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. William Doswell and Steve Russell wrestle in the mud. This was not a scheduled event, rather a spontaneous action by students. 8 Student Life
