It brings family and friends together. It expresses love, joy, ex¬ citement, and often helps to share our deepest thoughts and feelings with someone spe¬ cial. It’s a universal language that can reach out and touch someone even better than AT T, and can allow people to communicate without as much as a word. The musical events of the year proved this in the combined efforts of “Farm Aid and “Live Aid.” Certain songs can be used to calm down an angry person, to psyche up a tense sports per¬ son before an important ball- game, to help us sleep at night, or simply to let us reminsce about the good time we’ve had. No matter how you look at it, music is an important part of any teenager’s life. Music can make a statement about you as an individual. Whether you prefer heavy met¬ al, rock, soul, or country, your choice of music says something about you. Whether you think it’s Hip to Be Square” or you want someone to Walk This way , your music reflects your style. Years from now, when we pull out our albums, the songs will remind us of our high school days. Music just has a way of associating itself with one certain memory, so for us, the albums will be a collection of memories. These albums, technically old with time, but magically new with each play¬ ing and that serve as reminders to the past, are our Songs In The Attic. Hackysack is a fad that swept the nation. During lunch, Rodney Fanning and Kenneth Belcher take off their Blue Suede Shoes and put on their tennis shoes to nlav a eame of hackysack PCHS football has grown to be a game of rough justice. Because of the excitement and violence involved, many fans look forward to coming out and supporting the Cougars. Have we got spirit? You bet! Just one example of the Cougar good sports¬ manship was the Regional Cheerlead¬ ing Competition. Cheerleaders from all schools united in the center of the gym to cheer together. 2 Opening Is it feeding time at the zoo? No! The students who drive to school have just been released to their cars, and to tell the truth, There ' s no easy way out! As Jean Castillo seems to be listen¬ ing to the sounds of silence, Pam Hopkins and Tim Britt discuss y in Calculus. This was a typical activity for students who had too much time on their hands. Opening 3 STUDENT LIFE 4 Student Life Divider Pep rallies are events that give students a chance to spell out their class names, cheer, and go literally wild. These students express enthusiasm as they tell the world they are seniors! Because of a recent Virginia state law, the use of tobacco is prohibited by persons under the age of 16. Patrick County High School enforces this law by refusing to allow anyone besides juniors or seniors in the smoking area. On back-to-school night, Graham Witt and Amy Hopkins look over the school map to ensure that they can lead parents to the correct rooms. See the curtains hangin’ from the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light-a-shinin ' through the window Lets me know everything ' s all right Summer Breeze makes me feel fine Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind See the paper blowin’ on the sidewalk A little music from the house next door So I walk on up to the doorstep Through the screen and across the floor Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom July is dressed up and playing her tune When I come home from a hard day’s work And you’re waiting there Not a care in the world.

HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE WINTER WONDER A severe winter storm hit the east coast on January 21, dumping over 18 inches of snow in all parts of the county, leaving practically everybody snowed in and closing the County schools for over a week. A few days later, just as the sun began to poke through the clouds, a second storm brought over 8 more inches of the white stuff.” The below-freezing tempera¬ tures were definitely a contrast from the heat wave that hit the county only a few months be¬ fore in September.

TOP GUN DRAWS FIRE The Reagan Administration was thrown into its first big tur¬ moil over the indiscretion about the Iranian arms sale. It was found that there were efforts to exchange arms for hostages, and the money was channeled through Swiss banks to aid the Nicaragua freedom fighters. Di¬ rected from the White House basement, members of the Reagan staff shipped arms to Iran in the same freewheeling style they used in their dealings with the Nicaraguan contras. Only a handful of need-to-know officials in the entire adminis¬ tration learned the full story. America ' s military leadership and its civilian experts on Iran were left in the dark. The Presi¬ dent’s operatives sent $50 mil¬ lion to $100 million worth of weapons to Iran. They used the CIA to get around normal legal restrictions on arms exports, and they went to extraordinary lengths to keep the Joint Chiefs of Staff out of the picture. Much of the attention is focused on Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, the National Security Council staff member who handles many of the President’s most sensitive jobs and was the pro¬ ject manager on the weapons deal. In Reagon’s State of the Union Address, he said that he accepted full responsibility for what happened. No arrests have been made but Oliver North resigned and John Poin¬ dexter was fired. This was still under investigation as it made headlines in 1986. AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE Every year a prestigious honor is bestowed upon a de¬ serving individual. This honor is Distinguished Patrick Coun- tian. Mrs. Geraldine Hagwood House holds that title. Mrs. House received her Master ' s degree in Counselor Education from Southern Illinois Univer¬ sity, and is now earning her Doctorate in Educati on Admin¬ istration from the University of North Carolina. Mrs. House graduated from Patrick Central High School as valedictorian of her class. After¬ wards, she attended A T Uni¬ versity where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Other honors that Mrs. Geraldine Hagwood House has received includes Outstanding Woman of America, Outstand¬ ing Educator of the Year, and Citizen of the Year. Also, she received the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award for Excellence in Education. At present, she serves as Membership Chairperson for the North Carolina Association of School Administrators. She is also currently on the Board of Directors for the Southeastern Education Improvement Labo¬ ratory. On top of all of this, she is also a wife and a mother. AIRCRAFT VOYAGER COMPLETES NON-STOP FLIGHT Another first in aviation his¬ tory! Pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager became the first pilot s to ever fly non-stop around the world in their air¬ craft Voyager. The airplane was designed by Dick’s brother Burt, and has been described as a flying fuel tank because of its great fuel supply. The entire mission was almost aborted on take-off when the wing tips, weighted down with fuel, were scraped on the runway, and had to be shaken off in the air. However, the plane did manage to con¬ tinue its flight. The pilots flew the entire mis¬ sion in shifts, taking turns rest¬ ing and flying in the plane’s cockpit, which has been com¬ pared in size to a bathtub. The passenger was compelled to lay alongside the pilot who sat half upright. On Tuesday, December 23, 1986, after nine days in the air, and after traveling about 25,012 miles, pilot Dick Rutan landed the Voyager at Edwards Air Force Base to succes sfully complete his mission. On Mon¬ day December 29, President Ronald Reagan greeted the Voyager Crew and Burt Rutan in Los Angeles to present all three with citizen’s medals. “No matter what age you are or what endeavor you’re in, life is an opportunity and it ' s only limited by what you want to do, and what you can achieve is only limited by what you can dream,” said Dick Rutan, and that seemed to be an opinion shared by many of the people involved with the Voyager’s flight. Mrs. Geraldine Hagwood House smiles proudly as she displays her plaque that she receives for Distin¬ guished Patrick Countian to her son and young daughter. Have you ever noticed that when you point a finger, three fingers are pointing back at you? Mini-Mag 7 HEARD IT. QUESTIONING ANSWERS With well over 2000 hours of work, the staff and administra¬ tion underwent a self-study as one part of a complete evalua¬ tion of the school as recom¬ mended by the National Study of School Evaluation. The self evaluation usually requires a minimum of one year with the second step requiring an evalu¬ ation by a visiting committee. The total process developed by the National Study of School Evaluation is a means for rec¬ ognizing that schools which have obvious differences may be equally sound educationally. Schools are evaluated by their philosophy and objectives and the extent to which they are meeting these objectives. School personnel, adminis¬ tration, governing boards, par¬ ents, and students were all in¬ volved in the self-evaluation and no segment of the study was used alone; rather, all sec¬ tions were correlated to form a comprehensive instrument to initiate needed changes or im¬ provements. Mrs. Margaret Vernon takes notes as Principal James K. Hiatt dictates a letter. WHITE LIE COMPROMISES Sometimes you don’t want to tell a monstrous lie. You don’t want to get caught in a trap ei¬ ther, so you compromise and tell the legendary ‘‘white lie”. We have composed just a few of these ridiculous excuses. Sorry I’m late but . . . 1. We lost track of time. 2. We had a flat tire. 3. I didn’t want to be the first to leave. 4. I had to sober up. You wouldn’t want me to drive drunk would you? 5.

Uh? Tomorrow? I have to dry it. 3. Me? ... go out with you? 4. I could get a rash from your pocket protector. 5. Because everyone has dif¬ ferent taste, you have none! 6. I prefer to date people of the opposite sex. SOUNDSHEETS Songs in the Attic II, included with the yearbook, was pro¬ duced by Eva-Tone Incorporat¬ ed, Clearwater, Florida. The soundsheet was manufactured from a master tape which was recorded and edited by the Ar¬ chive Staff. WHAT EVER HAPPENEDTO... From time to time everyone wonders what happened to a certain person or thing. During snow days with little else to do but ponder important issues, a list of topics fuels fires of won¬ derment. What ever happened to: hula hoops, silly putty, Petticoat Junction, Captain Kangaroo, hop scotch, bell bottom pants or the Flower Children of the Sixties? What ever happened to: Imelda Marco’s shoes, Sky King and Penny, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Munsters, and Hopalong Cassady? What ever happened to: inex¬ pensive T-shirts, Tinker Toys, Howdy Dowdy, The Lone Rang¬ er, and Mr. Ed? What ever happened to: Tom Terrific and his dog, Mighty Manfred? What ever happened to: Jan and Dean, Bill Haley and the Comets, Chubby Checker, Paul Reviere and the Raiders, and Superman? The list goes on. During times of boredom, a wonder list could save sanity. VICTORY FOR STARS AND STRIPES The United States recap¬ tured the America’s Cup after losing it to Australia in 1983. “The Stars and Stripes team defeated the “Aussies” by 4 Consecutive victories in the best of seven. The U.S. com¬ mented on how the victory was a great moment for them. With that, Australia vowed to see them in the next America’s Cup competition to be held in 1991.

COUGAR DEN: EXCLUSIVE “HANG-OUT” After the closing of Tex’s, stu¬ dents had nowhere to hang out . . . then came Cougar Den! The Cougar Den is a small place, modeled after a night club, that is only for PCHS stu¬ dents and their guests. While there, students can sit around and talk, eat, watch TV, play video games, or listen to music played by DJ, Benny Puckett. There is a variety of music rang¬ ing from Run DMC to Motley Crue, so everybody is bound to hear something they like while they are there. The Cougar Den also had the local rock group, ALEAX, play there on the grand opening in January. As every¬ one will probably agree, the Cougar Den is a convenient place to just hang out and so¬ cialize. DON’T YOU WISH . . . 1. The guy beside you did 2. You lived in Beverly Hills 3.

The Cougar Den, on Main Street, provides a hangout for many teenagers; a place where they can sit back and relax. Movies to Remember Karate Kid II Top Gun Stand By Me About Last Night Friday the 13th, Part IV Cobra Rocky IV American Tail Poltergeist II Psycho III Nightmare on Elm Street II Raw Deal Star Trek IV Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Wisdom Nothing In Common Platoon Crocodile Dundee As for Quicksilver, it was gone in a flash. Wildcats was nothing to cheer about, and Heartburn was just that. Both Iron Eagle and Legal Eagles were shot down early in the season. Howard the Duck nev¬ er got off the ground. Laby¬ rinth remained a puzzle even after viewers saw it. And American Anthem drew no pa¬ triotic response. The movie Legend won’t be one, and Once Bitten took a serious bite. These hits and misses, of 1986 were the ones that we remembered the most and with good reason! WATCH OUT! Television gives us the chance to kick back and relax. Family shows, sit-coms, and soaps dominated the T.V. scene in 1986-1987. Here are a few: Moonlighting Hill Street Blues The Golden Girls Dynasty Dallas Crime Story Cosby Show Family Ties Remington Steele Night Court Cheers Facts of Life Kate and Allie Miami Vice ALF Hunter Amazing Stories MacGyver People’s Court Divorce Court The Judge Oprah Winfrey Show Newhart Santa Barbara Young and the Restless Guiding Light 10 Mini-Mag HEARD IT. . . SELF WORTH Water, proteins, fats, acids, chemicals, minerals, and a number of other items make up the human body. What ' s it all worth? At prices today, monetary worth is difficult to deter¬ mine, but in terms of utiliza¬ tion, the chemical contents of the human body could provide the following: — enough chlorine to sanitize five swimming pools — enough oxygen to fill a large closet — enough salt to season 25 chickens — 10 gallons of water — five pounds of lime — enough magnesium for ten flash pictures — enough iron to make one nail three inches long — enough gluten to make five pounds of glue — enough sulfer to rid a dog of fleas — enough sugar to make half a batch of cookies — enough fat to make ten bars of soap — enough phosphorous to make 2000 match heads, and — as much carbon as there is in the lead of 900 pencils. SUMMER COMMITMENT Summer is a time to relax, have fun, and not worry about school for two whole months. Some students head for differ¬ ent universities for one week during the summer vacation. No, these students do not go to further their education. They go to attend the different camps held at these universi¬ ties. It takes dedication to give up an entire week of vacation. Elon College was where the baseball players sharpened their skills. Even the cheer¬ leaders attended camps to learn new cheers and stunts. The football cheerleaders also went to Radford University. The girls’ basketball cheerleaders traveled all the way to the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Cougar March¬ ing Pride went to Ferrum where they learned their new half¬ time show. Not only do athletic teams travel to camps, but so do clubs. The FFA FHA clubs went to Smithfield, Virginia, to FFA FHA camp. The campsite is located on the banks of the James River, a couple of hours from Virginia Beach. Of course, there is also the ever popular 4-H summer camp in Franklin County. The football cheerleading squad is but one team that performs at athlet¬ ic functions. Prior to performances, hours of practice time have served to hone skills to near-perfection. To fur¬ ther enhance cheerleading skills, stu¬ dents devote summer vacation time at a variety of universities for camp workshops where they reap the bene¬ fits of instruction by professionals. DO YOU EVER WONDER? IF THEY CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON: why can’t you put metal in a microwave? why can’t they invent heated toilet seats? why can’t we use the word @! $ in the yearbook? why can’t they invent a smokeless cigarette? why can’t they invent an 18- day schoolyear? why can’t they invent a walk- man radio that picks up ten stations you like? why can’t they cure the com¬ mon cold? why can’t they make hot fudge cake without calories? why can’t you teach an old dog new tricks? why can’t they invent an easy assembly schedule that really works? IS IT TIME TO GET A NEW HYUNDAI? YOU KNOW YOU NEED A NEW CAR WHEN . . . A bicycle passes you in the fast lane. You don’t have to open the door to get out. It is smoking, and it isn’t even on. The repairs cost more than the car does. You become pen pals with a scrap metal company. You get a discount at the hardware store. The tow truck follows you around waiting for business. Instead of taking things off, car vandals put parts on. You don’t know which hole is for the gas tank. There’s nothing holding the rust together but band-aids.

THINKING ON YOUR FEET If you’ve got the nerve to talk loud enough in the cafeteria for your friends to hear you (and who doesn’t?), then you have got what it takes to get up in front of a group and speak for FORENSICS. Many PCHS stu¬ dents had the nerve to do just that and they came out win¬ ners.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Phyllis Eastridge watches to make cer¬ tain that the selection is a ran¬ dom one. PCHS Days give everyone an opportunity to search through their drawers and closets and compile the strangest, weir¬ dest, funniest costume possi¬ ble. Each day of the week is as¬ signed to be a certain dress-up day. The best costumes is cho¬ sen and each afternoon the winners are announced. With all this in mind, don’t worry if you see an oversized baby crawling up the hall. Don’t look twice if some beach bum and his float are paddling out to sea during second period. And most of all, do not run if the Pagans are eating their chow beside you in the cafeteria. FLOODS PROMPT PROJECT Raging waters destroyed a section of Dobyns Road. Down¬ town Stuart was submerged un¬ der a torrential rainfall. Mayo River on the rampage! Those headlines and many more like them, made frequent visits to the front pages of Pat¬ rick County’s newspapers. It was then that someone decid¬ ed there must be an answer to the Mayo’s flooding problem. Thus began the construction the Mayo River Flood Control Project. Technically a diversion channel, the project is de¬ signed to carry the excess wa¬ ter load of the Mayo River dur¬ ing the frequent time of high water. However, there are those that might very well ask, is the Flood Control Project such a great idea? The various con¬ tractors in charge of hauling dirt from the sight have been known to spill large amounts of it on the road. Also, there has been at least one dispute as to the legality of some of the dirt¬ dumping spots. All in all though, the flood control project is probably a good thing to have on a rainy night. 12 Mini-Mag To complete a job of such giant proportions, as the Mayo River Flood control project, requires heavy equipment. However, the benefits from such a project justify the assets needed for its completion. T.G.I.F.!! _ Finally it is Friday!! You have looked forward to this day for a week. As the tardy bell rings you stop to compare weekend plans. Run, you are late! The excitement of weekends hits everyone from greenies to Mr. Hiatt. Students seem more talkative than usual and teach¬ ers often have to write the day off as class discussions. How¬ ever they managed, students made it through the day and breathed easier at the 3:02 bell. Friday nights were usually set aside to go see the games and to cheer the Cougars to vic¬ tory. Afterwards, many went to Druthers, the Cougar Den or just riding around town. Saturdays are a different sto¬ ry .. . Sleeping late, eating late, and goofing off! Some prefer to eat while watching the antics of Pee Wee Herman or the Smurfs, or some other cartoon. Others prefer to get going, and take off shopping! And still oth¬ ers spent their Saturdays add¬ ing to, instead of depleting from, their bank accounts. After a tiring day, students were ready to have some fun! Whether it was a night at the movies, pigging out on pizza, or spending the evening watching TV at a friends house. Saturday night was the night to be out. It seems everyone waits until Sunday night to do their home¬ work. ‘‘Somehow I manage to cram itall in on Sunday nignt. “I just do not have the time until then, admitted Pam Hopkins. It seems like that only on Sun¬ day night do most students re¬ alize that Monday is closing in. I do some of it Sunday from 1 to 3 and take a break from 8 to whenever,” says Tim Britt. A few do their homework ahead of time, some do it Sunday night and forfeit sleep, and the majority leave it to homeroom on Monday morning. In either case, they don’t regret the weekend and plan to do it again! AHH, sleep. The perfect end¬ ing to any weekend. As you be¬ gin to drift off, something in the back of your mind reminds you of the English paper due tomor¬ row. You try the tried-and-true method of “out of mind, out of sight”, but more thoughts come flooding in—a Spanish test, and Chemistry quiz . . . oh, and Geometry homework. Which will it be, sleep or home¬ work? The choice is yours. LASER: READING IT LOUD CLEAR What do you think of when you hear C.D.? No, not “10-4 good buddy.” We’re talking about compact discs; the big¬ gest innovation in sound since the invention of the phono¬ graph. Using a laser to read the disc instead of a stylus makes even the smallest component of mu¬ sic come through loud and clear. Just what has made compact discs all the rage? It ' s their su¬ per-clean sound, without the hisses or scratches of long- played records or tapes. The discs are unscratchable, com¬ pact, and yes, have an infinite playing time. Though hard to find at first and restrictively expensive, the availability of the discs has in¬ creased. Compact discs are the wave of the Eighties, stat¬ ed MCA Records executive Roger Phillip. As Mr. Kloock sees it, “The sound is beyond comparison and it won’t be long before we see the prices of discs become lower than the prices of albums and tapes.” Though not unreasonably ex¬ pensive, compact players do cost a little more than your reg¬ ular stereo, beginning at $250. According to enthusiast Tim Britt, “the sound is so perfect that you can even hear some¬ one cough on it. And listening to drums on one is just like be¬ ing on stage.” As for the future of compact discs, they could pass in and out as quickly as eight tracks did. But the experts don’t think so. According to them, C.D’s will make records obsolete. CHEERS! Alcoholism and problem drinking cost the economy over $71 million a day — $27 mil¬ lion is from lost work, $23 mil¬ lion in health and medical costs, $18 million in motor ve¬ hicle accidents, $2 million in research and prevention pro¬ grams, and $1.4 million in criminal justice costs according to the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services links alcohol to: 37 out of 100 suicides, 70 out of every 100 murders, 50 out of every 100 arrests, 20,500 deaths a year, and more mental hospital admissions than any other cause. In addition: Between 45 and 60% of all fatal crashes involving a young person are alcohol related. Approximately one-half of all fire deaths involve drinking. About 50% of those who died in falling accidents had been drinking. Over 50% of drowning vic¬ tims had been drinking.

For example, think back on all the times that you didn’t feel like putting your gum in a wrapper and so you just threw it down. Or the times that you didn’t quite make a jump shot to the wastebasket and didn ' t bother to follow up. Just who do you think cleans up all this mess anyway, your mother? Of course not. The janitors do it all. They not only push brooms, but they are also the ones who clean windows, scrub toilets and desks, and mop floors. So the next time you think of put¬ ting your gum under your seat, just remember that your janitor would prefer that you didn’t. The janitorial staff is not the only staff that cleans up after the students. The cafeteria workers are continually at work, cooking wholesome meals for the student body, and considering the 1200 student population and some 60 faculty members, their task is no easy one.

EXCHANGING FOREIGN FRIENDSHIP Hey! Who’s that new kid?” That’s no regular kid, He’s foreign!” Really?” Yeah! That’s one of our for¬ eign exchange students. We have three this year!” Diego Groiso came to Patrick County from Buenos Aires, Ar¬ gentina. Diego stayed with Jen- nifer Moran and Patrick Springs. His interests include playing softball, soccer, skiing and wind surfing. In his spare time he likes to practice Tae Kwondo, a form of karate. Aca¬ demically he is involved in com¬ puters, electronics, and sci¬ ence. People think the American school system is much less re¬ stricted than in foreign coun¬ tries. This is not necessarily true. Diego feels there is more of a problem with property damage in his school than here. The students simply do not want to be at school. Sound fa¬ miliar? From Chile, Mary Baughan hosted Ximena Droppelman. Ximena likes reading, dancing, basketball, and swimming. In school she is interested in his¬ tory, languages, and Spanish Literature. Ximena is especially interested in the history of the United States and our fight for independence. Though she lives in the coun¬ try, Ximena attends school in Puerto Montt.

She admitted that at first Amer¬ ica would be nice to visit, but not to stay. After living here for a few weeks, Ximena grew to like our country more and more, confessing that she could stay here for a very long time. Straight out of Lima, the cap- itol of Peru, came Leo Yagui. Leo lived with Kristen Larsen in Stuart during his stay. Leo likes to play baseball and soccer. He likes music and television and is interested in becoming an ac¬ countant. Leo liked Patrick County very much even though it is very different from life in a big city. He especially favored the fact that small town living does not include big crime problems. The students came to Amer¬ ica to learn more English, and more about America and her culture. To them, it was like stepping into another world where people had other cus¬ toms. But even though it was very strange and new, our stu¬ dents adapted, and had a great time. Coming to America will be an experience none of the ex¬ change students will forget, nor will they ever forget the new friends they made.

He was Andy Warhol, famous for his Camp¬ bell Soup can, modern paint¬ ings, and odd photos (for which he claims to have never looked through the eyepiece). He was easily distinguished by his hair that resembled a lamp with white plastic strings cas¬ cading from every side. Warhol was the producer of the magazine, Interview, and was persistent in saying that every good picture was a bad picture, and vice-versa. Hopefully, Andy Warhol will be remembered for his talent and uniqueness, or at least be recognized for the first time. As one student said, Maybe now that he’s dead, some of his movies and other works will be seen by some people, at least for once.” PIZZA HUT FUNDAMENTALS Pizza Hut has noticed that every year thousands of peo¬ ple needlessly burn their mouths on the tips of hot piz¬ zas. Take their advice; let yours cool first. Please, let’s keep pizza safe and sane. Pizza Hut has also taken it upon itself to provide the com¬ mon pizza eater with certain guidelines which, in the inter¬ est of public awareness, we have listed below. First, when eating Pizza Hut pizza, with its real mozzarella cheese and thick tomato sauce, make sure there are plenty of napkins on hand (shirt sleeves have other func¬ tions). 18 Mini-Mag HEARD IT. . . Second, you can eat pizza with one hand or two hands; however, you can’t eat it with no hands because putting your face to the plate is rude. Third, it’s OK to put a nap¬ kin in your collar when eating pizza. (Here Pizza Hut would like to remind the customer to re¬ move the napkin when they’re done, because people often point at things they don’t un¬ derstand.) Fourth, and finally, Pizza Hut begs you to be a smart pizza dresser. Avoid formal wear, because tomato sauce looks better on your plate than it does on your cummer¬ bund. Pizza Hut has created these Pizza Fundamentals” to en¬ sure the safety of the custom¬ ers of their restaurants. Of course, if you find these fun¬ damentals oppressive, you can always call Dominoes be¬ cause they will deliver to the privacy of your home and no one will have to see you wal¬ low in your pizza.

Some people pack up and head to the mountains for a peaceful week of hiking and roughing-it. Lots of kids attend summer camp, and spend days swatting flies and making new friends. Others look forward to fun in the sun at their favorite beaches. Still, there are those that spend their days loafing around Patrick County and oc¬ casionally taking a dip at the pool at Dehart Park. You may be the person who awaits summer vacation be¬ cause you plan to catch up on your sleep, or you might want to see how much sun your skin will hold this July. Maybe you can’t wait for summer because of a trip your family has planned to East Shammoo. Whatever the reason may be, each year we anticipate, and summer comes and goes much too soon.

There are chairs strewn out in the halls; no order at all. Yes! It must be time for a school dance! Whether it’s the Dog, the Funky Chicken, or just rockin’ to the music, almost ev¬ eryone likes the opportunity to strut their stuff on the dance floor. As the time rolls around, committees get together and plan, and transform the school cafeteria into a magnificent ball room. The start of the school year was made official by the Back- to-School dance. Besides that, PCHS followed football games, especially Homecoming, with a dance or two. Before the Christmas Dance, couples col¬ lected coins for the SCA to con¬ tribute to community charities. The couple who collected the most money was crowned Snowball King and Snowball Queen. The couple that won this honor was Wendy Law and Jason Keith. February brought the Sweet¬ heart Dance, annually spon¬ sored by the Senior class. Fol¬ lowing the Sadie Hawkins tradi¬ tion, girls asked their guys to come and dance the night away. Beyond the Sweetheart Dance, the End-of-School Dance finished off the year with a positive watusi! Students not only spent their time in the dance floor, but they also spent time on and on front of the stage. Under the direc¬ tion of Mike Larson, several se¬ niors took part in the senior play presented in mid-February and appropriately titled Spirits of Love.” The play, a story of a man’s tumultous married life when his former wife returns as a ghost, ran for several school and public performances. Earli¬ er in February, a professional group of actors, Theatre IV, as¬ sociated with the Virginia Mu¬ seum of Fine Arts and brought to the high school by the Reyn¬ olds Homestead, presented a docudrama of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life called “I Have A Dream.” Later in the year, the Spring Production was put on by stu¬ dents. As a dinner theater, the play “Tartuffe” was an off- Broadway smash. For the stu¬ dents who put in long hou rs cueing each other’s lines, the year’s plays were definitely a challenge. One actor said, The hard work that we put into mak¬ ing our movements and lines just right was worth it all when I heard the audience applaud.” Danny Smith, Tammy Greer, Kevin George, and Teresa Hall take a break from the excitement and converse about dancing techniques.

Tension mounts as quarterback Terry Harris prepares to make another fabulous Cougar play. A Feeling T he juniors came out on top this year, and they dis¬ played the winning chain at Thursday’s pep rally. The se¬ niors took the defeat well, but one senior still believes they should have won: If you look at it proportionally, the seniors beat the juniors.” Maybe so, but the decision still stands. The Homecoming Court was also presented to the student body at the pep rally. The court was as follows: 8th grade, Tammy Greene and Sara Harnsburger; 9th grade, Jenny Redmond and Mary Beth Mar¬ tin; 10th grade, MendyCoalson and Melissa Hill; and 11th grade, Wendy Law and Cyndi Crissman. The senior class was represented by Robin Roberts, Becky Reynolds, Jean Castillo, Linda Frankum, Kristi Akers. The big moment came Friday night at the football game against Drewry Mason. The game got off to a great start and fans were psyched up and ready for the announcement of Homecoming Queen. It was a very chilly night as the candi¬ dates shivered at the halftime show. Finally, after what seemed to be the longest wait at the cold¬ est temperatures, Linda Fran¬ kum was crowned Homecom¬ ing Queen 1986. The football game was not over, however and the Cougars gave it their all, even until the final seconds of the game. The Spartans, though, took advantage of some of the Cougar errors, and won the game. The Patrick County fans were not disap¬ pointed in the team’s perfor¬ mance as they cheered on. Bleep, what do you think about this Earth culture?” Well, Mush, I must say it’s not quite what I expected. Life on planet Zorbort was never like this. “It seems like some sort of celebration.” What would aliens think about Earth people if they vis¬ ited this school during Home¬ coming Week? Imagine their re¬ action after seeing nerds and punkers running around. They might even feel right at home! Homecoming Week was es¬ pecially successful. October 13-17 got underway with a toga dress-up day. Sandy Collins was the winner for best toga. Graham Witt, Tal Swails, Tara Massie, and Autumn Smart won the honor of Nerds of the Day when they broke out of their shells and came to school casually. Others wore buttons or green and gold on Tuesday. Punkers dominated the scene on Wednesday, and the more normal people wore their con¬ cert Tees. Paul Vivier and Beth Haynes won the best-dressed punk award. Thursday was 50 ' s day as Lisa Handy and Jona¬ than Clark took the honors for best-dressed. Beach Day took place on one of the coldest days, but that didn’t stop the beach bums from having their fun. Melissa Hedrick was cho¬ sen best beach bum. Other activities that took place during the week included an M M guessing game and the very competitive spirit link contest. The Homecoming Dance was held after the game, and entertainment was pro¬ vided by Sound Unlimited.” Homecoming Week was as successful as school spirit was high. Another Homecoming celebration has passed by and students will always remember that it was More Than a Feel¬ ing. Homecoming 25 A beauty pageant, dance contest, fashion show, Demolition Derby, and a pig-kissing contest!? Where can you find all this and much more? Where else but at the Patrick County Fair, over 10,000 people from Patrick and surrounding counties came to see this kaleidoscope of ac¬ tivity. Aside from the rides, games and exhibits, there is always something for everyone at the PC Fair. Monday night the pop¬ ular Miss Patrick County Fair Pageant was held. The winner, Miss Kimberly Wright of Bas¬ sett, was a 1984 graduate of PCHS. She presided over some of the remaining activities of the fair. Tuesday night was Student s Night, with students admitted free. On Wednesday night, the De¬ molition derby was held and one surprise contestant was Sherriff Jay Gregory. Judge Greenwalt won the ever-popular pig-kissing con¬ test held on Thursday night. There were the exciting Dash For the Mash” pig races that proved to be the highlight of the night. The pig-kissing contest was held sponsored by the PCHS Band Boosters. Friday, fairgoers were enter¬ tained by the popular country music group, the Kendalls in their first performance at the PC Fair. Saturday, however, was the last day of the fair, and to accomodate the many peo¬ ple, the fair opened early. The grand finale went out with a blast as giant fire exploded over the fairgrounds. This was indeed a very suc¬ cessful fair with approximately 1200 agricultural and craft ex¬ hibits were entered, and many were entered by PCHS stu¬ dents. But as with all good things, they must come to an end. As the lights dimmed and the ferris wheel took its last spin, many people, whether the young or the young at heart, wished it would last just One More Night. “Life in the fast lane is rough on your hair!” says Ramona Gunter after It ' s a run for the roses as these pigs a wild ride on the Rock-O-Planes. round the bend.

PC Fair 27 Southern Mts A starry sky and an elegant ballroom set the scene for the Junior-Senior prom. Endless afternoons and nights of work by the juniors went into the conversion of the gymnasium. Many do not real¬ ize how much work and time went into putting together the prom. Committees were estab¬ lished, a theme was decided on, and decorations were planned. Juniors and several teachers worked diligently until prom night. Decorating was of¬ ten slow, and money ran thin. Finally, the long-awaited night arrived. At eight o’clock, Saturday, April 26, 1986, the magical night began. As couples stepped into the gym, they were transported back into the past, back to the time of “Gone With The Wind. A southern plantation helped to complete the theme of “Southern Nights.” It was complete right down to the mailbox with Colo¬ nel Donnel painted on it. Since funds were short, the juniors voted whether or not to have a live band or catering ser¬ vice. The idea of having a live band won out. The music was provided by Staxx. Even though the feelings of having a band were apprehensive, it went over well with everyone. Even the chaperones and their dates got out on the dance floor to boogie. The “Southern Night” ended all too quickly, but it was filled with special memories for ev¬ eryone. For the seniors it was one of their last great memo¬ ries of high school. The juniors will look forward to next year. With the top 40 sound of Staxx, the night was almost like heaven . Darian Hylton listens intently as J.B.

Pooka. From old Celtic mytho¬ logy. A fairy spirit in animal form. Always very large. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one at his own caprice. A wise but mischie¬ vous creature.” A 6 ' V 2 tall white rabbit? Let’s be serious. Everyone knows that such things just don’t exist. Many people are still skeptical about E.T. and The Gremlins, not to mention a gigantic, invisible rabbit! But, just try telling that to Elwood P. Dowd and see what happens. One may very well ask, “who is Elwood P. Dowd?! Elwood was the main character in the faculty play, “Harvey,” and Harvey was the V 2 white rab¬ bit, the invisible star of the play. It seems that Elwood (Mark Donnell) was the only person who could actually see this white monstrosity. He tried to introduce Harvey to all his friends, but that proved to be a difficult task, since Harvey was invisible. Finally convinced that he was crazy, and hoping to im¬ prove her family’s social life, El- wood ' s sister tried to have him committed to a mental insti¬ tute. However, quite by acci¬ dent, Veta Louise Simmons (Mott Martin) was committed, in what leads to a bizarre com¬ edy of errors. This left Elwood to roam the streets unattend¬ ed, though not totally alone; his friend Harvey, the pooka, was with him. In the play, Mary Jane Taylor gave a convincing performance as Mrs. Chauvenet, while Bid- gie Buchanan did equally as well in the role as Nurse Ruth Kelly. Marsha Honeycutt played the part of Myrtle Mae Simmons, and Nelson Moore, Sue Bleckley, James Love, Pam Owens, Nelson McConnell, and Bill Pons drew applause and laughter in their supporting roles. In Dr. Sanderson’ s consultation room, the staff of Chumley’s Rest determine that it is Mrs. Simpson who needs to be institutionalized. Veta Louise tries, however unsuccessfully, to convince Nurse Ruth Kelly that Elwood is indeed a threat to society. Mrs. Chauvenet (Mary Jane Taylor) attempts to calm Veta Louise (Mott Martin) after Elwood introduces Harvey to her friends. At the sanitarium, Dr. Sanderson and Nurse Kelly restrain Elwood and attempt to prevent Mr. Wilson from hurting both Elwood and Harvey. 30 Harvey SSaw Long and I t’s time to go to college. Well, not actually, but for juniors and seniors, Tuesday Sep¬ tember 23 came very close. “Hey, Bill, where ya going?” I thought I would go over to Virginia Tech, and then UVA. Afterthat, I’ll probably try some of the technical community col¬ leges.” Sound a little hard to be¬ lieve? On any other day this would be viewed with skepti¬ cism, but on this Tuesday, over 50 representatives from col¬ leges, universities, and even the Armed Services were locat¬ ed in the library and cafeteria. These men and women were there to help students with their choice of an after-gradu¬ ation career. During the time allotted, ju¬ niors and seniors talked with College and Armed Forces re¬ presentatives and asked any questions that they might have. Of course, college day wouldn’t be a success without the help of the Guidance Department and several PCHS students who made sure the event ran smoothly. Thanks to these peo¬ ple, many students took their first step down “The Long and Winding Road to graduation.

Scholastic Competition for the Academic Excellence Lea¬ gue was started in the spring of 1985-86,The competitionwas set upas four individual teams in the categories of Litera¬ ture, Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics.Individual team scores are totalled foran overall team score. Each team competes against the other school’s team with lights and buzzers. Questions are asked one after the other and the team with the highest acc¬ umulative score at the end of the match emerges as the winner. The Cougars did remarkably well for their first year. After a shaky start, they made a minor adjustment to overcome their fears and show what they were made of. Patrick County advanced to the tournament which was held at Patrick Henry Community college. The first match was held against Bassett High School. It was a match which didn’t end until the last ques¬ tion. Even then,debates by the Bassett team led to a strong de¬ fense by the Cougars. Ques¬ tionable circumstances may have hindered the Cougars to keep them from claiming their win. Debating continued; but somehow Bassett won the ar¬ gument which cost the Cougars a very important match. It was an emotional match for the team; one that ended in disap¬ pointment for all involved. However, the Cougars plan to come back stronger than ever next season, and you can be sure that the upcoming re¬ match will be anxiously await¬ ed. Students not only spend practice time at school working on their area, but extra time at home to become familiar with their material. Literature team members spent time reading novels, short stories and po¬ ems; Math students practiced problems and memorized for¬ mulas. Social Studies members studied date after date, any¬ thing from the Battle of the Alamo to the Civil War, while Science team members famil¬ iarized themselves with chemi¬ cal equations and formulas. All this study time made for well- prepared teams and intense matches. As well-prepared as they were, the team members main points of the competitions wasn’t just winning. In reality, encouraging the students’ pur¬ suit of knowledge was the ma¬ jor goal, while having fun at the same time. With this as their guideline, the Academic Com¬ petitions for Excellence helped to both expand horizons and to make sure Everybody Has Fun Tonight.

The guest speaker for the evening was Dal Shealy, head football coach at the University of Richmond. He was intro¬ duced by the General District Court Judge, Frank Greenwalt. Coach Shealy was referred to as a Christian gentleman and a “people’s coach”. Shealy’s speech was based on his idea of dedication and commitment. As always, one of the main highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Coach of the Year award. This year the honor was received by E.G. Bradshaw, our J.V. baseball, football, and basketball coach. Coach Bradshaw attended Wilson Memorial high School. Afterwards, he spent his col¬ lege days at Bridgewater Col¬ lege and then at Tennessee Wesleyan. In high school, he Dal Shealy, guest speaker for the banquet, drives his point home about the dedication and commitment required of athletes. participated in baseball and basketball. Baseball was his sport in college. Coach Brad¬ shaw commented that a good coach has to have a love for the sport and support from community, administration, and family”. Also, he stated that an athlete should show “dedication to himself herself and to the team, team loyalty, and the will to prepare.” The Enterprise award went to Brad Dalton and Tina Houle. This award is for the Senior Ath- lets of the Year. The award for athletes with the highest academic averages, was presented by the Bull Mountain Bugle to Cliff Boyd and Melissa Kreh. Bill Pons and Jim Litten were presented awards for dedi¬ cated service. The Athletic Banquet helps show the community the pride that is felt for all athletes. Doing what he does best, Coach E.G. Bradshaw lends encouragement to the varsity girls’ basketball team. His efforts brought many successes to the team. 36 Athletic Banquet Coach of the Year Coach Bradshaw admires his Coach-of-the-Year Award as he prepares to give his acceptance speech. Richard Kreh presents the award. Principal James K. Hiatt gives the dedicated service award to Jim Litten for his continued help in the community. Athletic Banquet Coach of the Year 37 Kid Space Age E lectronic beeps and buzzes, flashing lights, and the sound of busy fin¬ gers punching keys on the key¬ board. These are just a few of the sounds that might greet someone opening the door to Room 21. What is inside of Room 21? Good question. Room 21 is the computer room at PCHS. It is in this room that students, under the direction of Mr. Arnie Kloock, work diligent¬ ly trying to improve their basic computer skills. “We come in early, and stay very late,” said one computer student, with no exaggeration or hesitation. Many of the com¬ puter students put in long hours in front of their comput¬ er, especially the day before a program is due. They visit the computer room before school, during their study hall, during their regular class period, and even before school. The students are not the only ones who benefit from the school’s computers. The teach¬ ers have many uses for them as well. Don’t be surprised if your final exams are computer print¬ ed. What is the fascination that everyone seems to have with computers? Almost everybody uses them at one time or the other, whether they are the complex multi-million dollar machines, the video games at the local arcade, or something as simple as a hand-held calcu¬ lator. So why not take a byte out of the big Apple lie? Computers are becoming more popular each and every day, because of their practicality and their effi¬ ciency. Their uses may range from filing recipes to develop¬ ing and revising a scientific the¬ ory. Computer hackers, people who possess an extremely large amount of computer knowl¬ edge, have been known to em¬ bezzle millions of dollars from major businesses. They have even “broken into” such Top Secret computers as those in the Pentagon! Computer whizzes have been character- ized in such movies as War- Games, Vision Quest, Real Ge¬ nius, and Weird Science. So why not catch the wave and be¬ come a computerized Space Age Whiz Kid? What am I supposed to do?” Jeff Clark asks as he skims over his computer print out. Don ' t ask me! Rodney Fanning tells him with a glance. 38 Computers Computer Science isn’t just learning by working on the computer. It involves hours of writing and copying programs to become a computer whiz. Checking over her notes, Lorranie Lewis trys to figure out what move is next. Sometimes it ' s not easy to be a smooth operator. It has definitely become a computer world. J.B Large seems to be doing fine as he concentrates on his program. Computers 39 Me Under Pressure A nother first for Patrick County! This year marks the birth of the English 12-AP class, commonly called “AP.” No, this is not a class about African People, nor does it teach you how to bake Apple Pie. The “AP” stands for Ad¬ vanced Placement, and it is a course designed to enable stu¬ dents to demonstrate their achievements in college level work by taking the Advanced Placement English Examina¬ tion in Literature and Composi¬ tion which is administered by the Educational Testing Service of the College Board. Those who take the AP” exam in May, and do well can receive up to six college credits while still a high school seniors. Thirteen students signed up as the guinea pigs.” Thse stu¬ dents are: Beth Bowman, Tim Britt, Jean Castillo, Sandy Col¬ lins, Alan Hiatt, Pam Hopkins, Amy Key, Scott Murphy, Angie Pendleton, Robin Roberts, Martha Scott, Andy Shelton, and Graham Witt. Many of the students are thoroughly enjoy¬ ing the class, especially the class discussion. “AP” student, Sandy Collins, feels that taking the class if “going to help tre¬ mendously for college.” Although AP” stands for Ad¬ vanced Placement, some stu¬ dents feel it can mean Added Pressure. However, that does not make this class any less en¬ joyable than any other course at the high school. Senior Eng¬ lish teacher Mrs.Lisa Martin, is in charge of the AP class. She had to take some preparatory classes in order to be qualified as an AP teacher including a conference at Virginia Tech, in thespringand also a seminar at Wake Forest University in the summer. What about those students who are very hesitant about taking a college equivalent class? Mrs. Martin has some words of encouragement; she says not to come with “expecta¬ tions that you will make the same good grades that you have been making in advanced classes. Be prepared for lower grades.” She adds, the work is harder and more extensive, but you will get more out of it, and with a small group, you will have more fun. Some of the classroom ac¬ tivities include recitations of the opening lines of The Can¬ terbury Tales, a dramatic inter¬ pretation of MacBeth solilo¬ quies, an indepth analysis of such works as Conrad ' s Heart of Darkness, and Camus’ The Stranger and even a trial of Shakespeare’s character, Lady MacBeth. This trial included the roles of a judge, a prosecu¬ tor, defense attorney, Lady MacBeth, and many witnesses. A jury of six juniors were brought in to try the case. After long periods of questioning and cross-examination, the jury brought forth a verdict of guilty and sentenced Lady MacBeth to 10 years in prison. This trial was fun for the class and typi¬ cal of the wide range of activi¬ ties that the class has to offer. The one big advantage of tak¬ ing the AP course is the 5.5 GPA you can receive for an A. According to Mrs. Martin, the class is enjoying great success so far. “All of the students seem interested in delving deeply into their reading and their atti¬ tudes about the class in general are encouraging. We are work¬ ing very hard, but we ' re having fun, too.” A non-AP student says, Now that I am taking advanced Eng¬ lish, I really wish I had taken AP English for college purposes. The English 12-AP class is the beginning of a series of pro¬ posed AP classes. The near fu¬ ture may bring an Advanced Placement English for juniors, and plans are in the works for j an AP Calculus class. Guilty or innocent? This junior jury consisting or Larry Holt, Sam¬ my Cassell, Revonda Barbour, . Mary Baughn, Mary Hanchey, and Renae Boyd mull over the evi¬ dence presented. I MacBeth (Andy Shelton) is brought before the court and is examined by defense attorney Scott Murphy. Judge Pam Hopkins remains in control as she hears MacBeth’s testi¬ mony. “Essays, essays, essays! exclaims Amy Key. She and Sandy Collins rest before turning in one of the many papers due for the AP class. 9 ■ ■ AP Classes 41 Working “The first time I went to talk with my new boss, the first thing I saw was a poster of a bulldog that said, ‘You can be replaced.’ ” I f you scout the area you will find students laboring away at various part-time jobs. Several work every day at gro¬ cery stores or clothing shops, while others work four or five days a week at a check-out counter or in a restaurant. Although sometimes fun, after-school jobs can create problems. You may return home very late, tired, only to face a stack of unfinished homework. The clock ticks away the night and you become too sleepy to think. The next day when you enter the class¬ room without your homework and later fall asleep, your teachers seem to have no com¬ passion for your plight. Why does the average high school student jeopardize health and education? For stu¬ dents, the answers to this ques¬ tion come easy. Many are sim¬ ply enjoying having a little extra money to spend in any way they wish. However, some kids are actually saving their checks to prepare for their life after high school, whether it be college or a family. Others dream of that high-performance sports car, that wild stereo system, know¬ ing that if they keep saving it will soon be in their clutches. More immediately though, students strain and sweat each weekday night so that when Fri¬ day rolls around, they can fill up Dad ' s car and cruise the Mt. Airy strip, or maybe catch a movie and a bite to eat. It’s correct to say that PCHS students are “working for the weekend.’’ The addition of the Village Shopping Center to Stuart brought jobs for many high school students. Ricky Hall stacks cans of dog food in a display at Lowe ' s Foods. 42 Afterschool Jobs Being a cashier is a big responsibility. You must be certain you get the balance right. Teresa Hall makes sure everything has been added. Amanda Harris checks the price of an item under the counter before she returns to the cash register and begins to add it up. Afterschool Jobs 43 Loving Every Minute of It E ach year a certain group of students try desperately to sell boxes and boxes of doughnuts. No, they are not ju¬ nior Krispy Kreme salesmen, they are Betas, and with every box they sell, they become con¬ tinually closer to their goal, Se¬ nior Beta Convention. In March, over forty Senior Beta members set out for Roa¬ noke to participate in the state convention. While there at Ho¬ tel Roanoke, the Beta members attended several meetings and Shuffled with Shelton in Andy Shelton ' s victorious cam¬ paign for president of the state club. Although required to be pre¬ sent at each session, the stu¬ dents had some time on their own to do as they pleased. On their afternoon off, several stu¬ dents crossed the railroad tracks into downtown Roanoke and caught a public bus over to Valleyview Mall to go shopping. A tired and cranky group of students returned home the following day, but each excited¬ ly awaited the next convention. As June rolled around, a con¬ siderably smaller group of only eleven students gathered once again to travel. It was an eight hour drive to Washington, D.C. where the National Beta Con¬ vention was held. Once again there were meetings and cam¬ paigning for Andy Shelton, who faired well, but didn’t quite make it to the finals. Being in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is a beautiful city with a lot to offer. Students had a free afternoon to relax or sight-see. PCHS Beta members chose to go down under and catch a subway to the Washing¬ ton Mall where they viewed the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam ' s War Memorial, Washington Monument, and the Smithson¬ Weekends. Sr Beta members enjoyed one fabulous weekend at the Hotel Roanoke while Beta Convention was in session. ian Institute. After an early lunch in one of the many cafes in the Smithsonian, the stu¬ dents returned to the streets of Washington and found them¬ selves in a violent, electrical storm. Seeking refuge from the rain, the students hid out in a nearby bus stop shelter until the storm passed. Soaking wet, the students were subject to wild stares as they boarded the subway dripping. That night there was a short session and a semi-formal dance for the Beta ' s to attend. The dance was held in the huge Sheraton Ballroom of the Sheraton Washington Hotel and featured a live band. The members returned home late the next night sleepy from the excitement of the past three days. Behind them they left new friends they had made, but took with them new memo¬ ries they ' d never forget. “I missed again, says sponsor John Halsey to chaperone Nelson McConnell, as they pour over a map that should lead them to Washington, D.C. 44 I Sr. Beta members Tonya Smith, Randy Gunter, and Graham Witt take time to answer questions for voters They ' re not here to start no while campaigning at the National trouble, they’re just here to do Convention. the State Beta Shuffle! Beta members take time to sight-see while in Washington, viewing many points of human interest such as the Vietnam War Memorial. 45 Annual staff photographer Paul Vivier stops for a brief rest after a long day of photographing club groups.

Seniors are not only involving them¬ selves with school activities during this year, but are also giving much thought to their fu¬ ture. This last year can be very expensive, as any senior will vouch. Senior pic¬ tures, announce- Front Row: Linda Har¬ ris, Shirley Fulcher, An¬ gie Cassell, Lois Bar¬ bour, Phyllis Kodenski, Hollis Fain, Dana Pil- ments, informals, and caps and gowns can really add up as the senior year un¬ folds. Fortunately, students have somewhere to turn to for help with fi¬ nancial frustra¬ tions; Room Moth¬ ers! Each year, se¬ niors who wish may nominate their mothers to help re¬ present the senior class. After being voted upon, the son, Marie Hopkins, Viv¬ ian Joyce, Frances Rad¬ ford. Back Row: Judy Joyce, Cindy Law, Carol Larsen, Barbara Rob- room mothers soon begin their long list of duties. Their big¬ gest responsibility is the planning, or¬ ganizing, and gen¬ eral preparations of the class’ activities. The senior class pic¬ ture, the excite¬ ment of graduation, and the party at Sportslane are all activities that de¬ pend on the aid of these women. Of¬ ten, they find them¬ selves preparing erts, Neva Martin, Jean¬ ette Mitchell, Annette Hall, Jean Belcher, Tres- sie Cooper, and Brooke Key. food for special events or preparing themselves to chap¬ erone the class on a trip. They also know the meaning of stretch, especially when it comes to the senior class funds. As this year’s room moth¬ er s proved, when the seniors aren’t taking care of busi¬ ness, they are! Who else could handle those rowdy seniors without the threat of disciplinary action? Or put a senior in his place by demanding that he thank Mama before taking that drink? Room Mothers do it all, from preparing food for the Sr. Picnic to keeping up with the senior class at Sportslanes. No one else but their mothers could be this dedicated to the senior class!

Jesse Thompson was one of the many seniors affect¬ ed by the closing of Tex’s. For some whose brothers and sisters went to PCHS in the past, it was a family tradi¬ tion. What did you do over the weekend? Ask many PCHS students and they’ll answer: We went cruising around Tex’s.” Tex’s has been a popular hangout for PCHS teens for years. But this all changed with the end of 1986. January 1, 1987, not only hailed the new year, but also the re¬ placement of Tex’s as an office building as well. To make up for the loss of Tex’s, two new teen cen¬ ters were set up, one on Main Street and the other at Ro¬ tary field in Stuart. Although the cruis¬ ing lanes of Tex’s will be missed by PCHS teens, with new places to go, they realize that their fun is far from over.

The bumper stick¬ ers and window de¬ cals were sold to promote school spirit and as a fund raiser for the Athlet¬ ic Boosters. With all the stickers around, it was hard not to buy one because they became Stuck on You. “Hey Bill, I love all the extras on your new car.” “Thanks. Which one do you like most?’’ u | 11 “I bet it’s the AM FM stereo cassette player with the power booster, huh?’’ “Well, actually ... “Then I bet it’s the turbo charged engine.” Well, no ” “Well, what is it then?

The new bumper stickers are just one way stu¬ dents express their Cou¬ gar Pride. Bumper stickers aren ' t just for bumpers.

Here’s proof that Todd Hubbard’s ex¬ cuse of, My car wouldn’t start and I had to ride the lawn- mower to school and that’s why I ' m late,” holds up. Excuses. By the time you’re a se¬ nior, you could write a book on them! You can probably title it, “1001 Ways to Leave Chemistry With a Blast, or “Psyching Out Your P.E. Teacher,” and earn a great deal of money from under¬ classmen. The best-known excuse is, The dog ate my paper,” but most seniors try to be more creative. Next time, try My computer ate my paper. Or if they ask about your re¬ port due on the Mystery of the Az¬ tec, tell them you thought they said the History of Vir¬ ginia Tech! No won¬ der you couldn’t find it in the library. You could sug¬ gest that the reason you aren’t doing so well in class is that Jupiter isn’t in line with Venus and it has zapped your creative juices. Don’t leave any¬ thing to chance. If you don’t have it, just say, “Well, ex¬ cuse me!” LISA LYNN HANDY — Burton and Shirley Handy, Rt. 1, Box 68-D, Claudville: FBLA 9; VICA 10-12; 4-H 8.

Anita Vipperman was one of many that felt this way after Journey cancelled its Roanoke performance. Going To A Go-Go Everyone senses the excitement of a concert. You stand in line for hours just to get tickets. Then you wait. It seems like decades pass, but finally the day of the concert comes and you and your friends file into one car and set out. You arrive in plen¬ ty of time only to find that five hun¬ dred people have beat you there. You look around and see people clad in leath¬ er from head,to toe, with strange hair and make-up. At first you fear you have somehow end¬ ed up at a formal dinner banquet for the Hell’s Angels, but then you realize all these characters are here for the same reason you are. They came in their Sunday’s best to rock! Finally, after searching a half an hour for B-13, you are in luck! You crawl over a couple in the floor, over a row of seats and push your way to your seat. After kicking a beer can out of your way you jump into position. Lesson number one: No one sits at a concert! You check your view and wait for it all to start. Without the Journey concert to look forward to, some students suf¬ fered a lost weekend. as tickets for other rock groups were hard to come by.

Take the following quiz to see if you qualify as an official senior: 1. College applications have made you crazy, and you’re still not sure what career you want to pursue. 2. You miss every deadline for the SAT form and end up paying the $11.50 late registration fee. 3. You sternly de¬ cide that American Government is not for you, and you scrap the idea about becoming President of the United States. 4. Every morning before school you hang around the halls at the famous Senior Radiator” so you can watch people go by, and check up on the lat¬ est gossip. 5. You seriously be¬ gin to wonder about Enghlish Literature and all those writ¬ ers. Your Canter¬ bury Tales recita¬ tion is still at the front of your mind, “Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote.Thedroughte of March hath perced to the roote tt 6. It is the middle of November, and you are already making reservations for a condo at Myrtle Beach. 7.

The 12th grade offi¬ cers, of course! Despite set¬ backs, which in¬ cluded a minimal amount of money, the class pulled through. Earlier in October, the class voted on class motto, song, color, flower, and mas¬ cots. By November, seniors had to think about senior pic¬ tures, announce¬ ments, etc., and how much they would cost. Why did students pay so much for all these? “I think it is to be able to say they were actually in the Class of ’87, ex¬ plained President Jean Castillo. Vice- President Anita Vip- perman offered an¬ other reason. “I bought one of the glass mugs for $12. I got it so I’d have something to re¬ member my senior year by.” With their help, the senior class achieved another first. They were the first to have their own parking lot, a privilege denied un¬ derclassmen. By helping to expand senior privileges, the senior class offi¬ cers made their year one to remem¬ ber in their wild life. Secretary Laura Hub¬ bard, Vice-President Anita Vipperman, and President Jean Castillo find that all class duties aren’t hard to fulfill. With their help, the se¬ nior class was looking good indeed.

Jesse Thompson doesn’t want to give up his gummies, but Renee Kodenski knows that money changes every¬ thing. “Hey, pass me one of those worms!” “Which one do you want, the red one or the blue one?” “Aw, it don ' t matter, they all taste the same. Say, while you’re up, why don’tyou bringmea couple of those rats?” “Okay, and if you’re hungry, really hun¬ gry, I could bring you a couple of the bears, too.” “That would be swell!” Worms, rats and bears?!? People are eating worms, rats and bears? Not re¬ ally. They are just eating gummies, the latest craze to hit America. Gummies started out as Gummi Bears, but as the idea grew, so did the product. Soon came Gummi Wo r m s, Gummi Frogs, Gummi Dragons, and Gummi Rats. Grape, orange, cherry, lime, and lemon are just the basic flavors that you can buy before you graduate up to the gourmet fla¬ vors, such as rasp¬ berry, blueberry, and watermelon. Which would you like? A worm, a bear, or how about a nice big Gummie Rat? Just remember that when you are staring the rat in the eyes; don’t think about it, just Eat It!

Andy Dandytale graciously agreed to visit school and accompany them to their classes. Most people won¬ der why we students circle the halls con¬ tinuously every morn¬ ing. It may be to catch a glimpse of that spe¬ cial guy or sexy brun- nette in English class. Whatever the reason, it seems to be a favor¬ ite pastime of all the students. However, there are several exceptions to this rule. The tenth graders and a few oth¬ er underclassmen hang out near the locker rooms. Occa¬ sionally they may be seen skateboarding across the hall or cre¬ ating some hilarious scene. Then there is Heart Hall”, where several couples spend their morning togeth¬ er. Although they seem to be absorbed in each other, their eyes are constantly on the lookout for the faculty. The seniors also dominate their own little corner. A few strays do manage to sneak in from time to time, but they are re¬ moved unless they happen to be the pri¬ vate property of one of the seniors. Even though there are many exceptions, the “Round and Round” traditions still reign. What better way to cruise the halls than in a group? Juniors Andrea Witt, Connie Bird, Jeannie Turner, and Amy Hopkins wouldn’t have it any other way. 64 Juniors Senior Shawn Arnder prepares to defend his place on the radiator if necessary against underclassmen should they invade.

The Class Presi¬ dent, Heather Hill, was also president in the 8th, 9th, and the 10th grade. Te¬ resa Hall, Vice- President, was the Class Secretary in the 10th grade, and while Cyndi Criss- man has had no previous experience as a class officer, she is doing a great job as Class Secre¬ tary. This year, howev¬ er, the class officers are faced with much more respon¬ sibility. Juniors re¬ ceived their class rings, and the junior class is responsible for organizing the Jr.-Sr. Prom. How can anyone handle all this When the going gets tough? It must be when you fall back on the old ex¬ treme dedication, manage to handle it. Taking a break from their duties, the junior class officers find time to goof around. Cindy Crissman is Class Sec¬ retary, Teresa Hall is Vice-President, and Heather Hill reigns as President.

Juniors 67 That’s Just The Way It Is SAT Who would sus¬ pect that those im- ple three letters could strike so much fear into the hearts of students nationwide? But they do, and do the words Verbal Sec¬ tion, Mathematical Seciton, Raw Score, or Combined Score hold any special meaning for you? If you have ever taken the PSATor the SAT, those terms should be familiar. SAT stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test, and a college bound student must take this test before being con¬ sidered by most col¬ leges. Before you can even take the test, you have to register for it. If you happen to miss the registra¬ tion date by some unfortunate quirk of faith, not only do you have to pay an¬ other $11.00 fee, but you also have to pay another $11.50 fee for registration. After you finally get registered, you re¬ ceive your admis¬ sion ticket, only to find out that your name was spelled incorrectly and your address isn’t cor¬ rect either. So the only thing that you can do is to fill out the correction form and mail it to the College Board. When test day comes, you enter the tes t center a good 30 seconds before the 8:30 AM deadline (you would have been there earlier, but halfway to the testing cen¬ ter, you remem¬ bered that you had left your admission ticket at home and you had to rush back to get it.) Then it happens. You open your test booklet and you cannot figure out any of the ques¬ tions. PANIC. Every¬ thing you have learned in your SAT Workshop escapes you. The only thing to do is to take several deep breaths (try¬ ing not to hyperven¬ tilate), and relax. Once you have calmed down, it does not seem so hard. 12:30 arrives and that means the test is over. It ' s best not to worry about the test once you’ve taken it, because that was then, this is now. And don’t worry if you messed it up, if you are a ju¬ nior you can take it again next year. Se¬ niors — tough luck — that ' s just the way it is. 68 Juniors Betsy Layman Judson Leviner Darren Light JoAnn Linster Harold Mabe David Marshall Jeff Martin Scott Martin Shannon Martin Tara Massie Mike McColl Margaret Mitchell Tamara Lea Moles Preston Moore Jennifer Moran Bobby Nester Glenna Niten Suzanne Norman Chevonda Nowlin David Nunn James Nunn Melissa Nunn Dale Owens Mark Pack Wayne Pack Mike Pendleton Tina Pendleton Ronald Penn Joanne Pfeifer Frances Pritt Bonova Poy Sokhm Pov Mark Purcell Jeff Ramey Carl Ratliff Doug Richards Jim Reynolds Kim Reynolds Monica Renolds Scott Reynolds Tracie Reynolds Jamie Roark David Rorrer Kevin Rorrer Jeannie Scearce Larry Wray studiously checks his answer sheet to make sure that there are no mistakes.

Juniors 69 Home Sweet Home “Let me get this straight. They stole your Calculus homework, your girlfriend’s teddy bear, your Physics notebook, your lucky exam frog, 14 pencils, 5 pens, a ruler, and your life-size poster of Christy Brinkley?!” That’s right, sir. “Do you mind if I ask how they got all of this stuff?” “Not at all, Sir. You see, it was in my locker ...” “Your locker? “Yes, I kind of decorated it because these drab colors were so depressing. You know which ones I mean — the metallic grey, and the rusty-brown. I see. Did they take everything?” “No, they left the wallpaper, the shelves, and my University of Virginia bumper sticker. Oh, I see. Well, how do you suppose they got into your locker” No one knows your combination, do they?” “Well, no, but I don ' t actually shut my locker. I just kind of push it together... so I can get my books for the next class and ... Wallpaper, shelves, bumper stickers, and a LIFE SIZE POSTER OF CHRISTY BRINK- LEY! That’s a pretty odd assortment of decorations. How¬ ever, many PCHS students decorate their lockers in that manner. Between classes, it’s possi¬ ble to walk through the halls and see pictures of your fa¬ vorite rock star, heart-throb, or cov¬ er-girl emblazoned across the open locker doors. Whether the deco¬ rations are some¬ thing complex like wallpaper or some¬ thing as simple as a couple of photos, your locker decora¬ tions can serve to make you unique. Twilight Zone.

For 10th grade offi¬ cers Jenny Foley, David Nunn, and Janice Lovell, in¬ forming the class of school happenings is a job they are fa¬ miliar with, as both SCA representa¬ tives and previous class officers. Good leadership ability and the de¬ sire to do what’s best for the entire class is paramount for class officers. It takes a special tal¬ ent to serve as one. It begins with the guts for making a speech and design¬ ing a campaign that will appeal to the audience. After the elections, the task of pleasingthe class and making a differ¬ ence lies ahead of them. The 10th grade officers did just that as they kept striving to improve their class and kept mov¬ ing on up. Shaking and shivering after a rain-drenched football game, Melissa Hill, Tammy Smith, and Michelle Reynolds seem surprised to find fans still hanging around after the game.

It’s the new cologne I picked up for my date with Sally tonight. “Well, son, I think that with a whole bottle on, the only thing you’re going to attract is flies. I thought that the more I put on, the better I would smell. “Not quite, son. I guess you have a lot to learn, this being your first date and everything. If you have any questions you can always ask your dear old Dad. If you want, we could have a talk about the birds and the bees.” No, Dad. That’s alright, we learned about that stuff in Health class, but I do have one question. “What’s that, son?” Do you think you could extend my curfew for about an hour? First dates, cur¬ fews, movies, and sweaty palms are just a few things that teenagers can identify with. First dates are the first real chance a cou¬ ple has to see each other outside of school Often, groups of friends will go out together on a date because it gives them a chance to unwind and forget the pressures of school. A real date, though, is the act of going one-on-one, just two people go- ingout on theirown. Most people would like to think that they could look back on their first date and smile a secret smile, know¬ ing that they have climbed yet another step on the ladder of adulthood. The truth is, however, that most first dates are a little awkward. This, for guys, is the test of whether they can remember to open the car doors for the girls. For the girls, it ' s the strug¬ gle to keep those guys thinking how beautiful they look. All in all, first dates are the ones to re¬ member. Who could forget the car not starting, the bowl of soup in their date ' s lap, or how the lights mysteriously flickered on and off as you stood on the porch waiting ex¬ pectantly for a goodnight kiss? Ah, yes, first dates may be the hardest ones, but they open the door for the ones to come. Tonight’s the Night.

A Knife “Now, make a slice along the abdominal cavity. Yes, yes, that ' s good. Remove the stomach please, and get out your rulers ... “Wait a minute. You mean that you want us to measure how many inches long this frog’s stomach is?” “No, of course not ... “Whew!” ... you know we always use metrics in Biology. It’s dissection time! You can ex¬ pect to hear this phrase at least once in your life if you take Biology or Hu¬ man Anatomy. As part of their biological studies, students taking Bi¬ ology are required to dissect and iden¬ tify the parts of a frog. The purpose of this experiment is for students to ob¬ serve the systems, organs, and pro¬ cesses of the unfor¬ tunate creature. The formaldehyde- soaked frogs arrive in plastic bags and are dissected by students under the careful supervision of their teacher. In Human Anato¬ my, students dis¬ sect a pig to observe the similarities be¬ tween the pig and the human diges¬ tive systems. So, for a few weeks out of every year, the teacher gives the students permission to “cut up” in class. Before he will work on a real frog, Jim Reyn¬ olds practices with a model. Hope he doesn’t have an appetite for frog legs. 76 Sophomores Freddy Lee Larry Light Janice Lovell Tammy Mabe Deneen Manns Charlie Marshall Freddie Marshall Kevin Marshall Vance Marshall Adam Martin Charlie Martin Melissa Martin Pam Martin Renee Martin Sharon Martin Teddy McAlexander Chad McCann Jon McHone Timmy Midkiff Amy Mitchell Darrell Mitchell Steve Moore Michelle Morrison Cindy Mullins Lisa Niten Ernie Nowlin Marty Nowlin Pamela Nowlin David Nunn Arnold Overby Stephen B.

Nation¬ wide concern about lung cancer has al¬ tered the policies of smoking at school. When students came back from the summer, they re¬ ceived a very rude awakening. Where¬ as the smoking area had been an area that included all lev¬ els of classmen in the year before, it now would only ac¬ commodate upper¬ classmen with per¬ mits. “Hey, Joe! Can I borrow a smoke?” “What do you mean, Bill, haven ' t you heard the news?” “Are you talking about Ralph and Betty?” “No, stupid, the new rules about smoking. Virginia state law says that you have to be 16 to use tobacco products. Here at the high school you must also be a junior or a senior. ” That doesn’t apply to me, does it?” “It sure does, you’re just a greenie. So, to answer your first question, you can ' t borrow a smoke. ” As the days get colder, students are forced to huddle together for warmth in the smoking area. One student tries to draw out one last puff before returning to class. These students spend rain, snow, or sleet. For chance to unwind from their lunches in the them, this is their the tensions of school, smoking area, come 78 Sophomores Sean Slate Cheryl Smart Willie Smart Darren Smith Melanie Smith Randy Smith Steve Smith Tammy Smith Wayne Smith Sowers Angela Spence Kenneth Spencer Lynn Stevens Brian Stone Steve Stone Mitzi Stove Tony Stove Brian Strickland Lisa Strickland Tal Swails Bessy Tatum Kevin Tatim Marty Taylor Christopher Thomas Larry Trent Linda Trent Mark Trent Chris Tunnell Brian Turman Susan Turman Tammy Van Sutphin Angela Vaughn Glenn Vaughn Chris Vernon Sheila Vipperman Timmy Wade Kristen Walker Marcia Walker Sharon Waller Pam Watkins Randy West Adam Willard Carolyn Williams Ronnie Williams Penny Wilson Jay Young Dee Wood Guy Wood Tracie Wood Angie Woodward Brian Worley Rick Worley Kelvin Wright Sharon Wright J.T.

Driver’s Seat “Oh, oh you are going to drive in the morning. That’s a really nice car you have there. Mag wheels, fuel injec¬ tion, nice paint job. Uh — do you think you could give me a ride?” Everyone knows how unpleasant it is to have to ask oth¬ ers for rides. Any¬ time you want to go to see a movie, go to a friend’s house, or attend a school ac¬ tivity such as a dance or basketball game, you have to ask someone to go to the trouble of taking you and then coming back later to pick you up. Or worse, you run the risk of your ride de- ciding to hang around with you un¬ til your business is done, which can be uncomfortable if your ride is your mother, and your business is secretly meeting your boy¬ friend or girlfriend. Most kids like to ride to school in a car, rather than the bus because it makes them feel important. Some¬ times however, un¬ derclassmen don’t know too many oth¬ er students who drive. It’s probably even worse for those students who are a year younger than driving age, because they are so close to being able to drive themselves around, but not close enough. Since most students have friends the same age, it’s even more difficult to get a ride. There is also the problem of actually getting permission to after you find someone who can drive. Without look¬ ing too far, you will find parents who think their kid should ride the bus until he or a close friend his own age can drive him. Sometimes it is frustrating to be so close to the Driver ' s Seat, without being able to actually sit in it. 84 Freshmen Tangie Setliff Blake Shepard Daree Shough Tim Shough Jay Slate Danny Smith Kevin Smith James Smith Robert Walton Smith Angela Spence David Stanley Scott Stanley Kenneth Steele Tony Stevens Wayne Stevens Renae Stone Jeff Stroika Ellen Stultz Rachel Tatum Jinna Taylor Eric Thomas Nathaniel Thomas Brian Thompson Scott Thompson Susan Thompson Becky Turner Nancy Turner Philip Vaughn Scott Vaughn Timmy Vaughn Nick Vernon Ricky Vernon Brian Wade Dale Walker Joey Walker Melanie Walker Garland West Richard Whitlock David Williams Erik Williams These students work on the senior mural out¬ side the school in their spare time. Time after time, the seniors have chosen to paint their year of graduation on the wall outside the gym entrance. Melissa Hill and Kara Bowman know what it ' s like to keep time. As members of the PCHS Marching Band, they were among some of the top performers in the school. Keeping time was crucial to their performance.

The wait¬ ing was the worst part; he couldn’t stand it much long¬ er. The room began to spin as the boy stumbled about the room. Would he make it? He wasn’t sure . . . could he live through the tor¬ ture? HOW MUCH MORE COULD HE TAKE?? Does this boy have some sort of fatal disease? Why, no! He is waiting in the dreaded . . . LUNCH LINE!! Sorry folks, but unless you are a senior, you must endure that long wait when getting your food. Stomachs growl in unison by fourth period everyday de¬ manding immedi¬ ate nourishment. The more it growls, the harder it is to pay attention in class. Many people break into a quick walking sprint for a good place in the lunch line, but they should always make sure they keep at least one foot on the ground” to stay out of trouble. Until we can find a way to shorten the long wait in the cafeteria, many agree the waiting is the hardest part. “I’ll wait,” says Kari Walton, even though it doesn’t please her. Kari attends the North Carolina School of the Arts and returned to get caught in the confusion. You can run, but you will still be caught up in the long lunch line. Junior Cassell expresses a look of exasperation. It’s hard to be hy¬ peractive when you have to stand in line. 88 Sub-Freshmen Merrill Akers Misty Anderson Wayne Ayers Jeremiah Baldwin Stephanie Baliles Stacey Barbour Susan Barnard Sam Beckett Timmy Bohan Kevin Belcher Darrian Belcher Franklin Bishop Marcia Blackard Billy Bowers David Bowles Lee Bowling Ronald Bowling Amy Bowman Alex Bowman Burt Bowman Cathy Bowman Lonnie Bowman Renee Bowman Sammy Bowman Tracy Bowman Melinda Boyd Melvin Boyd Nathan Branch Tina Branham John Chitwood Lamont Clark Scott Clifton Craig Clontz Bill Cobbler Penny Cobler Janice Cockeram David Collins John Collins Mark Collins Melinda Collins Susan Anne Collins Tracy Collins Gary Conner Robbie Conner Angela Corns Kevin Corns Carol Craig Becky Critz Stacey Culler Bobby Cunningham Brian Davenport LaTonya Davis Jody DeHart Barry Dillon Michele Dillon Stephen Dodson Kevin Dollarhite Chris Dotson Stacey Drewery Jeff Durham John Dewayne Eanes Debbie Eastridge Reva Eckrote Students may be anxious, but they must give the line time to go down.

For eighth- graders, the first day of school can be a traumatic time in strange surround¬ ings. It doesn ' t take long though, for them to become lulled into a false sense of security, and then feel even worse! Just look at the typical attitude of the average eighth-grader. I remember that when I registered for school there was this cute Senior Beta member who showed me where all my classes were. All I want to know is WHERE THE HECK IS SHE NOW!?! I’m lost, hope¬ lessly lost. I can’t find my homeroom class, and at least three bells have al¬ ready rang. Mom brought me to school early so I would be sure to have plenty of time to find my classes. I brought several pencils, and note¬ books, and I’ve got my schedule, and my book rental slip, but ... IT’S NOT GOING TO DOMEA BIT OF GOOD IF I CAN’T FIND MY HOMEROOM!!! I guess I could risk major embar¬ rassment and just go into that room quietly and ask that kind teacher for di¬ rections. “Excuse me, but could you please di¬ rect me to the Ad¬ vanced Biology room? Of course it is, don’t be ridicu¬ lous. I knew that.” So here now I am sitting in my first period class with pencils trimmed and ready to go. I’ve got this whole place figured out now. When the bell rings I just go to second period. OH. OH. Excuse me, but do you know where the World Geogra¬ phy class is?” Melanie Heath goes up for another rebound, as these girls play a game of Basketball during P.E. class. Sports was just one way for eighth-graders to fit in. 90 Sub-Freshmen Punk corner? Punk Rock Day allowed these eighth-graders to strut their stuff during Homecoming Week.

Most eighth grad- ers entering the high school don’t understand student government. How¬ ever, a few brave souls do have the courage to get up in front of their class¬ mates, initially a crowd of strangers, and give a speech that will hopefully catch the eye of their peers. Candidates spend a week cam¬ paigning to try and capture as many votes as possible. The final outcome of the election included Julie Holland as Presi¬ dent, Robert Hiatt, Vice-President, and Sabrina Reynolds as Secretary-Trea¬ surer. These three were willing to work hard for their class, even though the duties and responsibilities for underclass offi¬ cers are few. As Ju¬ lie Holland, Presi¬ dent, stated, “I just want this class to havea lot of fun and do our best as the class of 1991!” 92 Sub-Freshmen Dale Plasters Billy Pritt Stephanie Puckett Timmy Rakes Lisa Ratliff David Rautio Angie Ray Alicia Reynolds Christy Reynolds Curtis Reynolds Erica Reynolds Gracie Reynolds James Reynolds Sabrina Reynolds Cynthia Rhodes Martha Ring Johnathan Roberson Jim Roberson Gwen Rogers Kenneth Roop Jared Rorrer Sherry Rorrer Dianne Sanford Andrea Sawyers Laura Scales Sub-Preshmen 95 The heat is on. Sara Harnsburger and David Harris cool down while Some Like It Hot But we don’t! The heat was un¬ bearable during the last week of Sep¬ tember. All around us schools were re¬ leasing students early but Patrick County was expect¬ ed to endure the hot, humid air. Classroom ther- 96 Sub-Freshmen mometers regis¬ tered at tempera¬ tures over 90 de¬ grees with the shades pulled, the fan on high, and lights turned off. Everyone was going crazy from the heat, as people yelled for the teacher to turn on the air condition¬ er, an impossible task. The heat was on and lines at the water fountain made many tardy for their classes. But, relief came on the last day of Sep¬ tember as an unex¬ pected announce¬ ment interrupted third period class for an early dismiss¬ al. The heat was an extremity of the year. Students real¬ ized, of course, that they would soon be menaced by the cold and would pray for the heaters to warm their feets. Studying in class with a fan was a rare privi¬ lege that students en¬ joyed during the months of oppressing heat.

R. Wright Derek Young The front office is a place associated with where one goes for punish¬ ment. However, there are many more things that go on in a typical day during school. The administration keeps everything running smoothly for the students and faculty. Al¬ though these tasks are not recognized by the students, what would we do without the unend¬ ing assistance of Mrs. Vernon, Mrs. Hawks, Mr. Hiattt, Mr. Dillon, Dr. Rod¬ gers, and Mr. Love? Up Front The front office runs like a well- oiled machine, and functions like the nucleus of the atom. Important tasks are regulated through the front office. Many stu¬ dents relinquish their study hall to work as office assis¬ tants to help things stay organized. In doing so, they also gain invaluable work skills and ex¬ perience. The operation of the front office is a combined effort of many, and provides valuable service to students. Principal James K. Hiatt reviews notes for a morning faculty meeting. Faculty members meet once a month for schedule updates and changes. Daily attendance must be kept on all students and figures calculated to reflect cumulative days for the student body. Julia Ann Ward, Clinic Supervisor, maintains accurate records for students, and Assistant Principal for Instruction, Dr. Sally Rodgers maintains files on faculty attendance. Administrative Secretary Margaret Vernon and Bookkeeper, Jeannie Hawks help keep things running smoothly in the front office. Students as well as faculty members obtain invaluable assistance from both administrative secretaries. Being Assistant Principal in charge of Discipline requires a considerable amount of communication for Bill Dillion, as he “assumes the position to discuss problems with a parent. Supervising the work of others is not an easy task. However, James Love rarely misses any action around school, and assists a number of students and teachers daily. 98 Faculty MRS. JANE AKERS MRS.

Faculty 99 You’ve Got A Friend; Lean On Me An eighth grader is lost on this first day of school. A ninth grader needs to change their class sched¬ ule. A sophomore has a personal prob¬ lem and needs to talk with someone. A junior needs a PSAT form. A senior needs help with a college application. If you have a problem similar to these, the Guid¬ ance Office can help. Assistance comes from Mrs. Tressie Cooper, Mrs. Priscilla Diggs, Mr. Mack George, Mrs. Martha Mar¬ tin, and Mrs. Ella Sue Joyce. “Where is the guidance office? a typical greenie asks. The guidance of¬ fice can be found through the door to the left of the front office doors. The guidance of¬ fice is designed to help students in a time of need. Whether it be per¬ sonal, or simply a conflict in class schedule, the coun¬ selors can help. The service that the guidance de¬ partment provides is an essential part of the students’ needs. As long as the guidance de¬ partment exists, re¬ member, “you’ve got a friend.” Meanwhile, a pe¬ culiar conversation goes on a few doors down the hall. I’ve got a meeting with Mark Twain; I’ll see you later.” “Has anyone heard? Edgar Allan Poe is here at school!” Can this be true? Why, of course it can! Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, and many other au¬ thors can be found in our own library. If you have trou¬ ble finding a book, help is just around the corner. Mrs. Betty Kirkpatrick and Mr. Hobson will offer their assis¬ tance whenever it is needed. The library is full of resources, available to any stu¬ dent who needs them. They include computers, career information, college information, and newspapers and magazines. Teachers can find films and filmstrips that supplement the classroom learning experi¬ ence. Mrs. Judy Knight, the library secretary, organizes the distribution of these audio-visual materials. The library is one of the many places where you can visit many countries and experience many adventures without leaving Patrick County. A wealth of information is stored in the guidance department. Mr. Mack George, Mrs. Tressie Cooper, and Mrs. Priscilla Diggs search for students ' records. Mrs. Judy Knight, library secretary, keeps records for films and rentals. The library operates efficiently with the efforts of Mrs. Betty Kirkpatrick and Mr. Claude Hobson. Many students rely on the resources available for term papers. 100 Faculty Guidance counselors Mrs, Ella Sue Joyce and Mrs. Martha Martin double-check statistics before enter¬ ing them into the computer for storage.

If it doesn’t you have never at¬ tended a pep rally or any sporting event. It ' s not always the students decked out in green and gold and show¬ ing their spirit. The faculty has been known to show en¬ thusiasm from time to time also. The most memorable being a group of ex¬ tremely cool guys strutting across the gym to the tune of Bad to the Bone.” When they began their cheers, chances are the screaming from the crowd was not for the school but for the cheerleaders.” During home¬ coming week, teachers may re¬ semble punkers, clowns, or even hoodlums. Even though they may look like some of the students, you had better remem¬ ber not to treat them like students! Coach James Sawyer and Coach David Clement show off their Cougar pride during a pep rally by forming letters to spell COUGAR. Letters on the coaches’ shirts were printed upside down to remind them which letter to form. As our teachers strutted out onto the gym floor, there were cat calls and whistles. Little did our stu¬ dents know, the best was yet to come. Coaches Mark Redden, E.G. Bradshaw, and James Sawyer completed their Cougar cheer as cheer¬ leaders in the background provide support and crowd encouragement. [ Y 102 Faculty MRS. JUDY KNIGHT MRS. PHYLLIS KODENSKI MR.

Only Human I’m only human, of flesh and blood I’m made. I’m only human, born to make mistakes. That’s what some teachers claim . . . “We’re only hu¬ man.” Even teach¬ ers can have an em¬ barrassing moment or two, or three, or four. The following items are real-life accounts of teach¬ ers who have expe¬ rienced an embar¬ rassing situation . . . in front of their students! “While teaching a unit on alcohol one day right after lunch, I got the hic¬ cups as I was lectur¬ ing to my class.” “I went through an entire day with the seat of my pants ripped out!” The same teach¬ er writes: “During one of Homecom¬ ing Week’s Dress Down Days, I fell in the middle of the classroom because my overalls got hung around a desk. It so hap¬ pened that I was be¬ ing observed that period!” So, you see, teachers can have that one moment of glory just like nor¬ mal people. It only proves, they, like the students, are “ONLY human.” Time is no commodity for Athletic Director Cindy Terry. Fulfilling the requirements of the position demands a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at everyday chaos.

Of these five courses, U.S. History, govern¬ ment, and a choice between world geography and world his¬ tory are required to graduate, thus leaving sociology as the elective. All of the teachers in the so¬ cial studies department com¬ bine to total 83 years of teach¬ ing experience. On the average, each teacher has 11 years of experience. Government examines the basic structures of govern¬ ments with decision-making processes at the local, state, and national levels empha¬ sized. Powers which are inher¬ ent to each governmental branch are examined through the study of the Constitution and its amendments. Beginning with the founding of the Virginia colonies, U.S. History offers studies of the ad¬ vancements and their contrib¬ uting factors of these United States. A major emphasis is placed on the Civil War era. World history studies the world’s advancements begin¬ ning with the discovery of the New World. World geography emphasizes the study of the world’s surface, climate, con¬ tinents, countries, peoples, in¬ dustry, and products. Emphasis is not placed on any one coun¬ try in either course. Sociology deals with human relationships and problems of society which aids students in gaining insight into their own social relationships and envi¬ ronments. Included in the course content is the study of culture, social groups, deviant and collective behavior, Ameri¬ can class structure, minorities, population, ecology, and social institutions. Crime, juvenile de¬ linquency, poverty, and youth problems are also studied. Taking and organizing notes is an students so that no misunderstanding important part of any class. Mrs. will occur in preparation for the Rachel Williamson writes important upcoming test, history notes on the board for her Teachers provide encouragement for students as well as information, and some students rely on the teacher for motivation.

Angie Witt obvious with Mr. Mark Redden’s help. Social Studies Department 109 Utilizing every spare moment, Amy Hopkins looks over her chemistry notes one more time prior to taking Mr. Kloock’s test. Blinded Me With Science Courses in the Science De¬ partment include physical sci¬ ence, earth science, biology, human anatomy and physiol¬ ogy, modern chemistry, phys¬ ics, and computer science. Physical science is present¬ ed as a general introduction to a laboratory class in which stu¬ dents are encouraged to ob¬ serve, record, and draw conclu¬ sions from various activities which they carry out. While learning the basics of chemis¬ try and physics, students par¬ ticipate in activities to build models, conduct experiments, and perform demonstrations. Earth science involves the study of the earth, its composi¬ tion, land formations, weather, and oceans. Emphasis in this class is placed on terminology and laboratory activities to help reinforce concepts. Biology is a required science course in which students draw conclusions from individual and group investigations. The course helps students to relate to the environment and devel¬ op an understanding of cells, genetics, and interrelation¬ ships of plants and animals. In human anatomy and physiology, students explore the structure and functioning of the human body while in chemistry, a study of the com¬ position, occurrence, and utili¬ zation of natural and man¬ made resources of the universe is made. Physics is designed to dem¬ onstrate the relationship be¬ tween natural phenomena and mathematics. Future occur¬ ences are predicted with math¬ ematical formulas. Computer science provides a brief history of computers as well as a short description of changes in hardware. Students also gain experience in pro¬ gramming techniques using BASIC language. Computer science provides opportu- errors in his program, Alan Hiatt dis- nities for students to learn BASIC pro- covers a problem in the programming gramming skills.

As a required course to com¬ plete requirements for gradu¬ ation from high school, stu¬ dents are offered a number of choices with which to fulfill these requirements. Students have a choice be¬ tween three different levels of English; levels are based on de¬ grees of difficulty. Regular, ba¬ sic, and advanced courses are options, and students’ choices are approved upon the teach¬ ers ' recommendation. AP English, or advanced placement English, was intro¬ duced for students who wish to attend a four year college or university. However, AP English is not required for graduation. The English department in¬ cludes Mrs. Phyllis Eastridge, Department Chairman, Mrs. Lisa Martin, Miss Brenda Mar¬ tin, Mrs. Elizabeth Warren, Mr. George Rigney, Mr. Nelson McConnell, Mr. Greg O’Bryan, Mrs. Amy Shelor, Miss Marsha Honeycutt, Mrs. Polly Tatum, and Mr. Mike Larson. Research papers require a great deal of time and assistance. Sophomore April Hill relies on suggestions from Mrs. Phyllis Eastridge to enhance the required research paper. Students use the library for a num¬ ber of reasons, and often, class time is scheduled in the library. Mr. George Rigney discusses time arrangements with Mr. Claude Hobson, librarian. Dividing time between English and directing student activities, Miss Bid- gie Buchanan finds a free moment to straighten her desk. 112 English Department Advanced placement English poses a challenge for many seniors. Angie Pendleton, Graham Witt, and Sandy Collins pay close attention to the lec¬ ture in anticipation of the weekly test. English Department 113 Give It All You Got To enroll in a foreign lan¬ guage course, a student should maintain a “C” average in Eng¬ lish. Foreign language courses offered include Spanish l-V, In¬ troduction to Latin, Latin l-lll, and French I. Spanish classes give primary emphasis to the oral aspects of the language. Progressive classes focus on refining pro¬ nunciation and demonstrating a greater ability to communi¬ cate in Spanish. Conversations, readings and writings in the language are the exclusive means of communication in Spanish IV. French I helps to develop speaking ability and listening comprehension through simple conversation, structured drills, and class discussion. In addi¬ tion, cultural aspects are stud¬ ied to develop an interest in reading for enjoyment and comprehension. Latin offers a unique oppor¬ tunity for students to study the language, literature, and cul¬ ture of the ancient Romans. The Romans are a people who have so notably influenced and contributed to the development of the Western civilization, cul¬ ture, and language. With ap¬ proximately sixty percent of English words derived from Lat¬ in, a study of this language greatly contributes to the com¬ mand of the English language. 114 Foreign Language Department ' wcigii mugudgc provide more than simply learning to speak a language other than English. V.P.I. Air Force cadet Jeff Love explains to Tim Britt the advantage of studying a foreign language and the benefits of taking college achievement tests to minor in Spanish or other languages. Learning common expressions in a foreign language makes class more interesting and also helps students to relate to other cultures by understanding that others speak much like Americans do. While reading a chapter story, Monica Belcher chuckles at the similarity of the expressions. Hearing conversational Spanish is helpful to students who are learning to speak the language. Mitch Lawson, Julie Harris, and Bill Carter follow the text as they listen to a Spanish recording.

Students are exposed to paint¬ ing, printmaking, sculpting, ce¬ ramics, and other crafts. Em¬ phasis is on learning to use the materials, tools and procedures to achieve the end product. In Art II and III, more emphasis is placed on the finished product and on art history. Band I introduces students to the study of instrumental music and each student is taught elementary music. Oth¬ er levels of band provide in- depth studies of instrumental music with design and compo¬ sition explored. Directed by Mr. Bill Pons and accompanied by the flag corps, the Marching Pride takes the field for an exhibition show at the local band competition. 116 Art Music Department An area band competition hosted by the Cougar Marching Pride, gave the band an opportunity to perform in an exhibition show at the end of the competition. Janie Jackson, Nancy Turner, April Hill, and Christina Fraraccio pay particular attention to their steps prior to travelling to Franklin County for a second competition of the day. Under the direction of Miss Amy Carter, art classes learn a variety of art processes and procedures including sculpting, painting, and printmaking. Beginning students explore basic methods in sketching and are allowed to individually progress. Band courses require more than simply practice; they require extra time and effort with hours of performance following hours of practice. After a Veteran’s Day assembly, Robbie Williams and Cindy Crissman return their own chairs to the band room. Art Music Department 117 Invisible Physical education is taught in conjunction with health in eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. A progressive curriculum en¬ ables each grade level to build upon foundations laid the pre¬ vious year. Instruction in phys¬ ical education is offered in life¬ time sports, or sports which have carryover value in adult life. Touch Health courses include stud¬ ies in personal hygiene, body systems, drugs, infection and chronic disease, and personal and family survival. Ninth grad¬ ers complete a semester of first aid, and tenth graders com¬ plete a semester of mental health in addition to driver edu¬ cation. Volleyball is covered in physical education with a progression of skills emphasized each year. Marty Nowlin, sophomore, attempts a spike to his opponents during class play-offs. To satisfy one of the Virginia Standards of Learning, eighth and ninth grade students gain exposure to rhythmic activities including square dance, line and circle dances, and exercise routines. Several of Mrs. Barbara Pendleton’s students dance with Mr. Rick Mullins’ students to demonstrate a circle dance for the remainder of the class. 118 Health and Physical Education Department Execution of precision moves in opponents who are unprepared for his volleyball wins games. Brad Klontz surprise spike, provides a lesson in strategy for his Health and Physical Education Department 119 Included in the mathematics department are progressive courses from math to calculus. Pre-algebra, Algebra II and Trigonometry, mathematical analysis, and consumer math are also choices for students. Math courses, designed to teach arithmetic concepts in addition, subtraction, multipli¬ cation, and division, also im¬ prove students’ skills in arith¬ metic and introduce students to basic concepts of algebra and geometry. Pre-algebra is designed to prepare students for Algebra I, T I You Trip Me Up and Algebra 11 Trigonometry provides opportunities for stu¬ dents to maintain skill in math¬ ematical proof, to maintain and improve algebraic skills, and to increase interest in the study of mathematics. Also included is the study of logarithmic, expo¬ nential, and trigonometric functions, an introduction to analytical geometry, and practi¬ cal applications of algebra and trigonometry. Mathematical analysis is an advanced mathematics course intended to prepare students for college mathematics while calculus is an advanced level course designed to give the col¬ lege bound senior a sufficient background in calculus includ¬ ing differentiation and integra¬ tion. As a practical course for stu¬ dents, consumer math strengthens math skills which are useful in everyday life. In¬ cluded topics in the course of study are family cash records, banking, loans, buying and sell¬ ing problems, wage-income tax, and property tax. Looking for some assurance that he has copied the correct notes, Anthony Burkhart glances at Ginny Williams’ notes. Mrs. Mary Jane Taylor continues the lecture in math analysis as other students verify if what they write” is actually “what they are hearing.” 120 Math Department Algebra 11 Trigonometry students find that the pace does not slow down simply because of August heat. With a fan positioned in the window to at least stir the air, Mr. Chip Graves continues his explanations of sine, cosine, and tangent. Discussing students’ progress in other classes can sometimes provide insights into teaching methods used in class. Mrs. Inez Byrd discusses math teaching techniques with English and science teacher, Mrs. Lisa Astrop. Working a problem on the board can sometimes diffuse an algebra problem. While working the problem, Mrs. Phyllis Kodenski explains how to convert fractions to whole numbers with fractions to obtain a final answer. Math Department 121 Just What I Needed Although some may believe that the Vocational Department is extraneous, others find it to be essential in more ways than one. The Vocational Depart¬ ment offers six vocational ser¬ vice areas including Argicul- ture, Business, Marketing, Home Economics, Trades and Industrial Education, and Ex¬ ploratory courses in Technology Education. The Trades and In¬ dustrial Education area in¬ cludes Cosmetology, Electron¬ ics, Building Trades, and Auto Mechanics. All of the services areas, se- cept Exploratory courses in Technology Education, prepare the student to seek a job in whatever area he is studying without attending college. For example, students enrolled in Building Trades spend their school year building houses for sale. Students who take Mar¬ keting courses leave school early to gain experience in the work place. The Vocational Department exceeds regular classes by of¬ fering membership in a variety of student organizations and clubs. These organizations sup¬ plement the student’s prepara¬ tion for future occupations. Elementary students provide oppor¬ tunities for cosmetology students to practice newly acquired skills in hair styling. Patricis Penn utilizes her tal¬ ent at cutting hair while a nervous cli¬ ent awaits the results. Confidently, Lisa Handy, with scis¬ sors in hand, proceeds to style and cut the hair of an elementary schooler. Cutting techniques are but a few skills gained in cosmetology classes. 122 Vocational Department Electronics classes provide opportu¬ nities for students to gain hands-on experience with a variety of electronic devices. Jason Cockram and Shane Gwynn experiment with an oscillo¬ scope. Vocational classes offer welding as a choice of trades. Mike Penn carefully practices welding techniques as smoke fills the room. In addition to trades classes offered by the vocational department, busi¬ ness classes are also an option for students. Typing term papers is easy for Rodney East because of the tech¬ nical knowledge he gains in typing class. Vocational Department 123 124 Organizations Divider As the trumpet section of the marching band carries the tune, Benny Puckett, David Nunn, Billy Adams, Rodney East, Mike Hylton, Todd Fanning, and Mark Shough set the rhythm as the percussion section. The Marching Cougar Pride performed in exhibition for the local band competition. Maintaining her pose for the photographer, Cindy Radford patiently awaits the cue to smile. After quieting the student body, SCA President, Graham Witt gets down to business. During the Back-to-School assembly, new faculty members were introduced and students were welcomed to a new year. Making your way in the world today Takes everything you got Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot, Wouldn’t you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go where Everybody knows your name And they ' re always glad you came You want to be where people know that People are all the same You want to go where everybody knows your name.

The main project of the year was the preparation of a slide tape pre¬ sentation. The pur¬ pose of the presen¬ tation is to promote interest in the club and the Business Department as a whole. Several projects of the club have been the an¬ nual FBLA booth at the Patrick County Agricultural Fair, which won third place this year, and also the preparation of the display case at the entrance of the vocational building. September was a month to make plans for the club. The club traveled to VA Tech for the Re- gional Planning Conference. Also, plans were made for the money making project. FBLA mem¬ bers, with much success, sold vari¬ ous items that could be used for Christ¬ mas gifts. Members partici¬ pated in the Christ¬ mas Parade and collection of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets as projects. The baskets collected were given to needy families throughout the county. A new honor the club offered in the last year was the Outstanding Busi- ness Student award. Each six weeks students are nominated by their teacher to be the outstanding stu¬ dent. After comple¬ tion of an applica¬ tion, reference forms, and an inter¬ view, a student is chosen. The top stu¬ dent is presented a plaque during the next FBLA club meeting. March was the month in which members competed with other schools in the region in vari¬ ous competitions. The State Leader¬ ship Conference in Richmond, and the annual FBLA COE Banquet were held in April. The ban¬ quet is held each year to recognize COE Employers and to install officers for the coming year. 126 FBLA FBLA members Angie Witt, Sandy Trent, and Revonda Williams talk busi¬ ness during an Accounting class. Anita Martin and Pamela Roberson prepare a program for Business Com¬ puter Applications.

FBLA 127 Sharon Helms, extension agent, is shown delivering her presentation or Food Preservation to the FHA club Working For The purpose of the Future Home¬ makers of America is to help students to live better. The club is organized of students who like to share club time with others who are interested in the same things. For a fund raiser the club sold calen¬ dars and datebooks in late October and early November. The money was needed for the field trip to Chinqua- Penn Plantation near Reidsville, N.C. The club also had such service projects as planting flowers and other community related ideas. The organization planned interesting meetings every month. There was a Christmas party in December with offi¬ cer elections and a talent show to fol¬ low in March and April. There were different types of speakers at the FHA meetings, ranging from Jay Gregory to a Mary Kay representative. The Mother-Daugh¬ ter Banquet was planned for April 9, 1987. Opposite the FHA club is the FFA club, the Future Farmers of Amer¬ ica. The club is or¬ ganized of students who are studying vocational agricul¬ ture. It helps stu¬ dents develop lead¬ ership, character, sportsmanship, ag¬ ricultural skills, and patriotism. Feder¬ ation contests were held in forestry, tractor driving, leadership, creed speaking, parlia¬ mentary procedure, public and extem¬ poraneous speak¬ ing, and dairy judg¬ ing. If the students won the federation contests in their categories, they would attend the area contests in their categories. During June, mem¬ bers of the club at¬ tended the FFA con¬ vention in Blacks¬ burg, Virginia. This was followed by the FFA Chapter Picnic and FFA-FHA camp held during the third week of July in Smithfield, Virginia. While at camp they visit Virginia Beach, Busch Gardens, and take a Harbor Cruise on the Smith river.

FFA FHA 129 Leaders Of The Pack The school offers the Vocational In¬ dustrial Club of America (VICA) for students enrolled in trade and industrial education pro¬ grams. The individ¬ ual sections of the VICA club are Auto Mechanics, Cosme¬ tology, Building trades, and Elec¬ tronics. The entire club usually meets three times a year, with separate sec¬ tions meeting the remaining months. The auto me¬ chanics part of the club carried out sev¬ eral projects this year. Their major service project was to help stranded motorists in the county and on school grounds. Among the projects carried out in VICA, the cosmetology club helped the spe¬ cial education stu¬ dents on good grooming. Building trades built storage rooms for agriculture classes as a com¬ munity project. As a field trip the Build¬ ing trades section of VICA traveled to the Glazed products plant in Martinsville in the spring. Throughout the year electronics carried out many service projects. The club projects included installing the control unit in the electronic scoreboard, work¬ ing the lights for Share the Fun, and the lights and sound for the Miss Patrick County Beauty Pageant. Electronics also the microphones for the assemblies and pep rallies. Another club that works to develop leadership is the Distributive Educa¬ tion Club of Amer¬ ica (DECA). For the DECA club, the fall officers Training Conference was held at Patrick Hen¬ ry Community Col¬ lege. There were workshops to help each officer. In October a DECA District Fall Rally was held at the Roll-A-Bout skating rink. For a fund raising project the DECA club sold raffle tick¬ ets to give away a load of wood. Also, as a community ser¬ vice project the club collected food, toys, and clothes for needy people at Christmas.

Heather In¬ man takes time to explain to her friend when the next game is. Never Surrender Usually, athletes are referred to as dumb jocks.” Nothing could be further from the truth. A great deal of talent, dedica¬ tion, and a little luck for good measure are needed to be an athlete. The Monogram Club is made up of these athletes who have lettered in a varsity sport. The club is an opportunity for the school to show appreciation to the athletes for their hard work and effort. Most people think the mem¬ bers sit around in the meetings and discuss sports. Even though this is true some of the time, they do deal with other things. The Special Olympics held each spring is an excellent example. For the physically handicapped and learning im¬ paired, one day in the school year stands out most vividly in their minds, the day the Special Olympics is held. Saying that the day is successful is to make an understatement. Each per¬ son involved, whether a club member or an Olympian, real¬ ize that you should always per¬ form with pride. Also, a field trip was planned in the fall. On November 22, the club traveled to Groves Sta¬ dium in Winston-Salem to see an ACC football game between Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. In the last game of the season Wake rallied to a win over Tech. For all it was a f un experience. We might even have a few promising movie stars in our midst as the camera fell upon several Cougars as the game was televised. The day was not completely filled with races and games. Jenny Foley and her partner share a moment of relaxation together between events. 132 Monogram Front Row: Coach Clement, Alan Hiatt (Pres.), Mike Wimbush (Vice Pres.), Connie Bird (Sec.), Coach Culler.

Each senior, junior, and second semester sopho¬ more with a 3.5 grade point average or an average of a 92 is invited to be¬ come a member. Over the year, Be¬ tas must participate in at least three ser¬ vice projects. These three projects in¬ clude help to our el¬ derly, participation in the Old-Fash¬ ioned Christmas and sale of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The purpose of the money making projects is to raise funds so that the club can attend an annual convention of the Beta Clubs of Virginia. This year the State Conven¬ tion was held in Wil- liamsburg where Patrick County’s own Andy Shelton presided as State Beta President. Not only do the Betas enjoy the state convention, but in June some PC Betas attended the National Beta Convention held in Washington, D.C. The club hopes to return to the nation¬ al convention in 1987, which will be in Louisville, Ken¬ tucky. The Senior Beta Club is not the only academic honor so¬ ciety at Patrick County High School. Any 8th, 9th, or first semes¬ ter 10th grader with a grade point aver¬ age of 3.5 can be¬ come a member of Junior Beta. Though the club has been cut back to only four sched¬ uled meetings a year, the Junior Be¬ tas worked hard to complete projects and carry out their plans to participate in the old-fashioned Christmas. Sometimes Betas do not get the rec¬ ognition they de¬ serve. Actually Pat¬ rick County should applaud them. They are our future lead¬ ers and they are do¬ ing a great job.

Art club members participated in sev¬ er a I activities throughout the year. One such ac¬ tivity was to attend the Art Mobile ex¬ hibit offered at the Reynolds Home¬ stead. They also un¬ dertook several projects to beautify the school. For their field trip, they vis¬ ited the North Caro¬ lina Museum of Art in Raleigh to en¬ Drama club member Kris Larsen asks Coach Mike Larsen for assis¬ tance on reading some hance their art ap¬ preciation. Drama students, under the direction of Mike Larson, have enjoyed the re¬ turn of their valued director. Though they have not had many opportunities to meet throughout the year, the Drama club members man¬ aged to stay in¬ volved with school activities. For their club project, the club arranged and produced a dinner theater. They also competed and did very well in One-Act Play competition held in the fall. lines from a scene in the senior play. Mr. Larsen was taken in by Kris’ per¬ formance. In an Art club meeting, Allen Weidhas, a guest speaker, explains the techniques used in his wood carving. These Art club mem¬ bers were true blue when they realized what some of their projects were. 136 Art Discussing club busi¬ ness with the rest of the officers, President Tara Massie presides over the Art club.

This club was orga¬ nized for the Spe¬ cial Education stu¬ dents. Being in¬ volved in this club, any club, helps them become more involved with their school and commu¬ nity. In the spring of 1986 the club members traveled to the Reynolda House, which is lo¬ cated in Winston Salem, North Caro¬ lina. For the spring of 1987 the club traveled to Dixie Caverns at Salem, VA. The Cougar Re¬ view staff is, in a With the Pride sense, reaching for a new horizon. Now, the paper looks more like the type you would buy on the street. The Cou¬ gar Review Staff de¬ cided on this style for a number of rea¬ sons. They felt that last year’s paper looked more like a literary magazine than a newspaper. The new style looks more professional and adds a new im¬ age to the paper. The type is cleaner, and the size allows better use of pic¬ tures. The cost is actually less expen¬ sive, too. The re¬ sponse has been positive to the change; therefore, they plan to contin¬ ue the “new” style. To help improve the quality of the newspaper, the Cougar Review Staff traveled to a workshop held at the University of Virginia on the 25 and 26 of October. The staff learned a great deal at this ex¬ cellent workshop, from revising fea¬ ture techniques to developing an im¬ proved method for layouts. With the new techniques and changes, these two clubs are opening the door to their new horizons.

Precision and perfect timing were essential for their performance. Under the in¬ struction of Mark Donnell, the flag corps and ma¬ jorettes had a very prosperous year. Captains Robin Roberts and Karen Boyd choreogr aphed dance moves into their routine to add spunk and class. The PCHS flag corps and ma¬ jorettes competed in four band compe¬ titions. The most successful of these competitions was the Wake Forest University Tourna¬ ment of Bands, where the flag corps and Tammy Greer alone as majorette both dominated and returned with 1st place. Once again, Tammy displayed her talent at For- bush High School by bringing 2nd place home. First place also belonged to our two majorettes at the Franklin County High School Band Competition. Both flags and m a - jorettes faired well at Ferrum College, but as at Franklin County, awards were not given. 1986 was a year when the flag corps and majorettes proved they were an important part of our Marching Cou¬ gar Pride. 140 Majorettes y r • - .«• ‘Y ' ' ♦ ' « ' V, .4 ' • • ' li V- V . , %• V • J v ' Flag Corps member Kristi Hall says, Don ' t ask me why! as she walks like an Egyptian.

Once again this summer, the Cougar Band at¬ tended Mid-Atlantic Band Front Camp held on the campus of Ferrum College. Our band worked with different in¬ structors to perfect the percussion, ma¬ jorette, and flag part, as well as the drill design of their show. The musical selections for this past year were Ac- ci6n, Soul Man, What Kind Of Fool Am I?, and the ever popular song, The Entertainer. Besides camp, the band continued work on the pro¬ gram by organizing after-school prac¬ tices and night practices. Was the season worth all the work and strain? The band competed at four competitons this year. They trav¬ eled to Franklin County High School and ran away with the honor of first place for the band and also first place for the majorettes. Competing at the Ferrum College In¬ vitational Competi¬ tion once again proved fruitful. The Patrick County Marching Cougar Pride Band took home second place. Our two majorettes, as well as the Flag Corps, captured first place at the Wake Forest Uni¬ versity Tournament of Bands. The fourth band compe¬ tition attended this year was at Forbush High School were our majorettes placed second. For the fall, the Cougar Band had a small break from competition, giving them a chance to practice for the an¬ nual Christmas pa¬ rade in Stuart. De¬ spite day after day of the torture of marching in the rays of the summer sun, and repetition of the show until it was just right, the members must ad¬ mit it was all worth it. They faired well in everything they did. The band showed their school spirit, and they have every reason to be called our Cougar Pride. Leading the Cougar Band before a basket¬ ball ga me, Renee Ko- denski sympathizes with other members who complain of being so tired. 142 Band Who says that the only people that watch band competitions are par¬ ents and other bands? It ' s fun for all ages, as little Shannon Terry stands fascinated at the scene before her. The trumpet section stands at attention on the football field before the Fall Band Competi¬ tion begins. Majorettes Tammy Greer and Rayna Hed- gecock show their adept skill at maneuvering their equipment. They, as well as the entire band, fared extremely well at this competition. Band 143 The theme that the Student Council Association (SCA) chose is “Strive for Excellence . . . Fol¬ low Your Dreams.” The SCA is the only organization in which the entire school student body belongs. The coun¬ cil supervises the school clubs each year to see if they meet the standards established by the members. They also coordinate assem¬ blies and other stu- dent activities. Their purpose is to promote a better understanding be¬ tween the adminis¬ tration, the faculty, and the students; to encourage good school spirit; to pro¬ mote democracy and opportunity for student coopera¬ tion throughout the school; and to keep the student body well informed of all student activities. Each year the student council sets goals that they are to meet during the Follow Your Dreams school year. They planned to establish a school emblem, a non-smoking area, and a S.A.D.D. Chapter. They also are in charge of the Computer Match and the Talent Show, both of which are big successes with the students. This year, to help raise money, in¬ stead of selling magazines, the Krispy-Kreme Donut Drive was held which was fi¬ nancially profitable for the organization. Another organiza¬ tion which is primar¬ ily concerned with students ' interests is the Library club. The goal of this or¬ ganization is to help make the library a more enjoyable and comfortable place to study or read. They also want to help promote the reading of all the lit¬ erature. Most students join the club be¬ cause they enjoy working in the envi- SCA President Graham Witt listens attentively as Miss Buchanan gives her opinion on current SCA policy. ronment of the li¬ brary. Library aides are club members who relinquish their study hall period to work in the library. The club had a very productive candy sale, and the profits they made helped them com¬ plete their service projects including making tapes for the learning disabil¬ ities class to use, donating $15.00 to the Multi-Disci¬ plinary Team of Patrick County, $15.00 to educa¬ tional television of Virginia.

It’s Weird Science We are entering an age where more careers in the field of science are be¬ coming available. For this reason, the Science Club invites students who are interested in this field to join. Each month there are in¬ formative meetings about the latest ad¬ vancements in the world of science. “We try to have in¬ teresting people to speak, rather than make it like a busi¬ ness meeting,” says sponsor, Rendy Wil¬ liams. Over the year there was plenty for the club members to do. Besides par¬ ticipation in the Old-Fashioned Christmas, the club traveled to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to the Morehead Planetarium. The trip was not only fun and interesting, but educational as well. Those interested in careers in the Health Care field may be interested in the Health Ca¬ reers Club, which is open to students in grades 8 through 12. This organiza¬ tion involves itself in service projects at the Blue Ridge Nursing Home, do¬ nations to The Red Cross Blood Drive, and other commu¬ nity related events. The members’ common interest in their community is the pure backbone of the club. The group assembles to explore goals and requirements of a career in health. Al¬ though the club is not as large as some, the efforts of the members made the year a success. Science Club members listen attentively as they prepare to discuss their next order of business.

If you take a foreign language, you will know all sorts of new words. A sec- ond language broadens horizons, and teaches stu¬ dents about other cultures and peo¬ ple. The Spanish club had many projects this year. Members sold hot cider and drinks at the Old- Fashioned Christ¬ mas celebration. Also for Christmas, the club members collected toys for needy children in the county. Money was made for the club funds by the sale of cook¬ books and kitchen apparel. With the money made, the club traveled to William Fleming High School to watch the Ballet Folklorico de Mex¬ ico. The dance was very colorful and she danced across the sand symbolic. Also, for the first time this year the club sponsored not two exchange stu¬ dents, but three. The students ar¬ rived in January and resided in Patrick County for three months. Latin club has had a number of sponsors through¬ out the years. This year the sponsor is Ms. Maria Oden. She has added a spark of determina¬ tion to the club, and a different atmo¬ sphere has arisen in club meetings. The club president, Cheryl Bingman, has put together ac¬ tivities for the club as a whole. They in¬ clude a slide pre¬ sentation presented by Mr. James Sawyer, a fund raiser of selling tee- shirts with foreign slogans and a visit with Mrs. Ella Sue Joyce, a former Latin teacher.

The nonchalance was easy, but the enthu¬ siasm was hard to muster. Spirits were soon dashed, how¬ ever, at the pros¬ pect of selling ads. “$100 worth of ads a piece and that means everyone! demanded Staff ad¬ visor Beverly Dil¬ lard. If the staff thought selling ads was hard, they were totally unprepared for generating stu¬ dent interest and even more unpre¬ pared for putting to¬ gether a quality book that would come back on time and doing it with a staff of 10 mem¬ bers. On the weekend of October 24-25, the Archive staff journeyed to a workshop in Char¬ lottesville for some major help on year¬ book technique. The program, held at the University at Virginia, was a good opportunity for the staff to develop new skills. And although the staff spent the night at the Char¬ lottesville Hilton and sought relax¬ ation in the tub and heated in-door swimming pool, it was only after long hours at layout workshops that last¬ ed until 11 P.M. The staff tried to incorporate some new ideas into the production. But fighting Mother Na¬ ture and deadlines curbed production. “One of the biggest problems is, of course, the weath¬ er, and the lack of response to the yearbook,” said Be¬ verly Dillard. “No one seems to real¬ ize the effort that must go into this project.” Hopefully, the student body was pleased with the Special Edition, will look back on 1986-1987 as a truly banner year, and will bring new interest to the year¬ book. As a staff with a majority of se¬ niors, this yearbook was in a way, our swan song, our fina¬ le, as you might call it. For us, this would be the one that would stay with us if not forever, for a very long time. These were our Songs in the Attic. Visit the madhouse!

Although the team’s 2-8 record does not re¬ flect this statement, the Cou¬ gars laid foundation for a solid program under the guidance of first year coach Richard Sa- vedg e. Also joining Savedge this year were Rick Mullins, Nelson Moore, and Mark Redden who all were an integral part of the cougar football team. Under the guidance of the four new coaches, it took a while for both players and coaches to adapt to the others. The Cougars showed signs of a vastly improved team under their new coaches but their in¬ experience was also very evi¬ dent at times. The Cougar’s leading rusher was Jeff Houchins. Bert Stan¬ ley led the team in touchdowns and interceptions while senior Mike Luckado led the team in tackles. Other leaders for the Cougars were senior Graham Witt, Terry Harris, Kirk Gray, Timmy Barnwell, Freddy Mar¬ shall, Chip Booker, Randy West, and Shawn Arnder. Stanley and Luckado went on to represent the team on the All-Piedmont defensive unit, and also received All-Region Honorable mention. When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going!

In most programs, that point is a junior varsity squad. If our past J.V. football team is any indica¬ tion of the future, our varsity team has much to look forward to. As coaches, Coach Sawyer and Coach Larson worked long hours with the team to whip them into shape. For the players being a mem¬ ber of the team wasn’t just coming to practices, but also supporting the team, some¬ times even from the bench. One player said, “This is my starting ground for playing var¬ sity. With any luck, I’ll be good enough to start when I move up.” Dedication, determina¬ tion, and domination, the three D’s of any sport, and especially of junior varsity football.

These coaches and their talents led the team to a 5-5 district record and a 6-14 record overall. The team was fairly exper¬ ienced with seniors Becky Reynolds, Anita Vipperman, and Sandra Woods, four ju¬ niors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. Junior Tracy Reynolds led the, Cougarettes in scoring with 224 points in the regular season. Becky Reynolds led the team in tour¬ nament play with 23 points. The season started off slowly but seemed to pick up pace as the games progressed. One of the most memorable games came when the Cougarettes defeated Bassett at home 52- 50. Their main rival, Martins¬ ville, was not defeated this year but the team played two close games with a span of six and ten points. In the first round of district play-offs, the Cougarettes fought a winning battle against Tunstall with a score of 51-37. Defeat was to follow, though, as they lost a well-played game to Martinsville. The ladies showed their skills in the final game and definitely ended their season positively.

In his first year as coach he displayed the talent of this team as well as his own. The Cougars were led in scor¬ ing by first year starter Sabrina Reynolds with 191 points. She was followed by veteran Me¬ lanie Woods with 148 points. The defeat against Martins¬ ville really brought out the drive these ladies possessed. They waded through bad calls and technicals to win the game at the last second.

This was to be no easy task, considering that at least two teams in the district were ranked in the top ten in the state. This, however, did not intimidate the team.

This team unity was one of the things that inspired the team to their victories. The support of the fans did not hurt either. In fact, senior guard Alan Hiatt summed it up with this, The crowd is what keeps us going. All we have to do is hear the crowd, and that makes us work that much harder.

Two new coaches headed the ball clubs this year. Jim Sawyer coached the eighth and ninth grade squad while Rick Mullins lead the JV team. JV and the eighth and ninth grade teams put in long hours to achieve their success, and their determination earned them support and respect of their fans. Even though these years may not seem productive, they are very important to the future success of our basket¬ ball program. To be prepared for these fu¬ ture successes, the JV Cou¬ gars began early. The prac¬ tices were tough, and the competition was even rougher, but the young Cougars stuck it out. As relatively new players, the players entered the sea¬ son with an abundance of en¬ thusiasm and support for each other. This was a morale booster and a spirit lifter for the Cougar team with little ex¬ perience.

A kip is only one of the many require¬ ments for a bar routine. As Nicki Howell does a handstand, her whole world is turned upside down. It appears to be that gymnas¬ tics is a dying sport, but not in the hearts of ourgymnasts. The Piedmont District Champions could not even defend their ti¬ tle because there was no other team in the district. Bassett dropped their gymnastics pro¬ gram this year due to lack of interest and thus left the gym¬ nastics team with little compe¬ tition. Despite this, the enthusi¬ asm for the team was stronger than ever. The team consisted of nine varsity and twelve junior varsity gymnasts. These diehard tum¬ blers had a season of three meets, as opposed to the six of last year. The fever was running so high that the team broke the school record in their very first meet held at Fieldale-Collins- ville. For their second meet, the team traveled to Drewry Mason where they were defeated by only 3.9 points. Our gymnasts went on to represent the Pied¬ mont District in the Region III Meet at William Byrd. Despite a loss at this particular meet, sev- eral gymnasts placed. Lisa Handy placed third on the floor exercise; Revonda Williams earned third place on the un¬ even parallel bars. Cindy Rad¬ ford took second on bars and second all-around. Sandy Col¬ lins captured second place on the balance beam. With their quality performances, Radford and Collins earned the privilege to advance to state competi¬ tion. It was the true determina¬ tion of the team that allowed the team to pick themselves up after the falls, and hold the Piedmont District title with pride. Gymnastics 169 Got A Hold On Me “Wrestling is one of the most, if not the most, demanding sports that improves your quickness, bal¬ ance, and your co¬ ordination.” That’s right, wrestling is a very exciting sport, as any wrestler will testify. It took hours of weight training and practice to prepare for the demanding matches. Along with the physical condition¬ ing, the wrestlers needed a good deal of mental prepara¬ tion. It takes a lot of con¬ centration to ready yourself for the opponent,” com¬ mented one wrestler. Beginning wrestlers might have been ignorant of the proper moves and holds at the start of the season, but as they progressed they learned how to make all the right moves. According to the wrestlers, weight is of lit¬ tle or no importance. They seemed to feel that even if they weighed 300 pounds and didn’t know the moves, they wouldn’t be any good. This attitude, along with hard work, were what paid off during the season for the team. In fact, nine of the eleven Cougar wrestlers; Steven Cox, Robbie Mitchell, Kenny Bird, Tony Handy, Ja¬ son Keesee, Robbie Wil¬ liams, Adam Martin, Randy West, and Shawn Arnder, all qualified for Regionals. Shawn Arnder’s perfor¬ mance at Regionals was good enough to send him to state competition. With grappling wrestlers like these, it was easy for them to get a hold on you. Struggling furiously Tony Handy’s opponent tries to escape from the deadly Handy Hold.

Even though the golf team gets little support from the Cou¬ gar fans, they continue to work as hard as any other team. A 2-8 record emphasises the inexperience and youth the team possesses but does not begin to express the potential of this Cougar team. Since the school does not have a green, the golfers must practice at Horse Pasture and Gordon Trent. Their matches are played at Gordon Trent also which cuts down on the fan support. There were a couple of memorable happenings. Coach Culler stated that the win over Martinsville was very mean¬ ingful . Also, Rodney Fanning qualified for the Regionals by placing seventh and shooting an 84 in the District Tourna¬ ment.

Not many people flock to Dehart Park to see the school match¬ es, nor are many people aware of the Cougars’ second place district standing last year or the second place regional standing two years ago. Both times the Cougars were second only to their big time rivals, the Mar¬ tinsville Bulldogs. The Bulldogs put the only two blemishes on the Cougars ' impressive record of 11-2. Many tennis team members agree that Martins¬ ville’s outstanding facilities give the Bulldogs the advan¬ tage. But that doesn’t stop the Cougar determination. Four seniors composed the starting six: Joey Lindsey, David Hill, Keith Gunter, and Susan Bowling. Number one seed, Joey Lindsey, received the Most Valuable Player Award. The Most Improved Player Award went to Randy West. The team’s hard work and practice in the cold winter months and early spring boost¬ ed the team to succeed and overcome the disadvantage of the lack of tennis facilities. The overall record says it all — the Cougars were Playing to Win. Senior Joey Lindsey follows through on this topspin forehand. Joey led the team as the number one seed and team captain. Mike Joyce, the sole junior on the team, puts up a defensive lob to stay in the point. Mike held his ground and went on to win the match at this position. aTfsBW ' frjbjt w . wJfcJKjfsMBt w V � % m % 45 - , ♦.f ' A . t ' ’ mm s - w ® ♦ I Keith Gunter, senior, finishes up the point with a forehand winner down the line.

Since the Lady Cougars last beat Dan River in 1983, they have been a goal for the team. An exciting and long awaited victory over Dan River now makes room for a new goal to accompany Re- gionals. Two seniors, Jo Handy and Tina Houle led a team of exper¬ ienced players. A 4-6 record may not look impressive but it does not begin to reflect the work that went into this season. Coaches, Bill Pons and Robin Amos, used their experience and knowledge of the sport to help their players anyway they could. A couple of things Coach Pons said that he would do dif¬ ferently was to start earlier and to work more on hitting. Girls softball has always been associated with success here at the high school. A 4-6 record does not prove this but a trip to one of their games would. nf iN r v SgftVlCK ,e P rm$i Front Row: Tina Bowman, Julie Har¬ ris, Cheryl Bingman, Sandra Woods, Anita Vipperman, Jo Handy, Amy Bur¬ nette, Revonda Williams, Mary Beth Martin, Marcia Walker Back Row: Coach Bill Pons, Kathy Hiatt, Betsy Layman, Tammy Smith, Susan Tur¬ man, Amanda Martin, Beverly Bulling- ton, Michelle Reynolds, Michelle Rat¬ liff, Melissa Hill, Tracy Wood, Janice Lovell, April Hill, Kim Gunter, Donna Joyce, Coach Robin Amos A perfected windup and complete concentration are important to a pitcher.

They proved that with hard work and resolution you can reach your goals. Coach Gerald Culler commented that winning the Piedmont District and qualifying for regionals has al¬ ways been their ambition. Seniors Cliff Boyd, Gary Brown, Brad Dalton, Glenn Joyce, and Mike Rorrer led our Cougars to victory. All of the ex¬ perience that these players possessed really helped boost the team. Their season ended with a 15V2-7V2 record. Although ev¬ ery win was important, the game that stood out above the rest was the 16-3 play-off win over Martinsville. Coach Culler commented, Once we made the regional play-off, I thought we had a good chance of winning the re¬ gionals, especially after we beat William Byrd 9-3.” They also defeated Appamattox 4-3. The Region III title was won over Tunstall by a score of 4-2. After the win, the players showed everyone the self-satis¬ faction and happiness that is felt when a goal is achieved. The Tunstall game really showed our Cougars at their best. When asked about the highlights, Coach Culler said, Mike Rorrer hdd two key hits and played great defense. Mike Luckado had two hits and two RBI’s, one of which was the winning RBI. Cliff Boyd pitched an outstanding game.” A team effort, though, is what makes a winner and our Cougars exhib¬ ited just that. With a strong wind-up, Mike Rorrer attempts to blow his opponent out of the batters’ box. Third baseman, Mike Luckado, throws for an out. He was the number one player in the Piedmont District. 178 Varsity Baseball Mike Luckado aims for a power hit in the opening game of the season.

One More Time The Cougar baseball team has always given the Cougar fans something to cheer about. This year’s J.V. team was no ex¬ ception. They had a winning season with a 10-4 record in¬ cluding four wins over Martins¬ ville and three wins over Bas¬ sett. The team consisted of fifteen freshmen and three sub-fresh¬ men. They had several athletes to choose from which stength- ens the team. Brad Klontz led the team in pitching while Chris Vernon, Freddie Marshall, Tal Swails, and Kendall Dodson were the leading hitters. The athletes called up to var¬ sity were Brad Clontz, Freddie Marshall, and Kendall Dodson. These players and others con¬ tinue to establish a sound base for the baseball program.

He must get back up and make another attempt. Productive is a work that suitably describes this past sea¬ son. Although Coach McCon¬ nell stated that track seasons are not suitable for compari¬ son, he did make one com¬ ment. This season was marked by a genuine spirit of team unity and cooperation, amongst both the girls and the boys.” The girl’s track team was coached by Pam Owens. She was also involved with track when she previously taught here at the high school. Although neither the girls or the boys teams participated in many meets, several accom¬ plishments were made this sea¬ son. Three athletes, Jimmy Cockram, Tara Massie, and Mi¬ chael Wimbush represented Patrick County at the State Meet in the high jump. Jimmy also performed at the All- American relays in Radford. He competed against the nation’s leading high school jumper and finished second with a school record breakingjump of 6 ' 8Vi”. You can not judge a book by its cover and this track season backs up this statement. Their records may not be impressive but other factors made this year successful.

By the end of the year, students were relieved to be out of the library and through with the dreaded term papers.
