Gilli- kin. “A year that we devote to improving, expanding, and pol¬ ishing the programs we already have in exis¬ tence,” he explained. And so, a theme was born — “Fine Tun¬ ing.” But, what exactly did “Fine Tuning” mean? Webster’s Dictionary defined it as “to come or bring into harmony, or to adjust for precise functioning.” “For the Senior Class,” said sponsor Ms. Emma Flood, “‘Fine Tuning’ means reorga¬ nizing and making plans for the completion of an outstanding year.” Gillikin repeated his message over the P.A. system the first day of school. “Welcome back,” he said. “We expect no major changes this year. We have come through a big adjust¬ ment period. We hope to experience a year of ‘Fine Tuning’ in all areas. Good luck!” “For me, ‘Fine Tuning’ means studying hard, getting good grades, and becoming in¬ volved in extra-curricular activities,” said sophomore Richard Walters. For the City of Hampton and nearby military bases, “Fine Tuning” meant improv¬ ing community relations by celebrating Hampton’s 375th birthday and sponsoring community appreciation days. “Fine Tuning” also meant improving in¬ structional methods, creating Study Express, improving scores on the SAT’s and reducing the failure rate. “Fine Tuning” meant different things to different people, but, over-all, it meant a con¬ tinuing pursuit of excellence. A WORK OF ART: Juniors paint signs for their Homecoming fioat. “Fine Tuning” meant work¬ ing together as a c tass to achieve success. 2 Theme IN PERFECT HARMONY: The Thunderbirds perform precision flying over Langley Air Force Base In a salute to Hamptonlans on Community Appre¬ ciation Day, October 19.

Theme Summertime ' And the living is easy ' ree at last! When the last bell rang June 13, under¬ classmen raced for bus¬ es, the student parking lot, or took to the side¬ walk to begin eight weeks of freedom from classes, more commonly called “summer vacation.” Although most of the summer was marked by scorching heat that often sent the mercury soaring into the upper 90’s and a drought that had Hampton residents ration¬ ing their water supply, beach lovers and sur¬ fers took great delight in the blazing sun and cloudless days. They grabbed their gear and headed for the sand and the waves. “I went boogie boarding and laid out on the beach at Nags Head. I also met a lot of interesting people,” said senior Jeff Coving¬ ton. Long awaited family vacations took stu¬ dents as far West as California and as far East as New York where the grand celebra¬ tion of the Statue of Liberty’s birthday took place over the Fourth of July weekend. “The experience I had that weekend was wonderful because I saw so many different kinds of people and discovered a new side of New York City,” said senior Lisa Vega. Bethel High School overflowed with 1,250 students who found their freedom cur¬ tailed because of summer school. “The teacher I had didn’t give us home¬ work except to finish our work, so, after 2 p.m., the rest of the day was mine,” said se¬ nior April Southall. Other students found jobs and spent their summers earning cash. Senior Michael Brown worked at Peebles Department Store at the Village Square Shops in Willow Oaks. “It kept me busy, provided a good job ex¬ perience for the future and I earned continued on page 6 LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT!

Summertime f Summertime continued from page 4 money to buy a car,” explained Brown. School leaders and academic achievers spent a large part of the summer involved in enrichment programs, and attending worksh¬ ops or camps. Editors of Tribal Tales and the Toma¬ hawk attended workshops at Virginia Com¬ monwealth University and Princeton Univer¬ sity. Seniors Mark Heaphy, George Dou¬ gherty, and Robb Lanum went to Governor’s School at Mary Baldwin College. Twenty rising seniors were delegates to American Legion Boys’ State and American Legion Auxiliary’s Virginia Girls’ State in June. Senior Kris Pelham, a delegate to Girls’ State, was one of two girls selected to repre¬ sent Virginia at Girls’ Nation in Washington, D.C. “I had a great time at Girls’ Nation,” said Pelham. “I learned a lot about govern¬ ment and met President Reagan. However, I would never want to be a politician.” Drum Majors Tom Smith, Tier Thomas, and Kenya Yarbrough attended band camp in Westchester, Pennsylvania and varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders spent a week at cheerleading camp in Richmond bringing home the Spirit Stick. “It was a great experience for all of us. We learned more about each other and many new cheers. It was a lot of fun,” said senior Melanie Morison. Football players, band members, flag twirlers, and majorettes returned early in August to prepare for the football se ason. The heat made the long and gruelling practices that began August 10 for the football team “tough.” “We started early and finished late. The practices weren’t easy, but they really paid off,” said junior defensive end Butch Tolley. For many students and school personnel, the year of “Fine Tuning” began long before September 2 when students reported for the first day of classes. Summertime WELCOME HOME CHAMP!

Summertime ‘Tuning In’ First weeks chaotic, fun ool winds from Canada and fall¬ like temperatures made going back to school more pleasant for the 1826 students who showed up the first day. Numerous schedule changes and an unbelievable lunch situation compli¬ cated matters as students tuned into the routine of school. The first week of school was some what chaotic, unorganized — the same as always. But, it was good to be back,” said senior Dawnell Draper. Tuning In” meant resuming study habits and routines. It wasn ' t easy! After summer, it was really hard to get back into the swing and start work¬ ing for school,” explained senior Kathie Krumpen. Topics of conversation included the no-smoking ban, the first football game, when the 1986 annual would ar¬ rive, and the Hooters. For frenzied fans, the Hooters ' performance at Bay Days, September 13, was a great way to start the year. We had so much fun at the Hoot¬ ers ' Concert. It ' s something I ' ll always remember,” said junior Lori Hilbert. Lockers were assigned, books is¬ sued, friendships made, plans coordi¬ nated, and activities scheduled — the year of Fine Tuning” was underway. ONE PLEASE!

You can’t have one without the other,” said se¬ nior Melanie Morison. groups were foremost in student life. January and February were marked by final exams, basketball games and Homecoming, and the start of a new semester. College applications were at hand and part time jobs helped break the monoto¬ ny of winter months. “I finally got my applications in, and now I just have to enjoy the rest of my senior year and gradu¬ ate,” said senior Jean Evans.

Football games, picnics. Bay Days, and informal get-togethers occupied their time. In October, Homecoming topped the list of social events, and in November and December, the play, “Diary of Anne Frank,” par¬ ades and appearances for musical ing very special times: Spring Break, the Ring Dance, Prom, the Awards Assembly, Class Night, and Senior Skip. In June, students raced to the beach to begin yet another summer of fun. For seniors, the time had come to say goodbye. The song was over, but not forgotten. They would always recall the “Looney Tunes” of 1987. Student Life Divider EYE OF THE WARRIOR: Emily Keith eyes the members of the Warwick Raiders football team at the Homecoming game, October 17.

Student Life Divider Fresh Start Friends mingle at Bay Days, Bash, games eptember was a month to “grab the last bit of summer fun,” “to see the Hooters at Bay Days,” to “catch up with all the summer gossip,” “to make new friends,” and to start “a brand new me!” As students poured into the school in September, old friends embraced and exchanged schedules while new students struggled to find classes. It was time to get started with the famil¬ iar routine. First on a busy schedule was a football game, September 5, against Phoebus. Although rain threatened a cancellation, the game resulted in a 10- 7 victory as fans huddled under um¬ brellas to stay dry. “It was really fun watching that first game. We were all under one um¬ brella trying to stay dry. Somehow, I ended up soaked anyway,” said fresh¬ man Amy Obeck. The annual Bay Days celebration, September 12-14, drew hundreds of students who joined the estimated 500 thousand fun-seekers in the festivities. The Parade of Sails and opening cere¬ monies began the event on Friday. That night, students screamed and applau¬ ded as the Hooters took the stage for a two and one-half hour concert. “The Hooters were the most ‘turbo’ ever. It really seemed like all of Hampton was there, waiting for the next song,” said junior Jimmy Shotwell. Underclassmen pictures were tak¬ en for the yearbook and the first pep rally, September 12, brought the clas¬ ses together for t he first time. At the pep rally, sophomores and juniors tried to get their acts together, while seniors, who had been organizing all summer, were definitely in top form, drowning out the competition. Freshmen and ex¬ change students looked on in bewilder¬ ment. “I’ve never been to anything continued on page 15 GIRL TALK!

We just go to school.” On what seemed like just any oth¬ er Thursday, students displayed little yellow signs saying, “Fm going.” It was time for the annual Campus Life Burger Bash at Gosnold’s Flope Park. Over 250 students from area high schools gathered for an afternoon of games and food. They consumed over 600 McDonald’s hamburgers delivered by fire truck. “The Burger Bash was really a great time for everyone involved. The best part was watching my friends play games in the grass like kindergart- ners,” said junior Stephanie Ingram. “The month ended in a flurry of signing yearbooks as the 1986 Toma¬ hawk finally arrived. “It was great to finally get the yearbook,” said senior Patti Worth. “It brought back so many good memories of last year. I hope this year will be as much fun.” September Spirit reigns Homecoming game high point of month ctober was a month to “get into school spirit,” “to go to some great football games,” “to really enjoy Homecoming, Spirit Week, and all the fun,” “to order class rings,” “to go to Charlottesville,” and “to watch the leaves turn into autumn co¬ lors.” October meant Homecoming and all the attendant activities. First, Spirit Week offered students oppor tunities to dress as their favorite character, sup¬ port their favorite college, or reminisce on ’50’s Day. The climax of the week was the pep rally Friday, the parade at 5:30 p.m., and the game against War¬ wick Friday night. “I felt Spirit Week was a week to go all out and have fun. I was upset that many people did not participate. I think it was a lack of communication and the students did not know about it. Next time, they should publicize it more,” complained junior Stephanie Ingram. Despite the 12-0 loss to Warwick, Homecoming gave classes and clubs a chance to come together and express school spirit. Seniors swept the compe¬ tition, winning the“Most Participation during Spirit Week,” the Spirit Jug at the pep rally, and First Place in the float competition. “It was fun being in the Home¬ coming Parade, but Homecoming would have been better if we had won the game,” said junior Beth Wither¬ spoon. Workshops and field trips ranked high on the list of activities for October. Journalism students attended two workshops, one at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, Virginia, Octo¬ ber 4, and the annual Virginia High School League Publications Workshop on the campus of the University of Vir¬ ginia in Charlottesville, October 25 continued on page 19 ' 7 CROWN THEE.J” Kim Chlaramida crowns the 1986 Homecoming Queen, Yvette Cor¬ mier during the annual halftime show at the Homecoming game.

Spirit reigns continued from page 16 and 26. “The workshop in Charlottesville was rewarding. Not only did I learn new approaches to writing for the newspaper and yearbook, I also en¬ joyed seeing the university,” said senior David Rhodes. Over two hundred students trav¬ eled to Jefferson’s retreat, Monticello in Charlottesville, on a combined En¬ glish and history field trip in early Oc¬ tober. “The trip to Monticello was a lot of fun besides being a great learning ex¬ perience,” said junior Michelle Wood- mansee. “But, the best part was going to UVA.” Juniors, eagerly anticipating their rise to the top, ordered class rings, and students planned Halloween parties and costumes. Too old to go “trick or treating,” some students wore their costumes to school to amuse class¬ mates. “Wearing a costume was fun,” said sophomore Chris Welsh. “With my mask on, I didn’t have to worry about being foolish. Also, I scared a few people by coming around the corner. However, I disliked some of the crude remarks,” said Welsh. The month ended on a high note. A 16-5 victory over the state cham¬ pions, Hampton High School, October 24 made “You Can Crush a Crab” the slogan of the month. “This year’s victory over Hamp¬ ton was outstanding,” said senior Gary Long. “The Hampton game showed real sportsmanship and a great desire to win,” he added. October 19 Play-time The Diary of Anne Frank’ earns praise ovember was a good month “to rake up leaves,” “to get a job and earn some money for Christmas- “to go shopping for winter clothes,” “to apply to college and take SAT’s,” “to con¬ tribute to the Thanksgiving Basket drive,” and “to enjoy a holiday with rel¬ atives.” “Applying to college can be very hectic. You have to write to a lot of col¬ leges and you spend a lot of money. It can be very worrisome,” said senior Ann Schwartz. The month of November vanished in a flurry of activity for st udents who looked forward to the holidays and a “real vacation” in December. A TAG cookout before the Lafayette game, re¬ port cards, SAT’s, field trips, and play rehearsals broke the normal routine the first two weeks of the month. The Drama Club’s production of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Novem¬ ber 13 and 14, drew raves from stu¬ dents who attended and from those who worked on some aspect of the play. Di¬ rected by senior Allen Glover, the play required the talents of many students. “There were a lot of personal problems with the production,” said se¬ nior Dana Clark. “But, it all worked out for the best and I hope that we brought to life “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Over two hundred English stu¬ dents attended a play at Christopher Newport College, November 14, and French, science, and Home Economics students also boarded buses for a field trip in November. “I thought the play we saw was fantastic,” said senior Toni Pardue. “It was a real learning experience. I learned a lot about what goes into the production of a play.” Students in need of Christmas cash found part-time jobs, while others took Mom’s charge cards, or shopped at thrift shops like the continued on page 22 HEY, THIS IS A STEAL!

November “I thought the play at Christopher Newport provided an experience for people and ex¬ posed them to something unique that they did not learn about in school.” Kris Pelham “At first, it was difficult to accept new mem¬ bers at the Natural Helpers’ retreat in Wil¬ liamsburg. But, when the retreat was over, I felt as if we were a family.” Maria Reduto November Play-time continued from page 20 DAV (Disabled American Veterans) for new fall fashions. “I did my Christmas shopping in November to avoid large crowds and hectic sales lines,” said freshman No- reen Krahner. For DAV shoppers, the goal was to be unique, and to enjoy an alterna¬ tive to expensive clothes. “You never look like anyone else,” said junior Susie Renn. “No one else has the same clothes and they really have a lot of class and charm. There is always something different to be found.” The annual Hampton Christmas Parade, although sharply reduced in size because of heavy rain, launched the holiday season. “I got up that morning to go take pictures of the parade,” said senior photographer James Smith. “But, none of the bands or ROTC units marched because it was raining. It was a big dis¬ appointment.” A Natural Helpers Retreat at the George Washington Motor Inn in Wil¬ liamsburg was a mixture of fun and friendship, plus serious discussions and training sessions. “The retreat was different than I thought it would be,” said sophomore Stephanie Raines. “I had a great time and I’d like to go on another one soon,” she added. The annual collection of canned goods for the SCA’s Thanksgiving Bas¬ ket project closed out the month. Clubs, classes, individuals, and organi¬ zations all contributed canned goods or cash to help needy families on the Pen- ninsula. Finally, it was Thanksgiving. The two day holiday from school was a time to enjoy traditional Thanksgiving feasts with friends, family, and assort¬ ed relatives. I went home to Georgia,” said se¬ nior Robb Lanum. ’’Even though I didn’t know much about the area, it was fun being with the family,” L.

Students dec¬ orated doors and classrooms for the an¬ nual SCA Door Decorating Contest. They trimmed trees, devoted time to charitable projects, practiced for Christmas assemblies, and planned parties and trips for over the holidays. “I looked forward to the Campus Life Ski Trip in the Poconos, and to be¬ ing with all my friends,” said junior Lori Hilbert. “For a gift, my parents gave me a vacation to Hawaii,” said junior Jen¬ nifer Kersis. “While I was basking in the sun, I did my history paper thinking for a brief moment about school,” she added. Early in December, D.E. students opened the annual Christmas Craft Shop. Students and teachers were able to beat the crowds in the malls by shop¬ ping in the store. “I enjoyed looking at all the continued on page 27 $$$$!

An out¬ standing student. Draper’s death was a shock to her family and friends. “It was just so shocking that she was in class one day and the next day she was gone,” said senior Emily Mag- ers. Overshadowed by Draper’s death, the week before Christmas vacation was a sober one. Many students and faculty members attended a Memorial Service, Tuesday, December 16. The annual Christmas Assembly by the band and chorus provided a wel¬ come relief, December 17. Then, final¬ ly, it was December 19 and school was recessed for two weeks-the long awai¬ ted holiday was at hand. “My Christmas was good because I saw my friends and family, but the same feeling wasn’t there. It wasn’t like being a kid again. Nevertheless, I was pleased with what I received,” said se¬ nior Stephanie Woodring. Parties, family get-togethers, and the Fort Eustis Basketball Tournament all contributed to time flying by over the vacation period. New Year’s Eve was an important night, especially for seniors who knew that 1987 meant graduation and many changes in their lives. “We were in New York for New Year’s Eve,” said senior Meg Gorski. “We were two blocks from Times Square and when they started the count down, we rushed out to watch the big apple drop for 1987. It was truly ex¬ citing.” Other students spent time on the ski slopes or worked extra hours to re¬ plenish their bank accounts. For some, Christmas was bittersweet. “I had a fine Christmas, except my friend moved away and I felt sad. My friend’s departure really affected my Christmas. I hope I have a better one next year,” said senior Carole Richards. December proved to be a month of contrasts as alternating moods of joy and sorrow prevailed. OH. TANNENBAUM! Katie Wood.

December Snow Exams, homecoming days clash; pep rally off J anuary was a good month “to get out of school a whole bunch of days,” “to study for exams,” “to play in the snow like little kids,” “to _ make New Year’s resolutions,” “to observe Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday,” “to enjoy Basketball Homecoming,” and “to start a new semester.” After the long winter break, stu¬ dents settled down to review for exams and prepare for Basketball Homecom¬ ing in mid-January. Although the pep rally was cancelled because of faculty concern about approaching examina¬ tions, other homecoming activities went on as scheduled. “1 didn’t think it was right to can¬ cel the pep rally because teachers knew we had exams and they shouldn’t have let us down like that,” said junior Amy Wheeler. For the first time, a Homecoming King was elected by the Senior Class. Senior Jason Wallace was introduced as the King during halftime activities and he crowned senior Christy Hill the 1987 Homecoming Queen. “I felt it was a great honor to be chosen by my fellow students to repre¬ sent them as Homecoming King,” said Wallace. Other Homecoming attendants were Melanie Carwile and Courtney Ritenour, freshmen; Stephanie Raines and Shawn Tarver, sophomores; Heather Fuller and Tina Corbin, jun¬ iors; and Marie Nguyen and Jennifer Brown, seniors. Attendants and their escorts were presented during halftime at the Homecoming game and walked through an Arch of Sabers.

Ethan Lee and Sean Sears catch the wind off of Langley Yacht Club, January 19, a school holiday. Snow days continued from page 28 Conner and the Stars and Stripes com¬ peting for the America’s cup, it was a chance to take his sailboat out on the Bay. “As the wind picked up, my crew, Sean Sears, stepped out onto the tra¬ peze. Then the boat was off on a fast plane over the icy waters off of the Lan¬ gley Yacht Club, ’’said Lee. Other students took advantage of the three day weekend and the weather conditions to go to Wintergreen or Massanutten for skiing. “Skiing was great that day. It took us a long time to get to Wintergreen be¬ cause of the snow, but when we finally got there it was worth the wait,’’ said junior Denese Wilkins. Exams began January 21 and pro¬ ceeded as scheduled, but teachers were robbed of workdays, January 26 and 27, when the first major snow storm of the season hit the Peninsula. Students did not mind, however. The two-day “snow vacation’’ was a chance to get to¬ gether with friends for snowball fights and “a chance to be a kid again.’’ “It was the first time I’ve been in snow for three years. We had a snow¬ ball fight and wrestled around in the snow. It was really great,’’ said sopho¬ more Andy Geith. The start of a new semester, Janu¬ ary 28, brought seniors a step closer to Graduation, but it was expensive. Class dues of $20 were due, yearbooks were on sale, and announcements and invita¬ tions had to be ordered. In addition, caps and gowns were ordered and prom plans finalized. It was a month of big expectations and “big bucks.’’ “Graduation should be a time to think about graduating, not having to worry about whether or not you can pay for it. It’s really expensive,’’ said senior Chuck Wise. OQnii£Lr j dO your OHlfus COUNTING THE DAYS! Jackie Scull studies the announcement for cap and gown or¬ ders and class dues. GET DOWN!

F ebruary was a good month “for the school board to wish it had scheduled snow days,” “to send your sweetie a Valentine,” “to try your luck on Friday the 13th,” “to not break up with your boyfriend,” “to work extra hours to help pay class dues and other expenses,” “to worry about being accepted to college,” and “to dream about spring.” February was a month of mid¬ winter contrasts. First, warm, balmy days sent students outside for im¬ promptu football and basketball games, and, then, a second winter snow storm hit the Peninsula giving students two more days of vacation that would have to be made up. “I had a great time the days it snowed, although I knew we would have to make them up. That’s the only part I don’t like about snow,” said ju¬ nior Dain Wilson. Model U.N. members enjoyed even more time off from the daily rou¬ tine when they attended a two-day meet at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. continued on page 34 SIGN HERE!

Practically the whole world was there, dancing and singing right along with Phil Collins.” John League February 33 Mid-winter continued from page 32 “The Model UN convention at ODU gave everyone an opportunity to meet new people from all over the state, just in time for Valentine’s Day,” said senior April Southall. Various clubs were engaged in Valentine-related fund raisers and the result was a fun-filled day, Friday the 13th, when lovers exchanged gifts of carnations, balloons, and candy. Those people lucky enough to be the object of someone’s affection were the envy of the rest of the members of a class in¬ terrupted by a delivery. “When I received my flowers, it made me feel really special and made me realize how much my friends mean to me,” said junior Karen Watts. As the winter sport season ended, individual standouts received recogni¬ tion. Senior forward Christy Hill made First Team All-District and All-Penin¬ sula, and seniors Dwight Holder and Doxie Jordan, football standouts, re¬ ceived four-year athletic scholarships to the University of North Carolina. Another talented senior, Christine Knight, entered the Miss Hampton- Newport News Pageant and was named fourth runner-up. Knight sang “Somewhere,” from “West Side Story,” for her talent. The talk at lunch during February was about the contro versial CBS mini¬ series, “Amerika,” or who had tickets to the Genesis concert at the Coliseum, February 20 and 21. “I had to watch the ‘Amerika’ se¬ ries for my history class. By the end of the week, I was really tired of it,” said junior Karen Stern. February was also Black History Month, Presidents’ Birthday Month, college acceptance month, and the last chance to order the 1987 yearbook. “It was a month to take a look into your future and wonder what you would be doing next year,” said senior Jason Wallace.

Over forty formally-clad couples danced the night away to the theme of “The Greatest Love of All,” March 21. “GOOD GRIEF, CHARLIE BROWNI” Cristen Collins, Lucy In “You’re A Good Man, Char¬ lie Brown , checks out her Image In the Dra¬ ma Club ' s musical, presented March 12 and 13 In the auditorium. HO, HUM! Jay GorskI and Susan Margulles slow dance to one of the many tunes played at the Ring Dance, March 21. The dance was held In the cafeteria. For many, late parties or early breakfasts were part of the fun. “I had a breakfast party at my house, starting at 1:30 a.m.,” said ju¬ nior Karen Stern. “By 3 a.m. there was no food left and people were asleep all over the house,” she explained. Queen of the Junior Ring Dance Lorraine Redcross led the traditional ring-turning ceremony that officially locked the rings on the 88th turn. “The ring-turning is a tradition carried from year to year. It was really fun finding 88 people to turn your ring in about five days,” said junior Amy Bassett. Weeks of hard work paid off in March for members of the chorus and band who presented their annual Spring Concerts, March 18 and 19. Over thirty band members were continued on page 38 ONE MORE TIME MAKES 881 Hugh Mllteer and Michelle Harry carry out the tradition of turning rings at the annual Ring Dance, March 21.

Then, giving blood didn’t seem so bad.” Denese Wilkins “For me, the play was a real challenge be¬ cause I had to be a boy. But, despite the hard work, we had a great time getting ready and performing ‘Charlie Brown.’” Eva Montanez azine- March Ring Dance continued from page 36 selected for All-City Band. “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” directed by senior Dana Clark, was presented March 12-13. The second Drama Club production of the year, the musical drew rave re¬ views. “I thought it was a very good pro¬ duction. You could tell that the cast re¬ ally put a lot of hard work into the per¬ formance,” said junior Traci Turner. Taking advantage of a balmy day, AP English students traveled to the Virginia Museum in Richmond to view “Amen Corner,” by James Baldwin. “It was excellent. I really enjoyed the field trip,” said senior Robb Lan- um. Trying to do their part (and get a day off from school), juniors and sen¬ iors rolled up their sleeves to give blood in the annual Red Cross Blood Drive, March 12. After recovering from the initial lightheaded feeling, many donators joined friends to spend the rest of the day shopping, planning for the week¬ end, or just catching up on lost sleep. “I wasn’t sure if giving blood and practically fainting was worth it. But, when I got home and I knew everyone else was still at school, I was glad I do¬ nated,” said senior Pat Young. “In like a lion and out like a lamb,” March heralded the arrival of spring.

Band mem¬ bers traveled to Canada to perform be¬ fore Parliament, while several students went to Florida to enjoy some fun in the sun. Sponsored by Campus Life, many students went to Disney World and Ep- cot for five days in April. “We had a great time in Florida. It was really worth the money. We got to meet a lot of other people. I wish I could go next year,” said senior Jeff Covington. Scaling mountains and fording rivers appealed to 14 students who grabbed their backpacks and tents to hike the Applachians.

The Model General Assembly took part in a mock convention in Rich¬ mond to learn the legislative processes of government. “It was a great learning experi¬ ence, and a lot of fun, too,” said junior Ralph Butler. Selected students also attended a presentation by ex-policeman and re¬ covered drug addict David Toma in the Hampton Coliseum. Toma packed a full house as he yelled and pleaded with students to stay away from drugs and other dependencies. “David Toma really made a lot of sense. Now, I’m sure I will never try drugs. I would like to thank him,” said junior Todd Trimpert. April 16, six contestants donned evening gowns and displayed their ta¬ lents in the annual Miss KHS Pageant, sponsored by the Senior Class. Junior Cathy Thomas was crowned Miss KHS 1987 by last year’s winner, senior Christine Knight. “I wasn’t expecting them to call my name, but when they did and I knew I had won, I couldn’t believe it,” said Thomas. Other events included an Open House for middle school Gifted Stu¬ dents, hosted by the administration, April 29. ANTICIPATION!

Several couples, hoping to make the evening more exciting, rented limousines and enjoyed a TV, stereo, and champagne driving to and from the Prom. “The limousine ride was the most exhilarating experience of my life. It was so relaxing to just sit back and enjoy one of the most extravagant moments I’ve ever had,” said senior Arash Farahvashi.

I worried about it for almost the whole semester and, after I turned it in, I could forget it and enjoy Senior Skip,” said junior Lisa Jones. Students who excelled academically were honored at Awards Night, May 6. ROTC scholarships were presented and each academic area gave awards to top achievers. Twenty juniors were chosen to attend either Governor’s School or American Legion Boys’ and Girls’ State. The National Honor Society inducted new members. May 5. “I have always wanted to be chosen for National Honor Society because it is an honor to be thought that highly of by my teachers,” said junior John Darnell. Senior Week, May 18-22, was a first for the school. Each day seniors were treated to an early lunch dismissal, table¬ cloths in the cafeteria, and extra-special treatment from teachers and underclass¬ men. The Class of ’87 presented each graduate with a T-Shirt on Thursday and Friday witnessed the senior exodus to Nags Head. “It was better to leave for Nags Head on Thursday night, because you not only missed the traffic, you got an extra night of partying,” said senior Tim Bel¬ cher. Monday, Memorial Day, but a “snow day makeup” for Hampton, the halls were empty. Seniors were still vaca¬ tioning in Nags Head and many under¬ classmen apparently thought that they deserved a holiday as well. However, by the middle of the week, preparations were underway for Class Night, May 28. It was a special night for seniors as they rec¬ ognized and rewarded those individuals who had assisted the class in its endeav¬ ors. Senior Class Sponsor Ms. Emma Flood received the Bow and Arrow. “Ms. Flood has done an outstanding job as class sponsor. She has given so much of her time, energy, and support to the Class of ’87. She truly deserved the Bow and Arrow for ‘above and beyond the call of duty,’” said Mrs. Joel Grimm, yearbook adviser and member of the Bow and Arrow committee.

The baseball team lost in the semi-final, but the girls hosted the State-final game at Francis Asbury, June 5. “So many people showed up for those last games, it was unbelievable.

June 13 was overcast and rain threatened to spoil Commencement exer¬ cises for the 356 graduates, but all went as scheduled except for a massive traffic jam on Mercury Boulevard. After an hour and a half, the Class of 1987 was launched into the future at 1:30 p.m. “1 couldn’t believe I was really out of high school, even as I held my diploma. But, then everyone was running around hugging and crying. I knew it was the end,” said senior Jeff Viniski. 48 June “IT’S OVER!

C urriculums were expanded, new concepts were introduced, em¬ phasis on im¬ proving test scores was increased, the failure rate was lowered, and instructional methods were improved as part of the overall effort to “Fine Tune” ac¬ ademic disciplines. For all personnel, “Fine Tun¬ ing” was most apparent in academic areas. area colleges provided students with first hand information, and exposed them to other cultures. Over one hundred science stu¬ dents entered projects in a Science Fair in January, and foreign lan¬ guage students hosted a series of speakers and cultural experiences for Foreign Language Week in March. Student athletes were required to pass five subjects, in order to be eligible to play, under “Pass-to- Play” ruling endorsed by the school Academics In order to improve student performance in class and on stan¬ dardized tests, additional math clas¬ ses, special tutoring sessions, and Study Express were established by the administration. Teachers were asked to account for failures and committees were formed to review curriculum and revise city-wide fi¬ nal exams. Field trips to historic spots, like Jefferson’s Monticello in Char¬ lottesville, Virginia, museums, and system. “The new ‘Pass-to-Play’ rule motivates athletes to do well in the classroom, not just on the court or field. That is important in preparing for the future,” said senior Toni Par- due. As the failure rate went down and SAT scores improved, it was ev¬ ident that “Fine Tuning” in aca¬ demics was a success for students and faculty. Academics Divider ' ■ ' THE PRESSURE IS ON!

Some stare in disbelief at the problem. Others are oblivious to the fact that they are in fifth period. “I think that who ever invented Algebra II should be shot in the face with a bazooka,” exclaimed junior Dawn Casavant as she tried to solve Mrs. Tarkenton’s problem. While the name of the game was numbers, taking notes, responding, and napping occasionally were all part of the typical math class. ‘‘Basic Foundations is a class where you learn practical applica¬ tions in math,” said Mr. Steve Snaid- man. Mr. Thomas Millen’s fifth period trig class sat transfixed before the board as he talked about cosines and tangents. Senior Doxie Jordan conten¬ ded with an ‘‘ugly problem” on the board. Math was not the only class where numbers were involved. Using calcula¬ tors and workbooks, Mr. I.G. Warner’s Accounting class worked with numbers everyday. “The math work is easy. All you do is add and subtract. You just put the numbers in the right place,” said senior Robbie Dubberly. Equating problems in physics and chemistry also meant working with numbers. In Mr. Arthur Armstead’s Introduction to Physics class, stu¬ dents had to figure out the rate of such things as kinetic energy and power. “Algebra II really helped me out with the math in physics,” commented senior Lynn Cormicle. Working with numbers was an on¬ going process. “I thought I’d be done with math by now, but it seems like every class I take has numbers involved,” said senior Celeste LeDeaux.

Computer whiz masters Apple With his piercing blue eyes and close cropped blond, almost white hair, junior Sean McKenzie seems like an ordinary teenager concerned with music, movies, and mayhem. But, McKenzie is anything but ordi¬ nary. He is a computer whiz kid. McKenzie spends all of his lei¬ sure time, two to eight hours a day, sitting in front of his Apple 2C up¬ graded ROM, with a uni-disc 3.5 and an Imagewriter printer, computer. “I like watching the technology grow. It’s hard keeping up with it. The only problem is that my parents get a little upset because it’s so ex¬ pensive trying to keep up and up¬ grade my computer,” explained McKenzie. Although McKenzie has only been using the computer for three years, he has become highly profi¬ cient on it. “The computer helps me with my homework. I can write letters, do math, and write reports and papers on it. My friends always want me to do things for them,” McKenzie ex¬ plained. Because he is such a whiz on the computer, others ask him for help with computer problems and for computer information. “Mrs. Mary Davis, my English teacher, has me do things on the com¬ puter,” explained McKenzie. “Also,” he continued, “I help out in the library if they have any questions, and I bring them litera¬ ture and information on how to use the computer.” COMPUTER WHIZ: Sean McKenzie uses the computer In the A. V. Center to help with a homework assignment. Numbers on brings experience I enjoyed shop. I got to work with my hands. It gave me a break from my other classes .... W hat was attached to the end of your arm, had five fingers, and was an indis- pensible tool? Your hand, of course. If you were a typing student, shop student, science student, or com¬ puter whiz, you could not do without it. You were gaining “Hands-On” experience in these courses. Opening the door to any of the typing rooms on Corridor Five, one saw hands busily at work. The sound of clicking keys filled the air as fingers flew over the keyboards and students concentrated on keep¬ ing their eyes glued to the exercise they were typing. “Do n’t watch your hands! Keep your eye on the book,” the teacher commanded. “Typing involves a lot of con¬ centration and is definitely not the easy elective I thought it would be,” said sophomore Kristin Obeck. On F Hall, in the biology labs, students gingerly handled scalpels and knives as they dissected a frog or worms. It was tedious work. One slip of the scalpel and the dissection was ruined. Therefore, students ap¬ proached labs with the utmost care. “I’ll never forget my first biology lab. I found that dissecting a frog wasn’t as bad as everyone said it would be, but the smell was horri¬ ble,” said junior Debbie Elmore. In shop classes, students care¬ fully shaped, refined, and polished their handmade creations. Using hand and power tools, beginning carpenters made lanterns, flower stands, clocks, lamps, speaker box¬ es, Christmas reindeer, and eve n guitars. “I enjoyed shop class because I got to work with my hands and it gave me a break from all of my other classes that just involved sitting down and writing,” said sophomore Willie Rhodes. In computer science, students learned the basics of computers and were eventually able to write their own programs. Punching the wrong key was a disaster, especially if it erased everything one had worked on for the last month. Program writ¬ ing was mind-boggling. “I learned how to pull out hair and write a program at the same time,” said Computer Math senior Kelly Debnam. m J-M. 1 m.

The teacher, clad in shorts, blew the whistle and the game began. Senior Pattie Worth volleyed the ball across the net and scored one point for her team. It was fifth period and bodies, were getting a workout in Ms. Cynthia Carr’s Physical Education class. “P.E. gives me a chance to unwind after all my other classes. I took it be¬ cause I needed it for graduation. It’s fun being the only senior in the class and marching to a different beat than others,” said Worth. Activities ranged from basketball, tennis, softball, and volleyball to arch¬ ery and shuffleboard. The physical ac¬ tivity was only one advantage to taking P.E. There were others. “I like to see the guys in shorts,” laughed freshman Theresa Dowler. Once again, this was not your ordi¬ nary classroom. Girls in aprons rushed around the kitchen, checking the tur¬ key in the oven, blending ingredients for the stuffing, making pies, and pre¬ paring vegetables. It was fourth period and Mrs. Pat Sperry’s Food and Nutri¬ tion students were preparing a Thanks¬ giving dinner for occupants of the Bat¬ tered Women’s Shelter. “I think the students will have a good feeling from this because they are doing something for the needy,” ex¬ plained Mrs. Sperry. Other Home Economics courses also involved unusual activity. Child Development classes were taught the essentials of raising and caring for chil¬ dren and Home Economics II involved consumer education, clothing, and re¬ lationships. “I have enjoyed taking Home Ec. classes, but Home Ec. II is definitely the best,” said senior Zontreal White- head.” Down F Hall, in a remote corner of the school, students entered yet an¬ other unusual classroom. Seemingly unorganized and cluttered, the class¬ room reflected the artistic talents of its students. “There are times when the class is regimented,” said Mrs. Cheryl Car¬ ter, art instructor. “But, when they are assigned a project, they do the work on their own. Sometimes, it’s chaos!” Among the media students worked with were pastels, oils, and charcoals. Samples of the students’ work were displayed in the teachers’ lounge for the faculty to enjoy. “Art is my first love,” said senior Bryan Burge. “It’s definitely marching to a different beat!” ALL CONCENTRATION!

In Economics, taught by Mrs. Mary Tarver, students gained exper¬ tise in budgeting, consumer awareness, and business. One project was to form a corporation. “Economics gave me experience learning to make choices and learning to economize,” explained senior Ma¬ deline Faisca. “It was really an inter¬ esting course.” Sociology students rushed into Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins’ classroom each day, anticipating another interesting, ALMOST FINISHED!

For journalism students, the hec¬ tic pace of producing the new spaper and yearbook meant meeting dead¬ lines, selling advertising, laying out pages, cropping pictures, and writing, writing, writing. Adviser Mrs. Joel Grimm cracked the whip and kept things moving in both Journalism I and Journalism II classes. “I never realized that journalism required so much time and work. How¬ ever, I’m sure, if I live through it, the experience will help me in the future,” said sophomore Joan Eaton. Other electives included Public Speaking, a course designed to increase poise and communication skills, and Personal Finance, a course designed to acquaint students with business and personal investments. “Public Speaking was a great course that I’m sure will always help me when communicating with others,” said junior Erika Allen. Students in Ms. Emma Flood’s Personal Finance Class worked with everything from the stock market to purchasing insurance. Projects includ¬ ed buying a house or car and running a small business. “I feel that what I’ve learned in Personal Finance will help me most when I’m out on my own,” said senior Holly Joplin. “I NEED MY SPACE!

W hat kind of class was it that began in August, met on Saturdays and at all football games, and took a Spring break in Canada? The answer was “Band,” of course! “Band is unique because we are one big family,” said junior Cyndi Ber¬ ry. “We stick together and we help each other out.” Being in the band meant making a commitment that went far beyond the demands of an ordinary class.

The Marching Band participated in the Poquoson Seafood Parade, Phoe¬ bus Day Parade, and the Hampton University Homecoming Parade, in ad¬ dition to school performances. Thirteen students made Regional Band in De¬ cember and four, John Darnell, Tony Deluzio, Thomas Smith, and Dain Wil¬ son, tried out for All-State Band in the spring. The Symphonic Band performed at numerous concerts and assemblies and participated in a Band Festival in March. The climax of the year for band members was the Spring trip to Can¬ ada. In order to finance the expedition, members sold magazines, fruit, and candy. “The fruit sale was by far the most successful,” said senior Carie Hill, band president. “Our travels will take us to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. We will also perform for the Canadian Parliament. It is worth all the hours spent raising money,” she explained. HE WENT THAT ' A WAY!

T he noisy room full of students suddenly became hushed as someone began to absent- mindedly pick out a tune on the piano. Someone else, hearing the music, began to sing the melody. One by one, students joined in. A day in chorus had begun. “Ms. Forrest makes classes fun. Chorus is a great break from a boring day of hard classes,” said junior Colin Nealy. Whether students were enrolled in A Cappella Choir, Mixed Chorus, the Choraliers, a ninth grade chorus, or the elite show choir. Harbor Lights, they shared a love of music and a willingness to commit to an extensive schedule of concerts, performances, and competi¬ tions. The chorus groups presented their first staged musical, “I Love Christ¬ mas,” in December. The show included a variety of songs and dances to pro¬ mote holiday spirit. The concert marked the first appearance of the ninth grade Choraliers and Mixed Chorus. “I thought the Christmas program was very creative,” said senior Tony Spunzo. “It was experimental and a tough job, but it was worth it,” he HARBOR UGHTS-FRONT ROW: Dana Clark, Dain Wilson, Antonio Williams, Stephanie In¬ gram.

In addition to performances, stu¬ dents auditioned for Regional Choir, Honors Choir, and All-Virginia Choir. Fourteen students made Regional Choir and two, seniors Christine Knight and Tony Williams, were named to Honors Choir. “I feel that every choral student was proud of her or his accomplish¬ ments,” said junior Stephanie Ingram. “That made chorus better than any¬ thing else,” she explained.

As the pianist began to play, the drummers picked up the beat and hands began to flutter, arms waved, and voices blended togeth¬ er in harmony. The Harbor Lights Show Choir was hard at work on a number it had practiced for five weeks. “Harbor Lights is a unique group because it gives us a chance to express ourselves through music and motion,” explained senior Chris Bennett. To become a member of the Show Choir, students were re¬ quired to audition the spring be¬ fore. Becoming a member meant maki ng a commitment to long hours of practice, numerous per¬ formances, and festival competi¬ tions. “To me, it’s a new and chal¬ lenging experience,” said junior Cathy Thomas. “It’s my first year in the choir and I love it,” she ex¬ claimed. A major accomplishment of the prestigious choir was receiving Superior Ratings at the North Carolina Show Choir Invitational, February 28. Harbor Lights was named the “Best Vocal Group” and placed third overall in the competition. “Harbor Lights is fun and a lot of hard work, but it is all worth it, knowing that we’re really win¬ ners,” said senior Shawn Wilson.

He had a close rela¬ tionship with the cadets in the unit. “Chief Spriggs made laugh¬ ter a part of everyday life,” said sophomore Kim Monroe. “I look forward to having oth¬ er military leaders like Chief Spriggs in the future,” said sopho¬ more Herman Rouse. Chief Spriggs joined the Navy shortly after the Japanese in¬ vaded Pearl Harbor in 1941. When he retired, he sought a teaching po¬ sition. “I wanted a career in training others. Watching students leave NJROTC and go into the military, influenced by our instruction, is the most rewarding part of my ca¬ reer,” said Chief Spriggs. “Chief Spriggs will be sorely missed and hard to replace,” said Lt.

But, overall, it’s been a normal year.’’ 64 D addy, Daddy, look at me! Look what the Navy’s done to me! Took my sneakers. Took my shoes. Gave me a pair of Navy Blues.” Those were not the lyrics to a pop¬ ular new song, but the beginning of the “Navy Blues,” a chant sung by the NJROTC Unit when it practiced drills in cadence. Smartly dressed in their Navy Blues, cadets presented colors at home football games, marched in numerous parades, and participated in drill meets in the area. The cadets took Second Place trophies for marching and Color Guard in the Poquoson Seafood Festi¬ val Parade in September and First Place for the best junior marching unit in the Gloucester Christmas Parade. In November, 33 cadets partici¬ pated in a Drill Meet at Hampton Uni¬ versity. The unit took Second Place in academics. “At the meet, they competed in marches, drills, and academics against 14 other state schools. Academic-wise, they made the year unique,” said Unit Commander Beale Kinsey. Other activities included cruises on the USS Conyngham and USS Trenton. Thirty-eight cadets attended Hampton University’s Founder Day ceremonies and toured the USS Gua¬ dalcanal. Rifle team matches, the an¬ nual raffle, and a fall picnic were other class activities. “The picnics gave me a chance to meet more people and to become ac¬ quainted with navy training,” said freshman Ranson Maven. The annual formal inspection of the unit was February 12. Several ca¬ dets collapsed, but the unit passed with flying colors. “The cadets’ interest in a military future is up, but, overall, it’s been a nor¬ mal year,” said Chief Arthur Spriggs.

You learn a lot of stuff in a foreign language. W alking down CD Hall the first week in March, one suffered acute hun¬ ger pangs as the aroma of exotic, foreign cooking wafted through the doorway of the Language Lab. For two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, foreign language students feasted on cakes, elaborate French pas¬ tries, tacos, sauerkraut, wurst, potato salad, and other delicacies. The reason for all of the cultural tasting was For¬ eign Language Week. “In our foreign language pro¬ gram, we emphasize efficiency in speaking, reading, and listening,” said Mrs. Carleen Yates, department chair¬ man. “But, we also feel that the culture of the people we study is very impor¬ tant, and that includes their food,” she explained. During Foreign Language Week, students were exposed to a Chinese Cooking demonstration, international music by guitarist Robin Welch, and numerous class speakers. “Foreign Language Week was pretty cool!” said freshman Shane McCook. “You learn a lot of stuff in a foreign language,” he added. Foreign language teachers planned a variety of cultural experi¬ ences to bring the language and people alive for their students. French stu¬ dents paraded through the halls at Christmas time singing carols in French. Latin students, clad in togas, video-taped productions with pre-his- toric monsters, and Mrs. Yates stu¬ dents presented television commercials in French. For some students, a foreign lan¬ guage was not “foreign.” “I enjoy taking a foreign language because, to me, it’s easier than En¬ glish,” said senior Monika Puelsch, who spoke French and German. “English is my second language,” said senior Arash Farahvashi. “I enjoy French because it is easier for me to un¬ derstand and Mrs. Yates makes the class interesting and fun. She uses many approaches to teaching.” Foreign Language HAKf- HERCULES CHICKEN?

The French are responsible.” “It’s a great likeness,” said Herr Horne, as he inspected the dummy hanging from the ceiling in Cl5. “Considering some of my stu¬ dents, it might make an excellent substitute,” he joked. The dummy was the creation of Mrs. Martha Graham’s French class that shared Cl5 with Herr Horne’s German classes. “The German class stuck a swastika on our French flag and we took that as an insult,” explained sophomore Robert Hendry. “When we constructed the dummy, we tried to make it look like him, even down to the white hair,” he explained. “Ah, the sweet nectar of revenge!” When Herr Horne placed the dummy on a stool behind the podi¬ um, as if it were teaching class, stu¬ dents in both classes laughed, appre¬ ciating the humor of the situation. Students in the halls experi¬ enced a rude shock when they no¬ ticed the dummy staring at them from its cramped position on the bot¬ tom of Mrs. Graham’s cart. Mrs. Graham was a roving teacher and the dummy traveled with her from class to class. A NEW GERMAN TEACHER?

Actors and actresses of Christopher Newport’s Drama Depart¬ ment present The Imaginary Invalid. Over one hundred English students attend ed a performance in November. Jl nglish is alive, creative The paper presented a challenge because I was supporting my point of view, not the teacher’s. P laying the roles of Ismene and Antigone, seniors Shelly Grif¬ fin and Christy Hill tossed ar¬ guments back and forth across the stage in DIO, their fifth period En¬ glish class. The scene from “Antigone” was be¬ ing recreated for the other students who were desperately trying to understand Sophocles. It was not unusual, in this class, for role-playing to be the key to un¬ derstanding. English, speech, and drama teacher Mrs. Alberta Boyd believed in creativity. “I do not know if I make learning fun-only my students could relate that as a successful endeavor on my part. But, I do try,” said Mrs. Boyd. In another classroom, C8, Mr. Gar¬ land Wesson challenged his students’ re¬ search on contemporary issues. “Can you support that? Do you have the facts to back up your statements?” he challenged. “The paper presented a challenge because I was supporting my own point of view, not the teacher’s,” said senior Arash Farahvashi. Developing a nervous tic, not sleep¬ ing at night, and sweating a lot were com¬ mon symptoms of “the research paper syndrome.” Students who struggled with the famous research paper assigned by Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, or the composi¬ tions and projects assigned by Mrs. So¬ phia Romano, suffered. “It required a lot of deep thinking, creativity, and, most of all, time,” said se¬ nior Laura Renn. “I got started on the research paper for Mrs. Dawkins’ English class right away. I think I checked out every book in the city and worked two hours a night. I hope it will pay off,” said senior Elaine Therianos. In Mrs. Polly Butler’s sophomore English classes, students attempted to re¬ late themes of literature to contemporary events. “What could happen to ordinary people that would be a tragedy and would test their ability to cope,” asked Mrs. Butler. “Death is the worst possible thing that could happen,” said sophomore Con¬ rad Austin. English, after all, was just about as challenging or interesting as the teacher made it. Students could not live on read¬ ing and writing alone. The teacher made English come alive through role-playing, interpretation, and research. “My English class was my best class,” said senior Pattie Worth. “I loved it!” Research Role-play BROADWAY.

Everybody took English, and ev¬ erybody was exposed to “reading ‘n ' ‘riting.” For sophomores and fresh¬ men, English was not only a “reading ‘n’ ‘riting” experience, but, ultimate¬ ly, a personal one as well. “Know Thyself’ was the theme and writing autobiographies occupied many an hour. “I learned things about my fam¬ ily I didn’t know before. For in¬ stance, how each person relates to me and how close they are,” said sopho¬ more Shannon Holloway. For many seniors, English be¬ gan in the summer when they tackled reading lists handed out by instruc¬ tors Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins and Mr. Gar¬ land Wesson. While other students frol¬ icked on the beach, seniors spent long hours under “reading” lamps trying to finish their assigned novels. In class after class, Friday was “reading ‘n’ ‘riting” day as students chalked up another chapter in a book or summed up the week’s experiences in their journals. “English wasn’t too bad,” said ju¬ nior Stephanie Nock. “I got writer’s cramps sometimes and eye strain, but, overall, it was generally fun. The teacher was what made it interesting and excit¬ ing. 1 learned a lot about myself, other people, and the world,” she added. TRYING TO UNDERSTAND!

L ike serfs of old, some stu¬ dents were members of a “working class.” They did not, of course, toil in the fields, but combined classroom train¬ ing with on-the-job experience. “Marketing students and Fashion Merchandising students learn job skills, know more of what to expect on a job, and often get job promotions more quickly,” explained Co-ordinator Mrs. Pam Szynal. “Fve been in D.E. since the end of my sophomore year. Because of this class, I have advanced from a sales per¬ son to manager of Lazy Shirts in just two years,” said senior Salina Fisher. Marketing students entered Dis¬ trict Competition in February at Coli¬ seum Mall stores and 15 students won certificates or trophies. Another working class was ICT, Industrial Cooperative Training. The course prepared students for trade, in¬ dustrial, technical, and health occupa¬ tions. “I presently hold a job at Farm Fresh where I recently received a pro¬ motion,” said junior Leland Stonewall. “My chances of getting that promotion would not have been as great if I had not been taking this course,” he ex¬ plained. Training secretaries and providing practical training for a variety of office tasks was the core of the Cooperative Office Education Program (C.O.E.). Students in C.O.E. earned beginning rates of pay for working 15 hours per week. “The skills that I have learned have trained me so well. My abilities and capabilities in the office have grown by leaps and bounds,” said se¬ nior Meredith Wilkins. “My secretari¬ al skills enable me to do well on my job at the school administration building,” she added. The working classes, providing practical training and on-the-job expe¬ riences, gave students a taste of the “real world.” LtSTEN UP GiRLS!

Educational games and heated dis¬ cussions turn regular history classes into a fun experience,” said junior Reggie High. Upperclassmen were required to take U.S. History and U.S. Govern¬ ment, while underclassmen took either World Cultures or Geography. Social Studies instructors used a variety of ways to make the classes unique and interesting for the students. One fascinating encounter was meeting USAT, USA Today’s robot who was promoting the USA Today essay con¬ test. “USAT was used in a very enter¬ taining way to make students more aware of the essay contest and our Con¬ stitution,” said junior Kristy Alligood. Projects were an on-going assign¬ ment in most social studies classes. Special projects on the Bicentennial Celebration of the Constitution were presented in Mrs. Sara Alligood’s A.P. History class. “It made me look at what the Con¬ stitution symbolizes. It was a good proj¬ ect,” said junior Karen Watts. Government students took field trips, attended City Council meetings, worked at the polls on Election Day, at¬ tended sessions of the General Assem¬ bly in Richmond, and watched the MacNeil Lehrer report every night on television, or almost every night. “I found the General Assembly most interesting.

Students formed study groups and sometimes paid for a private tutor. “I usually understand what’s go¬ ing on, but it always helps to be able to call someone if I don’t,” said senior Mike Brown. “I have a lot of problems with math and I feel guilty asking my friends for help all the time. It’s a lot easier to get a tutor, since they’re being paid for their time and I don’t mind having them explain something over and over again,” said junior Shannon Burcham. Teachers were also encouraged to give help both before and after school to students. “I like to come in before school and get help from my teacher more than I do from someone else,” said sophomore Christy Vaisvil. “The teacher knows what’s going on.” FIRST, TAKE THE SQUARE ROOT...: Mrs. Patri¬ cia Denton gives Lisa VanPelt a few poin¬ ters on solving math problems in the library after school.

For each individual, the route to graduation was a personal one. “I can’t believe Fm a senior al¬ ready. I look forward to graduation, but Til miss all the friends I’ve made here,” said senior Josie Pendleton. Coaches and sponsors provided leadership for students as they di¬ rected activities. Exchange students would also long remember their People halls and sat in the classrooms gave the school its unique personality. The sum total of “The Hit Parade” was what made Kecoughtan differ¬ ent. “I’ve learned so many different things and met so many different people. I think high school really has produced some of the best years of my life,” said junior Kevin Nichol¬ son. Interests were varied. From sophomore Ethan Lee, a sailing en- year, for they too were part of “The Hit Parade.” “Being an exchange student is incredible. I have learned a lot of customs and the greatest one is friendship,” said senior Yuko Inoue. Mixed all together, combined, “The Hit Parade” was a force to be reckoned with. “When you realize all that is done, being a Warrior is special,” said junior Kristy Alligood. People Divider RAH! RAH!

Gillikin often sur¬ veyed his domain from this van¬ tage point. “We are now experiencing an era of stability,” Mr. Gillikin ex¬ plained. “By that, I mean we have no major changes or upheavals like last year when the freshmen came. I see this year as one of ‘fine tuning,’” he said. For Mr. Gillikin and the other top administrators. Assistant Principals Mr. Harold Johns, Mr. James Hathaway, and Mr. Larry Waddell, the job was sim¬ ple; “to make every project, ac¬ tivity, and person as perfect as possible.” “Basically, we’ve already got a good faculty and a good stu¬ dent body,” said Mr. Gillikin. “All they need to do is live up to their potential and be made even better.” Mr. Gillikin stressed a need to reduce the failure rate and in¬ crease SAT scores. To reach those objectives, teachers partic¬ ipated in sessions designed to im¬ prove instructional methods. H.I.I.M., Hampton Instruc¬ tional Improvement Model, the plan devised by the Hampton School system, involved teacher awareness, skills training for teachers and administrators. and application and feedback from students. The establishment of Study Express, a pet project of Mr. Ha¬ thaway’s, was a step towards re¬ ducing the failure rate. “I see Study Express as ‘parental’ in concept,” said Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins, a member of the committee appointed to es¬ tablish the program. “We want to help students with projects, reports, study habits and other skills, such as memorizing, that will help them to become better students,” she said. Mr. Gillikin was also in favor of the ban on student smoking passed by the school system pri¬ or to the opening of school. “I think that a 13-year-old student just entering Kecough- tan would be easily influenced by the sight of other students smoking,” he said. “The loss of the privilege to smoke at school will not keep all kids from smok¬ ing, but I feel it may keep some from starting,” Mr. Gillikin ex¬ plained. Mr. Gillikin hoped to get SCA President Kim Chiaramida and the SCA united in an anti-smok¬ ing campaign directed towards students. “I am immensely proud of all the activities at Kecoughtan,” said Mr. Gillikin. “When you re¬ flect on a year and see how much we have accomplished, I know it’s all worthwhile. I just can’t get that kind of feeling any other way.” f Faculty i ors Vivicin lunch gry students. some college app icaUon on aspiring senior MS.

Who fixed the food, kept the building clean, answered the phone, sent transcripts, kept up with the pa¬ per work, and made the whole operation run smoothly? Not your Fairy Godmother with a magic wand, but a staff of secre¬ taries, custodians, cafeteria workers, librarians, and others. For example, 13 cafeteria workers reported in at 7:30 a.m. each day to begin preparing the 900 meals served daily, or to bake the 700 rolls or buns pre¬ pared each week. They chopped up lettuce and garnishes for 125 salads a day and stacked over 200 hamburgers and 200 slices of pizza for hungry students to devour. “The worst part of the job is the cleanup,” said Manager Dana Mullins. “But, I like the people and the kids, especially the polite ones.” For secretaries in the main of¬ fice and guidance office, the job was never boring. At least 200 phone calls were answered each day, thousands of work sheets. tests, and lessons run off on the copier, and 50 letters or other types of correspondence accom¬ plished each day. “I really try to be helpful and let people know we care,” said Mrs. Peggy Byrd, receptionist. “I never have the time; that’s the problem.” “I enjoy working with stu¬ dents,” said Mrs. Esther Penrod, guidance secretary who worked 12 months. “My main job is or¬ ganizing transcripts, scheduling appointments, and taking calls.” Librarians, Ms. Nancy Spain and Mrs. Sadie Eleazer, spent their days checking in and checking out books, equipment, tapes, films, and other items needed by teachers and students. In the AV Center, Mrs. Eleaz¬ er kept track of 1,100 to 1,500 items of equipment each month. Nearly 825 records, 49 video tapes, and 2,726 filmstrips, not to mention slides, were checked out monthly. Keeping everyone happy and equipped was a major part of her job. “I love what I do which makes it easy. It’s demanding, but that’s all part of the job,” said Mrs. Eleazer, who also did off air video taping and video tape dubbing for teachers. For Ms. Spain, checking out was easy, but checking in was of¬ ten a problem. With over 23,077 books in circulation each year, Ms. Spain found getting overdue books in was her biggest chal¬ lenge. “I find my job challenging be¬ cause I work with such a variety of students and materials. Right now, we are extremely busy in¬ stalling a computer system that I hope will help us keep track of all the books,” said Ms. Spain. It took many to keep things running smoothly. Custodians swept the halls almost hourly, cleaned up after both lunches, emptied trash, repaired equip¬ ment, and patrolled the grounds for debris. In the bookstore, Mrs. Theresa Adams dispensed thou¬ sands of Certs, collected fees, wrote checks, and balanced the books. She could even cash a $5 bill. And there were others, the caring nurse, library clerks, deans, and guidance counselors. Fairy godmothers, indeed! Who is that? Sfipei teaehei Stronger than a racing fresh¬ man who is late to class; able to leap over mounds of papers in a single bound; writes notes on a chalkboard faster than a speed¬ ing bullet-look outl-it’s supertea¬ cher! Was it possible to have the “perfect teacher”? Probably not, but if the best qualities of several teachers were combined, the result would be a supertea¬ cher. Over 100 students were sur¬ veyed and asked to name the teacher they felt was outstand¬ ing in the categories listed. Choices included such items as “most intelligent,” “best look¬ ing,” “hardest working,” “most willing to help,” “most like your best friend,” “most athletic,” and “hardest class.” The results indicated that superteacher would be an interesting combi¬ nation. For example, superteacher would have to have the intelli¬ gence of Mrs. Sophia Romano, who also won the most votes for “hardest class.” Superteacher would be attractive, as well as in¬ telligent, like Ms. Donna Ste¬ phens. Superteacher would be styl¬ ish, like Ms. Sharyn Brown, or a specimen of physical fitness like Mr. Frank Vlk. Supertea¬ cher, said the students, would have a good personality and be more like your best friend than a teacher, like Mr. John Karatsi- kis. While the perfect teacher probably did not exist, students answering the survey felt that many of their teachers came close to being a superteacher. Faculty 83 floo lofOtril ' ® foo up add r ■ ' Wo Vc d onsor Aid students If one looked in Roget’s Col¬ lege Thesaurus at the word “sponsor,” it read, “Sponsor: pa¬ tron, backer, adviser, see securi¬ ty.” For those 40 teachers who sponsored school clubs and orga¬ nizations, it should have includ¬ ed, “giver of time.” “There’s never enough time to do all we have to do,” said Mrs. Joel Grimm, adviser to two pub¬ lications and sponsor of Quill and Scroll. “We work Satur¬ days, after school, and during vacations to meet deadlines. But, the kids are great! They give a lot of time, too,” she added. Like Mrs. Grimm, some teachers sponsored more than one group. Mr. William Cawley sponsored the SCA, Tidewater Challenge Team, and Presiden¬ tial Classroom. Ms. Emma Elood sponsored the Senior Class and the Debate Team, and Mrs. Cheryl Carter sponsored the Art League and Keyettes. Mr. John Karatsikis sponsored the Key Club and the Model U.N. Team and Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins sponsored the Sociolo¬ gy Club and co-advised the year¬ book. “I feel that being a sponsor is part of being a teacher,” said Mr. Cawley. “I don’t see one as totally separate from the other. When I became a teacher, I also became a sponsor,” he explain¬ ed. Why give up so much time and energy and take on even more responsibility for students’ welfare? For some, it was an out¬ growth of the curriculum, but for others it was simply a desire to work with students in a differ¬ ent environment. “I feel being a sponsor is being a role model for students at all times. I want to give them the time and direction they need to be a part of a club,” said Mr. Karatsikis. In addition to their teaching schedules, sponsors scheduled meetings, co-ordinated fund raisers, supervised activities, took students to workshops and competitions, and even helped build Homecoming floats. “I helped organize the Tidew¬ ater Challenge program in the region,” explained Mr. Cawley. “I thought it was an activity that was needed and the students seem to enjoy it.” “For me, working with the kids on a publication and taking pride in what we do is the best part of my job. I love being an adviser,” said Mrs. Grimm. 84 Faculty hang Christmas al Broome o e. Cro Shop. ° ' ° l°hs in the ans ' V® ' rav i V- r ' MR. BERNARD PLATT : Foreign Language MRS.

Ha! Ha! I m bluisliiiigS You’re walking down a crowded hall when the girl of your dreams smiles at you. You smile at her and continue walk¬ ing down the hall. Suddenly, you step on a banana peel and fall flat on your face. Everybody laughs at you, including the girl that means the world to you. That’s embarrassment! Like everything else, sooner or later something terrible is going to happen at school in front of witnesses. Just enough people will remember to bring it up over and over again. “The most embarrassing situ¬ ation I’ve been in is having to get my friends out to push my car because the stupid thing wouldn’t go into reverse. Since it was after school, everybody saw,” laughed junior Ashley James. Still worse, some unknowing students were subject to their most embarrassing moments in club initiations. “The Keyettes initiation was the worst. Maria Reduto dragged me out of bed on a day off from school and made me go to Hardee’s without brushing my hair or changing out of my pajamas. Then, the old Keyettes walked us around the school so that all of the teachers could laugh at us,” remembered junior Colleen Harms. Worse yet, some of those aw¬ ful moments happened in front of a whole class of witnesses. “My most embarrassing mo¬ ment was in English. Mrs. Fer¬ guson forced me to dress up in a costume to present an oral book report to the class,” said sophomore Gary Tiedmann. The worst part of doing some¬ thing wrong in a classroom was that there were 30 or so people who saw the mistake. “I guess the worst thing that happened to me is when I walked into my 5th period class during 4th period and the whole class laughed,” sighed sophomore Jennifer Raab. “My most embarrassing mo¬ ment happens every time I open my mouth in class and get the answer to the question wrong. I feel like the whole class is lau¬ ghing at me,” explained junior Malica Ton. One thing to remember was that everyone had an embarras¬ sing moment hidden deep in the past that he she wanted to for¬ get. “My sister Erika had the most embarrassing moment on her first day here. She walked into the boy’s bathroom by mistake and had to be chased out by a janitor,” said senior Lisa Vega. “It gave me something to tease her about.” you BTHERy mo ‘°:nZmeyZfosolvooprcOlem fn meir algebfo Class.

Worst of all, “it” turned many sure-shot daredevils into slobbering fools. One might say that the whole world turned up¬ side down because of “it” -Love! The symptoms were easily recognizable. Knocking knees, butterflies, sweaty palms and armpits, and the loss of the abili¬ ty to speak were common afflictions of those struck by love. For some, the first date was a moment of anxiety. “My first date was a blind date,” said junior Cheryl Sose- bee. “I got so nervous just think¬ ing about how ugly he might be.” To date or not to date, to fall in love or not to fall in love were big decisions. “I’ll tell you one thing,” said sophomore Mike Annis, “Any guy who believes a girl when she says she just wants to be friends is a fool!” “I’m not the kind of guy who jumps from girl to girl,” explain¬ ed freshman Robert Bergeron. “One girl is plenty enough for me!” For girls, one dilemma was who gets to do the asking? “If you wait for guys to ask you out, you’ll be waiting for a very, very long time,” said junior Norma Pugh. Not everyone agreed. “Girls of the ’80’s are getting too bold,” said sophomore Eric Jordan. “They are forgetting tradition!” B Hall and the Annex were like the tunnel of love. Oblivious to those around them, lovers walked arm-in-arm or stood locked in a googley-eyed em¬ brace and bade farewell with a tender exchange of affection. “My boyfriend is always there and I mean always!” said junior Wendy Hartley. After all (now, who said that?), didn’t “love make the world go-round and turn it up¬ side down”?

Blood gore Horror buffs The knife blade glistens in the faint light as the villain sneaks up on his victim. He lurches for¬ ward and plunges the blade deep into the soft flesh. The victim screams, a blood-curdling shriek that brings you to the edge of your seat. The villain pulls out the knife and blood drips from the blade. There is gore every¬ where and you love it! “I’ve seen all of the ‘Friday the 13ths,’’’said junior Lori Hil¬ bert. “Jason Varhees is great. He keeps thinking up new ways to slice and dice his victims. I love Jason!” exclaimed Hilbert. According to a random sur¬ vey, the vast majority of students were “horror movie buffs,” watching as many as four movies a month, or one a week. “My favorite kind of movie to watch is a horror movie. You can really get into them. You don’t just sit there and watch,” ex¬ plained junior Michele Wood- mansee. “Nightmare on Elm Street,” Parts I and II ranked as a popu¬ lar movie with students, as did “The Fly,” a remake of a 1958 film. “I saw the original ‘Fly’ and its modern day version. The new one was much better because it was so much grosser,” said ju¬ nior Jason Ellington. For “horror movie buffs,” the more blood and gore, the more scares and thrills, the better they liked it. The more horrible the monster, the better the film. “Give me a good horror movie anytime,” said junior Denise Wilkins. “The more blood and gore, the better I like it.” Gregory Byrd 11 Jennifer Byrd 10 Matthew Byrd 10 Timothy Byrd 11 Amy Cail 10 Christine Caldwell 10 Brett Campbell 9 Christine Campbell 11 Deborah Campbell 10 Steven Campbell 11 Teresa Campbell 10 Thomas Campbell 10 By-Ca Underclassmen m .c Havnes and J eeded: Best Friends Help wanted! “I’m going to a friend’s house tonight.’’ “My friend and I are going out!’’ “I can’t wait until the week¬ end. My best friend is coming to visit!’’ Sound familiar? For teen¬ agers, being a friend and having a friend were essential to leading the good life. Everyone wanted a friend to share the good and bad times with, but the defini¬ tion of “best friend’’ often dif¬ fered. “A best friend is someone you can trust and rely on,” said soph¬ omore Pascal Lewis. “A best friend must have a lot in common with me, so we can do stupid stunts,” said sopho¬ more Andy Geith. “Many of my friends are eccentric,” he added. Others felt best friends had to be able to keep a secret and be a non-worrier. “My best friends are those that can take the heat for me when I get into trouble,” said ju¬ nior Ralph Butler. “A friend is someone you can trust and you can talk to about anything in your life,” said ju¬ nior Jennifer Draper. Compassion, sympathy, and reliability were traits students looked for in a best friend. “A best friend is someone who can understand without all the explanations,” said junior Jenni¬ fer Kersis. “He will always be there when you need him,” said freshman Danny Holloway. Some students looked for spe¬ cial qualities in a friend; qualities that made that person stand out in a crowd. “Most of my friends are my friends because they have un¬ usual qualities that make them stand out from everyone else,” said junior Todd Trimpert. The consensus was that friends were people who shared your likes, dislikes, and dreams. “Everybody is taking a differ¬ ent course on the journey through life and friends are peo¬ ple who are ‘going your way,”’ said junior Jason Reed.

What was something to cuddle up in, pull down over your knees, hide a tummy bulge, and brave the cold in? The classic sweater, updated for the ’80’s, was the mainstay of everyone’s ward¬ robe. “I love the big oversized sweaters in lots of different co¬ lors,” exclaimed junior Ashley James. The rows and rows of bulky sweaters in brilliant colors and graphic designs that filled such stores as the Limited and Brooks in Coliseum Mall bore testimony to the fact that the sweater was the number one fashion item. “Sweaters don’t just keep you warm. They can really dress up an outfit,” said sophomore Joan Eaton. Some sweaters were so long they came to the knees and look¬ ed great with another “hot” item, stirrup pants. Even guys loved the fashionable sweater- look. “Sweaters aren’t just fashion¬ able for girls, but for guys as well. For my birthday, I got a re¬ ally stylish black and turquoise sweater,” said junior Lewis Watson. There were dressy sweaters, flowered sweaters, turtle-neck sweaters, long, loose cardigans, classic crew necks, and that old favorite, the letter sweater. Ev¬ erywhere you looked, someone was wearing a sweater. “I love the new fashions and the big sweaters. They go with just about anything, skirts, jeans, dress pants. No matter what, they always look great,” said junior Sharon Martin.

Junior Reggie High was one of many who shared the experi¬ ence. High, an offensive lineman on the football team, tore a liga¬ ment and suffered cartilage damage in his leg during prac¬ tice. He was forced to use crutches and sit on the sidelines for one month. High faced sever¬ al problems with his temporary handicap. “I didn’t do as well as I could with my grades, and the constant moving around in school after surgery was rough. My armpits were also raw,” said High. “I think I explained what hap¬ pened a thousand times. I had to listen to some dumb jokes, too!” said High. Like High, sophomore Jason Ebron injured his leg playing football. “Getting around in the crowd¬ ed hallways, climbing stairs and taking showers proved to be a problem for me,” said Ebron, who was on crutches for six weeks. Although Ebron could get out of class early, being on crutches slowed him up and was something for him to get used to. “I hated waking up, having to face another awkward day. Be¬ ing on crutches just totally handicapped me,” explained Ebron. Football, again, resulted in an injury, this time to senior Chuck Allred. Playing split end on the team, Allred tore two ligaments in his right knee at practice and had to endure crutches for 14 weeks. “I had to adapt to the crowded hallways. Even though I got out five minutes early, I still got caught up every once in a while. And going through doors was difficult. They are pretty heavy when you are on crutches,” said Allred. “My friends were very com¬ forting. They wanted to carry my books for me and help me anyway that they could. It’s re¬ ally great to have friends like that,” said Allred. Participating in Harbor Lights proved difficult for All- red when he realized that he could not dance on crutches. “A good day for me was to go to school and come out of school without falling flat on my face,” said Allred. “You can’t do anything on crutches. People say, ‘Hey, that’s great! Now you will get all the girls!’ That’s not true either; I got those without the crutches,” grinned Allred.

What would they say if they saw you gossipping in the halls, argu¬ ing with a teacher, or cutting in line in the cafeteria? For underclassmen who had a parent who was a teacher, this happened often but was rarely a problem. “It’s not like she’s my moth¬ er,’’ explained Shawn Tarver, whose mother, Mrs. Mary Tarv¬ er, taught history and econom¬ ics. “She’s just normal. It doesn’t matter that she teaches here. It really isn’t different than when I went to another school,” said Tarver. As long as parents and stu¬ dents had different rooms and classes, few problems resulted. Sometimes it was difficult for the students to imagine what kind of a teacher their parents were. “It’s sort of strange when I hear them talk about what my mom’s tests are like or what she’s like in school,” said junior Kristy Alligood, whose mother, Mrs. Sara Alligood, was head of the Social Studies Depart¬ ment. “I really can’t relate to her in that way. I only think of her the way she is at home,” said Alli¬ good. Sophomore Allen Denton had “double trouble” since both of his parents, Mr. Buddy Denton, Health and PE Department Head, and Mrs. Patricia Den¬ ton, head of the Math Depart¬ ment, were at school. Others whose parents were teachers or staff members were sophomores Matt Byrd and Milan Brown, juniors Shannon Conrad and Valencia Ervin, and freshmen Geoff Shoemaker and Dawn Conrad. “They’ve always got close tabs and the scoop on you, so you’ve got to keep straight,” laughed Shannon Conrad. “It’s sorta good though, if you need to borrow lunch money or some¬ thing!” Christopher Guffey 9 Andrew Gurkin 10 William Gustafson 9 David Guthrie 9 Glenn Guthrie 9 Frank Guyton 10 Terrence Gyant 10 Roderick Gyorke 9 Antwanette Hailey 10 Lanetta Hailstock 10 Karen Hall 9 Jeanneen Haller 9 Gu-Ha Underclassmen Amanda Hainan 11 Margaret Hamilton 9 Anthony Hammonds 9 Esther Han 11 Tamara Hanby 10 Jon Hanchey 9 Delton Hardy 10 Geoffrey Hardy 11 James Hardy 11 Colleen Harms 11 Toya Harold 11 Sean Harrington 9 Frances Harris 11 James Harris 10 Joseph Harris 11 Matthew Harris 9 Michelle Harris 9 Thomas Harris 9 Carole Harrison 9 Brant Harrold 9 Heath Harrold 11 Michelle Harry 11 Wendy Hartley 11 Djuna Hartman 10 Michelle Hartman 11 Eugene Hatfield 11 Michael Hatt 10 Alex Haughton 10 Roger Havens 10 Shannon Hawkins 9 Kalandra Hayes 9 Wesley Hayes 9 Venus Haynes 11 Vernita Haynes 10 Kathleen Haywood 10 David Heath 9 Edwin Heath III 9 Brittney Heldreth 9 Carla Henderson 11 Lisa Hendry 9 Robert Hendry 10 Darryl Hicks 10 Kristin Hicks 10 Lisa Hicks 10 Reggie High 11 Kim Highsmith 11 Lori Hilbert 11 Randall Hill 10 Underclassmen Ha-Hi Students make a living Why bother? With a smile, she deftly scoops the berry-flavored sher- bert and sets it on top of the crisp sugar cone. For junior Frances Bennett, her job at Bresler’s 33 Flavors is not just a way to earn extra cash. It is a chance to broaden her horizons, meet new people, and learn to manage her money. “I’ve learned a lot at my job,” explained Bennett. “It teaches you about the real world.” Junior Donna Lankford, also an employee of Bresler’s, agreed. “I like the experience Bres¬ ler’s gives me, and I like the money I earn, too!” said Lank¬ ford. Many underclassmen sacri¬ ficed afternoons and weekends to take jobs at fast-food restau¬ rants, malls, movie theaters, and video clubs. Reasons for seeking employ¬ ment were varied. Some stu¬ dents took jobs to earn money for expensive items such as trips or class rings. “One of the big reasons I took my job at Chick-Fil-A was to fi¬ nance the Living End ski trip,” said junior Rachael Viale. For underclassmen who worked, rewards included the money earned and a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was a step towards growing up.

When I was your age, I rode my bike to school!” “We can’t afford another car! Why, I never owned a car until after I was married!” typical parents’ reactions to the typical teenage question, “Will you buy me a car so I can drive to school?” For the lucky elite whose wheedling finally paid off, getting to school was easy. In ad¬ dition, a car woner usually had lots of friends more than eager to catch a ride. “I always have to beg rides to school because walking is aw¬ ful,” said sophomore Jennifer Walker. Not everyone’s car was new like senior Jack Hanna’s. Some were old and more than a little bit beat up. A tour of the student parking lot revealed that most students drove the economical Volkswagen Bug. “I love my bug! It has real character and a mind of its own,” said junior Heather Fuller. For those who did not have wheels, transportation included the Pentran bus, a ride with mom, walking, or bicycling. One unique mode of transportation was a unicycle owned by sopho¬ more Thomas Butts. “I ride my unicycle to school because it’s unique and it’s faster than walking,” said Butts. Riding the bus meant keeping a tight schedule, hunting for bus tickets, and dashing out after school without a minute to spare. “After my parents took my car away, I had to ride the bus. What a switch! Instead of me leaving when I wanted to, I had to work around the bus,” said ju¬ nior Jay Gorski. For the walkers, that old cli¬ che about walking two miles up¬ hill in rain, sleet, and snow stuck home. “During the hot weather, I got sweaty and tired, and during the cold weather, I froze,” said freshman Chris Ken¬ nedy. “Every so often I had to walk home, and it was awful because everyone else drove by me in a car,” said sophomore Leigh Harrison. Those without “wheels” en¬ vied others and continued to dream of that great day when they would finally own a car.

A “Have a Great Day” banner hangs on the wall, and a clown with seven multi-colored balloons enters the building. Has the circus come to school? No, it’s just somebody’s birthday. “Birthdays are special no matter where you are,’’ said sophomore Matt Byrd. For those students, lucky enough to have a birthday dur¬ ing the school year and thought¬ ful friends, a birthday at school was exciting. “I was very surprised and hap¬ py when I found my locker deco¬ rated with paper, ribbons, bows, and my friends’ signatures,’’ said junior Kaylin Dawson. For some “birthees,’’ the ex¬ perience was embarrassing. “I was embarrassed when I got the balloons because every¬ one in the halls tried to pop them,’’ said junior Stephanie Nock. Squeezing through the halls at school with an armful of bal¬ loons was almost impossible. But, the biggest problem was what to do with them the rest of the day. Some, like junior Amy Wheeler, took them into every class and tied them to the back of a chair. Others shoved them in their lockers or left them in the main office. The best surprise of all for a few fortunate students was being called down to the office and, upon arrival, discovering that someone special had sent a doz¬ en roses. “It makes you feel great and cared for,” said junior Debbie Elmore. While some teachers frowned on birthday celebrations in class, others were more lenient. “We celebrated a friend’s birthday in class,” said junior Heather Mingee. “It was O.K. We got to eat!” Pity the poor souls who had birthdays during the summer months. They would never know the joy of a birthday at school.

Among other things, their highly decorated, creative, colorful lockers were unique. Ev¬ eryone taped the latest pictures of the hottest stars in their lock¬ ers, but underclassmen went so far as to line the shelves with contact paper. “I have the ‘all-around’ lock¬ er,” said sophomore Mike Annis. ‘‘I have the latest in surf¬ ing gear, skateboarders, and the Garbage Pail kids!” One of the more pleasant trips down C-Hall was past junior Butch Tolley’s locker. “I’m a fragrant kind of guy. I know I must have 12 bottles of cologne in my locker , from Polo to Chaps,” he explained. “It’s better than any rock star I’ve seen in anyone else’s locker.” Typical decorations found in underclassmen lockers were the hottest stars and sexiest poses. “I’m in love with every guy in my locker, from David Lee Roth to Tom Howell,” said freshman Melanie Pearson. “Man, I have this picture of a girl in my locker! She’s really hot!” said sophomore Travis Ward. “But, by next year. I’ll probably be really tired of that sort of stuff (I doubt it!),” he said. “Duran Duran and Tom Cruise are in my locker, but not because of their music or movies,” said freshman Sheila Barnhart. Other items in underclassmen lockers included radio station stickers, birthday wrapping pa¬ per, pictures of boy friends or girl friends, colorful tags, and sexy ads. Lockers had a person¬ ality.

Was it your first pair of panty hose or first sip of beer that made you feel grown up? Or, did it take more than that? “It really contributed to my feelings about being a man when I finally got the peach fuzz on my chin to grow into a real beard,” said junior Art Brighton. In some societies, formal ri¬ tuals signified manhood or womanhood, but it was not that clear cut an issue for most teenagers. “I just knew I was hot stuff when I wore make-up for the first time,” said sophomore Lisa Bostic. “Now that I look back on it, I know I must have looked like a clown!” “My first date did it,” said sophomore Chris Morrow. “That date really broke the ice for me, and now I go out all of the time,” he explained. Having a relationship with someone special and learning how to handle it were signs of growing up for some stu¬ dents. “As far as relationships go,” said junior Lorraine Redcross, “I think you are really a man or woman when you can break up with someone and still be good friends.” There were other outward and inward signs of growing up. “The ultimate would have to be when you are 16 and you get your license,” explained sophomore Sheridan White. “You know what growing up really is,” said freshman Emily Keith, “when you can control your anger and act civ¬ ilized when you’re talking to your parents. When I can fi¬ nally do that, then I will know that I am really and finally a woman!” 5- James McRae 10 Shane McRoy 11 Christopher McVay 9 Diane Mead 9 Elise Melberg 10 Stephanie Melton 9 Suzanne Melton 10 Litonia Melvin 9 Danny Menendez 10 Arthur Mertz 10 Billy Mewborn 11 Holly Meyer 10 Mc-Me Underclassmen Carlos Miles 9 Robert Mickens 10 Dennis Miller 10 Jeffrey Miller 9 Karen Miller 9 Kimberly Miller 9 Larry Miller 10 Marilynn Miller 10 Dayton Mills 10 Jeffrey Mills 10 Hugh Milteer 11 Herman Minga III 11 Heather Mingee 11 Debra Mishoe 9 Kenneth Mishoe 9 Angela Mitchell 10 Carl Mitchell 11 Chrischa Mitchell 10 Eugenia Mitchell 11 George Mitchell 11 Robert Mitchell 10 Derrick Mizzel 9 Michael Mizzel 11 Lawrence Molnar 10 Harry Monk 9 Kimberly Monroe 10 Shona Monteiro 9 Reginald Moody 9 Benjamin Moore 11 Christopher Moore 9 Herbert Moore 11 Jennifer Moore 9 Lavenia Moore 9 Mark Moore 10 Nicco Moore 11 Pamela Moore 11 Peter Moore 10 Robin Moore 9 Tracy Moore 10 Tunel Moore 9 Cheryl Moreland 11 Kara Morey 11 Christina Morgan 10 James Morgan 9 Michael Morgan 10 Sharon Morgan 10 Marcie Morneault 9 Christopher Morrow 10 Claudia Moton 11 Kimberly Mounger 9 Timothy Mounger 11 Kathryn Mueller 9 Troy Murphy 9 Jakeeva Murray 11 LaTondra Murray 11 John Myers 11 Dawn Nathaniel 9 Renetta Nathaniel 11 Derek Neal 10 Stacie Neal 11 Vincent Nealy 11 Paul Nealon 11 Tyrone Nelson 9 Michael Newby 10 110 Underclassmen Mi-Ne Too tall too shoyt? Mntt Jeff’ “Hey tree! Watch out, you’re blocking my sunlight!” Crunch! “Sorry, shorty! I didn’t see you way down there!” If that sounds familiar, you are probably one of those people who was either too tall or too short-at one end or another of the normal growth chart. “My best friend is a foot shor¬ ter than I am, and we always get some weird comments and looks when we are together,” said ju¬ nior Beth Witherspoon. “But, after five years, we’re used to it,” she explained. What were the advantages of being too tall or too short? “Lots,” said 6’ 2” junior James Smith. “I like to be tall because in a crowded hallway I can see over everyone’s heads,“ he explained. “Being short is not so bad,” said 4’ 11” junior Lori Hilbert. “Sometimes short people can get into movies cheaper because they look like little kids,” she ex¬ plained. “I used to hate being short,” said junior Kaylin Dawson. “But, now I realize that good things come in small packages.” There were disadvantages, however, to being something other than normal size. Clothes, for example, could be a problem. “I get embarrassed when I go shopping for clothes because the jeans are usually too short,” said junior Tom Patrick. If you were tall, most people assumed you were a great bas¬ ketball player. “When I was in ninth grade,” said Witherspoon, “I came to a PTA meeting to get acquainted with the school. I had to hide all night from the basketball coach because he wanted me on the team. I hate basketball! I never want to be on a team!” Acceptance, ultimately, was the solution to being a “Mutt or Jeff.” As students ma¬ tured, they overcame the handi¬ cap of being too short or too tall. “When I was in elementary school, I was the tallest kid in my school,” said junior Christine Connor. “I really hated that, but now I realize that it’s not so bad!” Underclassmen OH. om $et , ID on °Z rassiQ co.chuP-,„,melr Ivove on the tube Soap Operas You overheard it at lunch. “Bobby’s back!” “Kyle left in the middle of his wedding to Reva!” “Duke Lavery is paral¬ yzed after saving Scorpio’s life.” “Will Blake recover his for¬ tune?” What were they talking about? Soap operas, of course! “I like soaps,” said junior La Tondra Murray. “They’re fun¬ ny. It’s almost like watching a comedy!” The student body was divided, torn between, “General Hospi¬ tal,” at 3 p.m. on Channel 13, and “The Guiding Light,” at 3 p.m. on Channel 3. “‘Guiding Light’ is my favor¬ ite,” said sophomore Michele Thompson. “It has the best story line.” “I watch ‘General Hospital’ because of Jack Wagner,” said junior Cheryl Sosebee. “He looks so good!” Those students who could not make it home by 3 p.m., and did not want to miss even one steamy episode, taped their favorite soaps on VCR’s. “I tape the soaps while I’m at school, then watch them at night. That way, I don’t miss anything,” said sophomore Jen¬ nifer Godfrey. Even teachers taped the soaps and watched them. “I tape my favorite program and then watch it while I’m fix¬ ing dinner. It takes my mind off of the day’s problems,” said Home Economics teacher Mrs. Sue Smith. If someone did not get their daily dose of love in the after¬ noon, there were always the nighttime soaps. “Dynasty” and its offshoot, “The Colbys,” were the favorites. “I watch ‘Dynasty’ and ‘The Colbys’ because it’s interesting to see the trauma in the lives of rich people,” said junior Stephanie Ingram. Hitting the remote control was more than just tuning in on a good story line. It also meant watching your favorite charac¬ ter. “I like Jack Abbott because he’s a deceiving playboy,” laughed sophomore Herman Rouse. “Duke from ‘General Hospi¬ tal’ is a villain and a hero. I guess that’s why I like him so much,” said freshman Litonia Melvin. Sophomore Karl Otto con¬ densed all of the reasons most people watched the soaps into one simple statement. “Sometimes you just want to watch something ‘smutty,’” he said.

For underclassmen, money was a rarity. Unable to find lu¬ crative part-time jobs because they were under 16, underclass¬ men either baby-sat, did yard work, or were still on the dole from parents. Being penniless was a perpetual state. “I love sales! Without them my life would be meaningless. Either that, or I wouldn’t have a thing to wear,” said junior Karen Stern. To find the perfect sale and a real bargain required a great deal of time and energy. One had to be prepared to dig through racks of assorted sizes and co¬ lors, paw through merchandise piled high on tables, brave the weather outside to search for “sidewalk sale” items, and fight the growing crowds. “One of the things I hate about sales is the people. Some¬ times it’s just too crowded to think,” said junior Michele Woodmansee. Long lines, imperfect items, and limited choices all made sale shopping a tiring chore for the penniless underclassman, Yet, hard work and a sharp eye even¬ tually paid off for some and they rejoiced when they found a de¬ sired item at a reduced price. “When I’m looking for new sports equipment, sales really help me cut costs,” said sopho¬ more Travis Ward. Penniless underclassmen soon learned the ropes. They knew which stores to avoid and the best time to shop. “The ideal time to find a bar¬ gain is at the end of a season or during inventory,” said Stern. “You want to look for something really on sale, not just special merchandise brought in to lure customers to the store,” she ex¬ plained. Being penniless was not so bad 1 when you had your friends to go j shopping with and you found that “ideal outfit” at half the price. Underclassmen Homewoi k: a Study habits Alone in the den, in front of the television, sprawled on your bed, at lunch, or in class before it is due-wherever you did it, there was no avoiding it-home- work. “There’s always too much homework to do. I never have time for anything else!” said sophomore Jennifer Godfrey. Most students felt that teach¬ ers gave too much homework, but some teachers disagreed. They felt they did not give enough homework to properly challenge students. “The average American high school student does 30 minutes of homework a night. The aver¬ age Japanese student does two hours a night. Americans need to work harder if they want to be competitive,” explained Social Studies teacher Mr. Jerry Flowers. Surprisingly, some students liked homework and found it a valuable way to learn. “It expands your mind and it’s better than in class because I’m never pressed for time,” said ju¬ nior John Whelan. “I think homework is good for you,” agreed sophomore Jenny Massey. “But, it shouldn’t be overdone.” For freshmen, who were not used to so much homework, it was usually a “drag.” “I hate it! It’s no good! It should be banished from school,” said freshman Larry Trent. “Homework! I don’t want to talk about it!” exclaimed one anonymous freshman. “There oughta be a law!” Methods of doing homework varied from “on my desk in com¬ plete quiet” to “I t urn on the T.V. and watch that while I do my homework.” Some were unique. “When I do my homework, I turn on the T.V, turn off the sound, and then I turn on some music,” said junior Ken Hodges. Just the opposite, junior Shari Black needed a different setting. “I need total quiet,” she said. “I can’t concentrate if the T.V. is on. I go home and do my home¬ work as soon as I get there,” she added.

They were some of the ingredients that constituted a great night out at a favorite hangout. The best places, according to students, to “hangout” on the weekend were Checkers, Colise¬ um Mall, Waterside, and any movie theater showing a good flick. Al’s Gourmet Outlet and the White Fox were also popular “hangouts.” “I like Waterside because it is different from regular malls. You can browse through the shops, eat a lot, and meet people from other high schools,” said junior Shannon Burcham. Coliseum Mall offered a vari¬ ety of activities for students to enjoy. They could play video games, see a movie, socialize, eat, or shop. “I like to hangout at the Mall because I see a lot of my class¬ mates and my old friends there,” said junior Reggie Hopson. A good movie, such as “Top Gun,” “Crocodile Dundee,” “Golden Child,” or “Little Shop of Horrors,” was always a popu¬ lar pastime. “There’s nothing better to do than get a bucket of popcorn and a coke and sit back and watch a great movie,” said freshman Chris Brinkley. “A good comedy helps release the tension that builds up during the school week,” said junior Sean Scott. Checkers, a new “night club” for teens, was often packed with students who wanted to dance and socialize. “Checkers is a great place be¬ cause you can dance and meet people from other high schools,” said junior Billy Verell. “I like going to Al’s Gourmet Go-Go because it is always a nice crowd there and the music is live,” said junior Trina Cor¬ bin. Weekends were made for fun, and students had definite ideas on where to find “the action.” “Hangouts are important to a teenager’s social life. Friends, new people, and no hassles are a must for a good hangout,” said junior Sean Pomeroy.

Ac¬ tually, they’re not final by any stretch of the imagination! They’re planning to give them to ‘ you all over again at the end of the next semester! “If, on the other hand, they planned to take you out back and shoot you if you flunked-then, that would be a final exam!”- Funky Winkerbean, Guide to Taking Tests, January 5. Whether they liked it or not, students had to face up to taking exams twice a year. And, like the comic character Funky Winker¬ bean, they dreaded the occasion. “I’d probably have straight A’s in all my classes if I didn’t have to take tests, quizzes, and exams,’’ said freshman Dawn Conrad. “I don’t seem to have too much success when it comes to that part of the class,” she said. Since exams counted 20 per cent of the final grade, students were often apprehensive. It took skill and experience to get over being scared of exams. “I used to approach exams un¬ der a lot of stress,” said junior Mike Schmidt. “But, now I take exams with more confidence and try to overcome my fear. My grades reflect the change,” he added. Students resorted to a variety of methods, other than studying, to get through exams. Praying, guessing, cheating, meditating, and pure luck were some of the approaches used by students. Wise students relied on under¬ standing the teacher’s approach. “Once you get to know a teacher’s style and how they test, you’ll find it a lot easier to take the exam,” said junior Marvin Lands. “But, if you are unable to do that, you may find yourself in a lot of trouble come test day,” he explained. Students agreed. “Exams were a lot of trouble, but some¬ thing you had to take, like vitam- lot of ti oiibleS Underclassmen Tlmndey thiglt blues Keeping fit “Ate too much pizza, you say?” “Have to trim those thun¬ der thighs before you buy a new bathing suit?” “Heard you gain¬ ed a little weight over the holi¬ days and need to get in shape.” Teenagers, like adults, were, for the most part, concerned with “feeling fit” and “looking good.” “I eat three meals a day and take all of my vitamins,” said sophomore Mary-Holland Wood. “I also ride an exercise bike 10 minutes a day to keep in shape,” she added. For athletes, staying in shape and conditioning were important factors in their training. Base¬ ball players worked out with aer¬ obic exercises, taught by Ms. Donna Stephens, and football players and wrestlers put in many long sessions in the weight room after school hours. “During the off-season, our team lifts weights three days a week,” said varsity football play¬ er Reggie High. “And when we return from spring break, we start a conditioning program. It’s a year-round sport,” he added. A survey of 100 students re¬ vealed that 60 per cent of the girls were concerned about their weight and found it difficult to control the pounds. Eighty per cent of the males surveyed indi¬ cated that they were satisfied with their weight. However, Mrs. Cynthia Carr, a P.E. in¬ structor, believed that students did not exercise enough and that “keeping fit” was mostly an adult habit. “The kids don’t want to sweat,” said Mrs. Carr. “The adults are exercising much more,” she added. Nevertheless, teenagers joi¬ ned spas, took up jogging, lifted weights, went on diets, and worked out in search of the body beautiful. “Lifting weights is a great way to keep my body in shape,” said wrestler Shannon Conrad. “It is also a great way to release energy and tension,” he explain¬ ed. “Cross Country running gave me a chance to push myself to the limit of my physical abilities and keep in shape at the same time,” said junior Lisa VanPelt, the only girl to finish the season, on the fall track team.

Cosmetically, contacts were the answer for many a myopic teenager. “I enjoy contacts a lot more than glasses. Now, I can show off my eyes,” giggled sophomore Stacey Faulk. Appearance was the main rea¬ son students switched to con¬ tacts, but not the only one. “I switched from glasses to contacts because, in gymnastics, contacts are more comfortable, and I don’t have to worry about them slipping off of my nose,” said sophomore Jennifer God¬ frey. As with any wonderful solu¬ tion to one problem, a host of other problems arose. “I got contacts because I could see better out of them, but sometimes my eyes get blurry,” said sophomore Karl Otto. Contacts also took daily care, and required patience. “I always have to clean them. If I don’t, then my eyes get irri¬ tated. It’s kind of annoying,” said sophomore Gregory Sew¬ ard. “I have to get up early to clean them and once I’ve worn them for too long, I can’t see,” said sophomore Michelle Thompson. Some students were still faced with having to wear glasses. Most of them would have given anything for the joy of wearing contacts. “I know if I got contacts. I’d look and see better. Now, all I have to do is convince my par¬ ents,” said freshman James Dougherty. As contacts became more pop¬ ular, glasses were seen less and less. The day was coming when “Freddy four-eyes” would dis¬ appear forever.

Burge, a member of the Hampton Volun¬ teer Company, was also a talent¬ ed art student and winner of sev¬ eral poster contests. Burge loved his volunteer work. “Being a fire-fighter is excit¬ ing and fun. Each fire scene is different. You don’t know if you are being called to a house whose teapot is on fire or if the entire house is ablaze,’’ he said. “At the scene, my Job is to sal¬ vage and overhaul. I clean up the mess if there is a lot of wreckage and I look to make certain the fire is extinguished and there are not any smouldering coals,’’ he explained. Burge put his artistic talents to work in the school newspaper as a cartoonist and he designed the yearbook cover. President of the Art League, Burge headed up both artwork projects in the hallways. Talented seniors Christine Knight and Tony Williams ear¬ ned first seats in the soprano and tenor sections in the prestigious Honors Choir. The state-wide competition brought 630 of the best singers from around the state together to vie for 128 places in Honors Choir. “It was the hardest thing I ever auditioned for,’’ said Knight. “We had to sight read and we were not only judged on our singing ability, but also our stage quality and how well we performed. I didn’t even think about making it,’’ she exclaim¬ ed. Knight, an accomplished dancer, would like to double ma¬ jor in voice and dance in college. “I feel I am equally capable in both areas and it would be dif¬ ficult to choose one over the oth¬ er,’’ she said.

However, in or¬ der to make the grade, seniors took an active part in the community. Government stu¬ dents sat restlessly through City Council meetings for credit. “We did whatever we could to pass the time. We wrote notes to each other and enjoyed some of the crazy ideas people presented to the board, “ said Shirley Lit¬ tle. Seniors considered the meet¬ ings an opportunity to get to¬ gether with friends outside of class. At the same time, they learned about local govern¬ ment. “It was neat meeting Council¬ man Wornom on the elevator go¬ ing up to the meeting. He was friendly and seemed interested in our activities,” said Madeline Faisca. The boredom and suffering did not stop with the long-wind¬ ed speakers at Council meetings. Night after night was devoted to the “MacNeil Lehre Newsh- our” as students racked up the required television hours for a time-consuming government class. “I would turn the TV on and turn the volume down. Then, I’d call a friend and talk about something interesting,” confes¬ sed Kelly Debnam. Elections in November pro¬ vided seniors with an opportuni¬ ty to try their hand in politics. Supporting either Republican Herb Bateman or Democrat Bobby Scott, seniors donated many hours to the cam¬ paign. “I campaigned for Bateman and was really into the election,” said Laura Renn. “When he won, I felt victorious too because I was part of it.” Although they were not the hottest item on the thrill chart, government projects were worth every minute as long as friends were along. It was just another part of be¬ ing a senior! A. GEORGE CORDON : FHA; SCA LYNN M. CORMICLE : FBLA YVETTE D. CORMIER DFCA; FBLA; Foolball Flomecoming Court, Queen JEFFREY B. COVINGTON .

The Magnet School, first of its kind in Virginia, offered col¬ lege courses in Physics, Chemis¬ try and Biology for high school students who worked in an atmo¬ sphere and laboratory resem¬ bling college. With the college campus, professors, books and laboratory equipment, the set¬ ting gave the students a preview of college. Seniors attended the daily two hour class, from 7:30 to 9:30, before coming to school for four more classes. “The work is difficult and time consuming, but the hands- on experience will be a vital part of my survival in college,” said senior Kathie Krumpen. Added benefits of the pro¬ gram included preparation for advanced placement tests, 12 weighted credits, and the 90-100 A grading scale. In-depth study and learning about subjects that went beyond the high school curriculum made the courses interesting. Under¬ standing the parts of cats and sharks through dissection, mak¬ ing aspirin, and keeping the or¬ gans of a brain-dead frog alive are just a few of the experiments performed by the students. The Magnet School, in its second year of existence, drew praise. “They are the best and brightest students,” said Dr. An¬ derson, a professor at the Mag¬ net School. “They all are hard working and sincere.” Not only did the students attend class, but they were also expected to donate five hours a week with a mentor in the local scientific community. Senior Katherine Padgett worked at the Rehabilitation Institute of Vir¬ ginia, while others worked at the Norfolk Zoo, NASA, VA Hos¬ pital, and Riverside. “Although the work is quite extensive and demands most of my time, I would take the course again,” said senior Ian Sobieski. “The only bad thing about the entire experience was wak¬ ing up at 5:45 a.m. Otherwise, it was definitely a worth while pro¬ gram. I liked meeting students from other high schools,” said Padgett. “I learned so much that will help me next year,” said senior Rhonda Collier.

First to the president of the class, then to the executive board, and, fi¬ nally, to members of the class. There was no stopping the mes¬ sage that caught on like the chicken pox-“Seniors, Show Your Spirit.” It began in the summer with class officers Jennifer Brown, Kevin Siemann, Meg Gorski, Jackie Scull, Allen Glover, Kris Pelham, and Sara Sawyer. “We organized committees for Prom, Class Night, and Homecoming in the summer,” explained President Brown. “We also wrote the first Senior Bulletin, prepared for the Youth Forum, set up a display case in the hall that presented a history of the class, and pitched in to prepare football programs and began our fundraisers.” Proof that class spirit was contagious was the number of students who volunteered to par¬ ticipate. “They were a superb class. The cooperation and support they gave to the executive board in community and class projects was excellent,” said Senior Class Sponsor Ms. Emma Flood. “To encourage participation, we tried to acknowledge seniors in each newsletter,” she added. The two pep rallies during football season left no doubt that the class was possessed with spir¬ it. Seniors won the Spirit Jug at both rallies, placed first in Spirit Week participation, and wove a Spirit Chain that, by far, ex¬ celled the other classes’ efforts. The Senior Float won First Place in the Homecoming Pa¬ rade, and, according to senior Jack Hannan, chairman of the float committee, “It was spec¬ tacular.” “The theme of the float was ’Roast the Raiders,’ and we worked hard to make it a win¬ ner,” said Hannan. “The little touches, like the fan blowing red paper strips to resemble fire, showed the judges how much time we had spent.” Seniors took their roles in the school as leaders seriously, because, to them, it was part of being spirited. “As a senior, I feel we have to lead the underclassmen, like on the softball and basketball teams,” said senior Yoko Inoue. “I feel they look up to the Senior Class. We are like older brothers and sisters to them.” “There is no doubt about it!” said Senior Class President Jennifer Brown in her gradua¬ tion speech. “The Class of ’87 has the most spirit! You are the best! The Class of ’87 is the best!” Each senior had his or her own way of showing class spirit throughout the year, but, togeth¬ er, members of the class proved to the rest of the school that it was “exciting to be a senior!” DWIGHT L.

LAWS : Art League; Spanish Club Seniors pay the pyice Costs mount “Not another expense!” com¬ plained senior Kevin Koren as he paid for his graduation an¬ nouncements. Keren’s lament was a com¬ mon one for seniors as they faced mounting costs for senior “necessities” throughout the year. Not only did seniors pay normal financial costs, like book and locker fees, but class obliga¬ tions also made the year expen¬ sive. Just how much the year cost was debatable. “I would guess close to $500, if you include Prom and Senior Skip,” said senior Bridget Tel- linger. Expenses began to add up when school started and school fees of $19.50 were paid. Sitting fees for senior portraits were $5, and many seniors spent about $50 for pictures. In the spring. Cap and Gown pictures were also available for those willing to spend another $50. An activity card cost $18, and senior dues were $20. For col¬ lege-bound seniors, SAT fees were $11.50 and the average se¬ nior endured them at least twice, for a total of $23. College applications cost ap¬ proximately $20 each and, usu¬ ally, a minimum of three were sent to prospective colleges. This cost $60, plus a $6 transcript fee added on by the Guidance Of¬ fice. The Government Financial Aid Form, for those who remem¬ bered to file it, cost $12.50. “I probably enjoyed paying the $14 for the cap, gown, and extra tassle the most, because it meant that graduation was just around the corner,” said senior Barbara Ivens. Announcements cost a conser¬ vative $40, and the yearbook was $20 ($ 10 for those with an activi¬ ty card). Senior Skip Weekend was shortened to make up a snow day, but those who went to Nags Head probably spent $70 for room, gas, and food. Last, but not least, were Prom expenses. “The Prom was easily the most expensive part of the whole year,” said senior Byron Kriz. “When you add up a tuxedo, a nice dinner, corsage, gas, break¬ fast and pictures, it cost as much as $150.” All of the seniors’ expenses to¬ taled $598.50, but, for the ma¬ jority of seniors, the memories and memorabilia of the year were worth the cost.

POWELL Drapei peei s� High aehievei Homework was never a problem for senior Dawnell Draper. In fact, reading and learning were some of her favor¬ ite pastimes. Dawnell’s love of books, coupled with her thirst for knowledge, endowed her with natural ability that in turn in¬ spired her peers. Among her academic ac¬ complishments, Dawnell was chosen Citizen of the Month in October and was a member of the National Honor Society. As an active member of the Model United Nations, Dawnell voiced her opinions on world issue. Her most outstanding achievement was being named a National Merit finalist. “Dawnell was a lovely young lady and an excellent stu¬ dent. She was well-liked and re¬ spected by both her peers and the faculty,” said physics teach¬ er Mr. John Quinn. Along with academic excel¬ lence, Dawnell was talented. Writing poetry, sketching, and painting were favorite pursuits. Also interested in athletics, Dawnell attained the status of black belt in Hapkido. “Dawnell was a very sensi¬ tive, warm, and caring person. She wanted to know and under¬ stand things and was always aware of the things around her. Dawnell was concerned about people, not just herself,” said English teacher Mrs. Sophia Romano. Dawnell was a member of the German Club and the Girl Scouts and volunteered her help to serve the community whenev¬ er possible. “Dawnell was more than just a sister, she was my best friend. We talked about the fu¬ ture and the things we would do together. It is hard to realize that these things will never become real. Every time something happens to change my life, I will think of her and wish she were with me,” said junior Jennifer Draper. At the request of her fami¬ ly, a Dawnell Draper Memorial Fund was started for the Kec- oughtan library. A sum of over $3,000 was collected for the pur¬ chase of books in memory of Dawnell. Each book will be dis¬ tinguished by a plaque on the front cover. Certain books were requested by family, friends, and Mrs. Romano. Dawnell Draper died De¬ cember 12,1986 in Woodbridge, Virginia. She was giving a speech on world peace at a Mod¬ el United Nations Conference. Interest in such topics was typi¬ cal of Dawnell’s concern for her family, friends, school and class¬ mates.

THOMAS: Mixed Chorus 140 Seniors Sm-Th if Facing the real world Earning bread Graduating did not mean going off to college for every se¬ nior. Although the majority planned to continue their educa¬ tion, others listened to a differ¬ ent drum beat. The Armed Forces held an attraction for some seniors. Signing up meant a guaranteed job, tuition assistance, and a chance to travel. “I plan to enter the Navy in the advanced electronics field. I know ril learn a lot and Fll get paid for it, too!” explained Mike Cheatham. “The opportunity to see the world sounds good.” Three other seniors, Gor¬ don Dandridge, Brent Simon¬ son, and Tess Jackson planned to enlist in the Air Force, while An¬ dre Cumberbatch opted for the Army. “I am joining the Army right after graduation. I need to get out of the house and have some independence,” explained Cumberbatch. Still other seniors were un¬ decided about their future and needed time to consider all of the possibilities. “Next year, Fm going to take a year off to get my life in order,” said George Cordon. “Fll probably get my own apart¬ ment,” he added. “I will work as a sailing in¬ structor and then go to college at some point,” said Michael Smith, who wanted to wait a year before deciding. For still others, some type of training was involved. “Next year, I want to go to the Virginia School of Hair De¬ sign and maybe later on I will join the Air Force,” said Veron¬ ica McHerrin. “I want to go to some type of training school and specialize in mechanics and then, after awhile, go to a two-year business school,” said Leroy Ward. For Tim Vinson, marriage to Traci Bollinger in February meant he would work and take computer classes at night. Bobby Bartlett yearned for far away places, while Lynn Cormicle said she would “stay-put.” “I want to go to California and get a job selling cars,” said Bartlett. “I already have a job work¬ ing at the Mall, and I hope to find another. Fll probably die there,” said Cormicle. No matter what seniors fi¬ nally decided to do after gradua¬ tion, they were united in rejoic¬ ing over freedom from the con¬ fines of high school. It was enough, already! PATRICIA D. TILLEY JOHN J. TIMMER: Band; German Club SOCHAKRYA J. TON: Library Club; Student Aide STEPHEN K. TYLER CHRISTOPHER N.

For “high and mighty” sen¬ iors, those were the rights they had been waiting to claim since birth. Such rights were dubbed “Senior Privileges,” and while they lasted only one sweet year, owners were known to make the best of them. The privileges took many forms, from later curfews set by parents to a lighter work load from sympathetic teachers. “Being the big duck in a lit¬ tle pond is really great. I can look back and see how funny and im¬ mature I used to be,” laughed Tanya Caricofe. “The best thing is knowing that, after this year. I’ll never have to come back here!” said Bill Hollingsworth. Most of the seniors agreed that the last semester was hope¬ less when it came to a lot of ho¬ mework, because, after all, who wants to work when “Senioritis” is everywhere. “Once we received our first college acceptance, teachers re¬ alized we were too far gone for help. They were usually a whole lot easier on us,” said Madeline Faisca. “It just seems like teachers understand when you start los¬ ing your mind,” said Teresa Diggs. Although the school did not approve a “senior week,” when seniors could break the dress code and eat in their own special section of the cafeteria, some clubs and the class provided a few privileges. The annual German Club field trip to Georgetown was highlighted by a senior banquet. It consisted of a “great meal at a pretty elegant restaurant,” compliments of the German Club. “I’ve been in the German Club for three years and have al¬ ways looked forward to the trip my senior year,” said Wesley Payne. “It’s a great way to honor people who have worked hard for the class and the club,” he added. A group of seniors, spon¬ sored by the Fort Monroe Youth Club, spent a weekend hiking and camping in the Appalachian Mountains. “I was not prepared for the amount of work involved with the trip, but I made some new se¬ nior friends that I did not know before,” said Emily Magers. Other special events for seniors included Class Night, the Prom, Senior Skip at Nags Head, and Graduation. On Class Night, May 28, seniors recognized individuals who had aided the class and en¬ joyed talent acts and skits. “I enjoyed the snake line,” said senior Meg Gorski. For “the high and the mighty,” the last few months of school were the realization and culmination of 12 years of antic¬ ipation. It was, indeed, their spe¬ cial time. ' ■ ’ 8 .

On Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day week¬ end, 1986, nearly five and one-half million people joined hands along a 4,152-mile line across the country to raise funds, and consciousness, for the homeless and hungry. Hands Across America was proclaimed a success. It was a broad idea, as wide as America itself, But, when Americans linked up for 15-minutes and sang in uni¬ son We Are The World, the Hands Across America theme, and America The Beautiful, it worked. Although there were some weak inks, officials believed that they went ever the 50 million dollar goal. Outside of the U.S., on the same day, Hands Across America was eclipsed by Sport Aid, the latest campaign for African famine relief. Co¬ sponsored by the United Nation ' s Chil¬ dren ' s Fund, the effort attracted 20 mil¬ lion people in 78 countries. The cam¬ paign, headed by British rock star Bob Geldof, led to as much as 150 million dollars in pledges. Closer to home, Virginians partici¬ pated in Hands Across Virginia Beach. Several radio stations publi¬ cized the event and over 1,000 partici¬ pants purchased T-shirts to become a link. Others gathered in Wasington, D.C. and joined hands with the Reag¬ ans on the steps of the White House. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi a BMfli«flHM a� ieaat8a� ttte a8Mtt «� «B� aiaigaiaK � ae«ag a : iife i Si IB SB 98 SI 8s is SB I SBBBBUSiiiliBeBiill ' iieei Rites of passage ' TAND BY ME: Directed by Rob Reiner (formerly Meotheod on All in the Family ), and based on Stephen King ' s novella, Stand By Me recalled Americana tunes like Yakety Yak and Lollipop, lollipop.

Stone ' s searing, controversial film turned an autobiographical sketch into a grim tale of war. Focusing on the grunts, filthy, frightened, anonymous in¬ fantrymen who fought and died in the tropical climate of Vietnam, the film is a realistic portrayal of one of the most unpopular wars of the last century and the soldiers who fought it. The battle pitted between two sergeants, hu¬ mane Willem Dafoe and savage Tom Berenger, over the soul of volunteer Charlie Sheen, is a classic battle of good and evil.

First Lady Nancy Reagan designated the war on drugs” a national ef¬ fort. The Reagan administra¬ tion doubled its drug-en¬ forcement budget to $15 billion and began efforts to reduce the demand for drugs. Mrs. Reagan ' s efforts to get young people to Just Say No” to drugs finally became a top item on President Ronald Reagan ' s public agenda as he joined the First Lady ' s crusade, calling drugs a national tragedy,” and war¬ ning all America of the consequences of drug use. According to government surveys, 4.3 Americans were drug users. Cocaine be¬ came the most popular drug of all time, and crack” its most addictive form. The co¬ caine-related death of Maryland basketball star Len Bias focused national attention on athletes ' use of drugs. Urinalysis tests to de¬ tect possible drug use by athletes and em¬ ployees were initiated. Stating that it was un¬ constitutional, Americans were in a state of panic about drugs. Hampton’s hottest issue hits the schools local debate: Does sex edu¬ cation belong in the class¬ room? Hampton City Schools were the scene of contro¬ versy as the school board tried to initiate sex educa¬ tion in the schools and con¬ cerned parents rejected the idea. Mean¬ while, teenage pregnancy continued to es¬ calate. The Hampton Health Department report- 148 Top 40 ed 546 teenage pregnancies and in Virginia over 12,000 pregnancies of teenagers be¬ came an alarming statistic. By the end of 1986, 19 pregnancies were reported at KHS. One hot issue of debate was school- based clinics. The school board proposed such a clinic at Phoebus High School, but par¬ ents, students and faculty objected, The argument continued as the school board searched for ways to deal with the sensitive issues of teenage pregnancy and sexual awareness. —2 I mmmmm mmmmm ty -fi- mmmmm mmmmmmmmm ...

The five-LP Springsteen Live 1975-1985 ' ' collection topped album sales and album-oriented radio pro¬ gramming throughout the first of the year. Roughly in order of time, the album included Springsteen classics such as Born to Run ' ' and Rosalita” as well as more commercial, successful fare such as the uneventful anthem Born in the U.S.A. ' ' Springsteen Live ' ' was not as popular with critics, however. Spring¬ steen tailed to escape the ordinary through overrated ambition. The vulgar illiteracy of the Beastie Boys received recognition in 1987. The Boys ' debut disc, Licensed to III,” sold over a million copies, Run-D.M.C. pro¬ ducer Rick Rubin produced the LP with the Boys giving him the distinction of being the most successful rap producer in recording history. This distinction got him nowhere on Grammy night, however, as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis walked away with the best producer award. When the Acad¬ emy elected the cream of the industry, a tew new faces were visible, including the duo receiving honors for Janet Jackson ' s Control” LP. The year was characterized, how¬ ever, by older, familiar faces, half of them over 35. Consequently, it was dubbed the year of the dinosaur.” Grammies went to Barbra Streisand for best female performance,” Steve Winwood for best male perform¬ ance,” and Paul Simon for best al¬ bum,” Dinosaur Peter Gabriel, nomi¬ nated in six categories, was shut out and forced to settle for the British equivalent. Finally, the year brought talent to local arenas. In early October, the Nor¬ wegian band, a-ha, played Chrysler Hall to kick off the year.

D’Elia 3 Cw PO NOT Tip of the iceberg: Kids, ’Stay Clean!’ orrelating to America ' s year of crusading, sev¬ eral teen enthusiasts took the stage to lec¬ ture to youth about certain fatal situations and to urge the younger generation to Stay Clean! For 16 foreign exchange students, crusades and American lifestyles were not only different and exciting, but also frightening and bewildering. April 7 at the Hampton Coliseum, former policeman and drug addict Da¬ vid Toma spoke to Hampton Roads stu¬ dents about the dangers and hazards of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes, Sponsored by WTKR in relation to its de¬ pendence series, Toma used gripping accounts of drug and alcohol abuse and reached out to the audience, pleading with them not to get involved 152 Top 40 with drugs. Drug abuse, however, was only the tip of the iceberg. With the escalating spread of AIDS, the Hampton City School Board attempted to make stu¬ dents aware of the consequences of casual sexual activity. Touring the schools, the Physical Education Depart¬ ment presented a film and lecture on the spread of AIDS. The SCA and Student Assistance Counselor Mrs, Pam Wright distributed pamphlets on drinking and driving, AIDS, suicide, drug abuse, and child abuse. More help was needed. Kecough- tan was chosen to be a pilot school for administrative aides. Mr, Harold Vanlue was hired to keep students legal. He checked parking lots, patrolled the halls, watched the grounds, and checked for smoking in the bathrooms. AN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE!

President Reagan speaks to Girls ' Na¬ tion delegates in the White House Rose Garden. Photo courtesy of senior Kris Pelham. A political miracle T hey said it couldn ' t be done! Scrap the colossal federal tax code and write a simpler one? Never! Except that once in a while even the impossible be¬ came possible. Thus, tax re¬ form, a political miracle not accomplished since World War II, became a reality. The Tax Reform Act of ' 1986 was one of a few pieces of legislation that could truly be called historic, despite other complications of the Reagan administration. It affected nearly everyone of 99.6 million individuals and three million corporations that paid federal income taxes. Some businesses, who had paid no tax, had to start coughing up money at the begin¬ ning of the next fiscal year.The new tax bill wiped out exceptions and deductions and in¬ stead of shifting the tax burden from business to individuals, it switched the load the other way. Although the new tax law did not go into effect until January ' 1987, tax payers looked ahead. Many Americans complained about the loss of deductions and cherished tax breaks, but economists stated that by 1990 America would begin to reap the benefits of the Reagan administration ' s miracle. The storm that rocked the White House 7 he tale sounded really too bizarre to be believed. Imagine, the U.S. conniving about arms shipments to Iran, the very country that held Americans hostage for 444 days in 1979. The country whose lead¬ er, the fanatical Ayatullah Khomeini, was suspected of sponsoring terrorist attacks on Americans. The cherry on top of this unbelievable concoction of events was the fact that key Reagan officials had tried to keep the whole bizarre affair a secret from Congress and most of the U.S. government. Why were the shades pulled down at the White House? It was quite evident that the administration had been caught with its pants down, so to speak. The White House scrambled to put a lid on the rapidly expan¬ ding story. But, later, reports uncovered an arms trade for U.S. hostages in Lebanon. Apparently, Iran leaned on Lebanese terrorists to free the Americans. The consequences were unavoidable. Public humiliation, followed by the resigna¬ tions of several key Reaganite officials made the situation worse. The administra¬ tion had violated a succession of U.S. dic¬ tates that were intended to stop any arms deals with Iran. After months of investigations and, fi¬ nally, an apology from President Reagan, the U.S. government was still looking for one million dollars that might have gone to the Contras in Nicauragua who were fighting to overthrow the Sandinista government. In the midst of the scandal, the admin¬ istration was trying to save face while pub¬ lic morale and trust hit a new low. It was ap¬ parent that the affair hurt Reagan. Ac¬ cording to the polls, support for Reagan dropped for the first time since his first term in ' 81. Top 40 153 7 here was a cola war raging in America. Pepsi versus Coca-cola raised public con¬ sciousness to the point that there were mad rushes to the local store to grab the last bottles of Cherry Coke, Cheer Wine, and Sparkling Slice.

In fact, microwave everything was trendy. Peanut and jelly pop-tarts were new and fast food Egg Roll shops ap¬ peared like magic everywhere. Whoppers, Big Macs, and Big Clas¬ sics sold for 99 cents. However, pizza and greasy French fries remained the favorite foods of teenagers. Hairstyles shape up airstyles were not the M only important state- ment of individuality. The color of hair could W m striking as its shape. Hair ranged from red and orange to purple and deep black. Multi-colors, rat tails, and military shaves were popular styles for both the guys and the girls, Bobs and French braids were styl¬ ish, along with finger waves, frizz, and jeri-curls. Large loops and earrings dan¬ gled from the bottom of a fancy hair¬ do, while big bows and mane tamers pulled the hair back to the ear. The Afro was out, flat-tops were in. Names, phrases, and symbols were carved into the sculptured box top hairstyles. Hair took on many shapes, like Isoceles triangles or mops. For those who dared, it was another year of the Great Hair Affair. 154 Top 40 REEBOK MANIA!

Faded jeans and bomber jackets covered a spectrum of long-John shirts and tank tops. The ever popular Dock Siders and grungies” were slipped on over colorful socks. For the bare-foot- er,” Espadrills and leather Huaraches set the pace. It was back to the i9th Century for skirts and dresses. They were either too tight or too short, while the guys ' pants drooped, sagged, or were rolled up at the hem. Turtlenecks were worn under ev¬ erything and back packs, big sacks, and purses, that could carry everything from the kitchen sink to a brush, bobbed down the hallways. For the athletic type, Reeboks and ankle-laced tennis shoes were joined by green and orange hi-top Con¬ verses. Fat laces, holding together red and black Adidas sneakers, contrasted with butter cookies and sugar babies that had no laces. It was neat to be Western.

Top 40 155 Networks in hot pursuit of ’bad guys’ rime time was set aside to fight the bad guys. The networks hosted several shows repre¬ senting real life detec¬ tives, lawyers, and cops. ABC topped the rating charts Tuesday night with ' ' Moonlighting, ' ' starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shep¬ herd. Besides solving their cases, Mattie and Dave found time to stum¬ ble over their hidden romance. One love affair followed another with Jack and Mike, an ABC series starring Shelley Hack as Jackie a suc¬ cessful journalist and her Mike, played by Tom Mason, who runs his own bar in Chicago. But, don ' t touch that diall Thursday night on NBC was a hit with the new se¬ ries L.A. Law, starring lawyers Mike and Grace played by Harry Hamlin and Susan Dey. NBC cancelled its popular cop se¬ ries Hill Street Blues. The ratings sug¬ gested the T.V. viewers did not want real crime, but a new age comedy adventure like Max Headroom, Twen¬ ty Minutes into the Future. Max Head- room, replacing Hill Street Blues, spotlighted a three-dimensional head of Max, a funny character with an im¬ measurable amount of charm. Sitcom showstoppers leave their nests hat did Michael J. Fox, Lisa Bonet, and Shelley Long all have in com¬ mon? Besides playing popular characters in three successful sitcoms, each star set out to try something new. Shelley Long, who played Diane on NBC ' s Cheers, left the successful Cheers gang to spend more time with her son and to escape the intelli¬ gent, bumbling, blonde stereotype ac¬ credited to her character. Meanwhile, Michael J. Fox, the ar¬ rogant Alex Keaton on NBC ' s Family Ties, proved his versatility in the movie The Secret of My Success, as well as the past summer ' s box office smash, Back to the Future. Lisa Bonet escaped her good girl image as Denise in the top-rated sitcom The Cosby Show to make an X-rated appearance in the movie Angel Heart. After splicing 15 se c¬ onds of a steamy love scene from the controversial movie, producers were able to make Angel Heart an R-rated film. SECRET OF MY SUCCESS: MicbaeU. Fox.

Connor reclaims Americas’ Cup; Gooden makes pro comeback; New York Mets clinch World Series: Giants win Super Bowl XXI P aramount Pictures ' Crocodile Dundee first exposed Ameri¬ cans to the Australian outback, but through¬ out the year, the land down under continued to attract world-wide attention. The exploits of Paul Hogan were overshadowed by the contest at sea in February, as the t987 Americas ' Cup yacht race attracted unprecedented excitement. The year marked the first significant American reaction to the race. Rising from obscurity, the event became the first fashionable Americas ' Cup in the race ' s 100-year history. Watching Dennis Connor redeem his 1983 loss and Yank the Cup Back became a national pastime. Video re¬ corders were set for the nightly broad¬ casts, and ESPN, the only network tele¬ vising the race via satellite, noted a sig¬ nificant surge of ratings numbers in its early morning time slot. New York was successful across the board in 1986- ' 87, winning the World Series in October and the Super Bowl in January. Trailing in the pennant playoffs, the Big Apples ' Mets and Bos¬ ton ' s Red Sox advanced to the World Series. Boston routed a shocked New York at their own Shea Stadium to go up two to nothing and create nationwide speculation. But, the Mets quickly countered, winning the next two. The key sixth game won the series for the Mets. With New York down, 5-3, in extra innings, the Mets rallied to hand Boston its choker label once again. Pitcher Dwight Gooden, outstand¬ ing throughout the season and in the playoffs, served as a role model for youngsters across the country, at least until he failed drug tests in March and was referred to a rehabilitation pro¬ gram. He made a comeback, howev¬ er, May 12 at Met Park in Norfolk in the Tidewater Tides uniform. Gooden re¬ ceived a standing ovation from the ca¬ pacity crowd on hand to welcome him back to professional baseball. New York completely overpow¬ ered its Super Bowl XXI opposition. The Giant ' s quarterback, Phil Simms, shat¬ tered all Super Bowl completion per¬ centage records in late January when he led the Giants over the Denver Broncos, 39-20. Simms threw for 88 per cent, a fantasy come true for an NFL quarterback. On the home front, students con¬ tinued to practice whirls and loops on skateboards, ride the waves on surfboards, and challenge dexterity with a game of Hacky Sack.

Americans ponder moral codes, ethics in year of many scandals he spring of 1987 will be remembered as a time when American moral¬ ity went on trial. Institu¬ tions that provided a framework for life in the United States-politics, government, church, business, sports, and the mili¬ tary-all were under attack because of severe violations of ethics. The unsettled Iran-Contra hearings exposed high government officials, ousting them from office and mocking them in public. Is it another Water¬ gate? cried the media. With con¬ tempt for democratic principles, Ameri¬ cans attacked the Constitution for giv¬ ing the President too much power. However, just as the political arena began to reevaluate itself, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, Gary Hart, withdrew from the race after Miami Herald reporters claimed that they had witnessed a 29-year-old woman leave his townhouse in Wash¬ ington, D.C. after spending the night. Hart sought to revive his stalled cam¬ paign but failed. Locally, wild rumors linking former Governor Charles S. Robb to cocaine parties in Virginia Beach circulated for weeks. Robb, a possible presidential candidate, denied all reports and sought to vindicate himself. Other sparks were triggered from an escalating Holy War. Evangelist Jim Bakker was fired from his position as leader of PTL after admitting to a sexual encounter with a church secretary, Jes¬ sica Hahn. By early May, Bakker was ac¬ cused of homosexual encounters and soliciting prostitutes. Reports also stat¬ ed that officials of the religious organi¬ zation had participated in wife¬ swapping. Wife Tammy admitted to drug addiction and, worst of all, over two million dollars in PTL missionary funds and a brand new Cadillac were missing. As if the American character had not already undergone a complete fundamental change, reportedly U.S. Marines, in return for sexual favors, al¬ lowed Soviet spies to roam through the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. After an inves¬ tigation, it was reported that several bugging devices were wired throughout the Embassy and that the spies had complete access to safes. As early as October, reports stated that there was an inside trading ring in the Stock Market. Ring leader Ivan Boesky was alleged to have acquired inside information on company mer¬ gers. He waited until the stocks went up (after buying the stock), then sold it be¬ fore it went down. Boesky sold the stock before anyone knew that the compa¬ ny was in trouble. Then, he took the money, millions of dollars, and ran until the Securities Exchange Commission caught up with him. In professional sports, several ath¬ letes, like Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets, were sent for drug rehabilita¬ tion after admitting to using cocaine. Newport News native Larry Bethea of the Dallas Cowboys killed himself after allegations were made about his un¬ controllable drug use. What was going on? Was it a coin¬ cidence that some American role mo¬ dels proved unworthy? That the clergy went astray? That political candidates failed to live up to moral standards? Some blamed it on the media, but most Americans agreed that men with feet of clay had no business in public life. Morality was on trial and the public was indignant as scandal after scandal shocked the country. The result was a re-evaluation of moral codes and ethics as Americans waded through a morass of deceit. 160 Top 40 The USS Stark: ‘An American Tragedy’ emorial Day weekend seemed a fitting time for the grieving naval community at Mayport Naval Base in Florida to hold a memorial service for the 37 sailors killed May M when their guided-missile frigate. The Stark, was struck by an Iraqi aircraft. President Reagan, Defense Secre¬ tary Caspar Weinberger, and Navy Secretary James Webb attended the service. Meanwhile, the Senate, reacting to the raid, called on President Reagan to inform Congress of the risks of U.S. in¬ volvement in the Persian Gulf. But, Reagan did not intend to let the attack force the U.S. to abandon the Gulf. “As we grieve the loss of our brave sons, let no one doubt our resolve to protect our vital interests in the Persian Gulf, or anywhere else, said President Reagan.

His throat was par¬ ched and he longed for something to drink. The finish line was so far away, but he kept running. With persistence and endurance, senior Kevin Siemann crossed the line, fin¬ ishing the course at Gosnold’s Hope Park. Plagued by injuries and inexperience, the harriers struggled through the season without winning a meet. However, all was not lost as the younger members of the team gained the valuable experience of partici¬ pating in the regular season meets and the district finals, learning from the team’s vet¬ erans along the way. “Our record doesn’t indicate the many things that our team learned. We learned to practice together as a team, helping one another during the rough times. There were days when we felt like giving up, especially when it was really hot. But, we stuck with it,’’ said Siemann. The performance of junior John Ma¬ nia, named the team’s “Most Valuable Player,’’ was noteworthy. Mania placed highest on the team, 31st overall, at district finals. “Even though our season may appear to be unsuccessful, many of our runners rea¬ ched their personal goals. I feel that the many hours of practice were worth it,’’ commented Mania. First year coach Ms. Patti Hall also felt that personal goals were achieved. “All of the runners improved greatly from the beginning of the season to the end and they all reached their personal goals,’’ said Hall. Junior Lisa Van Pelt proved to be the only girl to finish the season as injuries forced junior Angela Ellis and sophomore Joan Eaton to bow out early in the season. Sometimes it was kind of difficult be¬ ing around all the guys all of the time, but I really had a good time. We didn’t do too well, but we had fun trying and running to¬ gether,“ said VanPelt.

Hill, behind the entire match, contin¬ ued to return her opponent’s precision shots with an air of intensity, never giving up. When the match was over, she shook the hand of the victorious Ebert, but she never stopped smiling. She knew she was a winner and represented a team of winners. “We didn’t do well in the tournament, but we really had a tough draw. The many successes of our season, however, showed that we were a team of winners, both on and off of the courts,” said Hill. Riding on the wings of consistency and unity, the Girls’ Tennis Team compiled a 9-2 record, the best in the history of the school. “The other teams in the district may have had one or two good players among their top six seeds, but we had six,” stated fifth-seed junior Whitney Bartlett. After early season losses to district competitors Menchville and Lafayette, the team rebounded to win its final seven matches, including 8-1 wins over Bethel, Phoebus, and Warwick. “In August, the girls didn’t believe they could win. Everyday I had to tell them how good they were and then I would make them repeat it to me,”said first year coach Lester Sapp. Sapp was faced with the task of uniting the younger players and transfer students with the team’s returning veterans. “In the beginning of the year, the at¬ mosphere was quiet at practice because the team members didn’t know each other well. But, as the year progressed, we became close. It was one of the closest teams I’ve ever been on,” said senior transfer Emily Magers, the team’s number one seed. Bartlett, Hill, senior Kelly White, ju¬ nior Becky Younger, Magers, and junior Eleanor Magers represented the team in the district tournament. Only Hill advanced to the semi-finals. Most Valuable Player Eleanor Magers and Bartlett posted the team’s best records at 9-1 and 8-1. “We always supported each other,” said Eleanor Magers. “We’d watch each other’s matches and cheer them on.” “Coach Sapp taught us what being on a team is all about,” said Hill.

The final group of players walked off the 18th green at the Langley-Eaglewood Golf Course and handed in their scoreboards. Many of the other players, who com¬ pleted their rounds earlier, began to file to¬ wards the scoreboard to read the results. Suddenly, a group clad in green and white shirts began to yell and give high-fives to each other. The golf team was tied with Hampton for first place. The Langley victory was to be the only first place finish for the team that never placed higher than third in its other district matches and sixth in the Regional tourna¬ ment. Senior Lewis Bond captured medalist honors at the tournament, scoring 80. His long, straight drives and the sinking of sev¬ eral crucial putts clinched the victory. Senior Kevin Koren shot an 89 at Lan¬ gley to finish tied for third on the team. He cited his mistakes as crucial to the outcome of the tournament. “It really hurt me when I hit my sec¬ ond shot into the water on the 18th hole,” Koren said. “All I had to do was hit the green, and we would take first by ourselves. I would say that was the worst shot I had all season.” Despite the team’s failure to overtake Lafayette and Denbigh for the top spot in final district standings, it was able to earn a spot in the Regional tournament. Bond, who finished second in the dis¬ trict with an 82 average, was the squad’s top player at the Regional tournament with an 84. Koren and sophomore Allen Denton also came through under pressure, both shooting in the 80’s.But, the team was un¬ able to find the magic of the Langley match at Regionals and ended up in sixth place.

We really felt like ■ we had accomplished something,” said se¬ nior lineman Jason Wallace. “We played tough and overcame our obstacle.” :: Williams, starring in both the offensive and defensive backfields, was in on the game’s key plays. Besides scoring both touchdowns and running for nearly 100 yards, he also broke up a crucial fourth and goal pass by Hampton’s DeRocke Croom with the Crabbers leading 3-0 in the fourth quarter. The win over Hampton was the high point of a successful season that surprised local critics who had picked the squad to finish last in the district. “I believe the season was a great experi¬ ence, not only for the seniors, but also for all the members of the team including the coaching staff,” commented senior line¬ backer Dwight “Psycho” Hollier. “We lost a couple of good games, but they were nothing compared to the big wins!” Hollier was the backbone of the “dog de¬ fense” that permitted only 10 touchdowns all season and held half of its opponents to under 100 yards rushing. For his efforts, he was named the district’s defensive player of the year and first team All-American. Senior Doxie Jordan, a starter on both sides of the ball, joined Hollier on the first team defensive unit. With Hollier and Jor¬ dan leading the way, the defense held Beth¬ el to 40 yards total offense and two first downs,allowed Menchville only 23 yards rushing in the second half, and shut out Granby while limiting the Comets to 77 yards total offense. Although the defense stole many of the headlines during the season, the offensive unit also put some numbers on the board. After a slow start, the offense began to come together, scoring in double figures in the first half against Petersburg, Fergu¬ son, Menchville, and Granby.

A major change in the offensive unit occurred after the Denbigh contest when senior running back Mike Cheatham broke his wrist. Jordan moved from quarterback to running back and Williams took over as signal-caller. Jordan went on to team with fellow se¬ nior back Jeff Glover to gain over 1,300 yards rushing in the season, while individu¬ ally gaining 190 yards versus Lafayette and 182 yards against Petersburg. He was named to the All-District First Team and Glover was named to the Second Team. “We went into the season this year be¬ hind. We were predicted to come in in the lower half of the standings. However, there was a lot of heart and enthusiasm, and a de¬ sire to win,” said Jordan. “Fortunately, we were able to have a successful season, but, more importantly. Coach Pauls built character in each of us that will last a lifetime,” he added. Inexperience and injuries plagued the Junior Varsity squad. Its 1-6-1 record was marked by a 28-0 shutout of Ferguson. The team tied Denbigh, 12-12, and battled with district rival Warwick to a close, 7-8, loss. “The win over Ferguson was exciting because it was a major upset. Everyone had picked them over us, but we shut them out. Our defense played well,” said sophomore Mike Ederer. Despite the team’s stellar performance against Ferguson, Head Coach Steve Snaidman was disappointed with the final record. “Sometimes, I’d like to forget about the season because of our disappointing over-all record,” said Snaidman.

The exuberance of the moment was to end only in frustration for the girls when the Lady Phantoms sank a 15 foot jumper at the buzzer to defeat the Lady Warriors, 53-51. Ending the season in fourth place was something that nobody expected from the team. Five of the girls’ nine losses were to teams who participated in the Eastern Re¬ gional, and four of the losses were to teams who participated in the State Tournament. ’ “We kept our heads up throughout the season and stuck together during the rough times. I always knew we had the ability to be a top-ranked team. Nobody respected us at first. They thought they could just run right over us, but we showed them that we were definitely a team to be reckoned with,” i said Co-Captain Dawn Pabst. Pabst, a sophomore, was one of the five starters and a top scorer on the senior domi- I nated team. i Hill, the team captain, was the team’s inspiration. Breaking records for scoring and free throws in the Fort Eustis Christmas Tournament, and scoring over 1,000 points in her high school career. Hill was named to the All-District and All-Peninsula First Teams. The second leading scorer in the District, Hill finished the season with a total of 465 points. “Breaking a thousand was a special moment because it was a great accomplish¬ ment and something that not too many players do,” said Hill. In his first year as coach, Mr. Mike McCormick drew praise from team mem¬ bers. “Coach McCormick was a great inspi¬ ration to the team. He made us realize what being a team was all about and helped us to see how beneficial working together was,” said first string player Toni Pardue. “I have never been prouder of a group of athletes,” said Coach McCormick. “They did things that nobody expected and ended up a team of winners.” “Hill was outstanding,” he added. “But, all the players gave the season 100 per cent.

With the scoreboard showing a green and white edge, 72-71, senior playmaker Ray Washington stepped up to the foul line to attempt two crucial free throws. As the Denbigh cheering section tried desperately to distract him, Washington looked calmly at the basket and sent both shots through the hoop, thus clinching the upset. Seconds later, the frustration of an entire season was forgotten in the glow of victory. “Beating Denbigh was great for the team’s morale,’’ said Washington. “Since they were the co-champions of the district, earning a victory over them helped to re¬ lieve some of the pain of losing so many close games during our regular season.” The upset of the Patriots, eventual state semi-finalist, also marked the second time the team beat one of the district’s co¬ champs. The initial upset was recorded over Lafayette, 56-54, and was the team’s first district win. “The win over Lafayette showed that we could play with the best,” said senior Er¬ nest Braxton. “I believe that game gave us new life. We lost a lot of close games near the end, but we can proudly say we gave it our all.” The team was unable to offset its continued on page 178 BOYS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL ■ FRONT ROW: Mi- Ray Washington, Ernest Braxton, John Dixon, Ian Brown, Freddy Jernigan, Russell Alves, Coach Re vis Conrad.

With a new coach and several inexpe¬ rienced players, the J.V.’s never got used to each other and won only two games. Players felt that, despite some close games, they could have done much better with more work. “I was dissatisfied with the season,” said sophomore Craig Leaphart. “We lost all of the close games because of careless¬ ness.” However, the squad did sweep both contests against Menchville. “It was a learning experience (beating Menchville) in the sense that our attitudes changed in a positive way,” said sophomore Travis Ward. While the team as a whole found it hard to succeed, individual performances proved that the team had talent. “The coach felt we had potential,” said Ward. “We knew our record could be bet¬ ter, but everyone wanted to be a superstar.

Wrestling 1 ough reaks Pool closes: loss to Rams hurts T he swimmers entered the Old Hampton Community Center with determination etched on their faces. Ahead of them was the most crucial meet of the season and, al¬ though they were not aware of it at the time, the last. The “Flying Fish” were about to clash with district rival Lafayette. The Rams were undefeated and they were on track to repeat as district champions. The meet began, and the two teams swam neck and neck for the rest of the afternoon. When the final gun sounded, the tired swimmers looked at the score: Lafayette 92, Kecoughtan 60. Although the meet was lost and ultimately counted double, the “Fish” were able to smile because they had given the district’s most power¬ ful team a good match. “Our loss to Lafayette wasn’t really some¬ thing to cry over. We actually did well consider¬ ing the fact that their team was much larger than ours. They have a wider area from which to draft swimmers,” explained senior Bridget Tellinger. The “Fish” enjoyed a huge, 112-33, early season victory over Phoebus and then celebrated their second victory over Hampton. “The Hampton meet was an extra-special win because we had been struggling with team, problems. A lot of us improved our times, and, well, it just felt good!” said junior Eleanor Mag- ers. “Before the Hampton meet, our coach had us channel our anger away from our problems and towards the meet. Needless to say, we beat Hampton easily,” added Tellinger. Although undefeated prior to the Lafayette meet, the swimmers faced obstacles all season. “The season was full of unexpected prob¬ lems that caused our spirit and enthusiasm to di¬ minish greatly,” said senior Kelly White. A general feeling of apathy was the major reason for the lack of team spirit. Swimmers also suffered from a lack of fan support. “The season was disappointing. The main feeling among the swimmers was one of indiffer¬ ence and there was internal conflict on the team,” said senior Robby Dzur. Another obstacle faced by the team was the breakdown of a pump at the Community Cen¬ ter’s swimming pool. The break, complicated by scheduling problems at the Hampton University pool, resulted in the cancellation of the final three meets of the season. In spite of all the tough breaks, there were some rewards for the Fish. “By sharing pools with other teams, we met a lot of people from Bethel and Phoebus. Swim¬ ming on the team enabled us to make a lot of new friends, along with giving us an opportunity to spend time with our old friends,” said Telling¬ er, a veteran swimmer for The “Flying Fish.” The swimmers ultimately developed a sense of team unity and pride in each member’s achievements. To compensate for the lack of fan support, they developed a team cheer, the “Whammy Hex,” that they used to startle the opposition. Assistant Coach David Oakes, a full-time substitute, helped to keep the team in shape. “WE JUST WANNA HA VE FUN!” Swim team mem i ber Jason Schwartz glances devilishly at the camera as he goofs off in the Hampton Comma j nity Center’s pool with teammate Mike Hatt.

Hurdler Dwight Holder attributed the poor showing to an inexperienced team. “A lot of the people who came out for track were pretty young, and had a lot to learn. Another reason we had a rough season was because so few people turned out to run track,” Holder explained. Veteran thinclad Holder, a senior, made a name for himself in the 300 intermediate hurdles, breaking a school record. With a time of 39.5 seconds. Holder broke the 41.1 second record set in 1981.

He was the only male member of the team to advance to State. “Doxie ready did wed this year,” said ju¬ nior Shaun Parker. “He helped a lot of the younger members during practices, along with working out himself,” he explained.

Sophomore Chantede Evans placed second in Regionals in the quarter mile relay, while junior Rana Wiggins placed fifth in the shot put and second in the discus throw.

According to sophomore Marioky Charris, the real strength of the team lay in its generally positive attitude and good sports¬ manship. “1 ready enjoyed meeting new members this year.

Hampton had prevented the team from winning the district the previous year, but this time things were different! Juniors Hugh Milteer and Todd Trimpert, along with senior Kevin Koren, posted singles wins as the team downed the Crabbers, 5- 4. “It was the biggest emotional high of the year,” said third-seed senior Preston Shoemaker. “We felt unbeatable!” They were Supermen, almost. The sea¬ son began with eight straight wins, includ¬ ing the victory over Hampton. Included in the streak were 9-0 shutouts over Bethel and Norview. “We had a great start, even though some of our victories were close. Each of us supported one another during the tough matches and our record proved it,” said top seed senior Mark Gibson. Attributing to the team’s success was the play of lower seeds in singles. Koren and Trimpert, numbers five and six respective¬ ly, posted district-leading 9-1 records. “This season was very big for me. I lost only one district match in singles, and when it came to doubles, my partner Preston Shoemaker and I were unstoppable,” said Koren. The team displayed confidence and unity during its winning streak. Then, di¬ saster struck! Menchville, a tough district competitor, halted the streak with a 6-3 vic¬ tory. “Losing to Menchville was tough be¬ cause it ended our hopes of having an unde¬ feated season that would have assured us of the district title, ” said Gibson. After the loss, the team rebounded with decisive wins over Lafayette, 9-0, and Denbigh, 8-1. When the regular season fi¬ nal standings were posted, the team found itself tied with Hampton and Menchville for District Champs. A playoff eliminated Menchville and, once again, the team had to play Hampton to determine who would advance to regional competition. The Crabbers won the match, 5-4, re¬ versing the score of the first match. All was not lost, however, as Gibson and Milteer ad¬ vanced to the Eastern Regional Tourna¬ ment.

After a long wait, Panibechi kick¬ ed the ball approximately four feet off of the ground and aimed for the left corner of the goal. Making the correct decision, Holleran dove toward the area that the ball was head¬ ed and grabbed it in midair to clinch the vic¬ tory. Realizing that they had just earned a berth in the Eastern Regional Tournament, the rest of the squad stormed the field and mobbed the goalie, knocking the pile over in the midst of the celebration. The victory over the Rams was the cli¬ max of a season that saw the team recover from the loss of several key players before the season started, and return from two stunning ties to capture the Peninsula Dis¬ trict title. “We overcame a lot of adversity dur¬ ing the season,” said senior Brad Crandall. HO-HUM! Mike Taco Re takes a deep breath during a halftime pep talk from Coach Alan Lind¬ sey, while teammate Randy Wildes gets a drink from a wafer bottle. “Losing two starters and a couple of key reserves before we played our first game was tough to overcome.

Because of the Rams’ unde¬ feated district record, the hooters had to beat them on their home field in order to force a playoff for the District Champion¬ ship. Playing its usual strong defense, the squad was able to make an early goal, by freshman Chad Rice, stand up for the entire game and, thus, put itself in position to win. Team members felt defense was the key. “Our defense sets up our offense,” said senior defender Mike “Taco” Re. “It’s our primary goal to shut down our opponents, because, if our offense has a bad day, we can stay close and still win.” One week later, the two teams met in a rematch. The game proved to be a show¬ case for Holleran, who scored his 10th shut¬ out of the season. LEA VE ME ALONE!

Captain Randy Wildes. | “Randy was a big help to the younger players,” said Re. “He set a standard for the team, both on and off the field, and made it easier for everybody to overcome any problems.” Unfortunately, the shootout scenario witnessed in the playoff match versus La¬ fayette came back to haunt the team when it reached its Regional opener against Beach District Champion Kempsville. Af¬ ter battling through a scoreless contest that consumed four overtimes, the Chiefs won the shootout, l-O. “We had another successful season de¬ spite the many adversities we faced, ” said senior Alan Hurt. “Overall, the team played very well and crushed its opponents, j as usual, to win the District Champion- j ship!” 188 Varsity Soccer UUUUGH!

Pitcher Tab Pabst prepares to make contact with the ball and collect another base hit in the 54 win over Menchville. Pabst was named to the All-Peninsula Team in May. Mjl iamond rama G uarding a 2-1 lead over Green Run in the Eastern Regional Baseball Championship, senior pitcher Tab Pabst prepared to pitch to Stallion’s batter Randy Ozmun in the 7th inning with two outs. As runners stood on all three bases, Pabst fired a fast ball toward the plate. Ozmun swung, grounding the ball to junior David Johnson, who beat baserunner R.J. Mealy to third base for the final out. Teammates charged the mound and mobbed Pabst as they cele¬ brated their Regional title. This “diamond drama” was an exam¬ ple of the excitement the Varsity Baseball Team created during the season. After a slow start, a 0-4 loss to Group AA State Fi¬ nalist York, the squad pulled together and went on an awesome winning streak, con¬ quering 12 of 13 opponents to close the reg¬ ular season. A key moment occurred in the loss, 2-1, to Denbigh, the team’s first dis¬ trict defeat. “After we lost to Denbigh, we could have fallen apart,” said senior John Dixon. “Fortunately, we worked harder and got on a roll!” What the batmen accomplished after that game was dramatic. They combined the excellent pitching of Pabst with an awe¬ some display of offense to crush opponents and clinch the district title with four games remaining. “After winning only three of our first five games. I’m not sure any of us thought we would end up with the kind of season we had,” said Coach Buddy Denton. “But, ju¬ nior pitcher Eric Williams, 6-0, and finding the right combinations, offensively and de¬ fensively, solidified the team. You could see and feel us getting better with every game,” explained Denton. Included in the streak was a 24-2 pum- meling of arch-rival Phoebus. Sophomore Steve Pabst and senior Ray Washington had five and four hits, as the team broke a school record for most runs in one game. The team also demonstrated an ability to rally from deficits, as shown by comebacks against Lafayette, 13-9, and Denbigh, 7-3. Meeting the Comets from Granby in the Eastern Regional Tournament, the squad capitalized on its opportunities and recorded a 6-1 victory behind the all- around effort of Pabst. “Our win over Green Run for the Re¬ gional Championship was probably our proudest moment,” said Denton. “Tab pit¬ ched one of his best games of the season, and the team played with desire and intensi¬ ty unlike any I have seen from a team in many years,” he added. In the final against Green Run, Tab Pabst shut down the Stallions from the mound. Steve Pabst made the key play of the game when he stole third base and scored the winning run on a throwing error in the fifth inning. Unfortunately, the squad’s comeback magic failed to emerge in the State Semi¬ final loss to Mills Godwin, 0-5, in Rich¬ mond, June 2. GOOD EYE!

They ended the season with a 10-6 record and third place in the district. “We started out really well, but in the second half of the season, we didn’t get any breaks,” said sophomore Steve Rawles. “The four game slump in the middle of the season really killed us!” “The team’s roster included four eighth graders, six freshmen, and six sopho¬ mores. Three of the four eighth graders were starters.” “Pitching was a killer. Mike Niemotka and Tommy Staton, eighth graders, helped the team throughout the season and they gained valuable experience,” said Coach John Greene. “In the second half of the season, the other teams were really hitting on our pitch¬ ers because they knew what they could throw,” explained Rawles. With a team batting average of over .300, the team scored an average of eight runs per game. “Our best game was against Phoebus when we won 23 to 1. We had a lot of fun that day,” said Rawles. Both J.V. teams proved that they were rising threats in the district and provided needed experience for the rising ninth grad¬ ers from the middle school and the varsity hopefuls in both soccer and baseball.

The Softball Team was the first team from the Peninsula to win a post-season game. the way.” The “golden girls” swamped the district, captured the Regional Crown, and advanced to the State final softball champi¬ onship game. It was “the pot at the end of the rainbow” for team Captain Christy Hill, who predicted the team’s success pre¬ season. “I knew before the season started that the team had the talent required to make it to the State finals. It was just a matter of bringing our talents together and execut¬ ing them consistently,” said Hill. Hill’s one run double in the third in¬ ning of the State semi-finals in Petersburg against Colonial Heights led the girls back home to Francis Asbury for the State Group AAA championship game. Emo¬ tions that peaked too soon, uncharacteristic errors, and an all together bad day all con¬ tributed to the 0-3 loss to two-time State Champion James Madison. Although their quest for the State championship was not realized, the girls gained respect from all of their opponents, humiliating some by scores like 28-1, Fer¬ guson, and 36-0, Denbigh. They were the first Peninsula District team to ever win the Eastern Regional Crown and compiled the best softball record in the school’s history. Named Athlete of the Year by the Daily Press, Hill led the team on offense with 52 runs batted in, nine homeruns, and 11 stolen bases. She had the highest batting average in the Eastern Region with a .569. Keying the defense was All-Peninsula Player of the Year, pitcher Yuko Inoue. Inoue won her first 14 decisions before los¬ ing in the state final. Second baseman Dawn Pabst, outfielder Becky Younger, and catcher Tonya Rose also earned All- Peninsula recognition. “I think that the team showed not only good athletic talent, but they also showed an intense desire to succeed. Because of that, we won some ball games that we might have lost talent-wise,” said Coach Stacey Garber. Defense was the backbone of the team that held the district record for fewest errors and never allowed an opponent to hit more than a double. The team gave up only 71 hits during the regular season. Offensively, the “golden girls” led the district in almost every category. They had the most number of homeruns, 24 and the most runs scored in a single game and throughout the season. In 21 games the girls scored 276 runs. “The desire and confidence were so deep that they never gave up. We may not have won the trophy, but these girls are champions,” said Garber. ,{ f f f r 1 j GIRLS ' SOFTBALL TEAM-FRONT ROW: Rebecca Stacey Garber.

Membership meant that they had ex¬ celled in academic areas and were now enjoying the “fruits of their labor.” For juniors and seniors who displayed outstanding character and leadership and had a 7.75 grade point average, membership in the National Honor Society was a coveted reward. “You need to be a well- rounded person and be ac¬ tive in the school and com¬ munity,” explained senior Christine Knight, president of the National Honor Soci¬ ety. “It was a very nice cere¬ mony. It made me feel as if all of my years of hard work finally paid off,” said junior Jay Gorski. Journalism students who excelled in some phase of publications and were rank¬ ed in the upper third of their class were initiated into Quill and Scroll, an Interna¬ tional Honor Society for High School Journalists, in April. “It is an honor to be in Quill and Scroll and what’s even better is you don’t have to attend a meeting every month. There is only one meeting a year, the induc¬ tion ceremony,” said senior Elaine Therianos.

We feel the effort is worth the strug¬ gle. ” Donna Engler On production All year long. Torch staffers struggled to raise money, solicit art and pho¬ tography, and to encourage students to submit articles. It was a difficult task to fi¬ nally reach the production stage of the literary maga¬ zine. “We had some prob¬ lems this year because we had new editors, a new ad¬ viser, and an almost totally new staff,” said sophomore Karl Otto. Despite the problems, staffers managed to attend the Virginia High School League’s Publication Work¬ shop in October and to spon¬ sor a Valentine’s Day carna¬ tion sale and song dedica¬ tions. The staff met every Monday afternoon to review submissions and decide which articles would be pub¬ lished. “The literary magazine is important because it gives students a chance to express their ideas and feelings through poetry, prose, and artwork,” said junior Donna Engler. “We feel the effort is worth the struggle,” she added. Another production group, the Radio and TV Club, was kept busy taping programs for Channel 29, the educational channel in Hampton. “Being there when Channel 29 news is filmed lets me encounter what goes on behind the scenes in a TV studio,” said sophomore Shenita Graves. “I think we’ve done a good job of covering school events and news,” said soph¬ omore Shannon Holder. Club members re¬ ceived a certificate from Channel 29 for “a job well done,” and those who par¬ ticipated felt that they gain¬ ed valuable experience. “Because I might want to major in communications in college, the TV club gave me plenty of good experi¬ ence,” said junior Valerie Spencer.

We did it over until we got it right,” she explained. Majorettes, cheerlead¬ ers, and flagtwirlers also went to summer camps to learn more about being spir¬ it leaders. “My time at camp was great because, as a new cheerleader, I was kind of nervous about all I had to learn,” said freshman Mar¬ garet Hamilton. When not practicing, members of spirit groups de¬ signed posters, planned a pep rally, and promoted spirit among students and faculty. “You have the respon¬ sibility of representing the school when you’re a cheer¬ leader,” said junior Frances Bennett. “The school counts on you to promote spirit ev¬ ery day, whether it’s a pep rally.

SC A Presi¬ dent Kim Chiaramida chats with Senior Basketball Home¬ coming attendant Jennifer Brown during halftime at the Homecoming game. SCA makes a difference eadership It was time for a change! Officers of the Stu¬ dent Cooperative Associa¬ tion sought improvements in the organization, and de¬ voted their efforts to affect¬ ing change. Primary on the list of changes was a community- related project. Instead of donating money to a general fund, members collected change from the student body and donated the amount to the the laid-off shipyard workers’ fund. “It was a project close to the heart,” said President Kim Chiaramida. “By col¬ lecting people’s spare change, we realized over $700 and donated that to the shipyard workers that were laid-off,” she explain¬ ed. “We raised money dif¬ ferently this year,” explain¬ ed SCA Sponsor Mr. Wil¬ liam Cawley. “We went through the student body in¬ stead of the school.” Another change in pro¬ cedure was the combined ICC and SCA representa¬ tives’ meetings. “We met the first Wednesday of the month. This brought about better continuity between the clubs and the student body,” explained Mr. Cawley. Sponsor of both home¬ coming activities, the SCA voted to elect a basketball Homecoming King for the first time in the school’s his¬ tory. In addition, the offi¬ cers held auditions for the position of morning an¬ nouncer on the Public Ad¬ dress System. Seniors Shel¬ ley Lawrence, Maria Re- duto, and James Smith were chosen. The SCA also spon¬ sored a Blood Drive , March 12 and 13, the Academics Award Assembly in May, all class elections, and a pep rally. “The success of any or¬ ganization is directly pro¬ portional to the leadership,” said Mr. Cawley. “This year’s officers have done a tremendous job to make this association the best in a long time,” he added. “The success of any organization is di¬ rectly proportional to the leadership.

Both VICA and DECA members participated in District and State Leader¬ ship Conferences. Twelve DECA students received awards in competition held at stores in Coliseum Mall, Western Auto, and Farm Fresh Giant, February 3. Senior Salina Fisher was named “Student-of-the- Year,” and junior Patricia Johnson was second runner- up. All three groups con¬ centrated on developing work-related skills and de¬ veloping leadership abili¬ ties. “I wanted to have a better outlook on what I’m going to be facing in the near future. That’s why I joined VICA,” said junior Carla Henderson. ‘ ' VICA is fun and it teaches you impor¬ tant things you will need to know in the future, especially when you are on your own and don’t ha ve a teacher there to help you every time you need it.” Drew Gentry ■ 1 A -I ■IjS- 1 � t ' s 1 . k 1 Hi THE ROYAL TREATMENT!

' ‘Nerves are impor¬ tant. The day you stop being nervous is the day you stop being a performer. Being a little scared gives you that extra touch. ” Dana Clark Anxiety! Senior James Smith moved slowly across the floor of the makeshift attic hiding place during a dress rehearsal of the fall production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Visibly nervous, Mr. Frank (Smith) reached up to douse the bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling and his shaking arm accidentally knocked over a small ceramic vase sitting on a table beneath it. Both cast and crew burst into gales of laughter. Nerves! They made our stomachs knot and our palms sweat, but to the Drama Club and other performance groups, nerves served to keep the performers alert and on their toes. “Nerves are important,” explained senior Dana Clark. “The day you stop being ner¬ vous is the day you stop being a performer. Being a little scared gives you that extra touch,” she added. “Nervousness brings out the best in performers,” agreed senior Mark Heaphy. “You get a really high energy level and it keeps you at your best,” he explained. Touch of Jade members readily agreed that “feeling butterflies” in the stomach and “cotton mouth” were es¬ sential for a perfect perform¬ ance. “If you’re not nervous, you’re overconfident,” said senior Cheri Hanby.“When you’re overconfident, you tend to make a lot more mis¬ takes.” “When you’re overconfi¬ dent, you’re more concerned with who is out in the audi¬ ence than how you’re going to look and perform,” said se¬ nior Leesa Smith. “Honestly, it’s great to be nervous. It makes you perform a lot bet¬ ter,” she explained. “It’s like sports,” said se¬ nior Russell Alves. “Being nervous makes you concen¬ trate and realize you have to work hard.” Although performers agreed that it was necessary to be nervous to a certain de¬ gree, they also stressed that it was important to keep emo¬ tions under control. “You can get so scared that you get really shakey and totally mess up,”said senior Chris Bennett. “The impor¬ tant thing is to know what you’re doing and try your best.” Since both drama pro¬ ductions were box office hits, evidently “anxiety” was the key to success.

It will also help me as I ma ture and grow. I believe that everyone should join FHA, or at least take Home Economics. ” Nisha Dowdell the future A rising economy, high¬ er taxes, politics, or paren- thood-what did the future hold? Members of Future Homemakers of America and Future Business Leaders of America believed they knew the answer. “I think it is beneficial being in FBLA, because it gives me advanced knowledge of what to expect as a business leader,” said sophomore Dawn Pabst. “FHA will make me more responsible about the upkeep of my household. It will also help me as 1 mature and grow. I believe that ev¬ eryone should join FHA, or at least take Home Economics,” said sophomore Nisha Dowd¬ ell. The FBLA purchased food for the Thanksgiving Basket project, contributed money and personal items to the Battered Women’s Shel¬ ter, and drew a name from the Angel Tree in Coliseum Mall for its Christmas project. “Being in FBLA is a great experience and lots of fun, because we participate in many activities,” said junior David Farlee. The FBLA also made contributions to Project Ask, an effort that supported re¬ search and provided help to families of children with can¬ cer. Future Homemakers of America observed FHA Week from Monday, Febru¬ ary 9 through Friday, Febru¬ ary 13. Each day featured a special activity. Monday was “Teacher Appreciation Day,” Tuesday featured cooking demonstrati ons, and Wednesday was the FHA Federation Rally, hos¬ ted by the KHS chapter. Thursday’s theme was “Getting in Shape,” as mem¬ bers conducted a body work¬ shop in the cafeteria after school. Friday, members so¬ cialized with pizza and drinks at Pizza Hut. “I thought FHA Week was fun and interesting. We learned many new things about cooking and nutrition, and we enjoyed all of the ac¬ tivities,” said junior Tonya Dicker. Both groups recognized teachers. The FBLA sent Valentines and the FHA served coffee and doughnuts. FUNDRAISING: FBLA Sponsor Mrs. Judith McPherson and FBLA President Menace Ran- gappa count candy sale money. BE MINE?

A small grin spread across senior Mike Larkin’s face as he hit his buzzer and replied, “Ribosomes.” The audience cheered in the background as the team won its first television round on “Tidewater Chal¬ lenge,” defeating Kellam High School, 420-210. The team was one of 22 teams to qualify for competition. It lost in second round compe¬ tition to Lafayette High School, 620-410, but fin¬ ished among the top 16 teams overall. “It looks really easy on TV, like on ‘Jeopardy.’ Ac¬ tually, half of it is knowing the information and half of it is being quick enough to hit the buzzer before the other guy,” said Larkin. Other competitive groups included the Foren¬ sics Club and the Chess Club. “Forensics is a very ed¬ ucational experience,” said junior Jennifer Draper. “It helps you to learn to talk without using the usual hand gestures and going ‘ummm’ all of the time,” she explained. Chess Club members sharpened their skills every day during lunch in Social Studies teacher Mr. Jerome Flower’s room. Not interest¬ ed in fierce competition, members joined the club for the love of the game. “I play chess because it’s something to do during lunch and it’s a challenge. It’s also better than eating school food,” said senior Andrew Heyson. For all three teams, us¬ ing brains, instead of brawn, in various competitions was a challenge and an exercise in staying mentally alert. - r- ANTICIPATION!

Stacie Neal and Esther Han review their opening remarks at the Model UN meet. with world issues. In April, the Debate Team sponsored the annual Issues Forum where it ar¬ gued the issue of immigra¬ tion in the U.S. “Debating is a really valuable skill that helps me in many of my classes. It taught me how to organize my thoughts,” said sopho¬ more Karl Otto. Model UN Team mem¬ bers acted as delegates, rep¬ resenting Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of South Yemen, at the Gar¬ field Conference in Novem¬ ber at ODU. “Model UN allows a student to meet new people while learning about a valu¬ able international organiza¬ tion,” said sophomore Gary Tiedemann. Youth and Government members attended a state¬ wide conference in Rich¬ mond where they played the roles of state representatives and senators. “By playing roles, we learn the details and intrica¬ cies of state government, ” said senior Ian Sobieski, president. SADD, Students A- gainst Drunk Driving, mem¬ bers had their first taste of community involvement by distributing pamphlets on Phoebus Day in October. In November, they wore arm- bands on Mayor’s D-Day in the “war on drugs” to protest substance abuse. “I handed out literature for SADD and it really hurt to see people laugh and throw it away,” said junior Amy Bassett. “Debating is a real¬ ly valuable skill that helps me in many of my classes.

Library Club mem¬ bers, besides performing es¬ sential tasks in the library, helped Merrimack Elemen¬ tary School replace some of the art work destroyed in a fire, participated in a Broth¬ erhood Festival in February, and earned money to con¬ tribute to the Dawnell Draper Memorial Fund. “With the help of the aides, the library runs smoothly,” said Head Li¬ brarian Ms. Nancy Spain. “I think the aides are often able to communicate with other students better than the library staff. They help a lot of people,” she ex¬ plained. TAG members estab¬ lished contact with transfer students and new students, making the adjustment to a new school easier. A cook- out before the Lafayette football game was the high¬ light of the year. Natural Helpers, revi¬ talized by a retreat at the George Washington Inn in Williamsburg in October, worked one-on-one with ele¬ mentary and high school students as peer counselors. “Natural Helpers has really helped me a great deal.

Yearbook and newspaper photographer Joe Justice takes pictures at a bas¬ ketball game. Curricula give birth to ew ideas What did science, soci¬ ology, art, and journalism have in common? Answer: Giving birth! All four curricula areas “gave birth” to clubs that offered students extracur¬ ricular activities. After an absence of six years, the Science Fair was revived by Science Club members in January. Over one hundred students pre¬ sented science projects at the fair. In addition, club members took a trip to Washington, D.C., partici¬ pated in the Tidewater Re¬ gional Science Fair, and at¬ tended the Virginia Junior Academy of Science State Convention at Old Domin¬ ion University. “The Science Club has made a real effort to have a greater effect on the school,” said senior Chris¬ tine Knight. Sociology Club mem¬ bers used knowledge gained in the classroom about hu¬ man behavior and society to augment the club’s activi¬ ties. They visited the elder¬ ly, and purchased clothes for a young boy as part of the Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel Project. They also visited Hampton University’s museum to study African and Ameri¬ can Indian art. “I enjoy being in the club because it gives me a chance to help do something with other people,” said ju¬ nior Janet Browning. The Art League adopt¬ ed “school beautification” as its project. Members painted Warrior Hall, foot¬ ball and basketball home¬ coming signs, and revital¬ ized the murals in the boys’ gym. “We didn’t have many members, but we had a lot of support for the things we did,” said senior Warren Berry. Formed second semes¬ ter, the Photography Club was organized to teach pho¬ tographers darkroom tech¬ niques. The “budding” photo-journalists trained to become photographers for the newspaper and the year¬ book. “Taking pictures for the publications is a big job,” said senior James Smith. “We need all the help we can get, and already some of the new photogra¬ phers are helping us out.” OKAY?

Key Club members Dee Dee Johnson and Susie Renn help build risers for Harbor Lights. Service to community is At 6 a.m. on a frosty November morning, 20 girls were awakened and whisked away, still clad in night¬ clothes, to a “Come as you are” Keyette initiation. “It was fun, but ex¬ tremely embarrassing. I can’t wait until next year when I get to do it to the new members,” said junior Dawn Casavant. If the Keyette’s initia¬ tion was embarrassing, it was nothing compared to the Key Club’s annual Homecoming ordeal. New members, wrapped in togas, were forced to pull the Key Club cart. “Wearing togas was not too bad in the parade,” said junior Eleanor Magers. “But, when we had to wear them to school, it took a lot of guts,” she added. Initiations were fun, but the real work of the clubs was service-oriented. Keyettes collected for the Salvation Army at Christ¬ mas time, helped with the Blood Drive, and assisted with Special Olympics. “I had the best time and learned so much from the kids,” said senior Lisa Vega. “It was a very worth¬ while and memorable expe¬ rience,” she explained. Key Clubbers sold bal¬ loons for the Arthritis Foun¬ dation, participated in the Blood Drive, and took first place in the Thanksgiving basket project. Other pro¬ jects were building new ris¬ ers for Harbor Lights Show Choir and working with the “Grow” children at Asbury Elementary School. “It was an enlightening experience for me as well as the others who participat¬ ed,” said senior Kelly White. For old and new mem¬ bers, the “key” in Key Club and Keyettes meant getting involved in community pro¬ jects and serving the school. RISE AND SHINE!

Lori Hilbert and Laura Brooks count Gummi Bear prof¬ its before class. Clubs help others through und raising “Fund raising is a bothersome activi¬ ty. But, anyway you look at it, fund rais¬ ing is an essential part of each club. Every time someone buys a Gummi Bear, a box of doughnuts, or any fund raising item, he or she helps the school and the com¬ munity. ” Karl Otto What did multicolored bears, Butterfingers, Christmas ornaments, brass items, and glazed dough¬ nuts have in common? Answer; They were all fund raisers for foreign lan¬ guage clubs. Gummi Bear mania swept through the halls in December when the Ger¬ man Club went on a selling frenzy and raised $2,500. “The Gummi Bears were the most popular fund raiser we had. They were the easiest to sell,” said sopho¬ more Karl Otto. The French Club sold brass items and Christmas ornaments rather than par¬ ticipate in the competitive candy sale. “The brass items and ornaments sold very well,” said sophomore Michele Benson. “We made about $300 and it helped the club,” she said. Spanish Club members stuck with the candy and Latin Club members sold doughnuts to raise funds. The clubs contributed to the Daily Press and KHS Christmas Funds, the Dawnell Draper Memorial Fund, the Salvation Army, and Mexico City earth¬ quake victims. In addition, the clubs established schol¬ arship funds and sponsored delegates to Boys’ and Girls’ State in June. “Fund raising is a both¬ ersome activity,” said Otto. “But, anyway you look at it, fund raising is an essential part of each club. Everytime someone buys a Gummi Bear, a box of doughnuts, or any fund raising item, he or she helps the sehool and the com¬ munity,” said Otto.

The sanctioned affair, an excep¬ tion to the rule, was the For¬ eign Language Luncheon for foreign language stu¬ dents, a highlight of Foreign Language Week. “The luncheon was a unique opportunity for the members of the different clubs to get together and compare notes on their fa¬ vorite international foods,” explained Spanish teacher Mrs. Nan Jordan. Members of the Ger¬ man Club prepared native German dishes for the first luncheon on Tuesday, while members of the other three clubs, French, Latin, and Spanish, prepared Wednes¬ day’s exotic feast. Some of the dishes were chili con queso, quiche, chicken cacciatore, wurst, sauerkraut, French pastries, and luscious German cakes. “The food was very tasty,” said Spanish Club member junior Denese Wil¬ kins. “The luncheon allowed the different clubs to come together and sample a vari¬ ety of foods.” “The Foreign Lan¬ guage Luncheon was a good experience,” said Latin Club member junior Victo¬ ria Kantsios. “1 got a chance to taste some dishes that I have never tried before.” For all club members, the luncheon was a “cultural experience” and a golden opportunity to “pig out” in a cultural way on an average school day. Language Clubs MMMMM! GOOD! Kelly White Luncheon with some dessert, and Christy Hill top off the Ger- Club members prepared and man Club ' s Foreign Language brought the food.

J.R. So¬ riano and Ann Schwartz chow down at the German Club lun¬ cheon, March 5. Language Clubs; 225 WE’RE HERE TO SERVE! Dr. Alan Davis, Su¬ perintendent Dr. Don Mussetman, and Dr. Jo Anne Fama serve breakfast to the teachers as a “thank-you” for their United Way contributions. W hat did local businesses, fac- ulty, fans, Boosters and parents have in common? They were forms of “L ive Aid” that made a year of “Fine Tun¬ ing” possible. Without the support, both fi¬ nancially and morally, that patrons of the sehool provided, many pro¬ grams of enrichment would not have been possible. Citizens of the com¬ munity volunteered their time to of Band Parents, helped raise over $ 12,500 to underwrite the cost of the band’s trip to Canada during Spring Break. The Hampton School System made a concentrated effort to recog¬ nize outstanding achievements and top administrators served breakfast to the faculty, December 2, in recog¬ nition of its contribution to the Pen¬ insula United Fund. “Fm proud to be associated with people who have proven to be so willing to contribute to the Pen- Local Support arrange field trips and chaperone them, and provided students with a multitude of experiences outside of the classroom. Loyal fans and local businesses bought tickets, purehased advertis¬ ing in publications and programs, and provided jobs for students. Groups like the Booster Club and Band Parents purchased new uni¬ forms and equipment, picked up the tab for banquets recognizing stu¬ dent achievements, and, in the case ninsula United Way Campaign,” said Principal Dennis O. Gillikin. “The faculty at Kecoughtan has historically given more than any other school. The effort that the fac¬ ulty made this year, and in years past, was a signal to the community that teachers pay baek society in many different ways,” said Mr. Gil¬ likin. “Fine Tuning” necessitated support in many areas and, as usual, the community gave “Live Aid.” 226 Local Support Divider LOYAL FANS! Band parent Mrs. Virginia Hill wears a painter’s hat, T-shirt, and letter sweater to show her support at the Homecoming game. “YOUR TOTAL IS ...“ Dale Moore op¬ erates the cash register at Ames, one of the local businesses that hired stu¬ dents and supported the school.

Graduate apprentices receive certificates from the Virginia Apprenticeship Council and Newport News Shipbuilding. After graduation, the company offers a number of programs for continued education and career development. Think about it.

Warren Berry and Harry Fanning repaint the partitions In the Boys’ Gym. The facelift was one of the Art League’s beautification projects. “R the continuing cool weather and rainy days in April, the year of “Fine Tuning” ap¬ proached a harmonious end as classes, clubs, teams, and organizations pulled together to enjoy their success. Spring sports created enthusiasm as teams swept the district and headed towards District championships. Softball, soccer, and tennis were undefeated prior to Spring Break, and baseball was 4-1 in districts. The Debate Team made an excellent showing at Districts when the Affirmative Team took First Place and the Negative Team placed second. Juniors celebrated the arrival of class rings at the traditional Ring Dance, March 21, turning them 88 times to signify their year of graduation. Hard work began to pay off for juniors as 28 delegates were chosen to at¬ tend Boys’ and Girls’ State in June. In a display of school pride, the Art League gave the partitions in the gym a face¬ lift and the SCA planted shrubs in an effort to beautify the grounds. “Fine Tuning” in academics paid off when underclassmen took two days of SRA’s in April without any problems. Administra¬ tors were pleased with the results of “Fine Tuning” instruction. Publication staffs got a boost when they were recognized by the Hampton School Board, April 1, for excellence. The 1986 Tomahawk received an All-Southern Award from Southern Interscholastic Press Associa¬ tion and a Medalist Award from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Harbor Lights returned triumphant from the North Carolina Show Choir Invita¬ tional with the trophy for “Best Vocal Sound.” Honor societies initiated new members in April and May, and scholarships and col¬ lege acceptances began to materialize for se¬ niors.

The last few weeks of school sped by, highlighted by awe¬ some spring sports rec¬ ords, Class Night, Bac- calaureate, final exams, and graduation practices. Five teams. Boys’ Tennis, Varsity and Junior Varsity Soccer, Varsity Baseball, and Girls’ Softball, were District or Co-Dis¬ trict Champions. “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” was a popular refrain as the Varsity Baseball and Girls’ Softball teams captured Regional Crowns and advanced to State competition. Although the boys lost in the semi-finals, the girls, undefeated, hosted James Madison of Vienna, Virginia, June 5, officially designat¬ ed Green and White Day. At an assembly, sixth period.

Over 1,000 people crowded the ball park at Francis Asbury to support the first Penin¬ sula softball team in contention for a State Title. Although the loss, 0-3, to James Madi¬ son was a blow.

Head Guidance Counseior Mrs. Jane Price sorts through records and papers prior to her retirement in June. - Guidance head retires After 19 years of helping students plan their futures, Head Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Jane Price, retired at the close of the school year. Mrs. Price began her teaching career in high school as a substitute teacher. She attended Brevard Junior College and High Point College in North Carolina and fin¬ ished her undergraduate work at the Col¬ lege of William and Mary. Assuming the position of Director of Guidance at Kecoughtan in 1968, Mrs. Price enjoyed the opportunity to meet new people and work with students. “The most important part of my job was meeting different people from all walks of life,” said Mrs. Price. “I think that’s very important. I touch base with so many indi¬ viduals.” For Mrs. Price, the most gratifying as¬ pect of counseling was working with the stu¬ dents. “The students have been a joy,” she said. “They can be frustrating at times, but they have always been a joy to work with,” she explained. “Assume responsibility for everything you do and always remember that every¬ thing is possible with a good education,” ad¬ vised Mrs. Price. Closing Final notes Graduation: A beginning G loomy skies and high humidity could not dampen spirits as se¬ niors poured into the Coliseum, June 13, for the final notes of their high school careers. The strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” filled the hall as 356 graduates filed in to hear class speakers and receive their diplomas. “There were times I felt like jumping for joy because it was finally over, and there were times when I really felt nostalgic,” said senior Jean Evans. The count down began on Friday when the final bell rang. Students raced out of the building to head for the beaches, family vaca¬ tions, or job hunting. “I plan on spending my summer boogie boarding at Virginia Beach,” said junior Sean Pomeroy. “I love the summer!” For others, summer meant summer school, workshops. Boys’ and Girls’ State, or camp. Striving for excellence and “Fine Tun¬ ing” skills and instruction were continuous processes. A new freshman class would enter in the fall and already rumors were rife of a “self study.” Once again, graduation was a beginning. TUNING UP! TJ.
