The Junior year of any class is an important one. This is the year in which many events take place that will be remembered for a lifetime. The Class of ' 70 proved to be both responsible and energetic, under the sponsorship of Miss Holloway and Mr. Campbell, giving the Seniors a memora- ble prom and participating actively in all school programs. Members worked hard in a sales drive in which they grossed over $1, 300. The initiation of a class dues drive proved to be a big success. Finan- cially, it was a very good year. The excitement of selecting class rings was only exceeded by their arrival. These active, conscientious students were forever on the go and were always working toward higher goals. 52 . . .

A true appraisal of their contri- bution to school life is evidenced by their scholastic and athletic honors. Through these activities the school has absorbed them into its routine and its life.

Ninth Graders Achieve Freshman Title And Begin Participating In Extracurricular Activities. A good part of our clubs and Junior Varsity or Intermediate teams is supported by the fresh skills and talents of our Freshmen. This year they directed their young energy into channels of work. They not only made up the bulk of clubs, and participated in sports, but their showing in Pep Rallies was heart-warming. Their effort paid off when the Freshmen won first place in the Homecoming Parade for the best float. 58 Paulette Benton Thomas Beene Ann Bradshaw Pam Bunting Gary Bunting Doris Busse Deborah Carmines Sean Carrig Patty Carroll Debbie Carpenter Mike Cloonan Jennifer Creasman Terry Daniels Fimiah Diggs Johnny Dillard Benny Dryden Mike Elders Donna Evans Marie Ferguson Gary Fetter Betsy Firth Danny Firth Mike Firth Kim Firth Robin Firth Nathan Forrest Theresa Forrest Debra Freeman Lynne Freeman Nancy Freeman Helen Gaus Danny Goodson Cathy Gwaltney Debra Hall Von Himelright Tony Holder Kathy Holloway Robert Holloway Sherry Holloway Gary Hopkins Diane Hunt Ruth Hunt Donna Inge Debra Insley Susan Insley 59 The Time For Involvement Has Arrived.

Soon we ' ll be leaving those we love so dear. After we ' ve gone, we ' ll not forget you here. But now the time has come to say farewell. 133 CHEYNE ' S STUDIOS We Deem It A Pleasure and A Privlege to Have Played A Part In the Creation of This Annual Through the Medium of Our Photographs and Thus to Have Helped Perpetuate the Memories of Students Days at Poquoson High School. 494 Wyth Creek Road Phone: 868-6511 Al ' s Florist Permanent A r rangements - Gifts .

That’s why Newport News begins at the beginning with its own selective Apprentice School. High School graduates enter on the basis of academic record. But selectivity doesn’t stop there. In classroom and shop, in the drafting room and out in the yard, each man ' s special abilities are watched and developed. Some become skilled and versatile ma- chinists. Others become expert electricians or precision tool makers. Many becomesuper- visors. Some earn scholarships for advanced training at colleges and technical schools. We think the School’s a pretty inspiring place, because its end results are good men and good ships.
