Kecouglitan Higli Scliool Hampton, Virginia 23669 ...5 ,.- ' --- The year began, and 2000 Warriors entered the halls of Kecoughtan High School. Each unique in his own right, and even as a group, the individual qualities of everyone stood out. The personal I took precedence over the we as each student pursued his own goals and interests. High school was for some the final years of preparation for a chosen career. These students sought the business, distri- butive, and vocational education offerings and excelled in their own selected areas. For others, high school was but an edu- cational step before college. Those who planned post-high school education fol- lowed a college-preparatory curriculum, concentrating in their individual areas, whether they were the sciences or the arts. Each student sought to be free, to choose for himself the goals of his future, and to pursue those goals in his own way. Every Warrior in the high school arena was seeking his own pathway to individual educational and vocational freedom. Vote!

Adding to the high school learning ex- perience were such activities as class- room or organizational field trips, pep rallies, football games, and participation in local or state conferences and work- shops. Warriors united themselves not only in their experiences but also in the spirit of friendship and cooperation. But just as important as the group was the individual and his quest for so- litude and knowledge. One could often find the Warrior studying in a remote corner or reading or relaxing under a tree. These moments of singular existence allowed the student the individual learn- ing experience of self-inquiry. Individual Chameleon in hand.

A teenager ' s rernihisces centered arOund memories pf an intimate circle of buddies who helped each other through good and bad times. Whatever the occasion — a dance, a movie, an afternoon at the pool — friends were seen experi- encing life together. Bridging the generation gap. many students forged lasting bonds with faculty members. After working closely together, athletic coaches and club sponsors formed especially strong attach- ments with their charges. During the Kecoughtan years, students made friendships which did not end after graduation, but remained for a lifetime. Rehashing the outcome of the game.

The Home- coming football game and its accom- panying festivities, with Bernice Comp- ton crowned queen, provided a much- needed boost in school spirit. ' As the end of the first semester . drew near, the ICC-sponsored Winter Carnival drew approximately twenty clubs and organizations to take part in a fun-filled day of fund-raising. The French, German, Spanish, and Latin Clubs participated in the annual Foreign Language Christmas Program. A school year is never without its share of dances, and Keyettes and Key Clubbers worked diligently to provide Warriors with an annual Christmas dance, the Mistletoe and Holly Ball. An important part of the Kecoughtan scene was the band, under the direc- tion of Mr. Fred Pendergraft. Band members gave spirited performances at pep rallies, football games, and con- certs, and ended the year with a root- beer and pretzel concert. With the advent of basketball, a sec- ond homecoming dance saw senior Annie Weih crovvned queen. Putting the finishing touches On a fun-filled year ' _ were important events such as the Ju- . nior Ring Dance, Senior Prom, and ' - Class NighC SAT ' s,ACH ' s, and Ad- vanced Placemen behind, old friends and-acquairrtances found themselves reliving the highlights of thO year.

' Chr,s Ames works as a dry cleaners assistant at his father s shop Shark attack! Perhaps the most memorable event of the Summer of ' 75 was the onslaught of the movie Jaws, and the near ceaseless waves of publicity it spawned. Hamptonians thronged to the theater to be thrilled and chilled by the suspenseful film. The movie ' s success was due to the fact that it relieved summer boredom by providing macabre excitement. Its side effects were widespread, including everything from Jaws T-shirts to plastic shark fins. The shark talk, however, didn ' t stop people from frequenting the beaches, though some swimmers were hesitant about entering the water. Buckroe and Grandview beaches furnished sites for many impromptu night parties. Water- lovers proved their loyalty by sailing, surfing, and waterskiing, or just getting wet in between rounds of sunbathing. Water was not the only means of rec- reation. Everyone had his own favorite pastime. Tennis and biking ranked among the most popular. Tennis enthusiasts rose at the break of dawn and hurried to play before the courts became crowded. Hampton served the community by providing lessons on Warrior courts. Biking gained new impetus. Cyclists peddled to help reduce the high cost of gas, as well as for exercise and fun. Other activities included baseball leagues, playing frisbee, trips, summer school, or just being plain lazy! Two new recreational parks also be- came part of the summer scene: Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Old Country offered exciting and diverse opportunities for job and fun seekers alike. The last week of vacation found everyone trying to squeeze in extra fun to lengthen the summer. Seniors were un- willingly reminded of school when they re- ported there for senior portraits. Some- how, summer had slipped by, leaving many projects unaccomplished; yet many good memories lingered for everyone. When the fateful day inevitably arrived, the Warriors returned to Kecoughtan. Back-to- school-blues could not last long as plans for the coming year were made. Looking forward to football games and fun with old and new friends, students began the year with the Spirit of ' 76.

Sopho- mores milled around in the Kecoughtan auditorium. Gathered in cliques from Buckroe, Syms, and Spratley, everyone moaned over the fact that school was, for them, beginning on August 26. It seemed as if summer kept getting shorter every year! The orientation program gave the newcomers their first taste of Kecoughtan creativity. Arranged by Senior class president Marty Baxter, vice-president Kent Lester, and a number of upperclass- men, it consisted of traditional skits, music, speakers, and pep routines. The audience got the most pleasure from the skits, which included a revised edition of The Twelve Years of Schooling, A Day in the Cafeteria, and Coach Beef and the Beeferonies. The Pillowcase Pygmies, who danced to a speedy version of Sister Goldenhair, captured the audience’s hearts with their funny faces. Unplanned laughs were provided by Steve Alford, who proved to be a good Con- ductor in a most electrifying moment when a faulty record palyer shocked him. Principal Mr. Harry B. Dyche headed the array of speakers, which included SCA president Steve Mewborn, who welcomed the new Braves, and Guidance Director, Mrs. Jane Price, who explained the new nine-weeks scheduling program. Band volunteers received a rousing ovation as the forceful beat of The Horse filled the auditorium, prompting the majorettes to a fast-paced routine. Following the majorettes, the flagtwirlers gyrated to the soul sound of Get It On. The cheerleaders worked hard and exuded enthusiasm in an attempt to instill the newcomers with the famous Warrior Spirit. Asked to participate in the Victory Cheer, most Sophomores hesitantly responded, asking each other Should we do this? or even What are we doing? Finally a murmured rendition of the Alma Mater arose from the few upperclass- men who held copies of the seemingly forbidden words. Students filed out into the unexplored labyrinth, prepared, hope- fully, for the ninth long months of schooling at KHS. What will they do next? Sophomore Pam Weaver doesn ' t Uh Oh, lost again !

Not lacking this quality. Enthusiastic Edna leaps up and down on the bleachers, screaming herself hoarse. Edna is com- pletely unaware of the dirty looks she is receiving from Apathetic Alice and Bored Bertha. They do not enjoy Edna ' s jostling and shrieking.

SPIRIT, let ' s hear it!!! Challenging the student body to display their spirit, the SCA planned a week of activities prior to the game with arch rival Hampton. Al- though the Homecoming loss of the pre- vious week to Warwick appeared to have dampened some of the students’ zeal. Warrior enthusiasm was re-kindled as Spirit Week progressed. Proclaiming Tuesday as Green and White Day. the SCA urged all students to don their school colors; however, most students either forgot or ignored the request. Many showed up in green, red, plaid and checked outfits. On Wednesday, students crowded into the cafeteria for a fund-raising slave auction. The guys bid on the various cheerleaders and majorettes to be slaves for the day. Thursday, the girls retaliated as reluctant guys were pushed to the sales stand, where they were quickly auctioned off and taken away by their owners. Spirit Day culminated the fun-filled week with the 50’s reigning supreme. Students dressed fifties style with bobby socks, loafers, long skirts, and greased back hair. Ecstatic Seniors paraded in garish costumes in the halls and then won the coveted Spirit Jug for displaying the most class spirit. Although Spirit Week began on an apa- thetic note, the Warriors finally rallied to support the football team in their stand against the Crabbers. Jitterbugging wildly.

Raucous cheers reverberated throughout the girls ' gym during the pre-game pep rally, contri- buting to the excitement as students anticipated the Homecoming Football Game The annual Bonfire and Volkswagen races had been held the previous night at Gosnold ' s Hope Park. Unfortunately the bonfire was drizzled out by inter- mittent rain. After two attempts, the strong Junior Class claimed the victory of the Volkswagen races with a time of 1 4.2 seconds Mum ' s the word was the password as Seniors scurried through the halls, delivering Football Homecoming chrysan- themums to KHS girls from their admirers. Weeks of preparation culminated in a day of bustling activity as all the Warriors readied themselves for the big night. While the Homecoming Parade wound through the streets of Old Hampton, the prevailing question in everyone ' s mind was Who stole from whom? The themes represented by the Junior and Senior floats were nearly identical. Enthusi- astic clubs, the KHS band, and ROTC cadets were the traditional entries. Homecoming attendants and the newly crowned Miss Phoebus, Kecoughtan ' s Kathy Gear, paraded in bright Corvettes provided by the Corvette Club. The hottest entry was the Senior Class Float. Titled Warrior Raids are Dyn-0- Mite, it unexpectedly burst into flames during the procession. The fire extin- guisher concealed in the giant Raid can failed to do its job, but Hampton fire- men quickly arrived on the scene. After putting out the fire, they escorted the slightly charred float to Darling Stadium. A lively half-time performance by the mighty Warrior Band augmented the evening. The Homecoming attendants, escorted through the ROTC ' s arch of sabres, were Seniors Barbara Hoenniger and Terry Cobb; Juniors Beth Blair and Karen Murray; and Sophomore twins Julie and Joy Lesley. A radiant Bernice Comp- ton followed them to be crowned queen by Assistant Principal, Dr. Allen Davis. Pre-game rumors became fact as the Class of ' 78 won the first place float trophy. Disgruntled Seniors had to be satisfied with a close second. Distribu- tive Education received the third place award. Another major upset of the evening clouded Homecoming spirit as the football team suffered a 34-0 defeat at the hands of the Warwick Raiders. Maxx Inc., a Hampton band, provided music for the Homecoming Dance held in the cafeteria after the game. The no jeans allowed rule apparently fell through, as students wore just about anything. Despite a lack of decoration, a paucity of refreshments, and sporadic silences due to power failures, dancers managed to revive the pre-game spirit as they boogied on through the night.

The German Club ' s rendition gave an original, amusing twist to the familiar How the Grinch Stole Christmas. In contrast, the Spanish Club added a serious note with a moving performance of The Gift. Members of the Latin Club presented readings of the Nativity Scene in English and Latin.

Having set up their booths the day before, anxious club members bustled about Saturday, December 16, in prepara- tion for the ICC-sponsored Winter Carni- val. Approximately twenty clubs and or- ganizations particpated in the festivities with hopes of raising money for their up- coming Spring activities. Hot buttered popcorn, cotton candy, clowns, and lively music — all added to the carnival atmosphere. Attending students and faculty could choose between a wide variety of activities ranging from fortune-telling to dart-throwing, to eating. Little children ' s cries of joy filled the gym. Hey, Mom! I won, I won! I won a prize! No one was im- mune from the carnival spirit. And just as quickly as it had begun, the carnival was over. Though tired and lacking enthusiasm after working long hours, club members and sponsors put away tables, swept floors, and measured their success by the amount of money in the cash box. Mmm, good!

The hospitable atmosphere of Sir Thomas ' Tavern invited hungry guests to sample holiday goodies from tables laden with food fit for a royal governor of colonial times. The exciting sounds of Diamond Dupree filled the air with a pulsating rhythm. Semi-formal attire did not in- hibit the dancers as they moved in the modern disco styles to today ' s music. The dance ended much too soon. De- parting guests strayed back for one last look down the Duke of Gloucester Street, its once festive radiance dimmed as the band packed up to leave. Slowly, guests emerged from the spirit of an old-fash- ioned Christmas to the 20th century. Take that and that!

Coordinating instruments emitted a medley of tunes as the Kecoughtan band ' s annual Winter Concert got underway. The musicians swept their audience along with boogie-woogie, jazz tunes, popular marches, broadway show stoppers, classical symphonic pieces, and familiar easy-listening music.

With only a few weeks of school be- hind them, the drama club began w ork on its first production. The one-act play. The Black Cat. adapted from a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, was performed before a school assembly on November 20, 1975. The second drama production for the year leaned toward a Bicentennial theme. A Land Beyond the River by Loften Mitchell dealt primarily with the segregation of southern schools, and the black struggle to overcome this prejudice. The attendance at both productions, although not outstanding, was fair, and the actors were highly acclaimed for their dedication and ability, I j = Is it the wicked witch of the West?

Club members had prepared tempting food dishes native to the countries they re- presented. The end result: a feast fit for a king! The German Exchange students were special guests at the banquet, and pro- vided the entertainment for the evening by singing robust German bar songs.

Sally Doyle was given the honor of the John Phillip Sousa Award. The afternoon culminated with the popular tune On the Mall.

Will Harrison and Leigh Ann Freshcorn, as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, announce the winners in the Best Dancer category A Dance To Exhaustion The annual dance held by the sopho- mores involved one of the craziest compe- titions ever invented — a marathon! For six hours, KHS students attempted to out dance each other. Eleven couples braved the night ' s competition, looking forward to the grand prize of $20.00 Several hours of vigo- rous dancing found couples staggering in near exhaustion to a variety of juke box tunes. A panel of volunteer judges al- ways stayed close by to make sure the dancers kept their feet moving at all times, even in between songs! As the performers grew wearier, and their feet more tired, they kept their partners a- wake with such antics as secret punches, kicks and threats muttered into each other ' s ears. After six hours of agonizing movement made pleasurable by the visions of prize money, the eleven entries were still going strong, and the audience ' s favorite couple, Lani Pray and Mardy South, were proclaimed as the winners.

The Bicen- tennial Spirit was emphasized by the red, white, and blue worn by the girls while they performed their routine. Master of Ceremonies, Rick Clark, WVEC-TV ' s Sandy the Clown, introduced the contestants as they modeled their individual dating apparel. Judged on an equal basis with dating apparel and eve- ning gowns, the talent competition pro- ved to be the high point of the show. The variety of talent ranged from tap dancing and ballet to piano solos and gymnastics. Following a brief intermission, the ten girls modeled exquisite formals for the audience and judges to the melodic theme from Romeo and Juliet. After the evening gown competition, the judges be- gan serious deliberations as to the winner, while the audience was enter- tained by a mini-pageant — Miss Gorgeous Green and White. A bevy of beauties made up of such lovelies as Tiny but Terrific Tina, Loaded Lola, and Frigid Fran paraded across the stage flaunting their petite frames with hairy legs pro- truding from combat boots. In total astonishment, Dave Morton as Horny Hazel shrieked with ecstacy and reeled back- wards into the arms of her fellow contestants as she was awarded the co- veted title of Miss Gorgeous Green and White. Tension mounted in the auditorium as the girls formed a chain on stage a- waiting the final decision. First to break the chain was Chris Duck, named Miss Congeniality, a title voted on by the contestants themselves. Patti Weih joined Chris near the front of the stage, having received acknowledgement as most talented for her gymnastic routine. The girls exchanged nervous smiles when the time came for the an- nouncement of the runners up. Annie Weih was named second-runner up, and thunderous applause filled the audi- torium when Beth Blair, sponsored by the Annual Staff, was given the im- portant title of first runner up. The evening climaxed when junior Patti Weih was crowned Miss KHS 1 976.

Highlights — 41 A Gem of an Evening The air was cool and refreshing on the evening of April 3. 1 976, as two sparkling, faceted rings were escorted into the brightly decorated Kecoughtan annex by a junior couple. As the formally attired juniors greeted their friends, the new rings were mutually admired. The more delicate rings were garbed in shining formals, their stones a rainbow of cor- sages that lent individuality to each. The masculine rings, ranging from small to jumbo, came in a variety of silver and gold tuxes, with multi-colored gems for lapels The atmosphere of a fresh spring day carried out a May Day them e. White picket fences, archways, and trellises draped with daffodils, jonquils, and tulips de- corated the walls. Hues of emerald, peridot green, aquamarine blue, black onyx, and topaz shimmered and reflected off the walls as couples swirled happily to the rock music of Just Us. As the magical hour of midnight ap- proached, the exhausted yet ecstatic rings turned their humans for the 77th time. Shew!

The 1976 annual Military Ball for ROTC cadets and graduates was held in the Marine Training Center on March 27th. Sea decorations carried out the theme of a moonlit ocean scene. The evening climaxed with the an- nouncement of two door prizes. Winners Kathy Salnoske received $1 5.00 and Vernon Seekens received $ 1 0.00.

With the addition of more art trophies, the total number of medals was larger than in previous years. Winner of the greatest amount of honors, Marshall Ross captured the Outstanding Creative Writing Award and the Army ROTC Scholar- ship. Marshall and Janet Therianos were co-winners of the coveted DAR Good Citizenship Awards. For her contributions to the school and assistance to teachers and adminis- trators, Jane Berry received the Bow and Arrow Award. As the Junior with the highest combined average in math and science, Louis Yuengert was presented the Rensselaer Medal.

However, the meeting was peaceful — it was the NJROTC Annual Awards ceremony, directed by Commander E.J. Stronski, held to honor outstanding members. Following several musical selections, played by the US Ataintic Fleet Cere- monial Band, Ensign Roger Brown, com- pany chaplain, delivered the invocation. Principal Harry B Dyche formally wel- comed the quests, and the presentation of awards began. Lieutenant Commander David Jennings personally won ten awards, including the Distinguished Cadet Award, Senior Scho- lastic Award, and an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Another winner of the Scholastic Awards, soph- omore James Hendrickson captured seven other awards. After the presentation, the entire company passed in review in front of the appreciative audience. Commanded by Ensign Dan Wertman, the Drill Team gave one of its well-prepared performances.

Two hundred years ago today, a memorable occasion occurred for the Senior Class of Kecoughtan High School. As the prom theme song, Times of Your Life played, the seniors, girls clad in white and boys in dark, filed ceremoniously into the KHS auditorium. This momentous ceremony could only be Class Night 1 976. After being seated together, the se- niors listened attentively as Chaplain Cindy Taylor delivered a touching invo- cation. Next, co-emcees, Wally Nelson and Lupita Rendon introduced Debbie Crum, who recited the sophomore year of the class history. Following Debbie ' s reci- tation came skits, reminding seniors of the absolute horrors of their sophomore year. Other skits, portraying the junior and senior years conisted of pep rallies, the S P A T, team, and the famous Pillow- case Pygmies. Between skits, the audience was entertained by Randy Karnes and his amazing unicycle. Calming the audience after the hi- larious acts was Leslie Englehart deli- vering the junior year history, and the presentation of awards by Mr. Dyche, Senior Class president Marty Baxter, and sponsor Ms. Jeannie Smith. Awards were given to Highest Honors students, chair- men of class committees, and class of- ficers. The audience was then treated to a very truthful skit, reliving Senior Skip Weekend at Nags Head, North Carolina. After nearly 2 Vi hours. Class Night 1976 neared its end, and saddened seniors reflected on a multitude of memories as a slide presentation, accompanied by Janet Porter singing The Way We Were, caused previously held-back tears to flow. The seniors rose solemnly and re- cessed to the auditorium lobby to be greeted by enthusiastic friends and loving parents And that ' s the way it was June 4, 1976, 200 years ago today . . .

Gaily decorated with bright orange streamers and a rainbow backdrop, the dis- guised Coliseum displayed a May Day theme. Garbed in light tuxedos and spring formals, senior couples arriving at the dance, after enjoying fancy dinners, were pleasantly surprised by the comfortable surroundings. The music for the dancers was supplied by Gas House Gang, and one hundred tables provided ample seating for the less active couples. During one of the bands breaks, the 1 976 Senior Prom Court was announced, and as nervous couples stood in front of their classmates, Teresa Canton and Kent Lester were crowned queen and king. After the coronation, couples drifted into the center of the Coliseum to dance to the Prom theme song: Times of Your Life. All too soon, the hour of one o ' clock rolled around: the band stopped playing: the lights came on, and weary but satis- fied couples drifted out into the cool night to head for their post- Prom destina- tions.

This is it, folks . . As the long-awaited strains of Pomp and Circumstance echoed through the Hampton Coliseum, over 500 nervous seniors filed solemnly from the lobby to take their seats. The moments before had seemed like a dream, or a movie, as the seniors stood together, clad in caps and gowns, waiting in the wings for that final walk together, as a class. After the invocation, given by Father Eugene Daigle, class speakers, Marty Bax- ter, Kathy Gear, and Peter Price delivered their personal messages to the Class. Ten- sion mounted as the time for receiving the coveted diplomas neared. All was silent. except for applause, as the first row of seniors rose and proceeded to the stage to receive their diplomas from Mr. Harry B. Dyche. The silence was omnipresent as the first few rows filed onto the stage, then off, but by the time the 1 5th row had risen, muffled whispers from the front rows could be heard. What row is that one? Turn around and look! I ' m not going to turn around! Ask that girl! Hey, what row are you in? As Senior Class president Marty Baxter was presented his diploma, the seniors-no, the graduates-anchored their caps and turned their tassles. Emotions were contained as the rows filed out of the Coliseum past the faculty and friends ' beaming faces. In the lobby after the recessional, however, tears flowed, caps flew into the air, and excited graduates could at last say with truth, We ' re free at last! Reflecting the solemnity of the occasion.

Chosen delegates spent one week studying and running their own city and state governments. Eligibility was limited to outstand- ing juniors with such commendable quali- ties as leadership, scholarship, character, community service, and physical fitness. The final selection of delegates and alter- nates was completed by a faculty com- mittee, composes of teachers, counselors, and principals. Eight boys represented Kecoughtan at Lynchburg College, and the nine girls travelled to Longwood College. After a week of hard but pleasurable work, the delegates returned home, satisfied with the roles they had achieved and the over- all learning and growing experience.

One nine weeks a student could find himself in class studying Shakespeare ' s tragedies. The next nine weeks he could be in Make Believe, acting out the part of Macbeth or King Lear. Furthering his mastery of the English language, the student could study vocabulary in Word Power. Courses offered were extremely varied, presenting students with a share in the responsibility of their own education, particularly in the selection of their courses. The system also provided a more flexible program of English studies for the average student, as well as allowing students opportuni- ties to deal with a variety of teacher personalities and styles. Perhaps the most successful asset of the nine weeks system was that students could finish their requirements, thus allowing them enough time to take courses that were of interest to them.

Good thing I ' ve got my trusty calculator with me! This problem may seem difficult for the average math student, but those who really wanted the answer used calcu- lators. Throughout the math classes, time was very precious — each second was needed to learn intricate rules, methods, and many formulas. For this reason, calcu- lators became a standard item, assisting students with time consuming problems. Math courses ranged from Algebra to Calculus. Fifteen mini-courses were introduced, enabling students to obtain credits in areas of their own interests and abilities. Some students took math only to fulfill graduation requirements; others enrolled in courses needed for college and careers in various fields. For the first time, the math program offered something for everyone.

The shocked statement was a reaction to the revelation that biology was no longer a compulsory course Despite that, classes were just as crowded as before One factor which may have contributed to the course ' s new popularity was the nine weeks system, offering an assortment of mini- courses catering to various interests. The most popular classes included Human Development, Genetics, and Animal Taxo- nomy Endowing students with all the groundwork they needed to continue, Basic Chemistry lasted the first semester. Second semester students were given their choice of courses. Environmental Chemistry captured the interest of most students who were drawn by the use of outside ex- periments, such as analyzing car exhausts for lead content. Physics was broken down into two levels. General Level Physics catered to all students interested in physics, but not necessarily as preparation for college. College Preparatory Physics required seniors to have completed trigonometry. The nine weeks system expanded all the science classes, offering diversified courses for students.

Classes were designed to enlarge the curriculum ' s scope and, moreover, fit into the quinmester plan. Seniors selected from a spectrum of courses, such as Communism, International Relations, and Comparative Government. Ancient philosophies were discussed com- paratively and were contrasted with the ideas of today. In more specific areas, students were exposed to both American and foreign governments, and studied the theories and ideologies upon which they were based. Juniors, too, were challenged by the various new history courses, for example, the American Revolution and Twentieth Century America. A footnote to the new scheduling was the mix-up between two courses having similar titles. Unable to distinguish between Internationalism and International Relations, the computer placed numerous, and obviously displeased, students in the incorrect classes. As a result, the guidance office was flooded with complaints. Although still in its experimental stage, the general concensus of students and teachers concerning the new curricu- lum was of a favorable tone. In a way, the Kecoughtan Social Studies Department was making its own history each day. Do you have any three ' s? Go fish!

Students enrolled in the Distributive Education program participated in both classroom and on-the-job training in re- tailing. Students were able to proceed at their own pace with the aid of Learning Activity Packets. After a series of pre- tests, students could center their studies on individual needs. In typing and stenography classes, the Block Program was once again used, offering a more individualized method of acquiring knowledge and skills. Students enrolled in the advanced Blocks had an opportunity to participate in the Cooper- ative Office Education Program, which placed students in office jobs throughout the community. JJJ . . .

Billy Harden warms up for Lab Band Adjusting to the nine weeks system, the Fine Arts Department broke the con- fining barriers of traditional art classes. Kecoughtan became a trend setter in that it was the only high school in Hampton to offer a jewelry making class. One major change in the Choral Department was the implementation of Title IX which stated that no student could be discriminated against. With the recent uprising of Women ' s Lib, many stereotypes were challenged, even within the school system. Titles were care- fully chosen so as not to show partiality towards either sex. For example. Girls ' and Boys ' Choruses were deleted from the program, and reintroduced as Soprano- Alto and Tenor-Bass. Band classes were also subdivided to match the quinmester program. A new course. Lab Band, was initiated for the students who had not taken band in junior high school. The Home Economics Department re- mained basically the same.

One reason given for the change was that it would enable students to discontinue difficult courses without failing. Basically, these foreign language classes covered similar materials as in previous years. However, the Spanish Department made one breakthrough with their new mini- courses. Designed to teach cultural aspects of the Spanish speaking countries, rather than concentrating on the language, the class benefited students interested in Spanish culture. Dress, customs and traditional foods were some of the major topics covered. Nevertheless, enough Spanish was taught to enable the students to communicate. French and German classes remained essentially the same. Audio- Lingual materials, slides, movies, and even cur- rent pop music of France and Germany provided diverse means of learning. In addition to their respective languages, cultures of the French and German classes were studied. Latin classes focused on history and cultures of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. T ranslating writings of various philosophers, students gained knowledge of mythology and other topics, in addition to increasing their vocabulary and grammar skills. A new approach to class- room learning was offered through a simulated game in which characters such as Julius Caesar were portrayed by the Latin students.

Lisa Pike started the competition off with a bang, when she shot her way into first place in the district. It was a doubly proud day when the Kecoughtan drill team captured first place overall. As a result of their fine performances, the rifle team went on to Charlottesville for the state finals. Once again, the drill team dominated the field, and their first place win propelled them into the nation- al meet, held at Fort Meyer in April. The accomplished rifle team surprised even themselves when they captured the fourth place honor. The final affair on the ROTC agenda was the annual military ball. Prepara- tions for the spring time social event were made long in advance of the final date. To raise the necessary money, the club sold candy, set-up a nickel toss at the ICC Winter Carnival, and vended the popular Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Candles!

Terrified, the victims entered the white trailer at the outer edge of the driving range. For twenty-two days they endured a unique experience: learning the art of driving from tough instructors. The use of simulator, range, and actual on-the-road experience strengthened skills. The simulator contained ten bodiless cars and a screen for the movies. Films of residential and highway driving were show to emphasize the concepts of safe driving. On the range, students were taught such skills as three-point turns, paral- lel parking, and figure-eight maneuvering. Directions were transmitted through one- way speakers, an arrangement which pro- ved a problem when students could not inform their instructor that it was the defective seat belt system which pre- vented the car from starting! Most feared by all inexperienced drivers, the road provided practical application for skills learned on the range. The first on the road experiences consisted of residential driving, and slowly progressed to interstate driving.

In every competi- tion there is a conqueror and a con- quered. In the ' 75- ' 76 season, it was not rare to find old losers becoming winners, and old winners losers. Some teams, such as boys ' tennis, continued in their winning ways. Females made great strides in their struggle for recognition as the gymnastics team won first in the district, and two players earned spots on the J V soccer squad. Whether they won or lost, athletes found strength in the team. The state champion soccer groups and the inex- perienced wrestlers were alike in spirit and determination. While talent could make temporary winners, only teamwork could form permanent champions. After a tiring 220-yd sprint, tracker Kent Lester passes the baton to teammate Frank Davis. Teamwork — 78 We WON ! As football practice once again sig- naled the beginning of a fresh season, new players were not the only strange faces on the field. A new coaching staff had been employed to fill the vacancy left after the resignations of Coach Ben Rich and his staff. Head Coach Aaron Gibson and his assistants John Pauls, Brian Hebert, Paul Macklin, and Mike Dixon set out to bring the team out of the cellar and find new light for the football program. Hard work and innovative tactics uti- lized by the coaches proved fruitful as the team bettered last year ' s record of 0-9-1 to 3-7. A strong defense and pass- ing game were the team ' s key assets, making up for their weakness in the running game. Despite the seemingly lackluster record, the wins set the stage for more improvement in the future. The high point of the season was the game against arch-rival Hampton. Dis- missing the fact that Hampton was heavily favored to win, the Warriors scored first on a pass from quarterback Billy Thomas to Dave Morton. The Crabbers then struggled back to score two touchdowns, which proved fatal, making the final score 14-6. Even though the Warriors lost, they managed to hold the Crabbers to two touchdowns instead of their usual 30 points a game.

Defeated only by District champion Menchville, 22-38, the Cross Country Team finished with a respectable 5-1 record in District competition. The team ' s best effort was the perfect score of 1 5-47 in their victory over Denbigh. The harriers placed fourth in the Regional meet and tied for thirteenth in state competition. Senior Steve Wingfield, team captain, set a personal record by finishing first in every district dual meet in which he participated. The nucleus behind Steve, composed of seniors David Glover, Mark Broxterman, Kent Lester, Tony Lambert, Frank Davis, Joe Curtin, and Harry Hundley, also contributed to the victories of the team. A foot injury to Tony Lambert hurt the tearp ' s success in the latter part of the season. Valuable experience and practice were gained by juniors Robert Morris, Sean Moran, William Selman, Wayne Flournoy, Don Powell, and Kevin Moran. Coach Lew Faxon thought the runners fared well, but should have finished first in the District instead of a medi- ocre third.

Once they got started, it seemed that nothing could stop the mighty Warriors. Their greatest disappointment was their in- ability to surpass last year ' s record of three broken windows during rumbles on the bus trips home from victorious matches. On the way to the state championship, forwards Mike Edmonds and Alan Lindsay led in the offense with a combined total of 34 goals, to the oppositions ' 19. A strong defense, led by co-captain Dave Falletti and Greg Sepp Boles allowed an average of less than one goal a game with nine shutouts. Halfbacks John Wilkerson and John J.C ' Cape proved to be impor- tant factors of Kecoughtan ' s effectiveness, dominating the midfield against very stiff competition. School support was on the increase, and at every home game avid supporters could be heard cheering the team to victory. Head coach Joe Hagy and assis- tant coach Don Lindsay led the players in long practice hours in basic skills and scrimmage. A novice group with only two returning seniors turned into another formidable Warrior Soccer Team.

Near the goals, the muck was ankle deep by the end of the season. However, with a few willing hands, some dirt and a wheelbarrow, the field was repaired sufficiently for a 6-0 victory over Armstrong of Richmond in the quarter-finals of the Virginia Soccer League Tournament. In the semi-finals, Kecoughtan edged out Trinity Episcopal, breaking a 1 - 1 tie with corner kicks, but had to settle for a second place trophy after losing to hosts Thomas Jefferson in the finals. The Warriors found some solace in the fact that three of the team members were elected to the league ' s All-State team. Senior co-captain Mike Edmonds, who scored a record-breaking total of 47 goals in one season, was selected, along with senior John Wilkerson and junior Alan Lin dsay. Another Warrior, junior John Cape, was elected to the All-State second team. Revenge was the name of the game on March 6, when the soccer team traveled to Richmond for the annual Six-A-Side tourn- ament. After an exhausting day of num- erous games, the Warriors ' A-team reached the finals and found themselves pitted once again against the team from Thomas Jefferson. Both teams ' defenses were especially strong, and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. New rules decreed that four-minute, sudden death overtimes had to be played until one team scored. The teams ' weary players battled until the middle of the fifth overtime period, when Alan Lindsay scored to give an ela- ted Kecoughtan team its third consecutive Six-A-Side Championship. With amazing skill and dexterity, senior John Wilkerson displays the soccer team ' s greatest attribute — Humility.

Both times, their aspirations for first were crushed by fine performances from Lafayette. In district action, two gold medals were won by Joe Ziglar, Aric Johnson, and Rick Penn. Delivering his finest performance of the season, Rick Penn captured fourth place in the state competition. Although they finished with a com- mendable 8-2 record, the team felt it could have done much better.

Inexperience was so rampant that Coach Bill Cawley was forced to place six students with no previous training on the starting squad. Despite these overpowering setbacks, the team worked-out diligently under the leadership of captain Kelvin Gatling two and a half hours after school each week day and on Saturdays. Assistant Coach Buddy Denton, trying his hand at the sport for the first time, provided needed encouragement by his frequent pep talks. Perhaps the most exciting match was against Denbigh, third-ranked in the district, when the KHS grapplers came within one match of winning the team match. Looking to the future, the team sees much brighter aspects. The entire varsity team will be returning, including two lettering grapplers — Rudi Mizusawa, third in the district, and Pat Duffy.

Wherever the green and white uniforms appeared, the applause was loudest. Assisting the cheerleaders with unlimited spirit and cheering the team on to vic- tory were uppermost for the Pep Club. Sponsors Mrs. Evelyn Oliver and Miss Zelma Lockley led the club through various activities, including marching in the Homecoming parade, participating in the Homecoming pep rally, and having a booth at the ICC Carnival. To further enhance student spirit, the club made posters and sponsored the Coach of the Year contest. Bake sales also earned money for their various projects. Front Row: Claudia Blackley.

Long jumper Gregg Schmitz attained the Best Field Performer title in strong jumps. Standout miler Steve Wingfield improved his form the most throughout a season that saw KHS capture fifth place in the District and sixth in the Regional contest. Head Coach Ben Rich felt very pleased with his team. He viewed the victory over Bethel in the indoor track season as a momentous oc- casion.

Cheering was their duty and the team did it well. Bringing home new ideas and exciting routines from summer camp, along with ribbons for excellence, they kept crowds spellbound with human pyramids, tumbles, and rolls. Head cheerleaders Annie Weih and Lani Pray led the team through varied projects, from selling donuts, to work- ing a booth at the ICC Carnival. Embroi- dered pillowcases were their Football Homecoming task. Sweet dreams for Victory decorated many a player ' s pillow the night before the big game.

These posters, frantically exhorting the need for creative works, could be seen plastered all over the halls from the beginning of the school year until only a month from its end. Contributions were difficult to obtain from students; however, works trickled in all year. As the year progressed, several Torch members attended the VSHL publica- tion Workshop held in Charlottesville, Virginia, where they were introduced to new magazine techniques. Torch also received a First Place rating as a liter- ary magazine.

The group published twelve regular issues, each containing diverse and informative sections, including news articles, sports reports, and editorials. A final news- paper was turned out in May. Dedicated to the Seniors, this last Tribal Tales included a tribute to the graduating Warriors, a list of their achievements, and the traditional Last Will and Testament. Motivated by Mrs. Joel Grimm, Tribal Tales sponsor, the organization partici- pated in fund-raising events through the year. The group collected $250.00 for the Daily Press Christmas Fund. In order to raise money for mounting debts, the staff held a candy sale and a “Fish- for-Gifts booth at the ICC Carnival. In recognition of the paper ' s coverage of teen-age concerns.

Debbie Wilson and Charles Hamlin paint signs advertising the Winter Carnival Bigger and Better than before In its role as an organization re- presenting the entire student body, the SCA was the most active and most effec- tive group in the school. President Steve Mewborn, assisted by several other stu- dents, opened the school year with the Sophomore Orientation Program. As soon as the seniors and juniors returned to school, the group, sponsored by Mr. Gar- land Wesson, printed and distributed stu- dent handbooks and SCA cards, asking only that each student donate 50c After co-ordinating the election of Sophomore Class officers, the group spon- sored the much-anticipated Back to School dance in September. Throughout the football and basketball seasons, the SCA set up all the pep rallies, securing faculty members to judge the competitive Spirit Jug contests. As a community service, the group sponsored the Thanksgiving Basket project to collect money and food for needy families. The SCA was also instrumental in planning the Indoor Winter Carnival, held on December 1 3 in the Girls ' Gym. For its Christmas project, the or- ganization purchased gifts for Kecoughtan ' s secretarial staff, maids and custodial staff. The task of selecting council rep- resentatives was quadrupled under the new quinmester system. Each nine weeks, the students entered new classes, so that new representatives and alternates had to be selected. The Warriors were active at loca l levels also. City-wide SCA workshops attracted more than fifty stu- dents from Kecoughtan. In preparation for the 76- ' 77 year, SCA officers were elected. Looking toward the future, a committee was selected to update the present SCA constitution with contemporary curriculum. Even though the SCA was the largest Kecoughtan organization, it remained sensitive to every student ' s opinions. This attitude was instrumental in gaining the support of the student body. 143 Recording the results of round three, Sharon Bromley and Jane Berry spend hours in the tabulation room during a debate tournament From behind a perpetually cluttered desk, coach Bill Haas expresses his opinion at a debate meeting Ready to begin the first affirmative speech, George Holmes takes his place behind the podium during an exhibition debate at the Coliseum Mall Preparing for his constructive speech, John Cape searches for evidence while team members Leslie Baker and Ken Westiund look on United We Stand — 1 44 1 pveryone has an opinion!

Mr. William Haas, a new English teacher at KHS, served as coach and spon- sor, recruiting numerous sophomores onto the novice team. Working closely with captain Gary Bromley, Mr. Haas attempted to incorporate the novices into the frame- work of varsity debate. More often than not, the Varsity Team found itself on the road three weekends each month, attending tournaments in five states during the six month season. Novice debaters accompanied the team on varsity trips as well, serving as timekeepers, while they gained ex- perience from observing varsity rounds. With very few exceptions, Kecoughtan debaters placed well at tournaments, par- ticularly the novices, who participated at the less-competitive local tournaments. At the close of the year, over thirty five team trophies and plaques filled the de- bater ' s trophy case, and many team members earned individual speaker awards. Tournament fees and the cost of over- night trips created a heavy financial burden on the team. On free weekends, what little time that remained to debaters between tournaments and research endeavors was spent selling doughnuts or sponsoring car washes and bake sales. A stereo system was also raffled off as a major fund-raising project, clearing some $250 for the debate fund. Individual dedication was a major factor in the overall success of the year. Coach Haas spent long hours driving home late at night after tournaments. Peggy Short backed Gary Bromley as co-captain, coaching novice debaters and supplying them with essential evidence. Individuals who actively participated became eligible for membership into the National Forensic League. Secretary Debra Fulghum devoted her time to the necessary NFL paperwork, recording points for new members and awarding advanced degrees of distinction to those members who qualified. With the addition of some sixteen new members, the KHS chapter was assured of an NFL charter. United We Stand — 1 45 Shhh! Providing a social and service out- let for students interested in library work, the Library and Audio-Visual Club filled the year with many activities. Service activities began in September with the club ' s Coliseum Mall exhibit for American Education Week. Additional ac- tivities included processing library materials, decorating the library for Christmas, and sprucing-up the library courtyard. Raising funds to replenish the club ' s treasury also occupied time as members sold candy and participated in the ICC carnival. Fund-raising efforts also made possible a $ 1 00 scholarship for the senior who had performed outstanding service for the library. Social activities provided an oppor- tunity for members to mingle among friends. In December, the club hosted a Christmas tea for the library assistants. During National Library Week, the club sponsored a contest which students and faculty entered by simply checking out a book or A-V material. The lucky winners were awarded two free passes to Busch Gardens. Back Row: Kaye Vandehoff. Betty Burak, Janet Kelly, Ben Hornsby. Ginger Patrick, Beverly Ambrose, Steve Craig Front Row: John Graham.

The two organizations also partici- pated in a Christmas Program sponsored by the Foreign Language Department. Their play, warmly received by the parents, was masterfully directed by Mrs. Carolyn Ancarrow. To boost the Spanish Club ' s treasury, members attended the Winter ICC Carnival, while the Spanish Honor Society utilized their knowledge of Spanish customs to perform the Mexican Hat Dance at the Foreign Language Program in the Coliseum Mall.

Members en- gaged in chess battles against each other, and also played sports and military strategy games. The club ' s main goal was to encourage more students to join the team. To promote the popularity of the intellectual ' s game, a chess tourna- ment was held. A money prize enticed no novice players to the competition, and junior John Cape earned first place and S7.50.

Immediate Care and Counseling What organization plans carnivals, arranges school functions and settles disputes between clubs? Need another hint? It ' s a vital branch of the SCA. Of course, the Interclub Council, better known as ICC. The year began with the election by every club and organization of a repre- sentative to the council. Members voted on the practicality of fund raising proj- ects, and arbitrated conflicts between activity dates during bi-monthly meetings. In addition to regulating club acti- vities, the ICC planned a Winter Carnival. Though the attendance was sparse, the clubs involved enjoyed the festive day. Another carnival was tentatively planned for the Spring but the school calendar was filled with other activities. Mr. Garland Wesson, the sponsor, stated that 1 977-78 would definitely see two very successful ICC-hosted carnivals. United We Stand - 157 Service Sociology Style Fulfilling its purpose as a service organization, the Sociology Club initia- ted three major activities during the year. Club members, recognizing the needs of adult patients at the Sarah Bonwell Hudgins Center, entertained them with a Christmas Party. The club ' s annual field trip was made to West Point Indian Re- servation, where students could observe the modes and customs of a society dif- ferent from their own. The ICC Winter Carnival offered the members a chance to set-up a booth for fund-raising. Sponsor Mr. Eugene Moser proposed a club activities bulletin to be published in Tribal Tales to inform students of school activities during the ' 76- ' 77 school year. Lack of money motivated the club to raise funds through various projects. Successful fund-raising endeavors, such as doughnut sales and a car wash, pro- vided the group with money necessary for achievement throughout the year. With participation in such activi- ties, the Sociology Club proved to be a valuable service to the community. If you don t want that hot dog, kid. I’ll take it!

Any uncertainties they might have had about their arrival were quickly wiped away once the plane landed, and the students from Germany received a heartwarming welcome from their American hosts. The whirlwind of activities started the very next day when the students were invited to the Junior Ring Dance. After that came tours of the area ' s main at- tractions, such as Jamestown, Williams- burg, Langley Air Force Base, and NASA. The students also spent a day sight- seeing in Washington, D.C. As if the scheduled activities were not enough, many host families treated their guests to King ' s Dominion, Busch Gardens, the Continents movies, and a Squires basketball game. In order to lose some of the weight gained at the numerous banquets held in their honor, the German students chal- lenged the Kecoughtan soccer team to a friendly game of football. The Ger- mans lost gracefully by a score of 4 to 1 . When asked about their impressions of America, they replied that it was im- mensely new and different from their homeland. Schools offered much more freedom in the U.S., and entertainment was more varied. Many students were so impressed with the American way of life that they were making plans for a second visit. But all good things must end, and on April 21 the students boarded the plane for home, having gained a better knowledge of America, its customs, and the people.

Enjoying themselves at the refreshment table, Sharon Brandsey and Susan Corzilius interrupt their conversation to go back for more goodies Flickering Flames Due to the many qualities demanded of its members, acceptance into the National Honor Society has come to rep- resent intelligence and strength of character. Not a service organization or club, the Society ' s sole purpose was to honor those students with the qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. These attributes were pre- requisites for membership into the group. Officers of the organization included President Shirley Wingfield, Vice-Presi- dent Janice Mills, and Secretary- Treasurer Barbara Hoenninger. Initiation of new members took place on May 1 9th.

I must get it off my chest. You see, I work on the yearbook staff of this high school Yes- terday my editor came in and told me to have sixty pages completed in an hour and a half! Well, maybe only six pages. But this editor is heartless . . . ruthless ... he has no compassion! When I asked for mercy, he chortled sardonically and be- gan to beat me with a pica type-depth gauge! Suddenly there came a click click click down the hall, and a resounding rap on the door. I prayed that it would be someone to save me, but no! It was the staff sponsor, smoke billowing from her ears and nose. Where are those 200 pages that were due yesterday? I want them now! But . . . but . . . I tried to explain to her the editor ' s lack of mercy, but she wouldn ' t listen. You do whatever Cuddles tells you to do! She replied, and whirling about she flew down the hall. I calmed myself, sat down, and at- tempted to write copy on the Cooking with Prunes and Advanced Doughnut Hole Making classes. But the words wouldn ' t come! What could I say? I begged my fellow staffers for assistance, but they refused, and referred me to our motto: If at first you don ' t succeed, the hell with it! But I knew I must try, try again. No one appreciates the blood, sweat and tears that go into the annual. Never a break, never a chance to relax. I have to fight off five people every time I want to use the cropper!

Several minutes later, the grating sound of a bolt being drawn is heard, and the door inches open. A head pops through the space, demanding to know the caller ' s business. Slowly, the photographer ' s eyes focus on the three by five photo request cards in the caller ' s hands. A frenzied look creeps into the blood-shot eyes of the photographer as his tired brain regis- ters the fact that these cards will make the twentieth request of the day, and they are all due for tomorrow ' s deadline. Slamming the door, he draws the bolt back in place. The astonished caller turns to slink away, shaking his head from side to side. The Tomahawk staff photographers spent every sixth period, free period, and lunch time working diligently to process pictures for the yearbook. Their hectic schedule began early in the summer and ended only after the last graduation pictures were developed. Wherever KHS students could be found, one might spot the camera-wielding students. Club meetings, assemblies, games, dances, and after school functions were attended by the photographers. Re- sponsible for taking pictures, they also developed and printed the negatives, employing special effects as high- contrast, fades, and super imposition. Occasionally referred to as the Master Magician, head photographer Marshall Ross had worked in the darkroom since his sophomore year. His right- hand girl was Ann Minniear, assisted by Scott Snyder. Janice Mills and Randy Moses offered sporadic help. The hours were long and the work was difficult, but the camera people developed strong friendships with each other and with other fellow annual staffers. Ahhh . . . Lemme ' see!

In order to give the club budget a shot in the arm, the club sold candy, had bake sales, and sponsored a Balloon- Dart booth at the Winter ICC Carnival. For Valentine ' s Day and during Easter break. Health Career members made visits to Patrick Henry Hospital as part of a community project. Trying to meet the club ' s goal to keep the student body in- formed of career opportunities, the club in vited numerous speakers to the school and sponsored a tour of Riverside Hospital.

DECA was involved in activities of com- munity service such as student employment in local businesses, decorating local stores for Christmas, and collecting money for the Muscular Dystrophy Fund. In ad- dition to these projects were school-or- iented events such as float-making for the homecoming parade, “take a teacher to lunch day and representing Kecoughtan in the Bicentennial 76-mile parade on Memorial Day Being a national organi- zation, the industrious group was provided with opportunities to join fellow DECA members from other schools in softball games, a bowling tournament, and a re- gional recruitment drive. Always on the move, DECA was one club which never failed to find erithusiastic members to support every task undertaken. One aspect of Distributive Educa- tion which readily distinguished DECA from many other school organizations was its ability to provide students with busi- ness knowledge and job skills, an area often overlooked in formal education. This aspect of DECA was appreciated by local businessmen, as evidenced by their willingness to employ DECA ' s future businessmen. In an appreciative gesture, the Distributive Education Club held an employer-employee banquet at the elegant Hispaniola Restaurant at the close of the year.

Color- ful banners adorned the three busses carrying the Kecoughtan High School Band from Hampton to the rustic midwest. A mutual exchange program with Lawrence High School provided the band with the opportunity to exhibit its talent and en- joy an adventurous trip Points of in- terest on the long journey included tours of the Eisenhower and Truman Libraries, the University of Kansas, and the unique countryside. A three month raffle for a S 1 000 prize provided funds for the trip. In- dustrious band members raised $8000 with this project, making the possibility of the trip a reality Aside from the spring excursion to Kansas and the time-consuming money making projects, the band remained busy with other activities. The musicians march- ed in four parades, provided entertainment at home football games, presented five major concerts, and made trips to en- tertain at various city functions. The band proved to be a viable part of the school and the city, performing and acting in a manner which consistently rep- resented Kecoughtan as a talented and respectable school.

Sponsor Coach Dave Nelson allowed students to initiate their own discus- sions which usually centered upon school oriented activities and how members should cope with school problems. The FCA meetings served as an outlet for the students, a time to get together and express their individual fears, problems, victories and opinions. Several activities highlighted the FCA year. During the Christmas season, the members sponsored an all-night Christ- mas party for local FCA chapters as well as alumni members. Special speaker David Bounds from Liberty Baptist College of Lynchburg brought a meaningful message and a devotion at the bi-monthly FCA breakfast the following Saturday morning. Another activity the FCA sponsored was a basketball game between local FCA adult leaders and eight members of the Baltimore Colts football team.

The spring program was represented by the A ' Cappella choir and the other three choruses A special Bicentennial salute featuring American composers developed the theme for the Spring Concert. Al- though the members were kept busy per- forming at an ACDA convention in Wil- liamsburg, they found time to produce an entertaining variety show. The profits from the show and candy sales provided funds to pay for student fees to Regional and State Choral events. Attending the All-City Christmas Concert at the Coliseum, selected members of the choral department displayed the Christmas spirit through the use of their voices. Their supreme singing talent was proven again at the March All-City Concert. Exceptional singers competed for the honor of Regional Chorus, and mem- bers selected for the Regional Chorus contended for the Virginia State Chorus.

Maybe it ' s a precision drill team or an organization for future locksmiths of America! Joking comments such as these were soon answered as the Keyettes rolled into action, answering any questions the stu- dent body might have. The club ' s first project was to build a float for the Homecoming Parade. Members came up with the idea of a pirate being shot out of a stick of dynamite to fit the theme of Warriors are Dy-no-mite. Key Clubbers assisted with the construc- tion of the float. Club members chose A Colonial Christ- mas as the theme for the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball. After various problems like lack of cooperation and last-minute planning, the Annex was remodelled into a winter fantasy-land, complete with cold, frozen streets lined with old houses and a well-lighted tavern. Traditional activities kept Keyettes busy. The fund-raising Spaghetti Dinner served as an outlet for creative energy, and the Covered Dish Supper was a way to introduce new members and say farewell to graduating Keyettes. The Kecoughtan Chapter also worked at local ROT stations, and devoted spare time caring for animals at the SPCA. Keyettes, with occasional cooperation from the Key Club, visited the Virginia School for the Blind, where they entertained the young patients and served them refreshments. Keyettes were often seen at local shopping centers, collecting for various organizations like Multiple Sclerosis and the Heart Fund. The club also sponsored the Fall March of Dimes Walkathon As members and non-members dis- covered, there is nothing mystic about Keyettes. It is a club designed for active girls who wish to contribute time and service to their community. Smile!

While developing their talents and problem- solving abilities, students received an insight into industry and its place in today ' s society. Autumn was spent pre- paring for the Homecoming Float Compe- tition. Utilizing the theme Warriors Are Dyn-o-mite! the club received an honorable mention. Selling candy in and out of school, the students labored diligently to raise funds. Enough money was obtained to pro- vide an underprivileged family with toys and food for Christmas. Hoping to better understand the working world, the clubbers invited dis- tinguished members of various technical fields to talk on their trades. The students listened intently while the guests spoke, and then asked relevant questions. The club members, having been intro- duced to construction, salesmanship, and the various trades, felt they had devel- oped an insight into their future lives in industry. United We Stand — 1 83 As the prime educators of today ' s youth, faculty members devoted long hours preparing for classes and deciding howw to better instruct students. Always endeavoring to improve the offered curriculum, teachers from different departments labored to vvrite up course studies, foundations upon which new and more interesting classes could be built. To develop in students talents other than academic, dozens of Kecoughtan ' s teachers assumed the responsibility of sponsoring clubs and athletics, often providing guidance and inspiration far above wdiat was expected of them. Though often criticized by the teen- agers they instructed, faculty members accomplished their major goal : the suf- ficient education of America ' s youth.

Amiable and genui- nely concerned for the people he worked with, Mr. Dyche developed a friendly rapport with the student body and faculty alike. This atmosphere resulted in a relaxed and productive educational setting. Always willing to experiment with new ideas, Mr. Dyche encouraged teachers to implement innovative instructional methods.

Dr Davis organized and improved the scheduling system. Under his direction, the quinmester plan was developed to its full potential. The duties of Mr. Walter Jones in- cluded the administration of hall lockers, schoo l maintenance, and student attend- ance. Throughout the school year, Mr. Jones directed janitorial work in the school complex and kept daily records of the student body. Head of student affairs, Mr. Larry Waddell was responsible for all extra- curricular activities. His duties in- cluded scheduling fund-raising projects, planning the school calendar, and super- vising the athletic department. School organizations relied upon Mr. Waddell to assist them in solving their difficulties. His dependability was a major factor in the success of many dances and sports events.

The complicated rigamarole of furnishing excuses was made almost simple by the smooth routine of the office aides. Numerous notes from home explain- ing reasons for everything from absences and tardies to pre-arranged trips and early dismissals were quickly dealt with. Despite the mountains of pink, yellow, and green slips of paper issued by the deans, both Mrs. Shirley Booth and Mr. Ben Rich managed to find time to work with students on an individual basis. Mrs. Booth advised students who were considering marriage, and counselled girls with personal and social anxieties. She was also in charge of placing student aides, and helped with the free lunch program. Mr. Rich exercised disciplinary action upon chronic absentees and late- comers. However, he was always ready to exchange friendly words after hours in his office, proving that a main part of the dean ' s job, in spite of forms, rec- ords, and paperwork, concerned personal contact with students.

Mrs. Gladys Hardrath in the guidance office provided students with pertinent information relating to SAT ' s, Achieve- ment Tests, and valuable scholarships. Those students in need of financial aid found that they could depend on Mrs. Hardrath to provide them with the assis- tance they desired.

This was just a sample of the often confusing choices pre- sented to students under the expanded nine-week system. With every department converted to the new quinmester program, the guidance department not only performed its usual duties of advising students in their course selections, it also provided a seemingly endless selection of mini- courses within each major subject area. According to Mrs. Jane Price, director of guidance, the nine-week system brought the faculty, administration, and students closer together, resulting overall in less failing grades than in previous years. After determining schedules and cur- riculum requirements, the counselors dil- igently explained the various College Board tests, including the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and Achievement Tests. Juniors, as well as seniors, sought help in selecting colleges and careers to match their in- terests and abilities. Scholarships, grants, and loans were also a major con- cern of many students. The counselors also aided seniors to prepare for grad- uation by providing grade-point averages and class rank. Do you all have the wrong schedules?

The majority of the English teachers were in favor of the nine-week block system because of its variety and effectiveness. To provide welcome relief from the busy hours of completing forms and IBM cards, various interests occupied the English teachers ' personal lives. Hobbies ranged from the more common reading, sewing, and needlework to Mrs. Polly Butler ' s home decorating. Ms. Nancy Knewstep knitted and worked with stained glass, while Mrs. Mary Anna Lair played the dulcimer.

Besides treating his orange Porsche with paternal care, Mr Robert Cronau, department chairman, busied himself with sailing and amateur radio broadcasting in his spare time. Other members of the math department included Mr. John Quinn who partici pated in various sports such as sailing, golf, and tennis, and Mr. Eric Downing who worked as a professional bartender and waiter. Probability and Statistics teacher, Mr. Ron MaeVittie worked in his garden and rallied on the tennis court, while nature-lover Mrs. Paige Barker preferred camping, hiking, and bicycling. During school hours, members of the Math Department were frequently seen jug- gling textbooks, unwinding twisted video tape, and tutoring confused students. However, they sought to provide students with an adequate mathematical background.

Coach Leonard Thomas discusses an upcoming Key Club ! meeting with Joe Ziglar In conjunction with the newly estab- lished quinmester curriculum, the science faculty taught several courses interesting to both teachers and students. Included in the program were subjects such as Physics, Animal Behavior, and Solutions and Equi- librium Most teachers saw good possi- bilities in the program, but felt that more materials were needed. Mrs. Debra Mortimer, department head, recently completed work for her Master ' s Degree at Old Dominion University, De- voting extra time as a Keyette sponsor also kept her involved with students on a personal level. Still, she found time for hobbies such as cooking and needlework. Joining the faculty in the middle of the year, Mr, Roscoe Barber expressed a tremendous interest in student attitude. He felt that students today displayed more potential, but not much ambition. His extra time was spent in golf, fishing, tennis, and photography, Mrs, Linda Rice liked the wide variety of course offering available to students under the quinmester system. Riding and training horses were Mrs. Rice ' s special interests, along with spending time with her young son. In its entirety, the science faculty actively pursued opportunities to attain student interest and main- tained high standards for the whole department. 1 Business-Bodies Business Education teachers empha- sized the knowledge and use of computa- tional, communicational, and occupa- tional skills. The teachers felt the nine weeks system was useful for some classes but put a burden on students and teachers in the sequential subjects. However, aside from working long hours with the students, the instructors found time for some of their own favorite hobbies. Mrs Peggy Becouvarakis spent her spare time playing golf, tennis and bridge. Sewing and other fine handwork occupied Mrs. Janes Rogers. Mrs. Nancy Shrout ' s pastimes included sailing and needlework.

Ms Patsy Paul demonstrates the color wheel to Angle Reeves The Fine Arts faculty attempted to enrich the students and prepare them for a more satisfying life by exploring art, music, and homemaking. These classes de- veloped the skills and talents which would help students reach their potential as well-rounded citizens. Under the supervision of Miss Cheryl Meidinger, Mrs. Dorothy Harrel, and Miss Laurie Smith, art students tried their hands at painting, drawing, sculpture, crafts, jewelry design, and silk screen- ing. Courses offered in art history and art careers discussed art origins and their relevancy through the ages. Directed by Mrs. Linda Manning, Mrs. Lucille Sutterer, and Mr. Fred Render- graft, chorus and band students filled the air with music. Many hours of re- hearsal before and after school contri- buted to the perfection of the concerts, in which all band, orchestra, and chorus members participated. For those students who planned to make music their career, traditional theory, jazz theory, and music appreciation were included in the curriculum. These courses were taught in a professional and specific manner, presenting the underlying principles upon which music is composed. A series of courses, including child development, marriage, family living, home furnishings, food management, sew- ing, and crafts prepared young women for roles as homemakers. Mrs. Sue Smith and Miss Patsy Paul taught these skills, in- trinsic to the art of domestic engineer- ing. Attractive displays showed the outgrowth of the course offering s.

She completed her Master ' s Degree in French at Middlebury College during the summer of 1975. Ms. Mary Ball, Latin instructor, is an avid stamp collector and history fan, who took a course in Flistoriography at Old Dominion University to round out her knowledge of history. For summer fun, Ms. Ball vacationed in Hawaii. French teacher, Ms. Tyla Matteson, enjoyed bicycling and photography.

Sports rated high on the list of special activities. Mr. Dave Nelson coached not only Junior Varsity Basketball, but also assisted with Varsity Basketball, but also sponsored the KHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Coaches Jim Hathaway and Revis Conrad worked with the Varsity Basketball team, while Mr. Joe Hagy coached Varsity Soccer and co-sponsored the Junior Class. Other faculty members sponsored clubs related to student government and human relations, such as the Sociology Club. The new quinmester system allowed the faculty to teach social studies materials which particularly interested them. The separation of class curriculum into specific topics also seemed to make the school year more viable. One drawback was the extra clerical work entailed in getting ready for each new nine weeks. Between studying class materials for the new mini-courses and sponsoring extra-curricular activities, the faculty saved a few moments for their individual hobbies. Mrs. Norma Seals enjoyed dancing, while Mr. Eugene Moser was in- volved in sports car rallies. Gardening provided moments for Mr. Hathaway, and Mrs. Sara Alligood worked as one of Mr. Harry B. Dyche ' s campaign managers during the Hampton Councilmatic election. Inspiration — 205 Plotting The Course Drilling future officers for the United States Navy can be a tedious task, requiring tolerance and understanding on the part of the instructor. Commander Edmund Stronski, director of the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, had both of these virtues. He spent many hours assisting his students with de- cisions concerning their future careers, whether military-oriented or otherwise. Commander Stronski emphasized two qualities — honor and excellence — to his pupils, thus providing a springboard to success in any job they chose to follow. As well as sponsoring the NJROTC Club and the NJROTC Rifle Team, Chief Petty Officer Arthur Spriggs headed the drill team, striving to perfect their performance as a unit. Chief Spriggs remained long hours after school to aid the students with their respective ac- tivities in the ROTC Club Away from school and its demands. Commander Stronski enjoyed an occasional sailing excursion. Chief Spriggs found pleasure in auto mechanics and appliance repair. Believing in diversity. Chief Spriggs also found time for gardening and landscaping. Keeping students ' names and addresses in perfect order is a never-ending task for Chief Arthur Spriggs Taking a short coffee break. Commander Stronski glances through scholarship aid booklets before advising students on college plans Home On The Range Teaching anything to high school students is undeniably difficult, but in- structing teenagers in the art of safe driving is a unique challenge. This res- ponsibility was handled capably by inst- ructors Mr. Joe Beck, Mr. Samuel Epps, Mr. Samuel Jones, and Mr David Holtackers, as they taught students the techniques and attitude necessary for good driving. The safest place to instruct was the simulator, where students remained stationary. The range proved a bit more worrisome, but the watchful instructors managed to keep all drivers under control. Accompanying students on the road was hair-raising at times, but it was the most effective method of judging the students ' progress. The second part of the driver ' s edu- cation course, classroom instruction, was directed by Mr. John Pauls Jr. and Mrs. Nancy West. Though impatient to drive, students had to learn the driver ' s rules, car parts and maintenance, safe driving habits, and insurance information before they could hit the road. Perseverance and understanding were required by all instructors, and these qualities, tempered by strictness and devotion to duty, enabled most students to pass the course and become safe drivers.

Adding im- petus to the program, the nine weeks curriculum provided a continuous explora- tion of the many construction industries. As teacher of Woodworking I and II, Mr. Curtis Hubbard helped students learn new skills which would be beneficial to them in later years. He encouraged and assisted his students with difficult architectural problems. Sponsoring the Industrial Arts Club, Mr. Hubbard found his students to be more diverse than in the past. With such diversity, the club was able to endeavor in greater challenges and projects. He was active with weekend adventure trips, gardening, and intricate cabinet-making.

Ms. June Tharpe broke away from her Girls ' Basketball and Tennis coaching responsibilities long enough to enjoy a bit of gourmet cooking, needlework, and volleyball. His love for the outdoors and sports allowed Coach Denton to mix business and pleasure through his coach- ing baseball.

Bustling activity characterized the KHS clinic as students paraded in and out, inquiring about headache cures, avoiding dreaded tests, or simply looking for some pleasant company. Mrs. Myra Hast- ings, the school nurse, greeted all with a welcome smile and an amiable manner. Working along with the guidance department, Mrs. Hastings not only offer- ed medical services, but also provided understanding and counseling for those with personal and emotional problems. The primary goal of the clinic ' s services was to ensure the protection of the students ' total health, including physi- cal, mental, emotional, and social fitness. Fortunately there were no re- ports of major illnesses, yet Mrs. Hastings cheerfully provided the best care to the numerous victims of gym class accidents or senioritis.

And More Books Often a student gathering spot, the library was the center of much of a student ' s scholastic activity. Here one could find the endless words of wisdom of writers, philosophers, and scientists in over 20,000 volumes and 125 current periodicals. Aided by student assistants, Ms. Nancy Spain kept the shelves in order, and made sure that books were returned on time, and resources properly cared for and updated. Mrs. Jackie Carter oversaw the audio-visual center, which kept pace with modern equipment, recent films, and new recordings. Both departments were maintained by Mrs. Mary Jane Johnson and Mrs. Hazel Adams. A major achievement of the year was the initiation of Media Center, a student assistant elective course for which a student received a quarter credit each nine weeks. Each assistant was re- sponsible for the maintenance of a desig- nated area of the library, in addition to receiving instruction one day each week from Ms. Spain. All those involved felt that the program was a definite asset in training students for further library work upon leaving Kecoughtan. Plundering the wealth of her backyard garden.

Six in the morning brought park- ing lot sweeping and final preparations for the onslaught of 2,000 Warriors. During each of the six periods, the crew cleared the halls of uncountable tons of litter, washed windows, and dusted hall lockers. The night staff headed by Mr. Andrew Smith was responsible for a final sweep- ing of the halls as well as individual cleaning of every classroom. In addition to their janitorial duties, the staff supervised extra-curricular school functions. Though often taken for granted, the janitorial staff served as an integral element in the maintenance of a clean and healthy educational environment. 1 1 f I f M F l R f Just a little more to the right?

Much work went into the planning of nourishing meals and the baking of homemade rolls. Although some disgrunt- led pupils complained of food quality, most Warriors expressed their appreciation to the staff. The quality of their service was awarded when the state recognized Hampton ' s cooks for their Bicentennial work and superior food preparation. To add a little gastronomical variety to the lunches, the popular combo package was introduced to supple- ment the usual hot lunches. Such delights as french fried potatoes, submarine sandwiches, hamburgers, and milkshakes in three different flavors enticed the stu- d ents ' palates. With such innovative ideas as these, the KHS cafeteria could well end up as the most profitable fast food shop in the city. They ' re really good. Try one.

The school spirit and individual pride which marked each Kecoughtan student fueled the intense competition between the three classes — sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Spirit jug and the float contest provided an opportunity for each group to display their zeal. The drive for success, however, was not de- structive; rather, it was a healthy foundation for the accomplishments of each class. Despite fierce interclass competition, the groups did not allow rivalries to fragment school spirit. In times of need, school support replaced class spirit and the sophomores, juniors, and seniors were transformed into Warriors. .We The People — 216 Front Row: Chaplain Cynthia Taylor.

The graduating class continued traditional senior activities but with a new wake of success! In each endeavor — from Orien- tation Day, a fantastic Homecoming float, a profitable Miss KHS Pageant to a touch- ing Class Night and Baccalaureate service — the Class of 1976 proved a powerful working unit, geared to the rewards of victory. Beginning their last year early, seniors met during the summer to organize committees and sell (sometimes partially frozen) doughnuts at summer school. With football season came pep rallies, home- coming floats, mums, and S.P.A.T.! During winter months, seniors sponsored one of the few profit making booths at the ICC Carnival, sold concessions at home basket- ball games, sponsored the Homecoming Dance which profited over $300, held a money-making Miss KHS Pageant, while selling KHS T-shirts. Spring arrived early for 76 ' ers as did senioritis and the times of their life at the Senior Prom. Rowdy times at the Hall of Fame Assembly and in Nags Head were eased by a spectacular Class Night which brought back memories of the past three years. Baccalaureate services followed and then the final step — gradua- tion. Success, spirit, the enchantment of friendship — these served as the vital or- gans which made the powerful Class of 1 976 at Kecoughtan High School one of the greatest Senior Classes to be seen. . . . and that’s the way we were . . . the SPIRIT OF 76!

The Twelve Years of Schooling We The People — 220 Kecoughtan ' s version of the Rockettes, the famous per- verted Pygmies perform a dance routine to Sister Golden Hair Show Even mature seniors must have their childish moments, and Sophomore Orien- tation gave the more active ' 76ers one last chance to exhibit their love of foolish- ness before settling down to the routine of the new school year. Class President Marty Baxter and his sidekick, Vice-Pres- ident Kent Lester, supervised the rowdy antics of their fellow upperclassmen as they attempted to familiarize the sopho- more class with KHS activities through original and humorous skits. Thus, on that fated day preceding the reopening of school, the sophomores shuffled into the auditorium for a show they would never forget. Once the show began, the whispered conversations stopped, and laughter reigned supreme. The Perverted Pygmies, pillowcased dwarfs dancing to an accele- rated version of Sister Golden Hair, proved both entertaining and exhilirat- ing to the crowd. Comical reflections upon parental norms were recalled in the skit, The Twelve Years of Schooling. A parallel to the familiar carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, the skit Time proved popular with the students, al- though there existed a definite lack of A ' Capella talent on the part of the singers. Such verses as don ' t suck your little finger, and don ' t wet your pants, were met with laughter, but the sophomores tended to relate to m ore po- tent warnings, such as don ' t show your navel, don ' t go parking, and the ever popular don ' t go drinking. In a later skit, Coach Beef and her Beeferonis clearly depicted the enthusiasm of the KHS football team m warm-up before a game. In between skits, policeman Joe Curtin chased the mischievous tricycle phantom of Rowan and Martin ' s Laugh- In back and forth across the stage. After a brief welcome from school principal, Mr. Harry B. Dyche, all the students joined in the singing of the school alma mater. The sophomores were then dismissed to pick up their schedules and acquaint themselves with the halls of KHS. Eager upperclassmen stood nearby, ready to guide the bewildered class of ' 78 to their classes, as well as to the elevator . . . and the pool . . .

Crowded halls signalled the end of another routine day at Kecoughtan. Students struggled through the corridors, smiling with the relief of knowing that classes were over for the afternoon. However, for about thirty seniors, the 2:45 bell meant staying later every other Thursday for regular senior class meetings. Enthusiastic ' 76ers attended the meetings faithfully, voicing their ideas and opinions on various senior functions. The meetings also provided opportunities to discuss fund-raising projects such as T-shirt and homecoming mum sales, prom plans, and graduation events. Although the usual turnout for a meeting averaged only 5% of the senior class, those in attendance contributed invaluable time to senior activities. Class president, Marty Baxter, along with sponsors Miss Jeannie Smith and Mr. John Quinn, encouraged all seniors to remain united and to exhibit a spirited interest in their class. With these goals in mind, the Bi- centennial class proved to be together” in their interpretation of the spirit of ' 76.

Homecoming 1 975 was an instant replay of 1 974. Again, the Grassan home served as the float con- struction site and became the target of waterballoons. The Class of ' 76 garnered a second place trophy in competition, and disappointed seniors pondered the judges ' decision with chagrin. Seniors possibly worked themselves right out of first place, as with their float completed days before the parade, they ventured to sophomore grounds. The visit became days of diligent work as seniors hoped to prevent a no-show of the underclass. The help proved fatal, however, as the sophomores surprisingly nabbed first place. Instant replay?

Engulfed in oversized green robes, seniors took a day out of their busy sum mer schedules to pose for the prelim- inary proofs for senior portraits. Having ordered the portraits in Septem- ber, they anxiously awaited the arrival of the final senior portraits in December. Parents were especially happy when the portraits arrived, and Christmastime found wallet-sized photos of gowned seniors tucked neatly inside cards to friends and relatives. Other portraits were put aside to accompany graduation announcements. After these matters were taken care of, seniors found more relevant uses for the remainder of their portraits. 76ers exchanged portraits as remembrances of friendships and past romances. Other pictures were used to renew friendships with former graduates and pen pals. Memories of three eventful years at KHS, highlighted by graduation, were symbol- ized in the senior portraits of ' 76.

Holly Blanchard and Joe Curtin swing to the music of Passage If there ' s one thing we need, it ' s more money! If the statement sounds avaricious, it was only too true. Opening the year with a meager $500, seniors labored to increase their treasury in order to fund important class activities such as Class Night and the Senior Prom. During the carefree vacation months, the class attempted to boost its earnings with doughnut and bake sales and an early September car wash. Finding enough seniors willing to work was a problem, for summer found them busy with their own personal pursuits. To assure that all graduation and prom expenses could be met, seniors were required to pay class dues of $ 1 4.00. However reluctant seniors were to part with the money, most paid, knowing it was necessary if they wished to parti- cipate in graduation exercises. Later in the year, activities included Ke- coughtan T-shirt sales and sponsorship of the annual Miss KHS pageant. Basketball season provided opportu- nities for further fund-raising projects. Drinks and refreshments, sold at all home games, profited the class treasury. Most lucrative of all projects was the Basketball Homecoming Dance spon- sored by the Class of ' 76. Students commented that it was one of the best dances KHS has had in a long time. Anticipating spring activities, seniors were grateful for the funds that had accumulated in the treasury. Finally able to relax with the fruits of their labors, they looked forward to what the money would bring: a wonderful prom and graduation at last!

The confidence of Kent Lester, Pete Price, and Mary Jane VanValkenburg returns as they stand on the firm ground after a run down the intermediate slope at Wintergreen Ski Resort We The People — 230 Snow Plow! Acknowledging the need to escape the mid-winter slump of school routine, KHS seniors, headed by Harry Hundley, arranged a ski trip to Wintergreen Ski Resort in Charlottesville. Departing from the school parking lot at 4:00 a m. on Sunday, February 1 5, sleepy students foresaw a fun-filled weekend of skiing on the cold, snow-laden slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. How- ever, as students disembarked from the bus at the resort, discouraged cries of where ' s all the snow! arose from the crowd. The temperature was 50 degrees, and as students peeled off ski jackets, extra shirts and pairs of socks, they wondered how one could ski in a pool of slush. Not willing to give up so easily, beginning skiers and the more advanced plodded clumsily to the tops of the slopes to glide down on skis or derriers whichever seemed more convenient. Be- ginners especially found that the phrase hitting the slopes could be taken literally. After a long, eventful day of skiing and socializing, students trudged back to the buses, anticipating a good dinner and a party. The next morning dawned on bruised and sore students. Reluctant to rise from their comfortable beds, students nevertheless journeyed back to Winter- green, only to find ski conditions worse than the day before. Determined to get their money ' s worth, skiers did their best on slushy slopes. Others, who found themselves too tired or sore, spent the day conversing in the lodge cafeteria. Boarding the buses at 5:00 p.m., the wet and exhausted, but happy skiers tried to find a comfortable position for the long trip home. The return journey proved to be a sleepy one for most as students tried to make up for sleep lost during the weekend. Upon arriving home, the students gathered their luggage, coolers, and other paraphanalia. Each skier went his separate way in anticipation of a hot bath, a nice warm bed and a good night ' s sleep.

Senior Day, a new program, was backed by the SCA and car- ried out with the consent of the faculty and administration. Kathy Gear organized the program, aiding in the appointment of senior teachers and securing the clear- ance of special senior privileges. Nearly one hundred seniors partici- pated, some teaching only one class period and others serving as the faculty member for the entire day. Mark Midden, alias Mr. Dyche, took responsibility for the morning announcements, while his fellow administrators Charles Hamlin Jones, Marty Baxter Waddell, and Dr. Wendi Winbourne Davis played their respective roles, wandering the halls and conversing with students. Administrators also took full advantage of a scheduled Navy Band concert to exercise their authority in the supervision of the assembly. The concert went smoothly, and seniors were com- mended for their efforts in keeping classes under control. In the classrooms, seniors found that teaching was not as easy as it seemed. Debbie Crum, teaching for Mrs. Grimm, walked into one of her classes to find the entire class, minus one, had skipped out to the smoking area. She immediately rep- rimanded them for their evasive maneuver. When student Martha Tarkenton arrived tardy to class she usually teaches, her senior substitute, David Breen, sent her to the office where principal Mark Midden suspended her Despite some jok- ing around, students actually learned something from their senior teachers. Thus, Senior Day ' s initiation was a total success, with promises of a repeat performance with the Class of ' 77. Seniors proved their capability to teach fellow classmates and simultaneously gained a first-hand knowledge of re- sponsibility. Days later, classes had settled back to normal, but the day that ' 76 Ruled would not be soon forgotten. Stunned at the spelling errors, Marshall Ross, alias Mr. Garland Wesson, reads a student ' s thesis statement before his expository writing class.

At last, the words were spoken: And the winner is . . . The sus- pense was suddenly over! The victorious beauty? Miss Horny Hazel! Overcome with emotion. Hazel collapsed into the arms of fellow beauties, and had to be quickly re- vived to receive the crown. The 1976 Miss KHS Pageant, besides being the most successful in Kecoughtan ' s history, sidelined another beauty compe- tition. Miss Gorgeous Green and White, a contest for senior males transformed into luscious females, provided one of the evening ' s most amusing highlights. The crowd roared its approval of the seven slinky sirens as they strutted across the stage, showing off hairy legs and truly stupendous figures. Actually helping out a fund-raising effort for the Senior Class, the contestants had appeared earlier that day at lunch, coaxing nickels and dimes from students. Dave Morton, alias Horny Hazel, beat out tough com- petition from Terrific Tina and others to become the reigning Miss Gorgeous Green and White. From the looks on their faces, the senior guys had just as much fun in their special pageant as the ten Miss KHS contestants. Hollywood starlet.

Senioritis, when it strikes, strikes hard and fast! With the first hint of warm weather, the annual disease became an epidemic, spreading like wildfire through the halls of KHS. Third nine week grades slipped and tardies increased as senior interest in classes slackened with the onslaught of Spring. Senior voices echoed through the halls, questioning scholarship appli- cation deadlines and announcing college Doing Here? acceptances. If the topic of college subsided, plans for the Prom, Senior Skip Day and Class Night soon took its place. Schoolwork became a minor part of the schoolday, with more attention devoted to year end fund-raising for clubs, state athletic titles, scholarship applica- tions, daydreaming, sleeping . . . anything but homework! Government teachers, faced with virtually entire classes of seniors, found a general lack of in- terest among even their best students. Only with the arrival of June 1 2th would the magic of graduation again fill the air with enthusiasm, revitalizing sluggish seniors in time for summer fun.

A special appearance by Pop Hale added to the excitement of the evening as guys, dressed in jeans, T-shirts and leather jackets; and girls, clad in cotton skirts, bobby socks, and saddle oxfords, bopped with one another at the Hop. With their hair greased back, mem- bers of the motorcycle gangs often led the group in such popular dances as the stroll. In this effort to raise more money for speaker systems to donate as the Class Gift to KHS, the Senior Class successfully collected over $ 1 00 profit from cover charge and refreshments.

Donning earth shoes and jeans for comfort, seniors distributed literature door-to-door in the surrounding community. Though the task was tiring, the students felt they gained a better understanding of campaigns and elections. Other duties assigned to campaign workers were making telephone calls, pub- licizing their candidates and working the polls on Election Day. As in all elections, there were winners and losers, but each candidate was thankful for the hours of dedicated service donated by the student volunteers.

Becky Hurst, dressed casually in the new beach style, attempts to film senior surfers at Nags Head Ricky Lee Small Deborah Faye Smith Good Times At Nags Head As Memorial Day drew near, so did Senior Skip weekend. Excused from school on Friday, May 28, seniors ventured to Virginia Beach. Nags Head, or merely rested at home. Those who managed to arrive safely in North Carolina found miles of sparsely populated beach and good times in Nags Head! Students spent the weekend in beach cottages or hotels, and an adventur- ous few decided to rough it by camping out under the stars. The beaches and sand dunes served as the major daytime attractions, while such nightspots as The Oz and The Nagsheader along the beach road provided nighttime entertainment. Students teamed up with seniors from Hampton High, the groups practically filling each of the hot spots in town, dancing, talking, and making new friends. Those who travelled by Jockey ' s Ridge, a group of huge sand dunes, often found seniors running up and tumbling down the sand mountains as late as one o ' clock in the morning, the usual meeting time. Few, however, had enough spirit — or energy — to attempt hang gliding. Sand crabs were a noticeable feature of the weekend as were mugs, thermoses, and various other beverage items. Surfing and sailing also became new sports for courageous ' 76 ' ers. The more professional surfers journeyed down to Cape Hatteras to catch the larger and more powerful waves. Most amateurs, however, seemed satisfied with body surfing on the milder ripples of Nags Head. It must be stated, though, that the mild waves of Nags Head could be compared with tidal waves at the famous Buckroe Beach! The days spent at the beaches and nights spent at the clubs, cottages, parties and driving hundreds of miles to find special friends, passed much too quickly. Seniors dreaded the return to the last weeks of school, for the weekend turned the shy and timid into people known for being rowdy, rowdy, rowdy! We The People — 245 Senior Wrap Up In anticipation of Graduation, the grand finale of the year, seniors parti- cipated in special end-of-the-year events, including Hall of Fame, Class Night, and Baccalaureate. Despite disruptive members of the audience, the Hall of Fame assembly proved to be enjoyable for seniors. The presentation of awards, corneal skits, and bluegrass music created a memorable program. Class Night offered memories both happy and sad. Music and skits, repre- senting important highlights of the year, were performed for the graduating senio rs and their guests. Honorary awards were presented to outstanding seniors and highest honor students. Tears flowed freely as seniors reminisced their years at Kecoughtan. Baccalaureate offered more serious services for seniors and their guests. Inspirational messages were delivered by Reverend Louie Andrews and Chaplain Richard Carr. Religious music was pre- sented by the A Capella Choir. The services created a solemn feeling to pre- pare students for the upcoming gradua- tion ceremony, and as seniors recessed from the auditorium. Graduation Day seemed only a moment away.

We ' ve been here almost two hours! I want to go home! Such complaints were heard frequently on Friday, June 1 1 th, as Kecoughtan stu- dents practiced for graduation at the Hampton Coliseum. It was a beautiful afternoon, the first whole day out of school, and there were better things to do than file in and out of the Coliseum auditorium! As more than 500 graduating students gathered in the lobby, there was a general feeling of disbelief that graduation was only a day away Short practices earlier in the week at school had been for seating assignments only. Now at the Coliseum, separate lines of guys and girls, many barefoot, a ttired in shorts and T-shirts, marched to their seats, the strains of Pomp and Circumstance echoing in their minds. The week before graduation had been hectic. There were announcements to send, calling cards to sign and give to friends, and, above all, the anticipation of writ- ing thank-you notes plagued one and all. June 4th brought the arrival of caps and gowns, as well as honor tassels, which had to be distributed. As practice ended, seniors dispersed once more, to the beaches, to the pools, and many to the real world of summer jobs. But each looked forward to graduation with mixed emotions of joy and sadness.

The event: graduation. Confusion dominated the scene, as students, unfamiliarly attired in the hot and rather cumbersome gowns, awaited the moment when they would enter the Coliseum. The rustle of acetate stilled the huge crowd of family and friends as sen- iors, still dazed at the idea of really gradua- ting, marched slowly into the auditorium. Senior Class president, Marty Baxter, accompanied by highest honor speakers Kathy Gear and Pete Price, took their places on stage. Each spoke on behalf of the class, expressing common dreams, de- sires, memories, and future goals. Over one hundred students graduated with honors, thirty of these receiving highest honors. For each graduate, the moment of crossing the stage to receive his diploma was one to remember, a moment of individual accomplishment. As the rows filed past the faculty for the last time, the moment seemed to be endless. Time had slipped away, and the new graduates realized that just as their high school years had slipped away, so would the rest of their lives. Graduation, for the spirited Class of ' 76, would always be a special time to reflect on past and future . . . We the People — 251 Howard Matthew Alexsnder: Football.

Your first day was spent meeting new friends and reuniting with old ones. Getting used to school again, with new teachers and classes took up the first week of school. Football Homecoming pre- sented the first spirit challenge which confronted you. Your Homecoming float, an over-sized RAID can on a football field, represented your interpretation of the theme, Raid the Raiders. At- tendants Beth Blair and Karen Murray represented the class during the parade and half-time festivities. Determined to capture the coveted Spirit Jug led to wholehearted partici- pation at pep rallies. Perseverance lifted Junior spirit sky-high and finally at the last pep rally your attempts paid off! You outyelled both the Seniors and Sophomores to win the Spirit Jug. Fund raising projects occupied much of your time before the Ring Dance. Car washes, bake sales, doughnut sales, and a band concert co-sponsored with the SES provided the necessary money. Profits were used primarily for dance deco- rations and the band. Enthusiastic about getting rings and having them turned 77 times, along with the Ring Dance, climaxed your Junior year Your life, a year of hard work, fun, and memories was another chapter to add to your high school years.

(1) a well-organized, formal gather- ing to discuss upcoming affairs. (2) an unorganized group meeting to hassle each other. (3) a casual group, assembled to talk about weekend plans and events. Anyone having experienced one of the meetings would quickly choose number 3. That choice would be well justified. Each Thursday, twenty to twenty-five juniors, under the leadership of President Steve Alford, gathered to hash over decisions made at previous meetings. The first order on the agenda was the discussion of class participation in pep rallies and overall class spirit. Garage sales, car washes, and donut and bake sales were offered as money making projects to raise funds for the Junior Ring Dance. Preparations for the all important Ring Dance were started early. Sugges- tions for various colors of streamers set off the Great Debate. Ideas were presented as follows: I want pink! No, I want blue! Well maybe green would be better. Oh what the heck, I don ' t care. This debate continued for an en- tire meeting. When the final vote was taken, the majority chose light blue. Class sponsors Ms. Harriet Bush and Mr. Joe Hagy provided much needed help to the class of ' ll in its efforts to obtain and sustain total class spirit. We The People — 261 Question: Why do you work? Answer: For money, of course! In the early part of October, a survey taken of the Junior Class proved the obvious fact — money was definitely the prime motive for finding work. The survey ' s purpose was to uncover such information as WHERE and WHY stu- dents work. The latter question dis- closed an amazing display of students ' desire for money. Saving for college and earning spending money were two widely used answers. Enterprising juniors found work as salesmen, grease monkeys, clerks, waiters, and typists. It seemed that no task could overwhelm a member of the mighty class of ' 77. Also included in the survey was a question concerning the work of student aides. An estimated sixty four juniors worked as student assistants. Their duties ranged from delivering audio- visual equipment to selling Certs in the bookstore. I can ' t believe I ate the whole thing!

The Junior Class will hold a bake sale Thursday in front of the bookstore. This announcement was frequently heard during the 1 975-76 school year. Bake sales provided the Class of ' 77 with quick cash and involved little planning, as the baked goods were donated by class members. Class dues provided a large part of the money raised by juniors. Dues chair- man Tim McCrane headed the campaign to collect five dollars from each class mem- ber. Posters, along with verbal announce- ments, were used to inform the students of the dues collection. This campaign lasted approximately three months, and the profits played a large role in cover- ing Ring Dance expenses. In February, the juniors in co- operation with the Student Exchange Service, sponsored a rock concert featur- ing the bands, Black Satin and South Paul . Money garnered from this suc- cessful project was split by the Junior Class and the SES. Car washes, garage sales, and dough- nut sales filled the gaps between the class ' major projects, and provided fun as well as funds. Sacrificing her lunch period to help the Junior Class.

Junior guys make no secret of their class loyalty at the Homecoming Pep Rally against Warwick. 266 — We The People With high hopes for winning the first pep rally, the Class of ' ll opened the year with a bang. Hordes of balloons, clouds of confetti, and signs proclaiming Junior superiority plastered over the entire gym helped boost the junior spirit to a peak. Karen Murray and Robert Gaddis, parading as a Tabb Tiger, added an extra might to the class. For all their efforts, however. Juniors fell short of their goal, and the Seniors won in an intense contest. At the Homecoming Pep Rally against the Warwick Raiders, Juniors again felt shortchanged, this time losing to the charged-up Sophomores. Finally, armed with the determina- tion and spunk necessary to be vic- torious, the Class of ' ll triumphed for the first time in the basketball pep rally against the Menchville Monarchs. Rejoicing in the sweet victory. Junior Class president Steve Alford raised Ye Olde Spirit Jug high, realizing they had won the last pep rally of the year, and earnestly anticipating next year.

Preparations began with the rental of the Hampton Coliseum. A few minor complications delayed plans, but soon publicity and ticket sales were underway. Tickets were distributed to several local junior high schools. Sunday, February 1, arrived with a mere 1 00 tickets sold. With thoughts of cancelling, the executive board decided that the show must go on! Go on it did, and became a booming success. Over 300 people braved the bad weather to skate.

Comprising the majority of the basketball and baseball squads, juniors played a vital role in forming successful teams. Several outstanding juniors stood out, taking honors and awards, or playing an important part in team achievements. Patti Weih captured Regional and District trophies in gymnastics with her stunning performances. Billy Thomas quarterbacked for football, and along with John Willis, pitched for a powerful combination in baseball. Reggie Pledger and Jimmy Hathaway aided in guiding the basketball team to a berth in District Tourna- ment. In swimming, Scott Dandrea and Elizabeth Randolph advanced to state com- petition. Tennis boasted four juniors in the top six spots: Fred Wright, Alan Whitaker, Jeff Hamilton, and David Kendall. With this running start, the Class of ' 77 seemed ready and willing to dominate the Kecoughtan sports scene We The People — 271 John Moore Maureen Moore Michael Moore Kevin Moran Sean Moran Deborah Morris Martha Morris Robert Morris Eileen Morrison Dolly Murphy Cam Murray Valerie Murray Tammy Myers Daniel Narrow Cindy Neal Cynthia Nettles Denise O ' Connell Larry O ' Connell Mary O ' Connor Susan Oswald Valerie Otero Janet Owens Phillip Paquette Karol Parham WE’RE OFFICIAL NOW Karen Parker Billy Parks Virginia Patrick Donna Patterson Mary Pavlick Regena Payne We The People — 272 Diane Pencola Douglas Pennington Miles Perrin Leigh Perry Robert Peterson Joe Pettoni Nancy Pike Gwen Pinkston Annette Porter Donny Powell Nancy Powers Chip Quinn Scott Quinn Elizabeth Randolph Lynn Reding Andrea Revels Debbie Reeves Denise Reeves IhI! ' 1 j ■ i0: , 1 1 i i Ring time again at KecoughtanI Jack Akers shells out the balance due money as he receives his ring. Will Juniors with last names be- ginning with A through D please report to the Boy ' s Attendance Office? The announcements blared over the intercom system one day in late March. The big event was the distribution of class rings, those sparkling gems set in gold or silver, symbols of their high school years. Immediately, the Juniors set about the task of having their rings turned 76 times, a tradition to bring luck. The 77th turn was saved for the night of Junior Ring Dance which followed. Arriving at school earlier than usual seems to overcome Sean Moran and Jim Myers as they wait in the endless line to pick up their rings. Have you ordered your bid yet? How about your tux? When is the next decora- tion committee meeting? These questions and many others rang throughout the halls of Kecoughtan as preparations began for the Junior Ring Dance. The first plans to be definitely finalized were the time, date, and loca- tion. With these matters settled, the search for a band began. After observing the talents of many bands, the final de- cision was made, and a contract was signed with Just Us. The next major problem to be solved concerned the idea and colors for the decorations, and the theme song. Meeting after meeting set off many arguments until a decision was reached. The theme song chosen was Till the World Ends. The Kecoughtan Annex was decorated with a country garden atmosphere. A ceiling of crepe paper clouds, walls of picket fences intertwined with roses, and towering archways were the results of the Juniors ' hard work. Here come two more loaves!

TILL THE WORLD ENDS After all the screaming, debating, and preparations before the Ring Dance, the much-anticipated day finally arrived. Weary from decorating into the late hours of the night, and the next day until just a few hours before the dance. Juniors scurried around in confusion, perfecting last-minute details. Finally, at eight o ' clock, over one hundred couples entered the archways of the transformed annex into a country garden scene with spring-colored, crepe paper-trimmed ceiling and walls. Juniors and their dates danced to the theme of Till The World Ends, with Just Us providing the musical entertainment. A uniq ue addition to the affair was the presence of the German Exchange Stu- dents, who had just arrived for a three- week stay, providing the extra atmos- phere for a memorable and delightful evening.

As School drew to a close, Juniors reminisced the past year with recollections of their many experiences. The Class of ' 77 started the year off with frequent class meetings to drum-up class unity, only to find that the meetings usually turned into social gatherings and trivial argu- ments. However, float season caused restless Juniors to buckle down and work. Though not an overwhelming success, it did help bring the class together. With the arrival of spring came an- other Ring Dance, and, of course, that eternal status symbol, the Class Ring, which set ' 77ers apart from sophomores. Good weather provided the perfect op- portunity for outdoor fund-raising proj- ects like a car wash held in May. Other money-making schemes, such as bake sales and a teacher of the year con- test helped build up the treasury. The year ' s final event was a pool party held at the Fort Monroe Officer ' s Club Although gusty sea breezes sent chills through many a shivering body, brave souls swam and dove freely, while others donned jackets or towels and lis- tened to music. Juniors didn ' t stop there, however Planning ahead, they appointed chairmen for upcoming projects such as Class Night and the Prom. Soon forgotten was the fact that they were juniors, and eagerly remembered was the fact that they would soon be Seniors!

Hearsay had informed these newest members of the tribe which teachers should be avoided, where students gathered between classes, and other in- valuable informatioii. In spite of such choice tidbits, Kecoughtan sophomores were forced to learn the ways of high school by trial and error. The first job they had to tackle was the election of Sophomore Class officers in late September, Next on the agenda was construction of the Homecoming float. Although water balloons and lack of funds plagued the building of the float, the Class of ' 78 overcame these difficulties to create a real winner, and grabbed top honors in the judging. The Class now holds a place in the Kecoughtan annals as the first Sophomore class to accomplish this feat. Fund-raising meant 4:00 a m. trips to Krispy Kreme, doughnut sales at the Newport News Shipyard, and hours spent baking dozens of brownies and cookies for school sales. The spirit of the Class of ' 78 could be summed-up in a single word: DETERMINATION. To get the job done, sophomores were determined to overcome all obstacles, whether they were lack of funds, class rivalries, or per- sonal disputes. In retrospect, underclassmen found the year a kaleidoscope of detached oc- currences. There were the exhilarated cheers of the JV cheerleaders and the silent contemplation in the locker room before games. The chatter of gossiping girls, the first frightening date, the homework, all the random events which so easily come to mind — these and the many other memories were the Sophomore Ex- perience.

With the assistance of Marc Roberts, Larry Jenkins backs into the frame- work of the sophomore float Ignited by an unexpected Spirit Jug victory in the Homecoming Pep Rally, sophomores exploded after receiving news that they had won first place over the other class floats. The new sophomore camaraderie replaced the indifference and petty arguments which had hindered the construction work from its outset. Hampered by water balloon attacks from the Junior Class, and apathy from within, the Sophomore Class struggled to complete its float in time for the parade competition. Amid exploding water bombs and screaming classmates, a nucleus of sophomores worked diligently to meet the deadline, racing to staple on turf and erect their 1 5 foot Warrior before departing for Darling Stadium. Eyeing the competition, sophomores literally laughed at the ' ll float, but stared apprehensively as the seniors paraded their well-constructed representa- tion of a Raid can down Settler ' s Landing Road Half-time activities at the stadium meant the announcement of the winners, and everyone held their breath as the suspenseful moment arrived. Sophomores cheered wildly as President Pat Duffy walked off the field with the large 1 st place trophy. Even though the Homecoming competi- tion was intended to evoke goodwill and school spirit, the warm feelings were dampened when chagrined seniors accused the judges of bias. The insinuations, however, were made without support, so the argument was reluctantly dropped. The Class of ' 78 had a special rea- son to be proud, since it was the first Sophomore Class to take top honors in the contest. The victory had sophomores believing in themselves and taking to heart their float theme: Warriors are Dyn - o - mite!

One would soon learn that it was a few interested sophomores getting together for one of their mid-week class meetings. Due to the lack of parliamentary procedure, Mrs. Evelyn Oliver, class spon- sor, often took upon herself the dubious honor of zookeeper. Class officers were often caught between explaining plans for the future and quieting their lively classmates. The meetings, however, proved to be an integral part of the sophomore experience, providing the key which opened the door to an exciting and successful year.

Football season saw the debut of the year ' s spirit sessions, and, for the Class of ' 78, it proved to be a bitter disappointment. With the majority of underclassmen un- aware of exactly what they were expected to do, the Sophomore Battle Cry ended up as the Sophomore Baby Cry. Incited to action by their humilia- tion, sophomores prepared intensely for the next competition. The chance for vindication came on Homecoming Day. To capture the Spirit Jug on this day was one of the highest honors which could be bestowed upon a class. When the an- nouncer called for the Sophomore class to give their rendition of the spirit chant, the tenth graders erupted into cheers. After the juniors and seniors were accorded time to show their enthu- siasm, the judges deliberated a few moments, and then disclosed their deci- sion. The sophomores were victorious! Class officers raised the Spirit Jug for all to see, and were then carried trium- phantly on the shoulders of the crowd. Win or lose, sophomores were con- stantly making themselves heard at KHS, and their zeal provided needed spirit at the Warrior reservation. The spirit of ' 78?

Underclassmen were spotted everywhere in our fair town. Favorite recreation spots included Coliseum Mall, hangout for KHS pubescent patrons, and Hampton Roads Coliseum, where one could indulge in a Gull ' s hockey game or ice skate. Such diverse fields as debate, chess, wrestling, football and tennis attracted numerous participants. Often playing in- strumental roles in varsity successes, several sophomores earned membership on Kecoughtan ' s starting squads. A preponderance of other extracurric- ular activities was included on the agenda of most underclassmen. Foreign language students joined clubs which rep- resented their particular language. Of prime interest to sophomores were the literary groups, including newspaper, literary magazine, and the yearbook. Wherever their interests, tenth graders were constantly proving their abilities. The enjoyment which the stu- dents derived from these functions played a major role in the sophomore experience of fun. You can ' t miss it.

Months of anticipation were now realized: the new arrivals were entering the great monolith, the Warrior Reservation. Old friends saw each other for the first time since the beginning of summer, and new acquaintances were formed. This day was the momentous oc- casion when students from Buckroe, Syms, and Spratley were united for the first time. Soon, they would walk out of the auditorium as Kecoughtan Warriors, the Class of ' 78 After the entertainment portion of Orientation Day, sophomores, eager to learn of their new classes, quickly formed lines in the cafeteria to receive schedules. Guidance counselors were busy assisting students and distributing information. The students obtained their class assignments from an alphabetized stack, then looked to upperclassmen for directions. Upon discovering that there was neither a pool nor an elevator, the newest members of the reservation set out to search for their classrooms. The incoming pupils saw this not just as the beginning of a school year, but as the first day in the Sophomore experience. 290 — We The People Dazed sophomores try not to let their minds wander during the Puzzled over his schedule, Keith Johnson looks on as orientation assembly Mark Kennedy tries to unravel the mystery We The People — 291 Kevin Leaptrot Louis Leskovar Joy Lesley Julie Lesley Helen Letendre Heidi Lewis Kathy Lewis Alan Leybold Suzanne Liesman Sherri Lilly Sarah Link Donna Locklear Elizabeth Long Joanne Lonsinger Linda Lopez Linda Lovell James Lovisz Richard Lowther Pam Maack Jeff MacDonald Becky Mahon Tom Maloney Charles Mansfield Victor Marble Starting the year with nary a cent to their name, the Sophomore Class imme- diately began the tedious task of col- lecting class dues. Diligent work and planning by the newly-elected officers resulted in amazing success. Obtaining nearly $250 in the process, the Class of ' 78 raised more money from dues than any previous Sophomore Class. Winter saw the sale of datebooks and participation in the ICC Carnival. The failure of the unpopular datebooks was compensated by the profits from the cake raffle and nickel slide at the winter carnival. Sophomores opened the second semester with a doughnut sale at the Newport News Shipyard. The immense success of the undertaking provided mo- mentum for further similar sales. A baked goods sale was the winter ' s final event. Cupcakes and brownies were sold before school and during both lunches. In anticipation of their big spring event, the Sophomore Co-Rec night, under- classmen commenced to replenish their nearly depleted treasury. In a repeat of their activity. Sophomores woke up at 4;00 a m., sold 1 50 dozen doughnuts at the shipyard, and returned to KHS for a full day of school. Further such sales and car washes in the warmer months pro- vided needed funds for the completion of a successful school year.

Pupils listened attentively as science teachers discoursed on digestion or dictated notes on blood circulation. Lab reports became a weekly specialty, along with a steady diet of quizzes and tests. Whether experimenting with planaria or observing a dissected pig, sophomores were constantly busy, striv- ing to complete their assignments. Required to take at least one nine- week session of health, all underclass- men attended Mental Health ' or Disease classes. Many an hour was spent taking millions of notes, or studying for tests. Under the guidance of math teachers Mrs. Paige Barker and Miss Mary Sue Clayton, students studied everything from equations to antilogs. Though not necessarily enjoyable, geometry and algebra were integral parts of the sophomore experience. With pencils sharpened and stacks of clean paper at hand, sophomores at- tacked the school day with varying de- grees of interest and excitement. One thing all underclassmen agreed upon was that high school was a TRYING experience. This is the way we iron our clothes!

As the evening wore on, it became apparent that no couples were going to be eliminated from the competition. All twenty-two contestants endured the grueling six hour test, which lasted from 5: 30 to 11: 30, with only one fifteen minute break. In order to determine a winner, the students resorted to a dance- off. The couple which received the most applause, Lani Pray and Mardy South, were named recipients of the $20.00 prize. The regular dance began at 8:30 and ended at 1 1 :30. The students danced to hits selected from the jukebox, and enjoyed Anna ' s pizzas and cokes as re- freshments. After a fun evening, every- one went home happy — everyone, that is, except for the clean-up committee and the limping marathon dancers. Full of smiles.

To solve this problem, the teen- agers turned to a variety of amusements. Easy access to nearby beaches and pools offered underclassmen such water sports as swimming, boating and water- skiing. Inspired by the amazing success of the Kecoughtan tennis team, students flocked to the courts in hopes of per- fecting their backhands and overheads. Since a majority of sophomores found themselves without licenses to drive, bi- cycling became both an individual pleasure and a means of transportation. With distractions such as these, the thought of boredom never crossed an underclassman’s mind. Oh, no! I think I swallowed some water!

Looking back, the students were reminded of the school work, athletics, and extracurricular ac- tivities which filled their days. The year which dragged on during its course whizzed by in retrospect. The successes and defeats which seemed so important at the time faded into mere memories. The specter of the future loomed large in each sophomore ' s mind. Each individual anticipated the task which lay ahead in his junior year: the home- work, afternoon basketball practices, float competition, and the Ring Dance. These important events, too, would soon become just one of many memories. How ever, the Class of ' 78 will always remem- ber its years at Kecoughtan, especially the first — the Sophomore Experience.

Reaching Out — 303 It was a busy year for the Hampton City Council, with four of its seven mem- bers facing re-election. Running on a straight Democrat ticket, Ann Kilgore and Charles Wornom were re-elected, and Martha Ailor and Melvin Butler replaced the older members. The major problem facing the council concerned the adoption of the city ' s budget as Hampton was recovering from an economic slump. Consequently, the council faced obstacles in finding money to oper- ate the budget, while not increasing the tax rate. Despite the budget problems, the several accomplishments achieved by the council included completion of a golf and tennis complex to enhance the recreational activities in Hampton. The disbursement of new garbage-toters throughout the city was also a signifi- cant action of the council, provid- ing for more efficient disposal of waste materials. Several actions which the council may consider for future improvement of the city include the establishment of more neighborhood recreational centers, better police protection, and more ef- ficiency in city departments.

Board members Dr Joseph Lyles, Dr DeWitt Miller, and Mrs Pat Miller anxiously await the close of the meeting Setting various policies for the school system was the primary duty of the Hampton School Board. With Mr. Thomas T. Thompson as its chairman and Mrs. Patsy D. Hunnicutt as its vice- chairman, the School Board acted as an advisory group. It provided suggestions for such decisions as the employment of school personnel, and was responsible for the maintenance and control of all school facilities. The School Board was also responsible for determining the budget and presenting it to the City Council. Due to a sub- stantial 6% financial cut, by order of Governor Mills Godwin, the biggest prob- lem which faced the School Board was the budget. As a result, the school system lacked certain supplies such as paper and textbooks, and various cuts in personnel were necessary. Meeting twice a month, the Board had open sessions to discuss any problems brought before them. Reaching Out — 307 BICENTENNIAL ACTIVITIES COMMENCE Flags greet crowds with the Bicentennial spirit, welcoming thousands of fairgoers through the gates of Gosnold ' s Hope Park Mmm!” A future Kecoughtan student gets himself into a sticky situation Thirteen guns boomed a salute to an- nounce the opening of the 1 3th annual Hampton Fair, held on September 13th. Despite these omens of bad luck, good fortune proved to be the day ' s prevailing factor as perfect weather drew thousands to Gosnold ' s Hope Park. Established by the Hampton Exchange Club in honor of all public servants, the fair offered the city an opportunity to showcase its employees ' talents with hundreds of exhibits. Boasting of something for everyone, this year ' s fair proved the claim true. For the more restless spectators, the Hampton Fire Department sponsored water hose battles and firetruck rides around the park Other fair-goers were content to sit back and enjoy the various forms of entertainment, including bands, dance companies, and an impressive performance by the Hampton Police Department ' s K-9 Corps. Hundreds of booths offered chal- lenging games as well as interesting displays, all draped and decorated with the bicentennial colors. Kecoughtan found itself well repre- sented by the Band and Distributive Edu- cation departments, each sponsoring its own booth. The bicentennial flag was presented to Gary Bromley, Debbie Couture, Teri Englebright, Steve Picchi, Jeff Young, and Richard Nixon for their film America in Perspective: Major Historical Decisions Yesterday. Today, and Tomorrow. The occasion also drew crowds of picnickers and provided an excuse for im- promptu frisbee tournaments and football games. Judging from the response of parti- cipants, the fair was a success and a dynamic way to begin the bicentennial celebration with true Hampton Spirit. 308 — Reaching Out Hear ye! Hear ye!

In an effort to earn the necessary money, they com- pleted mountains of applications and at- tended the subsequent interviews. A variety of unusual and interesting jobs were to be found in Williamsburg ' s Busch Gardens, as students donned the costumes of old European countries. Others preferred jobs closer to home, as waitresses or bus-boys in Hampton ' s numerous restaurants The huge indoor malls provided many opportunities for em- ployment, and many students could be seen working busily at the check-out counters of department stores, fast-food chains, and craft shops The local library also employed several students. Students discovered that holding a job in addition to attending school was a challenging combination, and most agreed that the advantages outweighed the dis- advantages.

Reaching Out — 311 Initially, the dislike for British domination in Hampton was expressed in the pillaging and burning of a British captain ' s storm-wrecked pleasure boat. Captain Squire, however, intent upon con trolling Hampton ' s strategic port along Reaching Out — 312 HAMPTON AND THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR the Hampton Roads, did not heed the people ' s attitudes and prepared to take revenge against the town. British for- mation of several raiding parties and threats to burn the town inspired Hamp- tonians to take defensive measures. With an assemblage of about 500 men, Hamp- ton set up its defense on October 25, 1 775 The lack of men was counterbalanced by ingenuity, as demonstrated by the stra- tegic sinking of several old ships near the mouth of the Hampton River. These ships blockaded the attacking British vessels and kept them beyond firing range of Hampton for the first day. Other than the burning of several homes and some exchange of gunshot, action ceased offshore before sunset the first evening. The second day, the British, having cut their way through the sunken vessels the night before, burst ARMED HLOT BOAT 1775 : OME into the port with cannon, muskets, and rifles firing. The town militia stationed, however, at the wharf was easily able to return the fire and beat back the unsheltered British. Quickly recog- nizing their defeat, the British ships slipped away, with the exception of the H.M.S. Hawke, which was boarded and its crew taken prisoners. Physically, the town suffered mini- mal property damage along the harbor, but the British suffered the loss of two soldiers, with numerous casualties re- - ported on both sides. Black slaves who had joined the British seeking freedom from slavery were severely punished for their disloyalty to Hampton. To some historians, this affair foreshadowed the revolt of slaves in America almost a hundred years later. Militarily, the Battle of Hampton had no noticeable effect upon the outcome of the Revolution, but it provided Hamp- tonians with the opportunity to display their devotion to their way of life and desire for independence. Reaching Out — 31 3 76 MILES: A LONG WALK As a result of early planning, the Memorial Day Parade was well organized and very successful. The idea of a 76- mile Bicentennial Parade was designed during the summer of ' 7 5. A committee arranged the entire affair. Taking place on May 24, the mammoth parade was sponsored by the Peninsula Exchange Club, the Newport News Bicentennial Com- mission, and the Hampton Bicentennial Committee. Over 1 50 mobile and walking units from the lower Peninsula participated. Grand prize for the day went to the much acclaimed Fort Monroe Color Guard and marching unit. The Kecoughtan DECA float, along with the Royal Order of Moose Warwick Lodge 1711, received the city ' s Civic Trophy.

Since 1610, when it became a town, Hampton relied mainly upon its fishing products Obvious in the numberous old piers and harbors filled with battered fishing vessels, this industry still thrived centuries later. The King Street Mall in downtown Hampton recreated the old city and featured historical St. John ' s Church with its graveyard of Hampton ' s past leaders and citizens. Finally, Hampton was undergoing a campaign through some of its citizens to save its old monuments and buildings in an effort to preserve the past. Although there was much emphasis on historical Hampton, progress and the future dominated a significant portion of the city ' s lifestyle. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration con- ducted experiments and research in such fields as energy conservation and in the space program. Project Vicking, the United States ' mission to Mars, was ini- tiated originally at Hampton ' s NASA. This fascination with the future could also be seen in some of the children ' s recrea- tional facilities such as the Space Park in which rockets, jets, and planes pro- vided the playground for Hampton ' s youngsters. Throughout Hampton, the old city and the new combined to provide a variety of sights, activities, and industry for its citizens and visitors.

The latter was evident in that the student found himself an active parti- cip ant in his courses, and a key factor in determining the knowledge he gained theiiefrom. V . . S.ii- ' ' The introductiori of a new quinmester academic cufriculum allowed the student - . graater.freedoms in course selections and ' the pursuit of academic frontiers that ' ' matched his goals. Though following basic , ' guidelines and the suggestions of faculty ' and administration, the Warrior was more or less free to concentrate in those areas which interested him whether they be the sciences, the fine or literary arts, or of a vocational nature. ' ' Another sense of freedom came in the classroom methods employed by the teachers. Often a student found that much of his grade or the knowledge he was to come out of a course with was based on individualized readings or studies. Courses of independent study were offered by the English. Science, and Social Studies De- partments. Unstructured, these courses allowed for the mobility of research and J. diversity of study. The Warrior sensed this new freedom and found himself subject to greater responsibility and self-deter- - mination. Not another one! Ken Harvey carefully studies his mechanical drawing text before proceeding with the next plate. Track coach Lew Faxton gives the cross country team a spirited pep talk before the state meet in Williamsburg. Will the work ever end?

Moment in addition to tKe regular classroom jpudne, Vyarriofsfpund themselves in- yOlved in d nurhber of extracurricular • activities. Spdfts proved to be a rriajor ' ■ ■■ source of ‘interest. Whether it was a football game in October, a soccer match in March, or a tennis championship in May, the KHS student could always find a sport to ob- serve, prparticipate in. :■ . Ranking high among special events were class activities. A marathon dance, pool partyj and a prom were but a few of the ' events led by the classes of ' 76, ' 77, ' and ' 78. Pep rallies provided a vigor- ous boost to school spirit and class com- petition. And what a year it was when the sophomore class captured the spirit jug for the first time in the school ' s history. Wherever the Warrior went, he found himself involved in these special moments which would always remain as cherished memories. Peek-a-boo! Spirited seniors observe pep rally activities through the eyes of their pillowcase pygmy costumes. Let ' s try it one more time.

Closing — 33 there are times for crowds tiirnes for solitude — both are enriching in different ways. Experiences, good or. bad. come from exposure to other distinct per- sonalities. fn contrast with our quick- paced and overpopulated world, students discovered the importance of seclusion. Each student occasionally searched for tirhe alone to sort out problems by himself time to think Solitude exposed a person to his own self, denuding his irinermost thoughts. V.;-: These opposing experiences formed the Kecoughtan student ' s school life — football games and walks through the forest, nights out with the gang and lonely hours contemplating the stars. By an evaluation of himself and those around him, each student matured into an viable individual and member of society. Class planning occupies the spare time of English teacher Mrs. Evelyn Oliver. 76 RULES! Senior Patty Westfall stands out among the spirited Warriors at a homecoming pep rally. Alone in a dark bandroom. David Wingate finds time to practice his trumpet without distraction. Junior Beth Blair displays her ballet steps at a Bicentennial Choral Concert. Puzzled over the varied times of his runners, track coach Ben Rich finds a spare moment to review the spore- book. Closing ' - ' a i, ,- V ' - The year comes to an end, and nearly two thousand Warriors exit. They were, however, unlike those who entered in the fall. They came as a group, the 75-76 stu- dent body of Kecoughtan High School, but they left two thousand individuals. Each pursued a unique path along the academic and extracurricular roads. A new quin- mester program and a vast array of sports and activities served to diversify this group As each day passed, the paths became more numerous as students split and sought more individualized dreams. And just as the star becomes more defined, so did the interests, goals, and pursuits, of each Warrior; each followed his own pathway to freedom.
