The larg¬ est growth spurt takes place during the high school years — the years that students ex¬ perience their first real love, and maybe their first real heartbreak. These are the years during which students wrestle with anticipatory thoughts about trying out for a team or run¬ ning for an office. These are the years that students are put to test after test, not only in class, but in the halls and be¬ tween classes when the test is that of integrity and charac¬ ter. Many intangibles and im¬ measurable facets of each in¬ dividual are tested day after day, and whether the results are pass or fail are only ac¬ cording to the criteria by which the individual measures himself. Whatever the results, the testing time is prominent, the events that occur during the time are memorable, and the results are important because they will project far beyond the NOW, and will be influen¬ tial in the future. Prominence is a matter of perspective and a matter of in¬ terpretation. It can be what¬ ever the reader wants it to be, as long as it is important! Tim Goad’s prominence in size is overshadowed only by his accom¬ plishments.

Well spent moments in high school make a marked difference in grades.

It ' fiM - mm WSBKtk Summer - The Favorite Time Of The Year Although the first day of summer is officially July 21, summer fun in Patrick begins at 3:02 on the last day of school. The air is tense . . . Students and teachers alike are restlessly awaiting that fi¬ nal bell, marking the end of another school year. As the bell starts ringing, teachers give a definitive sigh of relief while the students go thunder¬ ing out of the classrooms. Seniors are displaying mixed emotions. Some are bursting with excitement be¬ cause they are finally leaving ‘this’ place; others are crying and hugging their friends whom they may not see again for some time. Still others are stunned — they don’t know exactly how to feel. After the moments of ex¬ hilaration have passed, every¬ one begins immediately enjoy¬ ing summer. For those few who managed to conceal wa- terguns from teachers, fun be¬ gins on the bus ride home. Many people will probably ride over to Tex’s, or go to the pool, or just go out with some friends. Most seniors will be preparing for that well-de¬ served week-long vacation to the beach. After the first week or two, you usually have already es¬ tablished your routine for the summer; maybe you are work¬ ing all summer or just loung¬ ing around the pool. You could be playing baseball or softball or just lying in the sun. Maybe you are taking in all the new movies with your favorite guy or gal, or you could be glued to the television watching your favorite soaps. You are prob¬ ably having the time of your life with school being the far¬ thest thing from your mind. Then, August the tenth rolls around — time to register for next year’s school session. You approach this task with a myriad combination of feel¬ ings. Summer is winding down. Everyone is trying to grasp those last few days that are left, and fill them with as much excitement as possible. Finally, the first day of school has arrived and the routine starts again. You tried to put it off, but the inevitable end of summer is here. Martha Hall shows a look of fascination while riding the carousel at Lakeside.

Summer 7 BACK TO SCHOOL: For Upperclassmen, It’s “Old Hat”— For Eighth Graders, It’s a New Experience With New Beginnings School began August 22. By 9 a.m., the once quiet and cool halls were flooded with anx¬ ious students and cries of greetings. Teachers took their places in the classrooms and prepared for the impending stampede. Eighth graders scurried through the halls in search of their room numbers with hopes of finding their way. They also hoped to not fall victim to the pranks of upper¬ classmen who tend to give im¬ proper directions. Though the eighth graders try to be inconspicuous in their search for room num¬ bers, they are revealed as “greenies” by simple things, such as, walking on the wrong side of the hall, asking too many questions, and vacant expressions on their faces. Bypassing the upperclass¬ men, they reach their destina¬ tion without too much trou¬ ble. They quickly find a seat in class and prepare their paper and pencils for class to begin. Meanwhile, the upperclass¬ men are walking the halls, try¬ ing to find old friends and catch up on summer news. School was “old hat” to them. Since they were familiar with the locations of the rooms, up¬ perclassmen could walk the halls longer than the new stu¬ dents. To the seniors the end of this day marked the begin¬ ning of a daily routine that would last only 179 more days. While reading over a possible story for the annual, Photographer Martha Hall takes time out to answer an in¬ quiry from one of her fellow staff members. 8 Back To School After much searching, Business Manager Dena Collins manages to fi¬ nally find a secluded yet dangerous spot in the annual staff room.

High record temperatures have caused early dismissals for students since the begin¬ ning of the school year. This is a first for Patrick County High. Staggering heat reaching the hundred degree mark made it difficult for students to concentrate on their schoolwork. It was reported that “Meadows of Dan Ele¬ mentary and Patrick County High School probably suffered the most.” Temperatures in these school classrooms ranged from 92° to 100°. Al¬ though electric fans were used in most unairconditioned classrooms, the students found little relief. Swimming pools and creeks seemed to be a big topic of conversation during and be¬ tween classes. The longing for the cool water was great. Shorts, tee-shirts, and san¬ dals were a big part of students and teachers wardrobes for school. Some teachers, whom we would least expect, wore shorts and sandals, smiled, and kept on walking. The schools were not the only ones to feel the sun’s burning rays, as farmers watch their crops devastated by the heat. The scorched and dry earth provided no moisture for the withering and drying crops. Livestock farmers watched their animals suffer from the smothering heat. Although we long for cooler temperatures, as soon as cold weather arrives we’ll be yearning for the hot days of summer again. During the winter, one of the most breathtaking sights is a snowcovered tree. Above is a beautiful example which stands outside Patrick County High.

Heatwave 11 Homecoming ’83 - An Exciting Event For All Monday was a big day, or should we say backward day, for almost everyone. Home¬ coming is a prominent event each year. Monday, “Back¬ ward Day,” there was a great amount of spirit and partici¬ pation. Tuesday was the ever popu¬ lar “Punk Day.” Students walked around the halls in purples, pinks, blues, and some with all of the colors, even in their hair. “Beach Day” seemed to be a lot of fun for those imagina¬ tive students that dressed up. Some were wearing a beach towel around their necks and others carrying beach balls and suntan lotion. Thursday, we were finally able to meet the man we all love to hate, J.R. Ewing. Tra¬ cy Turman dressed up as J.R. on “Favorite Actor or Actress Day”. There were a variety of actors and actresses walking the halls that day. Some other favorites were Groucho Marx and Shirley Temple. Dress-up days ended on Fri¬ day with “Grit Day.” Students were allowed to wear what they wanted that looked “grit¬ ty”. Everyone seemed to enjoy dressing up and prizes were awarded each day to the best dressed students. Tracy Har¬ ris won on “Backward Day.” The best “Punk rocker” was Amy Key. Tammy Cox and Scott Murphy were the best Beach Bums. Michael Fain won on “Best Actor or Actress Day” and Randall Bowman won on “Grit Day”. The week was completed with the Homecoming game playing Floyd County, the choosing of a Homecoming Queen, and the dance after¬ ward. Tracy Reynolds was crowned Queen and the mem¬ bers of her court were seniors Conna Turner, Jana Cassell, Rhonda Hopkins and Karen Cassady; juniors Kelly La- Force and Cheryl Anderson; sophomores Heather Inman and Donna Turner; freshmen Derina Hylton and Renee Ko- denski; and sub-freshmen Cindy Crissman and Heather Hill. The dance was certainly a complete success. The DJ was Dave Bailey with Astro Disco. The popular sounds he played combined with his lighting system and involvement with the dancers proved enjoyable to everyone who attended. Homecoming Week ’83 was certainly a week to remember. Seniors, Barry Joyce and Eddie Hall, are shown playing a duet to “What Kind Of Fool Am I” during the halftime activities.

Homecoming 13 Plays Portray Fantasy and Reality Dreams are for everyone but especially for young Alice this past spring. Paige Hancock and Heather Inman, both sophomores, portrayed this young girl in two plays, each in a dream world, in the play “Al¬ ice in Wonderland.” Little Alice fell into the dream world and came upon many unique characters such as a Madhatter, walking cards, a Queen of Hearts, a talking Cheshire cat, and many, many more. She enjoyed her trip but soon found out it was only a dream. “Alice in Wonderland” seemed to be a big hit with ev¬ eryone. “The actors and ac¬ tresses performed very profes¬ sionally. They were very hard parts to perform,” Mr. Larson, the director and drama teach¬ er, commented with a smile. A rabbit, a wild cook, and twee- dle-dee and tweedle-dum are not the easiest roles ever made for an actor or actress. Another play with particu¬ lar hard parts was the senior play, “Mother Courage.” Mother Courage, played by Michelle Clement, was a mother not only to her three children Kattrin, Swiss Cheese, and Eilif but also to many soldiers during the “thirty-years war.” The “thir¬ ty-years war” was a war first between Protestants and Ro¬ man Catholics in the German states. This war began in 1618 and ended in 1648. Mother Courage and her children pulled a wagon with them everywhere they went and sold and traded goods with them civilians and sol¬ diers. Through their traveling they came upon many people such as a Catholic priest, which they helped many times when the priest was spotted, a cook that cooked for a Swed¬ ish commander, and Yvette, a young lady friendly to many men. There were hard times but Mother Courage, with a well-deserved name, made it through the war. “This play was extremely hard to perform. It wasn’t written to be entertaining. It was written to make people think about this war,” Mr. Larson stated. The seniors that performed this play acted their parts very well even though it was hard to under¬ stand and hard to make the audience understand. The Queen of Hearts makes her grand entrance by smashing the Kings tulip garden. The Dutchess, Cheshire Cat, and the Rabbit all look devastated. Heather Inman, who played Alice Tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum in- in two of the four plays, looks into the troduce themselves to Alice, trophy case dreaming of an Oscar. 14 Plays Mother Courage and three peas¬ ants look over Kattrin after she was shot by a passing soldier. . „ . . ,.

Plays 15 Dances — Music and Memories Girls running around in their bath robes, looking for make-up and trying to get dressed or guys washing and waxing cars are sure signs a dance is coming. The excite¬ ment of being with your friends, listening to your fa¬ vorite music, and dancing, al¬ ways comes to Patrick County dances. The first dance of the year, the Back to School dance, was a big success. The D.J., Butch Williamson of Chip ’n Dale out of Martinsville, really got the crowd up and moving. He played popular songs and kept people dancing. Then, with a bang, came Dave Bailey for the Home¬ coming dance. The theme, “Astro Disco” came to an un¬ derstatement for this dance. This was proven by the upbeat music and special effects shown by the D.J. Sophistication and class summarized the Christmas dance. Students gave up their jeans for formal dressings to celebrate the Christmas holi¬ days. The change in styles, however, had no effect on the amount of enjoyment felt by the students as they began to dance. The Sweetheart Dance, to celebrate Valentines Day, is al¬ ways a pageant of couples. This dance shows the true meaning behind dances, to get to be with the one you love or care for, your “sweetheart”. At this year’s dance the D.J. was Kenneth Anderson. Due to the great demand for a dance at the end of school, there is now an End of School Dance on May 4. “Astro Disco” is the theme for this dance, also with Dave Bailey as the D.J. Dances are part of the ex¬ pectations of high school. The freedom to be loud and have a good time with your friends is always long-awaited. The dance doesn’t end that night, though. The excitement and intensity brought over from the night before shows on ev¬ eryone’s faces the next day. The smiles from the memories of their high school Sweet¬ heart Dance, give this away. Linda Moran and Randall Mitchell are getting down to the music as Angie Rakes and Jason Brown get physical. Tammy Thompson and her date, S.A. Alderman, dance with the beat of the music. 16 Dances These three students take a break from dancing so much. k. Susan Bowling makes it a point to enjoy herself as she dances the night through. Dances 17 Special Olympics: A Time For Joy, Courage, Growth, and Confidence The 1983 Special Olympics was held on April 19, in Pat¬ rick County. Although the weather was extremely cool and windy, the smiles and happiness of those who com¬ peted seemed to brighten ev¬ eryone’s day. It was certainly a success. The Special Olympics, a competition between the physically and mentally handicapped, is sponsored each year by the Monogram Club. The PCHS Special Olympics works together with the PARC Workshop in Stuart and other a gencies around Patrick County. In addition, there were a few competitors from North Carolina. Ap¬ proximately one hundred in¬ dividuals competed in a vari¬ ety of events. The competitors ranged in age from nine to for¬ ty. Every member of the Mono¬ gram Club participated and everyone feels it is a worth¬ while event. Conna Turner, a Senior, summarized her feel¬ ings by saying, “It gives you a special feeling inside to see the joy on their faces — not only when they win but as they compete.” Senior David Ratliff com¬ mented, “It made me feel good about the work and time that went into it (Special Olym¬ pics) to see the smiles and joy of all the kids who aren’t quite as lucky as those who partici¬ pate in athletics at PCHS.” Both club members and Olympians alike, look forward to the event each year. There is also the chance for the Olympians to advance to re¬ gional and state Special Olym¬ pics. Jana Cassell, President of the Monogram Club, ex¬ pressed her feelings this way, “Participating in Special Olympics is a very rewarding experience for me — and for the club as a whole. Although a lot of time and work goes into preparing for the Olym¬ pics, it’s all worth it to see their smiling faces.” The slogan this year was ‘Joy, Courage, Growth, and Confidence’. Through Special Olympics, each Olympian and club member could learn the real meaning of each of these words. To see the determina¬ tion on their faces and the joy in their eyes — it was truly a growing experience for all. These Special Olympians wait at the starting line for the signal to begin the race. 18 Special Olympics Olympian Bobby Spencer displays his ribbons while Randy Lawless looks on. Special Olympics 19 Martial Arts Assembly Intrigues Student Body Sergeant Floyd Mumford demonstrates the pre-kick stance at the martial arts assembly. Though similar in technique to Tae Kwon Do karate, Chinese Goju is more of a spectacle to watch. The students at PCHS were both dazzled and intrigued when five members of the United States Army displayed their talents in the martial arts. The group consisted of three men and two women. The men were originally from Michigan, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico. One woman was from Chicago and the oth¬ er woman, currently serving as a lieutenant, was from New York. The group went through many different maneuvers and techniques which awed the students. Some particular moves which were appealing to the females were when the women threw the men to the floor. Just a simple flip of the arm or trip sent them sprawl¬ ing. Some of the demonstra¬ tions included breathing and concentration techniques, breaking boards, and sparring. Each maneuver was execut¬ ed with the utmost skill and dexterity. The moves appear to be simple, however, they are achieved with great expertise. After some board breaking exercises, one of the members went out into the audience and chose a student to come out and perform. Senior Sarah Travis was chosen. She ner¬ vously stepped out from the crowd and approached the boards. The members then ex¬ plained to Sarah, in only a few minutes, how to focus her con¬ centration on the board, and ultimately break it with her hand. She looked as though it was hopeless and also seemed very skeptical, but when she brought her hand down, the board snapped easily. The students learned that the forms of martial arts are effective methods of self-de¬ fense. Because it is very easy to hurt someone using these techniques, students were cautioned not to use them un¬ less they took a class under a well-trained teacher. One point that was stressed was that strength is not the important factor in executing the maneuvers. The key ele¬ ment is concentration. This was certainly proved when the one-hundred pound woman broke the board and threw much larger men to the floor. The last demonstration was sparring. Two at a time, the members “boxed” using the different maneuvers. They were equipped with special hand-arm and foot gear for this activity. It was exciting to see the agility and ease of their movements. The assembly was greatly enjoyed by the students. When the bell rang, everyone left in a flurry of excitement to try these moves on their friends. 20 Martial Arts Members of the Chinese Goju Black Dragon martial arts club include Ser¬ geant Gary Edward, Sergeant Floyd Mumford, Private Maria Pangam, First Lieutenant Linda Rustin, and Staff Sergeant Pabon Nery. Private Maria Pangam demonstrates the technique that is most effective when attacked by an aggressor. Sergeant Floyd Mumford demonstrates a front kick as Staff Sergeant Pabon Nery, in the background exhibits defensive front arm blocking techniques.

The fair was sponsored by the Stu¬ art Rotary Club. The fair hosted its sixth a nnual Miss Patrick County Fair Beauty Pageant. The contestants were judged by out-of-town judges on their pose, appear¬ ance, and public speaking ability. The emcee was Jim Litten of WHEO Radio Sta¬ tion in Stuart. The winner of this year’s pageant was Conna Turner. Conna is a senior here at Patrick County High School. Aside from the pageant which was held at the fair grounds, there was a various array of other exciting activi¬ ties. In the livestock category, there were different showings each night. Monday, the cow and calf show, Tuesday the Youth horse, Wednesday small animals, Thursday and Friday — the bulls, and then on Saturday the Horses. Un¬ der the “Big Top Tent” were located agricultural products and crafts. In the better living center, there were educational and commercial exhibits. There were four divisions of exhibits on display through¬ out the fair which was held September 12-17. There were also plenty of games, food, and rides on hand for your enjoyment. As in years past, the 1983 Patrick County Agricultural Fair was a great success. After “bumping” his opponent, Joseph Pfeifer expresses look of satisfaction. PC Fair 23 Shadows in the Night Words can’t describe the time, energy, efforts, and hope that go into the planning of each year’s prom. The day school begins, both Juniors and Seniors may be caught with thoughts of that prom they have looked so forward to in their minds. The prom doesn’t start until late April, but the work and planning in¬ volved will start months and months earlier. No one knows better than the Juniors that worked on the prom committee the long hours, difficult decorations, and complicated instructions involved in the success of the prom. Everything had to be perfect from the decorations and the theme down to the food and service. The service at the prom was provided by sophomores and a few fresh¬ men. The menu consisted of pizza, Swedish meatballs, ham biscuits, fountain drinks, and chocolate sundaes. On April 30,1983, the prom was finally here. The theme was “Shadows in the Night.” The people dancing to the mo¬ ment expressed the theme better than any words ever could. These lasting memories are the ones that will remain prominent in the minds and hearts of the Juniors and Se¬ niors at the prom forever. Ellen Hawkins registers at the entrance while Sophomores Tammy Thompson and Tracy Layman look on. After working hard on the Prom decorations all day, the Juniors take a short break. 24 Prom These Juniors take time out from dancing to enjoy some of the many refreshments catered by Cakes With Personality.

Wednesday was dress-down day where everyone could wear old clothes, “unmatched” clothes, or anything that stayed within the limits of the dress code. Thursday, dress-up day, was a day when everyone looked very distinguished. Harry Ep¬ person thought this to be an honorable day, also. Mr. Ep¬ person received an award for being the “distinguished Pat¬ rick Countian.” Friday, everyone was wait¬ ing for the time to come to go to the football field for the an¬ nual student vs. teacher soft- ball game. The faculty played each grade in a game and was successful in the win except for the last game. The seniors, after already losing two to the teachers, decided the last game would not be as easy. A tie game proved them right. The umpire, Mr. Mack George, received booing, hiss¬ ing and praise from both the students and faculty fans. All in good fun, though. “We go down there to have fun and I wouldn’t do it if it were any different,” Mr. George stated. Everyone had a lot of laughs and had a great time seeing some of the most “situp straight” and sophisticated teachers and students fall, miss an easy catch, or just strike out. Ann Belcher, Bidgie Buchanan, Nelson McCon¬ nell, Grandy Biggs and Mike Larsen take a rest after a hard game with some PCHS students. PCHS Days 27 One of the most memorable events each year is Patrick County High School Days. PCHS Days consists of one full week of dressing up, as¬ semblies, and somewhat less severe classes instead of the usual tests, studying, and homework. Probably the fa¬ vorite event of all is the teach¬ ers’ assembly. This past year’s assembly was no exception. The faculty portrayed charac¬ ters and acted out skits from the hit TV series “HEE HAW”. The emcee, Miss Be¬ verly Dillard, began the show and the “HEE HAW” gang did the rest. Mrs. Phyllis East- ridge, Mrs. Laura Flippin, and Teacher’s Assembly - Fun For All Mr. Mike Larsen portrayed Verne, wife, and mother-in- law from the series. This skit was a favorite with the stu¬ dents. Other characters in¬ clude Lulu Roman played by Mrs. Ellen Hawkins, Minnie Pearl superbly played by Mrs. Martha Martin, and also Ju¬ nior Samples, Grandpa Jones, and many more. Another of the more popular sketches was Mr. David Sparks imitating the Rev. Grady Nutt. His act was an amusing story about a country preacher. As in the television series, the “HEE HAW” gang ended in a harmonius tune by the “HEE HAW All Jug Band.” Fred Williams performs the “shotgun wedding” ceremony to join Gerald Culler and an ill-fated bride in holy matrimony. Parents of the bride, Evelyn Hazelwood and Mack George, oversee. Pat Kaye, Fred Brim, Clarence Hall, and Leon Pollard entertain students with gospel harmony. 28 PCHS Days Mr. Sparks adds a profound tone from his jug to harmonize the “All Jug Sounds ring from Clarence Hall’s banjo as he picks some tunes while the Band” sounds. faculty and teachers sing. Emcee Beverly Dillard, looks on while “The All Jug Band” performs at the end of the teachers assembly. PCHS Days 29 Is War A Thing of The Past Or A Threat To The Present? By Diane Puckett A family of four are in their livingroom enjoying their sta¬ ble family-life. The parents are sitting on their couch and glance over at their son and daughter and thank the dear Lord for their health and safe¬ ty. Their son of eighteen, just out of high school and their beautiful young daughter of sixteen just beginning to expe¬ rience the joys of teenage life. It is six o’clock and the evening news is coming on their television. On the news they tell of all that has hap¬ pened for the day in the Unit¬ ed States. Then the dreaded words come, “possible war in Lebanon,” which may cause the drafting of their son, only eighteen. Everyone is stunned. What would happen to their son? Would he make it through if it came to war? He’s so young. Veterans Roger Hope of Meadows of Dan and Fred Williams of Winston-Salem and a teacher at Patrick Coun¬ ty High School, were two men who were in wars and were lucky enough to make it through. Mr. Williams was in World War II and his total action duty was two years overseas and six months in the U. S. Army. “If we aren’t careful, we will be drawn in to fight in Lebanon. The longer they stay, the more we will get pulled into the fighting,” he commented. Mr. Hope is a veteran of the Vietnam War. Mr. Hope stat¬ ed that he was lucky when some of his buddies were not, they didn’t make it back home. “Little children, that were so cute, would come right up to you with a beautiful smile on their face, then when you looked down, there was a bomb strapped to their waist. It was a terrible sight.” Many people died this way, unneces¬ sarily. “I lay in bed asleep at night and still have night¬ mares of the war and some¬ times wake up crying.” Mr. Hope worked in a Red Cross Airlift sometimes during the war for twenty-four to forty- eight hours at a time. He saw many damaging sights of in¬ nocent people being wounded or killed that sometimes had nothing to do with the war. “I don’t regret going. I just wish I could’ve done more for my country. I would go back today if it would keep my son from going,” he said. Three seniors of Patrick County were asked what they thought about of all that was happening in Lebanon, Americans being killed almost every day by bombs, shoot¬ ings, and possibly other ways. David Bowman, eighteen, is ready to fight for his country if need be. Barren Harbour, sev¬ enteen, said he is willing to go if he were drafted but isn’t quite sure yet about enlisting. Greg Bowman, seventeen, is also willing to go and fight for his country if he were drafted, but like many other young men facing this situation, he is undecided about enlisting. They all had the same view¬ points on war. They, like al¬ most everyone, despise the idea but know it could be a re¬ ality anyday. The news is filled everyday about the happenings in Leba¬ non. There have been numer¬ ous reports of killings in Leba¬ non of U. S. Marines. These young men went over there not knowing if they would re¬ turn to see their young chil¬ dren or beautiful wives. One news story told of one marine killed and had been married six weeks. Another reported a Lebanese mother had lost a whole family of five young children all in one day to the bombings. We should all be thankful for the men who fought in past wars, and the many that gave their lives for the freedom of our country, the United States. War could be a possi¬ bility at any time like the fam¬ ily of four and Roger Hope and Fred Williams found out. War is reality and has no pity but with prayer and hope it might not happen. Roger Hope, a veteran of the Viet¬ nam War, now working at the Moun¬ tain House restaurant in Meadows of Dan, takes time out of his work to enjoy a moment of rest. 30 National News Beirut, Lebanon, April 19, An American Flag and a U.S. Marine standby as rescue workers sort through the ruins of the American Embassy in Beirut, after being hit by a terrorist bomb, killing many and wounding over 100. Mr. Fred Williams, a veteran of World War II, hurriedly flips through a magazine to catch the latest news topics. Barren Horbour glances up from his book to talk to his friends, David Bowman and Greg Bowman, about the possible draft which they are all eligible for.

Students And Faculty Choose Their Favorites Everyone has a favorite football team, a favorite song, or a favorite movie star. The students and faculty at PCHS took a poll of their favorites and most of the answers are not surprising. You can prob¬ ably guess what some of the responses are before reading the results. Patrick County teens follow trends just like teens across the country. Tom Selleck is most every- ones favorite male “10”. And who wouldn’t like to spend their vacation on the sandy shores at Myrtle Beach. Many people spend a lazy Sunday evening in the easy chair watching their favorite teams fight it out. Camaros are the “hot” cars with teens, while Def Leppard ranks high with their hit “Rock of Ages”. Pizza was an unanimously the student’s fa¬ vorite food. Levi’s and Nike’s were unanimous picks for both students and faculty. K92 in Roanoke got many votes as being the best radio station. There was a rivalry between McDonald’s and Hardee’s for the fast food chain. The “A-Team” with the famed Mr. T was a very popu¬ lar TV Show. Burt Reynolds and Eddie Murphy were in competition for the most liked movie star. While many chose Mt. Dew as their favorite soft drink, Dr. Pepper came in with a close second. There was a variety of answers for the magazine and the female “10”. Patrick County High seems to be keeping up with the lat¬ est trends, as shown by this poll. Although a number of the responses differ, many are similar. Each class is distinct from the others but all join to¬ gether to make a unifying body.

Judy Adams, sophomore, demon¬ strates the many techniques used in the Flag Corps. Fads are hobbies or styles that many people are interest¬ ed in at the same time, and it usually lasts a very short time. This year one of the fads that hit Patrick County High was the Panama Jack and Ocean Pacific shirts. Everyone seemed to be wearing them. The Panama Jack T-shirts usually had “Panama Jack” on the left side and the man on the back advertising the sun¬ tan lotion. After Panama Jack, came numerous other names such as Bahama Mama, Wahoo Jack, Tarheel Jack, and Cougar Jack? Ocean Pacific shirts were generally of the same style. The words “Ocean Pacific” was usually written across the front and along the sleeves. The various colors and styles are what kept the fad going. Bright purples, blues, reds, pinks, and many more were among these colors. Short sleeves, long sleeves, long shirts, and half-shirts were some of the different styles. Almost all students wore these shirts (or similar ones) until late in the fall. We all fig¬ ured the famous Panama Jack and Ocean Pacific shirts were gone for a while. Until one stu¬ dent wore a “long-john” shirt with the ever-so-familiar Pa¬ nama Jack on it. They’re still around. This fad was not only in our school, though. It was ob¬ served all around Virginia and probably the United States. Children, teenagers, and adults all seemed to be into this, and will continue to do so —- that is, until the next fad comes along. 34 Fads Bobby Martin and David Ratliff, displaying their Panama Jack shirts, talk between classes. Stacy Elgin takes a 6th period math test, while displaying a popular brand of shirt, Panama Jack. Fads 35 A Summer to Remember Though the summer of ’83 is drawing to a close, Patrick County High School students, David Baum and Jeff Love will not soon forget the events that made this summer spe¬ cial. Both young men spent a major portion of their summer in foreign countries. Sixteen year old David Baum, a sophomore, spent 16 days of his summer travelling with his family on a medical tour with the International Study Tour group. Among other family members, David was accompanied by his fa¬ ther, Dr. Joseph Baum, his mother, Lynn Terry, and his brother, Steve, who attends the University of Iowa Medi¬ cal School. From Raleigh-Durham Air¬ port, David flew to New York where he boarded a flight to Helsenki, Finland. After a night in Finland, he departed for Moscow where he spent three days. His tour continued throughout the USSR with visits to Baku, Arravan (near Mt. Ararat), and Georgia (USSR). While on tour with The In¬ ternational Study group, the doctors attended lectures and travelled to clinics in the areas to observe medical care. Dur¬ ing the day, family members of the doctors spent their time sightseeing and shopping. “Security was very tight,” comments David, “and the most obvious difference was seeing soldiers on the streets armed with guns.” While sightseeing, security people observed the tour groups, and the language barrier proved a definite problem. “They seem to be tough people,” explains David. “It seemed very natural to walk down the street and have someone run directly into you. Here, a person usually will step aside, or if they bump into you, they at least say, ‘Ex¬ cuse me’ — there, you either moved, or got run over,” he adds. While shopping, David vis¬ ited the Gum Store, the larg¬ est department store in the world located only two blocks from Red Square. There, a pair of Lee jeans sold for $75 in American currency. With few American fashion fad products available in the USSR, David was approached by a number of people on the street who spoke enough Eng¬ lish to offer him $70 for his Miami Dolphin football jer¬ sey, and $40 for a pair of Levi jeans. Raw fish was the main dish while David was in the USSR, and it was served with every meal. There were very few vegetables served, but soup was always available. Break¬ fast consisted of cheese, but¬ termilk, and rolls. David’s most memorable experience while in Moscow was with an inanimate object —■ a drink machine which used a non-disposable plastic cup. “I couldn’t believe it,” says David. “You decide what you want, press a button, and a stream of water comes out for you to wash the cup; then, you select your drink. After you drink the drink, you replace the cup in the slot for the next person to use.” Of all his miles of travelling, David enjoyed Helsenki, Fin¬ land, best. There, English was the prominent language, and the people seemed more Americanized, according to David. Seventeen year old Jeff Love, a senior, sent two months of his summer in Te¬ gucigalpa, Honduras as a par¬ ticipant in the Open Door Student Exchange program. Through this program, par¬ ticipants may choose to be placed with a family from Eu¬ rope, South America, or Cen¬ tral America. Jeff chose Cen¬ tral America, and coinciden¬ tally was placed in the home of Mito Sierraz, the 1982 foreign exchange student for whom the Love family was host. Originally, the program had placed Jeff in the home of the Vice-President of Honduras, however, he was most satisfied with his residence once he be¬ came aware that it was with his previous exchange visitor. Mito and Jeff knew of the placement arrangments a month in advance which gave them time to communicate prior to Jeff’s departure for Honduras. During his stay in Central America, Jeff attended school from 7 a.m. until 12:30 each day. School terms in Hondu¬ ras extended from March through November with vaca¬ tions schedulled during De¬ cember, January, and Febru¬ ary, the hottest months. “They are a little behind our schools,” explains Jeff. “We attended eight classes a day which rotated with a total of 11 classes. We had everything from geometry to trigono- mentry, and briefly touched bases with many different things.” English was taught as a for¬ eign la nguage and class sizes consisted of approximately 50 students who stayed in one room with teachers rotating according to subject, rather than the students changing classes. “I spoke Spanish the whole time I was there, and only spoke English when I was re¬ quested to do so,” says Jeff. He received no credit for his ef¬ forts of attending school in the summer months, but learning the language, Spanish, was adequate reward for Jeff. “When I first got there, I knew the words and a few simple sentences, but after a couple of weeks, I could use my knowl¬ edge almost fluently,” he ex¬ plains. Jose Armando Sierra Mora- zan, Jeff’s host father, gave him small Spanish lessons in the evenings. During class, since there were no textbooks, all notes were recorded in Spanish. For one written as¬ signment, Jeff wrote a paper about World War I — in Span¬ ish. Since Jeff’s host father worked as a road engineer for the country, travel and seeing surrounding sights was no problem. While in Central America, Jeff visited the At¬ lantic Coast, the Caribbean Coast, and the Pacific Coast. He also visited villages near Nicaragua and risked a trip across the border into El Sal¬ vador where guards held his passport until his return. “I felt no threat at any time while I was in Central Amer¬ ica,” says Jeff. “I read a lot about how dangerous it was to be in Honduras because of guerillas, but I saw little or no evidence while I was there. I did see small groups of sol¬ diers, and though they were armed with M-16’s, I never saw or heard one fired — and I didn’t see any tanks.” 36 Trips The Victory Bell Tower in Red Square, Moscow, was built and the bell was rung after the Russians successfully prevented Napolean from seizing Mos¬ cow. The dome is 14 carat gold and is worth almost $3 million. The Czar’s Palace in T’blisi, USSR, was built for the sole purpose of housing the Czar’s animals. Jeff Love spent a part of his summer outside the confines of a classroom. While in Honduras, horse¬ back riding was only one of the recreational activi¬ ties which occupied Jeff’s time. Trips 37 Performing Arts Repertory Theatre Presents Tubman Story - FREEDOM TRAIN Patrick County High School students were cultural¬ ly inundated January 30 at the performance of FREEDOM TRAIN by the Performing Arts Repertory Theatre of New York City. The perfor¬ mance was sponsored by the Reynolds Homestead. FREEDOM TRAIN tells the story of Harriet Tubman — the Moses of her people, in a fascinating series of highly theatrical scenes; scenes that use dance, dialogue, mime and music of the period. FREE¬ DOM TRAIN is a story about self sacrifice, dedication and survival; it is also laced with warmth and a sense of humor that celebrates the human spirit. Harriet Tubman was born a slave, but when she was 25, she made her perilous escape from a Maryland plantation, leaving her family behind. Pursued by dogs and relentless slave catchers, she followed an escape route laid out by Quak¬ ers — secret hiding places in churches, barns, cellars and homes. When she finally ar¬ rived in Philadelphia (out of “Egypt” and into the “Prom¬ ised Land”) she said, “I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now I was free. There was such glory over ev¬ erything! The sun come like gold through the trees and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.” The escape route that Har¬ riet followed was known as the Underground Railroad, and she quickly became one of its most celebrated “conductors.” Up creek beds, through swamps, over hills in the dark of night, on nineteen secret trips, Harriet Tubman guided more than 300 slaves includ¬ ing her aged parents to free¬ dom. “I never run my train off the track,” she said, “and I never lost a passenger.” The director of FREEDOM TRAIN is Gloria Jones Schultz. As a tribute to several Broadway roles to her credit, she received a TONY nomina¬ tion for her performance in DOES A TIGER WEAR A NECKTIE. She was also fea¬ tured in the television produc¬ tion of the highly acclaimed TO BE YOUNG GIFTED AND BLACK. Ms. Schultz has been a teacher and per¬ former at the Negro Ensemble Company and is also Vice President of OPERATION KIDS, a multi-media, multi¬ racial child development orga¬ nization. FREEDOM TRAIN was written by Marvin Gordon, who choreographed Duke Ell¬ ington’s POUSE CAFE on Broadway, CINDY Off- Broadway and is one of New York’s most active director choreographers of industrial shows. He is also producer of his own dance company, BAL¬ LET CONCEPTS, and wrote one other show for PART, PO¬ CAHONTAS. FREEDOM TRAIN is pro¬ duced by PART, a New York pased non-profit organization and America’s foremost pro¬ fessional theatre for young people and their families. PART’S Equity productions have played to over 4V2 million people in 35 states — in America’s theatres, schools, and civic centers, as well as Lincoln Center in New York and the Kennedy Center and Ford’s Theatre in Washing¬ ton. PART is assisted by grants from the National Endow¬ ment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts and has been commended for excellence by the Ameri¬ can Educational Theatre As¬ sociation and endorsed by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Harriet Tubman and her brothers carry on with daily duties as they are watched by a guard. 38 Freedom Train Harriet Tubman returns to visit her father after making her risky escape to Philadelphia. Her father wears a blindfold so that he will not have to tell a lie about seeing his daughter after her escape. Bonova and Sokham Pov - Here To Stay Moving into a new town may be scary for some, but how about moving into a new country and unable to speak much of their language? These were the circumstances for freshmen Bonova and Sokham Pov this past No¬ vember. The two cousins lived in Cambodia and then came here to Patrick County. They said they enjoyed coming to Pat¬ rick County High and really liked the people. When asked about girls, they both smiled big and said they liked them all. Sports was another subject they enjoyed. Football was the favorite of both and basketball next. Bonova said he had nev¬ er seen a baseball game played but Sokham said he liked it. The schools in Cambodia and Thailand were very differ¬ ent from here in the U.S. Stu¬ dents there wore uniforms of green and white for girls and tan and white for boys. The teachers are so well respected they are “ranked” next to priests which happen to be very high in status, of course. Girls are not allowed to speak to boys and boys to girls. Stu¬ dents are not allowed to speak in class, but their attention must be directed to the teach¬ er. Schools were closed from 1975 to 1979 because of the ruler. Both boys were in school two years before the schools closed but Bonova was in two years after 1979, also. Bonova has one sister and three brothers but hasn’t seen them since the family was split up by the government. Sokham is an only child and now lives with his cousin. They both stayed in Thailand after escaping from a refugee camp in Cambodia. The two boys seem to have adapted well to our ways so far. They enjoy many things most teenagers do, such as Pac-Man, roller skating, and the A-Team. Bonova and Sok¬ ham both plan on staying in the United States and if we’re fortunate enough, they will. Sokham listens while Bonova ex¬ plains himself. When asked about girls, Bonova an¬ swers with a smile. 40 Here to Stay Bonova ponders before answering, while Sokham gives his opinion. Staff member Diane Puckett pre¬ pares to write down Bonova’s answer. Athletic Prominence And a Path to the ’84 Olympics Evalene Hatcher, a 1978 graduate of Patrick County High School still has her sights leveled on participating in the 1984 Olympic Games. Her training and participa¬ tion in track and field has done more than simply pre¬ pare her for the ultimate; it has also provided her with a cost-free college education and travel which has allowed her to traverse the country nu¬ merous times. Evalene became interested in track and field during her eighth grade year, and she par¬ ticipated that year despite the fact that eighth graders were not eligible to compete for school points. By her sophomore year, Evalene was setting school re¬ cords with every event in which she competed. By graduation, she had won three trophies and 18 medals for track and field, and she had set school records in seven events, all of which still stand. Her main event was, and still is, long jump, however, she participates in a variety of running events as well. Twice, Evalene was Pied¬ mont District and Region III long jump champion, and twice she returned to Patrick County from annual state competition with no medal. YOUNG ATHLETE maga¬ zine printed a short feature ar¬ ticle about her two-time fail¬ ure in state competition; the title of the article was “Third Time’s a Charm,” and the third time was the winning trip. During her senior year of high school, she had but one last chance to qualify for state level competition and to place in her event. After a 1978 first place fin¬ ish in long jump for the Pied¬ mont District, and a disap¬ pointing fourth place in the Region III competition, she sprung an 18’ V 2 ” jump at state level competition for a first place finish. Not only did this make Evalene the Virginia long jump champion for 1978, it also set another school re¬ cord. Since high school, Evalene attended Delaware State Col¬ lege for a year and transferred to Morgan State University where she finished her under¬ graduate studies which were funded by athletic scholar¬ ships. She earned her bachelor of science degree in health and physical education. Evalene’s college and club participation in track and field has provided her with valuable opportunities to meet and compete with some of the top track athletes from the past and the present. She has competed and trained with Kathy McMillan, 1976 Olym¬ pic silver-medalist for long jump, and she is currently be¬ ing trained by Ralph Boston, three-time Olympic gold- medalist for long jump. In her travels, she has com¬ peted against Jodi Anderson, American record holder for long jump, and she has run against Evelyn Ashford, world-class innovative sprint¬ er. Evalene has competed at Madison Square Garden in a televised meet that was hosted by Bruce Jenner, and she has met and talked with former Olympic star Wilma Rudolph. Her competition has taken her to numerous college cam¬ puses including the University of Richmond, University of Virginia, William and Mary, University of Pittsburg, Tow- son State University, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, U.C.L.A., and Dartmouth. She has travelled from coast to coast many times. One spring schedule took her coast to coast four times in only a week. She has competed at the Richmond Coliseum and the U.S. Naval Academy in An¬ napolis. She has attended meets in Syracuse, Sacramen¬ to, Los Angeles, New Hamp¬ shire, Indianapolis, and Bos¬ ton. From the Milrose Games in New York City to the Olym¬ pic training camp in Colorado, Evalene has seized opportuni¬ ties to improve her perfor¬ mances by competing with track’s finest athletes. She has participated in more than 73 meets since graduation from high school. Of those opportunities to compete, Evalene has won 39 first places for long jump and an impressive 62 first places overall. In 1980, she qualified for the Olympic trials with her performance at the A.A.U. Se¬ nior Nationals held at U.C.L.A. As a result of the Olympic trials, Evalene was selected as an alternate for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. Since the United States did not send re¬ presentatives to Moscow that particular year, no Olympic members traveled. Evalene’s ticket to the ’84 Olympics relies on a first, sec¬ ond, or third place finish in one meet, yet, all the years of training for the ultimate, the Olympic Games, either pays off in this one meet or the ath¬ lete has four more years before trying again. While a freshman at Delaware State, Evalene Hatcher concentrates prior to competition. 42 Evalene Hatcher Ralph Boston, three-time Olympic gold medalist, gives Evalene some pointers on how to approach the hur¬ dles. Evalene, a beginning hurdler, ran a practive time only .5 seconds from the Olympic qualifying standard. Ralph Boston, Evalene Hatcher, and 1976 Silver medalist, Kathy McMillan casually discuss the up¬ coming Olympic Games. THE PERSON WHO THINKS HE CAN If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win, but think you can’t, It is almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost, For out of the world we find Success begins with a person’s will — It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You’ve got to think high to rise,’ You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later, the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can. Among the many well-known ath¬ letes that Evalene has met is included gold medalist sprinter, Wilma Ru¬ dolph.

Just a few of them are energetic, challenging, hectic, enriching, busy, and most of all, completely unfor¬ gettable. There are so many activities and events, not to mention friends and loved ones, to make this year the most memora¬ ble one of all. Although the year “flies by”, the memories will be forever prominent. Let’s start with the first one — energet¬ ic. It takes plenty of energy to make it through the year. There are dances to at¬ tend, teams to support, and clubs to par¬ ticipate in. The year began with the Back to School Dance. After it, followed the Homecoming, Christmas, Sweetheart, and End of School Dances. The Jr.-Sr. Prom was presented by the Junior Class in honor of the seniors. This was certain¬ ly a highlight for many. Another notable interest was the many athletic events. Not only was attendance high for home games, but there was an increasing amount of support given at away games. A number of senior athletes gave out¬ standing performances also. Challenging is one adjective that de¬ scribes a senior’s curriculum. With lab re¬ ports, short stories, math papers, novels, and computer projects, there are certain demands placed upon seniors. There is one consolation, though. Seniors do not have to take the final exams if they keep their grades up from one semester to the next. To many, it is a hectic year. First, there are invitations and announcements to or¬ der. Senior portraits have to be made. Caps and gowns and senior jewelry orders are placed. This year, seniors had the op¬ tion of buying T-shirts with the entire class’s signatures on them. With the flur¬ ry of ordering this and ordering that, it proved to be a hectic — and expensive year. The times with friends or your special one, all the preparation for college, and new experiences and challenges; together these made it an enriching year. Busy definitely describes one’s senior year. While some are busy filling out job applications, others are filling out college applications. Then there are applications for financial aid and for scholarships. Room Mothers were nominated and mas¬ cots were selected. This year’s mascots were Matthew Rorrer, nominated by Ka¬ ren Felts; and Susan Hopkins, nominated by Rhonda Hopkins. Class colors were chosen to be blue and silver and the class song was “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Class superlatives were voted on and the motto was chosen. The motto is “The moment may be temporary but the memory is for¬ ever.” The motto seems to sum it up. Al¬ though the year is past, we will always have the memories of an unforgettable year. Clay Shelor was the recipient of the DAR award while Tracy Reynolds was crowned Homecoming Queen. Davis Pil- son and Pauline Williams were named Mr. and Miss Senior. Tommy Brammer attended Governor’s School and Melanie Smith reigned as Miss Patrick County ’83. Conna Turner was crowned Miss Patrick County Fair and Tim Goad goes to play football at UNC next year. These are just a few of the prominent members of the Senior Class. Each and every se¬ nior had personal victories and accom¬ plishments that will remain with him. The senior year is truly unforgettable.

Two of Clay’s favorite pastimes are hunting and fishing. He en¬ joys these because he has a love for the outdoors. Clay also enjoys swimming. He plays the guitar and the fiddle. He has been playing the fiddle for quite some time and is a very competent fiddler. It is no surprise that his favorite type of music is Bluegrass. Not only does he attend fid¬ dlers’ conventions regularly, he performs frequently. Clay was born in Roanoke and since then has lived in Northern Virginia and Floyd. He and his family reside in Stuart. Since living in Patrick County, he has really gotten attached to the life and the people. “When I get out on my own, I want to live in a rural area similar to where I live now.” He truly appreciates the privacy and peacefulness of the coun¬ try. During the summer, Clay spent his time doing construction work and found this to be an enjoyable experience. Clay is one of several students taking the new computer science course at the high school. Although he likes all of his classes for the most part, he finds com¬ puter science to be the most interesting — although challenging. After graduation, Clay will attend Vir¬ ginia Tech. He plans to major in horticul¬ ture. After college, he would like to settle down and start a family. Using some spare time to his advantage, Clay Shelor finishes an assignment in Computer Science. 48 Seniors David Bowman Greg Bowman Jeff Bowman Jerry Bowman Joseph Bowman Martha Bowman Phillip Bowman Tommy Brammer Barry Brown Terry Carter Karen Cassady Jana Cassell David Chaney Junior Childress Joel Clark MARY JACQUELINE ADAMS; Carl and Brenda Adams, Rt. 2 Box 155-C, Ferrum: FHA, Latin, Spanish, Library, Science, USAA National Award Winner for History and Government.

He started taking advanced classes upon entering the high school. Studious and dedicated, Mark is truly an excellent stu¬ dent. When he is not studying, you may find him reading, writing stories, playing one of his favorite sports, or just collect ing coins. Mark also enjoys watching sports on television — baseball, football, and basketball. Along with his advanced schedule, he enjoys participating in club activities. Mark has been a member of the Sr. Beta Club since the tenth grade and has been a member of the Spanish Club for several years also. He also participat¬ ed in the potential expansion program in which he did various projects and activi¬ ties. He has won awards in History and Government. Mark gets along well with everyone. Easy-going and considerate, he is very well-liked. Not surprisingly, Mark re¬ ceived the DAR good citizenship award in elementary school. Mark has mixed feelings about gradu¬ ation “I’ll be glad to get out, but I’ll also miss it because I’ve had some real good times here.” As far as the future goes, he plans on attending Virginia Tech. After college he would like to settle down in a rural area somewhere near Patrick Coun¬ ty and possibly get married. Getting ready to begin work on his program, Mark Nichols spends his spare time in the computer science room.

John has been on the wrestling team for five years. He has excelled in this, having won many matches. He played Baseball one year and was on the varsity football team. His position was outside linebacker or as most call it, “Monsterback”. John enjoys all sports but states that wrestling is his favorite. One of John’s favorite pastimes is ca¬ noeing. He has been canoeing since he was in the fifth grade. He has entered many competitions and has won several. Fishing and hunting are also on his list of favorite activities. John has been in the Spanish and Library Clubs and is pres¬ ently in the Senior Beta and Monogram Clubs. He is also a member of the Cougar Marching Band. A Boy Scout, since age 11, John recently received his Eagle Scout Award. Before the bell rings, John Keese looks over his Chemistry just in case Mr. Kloock decides to give a pop quiz. Over the summer, he worked for the Cowley Construction Comapny. His weekends are usually spent in town or at college ballgames. His idea of a good time is being out with the “five bro’s for the brew”. John states that his Senior year is his best year yet. Also, his trip to the beach will be the highlight of the year. After graduation, John plans on going to Vir¬ ginia Tech and majoring in chemical en¬ gineering. Seniors 55 RANDY LAWLESS; Mr. Larry J.

The Archive Editor assumed her posi¬ tion after a year of experience on the yearbook staff as business manager, how¬ ever, her time is not devoted entirely to the yearbook production. In addition to being Editor, Rhonda is also active in Se¬ nior Beta and served as President of the Spanish Club. Extracurricular activites can quickly consume any student’s time, particularly the time-consuming task of editing the high school yearbook, but despite the seemingly endless hours of time that Rhonda devoted to the Archive, she maintains a grade point average of 96.333. This cummulative average is the highest of the graduating class and merits Rhonda the honor of being the 1984 Vale¬ dictorian. Perhaps the most appropriate descrip¬ tion for Rhonda Hopkins is “Responsi¬ ble”, although peers add other qualities which would be complimentary of any high school senior. “Rhonda is her own person,” explains David Ratliff. “She’s easy to get along with, she’s even tempered, and she’s very mature.” Teachers summarize Rhonda with a flurry of positive descriptions from “con- by any number of people, the Archive scientious” to “highly responsible”. She staff agrees, “She gets the job done!” exhibits “uncompromising morality and integrity, and unwavering confidence,” but aside from any descriptions provided Rhonda Hopkins, ARCHIVE Editor, marks the contacts for pictures needed.

Liked by all his classmates, Jerry truly has a mag¬ netic personalty. There’s never a dull mo¬ ment when you are around him. Not only does he have a talent for mak¬ ing friends, Jerry has a knack for playing the saxophone. He learned to play in ele¬ mentary school. Mr. Pons taught him how and he has continued to be a great help to him. Jerry has taken band for a total of seven years — two in elementary school and five years in high school. He has been in the marching band for four years. Jerry took an interest in band be¬ cause his Dad played the drums, and his brother, Jim, played the trombone. They all encouraged him to participate and through lots of practice, he has become quite a performer. Jerry states that he would like to learn to play other instru¬ ments in the near future. Like most teenagers, his favorite music is rock — his favorite radio station being K92. In his spare time, Jerry enjoys hunt¬ ing, fishing, and riding horses. He has been in the 4-H, Library, and Spanish Clubs. A Boy Scout since he was eleven years old, he has recently achieved Eagle Scout. It took a lot of hard work and is a very high honor among Scouters. He was employed by Fairystone State Park. Jerry spends most of his weekends “uptown.” “One of the best things about school is having fun with ‘the gang’. My Senior year is certainly the best one of all.” Jerry is looking forward to graduation, though. He plans on going to Virginia Tech and majoring in banking. Jerry Hall listens intently to Randy Gunter dur¬ ing band class.

Talented and energetic are certainly two words that describe senior Karen Helms. She has taken drama for two years and has been involved in drama re¬ lated activities for the past four years. Karen obtained a leading role in the play “A Feudin’ Over Yonder” and had a star role in this year’s senior play “Mother Courage and her Children.” She was in¬ volved in forensics for two years, making it to regionals once. Karen also enjoys a variety of other ac¬ tivities. Her favorite subject is short¬ hand. She also enjoys partying, acting in plays, and watching old movies. “To me, old movies seem much more believable than the ones I have watched recently.” She spends the rest of her spare time rid¬ ing motorcycles, listening to her favorite rock music, and planning out activities for the Thespian Society, in which she is Vice-President. After high school, Karen plans to go to a community college where she will major in business and minor in drama, or vice- versa. While attending college, she plans to stay in very close touch with the people and the happenings of Patrick County because of her fondness of the area.

Music and academics are only two of multi-talented Wendy Greer’s specialties. For the past year and a half, Wendy has been an important part of the local rock group entitled, “Grand Illusions”. Wendy plays the bass guitar and sings. She states that for her own personal enjoyment she likes to listen to hard rock. When she is performing, however, Wendy prefers to play and sing soft rock. Although she gets very nervous before and during a perfor¬ mance, this feeling usually goes away fas¬ ter if the audience is rather small. This is the major reason Wendy gave for prefer¬ ring to perform at dances. Wendy has been an active member of the Senior Beta Club since the second semester of the tenth grade. She is an “A” student and enjoys all of her classes. If she had to choose a favorite class, though, it would be U.S. History. In her spare time, she enjoys drawing, listening to music, and playing the guitar. Wendy has plans for going to college but as of right now, her plans are still incomplete. She lives in Patrick Springs with her parents, Polly and Ted Greer, and her two sisters, Cindy and Tina.

He is a well-liked, popular teenager with many friends. Kevin won the good citi¬ zenship award in the seventh grade at Blue Ridge Elementary School. Kevin has a variety of interests which includes fishing, hunting, and reading. His peers describe him as shy and quiet, but a very friendly person. Kevin also en¬ joys watching television and listening to rock music on his favorite radio station 107 FM. Kevin is the middle child, having one brother and one sister. His brother, Ran¬ dall, is currently serving as the president of the student council. Kevin is enrolled in electronics and states that it is his fa¬ vorite class. He hasn’t decided which col¬ lege to attend but does know that he would like to be an electrician. When he is not busy with other obliga¬ tions, Kevin is planning out field trips, fund raisers, projects, and pasttimes for the Spanish Club. Kevin is the President of this club. It involves a lot of time and energy but he manages very well. With his responsible nature and charismatic per¬ sonality, Kevin should have a very special future. Looking over his electronics assignment, Kevin Mitchell waits for class to begin. 64 Juniors Michelle Joyce Dan Kammerer Melvin King Ronnie Knight Connie Lackey Mark Lackey Kelley LaForce Robyn Lankford C.L.

Moving from one school to another would take some adjusting for anyone. Junior, Tim Potter sure made it look easy. He has had no trouble making friends since transferring to Patrick County from Bassett High School. He has found the students here to be much more sociable than the ones at Bassett. Tim also relates some of the differences between the two schools. Although the two school systems are fairly close together, they have major differences. At Bassett, Tim describes the people as being “too good for everyone else.” The students here at Patrick County High School are more friendly and outgoing. Some principal distinctions lie within the school rules. Students at Bassett are al¬ lowed to leave during their lunch break, whereas, Patrick County Students are not. Notes for leaving school or returning are not required. One difference that is especially felt in the summer is air-condi¬ tioning. Bassett is a new school. It has air-conditioning, however, the re are no windows in the school. Tim commented that he would rather have windows be¬ cause sometimes the air-conditioning doesn’t function properly. Tim was also opposed to the method of placing those students who took voca¬ tional courses in regular math and Eng¬ lish classes. Even though they need col¬ lege preparatory courses, they are not al¬ lowed to take them. Tim has several interests. He enjoys slot car racing and riding motorcycles. Sports is also on the top of his list. He started out playing football for our Cou¬ gar team but was forced to quit because of district rules. Tim does plan to play Varsi¬ ty Baseball in the Spring. He is certainly looking forward to this. Most of his weekends are spent in ei¬ ther Stuart or Collinsville. Playing video games is a favorite pasttime with Tim. Some of his time is just spent listening to his favorite music on G105. As far as the future is concerned, his plans are incom¬ plete.

He couldn’t be happier than when he is running down the foot¬ ball field or around the track. Robert is on the football team and the track team. He is constantly conditioning and is regular around the weight room. “I like football because there is a lot of physical contact and you get to hit guys head to head. It’s really a lot of fun,” he stated. Track is also one of Robert’s fa¬ vorite sports. “I like the hurdles best be¬ cause you get to jump instead of just run around.” In addition to doing hurdles, Robert runs the 220 and 100 yard dash. Robert lives in Stuart with his two sis¬ ters, one brother, and parents. As a junior at Patrick County High, he really enjoys school. After high school, he hopes to go to a four-year college and play football or run track. He is still undecided as to what college he would like to attend. Robert has had a painful sports career in high school. “I wish I could start all over again in the eighth grade playing football and not get hurt. I hope my youn¬ ger brother grows up and likes football. I just hope he doesn’t get hurt much.” Because of all his injuries from sports, Robert will probably be unable to contin¬ ue playing on the football team in his se¬ nior year but is really working hard for the track season. “As far as I know, you can’t get hurt on the track unless you trip on your own feet.” Football and track are not the only things Robert enjoys. Swimming, jog¬ ging, and partying are also a big part of his life. On weekends he takes in movies or just hangs around with his friends. His favorite football team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Robert Vaughn takes time out from lifting weights to laugh at a joke. 68 Juniors Robert Vaughn Timmy Vernon Jack Via Richard Via Brenda Wade Timmy Wade Wanda Walton Stephanie Williams Jessica Willis Chris Wilson Ronald Wilson Sandra Wilson Eddie Wood Marie Wood Billy Young Karen Young Sharon Young Working diligently, Ken Blackard tries to finish his Trig assignment before the bell rings.

Juniors 69 Yolanda Biggs: Photography an Integral Part of Life “Smile, you’re on Cougar Camera,” would be a statement that sophomore Yo¬ landa Biggs would say. Photography plays a big part in Yolanda’s life. Since the age of seven, and getting her first camera, she has taken many pictures. Her concentration is in sports photography and she has taken many pictures of home games at the high school. Recently, Yolanda has received a job at the Enterprise newspaper, replacing her brother, Nathan, as photographer and dark room technician. “I love working for the Enterprise,” says Yolanda, “and I hope I can continue with it.” Yolanda enjoys taking pictures of peo¬ ple and action shots. “Most people try hiding from the camera,” she explains, “but I still like it.” The strange thing with Yolanda’s photography hobby is that she dislikes having her own picture taken. “I’m just like all the other people. I shy away from the camera, also,” she laughs. Yolanda lives with her mother and fa¬ ther in Patrick Springs. She enjoys ballet and has taken ballet lessons for ten years. She also enjoys acting and is a member of the Drama Club. As a member of the Junior Beta club, Yolanda is active in academics. She be¬ longs, also to the Spanish Club. Yolanda hopes to go to college and plans to major in psychology. Yolanda Biggs relaxes in the library after com¬ pleting her daily assignment.

Mike enjoys football, basketball, and baseball, but he especially likes base¬ ball. His favorite playing positions are first base and pitching. At the moment, his favorite baseball team is the Atlanta Braves. Mike played Varsity basketball as a guard, and he played football as a defen¬ sive end and quarterback. After school Mike participates in sports and the youth group at his church. On weekends he likes going to dances, hanging around with his friends, and playing ball. Mike prefers rock music over country. Typing is Mike’s favorite subject. He states that biology is his least favorite subject, but strangely enough he does en¬ joy science. He is a homeroom represen¬ tative and a tenth grade class officer. Mike is also a member of the Spanish Club. Mike lives in Stuart and has an older brother and sister. After Mike graduates from high school he plans to go to college and increase his knowledge of the Span¬ ish language. “Although”, Mike said, “PCHS has its flaws, I like it here pretty good. Everyone makes you feel at home.” Mike Rorrer, an avid sports enthusiast, is found outside the gymnasium, near the athletic trophy case. 72 Sophomores Timmy Hatcher Lisa Hayden Michelle Heath Porter Heath Yvonne Helms Michael Hiatt David Hill Larry Hill Pam ' Hill Terry Hill Jeff Holliman Vicky Holt Ronnie Hopkins James Houchins Tina Houle Cindy Hubbard Teddy Hubbard Danny Hughes Randy Hunt Greg Hutchens Jerry Hutchens Kim Hutchens Dwayne Hylton Kenneth Hylton Lea Ann Hylton Mark Hylton Vicky Hylton Heather Inman Melba Tuggle and Angie Rakes, sophomores, relax on the steps outside the auditorium after a hectic day of photographing clubs for the yearbook.

As a sophomore at PCHS, Tobe en¬ joys being a student in the chorus class. “I sing at least one song a day, everyday. I just love to sing,” he remarked. Singing is not the only activity Tobe enjoys. Dancing and acting are also hob¬ bies. He was in the school play, “Alice in Wonderland,” in the ninth grade and hopes to be in this year’s play. The talent show was also an activity of Tobe’s, last year. In past years Tobe has received many trophies and blue ribbons during Nation¬ al Foreign Language Week at Surry Com¬ munity College. The Stuart fair also was a place for ribbons and Tobe received a blue ribbon for some exhibitions entered. Tobe enjoys school but like every stu¬ dent he has some disliked classes. “I have to act crazy just to be able to make it through some classes. I am not as carzy as I seem, I can be serious at times,” he said laughing.

It is harder than most people think,” he added. Mike has worked hard to get to where he has gotten. He practiced with the golf team when he was in the eighth grade but was unable to be on the team until his freshman year. The next year he was on the team and on top. This happened in the tenth grade for him, also. “I like being able to hit that little white ball such a far distance. It’s really just competition with the course.” Getting along with his friends and teachers and liking most of his classes helps him out a great deal. Mike plans to go to college to major in architecture or computer science. Mike has lived in Patrick County for about thirteen years and has attended Patrick County High for two years, work¬ ing on three now. He said his main hob¬ bies were sports, computers, and eating. He enjoys basketball next to golf, but as far as sports are concerned, golf is still number one in his life.

One of the more prestigious is the P.E.P. Club. Freshman Todd Hub¬ bard was invited into the P.E.P. Club dur¬ ing his first year at Patrick County Hi h and he is a very active member. Todd is a very intelligent, hard working person. He takes advanced courses and does very well in them; of course, there is a price to pay — homework. Todd consid¬ ers it very important, but he does find time for other activities. He has many very fascinating interests. He enjoys at¬ tending horse shows and building model cars. He has an intense interest in com¬ puters and hopes to own one some day. Todd is also a member of the FFA Club. When Todd is not busy with any of his hobbies, he could probably be found lis¬ tening to his favorite rock music on K-92. Todd has plans to try out for the basket¬ ball and football teams this year. After high school, Todd plans to go to college. He is not yet sure what he wants his future to hold, but probably a career dealing with computers will be his choice.

It was a normal day, it seemed, perfect for working in hay. After loading the bales of hay onto the truck, Robbie and his friend, Heath Inman, climbed onto the back of the truck. Riding a little down the road, the hay started to shift from the movement of the truck with the two boys on it. They both fell off. Heath hit the ground first, but was only bruised and scratched up — much luckier than his friend, Robbie. Robbie had fallen on his head. “The last thing I remember was screaming.” He lay unconscious for elev¬ en days in the hospital. While in the hospital, Robbie had to have an operation. They had to reduce the swelling of his brain by removing part of the skull. He had already had a frac¬ tured skull and lost some of the cartilage in his ear. In the eleventh day of unconsciousness for Robbie a nurse came into his hospital room and asked his mother what his fa¬ vorite kind of music was. She answered saying, “hard rock.” The nurse turned on a radio to a hard rock station and turned the volume all the way up. Finally, Robbie woke up. Robbie is doing fine now and is glad to be out of the hospital and back with his friends and family. “I’m definitely going to use common sense from now on,” he stated. After asking Robbie if there was any¬ thing he would like to add, he quickly stated, “I’d never die. Not yet anyhow. Not me! But I would like to thank every¬ one who sent me cards, called, and prayed for me. I really believe that helped speed up my recovery.” 80 Freshmen 4:® Though his haircut is a bit shorter than usual, Robbie Mitchell is as personable as ever after a near-fatal accident that left him unconscious for eleven days. Prayers, cards, and sentiments of friends helped to speed his miraculous recovery de¬ spite the unfavorable prognosis of the doctors. “I learned a lesson in common sense,” says Robbie. “Don’t sit on the top of the hay!” Tamera Hall Donna Hamm Mark Hamm Lydia Hand Amy Handy Lisa Handy Terri Harrell Amanda Harris Delane Heath Anita Hill Pam Hopkins Annette Hughes John Hughes Sammy Hughes Barry Hylton Darian Hylton Derina Hylton Marty Hylton Renee Hylton Timmie Hylton Edward Jenkins Peggy Johnson Christine Jones Donna Joyce Estelle Joyce Mike Joyce Patricia Kamm Amy Key Virginia Kiefer Christy Knight Renee Kodenski Christie Knight Misty Knight Stan Knott Jonathan Large Freshmen 81 Kris Larsen Tracy Law Bart Lawson C.J.

Larry de¬ veloped an early interest and began play¬ ing while in elementary school. Although he had a natural talent for basketball, he received tips from his coach and other players that helped to “polish” his play¬ ing. As a freshman in Patrick County High, Larry is on the Junior Varsity team playing guard. In the eighth grade, he played on the ninth grade team. As always there has to be a favorite Larry Wood waits for the activity bus after a long and fatiguing basketball practice. Larry continues to hone his basketball skills with help from friends and coaches. team and for Larry, the Virginia Cava¬ liers have played to his expectations. Othell Wilson has another fan. Larry says he really enjoys college basketball and es¬ pecially likes Othell Wilson. Practicing basketball takes up a lot of Larry’s time but he has also taken up ten¬ nis, and is quite good at it. He feels that his schoolwork is important too — his favorite subject being either math or sci¬ ence. In college, Larry plans to major in a science related field. Freshmen 83 Sci-Fi, Dungeons and Dragons, and Academics Fuel Ronnie’s Interests Freshman, Ronnie Epperson has a wide variety of interests. Ronnie loves to collect comics — no particular kind, just all comics. He also greatly enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons. Along with these activities he enjoys reading books, maga¬ zines, and other articles on science fic¬ tion. Science fiction movies are particu¬ larly interesting to him. Ronnie has re¬ cently developed a thriving interest in computer science and chemistry. He stat¬ ed that with having Mr. Kloock in the eighth grade for advanced science, his in¬ terest in chemistry and other advanced sciences peaked. Ronnie’s favorite sub¬ ject is Wor ld History. He said that he did not dislike any of his classes. History and geography are two areas of interest for him, also. On weekends, Ronnie spends his time listening to his favorite radio station, Z- 93, reading, or going to town. Ronnie is in his second year of Latin and he enjoys it a great deal. He is also a member of the Latin Club. He commented that the club was a lot of fun as well. Ronnie is a native of Maryland. He lived there six years before moving to Patrick County. “Ararat has a much slower pace, but I like it here quite well.” When asked what he likes best about Pat¬ rick County High School, he said the classes were interesting and there was a lot to choose from, but the teachers were the best. After high school Ronnie plans to go to college. He would also like to do a lot of traveling — possibly with the Air Force. He isn’t sure which college he will choose or what his profession will be yet. Howev¬ er, he could be leaning toward a career in computer science because he is very much fascinated by it.

With spinabifida, part of the bony spine that helps to protect the spinal cord does not develop properly; nerves in the spinal cord in the area of the defect are exposed and unprotected. Usu¬ ally this disorder affects the lower spine. Angela recognizes her limits, but is not stopped from participating in areas which are of interest to her. “I’m game to try new stuff,” she says. “This summer I learned to swim.” She has been an active Girl Scout since the fourth grade, and on camping trips, Angela does her share of the work to se¬ cure camp by helping to set up the tents. She is also active in the church youth group at Woolwine United Methodist Church. The 13 year old has found high school to be very enjoyable. Her favorite subject is English. “Sometimes it’s hard for me to fit in with the ‘IN’ crowd, and that doesn’t make me feel too good,” explains Angela. “There are also times when the students push me back behind them and go on, but I like the dances.” Until fifth grade, Angela had little choice in a number of areas except to be a spectator. Physical education was one of these areas; she had no choice except to watch the other students. Beginning in the fifth grade, she began to participate in some of the areas that had been ignored before, and now she does daily exercises in physical education class. “Now, I can get in on some of it,” she says. Angela plans to attend college after high school, and she someday hopes to run a clinic for parents of handicapped children. She also hopes to counsel the children, themselves. Angela’s advice to anyone who may be handicapped is: “Don’t put yourself down. Just because you can’t do some things, you can still do other things.” She adds, “I wish people would act like I’m just anybody else. I’m just one of the eighth graders.” Obstacles: Only Challenges To Be Met Angela Brammer finds few obstacles in her ev¬ eryday routines, and physical education class is no exception.

Although Preston’s favor¬ ite subject is Science, he really enjoys all of his classes. His teachers note that he is very cooperative and is always prepared for class. He is very punctual and always attentive. Preston studies hard and is diligent in his work. Besides academics, he also has a great interest in sports. He has received the Physical Fitness Award for the past four years. He especially en¬ joys swimming and jogging. He also likes hunting, fishing, building model cars, and playing video games. Preston has a spe¬ cial interest in all types of cars, not only model cars. Computers are also extremely fascinating to him. Preston has been living in Stuart for the past six years. He had previously lived in Roanoke, Virginia, before moving here. Although Stuart is a good ways from Roanoke, he and his parents go to visit his grandmother every other weekend. During Preston’s spare time, you could probably find him listening to his favorite music on Z93, or, since he is an active member of the Future Farmers of Amer¬ ica Club, you could find him involved with some of their activities. All in all, it seems that Preston Moore is a very well- rounded student. 88 Sub-Freshmen Linda McGroary, Science teacher, is entertained dents include Beverly Bullington, Ronnie Ferguson, by several students in her eighth grade class.

A full schedule of advanced classes proves his intelligence and the three instruments, piano, baritone, and trumpet, he plays proves the talent he has. Todd said he enjoys school at times, and the people, also, especially the UNC fans. The basketball team of UNC has won a place in Todd’s heart it seems forever. “UNC is going to be the NCAA champi¬ ons of 1984”, he stated. He lives in Patrick Springs with his father, mother, and brother. He enjoys gospel and country music. He hopes to go to a four year college to be an electrical technician but doesn’t know which one, yet. He is also a member of the Hi-Y club. Todd has been in a number of plays and musicals since the fourth grade. He has received a trophy for the most points in a piano recital and has also received two statues of famous pianists. Sub-Freshmen 91 Small and Quiet, But Active in School Should you see a small, quiet, but very cheerful eighth grade girl, there’s a good possibility that it could be Tamara Moles. Other than having a great personality, Tamara is also very intelligent and talent¬ ed. Her classes this year include English, Pre-Algebra, Home Economics, Science, Health Physical Education, and a study hall. Tamara stated that her favorite class is Science — the reason being she enjoys studying animals. Tamara really likes all of her classes, but she finds Pre-Algebra to be the hardest. Her main reason for taking the class, Home Economics, is that she has always enjoyed sewing and cooking and wanted to learn more about each. Although she likes cooking and sewing quite well, she does not like clean¬ ing up the house at all. Tamara is a member of the Future Homemakers of America Club. Tamara is also a homeroom representative. When she is not busy with her club or other school affairs she might be found listen¬ ing to her favorite music on her favorite radio station 104, WTQR. During the past thirteen years Tamara has lived in Martinsville, Floyd County, and Patrick County. Although she is not sure where she would like to live when she grows up, she said that she would like to go to college and major in the science field.

Sue Bleckley - Dedication, Understanding Special Education teacher, Sue Bleckley, escorts Chevonda Nowlin to the cafeteria. Her patience and concern for her students is clearly evident in every¬ thing she does. Standing in front of the classroom, James Hayes explains an Algebra problem on the board. Besides teaching math, Mr. Hayes coaches the Patrick County tennis team. Special education teachers are of a dis¬ tinct group. They need to have patience, dedication, understanding, and a special kind of concern for others. Miss Sue Bleckley seems to be a very good example of this. She teaches trainable mentally retarded students and her students stay with her all day long. They’re taught ev¬ eryday survival skills such as: how to use the telephone, where to get stamps, where to go for an emergency, and how to get around school. They now know their ad¬ dresses, sheriff, governor, representatives in congress. They learn how to cook and wash clothes, and they understand cur¬ rent events. Miss Bleckley commented, “They surprise me on what they know and can do. I learn more from them some¬ times.” Miss Bleckley was born in Washington D.C. and has lived in North Carolina, Georgia, and Northern Virginia. She worked at the Northern Virginia Train¬ ing Center in Falls Church, Virginia be¬ fore attending college. She helped to train mentally retarded students. Miss Bleck¬ ley thought she would never go back to this sort of work. Nevertheless, after en¬ tering college, this sort of major seemed the natural thing for her. She first attend¬ ed Wingate College, and then transferred to VCU. She majored in special education for the mentally retarded. Miss Bleckley enjoys reading, travel¬ ing, cross-stitch, watching TV, and help¬ ing the Girl’s Varsity Basketball Cheer¬ leaders. She likes to really get involved in the games. Of all the people Miss Bleckley has ever known, she believes that she most ad¬ mired her grandmother. “She was a type of person that I would like to be; honest, caring, and loving.” Faculty 95 One of John Halsey’s prized possessions is his 1939 Ford Sedan. This car, in addition to the ’39 Ford Coupe, is licensed as an antique car. Johnny Loves His Grown-Up Toys His boyish grin and quiet, relaxed com¬ posure make John Halsey a friend to all. The Social Studies teacher earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at East Carolina University and his Master’s degree at Radford. This is his sixteenth year of teaching; all, with the exception of his first two years, have been spent at the high school. Mr. Halsey has a number of interests and hobbies. He enjoys all spectator sports, he likes dogs, and he has a particu¬ lar affinity for cars. His interest in auto¬ mobiles began when he was in high school and he owned a 1948 Plymouth. He bought this car for $100 and proceeded to reupholster it and have it painted. In 1967, he sold the Plymouth and bought a 1940 Chevrolet, and in 1970, he also purchased a 1962 Corvette. He later sold both cars and used the money to build a garage. In 1974, Mr. Halsey bought a 1939 Ford Sedan which was completely stock (all original), and in 1976, he added to his Ford collection with the purchase of a 1939 Ford Coupe. He spends much of his time toying with both cars. The Ford Sedan has a 1957 Corvette engine, and Mr. Halsey has completely changed the running gear to a four-speed late model year end. “The components of the car are late model because of convenience of accessi¬ bility,” Halsey explains. “It’s really what you would call a Resto-Rod because it will look stock on the outside even though the inside isn’t,” he adds. Mr. Halsey has been a member of the Old Dominion Street Rod Association since 1973, and when he is not working on his Fords, he “piddles on VW’s.” Patricia Fain Math Dept. Laura Flippin English Dept.

Evelyn Hazelwood - Devoted To Teaching Evelyn Hazelwood puts a geometry problem on the board before explaining it. Mrs. Evelyn Hazelwood, a dedicated member of the PCHS math department, has devoted twenty years of her life to teaching. Fourteen of those years have been spent at the High School. Her teach¬ ing career started after she graduated from James Madison University. Her education there lasted four years and her major was, of course, math. This year Mrs. Hazelwood teaches ge¬ ometry, pre algebra, and consumer math. When it comes to a favorite subject for her to teach, there is a tie. “Some days its pre algebra and other days, its geometry. It’s determined by the topic being taught and the response of the class.” When asked what gets her aggravated in class or otherwise she replied simply, “disrespect for the rights of others.” Her reason for choosing to teach math was; as it was her favorite subject in high school, she thought she would enjoy it, and she does very much. Another field of work she once considered was a secretar¬ ial position, but after she tried typing she changed her mind. Mrs. Hazelwood says her favorite thing about teaching is knowing that she has a part in helping young people prepare for their future. When asked what she thought made a good teacher she replied, “a caring, sensitive person, who has a knowledge of the subject being taught and who has a desire to share that knowledge with others.” In addition to being a teacher, Mrs. Hazelwood is also head of the math de¬ partment. She attained this position by having more years of experience than the others in the department. Many respon¬ sibilities are involved in being the head of the math department. She provides the lines of communication between the teachers and the administration, places orders for the department, and coordi¬ nates activities for the department. Mrs. Hazelwood makes her home in Stuart, and she enjoys the area very much. When at home, she enjoys a vari¬ ety of activities. Although she has no fa¬ vorite television show, she has a favorite kind of music-country. Mrs. Hazelwood also likes to read and do needlework in her spare time.

She has spent 29 out of her 33 teaching years in Patrick County. Among the subjects she has taught are Physical Education, English, Physical Science, Chemistry, and Biology. She has taught grades eight through twelve. Although she enjoys teaching all grades, she favors teaching upperclassmen. “I enjoy the challenge that it (teaching) offers. I like students, they help keep me young. Stu¬ dents offer a lot with their sense of hu¬ mor.” In college, she majored in Biology. Her interest began in high school when she took Biology. She espeically enjoyed the outdoor studies about plants. She was also a lab assistnat to a professor in col¬ lege. Mrs. Moricle is currently teaching tenth grade advanced Biology and eighth grade Physical Science. She remarks, “Eighth graders have such inquiring minds that it i s a challenge to keep up with them.” Before the schools were consolidated, Mrs. Moricle felt that the students were friendlier. She says that now students have their own groups and gangs. They let other people influence them. Although she enjoys teaching, she does get frustrated at times — especially when disrespect is shown; not only to herself, but toward other students. Another thing that upsets her is when students com¬ plain instead of accepting the challenges of doing their assignments. Mrs. Moricle tries to present the mate¬ rial to her students in such a way as to challenge them. She says, “I like to try to teach in such a way that I learn with the students and they learn to reason through things. If I can challenge them by pre¬ senting the material, they in turn chal¬ lenge me.” She also states, “I try to teach in such a way that students learn to rea¬ son instead of just learning facts. Stu¬ dents need to realize that there is not an answer to everything.” Jo Moricle: Reason, Not Just Learn Facts Jo Moricle listens intently to a student’s ques¬ tions while the class works on a lab report.

Margaret Vernon Keeps Things Running Smoothly If you ever wonder how the high school runs so smoothly, we might have an an¬ swer — Margaret Vernon. Margaret Ver¬ non has been the secretary for six years at Patrick County High. She handles all the correspondence for Mr. Hiatt, Mr. Brim, and Mr. Dillon. Also, Mrs. Vernon deals with any questions or problems that stu¬ dents may have during the day. Mrs. Vernon had several jobs previous to this one. She was a secretary at Sales Knitting. She worked at Nationwide Horhes and also at Savings Loan of Danville. Although Mrs. Vernon’s only back¬ ground in business is her working experi¬ ence, she excels in her job — one reason being that she enjoys being around young people. Although Mrs. Vernon enjoys her job very much, it can be aggravating at times. Some discipline problems can make the day very unpleasant, and after a while, the pressure can build up. “Al¬ though,” she says “there are always stu¬ dents and teachers in the office who give the day and my work an uplift. They tend to make you forget about the aggrava¬ tions of the day.” Margaret Vernon lives in Patrick Springs and is married to Larry Vernon. They have one son, Ricky, who is eleven. She enjoys going to ballgames with her family and during her summer vacation, she enjoys a variety of activities. Some of these are canning and freezing, sewing, and cross-stitch. Also her family usually spends one week out of town. Margaret Vernon types student information into the computer in the front office. Faculty 103 _ _ Trying to make good use of his time, Jeryl Stowe Computers: An Important Part of Today’s Society Computers have become an important part of today’s soci¬ ety. The past few years have produced many displaced workers because of the com¬ puter age. Educators now see the need of looking ahead in helping students choose a vo¬ cation which they can build upon in later years. Patrick County High School has ex¬ tended its academic program by offering computer classes to students. The classes are presently being offered to ju¬ niors and seniors. Ms. Glenda Martin and Mr. Arnold Kloock instruct the computer courses. Ms. Martin teaches Typing I, Accounting, and Basic Computer Applica¬ tions. Mr. Kloock teaches Physics, Chemistry, and Com¬ puter Science. Twelve computers were purchased by the school. Six of those are Apple II comput¬ ers which are primarily used in math and science areas. The Apple II, containing 64 Steve Harbour and Clay Shelor run their programs while Computer Science teacher, Mr. Arnold Kloock, watches. thousand bits of memory, is especially useful for graphics. There are also six TRS-80 computers which are used chiefly in the field of business and business-related areas. Students enrolled in the computer classes learn about the history of the computer, its simple functions, and its operation. They also learn about programming the com¬ puter. Pam Collins, a junior taking Computer Applica¬ tions, commented, “It’s a fun class but you get tremendous headaches trying to “DE¬ BUG” programs.” Tests that are given in the computer classes are not very different from tests in other classes. There are specific problems about the computer itself. Also, the students are required to write a program from the chapter previously covered. With a limited number of computers, most students find it necessary to work outside of class in order to complete as¬ signments. Students may work with computers before and after school and during their study hall. The computer room is open from 8:00 AM until the activity buses leave in the afternoon. Students find that the class takes a lot of their time, but most feel that it is worth it. There are different opinions about the class, though. Jana Cassell, a senior, commented, “The class is difficult but once you get involved, it’s really en¬ joyable.” Tammy Thompson, a junior, had this to say, “I think it’s an easy class, and I guess that’s why it is my favor¬ ite class.” Ms. Martin and Mr. Kloock both feel that in the years to follow, they will be able to im¬ prove the class by the experi¬ ence they gain this year. They also feel that the course is defi¬ nitely beneficial to the stu¬ dents. David Ratliff and Scott Spencer, seniors in Computer Applications, summed their feelings by saying, “It’s good preparation for college be¬ cause of the advancing cur- riculums.” As for expansion, there are no definite plans. Mr. Kloock stated, “We will most likely be expanding — the direction as of yet is uncertain, but there is a definite need for increased knowledge of computer pro¬ gramming and operation.” The additional computers have definitely been a step in the right direction. Patrick Henry Community College is now offering a business pro¬ gram at the high school. This includes a certificate in gener¬ al business, bookkeeping and an Associate Degree in Busi¬ ness Management. This would have been impossible without the computers because Princi¬ ples of Data Processing is re¬ quired in each of these pro¬ grams. 106 Computers Glancing up from her work, Val¬ erie Harris expresses irritation. Teresa Dawson successfully pletes her assignment. Computers 107 Back To Basics In response to the Nationwide trend in Education, the Virginia Board of Educa¬ tion is placing stiffer requirements on public and private schools. Not only are more credits required, but more hours of instruction each day are required. All stu¬ dents are to have 5V2 hours of instruction each day, excluding the lunch-break. Ju¬ niors and Seniors will not be allowed to leave on work-release unless they work with the Co-op, Agribusiness, COE or Marketing programs. This new require¬ ment will have a considerable effect on extracurricular activities. A school sched¬ ule may provide less than 5V2 hours of instruction one day out of five but only if the time is made up in the other four. However, this is only for “instructional activities” only. When it comes to sports, strain will be put on the teams. “Team members may only be excused from class on an exception basis under extenuating circumstances but not as a routine prac¬ tice.” As far as the actual curriculum is con¬ cerned, there will be several changes. At the 9th grade level, a student will be re¬ quired to take two maths and two sci¬ ences. At the 11th and 12th grade levels, a student will be required to take an addi¬ tional math or science or a full Vocational Program. The following constitute a completed Vocational Program: Elec¬ tronics I, II; Auto Mechanics I, II; Cos¬ metology I, II, III; Building Trades I, II, III; and Agriculture I, II, III. Also several combinations of business courses can be substituted. Where a student is presently required to have 23 units for grades 8-12 or 18 for grades 9-12, the new required amount is 25 units for grades 8-12 or 20 for grades 9- 12 . Another change deals with diplomas. Two different types of seals will be award¬ ed on diplomas. The first is the Board of Education seal and the second is the Gov¬ ernor’s seal. The requirements for the Board of Education seal are as follows. A student must graduate with 20 units and maintain a “B” average or above. These courses are required in grades 9-12; 4 units of English, 2 units of math and 2 units of science plus the additional one in 11th or 12th grade level, 3 units of Social Studies, 2 units of Health P.E., and six electives. The requirements for the Gov¬ ernor’s seal are as follows: A student must graduate with 22 units with advanced courses and maintain a “B” average or above. These courses are required for grades 9-12: 4 units of English, 3 units of math (Algebra I, Algebra II, Trig, Geome¬ try), 3 units of science, 3 units of Social Studies, 3 units of Foreign Lauguage, 2 units of Health P.E., and four electives. There are some courses that are not required but are strongly recommended by the Board of Education. These are Computer Sciences, Economics, and Vo¬ cational courses. Although many changes are to take place, some things are still the same. Competencies will still be required for graduation and the school year will still consist of 180 days. There may be confusion and mixed feelings about these new standards but we must keep up. The key word is promi¬ nence. Mandy Hutchens, Amy Hopkins, and Tammy Bowman prepare pizza during Home Economics while Sharon Helms supervises. Mr. Tobler, Government teacher, gathers his materials before class begins. r 108 Back To Basics Laura Layman watches while Robin Rorrer runs her program in Computer Science class. Although computer classes will not be required, they are strongly recommended. Matt Blake, Gary Gunter, Randy Wyatt, and Steve Harbour are seen during baseball practice. Freshman Pam Hopkins doesn’t seem to be wor¬ ried about the new requirements. James Love, Vocational Director, is caught by surprise while entering his office. Back To Basics 109 College Day Answers Many Questions For Juniors and Seniors One of the most important decisions facing young people is whether or not to go to col¬ lege and if so, where. Each year College Day is held for Juniors and Seniors. Repre¬ sentatives from over eighty different colleges and insti¬ tutes visit Patrick County High School to help make this decision a little easier. They come prepared with catalogs, brochures, year¬ books, applications, and any other sort of information that is beneficial. The representatives started arriving at 8:30 in the morning and were escorted to the cafe¬ teria by a group of Seniors. These Seniors helped set up the displays and acted as guides for these ladies and gentlemen. The Juniors visited the cafeteria during first period and the Seniors came during second period. The Juniors were mainly browsing through and seeing what all the col¬ leges had to offer. On the con¬ trary, most Seniors had some idea of their prospective col¬ leges and thus, located them and spent their time getting as many facts and as much infor¬ mation as possible. Whether you were interest¬ ed in a four-year college or university, a two-year commu¬ nity college, a nursing school, or the military, there was defi¬ nitely something for everyone. Approximately sixty four-year colleges were represented and sixteen two-year colleges were there. Seven nursing schools were present while represen¬ tatives from the Air Force, the Army, the Navy, and the Ma¬ rines were on hand to talk to interested students. The col¬ leges and universities covered the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. College Day is considerd a very important and worth¬ while cause. This was evident when the students departed with stacks of catalogs, appli¬ cations, and brochures and the displays were left with a meager supply. In those two hours, a student is capable of gaining valuable information that can lay down the founda¬ tion of a successful future. 110 College Day Mike Plaster discusses information about Methodist Col¬ lege while Randy Lawless and Jeff Bowman browse through the College displays.

Learning leadership skills is not enough if you have hopes of improving your school or community. You need to be able to understand others around you. Also, it helps if you are able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and look at things from their point of view. Take time out to listen to those whom you represent. Listen to all your peers, not just your best friends. Consider all of their ideas before discarding them as use¬ less. Lastly, never be afraid to listen to someone else, even if there is no solution to the problem. A leader must develop and maintain a positive self-image. You are not born with it; it must be found within yourself. Strangely enough, by discovering and learning about others, we in turn, discov¬ er and learn about ourselves. All leaders have a responsibility to make a difference in our surroundings. You can start doing that by: speaking a kind word, smiling, paying a compliment, and being able to say “I’m sorry.” No mat¬ ter how or when, a kind word spoken or a compliment paid always helps. A harsh word or a putdown leaves scars that may remain for a lifetime. Being a leader presents a big challenge. Those who are willing to accept the chal¬ lenge and responsibility are taking a large step in the way of becoming a successful leader. One person can make a difference, but it requires commitment on your part. We feel that the student leaders at Pat¬ rick County High have developed some, or even all, of these qualities. It is evident when we see the communication between the students and the faculty and adminis¬ tration, and also among the students themselves. This is just another asset that displays our prominence. 112 Leadership ■JfU mm V ' Hfjj W m - - Wmm B •:S- TT , m SI- ' - ' H i ' ;a ' V- ' , ' ' v ICC Club: Front Row: Dianne Hall, Heather Hill, Hope Bennington, Daryl Tilley, Jana Cassell, Tammy Swiney, Denise Morris.

Leadership 113 Working His Way To The Top, And Making It Learning and working to¬ ward goals are a part of every¬ one’s life, but success at reach¬ ing those goals does not al¬ ways happen for some. Some people just give up and do not keep striving for their goals as they should. This is not the case for senior Tim Goad. Tim has been on the wres¬ tling team since the ninth grade and made it to District and Regionals everytime and even went to State competi¬ tion his senior year. Track is also another one of the sports favored by Tim and well-proven by his record. He again made it to District and Regional competition in this sport and even State a couple of times. Junior Olympics also held his name as a winner in many events at Regional, State, and National competi¬ tions. Wrestling and track were successful sports for Tim but not like football. Tim’s begin¬ ning for his high school foot¬ ball career came in the tenth grade. He won many events such as 1st team All-District Kicker, 1st team Offensive and Defensive Line (District), Piedmont Player of the Year, 1st team All-state Defensive Linebacker, a number of Hon¬ orable Mentions, and many, many more. All of his win¬ nings are in a list too long for printing but never too long to add some more. Winning so many of these events showed what it means to have the strength to go for, and most importantly, get what you really want. Having the certificates, medals, plaques, and trophies, as Tim Goad does, would have to make anyone prideful. Tim’s career in football will not end after his senior year at Patrick County High School though. Tim signed a contract to go on to UNC to continue his education and play foot¬ ball. Dale Evans, the UNC football coach, Gary Willis, his high school football coach, a number of reporters, and Tim’s parents stood over and around him as he signed for another goal in his life. This was a big step for him and hopefully will prove success¬ ful. Tim Goad reads over a contract to enter into UNC. Tim signs the contract as his proud parents and coach Willis anxiously await. ■ME 1 s M .’W V.M jj.wdB iVH fl T v ™ P!p . |j s; i ■ ■Pt t v • ■ .

It not only takes strength and ambi¬ tion to win a football game but also to get an education. Tim Goad 115 Prominence and Perseverance At the beginning of spring, applica¬ tions are submitted with the hope of be¬ coming a member of the Annual Staff. When the staff has been chosen, the new members are asked to stay after school several days one week to discuss their up¬ coming duties. During this time, every¬ one is assigned to their own responsibil¬ ities. At the end of the week, they are given the option of staying ... or leaving. This past year ten people were a part of the staff. Each year the staff is faced with many deadlines which must be met. As each one draws nearer, the staff hurries around try¬ ing to collect last minute information. Everyone is expected to lend a hand to the publisher, the staff lets out a relieving sigh. Then, the process of reorganization for the next year begins. Although the hectic business is gone, the work was greatly enjoyed by every staff member. As the days roll by for the return of the yearbooks, everyone waits with anticipa¬ tion. Finally, as we view the finished copy, we see that all our hard work and efforts were worthwhile. Archive Advisor, Beverly Dillard, slowly peeps into the next room to see what the staff is up to now. Typist, Linda Foley, prepares to turn the page in order to finish typing the copy. Feature Writer, Diane Puckett, appears to be upset with Photographer, Donald Blackard, after he stated that her pictures must have gotten mis¬ placed. 118 Annual Staff Archive Editor-in-Chief, Rhonda Hopkins, studies the ladder diagram on the wall before hand¬ ing out the assignments. Carefully focusing the camera in order to get a perfect shot is Angie Rakes, Photographer. Melba Tuggle, goes over some last minute correc¬ tions before submitting her story for the club sec¬ tion. Photographer, Martha Hall, glances through an old yearbook to get some ideas for more interesting pictures. Kim Wright selects the best pictures for the sports pages she is working on. Looking under “E” for everything in Dena Col¬ lins’ file is Diane Puckett, who seems to be unable to find anything. Business Manager, Dena Collins, sits on Rita Thompson’s lap after all else fails to remove her from the typing stool. Annual Staff 119 New Horizons Sets Goals, Cougar Review Staff Works Hard The New Horizons Club name was se¬ lected to represent the club’s goal for add¬ ing new dimensions to the lives of the Special Education student. This year the students started an arts and crafts club consisting of members enrolled in this special program. Such activities included basket weaving, potholder designs, and crosstitch pictures. The members then sell their crafts using the money for a Spring trip and for buying new supplies. The 1983-84 Cougar Review staff con¬ sisted of 17 members. Pat Kaye served as the advisor for this group. In order to be¬ come a member of the Cougar Review staff, a student must be in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and must have at least a “C” average in a regular or advanced English class. Although many think that Journalism is an easy class, it is very demanding. They published six issues this year, and it required a considerable amount of time and energy. There is information to gath¬ er, stories to write, and deadlines to meet. Staff members often had to use their study halls and after school time to work on the paper.

It pro¬ vides enjoyment for the students and acts as a way of getting people involved in the school’s activities. Monogram is a club for those students who have lettered in one or more varsity sports. To letter, the ath¬ lete must participate the entire season. The coach always has the final word on whether an athlete has worked hard enough to earn a letter or not. Once in Monogram, the athletes par¬ ticipate in numerous activities. A fund¬ raiser is held and some of the money from this goes towards the Special Olympics that is held in the spring every year. Monogram club members have helped with this for the past three years. The Special Olympics is designed for the handicapped people in the area. It has proven to be a very worthwhile event and the club plans to continue with it. Monogram sponsors: Coach Gerald Culler, Coach Cindy Terry, and Coach David Clement. Coach Cindy Terry informs students of the priorities of the Mono¬ gram club.

FFA 135 DECA and VICA Develop Leadership The VICA club consists of four sec¬ tions of vocational classes. They are Building Trades, Cosmetology, Auto Me¬ chanics, and Electronics. The purpose of VICA, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, is to develop leadership abilities through participation in educational, vo¬ cational, civic, recreational, and social ac¬ tivities. The club also assists students in establishing realistic vocational goals, and promotes high standards in trade, ethics, workmanship, and safety. This year Marc Wolitz placed first in the VICA District III electronics skill competition. He advanced to state competition where he placed third. VICA Electronics mem¬ bers toured local electronics industries and visited Danville Community College. The clubs members also prepared an edu¬ cational exhibit for the 1983 Patrick County Fair. The DECA or Distributive Education Club of America develops economic liter¬ acy, vocational competency, leadership ability, and civic consciousness in their members. Enrollment into this club is ob¬ tained by having taken Distributive Edu¬ cation classes. The clubs membership is divided into two divisions, associate and full membership. Students in DE I are designated as associate members, and students in DE II as full members. Asso¬ ciate members do not enjoy all the privi¬ leges that full members do.

The Library Club was initiated to get students better acquainted with the Library for their studies. This year the Library Club took trips to the Blue Ridge Regional Li¬ brary in Stuart, Virginia, and the Plan¬ etarium in Chatham. The chorus is composed of members from the ninth through the twelfth grades. Beginning chorus is composed of mainly eighth and ninth grade students. A variety of styles of choral compositions are studied. Emphasis is placed on ac¬ ceptable tone quality, music reading and interpretation, critical listening, and dic¬ tion. The chorus performs during assem¬ blies and hold public concerts. Through¬ out the Christmas season, the chorus pre¬ sented the Christmas assembly, a public concert, and an ensemble of carolers sang at the Reynold’s Homestead during the Victorian Christmas celebration. The chorus also appeared with the band in the annual spring concert.

A representa¬ tive was sent from the Health Careers Council of Virginia to the high school to share health care professions with the club. Additional activities throughout the year include training to be a member of the Rescue Squad, and CPR demonstra¬ tions, with other reports on health ca¬ re ers. The Science Club was designed to help give students a better understanding of Science and how it is used in daily living. All students interested in Science are eli¬ gible to join the club. The Science club provided all the science classes with Scholastic Science World. The club pur¬ chased a one year subscription. The club enjoyed a trip to the Asheboro Zoo in April.

Health Careers 141 ■ i SCA and ICC Develop Leadership While sitting in Algebra II Trig class, Tracy Tur¬ man turns around as if to ask “What’s going on?” Each year the student body elects six people to represent and govern the stu¬ dent body. These six make up the Student Council Association. Then each home¬ room chooses a representative to speak and report for them. The officers, along with homeroom representatives, are tak¬ ing on a lot of responsibilities when they accept these positions. There are many purposes of the SCA office. One, for example, is to improve communication among the students. The SCA also schedules club days. They hope that by getting everyone interested in a club, they will broaden their interests. Organizing assemblies is also an impor¬ tant function of the Student Council As¬ sociation. The SCA feels that by taking steps to¬ day to better our world, it will bring about changes for tomorrow. The Student Council Association co¬ ordinates the work of all other organiza¬ tions in the school. The Inter Club Coun¬ cil (ICC) is a branch of the SCA. The ICC consists of all the club presidents, the ICC sponsor, the President and Vice President of the SCA. Its purpose is to organize all the clubs at PCHS, and bring them together in a state of harmony. The Vice President of the SCA serves as the coordinator for the ICC. The SCA Presi¬ dent acts as an exofficio member. SCA members: Front Row: Cheryl Anderson (secre tary), Heather Inman (Historian), and Tracy Cox (Reporter).

The purpose of the Patrick County Marching Cougar Band is to promote school spirit, assist in the football pro¬ gram by performing during half-time, and to support the completed musical expo¬ sure needed in the school. The band pro¬ gram is a constant teaching device to de¬ velop self-discipline, pride, marching fundamentals, values for future endeav¬ ors in life, and control of mind and body. A lot goes into the performing of an eight minute competition. The band starts in June or July with rehearsals once a week to teach and memorize the music for the performance. In August, they rehearse each night to put all the music together and begin the basic marching essentials. During band camp in August, the march¬ ing routine is put with the music. After returning from band camp, the band members usually stay from one to three times a week polishing up on the routine. The average rehearsal time at camp is ten hours per day. The after school hours average two and a half a day. The band was a contender in two competitions this year. They were at the Ferrum College Marching Invitational and the Wake For¬ est University Marching Festival. In ad¬ dition to these competitions, the Cougar Marching Band participated in three Christmas parades. They were the Mt. Airy, Stuart, and Rocky Mt. Christmas Parades. The band placed second in this.

The Patrick County Majorettes, along with the Flag Corps, assist the Patrick County Marching Cougar Band. Using their skills in marching and the grace of baton performances, they contribute much to the success of the band. The Ma¬ jorettes and Flag Corps members finance competition trips for the band, and pay for all expenses including travel, when school vehicles are involved. In addition to these duties, they are always support¬ ing other community projects and are sustaining each member in the total band program both morally and spiritually. One major asset of the 1983-84 Flag Corp was its size. The group grew from seven members in the previous year to a total of 17 members. Sponsor and direc¬ tor, Mark Donnell, was extremeley pleased with the overall performance of this group. The Flag Corps had two out¬ standing leaders; Judy Adams, a Sopho¬ more, and Renee Montgomery, a Junior. Another important member was Kim Boyd. She was responsible for all the uni¬ forms and flags. The Flag Corps had two money-mak¬ ing projects this year. The group, along with the Cougar Marching Band, held their annual cheese sales. In addition to this, they sold tupperware. With the money from these fundraisers, the Flag Corps bought new flagpoles, new flags, and new uniforms. In the Spring, a performance was held for the seventh graders from the elemen¬ tary schools and for the RE. classes here at the high school.

Varsity Football: Defeated In Scores; Not Pride Despite a winless season in 1983, the Patrick County football team never gave up. The team was very young. It contain¬ ed only four seniors. Players who improved a great deal were: Mike Rorrer, quarterback; Tony Owens, defensive end and full back; Nate Hand, defensive end; Tony Shephard, nose guard; and Andy Williams, defensive secondary. The other players that did re¬ markably well were John Keesee, Bobby Johnson, and of course Tim Goad. Coach Gary Willis commented, “I was really impressed with the effort. We never gave up.” He also said that he considered the year a success for number of partici¬ pants and improvement on fundamen¬ tals, although it didn’t show up as a suc¬ cess on the team record.

They began practicing and condi¬ tioning the same time varsity did and be¬ gan their season a week before varsity. A lot of the boys were not aware of the sum¬ mer practices; and therefore, missed practice until school started. “It hurts when the boys don’t come out early enough”, commented Coach Mike Coo¬ per, “I think that’s one of the weakest things about JV.” The summer practices consist of running and learning basic skills. Players that did an outstanding job were Andy Shelton, line backer; Mike Lu- caddoo, full back, and running back; Dwayne Cassell, line backer; and Antho¬ ny Burkart, safety. Most of the players are expected to re¬ turn for a successful season next year.

These young ladies won the district championship and were runner-up in the Region 3 Championship. This is the fur¬ thest any girls’ basketball team has ever gone. Coach Cindy Terry tried to express her feelings but finally said, “I really can’t find words to describe the feelings.” The team was young and had a slow start, but they kept working and striving for suc¬ cess. Practice began at 3:10 every afternoon. The Lady Cougars did stretching on their own, followed by twenty laps around the gymnasium. Before the actual games started, the players worked hard on weights to build muscles, then they began spending more time on fundamentals. The Cougarettes played tough teams in the beginning which helped to give them the experience they needed in order to advance. Every team member was guar¬ anteed the chance to play by Coach Cindy Terry. “I hate to lose, but I feel like there’s a little more involved,” commented Coach Terry. This rule helped to build the experience of each player, so when the championship games came, she could feel confident about letting any of her players play. Unity was a real key to the ladies’ suc¬ cess. They stuck to one motto! “United we stand; divided we fall.” While part of the team was playing, the rest cheered them on. They always supported each other — like a “Happy Family”. Coach Terry said, “This was a very enjoyable group of young ladies to work with. It makes it that much more enjoyable when everybody gets along with everybody else.” Wendy Smith stops and quickly looks for help.

When they finished their season, they had won over half of their games. This is usually not expected of a young team. The team con¬ tained nine eighth graders and a new coach — Sandra Tobler. She commented, “This was the first year that I’ve had bas¬ ketball. It was a beginning for the girls. I learned a lot not only from my mistakes and my games, but also from Coach Ter¬ ry.” Coach Cindy Terry was the assistant coach for the JV team and head coach for the varsity team. Practice for the JV Cougarettes began August 10, 1983. It consisted of running drills, lifting weights, jumping rope, ball handling skills, shooting skills, and time drills. Coach Tobler said that she could see big improvements as the season went on. “Because we had such a young team, our record was better than we anticipat¬ ed.” The season for the JV team ended on November 4,1983; but they continued to support the Varsity Lady Cougars in Dis¬ trict and Regional competitions.

Cougars Lack Experience But Play Hard Inexperience was definitely a factor which had some control over the record of the varsity basketball team. David Dun¬ can was the only returning starter for the 1983-84 season. The new starters were Mark Dawson, Mark Owens, Kevin Wil¬ lis, and Roger Wood. All the starters were seniors, but six players will be returning for the 1984-85 season. The leading scor¬ er for the season was senior Mark Owens, leading rebounder was senior Mark Daw¬ son. Outstanding young players were Bryan Hutchens, offense; Chris Thomas, scorer; and Cliff Boyd, starter and re¬ bounder. 158 Varsity Basketball David Duncan looks to Roger Wood for help.

Varsity Basketball 159 Young Teams Strive To Be The Best! “Even though our record does not indi¬ cate how hard we worked,” commented Coach Gerald Culler, “we accomplished a lot of things that will be helpful to them on the varsity level.” Preseason practice consisted of conditioning exercises and weight lifting. After the season began the team started working on skills and funda¬ mentals. Leading rebounders for the team were David Baum, Tracy Turman, and Johnny Plasters. High scorers were David Baum, and Mike Hiatt. The ninth grade team acquired a new Coach: Ken Wilson, for the 1983-84 sea¬ son. He commented, “The biggest disad¬ vantage that our team had this season was the fact that they had a very inexpe¬ rienced coach. Although I did try to moti¬ vate my players, they have not yet learned the meaning of sacrifice, loyalty, and team work.” Most of the players were enthusiastic and wanted to play, but some of the main players began skipping too many practices. The team was only able to have practice twice a week, when the varsity team had games, so everyone was really needed to show up for every prac¬ tice they had available. The record for the team was 1-9. Sixteen eighth graders contributed to the eighth-grade basketball season of 1983-84. Every player was played in each game. This helped to give them some of the experience needed to become out¬ standing basketball players in the future. Coach Mitchell commented, “The major¬ ity of the team has the potential to turn the PCHS program back into a winning one.” The strengths were man-to-man defense and good team work. The top six players were Jimmy Coch- ram, Darrell France, Freddy Lee, Robin Penn, Terry Harris, and Richie Gilliam. All of the players have outstanding offen¬ sive skills and “can play excellent defense at times, said Coach Mitchell. He also added that Jimmy Cochram, Freddy Lee, and Darrell France were the leading re¬ bounders for the team.

Varsity Cheerleaders Attend Camp At Radford Each spring varsity cheerleaders are chosen for the upcoming year. Practice begins immediately, and continues through the summer. The cheerleaders are divided into three separate squads: girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball, and football. During the summer of 1983, nine of the cheerleaders from the different squads at¬ tended camp at Radford University. They were: Tammy Cox, Jennie Duncan, Lura Fulcher, Jessica Griffith, Jackie Joyce, Kelly LaForce, Tammy Thompson, Ka¬ ren Ward, and Kimberly Wright. They re¬ ceived awards for super spirit, formation, excellence, improvement, and eating the most popsicles. JV Cheerleaders are chosen in the fall.

There were a lot of people to go out for the team this year, but they didn’t have any seniors so every one is expected to come back next year. The team also had new coaches: Head Coach Robin Amos and Assistant Coach Donna Fulcher. Both of these have had experi¬ ence in gymnastics in the past, and were a considerable help to the team this year. 164 Gymnastics Dena McHone poses with perfect balance on the beam during competition.

They were: Terry Hill, Andy Shelton, John Keesee, Jeff Bow¬ man, Andy Williams, Mike Martin, Ricky Pack, Jerry Frankum, Tony Owens, Ronnie Knight, Tony Sheppard, and Tim Goad. These wrestlers were cho¬ sen at the district meet. The top four wrestlers in each weight division attend the Regional Meet. Coach Gary Willis commented that this was the best wres¬ tling team Patrick County has ever assembled. The team was very young and will only be losing three seniors: John Keesee, Jeff Bowman, and Tim Goad. Most of the rest of the wrestlers should be back next season. The only drawback for the team was probably having so many new members, but they gradually improved. “Pm really pleased with the way the team pro¬ gressed,” said Coach Willis, “the hard work really payed off.” Tony Owens meets his opponent face to face. 166 Wrestling Front Row: Jason Keesee, Tal Swails, Robbie Mitchell, Chad Hooker, Kevin Collins, James Worley, Tim Britt, Marty Snow.

Wrestling 167 Golf Team Wins Two, Loses Two In Regular Season Golf is a sport which doesn’t seem to get recognized to the fullest extent during the season. Just the same, each player pushes his skills to the limit every day in hopes of becoming a better golfer. Since the high school does not have a golf course, the team has to travel to Trent Golf Course located in Critz, Virginia. All of the team members had rides home oth¬ er than the activity bus, so they were usu¬ ally required to practice either until 6:30 p.m. or until it got too dark to see any¬ more. The Cougars ranked in the middle as far as wins and losses during their regular season. They played four different teams, and were beaten by two yet beat the other two. Darren Diggs, a senior on the golf team, commented, “We beat everybody we should have. Two of the teams were good, and two were bad.” Mike Hiatt swings his club with great power for that first shot.

Each member is expected to stay after school every day to run, lift weights, stretch, and sometimes do re¬ search on new tennis strategy. It is obvi¬ ous that all this hard work pays off. In the 1983 regular season, the team had an eight win, three loss record. “We were a fairly young team,” commented Coach James Hayes. “We had two freshmen in the top six. Joey Lindsey was one of the top players in the district. Bradley Keith and Charles Collins were the players that the rest of the team looked up to and de¬ pended on. David Hill improved more and more as the year went on and is ex¬ pected to do well in 1984.” The team is hoping to go to the region¬ al in 1984. Coach Hayes said, “The dis¬ trict is getting better as a whole, so we’ll have to improve to keep up.” PC 2 Madison Mayodan 7 PC 1 Eden-Morehead 8 PC 8 Carver 1 PC 6 EM 2 PC 5 EM 4 PC 0 EM 9 PC 7 Carver 1 PC 8 FC 1 PC 6 Basset 3 PC 7 LP 2 PC 7 Tunstall 2 PC 1 Martinsville Tournament 8 PM 7 Bassett 2 PC 0 Martinsville 6 1 [ ' ;t 1 { g L .v : X : Tracy Layman prepares to hit the tennis ball in a doubles match with Joey Lindsey. 170 Tennis Front Row: Keith Gunter, Tracy Layman, Perry Hughes, and Susan Bowling.

They missed being the regional-three champi¬ ons by only two runs, and were the dis¬ trict champions for the second time. There were more girls to go out for the team the second year, but there was also more competition in district. Coach Cin¬ dy Terry stated that she was undecided about coaching in 1984. If she does, she said, “The competition will be tough and so will we . .. when the going gets tough, the tough get going. It will take 100% from the whole team. If one lets up, the whole team is affected.” Glenda Carter stretches with all her might to catch the ball.

They placed second in dis¬ trict and earned a birth in regionals. This made the third year they had achieved this. Coach Tobler commented, “The players are basically poor hitters and slow on bases, but won on good pitching, good defense, and timely hitting”. Weather hampered the whole season-practice and games. It hindered the development of a young team. “The boys worked hard and I think they learned a lot,” commented Coach Tobler. The top hitter was Brian Hutchens with twenty three hits and twenty runs scored. David Ratliff had the top RBI (runs batted in), which was eighteen. Bobby Martin had seven doubles; and Dean Mabe, three homers. Dean also had a 6-3 pitching record with 99 strike outs and 3 three saves. James Nowlin had a 7- 1 pitching record. The Cougar team will have all its play¬ ers returning for the 1984 season except for two seniors. The goal is to go to state. Coach Tobler said, “I think we can do that if the boys work harder and get a little more serious.” Front Row: Caryl Dodson, Bryan Hutchens, Mark Williams, Terry Martin, Darren Diggs, Bradley Powell, and Randy Hunt.

Junior Varsity Baseball: A New Addition to Spring Sports Spring of 1983 was the first year of JV baseball at Patrick County High School. According to Coach Gerald Culler the team worked well together, and never gave up till the very last. “I feel like we’ll improve next year,” he commented. “With this experience, we can work a lit¬ tle more on fundamentals which will help.” They’re only expecting to lose a few players to varsity in 1984. Having so many old players come back will work as an advantage to the JV team. Top hitters were Mike Rorrer (371), and Brad Dalton (348). Leading pitchers were Andy Moss, Chris Bowman, Cliff Boyd, and Mike Rorrer. Although the team was young and limited to practicing facilities, they ended their first year with pride. Andy Moss stretches out to stop the ball at one of the many games played at Rotary field. Mike Rorrer pitches the ball across the PC field in hopes of a strike. 176 J.V.

Baseball 177 Track Participants Decrease In Number Weather seems to always be a major problem with outdoor sports. This was especially true with the 1983 girls’ and boys’ track teams. The teams were sched¬ uled for seven regular season meets, but were only able to attend three because of bad weather. Another problem that the teams had to face was the limited number of participants. Coach Beverly Dillard stated “There are a lot more talented ath¬ letes in Patrick County High School than are showing up for any sport.” Evelene Hatcher, a hopeful 1984 Olym¬ pic competitor, helped coach the girls’ track team. She helped with the boys as well as the girls. “The athletes were able to grasp concepts that they had not been able to get before,” commented Coach Dillard. There were several female par¬ ticipants in 1983 who had the potential to follow Evelene’s footsteps. These were Jackie Johnson, sprinter; Angular Now¬ lin and Sonya Clark, running events. Denise Penn could be an asset in the shot putt. Ruthie Graham was known for giv¬ ing everything she had in hurdles. The boys’ track team had nine people to go to district. One advanced to region¬ al. This was Tim Goad. Tim had been the runner-up in regionals for two years. Finally, in 1983, he was the regional champ. He went on to state and placed fourth. Tim filed with the TAC Athletics Congress, and attended an association meet. Tim placed within the top 4, so he advanced to the regional meet. From there he went to the national Junior Olympics, where he placed 3rd. Coach Nelson McConnell was disap¬ pointed that more students didn’t come out for boys’ track. He did mention two eighth graders that may have scored for the team if they could have competed on the varsity level. These were Tim Hatch¬ er and Ricky Pack. Although, the team is small in number, both coaches hope the 1984 season ex- cedes all the rest.

This is the second time Coach Terry has received this award and is the only female at Pat¬ rick County High School to receive it. Of all the sports she has coached, Coach Terry enjoys coaching basketball the most. She said, “It’s just something I always enjoyed playing and coaching.” She played basketball in college, coached the JV team and at Radford as a student teacher, coached the Varsity team at Christiansburg, and has been coaching at Patrick County since 1975. She com¬ mented that she felt very honored at re¬ ceiving this award. Backed by the softball team, Coach Cindy Terry accepts her trophy with tear-filled eyes.

Prominence Abounds Each and Every Day Important? It was. Memorable? Always. Prominent? It remains a matter of interpretation and perspective as to whether or not a whole year or even simply small steps of growth in character are prominent events. Each year brings ups and downs, suc¬ cesses and failures, loves and loves lost, wins and losses. It is important, however, to maintain some objective perspective when weighing the gravity of any situa¬ tion or the effects of any situation on the growth process. A tremendous let-down, loss, or failure may have the most significant impact on something positive for the future, just as a small success or a phenomenal win can have the same impact. One day at a time is how we progress — each one, special; each one, important; each one, prominent in the course of a lifetime. Perspective and interpretation deter¬ mine prominence, and every event, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is important.

Our list grows year after year, as we involve more and more people in our pro¬ duction process, yet, we have no regrets. This book belongs, not to the staff, but to the student body, the school, the faculty, and the community. We are pleased that the limits of this production are not confined to the staff room, and we are thankful to all those whose contributions helped us through the process: Nellie Blackard, for the hun¬ dreds of photographs that helped fill the designated spaces, and for our staff por¬ trait; Brenda Martin, for her patience, understanding, time, and generous ad- 208 Closing
