Also confronted by new faces and procedures, we found numerous changes. The student parking lot? The familiar asphalt was bombarded with bricks, dirt, and equipment! We invented creative parking spots, while some drivers “forgot” NOT to park in the teachers’ spaces. Though we were granted an extra minute to make it to classes, many of us still managed to be late in 6 minutes! Weighted grades were additions that pleased students who took high level courses. We grew accustomed to these changes and to our new principal, Mr. James Gpperman. While groans and moans occasionally accompanied Osbourn’s added dimensions, we sure had fun!!! by I Homecoming 3 x .v ,,e - °L- V e V ? n ® ' ,e fc , ' T Xx T he first major event of the school year — Homecoming Week — not only attracted old alummi home to their old high school: this festive week also provides for those still “stuck” in school, an opportunity to be creative noisy and spirited. The fun gets off to a start with dress-up week — everyone dressing as their favorite teacher one day, hat day the next, beach day the next, until finally the big day itself — Homecoming — arrives. The theme for this year was “Favorite Funnies.” which motivated everyone to work to win first prize to support their class funds. Floats from each class are judged for their beauty, originality and effort and each class has their own designated hall that they decorate with “spirit links.” The class with the most of these paper chains wins a cash prize. Homecoming I t half time, the junior class, with its float of “Hagar the Horrible”, was awarded $75 for the Junior Senior Prom. The spirit links contest earned both the sop homores and seniors $25. These activities generated electricity for the main events — the football game and the Homecoming dance. The night before the game, spirited crowds gathered for the bonfire, which welcomed a 16-14 victory over Warren County. In the midst of the excitement, the Homecoming Court was introduced, including the Queen, Julie Daniel, Kelly Grizzle, Lisa Lu, Cassandra Zangas, Susan Leshuk, Laura VanWyen, Carin Bradley, Jenny Laird, Christie Badgley, and Tia Egidi. Ending the festive week, the Homecoming Dance was the climax of the fun, spirit, and entertainment. “7 Homecoming I f you ever wondered how you tolerated the noises of workmen (always quite loud during test time), the dirt that frequently attacked your car, or the overall messy appearance of the building you went to each day, you were not alone. Since the construction began, the school rarely had a peaceful moment. But the chaos was endured because of what it would bring. Imagine the brand new gym full of fans! Or the extra cafeteria space and the additional serving lines! AND remember the 200+ new parking spaces that would soon be available! For those who had braved the rain, sleet, and fierce winds of Mother Nature, consider the warmth and convenience of new heated classrooms! After a moment’s thought, all the noise, dust, and aggravation are worth it — a new and improved school. ) e ' o ' Construction 9 k( A % c� v V- ,V xY-S a® ' - ' ev „ £ f one day, you spot a person with hair smoothed to the skull, excepting a few spikes and a bleached tail, do not panic it is NOT an alien. It is merely an everyday student keeping up with the latest fads. Later, you may spot the more conservative type of student. Characterized by short, wavy hair (alias the “bob”), bulky forenzatype sweaters in assorted colors, and stone- washed jeans or baggy, cropped dress pants, this person, too, is in fashionable attire. Accessories twisted beads and long, dangling earrings of all shapes, sizes and colors can also be found. To find the appropriate selection of old woolen coats, button-up sweaters, or wild patterned skirts, just visit your local thrift shop! Drawing from a variety of sources, today’s styles are definitely interesting to see!!! Fads 1 1 A lthough the number of pep rallies held was relatively short, the spirit emerging from them made up for this in loudness. At the Annual Miss Osbourn Park Pageant, crowds cheered for their favorite candidates and yelled together to support their own class. More and more students gathered to help cheer the teams on to victory, and afterwards danced enthusiastically during one of the few dances held. Classes supported one another by joining in the spirit and buying fund raisers such as candy bars, Santa Clauses and pens. Together, the student body merged into one and its spirit shined forth. : T lo A , ' ' : E veryone knows that the student body as a whole makes up a school. However, many different types of people make up this unity. Some students prefer to think of school as a social gathering while others perceive it as an academic foothold on the steps to success. Some breeze through classes by writing notes, sleeping, or reading romance novels; others listen diligently. Some make a point to attend all athletic events while some would rather enjoy the solitude of their own home. But however diverse the students may be, the student body as a whole is together and makes the school special. o� 5 ' a 0 ® Students 15 Seniors 17 1 8 People Divider ,, ° w N nQ, e Y- eS e -.c? aV v cf 2jg b ? v ?

Monies from all the car washes, concession stands, and other senior activi¬ ties went toward the Senior Banquet, Senior Trip, and scholarships for outstanding members of the class. In the fall, the class spon¬ sored a car wash, several con¬ cession stands, and a Home¬ coming float. The seniors cele¬ brated the Walt Disney theme with a 50th Anniversary Donald Duck float. During the winter months, seniors participated in the annu¬ al Senior Teaching Day. In place of the traditional Senior Follies, Acid Reign — a band comprised of members of the senior class — put on a show. The class sponsored a dance after the performance. In Febru¬ ary, the seniors againprovided the popular computer dating service for Valentine’s Day. The biggest fundraiser of the year, the Miss Osbourn Pag¬ eant, took place in early Spring. Other money-makers included the Teacher-Item Auction and the Senior-Faculty basketball game, which the students won. The most important events occured at the close of the year — graduation, the Senior Ban¬ quet and Trip. All of the activi¬ ties were conducted entusiasti- cally, though students were ea¬ gerly looking forward to college or joining the work force. by Alison Alten Senior Pat Robinson holds a piece of cake for the groom, Rodney Grayson, after their wedding, a ‘mock wedding’, was held in the Spring.

Looking at the event nonchalantly, one could say it simply signified the end of twelve years of schooling. But ask a graduate of 1985, and you will find that June 13th was not “just an¬ other day”. Most of the changes gradu¬ ation brought were welcomed with open arms plagued with senioritis. Who would miss catching a bus or finding a park¬ ing space at 7:42 am each morn¬ ing? No more strategically posi¬ tioned hall monitors, wooden passes, or required (and dread¬ ed) Science projects! Goodbye to trudging out to TCs in Artie weather or April showers. Fare¬ well to Orsini and Weber name stamps and . . . But wait a moment. Opti¬ on graduation morning, seniors (soon- to-be-graduates) gathered for com¬ mencement rehearsal. Here the alpha- mism could not hide the unwel come changes. Important deci¬ sions had to be made about con¬ tinuing school or finding a job. There would be no tardy sys¬ tem next year, true, but time late will either register on a pay- check or go unnoticed by an in¬ different professor. And Teach¬ ers workdays? Not a viable ex¬ cuse for an absence at work. We have always been told, “Treasure your high school years; they will be your best.” Well, those years are over and there is no turning back. We are adults now, graduates with a di¬ ploma to boot! So a fond fare¬ well to teachers, tardies, TCs, classmates, Gerstle’s phobias, lunch shifts, and everything else, and wish us luck!!! by Elena Noel Park betical lineup on the tract starts with the girls with last names that begin with “P’ Class of 1985 23 •UUISill - 7 = Karen L.

Though the junior girls demonstrated organization and a strong defense, the Senior team triumphed in th e annual Powder Puff game, 12-0. O n April 17, 1985, the traditional role-chang¬ ing Powder Puff foot¬ ball game took place. Senior and Junior girls competed against each other in a tough game of “flag football”, while the males of the classes be¬ came cheerleaders to show their spirit. Before the whistle had even sounded to start the game, the cheerleaders began playing pranks, as the Juniors threw two dozen eggs at the Senior cheerleaders. Both classes pre¬ sented impressive billboards; the Juniors modeled one that in¬ vited fans to attend “The Sen¬ iors’ Final Appearance”. How¬ ever, once on the field, the Ju¬ niors were cut down to size. The flag football game more resembled tackle, and dirty playing was not penalized. Ju¬ nior Sandy Hack commented that “in practice our coaches told us to play clean, but once on the field it all changed. That was half the fun!” In the first half, Senior quar¬ terback Tracy Presock had lit¬ tle luck in passing, but handing off to Suzanne Washington pulled in 6 points for the Sen¬ iors. The Juniors’ efforts, though skilled, were not appar¬ ent on the scoreboard. Then the half-time events be¬ gan, providing entertainment for all the onlookers. First, the Junior squad attempted to soak the Seniors with a water chase. Luckily for the Seniors, their plan of attack was more careful¬ ly planned. Mixtures of un¬ speakable substances became ammunition for warfare. Junior Marc Zapf and Senior Sean Wil¬ son agreed that “it got messy, but we had a great time!” In the second half, the Sen¬ iors achieved another touch¬ down with the quickness and agility of Suzane Washington, once again. This was when the hope of a Junior victory be¬ came dim, and “ruffing it up” for show became their intent. Though the Seniors tri¬ umphed on the scoreboard, the Juniors were not the losers. The purpose of the game was to have fun, and all the players, cheerleaders, and spectators accomplished that!!! by Sandy Hack Though the Junior class displayed its artistic talents in this threatening billboard, the game did not turn out as it prophesized. The role-changing at the Powder Puff game extended to both sexes. Senior cheer¬ leader Crett Mitchell keeps track of the action on the field, while both Crett and rah- rah Mike Papa bring stripes back into style. i Class of 1985 25 Brian L.

Pereira Senators for a Day O n Friday. March 8, 1985, the Gnited States Senate met in the school auditorium for an impor¬ tant legislative session. The “Senators” were Mrs. Koman’s senior government students who role-played real G.S. Sena¬ tors. Preparation for the Senate Simulation began with the stu¬ dents writing to their assigned Senators for personal informa¬ tion and views on current legis¬ lation. After receiving the Sena¬ tors’ replies, the students com¬ pleted profiles on their Senators and the states they represent. Each student was assigned to a Senate Subcommittee, where he or she argued and debated over bills that came through the committee. If a bill passed through committee it was placed on the Senate docket — or agenda — for full Senate con¬ sideration. During the Senate Simula¬ tion, each student acted as his or her Senate counterpart. Mrs. Koman (alias President of the Senate George Bush) informed the Senators that the President required her attentions at the White House, thus leaving the session in the President pro tempore ' s control. Heated de¬ bate on many important bills en¬ sued, including aid to Central American countries, actions against drug smuggling, protec¬ tion of America’s embassies, and parental consent for abor¬ tion, which brought about the most vehement arguments of the session. The Senate Simulation proved to be a real learning ex¬ perience for all the students in¬ volved. The success of the exer¬ cise was confirmed by Mrs. Ko¬ man: “Student involvement is the best possible way to learn the inner workings of govern¬ ment.” by Alison Alten Mike McGrail role-plays Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson as he presents a bill for adoption.

Recognize the above choices? If you are an upper¬ classman, chances are you do. Among countless other ques¬ tions, the Student Search Ser¬ vice is asked about on, yes, the dreaded SAT, a crucial item if your future plans include col¬ lege. The average SAT-taker checks the first box, desiring as much information as possible from colleges to help him choose a school. Little does he suspect that during the next few months, his mailbox will be deluged with letters, invita¬ tions, brochues, and other ma¬ terials to show him the “perfect place” for a student like him. It is baffling. After all, there are so many options and choices concerning college. Should he study in-state? Does he want a large or small student body? Co-ed or single sex school and dorms? Meanwhile, his confusion is heightened by endless pamphlets and guides sent via the Postal Service urg¬ ing him to come to a city that he has never heard of, to a state he has never visited. But do not despair, there is hope. It is provided in the form of senior Guidance Counselor Celinda Mitchell. Her office be¬ comes crowded with students requesting recommendations, information, encouragement, transcripts, and of course, guid- ance. So with the help of friends, family, and teachers, he picks a couple colleges where he would like to go to, not for¬ getting the all-important “safe¬ ty school”. College applications. Neat lit¬ tle typed forms demanding par¬ ticulars from where his mother went to college (if she in fact did at all), what his nickname is, and how many siblings he has (and their ages!). And then there are the ESSAYS. Talk about Creative Writing! “What are your lifetime goals? Why are you applying to this school? If you could solve one problem in the universe, what would it be?” And so on . . . Recommendations, tran¬ scripts, essays, personal data — all of his life on four pain¬ stakingly neat, typed papers. So he sends them off to meet the application deadlines, after calculating the amount of days that it will take them to arrive on schedule After a 4:55 pm dash to the Post Office, his part is over. He waits. Three months later, he is still waiting. Osbourn’s halls are filled with anxious, expectant seniors who rush home to emp¬ ty mailboxes each day. His friends ask him “Have you heard yet”? almost daily. Then it is April, and the majority of rejections and acceptances hit the applicant. Though the whole admis¬ sions procedure is quite a strain, no one is more elated than the applicant if his efforts are rewarded with an accep¬ tance. To think that we spend so much energy trying to stay in school!!!! by Elena Noel Park Flashing a smug grin, Lori Karalow proudly displays her letter of acceptance from her first-choice college, Randolph-Macon Woman s College. Like any other seniors, Lori filled out endless application forms and essays in hopes of being admitted to the college of her preference. This senior ' s efforts certainly paid off; Lori will be enrolling at Rar.dolph-Macon in the fall. J Class of 1985 31 Looking ' Sock S eniors were asked to re¬ call their fondest, worst, or most outstanding memory of high school. Here were some responses: Eric Gorgas — My worst mem¬ ory is of moving here in the 1 Oth grade, and not knowing anyone, but it turned into my best mem¬ ory because I met Amy White. Arurs Bansal — My worst memory was taking a Math Analysis exam twice because my first test was lost. My best memory was getting an “A” on it! Jennifer Spurlin — My best memory of my high school years is really a combination of two, both dealing with the “in¬ ternational experience’’. The first was my year with Hanna, our Finish exchange student, and the second was my month in Australia playing soccer. Cindy Gerson — My best memory? Powder-puff prac¬ tices Junior and Senior years — Everyone just being themselves and having a great time. And we won BOTH years! Crett Mitchell — I remember the time we pulled Mrs. Ko- man’s stuffed dummy across the floor. We attached fishing line to the dummy and slowly pulled it across the floor while Mrs. Koman was lecturing. She caught us, though, when she tripped over the fishing line! Alison Alten — My junior year was undoubtably my best year at Osbourn. And the best thing that happened? I was accepted for the Governor’s School 1984. Governor ' s School gave me a wonderful preview of what lies beyond Osbourn’s walls — I can’t wait! Governor’s School was, however, only one month. I received the same sort of inspi¬ ration for an entire school year from Mrs. Kaminskey and the 6th period English class. Thanks very much. Compiled by Elena Park Randy S.

Howev¬ er, no medical experts were consulted nor notified of this ill¬ ness, a chronic condition dread¬ ed by all school administrators SENIORITIS and educators world-wide. What prompted this lack of as¬ sertive action to remedy this sickness? Past experience. At the present, no known cure or treatment exists to counteract this condition, commonly re¬ ferred to as SENIORITIS. Resident mad scientist and phobia expert Bradley Gerstle was asked to give his definition of this illness: a disabling mal¬ ady affecting those approach¬ ing the end of their 12th year in school, though in some cases the disease has taken more than the normal 12 years to show its effects. It has been known to cause failure in extreme cases. Some symptoms of this disease include a lack of initiative, an inability to concentrate, and a general disregard for rules and authority. The symptoms can be supressed by graduation, but no effective cure has been dis¬ covered. Victims of SENIORITIS were asked to comment on what is actually is, or their actions be¬ cause of the disease. Cindy Gerson: It is the uncon¬ trollable urge to say it just doesn’t matter. Kathallene Hin- iker: My personal experience of senioritis involves getting caught skipping 20times in two months! Elena Noel Park: Sen¬ ioritis is getting a 48 on a Calcu¬ lus test, and being happily sur¬ prised to score that high (?)! Chris Hinders: I’ve been accept¬ ed to the college of my choice, and my teachers are still going strong loading on the home¬ work. There is nothing to look forward to except the end of school. So why bother? (Edi¬ tor’s Comment: Do not worry; Chris did manage to do enough work to still graduate in June!) Bruce Paterson: Senioritis is ex¬ treme laziness and not wanting to do anything. Carol Ann Suth- erlin: I don ' t know what it is, but 1 got if bad! Mrs. Virginia Henry (math teacher): Senioritis is a downhill slide. So ends another year at Os¬ bourn High School, with more case studies of Senioritis exam¬ ined. Sadly for some, no clues point to the cure of this disease, and this victim doubts that one will ever be found. by Elena Noel Park Attitude and Appearance: disturbing disre¬ gard for authority, deadlines, and responsibilities displayed; carefree and nonchalant in appearance Behavior: rudeness, laziness, and listlessness noted Thought and Thought Content: N A (no visible thought displayed) Mood and Affect: irritable, impatient; sudden interest in life when the word graduation” is spoken DIAGNOSIS: Senioritis PROGNOSIS guarded DEGREE OF SEVERITY: dangerously se¬ vere RECOMMENDATION: Graduation!!!

T he votes came in, were tabulated, and the re¬ sults were announced at the Senior Banquet. These were elections where all seniors were eligible, like it or not. It was not necessary to register to vote, or to declare an intent to run for a position (though some did cam¬ paign). What elections were these? Senior Superlatives! One of the many senior rites, ballots were handed out to each senior so that he could cast 64 votes — voting for one male and one female for each of the 32 categories. Some forms were turned in immediately, some were the results of careful and reflective thought. 64 of the Most and the Best of 1985 were selected, and a few are pictured on the next four pages. The above group shot of all the Superlative winners was taken after the Senior Banquet. by Elena Park Troy Gordon and Amy Lehfeldt are caught on film doing the very thing that won them superlatives — sleeping!

It is plain to see how Ellen Waugh and Jerry Verrone were thought to have the Best Smiles. ___ Class of 1985 39 Lost Suppeii I f you go to Warrenton, you’ve missed the turn. So read a hint on the direc¬ tions drawn up to guide 144 sen¬ iors to the Airlie House for the traditional Senior Banquet. On that Thursday evening, May 23, 1985, the persistent rainfall had graciously subsided to make way for a gorgeous night, per¬ fect for a formal dinner. Seniors arrived by the car¬ load to be greeted in the foyer of Airlie by Principal James Up- perman and Senior Sponsor Howard Kinitsky. After ascend¬ ing the Tara-like stairway that led to the dining room, the smashingly dressed students and teachers began to socialize at the event which had been ar¬ ranged by Mrs. Margaret Ka¬ minsky. Chase Rice, Class Vice Presi¬ dent, opened the formalities as he assumed the role of Master of Ceremonies. He introduced Senior Guidance Counselor Ce- linda Mitchell, who read a beau¬ tiful Invocation to precede din¬ ner. Though few touched the to¬ mato juice, the dinner was deli¬ cious and was eaten during con¬ stant conversation. After the meal, the mood was one of ex¬ pectation and excitement, and so the evening’s program com¬ menced. Principal James Gpperman was first on the list, and he de¬ livered “Remarks (as stated in the program) that were both hu¬ morous and touching. He re¬ called varous incidents V_ throughout the year, and high¬ lighted seniors deserving credit for special achievements. 54 individuals were then rec¬ ognized, but for completely dif¬ ferent reasons, such as having the best body, or talking the most. These were the infamous Senior Superlatives, announced amidst laughter and surprise by Elena Park. Sometimes the heartiest laughs came from the faculty tables, especially at the people who captured Apple Pol¬ ishers, BS’ers, and Class Sleep¬ ers. The high point of the banquet came with the Senior Proph¬ esies, adroitly delivered by Lori Karalow, who helped to write them with the aid of 6 other sen¬ iors. Each prophesy was fol¬ lowed by laughter, embarras- ment, and surprise. Each sen¬ ior, prior to that night, had no idea what he would be doing in 10 years! To end the entertainment, Senior Class Secretary Tracy Presock then read the closing. Before she did that, however, she and Chase presented Head Sponsors Howard Kinitsky and Laura Rollins with Jefferson cups from the class, with much thanks and appreciation. A prayer followed, and suddenly the banquet, like the school year, felt like it had passed by too quickly. Graduation be¬ came even more real, and though no one objected to that last rite, people were somber and elated at the same time. by Elena Par k With dramatic flair, Lori Karalow masterfully delivers one of the 144 senior proph¬ esies. Though Lori ' s prophesy was that she would be found beaten to a pulp and found in the bushes at Airlie after telling the funny and sometimes, sarcastic prophesies, she survived the evening in the best of health. Let ' s see where these two graduates would be in 10 years: Ben Cole was found locked in a cage in a zoo. It was rumored that he fell in love with a lion. Margie Fox, however, took to an academic life. She became the president of (J. Va and was also the school mascot. Go Hoos!!! 40 Seniors Jennifer Spurlin illustrates her words with her hand motions, while Kathy Straten looks on. Jennifer was prophe- sized to join Kurt Keller to instruct an E Z Method Driving School, while Kathy was predicted to be kicked out of Mary Washington College. Don ' t worry though, Kathy was later found continu¬ ing her education at Old Dominion Uni¬ versity. Anne Ashton explodes into laughter as Melissa Young’s (left) prophesy is told . . . Melissa was to run the Osbourn High School office, once Mrs. Orsini sur¬ rendered her famous rubber stamp. .J I Class of 1985 41 p in in tRe (?Qi m t the local Shoney’s the A morning before, 63 of the soon-to-be-graduates con¬ gregated for their second and last Senior Breakfast. On this day, June 7, 1985, the Class of ’85 assembled for one of its final school-sponsored events, the Senior Trip at Silver Lake. Cinder cloudy, discouraging skies, two busloads of students and sponsors arrived at their des¬ tination at 10:30 am. Quickly in¬ vestigating the rustic Haymarket campground, seniors discovered a game room, ping-pong table, campsite, playground, canoes, boats, and a lake to swim in (com¬ plete with a small sand area dubbed the “beach”). As the wind carried the aroma of hamburgers and hotdogs to all noses at Silver Lake a short time later, hunger brought the class back together again. With head cook Mr. Lake (aided by chefs Kinitsky and Upperman) man¬ ning the cookout, lunch was served. As the meal concluded, a light persistent rain began to fall, but it distracted no one from having fun! Animal lovers befriended resident ducks by offering them cheese and bread, while others chose to have roasted marshmal¬ lows for dessert. One group de¬ parted on a nature hike (though the threat of poison ivy soon drove them back). The lake also provided some entertainment, from swimming to renting canoes and boats to travel on the water. Those who opted for sunbathing (when the sun decided to make rare cameo appearances) found themselves in danger of being thrown in the lake! Then at 1:30 pm, the Scaven¬ ger Hunt began. Composed of 3 people, each team was handed a list of 20 items (courtesy of Lori Karalow) to beg, borrow, and steal. After a flurry of mad activ¬ ity, and a few essential changes in the list made by amused mem¬ bers of the faculty, the hunt end¬ ed. While Mr. Kinitsky an¬ nounced that Phuong Hiu, Lance Miller, Alison Alten, and Elena Park were the winners, Mrs. Al¬ brecht promised each of them an official Osbourn sweatshirt! By this time, the rain was fall¬ ing quite heavily, but it did not prevent a hysterical event of skinnydipping or a slippery soft- ball game. Though soaked, ex¬ hausted, and muddy, the entire day was a success. Mother Na¬ ture found that it takes more than bad weather to prevent this sen¬ ior class from having a blast!!! by Elena Park Braving the unchartered territory of Silver Lake, Jerry Verrone and Mike Rose investi¬ gate the waters while Mark Whisenant hitches a ride.

Taking a break after lunch, John Flem¬ ming offers a piece of bread to a feath¬ ered friend. For nature ' s eyes only. Adventuresome seniors bare their souls as they model their bathing suits above their heads. With a befuddled look, Margie Fox wonders where her team will be able to find some of the obscure things listed on the Scavenger Hunt list. Theresa Tetley clutches a necessary can of the NEW Coke, while remaining teammates Ben Cole and Eliza¬ beth Detweiler eagerly search for anything that might prove helpful. To find the desired items, students raided trashcans, residents (knocking on the doors of near¬ by campers), tourists, and the personal belongings of anyone present.

On this hot, sun¬ ny day, June 9, 1985, future graduates assembled at the tra¬ ditional church service, Bacca¬ laureate. This was the first official use of the blue and gray academic robes and mortarboards. As seniors excitedly gathered out¬ side the church and in the down¬ stairs hallway, questions like “Do you have any extra bobby pins?” and “Which side is the tassle supposed to be on?” were asked. At 3:00 pm, the crowded hall¬ way quickly became organized into two somewhat parallel lines, girls on the right, guys on the left. As the class solemnly strode to its seats, relatives and friends viewed the procession proudly. Citing the Invocation, Dr. Ed¬ ward Bratcher opened the pro¬ gram. The Jazz Choir then per¬ formed a hymn, Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace”. Recalling fond memories of the last four years, Bob Franklin then delivered his President’s Address. He was followed by Dr. Bratcher, who urged his lis¬ teners to be wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove”. After music of Beethoven and Mozart performed by the Symphonic Orchestra and String Quartet, Dr. Bratcher concluded the service with the Benediction. That short 45 min¬ utes brought the seniors one step closer to the final senior rite — Graduation!!! by Elena Park Class of 1985 45 Nots ojjjj to you!!! June 13, 1985. On that brisk, chilly morn¬ ing, none of us soon-to-be graduates were per¬ mitted to sleep past 8:30 am. Instead, we met at the football stadium, ready for graduation rehearsal. The ceremony was playacted amidst enthusiastic cheers from the partici¬ pants; we received two indoor commence¬ ment tickets (which we all prayed we would not need) and instructions on proper gradu¬ ation etiquette. All of us listened to directions in good, though loud, humor. After all, we were almost out! Practice ended with some people planning to grab some shut-eye, and others arranging to meet for lunch. However the rest of that Thurs¬ day was spent, our thoughts did not stray from what was to occur in just 8 hours! Passing through the gates at 6:30 pm, each of us beheld the sight of dozens of blue and gray robed figures, some embracing or laugh¬ ing, others looking disquietingly somber. No one escaped the threat of the gusty winds, seemingly intent on dismantling the carefully placed mortarboards. We were alphabetized after the females picked up their roses, gifts from the class funds, then the procession be¬ gan. Seeking out family members and friends in the stands, we marched down the track and to our seats. We recited the Pledge and sang the National Anthem, then bowed in prayer as Reverend George Wirsing spoke the Invoca¬ tion. Elizabeth Detweier delivered her Valedic¬ tory Address and was followed by Margaret Kaminsky, who was selected by the senior class as the Faculty Speaker. Then came the Surprise Speaker. This individual was not aware that he would give a speech in the absense of the guest speaker, who had been detained. Still, Princi¬ pal James Upperman delivered an impromptu speech that was both interesting and amusing. The ceremony concluded with no other mis¬ haps. Valedictorian Leslie Wright’s Address, and the presentation and confirmation of di¬ plomas followed as planned. After the confirmation of diplomas, caps suddenly filled the sky, accompanied by tears, hugs, and sighs of relief. While loved ones of the GRADUATES flooded the field, one senior recalled the words of the Senior Banquet pray¬ er: Be yourself. You are a child of the universe; you have a right to be here. Be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. Strive to be happy. by Elena Noel Park ■ « ' � :-■ wr fe ' 1 - One of two class valedictorians, Leslie Wright delivers her address.

Class of 1985 47 _Improving and_ Reaching Their Goals Members of the Junior Class worked diligently to make the 1985 prom a special event. Surveys of loca¬ tion preference were taken and per¬ mission was granted to hold the prom at the Ramada Inn. Juniors were able to take it easy on fund raisers due to their very successful efforts in their freshman and sophomore years. During this 84-85 year, juniors sold chocolate Santas at Christmas sea¬ son, sponsored the annual Powder Puff Football game and collected dues. The creative talents of juniors produced the winning Homecoming float for the second consecutive year. Junior Class officers were: Presi¬ dents, Packy Orndorff and Richard Kim; Secretary, Kelly Taylor; and Treasurer, Laura Van Wyen. Mrs. Joyce Whisenant, head faculty spon¬ sor, provided her support and guid¬ ance to the officers and class mem¬ bers. — by Laura Van Wyen Checking over her typing assignment, Annette Taliaferro laughs at her errors, while sopho¬ more Ian MacDonald prepares to type his share.

Although juniors have truck loads of schoolwork and few special priviledges, the third year of high school is still quite enjoyable! There are many things to look forward to in the junior year. For start¬ ers, juniors are considered “upperclass¬ men” by themselves and the underclass¬ men, though not often by the seniors. Also, juniors have the option of taking weighted classes which can greatly boost the grade point average. Class rings, drivers’ licenses, and Prom are events that make the junior year special. Though some talented freshmen and sophomores may letter in Varsity sports, students letter their junior year by par¬ ticipating in Varsity athletics. The only major drawback to the eleventh grade is the schoolwork. Upcoming juniors may look forward to a lot of reading, at least two major term papers, and multitudes of unadulterated busy work. Juniors may also expect to take the SAT’s, and begin looking for a choice college or fu¬ ture career. Underclassmen need not be terrified, though, because with a little initiative, one’s junior year is fun and exciting! Besides, once you are a junior, you are half-way there! by Leslie Klipp Moments before the bell’s aggravating ring, Karrie Mautone pauses to hear what Lee Mergler has to say.

Traditional activities included a candy sale and a car wash. In January, sopho¬ mores sold unusual pens — those with a fuzzy nose on the top! The tape deck raffle, however, ended in catastrophe when the jar of M M’s — the basis for the raffle — was stolen! By the end of the year, the sophomore coffers had grown enough to have a great start on prom. Finally, the class officers collected $2.00 class dues. The year was complet¬ ed as sophomores helped serve at the junior prom to prepare themselves for next year’s big activity. One disadvantage of the sophomore is harder work.

It may be the most boring year in high school. Freshman are new to the school, and everything done that year is new and different. Juniors are up¬ perclassmen. They get a prom and class rings. Seniors get to graduate at the end of the year, and what could be better than that? Sophomores don’t get to do anything different. All soph¬ omores get to do is think about being juniors. Some things about tenth grade are O.K. The freshmen get picked on, not the sophomores, and the work isn’t real hard either. Being in tenth grade isn’t real bad, but it could be better. — by Mandy Sauter After much though and delibera¬ tion, here goes . . . What’s nice about being a sophomore?

You’re not a, God forbid, fresh¬ man, but you’re still not a big, bad upperclassman, right in the middle. Your classes aren’t that hard and you don’t really have to worry about col¬ leges, etc. As a 10th grader you have life as an upperclassman for the next two years and all the “status” that gives you. Sophomore, by the way, means ‘wise-fool’, possibly symboliz¬ ing the transition from under to upper classman, from fool to wise man. All in all, life as a sophomore is easy go¬ ing, but still involves work to prepare for next year. — Nick Alten Bruce Lang Bessie La Rochelle Stacey Lawrence Georgia Lee Fred Leonard David Lenk Ray Lewis Madhavi Lockhande Mary Lovelace Christine Lowry Jody Lunders Christine Luong Ian MacDonald Robin MacMillan Bert Manchee Sonya Marmo Jakki Mathis John Mauk Sean McAndrew Antoinette McCarthy Jimmy McCusker i Billy McGarvey Chris McGrail Heather McLaughlin __y Class of ’87 61 Steve McCready David Michael Claire Michaels Randy Middelton Shaun Middleton Jennifer Miller Andy Mills Brian Mitchell Chad Mitchell Westley Moats Christopher Molina Jeannie Moreland Yvonne Morris Kenneth Moss Jimmy Mullins Shirley Myers Matt Nelson Long Nguyen Marc Nigreville Renee Niziolek Lori Olsen Brian O ' Neill Nora Oney Kevin Orndorff k_ Sophomores Shreve Orndorff Gregg Osi ol Tina Pannell Steve Parker LeAnne Pattie Christine Pawloski Patty Pearson Donna Peters Tim Payton Kathy Pope Steve Potts Justin Powers Ted Proctor Ricky Pryor Ida Rademacher David Rathke Johnny Reese Jamie Richer Diane Robinson Staci Rogers Andy Rose Alan Roye Mark Ruiz Jeni Sandberg Vilma Santos Mandy Sauter Stephanie Sayers Felicia Schmidt Kathy Schmidtlein Greg Schuster Mike Seidlinger Carla Shanholtz Thomas Sharp Jerry Shepard Cory Shepherd Dale Short Nicole Sinacore Denise Smelser Brian Snook April Somerville Class of ’87 63 “What’s it Like to be a Sophomore? Being in the tenth grade has opened my eyes to a few more worldly things. Probably not because of the grades, but because I’m getting older. Because of this, new opportunities have been opened up. But that ' s not what I’m here to write about. As a tenth grader, I’ve realized the meaning of the words re¬ search paper, science project, and the likes. Basically the meaning is no sleep for 48 hours. Tenth grade has also ; shown me that things really do get hard- l er each year and that I have to engage ; better study habits or my grade will J plummet into the ground. Tenth grade means new friends, new crisis, new clothes, new haircuts, old worries com¬ ing back to haunt and new ones just be¬ ginning. This school year is one that I will never forget, yet never want to re¬ live. It has its ups and downs as all years, but I can’t say it hasn ' t been interesting. I ' m just glad it’s almost over! 1 — by Ida Rademacher Being a sophomore is much different than I expected. I realize that his is “it” : — you know how people always say “these are the best years of your life.” Huh? I wonder where they grew up?! School, homework, and school-related activities take up the majority of my time. I’m lucky to get any sleep! Sure it’s fun at times, but if these are the best years I’m not counting on a very happy life. When you’re a sophomore it’s hard! Everyone is waiting to turn 16, so he can get his driver’s license. You don’t want to be considered an underclassman be¬ cause the freshman years is tough, but you’re in the middle. Being a sophomore to me is hard fun, and confusing! I’m not going to listen to others, because I am looking forward to better years! — by Jenny Laird Sophomore Shannon Cucciardo between lectures.

In October, near Homecoming the freshmen spirit began to shine. The Freshmen float (The Great Pumpkin Patch) took second place in the Home¬ coming Parade, Float contest. Differ¬ ent characters from the float were used Slow Start . as decorations for the Homecoming dance. At the last pep rally everyone showed their spirit by yelling loud, proving their true spirit to the upper¬ classmen and administration. The Freshmen had many sales. They sold school calenders at the be¬ ginning of the year, balloons at the Homecoming game, chimers were sold • • during the Christmas season, a few bake sales were held at the school events, and on the day of the Prom, Freshmen had a car wash.

In her fourth year of studying music, she also qualified for the position of third chair flute in the Junior Regional Band. In addition to her studies — in which she is an honor student — she enjoys swimming and working at Eleanor’s in the mall. “I really don’t mind being a fresh¬ man,” Christy laughed, adding, “At least it will be over soon!” Of her classes at Osbourn, she likes English best. She enjoys reading and writing, especially poetry; she won the National Careers Poetry Contest at Dean as an eighth-grader, and entered the national competition. “I’m not sure what I’d like to do when I get out of school,’’ reflected the multi-talented Christy, although she ex¬ pressed interest in “writing, teaching, or the performing arts.” by Linda Beail Steve Fox Mike Frewen Matt Galitz Steve Gareis Karyl Gibson Alice Glaze Gina Glaze Larry Glock Keli Gooding Aaron Gosney Bruce Gray Chris Gray Diane Griffin Susan Grimes Kelly Grove Michael Gueriera Nicole Guerrero Kyle Gwaves Andrea Haggerty Robin Hammond Chris Harper Blake Harris Beverly Hawkins Paul Heitzel _ Class of ’88 69 Renee Hensley Bobby Herb Shellie Hill Stephanie Hill Lynn Hines Tuan Hiv Kathy Hoban Mike Hogan Terry Hogan Charles Holderness Joy Houser Mike Howell Paul Hunt Louis Jackson Phillip Jefferies Cindy Jenkins Larry Jenkins Robbie Jewell Buffie Johnson Mark Johnson William Johnson Mike Joyce Heather Kaldes Jenny Kane Wendy Karalus Angela Kiger Pat Kincheloe Kelly Kirspel Leroy Kiser Randy Knowles David Kulakowski Jeri LaChance Mitchell Lagerstrom Ken Largen Gary Layne Cheri Lee V___ During one of the several home football games, Dale Deh- lin displays his enthusiasm for fun while Maureen Fisher and Keith Coughlin look on. 70 Freshmen Caught in the act of cleaning out his locker, Keith Coughlin hurries to finish the job before the next class.

Trying out for their posi¬ tions within a section such as violin, viola, cello, and bass can be a frighten¬ ing experience for someone just start¬ ing out. Seven members of the class of ' 88 have braved these adversities and are now active members of the orches¬ tra. These members are Jennifer White, Cara McCoy, Mitch Lager- strom, Chrissy Flemming, Kelly Good¬ ing, Lisa Blackwell, and Amy Steketee. To Cara McCoy, freshman bass play¬ er, becoming a member of the orches¬ tra is just another exciting, different ex¬ perience that she has been involved with since the beginning of her high school “career”. Cara explained her reason for choosing the bass by saying, “It was different, not many others played it.” And when asked what was different about the high school orches¬ tra, Cara replied, “Mr. Boehm makes the class interesting.” Cara plans to take orchestra for her entire four-year stay in high school, her ultimate goal to become the principle bass, a position that senior Bob Frank¬ lin currently holds. Being the principle bass requires much effort and practice, and Cara seems determined to work hard to achieve her goal. She recalls her first months in orchestra as “differ¬ ent, but easy to get used to.” And be¬ sides playing with an orchestral group, Cara plans to attend the annual Solo Ensemble competition held in April for those who are interested in performing as soloists to earn a medal for their efforts. Cara, as well as her six other fresh¬ men classmates, eagerly looks forward to her musical career and, with deter¬ mination that generally characterizes a music student, she hopes to gain, out of her four-year experience, a better un¬ derstanding of music and increase her talents in the orchestral group.

He says, “They make the music of the fu¬ ture, they have an incredible sound, and they are the most beautiful in ap¬ pearance and character — warm, sen¬ sitive, vibrant, and keenly aware of the mysteries of life. They put that into their music, which makes them so spe¬ cial.” Roy has a positive attitude toward school. He “respects the school, enjoys it very much,” and thinks “education is very important for everyone.” He likes the teachers because they are easy to communicate with. “Fair” is V___ the word Roy uses to describe the schedules for everyone at Osbourn. Music is his favorite subject in school “because the directors are great.” Very proud to be a freshman, Roy is upset with the attitudes of some upper¬ classmen. For example, during lunch an upperclassmen might push or cut in front of a freshman. The most common upperclassman abuse is the use of de¬ rogatory names and manners. Cruel¬ ness is not in Roy’s vocabulary be¬ cause “it’s not necessary for anyone, anywhere to be cruel.” He believes no child is bad from the beginning; they just imitate their environment. Roy has accomplished many things through school. He has become a danc¬ er, class president, singer, and a musi¬ cian by playing piano, guitar, bass gui¬ tar, and drums. But he enjoys writing songs the most. by Cara McCoy Lisa Thomas Shyrese Tibbs Mary Tighe Trey Tilson Michelle Tingen Laura Tomarchio Michele Turner Barbara Varnhoun Chris Vest Pete Vidito Sounanhdawn Virath Julie Virunurm Son Vo Thanh Van Vo Richard Wade David Waffen Mate Wann Angela Washington Brad Watkins John Watkins Brenda Watson Jay Weintz Erin West Amie Whetzel _ Class of ’88 75 Michelle Whisenhunt Courtney White Jennifer White Erin Williams Sandy Williams Michelle Willis Kristin Wine Jeff Woo John Wood Melonie Wright Toby Wright Jimmy Yates Matt Young Mike Young Patricia Young Kevin Zapf Tony Zelones Kim Ziese _ 3 Daydreaming may not be a new elective next year, but Mike Robatin seems willing to ask for one. 76 Freshmen “What is the best thing in high school?” That question was asked to the fresh¬ men in the middle of the year. Some people didn’t have anything to say, oth¬ ers said very little, and some answers were given frequently: Tracy Mason, “more guys” . . . Stephanie Fink, “the older guys” . . . Matt Galitz, “the older girls” . . . Ryan Rily, “more girls” . . . Ryan girls” . . . Mike Hogan, “great foot¬ ball team and women” . . . Amy Steke- tee, “I don’t know, I’ll think about it” . . . Mike Frowen, “It’s fun” . . . Aaron Ankers, “Nothing” . . . Jennifer Brad- haw, “I have more freedom” . . . Lisa Blackwell, A lot of new friends” . . . Oth¬ er people thought about the question and had something different to say than everyone else: Paul Nakadomari, “I’m here for four years” . . . Mitch Lager- strom, “we have a winning team” . . . Christy Badgley, “better grades” . . . Kelli Gooding, “the course offerings” . . . Eric Echols, “only three years to go” . . . Doug O’Nell, “the grading system” . . . Roy Boyd, “It’s the beginning” . . . There are people that are going to Osbourn now that didn’t go to Jennie Dean Middle School, so their answers might be a little strange: Kristi Potvin, “more people to meet, and more guys” . . . Renee Hens¬ ley, “A bunch of exciting people, espe¬ cially a certain senior guy” . . . Maureen Fisher, “the school is bigger so I have more friends” . . . Donna Tetley, “Hav¬ ing a locker for my stuff” . . . Brenda Rodgers, “I’m not the only new student from another school, so I don’t feel like an outcast” . . . Kavitha Ravella, “the sports, the environment, and the guys” . . . Some people had more than one thing to say but the answers might sound familiar: Bobby Herb, “Rules are more realistic (There isn’t a rule saying we can’t touch someone else in the hall)” Roger Maier, “the dances and hav¬ ing upperclassmen in your class” . . . Chrissy May, “There are so many new challenges here. You meet so many new friends and have a chance to really be yourself. Being a freshman is not as bad as people say. In fact, I’m really having a lot of fun” . . . Betsy McGowen, “more parties, more freedom, older people and who you become friends with, they treat you more like an adult and not like a baby” . . .

But sometimes many adverse conditions caused us to wish we’d left them at home. When the ground was covered in snow we parked our cars praying they would start at 2:00. And when the skies dumped down rain endlessly, we were forced to trudge through puddles of mud and, in the pro¬ cess, dirty our means of transportation. But of course many good benefits arose from owning a car and being able to drive to school. Driving meant we were “cool” and old enough not to ride the bus. It also meant we could wake up later and still get to school in time. And, of course, a perfect excuse was made: “My car wouldn’t start!” Another popular habit was the use of per¬ sonalized license plates. They gave the complete distinction that they were “our” cars and let others know it too. Plates ranged from a simple name to words having a deeper meaning. But each one stood in some way for its owner. Lastly, many cars dominated the school. Styles ranged from the older, long cars to the newer models. But whatever type it was, it contributed to the lot of cars but was also individual, each car and owner having its own uniqueness in the midst of many others who drove to school. by Pam Toth Senior Danny Young’s bright, orange thing Volkswagon was a common — yet unmatched — sight around school. Mike Rose, a senior, displayed originality on his license plate. The “XU ' ’ part of it stood for the number 12 — his football jersey. —..Mi � • «� ’ Even teachers have unique cars.

These students, from the four grade lev¬ els, had worked continu¬ ously researching, experi¬ menting, and finally com¬ pleting their efforts in time for the fair. Each project was judged by a group of prominent scientists cho¬ sen by the Science De¬ partment at Osbourn to determine awards on the following criteria: original¬ ity, scientific method, goals, thoroughness, skill, and clarity. Alison Alten, a senior, won a trophy for Best Overall Project, as well as first place, for her project entitled: “Statistical Anal¬ ysis and Correlation of Scholastic Achievement and Weather.” The Prince William-Ma- nassas Regional Science Fair was held on April 12 and 13, 1985 at Garfield High School. Many of the students placed and some were awarded with certifi¬ cates from special organi¬ zations. The following stu¬ dents were chosen to par¬ ticipate in the Regional Science Fair: Alison Al¬ ten, Sam Beason, Keith Boyd, Mike Delaney, Mar¬ gie Fox, Paul Gibson, Sandy Hack, Michele Jas¬ per, Julie Koman, John Moore, Mike Pollack, Bill Ripol, Gail Seidlinger, Doug Smith, and Charles Woodson.

Science Fair A New Queen As the lights dimmed the crowd grew anxious. As a blend of freshman, sopho¬ more, junior, and senior girls and senior ushers dressed in black tuxedos filled the stage, the crowd whispered, pondering over who would win the title of Miss Os¬ bourn 1985. Using the theme, “Through the Look¬ ing Glass’’, each girl demonstrated one of her talents — either dancing, singing, or reciting a speech of some kind. Once the finalists were announced, each girl was asked an unrehearsed ques¬ tion. And after much consideration the judges made their decisions — Laura Van Myen, a junior, was crowned the new Miss Osbourn. Sophomore Anne Marie Ste¬ phens was First Runner-Up; senior Kelly Grizzle was chosen Second Runner-Up; Cassandra Zangas, also a senior, was named Third Runner-Up; and Adriane Har¬ rison, a junior, was chosen Fourth Runner- Up. by Pam Toth 86 Miss Osbourn Pageant Contestants stretch their arms as they partici¬ pate in the dance scene.

The Spring Concert in which the Choir, Orchestra, and Band partici¬ pated, consisted of their individual performances and a number where all three groups combined for the finale. During the orchestra performance, the National Student Orchestra Award, the highest honor for an or¬ chestra student, was presented to Elena Park, the concertmistress. The Drama Club also put on an im¬ pressive show, a series of one-acts — “Just Another Day,’’ “Early Frost,’’ and “Not Enough Rope.’’ Carolyn El- gart and Lori Karolow were excellent character actresses. Budding new drama stars are Leslie Klipp, Roy Boyd, Rita Gibson, Tom Howley, Christy Badgley, Mike Burke, Jane Law, and Adrianne Harrison.

And, as the music began, many couples started to dance, for this scene was the beginning of the Junior-Senior Prom 1985, portrayed as “Wildest Dreams”. For the first time, the Prom was held at a location other than the school gym¬ nasium; this year, its site was the Ra- mada Inn in Manassas. And even though the juniors could not miss classes to help decorate the gym, as was done tradition¬ ally, most people felt that the results were just as worthwhile as missing school.

Students and faculty eyed the sur¬ roundings hungrily as they walked in, for this was March 28, the International Dinner. Members of the French and Spanish Clubs brought in a dish of some type of foreign food — anything but American. Members and faculty were welcomed free, and other students who wished to attend paid a small price. The dinner was the last day ending the week of Foreign Language Week.

After defeating Triple- A Armstrong — Kennedy 7-0 at home, the Eagles made another convincing victory against Brentsville in which they tallied points and picked up on Brentsville’s mistakes in order to domi¬ nate the game. During this game and the previous one, the running strength was placed on fullback Rodney Warren, while junior Buz Pre¬ sock and senior Scott Gibbs carried the offensive burden. The Eagles were then slighted when they lost a hardfought game to rival. Stonewall Jackson, and the question displayed in the Ad¬ ministration windows “AN¬ DRE WHO?” was answered by their leading scorer, An¬ dre Southerland. The passing combination of quarterback Presock, and Juan Pickett, and senior half¬ back Crett Mitchell helped the Eagles take a district win over Warren County with the fourth straight Homecoming victory. The Eagles were then un¬ able to hold back the Park- view Patriots and lost in a dif¬ ficult game plagued with injuries. The season ended with a loss to cross-town rival, Os¬ bourn Park; and although it was not a winning season, it was a year to rebuild and re¬ group for next year. by Theresa Tetley OHS.

As the District record of the boys’ basketball team, those figures are pretty satis¬ factory, earning the boys a 3rd place finish in the Dis¬ trict. But for many reasons, the season was a frustrating one for the team and their coach, Barry Sudduth. Coach Sudduth comment¬ ed the following on the over¬ all season. “I think all of us connected with the basket¬ ball program at Osbourn were a little disappointed with our record. We had good potential, but I don’t feel we really reached that potential as a team. There were some key spots that we had players out of position. Our players tried hard and I will give them credit for that. There was never a game that I felt our players weren’t “ready” to play. We lost some close ballgames and that took some steam out of us at times!” One of the surprising re¬ sults of the season was the team’s home record; the boys were 2-6 at home and 10-5 away. Remarked Coach Sudduth, “If we could have reversed our record at home, then we would have had a more successful season; I don’t feel we took advantage of our ‘small gym’ atmo¬ sphere.” This is, however, the last year that the school “craker-box” gym will be used for games. With the ad¬ ditions next year will come a spacious gym that will seat 2000 people. One highlight of the sea¬ son was the Kiwanis Christ¬ mas Tournament, where the Eagles finished 2nd. Senior Sean Wilson and Junior Shawn Henderson were also tapped for the All-Tourna¬ ment team in that event. Leading scorers for the year were Sean Wilson, John Vetter, and Shawn Hender¬ son, while Mike Pollack, and Shawn Henderson topped in rebounds. Vetter, Wilson, and Trent Ibbotson recorded the most assists during the season. Next year will see a re¬ scrambling of the starting lin¬ eup and the rest of the team, as 5 players will be lost to graduation. Captains Wilson, Ibbotson, and Grayson, along with Eric Gaskins and Ben Cole, will be sorely missed. Still, Coach Sudduth is optimistic about the com¬ ing season, and asserts that “with some work over the summer, these young men (returning Varsity members) can improve on last year’s record. These individuals are Vetter, Pollack, Henderson, Tony Porter, Bryan Thomas, Alton Corbin, Ken Felix, and Buzzy Presock.

The 1984-85 Eagle Wres¬ tling team, under new coach Lee Stevenson, started the season with eight returning lettermen, including two state champions. Filling in the other open spots left by last year’s seniors were five promising Eagles moving up from a powerful JV team. The result: another success¬ ful and awesome year on the mat. The wrestlers began their dual meet season in Decem¬ ber with three big wins over Broad Run along with AAA teams, Stonewall and James Wood. In January the wres¬ tlers continued their winning streak by convincingly de¬ feating Loudoun Valley and Park View, two tough district teams. The Eagles were then dealt their first loss of the season at the Virginia Duals by the AAA power Kemps- ville. The loss however, sparked the Eagles, and as the coach predicted, they came back by totally de¬ stroying cross-town rival Ma¬ nassas Park, 61-2. District Tournament time brought about a new degree of determination and dedica¬ tion to the undefeated grapplers, but they fell be¬ hind early because of a few unexpected losses.

With an 8-2-1 record, it is evi¬ dent that wrestlers such as Shiloh Enriquez, Kevin Zapf, Mike Augusti and Amalfi Arips helped bring the Ea¬ gles to victory. by Theresa Tetley JV Wrestling (back row) Eric Aaby, David Clanagan, Amalfi Arips, Billy Danvir, Ken Largen, Kelly Kirspel (front row) Mark Jones, Mi¬ chael Augusti, Kevin Zapf, Shiloh Enriquez OHS OPP JV Wrestling 27-33 Broad Run 15-25 James Wood 24-19 Stonewall 27-22 Park View 42-6 Loudoun County 45-12 Loudoun Valley 21-4 Manassas Park 47-16 Loudoun Valley 52-21 Park View 22-22 Handley 60-6 Loudoun County Record: 8 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie Wrestling 117 T umblers in Action The OHS gymnastics team was lead by the two all- around gymnasts, co-cap¬ tains Lisa Guerreri and Shan¬ non Wilson. Lisa compiled a total of five firsts and two thirds. At the District Cham¬ pionship she placed seventh on the beam, fifth on the bars, third on the vault, and second on the floor. Shannon also compiled five firsts, five seconds, and one third. At districts Shannon placed seventh on the bars, sixth on the vault, and third on the beam. For the second year. Shannon and Lisa both earned a trip to the regional competition where the top four then continue on to the state competition. At region¬ al, Lisa placed fourth on the floor and Shannon tied for fifth on the beam. Lisa was the only gymnast to repre¬ sent Osbourn at the State Gymnastics Meet, where she placed sixth on the floor. Other Eagle gymnasts who excelled in individual events were Betsy Daily, Tia Egidi, and Jamie Richer. Tia placed second on the floor exercise at Handley and Bet¬ sy earned a third place on the vault at Broad Run. Both Ja¬ mie and Tia provided great depth to the team and in some cases, gave Osbourn the needed edge to beat oth¬ er area teams. The team greatly missed gymnast Lori Olsen who was out for the season due to an allergy problem.

Jump¬ ing, cheering and more cheering! For the Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleading squads the hard work that goes into the job of a cheer¬ leader never ends! The hard work began in August with summer camp at Lynchburg College, where both squads recaptured their title of “camp champs”. The Varsity squad, led by senior co-captains Alice Marrin and Tracy Presock, was, for the third year in a row, invited to the Eastern Cheerleaders As¬ sociation’s Grand Finals for their first place win in the Varsity Division Champion¬ ship. In addition to this, the Varsity won first place in the skit competition, third place in the pom-pom dance rou¬ tine competition, and first place in the cheer competi¬ tion held on the first night of camp, where they performed some of their own cheers from home. The JV squad, led by sophomore co-captains Linde Altman and Anne Ma¬ rie Stephens, also performed with great excellence after long hours of practice before camp. The squad won first place in the Junior Varsity Division Championship, therefore receiving an invita¬ tion to the ECA Grand Finals held in April at the College of William and Mary. In addi¬ tion, the squad won first place on the first night of cheer competition. Each night both squads received superior ratings in cheer competition, stunts and pyr¬ amids, projection, cheer ex¬ ecution, and spirit sticks for their pep and spirit shown throughout the day. Therefore, all the great ef¬ fort paid off for the 200 OHS Cheerleaders.

Due to the damage done to the ten¬ nis courts by construction and weather, the players faced the possiblity of not having any practice courts. Luckily, at the last moment the school managed to pro¬ cure the use of the local NVCC courts, and a few home matches were even scheduled there. The boys’ team led by vet¬ eran coach, Glen Strickland, had a young team which made a strong showing in the District. Doug Smith, a four- year letterman, rallied at first seed to take fourth place in the District Tournament. Smith teamed up with soph¬ omore David Rathke to form the 1 doubles team, faring well in District competition. Junior Chris Wittaker and sophomore Greg Alexander competently held the spots of third and fourth seeds, re¬ spectively, and combined for a powerful second seed dou¬ bles team, offering a very bright future for the team next year. Fifth and sixth seeds were played by Keith Boyd, who ran into some physical problems during the season, and Scott Haw¬ kins, a four-year player, and Paul Kotz. The team showed great skill and promise, tak¬ ing fourth place in the Dis¬ trict and qualifying for the District playoffs. The girls’ team overcame many obstacles to match the boys’ fourth place accom¬ plishment. As well as not having any home” courts, the group faced the possib¬ lity of not having a coach. Carol Williams and Bitsy Sloper were recruited just in time to start the season with the top six slots held by five seniors and one sophomore. Senior Cindy Williams, who played first seed, placed fourth in the District singles competition, but was pre¬ cluded from the tournament because of an elbow injury. Williams teamed up with fifth seeded Carnice Essex to compete at 1 doubles. Tra¬ cy Presock held the second slot and made a strong dou¬ bles team with sophomore Michelle Goodman. Good¬ man played fourth seed and demonstrated excellent po¬ tential for her next two years. Elena Park, seeded 3, paired with sixth seeded Tracy Moeller to anchor the last doubles spot. Seniors Stephanie Yan¬ kee, Cindy Cameron, and Diane Kraynak also filled in at sixth seed of in doubles to make the winning difference in several close matches. The girls’ team enjoyed a successful season and gave help to the younger players to fill the ladder next year.

Justin Pow¬ ers contributed to the team’s success as the leading scorer by netting 11 goals for the booters. This season, as it came to an end, brought with it the end to four very successful careers; those of graduating status include seniors Trent Ibbotson, Peter Lavigne, Scott Gibbs and Tony Cel- luci. They were tough, com¬ petitive, and fought for the team’s success. Peter credits Coach Rohr by saying, “I learned more from Coach in four years than I did in all my years of soccer.” Trent, too, holds fine memories of the team and shares, “What I re¬ member most my four years with the team is the ability Coach Rohr had to pull the team together.” “That is what made the soccer team a success — its entire team effort,” Tony re¬ members, “No one person ever carried our team. We worked together, won to¬ gether, and lost together. Coach Rohr taught us to work as a team — on and off the field.” Scott Gibbs, the team’s final graduating sen¬ ior who had the privilege of starting all four years, senti¬ mentally looks back and says, “My only regret is that I must graduate and leave a team filled with good talent, good friends, and good coaching. Thanks for the years and good luck in the years hereafter. Peter, Trent, Tony, and Scott were keys in the team’s winning tradition and will leave lasting memories with Coach Rohr and the rest of the team. By Tony Celluci Soccer 125 126 Running on Empty Under the coaching of Anne Yeattes and Dave Madison, the girls’ track team boasted the best turn out and the most talent in three years. Although the team consisted of mainly un¬ derclassmen, they trium¬ phantly tabulated a hard- earned victory and continu¬ ously improved. The athletic prowess of this team was definitely shown in those in¬ dividuals who advanced to the Regional level. Sopho¬ more Tina Pannell, and fresh¬ men Kelly Grove and Tracy Dufrene all put forth great ef¬ fort. In addition, Tracy, who was also cheered on at the State meet, set a new school record — five feet, two inches for the high jump. Members of the girls’ track team prepare for another tough workout. In the dual meet against Manassas Park, senior Sean Wilson competes in the 400 meter dash. Sean placed first and overall OHS shut out MP 196-41. Sports The boys’ track team and new Coach Tim Sarver also faired well this season. Their victories were exciting and their losses were hard- fought. Nine out of the six¬ teen school records were broken. Coach Sarver stat¬ ed, “This is the best record we have had in the past six years. We were competitive in every meet and also scored more points in the District Finals than in the past six years. Sarver also praised senior track star Cla¬ rence Grayson who was the first OHS runner to ever win an event at the District level. In the District competi¬ tion, senior Robert MacMil¬ lan placed 5th in the shot to earn himself a trip to the Re¬ gional where he placed 6th. Clarence Grayson won the 400 meter dash and although he could not attend the Re¬ gional competition, his times met the State Standard and he was allowed to compete in the State meet. Senior Rodney Warren placed in the 100 meter dash and all three seniors competed in the State Competition at the Uni¬ versity of Virginia. Although the great time, sweat, and effort of these two teams did not show up on the scoreboard, the over¬ all enthusiasm and spirit made it a well-remembered season. by Theresa Tetley and Shannon Wilson Girls ' Track: (front row) Coach Anne Yeattes, Claire Michaels, Antoi¬ nette McCarthy, Kirstie Hiniker, Robin Gibbs; (second row) Jennifer White, Kelly Grove, Kavitha Ravella, Lori Olsen, Lisa Hagan, Michele Hart, Mary Tighe; (third row) Donna Tetley, Mindy Yanick, Amy Cole, Michele Jasper, Stephanie Robbins, Michele West, Michele Stalin- berger; (back row) Tina Pannell, Tracy Dufrene, Jeannie Moreland.

By the end of the sea¬ son the team had dwindled down to only eleven mem¬ bers. Despite a slow beginning, the young ladies pulled to¬ gether to win the majority of their final games. After los¬ ing their first two district games on the road, they came back home for retribu¬ tion. In their first home game against a district opponent they totally destroyed Hand- ley by the score of 40-7, set¬ ting a new school record. The leading hitters were short-stop, Alison Polen and pitcher, Jakki Mathis. Ali¬ son, Dale Swales and Sharon Smith were the captains and will be the only starters not returning next year. The Baseball team also had a successful campaign this year. Those who started this season included seniors: Brett Spencer, third base- man; J eff Fairman, center field; Eric Holstein, short¬ stop; Randy Smith, right field; and Dennis Cooke, sec¬ ond baseman.

Where would the school be without the dedication and sense of pride that is so will¬ ingly offered by students involved in the various specialized clubs? Clubs are not only organized to provide students with a place to come together and share their ideas, these groups are also formed to give their members some concept of what an organization is about. What clubs students participate in now may affect their involve¬ ments in future years — both in their social lives and in their careers. Many students find themselves “wrapped up’’ in so many clubs — president of this club, secretary of that club. They sometimes feel that maybe their responsibilities to these various clubs are not appreciated. But without the com¬ bined efforts of all members, the school would be at a loss. Clubs are meaningful organizations, bringing both fun and worth to the school as a whole and to the individ¬ ual members. All the work that is applied in organizing these clubs will not soon be for¬ gotten. This fact is what keeps the idea of becoming involved in many clubs at one time worth the hours and the dedication students put towards them. During Printing Class a student takes the time to carefully prepare copy for printing. 132 Clubs One example of a student becoming involved in two or more activities is Michelle Goodman, who is a member of the band and is also on the Tennis Team. Much effort is required to become a member of the National Honor Society, so Cynthia Cameron should have much to be proud of, as she accepts the certificate of membership from President Ali¬ son Alten.

Without a yearbook, stu¬ dents will have lost a certain remember- ance of their school years; without the newspaper, students could not be brought up to date on their school’s lat¬ est “gossip” or events. The staffs of “The Eyrie” and “The Free Bird” work through the year to give the student body a different focus on their lives at school.

These achievements are widely due to the immense dedication and support of the Eagle athletic programs. One exam¬ ple of dedication is the weightlifting club, where many athletes work hard to increase their strength and prepare for upcoming seasons. The athlete’s hard work would be in vain without support and recognition. Two clubs that are high¬ ly responsible for support are the Pep Club and the Wrestlerettes.

The 18-piece ensemble per¬ formed for numerous groups, from the local elementary schools, to the resi¬ dents of Anaborg Manor, to the judges at Festival, who scored the group as Supe¬ rior on Level 5 music. In addition to per¬ forming at Baccalaureate and Solo En¬ semble, the musicians found time to take a dance cruise and have two picnics at a lake. The Jazz Choir, led by Tom Parker, performed light pop rock and vocal jazz pieces at various concerts. This extra¬ curricular group, chosen by audition, sang at a Rotary Luncheon, at Dean Mid¬ dle School, and Baccalaureate, in addi¬ tion to their regular performance sched¬ ule.

Starting out with the Homecoming Bonfire. Hall Decoration, Parade, and the Crowning of the Homecoming Queen, this dedicated group does it all. They also organize the Homecoming Dance and Valentine Carnation sales. Much time and effort is also put into organizing the Junior Achievement club. This group sponsors, produces, and sells its own products for a profit, thus gaining experience in running a business. Also learning first hand experience from their jobs, the library aides help organize and keep the library functioning. The com¬ bined efforts of these groups accomplish much during the school year — both academically and socially. The Library has seen much action: homeroom meetings, frantic students looking for books for reports due next class, and those, like Debbie Hart, Ka¬ ren Teten, and Mike Fagan, who like to hang out there and do homework.

The Key Club, the Keyettes, the Leo Club, and Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.) all per¬ form certain duties to society in several ways. S.A.D.D. ' s primary function is to alert the school and the community of the dangers of drunk driving, especially focusing on student drivers. Their activi¬ ties include putting up posters before major dances and handing out free note¬ books with Drunk Driving Information. The group also attends special meetings against drunk driving. The Key Club sponsored the American Red Cross Blood Drive at school for all students 17 and older who wished to donate blood. The Keyettes attended the Special Olympics held at Garfield High School which raised money for the handicapped and mentally retarded. Finally, the Leo Club organized a pancake supper for fund-raising purposes. The efforts of all four organizations both aid the society and support the school. by Bonnie Woods Key club member Chris Burton also par¬ ticipated in the Foreign Language Week ' s International Dinner. Bill Ripol and Lisa Honey wait for their turns for the drinks. One purpose of the Key Club is to serve the community. When the Key Club sponsored the American Red Cross Blood Drive at school, many signed up to donate. Trey Wann and Ross Pater¬ son helped to keep the drive going. At one of the many Leo Club meetings held this year, Sonya Marmo, Christine Lowry, Sandra Griffin, and Kelly How- ley wait for the meeting to get under¬ way.

The French and Spanish clubs are created to provide those enrolled in a foreign language with a group-type club. Foreign Language Week combines the talents of both clubs when they are given a chance to display their posters, signs, and talents in the foreign food supper held at the end of the week. The French Club’s other activities include a trip to a French restaurant, and a week-long trip to France by some members of the club and chaperone Mrs. Rice. The Spanish Club’s activities are similar to those of the French Club with the addition of a Spanish Christmas Party. The Black Heritage Club is an¬ other club that deals with cultural back¬ ground, while the Munchkins is a club exclusively for those no taller than five feet three inches. All four clubs provide enjoyment for their members, helping them to keep their minds off of school work if only for a little while! French Class isn’t all fun and laughs, but sophomore Jakki Mathis manages to take a brief moment to share a joke with a friend anyway. During the International Foreign Lan¬ guage Week held in March, freshman Joy Houser talks with sophomore Katie Crockett as others enjoy the Interna¬ tional dinner held in the cafeteria. Helping themselves to a free meal, Dale Swales, Sara Beth Stephens, and Nicole Guerrero participate in Foreign Lan¬ guage Week. !■ %k ■ ' m Clubs 147 Computer Club: Front row Doug Moyer, Donnell McClendon second row: Chuck Thompson, Steve Schwind.

The Model Unit¬ ed Nations is organized mainly for inter¬ ested government students. Their activi¬ ties include trips to the University of Vir¬ ginia, Old Dominion University, and Virginia Military Institute. These trips are financed through fundraising candy and donut sales. The National Honor So¬ ciety is a nation-wide organization that consists of academically accelerated students whose main activities are spon¬ soring scholarships, providing gradu¬ ation tassels, and holding an induction ceremony for new members. Their fun¬ draisers are also candy sales. The Com¬ puter Club deals with the growing tech¬ nology status of tomorrow and the fu¬ ture — which centers around computers. Minds tend to wander sometimes, as Becky Damico ' s seems to, here in com¬ puter class. In a mock senate simulation held in the auditorium for Mrs. Koman’s Govern¬ ment class, seniors register their votes for the “motion” passed. Tiring quickly of all the professional business, a typing student breaks for a nap.

The Outdoor Club is one of these clubs. The members of this club have experienced many outings this year including an overnight campout and a two-day ski trip during the semester break. Another club that finds recreation out-of-doors is the Sailing Club. The sailing club is an organization of experienced-to-beginner sailors that compete in off-shore races on weekends. Other clubs that seek the objective of breaking the everyday tedi¬ um are the Industrial Arts and Games Club. Is this a refusal to eat the cafeteria food, or just another prank by David Lagos, John France, John Spall, Keith Boyd, and Company? Displaying their creativity, Jennifer Spurlin and Linda Tomarchio work on their projects in art class.

Most obvious, the new building designed to improve the school and cut down on overcrowding would be mentioned. And of course, he would think of the many new teachers, courses, coaches, and the new principal. One of the most disliked changes was the new tardy policy: it was a stricter system with harsher punishment. Also the new bell system would be men¬ tioned: the one-minute warning bell defi¬ nitely saved many students from the tor¬ ture of tardiness. Although the parking lot was a good walk from the school, most students enjoyed being allowed to park almost anywhere they wanted, un¬ less they were forced to trudge out into the pouring rain to move it. Another change was made at the end of the year: for a short while the cafeteria was en¬ hanced with an electric announcement screen which students could read while enjoying their lunches. Changes were also made in extracurri¬ cular activities — for the first time prom was held outside the school’s gym. And, the home baseball and softball games were held at the IBM complex, for the school’s field was torn up for the con¬ struction. The Academic Awards cere¬ mony was held at night folowed by a reception in the lobby. Of course, too many activities go on throughout the year to mention them all. But the 1984-85 school year wone of many changes, both beneficial to the students and to the school as a whole. As a student thinks back to his year — whether he be a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior — he remembers the changes — both good and bad — and recognizes how they have shaped his school year to be new and improved.
