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.

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!
