Expectations for the summer included the normal vacations and trips to the beach. Boy, were they wrong! l got an unexpected visit from my best friend Cindy this summer, commented Tonya Gibbs. Tonya did not think Cindy would be able to come all the way from California to visit. The summer was unex- pectedly dry. The heat of the summer was an ideal reason for a trip to the beach, a party, or a cookout. But many students toughed out the scorching heat in summer school. Sweat formed on foreheads while many spectators calmly watched school sports teams practice. The football team, girls' basketball team, and soccer team endured grueling practices during the summer. Other students participated in Ze.

Just as the fireworks went off in New York to celebrate the Statue of Liberty com- memoration, the summer fashions lit up New Kent. Jams were below the knees, and high tops in hot summer colors were the rage. Students expected the school year to consist of typi- cal rules, clubs, athletic accomplishments, people, and grades. A new year or What? brought about new additions. The new tardy policy seemed more strict, said Laura Norris. Fewer tardies resulted in harsher punishments. Students could always be found running through the halls yelling as they passed their friends, No, I can't talk now. l'll see you later. l've already got two tardies l The newest addition was the Art Club. This was New Kent's answer to cultural appreciation of the Fine Arts. The sports competitions really boosted morale. The The marching band performed at the Homecoming game during halftime. A much-practiced routine went smoothly preceding the Homecoming court presentations. The small size of the band did not hamper the band's energy and spirit. 4 Unpredictable activities. A. football team's win against West Point was surprising, the first in several years. 1973 was the last year that many yards had been posted. The soccer team's regional championship was also a shocker! That came as a surprise because the new coach, Mr. John Gu- lick, was able to lead the team to the regional championship. I never planned to see a 'B' on my Chemistry report card, Philip Brinkley ecstatically commented. Tina Olgers also boasted, My grades have been unpredictably good. Then there was always the cry of Oh no, Mom and Dad are going to kill me when they see this grade. Teachers have definitely been unpredictable. The many moods may have resulted from the pressure of the school's accredidatlon evalua- tion that caused some teacher burnout. The opposite sex is always unpredictable, Robert Tas groaned. You never know how that favorite person is going to act, or even your parents for that matter. My parents have really been unbelievableg they let me do all kinds of unexpec- ted things, Tina Parsley said happily as she discussed her plans for Friday night. Life in and out of school is always unpredictable, Dacia Kaye reported. And so it goes the unpredicability of it all.

Fashion It appears deserted now, but when the wee end rolls around, many students will visit the Cellar Door. New wave and soul music lovers can be found dancing and socializing here. A popular hangout, T. Finnegan's, appears quiet on the outside. Inside, however, music blares as students dance or talk around the tables to old friends and new acquaintances. FRI-SAT MAR TEEns 10 Hangouts There's nothing like T. Finnegarfs, Top 40, Frida ight Bowling, and Home! by Stephanie Dean and Carly Trader lt's Friday night. Where's the gang going? The school might not be a top choice, but there are many sports to watch. There is always a foot- ball game ora soccer match in the fall. When it starts getting colder, sports and sports fans come inside for basketball. Weekends are for parties and many gather at friends' houses to do that. If a party's out of the question, there's al- ways the movies. Meet me at the Ridge is heard through the halls on Friday afternoons. The Midlothian Cinemas are also popular. East of New Kent, Williamsburg has the Martin Twin Cinemas. Feel like dancin ? Head for the Cellar Door in Richmond for new wave and soul music. Goto T. Finnegan's for a basic Top 40. Everyone fits in. The Richmond and Hampton Coliseums host a multitude of concerts during the year with the hottest groups. Rockitz, a night club on Broad Street, has all-ages shows for the less- popular, but good rock bands. Bowling is another alternative, with the Williamsburg Bowl in Williamsburg and Eastern Bowl in Sandston. The last time I went bowling, I made a fool of myself. The ball rolled backwards, said Kathy Farmer. Shopping appeals to girls and guys alike. Buying clothes is the ultimate high, Blair Efird exclaims. The malls in Richmond include Eastgate, Regency, and Cloverleaf. Also, students hang out at 6th Street Marketplace, Main Street Station, and Carytown. lf clothes don't fit into a student's budget, they may opt for a cassette or poster from Gary's or Peaches, two other great hangouts. In Williams- burg, the recently built Outlet Mall and the Pottery also attract students. And...if for some reason none of these satisfy, theres always home with family and friends. Many students frequent Williamsburg Bowl on the weekends. Ann McKeoun, like many others, must travel outside of the county to find entertainment. Hangouts 11 12 Dating Euerybodjfs favorite sport The Dating Game by Alex Walden What social activity relieves the monotony of school life? Dating! Ask anybody and you will get that answer. Dating is a common ground shared by many students. Most of the time, students look for certain character traits in a person before they consider a serious relationship. Cynthia Harper said that she Hlooktedj for a good personality in a per- son who is also attractive. Shawn Gusti looks for the same type of things in a girl. He also likes someone who is fairly sports-minded and who is appreciative of the time that he and she have together. Unusual dates were a commmon topic among students. Cynthia remembers once when her first blind date was with someone she soon learned not to enjoy being with. He was much different that I expected, she said. Shawn was interested in dat- ing Sallie Davis before she was allowed to go out. After she was allowed to go out, they went to Nada's for a bite to eat. I played the jukebox the whole night-the same song, in fact. Lisa Tyler chan- ged the subject to comment on her most wonderful date. I was with two guys, but I was unsure about which one I actually had the date with. I went with both of them. To most students, persona- Iity is the most important fea- ture in a person. But a few other students thought that politeness, courtesy, and intel- ligence had to be considered. Many students believe that these things allude to creati- vity in a date. ,f ,.r, m.n we iw'-ng 5 t While eating lunch, this group enjoys a joke. Students look forward to lunch as the longest time to socialize with friends who have different schedules. Finishing lunch outside, these guys enjoy the day while catching up on what's going on. Many cliques gather in the courtyard to talk about school and to make plans for the weekend. Clickety Cliques by Nadine Derowitsch and Brian Hodges Click...ummm...No! Clique. Cliques. A clique is defined as a small group usually bound together by a common thread of interest. High school students are famous for clique association, but there is one difference in the typical high school and NKHS. You might ask, What is that difference? The biggest variation is that here, cliques are permeable. While one may be part of the college-bound academically, they may also be part of the vocational socially. Sound like something new? Not really. There's the rapp clique, the l-don't -want-to-do-anything today clique, the academic clique, the athletic clique, the l'm -my-own-person clique, and the l'm-in-every -clique clique. So what happens? Well, all through high school we drift in and out of them and then finally after that period of our lives is over, they eventually dissolve. Don't get me wrong. Friends don't dieg cliques just mesh. it K 'hwvf ri x 2 K , Q as ' ,W jj ' ig 2 ij 4,g : ,,.v d 55' ,iel my b',N4r'g K, w M i f J: ,.N .. rs 1 'i s .. ef ll il iw hi .

Foot- ball players and cheerleaders looked forward to Friday night's game against Charles -City. The Homecoming ommittee was busy calculat- ng the ballots for the omecoming court. The nomi- ees waited anxiously for the inal decision. However, the was mostly noted for the the determination to win the Homecoming game. Spirit Week was held during Homecoming week in order to bring out class competition. Many students participated in the dress-up days, but for many different reasons. Some dressed up just to show school spirit, some to earn points for their class, and some just to get stuffed animals. The and stuffed animals l School spirit was most expressed on Sporty Trojans day when the students dressed in their school colors of blue and white, stated Darlene Lyon. One student claimed, They counted me for Tacky day and I wasn't even dressed up! To make Spirit Week more exciting, the SCA sponsored a bonfire after the soccer game pirit shown among the Students were fired during Spirit Week. Student in dress-up days, mystery teacher contest, trivia questions, and the contest made Spirit come alive. According Jodi Hudson, The students' was greatly boosted by dress-up days were Buttons, Shades and Bandanas day, Tacky day, Baby and Pajamas day,The Fifties day, and Sporty Trojans day. Jennifer Johnson thought the funniest day was Baby and Pajamas day. lt was a sight to see a bunch of high school students running around with bottles Wednesday night. This was a first for the school. The bonfire was a great idea and a great success, stated Whitney Sulcer. Another fun event before the Game was the delivery of carnations on Homecoming day. Nadine Derowitsch said, The spirit in- creased with the delivery of the flowers. The spirit games helped prepare students for the game ahead. They were alot of fun and brought out alot of school spirit, said Sandy Tyrone. The football game built up the tension between the nomi- nees for the Homecoming court. As Ted Wallof was crowned king, cheers were brought from the bleachers. When the Homecoming queen was announced, victorious Ni- cole Ciner was all smiles. The victory was celebrated at the Homecoming dance after the game. Ted Wallof and Nicole Ciner stand happily after being crowned Homecoming king and queen. After the game, the SCA rolled out the red carpet for the new king and queen at the Homecoming dance. During the Homecoming football game, the Trojans recover the ball. Hard work and fast motions were necessary to win the game.

Many guys had the staircase hairstyle while the girls opted for the bob cut. The trendy students preferred Bon Jovi, the Beastie Boys, and U2 as their favorite rock groups. More students were seen eat- ing salads and yogurt in the cafeteria, as eating light became popular. Carly Trader said SoHo sodas are yum! and Tammy Felts added, But I just love AJ's butter pecan ice cream in a waffle cone. Junk food had a spot on every- body's favorite food list. This year was one of the best for school candy sales. The sophomore class sold hard candies. The SCA sold M8tM's and other chocolate candies, the junior class sold these also in addition to Gummi Bears. The girls' softball and tenni teams sold candy bars tj make money. Increased exercising kep' many students in shape Activities included jogging weight lifting, and aerobics Another new fad was wearin hand-braided bracelets an anklets. Guys and girls bot wore these, a trend picked up from the beach, and many students could make thei own. Another habit that was taken up was skateboarding This tricky sport was and is en joyed by a lot of teenagers Personalized license plates solid-color jeans, boxe shorts, tie-dyed t-shirts, bla hair bows, and low ponytail for girls and hanging out teen night clubs were amon the favorites for our trend students 18 Trends 1' , ,Ja-,z.f,,, ,,,,, up t, W N W,,,.

Many students dine there because of the good food and the fairly reasonable prices. We were the big spenders that made Top Gun one of the highest grossing movies of the year. Most students saw the movie at least once, but many frequented the theatres to see repeat performances by Tom Cruise. Pizza Hut, Nada's, Little Ceasar's, and Dominos were the most frequented places for our favorite fast food-PIZZA! Trends 19 When the summer just got started What Were We Doing Here? by Stephanie Dean and Carly Trader Who wants to come to school in early August? No one wanted to, but many students fell victim to summer sports practices, band camp, and yearbook workshops. Summer SCA volunteers made signs to help alleviate confusion for new students on the first day of school. Year- During the summer, Pat Atkins worked as a guidance assistant. Her jobs included answering the phone as well as working out schedules. Many students came to Pat and other assistants for help on their schedules. 20 Before School Starts Running onto the court, Buffy Jones passes a ball before a summer practice.

I-low much longer?! by Carly Trader There are many kinds of trips in this world. There are funny people trips and there are field trips. But that's not what this story is about. This story is about some trips students made before, during, and after the school year. Nadine Derowitsch vaca- tioned in Florida during the Christmas holidays. Staying with relatives, Nadine and her family visited Disneyworld in shorts while many students shoveled snow at home. Na- dine also went swimming and returned to school with the darkest tan east of the Pecos. Joanne McLaughlin went on a tour of the East Coast after school was out in July. Among the many stops on her trip were Hersheyworld, Pennsyl- vania, Delaware, New York City, and Niagara Falls, Canada. Taking a vacation proved to be necessary for many students. Kathy Smith spent her spring break in New York with relatives. She rode the sub- way and saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time as well as meeting relatives she had never met before. Tonya Gibbs made a trip to California to see a friend she hadn't seen in a long time. But these weren't the only trips. Others went on trips to nearby vacation spots such as Virginia Beach, Washington, D. C., Charlottesville, Nags Head, and other nearby hot spots. So what was so wonderful about all of these trips? They were all away from New Kent and the usual school and so- cial lives that we all know and love. Without these outlets we would go totally bananas. Many students took frequent quick trips to the beaches for a quick fix of sun and fun. As soon as spring hit, we all left. lt was too much to handle, one student commented. We needed the break from the monotony. Thanks to the lack of our week long spring break, weekends became our own free time. Trips 23 J Q a'. f Charlie Martin and Ray Adkins try out various positions for the garden chair used for a prop for prom pictures. Several juniors spent the entire day of the prom at the Williamsburg Sheraton Patriot lnn decorating for the big event that was later that night. Almost all prom couples participated in the garter ceremony. The guys took the garter olt their dates legs and then put it over their tuxedo sleeve above their elbows. Many had never been to a formal event before, so this was their first experience at such an occassion. 24 Dances dreamsmthey really came true Charles Jones and his date, Nicole Adkins, planned this evening far in advance. Their enjoyable evening proved that planning was a necessity for things to go well.

Hey, wanna dance? was heard repeatedly dance after dance, song after song. Some found only slow dancing romantic enough for that special date, and others found that group dancing, with guys and girls alike, heightened the en- thusiasm ofthe night. Football games were a great prelude to a dance. Sweat dripping, out of breath, but still dancing to the heavy beat. lt didn't matter that the heat during a football game made students exhausted. They never seemed too ex- hausted to stop dancing for a break. Those marathoners kept the beat and their friends going almost all night. Getting a class ring added to the stigma of almost becom- ing a senior . And the dance was a perfect place to make sure that everyone knew that you had one. Although no stigma was attached to a yearbook, hav- ing that precious asset en- sured that each student would be able to relive that previous year again and again. Signa- tures only added to memories that were less than twelve, Dances 25 Exhausted... five, or even three months old. Fall and winter holidays and events eventually exhausted reasons for clubs to sponsor dances. But spring was near and the prom was only several months off.

Well, w-would you go with me?-I mean, it's not serious, or anything ...just as friends? Well, she did go, and maybe it didn't start out as serious, but even- tually they did start dating. And then the prom came. And they Dances sometimes spotlight students who managed to learn the latest steptsj from New York. The yearbook dance and the ring dance were the most successful dances of the year, with a turnout of over 300 students. 26 Dances Sonic Sound provided the latest music for several dances. Students sometimes requested special songs for that special person. Slow dancing was as appreciated as much as fast dancing. went. While many guys were ask- ing for dates as early as February, the prom committee started preparing for These Dreams . And dreams they were. Street Life, the band hired for the prom turned out to be the best one yet. Events at the prom were designed so well that the evening turned out to be enjoyable for even the shyest person and their date. What do we do? Those garters were hard to get off of those legs. Blushing faces and embarassed looks gave way to sighs of relief after those garters were finally in a fixej position-on the arm, over th tux sleeve.

Due to the threat of late spring showers, gradu- ation had become an indoor event as of late afternoon, June 10, 1987. The last row of names was called. lt was all over. With soaking shirts and dresses, parents and friends alike gathered around suf- focating graduates to extend their congratulations on their last thirteen years of work. This year is a landmark year, commented Mr. Alexan- der. During his congratulatory speech to graduates, he recalled the fact that this year is the first year that a graduat- ing class had attended all four county schools.

In addition to student responsibilities, athletes have to endure long gruelling practices with no guarantee that a game or match will be won.

Soccer 33 Down, set, fight Friday Night Follies The football team had a lot of things to do before a big game. Thursday practices were the hardest of the week. Players prepared themselves mentally and physi- cally for Friday night's standoff. After Coach AIlen's instructions for a good night's sleep Thursday night, one could only wonder if the team would pull through the next night. Fridays at school were full of intensity. With paper footballs made by cheer- leaders pinned on every player's back, enthusiasm aboun- ded in the school. After school, the players either studied plays of previous games or went home to psych themselves up. Rap music was one of many sources to help players get psyched. Students and parents came to see the games. Filling the bleachers, spectators watched the playing field with almost 34 Varsity Football breathless intensity. For those fans who knew nothing about the game, they con- tinued to spot the ever-lit scoreboard at the end of the field. Halftime shows consisted of routinues rehearsed by band members and cheer- leaders. The team planned strategies to aid them in the take- over of their oppo- nents. The final outcome of the game predicted enthusiastic fans' emotions. Con- solations or cheers of victory filled the air. The season was a fairly successful one. With a giant victory over Middlesex lead- by Shawn Gusti ing the season, the team continued to win games against oppo- nents such as Wind- sor, King 81 Queen, Charles City, and the arch rival, West Point. With over 3000 rush- ing yards, 1000 yards and six touchdowns on punt returns alone the team enjoyed a record of 6-4, with a district record of 3-2. After a successful season, several play- ers were recognized for outstanding con- tributions to the team. These included the MVP's: Shawn Gusti, offense, and Craig Smith, defense.

The object of the game is basical- ly simple, but on the contrary, it is dif- ficult. Golf is one of the most frustrating sports invented. Sometimes the ball seems to have a mind of its own, and will land in all kinds of nice places, like behind a tree, in a pond, or under a bush. A golf match con- sists of playing eighteen holes and whoever has the lowest total score wins. Golf is a very popular sport throughout the world. In our area there are many fine courses where one can try his luck in golf. One of the play- ing courses is Brookwood Golf Course, located in Five Lakes.

This makes the fourth year in a row that these players have played together. Shawn Gusti ended the season with the best record, and Kelly Chestnut was the team's most improved player. Tracie Stewart, voted the most valu- able player, helped to lead the way to the outstanding record that was evident at the end of the girls' team season. Previous years found the girls uncomfortable with their play, but this provement was the name of the game as the team continued to win matches over opponents such as Mathews, Surry, and Essex. This was one of the first years that the girls won more matches than they lost. And why? The team's most improved player, Rose Hall attri- butes that the team worked much harder and really learned how to play the game. What a concidence!

Boys' and Girls' Tennis 65 We did well We Placed For members of the Forensics team, noth- ing could have been more realistic than hard work, determina- tion, and leadership. Forensics, the ex- tracurricular activity in which students work to develop their speaking skills, was practiced by members just like any other sport. Most of the team members trained by rehearsing, memoriz- ing, and then more rehearsing of their parts. Carly Trader commented that, the most disappointing aspect of the team is that you can't possibly learn all of the words by Alex Walden in such a short period of time. Other members of the team also shared this general feeling. I learned ar lot about using emotion in words and I think I did as well as l've ever done, commented Jennifer Johnson. Jennifer, who partici- pated in dramatic in- terpretaion delivered her part very serious- ly. With the efforts of all, the team was able to produce several students who placed: Margaret Brindle, second, Chris Geron, thirdg and Carly Tra- der, third.

Still Stands the House starred Barbara Foley, Mike Foley, Nadine Derowitsch, and Omar Smith as characters involved in the sale of an old farmhouse and the surrounding barren land. And, as always, there are those who are for it, and those who are against it. Death comes as the end to those who buck the established tradi- tions of the Warren family. Although the family in the play is torn, the cast and crew were blessed with 'togetherness' from start to finish. In just one year's time, the cast finished ahead of their previous year's finish.

Not know- ing answers to academic questions was at first humiliating for the scholastic challenge team, but confidence soon took precedence over fears. New this year, the team fared well with an overall finish of three wins and three very close losses. Challenge ques- tions, prepared by Mrs. Pinelli, Mrs. Gu- lick, and Mr. Gulick, used at all practices, were typical ques- tions asked of the team during competi- tions. Whether it was a question on Aristotle or chemistry, the team attempted the correct answer. El 'E' lt.. - Front row-Whitney Sulcer, Mike Gephart, Alex Walden, Charles Bowery.

The team ad- vanced to the Tidewater District Tournament and tied for third place in the tournament and the regular season. Had it not been for the team's hard work, they would not have done as well, commented one team Would you repeat the question, please? Team members who did not hear the question clearly the first time are allowed to ask for a one time repeat. Here was one of those unexpected questions on zoology. At the honors assembly, scholastic challenge team members Blair Elird and Charles Bowery debate over the correct answer to the question. The opposing team appears relieved over their anxiety. Coach Pinelli asks several of those stumping ques- tions. Today's questions are typical of those asked at a real match.

Clubs break the monotony of everyday school life. Organizations are good for learning experiences and to better the school system. Joining clubs is a good way to meet new friends. I l 1 Tammy Wooten brings her story of Cinderella alive at the SCA reading fair. SCA representatives wore cloth- ing typical of characters in the story that they read. Organizations 71 Military science They Never Did it This Way Before From 'day-one' they knew that it would be a tough struggle to keep their heads above water, but the Pride of New Kent as they preferred to be called, endured the screeching year they had as a newly recruited organization, Unlike so many years before, the band took a turn for the better. The summer months were spent recruiting and training new members. Band camp was a neces- sity for those who were to endure the com- ing hot months of marching. Camp turned out to be a string of rainy days, never let- ting up enough for an entire day of relaxa- tion and outdoor recreation. Practices started early and ended late. But even though some students were not used to the rugged schedule, they caught on. lt felt like military camp, commented Carrie Dezern. But when asked if she regretted her decision to sign up, her reply was an emphatic, NO! Local parades and Friday night football games seemed to help the organization build its reputation for the better. Halftime shows were becoming more popular since they were now being viewed as real entertainment instead of just a break for hot dogs and hot chocolate. Endurance Concert band members performed at the Fine Arts Festival held at the Middle School. Not only did the concert band and choir perform, but artwork done by students was presented to parents and community members. 72 Band!Choir by Mary Ellen Guthrie and Janice Hibbard and perseverance had paid off. Unlike band, the school choir seemd to rely upon previous recognition. With a small, but well-voiced membership, this organization made its debut locally at regional competitions. Middle and primary school performances seemed to excite younger crowds of students during performances to recruit new members for the next year. Q- QE' Band camp proved to be a successful venture during the summer months. Long, hot practices resulted in entertaining halftime shows at home football games. Early morning hours were great times for practices before breakfast. At first, twilight was a time for sleeping, but not any more. Concentration came at any hour, day or night for band members. The results of their effort was evident in their perfor- mances. Choir members found themselves entertaining at local events sponsored by various organizations. Graduation, the last performance of the year, brought sentimental thoughts to graduates as each graduate sang with the organization for the last time.

Band!Choir 73 Reading fair and hot air ot Any is Just Enough by Carrie Dezern and Jodi Hudson They're only the two most powerful organizations on campus. With their influ- ence, students gained a more positive perspective on life-socially and academ- ically. Who are they? SADD and SCA. SADD was the result of a group of students who decided that drunk driving laws were not enforced as heavily as they should have been. Too many lives had suffered. New Kent's chapter strived to see that the message Don't drink and Drive was well-embraced by the student body. How did SADD accomplish its goal? Juniors and seniors who were going to the prom were approached with a contract stating that they would promise that at least one out of five students would stay sober so that they could arrive home safely. Business cards with a SADD message were placed in florists and tuxedo rental shops in the area. lf they hadn't gotten the message yet, would they? Springtime was the perfect weather to have a balloon lift off in the courtyard. Students purchased helium balloons and stuffed messages to stay sober inside. Hopefully those who found the later defla- ted balloons would realize that someone cared enough to send the message across. But helium ballons weren't the only items lifting off from the courtyard. The most spectacular event was the large hot air ballon bearing the message Say NO to Drugs . Teaming up with PRIDE, SADD was out to deliver the message of unsafe judgement. Homecoming week was SCA's most spectacular event. With new ideas such as a mid-week bonfire and a facultyfSCA exam breakfast. Whitney Sulcer, dressed as a fairy princess, reads a collection of nursery rhymes to primary school children as part of the state proclaimed reading day. 74 SADDXSCA Early fall found students a little apprehensive about building floats for a homecoming field parade at the game. But many really liked the bon-fire idea. lt was different, came from several students. Planned monthly activities seemed to center around social events that dictated unity and cooperation among teachers and students. The annual Reading Fair at the primary school prompted many to dress up as a character in their stories. Fund raisers were typical success stories. Carwashes, bake sales, and semi-annual carnation sales were the root of SCA's financial support. So, under the influence of these two groups, one's life may not be totally omit- ted from the good effects of their en- deavors. E , 5 Balloon lift-offs were uncommon, but successful pleas for students to not drink and drive. Notes requesting that the finder of these balloons not drink and drive were put inside prior to their being filled with helium. Kelly Chestnut and Mr. Geiger take their life into their own hands by allowing the hot-air balloon to tether among the roofs of the buildings. Due to Mr. Geiger's apprehension of getting air-sickness, he knelt down in the basket to say a short prayer while in flight. Predldlgble pyoiileS , r 1, RQ ' tr ' ' ., s lllAl,,.t . .

As Usual by Diane Barker and Laune Daugherty Service was the theme for most voca- tional clubs this year, but especially for FBLA and FHA. Whether separately, or as a team, both clubs surpassed most other organizations for their contributions to the community. With the arrival of the school year, FBLA greeted each teacher with a small gift of office and school supplies. Staples, pens, and other necessities were essen- tial for a successful first day. FHA's con- tribution to the visiting committee helped the faculty greet its guests for a difficult four-day period. Without the help of this organization, the faculty would have had to prepare for more meals than they had time for. Thanksgiving day was just around the corner. Needy families were fortunate to receive food collected by the combined efforts of FBLA and FHA. Through this service, many families were able to have a nice Thanksgiving meal. Christmas was a busy time for faculty members. Exams were scheduled, given, and graded. The work seemed to pile up most with Christmas break scheduled for 76 FBLAXFHA a two week period. But FHA didn't forget teachers. Christmas cards with pleasant Christmas and holiday greetings were left in teachers' boxes in hopes that these cheerful expressions of appreciation would leave teachers with a more relaxed week of exams. The snow caused the delay of the Valentine's Day dance. Even though it was pushed two weeks back, the large turnout made this the most successful dance sponsored by FHA. Sallie Davis and Shawn Gusti, the best dressed couple, took applause and compliments home with them. But Valentine's Day was not overlooked by FBLA. Valentine grams were purchased by students and were sent to that special friend as a special valentine greeting. Near the year's end, FHA and FBLA teamed up against each other for their annual softball game. The sport, played in sporting competition, proved that two organizations, even though different in name and purpose, could join together for the service they provided to the commu- nity. Mr. Wilbur Taylor's retirement from the school system prompted vocational education classes to prepare gifts for him. Diane Barker, FHA president, presented Mr. Taylor with a basket of oltice supplies as 'necessities for his otlice at home'. AISIA club members constructed a cabinet for Mr. Taylor. The cabinet was handmade from pine. Prefllcwble prOlll95 Beta Club-Front row: Shannon McPhail, Jodi Hudson, Whitney Sulcer, Mrs. Lee.

FBLAXFHA 77 Local and national newness Unexpected additions Without the influence of AISIA and FFA in our community, we would not be as educated in the utilization of surrounding resources as we are. FFA stresses the im- poratance of the agririan world around us. AISIA has made us more aware of in- dustrial arts and the applications it has in our lives. . Field surveys as well as reading took place in at least one classroom this year. Without agriculture, civilization would not be able to support at least one habit-food consumption. FFA em- phasized the importance of agricultural appreciation. With fund raisers such as fruit sales, patrons were always aware of the source that our farmers provide us. by Chip Leftwich AISIA found itself at the top. Chip Leftwich and John Moore both qualified for nationals this year. After competing in the state car racing competition in Richmond, both students were on their way to Baton Rouge, Louisianaforthe na- tional finals. V I A first for the school was Chip Leftwich's election as regional historian for the south central United States. Chip represented the region to the national AISIA club. The year went as unpredictable as ex- pected. With these new additions and new achievements, New Kent should be catching a new wave. A- gf t f '4 1 .4155-P t' -5- r E52 Dennis Shifflet and Tray Hodges spend class time studying the environment. This type of study helps to make school much more interesting. These are the types of things that FFA believes are important.

AISIAXFFA Kim 79 Two of a kind Taps and Letters Beta and Varisty clubs are organiza- tions whose criteria has to be met before a student may become a member. Beta Club requires a grade point average of 3.25 before a student may be inducted. Teacher recommendations are also taken into consideration before the tapping ceremony. Varsity Club requires that students earn at least one letter in a varisty sport before they can become members. As the largest club on campus, varsity club hosts several activities that in- corporate the majority of the school popu- lation. Beta Club inducted twenty new members in April. The reception held after the tapping ceremony was financed through fund raisers that most club members participated in. The scholarship sponsored by Beta Club goes to a college bound senior. Monthly newsletters were handed out to all members in order to allow the members to become acquainted with Beta Clubs inthe surrounding areas. Newly tapped member, Blair Efird claims that it was a great honor to be tapped into the Beta Club. Charles Bowery also feels that the Beta Club is an honor and all new Beta Club inductees should be proud. 80 Beta!Varsity by Jodi Hudson Alex Walden, also a new inductee, was surprised at his being tapped in. But like most students, was proud of his achievements. Beta Club members were awarded certificates, penants, pins, membership cards and a reception in their honor. Varsity Club's big event of the year was the great facultyfstudent basketball game. Of course, the male students whipped the male faculty, but the female students came in second to the female faculty. Ashleg Harwood just tapped Anne Gregory into the Beta lub. This organization is only for students who have met stringent academic qualifications. During the third quarter of the students vs. faculty basketball game, the female students attempt to gain control of the ball from a female faculty member. Unlike most basketball games, this one was for sheer fun. 135 Hips . . . , T i i as can E UBC lgjtg f My nrfstxi X , Beta Club's new inductees pledge their commitment toward quality, academics, service, and leadership along with old members. Most inductees earned a grade point average above the required 3.25.

Beta!Varsity Clubs 81 Mock us. real Bill Collectors Just between you and me, what is the oratory club? Well, you sure do hear a lot about them, but who are they? These are the typical comments and questions often heard about our oratory club. And to clear up some of these questions, let's see what happened with them this year. November was an extremely busy month. With the visiting committee mak- ing evaluations on our school, someone had to help. Thanks to this club, they went the extra mile to be of service to these in- dividuals. In Decemberthe club participated in the Fine Arts Program with readings and choral readings. These readings were delivered by members who had worked extremely hard learning, memorizing, and practicing for their performance. The Skeleton Walks , the oratory club presentation, included a ten member cast that delivered two superb performances. Both audiences believed that this was surely one of Oratory Club's best plays. One Act Play competition was tough. Most actors were members of the club, with little experience. The play was awar- ded third place, up from last year's fourth place. Several students participated in Model Congress held at Richard Bland College. Mock bills were sub- mitted and discussed and later brought to a vote. 82 Oratory Club by Allison Smith Model Congress at Richard Bland College was the highlight of the year. Several students participated in a mock type of congress that submitted, debated, and voted on bills that were similar to those submitted in this state. Time again for another springtime Fine Arts Program. This time, though, comic skits and dialogues were the main event. ,,l M 8 Q. Charlie Martin shared many of his viewpoints on several issues at Model Congress. Students were encouraged to respond as they felt that the students they supposedly represented would feel. Recess didn't mean playing on the playground. These two, Charles Bowery and Tommy Ellis, were exhausted from the day's journey and activities. Predlcldbxe Prgllles 00.

The last page has just been layed out, the copy is finally in the compu- ter, and every photo has just been cropped to size...and as typical yearbook articles go, l could tell you just how hard we worked and sweated this year to get this book published. But I won't. You can see for yourself what this book is likeg what photos were selected and what the captions read. Without YOU it would have never been possible. YOU were the ones who made this yearbook a success. Why? Because you helped us by telling us that Mrs. Gu- lick's class was doing skits, Mrs. Martin's class was dancing the Charleston, and Mr. Bush's class designed and operated a laser. And you also told us that there would be a bonfire as well as a pep rally during homecoming week. So what does that have to do with year- book? You are the yearbook. Everything in this school is part of a history that can and will never be repeated. You made his- tory and helped us record it. But let's not forget the people who recorded the events of the year.

Lectures domina- ted this classroom, but after all, isn't college basically lec- ture-oriented? Mrs. Martin's lectures encouraged exten- sive note-taking by her students. I don't like taking notes every day, commented Tommy Ellis. Even though many students shared the same sentiments, most learned from the experience. AP classes were not the only ones having fun while learning. While dancing the I -the Charleston in AP History, Gov- ernment classes were ex- periencing their own way to learn. Academic and general classes, forerunners of the AP classes, are the basis on which AP classes were developed. So, don't think that lectures and note-taking are the only things that we can do in class. Mrs. Gulick's govern- ment classes demonstrated their knowledge by doing short skits about the roles of the president. Lectures do have their place in the classroom, though.

AP Classes 89 While you were working on classroom worksheets and tests, we were touring the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, York- town, and enjoying the Span- ish folklore ballet. For the first time in a while, students had the opportunity to experience alittle part of the real world. ln- stead of a limited classroom experience, we could experi- ence the check-clearing process, impressionistic art, and the battle of Yorktown. We could also experience a little bit of Spanish culture that seemed so many miles away. Students came back from the Federal Reserve Bank S80 richer. There was only one Experience the real world Field Trippin' problem...the S80 was shred- ded money destroyed by the bank's shredding facility. Check clearance became a novelty instead of an incon- ceivable process that took place many miles in some desolate building. Students were able to visit 1776 and the battle of York- town that went with the times. The Revolutionary War became alive and exciting as we saw the battle in our minds on the battlefields that surrounded our imaginations. And what about the Museum in Richmond? The experience with various mediums in art class became more realistic as we saw how they were applied by famous by Carly Trader artists. With our somewhat vast knowledge, we applied what we had learned to the world that surrounded us. Without going to Spain, we were fortunate to see and ex- perience Spanish culture. What influence has that cul- ture had upon us? And what influence might it have? These were questions that we focused upon as we watched dancers interpret the culture that seemed at one time so vague to us. So you see, school is not limited to a group of buildings. We were able to see and sense and experience a world that is soon to be ours. 90 Field Trips Lisa Yount was astonished at all of the facilities that the Federal Reserve Bank had. From check clearing stations for every district bank to cash- shredding machines, the workings of the bank intrigued further investigation into careers at the bank. W Government Day found students field tripping all The excitement of the ballet encouraged conversations the county Interns for the Sheriffs Department aboutthe effects of Spanish culture on the American way of the dispatching facility.

Field Trips 91 Like a part of any wedding, a rehearsal is important to the success ofthe cere- mony. Mike Trader and Norma Powers, groom and bride, respec- tively, rehearsed their vows they are to repeat the next day. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. It only took that statement to prompt groom Mike Trader to seal the commitment he has just made. , .,,,. 3 l .. .. l l 5 . -1 j -Shir., ilzi ll w if w , 1 f',f,-f 5,5 1 aw 92 Mock Wedding Don't mock this one Wedding Day Jitters by Allison Smith Bride's magazine, in most issues, includes a timetable for the preparation of a wed- ding. For the Marriage and the Family class, preparation took six months. Notjust to arrange a photographer, purchase bridesmaids dresses, rent tuxedos, or select flowers, but to learn about the home and aspects of being a marriage partner and parent. Many relevant topics are in- cluded and discussed in the class, but none as meaningful to students as their participa- tion in the 'mock wedding'. Just as May and June brides are really walking down the aisles of churches, Norma Powers walked the aisle of the gym in front of about seventy- five spectators to become the Miss Kehoe helps the mother of the bride, Stacey Whitehurst, with her corsage. Even little things like these take time. 'wife' of Mike Trader. It all starts in late March. Those students who want to play a certain role put their names in a hat to be drawn out at random. Miss Kehoe helps each student in the wedding party get fitted for dresses or tuxedos. Invitations orders, flowers selected, and decorations purchased are taken care of just like a real wedding. Music is provided by a student soloist and accompanist, Mrs. Jones. The big day is here. And this groom is as nervous as a real groom. Those am l making the right decision to get married? feelings begin to take shape deep in the pit of his stomach while the bride is more concerned with the thought of everything going as planned. Groomsmen are first to make their way down the aisle. Bridesmaids follow behind, only to lead the ring bearer and flower girls down the same path. As the bride enters with her father, guests stand for her as she makes her last walk as a single girl. After the ceremony, the wedding party and guests are served at a reception catered by the Life Management Skills class. This food is really good, one guest exclaims, only to note the great deal of work and preparation involved in this endeavor. So, you see, you can get married at an early age without Mom and Dad's permission. Mock Wedding 93 Special abilities of special people Winning Medals with Spirit by Allison Smith Special Olympics has ex- panded into a program in- which students can participate during the year. These special athletes who are involved are able to demonostrate their abilities in bowling, basketball, and track and field events at area and state levels. Athletes who participated in bowling earned first place ribbons for their abilities. Those two Saturday after- noons spent practicing must have helped tremendously for this area competition. Track and field competition was another big event. Once again athletes traveled to Richmond to compete on an area level. The competition was tough in the 50 meter, 100 meter, 200 meter, standing long jump, and shot put events, but the athletes proved themselves by bring- ing home first, second, or third place ribbons for their events. Four of the students were able to compete at the state level with athletes from all over Virginia. The games were held at the University of Richmond, and the athletes were able to spend the weekend in hotels in Richmond. Not only were they thrilled with their gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded to them during the competi- tion, but they were equally cited by rollerskating, hor back riding, swimming, a dancing with 2000 others the Victory Dance. Special Olympics panici tion has encouraged learn outside of the classmf Along with the came new friends from over. Antoinette Otey received a bronze medal for her track and field abilities. Antoinette, a frequent special olympics participant, has won many other medals for other events. Chris Shumaker received a hug from an unknown olympics spectator. She was his abilities, and by the look on face, he appreciated her hug. 94 Special Olympics Saben Dean and Antoinette Otey participated in the tennis event at Spe- cial Olympics. They also competed in other events during the year. Chemistry students Taylor Moore and Anissa Jones frequently use a warm water bath in a beaker heated by a low flame to heat chemicals. Chemistry labs help students to apply what they have previously learned in lectures. Shannon MacLaughlin and Tammy Boyd made Spanish dishes for their Spanish class to taste. Several students in Mrs. Altman and Mr. Good- man's classes prepared food for a cultural project. o books or homework IS Joanne McLaughlin No books, no homework, you don't even have to in paper and pencil. learning is where When students their education, they for a job where they to apply the knowledge gained.

Cosmetology Laverne Harris and Allen plan on a career in S at. have urlers and Saws Cosmetology after graduating from high school. RTC teaches them chemistry for application in their field. They have several major haircuts to perform before they can graduate. Robbie Forrest took dental hygiene at RTC. Now she's working for a dentist part time and will continue to work for him during her senior year. RTC has helped me learn a great deal, Robbie said. I can finally apply what l've learned to something I enjoy. Other courses at RTC in- clude small engine repair, auto body painting, welding, and metal fabrication. Roughly, about one-third of the junior and senior class attend classes at RTC. But regular high school has its advantages,too. Whether it's chemistry or physics, typ- ing or word processing, students find areas that are readily applicable. Chemistry labs have helped me to under- stand more about what we've learned in chemistry problems, one student commented. We built a laser and tested it out in class one day, exclaimed Todd Curle. And you should have seen it work! That laser was phenomenal. Many students take accounting to help equip them with a strong bookkeeping background. Pat Adkins commented about the accounting simulation project at year's end. Yeah, it was hard, real hard, but Mrs. Bell had taught us everything we needed to know so we could complete all of it. That simul- ation was a real test of what we learned, confided Laurie Daugherty. Art students took a field trip for one of the first times in several years. Their trip was to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts where students could see how different mediums were Philip Frazier is amazed at Mica Man- son's pottery creation. Many students thought that the pottery unit in their art class was the most interesting of the year. Hands-on Classes 97 Curlers and Saws used in art. Miss Radcliff gives students opportunities in class to experience working with various forms of art. Whether chalk, pencil, or acrylic paints, art students are able to learn the effects of each of these through their own ex- periences. Many art students start out in Art l, go on to Art ll, and then take Advanced Art. Choir and band are also classes where participation is extremely important. Small parts of knowledge are learned, then applied. Brian Evans tells us that the first thing he learned in choir was how to read notes. lf you can't read notes, he says, then you can't possibly remain a consistent part of the group. John Moore has been a member of AISIA since eighth grade.Now, in his third year, he says that Mr. Deavers' in- dustrial arts classes got him in- terested. Shop classes experi- ence building things from 'the ground up'. With this know- ledge learned and applied, a student may find he has a gift for carpentry and go to RTC to complete a carpentry certifi- cate. These types of ex- periences are important in educating the whole person, Miss Carlton, said. Without them, we would have only the knowledge learned from books. These experiences give students the opportunity to see in progress exactly what they have learned. Dennis Shiftlet repairs a small engine. As an RTC student, Dennis is faced with these types of mechanical dif- ficulties every day. Antoinette Otey plays 'Uno' in math class. Playing, games like help her to remem er numbers colors. 98 Hands-on Classes nlttl , Mrs. Costa's World Geography class learns more about geography by drawing and coloring continents on a world map. These students can now tell you just about anything you would like to know about most countries around the world. 3 SIP classes would not be the same without the annual Halloween party for the primary school children.

Or have you ever ridden in Mike Tra- der's car? Or better yet, have you ever noticed Annette Gillen's eyes? Well, these three and more are winners of our annual Super Seniors Selection. And who elects them? You do. Every senior has the opportu- nity to elect who they feel fits each category explicitly. E. J. Johnson is known all over the school by freshmen as well as seniors for his clowning activities. Whether it's making a crack in class or performing antics in the cafeteria during lunch, he al- ways seems to bring smiles, laughs, or snickers from his admiring public. Or what about Ted Wallof and Barbara Foley. They re- cently had an exciting one- on-one basketball game in the gym. Can you guess who won? Ted, of course. As the class' tallest member, he had no trouble rebounding shots to score points over '87s shortest player. But if an amateur perform- ance is not what you want, you could always find Todd Curle, our most athletic, playing foot- Tracy Baldwin's habit of being late resulted in her new habit of washing blackboards several times each week.

Thank good- ness there is still someone around who manages to never earn any detentions during the year. lt's great having Robert arrive at class on time. But ten minutes early means he has to leave his previous class early. Oh, well. John Carlson is known for his mellow attitude toward academics. Voted as the Iaziest earns him the repu- tation of cruising through school. Lazy, no. Just a relaxed kind of person. Typing class would never be the same without Mike Gephart.

Maurice and Annette definitely know the meaning of eye contact. Without it, they would have never caught your attention. Paige Coughlin is known as the class' most original dresser. Her unique wardrobe helps to add a little sunshine to everyone's life. Yesterday she wore a new old army fatigue jacket. Did it match her other clothes? You bet!

Last summer Donna spent almost everyday at one of two places-Sears or the county transportation office. Working over forty hours a week helped to replenish her pocketbook. She IS the hardest worker we know. Seniors know that between Ricky Ciner, most outgoing, and Debbie Ellis, most talka- tive, that never a dull momemt passes at school.

Being late for class is nothing new in a student's hectic schedule. When put on the spot, everyone has a favorite excuse to use. Billy Manning relies on the typical My locker wouldn't open, line. Dionne Otey blames others. Joey Williams pushed me off the steps and I lost my books. I got sick in the bathroom, is Scott Overmire's excuse. Carly Trader got creative. Someone stepped on the back of my shoe on the stairs and it fell off and rolled down the stairs. When I went to get it, l tripped someone else and had to help them up and I never found my shoe, but the teacher wouldn't believe me. An average of ten students arrive to school late daily. Excuses range from I had to take my mom to work to I oversleptf' Ricky Ciner took his chances with his excuse I had a flea dip appointment. Late homework is another reason to make excuses. Bose Hall uses I had to go to church last night. The lights went out is Ni- cole Washington's line. Ms. Curie finds the most used excuse is my mom put it in the washer and then the dryer. Finding the perfect excuse usually takes some imagina- tion and thought, of which most students are capable. Glancing at the office clock, Sue Brown wants to know how late she really is, while Flicky Lemons waits impati- ently.

But for most achers, it's what they live for. The begin- ing of the school year for most students is II of curiosity. Curiosity stemmed from the acher and class will be like and the number f friends who share the class with them. fter a few weeks, or days, in some cases, e daily routine takes its toll on students and achers alike. So, what do your friends and achers do on normal, typical days? Junior, Ken Fisher says, My day starts off t 6 am. Even though I get up early, I still ave to rush to make it to school. To most students getting up at 6:00 would em a little early. But most would agree with en if asked what their day would be A normal school day for me is trying to do work, daydreaming and taking it easy in some classes. After school if I'm not participating in baseball or soccer I usually watch a little T.V. and study. Another junior, Chris Appell, has a similar schedule except that I wake up at about 7:30 am which means I really have to rush to leave at 8:00. After school Chris participates in the most popular sport. Ask Chris what that is and he'll tell you in two words: I work. What about the eighth graders who have no work to turn to but housework and other chores or if they're lucky J.V. sports? To Trey Guthrie his day consists of get- ting up at 6:00, trying to work in school and to play around some, doing chores, and play- ing around some more alter school. So you see, school, work, and home do agree with the typical day. ,.,.,5. .... ..:. ..., , .::,, . : 'v I I I iss I' ' is is r A A .1 'W K me .. ,..

To get the latest gossip on who loves who, just check a chalkboard. Students use the boards to write their favorite music groups, songs, and lyrics. Any feelings that need to be expressed can be found scribbled across the board. Artwork is also displayed, ranging from dogs to cars to portraits of friends. Although some teachers allow students to express themselves, other teachers stongly oppose it. Sometimes, this is because they've just washed their chalkboards, but usually it's because they hate erasing. I like looking at people's artistic abilities in my class said Mr. Jernigan about the chalk- board graftitti. When there's nothing better to do, pick up a piece of chalk and get creative. lt's better than bumming around. ,.. 2 AM W ' 1.4 'Y 11 -et. .7 4.1 an 'xx-1.

Most hunters are up and waiting for their victims long before day- break. A few even scout out deer habitat to study them before hunting season begins. They belive that a deer has certain patterns it will follow if undisturbed. The only way to see a deer is to go into the woods with a positive attitude toward hunting and to be willing to stay out all day. Hunting techniques differ for each game. A hunter who wants to be productive should under- stand the animal he hunts and he must respect it. The experienced hunter, Steve Haislip, knows that getting up early in the morning to prepare to find his game is necessary to participation in the sport. Steve has been hunting deer and small foul for several years and has been fortunate in his en- deavors. Travelling through thick undergrowth, Sam Bowery begins his search for something to unt. Being especially quiet is an important part of hunting. Sam, like many others, enjoys the thrill of the hunt. Underclassmen 1 1 7 Go Skate or Leave Skateboarding hit big all around this summer. Although the county doesn't have many sidewalks, a few students managed to find various places to skate. Skateboards can be bought plain, which is just a deck, for S35-5540, or complete, which can cost S140 or more. Accessories found on most boards range from noseguards which protect the front of the board, to griptape which provides traction. Practically every board is covered with graffitti and stickers. Many sayings are representative of the owner's personality. Such sayings include Schmitt Stix, Bones Brigade, and Mess with the Best. All skaters agree that scratches make the board look better. Ted Wallof and Mike Trader prove that it wasn't easy to skate in New Kent.

Most skaters believe that skateboarding is here to stay. We've got a ramp in New Kent nowg it's picking up around here, Jason Keckler said. Skaters said that is was easy to learn. The easiest trick is the tic-tac where the board is moved from side to side by lifting the nose and pushing down on the back. None of New Kent's skaters wore knee guards or helmets. All skaters have accidents, even though they claim skating is easy to learn. Chip Leftvvich says his worst accident was when I came off a bank, lan- ded and hit a rock. The skateboard landed out from under me. Most skaters have been skating for one to three years. Actually, I've been doing it since l was eight, Ted said. When asked about the future of skateboarding Chip said, Of course,it'lI be back. Jason said, Skating is here to stay. ,,,.. ,, . . f,.f x 1? Ni l 5 1 Yu Q' 4,91 ' QQ i ' ella! . .xr ' ' I K H x fit!

Almost everyone ex- ercises in one form or another every day whether it be running to catch the bus or walking to class. There are many different types of exercise such as aerobics, jogging, jazzercise and weightlifting. The majority of students who weightlift feel that there are not many opportunities to exercise without weights. The high school gym was available to students on weekends who were trying to Worth It? make exercise enjoyable. Students and faculty realize the benefits of exercise, and are trying to make the community more aware of these benefits through sports parti- cipation and therefore provide the gym on weekends. Several students stated that their self- image was boosted after exercising and this was an easy way to rid themselves of energy in a profitable way. Alisa Boroughs stated that, Exercise makes me feel better about myself and when I have a problem it helps me to get rid of stress. Another student said exercising makes me feel good about myself. Straining hard, Paul Powell uses the weight bench to strengthen his leg muscles. Working out keeps Paul physically fit and in good shape. -w Underclassmen 121 Using one seat as a back rest and one as afootstool, Russell Holderties his hightop on the way to school.

A veh- icle used to go back and forth to school, full of noisy primary schoolers? Of course everyone would rather drive to school, but only a lucky few are able to. Cars are ex- pensive and some students do not have licenses. Some buses are a great way to so- cialize. Students compare homework before school and talk about T.V. shows, dates, and other things on the way home. Usually, everyone has an assigned seat, but it does not matter if the assignment is with a friend. Bus drivers are a major influence on bus riders.

Skiing also ranked high among the athletic. Winter downhill and summer water skiing prove to be accesible to many. lf downhill skiing is not available, hunting is. Without hunting, life would be typical of metropolitan areas. An old hobby that is a comeback is skateboarding. And of course, America's favorite pasttime, watching TV attracts all students.

Sarah Doucet spends great mounts of time in her bedroom, which has ome unusual things, such as strings hang- ing from her closet to braid that will keep her busy. Shawn Gusti has made his room into his own place with a weightlifting area and a type of living room surrounding his bedroom, which is where he spends the majority of his time. The condition of a bedroom is an interest- ing thing to find. When taking a look at Rusty Powell's bedroom, you'll find it spotless, from motorcycle posters to girl's pictures, everything is in place. Lisa Tyler's room is slightly less organized. Clothes seem to be finding their way out of closets and drawers, but with Alabama posters everywhere, she says her room is a great place to relax. Ken Fisher also finds a great place to relax in the living room chair that sits in his bedroom where he cleans his guns. A bedroom is something that everyone has, but all are different depending on who are, which is why bedrooms seem to reveal many things about a person and it is someth- ing that you can always call your own.

Driving, the most desired sport of all teenagers, is the dream of every teenager. They can't wait for the day they turn sixteen. Some save for years to buy a car. They wish for anything with four wheels that can stop and go! Others make a joint effort with their parents. Some work hard to make honor role so their parents will buy a car for them. But regardless of the means, a car is a prized possession. Many students went as far as to personal- ize their cars. Dnnis Shiflett, for instance, put DENKUS on his plates. With my Dad and brother's help, he worked day after day to make his '76 Mustang Il what it is today. R. HOGGE is placed on the rear end of Bobbie's '79 Sunbird. l call it Blue Bonnet, he said. And we can't forget those vehicles with two wheels. Shawn Gusti's dream...a motor- cycle. I worked all summer to buy itg it's the only thing l can say I ever bought! Then we have Taylor Moore with his HOT Z28, Allison Jones with her 8AJ8 and last but certainly not least Blair Efird with his favorite show Dynasty, but the y wouldn't fit so COLBYS it is! Blair left with this, There is no way on this Earth I can pay my insurance! Greg Gresham is one of the lucky few who are able to drive sports cars to school. His silver Fiero makes a lot of used-car owners jealous. Scott Lipscomb shows pride in his truck through his personalized license T plates. The dirt spotted bumper shows he puts his truck to good use.

Ever heard that on before? Probably. Well, with teachers, it definitely applies. How many sane teachers do you know who keep their desks neat? I can't think of one. Papers, grade book, pens, pencils, reference books...they're all there taking up more and more room every year. Take a look at Mrs. Mercer's desk. Have you seen it clean once this year? Well, maybe the one time it was clean was the very first day of the year. If you've ever noticed the drawers of her desk when searching for a pencil to loan, you've probably noticed that the inside appear- ance matched the outside appearance. Clean Desks Take Mrs. Bell, for example. An instructor who is as good at individualizing instruction as well as she, deserves a break. She must have 1,000 papers to grade every night that sit on her desk until she leaves. Her desk is somewhat neat after she leaves, but doesn't remain that way for very long after she arrives the next day. Mrs. Dickerson's desk has a lot on it, too. Some students commented that her desk reminded them of office desks in doctors' or dentists' offices. Well, doesn't she have that right, I mean to keep her desk that way? After all, she does teach business. And what better way to emphasize the impor- tance of having all of your im- portant things at your finertips than to have it filed under I know where everything is. Mrs. Curle asked for shelves to be installed last summer. Why? She says it was to help keep everything organized. How true. Mrs. Curle must have tons of handouts to help her students leam, but where in the world could she ever put them? I'm sure that there have to be some teachers with clean desks. After all, what are file cabinets for? Maybe they' re wrong. Maybe the people who said that a clean desk is a sure sign of a sick mind were wrong. After all, even teachers who have neat desks must be somewhat sane. They're here teaching us. -Al. 'ld I ,lin Il ih' 151.92 A ' 2 -Ai? D Eddie Allen-P.

Faculty and Staff 135 Have you ever noticed how one person in the class may get a little more attention than others? Well, it's true. And what are they called? That's right-they're the 'teacher's pet'. But teachers have other types of pets, too. Take, for example, Mrs. Gulick. Now, Mrs. Gulick is infamous for her cats. She only started out with one just a few years ago, and how they have multiplied! And by geometric progression, too. Now, after picking up strays and allowing those to breed, she has about twenty to twenty-five of those fabulous furry felines. Little does anyone know that it's Mr. Gulick who loves them even more. Mrs. Gulick tells us that it is her husband who doesn't mind not spaying those lovable creatures. And why should they? They have adopted all of them as their kids. Mrs. Mercer's love of cats is just as great as the Gulicks'. But there's only one problem. She's allergic to them. I have them all around, but I can't touch them. If I did, it would set of a con- tinual sneezing convention. Fortunately for her, her secret pal knew just what she liked, so Mrs. Mercer received 'cat' gifts for holidays and her birthday. Mrs. Curle is a cat lover, too, but in a little different way. Her cuddling days are over, she says. Instead, she prefers to watch her cat sit on the back of the couch and open the back door with his paws. Many people can't believe it, but it is true. Just ask her son, Todd. Many teachers have the usual dogs or cats around their house, but Miss Radcliff has a pet bird. This is no ordinary bird. This is her friend, her confidant who listens to the events of her day and hungrily eats away at its food. Goldfish are the pets of Mrs. Bell's children. Goldfish are just nice to look at, she says. You don't have to bathe them, walk them, or let them out of the house. Goldfish are typical pets for that household. Just notice Mrs. Bell's neatness. Cats and dogs just wouldn't do. Have you ever befriended a wild squirrel? Well, Miss White did. Not only was the squirrel willing to go to her for food, it was willing to be tamed for a household pet. Miss White told us that the squirrel doesn't ex- actly live in the house, but lives in a cage built for it by a friend. Miss West must have some of the most unusual pets around-two ferrets. Jamie Miss Ftadcliffs pet bird makes great company. Like so many others, this teacher pampers her pet. After all, what would life be like without a pet. While most teachers have dogs or cats, only a select few have unusual household pets. 136 Faculty and Staff Teachers Pet Ferret, two and one-half, and Kiri Ferret, only one and one- half, stay inside most of the time. Their diet consists of dry Purina Cat Chow...and sometimes shoe laces and human fingers. Those two playful little creatures have uninhibited personalities suited to almost anyone.

Summer just wasn't long en- ough to invite friends over. No. ot student friends, but teacher 'ends Just as quickly as the summer tarted, it ended. School soon ecame a daily routine with ometimes exhausted and frus- ated faculty. So, what did they o when the sun went down? et's ask them and see. Night always reinforces the leep habit. After a tiring day, ome teachers went home to a ompletely comformtable living oom where, after a few hours f reading, they fell asleep on he couch. Others went home to atch up on daily soaps that had een taped on their VCR during chool hours. And many went ome to prepare and eat dinner ith their families. But what about those eachers on the weekends? hat were they really like? ere their weekends full of the rudgery of grading papers and making up tests to stump students during the next week? No way. Richmond was the place to be. Without the variety of restu- arants in the area, many teachers found an excuse to go out to eat. Darryl's in the west end is my favorite place to eat on a Friday night after a hard week, one teacher said. Others found a wide variety of entrees at several restuarants in Richmond. Another teacher preferred having friends over to watch David Letterman. And still others preferred to rent a movie for the night. While restuarants and movies may not be your favorite things of interest, some other teachers recruited friends to play Putt- Putt golf or to go to Virginia Beach for the weekend. Then there were those teachers who were club sponsors and who were present at dances sponsored by their t O organizations. Coaches, like sponsors, were visible at every game-home and away. With the prom came a lot of excitement among the junior class. Invitations were sent to teachers who looked forward to seeing their students all dressed up on such a special occassion. That night, students were able to see teachers let their hair down to become a little more real. Teachers dancing was obviously one of the most dis- cussed topics the next Monday. So, what's wrong with that? They are real people too. For one of the first times, we were able to see the fun that they could have with us. Even Mr. Geiger danced at the prom. The Martins made their way onto the floor without the first trace of hesitation. Other faculty couples also danced to fast and slow music. So, you see, teachers can have fun.

This was the idea he was looking for. Kelly and Mrs. Sly, the SADD adviser, discussed the idea and decided upon the best way to put it into action. Sovran Bank in Richmond was approached with the idea of computerizing the lights of various offices to light up the anti-drug message. Unfortunately, Sovran could not comply with the request due to other tenants in the building. However, Kelly would not take 'no' for an answer. He tried again. This time, Virginia Power was approached with the idea. It worked. Within just a few short weeks, the company would program every room's lights to spell out the message No Drugs, No Way . Not only was the message lit during two weeks around the Thanksgiving holidays, but the Christmas season spectators saw it, too. It may never be known, but it is hoped that lives were saved because of an idea of a student concemed about his peers and the cooperation of one of Virginia's largest corporations. Thanks to a student who likes good ideas and a cooperative corporation, this anti-drug message was sent to thousands of passersby. Kelly Chestnufs idea was publicized by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Albemarle, Amelia, Buckingham, Charles City ,... King and Queen, King William, New Kent, Nottoway, Nottingham ,... This made the ninth school day we were out due to snow. When were we going back to school? Little did anyone realize that with September, the summer heat wave would continue into the fall. School was dismissed early for several days. Temperatures rose to a record 920+ before 10 A.M. Sweat formed on foreheads and the thick, humid air seemed to make breathing, the simplest human function, much harder even after just sitting in a class- room. Classrooms never seemed to provide students with enough ventilation for any comfort. Backs of shirts soaked with sweat clung to chairs and legs seemed to perspire an un- usual type of glue that worked only on the hottest of days. Fall, an uneventful as usual brought with it no real weather changes. Hot weather seemed to be prevalent, but that soon Typical winter scenes of snow and ice were found in most neighborhoods and all backroads. Sloping hills made a great playground for sledders and snow covered vacant lots served as winter-time football fields. Fire and Ice changed into bitter cold weather that lasted until late March. For four-plus weeks, students and teachers alike watched and waited for snow to close school for an unpredictable amount of time. There was only one problem: we couldn't leave on a trip due to the risk that in- climate weather brought with it. Also, who would know if school would be in session the next day? Winter snow football was the game of the season.

With Mrs. Woodson's help, the o managed to get Mrs. May's room leaned for the summer. n support of all school functions and he students who organized them, -vtrs. May had her photograph taken or the yearbook. Mrs May was an En- glish teacher at New Kent for about enty-five years. X I Love You, Mom! I'm going to throw this eraser at you if you're not quiet! That phrase, often the threat, but never the reality, was often heard in the room of a great woman, Irene May: Today is one of many days in which we cannot see her, but only remember the joy and laughter she brought into so many lives. ' While yearbook dedications are a bit archaic, fond memories are the thread which holds together the past and shapes the future. Thanks to Mrs. May we can remember the caring concern and love that came from the heart and through the kind words and that she often spoke. She is no longer with us. Only a few weeks after her retirement, death took her peacefully and us by surprise. Never again would students be able to tell her they loved her. And she can never reciprocate their affection. And stories of her past years' classroom ex- periences would never again be enjoyed by her colleagues. But these things are not the things which we should regret. Instead, we should be so happy that Mrs. May found such love and care in her heart enough to keep teaching even when ill. Her commitment to not only education, but to the county was evidenced in her life begin- ning many years ago and en- ding only at her retirement. There were times I used to visit every home of every student I had, she often said. I knew every family in the county then and I would take my daughter with me to visit every student and his or her family. Others have also mentioned the times when she used to keep soap, washcloths, and towels in her desk drawer for students who did not have running water at home. She was interested in each student personally. She even had staple foods in her classroom to distribute to families who did not have the money to buy food. Mrs. May often invited students to her home for the weekend for slumber parties. Those were the days,', she used to say in reference to those years when her vitality ensured active participation from her students. Whether it was in class or outside of school, Mrs. May made the difference in so many lives. While she is gone physically, Mom, as she was often re- ferred to, really lives on. Her wise words are often remembe- red by students who graduated years ago. One former student commented, She knew so much. And she had so much to offer. Thank goodness for memories. This time they're wonderful.

Frequent concertgoers were found everywhere-the Ham- pton and Richmond Coliseums and even Norfolk Scope and Washington D.Cfs JFK Stadium. School nights were typical nights for most concerts, but that didn't stop the majority of the population from going to see their favorite groups, any- way. How about this combination? David Lee Roth and Hank Williams, Jr. Sound pretty funny? Believe it or not, many students like both of these performers. Heavy Metal and Country were enjoyed by many. Whether your taste is Top 40, Heavy Metal, New Wave, Country, Jazz, there was something for everyone. But most frequented concerts that featured performances by U2, Bryan Adams, Billy Joel, Fat Boys, Bon Jovi, and Journey. Memorobalia always gave away those who attended con- certs the previous night. Tee shirts were the most popular concerts purchase, followed by tapes, albums, and CDs. Because tapes and tape players were not allowed at school for leisurely listening purposes, tee shirts were the status symbol. Conversations about the performance were typical of most students, whether they attended or not. So what happened to homework that was supposed to be done by those affected by concert-itis? Most students found that their teachers expec- ted it to be done, anyway. So, as soon as school was over, it was off to home to complete it all...before the concert.

Beth Dean, looking for a job, applied at several places before deciding on the Williamsburg Karen Uhler's job as a bus girl at the Colonial Flestuarant proved to be profitable. Not only did Karen earn en- ough money to support her entertain- ment habit, but she also made friends with other students who she had not known before.

Not only did she work during the summer, but she worked into the fall as well. Erik Opperman's job at Chuck's Supermarket in Providence Forge kept him extremely busy during the year. Many times, he could not stay for ex- tracurricular activities because of his job. 'tThey want me to work, so I can't stay today. l'm really sorry, Erik said apologetically. Some students were fortunate that their em- ployers allowed them the time off to participate in sports and clubs during the year. The schedule conflict was solved because those students agreed to work on weekends. People enjoyed their work or simply endured it. Money was only one reward. Making friends was another.

So, what do you think? Was it unpredictable? Spring came along and brought with it the expected heat and new fashions. Back came the jams and shorts, but new to the season were crop pants and cut-off sweats. Shirts and blouses were both bright, colorful, and designed- filled. At noon on May 14, a bell rang to commemorate the bicentennial of the U. S. Con- stitution. Many events were beginning to take place in celebration of this event. Along with frustrated, hot and tired teachers, custo- dians, cafeteria staffers, and principals, were secretaries. Friday morning Morning Bulletins were frequently headed Thank God lt's Fri- day!!! Thank goodness school was almost over. Upperclassmen who had the advantage of a car headed for the beach at every sign of a break. The heat that came with the last few weeks of school was rough. With temperatures in the 80s and 90s, the heat and humidity made con- centrating difficult. During those scorching days, even the most serious students worked hard to persuade teachers to give into breaks. Some were successful, but most were not tempted by such frequent requests. Many field trips were taken during the spring months. Spanish Ill students experi- enced the culture of a Spanish Folklore Ballet. For those who had seen traditional ballet, the Folklore Ballet was not typical 158 Closing of what was expected. Con- sumer Math students discove- red the frustration of not being able to attain all the money at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Students were only slightly appeased with a package of shredded money equivqlent to S80 before beginning their tour. For those unexposed to art, the art field trip to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond was an unique experience-an ex- perience that most students had never had. Spring brought with it also much happiness and yet by Joanne McLaughlin anxiety. Seniors experienced happiness because high school was going to be soon over. Yet those same seniors were wary over leaving the comfortable environment of school and friends. Under- classmen felt these feelings for much the same reasons. Many were happy to see the end of another grueling year, yet soon to regret the absence of their graduating friends. Yes, it is all over. The work, the laughter, thejoy, the frustr- ation, but most of all, the un- predictability of it all...or is it?! Just wait 'til next year. i: flg. 51 Trust proved to be important as Jill Wood led Darryl Cahoon and Carly Trader through now unfamiliar hall- ways during a Sociology experiment. i 5 E s Z t E 9 it Jill Wood laughs hysterically as others gaze in disbelief. Only Jill knows that the gorilla is actually a singing valent- ine for her boyfriend, Kelly Chestnut. Marenda Sowers gives David Blount a kiss to wish him luck in a j.v. baseball ?ame. Scenes like this one are not Jequently found during the school ay. Closing 159 Mr. Geiger's reaction to the Just Say NO To Drugs theme during SADD week was Just say NO to balloon rides. Mr. Geiger soon ducked in the balloon to avoid experiencing his tear of heights as the balloon tethered above the buildings. Shannon Tucker finds a soft shoulder to rest her head on. Shannon and Nadine Derowitsch had only a limited supply of energy for the long, hard practices at summer band camp. 160 Closing ,SQA ST! I MV
