Junior Varsity Cheerleader Margaret Hamilton kicks off school spirit at the first pep rally, October 16. The start of the ’87-’88 school year marked 25 years of Warrior pride and a pursuit of excellence by students. FREE RIDE! Undaunted by his broken leg and cum¬ bersome crutches, David Swift takes the easy way out by catching a ride to class on a skateboard pushed by his aood friend, Adrian Johnson. 25-ye in4-o£ t fWi e were still “Alive and Kicking!” Af¬ ter 25 years in ex¬ istence, the same enthusiasm, the same desire to excel still inspired the Warriors in their academic and extra-cur¬ ricular pursuits. Few students realized. Even fewer really cared. Everybody was too busy thinking about the year ahead to be concerned with years past. Freshmen saw it as a year of many firsts, while sen¬ iors saw it as a year of lasts. It was a year of political scandals, a year of economic continued on page 4 ■ ' - DRESSED TO KILL! O?

After 25 years, 1963-1988, only the halls and walls re¬ mained unchanged. “I’m glad the style of cloth¬ ing has changed. I can’t possibly see how kids thought they look¬ ed good in plaids, bright colors, bell bottoms, and Fros,” said ju¬ nior Lonnie Young. From crew cuts to flat tops and Mohawks, from “I Love Lucy” to “Family Ties,” from glassless glasses to contact lenses, from the Beatles to the Beastie Boys, and from Keds to Reeboks, everything had changed except the pride in be¬ ing a Warrior and the desire to strive for excellence that kept us “Alive and Kicking.” TIME OUT!

Students spend free time ' KICKING ' W hen books were fi¬ nally closed, home¬ work finished and forgotten, it was time to live it up! Starting with a flurry of festi¬ vals and the celebration of the 200th birthday of the Constitu¬ tion, the year flew by marked by a series of traditional events. From Homecoming to Grad¬ uation, from Bay Days to Senior Skip, from sleepless nights wai¬ ting to buy concert tickets to all- nighters like the Ring Dance and Prom, students found life was never dull. Hours away from school were eaten up by a wide variety of ac¬ tivities. Whether it was a private get together with just a few friends, or a wild party with all of Hampton under one roof, stu¬ dents had a good time. “On weekends, my friends and I spent most of the time just ‘kicking’ around. When there wasn’t a party, we would play ‘Pictionary,’ or just hang out with friends. Even when it seemed that there was nothing to do, we had a great time because we were to¬ gether,” said senior Victoria Kantsios. Whether just “kicking around” or “living it up” on a night of party hopping, student life was “Alive and Kicking!” Student Life Divider 4 The lazy, hazy days of summer precede chooltime B arely opening your eyes, so as not to let in too much sunlight, you glance at your obnoxious buzzing alarm clock. “It’s 6:30 a.m.,” you think, dis¬ gustedly. You smack the snooze alarm and roll back over into your huddled mass of bedsheets, comfort¬ ably formed into a private nest. “If only it was summer again, I’d lay in bed until noon,” you think. Those were the days! The days when suntans and summer jobs were your only concerns. The days when your daily schedule consisted of spending a long hard day “catching rays” and sitting around watching re-runs of “Leave it to Beaver.” “I had a blast this summer! Nine of my friends and I went to Nags Head for a week. It was a killer!” said senior Kelli Keeter. While some students were out working on their tan lines, others were stuck inside behind a counter working at a summer job. “It was rough sacrificing some of my free time to work this summer, but the money I made made it all worthwhile,” said junior Mike Annis. And, then there were those who TAKE FIVE!

From June to August, most stu¬ dents enjoyed a break from school, but there were those unlucky ones who spent their break in summer school. “Summer school was an inter¬ esting experience. I hope I never have to go through it again. I would not recommend it to anyone,” stated senior Ron Reddy. For some rising seniors, the first week of summer break found them attending Virginia Boys’ and Girls’ State as delegates. “At Girls’ State we all had to wear beanies to separate us as Na¬ tionalists or Federalists. The whole week was like a continuous pep rally. We cheered everywhere we went. I’m really glad I went, but I’d never do it again,” said senior Eleanor Mag- ers. “Everywhere we went, we mar¬ ched and sweated,” said senior Ralph Butler. “It was too hot!” As the dog days of August drew to a close, many students attended WORKING HARD!

I went to Richmond and attended a gymnastics camp,” said senior Kathy Routten. “We, Joe and I, had a great time at VCU’s Editors’ Workshop,” said senior Kristy Alligood. “We learned a lot and met some new people. Now, we’re ready to start the paper again,” she explained. August 10 marked the begin¬ ning of practice for football players, as fall sports got underway, despite the heat. The band, majorettes, flag twirlers, and cheerleaders also began practice for fall events. Summer was drawing to a close as janitors pre¬ pared the building for the onslaught of students expected back on Sep¬ tember 8. “The last few weeks of summer were very pressing for me. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of graduation-nine months away,” said senior Whitney Bartlett. Finally, it was time to go back to days filled with pop quizzes, homework, drills, boring lectures, and cafeteria food. It was time to get started again on a new year. Summer was over. It was schooltime! 4 SAVAGE TANS! Dustin Ruehle, Beth Witherspoon, and Lori Hilbert spend a day working on their tan lines at a “hot spot” in Virginia Beach. ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

Cheerleader Christy Vaisvil ponders her next move while juniors wait for the cheering to begin. SENIOR SPIRIT: The Senior Class whoops it up with a big display of spirit dur¬ ing the fall pep rally, October 16. Seniors planned for the event all summer. Spirit days psyche classes for first T he roar of the crowd echoed throughout the empty hallways as stu¬ dents elbowed their way to the front of the gym. The atmo¬ sphere was saturated with spirit and energy as the much anticipated day finally arrived. The first pep rally of the year was about to begin. “We all had waited so long for this pep rally and everyone was de¬ termined to make it the best ever. This year was great because, as a se¬ nior, I definitely had something to be spirited about,” said senior Amy Bassett. In preparation for the Home¬ coming game and parade scheduled for Friday night, October 9, the pep rally was the grand finale to Spirit Week. Each day of the week leading up to Friday’s pep rally, students were challenged to show their spirit by wearing different apparel to fit in with specific themes. College Day, Toga Day, and Warrior Day all played their part in getting students psyched for the big game. “I liked Toga Day because this is my first year in Latin and I am very interested in Ancient Greece and Rome. Setting aside a day to wear togas to school, even though the administration was worried about what we would wear underneath, was a good idea. Students had a lot of fun with it,” said junior Tiffany Brewton. The FHA kept track of class spirit on giant thermometers in the cafeteria. Based on the amount of participation each day, the seniors were proclaimed the “Most Spirit¬ ed,” leading the other classes by a wide margin. During the pep rally, signs, ban¬ ners, and chants were exchanged from each section of the gym as classes challenged each other by yell¬ ing, dancing, and singing, during the spirit demonstrations. “I liked Spirit Week this year. It was different. I enjoy seeing my peers display their spirit. I knew they would because we had some good activities this year,” said junior John Mania. Going through their routines for the first time in front of the student body, the cheerleaders performed with style. Their high-kicking and energetic leaps stirred the crowd as students got into the spirit of the day. Members of the football team and the Girls’ Tennis Team were in¬ troduced and the Homecoming Court and escorts paraded out on the gym floor when their names were called. More organized than the under¬ classmen, seniors and juniors com¬ peted fiercely, screaming and yelling at each other from opposite sides of the gym. Freshmen, on the other hand, were bewildered by the noise and antics at their first pep rally. “They (the freshmen) were afraid to get up and yell. They just sat there even though the J. V. cheer¬ leaders did their best to get them go¬ ing,” said senior Frances Bennett. The 1987 Football Homecoming pep rally was one to remember. “I love Homecoming pep rallies and spirit weeks. I only wish we had them more often,” said senior Tim Mounger. ALL SMILES! J.V. Cheerleader Adrienne Brown captivates the crowd with her high- stepping chant “I heard it through the grapevine. ” NOW IS THAT NICE? Juniors have a lit¬ tle fun with the freshmen at the Homecom¬ ing pep rally on the last day of Spirit Week, October 12-16. Homecoming Parade pumps up Warrior nthusiasm T wo bands-one green and one white-cars with pret¬ ty Homecoming atten¬ dants, a cavalcade of floats covered with teddy bears, cheerleaders, flagtwirlers, and repre¬ sentatives of school organizations wound their way down Settlers Landing Road to Victoria Boulevard and Darling Stadium in the annual Homecoming Parade, October 16. “Plans began about 30 days be¬ fore the parade. Notices were sent to each club sponsor, then sent back to the SCA, explaining to us what type of unit the club would develop,” ex¬ plained Mr. William Cawley, spon¬ sor of the SCA. “We then made up the line-up, according to variety, size, and class,” he added. “Good organization made the parade a success.” Those who participated in the parade agreed. “The parade was fun. It showed that KHS really had some spirit. I think the SCA did a good job of orga¬ nizing the parade,” said senior Cathy Thomas. The theme “String up the Bruins, executed by tying up giant Teddy Bears and small ones,” won First Place in the float competition for the juniors. “King Hugh” and the Key Club initiates, clad in diapers and bibs and occasionally obeying a royal command to roll on the street, won First Place for Club Units. Even the band indulged in com¬ petition, keeping in the spirit of the parade. The Green Band, led by Drum Major Tier Thomas, and the White Band, led by Drum Majors Lewis Watson and Tom Smith, com¬ peted with each other for First Place honors. The White Band emerged victorious. “One reason the parade was so successful was because of the num¬ ber of clubs we had participating this year,” said Mr. Cawley. Chilly weather the weekend of Homecoming caused participants to shiver and huddle together for warmth while they were waiting to begin. “It was freezing! I still enjoyed myself though. I had never been in a parade before, and even though it was cold, that Warrior spirit flowed through my veins and warmed me up,” said junior Michele Thompson, who rode on the winning float. For seniors, their last Home¬ coming Parade was a night to re¬ member. “I enjoyed being a part of the parade,” said senior Tony Robert¬ son. “Since it was my senior year, I thought that I should become more active, so I helped with the Drama Club’s unit, and it was fun,” he added. There was nothing like a parade! CUT IT HERE! Members of the Key Club, Kristy Alligood, Stacie Neal, Saqib Talibi, and Janet Browning work together to com¬ plete their winning unit in the parade.

Tension mounted as the band, flagtwirlers, majorettes, and ROTC cadets took their places on the field for the traditional crowning of the queen and presentation of the Homecoming court. The nine attendants and their escorts lined up at the far end of the football field. As each attendant was introduced, she walked slowly up the field toward the home side where they stood in front of the applauding crowd. First, were Freshmen atten¬ dants Shanna Bailey and Lori Beli- har followed by Sophomore atten¬ dants Linda O’Keefe and Nikki “THE LADY IN RED!” Sophomore Class attendant Linda O’Keefe, escorted by senior Art Brighton, walks under the NJROTC arch of swords. Schonert. Junior attendants were Shawn Tarver and Leigh Harrison. Finally, the three senior attendants, one of whom would be the queen, were introduced. They were Christal Chandler, Crystal Pardue, and Kelli Keeter. “I was so nervous. I was shaking. Hopefully, no one noticed how scared I was,” said Keeter. After a few tense moments and considerable suspense, the name of the 1987 Homecoming Queen was announced. It was senior Kelli Keet¬ er. “I was so surprised and hon¬ ored. It felt good to know that my classmates thought that much of me. I really had no idea that I would be chosen,” said Keeter. Attendants were nominated by students in each class and a final bal¬ loting was done individually by each of the four grades. “I was honored to represent my class as a Homecoming attendant. It ■ 1 T r % ® . was an exciting experience that I will never forget,” said junior Shawn Tarver. Senior Class President Thad Simerly crowned the queen during halftime and the Student Coopera¬ tive Association presented her a bou¬ quet of roses. Other halftime activities includ¬ ed a performance by the band, twirl¬ ing with fire by the majorettes, and the announcement of class and club competition winners in the Home¬ coming parade. In the locker room, tension mounted as the team, ahead 10-6 at the half, anticipated the second half of action. “During halftime in the locker room, everyone was tense. We were happy because we were winning, but we still felt that we could do better. I think that during the second half of the game, we didn’t work together as a team,” said junior Steve Mad¬ dux. WARRIOR DISMAY! Senior nose guard Mark Banks watches the action on the field with dismay. The Warriors lost the game, 24- 20, to the Bethel Bruins. GO GET ’EM!

Stonewashed jeans are ' hottest ' item T hey came in all sizes, shades, and styles. They “gave birth” to new trends and designs. They were seen everywhere and were worn by all of the “right people.” They were the hottest item on the market and dominated the fashion scene. They were called “stonewashed den¬ ims.” “When you walked down the hall during lunch or between classes, you couldn’t avoid the stonewashed invasion,” said sophomore Larry Trent. “If a lot of people were wearing it, it was considered fashionable, and a lot of people were wearing stone¬ washed,” said senior Selby Tardo.

Although some girls still pre¬ ferred the long skirts that barely re¬ vealed an ankle, others took to the revival of the mini and bared not only ankles but also thighs. “This was definitely a miniskirt season,” said senior Tracy Page. Leather crocodile textured shoes, belts, and purses were also novel fashion trends. “I wear my crocodile shoes with jeans, skirts, and almost every¬ thing,” said senior Susan Renn. “Leather shoes and a matching belt make an outfit. Without them, the outfit looks ‘out of it,” said Tardo. Ralph Lauren’s “Polo” collec¬ tion presented a wide variety of shirts, sweaters, jackets, and even thermal underwear. The trade mark, a horse and rider, triggered a stam¬ pede in buying. “My closet is half Polo, half air,” said senior Tim Wood. Fashion-conscious students also devised new hairdos. Ranging from frizzy and busy to bald, heads If topped off the total fashion state¬ ment made by an individual. “Haircuts, to me, express an in¬ dividual’s personality, point of view, and their whole outlook on life,” said freshman Erin Bender. WHERE DID IT ALL GO? Taking hair styles to an extreme, John Whelan sports the totally bald look. Individuals used hair to make a personal statement. JEANS, JEANS, JEANS!

Drenching rain may have caused Bay Days’ fans to be a little soggy, but it did not affect the suc¬ cess of the annual celebration of the Bay, September 11-13. The event drew hundreds of students who braved the rain and the crowds to scream and sing along with Bruce Hornsby in his two-hour concert, gorge on a wide variety of food, play games, and watch fire¬ works explode over the Hampton River. wish I’d gotten there sooner,” said senior Dawn Casavant. “I thought it was neat to watch fireworks in the rain. It sounds really awful, but it was actually fun getting soaking wet,” said junior Christy Vaisvil. Students joined the nation in observing the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitu¬ tion, September 17. Government teachers Mr. William Cawley and Mr. Revis Conrad took seniors to a city-wide rally in honor of the Con¬ stitution.

Finally, the band, flag twirlers, and majorettes joined with area resi¬ dents to celebrate Phoebus Days. The annual three-day event featured races, tournaments, a gala parade, the crowning of Miss Phoebus, and a festive ball. Area high school bands and ROTC units took part in the parade, Saturday morning. The Kecoughtan band, under the direction of Mr. Paul Ferguson, won the First Place trophy. “I was proud to be a part of the band.” said Majorette Laura Brooks. JOIN THE CROWD!

Personal Sports 4 Individual sports require dedication Pure W hether it was sailing, dancing, skiing, skat¬ ing, or trick riding, stu¬ dents participated in individual sports for the pure joy of it. Managing to combine school ac¬ tivities and homewor k, and still devote many hours to practice, amateur ath¬ letes were dedicated to achieving per¬ fection. Junior Ethan Lee, a sailor for four and half years, spent an hour every day and weekends working on his sailing technique. A competitive racer for three years, he has never placed lower than fifth in a race. joy! “When I lived in Bermuda, I start¬ ed sailing. There’s not much to do there, but it has its share of water. So, one day I took sailing lessons and I was hooked,” said Lee. “Sailing’s just like anything else,” explained Lee. “It all depends on what you put into it. All the practicing I’ve done has paid off.” Dancing was sophomore Emily Keith’s passion. A “ballerina-in-train- ing,” Keith has studied ballet for 12 years and spends at least 10 hours a week practicing. She was a member of the Hampton Roads Civic Ballet. “Dancing means discipline. If you don’t have this, you will never suc¬ ceed,” said Keith. Junior Julie Wright competed as an artistic skater and spent 15 hours a week practicing, including three hours of private lessons. She attended a training school for skaters in Ger¬ many in 1986. “Roller skating requires determination. I have to keep reaching for my goal and work diligently. It’s not all fun and games,” said Wright. Another winner in his sport was junior Richie Denzler, who ranked fourth in the state in Hare Scrambling, a form of motorcycle racing. WHOOSH!

Personal Sports Monsters abound as students dress for Halloween S ome students snickered! Many laughed out loud at the odd characters walking through the halls. The charac¬ ters did not care, however. They were out to prove something. It was time, perhaps, to show that they were still kids at heart. Or, per¬ haps they just wanted to have some fun. Whatever the reason, on Friday, October 30, inhibitions were left at home for a day as students created original costumes for a Halloween con¬ test. The Student Cooperative Associ¬ ation and the Tomahawk co-spon¬ sored the contest. For a day, the halls were filled with more than ordinary high school students. Several striking women were roaming the corridors that no one had ever seen before. There were big cats Halloween “HOW DO I LOOK?” Stephanie Pender- graft asks for approval as she leaves her first period for the costume judging. and even larger mice. A Hershey’s Kiss and some California Raisins accompa¬ nied the standard monsters, ghouls, and ghosts to class. “I was really happy with the turn¬ out. It showed a lot of school spirit,” said SCA President Erika Allen. “Spirit” was the key word for the day as each first period class selected its own best dressed to go to the cafete¬ ria for final judging. Four winners, one from each class, were chosen and re¬ ceived a free copy of the 1988 Toma¬ hawk as their prize. The winners were senior Donna Stanworth, dressed as a fat lady; junior Vivian Page, a golden cat; sophomore Tommy Burns, impersonating a wom¬ an; and freshman Mike Behan, dressed as Pee Wee Herman. In addition, the Junior Class received special recogni¬ tion for its effort in the contest. “The entire Junior Class did a great job. Their costumes were the best and they had the most people dressed up,” said Allen. “I’ve always known that our class has a lot of spirit. We won the Home¬ coming float competition and now we’re still doing the best,” said Junior Class secretary Wendy Walter. Some couples wore complementa¬ ry costumes and one trio, Lisa Lowrie, Shannon Cochran, and Karen Deavers dressed as California Raisins. “My girlfriend was a nun and I was a monk. It seemed like the right combination,” said sophomore Mark Nucup. THE NEW MICKEY MOUSE CLUB!

Kenneth Hodges takes a break from haulii a wheel barrel at Willow Oaks Farm. Mai students preferred outdoor jobs. arn money W ith a smile on his face, senior Tim Watts closed the trunk of the car and waited for his tip. Watts, one of many students who took a part-time job to earn money for his senior expenses, worked as a grocery bagger at the Langley Air Force Base Commis¬ sary. “Bagging at the commissary is one of the ultimate jobs for teens. You go to work when you want, leave when you want to, and make a mini¬ mum of $5 an hour,” explained Watts. Students’ part-time jobs not only put some cash in their pockets, but also broadened their experience and gave them opportunities to meet new people. “I meet all kinds of different people everytime I go in to work. I love it because that makes my job al¬ ways exciting,” said senior Wendy Tate. “I usually take packages from the stock room down to the store,” explained junior Steve Rawles, a J.C. Penney stockrunner. “I enjoy meet¬ ing and working with the other em¬ ployees,” he added. Forty-three per cent of students questioned in a survey had jobs. Thirty-three per cent of those stu¬ dents worked in fast food restau¬ rants, while 23 per cent had outdoor jobs. “McDonald’s is a great place to work,” said senior Michele Baxter. “The people I work with are friendly and considerate and there’s always something happening!” “I enjoy working on the farm be¬ cause it offers a variety of experi¬ ences, ranging from landscaping to working with animals,” said senior Tim Wood. Other students worked in de¬ partment stores, supermarkets, beauty salons, and offices. Reasons for working were varied, but most students gave up their afternoons, evenings, and weekends to earn money. “I use my money for car pay¬ ments, clothes, and concert tickets,” said senior Mike Deluzio. “I save my money for college,” said senior Mandy McKinley. “I pay for my car,” said senior Trudi Jordan. “EVERYTHING LOOKS O.K.!” Tim Wood and David Bon day check out the rid¬ ing lawnmower before getting to work at Willow Oaks Farm on Howe Road. 26 Jobs “THIS IS THICK!” Denese Wilkins stirs a kettle of fudge at Busch Garden’s fudgery.

Other organizations donated money, adopted a family for Christ¬ mas, or bought presents for the Angel Tree in Coliseum Mall. The National Honor Society assisted with Toys for Tots. Students got into the spirit of giving along with planning their own special activities and trips during the holiday. “It really feels good to do some¬ thing for someone else and it gives you a different feeling about the holiday season. It truly is better to give than to receive,” said sophomore Lisa Low- rie. BOOM! BOOM! The Marching Band pa¬ rades down Mercury Boulevard in the annu¬ al Hampton Christmas Parade, November 14.

Holidays Snow cancels game, dampens spirits for R eturning from the Christ¬ mas holidays, students immediately plunged into observing Basketball Homecoming Spirit Week and making plans for the weekend ahead. But, it was not to be. Mother Nature had oth¬ er plans. Thursday, January 7, the bleak winter skies opened up and dumped inches of snow on the Peninsula. As a result, schools were closed on Friday and the Homecoming game and dance were put on hold. For the second year in a row, students were cheated out of a pep rally. “It was really disappointing after all of the plans that were made for the pep rally and the dance,” said junior Yuriko Lippincott. Juniors were particularly upset since all of the arrangements for the dance had to be redone. “It was hard to reorganize for the dance all over again. We had to resche¬ dule the DJ, redo posters, and try to rekindle spirit,” said Junior Class Sponsor Mrs. Polly Butler. Rescheduled for Friday, January 29, the game was played against Bethel High School the last night of exams. Since it was exam week, students had to forego a second Spirit Week and the traditional pep rally. The SCA did, however, carry through with the presentation of the court and the announcement of a King and Queen. Students chose the King by a money vote and the Queen was elected by her classmates.

Other members of the Homecom¬ ing Court were seniors Angela Ellis and Lynn McKnight, juniors Charlene Walker and Tonya Goard, sophomores Margaret Hamilton and Amy Obeck, and freshmen Shelly Destromp and Amy Fullen. Members of the King’s court were senior James Jones, sopho¬ more Edward Ramey, and freshman David Caggiano.

' Baby I ' m A Star ' theme of pageant A fter weeks of preparation, rehearsals, and anticipa¬ tion, the night of March 23 finally arrived. The stage was covered with stars as Miss KHS contestants opened the pag¬ eant with the theme song, “Baby I’m A Star,” choreographed by senior Nikki Robinson. ‘“Baby I’m A Star’ was a great theme for the pageant and the girls performed with perfection,” said ju¬ nior Cheryl Evans. “I was nervous until the prelimi¬ naries were over. On pageant night, I was out to have a good time. The opening number was fun,” said se¬ nior contestant Karen Watts. After a welcome from senior an¬ nouncer Tamara Bunch, Miss KHS 1987, senior Cathy Thomas, was in¬ troduced. Thomas performed for the contestants and the audience. All of the contestants partici¬ pated in the Casual Wear Presenta¬ tion. Styles ranged from junior Viv¬ ian Page’s Mexican look to senior Trudi Jordan’s “off-the-boat” look. Following the Casual Wear event, senior John Darnell intro¬ duced the finalists. They were soph¬ omore Konyika Robinson, senior Vanessa Hill, senior Karen Watts, and junior Vivian Page. “When the finalists were an¬ nounced, I felt like I had made it to my goal and accomplished some¬ thing. The next few minutes would simply be a process of elimination by the judges. Everyone won that pag¬ eant!” said Watts. The four finalists performed in the talent section of the Pageant. Acts ranged from singing and danc¬ ing to dramatic interpretation. “The judges had a tough deci¬ sion to make in the talent part of the Pageant. All of the finalists were ex¬ cellent,” said senior Selby Tardo. Next on the program, contes¬ tants modeled their formal gowns. “My favorite dress in the For¬ mal Wear Presentation was Vivian Page’s mauve, antique gown. It was gorgeous!” said Tardo. Physics teacher Mr. John Quinn conducted the question and answer section of the Pageant, asking each of the finalists individual questions. While the judges tallied their scores, Harbor Lights Show Choir enter¬ tained the audience. Finally, the big moment arrived! The announcement of Miss KHS 1988, Robinson, was followed by her crowning by Miss KHS 1987, Tho¬ mas. “I entered to have a good time and praise my God. When I won, I was in total awe! I thank God more than anyone,” said Robinson. ANCHOR’S AWEIGH! Senior contes¬ tant Trudi Jordan models her version of ca¬ sual wear in the Casual Wear Presentation during the 1988 Miss KHS Pageant.

Friendship Common bonds unite groups of students I t began around 7:45 a.m. They entered school and began to clump together. A magnetic force drew them together before school, between classes, at lunch, and, most importantly, on the weekends. The force that bound students togeth¬ er, some in groups larger than others, was a common bond of friendship. Students agreed that having friends was one of the most important aspects of their lives. But, they chose their friends for different reasons. “Sometimes when everything in the world seems against you, a friend is all you need to cheer you up,” said senior Jennifer Kersis. “I think of a friend as a security blanket - someone who is always there to listen, even if I’m just complaining,” said senior Ann Williams. “I guess my friends are the people who I have the most in common with,” said sophomore Daniel Sparks. Groups of friends were found clus¬ tered together anywhere from the school library to local burger joints. The most common meeting place for groups of friends was in each other’s homes at a weekend party. Friends also spent hours on the telephone or just “cruising around town.” “My friends are my support sys¬ tem. When I want to laugh, they laugh with me. When I cry, they cry, too!” said junior Wendy Walter. “But, best of all, when I want to make a total fool of myself, they are crazy right along with me!” she added. “I’d rather be with a few close friends than a big group. That way I can be more open and have the assur¬ ance of having people really care about what I have to say,” said sophomore Cindy King. Most people agreed that no mat¬ ter how many friends a person had, a best friend was a very special person who made school and the social scene enjoyable. “Good friends are an important part of my life because they are always there to share the good times and they stick by you through the bad. I have enjoyed my friends in high school and will miss them next year,” said senior Beth Witherspoon. “ALRIGHT!

Couples Two people in love enjoy time together Twosomes P atiently you waited at your locker with baited breath. You casually pretended to be fumbling with your books. Trying not to be too obvious, you darted a quick glance down the crowded hallway to search for that special face - the one you could spot among thousands of faces in a crowded bleacher at a sold-out football game. That was how it all began! A casu¬ al smile, unintentional eye contact, and a wave launched two people onto the course of “true love.” “True love sneaks up on you from behind. It’s not Cinderella-like. I never expected to stay together as long as we have, but look what happened! The surprise of the whole thing is what makes it so much fun,” said senior Kristy Alligood. Various degrees of a relationship were evidenced by the couples in the crowded halls. There were those who were “just friends,” those who were “engaged,” and even a few married couples. Often, the more serious couples were entwined in each other’s arms, oblivious to the crowd. The pub¬ lic display of affection was considered tasteless by those who were forced to witness it. “I think that people ought to keep their relationship personal. To see people hanging all over each other in the hall makes their relationship look cheap,” said junior Christy Vaisvil. Some couples, in the early stages of a courtship, had a hard time getting together and staying together. “The first few weeks together are the most uncomfortable because you’re both trying too hard to impress each other and you’re not really being yourself,” said sophomore Marni O’Connell. There were also those individuals who wanted to “play the field.” They either felt they were too young to get serious, or they were having too much fun to settle down. “I don’t think it’s necessary to tie yourself down while still in high school. Afterall, if it’s really love, it will last,” said senior Marc Verniel. Trying to beat the odds, some couples were involved in long-distance relationships. While desperately long¬ ing to be with each other, they were forced to be separated because of col¬ lege, the military services, or a change of residence. “It’s hard to communicate with each other because you can’t stay on the phone forever and letters just aren’t the same as being together,” said junior Kristin Obeck. Even though the course of true love did not always run smoothly, most people believed it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. SNUGGLING IN THE SHADE!

Couples Drama Club presents ' Bye, Bye Birdie ' hit Musical S enior Andy O’Keefe confi¬ dently strode to center stage clad in gold and sequined Elvis hand-me-downs. He whipped out his comb and pulled it through his sculptured hair, as sighs of admiration came from the crowd of teenage girls surrounding him. The production of “Bye, Bye Birdie” by the Drama Club was under way. Months before the actual produc¬ tion, crew members began building sets and cast members began rehear¬ sals for the ambitious production. “At first, it seemed as if we were practicing forever. When the practices started to wind down, everyone began to get excited about the musical and look forward to rehearsals,” said senior Tony Robertson. In the fall, prior to the production of “Bye, Bye Birdie,” the club per¬ formed three one-act plays in the cafe¬ teria at the first Dinner Theater in the history of the school. “The three one-act plays were very successful. I knew, after that, that the group was talented enough to do ' Bye, Bye Birdie’ and do it well,” said Mrs. Mary Tarver, sponsor of the Dra¬ ma Club. April 7, opening night of the pro¬ duction, Drama Club members had the classic ’butterflies in the stomach’ syndrome. “We were all a little nervous that day, but I think it helped us perform a lot better,” said senior Valerie Spen¬ cer, student director, choreographer, and lead of “Bye, Bye Birdie.” The crowd in the auditorium on opening night eagerly awaited the per¬ formance that cast members had been talking about for months. “I always wanted to go see the show. I knew it was going to be good. ONCE MORE! Director Valerie Spencer starts the music again during a rehearsal for “Bye, Bye Birdie. ” _ “NOW, ALBERT!” Beth Kenney, clut¬ ching Rosie, Valerie Spencer, scolds her son Albert, Collin Nealey, in a scene from the musical “Bye, Bye Birdie. ” JliiviMty I was almost to a point where I was ner¬ vous for the cast, too, but we all knew they would do well,” said senior Ta¬ mara Green. Reaction to the performance was favorable. “I think it’s one of, if not the best, things that the Drama Club has ever done. Don’t miss it!” said math teacher Mrs. Barbara Young, following open¬ ing night of “Bye, Bye Birdie.” “I was so proud of them. The show was excellent and the kids worked hard. They also were willing to give and take. Some of them had to give up their jobs for a while. It upset them at first but they soon understood why,” said Mrs. Tarver. For members of the Drama Club, the ambitious production was the ful¬ fillment of a dream. “Bye, Bye Birdie” was a way of saying “thank you” to re¬ tiring sponsor Mrs. Tarver. 38 ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ OH, CONRAD! “Bye, Bye Birdie” cast members, Suzanne Giordano and Noel Spencer, watch as adoring teenager Norma Pugh throws herself at the feet of idol Con¬ rad Birdie, Andy O’Keefe, in the Drama Club’s production of the musical presented in the auditorium, April 7 and 8.

The “magical evenings” created lasting memories for upper¬ classmen. The Junior Ring Dance, March 26, was held in the cafeteria that was magically transformed for the eve¬ ning. Juniors spent hours setting up elaborate decorations, including a bridge, a balloon arch, and a wishing well. The colors were silver and blue and the theme was “We’ve Only Just Begun.” “The Ring Dance turned out better than I expected! We even had trash cans dressed in tuxedos,” said junior Kristin Romjue. “My date and I had a very spe¬ cial evening at the Ring Dance. But, of course, it was great! The Class of ’89 knows how to do it right!” said ju¬ nior Christy Vaisvil. The Senior Class held its Prom at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Hampton, May 7. The colors were mauve and silver and the theme was “A Long and Winding Road.” Redi¬ mix, a local band, performed for the event. “The Prom was an excellent, el¬ egant, and well-planned event,” said Senior Class Sponsor Mrs. Frances Hardy. “The Prom Committee did a great job of decorating the Radisson. I was really amazed by the combina¬ tion of mauve and silver,” said senior Dain Wilson. Many juniors and seniors made an elegant evening more luxurious and memorable by arriving in li¬ mousines. “Riding in a limousine was a re¬ ally neat experience! It was like a suite on wheels!” said senior Selby Tardo. While most dance goers found the evenings “dreamy,” a few were disappointed. “I felt the band didn’t play long enough and they were a little repeti¬ tious, but it was still a very romantic evening,” said senior Karen Stern. The evenings came and went, but with plenty of photographs, the Prom and Ring Dance live on. “It’s amazing how camera-hap¬ py parents get at prom time,” said junior Michelle Thompson. “But, being able to look at the pictures and relive the evening is great!” “HEY, LOOK AT ME!” Tricia Owens peeks out of the rear window of a stylish Limo on the way to the Prom, May 7.

Parked first in the row, Da in Wilson’s jeep is in the perfect position for a quick get-away from the jam¬ med parking lot after school. 42 Getting Around fM Lucky ones own car or ' set of wheels ' RidirV I f you were one of the lucky ones, you had a car, or some other set of wheels, to provide you with transportation to and from school and take you where you wanted to go on weekends and after school. Owning your own car was prob¬ ably one of the high points of your high school career. Certainly, you were the envy of everyone else. “I don’t know what I would do without my car,” said junior Stephanie Bell. “Before I got it, I had to depend on everyone else. Now, I can jump in my own car and cruise!” A car was considered the ideal gift for anyone celebrating their “Sweet 16” birthday. Months before the big day, hints were subtly dropped to parents. “Wow! What a great car!” or “I’d like to have a car like that!” Eventually, desperation set in. The hints became more direct until, finally, the day came. You got a car! NOT AGAIN! Walking into school, Steve Carpenter, David Whitehouse, Ben Moore, and Jeff Pierce stroll across the student parking lot to the building. high! “I was totally shocked!” said ju¬ nior Jennifer Gendron. “It was two months after my birthday when my dad pulled into the driveway with a gold, Dodge Daytona.” “My car was hidden in the neighbor’s garage. I couldn’t believe that my father made me follow clues to find it! I was so surprised,” said junior Dawn Ruskosky. More freedom and the ability to come and go as you wanted, includ¬ ing leaving school for lunch at McDonald’s, were the primary bene¬ fits of owning your own car, truck or, in the case of Dain Wilson, jeep. “I like driving a truck because it makes me different,” said junior Laura Brooks. “People aren’t used to seeing a girl drive a truck.” “Driving a truck makes me feel like I’m on top of the world,” said ju¬ nior Marcus Blount. Other students preferred the speed and comfort of sports cars. “It’s nice owning any car, but having a sports car is better because not only do I get around, I do it in style!” said senior David Farlee, who owned a flashy convertible Porsche 914 . “My MGB gives a normal ride a sense of style, especially when I take the top down!” said senior Ralph Butler. Underclassmen were not so lucky. Walking to and from school, or taking the bus, became a daily routine for them unless some sympa¬ thetic driver gave them a lift. “I hate not being able to drive. I’ll get my license in about a year and a half, but all of my friends are driv¬ ing now,” said sophomore Paul Lutz. “I can’t go anywhere except when my friends give me a ride!” he added. “I really appreciate it when I can get a ride home or to school in the morning,” said sophomore Rich¬ ard Walters. “It’s awful not being able to drive!” Getting around was a priority for everyone whether they had a car, rode as a passenger with someone else, took the Pentran bus, or even rode a yellow school bus. For teens having “a set of wheels” meant freedom. Mobility was an essential part of every day life. ON THE ROAD AGAIN! Jin So boards GOING IN STYLE!

Getting Around Top students receive praise, recognition Academics T he auditorium was filled on the evening of May 4 with proud parents and scrubbed, smiling students who were present to receive awards for their academic achievements. The first students to be recognized were those who ranked in the top five per cent of their class. Twenty-four fresh¬ men, 17 sophomores, 8 juniors, and 14 seniors received Academic Achievement awards. Colonel Robert Cetola presented appointments to the United States Air Force Academy to seniors Nick Giacobe and Ray Alves. Senior Jennifer Kersis was the only student to receive an award from the En¬ glish Department, while 16 students earned Social Studies Awards. “Receiving the English Award was indeed a surprise. I couldn’t believe that someone liked my writing enough to give me an award. I have received several awards in the past but I think this one will remain particularly special and memorable to me,” said Kersis. Senior JoAnne Carter received the Outstanding Student Medal and seniors Kristin Siemann and John Darnell were presented the Daughters of the Ameri¬ can Revolution (DAR) award for out¬ standing citizenship. Presented by department chairper¬ son Mrs. Debra Mortimer, outstanding science awards were awarded to junior Christina Hager, chemistry; senior Katherine Wood, biology; freshman Charles Cole, earth science; and senior Menaca Rangappa, physics. Coach William Cawley presented Tidewater Challenge certificates to se¬ niors Peter Welch, John Darnell, Jason Reed, Stacie Neal, and Donna Engler and to sophomore Jennifer Cui. Senior Nancy Petticolas and junior Ann Marie Wesen received Forensics Awards and publication editors, seniors Kristin Siemann, Kristy Alligood, Beth Witherspoon, and Joe Behan, received engraved desk plagues. “It was nice to be recognized for my work on Tribal Tales. The desk plague was very different from the other awards. That was a nice aspect of the award,” said Alligood. Debate awards were presented to sophomore Richard Walters and junior Naved Jafri while senior Collin Nealey and junior Jennifer Gendron were recog¬ nized for their selection to All-Virginia Chorus. A special award from the Republi¬ can Women’s Club was presented to se¬ niors Tier Thomas and Shanna Young. Senior Eleanor Magers, valedictori¬ an of the Class of 1988, was awarded the Hampton Roads Jaycees award. At formal induction ceremonies, May 10, 27 students, juniors and seniors, were recognized for academic excellence with membership in the National Honor Society. Inductees had to maintain an 8.8 weighted grade average and be rec¬ ommended by at least nine persons. TOP DEBATERS!

Academic Awards Senior Week gives class a chance to elebrate! all good things come to those who wait!” For seniors, _ _ it finally hap- pened-the culmination of 12 years of school and a chance to celebrate their ap¬ proaching graduation-when the week of May 23 was officially declared Senior Week. Celebrating each day in a unique way, seniors evidenced pride and class unity. “Although not everybody partici¬ pated every day, Senior Week provided a definite change in atmosphere and a sense of pride in all members of the class,” said senior Tim Wood. Beginning with Senior Dress Up Day and a class luncheon, provided by the cafeteria ladies during fifth period, Monday, Senior Week continued with College Day, ’88 Day, Class Night and Senior Skip. “College Day was fun as well as de¬ pressing. It made me realize how far apart my friends and I will be next year,” said senior Selby Tardo. Wednesday, officially dubbed ’88 Day, seniors wore class T-Shirts and jeans. The day, however, was only a pre¬ lude to Class Night. Giving seniors a chance to cut loose and have some fun, Class Night featured singers, dancers, musicians, and actors. Skits ranged from “Going Back to Sally” to “The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun!” The theme for Class Night was “’88 Dominates Hollywood.” “The theme seemed most fitting for our class. Hollywood, home of the stars, offers a multitude of talents and I feel that we also had that kind of star quali¬ ty,” said Senior Class President Jennifer Kersis. The high point of the week was Se¬ nior Skip Day when many seniors and some underclassmen ventured to Nags Head in North Carolina for a weekend of sun and fun. It was the perfect way to wind up the year. “HAIL TO THE GREEN!” Tracy Page , Stephanie Nock , and Mary Brown join in sing¬ ing the Alma Mater as the Class of ' 88 celeb rates Class Night, May 25.

It would have been awful to see empty seats at gradua¬ tion,” said senior Anita Fox. As the faculty gathered to lead the procession into the Coliseum and the band struck up the first notes of “Pomp and Circumstance,” the crowd became more excited and verbal. “It’s finally over! At least, almost,” shouted senior Mike Deluzio. Following graduation speeches by Senior Class President Jennifer Kersis, and Valedictorian Eleanor Magers, Prin¬ cipal Dennis Gillikin recognized the edi¬ tors of publications, President of the SCA, faculty, and guests on the platform. “FAREWELL OLD FRIEND!” Joe Behan and Ray Alves share a happy moment of antici¬ pation as they wait in the lobby of the Coliseum for the procession to begin. Graduation Scholarships and financial assis¬ tance, earned by over fifty graduates, and totaling over one million, six hun¬ dred thousand dollars, were presented by Assistant Principal James Hathaway. Among the scholarships were four mili¬ tary academy appointments, eight ath¬ letic grants, three ROTC scholarships, and numerous academic scholarships and awards. It was the largest amount ever awarded a graduating class. Salutatorian Susan Margulies pre¬ sented her speech, “12 Years of School,” and Superintendent Dr. Don Musselman congratulated the graduating seniors. Then, finally, the Class of ’88 walked across the stage of the Coliseum to re¬ ceive their diplomas. “I looked forward to graduation all year, but, when the day finally arrived, it was so scary to think it was all over. I know I am going to miss all of my good friends and all the good time,” said se¬ nior Ann Williams. Ls- ' SSfc GETTING READY!

Or, vision the hallways deserted without the noise and clamor of students changing classes.The building might be the same, but it was always the people who put the “u” in Kecoughtan. Uniquely different, each stu¬ dent and faculty member who walked the hallways or filled a classroom added his or her own personality and special attributes to the Warrior Reservation. This special blend of personalities was what made the year “Alive and Kicking.” Starting to work early in the fall, upperclassmen banded to¬ gether to create winning Home¬ coming floats and to plan class ac¬ tivities. While freshmen struggled to find their way around the building, sophomores settled into a routine. “As a sophomore, I was pret¬ ty used to high school. Our class was more settled in so we could concentrate on having fun. The people were what made Kecough¬ tan what it was!” said sophomore Brian Koren. Juniors tackled their most challenging year, while seniors got involved in politics, applied to colleges, and began to think seri¬ ously about the future. Even the faculty got into the act with a program to “improve school climate” that contributed to everyone. Accentuating personality, recognizing individual differ¬ ences, and uniting in spirit, Warriors were “Alive and Kick¬ ing!” People Divider MONICA ALBERT ERIKA G.

As under¬ classmen, they could not get it together, but, finally, they were seniors. Seniors were required to have spirit! The Senior Executive Board was determined from the start to unleash all of the energy the Class of ’88 had been holding back. “We started meeting at the end of our junior year and dis¬ cussed our major goal which was to be unique. We didn’t want to repeat the same old ac¬ tivities. Our brainstorms in¬ cluded working at Busch Gar¬ dens, and selling coupon books over the summer,” said trea¬ surer Stacie Neal. The Senior Executive Board continued its quest for funds by selling candy and then sta¬ dium cups with the slogan “Warriors Dominate” on the side. The magnitude of the Se¬ nior Class’s spirit became ap¬ parent during Spirit Week, October 5-9. There was no de¬ nying it, the class definitely had spirit. “People came up to me and said that it was the best spirit week ever! The seniors really had spirit, but why shouldn’t they? They have the most to be spirited about!” exclaimed SCA Vice President Lisa Jones. class Spirit Week ended with the traditional Football Home¬ coming Pep Rally and seniors placed first in the spirit com¬ petition. “Seniors had the most spirit at the pep rally. We were the loudest, as well as the rowdi¬ est. We deserved to win! And, Pm sure we’d have won the second pep rally too, if it hadn’t been cancelled,” said senior Lewis Watson. Thus, after three years of hesitant cheering at pep rallies and timid attempts during Spirit Week, seniors finally unleashed their spirit. They were the Class of ’88 and proud of it! FUL OF PRIDE!

They were to experience a rare treat - a seniors only field trip! CNC’s Drama Department pre¬ sented “Oedipus Rex” for high school seniors in the area. Mrs. Al¬ berta Boyd’s, Mrs. Evelyn Ol¬ iver’s, and Mrs. Evelyn Dawkins’ English students attended. “Unfortunately, we could not take everyone, but, the classes who went had studied ‘Oedipus’ and the trilogies,” explained Mrs. Boyd. “I really liked seeing ‘Oedipus Rex’ on stage. Since we had just finished reading it in class, it made it a lot easier to understand,” said senior Scott Johnson. During the lunch break, stu¬ dents were able to catch a glimpse of college life. “It was pretty cool being around a college for a while. Even though I won’t go to CNC, I liked seeing people that I knew from last year,” said senior John Darnell. Following lunch, students asked the cast questions. “Overall, it was a good produc¬ tion but I did have some questions concerning their different transla¬ tion of the play,” said senior Ray Alves. ? ► f J r V . ■ : vs ,i- Pi x 1 i TwmA i INTERMISSION!

For sen¬ iors, the “best thing” was graduation and all of the attendant rituals and ceremonies that accompanied it. But, it definitely was not free. Seniors went bankrupt quickly. The first step in the “money vanishing” process was getting a senior portrait taken. This was done at the end of the ju¬ nior year, and rising seniors spent from $50 to $100 on pic¬ ture packets over the summer. “I didn’t mind any of the ex¬ penses at first! I was still try¬ ing to believe that I was really a senior,” said senior Trudi Jordan. Back at school, seniors were SAY CHEESE! President of the Senior Class Thad Simerly sits for his official senior portrait on the make-up day in October. faced with class dues of $20, plus an extra $10 if their date to the Prom was not from Kec- oughtan, in addition to normal school expenses. Fall signalled the time to fill out applications for college. Fees ranged from $15 to $35, depending on the university. Transcript fees were an addi¬ tional $2. “I never knew that you had to start paying for college even before you were accept¬ ed! The cost of applications was pretty high,” said senior Sean Pomeroy. Following the winter break, seniors were hit with multiple expense. First, graduation an¬ nouncements, averaging $68 per package, were ordered and paid for in January. Then, in February, seniors took cap and gown pictures and ordered their ’88 yearbook at a cost of $25. “Getting graduation an¬ nouncements was nice because it brought graduation closer. But, it was ridiculous how much money things cost! They sold some really ‘weird’ stuff, like senior jewelry,” said se¬ nior Andrew Wright. An active social life was im¬ portant for seniors. Money was needed for gas, dates, food and drink, and other inciden¬ tal expenses. A weekend date averaged about $12 per per¬ son. The biggest social event of the year was the Senior Prom. Essential items, such as a dress, tux, corsage, bouton¬ niere, and dinner brought the total cost of the Prom into the hundreds. The Senior Class Executive Board sold heart- shaped balloons to help cut the cost of the Prom, but it was still expensive. BALANCING ACT!

Campaign time valuable ■ lounging out in the Lsun!” exclaimed government student senior Lisa Vanpelt, while she spent fourth period in the school’s parking lot, soaking up rays. Scattered throughout the lot were students from all of the se¬ nior government classes. They handed out literature for State Senate candidates Democrat Hunter Andrews and Republi¬ can Eleanor Rice on Election Day, November 3. All government students were informed of campaigning opportunities in early October. Mr. William Cawley’s students were given the choice of cam¬ paigning for Andrews or Rice. They had to work 35 hours to re¬ ceive an “A.” Other students, Ms. Flood’s, Mr. Conrad’s or Mrs. Ellingsworth’s, put in hours at campaign headquarters or at the polls for extra credit. “The campaigning took up a lot of my time, but I learned a great deal. It was interesting seeing the ‘behind the scenes’ part of campaign,” said senior Jay Gorski. Bay Days, September 11-13, provided an earlier opportunity to donate valuable campaign time. Students spent hours blowing up balloons to hand out to children on a hot, sunny Sat¬ urday. Adults attending the fes¬ tivities received campaign liter¬ ature. “People we handed literature out to often asked us questions about where our candidate stood on issues. So, you had to have some knowledge about the candidate to participate fully,” said senior Eleanor Magers. Students also volunteered time at campaign headquarters for their candidate. They ad¬ dressed envelopes, sorted out literature, and manned the tele¬ phones. The reward for all the hard work was knowing that cam¬ paigning had been a valuable learning experience. “I really learned a lot and it was a lot of fun, too!” said senior Frances Bennett. “AND, HE HUFFED AND HE PUFFED!” Matt Steinmetz blows up campaign balloons to hand out for Sena¬ tor Andrews on Election Day.

I spent all night studying for trig!” “I better get a good grade on that project. I’ve worked for a month on that thing!” Walking down D-Hall in be¬ tween classes, one could hear seniors discussing their study habits. “A lot of times, I go home with good intentions of doing all of my homework and studying a lot, but I usually end up getting distracted and not doing any¬ thing,” laughed senior Sean Pomeroy. Seniors cramming to finish their third period homework in second period were a common sight. With the exception of a dedicated few, seniors were rarely seen carrying loads of books. Senioritis came into full bloom after the start of second semester. Studying was just not a top priority. “By the time second semester rolled around, I didn’t take any books home. I’d just do all of my homework the period before it was due. Sometimes, I’d look at the underclassmen carrying all of their books, and I’d have to laugh,” said senior Whitney Bartlett. HARD AT WORK!

MARTY German Club Time to make memories F inally the time came! The last year of high school! Along with the “last of every¬ thing,” it was a time to accu¬ mulate memories that would long be remembered after the final chorus of “Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance.” From Homecoming and the football team’s loss to Hamp¬ ton in the Regional Champi¬ onship to the news that seniors would be exempt from exams if they had an “A” or “B” aver¬ age in a class, events of this special year in high school were more personal and mean¬ ingful. “Spending time with my boyfriend will be the best memory for me of my senior year. It is the special moments that we share that I will always cherish,” said senior Stephan¬ ie Whitehurst. “Being with my friends will stand out in my mind. They were always there for me when I needed them and they were the ones who I had fun with,” said senior Sharon Berkley. Planning for college or a ca¬ reer played an important role in memory making. The antic¬ ipation of acceptance, the fear of rejection, and the dreams of a new start filled the minds of most seniors. “Signing with Virginia Tech will definitely be what I re¬ member most. That took care of all my college worries. It was a great feeling to know that I had a school to go to when all of my friends were still waiting to hear,” said senior Marc Ver- niel. “I was so excited to find out that I got into UNC! That’s what I’ll always remember about the year,” said senior Shanna Simpson. Indeed, for seniors, it was a time to make the grade, make friends, “make waves,” and make lasting memories.

There it was! The letter he had been waiting for since Decem¬ ber! The letter that contained his college acceptance or rejec¬ tion! For many seniors, the deci¬ sion on where to pursue a fur¬ ther education was uppermost in their minds all year long. Applications were filled out and sent, letters of recommen¬ dation solicited, and the wait for a reply endured. “The worst part for me was the months of waiting for an answer from a college. I was a wreck the last two weeks of March,” said senior Kristy Al- ligood. For some, the choice of a col¬ lege was a difficult one, but for others the decision was made years ago. “I always wanted to go to the University of Virginia. I never wanted to attend anoth¬ er college. It was a very excit¬ ing moment when I found out that I had been accepted,” said senior Hugh Milteer. Top athletes, in addition to choosing a good academic en¬ vironment, had to consider the athletic program. Senior Eric Williams, quarterback on the football team, finally selected James Madison University. “I’m really looking forward to going to JMU because they run an offensive similar to the one we run,” said Williams. The Guidance Office was a haven for the college-bound senior. Booklets and catalogs were piled high on the shelves and Guidance Secretary Mrs. Esther Penrod assisted by handling transcript requests and sending report cards to colleges. “I enjoy working with the seniors although I admit that it can get pretty hectic at times,” said Mrs. Penrod. Some seniors spent week¬ ends visiting colleges with friends or parents. “I went to Virginia Tech twice-once with my friends to see what the parties were like and then with my mom to get a better understanding of the curriculum,” said senior Selby Tardo. Making a decision on college added extra excitement and pressure to the final year of high school for seniors. SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE!

Burger King’s parking lot was filled with carloads of teens asking one question, “What’s going on tonight?” For students whose typical weekend night consisted of a party or two, this sight was all too common. But for seniors, it meant something else, some¬ thing more meaningful. They would not have to do this next year! “Every weekend I just think of what I’ll be doing next year, and I know that whatever col¬ lege I go to, at least I won’t have to be here,” said senior Kelli Keeter. Road trips to various col¬ leges were an escape from the ho-hum of Hampton exis¬ tence. “Going to visit my sister at N.C. State gave me a great chance to see first hand what the school was like,” said se¬ nior Denese Wilkins. Part-time jobs took prece¬ dence for many seniors during the weekly two-day break from school. “I had to work every week¬ end, and it got to be a hassle! While everyone planned on what party they were going to that night, all I had to look for¬ ward to was work,” said senior Amy Staton. Going to parties, hanging out at Burger King, or just cruising broke the monotony of the weekend. “A lot of times, if nothing’s going on, we just go driving around or walk the neighbor¬ hood. When there’s a whole bunch of us, it’s fun,” said se¬ nior Marc Verniel. For seniors, being with friends, sharing adventures, storing up tales to tell, and have fun were number one! JUST CRUISING! Kristin Siem- ann, Lisa Vanpelt, Kristy Alligood, and Frances Bennett make the most of a weekend by driving around on a warm Saturday afternoon. WHERE ARE THE FIRE¬ WORKS? Lori Hilbert, Ashley James, Stacie Neal, and Michelle Harry “hang out” at a party on the Fourth of July waiting for the fire¬ works. MICHAEL W.

' , SLIGHT OF HAND! Sean Pom¬ eroy demonstrates his magic skills with a card trick. Pomeroy perform¬ ed at parties and appeared on vari¬ ous television programs. ' Giving K eeping up a talka¬ tive banter to dis¬ tract the audience, magician senior Sean Pomeroy performed per¬ plexing tricks with ease. Pom¬ eroy performed at children’s birthday parties and on televi¬ sion. He traveled to Florida and New York City to perform. “During my senior year, I went to Daytona Beach for Christmas. I was given the chance to be on various televi¬ sion programs which was excit¬ ing!” said Pomeroy. Pomeroy was just one of many talented seniors who “gave it their best” both in and out of it your best ' school. Senior David White- house captivated audiences as the lead vocalist for the band Benevolent Swimmers. The band was a favorite at the New American Theater in Phoebus where it played on a regular ba¬ sis. Talented band members sen¬ iors John Darnell and Susan Margulies represented the War¬ rior Band in State competition. Margulies was named to All- Virginia Band as third chair trumpet. “I was pleased to be chosen for the All-Virginia Band. I con¬ sider it an honor,” said Margu¬ lies. Seniors with academic talents also “gave it their best” in com¬ petition. Senior Peter Welch was named a Semi-finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program and senior Raymond Alves was a Semi-finalist in the National Achievement of Out¬ standing Negro Students Pro¬ gram. Senior Jason Reed was one of 40 students nation-wide to win the Westinghouse Science Tal¬ ent Search. Reed’s project in¬ volved submarines. “I was very pleased and hon¬ ored to be chosen.

I DON’T LIKE THIS!” David Caggiano takes his Irish setter, Ginger, for her daily walk in the neighborhood. Pets fill T hey came in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They com¬ forted you when ev¬ erything else seemed to fall apart. They were always there when you needed someone to talk to. They were good for your ego, because they thought you were wonderful, no matter what. Who were they? They were the dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, snakes, and mice that students called pets. “I love animals! They’re cute and cuddly, and they like to run around and play. They¬ ’re just fun to be around,” said freshman Korrina Schmidt. Most students had common household pets, like cats and dogs. Over the years, the entire family became attached to the pets and enjoyed their pres¬ ence in the home. “Animals are cute and I like to play with my dog and cat. The whole family loves them,” said sophomore Julie Thomp¬ son. For some students, animals were not objects of affection but something to pursue. “I don’t really like animals. Mostly, I like to hunt instead,” need said freshman Mike Golden- baum. “The world needs lots of an¬ imals. What’s hunting without them,” asked junior Scott Tunstall. Students played host to many different animals, in¬ cluding some that were not generally considered pets. “I have two ferrets and a rat. I like them because they’re fun to hold and watch, and, if they get lost, it’s great when I try to find them,” said Schmidt. “I have two dogs, a cat, and a snake. They’re mean to me and mean to each other,” said Tunstall. The biggest disadvantage to having a pet was the daily care. Most students, like freshman David Caggiano, had to take the dog for a daily walk. Wat¬ ering and feeding the pet was also time consuming, and sometimes students neglected their pets. “I have a bird. Most of the time, I forget to feed him- sometimes for a whole week! He never dies. I’ve had him for three years,” explained Gol- denbaum.

' D did you know that John cheated on Mary with Alice and that Alice is having family problems be¬ cause her brother’s girlfriend’s mom got hit by a truck when it swerved off the road to avoid a rabbit? Confused? Don’t be! The above was just the latest bit of gossip floating through the halls. If you heard it, you were probably one of the many stu¬ dents who was trapped in a wave of gossip at school. Many students objected to all the gossip and felt that gos- sipers should be punished. “I think if someone spreads a rumor, it should be reversed on them as a form of punish¬ ment. Maybe then, the gossip will stop,” said freshman Em¬ manuel Knight. “If people gossip, fine! But, it’s not my thing and I have no respect for people who gos¬ sip,” said junior Wade Blount. “Gossiping is childish,” said sophomore Julie Thompson. “People gossip just to build up their own egos. I don’t want to associate with them.” For most students, the temptation to gossip was over¬ whelming, especially when they got a hold of a “juicy” piece of information. “I don’t like gossip, but ev¬ eryone’s bound to do it, sooner or later. Sometimes a simple conversation can get twisted around and, unfortunately, other people start to gossip,” said junior Michele Benson. Topics for gossipers ranged from who was dating who, to what went on at so ‘n’ so’s party. In class, at lunch, in the halls, students exchanged those juicy bits of information they had gleamed from anoth¬ er source and passed them on to friends. Gossiping was one way to re¬ lieve the boredom of just an¬ other school day. “The truth is, everyone likes to gossip. We don’t mean to hurt anyone. We’re just nosy!” said Benson. “DID YOU HEAR THE LAT¬ EST?” Obeck and Margaret Hamilton catch up on the latest scoop in Mrs. Joyce Frazier ' s Latin class.

Mi¬ chelle Lawler works furiously during her lunch period to finish an assign¬ ment for an afternoon class. ' I just wish I ' d said that! ' Y ou stayed out late and you were not able to complete your sixth period homework. “No problem,” you said to yourself. You would work on it in your other classes and during lunch if you had to. But, you ran out of time. The bell dismissing fifth pe¬ riod rang, and you walked slowly to your sixth period class, preparing to face death! When you entered the room, your hands began to perspire, your knees felt weak, and your stomach muscles tightened. Should you tell your teacher the truth? Or, should you con¬ coct some excuse? Faced with this dilemma, many students decided to make up an excuse. Judging by the following examples, stu¬ dents could be truly creative! “Last night there was a blackout at my house. I was doing my homework on my computer when the lights went out. I lost it all!” explained sophomore Bill Gustafson. “I was walking to school and a flock of seagulls were flying overhead, dropping things. I didn’t want to get my hair mus¬ sed up, so I used my homework for protection. It naturally got ruined in the process,” said freshman Roland Fennell. “When it snowed, my car win¬ dow was down and my term pa¬ per was on the front seat. It got all wet and smeared, so, I will just have to do it over,” said ju¬ nior Melanie Godfrey. “My father took my car and everthing I own is in it,” said ju¬ nior Michele Benson. “My dad took it - my brother took it - my little dog ate it!” I just wish I had said that!

Enjoying a soft drink at Burger King, Joan Eaton takes a long sip and relishes the cool refresh¬ ment. The fast food dilemma M cDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Hardee’s, Arby’s, Taco Bell - the list of fast food restaurants was endless and, with so many to choose from, making the right choice was not always a simple task. “The choice isn’t hard for me,” said junior Leigh Harrison. “I al¬ ways eat at Taco Bell. It’s my fa¬ vorite. I love all of the food!” Other students found choosing more difficult. Which fast food restaurant they patronized de¬ pended on the time of day, their mood, current prices, and conve¬ nience. “Where I go depends on the time of day,” explained junior Wendy Manley. Hardee’s is the best for breakfast, but I want to eat lunch and dinner at other places,” she added. “Burger King is practically right across the street from my house,” said junior Travis Ward. “Because it is so convenient, I eat there often,” he explained. “It all depends upon what I’m in the mood for and how much money I have,” explained sopho¬ more Susan Griffith. “Fast food can get expensive,” she added. The money involved was not the only cost paid by fanatic pa¬ trons of fast food restaurants. A diet of strictly fast food was not healthy and could put on the pounds. “I’m trying to cut down on fast food, because I know that a meal of a burger, fries, and a Coke isn’t the healthiest,” said one fresh¬ man. For most students, eating fast food was convenient. “When I worked, I often mis¬ sed dinner and I never have time to fix myself anything. So, I just stopped at Burger King on the way to work,” said junior Julie Boyer. “I go there to hang out with my friends,” said junior Milan Brown. “I eat a lot of fast food because it’s cheap, convenient, and it tastes pretty good,” said junior Naved Jafri. Although the majority of stu¬ dents frequented fast food res¬ taurants often, there were those who did not. “I don’t eat there because it’s noisy, the food is greasy, and I can’t stand it,” said sophomore Monica Tugwell. Maybe a homecooked meal was better after all!

Tabetha Cook, Linda Simpson, Alli¬ son Clark, and Lisa Graham jostle for mirror space in one of the girls ’ bath¬ rooms. What ' s u W hat’s go¬ ing on here?” asked Dean of Girls Mrs. Shirley Booth when she entered one of the girls’ bathrooms. What was going on was only too obvious. Students were breaking the school rules by smoking in the bathrooms. “Mrs. Booth always asked that question,” said one junior. “But, it was kind of obvious with all of the smoke and the smell of cigar¬ ettes.” All too often, clouds of smoke filled the bathrooms making it uncomfortable and unpleasant for many students. “I find it uncomfortable be¬ cause of the smoke and litter. But, it’s mainly the smoke,” said junior Tamiko Foard. “I think they should do it some¬ going on here? ' where else,” said sophomore Deanna Roberts. Some felt the smoke was so of¬ fensive they did not use the rest¬ rooms. “I never go in there. It makes my hair smell. If there wasn’t so much smoking in the stalls, it would be O.K.,” said freshman Tarika Blizzard. Girls also used the bathrooms to apply makeup, comb and spray their hair, and admire themselves in the mirror. Unfortunately, many young ladies were not care¬ ful about aiming the hairspray at their hair. “I don’t mind them doing spraying in there. I just wish they would watch where they spray it,” said Roberts. “It gets all in my eyes and what not,” said freshman Shanta Ho¬ gan. “Another activity in the bath¬ rooms was gossiping. “I don’t dare go in the bath¬ rooms and listen to the gossip. I worry that someone will talk about one of my friends and I will have to take sides. Then, I’ll be talked about when I leave,” said a junior. Girls were not the only ones with problems in the bathrooms. “I avoid the bathrooms at all costs because of the smoke. If I go in there, even for a minute, my clothes smell for the rest of the day,” said freshman Rodney Jackson. “There aren’t any mirrors, either,” continued Jack- son. “There is only one mirror in the whole school for nearly 700 guys,” he explained. Although administrators and teachers tried to stop smoking in the bathrooms, it continued to be a problem. Underclassmen THE GANG’S ALL HERE! Carrie Price, Melissa Sea bolt, Karen Bow¬ man, and Pam Weaver form their own little group during the fall pep rally in the gym. Linus ' blanket: Cliques E veryone felt the need to fit in. Most people had their own separate groups, or cliques, to mingle with at social events, lunch, and in the halls between classes. From jocks to surfers, everyone had a title and was placed in a group with similar people. At times, individuals were unfairly labeled because of appearance, in¬ terests, academic grades, and who they hung out with. “I don’t believe people should be negatively stereotyped just be¬ cause of the people they hang around with. I do, however, be¬ lieve everyone has a certain group they enjoy spending time with,” said junior Leigh Harrison. Often times, peer pressure caused certain people not to talk to others, maybe because they did not dress in the latest styles, or just because their group did not approve of the individual. As cruel as it sounds, friends just had to keep one another happy. “I disagree totally with not talking to people because my friends don’t like them. I may hang around in a certain group, but I’ll associate with anybody I want. If my friends don’t like it, that’s too bad,” exclaimed sophomore Amy Obeck. To outsiders, cliques were not so “cool.” But, for the friends in¬ volved, being in a group often brought about a sense of securi¬ ty. People never had to worry about who they were going out with, or even who they were just going to sit around with, be¬ cause they could always depend on their friends. “Always knowing that I have someone to hang around with makes me feel good. Since I be¬ long to a certain group, I know that I will always have them to depend upon,” stated freshman Denise Eby. Being part of a group was as important as breathing.

You should have done better,” said your teacher as she slammed the paper on your desk. Hesitantly, you looked at the big red marks on your pa¬ per. A 68! You couldn’t believe your eyes! “When I fail a test, I feel to¬ tally worthless. I think, ‘What will my parents say?’ Then, I begin to worry,” said junior Wade Blount. “They either tell me I’ve screwed up, or to do better,” he continued. “If I fail a test, it’s because I either didn’t study enough, or not at all,” said freshman Shannon Bridegam. “I feel terrible and get de¬ pressed if I fail a test,” said sophomore Blake Routten. Some students felt that when they failed a test, it was partly the teacher’s responsi¬ bility for not caring enough to help the students. “When I fail, it’s because my teachers don’t bother to go over anything that is actually on the test,” said freshman Korrina Schmidt. “Sometimes, my teachers assign too many tests on one day, and I get bogged down with work. Sometimes, I stay up late at night and then I’m tired in school,” said Blount. “If I don’t understand something, I’ll ask the teacher. Sometimes she doesn’t want to be bothered with me, and I fail,” said sophomore Julie Thompson. It was rare, if ever, that stu¬ dents were punished at home for failing a test. Most often, the student was encouraged to try to do better. “My parents never get mad. The most they do is make me bring my books home and study for an hour,” said junior Travis Ward. “My parents are really great! They are concerned and tell me that I should do better in school but they never re¬ strict me,” said Bridegam. WHAT A HEADACHE!

R emember those days when you were feeling blue? Ev¬ eryone seemed moody at times, and everyone learned to cope. A certain look in a friend’s eye could tell you in a heartbeat if you should run up and talk to them, or run away. “When I’m in a bad mood, I just like to be left alone. There is so much pressure on me, and sometimes it’s hard to deal with,” said junior Philista Corbitt. “I try to smile, even when I’m in the worst of moods. But, at times, I just want to be left alone,” said junior Jim Rei- chenbach. If a student was feeling “up,” he walked down the hall smiling, or even acted crazy at times. “When I’m in a good mood, I can really be a spastic fool. I run down the hallways and sing during class. I get on ever¬ yone’s nerves,” said junior Mi¬ chelle Thompson. Those in a bad mood, how¬ ever, walked around with a black cloud over their heads, like the comic character in “Lil Abner.” “Sometimes I get upset and without thinking about it, I’ll walk around mad over noth¬ ing,” said junior Monique Brown. “I’m usually in a bad mood at school because it seems like I’m always in a rush,” said ju¬ nior Angela Mitchell. “I’m definitely in a bad mood today! Nothing is going right for me. I have a lot of pressure and a lot to think about,” said junior Stephanie Bell. Mood swings were usually the effect of stress and pres¬ sure in a teenager’s life. Re¬ search papers, exams, family problems, boyfriend girl¬ friend problems, or simply what to do on the weekend could trigger a shift in mood. “Different things affect me differently! It just depends on what’s going on, but I’m usual¬ ly a happy person,” said soph¬ omore Matt Parron. “I hate to be in a bad mood but somedays everything goes wrong from the time you wake up in the morning,” said soph¬ omore Margaret Hamilton.

Although the disease did not receive much publicity and there were not any choco¬ holic anonymous classes on the Peninsula, several stu¬ dents confessed to being ad¬ dicted to the sweet. “When I am given a chance to eat chocolate, I find it hard to refuse. Even when I am old and gray, I will be eating away at the chocolate box,” said sophomore Jennifer Cui. Guys were not willing to ad¬ mit that they were chocohol¬ ics, but they did eat just as much chocolate as girls. “I don’t picture myself as a chocoholic, but if there’s any money left after I eat lunch, it usually goes towards buying some M M’s or a candy bar,” said sophomore Dan Sparks. What kind of chocolate was most appealing to a compul¬ sive chocoholic? “Rocky Road ice cream in a big bowl,” said junior Travis Ward. “Chocolate fudge is excel¬ lent on vanilla ice cream. My chocolate urge is limited to fudge, because I ate so much chocolate ice cream that I don’t like it anymore,” said sophomore Alex Kantsios. School was especially trying for chocolate addicts. With thousands of boxes of M M’s, Caramel and Almond bars available at the bookstore, chocoholics found their quar¬ ters disappearing rapidly. “Man, I’m turning into a chocolate freak! I just can’t re¬ sist the urge to splurge when¬ ever I get near chocolate,” said Junior Joan Eaton. PIG OUT! Michelle Thompson, Laura Brooks, and Tiffany Brewton satisfy their urge for chocolate by demolishing a box of Valentine cho¬ colates in the library.

The group dubbed themselves “The Bulb Bunch” and their objective was to beautify the school grounds. “The ‘Bulb Bunch’ creates and maintains flower beds around the school,” said En¬ glish teacher Mrs. Mary Davis, who first organized the group. The idea of planting flowers took root when Mrs. Davis’ fifth period English class was discussing a story that they had read. “The story was ‘Antaeus’ and it was about a boy who was interested in farming. He moved to the city and decided to plant grass on top of the building he lived in,” explain¬ ed freshman Angie Askew. “The students wanted to have the pleasure of planting and watching things grow,” said Mrs. Davis. “We just started talking about the story, and we said, ‘Let’s try it! We can plant some bulbs that will come up next spring and look nice around the school,’” said freshman Michael Brown. The next step for the bunch was to approach Principal Dennis Gillikin for funds to purchase bulbs. “Once we got the money, a bunch of us rode out to McDo¬ nald’s nursery and bought bulbs for the flower beds,” said Brown. The students involved were enthusiastic about the project. “It was different to be a part of the ‘Bulb Bunch.’ I’ve never done anything like this and we’re making the school a bet¬ ter place,” said freshman Scott Howell. “Planting and growing plants is different from other hobbies like swimming and painting. It’s exciting and we feel really good about the ‘Bulb Bunch,’” said Askew. KEEP ON DIGGING! David Caggiano and Angelia Askew dig up an area beside the school to plant spring bulbs.

M ake no bones about it. Trying to get down the crowded halls to class on time with a broken leg was no fun! Learning to ma¬ neuver on unwieldly crutches was one of the more practical lessons learned by students who broke a bone one way or another. Junior Greyson Schwing, who broke his leg in a fall, of¬ ten had to flee to the clinic to rest. “Having a cast on my leg was really a pain! It itched all of the time and I had to take a bath with my leg propped up on the side of the tub. The worst thing about the cast was that I couldn’t drive,” said Greyson. For others, the pain was manageable and the circum¬ stances surrounding the break were varied. “I broke my collarbone by falling off of my bed from lau¬ ghing so hard,” said junior Joan Eaton. “It was really funny,” she explained, “because I didn’t hurt that much! I did wear a shoulder sling for a couple of weeks,” said Eaton. Christopher J. Moore 10 Christopher S.

Messages brighten day I t was a day for lovers, friends, and unknown admirers to make their bid for affection. It was Valentine’s Day and students had several options to choose from when deciding what kind of message to send to someone special. Keyettes sold Valentine grams, the Torch staff sold carnations, and the Senior Class sold balloons. All day long, those lucky Valentine re¬ cipients carried their balloons or carnations to class. “I was surprised and excited to receive the balloons from my close friends,” said junior Mary Holland Wood. It did not really matter to some students who sent the Valentine. The important thing was being remembered. “Whether or not you have a boyfriend or girlfriend on Val¬ entine’s Day doesn’t really matter. What really matters is that you have friends to share the day with,” said junior Leigh Harrison. For others, Valentine’s Day just was not the same without a special someone to share it with. “My boyfriend and I spent the evening together enjoying each other’s company,” said junior Christy Vaisvil.

Handling ' family ties ' Y ou lived with them every day of your life. Then sudden¬ ly, when you least expected it, your little brother or little sister was a freshman! “I can’t believe he is really here! I have to check on him all the time! I even had to fix his hair for class pictures, because my mom said to,” said senior Stephanie Ingram. Many students had “family ties” at school. Some did not mind having a sibling in the same school, but others pre¬ ferred to ignore “the pest” whenever possible. “Having my sister in school with me is a royal pain! She loves to bother me and the teachers I’ve had before al¬ ways want to compare us. It drives me crazy,” said junior Michelle Thompson. Little sister Julie, however, did not seem to mind. “It’s nice having someone pave the way for me. She also gives me a ride to and from school,” said sophomore Julie Thompson. Other siblings actually liked each other and were glad to be in the same school. “My sister Pam and I have ! had our share of arguments in class. But, like everyone else, we have our good days and bad ; days. And, I think ‘Pumpkin’ I is a real sweety,” said junior Debbie Elmore. -Jeff Pierce 11 Stephanie Pitts 9 Susan Plum 10 Dana Pollard 9 Howard Pope 10 Stacy Porter 11 Michael Possehl 10 Christopher Powers 10 Michael Powers 11 Anthony Prata 11 Raymond Pressey 11 Carvelus Preston 10 Evan Prevatte 9 Carrie Price 10 Chad Price 9 Desmond Price 10 Sherri Pride 10 Wanda Pritchett 10 96 Underclassmen Pi-Pr Tammy Proffit 10 Charles Pugh 10 Meredith Purvis 9 Jennifer Raab 11 Sarah Raab 10 Stephanie Raines 11 Edward Ramey 10 Marcia Randolph 10 Steven Rawles 11 Christopher Reddy 9 Preston Reed 11 James Reichenbach 11 John Reinhard 9 Daniel Reisbick 9 Edwin Reppy 10 Andre Reyes 9 James Rhoades 9 Takashi Rhoulac 11 Chad Rice 11 Craig Rice 9 Toye Richardson 11 Edward Richey 11 Shannon Ricks 11 Christopher Riddick 10 Brandi Riddle 10 Mark Riffe 10 Rebecca Riffe 9 Antonio Risk 10 Courtney Ritenour 10 Andrea Rizzo 9 Jason Roane 11 Deanna Roberts 10 Konyika Robinson 10 Doressa Rogers 9 Elton Roller 11 Kristin Romjue 11 Amy Roscopf 10 Ikar Ross 10 Glenn Rothrock 11 Herman Rouse 11 Ashley Routten 10 Blake Routten 10 Vicky Routten 9 Andrea Rowe 11 William Rowe 9 Dana Rozar 10 Dustin Ruehle 11 Albert Rumburg 10 Pr-Ru Underclassmen School expenses add up M oney talked! Ex¬ penses connected with living the good life in high school added up quickly. One of the biggest items in an under¬ classman’s budget was going out. “Most of my money goes for entertainment-going out with my friends,” said junior Ernest Wil¬ lis. Transportation was another costly item on a budget. “I buy stuff for my scooter,” said freshman Bobby Whelan. “I spend a lot of money on gas,” said Willis. School expenses also added up, particularly for juniors who pur¬ chased class rings and planned on attending the Ring Dance. “We have to buy yearbooks, activity cards, and pay for athlet¬ ic activities,” said freshman Sta¬ cey Huff. “I had to work all last week just to pay for my tux,” said junior Craig Leaphart. One of the biggest dilemmas for underclassmen, who were of¬ ten too young to get a job, was where to get the money they needed. “I babysit and do odd jobs for I my money. Most of it usually goes too quickly on clothes and goofing around,” said junior Sherri Willings. “My paper route provides me with spending money for all of the things I need or want,” said Whelan.

It kept them busy! “Being in so many clubs gives me a chance to do a lot of things and meet a lot of new people,” said sophomore Sheila Barnhart, a member of the Spanish Club and Key Club and on the staff of the Tomahawk and Tribal Tales. “Clubaholics” rarely experi¬ enced a day without a meeting, either before or after school. Their calendars were a maze of commitments to fund raisers, community projects, or work and practice sessions. A genu¬ ine “clubaholic” loved the ac¬ tivity! “I want all kinds of experi¬ ence. You don’t get that by just doing one thing. Joining clubs and organizations is a way of broadening your knowl¬ edge,” said sophomore Marga¬ ret Hamilton, a member of the Sophomore Class Executive Board, Captain of the Junior Varsity cheerleading squad, on the staff of the Tomahawk and Tribal Tales, and a mem¬ ber of the Latin and Key Clubs. Despite a belief by some that people joined clubs to become popular, most “clubaholics” joined because they believed in what the vari¬ ous clubs stood for. “I don’t join clubs to become popular but because I like what they stand for,” said ju¬ nior Stephanie Bell, a Flagtwirler and member of FHA. “It also looks great on your college applications,” added sophomore Marni O’Connell, a J.V. cheerleader. Joining clubs was a way for many students to meet new people and to learn how to combine efforts for a common purpose. “I’ve really learned a lot about cooperation and group effort from all the clubs I’m in,” said sophomore Emily Keith. Although the “clubaholics” were members of numerous clubs, the motivating factor was rarely just to belong. Most club members were selective in considering the merits of belonging and what each club had to offer. “One shouldn’t be in a club unless they really enjoy it. Just because it looks good on your record is not a good reason to join a club,” said junior Jason Schwartz. “Without clubs and sports, I would be very bored,” said junior Travis Ward. “I spend a lot of time on clubs but I love it,” said Ham¬ ilton. “The students who join the clubs and organizations at school are the ones who get things done and really have school spirit,” said Barnhart.

Anxious for the day to end, Rodney Jackson, Gene Fowler, Chris Reddy, and Andy Ward watch the action from the bleachers in their sixth period gym class. SLEEPY HEAD! Dozing off in Mrs. Vann’s sixth period freshman English, Randy Cole gives Mike Be¬ han something to laugh about. ' It ' s C all it boredom, fa¬ tigue, or being just plain “tuckered out!” Whatever the reason, it seemed that sometimes the day would never end! “Sixth period had to be the worst class of the day. All I thought about was going home! It was impossible to concentrate on studying,” said sophomore Sheila Barnhart. Some students, tired from an exhausting day of lectures, long tests, and assignments, found themselves dozing off from time to time only to be awakened by the teacher’s threatening voice. “It’s hard to concentrate when you are tired. Sometimes, I go to sleep and then wake up with a start! It’s awful!” said ju¬ nior Craig Leaphart. Nevertheless, sixth period still meant classtime and work that had to be done. “I’m really glad when it’s the end of the day, but I still manage day! ' to do all of the work in class. I have to!” said junior Steven Maddux. Other students did not even consider working during sixth period. “It’s a time for exchanging all the latest scoop,” said freshman Lori Belihar. “Sixth period is a trip! When¬ ever she is not looking, or turns her back, we imitate our teacher all of the time,” said sophomore Ann Bethea. been a William Wall 9 Daphne Wallace 11 Deborah Wallace 9 Douglas Walter 9 Wendy Walter 11 Richard Walters 10 Steven Wampler 9 Andrew Ward 9 Dana Ward 10 Jeffrey Ward 10 Jennifer Ward 10 Nathan Ward 10 Russell Ward 9 Travis Ward 11 Katharine Ware 9 Susan Warf 10 Sherie Warren 11 Wendy Warren 9 Tamara Washington 9 Linda Watkins 10 Stephanie Watkins 9 Bobby Watson 11 Nancy Watson 10 Veronica Watts 10 Wa-Wa Underclassmen Shannon Wayman 9 Pamela Weaver 10 Eric Weems 10 Jenifer Welker 11 Marsha Wells 10 Christopher Welsh 11 Corinna Wengryn 9 Ann Marie Wesen 10 Kenneth Westmoreland 9 Tammy Westmoreland 11 Robert Whelan 9 Zoran Whelan 11 Lakisha White 9 Michelle White 10 Sherrian White 10 Lawana Whitehead 9 Melissa Whitehead 9 Norris Whitehead 10 Nathan Whitesides 10 Brian Whitley 11 Mary Whitley 10 Rana Wiggins 11 Rebecca Wile 9 Scott Wilkison 9 Arlene Williams 9 Charles Williams 10 Chris Williams 10 Eric Williams 11 Kimberly Williams 9 Michael Williams 9 Patrice Williams 10 Roselyn Williams 9 Sonya Williams 11 Towanda Williams 11 Trina Williams 10 Vera Williams 9 Michael Williamson 10 Edward Williamston 10 Laura Willings 9 Sherri Willings 11 James Willis 10 Bobby Wilson 9 Robert Wilson 9 Trudy Wilson 10 Scott Windham 9 Angela Winfield 11 Latanya Winnegan 10 Patricia Wolkowich 11 Underclassmen Wa-Wo “THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!” Kevin Clark demonstrates how to properly change lanes in his fifth pe¬ riod Driver’s Ed. class. to freedom! Passport I t was the most important piece of paper in the world, next to the Consti¬ tution and the Declara¬ tion of Independence. It was much smaller and granted only one privilege, but it was an un¬ derclassman’s passport to free- dom-a driver’s license. Possession of a license was a symbol of maturity. It paved the way to increased independence and additional responsibility. At last, you were free to cruise down the road and blast the ra¬ dio to your heart’s content! Juniors and sophomores took the required Driver’s Education class where they learned to re¬ spect the rules of the road. Most future drivers fel t the course was beneficial. “I think it’s good that we are required to take Driver’s Ed. Otherwise, a lot of people wouldn’t take it and there are a lot of idiots on the road,” said sophomore Suzanne Giordano. Prospective drivers also had to take Behind-the-Wheel, either at Phoebus High School or from a private driving school, before they could obtain their li¬ cense. “Being able to take Behind- the-Wheel at Phoebus, instead of paying for it from a private driving school, like Hunt’s, was a great opportunity to get the training at a lower price and still get your license,” said sopho¬ more Amy Obeck.

Well, believe it! This was what happened when faculty members went on vacation. “I thought the most exciting thing about my vacation was playing the slot machines in Atlantic City,” said Govern¬ ment teacher Mrs. Elling¬ sworth. Other teachers shared spe¬ cial moments with their chil¬ dren before the summer end¬ ed. Mr. Glover took his son to New Orleans for a bit of Cajun living. “The major highlight of the trip was observing Bourbon Street at night,” he said. The great outdoors and the charms of nature attracted Guidance Counselor Mrs. Luck and Economics teacher Mrs. Tarver to vacation spots. Accompanied by her hus¬ band and two children, Mrs. Luck spent three days cascad¬ ing down the Grand Canyon only to climb back up again. “Our room overlooked the Canyon and my husband and I were able to see the sun com¬ ing up. It was a unique experi¬ ence,” said Mrs. Luck. Leaving her children be¬ hind, Mrs. Tarver spent 17 re¬ laxing days in Nags Head, North Carolina. “All I did was eat and sit on the beach, listening to the Iran-Contra hearings,” ex¬ plained Mrs. Tarver. “And, it only rained once during the 17 days!” For English teacher Mrs. Mary Davis, the highlight of the summer was a trip to En¬ gland. “I visited London, Oxford, Salisbury Plain, and Ystrad Mynach. I would go back in a heartbeat,” said Mrs. Davis. Faculty 107 MRS. VIVIAN DEAL: Guidance MRS. PATRICIA DENTON: Mathe¬ matics, Department Chair; Mu Alpha Theta Sponsor MR.

Master Chief Ralph Safford hands out raffle tickets to Choo- sak Patterson, Adrian Burrell, and Mike Morgan early in December. The NJROTC raffle was a major fund raiser for the unit. Faculty De-Hu Lessons plans ' way out ' V ariety, creativity, ingenuity, and phi¬ losophy were what made lesson plans “way out” in class after class throughout the school. Tapes, speakers, songs, games, oral dialogues, cultural experiences, and an assort¬ ment of visual aids were used by foreign language teachers to make the language and cul¬ ture real for students. “I make it a point to discuss the culture and way of life of the many Spanish speaking people and to give students practice in functioning in real- life Spanish situations,” said Spanish teacher Mrs. Pam Brown. For French teacher Mrs. Martha Graham, teaching in¬ volved a responsibility to the students. “Remember, that even though I might try and make it fun, I won’t compromise standards or make it easy. Stu¬ dents are here to learn,” ex¬ plained Mrs. Graham. It was, of course, primarily the teacher’s philosophy that determined the kinds of lesson plans students were exposed to. “I feel a teacher’s major task is to teach students responsi¬ bility and values that will help them be a successful citizen. Dates and facts are useless un¬ less they’re applied in every¬ day situations,” said Social Studies teacher Mr. Jerome Flow ers. “I try to tie in what is cov¬ ered into everyday life,” said Physical Education instructor Mr. Buddy Denton. Master Chief Ralph Safford found that his job with the NJROTC cadets involved a great deal of guidance. For Chief Safford, drills, training, and developing the proper at¬ titude took precedence over classroom lectures and pop quizzes. However, there were those days when even the most cre¬ ative teachers struggled to keep students’ attention. “When people look like zombies, I start cracking jokes or acting stupid to get their at¬ tention,” explained Mr. Flow¬ ers. Teaching, for most, was an enjoyable challenge. “I like teaching sophomores best, because they are a chal¬ lenge. There is a critical change during the year and it’s fun to be part of it,” said Mr. Denton. “REPEAT AFTER ME!” Mrs. Martha Graham teaches grammar to her French III class by putting ex¬ amples on the blackboard. “COME ON, KEEP WRIT¬ ING!” Mr. Jerome Flowers dictates the lesson to Joy Biggs during his sixth period social studies class.

The national emphasis on physical fitness encouraged a variety of activi¬ ties designed to improve over¬ all health. Old time fitness buffs, like Coach William Cawley and English teacher Ms. Donna Stephens, were role models for many faculty members. “I like many different types of exercise. Currently, my wor¬ kout is comprised of floor ex¬ ercise and a short aerobic ses¬ sion,” said Ms. Stephens. “I have always exercised in some form in order to stay in shape for sports. Now, it is a life-style commitment,” ex¬ plained Coach Cawley. Coach Cawley ran 50 miles a week and lifted weights twice a week at his fitness club to keep in shape. “I do it because it is impor¬ tant to me. It should be impor¬ tant to everyone,” said Coach Cawley. A new member of the staff, Master Chief Ralph Safford, impressed others with his in¬ tensive training for the Marine Corps Marathon. Others, concerned about their physical well-being, joi¬ ned Weight Watchers, en¬ rolled in aerobic classes, and took up walking. Guidance counselors Ms. Tedda Camp¬ bell and Mrs. Vivian Deal and teachers Mrs. Sue Smith, Mrs. Sara Alligood, and Mrs. Patri¬ cia Denton put on their run¬ ning shoes to walk the school halls during lunch or on their planning period. Mrs. Judy McPherson made a practice of walking to school each nice day. “When I walk, I feel better in the morning, especially when it is beautiful outside,” explained Mrs. McPherson. “Besides, it is good for my hips!” KEEPING IT LIGHT!

Goal: Improving climate S pearheaded by ad¬ ministrators and a CADRE (Collegial Association for the Development and Renewal of Educators) committee of 25 staff members, a plan to assess and improve school climate was initiated in December. Those involved adopted the motto of the CADRE Eastern Southern Regional Confer¬ ence, “Interaction: The Key to Success,” as theirs.

Each and every session made me more and more enthusias¬ tic about the effect that a school climate project could have on KHS,” said Ms. Betsy Forrest, Fine Arts Depart¬ ment Chair and a delegate to the conference. Key elements of the school climate project focused on high achievement for all, rec¬ ognition systems for all, re¬ sponsible student behavior systems, increased extra-cur¬ ricular activities, increased parent and community in¬ volvement, and development of school loyalty and spirit. “We have begun doing the groundwork by assessing needs and establishing some goals. I think the school is ready to begin the whole pro¬ cess,” explained Ms. Forrest. “Kecoughtan is a very good school,” continued Ms. For¬ rest. “But, I believe that if we focus on improving the overall climate of our school, Kec¬ oughtan can be a great school,” she added. The first steps in launching the continuing project includ¬ ed informing the entire faculty of the goals and aims of CAD¬ RE, assessing the particular needs of KHS, and encourag¬ ing a variety of activities to im¬ prove overall climate. “Everybody wants to enjoy going to a place where they go everyday. That’s what school climate is all about-that’s what we want to achieve,” con¬ cluded Ms. Forrest. Faculty THE GANG’S ALL HERE!

It was a struggle just to survive and students soon learned to rely on a variety of methods to handle academics. Whether it meant spending hours at night memorizing details or cramming information into a wea¬ ry mind, students “hung” in there. In the primary areas of aca¬ demics, English, math, and social studies, curriculums expanded and teaching methods improved. Electives and hands-on-classes provided a break from the unend¬ ing demands of mind games. “I loved my drafting class be¬ cause it gave me a chance to get my mind clear and work with my hands,” said junior George Cun¬ ningham. Regular school days were fre¬ quently interrupted by field trips and assemblies offering a tempo¬ rary reprieve from the daily grind. Seniors were given an incentive to excel when a second semester “A” or “B” average exempted them from final exams. “When I found out that we didn’t have to take exams, I real¬ ized that maybe we would ‘survive it all,’ so I began to work harder,” said senior Tricia Owens.

Answer: Winners of the Consitution Day dress-up contest. Patriotism was rampant in the halls as students cel¬ ebrated the 200th birthday of the Constitution, September 17. “We wanted everybody to get involved with the celebration and make people stop and think what Constitution Day was all about,” ex¬ plained Lisa Jones, SCA vice presi¬ dent. “I dressed up in red, white, and blue because I thought it was a neat idea and because my teachers en¬ couraged it. It showed respect for the Constitution,” said senior winner Gigi Mitchell. “I wore patriotic colors just for fun. I was surprised when I won be¬ cause I beat a girl wearing an Ameri¬ can flag. I think my scarf helped,” said freshman winner Pinar Erdagi. Always ready for an excuse to party, Mrs. Wanda Blelloch’s history classes celebrated with a cake. “We need extra activities like Constitution Day to make history come alive. The Preamble to the Constitution was on our cake and now I will never forget it,” said Mitchell. “I think everybody needs to read and understand the Constitu¬ tion. That does not mean that every¬ body must believe everything writ¬ ten in the document, but they must be open-minded about it,” said ju¬ nior Dana Rozar. Coach Revis Conrad’s and Coach William Cawley’s fourth peri¬ od government classes joined stu¬ dents from Bethel, Phoebus, and Hampton High Schools on a Bicen¬ tennial March down Settlers Land¬ ing Road to the campus of Hampton University. “It was a crazy, mixed up field trip. The ceremony at the Emanci¬ pation Oak at Hampton University was cancelled, the sound equipment people had an accident and never ar¬ rived, the march was delayed, and the field trip was cut 30 minutes short. Aside from all of that, I en¬ joyed listening to Virginia’s Attor¬ ney General, Mary Sue Terry, speak,” said senior John Darnell. Foreign Exchange students con¬ tributed a unique point of view. “Although I am not part of the celebration, I agree with the Consti¬ tutional ideals of democracy and lib¬ erty,” said French citizen Geff Marty. “Constitution Day was great! We have a similar day in Italy but we don’t celebrate it in school and we would not dress in green, red, and white. I love the way Americans cele¬ brated it,” said senior Diego D’Am- brosio.

The bell screamed at you as you passed through the doors and down the hall. You had five minutes to grab your books, finish your homework, study, and wake up before first period and the beginning of another school day. “I don’t like first period because I usually don’t wake up fully until 10 a.m. and I wish I had another hour to sleep in the morning,” said junior Cathy Peters. Nevertheless, in an effort to get students awake and thinking, first period teachers got right to the les¬ son at hand and devised various pro¬ jects and innovative lessons to start the day. On D and C halls, English classes presented creative book re¬ ports and acted out roles in such heavy works as “Julius Caesar.” On AB hall, the Mixed Chorus practiced for yet another concert and the band made harmonious sounds. Down Warrior Hall, the shop classes got out their tools and turned on ma¬ chines to work on semester projects. From Home Economics to AP History to Physical Education, first period classes helped set the tone for the day, as teachers took attendance, counted the “spirited ones” during Spirit Week, and performed a myr¬ iad of tasks. Students rated their first period class on a scale from 1 to 10 in a ran¬ dom survey. The results indicated that it was a combination of subject matter, teacher, and activity that kept students awake. Almost 40 per cent of those surveyed believed that P.E was the worst class to have first period. “Either you’re sweating your pants off or freezing something else off,” said sophomore Stephanie Bar¬ ber. Some students liked hard class¬ es first thing in the morning so that they could “get their brains going” for the rest of the day. Others felt that first period was a “drag.” “It’s one of the classes that I’m least attentive in,” said junior Jenni¬ fer Belihar. “If you have a hard class, you generally have a negative atti¬ tude the rest of the day.” Freshman Danny Anderson claimed to have the “first period blahs” solution. “The best class to have first pe¬ riod is study hall, so you can get your homework done,” said Anderson.

From calculators to computers SicwiuitV Machines assist in making school tasks easier C ries of frustration mixed with the sounds of computer keys clicking emanated from the AP Computer Math class in A 11, fifth period. The intensi¬ ty of students was obvious. They worked hard, but enjoyed their task and even had a good time. “I like working with computers because you get what you expect. You get whatever y ou put into them,” said junior Karl Otto. “A computer has no knowledge. It relies on you. I enjoy working with them, but sometimes it’s frustrating,” said senior JoAnne Carter. “I take computer math because I enjoy working with computers, and I may pursue a career in the computer field,” said junior Noel Spencer. In order to progress to computers, a knowledge of the typewriter key¬ board was essential. Typing was a pop¬ ular class with students because of the range of practical applications of the skill. “Typing is important. I know I’ll need it for college,” said junior Shawn Bender. “I don’t know what I would do if I could not type! It’s much faster than writing and helps with all my work,” said junior Greg Seward. Other classes that involved ma¬ chines included Home Economics, Wood Tech, and Power Transmission. Students in Food and Nutrition, Home Ec II, and Independent Living relied upon machines to make their tasks easier. From sewing machines to the microwave, students learned the practical uses and applications of ma¬ chines to daily living. “Machines, like dishwashers, help you get done faster. They sure make life a lot easier,” said freshman Patri¬ cia Hedrick. “It’s fun to learn about all of the different uses of machines in Home Ec. I love the class because I’ve learned to cook different foods,” said sophomore Stephanie Park. In shop classes, students used ma¬ chines, like the Dullpress and the Bandsaw, to complete projects. Shop students were proud of their hand¬ made creations. “Shop is a period of relaxation where I do what I like,” asid Wood Tech student junior Kevin Owens. FLYING FINGERS!

Second period was full of opportunities to make education exciting. History classes used games to bring the past alive. Mr. Jerome Flowers’ second period class played “Win, Lose, or Draw” by drawing on the board and using flashcards. “I learn a lot, but I have fun at the same time,” said junior Vivian Page. “Each Friday, in Mrs. Cleta Still’s history class, different stu¬ dents read news articles and pre¬ sented creative commercials,” said junior Crystal Stokes. In Sociology, second period, stu¬ dents studied social behavior and concerns by participating in a vari¬ ety of projects. Mr.Tyrus Woodard’s geometry class also seized every op¬ portunity to create excitement. “One guy fell asleep during class and we cut an inch of hair off of his head. Then we taped the hair on a piece of paper and gave it to him,” said junior Suzanne Melton. Second period for a group of seniors meant attending classes at the New Horizons Technical Center adjacent to Thomas Nelson Commu¬ nity College. The Magnet School, a division of the center, offered college courses in physics, chemistry, and biology. Classes began at 7:30 a.m. and lasted until 9:30 a.m. Students were involved in activ¬ ities such as dissecting cats, explor¬ ing caves, synthesizing aspirin, and building cars from mousetraps. The courses were stimulating and stu¬ dents were awarded three weighted high school credits. “Working in a college environ¬ ment teaches me to think. Also, the teacher doesn’t check homework, so it is up to the student to be responsi¬ ble. You don’t even have to go to class,” said senior Jennifer Kersis. Vocational-Technical students also attended second period at the New Horizons Center. Vo-tech of¬ fered trade skills to students not planning to attend college. Machin¬ ery, carpentry, auto mechanics, draf¬ ting, and cosmetology were offered. “At Vo-tech, you can learn any trade you want. If you turn out to be good at it, it will pay off in the end,” said junior Alex Haughton. “SMILE, YOU’RE ON CAMERA!” Despite the distraction of some class mem¬ bers, Mrs. Cleta Still conducts a seminar on explorers with her junior history class.

Second Period Psych classes play ' mind games ' Psychology, the study of mind and behavior, was an elective subject for students in the Social Studies Department. The course was taught by Drama Club Sponsor Mrs. Mary Tarver. “Psychology is a subject stu¬ dents can relate to everyday life. It should aid them in becoming better parents, spouses, and friends,” said Mrs. Tarver. The first semester in Psychol¬ ogy began with a history of the subject and continued with such topics as learning patterns of people, sensation perceptions, dreams, and emotions. Those students who chose to take the second semester of Psychology were able to deal with more in- depth topics, including psycho¬ logical testing and coping with stress. The year ended with a re¬ search project in a specific area of interest. “Hopefully, students under¬ stand themselves, as well as others, better once they’ve com¬ pleted this course that ultimate¬ ly helps them to lead a happier life,” said Mrs. Tarver. “I’m interested in Psychology because I hope to gain a better understanding of myself. But, I also enjoy being in the class. Mrs. Tarver is an enjoyable teacher and we get a lot of ‘hands-on’ experience,” said se¬ nior Ashley James. “GUESS WHAT IT IS?” Mrs. Mary Tarver blindfolds Shawn Bailey for a tasting experiment in Psychology. “PSSST!

Should I cheat or not? . • Students go to great lengths to make the grade A s John sat in math class and the minutes ticked away, he realized going to the movies last night was a mistake. He should have stayed at home and studied. He knew this test meant passing or failing the class, but, somehow, last night, the movie seemed more important. Now, he was in a bind. He glanced at the pa¬ per of a classmate sitting beside him- the teacher wasn’t looking. “It would be so easy to copy the answers for numbers four and five,” thought John. “Should I cheat or not?” “Everyone cheats, at least ev¬ eryone I know,” said junior Scott Curtis. Common methods of cheating were writing on a piece of paper and putting it in a glasses case, writing in pencil on the desk, putting a “cheat sheet” in a sock, and taping a piece of paper with the answers on it to the back of the desk in front Some of the more creative methods students in Mr. John Kar- atsikis’ fifth period class invented included wrapping a small “cheat sheet” around a pen, then putting the pen cap back on; carving geome¬ try theorems and postulates on a pencil; writing answers on a finger¬ nail; and communicating with an¬ other classmate by tapping on a desk or holding up fingers for the differ¬ ent letters of the alphabet. Students’ excuses for cheating were generally the same-they did not study and could not afford to get a bad grade on the test. Imagine what a zero would do to an average! Teachers were forced to resort to strict tactics to combat the prob¬ lem of cheating. “My policy is that if you are talking, you are cheating. There are no excuses and the student receives a zero on that test. I have had no problems with either students or parents objecting,” said History teacher Mr. Karatsikis. “Because I teach English, I have an advantage,” said Mrs. Polly But¬ ler. “My tests are essay and short an¬ swer questions. When I do give a vo¬ cabulary test, I have the students write sentences to avoid any prob¬ lems,” she explained. Still, students continued to cheat. “I think everyone is faced with some sort of pressure in their life that forces them to cheat or be dis¬ honest,” said a student in Mrs. Al¬ berta Boyd’s second period class. “This is not to say that cheating is right or that every student who cheats is bad, but rather that it is the way life is,” he explained. “Getting caught is the only solu¬ tion to the problem,” said one wise freshman, who spoke from personal experience.

The wide variety of classes scheduled, from English, math, and history to Economics and Market¬ ing, offered students a range of choices. Other options during Third Pe¬ riod included attending several spe¬ cial assemblies during the year, in¬ cluding a Black History assembly in February for Black History Month. In many third period classes, students filled their minds with equations and formulas. One such class was Pre-Calculus taught by Mrs. Barbara Young. “Mrs. Young has a unique teaching method. She involves stu¬ dents by having them actually tell her how to solve a problem. There is always a lot of activity going on be¬ cause everyone has a different way to solve problems,” said junior Sta¬ cey Faulk.

Wall Street, stock prices, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average held the attention of Mrs. Mary Tarver’s third period Economics class. “As a major project, each of us was given $10,000 to invest in stocks as we pleased. Unfortunately, we got the money about four weeks after the market crashed in October and I couldn’t buy when prices were low,” said junior Lisa Anderson. Seniors in Mrs. Alberta Boyd’s English class third period were often called upon to role-play characters in novels and act out scenes. A form¬ er drama teacher, Mrs. Boyd be¬ lieved in oral presentations. Korean, German, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Italian students at¬ tended classes in American culture, history, and English at Phoebus High School. “The class has helped my En¬ glish. I really needed grammar. We also read novels and studied authors such as Edgar Allan Poe,” said Japa¬ nese exchange student senior Mo- toko Fujikawa. Third Period Drafting prepares for ' real world’ Students interested in draft¬ ing and technical fields had opportunities to expand their horizons in three classes. First year students studied Basic Technical Drawing, sec¬ ond year students took Engi¬ neering Drawing, and third year students took Architectural Drawing. Basic Technical Drawing, taught by Mr. Ruben Daniels, acquainted students with the basic language of industry and technology. “I gained a background of skills and an understanding of the broad range of mechanical drawing or drafting,” said junior Derek Neal. “The first year class really helped me realize that I was in¬ terested in a field that dealt with drafting,” said junior Phillip Schlosshan. The language of industry is necessary for engineers, manu¬ facturers, and technicians. “Mr. Daniels continued teach¬ ing drawing problems, skills, and techniques he had taught first year, but more emphasis was placed on interpretation of in¬ dustrial prints, use of handbooks and resource materials, and a stronger adherence to the stan¬ dards of drafting,” explained ju¬ nior Jason Schwartz. Mr. Pennie Brown taught the third year technical drawing class entitled Architectural Drawing. Fundamentals of ar¬ chitecture were stressed in the class of 25 students, most of them seniors. “We started by making sketches of rooms. Then, we made a blueprint specifying ev¬ erything to scale. Later, we had to build a model of the room we had first sketched,” explained one of the few juniors in the class, Lisa Anderson. Drafting classes provided stu¬ dents with excellent preparation for “the real world.” PROJECT PANIC! In the library during lunch, Yvette Jarvis finishes a Home Eco¬ nomics assignment by adding last minute information to a poster. SERIOUS STUDIER! Concentrating on the task at hand, Glenn LaVezzi does his English homework in the cafeteria. 128 Drafting Students use lunch to study Suwiviay it 35-minute break ideal time to finish assignments T he lunch-bell rang and starving students rushed to the cafeteria for a 40- minute break from class- all students, that is, who did not have unfinished hom ework due fifth peri¬ od or a paper due in sixth period. Rather than head for lengthy lunch lines, many students went elsewhere to do their homework. Although some students sprawl¬ ed out in the halls and others sat in the cafeteria, many “delinquents” were found at tables in the library. For juniors, who notoriously had a heavy workload, lunch was some¬ times the only time to catch up on assignments. “If I have an extreme amount of homework, I try to do it at lunch. I’m sure Mrs. Young, my pre-Calculus teacher, would love to hear this, but I usually finish the math that I did not understand the night before at lunch,” said junior Wendy Walter. Some people were spotted regu¬ larly in the library during lunch, but others came only when it was neces¬ sary. Apparently the library promot¬ ed more of a social atmosphere than an intellectual one. “The library is boring. The only time that I can do homework there is at the beginning or end of lunch when it is not noisy. I do come every day to talk to friends, though,” said sophomore Kim Copeland. “I went to the library during lunch to study quite a bit last year. However, the talking and frequent outbursts made it quite impossible,” said senior John Darnell, an ex¬ lunchtime studier. In the cafeteria, students, obliv¬ ious to the noise and confusion around them, used the break to fin¬ ish assignments. “I don’t do any of my homework at home. Every day at lunch, I do ge¬ ometry for fifth period and some¬ times Psychology for sixth period,” said senior Mike Schmidt. “I always seem to get everything done.” L TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Spread out in the library during lunch, Joe Behan races with the clock to finish a pre-calculus as¬ signment for sixth period. V A HANGIN’ OUT! Shanna Young finds that the hallway, during lunch, is sometimes the best place to do her homework for fifth peri¬ od. IT’S EASIER WITH A FRIEND!

Lunch-study Hunger pangs strike in class Students compete with noisy halls during fourth B onjour, comment- allez vous?” was a common greeting heard in Mrs. Car- lene Yates’ French classes each day. Students and teacher had to com¬ pete with the chatter of students and the banging and clashing of lockers in the hall during fourth period. Nevertheless, they read short stories like “Eugenie Grandet,” and acted out skits from a French restaurant. “As a major project, we went to Phillips Elementary School to teach French to the fifth and sixth graders. We wanted to encourage them to take French in high school,” explain¬ ed senior Michelle Harry. The atmosphere of the class had much to do with students’ opinions of it. “I enjoyed having French fourth period. The atmosphere was open and there was not as much pressure as in other classes. We also got to cre¬ ate our own activities to improve our French,” said junior Julie Boyer. Other students did not share such an optimistic view of their fourth period. Numbers, postulates, and theorems haunted them. “I guess I liked Algebra I fourth period. Lunch afterwards gave me a chance to do my homework and not have to take it home,” said sopho¬ more Candi Stevenson. Fourth period was the “over- the-hump” mark for many students. “I was fully awake by fourth which was important for math. Plus, once I got through fourth period, I only had two more classes during the day,” said freshman Diana Durham. Many students suffered acute hunger pangs during their fourth pe¬ riod class but managed to survive until lunch. “Even though it was sometimes hard to pay attention in fourth peri¬ od government because I was tired or hungry, Coach Conrad explained things so that it was easy to under¬ stand,” said senior Heather Graham. “I enjoyed fourth period gov¬ ernment because it was such an in¬ teresting class and afterwards I had lunch so I could talk to classmates about what went on in class, such as elections, current events, and so forth,” said senior Michael Schmidt. “IT’S BETTER THAN CLASS!” Fran¬ ces Bennett, Kristin Siemann, and Eleanor Magers look over brochures they are to pass out on Election Day for government.

The day before she died, she said that she had had a great day at school and had a great sched¬ ule.” Mrs. Tarkenton’s home away from home was A-7 where she taught geometry, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra II. Her math classes were never ordinary. “She had a good sense of hu¬ mor and knew how to get along with her students,” said junior Mi¬ chael Newby. Her joking and humor were not limited to the classroom. “She had always been jovial and joking. She was a practical jok¬ er. You never knew what to expect next,” said Social Studies teacher Mrs. Sara Alligood. Mrs. Alligood and Mrs. Tarkenton taught at Hampton High School together and were good friends. Mrs. Tarkenton’s friends also saw a more serious and sensitive side of her personality. “She was very conscientious. She was a caring and sincere per¬ son,” said Mrs. Alligood. A spirited Warrior, Mrs. Tar¬ kenton took part in pep rallies, Faculty Frolics, and played the role of the teacher in the Drama Club’s musical “Grease”. ilk. Mrs. Martha Tarkenton July 4, 1939-September 1, 1987 Fourth Period PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! Es¬ ther Han and Susan Margulies practice se¬ lections in the band room to present at the monthly Band Parents’ meeting. Music makes the world rock PERFECT HARMONY! Harbor Lights members, Eric Williamson and Cathy Tho¬ mas, take center stage in the annual Christ¬ mas Choral Assembly, December 18. Students find pleasure in performing for others S ilence! The conductor tapped on the podium with his baton. The musicians were watching alertly. Final¬ ly, the sound began. Drums beating, cymbals clashing, trombones sliding, tubas oompahing, and trumpets blaring - the band was at work and Band Director Mr. Paul Ferguson was in charge. Band members were a dedicated and talented group. Practice for the marching band began in August. It took a great deal of discipline and pa¬ tience to practice under a blazing sun or in the humidity of a rainy day. “Surprisingly, there were no ca¬ sualties or people fainting from the heat,” said senior Susan Margulies. Most students enjoyed band be¬ cause of their special instrument. “I like the trumpet because of the beautiful sound it makes,” said sophomore Kermit Buggs. “I play the baritone because it is an instrument that has an important part in music and the auditions are highly competitive,” said sophomore Jane Marie Justice. The band participated in home football games with its new song, “La Bamba.” It also performed in the Phoebus D ay Parade, the Daily Press Christmas Concert, and school as¬ semblies. Individual members audi¬ tioned for such honors as All-State Band and All-State Jazz Band. Chorus members also spent a great deal of time surrounded by mu¬ sic. For them, music made the world rock! Whether in the shower, driving a car, walking down the hall, or sit¬ ting in class, they practiced their numbers. “I sing everywhere I go!” said ju¬ nior Shawn Tarver. The chance to perform before an audience was a rewarding experience for the singers. “I like to sing and dance and make people smile. It is the best thing I could ever do,” said senior Dawn Casavant. Ms. Betsy Forrest, chorus direc¬ tor, taught a variety of chorus classes. Students had the option of taking A Cappella Choir, Mixed Chorus, Mu¬ sic Theory, or Show Choir. Talented students auditioned for Harbor Lights Show Choir, a select group of singers and dancers. The annual Christmas Concert, presented by the chorus classes, in¬ cluded holiday music ranging from the gospel selection “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” to the contempo¬ rary “Somewhere Out There.” “We included a variety of music in our concert to try and please ev¬ eryone,” said Ms. Forrest.

WATCH FOR THE CUE! Percussion¬ ists Forrest Burtnette and Brian Nikitas keep their eyes on the music during summer practice in the band room. 133 Band and Chorus Theories relate to every impact on personal lives make M olly Ringwald became part of the curriculum and acted her way into the hearts of Ms. June Tharpe’s fifth period Health Class. In a movie about teen suicide, Ring¬ wald helped students learn how to deal with such a tragedy. “We learned what to do if some¬ one is suicidal. We watched the mov¬ ie ‘Surviving’ in which two teenagers in love killed themselves by carbon monoxide poisoning. It was sad and a lot of people cried,” said sopho¬ more Pam Liv ermore. Despite the gruesome nature of the film, the message had an impact. Many students agreed that they would seek help for someone even if it might be an embarrassing situa¬ tion. In contrast to the human-nature aspects of Health, physics and chem¬ istry taught students to deal with phenomenon such as the laws of thermo-dynamics. Physics teacher Mr. John Quinn often demonstrated physical principles by relating them to properties of airplanes. “He teaches so that we can re¬ late physics to everyday situations,” said senior Joella Clardy. Likewise, Mrs. Deborah Mor¬ timer’s chemistry students conduct¬ ed a variety of experiments to learn about everyday occurrences. Physical principles also applied to the lessons taught in Driver’s Ed¬ ucation. The dangers of reckless driving impressed students in the nine weeks course. “Drinking and driving movies, like ‘Crash Course,’ scared us into re¬ alizing the seriousness of combining drinking with driving,” said sopho¬ more Suzanne Giordano. “We learned how to drive responsibly,” she said. Students enrolled in art classes had opportunities to use their cre¬ ative skills during fifth period. Painting and basic design were the courses taught by art instructors Mrs. Cheryl Carter and Mrs. Laurie Smith. “My mother is an art teacher and she influenced me to take paint¬ ing as an elective,” said junior An¬ drew Penso. “I really like the course and painting has become a hobby of mine, but I don’t have plans to pur¬ sue art as a future career,” he said. “FIRST MEASURE THE CYLIN¬ DER!” Anthony Prata, Conchitina Su- tingco, and Antwanette Hailey begin a chemistry lab as the substitute , Science Supervisor Mr. Dale Rose, watches the group’s progress.

Class boredom strikes any time! The teacher droned on and on. Time seemed to have stopped and the classroom was so warm it was impossible not to doze away. Class boredom had struck again! “Everyday, everybody I know gets bored in class. Study Hall is the worst. We are spread apart so that no one can talk. I think that a little bit of noise is neces¬ sary to concentrate. Otherwise, it’s like studying in a vacuum. After a while, you go crazy,” said senior Derrick Lewis. Was there a solution? How did students avoid their boredom? “I like to daydream. It’s fun to imagine what it would be like to burst into the classroom with sunglasses, jams, a keg, and loud music and have a party right then and there,” said Lewis. “I talk when I get bored, but then I usually get into trouble,” said sophomore Chris Williams. “In my class before lunch, I’m hungry and find it hard to con¬ centrate. So, I draw pictures,” said junior Will Rhodes. “I’ll do anything to deal with boredom: write notes, do home¬ work, count the holes in the ceil¬ ing, even picture my teacher in a strip joint,” said senior Danny Raymond. Even teachers were bored oc¬ casionally and devised unique lesson plans to counteract bore¬ dom. Guest speakers, field trips, skits, and holding class outside were some solutions. CLASS BOREDOM STRIKES AGAIN! Fredrick Clark takes a snooze during his fifth period class. 135 Fifth Period Guidance staff is a friend! Department provides opportunities for students CC S ince I’m a new student this year, I am in the Guidance Department all of the time. My Guidance Coun¬ selor, Mrs. Deal, is more than just a high school official, she’s someone to talk to-a friend!” said junior transfer student Cathie Neumayer. Although all students did not have such close ties to Guidance Counselors, they were dependent upon the department for transcripts, counseling, and class scheduling. Specialized services were pro¬ vided for each grade level. Ninth graders received special atten¬ tion from Guidance. The counselors were sensitive to the fact that freshmen needed orientation. “High school is a wonderful mixture of freedom and responsibility. We try to help them adjust to this lack of control,” said Mrs. Karen Kolet, director of guid¬ ance. Sophomores were the focus of a Career Unit that provided opportunities to ex¬ plore job interests. “I plan to major in computer science. My guidance counselor helped me arrange to take a senior computer course that I wanted to take,” said sophomore Marcus Carter. Juniors found it important to commu¬ nicate with counselors as they began to give serious thought to needed credits, career plans, and prospective col¬ leges. “My counselor helped me make a lot of choices this year. When PSAT results came in, she explained the test and how it was scored. She encouraged thought about future goals, such as what kind of college degree I would need to become a so¬ cial worker,” said junior Kristin Obeck. Seniors were perhaps the only students to be fully aware of the ser¬ vices provided by the Guidance De¬ partment. The endless process of ap¬ plying to college was made easier by counselors. Tireless secretaries pro¬ cessed all of the transcripts request¬ ed while Counselor Mrs. Alma Luck specialized in helping seniors gain scholarship money. In addition to its heavy work load, a new, demanding job for Guid¬ ance, assisted by homeroom teach¬ ers, was the administering of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (TAP) to all underclassmen, March 21-23.

Making the last hour bearable -— - ' - _— ' Unique teaching styles spark student interest S ixth period was either a bless¬ ing or a curse! Certainly it was the last hour of a long day-the last class to survive-but it of¬ ten seemed to be the longest. No two classes were exactly alike. Varied styles of teaching accounted for the difference. Down the 800 Corridor, one might have thought a drill team was at work, but it was only freshmen, dressed in white socks, shorts, and T-shirts, who were arranged in squad lines doing Jumping Jacks, toe touches, and Mountain Climbers. “P.E. sixth period isn’t too bad because then I can just go home after working out. I make sure that I dress out because, if we don’t, we have to write three page reports on whatever sport we are in at the time,” said fresh¬ man Mindy Hollingsworth. “I consider sixth period more of a social hour,” said freshman Amy Stockburger, who also took P.E. One might have been startled as they walked by C-15 and heard Herr Horne proclaim, “I’ve had fruitcake enough for a maggot,” or “If I were you, I don’t think camels need that much water!” Actually, he was just demonstrating the subjunctive form of verbs. “To teach German, he makes up phrases. Whether they make sense or not, they show the relationship of the phrase from German to English, or En¬ glish to German,” explained senior El¬ eanor Magers. Business meant hard work for stu¬ dents in Introduction to Business. “The living budget I did really made me think about the cost of things. The things I really like, like junk food, movies, and expensive clothes, ruined my budget,” said fresh¬ man Vicki Pardue. A lively discussion of the upcom¬ ing presidential election, the Iran-Iraq War, or even an argument about smok¬ ing areas in schools were discussed in government classes. “Mr. Cawley made government interesting because the class was not taught just by the book. We learned by discussing current events,” said senior Tim Wood. Gifted freshmen took English sixth period and were often challenged by unique writing assignments. “I don’t know where Mrs. Vann gets some of her ideas for writing as¬ signments, but they are always inter¬ esting. For example, one day she gave us this to write on: “A sharp tongue and a dull mind are often found in the same head,” said freshman Adrienne Brown. STRETCHIN’!

Marketing prepares for future Students put to use skills learned in classroom A lthough the name of the curriculum was different, Marketing Education as opposed to Distributive Education, the course continued to prepare students for careers in the business world. Classes and activities were designed to teach students about distributing, selling, and merchandis¬ ing a product. The annual Christmas Craft Shop, managed and run by Marketing students, was crowded with a large va¬ riety of handmade crafts and was an unqualified success. “It is the best way I know for stu¬ dents to put to use what they have learned,” said Marketing Education Co-ordinator Mrs. Pam Szynal. “The sophomores were in charge of publici¬ ty, the juniors took care of pricing, and the seniors were responsible for the ac¬ tual set up of the store and crafts,” she explained. Marketing students also partici¬ pated in competitions on the district and state level. Seniors Rob Schmidt, Michelle Cretella, Kim Conner, Tam¬ my Smith, and Tanya Barnes and sophomore Jenny Ward and junior Dennis Miller won in districts and at¬ tended the 45th Annual State Conven¬ tion in Arlington, Virginia, March 11. Cretella won 3rd Place in Man¬ agement Supervision for Food Mar¬ keting and Barnes was named a final¬ ist for her Philip Petroleum Free En¬ terprise Project. “State competition was a totally different experience than district’s. It was harder and there were more peo¬ ple. All of us had a lot of fun making new friends and representing KHS,” said Cretella. Fashion Merchandising was more than just an ordinary class. Students learned marketing skills by helping with fashion shows and working with fashion merchandisers in Thalhimers and other local stores. Students also listened to guest speakers, watched videos, and read fashion magazines for information. “We go on different field trips to interesting and unusual places,” said junior Trina Copeland. Some of the guest speakers were Evelyn Keedy from the Art Institute of Atlanta, Montgomery Wards per¬ sonnel manager, and a Key Business College representative. Topics for dis¬ cussion ranged from Job Interviews to “Shopping Prevention.” The class took field trips to Wash¬ ington, D.C., Waterside, and New York City where members went on a Fifth Avenue shopping spree and took in the sights of the “Big Apple.” FASHION MERCHANDISING - FRONT ROW: Gina Serafini, Shannon Sta¬ cey, Anna Stuteville, Cheryl Moreland, Sus¬ an Berry, Cassandra Cordon, Valerie John¬ son.

Marketing Education Typical class hectic, wild Journalists handle controversy, peer complaints T he typewriters click away, people scurry around the room and rush in and out of the door. Pictures get cropped, papers are scattered about, and layout boards cover the tables. It is a typical day in room CD26. “The class is hectic and wild. It’s so busy with everyone rushing around. You have to be quick. The pace motivates me to do well,” said junior Scott Curtis. Student journalists had to deal daily with criticism from their peers and this placed added pressure on students who were constantly trying to meet deadlines. “People are always complaining about how the newspaper looks be¬ cause they don’t understand all the work involved in putting it togeth¬ er,” said senior Angie Crewe. “If they did, they would appreciate the great job that we do!” Taking journalism, however, was more than just putting a publi¬ cation together. Journalism I and II students wrote reams of copy for both the newspaper and the year¬ book. The course was essentially a writing course and students enrolled split the tasks of publishing both the newspaper and the yearbook. “It’s a lot of hard work and we have to learn to sacrifice some of our weekends and holidays, but it’s worth it in the long run when we see the results and win an award,” said senior Frances Bennett. “I like to have the direct respon¬ sibility of the paper and be part of such a productive force,” said Co- Editor of Tribal Tales Kristy Alli- good. “Working on the paper is chal¬ lenging, but it is also rewarding.” Journalism students delved into controversial issues for many of their articles. They were particularly con¬ cerned with the Supreme Court deci¬ sion on high school censorship and how it might affect publication. “I like to make others aware of important issues that most teen¬ agers feel are unimportant. We write about all sorts of controversial things, like AIDS, sex education, and politics. I hope we never get cen¬ sored,” said junior Kristin Obeck. TEAM WORK! Craig Leaphart, Eleanor Magers, Stacie Neal, and Hugh Milteer work side by side as they design and proof pages for Tribal Tales. “WHERE ARE THOSE DARN THINGS!” Co-Editor of Tribal Tales Kristy Alii good sorts through material from the typesetter in search of datelines for the pa¬ per.

Journalism Unit training fosters pride Suwivi ' W M Cadets gain self-discipline in leadership roles I t was Thursday and you walked down the halls to class feeling taller and prouder of yourself than on Wednesday. Thursday was the day you wore your Navy blues to school and somehow it changed your attitude. You knew you had ear¬ ned respect by being a part of the Na¬ val Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. “I have acquired the benefits and values of being in the military along with learning the most important les¬ son of all which was to assume re¬ sponsibility and gain a sense of per¬ sonal leadership,” said senior Cadet Petty Officer Luther Banks.” “The cadets in NJROTC learned, in addition to the basics, about personal capabilities and strengths.” “Tve discovered how to deal with people by coaching them to accom¬ plish goals as a group,” said Cadet Lt. Commander senior Nick Giacobe. “Tve gotten to know myself in ways and find out my limitations,” said senior Cadet Petty Officer First Class Dan Fagan. “I became a leader after being a follower the majority of my life,” said senior Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Darren Holly. The NJROTC unit welcomed a new assistant Naval Science Instruc¬ tor, Master Chief Petty Officer Ralph Safford, in September. “I’ve noticed an increased amount of participation and effort on the students’ behalf since Master Chief Safford joined us,” said Lt. Commander Beale Kinsey. The unit participated in numer¬ ous parades and community events and was present at all home football games. It also took part in field events at the University of Virginia and won a top award competing against schools on the East Coast. “The awards ceremony was prof¬ itable for individuals and the unit,” said Master Chief Safford. Part of the curriculum consisted of touring the USS John Marshall, a submarine, and the USS Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier in Norfolk. Cadets also learned fire-fighting techniques. In class participation and drill prac¬ tice were mental and physical experi¬ ences for the cadets. “I sharpen my everyday skills through marching and cadence,” said Cadet Ensign senior Valencia Ervin. Accepting discipline and criti¬ cism and assuming responsibility for others taught the cadets how to han¬ dle tasks as a team. “By learning self-discipline, I can control my temper better and I have learned to be patient,” said se¬ nior Cadet Petty Officer Second Class Carla Henderson. At the annual inspection in March, the unit “did well,” according to Chief Safford. In June, The Chief of Naval Education and Training, Admiral Thunman, designed the school as a Naval Honor School.

CONSTITUTION DAY : Cadets Teresa Vautaw, Rhonda Stevens, Choosak Patter¬ son, and Robert Bergeron, members of the NJROTC Color Guard, stand at attention during Constitution Day ceremonies at Hampton University, September 17. Military offers equal opportunity With patriotism once again a vir¬ tue and a change in society’s attitude about the military since the Viet Nam conflict a reality, many students found a career in the armed forces a positive alternative to college or a civilian job. The challenging aspects of the mili¬ tary and the numerous opportunities for education and security were attrac¬ tive benefits, among others. “My father is in the military and I look forward to traveling about the world. Meeting different people and becoming friends with them is great. It is hard, however, to leave them be¬ hind when we move,” said senior John Whelan. The service offered equal oppor¬ tunities for men and women and an in¬ creased effort on the part of the mili¬ tary to recruit women was evident, not only after high school, but also during high school. Twenty per cent more women were active in the Naval Junior Re¬ serve Officers Training Corps during the ’87-’88 school year. “If he can do it, I can do it too,” asserted senior Jackqueline Ward. All four Hampton High Schools had increased enrollments in their ROTC programs. Each school spon¬ sored a separate branch of the mili¬ tary: Hampton High-Air Force, Bethel High-Army, Phoebus High-Marines, and Kecoughtan-Navy. High school training prepared students for careers in the military and often assured them of higher ranking positions when they finished basic training. Benefits of the service included retirement pensions after 20 years, free medical care, military housing, commissary and post or base exchange privileges. Jobs ranged from secretari¬ al work to advanced computer exper¬ tise. As long as an individual remained in the service, he or she was guaran¬ teed a job. Educational opportunities for those who qualify were also an at¬ tractive bonus of military service. Senior Nick Giacobe, Cadet Lt. Commander of the Naval ROTC unit and a future Air Force cadet, planned on a future in the military. “The service benefits and oppor¬ tunities make up a ‘military package’ that service families look forward to,” said Giacobe. “I am looking forward to the Air Force Academy and a future in the military.” 145 NJROTC Newsreel-Newsreel-Newsreel-Newsreel- U nheard of before 1983, Acquired Im¬ mune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, made headlines during 1987 and 1988. The news was filled with re¬ ports of children barred from school and families ostracized be¬ cause of the disease. There were nearly fifty thou¬ sand cases of AIDS in the United States during 1987. Researchers were projecting at least two hun¬ dred thousand cases in the U.S. by 1990 and as high as ten million cases worldwide. No longer just a “gay” disease, AIDS was also a heterosexual threat. AIDS became a celebrity issue when Rock Hudson died of the disease and Elizabeth Taylor be¬ gan to raise money for AIDS re¬ search. Almost nine million dol¬ lars was contributed to the Eliza¬ beth Taylor American Founda¬ tion for AIDS in 1987. Condoms were seen where they had never been mentioned before- on television when the Surgeon General issued a medical report stating that “barring abstinence, condoms are the best protection from the disease.” Monday, October 19, 1987, the New York Stock Exchange fell over five hundred points in less than seven hours.

The Making O nce upon a time in a land of Warriors, Crabbers, Bruins, and Phantoms, a teenage girl named Kathy Kec- oughtan awoke at 6:30 a.m. to the sound of her alarm. Jumping into the shower, she remem¬ bered it was Friday and knew the weekend was at hand. She brushed her long, curly mane of hair and teased her bangs. De¬ ciding to be different for a change, she looked through the jumble of combs and hairbands, finally choosing a banana clip. Rushing to her room and throwing open her closet, Kathy thumbed through the cardigan and crew neck sweat¬ ers, tweed and checked pants, button down shirts, long skirts and dresses hanging there. She settled on a turtleneck, stone- washed denim mini-skirt, and a baggy sweater. She fumbled through the pile of ankle and knee-length boots, flats, and sneakers to locate her Bass shoes, known as “blitchers,” “grungies,” “Sebagoes,” or “beenies.” Meanwhile, Kathy’s boy¬ friend, Willie Warrior, awak¬ ened, took a shower, and dress¬ ed in a WRV sweatshirt, black denim jeans, and sneakers. He ran his fingers through his flat top and put on a dab of Polo. As he grabbed his CB jacket and walked out to his Suzuki Samurai, Kathy was applying base, powder, and a light pink blush, along with a touch of eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mas¬ cara, finishing off with a rosy pink lipstick and a squirt of Ob¬ session. She glanced at her re- of a Warrior flection to be sure her make-up was subtle and natural. One last look in the mirror told Kathy that she had over¬ looked jewelry. Hurriedly, she rummaged through the Swatches, large bold earrings, and woven friendship bracelets that she no longer wore, to reach her small gold earrings and necklace, the signet ring that Wil¬ lie gave her, and the A c - cess watch deco¬ rated with moons and stars. At the sound of Wil- lie’s horn, Kathy grabbed her long wool coat and bound¬ ed out the door. On the way to Burger King for breakfast, the couple discussed a sking trip set for the following weekend, com¬ pared notes on their English home¬ work, and promised to meet later.

After kissing Willie War¬ rior goodbye, Kathy and Tam¬ my rushed off to first period gym where they dressed out in Spuds McKenzie and Califor¬ nia Raisins sweatshirts and plaid Bermuda shorts. Like many oth¬ er teenagers, the girls felt keeping in shape was important and worked out in the gym as well as at home. During lunch, the girls had just enough time to grab a salad and milk shake before meeting in the library to study. Tammy and Kathy quizzed each other until the 5th period bell rang. The day dragged on as usual until 2:35 p.m. when the final bell rang and everyone dashed out to spend their free time as they pleased. Willie decided to go surfing at Croatan in Virgin¬ ia Beach, so Kathy invited Tammy to her house to watch rented movies on the VCR, play “Pictionary” and “Scruples,” and plan their tennis m atch on Saturday morning.

On their way to a party, the couple talked about going to Virginia Beach for a shopping spree at WRV, 17th Street Surf Shop, and Hotline. They found a party to attend, but, on the way, they stopped off at Check¬ ers. At Checkers, Kathy and Willie grabbed a coke be fore hit¬ ting the dance floor. Willy also played a game of pool before they left for the party. Once there, they saw several of their friends from Kecough- tan and met some new people from other schools. Following a night of socializ¬ ing and having a good time, the two stopped off at a frozen yo¬ gurt shop to get a taste of a new flavor. By then, it was nearing 12 midnight, curfew time, so Kathy and Willie headed for home and a goodnight kiss. So ended a typical day in the life of a Warrior. It had been, as it always was, a rough, but ex¬ citing and thrilling day in a teenage world where clothing, jewelry, hairstyles, make-up, pastimes, and even the choice of a restaurant made an important statement.

Mini Mag 149 Comedy, terror attract teen movie buffs S tarring Glenn Close, a graduate of William and Mary, “Fatal Attraction” was considered by many the “hottest” movie of the year. Although Ms. Close and the film failed to win any Oscars, teen mov¬ ie buffs found the film exciting. The movie was about obsession and one woman’s demented reaction to a ca¬ sual affair. Ms. Close, after a casual fling with a married man, played by Mi¬ chael Douglas, becomes obsessive when he rejects her. She first kid¬ naps his young daughter and then “HERE’S SEAN!” Actor Sean Penn appears on the “Tonight Show” with host Johnny Carson to discuss his latest role as a Califor¬ nia cop in the film “Colors. ” attempts to kill his wife. The movie ends with the brutal stabbing of Ms. Close by Douglas’s wife. ‘“Fatal Attraction’ was one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life! I was on the edge of my seat during the entire movie,” said ju¬ nior Stephanie Raines. ‘“Fatal Attraction’ was so good! It’s really scary to think that there are people in the world who get so obsessed with another person that they will kill to have them,” said se¬ nior Lisa Hicks. Comedian Eddie Murphy starred in another block-buster film entitled “Raw.” Murphy’s monologue was packed with hilari¬ ous and explicit details about ev¬ erything from his childhood experi¬ ences to celebrity marriages. “Eddie Murphy really outdid himself! The movie was a scream. I loved it!” said senior Stacey Lee Bouton. “I’ve seen many of Eddie Mur¬ phy’s movies but I especially liked this one because he was live in con¬ cert,” explained sophomore Shunda Smith. Another film that drew rave reviews from teens was “School Daze,” written, direct¬ ed and produced by Spike Lee. “School Daze” was about racial dis¬ crimination and prejudices among light-skinned and dark-skinned blacks. Set on a college campus, the film had great appeal for younger audiences. “I liked ’School Daze’ because I enjoy watching fraternities com¬ pete. There was a lot of dancing in the movie,” said freshman Joyce Sumpter. CHECK HIM OUT!

Each movie goer had his or her choice for best film of the year. One controversial film was “Colors.” Theater managers in some large cities requested in¬ creased security when the film opened. Fear of violence was their main concern. “ ‘Colors’ was a great movie! It had a lot of action and the theme song by rap star Ice T was the per¬ fect song for the movie,” said senior Paul Sanders. Although Vietnam veterans could relate to “Good Morning Vietnam” far more than the teens who viewed it, the movie drew large crowds. “I really enjoyed ‘Good Morning Vietnam!’ Robin Williams was ex¬ cellent!” explained junior Cathy Peters. “‘Beetlejuice’ was a funny mov¬ ie. It showed the funny side of life after death and poltergeist,” said freshman Tasha King. “I thought it was hard to follow (“Beetlejuice”),” said junior Shan¬ non Cochran. “ ‘Stakeout’ was a hilarious mov¬ ie! It was funny how the cop fell in love with the girl he was supposed to protect,” said junior John Mania. Although movies cost a whop¬ ping $4.50 or more, students contin¬ ued to frequent the fantasy world of film. Why go to the flick when you nspite of the availability of W VCRs, many students con- 1 tinued to buy mounds of pop- corn and fight the crowds to buy expensive tickets to the movie of their choice. Why? “The movies are a great place to go for a change of pace and enter¬ tainment. You see lots of people. It’s better than sitting at home,” said freshman Michelle Yancy. “IT’S LIKE THIS!” Actress Glenn Close, returning for a visit to her alma mater William and Mary College, grants an interview to a Virginia Gazette reporter. “If I see something that catches my eye, I don’t like to wait for the movie to come out on video cas¬ sette. That takes too long!” said ju¬ nior Patricia Wolkowich. “I like going to the movies be¬ cause it’s a nice place to go with your guy and you don’t have to wor¬ ry about getting too close because of the armrest,” said freshman Chanel Woods. There were those, however, who reveled in the luxury of owning a VCR. They were able to tape and view many popular films released to home movie clubs. “Watching movies on a VCR is have a VCR? definitely cheaper than going to the movies and paying about five dol¬ lars per person. I don’t mind wai¬ ting for video tapes,” said junior Lonnie Young. “I love watching movies on the VCR because I can rewind all of my favorite parts and watch them in slow motion. You certainly can’t do that at the movies,” said junior Terrence Gyant. “All you have to do is grab a soda out of the refrigerator, pop a bag of popcorn in the microwave, and sit back and turn on the VCR. It’s a great way to go to the movies,” said freshman Rodney Diamond. “LIKE, TOTALLY DUDE!” Comedian and actress Whoopi Goldberg gives a live performance at Wimbledon Stadium in England.

When pop star George Michael released “I Want Your Sex,” the first single from his Faith album, everyone from the Senators’ wives pushing for record ratings to Veejays on MTV had objec¬ tions. The song was banned from many radio stations and the video had to be edited three times before MTV would even consider playing it. “People didn’t get the true meaning of the song. It says that if you must have sex, have it with only one person. If you don’t, you could be getting into a situation of ‘life or death’,” said junior Mike Hatt. The video was finally aired and, despite the best effort of some, the single was number two on Billboard’s top 100. In support of the single, George Michael stressed the fact that the lyrics were in support of monoga¬ my. “This is not a song about casu¬ al sex,” Michael said in an MTV interview. That did not stop those who ob¬ jected to the lyrics. Unfortunate¬ ly, for those who did object, the publicity only helped the song. The rest of Michael’s LP was greeted with less controversy. The video for the album’s title track, “Faith,” did begin with Michael standing next to a juke box, listening to the chorus of “I Want Your SEX.” The music stops just before the crucial word is uttered, however. 152 Mini-Mag TRUE FAN!

Some brave students bundled up in coats, gloves, and earmuffs to camp out all night in front of the Coliseum. It was a concert no one wanted to miss. “A bunch of my friends and I slept outside to wait in line to get tickets for the U2 concert. We camped out right after the Hamp- ton-KHS football play-offs and it was 15 degree weather. It was cold and snowing, but it was defi¬ nitely worth it. I’d do it again any day to see U2,” said senior Lori Hilbert. For days and weeks before the performance, no one talked about anything but the concert that anyone who was anyone would be going to see. There was only one group that could inspire such de¬ votion and excitement-U2. It was the same throughout the country. When, in Los Angeles, it was announced that U2 would be shooting a video on top of a sky¬ scraper, people from all over the state traveled there to hear them. The police stepped in and stopped the band from perform¬ ing a complete concert. In San Francisco, U2 played a benefit concert for the dying breed of the “yuppie” the day af¬ ter the stock market crashed. To¬ wards the end of the concert, lead singer Bono spray painted a mes¬ sage on a nearby sculpture, prompting objections from San Francisco’s mayor. The band lat¬ er paid for the damage. There was no doubt about it - U2 was hot! After making appear¬ ances everywhere in major and minor cities across the United States and on the cover of Time, they played the final concert of their Joshua Tree tour in Hamp¬ ton. Well-known for its socially aware lyrics and protest songs, U2 changed its image with The Joshua Tree. Many fans felt that the group had lost some of its old flavor. Perhaps popularity had taken away from U2’s working class im¬ age, but, if the size of the crowd in Hampton was any indication, U2 w.as still number one in the hearts of their fans.

On a sun¬ ny day early in the school year, wouldn’t most peo¬ ple rather be on the beach? Still it was a way to get out of school, which is exactly what seniors taking government did! Getting involved in politics and campaigning was part of the curriculum in every govern¬ ment class. Seniors had several opportunities to exercise their campaigning skills and learn about politics, first hand. In the fall, students campaig¬ ned for their favorite candidate for Virginia State Senate. Being involved meant calling voters, passing out pamphlets and bal¬ loons during Phoebus Days, and even kissing a baby or two. On Election Day, November 3, seniors gathered outside the voting booths at the school’s au¬ ditorium entrance and handed out literature to potential vot¬ ers. It was a perfect excuse to be out of class all day and get government credit, too. The performance was repeat¬ ed when it came time for City Council elections. May 10. Signs lined the entrance to the student parking lot in a last minute effort to encourage votes for a candidate. Was it worth it? “I think working in the elec¬ tion and at the polls was a great idea. It’s a really good way to get students involved in how politics really work,” said se¬ nior Kristy Alligood. IN THE SHADOW!

Scandals, confusion mark the ' 88 presidential race t began in April of 1987 I when Senator Gary Hart announced his candidacy for President of the United States. For Hart, it end¬ ed only a few months later when he was caught participating in an extra-marital affair. For the rest of the country, the 1988 presidential race would contin¬ ue to capture the lion’s share of ; attention from television and : the press. “I didn’t like Gary Hart. I don’t think he would have been a good president. He had no dis¬ cipline or morals,” said fresh¬ man David Hertz. The race was difficult to sort out when it truly began early in 1988. At one point, Tom Bro- ! kaw of NBC news hosted a de¬ bate between all of the candi¬ dates and tried to give 12 men equal time. With so many people run¬ ning, dropouts were frequent. On the Republican side it boiled down to a contest between Sen¬ ator Robert Dole and Vice Pres¬ ident George Bush. The found¬ er of the Christian Broadcast¬ ing Network, Pat Robertson, was a constant third. For the Democrats, it was not that easy. Governor Mi¬ chael Dukakis, Congressman Albert Gore, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson fought it out until al¬ most the end. Hart confused things for awhile by re-entering the race, only to drop out again after several poor showings. The Democrats also had to deal with the spectre of Gover¬ nor Mario Cuomo, the immense¬ ly popular New Yorker who could have taken the nomina¬ tion by simply announcing his candidacy. The primary caucuses were nearly as difficult to sort out. It was not until Super Tuesday, a caucus involving all of the Southern states, that any clear- cut winners emerged. Bush dominated the Republican slate while Dukakis, Gore, and Jack- son split the Democratic vote. Hart’s affair was only one of many scandals. The Vice Presi¬ dent, an avid supporter of Presi¬ dent Ronald Reagan, was under attack for his role in the arms trading deal with Iran. Bush also had problems with the press, to the point of becoming involved in an on-the-air shout¬ ing match with CBS Anchor¬ man Dan Rather . Robertson created a scandal just by deciding to run. He met with criticism from the secular community when he announced his candidacy. Then, it was claimed that he had used his father’s influence to avoid com¬ bat in Korea. And, to make mat¬ ters worse, the media revealed that he had lied about the date of his marriage to cover up for his son’s very early birth. ‘‘A lot of people were really against Pat Robertson even if he is from Virginia. I’m certain¬ ly glad that he dropped out ear¬ ly. I think he was embarrassing the whole state,” said junior Ju¬ lie Boyer. The Rev. Jesse Jackson met with similar problems, initially. Because of his background as a Baptist preacher, many Ameri¬ cans regarded his candidacy as a joke. He surprised the country when he won several important primaries and became a serious contender. There was a great deal of speculation about whether a Black could be elect¬ ed President of the United States. Jackson had local ties. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Gertrude Brown, lived in Newport News and attended Hampton Univer¬ sity. Jackson was the principle speaker at her graduation, May 15. I really don’t feel that Jesse Jackson would make a good president because of his limited political experience,” said ju¬ nior Andy Matthews. Robertson dropped out of the race soon after Super-Tuesday but delayed a formal announce¬ ment until the middle of May. Dole made a valiant effort to wrest the Republican nomina¬ tion from George Bush but he too dropped out before the sum¬ mer convention. Gore dropped out of the Democratic race, leaving the field to Dukakis and Jackson, who declared they would stay in the race until the end. ‘‘I think the Presidential race is going to be a battle between whimps. Maybe we’d be better off if neither Bush or Dukakis won,” said senior Kristin Siem- ann. Mini-Mag 156 Mini-Mag ■ Who says we weren’t ' rich and famous’? hat is a celebrity?

Perhaps no one was bigger than President Ronald Reagan. The public continued to clamor for glimpses of his private life. Nightly news shows described the house he will live in upon re¬ tirement. People magazine dis¬ cussed the brand of jelly beans he most enjoys and, of course, every¬ body talked about Nancy Reag¬ an’s links with astrology. Church secretary Jessica Hahn, implicated with Evange¬ list Jim Bakker, was thrust into the limelight during the scandal. She was able to negotiate televi¬ sion and book rights to her “tale of woe.” Letter-turner Vanna White continued to pop up in the news. Like many celebrities, she wrote a book, “Vanna Speaks.” In it she included several household tips, a quilt pattern, hints on how to get on “Wheel-of-Fortune,” and her autobiography. Hollywood stars still made the news. Joan Collins went through a long and drawn-out divorce from her much younger husband. He ended up with nothing. T.V. Host Johnny Carson got divorced again, but his wife took everything before Carson got his freedom to remarry - for the fourth, or was it the fifth time? SONGBIRD! Superstar Whitney Hous ton performs in New York ' s Madison Square Garden. Houston was the recipient of the “best new artist” Grammy in 1986. New artists, play, earn praise, boos! ven those new to fame were not spared the scrutiny of the public eye. Bruce Hornsby, recipient of the “best new artist” Grammy one short year ago, released his second album in 1988. Especially popular in Virginia because of his roots in Williamsburg, Hornsby was known for being puzzled about people’s reactions to him. In television and radio inter¬ views, he would stress the fact that he was “just an ordinary guy.” Whitney Houston, also a recip¬ ient of the “best new artist” Grammy award in 1986, contin¬ ued to play prima donna. Al¬ though her second album, “Whitney,” sold well, her concert tour received anything but rave reviews. When her tour hit Nor¬ folk, late in the summer of 1987, many concert goers were disap¬ pointed. Rumors of her tantrums in the hotel where she was staying circulated throughout the city for days after her depar¬ ture. Still new to fame, Madonna made headlines with her separa¬ tion from husband actor hot- head Sean Penn. She was also fea¬ tured in a Broadway comedy that opened in April of 1988 to bad, bad reviews. Radio interviews done after opening night, featured one mem¬ ber of the audience saying, “Madonna should restrict her acting to the shower!” “CATS,” an unusual, innova¬ tive play, based on the poems of T.S. Eliot, was a sell-out on Broadway. Almost instantly, the actors became celebraties. The cast appeared in full costume in a commercial sponsored by the American Lung Association war¬ ning about the dangers of smok¬ ing and cancer. DE-NASTY! Sexy, sultry, star of T.V.’s “Dynasty, Joan Collins manages to maintain her beauty and popularity in spite of her much publicized personal life. “WHO’S THAT GIRL?” Ma¬ donna greets her fans from a plat¬ form in New York’s Times Square where her new movie, “Who’s That Girl?,” made its New York debut. MEOW! Morris and the CATS gather backstage at the Winter Garden Theater in New York City. Mini-Mag 157 The tube ' just ain’t what it used to be’ t was a nightly ritual. Start- I ing at 8 p.m., hundreds of students still tuned the set to their favorite T.V. show. “The old boob tube ‘just ain’t what it used to be,”’ said sopho¬ more Jennifer Cui. The choices increased in ’87-’88 as over a dozen new shows were introduced to ABC, CBS, NBC, and the cable network FOX. However, the writers’ strike in the spring changed the quality of T.V. Remember the perfect black family sit-com that came on NBC on Thursday nights? Denise Huxtable of “The Cosby Show’’ got her own T.V. show, “A Differ¬ ent World,” in 1987. The show scored big with teen¬ agers, exploring many of the hu¬ morous problems of college life. “The Cosby Show,” on the other hand, began to decline in popular¬ ity- “‘The Cosby Show’ isn’t what it used to be. It’s just not that fun¬ ny anymore. It’s really the wri¬ ter’s fault! However, I really love the spinoff, ‘A Different World,’ ” said junior Tiffany Brewton. “L.A. Law” was another show that scored big for NBC. A mix¬ ture of drama and comedy, the show received raves from profes¬ sional critics as well as teenagers. “I think it’s a great show because it’s realistic. The actors portray their characters well,” said junior Michelle Jackson. Max Headroom made his re¬ turn to American television in 1987-sort of! “The Max Head- room Show” never aired as a regu¬ lar series, but did make an ap¬ pearance about every month or so. Another big hit of the year was “Star Trek: The Next Genera¬ tion,” the highest grossing show in syndication after only a few weeks on the air. “I thinkthe new ‘Star Trek’ se¬ ries has been consistent with the message and spirit of the old se¬ ries. I love watching it every week. I guess you could say that I’m a real fan,” said senior Donna Engler. BEST SHOWS L.A.

Probably not! America’s love affair with T.V. continued in ’87-’88 and each new invention had the public wonder¬ ing how they had ever survived without it. VCR’s, or video cassette re¬ corders, continued to rise in popu¬ larity. In 1987, over half of all American households with a tele¬ vision set owned a VCR. The big¬ gest advantage of the VCR was convenience. Shows could be taped to be watched later when there was more time. Special ep¬ isodes and movies could be kept permanently, another plus. “If I can’t get home in time to watch a show, especially my ‘soaps,’ I can tape them to watch later. It’s great!” said sophomore Dawn Cretella. Rental movies were another plus when you owned a VCR. It was no longer necessary to go out on Saturday night to see a “flick.” Popular movies were now available in your own living room, minus the overpriced popcorn and bubble gum on the floor. Al¬ though not as current as theater movies, most VCR movies made their debut within six months of their Hollywood premiers. Stereo T.V. also scored big in ’87. No more two-inch speakers mounted inside the television! T. V’s now had external tower speakers that sounded as good as the best stereo system, plus pic¬ tures. Another advance in the field of television took place in Japan. An overseas electronics company found a method for vastly in¬ creasing picture clarity and color. Previewers described the new pic¬ tures as being as “good as looking through a window.” Unfortunately, the new T.V.’s require a different kind of signal that would not be available in the U. S. for a few years. In addition, the sets cost up to four times as much as current sets on the mar¬ ket. So, T.V. junkies had to be content with what was available. ONE OF THE WORST! alf, also known as Alien Life Form, was rated “one of the worst ” T. V. shows of the year. W-W-WHAT’S UP? Max Head- room, sometime Vee Jay in England and the U.S., made a hit with teenagers with his “Max Headroom Show.’’ STILL ON TOP? “The Cosby Show” was still on top in the Nielsen ra¬ tings in 1987, however, many students expressed dissatisfaction with the show’s material.

Warrior teams were “alive and kicking” and gave their opponents a run for their money. The gridders came close to settling old wounds in the endless pursuit to crush the Crabs.

Senior wrestlers Mark Banks and Shannon Con¬ rad placed fourth in State Wres¬ tling Competition. By the time spring arrived, baseball, soccer, boys’ tennis, and track came out “alive and kick¬ ing” in the hopes of winning Dis-. trict championships. Competition Divider GO! BABY, GO! Brian Reaves, practicing his drive, watches the ball’s flight as it soars towards the fifteenth green at the Hampton Golf Course, the home course for the team. PRACTICE AND MORE PRACTICE! Con¬ centrating on his putting, Sean Harrington puts in some long, hot hours on the golf course prior to the season opener in August. “We had a number of golfers with excellent tal¬ ent. Allen Denton and Sean Harrington led the team all season. The only problem was that we did not play up to our full po¬ tential. Also, the other teams in the district had an exceptional season. ” Ricky Zendt Goffers plagued by foul weather, inexperience; place 4th in district FOUR HORSEMEN RIDE AGAIN I nexperience, inconsistency, foul weather, and poor course conditions were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for the Varsity Golf Team, which finished only fourth in the district. “Losing seniors from last year’s team probably hurt the team, but, I did believe we would finish in second or third place,” said Coach Leonard Thomas. “To finish fourth in the district was actually an accomplishment because we lost seven key golfers to graduation,” ex¬ plained junior Allen Denton, a top golfer on the team. Battling scorching, humid weather, the Golf Team began practice, August 10. Drinking gallons of water before and after practice, the golfers kept in prime condi¬ tion throughout the ordeal of summer practices and early season meets. ' “The only good thing about playing in the heat is that it improves your concentra¬ tion level,” said senior Ricky Zendt. Hitting golf balls out of crater-like divots onto putting greens that were har¬ der than concrete was not uncommon for the golfers who found that most of the courses they played on were in poor condi¬ tion. “A lot of the courses that we played were in really bad shape because of the drought and the hot weather,” said junior Matt Byrd.

While the golfers finished fourth over¬ all, their best finish was a third place on the Hampton Golf Course. Denton and Harrington were bright spots on the incon¬ sistent team and advanced to Regional competition. Fighting blustery winds and poor con¬ ditions on the course, Denton shot a 92 and 84 during the two day Regional tourna¬ ment at the par 72 Bow Creek Golf Course in Virginia Beach. Harrington managed only a 105 and 97. “I played well during the two days,” said Denton. “But, the wind kept me from having a really good round,” he explained. The golfers viewed the season as a “building” one and a step towards develop¬ ing more depth on the team. “With the experience gained this year by the returning players, we are sure to go to Regionals in ’88,” said Reaves. “Our team’s relative lack of experi¬ ence did not prove to be as detrimental as we first thought it might be,” said sopho¬ more Chris Kennedy.

Six starting seniors stayed with their game plans and overcame powerful gusts of wind and last minute changes in the lineup to carry the team to a 7-2 record, earning them third place in the district. The Lady Warriors began practice in early August, enduring hot, muggy weather while playing their constant challenge matches to determine the season lineup. “The only good thing about summer practice is that it psyched us up for the sea¬ son,” said senior Jenny Kersis. After overcoming early season losses to number one Lafayette and number two Menchville, the girls fought their way to GIRLS’ TENNIS- FRONT ROW: Courtney Riten- our, Carrie Price, Shanna Simpson, Rebecca Youn¬ ger. BACK ROW: Denese Wilkins, Lisa Anderson, Whitney Bartlett, Eleanor Magers, Esther Han, Jen¬ nifer Kersis, Coach Lester Sapp. seven consecutive victories, enabling them to send four of the top six players to the season-ending district tournament. “I would like to have won all of the matches, but I was especially impressed with the girls’ unbreakable spirits and fierce competitiveness in the middle and toward the end of the season,” said Coach Lester Sapp. Highlights of the season included a district tournament title for the number one doubles team of seniors Eleanor Mag¬ ers and Becky Younger that earned them a berth in the Regional doubles tourna¬ ment and senior Denese Wilkins’ victory at number two singles against Ferguson. Wilkins, normally the number five seed, filled in for an ill Whitney Bartlett and dis¬ patched of Ferguson’s number two seed, 6- 2, 6-3. “Before the match, I didn’t really ex¬ pect to win, but once we started warming up, I knew I could beat her,” said Wilkins. Demanding recognition at the Home- I coming pep rally, the girls launched a pro- : test by carrying signs to class that read, . “Tennis is a sport, too!” As a result, Coach Sapp proudly introduced his team of win¬ ners at the rally. “Although we were beaten twice, both times by great teams, a lot of character was built this season, and that’s what makes coaching such a worthwhile endeavor,” said Coach Lester Sapp. Magers qualified for the Regional tournament in singles, as well as doubles, with a 3-6, 6-7, 3-7 loss to Menchville’s number one seed Jenny Holm in the finals of the district tournament. “I went much farther in districts than I anticipated. This was my best season ever, and I had the most fun. Coach Sapp is the greatest. I’ll always remember this team!” said Magers. “True team spirit really paid off,” said senior Shanna Simpson. “We may not have had as many experienced players this year, but we played smart tennis, and we were mentally pre¬ pared. Sometimes, all we had was sheer deter¬ mination, but it always seemed to pull us through. ” Whitney Bartlett DETERMINATION!

As the finish line gets closer, the aches and pains of the long run are forgotten, as he gains strength and crosses the finish line with his best time of the year, 17:51 against Hamp¬ ton at Gosnold’s Park. Running cross country meant sweating it out during the summer practices, nursing aches and pains after a workout, and increas¬ ing endurance each day. Harriers set person¬ al goals for the season. “Everybody worked hard and improved their times,” said Coach William Cawley. The boys’ team finished its long season with a 1-5 record. New runners, green and out of shape, came out at the last minute to swell the team’s ranks. “Cross Country is a year-round sport. The key is the off season. Nobody trained during the off season,” explained Cawley. “After improving our times, we are now (at the end of the season) where everybody else began,” he added. The hard work paid off in the latter part of the season when the Warriors gained some confidence and skill. “Ferguson was the most satisfying meet. Everybody had confidence and improved their times from the first meet,” said Molnar, the team’s top runner. Junior Joan Eaton, the top female run¬ ner on the team and recipient of both the Harrier Award and Most Valuable Award, improved her time to 20.08. “I was very proud of myself. I have im¬ proved so much this year,” said Eaton. ' JJx £§ r A v riJ t 1 fc Coach Cawley encouraged the runners to stay in shape during the off-season by orga¬ nizing a post-season running club. “Cross Country is a team sport,” he said. “We can have the fastest two runners in the nation and not win a meet. It takes a team effort to stay in shape and to win,” he added. PUSHING ON!

Cross Country Players realize the ‘impossible dream ’ - a playoff berth in Regionals GRIDDERS MAKE HISTORY O n a bitter cold Friday night, the Warriors packed up and headed for an hour long bus ride to a far off game with the Lafayette Rams. A victory would send the team to the first playoff in the school’s history. At halftime, the scoreboard read 0-0. “The only way that we can get in the playoffs is if we can pull off this game,” ex¬ claimed first year Head Coach Curt New- some. With hard work and determination, the gridders went out and scored 28 points in the second half to shut-out the Rams, 28-0. The win would secure a playoff game if Woodrow Wilson could beat Great Bridge. The situa¬ tion at the end of the Lafayette defeat looked grim because Great Bridge was ahead. “It was strange because Great Bridge was winning when we finished. Then, when we were ready to leave, we got word that Woodrow Wilson had finally won,” said se¬ nior cornerback Chip West. “It’s hard to explain how happy we were,” said West. However, the team found itself in jeop¬ ardy again when Wilson was found guilty of using an ineligible player and was forced to forfeit the game, thus forcing a three-way tie for the Eastern District championship. The playoff berth decision was finally made on the basis of power ratings. Kecoughtan’s 12.33 rating narrowly topped Great Bridge’s 12.3 rating. It was set. The Warriors would meet the Crabbers on yet another frigid Friday eve¬ ning. November 20, the gridders packed up again and headed for John B. Todd Stadium in hopes of “crushing the crabs.” Both sides of the packed stadium witnessed a game that wasn’t decided until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. It was a heartbreaking 13-7 loss for the Warriors. For senior quarterback Eric Williams, who sparked the team to a successful, 7-3, season, the loss was hard to take. “We had a great season. The only thing that I would change is the closing minutes of the playoff game,” said Williams. A forfeit by Phoebus helped the team out by improving its record and bringing it closer to the playoffs. “The forfeit by Phoebus helped us out a lot. We would have liked to have won it on the field, but at least we got the win on the books,” said junior Milan Brown. The team finished second in the Penin¬ sula District standings and proved to the competition that it was a force to be reckoned with. “I’m very proud of these guys,” said As¬ sistant Coach Revis Conrad. “They did an excellent job and you can’t ask for a whole lot more than that,” he added.

The sun beat down on the dry, crusty field from a merciless sky. The players were sweaty and trailing, 28-0, against arch-rival Phoebus with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. The tone for the JV Football Team had been estab¬ lished - it was going to be a long season. “Injuries really hurt us. We lost a couple of close games we probably would have won if we had been at full strength,” said sopho¬ more Kevin Oberman. Although the Warriors lost five out of their first six games, they ended the season with a 3-5 record. The offense averaged 10 points a game and the defensive unit proved itself in the Menchville game. “Through intense practice, hard work, and good coaching, we were able to overcome our early season slump to win the last two games,” said freshman Mike Williams. As the season progressed, the team’s play improved greatly. Scores became closer and the will to win grew. With a close game against Bethel, 14-16, and another against Warwick, 6-14, the team smelled victory. With scores of 14-9 against Hampton and 19- 6 over Lafayette, the JV’s won their last two games, finishing the season with the best re¬ cord in recent years. “Throughout the season, we were on the verge of victory, but bad breaks hurt us. Fi¬ nally, our luck turned around and we won a couple of games,” said sophomore Robbie Carter. “The highlight of the season was the shut-out of Menchville. It was an excellent way to end the season,” said sophomore Andy Shattuck. Some JV’s, unfamiliar with past teams’ records, were surprised with their success. “Throughout the season we had some rough times. I thought that winning only three games was bad. But, after we beat Hampton, I knew we were pretty good. I had no idea that we had produced one of the bet¬ ter records in the school’s JV program,” said sophomore Lemonte Quarles. Others were not surprised, and were thrilled with their achievement. “I’ve been keeping up with the team’s progress for a while. During the last few years, I noticed that the teams hadn’t won but one game in two years. I knew we had done something good with three victories,” said Oberman. For the J.V.’s, the “thrill of victory” and a respectable record were enough. PUSH THAT SLED!

Yes, we are the best! Green. White. We’re K-H-S!” “All right ladies, that was pretty good, but stiffen up!” shouted Coach Laura Coo¬ ley to the cheerleaders during one of their hot summer practices. Starting with try-outs in the spring of ’87, the Junior Varsity and Varsity Cheer¬ leaders cheered non-stop until the end of basketball season in February. Officially declared a sport by the Vir¬ ginia High School League, cheerleading gained new status and recognition. Howev¬ er, changes were made in safety regula¬ tions, among them a limitation on pyram¬ ids. The girls also complied with the “no pass, no play” rule and were required to have physicals before attending summer camp. “The new rulings were made mainly for safety precautions. The cheerleaders have tryouts, do exercises and perform just as hard as any other team. The decision to call it a sport means that the squads are re¬ quired to obey the new regulations,” said Coach Cooley. Both squads attended a National Cheerleaders’ Association camp from July 30 to August 2. The teams performed suc¬ cessfully in the daily competitions during the week. The Varsity Cheerleaders brought home three Superior ribbons and one Excellent, and the Junior Varsity cheerleaders returned with two Superior ribbons and two Excellent. Together, the squads won one Spirit Stick, and Varsity cheerleader Jessica Knaff was nominated to participate in All- American cheerleading competition. “Even though I didn’t win the compe¬ tition, I had a great time. It was a good ex¬ perience. I just hope I’ll do better next year,” said Knaff. Varsity Captain Rachel Niemotka was assisted by Co-Captain Christy Vaisvil, and Junior Varsity Captain Margaret Hamilton was aided by Co-Captain Chris¬ ty Greene. Together, the girls had to main¬ tain a positive attitude and set a good ex¬ ample. “When things were going wrong, and the routines and pyramids just weren’t coming together, it was hard to maintain a cheerful attitude ,” said Niemotka. “I had to remember that I was in a leadership position and that the others were watching me,” she added. The girls cheered for football, basket¬ ball, and wrestling. The normal schedule during the winter months consisted of cheering at a basketball game Tuesday and Friday, attending practice on Thursday, and cheering for a wrestling match, either Wednesday or Saturday. “Although it was hectic and hard to COME ON, WARRIORS!

Sin¬ geing the nets, Pabst put the team ahead of number three Ferguson for good. Returning from a three game lay-off, Pabst demonstrated her athletic ability. “Junior Dawn Pabst continued to show her talent on the court and in the district. She was one of leading scorers,” said Head Coach Mike McCormick. The season went better than anticipated for the young team. Inexperience was a major factor in the team’s performance. “The Lady Warriors were very young, es¬ pecially in terms of experience. Nine of the 14 girls were first year players. Only two seniors had any significant playing time in the past,” said Coach McCormick. Finishing the season tied for fifth was more than the Peninsula District expected from the small team. Although the league no longer had any serious threats, other than Pabst, Natlie Thomas of Menchville, and Nikki Reid of Phoe¬ bus, it was still a competitive league. “Our season went okay. I would have liked for us to have done better. But, we did the best we could considering all of the odds that were against us,” said senior Felicia Kemp, the fourth leading scorer in the district. Kemp also received the Coaches Award for her consistent performance during the season. Pabst and Kemp held the offensive weight for the team while senior Traci Turner was not¬ ed for her defense. “Traci did an outstanding job in her role. She showed poise and the ability to add some scoring from the guard position,” said Coach McCormick. Turner received “Most Deserving” for her overall performance. Top District scorers Pabst and Kemp were also first and second for most three pointers scored. Senior Valencia Ervin made a contribu¬ tion to the team with her consistent aggressive¬ ness on the boards. “We worked well as a team. If it hadn’t been for Traci getting me the ball so I could do what I had to do, as well as work the ball inside to Felicia underneath, we couldn’t have been successful,” said Pabst, the team’s “Most Valu¬ able Player.” McCormick was pleased with the overall performance of the team. “This was a small team that understood and was able to execute roles on most occasions. The girls became one of the finest defensive teams in the District. They learned how to con¬ trol the tempo of the game and to keep the score low in order to win,” praised Coach McCormick. “It was a great team! I felt really proud to be a member of the squad. Coach McCormick is such a great guy and so great to work with that you always want to play your very best for him,” said Turner. ALMOST!

The Varsity Basketball Team was leading by one point. Junior Milan Brown had scored on a short jumper against arch-ri¬ val Phoebus. Then, Phantom Stacy Gor¬ don passed the ball to teammate Jamie Chapell who took two dribbles past half¬ court and sank a 23 foot jumper at the buzzer, giving Phoebus the win. The loss to Phoebus was typical of a season full of games that were lost in the final seconds. “It was frustrating. It seemed like we lost all of our games that way,” said senior Co-Captain Spencer Askew. “We had the game won but lost our composure at the end of the third quarter.” The Varsity Team started the season off on the right foot, winning the first two games over a good Norview team, 80-74, and demolishing Menchville, 86-54. “I thought that we were going to be one of the teams to beat (in the District). We believed in ourselves and if we had won a couple of tough, tight games, the season would have turned out differently,” said senior Fred Jernigan.

Losses to the top four and a loss to un¬ defeated Eastern Regional AA Champions Tabb High School in the Fort Eustis Christmas Tournament added up to a loss of confidence in the team’s ability. “We should have won four of those five games. When we didn’t, our morale went down. That hurt us,” said junior Co- Captain Milan Brown. Although the team was one of the quickest in the District, it was also the smallest. Many times the cagers were out rebounded by a two to one ratio. “This is a big obstacle for any team to overcome,” said junior Kevin Owens. After the final buzzer loss to Phoebus, the Warriors defeated Ferguson, 67-66. “Losing to Phoebus helped get us up for the Ferguson game. We wanted to prove to everybody we could play!” said ju¬ nior Ernest Willis. A 80-63 revenge victory over Phoebus towards the end of the season was the team’s last hurrah. “The Phoebus game was a matter of pride,” said junior Travis Ward. The lack-luster season, 0-16, for the JV team was a dismal experience. With only three returning players, the team suf¬ fered from inexperience and lack of size. “It could have been better, but under the circumstances, we did our best,” said freshman Tommy Staton.

Boys’ Basketball 177 Flying Fish dominate district losing only to powerful Lafayette Rams INDIVIDUALS EXCEL W ith well-timed, strong starts, smooth, powerful strokes, and some of the fastest times in the District, the Flying Fish were a formidable foe in any pool. “As long as we, as individuals, concen¬ trated on winning, taking the meet was usual¬ ly no problem,” said Boys’ Captain junior Mike Hatt. Outstanding individual efforts kept the team at the top of the District with resound¬ ing victories over city-rivals Hampton, Beth¬ el, and Phoebus. The team dominated the ra¬ tings until they ran into nemesis Lafayette from Williamsburg. WORKING OUT THE KINKS! Girls’ Captain Colleen Larkin lifts leg weights during a workout in the Hampton University training room.

BACK ROW: Kristin Siemann, Victoria Kantsios, Denese Wilkins, Eliza¬ beth Witherspoon, Colleen Larkin, Trudi Jordan, Shanna Young, Cristy Standage, Coach Erol Du¬ plessis. The powerful Lafayette Rams hooked the Fish on two occasions. With 60 swim¬ mers, outmanning the Fish nearly three to one, and unlimited use of the William and Mary pool, the Rams were unbeatable. “Lafayette really has a powerful and dedicated team,” said First-year Head Coach of the Fish Erol Duplessis. The Fish were blessed with many talent¬ ed and competitive swimmers who had had years of practice and experience. “Quite a few of the girls swam with me over the years in summer leagues,” said fourth year veteran senior Victoria Kantsios. “I think that made for a really strong team,” she added. Two swimmers who proved to be espe¬ cially strong for the Fish were Hatt and se¬ nior Denese Wilkins. Hatt was undefeated in the 50-yard freestyle and Wilkins placed third in the 200-yard medley relay and sec¬ ond in the freestyle relay in the District Meet. “I felt I performed well in Districts. I re¬ ally psyched myself up for it and, as a result, my times improved,” said Wilkins. “There were a lot of seniors on the team this year. I wanted them to do it for them¬ selves, not just for me. As a team, I believe they gave everything they had,” said Coach Duplessis. “We practiced hard, especially for the fi¬ nal meet against the Lafayette Rams. They have always been our top foe and we wanted to settle the score,” said senior Kristin Siem¬ ann. “We had a successful sea¬ son. We lost to Lafayette, but we beat all of the other teams.

Spearheaded by District champs seniors Mark Banks and Shannon Con¬ rad, the squad was considered one of the district powerhouses. “The Hampton match was one of my hard¬ est. The team needed me to pin my guy and there was a lot of pressure. The victory was most definitely the best all season. We beat Hampton for the first time in years,’’ said Banks. Finishing the District Tournament in sec¬ ond place, the squad sent Banks, Conrad, junior Randall Huffman, freshman Steve Hatt, and senior Paul Rauscher to the Regional Tourna¬ ment where they placed tenth. The Regional performances of Banks and Conrad placed them in State competition where they placed fourth. The effort earned the squad a State rank. For Banks, a heavyweight contender who had wrestled since his freshman yea r, the finish was not what he wanted. “I’ve worked long and hard for the shot. I’m happy with my finish, but I really wanted first place,” he said. Wrestling in the 176 pound weight class, Conrad worked hard to regain his eligibility af¬ ter dropping out of school last year. His fourth place finish in State was a personal triumph. “I decided that I would take a big step and try to make it on my own. Once I got out there, I realized that it wasn’t so easy, so I came back,” said Conrad. Regaining his eligibility in January, Con¬ rad was undefeated prior to the State Tourna¬ ment. His return gave the wrestlers a boost.

Wrestling Team faces ’must win ’ situation; finds ’no substitute for hard work ’ OOTERS TAKE CROWN! T homas Edison’s quote, “There is no substitute for hard work,” became the motto for the hardworking Var¬ sity Soccer Team as the hooters suc¬ cessfully captured their third consecutive Pen¬ insula District title. “We had several new players with a lot of experience but we had to work hard to perform as a single unit on the soccer field,” explained junior Matt Byrd. Dropping two of its first six matches, the team faced adversity. Losing to both Chur- chland and Western Branch by scores of 1-0, the team had already accumulated the same number of losses as the ’86 and ’87 teams com¬ bined. “After our two losses, we found out that our name no longer intimidated our opponents and we would have to work if we wanted to win,” said Byrd. The team had a relatively easy time in the di strict, allowing only one goal in nine games and only three goals the entire season. “I felt that when it came down to the end of the game and the other teams put in their high pressure offenses, we could count on Sean (Holleran) to make the big save,” said junior Travis Ward. After two back-to-back ties with Lafayette, 1-1, and Menchville, 0-0, the hooters knew they had their work cut out for them. With its back against the wall, the team, in order to clinch a tie for the District title, had to win its remaining matches. By winning, the team could force a play-off with Lafayette. “The coach would not let us forget that we were in a must win situation. We knew we had to really work hard in order to succeed,” said junior Brian Reaves. Blanking both Phoebus, 5-0, and Denbigh, 1-0, the team was on an emotional high going into the match with Hampton. A 1-0 win over the Crabbers was cause for celebration. Soundly defeating Ferguson, 3-0, the hoot¬ ers hoped for a Menchville victory over Lafay¬ ette, thus clearing the way for sole possession of the distiict title. Their prayers were an¬ swered with a Monarch victory over the Rams, May 10. “When I found out that Lafayette had lost and we had won the championship, I was ela¬ ted!” said senior Stacie Neal. Defeating Great Bridge, 4-3, in the first round of the Regional Tournament, the hooters fell victim to Eastern District Champion Cox High School, 2-1, in the rain-soaked Regional finals, thus dashing hopes for a Regional title. “When it came to the game against Cox, the players fought among themselves and that’s why we lost. But, just wait until next year,” ex¬ claimed junior Mike Sullivan. “The turning point of our season was our tie with Lafayette. We knew we had our work cut out for us and we had to give 110 per cent if we wanted to win and capture the District ti¬ tle,” said Reaves.

Inexperience, inconsistency cause tennis to have lack-luster season NETTERS’ HOPES DASHED I nexperience and inconsistency were the sole factors that caused the downfall of the Boys’ Tennis Team and destroyed all hope of a second consecutive District championship for the netters. “Three of our top six players had never played in a match situation before this season. As a result, a lot of close matches didn’t fall for us,” said veteran Coach Lester Sapp. The netters ended their lack-luster season 4-4 in the District and 5-4 overall giving them the worst record the team has had since Sapp took control of the squad four years ago. His reign included a District championship, two seasons with only one loss, and a previous sea¬ son low record of four losses. Five of the top six players were seniors and were disappointed that the team’s last season was the worst of the veterans’ careers. “Sure, I would have liked for the team to have its best season ever right before 1 leave, but I guess things just didn’t work out that way,” said four-year veteran and number one seed se¬ nior Hugh Milteer, who led the team last year. “I can’t complain. At least we’ve won one District championship,” said number two seed senior Matt Steinmetz. Team morale was at an all time low for the netters. Six new members were added to the roster and their relationship with the other players proved destructive. “It seemed like when players were down in a match, other team members couldn’t give the added boost needed, as in years past,” said third-year team member senior Todd Trimpert. Inexperience also contributed to the over¬ all inconsistency of the team’s play. The best individual record on the team was 7-2, shared by two netters, Steinmetz and Trimpert. “We had a lack-luster season. For some matches, like Hampton, we really gave it our all. But, for others, we seemed to run out of steam. Unfortunately, the matches we did lose could have gone either way,” said junior Chris George. SLIPPERY WHEN WET!

I nconsistent play, the lack of a strong second pitcher, and vacancies in four key positions caused the Varsity Base¬ ball Team to have an “up and down” season. “The lack of experience at ' key’ positions resulted in having to shuffle players in search of the right combination. Mike Watterton pro¬ vided the team with its only reliable pitcher but there were outstanding performances from many of the players,” said veteran Head Coach Buddy Denton. Although the team suffered from inconsis¬ tency, many of the batters performed consis¬ tently at the plate. Four players, seniors Shaun Starcher, Ray Alves, and Rodney Covington and junior Steve Pabst had season batting aver¬ ages of .300 or over. Pabst led the team with a batting average of .378 and was named to the Peninsula Sports Club All-Star Team and the Peninsula District All-Star Team. Another consistent effort was made by pitcher Mike Watterton. Watterton won seven games, set a record with 131 strikeouts, and led the District in strike outs. “At times, this ball club was as good as any team in our district. This was due in part to the superb pitching performances of Watterton against such top teams as Bethel and Hamp¬ ton,” said Assistant Coach Mike McCormick.

BACK ROW: Coach William Denton, William Denton, Wayne Kos- tyal, David Johnson, Raymond Alves, Michael Watter¬ ton, John Caggiano, Joseph McDonald, Assistant Coach Michael McCormick. “Our team knew we were competitive but we were just so ’up and down’ throughout the season. For example, one game our defense was bad and our offense was great. Then, the next game it was the opposite. We just couldn’t pull both of them together at once. If we had, I think we would have won the district,” said Watter¬ ton. Other outstanding players were Allen Den¬ ton at first base and catcher Covington, who worked opposing pitchers for a school record of 23 bases on balls. Denton, Watterton, Starcher and sophomore Andy Shattuck were named to the Peninsula District Second Team. The batmen compiled a season record of 8 wins, 9 losses, and one tie. Wins were recorded over Poquoson, Bethel, Lafayette, Ferguson, Phoebus (twice), Warwick, and Menchville. A highlight of the season was the narrow 3-2 victo¬ ry over the Bethel Bruins, the reigning District Champions. “The season was full of ’almost wins.’ I feel that if we had been consistent in our games, we would have faired much better,” said senior Ray Alves. The team lost to Warwick, Bethel, and Denbigh by one run and tied Hampton, 2-2. “Just a couple of more things right in the Warwick, Bethel, and Denbigh games and we would have had a much better season,” said se- nior David Johnson. Used to being the District Champion, the team and the coaches were less than satisfied with the season. STRIKE THREE!

Soccer Team ended the season with a tournament victory, the First Place Trophy, and, most importantly, the feeling of being a team. “Our players did a good job this season. The backfield only let a few goals by and our offense scored when we needed it. I think the reason we were successful is because of the great coaching we had. Kelly Alford is one of the best coaches in this area,” said team Captain sopho¬ more John League. Along the road to their 7-1-4 record, the hooters lost players to injuries as well as grades. “We lost players because of bad grades and injuries, but we pulled together and became a pretty decent team,” said freshman Victor Bright. Towards the end of the season, Coach Alford entered the team in the Tabb Junior Tournament, April 22 and 23. “Coach Alford used his own money to pay for us to play in the tournament. He said it was for fun but we owed him a victory for all of his hard work,” said freshman David Mclnnis. Advancing to a Saturday afternoon match after a 2-0 victory over Poquoson, the Warriors took on the tournament favorite, Tabb High School. Having lost to Tabb, 0-3, during the reg¬ ular season, the hooters were out for revenge. Their 3-1 victory over the Tigers put the team in the finals. Tieing the final match with York, 1-1, the game went into a shootout. Sophomore Nate Ward was the hero of the day when he made his shot and won the game and the First Place Tro¬ phy for the team. “It’s a great feeling because a season’s worth of work came together and paid off for all of us,” said Ward. Out on the diamond, the J.V. Baseball Team was also dominating the game. With a fi¬ nal season record of 10-6, the batmen felt good about their performance as a team. “We did a very good job considering the competition we encountered and a few key in¬ juries that we had,” said Head Coach John Greene. Outstanding hitters for the J.V.’s were so¬ phomores Brian Sterne, .479 average; and Trent Lumpkin, .393 average. Freshmen Michael Niemotka and Thomas Staton had .362 and .365 batting averages, respectively. “We had a strong hitting team. A number of the Junior Varsity players should help the varsity team next year,” said Coach Greene. Sophomore Heath Green was named “Most Valuable Player” and Staton served as team captain. “I think the team did very well this year. We worked hard and hit the ball a lot, We had some returning players who were the key to our success. But, we could have done better (im¬ proved the season record) if we had tried har¬ der,” said Staton. J.V.

Awesome batting, consistent defense places team second in District BATTING BEAUTIES! O ne hundred and nine batters fell prey to the consistent fine arm pitching of senior Becky Younger, who helped lead the defending Dis¬ trict softball champions to a respectable 11- 5 second place standing in the district. The team led the district in batting with a combined average of over .400. Younger, the Most Valuable Player, led the team and the district in batting as well as in homeruns with 13. Other leading hitters were seniors Lynn McKnight, Tonya Rose, and Traci Turner, and junior Carrie Price. “I was very pleased with the consistent batting of the top hitters on the team as well as the batting of the team overall,” said first year Coach Richard MacDonald. The girls devastated teams like Fergu¬ son by a score of 23-6 and Bethel with a score of 16-1. They had no mercy for the Lady Raiders of Warwick, humiliating them twice by scores of 20-2 and 19-0. Denbigh also be¬ came a two-time victim of the “batting beauties” by scores of 21-4 and 21-1. Defense was a major factor in the success of the team. Younger held her own on the mound for her first season as pitcher. Rose, the catcher, was also a key to success as she led the district in the most throw-outs at sec¬ ond base. “Becky did a great job pitching. I couldn’t have possibly asked for more from her. As a team, our defense was somewhat weak at first, but we got it together after a couple of games,” said MacDonald. Four of the team’s starters earned All- District recognition. Younger and Rose were named to the second team, while Price and Turner earned an honorable mention. “Pm glad I made second team. Natural¬ ly, I would have liked to have made first team. However, it’s not unusual that the Dis¬ trict Champion’s pitcher is chosen for the first team,” said Younger. Heads up base running also enabled the quick team to take advantage of opportuni¬ ties to advance around the bases. The team’s second place finish and 11-5 record was something to be proud of. “We only had three starters coming back which meant we had to condition and break- in six new players. I think the team did great considering all of the work and experience we had to gain,” said Rose. “GIVE IT ALL YOU’VE GOT!” Rochelle Jacobs puts some speed behind the ball as she makes a throw to first base in the Lady Warriors’ triumph over Ferguson, 23-6.

But, once we got our act together, we did a good job. ” Lynn McKnight CHECKING IT OUT! Lynn McKnight sizes up the pitcher before she takes her turn at bat.

R espect! The Indoor and Outdoor Track Teams did not receive much respect at the beginning of their seasons but, eventually, the earns managed to send more runners to Re- ;ional and State competition than any other earn had sent in recent years. “We gained a lot of respect, especially luring the indoor season,” said Head Coach U Morrow. Because of a lack of depth, the season ecords were not impressive. However, the ,tudents who did run were dedicated and ex¬ celled far beyond expectations. “I knew all along we were good!” said se- lior Toby Brown who ran a 49.5 in the 400 neter open. “We did not have much depth )ut everybody who ran gave 100 per cent, rhat is why I love track!” exclaimed Brown. The attitude of the runners played a ma- or role in the season. It alone helped the team gain respect. “We came out to run track. Not for other reasons, like before,” said junior Brian Whit¬ ley who ran a 10.5 and a 22.4 in the 100 and 200 meter dashes in Regional competition. “Parents were coming to me saying they liked the morale and participation of the teams. They cheered each other on and we never got down on anybody for making mis¬ takes,” said Coach Morrow. The teams accomplished a great deal. Five runners went to State competition dur¬ ing the Indoor season: sophomore Alan Reed, junior Rana Wiggins, junior Stephanie Hold- man, sophomore Madalyn Spivey, and junior Chantelle Evans. “We surprised some people during in¬ door season. Now, people who follow track know who we are!” said senior Willie Spight. Unfortunately, when the outdoor season began, the respect did not carry over. 1 t l, ' ■, JEm fikii i j M7 vf a mmmk Jl % 2 yi £ V t - i Vf Jm “The coaches felt we did not get the re¬ spect we deserved, so we had to start over and earn it again,” said junior James McRae. The Outdoor Team sent ten runners to Regionals and five runners to State competi¬ tion. Although the Girls’ Team had only four runners, it was still able to win a meet and came close to winning others. The team had one of the finest relay teams in the district, placing in every invitational meet. Outstanding girls were discus and shot- put thrower Wiggins, Evans, who broke a school record in the 220 meter dash with a time of 25.0, and Spivey who was named to the All-District Track Team. Team members, both boys and girls were proud of their accomplishments. UP, UP AND AWAY! Alan Reed flies over the bar in high jump competition against the Rams of Lafayette High School.

Managers, Fans Team managers, dedicated fans keep spirit up; provide needed support SOMEONE TO COUNT ON! T here were some people who nev¬ er stayed away. They were pres¬ ent at every game, braving the weather and field conditions along with the team. Not only were they there, they also carried water, picked up discarded equipment, and said an encour¬ aging word to a member of the team when¬ ever possible. They lent their support without compensation or thoughts of glo- ry-they were the team managers. “Yeah, it really makes you feel good when the school comes out to support you and the managers are on the side cheering you on!” said freshman Joseph Fluellen. Regardless of the sport, enthusiastic team managers and cheering, dedicated fans were often what made the difference for members of a team who were giving the LENDING SUPPORT! Basketball fans buy tick¬ ets before the game from Mr. Tyrus Woodard in the lobby of the gym. contest their best effort. “I’m glad we had very supportive managers and dedicated fans. There were many times when the team was going up against another tough team and I sort of felt defeated before we even played. But, as soon as I hit the field or the court and I heard the cheers and yells of the fans and the encouraging words of the managers, I automatically got psyched up and tried to do my best,” said junior Milan Brown. Managers agreed that the job took up a great deal of spare time and was hard work. They knew that they had to be dedi¬ cated. “I guess I would consider myself both a dedicated manager and a fan. I managed Varsity Football during the scrimmages over the summer and the first four games of the season. I had to give it up because my grades weren’t so hot, but I continued to endure the cold weather and I went to all of the home games and the District playoff game,” said junior Tiffany Brewton. “Being the Girls’ Basketball manager was an interesting experience,” said senior Tamara Bunch. “I’m glad I had the oppor¬ tunity. I learned how to be patient and how to deal with nasty attitudes,” she said. “Being JV Soccer manager was fun! I enjoyed it,” said sophomore Amy Obeck. For other students, one way to show their school spirit was to support the ath¬ letic teams. Some never missed a game and promised to continue their support. “I am a dedicated fan! Even when I’m off at college next year, I’m going to try to come home for some of the games,” said se¬ nior Sean Pomeroy. “I guess I’d consider myself a dedicat¬ ed fan. I went to most of the football games, all of the basketball games, some track meets, and some baseball games. They were a lot of fun,” said freshman Amy Ful- len. ON FILM!

After-school re¬ hearsals, candy sales, member recruitment, opening night “jitters,” early morning meetings, deadlines, in¬ itiations, community service, and long hours overtime were all part of making a commitment to a club or organization. Long after the 2:35 dismissal, the school continued to bustle with activity. That was the time when clubs and organizations came “alive and kicking.” Through club involvement, students gained satisfaction and self-confidence. Members de¬ voted much time and energy to extracurricular “sidekicks.” “The Drama Club did so much for everyone involved. Per¬ forming on stage was a great con¬ fidence builder. By the end of the year, we were a real family,” said senior Valerie Spencer. Spurred by various goals, each club or organization was out to get something accomplished. Debate, Forensics, DECA, and Tidewater Challenge concentrat¬ ed on competitions while the Model UN, and Youth and Gov¬ ernment stressed national issues. Other clubs focused on communi¬ ty and school service, production, and individual growth. Clubs were still “Alive and Kicking.” Organizations Divider ALTOGETHER NOW! KICK!

Majorettes, Flagtwirlers excite the crowd Girls spread KHS ‘fever’ S itting in the stands at a football game, your pulse quickened and you felt a surge of pride as the Majorettes and Flagtwirlers led the band on to the field. The band applauded their perform¬ ance and everyone seemed to be more ex¬ cited. It was called “catching Warrior Fe¬ ver,” and all those pretty girls in their green and white helped spread the spirit. But, it was not all accepting the praise of the crowd or waving flags for the fun of it. Being a Majorette or Flagtwirler meant spending many long hours of practice on hot, summer days to prepare for the season. Once the season arrived, the girls practiced with the band after school, perfecting their routines and learning new tricks for half-time performances. To be a Majorette or Flagtwirler, the girls had to be dedicated and think of themselves as a team. “Our coach stresses to us that we have to help each other before she’ll help us,” said junior Laura Brooks. Both groups also had to endure rain, snow, and freezing cold during their per¬ formances. “It wasn’t exactly too pleasant- dancing around the field in those scanty uniforms while it was snowing,” said Brooks, referring to the playoff game with Hampton in November. During the summer, the girls at¬ tended summer camp at Phoebus High School from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. They prac¬ ticed with the Phoebus squads. Flagtwirlers concentrated on gain¬ ing more recognition as an individual group, not just part of the band. “We have been better, more togeth¬ er, and more determined to be better than other flagtwirling squads,” said ju¬ nior Michelle Jackson. “We want to be be allowed to per¬ form at pep rallies,” explained Jackson. “We feel we play an important part in promoting school spirit, especially at football games and after them. We just want more recognition and appreciation of our efforts,” she explained. BURN, BABY, BURN! Twirling fire during the WATCH YOUR STEP!

Band , Art League use artistic abilities It ' s more than talent! I t. took talent and years of work for members of the Marching Band and the Art League to realize the fruits of their labors. Endless practices and many hours spent working on the drawing board were the road to receiving praise and winning awards for positive use of talent. Members of the Art League put their ar¬ tistic abilities to use decorating the school’ corridors. “We are emphasizing Warrior motifs in our halls,” explained Art League Sponsor Mrs. Cheryl Carter. “It is the beginning of a large wall painting project that will involve the main corridor and the cafeteria,” she added. Art League members also participated in the Homecoming Parade, won first place for Artistic Effort in the Thanksgiving Basket Project, made posters for National Art Month in March, and were involved in a Se¬ nior Show at the School Administration Cen¬ ter and Spring Art Shows with the Choral De¬ partment. Besides enjoying the spotlight at half¬ time during home football games, members of the band performed in the Phoebus Day Parade, the Hampton University Homecom¬ ing Parade, the opening of Coliseum Cross¬ ing, and the Hampton and Williamsburg Christmas Parades. “The most memorable event of the year was our first place finish in the Phoebus Day Parade,” said Band Director Mr. Paul Fergu¬ son. Band members had varied reasons for devoting numerous hours after school and during summer vacation to perfecting their talents. “I find satisfaction in getting the job done well, especially when the music all comes together and we march out on that field. It’s great!” said sophomore Chris Ken¬ nedy. ANOTHER POSTER! Art League member Pamela Poulson draws a poster to celebrate Na¬ tional Art Month in March.

The brief performances of both Mixed Chorus and A Cappella Choir were the pol¬ ished result of five hours of practice each week. The singers performed 10 times during the year, either in school assemblies or at the Hampton Coliseum.

Performing artists enjoy lights, applause The show must go on! S ingers, dancers, and actors agreed that giving an outstanding perform¬ ance and entertaining an audience was worth the many long, arduous hours of practice and rehearsals. Harbor Lights, Touch of Jade, and the Drama Club knew that “the show must go on!” “I love to hear the audience clapping and when I know that I’ve gone on stage and done my best it is very rewarding,” said senior Jan¬ et Browning, a member of Touch of Jade. Companionship and meeting new people were benefits of belonging to the performing groups. An important lesson learned was how to get along with each other and perform to¬ gether as one group. “It doesn’t matter whether you get along with everyone because when you get up on stage, you have to put all differences aside. Everything must come together as smoothly as possible,” said senior Lori Hilbert, a Dra¬ ma Club member. “I love everyone in Harbor Lights! I think everyone gets along great together. We are more or less a bunch of friends who like to do the same thing,” said senior Stephanie Ingram, a member of the performing show choir. Other benefits were a chance to travel and an opportunity to overcome shyness and stage fright. “Drama Club helps individuals to open up a part of themselves to other people through acting. I have overcome much of my shyness by acting,” said senior Valerie Spen¬ cer, president of the Drama Club and female lead in “Bye, Bye Birdie,” the Drama Club’s spring musical. Harbor Lights participated in festivals and show choir competitions in Raleigh, North Carolina and Lynchburg, Virginia. They also entertained in Hampton for several civic groups. Touch of Jade made its contribution at home, performing in the Daily Press Christ¬ mas Concert at the Coliseum and in school assemblies. The Drama Club produced a series of one-act plays in the fall and hosted the first Dinner Theater in history! The musical “Bye, Bye, Birdie” was the club’s most ambitious production to date.

BACK ROW: Mrs. Mary Tarver, Patrick Performance Winning publications no snap ’ to complete Staffs work A nyone who thought it was a “snap” to publish an award winning newspaper, yearbook, or literary magazine just didn’t know what they were talking about. “I never dreamed there was this much work to the publications,” said first year staffer junior Angela Mitchell. “I’m not sure I’ll ever learn it all or do it right,” she added. For the staff of the Tomahawk and Tribal Tales, working on the publica¬ tions consumed many Saturday morn¬ ings, vacation days, and extra afternoons after school. There was always a deadline to meet in order to publish eight issues of the paper and complete the 256 page yearbook on schedule. “It’s a real team effort,” explained Editor-in-Chief of the Tomahawk Kris¬ tin Siemann. “You need good, depend¬ able photographers, good copy, lots and lots of details, like names, and good ‘ideas.’ We don’t finish until June,” she overtime said. Produced by the same staff, Tribal Tales was another challenge. Staffers needed constant good story ideas and unlimited energy to publish the eight issues. “We had a successful year,” said Co- Editor Kristy Alligood. There were lots of improvements and we had a lot of fun along with all the hard work,” she added. ’’The Torch is the only publication where anyone who does quality work can be published,” said junior Karl Otto. But, the literary magazine also had its share of problems. “First, we switched sponsors in the middle of the year and then we decided to do the magazine on a computer using a program called Page Maker. It was a real challenge, but we were pleased with our first effort,” said Otto. “I LIKE THAT ONE!” Michele Amick gets in¬ structions on reading selections from Torch Edi¬ tor LaTondra Murray while Karl Otto makes com¬ ments in the margin of a paper.

Production Club members promote expression , awareness ’The best you can be!’ S haking off the typical preoccupa¬ tion with fund raising, extra-in¬ volvement clubs focused on pro¬ moting personal expression and “being the best they could be!” “It has always been my desire to get students to express themselves,” said Mrs. Cleta Still, sponsor of the Radio and TV Club. By offering a means of expression, this set of clubs channelled the energy of teens towards beneficial ends. “We provide a constructive outlet for youth,” said Mr. Richard McDonald, Pho¬ tography Club sponsor, who encouraged creativity. As well as furnishing a channel for cre¬ ativity, the clubs provided a medium through which members could display their talents and convey their concerns to the community. Noted for its prior efforts in this vein, the Science Club encouraged members to exhibit science projects by sponsoring the third annual Intramural Science Fair, January 21. “We hope to increase exposure of sci¬ entific efforts in the community,” said se¬ nior Jason Reed, Science Club vice presi¬ dent. The Radio and TV Club and the Ecol¬ ogy Club were active in a variety of commu¬ nity projects, including a 30-minute News Review show and a paper-recycling proj¬ ect. “There is a need to develop awareness of ecological issues and inform the public of these concerns,” said Mrs. Tyla Balk- will, sponsor of the Ecology Club.

Language Clubs I Fundraisers provide cash for club projects ‘The art of sharing’ cc S alve” and “Guten Tag” meant “hello” or “good day” in Latin and German and members of those lan¬ guage clubs often used them to begin a “sales pitch.” “Salve!” “Wouldn’t you like to buy a doughnut and some orange juice?” asked ju¬ nior Saqib Talibi, a Latin Club member. “Guten Tag!” We’re selling Advent Cal¬ endars for Christmas. Like to order some?” asked senior Frances Bennett, a member of the German Club. Fundraising and sharing cultural experi¬ ences during Foreign Language Week were the primary activities of both clubs. In addi¬ tion to learning a foreign language, members learned the “art of sharing.” Funds raised by both clubs through can¬ dy sales, doughnut sales, and other activities were used to help others. “The German Club donated to the Thanksgiving basket project, gave money at Christmas to the Daily Press, and sponsored a scholarship,” explained Bennett. The Latin Club’s doughnut and orange juice sale was a big success and club members used the money to help others by donating it to charity. “The results were good and it was a really good idea,” said sophomore Margaret Hamil¬ ton. Both clubs celebrated Foreign Language Week by making posters to display in CD Hall and preparing typical foreign dishes for the Foreign Language Week luncheons, a tra¬ ditional club activity.

Spanish and French teacher Mrs. Tyla Balkwill greets a traveling Spanish musical troupe who performed at a special assembly for foreign language students. H elping the less fortunate and participating in cultural experi¬ ences unique to the country they were studying, members of the French and Spanish Clubs had a successful year. Both groups raised funds through candy sales and other projects to donate to worth¬ while community projects and both prepared Thanksgiving food baskets for the Peninsula Rescue Mission. At Christmas, the clubs chose a name from the Angel Tree at Coliseum Mall and donated gifts for that child. In addition, the Spanish Club donated money to the Battered Women’s Shelter in Hampton and the French Club adopted an Indonesian child providing $300 of its hard-earned funds towards the child’s support. “I thought it was a very original idea,” said junior Conchitina Sutingco. “Instead of raising money to spend on ourselves, we raised it to help this little Indonesian boy,” she explained. During Foreign Language Week in March, French and Spanish students hosted a variety of activities. Each club hosted a lun¬ cheon during the week when students pre¬ pared dishes of the country they were study¬ ing. Numerous guest speakers and activities were also planned. Folk singer Robin Welch entertained Spanish classes with his music and foreign exchange students visited classes. “I enjoy watching students increase their knowledge and explore activities that use the language. Most of our projects have helped others,” said Spanish Club sponsor Mrs. Nan Jordan. Foreign language students also attended a performance by a Spanish musical traveling troupe in the auditorium. The third and fourth period assembly was enjoyed by all who attended. “The Spanish Club is a good experience because you get to help other people and learn about different customs and people throughout the world,” said sophomore Sheila Barnhart. Most foreign language students agreed that joining a club was “worthwhile.” ENTERTAINMENT TIME!

After a complete renovation of their club, Key Club members got down to the im¬ portant business-serving the community. “We had a few problems last year with the club. Major changes were needed and it took all last year to do it. But, we finally got on track and have had a great year,” said Key Club President Hugh Milteer. Key Clubbers held a Christmas party for the Big Brothers Big Sisters children, raised money for the American Heart Association, gave a pizza party for underprivileged chil¬ dren and a birthday party for kindergarten children at Francis Asbury Elementary School. They also presented Mayor Eason with a Constitutional Bicentennial flag. Keyette service projects were also a ben¬ efit to the community. They participated in a District project for Veterans and an Inter¬ national project for the Special Olympics. Seasonally, they collected for the Salvation Army at Christmas and conducted an Easter Egg hunt at LaPetite Nursery School. They also contributed to the Battered Women’s Shelter. “Most members enjoyed the fellowship of the other girls, but most of all, they felt the joy of helping other people,” said Co-Sponsor Mrs. Debra Mortimer. On a smaller scale, the Sociology Club learned about human behavior by participat¬ ing in community projects. At Christmas, members visited the Hampton Convalescent Center and took two needy children to visit Santa and shop at Children’s Palace. “The most important thing we learned from these experiences was the feeling you get when you know you have helped to make someone in the community feel special,” said President Amy Wheeler. Other members agreed that volunteering gave them a “special feeling.” A WORD OF APPRECIATION!

Clinic aide Greyson Schwing checks the blood pressure of an ailing Michael Osborne un¬ der the watchful eye of Nurse Joyce Geithmann. Student aides made things better , easier Helping out important A s defined in Webster’s New World Dictionary, the word “help” meant to make things eas¬ ier or better for someone else. That is what members of the Library Audio Visual Club, Natural Helpers, and student aides accepted as their role in the functioning of the school. “Being an aide made me feel important because I was doing things that only a hand¬ ful of other students were doing,” said junior Amy Patrick, an aide for the Dean of Girls. Students aides were placed in a variety of responsible positions ranging from assis¬ ting the Deans to working in the clinic and offices. “Responsibility has a lot to do with being any kind of an aide. It’s like having another subject, but no homework!” said junior Mi¬ chael Sullivan. Library and AV aides stacked books, manned the desk, and often helped students locate research materials. “Sometimes, during the lunch periods, the library got hectic. But, we did our best to keep it under control,” said senior Judy Sin. Library assistants also decorated the li¬ brary for Christmas and celebrated National Library Week w ith a club feast. Natural Helpers assumed the role of peer counselors in the school and extended their roles as advisors to the middle and elementa¬ ry schools. “I feel like I have accomplished some¬ thing with another student and made an im¬ portant contribution to my peers,” said ju¬ nior Kristin Romjue.

Competitions Trio uses brains not brawn in competition Teams finish on top C ompeting with brains, not brawn, was the key to the success of three competitive teams, Forensics, De¬ bate, and Tidewater Challenge. For members, research, preparation, and hours of practice filled the spare time be¬ tween competitions. One of 60 teams to enter the competition, The Tidewater Challenge Team was the first of the three to establish a name for itself and break some school records. The team won its first rounds by healthy margins only to final¬ ly lose to Menchville in the spring and be¬ come one of the final eight teams to compete. “The team works really well together. We had a little trouble with the rounds at first, but we got it running smoothly,” said senior Captain Peter Welch. Surprising all of the competition, The Forensics Team and new sponsor Mrs. Jeanne Oliver brought home nine trophies from District competition. District cham¬ pions were seniors Raymond Alves, Marguer¬ ite Lewis and Nancy Petticolas, and sopho¬ more Ann Marie Wesen. Both Petticolas and Wesen competed in Regionals and the Tournament of Cham¬ pions. Wesen was also a State Forensics meet competitor. The 15 seniors and 3 sophomores on the team competed in different events. They in¬ cluded Extemporaneous Speaking, Prose, Po¬ etry, Original Oration, Humor, and Dramatic Interpretation. Headed by Captain Naved Jafri and Co- Captain Richard Walters, the Debate Team competed in Districts and Regionals. The 1987- ’88 topic for debate was “Should the United States adopt a policy to increase political stabil¬ ity in Latin America?” Jafri and Walters comprised the Negative Team and junior Pascal Lewis and sophomore Chris Hall were the Affirmative Team. For the first time, the Debaters formed a novice team. Negative novices were sophomore Natalie Cumpson and sophomore Glenn Lavezzi. Affir¬ mative novices were freshmen Mike Behan and Brian Worthington. Other members of the team were sophomores Lakshmi Chaudhuri and Ar¬ lene Pace. “I was extremely proud of my debaters, es¬ pecially the novices who hold a lot of promise for the future. Naved and Richard were excel¬ lent leaders for the team. All of the debaters worked very hard. It is a difficult and time-con¬ suming task,” said Debate Team Sponsor Ms. Emma Flood.

L ' JPII Forums, discussions focus on vital issues Members voice concerns I t did not come easy! Members of the Model UN, Youth and Government, and Hampton Youth Council put in hours of hard work to prepare for discussions and debates on world issues and student concerns. In September, Hampton Youth Council sponsored a forum to give students an oppor¬ tunity to express their concerns about city government. The Forum allowed representa¬ tives of school organizations to ask questions about specific school policies. “The support of the students helped make our third annual Forum a success. There were more students attending the Fo¬ rum than in previous years and we are looking forward to another one,” said Hampton Youth Council Sponsor Ms. Emma Flood. Model UN team members attended an ODU Model UN Conference at the Omni Ho¬ tel in Norfolk in February. “It not only focused on International to¬ pics but it also taught the rudiments of poli¬ tics,” said sophomore Jennifer Cui. The Model UN also participated in fund raising events. The Youth and Government Club held a “mock trial” in downtown Hampton in De¬ cember. Students worked with local attor¬ neys in presenting court cases. The trial afforded members insight on how the judicial system works. “I was involved in the ’mock trial.’ I was able to work with local attorneys and I learned a lot from them,” said senior JoAnne Carter. Carter, a member of the Youth and Gov¬ ernment Club, was selected to argue a case in front of the Virginia Supreme Court in March based on her performance during the “mock trial.” She was the first student from Hamp¬ ton to be selected. “We were all so proud of JoAnne’s ac¬ complishments. It is quite an honor to have a student selected to appear before the State Supreme Court,” said Mrs. Joyce Elling- sworth, sponsor of Youth and Government. BUDDING LAWYER!

For SCA President Erika Allen, the task was an important one. “The SCA and ICC are the foundation of every club in school. We bring them togeth¬ er and mold them into one unified student body,” explained Allen. “Improved communication was one of our goals,” explained SCA Sponsor Mr. Wil¬ liam Cawley. “We tried to insure that repre¬ sentatives had copies of the minutes and shared them with students. The message board was another means of improving com¬ munication,” he said. Representatives were the key to good communication. “As SCA representatives, we were active in relaying the messages of students. This gave them an active role in the activities planned and informed the officers of what students felt,” said senior Reggie High. Fund raisers included voting for Basket¬ ball Homecoming King, and the Save A Sweetheart program. Other major activities included participating in the Thanksgiving and Christmas charity projects, reading morning announcements, holding regular meetings, and operating the computerized message board mounted in the cafeteria. “Everyone, officers and delegates, worked together to achieve our goals. I am pleased with some of the new projects we launched. I think the SCA was effective stu¬ dent government,” said Allen.

Centering its Thanksgiving and Christ¬ mas projects around others, the FHA pre¬ pared a lavish feast for the Battered Women’s Shelter and visited the Shelton Nursing Home to entertain the elderly. “I feel the elderly should be paid more attention, especially at Christmas time. We enjoyed making ’em smile,” said FHA mem¬ ber junior Stephanie Bell. In February, the FHA participated in a week of activities celebrating FHA Week. Color Day, a rally at Bethel High School, Teacher Appreciation Day, and the Dance for Heart on February 12 were the events sched¬ uled. The Dance for Heart, held after school in the gym, was sponsored by the FHA to ben¬ efit the research and education programs of the American Heart Association. The dance raised over $400 for the association. Members of FBLA participated in Re¬ gional and Spring conferences at Thomas Nelson Community College, adopted a grandmother at Christmas and raised money for the Project ASK (Association for the Study of Childhood Cancer). “I enjoy the conferences,” said FBLA member junior Leslie Burney. “They are in¬ teresting because every member learns some¬ thing new which is what FBLA is all about.” Although membership was part of the curriculum, both FHA and FBLA members gained a sense of accomplishment from the clubs.

Future Clubs 225 Members make commitments to peer groups All because ‘we care’ or Students Against Drunk Driv- H ing and members of the Transfer Adjustment Group, making a commitment to their peer group was their primary objective. “The most important aspect of SADD was assuming the commitment to make students aware of the dangers and horrors of driving drunk,” explained SADD Spon¬ sor Mrs. Janelle Proctor. With vastly increased membership and the slogan “Celebrate Safe ’88; Arrive Alive,” SADD planned special projects to keep members active and to make other students aware of the need for sobriety when driving an automobile. The biggest project of the year was the Prom. “Our busiest time of the year is before the Prom,” said sophomore Brittney Hel- dreth. “We are constantly trying to empha¬ size the message-‘if you are going to drink, don’t drive!”’ she explained. “We gave every senior a key chain with the theme on it and we handed out infor¬ mation to florists, tuxedo rental stores, and students. We also had the police deliver a presentation called ‘Scared Straight,’” said Mrs. Proctor. Members of TAG found the busiest time of the year was at the beginning when new, bewildered students needed their help and guidance. “I moved here from Ohio and became a member of TAG. Other members showed us around the school and it made me feel more secure about the environment,” said senior Michelle Cretella. Meeting only first semester, TAG sponsored several activities to help new students adjust to the school. An orienta¬ tion before school started informed new students about rules, club activities, and sports. The orientation also included a tour of the school. Other activities included going to foot¬ ball games as a group, a cookout at Sponsor Ms. Tedda Campbell’s home, and a table reserved at lunch for the first weeks of school. “TAG is important for newcomers to the school. It is a way of easing the transi¬ tion period,” explained Ms. Campbell. GETTING THE FACTS STRAIGHT!

The National Honor Society, French Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, and Mu Al¬ pha Theta all chose members based on grade averages and overall excellence in an area. Members of National Honor, the top stu¬ dents in the junior and senior classes, partici¬ pated in the Marine Corps Toys for Tots proj¬ ect and donated to needy families through the Thanksgiving Basket Drive. Members also gave tutorial assistance to students. The Society held two inductions, an in¬ formal ceremony in December and a formal initiation, May 10 in the auditorium. Twen¬ ty-seven students were initiated into the So¬ ciety. “The National Honor Society is a club for hard workers and achievers and I’m honored to be part of it,” said senior Esther Han. The French Honor Society and Quill and Scroll, an international honor society for high school journalists, recognized students who excelled in a particular area. Both societies held initiation ceremonies in the spring. “Being a member proves that we have worked hard at the language and it is an en¬ tertaining break from academics,” said soph¬ omore Lakshmi Chaudhuri, a member of the French Honor Society. Outstanding math students belonged to Mu Alpha Theta and took part in Virginia High School League contests. “The math tests are a challenge and show what you have learned in your classes,” said Mu Alpha Theta member junior Mary Holland Wood.

Mrs. Caroline Witherspoon and Mr. Craig Bashaw check out the PTA’s Teacher Appreciation Day goodies. Businesses, fans lend SUPPORT PTA PRIZE! Mrs. Judith McPherson, winner of the PTA centerpiece on Teacher Apprecia¬ tion Day, admires her prize. ocal businesses, fans, faculty, Boosters, parents, and the PTA all had one thing in common- they all offered the financial and moral support that was needed to make the year “Alive and Kick¬ ing!” By offering students jobs and purchasing advertisements in programs and publications, busi¬ nesses provided the “life support” needed for a successful year. “Without the businesses that bought ads, our newspaper and yearbook would have been in real trouble. The financial help was re¬ ally ‘life support’,” said senior Beth Witherspoon, managing edi¬ tor of the Tomahawk. Organizations like the Boost¬ er Club and Band Parents lent a “helping hand” to athletic pro¬ grams and the band. The Boost¬ er’s Club ran a Tuesday night bin- go game to provide money for ath¬ letic programs and Band Parents helped chaperone and promote band activities. Loyal fans bought tickets to games, helped underwrite the cost of uniforms and equipment, and cheered players on to victory. From banquets to sweatshirt sales, generous support from many people helped make the year “Alive and Kicking!” Local Support Divider t ABERDEEN HAIR CLINIC 242 ACADEMICS DIVIDER 114 Adams, Diane 72 Adams, Hatchel 72 Adams, Jeffrey 72, 182, 208 Adams, Laura 72 Adams, Lisa 72, 202 ADAMS, MRS.

Mrs. Booth began her career as a history teacher at Kecoughtan in 1965. She left to be a guidance coun¬ selor at Jeff Davis Junior High but re¬ turned to KHS as the Dean of Girls when the position became vacant. “I feel very close and loyal to Kec¬ oughtan,” said Mrs. Booth. “I’m going to miss it very much!” Known for her caring and under¬ standing ways, Mrs. Booth was popu¬ lar with students and always ready to lend a hand. “I like working with Mrs. Booth because she is so nice and easy to talk to. She helps me whenever I have a problem or feel down,” said junior Amy Patrick. An accident in the fall caused Mrs. Booth to miss several months of the year.

You don’t have to be in critical condition to get special care at Hampton General or HOPE Medical Center. Because no matter why you come to us—for a broken finger or major surgery—you’ll get the treatment from our staff. Treatment that includes a genuine interest in your problem. Sensitive responses to your needs or worries. And a healthy dose of old fashioned concern. In short, intensive care. Just one way we work harder to make our patients feel better.

Officers unite classes in spirit through fundraisers, dances, trips T he foundation of stu¬ dent power lay in the hands of the class offi¬ cers. The officers rep¬ resented the aspirations of the students. Leading their classes to unity and creating a friendly, social atmosphere, the class officers planned activities to strength¬ en school spirit and bring mem¬ bers together. Fundraisers, like candy and doughnut sales, balloons, T- shirts, and various gift items, helped the classes pay for their various activities. Juniors used funds to transform the cafete¬ ria for their 1988 Ring Dance and seniors held their Prom in the new and impressive Radis- son Hotel in downtown Hamp¬ ton. Freshmen came into their own during the year. They raised money for a Water Country trip and a possible ski trip next year. “I’ve been collecting money and finding out the cost of the trips,” said freshman class trea¬ surer Stephen Hurst. “I want to run for an office every year, so I can help the class,” he added. The Sophomore Class was busy raising money for its 1989 Ring Dance. Many sophomores cleaned house for their spring bazaar. They also sold candy. “My job as a class president is to satisfy my classmates’ needs. I ran for president be¬ cause I wanted to have a say about what happens in our class,” said President Amy Obeck. Juniors were proud of their class spirit and bragged about their accomplishments. They won first place in the football Homecoming float competition and enjoyed a Ring Dance that drew rave reviews. Junior Milan Brown was named the Homecoming Bas¬ ketball King, another unex¬ pected junior victory. A junior fundraising project was a T-shirt sale with the names of all of the juniors on it. “The officers help each other out. It’s team work,” said Class Vice President Mary Holland Wood. “I enjoy getting involved in my class,” said President Stephanie Raines. “I think everybody did a great job. It makes me happy to see so many people concerned with their class,” added histori¬ an Kris Obeck. A change mid-year in Senior Class leadership only slightly affected the Executive Board’s plans for the rest of the year. The new President, Jennifer Kersis, took over the reins ca¬ pably and kept the seniors on track until the end of the year. “My senior year was really great, but it went by too fast in some respects and too slow in others,” said senior Kristy Alli- good. Seniors sold cups, candy, bal¬ loons, and class T-shirts to fi¬ nance their activities. They held the Prom in the classy Radisson Hotel and planned a new, spectacular ending to the year, Senior Week. “The Prom was really fun. Everyone was dancing and hav¬ ing a good time at the Radisson. But, the parties afterwards were the best part of the eve¬ ning,” said senior Kristin Siem- ann. Senior Week was held prior to Class Night and Senior Skip, two lasting traditions of the class. Monday of Senior Week was Career College Day, Tues¬ day was Dress-Up Day, Wednesday was ’88 T-shirt Day and seniors wore their ’88 T-Shirts to Class Night. Thursday was ’88 Day and Friday was the annual Skip Day, a day when seniors think they are “legally” skipping school. “I have really enjoyed my se¬ nior year. It has definitely been one to remember although I’m relieved that it’s finally over,” said senior Traci Turner. Thomas, Kenneth 101, 132, 210 THOMAS, MR.
