Mr. Glen Stark assumed his new position as principal, Mr. George Warren became vice-principal and former DE teacher John Whitesell be- came administrative assistant. In the fall of 1980 the Scarlet Hurri- cane entered the Blue Ridge District and encountered a new host of op- ponents. The neutral color of gray was added to the school colors of red and white. The football team proudly displayed new uniforms, and Standing outside the building on the first morn- ing of school, Chris Knudson, Connie Colonna, and Karen Hostetter compare their class sched- ules.

(right) the marching band showed off new uniforms and flags during the first few weeks of school. A new addition to school life was the installation of combination locks on all lockers. Although Mr. Bill Pultz had his hands full repairing stubborn and defective locks, students soon adjusted to the change. The faculty and the student body alike were amazed when the City of Lexington and Rockbridge County fi- nally constructed a new school park- ing lot, eliminating the huge potholes. The roads in front of the school were re-directed, creating mass confusion for a few days, until everyone learned the new routes. Although a new school year always begins with trepidation and anxiety as we face the unknown, students looked forward to the changes that would occur in 1980-841. We enthusi- astically greeted new opportunities and prospects at the dawn of a dec- ade. = SS i Tg A city crew member plows through the broken asphalt and rubble of the parking lot, eliminating all traces of potholes.

Tubas, tans and trips Summer. It’s a word that conjures up visions of white beaches and lazy afternoons spent lolling by the pool. For Neeltje Henneman and Sara and Helen Peebles, it also meant traveling to new and different places. Neeltje spent the summer babysitting for a family in Fairbanks, Alaska, while Sara and Helen were traveling throughout Alaska, California, and Mexico. Sara said, “| think getting out and meeting other people and experiencing an- other culture has a lot more meaning than just a book education.” The summer of ‘80 was memorable for several students who were select- ed to represent the school in special programs. For Glenn Skutt, summer meant a continuance of his education at the Governor's School for the Gifted at Randolph-Macon Women’s Col- lege. Lisa Bane, Liza Davis, and Donnie Delaney spent a week at Girls’ State at Longwood College; Lee Glenn, Charles Lauck, and Stanley Lewis par- ticipated in Boys’ State at Lynchburg College. Charles remarked, ‘| had a lot of fun and met a lot of neat people.” Members of the band, under new director Charles Torian, marched through the hot days of August at the Kennys’ farm. Junior Ronnie Canfield said, ‘The only thing | liked about band camp was throwing Mr. Torian in the water.”’ Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders practiced their cheering skills at a four- day camp at Lynchburg College. Many students had local jobs and worked diligently throughout the sum- mer months, always succeeding in finding some hours in which to enjoy the summer fun. With mixed emotions students greeted the end of August and the beginning of a new school year. Although never eager to start schoolwork, the noisy crowd that gathered around the school on the first day of school seemed happy to seize the opportunity to renew old friend- ships and to make new ones.

The cheerleaders sold red, white and pink carnations. All of the classes rushed through last-min- ute preparations for their floats. Every morning, streaks of paint in the water fountains were evidence of the sen- iors’ late-night dance decorating. Un- derclassmen picture-taking interrupt- ed classes and wore down teachers’ nerves. Pep Squad members franti cally tried to find enough convertibles for the parade. Football players prac- ticed diligently for the important game. And, the traditional dress-up days helped boost school spirit and morale. Monday, Kiddies’ Day, brought out diapers, bottles, and dolls. Con Burch received the prize, a ticket to the Homecoming game. Tuesday was Leg and Hat Day. Stu- dents pulled their favorite hats out of their closets and decorated their legs with crazy socks, bows, ribbons, and other odds and ends. The winner was Susie Herrick. Punk Rock and Clash Day was Wednesday. This was the day for Kiss, Rushing for a short gain, Bowman Ware crashes through the Lord Botetourt line. Blondie and anything that clashed. Sue Fallon and Tony Randolph were the wacky winners. Wednesday night the Pep Squad sponsored a bonfire and pep rally. This was followed by the Pep Squad’s Homecoming Movie, Night Watch, starring Elizabeth Taylor. Thursday, the traditional 50’s Day, saw the appearance of Fonzie and other greasers, along with bobby socks, ponytails, poodle skirts, and scarves. The judges selected Jamie Mays as the winner. School spirit reached a peak on Fri- day, Red and White Day, and students clad in the LHS colors filled the halls. Laura Smith and Timmy McCormick were the winners. AFS members boost- ed spirit by delivering carnations first period. A new student from Lynchburg, eighth grader Sarah Sessoms, ob- served that Homecoming Week “showed good school spirit.”’ Around 6:00 P.M. a noisy, excited crowd congregated at the firehouse for the annual parade. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and rain began to fall almost as soon as the parade start- ed. In spite of the downpour, the band continued to play, and students marched behind their floats, cheering enthusiastically. The rain stopped, however, by 8:00, and the game began. But a muddy field hampered the Hurricane team, and Lord Botetourt won 12-6. At halftime the results of the float competition were announced. The ju- niors won third place, the 8th grade received the $15 second prize, and the sophomores won the $25 first prize. The Homecoming Queen, Lisa Bane, the Maid of Honor, Donnie Delaney, and the Queen’s Court were present- ed at halftime. The representatives were seniors Mary Gearing and Sara Peebles, juniors Carrie Fallon and Cheryl Painter, sophomores Jamie Mays and Tammy Merchant, freshmen Amy Carter and Judy Lowery, and eighth grader Elizabeth Edgar. “|! was really surprised,’’ reported Amy. ‘| was really scared | woul d trip and fall on my face.” Lisa described her experience this way: “They didn’t tell us who won. If was a complete surprise. | didn’t know at all. It was real- ly an honor to be chosen.” homecoming 11 Dungeons and dragons Fire-breathing dragons, armor clad knights, and courtly lords and ladies greeted LHS students and alumni who attended the Homecoming Dance. Choosing the theme “Knights in White Satin,” the seniors transformed the gym into a medieval castle, complete with an ivy-covered wall,a banqueting hall, swords and daggers, and even a king’s throne for the picture backdrop. Jeff Ax and Kevin Irvine presented the Homecoming Court, escorted by senior football players, and the Home- coming Queen, escorted by co-cap- tains Lee Glenn and Mark Rogers. Disc jockey Leonard Stewart dedicated “Knights in White Satin,“” a popular song, to the Homecoming representa- tives. Senior Class president Mary Shaffer felt that attendance at the dance ex- ceeded expectations. “I’m glad that the last dance we'll ever sponsor was so successful. It was really a busy time of year but the seniors worked hard to make it turn out well.”’ “The Homecoming Dance is special because you get to walk out in front of everyone,’ said sophomore represen- tative Jamie Mays. Sophomore Ann Winfree remarked, ‘The decorations were really good. The photographer was good, too.”’ On the other hand, when asked to comment, junior Cathy Colonna said, “The dance was blurry.” Junior Penny Paul twirls to the beat of Leonard Stewart at “Knights In White Satin.’’ 12 homecoming Lisa Bane, 1980 Homecoming Queen, is es- corted through the arch by football co-cap- tains Mark Rogers and Lee Glenn.

For the first time in the twelve-year history of the school debates, three candi- dates were represented, instead of the usual two. During an assembly for the entire student body, Toye Entsminger, Jeannie Fitch, and Shar- on Painter spoke for independent John Anderson; Liza Davis, Tommy Imeson, and Cynthia Settle de- bated for Democrat Jimmy Carter; and Pam Grose, Bob Herrick, and Davidson Scott argued for Republi- can Ronald Reagan. Alex Hughes moderated the debate and Patrick Berry served as timekeeper. One of the Reagan debaters, Bob Herrick, stated, “| enjoyed the range and thoroughness of the questioning and the responsiveness of the audience.” Liza Davis, who argued for President Carter said, “| learned a lot about the candidates. It was interesting tearing apart the Reagan debaters!”’ Seniors registered voters for a week before the election. Only those students who had registered were eligible to cast their ballots the day after the debate. A high per- centage (57%) of the student body, voted in the election. Of the 415 ballots cast, 8 were for Anderson, 170 for Reagan, and 232 for Carter. For the first time in the history of LHS mock elections, the student body did not accurately predict the na- tional outcome, as Reagan won a sweeping victory on National Elec- tion Day. Carter debaters Cynthia Settle, Liza Davis, and Tommy Imeson laugh at a comment from the Rea- gan team. Anderson debater Sharon Painter voices her opin- ion to the audience as Jeannie Fitch and Toye Ents- minger listen attentively. ttt PETIT TTT LT 1 | Moderator Alex Hughes announces the rules of the notes. lunch to register for the mock presidential election. debate while timekeeper Patrick Berry makes some Sean Knick and Bart Baisley pause on their way to debate elections 15 Junior Todd McCullough flips through a year book as he looks over his education choices on College Day. yh oe j 2 s ; i j ; fe. ii 5 eh | - ms Biss it S 3! ; a Setanta t y _7 aa Senior Angie Smith starts painting yet another of the endless Homecoming Dance murals. 16 fall Val Henderson, Kathy Thompson, and Ju, lie White look through Air Force literature supplied by the recruiter on College Day, Powderputf and PSAT’S Although the summer heat clung to Lexington through much of the first month of school, students man- aged to leave vacation behind them and plunge themselves into their studies and extracurricular ac- tivities. Many clubs and organiza- tions immediately initiated projects and activities at the dawn of a dec- ade. Throughout the fall, the cheer- leaders and the band supported the teams at both pep rallies and at games. The Pep Squad planned dress-up days, a movie, and a pa- rade during Homecoming Week, followed by the senior-sponsored Homecoming Dance, “Knights in White Satin.’” Soc Hops, sponsored by the SCA and cheerleaders helped fill up empty hours on cold fall evenings. The big question in early fall was the future of the parking lot. After weeks of haggling between the city and the county, the urgings of SCA President Alison Wilhelm and Rock- bridge County Supervisor Nanalou Sauder helped convince the gov- ering bodies to repair the pothole- filled lot. ““Chris John’s father, who is on the school board, said it would be a good idea for me to go to the Supervisor's meeting,”’ said Alison. Although the presence of city crews temporarily inconvenienced faculty and students alike, the new parking lot was completed before winter weather set in. Even before the 1980 Crystals ar- rived, the yearbook staff began getting ready for the new year. Dur- ing an assembly to kick off the mag- azine drive, staff members present- ed a skit, “Who Shot J.R.?’ and Sen- ior Patrick Berry urged the student body to support the yearbook. In spite of the staff’s efforts, the drive raised only $7,796, short of the $10,000 goal. During a second as- sembly which focused on sale of the yearbooks themselves, the staff presented a slide show, ‘The Latest Greatest Picture Show,” and Coach “Howdy ’ Mack urged students to buy a Crystal. In spite of the in- creased price to $9, staff members felt the sales drive was successful. “We contracted for 600 books, but we never thought we would get that many,’’ said business editor Liza Davis. ‘We were amazed!”’ Juniors and seniors began to plan for the future as they spoke to ad- missions representatives from over sixty colleges, both in- and out-of- state, on College Day. Also in prep- aration for college, upperclassmen took PSAT’s, SAT’s, and Achieve- ments. Class rings arrived to the ex- citement of juniors, as seniors or- dered graduation announcements, caps and gowns in anticipation of commencement. As presidential candidates wound up months of whirlwind campaign- ing, seniors staged mock presiden- tial debates. Senior government students also registered voters and conducted elections. For the first time, LHS hosted the district forensics meet. The team captured the Blue Ridge District tro- phy, with seven of the nine mem- bers receiving first or second place. The approach of Thanksgiving meant the annual junior-senior Pow- derpuff match. After a week of cold, windy practices, the class of ‘81 won 6-0. In addition to participation in many other activities, students also distinguished themselves in music and drama. Under the direction of newcomer Charles Torian, the cho- rus gave an autumn concert, which sophomore Jennifer Wise said “went very well.’’ Anthony Wallace and choir president Laura Woods rose to distinction when they were chosen for the Senior Honors Choir, which sang at the Virginia Music Education Association Convention in Richmond. “It was great; it was just super!’’ Laura said enthusiasti- cally. “Anthony and | had so much fun. It was a really good exper- ience.”’ The Drama Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Alex Bourdrez, pro- duced a two-act play, Mrs. McThing. Involving a cast and crew of about thirty, the performance ran for three nights and starred Paul Kir- gis, Andrea LaRue, Tal McThenia, John Merchant, and Liza Woods. Freshman Starlene Hall, who was participating in a play for the first time, remarked, “It was a real trip; it was just the closeness of the cast.” As fall came to a close and au- tumn activities dwindled, students took one last look at the events of the last few months and then plunged into new projects for the winter. The approaching New Year promised even more opportunities for the LHS community at the dawn of a decade. A tight fit?

Being anew student, it was a good activity to get involved in.” That was what Penny Paul had to say about her par- ticipation in the Drama Club. Under the new direction of Mr. Alex Bourdrez and officers Alex Hughes, Patrick Berry, and Paige McThenia, the Drama Club encountered many new experiences when it produced four shows, beginning in the fall with a two-act play, “Mrs. McThing’’. The plot involved a wealthy woman whose son was bewitched by the mysterious Mrs. McThing. Playing the mother and son were Liza Woods and Tal McThenia, who had never been on the LHS stage before. Other mem- bers of the cast included veterans Christa Carter, Gary Flint, Andrea LaRue, Pepper Lawson, Holly Lowsley, Paige McThenia, and Jennifer Wise; and rookies Kelly Berry, Starlene Halll, Julie and Paul Kirgis, John Merchant, Penny Paul, and Sid Ray. The second drama project was the March production of three one-acts, ‘Who Am | This Time?’’, ““Wings’’, and “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean”. ““Who Am | This Time?’’ was about an actor and actress who fall in love while starring together in a play. Trey Lowsley was the narrator and Rob Brittigan and Sid ee i y ¥ ¥ teh eee i) ig... Ray played the couple; it was Trey’s first high schoo! dramatic experience. Margaret Furgerson, Paige McThenia, Penny Paul, and Mattie Robinson also were in the cast, as well as Amanda Badgett and Kathy Wilson who were making their stage debut. Mattie commented, “| had a really good time with the cast as well as doing the show.’ “Wings” was described by Mr. Bourdrez as “an ensemble play, meaning that all of the actors play different roles at different times. The theme focuses on the conflict be- tween the dreams of youth and the responsibilities of real life;’’ the play consisted of a “‘series of vignettes.” The cast was made up of veterans Christa Carter, Pepper Lawson, Mike McNeese, Tal McThenia, and John Merchant; and rookies Amanda Bad- gett, Lynne Draper, Lisa Fennell, Rob- bie Randolph, Sam Settle, and Andy Shaffer. “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean’’ was the story of a hardened old sailor and the dying woman who gave his life meaning. Patrick Berry took the part of the old Mr. Flannery, and Andrea LaRue was the dying lady. Anne Coulling, Maria Hunsicker, Trey Lows- ley, Jonn Merchant, Sid Ray, Anthony Wallace, and Jennifer Wise made up eetee « the rest of the cast. “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean” traveled to district competition, where it re- ceived a rating of ‘distinguished par- ticipant’’ and advanced to regionals. Following a performance after re- gionals, Holly Lowsley announced to the cast and audience that the play had been named a regional “‘distin- guished participant’’ and had quali- fied for the state festival. ‘It was a surprise when they announced it on the stage,’’ remarked Patrick Berry; “it was a wonderful surprise.’’ At re- gionals, members of the cast met stu- dents from Brookville High School in Lynchburg, who later came to Lex- ington to perform their play. ‘Mr. Flannery’s Ocean” was also present- ed to the student body in an assem- bly. At the end of the year, the Drama Club had a picnic and initiated new members into the Thespian Society. Those initiated were Amanda Bad- gett, Patrick Berry, Rob Brittigan, Gary Flint, Margaret Furgerson, Alex Hughes, Andrea LaRue, Pepper Law- son, Holly Lowsley, Paige and Tal McThenia, John Merchant, Sid Ray, Mattie Robinson, Anthony Wallace, Jennifer Wheeling, and Jennifer Wise.

The disc jockeys sponsored several contests, which were judged by the dee-jays and student applause. Soph- omores Chris Greene and Jamie Mays won the dance contest; seniors John Baker and Mary Shaffer won first prize in the twist contest, while the runners- up were sophomores Robert Glenn and Theresa Zybko. Junior Gary Black- well and senior Cindy Tolley won the best-dressed contest. Eighth-graders Tal McThenia and Cheryl Sherburne won the prize for being the youngest couple at the dance. Tal remarked that he was very sur- prised, because “| thought there were a lot of eighth-graders there.’’ Mary summed up the twist contest by say- ing, “It was wild!’’ The juniors felt the dance went very well, and vice-presi- dent Chris John said, “We thought it was pretty successful, one of the most successful Christmas dances we’‘ve been to.

Sports, mon- ey-making projects, and other events occupied students’ time throughout the winter months. During the winter, several changes took place in the athletic program. The new basketball coaches, Mr. Chick Crawford and Mr. Paul Leon- hard, led the varsity team through the best season in years. Mr. Dave Melton took over the jayvee team, while Mr. Ralph Moore directed the newly-formed eighth-grade squad. Ms. Barbara Stenzel organized the first-ever girls’ volleyball team; Mr. Barney Adams returned to coach in- door track. Ms. June Mays’ gymnas- tics squad won its first regional trophy. The approach of Christmas meant a variety of money-making activities. The juniors sponsored the Christmas dance with the theme ‘Candy-Cane Castle.’ For the first time the SCA en- tered a float in the Lexington Christ- mas Parade. Entitled “Christmas for Children in a Big Way,” the float was the product of many hours of work featuring a variety of toys and Sherry Farrow dressed as a clown. SCA president Alison Wilhelm commented, “We worked hard, but we didn’t win.” The sophomore and_ junior classes, HERO Club, Drama Club, Art Club, and the cheerleaders sold a va- riety of Christmas gifts to raise mon- ey. Other December events included the annual Latin banquet and the showing of the movie All the Presi- dent’s Men to the juniors and seniors. Meanwhile seniors rushed to finish ap- plications before college deadlines. The music program was also busy during the winter. The band and choir presented their annual Christmas concert to both the public and the student body. One of the few seniors in the band, Julie Hotinger, felt the concert had gone well, largely be- cause of Mr. Torian. “We all like hima lot,” she commented. Forty-seven students were selected to All -Coun- ty band. Ronnie Canfield, Beth Harris, Maria Hunsicker, Lisa Mahood, Anth- ony Wallace, and Rebecca Whitney were chosen for All-Regional band, and Lisa and Rebecca were nomin- ated for All-State. Selected for All- Regional chorus were Rob Brittigan, Christa Carter, Kim Daniels, Margaret Furgerson, Anthony Wallace, and Laura Woods. Anthony also made All- State Choir, and Laura was an alter- nate. The arrival of 1984 meant new ac- tivities and opportunities at the dawn of a decade. After Christmas vaca- tion, students returned to school for first-semester exams. The sopho- mores sponsored the Valentine’s Dance, “‘Lover’s Lane.’ The forensics team traveled to regional compefti- tion, where Liza Davis, Russell Hughes, and Penny Paul qualified for the state meet. As warm weather approached and winter activities ended, it was clear that spring was just around the corner. Students began to look for- ward to Prom, graduation, and the other activities of the new season. Shivering in the cold winter air, Kathy Ruley, Deborah Potter, and Jo Ann Tucker wait for the bell to call them back to class after a fire drill, Filling up boxes with food and toys, Robert Glenn, alumna Mary Lou Hundley, and Susan Rip- ley help prepare Christmas baskets.

Halfway through the dance, the gymnastics team returned from the district meet. The girls burst into the gym and shouted that they had won the district title. “This calls for a cele- bration!’’ announced the deejay, and he dedicated Kool and the Gang’s song “Celebration’”” to the victorious team. Sophomore vice-president Jennifer Batty commented, “We were really we did not really draw the crowd we were counting on. | think everyone who came had a good time, though.” Sophomore Pepper Lawson, on the other hand, remarked, “There were a whole lot of people. | wasn’t expect- ing that many, really.’ Eighth-grader Sarah Sessoms said, “The stars kept falling, but it was stilla good dance.”’ Senior Skippy Williams said simply, “'! enjoyed having my picture taken.”’ Performing one of the duties of a sophomore, Tami Moore carefully paints a mural for the Val- entine’s Dance.

Students who had been sluggish during the cold winter enthusi- astically greeted a flurry of springtime events. The fine arts were a special area of activity. The Drama Club performed three one-act plays: “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean,” ““Wings,’’ and “Who Am | This Time?” “Mr. Flannery’s Ocean” ad- vanced to district, regional, and state competition. The band and choir pro- duced a variety show and dessert the- atre and, along with the reserve band and the Rockbridge choir, performed “The Spirit of America,’’ composed and arranged by Mr. Charles Torian. Kathy Wilson remarked, ‘That was one of the best things we've ever done at LHS in my time. We give full credit to Mr. T.; he did a great job. It was an enjoyable and educational exper- ience. The fact that he started the new tech crew was one of the better things in life this year.’’ Susan Phillips commented, “| think it went really well. | think people enjoyed it. I'm glad we did it.’’ Susi Herrick added, ‘! think it went well and most of all | think it showed what Mr. Torian could do.” During the concert, art students dis- played their works at an art show; Shannon Spencer won the _ best-in- show award. Both the band and the Art Club took weekend trips to Wash- ington, D.C. er. Most of the athletic teams pro- duced winning seasons. The baseball team finished with a record of 14-2, and the golf team won both the dis- trict and regional trophies. At the dis- trict meet at VMI, the boys’ and girls’ track teams took third place. The Lex- ington Lacrosse Club finished the sea- son with a record of 4-5. Seniors were involved in a variety of competitions. Julie Kirgis, Cindy Blan- kenship, Angie Smith, Glenn Skuft, Bry- an Balazs, and Jack Delany participat- ed in the Model United Nations de- bates at VMI. Bryan, Glenn, and Jack placed second, third, and fourth, re- spectively, in the Virginia Junior Acad- emy of Science competition. Liza Da- vis and Russell Hughes participated in the state forensics meet at UVA. Initiating various projects, different clubs filled the spring calendar with ac- tivities. Many hopeful and enthusiastic girls tried out for jayvee and varsity cheerleading. French, Latin, and Ger- man students gathered for a day of food and games at the annual Foreign Language Field Day. The National Hon- or Society sold M M's after school to raise money for senior scholarships, and both NHS and NJHS inducted new members. The AFS organized an ex- change with Chapel Hill High School in North Carolina. Campaign posters and buttons signaled SCA elections as stu- dents began to think of the coming year. Academic and athletic awards were presented at the awards assem- ca - ES me Si or eee, 4 ¥P « « - r ¥ 3 ee z ® pale | Eo Bad on Og Pee eT cee.

The annual senior trip to Washington, D.C. provided a release from the tension of researching term papers. Although the senior boys lost to the male teachers in basketball, the senior girls defeated the female facul- ty members in volleyball during the an- nual SCA-sponsored senior-faculty games, which were followed by the last soc-hop of the year. Juniors and seniors and their dates came decked out in tuxedos and long dresses for the junior-senior Prom, ‘A First Class Night in Monte Carlo.’” Upperclassmen led a demonstration to protest budget cuts; Mike Bowsher and Alex Hughes orga- nized the rally. The presentation of awards, skits, songs, and a slide show highlighted Senior Night, the evening before graduation. For the first time, graduation exercises were held at W L’s Warner Center. After graduation, students knew that the school year was over, and graduates realized that their high school days had ended forever. Whether they faced the future with fear or hope, their year of activities and memories better prepared stu- dents and graduates alike for the ex- periences they would encounter at the dawn of a decade.

For the first time, the SCA entered a float in the community Christmas pa- rade. With the theme of ‘‘Christmas for Children in a Big Way,’ decorations in- cluded a gingerbread house and large stuffed animals, and eighth-grader Sherry Farrow, dressed as a clown, jumping periodically out of a large jack-in-the-box. During the holiday season, the SCA also collected toys and food for the Christmas basket pro- gram. To raise money, the SCA sponsored the annual senior-faculty games. Al- though a faculty pep rally before the game helped the male teachers de- feat the male seniors in basketball, the senior girls easily beat the female fac- ulty in volleyball. Students remained after the game for the last sock-hop of the year, also sponsored by the SCA. In addition, the student association installed a wooden sign in front of the school. Constructed by the industrial arts classes, the sign reads ‘‘Welcome to LHS.’ The SCA also planned a spring carnival, but abandoned this project because of lack of interest. Campaign posters filled the halls in May for the annual SCA elections. Skipper Staton ran unopposed for Hon- or Committee chairman; with the help of campaign manager Charles Lauck, | Alexia Pantaze campaigned without an opponent for historian. David Fitch, with his campaign manager Pepper Lawson, ran unopposed for reporter. Fred Larsen, Denise Mull, and Liza Woods, aided by campaign managers Steve Glenn, Katherine Sessoms, and Patrick Berry, sought the office of sec- retary-treasurer; Denise was elected. Todd Mays, with campaign manager Mark Woody, defeated Nancy Wil- liams and campaign manager Neeltje Henneman for the office of vice-presi- dent. Todd McCullough and his cam- paign manager Chery! Painter lost to Chris John, whose campaign was man- aged by Patrick Donald. As a final project, the SCA gave two scholarships to graduating seniors Cin- dy Blankenship and Julie Hotinger. At the last assembly of the year, Alison Wilhelm presented the presidential gavel to Chris John. SCA _ historian Lynne Draper re- marked that she thought it was a good year because “'l think the school spirit was up more than in the past.’’ She added that the SCA tried to plan more projects and activities, such as the carnival, but they “‘just didn’t get off the ground.” Donna Wetmore, a member of the Honor Committee, felt the committee had a successful year, although “‘peo- ple didn’t use us that much.’’ Commit- tee chairman Liza Davis commented, “It was a fine year and we accom- plished a lot.” With fellow faculty members behind him, Mr. Lewis Straub is definitely “up front’ during the pep rally for the SCA student-faculty games.

Under the leadership of president Cheryl Painter, vice-president Chris Jonn, and secretary-treasurer Helen Peebles, the class of 1982 had raised plenty of money, and by January thoughts had turned toward the theme. Ideas spread throughout the class, and soon a theme had been agreed upon, making it the most closely-guarded secret around. Now the real work began. Walls had to be measured, paint had to be bought, and murals had to be painted. Especially instrumental in these jobs, said Cheryl Painter, were Denise Mull, Ann Fritchman, Kim Thomas, Jack Tucker, Steve Felts, and Craig Gupton. Through the beginning months of spring, these and other juniors spent long hours working on their creation. Time passed quickly, and before long it was the Friday before Prom. The juniors spent all day working on the dance along with sophomores Robert Glenn, Robert Rorrer, Greg Krammes, Amy Settle, Tami Moore, and Theresa Zybko, who were to serve refresh- ments at the dance. After working late Friday night, everything was finally completed, and all that remained to be seen were the surprised reactions of seniors and their dates. Twining ivy around the senior archway, Kim Daniels and her classmates prepare the gym for “A First Class Night in Monte Carlo.” 30 prom decorating Sprawled across the floor, Kim Thomas and Ann Fritchman carefully paint yet another mural.

Girls in their long dresses and boys in their tuxedos looked strangely out of place in the usually drab parking area. Guests at the door were greeted with programs announcing the theme of the dance, “A First Class Night in Monte Carlo,” featuring the band First Class. Soon the gym was full of juniors and seniors dancing around two huge red and white dice, under the eyes of dancing girls and gambling couples. Murals pic- turing huge playing cards and racing cars added to the atmosphere, along with the showgirl costumed sopho- mores serving refreshments. At about 10:30 seniors and their dates lined up in the hall for the Prom- enade. As junior officers Chery! Painter and Helen Peebles announced the names, the couples stepped through the ivy-covered archway. At midnight the lights came on, and the dreamed- about Prom had ended. “It was a very nice Prom,’’ remarked senior Mary Gearing. “| had fun,’ com- mented junior Dawn Sensabaugh. “| thought the decorations were good.” Senior Penny Price said enthusiastically, ‘| had a blast!” ee Beneath the eyes of dancing girls, Rob Brittigan and Penny Price dance to the music of ‘First Class.”’ As their names are announced, Alex Hughes and his date Laura Sweeny walk through the senior arch 32 prom ess a ee ees As their classmates wait behind, Stanley Lewis and his date Anne Coulling are presented to the audience during the senior Promenade.

Then the coaches presented awards to the athletes, and the entire group gave a standing ovation to Coach “Howdy” Mack, who was leav- ing to take a position at Harrisonburg High School. Lynne Jamison remarked, ‘| though it was really nice not to have it at the high school because it made it more formal. The food was good.

When Theresa Zybko finished playing the Alma Mat- er, the students sat down and cheered loudly. To begin the assembly, Mr. Glen Stark congratulated the student boay, saying that 1981 had been the best year since he had been at LHS. He then announced the names of students with perfect attendance, presenting a special award to senior Russell Hughes for five years of per- fect attendance. Teachers presented academic awards, including a special award for the choral accompanist Theresa Zybko. Mrs. Betty Collins paid tribute to yearbook editors Anne Coulling, Stanley Lewis, and Sara Rhodenizer. “| really didn’t think | deserved all of them,’’ remarked Anthony Wallace, who received several choral awards. “| was really surprised, frankly.” Jodi Yeakel, who won the Home Ec Award, commented, | had no idea | was going to get it.” Tal McThenia, named Best Rookie Actor by the Dra- ma Club, said, ‘| was sort of surprised because there were a lot of other people’’ who deserved the award.

Applauding Christian Teschendorf’s guitar performance at Moody Hall are several North Carolina AFS students, Ann Winfree, and Tony Randolph. AFS students from Lexington and Chapel Hill en- joy lunch together during the LHS visit to North Carolina. 38 exchange programs . og x , : ee ™ Although Lexington seemed to be a small isolated town where everyone knew everyone else, by the means of exchanges students had opportunities to meet new people from other states and even from other countries. Led by sponsors Mrs. Pat Randolph and Mrs. Barbara Winfrey, co-presi- dents Cristen Williams and Kristie Joyce, treasurer Rob Brittigan, and his- torian Steve Glenn, the American Field Service organized several exchanges. Christian Teschendorff from the Ger- man city of West Berlin had the oppor- tunity to live in Lexington with Linda DeVogt's family and with W L profes- sor Dr. Harry Pemberton. Christian took a normal course load and, in spite of language problems, managed fo sur- vive in all of his classes, although his “sister’’ Linda added that his English and government courses were espe- cially difficult at the beginning of the year. Some of his activities included running cross-country and playing gui- tar; in addition, he was a “very good artist,’’ according to Linda. After graduating with the rest of the seniors, : he toured parts of the country before returning to Germany. Another exchange student was Sally Clark from Bracknell, England, who lived with Kristie Joyce for three weeks. Kristie met Sally when she was visiting Mrs. Peggy Hays the year she taught in Bracknell. Although Sally did not take courses at LHS, she attended classes as Kristie’s guest. During the year nine students orga- nized a month-long summer trip to Bracknell. Because last year’s ex- change with the British school was so successful, Frank Freidman, Amanda Badgett, Amy Carter, Lori Canfield, Lynn Draper, Helen Peebles, Sharon Painter, Andrea LaRue, Alexia Pan- taze, and chaperone Mrs. Randolph decided to return the visit. The group planned to watch the wedding pro- cession of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, attend a session of Parliament, and sightsee. After several weeks of planning, AFS members organized a short-term ex- change trip with the club in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Staying with host fam- ilies, the visiting students from Chapel Hill High enjoyed five days of various activities. While their host sisters or brothers were attending class, the kids toured historic Lexington as well as traveling to Monticello in Charlottes- ville. Among other activities, a Ccov- ered dish supper at VMI’s Moody Hall was highlighted when Christian Tes- chendorff entertained everyone by playing his guitar. Many new friends were made and when the time for goodbyes came many teary eyes were seen. It wasn’t long, however, before LHS AFS mem- bers Linda DeVogft, Kristie Joyce, Steve Glenn, Ann Winfree, Christian Teschendorff, Tony Randolph, and Nancy Wiliams traveled down to Chapel Hill and spent a week there. The visit proved to be much fun as well as astonishing when the LHS students saw the huge high school of over 3000 people. “It was a very, very good trip,’ commented Linda DeVogf, ‘and everybody enjoyed themselves.” 'l think the exchange went really well,” added Ann Winfree.

Cheering for the juniors were Ronnie Canfield, Clark Waring, Todd McCul- lough, Andy Shaffer, and Brad Jarvis. On the senior side were Patrick Berry, Mike Bowsher, Pete Sisson, and Butch Williams. Senior captains Sara Peebles and Lisa Bane met with junior captains Meissy Ray and Jennifer McCown in the center of the field and the game was underway. Senior coaches Lee Glenn, Mark Rogers, Richard Dunlap, John Baker, and Brett Hamric sent a line-up led by quarterback Mary Gear- ing. Junior coaches Todd Mays, Jeff Ax, Jeff Smiley, and Malcolm Higgins hoped that quarterback Cathy Co- lonna would lead their team to victory. Most of the first half the teams were deadlocked, but in the waning mo- ments of the first half, Mary Gearing completed a touchdown pass to Taunya Dudley, and the seniors had a 6-0 lead. This lead proved to be suffi- cient as the second half passed score- less. Cited for outstanding play on the senior side were Mary Gearing, Mary Shaffer, Sara Peebles, and Taunya Dudley. On the junior side Denise Craney, Denise Mull, Meissy Ray, and Cindy Hall were commended for their fine efforts. As the game ended, Sara Beata happily said, ‘We whooped ml! Junior Penny Paul challenged, “When’ s the rematch?”’ Discussing strategy, seniors Cristen Williams and Neeltje Henneman listen intently to the game plan of coaches John Baker and Mark Rogers. ‘We’re number one!”’ Seniors Taunya Dudley, Neeltje Henneman, Mary Shaffer, Cynthia Settle, Kate Weatherman, and Anne Coulling cele- brate their 6-0 victory over the juniors at a party at Julia Pelliciaro’s. 40 fall Offensive linemen Cristen Williams, Mattie Robinson, Julia Pelliciaro, Liza Davis and Anne Coulling practice their blocking skills.

Seniors Loaded and on the Bus at 4:00 AM At four o'clock in the morning of April ee 2, doors opened and shut throughout .. Lexington as the largest percentage of seniors ever converged at the : school parking lot for the annual senior trip to Washington, D.C. While some : 4 students slept and others talked quiet- ,. ly, three busses drove the brigade on toward Washington. The first stop was the Federal Bureau : of Printing and Engraving. Although | some were too tired to appreciate the stacks and stacks of money, others ex- pressed amazement at the sight of so much currency. The next stop was the Holloway House Cafeteria for a long- awaited breakfast. Unfortunately, one bus got lost in downtown Washington traffic and arrived some thirty minutes later. After breakfast the seniors visited the Capitol Building where they ob- served Senator Moynihan of New York discuss potential mass transit cuts in the national budget. After having the traditional class picture taken with Re- presentative Caldwell Butler, the sen- iors walked over to the Supreme Court building where they had time for tours of the museum and courtroom. Next on the agenda was three hours on the Mall where seniors ate lunch, visited museums, or simply napped in the sun. ‘We had a great time,”’ com- mented Cabot Miller. After this chance to regroup, the seniors made a quick stop at the Jefferson Memorial where the blossoming cherry trees provided a good backdrop for the avid photogra- phers. The group then drove to Arling- ton National Cemetery for the chang- ing of the guard, always an impressive ceremony. The seniors ate dinner and shopped at Tyson's Corners before boarding the bus to return to Lexington. At 12:00 A.M., three busses pulled into the LHS parking lot full of happy but weary sen- iors. After the trip Taunya Dudley com- mented, “| had a good time. | learned a lot. Things were pretty interesting up there.’’ Senior sponsor Mrs. Peggy Hays remarked, “I've never been with a more cooperative or better behaved group.” Waiting to have their picture taken with Congressman Caldwell Butler, Christen Wil- liams and Charles Lauck relax on the lawn in front of the Capitol. senior trip 43 Raise taxes, not illiteracy! “Save our schooll’’ chanted the demonstrating students. One May morning, over half the student body gathered in the parking lot to pro- test the proposed cuts in the school budget. Seniors Mike Bowsher and Alex Hughes organized the rally. Explain- ing how the idea started, Alex said, ‘A bunch of seniors, shortly after all the things came out in the papers, were all talking about how bad it was.” Feeling it was important to “voice our opinion,” the students began passing around petitions and collecting the names of interested demonstrators. “‘Initially,’” remarked Alex, “we had almost 200 people sign the petition.’’ Support grew after Mr. Stark announced the dem- onstration during an assembly. The night before the rally, Mike Bowsher’s house was the scene of hectic preparation. The two orga- nizers and six other seniors, Cindy Blankenship, Anne Coulling, Lee Glenn, Angie Smith, Laura Sweeny, and Butch Williams, worked through the evening to make signs, write a statement, and contact the press. At 8:00 the following morning, about 400 students, led by Robert Glenn, marched in front of the school. News of the demonstration was covered by Channel 7, WREL, WLUR, K92, Wizard 96, the Roanoke Times, and the News-Gazette. Freshman Janet Trussell said of the protest, “| think it was good be- cause it might help to make pro- gress’’ towards the goal of an in- creased budget. Pickle Watts ad- ded, “'l think it was worthwhile be- cause we had to show the School Board we mean business.”’ Apparently the demonstration did not hurt, because the following week the Board of Supervisors re- stored over $200,000 to the school budget. “Save our Schooll”’ shout Val and Andrea Henderson, as Curt McCullough looks on.

First, various members of the facul- ty and community presented awards and scholarships. Cindy Troxell’s reac- tion to winning the Lexington Wom- en’s Club scholarship was, ‘| was sur- prised; | was happy.’’ Pete Sisson, who won the Wayne France Memori- al scholarship, Commented, “| was surprised because | didn’t know any- thing about it. It was something nice to end the year on. | can always use a few extra bucks.” The program was then turned over to entertainment emcee Alex Hughes. First on the agenda was Pat- rick Berry, who sang “Piano Man.”’ He was accompanied by Brett Hamric on the harmonica and Theresa Zybko on the piano. Penny Price, accompa- nying herself on the guitar, dedicated a song to her mother. Anthony Wal- lace and Laura Woods, accompa- nied by Theresa Zybko, sang ‘‘Cor- ners of the Sky,’ dedicated to Mr. Charles Torian and to their parents. 46 senior night The next skit, “Snow White and the Squatty Bodies,”’ featured seven girls — Cynthia Settle, Laura Woods, Lau- ra Sweeny, Julie Kirgis, Paige MctThenia, Sara Peebles, and Mattie Robinson — dancing with Patrick Ber- ry, who was dressed as Snow White. Although Laura Woods lost her sense of direction and almost fell off the stage, Anthony Wallace came to the rescue and caught her just in time. Then Christian Teschendorff played an original composition, “Midnight Kitchen Rag,’’ on his guitar. The setting of ‘“BONDage,”’ a skit written by Liza Davis, was The Bond- age School for Girls. With Stanley Lewis narrating, the skit starred Matt Kozak as Mr. Larry Bond. Supporting cast members were Angie Smith, Kate Weatherman, Neeltie Henne- man, and Alison Wilhelm. Then Mike Bowsher, Zippy Nicely, and Brett Hamric played several bluegrass numbers, while Pete Sisson displayed his talent by holding the microphone. Liza Davis and Stanley Lewis pre- sented the following teacher superla- tives to members of the faculty: Most Likely to Succeed, Mrs. Peggy Hays and Mr. Paul Leonhard; Best All Around, Mrs. Marian Minnix and Mr. Leonhard; Most Gullible, Mrs. Dot Newman and Mr. Denny Clark; Most School Spirited, Mrs. Pat Randolph and Mr. “Howdy” Mack; Most Talent- ed, Mrs. Pam Tinsley and Mr. Charles Torian; Cutest Smile, Mrs. Sally Simons and Mr. Stewart Fleming; Most Athle- tic, Ms. June Mays and Mr. Charlie Lauck; Wittiest, Ms. Liz Ramsey and Mr. Larry Bond; Most Argumentative, Mrs. Nanalou Sauder and Mr. Lauck; Friendliest, Ms. Sandy Aldridge and Mr. Lindy Bain; and Biggest Flirt, Ms. Carter Drake and Mr. Ralph Moore. On behalf of the senior class, Mary Shaffer presented a Mickey Mouse watch to class sponsor Mrs. Peggy Hays and a token of appreciation to Stanley Lewis. The senior slide show, prepared by Glenn Skutt, and a dance number by Penny Price and Angie Smith were the last presenta- tions of the evening. Although Angie had difficulty with her costume, she said enthusiastically, “| think it was great! | feel great and | think that we really made a show tonight.”’ Posing as Mr. Larry Bond, Matt Kozak listens carefully as the guard (Angie Smith) informs him of the student’s (Kate Weatherman) vio- lation. Decked out in shorts and ties, Laura Woods, Paige McThenia, Sara Peebles, Cristen Wil- liams, Cindy Blankenship, Cynthia Settle, and Angie Smith celebrate their last days as sen- iors with Ms. June Mays. 1984 Senior Night Awards Valedictorian Key - Mary Shaffer Salutatorian Key-Anne Coulling Class Officers’ Awards- Mary Shaffer, Charles Lauck, Angie Smith American Legion Medal- Stanley Lewis Gary Whitmore Medals- Sara Rhodenizer, Charles Lauck DAR Medal- Alison Wilhelm Faculty Awards- Laura Woods, Cabot Mill- er Vo-tech Certificates- Jonn Cooper, David Dudley, Aaron Long, Dennis and William Merchant, Robert Miller, Calvin and Jackie Walker, Steve Wiley, Kim and Darrell Sorrells, Clifford VanderVeer, Ronnie Williams, Gene Austin, and Chris Payne.

In such a way did the class of 1981 concentrate on the year of graduation. All year the seniors planned their graduation by or- dering caps and gowns, by voting on the design of announcements, and by deciding that the ceremony would be at W L’s Warner Center, instead of the traditional setting of Brewbaker Field. Finally, after the excitement and hectic activity of spring, after term pa- pers and exams had been graded and senior superlatives had been voted on, the long-awaited day arrived—June 5, 1981. As the band played “Pomp and Circumstance,”’ the seniors, dressed in their red and white caps and gowns, marched proudly into the W L gym. The Reverend Arthur Holmes, whose son Keith was graduating, gave the invocation and an address to the sen- iors. With the title of “Go On,” the speech urged the graduates to march forward and meet the challenges of life. After the choir sang “We Shall Walk Through The Valley of Peace,” saluta- torian Anne Coulling spoke about the “Benefits of Our Educational Exper- ience.’’ She stated that ‘‘the members of the class of 1981 have learned valu- able lessons not only about school, but about life in general; those lessons in- cluded the importance of coopera- tion, honesty, loyalty, and pride. Clos- ing by saying that “we have not been perfect and we have made mis- takes,’ she added, “looking now at the faces in front of me, | see a great group of seniors. In fact, | see a great group of graduates, adults who are ready to go out into the world and face whatever challenges may arise. We have grown a lot this year. We should be proud of our accomplish- ments, and we should always keep with us the benefits of our educational experience.” Mary Shaffer, class president and valedictorian, talked about the Benefits of Our Environment.”’ Talking about the things that make Lexington special, she asked, ‘“‘Where else but Lexington can you hit all the hangouts on a Saturday night in less than five minutes? Where else can you do something or say something that the whole town knows the next day?’’ She added, “Our community teaches us 48 graduation pride, consideration, self-respect, and respect for others... . lt teaches us to appreciate beauty . . . It teaches us to honor sincerity and honesty. It teaches us the values that we'll live by in the big world out there. Most of all, Lexington teaches us to believe in people... We should appreciate our town for what it gives us—a sense of right and wrong, and a faith in people that will last us a lifetime.’ Following the speeches, Mr. Larry Bond read the names of each senior as Mr. Glen Stark presented the diplomas. When all the seniors had received their diplomas and Mr. Stark had _ pro- nounced them graduates of Lexington High School, caps flew and a great cheer broke out from both the gradu- ates and their parents and friends, who gave a standing ovation to the class of 1981. After Rev. Holmes had offered the benediction, the graduates marched out of the gym. Armed with the knowl- edge, skills, and memories they had gained at LHS, they went out to face new experiences at the dawn of a decade. As senior Greg Drew receives his diploma from Principal Glen Stark, Cindy Blankenship anxiously awaits her turn. “Caps flat on your head” Mrs. Peggy Hays re- minds her seniors before the ceremony. Anxious seniors pace outside W L’s Warner Center in anticipation of the graduation cere- mony. After graduation, former senior Keith Holmes poses with his father, the Reverend Arthur Holmes, one of the commencement speakers. graduation 49 Mary Shaffer, class president and valedictori- a ee an, admonishes classmates not to forget Lexing- ton in her address, ‘Benefits of Our Environ- ment.”’ Directing the concert choir under the watchful eye of Mr. Charles Torian, is senior Laura Woods. 50 graduation Smiling graduates Greg Drew and Alex Hughes leave W L’s Warner Center as alumni.

Under the leadership of Coach “Howdy” Mack and senior co- captains Lee Glenn and Mark Rogers, the Hurricane finished the season sec- ond in the district. Starting the season with strong per- formances, the squad won its first two games against Natural Bridge and Rockbridge. After losing to Clifton Forge, the team came back the fol- lowing week to beat William Byrd. Al- though the Hurricane suffered losses to Lord Botetourt in the Homecoming game and to Alleghany, the team easily beat Staunton River, Covington and Wilson Memorial. The climax of the season came with the victory over ri- val Parry McCluer. The squad was ranked second in the district ard missed a wild card berth in regional play-offs by .05 of a point. A number of players were named to All-Star teams. Selected for both the All-District Team and All-Regional Team were Jeff Ax, Lee Glenn, Gar- field Lewis, Mark Rogers, and Bowman Ware; Garfield, Lee, and Mark also made the All-State squad.

Coach Mack was pleased with his_ team’s efforts, and especially with the performances of Jeff Ax, Patrick Berry, Lee Glenn, Garfield Lewis, and Mark Rogers. He felt the most important games were the last three. After the team lost to Alleghany, “we came back and won the last three games very convincingly. They came back and did a super job.” Seniors Cabot Miller and Robert Miller shared Coach Mack's feelings about the team’s success. Robert felt the best game was against Parry McCluer, because “everybody wanted to win that.’’ Cabot said the season was suc- cessful “because we turned our re- cord all the way around from 3-7 to 7- 3. Cabot was most pleased with the Covington match because “finally we beat some of those boys from across the mountain.” varsity football 55 56 sports J.V. hurricane blows up a storm Led by co-captains Frank Friedman and Jon Mamon, the J.V. football team finished their season with a re- cord of 7-1-1. The B-Varsity squad, consisting of the J.V. team and the sophomores who played varsity, pro- duced a season mark of 4-0. Coach Ralph Moore felt that Frank Friedman, Jon Mamon, and Roy Ware contributed the most to the team’s success. Roy led the team both in scor- ing and tackles, with twenty solo tack- les in the last game. Freshman Mark Farrish was pleased with the season “because we won more games than any other J.V. team has done.”’ Jon attributed the team’s success to “‘a very experienced line and backfield.” Frank commented, “We had a really good team and an excellent record. The coaching staff was really good and did a lot for the team. The coaches really stressed dedication and building ourselves up sO we could size up to other teams.” Frank stated that eighth-graders Chris Clark, Chris Peebles, Tim Stewart, and David Swish- er had added much to the squad’s efforts.

On the Piedmont course in Charlottesville, LHS finished eleventh of all AA schools in Virginia. The girls ran phenomenally well. Their duo-meet record was 3-41, but they really shone in the Invitationals at AL- COVA in Alleghany County, the girls were runners-up behind Salem High School. At the Little Giant Classic, they were third. Going into the Blue Ridge District meet, the team’s record stood a respectable 10-13 and despite a shortened District course, the girls fin- ished second. They qualified a team for Region Ill competition, but it was not to be. Two girls fell sick and only three girls could run the Laurel Park course, but they won medals and ad- vanced to State where they ran very well. There were two high points in the J.V. season, the Little Giant Classic and the District Meet. Junior Matt Elmes and senior Davidson Scott both won medals in Waynesboro to lead the Big Reds’ second seven to a runners-up position. In the first ever District J.V. race, senior Tammy Imeson clocked a stunning 18:05 to win, followed by Elmes in third.

Ending their season with a best-ever record of 14-6, the girls’ basketball team dribbled their way to a third- place finish in the district. Led by senior captain Mary Gearing and co-cap- tains Ginny Carter and Taunya Dudley, the girls compiled “the best record ever by a girls’ team here,’’ according to Coach Barbara Stenzel. The winning season began with a bang as the team won the first annual County Tip-Off Tournament, beating Parry McCluer and Natural Bridge. Freshman Tia Poindexter and junior Ann Fritchman were named to the All-Tour- nament team. In the first game of the district tour- nament, the Hurricane won over Staunton River 39-29. They lost to Cov- ington by two points in overtime in the semi-finals. Selected for the All-Tourna- ment team were freshman Tia Poin- dexter and junior Cindy Hall. Tia and senior Mary Gearing were also chosen for the All-District team. High scorer and rebounder for the entire season was Tia Poindexter, with Mary Gearing second. Tia also led in blocked shots and field goal percent- age. Senior Ginny Carter led the team in assists and steals, and senior Taunya Dudley was the top free thrower. Coach Stenzel was proud of her team’s efforts. ‘We wanted to go on to regionals,”’ she said, ‘‘but we lost to Covington in overtime.” Under Coach June Mays and cap- tain Chris Fritchman, the J.V. team worked hard but did not win any games. The team and their coach re- fused to become discouraged, how- ever, because as Coach Mays said, the season “was a learning exper- ience.” New at LHS this year was an eighth- grade girls’ basketball team. Coached by Mrs. Barbara Winfrey, the girls played several games before finishing the remainder of the season with the J.V. team. “It was a new th ing;” said Coach Winfrey, “We played several games and we had a good season.” girls’ varsity basketball 61 62 sports They Pin to Win Grappling with another wrestler, freshman Frank Friedman demonstrates the skill which ad- vanced him to regionals.

With this record, th e squad placed second in the dis- trict, third in the region, and 24st in the state. Led by senior co-captains Todd Hall and Marvin Smith, the team lost only to William Byrd during regular season action. The wrestlers placed second in the W L Invitational; they were runners-up behind William Byrd in the district tournament. LHS produced four district champs: Pat Donald, Lee Glenn, Chris John, and Mark Rogers. All but one of the wrestlers who competed placed in the top four at the district meet and thus qualified for regionals. The Hurricane finished third in the region; Pat, Lee, Chris, Mark, and sophomore Fred Larsen went on to the state meet, where Pat placed fourth and Mark fifth. Overall, the team finished 24st in Vir- ginia. Four wrestlers - Pat, Chris, Lee, and Marvin won more than twenty matches, which Coach Mack said was “‘phenomenal.’’ The team members themselves were equally enthusiastic about the season. '| thought it was a great season,”’ re- marked sophomore Chad Joyce.

Although the squad did not win any matches, it was victorious in several individual games and im- proved dramatically during the sea- son. Coached by Ms. Barbara Stenzel, the team began practice in No- vember. Fifty girls originally ex- pressed interest in volleyball, but the number was eventually reduced to 25. The varsity squad elected Penny Paul and Sara Peebles co-captains, while the jayvee captain was Stephanie Shorter. Inexperience seemed to be the biggest problem the team faced, since only one player, Penny Paul, had ever competed on a volleyball team before. Yet the squad showed great progress. Co-captain Sara Peebles explained, ‘We start- ed off and we never won any games. Later the girls began to win individual contests. “We put up some good games.” Sara said. “There was defiite improvement. Every practice seemed aa little bit better.’’ Kim Jacque remarked, '| feel that it went very well.

Consisting of six up- perclassmen, the boys’ team did not win any meets; they came in second several times, however, and each member placed with high scores. The girls’ team, which had eight members, won one meet and had several sec- ond place finishes. Seniors John Adams, Peter Sisson, and Butch Williams, and juniors Skipper Staton, Clark Waring, and Mark Woody made up the boys’ team. The girls’ squad was composed of senior Nancy Steeves; juniors Beth Harris, Denise Mull, and Katherine Sessons; freshman Emily Scott; and the only J.V. runner, eighth-grader Cheryl Staton. “Since we didn’t have that large of a team,” remarked Skipper, ‘we couldn't be a very competitive team. Our individuals always placed well.”’ Katherine, a transfer student from E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, said, “I'm used to a big team, but a small team is a lot of fun. We had a lot of meets and it was good competition.” Denise was also enthusiastic about the team’s size. “It was a small team and we were closer than a big team would have been.” Coach Byron Adams gives Mark Woody a pep talk as he gets ready for his event.

The first part of the season was rela- tively easy as the Hurricane scored wins over local rivals Natural Bridge, Parry McCluer, and Rockbridge. The Hurricane captured the Christmas tour- nament trophy by defeating Rock- bridge and Parry McCluer. Lenny Hall and Garfield Lewis were named to the all-tournament team. The tougher district teams proved to be more of a challenge. The squad lost six games in the second half of the season, but five of those losses were by four points or less. In the first two rounds of the district tournament, the Hurricane defeated Covington and Lord Botetourt. Although the squad lost to Alleghany in the finals, seniors John Hamric and Alan Mutisoaugh and junior Garfield Lewis were named to the all-fournament team. Alan also won the sportsmanship award. Lenny Hall and Alan Mutispaugh were named to the all-district squad; and Lenny was named to the all-regional team. “Quickness, balance and a lot of desire and hustle’’ were the team’s main assets, said Coach Leonhard. He said that Alan Mutisoaugh was the most consistent player, while seniors Lenny Hall and Greg Drew provided the most team leadership. Sophomore Ed Shaffer was pleased with the season “because we finished with a winning record. We had excel- lent coaches; they knew a lot about basketball.’ Alan Mutispaugh re- marked, “It’s the best season we've had since ‘74. | thought the coaches were the main part of the season this year and that’s why we were so suc- cessful, because they pushed us so hard.’’ Garfield Lewis said, “The fans supported us a lot more than last year.

Winning Isn't Everything Under first-year coach Mr. Dave Mel- ton, the jayvee boys’ basketball team finished its season with a record of 2- 44. Co-captains Chris Greene and Jon Mamon led the 13-member team throughout the season. With only five sophomores and as many as four eighth-graders playing, Coach Melton felt the disappointing record was largely because of inexpe- rience. “It was a very young team,” he commented, adding that the squad improved “‘a lot toward the end of the year.’’ He also said that the co-cap- tains were the most valuable players. ‘ Jon Mamon remarked, “It was a dis- appointing season, but as the season progressed we improved. At the end of the season, we gave some of the higher-ranked teams a good game.” Mark Farrish Commented, “It was a good season. We gained a lot of ex- perience, even though we didn’t win a lot of games.” For underclassmen who didn’t play on the jayvee team, the eighth-grade boys’ basketball team was created. Mr. Ralph Moore coached the 12- member squad to a record of 4-6. Mike Colbert, Robert Doss, and Jeff Riley were the tri-captains, as well as being Coach Moore’s most valuable players. Mike was high scorer and re- bounder; Robert was second-highest scorer, and Jeff was second-highest rebounder. Chris Mamon said he felt the eighth-grade team was important because “the eighth-graders who don’t play jayvee can come back and play eighth-grade.”’ JV Boys’ Basketball Parry McCluer Rockbridge Natural Bridge Natural Bridge Rockbridge Covington Alleghany Parry McCluer Staunton River William Byrd Lord Botetourt Covington Alleghany Staunton River William Byrd Lord Botetourt Record: 2-14 Varsity cheerleaders display their skills during a home basketball game.

Led by tri-captains Tommy Imeson, Chris John, and Matt Kozak, the team consisted of about 30 athletes, most of whom were LHS students. The club played the jayvee or varsity teams from Northcross, Christchurch, St. Anne’s-Belfield, Virginia Episcopal, Roanoke Catholic, Chesterfield La- crosse Club, and Midlothian. Since LLC was a club and not a Virginia High School League team, practices were held at Waddell and games at W L. The squad depend- ed on donations to buy equipment, and private cars transported players to away games. Although friends gave the club some support, Matt Kozak said, ‘‘Mostly it’s parental sup- port.”’ Most of the players were under- classmen, and Matt remarked that LLC was a “really young team.” Play- ing lacrosse for the first time were Patrick Donald, Kent Doane, Will Echols, Teddy Henneman, David Jones, Jonathan Larsen, Tom Rogers, Davidson Scott, Andy Shaffer, Sam Settle, Eric Wilkerson, and Peyton Winfree. Tommy Imeson was high scorer for the year.

Led by senior co-captains Mark Rog- ers and Wayne Nicely, the baseball team posted one of its finest seasons ever. While tying for first place in the Blue Ridge District during the regular season, the team lost the playoff game to Alleghany in extra innings. The team combined consistent pitching, strong defense, and _ bal- anced hitting to win 14 of its 16 regular season games. Jeff Smiley led the pitching corps with six wins (6-2, 1.87 E.R.A.), Gary Blackwell had 5 wins in- cluding a no hitter (5-0, 2 saves, 0.19 E.R.A.), and Wayne Nicely had 3 wins (3-0, 1 save, 3.62 E.R.A.).

Balanced hitting and aggressive base running (58 stolen bases) enabled the Scarlet Hurricane to score 134 runs while strong defensive allowed only 40 runs.

Gary Black- well was chosen the Most Valuable Player for his outstanding all-around performance. Coach Ed kihm cited the team’s excellent attitude and in- creased experience as major factors in their improved record. Explaining the team’s success, Jeff Ax said, “We hit better this year and had better pitching.’’ He added that Coach kihm “‘has been a good coach for the past three years.’’ Jeff Smiley summed up the season by saying, “It’s gone real well, as well as expected. We have a lot of experience.”’ John Hamric remarked, ‘We're together and we know that we’re good. We support each other.” Thirteen Is not always an unlucky number, as Gary Blackwell demonstrates with his batting skill. Gary was selected Most Valuable Player by 76 sports his teammates.

Directed by first-year coach Mr. Ralph Moore, the team was led by tri- captains John Baker, Ward Huffman, and Alan Mutispaugh. In addition to their regular-season action, the golfers placed fifth in both the Albe- marle Invitational and the Cavalier Shootout. Coach Moore felt that Ward Huff- man and Alan Mutispaugh were the most consistent and most valuable golfers. Alan was medalist in both the district and regional tournaments. Ward was fourth in the district and tenth in the region; Scott Goff tied for fifth in the district. Senior Ginny Carter also participat- ed on the team, becoming the first girl in the history of the team to letter. She admitted that being on the team was a challenge, but she added, “If any girl knows what she’s doing,” she can participate. Sophomore Scott Goff said that the season “went all right till we got — to state.’’ He was surprised at the team’s performance; “| didn’t think we'd win the region.” Junior Steve Felts added, ‘| thought it went real good.

His team finished the season with a record of 2-4, and four of his runners placed first in the district. Led by captain Pete Sisson, the team originally consisted of 27 ath- letes, but ‘a lot of them ran jayvee for experience,’’ said Coach Brown. Fif- teen remained on the varsity squad. At the district meet, which LHS host- ed at VMI, the team placed third. Lee Glenn in the discus, Pete Sisson in the 880, Skipper Staton in the 2-mile, and Ronnie Stevens in the pole vault were district champions. Lee Glenn in the shot, Skipper Staton in the mile, and Bowman Ware in the long jump fin- ished second. Seven members of the team—Lee Glenn, Chris Greene, Troy Roane, Pete Sisson, Skipper Staton, Ronnie Stevens, and Bowman Ware—advanced to re- gionals, and the squad placed ninth out of 22 teams. Lee was the regional champion in the discus. Lee, Pete, Skipper, and Bowman went on to state competition. Pete was sixth in the 880, and Lee finished seventh in the discus, with a throw that was two feet short of the sixth-place throw. The jayvee team also performed well during the season. Coach Brown remarked that the team consisted of “some pretty outstanding individuals,’’ including Mike Colbert who was district champ in both the 100 and the 220, and Mike Williams who placed well in field events. Coach Brown felt that Lee, Pete, Skipper, and Ronnie were the most outstanding members of the team. At the athletic banquet in May, Pete Sis- son received the Most Valuable Player Award. Eighth-grader Tal McThenia said the season “went pretty well. We started out with a lot of people but it sort of filtered out to the people who really wanted to do it.” Troy Roane com- mented, “It was a good season, but as a whole, the team could have done better.’’ He added, ‘Some individuals were outstanding.” Hurling himself over the bar, district champion Ronnie Stevens practices the high jump at VMI. boys’ outdoor track 81 82 sports Lady Red Sped Finishing with a record of 4-2, the girls’ track team had their best season ever. Coached by Ms. June Mays and led by co-captains Kate Weatherman and Cindy Blankenship, the girls took third in the district meet, held at VMI, and seventh in Region Ill. During the season, the team broke five school records and tied two. Kaye Long in the discus; Denise Mull in the 410-meter hurdles; Katherine Sessoms in the 100 and 220; and the mile relay team composed of Kelly Berry, Cindy Blankenship, Tia Poindexter, and Robyn Rorrer broke school records. In the long jump, Tia Poindexter tied the school record, as did the 440-yard relay team made up of Stephanie Baker, Cindy Blankenship, Val Henderson, and Kath- erine Sessoms. Ten girls including Tia Poindexter in the high jump, long jump, and 440; Kate Weatherman in the high jump; Kaye Long in the shot and discus; Den- ise Mull in the 140- meter hurdles; Kath- erine Sessoms in the 220, Lynne Ja- mison in the 880 and mile; Emily Scott in the mile and 2-mile; Robyn Rorrer in the 880; and Cindy Blankenship in the 440 advanced to regionals. Every event except the 880 and 440 relays were represented at the regional meet, and for the first time in team history, the mile relay team advanced to region- als. Tia Poindexter set a regional high jump record of 5'4”. Qualifying for state competition were Tia Poindexter and Kate Weath- erman in the high jump, Emily Scott in the 2-mile, Katherine Sessoms in the 220, and Kaye Long in the discus. Al- though none of the girls placed in the meet, “they all made an excellent showing,”’ said Coach Mays. Poin- dexter again jumped 5’4” at the state level. At the athletic banquet, Coach Mays presented the Most Valuable Player trophy to Tia Poindexter and the Most Inspirational Player award to Kate Weatherman. In addition to Tia, key scorers throughout the season were Katherine Sessoms, Kaye Long, and Denise Mull. One member remarked, “We had a really good season individually as well as a team. We were a close team which helped us a lot.” Her face reflecting intense concentration, Kaye Long releases the discus in the style which sent her to state competition.

Why? To swim, of course. Early-morning work outs became a new part of the Lex- ington swimming program, and Rob Brittigan, Neeltje Henneman, Susie Her- rick, Tabb Osborne, Meissy Ray, Mike Semon, and Liza Woods spent many early hours in the pool. Other LHS stu- dents who swam with the Lexington- Staunton YMCA team were Margaret Bolen, Kent Doane, Sue Fallon, Chris Fritchman, Susan Imeson, and Tom Rogers. From September through March, these swimmers practiced dili- gently every evening. Although the team only won one meet, individual achievements were impressive. At the Virginia state YMCA meet, Neeltje Henneman placed third in the 100 yard breast stroke, and Rob Brittigan was fifth in the 100-yard but- terfly. Meissy Ray took fifth in the 100- yard backstroke and sixth in the 50- yard freestyle, while Tabb Osborne captured fifth in the 50-yard freestyle a and sixth in the 200-yard individual Hestne” medley.

Art students displayed their works at two shows, one in December and the other in May. The shows were held in conjunction with the band and choir concerts. Best-in-show awards went to Pam Grose and Shannon Spencer. Art students also submitted paintings and drawings of flowers and plants to the Mountain View Greenhouse Art Show. Visiting artists enriched the art cur- riculum. ‘Joan Hinerman demonstrat- ed the technique of watercolor and crayon resist,’’ explained Mrs. Tinsley. Michael Kopald showed students how to design Ukranian eggs; Judie March displayed porcelain pottery. Students also visited the DuPont Art Gallery at W L, where they saw Professor |- Hsiung Ju demonstrate brush painting techniques, and viewed a display of works by Francisco Goya. To raise money, the Art Club sold about 500 calendars, featuring thir- teen original pen-and-ink drawings of scenes in Lexington and Rockbridge County. A bake sale helped procure more funds for the three-day trip to Washington, D.C. in April. Students vis- ited museums, saw a play at Ford’s Theatre, and shopped in Washington stores. The Art Club ended the year’s activities with a Goshen picnic. “The Art Club worked harder this year,’’ commented Vicki Marshall. Art Club president Stanley Lewis said, 'It was a good year because as we lose people they’re still replaced with art students and | think that there are a lot of people interested in art, a lot more so than in the past.” The golden altar at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. is one of the highlights of the art club trip. fine arts 89 And the band played on... “We've improved greatly. The whole spirit of the band has improved under Mr. Torian,’’ remarked Sid Ray. Under the leadership of new director Mr. Charles Torian, the band and choir were involved in a variety of activities. To prepare for the upcoming year, the band met at the Kenneys’ farm for the five-day band camp during the summer. Proudly wearing their new uni- forms, they marched at all home foot- ball games, one away game, and in the Homecoming and Christimas pa- rades. To raise money, the musicians sponsored a monthly newspaper pick- up. At festival, the band received a rat- ing of ONE for Grade 5 music, making it the only band in the area to get a ONE. The reserve band received a TWO rating. LHS hosted the solo en- semble festival, and some band mem- bers were chosen to attend a clinic at the Shenandoah Music Conservatory. Forty-seven members of the band were chosen for All-County Band. Ron- nie Canfield, Amy Carter, Beth Harris, Maria Hunsicker, Lisa Mahood, Anthony Wallace, and Rebecca Whitney made All-Regional Band; and Lisa and Re- becca were eligible to audition for All- State Band. Choir members also attained distinc- tion. Rob Brittigan, Crista Carter, Kim Daniels, Margaret Furgerson, Anthony Wallace, and Laura Woods were cho- sen for All-Regional Chorus. Anthony and Laura were selected for Virginia Honors Choir, and Anthony made All- State Chorus. Both the band and choir played in the Christmas and festival concerts. The choir sponsored an autumn con- cert, in addition to singing for the Lion’s Club and church services. The jazz band, the newly-formed pops choir, and 1980 alumna Nancy Lowery, along with the choir itself, put together a spring variety show and dessert the- ater. The largest musical project was the production of ‘The Spirit of Amer- ica,” which was composed and ar- ranged by Mr. Torian. The LHS and Rockbridge choirs and the reserve and concert bands participated in the May concert. To rest up from their hard work, the band traveled to Washington fo listen to the navy band. On the way home, one of the buses broke down. Ronnie Canfield said, ‘‘The tire tore off. The metal was cracking.’’ After a while an- other bus came to rescue the musi- cians. Ronnie said the incident did not ruin the trip; “it was fun,’ he comment- ed. The band and choir performed for the last time at graduation. Leading the band through its many activities was the Band Council, com- posed of president Anthony Wallace, secretary Lynne Jamison, treasurer Lisa Mahood, historian Rob Brittigan, librar- ian Donna Wetmore, flag corps cap- tain Paula McKemy, rifle squad captain Vicki Marshall, and drum major Steve Felts and Robyn Rorrer. The Choir Council consisted of president Laura Woods, vice-president Melodie Cof- fey, secretary-treasurer Kate Weath- erman, Kim Daniels, Margaret Furger- son, John Hamric, Penny Price, Anthony Wallace, and Liza Woods. “We had an excellent year,’’ com- mented choir member Robert Glenn. “| had a great time with Mr. Torian.”’ ‘4 f ] b 3 $ z : : ' ) “Peace on This Earth,’ sing members of the pops choir, while the jazz band plays in the background. 90 academics Grinning with amusement, band member Linda Her eyes on her music, freshman Chris Knudson Concentrating to remember her routine, Jean- DeVogt carries a stack of collected newspapers practices her trumpet. nette Hotinger marches with her flag during a to the pick-up truck. halftime show.

Under the guidance of Coach Carter Drake, the team captured the district trophy; seven members qualified for the re- gional meet and three were eligible for state competition. At the district meet, which was held at LHS for the first time, seven of the nine team members placed first or second and qualified for regionals. First place went to Anne Coulling in girls’ original oratory; Liza Davis in girls’ ex- temporaneous speaking; Ernest Edgar in boys’ original oratory; and Pam Grose in girls’ poetry. Second-place finishers were Patrick Berry in boys’ prose; Russell Hughes in boys’ extem- poraneous speaking; and Penny Paul in girls’ prose. Missy Lamont in spelling and Andy Shaffer in boys’ poetry also contributed to the team effort, al- though they did not place. 92 academics Because Ernest Edgar moved away shortly after the district meet, only six members of the team went to regional competition. Liza Davis won first place, and Russell Hughes and Penny Paul came in second. Penny was unable to attend the state meet, but Liza and Russell both participated in the com- petition. Ms. Drake emphasized that regional and state competition was unusually stiff and the team was up against tough opponents. “It was a new ex- perience,’ remarked Patrick Berry, “pecause | had never done it before.”’ Pam Grose commented, “| was ex- tremely surprised” to be district cham- pion.

Topics covered in exploring technol- ogy classes were mechanical drawing, wood, metal, leather, and plaster of Paris. First level wood technology stu- dents made footstools, magazine racks, coffee tables, and gun racks. Projects of the second-year wood technology students included gun cabinets, cedar chests, dining room tables, coffee tables, cross bows, floor lamps, kitchen cabinets, and turning projects such as bowls and lamps. All students helped construct the solar project on the band building and the S.C.A. sign for the front of the school.

During second semester they sewed aprons, skirts, and sun- dresses. ‘‘As they rushed to finish pro- jects in a 50-minute class,’” remarked Mrs. Dunlap, “they often found them- selves halfway to their next class with aprons still tied neatly around their waists or pin cushions still on their wrists.’ Second-year students practiced canning and freezing and tackled ad- vanced clothing projects. They also served the faculty party food one afternoon, and according to Mrs. Dun- lap, “everyone in the class had a chance to carve the watermelon Wil- lie Wihelm and Laura Conklin made for the centerpiece.” Studying advanced clothing man- agement and housing, students en- rolled in the specialized areas class vis- ited construction sites and new homes. They looked at a restored rural cabin, the Stonewall Jackson house, and Heaveners’ Mobile Homes; they also shopped for draperies and carpets at the Home Decorating Center. Mrs. Ruth Ann Herring, a realtor, and Mrs. Nancy Plogger, a banker, spoke to Classes, as well as industrial arts stu- dents who taught classes about qual- ity furniture construction. After visiting Mick-or-Mack to learn about buying meat and groceries, the family living class prepared dinners for members of the faculty. Students ex- plored housing opportunities and vis- ited community shops related to homemaking. Guest speakers included Mr. Easley Moore, who talked about insurance; Mr. Frank Fitch, who spoke about marriage preparation and the wedding ceremony; and Dr. Doug Lar- sen, who lectured about genetics. ‘A new twist’ was added to the oc- cupational foods classes, according to teacher Mrs. Vickie Chambers. Natural Bridge and Rockbridge students joined LHS students in the occupational foods Classes as they “trained for food ser- vice jobs, catered many different events, and went on several field trips.’ Role-playing real-life restaurant situ- ations, practice at meeting the public, working on customer tickets, and Classroom instruction comprised the job training segment of the occupa- tional foods course. Providing food for groups ranging in size from 25 to 40, students catered the Blue Ridge Athle- tic Banquet, the spring Rockbridge Education Association Banquet, the Central School Board Association Ban- quet, and their own Christmas HERO Banquet. The classes also sold deco- rated Christmas and Valentine’s Day cookies and Easter eggs. To learn more about occupational foods, students visited such local busin- esses as Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Mick-or-Mack. “The highlight of the year,’ said Mrs. Chambers, “was the Northern Region- al Culinary Arts Show,’’ where senior Laurie Bryant won first place, best in division, and best in show in the cate- gory of decorated cakes.

Eighth-graders in Mrs. Betty Collins’ classes practiced writing poetry with the help of Dr. Mary Balazs, and in May they edited and printed a book of their poems. While studying The Diary of Anne Frank they wrote papers tracing the history of Jewish persecution and concentration camps. Students in Ms. Carter Drake’s ad- vanced composition class exchanged preliminary issues of Reflections with Mrs. Wanda Leadbetter’s freshman English students. Mrs. Leadbetter espe- cially recognized the writings of Robbie Randolph, Amy Irvine, Liza Woods, Pat- chin Hartless, Hugh Jarrard, Mark Far- rish, Paul Loggins, Bo Leadbetter, Mi- chele Jenkins, Brenda Henderson, Sid Ray, and Starlene Halli. Advanced composition students edited and sold the final issue of Reflections in the spring and also voted for the best con- tributors to the magazine. At the 400 academics awards assembly, Ms Drake gave the following awards: first and second place art, Jennifer Wise and Wesley Floyd; first and second place prose, Anne Coulling and Mary Shaffer; first and second place poetry, Pam Grose and Cindy Blankenship. Several English classes studied the plays of Shakespeare, and freshmen English students, Mrs. Sally Simons’ sen- ior English class, and the advanced composition class saw Romeo and Ju- liet at the State Theatre. Mrs. Leadbet- ter’s classes created a bulletin board about Shakespeare and his works; the project featured Christie Paxton’s “fine drawing of Anne Hathaway's cot- tage.” Mrs. Leadbetter initiated a letter- writing exchange project with fresh- men English students in Nelson County, who sent autobiographies to Mrs. Leadbetter’s classes. “My students en- thusiastically read the autobiographies and in turn selected the person with whom they wished to exchange let- ters, remarked Mrs. Leadbetter. “Hopefully we have built enough inter- est to spur ‘over-the-summer’ corre- spondence.” After studying The Odyssey, some of Mrs. Leadbetter’s students created projects and displayed them in the li- brary and display case. Mrs. Leadbet- ter was especially pleased with the projects of Randy Benson, Starlene Hall, Mike Steele, Hugh Jarrard, Bart Baisley, Judy Lowery, Kelly Berry, Trey Lowsley, and Scott Williams. Mrs. Leadbetter’s guest speakers in- cluded Col. Willard Hays, who lectured about Sherlock Holmes; Mr. Bob Burns and Ms. Carter Drake, who talked about mythology; and Mr. James Draper and Mr. Craig Jones, who spoke about “growing up exper- iences,’”” according to Mrs. Leadbet- ter. “| felt it was a very good year as far as the department was concerned,” remarked department head Mrs. Dot Newman. “| thought we did what the usual English classes are concerned with, but also we did more speaking. We still had enrichment programs. It was a very good year.” Ninth-graders Mark Smith, Angie Mutispaugh, Charles Reynolds, Elvin Hostetter, and Winnie Sorrells pay rapt attention in Mr. Denny Clark’s Class.

No, in the halls of LHS, where foreign languages add an international fla- vor to the academic curriculum. French, German, and Latin classes studied grammar, vocabulary, litera- ture, and foreign culture. Ms. Mary Lou Williams taught one first-year French class, while Mr. Alex Bourdrez taught the rest of the French students and a second-year German class, the only German class offered. French and German stu- dents, along with Latin students, played games, ate foreign foods, and raced chariots at the annual For- eign Language Field Day. Because they had already cov- ered the basics of grammar and vo- cabulary, French Ill students were 402 academics able to participate in more enrich- ment programs. Practicing pronucia- tion skills once a week at the W L language lab, reading poetry and Le Petit Prince, and viewing television and slide shows about France were some of the activities of advanced French classes. Led by president Andrea LaRue, vice-president Amanda Badgeft, and secretary-treasurer Cristen Wil- liams, the Latin Club participated in various activities, such as watching slides of Ms. Carter Drake’s visit to Pompeii, organizing a bake sale at Kroger’s, and eating a Greek dinner at Granny's Restaurant. Before Christ- mas, Latin students donned togas for an evening of eating, singing, and performing skits at the annual Satur- nalian banquet. In February, the Disci- puli Laudandi, led by co-presidents Anne Coulling and Neeltie Henne- man, initiated Andrea LaRue, Polly Stevens, and Ann Winfree at a dinner at Ms. Drake’s. In the spring Latin students visited the National Gallery of Art “Search for Alexander’’ exhibit, designed and sold T-shirts which read “Latina Non Est Mortua’’ (Latin is not dead), stud- ied ancient Greek with Ms. Drake, and participated in the field day. Twenty- five students in all levels of Latin took the National Exam; 22 of them scored even with or better than the national average. Students also attended a certamen, which Andrea LaRue described as “kind of like a classroom quiz for Latin.” The club ended the year with a Goshen picnic. “| think the year’s activities went well,’ commented Andrea. “The field day went real well.’’ Discipuli Co- president Neeltje Henneman re- marked, “It was a lot of fun. | enjoyed participating.” A Roman preppie?

Guest speakers lectured on such to- pics as drug enforcement, city and county government, the Virginia Pe- troleum Council, legal questions, alco- holism, Judaism, family planning, for- eign cultures, and welfare abuse. Classes learned about 19th century social and cultural history at the Jack- son House, death and dying at the J.B. Lewis Funeral Home, foster care at the Rockbridge Area Presbyterian Home, marketing at the Morton’s Frozen Foods factory in Crozet, and foreign cultures at Mead Oriental Rugs. “Certainly a big event of the year,” said Mrs. Hays, “was the presidential debates held by government students for the entire school.” Toye Ents- minger, Jeannie Fitch, and Sharon Painter spoke on behalf of Jonn Ander- son; Liza Davis, Tommy Imeson, and Cynthia Settle debated for Jimmy 404 academics Carter; and Pam Grose, Bob Herrick, and Davidson Scott debated for Ron- ald Reagan. Government students registered voters and conducted mock elections; the student body elected Carter. Other activities helped vary the academic routine. ‘Simulation games such as Market Place used in econom- ics added variety to the classroom learning process,”’ remarked Mrs. Hays. Government students watched Broth. er Rat, starring Ronald Reagan, at VMI, and along with US history students saw All The President’s Men. Bryan Balazs, Cindy Blankenship, Jack Delany, Julie Kirgis, Glenn Skutt, and Angie Smith participated in the Model United Na- tions debates at VMI. The big social studies project for most juniors and seniors was spring re- search projects. “American history stu- dents and senior government students pride themselves on their expertise of a particular topic once the research is over,’ said Mrs. Hays. Visiting the Aloha Wok as part of their study on culture, Mrs. Peggy Hays and her sociolo- gy students Bonnie Blouin, Kristie Joyce, Sara Rhodenizer and Tami Carter enjoy an Orien- tal meal.

Typing classes, stenography courses, the Cooperative Office Edu- cation program, and distributive edu- cation were all part of the business de- partment. After CETA employees Mrs. Shirley Clark and Ms. Diane Goolsby left, the business department “assumed the typing and duplicating responsibilities for the school office,’’ according to business teacher Mrs. Nellie Reynolds. Students typed Reflections; Kaleido- scope, the eighth-grade literary publi- cation; and various items for the facul- ty and for the athletic department. The department prepared a slide show picturing students and graduates at work at school and in the communi- ty. Classes and civic groups viewed the presentation. An addition to the department was a computer terminal donated by Holi- day Inn. “The terminal will be used,” commented Mrs. Reynolds, “as a learning station next year as part of a data-processing study.”’ During the year, business students visited the First National Exchange Bank, the VMI Computer Center, the ACME Filing Company in Crozet, the W L Law Sc hool word processing cen- ter, and the Sigma Nu National head- quarters computer systems. Participating in the COE program were fiffeen students who worked in offices in the community as a “cap- stone of their office training,’’ said Mrs. Reynolds. The students honored their supervisors and employers with a spring banquet. Under new sponsor Mr. Chick Craw- ford and president Todd Hall, the distri- butive education classes enjoyed “a fairly successful year,’’ according to Dreama Ayers. Projects of the DECA Club included management of the school store and sale of school spirit hands. A spring banquet at Holiday Inn wound up the year’s activities. business 107 From Basketball to Behind the Wheel Taught by Mr. Dave Melton, Mr. Mike Brown, Ms. June Mays, and Ms. Barbara Stenzel, P.E. students studied a variety of subjects. Eighth-graders learned about the body system, nutrition, bal- anced diets, drug education, and sports and sportsmanship. Freshmen studied first aid and CPR techniques, while sophomores learned driver edu- cation. In active P.E., all classes were busy with activities such as physical fitness tests, beginning and advanced wres- tling, volleyball, basketball, soccer, track and field, flag football, and gym- nastics. Every class was co-ed, except the boys learned wrestling and girls practiced gymnastics. “At one time,” commented Mr. Brown, “| thought co- ed wasn't going to work, but it was better than | thought, especially in the classroom.” “Students tried harder this year,’’ re- marked Mr. Brown, “Attitudes were pretty good. | thought it was a good year.” Who’s on first; What's on second; and Paul Walker's behind home plate during a P.E. softball game.

Eighth-grade science classes visited the VMI physics department, and Sci- ence 9 students traveled to the VMI planetarium, Natural Bridge, and the Natural Bridge caverns. Eighth-graders submitted 150 projects to the Parent- Student-Teacher Forum project night, while freshmen displayed 70 projects. Ninth-grade scientists prepared rock and mineral collections, and kept up with current events by reading Sei- ence World and watching the televi- sion series Cosmos. Eight students in Mr. Leonhard’s classes attended the March Science- Humanities Symposium at UVA and submitted papers to the symposium. Bryan Balazs, Jack Delaney, and Glenn Skutt entered chemistry projects in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science competition at Old Dominion Universi- ty. Bryan won second, Glenn took third, and Jack won honorable men- tion. Glenn said that he was “‘very sur- prised because we sent three people down there and took three of the five awards.’ Jack remarked, “| was sur- prised that we got second, third, and fourth.” Bryan commented, “| was very pleased at our showing.”’ While completing their biology drawings, Sean Henderson and Susi Herrick exchange a few jokes. 440 academics Chris Clark hurries to complete his assignment in science class while Frances Hostetter and Jai Irvine wait for the bell to ring.

Richard Dunlap finds that his Algebra Il test re- quires utmost concentration. Can You Hock the Golden Triangle? Projects, the ‘Golden Triangle”, and statewide contests highlighted the activities of the math department. For the first time in years, math stu- dents displayed projects on project night in February. Twenty-two mem- bers of Mrs. Marian Minnix’s ninth-grade geometry class created colorful de- signs of the “Golden Triangle.” “Many of the designs returned home as posters for wall decorations,’’ com- mented Mrs. Minnix. Freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors, primarily from Mrs. Jane Freeman's classes, plotted graphs to make pictures of animals, cartoons, and modes of transporta- tion. Participating in math competitions at Radford and James Madison Univer- sity were seniors Bryan Balazs, Jack De- laney, and Glenn Skutt. “The team did very well against teams from other high schools from all over the state,” remarked department chairman Mr. Charlie Lauck. “The Radford test, we really weren‘t prepared for the things that were on it. We were a little more ready for the JMU test, and we came in third,” commented Glenn. Eighth- grade algebra students entered a state-wide math contest; “all repre- sented their school well,’’ said Mrs. Min- nix. “1 got it right?”” Dawn Sensabaugh seems to be exclaiming to Mr. Lindy Bain while Thomas Moore, Demorah Alexander, and Beth Ewing chat. math 143 Honers Slu@enicu=s Gmina Archaeology, dance, drama, and philosophy were the topics of study for the senior honors group. The sev- en honors students—Bryan Balazs, Anne Coulling, Liza Davis, Jack De- laney, Neeltje Henneman, Mary Shaffer, and Glenn Skutt—spent six weeks on each unit and participated in various activities associated with the study topics. With Mr. Paul Leon- hard overseeing the program, Ms. Carter Drake, Mrs. Pat Randolph, Mr. Denny Clark, and Mr. Alex Bourdrez were in charge of individual units and activities. As part of the archaeology unit, the students attended lectures by W L professor Dr. Jonn McDaniel and 414 academics Vultures Z observed the university’s dig on North Mountain. The dance unit, headed by Mrs. Carol Kirgis, consisted of several meetings at the Halestone Dance Studio, where the students learned and practiced various kinds of dances. They also attended the bal- let “Cinderella” at the Roanoke Civic Center. Watching a mime exhibition, a demonstration of shadow puppetry, and the performance of A Tudor In: terlude at W L was part of the dra- ma unit, as well as a performance of the last act of The Importance of Being Earnest, which the group un- dertook under the direction of the- ater professor Al Gordon. Mr. Bour- drez lined up several area professors to instruct the group in philosophy; the lecture topics ranged from the life of Epicurus to “What is virtue?”’ The climax of the program was a weekend the students spent in Wash- ington, D.C., where they attended two plays and a modern dance per- formance, and visited the ‘Search for Alexander” exhibit, museums, and the National Cathedral. “It was very interesting,’” com- mented Jack Delany, ‘‘but | think we could have done a lot more.”’ Bryan Balazs, said simply, “It was very cultur- al.”’ Neeltje Henneman and Glenn Skutt seem to be amused at Mary Shaffer and Anne Coulling’s conversation while Bryan Balazs is oblivious to it all.

If you ain’t a senior ‘Led by president Mary Shaffer, vice-president Charles Lauck, and secretary-treasurer Angie Smith, the proud class of 1984 began its tur- bulent year with a Homecoming float featuring an enormous Skoal can and signs such as ‘Pinch ‘em Red!’ While some seniors secretly created the fifth- ranked float at Mike Bowsher’s house, others applied their time and talents to transform the gym into a castle for “Knights in White Satin,” the class’ Homecoming dance which Mary Shaffer described as “very successful.”’ The fall was a busy time in the senior year. Students took SAT’s and Achievements, and quick jaunts to prospective colleges on the three al- lowed pre-arranged absence days. The annual junior-sponsored Powder- Puff football game was played before Thanksgiving break. The senior girls, well-prepared by coaches Richard Dunlap, Lee Glenn, John Baker, and Mark Rogers beat the juniors 6-0. Sen- ior girls also sold football programs in the fall at Washington and Lee games to raise class money, and took cor- sage and boutonniere orders for The Flower Center before dances.

Field trips were popular; the sociology classes went on several, in- cluding visits to the Aloha Wok and the Rockbridge Area Presbyterian Home; economics classes visited Morton's for- zen food plant; and English and ad- vanced composition students went to view Romeo and Juliet at the State Theater. Government students staged a Carter-Reagan-Anderson debate in the fall, and also participated in the Model United Nations debates in early April. In the spring, seniors spent long hours with index cards and microfilm ma- chines. They anticipated the comple- tion of English and government term papers as much as they enjoyed the annual trip to Washington, D.C. April was also the month that colleges sent out acceptances (and rejections), and when the tough decision on where to go and what to do after graduation had to be faced. Spring also meant passing out lacrosse pro- grams at W L games, the senior - fac- ulty volleyball and basketball games, very serious cases of senioritis, and sun- ny-day lunch times spent on the hill dis- cussing the latest, raging senior news. Although the senior picnic was can- celled, the Prom was really something to get excited about. Decked out and dazzling, seniors thoroughly enjoyed the much-anticipated “A First Class Night in Monte Carlo” that the juniors created. After prom, the realization that their high school days were fast dwindling away set in for most seniors. They wholeheartedly led a protest of the proposed school budget cuts, with signs and chants such as ‘Go get ‘em, Nanalou!’’ Channel 7 News, WREL, K92, Wizard 96, and WLUR covered the 8 A.M. rally in the parking lot that seniors Mike Bowsher and Alex Hughes orga- nized involving the participation of over half of the student body. Faculty and students were equally impressed; senior Laura Sweeny “thought it was great.” Senior Night, a time for reminiscing with laughter and tears, featured sen- ior awards, skits, and musical acts. The following night members of the class of ‘81 met for the last time at the W L gym for the graduation ceremony. The graduates then left to seek new activi- ties and experiences at the dawn of a decade.

For two years Laura and classmate Anth- ony Wallace have been singing their way to many awards and distinctions. Laura as an alto and Anthony as a tenor were selected to All- Regional Chorus both their junior and senior years. Anthony was also chosen twice for All-State Chorus, and Laura was named an alternate her senior year. This was quite an achievement since only five singers and two alternates were chosed from each vocal section in each regional chorus. The chorists also made the statewide seniors’ Honor Choir, which Laura said was “‘very selec- tive.’ The two traveled to Rich- mond where the choir practiced and performed. They both par- ticipated in the Bland Contest where Anthony won the local, zone, and district competition and went on to compete on the state level. The seniors’ interest in singing did not, however, begin with high school. Anthony and Laura have been singing in their church choirs for nine years and have taken voice lessons from W L music professor Gordon Spice. Their high school instruction began with a year under Mr. Denny Clark. A big change came with the arrival of Mr. Charles Torian as band and choir director. ‘‘He’s done a great job this year,’’ Lau- ra commented, ‘‘my sightreading has improved since we've been doing more music.” Anthony adds, ‘He showed me what mu- sic really is. He’s been more than a teacher - he’s a friend, and he'll always have my respect.” Music is definitely included in their future plans. Anthony will at- tend VCU for a few years, then perhaps transfer to Westminster Choir College. He wants to major in band and choir and would like to teach high school chorus. Lau- ra will go to Longwood College where she will major in music; later she hopes to transfer to UVA or MCV. Although she plans to be a registered nurse, she will contin- ue to study music. Whatever their futures may hold, they have con- tributed much to the music pro- gram at LHS. seniors 123 424 people HERO aisles In addition to the many other changes which faced students at the dawn of a decade, a big change came in the home-ec department. Twenty-five students from all three county schools enrolled in the first county-wide Occupational Foods classes, composed of members of the HERO club. Mrs. Vickie Chambers teaches the two classes, which are “set up on the same schedule as the vocational school.’’ Students ‘‘take academics at their own school.”’ Juniors take the first- year class in the morning, and the sen- iors are in the second-year class in the afternoon. LHS juniors Cindy Smith and Thomasina Graves, and seniors Donna Armentrout, Melissa Donald, and Laurie Bryant are enrolled in the HERO (Home Economics Related Occupations) course. ; Mrs. Chambers has taught food ser- vice for five years, but she has never taught HERO classes alone. “It’s been a very different experience for me,” she remarked. The purpose of the pro- gram was “to train students to work in food service related fields. We'‘re geared toward institutional cooking.” To learn these cooking skills, students cater, bake and decorate cakes, pre- pare banquets, and participate in food service competitions, in addition to classroom instruction. Each year the students compete in the Virginia Culi- nary Arts Show, which Mrs. Chambers calls a “top-notch show. We’ve won lots of years,’’ she remarks. “It’s a big honor to win.’’ Members of HERO also participated in the regional show at JMU. “'l like to enter competitions,”’ said Mrs. Chambers, ‘‘oe@cause a con- test is a very valuable learning tool.” Senior Laurie Bryant has plans to at- tend college and study food manage- ment. She felt that she had benefited from the HERO program and especially the competitions; “you get a lot of ex- perience because you've got to get it just right.’’ Melissa Donald hoped to work in food service in Lexington. She said that the course had helped her “‘a lot. |know more now than | did before | took it.’’ Mrs. Chambers said that she was “quite pleased” with the program as a whole and that it was a “very fun experience.” HERO members Cindy Smith and Roxanne Ram- sey carefully cover cardboard for their Valentine cookie sale.

Steve Conner, a mem- ber of DECA Club, was a familiar face to students in need of pencils, note- books, and erasers. Last year Mr. Whitesell appointed Steve to the job. His duties included opening the store at 8:15, selling school supplies, and turning in the money at the end of each week. “'It’s a good learning experience,” Steve Matthew Fletcher Kozak Drama Club 10; French Club 9, 10, 14; Ski Club 9: LLC 8, 9, 10, 14, 12; Human Relations 10; Soccer Club 9; SCA officer 9; Wrestling 11, 42—3rd in district, regionals.

She said that DECA members were re- quired to acquire two credits and 550 hours of work experience. Although Jeannie herself was not planning to go into business, she recommended DE classes to anyone who planned a career in sales; “it will help them a whole lot,’’ she remarked. Before school Jeannie Fitch buys a notebook from Steve Conner at the school bookstore. seniors 127 428 people Unlike most students who went to school for six hours a day, senior Ka- ren Ford attended classes for only three hours. She then went to work at Huffman’s Florists - from twelve to five o’clock weekdays and nine to five Saturdays. Karen got her job through her Dis- tributive Education class. Mr. White- sell who was then DECA sponsor, heard of the opening at Huffman’s and notified Karen; she arranged an interview and was hired almost im- mediately. When asked about her duties, Ka- ren remarked, “you name it and! do it.” Specifically she spends her time waiting on customers, answering the phone, putting up stock, and delivering flowers. Karen says, “'l really enjoy it, I’m always doing something different.” Karen has been a member of DECA for two years and has worked at Huffman’s for three years. She felt that her DE classes had helped her in her work; “in the classroom you learn a lot of skills you can use.” She planned to work full-time this summer, as she did last summer.

For more than a year Mike Bowsher and Zippy Nicely have been playing in the four-man band ‘“‘Just Pickin’’’. Mike said the band started when “ | was playing the banjo and Zip was starting to play the guitar.’’ The two worked together until they were joined by two friends to form ‘Just Pickin’. The group practices twice a week and plays at parties and blue- grass festivals most weekends. The musicians were unsure about their plans for the future, although they were sure they wanted to continue to play. Zippy said. ‘We're just planning on playing around this summer at the Cockpit, Lee’s Tavern, and the White Column Inn.”’ Although the members of the band earn some money, making a profit is not their main objective. “We don’t play for money,’’ remarked Mike. “We like playing for fun.” Displaying their musical skills, Zippy Nicely and Mike Bowsher play a song for an audience of admiring seniors. seniors 134 Thomas Barkstall Vaughn, Jr. Bonnie Jean Vest DECA Club 11; SCA Rep. 10; Scarletter staff 42.

Suddenly you hear footsteps behind you, getting closer and closer, You begin to run, but you can’t escape. Then you are hit in the back with an orange rubber dart. You have been killed. You were playing K.A.O.S., “Killer As an Or- ganized Sport.’’ Seniors Jack Delaney and Glenn Skutt organized the game at school after Glenn read about it in Rolling Stone. Eighteen seniors and four underclassmen played Killer: Bryan Balazs, Bob Battle, Patrick Berry, Mark and Mike Bowsher, Jack Delaney, Richard Dunlap, Alex Hughes, Tommy Imeson, Chris John, Matt Kozak, Fred Larsen, Charles Lauck, Mike McNeese, Davidson Scott, Glenn Skutt, Marvin Smith, Laura Sweeny, Christian Teschendorff, Kate Weatherman, Butch Wil- liams, and Skippy Williams. Glenn said there would have been more players “if there had been more guns available in Rockbridge County.” Each player paid Glenn $2.50, ($1.50 for the gun and three darts and $14 for the club treasury). The player then drew from a hat the name of the person he was to kill; he had one week to kill the victim by shooting him in a vital area such as the head, chest, or back. Killings were not permitted during school or while victims were at work: Points were awarded for killing one’s assail- ant or victim, or for simply surviving. The play- er who acquired the most points by the end of the week won the contents of the club treasury. Kate Weatherman played because “I’ve never done anything like it before.’’ Matt Ko- zak explained his reasons for playing: “It’s just something to do. School is boring.’ seniors 133 434 people Plenty to do for ‘82 “For the junior class this has been a year of hard work, decision-making, and change,”’ commented junior Ann Fritchman. Led by president Cheryl Painter, vice-president Chris John, and secretary-treasurer Helen Peebles, the class sponsored various money-mak- ing activities and events in preparation for Prom. The third-place Homecoming float, “Raid the Cavaliers,” found junior re- presentatives Carrie Fallon and Cheryl Painter dressed in nightgowns and hair- curlers as they stood next to a large can of Raid. Having proven that the Class spirit could not be dampened by the rain on the parade, the eleventh- graders next sponsored the traditional junior-senior Powderpuff football game. Coached by Jeff Ax, Malcolm Higgins, Todd Mays, and Jeff Smiley, the juniors lost 6-0. The juniors then hosted the annual Christmas dance. With the theme of “Candy Cane Castle,’’ decorations for the dance included large murals of Christmas scenes and candy canes which hung from the parachute. WREL disc jockey Jay Corn and Yo-Yo Roane played music for the event, while Edwin Johnson, dressed as Santa Claus, provided additional entertain- ment. The main goal of the year was to raise money for Prom. Thanks to many hard-working juniors, the class became one of the richest ever in school histo- ry. To fund the event the juniors soon- sored two sock hops and a bake sale. The major money-making project was selling cheese and sausage, which raised over $1,000. By May the juniors had $2,000 to give the class of 1981 a dazzling Prom.

This stereotype affects six stu- dents - Margaret and Tracy Furger- son, Lynne Draper, Betsy Hellmuth, Sonya Holmes, and Maria Hunsicker - who are the daughters of ministers. The girls expressed different views about how the position of their fa- thers affects their lives. “If can be a drag,”’ said Lynne; Betsy, on the oth- er hand, remarked, “'l think people realize we're like them.

Painter Brother and sister, Jay and Pat Irvine. Who's minding the store? Like many students, Pat and Jay Ir- vine get spending money from their parents. But it’s not an allowance- it’s a salary. The Irvine family runs C G Supply, located next to their house on Route 60. The store sells antiques, and Pat and Jay work there every day after school for two hours. Pat describes their duties: “Some pieces we redo. If it has paint on it, we strip it.” They also sometimes make sales. The Irvines obtain the antiques in a variety of ways. Pat explains, “People call us’’ when they want to sell pieces; she added, “We go to auction sales.” They sell antiques to other dealers and students. She said, ‘We just price it as we get it.” Pat, a junior, and Jay, an eighth- grader, have been involved in the an- tique business for four years, since their parents opened the store. Pat says she has learned from her work; “I’ve learned the different kinds of wood in furniture.’” But she does not work be- cause of the added benefits. “| do it because | need the money for school.” In the future Pat hopes to become a P. E. teacher. But for the present, Pat and Jay Irvine will be content to sell antiques.

Old friends became reacquaint- ed and new faces were admitted into the crowds. The sophomores began the year by electing Steve Glenn president, Jennifer Batty vice-presi- dent, and Fred Larsen secretary-trea- surer, The first project was the Homecom- ing float, “Cream of Cavaliers’, with David Fitch supervising the construc- tion crew. Featuring a large soup can, the float won first place; Jamie Mays and Tammy Merchant were chosen Homecoming representatives. Toraise money, the sophomores sold spirit buttons during football and bas- ketball season, Christmas wrapping paper, and Prom corsages and bou- tonnieres. They also sponsored the Valentine’s Dance, “Lover's Lane.” With K92 disc jockey David Lee Mi- chaels providing the music, the dance decorations featured murals of cars parked along Lover's Lane and moonlit park benches. “| thought it was very good,” Amy Settle said about the dance. “It was a good year,’’ commented Ed Shaffer, “but on our projects, we could have done beftter.’’ Jamie Mays remarked, “'l think it’s been really fun.” Sophomore officers: secretary-treasurer Fred Larsen, president Steve Glenn, and vice-presi- dent Jennifer Batty.

David was elected to the office, bringing with him a vari- ety of experiences and interests. Art is one of his major pastimes. He has taken art for two years, and has entered “several pieces of art work”’ in the school art shows. David remarked, “| want to continue my art career’ through high school and college; he hopes to go on fo an art-related ca- reer. “| really want to go into advertis- ing, designing clothing, or doing com- mercials.’’ He feels that his high school art classes ‘‘will help me in the future.” Athletics is another area of interest. He played jayvee basketball and managed varsity football. His duties.as manager included cleaning equip- ment, setting up the film projector, marking the field, and running errands. A more unusual interest is gymnastics. “| wanted to be on the gymnastics team this year,’’ David remarked. He explained that he “felt funny’ be- cause only girls competed on the team. “If there was another boy,” he added, he would like to participate in floor exercises and vaulting. David is used to a busy life, since he is the seventh of eight children. He said that having older brothers and sisters has not caused problems. “It’s been easy, because | always got my way.”’ It is clear that David is accustomed to dealing with other people, and should have no problems with his new office.

LHS students Ronnie Chittum, Vernon Fitzgerald, Chris Greene, Timmy McCormick, Pug Merchant, Troy Roane, Tim Stewart, Eric Walker, and Pickle Watts are some of these boys. Sophomore Timmy McCormick, who has been involved in Boys’ Club for about two years, received the 4980 Boys’ Club Boy of the Year Award. Timmy said that in addition to year-long recreation, activities increase in the summer, “when we have car washes to raise money.” The boys also go to a week-long camp, Brethren Woods. ‘| go down there to play basket- ball,” said Eric Walker.

Led by president Jon Mamon, and vice-president Amy Carter, the ninth-grade class was involved in various projects. The first activity was the construction of the Home- coming float, with the theme of “Sink the Cavaliers in the Woolly Swamp.” Featuring a sinking shack, the float, said Jon Mamon, “looked like a swamp.’’ Homecoming repre- sentatives were Amy Carter and Judy Lowery. Asked about how the float placed in the competition, Jon replied, “| think we got about fourth.” Other projects were a bake sale, a sock-hop, and refreshment sales at girls’ basketball games. ‘The bake sale went pretty good,” re- marked Bart.

You saw her laughing in the library before school, riding her bike through town on the weekends, or working backstage during a play. Wherever she was seen, if was clear that ninth-grader Alexia Pantaze was very much involved in a variety of activities. One of Alexia’s hobbies was riding horses. ‘| ride a lot,’’ she remarked. “I’m a member of the Rockbridge Hunt.’ She explained what mem- bers of the Hunt did. “We have a semi-annual show and a point-to- point, which is a cross-country race.” She had been riding for about ten years, since she was six or seven. Another pastime was bikeriding. '! love to ride my bike; I’m really into stuff like that,’’ she commented en- thusiastically.

Corey Poindexter was a star basketball player for several years, and as soon as he graduated, his sister Tia emerged to take his place. During her eighth-grade year, Tia played jayvee basketball and was a member of the track team, although she was too young to compete. Asked if the Virginia High School League rules concerning the age of athletes both- ered her, Tia replied, “At one time it did.”’ But she has managed to make up for lost time. Now a freshman, Tia partici- pated in three varsity sports. She was named to the All-District basketball squad. She led the basketball team in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, and field goal percentage. During the winter she played volleyball. She also received honors in track; she was re- gional high jump champion, tying the school record of 5’ 4” and setting a new regional record. Her performance qualified her for state competition. Tia explained how she became in- terested in sports. “My brothers and sisters and my friends play basketball. | didn't have anything else to do.” “Hopefully’”’ Tia will continue to par- ticipate in sports through the remain- der of her high school years. She ex- pressed an interest in college athletics, saying, ‘| would like to get a scholar- ship.” Tia is opposed to the proposed cuts in the school budget because of the damage that may be done to the ath- letic program. “| know it has to be done, but | don’t think it’s fair in some cases, such as gymnastics, since they did so well this season.”’ After winning such a large number of honors during her first year of varsity athletics, Tia herself was amazed at her awards. “'It’s very surprising to me; | didn’t expect it.’ Such a successful A legacy sr fl 1 wl! freshman year is bound to lead to even greater accomplishments in the years to come.

It’s really dif- ferent from my other school. The class officers are doing a good job.” “At first | was really uptight about coming, but now |’m enjoying it.” These were some of the comments made by eighth-graders Tracy Furger- son, Susan Phillips, and Dawn Trandel, as their first year at LHS came to an end. The newcomers may have felt “‘up- tight’’ during the first few days of school, but before long they were fully immersed in extracurricular activities. Their first project was their Homecom- ing float. With the theme ‘‘Cream the Cavaliers,’’ the float featured a Cava- lier football player covered with whipped cream. A pep band rode in the back of the truck pulling the float and cheered for the class. This hard work and cheering paid off, for they won the second place prize of $15. After first semester the eighth-grad- ers elected Tal McThenia president, Janie Osborne vice-president, and Eric Wilkerson secretary-treasurer. Be- cause they were chosen late in the school year, the officers were able to organize only one money-making pro- ject, selling refreshments at the last sockhop. In spite of their slow start, said vice-president Janie Osborne, “We have great plans for this class!” Eighth-grade officers Eric Wilkerson (secretary- treasurer), Janie Osborne (vice-president), and Tal McThenia (president).

IN addition to jayvee althletes, 25 underclassmen were involved in an- other sport - soccer. Seven ninth- graders and eighteen eighth-grad- ers played little league soccer dur- ing the fall. Freshmen Barton Baisley, Jeff Hamm, Jamie Harris, Hugh Jarrard, Christie Paxton, Rick Rayrnond, and Scott Williams; and eighth-graders Kent Doane, Jenny Elmes, Troy Hall, Teddy Henneman, Jonathon Hughes, Paul Kirgis, Tal McThenia, John Merchant, Tom Rogers, Mark Rough, Sam Settle, Rob Stewart, Ray VanNess, Larry Vaughn, Sonny Weems, Jeff Wines, Damon Wooay, and David Zybko participated in the soccer program. Little league soccer was orga- nized a few years ago, largely through the efforts of Mr. Rick Kirgis. The program grew to include sever- al teams which were coached by parents. Players of different ages were assigned to various divisions, with LHS students being placed in the senior division. Teams practiced weekdays and played games Sat- urday mornings at W L. Jenny Elmes explained how she became involved in soccer. “I liked soccer during P.E., | thought it would be a good sport since girls can’t be in most sports.’ Paul Kirgis remarked, “It’s an alternate to football. It’s a fun sport that people of all ages and sizes can play.’’ Teddy Henneman said simply, ““There’s nothing else to do Saturday morning.”’ Christy Paxton and Sam Settle both at- tempt to gain possession of the ball as Kent Doane leads his teammates down the field to assist.

She made her high school stage debut in Mrs. McThing. Although she didn’t think she would get a part, she tried out because '! had faith in myself.’’ She got the role of a very forceful, domineering woman. “At first, | thought | couldn't handle the part,” she remarked. 'l had to be mean, like another person.”’ When she found she could handle the role, Lisa had enough confi- dence to audition for the three one- acts. She was cast in ‘Wings.’ She commented that this play “was a lot different from any plays | had ever seen or been in. You had to really act.” Lisa hopes to have a career on the stage. “In some way I'd like to make a future in acting,”’ she re- marked. In the more immediate fu- ture, she plans to continue in drama for the rest of high school. “Next year,’’ she said, ‘I’m planning on do- ing a lot more.” Taking time to pose for photographer Laura Sweeney is Lisa Fennell.

For ten students whose parents are on the faculty, this can possibly become a prob- lem. Mrs. Pat Randolph, mother of Tony and Robbie Randolph, teaches world history and world geography. Tony, who has been in his mother’s class, said, “It was all right. The kids were thinking | got better grades because she was my mother. ’’ Pen- ny and Laurie Price’s mother, Mrs. Jean Price, works in the library. “There are advantages,’’ Penny re- marked, “it’s nice to see her every day.” Charles Lauck is the son of math teacher, Charlie Lauck. ‘‘He always knows all my grades before | get them.’’ Anthony Wallace’s mother, Mrs. Shirley Wallace, works in the cafeteria. ‘| never see her during the day,’ Anthony said. “Unless | have something to talk to her about, | stay away from the cafete- sks Neil Stark is in a special position because his father is Principal Glen Stark. ‘| kind of like it because I’m not picked on much,’’ commented Neil. If fellow students “did some- thing against the school rules, they asked if | was going to tell my dad all the time.’ Bo, Sarah, and Jenny Leadbetter are the children of Mrs. Wanda Leadbetter, who teaches English. Bo summed it all up by say- ing, “You can’t get by without do- ing your homework.” Also working in the cafeteria were Mrs. Faye McCullough and Mrs. Jane Farrow, mothers of Don McCullough and Sherry Farrow.

Mrs. Joan Whitesell, Ms. Barbara Stenzel, Mrs. Sally Simons, and Mrs. Peggy Hays are dedicated runners. Although they have been jogging for different periods of time, they cite many of the same reasons for running. For about five years, Mrs. Whitesell has run a mile a day. She said that she began to run with some friends and neighbors, and has made it a habit. She explained that her major reason for jogging is “for my health, | guess; | feel better when | run.’’ She also sings in a gospel group, and 'l find that running gives me more breath control.” She had not en- countered any real difficulties while running because “‘it’s out in a quiet neighborhood.” Running tor Their Lives Ms. Stenzel has run “‘since April 6,”’ she said proudly. Mrs. Betty Collins ‘got me started; we would run at six in the morning.’ Now Ms. Stenzel jogs two miles five or six days a week. She runs “mainly to keep in shape.”’ She commented that she has had few strange experiences while running “but there’s always one dog that comes out and barks, and I’ve seen a couple of snakes.” For nine years, Mrs. Simons has run three or four miles every night. She began to jog when “my husband took a continuing education medi- cal course in aerobic s. We thought it would be good to have constant exercise. We decided to start run- ning.” They kept if up, she ex- plained, ‘because | feel better when | run for aerobic reasons. When you don’t run you feel terri- ble.” She added that the exercise gives her a “‘good attitude.” The Simons have interesting habits concerning running. For instance, they always “‘run after dark, never before ten o'clock. In Colorado we used to run in shorts at ten below zero,’’ Mrs. Simons remarked. Describing different experiences she had while running, she com- mented, “One time | hit a curb and did three flips in the street, landed on my feet in front of about 100 people, and kept on running.” She added that sometimes when she jogs slowly, “it looks like I’m chasing my husband. Dogs,” she remarked, “are terrible.” Once a German shepherd chased them and Dr. Si- mons gave him a football block. After that, that dog did not bother them. But, Mrs. Simons added, “‘liv- ing in the country, it’s a different ex- perience.” Tied up in their running are Ms. Barbara Stenzel, Mrs. Joan Whitesell, and Mrs. Sally Simons.

Mr. Emory Potter grew the plants that were in his room, Ms. Carter Drake and Mrs. Betty Collins’s rooms, the library and the teachers’ lounge. He said that he has been growing plants “all my life;”” he brought them to school because “Mrs. Roberts and the teachers thought that they would add to their rooms.” An additional reason for taking his plants to school was to keep them warm. Although during warm weather he grew them on the back porch, in the winter they need to be brought inside. He explained that the school was “‘a place to keep them.” “Most of the things | have,”’ Mr. Potter remarked, “are ferns, Swed- ish ivy, cactus, and snake plant, be- cause they’re easier to take care of.’’ No matter what kind they were, Mr. Potter’s plants added to the ap- pearance of the school.

At The Dawn ot A Decade Powderpuff games, soc hops, AFS carnations, field trios, SCA elections, Prom decorating, basketball tourna- ments - these are the memories of a year of school. It was a year full of the end of exper- iences - the end of the senior lounge, the cancellation of the senior picnic, the end of unlocked lockers, the end of early release for upperclassmen, the possible end of many activities be- cause of budget cuts - the end of a decade. It was the birth of new experiences here at LHS - anew principal, new poli- cies, new teachers, a new volleyball team, a new district, a new setting for graduation. It was also the birth of new experiences nationally - a new Presi- dent, the release of American hos- tages in Iran, the successful flight of the space shuttle, the attempted assassi- nation of both the President and of the Pope - a new decade. Graduation and the coming of sum- mer signaled the end of the year’s ex- periences and yet it signaled the arri- val of new activities, events, memo- ries, hopes and dreams at the dawn of a decade. Stuffed with discarded notebooks, old test pa- pers, and report cards, the full trash can is all that remains of a busy school year. accent of x Ma oS tr AO Ry NO ONE oi 6 Detter The last day of school is reflected in open lock- ers and trashed halls.

Special thanks go to our photog- raphers Alan Bowles, Alicia Buchan- an, Pepper Lawson, and Laura Sweeny who took almost all of the pictures; Mike Collingwood of Andres’ for printing and developing them; and to the few people who came to our rescue by donating pictures when we needed them. | would also like to thank our busi- ness manager Liza Davis for handling our ads; Chuck Lockard of Josten’s American Yearbook Company for answering all of our questions; and to the few people who worked on the book throughout the year. Most of all | would like to thank two very special people, Anne Coulling, our copy editor, and Stan- ley Lewis, our layout editor, for Working late to miss yet another dec line are Sara Rhodenizer, Stanley Lev and Anne Coulling. ‘ spending all of those endless hours working on this book and for never letting me down when | depended on them.
