One never gets tired of reminiscing about the champions, the good times, and the other memories that are deeply imprinted in his mind. The happenings that mean the most to each individual that has ever come in contact with Parry Mc- Cluer High School will be recorded in his or her own personal album of memories. Although the 1981-82 school year will only be a small part of this album, for many it was one of the most important years of life. Seniors, experiencing their last year of high school ever, will always hold this past year precious. For Juniors this was the year of class rings and the Prom. Sophomores finally had the ex- perience of driving. The first year of high school will be remembered by the Freshman Class. In order to make it easier for everyone at Parry McCluer to recall the year, the Parrimac Staff has put together an album designed to spark these memories. Because the year was filled with so much excitement and so many events, it was im- possible to record every moment. The Parrimac Staff hopes that this recording will be worth playing again and again. The Labor Day festivities have always been enjoyed by all of the community. This year, however, many students took part in this special celebration. Cheerleaders and band members performed for the many people who attended. In order to raise money, the Junior class, as well as the cheerleaders, opened conces- sion stands. Without a doubt, the activities of the day were fun for everyone. Members of the Junior Class, Tony Brads and Kim Kidd, open a watermelon stand at Glen Maury Park while celebrating Labor Day.

Although some class time was spent having fun, most time was spent solving Physics problems. In order to be eligible for fall sports, Norman Gilbert has his blood Rather than go home when they finish the school day, Seniors Kate pressure taken by Dr. Thomas Hedrick. This test is only part of the routine — Robey, Lisa Burch, and Millie Foster stay for after-school meetings. As physical that is required. they leave, they pause to say “goodbye” to a few friends. Opening Upon starting the year, students had to get used to their new teachers — teachers had to get used to their new students. New faces appeared everywhere. Classes were unfamiliar and a bit scary. But as the year progressed, students and teachers became ac- customed to seeing each other every school day. Everyone soon found out what was expected of him. While in classes, students and teachers faced problems of many kinds. Social problems and educa- tional problems were soon solved when they were brought to the attention of the proper staff or faculty member. Freshmen were excited about the start of their new high school career. During the new school year they participated in Rat Week, in which the Seniors helped them adjust to the routine. Although the Sophomores had experienced high scbool the year before, they were still excited about the upcoming year. They all knew that this year they would reach that magic age — sixteen. Of all classes the Juniors were probably the least excited about the new school year. They had already experienced two years of high school and had a great deal of work to do in preparing for one of the biggest nights of their high school career, the Prom. The Juniors would soon find out how much hard work it takes to give a Prom for the Seniors. Although some were happy and some were sad about this be- ing their last school year, the Seniors were looking forward to the beginning of school. Time was running out for decisions for the future. Solving problems was an every- day event throughout the school year. Although these problems seemed enormous af the time they were discovered, with the help of others we found that anything could be overcome as long as we were working together.

The officers worked hard and so did the rest of us. Although at times we would take a break and have a few laughs together, in the end we could sigh with relief, “Looks Like We've Made It.’’ The good times we had then will live on in our hearts forever. When we wander back through the memories of Anthony Todd Clevenger Cynthia Diane Coffey that senior year we find a lot of happiness and un- forgettable moments. Memories of laughter, study, work, embarrassment and even some sadness. The high school years were some of the best of our lives and our senior year was one of the most impor- tant. Deciding what we were going to do with the rest of our lives was a big and important decision for everyone.

And we backed it up with hard work. In and out of school we wanted ‘'to be better than the rest.’’ At times it wasn’t easy, but we enthusiastically attacked the chore ahead of us. School work had become more difficult and more demanding because we were now preparing for life. At home we had added responsibilities. Some of us had jobs already, and although that provided income it meant less free time.

The Senior Class held bake sales that year to raise money for end-of-the-year activities. With research papers due and so many books to read in English the Seniors could still smile, and sometimes even work up a chuckle. Senior class meetings are indeed fun, as can be seen from this reac- tion on the part of Randy Tomlin and Janet Gore.

Our friends included teachers, staff, other students and our parents. Guidance counselors were there to provide advice on choosing a college or career. For solutions to our everyday problems we often turned to the ad- ministration, office staff, or individual teachers. Help came from all directions. In perhaps one of the busiest and mixed up years in high school we Seniors knew that we could depend on our friends for help and support. ek - David Fredrick Stinnett Rebbcca Lee Stinnett One good way to be sure you have friends is to do as Rhonda Wheeler does — smile and be friendly.

Some were saddened that this was our last year in high school, but most were glad to be graduating. Along with graduation came the realization that this would be the last time that many of us would see each other. But we had the memories of all the years that we had been in school together.

This was Tony Brads’ second year as class president, for example, and Laura Wheeler, Paula Mason and Karen Campbell also had leadership experience. They worked hard and did a fine job. But the officers were not the only ones who worked hard. Most of us juniors were surprised by the increased amount of homework this year brought. Not only was homework a job, but also the responsibility for the Prom, which was approaching fast. We did a lot of growing up during our junior year.

Freshmen 39 Freshmen Considered “Young Turks”’ The fall of 1982, as with every other year, brought new students to P.M.H.S. The freshmen, or ‘‘Rats’’ as we were better known, were initiated soon after we entered high school. During “Rat Week” it was not unusual to see a boy running around in a dress or a girl wearing army boots. Also, as part of our initiation, we ‘‘Rats’’ had to obey the seniors’ every command. After our initiation, we were officially part of the high school. Soon we found that it was much different from middle school. 40 Freshmen Hurrying to their next class are Lisa Huffman and Gloria Hartless.

But we didn’t let down, even under pressure.

Faculty A lot of students from schools everywhere play games, burt the Parry McCluer Fighting Blues play to win. The 1981-82 athletic program began with winning seasons for both Junior Varsity and Varsity Football teams. The JV team continued their tradition of being undefeated. Many of last year's JV players moved up to the Varsity team for the 1981 season. This, along with other factors, helped the Blues’ Varsity Football team to have an extremely great season. Under the leadership of a new coach, Mr. Preston Evans, the Cross Country team had an outstanding seasonal record. In addition to physical strength and endurance, this team also gained many emotional and spiritual benefits. Although the Lady Blues’ Varsity Basketball team did not enjoy a win- ning season in 1981, these girls never gave up their spirit and determination. A great deal of participation was shown on the part of the Girls’ JV Basketball team. In order to prepare for their future seasons, these younger girls worked extra hard. As they tried to carry out the Blues’ tradition of “playing to win,” the Boys’ Basketball teams strove for perfection. Players of other winter sports teams such as Wrestling, Indoor Track, and Volleyball also played very competitively. By playing spring sports, many students found much needed excite- ment after the long winter. Both Boys’ and Girls’ Track teams ran to uphold the famous ‘Blues’ Pride.’’ The Baseball and Softball teams worked for excellence as did the Golf and Ten- nis teams. Finally, special teams such as the Cheerleaders and the Band always gave much appreciated encourage- ment. These teams also provided entertainment for the sports audience. Even though the individual teams played to win, the fact that each stu- dent was playing for Parry McCluer in- spired extra effort on the part of all.

The girls started the season early, with workouts beginning soon after summer school ended. Full court press and inside layups were just some of the tactics and skills they learned. Under the coaching of Mrs. Shirley Crawford the Blues began to show a great deal of im- provement as the season progressed. Led by Captain Leslie Moran and playmaker Sherry Lineberry, the girls were developing talents that would be used later on the varsity squad. Sherry Lineberry was perhaps the most in- strumental member of the team, leading her teammates in scoring as well as rallying them in times of low morale.

It was an equal ef- fort on the part of offense and defense, with the defense allow- ing only six points in district com- petition and the offense being led by Greg Thurman (All-Timesland Fullback). Champions are made, not born, and our boys worked hard for every game they won.

According to Coach Camper, the whole team “did a super job.” The defense was really good and only allowed 34 points to be scored against the team the whole season. That was an average of 4.5 points per game to 29.25 points per game scored by the of- fensive team. Two backs, Brad Harrison and Jamie Garrett, scored over 100 points each during the season. This is Outstanding in itself, not to men- tion the superb performance by the rest of the feam.

Some big shoes were left to fill by seniors, Bruce Hawes, Leslie Gearhart, Ronnie Argenbright, and Anthony Rice, who made tremen- dous contributions to the team. Even though the team often had few supporters at their meets, they made the season a successful one.

Although the team consisted of mostly sophomores and juniors, the season was a successful one. After hours of hard practice, six days every week, the Blues found their district record to be quite good. With outstanding play from seniors, Norman Twitty and War- ren Dumford, the Blues succeeded in winning the district tournament. Norman Twitty's fine contribution to the team helped him make the all-district team. Shortly after win- ning the tournament, we faced powerhouse Drewry Mason in the sub-regionals. Although not com- ing away with a win, the entire team put forth tremendous effort, finishing the season with a 15-9 record.

Although the team consisted of mostly 9th graders, the season was successful. The fact that the J.V. Blues were not victorious over James River in the regular season was almost altered in the heartbreaking district tournament final. The win- ner was not decided until the final buzzer sounded.

There are more than four hundred answers to that question, one for every person who attended our school. For many of us if was a year of championship teams. For others it consisted of movies and parties. Some found hardship and sadness during that year. But for all of us there was a great deal of work fo be done, preparation for what lay ahead. A Day in the Lif Socializing took place before homeroom, during break, at lunch and after school. There was always a lot of juicy gossip, and sometimes even real news. Who was doing what, with whom, and behind whose back, on the after- noon soap operas? John Hinkley was tried and found not guilty. We learned a little more geography in asking where the Falklands lay. And with John Lennon dead, the Beatles’ songs took on new ‘ ee ¥ . . � meaning. Our real day began with that first bell, however, and ended with the last. We came to know our teachers and learned what was expected of us, just as they were trying to find out who we were and where we were head- ed. There was a lot to do bet- ween those bells, and with cooperation on both sides, we not only did the work but sometimes even enjoyed it!

Before and oaffer school the hallways were clogged with students exchanging gossip about the day's happenings. Pep rallies were always looked forward to. Af these times, students let off some of fhe energy that was bottled up during the day by showing the Big-Blue Spirit that had become so popular. While taking notes in history class, Randy Sandidge laughingly Fighting Blues fans always have something to smile about. remembers the night before. 106 Student Life Even though she is not smiling, things are looking up for Kay Huffman.

As usual, Charlie Brown was always messing things up. At least that’s what Patty, Linus, Snoopy, Schroeder and Lucy thought. But in the end, Charlie Brown proved to be a “‘good man.” Stephen King showed his acting and singing ability as he portrayed the one and only Charlie Brown. Terence Huffman, Dana Wilkins, Don- na Robey, Craig Smith and Kim Reed also displayed their talents. Under the direction of Ronald Gravatt, the play turned out not only funny, but at times even touching. During the Drama Club's production of “You're a While playing an imaginary game of baseball, Patty (Donna Robey) and Schroeder Good Man, Charlie Brown,” Charlie Brown (Terence Huffman) scream words of encouragement to their teammates.

Throughout the school year, the students of Parry McCluer received much support from the residents of Buena Vista. Many citizens faithful- ly followed various sports teams to areas around the state. These citizens also were loyal to the students who spent hours working on money-making projects. Since the beginning of the academic year, the local businesses, which employ a large number of area residents, gave much needed financial, as well as moral support to PMHS students. Industries such as Reeves Brothers, E. R. Moore, REA Magnet, Modine, and Bluebird East gave student scholarships and granted loans for college. Privately-owned businesses such as Ladies’ Special- ty Shoppe, Mason's TV, Wayne's Sport Shop, and John H. Dickinson supported students by sponsoring many extra-curricular activities. Also, locally-owned chain restaurants and stores such as Peebles, Montgomery Ward, Ken- ney's, and Sheltman’s Amoco pro- vided backing for the students. During the year, the citizens of Buena Vista were brought closer together by events of tragedy as well as delight. Everyone's life was touched by the unfortunate death of Lt. Billy Oyler in a January shooting. On the other hand, residents were also brought together in planning the building of a memorial skating rink in his honor. The students of Parry McCluer have always taken pride in their community, just as the community takes pride in the school. It is a close relationship, ard people work together in ‘My Little Town. Community Ads On January 8, 1982, Buena Vista lost one of its finest police of- ficers as the result of a_ fatal shooting. Police Lieutenant William Douglas Oyler was shot to death while answering a call for help. He was 39 years old. Lt. Oyler was described by Sheriff James Burch as a dedicated father, policeman, and citizen. Those who knew him said his main concerns were for his family and the youth of Buena Vista. One very clear indication of Mr. Oyler’s interest in helping the youth of the community was his promotion of a skating rink to be built at Glen Maury Park. Upon learning of his death many contributions were made toward completing the pro- ject. Before sundown that day, the citizens had already begun calling it ‘‘The Billy Oyler Memorial Skating Rink.”’ The city lapsed into a state of shock. Emotions ranged from anger to sorrow. The citizens were urged to show their loyalty by displaying black mourning ribbons and by leaving their porch lights on at night. All flags were flown at half mast. This was the first time in 40 years that a police officer in Buena Vista had been killed in the line of duty. Billy Oyler was an active citizen in the co mmunity. He began work for the Buena Vista Police Depart- ment in 1971 and was promoted to lieutenant in 1979. He was presi- dent of the Buena Vista Fraternal Order of Police, past president of the Buena Vista Fire Department, and past president of the Shenan- doah Crime Clinic. In 1975 and 1976, he had been named Outstanding Young Police Officer. He won praises from fellow of- ficers and the community. The Police Department even received sympathy calls from some of the people he had arrested over the Community Mourns The Death of ‘Dedicated Father, Policeman, and Citizen” years. Inquiries were made about setting up a memorial trust fund for the children of the community in his honor. His funeral was one of the largest ever in the history of Buena Vista. Hundreds of police officers and citizens from all across the state came out on January 11 to pay their last respects. A motor- cade of nearly 200 vehicles pro- ceeded from the church to the cemetery. City Manager Wayne Reed seemed to have summed up the feelings of the entire city when he said “It is always difficult to say goodbye to a friend, but it is almost unbearable to say good- bye under these circumstances. There is a deep feeling of grief but also one of anger, that someone could take the life of a policeman and a friend. Billy will be deeply missed by everyone.” Community 124 QUALITY SUPERMARKET Ramsey Shopping Center Buena Vista, Va. 24416 Fred Lewis and Shaun Henson are two of Quality’s employees offering customers fast and efficient service.

The graduating seniors of 1982 practically waded into the pavillion at Glen Maury Park. Rain fell from above and some tears fell below as ninety-five seniors prepared to receive that little piece of paper representing some twelve years of their lives. Salutatorian Kim Reed challenged her classmates to follow the exam- ple of Abraham Lincoln. Then Ben Burks, in his valedictory remarks, praised the example set by David Clark, recipient of the 1982 SCA Merit Award. And as the rain fell, spirits and hopes soared as high as the clouds overhead. Posing for proud parents are Principal Wayne Flint, Beginning her new life is 1982 Kim Reed, and Ben Burks. graduate, Kay Rhodes. —— ; we xii f � The momengestweWfiaalyes for the Class of ‘82. bi 140 Graduation a a Undaunted by pouring rain, graduate Mandy Hogan and Marcy Staton smile from beneath umbrella and parka. we ° ; — A Finding their first steps out into the world to be quite a challenge With the hectic past few weeks behind her, Valeria Campbell takes are Renee Hostetter and classmates. time to ‘Stop and Smell the Roses.” Graduation 141 ‘Hello, Goodbye” When we said our hellos in August, the 4th of June seemed to be some distant day that would never arrive. Seniors saw it as a milestone far out on the horizon. Juniors were too busy thinking about class rings and a band for the Prom. Sophomores were on the verge of that magic age when overnight they would become mature enough fo sit behind the wheel of a car. And the ‘'Rats?”’ Well, they were just waiting for the last day to roll around. In fact, during “Rat Week” some were praying that they would only live to see that day. 142 Closing But suddenly Homecoming was there! And then we went home for Christmas vacation. The next time we looked it was Easter, then the Prom, then final exams! Where did the year go? What did we do with those 180 days? Those days were filled with work and worry, fun and friends. There were moments we would never forget, and some we didn’t want to remember. There had been sadness, but also joy. There was life, and one year less of life. And then there was just time for “Goodbye!” So long, Mrs. Cart! ‘Goodbye, Craig (Smith)’’ With most of their classmates already gone, Nelson Clark and Sean Dyer wait for final grades. heats Bei gear mitt enn ging ee os 2 Te) fe ay a € © Cc fe) “ fo) oe 2 =] oa ° “ rt = 5 c o = x= Ca ° Cc “ ’ here 144 Sroff Parvumae “Every Picture Tells a Story” We the members of the Parrimac staff hope you enjoy your album.
