College ‘Day brought in representatives from fifty- eight schools, the closest being Southern Seminary Junior College and the farthest being Berea College, Berea, Ken- tucky. Not only were many colleges represented but also recruiters from _ different branches of the Military Ser- vice were present.

It was along time coming, but the freshmen of 1979 final- ly got their revenge. As they entered high school, a little afraid of what they might ex- pect during the then infamous “Rat Week,” it may have seemed a question of survival. Now, as seniors, they had seen “Rat Week” reduced to “Rat Day.”” This meant that they would have to work hard to make sure that each Rat would have the opportunity to undergo all the pleasures they had enjoyed four years ago. Because participation _ in this traditional ritual is com- pletely voluntary, only those seniors who had _ themselves been rats were allowed to “rat” the freshmen. Even before they left the bus in the morning, the ninth graders sensed what was awaiting them. Boys dressed in skirt and blouse and girls carrying toy trucks were easily spotted, and the seniors were ready for them. One of the more original ‘“‘requests’” made of rats was to have two of them carry a coin — face to face with the coin held between their noses. “x Entertaining Hans Sobeslavsky and Britta Roeder, two of his friends from Germany, Kenny Walters enjoys one of the last warm days of summer. “Sizzle like bacon!” commands Nelson Clarke, as ‘‘Rat’’ Angie Mays does her best to obey. Seniors Tuesday, Aan. ESS Se sentors come of age. Today students eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years of age found out they wouldn’t lose their drinking privileges if the bill to raise the drinking age to twenty-one should go into effect in July. The seventeen-year-olds learned they would have to wait until FBLA, 16 Seniors they turned twenty-one to buy beer. Although sixty of them would not be affected by this new law, the rest of the seniors realized that they would be classified as minors for at least three more years! They weren’t thrilled about it. In fact, Randy Sandidge, one of those who didn’t make it had this to say: ‘‘Who do the, think they’re fooling? Thi: won’t stop hardly anyone under the age of eighteer from drinking.” Trying to hurry so she won't be late for typing, Paula Mason finishes her snack. Discussing the new drinking law, Richard Hamilton, Jeff Cash, and Randy Sandidge are happy to discover that it will not affect them.

The last week of school was perhaps the busiest for the graduating seniors. With final exams to take and senior ac- tivities to attend, no one hada minute to spare. Wednesday morning was spent practicing for Friday night’s graduation exercise. Was it really about to happen? After practice, the entire class headed for the pool. It wasn’t a very good day for swimm- ing, but they all enjoyed themselves. Wednesday night saw most of the about-to-be graduates at the Senior Banquet, held at Southern Sem. Awards and gifts were handed out, and then it was time for the class prophecies. Entertainment and laughter were guaranteed, as was always the case when Jeff Mikels took the floor. Caught from behind by junior G reg Gray, Jeff Williams will rely on his senior wile and wit to free himself. Seniors 21 Friday, Sept. 10, Mary lay. Abidiad! president.

The juniors had waited so long for the moment when they would get to order their class rings. Everyone was so_ excited! When ordering their rings they got a little confused. ‘‘What size do I wear?” “Can I get my initials on it?” “What style do you have?” Excited at the return of their class rings, juniors are anxious to show them. 26 Juniors “Ts it real gold?” Finally, after each one paid a $30.00 deposit, the rings were ordered. The juniors waited anxiously for their return. Days turned to weeks, then weeks to months and the rings still hadn’t come. So this was what was me ant by learning to be patient. Then, suddenly, they were there. Excitement was running high. Everyone wanted to compare and show off his new ring. Some had blue stones some green. Some _ were smooth with initials, and others contained cut stones that sparkled in the light. It was a day to be remembered. Now they were really juniors; the proof was on their fingers. a After just washing dishes from a Home Economics project, Penny Phillips still has to rinse.

Today all the work that the juniors had been busy with the whole year finally came together. Juniors were excus- ed from all their classes to get the gym ready for Saturday night. The centerpiece was built. Walls, that had been painted earlier, were brought in, while the bandstand and ceiling were completed. The sound of hammering, the aroma of paint, and feeling of excite- ment all filled the air. They worked hard to make the 1983 prom a success. Many of the juniors had worked for the whole month painting walls, and staying at the gym late to have the ceil- ing ready in time. When the last of the workers were ready to leave, one last look was taken and a smile of satisfac- tion shone on every face.

It seems to have become an annual event for the juniors to do a class project representing the year.

For a long time _ the sophomores had waited to drive. They had been chauf- feured too long and now it was time to finally sit behind the wheel. The first step was get- ting a learner’s permit. This test was taken when a student turned fifteen years, and eight months old. During the next few months they drove all they could, preparing for the next phase, behind the wheel driving. Then came the classroom. For weeks they studied the drivers’ education book. They knew it inside and out. They worked hard to get a good grade so they could be one of the first to drive with the in- structor. After the instructor’s O.K. they were allowed to try for the driver’s license. How did it feel to finally get it? Great!

Each year students are fac- ed with new and challenging situations. Perhaps the most challenging of all came for the sophomores when _ they entered Mrs. Mary Page Stin- nett’s English 10 class. Each sophomore was re- quired to take a quarter of public speaking. The students participated in pantomimes skits, formal introductions, etc. Some of the sophomores enjoyed the quarter, yet others were glad to see it end. After all, not everyone found it easy to speak in front of a group. It was suddenly hard for some to talk when they had to. In deep concentration over his algebra problem, Mitch Russell works to put the solution on paper.

These two, as well as most of the other ninth graders, were already thinking about the 1985 Prom. Proms are expen- sive, and planning ahead has always been the name of the game. This was the first time that any of the freshmen had had to pay money for the privilege of being a class member. But this was also their first year in high school, where everything is new and different.

Although leading the Freshman Class was not easy, this year’s of- ficers did a great job. Finding time to pursue other interests and ex- tracurricular activities: Class Presi- dent, Stefanie Groot, played junior varsity basketball and served as varsity basketball statistician; Vice- President, Vince Cash, was a member of the junior varsity foot- ball and baseball teams; Secretary, Gerd Ballner, was on the tennis team; and Treasurer, Julie Har- rison, played junior varsity basket- ball and was elected captain of the team. Most importantly all four of these outstanding Freshmen were also members of the National Honor Society. This meant that with all of their other duties and interest not one officer failed to maintain a ““B”’ average for the entire year.

With their hair in ponytails and cheese, pacifiers and signs around their necks, they were easily spotted. Once discovered by the seniors, they became slaves and play objects. Some of the tasks they performed were carrying books, shining shoes, and delivering lunches. Some of the more original assignments included barking at trees, pro- posing to teachers and trashcans, pushing pencils up the halls and counting the bricks in the walls. It was great fun — for the seniors! Connie Wright Having been spotted before entering the building, Angie Mays is about to realize what it is to be a rat.

Bradford, Superintendent.of Buena Vista city schools is known state wide as an innovator in education. The Buena Vista system is the only survivor in the year-round school system approach which was attempted by many localities. Dr. Bradford demands a quality education for the students at PMHS and has long been an advocate of the “‘back to basics”’ approach to education. 48 Faculty Administration Sains orn Buena Vista for Post un SEA Eide Michael Sams came to PMHS in 1971 to teach U.S. History. During the seventies he was a varsity backfield coach and was involved in coaching basketball, golf and track. In 1978 Mr. Sams left the Buena Vista school system to assume an administrative job with the county. Because Mr. Sams remained an active member of the Buena Vista community and had taught at PMHS he returned as Assistant Principal in 1982. Because PMHS is a small school Mr. Sams knew all the students individually and was quite active in student activities. He will be missed by students and community.

Whether on the field, the court, the mats, or the track, our athletes put their all into competition. Tony Brads, in a quote from the Roanoke Times and World News: ‘“(Football’s) all we live for down here.” Everyone gave one-hundred percent — the coaches, the managers, the cheerleaders, and the fans. Coach James Russo credited the four- hundred plus crowd at the first district wrestling meet with providing ‘‘vocal support that helped give (the team) the drive to win.” Yet, winning wasn’t everything. Tondi Holt con- sidered Girls’ Varsity Basket- ball’s three-point defeat at the hands of James River more a victory than a loss: “‘We finally played like a team.”’ So, Dear Diary, don’t forget those terrific teams.

A total of twelve bands attended and four hun- dred and eleven dollars was taken in. The next event was the “Greenbriar East Classic.”’ The Marching Blues took se- cond place in class A and “Best of Show” award over all. In addition to those larger awards first place was award- ed to drum major, Joy Hum- phries, and also to the drum line. The members of the band started off their fund raising by selling Heritage cheese and sausage to get them to the next event. On the 9th of Oc- tober the Marching Blues traveled to Tunstall High School to compete with other bands from Virginia and North Carolina. Here they received ‘First Place Band”’ in class A. The Marching Blues were only one point away from being selected ‘‘Grand Champions” in all classes and were judged best in marching and maneuvering. A lot of practice is necessary for the Marching Blues to get their show together for their annual Band Day Festival. 104 Band As one of only two members of the Marching Blues participating in the Regional Band, Willie Dudley reaps the rewards of many long hours of practice. Friday, Oct. 22 — Ken Campbell Crouned: queen. “Get that float decorated!” “I hope we beat James River!” “Who’s the Homecoming Queen?” “Want to go to the dance with me?”’ The thought of Homecom- ing was on everyone’s mind. All the classes nominated so- meone to represent them as king and queen. While these representatives got ready, other class members were rushing to finish the floats, each class trying to come up with the best. The cheerleaders were busy involving everyone in Spirit Week. Each day students dressed in costume, but the most fun was Punk Rock Day. Finally, the pep rally! Who would get the pep stick? We didn’t find out until the night of the game that the seniors took the honors. Then came time to an- nounce the Homecoming Queen. Everyone held his breath. It was Karen Camp- bell! Her escort Kenny Walters stood by as Mr. Flint placed the crown on her head. The week of Homecoming was positively the best ever! As Karen Campbell flashes her winning smile, Mr. Flint places the crown on her head. Senior Representatives were Shaun Henson, Tammy Huffman, Kenny Walters, Karen Campbell, Todd Humphries, Paula Mason, Billy Brown and Amy Chaplin. 106 Homecoming Representing the Junior Class were Tracy Rudasill and Pam Irvine. Along with escort Ray Wade, Mitzi Coleman represents the Sophomore Class. Chosen to represent the Freshman Class were Darryl Moore and Julie Harrison.

It was a night to remember, especially for the seniors. The theme of the prom was “Night in Paris’ and “Truly” was chosen as the theme song. The band that performed that night was ‘The Kings.” The gym was candle-lit but most of the light came from the stage where the Kings performed a variety of ’ songs including ‘‘Swingin,’ “Jeopardy,” “Beat It,” and “One on One.” A fanciful red gazebo served as the center- piece. All the decorations cor- responded with the theme. The Juniors began working two weeks before the big night, with the walls being painted at the Valley Work Shop. In the cafeteria, where couples posed for pictures, cake, sandwiches and punch were served by parents and underclassmen. What a night! At midnight, tired teachers left for home, the Kings packed up their equip- ment, and all the juniors and seniors went straight home to get a good night’s sleep. Well, didn’t they??? Surrounding the gazebo, well-dressed juniors and seniors dance to the beat of the Kings.

It’s also true that we’ve left a part of ourselves in Buena Vista. What we were, what we did, and what we felt and thought in 1983 are now a part of this town’s history. But what hap- pened in town will always be a part of us, too. We never want to forget the people of B.V.’83; the neighbors, merchants, and other members of the com- munity who played major roles in our story.

Some of the townspeople were thinking this might become tradi- tion. Hopefully it won’t, but many of the other things associated with this night were already tradition. The salutatorian, Joy Humphries, challenged her classmates to suc- ceed, while Robbie Russell, in his valedictory remarks, reminded the class of the wonderful example set by David Clark. Then diplomas were handed out, tassels were moved and the Class of 1983 stepped out into the world. Salutatorian Joy Humphries receives her diploma from Principal Wayne Flint.
