As you go from class to class, you seem to meet peo- ple whom you never forget. James Woo fits into this cate- gory. They sure broke the mold when they made James. Everyday, he greets his friends with jokes and laughs which always brightens a dull day. His friendly smile and in- nocent questions charm his friends and teachers alike. Mrs. Showalter knows this better than any other teacher. James baked her a batch of cookies out of pure care and consideration — yet others called him a pure ‘‘brown- nose.”’ For instance, Mr. Tan- A Fun Guy. The personality of junior James Woo makes him a guy hard to forget. 168 Juniors Fun Games With James ton, James’ sponsor and guide for the Legend, can always put in a good comment on his good manners and extreme kindness to all. His outward reach and respect for people of all ages surely sets James above many. Mrs. Bomboske, Monacan’s debate and foren- sics coach, realizes how well James can communicate with others, and she wants him to express himself further by ex- tending his debating skills which would allow him to be included on the 1984-’85 for- ensics team. James is a very special guy whom many of us will always remember and we will always look forward to his next laugh and smile in the Monacan hall- ways.

However, some of our most suc- cessful athletes come from others, poorly termed, minor sports. Two ex- amples are juniors Donna Ladner and Robyn Shaw, members of the girls gymnastics team. Donna, a native of Pennsylvania, began participating in gymnastics in the sixth grade and competition in the ninth. When her family moved to Ches- terfield two years ago, she became a member of the Olympic Club, a local gymnastics organization. According to Donna her favorite events are the bars and the vaults as one can tell by her performances. She placed fourth at the Regionals and sixteenth at the State Championship meet. Donna’s Dedicated Athletes goal is to attend North Carolina State University and major in mechanical en- gineering. Robyn, on the other hand, has been competing in gymnastics for four years. She says she became interest- ed in gymnastics when she saw alive competition while on summer vaca- tion. Robyn enjoys the floor exercise the most and she placed second at the Regionals. Gymnastics is not the only extra-curricular activity she par- ticipates in. She is also German Club Historian and a volunteer instructor at the YWCA. She, too, hopes to attend North Carolina State University. Both of these girls reflect the qual- ity and dedication of all Monacan ath- letes, in both major and minor sports, as they strive to improve themselves and their school. Juniors
