‘MOJ dWH School 36 weeks days - Year. . . 18° . 1,080 hours! In a school year, students spend four 9 weeks, or 36 weeks, or 180 days, or 1,080 hours, or 3.888.000 reconds in class—give or take absences! THAT'S A LOT OF TIME! Early in the year, each person sets his own routine and soon he follows the same routin every day; going to the exact classes; completing the same types of assignments, and before he knows it, he looks at the clock and the period is over; and then one day, he looks at the calendar and the school year is finished. For fashion design, Barbara Brinson sets up a display case as part of her class assignment Patiently. Marquita Easter and Jerry Pacquin watch closely as the cafeteria lady rings up their lunch While on a field trip to the Cloiseum for vocational yob. a group stops to check their hoard of Freebies from different booths. It took a lot of practice for Kevin Ross to perfect his imitation of Coach Smith's speech patterns for the assembly Denise Tucker has the tedious |Ob of constructing her own headlines from old newspapers for English class Whrfe m the library. Mrs Carol Riley refreshes her class on the Dewey Decimal System W Time For Quiet Reflection On No matter what the day is like; No matter how hectic the routine of school becomes, students find time to think for a moment or two to get away from it all-to read, to daydream, to unwind, or just to think. Whether it’s in a noisy classroom, or a quiet mall, or a hectic playing field, or in a deserted gym, students take time to pause for a moment to themselves. While reading through Mad. Beverly Washington thinks of her assignments for Composing Humor Painting columns gives Joann Christopher a lot of time to daydream about the prom As miured Scott Parker watches his soccor team, he protects himself out there on the field with them During class. Gerald Newsome and Thomas Robmsm give an impromptu concert on their flute and violin While cleaning up after the mock election. Keith Newsome pretends he's a candidate reading his acceptance speech Alter a rigorous pep rally. Tim Becouvarakis and Barret Schmanska quietly sit amid the confetti left behind m the now silent gym Time To Make Friends . . -To Be Friends . - . Often times, friendships begin by accident—a kind word, classes shared, the same lunch periods . . - But it is the wise person who takes the time to nurture a Friendship. Because friendships are living things and people change, we have to work to make them grow with us— not wither and die. At Phoebus, many people take the time to make new friends, to stop and spend a few minutes with their buddies, or to be a friend to others ... One ol Iasi year's grads. Jimmy Hunt, returns to watch a soccer match with his pal Paul Coburn Old school chums. Adrienne Jenkins and Oscar White pose for a picture on graduation night During class.

Besides being twins, Michelle and Micheal Jones are also friends oo Time For A Break From the Routine... A Laugh A day without laughter is wasted. During the course of a day. many people take the time to break the dull routine of life. They are the clowns: the cut up in class, the wise mouth at the lunch table, the teacher with a joke. Whoever they are, they cause us to smile or often u laugh and in doing so, they ¥ cause us to forget our petty r problems for a moment or [ two. So very often, we plea, in the midst of our woes. .. 1 i send in the clowns .. Anything for a picture .

Time For Styles To Change ... Populating the World ... This year saw a barrage of new styles on the fashion scene. Young ladies began to wear dresses again-the peasant look. Large framed glasses with initials were a fad, as was frosted hair and dark red lips. Even sandals and anklets made the spring scene along with flowers in the hair. By mid year, there seemed ■ to be a fad among the female faculty members-Pregnancy. Mrs.’s MaryAnne Sutton, Connie Basnette, Mike DE Montpelier, Lydia Patton, and Virginia Owens all were maternity fashions at one time or the other during the year. At her Baby Shower, Mrs. Connie Basnette is presented with a corsage by one of the hostesses. Ms Gwen Barbour Guts' fashions brought flowers to the hair, sweaters knotted around the shoulders, sports outfits, and sandals and anklets to the feet as modeled by Denise Tucker and friends As for several years, close naturals were in style, check the closeness of the dude's fro standing behind Mrs Owens While some young ladies like Sue Orr chose the peasant look, others like Sharon Boone preferred the casualness of painters' pants. Brenda Perrin wears a pair ol the ever popular big lenses with the gold initials Before taking a leave. Mrs Sutton opens several shower gifts Time To ... Recall... Smile... Eventually, when the year is completed, we take the time to look back. Each of us has his own recollection of something-a place where we stood, a job we did well, a special victory, a friendship, a particular moment. Whatever the memory, each of us who attended Phoebus will sometime on the future stop, recall and smile as a memory flashes across our minds. For 3 long lime. Sheila McAdoo will recall the e«penences she had as Ball girl for the basketball learn It's quite sure seniors like PeeWee Jenkins will always remember their victory over the Faculty men in volleyball faculty members who took part in the leach in' will recall the fellowship shared that evening. 01 course. Prom Queen and King. Erin Malone and Kyle McSlarrow will cherish their prom night. How many students will think about this view Irom the locker area? Assemblies, good or bad. will always be remembered by the ones who saw them o' Spirit Week: Tradition? Habit? Unusual! Spirit Week during Homecoming has gotten to be a tradition or should we say a habit? It seems the same types of activities were planned for this year’s week as in the other two years ... hat day. farmer day. dress-up day and blue and gold day. The habit of the week showed in the lack of participation of the students. But then Friday came! The Teachers planned a pep rally. Thugs. Bailey. Heatwole and Mitchell hijacked the show. Next an unusual squad of female players led by Owens hit the floor and did their impressions of PHS's eleven. A small group of faculty grabbed the pom-poms and did a wild pep dance led by Carr and Jones. But the shock of the day was when the Homecoming Court was presented. Seven of the ugliest girls in the world, many of them with beards were shown to the floor ... They were Carpenter. Thompson, Holmes, Servais, Valentine. Killen, and Paul; members of the male faculty. After a close battle between Valentine and Paul, Paul was finally swept off her feet by Our Principal. After that SPIRIT was high. Gloria Wheeler and George Reid don their farmer rags for the first day of the week Whatever it was he read, crumpled poor Eric Cipnanos ears but didn't seem to phase the hats of Rich Boling or Steve Cipriano.

Valentine Even the teachers got into the spirit of hat day. Mrs. Connie dusted off her Mickey Mouse Ears Homecoming: Parade ... Panic ... Queen ... Lost Of course the culmination of the Homecoming Week was the parade and the game against Denbigh. All Friday afternoon, various clubs, classes and groups put the finishing touches on their floats. The parade route from Phoebus to the school was lined with spectators as the first place senior and other floats glided by. The band’s lively music set everyone in the mood. Even though the game was the next night, everyone was in the spirit. The long awaited moment was the announcement of the 77 Homecoming Queen ... Miss Kim Lovett. Although the evening’s events lacked any real glamour or extra special doings, the evening was impressive in a quite way. Perched atop the Senior Float. Sherri Conner stomps a Patriot.

Tension After weeks of rehearsals, sleepless nights, and butterflies in the stomach, the fall play, Wait Until Dark, was presented on November 1012. The play which hinges on a blind woman's terror as she is harassed by a group of drug criminals, kept the audiences on the edges of their chairs. Directed by Mr. Sam Heatwole and his assistant Margaret Jones all the members of the cast gave performances which made the production the hit that it was. CAST Tim Hughes ...

Basketball Homecoming was preceded by a week’s activities much like those for Spirit Week. Of all the activities. Hat and Sock Day got the most response from the students. The culmination of the week was the crowning of the queen at half time during the Denbigh game. The court was made up of Sheila Roberson and Michelle Biddle; sophomores. Valerie Hill and Evonne Clinton; juniors, and Pam Olsen and Joann Christopher seniors. Miss Alesa Frazier was crowned the 1977-78 Basketball Queen by Kenny Ward, Senior Vice President.

This winter was one of Hampton's, as well as the nation's, worst. Thrice the weatherman co operated with us-he gave us SNOW! We missed one full day because of an early morning snowfall, but we were also caught off guard at school twice and were dismissed early because of the Fluffy Stuff.' As rumor circulated-only a few knew since we have no windows-students and teachers began to peek out of the fire exits to see if it were true. When the announcement finally came, students and teachers alike scurried for home. In MINUTES, the school was deserted-except for athletes who still had practice. Between classes both Mr Toy Carpenter and Vet McNair hope it'll snow harder long after everyone else had gone.

Scientists ... FREE Some Students complain that it always seems they're paying to go to Assemblies. But Phoebus did have several free ones for the students. Both entertaining and informative, the shows ranged from stage bands to scientific displays to police officers. The Police Department initiated a new program at PHS. Students were given the chance to become policemen and were confronted by citizens portrayed by officers. The purpose was to show students how attitudes effect police situations. In mid winter, Madison University's stage band presented a show of pop music featuring Richard Giersch, a local grad. Also General Electric offered a program displaying some of their advances in the world of technology. After the skits, officers answer questions from students A stoned van driver, who is beligerant. is pulled by Angela Price Officer Cathy Ross delivers a complaint to partying apartment dwellers Poor officer Bryan Roberts is plagued with a sobbmg lady who can't find her license.

From the job of principal to the jobs of teachers, students took over Phoebus for a day. Once a year students take over the roles of all positions in the school. What could turn in to chaos was really an orderly day. Surprisingly, the young people in charge took their jobs seriously. They conducted classes, gave out lessons, while people in administrative positions kept stragglers out of the halls wrote notes and kept Phoebus running smoothly as always.

The Creature Creeps. This madcap farce had something for everyone-from slapstick routines to the worst of puns. Basically the plot centered around Donald Von Blitzen, a mad scientist, played by Mark Davis, who tries to make four men out of one. Throw in a dizzy daughter, her fiance, her roommate, a frumpy housekeeper, a deformed aide, and four ugly sisters-in-law and you have the cast for this ridiculously funny farce. The Zit;en sisters.

Singing The acts were sparse, but the talent was strong and varied. Steve Wilson and his band opened the show with a jazz number and the Carl Bentley Singers closed with a rousing spiritual .. .“I've changed.” Between these acts there were two modern dance groups, a disco number, a recitation, and two vocals. Debbie Simpkins did “You If Light Up My Life and Richard Levy sang a love song. Surprisingly, the students in the audience were appreciative and showed their approval with much applause.

Wendy Carpenter and Kim Walker loosen up their hands The show stoppers were Karen Vaughan, the Mitchell sisters. Debbie DeBreau and Daren Basnight Teachers' Talent Show: Unusual ... Poetry (?) ... Magic (?)... Jokes (?)... To say the least, the Teachers’ Talent Show was unusual. The talent ranged from a serious piano selection by Mrs. Joan Senyk to a ridiculous poem by Mr. Ralph Ransom. Between these two extremes there was a comic routine by Mr. Bert Carr, a magic act by Mr. Tom Bailey assisted by Mr. Lilly and Mr. Mitchell, a song by Mrs. Sharon Forrest and finally a vaudeville act by Ms. Vicki Turlington and Nancy Goodridge. Even though the talent was unique, the student audience enjoyed the chance to boo and hiss and laugh at their teachers. To say the least. Mr Ralph Ransom's reading ol an original poem about Toilets surprised everyone. Even though the laughs were sparse, amateur vaudevillians Ms Vicki Turlington and Nancy Goodridge continued their ethnic humor Before the show, participants Mr Robert Mitchell and Mr Bert Carr lent each other moral support.

W W £ Graduation: Little-Folks ... Diplomas... Horns ... Tears... Traditionally, Phoebus has two graduations. The first takes place in the theatre before a small group of proud parents. Just like the one in June, there are a few tears. But there are also a few who refuse to take their diplomas or quickly take theirs and make it into a make shift horn. This graduation is for the pre schoolers who attend the child care classes conducted at Phoebus daily. Under the guidance of the ladies in the Home Ec department, students work with these children. Not only does it give the students training in dealing with small children, but it serves as a care center for the kids. The highlight of the year is a student conducted graduation for all the kids who have attended the classes for the year. While Jimmy Jenkins and Oana Chandonnett Ime up for their diplomas.

A group of the little folks act out the story of the turnip that wouldn't come out of the ground Teachers’ Protest: Hundreds... Signs ... Songs... All in Vain In early May hundreds and hundreds of teachers from Hampton and other parts of the state converged on City Hall to march in protest against an inefficient budget. Marching across town to City Hall, the group which neared a thousand circled the hall and sang and shouted their disfavor. After listening to local, state, and national leaders, the group went to the chambers, where many spoke. All was in vain; Council approved the budget which necessitated the cutting of jobs, programs, but most drastically, jr. high football and Assistant coaches. On that day of initial protest, several of Phoebus' faculty joined to voice their opinions. Playfully Aggresnre. Mr Sam Heatwole brandishes his green arm band symbolizing hope.

Jr.-Sr. Prom: Tux... Formats ... Corsages ... MONEY! For weeks juniors and seniors were busily searching for dresses, renting tuxedoes, and scrounging up money. What for? The Prom. When the big night arrived in early May, young ladies in beautiful gowns and young gentlemen in colorful tuxedoes converged on the Greek Center in Newport News. Disco music filled the air as the promsters and chaperones danced to the live music, talked and laughed or gazed into each others eyes. At intermission time, Erin Malone and Kyle McSIarrow were announced as Queen and King of the evening; Karen Vaughan and David Paige were chosen the Princess and Prince for the juniors. All too soon the night ended, but the couples headed to other parties, predawn breakfasts or weekends at Nags Head. Smilmgty.

Memories ... Smiles... Tears... On June 2, the Class of 78 met in the theatre to recall their three years at Phoebus-humorously. Emceed by Michelle Jones and Eric Berlin, the large cast of seniors presented skits which facetiously looked back on their experiences. And if that weren’t enough, they jokingly looked to the future-in an old folks home and at graduation. Excitement reigned when the results of the Hall of Fame were announced, followed by the introduction of the honor and high honor graduates. As the cast gathered on stage and sang “The Greatest Love of All” the evening ended with each senior mistily recalling his own memory of Phoebus. While left Allen looks for fits funky gym shoes. Jerry Saunders complains about the smell. When she was introduced as number one m her class. Mary Jo Tillery got a standing ovation from her fellow classmates. Surprised. Oanet Robinson. Jim Revels, and Earl Roberson receive trophies from Mr. Robert Mitchell for perfect attendance. Emcees for the nostalgic look on the seniors' past were Mihelte Jones and Eric Berlin.

A projection into the future saw Danet Robinson being seduced by phat Su anne Boone Both smile and tears were present when the seniors gathered on stage to sing George Benson's. The Greatest Gift. Graduation ... Speeches ... Awards ... Diplomas... Beginnings... On June 10, at seven-thirty in the coliseum, the Senior Class of Phoebus reached one of its goals-GRADUATION ... Escorted in by the faculty, the seniors took their places and reflectively listened to their class president, Debbie Harris, make a brief farewell speech. Then two seniors selected by the top 5% of the class gave their fellow classmates and guests some thoughtful words. While Carol Wilson spoke on truth and individuality, Eric Berlin gave advice about obtaining objectivity in life. Of course, this was all prelude to the big moment when each senior walked across the stage to accept his diploma. The most significant moment in the evening came when Gerald Newsome, who is blind, received a standing ovation from his peers. With the transferral of their tassles from right to left, the goals of many had been reached-there were both tears and laughter of joy. Ironic that her last performance in the band cs for her own graduation, but Karen Evans doesn’t seem to mind All seniors, like Deniee Powell, receive their diploma and a warm hand shake from Mr Don Musselman Quietly, class speaker. Eric Berlin. Carolyn Wilson, and Debbie Harris await the moment they'll address their fellow classmates. At last the attainment of his goal-graduation for Oonald Harrell.

Goodbyes ... Tears... New Directions ... For all, Graduation is a time to reflect-on old friends, cherished moments, twelve years of school. For others it is a time for good bye. Being military dependents, some of our graduates left the next day for new assignments. Others were to leave shortly for summer school, many were to leave in the fall. As last year's grads, teachers, and families all mingled together after the ceremonies, there were many tears-of good bye, of gratitude, of happiness. But no matter what each graduates' plans: college, jobs, marriage, the service, or just bumming around, everyone realized they were now headed in a new DIRECTION. Happiness is graduation-just look at Bryan House Proudly. Tommy Hunter takes hrs place in the procession. Elated that it's over. Sharon Boone accepts the best wishes ol Mr. Roger Lilly. Probably for the last time for a long while, buddies Janet lufsey. Lisa Watts, and Pam Olsrn pose for a picture Both happy. Ginger Sherrod and her sis pose for a snapshot for a friend. Even outside, seniors like Bennet Montgomery were still receiving big hugs from well wishers. A special wish from his girlfriend is given to Ray Murdock. Student Council Association: Hughes ... Homecoming ... Fund ... June Jubilee ... “This is Tim Hughes, your SCA President—” Yes, there were times when Tim even filled in for the morning announcements, But Most of the time, aided by his fellow officers and boards, the SCA had other things to do. In the fall, Homecoming was the big event-Spirit Week, dances, assemblies, and the parade and game. It seemed that we no sooner recovered from that than Christmas was here and we were busily raising money for The Daily Press Christmas Fund. As spring approached, the activities began to slow a bit for the SCA. Class elections ran smoothly. But then it was time for our annual June Jubilee and poor Tim and the SCA had a chaotic time getting the whole thing together. Much to the credit of the SCA and his crew, the 77-78 year went smoothly. Before a morning meeting, Iim Hughes goes over his agenda The last thing before the holiday was for Donna Seiton. Mark Davis and Tim Hughes to present a check to the Oaily Press for their fund. Where there was one there was the other-the SCA inseparables-Mark Davis and Tim Hughes Intently. Debbied Phelps.

THESPIANS: Troupe 2778 produced two plays during the year; Wait Until Dark and The Creature Creeps. Other than the plays, the major accomplishments of the Thespians were the addition of Mr. John McDaniel as the technical director and the troupe’s finally pulling out of the red. THE PT EXPRESS: The newspaper was handicapped from the beginning with the inherited debt from the previous year. In order to have a paper, it had to pay for itself, the issues were small and infrequent. The staff was small. Even with the aid of a fifth period class their was still a struggle to put out a paper. But they did manage to print two issues. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: This year there 8 new members admitted to the group. The service project for the year was a tutoring service which helped those who were having some sort of difficulty with their classes. At Commencement, all graduating honor students wore white stoles with NHS and PHS mongrammed on them. The RADIO CLUB: Programs reflected school related activities and students’ views that attract an adult audience. Commentaries by students covered a variety of subjects: gun control, mock elections, terrorism, city council, and retirement, etc. The last show was recorded May 24, and included a salute to graduates, a tribute to Memorial Day, and an address by Mr. Musselman.

The yearbook added the Literary Magazine to its contents this year, giving the volume 232 pages. Mrs. Virginia Owens and first nine weeks literary research class handled that portion of the book. As always the yearbook staff dwindled rapidly-reason: staying after school every day for the entire year. Co-editors Sylvia Mann and David Diaz were joined by i dedicated sophomore Richard Rowe. Mr. Paul was aided in the picture taking department by students and exstudents, Pat Burns and Gary Sealey. Also Wes Glover did all art work for the book. Slowly the booked was finished for 78.

Smile The American Field Service enables students from foreign countries to come to America and experience our way of life. This year, Phoebus was captivated by a lovely impish girl from Hamburg, Germany-Susanne Vonder Thusen, who stayed with Julie Cawthorn and her family. Being delightfully outgoing, Susanne quickly joined into the Phantom way of life. She freely made new friends, joined organizations and volunteered her services to various groups. Susanne’s outgoing personality and beautiful smile will be remembered by all of us for a long, long time. In August. American sister. Julie Cawthorn. acquainted Susanne Yonder Thusen with the layout ol PHS. One of the many hobbies Susanne pursued was tennis. As a third language. Susanne studied french.

During the holidays, they visited elderly people and took them little tokens of remembrances. As the year drew to a close, they sponsored a The Teacher We Most Want To Hit In the Face With a Pie” contest. Out of a large choice, students voted for Mr. Tim Hester and Mr. Ralph Ransom the winners. Large crowds gathered to watch them get smeared. The Future Business Leaders Of America is composed of students in the business classes. Besides those 1 involving business skills, FBLA has performed many community and school services, leadership, and promotion activities. Through successful money raising activities, such as selling citrus fruit and mums for homecoming, the members were able to take a trip to Florida. The highlight of the VICA Club was their collecting food for needy families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks to those concerned students, several families in the area had much happier holidays. lucky winner of the Pie Contest Mr Ralph Ransom is smeared by Sherry Connors.

Although this goal was not reached, the students enjoyed working together on bake sales and a raffle in December. Varsity Club: The Varsity Club, sponsored by Coach Phil Lee, was established to support and promote the athletics at Phoebus High School. Students are eligible for the club if they have previously lettered in a varsity sport. This year, the varsity club has donated a championship plaque for all teams, and is now making plans for donating a new trophy case. Forensics: For the first time this year, the Forensics Club has really gotten off the ground. With Mr. Tim Hester as the sponsor, and the assistance of Ms. Kay Forrest and Mrs. Barbara Griffin, Phoebus went to the District and Regional tournaments. At the district tournament, Eric Berlin won first place in Extemperaneous speaking and Eric Cipriano won second place in Poetry reading; with Steven Cipiano 1 also participating in Prose reading. At the Regional tournament, Eric Berlin won first place, again, for Extemperaneous speaking. PSI: The purpose of PSI, or Positive Student Influence, is to provide teachers and counselors with a guide for helping students develop their facilitative behaviors and counseling skills to counsel with another in self-image and interpersonal relationships. Peer group counseling takes advantage of the positive influence of effecting changes in behavior and outlook young people have on each other. Teenagers are more likely to accept from peers than adults how they come across as persons, feasible alternatives in resolving difficult situations, and possible consequences of behavior.

One of the few clubs which is still a service organization, DECA raised much money for community projects. It seemed like everytime we turned around, there was someone from DECA either asking us to order a pie or shoving a piece of candy down our throats, but it was all for a cause. In mid winter, they sponsored a beautiful winter sports fashion show. They had booths in both the Hampton Fair Day and Phoebus Day. The money from these booths was donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Drive. Carefully. Barbara Brinson places the finishing touches on a fall fashion display for the students.

Many days are spent in the occupational cooking kitchen preparing tons of food to be eaten by others. The pride of Phoebus was the Blue Phantom Restaurant. Not only did it serve faculty the gourmet delights, but it got to the point where people from schools and offices were (lining in the cafe on a biweekly basis. HEROES worked diligently each week to prepare food with an international flavor. By the looks on the faces of the people who came out, it was well worth it. While Dave Meflred feeds h« face.

Recognition. Phoebus' band was good. We weren’t the only ones to think so. At the Band Festival, they were rated Superior; at the Stage Band Festival, they were rated Superior-for three years in a row. We had seven students selected for the Regional Band (the highest number from Hampton), and two were chosen for State Band. At the Stage Band Festival, David Rounion was given a certificate for soloist, while Steve Wilson was given a trophy for outstanding Soloist at the Festival. Throughout the year, the band performed at the games, marched in holiday parades, held two concerts at school, attended festivals, and performed in Buffalo, New York. They were busy and good. 1977-78 Phoebus High School Band During an assembly. Oavid Roumon. who won recognition at the Stage Band Festival, plays a trombone solo.

Full of enthusiasm and stamina, the girls not only cheered at their JV games, but they also led cheers from the stands during the regular games. At the pep assemblies, the girls not only did outstandingly well executed cheers, but they also did spirited skits. Each and every time they performed, it was well evident that the girls had put in long hours of practice. With the pace ol a gazelle.

Whether it was practicing those thrilling pyramids and tumbles, or performing at the games the cheerleaders gave it their all. Not all of this comes by accident. In the summer, the girls put in hours and hours of practice and even attended national cheerleading camps to improve themselves. Besides cheering the girls raised money.

Winning Ways At the beginning of the wrestling season, expectations were low, team morale was low and experience was nonexistent. A new coach stepped in who was used to winning and winning attitudes. This attitude soon became the way with the wrestling team. The regular season could be defined as frustrating as well as rewarding. Giving up at least 12 points a meet due to forfeits cost the young Phantoms several close matches; but there was continued improvement. Coach Mousetis demanded personal sacrifices and the 15 who - ft t were willing to meet these demands formed an inexperienced but hard working team. By the end of the season, 4 wrestlers placed in the District and three qualified for the Regionals.

However, it was disappointing, as the Phantoms lacked height and overall basketball ability to carry them into the district championship. The high point of the season was a one-point victory over a highly regarded team from Washington, D.C. in the Pembroke tournament; whereas the two losses to Hampton High School were the season's low points. Jerry Saunders did score over 1,000 points in his career at PHS; with special praise going to Mike Williams and Antjuan Wilson for their constant effort throughout the year.

Injuries This year's Soccer Team ended a successful campaign with a 12-3-1 record and second place in the District. A rash of injuries kept the Phantom hooters from the championship that they seemed to be destined for early in the season. Phoebus was the most prolific scorers-76 points. Phoebus scored the most points in a game-12 in the Bethel game. Harry Prantl, a Sophomore scored 22 points. With the returnees from this year, we should be top contenders next year.

Looked upon as preparing for their future years on the varsity team, these JV's learned well. Even the defeats were slim margined due to the outstanding team work of the basemen and pitchers.

Outstanding Individuals ... Overby... Roberson and Vaughan Even though the team itself did not fare so well the 78 season, the varsity baseball team had outstanding individuals. Winning only six of their games, the Phantoms made valiant efforts for victory. Pitcher Kevin Overby who was second in District, hurled 81 strike outs: Avery Vaughan was the third leading hitter in the District, averaging .358. Earl Roberson led District in stolen bases: 24. Making the All-District was Avery Vaughan, who was the first Phantom to do so. The All-Peninsuls had Earl Roberson and Avery Vaughan.

The 77-78 Spring Track Team completed its dual meet season with a victory over Lafayette, evening the season at three wins and three losses. This season was very gratifying because a lot of other teams thought we would be a push over since Horne and Coleman had gone. The team this year worked very hard and, with the help of Coaches Woods —— Pwnrpi and Mousetis, fooled the 'experts' with some of their performances,” says Coach Ryan. Continues Ryan, “This year's team had its stars in Bryan Roberts and Daryl Horne who provided leadership and were ably supported by their teammates. Outstanding in the field Tommy Hunter practices his vaulting Voted outstanding Fieldsman and runner for Outdoor Track.

These young men had stamina and dedication to their sport and to their team. And obviously Coach Ryan does a lot of the right things too; he was named Coach of the Year” at the Peninsula Coaches’ Banquet in May. Both Mike Brown and Ken Banks made All-District and All-Regional. Mike Brown was given the MVP Award by Mr. Ryan. Scott Wmbarger was inducted into The Hall of Fame. As Coach Ryan looks on. Mr. Tom Bailey congratulates Mike Brown on his MVP Award June 27. 1978 To Our Readers: There are several sports which are not covered in this edition of the 78 SPECTRE. The Staff is not making excuses, but there are several circumstances which caused these absences. First, there are no Junior Varsity Football pictures. After James Breeding had developed them and had left the negatives in the Graphic Arts dark room to dry. they disappeared. In their place was a scrawled note that said if we paid $20.00, we'd get the negatives. Needless to say we did not pay. We'd like to thank the person(?) who stole the negatives for denying us the job of printing the two pages for JV Football. I'm sure the young men who spent hours working on the team would like to thank you too. but in a different way. We depended on several student photographers to cover particular sports. All along they assured us their sport was being ‘'covered. But when it came time to do the Swimming. Girls Track and Golf pages, the people we had depended on to take the pictures suddenly lost them , or their pictures hadn't turned out. When you depend on others, you are at their mercy-so again we are void of certain sports. Usually the staff would try to hunt down alternate pictures, but because there are only three of us. we just did not have the man power to do this. All we can offer are the reasons for the missing pages and ask for your co operation when next year rolls around. SPECTRE STAFF 78 11 P 2 ? 41 21 O in C � a.

Hours and hours in the classroom doing the same ole things-reading, answering questions, writing themes, listening to the teacher talk? True, these facets are a part of the school routine, but there is another phase too. Students “do” in the class also. They write letters of recommendation, conduct interviews, work with kids and mannequins, make filmstrips, excel in physical development, and perform skits for the class.

These routines are a very important part of the classroom scene, too. Sometimes we never think of these routines as ordinary because of the teacher, or because we enjoy them, or because they are different. Each day we spend time writing, thinking, reading, listening of answering, but we always get something from these routines also. More trying to write a limerick.

Solitude in one’s own mind. Going into the depths. Seeking, seeking An answer to the question of all. I stand here alone Seeking the answer On a sea of green Waving around my feet The trees know the answer They whisper it to me. in the breeze The grass shows me the answer. In its lush and plentiful green. Yet I and Thee ignore the answer. Why am I here? I feel pain when a blade touches my skin Yet this is not pain, compared to the pain Of Him. His words penetrate my mind From which I bleed eternally. This is the utmost death. The death of a mind. Yet he and I pass with a smile My tears will never show. Constance Eilenfield Terminated DANDELION Once I sat on a log, Gazing upon a dandelion I could not resist its beauty. So upon a thought I picked it. For a while I sat, Watching the breeze touch its soft Feather-like seeds. I remembered a child, long ago Yet not far away, Standing in the field, Making a wish on such a flower, I remembered. As the breeze made a wish. Constance Eilenfield My eyes laughed with love. My heart was full of joy, My hands held the golden cup of wine: Now you have gone, My eyes are dim. I cannot see. My heart is of sorrow, It no longer makes me live. The glass of wine has been spilled, I no longer thirst for its taste ... I no longer exist. Constance Eilenfield Hippies' Christmas Out in the fields, No tinsel or lights, We will celebrate Christmas night. In a simple song And a simple prayer, We let God know, We really care. To you, Of the field, is a flower, To show we remember This holy hour. A candle for light, A bit of love to share, We shall see you This night so fair. 196 The Question Where do you go When where you go you're not wanted? When do you sing When your song is never heard? Where do you cry When where you cry your tears never fall? Who do you love When your love is turned away? What do you do When you've been shunned from man? Why do you laugh When your tears begin to fall? Who do you turn to When he is gone? Why are they happy When I cry? What song do I sing When there is no music? What words do I say When there is no one to hear? Where do I go When Love is not there? Why do you leave When God is here? Constance Eilenfield Lady There's a lady who walks around town with a calico bag in her hand. Diamond studs in her ears, and diamond rings on her fingers. Men crawling all around just to see her. She's a man hater, she’ll tear them apart. Her games are for diamonds Not hearts. Constance Eilenfield Space One in space, Eternal silence. Peace. Still. Calm. Quiet. One, In it’s singleness Is important. If it wasn't for one, There wouldn’t be any. If it wasn’t for one, There would be no silence. No one to hear. Darkness. Loneliness. So if it wasn't for me, It just wouldn’t be! Constance Eilenfield 198 How Can I See A Dream? You're living in an image of candy colored clouds-raining peppermint sticks. Images soon fade away. When they do-there is no coming back. When you smile up at your candy cloud, with your face all agleam, You can’t see me in reality Nor can I see your dream. So come away from your fairy tale, Face the mirror and smile, For the road isn’t really that long, Nor hard to walk. So come with me, my name is Reality. Constance Eilenfield Your Smile When you smile I see you as you once were Happy and gay ... Full of Life, Loving and living Being what I call really free Your smiles are few now. And your laughter seldom Where there were sparkles once, In your eyes are clouds of despair When I reach for you Mentally, you're not there Oh. how I long for yesterdays The way you were But that was then, this... this is now. Though your smiles are few Just being near will do. Tina Day 200 I Am A Woman I am a woman because I think so. It doesn't take man to call me a woman. To be a woman is to be strong ... To be a woman is to be smart ... I am loved by God ... I am loved by man ... I am loved by me ... Stay strong woman ... Be strong woman ... Proper. Luetta Trice Too Tired Too tired to think ... Too tired to be confused ... Damn world, too tired to love ... Oh hell! Too tired to finish this____ Luetta Trice 201 “You once told me you loved me I know, now, you lied,” She stopped, then, to remember. And remembering, she sighed. He tried to protest the charge But she stopped him with this. “I believed in you always, From the first, before the kiss. It’s scary now, looking back. When I think of how I felt, Your every word and gesture And touch could make me melt.” Her brother entered the room just then, “Hey sis, the ambulance is here.” “I’ve got to go right now I know my time is near. I didn't know 'til after That they had done it too They made me feel so guilty, So now I bid adieu. But, first. I thought you were the greatest I believed in you alone. Choking down the tears, she turned And quickly left the phone. 202 Kathi Wolfe How do I hate thee, let me count the ways. Seeking derogatory words, rather than words of praise. I hate thee for thy curly, brown hair Which I long to touch, and yet I never dare. I hate thee for thy deep, brown eyes, Because they are so superior yet are so very wise. I hate thee for thy stooping walk, The way thee stands, thy sweet way of talk. And so by my reasons of hate thy see, I do not hate, but rather, I love Thee Kathi Wolfe 203 Liberty Fresh streams flowing. To the saline sea. Vapors blowing. Rinsing over me. We are going, To set our country free. Now we all sing. Death to the king. Valleys green. Turning now to red. Our men seen. Just as though in bed. Women keen, Mourning for their dead. Now we all cry, The king must die. We are gone, But we never were, People drawn, Dreaming but for her. Kathi Wolfe Requiem To A Senator Death fell softly from the summer sky, He beckoned gently as he ambled by. I felt I had known myself as well as I could, As I remembered past thoughts and where I had stood. The friends I would join and the ones that I’d leave, And I hoped that they'd know I'd not want them to grieve. But Death beckoned so slowly I rose up to go. Leaving behind the people, that I’d come to know. Kathi Wolfe ?04 The Russian Lover I walked on the beach before the storm And thought. While the clouds, like the smoke, changed from In the cold you’d brought. My heart was like the ashes of a fire, dead and cold. And I knew. That all the things my mother had said and told, Were true. That you'd never meant any of the things you’d said. And yet. My heart within my breast, so dead. Would have bet, That you were mine. Kathi Wolfe 205 The Age Of Innocence Look towards the Dreamer, child, He’ll show you the way Through waters deep and jungles wild, To find the face of Day. What is called the time I seek, 0 sage? And tell me how to find Innocence knows no time or age What you want concerns the mind. Have you the Age of Innocence, seer? Oh, answer what I ask. What you wish, it is not near, And me? I wear a mask. Kathi Wolfe 206 The Destiny When I was a baby, not yet quite one My father made a journey, towards the setting sun. But the setting sun maimed him. And in the end. it claimed him. And where I lay beneath a tree, they mailed him home to me. I grew older, into a child of three When my oldest brother went away to sea. It was the Eastern Sea that maimed him. But the Western Sea claimed him. And, playing there beneath the tree, they mailed him home to me. And then, one year later, I had just turned four, My next brother joined and left for war. He fought until it maimed him And still until it claimed him Til sitting there beneath my tree, they mailed him home to me. u „ ...... „ . . . In the middle of the wood is a clearing, twelve feet round, Near where I live is a valley, small anu round and good. in kn m-AAi , a - . . . And in the middle of the clearing there is a mighty mound. In the middle of the valley is a small sland of wood. Six feet each way and all of three feet high Underneath that mound half my family lie. My father in the middle, a brother to each side Sealed into metal boxes the days each had died. I'm truely grown now. all of twenty one. And soon I'll seek my fortune towards the setting sun. Beyond the setting sun. and across the western sea, It seems they’re fighting a war that’s made just for me. My mother is afraid and she begs me not to go, For she believes I will return to join my father down below. Kathi Wolfe Flowers Can you hear and feel the growth, of a baby buttercup? Its roots burrow down and its flower faces up. What would a sweet pea see? If it had eyes like me? If it saw a bee. would it flee? Where would a forget-me-not be. If the not was gone from forget-me?

June Ketchum The Gift Of Thanksgiving “Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go ..The familiar tune flows through my head as we approach the Old Bridge once again. I lean out the car and listen to the sounds that are so familiar to my ears. My heart skips a beat as we turn the last bend in the road. Hopping out of the car I race up to the door. There they wait, like always, with warm smiles and glowing hearts. On the table, a meal awaits us, whether it be morning, noon, or night. As I scan the house, my eyes catch glimpses of a few sentimental objects that comfort me so. The old-fashioned Hymnal For Youth sits next to the organ along with my favorite music book. Of course, I find the kitchen stock filled with goodies that mother lets us have only at Grandmother’s house. Climbing the stairs to my bedroom. I notice my guitar anxiously awaiting the moment when I will pick it up and strum it tenderly, pouring out my feelings through its rusty strings. Stepping into my room, I find my stuffed animals grinning up at me as if to say. “Welcome back!” I crawl into my favorite bed as I say a little prayer thanking God for my grandparents and this beautiful world. For I am home, once again. June Ketchum When Monique walked into class, she found she was the first one there. Relieved, she walked over to her desk and waited for the others to come in. She always made a special effort to get to class on time because when she didn’t there were always laughs, whispers and stares along with other little annoying things. As the class began to come in, canned goods and other items clanged noisily around her. She heard voices high and loud talking of Thanksgiving, the dance, and the canned goods that were brought in, until all the voices seemed to fade into a buzzing, muffled sound as the teacher walked in. After the roll was taken, Mrs. Times began class. Monique’s mind was far away from the discussion that was taking place. She thought of how the other students would be enjoying their dinners. Plates piled high with turkey, sauces, cranberries, dressing, sweet potato and pumpkin pies, and ail the other delicious things they would have. It made a depressing feeling come over her as her mind shifted to the type of holiday her family would have. Ever since her mother had left, nothing was the same. Often her father would come home drunk and raving about the high cost of food, the cold, anything, as long as he was arguing. Monique never blamed her mother for leaving. She once wished she had taken her along. She often wrote, but never did she leave a return address or say when she would return to them. Monique dreaded Thanksgiving, for she remembered the last one with much bitter pain. All they had to eat was the food that had long ago spoiled in the almost bare refrigerator. There were no guests because Mr. Collens felt 212 they weren’t supposed to cater to the world, when he could barely afford to feed the family. He spent all the extra money on gambling and drinking. Monique prayed that this year would be different, but it seemed to be the same so far. None of the holiday foods had been bought, and there was the constant bickering between her father and sisters. Her clothes were so faded from the constant wash and wear, and were reminders of the many failures of her father. Monique was disturbed from her thoughts as she heard her name being called. Mrs. Times was pointing towards the box that the class had decorated. Her face seemed to burn like fire as the class turned around to face her. Then came the laughs and snickers. Mrs. Times told Monique to run an errand for her. As she was leaving, she heard Mrs. Times scolding the class for laughing at her. She told them they should all be thankful for the things they had. Monique, walking fast now, could still see the faces and hear laughs in her mind. At home that night, Monique cried quietly in her room. She decided that since they didn't have to go to school the next day, she would try to make the best she could of a Thanksgiving dinner with the little food they had. The next morning when Monique awoke, she would smell the strong odor of alcohol. She got out of bed to open the windows. As she opened the door, she could hardly believe what she saw before her. There on the step, sat a box covered with white tissue paper. A little tag was attached to the side of the box which read Happy Thanksgiving from Mrs. Times' class. Monique grabbed the box and ran inside. Hurriedly she tore away the paper. There was a turkey, canned goods, a sweet potato pie, and lots of other goodies. On the side of the box was a piece of construction paper which had all the names of her classmates. Monique sat down in the chair and cried. Her sisters came in, picking up the different items, each rejoicing in her own way as they danced and shouted around the room. Never did they question Monique about where the food came from. They only looked at her. puzzled over why she was crying. Later that day. Monique cooked and prepared all the food, so that the next day all would be ready to eat. Mr. Collens came home drunk and raving about them accepting food as if they were a charity case. But as she prepared for bed that night, she walked past her father's bedroom and saw him kneeling beside his bed. He was praying and giving his thanks for the food they were given. He hesitated for a moment, then as if meaning it with all of his heart, asked for the return of his wife. Slowly he raised himself from the floor and spotted Monique looking at him. For a while they stood facing each other. Then he held out his arms to Monique. Then she heard him express emotions she did not think he possessed ... he cried deeply and soundly. The next morning there was a peacefulness about the house. There was no arguing, and Mr. Collens offered to help with everything. That night as dinner was about to be served, there was a knock on the door. One that brought back a familiar memory to Monique. Half running, she opened the door, and there stood her mother. She looked more beautiful than Monique had ever remembered. After they all hugged her, she came in and sat down at the table. Monique saw that an extra plate had been set. She looked at her father and he smiled. No more needed to be said.
