They also have a food basket drive, so that families in need may have a pleasant holiday dinner, as well as a Penny-An-Inch drive, in which each student is to give a penny for each inch of his heighth, this is also given to needy Telling stories to children has made Adam Kaul a special touch to the Christmas spirit.

The Delma Tri-Hi-Y organizes one Saturday in which members invite young children to come and enjoy Christmas stories they read. As students we are also given extra Christmas treats. Mr. Blevins goes to every homeroom and presents each student with a candy cane and a warm holiday wish, this is a tradition that is looked forward to by all students. We also receive extra lunch time that last day of school before vaca- tion, a free ice cream that same day, and an enjoyable Christ- mas assembly put on by the Band, Chorus, and our own special faculty. The spirit of Christmas is enjoyed by all. It has become a custom at Great Bridge to give to those who need so that they may have a Merry Christmas too!

h e n a s k e d to describe Mr. Bob Robinson, two words popped up From everywhere. They Were, nf course, dedication and spirit. Nhy dedication and spirit you isk? For the simple reason that Vlr. Robinson fully dedicates lespite his hectic schedule, Mr. Lobinson takes time out for a spirited mile. BGB RDBINSON A dedicated man to his school and family, Cedric Howard himself to whatever cause needed. His spirits remain high throughout the course of the year no matter how many mishaps occur. These are two of the most important reasons why we dedicated the Causeway to him this year. Mr. Robinson began his coach- ing career at Great Bridge High in 1976, serving the offensive line coordinator for five of the last nine years and defensive coordinator for two years when in 1983 he was appointed head coach. In his first two seasons as head coach our football team became district champions. Before coming to Great Bridge he played tackle and guard for the College of William and Mary. This was a continuation of his high school career at Cambridge High School in Maryland where he was an All- State tackle and the football team captain. Aside from coaching, in 1982 Mr. Robinson was regarded as Teacher of the Year. This was a definite honor because he was chosen as the best in his field by his co-workers. Bob Robinson is truly a man of all occasions especially when it comes to his wife Barbara and daughter Margie. For them as with us he goes out of his way to help and support our many activities. As stated by Cedric Howard, He is a dedicated man to his school and family! Explaining the next set of plays, Coach Robinson directs Bruce Rohr onto the field. Watching intently, Coach Robinson and Coach Webb decide when the team should go in for the blitz. Dedication 23
