Frank W Cox High School - Talon Yearbook (Virginia Beach, VA)

The total student body en- gaged in and provided one another with some of the most thrilling, most touching, most intensely inCOXitating mo- ments imaginable. What feel- ing could compare to the fever pitch of Homecoming week and all of the inter-class competitions? Who would have dreamed that our pockets and our hearts would have opened so widely for the United Way? Who could have made us laugh as much as Donald Morris on Hero Day or Dr. Burletine Karlen as she donned a cheering uniform and led us in a Homecoming cheer? Could any other school boast an SCA president who reached such heights as Wendell Cosenza? These and other people entertained and enthralled us at isolated times. Combined, they made up the inCOXitating experience that was our Student Life. The inCOXitating spirit of Christmas is spread by Tammy Tasheil o and Allison Davis via Christmas ba!loon-a-grams. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ' PSHWQ O 7

Ram had been predicted all day, and many seniors were wishing they had voted to hold gradu- ation at the Pavilion. However, when the sun broke through the gray sky in the late afternoon , it was obvious that the choice to hold the ceremony in the stadium was the best one. The proud parents and guests of 500 graduating seniors filed into the stadium and found seats on the bleachers while anxiously awaiting the commencement of the service. The traditional Pomp and Cir- cumstance could be heard as the ecstatic seniors marched onto the field. Several speakers were scheduled, including Mr. Bill Whitehurst. Following his talk, Susan Wood gave a memorable valedictory speech. Finally it was time for the seniors to receive their diplomas. While Mr. Williams and Mr. Porter announced the students' names. Dr. Karlen and Mrs. Waters shook hands and distributed diplomas. The service was finally completed , and 500 hats flew up into the air. The happy graduates marched off of the field to meet their parents and attend the reception in the cafeteria.
