STUDENTS ....... Tot poe ee During those hot summer months with the sun beating down on your back, you knew that the sun was shining on you—especially _ on those days when you looked for- ward to English because it was in Green Acres. How about on those cloudy, cold winter days? Did you still remember that the sun was shining on you? Well it was. The sun always seemed to shine on the Rebels. In a way, the sun helped tie the Rebels to Freeman by shining on Homework, spirit, jobs, or whatever. The sun helped things grow, and the Rebels were growing all the time. People Music man. Senior Tom Links slides out a few notes on the trombone during the Hermitage pep rally. It Gave Time For Activities ... were making new friends, joining sororities and fraternities, and foreign language clubs. Every day, changes took place. With the sun shining on us, we were able to see the changes and make the necessary adjustments. Remember how Key Club and Interact debated over the escorting of princesses for Homecoming? The sun couldn't do these things by itself, but it did help us see the way. So regardless of rain or shine, there was always a special sun shining on the Rebels which never seemed to slow down their many activities. A new day. With mixed emotions, students unload the buses in anticipation of the day's classes and activities. at haa Bhai The sun always seems to shine on student life, giving time for activities outside of school and homework. Have you ever won- dered just how other Rebels occupied their spare time? For some, after school jobs took up a lot of their time. Pumping gas or selling clothes, both jobs meant a big jump towards responsibility. Just as impor- tant was that ever glorious pay- check. When pay day rolled: around, the money often went towards a date, a concert, or something that you felt you deserved. However great or small, the money always came in handy. Some acked to the stage to take part in either Stunt Talent Night or the school plays. Whether they were on stage, make- up, lights, costume, or direct- ing, they all played an equally important part in its production. Many students spent their spare time developing an interest _ or a hobby. They ranged from the ordinary such as painting or singing to some things very out of the ordinary. At any rate, it was the interest of that per- son and it was something they truly enjoyed. Stil, many Rebels spent their time the best way possible — with friends. Boyfriends, girlfriends, and best friends — all were equally important. Whenever you had a: problem they were there to listen at least. They went to football games, the movies, and parties with you, and you soon discovered that life without friends would be impossible. So the sun really did shine on the student life of the Rebels providing time and opportunities to get the most fun we could out of life. Spirited Rebels.

Student Life 7 A Giant Step Forward As junior marshals Courtney Reid and Richard Orazi led the senior class towards the Robins Center steps, an ‘ atmosphere of excitement flashed a through the crowd. Friends and ees relatives scanned the long line of seniors searching for a familiar face. The seniors felt an air of importance as they were the guests of honor and the center of attention. Graduate Jill Hillmar said, “It was great and the Robins Center made it seem bigger and more important!” The Robins Center proved to be an excellent spot for the graduation exercises when rain was predicted. After class president Rick Batten gave a welcome speech, the Concert Choir sang “You Give to Me,” which was composed and directed by Deen Entsminger. Valedictorian Tom Spangler talked on “The Demand of Yesterday,” followed by Honor Council Representative Anna Morris, whose speech was titled “Joyful with the Sense of Becoming.” Spectators agreed that one of the high points of the ceremony was Bill Esposito’s acceptance of his diploma. Bill Esposito, an outstanding football player, was seriously injured during the 1977 season. Several parents stated that tears came to their eyes as he received the diploma. While reminiscing about the past and anticipating the future, the seniors nervously accepted their diplomas. Although graduation marked the end of high school, adulthood and the rest of their lives lay ahead for the gra duates. Waiting for the big moment.

Seniors Anna Monis and Tom Spangler proudly lead the graduating class into the Robins Center. Graduation 9 In the Summer Breeze The freedom brought by a few short months of warm weather enabled Rebels to neglect school work and begin their eagerly awaited summer vacation. Whether they spent time in the country, Virginia Beach, Kings Dominion, the pool, or at baseball games, students participated in many varied activities that filled their days. A break in the routine schedule allowed time for the planning of trips. A popular plan was for friends to meet at the beach during the week after graduation. This week was a time to get away from home life and school work and enjoy the sun and the beach. Although the gas shortage often altered and shortened plans, students also traveled with their families, visiting places across the country and world. Several French students visited France and England during the summer with Miss Carolyn Baker. Yet others enjoyed a week or two at Myrtle Beach or Nags Head with their families. Summer was not all carefree and easy living. Excuses such as too much homework no longer prevailed when mothers requested that lawns be mowed. Rebels who wished to apply for part-time jobs temporarily became secretaries, lifeguards, and other occupations. Some founds jobs as lifeguards at area pools or worked for a substitution lifeguard service. Other Rebels worked at Regency Square, at the Country Club of Virginia, and at local businesses. As school time approached, people began preparing for the end of their vacations and the beginning of another school year. Students had to leave many of their summer time activities and pastimes behind and adjust once again to their school work. ‘ ao y Home run king.

While showing new students the hallways in the school, SCA Big Brother and Sister, Brian Farmer and Beth Jones, tell of upcoming school events. A Fresh Start A few days before school started, new students piled into the humid auditorium for the orientation program. After being told of their responsibilities as high school students, the freshmen and sophomores toured the school with their SCA Big Brothers and Sisters. “It was great to He able to help others like I was helped when | was new,” stated Big Sister Teresa Tyler. Despite the h ot summer temperatures, the first day of school arrived. Once in the un-airconditioned rooms, Rebels wished that school had not started quite so soon. Yet the experience of seeing old friends helped to ease the agony of the sweltering temperatures. With the orientation behind them, the new Rebel felt somewhat at ease, but the complicated halls still caused some apprehension. With the aid of the Big Brothers and Sisters and with maps of the school gripped tightly in their hands, the new students attempted to get to class on time. Although sometimes feelin younger and inexperienced, the excitement of high school was evident in the faces of the new students. “At the beginning of high school, | realized that everyone had a more mature attitude about school, and this made me feel more at ease,” stated freshman Sarah Hastings. The SCA New Student Committee gave the new junior and senior students a party after school to help them meet other people in their classes. They were then introduced to outstanding students in the school and were told of school activities in which they could participate. Learning of the opportunities that were available for them, the new students gained more confidence in themselves. The anticipation of involvement in clubs and in classes and the acceptance of upperclassmen helped in lessening the hesitation of getting back to the school routine. a Gathering of the Rebels. New and old students gather on the first day of school in the gym for the Welcome Back Assembly. Orientation First Day 13 A Welcome Home Victory As their dates were reaching for car keys, frantic girls made quick trips between the bathroom and bedroom while preparing for the Homecoming Dance. The Homecoming Dance also proved to be a Victory Dance because the Rebels crushed the Armstrong- Kennedy football team the night before. The dance and the parade had kept Rebels on their toes and made the Homecoming weekend more memorable. Hi-Y awarded the best decorated homeroom with free tickets for every student in that class. Princesses searched weeks before the game for the perfect outfit to be worn. The Sophomore Class built up their spirit as they wore special clothes for designated days during the week of Homecoming. “Liquid Pleasure” buttons had been passed among the student body to arouse interest in the dance and the band. Posters covered the walls encouraging the sale of tickets which were circulated by clubs and organizations. FATS decorated the dance with the talents of many art students. Hours and hours had been demanded of devoted club members for the construction of the homecoming floats. Each organization elected a princess to represent it and to ride on the carefully constructed floats and decorated cars. At half time, a gasp of excitement was heard from senior Jennifer Penley, the new Maid of Honor, as she was crowned by the 1978 Queen, Ginger Heflin. The excited crowd was then hushed for the announcement of the Homecoming Queen. SCA President, David Wu, temporarily broke the tension when he announced, “The envelope, please.” Seconds later, senior Ann Green was hugging her father and Mr. Anthony and was surrounded by friends who wished to congratulate her. Freeman alumni, present students, and faculty were pleased about the Rebels’ victory over the Armstrong- Kennedy Jaguars. For many seniors, the weekend marked their final homecoming as students at Freeman, and they looked forward to their future Homecomings as alumni of Freeman.

All of a sudden, flag girls, cheerleaders, and color guards burst out on the floor waving flags, clapping to the music, and twirling batons. There were Rebel flags all over and huge posters on the wall. After the band finished, the co-captains of the football team gave hopeful team talks. More cheers and music followed. Then we had the class competition cheer. | thought that we sounded loud at first, but next to the older classes, we lacked expertise. Near the end of the pep rally, the band aroused the student body with the spirited beat of “Dixie” and again the crowd went wild. Then the swarm of people hesitantly left the stands and went to their fifth period classes. Even though I was hoarse and perspiring, I felt like I was finally a part of Freeman, a Rebel. Got to go.

Spirit Pep Rallies 17 Fall Friendships Flourish As the weather got colder, Freeman a students pulled out their warm clothes and prepared for an activity filled season — Fall. For the student s, autumn was a time for associating with friends. Many participated in sport events while others cheered the team on to victory. Rebels became occupied with school work and school activities. Others found enjoyment in their extra- curricular activities. Fall brought football games causing students to anxiously await Friday evenings. Other students found time to play football on Sunday afternoons with groups of friends. The fall encompassed many decisions that would have a great influence on individuals. For sorority and fraternity members and pledgers, the fall marked rush parties, embarrassing pledging, and hell week. For others, the fall brought thoughts of college and careers. Seniors visited different colleges in hope of finding the special one. Hours were spent on college applications and SATS. Outside of school, Rebels found activities to fill their spare time. Some raked leaves to either gain money for themselves or to help the community. Many churches planned retreats and Halloween carnivals. While many students spent their Thanksgivings at home, others traveled to relatives’ homes to celebrate that special day. Clubs at Freeman spent the fall in various ways. Rebelettes IV held a masquerade party with Key Club and also visited the Little Sisters of the Poor to celebrate Halloween. Many Young Life participants spent a weekend at Skyland Lodge on the Skyline Drive. The individual classes planned and worked on Homecoming floats. All of these activities helped students to have fun while getting settled into the school routine. Rebels were able to make new friends and enrich their already formed friendships Busy Raker.

Snow forecasts were always welcomed with open ears as this was a possible opportunity for a day off from school. Many Rebels found a warm change by attending basketball games on bleak evenings or tennis matches at the Richmond Coliseum. Others were perfectly content to sit in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot chocolate. Winter brought with it many anxious- ly awaited holidays. Christmas and Hanukkah allowed many social events with both friends and family. Dances and special parties accompanied these holidays. A finishing touch to the holiday season was New Years Eve. That night allowed people to reflect upon the past year and anticipate the coming year in a festive atmosphere. Skiing encouraged many daring students to the slopes of Wintergreen and Massannutten. Either individually or with groups of friends, beginners and experts attempted to master the slopes. Rebels anticipated the Winter Olympics which were held in the United States. Many found time between home- work to watch the athletes on television. Snow was greatly welcomed by the majority of students. With snow falls ranging from two inches to fourteen inches, students were able to relax for a day or two from the school work. The “Great Snowfall” of mid-January provided a time for the neighborhood “gang” to have snow battles and even snow ice cream. While many students enjoyed the frosty weather, others yearned for the warm, sunny days of summer. � The people, though, were able to compromise as the winter was both mild and harsh. Snurfing U.S.A.

A th te aba: Winter 21 With a Royal Touch Stunt Talent Night will long be remembered for its creativity and uniqueness. Presented by the Junior class in early March, the theme for Stunt Talent Night was “A Freeman Rebel in King Arthur’s Court.” Loosely based on Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,” the juniors’ Stunt Talent Night was the first to have a medieval theme. One tradition was broken when Angel Pate was chosen as the first female director of the show. With her assistant, Ann Kelly, she ran the production efficiently. Other changes were made to the overall scheme of Stunt Talent Night. The story became more drama oriented with greater emphasis placed on humor. Commented assistant director Ann Kelly, “We worked hard on making the story just as interesting as the acts.” By allowing all the juniors that were interested a chance to get involved with the show, the class hoped to put on an excellent performance. Because of their extra workers, the set was made in great detail. Director of Stunt Talent Night, Angel Pate, said, “We hoped to make our production the best ever through the support and spirit of the juniors.” For the first time ever, Stunt Talent Night was recorded for post- erity using a video tape machine. Perhaps future Freeman students will watch the film and wonder if the performers at Stunt Talent Night ever became stars. Warming Up.

Can | borrow the car today?” Students often pleaded similar words to their parents. While the majority of students rode the bus to school, many seniors and some juniors drove cars every day. “I like to drive when the car’s available. I don’t have to rush to the bus, and I can stop for breakfast at Hardee’s if I have time,” commented junior Bitsy Joynes. Belonging to school clubs was made easier if one could drive to school. Some people rode mopeds to school even in the winter while others rode bicycles. Riding a bike to school on a brisk morning saved money be- cause no gas was needed. The stu- dents living near the school usually walked, though many, including some teachers, felt that Three Chopt Road was one of the most dangerous roads in Henrico to cross in the mornings and afternoons. Those who rode the buses often waited for the bus on icy cold days in the winter and rainy warm days in the spring. Sometimes a nice neighbor would allow them to stand under his porch for shelter. Through all types of weather, Freeman students traveled back and forth by different means of trans- portation. Some rode the school bus, others walked, and others drove their cars.

Rebels were influenced polit- ically and socially by the events happening around them. Because of the Iranian Crisis, Rebels were forced to alter their lifestyles. The Shah had sought medical attention in the United States, and the Iranian students took over the American embassy in Iran. They held over fifty hostages. Because of this, gas prices rose and gas consumption fell. Many Rebels dreaded the long gas lines and some found solutions to the problem by buying smaller cars and mopeds. Lake Placid, New York provided the location for the Winter Olympics. In response to the Russian invasion of Afganistan, Countries planned to move the summer Olympics from Moscow to an alternate site unless Russia left Afghanistan. Memorable events for Freeman students ranged from universal to personal events. Sky Lab’s unpred- ictable fall in the summer caused both apprehension and excitement. The pope’s visit in the fall brought some students to see him in Washing- ton, D. C. Other students began campaigning for the upcoming Presi- 26 Memories dential election in the fall. Many students would remember a special friend or the Homecoming Dance or the first day of school or a first job ... Many school events highlighted the year. Not many students will forget the walkie talkies that the principals kept in the back pockets nor will they forget the assembly in which Michael Broome spoke. Others will remember the ice cream for lunch and the Rebel beach towels sold by the Senior Class. The winter portion of the school year was supplemented by an enormous amount of snow. Over a week of school was lost due to the snow fall. Fashions of the year were both classic and faddish. Many girls were satisfied with crew neck sweaters and wool skirts while others chose fashion jeans and boucle sweaters. Blazers often topped these outfits and clogs covered the feet of many girls. Boys were content in their jeans and khakis with either a sweater or sweat shirt. From the freshman to the senior, some event would remain in their minds concerning 1979-1980. That event may have been a personal victory — passing a class, or a pol- itical event — an election. La mode.

Rebels found it necessary to spend time with their friends. Other stu- dents offered their time and services to the community. Students filed out of DSF to jobs in various fields all over the city. Time, too, was given to hobbies, which served as a relax- ation from the hard work at school. This free time was a time to get away from the school work and to do some- thing that was truly enjoyed. Rebels spent most of their spare time with their friends. Some friends came and went but the true friends were there when they were needed. Many went to parties with “the gang” while others filled their Friday and Saturday nights at a movie with a bunch of their friends. Girls especially liked going to a Sunday afternoon tearjerker movie with a bunch of their friends so that they could cry as much as they wanted. 4 A quick chat. Between their classes, seniors Billy _.. for Friends Neighborhood friends joined together on weekend afternoons to play a friendly game of football. Some groups met after work for pizza or headed to the Biograph Theater for their third or fourth viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight. Many times a special girl or boy was a best friend, always willing to listen or just be there. Couples went to football and basketball games, even to Richmond Rifles’ hockey games. School dances and sorority dances provided highlights to holidays and special seasons. Sometimes couples doubled dated with their close friends. Many were just happy to watch television at home. True friendship was very important. Owing rides and money was only a small part of friendship. Understanding and concern willingly given were often needed during hard times. Friends were always there with a shoulder to lean on or an open ear for difficulties. Chappell and Catherine Hastings discuss their plans for the upcoming weekend. 28 Friends A Thanksgiving feast.

Jobs 31 Finding time Outside of school, many generous Rebels were busy giving up their pre- cious time for others. Volunteer work filled several hours during the week. Because they were helping others, Rebels knew that their time was well spent. Many students with medical careers in mind found volunteer work in hospitals and in rescue squads good experience for themselves while giving their time for others. Candy stripers dedicated their time at area hospitals delivering flowers, discharging patients, and just making people feel better during a hospital stay. Some specialized and gave their time to rescuing people in emergencies with area rescue squads.

Many people gave time by singing in choirs, playing handbells, or raising money for needy funds with youth groups. Many participated in caroling at convalescent centers and carnivals for UNICEF with the church. School clubs often showed concern for the community as well. The boys’ service clubs and Rebelettes donated their time for different charities and organizations throughout the year. Human kindness prevailed, leaving warm feelings for all involved. Smiles seen on the recipients’ faces usually were their only reward. Music makers. Members of Trinity United Methodist Church handbell choir practice their pieces for church on a Thursday afternoon.

Community 33 Finding lime After the school work was finished, Rebels found time to use their talents and creativities in many different hobbies. No matter what the hobby was, it was special to each person as it was an opportunity to express himself whether on the basketball court or at an easel. Releasing the school day’s unused energy, many Rebels participated in a sport during their afternoons. Their hobby often played a dual pur- pose as exercise and as pleasure. From swimming to racquetball, jogging to gymnastics, Rebels were challenged physically and mentally. They were temporarily able to forget government tests and term papers on Shakespeare’s tragedies. Rebels with aesthetic tastes found an outlet for their special talents in the forms of music, paint- ing, writing, and singing. With these, students could express them- selves through a Stravinsky violin concerto, impressionistic art, free Back to the drawing board. Sophomore Conner Clarke perfects his mechanical drawing skills. 34 Hobbies _.. for Hobbies style poetry, or even a punk rock band. Other students enjoyed read- ing, which offered a different kind of escape from the hectic day at school. No matter what the hobby was, it indeed was an enjoyed activity. Hobbies fulfilled many human needs from the spiritual to the aesthetic to the athletic. They often could be done as an individual or with groups of friends. Rebels found time for their extra- curricular activities by squeezing them in between their priorities to the school. Although school played a big part in the lives of Freeman students, outside activities were, of course, very necessary. Many students used their spare time for constructive activities, but most felt true relaxation by coming home, kicking off their shoes, fixing a Dr. Pepper, and watching “Leave it to Beaver.” A quick touch up.

If you had trouble answering any of these questions, you now know why English is a required course throughout high school. Freshman English gets down to the basics of good grammar, while at the same time, it introduces many of the different forms of literature. Sophomores go into greater depth in the areas o literature and composition. They study Knowles, Twain, and Shakespeare and work to perfect their creative writing techniques. Juniors study American literature all year long and learn to write a research paper. The authors include Hawthome, Poe, Ir- ving, Cooper, and Steinbeck. As stu- dents grow in years, they grow in their knowledge of world literature. Study- ing primarily British writers, Seniors learn about the world’s greats — Chau- cer, Dickens, and Shakespeare. As the years sPIDSTe ee less emphasis was placed on grammar. By the time grad- uation rolled around all Rebels had had a tantalizing taste of the English language and literature.

If you took Consumer Math, taught by Ms. Stone, the answer to this problem would be evident to you. Consumer Math taught the students the math principles necessary in today’s world of inflation. The basic math courses, Math 9 through Calculus, were taught by 13 full-time and one part-time teachers. Mrs. Brock, department chairman, said, “A lot of people want to take the higher maths.” This was shown by the fact that five classes of Trigonometry and Math Analysis and two classes of Calculus, normally a college course, were taught. As an aid in todays modern age, Computer Math was also offered as an elective. All of these courses helped to prepare Rebels for college and for the real world in which math calculations would have to come quickly and easily — remember that when you get a 58 on your next test.

History 45 Pleasant Surprise If you’re one of those people who never liked history, maybe you should explore some of the social study electives offered at Freeman. Three courses are given, including Psychology, Sociology, and Twentieth Century History. The first of these, Psychology, taught by Mr. Cover, enables the individual to study the behavior patterns of others. What people do and why they do them form the basis of the class. For example, why people smoke or why they scream and yell when they're angry are “covered” during the course of the year. In addition to class lectures and case studies, students are given the opportunity to visit a mental ward during the second semester. Sociology, taught by Mrs. Owings, may be categorized with psychology in that it includes the relationship of human behavior to society. One learns how the cultural aspects of foreign countries depend upon their upbringing and ways of life. The en- vironment’s effect on civilization constitutes a major part of the course. Last but not least is Twentieth Century History, taught by Mr. McNally. By learning of fairly recent world events from World War II to today, the student is able to relate better with the importance of history as an academic subject. He is able to view the world in which he now lives, instead of learning about the past civilizations of Ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt. So ... if you always thought history a bore, try one or all three of these classes. You have nothin to lose, and you might even be tes santly surprised. Taking shorthand.

Answer: 6.02 x 1023 Question: Who cares? Answer: Students of chemistry care. Science courses provided much more for students to care about. Biology allowed students to unravel the mysteries of life with biology labs which took the student from the lowest amoeba to the most complex animals. Other science students armed with calculators, tackled chemistry and physics. These students went on a 36 week mission to seek out new answers and to boldly learn what they had never known before. Knowledge was acquired with the help of books, labs, teachers, and hard work. During the year, periodical tables were frequently referred to as Rebel chemists mixed compounds together and balanced unbalanced equations. Labs often became frustrating experiences for students whose measurements always seemed to be different from everyone else’s. Rebel physicists spent their time trying to comprehend the fundamentals of today’s advanced theories or frantically punching numbers int o their calculators in their search for answers. Mother Nature, of course, had many questions to answer; enough, in fact, to keep Rebel scientists busy for a long time to come. Miss Vickie O’Dell Oy.

But this was easier said than done. For most students, learning a new language was something that took getting used to. Obstacles were everywhere. After learning the alphabet, the real work began. Conjugating verbs was the main grammar exercise. The real brain teasers were the irregular verbs which have six different spellings. Next to be tackled were the formations of negatives, questions, commands, future and past tenses. When a student had mastered all of these, there was still the ever-present accent mark, which, if misplaced, took off a few precious points on tests and quizzes. For each of these drawbacks, however, there were also advantages. Students were introduced to literature of other countries. Crepe tasting was a much enjoyed activitiy in French. More importantly, however, was that students got a chance to learn more about other cultures. As Spanish III student Stewart Craig remarked, “I took Spanish so that I could learn about different peoples and cultures and thereby enrich my life.” A connoisseur of fine wine?

English, A Second language “Ein Deutcher ist intelligent, or- ganizert und froh happir,” said German teacher Mrs. Chance. This means, “A German student is intell- igent, organized, and happy.” First through fifth year German courses were offered at Freeman and taught by Mrs. Chance this year. The language fundamentals were studied by first-year students. Reading and speaking their favorite language was emphasized to the second and third year classes, while fourth and fifth year students learned about twentieth century German authors and culture. Included in the students “studies” were trips to Washington and Busch Gardens, and Octoberfest celebration and a visit by German dancers. Due to a lack of demand for Latin, Mr. Moore taught all classes. Latin students worked their way from the basic fundamentals through Mythology and World Study. Many of our Latin students earned awards at the Junior Classical League convention in Roanoke. Other extracurricular act- ivities included Ludi Romani, at the University of Richmond, a Bryan Park picnic, and participation in the annual foreign language banquet. Junior Lorrie Bryant probably wasn’t talking about her Latin studies when she said, “Vita Vinum est.” (Wine is Life).

Students at Douglas Freeman High School in Richmond won two hundred thousand dollars from the Stock Exchange! Freeman Business Economics students participated in a moot Stock Market at VCU with other students in the county. On this unit of the business class, taught by Mrs. Barbara Haynes, all students were grouped into com- peting teams. The teams invested, decided whether or not to sell or buy, and sent their estimates to the Richmond Times Dispatch and the Wall Street Journal. In about two weeks they received a report on how they compared with other groups. This unit was only part of the year’s fun and after the final week, the team with the most stock won one hundred dollars and appeared at an Awards banquet. The purpose of this project was best described by Mrs. Barbara Haynes, “Students recognize that after buying and selling stock they take many risks.” Another business course taught was for advanced Beginning Typing. This course was for students who had taken Personal Typing. Beginning Typing introduced the students to the fundamentals of typing. Beginning Accounting explored the aspects of handling finances. Clerk Typing I and II and Stenography I and 54 Business The Key to Success : II are block classes taught by Mrs. Epps and Mrs. Wilbourne. In the block class system, the students learned shorthand, advanced typing, and office machine operations. The business department was the only department in the Henrico County School System that allowed the students to spend a day in their working field of interest around Richmond. Intro- duction to Business explored the different aspects of insurance, banking, and investment counselling. On an annual field trip, students visited the Bank of Virginia head- quarters. Visiting lawyers, trips to moot courts at the University of Richmond and a trip to the County Court House to see a real court hearing at the circuit court were all part of the Business Law class taught at Freeman. A moot court was also held in class where students were judges and jury. “The purpose of the course,” according to Mrs. Barbara Haynes, “is to let students know when they have a legal problem and how to avoid difficult legal situations.” The Business teachers tried to stress the importance of a business career to their classes. Summing up the Business courses, Mrs. Wilbourne said, “Business is really fun when you understand its principles.” And another thing ...

That is what happened as Freeman students took special courses at the Hermitage Vo-Tech center. Each day the seniors left Freeman in route to Hermitage at 8:45 and returned after third period. The juniors left in the afternoon and remained there until time to go home. To make up for the tremendous disadvantage of missing classes and activities at Freeman, the Vo-Tech center had to offer some- thing special, and it did. Vocation- al courses ranged from air condition- ing to electronics to cosmetology. More modern and more advanced equip- ment were extra advantages in the Vo-Tech program. In the automotive courses, students worked on cars to perfect their skills before trying their hand in the real stuff. Electronics students wired mock houses while horticulture students planted and grew and studied plants. Through these activities, Vo-Tech students gained valuable experience which prepared them for their future careers. As Vo-Tech student Tom Lincks remarked, “Any vocational course is worth taking. All vocational courses open many doors in the world of work or further education.” Grease Monkies.

Weren’t you surprised, girls, when you walked in and found out half of your Home Economics class were boys? Many young-men-of-the-world realized that everyone needs to be a homemaker, and they slowly pushed aside the old male ideals and found themselves sewing and cooking in preparation for future life. The Home Ec classes were taught by Mrs. Verna Sanger and Mrs. Shirley Wells. Their main goal was to train students as homemakers by developing skills necessary for family living or independent single living. Students were able to take classes suited to their future plans. Single living classes were crowded with young men and women planning to stay independent at least a little longer. The Home and Family Living class prepared students for co-habitational living, a “Major necessity in life.” Child development and Home Management classes were also open to all. The field trips ranged from visiting a Safeway Store warehouse to touring the Swift Creak-Mill Playhouse. The Home and Family Living Class ran a play school for three and four year olds. “But the thing I look forward to most is the mock wedding,” said senior Betty Turner. One of the benefits of taking Home Economics was becoming a member of the Future Homemakers of America. Monthly meetings in class featured speakers from the community. The highlights of the year were the FHA cookouts and covered dish dinners and a field trip to the White House and Mount Vernon. The study of home management and co-habitational or independent living proved to be important for all students whatever their future plans. He obviously goofed.

Well, while you were wishing, a some Rebels were doing something about it by utilizing their creative talents in art courses. After students were introduced to the various paints and brushes, the art work began. The colors of the rainbow blossomed on the canvas as artistic Rebels strove for the perfect painting. Plaster and clay were transformed into three dimensional works of art by talented sculptors. The basics of design were also emphasized in art class to help students recognize the different forms of art in everyday life. Jewelry class allowed creative students to design and make their own jewelry and metal pieces. More advanced artists were given more freedom of expression in Directed Independent Study. Art teacher Susan Bright explained, “Directed Independent Study is for a student who, after taking an art course, decides to work independently in that same course.” Experimentation in different art techniques was encouraged in all art courses. With all this creative energy, the halls of the Louvre were only a few steps away. Move over Picasso, roll over Van Gough; here come the Rebels to steal the show! A pocket full of posy.

Sing out the songs! These thoughts and actions were on the minds of the students who participated in the musical world at D.S.F. Rex Britton, Deen Entsminger, and Hunter Purdie explored the wide range of musical variety with their students. Mr. Purdie was the supervisor of the marching band, which provided entertainment and promoted spirit at football games and participated in parades. Led by drum majors Connie Norris and Doug Walker, the band also competed, as in the past, with other schools around the state in festivals. The members were taught marching techniques and music fundamentals, during morning, evening and fourth period practices. They practiced their skills in the Tobacco Parade and proved their talent by placing third in their division. Second period stage band, also under Mr. Purdie’s supervision, played with more of a big band sound. The group was much smaller and more skilled than the marching band. To start off the year the stage band gave a concert for the area elementary school children just learning to play instruments. The string class, directed by Mr. Rex Britton, was composed of students interested in orchestra and string instruments. According to Mr. Britton “We have a very talented string class and fine musicians who will be performing through many years.” Mr. Britton himself plays the violin for the Richmond Symphony. The Guitar class was another string class offered for students this year, but this one was taught by Mr. Purdie, the first teacher to be hired at Freeman. Concert choir, girls ensemble, and chamber ensemble were all directed by Mr. Entsminger. The Downbeats, an independent group made up of nine girls and an accompanist were also under the supervision of Mr. Ensminger. They performed popular music for women’s clubs, elementary schools, and even at the Tobacco Festival Pageant. Senior Courtney Reid explained, “We were responsible for picking and rehearsing all the music. Then we performed every other week and even more during Chri stmas time.” A special treat for all the choral groups this year was planning a trip to tour with other choral groups from the U.S. Students and teachers alike seemed to enjoy the continuous work of these departments to add a little music to the halls of Freeman. 62 Music Royal Salute.

Whistle While You Work Although some students took pic- tures with a Kodac Instamatic Camera, there were a few Rebels who wanted to become more skilled and use a Nikon. They did improve their tech- niques by taking a photography course offered by the Industrial Arts Department. Other courses in- cluded electronics, Mechanical Drawing, Architecture, Woodworking, to name a few. Rebels had various reasons for taking Industrial Arts courses. Some Rebels took courses to get a basic idea about certain areas of work. On the other hand, some students filled their schedules with Industrial Arts courses, because they felt it would be a “relaxing” period. Sandy Leo said, “Basic Drafting class was helpful to anyone interested in the development of homes and machinery. You learned how to overcome prob- lems and setting up house plans.” The number of students involved in industrial Arts was continually growing. One of the greatest increases came in the Architecture class. The reason for the growth was because graduated seniors had recommended this course to under- classmen. Other popular classes included photography and woodworking. Mr. Wheeler commented, “I think the Industrial Arts department was the best organized department in school.” Industrial Arts 65 Braker 19 ...

Sophomore Donna Dallas commented, “Although a few students did not have the knowledge of how to start the car, most of the problem resulted from the students who became nervous because of the presence of the teacher.” After starting the engines, some students began driving for the first time. They practiced turning, stop- ping, parking, and other driving techniques on the range. On other days, they worked with the simulators and read from driver's education book. For the students who were al- ready sixteen and old enough to get their license, the semester seemed like an eternity. Yet, after passing the exam, a student could go to the DMV and take his driver’s test if he had completed “On the road” with an instructor. How would our new drivers perform on their own? Mr. Harper said, “I think they will be good drivers over- all, even though modern drivers are becoming more careless.” Mr. Harper took over Mr. Sangston’s classes when he assumed the position of ass- istant principal. Many Rebels agreed that one of the major causes for fre- quent accidents among our new drivers came from the student’s overconfidence.

The driver became careless, and h e ended up in an accident. Although only a few Rebels will have an accident, it could be anyone. The sophomores had passed one important milestone in their lives. Although getting a driver’s license was the first of many milestones that would occur, the freedom and responsibility was enough to satisfy them for awhile. 66 Driver's Education Mrs. Margaret Caskie Drivers Education: Rebelettesl; Safety Club.

Ten minutes was how long the students in P.E. Classes had to change clothes and race to the boys gym before they were counted tardy. Although the boys did not have any problems with the short time period, many of our young lady Rebels found it quite dif- ficult to make it to class on time. On warmer days when the sun was shining, gym class was one of the most appreciated periods of the day. Sometimes it was even sunny enough for the students to “work” on their tans. However, when the cold winter set in, some students became very annoyed because they had to change clothes two more times a day. Again the boys and girls took gym together. Physical education was not just changing clothes and exercising. They also had health built in around a certain amount of gym. Part of the program consisted of first aid for the freshman, and consumer health for sophomores. The classes alternated having physical education and health with different teachers. Mrs. Rawls said, “I think the students enjoyed P.E. more be- cause they are allowed to trade off teachers, which gave the students more variety than in the past.” Some of the physical education sports included basketball, tennis, volleyball, and softball. Students usually had their choice of which sport they wanted to participate in. At the end of the year, the sopho- mores ran an obstacle course as part of their exam.

Many new Freemen Rebels were interested in finding out their names. As soon as the new students found their seats at orientation, the names became known, for head principal Mr. Richard Anthony intro- duced himself along with the assis- tant principals Mr. Daryl Farley, Mr. Ray Long, Mr. Bill Long, and Mr. Jim Sangston. Mr. Sangston assumed the position of assistant principal until Mrs. Martha Collier was able to take the job after the birth of her baby boy. Mr. Ray Long said, “Mrs. Collier was a good addition to the Fresh- man class.” Not only did she handle any freshman problems, but she also was placed in charge of the art and English departments and student activities. Mr. Farley took care of the sophomores, attendance, park- ing, and the social studies depart- ment. Mr. Bill Long kept his eye on the juniors, while he also worked on schedules. Last but not least, Mr. Ray Long was in charge of the seniors, the maintenance of the building, buses, and the drivers and physical education departments, from his new office in Green Acres. When the first pep rally was held, the new students realized what an outstanding administration they had. The returning students had informed them of the principals’ interest in the school and Mr. Anthony's first pep talk reinforced that idea. He closed with a famous reiterated statement, “Freeman is still one of the best schools in the state.” What bus please?

Their significance was often forgotten, yet we never would have made it through the year without them. Guidance affairs were the same as in past years, but the matters were approached differently. The guidance counselors were mainly concerned with the class scheduling for the rising students and college preparation for juniors and seniors. Mrs. Joyce Ti- dey commented that her main concern lay in communications between the school, the students, and their par- ents. At the beginning of the year, she sent home a flyer informing the parents of Back-To-School Night. “Byrd Brains?” No, they are Rebels preparing for an oral report in the quiet atmosphere of the magazine room. The library also aided the students in many ways. The materials and the librarians were available all year long for the students, use in reports, term papers, and general knowledge.

Actually, the cashier was only asking for .65 cents, the standard price for a hot school lunch. Food Glorious While the rest of the world was just waking from its slumber, the cafeteria workers were already busily working at preparing the day’s lunch. The students bought their meals in the forms of tray and bag lunches. The varieties of lunch lines aided in making lunch a lot easier for the workers and less time consuming for the student body. Although the lunch period was relatively short for the students, it did not end until the late afternoon for the cafeteria workers. Mrs. Bright, the cafeteria manager, mentioned that the newest item was the sale of ice cream, which made a big hit with the students earlier in the year. She said, “The work is hard, and it is continuous and steady.” Yet the cafeteria workers were not the only ones working early in the mornings. The custodial staff labored from dawn to dusk as it has for many years. They worked in a combination of two shifts — the day shift, which lasted from seven to three, and the night shift, which lasted from three to eleven-thirty. Edward Cox, who has been here since August, commented that the staff is easy to work with. “They are very cooperative,” he said. Roosevelt Purvis also enjoyed his crew, the students, and the work at Freeman. Their labor, combined with that of the cafeteria workers, kept the school in great shape and made life at school a lot more bearable for all of us. Family portrait. Even though the custodial staff was often hidden from the students view, they made school life a lot easier for everyone. Food Janitors 77 Everybody, including teachers, has something he or she enjoys doing when they have a spare moment, wheth- er it is skiing, hiking, or just plain goofing around. Some of the teachers at our fair school have hobbies that may surprise you. If for some reason you like to play practical jokes on people, it would be advisable to keep your distance from Mr. David Cover. Our school psychology teacher is a third degree black belt in karate and has been known to break through two cinder blocks with a single blow. For the past ten years Mr. Cover has taught classes at Highland Springs two nights a week. Psychologi- cally, karate builds up one’s self- confidence and greatly strengthens one’s self-esteem. Did you ever realize that there are two hundred year old houses still standing? Typing teacher Mrs. Haynes and her husband are the proud owners of just such a house. It is a white clapboard house built in 1738 and located in Madison County. The old style farmhouse has many interesting features such as an enclosed staircase and an out building for the kitchen and dining room. But the house also has some fascinating historical features such as withstanding a near attack during the Civil War, and inheritance through the women of a family from which Mr. Haynes descends. The Haynes now feel so comfortable with the house that they spend their summer vacation playing pioneers. Not many people are brave enough to fly in a small plane much less fly one. Biology teacher Mrs. Foard began taking lessons this fall because Moonlighting for fun her husband is a pilot and she wanted to be able to take over in case of an emergency. She is taking the pinch- hitter course which involves flying, navigating, and handling the radio. She is also a member of the Civil Air Patrol. When she and her husband fly they usually rent a plane and fly out of Byrd or Chesterfield Airport. Mrs. Foard intends to keep up with her flying but doesn’t plan to get her pilot’s license although she explains, “I am convinced that flying is safer than driving.” Art teacher Mrs. Susan Bright spends her free time at Willow Oaks Country Club where this summer she will become a member of the 18 holer group. Mrs. Bright got involved in golf to avoid being left home when her husband, Coach Drew Bright, would go to play golf. Mrs. Bright stuck to golf because she enjoys being close to nature and she can play golf by herself. Not all of our teachers have such exciting hobbies but all of them keep their free time well occupied. Many of our teachers spend their afternoons jogging or playing with their children. Part of faculty spend their evening at Mr. Venturino’s house playing pool and enjoying each others company. A few of the more swinging members of our faculty would “Buzz on down to the Beehive Lounge” for dancing and good food. For the teachers who just couldn’t tear themselves away from the school atmosphere, they would take or teach evening classes. So you see ... teachers do have lives too.

The season proved to be a good one for the Rebels as they finished with a 14-0-1 record which was good enough for a first place in the district. The golfers then placed second in the region and seventh in the state tourn- aments. When asked about the team’s most exciting match, Junior Paul Copeland said, “We didn’t have any tough matches last year.” Freeman’s one tie came against the Panthers of Hermitage, at Laurel Golf Club. According to Paul, Freeman should have won this match. Approximately twenty-five people tried out for the Freeman team, but only sixteen were selected. These sixteen practiced every afternoon at Richmond Country Club, normally play- ing nine holes a day. Six Freeman golfers were chosen to play in each match according to their practice scores. Paul Copeland commented on last years team, “We were good in the matches, but we didn’t play as well in the region and state as we wanted to.” Topping off the season, Coach Paul Fleming was chosen High School Golf Coach of the Year for the states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Virginia.

But for the boy’s track team, those steps did not lead to a place of rest. They only led to a point where they would turn around and run back down. This exercise was part of the conditioning for the track team jumpers and runners. Although the team had to drag their feet to their cars and push the accelerator with their last bit of strength, the next day they were back at school ready to do it all over again. “We had a lot of determination on our team, we wanted to be good, and we were,” said Jeff DeBar. The boys’ coach, Mr. Ken Barbour, added, “We placed the most people in the Region- als ever. I think the quality of the program has improved.” A common challenge for the distance runners was a 4.5 mile run to the Tuck- ahoe Rescue Squad on Three Chopt. The average time for this run was only about 30 minutes. Indeed, the team had a very success- ful year. They ended with a 5-2 record. The team was very well rounded. Many members were able to advance to Region- al competition because of past records. Twelve members of the team went to the regionals. The 880 and mile relay teams also went to the regionals. Af- ter regionals came State. We were for- tunate enough to have three boys qual- ify. They were Bobby Hicks, running the mile and two-mile, Jeff DeBar, run- ning the 880, and Clement Sydnor, run- ning the intermediate hurdles. Clem- ent Sydnor broke the intermediate hur- dle record, while the 880 relay team broke their record by running a 1:31.9.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon the cars begin to roll from the parking lot — Trans Ams, Camaros, and Impalas raced to get away. For those too young or too unfor- tunate, the big yellow buses left D.S.F. behind. The dust they made had hardly settled when a group of dedicated and determined athletes hit the roads — but no vehicles were allowed, only track shoes. The girls’ track team was on the move. They sprinted, jumped, and ran to the nearby fire station on Patterson Avenue. Margaret Boice said, “I practiced very hard because I had my coaches’ and teammates’ support. The support gave me a lot of encouragement.” Margaret’s constant drilling paid off when she broke the school high jump record by jumping 5 feet, 2% inches. Not only did individuals improve in their events, but the team finished very successfully also. Coached by Mr. Ken Barbour, the girls achieved the best record in the history of the D.S-F. girls’ track teams. They ended the season with a 5-2 record, losing only to Lee-Davis and Henrico. The record placed Freeman second in the Colonial District. The following awards were given: Karen Kaechele and Carolyn Sparks shar- ed the Most Valuable Runner Award, while Margaret Boice received Most Valuable Field Event Performer Award. Also, Anna Grimsley was awarded the 110% Award. Coach Barbour has high hopes for fu- ture teams. He said, “Not many people graduated last year, and the team should be as strong, if not stronger, than those in the past.” Track 85 The Majors. For most baseball players it is a dream, but for Freeman senior Connor McGehee, the dream came true. Connor was drafted by the Pittsburg Pirates in the fifth round of the free-agent draft in the spring of 1979. Connor was the star of Freeman’s baseball team, as he hit and pitched the Rebels to a 12-8 season record, 7-5 in the Colonial District. This record enabled the team to end the season in a three-way tie for first place in the district. The Rebels lost to state-championship-bound Tucker in a playoff for first place and lost again to the Tigers in the first round of the district playoffs. Coach Wayne Hoy thought that the Rebels’ most exciting game of the season was the 8-2 victory over Lee-Davis in a big eleventh-inning rally. Batting .432, McGehee was the Rebels’ leading hitter, but he was also the leading pitcher with a 5-0 record. The team’s MVP, he was voted both All-District and All-Metro. Seniors Eddie Ransom and Gary Parker also won All-District honors. Coach Hoy called it a good season but said, “We lost games we should have won. We beat ourselves with errors.” The JV baseball team, coached by Mr. Ken Moore, finished its season at 12-4. This record tied the team with Tucker for first place in the Colonial District. Glenn Atkinson, chosen the most valuable sophomore, commented on the season, “Coach Moore taught us more how to play as a team. It was more of a team effort.” VARSITY BASEBALL oO D T) e) a 92 | Kecoughtan Lee-Davis Tucker George Wythe Hermitage Patrick Henry Henrico Benedictine Highland Springs Lee-Davis Tucker George Wythe Hermitage Patrick Henry Henrico Highland Springs Benedictine nN NWHDDWONWAAHROH Ye PHO WON 11 LOST 7 District 4 Lee-Davis 86 Baseball ey i OR NORWHNOORWOAKRWAP Phoebus 00.

The achievements of the 1979 squad brought recognition not only to players but also to the Freeman Athletic Department. During colder days, the girls practiced pitching and bunting in the gym. As soon as the weather permitted, however, they were outside preparing to bring home the district championship. The Lady Rebs ended with an 11-1 season record and continued until they reached the regional finals. A great deal of the success of the teams was due to superior pitching. Sophomore Susan Davenport never lost a game until the regional semi- finals when she suffered a twisted knee and was unable to continue. The Lady Rebels lost in the semi-finals 2-1. Susan commented, “My pitching was a combination of years of hard practice and great teammates to back me up.” All of the credit should not go to the pitchers; each position on the field was covered by a capable player — in- cluding the position on the sidelines filled by Coach Sue Manahan. Coach Manahan received “Coach of the Year” for her ’78-’79 achievements. We were very fortunate in having girls who were not only talented but had many years of experience. Most of the girls are young and will be return- ing this year.” Awards received by the players were Susan Davenport’s Most Valuable Player Award, Linda Clark’s 110% Award, and Wanda Gilbert’s Most Spirited Award. Donna Dallas, Lori Henley, and Suzanne Martin were named to the regional team. With great players, a superior coach, much hard work, the Lady Rebels were certain to have a successful season.

Girls’ Softball 89 90 Boys’ Tennis Bjorn Borg vs. Jimmy Connors? Well, the competitiveness of the boys tennis team was not quite on that level; however, some of the players seemed to have many of the same qualitities as the pros. The perfor- mances by the team, coached by Mr. Bob Cardin, led them to win the Colonial District Title. They were undefeated with a 16-0 record. The players won most of their matches with ease, only losing a few scat- tered here and there. The closest team match in the district was a 6-3 win over Henrico. Competition consisted of nine matches, six singles and three doubles. After the completion of the six singles, Freeman usually had the match locked up, winning at least five of the first six matches! However, in Regional play the Rebels were not as fortunate. In the first round of the Regional Tourn- ament they defeated Thomas Jefferson and advanced to the finals against Midlothian. The Chesterfield team was noted for their strong tennis, giving the Rebels their first and only loss. % 9 aq An Unsurpassable Record Freshman Damian Sancilio and Junior Kevin Winston shared the top positions on the ladder throughout the year. Of the top two singles competitors, Kevin reached the semi- finals while Damian went on to become the Colonial District singles champion. Damian and Kevin teamed up to win the doubles championship. The tennis team played with such con- sistency that they clearly became the best team in the Colonial District. Even though Freeman didn’t fare as well in the Regionals, the players were proud of their team and over- whelmed to bring home the district trophey. Freshman Scott Pennington commented, “We had a very strong team all the way down the ladder.” The team is looking forward to an- other good year because Hugh Hill and Jeff Lindquist were the only players to graduate last year. Freeman’s most valuable player award was given to Damian Sancilio. Kevin Winston was voted the most improved player. eng me os ten | : i eiiwnrecsenssade’, psetanese eee ys SPRL: - os pry eee prorercnt Net action.

Takes Wind And Will One of the favorite pastimes of many Freeman students was running along the sandy beach in mid-August with the cool wind in their faces. Even though our Cross Country team ran, it was not along a sandy beach, nor was it for relaxation. Their purpose for running was to strengthen their endurance for cross country events. In order to reach this goal, the team had to practice even when their legs were ready to collapse. Sophomore Lisa Quate said, “I was motivated by my teammates. I wanted to improve so that I could help the team.” Although most of the top runners were veterans, like Karen Kaechele and Danny Usher, some outstanding performers were quite new to the streets. Senior Laura Paul was one of these new runners. Running behind the veterans did not discourage Laura at all, because she was deter- __ Ease on down the Road.

No girl ever dreamed of playing basketball for her school. But in our modern era, the swishing of a ball through a basket and the thumping of sneakers in the gym came from girls as well as boys. The girls practiced to prove that they could play a highly competitive game of basketball. Even though some states, like Iowa, used abridged rules for girls, the girls’ game was basic- ally the same as the boys’ in Virginia. Sophomore Beth Thomas thought that the reason for growing interest in the game came from the girls’ greater skill. The competitiveness and ability of the district teams were outstanding. The Colonial District grew with the addition of new schools and with them came new talent. But with the leadership of co-captains Suzanne Martin and Betsy Facka, the Rebs - maintained a winning record. The lady Rebels had only two seniors; Suzanne Martin and | Girls’ Basketball.

Suzanne Martin commented, No matter who we played, we went out with an encouraging attitude. We made a team work for its victory.” The Tucker games were always ex- citing.

In their first game with Manchester, they really fought hard. Although they lost 12-8, the Team discovered their weaknesses and were able to improve upon them for later games. Another loss went by, and some Rebels were getting disappointed. By the third game with Jefferson-Huguenot-Wythe, the varsity team was ready to go. They made a fantastic goal-line stand only to achieve a 13-13 tie. With this and their next tie game with Tucker, they finally realized their potential. In their next game they faced the Confederates of Lee-Davis. No one expected a win, but because of extreme confidence and determination of the team, the Rebels pulled through a 30-7 victory. At last we had won! Rebels were ecstatic! The players after the game showed the happiest faces all year. The rest of the season was filled with continuous success, except for their loss to Highland Springs. The constant practice and determination had finally paid off. The awards assembly approached Who’s Number One? Freeman, of course. At least as the season came to an end. that’s what junior Blake Eudailey tries to show. Awards given went to Stuart Wells for “Best Back,” to Steve Morgan for “Best Lineman,” and to Tommy Ransom for “Hardest Hitter.” Tri- Captain David Wilbourne, winner of the Hi-Y Tommy Herbert Award, summed up the season by saying, “It served as a learning experience for most of the team. It showed us that if we stayed together as friends, then we could stay together as a team. Our friendships made the season both statistically and emotionally rewarding.” Thus the season ended as a success for all. Muddy, hot, tired, and only tied!

Varsity Football 97 98 J.V. Football , RS pees . 4 : 1a Many of us watched our favorite football team on Friday nights, but how many people realize that, while they were still recovering, another Freeman football team was playing? That’s right. On Saturday mornings the “B” football team played their games. The team, composed of players who did not play for the varsity team, compiles a 2-2-1 record. The head coach was Mr. Ken Moore, and different captains were selected for each game, giving everyone a shot at glory. A win against Hermitage proved very exciting as quarterback Phillip Parker dazzled the Hermitage defense with his passing and offensive play. “‘B’ football is fun because everyone gets to play in the games,” commented Coach Moore. Naming many Friday Night Stars a Tomorrow outstanding performers, Coach Moore added that the team played very well defensively. The team’s strongest points were its defense and “good, skilled people on offense.” The weakest point was “A lack of size and speed for the linemen,” according to Coach Moore. The ninth grade team was made up of freshmen from Freeman and Byrd Middle again this year. Considering the inconvenience of traveling to Freeman from Byrd, a surprisingly large team came out. They played on Friday afternoons, playing on the football field before even the first Friday night spectator arrived. The next time you have nothing to do, remember the JV teams of today are the Friday night stars of tomorrow.

Football 99 “Football” - Superb Despite the low attendance at the games, the soccer team finished up with a winning season. The loss of many starting seniors did not prove a major hindrance to the team, as some feared it would. Coach Bruce Watson encouraged the team members to hang around together at school, which helped them to unite and cooperate on the field. Each player was assigned a secret pal from the Pep Club who put candy and sweets in his locker. Junior Donald Taylor commented, “Secret pals kept up our morale and our spirits. They were something to look forward to and we even came to depend on them.” Starting out the season with four wins and a tie with Lee-Davis, a loss to Hermitage was a shock to the Rebels. Next was the Lee-Davis tournament. In the first game against Trinity, Freeman lost, but came back to beat Lee-Davis. They finished third in the tournament. A match against Armstrong-Kennedy with an 8-0 victory restored the confidence of the Rebels and gave the second and their stringers a chance to par- ticipate. Due to the intermittent periods of inclement weather, many games had to be postponed; as a result, several were played back- to-back, when the weather permitted. But the team kept up their spirits, and their perseverance made the soccer team one of the top teams at Freeman. Soccer Team.

You decide to sit down, relax and watch a little TV. When you turn on the set, what do you see, but high- lights from a pro women’s tennis tournament. As you look closer, one player seems familiar. Yes, it is one of your old classmates. You may think this thought is impossible, yet many of the girls on our tennis hope to make it a reality. Diana Sancillio, a freshman, has future plans as a pro. Lisa LaFratta has hopes for a college scholarship, as do other teammates. Diana Sancilio says, “In order to become a pro, one must have determination and be extremely dedicated.” The girls team had a great season, ending with a 19-1 record. They were undefeated in the district and enter- ed Kegional competition. They beat Midlothian 8-1, in the process of becoming Central Region Champions. The girls then went to State, which was played here in Richmond. They met a team from the Charlottesville area first and defeated them. The Lady Rebs advanced to the finals against Langley High School for the State championship. This match became the Rebels first defeat. At the completion of the six singles, the score was 3-3, with the doubles yet to be played. Langley was vict- orious in two of the three doubles matches. The score ended with Langley on top 5-4.

They lost 7-5, 6-2. Sharon and Lisa then placed third in State doubles after playoff action. “Although losing in the finals of State was upsetting, afterwards we did realize that we had an exceptionally talented team,” commented Coach Larry Parpart.

With Junior Fred Facka leading the team, the Rebels proved to be one of the toughest teams in the district. They beat powerhouses like Benedic- tine, and Armstrong-Kennedy. Although the team was very young, it was amazing how the juniors were so relaxed on the court. Even though most of the players were juniors, senior captains David Sampson and Rodney Darling helped a great deal throughout the year. David usually led the Rebel attack while Rodney gave encouragement to other players and added points when they were really needed. This year’s team had a lot of variety. Sometimes they could have five tall players in at once, like 66” Bunsavage, or they could put in their quick team, which included Sims brothers. Although there was a designated starting line up, most of the time a second team was put in at the last half of every quarter. This sub- stitution gave all the players a great deal of rest. Fred Facka commented, “This year all of the juniors were giving a lot of playing time. This added experience will help us next year.” Freeman’s basketball teams have been improving each year. So may- be, in the near future, Freeman will have eamed the right to be called “ 1” in Varsity Basketball. Where’s Goliath?

The schedule was changed, a new coach arrived, and the team became more attentive school wide. Usually in sports a coach recruits prospective team members, but the Rebels were the ones doing the searching this time. Left without a coach, the team finally turned to Tuckahoe Elementary School, where a sixth grade teacher, Lynn Barnaby, was easily recruited. A high school and college gymnast, Coach Barnaby brought new ideas and techniques to the gymnastics program. She was sup- ported by her husband, who took a course on vaulting in order to help spot and coach that particular event. The scheduling of only five meets spectators. The meets were started at 7:00 in the evening instead of in the afternoons. Dual meets were still held with regional teams. The schedule proved to be tough because the team met the two top teams, Henrico and Hermitage, in an early meet and suffered a disappointing loss. But things could only get better and as the team had only minimal injuries, they could look forward to the Regional and State meets, where competition was individual and by teams. Led by experienced Co-captains Stephanie Lindley and Cathi Garrette, and fine performances from sophomore Wendy Cary, the team commanded more school attention. For the first time posters appeared in the halls announcing times of the free meets. The captains meant the addition of triple meets— gave talks at Pep rallies.

Although the Winter Track team prac- ticed outdoors, they competed indoors. For the distance runners it was a big change, for in competition they had to run in circles around a gym. Some runners complained of getting a little dizzy. Yet, this repetitious running in circles didn’t seem to bother most of the boys’ track team. Coach Ken Barbout commented, “This year was the best season our team has had in a long time.” The distance runners, led by Danny Usher, proved to be one of the strong- est sections of the team. Leading the sprinters were John Dyer and Char- lie Babb. John said, “We had a lot of people qualified for the State this year, and we have a lot more inter- ested runners”.

With this jump, Margaret placed second in an invitational meet. Although Karen Kaechele was in- jured most of the season, she still contributed much to the success of the team. She commented, “Since we had more girls competing, we felt more like a team. We set goals and encouraged others as much as possible.” Just Behind.

They were representative of the efforts of the team members and their cheer- leaders, the Grapplettes, to make wrestling a more popular spectator sport. But, despite poor turn outs, the team had another successful season. In early November the wrestlers started training in two practices, one for experienced wrestlers, and another for the novices. Divided into weight classes, team members had wrestle-offs before each meet to decide who would compete. Then, after days of trying to lose weight by eating next to nothing, exercising more than normal, and struggling to stay awake in classes, the wrestlers weighed in after sixth period the day of the meet. Between the weigh- in and the match, the grapplers headed home to enjoy a full meal and Taking Down the District tried to get psyched for the match. The season had many highs and, fortunately, few lows. During a 27- 20 victory over Highland Springs, the teams were never separated by more than six points. Finally, sophomore Billy Baker clinched the victory as he won his match in the 185-pound class. The team also had two big wins over the AA State champions, Poquoson High School, and the national prep champions, Mt. St. Joseph from Maryland. The Rebels also placed as runner-up in the Bishop Ireton Tournament in Alexandria. Perhaps the highlight of the season was Perry Weinberg’s upset of the defending state Champion in the 112- pound class. The low point for the team was a disappointing loss to Henrico. The loss broke an overall 59 game winning streak for the Rebels. But the season matches had little consequence for the team as a whole. They merely determined the individual seeds in the District.

The team overcame many injuries to such starters as Bill Robertson, who suffered a mild concussion, and Chris Kinter, who injured an ankle, and many other twisted thumbs, knees, and wrists, common enough injuries incurred throughout a wrestling season. “The team has overcome many obstacles in having a successful season.

Not many experiences could surpass the 90 yard return for a touchdown, or the slam dunk, or a near perfect performance on the balance beam. But many spectators would be surprised at the amount of work, sacrifice, and time put into those final victorious moments. There has not been a practice invented yet that is all fun. Most days practices included drills and scrimmages depending on the sport. If the drills were not boring or monotonous, they were exhausting.

Water polo brought a change of pace to swimmers, but it usually ended up being just as tiring as a regular practice.

Feature 115 Actually doing the practice was sometimes easier than getting there. Most practices were held after school. After a full schedule and discipline, practice was sometimes hard to face. The idea of running to the rescue squad station daunted many runners, especially after a long school day. About twice a week, basketball play- ers were rudely awakened by their alarms before 6:00 in order to make it to a 6:30 practice. But at either time, team members made the extra effort that the times required. But the work of the practice was Football and other fall sports teams started practicing in late summer. The sweltering, humid heat sometimes made midday practices unbearable, and most practices were held in the mornings or late afternoons, or both. The sight of the soccer players on the practice field often brought gasps of astonishment from passersby. Shorts were worn by most members through the coldest winter weather. Baseball and soft- ball practices began in February when snow was still on the ground. Sacrifice was a popular word used by coaches and players.

Eating less, and exercising more was important for gaining the advantageous position in a lower weight class. Team members couldn’t engage in many extra-curricular activities without conflicts between meetings and practices or games. Sore muscles, twisted joints, and bruises were all part of being in sports. So, all this work became evident only at a game or meet. A group of diverse students became a team only after practice and cooperation between members. Sports such as football and basketball claimed large amounts of school attention and their efforts and achievements were recognized. But most sports were not supported by much of the student body. Their “thrill of victory” was gained through personal satisfaction. A hole-in-one for a golfer, a first place on the parallel bars, or crossing the finish line way ahead and alone in a cross country event was the triumphant culmulation of practice, drills, and sacrifice. Realizing that only practice could help a player jump higher, run faster, and play harder or longer than any other, every minute and every sore muscle towards winning was well spent. ‘ ¥ Fee We ncia ROR IS SoD Coming Home.

Members met every other Tuesday and drove to the R-Cap center to visit and play with underprivileged children to whom they became big brothers and sisters. HQ: Very interesting. What of the others? SSA: There was also Student Exchange. Students from Freeman visited and observed other area high schools, which, in turn, sent students from their schools to Freeman. HQ: It sounds very suspicious. Any sign of espionage? SSA: None that I noticed. HQ: What other interesting facts did you learn? SSA: I discovered something very interesting. Some of the students actually feel gratitude toward the faculty. The Teacher Appreciation Committee has shown that aspect. It kept the students in touch with their teachers. HQ: I see. How were you accepted when posing as a Freeman student? SSA: I adjusted easily. The New Student Committee had a party for all new students, which I attended. They handed out a booklet they had printed which told of nightspots, theatres, shopping centers, and important telephone numbers. HQ: Did you attend any of the social functions? How were you informed of these? SSA: The Publicity Committee, an important part of the school, kept signs up as to the whereabouts and ¢ the times of the social events. HQ: Were freshmen and new sophomores given the same treatment as other new _ students? SSA: The procedure was slightly dif- ferent. Each new homeroom was assign- ed a Big Brother and Big Sister who helped the “rookies” find their way the first few weeks. They wore susp- icious buttons (which could have had a double meaning), so that students having trouble finding their bearings cad would know who to ask for help. HQ: Very good investigation Sally. I think we can conclude that the SCA has done a tremendous job of getting the student body involved and keeping them informed. To stress the point.

It was the time of year for tapping ceremonies for the National Honor Society and Quill Scroll. Seniors were tapped at a March assembly and Juniors were chosen in late April. New members were tapped into the NHS by old members at an assembly of the whole class after speeches about the four criteria under which a new member was chosen: scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Choosing new members was a very complicated and secretive process. Sponsor Miss Jordan explained, “We tried the best we could to have a system that eliminated biases, prejudices, and even enthusiasms.” All students who met the scholarship requirement— a 3.6 average for Juniors and a 3.2 average for Seniors — were evaluated by their teachers. Teachers and sponsors equally considered the student’s AGE Dae GQawwnrenver se, i Members 6!

Led by President Perry Weinberg, the NHS was responsible for posting the Honor Roll in the Main Hall, cleaning the trophy cases, and providing refresh- ments for receptions after tapping ceremonies. The National Honor Society of High School Journalists was called Quill Scroll, which was sponsored by Miss Kay Moore. In order to be nominated one had to be a writer for one of the school’s publications: the Historian, the Commentator, and the Educator. In such a field as journalism or creative writing where few ever gain wide recognition, the honor proved an incentive for student writers. Pres- ident Ronald Boyd, from the Educator staff, summed it up, “It encouraged me to keep writing.” _ The Brain Trust NHS Quill Scroll 125 . Let’s bake. Seniors Beth Frye, Courtney Reid, and Beth Robertson make plans for an afternoon eerie of ane MNHS. “Hi, I’m Marlin Perkins and today on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdon we are going to study the world famous National Honor Society student in his natural habitat. To do this, we se- lected Douglas Freeman High School as the location for our studies. The honor students are split into four specific groups which we will study today, the Math National Honor Society (MNHS), the French National Honor So- ciety (FNHS), the Spanish National Honor Society (SNHS), the German Na- tional Honor Society (GNHS), and the newly-formed Latin National Honor So- ciety (LNHS). The Math National Honor Society member is a unique student. He must have amassed a grade point average of 3.2 during his high school career. But this in itself is not enough. A candidate for membership must also have teacher recommendation and then and only then, is he eligible to be voted into the soceity. A rarer form of the MNHS member is a junior who is a member. He must have a 4.0 grade point average in math in addition to teacher recommendation to obtain el- igibility. A feature of the Math So- ciety is that they are led by a spon- sor and a president, Mrs. Smith and Charlie Tenser, in raising money through bake sales to give a scholar- ship to a graduating senior. The other four groups, the Spanish National Honor Society, the French National Honor Society, the German National Honor Society, and the Latin National Honor Society are closely related. Obviously all of those groups Motivated Minds 126 MNHS, FNHS, SNHS, GNHS, LNHS are concerned with foreign language skills and achievements. The require- ments for SNHS, FNHS, and GNHS are the same as the MNHS — for seniors, a 3.2 grade point average plus teacher re- commendation. For juniors, however, only a 3.5 grade point average is needed plus the usual teacher recom- mendations. The sponsors and presi- dents of these groups were found to be Mr. Bill Mayo, sponsor FNHS; Cath- erine Hastings, president FNHS; Mrs. Chance, sponsor GNHS; Rich Hudepohl, president GNHS; Miss Betty Cohen, sponsor SNHS; Sharon Moore, president SNHS. Honor Society members are selected into the societies at a nerve racking ceremony called The Tapping. In this ceremony, all the candidates are as- sembled together during a class as- sembly. For those societies there is not an actual tapping of the mem- bers, but their names are called, and the new members go to a stage where an oath is taken, usually in the for- eign language for the language soci- eties. All-in-all, very unusual be- havior for American high school students. As you can see, the MNHS, FNHS, SNHS, GNHS, and LNHS all provide re- cognition of students who have main- tained high academic standards and thereby provide an important link in our ecology.

After several days of contem- plation, most of them finally decid- ed on one, turning in an application at the last possible moment. “We had a really successful membership drive this year,” said Key Club President Charlie Roest. “We had a lot of good applicants.” As a service club, the Key Club was involved in several community pro- jects like helping the Henrico Christ- mas Mother. Members helped load and unload boxes of food, clothing, and toys which brightened Christmas for the poor of Henrico. Key Clubbers went to the Crippled Children’s Hos- pital several times during the year to play games with the children, a treat especially appreciated by those bedridden. At election time, Key Club members helped at the Meet-the- Candidate Night sponsored by the West End Henrico Kiwanis Club. A Freeman teacher was chosen teacher- of-the-year and awarded a prize by Interact. Sponsor Mr. Drew Bright and Mr. David Guys on the Ge the Key Club, which gave gifts to all teachers in appreciation for their work and dedication throughout the year. The Beaumont Boys’ Home was an especially important project for In- teract. Members played football and baseball with the boys, which gave them a chance to get better acquaint- ed, and sponsored a Christmas party at the Home. Another community ser- vice project for Interact was helping with the Meals-on-Wheels, an organiza- tion which delivers food to invalids and shut-ins. Interact sponsored a teract’s programs with these groups have been mutually beneficial since we have grown along with those we have helped.” “Hi-Y is back and working like never before.” Hi-Y’s new slogan started the year with a positive at- titude that reflected its goals for the year. Working as a school ser- vice club, it also worked within the community. During Homecoming week the club sponsored a homeroom decor- ating contest. The winning homeroom was Miss O’Dell’s and each student received a ticket to the Homecoming CARE child, donating money every month game. Announcements of upcoming for the child’s schooling, food, and clothing. It raised money for Mus- cular Dystrophy by having a raffle. Members helped to organize and then participated in a danceathon in April for Multiple Sclerosis. President Brian Farmer said, “Our experiences with the CARE, Beaumont, and Meals- on-Wheels organizations have shown us that our community is still in need of young people willing to give their time for others. I think In- events did not magically appear on the marquee each Monday; they were arranged by Hi-Y members every week. Selling drinks for thirsty specta- tors at basketball games and wrest- ling matches was another service the Hi-Y provided. At Thanksgiving. the Hi-Y sponsored the assembly for canned goods which went to the Crip- pled Children’s Hospital.

Continuing this tradition, Freeman’s girls’ clubs were more active and enthusiastic than ever before. Rebelettes | members provided the community with a very special service. Twice during the year, they sponsored the Blood Drive. They entertained the children of the Grace House by taking them to the park in the Spring. During Christmas they manned booths for the Salvation Army in local shopping malls. Club members presented holiday season gifts to their “Christmas family’. President Heather Adkins explained, “The purpose of Rebelettes | is to 130 Rebelettes |, Il build the girls of Freeman into fellow- ship. We believe that service is es- esential to fulfill social and religious obligations.” Rebelettes | members often got to- gether for covered dish dinner meetings and football games with the Key Club. The girls developed several ways to raise funds for their various projects. Money was eared by a collective yard sale. Cash flowed into the treasury from a doughnut selling drive and numerous bakesales. The good feeling that comes from giving oneself to a worthwhile cause was also felt by Rebelettes II. Mem- bers of this club amused children of the Grace House at Halloween by carving a pumpkin and playing games with them. They gave assistance to the Salvation Army during Christmas by ringing bells in front of local stores. At Thanks- giving they participated in the canned food drive. On the second Sunday of each month, Rebelettes II members visited a local church. To top off the morning, they ate lunch at a nearby restaurant. Although most of their club funds came in through bakesales and car washes, the club also made money by the sale of Rebel buttons. The girls of Rebelettes Il enjoyed participating in combined parties or events with other clubs. In October, they had a picnic with the members of the Key Club. President Susan Kinder- vater said, “We believe that it is im- portant to get involved with other clubs for joint activities.” Rebelettes Il finished off the year with a banquet for the swearing in of new officers.

Ein, zwei, drei! Un, deux, trois!) Members of the German Club or French Club jokingly spoke phrases of their second languages during the club meetings. Both of these clubs tried to stay active and working throughout the year. Members of the German Club attempted to establish contact with other German clubs in the area high schools. They attended a convention in Woodbridge, Virginia, at which they contributed to seminars on German culture, food, and dancing. They celebrated Octoberfest with a German meal at Mad King Ludwigsg, a restaurant in the Fan. A trip to Busch Gardens was the highlight of their fall Ready for Europe activities. In November the German Club went to see the Stratten Mountain Boys, a German folk dancing group, at the Coliseum. To raise money, the club members came up with two new ideas. At their bake sales they sold German food exclusively. They also gained great popularity at home soccer games by selling hot cocoa to shivering fans. The French Club changed the style of their Homecoming float this year by decorating a car instead of the traditional pickup truck. Their float, entitled “Drag the Jags”, was an original addition to the parade. Club officers investigated the possibility of starting a foreign exchange program at Freeman. French Club members were able to try out a new restaurant in town, Le Chef. Many of the students wished to return after sampling the French cooking. The club members then tried their own hands at French cuisine by contributing dishes to a Christmas Banquet. A cheese-tasting party in the spring was a fun interlude after a hard day at school. Both the French Club and the German Club were devoted to letting their members enjoy themselves while learning about foreign cultures. These clubs enriched the knowledge of students beyond lessons learned in grammar and pronunciation at school. —— lO PER - res German Club.

Even though the name sounded like a soft drink, its letters had quite a different meaning. SODA, the Stu- dent Organization for Developing At- titudes, consisted of juniors and sen- iors selected from applications the previous year. The SODA teams, one boy and one girl to a classroom, vi- sited sixth grade classes twice a month to work with the students. They tried to help them develop good attitudes and establish values. The teams played games with their classes which sometimes asked the students to make moral decisions about cheat- ing, stealing, and other situations they might face in middle school. The SODA teams also did fun things such as taking their class to a bas- ketball game. SODA was successful because teenagers were able to cap- ture the attention of and relate to the sixth graders better than adults could. To gain experience in teaching a foreign language, teams of two French students visited TAG students at el- ementary schools. the TAG helpers had to be fourth or fifth level French students. The teams visited Carver and Three Chopt schools once a week and taught basics such as members, alphabet, and short phrases. 136 SODA, FTA, TAG “It provided me with a learning ex- perience in teaching and gave me a better understanding of the problems faced by teachers,” said Senior El- eanor Hammack. Students who expressed a desire to become a teacher, or those with just an interest in education joined the Future Teachers of America. Part of the FTA was the Ridge Committee, which visited Ridge Elementary to work with children who had learning disabilities. The club members vi- sited once or twice a week from their first period study hall. But the club with sponsors Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Gib- son, grew to a service club in the community and school. Visits to nur- sing homes at Thanksgiving and Easter were projects the whole club partici- pated in. Mr. Sweeney was the lucky winner of a turkey draw at Thanksgi- ving. The FTA helped members gain special insight into the problems of children as well as those of teachers. “It p romotes responsibility and defin- ately a great opportunity to work with people as a part of a great group!” summed up President Nancy Stanford. All three organizations provided students who had interests in work- ing with younger pupils, providing excellent occupational experiences. Here she comes!

But it was worth it, and soon forgotten as they were caught up in the spirit of the meetings. The group usually met afterward at Hardee’s; however, after the first meeting, no one had any appetitie. As a special treat, High’s had delivered two gutters filled with ice cream, chocolate syrup and bananas, which everyone immediately devoured. During the course of the year, members were able to go on retreats in places such as Skyland, on Sky- line Drive, and Smith Mountain Lake. They also went skiing at Wintergreen. Several Young Life summer camps around the country, such as Windy Gap, North Carolina; Saranac, New York; and Sil- ver Cliff, Colorado offered oppor- tunities for Young Lifers. To bring the cost of these camps down, a Vol- leyball Marathon was held at the YMCA. Participants stayed up all night play- ing volleyball, and collected money for each hour. Another club, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, met twice a month on Wednesday. It was open to every- one, not athletes only, as its name implies. The members visited the Beaumont Home for Boys to play foot- ball or just to talk with the boys. They also had a Christmas party with them. Lakewood Manor, a home for the aged, was another of their service projects. “It was very rewarding see- ing the expressions of the old people, to know that someone cared,” commented Senior Cheryl Moore, They also had guest speakers, persons involved in sports, who talked about the role of christianity in athletics. Both of these groups, although dif- ferently organized, were both built on the same principle of fellowship. Young Life and FCA both helped Rebels to become more aware of themselves and their surroundings and neighbors. - Pe eae et eet Shey Wea 2 t FM Pe?) ST . 4e-y S. ee ! 138 Young Life Caroling?

The Future Business Leaders of America took part in field trips that were meant to instruct them, such as a visit to the Nabisco factory. The officers were allowed to listen to proceedings in Richmond City Courts. Recreational activities of the club included a challenge basketball match with the Tucker FBLA and vacations to the beach and mountains.

Then you might have belonged to one of three clubs at Freeman. The Freeman Arts and Talents Society, the History Club, and the Driver’s Club catered to students who had special interests in the arts, history, or safe driving. FATS created great cultural interest in the school by offering students a chance to participate in the art-related activities. Several times this year FATS members went on sketching and photography trips to local spots of interest. On one of their many trips to view exhibits at the Virginia Museum, they examined the treasures of Chatsworth. On two separate trips to Washington, they were able to visit the Smithsonian and watch a ballet performance. For decor- ating for the Homecoming Dance, FATS was named club of the month in Novem- ber. One club member, Margaret Scott, said, “FATS gives you more chances to see and experience art than you normally would have.” The History Club enlisted a full agenda of activities during its first History Club.

President Phillip Urofsky explained the formation of the club by saying, “The History Club was created to fill what we felt was a gap in the school’s extra- curricular activities.” History Club field trips included excursions to Jamestown, Berkley Plantation, and Williamsburg. They celebrated the holiday season with a trip to the Valentine Museum. There, they participated in a Victorian Christ- mas. This club was also a Film Club; members were able to view several entertaining movies throughout the year. On a weekend in early November, members of the Driver’s Club attended the State Safety Convention in Stanton, Virginia. Several times during the year, these students had a chance to ride in a Henrico police car for a day to watch officers in action. The high- light of their activities was a bicycle rodeo at the end of the year.

Issues Castles are taken while gallant knights and devoted bishops fight to protect their king and queen. A scene from Camelot? No, it was something better. It was another exciting game of chess during a Chess Club meeting. Throughout the year the Chess Club met regularly to polish their skills and perfect their strategies. Meetings were very informal and the only re- quirement to join the club was an in- terest in the game. During the meet- ings Chess Club members formed a lad- der and played against each other to gain experience for upcoming tourna- ments. Much of the year was spent in preparation for the tournaments be- tween schools. Chess Club President Ross Rollings explained, “This year we decided to devote most of the club’s resources to chess tournament, in- stead of individual competition.” Using topics dealing with today’s issues, the Debate Team also worked hard to prepare for competition. Pre- paration was the key to winning de- bates, and team members used their first period study hall rummaging through stacks of books and magazines to back up their arguments. Four-man teams argued in all the tournaments on whether or not the U.S. should sig- nificantly change its foreign trade policies. Teams were judged in five areas: evidence, reasoning, organi- zation, delivery, and refutation (an- swering an argument). Led by Captain and Answers Perry Weinberg and Co-Captain Bob Bas- sel, the Debate Team did well in their matches. The team traveled to Roan- oke early in the year for a match at Lord Bottetourt High School and also to James Madison University in Har- risonburg. Then local competition started in late January with matches held on Monday evenings. Teams com- peted in order to be eligible for the Regional Match held at Freeman and for the State Match at the Universtiy of Virginia. But the teams had to rely on local matches to acquire adequate experi- ence to get them to the State Match because traveling costs and expenses got too high to go to many state mat- ches. Due to a switch in the school budget $500 originally given to the Debate Team was used for a scholarship instead. At first the Debate Team protested, “The problem was that we were not clearly defined as a club or an athletic team,” said Jill Lippmann, clarifying the members’ feelings. But Mr. Anthony explained that registra- tion and sponsor fees would still be given. “Expenses for eating and spend- ing nights had to be earned by the club,” Mr. Anthony maintained. Despite the initial setback, Debate Team members raised money and landed on their feet again through determination and in- genuity which goes to show that you might get more than you bargain for arguing with the D.S.F.

Math-minded Rebels who had an unrelenting interest in this technology were able to join the Math and Computer Club. Mrs. McMullin, who shared sponsorship with Mrs. Gibson, remarked, “Any student inter- ested in math had a good chance to become a member.” Each new member was able to invent his own project on any mathmatical subject. The club was fortunate enough to get the chance to take a field trip to Reynolds Aluminum Company in November where they viewed the company’s computer systems program. In December, the new members were introduced to Freeman’s own computer lab. During their regular meetings on the first Monday of each month, they heard a variety of speakers and worked on independent studies. J ra Heads of state.

The Downbeats have been a part of Freeman’s choral department since the school’s opening in 1959. The group consists of nine girls and one pianist who provides accompaniment. They choose popular contemporary pieces that are practiced and performed with- out the assistance of a director. Downbeats must memorize every note and every beat to each piece of music they study. Quality is improved through group evaluation and cirti- cism. The Downbeats provided musical entertainment at the National Tobac- co Beauty Pageant where the girls were thrilled to meet Lyle Wagner. They also sang at Tuckahoe Presbyter- ian Church, Richmond Home for Ladies, and Richmond Hyatt House for a Real- tors meeting. The Chamber Ensemble consista of twelve students who studied various types of music ranging from foreign to classical pieces. Junior Robin Moore explained, “It’s very inter- esting learning different types of music and it makes our performances very unique.” Because they sang with no accompaniment, a great deal of time and concentration was requi- red of them. This season, the Chamber Ensemble performed for the PTA, at the opening service for the Cannon Memorial Cha- pel, and at the Christmas assembly.

From the first football game until the last track meet, the Pep Club provided sup- port for the school’s athletic teams. Before sporting events Pep Club mem- bers would become Secret Pals by de- livering candy to team members. De- positing the surprises in team members lockers secretly, Secret Pals earned their name. The Pep Club was also in- volved in other spirit raising act- ivities. Throughout the year, mem- bers of the Pep Club created clever slogans urging teams on to victory. Posters were put up in the main hall- ways and during pep rallies to create even more enthusiasm for upcoming games. Members sold Rebel pennants during the end of football season to 150 Pep Club, Boosters raise money. They also became cooks and prepared food for team members and coaches at several sports banquets. Another organization which promoted enthusiasm and support for the school’s athletic teams was the Booster Club. The Booster Club was made up of fa- culty members and parents of D.S-F. students. The Booster Club provided supplies like paper and paint for the Pep Club and the Cheerleaders to make into Rebel rousing posters and ban- ners. They also helped to support the school’s athletic teams. To raise money for these activities, the Boo- sters could be found at football games trying to persuade Rebel fans to buy a Rebel jacket or a Rebel banner to show support for the team. Real bargain.

Two weeks prior to the beginning of school, enthusiastic band students practiced several hours each day to prepare themselves for the upcoming football season. After the start of the school year, these half-time performances could be found rehearsing their shows early in the morning on the soccer field. Band members were committed to playing at the football games on Friday nights. From their position on the sidelines at the west end of the field, they braved hurdling tacklers and wayward “bombs” to boost Rebel spirits with “Dixie”. Pep was created by the spirit of the band in the pep rallies. The cheer B-A- N-D and loud playing helped to win a spirit stick for the band. The more devoted players joined the Pep Band, because members had to give up cheering with their classes. It was made up of juniors and seniors who also volunteered to play at basketball games. The band was involved in many local parades. They captured a third place trophy in their division at the Tobacco Festival Parade competition. They were invited to play at the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia. The band was a special addition to pep rallies, football and basketball games. Without their support, school life would not have been nearly as lively or exciting. And the band played on. Junior Andy Gill and senior Tricia Roberts ham it up at a pep rally. Hot to trot.

The twelve JV cheerleaders, sponsored by Miss Blount and led by Cheer Up e Susan Pendergast, cheered for the JV football team on Saturday mornings, the girls’ basketball team on Thurs- day nights, and the boys’ basketball team. To improve their performance, the group practiced after school on Mondays. Mary Beth Wirth, commenting on this year’s JV squad, said, “It is a lot more organized than last year since we are all at Freeman. I like it better.” Mary Beth referred to the fact that some of last year’s squad members attended Byrd in the ninth grade, while others were at Freeman. Pam Wiggins headed this year’s ninth grade squad and Ms. Austin was the sponsor.

This group of girls dedicated their spare time to the cause of providing support for the wrestling team. But, providing support meant more than just chanting cheers on the side- lines. It meant painting spirit slo- gans, practicing daily, washing cars to raise money, and more. Before matches, each Grapplette provided one Varsity and one J.V. wrestler with a special goody bag. Also, one cheerleader per meet was responsible for supplying the team with oranges that provided them with energy. Head Grapplette Suzie Scott com- mented, “It was harder to get organ- ized this year because we had four- teen girls instead of the usual twelve.” The girls held a car wash and sold rebel stadium cushions in order to raise enough money to attend the Christmas tournament in Falls Church with the team. These efforts displayed the squad’s support for the wrestlers and helped them to become a better team. The Grapplettes sponsor, Mrs. Bright, commented, “The Grapplettes really helped to elevate the team’s morale during the constant strain of train- ing periods.” Don’t sneeze.

The largest group, the flag girls, was sponsored by Miss Griggs and headed by Mary Beth Hart. The flags placed first in competition at the University of Richmond which was part of Band competition.

After an experimental effort to change the format of the newspaper to a news- magazine, the Commentator staff de- cided to return to the traditional newspaper style. The staff began to cover mainly school news rather than a combination of school and community news. Staff member Brian Farmer commented, “I feel it was a good change and that it created more inter- est in the paper.” This spring, the Commentator staff spent a weekend at the VHSL Convention in Charlottesville. The staff took several mini-courses to improve their skills, and they also met other newspaper staffs from all over Virginia. The Educator staff appealed to the student body through clever ad- vertisements expressing their need for contributions for their annual literary magazine. The material was then screened by the staff in order to choose which pieces they would include in the publication. Junior Margaret Scott explained, “We got a really good response to the subscrip- tion drive this year, but we had problems getting enough contributions.’ In October five members of the Educator and two members of the Hist- orian traveled to New York for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention. Their weekend consisted of several workshops at Columbia Uni- versity along with Broadway shows, sightseeing, and shops. Members of both the Educator and Commentator staffs gained valuable experience in the field of journal- ism. The school’s support showed its appreciation of the quality of these publications. ’ Consultations. Mrs. Beall advises Chris Tomasson on a feature idea while Jay Tandlich waits his turn.

Believe it or not, the publication of the yearbook was in progress. Led by editor-in-chief Susan McAfee, the staff consisted of senior section editors, including the copy and lit- erary editors, junior assistants, Tories, photographers, and the bus- iness staff. Each section editor was responsible for one yearbook section such as sports or organizations. They kept the junior assistants and the photo- graphers busy with assignments for Now hear this ... deadlines on time. Filin of a student’s portraits. stories and pictures. All of the stories, known as copy, had to be proofread, rewritten if necessary, and typed, using one finger only, of course. It was everyone’s job to come up with a catchy caption (say that one ten times fast!) for each and every picture. Finally the pictures and copy had to be arranged on the page, hopefully in an organized fashion. The main goal of this year’s staff was to get the yearbook out on time. Deadlines proved to be tough to meet, and room 126 pizza parties at 8:00 p.m. were a common occurrence for those striving to meet their deadlines “It’s a break from the daily rou- tine, and a good way to express your- self,” said Susan Anderson, organi- zations co-editor, describing the seventh period study hall. Many of the editors attended year- book seminars at Longwood and William Editor-in-chief Susan McAfee lectures to the senior editors about meeting their fun. Business advisor, Miss Marion Breeden shuffles through the underclassmen pictures in search and Mary Colleges during the summer. Susan McAfee and Beth Frye attended a regional seminar in New York City in October. These semin ars helped the editors in producing a much better, more creative yearbook. The Historian business staff, headed by Susan Davis, Beth Frye, and Charlie Roest, and sponsored by Miss Breeden was responsible for the year- book sales and the distribution and underclassmen pictures. Over 1,200 yearbooks were sold this year. Beth Frye commented, “The sales went well because we had an excellent group of homeroom representatives who got along fairly well.” So here it is — your yearbook — the product of hard work, diligence, frust- ration, pizza parties, and some in- sanity thrown in on the side. Deadly Deadlines Historian 165 Above and Beyond the Call of Duty- Overtime. Many Freeman groups and clubs spent many of their free hours back at school. Why? Because they wanted to make the clubs at Freeman the best they could be. Even though the Commentator, Educator, and Historian staffs had one class period during the day to work, most of the work was done after school hours. Some groups that worked especially hard were the SCA, Cheerleaders, Grapplettes, and the various publication staffs. Sometimes editors of the yearbook had to come to school on Saturdays in order to meet an upcoming deadline. They also stayed after school, sometimes past six o'clock. Many times, the Commentator staff could be seen taking a short break to eat their bag lunches while setting type in the Commentator room. The Cheerleaders and Grapplettes also made Freeman their second home. The Cheerleaders had games three or four times a week up into Feoruary. The Grapplettes had wrestling matches that lasted as late as 12 o'clock at night. Junior Susan Anderson said, “Even though we had fourth period to work on cheers, during the toumaments we ate all three meals away from home; however the hours didn’t bother me because I really enjoyed getting to be good friends with the other Grapplettes and the Wrestlers.” The SCA held meetings at least one time a week. Although the represent- atives only came once a month, the officers were kept very busy with the many committee meetings. One of the activities of the year sponsored by the SCA was bringing to Freeman Michael Broome, who spoke on motivation. The various musical groups from Freeman gave many extra hours. The band had to give up many Friday nights by huddling on the sidelines or in the end zone to play for all the football games. The Downbeats gave at least one performance each week, missing classes and schoolwork. These and other musical groups not only demanded time but also extensive practice and musical preparation. These and many other organizations kept the janitors invariably late almost every afternoon. Even the sponsors often had to give up other plans to go along with their organi- zations. Although each group took a great deal of time, most students said they enjoyed giving their time because they wanted it to be a SUCCESS. | I: Race against time.

They were one student body yet they were almost two thousand individuals. This special sun allowed the students to spend their spare time pursuing their interests and developing their talents. Each student was unique because his interests were diff. erent from the interests of his fellow Rebels. Some were skiiers, gome rode horses, some were music- ians, and some were gifted art- istically or intellectually. Philip Urofsky, Angela Goza, and Courtney Reid were three Rebels who attended the Governor's School for the Gifted, while Robert Cross, Bob Bassel, Jonathan Baliff, Mike Maloney, and Harvey Stebbins put their intelligence to work by representing Freeman in “Battle of the Brains.” The girls’ tennis team was another group of gifted Rebels who victoriously captured the title of Colonial District Champs. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all worked hard at becoming involved. Whether they became involved by joining clubs, taking part in school plays, or supporting athletic teams by cheer- ing them on at games, one thing was for sure.

Ad- ded responsibility and leadership were expected from the class of 1980 as they finally became seniors. Club and class activities absorbed their time and talents as they worked for those final credits towards graduation. The Senior class officers worked together to encourage a large class participation in activities. Vice-Pres- ident David Wilbourne explained, “I want to motivate my class into accom- plishing what is best for the class.” Honor Council Representative Courtney Reid predicted “a really spirited year,” which was proven when the sen- iors won the first spirit stick of the year. Seniors also showed their enthu- siasm by participating and dressing for a Fifties Day and a Beach Day. The year-long sale of Rebel beach towels and other fund raisers, such as car washes, were the responsibility of treasurer Brian Taylor. His main ob- jective was to make enough money for | “the best prom Freeman’s ever had.” Despite worrying about college ap- plications, anticipating graduation, and the Prom, surviving through the traditional Senior Slump, seniors had a fairly smooth year. President Ann Marie Edwards did her best to make this year “one to be remembered — one that will provide an easy transition from high school to college.” Future class reunions were even considered before the Bee cael ane Series year was out. With such eager and cap- Class dues. able class officers, 1980 was sure to be a great year. Fit to Print.

Their vis- it consisted of two weeks in France and one week in England. Both stu- dents and Europeans found it easy to get along with each other. As most of the group had taken French before, their journey provided an excellent cultural and lingual experience. They had their own bus and tour guide, which enabled them to explore many aspects of French and British life. In their spare time, students were free to wander about the cities. A- mong their findings were discos in Paris and London. Nude beaches in Nice exhibited some of the European culture that is seldom found in our own country. At the Vouvray Vineyards in the Loire Valley, students witness- ed the wine-making process. Beer and wine were actually cheaper than most soft drinks. The subject of cultural history was prominent all over England and France. According to senior Brian Farmer, “I was amazed by the amount of history and tradition that is evident through- out Europe. Compared to their two thousand or so years of recorded his- tory, we have just started to write ours.” The summer trip was an over-all success. The sponsors felt the stu- dents’ fine attitude deserved much of the credit. Miss Baker was most impressed. She commented, “They al- ways come back different-more mature and more appreciative.” Seniors 175 Jennifer Ann Cartledge Commentator Literary Staff, Feature Editor; FCA; Rebelettes III; Spanish Club: SNHS Celeste Anne Casale DECA Kelly Carol Cassells DECA; FHA; Girls’ Gymnastics; Girls’ Track Karen Lee Cecil Art Club; Chamber Ensemble: Concert Choir, Secretary; FCA; FHA; Flag Girl, Co- Head; Library Club, Secretary, Treasurer; “The Apple Tree”, Make-up Committee, “The Playroom”, Costume Committee; Pep Club: Rebelettes IV: Stunt Talent Night, Costume Committee Chairman doni Ann Chandler Nereus Willian Chappell III History Club; Key Club; Spanish Club; Stunt Talent Night, Decorations Committee; Homecoming Dance: Junior Prom Richard Allen Chavatell Apprentice Club; JCL Jack Paiyang Chen French Club; FNHS: Historian Business Staff; Interact; MNHS; Science Club John Jeffrey Chewning Band Linda Cook Clarke Commentator Literary Staff, Photography Editor; French Club; FNHS;: Girls’ Basketball, Manager; Girls’ Gymnastics, Manager; Historian Literary Staff, Photographer, SCA Letter: Girls’ Softball, Letterman; Who's Who Among American High School Students; United Girls’ Softball Association, All-Star Stephen Clements Randall Leigh Clouse Boys’ Basketball, Varsity Karen Ruth Cooke DECA; FHA; FTA; Spanish Club Denise Cooper Paul Copeland Golf Anne Castleton Cox FCA; FHA; Library Club: Rebelettes Ill; SCA Council The Gruesome Twosome.

They became a part of a mock governmental system. Spon- by the American Legion Auxil- iary, Boys’ State is held in June of each year in Lynchburg and Girls’ State at Longwood College in Farm- ville. As mayor of “Pocahontas City,” Mary Taylor felt that Girls’ State “was more than a learning experience. You also grew up.” She and the others took part in electing governors and senators and passing or vetoing bills. Although she was head of a city, she learned that “to be a leader, you have to be a follower.” Everyone had a job to attend to. Ann Marie was chief delegate of the House of Representatives, while Perry was a Supreme Court Justice. David was a senator for “Washington City.” In addition to being part of a govern- ment, students had special speakers: Chuck Robb, Marshall Coleman, and Mayor Whitehurst, a woman mayor from Chesapeake. Everybody at Boys’ and Girls’ State felt that they had participated in an extremely profitable program. David benefitted from the “actual participation in what our state does and not just sitting behind a govern- ment book or listening to a teacher lecture.” Perry felt that the most significant part of his week was the participation in “various forms of our government, such as party nominations and elections, city caucuses, block voting, and acutally presiding over a case in the Supreme Court.” According to Ann Marie: “It was an experience that I’ll always cherish for the friendships I’ve made and for my better understanding of our government.” Seniors 177 Thomas Lewis Dean FHA; Football, JV, Varsity; Hi-Y; Rebelettes II, Sweetheart; SCA Big Brothers; SODA; Stunt Talent Night George Joseph Delong DECA Bows Suzanne Lynn DeMent Art Club; SCA Homeroom Representative; FCA; Historian Business Staff; Medical Arts Club; “The Playroom,” Props Committee; NHS; Pep Club; Rebelettes III; SCA R- Cap Committee; SCA Teacher Appreciation Committee; Spanish Club, Secretary, Princess; SNHS; Stunt Talent Night Christopher Francis Demm Interact; SCA Big Brother Arrows The sport of bow hunting has fascinated man for centuries.

Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen would give a strong ar- gument, but all seniors agreed that their class topped the others. To prove the school and class spirit, Freeman challenged Tucker students in a spirit link contest. The cost was five cents for a link. Students bought links according to which class _ they belonged to. Seniors won out over all other classes in the amount of money collected. Several seniors celebrated Home- coming in an unusual manner. They surprised the workers at McDonald’s by arriving dressed in fifties’ clothes to eat an early breakfast. At the Homecoming pep rally, they revived an old cheer by singing and clapping to “Firecracker, Firecracker.” Spirited seniors put in long hours working on their homecoming float. All the time paid off as the float bearing the slogan “Cat Smash Fever” captured the first place. The Class of ’80 carried their spir- it outside of school as well as in school. Members of the class attend- ed parties thrown by fellow seniors. Surprise birthday parties were numer- ous for seniors who had birthdays during the school year. The antics of the seniors added to the overall spirit of the school. This was proved when the class won most of the spirit sticks at the pep rallies. The classes that followed the Class of ’80 hoped that the enthusiasm in their own senior year would match that of the years’ graduates. 180 Seniors ‘Stunt Talent Night, Publicity Committee Elizabeth Ann Frye A AD a - Gymnastics, Manager; Girls’ Track, Manac r the Playroom:” NHS; Rebelettes III, President: Sea. peak oe SCA Letter; SCA Big Sister; Stunt Talent a Night . - Student Exchange Committee; SCA ee SCA _ Big Sister; Stunt Talent Night Marie Kimball Gilliam Apprentice Club; Art Club; Joseph Giannetta James Fisher = iets Ramm Foster Football; Hi-Y; Stunt Talent = Elizabeth Minor Fowler VICA Heather Elizabeth Franklin Art Clb, Secretary; — - SCA Homeroom Representative; Gis track Historian Business Staff; “The Apple Tree,” “Ah, Wilderness,” “The Playroom,” Publicity Committees; Jon Kimball Freeze Interact; Stunt Talent Night Winter Track .

This one word could have made many seniors turn pale, while others looked forward to college life with great anticipation. Many hectic days were spent in the guidance office, writing letters to colleges, filling out applications, and finally mailing them. But preparation for college did not begin in the senior year; it be- gan by selecting courses for the freshman year in high school. Stu- dents became more aware of their grades and taking all the subjects necessary for a college-prep course. Most students began to think of the college of their choice when PSAT’s were taken in the junior year. Favor- ite colleges for Freeman students were - William and Mary, the University of Virginia, Madison, and Virginia Tech. Colleges were picked for the quality of their curriculum, campus, reputa- tion, and social life. In order to get a better look at the advantages of various colleges, many students visited choice colleges for a week- end. They toured the grounds and of- ten spoke with the Dean of Admissions. For those seniors with an excellent high school record and a definite school in mind, Early Decisions was popular. Students had to pledge that they would attend that college if ac- cepted. After meeting all the dead- lines for SAT’s, ACH’s, Financial Aid Forms, and finally sending the appli- cations away, the anticipation and worry was not over until letters of acceptance were received. 182 Seniors Alice Haghverdian FHA Clarice Haghverdian Michael Hagopian MNHS; Science Club; Who’s Who Among American High School Students Eleanor Carter Hammack FHA; French Club, Vice- President, Historian Literary Staff, Student Editor, Junior Assistant, Tories; Rebelettes I; SCA Big Sister; TAG; FNHS John Thomas Hardwicke Deborah Ann Harless FHA; Library Club, Vice- President; FTA, Treasurer, Secretary Anne Holland Harris FCA; French Club; FNHS, Secretary, Treasurer; Girls’ Tennis, Co-Captain;: Grapplette; Pep Club; Rebelettes [I], Chaplain; SCA R- Cap Committee; SCA Letter; TAG; os Who Among American High School Students; Safety Club Cornelia Susan Harris DECA Mary Elizabeth Harris Cheerleader, 9th; FHA: FTA; SCA Homeroom Representative Richard Harris Sam David Harris ICT Mary Beth Hart Apprentice Club; Art Club, Treasurer, President; Educator; Flag Girl, Captain; French Club; NHS; Rebelettes IV, Vice-President; Quill and Scroll; Stunt Talent Night ee eee Rebels Raid Richmond.

It was then narrowed down to thirteen, then nine, and finally five students were select- ed. Questions were asked from the Britannica Quiz Book. Some teachers also submitted questions. The topics included literature, movies, sports, science, math, history, and trivia. The five team members chosen were seniors Robert Cross, Bob Bassel, Harvey Stebbins, juniors Jonathan Baliff, and Mike Maloney. Robert Cross was the team captain, and Mike Maloney was the alternate. Robert Cross commented, “I really did not think that I would make the team. I surprised myself when I did.” He was pleased to have made it because of all the knowledge he was able to gain. “The people that made up the team were not necessarily the smartest. We just responded quickly and worked very well together,” said Bob Bassel. Freeman’s first match was held a- gainst Trinity during the third week in January. Like all of the Battle of the Brains’ shows, it was broad- casted on Channel 23. In the competition, all schools in the Richmond area participated. Throughout the year, about thirty-six shows were broadcasted. The teammates learned much that they never knew before. “Although it looks easy on television, there is im- mense pressure at the time,” Bob Bas- sel also said. He felt that it was an excellent challenge of mental re- call. The learning and the chal- lenging of minds benefitted the team members. For Freeman, Battle of the Brains helped show the quality of teaching because of the excellent performance of the team.

It wasn’t hard for Marc to be- come involved in the sport. His fath- er ran Barnstormers, the air show at King’s Dominion. For a summer job, Marc becarne a member of the ground crew that helped put up the balloons. Once, he rode in the balloon as Dyno- mutt. Barnstormers usually put on o- ver 200 shows a year. Marc believed, “It is one of the most professional air shows in the country.” Hot-air ballooning was not the saf- est job. Marc had many experiences when the balloon, eight stories tall, landed in lakes, ponds, and trees. One time, wind gusts became so strong that they broke 3,000 |b. strength ropes and ripped the balloon. During the school year, Marc worked on his balloonist and pilot licenses. He hoped to finish all the requirements by the summer vacation. Marc had many — plans for the future even though he didn’t want to make ballooning a car- eer. He planned to take a balloon to college and fly it on the weekends. Al- so, he wanted to travel around the country flying promotional balloons. Two of his goals were learning to sky- dive and “flying across the Pacific oe Souk ae Re RO a EM PEL OR cy a CD Ocean.” So next time you see Dynomutt flying a hot-air balloon over your house, look closer, and you might recognize Marc Hoffmann.

The organization was divided into several actual companies. The J.A. companies ran just like a reg- ular business but on a smaller scale. Junior Achievement meetings were held on Mondays through Thursdays, depend- ing on which company a student partic- ipated in. Offices such as president, vice- president of sales, manufacturing, and production, treasurer, and sec- retary were elected by the members of the company. To aid the students, there were college-aged advisors. Ev- en while joking around with their ad- visors, the students learned about businesses and the machines in the workshop of the business. Karen Thomas was a member of J.A. for two years. Like most of the comp- anies, the projects they began were simple and the products were easy to make. Her company made mug stands. Karen described J.A. as “a change of pace. It’s something to look forward to.” It was also a good chance to meet and talk with people from differ- ent schools. Junior achievement ben- efitted both those interested only in the fun of J.A. and those seriously considering business as a career.

The name conjures up images of super intelligent students checking into a university to have their data banks replenished or of rows of str- aight A students immersed in the study of the differention of the ex- tranuclear structure of monotomic ion and the intermolecular structure of octahedral compounds. If you were thinking like thi s, try again. A more accurate picture of the Governor’s School would be described as a month long session in the begin- ning of summer for talented and gift- ed students. The school offered college-like courses for various fields of science, language, and art. During the summer of 1979, seniors Courtney Reid, Angela Goza, and jun- ior Philip Urofsky attended the school. They went through a long and tough selection process. First, students were selected by teachers for nomin- ation. Each student then submitted an 800 word essay about the field of study that the individual was interested in. Only four nominees were allowed for Freeman. The school was state support- ed and was located at various colleges around the state. The Governor's School also provided a place for people to get together and exchange ideas. Angela Goza, who went ot the school at Randolph-Macon College, took an art course. She found the course easier than she had expected. Angela felt that the most enjoyable feature of the school was the chance to meet new people. Sen- ior Courtney Reid commented, “Overall it was a great experience of learning new things and especially meeting new people and making lasting friend- ships.” | Steven Mitchell Norris Lori Obaugh David Brian O’Flaherty DECA; FHA Kathleen Dianne Oliveri VICA Mari Lynn Onofrio ICT; VICA Richard Joseph Orazi Cross Country; French Club; FNHS; MNHS; NHS; SCA Letter; Track Carlos Francisco Oti History Club; JCL, President; Key Club; Rebelettes IV, Sweetheart; SCA Big Brother; SODA: Spanish Club Benjamin Wayne Overstreet Cheryl Marie Owens Seniors 191 Beyond Chop Sticks Some played football. Some played golf, while others chose chess. What- ever it was, everyone had some kind of hobby after school hours. Lori Davis’ special interest was the pi- ano. She beg an playing seven years ago in Mississippi. Her four older sisters had taken piano, but none of them became proficient in it. Lori was the fifth to try. For four years, her piano teacher, Fay Barss, en- couraged her during every lesson. “She was an excellent teacher,” said Lori. When she started playing, her teacher helped her overcome the fear of playing for an audience. Lori played mostly classical music such as pieces by Beethoven and Bach. Her favorite composer was Kabalevsky. “His music is very soothing. To play his pieces effectively, one has to put a lot of feeling into the music, which I enjoy doing.” As a member of the Teacher’s Guild Association Lori has participated in many recitals. Every May, she played a selection of pieces for a judge who then graded her performance. She has also played for judges at Roanoke and Radford Colleges. Playing at Sunday School and other church programs al- so benefitted Lori’s talent. Lori planned to attend the Brigham Young University, a Mormon school in Provo, Utah, where she planned to major in music. Lori had the talent and in- centive to become an excellent mus- ician. 192 Seniors Cassie Dawn Palmer FCA; FTA; History Club; Medical Arts Club; Rebelettes II; Science Club; VICA; SCA R-Cap Committee John Floyd Palmer Boys’ Basketball, JV; Sophomore Class President; FHA, Historian; Key Club; SCA Resolutions Committee; Stunt Talent Night; WDSF Michael James Pantele Football, JV, Varsity; Ke Club, Secretary; SODA; Stunt Talent Night; Track, JV, Varsi Glenn Macon Parrish Concert Choir; Football, JV, Varsity; Gerrnan Club; Stunt Talent Night Track, JV, Varsity; VICA, President; Wrestling, JV, Varsity Lynn Parsons James Alhin Paul III Soccer Laura Virginia Paul Cross Country; Girls’ Track; - Indoor Trac William Campbell Pendleton Football, Varsity, Manager; Interact, Secretary; Stunt Talent Night, sabe and Sound Technician; “The Playroom”, ‘ome at Six”, “Spring”, “Postcards”, Lights Jennifer Louise Penley Cheerleader, JV, Captain, Varsity, Co-Captain; FHA; Girls’ Gymnastics; Hi-Y, Sweetheart; History Club; Historian Business Staff; Rebelettes I; SCA Big Sister; Spanish Club; Stunt Talent Night; Senior Class Homecoming Princess, Maid of Honor Bettie Corbin Perry Chamber Ensemble; Cheerleader, JV; Concert Choir, Secretary Concentration, but not the game.

Senior Susan Sions talks with the group of Greek dancers before they give their exhibition at the Virginia Museum. 194 Seniors Guilding it at the Museum Theatres, plays, and museums, all have a touch of class. People enjoy plays and will pay high prices to see a good one. A few students from Free- man got to see plays free of charge when they joined the Youth Guild of the Virginia Museum. The Youth Guild was an organization for those inter- ested in the arts and the museum. Man- y students joined because they were considering working at a museum as a career. One could join the Youth Guild anytime during the year. A member- ship due of one dollar was the only requirement. A student had to put in at least twelve hours of work as an usher or security aid during the year. The ushers were able to see many fa- -mous plays such as Mother Courage and The Good Doctor by Neil Simon. Susan Sions joined the Guild four years ago. She joined the group be- cause she knew one of the sponsors, Mrs. Charles H. Phillips, Jr. “At first, | wasn’t too excited about it,” Susan commented. “But since then it has been a lot of fun. I’ve met peo- ple from different schools, and we’ve done many interesting things.” Her enthusiasm spread and Susan became the membership chairman for the Guild in her senior year. She was able to recruit many Rebels into the Guild- twenty-eight in all, outnumbering all other area high schools. Throughout the years, Susan has seen the offices of the museum and the back stage area such as the dressmak- ers room where all of the costumes are made. Also, trips to New York, Delaware, and Norfolk have been tak- en in the past. Another major pro- ject was a Greek dancing exhibition. Senior Teresa Tyler was also a member of the Youth Guild. She joined after some encouragement from Susan Sions. Teresa “learned a lot about the arts and the museum by participating in the Guild.” For most students, the Youth Guild was a good chance to learn about the Virginia Museum’s many offerings and meet many new people from the Rich- mond area.

It was an orches- tra ensemble for high school stud- ents in the Richmond area who played wind or string instruments. To audition, a prepared piece and some scales were played, and often the judges required some sight read- ing. Those people participating in a school orchestra and taking priv- ate lessons qualified for the Youth Symphony. For those who needed it, scholarship money was available to pay for private lessons. The Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra gave four concerts, all of which were open to the public. The first three were held at the Scottish Rite Temple and the last was given at Dog- wood Dell. Also, one annual pops concert was performed. A variety of music was played. “We have to keep the music interest- ing — not only for the audience, but for the players as well. The music is usually lively and not too long,” commented senior Betsy Stuart. Some specific pieces they played were the Violin Concerto and the Cavalry Or- chestra. A few American pieces have also been performed. Betsy played for the Orchestra for four years. So did another sen- ior from Freeman, Jay Tandlich. He was the principle clarinet player. day played a major part in the Bee- thoven Egmont Overture which con- tained an important clarinet part. He said, “It gives the musician good experience in playing with an orches- tra ensemble and practice for the wind instruments to project while also blending with the strings.” The orchestra gave many aspiring musicians concert and audition ex- perience, even though it may have been intimidating at first. Most of the participants felt that the exper- ience was well worth their time be- cause it benefitted them in so many different ways.

Defined, karate is the Japanese form of martial arts and self defense. Literally, karate means fighting open handed and no weapons. Senior Jack Chen has practiced karate since the tenth grade. When his family received a circular form the Tuckahoe-Y, Jack read the section on the marial arts division and de- cided to take lessons. “I had always been interested in karate, so this was a good oportunity to find out more about it,’ he commented. Jack participated in many of the tournaments held by the YMCA. There were two divisions of the competition. The first one was Kata. In this part of the tournament, the student perform- ed a series of karate moves for the judge. Next, in Kumitos, the students were paired off and participated in a series of competitions until one winner was established. They were ranked by judges who had achieved black belts. Karate benefitted the participant in many ways. It taught self-control and concentration. Karate can be used in many unexpected and surprising situations. Jack felt it was a great way to get in shape. He said, “If anyone has the chance, they should take karate. It will benefit them in many ways.” 198 Seniors David Kohiman sina DECA; Hi-Y Treasurer; Stunt Talent a he Wrestl ing JV, Varsity Ria Martha Springer German Club, Secretary; Historian, Business Staff; String Orchestra Lee ae Dayle Spurrell Be Jean Stanford FBLA, Vice-President; FCA; esident; ee Club; SCA Publicity Committee: SCA Teacher ee acanatieas Committee; SCA R- Cap Committee; SCA Community Affairs Committee; SCA Council; SCA Letter; SCA Big Sister; SODA; Stunt Talent Night, Back Stage Crew; TFF: Junior Prom, Co-Chairman; BDA; Senior Prom Myra Kathryn Stansell Band Elisabeth Ayn Stansfield Art Club; FCA; Forensics; “The Playroom”, Props Committee, ‘ Wilderness”, Make- -up Committee; Rebelettes lV, Secretary; SCA R- -Cap Committee; Stunt Talent Night ae Ravenscroft Stebbins, II] Band; Math- mputer club; Science Club; National Merit Scho arship Semi- Finalist; SCA WDSF Committee drew Marc Steinberg Commentator Literary ont Reporter, Sports Editor; JCL; Dale Allison Sternheimer FHA; French Club, Secretary; FNHS, Vice- Siscoeld Girls’ Varsi Letterman; Girls’ Track, Varsi Letterman; Rebelettes I; SCA Council; A Letter; String Ensemble: Musicians Club’ David Will Sterrett Boys’ Basketball, Varsity; Interact HS; Reaching for perfection.

Some people are interested in football; with me it’s boxing. Maybe it’s the violence. Maybe it’s the extreme training, being in the best shape. Howard: | knew it. | knew he’d say that. That magic about boxing is just unexplainable. I knew it. Muhammed: You practice at the Rich- mond Amateur Boxing Association (RABA) three times a week with three hours for every practice. How is competi- tion set up at RABA? Tracy: The RABA competes with rival gyms in other cities. | have not yet been in any actual competition but Traynter Turpin has. Howard: | knew it. What did I tell you? Muhammed: Do you plan to continue boxing? Tracy: As a hobby, yes. But I’m not going professional. There is a big difference between amateur and pro. Pro’s make their living out of boxing They practice every day. They would kill me or any other amateur. Muhammed: One more question? When and why did you start boxing? Tracy: I started in 1978 because Rocky influenced me and... Howard: | knew it. I knew that mov- ie would inspire people all over the country to try boxing. Tracy: and because it was a way to re- lieve tension and frustration. Haven’t you ever been so uptight that you just wanted to lash out at something? Muhammed: Or someone. Right, Howard? Tracy’s remarks were real. Howard and Muhammed are figments of your i- magination. Seniors 201 Jamaican Sunset The Senior Prom, A day filled with anticipation, A dance that takes months of prepara- tion, Yes, that’s the Senior Prom. It all began months ago, When many bands were picked, But the problem was soon licked With the Backstabbers and lots of dough. Then came months in between With quizzes, exams, and tests, But none the less With February, there were votes on prom theme. There were many choices to choose from. Exciting themes such as Nights on Broad- way, To a disco theme with Dance the Night Away, But, above all others Jamaican Sun- set won. Then there were chairmen to choose, And committees to begin, With hard working young women and men, No one could lose. Many people were needed to work For committees of decoration And more for all preparation And with last minute details, all went bezurk. The hard work was all finished and done, Then came that one special night, With a beach theme gym and fading lights, Yes, the Senior Prom had just begun.

Juniors! The word sounded impor- tant! Now that they were members of the “upper class,” they decided to make the most of it. They even tried to revive the old tradition of “Soph- omores on the floor!” which they had hated so much just the year before. “Our goals were to stage a success- ful prom, raise money for our senior year, and elevate the prestige of the Class of ’81,” said president Bill Robertson. They were successful on all these counts. This was partly due to the fact that juniors elected reliable, responsible officers. Bill Robertson was chosen as president, with John Sims as vice-president. Mary Coates was elected secretary; Larry Weinberg, treasurer; and Ange- la Morris, Honor Council Representa- tive. 204 Juniors The Junior class won second place in the Homecoming float competition with their theme “Cat’s in the Cradle.” Chris Kinter, construction cha irman, and Donna Frostick, design chairman, headed the construction of the float, which was built at Larry Weinberg’s house. The juniors stuck together and worked hard to make their float a winner, and their hard work and enthusiasm paid off. In order to raise money for all their junior and senior activities, the juniors sold buttons and stick- ers, and at Christmas they sold mistletoe. Then there was always the car wash. With the cooperation of the officers and the members of the class, the juniors worked to make the 1970-1980 school year an exceptional one.

Juniors Meade Browder and Terri Seale share in the traditional ring-tuming ceremony on Junior Ring Day. Turning Point In the crowded halls, students had to make an extra effort to squeeze past the groups of juniors who were admiring each others’ new class rings. Juniors rushed about trying to find eighty-one friends who would give their rings good-luck turns, while jealous sophomores studied the rings and tried to decide which style to choose for _ themselves. A few disappointed students decided to return their rings because of mistakes made in their orders. During the spring of their sophomore year, the students had been allowed time to decide on a ring. Some had worked part-time jobs to pay for their rings, while other rings were paid for by parents. When the Eric Cuthbert West Dagra Jennifer David Susan David Janet Davis Susan Davis Steve Dean Jeff DeBar Frank DeBiasi Suzanne Deer Scott Densley Sherrie DiFrancesco Cathy Dohogne Jeff Dolan Kevin Dolliver orders had been filled out and sent away, the students experienced a long , anxious wait for the arrival of their rings. One fall morning, late-coming students arrived at school to find an enormous line emerging from the auditorium doors. It didn’t take long for the juniors as well as everyone else, to find out that the long-awaited rings had finally arrived. Even after many months, when it had become a part of the daily ritual to slip on the class rings, the excitement of having one had not worn off. Each junior would always have a sense of pride every time he looked at the ring that represents the class of ’81!

Music. Balance. Gymnastics. These sound like ballet terms, but to Junior Bill Robertson they are skateboarding terms; he had to learn to coordinate them on wheels. Bill began skateboarding three and a half years ago when some friends convinced him to try it out. He never took a lesson, but learned new stunts out of magazines. Because of the high competition among his friends, Bill became better each time he did it. After a successful string of contests, Bill was flown out to California for the Oceanside Pro-Am. His sponsor was Powerflex of Huntington Beach, and all expenses were paid. He placed fifth in the 13-15 year old category. His skateboard starred in one of the Afterschool Specials, too. A man approached him one day while he was practicing and convinced him to trade his skateboard for a new one. A few months later he spotted his skateboard (with BERO stamped across it) on the T. V. screen. When Bill returned from California he became picky about which contests to enter. He was ranked 2nd in the East, but finally rose to 1st. This summer, Bill and a couple of his friends are considering turning pro with Pepsi- Cola. Although not sure about what he will do, Bill knows that skate- boarding is in his blood and that he won't give it up for quite awhile.

This cry was of- ten heard at Rebel pep rallies thr- oughout the year as the juniors sup- ported their class and school. With the help of the Junior Class officers, they enjoyed a very successful year. The juniors had a number of “imagin- itive” ideas to show their spirit and to distinguish themselves form the rest of the school at pep ral- lies, such as wearing bags over their heads, putting black paper dots on their noses, and wearing strange hats and sunglasses. The Junior Class float, “Cat’s in the Cradle,” won second place in the Homecoming parade. Many hours of hard work were put in at Larry Weinbera’s house every night for about two weeks before hand, as the juniors strug- gled with the production of their float. Yet, the sigh of relief at Denise Lett Mike Lew) Paige Lewis Yvonne Lewis Lee Linas Lesley Lipper Bruce Lippman David Loewenthal Cathy Lowrance Jay Lucas Ron Luque Sandra Maiden Albert Maiolino Carrey Mallory Mike Maloney finally finishing the float, and the exclamation of surprise and pride at placing in the competition, were all well worth the effort. At Christmas, the juniors sold sprigs of mistletoe (as they had also done the previous year) which was a big money making pro- ject. Their spring production of “A Freeman Rebel in King Arthur's Court” for Stunt Talent Night was a smashing success as a result of the combined efforts of the students and the faculty who put in so many hours of hard work. The junior year for the Class of ’81 was a great step toward becoming seniors. They learned about the need for leadership, spirit, effort, and most of all, cooperation. There is no doubt that the Doublas Freeman Class of 1981 will always be a success.

For Junior Cathy Dohogne, this dream came true. Beginning lessons at the age of eight, she was encouraged by her mother, who believed performing would help her overcome her shyness. While taking lessons at the Ashley Academy in Richmond, Cathy was put on toe shoes after her second year, although instructors usually wait until the third or fourth year. Since then, Cathy has been in many performances ranging from a Russian ballet to “The Nutcracker.” About six years ago some friends encouraged her to try out for the Richmond Ballet. The idea had never occurred to her, but she tried out to test what she thought was a slim chance. When a letter came to her in the mail, she was elated to find that she had made the company. As a member, she attended company classes along with her regular ballet classes. Cathy enjoyed being a part of the Ballet because the members got to meet well-known ballerinas and teachers from all over the world. The members had to be willing to come for practice even if the director called without warning. The time that had to be dedicated to practice interfered with Cathy’s schoolwork. Last December, Cathy signed with a Richmond modeling agency in hopes to try modeling as a possible future profession. She doesn’t want to become a professional ballerina be- cause she is interested in other jobs, although she plans to always take dance lessons. “The main reason | keep up with ballet is because I enjoy it and it helps me keep in shape,” commented Cathy. 214 Juniors Dancing Dohogne Ross Prince Susan Prince Steve Pruitt Milburn Ramon Tina Reid Dale Richmond Billy Riggs Chip Ritenour Andrea Robbins Bill Robertson Mark Robertson Danita Robinson Todd Robinson Steve Rogers Andrew Kollins Paul Ross Gary Rumburg Yanina Sanchez Yasmin Sanchez Shari Saslaw Louis Savage Jeffrey Saxon Rick Schaffer Jannie Schepker Tommy Schulze Margaret Scott Margie Scruggs Terri Seal Missy Seay Barry Selph Thomas Shaia Melissa Shakespear Pamela Snyder Chuck Sowers Amy Catherine Sharpe Susan Sharpe Marie Shearon Brad Shelton Molly Shields Mike Shires Jim Shreve Amie Sichi Sheri Siegel Kevin Simms Charles Sims David Sims John Sims Susan Smart Elizabeth Smith John Smith Robin Smith Roxanne Smith Tim Smith Valerie Smith Kelly Snyder ae Prima ballerina.

All are parts of the excitement of a symphony orchestra. Junior Rick Jones experienced this excitement when he became a member of the Richmond Youth Symphony last year. The desire to perform came to him in the second grade when he attended an assembly featuring an instrumental quartet. Although he had already been playing for four years, Rick began to take private lessons in the sixth grade from a member of the symphony. When Rick talked to his instructor about trying out for the Youth Symphony, he was told he wasn’t good enough yet. So Rick waited until last year when he felt he was ready and until he had conjured up enough courage to try out. Kay Ellen Via Mike Waldron Buenos Walker Deborah Wallof Anne Ware Jill Waring Michelle VonBechmann Sandy Wainwright Mary Gorden Waller Rick had to choose the fall or the spring date and had to prepare a piece for the try-outs. After he played the piece he was asked to play scales and to sight-read another piece for the judge. Because of a mix-up in communications, they failed to notify Rick about whether or not he made it. But he was patient and a letter finally reached him in the mail. Rick commented, “IT was really happy when I finally heard that I had made it!” As a part of his regular daily homework, Rick tried to include at least one to two hours of cello practice. He participates in four Youth Symphony concerts a yea r, including one outdoor summer concert at Dogwood Dell. Although he doesn’t plan to become professional, Rick really enjoys playing the cello and hopes to hang onto his talent as a hobby. @ ) Se Mi IS] Ma f ) All strung out.

Officers were elected late in Sep- tember. Keith Cohen was elected president, with Rita Landin as vice- president, Lynn Parker as treasurer, Beth DeMent as secretary, and Michelle Neely as Honor Council Representative. Their task was to organize a class of roughly 590 sophomores into a spirited, working group of people. Their first test was building a float in 3 weeks. Lynn Parker was the princess and “Wreck the Jaguars” was the theme. But when the parade started, the sophomores truck didn't. The battery had died. Mrs. Edney, the sophomores’ sponsor, and about ten boys pushed the truck around the field, rather than drop out of the competition. Next, the dues were collected and the class treasury was established. Their project was selling mugs. A spring yard sale and a basketball game with a local radio station were also planned to help increase the treasury. With these projects established, the basis for future proms and Stunt Talent Night was also established. Organizing the sophomores into a class rather than just a group of kids in the 10th grade at Freeman was the primary goal of the soph- omore class officers. They proved to be highly successful.

He headed towards the section in the stands where some other sophs who had been at Freeman the year before tried to spell out “Sophomore”. Slowly, but surely, Joe was converted to a Rebel, and he found himself proudly defying the upperclass chant, “Sophs on the Floor!” Because of the many “Joe Cools”, the class of 1982 experienced the traditional Beginning-of-the- Sophomore-Year Slump. Officers were not elected until late in September. A float was not begun until two and a half weeks before Homecoming. Lacking organization in early pep rallies, the sophs did not win any spirit sticks. But with the enthusiastic backing of veteran sponsor, Mrs. Edney, the officers spread the word that help was needed to build a float, and the sophomores were on their way. “It was last minute and we changed the theme a couple of times,” explained class president Keith Cohen, “At first, just the same small group of people worked, but near the end, everyone was helping in some way.” After they plastered the float, “Wreck the Jags,” a huge plaster battle followed in celebration. “It was the first time we really got something done together!” Keith said. The sophomores were very visible during the week before Homecoming. During the spirit week, sophs dressed up differently everyday, winding up with a Bright Day. Dressed in rain- bow suspenders, a plaid shirt, and bright pants, Tricia Rice was the “brightest” and won a ticket to the game from the class. Even t hough part of the class had been at Freeman the year before, organizing spirit and participation at the pep rallies were only the result of observing the upper classes and a lot of urging from the JV cheerleaders. Knowing what to do and how to do things was partly the purpose of the sophomore year. “It is sort of trial and error,’ summed up Keith, “but watch out next year!” Sophomores 221 John Gill Robin Gilpin Ned Glascock Mike Goodman Stuart Goodman Leslie Goolsby Cathi Gouldthorpe Robin Grabinski Eddie Graf Buddy Graham Cheryl Lynn Gravett David Green Judy Greenstreet Mike Gregory Anna Grimsley Tish Gross Ron Grzeshiewicz Tommy Gutzmer Jimmy Guy Donna Hagstrand Lynn Hale Keith Halenda Mary Lou Hall Alison Haller Tracy Hammond Carolyn Hanson Debbie Harkins Connie Harper Start your engines Seldom did a class seem to drag more for sophomores than Driver’s Education. Every student counted off the days until he could receive his Learner's Permit and eventually his Driver's License. Who will forget the high points of the class: driving at break-neck speeds in the simulators and attacking cones on the range. This ‘“‘recrea- tion” alleviated the tedious class- room work that most people found unenjoyable. 222 Sophomores Most people agreed that their favorite parts of classroom train- ing were the gory movies that were shown throughout the course. Will any of the sophomores ever forget the IPDE Process that was drilled into their heads? (Remember: Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute.) The most appreciated segments of the class were those dealing with car main- tenance, insurance and buying a car. They helped sophomores to prepare for future driving.

Because sophomores had to wait until they had finished Driver’s Education to receive their license, they were forced to rely on friends and family for all of their rides. Most people preferred finding rides with older brothers or sisters rather than with a parent. Older friends lucky enough to own a car were the favorite means of transportation. Double dating was popular — with the sophomores that is! Sophomores felt “uncool” when they had to await their parents arrival after club meetings. A common sight from 3:30 onward was a group of sophomores congregated around the flagpole. All soph- omores wished for the day when they would sit behind the wheel of a car — without a parent sitting in the passenger seat.

Sophomore Susan Roberts would surely answer this question with “swim.” Susan has been swimming for four years with the Briarwood of Richmond Aquatic Club. She first started swimming with the AAU because she, “wanted something to do during the summer.” She is now swimming butterfly and freestyle with the state team, which requires year-round practice instead of just summer work. She goes straight to practice every day at the Briarwood Club and swims until eight o'clock at night. About two days a week, Susan attends morning practice from five until six-thirty. She explained that swimming interferes with her grades because it takes up so much of her time. At the begin- ning of school, she gets tired quickly from her strenuous practices. Susan is interested in pursuing a scholarship to the University of Virginia and plans to continue her swimming through college.

The Junior Assembly is a Cotillion for 6th through 9th graders. Dances are held for each grade on every other Saturday during the school year at the Women’s Club in downtown Richmond. After dancers “graduate” from the Cotillion in ninth grade, they may go on to teach dance steps to the younger children. Several sophomores at Freeman worked as instructors or “helpers” at the Junior Assembly. They were assigned to certain jobs which they had to complete during the evening. Some helpers opened Coke bottles for the refreshment intermission. Others handed out ribbons for danc- ing excellence. They were paid only five dollars a night for their work, but most helpers enjoyed the chance of teaching young child- ren the art of dancing.

About the newest trend in boy’s wear was a look made popular han pore within the past few years — the “hiber- — Haves Racer nating alligator.” This was a Ellen Spirop Lacoste alligator shirt worn under- neath a button down oxford cloth shirt. In the way of coats, the latest looks were the all-weather trench coats for girls and, of course, the down coats and vests for boys.

This topic of conversation was a focus of casual interest for some students, or a perfect opportunity to sleep through government class, depending on individual interests. Foreign students claimed wide interest on Foreign Language Day, when exchange students from other area schools came to give insights into their particular country. But how many students knew that there was a suprising number of Rebels who were originally foreign citizens themselves? Coming from Lebanon, Iran, Korea, and Nicaragua to DSF might not have been so bad, but actually learning our customs, language, and way of life (sounds like history class) was the really hard part. The students’ best American connection turned out to be a teacher in many cases. Mrs. Chance’s fourth period ESL (English as a Second Language) class often turned out as a honorable source of accurate translations to confusing American phrases or sayings. The original purpose of ESL was to reinforce English grammar and reading skills, since most students had a smattering of English before armiving at DSF. But often the class provided a needed break from fast- speaking teachers and students, to a slower, more helpful atmosphere where opinions and questions could be aired. 232 Sophomores Brian Turlington Mark Turnage Catherine Turner Kelly Turer Lorraine Turner Sherry Tyler Scott Umplet Stuart Uridel Kim Usry Keith Vida Paul Walker Chuck Wall Candy Wallace Jody Wallace Mindy Wallace Julie Waller Karen Warren Druanne Waters Brent Watts Ginny Watts Julie Weaver Terri Webb Cheryl Weick Todd Weinberg Lee Wells Good Chance.

According to Paul Weinberg, the freshmen were a little afraid when they first came to the new atmosphere at high school. He and the other officers planned to help their class in every way and give it all their support. Instead of being the traditionally abused class, everyone wanted to make the Freshman class outstanding. Because class dues didn’t bring in enough money for the treasury, the officers had to discover other profit- making projects. Plans included car washes, paper drives, and doughnut or candy sales. Freshman officers for 1979-1980 informed their class of school activities on their bulletin board in the Main Hall. They wanted everyone involved in the extra- curricular activities at Freeman. As honor council representative Frances Garrett said, they “wanted to enjoy themselves and feel like a part of the school.” Freshman 235 236 Freshmen A New and Amazing Maze Frankie Freshman and Sally Senior bumped into each other in the auditorium on the first day of school. Clutching his map tightly, Frankie was as confused as most of Freeman’s newcomers. An eavesdropper closely listened to their conversation. Frankie: Please! Tell me where to go! Where’s the English Department? Sally: Oh sure. That’s way on the other side of the school in Green Acres. Frankie: Green what? Sally: Green Acres— like the TV show. That’s the only air-conditioned part of the school. Frankie: Well, how do you get there? Is it near the Annex? Sally: Near the Annex? Well, it’s not too far from that. You take a left, a right, another left, and only two more rights. Just follow the signs to the pool. Frankie: Thanks a lot! I hope I can make it around here. Sally: You can do it. Just give it the ol’ Rebel try! Hey! Wait! If you want to get there really fast I'll sell you an elevator pass.

Mary, a freshman, hoped that synchronized swimming would be included as an event in the 1984 Summer Olympics. This event had never before been included in the Olympic Games. Mary’s interest in synchronized swimming began nine years ago when she took a class on this particular sport and enjoyed it. Throughout the year, she swam on a team called Octopi. Mary practiced and perfected her skill and style by continually working on her sculling and strok- ing motions. She made up her own routines for competition that lasted under four minutes. Mary placed seventh in the Junior Olympic Nationals at Lincoln, Nebraska in competition there last Sara Moore Cornelia Moriconi Mary Morrissey Donna Mouney John Muehlheuser David Oakley Jay Narron Stuart Napier Ernie Paskey Mork Pounders Vivi Poulos David Pitts Edward Piper summer. She has reached the Lisa Peers National Division Competitions five Besapaoriceal times. Because much of Mary’s week is taken up with practice, she had to give up some of her favorite activ- ities. She has been forced to give up one of her favorite entertain- ments, dancing, for lack of time. Mary’s determination showed when she said, “The work is hard, but I still have fun.” Chris Palmer Laura Rauppius Donnie Reynolds Robert Rice Freshmen 239 Another Austin, Evert, or Bunsavage?

Billie Jean King. Virginia Wade. Martina Navrotilova. Bonnie Bunsavage. Bonnie Busavage? That’s right! Bonnie, a freshman at Freeman, hoped to play one day on the pro tennis curcuit. Bonnie’s interest in tennis began in 1976 through encouragement by her parents and her brother, Steffan. She played for the ’79-’80 season on the school team. Her success in the sport had been great. She was ranked eighth in the state for her age group of 14 and under. Bonnie commented, “I enjoy competitions because they give me an opportunity to travel out of the state.” She attended a national tournament in Florida as well as several matches around Virginia. Bonnie was interested in tennis as a career, although she would not like to coach the sport at a high school. She said that she would like to travel around the world and play on the tennis circuit as a professional.” To make her tennis game profes- sional material, Bonnie devoted much of her time to practice. On weekdays, she usually spent two hours on the court. On weekends that time was often increased to as much as five hours. Perhaps someday all that work will make Bonnie a “Superstar.” Freshmen 241 Ice Castles Icy Giants.

Closing 253 Fabulous Freeman Fads Just like any other year, fads came and went. Some big hits among students were “Leave it to Beaver” and “ Saturday Night Live.” “Leave it to Beaver” was espec- ially popular among many of the girls Locate they thought Wally was such a “heart-throb.” Earlier in the year, several seniors appeared at pep rallies dressed as the ex-police and ex-meter maids, showing the effect “Satur- day Night Live” had on the lives of the students. On the many days off from school due to snow, several stu- dents found themselves enjoying 254 Closing snow surfing, more commonly known as “snurfing.” The most popular place for “snurfing” was at the power lines behind Ridge Road. Of course, if they had the money, many headed for the slopes, such as Wintergreen, Massanutten, or any of the other popular ski resorts in the area. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Rebels had a certain enthusiasm about them which always kept them going. They were always going new places, doing new things, and meeting new people. All this was because the sun always seemed to shine on the Rebels. Flower children.

Closing 255 Once a Rebel, Always a Rebel When the textbooks were all handed in, the final exams were over, and all the halls and class- rooms were emptied, everyone realized that another year had come and gone. Little did they realize that it was not just an ordinary year, but rather the year that the sun always seemed to shine on the Rebels. This was the sun that gave everyone the time to work on and be a part of Stunt Talent Night and The Matchmaker while it also gave the oppor- tunity to turn out the school’s publications. This was also the same sun that gave the juniors and seniors the chance to put on a successful prom. It was the sun which seemed to help everything turn out right in the end. By taking part in all these extracurricular activities, stu- dents were tied to Freeman. This was because they felt as a part of the school and not just students. For those who had graduated, they, too, would always feel a part of Freeman, by attending alumnae pep rallies and Homecoming, for as long as the sun continued to shine, they would always be Rebels.
