Competition Builds Pride for Mariners Sweat rolled off athletes’ faces as they competed to become first place teams in Cross-Country and Girl’s Ten- nis. Competition was not limited to Fer- guson’s athletes. The Key and Keyette Clubs battled to become Ferguson’s most active serv- ice club. Grade levels rivaled heavily during Spirit Week and at Pep Rallies. Each class decorated a hall, tried to be the most spirited at rallies and devised displays of confetti, banners and bal- loons in the continuous battle to be recognized as ‘‘Most Spirited Class.”’ For Mariners, competition turned hum-drum school days into days of fun and excitement. : os A ; J a - 2 a xe _ oy : oe b a a Br.

Spirit Rocks Gym A spirit-filled atmosphere grew from pep assemblies where stu- dents competed in jello eating, egg throwing, dancing and onion eating contests. Classes rocked the gym with shouts as each grade level tried to win cheering contests. Sophomores revolted juniors and seniors by showing more spirit and organization than was traditional for first year students. They succeeded in capturing all honors at the Spirit Week Pep Rally with their rowdy cheering and skillful tossing of eggs. Spirit turned to tears when juniors learned that seniors had won the hall decorating contest, but the vic- tory went unsung as the contest results were never announced to the student body. Vandalism was twisted into school spirit when students from arch-rival Warwick High School repeatedly painted Ferguson with bold red sym- bols of their feelings of superiority. ‘| Love Barbra, WHS is number one’’ and obscene drawings on nearly all exterior doors, windows, walls and the tower, greeted Mari- ners as they arrived at school the morning of the Ferguson-Warwick football game. A return batch of blue paint was bestowed on Warwick as Mariners also became vandals. 4 Nobody CanDolt... | SASHA SAAR AAT RAE HORE OLE NERO PE REAESE ISOS IE BELEP LEY SARS OMLEE LEEDS RAL SISO TE a TOP LEFT: Spirited Seniors make sure everyone hopeful she is the one that is loved, but the graff- knows who they are at a football pep rally.

I A A samlamtiaag AOE See TNORE artic aaa Jobs Earn Cash The high cost of fun drove Mariners to seek jobs. Most seniors left school after fourth period to work and many underclassmen were in work programs or worked evenings and weekends. Cooking burgers and fries, ringing cash registers, selling shoes and cloth- ing, cleaning motel rooms and making deliveries all were sources of ready cash for Mariners in time of inflated costs of movies, concerts, pizzas and clothes. Working students tried to juggle homework, a social life, the job and sleep. Dozing off in history class or cutting school to finish a paper for Mrs. Anthony wére symptoms of the conflict between the job and homework. Miss- ing a party at a friend’s house because of working was probably the biggest sacrifice a Mariner made, and it was all ABOVE: Returned books pile up as Christine .

BELOW: Seniors let it all hang out as they show their Mariner Maniac Embodies Spirit Sparking mania wherever it struck, “Mariner Mania”’ still afflicted all Mari- ners. That special wild and crazy feeling was likely to strike at any moment, but especially at dances, pep rallies, games, assemblies and in the cafeteria. ‘‘Mania”’ was on the rise at the Home- coming Assembly when Ferguson's auditorium suddenly became ‘‘Friday Morning Live’ with Lisa Lupner looking for a date to the FHS dance and Rose- anna Danna revealing how much ‘‘Coke Adds Life’’ means to President Jimmy Carter. David Shank’s lovely pink evening gown and frosted wig made him a pretty Homecoming dance date for Tommy Highsmith, and ‘‘Mariner Mania’ had struck again. Pep rallies were the scene of rice and confetti fights between juniors and sen- iors, and it was there that the ‘Mariner Maniac’”’ first appeared. From his crum- pled sailor’s hat, blue satin cape, Maniac T-shirt and worn tennis shoes, to the moron-like grin on his face, Ted Young had embodied the spirit of ‘‘Mari- ner Mania.” Like the Mariners Can 9 RIGHT: Strings class gives Arnez Wesson a chance to persue his interest in music.

Workshops were organized in English classes to teach consumer skills for students struggling to pass the State Competency Test and other work- shops prepared college bound stu- dents to take SAT’s. Social studies and English classes all had new textbooks which were up- to-date enough to include contempo- rary figures such as Margaret Thatcher and Jimmy Carter. Social Studies teachers were pleased that the new books were on a twelfth grade reading level rather than college level as the old books had been. The loss of one of the new books was a tragedy as each of them cost ten dollars or more. Concern for energy conservation prompted the School Board to elimi- nate field trips which required trans- portation. Marine Biology students walked to a swampy area in the Museum Park instead of their usual trip to the York River. Ecology students walked to examine environments in the Museum Park and Home Ec students walked across Warwick Boulevard to sample Chinese food during a lunch time outing. 10 Nobody Can Dolt...

Friends Share Laughter, Tears Friends were the special people Mariners felt most comfortable with. Groups with similar interests, classes and values enjoyed each other because, as one student said, ‘‘l find my friends at Ferguson to be people who take me for what | am, not judging me in any way.”’ If it was a shoulder to cry on because he was taking someone else to Ring Dance, a friend to share memories of Cruising Atlantic Avenue, a chance to joke about Danny Nelms’ imitations of others students, or a kind offer of a ride home from school, friends were invalu- able.

Winter _ murals covering one side of the cafete- ria were the result of hours of prepara- _ tion which ended the morning of the dance in a decorating marathon which began before most juniors were usu- ally awake. The theme, committees and band were voted on during their _ early morning class meetings. To complete the theme, “‘If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words, Then Why Can't | Paint You?’’ Sherri Kolensky painted a symbolic portrait in oils of a . girl looking into a shaded picture. Streamers and mistletoe were also hung from the ceilings and tables were decorated with candles and ever- greens. The exchange of class rings and kisses took place under the traditional ring which was trimmed with tiny white Christmas lights. Doug Cantu and Blaine Johnson, who was on crutches at the time, announced each couple coming through. After everyone was finished going through the ring, Jun- iors posed for their pictures, stared at their hands in amazement, ran to their friends to “turn their rings’’ and then continued to dance the night away.

It was not until mid-week that students knew what the theme of the _ day was and began regressing to child- hood by dressing in little kiddie clothes, complete with name tags __ bearing bus number or homeroom. ___On one very puzzling day, various “Two. of a Kinds’ were scattered through the school, having to leave _ their clones for Twin Day behind to attendclass. _ _ An addition to Spirit Week was Six- ty’ s Day replacing the common nostal- _ gia of the fifties. Instead of ‘‘Fonzies’’ and ‘“‘bobbie-sockers,”’ anti-war hip- pies, flower children and peace mak- ers strumming guitars all joined in to show their spirit. On Friday, class competition raged at the pep rally. Sophomores surprised _ juniors and seniors by winning the. spirit contest. After the cheerleaders _ and drill team performed, seven flasher seniors entertained Mariners by moon- | _ing the crowd with the letters ‘“S-E-N-I- _ O-R-S,” embellishing their drawers. _Juniors sported a class clown, and their Mariner-Maniac stepped out “Clark Kent style” in his Mariner cap and Cape. Hall decorations competition gave classes a way to show spirit. Juniors had to practically fight to keep their own classmates from stealing their bal- loons and decorations before their hall was judged. Sophomores, lacking experience in the event, left many areas of their hall undecorated. Finally, the Senior hall won the contest, which outraged juniors who called the sen- jor’s victory a decision by the judges to follow tradition by allowing seniors to win rather than judging on the merit of the decorations. _ Spirit week closed with the Blue and White Day and the Warwick football game. Greeting Mariners that morning _as they arrived at school was “WHS is 1°’sprayed over most of the first floor doors and windows in Warwick's red _school colors. Even the clock tower _and front steps did not escape the van- dalism of the rival school who also ‘Sprayed profanity and obscene draw- ings on the building. School board estimates for cleaning the paint from the building ran from one to three thousand dollars, but the paint was finally removed. - LEFT PAGE — TOP LEFT: Recess calls s tarnny Wescott, Katy Phillips, JoAnne McNamara, Tracy Jones, Sherri Kolinsky and Laurie Zittrain on Lit- tle Kids Day.

Spirit Week 21 oe AS oe ae 22 ANight of One Acts See ree 4 serine cet i i { | Drama's Presentation of One Acts Brings a Variety of Theater to FHS For a change of pace from the usual _ traditional serious three-act dramatic presentation in mid-winter, the Drama _Club chose to present a night of one act plays. Under the direction of Spon- sor Patricia Quinn, the group chose four plays, each representing a distinct form of drama. _ The first of the four, “Sandbox ’ was done in the theatre of the absurd style. Next, was ‘Hiss the Villain,’ a melo- drama complete with a hero anda mean, vicious villain who was often _booed and hissed by the audience. Third, was ‘Impromptu,’ which was originally a third period class project dealing with actors and improvisation. Last, was the ‘Celebration of the _ Destruction of Man.” This was also a. theatre of the absurd type of one-act. It was used years ago, in a statewide drama competition. This drama explained man’s steps of destruction through primitive man, the Renais- sance, Hitler's Germany, and finally, today’s generation. The One-Acts gave students a better chance of being chosen for a role because of the greater number of parts played according to Miss Quinn. After the last night of the play, the cast and crews tore down the set, put away the props and costumes, auto- graphed each other’s programs, con- gratulated each other and headed for the cast party to celebrate their suc- cess.

The snow caused S some problems for the girls because, with the closing of schools for several 2 days, they missed several rehearsals. _ But pageant chairman Georgia Yamaki's philosophy was that ete must go on, and it did. .

Their crazy antics included twirling a top hat and cane, throwing flowers to the audi- ence, and displaying a phone number on the back of a tux. - Finally, five finalists were chosen. Each girl was required to answer a question so that the judges could eval- uate her ability to express herself.

Dances 27 28 Assemblies Assemblies Bring a Welcome Break from Class and Daily Routine Assembly days were planned in the _ hope of making Ferguson students | excited and carefree. Assemblies offered needed breaks to monotony of daily class schedules. lt seemed, even _if the assembly was boring, the stu- _ dents welcome an hour out of class. The annual Christmas, SCA Election, | : Homecoming and NHS assemblies - sometimes lasted for well over an hour, eliminating usually more than one full. class period. Students in second assembly session usually felt cheated and deprived of full assemblies that sometimes had to be cut because of lack of time to snow the whole Bieg am : fe : a Opera offered students an array of One Pacer Seerbly by the. Earth popular music which created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Some students, however, felt that the band was degrading to popular rock music. Mini-concerts presented by elective classes offered a look at Ferguson’s own student talent. The concerts were by invitation only and usually were attended by related elective classes. Assemblies also became a time for Jearning when two professors from VMI came to Ferguson to demonstrate physics and chemistry experiments. Cheerleaders felt that Pep assem- blies seemed to be on the downfall. They said students looked at the Pep assemblies as simply a way to get out of class rather than an outlet for school spirit and support. ‘CLOCKWISE FROM TOP — _ LEFT PAGE: In an afternoon Pep assembly, FHS cheerleaders raise spirit for an upcoming game.

Old favorites, such as Burt Reynolds and Robert Redford, hung onto their titles while a new and surprisingly pretty Miss Piggy from the Muppet Movie became the favorite female personal- ity. A rising interest in country rock, number one in the music poll, was even demonstrated in dress style both on an off campus with cowboy hats, boots and other country-like attire. “Still” by the Commodores claimed first place in the favorite song cate- gory, while ‘‘In Through The Out Door’”’ was the favorite album. In concert however, Molly Hatchet satisfied stu- dents the most and also went on to win favorite musical group. Students reflected their interest in LEFT PAGE — TOP: Movie postersdraw stu- dents’ attention to popular films such as Bette Midler’s ‘‘The Rose.’’ BOTTOM: Ferguson’s most popular female personality Miss Piggy and escort, Kermit the Frog, salute adoring Mariners. humor rather than a serious attitude in their choice for favorite television and movie categories. ‘‘Mork and Mindy’”’ took first place for television and the satirical movie ‘‘Animal House’”’ served as an example for the rowdier college- bound Ferguson students. Football and Partying proved to be the favorite hobbies for Mariners; while Erik Estrada took first place in stu- dents’ favorite hero. There was so much in the news con- cerning negative political leaders that students polled showed that they enjoyed the personalities of such fig- ures as the evil Ayatollah Khomeini even though they would not want them as the leader of their own country. Although much controversy concern- ing Ted Kennedy and his past contin- ued, Mariners voted him as favorite political personality.

The SCA was kept busy hosting city- wide SCA meetings in addition to Toys for Tots, a canned food drive, dough- nut sale, Homecoming and After-Exam Jam. The newly organized Student Advi- sory Committe was developed in order to produce closer communication between students and faculty. The committee, composed of twelve stu- dents, met regularly every month to find solutions to problems. A Season's Greetings banner for the school was constructed by the SAC and another of their contributions was helping high school students keep their driving priv- ileges.

The Science Club, under the direction of Mrs. Betty Sharpe, held the annual science fair. As a state project, they experimented with light and heat audits to help conserve energy for the school. Miss Annette Rimkus sponsored the Writer's Club, which was a newly formed club. Since the activity buses ran only on Monday and Wednesday, many people had other things planned and the club did not think they were as successful as they had hoped because it was difficult to get people to stay for meetings. The Math Club sponsored students who were in city and state math com- petitions. The club hoped to raise funds to buy computer time for mem- bers interested in programming. Future Homemakers of America gave a party for children at a near-by kindergarten. As an annual fundraiser, they sold calendars for the Children’s E | Hospital for the King’s Daughters.

Society Expands With New Members The National Honor Society grew by leaps and bounds because in Decem- ber there were more inductees than old members. There were only six sen- iors as members before the induction ceremony when ten more joined the ranks of the society. Members were chosen on the basis of their scholar- ship, character, leadership, and serv- ice to the school. A few days after the induction cere- mony all of the members and the fac- ulty sponsors, Mr. Don Coccoli and Mrs. Ora Brinkley, went to Sammy’s Steak House for a luncheon.

Everyone, even the old members and the sponsors, joined in to help sing the ‘‘Twelve Days of Christmas.”’ Also at the luncheon, the inductees were cautioned about maintaining their grades and their qualifications for getting into the society so they could remain members and be an inspiration for other students of Ferguson to strive for excellence in academics and serv- ice. ee LEFT: Carefully, Jennifer Lewis places her can- dle in the rack at the NHS induction ceremony.

National Honor Society 45 Backstage Crews Support Drama Drama Club, one of the largest school activities, had an active and versatile year. President and Stage Manager Chris Kelly, led the active group. To raise desperately needed money, members spent weekends working backstage for community bal- let performances. They also sold Drama sweaters and later, oranges and grapefruit to help finance the spring musical. Under the direction of Sponsor Patri- Cia Quinn, students auditioned for roles in the four one acts that were pre- sented in late January. To fill a variety of backstage jobs, students signed up for different crews such as stage, lights, props, make-up or tickets. From there, they were known as ‘‘techies”’ and were quite proud of the name, sometimes wearing tags with the word drawn in bright, bold colors to be seen by everyone. Miss Quinn’s three drama classes and Stagecraft class helped backstage for all assemblies. Drama Club also had a number of crews working back- stage for Miss Mariner and other spe- Cial events. After the night of one acts, a few Drama students became Apprentice Thespians, an honor which came to them after a lot of hard work and expe- rience in drama.

New types of service projects undertaken by the Keyettes included adopting two elderly citizens and making several visits to a local nursing home.

In school they hosted their annual dance and sold carnations for St. Patrick’s Day. The membership was the largest in Ferguson’s history, making the club one of the largest in the state. Sopho- mores and juniors formed the bulk of the club. Weekly meetings were high- lighted by appearances by various guest speakers, including Roberta Nic- holls, providing an incentive that resulted in much higher attendance than in years past. Newspaper staffers learned writing skills in journalism class and produced the school paper as a Class project. Financing the newspaper continued to be a problem as the paper was sup- ported entirely by advertising and school funds as no subscriptions were sold. A special issue was produced to publicize the elective fair held in Feb- ruary. Copies were mailed home to all Ferguson underclass students and Newport News Intermediate students.

Selling the book and ads were an additional challenge to the staff which hoped to cover the school year more thoroughly and finish earlier than they had ever done before. Sale of books was slow as students had been disappointed by the summer delivery of the ‘79 book. The staff regretted not having given an assem- bly to increase interest in the book and not having raised the price of the book to match prices at other Newport News schools where sales opened at four- teen dollars a copy. A crisis arose when the junior sec- tion disappeared from Karen Jordan’s locker. Having stored it in a shirt box, she imagined someone broke into her locker thinking they were stealing a nice Christmas shirt or sweater. All ended happily a few hours later when Mark Hubert found the scrambled sec- tion in a trash can in the boy’s bath- room near Karen’s locker. Portraits of students arrived late from the professional photographer giving the staff the problem of no pic- tures to meet deadlines with. Candid pictures were done by the photogra- phy class which did help the staff get more pictures to choose from than in the past. McDonald’s Incorporated gave per- mission for the staff to use its slogan which editors Jennifer Lewis and Ann Mayhew felt helped them to visually display Mariner Spirit in the book.

Mariners March in Oyster Parade Ferguson’s Mariner Marching Band's season opened with a special event. Between regular home football games and their special half-time shows, the band participated in Nor- folk’s Oyster Bowl Parade, even receiving a little bit of TV coverage. Under the direction of Mr. Herring, the band played at other special events such as the Homecoming assembly, Christmas Concert, Band Festival, and the Spring Concert. Tryouts for Regionals was held on Ferguson’s own home ground, Decem- ber 8. Senior David Evans and Junior Ted Young who both played in the trumpet section, received honors as they were picked among other supe- rior high school students to be in the Regional Band. A portion of the band formed the Stage Band, which played for the Miss Mariner Contest and held a mini-con- cert in January. The Stage Band was mainly composed of superior band stu- dents who practiced after school every week. They specialized in jazzy and music from the ‘‘Big Band Era.”’ LEFT: Proving that ‘Drummers do it in Rhythm,” Mark Strother entertains students before a pep rally.

Band 55 Drill Team, Pepsters Generate Spirit Athlet ic events were more lively and colorful when the Drill Team and Pep Club participated. Peppy routines and special cheers were their contrib- utions. Much improvement was noticed in the Drill Team by their sponsor Miss Sue Johnson. She attributed this improvement ‘‘to the hard work that they did during the summer and during the school year.” In the summer, the Drill Team attended camp at William and Mary College. At the camp they learned new rou- tines and marching techniques. When the camp ended, each of the girls was judged on what she had learned and the team as a whole was judged on its home routine and spirit. Ferguson’s team walked away with excellence rib- bons and a spirit pom. When the school year began, the Drill Team used routines, ideas, and steps they had learned at camp to make their performances more excit- ing. The Pep Club backed up the cheer- leaders and according to their spon- sor, Miss Ethel Lewis, they added “extra pep’ to pep assemblies, football games, and basketball games. The Pep Club sold candles to raise money for admission to some games and for dinner when they stayed late at school to practice.

Exploring electronics, cosmetology, and occupational therapy, VICA pro- vided an introduction to the working world. An employee-employer banquet was held in the spring, and they also planned to tour the General Motors Plant in Maryland. Some business students were mem- bers of the co-curricula organization, FBLA. Students participated in local, regional and state competitive events involving salesmanship, short-hand, accounting, math and typing skills. FBLA won several local and regional awards and was cited as an Honor’s Chapter at the State competition. Monthly meetings and guest speak- ers were some of DECA’s activities. They sold candy and stationary prod- ucts as their main fundraisers. DECA’s club project was an in school fashion show. ABOVE: FBLA members discuss a club project as Sponsor Claretta Smith looks on.

The team managed to post only one win in ten attempts for their new coach. The one bright spot was their closing thras- ing of Suffolk, 50 to 8. According to Coach Bacote, the major reason for the poor record was the team’s inability to produce an acceptable offense and defense at the same time. Also pointed out was the stress placed upon players forced to play both offense and defense and an early season weakness at quarterback, which was solved by placing Vernon Minor in this position. Blame for poor performances could not be placed entirely on the team as they received very little school sup- port. Students did show their support during pep rallies but when it came to the games there were times when it seemed more people were on the field than there were in the stands. 66 Varsity Football ABOVE: Mariners attentively watch their fellow teammates take a brutal beating on the field.

It was due primarily to new runners.” Captain Anthony Phillips “Isn't that guy a little old to be ona high school cross country team?’’ might have been the question rolling around the minds of the people who watched the cross country team prac- tice. Coach Jim Ryan often ran along with the team when they ran anywhere from six to nine miles during practice. ‘“‘The boys worked extremely well together,’’ was Coach Ryan’s com- ment about the students’ attitudes. Players encouraged each other and stuck together even through the rough spots in the season. They placed sec- ond in the district, surpassed only by Denbigh High School. Top runners: Anthony Phillips, senior; Steven Wyche and Andrew Hawkens, both sopho- 72 Cross Country mores; led the team to victory at the regional meet. Why did the Mariners win the regional meet but lose the district meet? The answer to this question lays in the type of terrain each meet was held on. The district meet was held at Newport News City Park which was extremely hilly, while the regional meet was held on flat ground. Ferguson Mariners, mostly half-milers and mil- ers, were uSed to running on flat tracks and perform much better on such tracks. The state meet was also held in a hilly location, Charlottesville, VA. This terrain once again prevented Mar- iners’ cross country team from achiev- ing a winning performance. ——, ABOVE: While crossing the finish line, determi- nation sets in on Gary Davis’ face.

Coach Jane Preston Injuries and lack of interest were major reasons for the field hockey team’s winless season, according to Coach Jane Preston. Although the team started the year with a good showing, Coach Preston said that many players soon quit when the nov- elty wore off. The team’s unsuccessful season could not be solely attributed to the players as they felt that the team did not receive the support that it deserved from the student body. The girls that jee ee ld remained tried hard and practiced well, but the confidence it took to win just was not there. There were enough dedicated play- ers to form a junior varsity team also, but Coach Preston and Coach Patricia Quinn decided to focus on improving the existing varsity team instead of forming an additional team. Both coaches said that they were extremely pleased with the improve- ment the sophomore players made and with the diligence of the junior and senior APY ‘o wt LEFT: In the final seconds of the Gloucester game, Kim Walz lunges for the ball.

Coach Linda Phillips described the nine-player squad as “‘a good little team.’’ She said, ‘‘They really worked hard and performed well.’’ Coach Phillips was pleased with “the good team atmosphere.’ She adds that the team had a good attitude, really stuck in there, fought for every point, and never gave up. She said they really did their best. They came very close to taking the district title. ‘“They missed it by one match,’’ reflected Coach Phillips. The deciding match, against Lafay- ette High School, was called for dark- ness at 5-2 against Ferguson. This was the team’s only loss, giving them an excellent 9-1 overall team record. The team came through with a 7-1 perform- ance in the District Tournament. Senior Cathy Wilcox’s third year on the team turned out to be her best. She said she really enjoyed playing on the team and she felt the team performed very well, but still could have done bet- ter by beating Lafayette. Linda Lair, also a senior, felt that the girls tried their best because everyone wanted to win, “it meant a lot to us.”’ Also in her third year, Linda faired very well, only losing four matches in her team career.

Girls’ Tennis 77 Girls’ Skills, Leadership Improve “We've come a long way, but we have a long way to go. Coach Cynthia Taylor A much improved Girl’s Basketball Team took to the court with the leader- ship of senior Dyveta Whitaker. Coach Cynthia Taylor felt that at the roots of their successes and failures were the players’ attitudes, ‘‘When the team performed with a winning attitude the scoreboard usually reflected it.” However, several key games were lost because of the absence of this winning spirit. Key players, Beverly Bailey, Barbara McMillian, Carol Mcintosh, Tiajuna Minor and Captain Dyveta Whitaker have all improved over the course of the season. ‘‘Not only did their atti- tudes improve, but their skills also improved greatly ... they are starting to get more involved,” said Coach Tay- lor. What made the player’s skills improve? The girls practiced on their own through the month of October and because of that they were ready to do some serious team practicing when the official practice started November first.

This oepning loss was a possible factor in the absence of student’s par- ticipation at the games. Quite a few of the students felt that the school’s pride, that had been gained by the pre- ceding year’s teams, was lost. This apathy, on the part of the students caused the team to lose their confi- dence, a major asset towards winning. Co-captains Paul Keyes and Derik Anthony, both seniors, tried to hold the team together with their experience and leadership, but the leadership soon fell after the controversial resig- nation of Derik Anthony towards the end of the season. This loss of leader- ship was soon compensated for with the appointment of Gerry Lowther to co-captain. Junior Doosie Richardson turned in the most impressive and consistent performance of any team member, remarked Coach Walters. Seniors Paul Keyes, Donnie Collins and Joe Holland put forth inconsistent, yet notable per- formances, according to Coach Wal- ters.

Fer- guson students were offered free tick- ets to the game held at the Hampton Coliseum. Old Dominion University furthered its invitation by inviting the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders to cheer along with the ODU cheerleaders. The same spirit that filled the Ferguson 82 Grant Robinson Day High School Gymnasium when Grant Robinson gained control of the ball was present at the Coliseum. Grant just touched the ball and students cheered him on, and when he scored, which he did quite a few times, his loyal fans were ecstatic. Old Dominion did win the game, but narrowly. The game remained one sided, in favor of ODU until the last few minutes when VCU advanced rapidly and almost won.

They went into the regional tourna- ment with high hopes, but were put to rest when Menchville thrashed Fergu- son to win. ‘‘They had too much depth,’’ was Coach Ted Bacote’s remark about Menchville’s win. The Mariners did, however, claim the most first places at the regionals, but just could not overcome the Monarchs set 88 Indoor Track in depth. First place winners were Anthony Phillips, two-mile; Elton Brown, 600 yards; Kenny Debrew, 1000 yards.

Administration 99 Wiring, Designing Cooking, Sewing, All in Preparation for the Future 100 Home Arts Home Economics classes were kept busy with a year of varied subjects. In addition to ‘‘normal’’ Home Ec. topics of study such as foods and nutrition, clothing, cooking, planning parties, and wardrobe planning, students learned to budget their money, and to adjust themselves socially to new envi- ronments. A child-care development course was Offered to learn about the behavior of children and how to manage them. Children’s mental and physical growth were observed and compared. According to Home Ec. teachers, classes were popular with boys as well as girls. One class consisted of 20 boys and only three girls. Cooking served as a basic survival class for the guys who took it, and Mrs. Braxton felt it would benefit them when they are out on their own. Marriage and Family was such a popular class that people were turned away. Major problems of marriages were discussed and possible solutions were worked out. Students learned to better equip themselves for the ups and downs of marriage and family life. Electronics classes covered theories such as the Electron Theory, Olm’s Law, and Resistor Color Codes. Pro- jects were constructed, building such things as amplifiers, metronomes and glass tube continuity checkers. Another activity completed by students was to draw electronic diagrams and then following the diagrams to wire cir- Cuits. Specially recommended for future engineers, architects or tradesmen, the Mechanical Drawing class pro- vided the opportunity to experience the basics of the industrial and techni- cal world. They gained a background of skills necessary for mechanical drawing or drafting. Metalworking tools, machines and basic processes were used by General Metalwork to design projects which involved the use of latches, welders, foundry and sheetmetal fabrication. Power and Transporation Technol- ogy, a new class, surveyed various sources of energy and power used in transporation systems. Career oppor- tunities in the transporation fields were explored, and students repaired small engines and conducted experiments with devices such as electric and out- board motors.

Girls and boys learned to work together better in team sports during the second year of co-ed P.E. classes, and more students dressed out and paid their gym fees than ever before. The reason for this could have been that Assistant Principle Jerry Turley sent non-dressers to in-school suspen- sion. Coach Walters made it clear from the start, that the gym was not open to people skipping classes or at lunch. Coach Hott and Miss Phillips shared an office in the small girl’s gym (stu- dents were requested to knock before entering) according to Coach Walters, and Coaches Ted Bacote and Donald Moore were welcomed to the P.E. staff. Coach Walters said Health classes were placed in the good ‘‘clean’”’ hands of Coach Bacote and Mrs. Jackie Johnson. Students who took health learned not only about the body, but how it is affected by things such as alchohol and drugs, good nutrition and excessive pressure. Students learned how to better understand their emo- tions and those of other people. They also learned symptoms and prevention of Venereal Disease. In Driver’s Education, students learned traffic laws and good driving habits through the use of pamphlets, film, and the textbook. Miss Phillips said the Seat-Belt Convincer con- vinced a lot of students to wear seat belts.

Whether the English class was reme- dial, average or accelerated, new stress was placed on composition and reading skills. New vocabulary books specialized in exercises like those that were found on SATs. The competency tests to pass high school presented another roadblock to graduation and students were offered English for which a main purpose was to help them gain skills to pass the tests. Composition classes were practi- cally filled because most students real- ized the advantage they offered for English classes as well as for college. Beginning Composition classes stud- ied different types of paragraphs and worked mainly on five paragraph essays. Advanced Composition classes studied the more serious types of writing, including literary analysis and character analysis. Students tak- ing composition classes agreed that it would give them a “jump” ahead in college. Even after taking years of English not everyone was totally sure of them- selves when it came to knowing the best ways to study. Study Skills class taught how to study more efficiently and how to speed read. Mrs. Leslie Brooks took over the job of the previ- ous reading consultant, Mrs. Alice Seaman. She also taught a class each week in competency skills, such as reading labels and filling out tax forms. Drama class gave students a chance for students unlimited creative expres- sion as opposed to the structured atmosphere of an English class. Stu- dents learned the different acting tech- niques that the theater deals with. Voice projection, ad-libbing, blocking and character development were just some of the things that drama classes taught to the up-and-coming actors of Ferguson. Reading Skills and Composition Take Priority in English Class English 107 Teachers in the Foreign Language Department built enthusiasm by using imagination and activities to involve all language students. Each language picked one student each month to rep- resent them in the ‘‘Language Stu- dents of the Month” showcase located on the second floor of the new build- ing. The top students of the month had their pictures taken and a small para- graph was written about them. All lan- guage classes were invited to the Inter- national Banquet where students had the opportunity to sample food from all different cultures. Spanish classes welcomed a new teacher, Miss Maryanne Pantas to the department. New textbooks and audio- lingual methods of teaching were used. In honor of Energy Conservation Culture, History Week, the language hall was deco- rated with posters written in Spanish iving tips on energy conservation. Part of Language The highlight ane year in French class was a trip to Paris and the French Study aS Well aS Riviera. Chaperoned by Mr. Sam Sykes, five Mariners went to France e with French students from other area Vocabulary Drills schools. There was more concen- trated effort in third and fourth year French classes to prepare for college placement tests, and a more system- atic approach to the study of philoso- phy was used to help make the inform- ation more valuable in college. Latin classes were involved in cre- ative projects such as building a char- ABOVE: Mickey Mouse helps Spanish stu- : “Ab? ‘ dents Cathy Hatcher and Coral Salasky to iot to race Warwick’s Latin students. learn vocabulary’ BELOW: Happyiicshowien On April 21, a banquet was held to France, Mr. Sam Sykes shows Ann Bryant commemorate the founding of Rome, and Kathy Pociluyko where wine is made. which took place on April 21, 753 B.C. Some Latin students said that the Latin they learned, helped them identify English words and possibly score higher on SAT’s. According to Mrs. Helen Riley, Ger- man classes were set back by many factors. Inadequate textbooks were used and the total number of students who took German was only nine. Mrs. Riley, who was required to travel to three different schools daily, felt she did not have time to put together a pro- gram for all the classes. In her own words, Mrs. Riley summed up the goal of the German classes; ‘‘We are just trying to survive.” 108 Foreign Language Griffin-Hodges ABOVE: Latin students Todd Hartless, Janis Broad and Jackie Miller see if reading Latin upside down is any easier.

Mariners generally agreed that math was their hardest subject, and each had his own method of passing. Sitting next to the smartest person in class frequently gave them The library, cafeteria and other class- “cramming” before a test. The math teachers were especially helpful when after school. new Class, Basic Math, was added. This new class was formed to help stu- dents pass the minimum competency test in math.

Gifted students from the FHS art class went to Mariners Museum for extra help in their art career. Instruc- tors for the PAA gave them an expanded experience in painting, drawing and other activities. These students were selected because of tal- ent and they were developing a lifetime interest in art. Art classes at FHS continued the stu- dent rotation program to keep the art program interesting. Students did many activities involving coordination and imagination. They made ceramic sculptures, macrame, and jewelry. Art teacher Mrs. Carolyn Shird said, ‘‘We are not trained artists, but we tried to build the students interest.’’ She also - said ‘‘We need more funds and sup- plies for our students, we run out very quickly.”” The other art teacher Mrs. Dorothy Edwards, said, ‘‘! feel positive toward my students; they gain experi- ence from the art program.” Many students participated in the Pops Orchestra led by Mrs. Diane Chapman. The student body was expo- sed to the music and responded with warm applause. Mrs. Chapman also taught strings. Her students learned aspects of music through literature which she broke down into theory, technique and history. Some of her students played in the Tidewater Regional Orchestra. There were many other types of music classes available at FHS. Mrs. Bonnie Johnson taught choir, vocal music and directed the Ferguson Sing- ers. Mrs. Johnson hoped to inspire her students to continue their music edu- cation in college. She said, ‘‘| hope the energy situation improves because | love singing engagements for my stu- dents during the day to improve public relations for the school in the commu- nity.” ABOVE: Art class provides a Ferguson student with the opportunity to paint a clay figure.

BELOW: At Ferguson’s Sci- ence Fair Lori Hollowell explains her science project to the judge, Mrs. Deborah Kennedy. Whether the class was Marine Biol- ogy, Zoology, Biology, or Ecology, stu- dents explored science in different and interesting ways. Labs were done with microscopes, and dissections gave a better understanding of the internal organs of animals. Discussions in small groups took place in all the sci- ence classes. Most Science teachers required stu- dents to make a science project, the best of which went into the science fair. Field trips to the woods of the Mar- iner’'s Museum served as a chance to observe nature. The Marine Biology classes had a year of interesting field trips and activi- ties. Field trips to the marsh were taken to compare the fall marsh with the win- ter marsh. At the Mariner’s Museum, students participated in a series of eight weekly programs on the following topics: maritime history, paintings, small crafts, Chesapeake Bay, scrim- shaw, and a speech given by a Water- man. In April, a Saturday canoe trip on the Poquoson River was enjoyed by Marine Biology classes. The classes made use of their close resource, the James River, by taking a walking trip to study the spring salt marsh. Chemistry class dealt quite a blow to students at FHS. In addition to labs, experiments, and numerous assign- ments, they were expected to do sci- ence projects first semester and a term paper second semester. Chemical laws had to be learned and chemical equations were balanced. By the end of the year, students had mastered the periodic table and were familiar with the elements. Class demonstrations and labs made up a large part of the Physics classes. In January, two professors from VMI led demonstrations of physics princi- ples, and afterwards students were allowed to try the experiments them- selves in Physics classes. Field Trips, Labs Science Projects Offer Students Ways to Explore Science Through Debates, Guests, Assemblies Students Examine Political Issues 116 Social Studies Using community resour ces, stu- dents enriched their learning beyond the classroom. Field trips, guest speak- ers, and the newly formed model United Nations brought the community to the students. For elections, a political assembly was presented, with all the candidates for the General Assembly from the sec- ond district. The candidates were interviewed by a panel of representa- tives from the news media and the stu- dent press. A model United Nations was formed which met weekly and discussed and analyzed pressing issues before the United Nations. Early in May, students from William and Mary Law School and members of the Newport News Bar Association presented a special program on law for government students. Government classes presented a special unit on Consumer education and later in the year were active in debates on pressing issues such as energy and the Salt II Treaty. ment in Vietnam.

Ae jim pay: @ Agen, HN “ eo” | 1.99 oe In addition to traditional school courses, three alternatives were also offered. These were Point Option, Pro- ject Stay, and a Vo-Tech. Project Stay was geared for those students who dropped out of school, or were considering it. It helped stu- dents develop social skills, and funda- mental knowledge necessary to enter and succeed in the working world. The program consisted of English and mathematics with vocational training as well. Point Option was an alternative pro- gram for students, grades nine through twelve, who desired a more flexible and less traditional educational pro- gram. Although Point Option was ungraded an operated on a quarter system, students at Point Option had to meet the same requirements for gradu- ation as the students at Ferguson did. Students could earn elective credits by helping the elderly, tutoring handicap- ped children, working in a museum, volunteering at an animal shelter or any community-oriented project. The Peninsula Vocational Technical Center, better Known as Vo-Tech, offered those students who wanted to pursue a trade, the training needed to do so. Located in Hampton, Vo-Tech was attended by 57 Ferguson students for three class periods a day. In addi- tion to trade courses, health occupa- tions, horticulture and food courses were also offered. In the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, which was instructed by Lt. John P. Gregor and assistant Master Chief Groves, cadets learned about the policies of the Navy and the military in general. They studied meteorology, history, navigation, and leadership. They went on field trips to various military installations to get a first-hand view of military life. A small number of cadets attended scheduled eight or ten day cruises on Navy ships. NJROTC Drill Team competed in four drill meets, some local and some at the state level. The color guard par- ticipated at home football games. Academics, Skills Personal Interests Combine to Meet Individual Needs Alternatives 119 Checking out books and showing students how to work copy making machines were a few jobs of the stu- dents taking Library Science. Contrary to popular belief, Library Science was a credited class with daily assignments and was supervised by the librarians. Assignments ranged from straighten- ing shelves to replacing magazines with up-to-date issues. In order to get a good grade, library students checked Library, Clinic the I.D.’s of all Mariners who came in the library or checked out books. They were also responsible for keeping the and Guidance tables and chairs in order and prevent- ing students from damaging the books Offer Gervices and magazines. Ferguson’s Guidance Counselors had varied responsibilities during the tO Students 1979-80 school year. Students con- sulted their counselors about choosing Classes, transferring from one class to another, choosing colleges, informa- tion about scholarships, and personal préblems. In addition to these jobs, counselors operated the Career Coun- seling Center with the help of adult vol- unteers. Mr. Robert Hearst became chairman of the Guidance Department. With a big test or project due, some students went to the clinic to escape their responsibilities. However, due to the professional surveillance of Nurse Josephine Eley, the atmosphere of the clinic was strictly business.

Fair-Goodman Rising Gold Prices Drive up Cost of Class Rings Juniors and some seniors anxiously waited their turn in line to order class rings. Having had the ordering form and a descriptive paper on the types of rings available for two weeks, placing of the order did not take very long. Fluctuating gold prices increased the cost of class rings. But this did not decrease ring sales. When late orders were placed, the price of gold had increased fifteen dollars over the origi- nal price. There were students who did not wish to order class rings. Those stu- dents preferred to spend their money on trips, other types of rings, or other personal momentos of lasting value.

Under the leadership of President David Rackley and sponsors Mrs. Ter- non Burton and Mrs. Ruth Robinson, the class began fundraising projects to build their treasury. Moneymaking plans included candy sales, and car washes. Sophomores were very much a financially minded group, and by mid-year they had earned close to three hundred dollars. The Sophomores suffered a loss at the end of the first semester. President David Rackiey moved to Richmond with his family. Even though the class was finan- cially well off, the credit of all the hard work was given to the officers, accord- ing to David Rackley. In spite of this problem, the Sophomores came out working.

As newcomers to FHS, Sophomores may have been confused as to where the classrooms were, but when it came to the pep rallies, their confusion gave way to Mariner Mania. With a lot of encouragement from the JV Cheering Squad, the Sopho- mores quickly gained possession of the Spirit Stick from surprised Juniors and Seniors. They won not only spirit contests, but crab races, jello-eating races and basketball throws during class competitions.

At first | hated it and didn't want to play, but I’m very glad | stuck with it because now | enjoy playing.”’ LaDonna started playing in tennis tournaments at the age of eleven. She played on Newport News Inter- mediate’s tennis team in eighth grade and ninth grade she went undefeated through the season.

Schedules were carefully planned around that special one-semester course, Driver's Educa- tion. In the state of Virginia for a 16 year-old to obtain a license he had to pass a one-semester class learning the rules of the road, watching countless films and answering worksheets. There was also a two week on the road train- ing course where the in-class lessons were tested on the open road. Finally the anticipated day arrived. Cautious parents were chauffered to the DMV building by the nervous new driver. A little later a new world was opened. Sophomores’ dreams were © fulfilled by driving to school, to movies or to the malls.

BELOW: Janis Broad has fun blowing bubbles. Mariners Special in Their Own Way Even with limits imposed on them by school regulations, Mariners still found it possible to do things their own way. Field trips were eliminated in all New- port News schools in an effort to save gas. But, Ferguson classes were able to walk to many places such as the Mariner's Museum, Sammy’s, and other area stores. The SCA took charge of proposing energy-saving programs to city-wide SCA’s. Although no Ferguson teams won state or district titles. Many individuals did extremely well. Elton Brown placed second in the nation in the 600, and wrestlers George Fiscella, Ed Fiscella and Kevin Doughtery won in regional competition and went to the state meet. Whatever time of the year, Mariners found unique ways to channel their Mariner Mania. Things like sunbathing in the snow, skipping school to go to Virginia Beach, decorating halls, and sleeping through Physics class helped Mariners get through the year.

Like The Mariners Can 199 Seniors Plan For Graduation End of the year activities preoccu- pied students as they prepared to bring out the year in style. Seniors arranged dates for Prom and the Hellenic Center was decorated for the night of fun. Juniors began to think of themselves as Seniors, as they took over offices vacated by the graduating class. The SCA presented an orientation program to rising freshmen and sophomores. As underclassmen said so long for the summer, they looked forward to another year with the opportunity to create what would be their own Mari- ner spirit.
