Returning from a summer of beach fun, carnival splender and tanning and splashing by the poolside, these students readied themselves for the year ahead. Filled with such activities as mock wedding receptions, complete with bride and groom, the year be- came ope of fun and learning. Satur- days brought a weekend of a break from school for some and a dozen cars to wash for others as they helped raise money for their clubs. But be- sides outside fun, the students of Ferguson made it a year of fun within.

Sponsored by Campus Life, Inter- national, the Ferguson-Warwick club met at the homes of members who were willing to relinquish them to zealous kids raring to take part in whatever was planned. Ranging from amusing skits to pie in the face tricks, the activities were an added incentive for membership. Although there was no set membership, people who went for three straight meetings were given a card and a ten dollar discount on any Campus Life sponsored trip. The meetings were open to anyone who wanted to attend. With subjects ranging from mar- riage and sex, to peer group influence and the problems of becoming an adult, the Campus Life staff tried to help the students present to know more about themselves and their ideals. Students were given a chance to freely share their views on the subjects be- ing discussed. Kicking off the 1975-76 Campus Life year, the club sponsored a Burger Bash at Huntington Park. Later in the year, they also sponsored monthly skating parties at Denbigh Plaza Roller Rink. Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania was the destination as students from various area high schools excitedly packed themselves and their luggage into the five chartered buses. On December 27, the buses started the trip that would take the thrilled people to a fun-filled week in the snowcapped mountains. This was just one of the trips sponsored by Campus Life. An- other trip planned for the schools was to Disney World, Florida in June. 13 Student Life A series of ups and downs highlighted the 1975-76 sports season. With the loss ofthe Julian Rice Trophy, the yeargot off to a bad start. Also, in football, it was the first time the team had finished below third place , having to settle for fourth. But that wasnot thepace for the year. With the girls ' basketball team winning the district title and going to regionals, the year began to suddenly be a series of ups. The boys ' basketball teams did just as well. Junior Var- sity won the championship with a 19-1-0 year, set- ting a record in the history of Ferguson and within the school system . Varsity Basketball out- did itself by tieing for first, but after a de-_ feat by Hampton High MBj’is53|| fc School had to settle for second. Although they did not wear the district crown, the team played in the second game of the Regional Tournaments only to be defeated by Booker T. Washington by one in a battle to the finish. All in all the 1975-76 sports season proved to be one of good sportsmanship and winning teams. Volleyball Big Hit; JVTeam Gains Experience Co-ed volleyball became a hit with both the faculty and the student body. When the plan was initially intro- duced by assistant principal Tim Walter and activities director Ever- ette Hicks, many of the students were only mildly enthusuastic but, as the season grew nearer, the teams grew in number to twenty-two. The teams were composed independently by in- terested participants with their own elected captains. Each game was played at an assigned time in either the boys’ or girls’ gym. At the end of the season the top four teams com- peted for the championship. Because of its newness in strengthening stu- dent-teacher relationship, it received publicity in the Virginia School Journal. “The team’s record wasn’t too im- pressive,” said Coach Bill Robbins, “but the players did gain experience and some improved greatly.” Steve Tapscott started slow with some er- rors at first base but really came through at season’s end. Hard slugger Tom Hayes was a batting asset on a team filled with bunting pros Mike Barberry, Neil Coffey, Pat Kirk, and Bill Wash. Pitching were Steve Tap- scott, Ricky Updike, Neil Coffey and Ed Blair who was better overall with a 3.14 earned run average and a two win, one loss record. Ronnie Gardner demonstrated speed as the key to rightfielding. Leftfielder Bill Wash and shortstop Tim Blowe also showed skill with the glove. The season ended with a 4-11-0 record and an experi- enced team ready for the upcoming year. Volleyball. Front Row: Maria Williams, Marie Ivey, Sandra Terry, Susan Richard- son.

Because they were the defending district champions, their final record was hard to take. Ferguson finished their season with four wins and sixteen losses. First year as varsity baseball coach, Coach George Walters worked with the team with the assist- ance of Mr. Larry Knight. Errors made by the team often caused the loss of a game by a single run or as many as ten runs. The pitching staff was not at its peak either after the graduation of Dennis Monteith. Nugg et Crocker, after staying away for personal reasons, rejoined the team mid-season and helped out the pitching staff. Bat- girls Kay Hancock and Kathy Deazley helped out by chasing bats and balls and supplied the team with plenty of bubble gum. Spirits were always high whether a game brought a win or loss to the Mariner baseball team.

Despite a slow regular sea- son start, the team finished with a 4-5 record. At district tournament, the Mariner team placed second behind Denbigh. The team placed fourth in regional competition, highest of any other Peninsula district team. Missing fifth and sixth periods for early games always meant extra work for the golf team members. School- work, in addition to regular practices and games, plagued these seldom- recognized Mariner competitors. Coach Hott anticipated a strong team for next year with four experi- enced seniors and two new players from NNIS — Kenney King and Jim Barner. Despite injuries to some players, the tennis team managed to capture Golf Team. Front Row: Jon Spielberger, Kevin King, Kenny King.

Ferguson remained the only mixed team in the district with four girls out of fourteen members. The team practiced from 3:30 to 6:30 daily to face the tough competi- tion presented by other schools. With his strong serve and high scores, John Clayton held first place in team rank. Though he had not participated in school competition for over a year, Chris Ford ranked a suprising second. Plagued by an automobile accident and foot injury, Kasey Hughes, third place holder, was unable to play the full season and was replaced by ninth grader Russel Nevins. Fourth and fifth place holders Sarah Clayton and Rex Ware helped the tennis team win many a victory through their steady base line and net plays. With a precise stroke, Bill Swain chips his ball onto the green. 20 Sports — Spring Calculating the force needed, Jon Spielberger prepares to sink a putt. Tennis.

Get set. BANG!” These sounds became fa- miliar to the girls who participated in girls’ track. The team lost all meets until the end when they triumphed over winless Tabb. Girls’ track expanded to include mile and mile-relay events. By the help of Marilyn “Smooch” Watkins, cap- tain, Ferguson possessed an almost undefeated 440-relay team. But be- cause Marilyn hurt her knee in a fall in the long jump, Bethel came through with a win over the squad. Also because of her misfortune, she could not run at the District meet, which so handicapped Ferguson that they came in last place. Only one girl, Karen Copeman, was eligible for the Regionals by placing third in the mile.

Tracksters Overcome Obstacles Graduation Hinders Team They did it again! Mariners put together some twenty-odd men and came up with another championship outdoor track team. There were more record-breaking times in 100 and 220 yard dashes by Derwin Harrison and long and triple jumps by Carney Per- kins, also excelling in the 530 inter- mediate hurdles. Mike Ellington whizzed off seconds from his dazzling distance runs, while Kiser Lewis broke school records in the shot put and discus throws. Headed for a “triple crown,” Mariner track men ran into many obstacles. One was a flagman standing on the track where he wasn’t supposed to be. The other was at the state meet held in Charlottesville, home of the Albemarle team which was alledgedly being helped by the judges. A second place win at the district meet was a good score for the cross- country team, losing only to Mechville. Two key runners from previous years were lost to graduation. This made it tougher for the cross-country team who had a fifth place win in the regionals. Ferguson’s dual place meet record ended with a record of 5-1. Leading runner was Senior, David White. 25 Spring Sports V .• • the hurdle s, Sy,vester “Peaches” Pope maintains good form H§ufr nd Mary Invitational Meet% Indoor Track Front Row: Coach Quillen, Ron Maxwell, Lewis Banks, David Dixon, Gerard Marcus Peaches Pope, Dwight Brown, Coach Bacote.

With Coach Quillen and Newport News Inter- mediate’s Coach Ted Bacote encouraging and sup- porting the boys, the team practiced day after day to beat their set times. Starting fresh with new members, the team had to work extra hard to live up to previous year’s records. Because the 74-75 team was mostly composed of seniors, this year’s team was constucted mainly of juniors and sopho- mores who were novices in Indoor Track. Although the Mariner track team was new, it succeeded with two members, Jesse Moore and Mike White, who seemed to be very promising for the coming years. They both gained city status as Jesse placed first in shot put and Mike placed second in the two mile run. To many people’s amazement, Indoor Track is not completely all indoor. Infact, more than half of the individual events are performed on an out- side track, rather than a rubber indoor one. Only hurdles, shot put, pole vault, long, triple, and high jump are indoor; whereas, 440, 880, 330, 1 mile, 2 mile, 600, and 1000 yard runs are outdoors. oor Track 27 Warm-up exercises and stunts rid the tension and nervousness for Kathy Lemon as she prepares for the meet against Bethel.

Drivers, pucks, obstructions, and sticks were re-introduced as Girl’s Hockey became a once- again reality to FHS. Advised by Mrs. Virginia Masters, 18 girls retrieved the previously worn skirts and shin guards and returned the tech- niques of hockey to the school. Interested girls touched up their hockey skills and maneuvers and created a team. Because of inexperience and unfamiliarity with the sport, the girls had an unsuccessful season and placed last in district. Although the team endured many problems and defeats, they are looking forward to new horizons and a successful season for 1976-1977. Placing second in three meets, the gymnastics team was rewarded for their long hours of practice. And practice they did, every day after school and on Saturday. Coaches Pam Neal and Sylvia Walker also put in a lot of time, supporting the team. Besides excellent team competition, four girls collected ribbons in various areas. Mary “Smokey” Abner excelled on the balance beam. Julie Vaughan won a ribbon for her mat maneuvers. Linda Wallis showed excellence in bars and the horse. Lisa Wilson won ribbons in three areas: bars, beam, and the horse. 29 Field Hockey Mariner Wrestlers Place Fourth In District The Ferguson Wrestling Team survived a sickness and injury filled season to post a 7-4 record for dual meets. During the season, Ferguson set a new district scoring record with a 66-0 decision over Pheobus and lost a heart- breaker to Denbigh by 29-28. This dual meet record placed the Mariners fourth in the regular season and in good position for the District Tournament. The Tourna- ment, which was held at Warwick High School on Febru- ary 13-14, is the most important in the wrestling season because these are the final standings. Although only seven wrestlers scored points for the team, the Mariners ended up in a strong fourth place. Since six wrestlers placed fifth or better, they will advance to the Regional Tournament at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk on February 20-21. The six wrestlers and their weight classes are; David Broad, 98; Pomeroy Brinkley, 105; Garland Mosley, 112; Paul Jackson, 119; Joe Maguire, 138; Brian Jensen, 145.

Promising T earn Shows Improvement Improvement was shown by the 1975 Junior Varsity football team as compared to past year’s team. Led by Coach Cilian Harmon, the team ended with a 1-6-1 record which was com- mendable as the previous team ended their season with a 0-6-0 record. Hurt by numerous injuries, the team suffered three consecutive loses and after five struggling weeks, the injured players returned to practice. Adding to the Mariner’s strengthening defense and offense, the team was able to overcome Tabb with a 8-0 score which resulted in their first victory. Spirited with explosive powers, the baby blues went head on to meet Hampton, but hit by bad luck, the team was not able to match the mighty Crabbers and was carpeted off onto a never- ending losing streak. Although the J.V. squad placed last in the district, they proved to be promising by their impressive play against Denbigh. Because the defense was so tight, the squad was able to hold Denbigh to a 0-0 score, which proved to be their first and only tie. Coach Harmon, who believed that the team could go undefeated, stated that even though they did not become an undefeat- ed team, he was very proud of them and com- mended them.

Although most teams performed well in pleasant weather, the Varsity Football team displayed tre- mendous strength and power during rainy and windy weather. With the help of the student body’s rising spirit and involvement, the squad’s ability was not dampened but encouraged. Another unusual charac- teristic of the team was their proven ability to overcome teams that showed more of a challenge to them than others. However, injuries handicapped the team to an extent, but the squad bounced back and continued to play with an ever moving stride. Though not a winning one, the season was productive for the Varsity team. They started off as unmeshing gears and ended like a well oiled machine. Because of their final unity, the team produced three all- district players: middle linebacker, Tom Hall; offensive end, Daryll Grant; running back, David Dixon. With the help of these all-district players, the team’s of- fense moved with the superb running and the trap blocks of the offensive guards. Varsity Football.

Mariner Females Catch Male Coach Mariner females once again bounced them- selves to district playoffs. With the aid of lead- ing scorer, Susan Richardson, the team de- feated the York Falcons and became district champions for the second year in a row. Al- though they were victorious over York, they lost to Wilson High School in regional competi- tion by a meager six points. This year the girls formed a very united and durable team. They held daily practices that were long and tiresome, but proved to be an asset at games. The team’s star player was senior, Susan Richardson, who tallied up 274 points for the team. Because of her and other talented members, the girl’s basketball team concluded their season with a record of eleven wins and four loses which is commemdable to the previous year’s record. Coach George Walters was the girls first male coach. Because of his experience with the boy’s team, he proved to be very helpful to the team in ironing out their weaknesses and encouraging their strong points. Although the team acquired many strengths, Coach Walters and the girls soon found a few of their main weak spots, which were inconsistant shooting and frequent fouling. They continued to work on this which enabled them to become a much stronger team. Girl’s Basketball. Front Row: Rhowen Nichols, Sandi Pickney, Vickie Pickney, Sandra Terry, Diane Davis.

Because the 1976 team consisted of fresh and vigorous sophomores, the District Champion- ship was set as the team’s main goal for the season. Transforming these young Typhoons into Mighty Mariners, the squad ended their season with a 19-1-0 record. Because of the one upset made by Tabb, the team missed a near-perfect score of 65-63. Traveling up and down many courts, the J.V. team proved to be victorious. With four players scoring in double figures at each game, the team prevented most of their opponents from scoring above 50 points. This year the team set a record for Ferguson’s history with their excellent season and also for the Newport News Public School System. Many of the team members felt that much of the success and credit should be extended to their coach, Mr. Everette Hicks. His coaching techniques and ability to reach his team members has won him two District Championships in just two years of coaching the Mariner’s J.V. squad. They all have much respect for him and look up to him in many ways. Unguarded on the court, Vernon Alston sets up his strategy against Lafayette. JV Basketball.

Because of their small size and disadvantages in height, the team performed as a single unit, rather than as individuals thrown together to form a team. Although ranked as a low third team at the start of the season, Ferguson finished in a tie for first place with Hampton. However, the two tied teams met for a playoff dual at the Julie Conn Gym where the Hampton Crabbers defeated the Mariners with a 81-68 score and then they both proceeded to the Regional Tournament. Coach George Walters was extremely satisfied and proud of his team as they closed their 1975- 1976 season. Their team record was 18-3-0 which was commendable compared to previous year’s records. He believed by giving all you have in a winning or losing cause, you have done your job. The team gave it their best and did the job well. Through their many efforts they produced All-Distict players: Mark Crawford, Wilfred Young, Delton Ashburn. Muscles tensed for an accurate shot, Gerald Moore stands poised to raise the score.

Many times he was choosen leading scorer and player of the week. Because of his many years of experience and great knowledge of the games, Ferguson has ended its season with high placing in district. Although he has been following the footsteps of his older brother, Joe, since eighth grade, Mark has continued to strengthen his talents in basket- ball. In the eyes of many, Joe seemed to cast a shadow upon his younger brother; how- ever, that has not always been proven true. The two brothers worked as team, rather than against each other. Always standing by to help each other, they pulled the Mariner team through many close games. Separated this season when Joe went away to play college basketball, Mark remained at home, only to find himself alone on the court; minus a worthy team mate. Coming into his own, Mark has found himself independent of Joe and developed himself into a well rounded player with much success and achievement. Although Mark will be missed in the coming years, he has added his skills and talent to the Mariner heritage.

Personifying a big brother is the way I can describe WILLIAM HENRI SELDEN .” said Cynthia Cofield. Bill Selden belonged to the Kappa League, where he served as secretary of the League. Bill also represented Ferguson at Boy’s State. “He is a loyal friend,” commented Barbara McWilliams. Someone whom you can trust.” SCA Kicks-Off With Sophomores “Oh, boy! It’s a Tim-in-the Box!” Surprised sophomores heard this on the auditorium stage as students de- picted Toys for Tots time. Sopho- mores had an even bigger surprise when the Tim-in-the-Box suddenly jumped up and presented SCA presi- dent Kathy McMullen with a refresh- ing splash. Toys for Tots was only one of the activities which Student Coun- cil Association members showed sophs during Orientation Day, which was the kick-off for the 1975-76 SCA year. Placing guides around the school during the opening week aided new incoming students to find their way around strange and different surroundings. With successful Homecoming and Spring Week projects to the school, the SCA provided service to the com- munity during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Canned goods were col- lected for needy families at Thanks- giving, and to help boost support, class competition was used. As Christ- mas rolled around, projects such as Toys for Tots and elementary school parties headed the list of activities. Getting Bill Selden and Scooter John- son to dress in Santa Claus suits and other SCA Congress members to dress as elves, helped make the feeling of Christmas more real to kindergarten and first grade students. Club com- petition was an added incentive to the collection of toys. Two clubs would challenge each other and the loser would supply the winning club with a Christmas party. With exams over, the After Exam Jam helped students relax after a long week of brainwork. Zebra provided the beat as students boogied to mod- ern sounds. This set the pace for new second semester projects such as SCA elections and and Installation Banquet for new officers. SCA Exec. Bd.

They worked in concession stands during the district and regional foot- ball games selling refreshments. Cut- ting coasters out of carpet and selling tickets to the Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt were some of the many ways for raising finances for the club. Participating in many service pro- jects, they greeted the residents of Baptist homes on the first Sunday of each month. They also helped finance the Boys’ Home in Gloucester and helped the Keyettes paint the baseball bleachers for the school. The newly elected Lt. Governor of the district, Steve Grimstead, helped the Ferguson Key Club expand and modernize itself. He attended con- ventions at Norfolk, Va., New Orleans, La., and Baltimore, Md., to learn new procedures for Key Club activities. “We have the largest club in the district, and the most active,” com- mented Ms. Belinda Fluty, Keyette advisor. The Ferguson club, sponsored by the Newport News Senior Women’s Club, proved this fact. Not only did they have the largst attendance at district meetings, but they were the only club in the district to gain more than the required number of points. The club was made up of 86 juniors and seniors who had earned a 2.5 average from previous semesters at Ferguson. These active girls proved the meaning of Keyettes through their many service projects. The October project was Back to School Night. They served as guides and sold baked goods to parents. For the community, they assisted in inflating balloons for the launching of the USS Eisenhower, but they didn’t stop there. The girls painted the baseball bleachers along with the Key Club. Other community projects included cleaning Todd Sta- dium, preparing food for two needy families, and collected coloring books for the pediatrics ward of Riverside Hospital. Confetti was sold at all home football games. December school pro- jects were repairing the school sign and clock. For the community, the Keyettes collected 194 Toys for Tots and contributed to the Daily Press Christmas Fund. Second semester projects included entertaining at nearby nursing homes, participating in the Special Olympics, organizing a Celebrity Auction, and providing recreation for senior citizens. Each year, the AFS exchange student is an honorary Keyette. This year the honor went to Nil Penen. As a special favor, the club purchased her class ring. Key Club.

The service group, made up of students selected for mem- bership by the faculty, represented Ferguson’s finest in academic ability, character, service and leadership. Tutoring students after school, NHS members shared their strengths with students who needed the benefit of their stronger brother’s skills and insights in math, English, science and foreign languages. In a morning candlelight ceremony 19 seniors were tapped for membership in December. Sweeping from the stage in blue satin robes, NHS members hurried into the audience to escort new members to the stage to light their candle as Mr. Tim Walter read their accomplishments to the school. Juniors were selected and inducted in a similar ceremony in the spring. Each initiate had attained at least a 3.0 grade average and had outstanding character, leadership and service recommendations. Parents and friends greeted and congratulated new members at the traditional reception held in the library following the ceremony. Oranges and grapefruits were sold by the group in November to finance service projects for the school. Fifteen members volunteered to collect for the heart association in February. The group canvassed the Wentworth Apart- ments, raising $15.00 for the cause on a beautiful spring like day. Service to the school and to the community were provided by Students for Action in Education (SAE). Cloth- ing for needy children in Newport News was collected by the group and dis- tributed by the Phyllis Wheatly Branch of the YWCA. Christmas was made joyful for patients at Partick Henry Hospital when the group visited them and gave a Christmas party. They took refresh- ments, played games, sung carols, wrote letters and Christmas greetings for the patients and mailed them to their friends and families. The ROTC went also and did a drill team routine for the patients as a part of the program. New faculty and staff members were welcomed to Ferguson by the SAE at a reception held in their honor at the opening of school. The whole faculty was treated to a table full of homemade baked goods at a formal tea in the faculty lounge during Teacher Appreciation Week. The group also served the school by guiding parents to classrooms on back to school night. SAE.

DECA, Distributive Education Cooperative Association, identifies the program of youth activity which is designed to develop future leaders for marketing and disribution. It is the only national youth organi- zation operating through the public schools to attract young people to such careers. Through the school, DECA students found jobs in all areas of importance. Businesses favored DE students because of their interest in training, and their school study related to the business. The biggest and most exciting project involving Ferguson’s DECA club was a New York City field trip for fashion merchandising stu- dents. Four days of touring designer showrooms and the United Nations, attending a Broadway show and Radio City Music Hall were included in the itinerary. Similar to the DECA club, the Future Business Leaders of America aimed to develop competent business leadership. The FBLA club was very active this year. Such projects as sponsoring a pretty legs contest, making Valentine flowers for teachers, acting as teachers in the business classes for a week, giving candy to hospitalized children, and collecting Toys for Tots were just several of the numerous activities which the FBLA undertook. They rounded out the year by participating in Regional and State FBLA competition, and concluded the year with a spring banquet.

Future Homemakers of America, as their first project, made the uniforms to wear in meeting days, hopint it would give the club a sense of unity. “To my knowledge, this is the first year FHA has considered making a representative outfit,” said Mrs. Toni Twiford, sponsor, “I look forward to this becoming a lasting tradition.” The eighteen members met inter- mittently to discuss service and money- making projects including: a sale of cookies, baking cupcakes for teachers, working at a Christmas tea, visting the Baptist Home, a Valentine banquet for members and their guests, and a spring bake sale. Mrs. Twiford and co-sponsor Mrs. Catherine Braxton reported that the major problem facing the club was apathy. Only eight or nine girls regu- larly attended the meetings called by president Susan Williams. And because of this lack of attendance the work of the club was slowed down. One club that had no problem with lack of members was the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. All students in the Industrial Cooperative Training program were required to join VICA. The club offered a chance for members to improve leadership abilities and to exercise talents in such areas as essay writing, spelling and commercial art. Competition in these areas took place in the spring with awards given to the winners who then went on to district, state, and regional finals. In order to send members to finals, the VICA club raised money by selling candy and candles, and by collecting dues. These funds also went for a year-end banquet where ICT students invited their employers for an evening of food and fellowship. FHA.

School Attended Sharing American culture and learn- ing to live as family members in other cultures, AFS members traveled and hosted visitors. Carol Rhodes (’75) spent the year living with a family in Spain on an AFS program and Ryan Monroe and Randi Cutler were ac- cepted for exchange programs to begin at the end of the school year. Nil Pennen lived with the family of Mitzi and Terry Garner and the family of Elizabeth Stanton. Nil’s year at Ferguson taught her much about life in the United States, and also taught all of her friends many things about life in Nil’s home, Belgium. A car wash was held to raise money to sponsor club activities such as the International Weekend during the 12-15 of February. Twelve exchange students from other schools in the area spent the weekend with Ferguson students. There was a banquet Thurs- day, Feb. 12, for AFS students and adult chapters, Friday they attended a Mariner basketball game, Saturday they toured NASA, picnicked in the Museum park, and went to the Miss Mariner Contest. The chapter participated in a short term exchange program with an AFS chapter in Delaware in the spring. The purpose of the exchange was to explore regional differences in culture, even within their own country. Wrapped in white sheets, they were convinced looked just like Roman togas, Latin Club members gathered in the teacher’s cafeteria after school for a Saturnalia. The Roman cele- bration consisted of eating fruit, cake, punch and Italian cookies brought by members. They played games, made paper hats to wear, sang songs and told jokes. Pennants and crates of fruit were sold to raise money for club activities. Latin Club. Front Row: Carol Stover, Leigh Goodwin, Edie McAvoy, Bill Swain, Laurie Drucker, Lisa McAvoy.

AFS 59 French, Spanish Eat At Int’l Feast French culture came to life for french club members who learned more about French foods through tasting experiences and a cooking demonstration. La Crepe Restaurant in Coliseum Mall was the place where club members gathered to sample foods cooked with a French flair. The group had it’s own bread and cheese tasting party and at another party there was demonstrated the art of making crepes. Christmas was a gala event for the members who gathered in the school cafeteria for for a covered dish dinner. Participation was the key. The treas- ury broke $100 for the first time in the club’s history. Contributing to Fine Arts Week a display was set up on the second floor of the old building. Topping off the year was an International Banquet in March. Mexican and Latin dishes of chili and other foods brought by Spanish club members to their Christmas party. After eating, the group shared the Spanish tradition of pinata break- ing. Numerous members scrambled to the floor as the stashed candy toppled out of the homemade pinata. Donuts were sold and the group earned $50 for for the club treasury. They used part of the money and donations collected from other clubs and students to send a contribution for relief victims of the earthquake in Guatamala. Lunch at a Mexican Restaurant was a field trip type out- ing for the group.

Paper Opens JAWS; Helm Backs Contest Do you know what happened around school? You should have read the WINDJAMMER which was circulated several times this year. The newspaper was put together in a magazine format by its six senior staff members. The members gathered the latest news, wrote and edited stories, put together pages, printed photos and had the paper printed by the business depart- ment. They presented a variety of articles that appealed to students, including features and special events. The paper kept the student body informed of Mariner news. Editorials attempted to influence student opin- ions. With a BOOM in shark movies the newspaper did a feature on JAWS. School funds and sale of ads aided in the production of the paper. For the first time the WINDJAM- MER had its own photographer, sopho- more Ray Highsmith, which sponsor Mrs. Wilhelmina Santiful said made her especially happy. The Helm was published in the fall and again in the spring. The magazine contained student writing, art work, and photography. Staff members worked to assemble the magazine which was typed and printed by the business department. A creative writing contest was given which recognized students for outstanding writing. The magazine gave students who enjoyed writing a great chance to be recognized. Helm 63 Witches Burn For Musical Although few students realized it, the art of drama was present in a big way. Headed by Miss Patricia Quinn, the department concentrated more on getting the job done right than on just getting the job done. Most students saw drama as one or two plays put on during the year. But to the participants it was a full time job. Rehearsals for a single show ran every night for up to two months. Sets had to be assembled, lights ad- justed and replaced, costumes made, and sounds reproduced. To these stu- dents, carrying the load of school work and other responsibilities in addition to drama was sometimes next to impossible. The frustrations of the week before opening night would discourage most people, as many students realized when working with “The Crucible.” “The Crucible”, set in the Puritan Era was an reenact- ment of the Salem witch trials. Over eighty people were involved in the historical play. “The Crucible” was presented in order to make money for the musical which was presented in the spring.

Thespians is an international honor society for drama that only 10% of the clubs participants could get into. To obtain this honor one must have had 100 hours of hard work that dealt with on stage or backstage participation. The Apprentice Society of Thespians was for the students who had obtained 100 hours of work but the hours were not outstanding. They were then given a year to prove themselves worthy of the honor. Over the period of four years, only 43 students became full fledgded Thespians. , “Act well your part for there all the honor lies.” “There are no small parts only small actions.” The attendence of the Art Club sky- rocketed following the first meeting which was brought to a start with refreshments and a social gathering. Sponsor Mrs. Dorothy Edwards gave students every other Wednesday a chance to express their artistic ability. Creative posters were prepared for games and the learning of new ideas such as cartoons, pastels, paper mache and clay were expressed at each meeting. Thespians.

Catch him b efore he escapes and dashes into one of the holes in the floor!” shrieked one of the science clubbers, as a gerbil fled from his cage and scurried across a lab table. The science club was composed of thirty future scientists working on individual projects such as making green houses, studying plant life and researching atoms and the composition of the atmosphere. “Most of the students were interested in group projects such as the work with ecology and the building of bird feeders. They weren’t afraid of work,” remarked Mrs. Betty Sharpe, science clud sponsor. To further their knowledge, some members attended the Virginia Junior Academy of Science in Fairfax, Va., for the annual presentation of awards for the display and quality of science projects. The math club also involved itself in various projects. The new sponsor, Mrs. Rebecca Robbins, worked hard to introduce programs of interest for all. Each meeting, a different topic per- taining to mathematics was discussed. Mrs. Janet Drewry, a math teacher, took charge of the program in which the club was taught the how and why of the Fibonacci members. Charlie Brown shared his knowledge of prime numbers which concluded with an explanation of how computers can be programmed to test various mathematical hypothesis and formulas. The club was also in- volved in projects such as the Math Contest which was held in March, and the induction of its members into Mu Alpha Theta, a math honor society. Math Club.

These are two of the many terms in chess to describe the positions on the board. Concen- tration and strategy were definitely important. The chess club constantly strived to improve their techniques. Traveling around the peninsula, the team competed against other area high schools. A six member team was picked to represent Ferguson in the Peninsula High School Chess League. Even though the team tried very hard, they finished the season with a 3-1-5 record. Charles Brown, president of the club and number one on the team, looked forward to next year opti- mistically. “Except for a few close loses we could have had a much better record, but everyone on the team this year will also be here next year and we are looking forward to it.” stated Charles Brown. Electronic music was produced by the computer club when they pro- grammed one of their brain-machines to play a melody. The members were excited when one of their computers, donated by Digital Computer Controls Corp., was exchanged for a similar model with four times the memory that was able to compute the more complicated program. New members of the club were instructed on the basics of the computer by their sponsor, Mr. Robert Ackerman. Many soon found themselves exploring more and more into the complex systems. To expand ideas for the machines the club built, the computer club planned a trip to the National Computer Con- ference in New York, during the month of June. Club members felt that com- puters are the wave of the future. Computer Club. Front Row: Darlene Williams, Patti Bryant. Second Row: David Yamaki, Jack Young, Charles Brown.

Little Known ‘Sport’ Sends Two T o State A carefully dressed young man walks slowly toward the podium. A crowd of hundreds uneasily holds its breath in anticipation. Will he make it? Yes. He’s there feet spread apart, with two sheets of typed paper in his hands. He’s opening his mouth! He’s begun. The judges sit in fixed awe, and the crowd can hardly contain itself. There is sure to be victory! The young man finishes, and the crowd applauds loudly. Then the win- ner is announced and the name is his! He bows to the audience which is now on its feet, wildly applauding. Did you miss this exciting Ferguson sport event? Yes, you and everyone else did. There really weren’t any crowds, cheering or otherwise. This scene was all a dream in the mind of a forensics participant. Forensics is the lonely, solitary sport where individuals speak and write in competition. One person stands alone, facing several judges. Only one boy and one girl compete in each area: poetry, prose, original oratory, ex- temperaneous speaking, and spelling. Contestants are not judged as much for speed and dexterity as they are for their poise, voice qualities, and expressions. Under the guidence of Mrs. Joyce Ballard, last year’s team gained a third place standing in the district. In addition, two members, Dorothy Harrell, and Steve Grimstead, went to state competition in Charlottes- ville. However, this year’s team, plagued by transportation problems and lack of time, did not do so well. Only one member placed in competition, Steve Grimstead, with his speech in “Death With Dignity”, won first place in the district, second in regionals, and went on to state again. Despite the lack of winners, the team gained valuable experience which will aid in next year’s com- petition, as well as in opportunities to spread in future years. Students Find A Third Way Out For students faced with the choice of taking an elective class or a study hall, many found a third way out by volunteering their services as office assistants. In the main office, assistants took messages to classrooms, stuffed mes- sages into teachers’ mailboxes, helped with clerical duties, and helped Mr. Tim Walter with student activity programs. Attendance office assistants worked for Miss Teresa Eidson, attendance secretary. They delivered office request slips to students, picked up attendance cards, answered the phone, registered tardy students, and helped distribute lunch tickets. “Please sit down and fill out this ap- pointment slip. Your counselor will see you when she can,” said guidance as- sistants as they greeted students trying to see their counselors. They also filed daily attendance records and ran errands.

Members planned to attend local performances of guitar groups together and invited guests to perform at. their meetings. Club president Kim Herron led the musicians through their organizational period with an emphasis on publicity to build interest in the club. They played during Ferguson’s Fine Arts Festival and were sponsored by guitar teacher, Miss Cathy Lightcap. Individualized instruction is important in learning how to play a strings instru- ment. Mr. James Herbison gave personal aid, two days a week to each of the five students enrolled in the strings class. The purpose of the class was to prepare stu- dents for try-outs in All City Orchestra, Regional String Orchestra, and the All Virginia Orchestra. Guitar Club.

PR Group Sings Unclothed A clean sweep was made by the Madrigals as they competed f or re- gional chorus, with Linda Maquire receiving the highest alto score in the competition. The much honored Madrigals were Ferguson’s public relations group from the music de- partment, with its members chosen from the highly qualified A’Cappella Choir. Impressed with the Mardigals, New- port News Mayor Harry Atkins wrote personal notes of appreciation and commendation to Mr. Cox, the Madri- gals, and Ms. Cheryl Brown, sponsor of the singers. Bringing youthful joy and zest in over 40 performances they sang for civic groups and at local churches, as well at the SCA’s Christmas party for elementary school children. They also conducted a seminar on proper vowel sounds at York Elementary School, and participated in the Fer- guson Christmas and Spring Concerts. Unlike several Newport News high schools singing groups which had cos- tumes to wear, Ferguson’s group be- decked their “Sunday best” because there had been no funds available to outfit all of them. Madrigal member Danny Crute said “We don’t mind its a good way to get new clothes.” Competiton for membership in Madrigals and A’Cappella was tough. Students had to take a written examin- ation on music theory and do a sight reading solo before the entire group. “Its really scary, because you feel so inadequate. You know everyone else is so good, commented Joyce Nocera, A’Cappella member. 79 Madrigals Superior Rating Marks Band’s Year Concerts and competitions filled the year for the Mariner Band. Beginning with performances at all home football games, the band represented the school in some way almost every week. Formal concerts were given at Christmas and in the spring. Informal presentations were done during Fine Arts Week and in an assembly for Newport News Inter- mediate School. The band competed against all other bands in the district at the District Band Festival in the spring. Three members earned positions in the Regional Band: Jeff Cowan and John Lawson, trombonists; and Peter Smith, trumpeter. The trombonists scored high enough to be eligible to tryout for the All Virginia Band. Smaller groups of Mariner Band members participated as the Pep Band and Stage Band. The Stage Band, com- posed of instruments which are used to produce dance music, earned a “superior” rating in the Stage Band Festival. They performed at a pep rally for the basketball team, playing rock and soul music. The noisiest instru- ments were chosen for the Pep Band which played at pep rallies to build Mariner spirit. Band members also participated in the Solo and Ensemble Festival where they were judged rather than competing against other schools. A new tuner was purchased for the band. The electronic equipment listens to an instrument and reports on the quality of sound it is producing. It helped to keep band instruments pro- ducing listenable music. There were no parades this year, most of them were stopped because of last year’s fuel shortage, according to Mr. Wray Harring, Band Director. However, he expected the band will be invited to participate in some for our Bicentennial Celebration, July 4. 80 Band The hot sun is endured by Terrance Palmer and other band members as they prepare to march at home football games.

Pep, Varsity Clubs Stimulate Spirit Support Sports Together with the cheerleaders, members of the pep club helped stimu- late spirit. For the first time in many years, 40 girls organized a pep club on their own and it became a vital part of the school. Hand-made Colum- bia blue and white jumpsuits com- posed the members attire. Aside from the most spirited class contest, the club ran a bus to the Regional Basketball Tournament in March. Sellinh snacks and cokes at basket- ball games supplied the varsity club with a means to support school sports. The only requirement for membership was to have earned a letter in a sport. Sponsor, coach Don Coccoli said, “The varsity club is a very informal money- making organization that supports school sports.” Meetings were held only when necessary. Pep Club New Uniforms, New Style “Get, get, get, get-on up” was the J.V. cheerleaders cry to encourage Fergu- son’s spirit at games and pep assem- blies. Sporting new jumpsuits, which they bought with money earned form selling stationery, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders displayed exceptional talent at pep rallies and football games. At camp last summer they showed their style and walked away with two superior and excellent ratings, and of course the spirit stick which was shared with the varsity cheerleaders. Mrs. Besty Redman, sponsor, said “They’re the greatest, but there’s always room or improvement.” With twirling batons and flashy white boots, the majorettes marched out onto the football field to show off their new uniforms. Mrs. Jocelyn Archer, their sponsor said, “I feel that they are an understanding group of young ladies that have learned to communicate. I have learned through them that if you give love freely you will receive.” J.V. Cheerleaders. Front Row: Pam Braswell, Co-captain Valery Harvey, Lorri Weinstein, June Salasky, Kim McKee.

The 20 girls marched out with knowledge-filled heads from the previous summer. With new routines and pom pons in hand, the team performed diligently in hopes of a successful season. As the dance came to an end, the girls marched off in relief, but ready to prepare for the next dance that took long hours of practice to reach perfection. During the early summer of ’75, the undiscovered team set out to raise money to go to camp. They participated in a week long Golden Eagle Pom Pon and Drill Camp which took place in Raleigh, North Carolina. The girls were taught eight routines which they per- formed throughout the year. They also attended several clinics in the camp Although shy and reluctant ) Audrey Jones peps up the Fergie fans during the Homecoming Pep Rally. which taught them important tips that they should use while performing. The team showed much improvement. They won one honorable mention ribbon, two superior ribbons, a superior ribbon for a novelty contest, “Kung-Fu Fight- ing”, and a first place trophy for ability. The 75-76 team then set out to buy new uniforms. After camp, the girls’ alarm clocks were waking them at 4:00 a.m. in order for them to sell 500 dozen doughnuts at th e shipyard. They lib- erated themselves from the ancient uniforms and wore their more modern ones. Attaining new uniforms, styles, and performing new dances, the Drill Team was able to join the other entertaining groups and take on new directions to perfection.

Pep assemblies were kicked off with an even greater blast. For the first time, the squad was required to participate in a National Cheerleading Camp at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. They brought new and different cheers back to Mariner Country. The team won six superior and two excellent ribbons, and one spirit stick. The Varsity team continued to pro- mote spirit throughout the year by giving spirit sticks and selling spirit boosters.

It had not rained all week, but on graduation night it poured. Al- though seniors were only allowed four invitations, other watched the exercises by video-tape in the cafeteria. The Mariner Band, A Capella Choir, and the class speakers, each helped carry out the program, but the award- ing of diplomas was the highlight of the night. Proud seniors stepped up to receive their long awaited diplomas, with memories of their high school days, and plans for partying afterwards. Caps flew high as the graduates of 1975 were announced and the enthusiasm could be felt by all. Graduation brought a new meaning to the class theme, “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.” For the Class of ’75 realized there were many seasons and time to face in the future. “Where’s the prom being held? The Sheraton? The Coliseum?” This ques- tion ran through the minds of many seniors. With the original plans for the Sheraton, the class council later re- scheduled the prom to be held at the Hampton Roads Coliseum. Enthused by the relocation, seniors also looked forward to the sounds of Sandcastle. This band also played at President Gerald Ford’s daughter’s prom at the White House the following night. All the plans were made and May 29th finally arrived. Couples filled the Coliseum to enact the class song, “We May Never Pass This Way Again.” Despite the size of the Coliseum, the fun and excite- ment of the Senior Prom extended throughout the night. Senior class president, Barry Hayes made a presen- tation to Ms. Deborah Carroll, class sponsor, for her services during the year. Emotions could be felt in the hearts of all as the memories of the year and the night folded. At twelve, tired seniors left, knowing they would never pass that way again. ousted, Allison Scott and Steve Woessner take fit ler take a rest. First Win In 3 Years Banners, lights, flowers, and sparkling eyes filled Todd Stadium’s stands as the start of the 1975 Home- coming game was about to begin. The Mariner band paraded around the stadium in preparation for the game, and then returned to the home side where they supplied fans with spirited music. The Homecoming Court sat with their escorts, awaiting the final moment until one of the five senior princesses would be crowned queen. Quickly, the pare nts, alumni, faculty, students and other Mariner boosters filled the stands and the game was on its way to a good start. Although Lafayette was known as being victorious over Ferguson for the past three years, the Varsity team did not let this winning streak overcome them. They kept the game very close until Lafayette’s men broke it open with a touchdown. The score was 0-6, because Lafayette failed an attempt at an extra point. Then the Mariners rebounded with a touchdown which was achieved by a completed pass from Willie Bell to Tom Hall. Holding the Rams off to the game’s finale, the Varsity team presented the Mariners with their first win over Lafayette. Mixed emotions are pfesent as Leslie Landis Homecoming Queen. Insert ' Excitement is port gratulated by Mr. William Cox and KlWhy McMull Homecoming ‘ Never Forget Homecoming ’ 75 After all the excitement of Home- coming was over, members of the court took time to express their feelings. “There are so many words that could express how I felt when being chosen on the Homecoming Court, but the one word I felt is honored. I was so ex- cited and felt so good to be able ot rep- resent the senior class. I will never for- get the happy moment, and the pre- cious memories Ferguson High School has given me.” — Kasey Hughes “When I received the telephone call from Mr. Walter, all I could say was, ‘OK. ’Bye.’ I guess he thought that I was crazy. Then I told my mother and began to cry.” — Cheryl Green “Homecoming to me, has always been the highlight of the school year. Therefore, I felt proud, happy, and mostly honored to be a part of the Homecoming Court.” — Cindy Burden “I was very thrilled and surprised when I was called and told about the good news. I wish to thank everyone who helped me to become a finalist on the 1975 Homecoming Court. It was a great honor.” — Ivey Peoples “I was thrilled at being selected as Ferguson’s 1975 Homecoming Queen. Hearing my name announced was one of the greatest moments I can remem- ber. I don’t even remember the second half of the game. It was a weekend I will never forget. I would like to thank the SCA for a wonderful time.” Leslie Landis, Queen Homecoming 97 Sophmores, juniors, and seniors pre- sented the homecoming court with skits and the Mariner band. Excitement and envy fell over the auditorium as Elizabeth Wallis and Bill Selden intro- duced the 1975 Homecoming Court. Candidates were escorted down the aisle by members of the football team. The sophomore choices were Valerie Harvey and Cheryl Green. Represent- ing the juniors were Teresa Savvas, Monette Dutch, and Tracey Hixson. As a result of there being a tie, there were five seniors on the homecoming court. The girls were Cindy Burden, Kasey Hughes, Jannelle Diggs, Ivey Peoples, and Leslie Landis. Members on the court were elected by classrooms. The queen was announced at the home- coming game between Lafayette and Ferguson. With another Homecoming game victory, Marines ended a week of festivites with a dance on Saturday, October 25. Boogieing to the music of the Prophets, students, faculty, and returing alumni danced the night away with memories of all the activities which led up to that moment. The court was presented for the last time and danced a solo to “Colour My World”. When 11:30 came about, couples pre- pared to depart into the cool autumn night at the end of another memorable evening in their life at Ferguson.

Anxious couples formed a line leading to the giant ring where they placed each others’ rings on their fingers and kissed under the mistletoe. Food and drinks were served in the senior cafeteria to juniors wanting to refresh themselves. Willing seniors doled out punch, cookies, and cake, which they carved into a “76.” Rings were turned in the good-luck tradition and dancing continued until midnight, concluding a December 13 the class of ’77 will long remember. A dimly lit cafeteria sets the stage for a romantic evening as couples dance to celebrate the arrival of their class rings. c A B A R E T “Come to the Cabaret” was the theme and February 14 was the date, as seventeen beautiful girls parti- cipated in the 1976 Miss Mariner Pageant, sponsored by the senior class. After a week of strenuous re- hearsals, the seventeen candidates prepared them- selves for the opening night and the long awaited moment of the crowning. To start the program off, Miss Mariner 1975, Becky Patton, sang the theme song as members of the Peninsula Civic Ballet assisted in the opening number. As the curtain opened, each girl strolled gracefully toward the microphone, stated her name and the club or group she was representing. At the same time of the introductions, each contestant showed her taste in clothing as she modeled her casual wear and accessories from Leggett’s. While the candidates were still on stage, Dee Dee Scott was chosen Miss Congeniality. This honor was be- stowed on her by the rest of the girls, because they felt she was the easiest person to work with through the week of chaotic rehearsals. Ranging from comedy sketches to piano solos, the talent portion of the show proved to be good entertainment for an audience of varying tastes. Each girl used her talent to captivate the audience as well as the judges, in her own original method. In tribute to the Bicentennial, the contestants modeled evening gowns of either red, white or blue tones during the formal wear competition. Escorted by Bill Selden and Bill Swain, each girl became the center of attention in her formal apparel. With all the competition completed, everyone in attendance impatiently waited for the crowning of Miss Mariner 1976. As a result of the judges’ tally- ing, Pam Smith, who represented the senior class, was crowned Miss Mariner, with runners-up 1-4 being Alexis Brown, Jean White, Teri Price, and Teresa Savvas.

He also added that students in his electricity classes usually have a “shocking experience.” The industrial art classes were really on the move. Mr. Paul Lambine’s wood shop classes made a work shop for their tools and their equipment. Mr. Ulysses Turner’s students learned the funda- mentals of general metals and drafting, which he also feels are very important in later life. Electricity classes built projects that involved tube testers, radio receptors and electric shockers under the instruction of Mr. Hale. They also designed a pencil that writes on metal. He hopes that he will be able to interest more girls in taking industrial arts. Semester long classes and the study of child development were added to the home economics department. Tasting parties followed each cooking lab and formal and informal buffets were planned as class projects. Students learned how to give children’s parties and to practice all they had learned about entertaining, with a tea given for the faculty during the Christmas season. Boys and girls studied how to plan meals, cook, and make their own clothing. Home Ec. Programmed T ests Teach Language “SRA Reading Lab today students . . English reading improvement? No, French taught in the same way through SRA labs prepared originally for use in French speaking Canadian schools. Ferguson was given the lab to use in a pilot project. Now, along with the nine other participating schools, Ferguson High School’s name is listed on the kit as a school which participated in the pilot project. Through this French Lab, pro- grammed tests in Latin classes, and individual assignments in German and Spanish, foreign language in- struction was paced to meet the ability of each student. Cultural background was learned through films, field trips and parties. Five Ferguson students went to France April 16-25 with Mr. Sam Sykes, Foreign Language Department Chair- man. It was the third time he sponsored a spring vacation trip to France. The group included 13 other Newport News students and visited Normandy, Brittainy and Paris. 108 Foreign Language 109 Foreign Language Give Your Mind Something To Chew On With emphasis on composition, Eng- lish students worked to improve their ability to communicate through read- ing, writing, and speaking. Mrs. Barbara Raines, the new de- partment chairman, explained that there are many elective courses related to English. Among there are World Literature, Advanced Composition, Reading Improvement, Creative Writ- ing, Mass Media, and Advanced Place- ment English. Students in Creative Writing were able to express their feelings through writing. In Advanced Placement, stu- dents studied English in greater depth. Writing skills and literary analysis were emphasized. Mass Media was a new course this year. The class was very active putting on a slide show for the Annual Staff to help sell yearbooks and producing a radio show which was on every other month for a half-hour on WVEC. An afternoon playhouse was begun by the second year drama class. These short plays were done as a class pro- ject every six weeks to raise money for drama equipment. “Give your mind something to chew on,” was the theme for the library, and service to the students and teachers was their aim. The library obtained audio visual materials with emphasis on reference. Increased circulation pleased head librarian, Mrs. Helen Turner. She said it showed that the students were using the library as they should. During “Fine Arts Week”, art exhibits and concerts brought excitement to the library. Miss Janice Jaquet, assistant librarian, and Mrs. Linda Stallings, clerk, had 70 library assistants to help check out books, keep the shelves in order, and distribute films and audio visual material. 110 English — Library Library Assistants.

This course was also taught to students who had difficulty in general biology. Smaller classes gave Mr. Alston more time for each student. New Physics books were added to the department. Reference and supple- mental books were placed in the library for student use. An award was given to the most outstanding senior science student by Bausch and Lomb. It was a science medal which made winners elligible to apply for Bausch and Lomb Scholarships at the University of Rochester. Another award was given to the student with the highest grade average with projects and participation included. This year there was a greater interest in chemistry. Advanced chemistry had more students per class than before. For students interested in a medical career, genetics was offered second semester with emphasis on the fruit- fly. Science Large Groups Impressive; Math Courses Multiply “Every year the Choir improves in size and quality,” said Ms. Cheryl Brown the Choir instructor. Ms. Brown’s A Capella and Madrigal Choirs participated in regional choir in the spring. Two hundred students from Newport News schools were selected to sing at the regional workshop. They also prepared to compete in the na- tionals in Washington, D.C. “Every year the choir is getting better and new students coming in bring new talent,” Ms. Brown said. Your heart pounded as the blue uniformed ranks of the Mariner March- ing Band stormed onto the field. The drum major, Bernard Knight, led the even rows of humming instruments from the shining flutes to the massive tubas and everything in between. Mr. Wray Herring, directed the band and was the head of the music department. Band gave the students knowledge of brass, woodwinds, and percussion in- struments. “I wish there were more students to work with. If we had a larger group to choose from, we could be more selective.” Mr. Herring said about the band program. Picking, strumming, and even some singing can be heard when you walk in- to Miss Kathy Lightcap’s guitar class. The basic foundation for good guitar playing were reading skills, writing skills and music theory. “. . . all right class, any more questions? Good, on with the next problem . . .” Math problems gave students the run around as they strug- gled to understanding the work before the big test. A wide section of math courses were offered from consumer math to college calculus. The depart- ment membership was altered with the addition of three new teachers, Mrs. Janet Drewry, Mrs. Bernice Little, and Mrs. Alexa Mims. Students were surprised to begin the year with new text books. Those who excelled in math were eligible for entrance in the Nation- al Mathematics Contest, held in March. Baton in hand and whistTe 5n mouth, Bernard Knight leads the Mariner Band in practice. In anticipation of Homecoming, the band practices their field drills. Field T rips Nurture Spring Fever ; Art Rotated , Exibited Oh, no, gym again? For sophomores, it was their last required year, but any junior or senior who wanted to stay in top physical shape could take gym for fun. New to Mariner Country, Coach Donald Clary became physical educa- tion department head. He said he was very optimistic about the overall phys- cal and drivers education program. He felt the health program needed im- provement, and was very concerned that it be accomplished. Field trips seemed to be one way of keeping the boys and girls with spring fever, interested in gym. The drivers education classes were also greeted with the news of a longed for fie ld trip. They went to observe traffic violations in the Newport News Traffic Court. Expressing their creative talent in various areas, students participated and experimented in art class. Their works of art that they had so diligently, sometimes accidentally created, gained the opportunity to be oogled at, ooh-ed and aah-ed at, exclaimed at, and finally, bid on, at the annual spring art exhibit in the library. Several of these creations were also seen at local exhibits and area competitions, where Ferguson’s taient was recognized and appreciated, and where several students received awards. One particular artist, senior Donnie Stokes, was honored by being selected to attend the Governor’s School for the Gifted during the summer. A rotation system pleased students as they were allowed to change teachers and classrooms every six weeks. New art equipment included ten table looms and silk screening apparatus. Mrs. Dorothy Edwards, department chairman, observed, “The students seem to like very much their experi- ences in the art classroom. I believe the teachers to be enthusiastic and that growth is taking place. ' Poised, Mimi Block prepari a basket.

Girls have now become an active part of NJROTC, according to Lt. Commander James R. Jenkins. Growing from one girl to five on the drill team, girls have taken their place in Ferguson’s unit. The Military Ball for all ROTC units in the Newport News high schools was sponsored by Ferguson’s unit this year. Awards were given to outstanding students. A Military scholarship was awarded to Tom Wilson, who is now attending Virginia Military Institute. In weekly competition the best marchers were selected to participate on the drill team. They marched at football halftimes and in the pennisula wide ROTC competition. The drill team added throwing, twisting, and exchanging rifles, to their routine. The rifle team practiced at a rifle range each week to improve their marksman- ship. The top five cadets entered a shooting competition and sent their entries to the Secretary of the Navy, who judged the national contest.

In what was called the Phase Elective Program, all stu- dents selected two out of six mini- courses to study, with topics such as local government, twentieth century government, and American foreign policies. An all day field trip to Washington, D.C. was the most popular social studies activity. The best all around social studies student was honored by the Woodman of the World award. Several students participated in the Presidential Classroom, a week long workshop in Washington, D.C. for students interested in government. The Social Studies Department also held mock political elections, and had guest speakers. Students were involved in the Voices of Democracy contest and Leadership Day. “One of the best departments at Ferguson,” is how Mrs. Marika Anthony, Social Studies department head described it. Study hall, as usual, progressed throughout the year with few aware of its existence. Mrs. Helen Hardaway has been full time study hall monitor for five successive years, and, as she explained her present attitude, “I like this job very much.” 120 w Social Studies, Study Hall Vo-Tech Co-op Build Skills: POP Independent “Students that attend Vo Tech learn trades and skills while here,” said Mr. George Lynn, coordinator and counse- lor. A few of the courses taught were masonry, sheet metal, carpentry, and electronics. Many of the students at- tained high paying summer jobs as they put to use their newly developed skills toward the end of the year. “Our experience shows that the stu- dent who functions best in a program such as Point Option should be a person who does not depend on teachers, parents, or his friends for making decisions,” said Charles Miller, Point Option principal. Point Option offers classes in the areas of social studies, English, math, art, physical education, and foreign languages. The Co-Op program is designed to demonstrate that disadvantaged stu- dents sixteen and older can enter the world of work with entry level skills through a public education program. “The objectives are to prepare students for full time employment through a cooperative work-training program re- lated to their occupational interests,” said Mr. Venable, coordinator. !i c? 1 i !

The business instructors took addi- tional college work to learn new and better teaching methods. They hoped that they succeeded in using these tech- niques with their students. More stu- dents registered for business courses than ever before. Results of the busi- ness contest held in the spring showed that students were more qualified in spelling, typing, and ditto work than ever before. Distributive Education provided students with an introduction to the field of marketing, distribution, selling, and designing. Students developed the social, economic, mathematical, and communicative skills necessary for holding jobs. Combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training was used to give students a realistic view of the world of work. Industrial Cooperative Training instructed students in industrial skills to prepare them for employment. Stu- dents were selected by the Coordinator, Mr. Julian Baker, to participate in the program on the basis of sincere interest in completing the ICT program. Ad- vanced students left school at 12:30 and went to jobs which related to ca- reers in which they were interested. Not only did the students learn in- dustrial skills, but they learned about such things as child labor laws, taxes, and insurance. This has prepared them for problems that may occur when they are working. 125 Business small sphere new sur rounc set of tea c } le their exis t granted.

To sophomores, it meant roundings. It was a time to get acquainted with a whole new l chers, students and activities, but it was also a time to make tence known to people who took such a trivial matter for as the realization that there was one more to go into the world outside of high school, ribution was expected of them.

While watching all the changes in classes and attitudes, teachers and members of the administration stood by each individual and offered a helping hand over the rough spots. With the addition of new teachers and a new principal, there were many changes which were soon felt by everyone concerned. New students, ideals, hopes, teachers, and a new principal, helped make 1975-76 a year to remember. It was a year full of changes with each separate individual adding to the im- portance of the school in his own way, while at the same time, he was venturing into . . . new directions. in the Mr. Hicks the prize New Principal Brings New Directions For Ferguson At first thoughtful, then amused, Mr. Cox shows his enthusiasm at his first Mariner football game. In the fall, Ferguson was assigned William Cox from Denbigh High School as our new principal. With few adjustments, Mr. Cox was able to re- place Mr. Hines, who became an assistant super- intendent of schools. At first, many were unsure of him and did not know if he could adjust from being a Patriot to a Mighty Mariner. After some reassurance, the student body accepted him completely. Mr. Cox involved himself with school activities. He challenged the Annual Staff by agreeing that he would jump in the lake if they sold 1,000 year- books. He was also seen often throughout the day talking and inviting students to visit him, which the Mariners seemed to approve of greatly. “I think Ferguson continues to progress. The students seem to show more school spirit and more pride in their school. I think Ferguson’s got it together better than any other school in Newport News, and I don’t mind saying it to anyone. I enjoy my job. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here,” Mr. Cox said. 128 Administration Working to improve student attendance, assistant Principal David Barr supervises daily absences, tardies, lockers, and textbooks. The school is as strong and as steady as those who uphold it. This was true in many aspects. The school day was started long before the first bell rang at 8:55. Assistant principals arrived early and made ready to greet the students. Office secretaries have already begun their duties. Telephones rang and typewriters clickety-clacked before we arrived. Guidance counselors arranged meetings to solve students’ problems. Once the students have arrived, they already have the operation in full swing. Attendance is taken and recorded, and the day is on its way. Finding time to observe individual classes is a yearly must for Asssist- ant-Principal Margaret Lane. ■ Always looking for solutions of student activities, assistant Principal Tim Walter keeps busy throughout each day. 129 Administration Teachers Combine Mr. Robert Ackerman: B.S., M.S., Syracuse University, Sponsor: Computer Club Phys- ics, Math Mr. Howard Altson: B.S., N.C.

In the fall, teachers were confronted with pleading voices asking them to sponsor their groups because . . . Most of them accepted and became a full- time or part-time sponsor. They put many extra hours into these clubs, pulling strings, asking favors, co- operation from the adminis- tration that only a faculty member could do.

Preacher? No, Teacher TEACHER What is a teacher? Is he a lover or a preacher? Or maybe just a creature? Whatever the subject may be, He is always there to please. Some may disagree, but you will see. At school he works all day, Dealing with those who will play. Threatening with his ever slapping ruler, That he uses on those pre-schoolers. At the end of the week, When his bones retire, To the sweet place of home, Where he most desires. He removes his schoolmaster’s mask, And forgets all his weekly tasks, Camping, canoeing, horseback riding, and such, Are all his enjoyments that he loves so much. As the end of his holiday comes to a close, He remembers his job and all its many woes. But he knows it is not so bad, For he loves all his little lasses and lads. He awakens by the ring of his alarm, And enters his week with plenty of charm. Knowing that many are not in the mood, But he promises not to be rude. Now you may know a little bit more That makes your respect for him soar. For a teacher is a teacher, Maybe a lover or a preacher.

The senior class got off to a quick start at the be- ginning of the year, and picked up enough momentum to keep it rolling until June. While the hot August sun was still beating onto swimsuit clad students, seniors dutifully reported to the Holi- day Inn to have portraits made. When school began, the senior class council, under the leadership of Scooter Johnson, met every Tuesday morning in Mrs. Deborah Carroll’s room. Activities were planned which in- cluded a not-too-successful dance and a car wash in October. Dues added some spice to the class treasury, requir- ing a whooping eight dollars per stu- dents to cover all senior class activities. Future class projects were plentiful, and the selling of ootball jerseys headed the list. Seniors enthusiastically planned the Miss Mariner Pageant and Prom. Senior Executive Board.

While trying to attract the cheer- leaders attention, seniors resorted to original gimmicks. They wore beannie hats and held “Super Senior Spirit” signs; the slogan was quickly turned into a popular chant. Faithfully, Steve Grimstead donned a “Super Senior” cape and Brian Byers stood on the gym floor waving the Spirit of ’76 flag.

The subject of senior privileges was very controversial for seniors and underclassmen. The private senior lunchroom was always being invaded by juniors and sophomores, while the seniors tried in vain to chase them out. The privilege of having only four classes plus open campus were two other senior luxuries. Other students did not accept the senior privileges as being exclusive, and many rebelled by going off campus for lunch.

Any senior who was looking ahead to college found that image sud- denly looming directly in front of them. On November 11, College Night was held at War- wick High School. Over 80 colleges sent repre- sentatives to hold small informative group sessions. Students could visit any “college room” they wished, and learn more about col- lege requirements, financial aid, and campus activities. Seniors finally felt the first jolt of actually leaving good old Fergie, and venturing off into a new direction, a world of unknown — college. mise Lipscombe helps Billy Johnson 1 CLAUDE GIBBS PAX ANDREW GOODSON Tennis 10,11,12; Computer Club 10,11,12; NHS 11,12; Windjammer 10,11.

Crazy as it may sound, this advice had to be heeded, or there was no chance of mounting the donkeys at all. In between periods of laughter and spills, seniors tried to mount the donkeys, but in vain. The stubborn animals just were not prepared to take on a passenger. Car- rots wefe used to coax the donkeys, but sometimes that method worked too well. They stopped moving com- pletely in order to indulge in what they thought was the more profitable part of the evening. In return for such a treat, the donkeys kicked the helmet- clad players continously. The students seemed to have constant contact with the floor as the restless donkeys rid themselves of the added weight. Spec- tators on the sidelines were amused by the antics of the players as well as the donkeys. Some became hysterical, and rolled on the floor with laughter. Soph- omores took advantage of the many senior handicaps and scored contin- uously. Highlighting the Senior-Soph- omore game was Mike Altizer, “The Clean-up Kid”, as he swept up after his donkey’s “accident”.

The idea was simple: mix with 700 high school students from all over the country, attend seminars, sightsee, visit Capitol Hill, and socialize. This week of learning, better known as Presidential Classroom, has been functioning for eight years. Interest in this program increased this year, and eight students were able to attend the week-long classroom. It was a great opportunity to learn, to experience, and to meet other teens from various backgrounds. DONNA D. MCMILLAN Cheerleader 10,11; Choral Music 10,11,12; A Capella Choir V.

The choice beauties of the Class of ’76 paraded down the aisle in an attempt to compete with the Home- coming court. When the legs of the con- testants were being shown, the audience went wild. The winner, Boom Boom, better known as John Brumbaugh, was modeling a pink halter dress and was voted unanimously the queen of the court. | 149 Seniors Reynolds — Ruff PERR Y ALLEN RE YNOLDS Band 10.

Seniors quickly filled the cafeteria on November 1, 1975 to take their Scholas- tic Aptitude or Achievement Tests. For three hours, yawning students struggled through nerve racking math and verbal problems. The tests finally over, every- one ran screaming and yelling out into the Indian summer sunshine and began planning Saturday afternoon activities. After a suspenseful six weeks, seniors were sent their scores which turned out to be a mixed celebration of happiness for some and crying for others. College Board SAT’s and Achievement tests were also taken on December 6 and January 24 for those who felt ready to strike again.

Contemplating the various paraphernalia included his inquiry to Jannelle Diggs. ▼ on the order blanks, Eric Jones directs “Come order your graduation an- nouncements today!” This cry was heard early in November and excited many seniors. Signs were hung every- where in school announcing when and where accessories for seniors would be sold. The location was the bookroom, and the important day was November 11th. All day while underclassmen en- viously watched, seniors ordered grad- uation announcements, calling cards, memory books, and keys. Aside from the announcements, the most popular item was the memory book which was a personalized do-it-yourself yearbook. Before long, seniors were being measured for caps and gowns, and they realized that graduati on was finally approaching. 155 Seniors Akers — Birts y© Council Expands, Class Unified Planning the activities of the Junior Class, the Class Council met on Wed- nesday afternoons with the sponsor, Mrs. Shelia Cislo. This group of 30 in- terested juniors worked hard to plan the activities for the coming year. The officers for the Junior Class for the 1975-76 school year were: Pomeroy Brinkley, president, Monette Dutch, vice-president, Debbie Gurley, secre- tary, Lisa McAvoy, treasurer, and Kathy Dougherty, reporter-historian. These officers and the Class Council, which had doubled in size since the previous year, worked hard in their fund-raising projects and their weekly planning sessions. With Mrs. Cislo sponsering the class for the second year, efforts of the class were unified through her energy and enthusiasm. Junior Class Officers. Front Row: Kathy Dougherty, Lisa McAvoy.

Wet juniors, with a sponge in one hand and a hose in the other, washed everything from the tiniest foreign sports cars to a colorfully decorated van. Juniors were told to meet at the Ex- xon Station at 10:00 a.m. one fall Satur- day morning and to bring their own buckets, sponges and soap. Water and hoses were supplied by the station. Besides the ordinary wash job done on most cars, tar was removed from underneath the car of a man who brought his own tar remover but no extra money to pay for the juniors’ ex- tra work. All their hard work paid off. At the end of a profitable day, juniors had really boosted their treasury. 158 Juniors Dupree — Fox Debbie Dupree Monette Dutch Donell Eason Kathy Edmiston Walter Elam Cindy Ellicott Deborah Epps Alvin Evans Annette Evans Michael Evans Robert Evans Susan Evans Daniel Everette Cynthia Farrar Ricky Farrow Carol Fenner Kent Ferebee Alan Ferrell Julie Fincher Lynne Fiscella Mike Fleischman Cheryl Foster Leslie Fowles Bryan Fox 159 Juniors Fox-Grant Doughnut -Candy Sale Fattens J unior T reasury As Ring Dance approached, it was quickly discovered that large amounts of cash would be needed to fulfill the juniors’ dream of a perfect night. The Junior Class Council decided to sell doughnuts outside the shipyard gates. All the necessary preparations were made and on October 27 fifteen loyal juniors turned out in cold and rainy weather. These faithful students worked from 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. In this short time, the junior treasury was increased by $50. Although Ms helped, much more was needed. Chocolate bars had been sold the year before and really filled out the treasury. Since this had worked so well, the Class Council decided to sell candy again. This project was a great success, adding considerably to the treasury. Doughnuts and chocolate bar sales brought the Junior Class one step closer to Ring Dance.

I just can’t decide!” Juniors had important decision- making to do when, they chose their Mariner class rings. Twenty-dollar down payments had to be made in Sep- tember for the December ring delivery which took a large bite out of some pockets. “ . . . I’ve got it! Fireblue spinel with an F encrusted in yellow gold!” 162 I Juniors Litt le — McNa mara Sylvester Lynch James Mabry Jim Maguire Linda Maguire Joe Mahone Prabhav Maniyar Cheryl Manley Cynthia Manley Deborah Marcum Dottie Massie Becky Maustellar Ronald Maxwell Steven Mayeaux Copper Maynor David McAllister Lisa McAvoy Susan McCoy Queenie McCutchen Jean McDaniel Denise McDowell Bucky McLaughlin Jan McMillan Clarence McNair Kathy McNamara 163 Juniors M cPh er son- Moseley Fall Teri McPherson Wanda McWilliams Mike Mee Lois Melton Lawrence Mercado Johnny Merritt Harmon Miley Cathlean Miller Christina Mina David Mitchell Henry Mitchell Pamela Mitchell Royal Mitchell Ronald Mizell Ryan Monroe Debbie Moore Gerald Moore Jesse Moore Wayne Moore Twannia Morgan Carolyn Morris Patrese Morris Patricia Morris Cynthia Moseley Diana Butta 164 Juniors Ordeal Monotonous College bound juniors prepared themselves for the ordeal of SAT tests by taking PSAT tests in the fall. They registered with their guidance coun- selors and after paying a $3.00 fee they were allowed to miss first, second, and third periods on the chosen test day. On November 18, slightly anxious juniors filed into the cafeteria. Too early in the morning for concentration, juniors struggled to stay awake through the monotonous hours of testing. The cafeteria, usually roaring with noise, was silent until time was called for the last test.

The cheers of approval from the audience led the junior skit to victory by defeating the Rams in the skit and on the field.

Monette Dutch, class vice-president, was on her way down to accept the spirit stick. The Pep Club sponsored a most “Spirited Class Contest.” Each day for a week, members of the Pep Club sat in the cafeteria with jars representing each class. The student body was to place their money in the jar corresponding to their class. Between lunch and the pep assem- bly, the money was counted. Evelyn Watkins, president of the Pep Club, announced the win- ner, and in her own words she said the winner was “THE MIGHTY, MIGHTY, MIGHTY JUNIORS!” Decorating for spirit week, the juniors had a hard task, but the only way to do it was to get started. The hall assigned to juniors for spirit week was the one which reached from the cageteria to the chorus room. Blue and white anchors hung from the light fixtures. Football with the names of junior “stars,” a wanted list, and streamers decorated the walls. The juniors worked to make their hall the best and were rewarded by winning the contest again as they had as sophomores.

Do you know where room 100 is?” These questions were often heard float- ing through the air as the first days of school descended on the unwilling soph- omores. After almost three months of swimming and having fun, they, along with the rest of the student body, were not quite prepared to relinquish free- dom in exchange for nine months of laborous efforts at school work. Many sophomores were baffled as they tried to decipher the floor plan which looked so simple, yet was so confusing to un- derstand. Although guides were placed at strategic spots in the building, there was a bit of chaos during the opening days, as sophomores tried to find their own little niche on the Mariner ship.

Selling doughnuts and asking a “penny-a-vote” for their class as the most spirited came off well with them earning a lump sum to water down their almost dry treasury. Organization of the class in the fall produced Valerie Harvey as President. Contests between the classes marked an especially significant challenge to the new comers who took on any com- petition wholeheartedly. Hobos and bums find it hard to concentrate in class, one in particular, Joanne Lefkowitz find it even harder when surrounded by a bunch of bums.

Original decorations which sported such slogans as “Get Fired Up boasted spirit to its fullest. Decorations moti- vated spirit week to its fullest with a large attendance at the game and a victory over Warwick. On Thursday, students used their talents to dress up as hobos; faces were marked with charcoal and mom’s best lipstick.

The sopho- mores showed their heels by defeating the juniors and seniors to walk or ride away with the championship. Obstinate donkeys persuaded many players to drag them rather then ride. Only one time out was necessary to sweep up the floor after a different type of spill. Football helmets were required equipment to pilot the don- keys across the court or, as in many occasions, riders were launched through the air. Spills and chills w r ere common, for a few of the donkeys had aquired a unique talent for ridding themselves of cumbersome riders. Loss of contact with a donkey many times meant a chase and avoiding kicking heels. Riders that didn’t expect donkeys to move faster than a walk got a surprise when their donkey moved out at a brisk trot that sometimes left them sitting on the floor. When grabbing at the basketball some riders found themselves grabbing at their mounts for balance.

Excepting the honor as the sophomore representitive on the Homecoming Court were Valerie Harvey and Sheryl Green. Next they showed how alive and spirited a newcom ing class could be, “We are going to prove that we can yell and cheer just as good as they an. that was a remark that a very spirited ctenth grader made while he helped his classmates in the strugle for the spirit stick.

Although the staff was blessed with a 20% book sales increase, it faced the loss of Mrs. Margaret Bell, who was trans- fered to Denbigh High School, as advisor. After attaining its new ad- visor, Mrs. Jimmie Espich, the staff was well on its way. Along with in- structing the new rookies, the five senior members set out to develop and produce a new design in yearbooks. Traveling to the Virginia High School League workshop in Charlottes- ville, the staff learned of new tech- niques in yearbooks, and of the first place award captured by the 1975 Mariner. Minor disagreements caused a few flair-ups between staff members, but after talking them out, the staff was able to pick itself back up and con- tinue in its production. After nine months of strenuous work, the staff completed the book in March. Photographers. Ray Highsmith, Mike Clark, Steve Lanning; Photo. Ed., James Campbell.
