Though most like the “after school” roles, many others are to be found at school. On carefree trips, we can become kids, screaming on rides at King’s Dominion; at fashion shows, we can be models; for the yearbook, we become photographers; for classes on films, we become amateur film- makers; as transfer students, we sometimes become lost for awhile. In his time, we play many parts 2 0 3 J0 Ph° e tiu s fl ttj§?OHTS OWN School For Lee Loissen, class Is the place to feed back knowledge on a test.

Withoufthe activity on the inside, they’re all sterile vacuums. From 8 til 3 Phoebus is a world of its own. It’s better than any television show. There is drama and suspense— Will I pass The test? “Can I get by on that forged note?” Is this the day he’ll ask me for the date? There is comedy too— Some of the teachers are so ‘tired’ that they are comical.” Some kids are natural co- medians in the classroom. And a few teachers are better than Kotter. During their seasons the school’s sports ac- tivities would rival that of any TV Sports Spectacular. All in all, the chaaos and activity that go on in the school give Phoebus its life.

Look inside Phoebus . . . What do you see? In spite what else happens there, it is a place for learning and much of that goes on at Phoebus. The learning activities and experiences are many and varied. Sure, there are days of listening to teachers, but there one opportunities to engage in valuable experi- ences . . . from watching film strips, conducting class for teachers and Mr. Mussel- man, listening to records, creating lithographs, to learning to take care of others by giving blood. 7 I LIKE DREAMING I REACHED FOR A STAR “I reached for the sky, but it was too wide, so I settled for a star.” This quote by a six- teen year old sums up the situation at Phoebus High School. Everyday there are those students who sit and daydream their time away — about work, boyfriends, girlfriends, surfing or being home asleep. For them, the fun begins after school— 2:40. Others at Phoebus take advantage of the situation and make the most of it. They actively engage in many school events. They hold parties for special teachers and friends, attending clubs, and dances. For them, life is what you make it . . .” 11 MX 8 I % While the girls, daydream in the dark about they young Navyman, others enjoy his version of I Write the Songs.” Before he joined the Army in April, Pur- nell Futrell daydreamed of joining some branch of the service to escape from Phoebus. Surprised by her Spanish 2 class. Miss Allison Bennett and her fiance J.D. Foster cut the cake at the gala affair. On the first day of school, Julie Caw- thorne daydreams about careers posted on the guidance boards. This portrait of Barbara Mardis super- imposed on the wall symbolizes the idea of daydreaming. After fifth period, Ray Hogge and Mary Ann Carpenter go to the 7-1 1 for a slurpee. 9 As a sponsor of yearbooks since 1 970, I realize that the trend in annuals is to no longer do pages of dedication to particular people. For years, I have followed this rule. For the ' 77 SPECTRE, I am breaking this tradition. Please let me explain my reasoning. By mid winter the staff and I realized that the ' 77 publication was in trouble financially. Added to the fact that we were a small group which had been inhabited by people who volunteered to work for the yearbook, but soon dis- appeared after a few long sessions after school, we knew we had a real problem. During November and December we tried every av- enue to push our books. Nothing seemed to move them. One week before our cover had to be sent in, I an- nounced to the staff and our representative that I felt that we should cancel the book of the year ... at that time we had sold 200 books. With this I gave up on the SPECTRE. I cancelled all further meetings and activities. Much to my amazement, a group of the staff got to- gether and began to threaten, conjole, twist arms, or use other methods of pressure salesmanship to sell the yearbook. At the end of the week, this group had sold 500 SPECTRES. Now the real work began. We were hopelessly be- hind in everything. It was then that I began to call for extra long staff meetings after school. Had it Not been for One Life to Live”, Another World, and Edge of Night we’d never have kept our sanity . . . we witnessed murders, rapes, divorces, and daily marital bouts . . . and realized we had few problems indeed. Through it all there were four staff members who were at every meeting— be it after school or a long night session. I could always depend on them to do whatever I asked of them. The Moral Support that they gave me was valuable beyond words. On my worst days, their quiet determi- nation to do a book made me keep trudging along. In fact, I often felt that the roles had been reversed. These stalwart four went out of their way to bring me food, send me Valentine flowers or rub my tired shoulders. This 1977 SPECTRE that you are holding in your hands, and are about to enjoy (because it is a record of your 1976-77 school year at Phoebus High School) is a result of the hard work of those people. As the sponsor of the yearbook, I thank them. As students of Phoebus I think that when you see these people in the halls of PHS or on the streets, you should stop them and thank them for the 1 977 Edition of THE SPECTRE. So as sponsor of the SPECTRE, I dedicate the 1 977 Edition of THE SPECTRE to Veronda Cobb, Sylvia Mann, David Diaz, and Kelly Cross. Thank you for giving us the book, for restoring my faith in volunteers and for radiating the goodness and dedication which kept D-34 ALIVE and PRINTING. $ 7 1 10 At Charlottesville, editor, Veronda Cobb smilingly accepts a first place for the ' 76 Spectre. Framed by a Christmas tree, David Diaz accepts partial from students in the mall. t By 9:30, Sylvia Mann, David Diaz, and Kelly Cross are ready to call it a night after a long night session.

Trying all possibilities, David Diaz attempts to make the sports section come out evenly as Sylvia Mann offers her assistance.

DATS ©IF ©1JF LIVIES I I PHOEBUS ' BIGGEST HOUR It was Phoebus High School’s biggest night; guests had come from far and near. The occasion? The formal dedication of Phoebus High School. The audience was laced with descendents of Harrison Phoebus; founder of Phoebus Va, School board workers, city councilmen, and many citizens of Phoebus and Hampton. Platform guests included Mr. John P. Mug- ler, who was presented a ’76 Spectre, which had highlighted Phoebus’ History, Dr. Robert Anderson, Superintendent of Schools for Hampton and Dr. William E. Lavery, President of VPI, who was the keynote guest speaker. The highlight of the evening was the formal acceptance of the structure by our principal, Mr. Don Musselman, who delivered joke after joke in his speech. Everyone who was there will always recall Phoebus’ dedication on October 5, 1976. Newly appointed Superintendent of Hampton Schools Board, Dr. Robert An- derson makes his first formal appearance before the citizens of Hampton and Phoebus. V Haloed by the darkness.

During Homecoming Weekend, a parade complete with floats, motorcycles, and bands marched from downtown Phoebus to the school. The juniors ' float won first prize over the many other entries Earlier in the week a large pep rally was held and topped off with a tricycle race manned by faculty contestants and the scalp- ing of a Kecoughtan Indian by the cheer- leaders. Needless to say, the presentation of the court and the crowning of senior Karen Jack- son, Homecoming Queen, was the highlight of the festivities for the week. As they ore being saluted by the Marine ROTC, Queen Karen Jackson and Dwayne Whiting flash smiles for the stands. Waiting ttf ' be introduce Williams at the coronation dance, the entire Homecoming Court line-up be- hind the dais. 16 At the pep assembly, a Kecoughtan warrior is smashed by the cheerleaders as on omen of what is to take place at the game. 17 Jl OBQBQe? oca THE NIGHT OF JAN. 15 SUCCESS The play was a murder mystery, centered around a secretary’s having murdered or not murdered her rich, ruthless boss who was also her lover. Directed by Mr. Sam Heatwole, the play was conducted as if it were an actual trial. Everyone in the audience was caught up in the aura of the affair— to the point of ap- plauding the verdict. The twelve members of the jury were cho- sen from the audience and had to come on- stage to listen to the evidence. In the end, they had to decide whether the accused mur- deress was guilty or not. On both nights the defendent was found not guilty”. The fall production, which was Phoebus’ first dramatic endeavor, was long awaited and well worth it. eBBoewae SPECIAL THINGS TAKE PLACE Christmas is the one time of year when ev- eryone behaves the way they should. During the holiday season, Phoebus was charged with the spirit of fellowship. Throughout the building evidence of the students spirit was around. In the language classes Christmas decorations were put on the walls and on the boards. The traditional green and red were everywhere. On the large plate glass windows, ‘‘Me rry Christmas” and holiday creatures greeted students and vistors. The SCA sponsored a Christmas party for the children of the teachers. With the adults barred from the party room the students en- tertained the kids with games and food. All in all the Christmas season was special at Phoebus. 20 pose last day of class, Jan Allred, Johnny d Ms. Sandra Andrews smilingly front of a student drawn nativity Griffin glumly wait. 21 Resting easy, Dennis West admires the ar- rangement of wooden Christmas tree ornaments. While a yule customer waits, Carolyn Walker changes a five dollar bill. Continues Last year, a beautiful Christmas tradition was begun at Phoebus. Thankfully the custom was continued this year. Mrs. Clara Winkelman and Mrs. Pat Harris’ classes made handicrafts for a huge Christmas Bazaar. From September until the last day before the fete, the students faithfully worked on Christmas handi- crafts. There were a variety of things to choose from— wreaths, puzzles, vases, key chains, wooden orna- ments, and canisters. For the two days the bazaar was held in D-4, teach- ers and invited parents filled the room and did bits of holiday shopping. With all displays manned by students, and cashiered by students, the Bazaar was a great success for all connected with it. TOURNAMENT BRINGS US ©QQK) caaawe d)Q 9 When the city of Hampton announced its yearly tennis tournament at the coli- seum most students could have cared less. But when they realized that one of the players was Dean Martin Jr. and he and several others were coming to Phoebus to practice, things were different. All day long students, especially the girls filled the gym to watch the stars prac- tice. Naturally Dino was the center of at- traction. All day long he patiently signed autographs on everything from notebooks to arms. And listened to students query, “Are you somebody? Do something . Goodnaturedly Mr. Martin Jr. diligently practiced for the tourney. 24 • I STUDENTS GIVE BLOOD When the call went forth for blood— the answer came from our students. Well over a 100 students gave blood. Sponsored by the Red Cross, the first blood drive sponsored at Phoebus was a suc- cess. Those students who gave blood were dismissed from school for the rest of the day. A little weak— a few even passed out— the Phantoms, when asked said they were glad they donated Blood— they felt they’d done something. 25 SPIRIT WEEK ewBB eaaea Utter Chaos! Students dressed as tiny tots, students and teachers wearing foolish head gear were just some of the antics doing “Spirit Week . Spirit Week was the result of the SCA’s brainstorm for basketball Homecoming. On Friday night during half time of the basketball game with Denbigh (which we won), Junior class President crowned Miss Gwen Parker, escorted by cadet Dwayne Whiting. Following the game, a dance was held for the students and the Basketball Homecoming Court. With the minimum of effort, Earl Roberson places the crown on Gwen Parker ' s head as Dwayne Whiting stands at attention. 26 27 Pre-Schoolers Qaaeoavae Each morning, pre-schoolers came to Phoebus for classes. Taught by girls en- rolled in the Child Care Class, the little folks gladly came to learn the basics of school. Attempting to help the children to adapt to the routine of regular school when they enter as first graders, it also gives the girls practice in caring for youngsters. One morning in early May, parents and guests gathered in the theater for graduation ceremonies for the young- sters who attended the Child Care Classes for 77. Gathered on the stage, the folks were uninhibited and displayed skills they’d acquired. They did a “hoop dance, pledged allegiance to the flag, and sang. Finally, Tanya Summers awarded each youngster a diploma. Some of them instantly made tooters or tele- scopes out of the papers. This first graduating class was some- thing special. 28 Opp. pg.: The star of graduation was Little Miss Pacquin whose candidness delighted the audience. Proudly, excited parents bleam their pride in their sons and daughters. This page: At the beginning of the program, the children recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Patiently, Frances Rossi tries to comfort one of the disgruntled young men. Receiving their diplomas, each graduate walked up steps to be greeted by Tanya Summers. At the end of the ceremony, each little tyke finds a use for his diploma. 29 Needing a smile to enhance their routine, Patricia Cunningham and Lovetta Johnson ex- eir dance steps. Talent Show To say the least, the talent at the ' 77 Stu- dent Talent Show was meager. Surely it was not a true sample of the abilities of Phoebus’ Phantoms. For the entire show there were only four acts— a couple of dance-girl troops, a hard- rock group and a big jazz sound. Emcee Rick Jefferson had a difficult time appeasing the student audience who didn ' t fully appreciate the talents of the performing groups. To compensate for the scarity of tal- ent, the acts were overly long. All in all, the talent show was not one of Phoebus’ best attempts at entertainment for 77. V. V Caught in the act of snooping, Carol Harllee and Tim Hlghes attempt to “look” natural. Basking in the spots, Tim Fincham, Jonathan Helton, Cherry Smith take their bows. Undaunted by the curlers and cream, Lorna Stewart is persuaded by Lisa Leach that she heard nothing. It starts all over again when Tim Hughes steps out of the closet at the end of the play. 32 Elio Richardson holds a gun on everyone until the leader of the thugs steps forth. Frantically, Cherry Smith and Lorna Stewart try to re- vive Lisa Leach who ' s seen another body. Vern, the sheriff, attempts to separate Steve Cipriano and Carol Harllee as the entire cast watches. BODY PRODUCTION The spring production of the Drama De- partment was Exit The Body. This farce about a newly rented cottage and a closet which is full of dead bodies— which ap- pear and disappear. Making her Phoebus debut, Lisa Leach had the starring role and was supported by Lorna Stewart, Tim Hughes, Carol Har- llee, Ella Richardson. In lesser roles, Cherry Smith, Jonathan Helton, Kevin McKinnon and Steve Cipriano did admi- rable jobs. As Vern, the Sheriff, Tim Hughes, did an outstanding job. But Carol Harllee immor- talized her lines, “Vern, Vern, is that you? lines. The play made all laugh and will long be remembered. 33 Preparing for the real thing, Cathy Owens is given a mock interview by a representative of Busch Gardens. Deep in concentration, Joe Sullivan checks his folder for errors. 34 MRS. PATTON TRIES PILOT PROGRAM Receiving her certificate for completing a vocational course, Bernice Gibbs turns to exit off the stage. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE PREPARING FOR THE Mrs. Lydia Patton was in charge of Vocational Guidance at Phoebus. Innovative in her ap- proach, Mrs. Patton put students who weren’t going to further their educations through simu- lated vocational exercises. Meeting every other week, the students were given folders and notes on how to better their chances of being hired upon graduation. Upon completion, personnel people came in to interview these people and give them j pointers. All in all, when it was over, students rated the pilot program a success. 35 ssl i yre In the Holmes Hprem, Mr. Dave Mefferd and Mr. Bill Holmes accompanies Mrs. Lydia Patton, Mrs. Janita Davis, Mrs. Martha Woods, Mrs. Al- vina Jones and Mrs. J idy Riss in a moving dance. 36 aecoa gong ’EM Mr. Robert agether. What a way to end the year! Watching the teachers getting ‘‘gonged for lack of talent! The acts were deplorable— but they tried! There was everything from belly dancing, to a crazed robot, to a rock song. All was in fun and the audience roared when the acts were gonged. But the highlight was when Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Bailey who ' s been gonged, secretly brought out two pies and let two of the judges, Mrs. Moran and Mrs. Washington have it in the face. What a show— thank goodness it only comes once a year. 37 After inducting Susan Scarborough into the Quill and Scroll, Mrs. Bonnie Lie hfield gets a little emotional. For being the outstanding Physics student, Joe Crowley is given a presentation from Mr. Tim Hester. 38 eeautSQe RECOGNIZED Often times, it seems that those stu- dents who excel academically never get any of the glory that non-scholars get. To combat this, on May 23, an Aca- demic Awards Night was held. Each department awarded certificates to those students who had distinguished themselves in the classroom. Even though it was held at night, the at- tendance was good. People really came out to see a school award scholars and not athletes. Hopefully, this will be a tradition that will continue at Phoebus. 39 The surprise of the day, was super jock Mr. Mike Tal- lon, who did everything super well. The first hazard of the course was getting through the tires without falling. These fancy shirts didn ' t help the men win enough events to emerge victorious. Many contestants did not do well in every event as shown by this landing. The only casualty of the day was Mr. Danny Harris ' torn ligament. The agony of defeat, but Mr. Don Musselman comes to Mrs. Bonnie Litchfield ' s rescue. Softly, Sharon Boone walks her egg to victory. Apparently, Miss Sandra Andrews had trouble getting through a hurdle . Ready for the 440 relay, Greg Eure, Coach Lee and Darryl Cooper give it their all. 40 JUNE JUBILEE BEGINS ‘tfQaoovaeea Traditions begin simply! Hopefully, June Jubilee will be one at Phoebus. Similar to the popular Challenge of the Stars Sports Spectacular, June Jubilee pits the boys and girls of each class against each other and the male and female fac- ulty teams. Made up primarily of field events, the contests also included three-legged races, egg toss, and spoon races. But the big event of the day was the ob- stacle course which included tires, hurdles, jumps and crawls. The track area was filled with students who eagerly watched their favorite teams and individuals. Later in the day, a dance was held and the Junior Class, who were the winners, were treated to a reception. Traditions begin early and hopefully last for a long, long time. 4 1 AFS STUDENT Phoebus received its first exchange student this year. Ertan Sunay, hailed from Turkey. While here, he stayed with the Noah family. Easily fitting into the routine of American life, Ertain joined many clubs, especially Chess. When interviewed for the paper, Ertan stated that his biggest shock of America was the economic levels. In Turkey, he believed all Americans drove Cadillacs and lived luxu- riously. After a few weeks in America, he stated he realized this wasn ' t true. After graduation, Ertan returned to Turkey where he ' ll continue his studies. To help, AFS students sold doughnuts and had a garage sale. Anxiously, we’re waiting for next year ' s student. f After checking his scholastic average, Mr. Tim Hester, National Honor Society sponsor, presents Ertan with his membership as Mr. Don Musselman looks on. 42 The 1976-77 American Field Service orga- nization for Phoebus. EVERYONE GERALD Of all the Phantoms at Phoebus, their most admired is Gerald Newsome. Totally blind, Gerald attends classes every day and functions like any other student. Manuevering himself through the hall, with no assistance except his cane, Gerald could be seen all over the school. Free of inhibitions, Gerald joined in dis- cussions, attended school sports and dances. Well liked by all, Gerald finds himself among friends who are always there to help him when and if he needs a helping hand. 43 Anxiously, Beverly Basford and her date await the announcement of the Prom King and Queen. As the evening wears on, the crowd ' s enthusiasm for dancing to Harvest grew with the music. Prom Queen Michel Courtney and King Greg Eure dance the King Queen ' s dance after being awarded their plaque. 44 ft Tenderly, Lynn Tuttle gives Paul Crowley a peck on the cheek as romantic music plays in the background. Survey the various expressions on the faces of the people at this Prom Table— interesting, isn’t it? Longingly Yvonne Clinton watches the couples on the dance floor as Wade Everett eyes everything. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE The Jr. -Sr. Prom had class! Held at the officers’ club at Fort Eustis on May 28th, it was an elegant event. Dressed in their finest, greeted and es- corted by the ROTC, the juniors, seniors and their dates soon filled the lavish room. Lively music by Harvest soon put every- one to dancing. By mid way, hairdos be- gan to droop and tuxes became sweat stained. But everyone was having fun. At intermission Michel Courtney and Greg Eure were presented as Prom Queen and King. Then it was back to dancing, sipping punch, munching on cake and nuts or go- ing to the parking lot for? The evening ended too quickly, but par- ties continued on at other places. Ah, Prom night ’77. 45 CLASS NIGHT SENIORS ©0 Q? Abb Completely written, directed and acted out by the seniors. Class Night was a kind of pictorally comic look at the last two years. With gentle humor, the almost finished twelfth graders poked gentle fun at the school, the teachers, but, most of, themselves. The audience, composed mostly of se- niors, laughed and cheered at the show— especially the “take-offs” on Ms. Owens and Flood and Mr. Carr. Other skits ranged from the naming of the colors, the “usual” cafeteria com- plaints, to classroom scenes. The naming of the senior superlatives was announced via flashback. The show ended with a futuristic scene in 2025. As old ladies, Cindy Lewis and Deborah Roberson re- call the Senior Superlatives. At one of the grueling rehearsals, Doug Johnson at- tempts to show Leisa Petersen, Jolida Walker, J.C. Smith and Michele Courtney a little dance step. As others listen. Bill Murphy recites some of the ' 77 things he loves about Phoebus. Seniors spellboundly watched the entries on the stage. 46 Two futuristic seniors arrive at a Space Reunion. As Ms. Flood and Owens, and Mr. Carr, Michelle Hawkins, Donna Paige and Ray Hogge brought down the house. As a ‘ ' soul white group, Rick Jefferson, J.C. Smith, and Doug Johnson gyrate on stage. On June 12, 1 977, at 7:30 in the Hamp- ton Roads Coliseum, Phoebus High School’s first graduating class held its Commencement Exercises. The short, but impressive rite was carried out before friends, guest, parents, relatives and faculty members. The ceremony was begun with speeches by Tina Wallace; class president, Carol Harllee and Jonathan Helton, honor graduates. All three spoke to their peers expressing concern and idealism for themselves and their society. After a few brief remarks by Dr. Joseph Lyles, in Superintendent Anderson’s absence. Principal Don Musselman presented diplomas to 260 seniors. With the transfer of tassles, it was all over except for a few tears, smiles and some sighs of relief. Phoebus’ First Class had completed its high school career. 49 jmihl The Class of ’77 was at Phoebus for only two years. They came from three high schools — Ke- coughtan, Hampton, and Pembroke. In that short time they created an air of togetherness. Every senior was proud to be one of the first graduates of Phoebus High School. Many of the seniors had left their mark on us. Boo Williams was our first SCA president, Ginny Smith wrote our Alma Mater, Al Horne brought us national attention with his running, Ertan Sunay was our first AFS graduate. There were so many who had contributed to Phoebus; who’d helped us get off the ground; who ' d helped establish traditions. One and all. We were all Proud Phantoms on Graduation Night. 50 Posing with his girlfriend, Cathy Becouvarakis and chum, Ann Lawson, Jimmy Hunt seems to be glad its all over. li FROM HERE It was over so quickly. With the transfer- ring of the tassles from right to left, twelve years of education was terminated. Outside in the mall area, friends, parents and teachers congratulated them happily. They proudly posed with their parents, best pals, girlfriends, boyfriends— always bran- dishing the diplomas. The air was alive with excitement. They were free . . . For some, more years of education was just a day or two away. For others new jobs were waiting. A few already had wedding dates set. No matter how excited each one of them was, there had to be a moment when, ‘‘Where do I go from here,-” entered their thoughts. 51 BIG EVENTS r l PREVIEW FOR SPORTS SPECTACULAR CROSS COUNTRY: This group of young men make their points a cross the country.

A lot of hard work went into our team this season that we can be proud of. The goal for this year was to place 5th in the district meet but we went further to place 3rd. We placed 5th in the regionals. The team captain was Scott Winebarger. The most valuable runner was Michael Brown. The most deserving were Ronald Coleman and Scott Winebarger. The leader and the most steadily to improve was Ronald. Ronald placed 11th in the district meet. He missed the regionals by 2 places. Ron is the best Vi miler on the peninsula. Michael Brown placed 5th in the district out of 95. He placed 4th in the regionals out of 1 50 places. And out of 200 he placed 40 in the state meet. The ALL CITY TEAM consisted of Michael, Ronald, Scott, Jeff, and Al Wagner. Our record was 6-2. Last year in district we placed 10th and this year we were 3rd. You can see that our young men have really been working. Coach Ryan says that they ran the whole summer. They ran 80 miles a week, which came out to about 8-12 miles a day. 55 AGONY OF DEFEAT “For the first year we did a good job because no one had ever played AAA before! Our district is the toughest in the state, which we were third. It takes longer for the offense to develop, since it takes more skill, which our guys acquired towards the end of the season. Coach Smith said, “We hurt because we were inexperienced.” The football team has now gained its experience. He feels that we will have a stronger team next year. We had about six or seven seniors that played regularly. The defense really did an outstanding job. We were 2-6-0 at the end of the season. Our rivals were the Bethel Bruins, who thought they were hot stuff. We proved them wrong when we showed them a thing or two. The Bruins said, “Well, ya’II didn ' t win. The Phantoms remarked, “We were good enough to keep you from scoring! A victory to be proud of you can be sure. Our homecoming game against Kecoughtan, an- other victory that brought the Phantoms out of their seats. The score was 27-14. After the team lost a few games the support from the Phantoms dropped. The team felt down because crowd morale was low. When we got up, the crowd spirit rised. Because of two injuries, the team played harder against Kecoughtan. 56 i mm. This is one way to avoid the agony of defeat. The team really gets involved at the football pep rally as the cheer- leaders present them a spirit chain. Phantom tackier, Curtis Seaborn, has his work cut out for him as he advances two yards. With the determination of O.J. Simpson, Pee Wee Jenkins hugs the ball as he runs. During the 2nd Quarter of the game between Denbigh and Phoebus, 20 Jerry Saunders just tiptoes over a Patriot as a fellow Phantom guards him.

All alone, Patty Kellihan gives her team “two”. From the inside, Pam Ellis zips the nets. On a picture perfect lay-up, Linda Richardson scores against Ferguson. In the final minutes, Regina Rainey shoots for the goal. Put Phoebus on the Map! The Phoebus Girls ' Basket- ball team did this. People from all over the State knew about Phoebus when the girls won the State Cham- pionship at Madison College. As if this weren ' t enough the girls, led by high scorer and captain Linda Richardson, were first in the district and regionals— bringing home bronze, silver and gold trophies. Showing the feelings for all of their fans, the city council presented the squad with their playing jerseys and a luncheon. The most impressive thing was the blue and gold sign saying Hampton Home of Phoebus AAA Girls ' Basketball State Champions” were placed all over the city. The thirteen girls, who coaches Phil Lee and Mike Tallon feel were as good as any team in the state, had several high point scorers— Patty Kellihan, Regina Rainey, Cindy Lewis, Pam Ellis, and D.J. Dirska. j 00 GYMNASTICS: “IMPROVED!” When asked about this year’s gymnastics team. Coach Retha Montgomery answered that ‘‘IMPROVEMENT was the key word. She felt each member of the squad im- proved and that she was pleased that the number of team members had improved from last year. A vigorous recruitment program will hope- fully improve next year ' s squad. At the end of this season, the team whose members perform dual roles in the events had defeated Bethel, Lafayette and Ferguson. 60 I During her original routine, Cecilia Clinton executes a cartwheel for the judges. 1976-77 Gymnastics Team: Elaine Smith, Becky Florez, Jackie Killens, Mary McNair, and Nudie Robinson.

Back row: Coach Paul Ardary, Scott Parker, Kyle McSIarrow, and Mark Gorton. Quickly fans realize that setting up a goal is, as shown here, a team effort. SOMETHING NEW Something new came to Phoebus in 77 , Soccer. Inexperienced, the team made an admirable showing, placed second in the district. Although fan support was weak, due to most people not understanding the rules, the team, comprised of 23 members for- ged ahead. The captains David Crowley and Mark Gorton, led the 1 0 soccer players to 9 out of 1 2 victories. The peak of the season was defeating Kecoughtan, who was in first place. After each game a group of battered, but happy men, always enthusiastic when, more people came to see them ‘‘do their thing.” And slowly more and more partici- pated from the sidelines. In ' 78 fans will be more enlightened. 61 Opposite page: Really struggling for the take down. Tommy Florez needs the points to win.

Although they didn’t win a meet, those who held for the whole season were the most determined and most dedicated to wrestling. Steve Francisco pulled a remarkable upset against a 1 st seated wrestler in his weight class, while Rick Burns placed third in the district meet and went on to region- al. Although they were rookies, Andrew Tito, Greg Jackson, Eric Diez and Larry West made a great show- ing. Cliff West, Anthony ’’Toapy” Harris, and Steve Porkorny were among some of the junior high school wrestlers. Seen spending more time on the bench. Tommy “Irontoes” Florez was always cheering his fel- low teammates on. All were under the management of Coach Richard Holden with First Sargeant Gentry and Manager Ste- ven Francisco. 63 WE’RE NO. 1 IN DISTRICT How do you become No. 1 in the district? The biggest factor is the returning veterans from last year, plus excellent playing skills. Coach Arnold Baker concentrated on de- fense. And in spite of a knee injury to Boo Williams and an ankle injury, which put Eddie Smith out for the entire year, the team did whatever was asked of them. Brian Tyler, who averaged 8 points per game, was the Phantoms most improved player. Jerry Saunders and Boo Williams made first team on the All-District squad. In spite of the fact that the team lost to Maury and couldn’t go to state, the coach and school were proud of the Phoebus Phantoms. 64 Bounding off the floor, Michael Harrison outjumps a visiting Crabber.

When it came to Most Valuable Player, there was no contest. Boo Williams, who to- talled over a 1 ,000 points in his career, was the obvious choice. Doug Johnson and Larry Shields were cho- sen to receive the Most Deserving Awards. Take Charge Award and Best Free Throw Trophy was given to junior, Jerry Saunders. Brian Tyler, a senior, got the Best Defen- sive Award. And Gregg Eure was honored with an award for having the highest academic average. 66 opposite page: At practice, Johnny Burton works on his foul shot.

With their mainstay Al Horne, who ran the 300 and placed first in the District and Re- gional, the team had something to boast about. He was All American in this event. The mile relay team made up of Steve Blackley, Al Horne, Cornell Williams, and Earl Silver, placed fourth in the U.S. Naval Meet against competitors from up and down the east coast. This team was All American. Other All Americans were Ron Coleman for the 1 ,000 yd.; Earl Silver for the 600. These young men set many school, meet, and state records. 68 opposite page: Even though the weather was near zero, a bundled Coach Ryan and his men were ready to face LaFayette.

Phoebus ' ' 77 Outdoor Track Team will long be remembered by our school, the ex- perts, and the other athletes they competed against and defeated. The Mile Relay team, Al Horne, Cornell Williams, Ron Coleman, and Earl Silver, who were All Americans, were second in the Dis- trict, Regionals, and State. At the Penn Relays they came in sixth in the meet of east coast participants; at the Rotary Relays in Harrisonburg, they came in third; and in the Volunteer Track Classic, in Knox- ville, Tennessee, they placed second— beating their rivals, Bethel. Ron Coleman was the outstanding All American half miler. His best time was 1:54.8. At the Invitational Track Classic in Atlanta, Georgia, he ran the half mile in 1:58. Of course, Al Horne was the man. Ranked number three in the State, because of an up- set by Darryl Patterson, Al went to Chicago and not only beat Patterson, but came away number six out of all participants. This out- standing man ran the 100yd. dash: the 220 and the 440. These outstanding young men were coac hed by Gaylon Ryan and assisted by coaches Harris and Tallon. opposite page: The coaches for the outstanding outdoor track team were assistant coaches Mike Tallon and Danny Harris and head Coach Gaylon Ryan.

The girls track had a successful year in that they had a 4-2 season. All of the trackwomen were outstanding this year, each girl made an all out effort in participation. The girls track team consisted of the fol- lowing hard working young ladies: Linda Richardson, Linda Jenkins, Gloria Freeman, Nadine Wilson, Annette Perry, Lisa Watts, Winnie Toombs, Jackie McNair, Sharon Boone, Mary McNair, Karen Cooper, Cheryl Johnson, Linda Smallwood, Annette Clinton, Cristene DeHaven, and Rochelle Baker. All the trackwomen are to be commended. Brushing the sand off, Linda Richardson smiles with relief of finishing the long jump in first place.

In deep concentration Rochelle Baker prepares to throw the shot put. mM TEAM TAKES SWING The golf team often tee’s off and is “t’ed off because of the re- sults of the matches. Although the team had a poor season, winning half of their 8 matches, they improved individually. The most prized win was against Hampton, who was last year’s Dis- trict champions. The Phantoms defeated them by one stroke. At the end of the year, Eric Diez was awarded the Most Valuable Player Award for his 76 average. 74 .t .i- •V-a.W .

Tennis competition in our district is keen and for a player or team to excel is quite an accom- plishment. Receiving Most Valuable Player trophy was George Williams with a 5-3 record at No. 1 and Most Improved Player trophy went to Joe Crowley with a 2-6 record at number 5. 76 Opposite page: The team ' s best player, George Williams, paces out his moves before his serve.

Looking at their 0-8 record, doesn ' t tell the story. Everyone of the 7 girls worked diligently and improved over the season. More importantly, it was a fun season. In spite of their defeats, the girls never gave up and continued to tote their good luck charms— pink towls, animal crackers and lem- onade— to every match. Coach Hershey gave the Most Valuable Player Award to Carolyn Wilson, and Karen Schmanska walked away with The Most Improved. The girls and coach know next year will be better. 79 YOU HAD TO BE THERE It sounds like the usual sob” story to ra- tionalize a 5-15 season, but it’s true. The Varsity Baseball team lost many games by 1 or 2 runs. The record in no way indicates how close the games were. As the saying goes, “You had to be there! Coach Ray Smith feels that next year with a little more work and team effort, the team will do much better. At the end of the year, Kevin Overby, who won three games as a pitcher and also played third base, was voted Most Valuable Player. The Best Offensive Player was Earl Roberson, who led the District in stolen bases— 15.

SPECIAL The Spectre staff has selected these ath- letes who have consistently been praise worthy both in their sports and in the classroom. Alburtus Horne: As a track participant, Al has brought us National attention with his fetes in track meets at Atlanta, Chi- cago, and Knoxville. Specializing in the 220 and 440, Al has consistently placed in the top positions at all meets. In the state meet Al defeated Darrel Patterson, to be ranked number three in the state. A quiet, dedicated young man, Al con- tinually practices to better himself. For his college career, Al has signed with the University of Tennessee. Richard Burns: As a wrestler, Richard Burns knows what it’s like to be an individ- ual at his sport. Working under the handicap of having had three different coaches and having at- tended two different high schools, Richard has made outstanding contributions to his teams each year. An intense young man, Richard dili- gently applies himself to whatever project is assigned to him. For the last two years, Richard has rep- resented Phoebus in the Regionals— this year he placed Third in his weight class. Richard will attend ODU where he’ll participate in golf as well as wrestling. The Four Young Men of the Mile Relay Team were excellent examples of athletic prowess. Earl Silver, Ronald Coleman, Al- burtus Horne, and Cornell Williams, placed second in the District, Regionals, and State meets. At the Penn Relays they placed sixth; third at Rotary Relays, and second in the Volunteer Track Classic. All American for High Schools, these four men, who were outstanding students will further their careers at colleges of their choices; Silver and Coleman to Dela- ware State; Horne, University of Tennessee. Linda Richardson: Linda has been one of the mainstays of the girls basketball team. This year as captain, she was influential in leading the team to their State Championship. A steady high scorer, Linda played out- standingly both defensively and offensively. As a member of the AAA Girls Basket- ball State Championship Team, Linda has signed to go to Hampton Institute next year. Marcellus “Boo Williams: Boo has been Phoebus’ most popular athlete. The 6 ' 7” lad has racked up 1,237 points in his high school career. Twice he was named to the All Star Dis- trict Teams. A consistent high scorer. Boo was awarded the Outstanding Player Trophy by his coach at the end of the year. Boo, who was also an outstanding foot- ball player and the President of the SCA, signed to attend college at St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These fine young athletes have been at- tributes to both their teams and to their school and we wish them luck.

SCfl: SCHOOL HEART The Student Council Association is the heart of Phoebus. Led by Boo Williams, who succeeded himself last year, the SCA at- tempted to govern the school and give their fellow students benefits. Sponsoring various events during the year, the SCA was extremely busy. One of the memorable occasions was the Christmas Party thrown for the children of the faculty. Meeting when deemed necessary and sponsored by Mr. Toy Carpenter, the SCA raised money, strived for student planned lunches, salad bars, student lounges, and assemblies. Governing a new school which is still marked by a great deal of apathy was not an easy task, but Phoebus ' SCA make strides to- ward helping the students and their high school.

But once the people realize that being a staffer on the Spectre means long, grueling hours af- ter school, most of them disappear. The small staff was confronted this year with poor sales. Trying to sell 500 books was a chore. For a while, the possibility of can- celling the book was considered, but aban- doned after a small group of the staff forced people to subscribe. Meeting every day after school and headed by Veronda Cobb, the staff worked, watched soap operas, ate, laughed, and turned out a 200 page yearbook. 93 LACK OF FINANCES PLAGUE PAPER Finances, or lack of them, plagued the newspaper this year. No matter what the cov- erage, not many issues were sold. Trying various gimmicks to raise money, the P.T. Express staff was busy. At the begin- ning of the year, they sponsored the teach- ers ' beautiful baby contest, later they sold roses for Valentine’s Day, and hawked doughnuts and popcorn for the rest of the year. In spite of its small size, the Express staff diligently worked to meet their deadlines and publish a newspaper to be proud of. 94 At a wrestling match, Scott Winebarger jots down notes for a sports column.

Soliciting artistic and creative material from the student body, the staff chose selec- tions which represented the artistic endeavors of their peers. When a call went out for a name for the magazine, several people volunteered; Mr. Sam Heatwole was chosen. With the help of the Graphic Arts Depart- ment, the staff printed up the Phantasy and distributed it to eagerly waiting patrons and subscribers. From the look on her face as Kerry Walton and Eric Cipriano show her one of the selections; Can you tell her verdict?

The club ' s airtime was 10:30 am Saturday morning and tape- time was 2:30 pm on the preceeding Thursday on every seven weeks because there were seven other schools recording also. WVEC 1490 is the Host Radio Sta- tion for Phoebus High ' s Radio Club in- cluding all other schools on the Penninsula also. The first broadcasting was an interview with the three first district congressional candidates. Congressman Trible was one of the candidates. Two other interesting broadcastings were interviews with Mr. Tom Baily on an issue about school discipline, and General manager of V.E.P.C.O. About consuming energy. 97 PSI FRIENDS THEN COUNSELORS Last year, Mrs. Martha Woods and Mr. Jim Thompson sponsored Peer Counseling, which was so successful that it continued this year. Positive Student Influence is a group of students which go to the junior high schools and get to know the students so they can talk to them on their own levels. Often times, junior students do not lis- ten to adults, so these juniors and seniors visit the ‘‘feeder schools” to Phoebus and get to know these teen-agers. When the time comes to counsel them about high school, their “friends” help them make decisions— their peers help them.

HERO chapters are a part of the na- tional organization for home economics students through grade 12. HERO stands for Home Economics Related Occupations. It is opened to anyone who has been in special occupational classes as Child Care and Food Service. The HERO chapter tries to find different community activities. This year the chapter adopted a grandparent. They had regular visits with her and made her a cake on her birthday. The chapter participated in many activi- ties such as donut sales, weekly bake sales, and at Christmas they visited the Kings Daughters Hospital to entertain the children. Their final activity was a picnic at the park. The Spring Rally for the HERO chapters in this district was held here at Phoebus. 101 $ 140,000 EARNED! Last year, the DECA students earned more than $140,000 from on the job training and fund raising. One of the most active organizations and classes in the school, these students take DE classes in the morning, and work on the job in the afternoon. Still they find time to raise money by selling pies, candy and building floats or collecting money for M.D. Whatever the task, DECA is there to help.

VICA is for those students who plan to ex- cel in the technical trades such as hair styling and auto mechanics. The FBLA is for those students who take business courses and who work in the offices around the peninsula. Both organizations showed their business “know how by washing cars, selling or- anges, and selling small items. The VICA helped needy families at Christ- mas with their money; the FBLA went to New York. mm. 103 BAND: TRIPS AND AWARDS Playing an instrument is not all work, as the Phoebus Band has proven. Sure, they have won several awards with hard work and dedi- cation, but they also have time for fun and games. Under the supervision of Mr. Daniel Bor- lawsky, they have taken many top awards, such as All-City, Regionals, Music Festival and numerous individual awards. When the funds get a little low, money-raising activities included doughnut sales, car washes, candy and citrus sales are engaged. READY-MARCH! Despite the fact that they practiced most of the summer to get where they are, twirling a ba- ton isn ' t the only activity these girls engage in. Just this past Christmas, the Majorettes, who are sponsored by Mrs. Virginia Owens and trained by Mrs. Arlene Silverthorne, made stockings for the Patrick Henry Senior Citiz ens Hospital. The Majorettes, consisting of Shari Ball, De- nise Powell, Debbie Houpt, Kim McDonald, Gaye Eleby, Sherri Stroupe and Jackie Killens, march in parades and entertain during half-time and pep rallies.

The music ranged from Bach to GodspeH” (a rock gospel). Soloists were featured during the evening. Karen Vaughn an sang a Latin Classic, while Willie Brown did his rendition of a favorite gospel. A quartet consisting of Carol Harllee, Becky Horne, Keith Williams and Willie Brown sang a madrigal. Mr. William Crump gave out awards to each of the sections, also an academic award. In appreciation, A ' Cappella presented him with a token of love. All in all, the evening of music was delight- ful in it ' s power and simplicity. 106 Doing a madrigal selection, Carol Harllee, Becky Horne, Willie Brown and Keith Williams sing out their parts.

Hours and hours of practice are needed to learn all the words and routines. In the summer, workshops are attended where new routines are learned for the fall sports season. Besides cheering at all the varsity games, the girls also do various money making projects to raise money for projects. The girls are a needed asset to every game — no matter what the sport. They are the ones who keep everyone ' s spirits up — no matter what the score. Doing thei4 Fonzie Cheer , Alicia Johns ' and Tina Bryant give theTLtendition of those Happy Days gone by.

J.V.’S EXUBERANCE Being a junior varsity cheerleader is like a training ground for being a varsity cheer- leader. The duties of the JV cheerleaders are the same as those of the older girls. With the exuberance equalled by few, the JV’s, sponsored by Mrs. Sylvia Thomas, cheer at all the JV sports events. When the cold spell forced the cancellation of junior varsity sports, the girls too were curtailed. But with candy sales and other projects, the girls kept busy all year long.

SEA IRC E EC IR TOMORROW 113 Busy Busy Busy is key word It’s better the second time around seems to be the slogan for Principal Don Musselman. The first year of managing Phoebus seemed to have a few bugs in the system, what with failing faci- lities and new students to get to know. But all that has been straightened out now. Mr. Musselman is seen fre- quently roaming the halls, keep- ing tabs on the well-oiled ma- chine that Phoebus is. Yet despite his busy schedule, Mr. Mussel- man still has time to fraternize with the students and enjoy a good joke.

Mrs. Arnetta Washington is in charge of instruction and Mr. Tom Bailey is in charge of administration. Often times their responsibility overlap and they work as a team. Mrs. Washington ' s main tasks are scheduling process and eval- uating the instructional program and teachers. Mr. Bailey ' s roles include supervision of the building and grounds. He also coordi- nates all extra-curricular activities. Mr. Roger Lilly also helps Mr. Bailey in supervising the grounds and buildings. Ms. Jane Moran and Mr. Robert Mitchell are the Dean of Girls and Boys. A taxing job, these two alternate the duties of issuing excuse notes in the morning. Each also administer discipline for misbehavior. The four individuals help make Phoebus run a bit more smoothly. 1 16 opposite page: Chatting with her April Fools replacement, Maxine Parker, Mrs. Ametta Washing- ton shows her some papers on scheduling.

I 17 A VOCATIONAL TRADES STRESSED THIS YEAR The Guidance Department handled scheduling fo r all Phoebus students. And even though there other things they did, it seemed they always busily fitted students into class slots or listening to com- plaining students’ pleas for changes. In addition to their regular programs, a CIVIS, a career info computer was used by students. Also each counselor helped departments do assemblies related to jobs related to that particular subject. Two new programs were begun. The Peer Counseling Group sponsored by Guid- ance for Jr. High Students. Also Mrs. Lydia Patton began the Vocational Training program for students who will not continue education after completion of high school. Guidance is the one section of the building where students go willingly. 118 opposite page: During his free hour, Vic Heilman works with the CIVIS computer.

That’s the word for the secretaries, aides, and nurse at Phoebus. Holding down the main office are Mrs. An- ita McKinley, Mr. Mussleman’s secretary, who does a thousand other chores from an- swering the phone to making announcements. Mrs. Kay Garris and Mrs. Wardlaw Warn- ock man” the main office. They do every- thing from answering the phones to handing out lunch tickets to giving change for dollars. At the same time, Mrs. Warnock balances the schools’ books. Up in Guidance, Mrs. Alvina Jones oper- ates the main reception area, while Mrs. Ja- nita Davis and Mrs. Judy Riss aide the staff in scheduling. Visited by students galore, Mrs. Joan Gil- bert, the school nurse, perates the clinic. All of these women work from early in the morning to late in the evening to help PHS run more smoothly. 120 : - I I I opp. page With an anxious expression, Mrs. Kay Garris gets into the Christmas spirit.

Miss Sandy Andrews recently took one of her classes to a French play and to France. Spanish classes, run by Mrs. Allison Foster and Miss Gwen Barbour, have been to dinner, had parties and several guest speakers in Spanish-related occupations. The Latin students, taught by Mrs. Joyce Frazier, engaged in a City Wide Latin Banquet for high school students; while German class, under the direction of Mr. Bernie Spitzer, has been involved in a number o f activities. The biggest event has been the painting of murals in the classrooms of Mrs. Foster, Miss Barbour and Miss Andrews. They depict typical Spanish and French scenes one would see if they ventured to these countries. If these subject-related, expressive projects catch on, our drab white wall may have a bit of color added to them next year. 123 ENGLISH: 4 CHANCES TO CHANGE As much as many students protest, English is still the one course that all stu- dents have to take all year long. But at least students get to switch classes and teachers every nine weeks four times a year. Students are deluged with a variety of subjects to choose from Clear Thinking, Shakespeare to American film and Folklore. In making their choices, many students still choose their courses of the basis of Is it easy?” Are my friends in it? and who teaches it?” In spite of there basis for selection, English it is a vital part of their environment. 124 At the first assembly, Mrs. Katherine McHugh intently listens as Mr. Bernie Spitzer explains the usual procedure. During Spirit Week Mr. Neil Cox dons some of his ' 50’s fashions and still keeps demeanor in the classroom. As students enter the class, Mrs. Bobbi Griffin points to their assignment on the Board.

ENGLISH STAYS “MINI” At the end of the year when all other department ' s announced that they were abandoning the nine week mini courses guess who did not? Yep, the English Department, the origi- nator of plan in the first place. Even though there were a lot of bugs in the sys- tem, those in charge decided that the weakness could be overcome. So, English teachers and students sat and scheduled themselves for next year. Besides, their classroom duties Phoebus English Department is one of the busiest . They are all sponsors of extra curricular activities and are the ones others come to to chaperone other school functions. 126 Caught at her cubical looking for her gradebook, Mrs. Kay Forrest asks if anyone ' s seen it.

The satellites located centrally around the school holds the books and equipment for par- ticular departments. One of the main problems this year was that the library was understaffed and on may days of the week, the satellites were closed and could not be used by either the teachers or students. The main structure is the hub of the school — or researching, socializing, doing homework, or catching a nap behind a shelf of books. This page: In one of the satellites, Liz DeWees browses for a book for class. Before the day begins, Mrs. Mildred Warren surveys the order of the library.

The staff consists of; Mrs. Brown, Clerk Typist I, Mrs. Printis, General Business, Mrs. Thorne, Steno and General Business, Mrs. Tyson, Steno II and Clerk Typist II, and of course Mrs. Riddick, head of the department, who keeps it all together while teaching bookkeeping. Almost all of the staff teaches typing I. In connection with the Business Department is FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) which is a national organization. The FBLA hosted the recep- tion for the Girls Basketball team and they raised money for their national project— The March of Dimes. Hidden away in the chorus room, Mrs. Norma Brown and Mrs. Belle Tyson count the citru s fruit as it ' s distributed. After school, Mr. Eric Frazier calls to check up on his DECA workers.

Mrs. Helen Wilson, new this year, also teaches accounting. 130 131 PHYSICAL EDUCATION: POPULAR OR ... The Physical Education and Health Depart- ments are either the most popular or most hated classes in school. For the physically active, the PE classes like softball, tennis and volleyball are extremely well-liked. Lasting for only 9 weeks, the mini courses give the students the chance to take a variety of classes. The object of any of the classes is to help the students learn about their bodies and to keep them in better physical shape through physical activity everyday. Department Head Miss Peggy Slemp discusses a problem with Mr. Tom Bailey. During sixth period, Mr. Mike Tallon takes a minute to get Linda Richardson and Willie Brown out of the mall. After his knee operation, Mr. Phil Lee, confined to a wheel- chair, depended on student teacher, Mr. Leroy Wilson. 132 At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Sylvia Thomas chats to discuss marriage with Miss Retha Montgomery.

The area is abuzz with carpentry tools, small ma- chines, the roar of car engines and the beep-beep of electronic devices. The Practical Arts Department is geared to those students who desire a vocational training upon com- pletition of high school. Phoebus is fortunate to have the best equipped Industrial area in the city. Late in the year when Mr. Mike Horton left, Mrs. Machs replaced him in graphic arts. Be it learning to make shelves, silk screen T- shirts, repair a TV, replace a busted radiator, it call all be learned in the Practical Arts area HOP i J ' IVav m 134 I !

A stroll through the Art rooms lets one see many and varied artistic works. The big project this year was painting street scenes of old Phoebus on the columns in the mall. Harder than it looked, at year’s end the project still wasn’t finished. In the Music Department one can go in, pick up his sheet music and sing to his heart’s content. Although one doesn’t always get to sing the songs he would like to, the music students learn to train their voices. As the two concerts showed, the music stu- dents are an asset to Phoebus High School. 137 This page: In a zombie-like state. Miss Carol Routten (now Mrs. Riley) sur- veys the class.

Social Stud- ies offered varied courses from Women in History to Learning America to Out of the Shadows. Attempting to prepare students for their place in today ' s world. Social Studies shows them where we’ve come from, where we are today and the problems which will confront citizens of tomorrow. Since this was an election year, students got practical experience for their Political Parties class. The highlight of the year was when Mrs. Riley ' s classes founded political school parties with platforms for school changes.

EXPERIMENT The Science Department went mini this year and as a result there were different courses to take from Gardening to Chemistry and Physics. Attempting to teach students about them- selves, their environments and its com- ponents, the Science courses offer chances to experiment and explore. Going on a field trip after field trip, the students learn that the world around them has much to offer to aid us in understanding our- selves and our world. 141 MATH HAS RIGHT ANGLES TO INSTRUCT The Math department of Phoebus is equipped with the right books and machines to give students the education that will pre- pare them for college and every day living. But they would be of no value without ex- cellent teachers to show students how to work and solve mathematical problems and also how to operate these machines. Here at Phoebus we do have these teach- ers; Jeff Barr, Shirley Patterson, Connie Bas- nett, Ralph Ransom, Richard Sailey, Danny Harris, and Jessie Schulz. Trying to help everyone understand how to do their work can be sometimes complicating whether it be Fundamental Math, Algebra 1 or 2, Phases 1 of 2 of Algebra, Geometry, fundamental Geometry, or Trigonometry. They have patience with every student so they’re future in math will be more readily un- derstood. There are days that they use their own time, before and after school to help stu- dents understand their assignments much easier.

And their busi- ness seemed to be SUCCESS! With the nucleus of some fifty dedicated cadets, they have met or exceeded all of their goals. Rapidly developing those attributes taught in the classroom, they have proven that self-discipline leadership, honor and responsibility naturally develop into the Marine characteristic— individual and school PRIDE. The Rifle Team finished 17th out of 52 autho- rized Marine Corps Junior ROTC schools across the nation. The Drill Team, Color Guard and the rest of the JROTC unit, led by Cadet Captain Keith Wil- liams and Color Sergeant Tom Prantl, demon- strated they are forces to be reckoned with in the future. The highlight of the year occured when, in less than 24 hours, they captured the top trophy as “Best-in-Show” in the Loyalty Day parade and walked off with all the “iron as first in Regulation Drill, “Best Marching Unit” in the parade and review, and “Best Overall in H.I.’s ROTC Day competition against JROTC units from all services across the state! The JROTC Physical Fitness Team did very well for its first year, with Dwayne Whiting and Roch- elle Baker establishing records which will be hard to beat! If this first year is any indication, the Marine JROTC program at Phoebus is here to stay, with a tradition of excellence, discipline, dedication- to-school and pride. And we ll be PROUD of them, too! this page: At Awards program, 1 st Sgt. Gentry and lady from DAR present Keith Williams with the DAR Outstanding Cadet Medal. The Award Winning JR. ROTC Marine Corps.

These people were here last year under a different title, “Dreaded Ninth Graders which was a tragic comedy series. Thank goodness the series proved unpopular and the ninth graders were cancelled after one season. Most of the cast is back this season. But this time under the title of Sophomores.” Strangely enough, these people take to their new roles quite easily. Most of the childishness is gone and they are now dedicated to their new roles. Sponsored by Mr. Neil Cox and Mrs. Sylvia Thomas the high- lights of the series are spread out over many episodes. One adventure has the cast trying to convert a hay wagon into a football field for a Home- coming float. Watch the group fold and stuff thousands. The re- sult is asounding. IN the episode about the group on a picnic, watch the cast headed by D.J. Dirska chase ants and try to eat at the same time. JUNIORS: This popular group has been around for two sea- sons. Even though the faces are the same, they’ve lost a few old ones, but gained some replacements. After two years, the cast has grown a little mature in attitudes. Knowing that their show will run for at least one more season, these boys and girls take part in varied adventures in sports, clubs, academics— all of it. In the leading roles are Debbie Harris, Carolyn Wilson, Willa Williams and Earl Roberson. Three of the most exciting epi- sodes involve the juniors. Watch them receive their long awaited class rings at an assem- bly. Rings are turned and turned. 78 turns make the fingers swell. Another episode takes place at Fort Eustis Officers’ Club and lavish gowns and tuxedoes— no expenses are spared for this one. The Jr. -Sr. Prom has lots of danc- ing and beauty. The June Jubilee episode has the determined juniors defeating the egotistical seniors and over the hill faculty in the track events at the day long contest. Lots of sweat and bruises in this one. Remember this group returns next year for more fun and adventures. SENIORS: The cast of The Seniors was assembled two years ago from other schools. Al- though they ' ve only worked to- gether for two short years, they give a unified effort. Even though they know this is their last year, this group led by Tina Wallace, and Tina Bryant and others give their best efforts. Episodes involve sports, clubs class rooms, and outside activities. This large cast of around 300 already have positions for next season. Even though this is their last season the group spiritedly carries out their last 36 weeks. This group has many, many episodes. Sponsored by Miss Eu- genia Martin, Mrs. Janet Thorne and Mr. Jeff Barr, these people give full support. Two of the veterans ' best ef- forts come toward the end of the season. The combined efforts of this group and the juniors make the Prom the gala fun show that it is. Some of the regulars are hard to recognize in their elaborate costumes. The last episode of the regular season is a real tear jerker. Called Graduation” every se- nior makes a farewell appear- ance on stage and receives a to- ken of participation to the performances. This is the last time that the group will ever be assembled to- gether— bring a handkerchief. All in all, the Sophomores, Ju- niors, and Seniors will give us and themselves many many memorable events during the 1976-77 season.

JLCVERS AND f DIENDS 147 STUDENTS TAKE OVER SCHOOL The students literally took over Phoebus on April Fool’s Day! Volunteer students took on the classroon duties of the teachers. Calling roll, giving tests, showing films, and doing board work was all in the day’s work. Eagerly, J.C. Smith, Scott McFatter and Maxine Parker filled the positions of Mr. Mus- selman, Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Washington. The skeptics expected things to be the worst, but they turned out exceptionally well. At the end of the day— for the first time, the teachers were relaxed and calm, but, the teachers for a day crawled from the building. Daryl Alexander Janice E. Allred Lillian M.

Seniors contributed more than their share of noise and cheering, making the pep rallies exciting for everyone. Spirit was not only demonstrated at the pep rallies but through- out the day the students wore their “Phoebus Phantoms T-shirts, carrying the Phantom Spirit to every class. Memorable events that highlighted the pep rallies were the tri- cycle race and the dance contest in which many seniors partici- pated. Pep rallies encouraged togetherness, boosted the team’s morale, and gave both faculty and students a chance to show their spirit. Renee L. Davis Robert C. Davis Judith E. Devore Elizabeth A.

Some bene- ficially; others— well . . . In many of the classes Seniors used their ingenuity to create special projects. In the graphics department students created their own design for T-shirts, gym bags and jerseys. Others began the murals on the rotundas; decorated the building for Christmas, took parts in drama produc- tions, sang in the choir, work on the literary magazine and other creative projects. At the same time others were using their creativity to skip classes, forge exams notes, sneak into the smoking area, get to MacDonalds and back during lunch without getting caught. Ironically each group was using his creativity.

The Miss Phoebus for 76 was our own Miss Gwen Parker. Gwen was sponsored by Old Point National Bank. She was a former cheerleader. Gwen, a senior, was judged on her poise, personality and beauty and with the title a scholarship. The Phanroms were proud that Gwen brought the title to Phoebus for the first time. Thomas D.

Some worked at the local campaign headquarters, while others canvassed their neighborhoods or handed out flyers in public places. Not only did they study the qualifications for presidential candidates, but students closely examined Jimmy Carter’s and Gerald Ford’s habits. When the SCA sponsored a mock election in the mall, Jimmy Carter defeated Ger- ald Ford soundly. As Phoebus government classes went, so went the Nation in 76. 156 Cynthia C. Lewis Sandra L.

During the summer seniors had their portraits made. When they arrived they were shocked to realize that the pictures ranged from $40.00 to over $100.00. Having barely survived that ordeal, the senior officers and sponsors began to hound the twelfth graders for their dues of $ 1 5.00. Then January came and time for the ordering of caps and gowns and announcements. Something else to empty the pocket again. Rose Richards and Ernest Charnick watch Naureen Williford order her senior key. We EDUCATION STILL NAME OF GAME Sometimes with all the hubbub of being a senior, stu- dents forget that the primary purpose of the last year of high school is the same as the others— to further their learning. With all the extra curricular activities to lure them away from their studies, most seniors remembered their pur- poses and let their work in class come first. On graduation night the seniors who received recogni- tion for scholastics did not do so by accident. The awards were the results of many long hours of long hard work in the classroom and at home. ;s on a college which answers, Who Am iligently Working independently, Ron Coleman quietly works on a research paper on the League of % Gary D.

A lot of seniors spend their spare time loafing in the mall, talking in the smoking area, or cruising up and down the halls. Others use their spare time to better their school. Rather than just kill time, some seniors worked as aids for the Deans, in the guidance office or the main of- fice. A few become teachers aids. All of them ran er- rands, answered phones and delivered messages within the school. These seniors who helped their fellow students, their teachers, their school and left Phoebus a better place at the end of the year. Marcellus S.

They were at Phoebus last year as ninth graders. So this year Sophomores were old pros at being Phantoms. After a summer of working, Cruisin Buckroe, traveling or generally goofing off, the tenth graders arrived back at school and picked up where they left off last year— taking active roles in the class- room, in sports, clubs and other activities. n ' -v a H £ W,-‘, • • • n ' - • 165 ■■IB WHY ARE WE HERE? Sometimes it seems we forget that the primary purpose of school is to learn. Sophomores, like other stu- dents, took part in many class- room activities. Although most days were spent in the class, the days were varied. Sometimes it was the same ole grind— listening to the teacher, reading the books and regur- gitating answers on a test. Often activities were centered around the student. Involvement is the key to learn- ing. Whether it was writing an original sketch for Mrs. Thomas, creating a poster for Mrs. Bas- nett, or putting together a meal for the Blue Phantom Inn, Soph- omores did. And doing is learning.

Naturally, Sophomores are just a little more active than some of the upper classmen. Therefore it was not surprising that when we took an informal survey, the majority of the sophomores chose those classes in which they are physically doing as their favorites— especially physical education classes and those classes in vocational learning such as woodshop and auto mechanics.

For the student who is school activity oriented, there are many things to do during and after school. Sophomores had a diffi- cult time, because all junior var- sity sports were cancelled be- cause of our extreme winter. For the student who wants to forget at 2:40, Hampton holds a variety of activity from fair days to art shows. L_ . LET’S TAKE A TRIP-ANYWHERE During the course of the year, Juniors learning activities took them to a variety of places. Field trips seemed to come a dime a dozen. Students trudged off to Williams- burg, Fort Monroe, NASA and Washing- ton among other places. Each trip, for whatever reason resulted in learning experiences for the students. These experiences caused many stu- dents to realize that true learning takes place all the time, not just from 8:15 to 2:40. The Winebargefs— Jeff and Scott tour Gosnold ' s via their bicycles.

The end of the weeks activities is climaxed by the selection of Miss Phoebus. Local high school girls spon- sored by local merchants. This year there were quite a few ju- nior girls who participated— Tina Charnick, Joanne Christopher, Susan Reed, Corrine Sanzo, Duna Williams, Kim MacDonald and Pam Olsen.

All students will recall the win- ter of 76 because of its bleak coldness and the effect on them. First of all, it was cold in the classes with thermostats turned down to 65, it was cold walking to class but most of all alot of ac- tivities were either rescheduled or cancelled. All students enjoyed the unex- pected snows with cancelled school — 2 days, other found the cold days a nuisance after a while.

Earl Roberson ran for President unopposed. Carolyn Wilson and Tommy Florez ran for Vice-presi- dent and Carolyn won. Debbie Harris and Tina Day ran for Sec- retary, and was won by Debbie. Willa Williams and Tim Fincham, a new student ran for Treasurer and Willa won. Willa and Debbie held their same offices last year. These are very successful and hard-working juniors who want to help improve status of the class of ’78. 181 Donna Sexton Denise Simpkins Evelyn Silver Jaqualine Sinkler Sharlene Smaling Kenneth Smith Kathryn Spiller Paul Smelik Ronald Suwis David Summers Tanya Summers David Suttle Catherine Swan Mathew Swan Debbie Thiebad Georgette Thomas Mary Jo Tillery Andrew Tito Carlton Tucker Patricia Turlington Christy Vargas Avery Vaughan Kathy Vaughan Albert Wagner Carolyn Walker Kerry Walton Michael Walton Elter Ward April Warren Lisa Watts Lunita Weber Larry West Gloria Wheeler John Wheeler Oscar White Duna Williams James Williams Willa Williams Antjaun Wilson Carolyn Wilson Randy Wilson Frances Winston Kathryn Wolfe Alice Wright 182 TOGETHER WE STAND “No man is an island . . Therefore there is no reason for anyone to be alone. One of the things that could be said about juniors was that they were a “together class. Even though there were a few “loners” the ma- jority of eleventh graders had the spirit of “Togetherness . As class projects the juniors organized and par- ticipated in Spirit Week, a car wash, ordered rings and took active parts in sports and organization. The highlight of the year was co-hosted the Jr. Sr. Prom at Fort Eustis.

Occasionally, special days are circled on our calenders. Some are marked in ad- vance in eager anticipation; others after- ward to make sure we’ll remember them. During this year, we’ve eagerly waited for Homecoming, the Prom, Class Night, and Graduation . . . and now they are memories . . . We sat at Saturday football games, went wild when we won a State Cham- pionship, basked in joy as national atten- tion came to track, proudly watched all of our athletes. . . . and now the championships, victo- ries and defeats are memories . . . Using our spare time we joined various organizations. We sponsored dances, washed cars, pushed pies, doughnuts and oranges to raise money for projects, oth- ers and trips. Others of us published pa- pers and yearbooks. Some sang, acted, or helped others. . . . and now the pep assemblies, dances, newspapers, plays and concerts are memories . . . Because of the mini courses we changed teachers every nine weeks. We took classes in political parties, gardening, Spanish, supernatural and math. We had teachers we idolized, we couldn ' t stand and that were tolerated. In some we learned, suffered, or played. . . . and now “Green Leaves ”, Othello and Rise of America, and Ms. Owens, Bas- nett, Riley and Foster and Mr. Carr, Hes- ter, Newell and Traynham are all memories. And as members of our perspective classes, we were proud to be either soph- omores, juniors or seniors. A few of us supported our classes by working vigorously. . . . and now the arrival of the rings, an- nouncements, the car washes, sponge sales are memories . . . As we are living them, we thought of our days at Phoebus uneventful. We saw the same people, went to the same classes, did the same things. But now the ordinary events seem spe- cial. We ' ll always lovingly recall soome of the people, classes, things and places we thought so unimportant. illlpJIIM Anyone who ' s had a class with Darryl Ramsey could not forget his corny remarks or Gomer impersonations. It was just an ordinary day until it snowed and school was dis- missed early and Sherman Han- cock did a dance. In amazement, students stand around while Bill Deligan relates his Martian experiences. Because of this picture with a cartoon character, Mrs. Virginia Owens and Mrs. Sylvia Thomas will always remember Kings Dominion. 200 9 Spectre Crossword Puzzle Opp. — opposite; Sp.— Spanish; F — French 19. saint (abbr.)
