Whether he was a confused freshman or a “Joe-Cool” senior each student at Freeman noticed the undercurrent of excitement. Twenty-five years of existence had become twenty-five years of day-to-day. achievements. Achievements cemented together by continuing traditions. New students became aware of the traditions when they attended the first- day assembly and heard each class spelled out or the chant “Sophomores on the floor’ Academic traditions like the discussions of the World Lit Class or the Jeopardy games of the Drama class sometimes went unnoticed. Athletic traditions included Friday night football games and the girl’s tennis team. Meetings in the auditorium and the gatherings of the FMFC made up a part of social traditions that had developed over the years. Little unnoticed traditions were a part of every Rebel’s life, making up the whole reason for celebration: the traditions and values of the student body over 25 years. on Parade.

But Rebels worked to make the 1978-79 school year different from and better than other years. Old traditions were revived as seniors cleaned up the Senior Courtyard and the Interclub Council planned the Homecoming Dance. Sophomores ended a long held tradition by taking over a section of bleachers during pep rallies and vacating the floor. Rebels changed and added to the traditions to have this silver year remembered as more than a number, more than Freeman’s twenty-fifth anniversary. It was the start of twenty-five new years of celebration. Opening .. Student Life Academics SPOS = ae Organizations Students .. Index . . Closing 4 Opening Rt Nc Shoot!

Senior year rushed by in a blur of term papers, projects, parties, and extra-curricular activities, while Rebels searched for time to relax. Doubling up and making a poster during “Leave It to Beaver” or studying for a Trig test during dinner often helped to reserve time for relaxing. Working Rebels sometimes had to sacrifice their spare time to fulfill their academic responsibilities. Despite the shortage of time, Rebels found chances to take part in service clubs or sororities, work on Stunt-Talent Night or a play, or stop by Westbury for a coke and a short rest at the counter. Rebels’ “golden days in the silver year” passed all too quickly, leaving good memories and lasting experiences. SlGDENT DIRE Bubbling.

Junior Martha Sandige and sophomores Greg Nowling and David Gibson hurry to homeroom during the first week of school. On the first day of school, the high temperature and humidity made everyone wish that the summer vacation hadn’t ended so soon. In the unairconditioned rooms, students longed to be back in the swimming pools or at the beach. However, most were glad to see friends that they hadn’t seen during the summer. With maps and schedules clutched in hand, the new Freshmen and Sophomores ventured through the halls and attempted to find their classes. Senior SCA Big Brothers and Sisters and hall guides helped direct them throughout the school. At the orientation several days earlier, the new students had gathered in the auditorium. Mr. Anthony had informed them of the rules and regulations governing the school. The SCA officers had related the importance of getting involved in school activities as sports, music, service clubs, and other organizations. Later, the Big Brothers and Sisters stood and gathered their homerooms by making animal sounds. New students making their designated sounds wandered around the auditorium until they found the seniors who were making the same sound. After the homerooms had been collected, the hall guides had took them on tours of the school and then to a reception in the cafeteria. After having attended the orientation, the new Rebels had a fair sense of direction on the first day of school. Even after their first day they had feelings of acceptance by the other students and anticipation of the exciting years to come. Handy helpers. During a morning visit in their sophomore homeroom, seniors Mark Grubbs and Becky Schaffer discuss pep rally activities with the new rebels. 8 First Day And Orientation , Stage Fright Official business.

Sophomore Molly Shields relaxes at her local pool on a hot day in August. What were the sounds of summer? For some they were the swishing of the waves breaking at Virginia Beach. For others they were the plopping of the tennis ball hitting the racket or the clicking of the reel of a fishing rod. All of the Rebels heard different sounds of summer during their vacation. For some summer meant three months of sleeping late, part-time jobs ranging from sales clerks to camp counselors, or attending summer school. Many found enjoyment in swimming, surfing, tennis, golf, camping, and jogging. At times students found relaxation in just basking in the sun. A group of about twenty-five Rebels ventured to New York with Young Life to Camp Saranac. During the week they were there they had a square dance, a disco dance, and a costume dinner. There was also hiking, water skiing, boating, and volleyball. However, the most popular event for the campers was parasailing. Another group of fortunate students traveled to Europe with Mr. Ken Moore or Miss Betty Cohen. There they visited London, Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva, Florence, and Rome. The fifteen day trip was a valuable learning experience that they will never forget. The sounds of summer varied from person to person. Whether the sounds were the honk of taxis in New York or the tolling of a church bell in Rome, the splash of playful swimmers at the pool or the whack of a driver off the tee out at a golf course, they were all exciting.

At the Lee Davis pep rally, sophomores assemble to give their support to the football team. Pep rally... ? What does it mean? A dictionary might define it as an assembly of people who gather to generate enthusiasm and support before an athletic event. To really understand the meaning, however, one should have witnessed a Rebel pep rally during the 1978-1979 year. The shouts and cheers grew louder as the students assembled in the main gym for the Friday pep rallies. The cheerleaders led the students in cheers and entertained the crowd with skits about the teams and their opponents. The majorettes and color guard performed their routines as the band played. The marching band attended the pep rallies during football season as the pep band did during basketball season. Each class displayed its spirit, during the class competition for the spirit stick. Each was distinguished by the matching outfits, such as striped shirts and jeans, worn by the students in that class. Members of the senior class broke the habit and wore togas to the pep rally one week. During each pep rally, a member of each of the teams gave team talks and the cheerleaders announced the scores of the previous games. At the end of each rally, the students and faculty left the gym with the tune of “Dixie” ringing in their ears, and were-ready to triumph over the opposing team. Toga Time.

Pep Rallies 13 Autumn was a time of raking leaves, getting out the warm clothes, giving out candy on Halloween, and getting settled in the daily routine of school. For the athletes, autumn meant the football season, girls’ basketball, cross country and girls’ tennis. For the students with part time jobs work was hectic because of the holidays. Leisure time was spent catching up on books and movies, writing that week late report, wishing for summer, and waiting for snow. About 50 students from DSF attended a Young Life weekend on the Skyline Drive. They spent their time climbing mountains and playing frisbee golf. Some went to the VHSL convention in Charlottesville. Mrs. Pilkinton’s Honors English and Humanities classes went to the Virginia Museum to see “Volpone”. Many helped with the Homecoming Dance; few were not busy working on some kind of fall project. 14 Fall Recreation All washed up.

Busy But Fun Fall Recreation 15 They stood in a semi-circle, teeth clenched, fingers crossed, and hearts beating furiously. The winner was announced. A shreik, cried from the field, was drowned in the yelling and clapping of an excited audience. A sudden hush fell over the stadium. Once more there was tenseness and anticipation. Then the second name was called out and bedlam broke loose again. The new Homecoming Queen, Ginger Helfin, and her Maid of Honor, Sarah Adams, circled around the track for a final ride, waving and laughing with the viewers. The floats, which had faithfully been worked on each night for the past month, despite piles of homework, paraded through the stadium during the pre-game activities. The Senior class float portraying a Sesame Street scene with the theme, “That’s the way the cookie crumbles,” won the first prize. The juniors’ “Space the Cadets” float, and the sophomores dinosaur float captured second and third place. To add to the excitement of the evening, the Homecoming game against Benedictine brought a big win. The thrill of Homecoming was not over yet. Early the next morning, sleepy students got ready to go to school. Not for classes, of course, but to decorate the gym for the Homecoming dance, the theme of which was “Golden Days and Silver Years.” The dance was handled somewhat differently than it has been in past years. For the first time, the ICC sponsored it and many clubs were involved in its production. The clubs sold tickets before school and during both lunches. Key Club alone sold over sixty sets of tickets. Rebelettes I and II and Interact were in charge of decorations. In keeping with the theme, they used the idea of fads from the last twenty-five years. Elvis, Frampton, King Kong, Pink Panther, and graffiti posters lined the walls. Many students remembered the Homecoming dances of the past that never got off the ground, which prevented them from immediately buying tickets. The publicity didn’t fully start until the week of the dance. Although the Publicity Committee got off to a slow start, they made up for it with catchy slogans and posters. “I Know” buttons were passed around until almost everyone in the school wore one.

Excitement grew among students as the first snow appeared and continued to fall until there was quite an accumulation. After weeks of freezing temperatures, the lakes and ponds were ready for skaters. Attics were soon raided for sleds, ice skates, hockey sticks, and snow shovels. Schools, businesses, and stores were closed during much of the bad weather. Though cars were snowed into driveways, and driving was hazardous, students still took advantage of their days at home. Neighborhood roads and hills and the country clubs became popular areas for the owners of sleds. Ice skating and ice hockey lovers joined those who were just learning on the Canterbury, Westmoor, and Raintree ponds and the lakes at the University of Richmond. After a while, most students and teachers grew tired of the snow and ice. They realized that each day taken was from the spring vacation or added onto the end of the year. Many students found excitement at Take off. Senior Dana Neal enjoys one of the many snow days while sledding at Byrd Middle School. esa: i the ski resorts during the weekends. Even when Richmond did not have snow, the nearby mountainous areas did. Much of the snow covering the slopes, though, was man-made. W hen Rebels were not out on the ice or on the snow, they found other Ways to enjoy themselves. Many frequented the movie theatres, while some even visited the bowling alleys and skating rinks. Indoor basketball, tennis, gymnastics, and dancing were also popular. Devoted joggers even ventured out into the cold for their daily exercise. Winter Recreation 19 Rebel Romance Happy together.

Parties were an inexpensive place to take a date while others went stag and socialized with their friends. Movies were frequented by Freeman couples and Animal House seemed to be the favorite during the fall season. Football and basketball games also provided exciting entertainment while on the other hand, there were many concerts such as Pablo Cruz, Doobie Brothers, and Billy Joel which Rebels enjoyed. For the students who enjoyed dancing, there was a Homecoming dance, sorority dances, and of course the Junior and Senior Proms. Also the “What’s Up” disco was open on Sundays for minors. Many times the weather dominated what Rebels did for recreation. The beach provided an escape for a week- end during hot weather at the beginning and end of the school year. Warm but comfortable temperatures took many students to the park on Sunday afternoons. Frozen ponds proved to be a popular spot to skate and socialize. The year ended with many new friends and good memories. a quiet Jimmy I Dating and Socializing 21 22 Concerts The singer.

On January 27 at the coliseum, Boston played before a sell-out audience. Several years ago at the beginning of the seventies, concerts at the Mosque, Coliseum, and The William and Mary Hall had to be cancelled time after time due to lack of interest. This has greatly changed over the years. Names such as Harry Chapin, Pablo Cruise, the Commodores, Billy Joel, and Boston have appeared here and in the surrounding area. A popular group among Freeman students seemed to be Pablo Cruise, who appeared at The University of Richmond Robins Center. Although it was far away, most students agreed that some of the best concerts were held at William and Mary Hall in Williamsburg. Since it was over an hour’s d rive, several students formed groups and went in one Car. With ticket prices ranging anywhere from six to ten dollars, some people were not able to go to the concerts due to a lack of money. As a result, most students had to work longer hours at their after-school jobs. Most agreed, after going to a concert, it was well worth the effort. Concerts 23 The junior class brought back childhood memories when it presented Stunt Talent Night with the theme of Walt Disney’s Jungle Book. Lions and tigers and bears along with monkeys, panthers, and killer bees filled the stage between the various acts. Auditions for the talent show were held during the last week in January. A panel of judges selected the acts for their originality and talent. The show was presented on March 8, 9, and 10, after months of planning and organizing. The entertainment was provided by the varsity cheerleaders, Rebelettes 3 and 4, Interact, Key Club, several bands, individual acts, and musical performers. The Jungle Book characters provoked much laughter throughout the show as they presented scenes from their version of the story. The directors, Doug Walker and David Wu, worked with the entertainers and the backstage crew to make the show a success. The crew consisted of juniors, who moved props and those who worked on the makeup, costume, and set design and construction O committees. The many weeks of preparation and rehearsal proved worthwhile when the Well Don e performances were given.

Seniors David Hirschi and Kacy Pollard portray a rich couple in The Playroom. Did you ever want to be a famous actor or actress but didn’t know where to begin? Believe it or not, Rebels had an excellent opportunity to find their talents in the field of acting! This opportunity was offered through the drama classes. The drama students were taught the skills and techniques of acting. Throughout the year they studied the theatre and various plays and playwrights. Each six weeks meant new projects in the form of skits and pantomimes. As senior Jody Newman commented, “Many people consider drama an easy class. If time is devoted, improvement is inevitable. Most of all, one gets to know his own acting ability.” For two nights in November, the auditorium was filled with students, teachers, parents, and friends enjoying the dramatic talent in The Playroom. The setting was a dual one, for the stage served as an attic playroom and a living room simultaneously. The action took place in New York during the 1960’s. Five spoiled teenagers, Theresa Raynor, Angel Pate, David Scoven, Mark Atkinson, and Tom Neblett kidnapped Melanie Straw in rebellion against her parents, Kacy Pollard and David Hirschi. Though they attempted to drug their captive, the teenagers were stopped by the police at the end of the play. Express Thyself 26 Plays Moment of enlightenment.

Another one of those four letter words. Well then, why work? For most Rebels the reason why was the lack of money. Most allowances didn’t allow for much spending money. Also many students were saving for college. Although most students had jobs as cashiers and salespersons, there was a wide range of jobs for Freemanites. From delivering papers to cleaning kennels to pumping gas, salaries usually ranged from $2.65 to $3.00 an hour for up to thirty-five hours of work. Lisa Gee, a junior, commented about her job at Up Against The Wall. “It interferes with dating alot.” Most workers agreed that their jobs interfered with social life and school work. The money helped make up for the disadvantages though. The wallets were no longer empty, the bank accounts grew, and there was more money spent for oneself. Fill it up.

Junior Charlie Roest shows off the chain of aluminum can pop-tops he began } aga collecting when he worked at Camp Brady oe Ever since first grade, senior Melissa Norris had been showing talent for art. She didn’t really get started until her junior year at Collegiate when she took an art class. During her senior year here she added that she would devote her life to being an artist. Melissa loved antique furniture and art, but her main interest was in modern art because of the clean lines, sharp contrast, and mood. After taking morning classes at Freeman, she then went to VCU for a design class which she said really strengthened her style. Her main area of work was with pen and ink, pencil portraits from photographs, and acrylics. Melissa added, “I enjoy the artwork I do because people enjoy it.” Another student, Charlie Roest, had a little more unusual hobby. He collected the pop-tops from aluminum cans to form a chain. After an article about his hobby was published in “The Young Virginians” section of “The Richmond News Leader,” Charlie Saunders. received several calls from people who wished to donate pop-tops for his chain. He first got “hooked” while working at Camp Brady Saunders in Goochland. Charles explained “Our camp had pop- top contests each week. The staff would emphasize picking up tops for the contest. This helped clean up the camp.” The length of the chain exceeded 555 feet which was equal to the height of the Washington Monument. On the other hand, junior Mike Seebo’s hobby was scuba diving. He first became interested in it because he “liked the ocean, sea life, fish, and being on the water.” Mike had taken courses in basic and advanced scuba at the University of Richmond and at The Berkley Club and plans to take a class this summer at an institute in Florida. Mike has scuba dived in quarries to the Bahamas, but with the cost of equipment, it has to be a total commitment. Hobbies 31 What did Freeman students do in their spare time? (Besides going to parties, of course). Well, they spent it in a variety of ways. Juniors Ken Woods and Beth Frye began preparing for Studio 54 by taking disco lessons. The classes were sponsored by the Henrico County Recreation Department. Beth had taken classes at Longam Elementary on Wednesday afternoons and at Bethlehem Elementary on Tuesday nights. The cost for five lessons was $15.00, but the price went up in January. Beth and Ken also took a third level class given at Bethlehem Elementary for $20.00. Some of the dances they learned were the samba, rumba, and the Latin and New York hustles. After completing the five lessons in disco, instructor Gwen Glenn gave a party for her students at Fielden’s, a local private disco. Another hobby, which was not only entertaining and satisfying, but good preparation for those desiring to enter the Medical Field, was becoming a bonnie at St. Mary’s hospital. The girls were called Bonnies because they were Junior volunteers of the Sisters of the Bon Secour. There were about 35 active Bonnies who worked on Saturdays and Sundays during the school year. Their duties included admitting and discharging patients, delivering mail and flowers, and turning on the television sets for the patients. At Halloween, the girls threw a party for the children in the pediatrics ward, and at Christmas sang carols throughout the hospital. In April, there was an awards ceremony where awards were given to the girls for 25, 100, 300, 500, 1000, and 2000 hours of service. Several students also participated in their church youth groups. Most of the youth groups met on Sunday nights for a dinner followed by a program. Some activities included skiing trips, movies, or hay rides, but there were also some more serious activities. Members of the Trinity United Methodist youth group held a rock-a-thon in which they raised a certain amount of money for each hour they rocked in a rocking chair. The youth group at All Saints Episcopal Church held a similar fund raiser by going without food for 30 hours and receiving money for each hour they did so. The money went to the CROP organization for world hunger. Most teen-agers attended their youth groups because it’s “a good way to meet people and help your church, yourself, and your community.” 32 Community Affairs Volunteer Fever Youth Guild t the life-like wax Helping hands.

Seniors watch as Mike Smith accepts his diploma from the principal, Mr. Richard Anthony. Excitement filled the air as the Seniors gathered on graduation day. Expressions varied among smiles, tears, relief, and anticipation. The awaited day had finally arrived. Caps and gowns had been received and invitations had been sent to close friends, family, and other relatives. Final preparations for the night’s ceremony were made. The excitement had begun with the Senior’s last exams. The Baccalaureate service had brought the importance of the event to mind. Bad weather moved the exercises to a packed gym. Despite the rain, heat, and crowded conditions, the Seniors’ spirit was not depressed. President Nelson Ould delivered the welcoming address and Dave Dallas and Mike Halvachs gave the commencement addresses. The Concert Choir sang “Take Me Along,” composed and directed by Mr. Deen Entsminger in dedication to the Senior class. At the close of the ceremony, each of the graduates, with diploma in hand, felt a sense of accomplishment. Whether a view of the future included college, a job, or something else, it brought new ways, new friends, and new goals. Graduation was an end to a beginning but also a beginning of a new and exciting life. The Last Moments.

Graduation 35 36 Academics NER = nee 35 Twenty-five years meant different things to different people. To the school as a whole it meant a quarter century of continuing traditions. To the students in the twenty-fifth year it meant a reason for celebration. To the teachers who had been at Freeman since its opening, it meant thousands of students, some fondly remembered, most just a blur of faces. The building, revised and added to over the years, had seen increasing amounts of students enrolled each year. Through the twenty-five years the curriculum offered had been through a hundred additions and revisions, like the addition of a World Lit class in 1970 and co-ed gym classes in 1977. Some classes like Bible Lit and Drama II had to be dropped because of a lack of interest. But each year, despite the new addition or the end of an old class, traditions remained in the curriculum. One could still hear the fervent discussions in the World Lit class, the sound of French Christmas carols in the annex, or the buzzing of drills from a ACADEMICS woodworking class. Though the school had gone through many changes inwardly as well as physically since 1953, it was still recognizable — we still had the same rivals — we were still the same old Rebels. Baby Talk.

While art proved to be a fairly popular elective among Freeman students, no miracles could be promised. Clay, sculpture, pen and ink, pencil, and plaster were just some of the areas that the art students worked in. A combination of patience, imagination, and self-expression resulted in several “masterpieces” from students. Though most students only took Art I and Il, many decided to continue on to higher levels such as creative crafts, painting, sculpture, drawing, and jewelry for concentrated areas of study. Contrary to popular belief, already being an artist was not a requirement to take art. Students learned how to develop their talents through various art techniques. Finally, after completing his art course, an ordinary Rebel had been molded into an original, creative, and talented artist. A questioning glance.

Dear Sirs: I am currently a student at Douglas Southall Freeman High School, in which the major portion of my curriculum is business classes. The courses which I will successfully have completed by June are Advanced and Clerical typing, Marketing II, Fashion Merchandising, and Stenography. I am interested in applying for a business position with your company. Let me tell you a bit about these courses to see if I fit your need. The first business class that I took was personal typing in which I learned the fundamentals. As I continue on through the advanced class, I developed my skills and furthered my knowledge. In clerk typing, which is a two-period course, we studied how to use assorted office machines, as well as the basics of Accounting. Those of us who had previously taken typing, took part in practice sets each day. These gave me working experience, as I had assignments to carry out for an imaginary company. | learned to use a duplicating machine, an adding machine, and a dictaphone as well. While the typing classes were largely secretarial, studies in Marketing II management was stressed. We operated the school book store, The Dixie Peddler, under the supervision of the teacher, Miss Judy Slough. As publicity was a part of the training, posters were drawn up to advertise the discounts available. In a course somewhat similar to Marketing, Fashion Merchandising, | learned how to manage a retail business. In order to do this, I had to first do an in-depth study of fabrics. It was as necessary to know what goes into a garment and why a particular garment is in demand, as it was to be readily aware of past fashions. In Clerk Typing as well as in Stenography, I learned how to operate office machines; however, Accounting was reviewed in Clerk Typing. Shorthand was a major part of my Stenography course. I found Stenography to be extremely beneficial to me as I was able to visit an office and study the manner in which it was set up. This would enable me to manage an office efficiently and successfully. As you can see my education is not lacking. I feel that I am qualified to assist you after taking these business courses. Please consider me for the position of secretary. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Business 41 Mr. Ken Barbour Math 9; Geometry; Algebra I; Cross Country; Indoor, Outdoor Track.

This famous Boy Scout motto became the main goal of the Math Department. Their courses are designed to prepare students for college and employment. Although only one year of mathematics was required to graduate from high school, many students opted to take more because most colleges required at least three years. The regular math courses such as Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry Math Analysis prepared the student for the more advanced courses of college. This knowledge was a must for those interested in the math, science, and medical fields. There were also specialized courses designed to help Rebels prepare for the future, Consumer Math dealt with the mathematics often used to run a business. Computer Math taught the basic language of computers which is very valuable in today’s computer age. Although math is considered boring and tedious by some and fascinating by others, the experience and knowledge of it provided a good background for most students. ’ “ ee a 4.

These electives provided students with the opportunity to discover themselves as well as others. Self-knowledge and self-appreciation grew from the psychology classes taught by Mr. Cover. Intrigue developed as people began searching their identities and understanding other’s problems, whether the problems were normal or abnormal. The students gained knowledge that would be helpful in their futures. Sociology, also, provided an interesting class which dealt with man’s environments and ways of life. Taught by Mr. McNally, the pupils discovered a relationship between human behavior and society. The students gained a greater appreciation for their own way of life through their study of other people and other life styles. As a class in modern history, Mr. McNally’s Twentieth Century history class helped unite the past with the present. Students were able to understand the events happening from World War I to the occurrences of today. Through the Humanities class, taught by Miss Pilkinton, students received culture that would be beneficial to them for the years to come. Students developed an eye for the fine arts and an appreciation of ancient philosophies. By the reading of philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, the pupils were able to link ideas of today to those of ancient Greece and Rome. es are brought rpe for her - Social Studies 45 Freak out.

The finer arts of karate are demonstrated by freshman Van Meredith for his World History class. “Readin’, writin’, and ’rithmetic,” but what about social studies? We’ve had to study it ever since elementary school, but there always seemed to be something new to learn. In high school, we were always required to take four units of social studies: World History and Geography, Virginia and United States History, Government, and an elective. World History and Geography I taught us about Europe and its individual countries. It also involved learning about the cultural, social, and political backgrounds of those countries. In addition to reading the book, we saw movies and filmstrips which helped make it even more interesting. After completing World History and Geography I, we either took World History and Geography II or another elective such as psychology, twentieth century history, or sociology. Most people chose to take World History and Geography II. In this, we studied Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and South America, with the studies revolving around the customs, religions, climate, and geography of those countries. Next came Virginia and United States History. This centered on the development of America from its discovery through the present. Color was added to the class by including scandals, assassinations, and wars. Finally, our last year of social studies, Government. We looked at governments of this country and several other countries. Both local and state governments were studied. Not only did it include democratic governments, but also socialist and communist governments as well. Once we had finished all four years of social studies, we thought that we knew almost everything there was to know. We were wrong, though. When we got to college, they, somehow, figured out a way to teach us even more about social studies. I guess we'll just never know it all. Teasing teacher.

The Ensemble rehearse their part in the Add Some Music to Your Day “Add Some Music To Your Day” was an old song by the Beach Boys, but the school’s bands and choruses attempted to keep the thought alive. Each of the groups provided entertainment throughout the year a t assemblies and concerts. Mr. Hunter Purdie directed the symphonic band which served as the marching band at football games and parades. The group of about one hundred musicians also performed at the band festival where it was graded on its appearance and musical performance. Mr. Purdie also directed the concert band and the stage band and taught a guitar class for beginners. The pep band retained the Rebel spirit at basketball games and pep rallies during the season. Mr. Rex Britton taught a calss for students who played string instruments. Most of these musicians began playing the violin or cello in an elementary school program. There were several chorus groups for those who enjoyed singing and desired to develop their talents. Mr. Deen Entsminger directed the Concert Choir, the Girls’ and Chamber Ensembles, and Downbeats. All of the choral classes had the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with Mr. Wayne Conaway’s chorus classes at a high school in Philadelphia. The students also experienced another special treat in having a student teacher, Gary Archer, from V.C.U. Mr. Archer, a Freeman graduate from 1975, was glad to have had the opportunity to return, although this time it was on the other side. “I considered this to have been the greatest experience of my educational career and that it occurred at Freeman made it all the better. What I liked most were the students. They were a great bunch and I love ’em all.” Music 49 To most Rebels, Hermitage is merely another rival in sport and club activities. But to some Rebels, it is another place to learn and decide on a career. Hermitage is one of the Henrico County Vocational-Technical Centers, and the one which Freeman students attend. The Vo-Tech Center, as it is called, offers a number of occupational and technical career classes for any interested juniors or seniors, and even a couple for sophomores. All classes last for three periods per day, with the other half of the day spent in regular classes at Freeman. All courses (with the exception of one or two) last for two years and offer three credits per year. Offered courses range from cosmetology and horticulture to automotive mechanics and machine shop; from health assistants and practical nursing to business data processing and drafting. After completing many of these courses, students are able to get a job with little or no extra training. Many of the Vo-Tech students say that they go to the center because they are not planning to go to college, but would like to be trained for a career after graduation. “The classes are pretty interesting,’ said one cosmetology student. “You meet a lot of people and learn a lot of new things. By the time I get out of here, I ought to be able to get a job without any extra training.” Cosmetology is one of the few three year courses offered. Between the Hermitage Vo-Tech Center and the Highland Springs Vo-Tech Center there are seventeen different courses offered, with thirteen at Hermitage.

Drafting Career Vo-Tech 51 While every student strived to be different in some ways it was impossible to be totally unique. Everyone had to breathe, eat, and take English. There were some differences, however, as each grade level studied different aspects of literature. The Seniors laughed over, cried over, and stayed awake over Shakespeare’s everpresent Hamlet and Macbeth. They also studied Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, and other modern British authors. The grammar was a review of all that had been learned in the past, with more difficult sentences to diagram and punctuate. While the twelfth grade classes centered on English literature, the eleventh grade was devoted to mastering American literature. They compared the thrilling essays of Emerson and Thoreau, memorized lines by Hawthorne, and to end the year with a bang, studied Washington Irving. They also learned the proper form for writing a business letter, which facilitated correspondence with colleges. The sophomore year was not concerned with any specific country’s literature, but dealt with a sampling of many. “Et tu, Brute?” was heard throughout classes as students frantically tried to memorize lines from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. A great deal of writing was done, as the underclassman concentrated on both expository and creative writing. This class was also unable to get away from grammar and sentence structure was especially worked on. The freshman year had less reading as only small units of drama, poetry and prose were studied. Freshmen heavily studied both grammar and spelling. Self-expression was also studied, with speeches and oral book reports being very popular. No matter what year a student was, however, he had one thing on his mind—the term paper. Some were wringing their hands in dread of it, some were pulling their hair out because they were bored of it, and still others were smiling with relief since they were saying bye-bye to it. Although only juniors and seniors were required to complete a research paper, the underclassmen started very early worrying about it. There was another thing that each student had in common, regardless of age, besides the taking of an English course. It was the realization that each student had, that they would never wear that long awaited for cap and gown without it. 52 English Mr. Albert Biddle Drama I; Drama Lit.; English Me Miss Margaret Bridges English 11; Commentator Business Staff.

No one seemed to realize just how busy a day in the office could have been, that we all took the work of the secretaries for granted. Mrs. Marion Lucas explained that their jobs included “a little bit of everything, you name it.” Working eight and a half hours a day from 8:00 until 4:30, the seven secretaries kept busy with various jobs such as typing, filing, answering the phones and making announcements. Mrs. Lucas was also responsible for coordinating substitutes, which involved much outside time. The job of the secretaries did not end with the school year, though. During the summer they performed a few small jobs such as typing up work permits, but Mrs. Peggy Burroughs Attendance Office. . Marion Lucas Principal’s secretary. Mrs. Jean Moore Bookkeeper.

In the attendance office, Mrs. Burroughs and Mrs. Perkinson were responsible for signing in tardy students, calling the parents of absent students, and getting the absentee sheet out. The attendance office was opened when a new attendance policy was introduced. The school decided that it would be much easier if new people were hired to call the parents, and so on. This allowed more to be done with more people to do it. Meanwhile, the Florence Nightingale of Douglas Freeman, Mrs. Blackley, was always there to patch up a cut, put ice on a sprain, or take someone’s temperature. While she wasn’t a doctor and, therefore, limited in the amount of medical attention she could have given, she was always able to give a certain amount of first aid. Mrs. Blackley was often very popular on those days when This won't hurt a bit. Mrs. Blackley whips out her bottle of hydrogen peroxide in order to cleanse a gym related injury. everyone seemed to have had a chronic case of “‘testitis.” For those people who had problems they could not handle, either at home or at school, Detecitve Mary Ellen Fahed was there to help. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she was at Freeman to work with students. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, she spent her time working with Tucker students with similar problems. All these people played an important part in running the school. Without the secretaries, no one would have known what was going on around school. Without the attendance office secretaries, how would we have gotten into first period when our alarm didn’t go off? Without Mrs. Blackley, who would have helped us when we hurt ourselves in phys. ed.? Finally, who would have lent a sympathetic ear if Detective Fahed had not been there to listen? What a day!

Concentration shows on the faces of Mr. Anthony and friends as they observe the before school “happenings”. “He was always there when we needed him.” “He was firm but kind.” “His only flaw was that he wouldn’t let us get away with anything.” “You knew he really cared.” “He always had a story to tell.” “I loved his pep talks.” Mr. Richard Anthony, principal, first influenced students’ lives at orientation, _ the introduction to the school and its leaders. Newcomers were welcomed by Mr. Anthony and told that they would be treated like adults if they acted like adults. From then on, his talks at pep rallies roused students’ spirits and drove them cheering to their feet. He inspired the active and the inactive, the academically-inclined, and the _ otherwise-inclined, and the talented and the not-so-talented, as he assured students that Freeman always will be the best school in the state. His duties did not end with keeping student and faculty morale high however as he was responsible for the supervision of the entire school. Aided by Mr. Ray Long, Mr. Bill Long, and Mr. Daryl Farley, Mr. Anthony coordinated the teachers, the students, the custodians, and the administration. He was the final authority at Freeman and a lasting influence on students. The three assistant principals were each in charge of a certain class, among 58 Administration Downtown. Mr. Ray Long stands by the Coliseum during the unveiling of the Richmond Blues Memorial. their other duties. Mr. Farley was the - overseer of the Senior and Freshman classes. He also took charge of selling parking decals and supervising the English and Social Studies departments. Mr. Ray Long kept his eye on the juniors while managing building repair, transportation, and all extra- curricular activities, from plays to pep rallies. While taking charge of the sophomores, Mr. Bill Long coordinated the computer programming aspects of school, such as report cards and schedules. Each principal took a special interest in the school life of his class and noted the students’ attitudes and academic standards. As Mr. Farley put it, “We are very aware of the classes make-up.” Their concern for the school continued ev en after the final bell each day, as they were often seen cheering for a victory, and proudly applauding at productions. The four principals, who maintained respect and order in the school, represented much more than an authoritative leadership to the student body as a whole. “They will really listen.” “T like the way they mingle with us in the halls.” “When I first came here they really made me feel a part of things, at home.” O Mr. Richard Anthony Principal.

Library-Guidance There should be signs placed over the library and guidance department doors stating, “Always Willing to Lenda Helping Hand.” The Guidance Department, with its six members, always gave their best in helping the students make important and valuable decisions this past year. Many students did not realize how helpful the counselors were. They guided students in schedules changes, Class choosing, and PSAT and SAT preparations. They also aided in choosing the college that is right for the individual by going through records and getting the needed information. Although some students did not use the Ei guidance department to its full poten- tial, the attitudes of the students changed and they began to use the department in any way they could. The library also had the best interests of the students in mind. Taking on Mrs. Harrelson, the library staff succeeded in helping students in their studies by offering magazines, filmstrips, newspapers, and every kind of book imaginable. By installing the Tattletape system, the number of stolen books was greatly decreased; therefore, more books were made available to the students. Your best interest is always at hand.

Bobby Neal and Tra e point out a witty line in their Latig McNally. Rome cannot be built in a day, and Latin cannot be learned in a year. Latin, which is often considered to be the most challenging language, was not one of the most popular. During the first two years the noun and the verb systems were studied, while the later years were concered with literature. Alternations in the courses allowed the third-year students to study work derivation and to tackle Caesar, which was previously done a year later. Those in their fourth year branched into the study of traditional Latin and the translation of both Cicero and Ovid, while those in the fifth year translated Aeneid by Virgil. While Latin did not draw a significant number of students, French, on the other hand, was well liked by the students. Mr. Robert Mayo, a new French teacher, was a 1970 graduate of Freeman. He enjoyed working with the students here, although he found the school somewhat changed. Special projects highlighted the excitement of learning, which further encouraged the students’ interests. Those in year one had food projects, such as a cheese- tasting day. They also made models of French monuments and gave reports on them. Second year students wrote diaries, biographies or autobiographies including drawings, pictures, and much of their own imagination. Songs were learned and films were seen to further the fun and learning. Fourth and fifth year went more into the translating and reading of the French classics. Many of the students, both in French and Latin, seemed to enjoy learning their language, and perhaps a few of them even learned to speak it. Languages 63 64 Languages EL OFARIO El Cid, Don Quixote, and La Celestina were but a few of the heroes studied by the Spanish classes taught by Miss Betty Cohen, Mrs. Maria Vidal, Mrs. Shelby Sweeney, and Mrs. Sandra Cooper. In their first year Spanish students were introduced to the language, its vocabulary, verb tenses, and grammar concepts. The second year Spanish students learned about Spanish customs, holidays, and native foods. Third year classes were filled with correspondence, literature, and the polishing up of verb tenses. In order to make the unit on literature more enjoyable Miss Cohen, Mrs. Vidal, and their third year classes rented the motion picture “The Man of La Mancha” starring Sophia Loren and Peter O’Toole. Spanish four students studied in depth Spanish stories and authors. The classes were also filled with special treats like breaking pinatas, exchanging Christmas presents, and having penpals from Spain, all of which made for an exciting year of Spanish. German was not as popular for students as Spanish and French, but it did have its fans. Lowell Smith, a fourth year German student and a German Club member, declared that he would not have given up German for another language course. “People feel that German is too hard, so they take one of the other languages. I find it challenging, but I don’t mind that at all. I'd rather take something challenging anyway.” The German Club Princess, Jo Weller, felt about the same, “It’s not really as bad as everyone makes it, but I'd be the first to deny that it’s easy, either.” It's a Challenge Last minute preparation.

This idea flickered in the minds of students who were involved with the Industrial Arts. These classes were practical in that the students would one day use the skills that were gained through their participation. Both boys and girls gained a greater use and appreciation for their hands. Some utilized their talent through mechanical drawing where they learned to sketch any object to proportion. Creative students found their niche in the designing and printing of stationary and greeting cards. Pupils in the World of Communications experienced communication through electronics, photography, drafting, and radio. Those who were intrigued with radios and televisions participated in the electronics class. Woodworking students learned more than just hammering a nail; they were able to build and fix tables and cabinets. Whether students hoped to be professional workers or “jacks-of-all- trades,” these classes enriched their mechanical ability and skill. Not the Painting Kind ' Perfection.

The lab sciences were generally for seniors, although Chemistry was popular among juniors as well. Physics, which was concerned with the interaction of matter and energy, was often found by students to be both stimulating and interesting. In it the answers were found to such questions as what keeps a bridge from falling and how fast does a football fall to earth after it has been thrown. While these questions did not necessarily keep one awake nights, it was always nice to impress parents with them. As senior David Kannan put it, “It’s sort of like everything you've always wondered about.” Just as labs were completed to find answers to puzzling questions in Physics, so were they in Chemistry. This science dealt with such questions as can H20 boil at 90°F. and is heat needed in order to form ice. Chemistry is basically the discovering of what things consist of and why they behave the way that they do. Chem study, which was an extension of chemistry, was more in-depth with more labs, and was a better background for those going into a science related field. Senior Science, which was almost equivalent to first semester Chemistry in college, was offered with a prerequisite of Chemistry. The second semester of Senior Science was devoted to individual study of the desired field of each student. The courses were often found to be difficult and discouraging by pupils. Amid both dropping and failing students a few of the braver ones stuck with it and managed to procure a passing grade. Along with this came a rewarding feeling of satisfaction. Students smiled with relief as they thought, “Einstein eat your heart out.” Dr. Jekyll.

No, it was not a broken sewer pipe; it was the drifting odors which came from the biology classes signalling another lab. The more interesting labs included the attacking of juicy cows’ eyes, smelly fetal pigs, and slimey frogs. — Memories — Some students got right down to the dissection and mutilation of their specimens, while others recorded the data with a bottle of perfume at their noses. Other experiments, which made life easier for the stomach, included the observation of microscopic specimens, and the working with DNA and insects, as well as other mind-stimulating experiments. The study of Advanced Biology and Human Physiology, a course which was developed by Miss O’Dell, again met with overwhelming student interest. One semester dealt with threats to the environment and the species, and the other was concerned with a study of genetics, and genetic related diseases and operations. Death and alternatives to it, such as cryonics and hybernation, were also reviewed. A project was assigned at the end of each semester. An interview was required to be set up with a representative of a Virginia company which was an alarming source of pollution to our environment. A written and an oral report were then presented. For the genetics class, each student traced five traits as far back into his family tree as he could. These classes were favorites among both those who enjoyed science and those who did not.

The students divided their time between learning to drive in the simulator, actually operating a car on the range, and studying concepts in the classroom. A newly updated book was used in the classroom study. Mr. Richmond thought the percentage of students passed because “most really wanted to learn.” The next step was eight hours of driving and observing “on the road.” Then, providing that the student passed each phase and had turned sixteen, he could get his license. 74 Driver’s Ed. ‘Hard day on the rai zs 1 range, Two Driver's Ed. students __ leave the range discussing their experie: s of th Ea dai One For Mrs. Margaret Caskie Driver's Ed.; Rebelettes Chapter 1; Safety Club.

Divided into sections, the P.E. department offered at least one activity to interest everyone. Basketball, archery, volleyball, and baseball were a few of the favorite games played. Gymnastics, complete with a couple of days on a trampoline, was also well-liked by the underclassmen. An indoor segment of the course for the winter months was a study of various forms of dance, 78 Phys. Ed. including folk, modern, and creative. The students, when not in the gym or on the track, were spending the period in the health classes. The baby Rebs were introduced, many for the first time, to studies of both mental and social diseases, as well as to the parts of the brain and their functions. For most students, the gym class was a time to loosen up and have a good time, while playing sports. Aside from learning the rules and safety precautions for each activity they participated in, they also learned how to play as a team, working for a total group effort.

Each victory was remembered by the athlete as a single accomplishment, while the tally of total wins and losses was more important to Freeman’s student body and fans. Together the scores made up Freeman’s athletic record of success, a tradition that Rebel’s had maintained over the last twenty-five years. Just as the scores alone signified accomplishments, the dedication and talent of the athletes were individual accomplishments. These individual accomplishments combined with other individual’s accomplishments and a sense of teamwork were responsible for making a successful season in every sport.

On the first Monday in March, the Freeman golf team began preparing for the new season. Practices were held . for two hours after school at nearby | he Richmond Country Club; home matches were played there and at Oak Hill Golf Course. The team captured first place in the district, second place in the region and fifth place in the state. Six representatives were sent to the state tournament, where as only one was sent the year before. However, Junior Jonathan Hood was not satisfied. “We should have done better in the state tournament.” The team, led by Senior Rick Amidon and Sophomore Paul Copeland, suffered only two seasonal losses, one to Patrick Henry and one to Benedictine. A difficult team to beat was J. R. Tucker. The match was won by only six strokes and considered to be the most exciting of the season. At the end of a 14-2 season, Coach Paul Flemming stated that the reasons for the teams success was simply good players. Down the Middle.

Even though we had a lot of tough competition, we did pretty well on the whole.” Coach Ken Barbour com- mented that the team was young but matured as the season progressed. This statement was supported when the team composed of Senior Danny Chen, Juniors Bobby Hicks, Steve Ownby, and Kevin Brightwell, set a record in the four mile relay. The team suffered a loss when Greg Sale moved to Charlottes- ville but was thankful when Paris Wilson, a transfer from Midlothian, arrived to take his place. The team ended the season with five wins and no losses. However, this perfect season placed them only fifth in the district. Leading scorer, Charlie Babb, explained, “A major factor in our low rank was the fact that it rained two days before the district tournament and many of us were sick.” BOY’S TRACK AND FIELD DSF 80 Lee-Davis 56 81 Tucker 55 65.5 John Marshal 62.5 Huguenot 42 82 Patrick Henry 54 34 Hermitage 102 54 Highland Springs 82 46 Henrico 90 WON 4 LOST 3 Shotgun start.

After the team began its district schedule with an 11-0 shut-out over Lee-Davis, Coach Wayne Hoy observed that this was “a big way to start the season.” Junior Brad Ford added that another big home game was their 4-0 win over Highland Springs, a revenge for their earlier defeat. “Everyone put forth his best effort in order to win.” The team finished its season with a 9-9 record and placed fourth in the Colonial District. “We had a lot of players who hit well over 300, and we won enough important games to make it to the play- offs,’ commented Brad Ford. The graduation of several out- standing players like Randy Milligan, Don Howren, Teddy Paul, and Bobby Davis hurt the team. The team felt that they were good enough to beat anyone, but mental mistakes cost them important games.

Overall, everyone worked well as a team.” The J.V. baseball team enjoyed a more successful season than did the Varsity, finishing with a record of fourteen wins and two losses. Once again they were the Colonial District champions. Starting in early March the team practiced from 7:00 to 8:15 in the early hours of the morning before school. A loss to the Highland Springs Springers and one to the Henrico Warriors were the only two defeats experienced by the team. Its success was attributed to good pitching and good hitting. Sophomore Anthony Kovanes contributed greatly as a pitcher with an earned-run average of 2.09 and a batting average of .395.

Later the team beat Tucker by only one point and called the match “the highlight of the season.” Led by number one player Charles Bowles and number two player Eric Martin, the netters went on to finish second in the Colonial District, losing to Tucker in a playoff. They finished with a 12-2 record, including a shutout over J.F. Kennedy. Unfortunately, the only support the team received was from the families of the players. Being a tennis ball has its advantages such as eavesdropping.

Because her older sister owned several horses, Molly had much opportunity to ride and develop her skill. Her dedication paid off when she collected winners ribbons and cups from many challenging show competitions.

When school began, the dedicated trackers ran every afternoon through different neighborhoods and at the University of Richmond. The goal of a successful season unified the boys’ and girls’ teams; this goal was realized when both placed in several invitational meets. The two teams had valuable strengths that were essential for victory. Although it was lacking in number, the girls’ team had the top two regional runners. They helped secure second place in the region and fifth place at the William and Mary Invitational Meet. With confidence and unity the boys’ team placed second in the region and twelfth in the state. With hope of continuing the sport through college, many team members trained all year. Several seniors received track scholarships. The moral support of faithful families and friends help build individual self- confidence. The Pep Club gave the team a picnic and served as secret pals. The cheerleading squads gave their support at the district and regional meets.

Support and Dedication Result in Success for Cross Country 97 Before the start of the school year, the girls varsity basketball team prepared for the next season. Tiring “suicide” drills built speed and confidence. Because of the distribution of classmen, it was difficult for the team to unify itself. When it succeeded, however, the players formed the winningest team in the history of the sport at Freeman. Height, speed and depth were combined to gain a 16-8 record, including a defeat over Henrico, the first in three years. Support at the Tuesday and Thursday games was small at first but interest grew as the news of success spread. The team’s top scorers, Sophomore Betsy Facka and Senior Kathy Jones, were named to the all-district team. Senior Anna Mons received the 110% award for her hard work and dedication. Senior Pam George, five Juniors and two Sophomores formed the rest of the successful team. After playing at summer camps, the Junior Varsity players also began their team practice in August. They jogged, jumped rope and performed other drills to improve their skiils. When the season began, the team made up for their average speed with their unusual height which helped them to dominate the rebound. This skill was combined with experience from another winning season. The J. V. players won fifteen of their sixteen games which preceded the varsity games. This record led to a tie for first place in the district. Jump ball! Suzanne Martin out jumps her opp nent from Lee-Davis and gives the Rebels posse sion of the ball. In a J.

Every Friday during football season, Rebel spirit soared from the beginning of the afternoon pep rallies until the ten- second countdown at the night-time games. When the varsity football team combined this support with hard practicing and concentrated playing, it gained yet another winning season. The ten game schedule included only two losses: a heartbreaking 6-2 defeat to George Wythe and a 28-0 loss to a strong rival team from Highland Springs. One player commented, “The scouting of other teams by our coaches helped prepare us for games.” Four Rebels, seniors Ricky Powell, Eddie Ransom, and Tom and Jim Kinter, were selected for the All-Metro team. Tom Kinter commented, “It was a great honor to be chosen for the All- Metro team but I would have traded it for a spot in the playoffs.” An unusual feature of the team was eight sophomore players. Quarterback Richard Steinhoff commented, “Being able to play varsity football as a sophomore was a great experience.” In a game against Benedictine, sophomore Tommy Morrissey punts the ball safely into Keydet territory. Varsity Football 101 After filling its ranks with both sophomores and juniors, B-Team football enjoyed a satisfying season. With an unusually good offense and strong defense, the team finished with a 4-2 record including a victory over Highland Springs. The team participated in joint practices with the Varsity team. It did not, however, receive the same support at its Saturday morning games as the older team did on Friday night. Junior fullback Chip Buff commented, “Though the B-Team did not play with the color and glory of the Varsity team, it did have spirit and the desire to win.” The Ninth Grade Team consisted of freshmen from Freeman and Byrd Middle School. Its 5-1 record included intense games with district rivals Highland Springs and J.R. Tucker. A disappointing defeat by the Springers occurred in the last two minutes of the season’s opener. In the last quarter of the Tucker game, the Rebels prevented the Tigers from gaining a two point conversion after their only touchdown. The players credited their success to coaches Dave Wilson and Jack Richmond. Tri-captain Roy Woolwine commented, “This year we had great coaches that really helped us to enjoy playing.” The two popular coaches voted the whole team Most Valuable Player. 102 B-Team and 9th Grade Football J.V.

A 6-3 loss in a disappointing playoff ended the season.

They ended the season with a strong record of fourteen wins, two losses, and one tie. “Technically,” said Mr. Watson, the team’s coach, “that record is a little worse than last year. But I think it’s better because this team had to work harder.” The Freeman strikers were the District Tournament Champions for the second year as well as district and regional champions for the third consecutive year. According to Coach Watson, all his players were valuable. Unlike teams of the past, many members of the team had not played together before; however, they soon learned to work as a team. Two new players were American Field Service students Ove Jonssen from Swenden and Stig Juvik from Norway. Toughest competition came from the Patriots of Patrick Henry and the Springers of Highland Springs. Due to mild seasonal temperatures, student support was better than in past seasons, but not outstanding. The cheerleaders and Pep Band provided much of the support at the matches. Coach Watson commented on his relatively inexperienced team, “They really deserved all the honors they got this year because they had to work so hard. They were the hardest workers I've had.” Soccer 107 Best Record Since ’70 for Varsity Basketball Team 108 Varsity Basketball apm rs i - a. , hm gal . ee A. 2 Pa Kk “la Z : od ty, , 04 ¢ Ft. 4 ‘ : y + oe ee ge i - é 4 ei 7 ) eee ro. 4 fe rs fi The 11-8 record, which started with six straight wins, of the Varsity Basketball team was the best since ’69- ’70 season record of thirteen wins and 9 losses. “School support was up when compared to past years.

Captain Timmy Jones led the team in scoring and rebounding, while John Trimble, Bob Felty and Joe Burton all had very good seasons. But it was hard for Coach Hoy to single out the most valuable player. They couldn't have won without a team effort. “All-in- all, they got along pretty well together,” commented the coach. As in past years, support of the ninth grade team was poor. “We only had a few parents in the stands but that is true each year.” said Coach Hoy. The cheerleaders though did a “commendable job.” District Champion Stonewall Jackson was the team’s toughest competition, but it was evenly matched with all other teams it played. “The team consisted of fifteen boys with super attitudes,” said Coach Hoy. “It was a real pleasure for me to work with them. It was a real pity that the student body missed out on watching the progress they made and the enthusiasm they generated. They were a real credit to the school.” The junior varsity team also had a very successful season, ending with a record of fifteen and five; as with the ninth grade team, school support did not contribute to its success. Coach Larry Parpart felt the team played extremely well together; no individual stars developed because each player worked equally hard.

All-round gymnasts Patty Hirsch and Wendy Cary competed in the state tournament along with Laurie Williamson and Martha Rowe. Martha was the only senior on the team and a strong competitor on the uneven parallel bars. Dedication was mandatory to make the team strong.

Although indoor is little known at Freeman, it is present. This year the boys’ team made its presence felt by placing sixth in the region and the girls by placing fourth. This was due to a combination of hard work, good coaching, and strong runners. There were a number of excellent runners on the boys’ team including: Bobby Hicks, Jeff DeBar, Clement Sydnor, Steve Ownby, Charlie Babb, and Kevin Brightwell. On the girls team, Pam George was outstanding, as was Karen Kaechele who placed first in the mile and two mile runs in the regional meet. School support for the winter track team was small, but Coach Barbour understood. “Since we travel all over the state, it is tough to get support. Taking the Lead.

After the dual meet win over Highland Springs, Coach Bright’s dual meet record stood at fifty consecutive wins. Several Freeman starters placed in the post season tournaments. Tom Kinter compiled as 12-0 record and placed first in the Central Region Tournament and third in the state tournament. His brother Jim and senior Jon Duresky both compiled outstanding records and placed first in their weight classes at the district tournament. School support was enthusiastic at district matches but the most loyal and “important support”, according to Coach Bright came from the Grapplettes. After losing the Central Regional championship the year before, the team pulled together to recapture the title. Sophomore Bill Robertson commented, “Despite the last year’s standouts, we had enough talent to fill the vacancies. Everyone worked hard to recapture the Regional title.” The junior varsity team compiled a record of eleven wins and three losses.

Over fifty organizations had been establish ed at Freeman, from SODA to the Math- Computer Club. And still more clubs were being formed. Profusion of members had caused some clubs to branch out, such as Rebelettes, while others suffered and died out, such as the Library Club. No organization, no matter how much it was needed, could survive without hard work on someone’s part. The hard work came in different forms: for the sponsor it meant just being there with authority, for the leader it meant long hours of organization and planning, for the new members it meant finding the time to attend meetings. But no matter how hard it seemed to do these things, they got done. ORGANIZATIONS Knowing and unknowing. Two flag girls clown for the photographer, while their friends remain enthralled in the game.

When the dust settled after the hectic campaigning and enthusiastic speeches, Freeman found its SCA led by a female president, the first one in twenty-four years. With the help of the three other officers and a new sponsor, Miss Vickie O’Dell, Jeanne Face took a new approach to the SCA’s activities. The goal was to create a personal feeling for ._ the SCA. Their idea was “to get every student involved with the SCA in some way,” Jeanne explained. The SCA’s feeling was one of renewed spirit. It intended to participate in the daily life of the school. Revising the school handbook, The Rebel Yell, and updating the constitution were examples of this. The revival had its impact on the staging of the first successful Homecoming dance of the past few years. The SCA tried to reach all students in every class. New freshmen and sophomores were given a sense of belonging through the efforts of the SCA’s Big Brother Sister committee. The junior class was assisted with their Stunt Talent Night production. The SCA’s Christmas project included collecting clothes, toys, and canned goods for the Christmas Mother program. Each homeroom collected for a boy or girl of a certain age to give the program a more personal touch. To make sure each student was reached, the SCA sponsored the Inter Club Council. The ICC held a club day and helped with the Homecoming dance. Other committees gave interested students opportunities to help the school and community. R-Cap, for instance, visited underprivileged children. The Student Exchange committee visited different high schools and gave students from other schools an opportunity to view Freeman. The Teacher Appreciation committee kept the student body in touch with the faculty. The New Student committee welcomed new arrivals to Freeman. The success of these programs was due to the enthusiastic participation of the student body. Covergirl. SCA President Jeanne Face models her fashionable summer wardrobe.

Good Clean Fun On Wednesday nights “Charlie’s Angels,” homework, and part-time jobs were ignored as many Rebels flocked to Young Life or FCA meetings, both of which are Christian oriented groups. Young Life brought geat numbers of Rebels together every Wednesday night. During the school day it was not unusual to see Young Life leaders passing out maps to that night’s meeting. The Young Life gatherings were usually very spirited. They started out with a song and a few jokes delivered by Tuck Knupp or Rich Ruche, the Young Life leaders. As the evening progressed, more songs were sung, more jokes were cracked, and skits or games took place. The rowdiness of the group died down towards the end of the meeting as Rich or Tuck read an excerpt from the Bible or told a story relating to everyday problems and situations. Afterwards, the group usually went to Hardee’s for a snack and more fellowship. Throughout the year Young Lifers took trips to different resorts such as Windy Gap in North Carolina and Lake Saranac in New York. An emphasis was placed on spiritual growth. “I don’t know about everyone else,” commented Nancy Stanford, “but I think I’m a better person mentally and spiritually because of Young Life.” The Fellowship of Christian Athletes met every first and third Wednesday of each month. They planned and carried out a number of service projects for the community. As in past years, they visited the Beaumont Home for Boys where they played football and enjoyed refreshments. Members combined flowers and small space to produce their Homecoming float with the slogan “Bug Benedictine.” Although the two groups were organized differently, they were very similar. Both Young Life and FCA helped Rebels to grow and to learn self- awareness. The groups offered companionship, spiritual growth, and a good time for anyone interested. Deck the halls.

Looking back on the year’s activities, French Club President Renda Lippman commented, “This year we’ve tried many new things and they've all been successful.” The year began with the construction of the club’s Homecoming float bearing the slogan “Can-Can the Cadets.” Although the float did not win a prize, the members were pleased with their club’s representative in the parade. The club donated ten dollars to the SCA for the Homecoming dance. Twenty-five members, along with Mrs. Linda Wallinger, dined at La Petite France where they enjoyed delicious beef bourginon and the French atmosphere. Another activity was a cheese-tasting party. Although wine is usually served with cheese, mineral water was served as a substitute. Activities planned for the second semester included a perfume-sampling day, a performance by International Folk dancers, and a discussion of French wines. The Spanish Club also had an increased number of activities because the club made $400 from the selling of chocolate candy bars. Secretary Carolyn Turpin said, “I think we did a lot more this year than in the past two years because we made so much money in the candy sales.” The club contributed $100 to the Henrico Christmas Mother and $73 to the Salvation Army shoe fund. Canned goods were donated to the Little Sisters of the Poor. As senior Lynn Walker said, “We are a very close club because of our sponsor, Mrs. Vidal. Due to this we were able to raise a lot of money to help others have a Merry Christmas. Look out for the bull.

Both clubs had much to offer in the way of activities. In November the JCL attended a convention in Arlington, Virginia. The members participated in written contests in such areas as mythology, derivatives, and Roman culture. In the state competition Austin Jones won first place in derivatives. The convention was lightened by a banquet, complete with togas, as well as a disco. To help increase the treasury, members sold cokes and candy at wrestling matches and held car washes. With the money raised, the members had picnics, attended an Italian restaurant, and participated in the Lundi Romani at Westhampton College. The German Club was more active than in past years. The club celebrated Octoberfest with dinner at Mad King Ludwig’s Restaurant. In December the members traveled to Norfolk to view German dancing and to enjoy German refreshments.

It is an honor awarded to those juniors and seniors who excelled in the areas of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The National Honor Society tapping ceremonies were held twice in the spring. Only the students with a 3.2 grade point average were considered during their senior year. The ceremonies were exciting events for everyone wondered who would be tapped. Apprehension grew as the NHS members left the stage and strolled down the aisles and between the rows in order to tap the new members. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, a group of surprised and happy people sat with the old members on the stage before their parents, friends, and fellow students. A reception for the members and their parents followed each of the ceremonies. Led by the President Jim Walker, the NHS members had several duties throughout the year. He was aided by Vice-President Anna Morris; Secretary April Hamel; and Treasurer Andrea Spessard. They posted in the main hall the names of students on the “A” honor roll from each class. They also periodically cleaned the trophy cabinets. The members were completely responsible for the organization of the tapping ceremonies and receptions. Students who worked on the literary or business staffs for the Commentator, Educator, and Historian also had an opportunity to be honored.

Junior Susan Meyer leads the student body in class competition during a pep rally. As the gym opened for its first pep rally of the year, the unsupressable spirit of the Rebels climbed to an indescribable high. The Varsity cheerleaders led the student body in hand-clapping and foot-stomping to the band’s favorite tunes. At each of the pep rallies the squad, led by head cheerleader Gail Shipstedt, roused the enthusiasm of a crowd exceeding two-thousand students. They entertained the crowd with skits like a tiger hunt for the Tucker pep rally anda funeral for the Springers. The squad cheered the Rebels on to victories in football, basketball, and other sports at home and away games. They boosted spirit by painting slogans on signs for the halls and ones for the gym for pep rallies. The cheerleaders’ responsibilities required a great deal of practice.

The band was conducted by Mr. Hunter Purdie who was honored for his twenty-five years of teaching at Freeman in a half-time show at the Lee-Davis football game. During marching season the group was led by drum majors Patti Harrell and Connie Nonris. Marching practices began the third week of August. At this time the new students learned how to march while the old members refreshed their memories. In addition to band class everyday, several mornings a week throughout the season were spent in preparation for halftime and pre-game shows. The Rebel band participated in several parades during the year. Practice for parades required marching through neighborhoods near the school and around the track. The hours of practice were rewarded as the band placed second in the Tobacco Festival Parade competition. In October the band was invited to pay at the dedication ceremony of the Richmond Memorial Blues statue outside the Coliseum. ae The band also presented Christmas od by and spring concerts.

This group helped to encourage the victories of the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams throughout the season. The sound of “Dixie,” whether at the end ofa pep rally, after a touchdown, or anytime, let everyone know that the band was there, supporting the school and having a great time. Its members were responsible for stirring pep and enthusiasm among the students, teachers, and parents through the band’s music. Drum roll.

President Joan Burton said, “It appeared to our teachers that we were part-time students and full-time performers.” To help the cheerleaders promote school spirit, the Downbeats sang their own version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” during the Christmas pep rally. The Chamber Ensemble practiced every day during fifth period and on Mondays after school. The group sang at various churches throughout the year including the University of Richmond’s opening church services. The members presented a Christmas show for a group of retired teachers.

DECA members visited Westport Manor, a home for the elderly, and had a Christmas party complete with a Santa Claus. The members also planned many other service projects as well as a ski trip.

Happy homemakers hour. Senior Steve Cheon discusses plans for the coming year while FHA members listen attentively. 146 FBLA, FHA There were a variety of courses to choose from as well as clubs to join for those who participated in either the home economics or business departments. Focusing around their theme of “communication,” the Future Homemakers of America maintained a full, active year. In September the 130 members visited Tangier, Virginia, in an effort to learn to communicate with others. The graduating class there had only four people, which is a far cry from Freeman’s 560. The FHA also visited Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, with other county chapters. A speaker from Hip Pocket demonstrated how a person’s clothes were an expression of himself. Communication was stressed for happy family life by two other speakers, Dr. Bosure and Carrington Tate, who discussed love and means of communication to those one loved. Holiday activities to serve the community also kept the club busy. A Thanksgiving party was given at the Libby Convalescent Center in an effort to reach the older generation. The party was declared a success; as the FHA sponsor Mrs. Sanger said, “The people there enjoy someone to talk to.” The club members combined fun with fund- raising as the classes made Christmas ornaments to sell at the FHA fair. A Christmas party included dinner and caroling to spread the season’s cheer. In the spring, the club held an ice-cream social and mother-daughter banquet. To finish out the year, a hugh family Pot Luck dinner was held. Another club that accompanies a class is the Future Business Leaders of America. The club’s major event for the year was the FBLA Conference which was held in March. Stickers and doughnuts were sold and car washes and bake sales were held to raise money. Those who competed in the convention were required to have mastered the fundamentals of accounting, speed typing, note-taking, shorthand, and parliamentary procedure. The members managed to squeeze in a few fun activities. A Thanksgiving party was held as well as several informal gatherings throughout the year. Both the FHA and the FBLA were beneficial to the home economics and business students. They were a means of continuing education in an enjoyable but worthwhile manner.

When a young man enters his freshman year, he leaves his frivolous youth behind. It is at this time that he must make a crucial decision: he must choose between Key Club, Hi-Y, and Interact. Therefore a feverish rush to fill out applications and turn them in before the deadline always accompanies the fall membership drives. The opportunity to escort a Homcoming princess for the half-time ceremony induced many a young man to choose the Key Club. Contrary to popular belief, this was not the major purpose of the club as it also performed community services. The Crippled Children’s Hospital received many contributions and visits from the group. Club members went to the hospital during the week when the children were confined to their rooms. Senior Brian Dyer explained, “We had fun just shooting pool and playing games with the kids.” Another activity of the club was selling tickets for and organizing the 148 Hi-Y, Interact, Key Club A Man-Sized Job Homecoming dance. At the end of Key Club Week in December, the teachers were presented with plaques in appreciation for their dedication. In the spirit of furthering their club, a money donation was loaned to the University of Richmond to start Circle K, a college oriented Key Club. Community service also characterized the Hi-Y. A Bowl-a-thon at Sunset Hills for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation started off their year. Seniors Ricky Powell and Brian Garnett felt that the club “pulled together well.” The Thanksgiving Assembly to contribute canned goods to the Crippled Children’s Hospital was again sponsored by the Hi-Y. At school, keeping the front lawn tidy for the clean- up project and donating money so that the Grapplettes could travel with the team to the Falls Church Tournament were a few of their contributions. A tight feeling of unity was the encouragement for prospective members to join. Helping and relating to others was the specialty of Interact. The members worked with Meals-on-Wheels during the Christmas season and brought cheer to the shut-ins in the Richmond area. Throughout the year assistance was given to Muscular Dystrophy to plan a dance marathon at Virginia Commonwealth University. The Beaumont Home for Boys was the focus of Interact’s activities. President Mile Garrett explained, “Our experiences with the guys at Beaumont have shown us how much they value contact with people outside of the Correctional Center and how important the role of clubs and organizations can be in this.” The freshman, after losing at least one night’s sleep dwelling on this important decision of joining a service club, will choose the one he likes best. Being able to identify with one of Freeman’s “elite” clubs will enable him to ease into the school’s social life. “a Son — a Interact.

Service clubs are a large part of life at Douglas Freeman. Rebelettes | and II are only two of the many service clubs open for the participation of Rebels. As a service club, the Rebellettes | planned many activities for the year. During the Thanksgiving season the members collected canned goods and donated them to “New Life for Youth,” a rehabilitation center in Richmond. Throughout the year, the members paid visits to their adopted grandmother from the Little Sisters of the Po or. The members of Rebelettes I also got together outside of school to do fun things as friends. In November, for example, they attended the Pablo Cruise concert. During the Christmas season they went caroling with the Key Club. Rebelettes I was the only chapter which used the point system. The members received points for baking, attending meetings, and other activities. If a member failed to receive enough points, she was given a warning. If the number of points was not brought up, the member was expelled from the club. Vice President Julie Powell said, “The point system is what makes our club what it is. It encourages the members to work and to get involved.” Rebelettes II is another girls’ service club. The members do both a service project and a fun activity every month. A Halloween party was given for the children at Grace House for October’s service project. For Thanksgiving they collected canned goods and bought a turkey for a needy family. The girls adopted this family for the entire school year, giving them food and gifts on holidays as a year-round service project. The members rang bells at Christmas to raise money for the Salvation Army. Rebelettes II used the point system at one time, but the club stopped a few years ago. “We only need to use it when attendance is lacking,’ commented Historian Robin Johnson. The members of Rebelettes II considered themselves “a group of people who are like a closely-knit family.” They enjoyed getting together and doing different things. They also attended the Pablo Cruise concert and had a pajama party afterwards. They held a covered dish dinner over the Christmas holidays. Both Rebelettes I and II visited a different church each month. This introduced the girls to religions other than their own and helped them appreciate the worship of others. Both Rebelettes Chapters are needed service clubs with respectable reputations. A lot of hard work was necessary to be actively involved, but the members gained satisfaction for a job well done. i abe Mini conference.

Members of Rebelettes IV sing carols during their Christmas party at the Lit- tle Sisters of the Poor. With an increased interest in school activities, Rebelettes III and IV boosted their memberships and filled the empty spaces in their clubs. The ICC Club Day was attributed with the rise in the club’s popularity. Both clubs built booths and handed out applications to prospective members, taking advantage of the students’ enthusiasm. Consisting of almost all juniors and sophomores, Rebelettes III spent the year rebuilding and restrengthening. Pajama parties and monthly trips to various churches with lunch afterwards helped draw the club closer and establish strong friendships. Vice- President Sharon Ward said, “Having these activities strengthened the club, although as with any club, some members didn’t participate.” Donating records to the Women’s State Farm and a paper drive for the Sheltering Arms Hospital at Christmas time were just a few of the service projects. At school the club kept the auditorium clean for the school Clean-up project and helped to decorate the gym for the Homecoming Dance. A festive Christmas dinner at sponsor Mrs. Sue Kobertson’s home was one high point of the year. Starting off the year as September’s ICC Club of the Month, Rebelettes IV continued to be a great service to the community throughout the year. Instead of contributing to a variety of charities, they concentrated on one, the Little Sisters of the Poor. They staged a Halloween party, a square dance, anda caroling party for them. President Andrea Spessard explained, “We got such a sense of satisfaction everytime, like we had brought some youth and freshness into their lives. Now we have a growing friendship with these people!” Other activities included collecting toys, books, and clothing for Grace House at Christmas time. They also drew posters for the school clean-up project in the Math Department. Cookies and brownies were baked once a month as a fund-raising effort. Secret pals left gifts and goodies on birthdays and holidays. Both chapters of Rebelettes enabled the members to become more active in the community than they generally would have. The girls made new friends and grew closer to old ones. In their efforts to aid those less fortunate than themselves, they were left with feelings of satisfaction and well-being. 152 Rebelettes Ill, IV MAU i ees aseoatnepiln Ce Rebelettes III.

No, not the carbonated beverage but the Student Organization for Developing Attitudes. About thirty juniors and seniors visited sixth grade classes twice each month. Throughout the year they helped the elementary students to become individuals by making their own decisions. The SODA members did not tell them what was right and wrong but presented both sides of realistic issues. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Brenda Southworth, and the SODA handbook, the students prepared creative lessons for their classes concerning peer pressure, individuality, respect, courtesy, and other aspects of a mature attitude. The sixth graders considered the SODA members as their older brothers and sisters. The program was successful, for the older students could relate to the younger ones by remembering their own problems and experiences. While SODA helped the students, F.T.A. attempted to help the teachers. The club members formed a committee and traveled to Ridge Elementary School once or twice a week. At Christmas and Valentine’s Day the club baked treats for the teachers. During the year the F.T.A. invited two speakers to discuss learning disabilities in elementary and high schools. Vice- President Ann Richardson, Treasurer Kitty Fekete, and Secretary Cathy Garrett made plans for the club to clean the desks throughout the school. President Cathy Hatz commented, “F.T.A. helps students realize the problems faced by teachers. This understanding is necessary for a better teacher-student relationship.” For those with an interest in French and a desire to teach it to others, there was the T.A.G. program. Teams of two French students visited elementary schools in order to share their knowledge of the langauge. They taught the students to speak French but not to write it.

The members were given an opportunity to ride along with a policeman for a day to observe his enforcement of safety.

With hope of generating new enthusiasm from the student body, the Commentator staff changed the format of the first issue of the paper to a newsmagazine. However, due to a lack of support during the subscription drive, the publication was again changed to include features of both a newspaper and a newsmagazine. After an extension of the deadline, the necessary number of subscriptions were finally sold. Throughout the year the staff provided the school with a paper which included feature articles concerning the students, sports, other activities, and the community. The Educator staff produced a literary arts magazine which contained poetry, prose, music, art, and photography. Staff members as well as other members of the student body contributed to this publication through their varied talents. A group from the Educator staff traveled to New York in October for a four-day visit. There they attended classes for magazine staff members at the Columbia University. Also in October a group from the Commentator and Educator staffs spent a weekend in Charlottesville where the students attended lectures at the University of Virginia. They learned how to improve their publications and make them more successful. All of the students who helped produce the Commentator and the Educator spent many long hours expressing their dedication to the school, meanwhile enjoying their work. Busy work.

The yearbook staff, guided by editor-in-chief, Betsy Neira, worked continually throughout the year to produce the Historian. The staff consisted of senior editors and junior assistants. First the editors had to choose a theme. From then on, everything evolved aroung that one idea. Later the staff had to make a decision concerning the color and design of the cover. There were interviews to be made, copy to be written, pictures to be taken, and spreads to be designed. Striving to meet deadlines, the staff members often spent extra time working after school in addition to the seventh period class everyday. After the copy was written and approved, it had to be typed (often by staff members who did not know how to type). Captions had to be written for each candid picture, and headlines for each spread. Sophomores interested in joining the yearbook staff became Tories. They met every Thursday afternoon to learn the basic yearbook techniques. They were taught yearbook terminology and how to write captions, crop pictures, and design spreads. The editors and junior assistants contributed a great amount of their time to the work that produced the Historian. Dedication and a sense of accomplishment pushed them through the year until the final deadline when everything was finished and sent to the publisher. The staff members then had to wait along with the rest of the student body for the yearbook to return as a finished product. Business transactions.

By selling drinks at the Homecoming dance, the club made twenty-five dollars. The money was used to buy awards for tournament winners and for a party to end the year. In the club’s first tournament, David Sims reached the finals and Gary Dallara was a runner-up. The tournament was free for all students and faculty who wanted to participate. Chess was played at every meeting except for every fourth meeting when club business was discussed. President 162 Chess Club, Debate Team ‘Neelu Chawla explained that no knowledge of chess was needed to join. He said, “We don’t want to scare away people that don’t know how to play chess because we’re not only here to play chess. We’ll gladly teach it, too.” As a topic for the year, the Debate Team tackled the problem of reducing the energy dependence of the United States. The team’s first competition was held in Daleville, Virginia. The debaters returned with two Revere bowls for their high scores. A trophy and two gavels were brought home from the Meadowbrook High Debate Weighing the issue.

Because of their efficient research, the debaters won with such cases as converting garbage into energy. Mrs. Bryant, the Debate Team coach, did a tremendous job building up the team because the seventeen debaters placed high in many tournaments. Mrs. Bryant enjoyed working with the debaters as she explained, “Debate is the most rewarding thing in my job, because I am working with students who are intellectually alert and have broad interests outside their work.” The debaters enjoyed debating because it built self-confidence and self-esteem.

With the help of the sponsor Mrs. Trent, President Bill Thomas made plans for the members to take field trips and to have speakers visit the meetings. The number of members in the club was larger than in the previous years. The officers attempted to present the field of science in a manner different from the way it appeared to students in class. In March the club helped the science department by organizing an open house where science-related exhibits were displayed for the PTA. The members of the Math Computer Club met once a month and participated in activities varying from programming a computer to playing card tricks. The club posted a bulletin board displaying a different computer program design each month. The sponsor, Mrs. McMullan, taught those students unfamiliar with the procedures how to program a computer. As President Neelu Chawla stated, “This club is designed for everyone—one doesn’t need to know how to work with computers in order to participate.” Science fair.

Each of these numbers is used to identify someone in some way ... in a computer, telephone book, or for tax purposes. They are each important in identifying a person, yet they reveal nothing about him as anything more than a number or statistic. Just as no number or could express the things that had taken place at Freeman since it’s opening, no eleven digit number from a computer could tell about individual accomplishments and experiences such as those of Ove Johnson and his discoveries about America, or those of the Educator staff and their experiences in New York City. We were a group of people held together by a common denominator: Freeman. Yet, we were each our own person with our own distinguishing goals, achievements, and hopes. SradDENTS Daydreaming.

Boy, it really is hard to believe my senior year flew by so fast! Seems like just yesterday when we were lost freshmen looking desperately for a Big Brother or Sister to rescue us and to direct us to class. This year we got our chance to do the directing. The year started with so much excitement. Work on our Homecoming float began almost as soon as school started. Many long nights were spent at Jon Duresky’s house making paper flowers and taping blue crepe paper on our loveable cookie monster. We all forgot those long hours of work when we heard our float had won first place. One thing about Homecoming which set us apart from the lower classmen was that we had not one, not two, but five princesses. They were Joan Gammon, Susan Hall, April Hamel, Ginger Helfin, and Nancy Lowenstein. | think everyone will remember the cry of surprise given by Ginger when she was chosen Homecoming Queen during the half-time festivities. Our class treasury grew as dedicated seniors fireproofed Homecoming floats and sold leftover mugs from our junior moneymaking project. Any senior who bought a mug for $3.00 didn’t have to Music tames the savage beast Senior clags officer Vice-Preside pay his dues. In this way we could pay our dues and get an extra bonus. Our spirit was abundant and filled the pep rallies as we had finally learned the art of winning class competition. Probably the one we all remember most was the Tucker pep rally when the cries of “toga, toga, toga” echoed throughout the gym. Finally, we all knew that the year was drawing to a close when Prom time rolled around. The officers traveled to different places to hear the prospective bands play and also to compare prices and finally decided on the Grandeurs with Act III. For weeks everyone fussed over his date, dress, or agenda for the night but although we thought it wouldn’t, April 28 finally arrived. The entire night was marvelous and memorable. At last the day came for which we had all been waiting. After a year filled with SAT’s and achievements, applying to colleges and hoping for a positive answer, and the fittings for caps and gowns, graduation had come! The day was full of speeches, tears, hugs, and best wishes from friends. My senior year may be over now, but it is one year I'll never forget.

Applications which had been lying untouched on desk tops for weeks were dusted off and struggled over. Those dreaded paragraphs were completed and references were requested. After several conferences with counselors and seemingly endless lists those awful applications were sent to colleges. Many college bound students spent their weekends and vacations visiting nearby schools. Those that seemed a favorite among the class were University of Va., The College of William and Mary, Va. Tech, and Madison, all of which appear to have much to offer in the way of academics and extracurricular activities. While some students looked for high academic standards in a college, others searched for a school with an active social life. The basic requirement that a college had to have for a student was his intended major, little academic pressure, and some degree of social activity. Those students who applied for early decision and were accepted became both triumphant and smug. They sat back and enjoyed their senior year while their classmates seethed with envy. Finally April rolled around and the long awaited letters arrived. Tembling fingers tore open envelopes and excited shouts were heard. Students rushed to the phone to call their friends to tell them that it had really come true. All the long hours of studying, taking SAT and trying to raise their class rank were truly worth it for they were going to college. College Chaos Seniors 173 From the end of July to the end of August most “Rebels” were at the beach, the pool, or the river soaking up the rays. But for Brad Williamson this was a time of travel and adventure. After being chosen to play on the National Young Life basketball team, Brad spent most of these four weeks dribbling through Australia. The twelve boys were selected throughout the nation, basically coming from Washington State or Colorado. Brad was the only one chosen from the east. On July 23 after arriving in San Francisco to join the team, Brad and the eleven other players flew to Hawaii. They spent the next eight days on the islands practicing and learning to work together as a team. After Hawaii the team was off to Australia where they encountered a number of surprises ... As it was still winter in Australia, all the schools were in session. Brad was amazed to discover that the students enrolled in both private and public schools wore uniforms. It took the American boys a while to adjust to seeing people driving on the left side of the road. The Australians were envious when they learned that American teenagers can drive at the age of sixteen since they are not permitted to drive until they are eighteen. Playing under international rules, the team noted variations in the game. “The courts looked a little different,” commented Brad, “and the officiating was terrible.” While in Australia, the team found a little time to go sightseeing. They played golf and saw kangaroos and koala bears in their natural habitats. Everywhere they went the people were very friendly and the team members were treated like celebrities. They were often asked to sign autographs for spectators. “It was really an ego trip” Brad said. Brad feels this trip was a good experience and it helped him gain a great deal of self confidence. “If I could do it again, I would,” said Brad, “but I am just glad I got the chance to do it once.” Down Under 174 Seniors Kenneth Bowers Stacy Ann Bragg FHA, Historian Literary Staff, Copy Editor; Pep Club; Rebelettes II, Sergeant-at- Arms; SCA Big Sister; Stunt Talent Night; VHSL Convention; Tories Dorothea Lou Brandt F.A.T.S.; SCA Committee; SCA Big Sister; Stunt Talent Night Pamela Dianne Breedlove “Ah, Wilderness”: Color Guard; FHA, Federation Secretary; Pep Club; Rebelettes II; SCA Big Sister Kevin Hunter Brightwell Band, Treasurer; Cross Country, Honorary Captain; FCA; Pep Band; Track Julie Anne Bristow Downbeats; German Club; Girl’s Ensemble; Safety Club Martha Suzanne Britton Girl’s Track; Medical Arts Club, Vice-President, President Francis Brooke Anthony Magruder Brown Chamber Ensemble; Class Council; Concert Choir; Historian Literary Staff, Student Life Editor; “One”; “Lothar”; “Passionellona”; SCA R-Cap Committee Chairman; SCA Council; SCA Big Brother; Spanish Club; SNHS; “The Lady and the Tiger”; VHSL Convention; Tories Craig Braswell Brown Debra Louise Brown Band; FBLA James Clayton Bryant Band, Vice-President; FCA; Interact; Rebelettes IV, Sweetheart; SCA Big Brother; Winter Track; Wrestling, JV Linda Susan Bryant JV Baseball, Bat Girl; Class Council; FHA; Grapplette; Historian Business Staff; Hi-Y, Sweetheart, Princess; Pep Club; Rebellettes II, Treasurer; SCA Big Sister; Spanish Club; Stunt Talent Night, Make-up Committee Chairman Steven Thomas Buck Susan Graham Burgess French Club; FNHS; FTA; Secretary; MNHS, Princess; Rebelettes II; National Merit Letter of Commendation Daniel Allen Burns Joan Gary Burton Cheerleader, JV; Downbeats, President, Princess; Girls’ Ensemble; Girls’ Tennis; JCL; NHS; Rebelettes II, Vice-President; Sturt Talent Night Winner; Girl’s State Thomas Danial Butler Timothy Osborne Butler Science Club Sheila Rae Callis Sophomore Class Treasurer; Downbeats; FCA; FHA; Girl’s Track; Interact, Sweetheart, Princess; Rebelettes II; Safety Club; SCA Committee; Softball; Stunt Talent Night; Tories James Andrew Callison Hugh Campbell Curtis Gray Carlson Golf; Key Club, Treasurer; Rebelettes Il, Sweetheart; SCA Big Brother; SODA; Stunt Talent Night Donald Gray Carter Football, JV; German Club; Historian Business Staff; Interact; SCA Council: SCA Officer, Treasurer; SCA Big Brother; Soccer, Captain; SODA; Stunt Talent Night; Safety Club ili a et ten a ge te acide ecdinneeie caus CL taBrad Williamson practices his in’ preparation for his trip to ib the Young Life Basketball team.

Sound Impossible? Not for seniors Martha Bode, Holly Dollard, Jeanne Face and Jim Walker. At Boys’ State and Girls’ State last summer they were given their chance. Sponsored by the American Legion, the program enabled rising seniors to study the operation of the state government. Soon after arriving at Lynchburg College, the class leaders chosen to attend were placed in leadership positions. Competition was very tough since approximately 700 students from Virginia high schools were wying for the leadership positions. The students were divided into groups known as cities. Each city wrote its own constitution and elected its own officials. The citizens of each group started out as complete strangers but after a week of working and living together, they all became good friends. Everyone belonged to a political party and maintained a political position with specific responsibilities to carry out. Jim Walker, as sheriff, was in charge of maintaining discipline and of waking people in the morning. Because campaigning started at the beginning of the week, candidates had to get involved and become acquainted with people from the first. Everyone in each party united and worked for the election of their candidate. The students realized how easily it is for politicians to become dishonest as they traded notes and made deals during their own elections. Jim commented, “It gave me the idea of how politicians work, especially on the state and local level.” The students spent each waking hour actively. They did everything from hearing lectures from Governor John Dalton and Lieutenant Governor Charles Robb to being entertained by Steve Bassett and Robin Thompson. Jeanne Face commented on her week, “It was really good; I have leaned that I can sympathize with politicians and guys in Washington, and I became aware of how Virginia’s government works.” She said when she came home she realized that it was worthwhile experience because she had become so serious and involved in something that was only make-believe.

For senior Nancy Lowenstein, this dream became a reality. On September 23 at King’s Dominion, Nancy was judged along with a number of other Richmond area girls for the honor of becoming Junior Miss Richmond and the chance of being in the Junior Miss Virginia contest. It all began in the middle of June when Nancy received a letter explaining how she could become a contestant in the Junior Miss Richmond Pageant. More as a joke than anything else, Nancy sent a picture of herself and a small fee to the address given in the letter. “I had forgotten all about it until they called me to arrange an interview,” Nancy said. She went for the interview, where she had to play her oboe so the pageant directors could determine if she was talented. A few days after this, she received a call telling her that she was one of the few lucky girls chosen to compete in the Junior Miss Richmond Pageant and that was when the work really began. Nancy knew that because of her previously injured leg she would have to work extra hard. She did. Despite crutches and some pain in her leg, Nancy competed equally in all the competitions, including physical fitness and a dance that all the girls had to do together. They were also judged on talent, grades, poise, and an interview. It was really hard work for Nancy, but it was fun too. “The best part,” she said, “was meeting so many new people and the experience of being in a Junior Miss contest.” Nancy was given the “Most Courageous” award, which was voted on by the girls, and also awarded first runner up for being photogenic. Although she didn’t win, she gained a lot from her experience. “I learned a lot about cooperation,” said Nancy, “and I learned patience; mostly patience.” | When asked if she would do anything different if she could do it over, Nancy replied, “Not really. But I’d sure start practicing my oboe harder!” Seniors 179 Ballet bouyancy.

She seriously started swimming when she was about six and began competing for the Jewish Community Center. Because of her remarkable ability she was asked to attempt synchronized swimming. This is a sport which requires a great deal of time, patience, and discipline. Betsy practiced at the Westhampton University pool three days and lifted weights the remaining four days. She was responsible for choreographing music to fit her routines. Solos and duets must include five figures and be no longer than four minutes. The routines are supposed to reflect the swimmer’s personality and are judged on a ten point scale. Since she has been swimming Betsy has competed in Senior Nationals, Junior Nationals, and Junior Olympic Nationals. When Betsy attended the Jr. Olympic Nationals for the second time in 1978 she placed fifth for her solo routine. She won first place six times in regional meets. During the summer before her senior year, Betsy traveled to Pueblo, Colorado to swim in the first National Sports Festival sponsored by the United States Olympic Committee. She was invited because she was one of the top ten swimmers in the south. Her team finished the weeklong event by placing third in the festival while her solo finished tenth. At the present time, synchronized swimming is not an Olympic event, but in 1984 there are hopes that it will be. Why did Betsy enjoy swimming so much that she devoted over half her life to it? Well to sum it up Betsy said, “It gives me a sense of satisfaction, pride, and gratification.” Richard Davern Farrell FBLA; Key Club: Science Club; “The Apple Tree” Malinda Mae Field Commentator Ad Staff; Flag Girl; Quill and Scroll; Rebelettes IV Kathryn Fields FCA; French Club; Historian Business Staff; Rebelettes II; SCA Big Sister; Science Club; TAG Robert Lawerance Filosa Paul Rusty Fogg DECA; German Club Thomas Bradford Ford Baseball, JV, Varsity; FCA; JCL; MNHS, Secretary-Treasurer; Rebelettes I, Sweetheart Jeanette Ann Frasher FBLA: FCA; Flag Girl; Pep Club; Rebelettes IV Richard Lavis Freelin Commentator Literary Staff, Editor; CSPA Convention; CY Vice President; Spanish Club; VHSL Convention; Safety Club Joan Brice Gammon Cheerleader, JV, Varsity; F.A.T.S.; Senior Class Princess Cynthia Dell Gardner Brian Louis Garnett Baseball, JV; FHA; Football, JV, Varsity; Historian Business Staff; Hi-Y Michael Wayne Garrett, FCA, Vice-President, President; Interact, President, NHS; SCA Big Brother; SODA; Stunt Talent Night; Wrestling William Blake Garrett Baseball, JV, Varsity; Football, JV, Varsity; German Club Pamela Gay George Cross Country; Girls’ Basketball; Girls’ Gymnastics, Manager; Girls’ Track; NHS; SCA Merit Letter; Softball; Track; UVA Junior Honors Science and Humanities Symposium Seniors 181 Elizabeth Mary Gerwin French Club, Treasurer; FNHS, Secretary Raymond Dennis Gibbs Band; Electronics; Math- Computer Club phon Scott Gibson Electronics; FHA; Science u Melanie Lynn Gilbert FCA; FHA; Tories: Rebelettes II; Safety Club Shari Celeste Giordano Class Council; Historian, Business Staff Susan Blair Glass French Club; Girls’ Track; Pep Club; Rebelettes II; SCA R-Cap Committee Wendy Diane Glasser Concert Choir; FNHS; Library Club; Medical Arts Club Stephen McCarthy Goddard Boys’ Basketball, Varsity, JV; Concert Choir; Interact; SCA Council Brian David Goldstein Debate, Co-Captain, Captain; Key Club; SCA Council; SCA Merit Letter; SNHS, President Angelia Chaney Goodwin Class Council; Girls’ Basketball, Manager; “The Apple Tree” Stuart Michael Goza Electronics Russell Grabinski 182 Seniors From the moment one first hears of Europe he dreams of spending a summer abroad. The beaches of the Riveria, the churches of Italy, and the smile of Mona Lisa tempts him to wash cars and shine shoes in an effort to raise the money. His leisure time is spent in fantasy. When Beth Abruzese closes her eyes she did not dream of strolling through the Louvre or drifting about in a gondola. Instead, she saw herself twirling a baton for a host of Europeans. Beth was one of the few who were selected to spend a summer traveling through England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Holland, and Monaco. The Program which was known as All-Student Marching Bands USA, was first held in 1977. This highly select organization chose high school students aged 14-22 from the U.S. When Beth heard about it she wrote them requesting an application. Selections were made based primarily on the desire and ability of the student in this field. While most people who travel on a European excursion worry only about selecting a new wardrobe, Beth had a great deal more on her mind. She practiced six hours a day in preparation for her trip. She not only sharpened her skills but created new routines as well. Beth began taking baton lessons from Mrs. Jean Campell when she was in the seventh grade. Her interest in the art stemmed from watching twirlers as a child. “I loved to see them from all of the different schools and I was amazed at the way they could twirl their batons.” Her love for twirling blossomed after her first few lessons. After returning from abroad Beth chose to continue competing with others. She participated in the Virginia State Competition for Baton Twirling and won four state championships in solo, basic, fancy, and parade majorette categories.

Senior homebound Bobby Meacham never encounters this problem. He makes his own. Averaging twenty hours a week, Bobby spends most of his spare time making jewelry. He first became interested in working with metals from a friend of his fathers. The jewelry class at Freeman gave him a chance to work with different techniques and materials. Stephen Michael Hawthorne Band; Little Rebel Band; Electronics, Vice-President; “The Apple Tree” David Jame Hebel With this experience, Bobby was able to make his own jewelry. When Bobby was forced to become homebound because of a serious illness, he saw this not as an obstacle but as a chance to develop his talent. With the help of his homebound teacher, he set up his own business selling to individuals as well as to gift shops. Bobby creates handmade Indian jewelry including bracelets, earrings, and rings. His use of sterling silver, gold, and tin gave his other works a special look. He prefers to work with raw materials to give his work the “handmade” effect. Using talent and art skills, Bobby has turned his hobby into a money-making job. He feels like he has learned a great deal through this experience, not only about making jewelry but also about business management. After completing a piece of jewelry, Bobby enjoys looking at his creation and thinking back on how it originally looked, Bobby added, “I love what I do.” Russell Karl Heese Baseball; Boys’ Basketball: Golf; Key Club; Stunt Talent Night Janell Dene Heflin Cheerleader, JV, Co-Captain, Varsity; Sophomore Class Vice-President; Junior Class Secretary; French Club; FNHS; Key Club,Sweetheart; NHS; Rebelettes I; SCA P.A.

Now open them, look down the hall, and see our Ove- Erik Jonsson, a foreign exchange student. Ove had always dreamed about visiting a country other than his own, so he decided to apply to the exchange program. After months of nervous anticipation, he received a letter of acceptance and was off to spend a year in the United States. According to Ove, life here was much different from his accustomed style in Sweden. “The people at home are much friendlier and easier to get to know.” One of the first striking contrasts Ove noticed was the number of cars individual families owned. “In Sweden, cars are about three times the cost as here so only the upper class families can afford more than one.” Aside from social differences, there were also educational ones. Children do not begin their schooling until they are seven years old and they are only required to go for nine years. Ove’s school in Sweden was the Natural Science Tine, which students attend in preparation for careers in the Science field. The courses available were similar to those offered here although in a large quantity. As many as sixteen classes could have been taken in one year. Six languages were taught of which Ove has mastered three: Swedish, English and German. A major difference between the two schools and one which Ove missed considerably, concerned the leaving of school early. “In Sweden you could leave school whenever you felt like it. You were treated more like an adult. Because a person is considered an adult there, at age sixteen there, he is allowed more freedom.” Ove was impressed, however, with the spirit which radiated from proud Rebels. “Spirit wasn’t important at home, and | wish it was because I really love those pep rallies!” Ove found one thing remained the same—his love for and participation in soccer. He enjoyed the sport a great deal in Sweden, and became a valuable player at Freeman. When he was not playing soccer, however, he was playing ice hockey, another sport offered. His summers were spent water skiing, sailing and diving. He also loved to ski and spent a week in the Alps, checking out the slopes. Ove considered the East Coast to be conservative but he did not seem to mind this as he hopefully made plans to return for college. So don’t be surprised when you're in college and see that blonde-haired, blue-eyed Ove come sauntering down the hall in his clogs. Seniors 187 Toga! Toga! Toga! Does this familiar chant remind you of a Roman Chariot race? No! To many seniors this reminds them of the Tucker pep rally. To show their spirit and class unity many members of the Senior class donned Roman togas to illustrate their slogan “Toga the Tigers.” This is just one example of the senior spirit that helped make 1979 a memorable and successful year. A feeling of class superiority prompted more and more seniors to become active in their class activities. In whatever event that they participated, the seniors beamed a smile that signified their feelings of being “number one.” The seniors began their final year at Freeman busily preparing their prize winning float. Many hours were spent by dedicated seniors with the hopes of grasping the first prize. Their wishes became a reality as their “Cookie Monster” captured the eyes of the judges and was awarded first place. Their slogan, “That’s the Way the Cadet Crumbles!” arose large amounts of spirit from both the individual class and the Rebel fans. Later in the year signs were posted proclaiming the Senior’s pride with the slogan “A Touch of Class.” These signs marked the homerooms of the graduating seniors. They looked forward to their years in college, but every time one hears the familiar chants of “Toga!” they will think back about their unforgettable senior year at Freeman. orn | , after beating 188 Seniors Richard Jones FHA; German Club; Interact Stanley Bernard Jones Jr. Baseball, J.V., Varsity; Commentator Business Staff; German Club, Treasurer; Interact; Rebelettes II, Sweetheart; SCA Big Brother; SODA.

And what a better place to go than New York City? The purpose of the trip was to participate in a convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, which is a literary convention at Columbia University, which sophomores, juniors, and seniors from the magazine staff attended. The staff attended seminars on the technical and creative aspects of a literary magazine. The Educator placed first in the literary art category of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Awards. There were different workshops on publishing poetry, prose, and photography. Each staff member picked his classes in coordination with his position on the staff. After attending classes during the day, the group went sightseeing in their spare time. At night the staff dined at exotic restaurants and attended several Broadway plays. Mrs. Jaffee, the sponsor of the Educator, said, “I consider the trip worthwhile in spite of the expense because it offers a unique experience not available locally. Also, of equal value to the intellectual stimulus of the classes are the cultural opportunities that New York City offers.” 190 Seniors Thomas Dean Lewis “Ah, Wilderness;” DECA; French Club; Forensics, President, District, Regional, State Prose Representative; Historian Business Staff; SCA Student Exchange Committee; SCA Publicity Committee; SCA Public Address Committee; SCA Rebel Yell Revision Committee; SCA Council; SCA Merit Letter; SCA Big Brother Jefferson Hoover Lindquist Band; Boys’ Tennis; Commentator Business Staff; Cub Club; FHA; Historian Business Staff; Hi-Y, Treasurer; MNHS, Rebelettes III, Sweetheart; SCA Council; SCA Merit Letter; SCA Big Brother; Stunt Talent Night; All-Regional Band, All-State Band, Little Rebel Band Whitney Lindsey Renda Helene Lippmann Commentator Literary Staff, Feature Editor, Reporter; French Club, President, Princess; Quill and Scroll; Rebelettes II Ruth Elaine Lively Band; Librarian; Little Rebel Band; Historian Business Staff; “The Playroom”, Props Committee; Pep Club; Rebelettes III; SCA Rebel Yell Revision Committee Doreen Sue London DECA; FHA Michael Dudley Long Electronics; Football, J.V.; Hi-Y; SCA Council Carlos Alberto Lopez transferred from Susan E.

ALL a Seniors 191 Since he was tired of rushing to catch the bus and skipping breakfast, senior Billy Facka decided to beat the system and drive his own bus to school. Being a Henrico bus driver involved a great deal of responsibility and nerve, as a driver he was in charge of the safety and welfare of approximately thirty children, six or more times a day. It meant getting up early in the morning to pick up the elementary school children, and getting home late in the afternoon after delivering the high school students. Henrico preferred their drivers to be at least seventeen and six months, as beginning drivers would not have had enough experience to handle a bus. The county also felt that anyone younger than a senior would not get enough cooperation from the students. Senior, Billy Facka said, “Although I am the youngest bus driver, I feel that I have just as much authority over the kids as the older ones do and maybe more.” His commanding, yet friendly personality enabled Billy to get along well with the kids on his bus. Becoming a bus driver was not as easy as it seemed. It required a good driving record, teacher recommendations, and approval by the supervisor, Mr. Ray Long. Everybody knew that the only thing worse than having a person’s mother take him to school with curlers in her hair, was having to get drenched by the rain while waiting for the bus. However, some students enjoy riding the bus and a few of the braver ones even decided to become bus drivers. 192 Seniors Brooks McNamara Commentator Advertisin Staff, Assistant Manager; Girls’ Basketball; Girls’ Track; Rebelettes III; SCA Council; SCA Big Sister; “The Apple Tree;” Props Committee; Stunt Talent Night Robert Dean McNeal ICT, President; VICA Roberta Christian McNiel FATS; Safety Club; SCA Student Exchange Committee Christopher Lawrence McRae JCL; Spanish Club Billy McSheffry Frederick T.

Does this sound like a gang? No, it was a singing group composed mainly of high school students. The group was sponsored by the church and is under the leadership of Mr. Leo Winters and Mr. Steve St. John. The only requirement to join the group was an interest in music and a regular attendance to meetings held once a week. The group of twenty to thirty singers sang gospel songs with the accompaniment of guitars, an electric bass, trumpets, drums, and tamborines. Because of the closeness of the group and their growing reputation as a fine choral group ensemble they were frequently invited to sing at various social functions. The singers have toured such places as Myrtle Beach, West Virginia, North Carolina, and throughout Virginia. Ginny Edwards, a senior at Freeman, said, “The group is so together that there is no competition or pettiness, and we all get along really well with one another.” After an enjoyable evening of singing and socializing the “Proclamations” felt there was no other place to be on a Wednesday night than at Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church.

Plans were made, months i n advance, To make it a memorable, special dance. We knew we could make something of our “Casablanca” theme, We put our heads together, and worked as a team. Kathy Farmer and Eric Martin together, They led us to prepare for the big day. We drew sketch after sketch to get ideas straight We gathered that morning to decorate. It was just another hour till we were dressed to kill And still there was more time left for us to fill. But there was nothing left to do, ex- cept to wait. And wait and wait for the arrival of our date. The butterflies in our stomachs were doing the pretzel round n’ round. We couldn’t eat a bite, because we couldn’t keep it down. Before the evening came we knew we’d pop a seam It was turning into a nightmare, what had once been a dream. Suddenly like a symbol crash, the doorbell rang out in the night We smoothed out our gowns, and slowed down our fright. All at once it was a dream again as they helped with our coats Out into the dreamnight, we all seemed to float. 1979 Senior Court Mark Atkinson Sarah Adams Rick Batton Joan Burton Gray Carter Sue Cosby Mike Garrett Jeanne Face Brian Garnett Kathy Farmer Steve Ross Sussan Hall Bill Stacia April Hamel Lowell Smith Ginger Heflin Tom Spangler Sherburne Laughlin dim Walker Nancy Lowenstein Stuart Wilbourne Anna Morris Brad Williamson Julie Powell 196 Seniors Martha Franklin Rowe French Club; Girls’ Gymnastics; Majorettes; Rebelettes IV Michelle Ruben Commentator Editorial Staff, Editor-in-chief; Concert Choir; All-Regional Chorus; French Club; Forensics, Quill and Scroll; SCA R-CAP Committee; Thespians, Secretary; VHSL Convention; “Story Theatre”; ‘Ah, Wilderness,” “The Apple Tree” Ruth Ann Rusher Concert Choir; Grapplette; Historian Business Staff; Pep Club; SCA Student Exchange Committee, Stunt Talent Night fee Roxburgh German Club; Girls’ Basketball, J Susan Lisa Sancilio Debate; FCA; FHA; Girls’ Tennis; JCL Jenny Sanders Dwayne Wade Sanderson Apprentice Club, President; Commentator Literary Staff, Reporter and Columnist; Educator, Prose Editor, Managing Editor; Forensics; JCL; “The Playroom”; Quill and Scroll; Rebelettes IV, Sweetheart; VHSL Convention; Winter Track; Brown Book Award; National Merit Semi-finalist; National Council of Teachers of English Writing Award Lorri Kaye Sandlin FCA; FTA; Girls’ Track, Manager; Historian Business Staff; Spanish Club Vara Ruth Saurs Varsity Cheerleader; FHA; Flag Girl; “Ah, Wilderness”; “Lothar”; “One”: Rebelettes I; SCA Council; Stunt Talent Night; Tories John Savage Sandra Jean Scaletta FHA Dawn Renee Sealey Historian Business Staff; Pep Club; Rebelettes IV; SCA Student Exchange Committee; Spanish Club Rebecca Macy Schaffer French Club: Historian Business Staff; Pep Club; Rebelettes III; SCA Committee; SCA Big Sister; Stunt Talent Night Amy Rebecca Schoenes Cheerleader; JV; FHA; Historian Business Staff; ICT; VICA Carl Alan Schulze Key Club; Stunt Talent Night; Teenage Republicans Stuart Allen Schwartz Bernadette Marie Shaia Debate; Spanish Club, Treasurer; SNHS Edward Gerard Shaia FBLA; FHA; Spanish Club; Track Wilderness”: The Last Dance Robert Garrett Shelton Band; Baseball, JV Lucy Shields Class Council; French Club; Historian Literary Staff, Literary Editor; “Ah “Lothar”; “One”; “The Playroom”; Quill and Scroll; Rebelettes II; SODA; Stunt Talent Night; VHSL Convention; Tories; SCA R-Cap Committee Gail Louise Shipstedt Cheerleader, JV, Varsity, Captain; Girls’ Tennis; Rebelettes I; TAG; Student Exchange; Homecoming Chairman Thomas David Shreve Band; Football, JV; Wrestling, JV, Varsity Lisa Ilene Siege!

In Richmond? Of course not! But for 13 Rebels, 2 Confederates and 1 Cadet this became a regular experience as they spent 12 days in Germany playing soccer. Through the American Cultural Exchange a program was devised to send a team of various high school students to play club teams in Germany. Freeman’s coach, Bruce Watson, and St. Christopher’s coach, Mike Coddington, received information about the trip from Hershey, Pennsylvania and then selected students to participate. Even though some businesses agreed to sponsor the players, the team’s greatest problem was financial. Many devoted soccer players spent a lot of their spare time riding Greater Richmond Transit buses and to take poles to raise money. A great amount of funds was raised selling doughnuts and having car washes. Soccer is the national sport in Germany and players try out for club teams instead of playing for separate schools. The best athletes are chosen from the area to represent the club and range in age from 16 to 21. So hampered by these disadvantages along with slight differences in soccer rules, the Richmond team was surprised to do so well competing against the Germans. Senior Mark Atchinson believed that the Germans played a more stylistic game and that the competition with a sophisticated group of soccer players was very beneficial. Although soccer took up most of the Americans time, they managed to squeeze in a bit of culture. They visited castles, palaces, and even prison camps.

In preparation for their chosen career, seniors Tim Lee, Gerald Vaughn, and Kent Griffen traveled to the Hermitage Vo-Tech Center for two and a half hours of an electronics course. In their work in electronics, which is the study of all the components of electricity, they found methods of controlling electricity, set up experiments, and learned the properties of electricity. After high school, Tim Lee decided to go on to the Richmond Technical Center for four years of instruction. His course with the Vo-Tech Center provided a good background for his studies there.

Are we talking about school vacations? No. Income tax time? No. Proms? No. We are talking about birthdays. People have many different ways to celebrate their birthdays. Some people rent places such as Golden Skateworld or Shakey’s and have a party. Some people go out on the town to an expensive restaurant or out dancing. Some places such as Broad Street Station or Farrell’s offer customers free refreshments on their birthday. Some are very special days while others pass by nearly unnoticed. When a child turns six, he starts a new life of rulers, books, and notebook paper. A twelfth birthday means movies suddenly and ridiculously cost more. At sixteen a new horizon opens up. Suddenly with a driver’s license in hand, the world seems like a smaller place. But the most noteworthy birthday has to be one’s eighteenth. At eighteen a person is considered to be mature enough to take part in politics by registering to vote or join the military service. He can finally buy beer or go to discos legally and of lesser importance he can go to an X-rated movie. A few Freemanites realize the importance of the day when one turns eighteen so that they go all out to celebrate the occasion. Rebels use every excuse possible to have a party or to celebrate. A group of seniors who eat first lunch have a party everytime one of their cronies reach the magic age. They refer to themselves as the “Birthday Club” and are equipped with balloons, hats, and whistles. The idea started when senior Ginger Heflin made a cake complete with candles. The party was enjoyed so much that the idea continued and it became a regular practice. So next year when you hear those familiar works echoing throughout the cafeteria, it is just the birthday club.

Votes were cast for SCA, homeroom representatives, Homecoming princesses, and class officers. For the Juniors voting was not an easy task. Nominating, voting, and revoting were all important in the election of officers. The Juniors made good choices in electing Ann Marie Edwards, president; Jill Lippmann, vice- president; Betsy Stuart, secretary; Rob Whitehead, honor council representative; and John Burch, treasurer. The Junior class officers worked hard to have an organized and working class. Every other Monday they met to talk over problems and school events. Betsy Stuart commented, “We have a lot of enthusiastic people. We are more organized than we have been in the past.” Organization was an important factor in winning the spirit stick during the first pep rally of the year. Everyone working together helped make the Junior float a success. The Juniors came a long way from last year’s hand-carried float to achieve second place with the theme “Space the Cadets.” With the help of a new sponsor, Mrs. Shirley Wells, the Junior class had fun while working hard and achieving goals.

Just recently, Hunter joined the Richmond School of Ballet. He dances at the school an average of ten to fifteen hours a week. This may not sound like a lot to many people, but to people who have ever been active in the ballet, they are long hours of strenuous exercise and work. The long hours paid off for Hunter more quickly than he expected. After studying ballet only two months, he played a major role in the production of “Bach Montage.” Another ballet in which he performed was “The Nutcracker Suite.” Hunter joined the Richmond School of Ballet in order to help his acting career. He has been acting actively since childhood. His first major play was “Li’] Abner” at Byrd Middle School. He has had leading roles in a number of productions, most of them at Freeman. He is planning to attend the North Carolina School of Arts, or to go to New York City and continue his education in the theatre. Although the sacrifices are many and the work strenuous and hard, the rewards are well worth the effort. As Hunter said, “The fine arts have helped me to develop self-discipline and build self-confidence. I’m going to keep it up.” The Entertainer Russell McGee Kathy McIntyre Catherine McKee Ginna McKinney Steve McLane Cheryl McOsker John McRae Jeff McVay Christine Meindl Jeff Merter Susan Meyer Bonnie Miller David Miller Greg Miller William Miller Dean Milligan Hunter Mills Kathy Millsaps Mitch Mitchell Steve Moir Velma Montana Bev Moore Cheryl Moore John Morand Kari Moore Lee Moore Lei Morris Linda Morgan Richard Morgan Pam Munson Max Narro Grace Nedrow Bobby Neal Connie Norris Bobby Oaks Lori Obaugh Juniors 211 Finishing touches.

At Byrd Middle School, she took an industrial art class that included metal working, plastics, graphic arts, and woodworking. She took this course for three years, but this was only the beginning. When she came to Freeman, she decided to specialize in the phase that interested . her the most which was woodworking. “T love to work with my hands,” Barbara explained. “It’s creative and you can really use your imagination.” Barbara has experimented with almost all types of Industrial Arts including leather working, ceramics, and electricity, but she has stayed with woodworking. The only equipment that is needed is basic hand tools, power equipment, and of course, wood. Barbara achieves a certain amount of satisfaction from this hobby. “It gives me self-pleasure. I can say that I made something and it feels good when someone likes my work.” Rick Peranski Corbin Perry Kim Perry Abbie Phillips Julie Piper Cindy Pollard Mary Pollard Betsy Potter Maria Poulos Sandra Prather David aoe Cyrus Rafii Tony Ramos Tommy Ransom Teresa Raynor Robyn Reed Cheryl Reeves Courtney Reid cick Reid ecky Reppelt John Rhode Anne Richardson Kenny Rice Bruce Rilee Kelly Riley Ann Rison Tricia Roberts Beth Robertson David Robinson Charles Roest Howard Roper Ronnie Rose Stuart Rosen Chip Off The ’Ole Block Juniors 213 John Rosser Donna Roudabush Debbie Rowley Andy Sadler David Sampson Michelle Sancilio Marta Sandridge Caroline Scales James Schaefer Beth Scherr Gordan Schiff Susie Scott Terie Sears Mike Seebo David Shannon Allison Sharpe Sheryl Silverstein Bary Simon Susan Sions Susan Sledge Deborah Smalley Karen Smith Marion Smith Olivia Smith Steve Smith Susan Smith Betty Snapp Lena Spears Beth Spencer David Spiro Leeann Spurrell Jay Squires Nancy Stanford Sharon Stanley Kathy Stansell Beth Stansfield Harvey Stebbins Andy Steinberg Dale Stermnheimer David Sterrett 214 Juniors As the end of school drew near, anticipation of summer vacation grew in every Rebel. However, an excitement of another kind grew in about twenty sophomores and juniors. This excitement was expected, for they were preparing for a trip to Europe with Spanish teacher, Miss Betty Cohen. The students departed from Byrd Airport on June 27. They were joined by high school students from various other states. Meeting these other people was quite an experience. Most of the students had never been to Europe so the tour took them to the most well- known areas in Europe. They visited England, France, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland. Though the trip only lasted until July 21, the travelers were exposed to much more than they could absorb. Switzerland was the most popular of the five countries for many of the students. There they not only viewed but skied in the famed alps. The sight of snow in July was a special one for the tourists. David Wu, one of the traveling Freeman students said that, “You wouldn’t believe the beauty of the place.” They were also treated to a genuine Swiss meal complete with cheese fondue and a Yodeler for entertainment. The Rebels also had the opportunity to see the world’s first female bullfighter perform for the very first time. In Italy they saw the Pope at the Vatican in Rome a few weeks before his death. For the Catholic members of the group, this experience was very meaningful. They also visited the Roman Coliseum and the “Pont of Veco.” Another special treat was a ride in gondolas through the streets of Venice. The tourists flew over the White Cliffs of Dover before landing in France. Miss Cohen and her co-sponsor Mr. Jeff Saunders escorted their group to Paris just in time for Bastille Day. During this celebration of the French Independence, they watched fireworks from the Eiffel Tower. The last days of the trip were spent in London, from which they visited Stradford-on-Avon, the home of Shakespeare. They also saw Piccadilly Circus and changing of the guards. The trip was a success and a valuable experience for the students and sponsors. Their travels through Europe were made by plane, train, bus, and car. They all returned with memories, pictures, and souvenirs. : Snow in July? Junior David Wu views the Swiss Alps in anticipation of a trip down the mountain during a recent visit to Europe.

There was one minute remaining in the first half of the Lee-Davis football game. The members of the band and front groups were forming lines before marching onto the field. Many of the spectators, knowing of the special halftime show, remained in the stands instead of visiting friends and making trips to the concession stand. The show was dedicated to Mr. . Hunter Purdie for twenty-five years of devoted service at Freeman as the band director. The idea for the performance arose between two juniors, Tricia Roberts and Jeannette Alexander. It remained a secret while the rough drafts for the maneuvers were made. “First, we asked Mr. Purdie if he would like to take the week off and let us write and produce the whole halftime show,” explained Tricia. He was surprised since __no students had ever offered to write a show; however, he gladly gave his approval. Tricia, Jeannette, band librarians, officers, and squad leaders worked together in organizing the show. “Discipline was so important,” explained Jeannette, “because without it we wouldn’t have been able to get anything done.” After practicing five mornings at 7:45, five afternoons during fourth period, and two nights from 7:00 until 9:00 during the week of the game, the band felt that it was ready for the performance. Since it was to be a surprise, Mr. Purdie didn’t attend any of the practices. The band caught the attention of the spectators with its first song, “Masterpiece.” Then the band members danced to “The Basin Street Blues” while the front groups formed a kick line. “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby” was played, and then at the sound of the whistle everyone on the field scattered into formation. Then the musicians knelt and played “Auld Lang Syne” while the front groups sent masses of bubbles into the air. This ended one of the most successful shows of the season. Each of the performers felt a sense of pride in the success as well as relief. The look on Mr. Purdie’s face as he left his place in the stands revealed his appreciation and pride in his band. Each member knew that they had succeeded in a a show that was totally their own from start to finish. Bubble venture.

By selling the sprigs of mistletoe for fifty cents, the class made a twenty-five cents profit on each sale. This idea was immensely successful. The Sophomore class was led by five hard-working and creative officers.

The strong unity of the Sophomore class was apparent throughout the year. The first sign of their unity appeared in the form of a Homecoming float. With the theme “Char the Cadets,” their smoke-breathing dragon won third place. Excitement filled the stands and the hearts of the sophomores who had given so much time and effort to the construction of the reptile when their float was announced as one of the winners.

Their unity has been a key factor in their success as a class. It is hoped that they have as much success in their Junior year. Line up.

These were the state-wide competency tests passed by the 1978 General Assembly. These tests were administered to the students during four class periods. Though students at other schools in the area had different attitudes toward the tests, many at Freeman considered them as an insult to their intelligence. “The tests were so easy that it was hard to believe that anyone wouldn’t pass them,” commented Sophomore Chris Wiggins. The State Board of Education made the passing score at seventy which Sophomore Debbie Young thought, “wasn’t a challenge at all.” After viewing the verbal and mathematical areas of the test, the general public felt that the testing was a failure and should be revised or forgotten.

Many a viewer of the JV basketball games rubbed his eyes in disbelief, until he could tell that there really were two guys on the team who looked alike. They were sophomores John and Charles Sims. The twins, starting in op- posite positions, were distinguishable most easily by their numbers. The court was not the only place where one twin was confused for the other, but at least their friends and teamates could tell them apart. Although both John and Charles have competitive spirits, there was no more rivalry felt between them than between any other siblings. Their athletic and scholastic achievements were similar and they often worked together in both fields. The brothers not only had similar interests and ideas, but they had the same circle of friends as well. This helped to make them, perhaps, the closest of brothers. While there were male twins running up and down the basketball court, there were twin girls circling the track. Dana and Donna Frostick considered them- selves to be “chums” most of the time, but enemies at other times. At one time, they didn’t even care to see each other, but this has changed throughout the years. In an effort to be more easily dis- tinguished, Dana usually put her hair up while Donna wore hers down or curled. Another set of twins who, like the others, were athletes, were unlike the Simses or Frostiks in that they could hardly be called identical. Betsy Facka is a two-year starter on the girl’s basketball team, and her brother, Freddie, played his first year on varsity. While the two are only sophomores, each has been in- dispensable to the team. Both on the court and off, the twins, who are very close, are constantly being compared. They are both considered hard workers and positive people. The two are easily recognized as twins. “I know plenty of people who didn’t know we were twins until we told them,” said Fred. Although each was his own person, the six together formed double trouble.

Mod Models. Sophomore Patty Hirsh and junior Catherine Hastings pause on the steps between classes to display the latest fashions. 224 Sophomores “Annie Hall, eat your heart out!” was the general opinion as Freeman stu- dents dressed better than ever this year. The more daring students turned to the wild new trends in fashions, while others chose the security of the ever-present, basic “prep” look. The classic styles grew in popularity throughout the year, with blazers at the top of every girl’s list. Shirts with roun- ded collars, or no collars at all, presen- ted a pleasant change from the usual alligator or oxford shirt. Sweaters branched out from crew necks and car- digans to v-neck and loose pullovers. If a student wasn’t wearing a sweater, however, he was probably wearing a vest made from a variety of fabrics and styles. Skirts bought in 1978 which didn’t have extra hem were most likely thrust to the back of the closet. Not only were the skirts lengthened considerably, but they were slimmed down as well. Pants, too, were created with slimmer legs to accent the figure. Calvin Klein, Vidal Sasson, and Diane Von Furstenberg gave their signatures to the very popular French-cut jeans. Those all important accessories altered in style, somewhat. Some stu- dents still clumped about in clogs, while others chose to wobble down the halls in their Candies. For those people who enjoyed being comfortable, Bleuchers and Bass were the answer. Just as shoes changed, so did jewelry. More gold was worn in the form of stickpens, monogram pins, add-a-bead necklaces, earrings, and delicate bracelets. Belts were bought more for looks than to hold the pants up, as belt buckles and strips, Aigner belts, monogram belts, and gold belts were worn. While Levi’s remained the all-time favorite among the guys, other pants were seen as well. Khakis flowed, checks dazzled, and widewale corduroys whispered down the hall. The brightly colored pants were topped with wild alligator shirts and oxford cloth button- downs. Often both shirts together, were seen battling together with a pair of neutral khakis. Crew neck and v-neck sweaters were wom most frequently, with the hooded sweatshirts presenting the more casual look. Most of the guys’ feet were in such shoes as dexters, top- siders, duck shoes, and track shoes. Coats indicated the popularity of ski- ing at Freeman. Ski jackets and down- filled vests in bright colors often blinded Rebels. Many girls however, stuck with their faithful long wool coats and shorter jackets, bright slicker raincoats, and the general opinion of “I'd rather die of pneumonia than be caught wearing galoshes” still reigned. Freeman students, long accused of dressing conservatively in the “prep” look, stunned them all this year by alter- ing the styles a few shades. While not everyone turned to the new trends, and only a few followed them closely, it was a breakdown of the general fashion. Those very few individuals who dared to be different in their clothing, however, deserved to receive medals.

It was not only a matter of learning the way about the school, but of becoming a part of it, too. Under the hindering stigma of being an underclassman, each student attempted to become a needed piece in the puzzle of high school life. For three sophomores, the adjustments were even harder. The students spoke little or no English. Why, they couldn’t even ask to buy an elevator pass in English! The students, one of whom was from Korea, while the other two were from Nicuargua, took regular courses for the first part of the day. The last two classes, however, were spent with other foreign students and Mr. Forsythe, their teacher. The purpose of the class was to develop their English language skills, so that they could have a sufficient working knowledge of English. The better their comprehension of the language, the greater the chances of them doing well in their courses. Aside from mastering the English langauge, however, the students needed to learn some of the American customs. One such custom was of dress. Each student desired to fit into the norm of things by dressing as their fellow classmates did. Factors such as these contributed to a slight feeling of alienation. Not one of the foreigners chose to apply to any clubs or join any sports teams, which Mr. Forsythe found to be a shame. “Clubs should attempt to recruit foreign students.” While most of the sophomores only had to leave behin d their middle schools, these people left their countries. Although it was a big adjustment for all of the new students, it was even greater for the ones who came knowing only how to ask “ou est le bathroom?” Donna Jackson Sheryl Jennings Amy Jenison John Jesse Kirk Johnson Richard Jones Rick Jones Valerie Jones Elizabeth Joynes Terrie Justice Mark Kalman Teresa Kannan Lee Katz Mike Kee Kim Keebler Sharon Keener Ann Kelly Jean Kelly Meg Kennedy Maryanne Kennelly Doug Kern Bruce Kidd Kathy King Shelley King Chris Kinter Susan Kirchmier Steve Kubik Lisa LaFratta Steve Lane Valerie Lane Ann Langhorne Melinda Lanier Phyllis Latimer Terry Lawson Chris Lenyon Joe Lessard Denise Lett Mike Levy Paige Lewis Yvonne Lewis a en Friends ped o Fore 226 Sophomores EE Teacher and friend.

Everyone understood if someone just couldn’t make it to French V. There’s really no point in speaking it better than the Frenchmen, anyway. But if one flunked a particular course he became a social outcast who had to hang on to his 67 minibike for another year. Every student had to pass driver’s education or else his life became meaningless. It didn’t really bother you that you couldn't hop in the car and go wherever you wanted, until the end of your freshman year. Then it hit, and it hit hard. Sophomores dreamed of that magical time (no, not when gym was over for good), but the day they would receive the card allowing them to drive. It became almost a game that you played, those last few months before you got your license. After stepping outside a shopping center or movie theater, you casually pretended to be momentarily resting against the building, instead of waiting for mom to pull up in the family station wagon. When your father dropped you off at the party and then yelled to you 50 feet away that he would pick you up at 11:00 sharp, you appear cooly amused at the hysterical man who thought that you were his daughter. The worst part of it all; however, was the dating situation. In an effort to prevent the embarrassment of having big brother do the driving for a young couple, double-dating seniors became popular with everyone except the seniors. Another idea was to stay at her house for an exciting evening of “The Rockford Files” and “Laverne and Shirley.” As those carefree days of aiming for Mrs. Caskie’s cones on the range, of trying to outsmart the mind-boggling simulator, and of cruising down the interstate at a break-neck speed of 30 miles per hour, drew to a close, the sophomores realized that the moment of truth was near. While some students rejoiced at the thought of taking the sports car into Mac’s for the first time, others woefully faced the fact that the closest they would come to a “set of wheels” was a bicycle (training wheels included, of course).

These were the generals of the court. But the success of the United Virginia Bank Tennis Classic was credited to the army of helpers who organized and ran the event. Part of this background army was the group of ballgirls and ballboys. Two sophomore girls from Freeman, Lisa LaFratta and Charlie Hyatt, were among the ranks of ballgirls. The girls were organized into eight teams of 10 people each. Lisa got involved by just signing up, since she was a Junior-ranked player. Lisa started playing tennis five years ago when her family had a clay court built. Now she is ranked 15th in the state. She hopes to use her tennis ability in the future to get a college scholarship. At the UVB tournament, Brian Gottfried was Lisa’s favorite and didn’t “treat us as inferiors.” The best part of the tournament was “when Nastase hit the ball to the top of the Coliseum and I caught the ball.” Charlie Hyatt had to apply and be tested to become a ballgirl. She had to throw balls at bull’s eyes and run across the court in a specified time. Charlie has played tennis five years also, after being inspired by Chris Evert’s win at the 1973 Wimbledon. She played in the Sam Woods tournament and also hopes for a tennis college scholarship. Her favorite player was Tom Wilkinson. “He wasn't the pro type, he was more on our level.” Charlie said, “Just being there and being able to talk and watch them play made the UVB Tennis Classic a great experience.” What a Racquet John Sims Susan Smart Beth Smith Chris Smith Practice makes perfect.

Or even foot-tapping rock-and-roll. What's this, a musician versatile enough to play all these types of music? Accomplished on the violin, piano, guitar, and bass guitar, sophomore Robert Gerszten is a very able musician. At the ripe old age of 7 years, Robert started to play the guitar. Interested in the elementary school program, Robert also took up the violin. That eventually led to his joining the Richmond Youth Symphony and the Richmond Musician’s Club. Because of his ability to play the Spanish guitar, Robert played for the Spanish booth in the International Food Fair at the Arena. At school, he still took strings and had played in All-Regional Strings and in the Apple Tree. The main gain of the 8 years of music, Robert said, is the discipline. “You've got to practice. I’m competitive and don’t want to be the worst.” Robert doesn’t plan to drop his music any time soon. First, he will play guitar for the Stage Band next year. After high school, Robert plans to minor in music at college. A place in the Richmond Symphony, and playing with a jazz band are other dreams. Sophomores 233 Jeff Abernathy John Adams Kenneth Adams Woody Aldridge 234 Freshman On Their Way From the beginning of the year, the class of ’82 was considered to have potential, but it got off to a slow start. Due to lack of funds, the class was unable to construct a homecoming float as it had intended. Jeanne Wilson was chosen to represent the class during the homecoming parade. Mary Kate McGee was elected the fourth female class president in the twenty-five year history. Working with her were Tish Gross, Vice-President; Patty Smith, Secretary; Drew Ann Waters, Treasurer; and Vicky Wray, Honor Council Representative. The class, led by its elected officers, held many money making projects to prevent financial problems in the future. With car washes, bake sales, and other fund raising projects, the baby Rebs worked devotedly to build up their treasury for their sophomore year. With the help of their sponsor, Miss Vicki O’Dell, the freshman class, which was the largest ever at Freeman, united to form an enthusiastic group. Tish Gross commented, “I knew the enthusiasm would grow after we all got adjusted to the new school.” Carla Alphin Michael Angeline David Ashman Amy Austin Billy Baker Sherry Baldwin Eileen Barrett Debbie Barshow Roy Bates Craig Beckett Travers Bernert Stacy Berry Jeb Biscoe John Bowman Curtis Boyd Chad Brandt Brian Bridgman Philip Britton Sheryl Brooks Mary Brunner Kathy Bryant Sallie Burge Monica Burton Jon Carlton Charles Carmine James Carr Sheryl Chappell Lisa Cheeley David Chewing John Clark Dorie Cofer Andy Cofus Mike Colletti zee, Smith, or an early Donald Collins Bobby Conner Katherine Conner Scott Councill Larry Crutchfield Tom Crute David Cunningham Stephen Dailey Jennifer David Steven Demm Ben Dillard Kevin Doliver Mike Dolliver Margaret Dowell Suzanne Duell Sandra Dunsing Tommy Edwards Peter Elmore Stefan Etz Kim Evans Freshman 235 We, the Freshmen, shall never forget our first day at Freeman. It was a beautiful day on the outside, but we were too afraid to notice the glorious sunshine. When we walked up the sidewalk to the main hall, we felt green. As we entered the school, the people looked so grown-up and sophisticated! Nervous as we were, we all had painted on smiles, trying to make a good impression. Maps were few and hard to find. Most of us accidentally found the right homeroom. Schedules were given out, lockers were assigned, and combinations were memorized. We felt as if our education had already begun. Finally we marched, bravely to our first class at D.S.F. It didn’t seem much different from middle school. The students seemed a little more dignified and quiet, but were the same kids I had grown up with. What! No paper wads to greet you as you came in the door? Our middle school days were truly at an end. We caught a good deal of the spirit of Freeman when we attended the first pep rally. The band played, majorettes twirled, and everyone cheered. Happiness was everywhere. What a life! Most of us had decided by this time that high school would be a lot of fun. After several football games, pep rallies, and assemblies, we began to feel at home. When “Dixie” is played, and you automatically stand up, you know the greeness has finally worn away, and one truly belongs at D. S. F. Mary Evans Sarah Fohl 236 Freshman Which Way to the Elevator?

As a freshman, Kenneth was already involved in a program called the U. S. Naval Sea Cadets. The U. S. Naval Sea Cadets had an enrollment of about sixty boys and girls ranging in age from fourteen to seventeen. There were many activities offered by the Navy League such as classes on naval matters, summer camps, and cruises. Kenneth attended seminars held every second weekend of each month from 8:00 — 4:30 at the Naval and Marine Reserve Center on Chippenham Parkway. During late summer of 1978 Kenneth attended a boot camp in Florida that was offered to all first-year cadets. There he learned many useful skills. He was taught how to fight a fire, paint ships, and other skills that the Navy teaches its recruiters. Kenneth planned to go on a cruise during the summer after his freshman year where he would specialize in a certain craft for two weeks. Afterwards he would be eligible to travel to Canada on a cadet exchange.

It sure would be a lot easier if we were at our own school.” “Having players from both schools is very beneficial and makes the teams better.” What are these students talking about? They are discussing the ninth grade athletic program at Freeman. In 1976 the area including students attending Freeman in their freshman year was enlarged. This resulted in the development of several ninth grade athletic teams at Freeman. Other teams had to be expanded to include ninth graders. Because freshmen at Byrd were given an unfair advantage by being forced to play younger teams, they had difficulties coordinating their athletic programs. Concerned fans, parents, and students investigated the problem and the only acceptable solution was to ban the Freshman together form one JV team. Therefore, any Freshman who wished to be on an athletic team was forced to board the bus and travel to Freeman for practices and games. At 3:15 when most people were leaving school many devoted athletes could be seen getting off the school bus loaded with athletic equipment, gym bags, and school books. This new program also included cheerleading so ninth grade cheerleaders were chosen from among candidates from both schools. This meant that the girls had to try out in front of the ninth grade students at Freeman even if they attended Byrd. What did the Byrd ninth graders think about this set up? Most of the students felt that all ninth graders should attend classes at Freeman and not be separated. Some felt separate teams would have allowed more students the chance to participate on a team. While others felt that valuable players from both schools increased the strength of the teams. Despite the controversies, Freshman sports were alive and successful and sure to stay. ‘The Rookie’’ Another Nadia Byrd_ Michal OS!

It was full of things that would be remembered about this year in particular—new activities, ideas and people. But it would also be remembered for the things that happened every year, that were somehow made better. We would all remember the good things that hap- pened longer than we would remember the things we complained about so often. We had to make the year special for ourselves because we could only have one chance at it. Just as we tried to make our year something special, we tried to make the silver year something to be remembered in the history of Freeman. _ Senior slumped.

Senior Robert Alphin prepares to take a jump at Wintergreen on a Saturday afternoon in January. We made the anniversary one to be remembered by changing things and making higher goals for ourselves. We had a great time making it what it was—at the homecoming float meetings, the dances or even just between classes. It was hard to forget these good times—when the snow gear appeared at the Christmas assembly, or those bliz- zard days in February when we heard “Henrico County” on the school closings list. At the risk of sounding corny, we could say these were the best days of our lives. They were our golden days in the silver year. 254 Closing : “ Greek freaks.

Spring came, term paper season ended, and the twenty-fifth year came near its end. In another month, we had obliterated all thoughts of school and studies from our minds. School clothes had been abandoned for a new uniform—a bathing suit and shorts. But had Freeman’s twenty-fifth anniversary made any mark in our minds? Was it important to all of us, or just to the few who tried to make it important? The anniversary had not been a celebration of a number, it had been a celebration of tradition, of the achievement of the school, the stu- dents, faculty, athletics, and anyone involved as a whole. The twenty- fifth year had not been “only a number.” Little Jack Horner.
