There was a new principal with new methods of running the school. The vice-principal position was oc- cupied by two people, one new and one old. Everyone had to learn who to go to in order to get various jobs done, on top of this, there was also the split shift. It was disliked by most because it interfered with all school activities. There were some new faces on the faculty also, but not an extreme amount, as before. 3 ■■■■■•■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■a Despite all the changes, there was still a close-knit feeling, especi- ally during the time when all were in attendance at once. The student population grew with its usual gusto. All newcomers readily felt the friendliness and were accepted by all. Thus a new year opened with many changes in the system, but the old feeling of unity struggled through, despite the split-shift. ■f 930 Yorktown Road Poquoson, Virginia Dairy Queen At Entrance of Bethel Manor Highway 134 York County 838-3391 Ben Betty Smith Wholesale to Everyone Automobile Parts Accessories 868-9125 930 Yorktonn I 542 Wythe Creek Road Poquoson, Virginia 2361 For Those Who Care Enough 7:4S A.M. 8 LISA WATSON Alt Ajn ' poKtant plani weAe ccuovidd oat by tko.

One of the privileges Juniors received was their choice of class colors, flower, motto, and song. Being the Bicentennial class, the Juniors chose red, white, and blue for their colors, the red rose for the class flower, the lyrics from Three Dog Night ' s Going in Circles was adopted for the class motto, and Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce was chosen as the class song. 39 Tim Manning Buster Martin Judy Mathews Cindy Miller Debbie Mitchell Sandra Moore The Juniors have many opinions to give out where they feel opinions are needed. One was they felt exemptions from exams should be for Juniors and Seniors with an A or B average. Another was that there should have been more pep rallies. The student body has a lot of enthu- siasm to give for the support for our teams and they should be able to show it more often. A little resentment was obvious around P.H.S. with the sixth and seventh graders coming to the pep rallies and one Junior said, I feel it ' s unfair that when Laurie Medlin Brenda Page we were in Brenda Page, the Junior class Home- coming representa- tive, smiles with the refinement of pure gold. expression.

Bryan Forrest John Forrest Kenny Forrest The school year for the seventh graders began with a minimum of changes. They could no longer be called the babies of the school by the other students. As many of the seventh graders stated, Now we ' ve got someone to boss around. Despite the fact that they had already spent one year in the high school, there were changes which the seventh graders had to adjust to. One of these changes was the split shift, which affected all students. Coming to school earlier and getting home earlier had its ad- vantages and disadvantages.

Learning the habits and likes and dislikes of new teachers was nothing new to the seventh graders. Though courses became harder and they found they had more work to do, the seventh graders still enjoyed being older than the sixth graders.

Attitudes were expressed by all the students, but there was an overall anticipation of a change in thier future lives, marking another phase of growing up. Most fears were ouieted after the first few days of school. Teachers, having new students to cope with, found it easier to discuss their thoughts in class and realized that understanding them would be a simple task. A highlight con- sidered by most was the fact that their classes were both upstairs and down- stairs. 57 -unna Mi z ell jonnie Moore While attending elementary school, the priveleges were ot numerous, but the freedom obtained when they began high school was eagerly accepted as a deserving honor.

The most unusual pep rally was the Nifty -Fifties pep rally. The girls wore long skirts, bobby sox, and did cheers which were popular twenty years ago.

Coach radio gives Roberts with his in hand receives instructions. two-way and The nucleus of the football team this year was the thirteen Seniors. The majority of them had been under the coaches supervision for the past four years. This season was to be the peak of four years of work. It proved to be just that. Coach Olen Evans was named Coach of the Year, and seven Islanders were named to the All- District Team. This resulted only after a long season of hard work. In regular season action, quarterback Robby Clark carried the team to nine wins and no losses. Middlesex was the team to beat to win the district title. After a game that appeared to be heading towards a tie, a field goal goal by Tim Goodson won it and the title with a 17-14 Islander victory. This was the first district football title held by Poquoson since 1949. From there the team went on to Regional play-offs against Bowling Green on Mathews ' football field. Coach Evans commented before the came that the teams were evenly matched with the one making the least amount of mistakes being the winner. Unfortunately, the Islanders were not the ones with the least amount of mistakes. The season came to a abrupt halt when they lost 42-19 to Bowling Green. The team suffered greatly that night emotionally as well as phy- sically, but they will always be remembered as a winning ball club. 65 Roger Hastings , Karen Holloway and Sarah Page enjoy a cool , refreshing cun of Pepsi after a parade. If you tried to describe the band in one word, it would be WINNERS . Winning came from a few hours of concentrated practice, with the split shift eliminating all before school practices. Some of the many awards won this year were firist place in the National Tobacco Festival Parade, first place in the National Oyster Festival Parade, and in Winchester the band placed first in both parades. The band also received an award for giving the most outstanding performance in the Fireman ' s Pay’ade. This year, because of the hard work of the Band Boosters, the band got approximately ten thousand dollars of new band uniforms. The uniforms not only made the band look flashy, but also gave each band member a feeling of pride and dignity when he wore it. The banner carriers an- nounce the arrival of the Poquoson High School Band. As in years before, ther were diacipline problems in the band. It seemed that certain band members felt that rehersals were for goofing around instead of building up endur- ance and ability. When this happened, band members found themselves marching with their nose to the wal 1 . Despite discipline problems and fewer rehersal s ,the band has continued to win. If the band wins both parades in Winchester next year, they will be given a special tro- phyand be considered UNDEFEATABLE .Mr , Hines stated, The band has really developed.

The awarding winning Majorette Squad consists of Cathy Page, Marie Watkins, Karen Bryant (Head) , Tammy Edwards, and Joyce Ann Freeman. Because of their many hoirrs of practice, the Majorettes have it all together . Keep on smiling was a saying familiar to the Majorettes and the Pom-Pom Girls. During the year both groups added spar- kle and pizaz to the band. When ever the band preformed, the preformance of these two groups effected the way the band was scored. The Majorettes were a relatively young group, composed of underclassmen They used a varity of uniforms which always added to their preformance. The main award received by the squad this year was a second place cup in the Williamsburg Christmas Parade. The Pom-Pom Girls were extremely ex- periancedjWith only a few new girls on the squad. This experience helped them to place third in the Fireman ' s Parade in Winchester. Because of the many hard hours of practice ,both squads looked good. This factor will effect next years squads also. The Pom-Pom cocaptains , Karen West and Christine Johnson and Christine Johnson , admire tne trophy won hy the hand with Mr. Hines.

T OSTALGIA Nostalgia was the theme of Homecoming as people crowded into the stands to observe the festivities. First they checked out the floats as the parade circled the field. Sponsored by the Beta club, others had also contributed their time to build floats and choose representatives for the court. As the night continued the Islanders had even more cause for excitement. Several new trends were started as the Seniors attempted to conserve energy, thus pulling their float themselves. It was also the first time a boy was elected to be a rep- resentative . During halftime the band did their part in making the night a success, aided by Pom Pom girls and majorettes .

At the sight of a member of the opposite sex walking toward them with a gleam in her eye, the group would disband and everyone was on his own.

Pageant was a success. The contestants started the show off with a routine, Put On a Happy Face. Following this was the sportswear comoetition; all outfits were furnished by J.C. Penny. Many people felt that the high point of the evening was the talent competition. Variety was the high point in the com- petition with acts ranging from singing to tap dancing. The talent award went to Eileen Carmines who played the flute. Evening wear competition concluded the program. After the evening wear com- petition, Rev. East, the emcee, announ- ced the three finalists. He then asked each finalist a question and from their answers, the judges chose the winner. Second runner-up was Tammy Edwards; first runner-up was Brenda Clausen; and Miss P.H.S. was Eileen Carmines. The contestants chose Miss Congeniality and Mary Jo Keating was given the award. When the night was finally over, the air was filled with mixed emotions. Some contestants were sad that there would be no more practices, while others were happy because they had made many new friends. 76 I !

This was felt to be a great disadvantage to all. It interferred with sports, clubs and all activities, making meetings a problem to conduct. P.E.A. meet- ings had to be held at night and teacher meetings had to be held in split shifts. It was obvious that all of this led to a more impersonal feeling and a lack of cohesiveness, thus morale dropped. On top of this, the time change added more dis- pleasure, especially for the first shift teachers. JAMES 0. HINES Shenandoah Conservatory of Music B.M.E. 1970, Band 87 BRENDA JOYNER East.

With combating a excess of kudents and split-shift problems, they did their very best to help the students in every way possible. It included secretaries who kept the office running smoothly, and the janitorial staff that cleaned up each day after the students had done their best to mess it up. Library aids always had the materials neatly put away, and bus drivers had extra runs and were subject to many noisy, fighting kids. Cafeteria ladies spent time planning and preparing meals for the many students at P.H.S. With- out the devotion of all these workers, stu- dents would have notices a big change in the efficient running of the school. MRS.

There was a new principal and another new assistant principal in the high school, while the school board had its first female member in years. The biggest and most significant item that concerned all was the decision of a new high school building. This added another burden to already busy offices. Decisions concerning the new nine weeks system, book adoptions, and materials were also items of concern. Mr. White seems very pleased with the turn out for the science fair, As usual the third veek in January found many students working in the early hours of the mourning attempting to meet the science fair deadline. Hav- ing late starters as entrants did not seem to affect the success of the event. The science club, sponsors of the fair, felt that it was a job Participants enjoy a moment of relief and relaxation knowing that it is all over with. well done. Projects entered varied in ideas, design, and presenta- tion so much that the judges found it very difficult when deciding the winning en- trants.

I The Varsity basketball team had an overall good season as far as team-pull went. The number of winning games was not high, but individual game scores were considerably high. Having an inexperienced bench was a hin- derance for the strong starting line-up. The strength of the offense • was an asset for this year ' s team. Sportsmanship was excellent this year, with Wade Trump keeping spirits up dur- ing a low period. His abilities were proven by his receiving the Sportsmanship Award.

Marvin Rollins olviously enjoys a good game of iDasketball. Enjoyable Even though some games were lost, they were often close and usually exciting. Poq- uoson ended their season placing third in the district. Co-captain, Marvin Rollins, speaking for the team, felt that it was an enjoyable year. This years inexperience will definitely help next year ' s team in having more wins and a better season. Coach Fay felt that their season was not as good as it had been in in the past, but the team as a whole had a winning year for experience and pleasure. Randy Luten jumps high to get an open shot . 105 XCITEME3VT This year excitement and suspense seemed to be the right words to describe Basketball Night.

With an over- all record of 12-2, the GBBT was only beate i by First Colonial of Virginia Beach. Pat, Mary Beth, and Tanya were the Seniors on the team. They were chosen as tri -captains and were selected for this year ' s Tidewater All -district team. Mr. White said these Seniors worked hard to make the team what it was. It was made up of five Juniors, six Freshmen and one Sop- homore. Pat observes Tanya ' s dribbling technique . record Mary Beth stretches for an added point Tanya takes a right to the jaw. no Body contact is the name of the game . Mrs. White said, For sheer athletic ability, this years GBBT far sup passes all the teams we ' ve ever had. The worst thing about the season was having a record like last year ' s 16-0 hanging over our heads and having to wait a month from the end of the dis- trict tournament until the sectional tournament. Mary Beth Frishkorn seemed to express the feelings of the team when she said, We really worked hard, but it was worth it. Mr. and Mrs. White really did a fantastic job with the team also. In the ' 75- ' 76 school year the GBBT will play a full schedule in the fall and it is hoped that a JV team will be added. There is also a State Championship for the girls scheduled.

At the start of the 74-75 season things started to pick up with the edition of Winky Gaus, David Brandt, Greg Kahler, and Mike Perkins to the Varsity Wrest- ling team, although the loss of Kip Reddick was greatly felt. The matmen wrestled their way to victory with a first place and three third places at the Christmas Tournament. Towards the end of the season came a dark spot on the record, the controversary at the Regional Championship held in Brents- ville in which seven first places were lost due to a violation of a tourna- ment rule, which was protested to the Virginian High School League.

It was brought upon the students this year, because the school was so crowded. Eighth and Ninth graders came to school at quarter ' til ten and the last bell rang at twenty ' til four. Most of the Ninth graders didn ' t like it because, We get home too late. Another common reason was, By the time I get home it ' s almost dark and time to eat din- ner. But of course there was, There really isn ' t that much to do anyway during the afternoon.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was the destin- ation of this year ' s baseball team. During spring break the team spent a week in South Carolina in tournament play. The trip, as was the season, was the result of alot of hard work. Early in the school year the team began selling corsages, apples, cakes and other things to raise money for the trip. They also worked hard on the field so they could be ready for the tournament and the season. The efforts resulted in a 13-7 season. Pitcher Gerald Patesel releases the hall.

This year the split-shift also affected the schedule of the Girls ' s Softball team. Fre shman players arrived much later to practice and had to miss more schoolwork in order to partici- pate in the games. However, co- operation among the administration, students, and others resulted in success . Coached by Mrs. Potts, the girls tried to better their efforts in each game. They worked hard to improve their individual abilities, but utmost in their minds was the fact that teamwork was the key to winning. With many new faces, the team learned to overcome dif- ficulties and ended the year with a 9-1 record and were tied for the district title. Coach Potts explains their defensive moves .

Being unde- feated at all of their regular meets made it easy for the team to take first at District and fourth at Regional. Having a large gap to fill this year, left by last years departing Seniors, will make it difficult to have the strong start that has pre- vailed in the past. Robbie Clark, recognized by the team as the most valuable player, has left the largest space to hopefuly be filled by one of the stronaer underclass- man. The team was noted as having the strongest dis- tance running team in the district. The only weak point for the team being the fact there were no strong sprinters. As a whole the team felt they had an excellant year as far as get- ting out and doing their very best.

Under the supervision of two new track coaches, Mrs. Best and Mrs. White, the team learned to work together and win. With discipline and many long hours of practice the team won all of their regular season matches, and beat their opponents in the district meet. After winning the Regional title, several outstanding members of the team advanced to the State meet for more recognition. Thus, the end came on a victorious season. 140 Cindy Hall and Nina Whitaker ' race ' to the finish line.

Buoyed by the impressive performances of Gee Freeman (9-2) and Frank Jackson (8-3), the Islander netmen soundly defeated Group A rival Matthews and Group AA competition Gloucester High School, accounting for their four regular season wins. Season losses were registered against seasoned and experienced private academies and AAA high schools. As representatives of the Group A Tidewater District, the team was narrowly defeated by Cloverhill High School in the Eastern Regional Tournament. Next year, Coach Fischer is counting on the improving abilities of 9th graders Ken Forrest, William Harris, Steve Purman, Dale Self, and Jim Johnston to counterbalance the loss of senior starters Paul Evans and Blaine Tudor and to better the starters of 1974 State Group A runner up. • r ' .

It started about two or three days beforehand when the cheer- leaders began to paste posters on the GBBTs ' lockers. During that memorable pep rally the GBBT received a Raggie and a cupcake. What really boosted their morale is when the var sity cheerleaders asked if they could yell a few cheers at the rally.

The Juniors made final plans on the band, refreshments, and decorations, as the Seniors only hoped that they would be given a prom worth remembering. Many spent weeks preparing for the prom and planning what they would do afterwards. Finally it was Prom Night. After spending most of the day making sure they looked just right for that certain person and eating at that chosen place, they arrived at Stoneybrook. It was decorated with red candles, and vases of peppermint carnations. Revival proved to be a band worth dancina to, and couples took to the floor to do their thing . Several slow songs made the evening even more enjoyable. Between songs one could help himself to punch, sandwiches, or other goodies pro- vided by the Junior class. Something seems to have attracted everyone s attention. Although it was very hot, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The music was good and if you were with that certain person the night was one to be remem- bered. All too soon the night came to an end and everyone left to finish celebrating in their own way. Talking with friends made the night pass quickly. Faculty members also enjoy refreshments.

Learninq Experience Last year, with many new classes added to the curr- iculum, a journalism class was also formed. The class not only wrote and published the Inland Echo, they also learned of the history of journalism and the important part the muckrackers play in our scciety. The class was also taught the ethics of journalism and how to write interesting stories. Even though the newspaper wasn ' t published until the middle of the year, they made up for it by printing a paper every few weeks until the end of the year. We could not print at the beginning of the year because that ' s when we were lca r ' ng hew to put the paper together and how to properly and effectively write news stories.

One pro- blems was having blem was hav- ing meetings convenient to both shifts, which was al most impossi- ble. Deapite the problems, most clubs set about rai- sing funds. The most pop- ular method was raffling and almost every club had one. RAFFLE YEAR What is the Beta Club? was a question that many asked. It is an honors club for juniors and seniors, stated Hilda Freeman, The Beta Club sponsored the footballhome- coming which was consid- ered a suc- cess by all. The Art Club was very busy this year, with it it ' s annual dance.lt al- so helped by painting scenery for the Drama Club, HONOR COUNCIL One of the few clubs that didn ' t have a raffle this year was the Honor Council, This club tried to in- store hones- ty and integri- ty in the stu- dent body. They did this by enforcing the honor code. A new club at PHS this year was the FBLA. The purpose of this club was to prepare the members for the business world. The members sold candy and raffled off a ike to raise for the Soclet’ The FHA was an- other busy club i at P HS. A few of i their activites j were stuffing stockings for j children at Riverside Hos- pital, helping to sponser vocatldnal week at PHS and a mother-daughter dinner. Another extreme- ly active club at Poquoson was the FNA.They had a raffle for a schlorship , bake- sales and a car wash . a wash. They also visited the facilites at two hospitals . 1 bH For some reason the SCA didn ' t accomplish much this year. Many said It was because s some members didn ' t do anything at the meet- ings. This was the first year that the Drama Club was very active. Although they didn ' t have much money, they did have talent and e energy to make up for It. There was one major production this year, The Matchmaker. ' ' There were many long hours of rehersal and they paid off because the play was a success! Although many students dldn ' ' ' t know It, VICA was a fairly active club this year. VICA, a vocational club, taught Its members good workmanship, responsibility, and lead- ership. Some members participated In a regional trade fair where they demonstrated their abilities at their respective trades. Another new club at PHS Is the Indus trl Arts Club. JAC was really a company. It produced many things, such as leather wrls bands, belts, and wooden name plaques, to | enjoyment of the student body. I Many people wonder what students do at FCA meetings. Well, the members discusses Many people wonder what students do b FCA meetings. Well, the members discuss Christian values and their relationship the athlete. This year they had a Christ party for area children. One thing unusu about this club was that there were no officers, but there were different prog leaders every month. 160 One club which lacked participation was the FTA which only had four members. The club sponsored Basketball Nite. They chose a queen and a king. The FTA also gave a most valuable player award which was given to Wade Trump (varsity), Billy Rollins(JV) and Pat Johnson (GBBT). Fund raising and hard work dominated the club scene at PHS this year. Hopefully next year would be more fun and less work. 161 Senior V ade Triunp and Candee Rondeau demonstrate what hard work it is to run a school . 162 1 £ f 5 Jody Henley torments over a student’s problem.

Preacher Gardy helps the Seniors prepare for the burning of the Class of 1975. Once again it was time for the Seniors to do their thing. With only a few minor changes, Senior Week progressed as it had in years before. Government Day found Wade Trump as acting prin- cipal, Marvin Rollins and Pat Johnson as Assistant Principals, and Jody Henley and Debbie Guiant as guidance counselors . The Senior lounge was located in the field house instead of inside the school, which proved to be a wise decision on the part of the administration. Any student. Senior or otherwise, daring to venture near the Senior lounge would immediately find himself either drenched or sliding in the mud and water. Quite by accident, the Seniors had dis- covered that on a hot day water battles could prove very refresh! no. When it came time to burn the class, the Seniors even had their own tomb- stone, which was borrowed from a nearby cemetary. After the burning of the Class of 1975, the Senior Class retired to Shakey ' s for lunch and then to the beach or private pool parties. Keke Goodson and Steve Little say Cheers to the photographer.

It was the ending, but also the new beginning for the class of ' 75. Leaving behind the disciplined path lead in high school, the graduates would soon be entering a world full of new directions. Graduation was a sad time, for each felt the breaking of lifetime binds and the loosening of reins. But it was also a happy time, something each one had long awaited and prepared for. The air was filled with mixed emotions and deep feelings, and for many the end was attached to many things in that one night. Graduation was the end, but tomorrow was a new beginning. So it was with the class of ' 75. Mixed emotions and expressions characterize the graduates. Billie Jo Rondeau Joyously walks down the steps after receiving her diploma.

Some of the Seniors went on to college and others went to work. Some graduates found it hard to get jobs, since unemployment was up. The Junior class looked forward to becoming Seniors. Each class was happy to be able to subtract another year from their years at Poquoson High School. A few Seniors weren t so ex- cited about leaving, others were eager even though parents would say, Your high school years are the best years in your life. i SHtl Had Problems This year had its problems just as everything else.
