FERGUSON HIGH SCHOOL Newport News, Virginia Volume IV Linda Lacy Editor Donna Crenshaw Assistant Editor Mrs. Vivien H. Neale Advisor Nancy Powers Business Manager Pam Palmer Assistant Business Manager m t 1965 Mrs. Neale taught four classes of Senior English. An unfaltering guide and friend, Mrs. Vivien H. Neale deserves the recognition for making this annual a successful one. As sponsor of the yearbook staff for three years, Mrs. Neale has instigated in numerable improvements for which we all should be grateful. Her hard work and dedication were also evident as she as- sisted the homecoming committee this year. She majored in sociology and English in college and has proficiently taught both these subjects at Ferguson. Beyond her duties as teacher and advisor, Mrs. Neale has been a loyal friend to many of us at Ferguson. She has understood our problems, assisted us with remarkable patience, inspired us with confidence, and encouraged us when we were disheartened. Sadly we accept her farewell to Ferguson, sincerely we extend our heart-felt appreciation to her. It is to you, Mrs. Neale, that we proudly dedicate the ' 65 MARINER. She cheerfully gives helpful sug- gestions. What a friendly Mari- ner ! 4 Teacher, Advisor, Friend Mrs. Vivien H. Neale A tree may be straight and tall, or it may be crooked and scrawny. A tree may grow each year, branching in all directions, or it may wither and die, lacking the strength to flourish. A tree may have numerous branches supported by a healthy, sturdy trunk, or it may have a few extensions jutting from a wavering, narrow torso. A tree may have colorful blossoms to brighten its existence, or it may strive in homely monotony. It is with deep-seated pride that Ferguson Mariners rightfully claim a firm collation of characteristics to the straight, tall, healthy tree. The proof of this collation is apparent as we rummage through the pages of this pictorial history of that great and unforgettable year, 1964- ' 65. Recall the novelty of the fresh, exciting ventures we fervently pursued which successfully set precedents for the coming years. These are the signs of our branching growth. Notice the vast number of clubs and the fine quality of their works here at Ferguson. These are our majestic branches which are so well supported and aided by the faculty and administration- -the firm foundation. Re- member the events which budded so magnificently to perch forever on a limb of every Mariners ' memory. These are our blossoms of joy. Now, as we turn the pages of this 1965 MARINER, a prideful student body of mighty Mariners shall be revealed as the totality of Ferguson ' s loftiness. . ;■ CONTENTS Academics page 36 Seniors page 48 Sports page 212 Student Life page 252 jL The surroundings of Ferguson provide a con- venient locale for parties on the beach. Mariners enjoy gathering round an open fire during the leisure months of summer. September returns all too soon for most students. Summer, however, is gradually overshadowed by homework and extra-curricular activities. Lunch is a welcome break during the course of a busy Ferguson day. Warm weather encourages lounging on the patio, a pastime which ends with the abrupt call of the bell. The 3:35 bell summons students to various activ- ities including play rehearsals, athletic practices and club meetings. ADMINISTRATION and Within the following pages are pictured those people we must thank for making that all important asset, a well- rounded education, readily available to us. The adminis- trators serve to insure that discipline, order and coopera- tion are maintained for better learning and teaching condi- tions. Ferguson is further blessed with services provided by efficient counselors, secretaries, clerks, librarians and others. Due to the mammoth number of students at Fergu- son, these people are constantly busy. Perhaps most pertinent to Ferguson is the superb teach- ing staff. Our school boasts a faculty of one hundred teachers, many of whom contribute of their extra time to sponsor extra-curricular activities. Their loyalty to this school and student body may be seen in their enthusiastic support of athletic events, stage productions, dances and concerts. (How can anvone ever forget that hilarious skit the teachers presented for stunt night!) Many of our teachers are pre- sently furthering their own knowledge through individual research and work toward advanced degrees. Ferguson should be exceedingly proud of its well qualified, devoted faculty, administration and staff. n n The office is the pivot point for all teachers. Before school they often meet here informally to discuss the day ' s plans and pick up last minute instructions. In a teacher ' s busy schedule the lounge provides a place for relaxation. For the floating teachers it also provides a headquarters and a place for paper grading. 16 It has been a tremendously exciting and enjoyable first year at Ferguson. To the students, the faculty and the com- munity I would like to express my gratitude for memories that will be pleasant for years to come.” Mr. M. D. Pack Principal To Principal M. D. Pack may be attributed many of the policy changes which aided Ferguson in operating smoothly during 1964-65. As the new principal, Mr. Pack was faced with meeting hundreds of new people and making dozens of decisions which affected each of them. Mr. Pack came to Ferguson from Fort Chis- well High School where he had served for four years as principal. Previous to his position at Fort Chis- well, he had served as principal at George Wythe Junior High, Thomas Jefferson Grammar School and Willis Elementary School. At Concord College and the University of Vir- ginia, where Mr. Pack earned his B.S. and M.Ed. degrees respectively, his studies were concentrated in the fields of history, art, English and social studies. Ferguson is indeed fortunate in having as a principal Mr. M. D. Pack whose goal of coordinating the entire school program was partially realized this year. Mr. Pack discusses a scheduling problem with Mr. Hughes. 17 Mrs. Passage has been asso- ciated with the Ferguson staff for the past six years. Previous to her appointment as assistant principal, she was an active mem- ber of the English Department. Mrs. Passage received her B.S. degree from Appalachian State Teachers ' College and was awarded her M. Ed. by the College of William and Mary. In addition to performing admirably her many duties as assistant principal, Mrs. Passage serves as adviser to the Ferguson SCA and is vitally interested in SCA work at all levels. Mrs. Mary L. Passage Assistant Principal Mr. Frank L. Thompson Assistant Principal Mr. Thompson received both his A.B. and his M.Ed. degrees from the College of William and Mary. Before becoming Fergu- son ' s assistant principal, he taught math and last year held the position of attendance officer. During the nine years that Mr. Thompson has been associ- ated with the Ferguson staff, he has initiated many procedures which have served to lessen the confusion of a crowded school. Mr. Agamemnon Vassos Director of Guidance Mr. Vassos received an A. A. degree from Old Dominion College and B.S. and M.Ed. from the College of William and Mary. His advanced study in the field of guidance and counseling has provided him with the background to fill the position of director of guidance at Ferguson for the past four years. Mrs. Elizabeth R. Reynolds Guidance Counselor A graduate of the University of North Carolina where she earned an A.B. degree, Mrs. Reynolds has also done advanced study at East Carolina College and the College of William and Mary. Her areas of concentra- tion were Romance languages and education. Mrs. Reynolds has been a member of the Ferguson staff for the past seven years. Mrs. Charlotte H. Gaw Guidance Counselor Mrs. Gaw, who has been asso- ciated with the Ferguson staff for the past four years, attended Mary Washington College where she earned a B.S. degree and the College of William and Mary where she earned her M.Ed. in guidance. Before joining the guidance depart- ment, Mrs. Gaw was a teacher and department head in the business department. Mrs. Virginia R. Pepper Guidance Counselor Mrs. Pepper attended the Wom- en ' s College of the University of Delaware and the University of Vir- ginia where she earned her A.B. and M.Ed. degrees respectively. Her fields of study were English, history, and secondary education. Mrs. Pep- per, who has been at Ferguson for the past five years, is the sponsor of an active F.T.A. Mrs. Mildred H. Carter Guidance Director English, history and guidance commanded Mrs. Carter ' s attention during her college years. After at- tending Ward-Belmont Junior Col- lege, Mrs. Carter attended the Col- lege of William and Mary where she was awarded A.B. and M.Ed. de- grees. Mrs. Carter has been asso- ciated with the Ferguson staff for the past seven years. 19 Office Staff Our office staff includes Mrs. Martha H. Oder, Mrs. Florence C. Stutz. Mrs. Juanita M. Granger, and Mrs. Margaret C. Crate. Mrs. Oder ' s jobs include sending college transcripts, typing, filing, and handling transfers. Mrs. Stutz handles various bookkeeping and filing chores. Working the office machines, typing letters, forms, and exams, writing absentee forms, and waiting on the counter are the duties of Mrs. Granger. Mrs. Crate does the bookkeeping and general office and secretarial work. These ladies are indispensable in the efficient running of school business. Mr. Thomas E.

Even though conditions are crowded, students here may benefit from diverse aids to enlighten their studies. A modern language lab, a well-equipped chemistry lab, and an excellent shop are among the assets of our school. Teachers often make use of other aids such as films, records, speakers, or reference books. Most extraordinary is the overwhelm- ing variety of electives offered to Ferguson ' s students. This year modern European hist ory, business English, third year German, fifth year French, fourth year Spanish, preparatory D.E.. music theory, and Boys ' Chorus were added to the already large curriculum of subjects available. Outside the classroom there are sundry clubs for stu- dents who wish to further exploit such areas as history, literature, science, languages, art, or math. The intellectual capabilities of Mariners are also displayed in debates, seminars, and speeches. An excellent example of the enthusi- asm Ferguson has academic ally was the political rally which examined the issues of our national presidential elections. All of Ferguson benefited from the opinions expressed by adult guests as well as student speakers. Mariners receive further recognition for their academic ability through vari- ous honor societies and honor awards which are available. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Smith Many hours of research are required in the preparation of the term paper. After facts are gathered and sources are cited, the seemingly insurmountable task of sorting, organizing, and writing still looms ominously before the student of English. Ellen ponders over her in- numerable facts, theories, and fantasies concerning the love poetry of the Brown- ings. An understanding of oneself often comes through his study of literature revealing the personal philosophies of great authors and poets. The study of American literature during the junior year affords students an understanding of themselves as well as their country. Agnes concentrates on both objectives in her reading of Emerson ' s essays. 38 Mrs. Mary Ellen Taback Department Chairman Math The Math Department is divided into two programs--one for college bound students and the other for terminal stu- dents. Senior math analysis is a pop- ular course among prospective gradu- ates while underclassmen spend many hours mastering courses in general math, algebra and geometry. Within these courses, students find the slide rule to be an indespensable tool for calculating math problems. The Math Department employs many methods in teaching the fundamentals of reasoning. This student is using the graph board to locate the abscissa and ordinate of a line segment. 39 Mr. William C. Underwood Department Chairman Social Studies A government course designed to acquaint students with U. S. government is required of all seniors. During the national elections students were encouraged to exchange views. These students are debating the relative merits of the party platforms. World geography provides students an insight into the countries of the world. Detailed map study helps students to locate easily the various places studied. Skip explains to his sociology class the fallacy of mis- leading advertisements. Sociology is a popular elective dealing with social problems. 40 Mr. Henry G. Drudge Department Chairman Science Chemistry provides the opportunity for students to acquire a basic knowledge of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes under different conditions. Modern experimental methods are employed in proving theories. Biology students also learn about animal life. Often their study is enhanced by the dissection of the animals that are being studied. In one phase of biology, plant life from its simplest to its most complex forms is studied. These students are marking off areas of the leaf for detailed study. Through their course in earth-space, eighth grade stu- dents are kept up-to-date in modern science. The model of the atom helps students visualize the smallest particle of an element. 41 Mrs. Ruth B. Sanders Department Head Girls ' Physical Education Girls ' physical education classes stress activities which have leisure time and personal value for the girls. Modern dance teaches coordination, poise, and self-expression. Coach George E. Tyson, Jr. Department Head Boys ' Physical Education Ferguson boys keep in top physical condition by partici- pating in team and individual sports. Rope climbing proved to be a new challenge for the boys ' gym classes. 42 The varsity band spent long hours in preparation for their annual Christmas, midwinter, spring, and jazz con- certs. Charles and Suzanne depict a typical practice ses- sion in the band room. Homemaking classes are designed to teach valuable skills needed in the life of the successful homemaker. Sew- ing, cooking, and childcare are popular units of study for the girls AND boys taking homemaking. 43 Mrs. Helen P. Wilson Department Head Business Typing is the most popular business course for both college-bound and career students. Shorthand students driU daily to acquire proficiency. The tape recorder is a valuable asset in attaining this goal. Students bound for the world of business must learn to operate a multitude of machines. Among them are the add- ing machine, dictaphone and calculator. Mastering the art of advertising is a must” for dis- tributive education students. These boys are discussing the proper arrangement for an appealing display. 44 Extensive use is made of the language lab in the teach- ing of French. Marion checks her dictionary for a proper verb form. Mr. Horace Nims Department Head Foreign Languages Students often present plays to help them in speaking German correctly and naturally. Several plays were written and presented by the Spanish classes. In order to better understand the use of the language lab, students of this Latin class examine the control machine. 45 Mr. Archie Hughes Department Head Industrial Arts Art students learn the fundamentals of drawing through the media of ink, oil, water color, crayon and charcoal. Boys in woodshop are taught woodworking for both voca- tional and leisure time use. To the astonishment of his audience, Ricky demonstrates the proper gesture to be used in a play being planned by his drama class. Concentration and attention to detail are necessary in learning the art of designing machinery and buildings. 46 47 SENIORS The Seniors are the leaders. They are older, wiser, and more experienced. At least this is the way Ferguson Seniors, past, present and future, like to describe themselves. Each year the Seniors must face added responsibilities while en- joying added pleasures. This year the pleasures came with the Senior privileges (a private lunch room and parking lot), the first place homecoming float, a successful hootenanny, college acceptances, the Senior Assembly and picnic, the Senior Prom and of course graduation. Or maybe graduation should be termed a sadness rather than a pleasure. Indeed, as usual, it was a little of both. Responsibility is a pleasure also when Seniors are blessed with ability, support, and assistance. Mr. Donald R. Byrd deserves a hearty applause for so diligently serving and guiding the Senior class. The fine student leaders from this year ' s graduating class likewise merit recognition. Committee chairmen and committee members worked hard with the officers to fulfill their responsibilities and make possible their pleasures. A supporting administration and faculty along with a hard-working Senior class and a loyal advisor combined to issue forth a growth represented by the loftiest branch on our tree. 48 We stood on the threshold of new ways President — Sandy Wilson Treasurer — Richard Larsen Secretary- - Patrina Fabbri Parliamentarian- - Richard Gabriel Reporter- - Nancy Powers Sponsor — Mr. Donald Byrd Class Committee Chairmen and Senior Council members are (ROW 1) Camille Stroud, Myra Phillips, Polly Osborne, Linda Lacy, Joyce Culliton, Gail Rowe, Cynthia Ensley, Creasy Davis, Judy Hall, Sue Wingfield; (ROW 2) Pam Woltz, Bonnie Tully, Anne Jayne, Fran Sharp, Mary Ruth Sanders, Henrietta Skinner, Diana Hall, Susie Cutler, Betty Marie Millner, Courtney Andrews, Kitty Eggers, Hope Mayo, Jane Ayers; (ROW 3) Art Casey, James Newton, Jeff McDer- mott, John Willey, Skipper Vichness, Carl Kolling, Dave Myers, John O ' Hara, and Caxton Haughton.

Reverend McClure reminded the Seniors of the goals they must strive for ... in- dividuality, purpose, and perfection. The benediction was given by Rabbi Task. The Seniors then rose and left to await the memorable day of graduation. 101 These events were sustained through Seated Seniors listen attentively to graduation proceedings. Senior girls, dressed in white robes, await graduation. For graduation ceremonies, the Senior boys wear blue caps and gowns. The long awaited day of graduation dawned sunny and clear. Excitement filled the air as Seniors emerged from their homerooms in their blue and white robes. The graduating class was the largest in the city, numbering 434. The procession filed out four abreast to the music of Pomp and Circumstance and was seated on the front lawn. The popping of flashbulbs and clicking of cameras were not an unusual sight. 102 the long awaited event — Graduation. The valedictorian and salutatorian prepare to give their speeches. Kitty Eggers and Ann Colasurdo shared the honor of being class valedictorians for 1965. Unfortu- nately, Kitty moved to France and was unable to attend the graduation exercises. Richard Larsen was the class salutatorian. The main speaker for the graduation ceremony was Mr. M. H. Norris, director of secondary schools in Norfolk. The graduation address was given by Mr. M. H. Norris. Richard Larsen was the Senior Class salutatori- an. Ann Colasurdo shared the honor of being valedictorian. Co-valedictorian was Kathryn Eggers. I mm 103 Sadness and pride went hand in hand After Mr. Norris completed his address, the Seniors sang the class song and the Alma Mater. Then they prepared to take the final step in their high school career. Solemnly they lined up and mounted the platform to re- ceive their diploma from the principal Mr. M. D. Pack. The Seniors line up row by row to receive their diploma. As their names were called by vice-principals, Mrs. Passage and Mr. Thompson, the Seniors stepped forth, led by the honor graduates who were distin- guished by their gold tassels. The benediction was given and the Seniors slowly walked out and returned to their homerooms. Seniors in line anxiously await their turn to mount the platform. The last steps are mounted and the diploma is received. 104 as the Seniors took their last bows. As our school officials leave, Seniors rise to follow. Seniors gather in homeroom to return robes and get their diplomas. In homeroom, robes were quickly discarded and Seniors received their real certificates of graduation. Thus one milestone of life was completed and we entered into the begin- ning of another. Parents and friends await the arrival of the graduates. 105 Mr. Pack and Mr. Norris mingle with Seniors after the completion of graduation. UNDERCLASSMEN Each individual underclassman at Ferguson owes a cer- tain amount of loyalty to his particular class. Like all Mariners who preceded them, the Eighth Graders started off this year by electing their officers and presenting the annual Mouse Assembly. This officially indoctrinated these students as full fledged Mariners. Already organized and adjusted to life at Ferguson, the other classes eagerly made plans for homecoming. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors worked hard on their float entries all of which made an impressive show in the para de. Stew the Falcons” proved a successful theme for the Juniors who won second place honors. Each class enthusiastically participated in Powder-puff athletic games. The Juniors were rightfully proud of their victory over the Seniors in a Powder-puff football game, and the Sophomores boasted a win over the Freshman girls ' basketball team. The Key Club bazaar, Stunt Night, the political rally, and the Miss Mariner Contest were other areas in which underclassmen were represented. The suc- cesses of each class have been significantly instrumental in the success of Ferguson as a whole.

Several significant events which made their debut at Ferguson this year are included in this sec- tion. Opposite this page is pictured the winning float in Ferguson ' s first homecoming parade. The team effort of the entire student body was evident when our mammoth ide unfolded proudly down Warwick Boulevard. The Miss .ner Contest, sponsored by the MARINER Staff, enters these pages for the first time. The contest proved to be a great success and a wonderful experience for the twenty- two participants. Students maintaining high scholastic records have also received feature coverage this year. Returning as features again this year are the Band Sweet- heart, the Senior Personalities, and the Outstanding Seniors. These people deserve to be honored for aspiring to Fergu- son ' s hall of fame for the gifted, the ambitious, the affable, a nd the progressive. These people add merit to our school and these events add joy to our lives. M ¥ V.VfVJ f 4 Outstanding HOPE MAYO Hope ' s quiet reserve sometimes belies her wide scope of in- terest and achievement. Instrumental music played a large part in Hope ' s high school life. She participated in both the Senior and Re- gional Bands and during her Senior year she was awarded the highly coveted Arion Award for her outstanding band contributions. Hope was also active in the Math Club, the History Club and La Societe de Francais. She served her Sophomore Class as treasurer and as a Junior became a member of the National Honor Society.

During his Junior year Sandy won membership in both the Key Club and the National Honor Society. His early high school years found Sandy participating actively in the Senior Band and the All State Band. Service as vice president of his Junior Class well equipped Sandy for his duties the following year. Sandy was a member of the National Honor Society, the German Club, the Science Club and the Math Club and was an SCA representative. Athletics did not escape the attention of this outstanding Senior who was a four year veteran of the Varsity Tennis Team. KATHERINE MARIE EGGERS In addition to her high academic attainments, Katherine can re- call with pride her contributions in the field of drama. She won school-wide recognition for her performance in Teach Me How To Cry. A state award of excellence was presented this outstanding Senior for her superb performance in La Plume de Ma Tante. Katherine became a member of the National Honor Society in the fall of 1964. During the last four years of her high school career, she participated actively in La Societe de Francais. Co-valedictorian Katherine Eggers lent her talent to the stage and her intellect to the classroom. 154 Selected by the Seniors JOHN BOYD WILLEY The scholarship, leadership and service of John Willey can hardly escape the notice of those who know the warmth of his friendly smile. An active Key Clubber since his Sophomore year, John served his club as president during his Senior year. The Math Club, Great Books Discussion Group and Pep Club also received John ' s personal support. During his Junior year John became a member of the National Honor Society and as a Senior he was selected as a member of the Senior Ushers. LINDA ELIZABETH LACY Linda ' s bubbling personality and tireless energy made her one of Ferguson ' s liveliest cheerleaders. Linda joined the cheering squad during her Freshman year. She was a member of the varsity squad during the next three years and was captain during her Senior year. Her interest in student government enabled Linda to serve her SCA as representative and parliamentarian and as a delegate to both convention and federation assemblies. Linda was elected by her classmates as secretary of both her Sophomore and Junior Classes and during her Junior year she was awarded membership in the National Honor Society. During her Senior year Linda edited the MARINER and was inducted into Quill and Scroll. DAVID BRUCE STROYAN No title could have been more appropriately bestowed than that of Most Athletic voted to David by his classmates.

David was an active member of both the Key Club and the National Honor Society. Senior Faculty 155 MISS SARA FRANCES SHARP QUEEN HOMECOMING 1964-65 After many preparations, Ferguson ' s first homecoming parade proved to be a worthwhile venture. The S.C. A.

ORGANIZATIONS The bustling life at Ferguson is rightfully centered around the school ' s multifarious organizations. From among the approximately fifty clubs, any Mariner can select one to interest him. There is a club related to nearly any subject taught in the school and additional ones established for the purpose of service and fellowship. These clubs were formed due to the mutual interest of groups of students, and par- ticipation in these extra-curricular activities is constantly encouraged. It is through this participation that a student can gain confidence and experience to help him through adult life. The central organization at Ferguson is the Student Co- operative Association or S.C.A. From it stems additional committees in which spirited Mariners may play a helpful part in bettering their school. Most of the major activities such as Stunt Night and Homecoming were sponsored by the S.C.A. Other clubs were responsible for dances, charity drives, and a bazaar. Ferguson may easily be proud of its variety of active organizations which serve to complement the valuable education acquired during the high school years. S.C.A.

Members of SGA must be sincerely interested in promoting the school ' s educa- tional program, and they must have leadership qualities. This year a Board of Di- rectors was formed composed of representatives from each grade level. All major prob- lems were discussed and solved by this board, and the answer was then handed down to the homeroom representatives.

The boys who are active in competitive sports deserve our recognition and praise for their faithful endeavors to win fame and respect for the blue and white. Both teamwork and individual talent have combined at Ferguson to produce athletic teams with commendable records. The number of victories and defeats a team acquires depends entirely upon the proficiency and stamina of the boys who participate. Much credit, however, must be given to the fine coaching staff at Ferguson. The knowledge and experience of our coaches passed on to our boys have produced fine athletes and thus provided Ferguson with winning teams. Aside from skill and ability a team must have support. Team spirit must be kept high or defeat is likely. Traditionally it is the job of the cheerleaders to enhance a will to win and encourage good sportsmanship in the athletes. At Ferguson ALL Mariners are faced with this duty. School spirit finds its best opportunity to shine at athletic contests where the public may come to judge. It is to those Mariners who attended the games to give our team support and encouragement that we owe thanks for representing our school well. 212 1964-’65 Varsity (ROW 1) Larry Perok, Gordon Ivey, Mike Whitt, Sidney Peck, Jerry Scharnus, Tommy Harleman, Bobby Farino, Warren Cobean, Danny Sleeper (ROW 2) Jimmy Schroer, Gary Hansen, Lewis Barber, Richard Gabriel, Co- captain: Joe Zayas, Gary Silver, Charlie Correll, Jimmy Nelson (ROW 3) Jinx Duncan, David Stroyan, Lester Smith.

The Hampton team proved to be strong and the game ended with a Crabber victory of 25-6. The Mariner touchdown came on a pass from David Stroyan to Johnny Glazebrook. 219 The Ferguson Crew began their home cam- paign successfully with a 13-0 triumph over the Kellam Knights. The half-time score read 0-0 but the Mariners sparked up the second half with two touchdowns by fullback Larry Perok. Richard Gabriel and Jimmy Nelson both intercepted passes to halt Kellam drives. The Mariner de- fensive front line proved strong and Ferguson won its first home game. The Mariners played their third game across the river where they were stung by the Hornets of Deep Creek. Time after time our boys in blue were stopped short of the goal. The second half proved more fruitful for Deep Creek. Final score gave the Hornets a narrow win of 14-13. Ferguson ' s home winning streak was kept alive with a victory over Kecoughton ' s Warriors. The first half proved to be mainly a defensive struggle. Our big points finally came when Glen the toe Greening kicked a 30 yard goal and gave the Mariners a 3-0 victory. 220 The Ferguson Mariner team was not up to par against Cox at Cox Stadium. The first half ended with the score 20-0 in favor of Cox. The second half saw the Mariners stalled on two pass interceptions and they never got close enough again to score. The powerful Tigers of Oscar Smith hosted the Mariners in their next game. Both teams seemed to be evenly matched. The only score for Ferguson came from a field goal by Glen Greening. Both the Mariner ' s offense and de- fense were strong but not entirely effective. The final score gave the victory to Oscar Smith, 7-3. Ferguson won their third game of the season with a resounding victory over the Suffolk Red Raiders. Passes by David Stroyan to Johnny Glazebrook and Rick Gabriel proved successful while Gordon Ivey was a key player on the Mari- ner defense. The triumphant score was 35-0. 221 The York Falcons played before Ferguson ' s homecoming crowd. A fumble by York gave the Mariners their break and Rick Gabriel success- fully scored. Drives by the Mariners also proved fruitful . A pass by David Stroyan to Johnny Glazebrook put the game out of the Falcons ' reach. The final score of 27-7 gave the Mari- ners their fourth victory. Ferguson traveled to Saunders Stadium with the hope of defeating the powerful Typhoons. A referee ' s decision deprived the Mariner’s of their single touchdown. Newport News ' passes proved to be the only scores in the game; the Mariners were constantly held by the Typhoon’s strong line. The final score was 19-0. Tensions were at a high pitch when the Ferguson Mariners clashed with the Warwick Farmers. By the end of the first half, Warwick had a lead of 7-0. The second half, however, proved brighter for Ferguson. Using a pass interception by Jimmy Schoer, Larry Perok crossed the goal line for the first Mariner touch- down. Perok proceeded to make the second touchdown and Jimmy Schoer, on a pass inter- ception, gained the third and final Mariner tally of the year. Final score, 21-7, gave the victory overwhelmingly to Ferguson. 222 1964-65 J.V.

The season opened quickly for the Mariners with three successive wins over Kellam, Virginia Beach, and Chur chland . Arch-rival Warwick dumped the team but they rebounded with a hard fought win over Kecoughtan.

For the first time in Ferguson ' s his- tory, the Mariner basketball team de- feated the Hampton Crabbers. Three additional wins were recorded over Prin- cess Ann, Kecoughtan, and York before 228 GAME the team hit a slump. Kecoughtan, Maury, Newport News, Warwick, and Hampton then triumphed over the Mariners. A final victory over York ended the regular season. Ferguson for the first time entered the Eastern District Tournament and their opponent was Princess Ann. The Mariners played a good game but lost a thriller 75-66. Mainstays on the squad were Johnny Glazebrook, Joe and Johnny English, Curtis Willis, Dennis Taylor, Barry Rowe and Bob V a s q u e z . These boys played well and brought Ferguson its first winning season in basketball. Johnny Glazebrook was an honorable mention player in the Eastern District. 229 1964-65 J.V.

They quickly opened the season with four big wins over Virginia Beach, Craddock, Princess Anne and York before falling toNorview. The Mariners had a resounding victory over Kecoughtan but then lost to the perennial state champion Granby. Another victory was picked up over Kellam but a tenacious Maury squad proved too powerful for the Mariners. This year the Mariner grapplers carded their first victory over Wilson and tied Great Bridge. They were also victorious over arch-rival Warwich and Cox. The Mariner wrestlers ended the regular season with a 9-3-1 record while in tough District A competition, they were tied for fourth place with a 4-3-1 ledger. The Mariners went to Richmond where they won the Central District Championship with 117 points. First places were recorded by; Mark Hughes, Lee Hauser, Roy Carrithers, John Jaenig and Bobby Farino. 233 1964-65 Indoor Track Team ROW 1: Scutter Granger, Billy Alto, Jimmy Lee, Jerry Mathews, Steve Myers, Kim Smith, Paul Hoffman, Billy Robins, Neal Abrahamson, Tommy Odor, Bobby Baker, ROW 2: Arthel Moore, Jimmy Utley, Jim Batterson, Hugh Wade, Richard Marshall, Kevin Smith, Carl Kolling, Kerry Smith, Steve O ' Hara, Billy Sechman, Mike Hintiques, Lester Brewer, ROW 3: Coach James Linwood Talton, Richard Gabriel, Sam Waddel, Gil Via, Parks Wilson, Lee Abrahamson, George Walls, Gary Hayden, Gary Huskey, Charlie Bennent, Wesley Vischansky.

A severe blow came to the Mariner team when Linwood Talton broke his wrist in a preliminary event. Even though Talton was unable to compete, the track team well represented Ferguson.

Ferguson ' s spirit was sparked by nine vivacious cheerleaders. Their influence was seen everywhere as they led pep assemblies, planned bonfires, decorated locker rooms, developed themes for the games and made special favors for the players. They followed the Mariner teams from town to town, often during in- clement weather, and their faithful presence on the sidelines was an encouraging sight for the boys in blue and white.

PM All- Peninsula Teafn Cel Santiago STUDENT LIFE Personality, vitality and versatility are words describing a youthful student body with countless things to do and places to go. At Ferguson the students are alive an on the move. Thus we find student life is an interesting subject providing the material for comical as well as meaningful pictures. The vastness of student life cannot be easily described as it must include all phases of school activity. In this section we chose to deal with the extras of the year. These are the events which the students are responsible for and which resulted in the most fun for them. Both lively, happy times and solemn, serious times com- prise the mood of student life. If we think back just a moment we shall surely recall experiences of both types. There were political rallies and school elections which proved suc- cessful for some while disappointing to others. There was the powder puff game which thrilled many Juniors while disheartening as many Seniors. Student life is unforgettable. Mariners will remember their experiences at Ferguson for inumerable years to come. Turning the following pages may bring to mind a few fond recollections. ; M Amr Arafa Amr found American kittens as com- panionable as Egyptian camels. Amr soon made himself at home! One of Amr ' s pastimes was playing horseshoes with John in the Olney ' s yard. Amr was permitted to come and go as he pleased. One of Amr ' s most difficult courses was the Senior courses in genetics and ad- vanced chemistry. 254 The Powder Puff Court consisted of (LEFT TO RIGHT) Woody Fitzgerald, Dennis Taylor, Queen John O ' Hara, Svein Lassen, Art Casey and Ricky Richardson. The Powder Puff game involved long hours of practice, the initiation of somewhat dormant muscles, the purchase of new emory boards, A - N - D the preparation of a lovely Powder Puff Court. The result of the game was a Junior victory of 12 to 6. Linda Caracciolo catches a fake pass while other Seniors stand by to tackle. Mary, Kathy, Cindy and Travis go over a few passes. Quarterback Sandra Blankenship practices Senior plays with her fellow players. 255 This is the first technique the Junior girls were taught - how to look glamorous while playing football. The Choral Department had many suc- cessful productions, one of which was the annual Christmas Concert. Featured were the Girls ' Chorus and A Cappella Choir dressed in semi-formal attire. At this concert, Mr. Tony Auby, the director, was presented with a $2 5. 00 gift certificate and a gold watch. Other concerts given by the Choral Department were the annual Spring Con- cert, where the Boys ' Glee Club made their first appearance and a special concert with the Duke Univer sity Men ' s Glee Club. Both the Girls ' Chorus and A Cappella Choir performed for churches and other organizations in the community. Mistletoe ! Many of the selections presented by A Cappella were staged. Choristers decorating the Christmas tree set the mood for There ' s No Place Like Home for the Holidays. Marty King, the president of A Cappella, presented a gold watch to Mr. Auby from the entire A Cappella Choir. Singing while seated about the tree proved very effective. Ferguson ' s Mariner and Cadet Bands experienced a very successful year. A new sound in music was enjoyed by all as the Mariner Band presented its first Jazz Concert. The dress was very casual, the boys wearing ascots and shades, the girls in skirts, sweaters and berets. At the Christmas Concert, the Band Sweetheart and her court were presented, and Mr. Randlette was given a gold watch. The annual Mid-winter Concert was a big success in raising funds for the trip to New York. The year was concluded with the formal Spring Concert where band awards were presented. The Cadet Band participated actively in many local events and brought home many awards to attest to their talent. They, too, presented an awards concert. In addition to music from the band, the audience was fortunate enough to hear a vocal selection from director Randlette. Drum selections by Keith Conley, above, and a trumpet solo by David Brinkley, below, were features of the Jazz Concert. The crew was composed of Donald Draper, Morgan Culliton, Mike Taylor, Ronnie Jackson, Stanley Clark, Ellen Krause. FRONT ROW - Connie Skipper, Paul Dunham, Richard Pultz, Donna Skipper, Craig Smith, and Bill Taylor. The Ferguson stage crew considered of Mariner Thespians who contributed greatly of their time and efforts to the success of the productions of the drama department. Among their responsibilities were lighting, sound effects, staging and scenery. During the year some of their projects were the re-organization of a prop room, the organization of stage facilities, the repairing of stage equipment and the installation of new lighting devices. The stage crew at play ! The crew celebrated their newly built prop room. 258 TEACH ME HOW TO CRY was the main dramatic production of the fall. Stars of this performance were Ellen Krause and Wayne McGee. Supporting char- acters were Susan Messall, Susie Finch, Susan Lus- combe, Donna Crenshaw, Kenny Buckingham, Kitty Eggers, Donna Skipper, and Mike Chapin. Much as- sistance was given these people by the stage crew headed by Richard Pultz and Stanley Clark. The c o mb inat ion of three one- act plays was the major production of the spring of this year. Pro- fessor Hobs and Tea Pot on the Rocks were pro- jects of the first year drama classes. La Plume de ma Tante was also presented at this time. This play was entered in the district dra- matics tournament and was given superior ratings. Kitty Eggers won a state award of excellence for her performance in the latter play. Wayne and Ellen dramatized an emotional scene on the bandstand. Susan Messall, Susan Luscombe, and Susie Finch rehearsed before the big night. Other characters were Susan Luscombe, Kenny Buckingham, and Donna Crenshaw. 259 The Oarsmen ticket! In the SCA elections held in the spring, the Oars- man ticket was headed by their presidential candidate Johnny English. Other Oarsman candidates were Steve O ' Hara, vice president; Pam Palmer, secretary; Susan Fowler, treasurer; Kathy Colbourn, reporter; and Travis Taylor, parliamentarian. Skipper Vichness served as campaign manager. The Pilots ' presidential candidate was Donna Cren- shaw. Seeking other offices were Billy New, vice president; Carol West, secretary; Cindy Rowe, treas- urer; Sherri Skoog, reporter; and Molly Reid, parlia- mentarian. The campaign manager for the Pilots was Craig Foretich. Supporting the Oarsmen in their demonstrations were Paula Britt, Betty Marie Millner, and Bev Miller. Secretary Treasurer Linda Caracciolo gives up her third period class to help clean up the auditorium. COL$0UI?V Reporter 260 Vice-President The week of SCA campaigning was long and the inspired Mariner from all grades participated in morning rallies in the cafeteria or auditorium while demonstrations were held in the halls and parking lot. The results of the voting split the opposing tickets in half. Vic- torious candidates were Donna Crenshaw, Billy New, Pam Palmer, Susan Fowler, Kathy Colbourn and Molly Reid. The Pilot ticket! Parliamentarian Taking part in the Pilots ' demonstration were Jeff McDermott, Macon Juergens, Sandy Wilson, John Willey, Dave Myers and Svein Lassen. ft k w ' Clean-up after the assembly was a must. Morning demonstrations provided an interesting diversion before home- room. 261 guest Bryan B. Palmer. Craig Foretich advocated the Gold- waterites. Ferguson went all out during the national elections. On October 15, the Mariners, under the direction of government teachers Mrs. Marika Anthony, held a giant political rally. The theme for the rally was De- mocracy in Action. Enthusiasts supported their party by distributing handbills and buttons, displaying clever posters and par- ticipating in lively demonstrations. Bev Miller awaits her chance to demon- strate for Goldwater. 262 Sandy Wilson hands out the Re- publican songs to his demon- strators. CRAtY ACTION One of the Democratic supporters speaking for Johnson was Rutherford C. Lake. The Democrats used the tra- ditional symbol of the donkey. The Democrats emphasized their theme by presenting a live animal. Skipper Vichness spoke out for Johnson. Johnson fans decked themselves out as Texans and led the stage demonstrations. Student speakers were Republican Craig Foretich and Democrat Skipper Vichness. The keynote speaker for the Johnson ticket was Lewis McMurran while the Goldwater camp was directed by keynoter Bryan B. Palmer. Other supporters were Rutherford C . Lake and Allen Diamondstein- Democrats - and William Nikel and Roy Aiken - Re- publicans. Bonnie Tully and other Mari- ners distributed literature at the door. Ferguson pepsters felt they had a lot to cheer about this year. Our two top rivals, Warwick and Hampton, were defeated in football and basketball respectively. In addition to cheering for these sports, the cheerleaders also began rooting at certain wrestling matches. This was the game that REALLY was ! The head cheerleader also had a hard time getting the squad ' s attention. Morning pep rallies held between the gyms were started during basketball season. Ferguson pepsters backed up the Mariners. Joiningforces - J. V. and Varsity - proved very effective in closing cheers. (f, Jw., I V ill m 264 Our one and only pep rally held in the auditorium during school hours was before the tournament. The skit for this rally was a take-off on Gunsmoke. The Dodge City Saloon was the scene for merry-making for the Mariners before their victorious gunslinging tournament with the Cavaliersmen from Princess City. The Chorus girls, played by the cheerleaders, presented a spirited minstrel. Doug Marshall, Mai Dunston, and Dave Myers seem to have mastered the art of bridge playing. Other participants shown here in the rally were Gail Rowe, Bobby Hatten, Svein Lassen - Joe the Bartender, Art Casey - Matt, Connie McGuire - Kitty, and Susan Messall. The chorus girls presented their minstrel during the floor show time. Mariner gun-slingers looked on while the chorus girls aroused school spirit and enthusiasm. Enthusiastic Mariners tried to yell loud enough to be heard down the road. 265 FERGUSON FACES DENOTE THE VARIETY OF MARINER FEELINGS Surprise ! Fatigue! 266 The highlight of the working year for the Assembly Committee headed by Dave Myers and Sherri Skoog was the presentation of Stunt Night. Interested groups or individuals participated by dis- playing their talents. There was very good participation this year and the evening proved successful. The Key Club presented a very interesting skit entitled Hones Art ' s Camel - lot! Mr. Randlette, sailed through the air in the teachers ' skit. Alternating nights as victims of pies and shaving cream in the Hi- Y skit were Mark Hughes and Jimmy Colbert. Mr. Byrd and Mrs. Pass- age added culture to the teachers ' skit Duck Pond adapted from Swan Lake by Miss Fivel. Jane Ayers entertained the audience with her vocal ability. 267 Saluting Mrs. Vivien H. Neale was an able sponsor whose ad- vice and hard work proved indispensable to the staff. Working hand in hand to insure a successful yearbook were Donna Crenshaw, assistant editor; Linda Lacy, editor; Nancy Powers, business manager; and Pam Palmer, assistant business manager. ,vvk ] Staff A -- (KNEE LING) DavidCrate, John O ' Hara, Richard Gabriel, Jeff Garnett, and Carter McComb.

A grateful thank you is extended to Jack Leiss, Jim H e w i n , and Ralph Raccioppi for providing us with supplementary pho- tographs. Everyone enjoyed looking at the many pictures that were taken. T It was tedious work, but it was well worth our efforts. Jeff Garnett was a welcome ad- dition to our staff second se- mester. Pictured here are Pat Weaver and Joyce Culliton, faculty and administration editors; Mary Smola, organizations editor; Susan Schultz, features editor; and Leslie Tiller, miscellaneous editor. Classes editors were Susan Tilley, eighth grade; Susan Bryant, ninth grade; Beth Oram, tenth grade; Barbara Hoffman, twelfth grade; and Lola Wentland, eleventh grade. 269 The school year 1964- ' 65 is gone forever. It had sad moments as well as happy ones for us all. There are some memories we wish to forget; there are more we shall always cherish. This past June the Seniors reached the apex of their high school career- -the uppermost boug h. Although all Mariners will remember this year, the departing Seniors will view it with particular sentiment as they branch out into the world. Those who return to Ferguson will recall this year ' s growth and endeavor to heighten and strengthen Ferguson to further liken it to the towering tree whose qualities we so admire. Most Mariners will also remember that this was the year Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater for the presidency of the United States, Nikita Khrushchev was ousted from his position as premier of Russia, rebellious uprisings in the Dominican Republic shared headlines with the war in Vietnam, civil rights demonstrations were prevalent in the South, Edward White actually walked in space, and peninsula residents were plagued by those frightful unidentified flying objects. It is our hope that all aspects of school life at Ferguson have been accurately recorded in this ' 65 MARINER, and that memorable occasions are brought to the minds of all Mariners who explore its pages. Although a fruitful year has drawn to a close, the reminiscence of its eventfulness should never be abandoned. ADVERTISEMENTS Every September the MARINER staff begins its campaign to sell advertisements in order to raise money required to finance the publication of our annual. This year each mem- ber of the staff was assigned a certain area of Newport News where he was expected to approach every prospective buyer of an ad. At 2:30 each afternoon for six weeks, staffers left school to advance our sales. The students of Ferguson should greatly appreciate the patronage of the following firms, busi- nesses, or persons, for without their support this annual could not have been published. There are ninety-eight advertisements in this annual and twenty-two individual patronages. These facts represent much hard work for our business manager and her assistant. Many of the members of the staff enjoyed soliciting for ads, but this was only a part of the work to be done. The tedious job of planning the layout, drawing it on the layout sheet, and billing the merchants was yet to be accomplished. We endeavored to make this year ' s ad section more attractive and interesting by adding more pictures. These pictures were offered to the advertisers free of charge. As you can see, the hard work of the entire staff and especially the busi- ness staff resulted in enough funds to produce this volume.
