Homecoming Court. Homecoming week has always been an exciting time at Poquoson High. A week when the four classes battle out the fight of the floats and the win- ner of the votes! This year the float theme was ‘The Movies” and the win- ner was the Junior class with their float ‘Murder on the Islander Express’. The other side of the maddening competition was the electing of the Homecoming court. This years Home- coming queen was Rene Nita Gori es- corted by Brian Ferguson. Her court was made up of other senior representa- tives Tricia Sullivan and Chris O’Neil and Donna Jurosky and Stan Jones. Ju- nior Class representatives were Kim Gardner and D.G. Mitchell. DeDe Spivey and Charlie Fulnecky served for the Sophomore class. Rhonda Thurman and Les Drain pulled in the most votes from their Freshman class. . ee eS ze ic a $ tee Senior class representative Tricia Sullivan escorted by Chris O'Neil.

The hours of practice, the hot baths, the Ben-Gay. The constant rolling of the hills and the swaying of trees in the wind, all are part of the cross country runner. The path taken is laden with mud and sticks and the birds and crickets cheer the runner on as he trudges through the forest and along the dusty roads. His pulse quickens as he begins the final sprint. And then it is over. Totally exhausted, the runner’s legs give way, and for the first time in twenty minutes, he relaxes. 19 20 The 1978 season proved to be almost perfect for the girls J.V. basketball team. After posting a regular season record of 14 and 4, the team lost to Bru- ton for the J.V. Championship by one point. Coach Harding stated, ‘the girls did an outstanding job for being in exis- tence for only two years. The only thing that prevented a perfect season was lack of experience.” J.V.

The team was led by Kathy Keating, who was awarded: Most Valuable Player, Leading Rebounder, and Foul Shooter. Wendy Laxton was awarded Assist Leader and Sandy Miller and Donna Jurosky were designated Most Deserving. When asked his opinion of the team, Coach Dave Nelson replied, ‘’The girls did a tremendous job this year adapt- ing to AA competition. Their success was due in part to their unrelenting at- titude to improve and the leadership shown by Co-Captians Kathy Keating and Donna Jurosky.

The Gloucester game seemed to be the turning point in the season for the Is- landers for after this loss, their possibil- ity for the champicnship plays were greatly diminished.

If the move from Group A to Group AA was supposed to be tough, the football team gave no indication of it. They finished their season with a 9-1 District record and a first-round Region I Championship. Which gave them a chance to play the “‘legend’’ — South- ampton. The team was led by four Se- nior linemen Co-Captains; Joe Abney, Roy Fox, Guy Garrett, and Randy Brookshire. This years Most Valuable Player Award was given to George Yeager, and the Sprinter Trophy was awarded to Robert Turner for the second year in a row. When asked how they liked being Co-Captains, Roy Fox replied, “‘I felt really honored and was happy to be a part of such a fantastic football team.” Guy Garrett said, “It was enjoyable, we have the best coaches, and the team was great to work with.”” He concluded by saying, “I had a great time.” Wally Cristopher brings down Tabb’s ball carrier.

The 78-79 year for the Poquoson Cheerleaders was one filled with busy afternoons, a lot of hard work, and fi- nally success. The fall squad was led by captains Theresa Skirchak and Diane Limburg. Kelly Hinkle and DeDe Spivey placed in the top ten at summer camp and qualified for national competition on individual merits. The Islanders representative squad, consisting of Theresa Skirchak, Diane Limburg, Linda Sibbers, Patti Pride and Lisa Lester placed first at ASCC camp, and captured the prized spirit Star. ae BAND The participation in band can be en- joyable, exciting, adventurous and most of all a good experience for anyone who wants to be involved.

In addition to the numerous parades the band has participated in this year, they have also sold citrus fruits, pies, pens and candies.

The first play ‘“Happily Never After’ made the audience forget about their troubles for awhile, while the charac- ters worked out their own bizarre prob- lems. The second play, ‘“Which is the Way to Boston?” kept the audience in hopeful suspense as they wondered if the girl would die. The third play, ‘’Di- ary of Adam and Eve’’ was a comedy which taught the audience a little bit about human nature and the facts of life. When asked how she felt about the plays, Mrs. Dot VanDervort, the drama coach stated, ‘I was really pleased with the performances and professionalism exibited in all the productions. I am looking forward to another successful play this spring.” FALL PRODUCTION Aunt Martha (Kathy Martin) is comforted by Mary (Marie Watkins) While Uncle John (Jim McBride) reads a telegram to Chris (S.

As the new season started, Coach Day was “‘confident about winning, but he wasn’t sure how tough AA compitition was.” This years over all record was 11-1. The only loss was to Bethel by one point. Mr. Day feels that ‘’a teams biggest accomplishment is winning State, but it is getting tougher and tougher because we have won three consecutive titles, and everyone is out to stop us.” This year, 12 wrestlers went to State. This is the most any one coach has ever sent. Out of those 12, six placed and three were State Champs. Coach Day is counting more on winning next year then he was this year, because he “knows more about the District and has three returning State Champs”; Keith Roberts — 2 time State Champ, Olen Evens Jr., and Steve Green have the possibility of becoming 2 or even 3 time champs. Coach Day definently feels that ‘‘We Are the Champions”!!! Olen Evens Jr. receiving the title of number one in the 155 weight group. The honor of becoming the State Champ for the 119 weight group goes to Keith Roberts.

The whole gym was in a frenzy as an Islan- der slam dunked the ball in for a Poquoson victory. Under the leadership of Coach Dave Nelson, the team thrilled Poquoson fans with an overall team record of 9 wins and 13 losses. The high point of the season was a 20 pt. victory over our rival school-TABB-in the Christmas Tournament, led by Captain Keith Thomas, who was also leading reboun- der. George Yeager took most assists, Wally Christopher and David Geis- singer recieved most deserving players and Terry O’Donohue captured best foul shooter. Coach Nelson said “We had a young team which matured with each game. We are looking forward to next year.” So by the end of the season the fans were left with high hopes for next years Basketball Season. 123 124 Front Row) Robin McGlohn, Gloria Jones, Karen Hardenbrook, Kim Gardner, Lori Jaquith, Jodi Parrish, Leslie Firman, Patsy Keating, Lisa Lester, Patty Pride, Dede Spivey, Kelly Hinkle, (Back Row) Kelly Granberry, Linda Sibbers, Diane Limburg, Rene Green-Co-Captians, Missy Perkins, and Sandy Miller.
