Those concerned with the school — administration, faculty and students — have directed great efforts toward creating a Pembroke worthy of pride. The accomplishments in academics, the arts, and athletics have been noteworthy. Success is a difficult thing to measure, but it must be recorded that the willingness and co-operation shown this first year have gained the admiration of this volume ' s authors. In the pages that follow, we attempt to depict what life at Pembroke has meant to us and, we trust, to our fellow Pirates. We only hope that these few memories may be more than temporary. 5 A fresh start provided the opportunity to chart a new course, to reach for the stars 7 We set sail under careful navigation to V H ride the waves to success— and harmony. On August 27, 1968, a new school opened, and it was named Pembroke. But the name held no real significance; it was named after a street which had been named for the Earl of Pembroke. Beyond the name, however, was an idea. A highly integrated school was the importance of the idea, and its hope. Teachers and administrators were drawn from the surrounding schools. Some of the best were selected, and all were able to meet the challenge. Pembroke opened in mayhem, confusion, and general excitement. It closed at the end of that day orderly, organized, and regular. All that was done that day. Throughout the year the school remained on an even keel through the combined efforts of an able administration, faculty, and student body. Pembroke met most obstacles and turned what was initially only an idea into an admirable reality. Mr. Edward Szetela becomes School Board The Hampton School Board, under the leadership of Mr. Garland R. Lively, superintendent, faced the challenge of providing a well-rounded school system for Hampton students. This year, their task was made more difficult by increased numbers of school-age children. New schools, at all levels of instruction, were needed. Through its author- ity, the Board planned for and supervised the construction of new facilities. Employing new teachers, allotting funds for instruc- tional materials, and dealing with administrative problems of the Hampton schools were among the duties of the Board. At regular meetings of the Board, local citizens had opportunities to express requests for changes in areas which involved their children. Mr. Garland R. Lively Randolph-Macon College, B.S. University of Virginia, M.Ed. Mr. Cooper, right, expresses his opinion as Mr. Brauer, chairman, listens.

Man of the Year for ’68 for Hampton. Mr. Szetela shows us what the well-dressed Pirate wears on informal occasions. The position as principal of a re-organized school presented Mr. Szetela with difficulties, problems, and crises. His experience, ability, and understanding enabled him to weather the year, and made Pembroke into the fine school it is. The students, faculty, and staff always found Mr. Szetela to be helpful, co- operative, and sympathetic. Certainly, the honor as Hampton ' s Man of the Year was a deserved one for the first principal of Pembroke High School. In spite of an already heavy schedule, Mr. Szetela lines up another appointment. 13 Administrative staff encourages Mr. Albert H. Smith Assistant Principal Virginia Polytechnic Institute, B.S.

Latham Dean of Girls Sophomore Guidance Counselor Sweet Briar College, A.B. College of William and Mary, M.Ed. Administrative Staff Encouraging and co-operating with students occupied the time of Pembroke ' s administrative staff. Mr. Edward Szetela led the capable members of the staff, Mrs. Eylese Latham, Mr. Roycee Bland, and Mr. Albert Smith, in the performance of their many duties. Problems of absences, discipline, and tardiness were under the care of Mrs. Latham and Mr. Bland. Students with personal problems could seek and obtain help from Mrs. Latham and Mr. Bland. As Director of Athletics for Pembroke, Mr. Bland found more work and problems. The collection of all school-requested fees and the assignment of hall lockers kept Mr. Smith busy, but he also served as sponsor of the SCA and co-sponsor of the yearbook, the CORSAIR. Mr. Bland, Mr. Tucker and Mr. Tyson are involved in a discussion over a problem they encountered.

Administration Forms, bulletins, announcements, and schedules pour from the Main Office almost daily. But visitors, students, and faculty members found the Main Office staff always ready and willing to help. Mrs. McKinley kept track of school and club finances, and Mrs. Easter served as receptionist and supervised the Bookstore. Mrs. Cook was the school registrar and co-sponsor of the Senior Class. Students also had opportunities to get help and advice from Mrs. Hoffman, Mr. Booker, and Mrs. James. Mrs. Imogene M. James Clinic Supervisor Garfield Memorial Hospital, R.N. Mrs. Paula W.

Library In every school, the library performs specialized, important functions. Throughout the year, the librar- ians, Miss Whisnant, Mrs. Young, and Mrs. Brockley assisted students in obtaining reference materials and books for reading pleasure. To supplement various phases of each course of study, teachers used films and records from the Library. The magazines, novels, and wide range of reference material in the Library were supplemented by the helpfulness of the Pembroke librarians. Under their direction, the Library functioned smoothly and suc- cessfully throughout the ' 68- ' 69 school year.

The Army Junior ROTC of Pembroke H igh School was activated in September. It had a total enrollment of 84 students and was organized into two infantry companies of two platoons each. Every cadet was issued a uniform by the army. The unit is one of over 600 such high school units throughout the United States. The objectives of the Junior ROTC program are to develop good citizenship, self-reliance, leadership, and responsiveness to constituted authority. The cadets, guided by Colonel Alfred Montrone and Sergeant Major William Nichols, were taught basic military skills and an appreciation of the role of the U. S. Army. Although the student ' s participation in this Junior ROTC program does not obligate him for future military service, it will help him if he should decide to enroll in college, apply for one of the service academies, or enter military service.

English Department In addition to the routine offerings in the English field, Pembroke students had oppor- tunities to move into more specialized areas. Courses in speech, drama, journalism, and the Humanities served to expand the stu- dents ' knowledge of and experience in the English language. Under the direction of Mrs. Woodard, Pembroke ' s English department provided varied levels of instruction keyed to student ability. Basic English courses emphasized the practoca; application of grammar rules, and some training in correct business letter-writ- ing was offered. Mrs. Susan G. Davis English Longwood College, B.S.

We wonder if her students will be equally fascinated? 18 levels in English courses For the college-bound students, there were college preparatory classes centered around literature and composition. Condi- tions influencing the authors ' works were studied in addition to the works themselves. Students of superior ability were chal- lenged by courses providing more advanc- ed and detailed study and work. Miss Linda F.

Ruth Crawley, Gwen Blackwell, and Joyce Burton run through their lines for Exit the Body. Weirdly painted faces, ancient hats, robes, ragged costumes — are these the tools of education? The answer is Yes if you are in one of Miss Horton ' s speech or drama classes. Situations involving facing and talking to audi- ences were created to give students opportunities to develop poise and skill in public speaking. Aspiring actors and actresses found the drama classes to be challenging and helpful. Actual performances in skits and plays gave drama students needed experience, and fun. Pembroke ' s PIRATEER, the school newspaper, was the responsibilty of the journalism classes. Mrs. Sheehan taught the fundamentals of journalism in classes and supervised the preparation of the paper. Salmagundi gets unusual advertisement in Mrs. Sheehan ' s classes. Now, ladies! Show some enthusiasm, pleads Miss Horton in her speech class. 20 Departments improve bonds of communication. Foreign Language Department As transportation methods improve, the world shrinks. Thus the need for better communication among nations increases. Pembroke ' s language depart- ment was designed to meet the need for greater usage and knowledge of foreign languages. Courses in Spanish, French, German, and Latin were available to Pembroke students. Each course was divided on the basis of student progress. Centering their instruction around the practical usage of the languages, the teachers also attempted to provide realistic pictures of the countries and people who used each language. Many different instructional techniques were used in the classes. Besides doing routine classroom work, viewing films, and listening to language records, the students were able to work in the language labora- tory. Here, in individual carrels, students worked with tape recordings to improve pronunciation and vo- cabulary. Miss Paula L.

Pembroke ' s students could gain this knowledge under the auspices of Mrs. Whiting and Mr. Pitsenbarger. Vocal classes were instructed by Mrs. Whiting. She also directed the choral concerts produced during the year. Instruction in playing instruments was provided by Mr. Pitsen- barger. The band concerts were under his direction and supervision, also. Students in vocal and band classes entered local and state competitions and won honors for their skills and abilities. The students and faculty had opportuni- ties to appreciate the results of these music classes when they attended school assemblies and rallies. Mrs. Whiting plays for a rehearsal by the Girls ' Chorus before the Winter concert. The Pep Band, led by Mr. Pitsenbarger, provide background music for a pep rally. Mrs. Janie M.

These everyday questions which challenge housewives were answered in the classes of Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Gardner. By creating many situations they would face as wives and homemakers, the students learned many useful skills. The students in Mrs. Childs ' Art classes studied art history, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and interior decoration. They selected projects for individual interest and worked with ceramics, wood, and leather. Special attention was given to figure drawing. The reward comes in sampling the finished product after the labor of producing it. Mrs. Gardner enjoys discussing with her class one of the aspects of cooking.

Sponsor: Future Nurses Club Theory and text material go hand in hand with practical work in Mrs. Armstead ' s classes. K Practical Nursing Pembroke had the distinction of being one of the high schools in Hampton offering Practical Nursing this year. The students engaged in this course included not only Pembroke Pirates, but also Huntington High School students and women from surrounding neighborhoods. Nursing classes were scheduled for three hours with three breaks. During this time the students were trained in a manner similar to that in hospitals. They studied the many intricate They practice on each other, as Margery Hannah and Ramona Roger demonstrate. systems of the human body as well as the care needed for patients. Mrs. Mary Armstead, the instructor, tried to provide as much authenticity in the classroom as possible. Films showing different types of situa- tions which the students might encounter were used. Different types of mannequins were used so that students might develop a better under- standing of the human body. After receiving the in-class training, the stu- dents went to a hospital, where they worked until March of the following year. Upon com- pletion of the hospital training they received licenses to serve as practical nurses. Mrs. Mary Armstead instructs Princess Faison, Audrey Bland, and Elsie Kellington in the technique of tube feeding. 24 and Industrial Arts Mr. Grant gives instructions to students in I ndustrial Arts about the construction of a table. Industrial Arts Brick masonry, woodshop, and drafting were the studies in the Industrial Arts department. These classes provided the bases for future vocations and hobbies. Mr. Woodrow West, in a three-hour class, taught the arts of bricklaying and masonry techniques. Woodshop classes, under the guidance of Mr. James Grant, learned to use all woodworking tools and produced useful, beautiful objects. From Mr. Mike Riddick, the drafting classes learn- ed to draw basic floor plans. Advanced students made house designs, on paper and in model form. These classes offered types of vocational training that will be useful and profitable to students in later life. Many of the students, after completing these basic courses, go on to further study in these fields. Mr. James Grant Woodwork Virginia State College, B.S. Mr. Mike G.

Social Studies Under the direction of the departmental head Mrs. Lillian Poe, the History department placed emphasis on the present and the future, as it related to the past. The students this year concentrated on the theme Past is Prelude , taking a topical approach rather than a chronological one. Students in the advanced classes did more intensive study on the same theme. International Relations was also part of the Social Studies curriculum taught this year. This course was a study of coun- tries and their relationship to other countries. The government classes were instructed by Mrs. Reynolds and Mr. Niles. These classes gave each student knowledge and understanding of the local as well as the national government. Mrs. Lillian A.

Mathematics Department The mathematics curriculum at Pembroke ranged from general math to calculus. Head- ed by Mrs. Steiner, the department offered a variety of courses of differing degrees of difficulty. Through this varied offering each student could find a course suited to his ability. Consumer and general math courses de- veloped the practical applications of arith- metic skills. Algebra, a two-year course, in- volved work with a combination of trigono- metry and advanced algebra. Theorems, polygons, triangles, cylinders, and angles, all combined to challenge geometry students. Other courses, calculus, math analysis, and trigonometry, were additional offerings for the mathematically talented and curious students. The overhead projector is a useful tool in a mathematics class as Mrs. Steiner shows. 28 available to all students Calculus class is for logic and concentration and no negative attitudes.

Science Department From the sophomore year through the senior year, the average student is faced with the challenging study of science. This year, Pembroke offered a series of courses in science which ranged in difficulty from general biology to physics. Although many students did not take the more advanced courses, every student met the graduation requirement of two credits in science. Biology was presented on three levels: advanced, general, and practical. On each level, students were introduced to the vast realm of animal and plant life. Physiology, a more advanced course, centered around the study of the human body. An analysis of measures and chemical reactions challenged Pembroke ' s chemistry students. Chem Study provided a still deeper probe into chemistry. Physics completed the course offerings in the science department. The primary concern of the science department was to make each student more aware of his environment. Through labora- tory work, the student heightened this awareness by answering such questions as How? or Why? Mr. John H. Whitehurst Chemistry and Physiology University of North Carolina, A.B.

Shrout Bookkeeping, Record Keeping, Business Law, Office Practice Appalachian State University, B.S.; M.A. Business and Distributive Education Departments The chief goal of the business education department was to provide a strong background in clerical and business skills. The department prepared students for careers in the business world. Although typing was the most popular course, the curriculum offered training in the use of business machines, shorthand, business law, bookkeeping, and record keeping. The distributive education course supplemented its class- room offerings by placing students in jobs in local stores. Before they were assigned or placed in jobs, the students received background training in the classrooms and this en- abled them to face different situations. Through the co-opera- tion of the Hampton merchants, and the training in the classroom, these students were well-prepared for future occu- pations. Mrs. Camilla B.

Boys and girls learned the fundamentals of many sports in the various sections of the depart- ment. Mr. Turner, Mr. West, and Mr. Croft taught and supervised baseball, track, football, basketball, and wrestling. The girls received instruction in softball, volley- ball, basketball, field hockey, archery, and stunts and tumbling. Mrs. Thomas and Miss Hill supplied the expertise for the girls ' classes. In health classes, the students found the oppor- tunities to obtain answers to many questions that had puzzled them. Breathlessly, the entire gym class waits for Betty Laseter to hit that ball.

Cafeteria Students at Pembroke, as in other places, were hungry at lunch time everyday. To answer those cries of I ' m starved , the cafeteria employees prepared enough food to serve the students and faculty in two lunch periods. Good, well-prepared, nourishing food was served in an attractive, centrally located cafeteria. Hunger could be appeased while the latest gossip and news was being circulated and exchanged. Indeed, the Cafeteria, under Mrs. Ballard ' s direction was popular! Mrs. Eva Hogge is more than happy to provide Mr. Riddick with the correct change. Food, eating, and socializing make the Cafeteria an enjoyable place to be at lunch time. 36 pleasant surroundings The same daily chores never destroy Mr. Harris ' good humor. Custodial Staff In addition to keeping the school clean, the custodial staff arrived early to light and heat the school properly. The staff also provided towel service for the gym classes and clean uniforms for the Pembroke athletic teams. The staff worked throughout the day in order to maintain pleasant surroundings for students and faculty. Thanks to Mr. Fred Ridley and staff, the students, faculty, and visitors can appreciate the beauty of our school. Just another room to clean — maybe that is what Mr. Vann thinks. Concentration and efficiency help Mr. Griffin clean dozens of classrooms daily. How many towels do they use? wonders Mr. Wyche as he continues to fold them. 37 A school ' s primary function is to educate. All else is secondary. But education can mean many things, and it can be administered in many ways. To this end Pembroke began its first clubs. Large clubs like the Key and Keyette clubs were among the first, along with foreign language and science clubs. Each was founded to achieve a single end, the improvement and education of all who went to Pembroke. Many capable teachers volunteered their services in sponsoring the newly formed organizations. It was here that teachers and students worked and solved problems together. A common cause created a link of communication between the students and the faculty. And thus also was a second strengthening force generated at Pembroke, that ultimate force of understanding. • � — ms m ml 01 17 - rgamzations � - 4 i . 4 , . x. ,• 1 � SCA initiated, guided, and completed many projects. SCA Because Pembroke was newly organized this year, the role of the student government was of increased importance. The Student Steering Committee se- lected school colors and mascot, and then the SCA began with the election of officers. Homecoming, the first major project, was a big success. Headed by President James Small, the SCA also participated in community projects for needy fami- lies. Among these were the Thanksgiving Food Drive, the Daily Press Christmas Fund, and the March of Dimes. The Christmas atmosphere at school was enhanced by the efforts of the SCA. A decorated tree and illustrated lobby windows drew compliments from the faculty, student body, and community. Dances were held after games to raise money for athletic trophies. SCA Executive Board members were: seated: Peggy Riley; Ronald Brown; Janet Tennyson; Gilda Smaw; Bonnie Jones; Linda Selby; standing: Dianne Randall; Stephen Smith; David Thomas; James Small; Eva Jones; Pat Porteous; Casandra Singleton; Cynthia Mundie; and Charles Shepard Homeroom representatives were: 1st row: Pam Russell; Portia Wilson; Pat Kiessler; Kevin Cusce; Sharon Gaskell; Sharon Berry; Carol Tillema; Sonya Hudson; Teri Fletcher; Stephen Smith; Gilda Smaw; 2nd row: Paulette Grabinski; Ruth Crawley; Jeannie White; Beverly McDonald; Helen Paige; Carolyn Sumpter; Eunice Thomas; Linda Malone; Barbara Elliott; 3rd row: Charles Shepard; Rodney Harper; Ingrid Stilson; Mark Leigh; Steve House; Pam Moberg; Brenda Allen; Audrey Edler; Myrtle Williams; and Larry Slade.

Standing: Cynthia Mundie, Suzanne Shivers, Rita Clapp, Cathy Wilson, Mary Maker, Wanda McMillian, Sharon Branch, Pamela Cross, Charlene Brown, Sara Brown; seated: Patricia Delaware, Missy Hamilton were the capable volunteers. Mrs. Cooke supervised typing in the office. No, Mrs. Easter, just staring like that will not produce an elusive assistant now! Student Assistants The Student Assistants were kept busy this year aiding the guidance and main offices. Each student gave up a study hall to help the administrative staff at Pembroke. Filing cards and records, delivering messages, and answering the telephones were only a few of their many tasks. Good character, scholastic record and attendance were major requirements for participation. These volunteers were greatly appreciated for their services in helping to run things smoothly during the school year. 42 Library Assistants handled book circulation. Processing, filing, and shelving new books were only a few of several duties performed by the Library Assistants. Under the direction of Miss Susan Whis- nant, head librarian, the students handled circulation of books and over-due notices. Requirements for membership were a C average, a study hall and an interest in library functions. The sixteen members worked diligently to make the li- brary useful to both students and faculty. Could Mrs. Young be wondering where all of her eager assistants are? Andrea Harris gets out a routine report as her contribution to the Library. Miss Whisnant and Mrs. Brockley, left back row, and Mrs. Young, right, provided the guidance and instructions necessary for these assistants to perform efficiently and helpfully. 43 Math Club prepares for National Math Test h Math Club Extra practice in difficult math problems was part of the Math Club ' s work for the year. As these students were really interested in math of all kinds and grades of difficulty, they found the club to be an ideal group for sharing common interests. Practice in solving problems kept the members in trim for na- tional and state examinations. Mrs. Steiner as sponsor encouraged the students to help other less mathematically talented students. Such assistance enabled some to grasp and understand principles that had eluded them before. Joe Simpkins, Linda Miller, and Mrs. Steiner study and consider projects for club activity. . � ■ i T1 David Leverett, Linda Miller, David Heileman, and Loretta Lamson seem to know what to do with those mathematical gadgets. Brad Leighton and Mrs. Steiner seem to have reached a point that calls for thought. 44 Audio-Sonics, Audio-Visual served as stage crews. Members of Audio-Sonics Club were: standing Charles North, Ocie Flournoy and Mike Morrall; Kneeling Fred Tinsley and Terry Barnes. This is the sort of thing the Audio-Sonics group had to prepare for — often! Audio Groups Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Ethel Brockley, members of the Audio-Visual Club were busy assis- ting teachers by delivering projectors, films and records to classrooms. Because the students were free the entire period, they were available to help faculty members operate equipment. The fifteen members, led by President Carl Johnson and Secre- tary John Padilla, culminated their year ' s activities by visiting a local radio station. The eight members of the Audio-Sonics Club were responsible for sound and lighting in assem- blies, programs, plays and concerts. Mr. Albert Smith sponsored this group. Among the members of the Audio-Visual group were: Pete McCarthy, Mary Doswell, Carl Johnson, Alton Blackley, Willie Copling, Lloyd Hedgepeth, Fulton Christian, James Collins, Wayne Keene, John Padilla, and Dacky Puu. Mrs. Brockley, Miss Whisnant, and Mrs. Young supervised the work of this group. 45 Chess Club members improve their playing skills. Kevin Cusce knows what is needed to outwit opponents. Eugene Myers and Tommy Fargous test new techniques. CHESS CLUB Members of the Chess Club represented Pembroke in inter-school tournaments. Under the sponsorship of Miss Linda Fuller, the club aroused interest in the game, and enabled the members to improve their playing skills. The Club president was Garette Smith. Kevin Cusce was vice-president and Don Evans was secre- tary. Silence prevails as active minds plot the next move. 46 DECA’s Sherry Pridgen takes first place.

Other activities included the presentation of a skit on shoplifting, a trip to Richmond mercantile firms, the annual Employer-Employee banquet, and the DECA contest. Sherry Pridgen took first honors in the Job-Interview contest. The Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Judson Furlow, had a rewarding and successful year. DECA members were: T. Doyer, C. McQuillen, A. Smith, P. Brigman, A. Rosso, S. Pridgen, J. Parker, D. Strock, J. Burkhalter, J. Burton, V. Amos, V. Neal, P. Cheseman, N. Rice, and J. Green. 47 German Club and FNA work, learn, and play. All are dedicated members of the German Club. Mr. Horne, sponsor, encouraged these interested students to take an active part in school activities as well as to learn more about the German people and their customs. FNA Activities of the FNA members naturally tended to center around their chief interests, nursing and health careers. These Future Nurses held regular meetings at which they heard speakers representing various fields of health. As part of their beliefs that they should contribute to the community in some way, the girls, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Armstead, arranged holiday parties for some less fortunate groups. They also made field trips for observation and educational purposes to local hospitals. German Club In hopes of raising money to finance a trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the German Club actively participated in weekend car washes and the annual candy sales. In the meantime, the twenty-seven mem- bers enjoyed a dinner party. The German meal was part of a program to expand their knowledge of the German culture. Headed by President Patricia Knight, Secretary Melissa Hamilton, Vice-President Steven House and Treasurer Robert Powell, the members met regularly to plan their numerous activities. The Future Nurses are ready for another meeting, but took time out for the photographer. Mrs. Armstead is ready to show them another technique, however. 48 Majorettes add grace and beauty to game time. Robert Parker and Tamara Robinson practice that all-important strut before one of their public appearances. Majorettes Pembroke ' s majorettes made their debut in the annual spring parades. Because the marching band did not perform during football season, the majorettes did not see fall activity. However, they did participate in other projects. The girls were kept busy making their uniforms, white pleated dresses and white boots with tassels. In order to raise needed funds, the majorettes took part in the seasonal candy sale. They also served as ushers during band concerts. Requirements for membership were poise, appearance, and ability to march and twirl. The Flag Twirlers, also members of the marching band, had to meet the same requirements as majorettes. Here they are: front: Leila Smith; Lillian Tolliver; Donna Davis; back: Deborah Turner; Linda Parker; Roslyn Cypress; Dianne Randall — our Majorettes. Wanda McMillian; Shirley Stewart; Zelda Ruffin; Renee Borden; Janet Tennyson; IMorwettia Davis; Helen Jackson; and Gloria Moody show what they are capable of doing in entertaining a crowd. 49 History Club receives visit from Mayor Ann Kilgore History Club The History Club, sponsored by Mrs. Reynolds, organized to stimulate interest in local history. The president of the League of Women Voters spoke to the club. An archeological survey of Old Hampton was made. This year ' s activities were highlighted by a visit from Hampton ' s mayor, Mrs. Ann Kilgore. Her topic dealt with new futures in a new Hampton. An end-of-the-year banquet closed the school year for the members. The president was Gary Williams; the vice-presi- dent, Myrtle Williams; Janet Tennyson was secretary; and Sharon Branch served as treasurer.

Home Ec clubbers presented a fashion show, wear- ing clothes they had made, at a Mother-Daughter banquet. The Dow Badische plant provided the mem- bers with an interesting field trip. The sponsors, Mrs. Gardener and Mrs. Wells, with Cynthia Tucker as president, led the active year. Beverly Willis was vice-president, Carol Tillema was secretary, and Rennee Borden served as treasurer. What better way to honor St. Valentine than with punch and cookies?

National Honor Society initiates new members James Small, Audrey Edler, Kathy Barnes, and Loretta Lamson show that informality was a keynote of the meetings. Character, scholarship, leadership, and service were the criteria for membership in the National Honor Society. Induction ceremonies were held on March 29 at the Parents ' Night program. Eight students were inducted. Representing the senior group were Audrey Edler and James Small; while Kathy Barnes, Patricia Gaesser, Loretta Lamson, Brad Leighton, and Linda Miller were the juniors elected. One of the major projects for the society was serving as hosts and hostesses for a meeting of mathematics teachers at Bethel High School. The year ' s activities were highlighted by the dinner at which the officers for next year were installed. Mrs. Steiner, advisor for NHS, seems to have reached a conclusion of some kind. 52 Key Club presented athletic award to William Young. Dedicated to service to the school and community, the Key Club had numerous service projects on its agenda. Projects included repairing Pembroke ' s choral risers, ushering for school functions, collecting for the cancer drive, and selling stand-up for Freedom stickers. Key Clubbers also presented awards to the valedic- torian and salutatorian at graduation, and to the most athletic student, and they made plans for sending delegates to the Key Club international convention. Mr. Michael Riddick was sponsor for the club. The officers were David Thomas, president; Ronald Brown, vice-president; Gary Williams, secretary; and Larry Elliott, treasurer. The local sponsor for the Key Club is the Hampton Kiwanis. William Young, recipient of the Key Club athletic award, is congratulated by David Thomas.

Sponsored by Miss Rena Horton and Miss Phyllis Taylor, two productions proved to be attractions. Members gained experience working as stage crew, make-up artists, and lighting crew. For the spring production, several students assumed the posi- tions of stage, and property managers. Members also assisted from time to time as stage crews in class programs, and school skits.

Newspapers Selection of a name for Pembroke ' s newspaper, and a name that would please the entire student body, was the first task for the journalism students. The members of Mrs. Sheehan ' s journalism classes formed the nucleus of the PIRATEER staff. Inter- ested students from the membership of Pembroke could work on the paper and contribute material for it. Led by Mrs. Sheehan, advisor, and Bonnie Jones, editor, the staff soon faced their writing and publishing problems. Enthusiasm, talent, and perseverance made each issue increasingly better and easier to compile. The PIRATEER carried all the things found in a real paper except comic strips and classified adver- tisements. Sports, feature stories, editorials, student surveys, cartoons, and letters to the editor were included regularly. The final issue of the year, devoted to and honoring the seniors, was the culmina- tion of a year of trial, tribulation, and learning. Between regular issues of the PIRATEER the staff and journalism students published a mimeographed newssheet . . . This was Salmagundi , a name that mystified many until they saw and read it. Salmagundi had to be advertised so Pat Knight and Renee Borden finish up an artistic poster for this purpose. Reporters Allen Vick, Karl Salnoskie, Diane Cerny, Gary Williams and Willard Bauer usually scurried around gathering the news and information for the PIRATEER. 56 SALMAGUNDI keeps student body informed on important events. Is Mrs. Sheehan listening to advice from some of her staff, or doin g as she thinks it should be done? Those features in the PIRATEER came from John Daugherty, Lesli Brown, Patricia Gaesser and Pat Knight, among others. Jr9 The PIRATEER staff responsible for editorials and general policy included Bonnie Jones, Jerry Barbery, Tom Klett, and Kathy Barnes. 57 Corsair Staff works to complete PHS History; attends Mr. Smith shows a layout page to prospective yearbook workers at a session of the summer workshop. At the yearbook workshop staff members watch a demonstration of film-loading techniques in using a light-tight bag. Work for the ' 69 annual began at a summer workshop, where prospective staff members were introduced to yearbook construction and technique. Following the pattern of so many of Pembroke ' s activities this year, the Corsair personnel were hin- dered by the fact that Pembroke was not yet fully organized. While the staff was awaiting completion of the darkroom, they went through the ritual of selecting the name, theme , and cover design for the annual. With that step of the process behind, Corsair workers forged ahead, compiling copy, designing lay- outs, and selecting pictures. Michael Recant experiments with reproduction of Polaroid prints. The 1969 Corsair staff was, seated: M. Jones, C. Tucker, R. Clapp, P. Corbin, P. Scott, G. Evans; 2nd row: N. Anderson, V. Hanchin, P. Riley, S. Girard, K. Barnes, M. Henglein, M. Recant, P. Delaware; R.Struthers. 58 Yearbook Workshop at Princess Anne High Hours of measuring, cropping pictures, and pencil- chewing over copy, filled the periods allotted for yearbook preparation. All was not hard work, how- ever, as some staffers found out. Their attendance at a work-shop clinic for yearbook staff members helped solve some problems they had been facing. Finally, after much argument, some com- promising, and a great deal of prodding, the staff could write finis to their labors. Pat Delaware and Peggy Riley, with Kathy Barnes, discuss divider page layouts. Photographer Ross Struthers takes prints out of the fixer to put them in the wash. Busy with contact sheets is Paul Scott, while Bob Kuhn helps Gloria Evans with her pages. 59 Y-Teens and Interact dedicate themselves to service. Y-Teen members were: front: C. Singleton; T.

I nteract To prepare for future involvement in community affairs was the primary purpose of the Interact Club. The seventeen charter members, sponsored by Hamp- ton Rotary, were advised by Mr. John Whitehurst. The highlight of the year ' s activities was the induc- tion ceremony and dinner given for the Club at the Chamberlain Hotel. Officers of the club were Mal- colm Hooker, president; Steve Field, vice-president; Dennis Burt, secretary; and Steve Boutwell, treasurer. Malcolm Hooker receives the Interact Club charter at a banquet hosted by the Hampton Rotary Club. Y-Teens The Y-Teens, under the school sponsorship of Miss Linda Fuller, was one of the service organizations formed at Pembroke this year. The club participated in various service activities, exhibiting their spirit of community service. The Young Women ' s Christian Association sponsors all Y-Teen clubs on the Peninsula. 60 Madrigal and Radio Staffs display school’s creativity. Working under the handicap of late organization, the Madrigal staff had to work double time to compile a literary magazine that exemplified the students ' creativity. Before anything else could be done, a name for the magazine had to be chosen. Members decided on Madrigal, meaning a medieval epic poem. Staff members acted as talent scouts, tracked down and enlisted creative students. The abundance of creativity made the task of sorting through and selecting submissions challenging. Co-editors Elemuel Watts and Adrienne Melvin coordinated and supervised the Madrigal ' s progress. Pembroke students had a chance to explore the world of mass media by joining the Radio Club. Co-sponsored by Mrs. Patricia Sheehan and Miss Rena Horton, the members presented two broadcasts fea- turing Pembroke news in their original scripts. In addition, the participants were introduced to the fundamentals and mechanics of broadcasting by learning to operate equipment and interpret hand signals. The club involved a great deal of challenging work. Their efforts were rewarded with a weekly spot on WVEC Radio Station next year. Officers for the year were Steve Dougherty, presi- dent; Mary Lawrence, secretary-treasurer; and Sharon Gaskell, chaplain. Radio Club members were: front row: O. Francis, M. Jones, D. Lee, R. Johnson, second row: S. Dougherty, L. Brown, R. Wilson, B. Willis, G. Evans; third row: D. Parker, K. Stevens, J. Burton, T. Cook; fourth row: I. Lewis, R. Haynes, S. Gaskell, H. Davis, E. Watts. Madrigal staffers debate relative merits of poetry submissions. ' 69 Madrigal staff was: seated — K. Barnes, prose editor, A. Melvin, co-editor, V. Hanchin, art editor; second row — L. Miller, O. Francis, L. Brown, E. Conn, E. Watts, editor, D. Heileman, R. Struthers, poetry editor. 61 As their continuous project, Keyettes adopted” Keyettes Keyettes, the female counterpart to the Key Club, had service as their role. Collection of toys for underprivileged children was the first project. Adop- tion of a monthly project continued the spirit of service. Members also served the school as hostesses at various school functions. Money raising projects in- cluded a car wash, candy sales, and a bake sale. Prospective members for ' 69- ' 70 were introduced to the Club at a tea in May. After new members were selected, Mrs. Norma Jean Atkins, a former model, spoke at this special meeting. Sponsors for the group were Mrs. Eloise Orser and Mrs. Susan Davis. The president was Nora Anderson; Ruth Crawley was vice-president, and Leslie Brown kept the records. M yra Carl was parliamentarian, and Kathy Barnes, historian, compiled the scrapbook. I Pat Porteous helps serve goodies to the representatives of Girls ' and Boys ' State.

Opportunities to acquire some knowledge of vocal music and add to a cultural background were found in the classes and choral sections. Musical theory, interpretation, and some history were the bases of the work under the direction of Mrs. Whiting. Students chosen for A ' Cappella were selected after auditioning. For some, it was a new experience to sing without instrumental accompaniment. After practice — hours of it — they became a choir which performed creditably at many school assemblies and programs. The Choruses, boys ' and girls ' , studied classical, semi-classical, and popular music. This enabled them to give concerts which offered a variety of selections, both in type and difficulty. Some of the members of A ' Cappella and the Choruses entered local and state competitions. As a result of their study, practice, and experience in the vocal groups of Pembroke, Mrs. Whiting believes that some of her students will con- tinue their musical education. 64 and tuneful programs. Concerts for the faculty, student body, and public were the high points of the year for the members of A ' Cappella and the Choruses. Two formal concerts were given during the ' 68- ' 69 season. On other occasions, mainly assemblies, these groups contributed to the theme and background spirit. The Christmas and Thanksgiving programs owed much of their dignity and beauty to the excellent vocal offerings of the choral members. Selections of both religious and secular nature gave everyone something to enjoy and appreciate. Pianist and soloist are equally affected by applause and congratulations at a concert. Explanations of musical theory and interpretation were part of Mrs. Whiting ' s classwork. The Choir presented songs and hymns of praise at the Thanksgiving assembly. 65 Pembroke’s Band performed James Carney helps Sharon Branch before a performance. Band director, Mr. Walter Pitsenbarger, directed the concert band throughout the year. 66 from an extensive repertoire. Donald Bone blows manfully while Charles Shepard waits calmly for his turn. The Pep Band, tootled and drummed for all rallies, under Mr. Pitsenbarger ' s direction. Band Pembroke ' s concert band began its first year of organization with great ambition. The thirty-seven members practiced many hours for the presentation of the Winter and Spring Concerts and their joint Christmas Concert with the choir. February brought the arrival of new uniforms, paid for in part by the fall candy sale. Under the direction of Mr. Walter Pitsenbarger, the band participated in the district festival in March. Pembroke was proud of its delegates to the All- Regional Band. These included Donald Bone, trumpet, Wolfram Blume, bass clarinet, and Elnora Staples, flute. The Pep Band, composed of fifteen members, boosted school spirit at football games and pep rallies. 67 Le Club Francais purchased club pins French Club members are: D. McCloud, M. Hamilton, S. Girard, B. Allen, P. Gaesser, P. Moberg, P. Cross, D. Broussard, M. Ward, G. McQuesten, and Miss Parr, sponsor. Marilyn Ward helps Donna Broussard pin on her French Club emblem. French Club The primary role of the French Club was aiding the students to gain a better understanding of the people, culture, and language of France. The officers for ' 68- ' 69 were: Brenda Allen, presi- dent; Gayle McQuesten, vice-president; Marilyn Ward, secretary, and Pam Cross, treasurer. Activities included participation in the fall and spring candy sales, and purchase of pins to denote membership in the Club. From time to time, club members spiced regular meetings with parties of a French nature. French Club members enjoy a break from routine meetings with a party. 68 Pep Club members organize impromptu pep rallies At a pep rally.

In addition to promoting school spirit. Pep Clubbers set out to unify Pembroke ' s student body and instill pride in the school. The organization was headed by Terence Patter- Club son, president; Eunice Thomas, vice-president; Lillian Tolliver, secretary; Rodney Jackson, treasurer; and Rivers Taylor, chaplain. Members presented skits at the pep rallies, painted posters, and organized im- promptu pep rallies. Miss Paula Jones and Miss Frieda Parr were the club sponsors. 69 i Cheerleaders encouraged teams Junior Varsity Cheerleaders were: kneeling: Sandra Ward, Donna Broussard; Marilyn Ward. Standing: Martha Mervin; Sharon Berry; Cindy Svec; Kathy Bujak; and Carol Tillema. f ♦ Varsity Cheerleaders were: from top: Teri Fletcher; Linda Malone; Audrey Edler; Deborah Bradley; Janet Wikan; Nora Anderson; and Peggy R iley . 70 throughout entire athletic season Cheerleaders With Pembroke meeting some teams for the first time, the cheerleaders were faced with various tasks. They selected new uniforms and learned new cheers and routines. A new look for the Varsity squad came from their new maroon capes. Led by Linda Malone, the pepsters sold shakers and ribbons to encourage spirit and enthusiasm among the students. The Junior Varsity, under Sharon Berry and Marilyn Ward, contributed much to the spirit at Pembroke. Physical co-ordination, enthusiasm, ap- pearance, and a C average were requirements for membership on both squads. Miss Mary B. Hill sponsored the Varsity squad, and Miss Carole Ferguson supervised the Junior Varsity group. Deborah Bradley, Nora Anderson, Linda Malone, Teri Fletcher and Audrey Edler warn York of the mighty Pirate power. Stirring up enthusiasm for the Regional Tournament are Peggy Riley, Teri Fletcher, and Nora Anderson. Ready and waiting to contribute to the noise, Kathy Bujak, Martha Mervin, and Donna Broussard watch for the sign. 71 Pembroke faced a unique problem in its first year as a Hampton City high school, class disunity. Three classes drawn from various high schools and from all walks of life were placed in a common setting. But, despite this handicap, the students pulied together to initiate the traditions of a new school. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors started the year together by deciding the school colors and nickname. As a unified school they sought to represent Pembroke in sports. The S.C.A., with the support of all classes, coordinated student activity with that of the administration, and as a result many enjoyable dances and other activities were presented for the student body. One hundred and ninety-one Seniors Senior Class officers were: President — Stephen Smith, Vice-President — Darnell Williams, Secretary — Cynthia Tucker, Treasurer — Edith Faye Clayton, and Chaplain — Rita Clapp. The first graduating class of Pembroke High School found many activities and problems facing them. Election of class officers saw Stephen Smith become president and Darnell Williams vice-president. Cynthia Tucker be- came class secretary and Edith Faye Clayton managed the financial affairs of the Senior Class. Rita Clapp as chaplain presented de- votions at meetings. The approach of the final big moments — Commencement and its activities — found many things still to be done. Announcements and calling cards were ordered; a Talent Show was presented, and plans for the Prom were made. Class night and the Baccalaureate Service proved to be only preliminaries for that sad, joyful and promising event — Commencement. The Senior sponsors, Mrs. Camilla Scott and Mrs. Elizabeth Cook helped to make Joseph Bernard Acosta our year one of the best.

It didn ' t take long, however, for the class of ' 70 to unite in backing the Pirates with displayed spirit. As soon as the Juniors had settled into a routine, they chose David Thomas to be president and V ikk i Hanchin as vice-president. Steve House was elected treasurer and Helen Paige became secretary. Janet Tennyson was chaplain for the ' 68- ' 69 school year. The first endeavor of the Class of ' 70 was selling Christmas candles to raise money. With much partici- pation, it was a success. The money was used by the Juniors to sponsor school activities. The greatest events of the year were the ordering of class rings and the traditional Ring Dance in May, where the rings were received and displayed. For the Juniors, it was a fast-moving year, full of hard work and high hopes. Thanks to the assistance of the class sponsors, Miss Taylor and Mrs. Cooke and the Junior guidance counselor, Mr. Booker, it was also a year of success. Elected by the Junior Class for the ' 68- ' 69 year were, David Thomas, pres.; Vikki Hanchin, v-pres.; Helen Paige, sec.; and Steve House, treas. Junior Homeroom Representatives were. Row 1: Sharon Gaskell, Vicki Amos, Rodney Jackson, Pete McCarthy, Malcolm Hooker. Row 2: Albert Hamlin, Gary Williams, Barbara Neville, Helen Paige, David Thomas, Richard Byrd.

Diane Randall confers with Miss Hollander and Mrs. Childs, sponsors. As new high school students, the sophomores began their year with mixed feelings of anticipation and uneasiness. The first task facing them was the election of officers. Dianne Randall became the Presi- dent for the ' 68- ' 69 year. Her Vice-president was William Catling, and elected to the office of Treasurer was Roger Hamilton. Secretary for the year was Martha Mervin, with Michael Jones as Chaplain. It didn ' t take long for the Sophomores to find themselves and settle down to the work and excite- ment of the year. They successfully sponsored the Sweetheart Dance in February and the Miss P.H.S. Contest in March. The year was a busy one, but thanks to the able sponsoring of Mrs. Childs and Miss Hollander, it was a happy and successful one. Class officers for ' 68- ' 69 were: Roger Hamilton, treas.; Diane Randall, pres.; William Catling, vice-pres.; Martha Mervin, sec.; and Mike Jones, chaplain. Sophomore Homeroom representatives were; 1st Row: Betty Ingram, Sarah Anderson, Carol Tillema, Marilyn Ward, Janie Anderson. 2nd Row: Rick Sarver, David Leverett, Donna Derr, and Peggy Kohl. 108 start their first year in High School Phillip Adkins Oliver Anderson Sarah Anderson Terri Anderson Dennis Ausborn Norman Bailey Gary Baldwin Lorraine Baldwin Roger Basnight Constance Batten John Beeler Mary Ann Berger Albert Berrian, Jr. Sharon Berry $ i? ft lift Stephen Berry Elizabeth Binks Willie Blizzard Janet Bluhm Donna Bohn Donald Bone Kermit Brice Sheron Broadnax Richard Brockington Harry Broskie Donna Broussard Mark Broussard Mike Jones gives the speech which helped make him Chaplain.

So hot! ... We can ' t be stopped! That was the cry that resounded off the walls of stadiums and gymnasiums, the sound that told the opposition of the Pirate Power. From nothing came Pembroke, to challenge, to conquer, and to meet defeat all in equal stride and grace. From the flowing movements of the fullback to the rippling, explosive power of the sprinter. Courage, Ability, and Desire were the three prime elements of every Pembroke athlete. Win or lose, the sheer thrill of competition could be seen in every match. Bull strength and elegance came naturally to Pembroke, and she used both assets as well as any other school. Records that were left unbroken do not point to a poor Pembroke athletic program but point rather to our hopes and confidence in future Pirate teams. 117 A hard practice makes a good performance in the The team limbers up for a big game. 1st Row: Mike Easterling, Richard Sarver, Larry Slade, George Roberts, Harry Williams, George Taliaferro, William Young, Rudolph Santiful, Richard Sreves, Michael Hobson, Harrie Jones. 2nd Row: Thomas Lewis, Malcomb Small, Willie Scott, David Horton, Fairfield Ward, Roy Bowser, Jackie Shields, James Kirkpatrick, Donald Highsmith, David Strock, Dennis Vaughn. 3rd Row: Calvin Pearson, Edward Green, Donald Peterkin, John Locey, Norman Biven, Henry Jacocks, Weldon Watkins, LeRoy Crosby, Richard Byrd, George Lee, Henry McCoy.

FOOTBALL In August 1968, seventy boys banded together to create Pembroke ' s first football team. They faced the oncoming season burdened by all the problems of a new team— inexperience, new coaches, new plays, and lack of team coordination. Although hindered by these drawbacks, they still went on to challenge Tidewater ' s toughest teams. Despite a series of disappointments, the fighting spirit of both team and fans never faltered. Triumphing once over the Ferguson Mariners, the Pirates concluded the season with a 1-8 record. Phillip Wilson makes a tight turn to dodge his York opponent. Rudolph Santiful puts in many hours of grueling practice. Pirate teammates anxiously await an opportunity to play. 119 Larry Slade and George Taliaferro receive honors by Malcomb Small gets the ball away without opposition. The opposition finds Larry Byrd hard to stop. Pirates open a hole for the runner. 120 being elected to the All Peninsula Football Team. The Mr. Everything trophy was presented to Larry Slade by the coaching staff. Larry possessed the many qualities desired in a good football player. Not only was he a good player but he also was able to get along with his teammates and to inspire cooperation among them. All of these things are found in Larry Slade. The coaches, the team, and the students are very proud of Mr. Everything. Other outstanding players who received special acknowledgements were Edward Green, Michael Hob- son, George Taliaferro, Calvin Pearson, and Malcomb Small. These students and the team put out their best in representing the school.

Although the matmen did not do as well as they would have liked, they held strenuous practice sessions and displayed notable team and individual enthusiasm throughout the season. Coach Tucker ' s pride in the team ' s determined efforts to overcome formidable opposition was apparent. Steve Boutwell hasn ' t quite made that all-important pin yet — but there is still hope. 122 Pirates participate in all sports So far, Pirates are leading - but did Bethel finally pass them?

Despite a season of disappointment, the team still participated in the William and Mary Invitational and the District Cross Country Track meet. The team was led by Donald Manago and Eugene Myers and coached by Mr. Harry Bennett. Myers takes first place at Bethel meet.

A third-place district standing, 14-6 overall, was only one of the many achievements this year. Among the many top scorers were Clarence Young, Edward Green, George Tali- aferro and Van Debrick. Players and managers, along with the coaches, were honored at a banquet held at the conclusion of the season. The oncoming juniors and seniors are looking forward to another year of excite- ment and wins. It ' s a tense moment, and the Pirates wait anxiously for the tap! Sorry, Ferguson! Edward Green is going to drop that ball right in. An easy lay-up gives Larry Moore two more points. five straight victories. Kenny Johnson gets set for a jump shot against the Trojans. Larry Moore sails up for a rebound. Van Debrick grabs another rebound, hopefully for a score. 127 Pembroke challenges the best in the Basketball Enthusiastic support from the student body con- tributed to the fighting spirit of the Pirate basketball team. The Pirates, in this first year of VHSL compe- tition, gave more seasoned competitors real workouts on the court. Victories for the Pirates came so often that the season ended with our team in third place in Peninsula standings. Mr. Robert Croft, coach, was justly proud of his hard-playing team. Needless to say, the student body was equally proud! In fact, the slogan soon became Wait until next year! Edward Green, Clarence Young, and Van Debrick admire their well-earned trophies.

The Pembroke Pirates had all three and maybe a little bit more, that ' s what made them Pirates. 130 William Young becomes Outstanding Track Star. Whether in victory or defeat, the track team put forth its best efforts in all meets. Coached by Mr. Emory Turner and Mr. Robert Bennett, our team gained valuable experience in leader- ship as well as participation. William Young received the award for most valuable player and other members received certificates and letters. The pros- pective juniors and seniors are looking forward to a year of enthusiasm and excitement. Merlin Ford puts his ability and skill to work for the Pirates.

Jim Bryant, Frank Cohen, and Rodney Harper were the Pirate tennis stars. This year ' s tennis team, under the watchful eye of Coach Harvey White, showed many of the qualities necessary to become a winner. Due to the lack of participation, many of the matches were lost because of forfeit. We are hopeful that our student participation in this sport will increase within the coming year. The players showed promise and gave their opponents competitive challenges. Rodney ' s great skill and determination prove forceful in one of his matches. 134 We pause to focus on some pertinent facets. Sport is a manifestation of man ' s striving. We note the stabbing desire for achievement and question its effect, be it burdensome or uplifting? We see the frivolity of the purely physical . . . and the ferocity of frustration. Yet we harken to the fabled triangle of opposition and marvel at its charged and aesthetic grace. 135 Sidney Crockett receives the Most Valuable Player Douglas Harrison puts his heart and soul into pitching a Pirate victory. Jackie Shields is all ready to try a steal for third. Baseball Tasting bitter defeat as well as sweet victory showed that the ' 69 team is on its way to future excellence. Led by Coaches West and Riddick and Captain Thomas the Pirates fought hard to win 4 out of 14 games. Sophomore Sidney Crockett received the award as the outstanding player. The juniors and seniors of the ' 69- ' 70 year are looking forward to a year of enthusiastic and spirited play. Certainly the experience they gained this year should help the team greatly.

Accomplishment, work, and recreation were the key words for the GRA this year. Headed by Glenda Bryant, the GRA participated in many activities: volleyball, basketball, softball, gymnastics, and field hockey. As field hockey was their favorite sport, they won all games played. Next year ' s students are looking forward to another year of sports, fun, and competi- tion. Donna is the only one to get her stick on the ball.

At least once a week there was an assembly, a concert, or a dance. The Pirates always rallied to support their school events. It was in the Pep Assemblies that the students expressed their support for the team. It was at Pembroke where Soul had a real meaning. All the dances, from the Military Ball to the Senior Prom, were anxiously awaited and well presented. Students worked hard to produce special events to prove Pembroke ' s sophistication and talent. A ctivities r 143 Assemblies with a Purpose were held at Pembroke Designed to familiarize and inform new students with the building and the system used at Pembroke, a unique orientation program opened the year. The purpose of this assembly was to ease the nerves of the Sophomores and Juniors who were attending Pem- broke for the first time. Assemblies not only covered orientation, but also elections for class officers and SCA officers, programs for holidays, and awards in sports and academics. This year we can truly say that these were Assemblies with a Purpose. Thanks to the DECA Club Pembroke students were warned and shown the consequences of shoplifting. The Mister Everything Award goes to Larry Slade for being the most valuable player. Proceeding with class business, the sophomores elect officers. Three Cheers for the Pirate Team Led by the Varsity Cheerleaders with Co-captains Linda Malone and Marilyn McKnight, the student body shows that Pirate spirit. Pep Assemblies “Spirit is the keyword that is familiar to every Pirate. Before every home football or basketball game. Pep assemblies were held to give the teams that extra boost to victory. Enthusiasm plus imagination plus initiative and provided by the cheerleaders and the Pep Club members were the inspiration for the entire student body. We Love Those Pirates gets an enthusiastic rendition from JV cheer- leaders. Lillian Tolliver and Rivers Taylor as Old Couple at the Game add laughter to a Pep Rally. 145 Linda Malone becomes Miss Homecoming The new Miss Homecoming, Linda Malone, fights back tears of joy as her escort, Ronald Wilson, and Edith Faye Clayton, Miss Pirate, look on. Harry Williams, Patricia Corbin, senior attendant, and Darnell Williams watch approvingly. After receiving her crown and a bouquet of roses. Miss Pirate, Edith Faye Clayton beams with gracious smiles. 1 Homecoming Before an expectant crowd, Linda Malone was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1968, by Edith Faye Clayton, Miss Pirate. This began the Homecom- ing festivities at Pembroke. During the half-time of the Bethel game, the Court was presented to the spectators. Each class was represented by two attendants, chosen in student elections. The Homecoming dance was held in the school cafeteria the next night. Music by The Third Estate provided for the dancing. The SCA Dance committee was responsible for the decorations and arrangements. At the Homecoming ceremonies, the four classes were represented by: Maria Williams, Red Boutwell, Reba Franks, Elwin Sanderson, Linda Malone, Ronald Wilson, Patricia Corbin, and Darnell Williams. Humble Pirates Give Thanks Thanksgiving Thanksgiving festivities began at Pembroke with a food drive. Each homeroom collected food or money to be distributed to needy families in the community. A special assembly for Thanksgiving was presided over by Mr. Smith. The A ' Cappella choir provided vocal music. A special touch was added when Lieutenant Short, from the Salvation Army, spoke about the meaning of Thanksgiving. He also accepted the boxes of food and money contributed by the Pembroke Pir ates to make a more bountiful Thanksgiving for others. Pamela Simpson, Dorothy Veney, and Vicki Jenkins of the Girls ' Chorus sing for the assembly. Y y . V ' rj The A ' Cappella Choir renders songs of thanks and glory. Peggy Jo Riley introduced the speaker. Lieutenant Short, to the as- sembled students. 147 The Yuletide Season Envelopes Pembroke The Pembroke band contributes its part to the Yuletide season with a medley of carols. Colonel Arthur Marsh gave a legendary account of the First Christmas to the student assembly. To show passersby that Pembroke had Christmas spirit, appropriate paintings were applied to the windows by Kenneth Hubbard and Janis Parker. Christmas Christmas spirit arrived at Pembroke in a series of activities. Decorated windows, bulletin boards, and a tree all heralded the season. A Toys for Tots drive by the Keyettes and financial support to the Daily Press Christmas Fund showed that Pembroke students remembered others. Christmas music and a legend highlighted the assem- bly for the students and faculty. No Christmas is complete without a tree. Putting the final touches on ours are Nora Anderson, Pat Gaesser, and Julie Vaughn. 148 Cobb becomes Highest Ranking Cadet. Marilyn Ward, Jeff Ruddell, Donna Broussard, and David Heilman talk by candlelight at the Military Ball. Junior Army ROTC On December 6, the first annual Military Ball was held. One of the highlights of the evening was the cake-cutting ceremony with sabres. Lt. Col. Johnson, from Hampton Institute ROTC, officiated in pre- senting senior Rudy Cobb as the highest ranking cadet. The evening was filled with candle light and music provided by the Handful of Soul band. The Army Jr. ROTC officers are Carl Johnson, James Arrington, Stephen Smith, Paul Scott, and Lt. Col. Rudy Cobb. The “Handful of Soul livened up the occasion with their tuneful music. Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Rudy Cobb stands rigidly erect as Mr. Szetela and Colonel Johnson pin on his silver insignia. 149 The A’Cappella Choir gives concerts. The A ' Cappella Choir renders selections from Kismet . The Boys ' Chorus also participated in the Spring Concert. Charles Keith sang a solo entitled Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley. Vocal harmony and school services are among the objectives of the A ' Cappella Choir. The choir suffered from a student shortage, but there was no problem in getting the students to take part as A ' Cappella mem- bers. Under the direction of Mrs. Janie Whiting, the choir achieved skillful and harmonious tones. With some musical background and a will to learn, there were no complications when the time came to per- form the Winter and Spring Concerts. Three students participated in All-Virginia. They were Lena Martin, Vivian Carr, and Rodney Jackson. Mrs. Whiting turns happily to receive the applause for the selection of How Blessed Are They . 150 Pembroke’s tuneful Brass Band plays often. The Marching Band, composed of seniors, juniors, and sophomores, had a very rewarding year. At first, there was the unfortunate problem of not having enough students in the course, then the word got around that there was a need for band students. The band participated in parades and local community functions. At the Annual Band Festival, the band was given a superior rating. It just goes to show that, if you ' ve worked to the best of your ability, even a small band can come out on top. Roxann Wilson, Elnora Staples, Lewis Allen and William Young are four of the seniors who participated in the spring concert. Charles Shepard on trumpet breaks into a solo of Riffin ' the Blues , with other members of the band. Every note counts as the band plays March of the Olympians. 151 Sharon Branch wins crown as Sweetheart Queen. Charmaine George, Pat Knight, Sharon Branch, Audrey Edler, Eunice Thomas, Vikki Hanchin and Sharon Berry wait anxiously for the naming of the Sweetheart Queen. Dancing to a slower musical pace are our Miss Sweetheart Queen, Sharon Branch, and her escort, Larry Slade. The sophomore plans for the first annual Sweet- heart Ball were put into action on Friday, February 15. Sharon Branch, a senior, was chosen as Valentine Sweetheart, with Audrey Edler and Eunice Thomas serving as her attendants. Representing the Junior Class were Patricia Knight and Vikki Hanchin. Representing the Sophomore Class were Sharon Berry and Charmaine George. A gala ball was held in the school cafeteria with the “New Handful of Soul supplying the entertainment. Brightening the winter season, the dance proved to be fun and entertaining for all. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn D. Childs take time out for dancing, while they also assist the sophomore class by serving at the Sweetheart Dance. 152 Exit the Body” and Girls in 509” are Hit Plays. Having just been attacked, Gwen Blackwell rushes to the local sheriff. Bill Cole, who is inquiring about a body in Ruth Crawley ' s closet. “Exit the Body and Girls in 509 are the three act plays that were given at Pembroke this year. Others given were Three on a Bench , which was performed at William and Mary College, and Pinch Me , the senior play. Under the direction of Miss Rena Horton, the actors did extremely well. We, the student body of Pembroke, wish to thank the drama department for their hard work and efforts in bring- ing to us these entertaining plays. Reading out of his Thief ' s Decoder Manual, the Thief explains to his accomplice. The effects of champagne which has been open since 1926 are terrible. Reporters Missy Hamilton, and Patricia Delaware take down the story given by Bob Kuhn and Elemuel Watts. 153 Hippies, Ho-bos, and Hillbillies roam Pembroke Halls. Of course, like all hobos, these are taking it nice and easy. A popular phrase, Do Your Thing , was making the rounds when a Sadie Hawkins Day appeared on our school calendar of events. There was a time when apparel for Sadie Hawkins Day consisted of straw hats, patched dungarees, and a bright red-checked shirt, but not in this day or time. Instead of a lot of hill folk roaming the halls, we had a combination of hippies, hobos, and hillbillies. Our Sadie Hawkins Day turned out to be an interesting and enjoyable Do Your Thing Day. Believe it or not, under this shapely figure and gorgeous attire is Trip Fraser, a very muscular young man. Mr. Booker intends to keep up with the latest dances by watching Cassandra Singleton do the “New Horse . Stepping lively with the beat are Bernard Acosta and Sandra Price. 154 Pembroke’s first Miss P.H.S. Janet Wikan Miss Vivian Carr displays her musical talent by singing Musetta ' s Waltz. The first Miss Pembroke High School was crowned on March 21. Ten girls competed for the title. They displayed their poise, appearance and talent. From the ten, Lillian Tolliver, second runner- up, and Sharon Berry, first runner-up, were selected. Miss Janet Wikan became Miss P.H.S. for ' 69-’70. Serving as master of ceremonies for the event was Dr. George Roberts, president of Pembroke ' s PTA. Miss Lillian Tolliver ends her expressive dance in a full split. Gwendolyn Blackwell, Vivian Carr, Cynthia Mundie, Marilyn Ward, Elonora Staples, Cathy Wallace, Eunice Thomas, and Ruth Crawley were contenders for the crown of Miss P.H.S., which Janet Wikan won. 155 Pembroke’s own Little Army introduces Officers of the ROTC were: Cadet Lt.

A visit to Fort Eustis gives the cadets an actual view of what they ' ve been studying in class. Added to other curriculum studies this year was Pembroke ' s own Little Army . Eighty-four cadets received their first year of military training. The cadets were introduced to drills, exercise of com- mand, army courtesy, customs, army history and marksmanship. The battalion was divided into A and B companies. Battalion commander was Cadet Lt. Col. Rudy Cobb. Company commanders were Cadet Capt. William Young and Cadet Capt. George Taliaferro. In the first few weeks, before uniforms were issued, the unit adjusted to drill. William Young receives new insignia from Col. Montrone and Cadet Maj. James IM. Arrington. After classroom and field drilling, the entire battalion is ready for their first parade — in front of the school. 157 Rings return and Juniors celebrate in Pembroke ' s gymnasium set the stage for the Junior Ring dance honoring next year ' s seniors. Spanish Knights was the theme for the dance, and the atmosphere before the dance was one of excitement and anticipation. Charlie McClinto and the Magnifi- cants provided the music. The first formal dance of the year proved to be one those attending will always remember, and it established precedents for others to follow. Trip Fraser knows her and seems to be enjoying the dance. A view through the traditional Ring gives us a glimpse of some of the happy couples. 158 an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement. Sharing punch and conversation are Colonel Montrone and Miss Phyllis Taylor. Missy Hamilton admires THE ring while Bruce Poston and his date look on. Danceable music and rhythms came from this group of talented musi- cians. It ' s a tradition — so Merle Evers and Cynthia Mundie keep it up! 159 Class Night has Message for Graduates. Making sure of all the details are Rita Clapp, Patricia Delaware and Calvin Pearson. Annette Washington, Roberta Bowers, Rene Borden and Ann Bowen give their undivided attention during the skit. Good old dependable Miss Horton makes sure everything is set for the Class Night skit with Chairman Cynthia Tucker. At all class night ceremonies the same thing is done, the reading of the Last Will and Testament, a skit of some type to reminisce on past events, and crackpot gifts to various members of the senior class. But, to the senior class that has lived these events and knows that times like these will never exist again, these are very special. Each senior knows that he will soon walk down another aisle very soon, but this time not to return to the carefree days of school life, but to face a waiting world. Class Night is not only to reminisce about foolish mistakes or careless blunders, but to plant in each senior ' s mind that these days are behind him and the future ahead. Giving out crackpot gifts are Benjamin Brokenburr and Gilda Smaw. 160 Pembroke produces new and unusual talent. The little old lady is Sherry Pridgen, giving stage directions to Vikki Amos. A Variety Show and two one act plays were sponsored by the senior class. In addition to these, a Comedy Fashion show was held to delight the audi- ence. Talent was displayed by all three grade levels. The entertainment varied from singing to dancing, from the playing of instruments to skit interludes . . . The fashions consisted of boys dressed as girls. Some of these famous models were James Arrington, Darnell Williams, Arlington Thomas, Howard Britt, and David Heilman. Pat Delaware, ready to portray the part of Mrs. Moore, puts final touches of make-up on Pete McCarthy, who participated in the fashion follies. Sonya Hudson and the Sole Makers, Beverly Willis, Roxann Wilson, and Annette Washington, do a song in the variety part, entitled Give Him Up. 161 Senior Class of 1 969 enjoy their first It can ' t all be vigorous movement and the slower tempo of a two-step proved to be diverting and calming. 162 For his scrapbook, Mr. Bland snaps Annette Washington and William Young. Moving and grooving with the music are Lionell Moore and Ann Bowen. Fulton Christian, Cynthia Tucker, Joyce Swann, and Larry Flanigan welcome relaxation and some cold punch. V 1 H HI and last Prom at Pembroke High. Prom Pembroke ' s first Senior Prom was held on May 29, 1969. The gala affair was in the transformed gym- nasium, a beautiful ballroom. Wanda McMillian and James Arrington as Prom chairmen, with Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Scott, sponsors, produced a memorable and wonderful evening for the seniors who attended. The theme for the evening was Shower of Stars , and class colors of blue and gold, and glittering stars suspended from the ceiling succeeded in transforming the gym completely. No senior who attended will forget the ' 69 Prom! One of the newest dances, the Meditation” is demonstrated by Janice Holmes and her escort. A souvenir picture for memory ' s sake is a necessity and Patricia Corbin and Edward Green make sure to get theirs. It ' s all over, cleanup is almost finished. Mrs. Cook, Audrey Edler, Jerri Bailey, James Arrington, and Stephen Smith now take 5 . 163 Graduation brought Pembroke’s And the senior girls, looking angelic, listen patiently to the graduation ceremony. Past the awe of their sophomore year; past the Christmas assemblies and study halls; past classes and detention halls; math classes and football seasons; the class of 1969 marched up to receive their diplomas from Mr. Cooper of the Hampton School Board. As they listened to the speeches, the students were aware that they would no longer be cushioned but would have to face an increasingly difficult future. I II miss you in my office, says Mr. Bland. Jeryl Bailey and Billy Joe Roberts stand for recognition of their scholarships. 164 first year to a suitable close. Calvin Peerson gets a motherly pat from the Senior Class Sponsor, Mrs. Cook. Solemnly making their exits, seniors will soon change their mood at the after-graduation parties. 165 With the Seniors, Mr. Szetela gave Senior girls nervously await the commencement of the graduation activities. The Rev. West, rather than giving absolution, settles for a mild benediction. A diploma is only a piece of parchment, but it has a great meaning for the student receiving it. It signifies the end of three years of high school and offers a chance for further education or a competitive position in gainful employment. Graduation is an individual ' s affair. It is the reward for the achievement of one of a person ' s first and most important goals in life. For a brief hour each student in the ceremony realizes his unity with the class and the importance of his high school experience. 166 his Last Will And Testament Audrey Elder, valedictorian, is presented a silver bowl by Mr. Szetela. A happy senior — one of many. The faculty got a more immediate reaction from the graduation exercises than did the seniors. Mrs. Davis got a headache; Mr. West got a cramped leg . . . 167 Many activities at Pembroke would not have been possible had not the community supported them. Organizations who required financial aid, like the Key Club, the Yearbook, and the Newspaper, turned to local merchants for help. Many merchants responded generously to our plea, and to these Pembroke is grateful. By simple ad selling, these merchants have taught many students the world of business and human understanding. To the patrons, we, the students of Pembroke extend our heartiest thanks for the aid you gave our school in starting. Pembroke is a good school and much of it came through donations. For those people who saw it a worthwhile venture, we hope that we have proved ourselves to you and will continue to do so. f9M dvertisements 169 STUART L.

High School graduates enter on the basis of academic record. But selectivity doesn’t stop there.

This year has been an important and successful one, for in charting a new course, we have established something that can never be erased — precedence. The customs and traditions that we have begun here will follow future Pirates in years to come. As this school year comes to an end, we can look back with pride on our achievements. If success can be measured by deeds, it is evident, not only by these pages, but also by the fondest memories of the entire Pembroke family, that 1968-1969 was truly success- ful. rji ■ - . r;vS m CORSAIR Staff Nora Anderson Kathy Barnes Rita Clapp Patricia Corbin Patricia Delaware Gloria Evans Stephanie Girard Victoria Hanchin Mary Henglein Michael Jones Robert Kuhn Michael Recant Peggy Riley Paul Scott Ross Struthers Cynthia T ucker 184
