During orientation the “Sophs” managed to lose some to their first day jitters, as Juniors and Seniors portrayed their Pembroke Spirit. Along with SCA President Ricky Arnold who welcomed the students, the cheerleaders and band performed while guides helped students find their new classes. The upperclassmen provided a few laughs through their skits “The Twelve Days of School”, “The Price Is Right”, and “Clubs”, while the Thespians provided food for thought in “Friends”. Mr. Fred Bockoven, our new fearless leader, commented on the importance of the high school years. Bill Rains, former PHS’er and SCA president, shared some of his experiences in Germany with the Exchange Program. Mr. Jim Horne, Exchange Program coordinator, elaborated on this exciting event. As the new students enthusiastically entered the halls of Pembroke for the first time, all antici¬ pated the beginning of an exciting and prosper¬ ous high school career. ► lr ’ Amidst the ever present confusion of the day, Mr. Jud Furlow sorts out the schedules of Sophomores Racine Davis and Cynthia Allison.

They held bake sales throughout the year to raise money for the induction of new members. Among the officers of NHS were: President — Michael Harrup Vice-President — Brian Corum Secretary — Robin Bartolutti Treasurer — Debbie Thibeault, replaced by Danny Carey when Debbie’s family was transferred to Japan. On May 15th, the NHS inducted twenty-one new members. They consisted of three Seniors and eigh¬ teen Juniors who displayed the NHS qualities throughout the year: Character, Leadership, Schol¬ arship and Service. A picnic was planned for June 8th at Gosnold’s Hope Park to welcome the new and bid the old members adieu!

To raise money for the club they ran the bookstore, which was open in the morning and during both lunches supplying forgetful students with neces¬ sary materials. They had a pie sale which also brought in some very important greens. Last winter the A.F.S. sponsored the “Teacher of the Year” contest. Students paid one cent a vote for their favorite teacher, and, like last year, there was a very slim margin between Miss Forrest and Mr. Norman. In the end Mr. Norman pulled it out with the help of faithful students. The A.F.S. also sponsored a student from Sweden. His name was Johan Masson. He arrived in the Summer of ’77 and was very eager to see and learn about the U.S. He was chosen to speak at Pembroke’s graduation where he told about his feelings toward the students, teachers, and Pembroke. On June 30, 1978, Johan re¬ turned to Sweden after a very eventful year. We wish him the best of luck and thank his host family, the Hepner’s, for their support which enabled the students of Pembroke to get to know Johan. In December, the A.F.S., along with the Spanish Club organized an exchange for six Costa Rican students to spend Christmas in Virginia. They went to parties, movies, and showed a few Pem¬ broke students how soccer should be played. They had a lot of fun and were reluctant to leave, but even the bad weather only delayed their departure for forty-five minutes. Two other students, Michael Szeps (Sweden) and Bar¬ bara Bieman (Germany), although not A.F.S. exchange students, were very active members of the club. Bar¬ bara is now attending William and Mary College and Michael is back in Sweden. 18 eign At Pembroke! Carol Condo, A.F.S. Presi¬ dent.

The Art League, or club, of PHS had been very lackadaisical in previous years, but with so many eager and tal¬ ented students, it became a facinating and enjoyable addition to Pembroke this year. All interested students were encour¬ aged to complete applications which were available, thus enabling Mrs. Childs to create the club. The Club participated in and spon¬ sored various Art Shows and displays in the Tidewater Area. It was not un¬ usual for at least one artist to come back with an award for their work, bringing fame and recognition to Pembroke High. SONGBIRDS KNOW THEIR NOTES pFjl Sf i A’Cappella members tell their audi¬ ence why they love Christmas. Under the hot lights, Sheila Fiar, Karen I Strong, Jftd Terri Ewell can’t convince Brian Congrove to make “Whoop-pee!’!. Ensemble members Jack Jernigan, Tami Bryant, and Stewart Welch do some Spring cleaning in the music files. One of the most active organizations at P.H.S. would have to be the Choral De¬ partment. Sponsored, by Miss Betsy Forrest, the A’Capella Choir, Ensem¬ ble, and Girl’s Chorus provided enter¬ tainment during the Christmas season and Spring. The A’Cappella Choir, consisting of approximately 62 singers, studied and learned musical arrangements which were both unaccompanied and accom¬ panied. The Girl’s Chorus, open to any female student, studied music written for female singers. Selected members of the A’Cappella Choir formed the Ensemble. These tal¬ ented students sang jazz, madrigals, and pop tunes. However, the Ensemble is unique in that their routines are choreographed. They performed for such Associations as the Hampton Men’s Clubs, churches, and schools. In May, selected choir members jour¬ neyed to our Nation’s Capital to see the production, “Annie.” After receiving “farewell wishes” from the state police, the exhausted crew headed home to rest and relaxation. Pat Barnette, Fraiser Livingston, Sheila Fair, and Wayne Hunt “love that beat.” 21 SINGERS PUT PIZZAZ !

Trading their woolen uniforms for pastel dresses and three-piece suits, the Band was ready for their Annual Spring Concert in May. On May 31, the Band decided to “pat itself on the back” for a job well done by co¬ sponsoring a Banquet with the Choral Department for musicians and their families. Certianly the most valuable musician in Pembroke High School was Steve Rossman. Not only was he chosen to be a member of the Virginia State Chorus, he was a member of the Mac¬ Donalds All-American Band and marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Band, under the direction pf Mr. Frank Birdwell. uring the Spring Concert, David awyer and David Berkelo make a andsome trio while playing “Bugler’s oliday.” WITH HORNS Bend and Stretch!

Tucker points with the aid of n Pollard. The Pembroke Players presented two productions this year, which kept them busy with set construction, makeup, and acting. The plays were used as fund-raising events, and monies col¬ lected paid bills and bought new theat¬ rical supplies. The two year old club, led by Mrs. Marilyn Tucker, worked well to estab¬ lish its name throughout Pembroke’s halls. Vice-President and right-hand man of Eddie Dearing was James Boyd. Secre¬ tary was Nancy Nabors and treasurer was Laura Feist. IMAGINATION AT WORK The Thespian Society is composed of hard-working students who have suc¬ cessfully accumulated credit for hours put into Drama and the Theater. These deserving students, using their com¬ bined talents, endeavored to produce two plays this season, “Headin’ for A Weddin’ ” and along with the Music Department, “The Fantasticks.” In May, the 1977 Thespian Society in¬ ducted new members. The “Thessie’s” program included the history of Drama and the Society. 1977-78 Thespian Society, LaW - - .v ’i SVWV J President Eddie Dearing doesn’t have to pretend that he is also a singer. FRENCHIES KEEP FIT DESPITE CUISINE Keeping with tradition, the French Club was led by a Junior, Mike Casey. Along with fellow officers. Sue Arlt, Vice-President, Allison VanLanding- ham. Secretary, and Andrea Miller, treasurer, “le president” coordinated a “Tour de France” bikeride in October. As winter neared, the French Club’s ac¬ tivities moved indoors with a crepe party at Gwen Petrie’s house. The members continued delving into French quisine by holding a fondue party in January in the home of Doug Gendron. In the Spring, the members of the French Club sold French hard candies and chocolates which had been extremely popular with Pirates in past years. The French Club celebrated the ending of school by travelling to Portsmouth where they encountered the famous five-course dinner at Maison de Michelle. As the members and Sponsor Mrs. Durr, squeezed into their cars to return home, they vowed to hold another bikeride to counteract the extra pounds!! ■i We.fi.

VMH ' 1 “THE RED STREAK” LEADS STAFF The one who headaches — Editor. “Faster than a laser beam scorching the sky! ...” RZDZ of Starwars? Nope. It was merely Miss Vicki Chamberlin and her trusty red pencil as she whizzed through staff member’s articles. The very compe¬ tent newspaper staff, headed by David Williamson, managed to com¬ plete deadlines so that the Pirateer could be published each month. The Pirateer was the student’s paper filled with articles, artwork, and poems created by them. The staff also tried to include articles about the community and world, as well as school events. The issues which were published during the school year served as a record of fads which were popular among students. They ranged from the harmless and fun “Space Dust” to the increasing use of drugs in school. Truly the staff completed their jobs as reporters of P.H.S. 29 GERMAN CLUB HOSTS EXCHANGE Obviously Robert MacT.aeblin didn’t get the joke that was tnfd trr-fierm.an’ | This year, the German Club spent most of its time and effort raising money and sponsoring raffles and sales to finance the German Ex¬ change Program. The officers, as well as the rest of the club, worked very hard this year to make the exchange with Germany possible. It did, however, find time and money to take a small cultural experience of dining out for a complete German meal at “Das Waldcafe.” An attempt was made to attend the Tri-State Convention in Ches¬ ter, Va. but plans fell through. The German Club hoped at the end of the year to give a small scholarship to a deserving Senior, chosen by a committee of stu¬ dents and Faculty, as in years past. 30 This was the fifth year of the cultural German Exchange for Pembroke and Gymnasium Grossburgwedel located near Hanover. The exchange was once again very successful and enjoyable. The crew of fifteen German students, headed by Mr. Helmut Menke, stayed with host brothers and sisters for three weeks. The students took a trip to Washington, D.C. which proved to be very fulfilled and provided a chance for the students to get better aquainted. When the Ameri¬ cans travel to Germany this summer, they usually take a trip to visit Berlin. Each side tries to plan as many social events as possible. Mr. Horne, German teacher at P.H.S. and organizer of the Exchange, said that the group was one of the best. There were no problems and the host families and exchange students were extremely com¬ patible, as the sad farewell at the Airport bore witness to. The host families prom¬ ised to keep in touch. P.H.S. Pirates hope to continue the pro¬ gram but of course, all will depend on the future of P.H.S. itself. Herr Horne and Herr Menke, Sponsors. The Exchangers pause to reflect on the events of a full and busy day. Keyettes Take on The World Its 10:00 am. January 28 and where are the Keyettes? Why they’re rocking (yes in rocking ch airs) at Coliseum Mall. A Rock-A-Thon for the American Cancer Society was one of the many service projects the Keyettes engaged in during the year. Six Keyettes attended the International Con¬ vention in Washington D.C. this year. They brought home one of the biggest awards pos¬ sible — a 1st place trophy for service. They were also commended for their contribution to the Cancer Society. “What am 1 going to wear tomorrow?” wonders Sheila Fair at a Keyette meet ' (And Win!) kneeling — left to right ' ; con, Joy Miller, Carol C Angie Cooke, Betsy Ba- . , —_ .do, Patti Wvertz, ' Freda Rosso, Laurie Rose.

Although a separate entity from the Keyettes, the Key Clubbers found themselves involved in many Keyette- sponsored activities. They provided rocking chairs for the Keyette Rock-a- Thon. The group co-sponsored the cus¬ tomary Thanksgiving Drive in Novem¬ ber, and travelled Hampton streets de¬ livering prepared baskets to needy families. Officers for the 1977-78 Key Club were Jack Jernigan, President, David Fergu¬ son, Vice-President, Ricky Arnold, Secretary, Danny Carey, Treasurer, and Chris Brown, Sergeant-in-Arms. The officers co-ordinated a Game-A-Thon in which Key Clubbers played Monopoly for 15 hours to raise money for The Heart Association. The Key Club, sponsored by “Uncle Chuckie” Norman and the Kiwanis of Hampton, visited the children’s ward of Hampton General, bringing joy and laughter to very special children of the community. For fun, the Key Clubbers participated in the Key Club Basketball Tourna¬ ment along with the other Key Clubbers of Hampton. The outstanding and extra-special gen¬ tlemen of the Key Club not only bet¬ tered the reputation of their club, but gave of themselves to Pembroke and their community. BUSINESS BOOMS Co-Operative Education Classes FOR C.O.E., V.I.C.A. In past years, the Business and Voca¬ tional Departments had been pushed into the backgrounds, as Pembroke put more emphasis on sports and college prep programs. Not so this year! The Business Department had planted its roots and prepared to reap its harvest. Business students were winning awards “right and left”, and competing for high paying jobs in the school system and at NASA. Donna Thibodeau and Mike Harrup really liberated the Business world when they competed (and won!) first places in State Competitions in short¬ hand and accounting-Vive la differ¬ ence! “Smile, Donna, the wax won’t drip!” 35 President Ricky Arnold Mrs. Latham the group. ents an issue before Ricky Arnold listens as members toss around ideas.

Although the S.C.A. was small, the officers managed to use this fact to their advantage. Vice President Eddie Dearing headed the Inter-Club Coun¬ cil, the group which organized school club events during the year. Anita Simpson recorded the S.C.A.’s ideas and motions, while Treasurer Andrea Miller kept her eye on the cash. Despite the fact that Pembroke was not allowed to have a bonfire during Homecoming because of another schools destructiveness, the S.C.A. worked with the cheerleaders to make Homecoming memorable. They also provided new additions to Pembroke’s collection of vending machines. STUDENT ASSISTANTS HELP OUT t Assistants of 1977-’78 � c t w r i _ L The Student Assistants were kept quite busy this year carrying passes to students anxious to get out of class, filing secret info about each student and typing every now and then. They worked in the office and guidance department lending a hand when the going was rough. They were very helpful in keeping things running smoothly. Good Work! A typical class seen by a pass carrying stu¬ dent assistant. _ « Mj 38 DETERMINED ARE DEDICATED TO D.E.C.A. Ever wonder what D.E.C.A. stands for? Well, Pembroke’s got the secret! It’s “Distributive Education Clubs of America.” D.E.C.A. provides the op¬ portunity for students to become in¬ volved in their community, while learn¬ ing a skill which will help them later in life. pmp Pirate Jocks Prove Thier Worth through KEEP RIGHT Members of the Varsity Club were: sitting: Sue Mikula, Angie May, Jack Jemigan, kneeling: Mel DeLaGarza, Hiram Pritchett, Jeff Bethea.

The Varsity Club of course. To become a member one must have earned a varsity letter in any sport. This year’s Varsity Club stayed involved by sponsoring such activities as Pembroke’s first annual basketball Christmas Tournament, a spring fashion show, and the consessi on stand at basketball games. The members ran the stand which offered candy and cokes to hungry fans. The club sponsors were Coaches Mebane and Napper. Their persistance and perserverance helped make the club’s activities so successful. Members of the Varsity Club worked the concession stitfid at basketball i games. � � % 40 The ROTC Drill Team always added a bit of flamboyancy to the pep ralliesl Dyill Fever caught almost everyone at (Pembroke, as these “characters” dem- Few schools on the Peninsula are lucky enough to have as fine an ROTC pro¬ gram as is offered here at Pembroke.

The club also treated the Costa Ri¬ cans with the perfect Christmas gifts — Pembroke High T-shirts. )dy doesn’t speak En il’m gonna go loco!” AT P.H.S. i Costa Rican Exchange This school year brought a special exchange between Pembroke and the Liceo de Costa Rica in San Jose, Costa Rica. The exchange is an outgrowth of our Spanish teacher. Miss Mary Sandy’s expe¬ rience as an American Field Ser¬ vice Exchange Educator in the Summer of 1977. Miss Sandy taught at the Liceo and while there conceived the idea of a di¬ rect exchange between our school and theirs. The students and teachers of the Liceo were very enthusiastic about the possibility of such an exchange. In December, six students and a teacher, Senora Olga Ardon, ar¬ rived to spend a month with Pembroke families. They at¬ tended school with their host brothers and sisters, took in the local sights and had an opportu¬ nity to experience American Cul¬ ture first hand. A very special memory for all was sharing Christmas together. In June, 1978 four Pembroke students Shelly Claude, Carol Bartolutti, Shawn Conroy and Greg Humpherys will leave to spend a month in San Jose. The group will be accompanied by , Mrs. Sue Argabright, a Bethel Spanish Teacher. Senora Olga Ardon and Miss Mary Sandy Ricky Arnold and Javier Torres I?

But the students of the CORSAIR staff began the year fil¬ led with high hopes and determination. Editors Laurie Rose and Drema Dial “held the reins” and occasionally “pushed” when pushing was needed. Veteran Robin Bartollutti (not pic¬ tured) was the “phantom of the annual room”, slipping in l ong enough to pick up work and bring it back completed. Jay Rose and Betsy Bacon handled sports, and “It’s gonna be different next year!” was their familiar cry. Joy Miller put in her “two cents” while Carol Condo gave up her summer to type. “Daddy C” Carmines “advised” the staff and diligently told joke after joke to keep the staff s spirit up. f M , V v ’ •■ . nanw i � i iw w « wbj� mh MHMMH ' THREE B ' s COMMAND PIRATE CREW In Pembroke’s tenth year, Mr. Frederic T. Bockoven replaced Mr. Albert H. Smith as Principal. Undaunted by the fact that he was the “new kid on the block”, Mr. Bockoven relied on his military background to provide the discipline so sorely needed at PHS. Mr. Southey Booker, our every-ready and always reliable assistant principal, worked behind the scenes to create a favorable school atmosphere. Keeping with tradition, Mr. Booker proudly an¬ nounced scholarships and financial aid awarded to Graduating Seniors before wishing them well and “Godspeed.” Mr. Harry Bennett, formerly a member of the Social Studies department, step¬ ped up to assist Mr. Bockoven and Mr. Booker with Administrative Activities. I Mr. Harry Bennett, a famil face in the halls after assum¬ ing his, new position as Ass: tant ' m Assistant Principal Mr. Southey Booker and his famous smile. 1 “THE ENFORCERS” There’s no need to wonder who keeps track of the Pirates during the school year. Mrs. Saundra Rainey and Mr. H oward Jackson spent their days shuffling records, signing those pink and “not so favorable” green excuse slips, and trying to keep the students in line. Mr. Donald Boston, starting his second year at PHS, was accepted by the stu¬ dents as the “Big Guy in the hall who means business.” Although Mr. Boston did really mean business, it was discov¬ ered that he wasn’t so bad after all. It was not unusual to see him at various Sporting events cheering on the Pirate teams, or just talking to students. COUNSELORS CRAVE Since the Guidance Department is re¬ sponsible for “guiding” students, the Counselors try their best to get to know the students at Pembroke as individuals. Pembroke has always had a reputation of being the smallest (and consequently the worst) high school on the Pennisula. Yet the Counselors, Mrs. Eylese Latham, Mrs. Ruth Simmons, Mrs. Gloria Phelps, Mr. Gerald Hall, Mrs. Mary Lewis, and M iss Ida Randolph, Secretary, realize that this is a misconception. Recently Mrs. Latham, who has been here since PHS’s existance, summed up her feelings about Pembroke and its students: “This (1968) was the first year of the change from Phoenix (the city’s all black high school) to Pembroke (an integrated high school). Faculty and students faced many and varied changes in procedures, customs, and activities. I was especially impressed by the willingness on both sides to cooperate, to accept changes, and to compromise. There seemed to be an overall desire to make the new school a success in spite of former feelings or loyalties. Pembroke has maintained an espirit de corps and a fighting spirit to succeed in spite of limitations in size, facilities, and support. It has achieved many fine things, fallen short of some goals, but hopefully will continue in the tradition of mutual helpfulness and cooperation with which it began in J968.” COMPANY . . . RANDOLPH READIES RECORDS, HALL SEEKS JOBS Mrs. Mary Lewis, Gifted Students Pro¬ gram; “Rookie on the Beat.” I , ' JN 49 WOMEN BEHIND “THE MAN . . . “Beh ind every successful man is an office full of able-minded Secretaries!” Just a saying? Well not at Pembroke. Although Mr. Bockoven runs a tight ship, he could not possibly survive without the aid of the office helpers. Mrs. Shirley Wil¬ liams has the undeniable “pleasure” of being book¬ keeper for Pembroke High. M rs. Wa n da McErle an, in her second year at PHS, handles typical office duties and also takes on the respon¬ sibility of readying Seniors for Graduation. Newcomer Miss Carolyn Bowers types, answers the phone, takes care of students’ requests, and makes even the rainy days bright when she smiles. The antics of the office can be harrowing, yet the Trio never loses its cool (visibly, that is!!) while rendering valuable support to all Pirates. Mrs. Shirley Williams: another bottle of Anacin?!’ I ‘Where’s Miss Carolyn Bowers gonna like it here.’ I think ITfr Mrs. Wanda McErlean love to kill a Senior!” Sometimes I’d KEEP PIRATE CREW COOL Nurse James Mrs. Bessie Covington and Mrs. Sophronia Cherry, like the main office Secretaries, keep Pembroke at its best. However, these ladies are responsible for scheduling and correcting conflicts in students’ schedules. Mrs. Imogene James, PHS’s “lady-in- white” is one of the greatest assets Pem¬ broke has ever had. Nurse James’ presence is felt at sporting events, and her face is a familiar one in time of need. She sponsors the Varsity Cheerleaders, and is responsi¬ ble for the success of the Red Cross Blood Donors Drive. Thanks, “Guys”! Foe4hott 1 1 turn ■ Before a meet, masterminds Doug Walker and Ricky Arnold discuss strategy. Being one of the least recognized of all the sports is the main handicap which the Cross Country team must overcome in order to achieve success. This years team tried valiantly to overcome this problem, but couldn’t. Thus, as anticipated, the team finished with a losing record. Team unity was the major asset which kept the drive in all the runners. Al¬ though they finished last in the district, the runners had many good times and represented the school faithfully. 33 55 Although the football team didn’t end up with a win¬ ning season, they did experience a bizarre one. From an opening forfeit win which was not known until after the season, to the suicidal craziness of the Chinese Bandits, the Pirate gridders displayed the true unique¬ ness of Pembroke High. Even though the final record of 4-5 doesn’t reflect the true ability of the team, a major statistic which does is the fact that ten Pirates were selected to the All District Football Team. The year was highlighted with a victory against district foe York. Not only did the team defeat York for the first time in history, but also spoiled their Homeco ming. All in all, the season provided exciting entertainment for the fans and a third place district finish for the team. While Head Coach Howard Jackson looks on at left, Assistant Coach Tom Millen discusses strategy with Kenny Blizzard.

V 4 W It takes two to take one Pirate down. Varsity Cheerleading: The PHS Spark Plug Returning from last year’s varsity squad were Dena Manning, Tracy Thompson, and Deborah Younger. The other girls were either ex-J.V. cheerleaders or newcomers to cheering at P.H.S. Unlike all other sports, cheerleading is a year- round activity. Beginning in May, and practicing three times a week throughout the summer, the varsity squad strived to represent P.H.S. well at camp in August. The 77-78 squad came back from camp, held at O.D.U., with the spirit stick and various ribbons for their outstanding ability. The girls even risked their lives in the line of duty, building new, imaginative, and sometimes dangerous stunts. Mrs. James, their sponsor, struggled through all these new endeavors with the squad. Her efforts were greatly appreciated by the girls, who often wondered why she hadn’t tried-out herself. nother P.H.S. touchdown set cheerleading exhuber nce. JV CHEERLEADING The Junior Varsity cheerleaders started at a slight dis¬ advantage this year due to the late try-out date. How¬ ever, cheerleaders don’t give up, so they worked like wildfire to get ready for their debuts as high school cheerleaders. The lack of a J.V. football team gave the girls a little extra time to order uniforms, learn cheers, and become organized. Mrs. Crosby, the J.V. sponsor, gave much support to their cause, and soon the girls were on their way. The J.V. cheerleaders led the sophomores at pep rallys, performing cheers, and doing chants to encourage their class to come out and support the Pirate team. Anita Simpson raised her tomahawk — but not in time to save her scalp from the mighty Pirates. Despite rain and chilly conditions, homecoming was a memora¬ ble occasion. The week before the game was packed with spirit- oriented activities based on the theme “This is the year of the Pirate.” The second annual parade, scheduled to proceed the game was cancelled due to the weather. This did not dampen Pembroke’s homecoming spirit, however. The stands were full of exuberant Pirate fans, who, with the leadership of the cheerlead¬ ers, supported the Pembroke cause. Even with this spirited turn¬ out, the Pirates fell short of their cross-town rival, Kecoughtan 20 - 0 . Halftime ceremonies included the introduction of the homecom¬ ing court and the presentation of Linda Meyer, the 1977-78 home¬ coming queen, escorted by John Orzechowski. The crowning of the queen was performed at the dance Friday evening. The court consisted of the Junior attendants, Lynn Flythe and Angela Bryant and the sophomore attendants Shelly Claude and Kim Sawyer. «|3 Linda Meyer, the 1977-78 homecoming queen was escorted by John Orzechowski i during homecoming activities.

The Senior class dominated the spirit activities, however the juniors prevailed over the pep rally, held on Friday. The pep rally succeeded in psyching up the players through a skit and dance performed by cheerlead¬ ers, along with band selections and the usual class competi¬ tion. % The Varsity cheerleaders really know how to get “fired up” for a game.

The Basketball team achieved a first this year by captur¬ ing the District Championship. Playing with a complete team effort, the Pirate five, (with invaluable bench sup¬ port), showed other teams what quality basketball really looked like. Head coach Bill Napper attributed the success to a solid defense, a complete team concept, and good old fashioned hard work! Every one of the team’s five starters was chosen as either 1st or 2nd All District, or Honorable Mention. Yahar- borough Roberts, only a junior, was regarded as the teams top player as he made 1st team All District and 2nd team All Region. In regional play the Pirates won two big contests to make it to the finals which would have sent them to the state championships. The Pirates didn’t fare as well in the championship game against District foe Bruton, losing a heartbreaker 55-54. But this unfortunate loss didn’t spoil the most successful season in Pirate history.

The JV Basketball team followed the exam pie set by the varsity team and won the district cham¬ pionship; thus giving Pembroke a monopoly on district titles in bas¬ ketball. Under the eminently qualified leadership of Tom Millen, the team was able to go on to the championship game against Gloucester and walk away on top 65-55. This was ironic since the only losses suffered during the year were against these same Dukes. Willie Flemming, Dan Curry, and MVP Kurt Hackney were the top players for the team which never yielded to the opposition. 64 They can, because they think they can These supporters seem pleased with the score.

Coached by Miss Brown and .assisted by Miss Baldwin the gymnastics team continu¬ ally raised their standards. This team was composed of underclassmen and first year gymnasts who are hopefuls for next year’s team. The team competed in every event including floor exercises, uneven parallel bars, balance beam and vaulting. Two males Earnest Courtney and Tony Wicker contri¬ buted to the team with their high vaulting scores. This was a great advancement from last years team and we are hoping to see even more achievement in the future. Carla Pugh shows her grace and agility on her floor exercises.

But in truth, the Pirates did more than just rebuild. Instead the ambitious young wrestlers scratched and clawed their way to a strongly respectable season. Behind the competent leadership of Coach Mac Piercy, the wrestlers captured both second in the district and the region, and sixth in the state. Next year is looking all the more optimistic as there is only one varsity wrest ler graduating. Eight Pembroke wrestlers qualified in the state tourna¬ ment and four finished in the top six of their respective weight class. The four were Ted Sprague, fourth, at 119 lbs.; Jimmy Deane, fifth, at 155 lbs.; Brian Botkin, sixth, at 145 lbs.; and Tyrone Jones the Virginia State Wrestling Champion at 98 lbs. Congratulations to the individual standouts and the entire wrestling team. 66 Tyrone Jones uses quickness and strength to get advantage¬ ous position.

However, this highly- spirited team was not hampered by this fact. They went into every game with the attitude that win or lose, they had repre¬ sented Pembroke well. Miss Rathbun, the gals’ varsity team coach felt that the 77-78 team had the most spunk she had seen in many a season. The 77-78 J.V. team, coached by Miss Whitcomb, was the first girls’ J.V. basketball team at Pembroke. Miss Whitcomb com¬ mented that she expected to see these girls next year on the Varsity team. Although the gals’ basketball teams did not do as well as they would have liked, they displayed enthusiasm and team spirit throughout the season.

The tennis team was by far the most successful team in Pembroke’s history. The team easily won the District and Regional titles before a 5-4 upset in state play. The team set many records this year; it was the first tennis team ever to go to State, and the first to have the State doubles champions, Mike Casey and Danny Carey. There were many individual standouts during the course of the year; Danny Carey the Re¬ gional singles champ and third in State, Mike Casey the District singles champ, and Chris Brown’s and Brian Corum’s undefeated seasons. Congratulations to the greatest team in Pembroke’s histo¬ ry! the State doubles cham¬ pionship, Casey and Carey congratulate their opponents. Mike Casey puts everything into his fly¬ ing forehand. W Good Luck is extended to the tennis team as signified by the beautiful cake. 71 A high finish does not always reflect the true ability of a team. Thus was the case of the track team. Although the team finished fourth in the district, there were many bright and optimistic moments for the track team and many outstanding individual ac¬ complishments. The team sent seven men to the Regional track meet and two to State. The major problem encountered by the team was a lack of depth. In many instances one man was called upon to perform in three or four different events. Individual accomplishments were the high¬ light of the year; Dennis Johnson setting a school record with a discus throw of 138 feet, MVP Ricky Arnold setting records in both low and high hurdles, and the 880 relay team’s record setting romp. 0 Greg Hightower lets the shot fly as Coach Tom Millen looks on. Jeff Bethea floats with the wind as he completes a successful jump.

The baseball team began its season this year with a bang. After an auspicious 3-0 start, the baseball team looked like serious contenders for the district championship. Fan interest was high early in the year, and added fire to the spark set by the spirited ballplayers. But then the floor fell out; the team regressed as fan support did also. The team won only three of its last thirteen games yet finished with a respectable 6-10 ledger. Probably the most disappointing statistic was that which showed Pembroke last in the district. Hitting was the forte of the baseball team. The team ended up with four players batting over .300 and a team batting average of .286. Pitching and defense were an exact opposite of the hitting strength. In many games the team was able to score up to ten runs, yet lost. Sophomore Mike Skalski, was the team MVP and with a strong returning nucleus, the Pi¬ rates are looking for a good year in ’79. As the bench surveys the situation, Nick Spiridigliozzi and Ernest Lyles ready themselves to hit. 75 Girl Softballers Go Down Swinging OPPONENT P.H.S. Bruton P.H.S. Gloucester P.H.S. York P.H.S. Tabb Girls Softball kicked off the season with many new faces and, of course, new talent. This, coupled with the returning girls helped make this the second best season girl’s softball has ever had. Since softball is not what would be called a major P.H.S. sport, the girls had to work extra hard OUTCOME to b e recognized. This meant a lot of practice and dedication to the L cause. Th is caused the girls to become very close which resulted in a L well-rounded team. Standouts on the Softball Team included such names as: Freda Rosso, Sue Mikula, Angie May, Kim Elfam, Mary Ryan, and Julie May. New faces in the crowd were: Monique Arnault, Donna Arnold, and Linda Melochick. The girls were coached by Ms. Brown and her diligent assistant coach John Bateman. Members of the softball team walk away from a game dis-heartened but not disuaded. “What am I doing out here?!?’’ asks Mary Ryan. possibilities of Freda Rosso weigh stealing to second Well at th ey Sue Mikula gives broke whack.

At the beginning of this track season it looked as though the girls track team was going to pick up right where it left off last season-undefeated. How¬ ever, as the season progressed the team dwindled down to a handful of girls who had to pose as a team. These girls were always outnumbered at meets and some of them had to run in three or four events to compensate for their small number. Coached by Mr. Sherrard, these girls did work hard to represent P.H.S. in district meets. They may not have been as formidable as past teams, but ounce for ounce they were equally as mighty. Returning next year will be; Ann Murray, Teri Har¬ rell, Jackie Merkel, Dana Nelson and other out¬ standing sophomore runners.

Although the golf team finished fourth in the district, it still managed to tie the school record for wins with two. The team improved greatly over last year and with all members returning, should do even better next year. Mark Rogers was the outstanding golfer, making it all the way to Regionals. Since Golf is the most indi¬ vidualistic sport, it is up to the team members to practice, improve, and set their goal to be the best golf team in Pembroke’s history next year. . j - a rea . s -■ • • -t ' ■ - . •« ' ' Mark Miller shows good form as he nears contact.

In effect, they were trying to do in one season, what others do in two. Nevertheless, with a determined coach and nine “wild and crazy” girls, the team made its mark on the York River district. Whether they won or lost, the girls were never dis-heartened and were known in district play as a team with good sportsmanship. Unfor¬ tunately, the team will be without a few of its key members next year. Leaving the team are: Mary Moore, Gwen Petrie, Drema Dial, and Jill Chain. Returning for another “notable” season will be: Betsy Bacon, Terri Ewell, Sue Cleveland, Maria Cooke, and Sharon Eley.

Fine Arts ■ Laughing as a student catches her mistake, Ms. Whitcoml tells them that “even a teacher can make mistakes.” C’mon! Even I thought up better excuses than that! laughs Ms. For¬ rest. Looking at a student’s piece of art, Mrs. Childs seems to wonder if this is what teaching is all about. Ms. Ditty looks as if she can’t believe her eyes — can the students really be working? 130 THE LIBRARY HAS WHAT YOU WANT Smiling, Mrs. Young adjusts her cor¬ sage — a nice touch to brighten up anyone’s day. BOOKS, MAGS, ART, BOOKS The library went a thorough “spring cleaning” this year. Here we see Mrs. Mary Estes doing her share of the work. Mrs. Susie Reade states her point emphatically. There will be no switching of the Dewey Decimal Sys¬ tem! X 131 GOVERNMENT CLASSES Completing the diverse History department are Mrs. Ashby Williams, Mr. Ross Kearney, Mrs. Julia Maclnturf, and Mrs. Kevin Blel- loch. Although both Mrs. Maclnturf and Mr. Blelloch were new to PHS this year, they quic kly learned the “tricks of the trade.” To make learning more interesting, the three government teachers, Mrs. Maclnturf, Mr. Kearney, and Mrs. Williams, took their classes places where they could see “govern¬ ment in action.” The classes visited the police station, and the criminal and civil courts. In May, under Mrs. MacInturPs and Mr. Kear¬ ney’s guidance, several classes went to Washington D.C. to tour the Supreme Court, the Justice Department, and the Capital where they met our representative, Paul Tri- ble. Mrs. Julia Maclnturf laughs as she grades her students’ tests. One wonders if they laughed at their grades! Mrs. Maclnturf has a BA from Longwood. We asked the Department Chairperson Mrs. Ashby Williams, what she thought of Pem¬ broke Then (in 1971), and Now. THEN: The students were anti-everything — the school, proms, games, “the establish¬ ment.” They were trying to change the world and accomplished nothing. NOW: The Students now see the world in a more positive way. They are working to make themselves better people and, in the process, have made the world better. I sa Mr. Ross Kearney 111 shows his stu dents how to flick a Bic correctly. Mr Kearney has a BA from ODU. 132 PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS Mrs. Ashby Williams warns her stu¬ dents on the perils of apathetic people in government. Mrs. Williams holds a BA from ODU. Looking belligerent, his “don’t- bother-me” look gives Mr. Kevin Biel- loch the appearance of being a student. ■ 133 Sociology; Pointing his finger, Mr. Thomas Riley lells us exactly what Sociology is. Mr. Riley holds.a BA from Brooklyn Cok lege and a MS from the University Southern Califoria. 5 1 s t o r The History department at Pembroke is the second largest. It consists of eight teachers who convey to students their knowl¬ edge of Government, History, and Sociology. We are fortunate here at Pembroke to have a varied lot of educators. They bring their backgrounds and experiences with them into the classroom, truly making history come alive for their students. Mr. Riley tells his students of his “war experiences” — even throwing in foreign words to liven things up. Mr. Parks relates his encounters with Civil Rights; Mrs. McLain, a new teacher, tells of other schools where she taught and Mr. Mapp tells baseball stories (Historic ones of course)! fill S m. Shilling broadly, Mr. Parks pauses dur¬ ing a free moment in his busy schedule. Mr. ; Parks is also the SCA advisor and tennis Coach. Completely immersed in the war story he’s telling, Mr. Riley shows his stu¬ dents just how big “that German” was. Always open-minded, Mr. Charles Parks decides to see things from a stu¬ dent’s point of view. Mr. Parks has a BA from Hampton Institute. 134 Glaring as she hears the announcement that the teachers have a meeting afterschool is Mrs. Joyce McLain. Wearing a sullen look, Mrs. McLain seems to be praying that tomorrow will be better. Checking his list of students, Mr. Mapp wonders if he’s seeing double, or if the two girls are twins. Mr. Mapp has a BA from N.S.C. Standing at his favorite lecture spot, Mr. DeForrest Mapp gives a talk on baseball. 135 Math . . . Always Col. Wyley Baxter, a graduate of West Point with a BS and a Master’s degree from University of Denver, seems to be enjoying a moment of solitude. 3 + 5 — t + r 3 + t = t= 5 + r t + 5 + r + 3 2+2 has always equaled 4. But for the many Pirates who take algebra, trig., or calculus, it’s often wondered if it always will. With a grand total of seven math teachers, there are numerous ways to learn the “new” math. We asked Col. Baster, who began teaching the first year Pembroke opened its doors, what he thought of the students then and now . . . Then: “A large number of the students were positively revolting in as far as their social attitude, dress, and morals were concerned. The good things of life escaped their view.” Now: “Youngsters today are more aware of themselves, their abilities, and their responsibilities. It warms my heart to hear stu¬ dents ask, “Why?” or to say “Will you help me?” “I’m stuck!” On the whole, apathy has diminished. Youngsters seem to want to learn, to get ahead, and many more have a desire to excel. This is all for the better.” Thank you. Col. Baxter, for saying it so well. Mrs. Juanita Schmid looks surprised after seeing her stu¬ dents have forgotten their hooks . . . and their pencils . . . and their paper . . . Mrs. Schmid has a BA from Radford. I i Mr. Donald Kelly, a BS graduate of the University of Richmond, stops in the middle of his class to give our photo¬ grapher a cheerful smile. 136 Something New Returning test papers, Mrs. Sandra Spain tells her students how happy she is that they all passed — especially since there was only one ques¬ tion. Mrs. Spain holds a Master’s degree from Radford College. A graduate of Frederick College, Mr. Thomas Millen expresses shock as one of his students answers a question correctly. Mr. Jim Sherrard pauses in class to po nder the thought, “Would it really be easier teaching monkeys how to speak Arabic?” A graduate of VMI, Mr. Sherrard also helps coach the girls’ track team. With an amused look, Mrs. Cora Waller, a graduate of Nor¬ folk State, lets her students show her the many mistakes in her grade book. (Namely the D’s and F’s). Physical Education Flashing that famous “Mac” smile Ms. Laurel Baldwin poses the way will get you anything, Mr. Piercy. a gym teacher should — in a warm-up suit with her gradebook! Ms. Baldwin is also the girls’ tennis coach. Here we catch Mrs. Sharon Brown in Mr. Mebane is obviously dream- a moment of happy repose. ing of something not connected with school. Mr. James Horne, a graduate of VMI, sponsors a German Exchange program each year. He has been to Germany numerous times and says “there’s some¬ thing new to see each time.” Learning a language can be fun. But it takes time and a patient teacher; here at Pembroke we have four language teachers. And, not only do they teach, they also give their spare time to language clubs which allow the students to delve more deeply into different cultures. I When we asked Mrs. Durr, the French teacher, who began teaching at PHS in 1970, her impressions of Pem¬ broke, then now she replied: Then: “ As a new comer to the area, I had no pre- conceived ideas of what it would be like to teach at Pem¬ broke High. I soon began to realize, however, that Pem¬ broke had a poor reputation. It was the lowest in rank i and popularity of the four high schools.” Now: “Now I know what Pembroke is really like in com¬ parison to the other high schools. It has an excellent fac¬ ulty and student body. Having spent a summer in South America as an exchange teacher, Ms. Mary Sandy was able to share Spanish ideas with her classes. Ms. Sandy holds a BA in Spanish and English from Radford. Smiling at a student’s reply, Mrs. Sandra Durr seems to wonder how anyone could mix up a German “ja” and a French “oui.” Mrs. Durr holds a BA from Longwood and a Master’s from Hampton Institute. (Ks sem mm 0 Since Latin classes are usually small, Mrs. Joyce Frazier offers a personalized classroom. She holds a BA from Longwood. 139 LANGUAGES PRACTICAL ARTS The drafting teacher, Mr. Richard Smith, does not seem to be too surprised at the snap of the camera. Mr. JaThes Grant p W question in his Constru ove Mrs. Ruth Winslow, home economics teacher, guards the door of her classroom where her students create the latest fashions and tasty foods. Teaching the afternoon home econo Fra nces Marshall, itinerant teacher. lents was Special education teacher, Mr. Wood- row West seems to be pleasantly sur¬ prised at the book store door. 140 BUSINESS After hearing a student frantically yell “Stop!”, Mrs. Shifflett pauses momen¬ tarily in her dictation. Mr. Furlow looks as if he can’t believe he j U8 ( heard; can his students re¬ planning a revolt. If front of the ICT room, Mr. Saucier gives the photographer the ol’ charm we always knew he had. - Eenie, taeenie xnnie, mo . wonder if Mrs. Cox picked the one she wanted. From Mrs. Scott’s expression, we could certainly say she is having a good day! 141 Special What do I do now? wonders Mrs. Johnson. Education Smile, Mrs. Jeannette Johnson, you’re on candid camera! Mrs. Johnson holds a degree in Special Education from Hampton Institute. It takes special people to teach Special Educa¬ tion, and here at Pembroke, we are fortunate to have two special teachers. Everyday, Mrs. Jeannette Johnson and Mrs. Elizabeth Fontaine take time to give personalized education to those students needing individualized atten¬ tion. Their personal satisfaction is great when they see that a student has grasped a concept or learned a new word. Thank you, ladies, the world needs more like you! Alright, this time I’ll stand still, agrees Mrs. Fontaine. She holds a degree in Special Ed. C’mon! You can do better than that, says Mrs. Elizabeth Fontaine. 142 Science Department Sorting through his papers, Mr. Charles Smith seems oblivious to the worl lHgund him.

The Science Department at PHS was composed of four teachers this year. The new addition to the department was Mr. Charles Smith, a Biology teacher. We talked to Mr. Spain, the Dept. Chairman, to ask him of his impressions Then and Now. Mr. Spain, however, did not feel he could give an unbiased opinion. We, there¬ fore, went to Mr. Norman, who was voted “Teacher-of-the-Year” by the PHS students. Then: The students were not very well behaved. They were always jumping around or talking. Now: The students are better behaved and more likeable. They have more school spirit. Thanks, Uncle Chuckie, for being just who you are! 143 ENGLISH. Barbara Ferguson looks as if she ;e to a student.

The ten teachers that compose it also sponsor other activities such as: yearbook and newspaper production, forensics, drama and cheerleading. This year the only addi¬ tion to the department was Mrs. Mary Crosby, who is also qualified to teach French. We asked Mrs. Marilyn Tucker, who was a fromer student at Phenix High School, what she thought of Pembroke, then and now. Then: It was a school which lacked spirit and discipline. Teachers had less concern with students and re¬ ally didn’t care to cope with the demands of the students. Now: The school had improved on spirit and is now work¬ ing on discipline. The teachers still need more concern for the students as they are building better relationship s. The school as a whole has a good environment for learning. Thank you Mrs. Tucker.

It didn’t look like Christmas; it didn’t seem like it could possibly be time for Christmas. But on December 16, Pem¬ broke celebrated the holidays. Angie Parker and Pat Kelley were crowned Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus in the traditional Contest to raise money for needy children. Hilarious skits were provided by the Spanish Club, Jr. and Senior Classes, while the Ensemble and Kazoo band provided musical entertainment. But, the teachers stole the show and got a- cross the real meaning of Christmas- love. S E A S O N S P I R I T On a serious note, the Ensemble, led by Miss Forrest, heightens the holiday mood. The Pinecones (Ms. Rathbun, Mr. Carmines Mr. Horne) look more afraid of Mrs, Tucker than of the audience! Juniors enact the famous Peanuts skit about Christmas. InJ Lru [d)M On Thursday, December 1st, the Pembroke Players opened their season with the play, “Headin’ for a Weddin’ The “farce in three acts” was also presented on the night of Decem¬ ber 2nd. Heading the hillbillies was Doug Gardner, alias Homer Hollowbone, the lovesick boy with a passion for shod young maidens. His father was played by James Boyd, whose dry humor left the audiences roaring. Other members of the Hollowbone family were Carol Swain (Ma), Eddie Dearing (Grandpa), Nancy Nabors (Sarah Jo), Sue Cleveland (Gracie Mae), Drema Dial (Fannie Jane), Laila Gilbert (Sis), and Michael Szeps (Pepper). Members of the other hillbilly family were Niecie Dunn (Mrs. Blairhouse), Scott Pollard (Slim), and Andrea Miller (Bertha). The Blairhouse clan provided all sorts of twists, ad¬ ditional plots, and triangular romances to the already hysterical bedlam. The main cause of the confusion was Melissa Dugan, played by Laurie Rose. Melissa, a weal¬ thy, Rhode Island beauty, had come to meet her fiance, the handsome, but “totally tacky” Homer. When her well-to-do Aunts, Isabelle (Margaret Koziar) and Hortense (Laurie Fiest) were miraculously saved by Grandpa (Eddie Dearing), the Hollowbone household was com¬ pletely disrupted. As in many comedies, all ended well. When identities were discovered and lovers were properly matched, Gloria, Pa’s pet skunk, whom he had been training throughout the play, was the Hollowbone’s ticket to fame, for¬ tune and ... a washing machine!

Although the price of the tickets was higher from the normal price range, the general consensus was that the theatri¬ cal endeavor was worth the money. Making their acting debut were Beverly Thomas (Loursa) and Jack Jernigan (Matt) as the childhood sweethearts. The cast also included Eddie Dearing (Louisa’s father), Robert MacLachlin (Matt’s father), Robbie Shelton, (the Spanish bandit and Rogue El Gallo), Brian (Henry), James Boyd (the “im¬ mortal” Mortimer), and Scott Pollard (the Mute). The Fathers (Eddie Dearing and Robert MacLachlin) explain why you “can’t say no!” 149 nd Doug Gendron, the af¬ firmative team Unknown to many students were the Forensics and Debate teams. Those who knew about these programs and par¬ ticipated, gained much knowledge that couldn’t be learned in a classroom. Al¬ though the programs were new, the stu¬ dents performed like old veterans. Many were able to go on to further competition in regional and state. The debate topic, “Resolve: The U.S. Gov¬ ernment Should Provide Comprehen¬ sive Health Coverage to all its Citizens”, generated lots of excitement and learn¬ ing. Next years team should do even better with many students from this year making up the cornerstone. Cheerleader Anita Simpson had the voice for Forensics. Chris Hickey went to regionals in ex¬ pository speaking. 150 HARVEST SERANADES DANCERS, The tension mounted with each passing day in May as the Prom approached. Countless times, places to hold the Prom, groups to play at the Prom and themes of the Prom were voted upon. It was decided that the music was to be provided by “Harvest” and the Prom was to be held in the Pembroke gym (as long as the air conditioning was work¬ ing). The Prom Committee, headed by Carol Condo, delved into books on decorat¬ ing after choosing white and green as the Prom colors. As in past years on the big night, couples dressed to the hilt graced such pl aces as the Peddler, Strawberry Banks, and the Aberdeen Barn for dinner before floating into the magic world of “Prom ’78”. i J ... : L L t Juniors Frances Ellington, Sue Mikula, and Mark Allen do their part for the Prom.

Eventually, about twenty Seniors did pull through for the Senior Class. Gaynelle (Sandy) Jarvis, aided by class sponsors Mr. Gerald Hall and Mrs. Mary Lewis, managed to assign skits and parts. After two rehersals and one dress rehersal, everyone involved prayer that luck would be on their side on Friday night and that the production would hold together. LaNeva Carroll and James Boyd, the Chosen M.C.s, had a little trouble with the mikes, but their dry humor and matching ensembles made up for it. Skits enhanced the Senior Superlatives, joked about the Guidance Department, and did a take-off on beauty contests in “The Second Annual Ms. Richards Contest”. a new Class President Beverly Thomas ended the night on a serious note with her rendition of “You Light Up My Life,” before the Alma Mater. 154 BACCALAUREATE . . .

It seemed like an endless walk, filled with uncertainty, wishful thinking, and com¬ plete BLISS. The ceremony was officially opened by Frederick Bockoven. It seemed like an eternity had passed as Beverly Thomas, Ricky Arnold, and Danny Carey gave a little bit of themselves to each Senior. Yet, too swiftly it was over.
