REMEMBER WHEN . . . W e came to Phoebus that first day and nobody could find their classes. Then once you found your class, you sat and waited for a familiar face to enter the room. Since nobody did, you were forced to make new friends, but now you’re glad you did. Remember when you went to the first Pep Rally and sat with your new friends, confused. However, you finally figured out what a spirit stick was and did some cheers for your class. At that time, you swore that your class was going to be the best one to hit Phoebus. And then you found yourself in¬ volved. Remember when you came to school on the first day of Homecoming week. You entered the building to see cheerleaders dancing in the mall, band members playing the drums and students wearing pajamas. You and your friends decide that you too can show your spirit and for the rest of the week you laugh at each other’s costumes. Then there was the big homecoming pa¬ rade, bonfire, dance and the football game. After this week you decide that you have really grown to love Phoebus in the past months. And last Remember When the year had passed and the last day of school arrived. Remember all the phone calls you promised to make and all the times you promised to go out. We will all cherish these memories of Phoebus throughout our life. 6 Sen.iors

Stand Up and Be Heard Assassins Win Anything Goes Day By Amy King, Mary Campbell I n celebration of Law Day U.S.A. on May 3, 1982, Phoebus High School held a“Stand Up For America” day. Most of the students, including the Marine JROTC and the band marched from the school to Fort Monroe. Students wearing red, white, and blue and carrying Stand Up For Amer¬ ica signs, followed the band down Ireland Street, left on Mercury and through down¬ town Phoebus until they reached the Gaze¬ bo on Fort Monroe. There they were enter¬ tained by the band, the ensemble chorus group, and listened to speakers from the community. On June 7, 1982, Phoebus High School students and faculty got together for Al¬ most Anything Goes Day. The day started at 9:00 a.m. and went until 2:40 p.m. Orga¬ nizations set up booths that sold food, prizes, shots at teachers and teacher memo¬ rabilia. Events between classes went on dur¬ ing the day, including softball, killerball, Volkswagen car push, tug of war and the obstacle course. The Juniors (who are now Seniors) won over all. The day was spon¬ sored by the S.C.A. who made a profit of $1,000. David Conway, Patrick Ward, Paul Burton, Eric Up- gren and John West help their team pull the rope during the Tug-O-War event.
