Passage During her many years at Ferguson High School, Mrs. Mary L. Passage has earned the respect and admiration of every Mariner. Her service to the school has included teaching English for two years, holding the position of assistant principal for five years, and acting as advisor for the Student Co-operative Association for four years. This year Mrs. Passage has served as our principal. In spite of the numerous duties that this position requires, she always finds time to attend and to give her support to all school activities. She personally congratu- lates students who have brought honor to Ferguson by winning recognition in the fields of academics and sports. The 1966 MARINER is dedicated to Mrs. Passage by a student body that is thankful for her leadership and for her continuous devotion to Ferguson High School. 4 a friend, a loyal Mariner. y i Mi?5 P ?55fl6Ā£ Mr. and Mrs. Passage greet students in the homecoming parade .-JCTttar-ā 2% -A Ā£ Cl 1 Mrs. Passage helps Mary Smola with MARINER transactions.

If it functions adequately, it illuminates safety; but, if it pos- sesses the slightest flaw, it endangers the ves- sel ' s present and future course. As we, participants in the memorable year, 1965- ā 66, turn the pages of this 1966 MARINER, we see that Ferguson ' s guiding light strives to steer its student body in a profitable course. The union of the administration and faculty in the academic and social environment of our school creates a brilliant light which beckons the students to follow the difficult path of the future. The students, greatly influenced by this illumina- tion of spirit and knowledge, also ban together to actualize the responsibilities and standards set for them in the classroom, in athletic com- petition, in extracurricular activities, and in the home. Together, the student body and the administration and faculty are strengthened; divided- -they fail. Look into this volume of school life, and experience again and again the success which is FERGUSON ' S. be a beacon to see 7 10 ACADEMICS PAGE 14 SENIORS PAGE 40 UNDERCLASSMEN ....

The admin- istration and faculty are responsible for guiding the students toward their prospective goals. We, the students, are grateful to these people for their dedication to us throughout our years at Ferguson. The members of the faculty are graduates of many colleges throughout the nation. They have earned various degrees in numerous fields which qualify them as able instructors. Serving as advisors, many teachers contribute much of their time to academic and service clubs. Many teachers express their loyalty to the school by participating in such events as Stunt Night and the Faculty-WGH Microphonie Basketball Game. Most important to the efficient maintenance of our school are the devoted administrators. Their capable leadership and service are neces- sary to maintain order and carry out the school functions. Their advice, guidance, and coopera- tion will always be remembered. The Ferguson graduate is well prepared either to begin his career or to further his edu- cation. From the eighth grade the student is offered various electives along with required courses. A student has the opportunity to excel in any subject he desires. Advanced courses include modern European history, advanced composition, world literature, Senior math anal- ysis and genetics. Various clubs allow the stu- dent to further his interests in many subjects. Ferguson is fortunate to have the academic program prepared and presented by a dedicated faculty and administration. the foundation for learning. 15 Our dedicated principals In taking this record of your 1965-66 school year home for inspection, you will find that it will recall different events, a variety of friends, some accomplish- ments as you read it in the years to come. You Seniors will leaf through it to polish the memory of months that stretch back to that time in your life when you never thought you would have a Senior picture in this annual. You will be able to reconstruct a ball game from some of the pictures; you will, in the years ahead, wonder what ever happened to this friend or that buddy. Eut Ferguson High will never be the same to any one of you. Doors open, and you step through, but you do not go back, unless in memory you learn anew from the past so that you can make mature judgments about your future. For some of you, this book is the final record of your last formal education. But I would say that there are other books, and your education should not stop so long as there is a book to be opened. For all of you, I should say that in the coming two years, you will know more about what there is to know than at any other time in your lives. To those of you who go on, this is but a record of my heartfelt wishes for fulfillment of your prayers and your dreams. For those of you who will find jobs, let me wish that you ' re always thinking and wishing for something a bit more, a bit better, for this is the stuff of which ambition is made. To those of you who remain at Ferguson, let me say that you Seniors have wrought a firm and proud tradi- tion in these early years of Ferguson ' s history as a high school, and we shall build carefully and well upon those foundations.

They were members of the class of 1966; the first class to complete five entire years at Ferguson. The eighth grade was a new beginning. It was hard to survive those highly sophisticated courses in mathematics, English, and geography. During this year the new building was constructed and our class president, Travis Taylor, steered us through the new year of obstacles. The ninth grade delivered to us new hopes and new friends. Richard Wyatt led us onward through a year of money-raising activities. We continued working toward our sophomore year by writing the schoolās new Alma Mater. During our sophomore year we again lost the powder-puff basketball game, but we managed to produce a very successful recreation night. Then came our junior year, the year of the prom that we presented to the class of 1965. To raise money for the prom we sponsored bake sales, another recreation night, a license plate sale, and a powder-puff football game, which we won. When the day came to order class rings we could see how fast the time had flown. At last the September of our senior year arrived. When we finally received our rings, we were so proud to show them off. The senior float won first place in the Homecoming parade. To create and encourage school spirit, we formed the kazoo band. Meade Mitchell, as class presi- dent, led us through our final year at Ferguson. We began to think toward our final class projects: electing senior personalities, getting ready for the banquet, the prom, the senior day, and the achievement of our long and unforgettable goal- -graduation. The end arrived quickly. The five years of our high school career were gone forever, leaving only memories of the past and the foundation and stepping stones to a new and greater tomorrow. meet new challenges. 41 MERRIE SUSAN ABSHER Susan Class Council 11; Class Committee 11,12; Na- tional Honor Society 11,12; WINDJAMMER Staff 12; Quill Scroll 11,12; Keyettes 11,12; FTA 11; Latin Club 8,9,10,11,12; GRA 9,10,11; His- tory Club 11,12 TERRY ASHTON ADAMS Terryā SCA Representative 8; Art Club 8; YFC 10,11; Varsity Football 12; 100-Mile Club 12 LYNDA RENEE ALLEY Lynda SCA Representative 8,9; SGA 10; Class Council 8,9,10,11,12; National Honor Society 11,12; Art Club 8; A Cappella 12; Girls ' Chorus 10,11; Madrigal Chorus 11,12; Music Club 11,12; Fiorello EDWARD HUBERT ALSTON, JR.

Let there be peace on Earth, the peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father, brothers all are we; Let me walk with my brother, in perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now. With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow: To take each moment and live each moment in peace, eternally. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. 91 Great admiration for our outstanding JAMES GARY BATTERSON Jimmy represents versatility by his achievements in scholastic, athletic, andmusical fields. Well known are Jimmyās honors received in the All Virginia Band, All State Band, and the Regional Band, as well as in Ferguson ' s Senior Band. Memb ership in the Science Club, JETS, and the Math Club indicate Jimmy ' s scientific inclinations; and his membership in the Na- tional Honor Society and the Key Club demonstrate his qualities of leadership and service. MARY FULLER BECKER A superior student in every respect, Mary did not concentrate all efforts on earning the honor of Salutatorian of the Class of 1966. She cheerfully de- voted much of her time to the SCA, Class Commit- tees, AFS, the Honorary French Society, National Honor Society, GRA, and the Great Books Club. In the summer after her junior year, Mary was one of Ferguson ' s representatives to Girls ' State. SARAH JANE DEAZLEY Through her outgoing personality and keen in- terest in student government, Sally contributed much to the student body of Ferguson. Sally was active in the SCA, as a representative and as a Federation Delegate. Other interests of Sally were the National Honor Society, AFS, the Latin Club, and the Great Books Club. 92 Seniors was held by all EDWARD CHARLES POLHAMUS, JR. Ed was characterized by his numerous and di- verse activities. The range of Ed ' s high school ac- tivities extends from basketball to public speaking. His greatest achievements were in academic and musical pursuits. Determined to maintain an A aver- age throughout high school, Ed well deserved the honor of Valedictorian of the Class of 1966. Organizations in which he has been active include the National Honor Society, the Honorary German Society, the Latin Club, Forensics, the Senior Band, All State Band, Regional Band, and the Key Club. Ed brought further honor upon Ferguson by being a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition. MARY CAROL SMOLA Mary ' s friendly personality and serious ambition were recognized through her effor ts in the SCA, AFS, National Honor Society, Quill Scroll, and Class Committees. The Future Teachers of America organ- ization consumed much of Mary ' s time: in her senior year, Mary was President of the Peninsula Federation of the Future Teachers of America, as well as Presi- dent of Ferguson ' s chapter. Much hard work and de- termination were also required of Mary in her position as Editor of the MARINER. EDWARD SEARS YATES A truly representative student, Chip took his place in student government through the Class Coun- cil, the SCA, and Boys ' State. Chip was also an active member of the Key Club and the History Club, and President of the National Honor Society. His wit and talent for entertaining were recognized by all. The title of Wittiest was indeed appropriately bestowed upon him. 93 UNDERCLASSMEN 94 ā ā ā ā Underclassmen comprised the bulk of Fer- gusonās students. Their enthusiastic participa- tion in school activities heightened the spirit of the entire student body. The eighth graders were initiated into the traditions at Ferguson by the presentation of their talents at the annual Mouse Assembly. Their school-wide Christmas fund demonstrated not only their school spirit, but also their con- cern for others. The Freshman and Sophomore classes clashed in an exciting Powder-puff basketball game won by the Sophomores. Sophomores en- tered a float in the Homecoming parade and held a coat check at the dance that night. The main activities of the Junior Class were centered around money-making projects to fur- nish funds for the Senior prom. These funds were obtained through the presentation of a hootenanny and the sale of STUDENT DIREC- TORIES. Each class at Ferguson enjoyed an eventful year. By sponsoring projects, the classes in- creased their t r e a s u r i e s and developed new friendships. These friendships were furthered by educational experiences in the classroom. This year will be remembered as a year of spirit and enthusiasm in the hearts of all F. H.

Applause burst from the audience as Mr. Underwood crowned the Band Sweetheart, Carole Jarvis, at the Spring Concert held May 2nd at 8 p.m. in the Ferguson auditorium. Carole, escorted by Harvey Perkins, was at- tended by Donna Nelson, escorted by Mark Gerhardt, and Suzanne Edge, es- corted by Ed Polhamus. The title of Band Sweetheart is an honor bestowed upon a Junior or Senior girl in the Mariner Band, whose outstanding work is recognized by other members of the band. In selecting their Sweetheart, the members consider these qualities: leadership, musical ability, dependa- bility, honesty, loyalty, and service to the band. Some Enchanted Evening was the theme for the concert. The event could also be referred to as a Solo Concert because each song played by the band was accompanied by a soloist. The three outstanding solos were: A Touch of Tuba , Concertino , and Alto Mood , played respectively by Jim Batterson, Carole Jarvis, and Ed Polhamus. Jack Gaughan presented Carole Jarvis with a bouquet of roses from the band. 135 w M, i ORGANIZATIONS 136 The activities and traditions of Ferguson were centered around its organizations.

Through these accomplishments the various teams felt the real value of success. This feel- ing of success was boostered by the support of the student body. Ferguson experienced a new school spirit which had not been present in the past, and it was felt no matter where the action took place. Whether on the gridiron, on the basketball court, on the baseball field, or on the hockey field, the participants appreciated the guidance and support of the coaches, the cheer- leaders, and the students. creates school spirit. 173 Ferguson gridders surprised (FRONT ROW) Bill Walker, Meredith Challoner, Gary Silver, Tommy Wesson, Wilton Bunn, Gordon Cooper, Gary Nachman, Dave Gwaltney, Mark Mohler, Steve O ' Hara (ROW 2) Will Jen- kins, Grayson Williams, Danny Sleeper, Steve Ely, Johnny Coleman, Steve Winfrey, Ronnie Jackson, Dennis Norton, George Barber, Sammy Winfrey (BACK ROW) Mike Willis, Chip Grif- fiths, Richard Wyatt, Lewis Barber, Jinx Duncan, Jerry Schar- nus, Jimmy Cocke, Mike Wilcox The Mariners began their 1965 campaign with an away game at Norfolk Catholic.

The cheerleaders did a splendid job this year sparking Fergusonās spirit. Their influence was seen everywhere as they decorated the locker rooms, developed themes for the games, and did special favors for the players. No matter where the mighty Mariners presented themselves, these pepsters were there too, giving the boys in the blue and white their every ounce of support. In grati- tude, we, the students of Ferguson, commend the Varsity Cheerleaders on a job well done. Mrs. Judy Copes was the sponsor of the Varsity Cheerleaders. 200 more spirit at Ferguson.

This year the MARINER staff worked diligently to pro- duce a volume of Ferguson his- tory and memories which the student body would enjoy. With the help of the assistant editors, (LEFT) Donna Crenshaw, Susan Tilley, and Pam Alley; the Ad- visor, the Editor, and the Busi- ness Manager were able to co- ordinate the activities of Staff A . The staff year officially began in September with the Underclassmen Picture Day. Class Editors, (ABOVE) Susan Guy, Lola Wentland, Alice Bright, Leslie Tiller, and Frances Ticknor, soon found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Mariner faces which had to be identified and alphabetized.

Long hours after school and on weekends were spent enthusias- tically approaching previous advertisers and new prospects. Mariners worked diligently with their ad sales because they knew that each ad made the annual bigger, better, and more valu- able. As the number of ads increased, so did the student interest in the superior products and courteous service of peninsula business establishments. The advertisement section of a school year- book is a link between the school and the com- munity business year. It also represents the establishment of co-operative attitudes between the school and the community. The annual staff learned a great deal from its opportunity to enter into the advertising phase of the Newport News business world. The business staff greatly appreciated the time and effort put forth by all staff members. This support contributed to the success of the ad section and to the quality of the entire annual. f support the yearbook. 209 The Spring play, The Curious Savage, under the di- rection of Miss Miriam Tate, was held April 1 and 2.
