Introduction — 2 Weaving the Fabric It was a typically warm and sunny summer ' s day, yet one that marked a tran- sition in the lives of 1 644 Warriors. Another school year had begun, and con- sequently students had to adapt, even if reluctantly, from the carefree styles of summer to the more defined limits that came with the business of education. Even as the strains of Bicentennial fervor waned, the year held promise for everyone. For some, it was the year to prepare for college; for others, to get out of school and into the working world. The year 1 976 held one more chance to beat Hampton, or make the honor roll, or simply have fun and good times. What- ever was anticipated, however, involved other people. Through classes, clubs, sports events, politics and traditions, teachers, fellow students, friends, and even enemies were all woven into one multicolored fabric that made up the 1976-1977 school year.

Just as each thread is vital to holding a piece of fabric together, with- out each person the student body could not exist. The individual was called on to support his own interests, whether they lay in the classroom, at a club meeting, at a sports event, or in a non- school-oriented activity. And just as the group depended on the individual for support, so the individual could rely on his group for support. The two were in- exorably woven together in everyone ' s lives. The cloth could not take form unless all the threads were in their place, and each thread had its own se- parate place in which to fit. Cooperation and participation (or lack of them) proved major factors in determining how the year unraveled, in- cluding everything from float construc- tion and other class projects to working for the election and gathering with friends. Speaking of spokes . . . The dozens of bikes parked on the racks were evident of Warriors’ increasing inclinations to ride to school, both out of necessity and the enjoyment of pleasant spring weather.

Introduction— 5 Friends — again these special people were the threads that held together the loosely woven fabric of school. Wherever one was involved, either in or out of school, friends were almost always an in- tegral part of everyday activities. This comradeship existed on all levels; between students and the administration, students in the same class, teachers and pupils, and between coaches and athletes. This camaraderie could be found in all degrees, varying from mere acquaintances to close personal singular relationships to the fun-loving party crowd. The social scene even affected stu- dents during regular school hours. Be- fore school and between classes; mingling and fraternizing took place on the legen- dary Wall. in the bookstore and in the library. Each Warrior, through his reach- ing out for different relationships with his peers, teachers, and classmates, created the tightly woven cloth of friendship that was so much a part of high school.

It was richly laid with excitement, spirit, humor, hard work, and the all important fun. as well as the routine of classes and the inevitable boredom With the very first day of school, activities and special events were planned Sopho- more orientation officially marked the commencement of the school year. Soon after began another football season and with that ensued all the celebration and work of Float Season and Homecoming, which culminated with the crowning of Mardy South as queen. Autumn also brought an outdoor carnival co-sponsored by the ICC and SCA, and provided a wel- come break from classes to participate in the twenty-odd games and concessions Throughout the year there was a con- stant stream of events to satisfy every- one. Basketball season began and the ap- proaching holidays brought Warriors a chance to experience Christmas in Camelot at the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Christmas was further cele- brated with a concert given by both the band and chorus departments. As spring arrived, so did the time of gala dances The Ring Dance officially celebrated the arrival of the Juniors ' rings, and to Seniors, the Prom was a tradition long anticipated that marked the end of their high school years. Unfor- tunately, however, fun and amusement were not all that the students encountered Tests, tests, and more tests confronted students as PSAT ' s, SAT ' s. ACH ' s and AP s were scheduled throughout the year in preparation for college. So. as the year unfurled its busy schedule of events, each Warrior placed his special touch on the quilt by parti- cipating in projects and activities of his choosing ' s : : 1’ . .... . — . -•«, V . . . ■ v • ' . • ; V;® ' ■ • — v-.v .

Scott Quinn achieves maximum height jumping the wake on Elizabeth Lake waterways c r P pinning and spinning, our world moved around us this summer. PAUSE — we saw brilliant colors bursting and splashing against a hot summer night. Hundreds of people oohed and aahed as the color spread across the sky. Bicentennial fireworks were as plentiful and jocund as the gala July 4th festivities. Spinning, spinning. STOP — we saw athletes striving against all bounds of physical pain and exertion to obtain coveted gold medals. Style and grace, however, had a stronger impact on the public than the athletes ' success in the games. Their performances brought the world to a closer unity. Spinning and more spinning HALT — Dateline New York — Jimmy Carter won the Democratic nomination on the first ballot. This convention, considered lethargic and lukewarm by the delegates lacked any hint of rumor. Spinning one more time and finally STOP — Kansas City for the Repub- lican National Convention. Votes were volleyed back and forth between Ford and Reagan camps in a neck-in-neck race for the nomination. Tension mounted until West Virginia cast its votes for Ford which put him over the top to win a first ballot nomination. And so the world turned. IT urning and turning we revolved in the world at large, but we also lived in worlds of our own. PAUSE — basking on the beach, trying our luck at tennis, or per- haps sailing Hamptonian seas. Summer activities were varied and plentiful to suit all personalities of KHS. Turning, turning STOP — cash registers chinged, life guards ' whistles blasted and lawn mowers roared. The recession decreased summer job opportunities, but, for the few who did find work, the process of growing up be- came a reality. Working students were faced with the responsibilities of punctuality, com- pleting individual tasks, and managing their pay. Turning and more turning HALT — students awaited the beginning of summer school classes. (There is no rest for the weary student, even in summer.) The re- laxed environment during the four hour sessions made the learning endurable. But, students anxiously waited to join their friends in summer activities. So turned our private w orlds during the Summer of 76 until they were brought to a screeching halt as August 26th brought the opening of a new school year. Special Events —11 Hey!

Rocky Sporer shares an amusing anecdote with Mrs Marty Wheeler Instant Replay Summer seems to shorten every year, and the summer of ' 76 in its Bicentennial splendor was no different as it came to a rapid close. Leaving the summer festiv- ities behind them, the returning junior and senior Warriors reluctantly gathered in the familiar KHS corridors and pro- ceeded to begin the nine long months of school with the traditional orientation assembly. Much to the disappointment of the old timers at KHS, orientation of- fered relatively little unique or original material, but rather consisted of the same skits and pep routines seen in pre- vious years. For the newcomers, however, orientation provided a glimpse of the Warrior creativity and enthusiasm. Former Buckroe, Syms and Spratley stu- dents watched anxiously as the upperclass- men performed their revised edition of The Twelve Years of Schooling and the Perverted Pygmies. which captured the hearts of the apprehensive sophomores. Varsity and JV cheerleaders, back from a summer of cheerleading camp, welcomed the Class of ' 79 with a new batch of spirit inducers. The orientation assembly was arranged by SCA president Craig Laity, and upperclassmen served as guides for helplessly wandering sopho- mores. Principal Harry B. Dyche wel- comed the incoming students along with Senior Class President Steve Alford and Guidance Director Mrs. Jane Price who discussed the nine-weeks system. Special Events — 13 Boy!

What could it be? A pre-war Pow-Wow? Almost! It was a Warrior Pep Rally. Noise reverberated as the enthusi- astic Warriors entered the gymnasium Each person sought his class section, searching for the faces of friends. Harried pep-rally chairmen handed out balloons and confetti as the band tuned-up and added to the clamor of the swelling crowd Uneasy basketball or football players milled in the corner, nervously awaiting to be introduced Tension filled the air . . . Suddenly, the band struck-up a rou- sing tune; cheerleaders leaped and yelled, attempting to raise class spirit. The crowd stood as one, arms raised, voices extolling the magnificence of each class! Craig Laity, SCA president, stepped up to the microphone. A hush fell over the crowd as he welcomed the students. After the coaches introduced the players, students impatiently watched the class skits. Then came the long anticipated mo- ment. Class spirit competition was on! Spirited Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho- mores faced each other across the hot gym. Confetti flew as each class shouted to superiority; cheers ran together, mounting to a dull roar. Separate words were indistinguishable. The judges listened. Who displayed the most spirit? they pondered. The decision made, the Spirit Jug was awarded to the appropriate class. Students returned to their studies, ex- hausted and with ringing ears, but firmly believing their class should have won. Although the students were di- vided in class competition, they were united in their devotion to KHS.

Tim Torrie Everything is coming up roses, or so it seems for Homecoming Queen Mardy South after her coronation. EXCITING!! — the one word which can accurately describe the mood during Home- coming, October 7 and 8 Culminating weeks of preparation, the Warriors en- thusiastically participated in VW races, a bonfire, a pep rally, float competition, and the Homecoming dance. Thursday night the largest crowd ever gathered at Gosnold ' s Hope Park for the annual VW races and bonfire. At 6:30, ten sophomores swarmed around a Volks- wagen and at the sound of the starter, pro- pelled the vehicle down the road in 13.6 seconds. The juniors and seniors fol- lowed suit, scoring 13.9 and 12 seconds, respectively. The Class of ' ll had run away with first place the third straight year. After the races, the Warriors gath- ered around the bonfire to watch the Denbigh Patriot effigy go up in flames. Even while each of the classes chanted their cheers, truth seemed t o resound ir the growing strains of 77 RULES Next day, during fifth period, KHS students assembled in the boys ' gym to take part in the annual Homecoming pep rally. After selections from the band and a hilariously incoherent skit presented by the ' 78-ers, each class gave its rendition of the Battle Cry. Seniors, minus a large portion of its members, gave their ill-fated attempt first; next the juniors, also sorely missing a number of students, still managed to offer a rousing war whoop; last, but not least, the seemingly innum- erable sophomores let loose a frenzied, frantic cheer. Even before the winner was announced, screams of 79 RULES reverberated throughout the gym Under the shadows of the new city hall building, the Warrior caravan assembled at 6:30 on Friday night. Utilizing the theme Yankee Doodle Warriors, floats, majorettes, cheer- leaders, and the band could be seen driving, dancing, playing instruments, and otherwise entertaining the crowds on their way to Darling Stadium. Much at- tention was focused on the four floats submitted to the heralded float compe- tition. After each parade unit had en- tered the stadium, KHS fans settled in the bleachers to support the team in their confrontation with the Denbigh Patriots. However, when the Warrior defeat became apparent, the spectators spent less time watching the game, and more time guessing the possible Home- coming Queen and float winners. Their guesses did not remain un- verified for long. At halftime, the attendents line up for the coronation of the queen. Cheers resounded as Mardy South received her bouquet of roses and the rhinestone crown. A tense quiet settled over the crowd. The most important battle in the clashes of the classes was about to be finalized; the winner of the float com- peition was about to be announced. The speaker sputtered on . . and first place goes to the Class of ' 78! Jubilant juniors raced onto the field chanting Hoomu! Immediately after the game, the Warriors went to the Homecoming Dance. Beginning at 9:30, the approximately 300 Kecoughtaners boogied-down to the disco sounds played by DJ William K.C.

A haberdasher ' s delight, the Warriors donned a diverse assortment of hats from sombreros to tam-o-shanters to begin their pep filled week. The enthusiastic Indians dressed out in the sweatshirts and jerseys of their favorite teams on Tuesday, Football Jersey Day. Messed up was dressed up on grub day, and students embarked from home in sleeveless t-shirts, torn and painted jeans, and untied shoes. The infectious spirit bug reached epidemic proportions on Thursday, Fifties Day. With their hair greased back, the leather jacketed toughs escorted their bobby-socked babes in saddle oxfords through the halls between classes. Culminating the week, KHS ' ers wore green and white on Firday to show off the school colors. Fifth period, the spirited students filed down to the boys ' gym for the Homecoming pep rally. After the cheering had subsided, the exuberant Class of ' 79 was awarded the coveted Spirit Jug. Who ' s got spirit? WE DO! WE DO! screamed the KHS Warriors. lass pride is the mark of a spirited Warrior, and Kim Taylor makes the grade with her cheer of 7-8 D-O-M-I-N-A-T-ES. After much hard work representing the school. Kecoughtan Naval Junior ROTC members took time out of their busy schedule to hold the 9th Annual Military Ball. On Friday. March 19th, the school annex provided a perfect setting for the occasion. With traditional navy colors, blue and gold, the ROTC members dressed the area with decorative wall coverings, streamers, and pictures. The dominant decoration was a mural of a large sailing vessel painted by senior. Rodney Weems. Highlighted by the gold as their back- ground, A Touch of Class, a Norfolk- based naval band, provided the enter- tainment for the evening. ROTC members were proud of the suc- cess of the ball as each couple enjoyed the music and the company, reluctantly departing at the close of the evening Barefoot in the dark, Lynn Gagen and Vernon Seekins The ro °l ' s Jailing, the roof is falling!

If one asked any Keyette or Keyclubber, the answer would definitely be a re- sounding YES! Among millions of shining stars, the Kecoughtan annex was transformed into King Arthur ' s legendary court in the mystical kingdom of Camelot, complete with crossing swords and shields that led to the drawbridge. Banners de- picting various medieval scenes graced the walls of the castle as gleaming silver candlebra and elegant desserts embellished the refreshment table, add- ing a sophisticated flair to the Ball. Devoted club members donated alu- minum foil and their time to help con- struct the medieval scene. Night after night. Keyettes and Keyclubbers met at Shelly Smith ' s house to cut out stars, erect the drawbridge, build the castle, and design and sew banners. During Life ' s break, Keyette pres- ident. Mary Huntley, presented a bouquet of flowers and an initialed pewter bracelet on behalf of both clubs to Chairman Shelly Smith in appreciation of her diligent work on the dance decorations. At midnight, the knights and their maidens re-entered the 20th century, leaving the magical atmosphere of Camelot. I can ' t see the tracing line!

Such were the expressions heard at the annual Foreign Language Banquet Once again the cafeteria was transformed into a meeting place for different cultures of the world. The menu was provided by the French and Spanish Clubs. Delicious delicacies like pate, crepe, and bouilla- baise quickly disappeared as Warriors, German exchange students and teachers gobbled them up. Iced tea was gulped down panting throats to overcome the hotness of the Mexican dishes. Enter- tainment was provided by the German students and the Russian Club, who sang. French Club members acted out an amusing skit and the Spanish Club per- formed a traditional dance As all good things must end, however, soon the revelers departed reluctantly.

Anyone entering the Kecoughtan cafe- teria on March 6 would probably have seen members of the Keyette Club working busily to hold their annual Spaghetti Din- ner Although the workers were prone to fits of hilarity and insanity, the necessary cooking, cleaning, and serving were per- formed dutifully, adding to the overall success of the dinner. With the help of the cafeteria staff, the Keyettes sponsored a profitable dinner. As well as working in the kit- chen, club members served as waitresses, so that guests would feel as though they were in a restaurant. Turnout was so good that toward the end of the evening Keyettes faced the potential danger of running out of food. Setting a precedent which outshone previous years, the Keyettes managed to net a profit from the traditional dinner. After expenses of approximately $90 00, Keyettes cleared over $ 1 00, which made all the hours of hard work the club put into the event worthwhile. Special Events — 25 I Come dance with me!

Ask any Drama Club member, and the answer would be a resounding, YES! Whatever the reason, the performers in the school came forward and entertained Kecoughtan audiences with two dazzling shows. To brighten the bleak winter months, the club ' s first production was an all-time favorite. The Wizard of Oz. The second production. Comedy Tonight, was original skits totally written and produced by the talented members of the Drama Club. With the high caliber of the two pro- ductions and the dedicated hard work and fine acting abilities of the members, the Drama Club earned a place of honor 27 among other Kecoughtan clubs.

Perhaps the arrival of the Visiting Committee for Kecoughtan High School ' s Evaluation was not quite that melodra- matic, but it was an unusual and exciting experience for both the students and ad- ministration. Comprised of 25 high school and college instructors and ad- ministrators from Virginia, the committee conducted a comprehensive study of school facilities, faculty, student body, student activities, and curriculum on April 1 9-22, with the purpose of providing for Kecoughtan an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. The study entailed classroom observations by com- mittee members, and a discussion on school activities between a group of Kecoughtan students and a panel of eval- uators. And so, as the evaluators departed, Kecoughtan returned to normal; teachers and students became themselves again — until ten years from now . . .

The Miss Kecoughtan High School Pageant, sponsored by the Senior Class, began with a physical fitness routine as the contestants jogged on stage in rain- bow-colored warm-ups. Introductions of the contestants followed as they modeled sportswear. Talent competition, the most popular event, featured each girl in acti- vities ranging from modern dance and gym- nastics to solos and monologues. Through- out the pageant, the Blue Mountain Band performed popular songs while the con- testants changed apparel and prepared for the next event. Dancing also provided half-time entertainment. Crissy Weih tap danced to Ivory Rag while her sister Patty accompanied by Lani Pray presented the ever famous song and dance routine, Doing What Comes Naturally. Finally the last event to take place was the modeling of formal wear. After Miss Karp sang Corner of the Sky, allowing the judges extra time to tally votes, the contestants filed on stage for the announcement of winners. Melanie Davis won the Physical Fitness Award followed by winner of the talent competition, Jane Kilgore, who played a modern musical selection on the harp. Jana Blue, second runner-up was presented a trophy and was joined by Mary Huntley who won both first runner-up and Miss Congeniality. Tension mounted as John Tell inserted a drum roll at Miss Karp ' s request. Ironically, mike failure delayed the eagerly awaited decision. Repairs were made quickly and Mardy South was crowned Miss KHS for 1 977 by Patty Weih, the retiring Miss KHS. As the evening came to a close and the audience ' s curiosity was satisfied, excitement drained from the crowd, but memories of the night remained. Proudly clutching their awards.

After passing the famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, juniors and their dates knew they had arrived in Paris when they spied the outdoor cafes and the kiosk. Couples danced all evening to the popular disco beat of Just Us. Before the band ' s last session, president Patrick Duffy presented roses to sponsors Mrs. Evelyn Oliver and Mrs. Paige Barker in appreciation for their unswerving support throughout the year. Then Patrick reflected on the year ' s triumphs and asked the juniors to turn their rings for the 78th time. Finally, all knew the splendid evening was drawing to a close when the band played for the last time, I Like Dreaming, the Ring Dance theme song.

Although the dance floor was often crowded and hot, the club offered spacious grounds, from beach to sunken gardens, on which to stroll and relax. Seniors enjoyed the disco sounds of Just Us, then stole away to the refreshment table laden with a smorgasbord of culinary delights, or to the garden to strike a pose for the photographer. Highlighting the evening, the Prom Court was presented just before midnight. To the applause and cheers of the entire, class, Freddie Corbin was crowned King, and Chris Duck was honored with the title of Queen. Coming to a close at 1 : 00 a m. with the final number, the theme song. Precious and Few, the Prom found seniors, weary though they were, ready to proceed to all-night parties, breakfasts and beach sunrises.

Among the exceptional talent presented were Keely Hamilton who enacted the character Eliza Doolittle by singing, Wouldn ' t It Be Loverly, Diane Pencola, who played the difficult composition Appalachian Reverie on the piano, and Susi Andrews who sang the moving melody, People. Also competing for first place, seniors Steve Snyder and Eric Johnson played a jazz piece on the trumpet and sax res- pectively, backed up by Jimmy Jones on the piano and Guy Cantonwine on the bass guitar. Judging the talent were Mrs. Christine Weems, a member of the KHS PTA and Building Advisory Committee; Mr. Rick Clark, assistant programming director of WVEC; Mr. Jerry Sanford, the school board ' s public information representa- tive. For first place and $30 00, keeping a receptive audience enraptured junior Kim Taylor gave an outstanding perfor- mance of Rhoda from The Bad Seed. Win- ning second place and $20.00. guitarist and singer Jimmy Caldwell performed two songs, Heart of Gold and Stand Tall and received a standing ovation from the respectful audience Resulting in a tie, third place and $ 1 0 00 were given to junior Janice Boyd, who enacted Poca- hontas, and senior Jana Blue, who sang Everything from A Star Is Born. Behind the limelight, as always, were those people, without whom the show could not have gone on. ' Mr. Leonard Thomas one of KHS ' s science teachers, undertook the task of lighting and special effects while impressive audio equipment was donated by Mr George Lanning, di- rector of Campus Life. Directed by Elly Moon and Shelly Smith, the program proved successful, and although minor troubles did crop-up such as locked pianos and tardy rehearsals, the two staffs hope to produce the show again.

Vacationers had a wide variety of activities in which to participate — leisurely sunning on the beach, swimming, hang gliding, surfing, partying, dancing, or just sleeping. The weekend, however, could not last forever, despite the hopes of all the seniors.

Feelings of triumph mingled with various emotions ranging from regret and sadness to pure joy in every graduating Warrior as they paraded into the Coliseum at precisely 8:00 p.m. to the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Eventually, however, everyone came to realize not only the short range effects (lots of parties!) this event was to have upon them, but also the long range effects, which consequently gave way to lofty aspirations for the future. Speakers representing the Class were Susan Corzilius and Louis Yuengert in addition to class president Steve Alford who discussed the accomplishments of the Class of 1 977 from their sophomore year until graduation Finally, it was over — no longer seniors but graduates.

Once again sports was the most visible and widely participated in of all activities found at Kecoughtan. The strength of the athletic program overall still lay in the individual participant. Each contribution twisted the skein of unity and spirit tighter until the un- breakable bond that is achieved with teamwork was woven into Kecoughtan ' s ever-changing quilt. The sports program was a dynamic one; it kept up with changes by constantly ac- commodating to the needs of the students. For the first time, females played in- tegral roles in previously male-dominated sports, such as soccer and golf. The baseball team, pre-season favorites, proved their talents through consistently exciting games. Even in those sports not lauded for winning records, a certain abiding spirit helped keep the teams to- gether and attendance steady. The com- mon bond that held each participant in sports together — coaches, players, and fans alike — was the understanding that the strength of the team was in the strength of the individual. Stretch those quadriceps! In a pre-meet warmup. Kecoughtan harriers prepare to run against district favorite. Warwick, at Gosnold ' s Hope Park. Next time, stick that quarterback for a loss! Dis- cussing game strategy. Coach Brian Hebert im- presses the importance of the next few plays on linebacker Mike Large Logging only two victories in ten games, the Warrior Football Team suffered through another disappointing season. Inexperience in the lines and defensive secondary, and inconsistency on both of- fense and defense proved to be insur- mountable weaknesses. Head Coach Aaron Gibson expressed frustration with the grievance, ' lack of hunger, and lamented the players ' season-long complacency. In one of the state ' s toughest leagues, the Warriors averaged a meager 8 points a game while yielding 22 points a game. Upset victories over Warwick and Ferguson highlighted the season. KHS seized an early lead against Warwick on Junior Ta ilback Keith Crusberg ' s elec- trifying 85 yard touchdown dash in the first period. Senior Quarterback Billy Thomas increased the margin to 1 3-0 on a one yard plunge .early in the fourth quarter. Linebacker Tim McCrane. a senior, preserved the 1 3-8 victory with a pass interception late in the game. Ferguson ' s Mariners, featuring First Team All-Regional Tailback David Dixon, were considered to be among the league contenders and were heavily favored against the 1 -6 Warriors. Hopes of an upset victory were dampened as Ferguson rolled to a comfortable 14-0 halftime lead But the game had just begun Determination and a rejuvenated passing attack engendered a miraculous second half Warrior comeback as Billy Thomas came off the bench to throw for two touchdowns, propelling Kecoughtan to a 20-14 win Junior Linebacker Randy Hall, shadowing Dixon all night, made nine un- assisted tackles, pacing a furious de- fense that shut out Ferguson in the second half. Though the season was not as suc- cessful as expected, it laid the founda- tion for more experienced teams in the future, and provided an atmosphere of unity and spirit for students who faithfully supported the team.

Com- posed mostly of sophomores, the team closed with a 5-1 1 season record, a vast improvement over last year ' s 1-10 showing Ranging in height from 4 - 1 1 to 5 -8 , the girls had size as a major weakness. What the team lacked in height, however, they made-up for in spirit and confidence. A major Warrior grievance was the notable absence of fan support. Only a handful of fans attended the majority of home games. This lack of school spirit did not serve to build team morale. High-scorer for the Warriors, senior Sharon Norton, finished the season with 1 28 points and a 1 1 .6 game scoring average.

Coach Thomas said the most memorable game was the match against West Point. With an outcome of 7- 1 , the game was played in a total blizzard at West Point; the Warrior goal was scored in the last thirty seconds of the match. Receiving awards for the outstanding performances were Randy Jones, Brian Pud” Richards, and Tom Miller. The best offensive player was Randy Jones with 1 8 goals. Brian Richards garnered the award for best defensive player. Receiv- ing the most deserving player award was Tom Miller with 1 3 goals. In his outlook concerning next year. Coach Thomas expected six or more of his eleven starters to move up to the var- sity squad.

The team ' s efforts were thwarted by a long series of away games Seemingly out of contention late in the season, the club won three of its last four regular season games to garner a position in the District Tournament These victories included a tough contest over Warwick and a virtual romp over Layfayette in the season ' s finale. Yet the Warriors ' hopes were crushed in a close game to district champion Phoebus in the first round of the tournament. It was the loss of so many close ones that proved to be the ultimate nemesis of the team Neverthe- less. the Warriors ' mentor. Coach James Hathaway, expressed pride over the team ' s efforts. Considered one of the most experien- ced team in the league, the roster in- cluded three returning starters from last year forwards John Daugherty and Reggie Fladger and guard Jimmy Hathaway. In contrast, however, the team also included an unprecedented number of sophomores: Alonzo Link Smith, Nat Brown and Stephen Mo Rivers Leading the Warriors on the court was senior Eric Johnson, newly transferred to the guard position.

Moreover, star rebounder Mike McQueen sustained an ankle injury halfway through the season and was lost for all of the remaining games. Despite these misfortunes, the team did improve substantially as the season progressed, displaying a poised and un- selfish attitude. A contest against first place contender Bethel highlighted the season.

Had the team been able to wrestle Walsingham and Hampton as scheduled, their record would have been more impressive. Actually, the team did better than expected when the unstable line-up was considered. The twelve positions were constantly ex- changed; many grapplers were needed at times to wrestle varsity, and two JV matmen suffered injuries. Adding strength to the squad were aggressive Vince Stubbs and Steve Buck; Steve Rees, who compiled a 7-4 record; the 185 pound Joel Gray; and heavy- weight Wesley Witten. Also new were sophomores Gil Sinnot and Tim Caison, both with promising futures in wrestling. Returning from last year were senior Rodney Weems, junior Chris Drozd who suffered a new injury; and last year ' s most valuable wrestler. Billy Coon. Other returnees were Chris McCrane, who missed half the season due to an in- jured thumb, and competitive Tim Rorrie.

Unfortunately, winning only two of its first five games, the team did not meet the predicted expectations. Re- turning to top form, the Warrior batmen won their next three straight conference games. A tough loss to Highland Springs, another state title contender, and then two impressive victories over Bethel and Lafayette set the stage for the shown down with an undefeated Menchville team.

Kecoughtan went undefeated in regular season districts again. No pro- blems were presented to the Warriors as they swept districts, defeating all op- ponents either 9-0 or 8- 1 . Although it was Coach Mark Vandervort ' s first year with the team, the season was a smashing success. This successful ability ap- peared when the entire boy’s squad ad- vanced to the round of 1 6 in individual district competition. In the end, Fred Wright, top-seeded at Kecoughtan, won the individuals title against John Potter of Warwick, 6-3, 6-3. In regular season play Potter had defeated Fred Wright; however, in districts Wright won at the net and got the best of Potter on the baseline Although none of Kecoughtan ' s double partners qualified for regionals, both Fred Wright and Allen Whitaker con- tended in individual regional play. Having not lost on the peninsula since the 1 972 season, the Warriors continued to win locally with a 52 consecutive match winning streak. 1976-77 Boys ' Tennis Scores KHS 9 Phoebus (d) 0 KHS 9 Bethel (d) 0 KHS 9 Hampton (d) 0 KHS 9 Denbigh (d) 0 KHS 9 Lafayette (d) 0 KHS 9 Ferguson (d) 0 KHS 8 Warwick (d) 1 KHS 8 Menchville (d) 1 KHS 0 St. Christopher 9 KHS 2 St. Christopher 7 KHS 1 Woodberry Forest 8 KHS 7 Hampton Roads Academy 2 9-3 District (d) 8-0 Sports — 92 Individuals district champion Fred Wright anticipates an overhead smash Front Row: Allen Staub.

To describe the Regional tournament as a disappointment for the Warriors would have been a gross understatement. Coast- ing to an 8-1 victory over a most amicable and sportsmanslike team from First Colonial, the Kecoughtan netters advanced to the finals where they were destined to be defeated by arch-rival Maury of Norfolk. In a hostile and controversy- ridden match, the KHS netmen fell victim to a 5-4 loss. Most improved player Jeff Hamilton fought cramps and antagonism, but succeeded in capturing the number three singles. Allen Whitaker, the most valu- able player, burdened with the crucial match of the team competition, carried the rivalry into three sets, but ul- timately lost. After splitting the singles 3-3 and capturing the number three doubles and the first sets of both numbers one and two doubles, Kecoughtan needed only to win one of the four remaining sets to re- tain their Regional crown.

Although the overall record of two wins, seven losses was not a winning one, the season was successful in terms of indi- vidual games. The scores did not reveal the close sets and narrow defeats that marked the year. Leading the team, senior Mardy South was named most valuable player for her contribution to the team. She also participated in regional competition. Sophomore Cindy Njus, finishing the year at sixth seed, was named most improved player. Junior Cheryl Stietenroth, in her first year of varsity tennis, also showed much improvement in both singles and doubles play. Sophomores Cynt hia Shirley, and Becky Savage added strength to the team as second and third seeds, at the same time gaining experience for the future.

Could it be that the tennis player imagined that the ball was his troubles as he smashed it into the next court, or did the water skier pretend that he was a hydroplane zooming past the crowd? The swimmer might have imagined that he was a fish, or possibly a shark as he swam through the water at the pool or a beach.

Sophomore Marti Wiggins aims her hoop ' towards the ultimate prize, a Coke, in the Key Club booth at the ICC carnival. Just as a piece of fabric is not complete without the trim, so the school life at Kecoughtan was not complete with just classes, homework, and tests. Pro- bably students participated more zealously in extracurricular dubs and other organ- izational activities than in any other facet of high school. Warriors chan- neled their fathomless energies into community projects, fund-raising schemes, literary productions, and float building. The classes by far proved to be the most active, sponsoring dances and com- peting for the spirit jug at pep rallies. Although there were always superficial reasons for being part of a club (for the record ), the real purpose of such group gatherings remained in finding friends, developing talents, and spending extra time constructively.

There once was a flagtwirler from Kecoughtan who always had a green and White flag in her hand. Then the Twirling got tough when she forgot her Stuff, so she quit twirling and learned To do the can-can. Although the limerick rhymes, it does not really apply to Kecoughtan flag twirlers. The girls, composing the squad, were a diligent and persevering group, even when the twirling got tough. Through endless practice sessions, the flagtwirlers managed to put together synchronized and entertaining routines. Besides twirling at games, parades, and pep rallies, the members worked to raise funds for the squad. During foot- ball homecoming season, they sold spirit pins, increasing both school enthusiasm and their treasury.

In eager preparatio n for the school year, the majorettes learned new routines when they attended the National Majorette Clinic held at Lynchburg College in August. Led by captain Kathie Dalton and with the support of Mrs. Adgeline Hill, the majorettes sponsored a summer yard sale, and several bake asles. They also com- bined their efforts with the flagtwirlers and sold popcorn balls at the SCA-ICC Fall Carnival. By selling donuts, they raised enough money to purchase new hoop batons. Bearing candy striped batons and fur ear-muffs, KHS majorettes greeted Santa Claus and marched with the band in the Hampton Christmas Day Parade. Special attractions included twirling floures- cent batons at Sophomore orientation and twirling fire batons at the final foot- ball game.

Meeting after school in the library, students vied for the five co- veted positions on the chess team. The competition, open to anyone interested in joining the club, attracted many hope- fuls, but eventually produced five rep- resentatives. In first position on the team was John McGuire; the second board was covered by Mark Lord; playing third was Mark Hosher; covering the fourth board was Andy Yuengert; and Ravi Dhanvada held his own on the fifth. The team was not, however, unalterable and members of the Chess Club could challenge for spots on the team if they desired to do so. Entering competition with only one loss the previous year, the Chess Team defeated school after school. Then, ap- proximately midway through the season, Ravi Dhanvada was challenged by Scott Rittenhouse and lost This did not, however, affect the team which continued its matches and finished first in district with a phenomenal 10-0 record. The Chess Team did not constitute the entire club For those players who did not make the team, there was the oppor- tunity to meet frequently and compete with each other. In addition, an all-school tournament, excluding Chess Team mem- bers, was held with Larry Caison winning. As the final club event, the annual awards banquet was held at Shakey ' s Pizza Parlor. After the presentation of school letters and trophies, each member left, thinking back on the past season.

Excitement! Kecoughtan ' s Varsity cheerleaders thrived on creating enthu- siasm among the Warrior fans. They thrilled people with their human pyramids, and brought about crowd participation with their spirited yells. Co-captains, Chris Duck and Jody Winegrad, stressed unity and close camraderie within their group. Each girl was responsible for participa- ting in a certain number of games. During the summer the girls attended a national cheerleading camp where they received three superior ribbons and a first place trophy for their creative skits and cheers Raising money for new uniforms and other supplies was difficult, but the Varsity cheerleaders thought of a new idea — distributing circulars for local merchants. Other fund raising activities included the ever popular donut and bake sales. Ending the year with a rousing wel- come for the spring sports at the last pep rally, the cheerleaders still main- tained their enthusiasm and their charis- matic ability to thrill the crowds. Rah!

Each day, the students blocked out and practiced marches with the drum major, Steve Snyder; only after Mr. Fred Pendergraft was completely satisfied could the band go home Band members did not have long to reflect, however Within two weeks they were again marching, this time in the Hampton Christmas Parade This was only the beginning of their Christmas events. During December, the band welcomed three Santas to area malls and received dona- tions from each mall for playing. In addition to this money, the band raised operating funds through several other projects, including a raffle and the sale of Wisconsin cheeses which netted $ 1 500 Leaving fund raising behind, the band concentrated its efforts on several concerts and competitions which lay ahead The Winter Concert, presented in February, featured the William Tell Overture, Capriccio Itaiien. and several other Italian selections. In March, the. band was afforded a chance to compare its talents with other area bands in the District VIII Band Festival. Later in May, the band presented its annual Root Beer and Pretzel Concert which included several skits and pop” music. As its final activity, the band played for the graduation ceremonies, saying good-bye to the departing Class of ' 77. Concert Band: — Front Row: Karen Murray, Deanne Laird. Janna Johnson.

Like clockwork, the students took their music from its file cabinet, set up their stand, and began their traditional warm- up exercises. Soon, everyone was ready to practice. Taking his position in front of the band, the director opened his folder and named the piece to be played With a quick, one, two, three, four, ' the blare of the trumpets, and the crash of the cymbals, another morning rehearsal began In the KHS band room, scenes such as this were commonplace Meeting each morning at 7:30, Mr. Fred Pendergraft and the top musicians of the Symphonic Band worked difficult passages in their music. No matter what the style, whether jazz or rock, the constant goal was per- fection. As the highlight of the Stage Band ' s performances, the group participated in the District Stage Band Festival in which they were well rated.

A variety of spicy foods from different Latin countries were featured, and club members performed short skits which displayed the customs of each country Being able to eat traditional foods and to view part of the Spanish culture provided a unique learning ex- perience for members. Highlighting the year, both organi- zations greeted German Exchange students with typical Spanish hospitality, and invited them to dine at the Foreign Language Banquet.

The Wizard of Oz CLUB MISHMASH Serving to satisfy the diverse in- terests of the student body, the school ' s clubs and organizations offered a wide variety of activities from which Warriors could choose With extra-curricular op- portunities ranging from student govern- ment to foreign language clubs, Kecough- taners enthusiastically participated in projects, such as dances and bake sales. More importantly, the clubs, in con- junction with the school ' s outstanding curriculum, helped develop a sense of cooperation between students and helped promote a greater unity within the school Highlighting the year ' s activities were successes on the part of several organizations. The Mistletoe and Holly Ball, sponsored by the Keyette and Key Clubs, was one of the best in several years. The NJROTC Drill Team traveled to national competition, gaining the honor of best ' ' in the country. Con- tinuing their reputation as the finest high school publications, Tribal Tales. Tomahawk, and Torch won first place honors in VHSL competition. In short, although these few examples barely represented the year ' s events, the activities of the clubs and organizations were generally marked with success. But even for those who were not involved in competition, club activities enriched their lives and provided outlets for their energies and talents.

The topic dis- cussed included Make-up, the Actor and the Director, and Dance and Set Con- struction. During the ICC Fall Carnival, drama people spent ten hours making 500 caramel apples, only to have half of the delights melt before the carnival activities began. Venturing to Richmond on two separate oc- casions, club members enjoyed the pro- ductions, The Country Wife and Mousetrap, performed by professional actors of the Virginia Museum Repertory Theater. An- other enjoyable activity was traveling to Norfolk to attend the Tidewater Dinner Theater. The ultimate function of the club was an awards banquet.

Eligible students were inducted in the winter ceremonies. Exemplifying the exceptional abi- lities of Thespians, Kecoughtan ' s Troupe 2847 was invited by WHRO-TV to perform two scenes dealing with the new Title IX program (prohibiting sex-dis- crimination) which was effected in all Hampton City Schools. Taped by the local PBS educational channel, the scenes were to be televised in early fall of 1 977. At the beginning of the school year, there were only two members: Lisa Cipri- ano. the club president and Patti O ' Toole, a transfer student. Due to the insuffi- cient number of members, the club was temporarily declared inactive. However, with the winter induction, the club ' s numbers swelled and the Kecoughtan Chapter of Thespians was re-instated.

Mrs. Joel Grimm, co-sponsor of Quill and Scroll, began the initiation by des- cribing the organization and what was re- quired of its members. Next, Mrs. Sophia Romano discussed the workings of the yearbook, and announced the names of the selectees from the Tomahawk staff. Mrs. Grimm reported on Tribal Tales inaugurees and gave a background of the newspaper.

In addition to tutoring Kecoughtan stu- dents, members also tutored at Phillips Elementary School, Spratley Junior High, and Syms Junior High. Fees for tutoring at Kecoughtan were two dollars an hour, of which 25% went to the Math Honor Society treasury, while elementary and junior high students were not charged Members of the Math Honor Society kept busy with issues such as the draft- ing of a new constitution and the possible addition of a point-system.

In charge of tutoring, vice-president, Susan Corzilius, was faced with the task of persuading reluctant members to tutor Recording secretary, Allison Bowers, kept accurate minutes of all business brought up in the course of meetings, while corresponding secretary Lynn Reding, took care of invitations for the induction of new members.

Before school, between classes, during lunch and after school. Warriors gathered along The Wall to discuss plans for the weekend, cram for tests, and finish last minute assignments. During the early fall season, the football players reigned supreme along The Wall; then the basketball players took over. Dominated by all kinds of seniors — from jocks to cheerleaders to intellectuals — The Wall population in- creased as the year wore on. The senior domination waned as some juniors and a few select sophomores joined the senior contingent. By this time, a detour of Corridor 5 was necessary if one planned to get to class on time.

Upon request of Dr. William A. Anderson, Superintendent of Hampton Schools, the BAC (no, not BankAmericard!) was created to keep the superintendent abreast of issues and problems within the individual Hampton City High Schools. Comprised of five parents, five teachers and five students, with Mr. Harry B Dyche and Mr. Fred Bockoven as ex-officio members, the committee discussed pro- blems specific to Kecoughtan and offered solutions. A wide variety of issues were introduced, and the committee res- ponded with just as many varied sugges- tions, owing to diverse backgrounds and different vantage points of the members Subjects ranging from vandalism to the nine-weeks system gained their place on the monthly agenda as the council tried to determine three major objectives for the ‘77-18 session.

Involved in seeking out new worlds and new aspects of the former popular show Star Trek, the crew of the Trekkies Club met and discussed personalities from the show, constructed models of the spaceship ' ' Enterprise” and spent a Saturday in Washington, D C. for the annual Star Trek convention Trekkie fans from around the country converged on the nation ' s capitol to discuss Star Trek and its creators, the recent popular Trekkie books and the possibility of re- viving the Star Trek show Captained by John Graham, Kecoughtan trekkies, though few, displayed a showcase and honored Star Trek Week through special announce- ments over the school P.A. system. The trekkie fans wrote letters to NBC and the Star Trek actors in an at- tempt to revive the once-popular scientific show. Off to a slow start the membership in the newly formed club climbed as the year progressed. In their efforts to revive the Star Trek series, the trekkies hoped for more support next year and planned on producing an all-out Star Trek campaign.

With an entire unit, averaging from 75 to 105 cadets, the NJROTC participated in parades. A first place trophy was earned in September at the Poquoson parade, and two others were awarded dur- ing Christmas parades. Other trophies for best color guard and marching unit were also earned. The Rifle Team completed locally on the peninsula as well as nationally in postal matches involving units organized in other parts of the country. Ensign Lisa Pike was the team captain. She was ranked the 1 female shooter in the country among all competing teams, and the entire team ranked sixth among 68 schools. Drill team competition was most impor- tant as the ROTC ' s won three first place and one second place trophies. The mem- bers competed at various locations over the United States, including the national drill team competition at Fort Meyer, Va.

Last year, the pub- lication took first place honors in state competition, and the pressure was on the 1 976-77 staff to do as well Surmounting all pessimism, the group pro- duced a journal that was equal, if not better, to its predecessor. Composed completely of student lit- erature, artwork, and photographs. Torch became the vehicle by which Warriors expressed themselves. Creativity was the only requirement, and the KHS students had it in abundance. The written contri- butions ranged from poems to essays to short stories. Photographs and illust- rations rounded out the artistic creations. Sponsored by Mrs Sophia Romano, the student staff made all the selections and drew up the layouts themselves. Even greater than the students ' enjoyment of their own and others ' works was seeing the magazine in its final form.

Similar cries of despair were fre- quently heard echoing from D-6, where Annual Staffers gave of their time and energy to produce one of the largest and best yearbooks in Virginia. These calls for help could often be quelled by Alberto ' s pizzas, delivered in cases of emergency when inspiration failed to arrive before eight or nine o ' clock at night The ever-impending deadlines meant piling on layout assignments to the willing)?) workers, eliciting either suicidal moans or ominous threats of breaking all the scaleographs and pica rulers At times the editor, Elisa Devorshak, and copy editor, Allison Bowers, wondered if it was possible to be ahead of schedule, or if they would ever escape from the mountains of copy, dummy sheets, and pictures As in every organization, money is a necessity, and in order to produce such a large annual, also meant participating in fund-raising activities. The ingenuity of the sponsor, Mrs Sophia Romano, led to such weighty projects as cookie sales (lots of cookies!), shipyard donut sales (lots of donuts!), a rummage sale in corrobor- ation with the newspaper staff, and a very successful Talent Show As the Annual Staffers steadily worked their way to the final (whew!) deadline, they realized that inspiration came not only from themselves and their peers, but mostly from the overwhelming desire to pass or graduate; in this respect, the completion of the yearbook held more than enough rewards to compensate for all the spent labor. Newsmakers Incorporating varied writing skills and contemporary layout design, the staff of Tribal Tales endeavored to produce a newspaper representative of Kecoughtan. Providing experienced leadership and or- ganization, Editor-in-chief Mary Huntley and Co-Editor Ted Warren supervised the year long production of 14 regular issues comprised of news, editorials, sports, and features In addition, each issue contained a section devoted to student complaints, opinions, and suggestions pertaining to KHS In M ay. the paper published a final issue dedicated to the Senior Class Typifying the consummate effort of the staff, the issue included a summary of the year ' s activities, the Senior Class History, and the Hall of Fame Motivated by their advisor, Mrs. Joel Grimm, staff members weathered the costs of publication in diversified ways, using advertisements to procure the bulk of the money Faculty subscriptions, activity books, and an October garage sale co-sponsored with the Tomahawk staff provided additional funds. Mrs Grimm, in addition to sponsoring her fourteenth volume of Tribal Tales, furnished exten- sive instruction to pupils enrolled in Journalistic Writing, and courses in layout, speech, and advertising. Application of techniques embodied in the courses afforded recognition at the Virginia High School League Workshop in Charlottesville In the category of news magazine, the paper garnered a first place award.

Along with photographers David Trask, Sally Doyle, and Pat Duffy, Scott was one of an endangered species who found safety in the refuge of the darkroom, habitat of all camerabugs. These poor creatures were assisted in their struggle for sur- vival by Bryan Turner, Lonny Nunemaker, Sue Cournoyer, and Ann Minniear. Offering up their afternoons, lunch hours and evenings, the photographers would make frequent forays out of their den to take photos of sports events, plays, clubs, and banquets.

Kecoughtan ' s radio show, the Warrior Tom-Tom, was broadcast to the area ' s eager listeners. Written, organi- zed, and produced by KHS students, the program offered news, sports, features, and interviews relevant to today ' s high schooler. Topics ranged from a discussion of teenage alcoholism to musical perfor- mances to an interview of German exchange students. Under the guidance of advisor Mrs. Joel Grimm and Mr. Tom Bradshaw of WVEC. the group taped the shows after school on the Thursday prior to a weekend broadcast.

In ad- dition to heralding the day ' s news, the SCA manned the voting booths for sopho- more, junior, and senior class elections, and football and homecoming courts. They also organized the football homecoming festivities. Supporting the muscular dystrophy cause, the SCA encouraged stu- dents to participate in the Walk for Mankind. In answer to the popularity of the suggestion, the SCA installed the coke machines. Fall brought crisp weather and the ICC Carnival to the Warrior reservation. The carnival coordinated the booths of the various clubs and organizations into a fair day for Kecoughtan students.

Are you interested in learning about careers and business opportunities? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the DECA (the Distributive Education Clubs of America) has something for you. Entering the club early in September, new members soon discovered that DECA was indeed one of the most active organi- zations at Kecoughtan. Immediately, they were put to work constructing a float for the football homecoming parade. In com- petition, the float placed second. This was not, however, the only award which the club received — it was just the first of many. Other honors included a first place for the boy ' s softball team in a city-wide DECA tournament and several awards in the annual DECA competitions. Receiving a first place overall in re- gional competition, the club entered at the state level, taking a first place in dietetics, another first place in voca- tional understanding, and a fifth place overall. From there, three members, Lori Barger, Jeannie Johnson, and Kathie Dalton, were sent to the national compe- tition in Anaheim, California. Participation in competition was not, however, the organization ' s primary con- cern; instead, it concentrated on help- ing its members acquire and develop the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the business world. To do this, the club located businessmen throughout the area who were willing to give DECA mem- bers jobs and to help train them in business skills. As a special thanks to these employers, an employer-employee banquet was held in their honor. In addition, other activities includ- ed several pie and candy sales to meet operating costs, a fund raising drive for Muscular Dystrophy, several picnics, beach parties and car rallies.

German Clubblers In Action Meeting frequently after school, the members of the German Club were kept busy throughout the school year Beginning their activities in the early fall, club members attended an Old Dominion Univer- sity workshop sponsored by the National Federation of German Students. There they spent the day sitting-in on clinics on German dancing and other aspects of the German culture, and sampling German food and drinks. As Christmas drew near, the members began their annual sale of advent calen- dars in order to raise operating funds; however, response to the sale was poor, and the group was forced to lower its prices, taking a loss in the end. They were not easily discouraged, however, and were soon at work again — this time selling the ever popular Gummi Bears. After several weeks of hard work, Karen Torger- son — -the club president — happily announc- ed that the sales had brought in approxi- mately S200. Celebrating their success with a Fasching party — a German pre lenten feast — club members began discussing plans for the visit of the German exchange students who were to arrive in early April. Upon their arrival, German Club members worked in cooperation with the exchange services to make the German students ' stay both interesting and enjoyable. After saying good-bye to their Ger- man guests, the German Club got down to the final business of the year. Elections were held and new officers elected.

Of major importance in the club ' s schedule was the District IV VICA Con- test in which participants were afforded an opportunity to match their skills with members of other clubs on the Peninsula. In the contest, VICA members competed in approximately forty different categories which demonstrated either their knowledge of various aspects of leadership or their skills in any of several industries and trades. In the scrapbook competition, Kecoughtan ' s club received first place honors with Sue Byrd receiving a second place for her occupational scrapbook. In skills competition, Duane Smith earned a third place for his cabinet-making abilities. In addition«to the competition, many club members had a chance to apply their knowledge on the job. VICA ' s aim was to find its members jobs in technical, in- dustrial, trade, and health education fields. For the employers who cooperated in the job program, an employer-employee banquet was held at the Hispanola Restaurant. Other activities included setting up and running an exhibition on Hampton Fair Day, taking a boat tour of the Hampton Roads, and, as the final event of the year, a picnic at Newport News Park.

With the leadership of the executive board. Jay Napoleon, vice- president; Allen Whitaker, treasurer; Jeff Hamilton, secretary and Louis Yuengert, the club fulfilled its purpose of service to the school and community. A nation-wide plea for help with swine flu vaccinations was answered by the club at the Coliseum Mall. Key Clubbers helped registered nurses to administer the vaccine Hoping that Vitamin C would help build up a resistance, members of the Key Club sold Florida-grown oranges and grapefruits to the health-conscious com- munity. The Florida Sunshine Project garnered the funds for the Mistletoe and Holly Ball, the Christmas dance, co- sponsored with the Keyettes Another beneficial drive in which the dedicated Key Clubbers were involved was the Heart Fund In a heart to heart drive, they collected funds door-to-door which were presented by Louis Yuengert to the Heart Fund.

A new project originated through involve- ment with the Hampton Social Services Department; the club sponsored two Hampton welfare families, donating Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter baskets and sending gifts appropriate for the holidays. Highlights of the Keyette year con- sisted of the annual Mistletoe and Holly ball, which was decorated in the theme of Christmas in Camelot” and the tradi- tional Spaghetti Dinner, which proved to be a great success.

Not only did the Warrior educators instill their own style into the given curriculum, nearly everyone assumed the added respon- sibilities of sponsoring a club, coaching a sport, or working individually with students after school. Keeping up with the continual modification in educational methods, faculty members continued their own education in order to better prepare themselves for teaching high school. They faced unceasing evaluation and criticism, either from formal accreditation com- mittees or from those they catered to — the students. The curriculum was constantly re- vised in all departments and long-range plans were finalized to convert the nine week system to a semester schedule. At any rate, the teachers, combined with their classes, provided for a rich adorn- ment of style and method, adding to Ke- coughtan ' s personality quilt.

These familiar faces were members of the Kecoughtan faculty. The work of the teacher was never finished. Faculty members could be found writing-up lesson plans, grading papers, having student conferences, or supervising various extracurricular activities.

Neither hysterical parents, nor nagging teachers, nor a major operation could keep Chief Harry B Dyche, Kecough- tan ' s principal, from making his rounds of the school. While the load of school problems kept the Big Injun busy, he didn ' t let himself get bogged down Seldom a day passed that Mr Dyche wasn ' t observing classes, participating in a school acti- vity, or just having a friendly conver- sation with a student in the halls In keeping with his inclination for innovation. Mr Dyche considered the Building Advisory Committee an important step toward improving the school ' s rela- tions with the public. As an ex-officio member. Mr Dyche presided over the meetings which set short range goals for the overall improvement of Kecoughtan Mr Dyche also fulfilled the tradi- tional roles of a principal. Much of his time was spent soothing the frayed nerves of students, parents, and teachers The general administration of the school also came under his jurisdiction; in this capacity. Mr. Dyche insured that each of the departments was well-stocked with books and other needed supplies. Obviously, the school s ability to function hinged on Mr Dyche ' s perfor- mance. and he ran one smooth operation. Coke adds life, but Mr Dyche doesn ' t need it All that he needs is one playing field, eleven Warriors, and an opposing team to get him up and cheering During the annual KHS faculty-vs-the WGH Jokes basketball game.

Together Mr Larry Waddell, Mr. Walter Jones, and Mr. Frederick Bockoven, formed a three- man team which worked under Mr. Harry B. Dyche to manage the Warrior reservation. The newest addition to the group of vice-principals, Mr. Bockoven replaced Dr Allen Davis after his resignation Coming from Spratley Junior High School, Mr. Bockoven soon learned the ins-and- outs of his job. As curriculum director, he reviewed each student ' s schedule change, smoothed out the rough edges of the nine week system, and evaluated sug- gestions concerning course variations. After-school activities were the specialty of Mr. Waddell. Extracurricular activities, such as dances and sports events, were all under his supervision; he also coordinated the monthly activities calendar, an indispensable item to the active Warrior. General administration of the build- ing was in the hands of Mr. Jones. Always on the go. he distributed hall lockers, kept daily records of student attendance, and directed the custodial staff in the maintenance of the school. These three men daily proved that teamwork was essential for the well- being of students and school alike.

David Anderson discusses his future plans with Mrs Jane Price Yes I see. Mrs. Duffy. I’ll see that Patrick stops asking for additional homework! Mrs Alma Luck discusses Pat Duffy ' s school enthusiasm with Mrs Duffy Concentrating its attention on the individual, the Guidance Department ran smoothly and efficiently. Mr Harold Parrish frequently held workshops for students needing financial aid. Students were frequently seen (with yellow passes in hand) marching to their counselors for appointments. Guidance felt these con- ferences were a necessity, as they in- cluded the discussion of grades and class rankings, personal records, standardized test scores and career choices. Preparing the students for after graduation” was another objective of guidance. In hopes that their material would be utilized by the students, counselors made available college bul- letins, career information and trade school brochures which listed entrance requirements, school size, and descrip- tions of various classes. Luck was with the Guidance Department this year, literally! Mrs. Alma Luck was in charge of the new Computerized Voca- tional Information System (CVIS) for sophomores. By sitting in front of a keyboard and television screen, sopho- mores were able to explore a range of career opportunities and alternatives, in- cluding local jobs, four-year colleges, mili- tary opportunities and apprenticeships. Be- cause the system proved successful, it was made available to all the students. I found it! Amazed by David Trask ' s ability to locate his own name.

Taking advantage of the quiet during classes. Mrs Alese Evans catches up on some paper work CONFUSION was the word used by students to describe the bookstore atmosphere. During lunch, between classes and before and after school, the bookstore teemed with people trying to buy candy, forgotten school supplies, or as just the place to meet friends. De- mands for lifesavers, pencils, paper, pens, and erasers echoed continually through the main hall. In addition, the chatter of school gossip battled con- stantly with the insistent jangling of the cash register. The bookstore was also a homebase for fund-raising acti- vities where — all classes collected dues. Seniors and Juniors sold mums and roses, and assembly tickets could be purchased. Manager of the bookstore, Mrs. Alese Evans handled club funds, school money and, with the help of student aides, operated the mimeograph machine. Stu- dents and teachers knew the bookstore was their lifesaver. Academics and Faculty — 169 You may not believe this. Coach, but I DO have an excuse for being late. My alarm didn’t go off this morning and upon realizing this, I leaped out of bed only to discover that I didn ' t have a clean pair of jeans. While my jeans were being washed, I ate breakfast, then I started for school. On my way, a dog bit me, forcing me to go to the hospital. I kept telling the doctor that I would rather go to school than receive the rabies shots, but he just didn ' t seem to care. Finally I arrived at school, and I discovered that I had left my term paper at home. I returned home, only to find out that my little brother had taken my paper by mistake. I dashed over to his school and retrieved my paper. Well, I ' m here. If you don ' t believe me, you can call my mother. This was just a sample of the sometimes outrageous excuses heard by the deans, Mrs. Shirley Booth and Coach Ben Rich. However, absences and tardies were not their only job; they also worked with students, helping them to cope with their problems. Mrs. Booth and Coach Rich were responsible for providing students confined at home with home- bound instruction and tutors. With all the duties the job entailed, the deans hardly had a spa re moment through the school day. Now what ' s your excuse? Keeping track of students ' tales of fantasy. Coach Ben Rich is constantly busy Pretending to call the police. Mrs Shirley Booth jokes with the first flasher in her many years of dealing with all kinds of people Another Check-point Charlie? No . . . the giant metallic book- snatcher catcher was really the new check-point security system installed in the KHS library. With the loss of ap- proximately 700 books per year, the security proved to be successful, and students learned that checking out books was not as bothersome as being catched by Charlie! Not only did the library undergo a major overhaul with a new security system and $9000 budgeted for new books, but it also acquired a new staff. Mrs. Jean Owen, Ms. Karen Booth, and Mr Lloyd Thomas teamed up with head librarian, Ms. Nancy Spain. They formed the competent team who aided in the re- cording, filing, and counting of old and new books. Each librarian helped the library become a better learning facility with its new reference books and a wider selection of other materials. 1 doz. eggs, 2 artichokes Is library clerk, Mrs Jean Owen, typing her grocery list or over due notices for forgetful KHS students?

Department head, Mr. Ira Warner, along with the other business teachers, organized the programs to be taught. Although Mrs. Judy McPherson guided stu- dents in mastering stenographic skills, one of her outside interests included playing bridge. Outside of her teaching responsibilities, Mrs. Joan South again sponsored the Varsity cheerleaders and was a state representative to the NEA. Sports were enjoyed by Mrs. Peggy Be- couvarakis who played tennis and golf. With the arrival of warm weather, Mrs. Nancy Shrout could be found sailing along the waters of the peninsula. She also assisted the Senior Class and Tomahawk staff by typing for them. Mrs. Jane Rodgers was quite a seamstress, sewing and doing other needlework, aside from her teaching duties The Business Department proved very successful due to its excellent staff.

These courses not only benefited the business major but also those who wanted to attain good paying part time jobs. Of all the courses, Personal Typing proved the most popular, as it could be applied not only to careers but also to personal use such as typing research papers for English and social studies classes. Students who wished to further their edu- cation in the business field took more detailed classes such as the block pro- gram which was two hours long. Here, the students studied Clerk-Typing, Stenography I and II. Clerical Accounting, Office Services and Business Data Pro- cessing completed the cycle Non-vocational courses, nine weeks in length, were also offered Informative and practical, these courses such as Man- aging Money, Business and You, Insurance and Investments, and Consumer Problems helped to make the Business Department complete, by preparing the students for the real work world which they were bound to deal with in the future.

Various cultural facets of unfamiliar countries were included in the foreign language course studies, as well as an em- phasis on grammar skills The first three years of a foreign language involved the mastery of basic grammar skills, along with an introduction to the customs and traditions of the different countries. Students who chose to pursue a foreign language into fourth and fifth years practiced reading and composition skills and went more deeply into cultural studies of art and literature.

The white-robed Molecule Masters found insanity their dilemma as hundreds of students crowded the already tightly packed classes. Due to increasing in- terest in science, the KHS teachers found themselves short-handed in the Biology department. Three weeks into the school year, Mrs. Ann Tucker joined the ranks of the illustrious pedagogues. With her assistance, science classes settled down to a normal routine of learning.

By process of elimination, students dis- covered that Elec Mag, Sol liq Gas. and Animal Tax were just esoteric names for science classes. However, some confused students rushed to Guidance complaining, only to have it pointed out to them that Electricity and Magnetism was a Physics course, not a sex-education class. Other science courses were disguised under the headings of Solutions and Equilibriums, Classical Mechanics and Vertebrate and Invertebrate Behavior. No matter how confusing course names were, all science classes fit neatly under four headings — Biology, Chemistry, Phys iology and Physics. In Biology, students ' eyes were opened to the mysteries of life, from the smallest cell to the complex human body. Chemistry students enjoyed conducting ex- periments almost weekly; the labs ranged from the study of oxygen content in various waters to the distillation of al- cohol. Speakers, mainly doctors and science professors, visited the Physio- logy students, lecturing on the functions of the human body Reading from seven different texts and continually taking n otes kept these students busy.

In between calculations stu- dents took tests, performed labs, and at- tended programs on Engineering. In spite of vague course code names, the material taught in classes was specific and comprehensive. Students learned how to attack problems by using the scientific method of investigation, regardless of the class, which enabled them to make many discoveries. They found the science courses informative.

Mr. Mark Vandervort, another new teacher, coached Junior Varsity basketball and tennis, in addition to taking on a regular English course load. Many of the veterans still around helped to see students through their various English classes. Mrs. Betty Bragg uplifted old standbys. Mythology and Julius Caesar, as well as cutting out silhouettes, her hobby. On weekends, one could often find Mr. Victor Taylor at the William and Mary library helping students with research papers. The English Department was the largest and most diverse department at Kecoughtan. and staff members reflected this in their teaching, as they derived new ways to present materials to their students.

In his first year as department head, Mr. Garland Wesson directed the entire English faculty in adding more courses while evaluating and improving old ones. Several new studies graced the re- vised curriculum. An innovative class taught by Mrs. Pamela Martin, The Ameri- can Film, exposed students to techniques used in reviewing movies. Garden and the Wilderness, a course introduced by Mrs. Sophia Romano, investigated biblical metaphors in literature. Students had an opportunity to write on individual ex- periences in Personal Writing, instructed by Mrs. Polly Butler. In the more fundamental areas, basic grammar and composition improved writing skills: literature courses, meanwhile, provided a greater understanding and interest in authors and their works. (And, if the Warriors still weren ' t in- spired to read, new school board regula- tions made the reading of three novels each nine weeks mandatory.) Other time- tested courses were revamped in order to meet the growing needs of the students. Indeed, the everchanging attitudes and curriculum made the ' 76- ' 77 school year a time of growth and renewal.

Aside from regular teaching duties, social studies teachers served as coaches and club sponsors. Mr. James Hathaway and Mr. Revis Conrad spent long hours coaching the varsity basketball team while soccer coach. Mr. Joe Hagy. also doubled as Senior Class sponsor. In addition to teaching history and Latin, Miss Mary Ball sponsored both the Latin Club and Latin Honor Society. Working diligently as co-sponsor of the Senior Class, as well as teaching history, Mrs. Norma Seals had little leisure time. After completing school-related duties, teachers relaxed while enjoying various hobbies Mrs. Sara Alligood spent many after-school hours shopping Fishing and sailing were Mr. Donald Taylor ' s leisure time activities. Working on a Masters Degree was Miss Emma Flood ' s major after-school project. Members of the Social Studies staff managed to combine their jobs with extra- curricular activities and hobbies. Each teacher ' s own personality was reflected in his choice of leisure time pursuits. Are you sure you did your homework?

In its second year of the quinmester system, the Social Studies curriculum continued to meet the diverse needs of the student body. Being divided into history classes for Juniors and govern- ment classes for Seniors, students were afforded the opportunity to choose their courses according to their academic abilities and interests. History courses ranged from basic studies such as Colonization to the Civil War to advanced ones such as Amherst. The former provided students with a fundamental knowledge of events occurring in America up to the Civil War, while the latter gave students a chance to investigate and form opinions on several historic events. Seniors, too, were offered a wide range of courses to choose from. While American Political Behavior, which familiarized students with the United States ' political system, was a required course for all Seniors, all other course selections were left up to the students. To be sure, the Social Studies program was a successful one and welcomed by the student body. Go Down In History’ 0 Laboring over her notes, Mrs Mary Anna Lair compiles the next day s test Who me?!

Music provided an escape for budding musicians and vocalists. Choral students expressed themselves through A ' Cappella. Boys ' Chorus, Girls’ Chorus and music appreciation classes. Strings orchestra, music theory, stage, symphonic and lab band classes provided outlets for student creativity. Aspiring young artists proved their ability through extensive studies in drawing, painting, figure-drawing, sculp- ture, jewelry and 3-d crafts. Students discovered art careers through commerical- ism and advertising and acquired the back- ground knowledge of art through art history classes. Through family living, money manage- ment, child-care, cookery, and home-furn- ishing classes, future homemakers learned the management and planning of home care. Home Economic students kept chopsticks on hand when principal Mr. Harry B. Dyche taught a special session on Chinese cuisine.

Time was still available, however, for individual activity and just plane (plain) fun. Mr Claude Hopson, Construction and Manufacturing instructor, devoted class time to teaching such essential skills as masonry, carpentry and other construction techniques. The element of enjoyment was provided through class projects and extra- curricular activities with the Industrial Arts Club. Under Mr. Hopson ' s direction, the club held weekly meetings and utilized class-acquired skills in creating indi- vidual projects. Other activities for Mr. Hopson included bowling, gardening and supporting KHS athletics. When Head Football Coach Aaron Gibson wasn ' t out on the girdiron. he was converting eager young beavers into as- piring carpenters and architects In Mechanical Drawing class. Coach Gibson emphasized different architectural draw- ing methods, while Woodworking found him demonstrating the intricate art of building that perfect bookcase. Providing a more in depth explora- tion of the architectural field, Mr. Wellington Saeker instructed Mechanical Drawing 1-111. The curriculum incorpora- ted skills vital to the field such as isometric, section and auxiliary drawings. Students acquired other necessary instruc- tion, depending on their own level of proficiency. In happier, idle time, Mr. Saeker was an avid fan of outdoor sports while doubling as a backyard mechanic. A new addition to the Industrial Arts faculty was Mr. Paul Ardary. Teaching Mechanical Drawing and Woodworking Mr. Ardary included all the necessary skills while still allowing room for his own provocative and individual teaching methods. Extra-curricular activities for Mr. Ardary included teaching junior high Industrial Arts at Syms, coaching Phoebus soccer and anxiously preparing for the following day of class at KHS Chalk up another one!

The serenity of this beau- tiful spring day was suddenly shattered into reality by the ever popular (and equally blood-curdling) cry, Ahh . . . yyy . . .! Could it be a frazzled in- structor recovering from a little rougher ride than usual? Could it be a deranged student suffering from a hard time behind the wheel? Whatever the case, this was Driver’s Ed. Ultimately the goal of almost every high school student was to attain that great symbol of freedom and responsibility , the driver ' s license. However, the Catch- 22 of the matter lies in two vital and major obstacles: 7 1 0070 — Classroom and 700010 — Behind the Wheel Driver ' s Ed. Included in the curriculum of Class- room Driver ' s Ed were the basic indis- pensable skills of the road such as trans- lating traffic signs, speed control, turn- ing, parking (the car, that is) and fol- lowing the law of the land. Helpful hints in buying car insurance, making minor re- pairs and even how to buy a car added to the forum to make each student a com- petent driver. Further interest and edu- cation to drive home the point of safe driving was supplied by FASCINATING and PROVOCATIVE FILMS. A second major obstacle, Behind-the- Wheel Driver ' s Ed, gave students a chance to practice and apply all of the knowledge obtained in the classroom. This practical application was provided by a coordinated program using the driving simulator, range and on-the-road (on-the-job) training. Simulator driving gave students a stronger background, more practice and even more confidence in driving situations before facing the real life drama of the ROAD. Tight skills and other intricate maneuvers such as parking, figure eights, three-point turns and knocking over pilons were prac- ticed on the range. All in all, the stu- dents had fun and learned something that will never leave them and really pay off in life — safe driv ng.

Under the joint supervision of Commander Edmund Stronski and Chief Arthur Spriggs, the cadets worked diligently in their different activities. One of the more popular activities was the Drill Team, which appeared in several parades in the area, as well as national competitions. One such com- petition was the Duke University NROTC Annual Drill Competition, in which they placed a strong second. NJROTC also consisted of the Color Guard, who performed often at school functions presenting the flags, and the Rifle Team, who competed in local and national matches. Various courses of study were of- fered to the cadets: Naval History, Navigation and Oceanography. Most clubs had difficulty raising money, but the NJROTC cadets solved this problem by having numerous doughnut sales and spon- soring a $500 raffle. The profits gave the cadets capital for future events. Hup I Hoopl Heap! Horp!

Warriors contributed to Hampton ' s com- mercial progress and through jobs and volunteer work, indirectly added to the wealth of the entire city. Those students who did not participate in school-oriented sports often found themselves on city leagues or teams in every imaginable form of athletics. Warriors even found that they were able to express and share ideas with high school students from over the entire area through an active involvement in the Hampton Association of Student Councils And perhaps the way in which individuals played the most part in a growing com- munity was through participation in the increasing numbers of cultural events; Jazz and rock concerts were heavily at- tended Other places frequented by Warriors included the Coliseum Mall, beach, and the myriads of movie theaters found in Hampton.

Big Bird wanders through the fairgrounds greeting all the youngsters. From sadistic car smashers to sensi- tive music listeners, the 14th Annual Hampton Fair Day offered either excite- ment or relaxation. Thousands of resi- dents packed into Gosnold ' s Hope Park to spend a cool, clear Saturday at the dozens of activities, sales, exhibits, and refreshment stands. The fun started nearly as early as the morning itself. By 10:00 a m., two teams of dignified Hamptonians shimmied up nylon ropes, scaled sheer walls, and wildly flung water balloons at each other in a local version of the TV show, Almost Anything Goes . After the com- petition had ended, spectators fanned out in all directions to take part in the on-going festivities. Major attractions for the city youth were the merry-go-round, moon walk, ferris wheel, and a puppet show. The dart games and baseball throw received a fair share of the attention. On the quiet side, several profes- sional and amateur artists from the area set up their works for sale in the ex- tensive art exhibit. Talents ranged from leatherworks to string sculpture to mirror murals. Anyone who was inspired to paint by the art exhibits found his chance at the Graffiti Board. Free of charge, a person could paint anything that came to mind on the white wood easel. Young and old enjoyed the pleasant sounds in the Gosnold amphitheater. There, the Ft. Monroe Continental Army Band per- formed a number of pleasing pop-rock tunes. Food also played an important part in the day. What is a fair day but pop- corn, candied apples, hotdogs and cokes. The day ended with a bang, literally. Climaxing the fun, exciting day, a spec- tacular fireworks display was offered to those still at the p3rk. The explosions and bursts of light created a fantastic scene which on-lookers would long remember.

One of Kecoughtan ' s seniors, Sonja Mardorf, casts her ballot in the mock election sponsored by the Social Studies Department 1976 — a year of speeches, promises, hand-shaking, and debates; a year in which the candidates sold their person- alities rather than their policies. On the national level, several presidential candidates conducted vigor ous campaigns in hope of becoming the nation ' s 41st president. Of all the hopefuls, Gerald Ford, the incumbent Republican and Jimmy Carter, the Democratic challenger from Plains, Georgia, were the most popular. In Virginia ' s U S Senate race, Indepen- dent Harry Byrd locked horns with the Democrat Admiral ElmoZumwalt. Finally, in Virginia ' s First District battle for the House of Representatives, the young Republican Paul Trible confronted Demo- crat Bob Quinn. In the presidential primaries, both Ford and Carter campaigned dynamically within their own parties. Carter easily captured the Democratic nomination, having all but eliminated his opponents by the time of the convention. As his running mate. Carter chose Fritz Mondale The Republican race was quite the opposite, however. Early in the primaries, Ford led his opponent Ronald Reagan by a wide margin, but by the time of the con- vention, this lead had dwindled to almost nothing. In the final neck-to-neck race. Ford managed to gain the necessary quota of votes and named Robert Dole as his running mate. Campaigning began and after several months and three debates between Ford and Carter, voters began taking sides. Throughout the campaign. Carter led, but by election day, pollsters called the election a toss-up. As the returns came in, the media predicted that Carter would be the next president. Despite Ford ' s victories in the North and West, Carter edged out his opponent by carrying the entire South and organized labor. Although a trend of Democratic victories continued throughout the nation, Virginia did not follow suit. From the start of the Senate race, Independent Harry Byrd was a de- cided favorite. On election night Byrd took an early lead and never re- linquished it, defeating Admiral Zumwalt soundly. In Virginia ' s First District House of Representatives battle, the story was slightly different. Both the Republican Paul Trible and his opponent. Bob Quinn, conducted strong campaigns, and Quinn appeared the favorite. In a surprise victory, however, Trible gained the House seat. Prior to the actual elections, the S C. A. and government classes held mock elections. Voting at both national and local levels, the student body and govern- ment classes re-elected Ford for presi- dent, Byrd for senator, and Trible for Congressman. In addition, government students, using actual voting machines, passed five of the six amendments to the Constitution being proposed in Virginia.

Among many decisions, the School Board reached two findings. The nine- week elective system in the high schools was modified. Except for English and Physical Education, all other courses would be taught on a semester basis. Title IX, the anti-sex discrimination directive, was approved. In addition, the Board drafted the budget for Hampton City Schools, allocating funds necessary to employ personnel, furnish school supplies, and support school activities.

Correspondingly, the most important part of Kecoughtan was the people that made it up. Though the approximately 1 600 Warriors were divided into classes, they functioned as one at sports competitions and school events, displaying a school spirit unequaled by class rivalries. Though students favored those in their own graduating year, all at one time or another forsook their partisanship for a more special unity that characterized Kecoughtan ' s Warriors. Our heroes!

Getting into the spirit of a pep rally, enthusiastic Warriors display their loyalty to Kecoughtan. They came from everywhere — Syms. Spratley. and Buckroe, but the new arrivals lived up to their motto 79 Shines by electing outstanding class officers. Guided by president June Peters, the sophomores plunged into their first project — the most difficult, collecting dues. Building their first float involved ingenuity, perseverance, and time. Having learned howto really cheer at the first pep rally, the sopho- mores out-performed the juniors and seniors at the second pep rally and won the coveted Spirit Jug. Money raising projects such as selling donuts and car washes were constantly in progress. By the end of September, the sopho- mores were no longer from Syms, Spratley, and Buckroe — they were WARRIORS from Kecoughtan!

We re not babies ' and What do they think we are! In general, the Class of ' 79 felt insulted by the poorly planned program which por- trayed them as immature and naive. After the assembly, dazed sophomores were ushered to the cafeteria where they stood in seemingly endless lines to receive their schedules. Upperclassmen waited to escort the new Warriors to their classes. Although the guides were help- ful. the signs leading to the pool and stairs caused more consternation.

Sophomores started the year off with a bang and kept on going. After electing class officers and raising enough money the sophomores started building the float. Every day after school and at night, diligent students worked on the float and the theme Yankee Doodle Warrior. October 7 — the night of the bonfire and Volkswagen races at Gosnold ' s Hope Park. The tenth graders came in a close second to the seniors for the car race. However, excitement reached a feverish pitch when the sophomores won the coveted Spirit Jug at the pep rally. At last the parade began, leaving the Hampton City Police station, it con- tinued through the winding streets of old Hampton and concluded in front of Darling stadium. At halftime the winners of the float competition were announced, the attendants and queen were presented and the band performed for the spectators.

These meetings, although not attended by many, proved very necessary; as a result, sopho- mores elected class officers, built their homecoming float, and raised money for the Co-Rec Dance. June Peters, sophomore class presi- dent, took control of the meetings, which sometimes grew too lively Mrs. Harriet Taylor or Mrs. Kathy Boucher, class ad- visors, also kept a watchful eye on the tenth graders.

Exposing their bodies to those brilliant solar rays, 10th graders flocked to the seashores in hopes of ac- quiring rich golden tans. As well as lazing around. ' 79-ers participated in various water sports. Waterskiing was encountered in such areas as Jamestown and up the Chickahominy River. Surfing, which experienced a rapid growth in popu- larity along the east coast in recent years, was seen at the beaches of Nags Head, Cape Hatteras, and Virginia Beach. Sail-fishes and Hobie Cats navigated off Ft. Monroe and up Back River. Cries of Ready about hardily and Jib Ho filled the summer air. These sports and more occupied the Class of ' 79 ' s vacation, and even though it seemed an endless summer the autumn leaves soon fell and high school life began.

The Class of 79 shocked the school with a variety of costumes ranging from well known personalities to the bobby socks and T-shirts of the 50 ' s. Unfortunately, participation by the class was limited to a few, mainly because lack of publi- city prevented the news of Spirit Week from spreading. ' 79-ers made the scene dressed for masquerade day, hat day, and the swinging days of the 60 ' s.

Dedicated sophomores ask for refills as they work diligently cleaning cars Following the election of class officers, the tenth graders frantically attempted to raise much-needed funds. Without a cent to their names, the sopho- mores desperately needed to acquire — someway, somehow — at least $ 1 00 to build a homecoming float. As always, the first project was collecting dues. Anyone passing by the bookstore during lunch spotted spirited ' 79-ers imploring their classmates to pay their $1 .50. By the beginning of October, an amazing $280 had been amassed. Next on the Class of ' 79 ' s money- making agenda was a carwash. Held late in September, the project offered the sophomores an opportunity both to raise money and have a lot of fun. The stu- dents walked away covered with soap and water — and $ 1 20 richer. After an unsuccessful booth at the SCA-ICC Carnival, the ’79-ers recouped their losses with a profitable doughnut sale. The money earned through this endeavor went toward footing the bill of the Co-Rec Activity held in the late Spring.

Fired up, the sophomores decided the second pep rally had to be theirs Class meetings were often the place for battle plans, and the ' 79ers discovered they could only accomplish their goal through creativity and team effort.

For most sophomores, a typical day began with roaming the halls or finishing up h omework in a quiet corner of the library before the tardy bell rang. Like all the other Warriors, the tenth graders found it difficult to keep their eyelids from drooping in first period By third period, the day had grown more promising with the anticipation of lunch. However, lunch was not just a time for eating. When the weather was warm, sophomores could be found throwing a frisbee or playing a game of touch foot- ball. For the less athletic-minded, the annex served as a site for the completion of unfinished homework or just talk. After lunch, ' 79 ' ers moved on to their next classes. Offered a wide variety of course selections, the underclassmen were commonly found in biology classes or fulfilling their P.E. requirements. Math for these Warriors ranged from Algebra to Geometry and Computer Math. Library fines, tardies and unexcused absences proved to be troublesome at times, but most students learned early that it paid to be in class every day and on time.

Movable parts of the drummer and fifer enabled the Juniors to display their advanced construction ability. Set basically in patriotic colors of red, white and blue, the float excelled itself, emphasizing ' 78 spirit with Juniors Nancy Doyle, Julie Seals, and Dan Pizzuto marching in front of the float while playing Yankee Doodle Went to Town.

As the sub- ject of money came up. the Junior Class directed its attention to developing projects to raise funds for the Junior Ring Dance. Even before the start of school the industrious Class of ' 78 contributed to their treasury by holding a car wash. The tremendous job of collecting class dues came next, with volunteers working in the bookstore before school and during both lunches, coaxing the five dollar fee from reluctant juniors. Participating in the ICC Carnival, the Junior Class found money rolling in through the nickel slide. And, of course. 78-ers relied on the old, all- time favorite doughnut sales at the Newport News Shipyard. New additions to the Junior Class fund-raising activities included the sale of mums for basketball homecoming and the collection of newspapers and aluminum cans for recycling. Highly successful, the mum project raked in more money than the previous senior sale of mums for football homecoming. Through the efforts of many hard- working juniors, the Class of ' 78 enjoyed a profitable year of fund-raising.

Every Thursday, more than forty loyal Juniors met to discuss issues significant to their future One such topic was the argument of homecom- ing roses versus homecoming mums. The mums proved to be a profitable choice as the sale of mums netted the Junior Class a profit of $1 50. Concentrated efforts of committees and their chairmen produced first-rate pep rally performances, fund raising pro- jects, homecoming activities and the Ring Dance.

Though it may sound like nightmares of a Nazi con- centration camp, the real scene of this feverish excitement was the bleachers near the boys ' locker room — officially named Junior Territory. On three se- parate occasions, the Class of ' 78 worked itself up to a frenzied pitch, only to find to its chagrin that it had been a- warded a mere 2nd place. While the juniors were obviously disappointed after each defeat, they seemed only more determined to capture the Spirit Jug the next time. Posters, flash cards, balloons, and ticker tapes were gathered and carried down to the gym before each pep rally, but to no avail. The Class of ' 78 was victimized by the seniors, sophomores, and seniors, consecutively; each time a small margin of points separated the winners and the juniors — the perennial middlemen. Indeed, the juniors were constantly frustrated in their efforts to earn 1st place. However, while the Class of ' 78 was number 2, one must remember that number 2 tries harder — and the ' 78-ers will have one more opportunity to show their worth — as Kecoughtan ' s mightiest senior class ever.

As midnight approached, the tired but happy couples danced to the last song, I Like Dreaming, the theme song for this momentous occasion. The Parisian Dream was finis.

Due to this facility for work, ' 78- ers encountered little difficulty landing jobs throughout the Hampton area Though education through experience and some- thing to fill up spare time were offer- ed as reasons, money was the overwhelm- employment. Few juniors despaired over reports that the job market for teen-agers was flooded Instead, the Warriors went out and looked, confident that purpose and persistence would eventually result in employment; and. more often than not. the result was work. The Warriors could be seen cooking McDonald ' s hamburgers, ven- ding Busch Garden ' s ice creams, or busing NCO club ' s dirty dishes. Where others might have complained about bad hours and rotten conditions, most juniors kept a stiff upper lip. The presence of green- backs in their wallets outweighed per- sonal dislikes By their entrance into the business world, juniors reached a turning point in their lives. Though, only time would tell their amount of success, the students ' ability had already been well-proved.

Where else but the junior class picnic! Held in June, the picnic served to reward members of the Class of ' 78 for a year of hard work, as well as to celebrate the end of school. Laden with food, drinks, volleyballs, and badminton racquets, juniors met at Gosnold ' s Hope Park ready for an active and relaxing afternoon. The more daring immediately set out to find excitement in tne form of an unorthodox volleyball game or a race down a hill, while the less adventurous retired to the shade of the pavilion. Then, as the sun began to set, weary juniors reloaded coolers and volleyballs into their cars as they prepared to drag their tired bodies home. It was at the same time the end and the beginning of an era. for the next time they met, it would be as the senior class.

The juniors saluted themselves by closing the year with a car wash followed by a picnic at Gosnold ' s Hope Park. Reflecting on the past year, the Class of 78 was proud to have accomplish- ed so much — winning the Homecoming float competition for the second consec- utive year; carrying out successful fund- raising projects; sponsoring two of the four- teen delegates to Girls ' and Boys ' State; breaking the Homecoming mums sales re- cord; and, achieving a dream world by transforming the annex into ' ' Paris at Night for the traditional Junior Ring Dance.

Jeff Stillwell thoroughly examines the voting booth while Sonja Mardod waits impatiently for him to figure its workings Steve’s Harem Of all of Kecoughtan ' s classes, it can be said the the seniors were, indeed, the busiest. Beginning their activities in the summer before their final year, the group, under the leadership of president Steve Alford, organized approximately fifteen major events which ranged from early morning donut sales at the shipyard to a highly successful Miss KHS Pageant. Of primary concern to the upper- classmen was the design and construction of a float for the Football Homecoming Parade. Working constantly for several weeks, the seniors built a float which was, by far, the most artistic of any entered in the parade. Earning the Spirit Jug in the Lafayette and Denbigh pep rally competi- tions and, for the third year in a row, soundly defeating their opponents in the Volkswagen races, proved them to be a class that knew how to win. The success of the Class of ' 77 was not limited solely to competition, as the seniors demonstrated in their pro- fitable fund rising projects. Included in these money-making ventures were a pool party which netted the class $200 and a raffle which earned the industrious seniors $1300 to help in funding the Prom. Other highlights included a most successful Miss KHS Pageant with a total of fourteen entrants competing in the event. In addition, both Class Night and the Senior Hall of Fame proved to be very enjoyable for the audience and participants. One of the final events of the year, the Senior Prom, was held at the Fort Monroe Officer ' s Club. The Class of 77 danced to the music of Just Us, and, as the dance ended, seniors thought back on their stay at KHS, and especially their last year which was their most active and enjoyable. Culminating the year. Baccalaureate and graduation brought seniors to their long awaited moment although not without a bit of reluctance and reminiscence.

I can ' t believe it, whispers an ecstatic Mardy South to her escort, Travis Slocumb, after being crowned Homecoming Queen. Homecoming highlighted the ' 76-’77 football season, and Seniors worked dili- gently to make the event a tremendous success. They produced, with ardent efforts, a vibrant float displaying the spirited slogan, Yankee Doodle Warriors Clean-up the Patriots. Three subslogans were emblazoned on towering boxes re- sembling popular leading detergents. Lux With Us, The Tide Has Changed, and KHS Will Do It A-Gain, conveyed Warrior sentiment exactly. White balloons re- sembling soap suds surrounded the boxes and symbolized Senior Spirit. For a float of such style, the jolting Honorable Mention Award was hardly appropriate. Adding further disappointment to the evening, the football team ' s attempt to massacre the opposing Denbigh Patriots was checked and reversed as the score- board tallied a 35-0 defeat for the Warriors. The only excitement remain- ing for the Warriors came as the Senior attendants, Mardy South escorted by Travis Slocumb, Mary Huntley and Patty Weih escorted by their fathers came onto the field during half-time. Mardy South was crowned the new foot- ball Homecoming Queen. Even though the outcome of the float competition and the game dampened some spirits.

Displaying sample graduation announcements, senior Lynn Reding assists class president Steve Alford. As the dismissal bell rang and the halls emptied, some seniors slowly filed into B-3 for a class meeting. These 77 ' ers waited — then the meeting was called to order as the last few seniors straggled into the room. Vice-president Jeannie Godwin pre- sided over the first four meetings for President Steve Alford who was involved in football practice. However, at the fifth meeting, Steve, his leg encased in a plaster cast, hobbled in and from then on ran the meetings. Even though attendance averaged 36-40 people from a graduating class of 498, the few who attended discussed items of importance enthusiastically and intelligently. Meetings involved topics of fund raising, such as a raffle, donut sales, and a senior class play. Other agenda items in- cluded ski trips, senioritis, grad- uation announcements, college ac- ceptances, and the Spring Prom. With the help of zealous per- sonalities and seniors who were optimistic for a successful school year, a spirit of togetherness was generated throughout the meetings.

All this homework over senior skip weekend?” exclaims Richard Frye while thumbing through his trig- onometry book. SENIORITIS stuck on the first day of school, August 26th A common pheno menon occurring in senior classes every- where, the “I don ' t care attitude grew worse as the year progressed, especially when the warm weather arrived. Com- pounding senioritis with spring fever, the contagion spread like wild-fire while no preventive measures could be prescribed. College acceptances, the prom, beach parties, skip weekend, and graduation were among the various causes of the disease. Some victims resorted to Fris- bee throwing during lunch, sun bathing (for those who only had three or four classes), and perfecting quick, snore- less naps, while all revealed a reluct- ance to attend class An acute sensitivity to teachers, homework, and books also resulted be- cause of this bug; those who were in- flicted were virtually helpless. Teachers tried without success to use home remedies such as threats of physical punishment and mental torture in the form of extra homework, pop quizzes and 50 essay-question tests. All attempts to combat senioritis were fruitless, until, however, the miracle- cure, graduation, arrived.

Was it fate? Or was it the interviewer who liked you from the moment you walked in the door? Sud- denly, as if by a miracle some very lucky seniors were able to acquire jobs. After many hard, frustrating hours of search- ing and applying for work, to be one of the chosen few was an accomplishment. However, after the school-work-play routine was established, the reality and responsibilities of having a job clouded the glorious illusion of working. With this new job, the drudgery of housework that seemed to have been left behind subtly reappeared. All those jobs done at Mother ' s beck and call suddenly in- vaded the world that once offered prestige. Now the job entailed emptying hundreds of trash cans at a fast food place until the senior employee felt like a piece of trash himself. Perhaps the menial chore was stacking rows and rows of toilet paper for at least an hour on wobbly shelves only to have them come tumbling down when the task was The cash register ' s ching-ching jokes amuse Mary Butler as the end of another Chick-fil-A work day finall Y finished The only saving grace approaches of being a working senior was a healthy paycheck at the end of the week.

From the first 4x 1 0 foot flatbed, and countless two-by-fours (now where did they come from?) to the last helium balloon, seniors worked dili- gently to create their masterpiece. Taking time out for brownies and lemonade, a spin in the morgan past the junior and sophomore floats, or a few laughs over munchkin helium voices, all seniors who participated in the construction of the senior float experienced a most worthwhile and memorable month.

To find the answer to this baffling question, Hampton students, among them Warriors, examined the Annual College Night Pro- gram at Phoebus High School, held November 10. Those students choosing to enter institutions of higher learning were able to gather information and other literature concerning everything from the military academies to local community colleges. Juniors, as well as seniors, took advantage of the events to get an early start in selecting their colleges. As they viewed the variety of possible en- deavors in higher learning, each realized there was indeed life after high school.

Frantically seniors searched for their books of tickets which they had not seen since the day they signed for them. From lockers to purses and even jean pockets, the search went on. When the tickets were finally found, the next trauma began — trying to sell them. Fellow underclassmen were bombarded with those “little green tickets throughout March 25th as seniors attempted to make last minute sales. Some went as far as making deals with junior class members who were selling candy bars to promote their Ring Dance. Yet, many sales pitches failed and seniors ended up being their own best customers as they bought their own tickets Regardless of how many of their own tickets seniors purchased, fate won out and the recipient of the prize was soccer coach, Mr. Donald Lindsay. The drawing took place on April 1 , (all seniors thought they were being fooled after their extensive purchases) when the $500 00 was finally raffled off.

Lisa Cipriano glances at her corsage while her date Scott Rees assures her of its replacement. It came upon a midnight clear — the Senior Prom of 1 977. The setting was the Fort Monroe Officer ' s Club which served as a lovely outdoor setting for moon-lit beach walks or strolls along the garden pathways. The Casemate and Chesapeake Rooms were reserved for the elegantly clad seniors to dan ce and eat of the many scrumptious foods prepared by the club. After eating dinner at one of the more extravagant restaurants, couples began arriving at the club to see a long line of people waiting to get their pictures taken. As they entered the rooms, they witnessed the crowded dance floor and buffet table of food. Just Us was the band, and senior Jimmy Caldwell sang the Senior Class theme song, Precious and Few. Around midnight, the prom court was announced and Chris Duck and Freddie Corbin were crowned Queen and King. The dance con- tinued until 1:00 a m., then the weary couples drove off in their borrowed Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles to finish off the evening with a bang.

With Senior Skip Day on Friday, May 27 and Memorial Day on Monday, the tra- ditional four-day skip weekend was under- way. Surfing, hang-gliding, skiing, swimming, sunning and just plain relaxing, were on the agenda of the privileged seniors. Enjoying good times with friends and the break from school, every one found his own special way of taking advantage of the free day and the long weekend. Too soon, though, seniors faced the realization of coming home, only to anticipate graduation, two weeks away. “What ' s next?

Confusion dominated pre-graduation activities. Beginning Friday morning at 9:00 a.m., seniors managed to direct their still sleeping bodies to the Coliseum for practice. High attendance, due mostly to the threat of not graduating, was also linked to quick phone calls to absent- minded seniors or those overwhelmed by the pr evious night ' s (morning ' s) gradu- ation party. Arriving an hour early for the actual commencement exercises, seniors had extra time to worry about tripping on stage, practice their line-up, and secure their caps. Once the first notes of Pomp and Circumstance sounded, the graduates filed into the hall, struggling to step in tempo to the music as Mr. Fred Pender- graft had ordered. Nervously awaiting their moment to cross the stage (remember- stop on the-silver tape!), seniors tried not to fidget in their chairs. Impatient for the Recessional, the graduates, officially marked by the tassel on the left, bowed their heads through the benediction. Following the teachers, the Class of ' ll once again formed a double file, this time leaving the auditorium. Forgetting the repeated reminder not to congregate in the wings before all the seniors had filed out, the recent graduates shook hands or hugged their friends, snapped last-minute photos of high school buddies and received the embraces of proud parents and relatives. Slowly making their way out the doors of the Coliseum, the Class of ’ll moved on to parties, celebrations and the future.

Tomahawk Credits -1977 For the third year in a row, Delmar Printing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, printed the Tomahawk, this year ' s edition incorporating offset litho- graphy as in previous editions. Mr. Jim Saine, representative of the company handled all arrangements between the plant and th Tomahawk staff. The silk-screened cover was designed cooperatively by Mr. Saine, Elisa Devor- shak, and Allison Bowers. Staff photo- graphers shot and printed the Kodalith pictures. The type in the 1 977 edition was again Univers Bold with 10 pt. body copy and 8 pt captions, each with 2 point leading Tomahawk staffers devoted long hours to producing a complete annual which covered all events from summer vacation to graduation. Thanks must be given to several persons for their help in finish- ing the book. Mr. Jim Saine, Mr. Bill Eckard. and Mr. Randy Jackson handled senior portraits and underclass photos Mr. Saine also shot large group photographs and color pictures. Mrs. Nancy Shrout must be credited with typing copy for scoreboxes, senior statistics and the index. A special thanks must go to prin- cipal Harry B Dyche. Jr. for his gener- osity, sense of humor, and concern. Mrs. Sophia P Romano, Tomahawk adviser, deserves special recognition, as without her unfailing encouragement, the Tomahawk would never be completed. Also the parents of staff members are to be thanked for permitting their child- ren to stay after school so often in or- der to meet deadlines. Lastly, a sincere thanks goes to all the Tomahawk staffers who genuinely con- tributed to the production of such a large annual, and endured the long tiring hours of work for nothing more than a piece of pepperoni pizza! Everyone in the world wants an annual!

Framework for Freedom The same support that a piece of cloth yields to each thread is the support that lends these threads their ability to stretch and give. So it was with the Warriors of Kecoughtan; a fundamental curriculum provided the framework upon which students were able to build their freedom with their own responsibility and maturity. A suitable school atmosphere enabled individuals to take advantage of all the myriad possibilities, from free- dom of expression in the classroom, or through organizational and club activities, to assuming vocational training, which re- leased one from the obvious limits of school, into the job environment. The freedom that the Warrior was able to obtain, however, came only with the necessary motivation and spirit, and re- mained only when he faced greater trials of responsibility, just as the threads of a cloth only retained their strength through constant testing.

Warriors had a way of seeking out special moments, whether they were sports championship contests, formal dances, or class oriented activities. After attending athletic events, students placed top priorities on their class and related affairs. Traditional Homecoming festivities proved as popular as ever, as were the Spirit Jug competi- tions and pep rallies. Spring, as usual, brought an over- flow of special happenings, concerning graduation and the end of the year. Even if one did not happen to be a senior, the Warrior was always able to seek out those special moments which made his high school years so memorable. A sprinkle a day . . .

Every stu- dent. whether he realized it or not. added part of his own style and character to this quilt to form a diverse creation in cooperation with every other Warrior. Now. as the school year came to a close. Warriors who had entered Kecoughtan in a group, left as individuals, each carrying with him all the lessons of life they had learned during three years at KHS. Whe- ther they were leaving for good, or merely for the summer. Warriors retreated from the reservation with memories in their minds of what they had woven into Ke- coughtan ' s personality quilt for 1 976-1977 In oblivious jubilance, proud juniors proclaim their class loyalty at the Denbigh pep rally.
