James, our principal. In past years, the yearbook was dedicated to someone who showed extreme dedication to the school. We feel that Mr. James displays that quality, plus much more. A familiar face in the crowd, Mr. James is often present at such activities as an athletic event, a Back-to-School night, a carnival, a dance or an NJHS induction. He also takes an active part in the T A program. Perhaps most importantly, Mr. James maintains a very close contact between the administration, the parents and the students. Mr. James shows us everyday that he is not just an administrator but also an advisor, a teacher, an inspira- tional leader, and above all, our friend. STORY COLLECTION Half my life ' s in books written pages lived and learned from fools and from sages . You know it ' s true, all these things come back to you classes 13 Humanities In the beginning God said, “ h fi xv p r % must be finite” and then there was light. Ninth and eighth graders alike must take math. Whether it ' s algebra, pre-algebra, fundamentals or geometry, the point will get across. Math will always be with us. It doesn’t matter if it’s reading maps or learning that the Greeks were conquered by the Romans, because Social Studies is a required subject for all ninth graders. It is an elective for eighth graders. In Social Studies you have a choice of World History, World Geography, American History or Civics. English is one of the few subjects in which people can express themselves. A study of literature is incorporated in to the accelerated English classes while other groups study verbs, nouns, pronoun, prepositions and exclamations. English is required in both eighth and ninth grade and requires the stu- dents to write essays, poetry, compositions and short stories. 15 Students choose a foreign language class on their own free will because they know it will enlighten their knowledge of the language they take and they will experience a part of the country they study. Whether it’s French, German, Latin or Spanish, it is a lot of hard work, but it’s all worth it when you know you are taking another step towards making your college dreams come true. 16 I Two types of Science are taught at Dozier. Eighth grade physical science is required while earth science taught in the ninth grade is an elec- tive. These courses give you the opportunity to experiment with new equipment and participate in lab activities. All this information prepares you for the construction of your science project. Exceptional projects are eligible for city-wide competition. Science 17 I Music Dozier is well-known across the city for its excellent Music Department. Students interested in music have several areas to choose from: Cho- rus, Band, Orchestra, and Guitar. Judging by the large enrollment in these classes, music is defi- nitely a universal language. 18 Art classes are definitely not just for talented artists. The only requirements are enthusiasm and initiative. Students use their creativity in many art-related areas, such as painting, draw- ing, and making leather crafts and carvings from soap and wood. The Art Department also pro- vides scenery for plays and other school produc- tions, and ornaments for the Christmas trees in the Dozier Commons and at Newmarket North. Art 19 Home Economics Even though sewing and cooking are the major sub- jects taught in Home Ecomomics, personal appear- ance, home decorating, and child care are also cov- ered. This course definitely provides an excellent back- ground for the future home maker. 20 Students enrolled in business classes prepare them- selves for the future in many ways. They learn about managing a budget, balancing a checkbook, and how to type and take shorthand. In addition, they choose any interesting career, research it thoroughly, and write a term paper on it, thereby becoming familiar with the proper format. Business 21 I Heal+h P.E. “Pffffffft! All right! Squad lines . . . Ready! . . . Exercise!” So begins a typical physical edu- cation class. This year, boys and girls were together for the first time. Another first was Coach Linkenauger’s unit on P.E. Science, which emphasized the relationship of physical fitness to the functions of the human body. While eighth graders have an entire year of P.E., ninth graders are required to take one semester of health. 22 The aim of the Industrial Arts course is to expose the student to the world of work, which is the basis of our industrial society. Students expe- riment with tools, materials and equipment. As he studies wood, metal, and plastics, he learns more about his own abilities and interests. This knowledge may eventually lead to a wise and informed choice of a meaningful career in an industrial area.

More indepth study, however, reveals that Dozier is actually a miniature nation. Our king is, of course, Mr. James, who rules with a firm hand. He is advised by his court, which consists of: Mr. Lloyd Eason, who, is in charge of ninth grade discipline, Mrs. Carol Lamboitte, assistant principal for instruc- tion, and Mr. Terry O’Toole, eighth grade discipline. The rest of the staff, shown on the opposite page, represents the loyal subjects. Completing the pic- ture are the teachers, or land-owners, and the stu- dents, who symbolize the working class.

I know it ' s everybody ' s sin; you got to know how to lose to know how to win. sports 67 Soccer Dozier’s first sport event of the year brings about much interest and enthusiasm. After getting pretty well situated in school, many of Dozier ' s soccer players came out for the new season. Hours of practicing, with a lot of running, was the scene every day after school while preparing for the first game. Along with all of the special skills needed, such as blocking shots from the opponents, bouncing the ball off your head, or juggling it with your feet and knees, teamwork is the greatest necessity. Not much can be done without it. This is Coach Linkenauger’s first year here at Dozier, and, although it took a while, the soccer team turned out a fairly good record. Besides doing well in the regular season, they did an excellent job in the District Tournament, where they placed third. Above: Deep in his own territory, Billy Webster tries to kick the ball downfield to more Dragon teammates. Right: A pair of Dragons move the ball a little closer to the goal. Goalie Todd Roach makes another save. Nobody ever said being a goalie was easy. i 68 At left: Victor Wooten attempts a goal in the game against Carver.

One of the many new sports started at Dozier this year is Field Hockey, a fast-moving game that requires endurance, speed, coordi- nation, and most of all, teamwork. Most of the girls had never played the game before, but under the careful coaching of Mrs. Sweet, the team put together a respectable season. More- over, the members who plan to play Field Hockey in the future gained valuable experi- ence. After a good finish in the regular season, the team lost to Carver by a narrow margin, 1- 0, in the District semi-finals. Dozier’s first Field Hockey season definitely gives a promis- ing outlook for coming years. Above: Charlotte Alfred dribbles the ball downfield as the Dozier offensive line advances against Newport News. Below: In practice, Judy Weber and Sandra Malave prepare for the next game. Back Row: Harriet Sweet (Coach), Celeste Koeleveld, Susan Johnson, Lisa Hall, Charlotte Alfred, Sandy Nordaby, Sandra Malave.

Bottom left: The entire team rejoices in victory after a hard-fought battle with Newport News. 71 M I Basketball Not a Losing Year , but a Rebuilding Season ! The basketball players could be easily recognized on game days by their three-piece suits, but the teamwork displayed on the court was unfortunately not as fancy as the flashy clothing. New to the scene this year was girl’s basketball and a combined 8th and 9th grade team. The Dragons would come out fighting, but all too often they couldn’t keep it together and started falling behind. Many indi- vidual talents were displayed, but this was not enough to win the games. The members of the girls basketball team were: Bottom Row: Audrey John- son, Judy Weber, Sandra Galloway, Karen Cooter. Second Row: Dana Feasel, Kim Brown, Ronnell MacRae, Dorthia Holmes and Sharon Banks. Left: Jeri Weber jumps for the Dragosn. Below: John Kirk scores two more for Dozier against Carver. 72 The members of the boys basketball team are: Coach Ashe, Manager Ken Dudley, Derik Glenn, John Kirk, Curtis Duberry, Reid Kyle, Marshall Barnes, Eric Harris, Donald Stingfield, Manag- ers Tony Owens, John Persiri, Greg Powel, Tom Joyce, Ron Frazier, LenoVeney.

After Coach Edward’s departure last year. Coach Linkenauger stepped in to fill the gap. Though he was inexperienced in wres- tling, his presence held the team together. Though the year got off to a slow start, one problem occured through out the season. There weren’t enough wrestlers. In the first match, against Huntington, over one-fourth of the matches were forfeited. The overall record was not the highest this year, but experience was gained, and this will carry through until next year. 1 1 Dozier Wrestling Opponent 9 Huntington 67 9 Newport News 66 15 Carver 53 26 Huntington 40 10 Newport News 46 8 Carver 52 Wins — 0, Losses — 6 ! Watching the final seconds count down is Rob- ert Scott, in his victory against Newport News. Herchell Kilgo wins again! Kilgo went undefeated in the 138-pound weight class, and led the Dragons in pins with four. He also placed first in the District Tournament. 74 Robert Scott takes the upper holding the Referee’s Position, as he awaits the start of third round action. The Best Racquet Around Anticipating another winning season of tennis are the Mighty, Dozier Dragons. Back Row: Coach Linkenauger, Mark Johnson, Herchell Kilgo, Ken Alexander, Curtis Swanson, Mike Corwin, Troy Kenyon. Front Row: Mark Sellers, Chris Burgess, Robert Scott, Tom Griffin, Anthony Wooden. Trying to get an “escape” is Tom Griffin in his match against New- port News. Nearing the close of winter, Dozier’s finest hit the courts, getting ready for the new sea- son. For some reason, cold practices, aching muscles, and long hours don’t seem to intimi- date these anxious students. Mont Linkenauger hopes to turn out a win- ning year to celebrate his first season coach- ing the Dragons. Returning from last season are Bruce Brunk, David NeeSmith, Michelle Miller, and Kathy Creedon. While all the play- ers strive to improve their game, only the very best, the top eight, will compete in the matches. Stroking a small yellow ball back and forth across a net may be some peoples idea of ten- nis, but to the mighty Dragons, it ' s the season for “Wheaties”, the breakfast of champions! Due to the early deadline, pictures were not available. 75 Gymnastics Dozier’s first gymnastic’s team captures 2nd in District Tournament Gymnastics is a sport that requires skill, hard work, determination, discipline, and training. Dozier’s first gymnastic team was formed this year by (Head) Coach Anne Bin- der. Several weeks of practice every day after school got the gymnasts in shape for their first meet. The Dragons were strong during the season, and went into the District Tournament with hopes of placing first. The competition was tough, and they finished with a strong 2nd.

The high average, however, is only one element of consideration. In addition, a candi- date is judged on character, service, leadership, and citizenship. The purpose of the society is to promote these five ideals. New members are inducted by candlelight ceremonies in the fall and the spring. The NJHS is a very active organization at Dozier. Various members are involved in peer tutoring, a “featured teacher’’ bulletin board, and the book- store. Furthermore, a canned food drive was held at Christmas, and a field trip to Patrick Henry Hospital was taken in April. Finally, the end of the school year is celebrated with a picnic at Newport News Park. Above: Inductees prepare to repeat the pledge at the induction. At right: Members socialize at the reception after the ceremony. The NJHS meets to discuss the fall induction. 80 Faculty Council: Sarah Brown, Dale Hargrave, Elaine Ball (spon- Officers: (standing) David NeeSmith, Vice President, Kristin Seg- sor), Debra 0 Neal, (not shown) Wilbert Ashe, Lorraine Hinds, alini, secretary, Donna Izzo, representative, (seated) Michelle Ernestine Davis, Sandra Brown, Amy Sturgis.

There are a group of cheer- leaders for the 9th grade which are pictured above, and a group of cheerleaders for the 8th grade which are on the next page. They cheer the Dragons on at basketball and soccer games as well as at wrestling matches. 82 Cheerleaders The 8th Grade Cheerleaders Out of action. - 83 Band The Dozier Band works hard to learn music in order to compete in Christmas Parades, put together half-time shows, and to perform for concerts and band festivals.

They study characterization, body movements and voice. This year they have performed for the Reading Fair and presented the “Hobbit”. Drama lets students express themselves as they portray other char- acters. Art Club The Art Club gives the Dozier students an opportunity to express themselves through their artistic talents. They provided hand-made ornaments for the Christmas Tree at Newmarket Nort. FHA — There is a club at Dozier called the Future Homemakers of America (FHA).

Isn ' t that the way — everybody ' s got their dues in life to pay? I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes Half my life’s in books written pages; Lived and learned from fools and from sages You know it ' s true, all these things come back to you. Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter ' n ' sing for the tears Sing with me if it’s just for today maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away. Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, dream yourself a dream come true Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, and dream until your dreams come true. Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, ah — Ah — Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter ' n ' sing for the tears. Sing with me if it’s just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
