Cox Headmaster HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1973 As I sit writing this note in late November, your class rides a crest of good will and fellowship which ren- ders the Whole world your own special playground. And yet, by the time you receive this edition of The Log, some of you will already be looking beyond the group and dreaming of new worlds on other campuses. A year from now you may well iind it dif- ficult to recreate the deeply personal feelings you shared with your classmates at the Arva in October of your senior year. You may even wonder whether your little Camelot ever existed. Well, class of '73, it did exist! You put it all together and, for at least a little time, you conjured up a magic spell that normally blesses only the very young and innocent or the very old and wise. You have spelled life as capital LOVE and have found contentment and fulfillment in friends, surprise birthday parties, all night talk-ins, and silly notes to snoobies on the blackboard. You are right now reliving days de- scribed by Wordsworth a century and a half ago: There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and freshness of a dream. Seeing people happily sharing themselves, sharing joys and silent secrets and a thousand little kind- nesses-seeing this in my iirst senior class at the Academy has been great. Indeed, I thank you for what you have given me this year. For you have repeatedly renewed my sometimes failing faith in this school as the chance to learn that joy really does belong in education and in life. We have prepared you well for the academic tasks ahead. If the Academy has helped you discover the beauty of order and reason, we have done even bet- ter. But above all else, it is my fervent prayer that you, my iirst class here, may keep alive that glowing spark of love and understanding for others you share at this moment. Nourish it and think of it as your greatest memory of Hampton Roads Academy. Bless you -all! Robert E. Cox seen frequently dancing down the halls, has the most forehead of anyone in the whole school, drops in room one for chats, always busy, keeps us all on our toes, new ideas and a hard worker to implement them, serves as a front for the REAL people who run the school QAlbert, among othersj, great guy. ,W FORM VI faQmg,?3,1x,ww m I 5SQ:.is.:1...'m '- Clockwise from left: Parnham, Moorman, Spoor Browning.

But 4 years and 23 victories ago Lester Grace, and his wife, Nancy, came to Newport News with determination of developing an athletic pro- gram at HRA. As one parent was heard to remark, God sent us his 'Grace'. In his first year, Coach Grace, after only one summer of practice, had molded some 30 upperclassmen into football play- ers. The squad rolled up 6 straight victories, in- cluding an upset over West Point. The contributions of Coach Grace extended far beyond 100 yards. They stretched through the school, into the class rooms and out to the parents. As the football team responded to their coach, so did the Academy. School spirit came alive, and the players began to find greater support from the stu- dents. Coach Grace kept everything in perspective and he felt that athletic programs should con- plement the overall educational process, not take precedence over it. However, on the field, Coach Grace demanded and received 1007, from each player. After hearing that Kenston Forest would be Grace's last game as Head Coach, one senior said, I only wish he had told us at the beginning of the sea- son, because we would have 'killed' everybody we played. All those things you hear about building character cannot be said about Lester Grace. He did not build character, he gave it away. You drew from him and you just wish it could have been more. We hope that the school never loses the services of Coach Grace, because he is irreplaceable. 62 63 VARSITY FGOTBALL OK VIRGI IA The 1972 Hampton Roads Academy football squa fought to a predicted 5-3 winning ledger-predicte because the team performed as expected in winnin and losing. However, what was not predicted was th competition. The opponents were the toughest i Academy history, with six of our opposing team ending with winning seasons. HRA's team was wel stocked with experienced players, including seven re turning Seniors. Football started with that unprecedented evil-sum mer practice. The two-a-day sessions, under the di rection of Coach Lester Grace and Coach Horace Un derwood began to mold the veterans into effectiv units, while serving to bring together some promisin new faces of Iuniors and Sophomores into the H football system.

Ti- dewater proved to be a stronger team than expected and made the Navigators work hard for the 8-6 win. The play was also typical. The squad tallied their score early in the game and depended on the defense the rest of the way. The defense was called upon to stop many of the opponent's drives, and set up sev- eral touchdowns for HRA during the course of the year. The offense was centered around a Well devel- oped running attack. The backs, led by Tom Wash and Danny Williams- and scored over seventy points in eight games. Blocking Back Bill Bandy was the un- sung hero of the backlield, keying most TD's. The greatest team effort came on the closing day of the football season against Kenston Forrest when the squad combined its best two halves of football to stop the Kavaliers 21-0. This winning effort reflected no super star, but a cooperative spirit developed into a mature, well knit, hard working team under the lead- ership of Coaches Grace and Underwood, l 67 I g 68 jv FOQTBALL first row 1. to r.

The junior varsity football team had a productive and promising season-its iirst in several seasons. This year's squad fought for two victories against Gloucester Intermediate to counter three setbacks. The team was led by quarterback Ieff Cogen, a smart newcomer to the game. Much of the scoring was done by Davis Wild- man, a halfback. Much is expected of him in the future. Another great improvement over past years was the conducting of regular practices by Coach Land, whose leadership will help other teams. - , ..Hv' A - - 1-HC .. . If 70 GIRLS' SOCCER GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' Soccer was a bunch of determined and often cold females out to learn some basic skills, build stamina, and have fun though there was something incongruous about hearing the coach herself a girl fMiss Rhoda, that isj running about screaming, shouting, wailing, crying the words Come on, you guysf' The whole gang on the hill. Certainly better than a bunch of guys. While Virginia General Assembly was debating the equal rights bill for women, HRA introduced its first girls' basketball team. The Long Haired Hoppers took their game seriously, with practice ev- ery day. The team was composed of girls from the junior class to the eighth grade and their coach Mrs. Crowe. The squad fared very well, for girls, that is. I. to r.

Field Hockey has been a tradition at Hampton Roads Academy. From the beginning the school has had one winning record after another and this year was no exception. However, the 1972 team was in many ways unique from all previous ones, and although this difference was not so very evident just by glancing at the scores, it could easily be felt by anyone in contact with the team. Cawood Brooks, who was voted captain of the Varsity, provided excellent leadership throughout the season but even more important succeeded in drawing the team together by strong organization, hard practices, and continued devotion. The result was eleven girls who had become not only teammates but also close personal friends. Their willingness to work together in practices, on the field and off, was reflected by the team's skill and ability when to the cry, Ray Ra Motleys , the Navigators began each game with a lasting enthusiasm. Coach Dottie Rhoda, who came to the Academy this year from Michigan State University, worked with the team for the first time in the fall. With added help from Mrs. Ada Scarborough, who spent many afternoons helping both teams and who often ofiiciated H.R.A. games, Miss Rhoda was able to say at the season's close, It was the best team I've ever had. When the last scheduled game was over the girls participated in the Tidewater Field Hockey Association Tournament where each player is recognized for individual skill. The Academy set a new record this year when Susan Cox, Kay Williams, Carroll Bull, Sue Gunn, Trish Watkins and Terry Eubank made second team and Leslie Brown and Leigh Morris were chosen for honorable mention. In November the members of both the Varsity and I.V. teams held their annual Field Hockey Banquet where Nancy Pile was named the Most Valuable Player. It is here that the teams become the closest when highlights of the season are remembered and the victories and sometimes the defeats are relived. This year's 1972 team earned a record that is exceptional even by H.R.A. standards and, because most of the players return next fall, look forward to another winning season next year. . , clockwise from left our cap- tain scores againlg Leslie Brovim takes her anger out on the goalie: Heath Phillips manuevers the ball by again 73 ml.

As an opening obstacle the team had to lind a place for holding practice because it was unknown when the new gymnasium would be completed. Unfortunatly the first game in the new facility will have to wait until the '73-74 campaign. Few questions about the team or its coach could be answered initially, but one thing was sure in each player's heart, said team captain Mauro Zuliani, This year we're gonna win more than one game With winning as the objective, Coach Underwood started physical conditioning in the fall with hard practice following in November. Underwood's team went through the most extensive set of drills in the school's his- tory. As Hal Smith commented on the practice sesions, We ran until we felt we would drop, but we knew it takes prime conditioning to win basketball games. Returning from last season's starting line up were Mauro Zuliani, the only senior on the team, and Hal Smith. Both held their positions as guards. On the front line were I. W. Hornsby, Iimmy Edwards, and Charlie Cox. Hornsby was a new students to the school while Cox had seen limited action last year.

Unfortunately in a freak accident during a game at the begin- ning of the season, Edwards broke his leg and was hospitalized for a week. Coming off the bench was Ieff Alexander up from the I.V. team of a year past. The Navigators only saw victory five times during the regular season, at least fulfilling the preductiong twice against Christchurch and Iewish Community Center and once at Gill School. In their initial victory at the hands of I.C.C., the fast break started working, with Zuliani and Smith taking scoring honors. A string of defeats was finally stopped by the team's second victory over Iewish Community Center. The game was deadlocked at the half, but the Navigators blasted I.C.C. with the determination to win. This attitude did not stop with I.C.C. and in their next two outings the team rolled up victories against Christchurch and Gill School. In both games it was the big baskets of Ieff Alexander that brought home wins in the close affairs. Those three games were the whole season to me , stated Charlie Cox. It brought us a long way because we learned we could win and what it really feels like to win. In their second victory over Christchurch, HRA was in control the whole game. The win was the teams' most impressive, stopping the Seahorses cold, while executing the Navigator's game plan. Even though their record was far from exemplary this year's basketballers, Coach Underwood's cagers, were in top physical condition, a well disciplined team that responded to his demands and they knew their game. However this team lacked the confidence needed to become consistent winners. They seem to play better when they are a little behind, said Coach Grace, after a disappointing three point loss, which typified the season for the Navigators. This year's experience can be used to advantage next year. E tj i fans.

The squad ended with a 9-12 ledger always with the will and want to win. The offensive attack was most stressed by iirst year coach, Tom Parnham. The players scored over 1100 points in 21 games. The shooting average was 38'Z1 topping anything of years past. The cagers were led by eighth grader, Bill Shelly, who scored an aver- age of 20 points per game. Chip Seward hit 15 per outing. Many of our stars this year were members of last year's squad who had seen a great deal of action. In the '73-'74 campaign only three members will go up to varsity. The teamwork and united desire to win that bound these and the less experienced players to- gether as one makes it virtually impossible to choose one or two who did the most for a winning team. The top eight players who did the most for a winning team. The top eight players interchanged positions so that it is equally diiiiculty to pick the iirst string. A team that gives all it has to give in a game and yet is within the boundaries of good sportsmanship is one that is not easily forgotten. The year of 1972-1973 has produced a excellent I.V. team of which we can all be proud. new X X i n 'Ii'- ll 552211 . 84 L This year's Cross Country team saw the greatest de- velopment of any sport at the Academy. For the first season in several years the team had an experienced and dedicated coach, Mr. Parnham. Although HRA did not produce a fantastic record each athlete made great personal strides of improvement, and the com- ing of next fall brings with it a promising season. The team was lead to three victories by I.W, Hornsby, a junior. Other runners included lay Ioseph, Warren Moore, Hal Smith, jeff Alexander and Bootsie Hatch- ett. We really had a good year because everybody worked on their times, and cut them down, said Hornsby. Cross-Country is an individual sport, where the runner only beats or falls short of his personal ex- pectation. However, this perpetual movement allows one self-satisfaction not found in any other sport. It is lonely at times and seemingly endless. As Alan Sil- litoe conveys in The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, a trackman runs in a dream. For a runner it is a treat a distancer runs a set course, milers are never as free as during their workouts. VARSITY SUCCER kneelingl. to r.

It beat some of the state's best teams yet lost to some of the state's worst. It began with the biggest squad in the school's history and ended the season with two substitutes for each game. It voted out one of its own captains yet held a meeting on team spirit conducted by the ex-captain. Many players returned from past seasons yet it had three basketball tranfers one started at fullback. It had a coach in his second season who sometimes pushed little more often coached as though it were his tenth, who cared about his players. Varsity Soccer had a contradictory season.

However, in '73 some 30 young students signed up for track. Mr. Par- nham and Mr. VanArsdale will head this program. All the participants were striving for victory but Mr. Parnharn felt that this year was the time for building a squad and not to stress winning. LACROSSE To develop a possible lacrosse stronghold in coming years, the Athletic Board, spearheaded by Mr. Sto- nebraker, decided to confer the sport on younger strengths. Equipment cost was a drawback which caused some debate over the new sport. However, these problems were resolved. The North American Indian played the original version of lacrosse and called it baggataway . The early explorers picked up the game from the Indians, and civilized it onto set specifications. 93 0 Isle Wight 14 16 Gloucester 6 0 Wmbg I.C. 34 VARSITY FOOTBALL IV FOOTBALL 8 Tidewater 0 Tldewater 8 lulam 8 Gloucester 0 1 6 New Kent 27 Broadwater 0 Poquoson 8 Flint H111 21 Kenston For VARSITY HOCKEY 9 Walsingham 0 5 Gloucester 0 1 Walsingham 1 4 Denbigh 1 6 Wm. 8: Mary 0 3 1st Colonial 2 2 Iames Blair 1 1 1st Colonial 2 3 Ferguson O Tournament 1 Cox 1 0 Prin.

W v l 4 it at li The Student Government Association, which everyone, including its president, insisted on calling the student council, did many of the traditional things a student council at any school does in 1971-1973,: it sponsored dances, decked the halls fwith boughs of hollyj at Christmas and sponsored a Thanksgiving food drive for the needy of the Peninsula. It also did many things that were not quite the ordinary: it undertook revision of the school's constitutiong it presented the same to a body of students who have always demonstrated a marked hatred for assemblies of any sortg and it publicized the school over WKLX radio in the turgid cockney of Rosa- lyn Edwards. While the achievements of the Council were signiiicant, it is the fervent hope of all concerned that the next council will improve over this year's record-for only in this way will a spirit of love continue to develop, as it should, in the student body. 100 I 'l HU OR COU CIL Y l 'hum tm H .W ,M it y , ll H 4 5 13' -.we A if A t l. to r.

It can be good. It can be bad. It will probably avail itself of the opportunity to be both. It pervades all areas of life at Hampton Roads Academy. Some say it sets teachers against students and students against teachers. Some say that honor , like war .or poverty or ignorance , is a term talked about rather than acted upon or listened to. The Honor Council, advised by Mr. Moorman tried to keep that from being true. 101 IV CHEERLEADERS -L. 4 ' -J ...ww -at This year's Iunior Varsity cheerleaders promoted spirit and pep throughout the school. Pam Hutchens lCaptain-above rightj and Nancy Creech fCo-Cap- tain-above leftj worked with the other members of the squad to create new cheers and paint colorful posters to promote the importance of each of the games. They acquired new basketball uniforms and participated in many pep rallies. Mrs. Grace, being the gr0up's advisor, was willing to help at any time and was fully appreciated by each of the cheerleaders. l. to r. first row ass Creech Inloes Hutchens: second row Davenport Mrs Grace, Lockwood top Tanner VARSITY CHEERLEADERS below riglit Cheering is hot stuff! This year, the Varsity Cheerleaders had a bigger and more spirited school fmost of the timej to cheer with, which made cheering an even greater pleasure than in years past. The spirit for Homecoming was ex- pressed by a wall decorating contest between the forms. Even the lower forms expressed their enthusi- asm with a Navigator Zoo and a 1976 sunburst of spirit and color. The Sophomores depicted the play- ers and the Seniors worked till the last minute putting up a dummy and explosive colors all over their wall. The Iuniors won, but the spirit of the school was really shown in all out competition. The pep rallies were boosted by the spirit jug , a mock football game, and horse and tricycle races. Cheerleaders tended to the teams by putting candy in their lockers or by giving them lemonade and cookies after some of the games. Next year they hope to tend to the soc- cer and cross country teams as well. The 1973 cheer- ing squad gives special thanks to Mrs. Nancy Grace for all her help and support.

A key clubber is one who is responsible and trus worthy and who cares for and wants to help others. He is proud and loyal and enjoys serving others in need, before serv- ing himself. This first year of the Key Club at Ham- pton Roads Academy has brought many new experi- ences. They have helped the community by working with Project Rot and by visiting at Patrick Henry Hospital. They did much for the school by cleaning the grounds each month, manning a booth on Founder's Day, raising the flag each morning, and by donating to the school, a new scoreboard. They also sold light bulbs, in which the Keyettes helped them, to raise money to pave the parking lot. The Key Club has meetings every other week, with guest speakers such as investors, insurance agents, and psychologists. They also work actively with their sponsor, the Kiwanis Club. 106 's . k, 1 H qtiqll-Q Axel . l LA ofa -CII, , rw ?-' , hr KEYETTES - . .I 1 M. .,,. i api' .ist 'Q g. .aff i 3 . ms V .4 :ln Y YF, , Q ,.

The idea is service and the organization is a club open to sophomore, junior, and senior girls. The club has three basic functions: service to the commu- nity, the school, and the Keyette members. On an in- ternational level, the Keyette motto is We serve. On a more local level, the HRA motto is We try. After many setbacks, the Keyettes are finally underway. It took a while for them to be oflicially recognized, yet during this time they got involved in many projects. The international project this year was the mass walkathon. The proceeds go to Project Concern, an organization for the founding of self care clinics. The community projects involved such work as collecting food for the SGA Thanksgiving Drive, making phone calls for Peninsula United Fund. 107 OUR EXCHANGE STUDENT Our exchange student Rosalyn lane Edwards Came to us through the good graces of the English-Speaking Union and became a twin sister to Nancy Pile. She shared a touch of madness that Nancy, having been at HRA for six years, very deiinitely has. Rosalyn brought a touch of English refinement to Virginiafl-Iampton Roads Academy lack of sophistication. She brought a great deal of good cheer a lively curiousity a style, carefree and a perspective on her class that we, her classmates, could never have. She was always in evidence, visible as a Union lack, as confident, as humourous, as wise, as sober, as the country to which she must return England, her home.

Both clubs have the traditional banquets at a member's home and experience French cooking. The club hopes to continue creating new experiences and is looking forward to Europe. The Iunior Classical League is a national organization composed of local clubs of high schools. Members maintain their club's program, participate in conventions and are eligible for scholarships. The League's purpose is to encourage -among youth interest in and appreciation of the civilization of ancient Greece and Rome, and to give some understanding of our own culture's debt to those classical societies. The HRA chapter was organized in 1971. ' Mrs. Hildegard Hatcher is also sponsor of the German Club. This year the club's title is Enzian. Enzian is the name for a German ilower that grows right below the glacier line. The club had its banquet at a member's house Where the traditional drinking songs are sung. This year the club plans to attend a German convention in March. SEXT We lookers and lovers have emptied some of our passion in a thing called the Sextant.

President Chip DeMatteo and Vice-President Richard Delaune, in cooperating with two Iames Blair students formerly of HRA, wrote, produced and directed the offbeat musical, which was based on actual experiences of the writers. The play drew a good turnout for two nights in a row and almost everyone had a good time.

C h arles Anderson In spring, the Drama Club planned to sponsor the third annual HRA Talent Show, featuring all the top talent from the Academy. At press time, it was too early to tell whether or not the show would actually be presented but with Drama Club returnees Clyde Long, Iohn Eubank, Virginia McCall, Marc Rothstein, and many others back next year, no doubt the HRA Drama Club will continue to be an active force for the Academy and its students. 1 16 - This mid-semester the question as to whether art would be offered at HRA was answered by the arrival of a new art teacher, Mrs. Iill Sisco. Straight from . , New Iersey, accent and all, she has provided her p classes with imaginative and interesting projects in which they can express their individual ideas. Mrs. Sisco furnished her students with an abundance of material falthough we did run a little short of picture framesj and introduced us to such crafts as batik, macrarne, weaving, sculptor and advanced sketching. For the iirst time, art was offered as a half credit h course to some juniors and seniors. This has made it possible for students to study in more depth and to discover their own potential.

It began the fourteenth year with 320 students, its largest student body ever, and with 27 instructors, - ikewise its largest number. At the beginning of the fourteenth year it had expanded its facilities by four classrooms, a laboratory, and a gymnasium, which was incomplete then and is still being built at the time of this writing. The fact that there even is a fourteenth year is a defiance of probability economic probality Qprobability in terms of dollars and cents.j Only one person, and he not a teacher, had been at HRA all fourteen years. Everyone was new. People came to school wary of all the strange faces. They came in cars or overcrowded buses to an overcrowded parking lot. Everything was overburdened. The Hampton Roads Academy began its fourteenth year as a different sort of school than the one remembered by some members of the graduating class. One alumnus from the Class of 1971 returned for the annual Alumni-Faculty basketball game- in which the faculty almost pulled off the upset of the year- commented that It's really starting to look like a high school. Perhaps, in one sense, he was right. HRA is beginning to be noticed on the Peninsula receiving recognition for academic and athletic achievement just as are Ferguson and Warwick, from which many of HRA's students have come. This essay, then is an attempt to capture one particular school as it tried not always successfully and never without pain to become newer different in its fourteenth year. 14th Year Classes wr 7 7 1 f . ' ', ' J 1- S. , H . , .g152.,1Lif' Q K PE tiff 1, , MAP P ROJECTION 120 Classes are what a school really is are what conversations about school usually ignore and classes are what students and teachers often try to forget and classes y are what yearbooks usually leave out. It is much easier to be mentioned in a yearbook if you can throw a football sixty yards, or score 20 points playing basketball or shut out the other team - 4 as a soccer goalkeeper, or run a mile in four minutes than if you can solve problems with your mind that have plagued men for years. In the Middle Ages, the same was true.. The greatest knight was not the most gentle or kind or learned man, but rather the man who could consistently push another man off his horse With a piece of stick. Yet We are said to have advanced from that time. Hampton Roads Academy, being a young school, does not have the great reservoir of people or resources that some schools have But look at what you can learn! You can learn a foreign language from people who have taught more than twenty years. You can learn pure science the only purity there is. You can learn algebra and geometry and calculus. You can learn about the relations of men before you through history. You can learn about the inner man through literature, through the lightness of poetry or the titanic shapelessness of King Lear. You can learn to use your hands to create art or make music. You can learn about your life about its wisdom and foolishness. . As Kahlil Gibran wrote call me not Wise unless you call all men wise, and call none among you foolish for in truth we are neither wise nor foolish. We are green leaves upon the tree of life and life itself is beyond wisdom and surely beyond foolishness. 14th Year 1 Athletics '11 ffasffgsi ' m . I .-zl'i'.t' Hi-nt., Athletics is neither a refuge for the strong and stupid nor the most important part of a school, but a part of learning. Athletics means victory sometimes. At Hampton Roads, as in previous years, Coach Lester Grace put together a winning season in Varsity Football and retired, leaving the school hopes for continued success. The Varsity Soccer team produced a winning season and several All-State players The Varsity Basketball team, plagued with injuries and hard luck, still turned in a respectable season fperhaps in response to a satiric write-up in the 1972 yearbookj And Iunior Varsity athletics which used to be mentioned with a smile or a snicker or a cough or were not mentioned at all, began, under new leadership, to Win as well. But athletics means defeat sometimes too and anger or tears in a locker room or a puzzled expression as if to say How could we lose to them? Athletes are not dumb jocks Athletes have other lives, have ideas, and even study sometimes. Honest. At any soccer game in the winter, for example, you could find four or live Honor Students starting on the Varsity squad not to mention a coach who graduated from Dartmouth College. Finally, and perhaps most important, - all students became involved in athletics. Attendence was high in football and basketball and a few even came to Watch soccer and hockey. Four girls managed H.R.A.'s soccer teams. Students decorated halls. And the cheerleaders did their usual good job of helping in more Ways than one. Athletics are a Way of becoming recognized in the community of learning about other people of learning to live together. 14th Year Seniors .. S When the handful of seniors who went all the way through entered H.R.A. in seventh grade Iohnson was still President the Vietnam War was being escalated and there were student strikes at Columbia. Now, six years later, campuses are quiet America's involvement in Vietnam is fhopefullyj ended and the class spent the night together watching Iohnson's successor landslide to re-election. - VVhat are they like? What can you say? You could say that the class was the last traditional one at the Academyg You CO11ld say that the class included some good athletes And some good minds You could say that the majority of the class supported Nixon like all the other classes in the school. QOf all organized bodies, only this yearbook's staff gave McGovern a majorityjl You could say that the class was interested in outside activities Whether trick-or-treating for UNICEF or working at Riverside Hospital or helping collect food at Thanksgiving or doing the things other men! children dog But all this would leave some things unsaid. Go back to October To a magic place called Arva the mention of which will get a grin from any senior. Arva Wasfis a cute contraction for Arlington, Virginia. Here 26 of 28 seniors were spending a Weekend. There were parties and plans made at 1 a.m. and a trip to the zoo and numerous street cornor mobbings-2 people waiting for a bus and weird scenes inside the gold mine like the President of the SGA sitting in front of his room in Rig Terrell's pants and no shirt because he cou1dn't find anything else at 8 o-clock in the morning. But the important thing was that at Arva, which, come to think of it, sounds a lot like Oz, we were together. Not a group of people all the same Or stamped out of a mold um- but a group Who knew each other through and through ' 'le and liked each other still F E' 6 ffl a group of people V f who loved each other in funny little ways, 4 Who together held forever 5 in their hands for a little While. Part of forever is better than none. . 2 4. 517 .'?::a 1' 125 14th Year Day N ow . W H' -Mya 1- Y., . ' X JYU.- W., gggef, , W , . m M, 1 , 1 ,. X i X , w fa ,WAWH . , vi r fi I i r - , , 1 .

I, lane Barnes, leave a close friendship due to long talks and Halloween night to Beth, a walk on the Interstate and various other occasions of insanity to Ca- wood, a very muddy field and appreciation for his advice to Cap, and to one unnamed everything hoped for. I, Cawood Brooks, because I am unable to find a beginning, hope there will never be an end . . . to the rainbows of memories . . . the tears and the laugh- ters, the exchanges of ideas, the giving and sharing of one another.
