Stephen Conner, Jeff Jones, and Jason Bill share refreshments at the National Honor Society Induction. ... CAPTURED During this year, we made some major decisions — some thought out and planned, others on the spur of the mo- ment. Although we might have conscious- ly decided to take drama, there were al- ways the jitters of the first production, “How to Eat a Poem.” It was also Ms. Hamway’s first production at James Monroe, having taught in a neighboring county. Some decisions were hard, like who to take to the “Tender Love” Prom or “I’m going to do my best to become a member of the National Honor Society.” We went after unusual stories for the Spotlight newspaper or made phone calls begging for ads. The impulsive decisions often brought smiles and laughs. We cut up in classes, shared remembrances in yearbook inscriptions, donned costumes and make-up at Halloween, and preten- ded we were exotic senoritas. Luckily, some of these moments have been cap- tured here forever. MARGARET CURRY AND Bridget Hogge watch Bryce Christian perform a magical balancing act in art class.
