16 Firsts Firsts Hayfield's 1984-1985 school year certainly didn't save the best for last. The first pep rally, football game, dance and volleyball game started the year off with a bang. Spirit overflowed the stadium as parents, faculty and alumni shared the first game enthusiasm with students. Donald Robertson, a 1984 graduate stated, I came tonight to say good-bye. Meanwhile, Sophomore Marino Rodriguez express- ed his feelings by commenting, l'm very excited! The first game is a great place where l can show my school spirit. Spirit soared high as victory approached, and Hayfield fans watched as the team destroyed the Saxons 13-0. As the crowd headed for the parking lot and dance, the players knelt around a proud Coach Lowe to be commended for their hard work. The excitement of the first victory carried over to the first dance. The dance was an outstanding success, with over 700 students attending. Tom Hamer captured the mood by stating, The dance was so crowded you could hardly move. Hayfield's first juniorfsenior volleyball game was another success. Students played volleyball before going to cheer the Hawks at T. C. Williams for a Saturday game. The action pack' ed volleyball game ended in a victory for the juniors and em- barrassment for the rowdy seniors. These firsts definitely headed Hayfield toward a promising year. Each student looked forward to the year ahead and was proud to be part of what was inside Hayfield. Okay girls, I mean guys, let's go for it! Powder puff seniors lead the class of '85 in some unique cheers to get everyone ready for the first game. Up, up and away! Senior Mark Concealing their enthusiasm.

Bhatia exclaims, I never thought flour tasted this bad! as he searches jellybean. it is e Camp Varsity hams gather for one more picture before they hit the id back to good 'ole Hayfield. Camp Varsity Camp Varsity, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, was the sight of a memorable weekend retreat for the student leaders of Hayfield. Not only did the participants learn valuable leadership qualities, but they also had an opportunity to express themselves as individuals and make new friends. With the help of class officers, the SCA conducted workshops such as Public Speaking, Duties of an Officer, Parlimentary Pro- cedure, Working Together, and Publicity. A favorite workshop for many was Public Speaking. Andrea Johnson randomly picked the topic My Favorite Pet. Within moments she construed a hilariously dramatic speech about her beloved pet, Samuel the Ardvark, who was abducted by a group of cruel bullies who tied his nose in a knot. Plagued with a cold, poor Samuel sneezed and blew his brains out his ears. To add some zest to the weekend. the students engaged in the outrageous Annual Aylor Olympics. The team relays included such wacky games as finding and eating jellybeans from a pan of flour fwithout any handsl and groups consuming eighty marsh- mallows within two minutes. Senior Van Brollini joked, Nothing was funnier than seeing Kathleen Kay sprawl around on the floor while desperately trying to put on and take off an entire oversized outfit in record time. Between workshops, students enjoyed playing football, or canoeing on the lake. When night rolled around, some sang around a campfire, others danced for hours in their rooms, and still others, more mischievous campers, T.P.'ed rooms. When the bell rang for breakfast, students dragged their ex- hausted bodies out of bed fthose who had gone to bed, that isj. Belongings were collected and everyone bid a fond farewell to Camp Varsity. Students arrived back at Hayfield with good memories, a heightened awareness of their role inside Hayfield and newly acquired skills which they could then apply to their roles as leaders inside Hayfield. Doreen Kelly exclaims, Nothing is better than these biscuits! as she devours her king size breakfast. Camp Varsity 15
