Osbourn 1973-74 Hi-Jacket, Volume 29 PHMCE WILLIAM PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM Prtnce William, VA But this year was going to be unique and students looked at their school in a different way. In January Osbourn’s population would inhabit the new Osbourn Park High School. Once again Osbourn opened its doors to another school year. 2 ¥ 3 Students anxiously awaited January’s of being on one shift. Many hoped to leave halls which were deteriorating due to tuu� 4 bright promise the cherished years of overuse. 5 Delays in construction sprang up and the moving date was postponed. 11 ft i-i As a result, doubt and pessimism spread their thin veil over Osborun. 6 More delays and problems arose and occupation of the new school was put off again and again. 7 But other tilings contributed to the questions in peoples minds— 8 government swarmed with scandals, war Mid-East, a gas crisis hurt the world and other events led to A Year of Ymm 3 erupted in the economy.

The routine was broken up somewhat in the early days of school by heat days. These were days when the mercury hovered in the nineties and classrooms became unbearably hot. Second shift was dismissed early while first shift complained. Some other novel things happened in the beginning of the school year. The country’s Vice President de¬ cided to resign and a war started be¬ tween the Arabs and the Jews. But we also had the run-of-the-mill things at Osbourn. The usual schedule mix-ups that somehow always got blamed on the computer were a common complaint among students. There was a dis¬ couraging football season, a winning girls’ basketball team, cross country meets, and an exciting Homecoming weekend. Top left, Mark Perko is pushed down by two large opponents.

Queen Bees Try for Crown- Only Second The consistently winning teams Coach Nancy Huff has produced gave Os¬ bourn’s sports a new dimension of vic¬ tory. The girls’ performances were a source of hope and pride for the entire school. The Girls’s Varsity basketball team reached the finals in the District Tournament. However, the champion¬ ship was just out of their grasp as they lost to an overpowering Gar-field at¬ tack. With the victory filled season other bright spots included the All- County performances of Hess Stuart and Lisa Hewitt. The winningest coach at Osbourn an¬ nounced that this year was to be her last basketball coaching season, but prom¬ ised to continue as softball coach. Next year’s basketball coach will enter a team that has a tradition of victory. Stretching, Kathy Peters tries to get that rebound. Giving that extra push, Barb Brown makes two points. Penton, well guarded by the opposition, shoots blocked. Lisa Hewitt gets the jump. Soph¬ omore Cheri Morrow looks for a play to set up. As graceful as ever, Donna Penton chalks up two more points. 15 Little Bees Aided by Ms. Barnes, a new P.E. in¬ structor at OHS, the Little Bees pulled tlirough many victories, end¬ ing their season in third place. Sec¬ ond unfortunately went to Wood- bridge, who managed to sink a free throw in the playoff game with the Little Bees, thus robbing them of sec¬ ond place. This exciting game lasted through two tied overtime periods and with just a few seconds left in the extra quarter Woodbridge scored their point. The girls’ teamwork and strategy seemed to work well, especially with some of the new plays Coaeh Barnes added to their practice hours. These plays gave the girls a chance to de- velope a press and work on fast breaks, which helped them in their fine season. Upon the retirement of Ms. Huff as girls’ varsity basketball coach a space will be left unfilled in the OHS coaching staff. Ms. Barnes will fill this opening, with hopes to drive the Queen Bees to the championships, as she did with the Little Bees. 16 OSH Opponent 33 Stafford 13 13 James Monroe 15 33 Fauquier 21 won Stonewall Jackson 26 Gar-Field 31 43 Quantico 13 32 Brentsville 20 won° Woodbridge lost 0 Stonewall Jackson 18 Gar-Field 33 33 Quantico 8 20 Brentsville 19 12 Woodbridge 22 Playoff 32 Woodbridge 33 These scores were unobtainable.

Freshman Bentley Watkins scrounges for every inch against Handley Vi ■ 19 A Building Year Perhaps newly-arrived line coach Chuck Hornfeck best summed up the entire season with this comment made in the first week of practice, “This is the first place that I’ve ever been where guys threw up during calisthenics.” For second year coach Karl Kuhn this year’s 0-10 season couldn ' t have been very satisfying. During the sea¬ son the Osbourn roster hovered around 25 men, which means that several players had to play both of¬ fense and defense. The high point of the season came against second-ranked Fauquier. The Yellow Jacket defense held the Fal¬ cons to 18 points in sub-freezing weather. Three Yellow Jackets made the All-County team, these individ¬ ual standouts where: senior—Terence Frame, end; junior—Ronnie Watkins, defensive end; and junior Ricky Woodward, tackle. David Thompson goes down under fire against Handley. Coiled and ready to strike, the OHS offense attempts to psych-out its opponent. Terence Frame is spotted by George Kele- check as Stonewall defenders move in. Bob Frazier’s eyes seem to have fallen out of his head as a pass slips beyond his grasp. Coaches Kuhn and Hornfeck contemplate their next move. ?0 mmm Football Suffers Defeat The Hi-Jacket staff at this time ex¬ presses a direct challenge to the stu¬ dent body of Osbourn Senior High School, a challenge to get involved, a challenge to excell. We can only find praise for the coaches and the deter¬ mined students who find the time and the courage to go out and repre¬ sent our school on the athletic fields. Athletics at Osbourn have hit a low point, the only way to go is up. Now it is up to the OHS student body to make certain sacrifices in order to gain new respect and pride for our school. Now get involved! Quarterback Donald Rhodes scrambles for ev¬ ery extra inch against Stonewall. Bentley Wat¬ kins makes a tight turn as David Thompson (31) watches for would-be tacklers.

The three Senior choices were Candy Caudle, Kathy Zangas and Dee Christopher. The Homecoming parade came through town and included class floats, the band and floats by several clubs. During halftime of the game, the court and their escorts were driven around the track. When the final mo¬ ment arrived it was discovered that Kathy Zangas would be the new Homecoming Queen. In this joyful time she was crowned by last year’s Queen, Grace Dunaway. Being driven around the track are Senior rep¬ resentatives Kathy Zangas, Dee Christopher and Candy Caudle. Freshmen representatives were Denise Messhall and Ginny Waldron. Crowned Homecoming Queen for 1974 is Kathy Zangas. Dr. Rhoads and the drum ma¬ jor watch tlie proceedings.

Another sophomore representative is Candy Snellenberger. 25 Zodiac The theme for the Homecoming dance this year was “The Zodiac.” Along with the theme were appro¬ priate decorations with each sign of die zodiac. Music was provided by the band Soul Explosion. Tasty re¬ freshments were also served. Featured at the dance is the band Soul Ex¬ plosion. In the parade, the Key Club’s float won first place. Three members of the group Soul Explosion are shown. Everyone enjoyed the dance, including this Osbourn alumnus. This band player has a fine performance. Ms. Kessler also enjoyed the Homecoming dance. 26 27 Kiddie Day To help raise spirit among the stu¬ dent body the cheerleaders spon¬ sored a Kiddie Day with the theme “Jackets Don’t Kid Around! Free tickets to the football game were ob¬ tained by shouting “Beat Stonewall to a ticket holder. Many students re¬ sponded and dressed up as children. The cheerleaders proclaimed Kiddie Day a success, even though the game wasn’t. Girl Scout Mike Van Horn is busy in typing class. Walter Lund is a Mickey Mouse fan.

I have a right to sleep at least until the sun comes Such were the comments heard from first shift students when a daylight savings time law was put into effect. Under the new law, Osbournites got up before the sun and went to school in the dark. First shift students and teachers found themselves walking to school with flashlights, standing at the bus stop wearing a florescent coat, or driving down Grant Ave. with their high beams on. First pe¬ riod teachers were frustrated when their classes stopped everything to watch the sun rise. The Energy Crisis and other world problems held the attention of many, but less interested Osbournites could fill their time with other things. These things were (among others) basketball, wrestling, a Christmas Dance, gymnastics, Miss Osbourn, and even the Talent Show. Top far left, a tree etches it’s cold outline against the sky.

Lower right, wrestling an¬ other winter sport, began with high hopes. For Coach Robert Mi ller the 73-74 wrestling season was tolerable. Wres¬ tling standouts were seniors Dayll Raymond and Gary Larsen. A very few people were leaving and the next year’s outlook is promising. A reverse! And two points for Osbourn against tough Garfield. “One-on-one”, two deter¬ mined opponents are locked in mortal com¬ bat. Dayll Raymond plasters his opponent to the mats.

Saturday, Febru¬ ary 23, was the show night and ev¬ erything went perfectly. For about two hectic months, mem¬ bers of the Class of 75 had worked late nights on the show, and after many changes, an acceptable pro¬ gram was found. Barbara Brown and Rodney Moyers served as M.C.’s and the show ran a very smooth two hours. During the final intermission five distinguished judges met to decide who the win¬ ners of the $25, $15, and $10 prizes would be. T he winners were, third-place Laura Smith, second-place James Dayton, and the first place winners were Patty and Kathy Zangas. The $200 made on the show went a long way towards making the prom the smashing success it was. 36 Performers Snow White and Seven Dwarves on stage.

Lounging on the piano, Cindy Merritt entertains. 39 40 For Art Payne, second year coach of the Jackets, this year’s 2-18 record could not have been very satisfying. Plagued by lack of height and experi¬ ence, this year’s basketball team will go down as one of the poorest on record. There were some bright spots though in this sometimes hopeless pitch. Johnny Ray Morrisey, senior guard, was eighth in the state in total scoring and will be remembered as one of the greatest basketball players ever to don the Osbourn Blue and Gold. Morrisey averaged over twenty points a game and was an in¬ valuable defensive player. The two wins of the year were a vic¬ tory over Fauquier and a decision over fifth ranked Albemarle. A thrill¬ ing nip-and-tuck battle throughout the game, the Yellow Jackets were behind by five with less than twenty seconds left. With three seconds showing on the clock, the Jackets had closed to within one point. Morrisey got the ball and after an inspiring bill court drive she the winning two points. Chaos spread rampant across the gym, emotions ran high as Johnny Ray Morrisey cut the net, ending an otherwise depressing sea¬ son on a jubilant note. Shooting from six feet out, Paul Garrison fights against Handley as johnny Morrisey awaits the rebound. Morrisey bounds bv a passle of Handley defenders for two points. The aetion is fast and furious as Bill Gregory keeps the ball in bounds. Kevin Rhoads and Bill Gregory hope for a Handley blunder.

Johnny Morrisey raises his hands dutifully after having a foul called on him. 43 Gymnastics “We ll work on being graceful now that we have the basics,” stated Coach Turner as he projected into the future of next year’s girls’ gym¬ nastics team. A transfer from Brents- ville Jr. High, Ms. Turner enjoyed her first year at Osbourn as she coached her team to two wins in five meets. All the gymnasts will return next year except senior Ruth Lynch. This year, as in the past, Ruth captured many firsts in all-around com¬ petition. Other team members were Leigh Ann Dowell, unevens; Lisa Haynes and Karen Rice, floor exer¬ cises; Bonnie Thomasson, vaulting; Mary Beth Dowell and Chris Draz- dowsky, balance beam; and Martha Derring in three of the four events. A happy moment in this year’s gymnas¬ tics came when Karen Swenson won first place honors in the District Meet in vaulting. Focusing her attention on fundamen¬ tal acrobatic skills this year, Ms. Turner expects her young squad to improve in grace as well as in scores in the coming season. Martha Derring shows her team spirit as Judy Hilton prepares for her routine. Karen Swen¬ son displays her good form in floor exercises.

To their surprise and delight, the assembly wasn’t boring—quite contrary. An exciting performance on Oriental martial arts came in the form of Mike Crane, who has been featured in Sports Illustrated and in several television programs. Osbourn students discovered why he has been so honored. Mr. Crane began by telling the back¬ ground of karate, kung-fu and other arts. He then used his knowledge and technique to divide several boards in half. Next students and faculty be¬ came involved in the show. Barbara English learned that it wasn’t easy to hold her hand still when she knew a crushing force might destroy it as well as the potato she held. Charlie Mobley and David Wood had the delight of having a potato sliced in two on their stomachs by a swiftly moving sword. Lawrence Sullivan and James Ashby were shown that they couldn’t be muggers if Mike Crane were around—he could easily get out from their arm locks. The most enjoyed demonstration was Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Seese having a chance to have their heads severed by Mr. Crane’s sword. But no, Mike Crane was far too good to injure any of the participants, and everyone, even those who had felt at the point of death, enjoyed the show. 46 Pulverizing boards with his bare hands, Mike Crane applies his skill without encountering a scratch. Locking in tight, Janies Ashby, al¬ though larger, is still no match for Mike Crane. Giggling nervously, Barbara English awaits destruction of either her hand or the potato. Concentrating intensely, Mike Crane prepares a quick slice of the potato without harming David Wood, while off-stage viewers wait breathlessly. Unafraid of students, the couragous Mr. Seese stiffens in preparation for the coining sword. 47 IL r L 4. jte tip A Grecian Paradise The Miss Osbourn Pageant was an exciting night for all but especially for Kathy Zangas who was crowned Miss Osbourn 1974. Debbie Calevro and Barbara Carlton were runners- up. With the theme of A Grecian Paradise, and with Dale Raymond as MC, the pageant was a sure success. Intermission entertainment was pro¬ vided by Ms. Boley, Duane Tibbets, and the Southern 7. Seniors put on the show with the creative and tal¬ ented help of Ms. Keen and Ms. Gattis.

Many of the games were squea¬ kers, for instance, a 7-6 loss to Gar- Field in nine innings. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh and a Gar-Field Indian on first, Osbourn was leading 6-4, and wouldn’t you know it, a home run, 6-6. Another heartbreaker was the 7-6 loss to powerful Lane. Three Jackets connected for home runs, John Mar¬ tin and Danny Marshall each had one and Terence Frame smashed a three- run and a solo homer. Pitcher Gary Pearson was the work¬ horse of the team, at times pitching in consecutive games without a rest. A fine pitcher, Gary’s record doesn’t do him justice. Another standout was centerfielder Robert Brooks, who had a .390 aver¬ age and made some timely catches. Osbourn’s two wins were an 8-4 vic¬ tory over James Monroe, and a 4-1 decision over Fauquier to end the season with a winning note. Coach Bailess was, to say the least, frustrated with the season, which for him must have been one of the long¬ est on record. Third baseman Paul Walters takes a swing. The bench lends support to a Jacket batter. A ground ball and Zarco Ellis sprints for home. Steve Fischer takes a throw at first as Robbie Hair lends moral support.

They all pos¬ sessed so much spirit and teamwork,” she boasted, “which in crucial mo¬ ments helped us to overpower our opponents playoff The Championship was a difficult game. Having played the team twice before in the season, and just barely winning, Osbourn knew a fight could be expected from Gar-Field, who was eager to take the Queen Bees’ crown. The game was an exciting one, in which the final score was 12- 9. The Queen Bees took the county title. The game was played at Ben Lo¬ mond, a neutral field where the spectators saw beautiful plays, hits and runs by the Bees, a team that should have won without the play¬ offs. Osbourn had an 8-0 record with two remaining teams to play, both badly beaten in previous matches. However, with overconfidence two unpredicted game results occurred. This took Osbourn to the playoffs. Championship hopes are in next year’s team too, although five start¬ ers will have graduated.

Good hitting (as shown by Barb Christopher and Donna Penton), scoring (like Lisa Hew¬ itt’s slide into the plate), fielding and pitching (such as Joy Zimbro’s fine throws) results in a happy team. i 63 The OHS Girls’ Track team finished their scheduled season with a 3-3 record, and placed second to Gar¬ field in the county championships. This year’s team was coached by a new P.E. instructor, Ms. Barnes, who had many plans to make girl’s track more popular. She made every effort to encourage and work with the girls, assigning different daily workouts. The Queen Bees were a large team, with just a few short of forty staying the season through the harfl workouts and the nerve-wracking meets. Many outstanding performers such as Kathy Zangas, Hess Stuart and Deb¬ bie Kratzer were seniors and would be leaving, but dedicated runners like Julie Mogenis, Audree Olsen and the freshmen members would be back the following year. For eight girls on the team the season lasted past the County Meet. They went on to regionals in Mt. Jackson, where our 880 relay team, Audry Ol¬ sen, Hess Stuart, Debbie Kratzer and Kathy Zangas, placed third, Julie Mogenis placed fifth in the 880 yard run and Kathy Zangas took fifth in the 440 yard run. All of these girls were eligable for the Virginia State Track and Field Meet at Garfield. Unfortunately there were no out¬ standing performances, but determi¬ nation is high to get to State again next year. . Girls’ Track Sprints Into Second Place in Comity 64 Audrey Olsen and Julie Mogenis warm up for their events. Winning again, Hess Stuart takes the 100 in her heat. Good handoffs are an es¬ sential part of relays. Julie Mogenis finishes second in the 880.

Showing confidence in their team, the crowd boosts the runners’ spirits. 65 Swinging beautifully, David Wood watches his shot go soaring through the air. Coach Sudduth proudly displays the district cham¬ pions’ trophy. Pondering his next shot, Brion Smith studies the course. Osbourn felt the glory of victory this year due to the fantastic playing of the golf team. Lead by coach Barry Sudduth the club-swinging group ob¬ tained a 10-3 record, thus enabling them to go on to the District Cham¬ pionship match. At the District match Ben Hynson, Brion Smith, David Wood and Pete Mueller defeated Albermarle and Stonewall for the championship. The victors then went to Regionals and placed sixth out of thirteen teams. District Champions 68 Jit! Track Sprinting, jogging, pacing, and weight lifting were all part of Coach Kuhn’s and Coach Hornfeck’s train¬ ing schedule. The boys worked hard and ran on different computerized training levels, but all this gained only one win. Certain individuals though always placed and scored for Osbourn. Da¬ vid Thompson, for instance, brought home many honors as did Bobby Pauly, Richard Tales, Curtis Muddi- man and Rick Woodward. Rick was the only one on the team to qualify for regionals, but Coach Kuhn be¬ lieves next year a tremendous track team will arise and Osbourn will give the other schools in the district competition. Later on in the season a climax was reached. Our team broke two of Os¬ bourn’s long standing track and field records at the Rappahannock Relays. A relay team of Curtis Muddiman, Jay Long, Mark Grant, and Bobby Pauly broke both the two and four mile relay set by previous Osbourn runners. Leaping over the hurdles is Jerry Smith. Sail¬ ing through the air, David Thompson broad jumps. Oscar King slips over the bar. John Zangas plugs along. Rick Woodward heaves the shot. Leading the pack is Curtis Middi¬ man. Suspended in mid-air, Keith Parker makes it over the high jump. Jim Beale pre¬ pares to land. Runners strain at the finish line. 69 The tennis team, lead by number one man Geoffry Hayden, finished the season with a fine record. Geoff went through the season without a single loss; however, his unblemished record came to an end at the Re¬ gional Tournament. Playing ex¬ cellent games against the first man from Woodbridge Hayden’s oppo¬ nent prevailed. Overall the tennis team was well rounded, having both experience and talent. According to tennis coach Mr. Will, next year’s team should be just as strong. The only members that will be absent from the team next year will be Kevin Rhoades and Larry Wong. Besides bringing home victories the tennis team featured a new attrac¬ tion. It became a co-ed racket with Melanie Gillum, the first girl on the team. Mr. Will has strong faith in Melanie, believeing that if she can overcome her shyness she may go from ninth to first man—uh, woman . . . how about person? 70 Preparing to serve is Brad Young. Battling it out, the Yellow Jackets play doubles. Tom Doolittle attempts to ace his opponent. Larry Wong returns a serve.

Tennis 71 Centered around the theme “The Wizard of Oz,” this year’s Prom was a success due to the hard work of sev¬ eral dedicated juniors under the lead¬ ership of President Mike Van Horn. The hall was decorated with things from the land of Oz, including the Wicked Witch of the West. The at¬ mosphere was almost like that of the movie. Most who attended took ad¬ vantage of the music of Cape Horn and the various refreshments. 72 Prom 1974 Left, Barbara Carlton and Alan Johnson ap¬ pear to be enjoying themselves.

The Symphonic Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Bill Criswell and the Osbourn Band, with the leadership of Mr. Frank Me- site gave excellent performances. The profits of the fine show were given to the Manassas Association for Retarded Children. 76 Concentrating on a difficult phrase, Betsy Bean cellos on. During a break, Mr. Mesite presents the proceeds to the representative of the Manassas Association for Retarded Chil¬ dren. Raising his arms high, Mr. Criswell em¬ phasizes a crescendo. Mr. Mesite keeps time while the band plays a soft number. Carefully watching the director is Beverly DeLong. Mr. Criswell and the Symphonic Orchestra make sweet music together. Under the skillful direction of Ms. Boley the Choir presented an eve¬ ning of fine entertainment. With the theme “It’s a Grand Night for Sing¬ ing” the group did hit numbers from the Broadway shows “Cabaret,” “Showboat,” “South Pacific,” and “Hello Dolly.” Twirling her umbrella, Christie Polen strolls across the stage. Ms. Boley directs her group. Singing away, the Madrigals give a wonderful performance. The show’s performers assemble for a bow. Brad Yount and Cindy Merritt sing their hearts out. Stepping high, can-can girls do a number from “Cabaret.” Decked out in a sailor’s garb, the boy’s chorus sing a tune from “South Pacific.” Gorgeous like usual, Walter Lund emerges from the audience. 78 A Grand Night 79 ■oblein.s and bad onstruction for sot worse.

' 0Kv: weather slov months, and t rom ini « Osbourn Park Last year an announcement in the dailv bulletin concerning the 72-73 Hi-Jacket’s sales drive read “Be sure to reserve your copy of Osbourn’s last yearbook.” This was not false ad¬ vertising; at that time it was a com¬ mon belief among students that the next yearbook would bear the name Osbourn Park High School. Unfortu¬ nately, this was not the case. blunders the students of Osbourn High School are still inhabiting the oldest high school in Prince William County. To date, Osbourn Park is only three-fourths completed, months past its scheduled completion date and $135,000 over its desig¬ nated cost. The move is now sched¬ uled for November, nine months late. The first prophetic signs of disaster came in 1972 in the beginning of construction. The new $7.4 million, 2,500 student complex was un knowgly xitiugf pr a major shale fault. Excavaf Walls collapsed, roofing leaked, pipes were cut too long or too short. A 16-inch concrete floor was poured with no sleeves in place for pipes and heating ducts to pass through, and as yet it hasn’t been decided whether or not the school’s roof was built ac¬ cording to design of if the copper flashing on the wall joints was put on backwards. Ranger Construction Company of Atlanta, the general contractor for Osbourn Park blames unusually se¬ vere weather and the unexpected shale fault for delays tion Because of numerous delays and nh m W: P ; ' : wS 11 Pill mm « pfes l ■ jSIBP WMP . v.

This may be Osbourn’s last yearbook but somehow the Hi-facket staff does not feel optimistic enough to use it as a sales pitch. A lawyer for the Prince William School Board says that Ranger Con¬ struction Company is “being forced to bear the cost burden of these mis¬ takes and they’re hurting.” He also doubts that they will meet the most recent contract deadlines and be¬ lieves they will end up paying at least $82,500 for damages. For the residents of Prince William County, the nation’s fastest growing large county according to the 1970 census, and the students of Osbourn High School, who are on split shifts and still crowded, the money is not going to do much good; the most im¬ the engineering data supplied to them by the School Board. According to Dr. Ernest Mueller, Prince Williams’s Assistant School Superintendent for Administration, Ranger’s blunders include; hundreds of feet of building footings excavated and poured in the wrong place, leaky plumbing and gas lines that had to be dug up and reinstalled, over 100 feet of five feet high brick facing built without steel reinforcements, numer¬ ous pipe hangers and concrete sleeves installed in the wrong place, the wrong size or not at all, and still other outlandish foul-ups. As in past years, the seniors decided to descend upon Caeapon State Park in West Virginia to release their pen- ned-up frustrations after 12 years of school and to have a good time be¬ fore facing the world. There were gripes about the weather, the dis¬ tance to the park, (“we spent more time on the road to and from the place than we did there”) and the money needed when there—nothing was free. But despite this, the seniors enjoyed the swimming, boating, and all the other activities the park had to offer. 82 One of the reasons why Osbourn seniors keep coming back to Cacapon is its woodland beauty. Keeping the campfire going, Ms. Of- fterdinger works on getting the food ready for the hungry horde of seniors. “Where do we put all this stuff?” a group of slightly confused seniors ask on their arrival at the park. Wan¬ dering around, two senior girls enjoy the peace of the park. Vicki Walker beams after learning how to maneuver a paddle-boat.

Although some late-comers still had to stand, more friends and relatives could at¬ tend the meaningful proceedings. Being a time for reflection, seniors look back during Baccalaureate to the time when, as promoted juniors, senior portraits caused im¬ portant ponderings, and they look to the fu¬ ture too—to the day of graduation.

Long be¬ fore 8 o’clock on June 11 the crowd had been gathering to see the com¬ mencement exercises for the class of 1974. Some spectators remarked that the only way to get a seat was to be a senior, the bleachers held only a part of the mammoth gathering. Marching to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” the seniors filed to their seats. After the exercises had gotten under way, salutitorian Joyce Conner presented her feelings on the past four years. She was followed by Mr. William R. Murphy, the member of the House of Delegates represent¬ ing Prince William and Loudoun Counties, and a former principal of Osbourn. Valedictorian Brooksie Duncan continued the program after Mr. Murphy’s well received address with her own timely thoughts. Ex¬ citement rose as scholarships and awards were handed out to deserving seniors. During these proceedings added visitors viewed the cere¬ mony—a couple of wild rabbits tem¬ porarily disrupted the presentations while scampering across the field. Things returned to normal by the time Lawrence Sullivan received the Lipscomb Award. The ultimate ex¬ citement came with the presentation of diplomas to the over 300 seniors. Tears and thrilled laughter marked the end of 11, 12 or 13 years of long, hard work, and now the class of ’74 faced the world. Standing tall, valedictorian Brooksie Duncan proudly delivers her speech. One of the most active Osboumites, Lawrence Sullivan re¬ ceives the coveted Charles E. Lipscomb award. Joyce Conner presents her meaningful salutatory address to her audience. Laughing, crying, thinking, the class of ’74 files on to Swavely Field. 87 sr ■ What Was the Future Is Now the Present Beaming one of her famously enthusiastic smiles, Sally Kempf graciously accepts the Li- onette award. The podium goes to Mr. Seese, who introduces the guest speaker, Mr. Wil¬ liam R. Murphy, former principal of Osbourn. With that special exuberance only obtained by graduates, Conrad Barbee joyfully accepts his diploma from Mr. Bailey, as does Kathy Nugent, who wears that look of determina¬ tion. Solemnly paying attention, the men of the class of 74 listen to their last OHS lecture. Blending in their voices for one last occasion, the seniors sing with the concert choir. Mus¬ ing on their future, the women of the class of 74 ponder the speaker’s words. i?

Almost 40% of the class is going to college. Among those col¬ leges Madison and Northern Virginia Community College are the most popular. VPI was also chosen by many students to be their next alma mater. Comparatively few seniors are going to colleges not located in Virginia. This can be explained by the high tuition for out of state residents. The fields of study chosen by college bound students include psychology, speech therapy, biology, engineering, law enforcement, architecture, soci¬ ology, art, music, animal science, pre-nursing, radio, television, ele¬ mentary education and secretarial sciences. Eleven seniors are already married and in June several others will have taken matrimonial vows. About one-twelfth of the graduates are undecided about their plans for the future as they cannot decide be¬ tween college, marriage, or a job.

Gymnastics 173 Starting with a staff of eleven people, (almost twice as big as last year) Editor Debbie Crowe and sponsor Mr, Mike Scott, optimistic¬ ally assigned a section of the book to each person. The staff was enthusi¬ astic and planned a spring delivery book. Last year due to the lack of members and organization, four people had to work for three solid weeks after school was out to com¬ plete the book. These people were determined that this wouldn’t hap¬ pen again. But somehow it did. Dwindling at¬ tendance at mandatory meetings and deadlines passing by unnoticed were just minor problems. Hard working Assistant Editor, Cathy Roseberry was stricken with mononucleosis in February and was incapacitated until May. With a wedding planned for June Debbie became increasingly busy and in April was forced to quit. The editorship was left in the ca¬ pable hands of Kathy Nugent. This year’s book could not have existed without the indispensable help of the following people: Girls’ sports editor, Julie Mogenis; Business manager, Lenora Hofma; Copy and caption writing, layouts, Liz Nugent; Typing, copy writing and layouts, Diana Hassel; Boys’ sports copy, Mike Van Horn; Typing—Lisa Hew¬ itt, Girls’ Sports—Julie Mogenis and Photographers Larry Smith and Larry Wong. Top, from left to right; Former editor, Debbie Crowe leans against the wall.

This strange presence was especially felt by those who tried to keep up with local, national, and international af¬ fairs. This cloud could quickly come upon any group that taked about Os¬ bourn Park, gasoline, the School Board, Ranger Construction Com¬ pany, the paper shortage, Watergate and related subjects, plus many other debatable topics. Optimism could relieve the feeling. Happy sounds of the year included the Bob Dylan concert, girls’ softball, and the golf team, along with the an¬ nual euphoria over graduation, par¬ ties and making an A on an Algebra test that was a sure C. And even among the pessimism that infected too many people there was still the hope that the coming years would be cleaner, happier and less shadowy than this year of uncertainty. 191 Notes This book printed by Paragon Year¬ books, a division of Herff Jones, Montgomery, Alabama.
