MARINER Volume XVI Homer L. Ferguson High School 11 Shoe Lane Newport News, Virginia 23606 DOING IT.... With all the new things at Fer- guson, life was a little easier for all of us. But there were things that we all had to make the best of. Our way was to do the best we could with what we had. Paper con- servation increased the number of blackboard tests and decreased the number of mimeographed study sheets. The energy crunch put a crunch on boys' gym classes and night activities. Mariners used long cafeteria lines to catch up on the latest gossip. The cafeteria was a meetingplace before school, a market place for school-related sales during school, and a dance- hall before the energy restrictions. Some classrooms were crowded, but students packed in more desks and practiced a new type of 'to- getherness'.

Our Way 3 4 Our Way Changing For The Better During the summer vacation, construction work at Fergusonwas not a big part of the average Mar- iner's thoughts. But when upper- classmen returned toschool, many changes brought back memories of the spring of '76. Sophomores entered without pleasant memories of bulldozers crawling down the main hall, but they soon saw the changes at Fergie.

The main office was enlarged and the guidance offices consolidated. A new dark- room, a greenhouse and a new reading program were introduced. Wishes for a new type of exam came true as Ferguson moved into a nine-week grading system, and adopted a new and much de- bated report card.

Loud Screaming participation in pep rallies and at football games showed other students, other schools and other people that we were Mariners and proud of it. Sports, art, writing and other competitions brought rcognition to Ferguson students, in school and out. People expressed their feelings to other people through both quiet words and zany ac- tions. We showed the world who we were--our Way. TOP: A football player converses with Coach Quillen during a Todd Stadium game. LEFT: Students enjoying school food is unusual, but Tim Hughes likes it.

Today Is The Day Each day at Ferguson was today,'' a Mariner day to be done in our own style. While we re- membered our yesterdays, the cur- rent minute was always the most important. Each day, lasting on- ly for a brief moment, soon be- came another memory added to an ever-growing collection. Our times came and went, to be en- joyed and to be remembered when today became yesterday. ABOVE: History classes take notes intently during Mr. Coc- coli's lecture period.

Sophomores came to a new school and wandered around the halls getting lost un- til they learned their way around Fergie. Juniors, in the middle, began preparing for the future by taking SAT tests and attending college days. They had to get used to the fact that soon they would be seniors. Seniors, in their last year here, applied to colleges, planned ahead, and still tried to enjoy the last year. Some people cooperated in group projects and some worked alone. Some students took their work more seriously and some took their fun more seriously. But each of the students at Ferguson was an individual, one person with his or her way of doing things.

Fer- guson hosted two AFS students, Jack Fletcher from South America, and Lynette Booth from Sebasto- pol California. Jack, who was here on the year program, and stayed with Becky Mausterler's family. Lynette, here on the semes- ter program lived with Beth Breck- inridge. Lynette found school work a little harder than she re- membered it in California. Ferguson student Ann Druck- er went to Wisconsin for an AFS semester program.

Al- though students had spent weeks preparing for the big event, most | events were drizzled out by the ; weather. Few students showed up for the traditional bon-fire and par- ade to the stadium, and the sprin- kling of fans at the game huddled : under umbrellas. A soggy field and a foothal| | team weakened by injuries con- tributed to a staggering loss to Hampton. In spite of the steady rain the Homecoming Court was presented at half-time and Senior Monette Dutch was crowned queen by Associate Principal Tim Walter. The queen and her court were also honored at a dance the following night in the cafeteria.

A special night was made even more unforgettable when small memory books were given out, with page for pictures and autographs. Class President Jack Young announced the couples that pass- ed under the ring. The highlight of the dance was, as always, when the couples received their rings and sealed it with a kiss. For the Juniors who attended, the night was one of excitement and good times that they will keep in mind for a long time to come.

Projects, Fund Raising Fill Active SGA’s Year Under the leadership of Hea- ther Dow the SCA ran smoothly. A car wash in September opened fund raising. Later they sold candy, and had the traditional end-of-the- Semester dance. For a community project, the SCA representatives, officers, and the school band went to four elementary schools for Christmas programs. Music and parties were provided by the group. SAC 21 Service, Fun Fill Year For Active Keyettes Keyettes strive each year to do ser- vice to both their school and their com- munity. With a task force of eager girls, they succeeded. Contributions were given in the form of money, time, and effort, and Key- ettes enthusiastically gave of all three by participating in SCA projects, by contributing to the Daily Press Christ- mas fund, the Heart Fund, and ohters, and by helping out various community and school organizations. To fund the projects, Keyettes sold candy and cleaned out Todd Stadium. The hardy girls entered a Walk-a-thon for the American Cancer Society and also aided the Muscular Dystrophy projects. Keyettes also made valentines, coloring books, and a variety of baked goods for children during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Regional Band tryouts went smoothly with the help of Keyette volunteers who served as guides and registrars. The social aspect of Keyettes in- cluded a Christmas secret pal party, a Valentine card party, and an induction ceremony.

With the help of their faculty advisor, Mr. Dew- ey Johnson, and their Kiwanis advisor, Mr. Richard Teagle, the FHS Key Club began a new year. The theme of Key Club Inter- national for the 1976-77 School year was Challenge Indifference To challen ge indifference, a large number of students was needed, especially to reach the goals of service to the community and the school. The membership was in- creased by 95%, and the Key Club received an award from In- ternaional in recognition of this achievement. The executive board led the club in their numerous activities, which included a visit to the Va. Baptist Home, a walk for Man- kind, a Christmas dinner for the orphans and staff of the Hopesville Boys' Ranch, a collection for Muscular Dystrophy and the Heart Fund, and also payment for the class ring of the AFS exchange student. Key Club also worked in con- junction with the Keyettes to help at Regional Band tryouts, and co- sponsored the Reading Improve- ment Book Drive. Members of the Key Club ush- ered at Miss Mariner, started to re-establish a club at Denbigh, cleaned up the school grounds, and raised money by painting, selling doughnuts and candy. The Key Club also looked into the possibility of sponsoring a child at the Hopesville Boys' Ranch. UPPER LEFT: Concentration is show on the face of Donald Pullen during a Key Club meeting.

Key Club 25 Most students look forward to some snow in the winter, but the usual quota of two or three inches was already met by the time the new year got into full swing. They got more than they bargained for when the record-setting low tem- peratures chilled their homes and especially their classrooms. Due to snow and bitter cold temperatures, Governor Goodwin declared a state of emergency that affected Ferguson students in more ways than one. Receiving two snow days by the end of January and ex- pecting a lot more, the Mariners were also affected by the closing of the boys gym and the postpone- ment of cancellation of many ex- tra-curricular activities. The reduction in energy con- sumption forced the Varsity bas- ketball team to play their home games in other gyms. They prac- ticed at Warwick and in the girls' gym. Miss Mariner and Donkey Basketball were both postponed and pep rallies could not be held because the natural gas-heated boys' gym was closed off.

Daily practice sessions were necessary to perfect skill within- struments and music reading. Pep rallies and concerts were opportunities for students to share their interest in music with stu- dents who were just good listeners. LEFT: Matt Grizzard practices playing from sheet music.

Fine Arts 29 Students Share Art, Music With Community The Vocal Ensemble or the Madrigals as they were most fre- quently called, were Ferguson's musical ambassadors to the Peninsula. The singers were selected by their former director, Cheryl Brown, who resigned after her December marriage. They performed for many groups, but the high point of the year was their appearance on the Dick Lamb Show in January. Under the leadership of a new director, Bonnie Yingling, the Singers gave many concerts for the public and school. Another part of Ferguson's cultural world was art. The Art Department decorated the Caf- eteria at Christmas, painted a back-drop for the Mariners Mu- seum and painted scenery for Up the Down Staircase. They also contributed paintings for show at the Fine Arts Week. TOP: New choral instructor, Bonnie Ying- ling, directs the Choir. LEFT: Listening intently, Cheryl Brown aims for a perfect tone.

Fine Arts 31 Student, Teacher Problems Shown Through Drama Rehearsals of blocking and going over lines seemed like they would never end, but fin- ally it was opening night and the long wait was over. Preparations for Up the Down Staircase began weeks before the the three nights that students turned the stage into a classroom. Standing under hot, blinding lights receiving orders under Miss Quinn's watchful eyes, cast members perfected their roles. Tech Saturday, short breaks to Burger King, applause and even ''Hi, Teach,'' were soon only memories to students who had made the auditorium their home for weeks. Lasting friendships were formed and each participant learned things he had not Known about himself before he became Alice, Sylvia, or Joe fora brief moment.

Make-Up, Costumes, sets Bring Staircase’ To Lite Tryouts for Up the Down Stair- case were held with a huge group of hopeful students reading for parts. Rehearsals went on for weeks with endless reading and coaching on the right way to do it from sponsor Miss Pat Quinn. Sets were built by the set crew and the stagecraft class. Posters, programs , and costumes were made. With the stage finally trans- formed into an English classroom of a big city school, students wig- gled into costumes, put on make- up, wished each other good luck and it was opening night. Drama 35 Fine Arts Weeks Brings Games, Film, Music, Fun Fine Arts Week, held in the spring of 1976, was Ferguson's second annual week long cele- bration of students talents. Fine Arts Week included a film festival, colonial games, a fashion show, sidewalk art shows and musical groups on the lawn. The weather cooperated and made the out-door activities a refreshing break from classes. TOP RIGHT: Involved in Fine Arts Week, Ernest Johnson enjoys his jello.

Two assemblies featured del- egates running for Congress. Se- lected classes were taken to see Jessie Ratley, Bob Quinn and George Grayson answer questions asked by students. Later, Repub- lican Paul Trible and Democrate Bob Quinn returned for another session of answering students questions. Campus Life presented a human interest assembly to get students involved in activities outside of school. Another as- sembly promoted the Walk For Mankind which many Ferguson students participated in. The traditional spirit week skits provided a lot of laughs for students, and the Homecom- ing assembly gave them a chance to see the representatives from each class for Homecoming Court. When the Christmas season neared the Christmas assembly was held. Holiday spirit was generated by the band and cho- rus as they presented seasonal selections.

Spirit Leaders Rouse Pep At Games, Rallies Preparing for hard work ahead, Ferguson's Varsity cheerleaders attended a two day camp at Lind- sey Junior High as commuters. During their stay they won num- erous awards, including one rib- bon for excellence, two for supe- riority, one spirit stick, and an award of excellence. They also were awarded a megaphone by the National Cheerleader Asso- ciation, who sponsored the camp. Fundraising projects included the sale of socks and hats. Al- though they cheered for only two major sports, they displayed spir- it and skill in dance routines and cheers.

Spirit 47 New Members Inducted By Selective Honorary Fora group of very special seniors, December ninth was an important day. On this day they were inducted into the National Honor Society. The entire student body and some very proud parents watched intently as these students became members of this most pres- tigious organization. The purpose of the organiza- tion, according to Mrs. Ora Brink- ley, sponsor, is to uphold the high standards of scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter associated with it. Mem- bers are encouraged to set an example for other students to follow. Fund raising was a major ef- fort this year. The club sold cit- rus fruit and held several bake sales to help finance their activities.

GAZETTE 1977 Halts Bicentennial Red, white and blue pens, plaques, flags, books and stamps were only a few of the different types of articles sold in commemoration of the Bicentennial year. The Bicentennial! began with millions of enthusiastic Americans who were glad to be able to celebrate their na- tion's two hundredth birthday. The months slipped by and before long the big day was here. Fireworks crackled, flags flew, and America was ina very festive mood. Then it was all over. A- merica started turning deaf ears to the pleas of store owners trying to unload their leftovers. People were get- ting tired of hearing about the Bicentennial. Students were asked their opinion on the Bicentennial and these were some of the remarks: It was nice at the begin- ning but after awhile it got old. It made me more aware of my country's past history. It was fun and | learned more about my country. You mean the B-U-Y- centennial? It was just an excuse for people to sell eagle toilet seats! The Bicentennial meant a lot of things to a lot of people. We lea rned to apprec- iate our nation and we learned more about our country's past. Now that the Bicentennial is over, we can relax and go back to quieter times. In years to come, we can look back to when we were stu- dents during the Bicentannial. And we can tell our children, that's the way it was. Arrival of the Freedom Train in Newport News brought history and over-priced souvenirs. Mariner Gazette 49 Carter Moves Into The White House Probably the most drastic change this year, besides waving good-bye to the year long birthday party, was the election of a new president. For months the American people watched debates, read articles and watched commer- cials about the two opposing candidates, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. The race was close, so close that many people did not even try to predict it. In the end Jimmy Carter won by a slight margin. Along with the election of Carter came piles of pea- nut teeth and small town jokes. Products such as Jim- my Carter can-openers, wrist watches, coins, and T-shirts flooded the market. January 20,1977 was an exciting day for the U.S. ts Students were able to watch the Inaguration and parade on TV sets in the Library and in some classrooms. After the excitement was over the American people be- gan to sit back and see if Jimmy Carter's promises of peace, prosperity, a better economy and brotherhood would come true.

Ferguson Makes Improvements Fo This year has beena year of changes for Ferguson. These changes included ex- pansion and remodeling of the library, office, and guid- ance offices. A new green- house was built adjacent to room 118. For photographers, a dark room was added to the library. The drama de- partment was favored witha new lighting system in the auditorium. Along with all of these favorable changes came a very controversial one; the nine weeks grading period. This change included two nine weeks per semester. 50 Mariner Gazette Many students complained that this did not let them av- erage their grade evenly for the semester, like the three six week periods did. The new system also included a nine weeks test instead of exams. Although this sounded easier, many Students said that since only one hour was given for most tests, they were much more difficult. The exam system was evaluated by teachers at the end of the school year, They were to recommend an exam program based on their findings. Student Suggestions for further changes at Ferguson given by the students included burning down the school, blowing it up and other slight changes. More drastic sug- gestions were having a juke- box in the cafeteria, killing the bugs, open campus at lunch for underclassmen, mirrors in the boy's bath- rooms and all new English teachers. Some of these suggestions have already been put into action, and next year will include further changes for Ferguson High.

We face a world that our ancestors could nev- er have dreamed of. In the immediate future, we face college, careers, marriage, and most important, adult- hood. But the past is a part of us, where our personalities and characteristics were formed. These will follow us through the rest of our lives. Memories are a most impor- tant part of us, and memories of our past years in school will remain with us for the rest of our lives also. These are some of our memories. Everyone was quiet as the teacher began to pass report cards out. Giving my Dad my fourth grade report card was the moment | dreaded. We used to have recess in the fifth grade even.

Caught a dragon fly inside a jar. Fearful when the sky was full of thunder and tearful at the falling of a star. — Then the child moved ten times around the sea- sons, skated over ten clear frozen streams.

It had once been a part of a great civilization upon some distant planet; the entity couldn't actually remember the name of it. It had once had an organic body that walked on a beautiful world with peaceful mountains, green fields, animal-filled forests, and gently rolling seas. But following the wake of progress, the civilization learned how to move man's mind int o humanoid robots. The human body was aban- doned. They were only thoughts housed by machines that obeyed and worked just as the human body had done, Mike Clark 54 Mariner Gazette but without the restrictions and nessessities of the orig- inal form. Then as time went on, they learned to leave their mechanical bodies and were ableto move and control things with thought energy alone. So here was the final step in progress; a lonely being floating through the hugeness of space. The entity was a dimen- sionless, invisible being with tendrils of energy that could shape a planet intoa new form, or explode a star into nonexistence. It need only to think of where it wanted to go, and ina matter of seconds, it would speed through the universe and ar- rive at its chosen destination. It had spent much time of its existence searching the cosmos for life. It had By Scott Evans found a wide range of living beings, none of which re- motely reminded the entity of its former life, the exist- ing being yearned for its old, cherished life or at least to be close to it. The entity was so lonely in a so universe. And now it thought. It sped silently through an aw- fully unending universe like the wind rushing across a wavy meadow back on its ancient home planet. It whis- pered past dying suns and infant suns, pasts clusters of glowing, arranged stars and cold, lifeless planets. After passing through a im- mense gulf of space with no up or down, it stopped on the fringes of a golden, shiny galaxy. This would be the place. Now the entity scanned the heavens and concentrat- ed its powers on a beautiful nebula cloud shining against the studded, black back- ground. The nebula was a mass of swirling rivers of color, flowing and blending together with starry gems twinkling through the mist. The magnificent cloud was nothing more than a million mile stretch of different gases and dust particles sus- pended in space. The entity put forth its energies upon the nebula. The colorful cloud was being com- pressed smaller and smaller into a denser mass. What would have taken gravity mil- lions of years took the en- - tity a few moments to create a solar furnace of a future star. The dead sun silhou- etted against the empty, _ blackness of space just wait- ing to be ignited into fiery brillance. Now the entity focused _ its powers on the entire vol- ume of that milky galaxy. Its invisible energies radi- ated out like the ripples | Spreading away from a peb- ' ble that strikes the surface of aclear lake. The ripples of energy drew in towards itself, every asteroid, every _ particle of cosmic dust, and every other speck of matter _ that was not under the power of a great sun or planet. As it drew the pieces of matter - towards its center, it also — brought cooling gases emitted _ from suns and other nebula. _ Now the being had its tools to start a solar system and anew home. With a force no other existing thing pos- sessed, the entity molded, crushed together, and shaped its gathered materials into nine planets which set into their elliptical orbits around the still unborn star. Now the entity blanketed the col- lected gases around the var- ious new worlds. It had done all this with the ease of a child molding and object from clay. The planets varied in size and distance from the gaseous clump soon to be their sun. The entity then took some chunks of galactic matter remaining and gave them their own orbits around the commanding planets, dead barren satellites to always stare down into the glowing face of its mother planet. The rest of the rubble was depos- ited between the fourth and fifth planets, floating use- lessly for eternity. The entity looked upon its newly created, dark, life- less solar system. It had thought of this moment fora long time and had planned the steps it would take. The third planet would be the one. The third planet would be : cae, Tee ee oe Sa | ba aS Mike Clark given the gift of life. The entity would give its life created in the image of its home planet with the beau- tiful landscapes, animals, and most of all, people. The entity would watch over its growing civilization for etern- ity. That was the closest it neue get to its beloved, old ife. The entity turned to the dark, gaseou s sun, and with the first step toward its new race commanded, 'Let there be light!

His body was horribly deformed, frailer and leaner, and barely weighing half of a normal person. His parents were over- taken by shock when this gro- tesque infant was handed over to them at the hospital. It just couldn't be theirs! But they were kind, caring people and, when they fin- ally adjusted they raised Tony with love despite his appearance. Tony tried to go to pub- lic school, but the unfeeling kids tormented him, laughing at the way he sat and walked. Some would not come near him, and screanied this to the teacher inthe middle of class, Mike Clark 58 Mariner Gazette adding to the awful embar- assment. He would return home each night to bury his head ina pillow, tears flow- ing downhis reddened cheeks. And in bed, he would stare up at a white, endless ceil- ing and ask, Why me?! Why do | have to be like this? ! Later, Tony was placed ina private school, where the children were a little more understanding and con- siderate. But there was only so much understanding for something like him. That was the worst thing to Tony, the going out in public. He hated walking down the sidewalk in town and seeing the faces fo the people passing by, th eir eyes staring in horrible, unbeliev- ing wonder, the girls' heads turning away w ith frightened disgust at his hideous face, the quickening steps hurry- ing to get by, and their whis- pering giggles behind. And then his parents died when Tony was twenty and he was left alone without care or love. He had tried to get a job then, but was stopped by his handicap and the employ- er's prejudice. Nobody want- ed to hire a freak. Then one naturally cloudy day, Tony was offered a job, a job as hideous as his looks. In fact, it was his appearance that got him the job . It was with the car- nival just outside of town. Tony was now a freak ina sideshow. Tony wouldn't have taken this kind of life, but it was either that of starvation in his shabby, deteriorating apartment building downtown. The carnival fed him, along with everyone else involved there, and they let him stay ina shack behind the large tents. And at night, Tony would lay in his lumpy bed and listen to the crickets and the boomy laughter of the manager and workers while they drank cold cans of beer ina tent across the field. Tony would just stare ata barren wall and dream his own fantasy of a world where everyone was just like him. Another day came, but the orange orb of the sun never pierced the grey over- cast. What had once been a dirt field was now a place of joy. The carnival was an ocean of brightly colored tents and booths with the classical ferris wheel looming over the other dizzying, twirling, whizzing rides. When night came, the scene was trans- formed into a mass of moving, spinning blinking lights. An average crowd had passed through the front gates, and many figures moved amid the attractions. The happy laughter from gleeful souls and the sharp sounds of buz - zers, horns, and bells drifted into the air and hung around the carnival putting everyone ina festive mood. Down one dirt street were the arcade booths where one could pop balloons, ring bot- tles, and knock down cans for a stuffed toy. The squeals of wins and near-misses rose from the booths lining the Street. At the end of the enticing row of booths was a large tent, its red canvas flapping in the wind. The sideshow. The place where nature's mistakes were displayed. Inside, Tony stood be- hind bars (the bars were barriers for curious customers and for the reassurance of fearful onlookers) watching the faces go by, the same faces he had always seen before. He watched the piti- ful grimaces and unbelieving stares and each time, Tony clenched his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut so that the tears might not flow down his face. And he would blink andwatchthroughmisty, watery eyes and a tear would Mike Clark etch its way down his cheek. The barker's voice was loud and sharp and cut through the other sounds like a knife. Come see the seven-foot rat. You won't believe it, he shouted from his pedestal outside the sideshow tent. See the two-headed cow. See the dog-faced boy. A small crowd gathered and milled curiously around the barker. Guaranteed your money back that nothing is faked. Mariner Gazette 59 Mike Clark Three boys stood around listening intently. Well, are you going in, Warren? one said to another. No way, Warrenreplied. How about you, Kelly? Sure, why not? Kelly boastfully answered among the amazed stares of his friends. He bravely turned, marched over, and gave the man his coin, then disap- peared through the opening into the tent. Kelly slowed his marching pace when he entered. The interior was bathed in red light, engulfing and stifling him once he was inside. Col- umns of white light shone down where the attractions stood. The columns were scattered at random around the tent so that there every- 60 Mariner Gazette where one walked, there was something hideous in sight leaving no escape. The whole room gave off an evil, scary feeling and it was spookier than Kelly had thought. He hurried through the sea of red, his head darting about, not very anxious to see the other fr eaks described out- side, when he clanged into the bars of another cage. His head jerked up and his eyes stared into the tearful face of Tony. Tony stared down through clouded eyes at the all too familiar sight of a boy recoiling in repulsive terror. At first, Kelly could just gape and Stare, his eyes riv- eted to this horribly unbe- lievable freak. Then he turned and ran. What's the matter? of its head! Kelly stopped — | Thomas said mockingly.

Kelly continued, his iq tentacles waving frantically in the air, It had two more 4 limbs sticking out of its boty | that ended in five . ..ah ... five... little things! And its head was grotesque.

The next two games were also Mariner vic- tories. Phoebus lost by six points and Menchville by eight. The season looked like a winning one. Depression followed the next game when the Denbigh Patriots went away victorius by eighteen points. Several key players were injured. Team spirit was still good, but the disappointment hit hard. The next two games, including the homecoming game against Hampton, were also losses. A win was badly needed to boost team morale. Lady Luck was on the Mariner side. In the next game they defeated Norfolk Cath- olic by seventeen points. With high spirits the Mariner team charged intothe game against Kecoughtan. They fought hard for victory, but were defeated. De- pression was again felt by the team. The last two games were also losses; Bethel being the worst defeat of the year. The game against Warwick was close but the Raiders also proved them- selves superior. Although there were many handicaps affecting their perform- ance, the Mariners remained a team eager to win.

Varsity Football 71 Vee Oe LDA ATR AR ee ee 2) De eer ————————eeer SS Courageous Team Fights In Spite Of Depression We had good talent anda team that looked forward to a championship season. The injuries and the bad breaks we suffered during the games were the main factors in our dis- appointing season, said Var- sity Football Coach Harlan Hott. The season record of 4-6 was a depressing one forthe coaches, players and the student body. Key players worked hard to keep the team winning but the handicaps were too great to overcome. The loss of Willie Bell and Reginald Carpenter to injuries hurt the team badly. Minor injuries that kept players from practicing also affected their performance greatly during games. Although the season was a losing one, the team produced several outstanding players. Defensive back Tom Hall, of- fensive back David Dixon, nose guard Alan Lowe, and offensive and defensive tackle Jesse Moore were all highly recruited by major colleges. Hott remarked that this was one of the most courageous groups of players that he has been privleged to coach. He also said that the student body was behind them all the way.

They achieved their goal in making fourth place in the district, and making the district tournament with a 9-7 regular season record. Unfortu- nately, they suffered a defeat in the tournament and their season record ended at 9-8. Coach Walters explained that he had hoped the team would be better. We lacked in experience and consistancy in our play, but we won the key games when we had to, which was the major factor in our success, he said. The attitude of the team had its ups and downs during the season, but it remained one solid group. Leading the team with scores and rebounds was Prissy Hudson. Defensive leaders were Diane Davis and Peaches Terry, they used their experience in key sit- uations. Becky Richardson, De- bra Blakeney, Melissa Collins and Ann Switenburg were the most improved, players. Next year with the continued play of Louis Merdock, Sonya Pickney, Adrian Thompson, Jean- ette McMillan and Dale Kates the girls should bea top contender.

Girl's Basketball 75 Junior Varsity Team Second In District; New Soccer Team Does Well In First Season With a record of 6-1-1, this year's Junior Varsity Football team was the best in Ferguson's history. Aided by key players Mark Harrell, Jimmy Livengood, Daryle Wilson, and Anthony Pitt- man, they obtained a second place finish in the league. The guys did a remarkable job and | am proud of the, said Coach John Quillin. He remarked that the team had a lot of char- acter and unity and that he be- lieved that this was a decisive factor in the team's performance. Injuries were the greatest handicap to the team. Receivers Danny Womack and Kevin Banks were both injured in the cham- pionship game between Ferguson and Bethel. Quillin said that he believed the loss of these two players cost them the game. Although their record of 3-4- 4 was not as good as anticipa- ted, the newly formed Mariner soccer team played well. De- fense was their strong point. The forwards were good but lacked the badly needed punch. The mid- fielders did a good job of making the transition from offense to de- fense and helped both the for- wards and fullbacks. The team generally outplayed their opponents. They should be in the top of the league next year.

Their attitude and willing- ness to win were the major key. The one player who pushed the LE! | AE PY hardest on the foreward line was Diane Calleson. Other excellent players were Becky Mausteller, Vicky Mathews, Debbie Henderson and Linda Maguire. Coach Mas- ters is expecting more progress in the future.

Fifteen guys came out for the team and twelve were still running when the season began. Under the leadership of a new coach, Dirl Riddle, the team finished with a seasonal record of 8-0. We were the District champs breaking Menchville's four year record, said lead run- ner Joey Keyes. The team also placed a strong second in the Reginals even though it was one of the youngest teams in the area. All the Cross-Country team members also participated on the indoor track team. The indoor team placed third in the district meet and fifth in the Reginals. Track 81 Gymnastics Team Struggles; Wrestling Team Excells Considering the fact that the wrestling team was composed mostly of younger, less exper- ienced members, their district record of 7-2 was an outstand- ing one. Although the team lacked the badly needed experience, every member put forth one-hun- dred percent effort. Light weight wrestlers were the team's strong point. Captain Pomeroy Brinkley, Co-captain Paul Jackson, John Allen, Gar- land Mosley, and Danny Har- graves were the leading scorers. The heavy weight wrestlers were good but there were not enough of them. Coaches Virgil King and Don Coccoli were major assets to the team's success. Their hard work and inspiration kept the team go- ing. '' The coaches were the back- bone of the team, said Pomeroy Brinkley, We could not have done it witout them. Even though they only won one match, the gymnastics team showed a promising future. They had the ability to place high in the district, but the lack of good equipment prevented much of the badly needed practice. Teri Gooding and Miss Sylvia Walker coached the girls.

Vernon Sam Alston and James Chuck- ie Knight aided the team with their excellent shooting. Batteling the boards for re- bounds, Frank James, Tom Hall and Gerald ''Mad Dog'' Moore made their contribution. Rebounds were an asset to the team be- cause they started the 'fast- break which was a Mariner Specialty. Coach George Walters was very pleased about the team's success. They hustled in every game and they really wanted to win, he said. ABOVE: Sharpening his shooting skills, J.V. player Danny Womack prepares him- self for the Varsity team.

This accom- plishment earned them a place in the Peninsula District Tourna- ment where they emerged the champions. The first two games really got the Mariners off to a good start. At the expence of Kec- oughtan and Bethel, Ferguson came away victorius. Their third game against Lafayette was a loss but their disappointment diminished when they came back and beat Warwick by three. As the season progressed, the team seemed to follow a pat- tern of winning a couple of games and then losing one. They never won more than five straight games. The losses, however, seemed to help them more than they hurt them. They pointed out mistakes being made and helped the team strengthen its weaknesses. Several outstanding players were produced. Vernon Alston, Larry Williams, and Charlie Peo- ples joined players from Phoebus, Hampton, and Menchville to make up the All-Tournament team. Charlie Peoples was also voted the honor of being the tourna- ment's Most Valuable Player. The Mariners went on to play Craddock for the regional title.

Team In First Place Led by high scorer Grant Rob- inson, the '76-'77 Junior Var- sity basketball team took first place in the district with a 13-0 record. Togetherness, along with a lot of hard work, was the major reason for their outstanding season. Grant Robinson let the offense with an average of seventeen points per game. He was followed by Anthony Pittman and Danny Womack with sixteen and Bernard Miller with thirteen. Greg Russ led the defensive team with an average of twelve rebounds. Another asset to the team's performance was the outstanding job done by Coach Ernie Cundiff. His leadership qualities and know- ledge of the game are what made the team the success it was.

Intramural Competition Unites Students, Faculty Following the success of Ferguson's three-year-old intra- murals program, a city wide pro- gram began in all high schools this year. Softball was played in the fall, ping-pong in the winter but plans for volleyball were de- layed because of no heat for the gym during the energy shortage. Boys and girls, faculty and stu- dents participated on the same teams with a growing program of activities. ABOVE: Coach Steve Webster umpires in the first softball game.

There were as many Y classes as R classes and both concentrated on teaching reading skills. Some of these classes wrote stories typed in big letters, made hard covers for them and later distributed them to local elementary schools. A non-college bound English program was introduced which provided practical skills for sen- iors who planned to terminate their education in June. No Hu- manities or World Literature classes were offered because seniors seemed to prefer not to have an extra hour of classes. The English Department acquired more material and a reading con- sultant to help students with reading problems. Students studied Latin, Ger- man, French and Spanish. Some levels of classes were taught in combined class periods because of small enrollments. Mrs. Kay Brown replaced Sam Sykes as department chairman.

Communication 95 Term Papers, Projects Send Students To Library Science projects, term papers, reports, and essays were research assignments given to students. These assignments were partic- ularly difficult in the fall because of the remodeling of the library. Many students were forced to seek outside help at the Public Li- brary and other neighboring school libraries. Students became frantic when teachers announced those two dreaded words, 'term paper. Some English teachers took clas- ses to the Christopher Newport Library for additional help in gathering research matierals. Sci- ence students were encouraged to make projects for the school- wide science fair held in January. TOP RIGHT: Engrossed with an article Suzie Daily reads intently.

Students in these classes ac- quired the Knowledge needed to earn a living or take care of a home properly. Industrial arts students learned the basic woodworking, metalworking and electronics skills. Design as well as con- struction was studied. Building projects provided a way to develop the newly acquired skills. Radios, tubetesters, ta- bles, and chairs were just a few of the many projects constructed. Home Economics students were taught how to run a home efficiently. They learned how to plan and cook a meal, make their own clothing, and do various other jobs associated with housekeeping. The child development class taught students about the prob- lems associated with raising a child. It was involved ina pro- ject to raise funds for the King's Daughter's Children's Hostital . Business students learned how an office operates. In addi- tion to typing, spelling and punc- tuation were stressed.

Senior Government classes explored topics of their choice by signing up for subjects they preferred to study second semester.

It is a time to ac- tively relax. Physical Educa- tion class taught us how to spend our leisure time. Jogging, exercise, and even tennis were probably first intro- duced to most students in a phys- ical education program in school. Activities taught at Ferguson included gymnastics, volley ball, ping-pong, basketball, slimnas- tics and numerous other sports.

Seniors were taken to see a film of MCBETH while they were studying Shakespeare in their English class. NJROTC visited ships and even spent sev- eral days at sea. One of the more exciting field trips was the fash- ion merchandizing trip to New York. They shopped in major department stores and toured the fashion district.

Exam Schedule Re- placed With New Test Policy Exams took a new twist this year as the pattern of an exam week with the possibility of ex- emption for an A or B average was replaced with a new idea. Hour tests were given when teachers felt they were appro- priate, and the form of the test was adapted to suit the type of subject matter. Students missed free time which the previous type of exams had given in the afternoons and on days when they were exempted from all tests. Report cards were alsochanged to a more complicated form which gave more information on work habits, study skills, and strengths and weaknesses.

Who were the people {who made Ferguson High School |what it was during that year? We were the people who sat through iclasses and taught them. We were the ones who played sports and ‘went to the games. We ate at bur- ger places and in the cafeteria, jwent to dances, planned them and | chaperoned them. Some people par- ticipated, some watched, and oth- ers ignored the whole thing, but we all did it our way. f Be b ay b ; 4 KC : ¥ BOVE: With arm aloft, Mr. Don Coccoli emphasizes an important point in American istory.

Cox. He had an adjusted work schedule so that he could meet residency requirements at William and Mary where he worked to earn his doctorial degree in educational administration. Because Mr. Cox was at Fer- guson for only part of the school day, Assistant Principal Tim Water became an associate prin- cipaland was given all of the day- to-day responsibility for the func- tioning of the entire school pro- gram. As he supervised all stu- dent discipline, student activities, and the general operation of the school, he was assisted by Robert Hearst. Hearst worked with Walter in a supporting role as an administrative assistant four hours each day and continued to work as a guidance counselor for two hours. The instructional program of the school was supervised by Assistant Principal Margaret Lane with emphasis on teaching to objectives, giving meaningful evaluations of student learning and using new, more extensive report cards. Student attendance, and text books were supervised byAssist- ant Principal David Barr.

They also helped by lowering class dues. A Halloween dance the Senior Class was sponsoring was cancelled at the last minute disappointing a few students who would have loved to be monsters for one night. In the midst of a year filled with expectation, the senior class was faced with a leadership conflict which almost cost the class a very good president. Even through this, they showed their concern for each other when their families were faced with prob- lems by sending expressions of sympathy. LARRY AKERS ANGELO ALSTON CARLTON ALSTON DECA 1,2,3.

Classes Squabble Over Place To Gobble Not realizing that Seniors alone are priveleged to eat where they please, the underclassmen this year invaded the Senior Cafe- teria and treated themselves to some off-campus lunchingas well. Infuriated Seniors fought to retain a segregated cafeteria, free from the nuisance of the under- classmen. Throughout the first weeks of school, Mr. Walters stationed himself bravely in the Senior eating area, ridding it of the undesirables. As if this was not enough, the Seniors announced every morning and afternoonthat the Senior Cafe- teria is so named because it is for Seniors. By mid-year, the battle was won and the cafeteria once again became the elite place to eat. Asserting their strength, the Seniors next planned to take over Amusement is shown by Sam Yu as Randy Hughbanks illustrates the stu- dents' opinion toward cafeteria food. the world.

An Annual Staff survey showed that seventy- five percent of the Senior Class planned to go to college or a vo- cational school. The other twenty- five percent were either unsure about their future, or planned to get a job or enter the military. Among those who were uncer- tain about their plans, most ex- pressed disappointment over their grades and SAT scores, and many didn't even take the SAT's. In addition to college and oth- er plans, about ten percent of the Seniors included marriage.

Placards and signs took the place of posters at the assembly before the Hampton game. Accom- panied by noisemakers and but- tons, the spectacle created by the class brightened up the gym and brought life and color to the assembly. The balloons and streamers at the spirit week pep assembly were the most original attempts to win the spirit stick, and they did just that. The Seniors proved that their spirit really was super.

The new class sponsor, Mr. Dwight Pink- ett, aided class efforts by arrang- ing for his father to print the calendars. The calendars were in the school colors and they listed such things as football and basketball games and dances. Most Juniors got involved and worked hard to sell the calendars. This money raised went toward financing the Ring Dance. Ring dance will be supported by the pro- fits of the activity calendar Kelly Shockly buys from Jimmy Barner. R.

Out walked the star of a French cook- ing show whose speciality of the day was Hampton Crabber Stew. A very strange assortment of ingredients including two crabby Hampton cheerleaders, a beat-up Hampton football player, and a fresh water crab were thrown into a large pot.

Filing down from their history classes, Juniors went to order class rings in October. Most were holding blank order forms and were confused about which type of ringto order.T he Junior class officers and the Jostens ringman tried to help with order forms and sizing rings. Completing the final step in ordering his ring, Mark Turner gets his finger sized. With the help of the class ring brochure, Shirley Darden fills out her order form.

Unsure of where to go, stu- dents were seated by guidance counselors, while the cafeteria hummed with conversation. The noise ceased when testing began. Even though the Juniors missed their first three clas- ses for the tests, after hours of filling in little dots, all were anxious for them to finish. Guidance counselor, Peggy Biggins, directs Regina Harris to testing area. Juniors 155 Mayo-T.

For the many Juniors that did help it was a lot of hard work. Some had to come to school early in. the morning to work on repairing the ring left from the year before. Juniors met at least twice a week to decide on the decorations, theme and most difficult of all, which band.

Where's my homeroom? were among the questions on the minds of the soph- omores on Orientation Day. Although Ferguson is a spacious building, Sophomores seemed to enjoy con- versing with each other, compacted in the lobby, 600 strong. Excitement of coming to a new school and the curiosity of not knowing where any- thing was, shone on their faces. By the end of the orientation program many Sophomores were aware of school policies and were looking forward to to the beginning of school the next day. Dazzled Sophomores greet each other after their exploration of Ferguson on Orientation Day. 162 Sophomores Baillio--Boothe Concentrating on finding their names, Mar- ion Germain and Karen Simpson look for their homeroom numbers on Orientation Day.

This was one of the smallest numbers to vote ina class election in Ferguson's history. The procedure for class elections was new to Sophomores. They were required to register to be eligible to vote. Speeches were given in an election assembly by nervous class- mates, even though the audience was less than polite. Students who had registered voted by secret ballot during their English classes. Trying to keep things running smoothly, Miss Fivel directs students towards voting area.

Wearing frumpy gymsuits, spend- ing an hour each day getting hot and sweaty, jumping into a cold shower, and racing to their next class were things that made a sophomore's life less than pleas- ant for one semester. And what did they get from all that? On the other hand, Drivers' Ed. was a class they were reward- ed in. They didn't mind reading L.

Johnson--Jones Sophomores Show Their Stutt In Homecoming Skit Dramatically inclined soph- omores Greg Russ and Brent Buck- les took the role of an unusually shaped Hampton Crabber in their skit for the HomecomingAssembly. A dwarfed and deformed Crab- ber ate his pudding, brushed his teeth, and in all his well-groomed splendor, recited his ABC's. The skit's final moments proved to be the most amusing when the ' sub- intelligent'’ Crabber matched his knowledge of the game against that of the Mighty Mariners. The Executive Board, vir- tually unsupported by their class in this endeavor, was responsible for the script and the acting. It all seemed worthwhile until one wise-cracking Sophomore told an actor that he should be on the stage--it leaves in five minutes. The hands of Greg Russ are the feet of this Crabber, and Kathy Wegener looks on as Brent Buckles tries to get the spoon on target.

Class members put up posters to decorate their hall. Few came dressed for little boy and girl day, but many came in bobby socks and pleated skirts for 50's day. During the pep as- sembly those in 50's costumes danced the jitterbug to Hop music. That night brave Sophomores fought the bitter wind at the Fer- guson-Warwick game.

Creating a yearbook is a lot of hard work. Pictures must be taken and printed. Copy must be written and typed, and captions, too. Photos and copy must be arranged on the page, and the pages must be arranged into the book according to the plan made in the beginning of the year. Then the whole thing is sent to the factory to be printed. But there are advantages. Flipping through all those 'mug Shots' gives a staff member a good look at every student in the school. Staff members work to- gether and become good friends because they always have some- thing to talk about. And while all the other students wait suspense- fully to find out, a staff member knows already what the yearbook will look like. Still, after all the work, we're glad we were the ones who got to doit. And we hope we didit... YOUR WAY!

Annual Staff Tries To Do It Your Way Annual Staff 207 The school year ended in its own way, for some witha crash, and for others with a quiet fiz- zle. It was the end of another year at Ferguson, but for some it was the end of high school al- together. And now, each of us has the rest of our lives to look back on the year whenwe... DID 1T OUR WAY! The Ferguson MARINER was litho- graphed by Josten's American Yearbook Company. The cover is light blue Edition- stamp, with white silkscreen applications, at a trim of 81 2x1l1. The typestyle is Register Gothic. The body copies are 10 pt., and the caption blocks are 8 pt. Sixteen pages of applied color are used; the applied color is blue and is used in 30%, 60%, and 100% on various pages. 715 copies of this 208-page book were printed.
