henry game, Bill Esposito returned to practice having recovered from what was thought to be a concussion during the Highland Springs game. Bill did not finish practice. “He said he didn’t feel well,” Assitant Coach Ken Moore explained to his classes, “so we sat him down, and the next minute he was out.” Thursday night Coach Powers and Mr. Anthony spent most of the night with the Espositos at Henrico’s Doctor’s Hospital. Bill had two blood clots removed from his brain. The papers picked up the story and on Friday morning the halls were filled with questions and concern for “Espo.” The varsity team was called to the gym after homeroom. Coach Powers explained that Bill would have to have a second operation that morning. As Bill’s condition stabilized, news of his every move spread quickly and excitedly through the halls. The Richmond Blood Bank was flooded with donations for Bill. His teammates could not give blood because of the upcoming game, but Tucker’s team gave along with other area players. The team had a rough time practicing for the regional, but Mrs. Esposito gave them a pep talk. She told them that they would have to beat Petersburg; that was what Bill would want more than anything else. So the team got ready to win for Bill. Friday’s pep rally psyched the team up. Matt White gave the team talk, “I was at the hospital . . . and Bill stuck the No. 1 finger in my face, so we’re gonna win it tonight for Bill.” And the game was Officially dedicated to Bill. Dwight Welles told area newspaper, “Everything we’ve got is left for Bill. This is the last thing we can do to show how much we love him. When he wakes up we want to be able to tell him we did it for him.” Coach Powers told the papers, “I want to win, (but) I’ll lose 1,000 games if it would help him get well. More than ever I’ve learned it’s just a game this year.” 100 Varsity Football The Rebels played hard at City Stadium that night, Dwight Welles was back on the field after recovering from a knee injury suffered during the season. Johnny White was hit hard in the back during the first quarter, breaking a couple of ribs. In the end, the Crimson Wave was broken, and a 7-3 victory was won for Bill. Thanksgiving weekend saw the Rebels take on the Hampton Crabbers at Newport News’ Todd Stadium. Freezing temperature and high winds made playing the State semi-final difficult. The scoreboard remained at O- 0 until the final minutes. The Crabbers pinched the Rebel defense, took the ball in to the end zone, and kicked an extra point. The Rebels were stopped and placed No. 3 in the state, missing the bid for No. 1 by the score of 0-7. The defense was considered one of the top teams in the state. It gave up only forty-two points in twelve games, seven points too many for the State Championship. College scouts showed much interest in many senior players. Area sports writers named seven Rebels for the All-Metro team: seniors Meade Langhorne, Bruce Woodworth, Bill Esposito, Tad Berman, David Stinchfield, Ross Stemheimer, and junior Dwight Welles. Bill Esposito made both offensive and defensive teams. Meade Langhome and Bruce Woodworth made the All-State team. And Bill Esposito received an honorable mention and was home by Christmas. ' p!

Varsity Football 101 During the summer months many of the cross country members practiced for the upcoming year by sprinting a few miles every day to get in better shape. They ran in the neighborhood, on busy streets, and around the University of Richmond campus. The runners were observed as diligent workers with a winning season as their ultimate goal. Official practices started in early September with each runner averaging five miles per day with Coach Ken Barbour. The track was used as a pacemaker while the surrounding area set their distances. Each runner averaged three miles or five thousand meters and a lot of wear and tear on various types of track shoes. Achieving their goal of a good season, the team won their first two meets and all additional ones, except against Hermitage, who shut out every other team they ran against.

O runners also performed to their fullest potential with a third place in the district. Due to the hospitalization of Steve Ownby, one of the top runners, only a fifth place was won in the Regionals, and placing for the state meet was missed by a single point. The Booster Club sponsored the team by helping with transportation, lodging, and other expenses when the runners traveled to three invitational meets at Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, and William and Mary. They ran very well against other teams in the state placing in all of the meets with a first place at William and Mary. Danny Chen, co-captain with Dennis Ashcraft, commented, “The team worked very well as a whole group in all of their meets.” They had a well-earned season and good chances for a winning one next year because of a returning nucleus of five lettermen.

The team also ran laps, shot fouls, participated in scrimmages, and worked on presses to build up their basketball abilities. All of their endeavors paid off, however, as the varsity team finished third in the regular season, second in the district, and second in the regional tournament—the first winning season in two years. The junior varsity team also played well, concluding the season with an 8-6 record. Kathy Jones, a junior playing on the varsity, felt that one of the reasons for the improved season was that the girls were allowed to play in the new gym. “It has more room than the old one, as well as superior floors. Playing in there also made us feel more important to the school.” Night games, new this year, were made more fun when the Booster Club began cooking pre-game meals. Lisa LaFratta, Betsy Facka, and Debbie Moss became the first freshmen on the varsity team. They attended Byrd Middle School and disliked having to come to Freeman for practices because they sometimes felt alienated from the older team members. Lisa stated, “Although I wished I could have been playing for the team of my school, I was 104 Girls’ Basketball 1 6 proud to be on Freeman’s, and it made me feel at home and comfortable there.” Kathy Jones and senior co-captain Debbie Weymouth both made all- district, and Debbie made the all- regional. There were no individual stars on the team of ten able basketball players, however. The team had good height and depth, and its members could be substituted freely. Junior Anna Morris, the other co-captain, agreed: “We have a well-spirited team, and we work as a team and not as individuals. The support was a little better than last year, but it still could be much improved.” Miss Sue Manahan, the varsity coach, added, “The success was due to a good total team effort.” Coach Jim Sangston, athletic director cum girls’ coach, felt that his junior varsity team improved throughout the season, although none of its members were high scorers. “It was an up-and- down season, but good on the whole. It was a big adjustment for me, after coaching boys’ basketball teams for nine years before becoming athletic director, to have to coach girls, mainly because I had to go back to fundamentals.” The one hundred plus per cent effort that each girl put forth was well worth the effort, however, as the basketball team finished with a winning season.

But, very few people realize that the junior varsity and ninth grade teams were, also. The varsity team received a lot of publicity and outstanding Rebel support. The J.V. and ninth grade teams received very little. Although they put in many hours of hard work and played a great season, the ninth grade and junior varsity teams were somewhat neglected. Darren Lynch, Steve Morgan, and Stuart Wells were tri-captains of the freshman team. They led their team in a totally victorious season, allowing only one touchdown from their opponents. Even this one touchdown upset the team, who had been undefeated and not scored upon since they began playing football together in the seventh grade at Byrd. “B” Team Front Row: Lee Bowers, David Wilbourne, Cardoza Smith, James Edwards, Matt McGee, Greg Woolwine, Chip Buff, Doug Young, Maximo Narro.

They were originally scheduled to play seven games, but after the first three victories, the next three consecutive games were cancelled. The team practiced in the large gap of time between the third and the final fourth game, but lost the valuable game experience that could have been gained in the cancelled games.

Mr. Ken Moore, coach of the junior varsity team, said his boys were better players than they had an opportunity to show. The players didn’t complain about the shortened season or lack of support. Sophomore Steve Riley, a member of the B team, commented, “I enjoyed playing, but Saturday morning games cut Friday nights short—we had to be at school about 8:30 on the morning of the game!” The freshman and junior varsity teams may have been over-shadowed by the varsity team’s publicity, but they maintained a winning season and a good outlook.

Handicapped by the extended football season, the varsity basketball team had a slow start. Several players were still involved with football, and therefore had little time for basketball. Co-captains Jack Poynter and Phil Swenck rallied the team to practice hard to improve their record. The team, having only two seniors with seven juniors and three sophomores, was younger than usual; consequently, it had less experience. Sophomore Anthony Kavanas transferred from Huguenot Academy in the fall. Virginia High School League rules required a transfer student to attend a new school for one semester before participating in athletics, so Anthony could not play for Freeman until second semester. The squad was rearranged by Anthony's addition. He became the top scorer for the rest of the season. Disappointment prevailed when a close game against Hermitage was lost in overtime. However, in their first encounter with Tucker, the Rebels overtook their rivals with spectacular fan support. Wins over Lee-Davis and Trinity also highlighted the season. Enthusiasm picked up as the season ended, even though attendance remained low. The players’ skills and organization improved with each game. Pep club secret pals and cheerleaders were a constant support throughout the season. The season ended with a loss in the District Tournament. As Coach Warren Carter commented, “The team, led by the enthusiasm of its co-captains, the only seniors, played aggressive basketball most of the year.

That’s what it took to overcome the lack of support shown to the 9th grade and JV basketball teams. Playing in a high school league instead of junior high caused a few difficulties for the underclassmen. However, the freshmen soon adjusted to these problems. The squad learned to work together as a team — they learned to cooperate with each other. This cooperation gave the freshmen valuable experience. More importantly, it produced a winning season; the team won most of its games. The junior varsity team suffered a season of disappointing defeats. However, the season helped to prepare the upcoming year’s varsity squad. Playing against experienced competition helped to improve the team’s abilities. The sophomore’s potential was best shown when team members Anthony Kovanes, David Sterret, and David Sampson were placed on the Varsity Squad. Sphere of suspense.

Ever wonder where Americans got the name ‘football’ for a game involving more throwing than kicking? Well, thirty Rebels tried their hand (or should it be foot?) at the real game of football- soccer, Europe’s football and the fastest growing team sport in America. The sport enjoyed a burst of enthusiasm from fans. One fan claimed, “The guys are really appreciative and get excited to see people in the bleachers.” Co-captains Tommy Adkins and John Bode headed the team’s exceptional unity. That unity brought a completely successful season: fourteen shutouts, sixty-nine goals for the season, and goalie Chuck Friend allowed their opponents to score just seven goals. The fourteen shut-outs broke a state record. The team advanced to the District Tournament with only one loss to Lee-Davis, 1-2. Beating Patrick Henry 3-0, and Lee-Davis 4-0 won them the District title. The 1977-78 All-Star Soccer team, named by the Virginia Soccer League, included seven Rebels: seniors Tommy Adkins, John Bode, Gill Crittenden, Chuck Friend, Mack Tabb, and Jon West, and junior Mark Atkinson. The second team included seniors Mark Elmore, Gray Carter, Young Kil-Kim, and John McLaughlin. Around Christmas the team began discussing the possibility of kicking around in a few soccer games in Europe for three weeks. It was decided that Coach Bruce Watson, Mike Cottington of the “Y”, and eleven or twelve players would spend seventeen days in Munich, Germany with two or three Lee-Davis players. A schedule of six games against high school teams was planned. They also planned to watch professional games and to take day trips to Austria and the Alps. The Rebels planned to learn more about Europe’s football. Kick it! Senior Mack Tabb takes advantage of complete control of the ball during the Tucker game where Rebels scored a 4-1 victory.

That’s what it took to overcome the toughest part of wrestling — maintaining the desired weight. Dieting was the main weight control method, but many wrestlers found it especially hard during the holiday seasons. Many wrestlers resorted to fasting since several pounds could be lost by not eating in just one day. The varsity wrestling team underwent no major changes from last year. The team depended on everyone for some scoring. Tri-captains Bobby Harris, Howard Aposhyan, and Bruce Woodworth helped the team produce an 11-0 record, including a first place finish in the District Tournament with 165 points. Spirit added to the team’s success in the Regional Tournament when 9 wrestlers advanced to the semi-finals. After the first round, the team was leading with 102 points. Only four Rebels made it to the finals: Howard Aposhyan, Jim Kinter, Bobby Harris, and Bruce Woodworth. Spirit was promoted by the wrestling cheerleaders — the grapplettes. The twelve girl squad, headed by Valerie Possenti, cheered at all the meets and provided painted signs and “goody bags” for the wrestlers before the meets. JV WRESTLING.

Gerulitas, Newcombe, Borg, Ashe, Laver, Mayor, Barazzuti, Rosewall ... The pros came to the Richmond Coliseum at the beginning of February for one week of good tennis — and some bad manners — in the “United Virginia Bank Tennis Classic.” It was the only major professional sports event held in Richmond. Ticket series sales started in November, and by mid- January reserved seats for the finals were sold out. Most of the preparations for the tournament were completed by early January. Mr. Hugh Waters and the other pros at the Richmond Tennis Academy organized the ball boys. Four Rebels were chosen senior Margie Waters, captain of the winning ball team, junior Rebecca Kalman, and freshmen Charlie Hyatt, and Marc Kalman. Practices for throwing accuracy and quickness were held on January weekends. The teams were graded during the tournament with the winning team working the finals. Charlie Hyatt commented on ball boying, “It was really great being down there with all the good players.” She went on, “I hit Borg with a ball in the throat. That was embarrassing!” Marc and Rebecca Kalman worked the Ashe-Nastase match. Rebecca worked the net and Nastase pulled some of his antics on her. “He faulted, the ball rolled back to him, and then he moved his arm back and forth pretending to roll the ball making me bob up and down.” Rebecca explained, “Then he rolled me the ball and said” ‘Good Exercise!” Perfect pose. Rod Laver unknowingly poses for a photographer while asking ball boy for a ball. 116 UVB Tennis Classic Nastase called the umpire a few names, and several spectators thought he should have been defaulted. Anyway, native Richmonder Arthur Ashe won the match and went on to be defeated by Ken Rosewall of Australia. Most of the popular players — Nastase, Ashe, Laver, and Rosewall — were out of the tournament early in the ‘week. To the disappointment of many Richmonders, Sweden’s Bjorn Borg had to forfeit to Australian John Newcombe in the quarter-finals because of a pulled stomach muscle. Newcombe advanced to the finals on Saturday. New Yorker Vitas Gerulitas beat Newcombe for the Richmond title. The match was just good tennis with no arguments. Newcombe’s speech asked Richmonders not to think of the players as a “bunch of spoiled brats.” Gerulitas’ speech made him look like a real gentleman, but Richmonders changed their minds during the doubles final. The team of Hewitt-McMillan took on the team of Gerulitas-Mayor. The arguments started at the beginning when a lines man called two footfaults on Gerulitas. A few games later, Gerulitas thought he had won the game, but the ball was called out. All four players were called back t o the court, and Hewitt and McMillan took the game. Mayor and Gerulitas argued with the umpire. The head lines man was called over, then the lines man in question was replaced. The other lines men walked off. The crowd went wild. It sounded more like a baseball game than a tennis match. The lines men were replaced, the crowds were quieted, and play finally resumed. Hewitt- McMillan took the match. Only Frew McMillan spoke afterwards, apologizing and saying he had been embarrassed by the behavior during the match. The other three players left without a word. So, the “gentlemen’s sport” of tennis was over for another year in Richmond — for the pros that is. Championship form of Vitas Gerulitas brings him the Richmond W.C.T. title for 1978 in the finals match against John Newcombe.

It was the school’s largest team, consisting of a first string of just under 2000 seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen with second and third strings of faculty members, alumni, parents, future Rebels, and other community members. The other teams needed them. Mr. Anthony was always proud to defend them at other schools. They showed their own pride with Booster Club window decals, mugs, and hats. _ The first string held practice from 1:00 to 1:15 on game days. The band got them rowdy while the cheerleaders tried to organize them. They divided into four teams for class competition. Each team demonstrated its spirit and intelligence by spelling out its class. The freshmen and sophomores showed their nerve (or was it disrespect?) by screaming out their classes in the sacred bleachers, to the disbelief and indignation of the juniors and seniors. Practices ended with a couple of choruses of “Dixie” blasting from the band section. Fall was their biggest and best season. Every Friday night they flocked to the football games in blues and grays with Rebel flags, humming “Dixie,” and claiming to be number one. Their dedication shone at the rainy George Wythe game and the Thursday night Benedictine game. Their pride gleamed at the rivalry with Tucker. Their tension was apparent at Highland Springs; it erupted into tears of joy and screams of “We're Number One!” as they spilled onto the Springers field.

Mr. Anthony’s announcement about Bill’s need for blood brought responses from countless donors. The football squad won the regional game as they shouted, “Let’s go for Espo!” The football season ended Thanksgiving weekend at Todd’s Stadium in Newport News. But the team let the Crabbers know that they were there in the 30 mile-an-hour winds and a thirty-two degree temperature. The same week football ended, the winter season started without giving anyone a break. The season Mr. Anthony called “the round ball season” gave them a variety of choices. Basketball was a favorite among them. They came on Tuesday and Thursday nights, despite homework assignments, to the games in their blues and grays with their Rebel flags. Soccer matches were available for those who could brave the lowering temperature; however, soccer was still young but growing in popularity. The wrestling team kept up its reputation. Girls’ gymnastics was around for anyone interested in grace and poise. Their spirit continued through out the winter with four basketball games shceduled for the first two weekends of the season. They still had their window decals, hats, along with senior class yell- a-phones and junior class mugs. By spring their thoughts turned toward summer vacation, and the spring sports has only a few of them. Yet, wherever they were, whomever they played, they let it be known they were behind the Rebels because they were the Rebels. s Keeping warm is the idea seniors Beth Wray, Betsy Stansill, and Ronnie Gun have in mind at the Hampton game. Fans 123 or Sarah Ad 126 SCA Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Panther or a Tiger? Students participating in Student Exchange got a chance to find out when they visited neighboring schools for a day. Junior Ginger Heflin, after an exchange at Tucker, commented, “I hope Freeman doesn’t go block because it makes the day seem so long. Since you only go to three classes a day, when you are absent, it would take several days before you could make up all the missed work.” “I can tell you where to go.” This slogan, another tradition, could be read frequently around the halls during the first couple of weeks of school, as SCA Big Brothers and Sisters guided newcomers to their classes. The year got under way as the SCA planned a homecoming dance, but a lack of support from the student body cancelled the plans. When the Student Council Association joined the Varsity Cheerleaders to sponsor a Spirit Week, there was again a need for Rebel spirit when few students dressed in mismatched clothes and made posters. Hush Day, however, did not go unnoticed as frustrated boys were seen trying to persuade girls to talk. Students working with R-CAP showed their concern for others and for their community when they devoted afternoons to visit with city children. Senior Ann Fleming organized volunteers to act as Big Sisters and Brothers to underprivileged children. To encourage participation in R-CAP and all school activities and to recognize those who had served, the SCA awarded letters. et's tanc 0.

Working late into the night, senior Ann Bowden hammers another two-by-four on to the FCA float in anticipation of the Homecoming parade. What did you do on Wednesday nights? Study for a test? Go to bed early? Talk on the telephone? Many Rebels chose none of these alternatives and instead spent the evening with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, FCA members discussed plans designed to benefit school and community. Relinquishing much of their spare time on the weekends, members traveled to the Beaumont Home for Boys where playing football and eating refreshments proved to be the favorite pastimes. Excursions to the Virginia Home resulted in pleasant walks and conversations between students and patients. Laboring late into the night, FCA members presented the football team with a Homecoming message to “Hang Henrico”. Capturing first prize last year many members expressed disappointment with the inability to place in the float competition. However, junior Mike Garret explained, “Even though we failed to place, the building of the float made the club more unified.” Also convening on Wednesday nights, Young Life attempted to reach out spiritually to the high school student. Heads tumed as youthful Young Life leaders roamed the halls on Wednesday mornings circulating colorful leaflets announcing the weekly club meetings held at the homes of students. Aided by Tuck Knupp and two guitarists, Young Lifers joined together in skits and the singing of spiritual songs, followed by a religious talk by Tuck or another counselor. After the gathering, many assembled at Hardee’s for a traditional hour of socializing. During the summer, Young Lifers from all over the country gathered at Frontier Ranch, Colorado for two weeks of mountain climbing, horseback riding and fellowship. Junior Brent Leftwich commented, “Not only did I enjoy meeting new people and doing new things in the Colorado atmosphere, but the Christian fellowship helped me to grow in my spiritual life.’ Trips to Young Life camps such as Windy Gap, North Carolina, weekends at Virginia Beach, pig roasts, square dances and hayrides offered opportunities for the growth of individual relationships in Christ.

At the Virginia Junior Classical League Convention in Roanoke, Austin Jones placed first in third year vocabulary while Susan Sancilio won third place in fourth year mythology. Club members also took part in the National High School Latin Exams, The Classical Association of Virginia Exams and the Ares Latinae Certamen held at Mary Washington College, all of which tested members’s ability in Latin grammar and vocabulary. Dressed in togas and mythological costumes, members feasted and competed in mock Roman olympic games during the Lundi Romani held at the University of Richmond. At every Rebel wrestling match, cokes were sold to fund these:and other activities. A spring banquet concluded the club’s year. After collecting money during lunch several seeks before Christmas, German Club members raised one hundred and twenty eight dollars to donate to the Salvation Army Shoe Fund.

Who is this vandal that stalks the halls? She is probably a member of the Pep Club. Delivering candy surprises to team members before each game, the Pep Club urged players on to homeruns, baskets and goals. During afternoons and study halls, members combined paper and paint to create banners which decorated the hallways. “Bounce the Springers” and “Destripe the Tigers” hung above the stands in the gym to promote spirit during pep rallies. ‘“Dump’em Dixie” became the theme for the Homecoming float as Rebels forced members dressed as Henrico Warriors to push a large trash can filled with “Warrior trash” around the track. In the spring Pep Club presented the Greg Taylor Track Award to the most outstanding senior short-distance runner. Offering the alternative of becoming a Freeman Booster, a Big Booster or a Super Booster, the Booster Club discovered many parents and students opting for the latter. A parent who donated one dollar became a Booster and received a decal; donating five dollars, he received the title of Big Booster and four plastic cups. However, a red and blue Super Booster hat awarded the donation of ten dollars. Chartering three buses for transportation to the Highland Springs football game, the Booster Club encountered so great a response that the chartering of a fourth bus became necessary. Faculty and students received a surprise with the construction of a brick marquee financed by the Booster Club.

Members auditioned individually in front of Mr. Deen Entsminger, who also was a member. Practicing every other day and on Monday afternoons, members prepared performances for music students at Virginia Commonwealth University, senior citizens, and church meetings. Downbeats, a group composed of ten girls, studied contemporary music. Completely self-governed, the Downbeats gathered every other day during fifth period and on Tuesday nights, practicing to entertain church groups, women’s clubs, and the Rotary Club. “We have to be more sure of our parts and the music in a smaller group, but I have learned a lot singing with the Chamber Ensemble,” explained junior Tony Brown.

The band added something very special to pep rallies, football games, and basketball games. The musical organization members, playing everything from piccolo to tuba, performed to promote school spirit. Neither cold nor sleet nor dark of night could stop the band from participating in the Tobacco, Poultry, Azalea, and Apple Blossom Festival parades. Receiving a third place in their division in the Tobacco Festival Parade, Chip Gibson, band president, presented Mr. Anthony with the trophy at the Lee- Davis pep rally. Old dolls, stuffed animals, and toy cars collected by band members were donated to underprivileged children in order to enter the Toys for Tots competition at City Stadium in the spring. The District Music Festival, also in the spring, held at an area high school graded the band on its performance and the difficulty of music played. Enlarged to 120 members, the band was divided into two classes to accommodate everyone. With Mr. Dennis Walters gone, Mr. Hunter Purdie was left in charge of the band year around. Mr. Purdie commented, “I did it (directed marching band) for nineteen years and now I feel back at home. Last year I traveled around and taught at elementary schools.” Friday night float parties resulted in a fort surrounded by Indians with “Hold off Warriors” as the caption and second place at Homecoming. Lynn Aldredge graced the old west scene as band princess.

For the five Freemanites and the seven Senators from Byrd who composed the freshman cheerleading squad, Thursday nights meant urging the ninth grade football team on to conquests over their opponents.

DECA? What are they? The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America succeeded in spite of a lack of recognition. Students who signed up for the Industrial Cooperative Training courses automatically became members of VICA and were offered the opportunity to participate in several projects. A party for needy children at the Methodist Children’s Home, a picnic for VICA employers, and field trips to area businesses highlighted the club’s calendar. In addition, VICA members took part in contests to test their leadership and occupational skills. Participants from forty-nine schools provided tough competition with the winner receiving a trophy and a cash prize. Mr. Robert Jameison, VICA sponsor, commented, “The club is as successful as the kids make it. It’s all their doing.” DECA’s membership was composed entirely of students enrolled in Distributive Education courses. With the addition of semester courses came the opportunity for twice as many students to get involved in DECA. Members participated in a series of learning activities during the school year which increased their understanding of marketing and the responsibilities of holding a job.

A: They all receive sponsorship from Freeman’s boys service clubs. Continuing the tradition of past years, Interact, Hi-Y, and Key Club remained active and helpful to the community. Despite the long establishment of the clubs, their new ideas benefited Richmond. Key Club sponsored a food drive for the Christmas Mother. Food was collected in the homerooms, each class striving to give the most. Key Club also performed their annual duty of escorting the Homecoming princesses. FOR MEN ONLY Key Club and Interact combined efforts in the early fall to enter a raft in the Third Annual James River Raft Race. Interact members also contributed to the orderliness of the school grounds with trash pick-up duty, as did Key Club. Interact members arrived at school early to raise the flag, while Hi-Y posted sport events and other worthy information on the marquee in front of Freeman.

Sunday mornings once a month they attended various churches, such as West End Assembly of God. Afterwards famished members invaded area restaurants for an enormous lunch. Colorful tray favors created by Rebelettes II brightened Thanksgiving Day at Libby Convalescent Center. During the Christmas season both chapters aided the Salvation Army as they rang bells at Willow Lawn. Smiles and the jingle of coins erased the feeling of frozen noses and toes. In an effort to fight hunger in Richmond, Chapter I collected and distributed canned foods to the Crippled Children’s Hospital. Several afternoons after school, the delicious aromas of chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, and Rice Krispie treats drifted down the hall to tantalize students and teachers. Those who found loose change walked away happily munching. “It is good to get together outside of school to engage in social activities that are fun and also useful,’ commented Rebelettes I] member, Mary Jones. 156 Rebelettes | and Il Rebelettes Chapter I: Sponsors Mrs. Margaret Caskie, Miss Linda Wallinger, Sarah Adams, Mary Blackburn, Paige Cromar, Patti Davis, Jennifer Dudley, Laura Edelman, Ginny Edwards, Paula Eubank, Jeanne Face, Francis Fain, Edie Fekete, Kitty Fekete, Chris Floyd, Kate Gaylord, Mary Goodrich, Sandy Haily, Eleanor Hammack, Linda Hart, Kathy Hatz, Ginger Heflin, Norma Hillard, Malynda Irby, Melissa Irby, Teresa Jacobson, Cheerful carolers.

Topic is resolved: That the federal government should guarantee comprehensive health care to all citizens living in the United States. With notecards in hand, members of the Debate Team attended the Greater Richmond Debate League in late January. Red eyes and cramped hands resulted as debaters researched their topics in preparation for District Tournaments. The team consisted of those who were switch-side, negative, or affirmative. A quick breakfast and a long drive allowed Freemanites to participate in invitational meets at Wake Forrest and Fork Union. They stayed close to Rebel territory as they took part in a workshop at the University of Richmond. The juniors Brian Goldstein and David Scoven had the privilege of debating with two Spiders from the University’s Resolve: Hear ye, hear ye! Members of the Debate Team tea m. “It was a very good experience ' discuss their arguments for the next tournament. and an educational one,” commented Brian. Filling out questionnaires and waiting for acceptance did not worry Chess Club applicants. Only an interest in chess was a requirement to join. With only one officer, senior John Dallara, the organization was informal. After having the previous year off from competition, the club felt revived enough to involve itself in matches against Tucker, Hermitage, and Highland Springs. To gain experience and perfect their techniques, the fifteen members formed a ladder and played against each other. Not associated with VHSL, the club was able to schedule matches later in the year to give members time to strengthen their weaknesses. Debate team.

It does to the Electronics Club. Along with repairing T.V.’s, constructing homecoming floats, and holding carwashes to raise money, the club also built C.B.’s. President Mark Oley commented, “Participating in this club has really expanded my knowledge in electronics.” Most of the members have been interested in this field of science and have been enrolled in one of the two electronics classes. At the end of the year, the officers of the club were sent to Georgia for a nationwide convention. As the Electronics Club traveled to Georgia, the Science Club toured the NASA facilities at Langley Field and observed the solar operations. Twice a month, the scientific students held a seminar where they listened to speakers, watched movies, and discussed projects. The strange clacking of computers could be heard by anyone who happened to walk by room 141 as the Math-Computer Club fed information into the computer terminal. Jay Weinstein, the president and one of the founders of the club said, “Everyone in the club is required to have at least one project dealing with either math or computers throughout the year.” But who would join a club to do Trig.? No one! The projects were usually fun things ranging anywhere from Bolean That's a big ten-four, good buddy! Algebra to serving refreshments at a reception for a speaker. Lucky members of the Medical Arts Club got a chance to learn about the many medical occupations available. Different speakers came and lectured at the meetings once a month to help students get a more detailed picture of the careers in the health field. For instance, Mr. Alberti attended a meeting and discussed his duties at the West End Rescue Squad. This was an opportunity to educate interested students who were shown the requirements and benefits of the various jobs in the medical field. Electronics Club, Math-Computer Club 163 Comment s’appelle-tu? Un, deux, trois ... Tres bien. Sound confusing? You bet. But to straighten things out, TAG members visited fifth and sixth graders every week. In the county’s program, talented and gifted elementary school youngsters met once a week at Three Chopt Elementary School to learn simple foreign words and phrases taught by a two-member team. The couple, either fifth or fourth year French students, played games and sang songs in their language with the children. To help sixth graders develop their own ideas and opinions, SODA members visited elementary schools twice a month during a fifth period study hall or any other available study hall. Painted signs and posters accompanied the team as they walked to the parking lot in preparation for their drive to meet the sixth grade class. Once every two weeks the SODA partners picked a student to be a “Super Star.” Everyone in the class received this honor before the year’s end along with the nice phrases the rest of the class wrote on the poster about them. Twice a week Future Teachers of America members worked with Ridge Elementary children from kindergarten to third grade. Often helping the slower students and acting as teacher's aides, many members gained experience in preparation for a career in teaching. FTA participated in Homecoming with a float, made stockings for the children’s ward at St. Mary’s Hospital during Christmas, cooked a Pot Luck dinner, and held a spring banquet. Once a month the club invited guest speakers to discuss teaching methods. Place your cards. Senior Karyl Leigh Bowe plays a French game with TAG students at Three Chopt Elementary School. TAG.

Butterflies made their stomachs uneasy as speeches were completed and tappings began. Recollections of grade point averages, community services, and other achievements added to their wonder and suspense as presiding society students roamed the aisles searching for the future members. “Wait a minute. He’s walking towards me ... Oh, he’s going further back. Oh my, he tapped me! I can’t believe it! What do I do?” Rushing up to the stage to accept their pins, the “chosen ones” recognized the worth of their hard work and studying. A reception was held later so that acquaintances could be made between old and new members. The sampling of cake and cookies turned the reception into a celebration. After the reception, the newest members learned of the added responsibility of their position. Besides setting an example for others, National Honor Society members tutored students who needed help, cleaned trophys in display cases, and posted names of honor roll students in the main hall.

Commentator, a rather harmless name, has been the popular complaint among several patients under my treatment. The main problem seems to stem from deadlines which occur periodically every month. Stress terrorizes these victims as they attempt to fit headlines and fill in advertising space. After an unsuccessful day vending telephone directories, many of these depressed souls have collapsed in my office, crying hysterically. Many relate problems obtaining information a on interviews and have become shy and withdrawn. Educator seems to have similar detrimental effects. Pressure builds in these devoted Freemanites when they force their creativity to produce stories, poems, or prose. Many suffered physical exhaustion due to hectic weekends in Charlottesville and New York. In an effort to reduce the subscription price, both groups have suffered deep psychological damage as they coped with complications and rebuttals. I hope that this report will be given your consideration and evaluation. It is my firm belief that any unstable person could collapse under the extreme pressure placed on each staff. These effects can not be ignored, and action is immediately necessary. Sincerely, Dr. Herbert Helpall 7 et Royal procession.

It had been a hard day. Two tests, a Spanish quiz, and a stale bologna sandwich for lunch had lowered my morale to the point of nonexistence. I shuffled into the yearbook room and slammed my books down at my usual seat. My throat became parched, so I walked into the hall to attack the nearest water fountain. A fellow junior assistant boomed from behind me, “Hey, Susan! Did you hear how the class pictures arrived? In Pampers! They arrived wrapped in Pampers! You know, those baby diapers.” After five minutes of interrogation as to how the business staff reacted and why they arrived this way, I returned to the room. Upon entering, I noticed a group of editors with their heads bent together. Occasionally a cry of “I like it!” or “You've got to be kidding!’ was heard above the room’s regular roar. Overwhelmed by curiosity, I strolled over in hope of picking up a few juicy tidbits. In this heated conversation, | realized the cover for the yearbook was in debate. In an attempt not to enter the conversation, I quickly returned to my desk and began some copy. Suddenly it occurred to me how hard everyone was working. Three editors surrounded by cropping pencils and pica rulers were drawing their layouts, while a group of assistants were frantically trying to think of a caption. Just as an idea popped into my head, I was confronted by two demanding seniors and assigned more copy. | instantly knew what this meant—a trip to Westbury for a Coke and another long afternoon in the Historian room.

As the weeks passed and deadlines drew near, seniors flocked through the guidance office doors, snatched up transcripts, and begged for recommendations.

Friday night parties were non-existent on College Board weekends, as SAT’s __ and Achievements had seniors at school early on Saturday mornings. Later, with class ranks distributed and tests scores received, the big question remained: “Where do | apply?” Many seniors decided early on “their” schools, but others spent weekends viewing campuses across the state. The schools which remained the most popular with Freemanites were James Madison, the University of Virginia, William Mary, and Virginia Tech. The last play in the college- preparation game was, of course, the __ long wait. Some lucky seniors applied early, got accepted, and sat back to watch their classmates chew their fingernails.

They were the four students from _ Freeman nominated to attend the _Govemor’s School For the Gifted last summer. John went to Mary © _ Washington College in Fredericksburg, _where he drew his courses from a list ranging from Computer to Music Composition to Zen Buddhism. Jenny, Patti, and Will attended Randolph- Macon Women's College in Lynchburg to take up) their summer studies. _ “Tt wasn't really a school atmosphere at all,” John commented. Will added, “You could lear as little or as much as you wanted.” All in all, none of the _ participants at Governor's School minded missing a month of their usual - summer routine. “You just can’t get 115 _ students together and not have a good _ time!” Jenny exclaimed. — Two other Freemanites who dedicated - some summer days to _ learning were seniors Janet Haney and _ day Weinstein. For one week in June, _ Janet attended the American Legion _ Virginia Girls’ State Convention at Longwood College in Farmville, while _ day traveled to Lynchburg College to _ partake in the Boys’ State Convention. _ The participants in each convention - enacted a mock state government, and _ throughout the week acquired first- _ hand knowledge of the election process. Janet, who became a “member” of the _ House of Delegates at Girls’ State, commented, “Not knowing what to expect, | went with a bad attitude, but _ after a while I really began to like it.” Jay became a senator at Boys’ State, and summed up his summer event by _ saying, “I loved it. | met new people and learned a lot about the state’s - government.” All of the Governor's Schock Girls’ State, and Boys’ State participants - agreed that their summer adventures _ were valuable learning experiences, and, as Janet exclaimed, “Well worth missing a little sunshine for.” Seniors 181 Barbara Ann DeTurk Concert Choir; FHA; Historian Business Staff; “Lothar”, “Ah, Wilderness”; Stunt Talent Night; VICA.

Work, though, requires skill and preparation, as well as a sincere interest in a certain profession. Some Freeman students who were prepared to work after graduation spent part of their high- school years getting a head-start. About — seventy-five ambitious Rebels traveled daily to The Hermitage Vocational- Technical Center at Hermitage High School. Some of them attended morning classes, while others spent the afternoon at the center. The courses at Hermitage ranged from cosmetology to CL-IP. In her cosmetology class atthe Hermitage Vo-Tech center, Senior Theresa Garrett practices her hair-cutting technique on a fellow student. auto-mechanics to data processing. Sisters Bernadette and Theresa Garrett are enthusiastic about the program. Bernadette, who was in the second year horticulture course, said, — “Since we work in both the classroom and the lab, it’s more interesting and students rarely cut class.” Theresa, a student in the third year cosmetology - class, added, “I’ve taken all the courses at Freeman that I’ve needed or wanted. I plan on making cosmetology my career because I enjoy making people happy with the way they look.” If anyone asks a Hermitage student, “What are you doing after you graduate?’, he'll be sure about the answer.

Last summer, senior Seth Tandlich | and Steven Howes, a friend of his from New York, completed a five-week, 1700-mile bicycle trip through New — England and Quebec Province. Without any adult supervision, the two boys relied on their own self-discipline and — common sense in finding shelter, preparing food, choosing routes, and © budgeting limited time and money. Seth _ reflected on the trip and the reasons. behind it in the following paragraphs. — “The idea was to travel independently, be loose, and have an adventurous, pleasurable summer. By June the pressure of responsibilities, the irritation © of petty rules and regulations, and the © sheer boredom invariably accumulate to — make a bike trip (or similar release) a necessity for restoring personal balance. _ On a bike trip there is no one saying, _ ‘Son, where are you supposed to be?’ “Although we often pedaled ninety mines on a traveling day, our itinerary _ was unplanned and constantly underwent revision. We rarely stayedin campsites. Instead, we opted for the © woods or made friends with a local resident who allowed up to pitch our — tent in his backyard. After movingnorth of Montreal, it became necessaryto carry out most of these communications _ : in French, — “The variety of people and situations we came across was amazing.

Gimme an ‘E’! ... Defiant cheers echoed throughout the boys’ gym as the Class of ’78 rallied to | proclaim its senior status. Unity and enthusiasm led the class to clinching the “spirit stick” numerous times, though competition with underclassmen was exasperating. The selling of Yella- Phones as a senior class project resulted in intensified—almost deafening— cheers at pep rallies. _ Splashy red, white, and blue posters adomed senior homerooms, announcing “Senior Supreme” as the royal slogan of the upper class. Exuberant seniors weren’t about to let underclassmen forget who held rank in the student body. “We’re number one!” stuck in seniors’ minds as involved class members constructed the first-place Homecoming float. The prize-winner combined a real live devil with billowing clouds of smoke in depicting a cemetery of defeated foes, and exclaiming “Rebs Are Best Around, Send Henrico Underground.” _ Participation and involvement were the key factors which led to success for the class of ’78, a class which every senior was proud to be a part of.

That’s the way the song went for most seniors, who much to their dismay found senior year far costlier than expected. _ “You want it, you pay for it!” became a dreaded response as upperclassmen tried their luck with Mom and Dad’s pockets, usually to no avail. In some instances, however, parents gave in, deciding that senior portraits shouldn't be passed up, graduation announcements were a handy investment, and SAT and Achievement Tests were a must. The act of merely applying to colleges was another expense—another necessary expense. Clothes, gifts, dates, ski trips—you name it, it took money. And the prom ... most guys held their breath at the thought of the one-night extravaganza. By the time visions of Virginia Beach rolled around, graduating Rebels checked their wallets and proclaimed in dismay, “I don’t care where we stay, just make sure it’s cheap!” Seniors 191 Stacy Ann Lindley Commentator, Reporter; Concert Ch oir, Secretary; Girls’ Basketball, JV.

Craig Matthew Slovic Home Away From Home _Imagine yourself in a foreign country with only one good friend and a slight knowledge of the native language. Could you live in a strange land, away from your family for nine months? As an exchange student from West Germany, senior Almut Debusmann did just that. While she attended Freeman, Almut lived with senior Catherine Ravaux and her family. Last year, while on the exchange program, Catherine lived with -Almut in her home town of Kaiserslautern. _ “T really like it here, but I’m looking _ forward to going home,” Almut commented. She added, “In Germany, people have more of a chance to get to know each other. Here, things are so rushed. There isn’t any time between classes.” About the differences between _ the school systems in Germany and America, Almut remarked, “In Germany, we have more subjects to take, but less of a choice. We have to take the courses that are given to us. Here, everyone is taught in a group, but in Germany there is more individual attention.” _Almut’s activities at Freeman included her membership in the string ensemble, where she enjoyed playing the bass, piano, and guitar. “My three hardest courses this year are psychology, humanities, and French, but I really like them all.” Almut baffled students and teachers by speaking fluent German and French as well as English in conversation. At home in Germany, Almut enjoyed skiing, swimming, and dancing. Since classical dance is taught to all teenagers in Germany at age fifteen, Almut understandably found the dancing here “strange.” What are some of her American “favorites?” “Ice cream! — and movies. The movies here are much better than in Germany!” Seniors 199 Brenda Darlene Smith Elaine Marie Smith Commentator, Reporter; Stunt Talent Night. Elizabeth Diana Smith DECA;: Rebelettes Chapter IV.

Well, they have — in the publications field. At the eighth annual Virginia High School League conference, held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, publication staff members were proud to receive the high awards presented to the Commentator, the Educator, and the - Historian. The VHSL Conference also oftercd staff members the opportunity to strengthen journalistic techniques and — grasp new ideas relating to their specific publications. Senior Mary Dugan, assistant copy editor on the —© Commentator staff, commented, “I _ disagree with some of the points brought up, but I did pick up a lot of | ideas. | realized that there doesn’t have to be a set form for the newspaper; it can be fun and interesting.” The bustling excitement of New York City awaited the publication staff members who travelled north in the fall to attend a convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. For two _ days they heard professors, lawyers, and students of Columbia University speak on the creative aspects of writing. In addition to spending the afternoon — hours attending the speeches, staff members went to plays and ate out at night. Senior Mary Jones, editor-in-chief of the Educator, commented, “I was really impressed with the presentation and organization of the convention, and. felt it was profitable as well as exciting for all of us to see the professional side of journalism.” 202 Seniors Nancy Anne Talley DECA; FCA; FHA; SCA Council.

The summer before his senior year Rick travelled to Milwaukee, _ Wisconsis to win the gucikine round of — 5 oa USGA Public Links Tournament. _This summer Rick will compete again in _ the tournament, and springtime sees him trying to’ qualify for the State Amateur Tournament as well as the U.S. Amateur Tournament.

To earn the highest rank of a scout, — Eagle Scout, a boy had to prove that he — could plan, carry out, and complete a project, usually consisting of one- hundred hours of work. Though the scout could call on the help of others, © the project’s success depended on the boy and his sense of responsibili ity.

Seniors 207 Juniors Mugged For the price of three dollars and fifty cents, Freemanites received a treasured relic of their high school years — A Rebel mug. Motivated by Junior Class President Tom Spangler the drive sold over five hundred mugs. Due to their popularity among Rebs a shipment was recorded for the second semester. Paint splattered hands and sore thumbs appeared with the construction of the class’s Homecoming float. With theme “Rebs are the Stars in this War” the large masterpiece depicted characters from the movie Star Wars.

Students from Freeman and other area high schools saw much more of the Sunshine State than just Walt Disney World and Daytona Beach. The Honor Seminar was a program consisting of fourteen students who excelled in math and science. Two to three were chosen by the Science Department at Freeman and the other participating high schools. Doris Hudgins, Steve Levet, and Adrian Compton represented Freeman. The students attended classes at the Mathematics and Science Center concerning many fields of science. Excursions were made whenever they could be arranged. One such trip carried the aspiring scientists to New Point Cumfer to study the marshes. During Spring break, the group of juniors and seniors travelled to Florida to explore the Everglades, the Florida Keys, Marineland, and Walt Disney World. “There were many activities for just one week,” said Junior Steve Levet, “But it was well worth the rushing around ... we didn’t even have time to work on our tans.” Juniors 211 Rick Farrell Kathy Fields Malinda Fields Rusty Fogg Brad Ford Jan Frasher Rick Freelin Shelley Frier Joan Gammon Cyndy Gardner Brian Garnette Bill Garrett Mike Garrett Pam George Babette Gerwin Dennis Gibbs First Day A junior stumbled into the auditorium and quickly fell in line. As she approached the stage, she fumbled in her purse to produce a slightly crumpled check. The check was promptly handed to a smiling Balfour Company representative and a small plastic package was presented. This was it! After six months of anticipation, class rings had arrived! The tiny package was immediately torn open to reveal a shining topaz jewel set in a polished gold ring. A grin creased the junior’s lips as she cautiously placed the ring on her finger. 212 Juniors OF Rings The number “79” beamed from one side ... Beautiful! The bell sent her thoughts back to reality, but walking to her next class she was sure to wave to all her friends with her jeweled right hand. Geometric theorems were ignored that day in favor of gazing at her ring. For the next few days, chatter consisted of “ohhhhs!” and “ahhhhs!”’ over other’s ring selections. Sympathy was showered on those who were forced to return their rings because they did not fit or they were defective. Swollen fingers with red bands were telltale signs of the ring-turning ritual, whereby the ring was turned 79 times by classmates for good luck. Soon the ring became a regular decoration, but who could forget the excitement it had brought, the class pride it symbolized, and the memories it was sure to bring in later years?

After paying a registration fee, the girls were kept busy practicing evenings at local schools. The fifteen players on each team were from area schools, competing within a league and playing scrimmages with teams from other counties. Junior Elizabeth Prince and Sophomores Robin Douglas and Lori Henley competed in the age bracket just beneath Ginger and Sandra. Their team captured the Virginia State championship. At the end of August, area coaches recommended players to compete in the All Star Tournament. Among the fifteen with the most votes were Ginger and Sandra. As a result, they travelled to Not A Beaut Contest such places as Florida, Texas, and California. Ginger commented, “I'll never forget the fantastic times at the national tournaments. I hope a lot of other girls will get involved with Miss Softball America and see how fun it is.” Even though the Miss Softball America sounds like a beauty contest, the only judging concerned skill. The girls weren’t worried about working up a sweat or getting dirty sliding into third base. They won more than a title because they gained valuable experience while having fun. Juniors 215 Resident Policeman THE SCHOOL: DOUGLAS FREEMAN STUDENT BODY: 1,869 My name is Rollins ... I carry a badge. Officially I’m Detective Jim Rollins. I've been at Freeman on assignment since last December as a sort of “go- between” for the students and police. My job is to council, advise, and basically create a better undertanding of the police by the students. Henrico installed the system after its success in Chesapeake, Virginia. | come every other day, dividing my time between Freeman and nearby Tucker High School, where | perform similar duties. I like kids and I enjoy working with them. Most of the kids I see come to me because they have been caught with marijuana, but I also see kids who just want to talk about the police. I notice that every student who has a problem concerning the police also has a family problem, so it is not fair to blame the police or the school for all of a child’s problems. I started as a policeman on the street, but I’ve always like kids so I requested a transfer to the Juvenile Division. That’s how I got this job as a Youth Services Officer. Next I hope to get a transfer to an investigative post, unless I get promoted to Sergeant first. Still, I love my work here, and despite the fact that I’m a Tucker graduate I’m very impressed with the people at Douglas Freeman.

Carol was entertaining a few friends at her sixth birthday party when a green haired, white faced being bearing a small furry animal in her right hand appeared. The silent figure went on to entertain the children by making characters from balloons and performing card tricks. Leaving an hour All The World Loves Q Clown later, the mysterious guest left the kids with aches in their sides and tears in their eyes from laughter which the stranger had brought that day. The creature was not a Martian or a Pleutonian, but a friendly fellow earthling, Didi Hutchinson. Didi began clowning at parties when she was thirteen years old. “When I was a little kid, I was always a clown on Halloween,” she explained. As her father was an actor, Didi had plenty of makeup to practice with. In addition to birthday parties, Didi has also performed at the International Festival in the Arena and in the June Jubilee downtown. Didi’s basic outfit consists of a green Afro-style wig, long green eyelashes, a white face with red cheeks and glittery eye shadow. Didi is a happy clown, but she does not speak during her act. In reference to talking clowns, Didi says, “They sound so much like normal prople that there is not as much fantasy involved. I have a puppet that speaks instead.” Didi, a junior, clowns as a sideline to her acting. She has performed in plays at the Barksdale Theater, the Experimental Theater, the Children’s Theater, and the Great Southern Music Hall in Florida. Although Didi thinks of clowning as second to acting, she enjoys performing at birthday parties and she says, “I like kids and | really can get into things with them. Being a clown makes this possible.” Jeff Ritenour Ann Rosenbaum Stephen Ross Martha Rowe Zoe Roxburgh Michele Ruben Ruth Ann Rusher Susan Sancilio Jenny Sanders Dwayne Sanderson Lomi Sandlin Wayne Saunders Vay Saurs Johnny Savage Sandy Scaletta Becky Schaffer Dave Scoven Dawn Sealy Allen Seawell Bernadette Shaia Gerard Shaia Garrett Shelton Lucy Shields David Shobe Amy Shoenes Tom Shreve Carl Shulze Lisa Siegel Sharon Silverman Stewart Slatton Beth Smart Brian Smith Henry Smith Jeannette Smith Jeffry Smith John Smith Lowell Smith Rebecca Smith Clowning Around.

Juniors 219 Will I ever finish this term paper? worried many juniors as they went through the painful process of completing their firstesearch papers. Assigned mainly in history and English classes, topics ranged from F. Scott Fitzgerald to the French and Indian War. “I did mine on Edgar Allen Poe because I was really interested in his unusual style of writing,’ commented junior Norman Tiller. Loaded with books containing literary criticisms, Rebs began to sort through information and to fill notecards. The night before the papers were due, many juniors found themselves frantically copying over their rough drafts. “I didn’t even go to bed!” remarked a tired Nathan Wilson. However, after it was all over most had benefited by the experience. Junior Susan Neill remarked, “Although it was a lot of work and sometimes | felt discouraged, I feel that term papers are a good learning process.” To add to the academic pressures of the juniors were the Preliminary Standard Achievement Tests. Juniors took the PSAT’s and felt anxiety over their anticipated scores. Since SAT’s are important for college acceptance, juniors were concerned about their performance. Junior Malinda Field added, “Even though PSAT’s don’t really count, I was curious to see how my scores turned out.” Academic Headaches 220 Sophomores Suzanne Smith Kent Snead Debbie Snydor DeeDee Snydor Mark Solomon Lori Sontag Tom Spangler Caroline Sparks Andrea Spessard Bill Stacia Kathleen Stapleford Shannon Stapleford Jeff Steckler Rick Stevenson Mike Stewart Jeme Stinchcomb Melanie Straw Wendy Street Doreen Swane Keith Swinney Brenda Sylvia dim Tait Metin Tanner Ashley Taylor Barry Thomas Bill Thomas Charlie Thomas Cindy Thomas Lydia Thomas Ruse Thomasson Tina Thomasson John Todd Sossi Topjian Bobby Tuck Carolyn Turpin Jay Vance Jerry Vaughn Barbara Vazquez dim Walker Lynn Walker Randy Walker Shelley Walker Sandy Wall Susan Wallerstein Mary Wambersie Carrie Warren Dottie Waters Sharon Waters Suzanne Webb Debbie Wegner Paige Weinberg Jo Weller Carl Wentzel Gena White Joan White Kendall White Tena White Thomas White Russ Whitehead Stuart Wilbourne Natalie Wilkins Clare Woodley Bruce Woodson Andy Woolwine Brian Workman Debbie Woy Andrew Wren Rodney Wright Kim Zacha 4 Term paper blues.

Obscure as it may sound, it’s beer can collecting. A number of Freemanites have become involved with this intriguing hobby. Seniors Howard Aposhyan, Mike Borzelleca, Bobby Harris, Mack Tabb, and Jack Whitehead, as well as Junior John Todd and Sophomore Jean Via collect beer cans. This pastime is relatively new and it involves compiling beer cans of assorted brands, variations, and ages. Collectors look for variety in shape of the can, the material of which the can is made, and the can design. Cans may be shaped in simple cylinders, conetops, or even miniature keg shapes. Cans may be made of aluminum, steel, an alloy, or a combination of metals. The can Another Man's Treasure 224 Sophomores Man's Trash... designs are practically limitless and make each can unique; some have cartoons, some portray beautiful women, some have catchy slogans, and some have brilliant artistic design. Stores, ditches, and junkyards across the nation attract collectors because of their wealth of different beer cans. Whereas most beer can collectors gather their private treasury of cans for display purposes, Jean Via and her sister compiled about 150 cans of one type and constructed a table with them. Beer can collectors collect their cans mostly for fun and display, as the cans have little retail value. Their value is strictly aesthetic, for all the cans displayed are empty.

Yet it entitles you to a lot. No longer do you have to shiver at the bus stop because the driver waits until it’s -20 degrees to be late. No longer do you have to double date just so you'll have a ride. No longer do you have to rely on Mom to take you shopping. Now you are a free spirit, and all because you posses your own driver’s license. Remember learning to drive? Remember the first time your father let you drive? Remember the anxiety of moving out onto the road for the first time? Remember the classroom driving instruction? Remember the reminders to “identify, predict, decide, act?” And remember the simulator? You must have had at least a hundred simulated accidents. How about the range? Remember all the cones you bashed, purposely or otherwise? By the time you took “on the road” you thought you were pretty good. But you were surprised a few times and learned a lot. Finally, do you remember DMV? Four and a half months of training and all you have to do is drive around the block to pass your test. Then you received your passing grade. It’s just a little card, but it sure carries clout.

A new dino fashion trend appealed to many students, who added a flash to the usual variety of Rebel clothing. Another movie affected the clothing picture. It was ANNIE HALL and one of its stars, Diane Keaton, moved girls to wear vests, pleated pants, and ties. Tailored looks for girls also included blazers, stickpins, and boots. Making another appearance in the year’s fashions were clogs, kilts, and blouses. Hooded sweatshirts and jeans 228 Sophomores were uniform for easy days. The prep look was barely changed and included brilliant colored crew-neck sweaters, khaki slacks, and button-down collar shirts. Outerwear ranged from down-filled vests to the ever-present Army fatigue jacket. Shoes included Maine duck- hunting boots, track shoes, platforms, espadrilles, Dexters, and wallabees. The varieties in clothing were so numerous that any Rebel could find a style that was comfortable. Though many students were nondescript in their clothing, the students who destroyed day to day monotony were those who showed creativity in their style of dress.

He is at a Jone Rhode very awkward age, one in which he is Deve inde ready, willing, but alas unable. He would Re Riche ie like to go to that wild party on Friday, but he must find a ride with some upperclassman in order to go. He would like to drive, but he doesn’t have a license to do so. Besides, there is no way in the world his parents would let him Brice Rilee tannil H Id lik Stephen Riley use the family car. He would like to go Anni Risen to Poor Boys or Broad Street Station for Tricia Roberts some night club entertainment. Of course, this is totally out the question until he can pass for or prove that he is 18. He would really like to go out with that cute unattached Sophomoress, but Bere Rabercan the car situation limits him to double Daicnonncan dates and his 11:30 curfew is a noose rites Boss around the neck of his social life. But pial Oper somehow, this sophomore persists and on most weekends he escapes his bind. He begs rides, hitchikes, or walks to get to his destinations. He becomes fast friends with those fortunate enough to Ronald Rose have access to cars. He learns not only Stuart Rosen i Jonathan Rosser to tolerate but to enjoy double dates. DonraiBoudabicn And he finds Pizza Hut or Regency Square sufficient entertainment. He learns how to manipulate his parents into granting him automobile rights and or extending his curfew. Though each weekend presents new challenges to his prowess at escaping the social blahs, he will manage to break loose and have fun. Besides, next year will ease many of the problems and out will blossom a socially active junior. 230 Sophomores Deborah Rowley John Sadler Greg Sale David Sampson Michele Sancilio Martha Sandidge Cheryl Saunders Caroline Scales James Schaefer Geoffrey Schafer Beth Scherr Gordon Schiff Suzie Scott Teresa Sears Michael Seebo Mark Sellers Patricia Selph Seymour Shait Allison Sharpe Steve Shoupp Sheryl Silverstein Steven Silverman Barry Simon Dovyn Sims Susan Sions Ozawa S kipper Susan Sledge Phillip Slomaker Deborah Smalley Karen Smith Marion Smith Olivia Smith Stephen Smith Susan Smith Betty Snapp Natalie Sokol Lena Spears Beth Spencer David Spiro i 7 ‘A � John Squires | ome, Nancy Stanford Ricky Stanley Kathy Stansell Beth Stansfield Harvey Stebbins Timothy Steele Dale Sternheimer David Sterret House call.

Dwight Eisenhower was President. The West End of Henrico County was largely farmland and woods with a small but growing population. And on September 9, 1954, Douglas Freeman High School opened its doors. The school was supposed to be called Henrico High School but the popular local historian Douglas Southall Freeman died shortly before construction began, and the school was named in honor of him. The first students, sixth grade through eleventh grade, were transfers from Hermitage. There was no senior class that first year. In the 23 years since the school opened, Freeman has changed, grown, and progressed to its present form. The main parking lot used to be in front of school, with auxiliary parking along the bus dock. Now, parking is in the spacious lot beside Camden Road, with 232 Sophomores limited auxiliary parking in front of the school. Five buses were once sufficient for the transport of the students; now, about twenty are required. The new baseball field, the tennis courts, Camden Road, and the driving range were all once part of two private house lots not too long ago. Additions have been made to the school building including the Annex, “green acres?” the main gymnasium, and part of the library. The body and soul of DSF has not remained unchanged through time, either. Student enrollment has increased from 1026 in 1954 (including the elementary and junior high classes) to around 2000 in 1978. The number of graduating seniors has increased from 71 in 1956 to 270 in 1958 to 485 in 1978. Rules have changed, including the discontinuation of the “Saturday school” punishment and the smoking permits. Styles have changed countless times from saddle shoes and bobby socks to panty hose and Espadrilles, from crew cuts and grease to the styled look and the “dry look.” Hangouts have changed, too. For the first decade of DSF, Rebels mainly frequented Bill’s Barbecue on Broad Street. Pizza Hut and Poor Boys have long since replaced Bill’s. Freeman has its own “Welcome Back, Kotter” in the form of Coach Bill Powers. Billy Powers attended Freeman from 1954 to 1958 and has since returned to DSF as a faculty member. Even now Douglas Freeman High School is undergoing change, both inside and out. Just think, in thirty years one can look back on high school and remember when gas was only 60¢ a gallon and Jimmy Carter was President. 7. ae e ; 44 Views from the past show Freeman in its younger days, including student hangouts, parking and bus facilities, contemporary styles, and the developing community.

A eZ 2 OAM a : os ee eats es 234 Freshmen Our day of arrival was no less than unforgettable. An annoying case of the jitters accompanied every one of us as we made our way through the strange halls and accidentally found our designated homerooms. Schedules were handed out; lockers were assigned and combinations memorized; and before we knew it, our year as freshmen had truly begun. It took approximately ten minutes for us to realize that as freshmen we came very close to being totally ignored by those who called themselves “upperclassmen.” We fought for our rights, especially at Pep Rallies, but to no avail. Most of us sat on the floor, but a brave few found hiding places high in the bleachers. From these elevated perches we watched in amazement as the rest of the student body shouted its lungs out during class competitions. Needless to say, we had much to learn. But there were advantages in being freshmen. After all, think of the head start we had on those freshmen still in neighboring middle schools. Even though they participated with us in sporting events and cheerleading, we were the true “Baby Rebs.” So you see, it really was a rewarding experience being a little old freshman at DSF. Not easy ... but rewarding.

Unfamiliar halls and classrooms turned into regular meeting places as new friends were made and activities got under way. In preparation for an eventful year, the class held an election of officers late in September. Shannon Berry became the third female elected president in the short history of the Freshman class. Assisting Shannon in her duties as president were Leigh Hatton, vice- president; Lynne Bishop, secretary; Andrew Elmore, treasurer, and Tommy Barham, honor council representative. An increase in the class number added to the responsibilities of the inexperienced officers, as freshman enrollment grew to 268 students. Although lack of time prevented the construction of a float, Lynne Bishop represented her class as freshman princess in the Homecoming Parade in October. The class undertook no large projects, but rather dedicated itself to unity and school involvement in preparation for its future years at DSF.

Keen sensitivity, devout determination, and sharp intelligence were responsible for Rodney’s success in his studies, as the freshman felt that his classes were more difficult here than they had been at Byrd Middle School. “Also,” Rodney commented, “here, teachers expect a lot more from their students.” Rodney enjoyed Freeman immensely, and particularly liked pep rallies “ because of the excitement.” He participated in both the Chess Club and the Spanish Club and helped to build the Spanish Club’s homecoming float. Academically, Rodney preferred science and spanish above his other subjects. Presently, Rodney, along with a number of other students, is extremely excited about an upcoming trip to Europe. The group, scheduled to leave on June 27, will visit England, Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland during their twenty-eight day adventure. Miss Nancy Lee, who works with the Commission For the Blind, has been Rodney’s sighted guide and will accompany him on the tour, which was arranged by the American Leadership Study Group. As Kodney’s guide, Miss Lee brailed all necessary materials for Rodney's teachers throughout the year, SSIW SIQUIO SOUIUL S225 2H then transcribed Rodney’s typed material back into its respective subject matter. In this way, Rodney had no trouble keeping up with his classmates. Adjusting to a new school and a new schedule was a difficult step for Rodney, but because of his perserverance and cheerful attitude he was readily accepted and extremely well-liked. While others could see the prevailing spirit and pride around them, Rodney could sense it, and because his senses were so clear, he was able to make positive judgements and form personal opinions of his classmates and acquaintances. In no time at all, Rodney had become a true Rebel, and he loved it! Freshmen 239 Chances are that most of us visited our neighborhood pool dozens of times last summer yet never in those three months swam a complete lap. Although many people take it for granted, swimming is a serious sport. Becoming really good at it takes hard work, dedication, and hours upon hours of grueling practice. Most of us would think twice before making such a sacrifice, but for members of the Richmond Metro Aquatic Club, swimming was a way of life. As members of RMAC, senior Jamie Stevenson, juniors Steve Cohen, Kim Lacy, Mark Monticelli, and Andy Wren, and freshmen Matt Wren and Albert Maiolino spent two hours a day practicing at the Berkeley Club in Chesterfield County, preparing for meets and vying for national ranks. All started swimming seriously at an early age, and continued dedication was apparent in their success. For Matt, this dedication resulted in a third-place national ranking in fifty-yard fly, while his older brother Andy clinched another third-place national ranking, in 400-yard individual medley. Both boys are outstanding swimmers, yet they admitted their competition was tough, especially in the U.S., which boasts the fastest men’s swim team in the world. Freshman Albert Maiolino agreed. As a native Argentinian, Albert started swimming four years ago, while still living in Argentina. Albert’s main goal is to make nationals in the U.S., where he feels both practice and competition are much tougher than in Argentina. The future holds exciting goals for any serious athlete, especially for the promising members of RMAC.

Winter clothes were pushed aside for sundresses, Dr. Scholls, and shortsleeved shirts; bathing suits were hesitantly pulled out from the bottom drawer in anticipation of warm weather. Rebels turned their attention towards baseball, tennis, the park, and the beach! After struggling all winter with term papers and history reports, students were ready to lean back and relax. Homework didn’t get done and lazy became a way of life. “Something” had touched each student and reawakened him after a long, dreary winter — something fresh and invigorating. Spring!

Rebels frequently visited Westbury or were seen eating Burger Chef hamburgers for lunch. Car washes, sponsored by the SCA or different classes, benefited the public and served as enjoyable projects to raise money. The Virginia Museum and area hospitals attracted those who now had free time to devote to volunteer work. Freemanites began to step out into a world reawakened by spring and were eager to share their enthusiasm with others. Tin pan alley.

This special enthusiasm—this elation with which individual students worked c and played and met challenges, was only a portion of the aura of Freeman. The spirit was evident throughout the year, and each person, whether he was a senior bound for college or a job or an underclassman who would return next year, carried the spirit with him and passed it to all whom he met. The sen- sation of pride and accomplishment continued and grew to become something unique and meaningful. It was something hard to define, but it was : there. It was “something in the air.” a eerie Ph tain : wee oem a St Hay 256 Closing Up, up, and away!
