The addition- al seventh period made for a long day, with classes beginning at 8:35 instead of 8:55. The new time schedule enabled students to eam more credits while keeping a study hall. Cindy Statzer (jr.) voiced a common complaint when she commented, “| don’t like waking up SO early Pioneer Spotlight 1987 Lebanon High School © we BOXe2 et Lebanon, Virginia 24266 Volume 43 Introduction 1 SPO As the year progressed the spotlight shifted. At one time or another each per- son, activity, or club had an opportunity to take center stage, or at least to be part of the main attraction. As usual, the spotlight of- ten focused upon sports or related activities such as victory dances or awards banquets. On the first day of school Brian Stanford (soph.) approaches 2 Theme coe” Ge Academic activities also stood out at times. Test scores, college applica- tions, and academic awards were an important part of many students’ year. Teachers, who were often expected to know all of the answers, spent much of their time in front of a class in the spotlight. And finally, student life By ge 5 4 was almost continually the main attraction. Each day offered new experiences or opportunities which al- lowed students to step into the spotlight. The spotlight followed the school year carefully. At one time or another it hit every person or activity. ” DEC Lan ) : MEET AT 9: Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Sabo with a question concerning his - The schedule.

Perhaps, before the re- ality of high school hit them in the face. They entered a new world with hope, excitement, and above all, uncertainty. A hundred ques- tions raced through their minds. ‘‘What will my teachers be like?” “Will I fit in here?’ It was a new and exciting atmosphere, awe- some to comp rehend at first sight. It was easy to understand the anxiety that the freshmen felt when en- countering the vast hallways. Football games are enough to in- marching band, put down her in- spire spirit in anyone.

Others, however, fell short of the spotlight but gained a special place in the shadows. Mini-Mag 7 Colombian student enjoys U.S. As a foreign exchange student, Juan Pablo Sanchez experienced different things in America than in his native born Colombia, South America home. His host parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucky Mock, opened their doors to allow Juan to experi- ence the hospitality of the Ameri- can people. Juan reflected upon his thoughts of America in the following inter- view: How are teenagers different here than in Colombia? Teenag ers in Colombia don’t have cars and aren’t able to drive at such an early age. Teenagers there have places to go, such as discos, and don’t worry about curfew as much. Do you like high school? Yes, it is a lot different. More studying down in Colombia, not as much here. | like pep rallies, foot- ball games, and all student activities. What made you want to come to America? To learn English, and for having for college an experience. What really stands out in your mind about America? Their government is good. Ser- vices such as roads, schools, etc. that people pay for in Colombia are free here. | like that everybody can participate in sports here. In Co- lombia, children are kept from sports because of social class. 8 Mini-Mag Big day arrives As usual, the day that class rings arrived was exciting for members of the junior class. They finally re- ceived the ‘proof’ that they were upperclassmen. Each person received a personal- ized ring. Although some people chose a simple, but traditional ring, each ring was personally designed. Some people chose more modem — — — rings which they could wear for years thereafter. Personal plates .

The new drum major, Melanie Kas- nake, made a bold fashion statement with her specially made uniform. The short, black satin skirt and shirt, both partially sequined, were accented by high-top black boots, a red satin vest with sequins, and a red hat with a large black feather.

Exchange student studies abroad Last year we were privileged to host eighteen-year-old Genevieve Bosmans, a foreign exchange stu- dent from Louvain, Belgium. Gene- vieve reflected her warm personal- ity and some of her thoughts in this interview: Q — How do schools here differ from those in Belgium? A — The school in Belgium is more difficult and more strict. You don’t have the same schedule every day, but every week your schedule is the same. Q — Why did you choose the U.S.? A — Because like Europe is for the American teenager, America is for the European one. Because of the 10 Mini-Mag STUDENTS AGAINST DRIVING DRUNK English language, I had to choose between England, Australia and the U.S. England was too near Belgium, and Australia was so unknown. Q — What would you like to do most while in the U.S.? A — | don't really know, but I would like to do as much as I can — like travel, sports, any kind of activities. Q — What will you remember most about your stay here? A — It’s a bit early to say now, but I will always remember Lebanon High School and its students. | think that I will also remember your mountains and hills! 5 a SO Spending big adds up Spending money — a lot of it — was a common practice for most high school students. besides the necessities, such as food and cloth- ing, other things like recreation and entertainment were also very important. All of these things, how- ever, often proved to be expensive. Clothes alone often ran up terri- bly high bills; $45 jeans, $50 sweat- ers, and $40 shoes were only the beginning. The accessories such as $20 hair cuts, $30 watches and $25 per oz. perfume also added to the expenses. Entertainment and recreation such as $4 movie visits, $3 ball games, $5 school dances, and $8 concerts added even more. Operating a vehicle was also a common expense. Gas and insur- ance alone were expensive, not to mention repairs and the cost of an occasional speeding ticket. Finally, the ‘‘biggest’’ such as the prom and graduation ran up bills for hundreds of dollars for some people. These expenses prompted many teen-agers to get a job. “Shoney’’ begins his career Outside of the classroom he was “Shoney’’ to most of the student body. But when the bell rang, and an official school day began, he became “Mr. Farmer.’ After a four year ab- sence, Kevin “Shoney’’ Farmer was back, only this time he was the teach- er — not the student. After graduation from high school, Mr. Farmer attended Radford Universi- ty where he obtained a B.S. degree in earth science. He said his first choice of subjects to teach was social sci- ence, but he chose to teach earth sci- ence because it was his hobby, and there were more teaching jobs open in that field. When asked why he wanted to come back to his old high school to begin his career, Mr. Farmer joked, “Everything is free — free food! I can live at home. I don’t even need a car.” He added, “Also, it is my brother's senior year, and I’m glad I’m here to see it. Discipline was not a problem for Mr. Farmer. He said he thought that stu- dents respected him just as much as they did other teachers. He said some even respected him more because of his age and because he tried to com- municate on their level.

While hosting the John Battle Trojans, the Pioneers showed that they were ready for a strong season. They sought and gained a 7-0 victory over the Trojans. Throughout the season, the Pioneers fought to put losing in the past and to gain respect. The key ef- forts of the offensive line, the running backs and the receivers proved that they were a force to be reckoned with. Defensively, the team’s aggressive pressure on the opposition produced excellent results. This change of pace sur- prised and delighted the fans by proving beyond a doubt that Lebanon could develop a winning tradition with that little extra effort. “This year’s football season meant a lot to the team.

All athletes and their parents were invited to cele- brate the end of the season and the recognition of out- standing athletes.

Teachers Leave Summer Plans Senior Superlatives Special Olympics Snow Storm in April Virginia The major events and Star attractions occu- pied the spotlight. Oth- ers, however, fell short of the spotlight but gained a special place in the shadows. Mini-Mag 159 Students take serious time Bomb threats and bus evacua- tion drills gave students and teach- ers a break from classes and an unexpected recess from an other- wise routine day. On a nice day, some welcomed a few minutes or even a couple of hours out of class. Others, however, were not at all happy to miss a study hall or a planning period. And on _ those rainy, cold days when a bomb threat sent everyone out to face the elements, none seemed too happy. Bomb threats were laughed off as a joke by some unknown prankster, and bus evacuation drills were also taken lightly. Both of these events, however, did have a very serious purpose. Bus evacuation drills 160 Mini-Mag were designed to teach students to remain calm and act rationally in an emergency situation. During these drills, students practiced quickly and safely evacuating a school bus. Bomb threats also taught students and teachers to evacuate the building quickly. — These threats were, in fact, serious © enough to require fire and police officials to respond to the call. Whatever the situation, bomb threats and bus evacuation drills caused students and teachers to miss several classes during the year. And at the same time, they provided a knowledge of how to handle an emergency situation. A group of students prepare to board the bus for a bus evacuation drill. Club members hit the road School was more than just sitting in a classroom for those students who went on school-related trips. These trips gave students the chance to spend several nights in dif- ferent cities. The trips were more than just a vacation from school by involving some sort of educational com- petition or seminar, however students usually had extra time for relaxation and entertainment. Six of the Pioneer staff members traveled to Char- lottesville, VA for a workshop to help them produce an ex- citing yearbook. Being held at the University of Virginia, the workshop gave them the chance to tour UVA’s campus. They also had some free time for shopping, movies, and din- ing at some of the fine restau- rants of the area. Several Hi-Y members trav- eled to Richmond to partici- pate in the Virginia Model General Assembly. This was an excellent way for them to gain knowledge of how our state government operates. These students stayed at the John Marshall Hotel, which has: the reputation of being one of the finest in Richmond. They also had the chance to visit the newly constructed Sixth Street Market Place. Finally, the members of the FBLA had the chance to visit Richmond and Williamsburg to attend various business seminars and competitions on a State level. These students toured the Capitol building and also visited King’s Dominion. All of these trips provided a variety of experiences for stu- dents. Although given time for fun, they were required to ac- cept the responsibility for their own supervision. Even being carefully chaperoned, they spent a lot of time on their own. These trips proved to be educational as well as enjoyable. Senior Class Superlatives WARMEST SMILE — Amanda Home Jason Bamey COOLEST — Sharon Adams Michael Dotson MOST TALENTED — Mary B.

Whether a person had keys or not, they still had an assortment of keychains to show off to their friends. Even though girls usually carried more than the boys, keychains were among the popular fads of the time. BANON TIRE RECAPPING, INC. Mini-Mag 163 Index A A ® S Fencing 151 A.

The copy was put on disks and sent with the fin- ished layout to be printed. Once layouts were as- signed and pictures taken, the layouts were drawn.

As she iden- tified each individual, she wrote the name on the back. Students must know the basics of annual-making, and as with every class, taking notes is a must for the fifth period journalism class. Using a new computer program for production of copy, Laura Sykes (sr.) puts a finished layout on the computer. Annuals are distributed, a job made easy by Sylvia Warner (adv.), Brian Hartsock, Chris Clark, and Tracy Holmes (srs.). The final pro- duction step was distribution.

Colophon Volume 43 of the Lebanon High School Pioneer was made possible by the yearbook staff, which is incorporated into the journalism classes. The pub- lishing company for the Pioneer was the American Yearbook Company of Clarksville, Tennessee. Danny Boring, the company representative, worked closely with the staff and provided much assistance. Our greatest appreciation goes to Mr. Boring. The 350 copies of the 8 1 2 X 11, 172 page book were printed on gloss paper with the base ink color of black. The cover, designed by the staff at a Josten’s workshop, was silkscreened white on black. The ap- proximate cost was $10,000. Captions were printed in eight point Benguiat type, body copy in ten point, and the main heading in 30 point. Graphics for the divider page were designed by our own Michael Dotson (sr.). Endsheet specifica- tions included a base color of white with applied 30% gray screening. Also, front endsheets were printed with the contents of this book. Special acknowledge- ments go to Chris King (jr.) for his work in special graphics. Elmer Phillippi of Delmar was the school photogra- pher; however, many of the action shots were taken by our own Staff photographers or given to us by Jerry Lark, editor of the Lebanon News. We wish to thank both Mr. Phillippi and Mr. Lark. Leta Bartee and Sylvia Warner were Our advisors. Special thanks to them for their time and effort.
