Not only will it be the bicentennial anniversary of our country’s independence, but sophomores will also be independent. Yes, they will be indepen- dent; of awakening at prompt- ly at 6:30 p.m.; catching a bus, and eating fishsticks every Friday; however, they will never be independent of their intimate love and loyalty to Norcom.

Norcom senior. The embodiment of which all of our freshman, sophomore years have been rolled into one ball, smashing, relentlessly in a spiraling, are toward the culminating activity in which all our yesterdays have reached the height of success in our secon- dary education.

Not only are we first in that capacity, but also here at Norcom, more languages are spoken than in any other high school in the Tidewater area. This is so, because of all the career programs which are taught; each career area has its own certain jargon which can’t be applied any- where else. And the foreign language courses to the 24 career jargons and we come up with 26 different languages. Melvin Lewis Chorus 18 years FACULTY quality of note about Norcom teachers is their ability to get the feeling if togetherness in the school. Even with 26 languages being spoken at one time or another. We still all communicate in the common language — Greyhound Togetherness. Audrey D.

Your theme “Let us Resign Ourselves to Accept What Is Real, But Allow Ourselves To Dream What Is Not”, has a great connatation and I would hope that each of you will make this a part of your philosophy of life. One can never get away from reality, but out of dreams come new ideas, new ways of doing things and new inventions. Take time to dream and then turn your dreams into realities. Your class has brought state, local and national honors to our school. We are most appreciative of your having done this. I challenge you to continue to perform in the vain of excellence. Your greatness is Norcom’s greatness. My personal wish for each of you is success and happiness in whatever your future endeavors may be. The administration and faculty stand ready to aid you in any manner that we can. 48 GREYHOUND DIARY Life at Norcom this year, has been quite a unique experience: so is every day at Norcom. Only a true Norcomite can express his feelings of warmth and pride at being at a school where there are no limits to the extent of one ' s preparation for his future education. This year hasn’t been all fun and games. There were sad times that are obviously more apt to be forgotten. But nevertheless, the important fac- tor is the total togetherness of the student body, regardless of the outcome of any activities. Yes, Norcom is definitely a “one-of-a-kind” school but the students, too, are remarkably unique for they each cherish Norcom and the thoughts of it will be embedded within their hearts for years to come. Students working hard during class and relaxing when not in class. 50 rs i FELLOW NORCOMITES GETTING TOGETHER MIGHTY MIKE ON THE AIR AT THE ONE AND ONLY WNHS!

This year there was the production “Purlie” based on a broadway musical written by Ossie Davis entitled “Purlie Victorious” starring Melba Moore and Cleavon Little. The musical was an immediate success with the audience on both nights, April 25 and 26, not only because of the fine acting of the cast, but also because many of the career areas and other groups contributed to making “Purlie” one of the best productions ever done by Norcom.

There were three game wins out of a possible total of 10. The Greyhound district total was 1-6. The Greyhounds most important victory (the only one that counted in the district totals) was played October 12, against Deep Creek. The final score was Deep Creek 6, Norcom 14. The first and last games of the season were outstanding victories, but neither counted in the district totals. In the first game Norcom defeated Norfolk Catholic 27-7 and in the last game defeated J.F. Kennedy 28-7. Under the leadership of Coaches Eure, Phelps, Edwards, and Lowery the Greyhounds , never lost their spirit and kept on fighting.

The Girls’ Basketball Teams’ motto may have been ‘You can’t win ’em all,’ but even so, they played like true Greyhounds. The team never lacked spirit or hard work. And now, with a little experience behind them, there’s no telling what they will do next year. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Comments by Players “I consider it to be one of the most honored privi- leges I have ever had in playing sports. We lost a lot of games this year, but people and the team must also realize that we were just starting and had a lot to learn. We learned that you can’t be too anxious, along with many other things.” — Sylvia Skeeter “I am glad we had a girls’ basketball team. I wish we could have had the boys working with us this summer because then we could have learned from them.” — Janis Klise “I’ve played basketball for another school for three years and I must admit that I’ve had the most fun playing here at Norcom. It was quite an experience for all but whenever we won or lost, we stuck together as a team.” — Angie Worley “The team was something for us to look forward to. We hope for it to be better next year.” — Sharon Ward 83 I. C. NORCOM TENNIS TEAM ’74 I The tennis scoreboard left a lot to be desired, for out of nine matches the team didn’t win any. But the word is that they’re planning to wipe the slate clean next year. No mat- ter what, the I.C. Norcom tennis team is a great team. Come on, I’m ready for anything. tit The golf team pulled off an amazing feat this year. They went from a win- less season to a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. Keep up the good work! GOLF The ’74 Golf Team: Coach Larry Schwab 85 I Varsity Baseball Team ’74 BASEBALL -■ Baseball is full of action packed scenes. 86 O SCENES P 89 90 Awards Day proved to be a red letter day for many sports players. Sports are an important part of life at Norcom because it brings tbe student body together for tbe cause of one goal — to win. Whether one is a spec- tator or a player, sports is an education in itself. It trains discipline and experience of knowing how to win and also to lose. Student attendance for all sports events was on the average good, but in order for a team to put forth its best effort its got to have the support of all the student body. 91 MASONRY — is included in the Building Trades program. The program provides the student with the skills necessary to qualify him for beginning employment in the construction field. The use and care of hand and power tools is stressed in the first year of this program. Other topics include codes, zoning, foundations, framing, surfacing materials, roofing, insulation, technical and electrical systems. The second year is devoted to planning, layout, blueprint reading, cost estimating, and project exercises. Cabinet making and finish work are also included in the program. ELECTRONICS — for the student interested in electricity or electronics as a career. Topics of study include an introduction to electron theory, conductors and insulators, resistance and conductors, sources of EMF, batteries, electric circuits, electro magnetism, alternating current, inductance, capacitance, the electric generator, the vacuum tube, and transistors. The course uses a laboratory approach to instruction and allows the student to perform experiments to reinforce the theory taught. 92 MACHINE TECHNOLOGY — emphasis is placed on basic theory of machine shop and “hands-on” experience in operation of drill press, lathe, milling machine, shapers and grinders. Basic metal properties and mechanical blueprint reading are also taught. Later more emphasis is placed on more advanced studies such as gear cutting, heat reading and machinery repair. The goal of the course is to prepare the student for employment on a mid-apprenticeship level in the field of Machine Tool trades. EERS AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY — includes body repair and painting on several levels is designed to teach the student the complete reworking processes involved in the repa ir of damaged vehicles. Students learn to make preliminary surveys and damage estimates before repair is begun. They learn to make decisions whether to repair or replace. Skills learned are: body soldering, metal bumping, replacement of panels, pillars and sections, installing glass, channels, liners and trim. 93 DATA PROCESSING— gives students an opportunity to develop a basic understand- ing of the principles of data processing by automatic means. The course shows students how the data they are learning to process is handled by manual, mech- anical, punched cards, and computer methods.

Students are given a first hand opportunity to record and discuss the behavorial patterns of young children when pre-school aged children are brought to class or when they go on field trips to kindergartens and elementary schools. 95 FASHION DESIGN — Ex- perience is gained in ad- vanced techniques in cloth- ing construction, the handl- ing of different types of fabrics, principles of fit- ting, and pattern alterations. The psychological effects of clothing on the individual are stressed. i This course is challenging in terms of the student’s in- terest in being well dressed, the monetary value of pro- fessional-looking made gar- ments, and the high level of sewing skill required for a quality product. Here a Fashion Design student models a dress at another school. FOOD SERVICE MANAGE- MENT — is a two hour block program offered for students who are interested in enter- ing the field of dietetics or food service management at the supervisory or man- agerial level.

Concentration is placed upon the properties and the nature of matter. Basic health related sciences such as physiology, pathol- ogy, microbiology, nutrition, pharmacology, and thera- peutics cannot be mastered by students until they have acquired a sound under- standing of the subject of Medical Chemistry. 97 The PRACTICAL NURSING program is a planned curri- culum of instruction and laboratory experience over an 18 month period. De- signed to prepare the stu- dent to give safe and effec- tive bedside nursing care to patients. Successful com- pletion of the program qual- ifies the student to take the Virginia State Board of Nursing Examination for Practical Nursing. Employ- ment opportunities for Li- censed Practical Nurses are numerous and varied. PRE-PROFESSIONAL j ADVANCED PHYSICAL i EDUCATION — Leading to a career in Coaching, I Teaching and Recreation Leadership. Students enter- i ing this course must have I finished the required phys. ed. courses in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. This course I includes techniques, rules, history, game strategy , officiating and training in I recreation sports such as: Golf, Tennis, Skiing, Bowl- I ing and others. I COMMUNICATION ARTS AND DESIGN — The course begins with fine arts proj- ects showing the relation- ship between the two phases. Students don’t just draw pictures they deal with printing papers, archi- tecture, film making, photo- graphy (including darkroom technique) and various other projects. 98 3 : .V Communication arts and De- sign students never need to worry about lack of equip- ment. With a never ending supply of film and 10 cameras plus two equiped darkrooms there’s always something to take a picture of. A little bit of Holly- wood hit the art department when the film making proj- ect went into full swing. This along with the copy camera and all the equip- ment necessary for offset press operation keeps the department busy with communication and design. JOURNALISM — Taught by a reporter of one of the local newspapers is a course which requires a good aver- age in 9th and 10th grade English. The students are taught the details of the working newspaper. Not only do the students learn about the writing aspect of Journalism but also each year the student with the help of the Broadcasting de- partment produces a half hour news show. BROADCASTING — Many students like to take both Journalism and Broadcast- ing. The broadcasting stu- dents run the school radio WHNS with little adminis- trative supervision. Stu- dents have their own shows read the news and have a sports digest. Many have jobs with local radio stations n the Tidewater area. 99 COMPREHENSIVE MUSIC — Four-hour course of his- tory, literature, apprecia- tion, score reading, form analysis and design, theory, and composition integrated into one major program. Students majoring in music must complete this program in order to graduate. A continuation and exten- tion of Music Literature, Harmony and Ear Training II involving the development of musical styles from the beginning of the Class Era to the present day. The De- velopment of Written aural and performance skills are continued. Mixed Chorus Students in this case must have a high proficiency of performing ability. Sight reading and understand the various as- pects of good tone, vocal production, and the periods of music that they study. 100 I I I ( I i I I f The chorus students are kept j very busy. This year they j went to Vermont and re- I ceived excellent reviews and the entire group was active in the production of PURLIE which also received I rave reviews. i ORCHESTRA — Students have a knowledge of en- semble playing recognize scale forms both diatonic and chromatic, learn new and better bowing and fingerings the use of vibrato with ability to play minor, major and chromatic scales in two or three octaves with increased speed and various types of bowing, read music in all keys, and be able to sight read music in one grade level lower than what the students are performing in. They must practice often and alone to improve individual problems. It is at tbis level of proficiency that tbe students are able to work out tbeir own pro- blems. 101 Webster College Dictionary defines career 1, a general course of action, esp. progress in a lifework. 2, a calling pursued as a lifework. Norcom gives the student time to try out before it’s too late to turn back. So often people complain that they don’t like their job and they wish they had something else. But fear of not succeeding the second time around prevents many from entering the field they want. Norcom students shouldn’t make that mistake of choosing the wrong career because the facilities are here for a student to learn the basics of his chosen profession and if he realizes he doesn’t like the job then he knows before he goes out into the world and gets a job he doesn’t like. A career is one of the most important things in life and it took the people at Norcom to come up with the Career-Oriented Program and idea that could save a lot of people indecision in the future. Each day spent at Norcom is a career. Instructions received will be remembered for a lifetime. Frank discussions helps each and every one of us to realize what the outside world is thinking and what we can expect once we become a part of it. Being a Norcomite is a calling pursued as a life time work because not everyone can be a Norcomite and no matter how long we stay away or how far we go we will always be Norcomites. 102 azcoffi KjM dC) IN THE It’s hard to know sometimes that your hard work and effort will go hy without anyone noticing. So in an effort attempt to prove to Norcomites who have done something a little out of the ordinary, this section is for you. This includes teachers, as well as students. Everything from academics to sports and science to arts. To you, fellow Norcomites we dedicate this section because your efforts gives our name a greater image. The image that nothing hut the best attends I.C. Norcom High.

This love for you will never die No matter where we roam Dear Norcom High our number one, Our second home, sweet home. The times we share — who could forget? O, Norcom it’s been fun. And keeping up the spirit, too Our work was never done. And then when times were really hard And happy smiles were few. You gave us strength and confidence We kept our faith in you.. Words cannot tell just how we feel — That special love for you; Quite different from a mother’s love Yet a love that’s ever true. You’ll always be the same to us You’ll never, never change Our lifetime passed at Norcom High Will never be estranged. O, Norcom High we hate to go. And leave good times behind A lifetime full of hopes we leave A new one must find we So as we go with tears of joy And tears of sadness too Our memories will linger on To last a lifetime through. We leave you with this special thought From Norcom High to you The years of what this school has done A lifetime can’t undo. By: Kathleen Williams E.

' EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER FOUR CLASS OF 74 OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGINEERING - COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS - ACCOUNTANTS What are you doing after school? Some of your friends will be going away to college. Others to jobs. What are your plans? If you haven’t rnade any yet, consider a job with today’s Army. It’s a chance to catch your breath. A chance to find out what you want out of life before plunging in. A chance to find yourself before beginning the daily routine of a regular job, or another four years of study. If you’ve just finished high school, today’s Army can be a rewarding pre-college alternative. More rewarding in many ways than pumping gas, bagging groceries, or marking time in the company stock- room. Today’s Army is more than a place to mark time. It’s a place where you can train, learn, have a re- sponsible job, meet people, travel, and mature. Think of a job with today’s Army not as an interruption in your life, but the beginning of a meaning- ful career. In the Army, or in civilian life. Office 397-7124 Home 487-7388 WILLIE T. HAMLIN, JR.
