D4 THE 1986-87 School year started with Pride, Tradition, and Excel- lence. A leadership conference training course during the summer prepared our student leaders to make the best of the new year. By starting after Labor Day, we had a few more precious days of sunshine worship, summer jobs and summer fun before we looked toward the opening of school. The routine was new yet familiar. 2 Opening 4 The first week of school was a change in eating, sleeping, and thinking habits. No longer were we able to sleep ‘til one or stay out 'til three. Thoughts of “‘it’s too early to be up” surfaced, but a new tardy policy peeled us out of bed. Bells ruled our lives. Instead of when to go to the beach, we thought of when we wanted to go to lunch or “brunch”, for those of us with the first lunch wave. THE SUMMER FUN CONTINUES when Mike Burch, Greg Randall, Juno Pitchford, Rick Starling, Eric Bates, Kate Lucey, Beth Blackmon, Sally Cressy, Liz Lucey, Heather Rackey, Carter Hansen, and George Coghill, get together for a little ‘‘football.”’ Everyone wondered how messed up his or her schedule would be or how easy locker combinations would be to remember. Our look was proud, traditional, and excellent. AS we marched in our new band uniforms, won hockey and football games, practiced silence on silent day, listened to Mr. Waddell make the announcements, wore our big sweaters, took tests, we built our look — look Our way. eV di eye. =1,457- Ghigo) se tidal-yrel ell alate Mm er-lale) competition, Clark Sessions and John rsPr date at le) slarxelam=e)iae)inir4-M-18)o) mye) alice tication. { ' i (| Opening 3 Forward Motion | At the commencement of the school year, students were forced to shift gears and proceed full speed ahead. The tradition of spirit and hard work, native to aJames Monroe student, remained fastened to his heart, but new attitudes and an even deeper sense of school loyalty developed. Enthusiasm was excep- tionally alive in all aspects of school life; the academic world welcomed MR. ROBERTS LETS “LOOSE” and takes a break from class. new teachers and more advanced courses of study; the sphere of sports celebrated the arrival of new-comer coaches; and the social circuit added new school traditions to its belt. The James Monroe family walks its way with courage and con- fidence, not Knowing what the future holds but ready to meet whatever it encounters.

Always on the upswing, Jackets made the most of their year. Deep thought went into the social moves that were ever present at James Monroe. Hard work made academic moves worthwhile. Moves of affection displayed the cozy warmth of students and faculty. Talented movers livened the pace by sharing their gifts with everyone. The year was full of movers and shakers, im- proving all-around on a grand scale. JIMMY FENWICK COMPLETES an in-depth study of cells.

The week opened with a humorous movie which reminded us: these are the best times of our lives. On screen we ONLOOKERS WATCH THE Home- coming Court take to the floor for the first dance. ee 10 Student Life ¢ saw teenagers enjoying the adventure of high school and the compay of friends; James Monroe mirrored those images.

Prom — Homecoming Dances 13 The Jayem curriculum has many offerings for a school of this size. Almost five levels of each subject area were offered to meet requirements for four different kinds’ of diplomas. It was a lot of hard w ork, but class work had many pluses. The summer standout was a Governor's Program for vocationally gifted students in Robotics and assroom Pius CAD (Computer Aided Design), also, Student Leaders were involved in learning and teaching leadership techniques. The band — orchestra scheduling provided a new football performance format. For the first time a course was offered in Cre- ative Thinking where students often role played and participated in simula- tions. To make learning 14 Student Life 4 come alive, teachers often found resource people to visit their classrooms. Perhaps resource person Jim Woodward, a Jayem alumnus, provided the most excitement when he brought his snake collec- tion to science classes. His pythons were real exten- sions to an already colossal curriculum. In ADVANCED FRENCH CLASS, Charity Sheffield, Elizabeth Merrill and Meredith Parry work on a group assignment. “KISS ME, ’ SAYS JEFF Miller, a senior who seems to have no fears.

Hours and hours were spent in rehearsal to polish their acts, to refine their performances. Then Came THE OCCASION the second annual talent show sponsored by the Strings Program. To a packed house they played, danced, sang, and acted. The ultimate prize, 1st place, went to Yvonne Lucas for a dance that featured ‘‘Waving”’ and “Snaking.” Other activities often preoccupied our stu- dents. Sporting events drew their share of spec- tators. Butnotall activities were school related. Community organiza- tions, such as the Scouts, provided after school ac- tivities. One scouting highlight was Tom O'Toole making Eagle Scout in No- vember. Anyone who said there was nothing for teens to do in Fredericks- burg was wrong, but sometimes teens had to make their own fun with impromptu games, pizza parties and video sessions occasionally after hours. AN ORIGINAL COMPOSITION brought second place honors to Keller Williams. After Hours 21 | THE “GREEN” SCENE Next to their studies, what could be It oo : a ie most important to Jayem Students? é oY Having a good time, of course! This me ea involved dances, movies, shopping 7 sprees, and sports events. This turned into a serious problem — lack of ‘‘green.’’ This was then compounded by a student's more serious financial commitments which needed to be taken care of. For example, there were class dues, car payments, car insurance, gas money, and school supplies. How would a typical Jayem student solve all these money problems? Get a job! They took jobs in banks, pharmacies, department stores, beauty shops, and gift shops. There were fast food workers like Tasha Gowdy and Zena Samuels and there were the Mall workers like Amy Ridge, Amy Barnett, and Karen Young. All of them were trying to make the ‘SCENE GREEN.” LISA MANN GOES about her work at A N store in good spirits as she puts snow suits on dis- play. 3 : ; c : —— . . ; , ae ¥ , Bcd a LINDA ROSSER GIVES service with a smile at HONG PARK, JAMES Keller, and Tom Reeder Little Caesars. pee beet ieN es under control and working ef- iciently.

Academic, ath- letic, artistic, and vocational are all words to describe our student body. The styles of dress and music varied greatly, but we all tended toward unity of ideals and pursuits. People made James Monroe an exceptional institu- tion. The eighth grade class, tradi- tionally trampled by the upper- classmen, learned to integrate itself into school society. The 24 People 4 bazaar hosted by the eighth graders was proof of their involvement. Mary Franklin commented that James Monroe was bigger than Walker- Grant, but she will enjoy her future years here. The eighth grade added much to the heritage of our school. The ninth graders were no longer under the oppression they felt the previous year. This year they really started high school. They felt class unity in the paying of class dues and representation on the SCA. The tenth grade was the interum between the lower and upper class. At times it seemed rather boring, revealed Amy Herndon. The girls’ club of the tenth grade hosted the Spring Dance and enjoyed the plan- ning and inviting. The eleventh graders had the busi- est year. Between receiving their licenses, class rings, taking PSAT’s and getting college information, they also planned the Prom. The realiza- tion of becoming a senior hit the whole class and fun times acceler- ated. The mighty seniors roamed the entire school as if they owned the place. They pampered and kidded underclassmen while plotting their future lives. Senior privileges insured a happy final year at James Monroe. Our students, though varied, all respected and honored the name and ideals of James Monroe. This was a year for Our people. “WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? All the students have What? . . . THE SPIRIT! ) Divider 25 MOVING IN Just Like Moving in toa dif- ferent neighborhood, moving into an unfamiliar school can be very excit- ing but also scary. New friends and more experi- ences were all part of the territory. A variety of clubs, organizations, sports, and class selection were all options for the class of 1991. Although the transi- tion from middle school to high school was difficult, the new Jackets wel- comed the challenge. Stu- dents in Ms. Cordell’s fourth period English class admitted being scared to move up to Jayem, but quickly felt a part of the school. 26 People 4 Herman Baskerville Daniel Battista Thomas Bennett Christopher Bingley John Blackmon Michelle Blackwelder Dianna Blair Melissa Bowling Alexander Bowman Colleen Boxwell Lita Brown Martin Brown John Burton Kenya Byrd Nadene Byrd John Callahan Joyce Callahan Timothy Carlson Clarence Carter Myron Carter David Carton Mark Catlett Roderick Catlett Robert Cherry Ayonna Clark Roland Clarke Joby Coakley Melissa Coleman Todd Comstock Cherly Cooper Patricia Curry Jacqueline Curry Patrick Curtis Wanda Daniel Jennifer Davis Neil Day Marsha Deane Liam Desanto Ronald Despain Natasha Deyo Mike Dickinson Renee Dismukes Katina Alsop Louise Anderson Joann Atkinson James Atwell Charles Barton am ik a Se te s i) a Crystal Durante le Anthony Edwards Cynthis Eley Ade Catherine Evans Lewis Fickett April Fields Curtis Fisher Michael Fleming Michelle Fleming Larry Fletcher Mary Franklin Kimberly French De’atra Frye Schericka Gaskins Todd Gallahan Keith Garrison Jonathan George Troy Girtain Catherine Glancey Shana Golding Gemma Gonzales Amanda Gray Tamara Griffin Margis Hamm Christine Harold Leon Harris Stephanie Harrison Darrin Helderman Jason Hicks Jerry Holmes Jennifer Hopkins Jonn Hughes Patricia Humphrey Marissa Jobeck Jessica Jonnson Martin Jones Terry Johnson Selena Johnson Monica Johnson Thomas Kazenske Brian Kelly Andrea King Kelly Kulp Kevin Lam Mark Lam Un Lee Dean Leming EIGHTH GRADERS GET to partici- pate in Cross Country.

In some ways, they were still separated from the rest of the students. For exam- ple, in athletics, some sports allowed eighth graders to participate on the junior varsity teams, such as hockey, football, basketball, and baseball. Other sports including track and cross-country did not exclude eighth graders from running, but their scores did not count. This separation, however, did not keep the deter- mination from running low. Although some ath- letic scores did not count, grade points did count to- ward their cumulative credits. Eighth graders had been here for three years and were a part of the school; but soon the new school will be built and they will no longer be here.

No longer stereo- typed, the ninth graders were allowed to become integrated into the social life of our students. Fresh- men can participate in sports which are now “counted.” Their require- ments for academic classes involve the basic English, Math, Physical Education, and everyone's favorite — World History, or Geography. These are alla part of the daily activi- ties which make the life of a freshman exciting and adventurous. ia 3 31 Stephen Mann Troy McFall Jason McKnight Christopher Meade Robin Merryman Devetrias Minor Gregory Minor Nichole Minor Amy Mitchell Melissa Mitchell Barbara Mitchem Benedyct Muirheld Theodore Nestor lan Pain Allen Parker Mark Parrish Charles Pasto Ernest Perry James Perry Michelle Perry Paul Perry Christopher Peyton Gary Poole Olisa Pratt Jared Pullam Neil Raftery Laura Reeder Jeffrey Rnodes Brian Richard Michael Richardson Kimber Richardson Travis Rollins Kelly Rosser Marcia Samuels Alyce Sanders Best Foot Chris Peyton says, Eorward RE ceez this test is hard. 99 When we asked members of the freshman class their opinion of James Monroe, we received several different comments. Included in their opinions were that Jayem was really large compared to the middle school, that they now felt accepted by upperclassmen, and that overall they think J.M. was a nice school. With the addition of eighth grade, the students had time to become better adjusted by the time they be- come freshman. Freshmen feet walk to the beat.

AS seniors prepared to graduate, all of them had dreams: whether of going to college, the armed forces, or the world of work. Tammy Davis’ dream was typical. She dreamed of going to James Madison University to major in music. She had always been in- terested in anything related to the fine arts. She had prepared herself by participating in the Maranatha Touring Choir, the Youth Folk Choir of Fredericksburg Methodist Church, the Voices of Youth, and by doing solo work. Aside from hopes of marriage and children in the future, she wants to perform professionally and or own her own night club. With all seniors, the fu- ture depended on talent, prepara- tion, hard work, and, of course, luck. Hopefully dreams will be fulfilled and everyone eventually will make it to the top.

CANDACE CONARD JOHNSON With all our love, by Dara Delamere for The Class of '87 Seniors 51 HOw did one become the best or the most? Of course, in terms of senior class superlatives it was by vote of the entire senior class. But to become ‘'the best” or ‘the most” of any category, the student often started with some inner gift or natural born talent and combined it with nuturing or discipline. This year’s winners were no different. When looked at closely, this was KIRK EDWARDS AND ELIZABETH McDaniel strike a vogue pose in cashmere and fleece. STAR ATHLETES ANTONIO Coghill and Wendy Parker arm wrestle. Is Antonio letting Wendy win??? Be what they possessed. Being best dressed didn't merely mean being able to afford fancy clothes, it meant style and sophistication. Elizabeth McDaniel and Kirk Edwards had the flair for finding the right combinations and the manner to model them stylishly.

MERCEDES AND MONEY don't necessarily spell success, but Dara Delamere and Tom Young seem likely to make it in whatever they might choose. Can you Tell? laugh. To have that ability was a spe- Cial gift, but Ginny Fink and Scott Pollard also had to have an environ- ment that allowed them to be free enough and confident enough to express themselves. Dara Delamere and Tom Young seemed to Nave all the “right stuff’ to succeed — intel- ligence, charming personalities, and discipline. They had winning atti- tudes and charisma. A pretty smile didn't automatically come from good looks. There was a special kind Of radiance that seemed to come from within tnat graced the faces of Kate Lucey and Daryl Flynn. They ex- pressed peacefulness. And that kind Of peace was internalized in the quiet manner of Lisa Wagner and Ron Kelsey. ““SHH-H-H!”’ LISA WAGNER and Ron Kelsey tell each other. Keep in mind that quiet doesn't necessarily mean shy. � Superlatives 53 The JOYOUS Ones There were some people that just seemed to bring joy to our lives. That special joy brought them superlative honors. Robert Mann and Carrie Hallberg gave the joy of spirit and enthusiasm. They gave the extra cheer even if we were down. Therefore, Robert dressed up and won Black and Orange Day and Carrie’s spirit fired the Championship Hockey Team and Varsity Cheering Squad. THE LIBRARY STACKS prove to be the perfect place for a sly glance or quick wink of the flirtatious ones, Deirdre Powell and Bruce Fingerhut. 54 People 4 There’s a great excitement and a pounding of the heart which comes from a cautious flirtation.

When colleges came to mind, the question were ‘‘Which one?” and “What major?” Mrs. Merchent had countless appointments with seniors who wanted help in order to decide what they would do after graduation. ‘‘If | do not go to college, what do | do?” was one of the many questions that she had to help answer. For those that were thinking about going into the service, ASVAB tests were offered. FBI associates came and gave tests for other seniors who may have been interested in typing and other aspects of business. Life after graduation seemed more real than ever before, and although it may have been scarey, it was also exciting.

Believe it or not, after leav- ing the high school seniors will miss many of the things that they took for granted during their years here. Friends who were always around will take off in different direc- tions and probably won't be seen until college holidays or even a high school reunion. A casual trip to ‘‘Mickey D’s,’’ shopping at good ol’ Spotsylvania Mall, and cruising around the ‘purg during the week- ends will not necessarily be a part of the senior’s lifestyle following graduation.

They were the ones who spent the extra time after school to tutor those who needed it, they were the ones who gave guidance throughout the year, and they were the ones who seem to received the least amount of credit, but deep down inside — they were the ones that the students did remember the most: whether they were the most favored, least liked, or the wittiest. Ten years from now, we all can look back and remember staying up until 3:00 a.m. to cram for Mr. Burch’s exam or waiting until the night before to do Mrs. Clark’s Sci- ence project. We especially can’t forget trying to recite Shakespeare lines to Mrs. Cuddy. Don’t forget Mr. Carter’s jokes in Biology class.

DEAE AER ELDERLY LESLIE — Learning this way with Academics 72 Academics ¢ Academics this year, as in every year, remained the mainstay of James Monroe. Whether it was honor roll or an A on Mr. Burch’s tests, the students always had something for which to Strive. The National Honor Society con- tinued to uphold the tradition of ex- cellence at James Monroe by its standards for admittance. These standards were set so that students participating in sports, activities, clubs, and academic contests would strive to meet the 30 point require- ment of admission, signifying a well- rounded student. To enrich the academic experi- ence, the media center not only offered a quiet place to study, but also materials and even computers, which helped students check their qualifications for prospective careers through the Virginia Career Search. Along with these opportunities and through the wide range of courses available in such fields as business, academic, and vocational areas, students were able to obtain a strong base on which to build in college or the world of work. All of these aspects, including the qualified and helpful teaching staff, combined to make James Monroe an academic force to be reckoned with in the community — proving that we were learning this way with academics.

The alarm clock goes off-the snooze button is pushed. Ten minutes later the clock goes Off again. Slowly ina dream-induced haze, you reach to push the snooze button again when reality slaps your hand in the form of your mother. Welcome to the Real World, it is Monday morning. It is a familiar scene, you experi- ence it every week. You have just had a great weekend and dream of sleeping like Rip Van Winkle, when Monday morning comes along and grudgingly you rise with the early birds, not to catch the worm, but to catch the school bus. Once at school, the fatigue and drowsiness are shrugged off and another week of classes begins. These five days are filled with great teachers, interesting classes, and friendly students. All thoughts of repose are forgotten in favor of the James Monroe High School learning experience — Education at its finest. Whether itis a Burch test, math con- test, or band competition, Jayem students always strive to do their best to represent their school to the utmost of their ability. Lhat, combined with the advanced cur- riculum and many different types of diplomas offered, makes James Monroe one of the most respected schools in the area. With these things in mind, one cannot help but be snapped out of the daze that comes with a Manic Monday. Mrs. Scott’s ‘Show and tell” interests Melissa Wagner and April Sessions, but fails to awaken Janet Skinner from her Monday morning haze. 74 A Week 4 MICHAEL RAKES AND Aubrey Heflin find in- terest in their D.E. classwork.

With learning gears in mo- tion, from the day before, the mind Starts filling up and one thinks, ‘“‘If | can just make it through the day, it'll be downhill to the weekend.” On Wednesday, simple directions seem a bit harder to follow, lunch time finds one a bit hungrier, homework seems more difficult, health problems seem more prevalent. But Jayem had a remedy for every problem: clarified directions, the Nook, homework explained, a caring nurse. All these remedies and more pulled us over the hump and made the going smoother.

The students were not ready for tests anytime, yet the teachers assigned tests all the time. Notes were traded, friends were con- sulted, paper was rougued and finally tests were taken. Juniors were frightened of Mrs. Gordon’s tests. Everyone became worried about a Cralle test. Art tests were the real killers because Mr. Johnson really put on the pressure.

Staff members had to be well-rounded. They had to be able to take and develop pictures, as well as write copy and put together layouts. Unfortunately, there was never enough time for these things to be done. Lots of rushing around was done as deadlines grew nearer and everyone's patience grew shorter.

When a smaller group was needed, the Chamber Strings group of approximately ten to fifteen members played in private homes, on the Candlelight Tour, and for the senior musical.

They were the academic and athletic leaders and they always demon- strated their authority. As usual the Seniors put on a major stage production. South Pacific was the name of the 87’ Senior play. Selected members of the Senior class were cast for the parts. High school students looked for- ward to many things, but most im- portant was the joy of becoming a senior. Dara Delamere struggled to procure more senior privileges, and the Senior Planning Council worked hard on making the senior class successful. The Senior Planning Council, the Senior Class Officers, and the Student Council Association were involved in many uplifting school oriented activities, such as pep rallys, fund raisers, and dances.

BEING SECRETARY OF the Sophomore class sometimes gives Liz Lucey a headache. eM Aloe PN eeeN. THE LEADING STRIDE — Class Officers Head of the class was what these students were. Class Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, and Treasurers joined together to lead their individual classes. Each class elected what it thought were their leaders. After being chosen to take charge of the class, officers met with their sponsors. Sponsors play an im- portant role in making the final decisions. The eighth grade officers work with their sponsor, Mrs. Hansen, to create some original fund raising ideas that would help in years to come. The Freshmen and Mrs. Scott sold doughnuts, key chains, and painter's hats with the Jayem logo. Mrs. Clark and her sophomores prepared for next 100 Clubs ¢ year's expenses by selling popsicles, doughnuts, stadium cushions, and holding dances after some of the basketball games. Mrs. Critchfield and the junior class officers strived to make this past year’s junior senior prom one to remember. Much effort went into planning the prom. Collecting dues, choosing a band, advising assigned com- mittees, making arrangements with administrators and much more made the 1986-1987 junior senior prom spectacular.

The Ger- man Club, the French Club, the Latin Club, and the Spanish Club provided opportunities for them to socialize, learn, and share in the manner of different cultures. Each club had activities that were enjoyed by many. The German Club held a crafts bazaar at Hugh Mercer Elementary School, built Ginger- bread houses, went to German restaurants, and hosted a German festival. The French club held a faculty student Christmas party with all sorts of French goodies. The Spanish Club held a door decorating contest at Christmas and gave a decorated tree to the Children’s Ward at Mary Washington Hospital. The Latin Club held numerous Pizza Parties at Mr. Gatti’s.

This year's Jayvee Hockey Team, led by captains Jill Miller and Courtney Murphy and coached by Ms. Elizabeth Fines, worked hard all season. Its dedication to the game showed in its play, if not its record. In Jayvee hockey, like all junior varsity sports, the primary goal is to gain experience that will prepare the athletes for varsity play. On a team as large as this year’s, it was hard for everyone to get playing time. With a little under half of the team going into eleventh grade, it was important that the underclass- men gain experience. Look for them to be the leaders of the team next year.

ALL MOST OF THE student body really heard about 8th grade foot- ball was the announcement, ‘‘would all eighth grade football players return their equipment.” This, how- ever, was not the only story behind these little jackets. Rain or shine the boys were practicing hard in order to strive for victory; yet many of the teams outnumbered them. Some of the players were forced to leave the team because of injury, discipline reasons, and academics, which made the team even smaller. Players that stood out on offense were Joby Coakley, Bucky Staples, Marquis 124 Sports ¢ per gO eg soe aeiaminaancl ee Hamm, and Emmanuel Symion. Stand out players on defense were Keith Garrison, Shawn Pope, Eric Trout, and Knuckles Turner. Coach Roberts said that next year we hope for a larger turnout and an im- proved won-lost record. The basic idea of the 8th grade football team is to organize teams and to instill a desire to continue playing on the J.V. and Varsity levels.

SIDESTEPPING A DEFENDER, Emmanuel Symion runs for more yardage. SHOOTING, THROWING, catching and scoring were all a part of the basketball players’ strategy in the eighth grade. The girls’ determina- tion and long practice helped them through a hard fought season. The team lost two players, Dee Dee Frye and Tangie Wallace, to the junior varsity team. The girls had never played together as a team, which could have caused some problems; but that did not prevent them from progressing. With the help of Coach Poole they quickly learned to play and work together as one instead of individuals. She felt that the 8th grade program is basically a prepa- ration for next year j.v.

PLAYERS EXIT FROM a hard fought game with ) Football 127 ON A MISSION THE 1986 football season started out with a bang! The first game against North Stafford was the first in line for many victories for Jayem. Great coaching, fantastic plays, and a hard working team was a sure sign that they would go all the way to State. It all began in late summer before school started. The object was to analyze this group of guys and put them into positions that would bet- ter the team. Hot days were spent running and practicing. They used a strong weight program to make the front line ready for the upcoming season. There were some new players, but most of the team had played together before, enabling BLOCKERS TOM YOUNG, Mike Day and John Walker make a path for quarterback Antonio Coghill as he fakes the pitch to Eric Bates. the players to become a team rather than individuals. The season began as a “Committment to Excellence:” The players took this motto to heart by being the best and not giving up. Although there were a few losses, the team stayed together and rethought their possible mistakes and worked on correcting them. After the disappointing Homecom- ing loss to Louisa, the Jackets had a week to recover. They concentrated their time on lifting the players’ spirits and psyching up for next week's game. This resting period must have done the trick because the following week was an astonish- ing victory against the hard fighting WIDE RECEIVER Kevin Johnson jumps high above the hands of Laurel Park defenders to catch the deflected pass. api ops Seg ' ‘4 oe oie _ re ooh Be Vf NO ee DA? ae aes 3 Se er - + igs | JAY DANIELS ATTENDS to Steve Conner’s in- jury while Jim Fenwick looks on.

James Monroe led the area schools in academics, athletics, and commu- nity involvement. The enthusiasm with which we emersed our lives into our studies and sports was to be rivaled with no other. The year 86-87 was a grand success. Our days were filled. BOOKS over- flowed in the lockers and paper floated from room to room, pens were passed between friends, and calculators were borrowed. Keller Williams said it took some time to memorize Pat's locker combination. Even though we concentrated on Our books, there was time for ex- tracurricular activities, too. Track, football, basketball, baseball, soft- ball, hockey, gymnastics, tennis, cross country, golf, and cheering all occupied our time. These highly physical activities put us in a good Shape and a good mood. All our teams accomplished much, espe- cially our hockey and football teams. Both drove to the top with deter- mination. THE CROSS COUNTRY team shows its pride and Pabee by warming up together before a meet. DAVID UNROE excels in gym class.

Un- fortunately the faculty team alone went undefeated. The school board made many changes such as Saturday school, a new tardy policy, a different exam schedule, and new rules regarding the attendance of school functions. All these changes enhanced our educational and social life. The '86- '87 school year brought us closer together, yet we expanded in all directions. Jayem was constantly on the go, yet we paused to do it right. Our lesson learned was ‘‘WALK THIS WAY!” THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY prepares carnations for Valentine's Day.

Whether in academics, athletics, or the community, James Monroe became well-known and respected as a force to be reckoned with. This dawn of awareness extended not only through the city and surround- ing counties but through the state as well when Jayem becam e the Group AA, Division II State Champions. The memories of this year, a red-letter year in the history of James Monroe, will certainly be remembered for years to come.
