Passing the sign marked Admin¬ istration Parking Only, teachers greet each other cordially. With arms full of mimeographed tests, class plans, and grade books, the teachers are prepared for their day ' s work. Glancing towards the familiar edifice, administrators stride confidentaly to their offices. Holding tightly onto student files and scholarship information, guidance counselors stroll towards days filled with student consultations and schedule changes. Traveling to typewriters and memos, secretaries plan ahead to make the school administration run as smoothly as possible. Clutching absentee lists, the two deans continue on their way to piles of doctor excuses, parental notes con¬ cerning pre-arranged trips, and requests for early dismissals. In another section of the parking lot, the librarian and her assistants direct their paths towards the school ' s primary source of information. Carrying an identi¬ fying collection of financial statements, the bookkeeper heads for her post be¬ hind the cash Register and adding ma¬ chine. Dressed in her immaculate white uniform, the nurse paces off the distance to the sanctuary of comfort and relief that she provides for the students. Finally, guiding themselves to various portions of the school, the janitors tread steadily towards their essential jobs of maintenance and repair while the cafete¬ ria staff aim their steps towards the huge school kitchen.

These dedicated men devoted their time and abilities to helping the students in many ways. Assistant principal Mr. Walter T. Jones secured substitute teachers. Also included in his duties were maintenance of the building and supervision of custodians. When students had problems” with their lockers, they went to Mr. Jones. Organi¬ zation of assembly programs, athletics, and extra-curricular activities comprised the job of Mr. Larry Waddell. In charge of the master schedule and observation of the class room instruction wa s Mr. Robert Croft, who spent many hours on the diffi¬ cult job of arranging teachers ' and stu¬ dents ' schedules so that each could have a viable learning experience. These three men brought their unique skills and willingness to help and encour¬ age the students in all areas of school life. Smiling as his mind drifts off into the Wild blue yonder, Mr. Robert Croft recalls the previous day ' s flying lesson. 10-FACULTY While Mrs. Beatrice Grimmer checks the agenda for a faculty meeting, Mr. Dyche looks over his appoint¬ ment calendar. Mirror images? Mr. Larry Waddell, Mr. Dyche, and Coach Ben Rich strike similar poses at the Fall ICC Festival. Harboring a rare talent in the main of¬ fice, Kecoughtan was blessed with a true leader. He was a man who had served in the capacity of head administrator of Kecoughtan High School since 1969. This man ' s passions included much more than faculty meetings, student-teacher relation¬ ships, and school budget papers. He was also a gourmet Chinese cook, an avid golfer, and an enthusiastic stamp collec¬ tor. Wait, there was more! This admirable human being was also a creative needle¬ work artist. As you may have guessed, this multi-talented man was none other than Mr. Harry B. Dyche. Known as a dedicated educator for the past 27 years, Mr. Dyche still found time to be involved in community activities. As well as serving as a teacher of English and social studies, he became principal of the Copeland Park and Bethel elementary schools; later he served as principal at Buckroe, Syms, and Thorpe junior high schools. All of these jobs he handled with a wit and compassion rarely found among those who deal with young people daily. His desire to guide and help his fellow man was not restricted to the eight-hour school day. In the past, Mr. Dyche served as a Hampton City councilman and vice¬ mayor. He has remained an involved citi¬ zen of Hampton, urging students to be¬ come interested and involved in government. Much to the dismay of the Kecoughtan community, this was the last year in which Mr. Dyche would lend his guiding hand to the school ' s operations. Snapping his fingers in time to the music, Mr. Harry B Dyche performs for an enthusiastic audience. GUIDANCE TREK A fearsome din rose in the still, sensitive sophomore as he proceeded on his first journey to that legendary region —that final frontier of Kecoughtan High School called ... the Guidance Depart¬ ment! Rounding the corner into Corridor 3, the student apprehensively opened the door, marveling at his own courage. Once inside, he found his surroundings to be quite the opposite of what he had ex¬ pected. He looked in amazement, not be¬ lieving what his eyes told him. Instead of Klingons hiding in dark corners, as he had imagined, there were nice earthly people who actually seemed helpful! Our brave sophomore ' s eyes wandered more confidently about the small cubicle until they saw a panel of multi-colored name cards pasted on the wall. He supposed that the counselors were divided into color-coded battle groups: Mr. Arnold Ritt and Mrs. Minnie Bembry were the green task force; Mrs. Alma Luck and Mrs. Jane Price made up the powerful orange task force; and Mr. Harold Parrish and Mr. Sidney Williams composed the red force. To the sophomore, they looked like an enterprising crew. The experience was too much for the sophomore, and over¬ whelmed by it all, he fainted. Little did he know that he would soon discover the nurse ' s office! A CLEAN DESK IS Keeping his desk consistent with his wall poster, Mr. Arnold Ritt proves that he has a healthy mind. I ' ll give you all my sophomores for a senior, bargains Mr Harold Parrish. On the edge of her chair with suspense, Mrs. Jane Price listens intently to a student ' s schedule problem 12-FACULTY Lining up job positions to fit students Mrs. Alma Luck grits her teeth in silent deter¬ mination. Trying to kindle some interest in his schedule, Mrs. Minnie Bembry directs her attention to the closed eyes of one of her students. FACULTY-13 PREAMBLE We, the librarians of Kecoughtan High School, in order to form a more perfect library, establish rules, insure educational tranquility, provide a book detector for the common defense, promote the gen¬ eral welfare of the students, and secure the payments of overdue books to our¬ selves and to our future readers, do or¬ dain and establish this policy for the good of the Kecoughtan Library. ARTICLE I - RULING DEPARTMENT All ruling powers herein granted shall be vested in the librarians of Kecoughtan, which shall consist of a Head Librarian and aides. Ms. Nancy Spain, Head Librarian, and Ms. Mary Owen, Assistant Librarian, gov¬ erned the library with the help of Mrs. jean Owen, Mrs. Betty Bishop, and eight student aides. ARTICLE II-DUTIES OF LIBRARIANS Duties of a librarian shall be to provide helpful material, and to assist students in locating resources. Ms. Spain ' s numerous responsibilities included requisitioning sup¬ plies, ordering books, preparing annual re¬ ports, circulating pertinent material, and supervising the Library Club. In the Audi- Visual Center, Ms. Owen checked equip¬ ment, catalogued tapes, microfilm, film¬ strips, records, etc. ARTICLE III-LIBRARIAN STUDENT RELATIONS Full faith and credit will be given to the students and the librarian may, by general rules, prescribe the manner by which the students ' behavior is controlled. Due to a loss of books, the library in¬ stalled an electric book detector which cut down on the number of references and books removed from the library. A fine of three cents a day was charged for overdue books, and three cents per class period for overdue encyclopedias. Money collected from the fines went into the li¬ brary fund and was used to purchase books, records, and magazines. Without the help of the librarians, stu¬ dents would have been bogged down by checking out unnecessary books, search¬ ing the library for the biography section, and looking under quack for informa¬ tion on ducks. Third shelf on that first row, dear. Ms. Spain helps Linda Scheltens learn the intricacies of library use. Library clerks, Mrs. lean Owen and Mrs. Arline Bishop share a trade joke with head librarian Ms. Nancy Spain while aide Stephanie Shaffer fails to see the humor. 14-FACULTY UNSUNG HEROINES As the principal ' s secretary, Mrs. Beatrice Grimmer arranges Mr. Harry B. Dyche ' s busy schedule. Handing his money to guidance secretary Mrs. Gladys Hardrath for a college transcript, lames Ramberger says a silent prayer of appreciation. The adage that behind every great man there is a great woman was definitely true at KHS. Mrs. Beatrice Grimmer was the unsung heroine working behind the scenes for Principal Harry B. Dyche. Act¬ ing as a girl Friday, she efficiently com¬ pleted jobs that ranged from preparing memos for teachers to writing reports for HEW. Mrs. Grimmer described her job as a little bit of everything. According to Mrs. Gladys Hardrath, be¬ ing the secretary receptionist to six coun¬ selors was a full-time, yet rewarding job. Answering the telephone, registering new students, and working with student tran¬ scripts were some of the many duties she performed daily. Contributing greatly to the smooth run¬ ning of the office was the front desk sec¬ retary, Mrs. Betsy Storey. Her duties were varied, among them keeping the office payroll and organizing student aides. Her clerical versatility enabled her to perform such other duties when necessary. With each performing her own tasks cheerfully and efficiently, the secretaries provided the backbone upon which ad¬ ministrators, teachers, and students relied for the smooth organization of all school- related activities. Assisting a student in decoding a class schedule, Mrs. Betsy Storey concentrates on the wording. I I FACULTY-15 ALL IN TWO Kecoughtan ' s Dean of Boys and Girls offices were a bustle of activity through¬ out the day, but especially during the morning hours. Students crowded the doors waiting for absentee or tardy notes to be written or to discuss personal mat¬ ters. Many important aspects concerning the well-being of all students were han¬ dled through these offices as well as accu¬ rate attendance records required by the state. Although discipline originated in the classroom, disciplinary problems ultimately fell into the hands of Mrs. Shirley Booth, Dean of Girls or Mr. Ben Rich, Dean of Boys. A large part of their job consisted of crisis counseling, problems arising sud¬ denly. Mrs. Booth was responsible for setting up tutors for all homebound or hospital¬ ized students. She also worked with young married couples and young moth¬ ers. Both Mrs. Booth and Mr. Rich were vi¬ tal to the efficient operation of the school. You weren ' t here yesterday because of Elizabeth Lake Shark Patrol duty . . . right! replies Mr. Ben Rich to an incredulous student. ivvtvo Elated over receiving all the assignments for a homebound student, Mrs. Shirley Booth prepares them for the homebound instructor. After a frustrating day Mr. Rich looks forward to watching the upcoming Steeler-Redskin game. 16-FACULTY MONEY MATTERS What was bigger than a bread box and held everything from Certs to poster board? The Kecoughtan bookstore, of course! Before school and between classes, stu¬ dents rushed to the bookstore to buy pa¬ per, pencils, pens, erasers, china mugs, hats and candy. When Mrs. Alese Evans, bookkeeper and manager of the bookstore, was not busy with the selling of items, she also had the added task of keeping club bookwork organized. Helping to make business flow more smoothly, student aides assisted Mrs. Ev¬ ans by stocking items, selling merchandise, and providing change for the drink and snack machines. The bookstore was an integral part of the lives of students and teachers, who dashed in and out of the bookstore all day. or Make sure you get the money first, mutters Ben Copeland to dering the package of paper to Karen Newsome.

FACULTY-17 Heaving a sigh of relief, Pete Roehrle smiles at finding her blood pressure to be normal. ‘FIRST’ TO ‘AID’ School nurse, Mrs. Myra Hastings, has been an important part of the Kecoughtan staff for fourteen years. Among the many services she performed for students were testing their eyes and weighing them at the beginning of the school year. Always prepared for emer¬ gencies, Mrs. Hastings kept a file on every student ' s medical history. Much of her time was spent dispensing first aid for cuts, bruises, and minor illnesses. She also worked with the Dean of Girls, Mrs. Shir¬ ley Booth, to provide a rest area for stu¬ dents returning to school after long illnesses. In addition to helping students with medical problems, she found time to help with personal problems. Among her hobbies were golf which she played often with her husband, sing¬ ing, and cooking gourmet delights. During her years at Kecoughtan, Mrs. Hastings proved herself to be a friend as well as nurse to the student body. Proving the statement posted behind her, Mrs. Myra Hastings efficiently dispenses with one of her varied responsibilities. 18-FACULTY Changing faces characterized the annu¬ al staff as editors, copy editors, and staff¬ ers graduated in June to broader hori¬ zons-year after year after year. Yet one solitary figure stood stfong against the barrage of colege plans, job opportuni¬ ties, military transfers, ahid summer vaca¬ tions. Holding the staff together for days and sometimes weeks after the final school be! sounded, sponsor Mrs. Sophia Romano coordinated meetings and photo sessions in a supreme effort to finish an¬ other yearbook successfully. After almost a decade of service to the school as a yearbook sponsor, Mrs. Romano was a veteran to be admired. __ At this point in the book ' s production, the months of work during the school year and the pile of typed copy and cap¬ tions that had been completed, were visi¬ ble only to the hidden eye of memory. The early awkwardness of getting to know the abilities of each staff member was almost forgotten as the atmosphere of teamwork pervaded every nook and cranny in Room D-4 Smoothing the wrin¬ kles and creases of controversies over headlines, meeting dates, and page num¬ bers, Mrs. Sophia Romano kept the Tomahawk machine well-oiled and run¬ ning efficiently. i Unplugging the lighttboard and the worn-out typewriter for the last time, somehow Mrs. Romano ' s energy was not quite exhausted. Rather than making the plans for next year ' s senior portraits, as she had so often done before, this time she simply smiled and offered tired staff¬ ers a last ride home. [Sound of car engines . . . clamor of students . . . bell sounds . . . curtain rises.] Heading towards the brick and glass school building, students file past the marque and step onto the sidewalks cir¬ cumventing the school. Passing the green lawns and the scattered trees, they con¬ verge on the building ' s blue doors. Other students walk across the football field and past the tennis courts, while the last of the students traverse the administration parking lot. Finally passing the flagpoles designating the front of the school, the students enter the halls and join the stream flowing down the straight corri¬ dors towards various classes and activi¬ ties. Striding by rows of lockers lining the halls, the students head for the office, the library, or the bookstore before directing their steps towards the first classes of the day. Light reflects from windows placed high above the lockers while colored con¬ struction paper and typed notices block out possible distractions otherwise visible through the rectangular glass panes in the doors. Bright posters taped on the white tiles and cream bricks of the walls call at¬ tention to upcoming meetings and events. Amidst all this, the many sizes, voices, and personalities of the students decorate the school and give it a unique life and charm. [Footsteps in the halls ... slam of lockers ... ring of laughter... curtain falls.] Briefly glancing at his notes, Rob Brown speaks to his class with the form of a true orator.

Fair Day Fever, a contagious disease, hit Hampton again this year! The fever spread at an uncontrollable rate during the second weekend in September. Al¬ though the cause of the disease remained a mystery, medical examiners linked the fever to the Annual Hampton Fair Day. This event took place the same weekend that the fever became prevalent. The ex¬ aminers felt that the overabundance of entertainment available to the public be¬ came a strain on the mind, eventually overloading anxiety circuits and producing an atmosphere of mass hysteria. To date all attempts to find a perma¬ nent cure for this rampant epidemic have failed. But some steps to alleviate the symptoms of the disease have been found. Many victims discovered that braving the carnival rides at the Fair seemed to be an adequate antidote. Oth¬ ers determined the musical entertainment to be the perfect means of escape. Still others found the concession stands to be the only reliable means for anxiety relief. For those who had experienced Fair Day Fever in the past, there was no need for worry. The over-all consensus of the medical examiners was that this treacher¬ ous disease lasts no longer than twenty- four hours and totally vanishes by the end of Fair Day. Determined to prove that two ' s company and three ' s a crowd, two unwilling Kecoughtan students are flung against a third not too comfortable victim. What could possibly be better than spending a beautiful fall day relaxing on the soft, grass-covered ground and listening to the musical entertainment at the park on Hampton Fair Day? Wondering if the glare of the morning sun has affected the band leader ' s sense of direction, a bewil¬ dered, David Clark loyally follows Jimmy Murphy. 22-COMMUNITY Examining stacks of minutes from previous meetings, Mr. loseph Dismond organizes the items to be discussed by the School Board, concerned citizens, and students. Resting her chin on her palm, Mrs. Patricia Miller weighs the latest proposal before deciding her vote. Deciding many important issues for the Hampton City School System, the seven member school board met twice a month. Led by chairman Cecil Phillips, the minimum requirements for graduation of future classes were determined. The stan¬ dardized competency tests had been insti¬ tuted earlier and two additional credits would be necessary in math and science for the Class of 1984 to successfully com¬ plete high school. Further topics included a proposed expansion of the remedial program in order to assure education of each student to the utmost of his or her ability. Directing the activities of all the Hamp¬ ton schools was a big job, but the school board always gave their best for the stu¬ dents, the teachers, and the community. Explaining a new policy.

STANDARD BEARERS COMMUNITY-23 Political Recipe Take seventeen candidates, unlimited posters, three minute speeches, voter registration, and interested students. Mix well. Add campaign literature, city issues, and newspaper articles. Simmer for sever¬ al months. Yield: an exciting race for the four Hampton City Council seats. Representing the youth of Hampton, Kecoughtan student Ross Mugler was the youngest candidate making his bid for a place on the Council. The 1980 campaign centered around changes in the education system, the proposed highway plan, poor city road conditions, and the introduction of new industries into the Peninsula area. Supported by his fellow classmates, as well as youths all over the city, Ross was an example of involvement and govern¬ mental responsibility to seniors who would be voting for the first time. Bringing their ideas and opinions direct¬ ly to the student body, the candidates spoke during a special assembly at Kecoughtan and answered pertinent questions. Finally, a mock election was held on May 6, along with the city elec¬ tion. Win or lose, KHS students were learning to play the political game.

ACADEMICS-27 On the Blackboard Front This is radio WHOV, Warrior Tom¬ Tom. We have just received a report from our undercover agent, Chalky, as¬ signed to Kecoughtan High School. Dis¬ guised as a blackboard eraser, his job was to obtain information on English classes and teachers. Chalky found that a new system of English scheduling had replaced the quarter system. Students discovered that they were with the same teacher for a semester. What variety Chalky found! Advanced Placement for Seniors was back after a hiatus of several years. Taught by Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, students conducted in-depth analyses of various lit¬ erary works in preparation for the AP English exam. Continuing on his adventure, Chalky was impressed by ambitious KHS students studying famous works of Shakespeare with Mr. Victor Taylor and Mr. Mark Vandervort. Also observed was Mr. Gar¬ land Wesson, Department Chairman, in¬ stilling the idea?? of hubris in Classicism and Romanticism. In addition, classes fo¬ cused on vocabulary, writing skills, and grammar usage. After a ' dusty ' day, Chalky filed his re¬ port with the station. His final observation was that English classes and teachers worked hard to make the curriculum a viable one.” Staring in disbelief as a moose runs past her door, Mrs. Evelyn Oliver takes a pause in her daily work. “Listen, son. This is the proper way to spell your name. Mr. Garland Wesson comes to the aide of Chris Wyatt. 28-ACADEMICS Showing a Steve Martin facet of her personality, Mrs. Paula Butler chuckles at one of her own jokes.

After a busy day of instructing and guiding students through a maze of planes, triangles, and numbers, Mrs. Patricia Denton enthusias¬ tically walks through empty halls on her way to her car and home. After four weeks of teaching square roots, Mr. Erich Downing challenges his class to ex¬ plain a radical. 30-ACADEMICS WHAT A Figure! Do you realize how much math is used in the world today? I do because I am a number and without me, what is there to math? I am a very important figure and associate with everyone, rich and poor, young and old. Students and teachers at Kecoughtan were very dependent on me. For exam¬ ple, Mrs. Patricia Denton, teacher of ge¬ ometry and algebra, used me every day in finding the area of A ABC or slope (x,y). My importance to her in the leisure activi¬ ties of tennis and needle work was also evident: Love 15! and Stitch one, purl two. Students in Mr. john Quinn ' s math analysis class found me to be a good friend when they had difficult theorems to prove. Mrs. Mary Sue Roderick em¬ ployed me in trig, algebra, and in the lan¬ guage of BASIC, FORTRAN, and COBOL in computer math. I was also a help to Miss Zelma Lockley, an algebra teacher and faculty representative to the Hamp- ton Education Association. Head of the math department, Mr. Robert Cronau, de¬ scribed derivitives with me in calculus and identified cosine values. As I said before, as a number, I was the most important element in all the math classes. To the teachers and students of Kecoughtan, I was 1!

Mr. John Quinn ' s math students find a spoonful of humor helps the Trig go down. Writing another symphony for students on the blackboard, Miss Zelma Lockley imagines the sounds of pencil on paper as music to her ears. In a year when international crises struck the United States a devastating blow, the KHS social studies department managed to keep up with the changing world powers. Emphasis was placed on current events and students spent a large amount of time evaluating history in the making. Proposing and debating bills in a Sena¬ torial simulation, seniors in Mr. William Cawley ' s government classes received first-hand experience with the govern¬ mental processes. Mr. Revis Conrad and Mrs. Joyce Ellingsworth dealt mainly with the history and development of our present day government. Even though these classes were widely diversified, the same basic facts about U.S. governmental status were learned by each student. Presenting to juniors the history of the American Nation from the conquistadors to the astronauts, Mrs. Norma Seals and Mr. Joseph Hagy worked with their stu¬ dents to better their understanding of the American Way. Advanced Placement U.S. History and Amherst, taught by Mrs. Sarah Alligood and Mrs. Wanda Blelloch, respectively, were offered to juniors who wishes for a more challenging course of study. Two classes of World History, open to sophomores, were offered by Mr. James Hathaway as an interesting and stimulating elective. Yet in all the classes taught by the history and social studies department, there remained a constant recognition of the shifting sphere of American influence. “Oh no, not another paper on The Life and Times of Abe Lincoln ' ! ' ' exclaims a displeased Mrs. Norma Seals as she looks through her stu¬ dents ' assignments.

ACADEMICS-33 Science Matters From glycolysis to non-polar covalent bonding to thermodynamics —the truth of the matter must be told. As a free atom, I floated around from science class to science class and observed some very unusual things. In the biology classes of Mrs. Anne Tucker and Mrs. Adgeline Hill, I spied stu¬ dents fermenting an alcoholic beverage. I heard moans and groans from biology students due to their first experience with lab reports for Mr. Leonard Thomas. Drifting down F-hall, I observed tomor¬ row ' s chemists practicing their craft. In room 432 and 233, I beheld experiments being performed by the students, under the supervision of Mrs. Maggie Oliver and Mrs. Debra Mortimer. Creative students who delighted in lab explosions and broken test tubes prematurely aged the teachers of chemistry. Continuing on my journey, I discovered the principles of matter, heat, motion, and electricity through surveillance of Mr. Ros- coe Barber ' s physics classes. Gliding among his students, Mr. Barber professed many truths about science and its relation to current events. From my point of view, science ap¬ peared to be a worthwhile investigation into the universe.

Si Yo Oui Cerle Learning a foreign language was an en¬ lightening experience for many Warriors during the year. KHS offered a variety of foreign languages, including Spanish, Ger¬ man, French and Latin. Students who chose to study a foreign language found themselves engaged in a variety of inter¬ esting learning activities. Spanish, German and French were taught on five levels that gradually in¬ creased in difficulty. Levels one and two included primarily a study of basic gram¬ mar skills and an introduction to the cul¬ ture of the people speaking the language. In levels three, four, and five, students concentrated on improving conversational ability and gaining a detailed knowledge of the culture. Spanish was taught by Mrs. Carolyn Ancarrow and Mrs. Nan Jordan who had first hand knowledge of the lan¬ guage and culture as both had travelled throughout Spain. Mrs. Carleen Yates and Ms. Tyla Matteson taught French. In fact, every summer Ms. Matteson either stud¬ ied in France or was a leader of students who spent their summer in France. All of the Latin classes were handled by Mrs. Joyce Frazier. Latin classes were on three levels, each focusing on the development of reading rather than conversational skills. An unusual class offered at KHS was the Spanish Travel taught by Ms. Lisa Moore. Non-college bound students were given the opportunity to gain experience with basic conversation skills needed to function in a Spanish-speaking community. Foreign language students participated in a unique cultural experience. A tasting party challenged students to create foods from the particular culture they were studying. This proved to be an education¬ al and enjoyable experience for the stu¬ dents and teachers. Since a foreign language is required for entranc into most colleges, many students were engaged in a study of one of the four offered at KHS. Students obtained pleasure from these courses, as well as learning much about the culture and peo¬ ple of the areas in which the languages are spoken.

What do they have in common? These are words which suggest Health and Phys¬ ical Education. The department, head¬ ed by Coach Buddy Denton, offered Kecoughtan students a variety of classes which tested physical endurance, and stimulated mental ac¬ tivity. Several PE classes were modeled after spring and fall sports, such as football, basketball, soccer, and tennis. To make the course selection well- rounded such classes as bowling, volleyball, table tennis, and gymnastics were offered. Through instruction from well quali¬ fied teachers, students in health gained a greater knowledge of themselves. Students who enrolled in Mood Modifiers learned about drugs and their effects on the body. In Family Life, students learned about the re¬ sponsibilities of raising a family. An¬ other popular selection was Crisis. Ms. Nancy Hibbard wrote the course which included such topics as death and dying, sexual assault, and child abuse. Together with PE, the health courses challenged KHS students to im¬ prove their physical fitness as well as their mental and emotional awareness.

Students and teachers worked hard in Kecoughtan ' s diversity of business courses. Efficiency was the intangible concept that the students wrestled with in the backs of their minds as they tackled courses ranging from typing to advanced office education. Keeping order in this drive for maximum business efficiency was the head of the department, Mr. I.G. Warner. With the valuable assistance of five other teachers, the department was able to achieve its efficiency goal. Working to advance students beyond two finger pecking, Mrs. Nancy Shrout and Mrs. Peggy Becouvarakis handled both the Typewriting I and Clerk Typing I courses. Making shorthand look less like Arabic and taking the mystery out of commerce was Mrs. Judy McPherson who taught Steno I and Business Law. Uti¬ lizing her knowledge of both good and bad points of office work, Mrs. Linda Black conducted General Business and Personal Typing courses. The students were sure to put their money in the right place after Mr. Warner instructed them in Bookkeeping and Recordkeeping. With the finer points of shorthand and office administration, Mrs. Joyce Mitchell taught the advanced courses. Clerk Typing II, Steno II and Cooperative Office Educa¬ tion. All in all, the year was extremely suc¬ cessful, so much so that the old energy pitch could be changed to say, the fu¬ ture belongs to the efficient business stu¬ dents at KHS.

The musical appetites of tal¬ ented students were satisfied upon joining the band directed by Mr. Fred Pendergraft. Mrs. Lucille Sutterer and members of the mixed chorus, a ' capella, and ensemble spent many hours, along with the band, preparing feasts of de¬ lights. Those students, wishing to have their first taste of music, joined the begin¬ ning guitar, piano, string, and music the¬ ory classes. Other artists enjoyed courses offered through the Art Department. Elements and Principles of Design, Drawing, Crafts, and Ceramics were taught by Mrs. Cheryl Carter and Mrs. Linda Harrell.

As the summer pro¬ gressed, the students revelled in my heat and sunshine, searching for the perfect tan and sun-bleached hair. Over my summer days, students trav¬ elled to Busch Cardens and Kings Domin¬ ion for the various types of entertainment offered there.

These rallies gave students a break from the activities of their daily schedules. Steered by SCA president, Alfred Crews, Kecoughtan pep rallies were mo- rale-boosting experiences. Skits and cheers led by the Varsity and Junior Varsi¬ ty cheerleaders usually provided a humor¬ ous side-light and also served to augment Warrior spirit. High hopes, centered around the Spirit Jug, encouraged stu¬ dents to push for a class victory, while judges, composed of three or four teach¬ ers or faculty members, chose the win¬ ning class.

Other acts included pia¬ nist Heidi Myer, a duet by Lorene and Darlene Rohrbaugh, the band Sparkle , and a piano-flute duo by Frances Watt and Linda Hurt. Although designed primar¬ ily for entertainment, the show also served to help raise money for the Yearbook staff who sponsored the excit¬ ing extravaganza. place, Richard Moore and Frances Watt prove to be a vital part Displaying her manual dexterity on the keyboard, Heidi Myer performs Bumble-Boogie in her attempt to please the judges and audience. 68-SPECIAL EVENTS Taking a small break amid her seemingly impos¬ sible gymnastic stunts, Jeanette Weih looks out at the audience from under her hat brim. Performing a routine based on The Wiz, Anita Dixon dances up a storm, but is she good enough to scare crows ?

The 1980 Miss KHS Pageant had begun. Each contestant then modeled a casual outfit. Mr. L.P. Butler, a professional mas¬ ter of ceremonies, commentated through¬ out the modeling. Tension mounted as the program swiftly moved on to the an¬ nouncements of the finalists. Eight finalists were chosen on the basis of the prelimi¬ nary modeling and evening gowns, as well as a talent competition. After individually responding to a ques¬ tion, each finalist performed her talent for the audience. During the intermission which followed, the Hampton Arts and Humanities Jazz Band performed and Mr. L.P. Butler sang a medley of modern songs. All of the contestants then modeled their evening gowns. A hush fell over the audience in anticipation of the winners. As Mr. L.P. Butler began the final ceremo¬ ny, a beaming Janice Adams accepted the title of Miss Congeniality. Lisa Diffenderfer was then honored with the titles of Miss Academic and third runner-up, followed by Jeanette Weih as Miss Talent and sec¬ ond runner-up. As Ellen Taylor received her title of first runer-up, the remaining contestants held their breaths awaiting the name of the winner. When Kari Edwards ' name was announced as Miss KHS 1980, applause filled the auditorium while tears filled the stage. A feeling of good wishes pervaded the atmosphere and the curtain on a most successful pageant. Leaning over for that low chord, Kim Niernberger plays to bring some points in her direction for the final tally.

Taking a short break from the bustling crowd, Dave Schiefer and Lorene Rohrbaugh sit at a table to catch their breath. Starting out the evening with flowers and dinner, the Class of ' 80 was at a glit¬ tering best. Richly dressed in evening gowns and tuxedoes, the seniors shone in both face and figure. The golden evening had begun. Strolling under the twinkling stars, the seniors crossed the short distance from gleaming cars to the modern Hellenic Center. Adding more jewels to the evening ' s crown, co-chairpersons Lisa Diffenderfer and Tim O ' Connor had re¬ ceived the valuable assistance of fellow classmates to create an atmosphere of wealth and beauty. By the time the spark¬ ling couples arrived, the tables had been decorated with glistening ivy and glowing candles. Each new arrival was guided to the gilded splendor by senior class spon¬ sors, Mrs. Nancy Shrout and Mrs. Shirley Wingfield. The excellent music of Slapwater completed the luxuriance. Resting for a moment before the an¬ nouncement of the Prom King and Queen, the seniors refreshed themselves with pineapple punch and varied delica¬ cies. The air was weighted with tension and anticipation until the moment when Denise Price and Ronnie Gurganus re¬ ceived the honor and led their court and the other dancers in a slow dance. When the clock struck one, the first phase of the night was over. Continuing the search for more gems to add to their collections, many seniors headed for par¬ ties and breakfast. Returning home wearily, the fortunate members of the Class of 1980 assessed their new fortunes. Marking the end of the priceless night, each senior placed new treasures in their chests of memories. SPECIAL EVENTS-73 ' Ma.yfo ’ Infecting the seniors class with its first major symptoms of seniorities, Hall of Fame Assembly was held on May 22. It proved to be the beginning of an exciting Senior Skip Weekend. Certificates and gag gifts were presented to the most following mock-serious skits. Some of the more notable gifts awarded to the mosts” from Podunk High ' s select stu¬ dents were a rubber alligator for the Most Preppy,” a bag of confetti for the Most School spirited,” and a burned out light bulb for the most intellectual.

Trading places with teachers and ad¬ ministrators for a day, the Class of ' 80 took on a truly superior attitude. In¬ structing their peers in government, phys¬ ics, physiology, and English classes, many of these substitutes proved to be hard¬ er on the students than the teacher would have been. Pop quizzes and difficult as¬ signments were later scanned by the teachers for fairness before the final grades were recorded. Underclassmen who had looked forward to Senior Day as a short vacation were unpleasantly sur¬ prised. Discovering that trying to get specific facts and information across to a class¬ room full of students with varying inter¬ ests and attention spans was not as simple as it looked, the seniors were willing to return to their former status at the end of the day. After gathering materials such as slides, books, and photos, and composing notes and outlines for hours, only to find that they were finished and twenty min¬ utes remained in the class period, being a mere student didn ' t seem so bad after all. Discussing the day ' s events wearily, the seniors soon decided that Skip Weekend and Class Night were more to their tastes.

Complaaining about the incoming sophomores, juniors” Lisa Diffenderfer, Becky Sturk, and Bill Henderson express their dissatis¬ faction. Cheering at a pep rally,” ecstatic juniors” display a surprising amount of spirit. 76-SPECIAL EVENTS Foreshadowing the flood of tears that would be inevitable at graduation, the Class Night activities caused many varied emotions among the seniors. Historian Anne Yuengert traced the class progress from scared sophomores to confident ju¬ niors to swaggering seniors. Skits highlighted the account as the infamous pygmies waddled across the stage once more. The class poem, Time Is Ours,” was set to music and sung by Paige Mc¬ Kinley, who had also written the poem. The Wall” followed along with a short example of the way the Class of ' 80 had literally stuck together” as sophomores until life at KHS became familiar to them. Those bonds changed over the years, and newer and stronger ties of friendship and memories replaced them. The length of the Class Prophecy was broken by appreciative laughter, skits showing other aspects of life on the res¬ ervation,” and finally a humorous take-off on Mr. Rogers.” Learning from Mr. Rog¬ ers (Bill Henderson) that securing a fake I.D. would be a relatively easy task, the children” were content to play with a pet piranha and to destroy their dolls until they, too, could be high school seniors. After the prophecy was completed, Mr. Harry B. Dyche, the principal, award¬ ed Jefferson Cups to Highest Honors graduates and certificates to those mem¬ bers of the Class of ' 80 who had aided the administration with their abilities and talents during the previous three years. At this time, class sponsors Mrs. Nancy Shrout and Mrs. Shirley Wingfield present¬ ed similar awards to active members in class activities. Now the seniors ' turn had come to rec¬ ognize those who had put forth their ef¬ forts to ensure the success of the Class of ' 80. As an Honorary Graduate,” Mr. Dyche accepted an extra-special diploma. Gifts of appreciation were given to Mrs. Shrout and Mrs. Wingfield as well as to Anne Yuengert for her organization of the Class Night festivities. A slide show prepared by the annual staff photographers added the final polish to the evening as Jennifer Sporer and Ja¬ nice Cooper sang the class song, The Rainbow Connection.” Heidi Myer played the piano for the selection while watery- eyed seniors gazed at a pictorial essay on their victories and failings. Filing out of the auditorium silently, each senior knew without a doubt that a stage in their lives as students and as people had been com¬ pleted. AND YOU WERE THERE Placing the long awaited Class of ' 80 on the Spirit )ug, Gary Faircloth paints carefully as the seniors watch from their auditorium seats.

SPECIAL EVENTS-77 Flowing down each aisle to a tempo¬ rary resting place, the sea of green and white rippled quietly as the voices of the A ' capella Choir filled the auditorium. Tak¬ ing their places solemnly, each soon-to-be graduate melted into the wave-like har¬ mony of the whole. Individual memories, accomplishments, and failures were for¬ gotten momentarily as the seniors sat fac¬ ing their class officers, Mr. Harry B. Dyche, and guest speaker Representative Paul S. Trible. As if to emphasize the im¬ portance of the occasion, the lights flickered while an afternoon thunder¬ shower raged outside, but then held steady for the remainder of the ceremo¬ ny. Emotions ran high and deep, but the tide had not yet subsided for the last time. Speaking briefly to the seniors, parents, and friends present, the Honorable Paul S. Trible encouraged the class to utilize the opportunities open to them in order that they and their country would each realize the potentials. After the comments, the benediction was given by Reverend Sidney W. Williams. The traditional You ' ll Never Walk Alone was performed by the A ' Cappella choir just before the Class of ' 80 turned to leave the auditorium for the last time. Walking into the sunlight which followed the rain, the seniors gath¬ ered in the freshly-washed parking lot. Some headed for the cafeteria reception; others to their pre-exam studies; and some to the beach to enjoy their last weekend before graduation. Why do they have to keep reminding us that graduation ' s only a week away?” wonders a distraught Lynne Vaughan.

SPECIAL EVENTS-79 The announcements had been mailed. The practices were over. The gowns had been pressed. The caps had been fitted. Graduation had begun. Strains of Pomp and Circumstance reached the seniors who stood in the side corridors at the Hampton Coliseum. Final¬ ly reaching their assigned seats, the pre¬ viously cheering group quickly grasped the solemnity of the occasion. Sitting qui¬ etly as they listened to the reminiscing of Senior Class President James Hicks and the remarks of Alfred Crews and Tim O ' Con¬ nor, the Class of ' 80 prepared to take that short walk across the stage and into their futures. The door to the future was opening wider and wider, but the seniors no long¬ er hastened so frantically to the threshold. Instead, they paused in their paths to re¬ flect on the road behind and the by-ways they had taken along the way.

The success of past dances, bake sales, and car washes is evaluated and the feasibility of similar fu¬ ture activities. Ways to improve the school and its facilities through the cooperation of the components repre¬ sented are suggested. Although inevitable clashes arise, the at¬ mosphere is one of friendly rivalry and the overall result of the mass consultation seems favorable.

With Mr. Garland P. Wesson as sponsor and president Alfred Crews, along with the other officers, the SCA triggered a change throughout the entire school. Fund raising activities for SCA kept trea¬ surer Cheryl Vosika counting money as the SCA sponsored the Back-to-School Dance and co-sponsored the Fall Festival with ICC. Vice-president Allison Rasch managed these activities. Other projects included a school clean up” and the Toys for Tots” Christmas drive. Organizing the Football Homecoming activities was a massive responsibility for SCA. Mr. Wesson planned the parade route, while the officers helped classes and clubs obtain flat-beds. Homecoming was a success! The VW race, parade, and dance were enjoyed by all. As the school year progressed, the spark grew into a strong flame. Besides having two monthly meets, the SCA Ex¬ ecutive Board attended a workshop held in Portsmouth that provided new ideas to keep the fire burning brightly. Taking a break from the time consuming ritual of note-taking, representative Lisa Diffenderfer daydreams momentarily. Spark of Life Prepared for the frigid winter days ahead, the new SCA treasurer Jordan Quick seems positive that he can handle the job. Silhouetted by her shadow, SCA vice-president Allison Rasch stresses the importance of a clean-up day at Kecoughtan. Adding a bit of humor to the tedious task of reading the minutes, SCA secretary Becky Sturk chuckles at her own joke. CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-83 Behind the Scenes While the Nuclear Regulatory Commis¬ sion regulated the activities of nuclear power plants and Ralph Nader looked after Detroit, the Inter-Club Council (ICC) was regulating the activities of all the var¬ ious clubs at Kecoughtan. Among the year ' s projects were Football Homecom¬ ing, the Fall Festival, the Thanksgiving bas¬ ket collection for the needy, and Basket¬ ball Homecoming. Headed by the SCA Vice-President, Alli¬ son Rasch, the ICC started off with a bang. As clubs organized, each nominated a member to the ICC board. Meeting whenever necessary, the ICC proved to be successful in efforts to organize clubs for the Festival and the basket collection. When the warm spring weather arrived, the ICC enhanced the beauty of the school grounds with shrubbery donated by individual clubs. The success of the clubs at Kecoughtan was directly related to the hard work of the Inter-Club Coun¬ cil. Pleased with the amount of food collected for the Thanksgiving Baskets, Allison Rasch and Alfred Crews determine which club ' s basket is the fullest. Expressing their opinions to the ICC president Allison Rasch, dedicated ICC members plan the final details for the Fall Festival.

In a world of beauty, Kecoughtan ' s Art League left a trail of pastels behind them. Participating in district rallies, the group painted the town , revealing their artistic abilities to other Hampton students. Spon¬ sors Mrs. Cheryl Carter and Mrs. Jean Harrell opened the club to all students in¬ terested so that no one was given the brush off . Many members exhibited their works in the Virginia High School League Student Art Show held in the Coliseum Mall. Unable to live on chalk alone, treasurer Deborah Cannan led the way to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when the Art League sold valentines in Febraury. The group also worked on their palette masterpieces by selling cookies and holding a cake raffle. Under the guid¬ ance of president Joy Denning and vice- president Hope Polinski, the money earned went towards a scholarship for a League member. Amid construction paper notes and a busy schedule, secretary Lee Bowen kept up to date on current hap¬ penings. Known for her talents with an ink pen, Debbie Cannan took notes at lo¬ cal Art League meetings. Whether discuss¬ ing abstract art or displaying contempo¬ rary skills, the Art League proved to be a colorful group. A Brush Where is that water coming from?

With Fame CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-85 With the aid of local merchants and the guidance of their teachers, the Distribu¬ tive Education students were off to a great start. The Distritutive Education De¬ partment (DE) enabled a vast number of Kecoughtan students to learn the practical arts, such as job interviews, filling out ap¬ plications and money exchanges through role playing. Wholesale, retail and service occupations consisted mainly of on-the- job training. A requirement of the course was secur¬ ing a job with the help of such stores as Peeble ' s, Rices Nachman and Jean Nicole. Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Virginia Johnson, Mrs. Pam Szynal and Mr. John Kreimer, the DE students left the halls of Kecoughtan a step ahead of their compe¬ tition and will inevitably succeed in the world of business and marketing. “But I ' ve still got an extra dime!

Who sold lifesavers in the bookstore? Who ran errands for the Guidance Department? Who answered the phones in the main office? Answer: Student Aides. An indispensable group of students who had free periods volunteered their services for numerous clerical and other important jobs. Aides worked for the deans, answering phones, writing excuses and tardy slips, and checking attendance. In the library, these students checked out materials, stamped new books, and ar¬ ranged magazines. In the main office, one could find the aides answering phones, taking messages, and typing the absentee lists. Others worked in the clinic filing re¬ ports and answering phones. Because of their invaluable help to Kecoughtan, the more than twenty aides were recognized for their conscientious work at the Awards Assembly in May. Carefully cross-checking the early dismissal list, student aide Mary Mansfield records the names for the attendance record. T wenty Carat Jewels CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-87 Bless the Beast and the Musicians Throughout the summer it slept. All anyone knew was that it slept. Those who were part of it felt the subconscious rumblings as the end of its summer hiber¬ nation neared. The Thing ' s mind, howev¬ er, was hard at work. The mind was Mr. Fred Pendergraft, the director of Kecoughtan ' s band. And the Thing? What was the sleeping giant which slumbered from the last note of the graduation cere¬ mony until the end of August? Why, the KHS Band, of course! Awakening the giant was no problem. Mr. P had only to say auditions for seats start at eight o ' clock Tuesday morn¬ ing and those parts, the students who made up the whole, were set in motion. Trombones, trumpets, flutes, and clarinets more or less obeyed Mr. P ' s directives throughout the year. However, marching practice will be held every afternoon this week! was one order which tended to bring about some dissent. A type of second mind, Tim O ' Connor, otherwise known as the band president, was responsible for the group ' s functions as a club. Darts were flying everywhere, especially near a rotating dartboard at the SCA-ICC Fall Festival. Also, a bountiful Thanksgiving box, complete with a tur¬ key, was donated by the members of the band for a needy family. The awesome presence of the huge one hundred and one piece band was made known throughout the State when many band members were accepted into the Hampton All-City Band, the District VIII All-Regional Band, and the Virginia All- State Band. The band roared through the winter and spring concert seasons with the help of some very heavy composers. Fun and games were needed to pacify the great band after its strenuous concert sea¬ sons. This was the purpose of the Rootbeer and Pretzels Concert at the end of the year. After helping the Class of 1980 graduate, the beast, relieved at the end of another long year, settled itself down for yet another long summer ' s nap. Admiring the band ' s precision, Mr. Pendergraft reflects on all the hard work that preceded the final perfor¬ mance. Left! Right! Left! The marching band strives to keep in step during a strenuous afternoon rehearsal. 88-CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Practicing his follow-through, Alfred Scherrer reaches into his drum during a perfectly executed solo.

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-89 “Note”-Worthy Participating in many school and com¬ munity events, the A ' Cappella choir and Harbor Lights Ensemble were directed by Mrs. Lucille Sutterer. The first of these musical events was the fall Variety Show, followed by the Daily Press Christmas Concert at the Hampton Coliseum. The choir then prepared for a Christmas con¬ cert of their own, later presented to the student body. In March the choir took part in the Hampton All-City Concert at Phoebus High school. Ending the year ' s program with a Spring Concert, the final encore was the Baccalaureate service. Attending the District VIII Regional Cho¬ rus held in February were several Kecoughtan students. After state tryouts, senior Dave Reese became Kecoughtan ' s representative to the Virginia All-State Chorus. Four members participated in an Honors Chorus held at the beginning of December in Richmond. These four were seniors Sam Hodges, Jennifer Sporer, and Anne Yuengert, and junior Jan Roberts. Fund raising consisted of selling conces¬ sions such as popcorn, candy, and drinks at basketball games, and holding a variety show for the student body. All profits were used to purchase a new sound sys¬ tem for the music department.

Hard work, dedication, participation in school and community activities were key ingredients for a responsible Keyette. Sponsored by Mrs. Debra Mortimer and Mrs. Cheryl Carter, this group of enthusi¬ astic girls used their energy for the benefit of others and for their own personal en¬ joyment. In addition to the two monthly meet¬ ings, when community projects were dis¬ cussed, the Keyettes regularly visited the Hampton Convalescent Center and par¬ ticipated in their prayer meetings. As Oc¬ tober and November rolled around, the girls made Halloween favors for the Mary Immaculate Hospital, had a dinner for the new members and collected canned goods for a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy family. Christmas proved to be a joyous time of year as the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball, organized by the Keyettes and Key Club, was a success. The Keyettes be¬ came the KHS Keyette Carolers as they traveled from the convalescent center to various neighborhoods in Hampton. Christmas gifts were given to a needy family and Eastern State Hospital. Cake raffles and wooden ' ' Warrior blocks were two of the fund raising activi¬ ties of the Keyettes. For entertainment, the girls had parties, ice skated, and bowled to ease the strain of their busy schedules. To the girls of KHS, being a Keyette meant simply being themselves and hav¬ ing fun, no matter what the activity was. Led by president Val Doggett and vice- president Mary Edgette, the Keyettes brought pride to their school and joy to the community. Emphatically voicing her disapproval of the motion to donate $1000 to the Key Club, Carolyn Doyle leads the discussion at a Keyette meeting while Eileen Edgette looks on in amazement. to the Community Following her agenda, Keyette president Valerie Doggett attempts to swiftly conclude the meeting. 92-CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS KHS “Handymen” Sharing the podium at a joint meeting of the Key Club and Keyettes, presidents Mark Therianos and Val Doggett formulate plans for the Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Year after year, there has been one club whose communal efforts have prov¬ en to be rewarding. What was the organi¬ zation? None other than the Key Club. Led by their fearless leaders, sponsor Mr. Mark Vandervort and president Mark Therianos, the Key clubbers raised over $800 through such projects as the egg toss at the Fall Carnival and the sale of Drix cleaner and Pennsylvania Dutch can¬ dy. Other projects were undertaken that were not for monetary profit but for the benefit of others. Among these were the collection for the Leukemia Society, the co-sponsorship of the Mistletoe and Holly Ball, and the late night stakeout against vandals before an important basketball game. Once again the Kecoughtan Key Club proved itself to be this school ' s multi-pur¬ pose handy-club. Leaning over the subject of his discussion, vice-president Todd Lynn explains the meaning of the Silver Certificate Award from the Leukemia Society of America. Counting mass quantities of quarters, nickels, and dimes, Doug Williamson tallies up some of the candy sale income as secretary Rod Lyman looks on. Checking his list twice, sponsor Mr. Mark Vandervort keeps the Drix cleaner sales record in order. CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-93 An Annual Event At first there was only silence. The chasm was finally crossed by one brave soul. This maiden (editor, Mary Edgette) was the most powerful of all the beings. She collected from the far reaches of the universe those who would help her in the Great Project to be accomplished. She was the one who would follow the progress of the Project every step of the way —checking, re-check ing, and making innumerable adjustments. Organized un¬ der the maiden were the workers who would propose ideas for the artistic ar¬ rangements with the raw materials (copy sheets, layouts, photographs) provided for that purpose. Helping the maiden in the work to be completed, a second maiden (copy editor, Kathleen Hinnebusch) and a youth (sports editor, Paul Farquharson) shaped the future of the endeavor. The coordinator of all of these beings (sponsor, Mrs. Sophia Romano), used all of her talents to ensure an efficient and successful completion of the carefully laid plans. Ordering, cajoling, and supporting the workers, as well as typing the final instructions (copy) for the entire Project, the coordinator nevertheless remained eager to assist and supplement all the work being done. After all the ideas had been fitted to¬ gether and surrounded by a binding force (Tomahawk cover), the maiden, her assis¬ tants, the workers, and the coordinator breathed a sigh of relief that gave life to the Great Project at last. Waiting for divine guidance, Julie Bates hesitates a moment before putting the finishing touches on her layout. “Aw c ' mon you guys!

Adding the click of her shutter to the snapping group was Belinda Bowen, the only female in the colorful assembly. Covering school events from the Art League to the football team, the efforts of Lee Dech, Jerry Daniel, Jesse Fanning, and B.J. Shelton enlarged the team ' s filming ca¬ pacity. After a year of tripods, lenses and negatives, the verdict was black and white: photographers were an essential part of the yearbook production. Taking a break from his shutterbugging.

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-95 Composed entirely of materi al donated by students, Kecoughtan ' s literary art magazine, Torch, included artwork, short stories, and poems. Sponsored by Mrs. Betty Bragg, the Torch was the only KHS publication that solely featured student work. Partially funded by the school, the Torch staff raised the remaining necessary funds during two campaigns. A silhouette drawing booth at the ICC Fall Festival in November helped accumulate a treasury, but the most profitable campaign was the candy can sale held at Christmas. Coming off the presses in May, the magazine was available free of charge to students with an activity card. Some of the areas covered in the magazine were controversial issues, nature, and people. The booklet, twenty pages in length, was reviewed and arranged by the Torch staff in cooperation with Co-Editors Joy Taggart and Martha Neal.

A “Tribal Tale To an outside observer, one who knew nothing of the fine reputation of Kecoughtan ' s newspaper, Tribal Tales, the scene in Cd-26 two days before mail¬ ing time seemed to be one of utter chaos. Piercing yells sliced the air, fiery argu¬ ments raged fiercely at every turn, and blurred bodies hurtled in and out of the door on urgent missions. But the mission was always accomplished, for the product that emerged from this apparent chaos was an award-winning high school news¬ paper. Guided by editor-in-chief Jennifer Sporer and advisor Mrs. Joel Grimm, the 1979-80 Tribal Tales staff learned valuable lessons all year long. Early on, in Septem¬ ber, 17 staff members attended the fall session of the Virginia High School League ' s Journalism Workshop in Char¬ lottesville. Here, an entire weekend was spent studying various aspects of scholas¬ tic Journalism and listening to a wide range of speakers from all over the state. Awards were distributed and Tribal Tales receive the highest award, a Trophy rat¬ ing. In March, staffers were part of the Dai¬ ly Press Times Herald workshop where students listened to and questioned pan¬ els of newspaper employees of all cate¬ gories, from editors to artists. Finally, members of the KHS newspaper staff learned to work together, and also learned something about responsibility and self-reliance. The fact that we im¬ proved with every issue was a great ac¬ complishment, observed Jennifer. And with 11 issues overall, by the end of the year everyone involved was quite proud of their work on Tribal Tales.

Stately Honors Listening to another representative ' s plans, cream-of-the- crop junior Ellen Lewis is all ears. Gathering from all over the state, high school girls and boys spent a week learn¬ ing about Virginia ' s governmental system through participation. At Lynchburg Col¬ lege, home of Boy ' s State, the young men were identifiable by emblemed T-shirts, and at Longwood College, center for Girl ' s State, the young women were dis¬ tinguishable by blue and yellow beanies. Although the method of selection dif¬ fered from school to school, Kecoughtan students were chosen for the honor by a faculty committee. Major qualifications in¬ cluded leadership ability, honesty, scholar¬ ship, community service, and participation in extra-curricular activities. Acquiring the necessary funds, $105.00 for each boy and $85.00 for each girl, was the biggest hurdle for the students involved. Cover¬ ing the major costs were the project origi¬ nators, the Department of Virginia Ameri¬ can Legion and the Auxiliary counterpart. Remaining deficits, however, were re¬ lieved by local and school-related clubs and faculty donations which aided the program scheduled from June 15-21. Attending Girl ' s and Boy ' s State were five boys and four girls. These ”cream-of- the-crop juniors were proud to repre¬ sent Kecoughtan and even hoped to be chosen as delegates for Girl ' s and Boy ' s Nation.

Gifted Gab CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-99 Bibliophiles, Ltd. According to the sponsor. Miss Nancy Spain, the 1979-80 Library-Audiovisual Club was a tremendous help. Led by president Mary Kelley, approximately twenty students participated in the club. By volunteering to help in the library and AV center, the assistants were automati¬ cally members of the club. The purpose of the club was to relieve some of the burdens of operation of the school library personnel and allow the assistants to get to know each other. This year was the first in several years that participants were not given class credit for this activity. Miss Spain depended on the members of the club to serve the student body successful¬ ly. Spreading out her work, Colleen Hinnebusch utilizes the quiet atmosphere of the library to complete a class project. Front Row: B.J. Shelton, Melody Ciolkosz, George Long.

Spiders And Snakes Wishing she could be left alone to concentrate, Joanna Walberg works out the details of her VJAS presentation. Attempting to add new knowledge to the storehouse of information previously collected by the scientific community, six Kecoughtan students were accepted to present projects at the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Although the experi¬ ments had taken months to research and complete, each participant was allowed only twelve minutes to explain the back¬ ground information, purpose, materials, procedure results, and conclusions of their work. Utilizing slides and transparancies, the students prepared note cards and practiced their presenta¬ tions before each other and to the biol¬ ogy classes of the group ' s sponsor, Mrs. Anne Tucker. All six students were mem¬ bers of the Physiology class taught by Mrs. Tucker. Working with organisms, varying from hydra to planaria to dogs to humans, each student tried to find the answer to a spe¬ cific question. Mark J. Williams tried to discover if memory could be transferred through cannabalism in the planaria while Prosanti Chowdhury determined the opti¬ mum environment for the tiny hydra and Joann Colvin investigated learning in dogs. Joanna Walberg tested the effects of light on acne bacteria in an endeavor to dis¬ close a cure for that age-old affliction. Finding volunteers was the first hurdle to be crossed by Kathleen Hinnebusch and Claire Olsovsky. Family and friends acted as the gui nea pigs in these two inquiries. The possibility of improved vision in¬ curred by special diets and eye and neck muscle relaxation exercises intrigued Kath¬ leen while Claire worked with the effects of Tylenol and Aspirin on the coagulation time of the blood. Piling back into cars for the long drive from the Academy ' s host, the University of Virginia, smiles of satisfaction barely disguised the underlying weariness. The first place award of Prosanti and the third place of Claire, as well as the experience gained by all, had made the trip worth¬ while. CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-IOI Be of Good Cheers! Dear Mom, I ' m sorry I haven ' t written in so long but I ' ve been really busy with cheerleading practices! I know your cheerleading days are over, but you probably remember how much time it took.

We also washed cars to raise money to fund our week at the National Cheerleading Associ¬ ation Camp at Old Dominion University. We received a superior rating at camp and were one of the top six squads cho¬ sen from one hundred and fifty compet¬ ing squads. We worked hard on our routines and had plenty of chances to show them off at football games, basketball games, and pep rallies.

With the help of sponsor Ms. Jeannie Smith, co-captains Debbie Downes and Karen Krodel organized early morning and afternoon sessions dedicated to the perfection of various cheers, chants and stunts. The first actual test of the squad ' s competence came with the Sophomore Orientation Program and the opening football pep rally. The J.V.

The majorettes conducted numerous summer bake sales to raise money for twirling camp which was held during the month of August. Other fund raising ac¬ tivities included the selling of megaphones at the ICC Fall Carnival. Talent and perfection were achieved from one thing — PRACTICE!

SPORTS- 111 Marking a turn-about in Kecoughtan ' s attitude toward their gridiron Warriors, the ' 79- ' 80 squad broke a long-standing losing tradition. A 6-3-1 record in the Pen¬ insula District is nothing to be sneezed at. To earn such a record, the players and coaches put in months of grueling work. Workouts extended from January to Au¬ gust and players could be found partici¬ pating in such activities as drills, sprints, weight lifting, and the ominous Burma Road. In the pre-season, the Warrior squad performed well. The team earned a disap¬ pointing tie with George Wythe High School of Richmond. The opposing team was many times the size of the small but scrappy Warriors. Their coaches num¬ bered close to our players, and it took two Greyhound buses to get the team to the game. It was pure conditioning and determination that kept our men on the field in the 95 degree heat, yet there was still a question as to whether or not Kecoughtan could compete with the five state ranked teams on the Peninsula. The season opened with a bang when the Warriors tied the state ranked Bethel Bruins. Though it was not a win, many considered it a great success. May¬ be the players thought a little of the same, maybe too much so, because the next three games were not to go in favor of the Warriors. Warwick, Hampton, and Lafayette were three cloudy games in the otherwise bright season. The players and coaches realized after the fourth game that the team had yet to taste victory. All came to the conclusion, that if victory was to be tasted, the first bite would have to be supplied by the Menchville Monarchs. Practices got longer and hard¬ er, and there was a definite change in morale during the week before the Menchville confrontation. After a hard fought battle in wet, freezing weather, the Warriors walked away with a close but definite victory. Once the squad had experienced the thrill of winning, losing was not an accept¬ able thought. The next five games were to be played with the confidence that no one could stop them, and so it was. Den¬ bigh, Tabb, Ferguson, and Pembroke fell to the tomahawk wielded by a new Kecoughtan football team. After five straight wins, many believed that the Warrior luck would run out upon clashing with Phoebus. Coach Jack- son knew that the game was to be a dog fight, and it was not hard to get the War¬ riors fired up for the final game. The statement was made that Phoebus had more talent in its backfield than Kecoughtan had on its entire team. These words were eaten when once again the Warriors proved their superiority on the gridiron, winning their sixth game in a row, and compiling the longest winning streak on the Peninsula. Although the coaches and players were small in number, they were big in heart, thus proving that quality not quantity makes a football team. 1979-1980 Varsity Football Scores KHS 7 Bethel 7 KHS 0 Warwick 6 KHS 7 Hampton 19 KHS 0 Lafayette 19 KHS 21 Menchville 20 KHS 7 Denbigh 6 KHS 38 Tabb 14 KHS 26 Ferguson 0 KHS 14 Pembroke 0 KHS 12 Phoebus 6-3-1 7 Showing perfect form, the Warrior offensive team demonstrates Kecoughtan ' s bread and butter” play, the option. 112-SPORTS Mound-builder Will Conley prepares to add the finishing touch to a Warrior Deciding whether to run or throw, quarterback Scott gang tackle as Tabb Tiger (88) begs for mercy at the feet of Clayton Holly.

Due to her consistent playing and leadership abilities, a stroke of luck was not necessary for senior Val Doggett to be chosen as the Most Valuable Player. Participating on the team for the third year, Val ' s athletic abilities enabled her to achieve the top position on the team. Maureen Hinnebusch was chosen Most Deserving for her outstanding single ' s record of 11-1. Susie Montefusco was awarded the Special Coach ' s trophy for perseverance, good sportsmanship, and team spirit. After resuming their talk, the girls continued to have a smashing time.

Gathering before a meet, the coach wishes the team good luck and delivers a hopeful prayer. tncouraged by Coach Lew Faxon, the Cross Country team put in many hours of hard work every day. Unfortunately, their efforts went unrewarded as the season ended with a 0-8 record. Each practice began with approximately thirty minutes of warm-ups, followed by running distances ranging from one to eight miles. Self-discipline was necessary to the harriers, and each one had to push himself to reach his highest limit. On cer¬ tain days, Coach Faxon involved the run¬ ners in sprinting for one mile, resting for five minutes, and repeating the process over and over. This was done in order to condition each runner for the first mile in every race (3.1 miles). Juniors Kevin Gaskin and David Laity, alo ng with sophomore Mike Puckett, were the top three harriers on the team. Due to an injury, stand-out Barry Marushi was unable to compete in most of the meets. He was replaced by sophomore Fred Myer who, by the end of the season and after much hard work, was able to run with the top three. Although the team did not receive first place in any meets, they deserved first place for team effort. Remember — It ' s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. SPORTS-117 Leading the Warrior swimmers to an¬ other high place finish. Head Coach Chuck McFadden ' s time and effort were not in vain. With a final record of seven and two, the team was disappointed, but finished better than had predicted. The Warrior team was small but pow¬ erful. Composed of top quality swimmers, AAU swimmers Dan Newhall, Dave Schiefer, Tommy Stickle, Melissa Stickle, and Rick Murray were just a few of the outstanding swimmers who led the flying fish” to a soaring finish. The seniors, Mi¬ chael Vaughan, Susie Huntley, Tim Raines, Becky Sturk, and Dave Schiefer added their competitive experience to round out the team. Starting off the season with a non-con¬ ference win over Walsingham Academy, the Warriors then suffered a disappointing loss to Lafayette, but were victorious the second time around. After four more wins, the conference title depended on the outcome of the last meet — Kecoughtan versus Hampton. After a neck-and-neck meet, Hampton came out victorious. The mighty Warriors had fin¬ ished second. The Flying Fish finished in third place in the district meet, due to the size of the team. Although they walked away with most of the first place medals, the War¬ rior swimmers did not have the depth to capture the district championship again this year. Most Valuable Swimmers Awards went to Dan Newhall and Tish Johnson and Most Deserving was won by Tim Raines. Team captains were senior Tim Raines and junior Melissa Stickle. Proving that the size of a team is not the vital element, the Warrior swimmers showed the opponents that the Kecoughtan spirit will always prevail.

SPORTS-121 Much-improved was the adjective most frequently used to describe the girl ' s basketball team. Rebounding from a frus¬ trating season the previous year, the Lady Warriors posted one of their best sea¬ sons, with 11 wins and 5 losses in regular season play. A fourth place berth in the district also ensured the team of post-sea- son district tournament competition. However, the Warrior women were de¬ nied advancement beyond the first round of the tournament due to a loss to arch¬ rival, Menchville. Co-captain Anita Dixon, a junior, also the recipient of the Most Valuable Player and Best Offensive Player awards, earned personal honors with her selection to the All-District First Team. Averaging 15.3 and 10.5 respectively, Anita and sophomore Elizabeth Stillwell led the Warriors in con¬ sistent scoring and strong rebounding. The quarterbacks, Mary Weiss and Renie Tellinger, signaled plays and forced many turnovers with their quick, agile de¬ fense. As a result, Mary was chosen the Best Defensive Player of the team. The winner of the Most Improved Player award, co-captain Chris Turner aided the Lady Warriors in rebounding and netted an average of 8.4 points per game. Junior Bonita Green, who began the season as a substitute, advanced to a starting position near mid-season. Concluding the season with a seven game winning streak, the team displayed true Warrior spirit and determination.

Composed of highly skilled but inexpe¬ rienced members, the Varsity Soccer Team recorded a respectable 6-6-4 record in district competition. Unlike past winning seasons, Kecoughtan lacked the leadership qualities that previous teams possessed. With only two starters return¬ ing in the spring, Coach Joe Hagy and As¬ sistant Coach Kelly Alford were optimistic about the upcoming season. But after Kecoughtan ' s upset victory in the opening match against a very powerful Lafayette team, Kecoughtan seemed to be once again headed towards a district championship. In the very next game, the team experienced a demoralizing loss to the district champs, Ferguson. Throughout the season, Kecoughtan experienced this type of up and down play. At home, the Warriors were practically invincible. Fer¬ guson, undefeated before its second game with Kecoughtan, discovered the agony of defeat by losing 4-2. Winning only one away game, Kecoughtan ' s weakness proved to be playing on the road. Although there were no standouts, there was a solid team of proficient play¬ ers all equal in skill. Capturing second team all-district honors for Kecoughtan were co-captain Greg Reding, Bob Owens, and Brian Flynn. Also receiving honorable mention were co-captain Mike Gillett and Jimmy White.

SPORTS-129 T rackablanca A winning season. A season where indi¬ vidual accomplishments were as outstand¬ ing as the team accomplishments, and just as exciting. At least that ' s the way it seems now, as I look back . . . It all started in the dark girl ' s gym in March. Conditioning they called it, I called it toughening up. After a while the girls who continued practicing were fewer and fewer. But all it took was a few good women right? We were a rough bunch but we didn ' t mind, we knew we were good. We picked a leader who was tough; experienced, Chris Stretch” Turn¬ er, a three year member. At the first meet we were a little green, unsure of ourselves and won a tough vic¬ tory over the Denbigh Patriots. Before I knew it everything was running along smoothly and the crew was racking up the points, and setting new school records. The relay team of Nancy Owens, Paula Owens, Bonita Greene, and Anita Dixon ended up with new school records in the 400, 800, and 1600 meter relays. A pretty mean group if you ask me. And then there was fiesty Maureen Hinnebusch, who set records in the 800 and 1600 meter runs. After winning the city meet by a twen¬ ty-seven point spread over the closest team, the seasoned Warriors were ready for the big time. The District Meet. The lights, the crowds, the cheers, the heart¬ breaks. It was a jungle but five Warriors gutted it out. The relay team had placed second in the 400 and 1600 meters, and Maureen Hinnebusch had placed first in the 1600 meter and fourth in the 100 me¬ ter. From then on the going was getting harder. The girls got going. Regionals was no piece of cake, but the girls hung in there with another second in the 1600 meter run for the relay team, and a third for Maureen in the 1600 meter. They had done it, they had reached the State Meet, Warming-up before the District Meet, Distance runner Maureen Hinnebusch discusses her strategy brief¬ ly with Caryl Edwards of the Times Herald. a long way from that dusty little gym.

From that point on, the Warriors fought back up to be in contention for second place. After losing a close match (3-6) to Hamp¬ ton, the team settled into third place. The peak of the season was the smashing 6-3 victory over Menchville. In singles, junior Billy Hannah, the num¬ ber six player, finished undefeated in dis¬ trict play. He lost only two sets out of twenty four —a school record for the number six position. Fortunately for the 1980-81 team, the next best records were from juniors Todd Ames and Cam Cosby. Senior Ricky Durkee ' s ( 1) somewhat dis¬ appointing record could be attributed to his mid-season ankle injury which he tol¬ erated for the rest of the season. Other seniors, Mark Therianos ( 3) and Rob Goss ( 4) turned in fine performances for the team effort.

Alfred Crews, the SCA president, took the platform and quieted the ner¬ vous tenth graders. After a soothing talk, Alfred introduced the administra¬ tors. When all of the official business was finished, the time arrived for the upperclassmen to have their fun. First came the satirical Sophomore Lottery in which several juniors and seniors acted as contestants. The prizes were issued to those who admitted to being sophomores. Then a calm in the middle of the storm took place when the JV cheerleaders began a cheer that was not derogatory towards the sophomores. The varsity cheerleaders warned the Class of ' 82 with a cheer to be leery of all juniors and seniors. The program ended with a skit pre¬ sented by the Pillowcase Pygmies. Then the sophomores were instructed with care how to cross the hall into the cafeteria where they received sched¬ ules and were guided through an ab¬ breviated school day. When the ordeal was finally over, the sophomores filed out of KHS to waiting cars, busses, and bikes.

Mrs. Anne Tucker had an uncanny ability to challenge her students, causing them to use their minds to the ut¬ most, while Mr. Leonard Thomas was ad¬ mired for his capacity to relate to stu¬ dents. Mrs. Adgeline Hill and Mrs. Maggie Oliver were noted for their consistent and reliable teaching methods. Finally, Mrs. Virginia Hawkins was distinguished by her skill in keeping her students on the right track. During the one year course, the bi¬ ology students learned about many life forms and their components such as the golgi apparatus and DNA. Some of the more fortunate classes even dissected frogs. At the end of each semester most biology teachers required their pupils to complete a project. Sophomores Mike Puckett, Jordan Quick, and Kevin Shinpaugh were the producers of projects accepted at the Tidewater Science Fair held n March 29 at Phoebus High School. Other sophomores populated physical education and health classes. Miss Nancy Hibbard was recognized for the institution of Crises in Health , a course which she researched and developed herself.

The athletes practiced hard to establish themselves on the various teams and to get a good background for the upcoming seasons. Although the sophomores still couldn ' t drive or hold a regular job, odds and ends such as lawn mowing and babysitting fi¬ nanced their ambitious dreams for both the next two years and later life.

Financing and organizing were qualities yet to be developed, but individ¬ ual accomplishments of the sophomores proved that they had the potential to sur¬ pass all those who had gone before. The single highlight of the sophomore year was their victory in the Volkswagon race. Participation in pep rallies and school activities paved the way for a greater and better future at KHS. The sophomore class was far from surrender —they had only just begun.

When a group of young, energetic people put their minds together to work on a project, the outcome is usually a big success. That ' s the way it happened when devoted, hard-working KHS stu¬ dents prepared for the 1979-80 Football Homecoming. As a part of this group, the junior class faithfully labored in order to get ready for the Homecoming events. With a long list of things to accomplish, the Class of ' 81 began to operate. Home¬ coming attendants Mari-Ann McLoed and Carolle O ' Clair were chosen to represent the junior class. Next, construction began on the float, appropriately entitled Ram Roast. In all three of the class competi¬ tions—the pep rally, the VW races, and the float competition —the juniors placed second, lagging behind the seniors in the pep rally and the float competition, and crossing the finish line after the sopho¬ mores in the VW races. Although there were a few losses, the diligence of the junior class paid off. The class was united in spirit and enjoyment in the festivities.

Which Eng¬ lish? What history? Should one take math or science? These questions were on the minds of juniors as they planned their next year ' s curriculum. Predestined to take the required English and history, members of the Class of ' 81 were left with the specific choices in these areas. English courses ranged as widely as one ' s imagination, from the fan¬ tasy world of Creative Writing to the real world of Good and Evil. History spanned the bridge between the Revolutionary War and the Atomic Age. Elective courses in math and science in¬ terested some juniors who signed up for Math Analysis and Chemistry. Alternatives were languages, including Latin, French, German, and Spanish. Juniors showed in¬ terest in the practical arts by enrolling in Distributive Education, Home Economics, and the various art and music classes. Once decided upon, the juniors discov¬ ered that no matter what courses they took, school was a class -y affair.

The reasons for working were as varied as the types of jobs held by juniors. Some worked for college tuition money, some for the upkeep of their cars, some for spending money, and others for the pure pleasure of having a job. Students could be found at fast-food establishments as waitresses and cashiers, filling station at¬ tendants, grocery store clerks, and de¬ partment store salespeople. While the remaining juniors were relax¬ ing on the weekends, the jobholders were punching the time clock. No sacri¬ fice was too great for the almighty dollar!

President Jeff Heggen worked on future plans early, and held a few class meetings in the summer. As the new school year began, Treasurer Jennifer Wandling was busy collecting class dues, although the job was later alternated between Histori¬ an Gene Green and Parliamentarian Susan Dargle. Presiding over plans for class par¬ ticipation in spirit events, Vice-President Mari-Ann McLeod organized pep rallies while Chaplain Ellen Lewis prayed for a victory in the float competition. Class meeting discussions ranged from fund-raising, homecoming events, and pep rallies to the treasured Ring Dance. As to be expected, money-making schemes ran abound at the meetings — among them was a pretty trashy idea. Plans to sell garbage cans emblemed with KHS were not warmly received and the flighty suggestion of selling Frisbies was overruled. Juniors eventually settled on sponsoring dances and selling and renew¬ ing magazine subscriptions. Devoting time to float plans for home¬ coming and poster-making for pep rallies, Secretary Jenny Compton kept class spirit alive. As the end of the year neared, the class of ' 81 eventually canned all the bad ideas and came up with Time In A Bot¬ tle as the theme song of the Ring Dance. The theme exemplified the long hours that so many Juniors had invested to make their year a success.

During the night the co¬ coons turned into caterpillars as the pres¬ sure built. By 8:30 Saturday morning, the butterflies were violently fluttering and everyone was terrified. Walking out of the building after a tense three hours, the students knew the time had come to set the butterflies free.

Early in the year, several aspiring juniors, including Dave Christiansen, Mike Webb, and Jack Jenkins, completed a winning season on the football team. The winter season the emergence of basket¬ ball players and wrestlers from among the junior class members. Shooting, dodging, and dribbling their ways to starting posi¬ tions on the Lady Warrior ' s Basketball team, Anita Dixon, Bonita Greene, and Mary Weiss showed what determined ju¬ niors could accomplish. Likewise, Cam Cosby and Todd Ames were assets to the Varsity Basketball team. Mike Rawls and Jack Jenkins added their skills to those of the wrestling team. Shaking the moth balls out of their run¬ ning flats and cleats, the juniors also filed out of their ranks to participate in spring sports. After aiding the girl ' s tennis team in their quest for victory in the fall, Mau¬ reen Hinnebusch was undefeated in the mile during the district track season and placed third in the Regional meet before setting her final school re cord in that event at the State meet. Other records fell as the trio of Anita Dixon, Bonita Greene, and Nancy Owens teamed with sophomore Paula Owens to set new marks in the 400M, 800M, and 1600M re¬ lays. Gathering together her bat and ball, Mary Weiss had a swinging season on the Woodland Warriors softball team. Dicky Neal and Mike Rawls struck it rich on the Varsity baseball team and Cam Cosby and Todd Ames rounded out the junior repre¬ sentation as they served their class on the tennis team.

(IMMER WHEELS Whew, I am glad that the summer is over! That girl almost drove me crazy. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aussie Auto. I belong to a typical, almost eighteen year old Senior. She and I went through a lot together last summer. Every day she would run out to me early in the morning and drive me to pick up some of her friends. After all of her friends had joined her on my aching back, we headed toward the beach. I was able to rest awhile until she and her friends splashed around in the water. Sometimes it got so hot that my coolant would boil! After leaving the beach, we would go to an air-conditioned mall. They would shop, eat ice cream, and watch movies. I had to wait all by myself in the hot sun. Once, while we were leaving the mall, they talked about the movie. Alien. I slept with one headlight on for an entire week after that. Sometimes we would go to Busch Gar¬ dens or Kings Dominion. After a few hours of circling loops on a roller-coaster, being whipped about on a spider, and eating a ton of cotton candy, their stom¬ achs could take no more. When every¬ one had been seated, my owner forced me to carry them back home even though my tires were aching. Later, I would have to take them to a party or concert. I was really a deprived auto. During concerts, while they were listening to the sounds of Teddy Pendergrass or Kansas, I would have to wait in the humid summer air. Now that school has begun, my trou¬ bles are over. I only have to carry my owner and friends to school and then I can rest almost all day. I hope I never have to go through another senior summer!

FINALLY!!! Taking time off from his harrowing duties of sign carrying, senior Steve Vaughan asks a pom-pom for further instructions. Finally coming into its own, the Class of 1980 claimed the first victory of its high school years with the fall pep rally. Me¬ ticulous plans materialized into a first place and the acquiring of the coveted Spirit Jug. Since it took two years to win a pep rally, better late than never became the class motto. The victory was short¬ lived because the VW races turned into a disaster. The unprepared senior team just didn ' t stack up to the other classes and the upperclassmen came away with a dis¬ appointing third. After these preliminaries were complet¬ ed, the seniors finally began serious work on the Homecoming float. The twelve foot Indian, the Ram-o-matic paper press and the subdued ram had barely been begun and the anxious workers settled down to work all night, hoping to finish the masterpiece.

Hopping to success, the Class of 1980 proved itself to be on the ball. The Senior Class, the first to begin the year with over $1000, was led by enthusiastic and exper¬ ienced officers. For the second year in a row, James Hicks served as class presi¬ dent. Other oldies included treasurer Tammy Beaumont, historian Anne Yuengert, and parliamentarian Allen Kilgore. The senior crew did see three new faces among their leaders —Gary Faircloth as vice president, Lisa Diffenderfer as secretary, and Dawn Car¬ penter as chaplain. Because of better class organization, meetings were more successful than those of previous years. Attended by a surprisingly large number of sporting seniors, the first meeting found the stu¬ dents discussing plans for fund raising projects, such as the selling of key chains, buttons, and candy. At other meetings the homecoming float theme was chosen and strategy for pep rallies was orga¬ nized. Other important topics discussed were the site and theme for the Prom, Class Night, and Graduation. Excellent leadership and organized meetings proved to be two key factors leading to a great senior year for the Class of 1980.

Many ideas were presented, including sales of stuffed ani¬ mals, candy, and Warrior buttons. Button and key-chain sales, a fairly successful ac¬ tivity, began the fund campaigns. The big rake-in for the seniors came with the sale of old-fashioned candy sticks in many lus¬ cious flavors. Unfortunately, very little profit was realized from the Football Homecoming mums because the mums could not be delivered during third peri¬ od, and the buyers had to pick their mums up during the two lunches. Sponsoring the Basketball Homecoming Dance and the Miss KHS Pageant helped the senior fund raising attempt to ad¬ vance immensely. Of course, the $15.00 dues were also a big asset to the treasury! A small core of hardworking seniors who persisted in selling candy, key-chains, buttons, and mums kept the class afloat. However, the entire Class of 1980 were worthy of congratulations for their indi¬ vidual efforts in support of their class through dues, pep rally contributions, and patronization of class projects.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER 196-PEOPLE future and the Class of ' 80 left the auditorium fully ready for the responsi¬ bility of the future. Robin Lee Orga Lori Ann Ownby show of our growing years at Kecoughtan, bringing back many memories of good times. As the class left the auditorium, an¬ ticipating Baccalaureate and Gradu¬ ation, a very throughtful mood pre¬ vailed. For the first time in many weeks, the seniors reflected on the past rather than awaited the future. The short time provided by Class Night, was the final preparation for the Susanne Ella Montefusco Cheryl Lynn Moore Thomas Roane Moore Faith Ann Morris Christopher Wayne Mounts Ross Anthony Mugler James Andrew Muguira Ray Edward Murray Heidi Jean Myer Scott Lynn Nault Donna Lynn Newby Audrey Lynne Newton Kimberly Ann Niernberger John Richard Noakes Laurie Cay Nunemaker Sharon Lee Oakley Michael Edwin Ochsenfeld Timothy Charles O ' Connor Carol Patricia Ogden Claire Ann Olsovsky After many tears, long hours and various arguments, the Class of ' 80 pulled together to complete the last of the Senior activities. The strange ritual, known as Class Night began with a casting of parts four days before the fated night and performance above and beyond the call of duty by a small core of dedicated seniors. After the casting, emcees Heidi Myer and Alfred Crews practiced their re¬ marks, Paige McKinley tuned her guitar for the class poem and everyone de¬ terminedly studied their lines, striving towards and entertaining and memora¬ ble night. As the count-down came to a close, and the emcees welcomed their class¬ mates, instinct took over and im¬ promptu skits and a little rehearsed prophecy went off like clock-work. Following the presentation of various awards to students, Mr. Dyche, secre¬ taries, and class sponsors Mrs. Nancy Shrout and Mrs. Shirley Wingfield, Ja¬ nice Cooper and Jennifer Sporer gave their rendition of the class song.

Re¬ presentative Paul S. Trible makes a statement about getting involved with America. 198-PEOPLE Streaming into the school for the Baccalaureate service, students garbed in green and white gowns were eager to hear U.S. Representative Paul S. Trible speak, the A ' Capella choir sing the traditional You ' ll Never Walk Alone, and then to snatch a couple minutes of talk and refreshment at the reception before returning home to begin the long hours of studying be¬ fore the exams. The service proved to be a short and pleasant break in the last minute rush towards graduation. Thoughts of grades, summer jobs, and the beach were put aside as the class was recognized for its past achievements and blessed for its future. james Michael Ramberger Rhonda Patrice Ramsey Allison Marie Rasch Lecia Annette Reca Gregory Charles Reding Teresa Marie Redmond David Ernest Reese Vicki Lynn Reyns Laura Ellen Richards Timothy David Rippon Daphne Jay Roane Lisa Darlene Robbins Kimball Scott Roberts Rachel Anne Rodriguez Lorene Lynne Rohrbaugh Stanley Andrew Rorls Robyn Lynne Rose David Alexander Ross Edith Maria Ross Mark Thomas Routten Listening intently to U.S. Representative Paul S.

Flowing green and white gowns iden¬ tified the occupants who were headed for one of the most important ceremonies in their young lives. Graduation —June 15, 1980 —was only moments away. Events moved along quickly as the school board was introduced, short speeches were given, and the band played America, the Beautiful . Soon the presentation of diplomas was under way. Cheering, clapping, and picture-taking en¬ sued as each member of the Class of ' 80 was recognized by family and friends. Senior Class President James Hicks led the traditional tassle-turning before the final recessional. Now the seniors were free to cry and laugh together, discuss the events of the just-completed year, and exchange gradu¬ ation wishes and gifts. The Class of ' 80 had come of age. THE AGE OF 80! Leading the way, class president, James Hicks, and speakers Alfred Crews and Tim O ' Connor head-up” the recessional.

The year was notable in every way — for the nation, for the Senior Class, and for us as individuals. Both good and bad events took place that will never be forgotten. A highlight nationally was the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid with Eric Heiden and the US hockey team. On the darker side were the crises in Cambodia, Iran, and Afghanistan. Memorable events in¬ cluded the eruption of Mount St. Helens, soaring gold prices, and double digit infla¬ tion. For Kecoughtan ' s senior class, this was the year for the blizzard of ' 80, the city council race, semester exams, and as for many classes before, the Prom, Senior Day, Class Night, Baccalaureate, and final¬ ly, graduation. The fact that Principal Har¬ ry B. Dyche would be graduating with us made that final step a bit more special for everyone. On a more personal level, this year sig¬ nified the start of college and job applica¬ tions, SAT ' s and ACH ' s, and special pro¬ grams such as Presidential Classroom and the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Honors and awards as well as disappoint¬ ments and sorrow acted as signposts to make the directions on the roads that the seniors chose to follow. A new decade was beginning, and for the Class of 1980, new lives and exper¬ iences lay ahead in abundance. 202-PEOPLE Yvette Dorcas Washington Faith Anne Watkins Deborah Jane Watlington Kimberly Robyn Watson Sandra Ann Weatherford Jeanette Weih Suzanne Edythe Welker Debra Ann West James Patrick Whalen, Jr. David Allen Whipple Virginia Claire White Delvin Carvell Whitlock Angela Yvette Williams Kim Daphine Williams Mark Jordan Williams Randolph Burruss Willson Jeffrey John Woner Diane Michele Wright Trade Maureen York Tina Marie Young Anne Regina Yuengert FINAL FAREWELL PEOPLE-203 Janice Geriinda Adams: Drama Club; VICA.

Credits 1979-80 Pretending to practice his graduation speech, Tim O ' Connor entertains Editor Mary Edgette, Copy Editor Kathleen Hinnebusch, and Sports Editor Paul Farquharson during a momentary break in the hectic cycle of copy, photos, captions, head¬ lines, layouts, and finally, deadlines.

Sheltens Jack Thomasson Belinda Bowen Cover and Artwork Joy Denning Advisor Mrs. Sophia P. Romano Printed by the Inter-Collegiate Press in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, the Tomahawk is a leather bound book of premium glossy double-coated enamel paper. Black panton ink was used to record the events of the year in 10, 8, and 6 pt. Optimist type, and the book was completed with a 2 pt. index. Company representatives F. Kurt Aravjo and J. Dave Stein started the year with layout and cropping instructions and continued to support and aid the staff throughout the hectic succession of dead¬ lines. Adding her artistic skills to the effort, Joy Denning designed the headress on the Tomahawk ' s cover, which was then hot stamped in silver on a base of hunter green. Title page artwork, also submitted by Joy, helped to make Volume 17 of the Tomahawk series as professional and beautiful as possible. Special thanks are also due to Brenda Gibson, who typed the Senior Statistics accurately and efficiently, and to students who worked on special copies in an at¬ tempt to lighten the burden on the yearbook staff. Credit for further typing tasks goes to Mrs. Nancy Shrout and the yearbook ' s sponsor, Mrs. Sophia P. Romano. A small staff of fifteen labored through¬ out the year to put together photos and copies of the various people, places, and things at Kecoughtan. Head student pho¬ tographer Greg Jones and his staff of eight captured selected moments of the year in both black and white and color candid shots. Mr. Wilson Moore of Rempak conducted the photography for senior portraits and underclassmen photo¬ graphs. Working closely with Editor Mary Edgette, Copy Editor Kathleen Hinnebusch, and Sports Editor Paul Farquharson, sponser Mrs. Sophia P. Romano once again performed the Her¬ culean task of keeping the staff striving towards the ultimate goal —completion of the 1980 Tomahawk. 210-COLOPHON Ackerman, Lisa 136 Adams, Cheryl 182 Adams, lanice 29,69,74 Adadms, Kristie 136 Adcock, Amy 136 Adkins, Karen 156 Aheimer, Donna 136 Aheimer, Cary 156 Akers, Gregory 156 Alcott, Lynn 156 Alexander, Roberta 136 Alger, Ellen 136 Allen, Angela 101,182 Allen, lanis 156 Allen, Michelle 136 Allen, Sandra 136 Allen, Sharon 156 Allen, Steven 136 Allen, Susan 182 Alligood, Sara Mrs. 32,33 Alston, Cary 182 Aman, Donna 156 Ames, Todd 66,113,121,132,156,167 Amick, Krista 136 Ancarrow, Carolyn Mrs. 36,108 Anderson, Linda 137 Anderson, Susan 156 Anderson, Derri 182 Anderson, Bill 182 Anderson, Catherine 137 Armstrong, Lisa 137 Armstrong, Richard 156 Arnold, Linda 137 Arthur, Cheryl 156 Ashe, Lawrence 33,156 Austin, Belinda 7,156 Avis, Connie 156 Bailey, Diane 137 Bailey, Kenneth 182 Bailey, Robert 156 Baines, Duane 137 Baird, lennifer 137 Baird, Tom 182,190 Baker, David 137 Baker, Mary 182 Baker, Vicki 137 Balderas, Tammy 156 Balderston, Kim 137 Ballou, Tim 182 Banks, Karen 137 Banks, Michael 182 Barber, Perry 101,156 Barber, Roscoe Col 8,34 Barbour, Shirley 137 Barker, Debbie 90,137 Barkle, Patricia 137 Barnes, Karen 156 Barnes, Sandra 182 Barts, Deborah 156 Basgal l, William 49,183 Bass, Veronica 183 Bassett, Kenneth 113,156 Bates, Julie 94 Batten, Scott 157 Battle, Jacqueline 183 Baxter, Michelle 183 Baxter, T.
