If you ' ll look closely, you ' ll see that Hampton ' s population in 1916 was a mere 12,000; Phoebus ' 3,000. In 1910 West Queen Street resembled a placid European village. Sometimes it ' s hard to believe life existed as it ' s depicted in this 1931 scene at Buckroe. Any evidence that trolley cars once existed on Mallory Street is now gone. This delivery truck is ready to make de¬ liveries from Spirella ' s Florist in Phoebus. 2 9 y Phoebus High School, new in its structure style and concepts, made us aware of our Begin¬ nings—the area around us—our homes. Before we record our Beginninngs, we wo uld like to share with you some Reflections on the surrounding areas—as they once were. Reflections 3 Hampton Still Growing 1976 finds Hampton still growing; changing. Today we are anxiously waiting for the King ' s Way Mall—a reproduction of Colonial Hampton. In the last years, we have seen many down¬ town buildings rich in character and history give way to progress—Merchants National Bank, Woodward ' s Drug Store, Langley Theatre, The Varsity Shop, and the Langley Hotel. Many people, especially the young, think of Hampton as always looking the way it does today. But anytime something new occurs, something old is lost. Such it is with the City of Hampton. Through the help of the Director of Syms Ea¬ ton Museum, Mr. John Mitchell, the ' 76 SPECTRE would like to share with you some pictures of Hampton as it was—many of the buildings are now gone or have taken on a new look, but all are a Reflection of a part of the history of Hampton. This is one of the earliest pictures of Queen Street taken in 1898.

Buckroe Beach, once the place to go to es¬ cape the summer heat and to relax, today is thought of by the young as a place to go sit on the wall or to cruise around in a hot car. It has become a local hang-out for the teen-agers. During the 30 ' s and the ' 40 ' s people came from miles around to enjoy the family sea side resort. Here they could swim, fish, boatride, or dance tinder the moon lit pavillion. Again through the courtesy of Mr. John Mitch¬ ell, of the Syms Museum, we would like to show you some Reflections of Buckroe Beach on the Chesapeake Bay., Mail tm - 3fpfc • - t ., 4 - hmMI PARADISE INS SANDWICHES Still a favorite at the Buckroe Amuse¬ ment Park, the merry-go-round is one of the oldest in the state and by far the most beautifully decorated.

When we think of today ' s Phoebus, we think of, Put Phoebus on the Map, or Phoebus Day or Little Chicago Phoebus has managed to do what many towns in today ' s world have not. It has kept its individuality and small town atmosphere. From its beginnings as a railroad station in 1885, Phoebus became a town in 1900 and kept its status until 1952. Since then, Phoebus has been a part of Hampton, but has retained her uniqueness and individuality. Cast in the shadow of Fort Monroe, the small town has kept the look of the past and stirs a sense of civic pride that other towns envy. Through the help of Luther Jackson, the 76 Spectre would like to share some Reflections of Phoebus ' past. Intricate sculpture work decorated the old American Theatre. The quaintness of Mellin Street is literally the same as it was in the early 1900 ' s ex¬ cept that the trolley cars are now gone. The Hygia Restaurant on Water Street was once one of the most fashionable dinning establishments in Tidewater. 9 Harrison Phoebus From Farm To Fame From a small farm in Maryland, Harrison Phoebus settled in the community of Mill Creek in 1864, where he was a railroad agent. In 1874 the energetic young man acquired the Hygeia Hotel at Fort Monroe. Soon he was a young millionaire. The success of the luxury hotel prospered the surrounding town. When in 1881, the Chesa¬ peake and Ohio Railroad extended its line from Newport News to Mill Creek, the name Phoebus was given to the new railroad station. On the site where the Strawberry Banks now stands, Mr. Phoebus built the palatial Roseland, his home. The manor house is still in use. At the age of 45, the prominent businessman died from a heart disease. But the man left a leg¬ acy wealth and a name to his town. 10 Why Phoebus High School? Until it was closed at the end of the ' 74 term, Phoebus School was the second oldest of the elementary schools in the city of Hampton. It was built in 1902. Prior to this date a four room school, located directly near this, was moved around the corner and became the town hall. When a fire struck the present building in April, 1954, the third floor was destroyed and af¬ ter that only the first two floors were used. When names for the new high school were being considered, citizens, ex-students of Phoebus, and educators asked that the name of the new school be PHOEBUS. Thus PHOEBUS HIGH SCHOOL was given its name. ii ■ Architect Rancorn—Wildman—Krause Associate Architect Owner Superintendent Contractor Grades Housed Pupil Capacity Cost Area Volume The Perkins Will Partnership Hampton City School Mr. Garland Lively W.M.

When the students and faculty arrived in August, they found many aspects of the school unfinished. The students soon became accustomed to the sights and sounds of the work crews. Teachers learned to dodge paint buckets left in the halls. At the first school-wide meet¬ ings, everyone sat on the floor because the seats for the theatre had not arrived. No one seemed to mind the little in¬ conveniences. In fact, most people seemed to take for granted that this was the price to pay for attending a new school. Many of us saw a phase of Phoebus High School that many visitors and fu¬ ture students will never see in the days to come, so we ' ve chosen some pictures that REFLECT our beginning days.

The concept—open classrooms—was new on the secondary level. Most of the students had never been exposed to it before. On the first day of classes, it was like any other day—their was an orientation program, there was uncertainty about being in a new school for ev¬ eryone, including the ninth graders. Later there would be time to look at the new school. 20 n engrossed student listens to the English teachers give an orientation pro¬ gram their own. Phoebus Is Open! 21 Downstairs ... Massive Whatever entrance you come through, you are struck with the massiveness of the downstairs area. The cold grey of the large columns and the floor make the mall resemble a shopping area. At once you notice the tables and chairs which are used for the lunch periods and also for dances and group meetings. Once you go through one of the doors, you are struck with the warmness of the carpeted halls leading to the office. The Administration office is labelled in large red writings and red accessories. Still further down the halls y there are business and practical arts classes; these are completely enclosed. At one end of the building there is the infa¬ mous Phoebus Theatre with its atroctious acous¬ tics, but it does have beautiful red and yellow accessories. But Upstairs ...

Here at Phoebus the school day has its parts. About 7:45 students begin to eek onto the grounds—a large percentage walk. Before the first bell sounds at 8:15, different groups have their hangouts. Class time is spent in the usual way, but maybe once in a while if it ' s warm, you get to go outside. As the lunch bell rings, students spill into the halls and are soon seated in the mall eating. Then its back to class—and finally at 2:40, the dismissal bell rings and the building clears—students rapidly head for home. Characteristically, the lockers of these two la- d«|gjjg|gifed with a va- Students slowly head for sthdok iff the morning, wondering of the day ' s activities. , Perched outside atop . the slope, Diane Kirby, ■ - ' Phyllis Sexton, Renee .Jr ' ' D vis, Leah Bryant and Earl Silver work on � “sight assignment. Fashions 7 Sweat togs were vwrn by both sexes as school attire in 76. This young lady is a fashion plate-scarf, ruby red lips, wedgies, and large sun glasses. Once worn only by the farmer, the bi¬ bbed overalls became everyday wear. The usual outfit for most girls was jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes. If you look closely you ' ll see a tiny earr¬ ing in this dude ' s ear. Just as the fashions that these 1893 students are wearing are now laughable by our standards, the fads in clothes that we are caught up in today will some day be funny too. 76 had its fads and fashions. For the girls, jeans and tops were still the everyday garb, but scarves dressed up outfits, and skirts were worn once in awhile. For both sexes, khaki jeans, wedgies, head scarves, sweat suits and mood rings were found in the everyday dressing attires. Pierced ears for both boys and girls were es¬ sential for pace setters. Hair began to get shorter, lips got redder to match the nails. We live in an ever changing world . .. espe¬ cially when it comes to fashion. And like the ever popular mood rings, the fashions CHANGED, CHANGED, CHANGED. Some People Leave Their Marks On Us Out of all the students who attended Phoebus in 1975-1976, there are some who will be remembered above all others—for their contributions. The first year at a school is difficult; there are precedents to be set; traditions to be begun. One of the first things that Phoebus needed was an Alma Mater. The call went out to students. And it was done. Jenny Smith wrote the school song chosen to be Phoebus official Alma Mater. Next, the call went out for a name for the year¬ book. After deliberation by the staff a name sub¬ mitted by Virginia Burke—The Spectre—was chosen. As long as there is a school song or an annual these two girls will know they wrote them. Phoebus also has a very special young man at¬ tending it—Gerald Newsome. Although he is blind, Gerald functions as a regular student. He moves about the school of his own volition.

This summer the first students to attend the Governor ' s School (a program for exceptional high students) will be attended by Jenny Smith, Sue Tillery and Elizabeth Guy. Early in the spring the Guidance Depart¬ ment with the help of Mrs. Martha Woods and Mr. Jim Thompson initiated the Peer Counseling Group. This is a group of our stu¬ dents who will help other teenagers with school social Problems. This is a new program for the city of Hampton. Peer Counseling Group: Carol Harllee, Boo Williams, Becky Horne, Cheryl jackson, and Greg Eure, Mrs. Woods, John Gorman, Lisa Le‘ach, Doug Johnson, Elizabeth Guy, Mr. Thompson, Tina Wallace, Donna Page, and Georgia Newell. 31 Customers bought his headed tri¬ nkets so rapidly, Ernest Charnick had to make some more. Bazaar Makes Special Christmas Right before Christmas vacation the entire school was invited by handmade invitations to attend a Christmas Bazaar held by Mrs. Clare Winkelman and Mrs. Pat Harris ' classes in Prac¬ tical Arts. When the guests arrived, they were in for a lovely surprise. The room was full of beautiful Christmas handicrafts that the students had made. Tables were arranged with Christmas wreaths, wooden tree ornaments, jewelry, decorated bot¬ tles, ceramic plaques and myriads of other gifts. Very quickly, teachers and students bought the unique holiday goodies—they made meaningful Christmas remembrances. The class who had worked for months in prep¬ aration were given credit for bringing a special warmness to the holidays. mvm- While Maxine Prescott chats with a cus¬ tomer in the background Calvin Diggs and Michael Pleasents sell key chains and coasters. 32 With their beautiful bottles in the background, Michael Council, Beck . v ' II Turman, and Elizabeth Mack wait frtr another patron.

It was the night of the Faculty Basketball game against the famous WGH Jokes. For the gala occasion, the gym was filled to the top with students and teachers who had come to cheer for the men faculty. Some of the women teachers entertained with special cheer-routines that they had practiced on for hours. Once the game began, the spectators realized that the WGH men were no match for the teachers. High-lighted by stars like Baker, Musselman, Lee, Killen, Ryan, Ankeny, and Hot Dog Perdew and Bailey, the faculty won by a score of 100 to 68. With the deterrfflWition of a real pro, Mr. Don Musselman readies for a goal. Sec¬ onds later, a cocky Musselman leaves the court. 34 ■M 35 Spirit Week Phoebus Goes Weird For Christmas Fund When at the Christmas Assembly the repre¬ sentative accepted the check for over $300 little did he realize what had taken place to raise this money. SPIRIT WEEK! Cookies were sold by the hun¬ dreds by the SCA! Blue Gold Day! Everyone wore the Phantom Colors! Hobo Day! Students and even teachers wore their worst. For once the teachers looked grub¬ bier than their students. Probably the worst looking department was English with Mrs. Griffin Mr. Paul taking the worst looking award. To finish the week there was a Variety (?) Show which featured a flame swallower, a ballet dancer and a beauty contest, Miss Vancant Lot, emceed by our own Mr. Ray Smith. The boys in drag were a hit. The extravaganza was topped off with a take-off on Earth, Wind, and Fire. All of the insanity was worth it, for all PHS ' ers were proud to have helped Peninsula families have a better Christmas. 36 opposite page: At the Christmas Assembly SCA officers and Mr. Don Musselman and a Daily Press representative wait for the students to be seated before the show begins.

Even though he lost, Ray Hogge, alias Ada Crumpecker, loved the audience. Do you think it was the blond hair that made Early McVerson the winner.

Given in honor of all those people who partici¬ pated in sports thus far, the banquet was held at school. At the banquet, awards and trophies were made to the out standing athletes in the sports of football, track, and to the cheerleaders. The affair was attended by family and adminis¬ tration a like. Looking quite different out of his football togs, Ron Krodel readies to g o through the serving line. Proudly, Boo Williams poses with his Most Valuable Player Trophy for football.

At different times during the year, we had dances—one of the few schools in the area to still do so because of lack of control. Here at PHS there were no problems. After the first week of school we had a back to school night dance which was well attended. Later a Homecoming Dance was held in honor of PHS ' s first basketball homecoming. This was a more formal affair. All in all the dances were great places to un¬ wind after a grueling week at school—once or twice teachers were even seen boogeying to let off steam. ie angle of the cam- le the crowd o right till the same-people beside ri having lol 39 HOLIDAY MUSIC FILLS THE AIR me orass seuiun weiK..di ij M m , c y of, holiday music. The Music Department made its debut with a Holiday Musicale. The A ' Cappella Choir and the Girls Chorus presented an evening of traditional and popular Christmas carols and songs.

Playing the Girls Basketball Team, the women did not fare so well. But they tried. And with a little help from some faculty on the side lines who brought a ladder for the women to climb so that they could make their first two points on the scoreboard. The faculty was so impressed with these antics that they later tied up the referees so that fouls would stop being called against them. Even though it was all in fun, the students took the game seriously and were upset when the women lost both of the games by large margins.

At a dance following the victorious game over the York Falcons, the Queen and her court, all elected by the student body were presented to the followers. Queen, Doborah Roberson and her escort were announced and crowned. The queen and her attendants and their escorts then were highlighted in a coronation dance.

Child Care Occupations came to Phoebus in late winter. Students and faculty suddenly saw little folks arriving at school early in the morning. It was the group of pre-schoolers for a division of the Home Economics classes. The course was designed to prepare students for employment at daycare centers or other institutions giving care to children. The students were oriented in the needs of young children and then ac¬ tually worked with the kids in the laboratory. Phoebus is the only school to offer such a course.

These people deserve the thanks of the Ad¬ ministration, Faculty and students. 48 Service Is The Name Of The Game Student AicS andr West, Bjjpf Horne, Ryan ■fcishini, Karen bon, Melodie j|gnple, Carolyn Bow S, and Michelle Courtney. 49 SCA Center Of School The S.C.A. is the center of any school. The first organiza¬ tion to function at Phoebus was the S.C.A. As it began to work, there was no stopping it. Sponsored by Mrs. Harriet Dismond and run by president Boo Wil¬ liams, the S.C.A. ran various activities. The S.C.A. sponsored a back to School Dance to kickoff the school year; they sPld drinks at games; they sold hun¬ dreds of tins of cookies during the holidays; they raised money for the Daily Press Christmas Fund by sponsoring Spirit Week. The S.C.A. was always striving to help the school and the students and the community.

They were the hosts for the teachers during the fall workshops; they manned a booth at Hampton Fair Day; they pledged money to Mus¬ cular Dystrophy; they sold candy and dough¬ nuts; they gave coffee and doughnuts to the fac¬ ulty during National Education Week. With in the club they did well in District Con¬ tests. Debbie Southall placed first in Public Speaking, Cindi Hearn placed first in Job Place¬ ment; Annette Perry took second. Sheila Burgess won District Vice President. Debbie Southall ran for State Secretary and won. And still they had time to go on skating and skiing parties for relaxation. With out a doubt, DECA was the most active and productive group at Phoebus. 52 2nd row Michelle Hawkins—Class V.P., Annette Perry—Class V.P., Cathy Lynch—Reporter 3rd row Barbara Onks—Class V.P.

Spectre Staff Starts Big— Dwindles Fast! The yearbook staff consisted of 40 members at the beginning of the year, but by the end of the first month it had dwindled to a mere 13. Unlucky they were not. First they diligently sold ads all over the city. Then they sold Subscriptions to the newly named SPECTRE, After they had attended a workshop, Karen Cooper was chosen by Mr. Paul as the editor. Plagued by the disorganization of a first year school, the staff had a difficult time designing the book. To add to the situation, all of the work had to be done after school in a small room with very little light. But by mid April with the help of The Paragon Publishing Company, and a lot of hard work on a few people ' s part, the SPECTRE 76 was finished. 54 As Karen Cooper puts her initial on the envelope, Jackie Sinkler seals it. Trying to decide what to do with the ad section, Terri Ellis, Kelly Cross, David Diaz and Leah Bryant search for ideas to borrow. Leah Bryant rechecks the class section before it is sent away.

After many tries, they came up with three choices for the student body to pick from— the winner was The Phoebus Transit Express (P.T.) Early in October, the staff attended the Vir¬ ginia High School League Publications Work¬ shop in Charlottesville to pick up some pointers on quality publishing. In mid-year, the format of the paper was changed to the popular magazine style layout. For money making projects, the staff spon¬ sored a beautiful baby contest, sold sweetheart roses and had numerous bake sales. By the end of the year the P.T. Express had been accepted as the voice of the student body. As George Williams and Step¬ hanie Kulik work on a layout de¬ sign, Lynn Scott quietly works on her column.

Majorettes Get Late Start ... But Active The majorettes got a late start in school activi¬ ties. But they did march in the Christmas Parade for their debut. After rigorous try-outs and clinics with girls from other schools, the girls debuted for the school at the first basketball home game. Later the year was taken up with many money making projects. The girls made magnetic kitchen animals which brought them a profit. Early in the winter the girls braved the cold to wash cars for money. Even though the girls got a late start, they were busy all year. At the debut of the majorettes, the uni¬ forms sparkled as the girls twirled. In their straight line, Cheryl Pierce and Debbie Houpt po¬ sition their batons for the twirl. 58 Even though it was cold, Kim MacDon¬ ald and Mrs. Owens cleaned many a car. With agile grace, Linda Kepler and Mary Ann Carpenter strut and smile for the fans. With the last of the animal magnets, Debbie, Willa, Kim and MaryAnn play for a minute on the steps.

JV ' S Always Around ... Those Junior Varsity Cheerleaders were a spunky group. They were very well practiced and full of life. Football and basketball were the two main sports that the girls participated at most. During the first days of the Christmas break, they even travel¬ led to Spring field for a basketball tournament.

Chess is one of those games were thinking logically is so important. Of course, the object of the game is winning, But one has to think under pressure—time.

First Year A Struggle The first year at any such school has particular diffi¬ culties. One of the major ones is the organization and functioning of clubs. At the beginning of the year, enthusiasm was high and several clubs were formed, membered, and staffed. But by mid-year, most of them were defunct due to lack of interest. Several that eeked out their existence did few activi¬ ties. Therefore club pages were difficult to allot. Picture day was even worse. Even though the schedule had been posted for a week, students forget to show up ... . PEP CLUB: The purpose of this club was to band together to support the school ' s teams. On picture day, only a handful of the girls showed up .... THE SCIENCE CLUB: A group formed to further scientific projects .... THE RADIO CLUB: Only four people staffed the programs for WVEC with music and school news ... THE GERMAN CLUB: By mid year only the officers were left ...

The First Sport In Phantom History The very first sport played in the beginning sports annals of Phoebus High School was Cross Country. Overshadowed by other sports, the Cross Country Team was one that all Phantoms could be proud of. This was a year of building for Coach Gaylon Ryan. When asked he stated that he was setting his founda¬ tion for next year. They really improved in the district because we beat Bethel. If they work as hard next year as they did this year and listen to me, they ' ll go to the Regionals. 68 After their defeat of Bethel, Jeff Winebarger, Lewis Garris and Scott Winebarger check with Coach Ryan for their times.

But suddenly during the season opener with Bethel, everyone realized they were witnessing the beginning of something fantastic. Sure there were careless opening game errors, but the most important fact was that the eleven boys worked as a team. They worked as a unit with one purpose—winning. And the Phoebus Phantoms did just that and HOW. After their 14-6 victory over Bethel, the Phantoms were never scored on again. In their games the mighty Phantoms totalled 267 points against their opponents. Even though names like Chuck Rochelle Al- burtus Horne, Boo Williams, and PeeWee Jenkins made the newspaper write-ups, every victory was the result 100% effort on the part of every person on the team.

In 13 plays for 71 yards, “PeeWee Jenkins runs the ball for the goal line. Pile-ups like this one at the Kecoughtan game show why few teams scored on the Phantoms all year. As a winning coach, with a team that not only was undefeated, but had only six points scored against them during the season, Coach Phil Smith had comments make on the year. We got 100% co-operation and of support from all the people involved in the program— from coaching staff, the student body, admin¬ istration, and the community. When asked about next year. Coach Smith, who was assisted by Coaches Horton and Traynham, answered, It will depend largely on the players. All of the players are on a good weight program and by working out and normal growth, they will be ready for next year ' s competition. 72 Bethel 6 Phoebus 14 Hampton 0 Phoebus 28 Poquoson 0 Phoebus 18 Denbigh 0 Phoebus 36 Menchville 0 Phoebus 36 Lafayette 0 Phoebus 28 Pembroke 0 Phoebus 32 Tabb 0 Phoebus 64 73 The Phoebus Girls Basketball Team.

This first year team finished their season in second place in the Peninsula District Tourna¬ ment. After downing Menchville and Hampton, the cagers fell prey to Ferguson in the third game of the play-offs. In their regular season, the roundballers fin¬ ished with an 8-3 record. They opened the sea¬ son with a 41-30 defeat over Lafayette and spirit ran high. In their next two games the girls tri¬ umphed over Kecoughtan and Hampton. After losing to York and Warwick, the Phantomettes again were on the winning path, defeating Pem¬ broke, Menchville and Denbigh and Tabb, but they lost to Ferguson. Coached by Miss Peggy Slemp and Mr. Phil Lee, the girls were captained Linda Richardson. All thirteen girls contributed to the 75 season.

And our Varsity team showed much confidence in themselves. We set two goals. First to make the Confer¬ ence Tournament—and we did. The second was to make list 10 and 10, but we ended 9 and 11, says Coach Baker. In the offensive league, they finished second. As Baker put it the team just wasn ' t aggressive enough. Says Baker, We were badly hurt by not hav¬ ing experience. But we did have Boo. Boo , of course, was Boo Williams, who av¬ eraged 27.2 points per game. In 20 games, he scored 549 points, which is a record. He is the Third leading scorer in the state. He was the leading District scorer and made the first team on the All District Team. The biggest win of the year was over Pem¬ broke. At one point, they were 48 points behind, but back to win 79 to 77. Front row: Greg Eure, J.C. Smith, Jerry Saul Johnson.

That ' s the way Junior Varsity Basketball coach, Mr. Phil Lee, summarized the season. “We did well consid¬ ering we didn ' t have any big men. We just needed one big, good man. Considering that the team was made up of all ninth graders and that they were short and inexperi¬ enced, they did do quite well—third place in the District. The all ninth grade team, the only one on the Peninsula, finished with a 10-10 record. “A very strong defense is the biggest factor in our finishing in the spot we did, finishes Lee. y i I 78 Denbigh 53 Phoebus 51 Bethel 38 Phoebus 54 Hampton 53 Phoebus 55 Kecoughtan 42 Phoebus 50 Norfolk College 43 Phoebus 54 Tapp 59 Phoebus 50 Ferguson 60 Phoebus 55 Menchville 79 Phoebus 56 Pembroke 58 Phoebus 56 Hampton 50 Phoebus 48 LaFayette 48 Phoebus 56 Warwick 65 Phoebus 68 Kecoughtan 58 Phoebus 61 Ferguson 78 Phoebus 62 York 43 Phoebus 49 Pembroke 60 Phoebus 46 As both go up for the rebound, both of the players stretch for the ball.

In Wrestling, Skill Counts The Most In wrestling, Skill counts the most; therefore, the strongest man does not always win. This year both junior varsity and varsity wres¬ tling were active on the high school level. Although the JV ' s won only two matches— against Hampton and Warwick, and the Varsity only one—against Kecoughan—Coach Perdew was pleased. Says Perdew, It takes two to three years to develop a wrestler of quality. They worked hard and they have bright futures ahead of them. In the regionals, 105 pounder, Richard Burns placed third. Bobby Heathcock and Steve Fran¬ cisco ended the year in the winning column. For a team that started from scratch, the young grapplers developed into an impressive team.

A pondering Mr. Musselman com¬ placently watches as students fill the building the first day. A grimacing Mr. Musselman listens to questions from an inquisitive parent. Surrounded by excited faculty and a cheering Mr. Tom Bailey, Mr. Mussel¬ man urges the girls basketball team to make another two points. Mr. Don Musselman had a doubly difficult job— he had to open a new school and open an open classroomed school all in one. He did them both smoothly! Long before school was officially open, Mr. Mus¬ selman met with student committees, ran a minor public relations campaign, conferred with the archi¬ tects, and planned for the year. Once school was open he was still busy busy busy. All of the above tasks were continued, but there were others added, and still Mr. Musselman found the to always keep an open door to students and faculty. And long after school was over for the day, he was back to chaperone for almost every event. Much of the success with which we opened was due to Mr. Musselman—our Principal. 90 At the first dance, aided by Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Musselman checks the ID of Ron Hensley. Long before the school opened, Mr. Musselman conferred with the workmen on the progress of the work. 91 We ' re 2! Phoebus High School and Mr. Don Mussel- man were assisted by two energetic people in the forms of Assistant Principals. Mrs. Arnetta Washington and Mr. Tom Bailey held the num¬ ber two positions in the Administration. Mrs. Washington, who always has a pleasant smile on her face, was in charge of Instruction. It was her tedious task to plan the schedule for the entire year. And still she had time to meet with teachdrs on any problems. Mr. Tom Bailey was the man in charge of dis¬ cipline. That in itself was enough to keep the man on the go all day. Both Assistants were ably helped in the fall by Mr. Ray Barlow, who did his apprenticeship in Administration here from the University of Virginia. Although they spent long hours here after ev¬ eryone else h ad left, they were the first to come back for activities. 92 4 ' It seems like there is alwa someone waiting outside th door for Mrs. Washington. 93 mrtfrH Slffit Writing her schedule for the month of January, Mrs. Jessie Nottingham shows that she is on top of everything as Head of the Guidance Department. tmmj istk aiamtihjnm ' tit 94 Nine-Week Program Gives Guidance A Fit Probably the thing that students think about when they talk about Guidance this year, it was the problems that came with the nine-week programs for all classes. The week before schedules were issued, the entire Guidance Department, headed by Mrs. Jessie Notting¬ ham, frantically made adjustments so that everyone would be in the right place. Except for a few minor foul- ups, everyone went smoothly. During the rest of the year, Mrs. Marge Snider and Mrs. Martha Woods were busily implementing new programs such as Career Night for everyone in the city, and admin¬ istering tests to many of the students. During this first year, Mr. Dave Mefferd and all of the Department helped the students realize that they were there to help them in whatever ways possible. 95 Deans Don ' t Have Envied Positions Contrary to popular belief, the Deans are not here to see how many students they can suspend in one day. Mrs. jane Moran, Dean of Women, and Mr. Robert Mitchell, Dean of Men, are concerned with the problems of the students from failing a course and dropping out of school to fam¬ ily problems and pregnancy. The deans sometimes hold conferences with the par¬ ents to get to the heart of the student ' s problems. To assist the deans in their work, stu¬ dents have volunteered their service during their study hall to be aides. The aides per¬ form different tasks and errands, such as fil¬ ing, tracking down students, typing, run¬ ning messages, answering the telephone, and a multitude of other things. Going through the files are, two dean aj es, Barbie Mardis andJanet Nun. t At one of his busy mo¬ ments,, Mr. Robert Mjichetl reads a note om a student. % 97 Nursie: Always A Smile There is one place that all students visit-the clinic and Mrs. Martha Alsleben. Flu and the virus kept the nurse busy during the winter months. And then in March, the warm weather and a rash of spring colds hit. On every day Nursie was confronted with the usual student ailments—from sprained muscles to bloody noses to schoolitis! No matter what the illness, each student was com¬ forted with a smile and a bit of concern. 98 Heartbeat Of The School The heart of any school is the main office and the women who run it. Besides Mrs. Anita McKinley, Mr. Musselman ' s secre¬ tary, there is a full time bookkeeper and a secretary to greet the visitors, answer a scads of questions a day, find substitutes, count money, make announcements, answer the phone and a million and one other jobs. They are the first to arrive in the morning and the last ones to leave in the afternoon. There are also two secretaries that their time bewteen the main office and the Guidance one. Ask anyone who really run the school and you ' ll find that it is these ladies. 99 Best Stocked Library in State Phoebus High School has the Best equipped Library in the state of Virginia as far as high schools are concerned. With its main Library as the center of school activity there are also the Resource centers with books for that particular subject area. With its huge amount of audio visual equip¬ ment and records, tapes, strips, and cassettes, the library is a wonder land of knowledge. 100 101 English Moves Those Walls When all of the other departments were pan¬ icked at the prospect of going the nine week sys¬ tem, the English Department sat back cool and poised—they had been on the mini program for three years. The open space at Phoebus blended beau¬ tifully to activities being done. On the first day of class, the English Depart¬ ment was the only one to hold a mini assembly to welcome the students to the school and to make them aware of their responsibilities. With the movable walls, classes could be combined of large areas could be formed to view student skits. Open class rooms were utilized by this depart¬ ment quite splendidly. ■m 102 103 The English Department: Many Many Characters , ■Aft |P £ tmm ’ r 104 105 Miss Gwen Barber dictates Spanish verbs to her morning class.

After days of preparation ' in Miss Joyce Fraiser ' s class, Andy and Becky Horne portray Greek Gods at the Coliseum. Foreign Languages All Phases Stressed Latin, Spanish, French, German. These are the lan¬ guages for the student interested in learning the tougues of other nations. Here at Phoebus in the large open labs, the student of the foreign languages learned about the counties, their peoples and some of the customs. At the same time, the students were learning to write, speak, and translate their respective languages. All of the languages took active part in National Educa¬ tion Week Activities which took place at the Coliseum Mall. 106 Using her journal, Miss Sandra Andrews asks her class to conjugate French verbs. .Flashing a toothy smile, Mrs. Phyllis Flenry exam¬ ines a book at the Language Booth. Manning the Foreign Language Booth, Mr. Ber- nie Spitzer watches for people to talk with. 107 Whatever It Is Called —It All Adds Up To Math Adding and substracting were oh so simple way back when, but since the new came in, everyone has a difficult in putting a name on it. But actually no matter what you call it, it is still Mathematics. In the classroom, students learn the various types and stages of math and its usages. There they are able to see how math influences their lives in just about every imaginable way. Whether it is called Algebra I, Algebra II, Phases I or II of Algebra, Geometry, Funda¬ mental Geometry, or Trigonmetry, it all ADDS up to Math. 108 109 Math Colleagues Help One Another During lunch, Mr. Ralph Ran¬ som literally knocks Mrs. Shirley Patterson off her feet with a joke. 110 Students Use Skills One phase of the Practical Arts Department is taught by Mrs. Pat Harris and Mrs. Clara Winkelman. This particular group of Practical Arts stu¬ dents are given more individual attention. Here they are taught practical skills which they can use upon completion of school. Many of these students take part time jobs where apply the skills which they have learned so readily in the; Practical Arts Department. in Something For Everyone The Practical Arts Department has something for Everyone: from Graphic Arts to Home Ec, to Electronics. This department had to be the most impres¬ sive in the new school. It has thousands of dol¬ lars of equipment that other schools didn ' t have. When one walked into the area, it looked like ' a small industrial factory with its giant pieces of machinery for woodcrafts, mechanical drawing, electronics and graphic arts. On the other end of the building houses the Hom e Economics area. It too boasted its firsts— During his planning period, Mr. John occupational cooking and a school for small tots.

The Fine Arts Department is the place for people to go to either develope their innate talents or to discover traits that they never knew that they possessed un¬ til they enrolled in an art or music class. At Phoebus there is a beautiful studio room for the artist to draw, paint, sculpt, or even throw a jar. At the same time, handicrafts are encouraged. In spite of the band and chorus rooms which are acoustically atrocious, both the band director and the choral leaders were able to form organizations that won both District and State honors in vocal and instrumental areas. For a first year school which pulled students from all area of the city, PHS was genuinely proud of their Music Department. Truly the Fine Arts Department was the place to find oneself. 116 117 Social Studies Strive For Understanding Si- Besides being an x $llent teacher of social studies, tbfe fashionable Miss Effnma Flood is always reading-to better her-—- self and her students.

Being lucky that there are so many materials related to the histories that have been recorded visually, the students gets to see the facts that he is studying. One of the most important things that the So¬ cial Studies Department does is to help today ' s student understand his place in today ' s world. This was done in a variety of mini courses this 119 Concepts Related After a class in which she ' s played a recording of the Lin- coln-Douglas Debates, Mrs. ' ® Bonnie Tingle puts it away for ■ a lecture. 120 Phys Ed Goes Many ! The Physical Education Department went mini too for the 76 term. Offering a wide variety of nine week courses such as wrestling, modern dance, ten¬ nis, basketball, gymnastics, archery, volleyball, and emergency, and guides to health, the em¬ phasis is still on the development of strong and healthy bodies—mentally and physically. The humongous gym allows for a varied curriculum to take place at the same time. There are three basketball courts, exercise rooms and practice room in the two story structure. Because of the large facility and eight teach¬ ers, many mini classes in one period. 121 Physical Education; Instructors Vital 122 W JP Flanked by notes, Miss DeHart lectures on mental health.

There ' s even a machine that when programmed can type the same letter an infinite number of times. It is uncanny the way it works seemingly by itself. Still with all of its advanced equipment, the purpose of the Business Department remains the same—to prepare stu¬ dents for their places in the world of business. The only school that offers Data Processing, Phoebus Business Department also offers stenography, typing, dis¬ tributive education, clerk typing, and general business. One of the most beneficial areas of business is Dis¬ tributive Education which is a 3 year program designed to prepare students for employment in retailing. In entails classroom and on-the-job training. Every year Business becomes bigger and bigger and Phoebus ' department will grow with it. Bookkeeping seems to present no real problem to Debbie Griffen and Cindy Hart sell. 125 126 I Inquiry Basis For ■.. •• I Science Classes With the Science Department change to the Nine-Week courses, students were given the chance to take a wider variety of sciences that taught to inquire into the world around them—the human body, plants, and earth. With the fantastic Laboratories, the classes resembles those of Dr. Frank¬ enstein ' s. Doing is the key phrase to Phoebus ' department. 127 Teachers Play Many Roles In The Course Of Day There is more to the job of teaching than spending six hours in the classroom. That is an important part of the profession, but there is more ... Teachers are at the games to add their support to the fans ' cheering of the teams on. One of the rewarding parts of the job is when the groups that the teacher sponsor show their thanks with a genuine momento of their gratitude. During the course of the day the teacher may sneak into the lounge to grab a quick sip of cof¬ fee or take a swig of Pepsi, or he may be forced to hurriedly swallow a bite to eat while he talks with friends. And what could be a better ending to the day than a Teacher ' s Meeting At the faculty game, Mrs. Anita McKinley and the Riddicks watch their favorite principal. At the Athletic Banquet, Coaches Caylon Ryan and Mike Horton proudly show the Momentos that the Track Team gave them. During his free hour, Mr. Toy Car¬ penter sips coffee and reads. 128 ' j Caught, Mr. Tim Hester confesses that he is swiping someone ' s sugar. If you look closely, you will note the happiness on the faces of the teach¬ ers before the faculty meeting begins. Hurriedly, Miss Emma Flood and Mrs. Virginia Owens eat and talk dur¬ ing lunch. - - : I 129 Wk ' J SaJhJBsP ' $Wp? - m , ' jQP -■ ; � ( vfR ■ In her casual attire of low-cuts and jeans, Sha¬ ron Boone takes a snooze before class bell.

Classes Ninth Graders Meet Early Criticisms With ACTION Last spring some of the eighth graders at three of ' the near-by schools were informed that they would attend the new Phoebus High School. In the fall, the ninth graders met with a lot of flack from both the other students and some of the faculty. In early newspaper editorials, Ninth graders an¬ swered criticisms. By mid-year most of the lower classmen had be¬ gun to adapt to the open concept and were taking an active part in all of Phoebus ' activities.

When Phoebus first opened in the fall, the Juniors came from different schools and carried with them the ties of still being Crabbers, Pirates, or Warriors. But soon the Juniors began to forget that they were once parts of other schools. SCA, sports, clubs, and classes occupied their minds. In mid-November, the class chose their lead¬ ers: President—Larry Brunson, Vice President— Lynn Scott, Corresponding Secretary—Donna Paige, Recording Secretary—Tina Bryant, and Treasurer—Karen Jackson. By the time that spring had come, the Junior Class, except for a few die-hards were com¬ pletely engrossed in Phoebus High School.

What do you recall? Was it the day you and your partner did your own commercial in front of the class ... the day you finally got that concept in Science ... the day you proudly put up your mobile in English ... the day you overhauled your en¬ gine ... the first day you saw your teacher smile ... the day you learned to keep score in bowling ... the day you wasted time?

School is what the individual makes it; what he decides to do with it. Phoebus High School ' s first year is over. Did you expect fantastic things to happen here? Was it really any different than any other high school? Probably not. Here at Phoebus, people still flunked, dropped out of school, vandalized, got high, enjoyed their days participated, bettered themselves, and dreamed of far off days .... 199 The End Of The Beginning Year Publishing a yearbook for the first year of a school is not an easy task—printing a spring de¬ livery book is even worse. But we hope the re¬ sults are worth the time and effort we put in on The SPECTRE 76. Because of the lack of organization of events and of the staff, we realize that there are many things that we have omitted. We did not mean to slight anyone. Next year, the SPECTRE will be even bigger and better. A group of girls say goodbye to Phoebus—for a while.
