Franklin Spoor, English Pat Smith, Librarian Assistant At the end of last year, HRA abolished the constitution and created an entirely new student gov- ernment and a new, workable con- stitution. This year, the new gov- ernment reorganized the traditional president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and set up a system of committees, in order to involve more members of the student body. Barbara Gross started the year as chairperson of the Communication Committee; however, Mindy Wil- liams took her place and, in Barba- ra ' s absence, has done an excellent job. The Social Events Committee, also headed by Mindy, was respon- sible for the success of the 1976 Homecoming. Led by Molly Stephens, the Service Committee sponsored the food drive at Thanksgiving, the Toys for Tots, an the Christmas Tree in December. Other committees are the Finance Committee, with John Erickson in charge, and the Honor Council with Davis Wildman as president. The en- tire SGA sponsored a one person art show in April, featuring the art works of Ms. Jill Sisco. The new Student Government has proven not only to be effective, but also a workable solution for the en- richment of student organizations. Student Gov’t Assoc. The Honor Council worked very hard this year promoting and maintaining the honor code at the Academy. Guided by Mrs. Day, and led by President Davis Wildman, they tried to keep students informed of the Honor Council actions. Each class had at least one representative. The members are: Kathy Wason, Molly Stephens, John Murray, Owen Murray, (Secre- tary), Kelly Massey, Stan Yates and Erin Barron. The Disciplinary Committee proved to be fair in their rec- ommendations to Dr. Cox. The members are: Betsy Field, Mindy Williams, Miss Richwine, Mr. Rutter and Col. Short. 77 KEYETTES The Keyettes serve the community as well as the school and have fun at the same time. This year they succeeded admirably. The girls, 10-12 grades, under- took many big projects and accomplished everything initiated. Visiting the nursing home at least once a month was the major community project. The Secret Pal program was successful in that it both encouraged Varsity athletes and promoted school spirit. In order to facilitate the orientation of new girls, the Keyettes began the Little Sister, Big Sister program. The Keyettes also held the first District Keyette Rally for all Keyettes in the Hampton Roads, Williamsburg area. Held in the new gym, HR A Keyettes performed a hilarious skit for others as entertainment, Miss Keyette 1976. Hedley Sipe, Kathy Wason, Lisa Smith, Susan Hornsby, Barbara Stout, Shannon Yevak, Lisa L. Smith, Lisa Jones, Martha Powell played leading roles. Homemade refreshments were appreciated and com- plimented on. Under the leadership of President Shannon Yevak, the Keyettes were organized and upheld their reputa- tion in HRA. |u (HI : fl f a Iv. KEY CLUB Early in the year, the Key Club searched for a way to earn money and be a service at the same time. They managed to do both by working in conjunction with the Keyettes parking cars at a large building ' s opening. Later, The Key Club aided the Junior Varsity and Var- sity Basketball teams by selling tickets at the Com- monwealth Conference Tournament. As the year drew to a close, the boys, led by president John Murray, vice pres. Don Ward, and secretary Deck Hankins, planned to sponsor a blood drive in the gym with the SGA. All in all, the Key Club had a busy and fulfilling year. The French Club, has progressed in new directions this year. Led by president Leath Burdeshaw, vice- president Paula Allen, secretary-treasurer Martha Powell and a new advisor, Madame Conway, more goals have been met and participation increased. Friday March 11 was designated as a day for recogni- tion for the French throughout the school. French music was played while club members sat dressed as Frenchmen, feasting on pastries. The finale of these two days was a banquet of French and Spanish foods prepared by the students. Also for the first time we visited the language arts festival at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond on April 22. This was a busy day full of many funfilled activities. As a spring project the French Club went to Washington, D.C. for a cultural visit. The day began early as they all boarded the bus for the French Em- bassy. After the visit to the Embassy, they moved on to the National Gallery. They then concluded with dinner at La Maison des Crepes. The main source of income for all of these activities has been the sale of their delicious french pastries. In addition to eating their own pastries, they went to The Maison Francaise at William and Mary where they ate French food while talking in French to the College stu- dents and professors. The 1976-1977 Spanish Club, headed by Pres. Dwight West, filled the year with many activities. The club sponsor, Mrs. Eaton, aided them in a Span- ish Day on Thursday, March 10. Friday, the French Club developed a French Day. This was followed by a French and Spanish Club banquet. All club mem- bers joined in the festivities by gaily decorating the halls, and dressing the part of Senors and Senoritas, and selling chile con came during lunch. The ban- quet was a great success, with each member bring- ing a Spanish dish. At the end of the year, the re- maining money in the treasury was spent on Andrea ' s pizza for the club members. 81 MATH CLUB At the beginning of 1976, the math club embarked upon the job of raising money for a computer for $2,702. The members, eleven juniors, sold doughnuts at the shipyard. This venture brought only $200 to the empty treasury. Then the club decided to hold a garage sale at the Spring Festival. Most of the items were sold, and, at the end of the day, the Math Club was $1,800 richer. This money, in addition to an anonymous donation of $1,000 enabled the Club to purchase an I.M.S.A.I. 8080 micro-computer and a Digital Equipment Corporation DECwriter. At the beginning of the school year, the club organized a formal dance for the faculty and parents. From this, the club gained $2,000. And at the close of the year, Hampton Roads Academy had a computer system worth over $5,000. This task was accomplished only by hard work, diligence and good planning by the members with the assistance of Mrs. Kitty Booth, the Club Sponsor, Mr. Hugh Hilliard, and Mr. Patrick Rourke. EXPLORERS The Explorer Club opened up several off-campus opportunities to the participants. It strives to teach appreciation of our natural re- sources by developing individual outdoor skills. Under the lead- ership of Deck Hankins, Virginia Glasheen, Hedley Sipe, Muffin Fitz-Patrick, and Dana Diesel, the club organized an excursion to Massanutten for a ski trip. Al- though many of the Explorers had never skiied, they learned quickly and all agreed that the trip was a success. Canoe trips and over- night, back-packing trips were on the agenda for the spring, round- ing out the exploration of the Vir- ginia terrain. ag� . r . , — i , T | , .I, | . - f - ..... . ' . , ! CHESS CLUB Upper School students had their third straight winning season in the P.H.S. Chess League. The team came up short against Kecoughtan and Gloucester, but beat Be- thel in a three hour session. Middle School students managed a 2-4 season in the HJHS League. The competi- tion was much more intense than the record indicates, as two matches were lost by a single point. presenting: DRAMA Since it was established several years ago. Troupe 2374 of the International Thespian Society has grown considerably at HRA. As it grows under the direction of Mrs. Blanche Rabinowitz, the Troupe ' s productions always improve. Not- ing their previous success, anything else should be anti- climatic. But such is not the case. The year ' s first production, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds showed the incomparable dramatic acting abilities of Susanne Dawson, Shannon Yevak, Darlene Willett, Martha Powell, and Debbie Aaron. The performance was a truly moving experience. The next production was Meredith Willson ' s Music Man. It had a very large cast and was sold out every night in advance, making HRA history. It would be impossible to describe the phenomenal job done by cast and crew. Mrs. Susan Rutter put in many long, hard hours working on the scenery, and the result was beautiful. Don Ward did an out- standing job as the cunning Prof. Harold Hill. The pompous Mayor and his gushing wife were played exceptionally well by John Erickson and Shannon Yevak. Seventh grader. Cam Hines, displayed his fine acting abili ty through the part of the lisping, Winthrop Paroo, as his spinster sister, Marion, Janis Berryman, delighted everyone with her sensational voice and acting ability. Music Man was probably the biggest hit ever. The last performance of the year is The Bald Soprano, HRA ' s entry in the Commonwealth Conference one act play competition. After winning 1st place in 1976 at Gill School, Hampton Roads will serve as host for the performances. The drama department holds high hopes for another 1st place finish. 85 It is usually a shock to open the door to the art room because you never know what may be lurking behind it. It could be a human model standing on a desk, a huge blank canvas, or a clothersline weaving in and out of desks and easels (for drying batiks, of course!). However, there are two sure things to be found: mess and noise! At first glance, it seems quite chaotic, but as you move around slowly you find that each student has a definite plan and purpose for working there. Seventh through twelfth grades com- plete required studio projects; art his- tory students study slides and repro- ductions and everyone discusses an up- coming field trip. Two trips were made by the art history class to the Chrysler Museum and the King Tut exhibit at the National Gallery. All of this activity makes it easy to see why the art de- partment is an exciting and stimulating place to be working. r o 0 0 . 0 o o o 0 o o v® off! 92 93 WINTER Brings snow And a new Schedule 94 95 Seeing the need for spirit, support and more school activities, Mr. Alan Williams decided that something had to be done. That something was the first Annual HRA Leadership Clinic held on January 15. At 9:00 that morning, the 97 students were divided into four groups: the Aztecs, the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans. Instructions were given to the groups in the areas of publicity, organization of projects, group dynamics and almost all other aspects of student government. There were many forms of competition including the creation of group cheers, Olympic games, and finally, group presentations of a mock assembly. Everyone found it very informative and interesting but most im- portantly, everyone had a fantastic time.

Some of the high- lights were the opening day win over Broadwater, the Homecoming vic- tory over Trinity and the annihila- tion of Cristchurch. Of all the games, however, the Tidewater game was the most exciting. It was during this game that the team scored fourteen points in the last thirty seconds to win. All the departing Seniors; Andy Fass, David Mumford, Eric Smith, Dwight West, Lee McClaine, and captains Davis Wildman, Todd Mac- Coy and Hank Diesel will be missed next year. But the returining stars, Jonathan West, David Levin, Lem Doss, and Chip Christain led by Team Award winner John Murray, will have help from the rising Junior Varsity team, winners at last. The team is looking forward to a great year with Mr. Henderson as Head Coach, but will miss the inspiration of Mr. Marr. 102 ■ % . in . s y¥?o 103 I H S :: Mj S Due to the hard work of Mindy Williams, Homecoming was a great success. Some of the exciting events which involved the entire school were: Twin Day, Hall Decorating Day, and the Powder Puff Football game, in which the Junior girls triumphed over the Seniors. The week ended with a pep rally which was said to be the best ever, and a bonfire, in spite of rain. Even though “Mr. Spirit” was a new- comer to the school, she promoted lots of en- thusiasm. She was our own Mrs. Falk. The Navigators proved they were indestruc- tible by defeating the Trinity Titans 14-3. That night at the dance, “Joshua” kept everybody “hustling.” Ellen Powell was elected Queen by the student body. The court was: Carole How- ard, Anne Powell, Kelly Massey, Susan Palmer, Billie Bangel, Susan Bartlett and Jill Harvey. 105 LES GRACE DAY Saturday, September 11, 1976, was an important and memorable day at Hampton Roads Academy. Alumni, parents, faculty, students and friends gathered to witness the dedication of the athletic field as the Lester C. Grace Memorial Field. This day was designated as Les Grace Day in honor of Coach Grace, who was football mentor and faculty member from 1959-1975. The Booster Club was very active in planning the events of the day. The large crowd enjoyed the Booster Club ' s an- nual covered dish luncheon before the 2:00 Navigator-Broadwater Academy game. The dedica- tion ceremonies honoring Coach Grace were held at half-time, with Billie Millner, President of H.R.A. Board of Trustees presiding. Mr. Millner was aided by members of the Booster Club, with members of the Grace family attending as honored guests. ii til 106 - v- . | -, S.v 1 ' r - v_-, ' - ■ ? - S „ , ’ 4 ' £Vr: - v � ■■-■ ,, - r ,- - Front row: Lou Morris, Joe Gross, Mark Adams, Mike Magmas, Si tt Vaugn, David Legg, Dan Miilner,Tom Tflrrell, Briair Farrar, Carl Thompson.

BASKETBALL , HRA ' s Varsity Basketball team posted a 17-10 record in spite of a height and experience hand- icap and turned what many predicted as a lucky break even season into a winner. Captain Bill Shelly burned the nets at a 29+ point average per game and was the top point producer in the state for private schools. He established himself as the all-time scoring leader for HRA with 1,988 points. Senior Deck Hankins and juniors Chip Christ- ian, Lem Doss, and Gary Moliken completed the starting five with excellent reserve strength fur- nished by Jon Nachman, David Mumford, D.R. Johnson and Jonathan West. Doss, Hankins, and Moliken were cited for their excellent defensive play with Hankins drawing 50+ charging fouls for the season. Junior Varsity Basketball at HRA has definitely arrived with a record season of 22-0 for the feisty Navigators. Supported by a strong cast of soph- omores Bryan Bostic, Jeff Rogatz, Eric Head, Ford Stephens and freshman Captain Chip Har- ris, the squad repeated excellent offensive per- formances game after game. Other players whose support provided the team with depth were sophomores Jay Pruden, Jay Campbell, Amory Lecuyer, Craig Beecroft, David Carpenter, Scott Naurath and Tom Sal- lade, and freshmen, Tripp Spencer and John Be- couvarakis. The Junior Navigators were skillfully coached by Tom Henderson. 109 mm Back, L to R: Manager Susan Hornsby, Trip Spencer, Amory LeCuyer, Eric Head, Ford Stephens, Jay Campbell, Jay Pruden, Tom Sallade, Jeff Rogatz, Chip Harris, Scott Naurath, Coach Henderson.

In a season plagued with injuries and poor weather, the Navigators maintained consis- tent soccer play under Coach Rick Niedbala and pro- duced five All-Star players, with senior Davis Wildman placing on the First Team All-Star in both the league and the Tidewater Division. Seniors Lee McClaine and Todd MacCoy made the league ' s second team and the division ' s first team: and senior Sam Wilson and sophomores Joe Barron and Charles Payne placed on the division ' s second team. The Junior Varsity Soccer team, which fought val- iantly against chilling temperatures and staggered practices, struggled through a season of rescheduled games to achieve a 5-2-3 record which produced some up-and-coming players. n5 ■■ mm • ' i i i SUP Back row, 1 to r: David Stadlin, Keith Johnson, David Garland, Robin Dawson, Gant Massey, Michael Allen, Dan Mazza.

With the coach, Richard Heldenfels, and a period of physical conditioning, the team was ready for com- petition. The runners improved tremendously dur- ing the season. The five lettermen: Sid Wilson, Chip Harris, Scott Naurath, Phillip Dawson, and Robin Dawson will all be running again next year. The Coaches Award was received by freshman Chip Harris for his top per- formance and good sportsmanship during the sea- son. The HRA cross country course is 2.2 miles long and the preparation for next fall ' s competition began in the second semester. The future success of cross country is assured by the number of 8th grade partic- ipants who have tremendous potential. 121 BASEBALL •k The HRA baseball team enjoyed a winning 10-4 season under the guidance of first year coach Jack Marr. Some of the victories weren ' t even close, but that did not lessen the excitement for the fans. For most of the players, 1976 was not their first year of baseball. Seniors Mark Short, David Murray, and Mitch Mitchell, who all had previous experience, were aided by outstanding junior and sophomore players such as Bill Shelley, David Wildman, Dwight West, and Chip Christian. With such experienced underclassmen returning, 1977 seems to be a sure bet for an excellent season. GOLF Last year, playing with seniors Tony Hux, Brian Beecroft, Chip Seward (Co-MVP), and juniors Peter Paine, Reed Atkins, Hank Diesel (Co-MVP), the Golf team compiled an impressive 11-1 record losing only to Norfolk Cathlic by one stroke. Under Coach Dave Stonebreaker, the highlight of the sea- son was capturing the Commonwealth Conference Championship. This year ' s team promises the best and to be equally successful with the returning ju- niors and strong support from the underclassmen. Tom Henderson, the new coach, is introducing a system that uses ten players in hope of building a nucleus for upcoming seasons. With a strong turn- out of 13 golfers, Hampton Roads can look forward to great success on the green. ooa VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY Sipe, Hope Thompson, Molly Stephens, Leath Burdeshaw, fill Harvey, Kathy iams, Cynthia Michael, Virginia Glasheen, Lisa Smith.

The team took revenge later in the season by beating them in a thrilling second game. All the rest were victories with the help of Leath Burdeshaw, Most Valuable Forward, and Betsy Field, Most Valuable Back. Coach Richwine and the rest of the team will miss the seniors who helped make hockey so suc- cessful this fall. m.

Their record was no indication of their dedication, but most importantly, the girls really enjoyed the season. The coaching of Jill Sisco and lead- ership of co-captains, Betsy Field and Susan Hornsby brought the team many learning ex- periences. The other two seniors, Jill Harvey and Ellen Powell, will be missed next year, as well as Betsy and Susan. Next year promises to be an excellent season, with the experience of returning players, the new additions to the team, and the spirit they all possess. Early in the season, the team entered the Portsmouth Catholic Invitational Tournament and almost upset the highly favored home team. In the finals, they surprised the fans and played extremely well, only to lose to Portsmouth by a few points in the last quarter. An im- portant factor to keep in mind is that the team was com- posed largely of underclassmen. The starting line-up included: Joanne Krause, Susan Palmer, Bonnie Fass, Sara Butler, and Susan Hornsby. Strong help from the bench was called upon often. The team was spirited, sportsman-like and they won and lost together. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Back row: Dana Diesel, Susan Palmer, Coach Rutter, Bonnie Fass, Joanne Krause.
