Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1976 volume:

fienenbrance oj fJiirijs fast Many years had elapsed during which nothing of Combray, save what was comprised in the theatre and the drama of my going to bed there, had any existence for me, when one day in winter, as I came home, my mother, seeing that I was cold, offered me some tea, a thing I did not ordinarily take. I declined at firsthand then, for no particular reason, changed my mind. She sent out for one of those short, plump little cakes called ' petites madeleines, ' which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted scallop of a pilgrim ' s shell. And soon, mechanically, weary after a dull day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of the tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake. No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, but individual, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. And at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory— this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with a precious essence; or rather this essence was not in me, it was myself. I had ceased now to feel mediocre, accidental, mortal. Whence could it have come to me, this all-powerful joy? I was conscious that it was connected with the taste of tea and cake, but that it infinitely transcended those savours, could not, indeed, be of the same nature as theirs. Whence did it come? What did it signify? How could I seize upon and define it? And suddenly the memory returns. The taste was that of the little crumb of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray (because on those mornings I did not go out before church-time), when I went to say good day to her in her bedroom, my aunt Leonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of real or of lime-flower tea. The sight of the little madeleine had recalled nothing to my mind before I tasted it; perhaps because I had so often seen such things in the interval, without tasting them, on the trays in pastry-cooks ' windows, that their image had dissociated itself from those Combray days to take its place among others more recent; perhaps because of those memories, so long abandoned and put out of mind, nothing now survived, everything was scattered, the forms of things, indud g that of the little scallop-shell of pastry, so richly nsual under its severe, religious folds, were either obliterated or had been so long dormant as to have lost the power of expansion which would have allowed them to resume their place in my consciousness. But when from a long- distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, still, alone, more fragile, but with more vitality, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, ready to remind us, waiting and hoping for their moment, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unfa ltering, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.-Marcel Proust Mrs. Erwin Dr iirkpx — WrfflSm Ferguson, Jr. CarolC.

She has continually been a source of guidance by actively par- ticipating in our growth and devel- opment. She has shown great pa- tience and understanding in fulfilling her duties as teacher, ad- viser, and college counselor, and has taken a personal interest in each and every student. Through her involvement in various clubs and organizations, she has demon- strated her total dedication to the school, and in five short years she has become an invaluable member of our academic structure. For these reasons, the Class of 1976 extends its warmest thanks, appreciation, and love to Ann B. Fichter dedication 5 Virginia prepares for the bicentennial . . .

Led by co-cap- tains Wendy Drucker and Karen Wild, they never lost their spirit. Group AAA powerhouse, Lafayette High, was shocked when our girls played their hearts out, finishing with a tie. Against Walsingham, El- len Powell knocked home five goals in a 7-2 rout. Valuable defen- sive players were Betsy Field, full- back, and Dana Diesel, goalie. The hockey and football teams supported one another throughout the season. Varsity football cheered on the girls at their home games. The girls, in turn, filled the spectator buses, with windows down and spirit sky high. The younger girls, coached by Mrs. Scarborough, followed the ex- amples set by their big sisters. End- ing with a pair of wins, their eager- ness and improving ability strengthened their own JV squad, and the Varsity ' s too. 26 varsity hockey varsity hockey 27 J.V.

Everyone got plenty of playing time in both sin- gles and doubles competition. Coach Richwine scheduled as many exhibition matches as pos- sible. At the beginning of the sea- son, the seventh through the ninth grades had a ladder of their own to play, but due to the lack of court space this idea had to be aban- doned. With most of the players returning, the Academy can look forward to a bright future in Girl ' s Tennis. girl ' s tennis 29 For the first time in the history of the Academy, the Girl ' s Basketball team, otherwise known as Whit ' s Wild Women, represented our school at the Hampton Roads Coli- seum, defeating Eastern Academy. This year ' s team was young and ea- ger to learn. Led by seniors Marci Krause and Holly Ferguson, the girls kept their spirits high and gave the two top state teams, Poquoson and Norfolk Catholic, games they will never forget.

The defense, sparked by senior co-captain John Paine, was the heart of the team. Back Todd McCoy and linebacker Jonathan West were also valiant on defense. The offense rolled into high gear behind bruising backs Davis Wildman and Dwight West. Se- nior co-captain Butch Robertson and halfback Bob Garrett were other offensive stars. Some highlights of the season included senior Mark Short ' s timely quarterback sack to insure a first game victory; the spectator bus getting stuck in the mud at Poquoson and Albert coming to the rescue; and blocked punts by Gordon Martens, John Paine, and David Levin, which were in- strumental in three wins. The last touchdown of the 1975 season was also senior Herb Smith ' s first, capping the score in the blazing finale against Christchurch at newly named Lester C. Grace Field. varsity football 33 Excitement and enthusiasm for the Homecoming game built up during the preceding week. Stu- dents joined together in various ac- tivities each day to denounce Fred- erick Military Academy. The Navigators have rarely seen the student body more spirited and enthusiastic. The week kicked off with Mon- day as I hate red day! Only nerds wore the ill-fated colors of Fred- erick. The next day was Brown and Gold day when the students dressed in Navigator colors. Wednesday was Clash Day. Prizes were given to students wearing the most mismatched and mixed out- fits. The class officers competed form against form in relay races, which the Seniors won, on Thurs- day. The day before the game the class halls were judged. Each class was designated a hall to decorate any way they wanted in order to inspire school spirit. The Seniors won, but all of the halls were well done. The Homecoming Court was in- troduced during an assembly on Friday. The princesses were Karen Kane (Form I), Julie Powell (Form II), Bonnie Fass (Form III), Pam Suttle (Form IV), Susan Bartlett (Form V), Holly Ferguson (Form VI), and Donna Fluharty (Form VI). Ann Cary Nelms was crowned Homecoming Queen during half- time at the game Saturday. Friday night the bonfire was lit at the school and while students and cheerleaders screamed in spirit, the real Mr. Spirit was revealed— our own caped crusader, Mr. Ellis. Saturday afternoon the Naviga- tors trounced Frederick Military 14 to 12. The Homecoming dance on Saturday night was a grande finale to the whole week, which was a fantastic success. 34 homecoming homecoming 35 This year, in spite of the lack of older and more experienced players. Coach Niedbala pro- moted spirit among his young and eager newcomers, despite numerous adversities. In the game against Tidewater, behind by forty points, HRA scored on a long run by Jeff Patey. The team and fans exploded, prov- ing that one great play can make a season worthwhile. J.V.

They helped cheer at the championship game of the Penin- sula Catholic Christmas Tourna- ment and were truly an active part of the school spirit at H.R.A. JV cheerleaders 37 Three banners hang high from the rafters in the HRA gym. They serve as a constant reminder of the glories of the 1974 basketball sea- son. Gone are the coach and three starters who helped make the ban- ners a reality, but new Coach Mike Pratt carried on the successful tra- dition with the help of both new and old faces. Veterans Chip Seward and Bill Shelley each shattered the 1000 point barrier this season. The ex- plosive duo, along with returning Bert Bateman, John Paine, and Butch Robertson, once again cranked up the fast break so remi- niscent of last year ' s thundering ' Gators. Talent was not limited to the se- nior line-up. Commander Chip Christian, Deck Hankins, and other younger members of the team demonstrated skill throughout the season. Upsetting Gill School with a 78- 76 victory, the 1976 Basketball team entered the Commonwealth Conference Tournament with confidence. 38 varsity basketball Record 13-9 HRA VS.

Not one to be easily beaten, they narrowly missed de- feating Peninsula Catholic in the fi- nals with a score of 56-61. Refusing to give up, the Naviga- tors continued to the Peninsula Catholic Invitational Tournament to defeat Eastern Academy in the first round by a score of 62-47. On the next night, during the semi- finals, Hampton Roads achieved a bit of revenge by defeating Penin- sula Catholic in their own tourna- ment by a whopping score of 64- 45. In the finals of the tournament, HRA continued their string of wins with a final defeat of 63-60 over Bishop Gibbons during overtime. Bill Shelley displayed exceptional athletic prowess in the games which won for him the “All-Tour- nament Team award in both tour- naments. Chip Seward ' s 28 points in the final game enabled him to receive the “Most Valuable Player award. 40 basketball Record 6-11 HRA vs. Christchurch 32-33 HRA vs. Ports.

Basketball team had a pro- ductive season. They spent many practices working on the funda- mentals since this was the first year many of them had played orga- nized basketball. Eric Head, who returned from a pre-season injury, joined Bryan Bostic, Jonathan West, and Ford Stephens to form a strong nucleus. After defeating Ti- dewater Academy ' s strong team, the boys assumed more self-con- fidence. They gained experience because Coach Henderson al- lowed everyone to play frequently. Often surprising themselves with excellent performances, the J.V. Basketball team improved through eagerness and determination. j.v. basketball 41 42 varsity cheerleaders varsity cheerleaders 43 VARSITY SOCCER Four years ago, when Coach Stonebraker had the likes of all time greats booting for his HRA soccer team, he never realized his greatest team was going to come out of a group of eighth graders, several of whom were in his gym class. This year it finally happened. After all that waiting, the experi- ence paid off. With a 9-1-3 record, HRA challenged perennial soccer king Kecoughtan for the league crown. Junior Lee McClaine turned in 10 saves and was favored as one of the best goalies in the state. Other players with All-Star performances were Davis Wildman and Robert Locher. With Bob Garrett, Tony Hux, and Mark Short, the HRA soc- cer team has never had more dedication. 44 varsity soccer Record 10-3-5 Itjjr ' t ' ' . . • .. -•- HRA vs. Christchurch 2-2 HRA vs. Middlesex 7-1 HRA vs. Kecoughtan 0-3 HRA vs. Varina 0-0 HRA vs. Middlesex 2-1 HRA vs. Tidewater 2-0 HRA vs. Trinity 1-0 HRA vs. Christchurch 2-0 HRA vs. Gill 1-0 HRA vs. John Marshall 3-0 HRA vs. Maggie Walker 1-0 HRA vs. West Point 4-0 HRA vs. Benedictine 0-0 HRA vs. Norfolk 1-1 HRA vs. West Point 3-0 HRA vs. Maggie Walker 1-0 HRA vs. Kecoughtan 1-4 HRA vs. Fork Union 4-1 V .

Fortunately, three freshmen, Hagen Saville, joe Terrell, and Chris Wild- man, were able to make gallant comebacks after brief absences. The J.V. ' s ran, kicked, and headed their way to a winning season. With this group of promising young boys, HRA can look forward to some exciting soccer games in the future. n yH4-v-f Record 11-0 HRA vs. Suffolk 6-3 HRA vs. F.M.A. 9-0 HRA vs. Poquoson 9-0 HRA vs. Christchurch 9-0 HRA vs. Norf.

The arrival of Stinger Craig Bee- croft, who received the Most Valuable Player award, added great strength to the team. Re- turning veterans this year were Craig Beecroft, Jon Nachman, Ed- die Scher, Ben Moore, David Car- penter, and co-captains, Paul Daus and Butch Robertson. Last year ' s Boy ' s Tennis team was the best balanced team the Academy has ever seen, said Coach, Col. Short. They had the distinction of being the first and only HRA varsity team in any sport to go undefeated. HRA was also leading in unrecorded matches against Norfolk Acad- emy and Walsingham when rain ended them. boy ' s tennis 47 The 1975 Varsity Baseball team has a record which future teams of Hampton Roads Academy will hopefully be able to surpass. Basebaii was picking up fans rap- idly during the second season at the Academy. They were the first H.R.A. baseball team to play and win on their newly made field. Playing a double-header, the Na- vigators took the first game from visiting Portsmouth Catholic and fell in a loss in the second. Bill Shelley was the winning pitcher in the only home victory. The team compiled a 3 win and 8 loss season, playing much bet- ter than their record indicated. They finished their season on a winning note by sweeping both games of a double-header from Christchurch. The team was led by Bill Shelley, Most Valuable Player, and Chip Christian who had an outstanding batting average of .375, the highest on the team. Backing the team also were Ju- niors Mitch Mitchell and David Murray, Sophomores Davis Wild- man, Todd McCoy, Sam Wilson and Lee McClaine, and c res h rnan Gary Moliken. With a team as small and inexperienced as this, much improvement was made from the first day of practice to the last game of the season. Also, with the dedicated coaching of Coaches Underwood, Pierce and Marcus the team is looking for- ward to promising seasons in the future with the return of all players. 48 baseball Although it is not widely publi- cized, Hampton Roads Academy does have a golf team, and not only that, they ' re good. Last year they won nine out of ten games. This year the whole team returned including two-year veterans, Chip Seward, Hank Diesel, Tony Hux and Brian Beecroft. Returning also were Deck Hankins, Reed Atkins and Peter Paine. golf 49 50 gym Gym still provides a small but much appreciated respite from the daily academic routine. Led by Coach Richwine and Coach Hen- derson, the seventh through tenth grade girls and boys enjoyed a wide variety of physical sports, such as volleyball, ping-pong, ten- nis, weight lifting, hockey, basket- ball, etc. Gym attire for the girls ranges from cut-offs to formal gym suits while the boys are consistent in wearing their boxer shorts. Many ninth and tenth graders spent their first semester of gym busily learning the art of driving in the famous Drivers Ed course. Sec- ond semester finds many of these same people driving proudly through the parking lot. gym 51 52 faculty lHA faculty 53 54 faculty faculty 55 Connie Bostic Math Robert Cox Headmaster, English Marjorie Browning Science David Dick Science Wilson Ellis Social Sciences Caye Deal English, French Eleanor Day Librarian, Economics 56 faculty Jill Heagy Science, Math Hildegard Hatcher French Richard Heldenfels English Patricia Harris Secretary John Marr Director of Studies, English Thomas Henderson P.E., Driver ' s Ed.

' .e is an cigdiiization serving the students at H.R.A. It consists of the presidents and rep- resentatives of each form as well as the council members elected by the school as a whole. What results is a membership consisting of most of the student leaders of our school. Its members are constantly involved in the issues and activities that make the Academy unique. This year the S.G.A. worked hard for an enjoyable Homecoming weekend. Todd Howerton, S.G.A. Vice-President, and David Barrs, Senior Class President, revised the method of choosing the Queen which involved more students and created more suspense. The dance was very successful; everyone profited except the S.G.A. treasury. Mitch Mitchell, President of the S.G.A., planned a new ticket booth which offered a known place for ticket sales or sign-ups. The booth was beneficial to clubs, the Drama Department, and the students. The Mr. Polyson and Col. Short for their S.G.A. members thank Ms. Sisco, advice and help. 62 clubs The Honor Council and the Disciplinary Committee to- gether served to make trust and cooperation integral parts of daily life at Hampton Roads. Honor Council representatives from the ninth through twelfth grades and President, Lisa John- son, worked to involve more students in the Honor System. The Council consisted of Todd Howerton, Eddie Scher, Rone Baldwin, Davis Wildman, David Johnson, Mike Carpenter, Chris Wildman and their two faculty advisers. Miss Browning and Mr. Moorman. The Disciplinary Committee ' s main function is to recommend to the Headmaster what disciplinary action should be taken in specific cases. Serv- ing on the Committee were Da- vid Barrs, Mitch Mitchell, Kathy Wason, Mrs. Epes, Mrs. Day, and Mr. Moorman. clubs 63 Every odd Tuesday of the month, the Keyettes could be found planning their monthly activ- ities. The president, Wendy Dru- cker, munching away on her apple, led the meetings with enthusiasm. The major project for Keyettes this year was the Group Foster Home, which is a house for seven girls who cannot live in their own homes. The Keyettes began by re- decorating one room and refinish- ing an old piano. Their advisors, Mrs. Shubert and Mrs. Booth pro- vided much needed assistance in supervising the sanding, plastering and painting. After the girls moved into the house, the Keyettes gave them a party, took them to the movies, and became their out of school friends. The Keyettes were involved in many other activities. They sold doughnuts and baked goods to maintain their payments on a child they sponsored through Save the Children Federation. They worked at the Red Cross Bloodmobile on Christmas Eve Day, organized a picnic for the incoming students at the Academy, gave a party for the children at the Virginia State School for the Blind and Deaf, ushered at Parent ' s Night and graduation, and collected canned goods for a needy family. It was for programs such as these that the Keyettes last year won the Outstanding Keyette Club Award, One to Five Years Old, 1975. 64 clubs This year ' s Key Club was riddled with internal problems from the start. Before the school year began, H.R.A. ' s Key Club lost its president along with the invaluable time and effort that he had exerted in order to organize the 1976 year. Despite this, Key Club members fulfilled their obligations. Starting with a party in apprecia- tion of the Keyettes in July, the Key Club next took care of many odd jobs on campus. They also worked much closer with the community through their Kiwanis Club spon- sors. Rather than be hindered by their problems, they worked as best they could and their efforts did not go totally unnoticed. This year ' s officers were Butch Robertson, President; Tony Hux, Vice-President; John Paine, Trea- surer; and John Murray, Secretary. Col. Dick, as club adviser, sup- ported the boys and his time was greatly appreciated. clubs 65 kfjr j m f ▼ Despite the lack of male partici- pation, the French Club maintained its reputation for good food and fantastic banquets. For the first time ever, they sold authentic French cuisine. Once a week dur- ing SHAP, the entire school raced to the old gym to get their tummies treated to indescribably delicious French pastries featuring the ever popular Napoleon and Eclair. Even their banquets changed this year. They planned one with the Spanish Club where each member brought a dish to be shared with the others. This brought the two clubs closer together. Though it seems that all they did was eat, they used their profits to take a trip to the French Embassy in the Spring. Under the guidance of Madame Hatcher and Shannon Yevak, it was destined to be a good year. 66 clubs With the financing of cultural trips as their goal, the Spanish Club set to work selling pizzas and hold- ing raffles. Under the leadership of President, Doug Pinotti, the turnout was good for all their money rais- ing activities. Pizza was sold weekly and the raffle for concert tickets was held in the Fall. They also went to the Norfolk Dinner Theater. The Washington trip in- cluded visits to the Pan American Building and Spanish-speaking embassies. clubs 67 1 2 3 100 4 5 10 6 7 200 8 9 300 10 11 12 OFFICERS $JOB COMPUTER SCIENCE CLUB 1975-1976 REAL OFFICERS (5), LECTRS (5), TRIPS (5), PROJ (5) WRITE (6,100) FORMAT (T, 5X, ' OFFICERS ' , 5X, ' LECTURES ' , 5X, ' FIELD TRIPS ' , 5X, ' PROJECTS ' ) 1 = 0 1 = +1 READ (5,200 OFFICERS (I), LECTRS (I), TRIPS (I), PROJ (I) FORMAT (5A4, 5A4, 5A4, 5A4) WRITE (6,300) OFFICERS (I), LECTRS (I), TRIPS (I), PROJ (I) FORMAT ( ' - ' , 4A4, 1 X, 4A4, 1 X, 4A4, 1 X, 4A4) IF (I.LT.5) GO TO 10 RETURN END SENTRY LECTURES FIELD TRIPS PROJECTS PRES RONE BALDWIN V.P.

Because in- dividual players were involved in many other activities including soc- cer and swimming, they found that chess often conflicted with other interests. As a result, many matches were played with only four people, giving away a one game advantage per match. These young players, interested in improving their games, practiced most days during lunch in Mr. Heldenfel ' s room. With such an enthusiastic crew, there will be many more years of good chess at the Academy. The International Thespian So- ciety was organized to promote the theater arts in secondary schools. With this aim in mind, Mrs. Rabinowitz founded and sponsored Troupe 2374 of the So- ciety at Hampton Roads. This idea was well received as the member- ship climbed from thirteen to sixty- two students in just one year. The Thespians were responsible for producing all the plays at the Academy and they took field trips to the Kennedy Center in Washing- ton and Norfolk Scope to see plays put on by professionals. They sponsored a Mardi Gras masquer- ade ball in the spring. “Even though it ' s hard work, says President, Luanne Ives, “we love it! 70 clubs Students selected for National Merit and the Cum Laude Society receive the highest honors awarded to high school students. Chosen by inducted members of the faculty, the Cum Laude Society has recognized Rone Baldwin, Wendy Fass, Kathy Kemp, and Lisa Dawson for scholastic excellence, leadership, potential, and mean- ingful contributions to their class and school.

For instance, where else could ten people fit in the stomach of Pam Hutchens? The Drama Department this year introduced Pantomime! After weeks of exercises, the mime troupe created illusions to express themselves without words. The troupe discovered that Mime wasn ' t as easy as it looked, but they enjoyed the opportunity to participate in this unique experience. 76 mime mime 77 The art program consisted of two graded courses, Studio Art and Art History. A workshop was of- fered for students who wanted to spend their study hall in the art room. In the Studio Art course the students were assigned a project for each marking period and when that was completed they could work in whatever medium they chose. Both classes took several field trips to the Virginia Museum in Richmond. 78 art Batik: A design is drawn on a piece of cloth and melted wax is applied with a brush to areas which are not to be dyed. The wax is re- moved from the cloth by ironing it between two layers of paper. By repeating this process, additional colors can be dyed onto the cloth. Pariscraft Sculpture: A model is made from wire and newspaper, using the wire for a basic outline and support, and the newspaper for bulk and shape. Strips of paris- craft (plaster of paris and gauze) are wet and wrapped around the model. After it dries and hardens, the model can be painted. Silkscreen: A porous screen is stretched over a frame and the de- sign is made by attching non- porous materials to the screen, such as leaves or wax paper cut- outs. The screen is placed over a sheet of paper and ink is pressed once or twice over the screen with a rubber squeegie ; the ink will print wherever it can go through the screen. Several colors can be printed if a different screen is made for each color. Drawing and Painting: Black and white drawings can be made using grease pencil or charcoal. Colored drawings are done with colored pencils or pastels. Watercolors are painted on a special watercolor pa- per which will not buckle or wrinkle. Acrylic paints can be used alone or with water and are painted on canvas which the stu- dents stretch over frames. Linoleum Block Prints: A design is drawn onto a block of linoleum and the areas which are not to be printed are cut away so that the design area is raised. Ink is rolled over the raised area and the block is pressed onto the paper to be printed. art 79 ASSEMBLIES With the organization of the Special Pro- grams and Planning Committee and the Se- nior Class Lecture Series, assemblies took on a new dimension this year. Ms. Sisco showed slides of her summer in belgium and Holland, and Mr. Marr spoke on the West Virginia textbook crisis. Dr. Cox met with the student body for “talks and the presentation of Honor Roll certificates. There were also talks by Todd Howerton, Wendy Drucker, David Barrs, Mary Mooza, David Segaloff, David Johnson, Betsy Field, and Virginia Clasheen on interesting sum- mer experiences. In November, Com- mander Christian, a former P.O.W., ad- dressed the student body and was backed by the Tactical Air Command Band. Decem- ber brought Mr. David Packman, Rabbi at Temple Sinai, who spoke on the subject of Christian and Jewish Holidays. Juniors and Seniors welcomed the Republican candi- date for the Virginia House of Delegates, John Warley, and local representative Ted Morrison, who explained their views and answered questions. Murrat Williams, former foreign service officer and former candidate for the Senate, presented the lib- eral position on State and national politics. He also discussed current issues and prob- lems with senior government classes. John Warren Cooke also came to speak on the is- sues before the 1976 State Assembly. A day was set aside when Dr. Douglas Heath, author of Humanizing Our Schools, came to lead the conference, “Blueprint for the H.R.A. Community. Near the end of March, Mr. F.M. Rogallo brought films of his invention, the Rogallo wing. The Virginia Chapter of Young Audiences, Inc., spon- sered the appearance of the Virginia Beach Dance Ensemble and the Norfolk Brass Quintet. Altogether, this year ' s emphasis on broad- ening the students ' areas of interest was an overwhelming success. 80 assemblies i fcJ “T T1 assemblies 81 82 assemblies ACTIVITIES Despite the constant downpour, the juniors and seniors congrega- ted at the historic Chamberlain Ho- tel in Hampton on June 12, 1975 for the junior-senior prom, making it the end of another fantastic year. The romantic atmosphere of the grand old hotel and the sweet sounds of Sandcastle were en- joyed by everyone including the chaperons. Every year pep rallies are a little different. Aside from the basic spirit raising cheers and the ever popular spirit jug (usually won by the freshmen) the varsity cheer- leaders, aided by the J.V. squad, planned a variety of activities in- cluding races for the class officers and a take-off on our opponent cheerleaders. The most popular had to be the dating game-won by bachelor 3— Julie Saunders playing an intellectual from the op- posing team. Another weekend activity was back this year— the school sup- ported dances were as popular as ever. This year, along with the old regulars, there were plans for a Sadie Hawkins, a Sok-Hop spon- sered by the Keyettes, and a dance after a basketball game. The Fresh- men were the fortunate class in that they were able to attend both the lower and upper school dances. When walking toward the new gym, one often heard the groan of another long play rehearsal. The hard working actors as well as the crew were certainly pleased with the results. The Academy Players worked diligently to make their production of Miracle Worker a success. activities 83 84 activities The art exhibits in the library foyer have become an integral part of the school atmosphere, so much so that the Spring term brought the renovation of the foyer into the Woodroof Hiden Hussey Gallery. Plans were underway for a totally art oriented room with bright cheerful furniture facing the exhib- its which alternated between stu- dent projects and those brought by the Virginia Museum. A student show was planned for Founders Day where the best artists could show off their talents and be judged by an outside artist. Along with the Art Show, the Powderpuff football game be- tween the junior and senior girls took place on Spring Festival Day. The Drama department presented the play Golliwoppers. It was a to- tally enjoyable day even if we did have to “come to school on a Saturday. The Juniors took on a brand new money making venture this year entitled “Noodle Night . The night of the last home basketball game tickets were redeemed in the old gym for spagetti dinners complete with all the Italian trimmings. Entire families came out to eat and to support the game. activities 85 86 activities activities 87 Debra Aaron Mark Adams Erin Barron Kenneth Bostic Mark Bruni Andy Buck Larry Butler Terry Champine John Coates Bobby Cooper Marshall Cross Cathy Davis Robin Dawson Andra Diamondstein Mark DiBattista Anne Dowding Jodi Feldman Lee Ann Fichter 88 seventh grade President: Anne Dowding V.

Presiding over their respective fields of interest, they found themselves busier than ever. As a class, they worked together in organizing and accomplishing various projects. They founded and fi- nanced the Senior Lecture Series in order to arouse student inter- est concerning current issues and problems. They painted the senior parking spaces, went pic- nicing in the fall and spring, and planned to challenge the Juniors to a powderpuff football game. On February 14, they relived their elementary school days by exchanging valentines in an old- fashioned valentine box. Without a lounge, the Seniors were virtually homeless. Before Thanksgiving, they had con- verted Mrs. Nichol ' s office into a comfortable and relaxing room to use during their free time. With the availability of hot chocolate during the winter months, more and more Seniors spent time in their senior lounge”. By creating a lounge where none existed, this year ' s seniors proved that in spite of obstacles, a way can be found for seniors to find their own little niche within the school.

We would like to recognize those members who have consistently contributed their time: Sara Butler, Tammy Feldman, David Murray, Ann Shumate, Andre L. Denis, Don Ward, Angela Barron, Ann Cary Nelms, Holly Fer- guson, Mindy Williams, and Linda Luke. We were fortunate to have, particularly in times of financial crises, JoAnn Barron, an out- standing Business Manager. We would like to extend special thanks to Mr. Byrd Saville for mak- ing the aerial view of our school possible. 132 yearbook yearbook 133 The staff of THE LOG 1976 would like to thank the patrons for their interest and support.

It is a labour in vain to attempt to recapture it: all the efforts of our intellect must prove futile. The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object (in the sensation which that material object will give us) which we do not suspect. And as for that object, it depends on chance whether we come upon it or not before we ourselves must die.
