Perhaps we have overlooked, however, our school ' s continuing record of academic, athletic, and personal excellence. We also share the distinction of belonging to a school with the reputation of “best-all-around. As sophomores, we are new to the traditions of high school life, but eager to experience new activities and learn the ways of our peers. As juniors, we busily juggle schoolwork, extra¬ curricular activities and a busy social life while eyeing the seniors with green-graduation envy. As seniors, we look back and realize that the “best years of our life” are almost over. Yet, we also look ahead, anticipating more independence and responsibility. Crossing the stage in the Hampton Coliseum in June signifies the end of these important years. But, as one class leaves, other classes remain to continue being the “best-all-around.” Opening 5 TAMMI TORGLER stands on the sidelines during Football Homecoming while holding a sign that flaunts her pride in the Class of ’84. 6 Opening HEAD DRUM MAJOR, senior Rodney Hamm, scrutinizes the band and listens carefully to make sure they are all ready for the next pep rally number. “I’VE GOT YOU NOW!” Juniors Chris Gillikin and Mike Rose struggle in each other’s grasp while practicing for the next wrestling match. _ Excellence in every area for 20 years I n the fall of 1963, Kecoughtan opened its doors to 1,100 juniors and sophomores, and became the third high school in Hampton. Those first students began a tradition of academic, athletic, extra-curricular, and personal excellence, establishing a reputation as the “best-all-around” high school in Hampton. While other schools have excelled in a single area at one period or another, our students have consist¬ ently done well in varied pursuits. Numerous trophies, plaques, and awards decorate the rooms of the NJROTC, Band, Chorus, VICA, TRIBAL TALES, DECA, SCA and others. The showcases in Warrior Hall are filled with trophies that the swim, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, tennis, SENIORS PAT MUGLER AND MONTE LEHMKUHLER lead the “Surf Rats” on an early-season assault of the waves at Buckroe Beach. track and golf teams have won throughout the years. More Kecought¬ an students consistently attend Boys’ and Girls’ State and Governor’s School each year, and more of our students receive scholarships and win awards for writing and artistic ability. Our faculty ranks as the best in Hampton, and so does our curriculum. Coaches and club sponsors have made extra¬ curricular activities an important part of our school. Scholars, athletes, musicians, fans, boosters, teachers, counselors, coaches, sponsors, administrators, leaders, followers, and spectators all contribute to the essence and spirit that is Kecoughtan — the knowledge that we are the “Best-AII-Around.” GESTURING FREELY, junidr Marti Foxwell tries to get her point across to sophomore Mari e Mirabella, and seniors Kristin Donoghue and Mike Folsom at a TAG Group meeting.

It’s stumbling into Physics at 8:15 in the morning, still bleary-eyed from sleep. It’s lunch with your friends in the bustling cafeteria, discussing happenings and doing homework. It’s willing the clock to move faster toward the end of your own school day. Some leave after fifth, fourth, or even third; but those last few moments are the slowest of all. It’s staying well after sixth period to practice with the team, work on publications, attend club meetings, and make-up tests. It’s staying after until the school is empty and silent, all the noise and confusion of the day stilled for the night. It’s life out of the building, too. Joining the screaming crowd at football games, frequenting the local nightspots, going to parties and concerts. All of these experiences make up the memories of your “best-all-around” year.

Warriors on the rampage u C P irit Week was great! I think we should have it again,” said junior Robert Lewis. Spirit Week was not only an exciting part of Football Homecoming, but also a rare opportunity for students to show their school spirit. Competing for the Spirit Jug, all classes actively participated in the daily events. The Future Homemakers of Amer¬ ica (FHA) and the Student Council Association (SCA) created spirit ther¬ mometers that were posted in the cafeteria and eventually determined who would win the coveted Spirit Jug. Everyday, first period teachers counted the number of seniors, juniors, and sophomores participating in the festivi¬ ties. By Friday, it was obvious that the seniors had won. During Spirit Week, students dressed up in original and interesting outfits — everything from mini skirts to three-piece suits. Students wore tour¬ ing caps, fruited hats, baseball hats, punk glasses, sun glasses, and several other types of hats and shades on Monday. On Punk and New Wave Day, colorful hair, spiked bracelets, and leather pants dominated the class¬ rooms. Other events included Bum Day, GQ Day, and Green and White Day. By Green and White Day, school spirit had reached its peak. The traditional pep rally was held during third period. Students cheered for their classes as they anxiously waited for SCA President Randall Reed to an¬ nounce the winner of the spirit competition. The cheerleaders and the band also added to the growing excitement. Finally, the winner of the coveted Spirit Jug was announced — the Class of 1984. Perhaps senior Cathy Allen best expressed the sentiments of the victorious upperclassmen, “I knew we’d win! We can’t help it if we’re better than everyone else!” The juniors easily took second place. Junior Gianina Shinpaugh said, “I thought we did a good job, but I have to admit the seniors were better!” The Miss Gorgeous Green and White competition was the highlight of the pep rally. This comical event was sponsored by the publication staffs. The sexy women who participated were football players Kevin “Fifi” Brown, Ralph “Sweetie Pie” Brown, Steven “Vanity” Gyant, Darren “Darl¬ ing” Johnson, Scott “Blossom Flowers” Parham, and Phil “Swivel Hips” Thacker. Dressed in negligees, dresses, and high heels, the contes¬ tants kept the students rolling in laughter as they strutted across the gym floor. The winners of this humor¬ ous competition were Phil “Swivel Hips” Thacker and Steve “Vanity” Gyant who collected over $70 in votes during lunch. night to remember I t was a crisp October night and excitement filled the air as the football team played the Lafayette Rams. The halftime score was 13-0. We were winning! Drum majors Rodney Hamm, Michele Heaphy, and Gary Rock proudly stepped out in front of the marching band to perform at halftime. The atmosphere was stirred with the beat of ‘‘The Eye of the Tiger.” Anticipation of the presentation of the queen and her court increased as the band struck the opening chords of “You Are So Beautiful,” and members of the NJROTC unit formed the ceremonial archway with their swords. Sophomore attendants were in¬ troduced first. Julie Campbell was escorted by Mike Hughes, and Jeanell Gray was escorted by Chad Pomeroy. Junior attendants were Heather Ander¬ son, escorted by Steve Riss, and Allyson Thompson, escorted by Mike McCleod. Buffy Black, escorted by Craig Allen, and Teresa Harper, escorted by Scott Seymour, were the senior attendants. Allison Pokorny, escorted by her father Colonel Anthony G. Pokorny, (USA retired), was crowned Homecom¬ ing Queen by Randall Reed, SCA president. The presentation of the queen was followed by cheers of approval. Anticipation did not ebb, however, because the crowd was awaiting the announcement of the winners of the float competition. Seniors went wild when they learned they had won. Disappointed juniors won second place, and elated soph¬ omores, glad to place at all, were delighted with third place.

A Ram Slam at Homecoming A fter days of spirited activities, Homecoming Week was high¬ lighted by the football team’s victory over the Lafayette Rams. The team’s record, coming into this district matchup, was 1-2, and it desperately needed a win to get back into contention in the tough Peninsula District race. And win they did! The opening play from scrimmage was fumbled by Lafayette and the Warriors recovered. Four plays later, Pat Mugler kicked a 27-yard field goal to put us in front, 3-0, with only three minutes on the clock. The defense held the Rams for four plays and the offense got the ball once again on the Lafayette 35-yard line. It took only two minutes for the offense to score on a 23-yard run by soph¬ omore O’Neil Combs. Three proces¬ sions later, Mugler touched on a 50-yard field goal to put the team in front at half-time, 13-0. A strong defense maintained the lead in the second half, although it was a fired up Lafayette team that emerged from the locker room. In the fourth quarter, with 3:58 remaining, the Rams connected for their only score of the game. The extra point attempt was foiled by our strong defense. “The defense played outstanding,” said Coach John Pauls. “The offense was spotty, but started to bog down after the first quarter.” Deserving recognition was number 42, sophomore Cary Ervin, who intercepted three passes to halt the Ram attack. SENIOR CO-CAPTAIN Kevin Alligood is deter mined to lead the defense to a Homecoming victor over Lafayette. 14 Football Homecoming TIME OUT!

THE FLASH DANCE look became a popular fashion this year. Senior Julie Lamers exhibits her version. CUT T-SHIRTS gave students opportunities to create their own fashion as junior Jon Schwartz- man displays. 16 Fashion ALLIGATORS, designer jeans and button downs were still in style as juniors Yolanda Palmer, David Archie, and sophomores Angie Hicks and Yolanda Wilkinson demonstrate. BELTED SWEATERS and a semi-dressed up look were also popular this year as worn by seniors Hedy Schiller and Michele Heaphy. CONCERT AND PRINTED T-shirts were still a common sight in our halls and have almost become a “classic”. Fashion highs F ashion was brought to a new level this year. For once, we became creative with our attire and designed intriguing and unconventional styles. Warm weather brought stripes, dots, checks, and the “flash dance” look to our halls. This new look consisted of any T-shirt or sweatshirt we could attack with a pair of scissors. Tastefully done sleeves and necklines fell victim to this “anything goes” look. “The only problem I had with my cut shirts was that I couldn’t keep them on my shoulders. They kept falling off,” said junior Charlotte Stacey. Pants were seen in all lengths and printed long-sleeved T-shirts were also a common sight. Sweaters made a big hit this year. Belted, extra-long or layered, sweaters were a “must” in the feminine wardrobe. Lumber jack flan¬ nels and plaids also made a monumen¬ tal comeback this winter. Intriguing fashion didn’t stop at the ankles. Shoes played a major role in style. Vans and deck shoes have become classics, but it was the female population who got inventive. Short heeled pumps, classy sandals, and shoes made of all kinds of material could be seen in our halls and classrooms. Of course we didn’t stop our creative juices flowing with just clothes. Hair was a major fashion accessory in new lengths. Spiked, curly, short, or long, hair was worn in a variety of ways. The “surfers” showed style with the spiked layers, as did the “play boys” with their “almost nothing” hair cuts. Short and permed was fashion¬ able among the ladies as was a new version of the shag. We even saw a “Mohawk” or two trot down the hall. All in all, our new attire helped make us original, but at the same time in step with current fashion trends. Fashion 17 LEATHER CLAD BILLY IDOL hit the charts this year with such songs as “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell.” SINGER BILLY JOEL delighted local crowds with his appearance at Scope in March.

Hit artists top concert agenda M usic! A dominating influence upon the youth of every era, and we were no exception. The emergence of Michael Jack- son as a pop superstar was the highlight of the year. Videos, such as Jackson’s “Thriller,” burst onto the music scene and shaped our musical tastes. From obscure groups to the most popular, video music featured them all. We found ourselves listening to everything from “funk” to “punk.” Local radio stations, as usual, played a major role in the development of our listening habits. Those who were addicts of one music type found themselves changing their radio dials every other month. The local stations, much to the disapproval of the public, changed formats as fast as the seasons came and went. The concert agenda for the area was “hot.” Between the Coliseum, Scope, and William and Mary Hall, Tidewater welcomed some of the best bands in the country. “Duran Duran was the best con¬ cert of the year, and the Kinks a close second,” said junior Beth Hawn. “Luther Vandross was an excellent show,” said junior Rachel Neal. “AC DC! They were great,” ex¬ claimed junior Lisa Tiechman. New artists appeared with new styles, looks, and concepts. Culture Club, probably the most famous of the new groups, shocked the world with lead singer Boy George, and his drag-queen outfits. As the music careers of new artists were being launched, several great artists’ careers ended suddenly. The country was saddened with the loss of such greats as Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys and singer Marvin Gaye. Overall, as the year drew to a close, it was evident that we had enjoyed some of the most talented artist of the times and our musical thirst had been quenched. Music and Concerts 19 SWEEPING UP THE PARK¬ ING LOT is one of senior Scott Seymour’s daily chores at Burger King. “IT’S A SIZE 13!” Senior Debbie Strickland helps senior Donald Guthrie buy a pair of shoes at Kinney’s Shoe Store. SENIOR KIM EARLS shows a customer the latest in jackets at D J’s in Coliseum Mall where she works part-time. “SMILE! LOOK AT THE TEDDY!” The Easter Bunny’s helper, senior Lee-Ann Smith, tries to get a smile out of a reluctant visitor. The part-time experience STARTLED BY THE CAMERA, senior Suzette Elberfeld rushes to fill the fast-food orders at McDonald’s. T he hot smell of bubbling oil and crisp French fries filled the air when the timing buzzer went off, sending senior Julie Lamers rushing over to rescue the golden-brown potatoes from their boiling bath. “I used to love to go to McDon¬ ald’s to eat, but now, since I work there, I can’t stand the food. The smell just gets to you until you are sick of it,” explained Lamers. Julie was one of many students who worked at a part-time job after school. As soon as the final bell rang, many students jumped into their cars and raced off to their respective jobs, ready to earn money that was spent on everything from clothes, to concerts, to college. Not only did they earn money, but they also earned responsibility and independence. Students learned the JUNIOR BETH HUGHES rings up an order in the Drive-Thru at McDonald’s. “WELCOME TO WENDY’S!” Junior Lisa Teichmann greets customers with a friendly smile. value of a dollar and that ‘‘earning a living” is not all fun and games. ‘‘At first the job is great. There’s excitement, independence, and the money starts pouring in. But, after a while, boredom sets in, excitement turns to routine, being independent is more of a nuisance, and the only thing that keeps you going is the money,” said senior Teresa Belcher. The biggest complaint of parents and teachers was that a part-time job cut down on valuable study time. Contrary to this belief, however, most students found that their jobs did not interfere with their school work. Unfortunately, some found that the burden of a job proved to be too much to handle. ‘‘I went off the work schedule because my grades started dropping, and I ended up never going back,” stated senior Nancy Toledo. Adjustments had to be made concerning weekend plans. Many times a concert or a party had to be forsaken for an evening selling shoes or behind the counter of a fast-food store. ‘‘I can’t tonight, I have to work,” was a refrain that one heard quite frequently from working students. The sacrifice was well-worth it, however, when events such as Senior Skip Weekend and the Ring Dance or Prom rolled around. The ‘‘working class” smiled smugly as their fellow students complained about lack of money. Concerts and cars were no problem either, as the students spent their hard-earned money on luxuries that their peers could not always afford. Part-time Jobs 21 ICT provides F or some of our students, school meant “preparing for leadership in the World of Work.’’ Those students were enrolled in Industrial Cooperative Training, a part-time supervised training program that provided on-the-job experiences and related technical instruction. ICT students pursued the regular course requirements for graduation, but also gained experience through the cooperative efforts of business, indus¬ trial and professional establishments. Those enrolled in ICT were at least 16-years-old, a junior or senior, and able to work three hours daily. They received one credit for the classroom instruction and one credit for on-the-job experience. With an average of 40 students enrolled, the average total earnings per year of ICT students was $51,000. “ICT is beneficial to all students in learning things that will last a lifetime,” said junior Wendy Nayadley. Students were employed in diverse areas, including horticulture, cosme- LEARNING ON THE JOB, junior Bobby Whitehouse changes tires as part of his job for Tread Quarters. ENROLL NOW IN ICT!

Mr. David Howard, classroom instructor and ICT coordinator, made a great effort to place each student according to his individual occupational interest. Placement was, of course, dependent upon the availability of training stations in the community. In addition, ICT students gained excellent leadership training as members of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). In job related contests, sponsored by VICA, the following were recognized: Walter Brown won First Place in the Electronic Product Servicing Contest, and the second year class won First Place for its bulletin board entry. ICT was designed primarily for students who planned to enter into full-time employment upon graduation. “ICT can help people get ahead in life by showing them a way to plan for the future,” said junior Thomas Freeman.

T he 651 2 hours between 2:45 Friday afternoon to 8:15 Monday morning were planned and an¬ ticipated throughout the weeks of school by seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike. The word “weekend” conjured up memories of unforgettable parties, four-star movies, and exciting college trips. All of the classes and their notorious weekenders found interest¬ ing and oftimes “illegal” activities to fill their Friday and Saturday nights. When no parties could be found, we fell to haunting Buckroe and Grandview beaches, Gus’s parking lot, the “Spot” off Rip Rap Road, and Gosnold’s Hope Park. Visiting siblings or friends at colleges provided us with an interest¬ ing, exciting taste of college life. Va. Tech, UVA, and JMU, along with the majority of other Virginia colleges, were graced with our eager faces almost weekly. Movies were also a great distrac¬ tion from the hustle and bustle of READY FOR A SHOWER? The Flume is one of the many rides at Busch Gardens that makes for weekend fun when warm weather arrives. weekly school work. James Bond’s new film “Never Say Never Again,” “Terms of Endearment,” “Hotdog,” “Christine,” “The Right Stuff,” and other movies provided us with great entertainment. During the sports seasons, many Friday and Saturday nights were spent cheering our teams to victory. After a game at Darling Stadium, or in our gym, dances sponsored by the Junior and Sophomore Classes, cheerleaders, or other clubs were special occasions. The most memorable weekends were those filled with parties. Out of town parents, holidays, or any other excuse we could think of were just cause for celebration. Although the morning after was filled with cleaning up the wreckage, our parties were well worth the trouble. Two weekends that will always be remembered were April 14 and May 24. These were the long awaited Junior Ring Dance and Senior Prom weekends. Ah, weekends! What would high school have been like without them?

Sounds like a word from another language, but it is really artist Keith Turner’s pen name. Just who is Keith Turner? This 17-year-old senior was usual¬ ly quiet until he got pen and paper in hand. That is when he could get radically outspoken, spurring letters- to-the-editor written in protest of a flaming British flag. In doing illustrations for the paper and drawing cartoons to amuse friends, Keith rarely had a day go by without someone saying, “Draw me a picture!” Students agreed that Turner’s wit was often right on target and his perception of people and the world around us was almost brutally accur¬ ate. “His cartoons are really good and really add something to the paper,” said senior Kathy Moore. Sophomore J. R. Lippus agreed and added, “He should continue as a cartoonist for a future in newspaper.” That advice fit in well with Turner’s future plans for he would like to “be a political cartoonist, or something like that.” He received plenty of practice while doing pastel drawings at Busch Gardens Theme Park, where he was also trained in doing caricatures. Accepted to James Madison University, he planned a major in Liberal Arts in order to “gain insight into the aspects of human life.” ARTISTE EXTRAORDINAIRE, Keith “Weef’ Turner spends another fifth period at the drawing board. 26 Weef r WElC6 fte TO NlW K)Eialffi.Htt D, 60Y5 AMD CJRL5.

Our students, naturally, did things in groups, on teams, and in classes. We were a friendly group. Whether it was a comrade, a chum, a beat friend, or that special someone, we shared our good and bad times. Our friends performed a variety of functions; laughing and joking, helping each other study, consoling in times of trouble, partying together, and filling us in on the surprise quiz next period. Yes, we put our friends through many crises. Remember “Twin Day,” when your friend was the one who wanted you to appear as ducks? Or, how about the daily borrowing of lunch money? But, our friends held out through the stressful times. After all, what is a friend? Senior Richard Johnson said, “A crazy partner who can take a joke.” Senior Kay Back puts it eloquently, “A friendship is like a taco. The more you put into it, the more you take out.” Friendship is a trust, a kind of unwritten, unspoken contract. This makes it easier to repair when breached. All around the school, we saw the groups, the teams, the couples, and noticed the camaraderie of our classmates. SENIOR DAVID MONTGOMERY and senior Tina Cox were one of the many couples seen “close together” at school during the year.

For many students, Campus Life was an important part of ‘‘student life,” giving them a sense of purpose and providing them with social activities. Some of the fun included a skiing trip, flag football, softball, Burger Bashes, group-oriented games and projects, and weekly meetings with friends. ‘‘Ever since I started going to Campus Life, everything has gone uphill,” said junior Karen Hundley. Campus Life, a branch of the Youth for Christ organization, helped students to meet th e challenges and responsibilities of everyday life. It built respect for self, others, academic achievement, the home, and fostered a personal faith. According to Poh, ‘‘Campus Life provides a lot of activities that are alternatives to other things popular with kids today, such as drugs and alcohol.” Weekly meetings at 7:27 p.m. in Willow Oaks Community Center offered students camaraderie and a chance to discuss teen-related problems and issues. For some troubled teens, Campus Life provided a refuge, but for the majority of students who participat¬ ed, the social aspects and the reinfor¬ cement of a positive attitude were the most important benefits of member¬ ship.

In addition to the Homecoming game against the Denbigh Patriots, the announcement of the Homecoming Queen and her court during halftime culminated the anticipation and enthu¬ siasm that accompanied Spirit Week. Dynamic and full of confidence, the Warriors went into halftime leading the Patriots by a narrow margin of six points. The Homecoming halftime show commenced as the Honor Guard took its place on the gymnasium floor. Anticipation mounted as SCA Chaplain Gail Fanning proudly an¬ nounced the Homecoming court. The sophomore attendants were Jeanell Gray and Kim Irick; the junior attendants were Heather Anderson and Tina Steele. The senior attendants were Jennifer Boswell, Teresa Harper and Allison Pokorny. The long-awaited moment, the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, finally arrived. When Gail Fanning announced that the Homecom¬ ing Queen was Allison Pokorny, the crowd was on its feet and cheering madly. Allison was crowned by SCA Vice President Linda Redcross and presented flowers by SCA Treasurer Michelle Wilkins. After the halftime show, everyone was hoping for a rousing victory, but their hopes were dashed as the Warriors were defeated by the Denbigh Patriots, 66-72. Junior Suzanne Campbell summed up the fans’ general feelings when she said, “Losing to Denbigh was a bummer because everyone was so spirited and enthusiastic.’’ The halftime show had been a bright spot during the game, and there was still the Homecoming dance to look forward to after the game.

T he curtains rose, the stage lights switched on, revealing 12 girls dressed in “Flashdance” attire dancing to “What A Feeling.” After the opening number, excited, nervous contestants ran backstage breathlessly. “I was running behind the stage, and I tripped on one of the risers and ran my hose,” said junior Laura Reed. Various problems backstage had no effect on the pageant, however, thanks to the efforts of Mistress of Ceremonies, Eileen Strickland. Ultimately, the five finalists, Grace Han, Kelly Steinmetz, Melvine O’Garro, Tracey Neale, and Kris Neilson pre¬ sented their talent. Another quick change backstage, and contestants were ready to show off formal gowns and handsome escorts. After all the girls took their places on the stage, the five finalists were interviewed briefly. A few minutes of deliberation, and the judges made their decision. Miss Congeniality was Myrtle Thomas, Kelly Steinmetz was named both Most Talented and Most Dedicated. Second runner-up was Tracey Neale, and First runner-up was Kris Neilson. The long awaited moment was at hand. Eileen Strickland stepped up to the mike and announced, “Miss KHS of 1984 is ... Kelly Steinmetz!” Applause rang out as a beaming Steinmetz stepped out to be crowned by last year’s winner Susan Lilley Moore. “This has been an experience I will never forget,” said Steinmetz. “It has been a pleasure winning and being Miss KHS.” DURING ONE OF THE MANY PRACTICE SESSIONS, Master of Ceremonies Bill Hailey and Mistress of Ceremonies Eileen Strickland, review their scripts for the pageant.

SHARING A CONGRATULATORY DANCE, Prom Queen Nancy Toledo embraces King Jeff Barnes. DANCING TO THE MUSIC OF THE STATES, Nancy Toledo and escort Jimmy Fioca share a speical moment. ' Some enchanted evening’ lowers, dim lights, music Lovely ladies in gowns, drifting by on the arms of elegantly suited escorts. Prom and Ring Dance were the top social events of the year. The Junior Ring Dance was held in the cafeteria the evening of April 14. Although a storm raged outdoors, spirits could not be dampened indoors. Dancing and socializing to the back¬ ground music of Night Cruise, couples participated in a tradition started when the school opened in 1964. Since there was no senior class that first year, a Ring Dance was created so the juniors could have a special occasion to celebrate receiving their class rings. Towards the end of the night, the juniors formed a big circle and together “locked” their rings. The seniors special night was May 24 at the Hotel Chamberlain. Couples arrived in colorful gowns and tuxedos, reminiscent of “Gone With the Wind.” Upstairs in the Virginia Room, national recording artists the States played to a receptive crowd. Students talked, danced and went out on the terrace, awaiting the “big event,” the crowning of the King and Queen. Senior Kaye Brown announced the winners (voted on by those attending) Jeff Barnes and Nancy Toledo. The theme song, “We’re Going All the Way,” played and couples resumed dancing. “My Senior Prom was full of memories because I went with someone very special, Rodney Jones. It was certainly a night to remember,” said senior Kim Barclift. Flowers, dim lights, girls drifting by with their escorts. Stardust memories, making for two truly enchanted evenings. THE AGE-OLD TRADITION of “ring locking” is performed by juniors Eddie Crews and Gianina Shinpaugh.

Elected Governor of Boys’ State in 1983, senior Randall Reed was the first student from any Hampton school to receive this coveted honor. As one of over 600 delegates, all outstanding rising seniors from Virginia high schools, Reed led his successful campaign for the office of Governor while at Boys’ State in Lynchburg. With test scores in the top-half of one per cent of all those participating, senior Tammy Coffey earned National Merit Finalist status. The national competition was based on standard¬ ized test scores across the nation. Coffey won a four year scholarship to Virginia Tech. President of the Senior Class and President of Kecoughtan’s DECA Chapter, Kenny Coffey was a delegate to the DECA State Leade rship Confer¬ ence. He was one of six finalists in the Student-of-the Year competition, and was elected Virginia DECA President for ’84-’85 at the conclusion of the conference. In state competition, Cof¬ fey won First Place in Apparel and Accessories, Supervisory Level. Senior Michele Heaphy, valedicto¬ rian of the class and a featured soloist in the Harbor Lights Show Choir, was one of few students to be selected for Honors Chorus. Students from across the state of Virginia competed for this honor by participating in a difficult audition. Delegates to Presidential Class¬ room for Young Americans, a pres¬ tigious seminar held in Washington, D.C., were seniors Bill Hatchett, Jack Kayton, and Jeri Moxley. The three spent a week observing the federal government at work, along with students from other states. Juniors selected to attend the Governor’s School for the Gifted at Mary Washington College in Freder¬ icksburg, and Virginia Tech in Blacks¬ burg were Grace Han, Mike Jones, Melissa Pokorny, and Gianina Shin- paugh. Students competed statewide for recognition. 38 Top Achievers AS SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT, Kenny Coffey reads announcements during the Miss KHS Pageant, sponsored by the Senior Class.

STUDYING HARD AS USUAL, National Merit Finalist Tammy Coffey revises her research paper in A. P. English. Standardized test scores of Hampton students were high¬ er than any other urban school dis¬ trict in the state of Virginia. The SR A scores in particular were better than the national aver¬ age. Dr. Donald Musselman Superintendent of Schools Musselman ranks schools as an ‘8’ £ { rying to maintain stability within the school system” has been the most important accomplishment during the 1983-’84 school year, according to Superinten¬ dent of Hampton City Schools Donald Musselman. Musselman said he was ‘‘most proud” of teachers and staff m embers working together trying to make the school year a success. ‘‘From what I saw, the teachers, and the people I’ve talked to in the community think this year has been a great success,” said Musselman. Musselman thinks success can be attributed to the education Hampton students received during the year- competitive with the national average. “Once the teachers see Hampton’s SRA scores, they are going to say we are doing a good job,’ said Mussel¬ man. The State Board of Education also put out a report during the school year that ranked Hampton schools as second statewide in the number of high school graduates being accepted to colleges and institutions of higher learning. Even though he sees room for improvement, Musselman thinks Hampton’s discipline program is better than those of other school systems. Concerning discipline, Musselman said, ‘‘Visitors to our school system seemed pleased with what they saw.” On a scale of one to ten, Musselman rated Hampton schools as an eight.” I think we accomplished almost everything we set out to accomplish,” said Musselman. Among the major successful ac¬ complishments during the year were the implementations of a new English curriculum, three different diplomas, and a full day course load proposal for secondary students, effective in the fall of 1984. A staff survey revealed that most teachers were pleased with the new grade level English curriculum, and looked forward to more revisions and improvements. The State Board of Education also established the opportunity to receive a Governor’s Seal, 22 credit diploma for advanced students. Hampton also proposed a 22 credit diploma of its own that goes beyond the state’s minimum 20 credit diploma. The State Department of Education approved a requirement for all secon¬ dary students to take six classes or five and a study hall. In addition to this requirement, the department issued a mandate prohibiting participation in extra-curricular activities until a student completes five and one-half hours of school, effective in the fall of 1984. This mandate put the entire Hampton 40 Interview SENIOR CURTIS LEPPA prepares a 3-D drawing for a mechanical drawing assignment. More attention was given to vocational education by Superintendent Musselman during the ’83-’84 school year. extra-curricular program in a state of • jeopardy. Among other accomplishments in secondary education was the final approval of a middle school plan after four years of administrative haggling. Taking effect in 1985, the middle school plan will reduce disciplinary problems commonly found in junior high schools, according to Musselman. Most middle school plans involve the addition of ninth graders to high schools, and sixth I through eighth graders attending mid¬ dle schools. New plans were also made for increased teacher participation in future curriculum development. Musselman wanted advisory committees for each subject area. Elective courses in secondary schools were no longer required to be weighted in order to encourage honor students to take elective courses that would ordinarily have brought their class rank down, because of a lower rating. New plans were made during the year to improve vocational education and disciplinary correction schools. The purpose was to straighten out junior high troublemakers and problem students before they enter high school. A drug awareness program was also made available in Hampton schools. “There are many more things out there we want to strive for and accomplish,’’ said Musselman. Among them were teacher salar¬ ies. Hampton schools dropped to the bottom 25 percent category in the state for teacher salaries. The Hampton administration asserted that “quality education depends upon quality teachers who need quality pay.’’ Musselman said that Hampton must also increase the attention given to special education, alternative pro¬ grams for the talented and trouble¬ some, and community participation in schools. “Research says an effective school is one with an effective leader, a large PTA turnout, and high expecta¬ tions from teachers and principals,” said Musselman. Responding to the critical “Nation at Risk” report released by President Reagan’s education commission in April of 1983, Musselman said Hamp- DISCUSSING THE ASSIGNMENT, soph¬ omores Chad Ritenour, Misty Johnson, Scott Bridegam, and Amy Fegter enjoying working in a group, an integral part of the new English curriculum. ton schools exceeded and met most of the criteria stated in the report for improving schools. Musselman said he does not agree with the report’s assertions that American public education is inferior to schools in other countries, or simply mediocre. “I think across the nation efforts are being made to stress the basics more and more,” said Musselman. “Hampton schools have already done most of the things the report recom¬ mended.” Musselman said he strongly sup¬ ports “back to basics” education. “I think the three R’s are the backbone of instruction,” said Mussel¬ man. “Research has proven across the nation, the schools selected for being effective had teachers and administra¬ tors who paid particular attention to the basic academic subjects.” Musselman also emphasized a need to find more productive and efficient ways to use school time. Hampton schools ranked second statewide in the number of high school graduates being accepted to colleges and institutions of higher learning. Overall, Musselman thinks schools would be better off if they were not held responsible for all of the social ills. “The government not only expects us to be educators, but they also want us to be psychologist, priest, social worker, and all things for all people.” Despite Hampton’s noteworthy record of success for the year, Musselman thought more attention should have been given to public relations. “I haven’t done everything I wanted to this year,” said Musselman. “I haven’t gotten the word out to the community. Public relations will need high priority in the future.” JUNIORS AMY DAVIS AND FRANCINE JACOBS take the SRA test in the cafeteria. SRA scores for Hampton students are significantly higher than the national average. KEEPING IN TIME to Christ¬ mas music, the award winning Warrior band marches down Mer¬ cury Boulevard in the annual Hampton Christmas Parade. 42 Organizations Organizations Members share benefits F or most of us, memories were made and experiences shared by participating in one or more of the numerous clubs and activities in the school. Energetic members and sponsors earned national, state and local recognition for outstanding efforts. From “first places” for the band and NJROTC to top ratings and trophies for publications, our extra-curricular clubs and organizations proved again that Warriors were the “best-all-around.” Sacrificing precious moments of sleep, students came to school early to attend meetings or stayed long hours after school. Tireless club members hawked flowers, candy and tee-shirts to raise money for activities. Each club sent a representative to ICC (Inter-Club Council) meetings to plan projects to help the community as well as the school. All clubs combined efforts to make the Thanksgiving baskets, the Adopt- a-Family and the Salvation Army projects a success. New friends, field trips, and a sense of being an important part of the student body were the benefits gained by participating in a club.

One such act of charity was the donation of Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. - School spirit top priority of SCA officers £ C ur goal was to increase I 1 student involvement by providing more student- oriented programs,” said SCA Pre¬ sident Randall Reed. Sock hops, pep rallies, dances, and contests were some of the projects undertaken by the SCA. Officers also organized Thanksgiving and Christmas charities for needy families. Pep rallies were anything but dull. Teacher cheerleaders, captained by Mrs. Alberta Boyd, and a revival of the Miss Gorgeous Green and White contest were just two of the special events that made pep rallies success¬ ful. School spirit was a top priority of the SCA. “Spirit Week” tested the loyalty of students with such antics as dressing up as punkrockers, celebri¬ ties, and high school students of the ’50’s. “The first Back-to-School dance, all of our pep rallies, and both football and basketball homecomings were highly successful,” said Reed. Other officers in the SCA contribut¬ ed a great deal to the success of the year’s activities. “We work as a single group in order to get our tasks done successfully,” said Vice President Linda Redcross. The SCA officers were highly motivated and, as Reed ex¬ plained, “Kecoughtan is fortunate to have such a staff. This was acknow¬ ledged by the other SCA officers from Bethel, Hampton, and Phoebus when we hosted them at an exchange meeting.” The SCA culminated the year’s activities with a Blood Drive in March.

The band has a tradition of ‘‘doin’ Kecoughtan proud” and 1983-’84 was no exception. The 75 piece band led by senior Drum Majors Rodney Hamm and Michele Heaphy, and junior Gary Rock successfully captured first place for ‘‘Best Band” in the Phoebus Day Parade. The band also helped to keep school spirit high in all home football games and pep rallies, and represented Kecoughtan in the Hampton Institute Homecoming Parade and the Hampton Christmas Day Parade. A highlight of the band’s year was the arrival of an exchange band from Boston, Massa¬ chusetts. The students from Appnequet High School first visited Kecoughtan, and the Warriors returned the visit along with a side trip to New York City to see a Broadway play and do a little sightseeing. Concerts involving the combined bands were given in both Hampton and Boston. Even with a very busy concert schedule, the band was able to give its usual excellent performance at both the Winter and Spring Concerts. It also presented the annual fund-raising Pops Concert and participated in the Monster Band, a band composed of all city high school bands. The band also gave a performance to help raise money for the Daily Press Times Herald Christ¬ mas Fund. ‘‘I hated it when we had to practice in the heat before school started, but the performances were fun,” said one band member. “Band Director Mr. Fred Pendergraft was tough, but did an excellent job as always,” she added.

The three groups spent countless hours practicing after school to achieve perfection. “Being a majorette is exciting in many ways. It has given me confidence and most of all I like learning new skills and routines. Being a majorette also means teaching others and sharing your skills with someone else. But, best of all, I like performing in the football games. It makes me feel important,” said junior Valerie Langley, captain of the majorettes. The majorettes and flagtwirlers performed with the band during halftime ceremonies at football games. The girls practiced during the summer and after school to perfect routines and to teach each other special skills to highlight performances. One such performance was with Drum Major Rodney Hamm to “Beat It” by Michael Jackson. “Our purpose was to help the cheerleaders arouse the spirit of the crowd,” stated senior Pep Club member Susan Meads. Members made posters and signs for pep rallies and games and turned up faithfully to cheer for the team. Mrs. Francis Hardy and Mrs. Faye Stevens were sponsors of the flagtwirlers and majorettes, and Mrs. Oreta Watkins was sponsor of the Pep Club.

ROTC has the right stuff A bove the collar haircuts and sharp black uniforms designated members of NJROTC. Responsi¬ ble and self-disciplined cadets developed an understanding of what it takes to be part of America’s Armed Forces. The Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps provided naval knowledge and after-school activities such as the Drill Team, Rifle Team, and 2nd Standard Platoon. “NJROTC’s Rifle Team is a great way to experience the feel of a real weapon,” claimed POI Daniel Yohn. The annual raffle provided funds for Boys’ and Girls’ State delegates (last year’s delegate Randall Reed was elected governor of Boys’ State) along with other NJROTC projects. The first prize was $500 and second prize was $250. ‘‘Usually, everyone sells with the Ball in mind,” said Cadet Lt. Com¬ mander Randall Reed. Displaying precision marching and rifle maneuvers, members of the NJROTC took part in such festivities as the Homecoming Parade, the Hampton Christmas Parade, and the Newport News Spring Thing Parade. Worthy- cadets enjoyed short voyages aboard naval ships. A special night to remember was the NJROTC Banquet and Ball. ‘‘I always look forward to the dancing,” said Ensign Daniel Whitworth. Outstanding members were eligible for scholarships such as Naval Academy and ROTC. ‘‘If you want to learn discipline and self-respect, this is the place to be,” said junior Steven Wesen. Naval Science instructor Lt. Com¬ mander Kinsey and assistant instructor Senior Chief Spriggs helped the cadets to become responsible citizens, no matter what career choice they made. ‘‘I think everyone should try the program, at least one year, to become more mature and to learn more about life,” stated POI Mitch Monroe.

Serving the school and community was the major objective of both the Key Club and Keyettes. Membership was not easily achieved, however. Ap¬ plicants had to have a ”C” average and be recommended by one or more teachers. Initiations were bizarre cere¬ monies. ‘‘Initiation into the Key Club is tough,” said Scott Seymour, president of the Key Club. Prospective Key Clubbers had food pelted at them, were slaves for a day to former Key Club members, and pulled the club’s car during the football homecoming parade. Keyettes were dragged out of bed early one Saturday morning, taken to McDonald’s for breakfast in their pajamas and robes. Then, they jogged around the track with the football players. In addition to the fun, members participated in many community projects. They served as ushers at the Hampton city-wide concert at Christ¬ mas, donated Thanksgiving baskets Kyle Olsen, Michele Wilkins, Craig Parady.

Keyettes also collected money for SIDS and assisted in both blood drives. Keyettes sold candy grams on special holidays, spirit buttons for homecoming games, and personalized buttons for students. Key Clubbers sold candy and donuts, and both clubs worked on the Clean and Green campaign. JUNIOR MELISSA POKORNY listens atten¬ tively to the Key Club’s proposals for future fund raisers. SENIORS CHERYL LUCAS, Hedy Schiller and Keyette President Susan Ehnes discuss ideas for a new community project before a Keyette meeting. -Students desire membership in honor society S cholarship. Character. Leader¬ ship. Service. Those four quali¬ ties are the foundation of the National Honor Society. Membership is one of the highest honors a high school student can receive. In order to become a member of the Kecoughtan chapter, a student must be at least a rising senior with a 7.75 weighted grade point average. After the first set of requirements is fulfilled, candidates must submit recommendations to support their character, leadership, and service qualifications. “I felt very honored to be accepted into the Honor Society, and being a member makes me feel good about myself. I worked so hard, and, in the end, it paid off,” said senior Maria Murphy. After being initiated in May of 1983, the junior members met to select officers. President of the ’83-’84 chapter was senior Bill Hatchett. Senior Michele Heaphy was vice president, and seniors Hedy Schiller and Jeri Moxley were secretary and treasurer, respectively. I’m not only honored to be a member of the society, but also to hold office. It didn’t take us long to get some changes made,” said Schiller. “We finally got a more active honor society and we were pleased to have a part in raising the level of school spirit. I just hope it continues next year,” said Hatchett. As their major project of the year, members sold senior class T-shirts to boost spirit and increase their treasury. Members also held the traditional doughnut sale, went to the Tidewater Dinner Theater, and helped the Special Olympics. “This has been a fruitful year to work with students who have been committed to our purpose,” said sponsor Mrs. Alberta Boyd.

Choral groups become musical ambassadors O n any typical morning, fall, winter, or spring, AB Hall was “alive with the sound of music.” Voices wafted down emptied halls as one, or all, of the choral groups practiced numbers for another public appearance. Although only enjoyed by students a few times during the year, choral members became musical am¬ bassadors for the school by performing for the public on numerous occasions. “We worked hard choreographing our own moves,” said junior Ed Crews, a member of Harbor Lights Ensemble. “We worked to be number one in competition.” The four groups, Mixed Chorus, A Cappella Choir, A Touch of Jade, and Harbor Lights, were kept busy rehears¬ ing for All-City Chorus, trying out for Regional and State Choruses, and polishing routines for competition. The public caught its first glimpse of the choral groups at the Variety Show in October. The audience was treated to performances by each of the groups and several individual acts. “After all the work and rehearsals, the performances are very rewarding,” said senior Jeri Moxley. To celebrate Christmas, the department presented its annual school Christmas concert and also performed with other Hampton schools in the All-City Christmas Concert at the Coliseum. Harbor Lights and Touch of Jade also taped performances for Channel 29. The shows were on the air throughout the ho lidays. Individuals also earned their share of honors. Senior Michele Heaphy was the only member to make Honor Chorus, but 23 voices went to Glouces¬ ter High School in February to perform in the Regional Chorus. Heaphy, Denise Yuengert, and Jared Wilson were selected for State Chorus. In March, Harbor Lights performed for Hampton Education Week in Coliseum Mall and participated in competition in Lynchburg. In April, local high schools performed together again for an All-City Concert, noted for its 12 difficult pieces. The choirs combined talents once again to perform at the annual Spring Concert in May, and Harbor Lights performed at King’s Dominion. The choral groups rounded out activities with a performance at the Baccalaureate service in June. TOUCH OF JADE - Top Row: Cassandra Vann, Jenny Heck, Dionne Trapp, Tracey Dawkins, Suzanne Campbell.

The banquet tables were heaped with foods from many cultures. The feast consisted of German pret¬ zels, potatoes ‘n’ sauerkraut, and red cabbage; Spanish nachos with melted cheese, and olives; French bread, eclairs, quiche, sugar cookies, ham and cheese; and Latin salads, to name just a few tasty dishes. It was the Foreign Language Banquet in celebration of Foreign Language Week. Latin may be an unspoken lan¬ guage, but the activities of the Latin Club were far from dead. During the spring, the Latin Club members took their annual trip to New York City. While Club members food, customs there, they visited the famous Me¬ tropolitan Museum and also viewed a Broadway play. The Latin Club and sponsor Mrs. Joyce Frazier did not forget the graduating seniors; they threw a May Pizza party to help the upperclassmen “live it up” before the caps flew and diplomas were framed. The French Club rose to almost every occasion, participating in the Homecoming Parade, both SCA projects at Thanksgiving and Christ¬ mas, and doing its share during Foreign Language Week. Members hung a banner over Mercury Boulevard at the Space park proclaiming Foreign Lan¬ guage Week to all who passed by. continued on page 60 “IS THIS STRAIGHT?” Junior Lisa Thames asks sophomore Maria Mirabella while hanging posters in the cafeteria for Foreign Language Week.

Their generosi¬ ty did not stop there, for they also gave $10 to the United Way. A highlight of the year was enjoying a meal at Chi-Chi’s in the company of their families and friends. Winning the Thanksgiving basket contest for the “Most Food Stuffs” started off a year of busy activities for the large, energetic German Club. The highlight of the year was a weekend in Washington, D.C. April 6 and 7. BEING ESCORTED from one building to another is a task that seniors Teresa Hayes and Eric Wishon find mutually enjoyable in Washing¬ ton. German Club advisor Mr. James Horne commented that, “It was a good trip because we didn’t lose anyone.” The senior members of the Ger¬ man Club ate dinner at a German restaurant. Among the other places the members visited were Georgetown, the Smithsonian Institute and the Washing¬ ton Monument. “This trip was definitely an unfor¬ gettable experience,” said sophomore Leslie Roberts. The club travels to Washington every year, but according to President Dan Lacy, “It was the best trip to Washington that the club has taken.” ENJOYING THE SCENERY, junior Marcia Ricketson and senior Teresa Hayes perch on a limb of a cherry tree near the Washington Monument.

We have too much to do for you to be fooling around!” And so it went in CD 26 where a Garfield poster greeted you with “Welcome to the Funny Farm.” After being separate groups for the last 19 years, the staffs of the newspaper and the yearbook became one. For the first time, students in Journalism II were responsible for layout, writing, advertis¬ ing, and sales for both publications. Whenever a deadline approached, crashes, screams, and orders were emitted fr om practically every staff member, especially Bill Hatchett, editor of TRIBAL TALES, and Lee-Ann Smith, editor of TOMAHAWK. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun,” said Hatchett. “When deadline comes JUNIOR MARTI FOXWELL strives for perfection as she finishes the NJROTC layout for the yearbook.

TRIBAL TALES TOMAHAWK 63 A continuing struggle for perfection Continued from page 62 semester from juniors Jeff Cleveland and Tracey Dawkins. In November, although TRIBAL TALES had won the Edmond C. Arnold award for typography at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a First Place from Virginia High School League, the staff made radical changes in format and style. Pages were shorter, datelines were changed, the Editorial page was moved to page four, and the paper was printed on newsprint by the Virginia Gazette in Williamsburg. “We’d made changes in the past, but nothing very significant. Since we weren’t really going anywhere, we decided the best thing to do would be to change everything ... except quality,” said Hatchett. Publishing a yearbook, in addition to the newspaper, was no easy task. Hundreds of photos had to be taken, dozens of stories written, and over 200 pages designed. Work began before school started in August and did not end until two weeks after graduation in June. “Working on both the yearbook and the newspaper is hard,” said TOMAHAWK editor Lee-Ann Smith. “But, despite all the complaining, it really is fun.” Mrs. Joel Grimm; adviser to TRIBAL TALES for the past 19 years, learned about yearbook publication along with her students. “My life was one constant deadline. I even dreamed about yearbook layouts. However, we all learned a lot and I had a great group to work with. I loved it! Publications get in your blood.” Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, TORCH adviser, was also co-adviser for the TOMAHAWK. When deadlines were coming due, Mrs. Dawkins joined the staff to complete layouts. “Even though I was overwhelmed by the intricacies of layout, watching me struggle was a pleasure for my AP English students. Eventually, after much laughter, they taught me how to complete a layout.” Students joined the publications staff for various reasons, but no matter what the motivation, they gained a sense of what life will be like in the work place after they end their schooling, “the real world,” as they were fond of saying. They received experience with a chain of command, deadlines, and last minute road blocks. When they hear “Get busy and get to work,” they will know what it means.

TRIBAL TALES TOMAHAWK 65 “IS ANYTHING MISSPELLED?” Senior Kay Back carefully proofreads copy submitted for the TORCH. -TORCH staff publishes creative efforts I n June, the efforts and hard work of volunteer staffers jelled to produce the TORCH, a collection of prose, poetry, and artwork, all original work of our students. The magazine displayed the liter¬ ary and artistic talent of students, edited and displayed in the pages of the magazine by the staff. “A member of TORCH has to be responsible,” said senior Robin Falken- stein. “The work is long and tedious. It takes a lot of motivation to get things done.” The staff met periodically after school when co-editors Michele Heaphy and Hedy Schiller planned layouts and edited copy. Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins served as the adviser and encouraged all efforts of the staff. Every member had the chore of selecting new material from the many submiss ions. Fund raising was also a pressing problem, since staffers had to earn most of the money for the publication. They sold candy, distributed flowers, and sold T-shirts in order to raise money. Copy came from several sources. Most often, teachers sent in particularly good papers. Occasionally, students brought in their own work, especially art students. Sometimes, members of the TORCH staff requested that the teachers assign a certain topic to students. The staff analyzed the material, keeping a sharp eye out for originality and adherence to theme. All in all, working on the TORCH was a rewarding experience. Members of the staff learned a great deal about literature and layout. “The TORCH offers a good op¬ portunity to gain knowledge and good judgment of writing,” said junior Grace Han.

H ave you ever wondered about the familiar faces behind the counters, cash registers, and aprons in some of your favorite stores and restaurants? Many of those people were members of DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America. Throughout the year, DECA par¬ ticipated in many fund raisers, teleth¬ ons, and conferences for causes such as Muscular Dystrophy and the Clean City Commission of Hampton. Along with learning the art of job interviewing and how to be employed in the “working person’s world,” DECA students got first hand experience. J. C. Penney, McDonald’s, Spencer’s Gifts, and Farm Fresh were all graced with employees from DECA. DECA members showed their dedication answering phones for the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon at Coli¬ seum Mall around the clock. On Labor Day, they collected $300 for M.D. at Willow Oaks Mall. DECA coordinator Mrs. Pam Szynal was satisfied with the program. An advisor for 13 years, she believed DECA was the best. “DECA is an excellent program, because it shows you what you taught your students. It also gives them a head start on finding employment in the competitive job market,” said Szynal. Several DECA members attended the 41st Annual State Leadership Conference held in Roanoke, Virginia, March 23-25. High school students from the state competed in contests based on their distributive education curriculum and on-the-job training. Outstanding competitors were sen¬ iors Kenny Coffey, who was elected Virginia DECA President for 1984-’85, and junior Marnica Blizzard who placed first in the overall series for the Employee level. The year would not have been complete without the City-Wide Em¬ ployer Appreciation Luncheon at the Fort Monroe Officers’ Club, and the end of the year Awards Banquet for outstanding members.

In the end there were many extra chairs. What started as a fireball became a candle flame. But, this did not daunt the loyal few. Inspired by senior president Kevin Valliant, the club produced two full- length plays and still had time for other activities. The first major event for members was to participate in a Haunted House sponsored by Jaycees. “It was a lot of fun doing the Haunted House. A lot of little kids came through and it was neat trying to scare them,” said sophomore Jennifer Bliley. Practice and rehearsals began in November for “Charley’s Aunt,” a comedy by Brandon Thomas. The play was chosen from suggested titles by the club members. “My old school was going to do ' Charley’s Aunt.’ My director had picked it out for me, so I figured now was the time to do it,” said Valliant, who directed the play and also had a leading role. After “Charley’s Aunt,” members barely had time to breathe before work on “Big Sweet,” directed by senior Robin Falkenstein, began. “This was only the second time ' Big Sweet’ has been performed anywhere, and it was fun doing it,” said sophomore Chris Holloway, who played the lead. In May, 12 members were eligible for membership in the International Thespian Society. The induction cer¬ emony was a happy way to end a busy “up and down” year.

Members of both organiza¬ tions were students enrolled in home economics or business classes. FHA, a state and national organiza¬ tion, selected “Making the Most of Yourself” as a theme for the year. Members participated in varied activi¬ ties from dances, fashion shows, picnics, fund-raising activities, to keeping the “Spirit Thermometer” in the cafeteria during Spirit Week. “FHA has given me a chance to achieve the business goals that I will need later in life,” said FHA President Shauna Calhoun. “FHA has helped me grow as a person in general.” FBLA members sold candy, prepared a Thanksgiving basket, and participated in the fall Conference for Future Business Leaders of America at Thomas Nelson Community College. “By going to the meetings and conferences, it has helped me to learn about little things such as competition that will help me move ahead in the business world,” said Historian Susan Ehnes. “I hope to see more people involved in FBLA activities in future years. It’s a very beneficial club to belong to,” said Ehnes. FBLA PRESIDENT RITA CHARNICK conducts a meeting in the classroom.

Directly across the room from me, two judges scrutinized my every action with deadpan faces. I swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and began to read .. Once again, the Forensics Club had created another great orator. Forensics, an interschool competi¬ tive program of public speaking, prose and poetry reading, and oral spelling, helped members gain confidence in themselves. “The purpose is t o give students experience in speaking and reciting,” said Mrs. Sara Alligood, sponsor of the Forensics Club. Forensic is a term that means “a reading or speech suitable for public debate.” The word goes back to ancient Romans when public speakers assembled in a forum or marketplace. Today, learning to speak effectively is often not considered important, but members of the Forensics Club are an exception. During the fall and early winter, members prepared for the in-school competition. Whether spelling words, reciting poetry, reading prose, or presenting a speech, preparation required much patience and repetition. Every Thursday after school, dedicated club members gathered together to read piece after literary piece. Much time was spent critiquing and suggest¬ ing styles and techniques in order to better each member’s ability. Finally, with a specific presentation in mind, each competitor used every opportune moment strenuously reviewing or perfecting his or her work. In January, first place winners of the in-school competition moved on to the District Meet. Forming the Kecoughtan Forensics Team, contes¬ tants displayed talent and determina¬ tion. Senior Randall Reed earned the position of Third in the District. “I enjoy going to the District Meets,” said senior Jeri Moxley, a prose-reading competitor. “It’s a good way to meet people and have fun.” Reading and speaking aloud in front of other people helped students learn how to present themselves. It also developed expression and communication abilities. The Forensics Club was a first step in learning how to handle future opinionated confronta¬ tions. “This year, I got to experience new fields in Forensics by working with other people,” said Reed. “Instead of concentrating on prepared oratory, I had to learn about extemporaneous oratory and prose reading. In this way, I learned a lot about spoken expres¬ sion.” SPONSOR MRS. SARA ALLIGOOD gives some helpful advice to juniors Jeff Burkett and Mike Jones.

They usually struck silently, slipping a pass to the teacher to get so-’n-so with the messed up schedule out of class, or with final notices to those with overdue books. Students receiving notices occasionally found that an aide had graced their note with a simple drawing. Officially, student aides were responsible for filing, writing notices, and running errands. Audio-visual aides assisted teachers with complicat¬ ed video equipment. Library aides helped students find information and made sure books were put back properly. Aides in the deans’ offices made phone calls and tracked down absentee students. “Student aides unselfishly volun¬ teer their time by working in school offices. This assistance benefits the school and is also a learning exper¬ ience for them,” said Mrs. Shirley Booth, dean of girls. The Library Club celebrated Na¬ tional Library Week by serving refresh¬ ments to faculty members. During Reading Month, members read to people at Hampton Convalescent Home, the School for the Deaf and Blind, and kindergarteners at Smith Elementary School. “We really appreciate the hard work that all of the library and audio-visual aides do for us, the faculty and the students. We would not be able to help nearly as many people if it were not for the aides,” said Miss Nancy Spain, head librarian.

For yearbook photographers, a thousand pictures were worth a small fortune in terms of time and effort involved in fulfilling picture requests. Head photographer Matt Dair, in charge of darkroom and chief developer and printer, spent hundreds of hours perfecting darkroom tech¬ niques and printing hundreds of pictures to comply with the continuing demand for excellence from advisers and editors. “Without the varied talents of Matt, there is no way we would have ever gotten the book off the ground,” said Lee-Ann Smith, editor of the TOMAHAWK. “Matt and all of the photographers were basic to both publications,” said Mrs. Joel Grimm, adviser. “His exper¬ tise, and hard work made both TRIBAL TALES and TOMAHAWK quality pub¬ lications,” she added. HANGING UP TO DRY. Contact sheets provided page editors and designers with a choice of poses or shots to use. Photographers’ assignments often meant staying late and coming early to school. They also spent weekends taking pictures to complete spreads. Seniors Alan Hilliard, Donald Guthrie, and Kelly Steinmetz, all veterans, were joined by seniors Joe Kenyon and Debbi Strickland and sophomore Ingo Schiller. Mrs. Grimm also got in on “the act” after she got a camera for Christmas, and Lee-Ann learned the art of photography in the spring when final deadlines got close. SMILE! SAY CHEESE!

The mural, a collage of school activities including art, science, and sports, will be completed in the fall. Members of the League shared in bringing to life the inspiration and creation of junior Wade Lageose. It took Lageose over two weeks to layout the final design. The League also held several art shows during the year, including one at Coliseum Mall. They also prepared exhibits for the school’s showcases and in the library. Students enjoyed these periodically throughout the year. “We also participated in an Elec¬ tive Day held at Syms to encourage upcoming sophomores to take art. “We had a chance to show off our work,” said junior Larry Vanover. “The art exhibit attracted more attention than most other exhibits, and students showed a great deal of enthusiasm.” Club members sponsored a scholarship through candy sales and a modest entry fee. The scholarship was awarded to the student showing the highest level of creativity throughout the year. “I think we definitely had a loyal group of students. It was a group who were artistically inclined,” said co¬ sponsor Mrs. Cheryl Carter.

Not all of them were victorious. Some teams had frustrating, losing seasons, but over half of our teams proved to be tops in their area of competition, and all of them were tough competitors. Athletes shared moments of glory as team members, and there were also some outstanding, memorable moments for individual performers. In football, field goal kicker, senior Pat Mugler led the team in scoring and broke existing records. In cross country, sophomore Ingo Schiller went to districts. In basketball, sophomore Billy Coles proved outstanding and senior Wanda Harrold was the leading scorer in the district, averaging 20 points per game. In golf, junior Pat DiStefano took district medalist honors. Swimmers Ja- chimowski, senior Tom and junior Jim, were tops in area competition.

The starting squad was led by Hatchett. Michele Heaphy, Hedy Schiller, and Jimmy Wat¬ son completed the panel. Alter¬ nates Jeri Moxley, Kelly Stein- mentz, Grace Han, and Mike Jones stood ready to fill in for the starters. Unfortunately, Denbigh defeated Kecoughtan in the opening round of the tournament by a score of 570-260. “I don’t know if they were any smarter than us. They just hit their buzzers faster,” claimed Heaphy. The Chess Club was another “battle of brains.” Members met every Wednes¬ day afternoon after school in the library. “We played chess and had tournaments,” said Steve Moore, club secretary. “Tournaments were arranged by Mr. Jerry Flowers and everyone had to play every¬ one,” Moore explained. The players also devised their own rating system based on tournaments. Since some of the members were talented with computers, the rating system was computerized.

The drills we did may not of produced the wins we would have liked, but in the end we were better tennis players,” recalled Kelly Steinmetz, number four seed on the Girls’ Tennis Team. The ‘‘volley girls” started their 1983 season August 10 and spent at least two hours of practice each day until mid- October. Second year coach Mark Vandervort and assistant coach William Cash had the girls doing endless drills, from volleying to running sprints. Lacking experience in the top seed positions hurt, and the team ended its season with a 4-5 record. ‘‘We were a pretty inexperienced team. We only had two girls from last year’s singles, while the other schools had a lot of returning players,” stated Co-captain Denise Yuengert, number two seed on the team. Three of the top seeded seniors and the top two dou¬ bles teams advanced to the district tournament. Co-captain Laura Gardner made it to the quarter-finals in singles and in doubles with Yuengert.

Schiller was named All- District, and brightened up the season for Coach Lew Faxon, a veteran runner. ‘‘Ingo is the kind of kid who will do well in anything he does whether it’s soccer, or math, or whatever,” said Faxon. Although the team did not win a meet this season, Coach Faxon felt it was not the fault of the runners. ‘‘We’re running with one hand tied behind our back,” he said. ‘‘If the team had had student support, we could have beaten any school in town.” According to Faxon, the few students who came out for cross country were self- motivated. ‘‘They don’t come out for the girls,” he said. ‘‘There’s more glory in riding the football bench than there is in placing first at a meet.” Harriers agree that running is an individual sport. ‘‘When a team wins they share the glory; when they lose, they share the loss, but a runner takes the responsibility of winning or losing on himself, and some kids can’t handle that,” said Faxon. Faxon, who placed first in the Masters’ National Champion¬ ship 5,000 meter race and is second in the world for the Steeple Chase, served as coach for the ninth year. Harriers trained by working up to daily runs of six miles and by working out the entire summer. With Schiller and other under¬ classmen returning, prospects are brighter for next year’s team.

Warriors fought a tough battle with Hampton, the District Champs, holding them to 14 points and giving them one of their tough¬ est district games. They could have rolled over and quit, but they played with everything they had. Hampton knew it was in a battle, said a proud coach John Pauls. The team was led by senior captains Kevin Alligood, Jay Jackson, Jimmy Breedlove, Ronnie Battle and Lome Scott. Warriors chalked up their first of two wins over Phoebus in the season opener. The team also tallied an impressive win over Lafayette for Homecom¬ ing. Pat Mugler was the leading scorer of the season with 26 points. In the homecoming game, Mugler set a school record by kicking a stunning 50-yard field goal, one yard shy of the state record. Named to the All-District first team were junior Cary Ervin, the team’s steady defensive back, and senior place kicker Mugler. Named to the district second team were senior line backer Jay Jackson and junior Danny Giddens, a defensive guard. Receiving honorable mentions were seniors Ronnie Battle, tailback; Lome Scott, defensive end; Jimmy Breed¬ love, defensive guard; Trace Parham, tight end; and Kevin Alligood, line-backer; juniors Tom Hendrickson, tight end; Rodney Jones, defensive guard; Steve Nixon, center; and Ronnie Glover, defensive end.

A strong wind blows, forcing more people to run for their cars, leaving the football team to finish its game alone, all alone, except for the cheerleaders who applauded and rooted for teams, even if the going was rough and the score was low. Practice for both squads began in the summer of ’83 when the girls prepared cheers for day camp at the University of Richmond. Along with cheers, members developed a dance routine to the song “Freakazoid.”“lt was really fun making up a dance,” said senior Kim Hughes. ‘‘It gave us a break from the regular cheers.” J.V. and Varsity cheerleaders sold candy and doughnuts to pay off debts. ‘‘Money we made this year is being used for stuff bought last year,” said one J.V. cheerleader. Miss Donna Stevens, the new sponsor from Syms Junior High School, developed an exercise and running program for the girls. ‘‘Exercise is an integral part of cheering, because it aids the cheerleader in developing strength and endurance,” said Miss Stevens.

Harrold averages 23.3: leads district T he Girls’ Basketball Team had everything on it s side: good coaching, excellent players, and fan support. But, a late season slump cost the girls a possible District Championship title. We were just rolling along all season, but towards the end, we just seemed to have a slump,” stated Assistant Coach Miss June Tharpe. I guess every coach would like to be undefeated, but we are about where we felt we would be,” said Head Coach Gordon White. I figured that Warwick and Ferguson would be the top two clubs,” he added. The team was led by senior Wanda Harrold. Harrold led the district in scoring, averaging 23.3 points per game. Harrold led the team in rebounding by averaging 10.4 per game. She finished her career by becom¬ ing the first Lady Warrior to score over 1,000 points in her career. But, Harrold was also disappointed about not making first place. I’m glad we did this well, but I would have loved to win,” she said. Karen Thompson and Nancy Markel played pivotal roles for the team as they were over¬ shadowed by Harrold’s perfor¬ mance. Nancy and Karen were very important to this team. They gave us more depth,” said Tharpe. Thompson averaged 12.3 points and Markel averaged 5.8 points per game. Together, they scored over one-third of the team’s points. “I’m proud of this team. Win or lose, they gave every game 100 per cent,” said Tharpe.

Girls’ Basketball 99 MATMEN Wrestlers’ season record improves A lthough the matmen wound up the season with a 5-7 overall record and a 4-4 district record, they showed a vast improvement over last year’s team. The strength of the team was in the 98, 105, and 112 pound weight classes. Sophomores Cory Broeker, Darrin Riddick and Scott Bridegam finished third in their weight classes for district competition. Coach Bill Cawley was somewhat disappointed with the team’s record, but he was pleased with the competitive¬ ness of his wrestlers. “They always gave it their best out on the mat,” said Cawley. “We lost some close matches against Tabb, Norview and Denbigh, and other matches were closer than the score would indicate,” he added. The matmen’s most im¬ pressive victory was against Booker T. Washington. They annihilated them 60-0. “They really didn’t have much depth to their team,” said junior Mike Rose. “But, we really did a good job to shut them out,” he added. With the exception of a few seniors, such as Mitch Monroe, who finished first in the district in 1982, most of the wrestlers will be returning next year. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

For the fourth straight year, the swim team captured a district title, cruising with a 9-0 record. “By swimming as a team and not as individuals, we saw a well-rounded and successful season,” said Coach Steve Newman. Although the team did not have official captains, seniors Kendall White and Tom Ja- chimowski provided the leader¬ ship and inspiration necessary. “This was certainly the team ' s best season,” said Jachimowski. “We killed everyone.” The squad’s closest match came against Lafayette, but the winning margin was still over twenty points. No other school SENIOR KENDALL WHITE is congratulated by sophomore Teddy Earls after winning her free style event. Flying Fish 103 was serious competition. “I was not surprised with the competition we received this year. It’s always the same and we always have a winning record,” added Jachimowski. Another factor that contribut¬ ed to the winning season was the number of veteran swim¬ mers on the team. Outstanding efforts were contributed by Jachimowski, junior Jim Ja¬ chimowski, sophomore Amy Pearson, and freshman Kelly White. “The enthusiasm among the swimmers was high,” said Newman. “This, in part, was because of the team’s reputa¬ tion as a winner. This was enhanced by the fact that the team had quite a lot of depth.” FRESHMAN KELLY WHITE “flys” through the water with her almost perfect butterfly stroke.

SOCCER Dynasty crumbles after three years F or most of them, it was the first time they had ever lost a game. Since the days of Mr. Rueben Salada, organizer and first coach of the fledging team, they had been winners, not only in district, but also in regionals and state. They had reigned supreme for over ten years, and they had earned the respect of teams from all over Virginia_ But, on April 30, 1984, the dynasty of Warrior soccer was to be destroyed. A three-year winning streak, 31 games, was abruptly ended by a fired up Lafayette team who had come to Darling Stadium for one purpose - UNSEAT the War¬ riors. And, they did. Under a threatening sky, in front of over 400 fans, most of them from Williamsburg and Ram territory, the battle for the district title commenced. At brst it was a stand-off, and the earns were 0-0 at the half, hen the Rams scored, and scored again, and it was over. Lafayette had beaten Kecoughtan, 2-0. “It was a tough loss. We didn’t expect to lose, but we didn’t play our game,” said senior Monte Lehmkuhler. The booters, however, still established an impressive 7-1 district record. Co-captains Pat Mugler and Jon Schwartzman led the team in scoring. Senior Britt League and junior Steve Olson also contributed scoring punches. Seniors Chad Champion and Curtis Leppa, along with junior Bill Sgrinia and sophomore Will Sullivan added surprise attacks and vital assists in the midfield position. The strength of the soccer team was its almost invincible defense, holding its opponents to an average of .8 goals per game. Seniors Lehmkuhler and Jeff Sahms led the defense, along with promising juniors Steve Moore, Chris Moore, and Bren¬ dan Bender. 104 Soc SOCCER TEAM - Back Row: Coach Kelly Alford, Shu Lo, Brendan Bender, Mike Hohman, Phil Thacker, Steve Moore, Britt League, Curtis Leppa.

Photo Essay by senior Matt Dair. 106 Athlete of-the-Year Pat Mugler sets scoring record; hits 5 in final soccer game to be NUMBER 1 H e led the soccer team in scoring and was voted to the All-District Soccer Team in his sophomore and junior years. He led the district in scoring his senior year and was named Julia Conn Outstanding Athlete-of-the-Year by the Peninsula Sports Club. He set a new school record in the homecoming football game against Lafayette by kicking a 50-yard field goal, one yard short of the state record. He scored five goals in the last soccer game of the season to reign as the number one scorer in the district. Who did all of the above? Senior Pat Mugler, captain of the soccer team and field goal kicker on the football team his senior year. ‘‘I love soccer, but, after watching professional field goal kickers make all the money, I decided that I could kick a football,” said Mugler. ‘‘So, I took up kicking for my senior year,” he explained. Mugler has been athletically inclined for most of his life. ‘‘I played baseball when I was eight, but really started getting interested in soccer when I was 11,” he said. Mugler is a self-taught athlete. ‘‘I taught myself most of what I know. I just went out and practiced. I never really thought about kicking field goals until my senior year. Since kicking a football is almost exactly like soccer, it came easy,” he added. While playing for the Virginia 16- and-under team, Mugler was selected to go to regional camp. Last summer, he played for the 19-and-under state team and was selected to attend the United States National Soccer Camp at Penn State University. Offered a scholarship to the Universi¬ ty of Virginia, Mugler is also interested in the Naval Academy. ‘‘I would like to go to UVA, but I have often thought about going to the Naval Academy. I’m just not sure yet,” he said. Mugler shared the Athlete- of-the-Year honor with wrestler Tony Panza of Lafayette High School.

District cham¬ pions in 79, ’80, ’81, and ’82, for the past two years, Coach Buddy Denton’s “bat¬ men” have failed in their attempt to win the district crown. “We just didn’t perform well. Our hitting wasn’t there and we didn’t seem to get any breaks,” said co-captain Mike Sahms of the disappointing 7-8 season in district, and 8-9-1 season overall. “Inconsistency brought on by inexperience has made the season enjoyable at times and frustrating at times,” said Coach Denton. A bright spot on the team was the leading hitter, fresh¬ man Tab Pabst. The first ninth-grader to play on a varsity team, Tab had a .345 batting average and collected the most RBI’s. “I think Tab was our most productive player this year,” said Denton. Senior co-captain Steve Irick was the leading pitcher on the team with a record of 4-6 and an ERA of 2.47. Other players receiving team recognition were Sahms, Most Valuable Player and Melvin Ward, Most Deserving. “We had a very young team this year. The inexperience contributed to many of our problems,” said Denton. SENIOR JAY ROBERTS digs one out of the dirt in a homestand against Denbigh.

Finishing off the year with a 4-8 record, team determination to “have a ball” brightened what might have been a dismal season. The team began with a win over Hampton, 16-4, arousing high expectations for the girls. Hampton, however, was an easy opponent and accounted for three of the Warrior’s four wins. “The goal of the team was to work together. If we learned nothing else during the season, we learned to cooperate well with the other players on the field,” said captain Nancy Market. With only two seniors on the team, the underclassmen were the strength of the team. Junior Bernadette Messier handled the bulk of the pitching load with relief pitching from fresh¬ man Jennifer Brown. The five freshmen on the team proved to be assets.

However, the team did defeat Kempsville High School, number one team in the state, and ended the season with a respectable 7-5 record. Senior Jay Dugger was out¬ standing on the team, losing only one singles match for a 11-1 record, and teaming with senior Mike Ward in doubles for an identical record. “We had a great year in doubles. We beat almost every¬ one we faced,” said Dugger. “It’s just too bad that we couldn’t play all of our matches that way,” he commented. “We had a great team, but we just couldn’t produce wins,” echoed Young. Seniors David Harden, seed¬ ed number one, Ward, and junior Darrell Brooks played major roles on the team. “We were definitely a more experienced team than last year’s team,” said Dugger. Dugger’s only defeat came at the hands of a sensational Phoebus team led by Shannon Seely. 112 Boys Tennis BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM - Back Row: Pau Dishman, Kevin Young, Mike Ward, Rodnej Hamm, Darryl Brooks.

While the girls’ team did not fare any better than the boys’ recordwise, it did send some runners to districts and a discus thrower to state. “We are a small team, but we are good,” said senior team captain Angela Anderson. Anderson and senior Ulanda Jordan represented KHS in districts in the 100-yard dash, and Anderson also ran the 200-yard dash. Senior Cindy Lowery also participated in the 200-yard dash in districts. Senior Trinia Lyons competed in the discus thrown on the state level. Overall, the efforts of both track teams were not without pride and honor.

Individual sports offer hours of fun W hite water hits the beach. Surf’s up’’ is the cry as dozens of surfers assault the waves. The fun is endless as surfers ride the pipe, hang ten, and get rad. Surfing is great. It’s excit¬ ing, and it keeps your whole body in shape,” said senior Monte Lehmkuhler, a year- around surf-rat.” The sun sparkles on the water and the wind whips through your hair. You’re free - you can go where you want to - do what you want to do. It’s fun,” said junior Laura Reed, an avid sailor. Surfing, sailing, water-skiing - all were individual sports that students, fortunate to live by the water, enjoyed. Another great thing about water sports is that you almost always get a good tan,” said junior Kyle Olson. Many of our students en¬ joyed other types of leisure time activity to include gymnas¬ tics, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and bicycling. Bicycling, however, was more than a leisure time activity for Olympic hopeful junior Bobby Bowen. His was a dedication to the sport requir¬ ing many hours of training and riding. For junior Susan Kiefer, it was horseback riding. Horse¬ back riding is a great way to relax and release tension, while having fun,” she said. Golf was the name of the game for junior Brett Cowan, who worked on perfecting his game whenever the opportunity presented itself. 116 Individual Sports PREPARING TO CUT BACK UP THE WAVE, senior Monte Lehmkuhler enjoys a day at Virginia Beach.

Academics Twenty years of quality C lassrooms and curriculum underwent many changes this year, but for the twentieth consecutive year, academics were considered “best-all-around.” Computers entered the classroom, English was reconstructed and graduating seniors were required to have 20 credits instead of the previous 18. Seniors still took government and physics. Senior Liz Wasielewski “found out that when you become a senior, your brain dies.” She thinks “they call it ‘Senioritis.’” Juniors struggled through history and chemistry while preparing for the SAT. “Com¬ pared to tenth grade classes, ours are more difficult,” commented junior Delana Salley. “It’s not the academic level that increases the difficulty, but the greater amount of homework and responsibility,” she said. Sophomores were quickly thrust into the rigors of biology, geometry and foreign lan¬ guages. “The classes are more time consuming and require more listening and paying attention than in junior high,” said Steve Staton. Students in 1983-’84 proved once again that academically, as in other areas, we are “best-all-around.” Academics 119 ROBY N PHILLIPS prac¬ tices her drawing skills in an art class.

Notes and rhythms became renditions of popular and classical musical selections. Rainbow colors combined to form an array of paintings. On blank canvases mythical beasts and summer countrysides appeared. Through participation in classes offered by the Fine Arts Department, talented students refined their creative abilities. Classes were offered on all levels giving all students the opportuni¬ ty to express themselves creatively and develop an appreciation for the arts. Performances of professional caliber were given by the students in Mrs. Lucile Sutterer’s chorus classes. The hard work of the chorus was apparent in the polished performances at the Variety Show, the Christmas Concert, and on numerous occasions through¬ out the year. For the first time, an all girls’ ensemble, A Touch of Jade, was formed. “The chorus is terrific!’’ said sophomore Nonie Robinson. “I looked forward to being in high school chorus and I am really glad I joined.” The musicians in Mr. Fred Pender- graft’s band and orchestra classes were kept busy learning music for various concerts. “Mr. Pendergraft had our quartet working on pieces heard normally in big name symphonies,” said orchestra member Patrick Belcher. The techniques of painting and drawing were learned through art projects done by the students in Mr. Leroy Hubbard’s and Mrs. Cheryl Carter’s art classes. Promising artists studied and practiced the elements of composition and design. The combined efforts of the faculty and students in the Fine Arts Department helped to make the Christmas Fund Concert at the Hampton Coliseum a success. Band, chorus, and orchestra members joined with musicians from other city schools to present an evening of traditional Christmas music. Art students ex¬ pressed their visions of Christmas in paintings and drawings displayed in the lobby of the Coliseum the night of the concert. i STANDING SILENTLY, the drums await a workout from the band’s percussionists.

Fine Arts 121 Science r Sophomores take new course £ £ he one thing that sets this year apart from last year in the Science Department is that this is the first year we’ve offered Physical Science in the tenth grade,” said Assistant Principal William Pear¬ son. The addition of the course to the curriculum made it possible for students who either failed or did not take Physical Science in the ninth grade to earn one of the two science credits needed to graduate. ‘‘We are getting students here who have to take either biology and chemistry, or biology and physics, to get the credits when they didn’t even pass Physical Science,” Mr. Pearson said. ‘‘This gave them a chance to retake the class.” Approximately one hundred students enrolled in the Physical Science class taught by Mr. Arthur Armstead. In addition, or as usual, sophomores dissected frogs in biology, juniors conducted experiments in chemistry, and seniors learned about “the real world” in physics. The Science Fair at Lake High School in Norfolk, March 31, attracted three entries. Juniors Jeff Cleveland and Grace Han and senior Randall Reed entered projects. ‘‘Considering that only 25 students are allowed from all Hampton secon¬ dary schools, I think that three from Kecoughtan is pretty good,” said Mrs. Debra Mortimer, chemistry teacher and department chairman. Cleveland, who has had consider¬ able success in past fairs, felt that the Science Fair was very important. ‘‘In my project, I attempt to program my computer to balance atomic equations,” he explained. ■1 ' ; ' l Ik I m - SjV T W ' V V ‘ - ' if ' C ' t - ■ s’ SOPHOMORES EDDIE CRUZ AND CHRIS HILBERT dissect a poor defenseless frog in Mr. Leonard Thomas’s biology class.

Conversely, senior Kyngston Temple felt that, ‘‘Math is Greek to most students. It is hard to comprehend.” Mathematics was a challenge for most students. They chose from 15 classes, ranging from college level courses, such as AP Calculus, to courses in math skills. Students in algebra worried about solving polynomials and factoring, while students in trigonometry tired to remember what they had learned in Algebra II the year before. Trigon¬ ometry involved the unit circle, sine and cosine. Junior Brent Selnau, who took trig and plans to take calculus next year, said, ‘‘After a lesson (trig), I would ponder on what’s happened to one plus one equals two.” Taking college level calculus in high school was a big undertaking and many seniors decided to try their hand. ‘‘I always was pretty good at math, but once I hit Mr. Cronau’s calculus class, my mathematical thinking quit,” joked senior Kenny Chauvin. Calculus in¬ volves deltas, epsilions, differentiates, and differentials. Many students said it was only ‘‘a taste of things to come.” Students in computer math classes worried about floppy disks, flow charts, and programs. After spending a long period in Mrs. Barbara Young’s trigon¬ ometry class, a student was prompted to write: ‘‘Trig is a pain It ruins my brain. Those dreaded sines Cosines and secants. I hope you can do them, Because, I can’ts.” AND IT ONLY COST ..Seniors Michelle Jones and Virginia Reese examine junior Holly Farris’ ring in Mr. John Quinn’s consumer math class.

Congress ... League of Nations ... War Powers Act ... Any junior or senior could explain these subjects. They learned all the details in their history and government classes. For especially talented juniors, the department offered Advanced Placement History. Students in this class wrote weekly research papers and worked on special projects - like bulletin boards and oral presentations - to prepare them for the A.P. exam administered in May. “A.P. History has been one of my most challenging classes,” said Gianin- a Shinpaugh. “In everything we learn, we go into great depth.” For other juniors, three levels of history were offered to fit ability levels. For seniors, the last hurdle before graduation, other than English, was American Government. In addition to traditional term papers and projects, government students observed city government in action, helped political candidates in their quest for public office, and simulated the United States Senate. Dan Locke, who portrayed Senator Paul Laxalt in Mr. Bill Cawley’s fifth period Senate simulation said, “The class learned a lot about how the Senate worked, but more importantly, we were able to put the good of the country before ourselves.” To provide even more diversity, the department also offered elective classes. Sociology was popular among seniors who wanted to take a class that was different from any other in the school. “Sociology helps you to understand people and why they act the way they do,” said senior Rhonda Lovko. Economics and Personal Finance were also offered in the department. “I took Economics because I wanted to learn more about the business and investment world,” said senior David Montgomery. “I learned many things about taxes, stocks, and investments. It was one of the best courses that I have taken since I have been here.” The Social Studies Department did not change the facts, but the creativity helped to ease the emphasis on dates, court cases, and lists of important events in history. iaSBl LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, Kristen Brogden, Lee Rowland, Andre Cherry, Ronald Glover, Jimma Hertzler, and Scotty Moore search through their history books in Mr. Jerome Flowers’ class.

Perhaps your friends laughed at the blank look you gave them when they addressed you with a jumbled string of strange sounding syllables. Maybe you began to wonder if you were getting a little behind the latest slang. Those new words were spoken by fledgling foreign language students who were eager to try out their knowledge on their “less cultured” friends. Students who took French, German, Latin, and Spanish learned about both the language and customs of those nations. “It is good to know a foreign language, especially if you plan to travel to other countries,” said junior Susan Westlund. The language students gave the school an international flair during National Foreign Language Week. Enthusiastic students decorated the halls and the cafeteria with bilingual posters and tasted exotic food at a foreign language luncheon. Guest speakers gave students an inside view of life styles in other countries. Students took foreign languages to prepare themselves for college, a career, or to earn the governor’s diploma for advanced students. “Knowing a second language will open up more job opportunities,” said junior Maria Whitworth. Even though students may not have gained a complete mastery of the language, they opened their minds to a greater awareness of other nationali¬ ties. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE STUDENTS from Old Dominion University were guests of the Foreign Language Department at the banquet.

Warner DEEP IN CONCENTRATION, seniors David Price and Ashlie Burney work on their accounting project in Mr. I.G. Warner’s class. Business Computers create new look in deportment A s some students whacked away on their typewriters, other were engrossed in operating four new computers. Room 325 exemplified the “new look” of the Business Depart¬ ment. To keep up with advancing times and students’ needs, the business curriculum was expanded with the adoption of eight new courses. “The world is advancing in com¬ puters, so I think we need them in order to keep pace with others,” said junior Rhonda Hoover. “The trend is with computers or programming,” said Accounting teacher and Department Chairman I. G. Warner. According to an ’83-’84 survey on college majors, the number of students majoring in computer science and other related subjects increased dramatically. That means that the business and computer field should be flooded with students and jobs. “If you start using computers in high school, it will help you in college ... it won’t be such a new subject,” said Mr. Warner. The four new computers (TRS-80’s from Radio Shack) were accompanied by two printers. Many students in business classes used and abused the keyboards during the year. “I think the courses will really help the students in achieving their goals in life,” said junior Tracy Brown. The new courses offered were Business Com¬ puter Applications, Business Office Technology I and II, Business Data Processing, Introduction to Business, Recordkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting. The latter was a prerequi¬ site for all occupational programs in Business Education. “There is no doubt about it, the computers were a good investment. Just the word ‘computer’ seems to draw people’s attention,” said Mr. Warner. The cost of the computers was estimated at $1,700 each. Another optional program in the department was Cooperative Office Education (COE). COE was a super¬ vised, on-the-job training course. Students were placed in jobs in their related business fields.

Business 131 Practical Aits Preparing for a lifetime job T he classes in the Practical Arts Department were not quiet ones. The sound of machinery shaping wood and metal rang in the ears of students after leaving their shop classes. Dishes clattered and sewing machines hummed as Home Econ¬ omics students practiced newly learned skills. By taking shop and Home Economics courses, students learned practical skills that have applications in daily life. These “hands on’’ classes were a welcome change from the traditional academic courses. The skills of working with wood and metal were mastered by the craftsmen in Mr. Clayton Fitchett’s and Mr. Claude Hopson’s shop classes. Students learned how to operate machinery and the techniques of carpentry through various wood and metalworking projects. Another popular and useful indus¬ trial arts class was mechanical drawing. “The course was suggested to me because mechanical drawing will be necessary in computer and technical related careers,’’ said junior Alan Bennett. Cooking and sewing were not the only skills taught in Home Economics courses. Nutrition, clothing man¬ agement, and interior design were among the many topics covered. Mrs. Patricia Sperry and Mrs. Sue Smith taught skills needed in students’ personal and family life. By participa¬ tion in these classes, students gained the confidence to cope with problems of day-to-day living.

This was not the only thing happening in the PE classes, however. While some students shot the hoop, others legged it around the track, spiked the volleyball, and whacked away at tennis or softballs. Not only was PE a rather easy credit, but it also kept students in shape. “I think most students enjoyed taking PE. It was a good way to keep in shape and have fun at the same time,” said senior Roy Barnes. “Physical Education was a good way to stay prepared for daily life,” said sophomore Mike McCain. “I remember the fun times we had when we would break a light, or hit the roof with the volleyball,” said junior Karen Hundley. The sight of a broken arrow or deflated volleyball was not a good one for the P.E. faculty, however. “The cost of buying new equipment was outrageous. It’s hard to keep up-to-date equipment on such a small budget,” said Coach Roger Watson. “It was more like a relaxation period ..said junior Dan Larson. “I’VE GOT IT!” Sophomore Tracy Dickson gets set to return the volleyball over the net while senior Lawrence Brown and sophomore Gregg Barnes get ready to assist. “P.E. didn’t seem like a class.

For the last 10 years, students were permitted to select from such classes as British Fiction, American Novel, and Sports Literature, provided they took a specified number of classes from each of three areas during their high school years. The new system, however, elimin¬ ated this choice. Students were placed in English classes according to their grade level and ability. Three levels were available in each grade, plus Advanced Placement English for sen¬ iors. Some of the classes eliminated from the former English curriculum were reinstated as electives. These classes included Acting, Journalism, Mass Media, Public Speaking, and Broadcasting. “In my Broadcasting class we learned about writing scripts and about the right radio voice to have,” said sophomore Kenny Hatchett. “There are a lot of people in the class, so we have to make sure that we all do our part and get assignments in on time.” Although the curriculum looked different, many familiar aspects of the “old English” were incorporated into the “new English.” Novels, plays, and short stories read last year were popular assignments in the new curriculum. “I think that the English we took this year was definitely similar to the English we took last year,” said Junior Valerie Bridges. Despite the similarity, students complained about not being given the right to choose the subjects they wanted to take. ‘I don’t think this was fair. The Class of 1985 is always used as the guinea pig,” said Bridges. English, after all, was English. And, while the new curriculum suffered birth pangs, teachers continued to stress reading, writing, and speaking as basic skills in all classes. English 137 SOME STUDENTS were surprised to find that taking the PSAT’s was a “bearable” experience. WITH THE HELP of Mr. Ritt, TAG members discuss their feelings about being transfer students.

CAREER COUNSELING: Mr. Williams, who handles career counseling, speaks with an interested parent about job opportunities for students. Guidance Deciding what path to take F rom the first day of school when sophomores received schedules until the seniors picked up their final transcripts, the academic progress of all students was carefully watched by the dedicated staff of the Guidance Department. “The Guidance Depart¬ ment is essential to the workings of the school and student education,’’ said junior Lisa Williams. Mrs. Jane Price, director of guidance, oversaw all the operations of the department and made sure that students received the help they need¬ college,” said junior Tracy Hutchens. Career counselor Mr. Sidney Williams gave seniors valuable information on job opportunities. The adjustment of transferring from another school was made easier with the assistance of transfer counselor Mr. Arnold Ritt and TAG (transfer adjustment group) which he organized. In addition to his her specialized field of counseling, each counselor was assigned students to advise on a one-to-one basis. “My guidance coun¬ selor,” said junior Antonette Ricks, “... essential to the workings of the school and student education.” — Lisa Williams ed. The staff kept the Class of ’84 informed about scholarships by posting the senior bulletin in all of the government classes. Those seeking scholarships were further aided by Mrs. Alma Luck. Mr. Harold Parrish helped seniors to reduce the cost of attending college by providing informa¬ tion about financial aid. “The Guidance Office is a good place to find information about what courses you should take to prepare for “was very helpful by showing me how to find information about different colleges.” Guidance secretaries, Mrs. Esther Penrod and Mrs. Joyce Dorsey, kept the guidance office organized and running efficiently. The hard work of the department did not go unnoticed by students. The advice given helped many a student to decide on a course, college, or career to help achieve his her goals. 140 People TEACHERS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

People Each individual is special W hy is Kecoughtan the “Best- All-Around?” Not because of a trophy in a showcase, or a winning athletic record, or a high test score. It is the individualism of its people that makes it special. Every student that walks through the doors possesses a free spirit, good qualities, and unique attributes that contribute to the character and spirit of our school. Every student portrays excellence in his or her own way, whether it is racing bicycles, playing a violin, capturing the world’s beauty in art, or striving towards academic achievement. Students, however, would be nowhere without dedicated teachers to make excellence possible. They help us to find our strengths and weaknesses, to learn about ourselves and others, and to discover our potential in life. During our three years in high school, by sharing with others, we experienced happiness and sorrow, accomplishment and dedication, care and friendship. We learned about other cultures and we learned from each other. Most importantly, we learned that we are a community of individuals each striving for an ideal in our own unique way. People 141 Chiefs strive for quality C C I don’t really know the people I personally, but by the way I things are running it seems they are doing the best job possible and keeping things in line the best they can,” said senior David Wasiela. Keeping up with sweeping changes and implementing goals and objectives complicated the job this year for our chief administrators. Public concerns about education, drug-related issues, vandalism and petty theft were but a few of the problems that Principal Dennis O. Gillikin dealt with throughout the year. A drop in enrollment and the usual budget cuts made the elimination of some activities and purchases necessary. Assistant Principals, Mr. William Pearson, Mr. Harold Johns, and Mr. Larry Waddell, divided tasks, but maintained a united front when it came to discipline and student behavior. Mr. Pearson, in charge of instruction, worked closely with English teachers in establishing the new curriculum. He also kept abreast of curriculum changes in other departments, teacher evaluations, student scheduling, exams, and grading procedures. Build¬ ing maintenance and upkeep was the primary responsibility of Mr. Johns, who also worked closely with teachers in discipline referrals. As Athletic Director and Student Activities Director, Mr. Waddell had his usual struggle finding sponsors and coaches for all of the activities desired by students. He also planned assemblies and pep rallies and coordinated fund raising activities in addition to overseeing the entire athletic program. Students often saw all three assistant principals in the halls, and Mr. Gillikin was a towering figure in the cafeteria during lunch and before school in front of the office. In addition, five faculty members who donated to the United Fund were rewarded with a ‘‘day off” when the ‘‘big four” substituted in classes.

Preparation of meals and building maintenance were an aid to students, although often unappreciated. Beginning his first year at Kecoughtan, head custodian Mr. Eze¬ kiel Curry laughed when asked about the toughest part of his job. “There’s nothing really hard about it. Maybe getting spilled things off the floors or keeping the ceiling tile up in the girls’ gym, that’s all.” The ladies that prepared our lunch arrived every day shortly after 8 a.m. to begin meal preparation. The man¬ ager of this fine staff, Mrs. Mary Watson, said, “I have a lot of nice ladies working with me. They all work hard and enjoy their jobs.” As always, students put down the food, but the cafeteria was constantly crowded at lunchtime, proving that meals were popular with students. “The food isn’t that bad, but it’s a lot of fun to make jokes about it,” said junior Billy Sgrinia. “They must like it, because they eat a lot of it,” said Mrs. Jean Carter. “We try to please them, and we offer a large variety of meals,” she added. “It’s good; it really is. Hey, they eat it,” said Mrs. Joanne Irick. BOOKKEEPER, Mrs. Theresa Adams, hands Jeff Barnes his bus tickets. MRS. LINDA BROWN, cafeteria cashier, makes change for another hungry student. Staff 145 Faculty strives for the best F aculty meetings, grading papers, preparing lesson plans, depart¬ mental meetings, coaching teams, raising money, sponsoring clubs and activities, committee meetings, writing curriculum preparing city-wide exams, taking courses, teaching workshops — And, some of us thought the faculty did nothing but dream up ways to make it tough! Coming from varied backgrounds, the 78 member faculty shared one goal: to provide the best for their students. That meant many extra hours of preparation, additional duties, and constant updating of skills. As early as June of 1983, many teachers were preparing for the ' 83-’84 year. Six English teachers spent the first two weeks of vacation writing the revised English curriculum. Miss Gayle Lem- mond studied in Oxford, England and Miss Tyla Matteson, a foreign language scholarship recipient, studied in France. Mrs. Norma Seals participated in an International Relations Seminar at William and Mary. Other teachers attended summer workshops, or took courses in their area of expertise. Several teachers taught summer school and had but a brief vacation before reporting August 23. Throughout the year, faculty members, such as Mrs. Vi rginia Johnson, immediate past president of the Virginia Association of Distributive Education Teachers, contributed their talents to state and national organiza¬ tions. Mrs. Pam Szynal served as district adviser of Distributive Educa¬ tion Clubs of America. Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins and Mrs. Joel Grimm were members of the Scholastic Publications Advisory Committee for Virginia High School League and served as instruc¬ tors in bi-annual workshops. Mr. Garland Wesson was active in Virginia Association of Teachers of English, and Miss Gini Hibben was president of Citizens Loving All Special People (CLASP). Mrs. Alease Gant was a National Education Association director for the State of Virginia. She was appointed to the 1983 Governor’s Task Force on Education. Mrs. Chris Ervin was secretary of the American Federa¬ tion of Teachers’ local chapter. In addition, faculty members were loyal fans and supporters of student activities, even participating in pep rallies. They gave to the United Way, sponsored contests, counseled students, and lived up to Superinten¬ dent Musselman’s comment when he said, “We have the best people in education right here in the Hampton School Division.” HIH 5E iUlPii P HHilr® ■ 1 i FACULTY MEETING: Faculty members listen attentively to Principal Dennis O.

Faculty 147 i Popular instructor retires t C T™eaching has made me think young; it has become a part of my life,” said Choral Director Lucile Sutterer, who completed her seventeenth year at Kecoughtan and decided to retire. “When you work with the kids, you can’t help feeling young. You get involved,” she explained. Mrs. Sutterer, who had accumulat¬ ed 14V2 years of Hampton teaching experience before coming to Kecought¬ an in September of 1967, founded the Harbor Lights Ensemble, an award¬ winning show choir, in 1979. She got the inspiration for Harbor Lights when she and a group of Hampton music teachers attended a National Confer¬ ence in California. The idea was an immediate success, and Harbor Lights has become a very important and acclaimed part of the choral depart¬ ment. Always working to improve the program, this year Mrs. Sutterer formed an all girls’ ensemble. “There are always more girls involved than guys,” she explained. “So, I decided to make a separate group.” The girls were mostly sophomores and juniors, and they enjoy it. They also have a very nice sound. She will be greatly missed by her students. Mrs. Sara Alligood Col. Roscoe Barber (USA Ret.)

Then they could appreciate the com¬ plexity of the job,” said Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, English teacher. Dean of Girls Mrs. Shirley Booth dealt with concerns that went beyond daily attendance and tardies to include discipline and counseling. ‘‘When I substitute for Mrs. Booth,” said Mrs. Dawkins, ‘‘everyth¬ ing runs smoothly because she leaves me good notes and has efficient aides. However, I don’t think I could take the pressure of the job on a daily basis.” Dean of Boys John Pauls, a former Drivers Education instructor, said, ‘‘I enjoy the interaction with faculty. When you teach, you only work with teachers in your department. Now, I work with all of the teachers.” Pauls feels the job is ‘‘very demanding timewise,” but says, “I do enjoy the job and feel I have a good influence on the school.” Head Librarian since the first year of operation, Miss Nancy Spain provid¬ ed a ‘haven’ for students before, during, and after school. ‘‘I enjoy working with the students,” she said. ‘‘I feel that our library is heavily used by classes and by individual students.” COACH JOHN PAULS, dean of boys, and Coach Stephen Iseley laugh at the antics of students during a pep rally. MRS. SHIRLEY BOOTH, dean of girls, helps student aide Cynthia Seidnitzer compile the daily ab¬ sentee list.

This is how sophomore Jan Johnson, a competitor in figure and freestyle roller skating, spent her time six days a week. “I love skating. It’s probably the only sport I’m halfway decent at,” she said. The practice paid off for Johnson. She placed third for two consecutive years in regional figure competition and traveled to the National Championships in August. She began skating at age eight, when she went with a friend, ‘‘and then,” she declared, ‘‘I was hooked.” She took lessons and was competing a year later. ‘‘Competition is great,” she remarked. ‘‘You meet lots of different people, and you get to travel a lot.” Johnson started competing with the Chesapeake Bay Skating Club in Virginia Beach at the Haygood Skating Center after her old rink, Roll ‘R’ Way, closed in 1983. She spoke of future plans, saying, “Hopefully, I’ll qualify for nationals again. Maybe someday, I’ll get to skate worlds ... roller skating is on the waiting list for the Olympics.” SKATING SINCE THE AGE OF EIGHT, Jan Johnson participated in the National Championships in August of 1983. Johnson practices six days a week and competes with the Chesapeake Bay Skating Club.

The offspring of intellectual par¬ ents, Spencer was always self- motivated in school and maintained a grade point average of nearly 4.0 throughout her years in Booker Elementary, Syms Junior High, and Kecoughtan. She received several awards including those ranging from highest averages in certain subjects to science awards and honorable men¬ tions. Looking to college, Spencer said, ‘‘I am considering aeronautical engi¬ neering at VPI, because math is my favorite subject.” At times, the pres¬ sure from envious classmates about being a “brain” presented a problem. “Sometimes the pressure was pretty bad. A lot of people thought I was stuck up. I’ve got a better reputation now.” Spencer admitted that learning came pretty easy for her. She studied an average of a mere half hour each night, leaving time for her favorite activities.

It’s an outlet. It’s fun too!” Alex, a member of the school swim team, has competed on the Peninsula Area Swim Team as well. The area team is a merger of the Hampton Aquatic Club and the Peninsula Blue Marlins. He felt that all of his hard work paid off when he qualified last year as fifth in the state for the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke. He also won the Pirate Award for dedication and ability. We look ahead and look at what (qualifying) times we need and we shoot for those goals,” stated Skucas. He thought it was “pretty interesting” when he got to travel to such places as Baltimore, Maryland, Richmond, and North Carolina. Skucas might compete in the Junior Olympics in Richmond. His coach, Ron Niedrich, figures out schedules for each member ahead of time, so that they (swimmers) will be ready. Preparing for this includes such things as sets (repetitions of swims), lifting weights, and exercising. “I’ve played a lot of sports, but I like swimming best,” said Skucas. 156 Sophomores Hol-Kap Sophomores Computer whiz excels in math C C I got my first home computer ! about four years ago. It was an 1 ISNIA-80,” said sophomore computer whiz Jerry Watson. Jerry bought his latest computer an ATARI 800, six months ago for about $1,000. “I never had any formal training. It runs in the family. My brothers know more than I do. I basically self-taught myself by taking some of my brother’s programs and using ‘List.’ I’d look and see what commands he used and put them in my programs,” replied Watson. Jerry has made all types of computer programs, such as a simulat¬ ed attack of Dungeons and Dragons, and one to keep track of all of the stocks. Watson belongs to an ATARI users’ club that meets at Langley Air Force Base every third Friday of the month. ‘‘People there exchange mer¬ chandise and discs. If ATARI comes out with a new product, they send it to the club to be analyzed, so they can see the public response. If we get to keep the new product, it gets put into a library of material that members may check out.” Watson excels in math and took Honors Algebra II as a sophomore. As a junior, he will take pre-calculus and then AP Calculus. ‘‘I never do my math homework. I still maintain an ‘A’ average, and I don’t keep a notebook,” he said. Jerry confessed that he never really thought about the future, but a degree in Computer Science or Elec¬ trical Engineering would be nice.

Tuned in to the “soaps,” soph¬ omores followed the lives of a variety of characters, villains and their innocent victims, heroes, and two-faced scum. Amy Mounger spoke for many so¬ phomores when she admitted, “I’m addicted to the Soaps.” Favorites included “All My Chil¬ dren,” “Guiding Light,” and “The Young and the Restless.” “General Hospital” was the most popular. April Norris explained the success of “General Hospital” when she said, “It’s a mystery and a love story all in one. That’s why it’s so good.” Other sophomores spent their spare time saving the earth in game rooms like Time Out. Sweeping the nation’s teenagers into a world of fantasy where fighting off invading aliens is all important, video games provided an escape from the world and its problems, and homework. Arcades were not the only places to zap UFO’s. “On my home computer system, I play for about a half an hour every day,” admitted Mark Egolf. Video game addicts were continuously on the look out for advancements in the games.

Commenting on his role, McDaniels explained, ‘‘I have a good idea of what kind of people go to Kecoughtan. I try to get ideas of what they want to do. I also try and blend in with all people.” The Sophomore Class sponsored a child at Christmas and a dance in December. ‘‘The problem is,” said McDaniels, ‘‘the sophomores have no school spirit because they feel they are not a part of the school. It’s hard to get them pepped up. I got discouraged at one point when I thought nobody cared. But, I know I have to have school spirit if I want to get others involved.” If McDaniels is not Junior Class president, he would like to help someone else to do a good job. ‘‘My band practices clashed with my pres¬ idential role, but I was prepared,” he said. McDaniels emphasized that he was a ‘‘typical kid.” ‘‘When I go out with my friends on the weekends, we try to cram in as much fun as we can. We usually go to the Mall or the ‘Barn,’ ” he said.

Parham has been actively involved in football, basketball, baseball and swimming and has received several awards of recog¬ nition and achievement. “I like sports because it keeps me physically fit. I enjoy competition and being a leader,” said Parham. He said he has no favorite sport but that he is equally dedicated to all four. A newcomer from San Pedro, California, Parham joined the varsity football team in the summer of ’83 as a quarterback. During his junior year, Parham was named Athlete-of-the- Month by Tribal Tales. Parham played for the Mary Star High School team in San Pedro, where he received the Most Valuable Player Award as a freshman, and the Most Improved Player Award as a sophomore. Parham has also excelled in basketball. During his sophomore year, he won a coaches’ award and an Honorable Mention playing basketball for Mary Star. He also played for Mary Star’s varsity baseball team as a pitcher. Not having competed in any meets, Parham considers swimming as more of a recreational sport. Parham worked as a lifeguard at a Phoebus pool during the summer. He said he enjoyed teaching younger children how to swim. One of Parham’s most frustrating experiences in his athletic career was a knee injury he received during his junior year. Parham had a torn cartilage and underwent knee surgery that prevented him from playing here half the season.

Under a hard¬ working sponsor and strong executive board, that is exactly what they did. “Class participation was at an all time high,” replied junior Naomi Lewis. With class support, the juniors sold every¬ thing from candy to first-aid kits, and produced the funds needed. The juniors found 101 ways to spend their money, but they were able to keep their priorities straight. Dona¬ tions were given to the United Way and the juniors sponsored a child at Christmas. However, most of their hard earned money went towards the Ring Dance held in April.

These precious pieces of prestige were sold by the Herff-Jones Co. in a wide variety of ring styles, shapes, sizes, jewels, stones, and engravings. Every student was able to order that special ring; the one that best represented his or her interests and sentiments. A class ring symbolizes many different things. It carries memories, establishes class unity, boasts of accomplishments, and expresses affection. The class ring will be cherished by its wearer forever. Tom Schafer: “My class ring is a symbol of the unity of the Class of ’85. It means we are individuals that will graduate together.” Ariana Watterlohn: “In the future it will hold a lot of high school memories for me to treasure.” Grace Han: “My class ring symbolizes both the great and difficult times of high school. It’s full of memories that I will cherish forever.” Laura Reed: “A class ring is a piece of memorabilia that will always be a link to the past.” Tracy Masuck: “A class ring is an important part of growing up. The fact that it is expensive means that your high school years are of value to you, and those who own rings keep them forever.” CLASS RINGS come in many shapes and sizes with different engravings and markings which symbolize the high school years in a special way. JUNIOR LELA ARCHER orders her class ring from the Herff-Jones representative. 170 Juniors Nei-Par Juniors Laura Parker Leonard Parks Wanda Parks Jeff Pearson Scott Pennington Lionel Perry Robyn Phillips Mike Pleasants Melissa Pokorny Lee Pollard Renee Popernack Tony Poslik Karen Powell Joe Preusser John Pritchard Greg Radcliffe Lisa Ramsey Fredrena Randall Anna Re Jo Re Lisa Redcross Laura Reed Tommy Reeps Dede Reppy Chrissy Rhodes Marcia Ricketson Antonette Ricks Troy Riggin Gregory Riley Steve Riss Alex Robbins Anthony Robbins Jack Roberts Leta Robinson Gary Rock Christiana Rohrer Martin Romjue Jan Rose Mike Rose Keith Rowe Lee Rowland Billy Rumburg Park-Sea Juniors 171 Juniors Tom Schafer Todd Scherrer Gene Schwartz Jon Schwartzman Cindy Seidnitzer Steven Sellers Brent Selnau Billy Sgrinia Lawrence Sheppard Gianina Shinpaugh Gerry Siewert Dawn Skwirut Deanna Smith Jamette Smith Janine Smith Susan Soule Kim Sparks Billy Spruill Charlotte Stacey Bill Stanley Sherrie Stapler Tina Steele Clark Stonewall Darren Swann Mari Taliaferro Lisa Tappen Loretta Taylor Patrick Taylor Lisa Teichmann Phil Thacker Lisa Thames Chuck Thomas Maria Thomas Allyson Thompson Karen Thompson Nathaniel Thompson Jim Tignor Kristy Tippetts Cyndee Torgler Dionne Trapp Loraine Triggs Cindy Triplett wr Veronica Turner Karen Van Hulle Cassandra Vann Melanie Vann Larry Vanover Pam Versher 172 Juniors Sch-Ver Juniors Shawn Vinson Denise Walden Cathy Walker Sara Walker William Walker Melvin Ward Claretha Washington Ariana Watterlohn Karen Watts Amy Weatherford Richard Weaver Chris Webb Wittenberg well-rounded musician { { wl Jiusic is a way to forget about | [everything that is on my mind, I V land when I play my violin I don’t think about anything except my music,” said junior Barbara Wittenberg. Wittenberg has developed a special talent for playing the violin, and she has performed at area concerts, schools, and churches. She has participated in regional and state competitions and plans to study music in college. She said her dream is to become a professional musician. Wittenberg comes from a musical family. Her older brother plays the violin and the guitar, her younger brother sings, her father plays the guitar, her mother plays the piano, and the entire family sings together. Wittenberg practices her violin at least two hours a day, and attributes her motivation to her mother. “She taught me how to practice and stick to what I begin,” said Wittenberg. Her aunt, a violin teacher, got her interested in music at the age of six. Barbara also has a keen interest in foreign languages. She knows English, German, Latin, and has studied French. She feels another career possibility for her is in a language related field, possibly translation. Barbara plans on enrolling at a university in West Germany when her family moves back to their home. Barbara is not addicted to rock music like most youths. She said she loves classical music because of its beauty and because it lasts. ‘‘Classical music is a part of me.” JUNIOR BARBARA WITTENBERG diligent ly hones her skills practicing for an upcoming concert. Vin-Webb Juniors 173 Juniors Bowen aspiring for Olympic fame and glory ( £ ■ guess I started cycling when I was 13. I had just finished I watching the movie ‘Breaking Away,’ and I was inspired by it,” replied junior Bobby Bowen. ‘‘I’ve been around bikes all of my life. I special ordered a 59 cm. blue Italian Colnago that costs around $2,000 (an arm and a leg). It’s just like a 10-speed, but only weighs 20 pounds and it doesn’t flex as much. It’s made of special alloys.” Bowen averages 30 miles practice a day and times himself on a ‘‘how far, how fast” basis. He starts out at his home on Nottingham Drive and rides to different locations every day, including areas like Ft. Monroe and down Chesapeake Avenue to Newport News. ‘‘I’ve had friends get hurt seriously with broken jaws and bones,” stated Bowen. He admits that there are some crazy, careless drivers out there. Despite this, Bobby has vowed to keep on riding. He won the Districts and State track championship last year, and for the past two years has qualified for Nationals. ‘‘I never had the money to go to Nationals (before), but I’m definitely going this year. This is my last year in the juniors,” he confirmed. In addition, Bowen has been selected to attend the U.S. Olympic training camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He’s among only 14 young bicycle racers to have been picked. An impressive performance could insure him a spot on the National Junior Cycling Team and possibly land him on the 1988 Olympic team. Several colleges with competitive cycling programs, including a school in Brussels, Belgium, have sent letters expressing an interest in recruiting him. Bowen explained that there are two types of cyclists - tourists and racers. When explaining the difference, he said, ‘‘The tourists are sane - the racers are masocists!” All in all, Bowen has won 11 trophies. The most in one day earnings he has won is $150. | l«| xss CYCLIST BOBBY BOWEN averages 250-300 miles of practice per week. 174 Juniors Juniors Kevin Weber Richard Weiss Josie Werder Kevin Wertman Steven Wesen Jack Westfall Susan Westlund Mary Wheless Janet White Michael White Bobby Whitehouse Earl Whitley, Jr. Maria Whitworth Brenda Williams John Williams Lisa Williams Santita Williams Tammy Williams Joe Williamson Scott Wills Kenny Wilson Lisa Wilson Barbara Wittenberg Amy Wolkowich Tammy Woodmansee Lovell Wooten Linda Wray Matt Yeargin Daniel Yohn Richard Young Web-Z Juniors 175 UMUHNi Seniors ’84 unites, gets involved £ C h S e have had a lot more P artic ' P at i° n from seniors V V this year, than the past years have,” said Nancy Toledo, secretary of the Senior Class. Nancy’s job involved keeping a notebook on activities. ‘‘We started with an estimated $1,000 from last year. Our first job was a booth at Hampton Bay Days, with a $200 profit,” she said. Seniors also participated in the Football Homecoming with a winning float constructed at Keith Turner’s house. The class gave a $25 donation to The United Way and handed out Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families. With more senior activities, such as the Prom, Graduation, Baccalaureate, Class Night, Senior Skip, and King’s Dominion, Nancy felt that ‘‘You just have to get more involved. There’s so much that you have to participate in, just to graduate.” His torian Renee Heustess agreed on the issue of participation. ‘‘The seniors really seemed to come closer and work together. It’s been an experience to remember.” OFFICERS - Top Row: Chaplain Jane Ken¬ nedy, President Kenny Coffey, Vice President Teresa Harper.

As keyboardist for the Earl Howard Cowboy Band, Randy had the chance to do just that. The band performed various types of music, including country and wes¬ tern, ’50’s rock, and variety at Lang¬ ley’s NCO and Officers’ Clubs, Surf- side, Moose Lodges, Fort Monroe’s Officers’ Club, and at wedding recep¬ tions. Although the band’s main focus was country and western, Randy said he preferred “anything BUT country.” He preferred hard rock, but admitted, “It’s not easy to write hard rock when it’s just me and the piano.” Besides keyboards, Randy also played tenor saxophone and sang back-up vocals in the band. He also tried his hand at songwriting. Although he enjoyed performing, Randy planned to major in electronic engineering, picking up a minor in music. “If music becomes a career, it will be purely by chance,” he said. AS A BACK-UP VOCALIST, Randy Hintz gets a chance to sing during a performance. ALLYSON L. CLARK: DECA 10; FBLA 10; Campus Life 10-12. WALTER A. CLARKE: Wrestling 10; SCA 10-12. KENNETH M.

The Texas Psycho? Senior Chuck Poole decided to make a statement about his talent for driving on his license plate. “When people ask me ‘Why?’ I explain that it is because I don’t do things normally, and I drive psychotical- ly. They give me funny looks. Nobody’s refused to ride with me, but they question my ability,’’ said Poole. He, like many others, obtained a list of personalized plates from the Division of Motor Vehicles to see what was available. “It only cost me $10,’’ he added. Some personalized license plates that were found in the student parking lot were WOTAN 1, SPRBEE, GO STU, PIC MUP, DONNA 3, KARYN C, BENE 1, RIKKIS, and KEYS. “It was the only thing I could think of. I wanted VA-TECH on my plates, but that was hopeless,’’ explained Karen Cowan of her KARYN C plates. THE TEXAS PSYCHO was a warning to all who dared to ride with Chuck Poole. TERESA A.

Donnell Lomax was one of the talented ones. Using pencils, charcoal, pastels, or oils, Donnell brought his paper or canvas to life with a perfect rendition of his subject. Donnell could draw anything, as long as he could see it. His drawings, for the most part, were portraits that sold for $8 and $25 each. “I strive for top likeness,” he said. “If it doesn’t look like them, then I don’t give it to them.” Donnell’s only formal training was an eleventh grade advanced painting class. He does not plan to take art in college. ‘‘If you go, and you’re self-taught, they’ll mess you up,” he said. MICHAEL JACKSON is captured in a life-like pastel drawing by Donnell Lomax.

MONTY WHITE HANDS OVER another $20, this time for class dues, to Mrs. Theresa Adams. Seniors Seniors pay for privilege R emember how you dreamed about being a senior? “Everything will be great then,” you said. But, nobody mentioned the money — the high cost of being a senior. It all started in April of the junior year with the purchase of a class ring. A nice ring with an average stone cost at least $150. Then, in August, just before the first day of officially carrying the title “Senior” came, portraits were taken. The sitting fee was $5 and package prices began at $36 and went up. With the opening of school came the usual materials and textbook fees, school supplies, activity cards, new clothes, gas for the car, and all those other things that made being a senior special. Following a brief respite, the expense of applying for college began. Each application required a fee of between $10 and $25. This got expensive for non-early decision applicants. December was yearbook time — a must for seniors. Books cost $17 or $18 with a $10 discount for those who had activity cards. January was announcement time. Seniors had to pay for cap and gown, extra tassels, announcements, calling cards, class keys, and scrapbooks. One was lucky to get by with less than a $50 investment. Cap and gown pictures were taken in February. The average cost was $36. Class dues were $10, and then the bills really started rolling in. A tux, or dress, dinner, flowers, more pictures (at the dance), a suit or dress for Baccalaureate and graduation, Class Night expenses, and money for “senior skip” weekend were all big budget items for most seniors. Finally, Commencement time arrived. There were parties, dinners with the family, guests from out-of-town, gifts for your best friends, and last, but not least, the folks had to fork out for your graduation present. Some students spent more, some spent less, but everyone had to spend, spend, spend. Well, after 12 years, it was worth it. CARLA E. MILLER QREQQ W. MILLER SHERRI A. MILLER: FHA 10; ICT 11,12.

Mil-Moo Seniors 187 Seniors Volunteers direct kids play WATCHING A REHEARSAL, senior Mindy Day pays close attention to the overall appearance of the play. W orking on a unique project, three devoted Drama Club seniors offered their talents and experience on a volunteer basis to elementary school students. Mindy Day directed the Phillips Elementary School’s presentation of “Where’s That Report Card?”. Day was assisted by Robin Falkenstein and Penney Wilson. The students in the Gifted and Talented Drama Program at the school were in need of someone experienced in production. Day, Falkenstein, and Wilson volunteered to meet with the students weekly for several months. “We organized, coached, and direct¬ ed their play,” explained Day. “We worked with them on a one-to-one basis and with the whole group.” The project proved to be a learning experience for both students and volunteers. “I learned more, or actually I took note of more, about drama,” said Falkenstein. “Teaching basic procedures brought out a few things that I took for granted.” These few things included facial expression, body movement, and stage voice. The students themselves were unique and interesting to work with. “They expressed their own ideas. In fact, they choreographed the play themselves,” stated Day. “They’re really talented kids. Once they got into it, they pushed themselves to do the best they could.” The hard work and effort paid off in May when the play was presented to the PTA and it proved to be a big success. “We all benefitted from it,” said Day. “It was a lot of fun, and it gives me a good feeling to help somebody learn something new.” MICHELLE F.

Pac-Pow Seniors 189 UMMQSMMBCK Seniors ‘Hey Teach!’ C oming up with lesson plans, giving quizzes, reviewing for tests and grading papers is all part of a teacher’s job, right? Not on Senior Day. On May 9, seniors took the roles of teachers and administrators and ran the school. Some taught classes all day, while others taught for one or two periods. Some went from class to class, substituting for several teachers. Others teamed up, with as many as four seniors teaching one class. While they enjoyed their newfound authority, seniors found that teaching can be difficult. “It’s a rough job,” observed Kim Koronas (Miss Spain). “She does a lot more than I thought.” Teachers agreed it was a good experience for seniors, and seniors agreed it was one to remember. Ron Spencer (Mrs. Dawkins) summed it up when he said, “I was the best teacher this school ever had.” MARTY MAY explains German grammer to first year students as Monte Lehmkuhler grades quizzes.

TILLEY l 192 Seniors Sia-Til Seniors Talent acts highlight night { £ his is the night traditionally set aside for seniors to make total fools of themselves,” said Class President Kenny Coffey in his opening remarks at Class Night. His statement was intended to apply to the seniors who would take to the stage, but it was a better description of the crowd, which quickly tired of some of the longer acts. Some acts imitated their favorite performers while music was piped over the public address system. Included were impersonations of Stevie Nicks and Prince. Dance numbers included Ladies of the ’80’s and Risky Business. Randy Hintz played two piano selec¬ tions, and Joe Taliaferro was featured in The Back Street Gang. Two humor¬ ous skits reflected on life in high school. Hall of Fame winners were an¬ nounced, but the highlight of Class Night was a parody of Michael Jackson’s Pepsi commercial, when the group changed the words from ‘‘You’re the Pepsi Generation to ‘‘You’re the Class of ’84.” The show ended with a powerful performance by Wotan, which was cut short when the house lights came on and the crowd began to leave.

Another follows suit, and another, and another. The exodus has begun. Meanwhile, in the Outer Banks town of Nags Head, residents prepare for an assault. An assualt led by hundreds of carefree high school students, who are free from Mom and Dad. Senior Skip Weekend is at hand. The days were filled with beach combing, swimming, Boogey-Boarding, tanning, burning, girl watching, and guy watching. The nights were hard to remember. “It was great, except everybody got busted,’’ said senior Andre Worm- ley. He was referring to a few unfortun¬ ate students who encountered the North Carolina police. Overall, how¬ ever, most seniors enjoyed their freedom during Senior Skip Weekend. JANINE C.

Wil-Zei Seniors 195 Graduation: the last hurrah O n a hot, muggy Tuesday, June 12, 418 seniors formally ended 13 years of hard work and dedication. Both nervous and excited, graduates and their families and friends could be seen milling around the Hampton Coliseum before the final line-up at 5:30 p.m. The tense moment finally arrived. Marching to “Pomp and Circum¬ stance,” seniors showed mixed emo¬ tions of apprehension, jubilation, and pride. After opening remarks by Principal Dennis O. Gillikin, Senior Class Pre¬ sident Kenny Coffey addressed his last words to the Class of ’84. Brief speeches were also given by Valedictorian Michele Heaphy, Salu- tatorian Tammy Coffey, and Superin¬ tendent of Hampton City Schools Dr. Donald Musselman. Seniors walked proudly across the stage to receive their diplomas from Principal Gillikin. Assistant Principal William Pearson called out the names of graduating seniors in record time. As the band played the “Alma Mater,” seniors tearfully hugged one another and turned the tassles on their mortarboards to signify graduation. The graduates marched out to the cheers and applause of the crowd. With the knowledge that this would be the last time that they would be together as a whole, the Class of ’84 captured its final moments with countless pictures and sad good-byes. ANTICIPATING THE HIGHLIGHT of the ceremony, receiving diplomas, seniors Trace Parham, Karl Malchow, Jerry Lawson, Dan Lacy, and Joe Kenyon wait in line in front of the stage. m 1 m w i ' ll ill Hi IB M .jm FINALLY, MICHELE HEAPHY, Valedictorian and one of the last three graduates to receive a diploma, shakes hands with Principal Dennis Gillikin as the Class of ’84 anticipates THE END.

Graduation 197 198 Local Support Local Support Backing sign of concern SHOPPERS FLOCK to Coliseum Mall for many reasons: to shop, to play video games, to go to a movie, or to just “hang out.” F rom the more than three hundred students that bought activity cards, the Warrior Boosters, to members of the Boosters’ Club and local business concerns, our support in financing this book, and the support of school activities in general, was excellent. For the first time in a decade, the yearbook staff was out selling advertising to help defray the cost of publishing. Firms owned by students’ parents, such as Lehmkuhler Realty, Turner’s Hardware, D G Bridal Service, and Diversified Businesses, helped us out at once. Other advertisers required more convincing, and Managing Editor Stephanie Potocko and her assistant Tracey Dawkins wore out some shoe leather, or used up some gas, contacting them. Patrons, advertisers, and organizations gave their financial backing, however, as a sign of their interest and concern for students. We sincerely hope that their faith in our efforts is realized in the pages of this book. With such outstanding local support, and with groups behind us like the dedicated Boosters, how could we be anything but “the best all around.”? Local Support 199 � 1 . m W 1 S a ■ T.

Club sponsors school projects { { ■ don’t know of any organization Ion the Peninsula who has I supported a school as much as the KHS Booster Club has supported Kecoughtan,” said Principal Dennis Gillikin. Organized in 1969, the Booster Club was originally comprised of parents of performing athletes. Those parents, like other interested patron organizations, wished to band together to assist and help finance the athletic program. Over the years, the organiza¬ tion evolved into simply a group of dedicated fans and supporters who continued to support the athletic program and expanded their philantro- phic organization to include other aspects of the school’s extra-curricular activities. Since 1972, the club has contribut¬ ed $150,000 to Kecoughtan. Some of its projects included the athletic storage shed, the baseball scoreboard, band uniforms, advertising in school publications, and sponsorship each year of delegates to Boys’ and Girls’ State. Most recently, the dream of having a well-equipped weight room came true when the Boosters donated $17,000 for the room and equipment. The equipment was selected with the help of a member of the University of Virginia’s weight training staff. Sponsors of a weekly bingo game in the cafeteria, the members of the club have devoted many long hours to raising money for their projects. In the spring of 1983, the membership was recognized on Awards Night when they received the Order of the Bow and Arrow, a distinction reserved for those who have contributed “above and beyond the call of duty.” Such recognition, however, cannot fully express the gratitude of many students and faculty to the members of the Booster Club who continue to help us reach our goal of excellence. Thank you, Boosters, for helping to make us “Best-All Around.” 200 Advertising KHS Students Strive for Excellence Iff • •• We’ll Support You ttt KHS Athletic Booster Club Advertising 201 BUSINESS SYSTEMS 1946 EAST PEMBROKE AVENUE, P O.

Well, let us acquaint you with the Kecoughtan activity card. The people you see pictured below were purchasers of the activity card, and were nicknamed “Warrior Boos¬ ters.” They not only helped to support school publications, but they also contributed to the support of teams. Warrior Boosters James Ja- chimowski, Frances Burgdorf, Keith Cohen, and Tammy Coffey were winners of free merchandise during half-times at home football games. Activity card numbers were drawn at random as a special bonus for those who purchased the cards. The Warrior Boosters gave their support to their school and helped make it “the Best-AII-Around.” .

O ne of the best aspects of being a high school student was that you finally got to drive your own car. However, with this privilege came the responsibili¬ ty of taking care of your automobile. These were a few of the expenses connected with having a car in 1984: First, no normal high school student could have gone through all three years without crashing. A good rear- ender cost about $1,200. Paint jobs ran anywhere from $100 to $750. Having a new transmis¬ sion installed cost around $500. Gas, on a weekly average, ran around $10-$15. For the brainless ones that squealed their tires at every corner, new tires cost about $40 each. A tune-up ran around $40 also. An inspection was $7, and an oil change was approx¬ imately $5 for two quarts. 1073 W. Mercury Blvd. Hampton, Va. 23666 838-5450 uoson otors eebles DEPARTMENT SORES You Mean A Lot To Us Peebles Dept.

Planned and direct¬ ed by Mrs. Billie Einselen, coordinator of the Newspaper in Education Division, the day¬ long workshop is a valuable experience for aspiring reporters and photographers. Held February 11, the work¬ shop provided oportunities for students to tour departments, talk to professional journalists, and watch a press run. “I took the layout work¬ shop,” said senior Neil Norton. “It was very informative.” “It was worth going to so you could talk to people who do the job you’re trying to do,” said senior Stephanie Potocko. The workshop included classes in layout, feature writ¬ ing, news writing, sports writ¬ ing, and computers. Students were able to choose two of the classes to attend and were served a bountiful buffet lunch. All journalism students from high schools on the Peninsula were invited to attend.

Spring fever marks the end T he days warmed, the sun bright¬ ened, and the flowers bloomed while the end of the school year drew near. Students’ thoughts turned from studies and schoolwork. Age-old traditions continued, and “spring fever” rose to epidemic proportions. While seniors grew anxious and prepared for graduation, sophomores and juniors prepared for the up-coming school year as SCA and class officers were elected in an atmosphere of anticipation and school spirit.

Cars trailed down Mercury Boulevard June 12 and headed toward the Hampton Coliseum and final rites of graduation. Green and white clad seniors filed into their seats. As proof of excellence, academic and athletic scholarships, totaling over half a million dollars, were awarded to members of the Class of ’84. The nineteenth graduating class proudly crossed the stage with a sense of personal and school-wide accom¬ plishment, proving once again that Kecoughtan is “THE BEST-ALL- AROUND.” SEND IN THE CLOWNS: Junior Allyson Thompson is transformed into a mournful clown by a fellow student in her acting class.
