This is thanks to the all- popular, ever-useful telephone. Dates are made, secrets are ex- changed, assignments are reconferred, and birthdays are recognized, ll through Lexington’s telephone lines, as our students reach out to keep in touch. Before school even started, the ru- mors began. The lines buzzed with: “Did you hear about all the classes that have been cut?” ‘Yeah, a lot of the teachers have lost their job positions.”’ ‘Now the classes are going to be packed!” ‘T wonder if they're really going to have that computer course?” Ameria year GOMa annie tb i Ui COMI amereai spar wages ‘I heard that they only have enough money for one computer though.”’ But the student body pulled togeth- er, reached out to the new faculty, and kept in touch with the teachers lost. Not everything was bad though. The new teachers had new ideas and shared them with the rest of the faculty in an attempt to make the year unique. These ideas, along with exciting changes are helping the school to reach out and touch new friends, new teachers, and new experiences.

You mean teachers, home- work and ball games? The thought may ring a pleasant bell with some, but it’s only a distant memory to most of us. We are still cleaning the sand out of our shoes and talking to friends on the phone to exchange stories from sum- mer camp. A new year of reading Shakespeare and trying to understand trigonometric identities can't be possi- ble! Let's try to see what activities made time disappear so quickly. While most of us were playing in the sun, Maria Hunsicker was spending her time at the Governor's School for the Gifted. At Girls’ State were Donna Wetmore, Tami Moore and Theresa Zybko. Robert Glenn, Troy Roane, and Cordell Sensabaugh went to Boys State. Enriching their knowledge of jour- nalism were Jennifer Batty and Ami Settle at the Colonial Williamsburg Journalism Workshop. “We got a chance to meet and exchange ideas with people from all over the country. The ideas we got will help us to make this year’s Crystal the best!’’, revealed senior Jennifer Batty. While some were gaining on the aca- demic side, many were gaining athleti- cally.

Unfortunately, summer is over. When that first day of school starts ev- eryone will forget about working be- cause they will be too busy reminiscing about the great vacation they had.

The Homecoming Court was presented by Senior Class Presi- dent Fred Larsen. Homecoming Queen Kim Hatcher was escorted by senior football co-captain Robert Glenn, and Maid-of-Honor Ami Settle was escorted by senior co-captain Dar- rell Plogger. The Senior Class sponsored the dance with the theme of ‘Vacation.’ On Saturday morning, a number of seniors came to decorate. Decorations consisted of a canopied parachute, multi-colored balloons and streamers, decorated tables, and posters of differ- ent vacation sites. There were travel posters of Paris, Hawaii, The Bahamas, Jamaica to mention a few of the favorite vacation spots highlighted. Blues, yel- lows, greens, and reds gave unexpect- ed color to the gymnasium. Senior Cor- dell Sensabaugh recalled the work that went into the decorations, ‘I didn’t re- alize how hard it was to decorate for a dance. Even though many thought it wasn't as good as the past, a lot of time and effort went into it.'’ Music for the big event was provided by DJ Lee Drew. Smiling as she recalled the evening, freshman Jill Conner remarked, “It was fun. I enjoyed it.” I had an excellent time! I felt like a princess! It was as much fun being the princess as the Queen!” enthusiastical- ly commented Maid-of-Honor Ami Set- tle.

Homecoming Kickoff Seniors kicked off Homecoming Week with the nominations for Home- coming Queen. Jennifer Batty, Rhonda Camden, Holly Clark, Kim Hatcher, Andrea LaRue, Jamie Mays, Yvonne McCormack, Missy McDaniel, Tammy Merchant, Ami Settle, Nita Styles, and Theresa Zybko were nominated for queen. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were dress-up days. On Wednesday, Spook and Clash Day, senior Cordell Sensabaugh and freshman Kay Floyd received tickets to the Homecoming movie as rewards for their exceptional costumes. The Homecoming movie, “Tales from the Crypt,’ prompted sen- ior Jacqui Letrud to laugh, “I didn’t think the movie was that scary, but it was funny. One of the funniest parts was when a dead man’s hand was flop- ping around his head.” Fifties’ Day, Thursday, was repre- sented by bobby socks and greasy hair. Senior Timmy McCormick and fresh- man Elizabeth Knapp had the costumes most reminiscent of the Fifties’ era. Their prizes for having the best outfits were tickets to the Homecoming foot- ball game. On Red and White Day, Friday, stu- dents were encouraged to show their spirit by wearing the school colors. Senior Kathy Ruley and eighth-grader Stacy Graves showed the most school spirit and in return received tickets to 12 homecoming week the Homecoming football game. After the student body voted for the Homecoming queen, Mr. Glen Stark announced that Kim Hatcher and Ami Settle had received the majority of the votes and that the queen would be an- nounced during half-time at the foot- ball game. Each class voted for class representa- tives to the Homecoming court. The court consisted of seniors Tammy Mer- chant and Andrea LaRue, juniors Kelly Berry and Sue Vess, sophomores Caro- lyn Rife and Janice Judy, freshmen Tonya Hall and Wanda Floyd, and eighth-grader Diane Zybko. During half-time at the Lexington- William Byrd football game on Friday night, the Homecoming court was pre- sented and the queen was announced. Kim Hatcher, escorted by student body president Rob Brittigan, was crowned queen. Ami Settle, escorted by senior class president Fred Larsen, was named maid-of-honor. Kim, who was very excited about the honor said, “'It was a shock; I wish it hadn't ended so soon, but the excitement will continue always.” Rob, Kim's escort, said, “You should have seen her face when they announced her name, | thought she was going to faint.’ Freshman repre- sentative Tonya Hall enthusiastically stated, “It was fun and I enjoyed doing ibe Senior Timmy McCormick displays the costume that helped him win the prize for Fifties’ Day.

As Josten’s rep. Chuck Lockard explains yearbook options, junior Mike Steele debates the choices for his 1983 Crystal. Cash, Commitment, Culture Variety is the name of the game, as this year’s assemblies have shown. Fan- fare, humor, business, and even money were part of the proceedings. As Senior Rob Brittigan opened the magazine assembly the students were settling down for a humdrum hour. Lit- tle did they suspect that some lucky person was going to play ‘The Price Is Right’ and win a Walkman. Participants, chosen at random, were: juniors Lisa Ayres and Tia Poin- dexter; 8th grader Sherri Steele; soph- omore Brian Floyd, junior Brenda Hen- derson and senior Tabb Osborne. Tabb was the winner of the Walkman. Sunland Magazine Representative E. G. Shephard described the prizes to be won by selling magazines. There were several note worthy prizes awarded. Seniors Conna Duff and Holly Clark won cash pr izes of $100 and $50 respectively. Freshman Paula Dale won an Atari for top sales. Second and third place salespersons were sophomore Janice Judy and sen- ior Alicia Buchanan who chose cash awards. Over $13,000 was collected from the magazine sales, the highest ever. Reggie Smith held a very captive au- dience as he spoke on “Short Term Pain for Long Term Gain. ’ He pointed out that school is a very important part of life and that school life is a short time compared to living out in the world. He urged us to use that opportunity and enjoy it to the fullest, ‘after all-you're only there once.” To the delight of his audience Reg- gie told a personal story of his high school years. Sporting a new haircut and clothes, Reggie had _ proudly walked through the halls the first day of school. During the course of the day, many of the upperclassmen laughed at him and made fun of his big head, call- ing him “Headquarters.” As the day went by Reggie's self-confidence wore to a frazzle, waning to the point that he decided not to go to school anymore. After school that day Mrs. Smith took Reggie downtown and stopped in front of a building marked ‘Headquarters.”’ She explained to him that “headquar- ters” is where important things hap- pen. From then on out Reggie's self- confidence surpassed every one else's. Reggie kept the students in stitches by using Soap Opera titles such as ‘Days of our Lives,” ‘Another World,” and ‘General Hospital’’ to create a monologue on life. Senior Susan Lack- ey remarked that “the routine was great. The best part was the way he used them pertaining to us.” “Self”, a hand puppet created by Reggie, and senior Timmy McCormick were the highlight of the program. In his unique way, ‘Self’, with Timmy's help, showed us that you cannot love others if first you cannot love yourself. Ballet performers Dale Shields and Tim Hubbard displayed technique, tal- ent, and a dedication for what they do. During a fifteen minute warm-up rou- tine, Director George Verdak ex- plained each exercise. He pointed out that the routine usually takes one full hour. In a fanfare of color and activity, Dale and Tim danced to a segment of The Birds” and then to the music of Jellyroll Morton. The dancing ap- peared effortless; however, they as- sured us it is not as easy as it looks. Senior Todd Smith was asked to help demonstrate how the lifting of weights compared to lifting a dancer. Todd suc- cessfully lifted 125 pounds of dead weight. In contrast Tim easily lifted Dale's 118 pounds, as she sprung and shifted her weight. Todd stated, ‘The lift I did proved to be harder than the lift he did with the girl, because they worked together. I enjoyed it; Ballet needs more recognition.”’ As the yearbook assembly opened, students waited in anticipation. Sud- denly the lights went off and only the sounds of expectation could be heard. Then there it was .. . the slide show, showing people in various facets of school life: junior Barbara Horn in the business room; freshmen Dina Dan- dridge and Khristie Merchant, enjoy- ing a joke over lunch; sophomore Pam Smith sweating it out at flag practice; freshman David Mette playing to Mr. Torian’s tune; 8th graders Missy Crist, Leslie Hoke, and David Boyes in art class. As the show progressed so did the enthusiasm. Afterwards, Josten's repre- sentative Chuck Lockard stressed the importance of buying a yearbook. Our high school years are important, and assemblies are a big part. They inform us, entertain us, and keep us aware of the world around us. Dale Shield and Tim Hubbard are at their best performing to a tune of Jellyroll Morton. Liza Woods and Margaret Bolen, juniors, fill out yearbok sign up cards while senior Amy Carter listens to the speaker. i ARs: Dale Shield flutters lightly on her toes in the ‘Birds’.

It was depressing to leave the bright colors and enter the dim halls of school. Depression didn't last long though, as the variety of activities reached out and swept up the students in excite- ment. Our athletic programs were trium- phant and proud of their numerous wins, causing school spirit to soar. Assemblies such as the ballet dem- onstration, given by the Indianapolis Ballet Company, and the inspirational talk given by Reggie Smith, offered entertaining diversions from the school day. Fall also brought the annual emer- gence of the door-to-door salesper- sons, who began selling with fero- cious enthusiasm. The sophomores � sold mugs, the juniors pushed cheese -and sausage, and choir members sold “canisters of popcorn, candy, and ses- “ame mix. FFA members provided itangy oranges and grapefruits for purchase. Another kind of salespersons lurked in the halls at lunch, grabbing unsuspecting students and inducing them to buy NHS candy or yearbooks from the Crystal staff. Along academic lines, Career Day and College Day provided informa- tion about different jobs and schools. Former students returned to reach out and reassure or advise seniors and juniors about college life. The Guidance Department also reached out to help students in var- ious ways. It started study skills ses- sions, Financial Aid Workshops, and presented films such as ‘Creating a Reputation,’” and “Marijuana and Your Mind.” Along with all the fun activities a few terrors creeped in. These terrors came in the form of PSAT’s, SAT’s or Achievements, which juniors and sen- iors struggled through. But these hor- rors were soon behind us and juniors delighted in ordering class rings, while seniors took another step to- ward graduation by ordering caps and gowns. Other fall activities included the formation of a model UN, an entire week of free reading for 30 minutes a period each d ay, and a new logo de- signed for the school. As we sadly watched the colors fade from fall into winter, we faintly recalled the snow and school closings of last year and suddenly we were reaching out for winter with great an- ticipation! Winners of the literary character day group together to form a varied crowd. Bucky Ayers, Willie Wilhelm, Charles Kirkpatrick, Rob- bie Canfield, Tracy Dickerson, Cressia Hatcher, Jenny Leadbetter, David Boyes, and Trey Lows- ley represent characters from Dr. Jekyl to Rag- gedy Ann.

Held on December 11, the dance attracted only a sparse crowd, but Ju- nior President Jon Mamon said, “I thought the dance was a success. Al- though we didn't make much money, everyone seemed to have a good time!” D.J. T. Oast kept the people that did attend constantly on the dance floor, gyrating or swaying to popular tunes. The dance became a cozy haven when snow was spotted by one dancer. Everyone clapped and cheered its chilly arrival, and then renewed their dancing with fervor. Senior Shannon Spencer recalled, ‘I really had a great time, and leaving the dance to walk out into the falling snow gave the night a beautiful end.” SALLE ST I TTS) A special dance is shared by sophomore Ja- nice Judy and junior Mark Farrish.

First he tantalized us by shaking a few snow flakes here and there, making us think a real snow storm would occur. Then, just when he had us waiting anxiously for the big fall, he would snap up his few flakes and retreat to the north. We had despaired of ever having snow- men, snow ice-cream, sleigh rides, a white Christmas, or, most importantly, school closings. But Old Man Winter is tempermental as well as grumpy, and he traveled back to us and gave us not just a few snow falls, but an honest to goodness can’'t-see-your- hand-in-front-of-your-face-blizzard! This time his tantrum left flakes lying around in piles for days, and these piles kept us out of school for several days. But when we did get back to school, a variety of activities kept us busy. Norfolk Western presented a safety program one morning, and Valentine goodies were available from many clubs. Auditions for the Spring Variety Show were started by Mr. Charles Putting the snowfall to good use, Mrs. Bar- bara Winfrey and her husband enjoy a day of zooming down the slopes at Wintergreen.

The Region III] Forensics Tournament was held here and many students helped to make it a smooth running competi- tion. The one-act play ‘The Bald So- prano,” under student director An- drea LaRue, became one of two plays selected from the district to advance to regional competition where it re- ceived excellent ratings entitling it to advance to state competition. Sophomores took the Differential Aptitude Test and together with other underclassmen, signed up for next year’s classes. We had tragedy and triumphs oc- cur during the chilly season. Sopho- more Lea Schreiber was struck by a truck after getting off the bus at her home. The entire school held its breath as everyone waited for her re- covery. Cards and notes were sent to raise Lea's spirits and speed her re- covery from surgery. When her com- plete recovery was assured, the stu- dents heaved a sigh of relief. The good news, that junior Lynne Draper had been selected as one of twelve students from Virginia to be inter- viewed for the 1983 Japan-U.S. Sen- ate Scholarship Program, was a source of great pride. Senior Robert Rorrer was selected to the All-Virginia Chorus and the school cheered his triumph. Seventeen students were in- ducted into the NHS at a ceremony attended by family and friends proud of their achievements. After much debate the Rockbridge County School Board voted to contin- ue sending its 8th graders to the high school for the next academic year. Another topic for discussion was a re- quest for a joint school administration between Buena Vista and Rockbridge County. The decision on that request remains to be seen. Cold and unfriendly as he is some- times, Old Man Winter provided us with a lot of laughs, tumbles, snow- made friends, and gooey sweet ice- cream. All-in-all the students decided that he’s not such a bad guy. In fact, he'll probably get an invitation to come back next year, provided he gets us out of school a few days to play with him.

Nonetheless spirits were lifted as stu- dents claimed chocolate kisses - the only kind of kisses students could ex- change without getting a PDA (Public Display of Affection) referral! The Art Club sold the kisses, while the AFS sold red, white, and peppermint carnations for those who wished to herald Valen- tine’s Day in a fragrant way. The Occu- pational Foods class, relying on the old saying, ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,’ took orders for heart shaped cookies, with a message of your choice written in red icing right on it! During first period of the day we returned to school, the small tokens of friendship and love were distributed. Unfortunately, the scheduled Valen- tine’s Day dance, “On the Wings of Love,’ was cancelled due to the big snow storm, which arrived Thursday, preceeding the dance weekend. Stu- dents were extremely disappointed, yet resigned. Considering all things, the month of February was quite worthwhile; cook- ies, sweet kisses and illegal hugs. HERO students Lisa Wood and Jill Sorrells wrap up their Valentine’s Day cookies for distri- bution.

Action As anyone can see, school life can be very exciting. But what people really don't know about is the work behind the scenes. After one looks past the fans at the ball games, the band at half- time, and the pictures at art shows, one experiences the fun that goes into school spirit and participation. When lunch time comes, everyone heads for “Torian Beach’. To add a friendly touch, lockers are decorated at the beginning of the year. And when problems show up, the teachers are al- ways willing to help. So whenever one wonders what those students are up to, say ‘cheese’ and remember . . . it’s only CANDID CAMERA! With a look of dread on his face, junior Hugh Jarrard prepares to endure yet another class dur- ing an endless school day. people 25 26 spring Trips, Tours, And Term Papers Winter seemed to drag on way past the first day of spring. Low tempera- tures and whipping winds kept stu- dents from unpacking their bright spring wardrobes. The weather wasn't only a problem here in Lexing- ton, but all through Virginia and all across the United States. This was confirmed as phone calls were placed to friends and relatives just to keep in touch and to report the activities keeping us busy. Spring is always an active season. This year was no different. The music department kicked off the season with its annual Spring Variety Show. The acts were full of the vigor and bright- ness of the season. The choir traveled to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania for the exchange trip after Phoenixville’s choir visited Lex- ington. The band started a new tradi- tion and decided to take their trip to Buckroe Beach, Virginia where their director, Mr. Charles Torian grew up. In May, the Spring Concert and Art Show featured the band and choir to- gether and the year’s accomplish- ments of the art classes. The Art Club also took a trip to another city, Washington, D.C. The 48-hour trip was especially exciting for the eighth grade members of the club. Washington buzzed with L.H:S. stu- dents this spring because the yearly senior trip also took place in the na- tion's capitol. It was a cold, windy day as the class toured the capitol, the Su- preme Court, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. As the weather started to be more characteristic of spring, the students became even more enthusiastic. After term papers were turned in, even be- fore they were graded, it was hard to control spring fever and seniorittis. Eighth graders Patty Gardner, Carey Brown, and Elizabeth Rogers, warm them- selves in the early afternoon sun. Junior artist Eric Walker works on an art assignment in the library. In celebration of Mr. Stark’s birthday, Rob Brittigan presents the principal with cards, cake, and hats. As usual, Mrs. Carol Phemister’s eyes are shining and her smile is bright.

Quest For Curtains Curtains seemed to be the word that buzzed between not only the SCA officers but the whole student body. It wasn't that the students had anything to hide, they were just trying to stir interest in and raise money for new stage curtains. Headed by president Rob Brittigan, the SCA kept the curtains as their main goal for the year. Rob, while carrying out all the many other tasks of leading the student body, also helped raise money by selling Christ- mas ornaments along with the rest of the SCA. Frank Friedman, being the vice- president, also helped with both the school government and fund raising. He also took his turn, like the rest of the officers reading the morning an- nouncements. As the money came in from the fund raising projects and donations from community clubs, the SCA’s sec- retary-treasurer, Amy Carter man- aged it well. Amy “enjoyed playing rich. Keeping track and records of the events of the school were historian Amanda Badgett and reporter Emily Scott. Amanda kept a scrapbook and Emily wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper and kept the bulletin boards colorful and up to date. Lynne Draper helped maintain the honesty, fairness, and justice of the school as honor committee chairman. She and the honor council, with re- presentatives from each grade level, did their job well. The SCA officers held the respect of the student body, not only for their positions but for the way they ran the school. New stage curtains hang in the gym, thanks to the efforts of the SCA officers and the student body. Junior Frank Friedman solemnly accepts the very important position of SCA president from senior Rob Brittigan.

Bobby Watson? Which Bobby Wat- son do you mean?” inquires senior Robert Ror- rer in his role as Mr. Smith in the ‘‘Bald Sopra- no.” Where can a student go to see bald sopranoes and glorified brats? Well, the Drama Club provided both of these oddities for the viewing plea- sure of the public. Both plays were directed by students under the super- vision of faculty adviser, Mrs. Louise Marshall. “The Glorified Brat’’ was directed by vice-president of the club, senior Rob Brittigan. The cast was made up of senior Tami Moore, junior Trey Lowsley, freshman Paula Dale and eighth grader Sarah Phemister. The play toured elementary schools Lyl- burn Downing and Central, delight- ing the children with its familar child- parent conflict. ‘‘Since kids can re- late to the problems the play dealt with,’ explained Rob, ‘‘we decided to take it around to the local elementary schools. It was a great experience and we had a good time.”’ “The Bald Soprano” was directed by club president, senior Andrea Bald Brats? LaRue. The cast of this play consisted of seniors Robert Rorrer, Jennifer Bat- ty, Tami Moore, junior Trey Lowsley, sophomore Tal McThenia, and eighth grader Sarah Phemister. The stage manager for both plays was senior Shannon Spencer while sophomore Sam Settle was in charge of sound effects. Under Andrea's skillful direc- tion, the play went to Districts, where it became one of two plays that ad- vanced to Regional Competition. It gained the honor of attending States, held at U. Va. Sarah Phemister, a newcomer to drama, commented, “'] had a lot of fun, especially when we advanced to States. I liked being able to hang around with so many older people and learn more about acting.” The plays were performed one night to an appreciative audience. Andrea summed up the year, “The audience topped it all off. It's been such a hard year, but one in which we ve accomplished so much. It’s the first time students have run all aspects of a dramatic production. I'm glad we had such a large audience to share our success with.”’ The Drama Club itself was rather dormant. Senior Ami Settle summed up the feelings of the other officers, seniors David Fitch and Jennifer Wise, ‘Because of a new sponsor, we spent a lot of time just getting orga- nized. The fact that our plays went as far as they did says something for the enthusiasm of our club, even if we didn't show it through bake sales and car washes.” Enthusiasm is certainly one thing that the Drama Club and its actors and actresses don't lack. So if you're ever in the market for a bald soprano or a glorified brat, check out the Dra- ma Club. Who knows, next year they might even have glorified sopranoes and bald brats. Oh boy!

It’s come to be like a tradition for the music department.” And tradition it has been. For the past five years, the variety show has pro- vided the community with a source of endless entertainment. As far as variety shows go, this was the last one, and it ended with a bang. 32 variety show As usual most of the show featured singers only but for the first time also included jazz, classical ballet, and mod- ern dancing, several choreographed numbers, a band called “CAB”, and a skit entitle “Snap, Crackle, and Pop.” Sophomore Janice Judy remarked, “' thought it went well, but there still needs to be more variety. It was fun though.” Junior Liza Woods, seniors Jennifer Wise and Rob Brittigan try to convince freshman Sarah Rorrer to put ‘Snap, Crackle and Pop into her morning.”’ Junior Kelly Berry displays her talent for the crowd. Her song is “Songbird.” The group CAB made its debut at the Variety Show.

As the end of the school year ap- proaches, the thoughts of graduation, “skip days,’ and Prom become a part of every-day school life. Prom, espe- cially, is anticipated by the juniors and seniors. The junior class, headed by President Jon Mamon, wanted to make this Prom the best ever! The first step was deciding on a theme. '‘An Evening in the South Pacif- ic’ appealed to almost everyone. The idea of decorating the gym with emer- ald green palms and bright tropical flowers got the planning off to a good start. Hugh Jarrard solved the problem of the floor centerpiece. He suggested a waterfall cascading off the bleachers. Withe the help of shop teacher Mr. Rector Engleman and fellow students, 36 prom decorations construction was started. Heading the painting of the murals was Patty McDaniel. Using her artistic ability, she drew and helped paint mu- ral after mural after mural... . Art teacher Mrs. Pam Tinsley was always willing to lend a helping hand, or paint brush as it turned out. But when it came down to who really got things together, Miss Stephanie Darrell and Mrs. Lillian Mears, class ad- visers, are the ones who really deserve a hand. Through the thick and thin of decorating they were always there to smooth out the wrinkles and get things rolling again. They also had a few words of praise for the efforts of the junior class, ‘Congratulations, Juniors. It was a job well done!” Margaret Bolen and Emily Scott busily decorate the Seniors’ arch with festive paper mache flowers. Literally lending a hand, Trey Lowsley, Robbie Randolph, and Bart Baisley hold the ladder so murals can be hung. Decorators Jeff Hamm, Bobby Clark, and Jon Mamon rises above all when hanging Frank Friedman contemplate an idea of how Prom Murals. to hold up the palm trees. Hanging bamboo ladders is right up Dean Hall and Gene Reynold’s alley. prom decorations 37 south Pacitic Evening The Junior-Senior Prom proved to be a terrific evening of entertainment. The theme, ‘‘An Evening in the South Pacific,’’ became apparent to students as they entered the door. Immediately they were surrounded by surprising murals. An advancement into the gym intensified the feeling of being on some far away tropical island. All of the deco- rations contributed to the theme of the evening from the ocean scenes painted on the murals, to the balmy palm trees, to the cascading fountain in the gym. “The decorations were beautiful! It proved that the juniors spent a lot of time and effort preparing for the Prom,’’ expressed senior Veda Mon- roe. Junior Cheryl Hostetter believed that “although the band choice, ‘Charlie,’ was a last minute decision, it proved to be a good one as they kept a constant beat of rhythm and blues the whcle night through.” Around 10 P.M. the highlight of the evening began when junior class presi- dent John Mamon announced the sen- iors and their dates as they strolled arm- in-arm through the arch. A dedication, the theme from ‘New York, New York’, was made to the Class of ‘83 as they swayed to the music. When the dance drew to a close, many students planned to continue the evening's festivities at one of the multi- tude of post-Prom parties, some of which would last until dawn. Junior Karen McCormick reflected, After working long, hard hours on the Prom, it proved to be successful as ev- eryone seemed to be enjoying them- selves.”’ Senior Ridge Robinson escorts junior Laura Jones through the arch during the senior promenade. 38 prom Senior Anne Herring and junior deff Sharing a quiet moment away from the Wood take a break from the festivities with crowd are senior Steffant Fennell and junior Senior Lisa Wood and her date.

Keeping In Touch With The Action Students reached out to each other many times during the year’s various sports activities. Joyous hugs were shared in triumphs and sad hugs in defeats. Happily there were more triumphs than defeats and every student swelled with pride for their athletes and coaches, reaching out to draw them closer to congratulate them or to help ease the pain of losing. The saying, “it’s not if you win or lose, but how you play the game that counts,” is true of our athletes. They played to their utmost, giving 100% and always winning or losing with good grace and sportsmanship. It is difficult to strive to be the best, to reach out for the triumph, and not lose sight of other people's feelings or goals. Though this is a difficult task, our athletes accomplished it smoothly and with few ruffles. 47 What this team lacked in size and experience they made up for in speed. In twelve years coaching at six different schools, this was the quickest team | have been associated with.’’ - Coach Larry Bradley. In his first year here, Bradley accom- plished a great deal. The team’s suc- cess was an obvious sign of hard work, discipline, time, and effort. The regular season record was 8-2. For the second year in a row the team won the District Title. Unfortunately, it lost the Regional semi-finals to Brook- ville which made the overall record 8- S Quarterback Darrell Plogger com- mented, “We surprised a lot of people by winning the district championship. The team really pulled together.’’ The team's first loss was to Lord Bote- tourt. With only thirteen seconds left on the clock, the opponent scored, taking the lead. Senior Todd Smith said, ‘‘Go- ing into the game, we weren't as up as we should have been but when we did catch fire, it was too late. However, we did play a good game.”’ Shutting out William Byrd made Homecoming that much more memora- ble. The team was overwhelmed with support, adding to the effects of it all. The News-Gazette named three seniors to the All-Area team. Darrell Plogger, quarterback, topped the area in passing yardage and touchdown passes (883 yards and 11 touchdowns). Pug Merchant, tailback and defensive halfback, gave the All-Area team “a dangerous running threat as well as a passing and pass receiver threat,’’ said the News-Gazette. Jack Gearing was the top tackle for the year. Gearing averaged five first hits through the 48 varsity football Discipline, Time Effort eleven games. He also had three fum- ble recoveries and intercepted a pass. Gearing was quoted saying, 'l feel as if it's a team effort and don’t think indivi- duals should be singled out.” Five players were named to the Blue Ridge District 1982 All-District Team. First team players were: quarterback Darrell Plogger; running back Pug Merchant; end Troy Roane; guard Jack Gearing; defensive back Pug Mer- chant; and defensive lineman Cordell Sensabaugh. “' felt this year’s football season was the best I have ever had. Even though we didn't make it past the first round of regional, we (the team) played some tough opponents during the regular season and one of those advanced to the state finals.’’ said Sen- sabaugh. Second team players were: punter Troy Roane; defensive back Troy Roane; lineback Jack Gearing, and de- fensive lineman, junior Jon Mamon. Merchant and Roane both broke ex- isting school records for passes caught; Merchant catching 20, and Roane 24. Merchant also broke another school re- cord receiving nine touchdown passes. Roane gained 590 yards. Plogger twice broke existing records for three TD’s in a single game. He also tied the season record at 1100 yards passing in a single season. “T felt kind of confident going for an interception because I knew if I did get beat on a pass play, I had two real good teammates to back me up - Mike Ents- minger and Pug Merchant,” said Troy Roane.

The team’s new coach, Mr. Jeff Mor- gan, deserved a lot of credit for the team’s wins. Morgan, a former nose- guard for the VMI Keydets, worked tre- mendously hard in his first season coaching. Morgan said, ‘There were a lot of new faces and names to learn, and even though most of our talent was lost to varsity, it was still a good year. The team as a whole did a super job. I hate to single out people, but if I had to, it would probably be Michael Hughes and Eddie Brown, the team's co-cap- tains.” Another player, eighth-grader Alan Ayers recalled, “The game against Staunton River which we won, was great! Everyone was glad and hyster- ical and it seemed a short ride back to school. When asked about the game against Buena Vista, Ayers stated, ‘Even though we lost, we played as hard as we could, but they just seemed to play harder.” Front Row: Randy Potter, Andy Foster, Michael Hughes, Eddie Brown, Mike George, Robbie Garrison, Chris Sorrells, Reggie Walker.

We were inexperienced but everyone improved tremendously as the season progressed. Sophomore Chris Fritchman affirmed, “I look for- ward to next year’s basketball season. | hope we go to the State Competition.” When asked if she thought the team was as good as last year’s team Coach Stenzel answered, ‘‘By the end of the year, the team was playing as well as any team we've had at LHS.

The leading runner for the girls was sophomore Debbie Erchul while junior Trey Lowsley led the boys’ team. In dual meets, the girls’ team was unde- feated with a record of 4-0. The girls’ team logged a 26-9 overall record and participated in the ALCOVA, Blue Ridge, and University of Virginia Invi- tationals. When asked about the sea- son, junior Emily Scott said, ‘Both teams improved. The girls’ team ac- complished its goal of winning districts and gaining seventh in state.” The boys’ team compiled an 18-14 record overall and a dual meet record of 6-2. The boys also participated in the ALCOVA, Blue Ridge, and U. Va. Invi- tationals. Senior Fred Larsen comment- ed, ‘I was just surprised how well we did as a team. We had a strong team even though we did not have an out- standing individual. Everybody ran well. In one meet five guys came in in a row.” Senior Tabb Osborne and juniors 56 cross country Emily Scott and Kelly Berry served as tri-captains for the girls’ team. Senior Fred Larsen and junior Hugh Jarrard were co-captains for the boys’ team. In post-season action, Scott finished fourth in the Blue Ridge District meet followed by freshman Kirsten Plant in fifth and Maria Erchul in sixth place, as the girls won the meet. The boys fin- ished fourth in the District meet behind a tenth place finish by Lowsley and a twelfth place finish by freshman Jon Larsen. In the regionals, the girls were beaten by district foe Alleghany by a one point margin. They got revenge in the state meet as Plant led the way toa seventh place finish for the team and a victory over Alleghany. The future for the cross country teams looks bright thanks to the perfor- mances of some of the younger run- ners. Coach Charles Lauck said, ‘We won our first District Championship in Cross Country and the girls deserve a lot of credit for that but even without the championship I would have to say that because of the young men and women that I was working with, it was an enjoyable and rewarding season.” Front Row: Maria Erchul, Kirsten Plant, Kelly Berry, Laurie Lamont, Kirk Rorrer. 2nd Row: Tabb Osborne, Fred Larsen, Jon Larsen, Johnny Fix, Debbie Erchul, Danny Cobb.

This difficulty, coupled with the adjustment of Coach Larry Bradley's first year, caused the matmen to get off to a slow start. But all things considered, including the tough sched- ule, the grapplers had a good year. They finished with a 5-5-1 dual match record. The team took fifth in the District Tourney and eight wrestlers qualified for Regionals. Leading the team this year were senior co-captains Chad Joyce and Fred Larsen, both of whom advanced to Regionals with Larsen tak-- ing the district championship in the 126-pound weight class.

Larsen was unable to participate, however, because of an injured shoulder. The matmen faced many obstacles in their battle to the all-important end-of- the-season tournaments, but consider- ing all things, the grapplers had a suc- cessful season.

The state meet took place in Virginia Beach at Woodbridge High School. The team was really pleased with their accomplishments. ‘‘We had a really good year. We didn’t win as many meets as we would have liked to, but we ended up third in districts.” Coach Poindexter was glad she had taken the team through another year, gaining not only valuable experience, but statewide recognition for her team.

The team won its first four games before suffering a big loss to Parry McCluer. Bouncing back after this first loss, the team defeated Natural Bridge and Parry McCluer to take the trophy in the annual Christmas Tournament. Seniors Pug Merchant and Troy Roane were named to the All-Tournament Team as a result of their outstanding performances. The team won four more games before losing a very close game to Lord Botetourt. However, it contin- ued its winning ways through the next six games.

Senior Troy Roane summed up his feelings by saying, ‘We ended up with an 18-4 record, which was tied with the school's best, but one game kept us from going further.” Head Coach “Chick’’ Crawford had only praise for his assistant coach, Paul Leonhard. He com- mented, ‘‘Coach Leonhard contri- buted more to the basketball pro- gram than anyone will know; he’s most knowledgeable, truly a gentle- man, a student of the game, and a most dedicated assistant coach: he really held the team together.” Two of the team’s seniors, Pug Merchant and Troy Roane, were chosen for the All-Region team. Ours was the only school in the dis- trict to have two players on the All- Region team. Senior Darrell Plogger, team cap- tain, expressed his feelings by say- ing, ‘We had a real good year and the coaches deserve a lot of credit.” Senior Ed Shaffer stated, ‘We had about the best season record-wise that we've ever had at Lexington. It's sad that one bad night could end such a good season.” Going for a lay-up, senior Pug Merchant flies through the air to score another 2 against William Byrd. 62 boys’ varsity basketball Senior Troy Roane is head and shoul- ders above everyone else as he goes for the hoop against William Byrd.

The girls’ volleyball team worked hard, even though the season wasn't very successful. The team practiced morning, noon, and night. When asked how she felt about the practice sched- ule, senior co-captain Tammy Mer- chant replied, ‘The practice schedule was very good for the team. We need- ed all the practice we could get. I really didn't mind the morning practices, only the night practices.”’ The other co-captain, junior Steph- anie Shorter, talked about team spirit. “The team spirit was overwhelming. The team members were fantastic; so were the home crowds.” The inexperienced team had eleven new members and only two returning letterwomen, Merchant and Shorter.

Also, the experience and leadership of co-captains Tammy Merchant and Stephanie Shorter helped a lot of youn- ger players develop the skills.’ What kind of team does Coach Sten- zel expect next year? The forecast is optimistic. “Next year’s team should produce a much better record because we will have 11] returning players.” The team put a great deal of effort into their sport, and even though they worked morning, noon, and night, it was worth it because they appreciated their teammates and themselves.

Seven returning lettermen, six of whom were seniors, led the team. New talent, however, was also evident. Senior Pug Merchant, on the team for the first time, pitched a two-hitter in the 18-2 win over William Byrd. Merchant's pitching talent, along with that of veteran pitcher senior Dar- rell Plogger, gave the school one of the best pitching squads in the District.

Junior Skeet Muti- spaugh was named low medalist for the tournament. The team then advanced to Regionals where it placed sixth. MP Coach Crawford remarked, “It was a little disappointing since we'd beaten some of the teams in previous games. There were outstanding performances by all players though.” The team had suffered a loss of many seniors from last year but proved them- selves to be a strong team. Junior Skeet Mutispaugh said, “I feel like we sur- prised a lot of people when we took the tournament over heavily favored Bote- tourt.

The team was led by captain Jimmy Crowder, who was referred to as the ‘iron man on the team’’ by Coach Brown. When asked about the sea- son, Crowder said, ‘During the regu- lar season, people would have thought we were the worst team in the district, but in the district meet we Opponent Floyd Co. _2.

Coach Brown got the athletes serious and we had some good turnouts and finished third.’ According to Coach Brown, Crowder's attitude helped him do so well. Coach Brown said the team had a rocky start, but near the end, they got very serious. The team practiced at VMI due to the poor conditions of the high school track. In the Blue Ridge District, senior Troy Roane jumped 6'6, which was a district record, and sophomore Mike Colbert also had a ‘ district record in the 100 meter race. Colbert commented, “I did alright. The team goofed off too much at the beginning of the season, but did well toward the end of the year.” According to Coach Brown, “The season's goal was to perform in a dis- trict meet, and whatever after that was extra.’ The team finished third in the district and fifth in the region.

Coach June Mays said, “A negative attitude for participation had a lot to do with the poor facilities and what there was to work with but even though our weakest part was in depth, the girls’ team was strong in distance and sprints.” Coach Mays explained how the team had to practice at V.M.I. every- day.

The club, consisting of Lexington and Buena Vista students, departed early on a Friday afternoon with high hopes of a victory. These hopes were re- warded. The J.V. team, made up of mostly underclassmen, achieved a 3-1 record for the weekend and second place in the tournament. Sophomores Jonathan Larsen, Christopher Pee- bles, and David Jones were named honorable mention candidates.

Hung-Up On Homework Often, when asked what they like most about school, students reply “lunch,” or ‘pep squad,” or ‘'soc hops.” Algebra and P.E. are not frequently included in the list of favorites. Even though some students attend classes groaning in agony or spending the entire period watching the minute hand craw! around on their watches, willing it to go faster, no student can deny the benefits of acquiring a good education. Teachers and faculty reach out all during the year to help guide and teach students skills in various subjects that they can later apply to college, a job, or just life itself. Through all the frustrations of teaching and the agony of going to school, students and teachers managed to reach out and teach each other something new. academic divider 79 Math Communications iia | ‘Although classes were large, the caliber of students was better and it was an enjoyable year,’ Mrs. Marion Min- nix positively stated. In February, the eighth grade Algebra students took a state-wide math test, and won a trophy. The students were first in a region that included eight counties. Eighth grader John Abraham ‘“Abe”’ Paul ranked in the top twenty-five in the state and first in the region. When asked about his achievement, Abe said, ‘I could have done better; I made some stupid mis- takes on one part. I’m proud, though.” The combined scores of Abe, Alex Sessions, Elizabeth Mason, Diane Zybko, and Karee Smith won the first place award. ‘Knowing that the eighth graders will be leaving the high school soon, we are delighted to have won this trophy in our last year of competition,” commented Mrs. Minnix.

The phys- ical science students studied the met- ric system, simple machines, moving bodies, the atom, nuclear energy, so- lutions, and sound. Due to the budget cuts, the science students did not take any field trips but each year the stu- dents are assigned special projects which relate to physical science. Mrs. Rose commented, ‘Usually every year I see some improvement in the projects.’’ These special projects are displayed in the classroom, and at a Seniors Maria Hunsicker and Cordell Sen- sabaugh work carefully on a lab assignment in chemistry class. forum meeting, where parents can see them. Mrs. Rose said that “‘a lot of parents enjoyed seeing the projects.” The earth science students took field trips to the VMI planetarium, the Natural Bridge, and the Natural Bridge Caverns. The students’ pro- jects included a rock collection and a science journal of newspaper clip- pings.

Students can sometimes catch a whiff of tantalizing aromas and hear the whirr of strange machines amid the clatter of metal ob- jects. For most students, the Home Eco- nomics Department is a sweet-smelling mystery. One might have sampled the delicious foods they make and seen some of the clothes modeled by a Home Ec. student, but what is Home Ec? Really? Most of us probably wouldn't know. Home Economics teaches a student how to handle some of the economic FB “il problems in life. It is a strictly class- related course; students do not offer their goods for sale. In the first year, the class deals basi- cally with nutrition, and the second year with consumer problems. The sweetest class in the school is also the best place to learn how to han- dle life's economic problems confi- dently. Instructor, Mrs. Lois Dunlap concluded, ‘“‘No other career contri- butes more to the quality and enjoy- ment of life than does homemaking.” Cynthia Higgins’s face reflects her delight at the goodies available as she and sophomore Norma Crawford fill their plates. gees = Mrs. Lois Dunlap shows junior Sharon Hayslett the proper way to cut a coffee cake.

Sophomores and juniors who went in the morning and seniors who went in the afternoon were offered seven dif- ferent programs: agricultral machinery, auto body repair, building trades, drafting, electronics, power mechan- ics, and Industrial Cooperative Train- ing (ICT). As junior Clinton Staton comment- ed, ‘In ICT there wasn’t a lot of difficult work to do, but the most important fac- tor is that ICT trains the student for a job and also prepares him for personal interviews.” UL ‘In auto mechanics we rebuild mo- tors for cars and trucks that are worn out or not in good condition,” ex- plained junior Tim Ramsey. An eighth program, Occupational Foods, moved to Vo-Tech after Easter break. As junior Marie Mook ex- pressed, ‘The reason we moved was because of larger, better, and more equipment. We can now do larger banquets for 150 to 300 people, where- as before we could cater only for 50 to 80 people.” This year more girls than ever took advantage of the training offered at Vo- Tech, perhaps proving the theory that more and more women are invading the ‘‘male” work arena. | _ Wik Cooperation is the key word in occupa- tional foods for juniors Marie Mook and Lisa Hostetter.

During the year, students in the In- dustrial Arts classes made paper towel holders, candle holders, picture frames, and pictures for the frames from wood. Also created were plaster owls and eagles, leather wristbands, and keyrings, and metal house mark- ers, to mention a few of the many pro- jects.

This year it was the Concert Band's performance of Grade V Lit- erature at Festival. Sure, they've got- ten the superior I rating before... but six of them from every judge? Truly a feat to be proud of. The Concert Band also was very regular. They intro- duced the new ninth graders into their sophisticated band and taught them how to march. Then it was off the football field and into the concert hall. The band trip was to Buckroe Beach in Newport News where band members toured all sorts of Civil War related sites and played at the beach. When asked about the overall year of the band, Sec-Treas. Pam Ziegler re- plied, “The band started out kind of shakey but we reached a high at festi- val.” The concert band cannot take all the credit for its musical accomplish- ments; the concert choir also per- formed exceptionally well. Choir ac- companist Theresa Zybko stated, “It was a very slow start, but they came on real strong at the end.” Also for the first time, the choir participated in an exchange trip. The exchange was with a choir from Phoenixville, Penn- sylvania. The reaction was over- whelming as confirmed by sopho- more Joanne Ziegler, ‘Everyone on the trip had a really good time. We made a lot of new friends and hope- fully we'll see them again someday.”’ Eighth graders Rachel Evans and Jen- nifer Jay concentrate on playing their flutes during the Christmas Concert.

Freshman Rod- ney Clark commented, ‘The museum was really neat. Anyone who hasn't seen it should go.” The department had several demon- strations of various art techniques. Visit- ing area artists shared their knowledge of basketry, ceramics, and weaving. There was even a painting workshop funded by the Virginia Museum. Sev- eral art students attended the workshop which was held in the library. An excit- ing workshop was held at JMU which used more modern artistic tools and techniques such as airbrush, Batik, and photo screening. Senior Jennifer Wise commented that “The airbrush was really interesting. I would love to work with it more.” Paper, pencil and pen ink were the art club's tools of success. Thirteen Ms. Mae Cupp, an area basketry artist, demonstrates different techniques to Art Il classes. 92 art department quality pen ink drawings of beautiful homes in the Rockbridge and Lexing- ton areas were put into the annual club calendar which was sold to raise money for a field trip in the spring. The club made over $1,000 selling calendars. It also sold kisses. No, no one got mono; these were little Hershey kisses with a love note attached. The selling of the kisses netted the club an extra $200. Club members had to decide where they wanted to go on their annual field trip - New York or Washington, D.C. Washington was selected because it was less expensive, therefore allowing the club to stay longer. The time spent in D.C. was totally devoted to the arts. Members toured all the art galleries and museums on the Mall including the National Gallery of Art, Hirshorn, the Smithsonian, and the Air Space Mu- seum. On the second day members vis- ited the National Zoo and took a tour of the National Cathedral. Senior David Fitch commented, “It was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever seen, even though my feet were killing me at that time.” Freshman Kristi Elliott Art I student is successful in her attempt to master the art of throwing a pot on the wheel.

This method of communicating feelings has been used for many cen- turies. The English teachers always try to put in a variety of studies in their cur- riculum for the year, including and emphasizing the poetry units. From eighth grade all the way up to the twelfth grade, different styles and po- ets were studied as well as written. Two of Mrs. Louise Marshall’s eighth grade classes put their efforts together in a mini-magazine that they called ‘‘Figures.’’ Most of the other English classes submitted their poetry to the school's literary magazine ‘'Re- flections. Mr. Denny Clark and Mrs. Wanda Leadbetter especially encour- aged their students to work towards getting their works published in the magazine Ms. Carter Drake’s Ad- W 7 vanced Composition students were putting together. Every year her class is in charge of planning, designing, editing, and publishing “Reflections.” Shakespeare was not only studied as a poet but as a playwright. The ninth graders went, as they do every year, to see Romeo and Juliet. As usual there were tears and chuckles throughout the course of the movie. The seniors, having seen Romeo and Juliet three years ago, saw Shakespeare’s Macbeth instead. ‘'It was gory in places but for the most part it was excellent,’ said senior An- drea Larue. The department concentrated on educating the students in the English language and literature. This goal seems to be reached every year as more students proceed up a grade level, reaching out to touch someone as they learn.

In December, the students put on a saturnalian banquet where they wore togas and ate Roman food. The first year Latin students, di- rected by eighth grader Sarah Phemis- ter, acted in an adaption of a play by Plautus. In March, nineteen Latin students took the National Latin Exam, and fif- teen of them won awards. Also in March, the Discipuli Laudandi went to the Virginia Museum for a symposium on the Roman Empire. In the spring, the second year Latin students had a guest speaker, Mr. Pat- rick Ottoway, a British archaeologist, who spoke to them about Roman Bri- tain. In May, along with the French stu- dents, the Latin students participated in a foreign language field day. Students participated in soccer, chariot races, the discus, the three-legged races, and the shotput. The Latin Club was responsible for the Saturnalian Banquet and the For- eign Language Field Day. The club also silk-screened t-shirts designed by junior Trey Lowsley for the field day with the help of the art department. Ms. Drake commented, “All of these activi- ties were enthuisiastically supported by the Latin students. I believe the stu- dents had a good time while they were learning.” The foreign language field day, ori- ginally scheduled to involve all three area high schools, was rained out and re-scheduled for just our students. A warm Wednesday afternoon hosted the much anticipated event. There was plenty of food, a Tour de France bicy- cle race around the track, foot races, sack and chariot races. Ms. Carter Drake explained the history of this par- ticular field day. “The Latin Club be- gan the field day in 1976 celebrating Rome's birthday.’’ The fun and festivi- ties were open to all students and their families, even those not involved in for- eign languages.

This change left the position of department head open to Mrs. Nanalou Sauder. Coach Claude Crawford joined the Social Studies faculty this year, teaching Sociology and Government. The Model U.N. debate group, a club of the Social Studies department, expanded greatly under sponsor Mrs. Beverly Cappeto. The team partici- pated in clinics and a debate at Rock- bridge High School. They were pre- sent at the Model U.N. Security Coun- cil debate at Virginia Military Institute in March. The team included seniors Julie Blankenship, Scott Berger, Steve Glenn, and Bill Newbolt; sophomore Julie Lawhorne; and freshman Andy Herrick. Senior Scott Berger com- mented, ‘‘Model U.N. is a great learn- ing experience for the people who are able to participate. I feel Coach Cappeto has taught us a lot about world affairs and has helped me to put my knowledge to its most effective use.” The senior government classes were given the opportunity to be in- volved in Mock trials at Washington and Lee Law School. The students that attended these trials acted as ju- rors and were given something of an overview as to what their duties are as citizens who might be called for jury duty. Senior John Dixon said, ‘This experience has taught me a lot about the problems faced by the legal sys- tem and my responsibility as a citi- zen.” Another year has passed and junior and senior classes have once again survived Social Studies term papers and demonstrated survival the face that most of them were properly pre- pared by their social studies teachers. The Government and U.S. History teachers now roar; ‘Bring on the un- derclassmen. They can't get out of here until they get by us first.” Eighth graders Brent Faulkner, Lisa Stew- art, and Fred Conner participate in a mock trial in Mrs. Cappetto’s social studies class.

Senior Kim Hall commented, ‘Most people in Clerk II have jobs that train you for working in the business job market today. I really enjoy taking Clerk.” The faculty has remained the same for quite some time, with a lot of en- thusiasm from the students participat- ing in the business programs. Mrs. Barbara Winfrey said, ‘‘Office careers are one of the top three job opportu- nities in the year 1983. Mrs. Nellie Reynolds, the Business Department Chairman, seems to be pleased with ta Ww the increased enrollment of the busi- ness classes. There are four classes of Typing | which teach the use and operation of a typewriter. Also there are three classes of General Business consisting of learning basic business for every- day life. Steno I is two class periods long. The first hour is devoted to learning and writing shorthand; the second hour is devoted to other units of record keeping, typing, filing, and using business machines. Clerk I con- sists of typewriting, filing and working on class machines. Steno II and Clerk II are the advanced courses of the business department. Clerk II deals mainly with figures and typing, while Steno II deals with words and tran- scription, but they are basically the same. There are 20 Seniors involved in the Cooperative Office Education (C.O.E.) this year. They have jobs ranging from cashiers to typists. At the end of the year of there is a C.O.E. dinner where the students entertain their employers and supervisors. Stu- dents also receive certificates of ap- preciation. The business classes have taken several field trips this year - to the WAL and V.M.I. Computer Centers, and the W L Law School Word Pro- cessor - to update the students’ knowl- edge of the business world. Senior Pam Brown practices taking notes by shorthand in Steno I while Mrs. Joan Whitesell continues to dictate. Senior Chris Perry concentrates on hitting cor- rect keys in Typing I while junior Kelly Berry appears to have lost her place.

The year was kicked off outdoors, getting in shape by running track in preparation for the Physical Fitness tests. Once the tests were completed, the sport of flag football was initiated. Other sports engaged in included murder ball, basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball. Th e teachers had ori- ginally planned to teach the art of fencing, however, the equipment could not be obtained. Eighth grader Lise Robinson, who recently moved here from California commented that, “P.E. is a lot differ- ent here in Virginia than in California. We didn't have a gym and so we had P.E. outside all year ‘round. Of course it never snowed or even got too cold that we couldn't go outside.” P.E. provides students with an op- portunity to remain active and to ob- serve each individual's capabilities. Bombarding each other with balls is just one of the many fun games students play in PE. 102 physical education Striding in from the outfield, freshmen Roy Conner, Mike McCormick, and Charles Kirkpat- rick anticipate all the homeruns they will score.

Person lo Person School would be just an empty, lonely shell if it were not for the most important element it contains - people. The students and faculty make it alive and vibrant. Their talents, athletic abilities, and academic excellence create an atmosphere where students can thrive and mature. The spirit and enthusiasm students show for each other at football games, variety shows and art shows are the acts of people reaching out to fill what would have been an empty shell with life.

The popular band consists of four members: Tommy Grim, lead Juitarist; Tony Fisher, rhythm guitar- st; Peter Banta, base guitarist; and Teddy Rivkin, drummer. Many of these Friday nights the main feature is the special guest drummer. Looking at him and listen- ng to his music, you would never guess that he’s not a regular member. de wears all black like the rest of the oand and his drumming is truly up to oar with the rest of the band's play- ng. Richard Grim, yes, our own mild- nannered Richard, is the guest drum- ner in his brother Tommy’s band nhen the ‘‘Monarchs’’ come to Lex- ngton from their home in Charlottes- ville. Rich doesn’t travel with the band ind has only practiced a very few imes with them. though he does prac- ice on his own. Richard likes the kind of music the oand plays. He started listening to the oand in the summer of 1980 when a slassmate found out that Richard had 1ever seen his own brother's band. Xichard loved the music of the then hree member band. Less than half a rear later he was playing at a party as 1 guest for the first time. _ Richard compliments the band and heir accomplishments proudly. ‘They're getting better through the Keeping the beat for one of the ‘Monarchs lively songs, Richard is featured as the guest drummer at the “Palms Opera House.” years,’ he said smiling his shy grin. “Tommy can play right off a record,’’ Richard boasts of his brother. Rich seems pleased that his brother got him started in music. Tommy's friends used to leave his drumset in the basement and Richard would play it for hours. Then he got his own set and played in school bands. Richard would like to either play in a band regularly or start his own in the near future. Talking about his own playing, Rich is modest and comments quietly, ‘I'm a different style drummer than Teddy. Drummers that influence me are the late great Keith Moon who used to play for The Who, ’ Kenny Jones, “Who's” drummer now, and Charlie Watts from the ‘‘Rolling Stones.” When he’s on the stage Richard mainly thinks about the music, not the rowdie dancing crowds. “'l try not to stay nervous.’ Richard seems to really enjoy playing in the band and does it without pay. He smiles fondly think- ing of the bright lights, noisy crowd, the screaming amplifiers, and the beat he keeps for the band. Ironically his casual coment is, “It calms you down.” me seniors ]]] Walking, aiting, And Walkmen At the ungodly hour of 4:00 A.M. the majority of seniors boarded buses for the government field trip to Washing- ton, D.C, The end of the four and one-half- hour ride brought the seniors to their first destination: Scholl's Cafeteria, for breakfast. Senior Bill Newbolt’s reac- tion was that he found “the whole thing distasteful.” After breakfast came the tour of the Capitol Building. A very severe securi- ty check was run at both the Capitol Building and Supreme Court Building before seniors were granted a tour of each. After the governmental sight-seeing had been completed, it was time for Braving the cold winds, seniors Jamie Mays, Matt Fogo, and Anne Herring sit on the steps near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 112 senior trip lunch and two and one-half hours of free time on the Mall for exploring the Smithsonian. The buses loaded once again, this time for Arlington Cemetery to see the changing of the guard. The final step was Fair Oaks Mall for supper and last minute shopping. At 8:15 P.M., the seniors, exhausted from a strenuous day, boarded the buses once again, this time for home. At 11:00 P.M. they arrived back home. Ed Shaffer, who had never been to D.C. before, had this reaction to the trip, “It was a lot of fun to go for the first time because I'd heard so much about it. Getting to see it with friends made it all the better.” As they listen to their Walkman, seniors Mack McCrowell and Andy McThenia are in another world as they endure the long bus ride home. ““No Picnicking in Cemetery’? Who'd want to eat in a cemetery?” thought some of the seniors who saw this sign at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. i 3 cose The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier holds the seniors entranced with its precision drill.

The mild outbreaks of senioritis are few and far between . . at least in school they are. When at last released from the confines of school walls, there is a rampant ten- dency to “break loose.’’ Weekends are when the greatest cases of ‘'sen- ioritis’ are reported. Clad in baggy jeans, blue-jean jackets, (with up- turned collars and studded with var- ious buttons), or in letter jackets and hats, they descend upon the town. Lloyd's is besieged with ‘video man- iacs’’ and Spanky's is filled with senior Atter Hours specimens both inside and out, espe- cially in the parking lot. A party is the ultimate highlight of a senior’s weekend (when there is one) and one can expect to see every vari- ety of a senior imaginable at an open party (is there any other kind?). Those who possess a treasured ID, 18 year olds, or other clever indivi- duals who have managed to acquire a pre-mature one, visit The White Col- umn Inn, The Opera House, or the Cockpit to listen and dance to the Monarchs, Ready Teds, Convertibles and many other popular bands. The upcoming change in the legal drink- ing age from 18 to 19, will exclude seniors from these favorite ‘‘after Jamie Elisa Mays Cynthia Ann McDaniel Beth Ann McGee Edwin Lewis McKemy Aaron Paul Merchant Alvin O'Neal Merchant Tammy Jo Merchant Veda Elizabeth Monroe hours’’ places and is not an anxiously awaited change. Especially for those seniors who turn 18 a few days after the resolution’s July lst date. By the time most classes reach the twelfth grade they have grown ex- tremely close, the same is true with this year's senior class. Their enjoy- ment in each other’s company is cbvi- ous (most often too loudly) to other students and to the community. It is definitely a possibility that “‘after hours’’ will never have quite the same meaning, after this year’s ‘after hours’’ connoisseurs have graduated. Yvonne Loraine McCormack Oscar Mack McCrowell III Andrew Wolfe McThenia III Quinton Edward Merchant seniors 117 Beached, Burned Bodies The class of 83 spent the day before prom at Shenandoah Acres. There was lots of food, fun, sun and fellow- ship. Mr. Paul Leonhard and Mr. Jack Donald drove two of the three buses down with very nervous students. The students were nervous with two teach- ers behind the wheels of the big bus- es. As soon as the buses arrived the students spread out. Mr. Leonhard, Mr. Donald and Ms. Mary Lou Wil- liams spent the morning cooking hot dogs, and hamburgers. There was plenty of food and drinks to go around for seconds, thirds and so on. Some students braved the chilly water while others sunbathed. Many guys played with their lacrosse sticks or frisbees on the sand to build up their appetites. The famous tower with two cables in the middle of the lake, two slides, two diving boards, were some of the many attractions in the water. Seniors Kim Hall and Donna VanNess said, ‘The Senior picnic was really a good picnic. The best thing was that at the picnic we had a fun time together with our classmates.”’ While many Seniors ate and caught some rays, thoughts of their Senior Prom the next night were running through their heads. Mrs. Barbara Winfrey commented, “It was a wonderful picnic. A family was vacationing there that day and they wanted to know where such a large, lovely group was from. It was just good fun.” Hamming it up while relaxing are Andy McThenia, Richard Grim, and Jai Marshall.

However, seniors Andy McThenia and Kitty Contreras proved otherwise. They were given the honor of being chosen to be guest speakers at the W L Law School on March 15, for about two hours in the morning. The major purpose of their invitation was to inform the law students of what high school and “teenage life” is all about these days. A lot of thought pro- voking questions were asked, such as, ‘How would you feel about having a private place all of your own that no one could look into, not even authority figures?”’ Kitty commented that, ‘Going to the Law School was an experience to re- member! At first Andy and I were un- sure of ourselves and our presentation, however once the ice was broken, we were very confident.” The setting wasn’t your usual class- room scene, which made things a lot more comforting. Everyone sat around a large table, as if it were a social gath- ering. To emphasize this impression, two dozen doughnuts were included, compliments of W L! “TI enjoyed talking with the students and expressing my opinions freely. | hope other students will participate in this program in the future,’ said Andy.

When someone accuses senior Me- lissa Lamont of just fiddlin’ around, she gives them no excuses or arguments. But fiddlin' around in Missy’s case means that she is nothing less than a talented, accomplished violinist. Missy has been playing first chair, first violin in the Rockbridge Youth Or- chestra since her sophomore year. She also plays second chair, first violin in the Rockbridge Community Orchestra. During the summer between her sophomore and junior years, instead of sitting around the pool all day, Missy attended Interlocken International Mu- sic Camp in Michigan. Interlocken is considered one of the finest music camps in the country. Missy comment- ed ‘Many of the campers had played their particular instrument for over ten years. Coming from Lexington with only six years experience, I felt really lucky to be there.” Missy's primary instrument is, of course, the violin, but she recently took first chair All-State Band on string bass. She has also been honored by her ac- ceptance to the music department at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pitts- burgh. Missy commented, ‘Music has be- come a major part of my life. I spend the time practicing because I love it.” Watching her big brother wrestle is lots of fun for little Leslie Larson. She’s enjoying the match with seniors Ann Winfree and Tabb Osborne. seniors 123 The gift of a pen set from his Calculus class brings a smile to Mr. Charles Lauck’s face and to Theresa Zybko, Fred Larsen and Cordell Sensabaugh, members of the class. The Last Hurrah The bittersweet time of graduation was pre-empted this year by the all- out fun of Senior Night. This is a time when seniors get in their final kicks at teachers and faculty as well as each other. Many awards, scholarships, and honors were awarded, and thunder- ing applause followed each senior up to the stage where he or she received his her honor in front of proud family and fellow classmates. But the height of the evening, as usual, was the en- tertainment segment. The Seniors devised various acts in- 124 senior night cluding David Fitch as Diana Ross, with Jamie Mays and Stacy Dickerson as his Supremes, and the outrageous showmanship of the band “Mirrors.”’ The Senior Will and Testament was read, bequeathing various under- classmen with notorious senior habits and characteristics. The slide show, put together by photographers Alicia Buchanan, John Dixon, and Steve Glenn highlighted the evening. Arms about each other, seniors watched as slide after slide clicked by the memories of their last year together. Accompanied by Paul Eyes hidden by the reflecting sun glasses they get their name from, the “air’’ band ‘'Mir- rors’ performs to a Car's tune. Simon's “Scarborough Fair’’ and ‘Hello Darkness,’’ the pictures brought back the memories of the cold Senior trip to D. C., and the dunking Mr. Leonhard got at the Sen- ior Picnic. Tears and laughter min- gled as the last slide faded into dark- ness. Senior choir members ended the nostalgic evening with “A Closing Prayer.” So the high school years of the sen- iors faded away into yesterday, leav- ing them to look forward to the adven- tures life holds for them. Reuniting to perform the same piece they performed at the variety show, Robert Rorrer, Maria Hunsicker and Missy Lamont impress the audience with the song, ‘Dust in the Wind.” “And I wanta thank everybody for making me a big, big star,” says Diana Ross, alias Da- vid Fitch, with his “Supremes,”’ Jamie Mays and Stacy Dickerson. Having just received his own set of “little pro” golf clubs, Mr. Paul Leonhard wastes no time in practicing his swing. Mdddddiis Belting out the song ‘I Got Just What I Need- ed,” while playing his tennis racquet guitar, is lead singer of the band “Mirrors,’’ Ed Shaffer.

Having decided upon what size cap and gown and what style graduation announcements to get, senior Pepper Lawson fills in the proper forms.

Head in the clouds as usual, senior Pam Ziegler struggles to come back to earth during first period. “Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day, every- body's beautiful in their own way,” That quote is from the song ‘‘Everyth- ing is Beautiful,’’ and it is a true expres- sion, just like different people express beauty in their own way. Senior Ami Settle expresses her idea of true beauty through dancing. Ami started dancing in tenth grade, later than most dancers, when she began taking modern dance lessons from Mrs. Carol Kirgis. In her junior year, Ami started ballet with Mrs. Sherri Lute. She began at the first level of ballet, but because of her ability she was promot- ed to third year ballet. This year Ami has added jazz to her repertoire. She also went on pointe this year, after one year in ballet when most students aren't allowed on pointe until Proving her abilities lie not only in dancing but in studies as well, senior Ami Settle finishes her homework. they've had four years in training. Ami has a very full schedule this year. Along with school activities and her studies, she finds time to take some kind of dance training four times a week. Ami would like to attend college where she may major in journalism and minor in dance. She says that she “‘likes classes better than performing.’ But anyone who witnessed her perfor- mance in “Didi and Aenaes”’ or her recitals would have trouble believing this statement. Ami admits that since “I started late I get intimidated by all the young danc- ers who are so good.”’ Those who have watched Ami dance would tell her there is no need to be intimidated, be- cause Ami dances the beauty she ex- presses is a delight to watch and envy. seniors 129 In the beginning there were eighth ” 7 graders-there are no seniors-and who knows what's to come. The class of 1983's graduation was by far, the best graduation yet. The speakers were the Reverend Phillip Hunsicker, Fred Larsen-class President, Maria Hunsicker-salutatori- an, and Theresa Zybko-valedictorian. Graduation took place in Cameron Hall and was a night of memories and of depression. Senior Jennifer Batty commented, “The biggest ordeal was trying to place the cap flat on your head and trying to not look like the “Flying Nun”. In spite of the dampness outside, the rain failed to dampen the seniors’ spir- its.

Led by President Jon Mamon, Vice- Presid ent Margaret Bolen and Secre- tary-Treasurer Stacey Potter, the class sponsored a few money-making activi- ties in preparation for the Prom. The cheese sale was a big blast. The juniors raised over $1800 through hard work and a lot of effort. The juniors then hosted the annual Christmas Dance. Although there was not a theme, or many decorations, ev- eryone who participated seemed to have had an enjoyable evening. Junior Robin Clark exclaimed, ‘Even though the funds were limited, it was a nice dance especially when we noticed that it had begun to snow!”’ ah 4 ee te A WMCP PRE BL™D ye iB RSG OBESE AE CO!

Colette has a job that any equestrian would love, she works at Mr. Pete Whitlock’s Morgan stable, everyday after school. Mr. Whitlock boards Colette’s horse, ‘General Lee,’ and she works to pay for his board. Her job is to break, train and show horses. Colette has been riding horses since she was three and she began showing horses at the age of seven. Her special- ty has been showing Saddlebreds until recently when she started showing Morgans. ‘General Lee” is a 5-gaited Sadd- lebred which Colette trained. She has taken him to the Roanoke Valley Horse Shows. ‘General Lee’ won second place in the American Saddle Horse Association of Virginia in the 5-gaited Division in 1982. Colette trained another Saddlebred named “Chief of Shenandoah’’. He won first at the Virginia State 4-H Show in the Halter Division in 1978. Colette concluded, “'I feel that I have sacrificed a good deal of my social life so that I can put more time and money into showing my horses, but truthfully, I don't think that I would have it any other way!”’ Junior Colette VanName shows her riding abilities while showing a horse in an outdoor horse show. di OREM OLY Raymond Leadbetter Paul Loggins Darryle Long Kenneth Long Lisa Loudermilk Judy Lowery Trey Lowsley Jon Mamon Karen McCormick Patricia McDaniel Brownie McGee Pamela Merchant Brenda Miller Sonjay Mistry Norman Mohler Marie Mook Kevin Morris David Mutispaugh EW, Waiting for classes to resume, junior Barton Baisley gets out of the discussions surrounding him. 7 7) Realizing her mistake before it was too late, junior Jolena Carmichael makes her corrections. juniors 137 138 juniors Marty Newcomb Darlene Nicholas Alexia Pantaze Christine Paxton Tia Poindexter Stacey Potter Tim Ramsey Robbie Randolph Sid Ray Charles Reynolds Emily Scott Stephanie Shorter Debbie Smith Mark Smith Tim Smith Mike Steele Brian Stumff Joey Swink Vicki Swisher George Tehan Janet Trussel Colette VanName Nicky Vess Sue Vess Norma Vest Eric Walker James Walls Charles Webb Jeff White Lori Whitten Mike Williams Scott Williams Bobbi Jo Woods Jeff Woods Liza Woods WK QU QE, pail ra Zz, hi NOT PICTURED Debbie Brads Jimmy Rowsey Gregory Camden Darrell Sorrells Jolena Carmichael — Clifford Staton David Cash Clinton Staton Jennifer Chittum Paul Walker Steve Emore It Isn't All Play And No Work Did you ever wonder what the Ju- nior Class was up to?

Not dress schemes, but the three girls run the sophomore class together. Seeing them walking down the hall you would never guess the three had even that in common. President Dawn Trandal is character- ised by her preppiness and friendili- ness. Vice-President and ‘Valley Girl’ Cheryl Sherburne is also friendly, but preppy she is not. Her many mini-skirts point this out. Secretary-Treasurer Sarah Sessoms’ witty friendliness is known to most everyone and her fash- ionable clothes are always in vogue. The girls seem proud to head the sophomore class. They weren't dis- couraged by their money situation but placed emphasis on the fact that their class is full of hard workers.

Fifteen year old Maria has been a mem- ber of the Erchul family ever since. Sharing such interests as health food, art, running, nature and the outdoors, the girls also have individual interests. 142 sophomores Debbie plays the viola, rides horses, and likes art and sketching. Maria loves to meet new people, and especially en- joys helping them. In school, both girls are interested in cross country running and the FCA. According to Maria, it’s a lot of fun being in clubs and organizations with Debbie. Even though Maria and Deb- bie are in the same classes, they do not do their homework together.

Sponsoring a Soc-Hop during foot- ball season proved profitable, and class president Rodney Clark commented, “Tt has been a pretty good year overall and we hope we will be able to make a large contribution to the school in the future.’ The class of 1986, like every other class that has gone before it, is already worried about having enough money to put on a good prom. Laura Sisler, class secretary-treasurer, believes, ‘We have a very good class and we have great promise for the future.’’ The freshmen classes of years past have al- ways had a great deal of enthusiasm and these freshmen are no different.

Doug got his job by hang- ing around the station which is owned by his brother. He actually began working there when he was about elev- en years old. Five years later, he’s still working. Doug feels that the job has helped him be “more self-confident.” When he first started working, Doug pumped gas and filled oil racks. His jobs now are still pretty much the same; he pumps gas, cleans up around the station, and washes cars. Doug works every day, approximate- ly 30 hours aweek, and enjoys working with the public. According to him, the best part of working at the station is the John Fix Kay Floyd Christopher Fontenot Andrew Foster Sandra Freeman Christie Friedman April Friski Robert Fulk Robert Garrison Michael George Kenneth Gibson Patricia Goehring Marcie Goodbar Tonya Hall Before the bell rings to end class, freshmen Mike George and Randy Potter work diligently to finish their Algebra. 148 freshmen people. He contends that “the best way to work with the public is to be nice and cooperative.” Doug says he’s content with his job.

It wasn't the first time she had been injured and probably wouldn't be the last, She had been lucky so far. Since starting her gymnastics career eight years ago, Ashton Cobb has only had three injuries, including her re- cent sprained ankle. The sprain came at a bad time, preventing Ashton from repeating her advancement to the State gym- nastics meet. Last year she went to States and was very disappointed that she wouldn't be going this year even after qualifying at the sectional meet. When she was only five years old, Ashton refused her mother’s sugges- tion to take ballet so she was put into a gymnastics class. Now, Ashton drives to Roanoke four times a week to practice with her teammates on the Roanoke Gymnastics Team and to take classes at the School of Gym- nastics Arts. Ashton carefully explained the levels of gymnasts. The classes go from ‘‘four’’ which is the lowest lev- el, to ‘‘elites,’’ the highest level. Ash- ton is a class “‘two’’ gymnast but is aspiring to be an elite, and later to train for the Olympics. For most peo- ple the Olympics is only a dream but for eighth grader Ashton Cobb it is a tangible goal. 2 OS tile Uy Waiting for the bell to summon him to class, 8th grader Jay Strong leans against his locker, watching the girls go by. “Dee-Dee-Defense,” urges JV cheerleader Becky Carter at an away football game.

Look how teeny-tiny they are! ‘We were never that small when we were their age.” “They must be getting smaller every year.’’ These are the comments made as the other students watch the swarm of eighth graders enter high school. From the lofty height of any grade oth- er than eighth grade, one is free to criticize. The poor eighth graders are the ones who don't have a class below them to pick on. As a student progresses from grade to grade, the right to criticism enlarges many times, along with a per- son's head, until by the time one be- comes a senior, he has the dreaded ‘Senioritis Syndrome”’. The amusement and tinge of amaze- ment with which older students regard eighth graders is passed down from previous generations of students. We can never believe that we were that small, that we joined every club or bought anything that was sold during lunch. But we did, and we were prob- ably worse. Without the ever-prese nt mass of the smallest, most mistreated class in the school, the rest of us wouldn't feel so big, so maybe eighth graders are good for something besides stuffing lockers.

This year flowers were sold for Homecoming, Valentine’s Day and Prom. As any stu- dent will tell you, it’s a nice surprise to receive a sweet-smelling carnation or two from your friends. In order to save the money needed for a trip to Panama City next year, AFS is planning an excursion to Kings Dominion in Richmond. Co-Presidents Lora Canfield and Steve Glenn were trying for a short-term exchange, but think that not going on one this year AFS - Front Row: Joy Campbell, Lorrie Kelly, Cecelia Philips, Janie Osborne, Dawn Faulkner.

Anyway, what could be more fun than spending an afternoon in an amuse- ment park? Sponsor Ms. Pat Randolph is also working hard. Once again the club would like to start an adult chapter. In order to go on foreign exchanges, the money the adult chapter makes must be sent to the head office in New York. Ms. Randolph commented, ‘We really do need the help of the parents to get things going again.” So next year when you see students walking around with carnations in their hands, don’t worry! It’s not the 60’s all over again; it's only those AFS mem- bers. id w All grade levels participated with the dis- tribution of AFS carnations as is proven by freshmen Yvonne Watkins and Jennifer Zoll- man.

The club consists of two students for each period of the day who are as- signed to the library to stamp and shelve books, sign passes, and other general work. It is a position of respon- sibility and trust. Mrs. Peggy Hays asserted, ‘There is no way that we could operate the li- brary without the LHS Library Club. They generously give up their time in order for the library to be open more and to give greater service to the stu- dents and teachers. This club gives more service to the school than any other club or organization connected with LHS.” Since this was to be Mrs. Hays’ first and last year as the librarian she ex- pressed enthusiastically, “I have espe- cially enjoyed being the librarian this year because of the variety of activities which come with a librarian’s day and being with students in a less stressful situation than the classroom.” Appropriately standing in front of the sign “Women in History,” two librarians famous in LHS history, Mrs. Peggy Hays and Mrs. Jean Price converse in the library. groups 167 168 groups FBLA - Front Row: Pam Brown, Lisa Bartal.

HERO simply means Home Economics Related Occupa- tions. The class caters for receptions, parties, and weddings. It also caters for banquets, two of which were held this spring; one for the Travelers Club, and the other for the Browns- burg Ruritans. HERO also took field trips. They went to the Regional Culinary Com- petition in Salem where members won 17 out of 25 places. There were four first-place winners in the class. Two of those winners were seniors Lisa Wood with salmon steaks and as- pic, and Willie Wilhelm with her Pate en Croute, which she described as ‘a ground-up meat base (mine was liver) wrapped in a bread base. It isn't hard to make and is used as an entree.” In State Competition Lisa and Willie both had second place awards for their meat entrees. Willie described the competitions and the judging procedures. ‘In the competitions the judges can taste any of the entries. They usually do taste the cakes, breads, and cookies, but not the meat entrees. The judges tear the entrees apart or poke at them. COE-Front Row; Kim Hall, Sherry Tyree.

Mrs. Vicki Chambers expressed her feelings about the move. “We are really pleased to have proper equip- ment that we need to train students for employment in food service relat- ed careers.” One thing is certain about the move: no longer will students here be able to enjoy the aromas of culinary cuisine drifting up the hallway from the Occupational Foods classes. We will miss them. groups 169 Displaying their great gymnastic ability, the basketball squad cheerleaders perform. Creating enthusiasm for a J.V. Basketball game, J.V. cheerleaders cheer on the team.

The varsity cheerleading squad was a double vision. There were split squads for split seasons. Squad “A” had the luxury of cheering inside at girls’ and boys’ basketball games while Squad “'B braved the cold weather at football season and later, wrestling. Split squads brought split opinions between cheerleaders and sponsors alike. Assistant sponsor Mrs. Pat Ran- dolph felt that the split squads gave more girls a chance to become cheer- leaders. When asked why she became a cheerleading sponsor, she replied, ‘Nobody else would take the job; they need two people.’’ Freshman Teri Mer- chant liked the idea of two squads, and she chose basketball. Teri's reason for this was that ‘‘Football season is too cold and Pug (her brother) is better at basketball than football and I'd rather cheer for him at that.’’ Senior Kim Hatcher said she considers cheerlead- ing a sport. When asked her feeling about split squads, Kim commented, “I don't like it. I think they should have one really good squad for girls’ basket- ball and football, and then have try- outs again for boys’ basketball and wrestling. If a girl can't make it because of grades for the first season, she shouldn't be able to try-out for the sec- ond season.” Whatever the reasons and opinions were for the split squads, spirit wasn’t split, it was doubled.

For the first time in its history, the Concert Choir took part in an ex- change trip. The choir from Phoenix- ville High School, Phoenixville, Penn- sylvania came to Lexington in April and our choir completed the ex- change by going to Phoenixville two weeks later. The exchange seemed jinxed from the start. The Phoenixville choir had bus trouble and was forced to stay in Fairfax for seven hours. Then, when our choir went to Pennsylvania (on the first really warm weekend of the year), the bus air-conditioning re- fused to work. This problem was only a minor setback, however. While in Pennsylvania, the choir visited Valley Forge and Philadel- phia. Senior Bill Newbolt commented, “We toured Independence Square, the Franklin Museum, Betsy Ross’ House, and we saw the Liberty Bell. The time we spent in Philadelphia alone was well worth the trip.”’ At the concert in Phoenixville, the choir performed a variety of works including selections from the Faure Requiem, a major work performed earlier in the year with the Washing- ton Lee Glee Club. Baritone Solo- ist, senior Rob Brittigan enthusically commented, ‘‘We really enjoyed per- forming in Phoenixville. The people were great and we had a good time.” On the return trip the choir visited the Amish Countryside, the Gettys- burg Battlefield, and Luray Caverns. Sophomore Sherry Farrow made the statement, “I had a great time and made a lot of new friends. I thought it was a great experience. I hope the choir will be able to take more trips like this.” “The New 23rd” an arrangement of the 23rd Psalm is performed by Pops Choir members sen- ior Jennifer Wise and sophomore Karen Hostet- ter.

According to Interact Sponsor, Mr. Charles Lauck, ‘The Interact Club is a service club jointly sponsored by the high school and the Lexington Ro- tary Club. The club is structured on somewhat the same basis as the Ro- tary Club; the main purpose of Inter- act is to teach the idea of unselfish service to the school and communi- ty.’ Under the guidance of President Hugh Jarrard, Vice-President Jon Ma- mon, and Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Wood, the club opened up refresh- ment stands for football games and baseball games, and worked with the Christmas Basket Program, taking a great part in delivering baskets. Inter- act is also helping to support a child in India named Elias Seediabba. The club also plans to put out some flower planters for downtown merchants. Ju- nior George Tehan commented, '‘We have a lot of fun, but we also do a lot of work, such as packing and deliver- ing food and toys during Christmas.” Make Reaching Out OO ta) ea The Walki ng un 5 ; | tae we . rahe “oer ca Set Yellow | : es wy at rie es he: ie a Raa a as SO) ante i ah ei 1s iene E rea ote !

The- Crystal staff members are off to a good start by using their direc- tories. Keeping In lJouch As the year slowly, very slowly it seemed, wound down to the end, the usual end of year activities began. Reviewing for exams, cleaning out lockers of word collages and meaningful photos, and planning summer vacation were just a few of the activities. Seniors became tense with excitement at the thought of graduation and they busily planned senior night, graduation parties, and the big beach trip. Underclassmen prepared for the giant step forward and up, as they progressed toward the same fate the seniors left behind. But in the midst of all the turmoil the act of reaching out never ceased! The teachers that we would lose were given hugs and asked to keep in touch to reach out and let us know how they were, the same as the graduated seniors. The students kept close to each other through to the end. Then, we gently unclenched our fingers and relinquished last year, its glories and defeats, its wins and losses, its fun and sadness - with our eyes forward, we reached out for the new year.
