Taking initiative, Mrs. Koman’s govern¬ ment classes collected money to charter a bus for a trip to Washington, D.C. after the plans were denied by the School Board. At the Capitol, they met with Senator John Warner. 2 Opening Six Hours a When you first walk through those glass doors in the lobby on the first day of school, you sense some new feelings. As for me, when l walked into the building Caught by surprise, Senior Terri Guinee flashes a big smile as she hurries down the hall to her next class. Taking advantage of the quiet setting in the li¬ brary, Freshman Bernie Newman and Sophomore Frank Johnson get a start on their homework. Day ... on August 30, the only thing l remember thinking was “Another 179 days until June 10 and graduation. Four years ago I had started on that journey people talk about all the time. I had “embarked upon the glory of my learn¬ ing years, as my fellow students philosophers friends all wrote in my freshman yearbook. I thought they were all crazy. After all, what was so great about another four years with a math book as a best friend? Better still, l think my truest friends so far have been Cliffs Notes. After some week-end acti¬ vities, l need all the help I can get to catch up! I studied, but I didn ' t keep my nose in the books. Perhaps I should have, but l wanted my high school years to be more than a monotonous series of grades. I spent an ample amount of timeand money at McDonald ' s. I went to the sports events, plays, and concerts. I went out with friends to the movies, and of course I partied along with everyone else. Examining the New York Stock Ex¬ change, Bob Kim takes a break from his studies. Bob graduated as valedictorian. Opening 3 As I marked the days off my calendar, I began to see what my friends meant in my fresh¬ man yearbook. Each day was new, and it was mine to do whatever I wished. The days were then weeks, and the weeks became years. There was something different for each of us every year; I just didn ' t know what it was. The freshmen are in theirfirstyear at high school, the sopho¬ mores aren ' t freshmen any¬ more, and the juniors get class rings to insure their promotion to upperclassmen. As for the seniors — we were all ready to face the world. The cycle begins anew each With only a few minutes left to cram for their English final, Stephanie Geisler checks through her notes hoping to answer Jennifer Breeden ' s questions. Senior Jim zahn stops at the corner of the upstairs hall. The halls were always crowded between classes, but they emptied quickly after 2:00. On Friday, June 10, the arrival of Prom pic¬ tures interrupted class study before exams.

Seniors took exams at the beginning of the week while the underclassmen finished on Friday. Junior Chris Maggio prepares for his last exam — English. First period — a time to wake up and gossip. During a lull, Edmund Burke once again tries to do his Math Analysis assignment from the day before during English class. Opening 5 6 special Events Divider More Than 5 Days Drag yourself out of bed on pens. Friday comes. All day a Monday with a groan. After the weekend, even a week of sleep wouldn ' t help us. Off to school, and tardy as usual, we go through the process once again. The days go by slowly, but by Thursday, things begin to look better. Then it hap- With a radiant smile, Junior Stephanie Geisler displays her formal dress at the Miss Osbourn Pageant. The contestants wore the formal dresses when they were introduced, and also when the winner was crowned. you squirm as the teacher lec¬ tures, and at lunch the topic of discussion is always, What ' s going on this weekend? When the bell rings at the end of the day, we leave for two days of freedom. Taking refuge in a quiet corner of the library, Senior Tracy Wright tries to catch forty winks during fifth period. Senior Annette Maier uses the time to study for a sixth period exam. Special Events Divider 7 Nervously biting her nails, Robyn Barton searches for friends and relatives after the cere¬ mony. After Mr. Egldi confirmed the diplomas, many senior guys lost their sombemess and threw their caps into the sky, sighing both relief and celebra¬ tion. 8 Special Events At Last, the Moment Arrives What ' s full of memories, laughter, sor¬ row, tears, and above all, happiness? Give up? Well, here are a few clues: It ' s the most awaited for activity in all high school years. It ' s the end and beginning of life. It ' s a senior ' s best friend. Preparations for it begin long before it actually begins. It ' s a major cause for partying. It ' s time for the one reigning group to leave and the next to step up. It ' s an occasion in which everyone ' s dressed one way or the other. It ' s expensive. It ' s when parents buy big gifts. It ' s a time for sending out announce¬ ments to all those proud relatives you don ' t know. It ' s a time for speeches. It ' s promising to stay in touch. It ' s a time for chasing dreams. It ' s how many spell relief. Still give up? It ' s graduation — a senior ' s favorite word in the English lan¬ guage. Twenty-five years to the day of her own gradua¬ tion from Osbourn High School, Dr. Carter delivers the faculty address marking her final teaching year and her departure. Mark and Matt Lepnew gladly relieve Mr. Rorrer of one of the awards they both received Friday night as outstanding students. Class treasurer, Becky White smiles triumphantly as she walks away from the stage after being presented with a Senior Scholarship. Graduation 9 Valedictorian Bob Kim delivers the annual speech to the senior class at the commencement service. Clinging to his cap, David Koman rushes to the stage to receive a scholarship from Mr. Rorrer. The moment had finally arrived. After four years of hard work, good times, and much anticipation, my high school years were quickly coming to an end. The setting sun of early evening shone brightly that night of June 10 as I re¬ flected on the brutal preparations to get there — lengthy practices, last-minute trips to Herff-Jones, quests for bobby pins, exams, and frantic prayers for good weather. As we, the graduates, nervous¬ ly stood in some alphabetical sem¬ blance awaiting the Commencement, the dull roar of the packed bleachers added yet another thought to my ever- so-active mind. Would I trip? Would it rain? Would this atrocious mortar board remain on my head? Suddenly the air was filled with the sweet music of the Symphonic Band playing the Processional Hymn and we marched two by two towards our seats. The remainder of the evening was tru¬ ly spectacular. I listened attentively to speeches by salutatorian Kathryn Wam¬ pler, faculty speaker Dr. Barbara Sue Carter, special guest Congressman Kenneth Robinson, and valedictorian Bob Kim. These were followed by the pre¬ sentation of awards by Mr. Rorrer. As I calmly waited to receive my di¬ ploma, it finally hit me. After four years, a big part of my life was over. Never again would I come to this very same field to participate in a pep rally or watch a game. Never again would I rush to class frantically trying to beat the bell. Never again would I see some of these people or know them in this unique way. This is also an individual commencement ' ' for me. The rest of the evening was somewhat of a blur. As Mr. Egidi continued the exer¬ cises, 230 tassels moved from side to side, 230 hats became airborne, and 460 feet trampled off the field to the tune of the Recessional Hymn. Amidst shouts and tears, we all took this time to say good-bye as only graduates can. My Own Personal Good-Bye im Coming round the track, Sandy Tyreman takes a look into the stands while Ben Songer concen¬ trates on the stage. It took almost fifteen minutes for everyone to file into the stadium. Even in her last hour, Marya McGowan displays her sense of very unique humor. Marya was truly looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. 10 Special Events Graduation II vsjsamm Despite the extremely warm weather, many students remained long after the service just to talk to other friends. John Waters and Robbie Hull take time for a few laughs. With a few warm and friendly words, Tracy Tra- band gets a few comments from the guys. Lining up to go into the church, the guys take their time. Graduates were required to be at the church half an hour in advance, and the wait was both hot and long. Before a packed house, Allan Guy gives the candidates some words of wisdom and advice as Father Kelley stands at the altar. 12 SDecial Events £ Y :jjii Amid sailboats and tropical breezes those attending the Junior-Senior Prom wondered what it would be If there were a fantasy island ... Reunion, a band that played with a variety of mu¬ sic styles, kept the transformed gym rockin ' from 9:00 to 1:00 on Saturday, May 14, Chosen as Prom Queen and King were Seniors Paige Taylor and Matt Lep- new. Other court members included Olga Holsclaw, Tom Dodson, Lisa Para, Andy Musgrove, Debbie Hess, Tom Penn, Alicia Aadnesen, and Mark Lepnew. Festivities continued throughout the early morning at the After-Prom Break¬ fast from 1:00 to 5:00 a.m, at the Man¬ assas Firehouse. Following the prom, preparations for graduation began earnestly with the Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, June 5. Seniors marching down the aisle at All Saints ' became sharply aware of not only the awkwardness of cap and gown but even more so of the reality of the end of twelve years of education. Class President Allan Guy delivered the Senior Class Address. Also partici¬ pating in the service were Father Kelley and Osbourn ' s string orchestra. Rites of Spring s© Prom Baccalaureate 13 14 Special Events It’s a Matter of Taste Peddle pushers, clam diggers, bob- bie socks with flat Pappagallo shoes — Osbourn in the 50 ' s ? Nope, it ' s Osbourn in 1983. Although the times are changing con¬ stantly, the fashion world has come full circle. Everyone is having a blast with the styles of the ' 80 ' s? ' , creating a new wave to an old look. What we call “punk , our parents called “Vogue in their day. Of course, we can never forget the Definately GQ! Down to his socks, Michael John¬ son always creates an ensemble that displays his impeccable taste. With spring just around the cor¬ ner, a shorts and jacket combo is quite appropriate. Osbourn traditionals — the Preppies. Their style never changes, for their dress is always very refined. Everything matches precisely, from the checkered pants and watch band, to the printed skirt and purse cover. Each of these fashions has its own indi¬ vidual style, whether it be of elegance, refinement, or warmth and comfort. Ev¬ ery person must find a style which re¬ flects his personality, likes and dislikes, and general individuality. As long as people and times change, you can rest assured the fashion world too will change. But you can also rest assured that one thing will never change — everyone ' s favorite blue jeans! Match-maker Paige Tavlor manages to over¬ come any difficulties with color combinations, and always has perfectly co-ordinated outfits. Add-a- bead necklaces can be found everywhere, and the sizes are many. Sign of the things to come or perhaps the things that once were, Robyn Barton and Caroline Mathews update some old clam-diggers with bright accents such as bandanas, and bright, layered t-shirts. White tennis shoes complete Robyn ' s outfit, and Caroline creates a unique out¬ fit with the help of a concert t-shirt. Shoes without socks, a sure sign of a Prep. Cheenos and a polo shirt complete the outfit worn by Chris Harrover, a senior. The top designer of polo shirts this year was Ralph Lauren, but every now and then an alligator could be spotted. Completely sophisticated and completely casual. Kelly Grizzle is known throughout the school for her classy taste in dresses. Just another day for Junior Brent Kendrick. Blue jeans still remain the basis of everyone ' s wardrobe and shirts and jackets enhance the look. -- Fashion 15 It’s finally lunch time! Although the cafeteria is crowded and hot, and the students complain about the food, it is, for many, the high point of the day — second only to the bell at two o ' clock. Business teacher, Ms. Macher, helps the D.E.C.A. students, Sean Radcliff, Robby Ziese and May Szuszwalak straighten out the books after a busy morning at the school supply store. Typical Day Everyday, five days a week, the same routine happens. The familiar buzz of the alarm awakens you at an hour in which the only other being awake is a bright¬ eyed owl in the dark reaches of Man¬ assas. You stumble blindly through the halls trying your best to find the bath¬ room. Time passes quickly and before long you ' re hurrying to the corner to catch the loud bus. You grope your way among the crowded aisle to finally find your seat next to the biggest jerk in the whole school. Amazingly enough you get to school on time, only to find a change in the weather. Rain — a person ' s worst enemy. And naturally you have your out¬ door class during the hardest rainfall. The result? Dripping hair, runny make¬ up, stickly clothes, and a bad mood. The rest of the day has been ruined. For some unknown reason, you can ' t seem to find last night ' s homework. Your teachers all assign more work, and you ' re late to the rest of your classes. Finally the day ends and you board the same old, yellow bus. Tiresome and weary, you slouch down in the seat and ride home. As you open the door to your house, you throw vour books down and grab a snack. Another day is gone, but you know tomorrow will be the same, if not worse ... Desperate to meet deadlines, these students gravitate to the library. Here they find a quiet atmosphere for the last-minute efforts of the writers. Mr. Kelly desperately attempts to organize the morning announcements, so that they have their normal ring of importance and vitality, or, at least, tries not to mispronounce any of the words. Questioning a test grade, Keith Ebker talks with Mrs. Koman during his American Government class. Testing is an integral part of every student ' s day. 16 Special Events Backgammon provides a break from regular class time in the DECA room. Here Richard Eaton and Mikki Murakata play the game. Recruiters often attract the attention of juniors and seniors who are trying to decide their futures. SSGT. Chris Smith welcomes David Spellman and Robbie Hull to the Marine Corps. A Typical Day 17 If Fantasies Were Real ... Homecoming is the true beginning of the school year. Spirit, enthusiasm, and excitement are at a climax. The week of October 11-16 encompassed all of these feelings and the scene was set for Homecoming. The display of spirit by the faculty and students was visual in many forms. Col¬ ored chains and posters decorated the walls as individual classes lavished the school with ornaments in any attempt to prove that they had the most spirit. Teachers and administrators all wore matching shirts signifying their sense of unity and pride. As the Loudoun Valley dummy bums in the tradi- With a warm smile on her face, Alicia Aadnesen tional bonfire.

Home¬ coming Queen Olga Holsclaw leaves the field. “It Eagles Ruled the World. The Senior Class produced the largest float in the competition, a giant eagle complete with sound effects and moving wings. Believing there is gold at the end of the rainbow, the Freshman Class had no trouble finding elfs for their float since their class is one of the shortest classes to have entered. Homecoming 19 ... And Sometimes The finale to a week of spirit festivities was our football team ' s 32-0 victory over Loudoun Valley. The win upped both the Eagles winning record and our spirits. During halftime of the football game the floats once again circled the field. The princesses were presented, and Olga Holsclaw was crowned Home¬ coming Queen. Saturday ' s dance was a great suc¬ cess, as everybody rocked to the sounds of Adventure. Homecoming was a fantasy come true. At the start of the parade. Sophomore Princesses Elena Park and Julie Daniel wait for the procession to move. The cries rang out through the downtown streets of Manassas as a truckload of seniors accompany their float to the school. John Kratzer drove the truck. They Are 20 Special Events iv Walking into a brightly decorated cafeteria, Jean Nelson, a senior, is ready for the dance to begin. Despite various mishaps with their float, the Junior Class presents its fantasy that If Christmas came all year through ... Karen Lorenzen, hold¬ ing out her bottle tilted with apple juice, Bobbie Rieck, and Clette Martin all dressed up like kids. Homecoming 21 In a scene from The Last of Sherlock Holmes Susie Myers, Jane Law, and Carol Sutherlin discuss the infamous Dim Whimplegrey curse. Finalists in the Miss Osbourn Pageant Pam Parker and Wendy Lehfelt take their places at the front of the stage . Both girls were representatives of the Senior Class. Looking exhuberant, Joey Hobbie tries to keep her Miss Osbourn crown from falling off. Joey was the first junior ever to be named Miss Osbourn. After dress rehearsal Miss Thompson goes over notes for the one-acts with some members of the class. Master ot Ceremonies David Koman smiles in response to Lisa Para ' s answer to her semifinalist question. 22 Special Events “All the World’s a Stage’’ The lights are dimmed, the audience is still, and the air if full of expectation, Suddenly the gold curtains sweep apart revealing one of the most valued areas — the stage. Orchestra bows, stage props, lights, and microphones — these are just a few of the many tools which contribute to that mysterious attraction which this important platform most cer¬ tainly possesses. Unlike most other areas of performance, the stage is a unique multi-faceted environment which undergoes a new transformation with the coming of each new week. Whether its atmosphere is full of the deserted, haunting air of the one-act play Voices ' ' or the nervous tension which is present as the new Miss Osbourn is announced, the stage is continually changing. Above all else, the stage is a place of art. It is a place where one can express oneself whether through the music of a concert, the drama or comedy of a play, or the morals and lessons of a spe¬ cial guest speaker. After all, without the stage there would be no applause — no excitement. The auditorium would be¬ come merely another big and empty classroom. As one of the performing acts during on e of fhe breaks in the pageant, Don Becker and Friends provide some light entertainment. First runner-up Jill Rathke, a junior contestant in the Miss Osbourn Pageant, talks with the audience about her outfit and about her interests.

David Koman took ad¬ vanced American Studies which placed him in his mother ' s class for two years. Julie was only a freshman. the Ole What is it like to have your mother or father working at the school which you attend? Well, for 15 teenagers at Osbourn High School, it is a unique feel¬ ing that not many people can experi¬ ence. There are embarrassing mo¬ ments. All the other teachers seem to know who you are and expect more of you. Friends always ask questions and others think you have an inside track on your parent ' s subject. Besides all of this, however, there are advantages. You can always depend on a ride to and from school and you are usually kept up to date on the latest information on all sorts of activities. There is also a feeling of pride that comes with the terri¬ tory because so many students depend on your parents to learn about their sub¬ ject. A change in mid-semester took place for Brian and John Moliere when their father married the former Mrs. Harriette Powell. Sister Suzanne was a freshman this year. Special Relations 27 Reading a book keeps Stephanie Geisler quiet during English class. If a girl spoke to a guy, she lost her Hush button. The Lionettes sponsored the con¬ test which was won by Sophomore Scott Gibbs. Caught by surprise, Ms. Robin Macher displays the white carnation she received for Valentine ' s Day. White carnations meant someone wished to get better acquainted with you. The Days the Carnations Died It wasn ' t going to snow. Unfortunately, for some 800 Valentine carnations, they got snowed in the school refrigerator for five days. Mrs. Koman, SCA sponsor, told us all to plan on coming to school Fri¬ day, February 11, because it was not going to snow anyway. That ' s what she said Thursday — before the blizzard hit. By the time the snow had stopped in Manassas, over two feet of the white fluffy stuff had accumulated. The city was shut down while people plowed driveways all weekend. When we finally got back to classes the following Wednesday, the carna¬ tions had been in hibernation for six days. Before classes, a new code was formed because most students had assumed that the flowers would have turned colors, like brown and black. It was kind of interesting. How many peo¬ ple do you know that have received black flowers as a sign of love? All of our panic was futile, thankfully. Due to the cautious efforts of the SCA, the majority of the carnations success¬ fully wintered the Blizzard of ' 83 ' ' . Even six days after the blizzard, there were high drifts all over the area, and Some roads were still treacherous. We had missed three days of school. Valentines Day 29 “Awesome Eagle Mania 9 ’ Take any typical Osbourn football or basketball game or wrestling match. There ' s often as much action in the stands with the fans as on the field with the players. Face it — a sports event is a social gathering for the school and, of course, one can ' t miss the victory celebration! Look through the crowd. You ' ll see a lot of different people, but all are yelling loudly for the same cause. Packed tight¬ ly into our stadium or gym, the crowd forms a unique bond of friendship and loyalty. This cohesion is not only felt by loyal Osbourn fans, but opponents often feel it! Remember the Brentsville game? Before the first quarter ended, most of the electricity cut off. Osbourn fans had been loud and rowdy, but the darkness first upset us. Slowly our invisible bond of spirit began to light up as the band played and spontaneous cheers erupted. During one lull of the thirty- minute darkness, Brentsville game announcers applauded our band and fans for a particularly rowdy rendition of the Stripper. ' ' Now look at The Pit. What opponent wouldn ' t be intimidated by a sardine- can atmosphere of rowdy fans perched over the doors and spilling onto the court? Talk about a home-court advantage! This atmosphere keeps our loyal Osbourn fans coming to games week after week — to cheer, to socialize, to scream, even to cry — but always to have a good time! Leading the crowd in loud cheers for our football team, Karen Lorenzen sparks up some new chants. We had plenty of weeks to cheer since our football squad was undefeated. During the winter months we cheered for our wrestling state champions. 30 Special Events No matter what kind of weather the game was played in. Junior Paul Proctor did a mini strip¬ tease. Fortunately, the weather for the Waynes¬ boro game was warm. Although they had to travel over two hours, our fans almost equaled the number of home fans at Waynesboro. The victory against the Little Giants was our first play-off game. The quarters were close, but Junior Nikki Delln- ger found enough room to open her books so she could study. Nikki was a member of the varsity basketball team, but the JV game had not yet started. Fans 31 32 People Divider m., J It’s a Common Cause People — they come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors. Though we may dress the same, walk the same, no two people are alike. We are all individuals in our own way. As we face the trouble and confusion of our high school years, we are also faced with a diversity of people we have never before encountered. But among the clutter of new faces ther e are new personali- ties to explore, new friendships to develop — friendships which we will value for the rest of our lives. Catching forty winks, Randy Horte finds a short break in his English class. Student schedules were so crammed that many took a breather whenever they saw the chance. Not as intense as many classes and busier than most, the job of being an aide can be a relief. Sue Spall and Paige Taylor help Brian Contner, a sophomore, with a pass. People Divider 33 Wanted: June 10, 1983 The time has come! After four years of toil and trouble, we have finally found that silver lining that every cloud sup¬ posedly contains. The years were long and hard, but the friends we ' ve made and the goals we ' ve reached somehow makes it all seem so worthwhile. Through such fundraising activities as car washes, candy sales, auctions, and pageants, we showed that hard work and dedication can be both profitable and fun. We have managed to create a sense of unity that can be compared to few in the past and even fewer in the future. But now we must move onward, leav¬ ing behind the security of our high school years in order to confront new challenges and explore new horizons. It won ' t be easy, for the future is full of uncertainty, but we may all face it with the pleasant and happy memory of a frantic and unforgettably fantastic Se¬ nior year.

Elena Park and Jill Rathke put off doing their chem¬ istry assignment until evening. Homework! Homework! Give me a break! You hear this all the time. High school is merely another name for home¬ work. It ' s a substance that continually flows like a river. No matter how much you do, you always come up with more, more, more! Sometimes it seems like it never ends. Often times a substitute teacher brings the hope of a period free from work. Think again! You can rest assured that there ' s an assignment due the very next day. The hastle and tortures are un¬ avoidable. The result is inevitably ex¬ haustion, nervousness and a severe pair in the neck.

Here, the buses, pull up to school, right on time. My Dog Ate My Homework Excuses, excuses, excuses — we all use them at some time or another whether it ' s at school, at home, or on the job. Oh, how dull and boring our lives would be without them. Students are probably the masters of excuses. Perhaps the most classical and common of these is the famous line, the dog ate my homework. This is sure to be of service unless of course, you don ' t have a dog. In that case, drastic mea¬ sures must be taken by substituting the word dog for cat, gerbil, or even baby sister. But of course excuses are not merely limited to school. Often times a good line comes in handy at home. On those lazy days when the stereo seems slightly more appealing than the dust rag and vacuum cleaner, simply inform your mother of the many volumes of home¬ work awaiting completion. Or better yet, a sudden illness is certain to pull at her heartstrings. Who ever said a little white lie would get you no where? Finally, we must examine those ex¬ cuses invented to relieve the pressures of the office. Whether it ' s due to a broken carburetor, recurrent malaria, or a busted alarm clock, every worker is sure to come creeping in late at some time or another. After all, everyone could use a little extra beauty sleep. As long as there are people to invent them, new excuses will be put into cir¬ culation. Just maintain an imaginative approach and a sincere and convincing style and you ' ll be sure to get your way. But always remember: Honesty is the best policy — usually!

Sam Beason, bass player for the group Undecided, com¬ ments, Bass — ically, it ' s a great way to kill time. Some students choose to work be¬ cause its something they really enjoy doing. Peter McCrary, bag boy at Ma- gruders remarks, Working at Ma- gruders is really my bag. When asked about his job as lifeguard at Sudley Club, David Koman replied, My job is very stressful, a big responsibility. Besides, it ' s a great way to get a tan! Rob Widdi- combe, gas station attendant, enjoys his job. He stated, It ' s a great job — except for when it rains. Other student job-holders take a more serious view of their jobs. Cindy Eakin, a sophomore who works in her father ' s law office observes, The work is worth what I get out of my job. There are also many positions avail¬ able to those who seek volunteer work. These jobs are usually held by students who need a positive way to fill their spare time. Suzanne Bailey, volunteer at the Mental Health Center, adequately sums up the feelings of most volunteers. She says, My job at the Mental Health Center will help me in things I might do in the future. The experience I get out of it is worth more than if I had a paying job. Few workers feel the same as Su¬ zanne, for financial need is the leading cause of student jobs. With rising prices and increasing needs, it ' s becoming dif¬ ficult to stay on top. This fact is bluntly restated by Chris Gatti, construction su¬ pervisor. When asked why he had a part-time job, he remarked, The pay is very good. These are just a few of the many work¬ ing students who attend Osbourn High. Whether they do it for love or money, in sickness or in health, or for richer or poorer, rest assured each worker finds his job worthwhile. Seniors 41 Four years ago, I came to Osbourn with a young and lively spirit. I looked forward to my high school years with an eager heart, ready for both work and fun. But now, as I look back on these past years, I find that I am not only four years older, but four years wiser as well. As I see a new wave of Freshmen enthusiastically storming the halls, I envy their energy, but laugh at their ignorance. For you see, I have fallen prey to a disease which is sweeping the nation, affecting every fourth-year student it encounters. I ' ve got Senioritis, and I ' ve got it bad. Now, the only eagerness in my heart comes from the prospect of a fair and speedy graduation. But as this judgment day approaches, I ask myself, can I afford the consuming costs which undoubtedly ac¬ company Seniority and Graduation, or shall I be reduced to the never-ending The Big Day horror of forever roaming the corridors of Osbourn High? With the increasing rate of inflation thal is sweeping our nation, Senior expenses are now greater than ever before. Oi course there are the usual necessities. 100 Graduation Announcements.$19.0C 200 Personalized Name Cards . . $ 6.5C Cap and Gown.$10.0( THE TOTAL IS FAR TOO MUCH!!!!! This is not to mention other exorbitanl costs such as Yearbooks, Parking Tick¬ ets, School Supplies, munchies for late- night study nourishment, etc. All in all, however, the cost is worth it Faced with the consequences, I ' ll delve deep into the furthest corners of m) pockets, for after all, could I actually sur vive another four years? Announcements may be the proper etiquette when graduating, but they are also expensive. While participating in the Miss Osbourn Pageant, Alicia Aadnesen gets extra mileage from her cap and gown, which is one of the major expenses of a high school senior.

Getting out of class to go to assemblies early tends to make seniors happy, as Tracy Traband and Rick Johnson demonstrate. The Privilege of Being A Senior Four years ago, we came to Osbourn looking up to the Seniors and envying them for their power and special priv¬ ileges. Now, however, the years have gone by and the times have changed, and we are those Seniors who we wanted so badly to become. Perhaps the greatest pleasure of this ever-active Se¬ nior year comes from the enjoyment of the special privileges which accompany the prestigious title. At the discretion of the teacher, each Senior is allowed to be released five min¬ utes early for lunch in order to avoid the hustle and bustle of lunchroom activi¬ ties. In addition, they may be the first to attend and leave assemblies, during which they enjoy reserved sections in the gym and auditorium. Finally, Seniors have reserved parking spaces, and three excused college or work days. These privileges, combined with the many other Senior activities, add to the excitement and pleasure of a long antici¬ pated Senior year. How can it possibly be anything but good?

Many young people ask them¬ selves which one? where? how do I ap- ply? These questions and more can all be inswered with the help of a guidance bounselor. One of the first steps you take s to send for information about the school and it ' s career opportunities that nterest you. Filling out the final applica- ions could be rough, so remember all of our past successes and goals! Sending ill the application forms back on time is always important and, then, the 1-o-n-g wait. Finally, the acceptance letter comes back and much happiness is shared with it but, then another decision has to be made. This may be the most important decision in your life, make sure it is the right one! Remember this is your future education and your choice, advice from parents and teachers is very helpful to¬ wards which college you will eventually go to but make sure that your choice is one that will satisfy your needs. larch 0, 1H 3 Hr Hubert L Hichaal 8 04 Tudor Um H an .

Writing com¬ position for Advance Placement English and learning about another country ' s system of government both proved to be interesting subjects for her. In addition to class work, Annette found Teen Counseling rewarding for it ' s interaction with sixth graders. Her skill as a tennis player boasted the Girls ' Tennis Team to a winning season and sent Annette to State Competition. But her experiences were not limited to the Osbourn building. An avid inter¬ est in art led Annette to Washington ' s museums and theaters. She also visited in the South, went northward to Penn¬ sylvania and New York, spent time on Chincoteague Island, and camped in West Virginia. Mrs. Margaret Kaminsky, whose family Annette has been a part of this year, comments, The experience of knowing Annette has been important in many ways. Not only have I learned about another country, but I now have new insights about my own. But, more importantly, has been the personal satis¬ faction of the relationship with her: she is a special person. Although Annette Maier ' s native language is Ger¬ man, she gets A ' s in her English classes. 50 People Kathleen Schuster Charlotte Shanholtz Girls ' Soccer, Spanish Club VP, Art Club, Powaer Puff, Science Club John Sharp Alice Smith Cynthia Smith Basketball, Boys ' Basketball mgr.

This work payed off as he won Grand Prizes in the School and Regional Science Fairs and went on to compete in the inter¬ national Science Fair, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 52 People Scientist Goes International Science Project! Every science student at Osbourn is familiar with either this or a science paper. The average person works fairly hard, and his efforts are re¬ warded with a (hopefully) high grade. Burton Squires got an all-expense paid trip to New Mexico. How? For the sec¬ ond year in a row, Burt has won Grand Prize at the Regional Fair, qualifying his project for the prestigious International Fair, held May 8-15, 1983. In his junior year, Burt went to Houstan, Texas. One thing that impressed Burton was the credibility of the judges at the Inter¬ national Fair. Burton comments, When they heard I was doing a project on solar distillation, they got judges with PhD ' s in that field. He returned to Manassas with numerous awards and cash prizes. This year Burt ' s project was entitled Spectral Photovoltaics. This simply is a plan for taking sunlight and converting it to energy. Fast year ' s project, Solar Distilla¬ tion , set up a plan for Virginia Beach to convert the present water system to a more efficient process through the use of distillation. In addition to his scientific studies. Burton trained this year to be a techni¬ cian at IBM. This fall he begins a three- year program at York College in Penn¬ sylvania followed by two years at Col¬ umbia University, majoring in chemical or civil engineering. After that, who knows? Burton spent much time at Science Fairs explaining his project to judges and interested observers.

This seems to be a popular question around class ring time. Once a year, every year, the halls are filled with the excitement of this tra¬ ditional event, causing problems such as excessive tardies, class disruptions, and the frustration that comes from losing count. Many may wonder, what ' s the big deal? just what brings about the lore” of the class ring? These people are clearly underclassmen, for a class ring is something very special. It symbolizes the pride and prestige of finally, after two years of struggle, becoming an up¬ perclassman. Whether it sits wrapped in string around your girlfriend ' s finger, chained around your boyfriend ' s neck, or merely decorating your own finger, the specialness of the gem will always shine through. The first symbolic turn of the ring is to be saved for a best friend. The final turn, that is sealed with a kiss, adds to the beauty and thrill of the ring and no one will soon forget the experi¬ ence. A turn for the better! Two juniors turn each others rings. The class ring is a symbol of upperclassman status.

Currently she studies at the Show Case Dance Studio at the Hayloft. Molly is quite an accomplished dancer, having been to New York City three times for instruction. There she danced at Carnegie Hall and the American Dance Machine. Dancing is hard work though, and Molly knows it. She puts in nine to ten hours a week practicing. Having studied tap, jazz, and ballet, she says that tap and jazz are her favorite. Molly plans to make a career in danc¬ ing. Although once she thought about giving it up, now she says I wouldn ' t think of it. Interested in a possible career in dancing, Molly also enjoys other extra-curricular activities.

This prize money and other money earned by var¬ ious fundraisers was added to the trea¬ sury in early preparation of their coming Prom. Though all sophomores will not be so lucky as to go to Prom this year, some will get the opportunity to serve at Prom as has been the tradition. Servers usually wear outfits which fit the theme of the Prom. Thinking about the many boxes of M M ' s sold in the halls each year, any¬ one can see the time and effort each class spends to make their Prom a success. So for every 50 cents you ' ve lost (and five pounds you ' ve gained) buying a box of candy, think of the help you ' ve given to those dilligent candy sellers.

This year, however, many sopho¬ mores and juniors will for the first time be experiencing the thrill of being in the driver ' s seat. After years of dreaming, and months of rugged road and range training, a driver ' s license becomes the turning point of your high school years. It opens the way to a new and busier way of life — full of fun but also responsibil¬ ity. Never again must you walk home in the rain, strut to the library, or worse yet, face the dreaded embarrassment of being driven on a date by — UGH — your parents! As with all good things though, you must face the consequences scraping for gas money, struggling to buy a car, and adjusting to becoming taxi driver and chief errand runner! Whatever the case, driving becomes an exciting responsibility and ultimately, a very rewarding experience. Hang in there freshmen, it won ' t be long now!

He has actually been a disc jockey almost five years, and has been working at WPRW as a licensed disc jockey since June, 1982. Chris has always loved music. One of his favorite pastimes is concert-going. He ' s seen concerts ranging from the Beach Boys to Diana Ross to REO Speed- wagon. In addition, as a licensed disc jockey, he receives free records from ma¬ jor distributors such as Warner Brothers, CBS, and RCA. Chris prefers to be on the airwaves at night. I like nights a lot better than mornings, he says, more calls, and you can let loose a little more. I appreci¬ ate all the calls from people at Osbourn. Taking classes in electronics, Chris feels that they will assist him in his future as a radio deejay. Sophomores 67 Managing to Do It All Living in Manassas all his life, Chris Ewell has acquired a taste for sports — particularly baseball, football and wres¬ tling.

The freshmen quickly showed they were an enthusias¬ tic class by winning the most spirit sticks of any class at the pep rallies. Under the direction of Mr. Lampazzi, class spon¬ sor, and Alison Penner, class president, they earned money by raking leaves and having a bake sale, thus getting a good financial start. Most of the frosh adapted rapidly by learning their way around (af¬ ter the first week, the “enormous” build¬ ing seemed to shrink!), joining clubs and sports teams, melting into the crowd with their popular brand new Osbourn jackets. The class of ' 86 supported the school sports teams by coming out to the games and screaming for the Eagles!

And that picture of Tom Selleck has got to go! Why don ' t you put up a picture of that sexy 459 down the hall? Oh, once in a while, do you think that it might be possible for you to tidy up my shelves? I can ' t get any respect around here? I look like a slob! One last piece of advice — it ' s much easier to do my combination to c ome in than to enter by force! Well — till next time — same place, same time! The halls are quiet, and the lockers stand silent. The next morning they will be ready to cause trou¬ ble for an unsuspecting victim.

You ' ve got five minutes to do whatever you want. You decide to first go to your locker to get rid of the heavy load of books. Next, as you ' re walking the famil¬ iar path to your next room, or prison station, you run into your friend. Glanc¬ ing at your watch, you see you have enough time so you stop to talk. You chat, laugh, and joke, and time passes very quickly. Out of habit, you look at the clock. 70 seconds! As you exchange quick good-byes, you make a mad dash tor the nearest stairs, only to find it was in haste! The tardy bell rings and you slow your pace. As you reach your des¬ tination somewhat reluctantly, the guard opens the cell and lets you in. The next imprisonment starts. Even though the bell had already rung, people were still milling in the halls. Teachers got almost as many tardies as we did. 74 People Suzanne Moliere Andre Montgomery Michelle Moore Pat Moore John Mosemak Tom Mowchan Janie Mullins Jennie Mun Keith Murakata Milly Myers Paul Napoli Tim Neely Pat Neese Charles Nelson Sheri Newbold Desirie Newman Binh Mguyen Joe Nichols Marvin Nickens Regina Nickens Paul O ' Conner Matt Oney Tammy Outlaw Katie Owings Paul Oxley Ellen Panidis Kim Parsons Ross Paterson Missy Pattie Darren Perrotto Alison Penner Matt Peters Ron Peters Angelia Pitcock Mike Pierce Michael Pollack Tony Porter Robert Powers Buz Presock Mike Preston Shelia Rash Joe Ratcliff Freshmen 75 Jennifer Ravn Missy Raymond Kimberly Raynor Karen Rector Jimmy Reynolds Pete Richards Bill Ripol Duane Roberts Kevin Robinson David Rogers Karen Roof Oren Rose Cheryl Rotenberry Janet Ryder Nancy Schrage Bobbie Schroer Debbie Scott Rob Scott Stephanie Scott Gail Seidlinger Laura Shanholtz Denise Sheetz Todd Shepherd Bert Smilie Greg Snellings Amy Snider Terri Snook Doug Songer Jonn Spall David Sperry Sunny Skies Windy and 39°F in Manassas!

Academics Clubs Divider 81 Any Way We Can Everyone loves a band, especially when it’s as great as our own “Screaming Eagle Band.” Never hesitating to perform at any time, our band com¬ petes in many contests, provides half-time shows at football games, marches in parades, and plays at pep rallies. Being in a band is not all fun and games. For starters, practice begins in August. Then, for a few hours every day, marching band members must stay after school and practice in the heat, cold, or whatever the weather. They must also travel long, tiresome hours to competitions. But all this grueling work does pay off. The march¬ ing band gets to participate in many activities, besides school pep rallies and concerts. They marched in the Christmas Parade in Olde Town Manassas, and the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Washington, D.C. They competed in the Concord College Band Day and walked out with first place, even after being placed in the wrong category! Enthusiasm, talent, dedication, and a genuine support of Osbourn — all characteristics of our “Screaming Eagle Band”! Keeping a solid beat, the drum and rhythm section played a feature while the rest of the members went through a routine of quick feet-moving. They even had one section where they acted as dominoes, where one person fell immediately after the other. Solemnly marching onto the field Jennifer Ravn proudly carries the flag of the United States in preparation of playing The Star-Spangled Banner. The band marched into the bleachers to leave their coats before they went onto the field because the weather was extremely cold. Getting on the bus isn’t always as easy as it appears. Renee Baratka, Carey Hawk and Natasha Grizzle follow Mr. Cantor’s instructions. The overnight trip required the use not only of their coolers, but also radios and a supply of quarters for video games. 82 Academics, Clubs “O, say can you see?” The crowds were quiet and the football players were still as the marching band played the National Anthem before the start of the game. Robbie Hull, a senior, and Margie Fox, a sophomore, had solos. A pleasant change came for the student fans when the jazz band performed at an early basketball pep rally. The favorite song was still the fight song. One, two, three .. Everyone wanted to get on the bus headed to Concord all at once, even though members had signed up for seats in advance. Even though it was halftime, there was just as much team¬ work in the marching band. Mike Pederson, a senior, and James Brown, a junior, were the drum majors marking the first time in our history that there has not been a female drum major.

Practice Makes Perfect Practice, Practice, and more practice. No matter how painful it may be, we must all do it, for it is the only method of reaching perfection. Perhaps musicians realize this age-old practice of practice better than most others. Whether drumming on a drum, fiddling with a fiddle, or scaling the notes of a scale, musicians work diligently to creatively ex¬ press their thoughts and feelings through song. The mark of being a true musician stems from the knowledge that no one, whether he be in the band, orchestra, or chorus, has more than one voice. One voice is all that anyone has, but through pa¬ tience and practice this single voice must be culti¬ vated and and perfected. The result is no single sound, but a collection of many voices which blend together in harmony to form that beautiful sound which we all call music. 84 Academics Clubs Symphonic Band students enjoy rehearsing for their many concerts, festivals and special performances throughout the year.

Music 85 Deadlines, Deadlines, and More Deadlines Have you ever heard the proverb “Time passes quickly when you’re having fun?” Probably so, but here at Osbourn High, we’ve added a new dimen¬ sion to this age-old prophesy. Sometimes, you see, time passes even more quickly when you’re not having fun. Whether it’s a research paper, a yearbook story, a newspaper article, or the lines of a play, rest assured there’s a deadline to be met somewhere over the horizon, threatening to in¬ vade an otherwise peaceful existence. For as many years as there have been schools and teachers, students have been plagued with deadlines. Perhaps the best example of this is the dreaded English research paper that we all must face at some time or another. Each and every year the assignment is made months in advance allow¬ ing each student a sufficient amount of time to complete the paper. However, after numerous futile attempts to flatter the professor into an ex¬ tension, the night before finds a swarm of students frantically copying lines, and inventing footnotes and sources at the Public Library. Deadlines are certainly not limited to academics, for they are also a large part of extra¬ curricular activities. The Yearbook and the News¬ paper staffs are constantly working under the pressure of a due-date in order to get their finished products to the students on time. It’s far from being easy. Whether you’re writing a story, editing, or putting it all together, an upcoming deadline is certain to be staring you in the face. Actors and actresses of the Drama Club also know too well this fact of life, as they desperately try to memorize their lines by opening night. The result is ultimately worry, paranoia, and a never-ending headache. So, next time you are enjoying yourself, don’t jump to false conclusions. Look to the future, for there is certain to be a deadline lurking around every corner.

English 87 In the past few years, opportunities in the world of business have increased by leaps and bounds, and Osbourn High has put forth its best effort to meet these ever-increasing demands. With new computers and more advanced courses in busi¬ ness application, the Business Department is stronger now than ever before. Improvement is evident with each new day. This new business-oriented program begins with such basic courses as Beginning Typing and General Business. In these classes students learn the fundamental skills necessary for success. These student’s studies also prepare them for the more advanced courses such as Stenography, Data Processing, and Accounting. The stress on business advancement, however, is not limited to academics. Extra-curricular activi¬ ties too have become caught up in the struggle. The Osbourn chapter of the Future Business Business students put in another day’s work learning about the ways and means of the business world. Doing Business Leaders of America is a prime example. The FBLA is an organization which deals largely with the business world and its application to the community. Under the leadership of officers John Waters, Donna Merrill, and Christa Richer, it is composed of many business students who work hard to promote and carry out the chapter’s many responsibilities. Through its many service-oriented activities, the FBLA has become a leading force in the communi¬ ty, raising $300 for the March of Dimes, and the same amount for the American Red Cross. This is not to mention the many candy sales, school dances and other numerous activities the club has sponsored. Through the help of such organizations as the FBLA and the Business Department, many gradu¬ ates may leave high school with a step in the right direction; with a positive attitude toward a new career. We may all be proud of the knowledge that Osbourn High School has made a lasting contribu¬ tion to that always growing world of business. 88 Academics Clubs FBLA: (front row) Donna Merrill, Jean Nelson, Maureen McAndrew, JoAnn Gordon, (second row) Christa Richer, Alice Marrin, Karen Griffin, Toni Stouffer, Mary Foster, (third row) Bruce Delisle, John Waters, Erik Wilkins, Alana McClendon.

Two members of the Games Club participate in one of the popular Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing games. 90 Academics Clubs It’s in the Numbers Numbers — fascinating, exciting, intriguing — yet virtually impossible. Many a frustrating hour has been passed diligently on that one math prob¬ lem that just won’t work out. Though we may come close, closeness only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades! What’s a student to do? Many a student, much to the teacher’s dismay, questioned the necessity of the quadratic formula and laws of growth and decay. In our daily trudge to the math huts, through rain, hail, sleet, and snow, we question the importance of the entire math department in general. But, believe it or not, there is a method to this madness. Besides the obvious reason of a career in math, there are other explanations for this pain. Math teaches discipline and responsibility. A student learns to think problems through using a practical approach. This is also useful in almost every walk of life. Despite the usual swarm of math-haters which every school contains, there are some students who are intrigued by numbers. These people find solace in the Games Club. Through such games as Risk, and the popular Dungeons and Dragons, members struggle for victory. The result is a re¬ warding experience for all.

Math 91 On the Job Training Some classes at Osbourn are like on-the-job training. Whether they be from the science field or home economics, each of these special skills learned by the students is putting that person a step ahead to a possible future career. The many labs done in all fields of science bene¬ fit the students and the results can be seen in the most successful Science Fair Projects. Home economics prepares students to cook and sew, as well as run a home and family, thus creating a basis for a successful home environ¬ ment. The club, the Future Homemakers of Amer¬ ica, also gives more people a chance to help in school functions, particularly concerning refresh¬ ments and decorations — skills achieved through home economics classes. The electronics class and laboratory teaches students basic electronics and electrical theory with the use of semiconductors and transistors. Information learned in this field can be put to a very worthwhile job in the future. The principles of printing design and layout — such as, phototypesetting and film development — are all taught and carried out in the printing lab. As the students advance, a more sound back¬ ground is built in maintaining the operation and maintenance of all offset printing equipment. Each of these four laboratory classes give stu¬ dents the hands-on experience to learn.

Science 93 Outspoken People People — they come in all shapes and sizes, and with each comes a special style of expression. Whether one is talking or being silent, each person has an individual language which is apparent in every smile and tear. Through academics this lan¬ guage is nurtured, forming a complete and unique person. Whether one parle francais, habla Espanol, or merely speaks English, it is the duty of the lan¬ guage department to cultivate this art of expres¬ sion. Through the courses offered students are taught to speak in the best way possible. But the cultivation of languages is not limited to merely the field of academics. Extra-curricular activities too reflect our interest in self-expression. Perhaps the best example of this is the Forensics Club. The Forensics Club consists of a series of activi¬ ties conducted on school, district, regional, and state levels. Through such individual events as poetry reading, prose reading, extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, and spelling, members learn the importance and value of good speaking. The experience is truly rewarding. The Spanish Club also provides a valuable learning experience to its members. Under the leadership of president Tracy Wright, the club studies and experiences the many beauties of Spanish culture. The year climaxed in a trip to Spain. Adios amigos! There is but one other language club present at Osbourn, through different from all others. Through their underlying enthusiasm, the members of the PEP Club (Peculiar, Enthusiastic, People) work diligently to encourage team spirit and pride. They use a special language all their own; the result is spectacular! Enthusiastic members of the Pep Club prepare signs adver¬ tising their successful dance. 94 Academics Clubs Mrs. Dean, sponsor of the Pep Club, generates excite¬ ment among the club’s members.

The co-curricular courses offered prepare students for the professional world of business. The skills learned in the classroom are applied to the working situations of the students. Those en¬ rolled in vocational courses are usually involved in the club that is directly related to their field of study. Students taking Distributive Education are mem¬ bers of DECA, just as those in the Industrial Elec¬ tronics course are members of VICA. The VICA Club has raised over $400 since the fall term. This money was used to pay student dues and to defray the costs of entering competi¬ tions. Perhaps the most notable of these competi¬ tions was the District V VICA contest. Of the five students competing, Mike Seningen placed third in Industrial Electronics. The other contestants, D. Miller, John Sharpe, David Grossman, and Steve Moody, were cited personally by the competition chairman, Dr. George Lear, for their contributions, learning, and participation. The overall purpose of DECA is to provide stu¬ dents with a professional organization within the field of marketing. The purposes are to promote leadership, to increase vocational competency, to develop social intelligence, and to encourage civic awareness. This year’s club has been very active in order to fulfill these purposes. The officers have attended leadership development workshops. In addition, they have sponsored the second annual costume contest, Department of the Month, celebration of vocational week, participation in local and state contest, roller-skating, fund-raising activities, the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon, and the an¬ nual Employer Employee Banquet.

Vocational 97 Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness Confident about her choices, Tracy Trband leaves the SC A voting booth with a smile of satisfaction. “The heritage of the past is the seed that springs forth the harvest of the future.” So reads the bulle¬ tin board of history teacher Mrs. Rita Koman. This quotation provides an excellent interpretation of the real value history holds for us all. After all, what would our nation be without such legendary greats as Christopher Columbus, George Washington Carver, Abe Lincoln, and Susan B. Anthony? It is the direct aim of the history department to leave each student with the knowledge that it is the past that gives us a plan for the future. Just as our nation has a history, so does our school. The sense of history is illustrated through the pride and honor that is apparent in every teacher and student in the hall. The National Hon¬ or Society is perhaps the highest high school hon¬ or and a large contributor to the pride and heritage at Osbourn. Membership there stresses character development, leadership, service, and scholar¬ ship. This year the club began the foundation for a school scholarship fund, nominated two members for national scholarships, and inducted promising juniors and seniors as new members. Perhaps the largest force in our school histor y is the Student Council Association. A week prior to school opening found its members diligently work¬ ing toward a successful school year as they attended leadership workshops. At the school workshop the theme “IF ...” was chosen as a guide for the year. The Homecoming activities, sponsored by the SCA, featured the theme “If Fantasies Were Real ... ” Other important events were the Valentine Carnation sale, various assemblies, and many dances. The sense of history Osbourn possesses is in¬ deed something very special. It shows the unity and pride for which we all strive. 98 Academics Clubs Interested students add their names to a large list of candi¬ dates running for SAC offices.

History 99 Lending A Helping Hand Throughout our lives, both at home and in school, the importance of helping others has al¬ ways been stressed. Whether from parents, teachers, relatives or friends, we have constantly been urged to follow the Golden Rule — “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Through the many clubs and activities offered, many Osbourn students experience the pleasure, excitement, and self-satisfaction that comes from lending a helping hand. The Key Club and Keyettes are two joint clubs that join in the spirit of good will. Working closely with the Manassas chapter of the Kiwanis Club, the members work diligently to help unfortunate Chris Gatti served as the hard-working leader of the Key Club. members of the community. The Lionettes Club is also an organization that operates for the needy and unfortunate. With the constant backing and support of the Mannassas Lions Club, the girls strive to raise money for many, especially the blind and elderly. Activities such as frequent trips to Annaburg Manor, and the District Home for Bingo, community picnics, and shopping with needy children during Christmas, are all part of the cause. Whether you spend money, time, or just plain love, helping others will ultimately leave you with a feeling comparable to nothing else. It’s a great feeling — catch it!

When the wrestling team traveled to Christians- burg for the AA state Tourna¬ ment, they walked away with the state title. The seasons change, and so do the sports. Surprising everyone but themselves, the softball team flew through the season with a good shot at winning the district title. Though the titles may be¬ long to the entire teams, it is the individuals who deserve the credit. Where does it all begin? No team would be able to fully appreciate its success without the support of the fans. On the day of a home football game, the cheerleaders hold a pep rally in the gym during sixth period.

As the football season pro¬ gressed, different people tried to de¬ scribe the remarkable squad in many different ways, but the con¬ clusion was always the same — words just couldn ' t describe them. Somehow, fifty-odd guys had man¬ aged to pull together in perfect un¬ ison for three months. The result was an undefeated football team. They became the first team in our school ' s history to capture the Northwestern District title. From the first hot day of August practice until the eventual loss to State AA cham¬ pions, Courtland High School, the group worked as a unit, a team. Running back stand-out Jamie Thorne, an All-State selection, led the offense as he repeatedly crossed the end zone while the powerful arm and quick moves of Quarterback Andy Musgrove guided the team from one victory to another. Tough and durable, the defensive and offensive lines shared players whose skill improved with each quarter of hard action. With open ground in front of him, Jamie Thome (34) sets his strategy. The Eagles beat Waynesboro in our first playoff game.

The Eagles not only de¬ fended their Northwestern District and Region II titles; they also cap¬ tured their first AA State Champi¬ onship. The dual meet season began slowly because many of the team members were still involved in foot¬ ball. As the first match approached the team was still not in proper con¬ dition. The Eagles won a close one in their opener against Osbourn Park, but lost a very disappointing match to Park View just before Christmas. Over the break the team made a commitment and began to work harder. After Christmas, the Eagles won seven of their remaining eight matches, losing only to AAA Potomac. When the season ended, they had averaged better than 42 points per match while only giving up an average of 18 points. For the second time in as many years the team captured the district and regional titles. The Eagles took the title only after a close struggle with Park View. As a result of the district tournament, eleven mem¬ bers of the squad advanced to the regional tournament at Courtland High School.

Six of the eight won regional cham¬ pionships, and the team won by a margin of 73 Vi points. Ten of the eleven in the tournament advanced to the state tournament at Chris- tiansburg High School. After only two days of rest, the team again began to show its strength. Osbourn led in every round of the AA State Tournament. Seven members of the team placed in the tournament, four advancing to the finals. The Eagles built up such a lead that even though the team did not score a single point in the finals, the margin of victory was 25V 2 points. The Eagles lost six members of the squad to graduation. These young men will be hard to replace, but next year ' s team should still be a very good one. Seven members of the team will return and they will be joined by a good group of wrestlers up from the junior varsity. However, it is going to take a great deal of hard work if they are to come close to the success of the 1982-83 squad.

We realize that your time is valuable, and recognize your sincere interest in the Eyrie and the students. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Rorrer: Your cooperation was most valuable to the staff for the little details you were asked to do. We wish to especially thank you for your help on picture-taking days. Mr. Bennie Scarton, Jr.: Members of the staff have a special fondness for all your help. The donation of many quality pictures at last-minute Sunday night requests helped salvage more than one deadline. Mr. Talmadge Rutledge: Despite any confusion, the color shots of the senior class came out very well. Thank you. All members of the faculty: The staff wishes to apoli- gize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. We know that many plans were interrupted when students were taken from classes for pictures, and we truly appreciate all your patience. Ms. Robin Macher: Unfortunately, you found the hard way to learn the yearbook accounts. On the other hand, there isn’t an easy way. Thanks for sticking with us — you’ve brought some long-awaited orga¬ nization to the books. Mrs. Margaret Kaminsky: You were hesitant to take over the yearbook this year — we truly hope that you feel the decision was right. Perhaps you didn’t real¬ ize it, but you knew more about the yearbook busi¬ ness than some of us staff members. Thanks. The students: We know that we didn’t cover every day in detail in this book; we couldn’t cover all of it within our 160 page limits. We hope, though, that there is something mentioned that holds special memories for each and everyone of you. We wish to give a warm and special thank you to you, for without you, there would not be an Eyrie 1983. Parents of staff members: Thanks for giving rides and late-night munchies.

When ten minutes were added to second period to alter the homeroom policy and minimize tardies, students found it a lot harder to use the time for finishing up home¬ work. Nina Egidi, a senior, works on a math Analysis assignment during her Government homeroom. Too much to do, and no time left to do it Coming into our freshman year as inno¬ cents, we were the ones to whom the seniors tried to pawn off elevator tickets and pool passes. As sophomores, we began to work, but there was always a little incentive to look forward to — like a driv¬ er ' s license. When we became juniors, we had become up- perclassmen, and we flaunted it when our class rings arrived. Seniors — the last year. We had pictures to order, announcements to address, and finally, gradua¬ tion. It was over at last, but will not soon be forgotten. Closing 159 We Caught It From the day of orientation until the evening of graduation, a cer¬ tain warmness came to us when we spoke of our school. The mem¬ ories we have, though they may be fond or unpleasant, will stay with us. It ' s a great feeling — catch it. 160 Closing RELIC 371.8976 Osb 1983 Osbourn High School (Manassas, Va.)
