Opening 5 Something BIG in Student Life Silver Slipper was likewise a popular place to be seen. Everyday life brings a constant change from small events to big ones and we, as students, saw more and more of this phenomenom. Our lives combined the weird and the wild with the bleak and the boring to keep us going seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year. We constantly were in search of any and all types of diversions to make life livable. Football and basketball games drew as many as 1400 students, parents, faculty, and community members. After-game dances were popular with us since they gave us a chance to find out the latest gossip and mingle with our friends. Formal dances took a little more advanced planning, as we struggled to “catch” the dates we wanted to go with. Many a Friday night has seen Burger King and McDonald's employees cringe as we invaded for a quick bite to eat before continuing to cruise around town. The Pep is what it's all about — sophomore enthusiasts Glynis Wade, Traci Mercer, and Shelia Johnson show their football spirit during class competition. Winter weekends filled with snow sent ski fanatics off to the slopes, particularly Bryce, Wintergreen, and Massanutten. Sometimes the best part of the week came with a party or two. Everything from Hobos to Happy Birthdays was celebrated and commemorated for us. These “events” could be expected to pop up on any night of the week — school or no school — and many of us went to school or work wondering how we would stay awake throughout the whole day. Another time-honored activity some of us indulged in involved escapades with such innocent-sounding things as shaving cream and toilet paper along with an _occasional sign or two snatched and planted appropriately. Taking advantage of her five-minute break between classes, senior Lisa Whitmore chats with a friend before moving on to her next class. Student Life Divider 7 King’s Dominion’s newest attraction, The Lost World, towers majestically over the familiar amuse- ment park. Evening finds the illuminated Sky Wheel rotating a few last times before the annual Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair closes for the day. 8 Student Life Atti Concentration and a good aim help senior Robbie McMillan and sophomore Charles McDaniel fish for prizes at the fair Carefully eyeing the many goodies available at the fairs concession stand, Angie Harding contemplates her purchase. World of make-believe “The wonderful world of make-believe.” Is this what high school students look for? Obviously so, as King’s Dominion became a mecca for our students. Some went to enjoy themselves for one day at the family fun theme amusement park; others spent the summer working to make the make-believe believable. Several students opted for the second, as it gave them a way to spend their summer and make money along the way. However, as several slaves found out, most of the jobs required hard work in the hot sun. If you worked at all with t he patrons, you had to keep up a happy appearance, and it generally helped if you were crazy. Also there were sometimes car pool problems because different parts of the park opened and closed at different times. With the summer fuel crisis, King’s Dominion had to lay-off several hundred employees temporarily, and most who remained had their hours increased. Through all this, several students lasted the summer, including Troy Westman, Charles Reeves, Kim Crist, Chris Danahy, Scott Pacello, Penny Friend, Victoria Roberts, Melissa Maynard, Scott Crist, Mark Legge, Trent Ware, and Bern Mahon. For the students who couldn't or didn’t want to pay $9.25 for a day full of fun, the annual Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair offered the traditional rides, plus the midway with its arcade games. Out of the darkness and into the light at last, a solitary boat drifts through the Voyage to Atlantis in King’s Dominion’s World. Kings Dominion Fair 9 Behind the extravaganza § The whistle blows. Feet covered by saddle socks, go-go boots, and white buckskins trample onto the football field. There's the signal and they are off. Band members find that on the field football players aren' t the only stars. Under the glaring lights, they perform to both past and recent selections. They enter their stage as the rest of the fans sit cozy and warm in the frost bite weather. Even with the mud holes, water puddles, and freezing temperatures, the show goes on. ‘| look forward to Fridays not only because it's the end of the week, but because it’s football night. We get to perform,” remarked Angie Boxley, a pon-pom girl. Early moming practice brings puzzled expressions and chilly feelings to pom-pon girl Tracey Musselman. 10 Student Life Stardom sparkles from each face from the entrance onto the field until the exit from it. Much effort is put into the premiere performances. Practice begins during the hottest week of August and trails onto the coldest mornings of November. Their ten week run ends almost as quickly as it begins. The homecoming show is the grand finale of the season. Senior Frances Williamson sighs as the thought runs through her mind. “After we receive our recognition at the homecoming game, there'll be no more games. But there will always be memories.” Thursday night practice finds Frances Williamson at- tempting a new dance-kick routine for the pom-pon squad. New marching routines bring confusion as well as amusement as band members Pam Blocke, Kim- berly Meade, and Mary Stofko discuss their next posi- tion. Concentration evident on her face, Cassie Woodward stretches to the next movement in her new routine. Anticipating the sound of Mr. Ronald Jordan's whis- tle, the marching band waits to begin its half-time per- formance. Trying to catch a few winks of sleep, Melissa Maynara awaits the beginning of early morning practice. Story Behind Half-time Show 11 Piggin out Everybody knows how the day will go. It’s just an unchanging schedule. But there’s one event of the day that can’t be described as routine. That is lunch. The ideal lunch ranges from tasty kakes, potato chips, ice cream to an occasional hamburger or meaty sandwich. Junk food junkies resist hot meals and retreat with sweets. Even though school lunches are less expensive, many seniors and junior use their off campus lunch privileges. Carloads of growling stomachs race to and from nearby fast food restaurants to avoid crowds in the cafeteria. Some find tasty selections at 7-11’s ora corner store, but they all pig out. As usual there are those who would rather spend their time getting the latest gossip. Others would rather do some last moment studying for that next test. The choice is always different. The perfect delicacy can be as simple as an ice cream bar as Kirsten Riley finds out. Ice cream is the dessert of the normal day. 12 Student Life Even though school lunches are as much as four times less expensive, Linwood Payne enjoys going out and paying the difference. Made to order sandwiches are worth the wait. Todd Mitchell gets his lunch how he chooses. No crowds or lines like at school make going out to lunch worth the trip. Matthew George, Matt Haney and Linwood Payne order from a not so busy stand. ine) E. re = O D 2D a és S Bie e Wilderness Funded by a grant from the federal government, the wilderness obstacle course at Motts Run sought to develop pride, unity, and leadership for participating groups. School administrators, teachers, businessmen, and classes have participated. Group leader Mrs. Audrey Vida commented, “The course was developed to encourage togetherness among groups of people.” Last spring Mrs. Vida, Mr. Carl Ingebretsen, Mrs. Camellia Wroniewicz and other staff members were trained to lead groups through the course. The course consists of over 20 obstacles in which the experience participants must strategize and work together to perform a physical task. One exercise involves getting all team members over a 14 foot wall. The project encourages members of a group to trust each other and gain confidence in their own abilities. All teachers went through the course during the preschool conference. Mr. Gary Calloway took his third period science class for a day’s experience. Members of VICA also spent a day in the woods. Mr. Calloway felt that his class’ experience was positive and felt that individual members knew each other better after the day at Motts Run. Laughing but trying to concentrate, class members learn group cooperation through forming an “Australian Trolley.” | Flying through the air, Doug Wilson tries the zip line. : The exercise appeared scarier than it actually was. ] Off to his grave?

Senior Addresses 17 Waiting again — senior Janel Kasparson chats with her fellow legislators while in line to hear Lt. Governor Chuck Robb give his speech. 18 Student Life ik be e 38 eae i Summer conferences — éallinaday’s work Summer means rest and relaxation for some of us, but for others it’s a time to keep learning and to keep building memories. Spotlighters Charles Bumbrey, Terry Sutherland, and Janet Anderson traveled to Richmond to attend a Journalism Workshop at VCU and ended up in the dark — a blackout kept electricity at the college off for five hours. Another spotlight staff member, Mark Durcan, found out for himself that workshops aren't all boring — at the Ball State Conference, he joined his fellow journalists in a softball tournament. Hemlock Haven in Marion, Virginia, attracted yearbook photography enthusiasts Kristy Simmons, Curtis Dunn, Sara Durcan, Martha Harper, Dicky Carson, and Brenda Wilson, who learned the proper techniques for the darkroom as well as for the picture-taking. Longwood College had a busy week in June hosting both a Delmar Yearbook Workshop and the annual Girls’ State Conference. Yearbookers Holly Smithers, Colleen Sutherland, Colleen McBane, and Jasmine Jelesoff traveled to Farmville along with adviser Miss Sharon Richmond to learn basic layout techniques. Girls’ State, an experience in self-government, became the destination for Janel Kasparson and Sarah Hollister. Boys’ State, held at Lynchburg College, claimed Jeff Grizzle, Chuck Pitts, and Mitch Gallant as representatives. Happy to please his fans, Lt. Governor Chuck Robb signs a program for an adviser. Mr. Robb was the guest speaker at Girls’ State. Lost in the crowd, Sarah Hollister and Janel Kaspar- son await their turns to go to lunch. Lines sometimes wound for several blocks. Workshops often prompt mid-afternoon cravings — adviser Sharon Richmond heads for Plumbley’s Restaurant near Amherst College in Massachusetts. Total exhaustion — after four days of long work hours and short sleep hours, yearbooker Jasmine Jelesoff collapses in her dorm room. Summer Conferences 19 Keeping up with the scene When a student was asked her opinion of the 79-80 fashion scene, she commented that very bright colors were the turn on during the year even though some wanted to turn off the glare. The preppy look came on strong with oxfords, wide wale cords and penny loafers worn by girls and boys. SKYR turtlenecks worn with a cardigan, blazer or under a pullover sweater were seen all over school. The vogue look settled on a few in the guise of large belts over sweaters, fitted jeans, stylish dresses, and straight skirts with slits on the sides or front and back. Decked out in the prep look, Jeannine Atalay wears wide wale corduroys, button-down oxford and a car- digan — a popular combination throughout winter. 20 Fashion The comfort of jeans!

Boyd Turner displays his profile to show off the new fad of one earring among guys. Webb Wright also wore an earring. Student Life 21 Hall hassle “And SHE said — oh — wait a minute, here she comes. I'll tell you later.” “Boy, that test was hard; | don’t think I can take Latin anymore.” The halls became the place for gossip, lovers, telephone conversations, making up tests, and of course going to lockers. “Oh, oh, there goes the bell. I'm late!” When the bell rang to dismiss class the halls seemed to come alive with laughter, noise, and banging locker doors, but as the tardy bell rang t he halls became deserted and silent as the last few stragglers raced to class. During the Christmas season the halls took on a new personality. The Spanish Club sponsored a door decorating contest. First place honors went to FBLA while the newly formed Ecology Club grabbed second. The Key Club added to the festive mood by decorating a Christmas tree in the main lobby. 22 Student Life 7:30 am and the new wing is already bustling. A freshman gets his books for the day. Freshmen lockers were located in the new wing. With her coat hanging on the door, junior Alesia Ennis gets ready for the day. Many students per- sonalized their lockers with stickers.

Pre-game excitement It all began with the hustle and bustle of finding a date and then just the right dress or suit. On Friday afternoon the pre-game excitement rose with the sound of the band marching up Washington Avenue. Along with the rising of spirits, the Silver Strings car was awarded top prize. The best float went to the Monroe Singers.

Swinging under streamers, dancers enjoy the music of CASPER. The dance cost $6.00 per person. Sail The atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation on the 10th of November as the 27th annual homecoming dance got underway. The couples entered the gym to find an array of barebacked dresses enhanced with stylish slits and three-piece suits. Hearty greetings were exchanged among students and chaperones. GAA members assisted by Mr. Johnny Johnson had transformed the gym into an ocean. They created the sensation of motion with disco lights and silver and blue tinsel. People ‘sailed on” through the night doing the Rock, the Freak, and disco line dances to the music of Casper. As an added attraction yearbook staff members Sara Durcan, Martha Harper, and Kristi Simmons worked all afternoon on the backdrop for the couple portraits that were taken in the auditorium. On As 8:00 pm approached, a hush fell over the crowd. Butterflies knit knots in the stomachs of the homecoming nominees. Excitement mounted as Tuck Payne was crowned king and Susan Sotzing was crowned queen. The crowd cheered and tears flowed until the last of the crowns were placed on Todd Mitchell and Carolyn Cocke, the prince and princess. As the evening wore on, the crowd dwindled and decorations began to sag. Crown bearers Wade Tanner and Kathryn Carter entertained themselves by wrapping each other in crepe paper. By 2:00 pm the next day, the GAA had dismantled their ocean and another homecoming was over. Late night dancing proves tiring for Charles Willis and Richard Cline as they dance and talk with Covell Thompson. After the crowning festivities, dancers take a break at the tables provided around the gym. Refreshments were available in the cafeteria.

Jacket — Come on Jackets, let's do it right!’ We chanted catchy cheers like that one at our sports assemblies (better known to most of us as pep rallies). Friday afternoons before important games found us packing the gym to build up enough Jacket spirit to keep our “Orange Machine’ rolling on to victory. Could we ever forget the time Mr. Carl Ingebretsen, masquerading as a rival Sportsy Knight, got exactly what he deserved — a pie in the face? Or how about the time the girls’a sports soars upward teams challenged the J.V. and varsity football teams to sing our Alma Mater better than they could? A new trend, copper cowbells, often replaced applause for seniors. Our award winning cheerleaders performed their new cheers and tried to get us all involved in boosting spirit.

QIN Ce ‘ent Life Chance of | lifetime Breaking the bread — Pope John Paul II performs Holy Communion. He delivered parts of the Mass in Polish and English. He was the first Pope ever to visit this country. He is the first Polish Pope in the Catholic history. And his mere presence drew thousands of Americans of all creeds. This saintly superstar is Pope John Paul Il. His week-long tour consisted of Masses in five of this nation’s largest cities and in the farm- lands of Des Moines, lowa.

Washington, D.C. on Saturday morning, October 6th, was his last and most historic stop. President Jimmy Carter greeted John Paul, who was the first Pope ever to visit the White House. His two day stay included a reception on the White House lawn that Saturday and a Mass Sunday on the Mall. Many Americans found themselves attracted by his charisma. Non- catholics alike took advantage of a chance to see the head of the Roman Catholic Church in person. One million people were expected, but only | 75,000 went, including Mark and Sara Durcan, Martha Har- per, Patti, Kathleen, and Gerianne Needham and Tom Morton. Pope’s Visit 31 Exam cram! We greeted the news with cries of dismay — semester exams! How in the world were we supposed to remember 18 weeks of work for an exam? Several of us, in a conscientious effort, methodically saved all of our tests, while others of us vowed to review early. But the dreaded week arrived all too soon. The days before the exams were filled with endless reviews, and tips on effective studying were imparted to us 32 Exams by well-wishing faculty members. Parental admonitions of ‘Study Hard!” and “Review it all!” were prevalent, and half-closed eyes and frequent yawns became a way of life. Each exam was two hours long, but there was an extra bonus in store — a 90 minute lunch period for all.

Kathy participated in the Youth Conservation Corps for the past two summers. The program was sponsored by the federal government for young people 15 to 18 years old. Participants worked at jobs which ranged from building trails for the handicapped and chopping down trees to building bridges and pouring concrete floors for picnic tables. Last summer Barbara Self, Julia Fischer, Sue Stevick and Tina Tripp all worked at the Prince William Forest Park Day Camp. They received minimum wage for their efforts, lived in cabins for eight weeks, and learned to live and work with other people. Each noted the friendships formed during the summer as one of the highlights. Lights out! YCC camper Barbara Self is at home at her summer home at Prince William Park.

Ice cream lover Julia Fischer was happy to serve you a hot fudge sundae at Carvel’s while Winnie Stone or Beth Lanford would sell you fresh, hot doughnuts from Paul's Bakery. Students who worked part-time did not have to be paid minimum wage, but those students who worked found whatever extra pocket money they made was useful.

What electives did you decide to take? For many, there were several choices to be made. For the musically oriented there was band, chorus, Monroe Singers or strings. The creative people chose drama or one of the art classes. Home economics made a hit with the boys as well as girls. Students who enjoyed writing could enroll in journalism or yearbook. Junior Tricia Siock worked on the yearbook staff and designed the homecoming dance spread. Others chose electives simply for fun or to pursue a hobby. The photography and woodworking classes turned out many skilled students who used their newly developed talents for money or for fun. = Ricky Maxfield Liz McMillen Vic Meyer Fred Minor Todd Mitchell Gary Morris Bill Morton Tracey Musselman Gerianne Needham Gary O’Kelley Scott Pacello Vendell Parker Terrance Patillo Robyn Payne Kay-Kay Poole Rhonda Prasse Mary Radolinski Mollie Raymond Steve Rech Guy Reeks Charles Reeves John Reynolds Keith Rice Victoria Roberts Mike Robey John Russell Carl Schmidt Carmelia Scott Lepha Sears Barbara Self Juniors 69 Just for the fun of it You don't have to be in the JM gym to find basketball talent.

Workout days were Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On these days he spent one to two hours lifting weights and exercising. David also read articles and talked with other people so that he was fully aware of what each exercise accomplished. Muscles galore belong to David. He is shown work- ing on an arm building exercise.

Mrs. Rebecca Williams was responsible for opening the cage at 8:05 a.m. and unlocking it again at 2:45 p.m. Only those who failed to take advantage of the new security provisions reported any bike problems. The locked rack was especially popular with freshmen. Latin teacher Mr. Fred Landis also used the service to safely store his moped. Safety, at last!

Snow hit Jayem on October 10, 1979, accompanied by thunder and lightning. After the initial shock of the unexpected flurry had cooled, we were faced with another surprise. The entire old wing was plunged into darkness due to a power offage in the city. Clocks ceased to function, and we had no bells to send us to our next classes. A new calamity befell us as we tried to get to our next class. Some of us couldn't even see ctober?? the numbers on our locks, and as a result, we were forced to trudge on to class minus a book or two. As if that were not enough, the stairwells became pitch dark, and we carefully found our way down the steps guided by only a few flashlight beams. The newspaper reported that such an early snowfall had not occurred in almost a century, marking that day as one to remember in the halls of Jayem. | | | With his T square in place, drafting student Tom Senior Key Clubbers put the final ornaments on the Senior Standout Keith Armstead practices for his Passagalupi works on his industrial arts assignment. school Christmas tree.

Because of awards received at Longwood Cheering Camp, our cheerleaders traveled to Richmond to perform in the Tobacco Festival Finals — something no other cheering squad at JM has ever done.

Being on key was no problem as the combined voices of the JV and varsity football players topped the girls’ teams in singing the alma mater. Spirit on the move Can you imagine 3500 people at a foot- ball game with the spirit and enthusiasm of 100 people each? Well, that’s just about the way it was during the big game between James Monroe and archrival Stafford. Some wondered where it all came from at the beginning of a brand new season. The obvious reason was that we were playing Stafford. You could see the spirit in the faces of the fans and the football players. “You can feel the spirit around you, and you can tell everyone wants to see the team win,’ commented sopho- more Colleen Sutherland. What else could you expect but spirit during a game where you scored four touchdowns, even if three were called back? “We were up for this game, and we really played well,’ commented sopho- more Charles McDaniel. “We know we won; the scoreboard just didn't show it,’ he added. The spirit, however, was not within the varsity team only. The junior varsity had their share of it, too. Sophomore quarterback Darryl Coleman commented, “We have more spirit this year, and we re going to win.” Sophomore Joey Mastin added, “We have a lot of spirit — everyone has a good attitude and wants to win.” Offensive end Richard Cline also added, ‘We have a better team this year and our spirit is very high.” A group of people who had a lot to do with the school spirit were the cheer- leaders. They spent three afternoons per week painting signs and polishing up their short yells, cheers and stunts for the games and pep assemblies. Sophomore Levie Smith, captain of the JV squad, commented, “The nine of us get along and that helps us to get our job done.” She also added, “We back the team up the best we can and whether they win or lose we're behind them all the way.” The spirit of the varsity squad was higher than ever. Kathy Onderdonk summed up the cheer- leaders’ feelings. “The squad is really together this year and we get along well. We learned from camp at Longwood College more ideas for spread- ing spirit and that's what we want to do.” With a smile on her face, Lisa Vick looks on anxiously at a Friday night football game. The Jackets had something to cheer about for the first time. Singing has become a habit at James Monroe as Beth Lanford and Kathy Onderdonk sing the alma mater at halftime at the football game.

The words might not have made sense to outsiders but loyal Jacket followers knew all the words to all the cheers. For a different approach, songs were changed to fit the spirit of the winning football season. ‘| just want to be a JM Jacket” became a popular favorite. We all knew the cheers and jumps, but the cheerleaders were the ones who knew how to create the spirit behind the Jackets. The JV and varsity girls put endless hours of hard work into their routines. JV Lisa Hylton said, ‘It's a lot of work. It takes a strong person because you have to work with so many different girls.” “Sure it’s hard work,” stated senior Kathy Onderdonk, but it’s a blast! We have a lot of fun working on pep rallies, pom pon routines and things like that.” The girls all had one thing in common — they agreed that cheering for the Jackets was great whether they were elated over a win or devastated after a loss. So close yet so far. Tears mingle with anguish as the cheerleaders watch with despair during the West Albemarle game as the final seconds tick away.

Much of this was accredited to the spirit and skills of sophomores Lisa Wells and Susie Matson. As the Free-Lance Star stated, they were ‘the team’s scoring machine.” With Matson at center half-back, she aided Wells in her 15 goals, a school record. The first game of the season left a dent in the team as they lost to Stafford, 6-0. In their next meeting with the Indians, the girls claimed a moral victory with a 2-2 tie. Two wins over King George and one over Fauquier left the girls with a 3-5-2 record. “The overall record wasn't that good, but the team showed continual improve- ment,’ commented Coach Phyllis Atkins.

Monstrous ups and downs “We had a better team at the beginning of this year than last year's JV team at the end of their season,’ commented offensive end Richard Cline, but like Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, JV’s had two different personalities. At times they played as well as any team in the district. After a good start JM went into somewhat of a skid the last part of the season. Following a good showing in a 6-6 come- from-behind tie with Orange, the little Jackets went down to Caroline and very simply got blown out. They lost 48-0. But seven days later the Jackets changed personalitites and came away with a 22-6 victory over Louisa. Lance Durante had his Checking to see if the cheerleading bus is full, Wally King and Dean Holland decide that there's more room on their own bus. best effort of the season with 191 yards rushing and one touchdown. Ray Thompson scored the other two touchdowns, and added 97 yards on the ground. Louisa ruined the shutout, scoring with just 14 seconds left in the game. After looking downright powerful the week before on defense, the JV’s hit the skid again in Orange as the Jackets got kicked around and ended up the season with a 42-14 loss. JM’s touchdowns came on runs by Darryl! Coleman and Ray Thompson. The JV's ended up with a 3-3-2 record. IV Football 107 A very big season Beginning a winning season the varsity football team walloped Gloucester, 28-13. Key figures in the game were quarterback Kevin Poole, who became the Battlefield player of the week, and Larry Boxley, rushing over 100 yards. The Jayem players crunched Varina, 36-0, in their first district game. Tight end Tuck Payne was the man of the hour, catching four passes for 104 yards, including a 34- yard touchdown pass from Poole. Tuck also made a number of important blocks and became the Battlefield player for that week. Not since 1970 had the Jackets won a 108 Sports Battlefield District title. Nine years after that win, Jayem was on the top again. The game that helped them win was a close one. The score was 8-7, Caroline, with just a little over two minutes to get their act together. Eighty yards from a touchdown, Poole was sacked for a five-yard loss. Second down, a pass attempted to Payne failed; third down, another sack and Poole was looking for an escape. Fourth down with his receivers covered, Poole made a run of it, acting on blocks from Larry Boxley and Lance Ellis. Poole made the touchdown. With an added extra point from Keith Lee, the Jackets won the game 14-8, and the Battlefield title with an 8-2 record. The faces of Coach Joe Lanford and his offense show their concern and anguish as the defense loses yardage in the West Albemarle game. The heartbreak of the season for everyone, from Head Coach Joe Lanford to the youngest fan, was the West Albemarle game. ‘| know we could have won. We've played better games. The defense didn’t play as well as they had in the past.” These were the feelings of junior split-end Mike Friend after the 21-20 loss. Mike's one word “depression!” summed up the emotions of the team at the end of the game. Despite the West Albemarle upset, the team still had a proud-looking Battlefield trophy to put in the showcase. ease eer eae Varsity Football: Front Row: Larry Boxley, Nick An- derson, Jim LaGrange, Bruce Morris, Jeff Grizzle, Todd Hastings, Lionel White, Stephon Walker, Jeff Williams, Robbie McMillan, Ronnie Watson, Scott Harrison, Troy Curtis, Jed Ryan; 2nd Row: Lewis Bundy — Manager, Lance Ellis, Kevin Poole, Charles Truslow, John Russell, Scott Stepehns, Elliot Whit- ticar, Gary Secor, Jeff Hardesty, Anthony Brown, Kelvin Durante, Thyler Patillo, Levert Boxley; 3rd ——— EEE 1979 Varsity Football JM Opponent 1 Stafford 14 28 Gloucester 13 fF 8 Varina 0 0 DeMatha 9 i 42 Louisa 6 fe SI South Lakes 13 = 14 Orange 0 ;, 14 Spotsylvania 3 29 Culpeper 0 14 Caroline 7 20 Western Albemarle 21 Record: 9-2-0 NOC CEE peep EOI IE EIN NE Row: Tuck Payne, Scott Cash, Vic Meyer, Vendell Parker, Todd Mitchell, Scott Acey, Mike Friend, Mark Shepard, Greg Williams, Sieu Wong, Ricky Maxfield; 4th Row: Gary Morris, Ronnie Davis, Scott Pacello, Nick Kenny, Charles McDaniel, Curtis Dunn, Chris Duggins, Joe Brown, Keith Lee, Kenny Bishop; Back Row: Chris Bruce, Coach Bill Harris, Coach Joe Lan- ford, Coach Joe Smith, Coach Cliff Galyen, John Reynolds.

Varsity Football 109 It’s a good feeling “| think we'll have a winning streak!” Kristi Hastings told me. As far as the jayvees were concerned she was right. Despite a few weaknesses, the team had an undefeated season with a record of 4-0-6. Although a major weakness was inexperience, one of the eleven new players, goalie Pam Whiteside, only allowed three goals to be scored against her throughout the season. “When a goal is scored, it is usually not the goalie’s fault because it got past the halfbacks and the fullbacks before it got past the goalie,” Sara Lanford said. Six eighth graders played on the team. India Whiteside told me, “Sometimes coming to JM from Walker Grant can be a hastle because we are usually late for practice.’ But Kristi Hastings remembered The JV’s warm up on footwork before the Stafford game to psyche up moral and to get the stiffness out of the body. Lunging for the ball, co-captain Colleen McBane blocks a free hit. Colleen attended hockey camp dur- ing the summer.

But when the “little jayvees” didn’t act right according to varsity rules, a tune of “initiation needs no explanation” rang through the bus.

With little support from the student body and faculty, the Jackettes finished with a record of 6-3 overall and 2-2 in the Battlefield district. In his first year of coaching girls’ basketball, Coach Tim Taylor found great potential in his team. The tallest member was 5'10” Jane Payne. She was considered by her coach to be a good defensive player with an excellent attitude. The shortest member was 4'10” Beth Wiggins. Coach Taylor described her as “a package of dynamite. She is a good hustler with real enthusiasm on the bench.” Senior Judy Williams was the top ball handler. Her rebounding average was five or six rebounds per game. According to Coach Taylor, ‘If they were all turned into lay-ups, it would have been phenomenal.” The biggest tragedy of the season was the loss of the junior varsity team. The team consisted of six members until Edith Johnson was injured. Edith was sidelined for the rest of the season when she broke her collarbone at a game.

The moments of elation were few during the season which ended with a 4-6 district record. The Jackets didn’t win a game on the road the entire season. They did, however, show improvement. Despite two losses to Orange, the team had its most productive quarter of the year during its final regular season game. They hit for 25 points, including 11 straight to take the lead at the half, 32-31.

We did better than most people would have given us credit for, and I'm proud of my team,” pointed out Coach Bob Burch. The season opened on the road at Stafford.

One of the most remembered games for many was the one against Louisa. ‘That was one tough game. We really pulled together because we had to play through a double overtime,” remarked Lloyd Watts. “| doubt if you could find a happier team anywhere.’ After checking in at the scorer’s tab le, freshman Dean Holland replaces a tired teammate.

Skits performed in pantomime involved the use of facial expressions. Junior Charles Truslow, who performed with an amateur theatrical company, remarked, ‘The class is really different from what I'm used to. ' I'm amazed to see how serious some of the students are in class, but this is nothing like what I’m used to.” In addition to warm-up exercises, the students learned the skills necessary to give a production. Each student was given the opportunity to direct a one-act play. mw eh a Both directing and acting skills were used. 4 The highlight of the first semester was the production of the Pied Piper. The class worked on props during class and also countless hours after school. The play was presented numerous times for the community. Also as a community service, the Monroe Singers had one public appearance for the Senior Citizens. The chorus found many talented voices.In a competition for the Regional Chorus, seven of those who tried out were chosen.

Richard Myers managed Sears and Calvin Cox headed Belman’s Grocery. Crystal Rumbly did her duty at the Golden Corral. “We had a little problem with Crystal,’ commented Mrs. Bonnie Stone, “the Golden Corral didn’t open until 11:00 and we didn’t know what to do with her for a few hours.” Judy Williams headed Dominion National Band and Tom Guadagno took charge of Maru Pet Shop. ICT was a vocational program which gave students the opportunity to learn basic working skills while keeping their afternoons free to go to a job.

Both were talking about their experiences as part of the Spotlight staff. “The purpose of the Spotlight,” explained advisor Mrs. Barbara DeBow; ‘was to make young people better writers and to train them to look for the unusual in a usual situation.” Creativity, insight and hours of hard work went into the production of the school’s newsmagazine. Another phase of journalism had its headquarters in the back of a math room. The yearbook staff worked to prepare pictures, designs, themes and articles to create a book that would cover a year's events. The yearbook staff tried to freeze time — to capture the mood of the year, while the Spotlight staff presented a straight factual account of events. The journalism students felt that their classes were very different from their English Classes. The English curriculum placed more emphasis than ever on the basics of grammar and literature. “Students read about their culture,” stated British literature senior teacher Miss Sais. “English makes us human by teaching us to communicate and manipulate language.” English, Journalism 135 While Sergeant of Arms Tuck Payne consults with Chairman Mr. Rick Hall, Senator Otho Campbell pre- sents his arguments for his bill.

Search for roots, culture ‘Whether we liked it or not, we had to take a certain amount of social studies to graduate. World geography and world history paved the way by bringing the rest of the world to our classrooms. We searched for and found our roots in United States histroy and researched the elements that held society together in sociology. Government made us aware of how our government was born and how it worked for us today through such activities as Mock Congress. We became the senators and representatives and debated legislation of our own making. Closely paralleling the idea of bringing the world to us, foreign language gave us our own taste of foreign cultures. Trips to nearby ethnic restaurants and travels abroad allowed us to test our newly acquired speaking and reading skills. Social Studies, Foreign Language 137 Career skills Small engine repairs and the morning welding class, both under the supervision of Mr. Edward Waller, provided marketable skills for people interested in working with their hands. Students learned construction as well as the different types of machinery used in today’s mechanical field. They got practical experience by working on teachers’ old cars. While in welding class students such as Thylor Patillo, Thomas Kelly, Nick Kenny, and Fred Minor worked on the construction of tables, chairs, lamps and other practical items. The practical nursing class, held at the hospital, prepared Barbara Moats and Lynne Wanner for a nursing career. The practical nursing program was an 18- month course which was divided into two 9-month periods: the preclinical and the clinical phases. Seniors took the preclinical phase and finished the program the following year.

Accomplishments grew in leaps and bound. Our new football coach was declared Free-Lance Star’s “Coach of the Year” and for the first time ever, a junior received the Free-Lance Star’s ‘Player of the Year Award” for footb all. The 1979 All- Battlefield District Football Team boasted seven of our classmates on its first team and five more on its second team. A year of surprises came not only for teachers, but for us too as we greeted a new superintendent to our school system. Teachers had a busier year than ever with their involvement in the Southern Association Self-Study conducted every ten years. Two new clubs sprung up in two entirely different areas to broaden the horizon of over thirty clubs offered at JM. Established traditions such as Forensics, Band, Monroe Singers, and Silver Strings concerts as we ll as the drama productions provided outlets for our performing talents. Statewide competitions in math, in welding, in DE and in business attracted several of our classmates. The math contest yielded five state winners in three different levels. Members of FBLA, HERO, and FHA were involved in projects to benefit the community as well. FBLA and FHA made a local nursing home’s Christmas much brighter with their gifts and cards, while HERO assured needy area families a more bountiful holiday season with their food baskets. All of our accomplishments, however small they might seem when taken separately, became big successes for our school when united. As saboteurs stand ready and waiting, Key Club members make vain efforts to defend their “Deathmobile” during the annual homecoming parade.
