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

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

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. While an exhausted David waits in the background, Veronda Cobb counts receipts. Ask Sylvia Mann if proof reading the copy is a pleasant task or a chore. Trying all possibilities, David Diaz attempts to make the sports section come out evenly as Sylvia Mann offers her assistance.
