Within these pages lies a year of priceless moments, captured especially for you. We hope that somewhere within our melody lies a special note, word, or phrase that will in years to come bring forth from your heart a chuckle, or possibly, a tear. This is the way we were and the way we wish to be remem- bered. So without further ado, allow us to introduce to you the culmination of the year’s dreams, triumphs, and realities. Welcome to the world we once shared. We now play for you a melody of memories. 4 Introduction Introduction 5 A U.S. Marine proudly displays the American flag shortly after learning that they would be leav- ing Beirut 6 World News Time magazine’s Men of the Year were Pres. Ronald Reagan and Yuri Andropov — Leaders of the two most powerful nations in the world. Songs are not the only means of toppling the charts. World events make an everlasting impact on our lives. The images of 1983-1984 were ones that will forever be a part of the memories we hold. It would be virtually impossible to list all of the year but here are a few for keepsakes. President Reagan was the man who led our country through all of our high school years. With inteari- ty and never-ending support he made decisions that effected the entire nation. One of these con- troversial decisions was the de- ployment of U.S. Marines in the war-torn country, Lebanon. Many months led to their eventual pull- out from Beirut. We said goodbye to yet another Soviet President, Yuri Andropov. His reign was brief but neverthe- less important. An unfortunate in- cident occurred in 1983 involving the shooting down of a Korean jet- liner by the Soviet Union. This was The Year In Brief a dark day for both Korea and the U.S. but has not totally severed a. hopeful alliance. 1984 brings to the U.S. another election year. The Democrats be- gan their intense campaigning this year. Campaign 84 introduced the first black candidate. This man was of course Reverend Jesse Jackson. Another first occurred in outer space. Sally Ride became the first woman from the U.S. to travel in space. One large step for womankind. The world will never forget that terrifying television movie, The Day After. This feature dramatized the effects of nuclear war in the U.S. as a Soviet missile hit a small Kansas town. This boosted a large number of nuclear war protests. So there you have it, the year in brief. Some of it was good, some of it was bad. Unfortunately that is expected in the complex world we live in. And that’s the way it was. WINTER Q@29 OLYMPICS SARAJEVO 1984 The advent of 1984 brought with it the Winter Olympic Games held in Sarajevo, Yugo- slavia. As in every Olympic Games, the U.S. achieved great success and crowned winners in many events. Some of the win- ners were: (clkws from top) Phil Mahre, Scott Hamilton, Bill Johnson, Kitty and Peter Car- ruthers, and the U.S. Olympic Team. Sarajevo will be a special place for all the athletes and the U.S. is anxiously awaiting the L.A. Games. a ed . ¥ hind i On November 22, 1983, the na- tion reflected on that dreaded day when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Though the tragedy occurred 20 years ago, Americans still remember it vividly. The great orator, his beautiful wife and children, and days of Camelot will live in our memories forever. Making their debut this year was the first American woman astro- naut, Sally Ride, and the first black presidential candidate Jes- se Jackson. World News 7 “You Can Still Rock In America’”’ Music. Yes, ladies and gentle- men, that’s what it’s all about. The music of 1984 will forever bring back those good old high school memories. The super group Van Halen knew this would be a special year for they titled their new album simply 1984. The music man of the year was, of course, Michael Jackson. His album Thriller raked in a record 8 Grammys and sold over 25 million copies. The Police’s unique sound made them a favorite, selling out concerts all over the world. Their hit single, “‘Every Breath You Take,’ was voted the song of 1983. Culture Club successfully shocked the world with not only their music but also with their bi- zarre lead singer Boy George. Many new and unusual groups highlight- ed this year in the music world. Some of these new acts included Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Motley Crue, Big Country, Cindy Lauper, Stray Cats, U2, and the list goes on. Making a dramatic comeback this year were The Prentenders, Bonnie Tyler, and the dynamic Yes. The heavy metal group, Quiet Riot made a record sale for their debut LP and gave the world a new way to “‘feel the noize!”’ A special music anniversary was celebrated in 1984. The first major British invasion occurred 20 years ago with the arrival of The Beatles in America. Paul, John, George, and Ringo were names that would send teenagers into a frenzy two decades past. Today they are looked upon as rock superstars who will be a part of music history eternally. Music is such an important aspect of life that it served as the foundation of the 1983-1984 year- book. The music of 1984 will re- mind us of a time of a carefree youthful existence. It allowed us to dream, celebrate, fantasize, and to feel. Remember, “You Can Still Rock In America!” Well, these boys definitely have the looks that kill. Above is the hard rock band Motley Criie and to the right is the infamous Boy George of the new group The Culture Club. Above: The Police are Stuart Copelanc Sting, and Andy Summers.

David Lee Roth and Edwarc Van Halen of Van Halen are still going strong are prob- ably celebrating as their hi single “Jump” went 1. Quiet Riot broke the recorc for top sells on a first LP. Songs like “‘Metal Health”’ “Let's Get Crazy” were the cause of much headbanging MUSIC TELEVISION MTV continued to spice up the music world with a continual sup- ply of video and song. This new dimension of music is here to stay! Duran Duran proved themselves masters of the video spectrum when they picked up two Grammys for their short and long form videos. Their first song we will probably all remember was eoipary Like A Wolf.” Music News 9 “THIS TOWN IS MY TOWN” Poquoson is a town for a dream- er. It is a place where dreams are not only created but also fulfilled. A dream can last forever over the rip- pling waters that never seem to end. The lonely boats on the beck- oning shores wait anxiously for the dreamers’ journey to take its course. The gentle breeze blows and the trees slowly sway as the dreamer decides upon his destiny. For as the dreamer departs another takes his place, creating a cycle of believers existing on this land. This is Poquoson and Po- quoson is my town.

This is all of the fun and the ex- citement of Homecoming week at Poquoson High School. The stu- dents have this spirit week to honor the football team’s Homecoming game. During the week students show their spirit by wearing crazy clothes, by havinga hall decorating contest, and by having a traditional pep rally on Friday. This year the days for the outfits were as follows: Monday was Sweats day, Tuesday was Hats, Buttons, and Sunglasses day, Wednesday was Twins day, Thurs- day was Dress-Up day, and Friday was School Colors day for the underclassmen, and Toga day for the seniors. The hall decorating contest was The pep rally was very rowdy! It consisted of the traditional crown- ing of the Homecoming King, Brian Bell, and the ‘‘Hatcha’’ c heer from the cheerleaders. Spirit week went over well. It proved to be a memorable week for us all. Blues Brothers live! (right) PEELED It takes all kinds! (top right); Boy Paul? (top left); Poquoson High wants you!

She was a Varsity cheerleader, class president, and Student Council member each of those four years. She was chosen to attend Girls’ State her junior year, and she was selected to be among those listed in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Darlene, who was a member of the National Honor So- ciety, also served as the secretary of the Key Club her senior year. Somewhere in between her club meetings and fund raisers, Darlene found the time to excell academi- cally as well. She received a multi- tude of awards which reflected on her academic accomplishments, and she maintained one of the highest averages in her class. As a junior Darlene was chosen as the Homecoming representative for the Junior Class, and on the even- ing of October 28, Darlene Carol Evans was crowned Homecoming Queen 1983. The ceremony took place during halftime of the Homecoming game. On hand to crown Miss Evans was Cathy Young, Home- coming Queen 1982. Darlene chose as her escort Mr. Kip Flynn, also a senior. Kip was well known throughout the school as both a thrilling actor and capti- vating speaker. He was a member of the 1983-1984 Tidewater Chal- lenge team, and he also competed in the 1983 Academic Bowl. When asked what she initially felt upon hearing the announce- ment that she was chosen Home- coming Queen, Darlene said that she was both “‘overwhelmed and surprised.”’ Being crowned Homecoming Queen was particularly special for Darlene because the honor had been previously bestowed on two women very close to her. Dar- 12 Homecoming lene’s mother, Mrs. Karen Evans, was chosen to be Queen in 1960, and Cassie Watkins, Darlene’s aunt, held the title in 1966. ‘When I found that I was in the running for Queen,”’ Darlene said, “my first thoughts were of how nice it would be to hold the title once held by my mom.” She also stated that being a Poquoson na- tive herself, she was especially pleased the 1 983 Senior Repre- sentatives were all ‘Bull Island born and Bull Island bred.” The Senior Class of 1984 is very proud of her. Fun-loving, depend- able, and understanding, Darlene Evans is indeed a very special lady. At the crowning ceremony during halftime of the Homecoming game, both Dr. Vorhauer and Cathy Young, Homecoming Queen 1982, were on hand to congratulate the new Queen, Darlene Evans. “Beautiful Girls” The 1983 Homecoming Court was made up of six very beautiful girls. Representing the Senior Class were Darlene Evans, Carol Carmines, and Leslie Ferguson. Carol, who was active in FHA and art, chose Mike Pruitt as her escort. Leslie Ferguson, a member of the Varsity Club and FBLA, was escorted by Tommy Garner. The Juniors were represented by Jill Parrish. Jill, a Varsity cheer- leader, was secretary of the Junior Class and was a member of both the Key Club and SCA. Jill chose as her escort Kevin Earley. Susan Roberts represented the Sophomore Class. Susan, who was active in track, the Key Club, cheerleading, and gymnastics, was escorted by Chad Grube. Representing the Freshmen Class was Stacie Barton. Stacie, also a Varsity cheerleader, chose Bill Ward as her escort.

Homecoming 13 “Oh! What a Night!” On the evening of October 28, the Poquoson Islanders met the Bruton Panthers in the 1983 Homecoming game. There were several goal line stands in this, one of the hardest fought games of the season. Poquoson scored a touch- down which was called back be- cause of a penalty. The teams bat- tled it out, and there was no clear winner until the final seconds ticked off of the clock. Although Poquoson did not emerge victo- rious, the team walked away hav- ing played one of their best games of the season. The football game may have been the main attraction, but there were certainly plenty of other acti- vities going on to entertain the crowd. The Islander Marching Band took the field in an array of “Gee, Mr. Smith! When are the new band uniforms coming in?” Halloween costumes. The senior footb all players and cheerleaders, as well as their parents, were rec- ognized before the game. The younger cheerleaders of Po- quoson took a few minutes to show their talents, and the “‘old- timers”’ took time out to show us how they used to cheer for the Bull Islanders. At halftime the announcement was made that the Sophomore Class had won the float competi- tion, and Darlene Evans was crowned Homecoming Queen 1983. The night of the Homecoming game had something special in it for everyone, and the special magic of the evening will not soon be forgotten. Tommy and Mr. Jordan were among those introduced before the start of the game.

Homecoming 15 “A DAYGIN THE tines A high shrill pierces the air. “‘No! It can’t be ... It is!’ @¢ %$ Ah yes, and so it begins another day in the life of the average high school teenager. Yes, we rise with sun, but we just wipe the sleep from our eyes and drudge through the routine. We turn on the radio to our favorite station and we’re ready to roll. We’re out the door, hopefully before 7:30 a.m. (by the way, school does start at 7:30) and greet the world with a happy smile (well, sometimes). What’s nice about Poquoson High School is that when we arrive in the morning we see the same faces. Who needs the shock of diversity at 7:30? — not us. A quick dose of gossip and off to first hour is the usual norm. “‘ heard you had a good weekend (scoff-scoff)!” “Did you hear about so-and-so?” “‘It can’t be Monday already.”’ Exciting, hmm? But seriously, PHS is not a bad place. The teachers and faculty are great. So we make it through the day, hang out by the drink machines until say 2:30, or we go to sporting practices, and head on home. We relax, kick up the feet, watch a soap or two, hit the books and soon enough ... a high shrill pierces the air. “‘No, it can’t be.” John Vaughan will do anything for a little attention, (far right); Martha Wiggs de- monstrates her ability ... to melt butter?

Every student says things similiar to this on bad days. However, the faculty and staff at P.H.S. remember their __ Gloria Driver good ole school days. Vultee eee BONE It was the year 1960 and the Holliston High School football team was ahead of their opponents by one point and the opposing team was about to kick a field goal. But Dave Hinds blocked the field goal and won the game for Hollis- ton High. Two years later Dave Nelson and some of his fraternity brothers took the Howitzer out of a West Virginia state park and put it in the middle of the interstate. Other cherished memories were: Mr. Woodard’s senior prom, Mrs. VanDervort’s cheering days, Miss Keech being crowned queen at her Judith Topping high school sweetheart ball, and ae sige Geen Saif poo sie Mrs. Sibbers being crowned the first Miss Poquoson in 1950. Both Mrs. Rundle and Mr. Fay remem- ber the good times at their respec- tive high school football games of Lordsburg High School and Edi- son High School. Mrs. Dryden re- collects obtaining the lead role in her high school play, Medea. At present, high school days with all the school work and hard times seem to give nothing but headaches and heartaches. But as the faculty has shown, the good times and pleasant memories will prevail in the end.

Stu- dents are not the only ones who ask this question. The never-ending stack of papers awaits grades and the ever- present red ink. The life of a teacher is far from being idle; it is one which takes much preparation, dedication, and determination. Teachers are often looked at and said to be “‘not fair,’ but their main concern is that of educating the students in the hope that it will help them in the future. They are genuinely concerned about the students and often volunteer their talents in sponsoring clubs and coaching teams.

At the beginning of the 1980-1981 school year, the faculty at Poquoson High School had already heard of the outstanding reputation of the upcoming fresh- man class. The class of 1984 has kept this outstanding reputation throughout their four years here at AG Ese Academically, the class of 1984 has excelled in several ways. Send- ing members to Governor's School was one of their first major accom- plishments. Ever since 1982 they have won the inter-school aca- demic bowl and in their junior year, they assisted in winning the Tidewater Challenge. Also as juniors, their class sent several of their classmates to Boys’ and Girls’ State. Their junior class dances were also very successful as they had the only profit-making ring dance in the history of P.H.S. The entire class managed to raise $4000 for their junior prom held at the Helle- nic Center on May 14, 1983. This prom was very successful and en- joyable and was greatly com- mended by the students and staff. Spirit has always been a well- Senior class officers: Nathan Younge, Vice President; Darlene Evans, President; Tom- my Garner, Treasurer; and Stephanie Moore, Secretary. 32 Seniors known trait associated with this class. In their junior year, their homecoming float entitled, “‘E.T. phone home, Yellow-Jackets go home,”’ won first place. This class also reintroduced the powderpuff football game to P.H.S. Even though the girls who participated lost in both their junior and senior year, this class had more fun losing than their opponents did winning. During their senior year, they took advantage of spirit week and wore togas the entire day and to the homecoming pep rally. This class is definitely one that shows spirit not only athletically but also academi- cally. Their class song, “Looks Like We Made It,” definitely sums up the successful and enjoyable four years this class has had. They are a class not only of excellence, but are one which will be remembered by the students and staff for many years to come.

Running back duo John Riggins and Wesley Hogge were forced to sit out the entire season due to in- juries received before the season began. Quarterback Rich Cannella suffered a broken ankle in the scrimmage against Norfolk Catho- lic High School and never fully re- covered. Before the first game, Head Coach Tom Fay resigned his position and Coach Tyrus Woodard took the helm. The season opened with ahome football game against York High School. Senior quarterback Chip Blankenship was taken from the game with a season-ending con- cussion. The role of starting quar- terback was filled by Jeff Silver. Poquoson’s first points were scored by Donovan Kendrick against Sussex Central in a non- conference game. After a hard fought first half ending in a 7-7 tie, the Sussex Tigers emerged victo- rious. The Islanders, being some- what dejected from the loss, never- theless traveled to meet the Bruton Panthers with a good attitude ready to play football. Freshman quarterback Tommy Bastian took over and engineered a touchdown drive that was capped by a Billy Towler fumble recovery in the end zone. Two weeks later Poquoson met York at Bailey Field. It was a highly emotional conflict as the score was run up by York. Po- quoson fought hard without con- ceding victory at any time to the Falcons. Tempers flared towards Alan Campbell (78) makes sure that Yackie Taylor does not get up quickly after a tackle by Carl Hellman (84). 86 Sports Shot: the end of the game and players from both sides were ejected. Festivity filled the air as the Island- ers took the field on the 28th of October. All week the varsity squad prepared to meet the Bru- ton Panthers. It was Homecoming Night and each of the players gave his all in an attempt to win the Homecoming game. A fifty-two yard touchdown run by Donovan Kendrick was called back because of a clipping penalty. The score at half-time was 7-0 in Bruton’s favor. After an unsuccessful drive sparked by a Scott Wiggins in- terception and another Panther touchdown, the Islanders were de- feated 14-0. Overall, this season could be classified as a learning experience for the underclassmen. The seniors, however, will not be re- membered for a glorious exit, but for a hard-fought, frustrating sea- son. The senior Islanders were Carson Rector -7-, Chip Blank- enship -9-, Brian Bell -17-, Marc Cwiklik -18-, John Vaughan -26-, Mike Dyer -32-, Brian Nagel -34-, Kenny Webb -51-, Tommy Jordan -62-, Taylor Forrest -64-, Fred Zuwallack -71-, Greg Griswold -76-, Charles Kuczaj -83-, and Carl Hellman -84-. Perhaps most importantly, the fans of Poquoson supported their team throughout the entire season.: It was very reassuring for the foot- ball team to be able to glance at the stands and see a respectable turn- out at every game.

Who slices all those oranges for the wrestlers? Who dec- orates the school with posters? Who has pep at the pep rallies? The cheerleaders, that’s who! Cheerleading at Poquoson High School consists of more than being a pretty girl who can recite cheers. It takes daily practices and dedica- tion just as any other sport does. The cheerleading squad officially begins the season in August and it ends in April. During this time, they support the Junior Varsity and Var- sity football team, Junior Varsity and Varsity girls’ and boys’ basket- ball team, and the Junior Varsity and Varsity wrestling team. Mrs. Rich and Miss Painter coached the 1983-84 cheerlead- ing squad. Throughout the year the cheerleaders engaged in a number of activities. Several mem- bers attended the cheerleading camp at O.D.U. last summer. They also set up a mini-clinic in order to 90 Sports teach the fundamentals of cheer- ing to younger students. The cheerleaders sponsored two dances for the student body; the ‘Welcome Back Dance’”’ and the “MORP” Dance. Other activities hosted by the cheerleaders were the District Cheerleading Competi- tion and bake sales. Mrs. Rich chose senior members to represent Poquoson at the State Wrestling tournament in Roanoke, Virginia. The cheerleading squad was made up of a good cross-section of the student body. It consisted of six seniors, six juniors, four sopho- mores, and four freshmen. Stephanie Moore was a two-year team captain. The other five seniors were Shawn Murphy, Dar- lene Evans, Valerie Roberts, Becky Jones, and Carmen Gaddy. When the cheerleaders were asked the main reason for their wanting to cheer, they chanted, “We Love Those Islanders. ”’ Above: Darlene and Andrea discuss their next cheer.

Sports 93 “The Stroke”’ According to Dr. Vorhauer, the 1983 golf team at Poquoson High School had its best season ever. This season was highlighted with a second-place finish in the York River District. I n addition to the York River District place, Mrs. Zak and her team boasted a third place showing in the Region | playoffs. The Islander golf team was also victorious in all three of the Hamp- ton, Gloucester, and Fort Eustis tournaments. Mrs. Carol Zak, head coach, stated that golfers “‘ .. . should ex- hibit certain qualities such as a sin- cere desire to play, a positive men- tal attitude, and determination to practice.” Each player of the 1983 golf team possessed these qual- ities, and their records demon- strated this fact. Charley Bocklett was a district gold medalist and a medalist in the Langley, Fort Eustis, and Hamp- ton tournaments. Bocklett was the only player in the district to qualify for state competition. He skillfully captured the fourth place title in the Region I Tournament and finished twenty-eighth in the state of Virginia. Another key player was senior Wallace Topping, who was also a medalist at the Gloucester Tournament. Senior Lance Wind- ley earned the position of alternate at the State Tournament. Graham Wilson was another notable Senior who fired a 78 at the Hampton Tournament and an 86 at Region- als. Troy Forrest and Paul Balthus were two more Seniors who par- ticipated in golf during the 1983 season. William Topping, a prom- ising Junior golfer, stroked a 76 at the Hampton Tournament. Two freshmen who exhibited their potential on the green were Bobby McBoom and Tim Pinner, with Tim placing in the John Yeats match. The Poquoson Golf Team suc- cessfully reached its goals in the 1983 season and plans to continue its pursuit for a district title. With his eyes glued to the ball, Troy Forrest tees off.

The Lady Islanders were led by Monica Evans to a successful 14-8 season. The Lady Islanders, affectionately known as GBBT, were 8-6 in the York River District. In non- conference action, their win over Isle of Wight was the only blemish on the Chargers’ championship record. The Lady Islanders won by a two point margin, 45-43.

This year’s team drew capacity crowds that rocked the gym with chants of ‘‘DE- EeNoeesande POQUOSON.’ Throughout the season the players provided thrilling victories for their fans. Coach Dave Nelson named six starters as opposed to the tradition- al five. “‘Each player knew his role and played it well,” stated Nelson. It was obvious that junior Jackie Stone played the role of intimida- tion, towering in the middle of the impenetrable zone defense. Junior David Lauderback was described as an exceptional offensive re- bounder who played with an in- credible amount of intensity. Se- nior Brian King’s prime functions were that of ball handler and shoot- er. Brian was known for hitting the basket in clutch situations. Nelson charactered senior Carl Hellman as the “Glue Man.” He elabo- rated, “He can do all the little things necessary to win.’’ Point guard Todd Bowden, a junior, ran the Poquoson offense with deter- mination and finesse. He emerged as the team leader with a 21 point per game average. He boosted his career point total to 879.

Jackie Stone received an honor- able mention for the All-District team. Also, David Lauderback made second team All-York River District, and Todd Bowden was named Player of the Year and sec- ond team Region I. At the annual banquet Wallace Topping and Cecil Thomas received Most Im- proved. The Honor of Sports- manship was bestowed on Carl Hellman, and the Academic Award was given to Todd Bow- den. Bowden was also named Most Valuable Team Player. The Defensive Award was given to the whole team, and rightly so! This was one of the best teams to pass through Poquoson, largely because they played as a team. Al- though they deserved more to show for their season, they had to settle for the admiration of their fans for a truly THRILLING season.

In retrospect, Coach Bob Gemmill stated, “I have never coached a team that suffered so many injuries in one season — not all of them were gymnastics related, but near- ly everyone was out for some reason.’ Despite two leading gym- nasts being out, the rest of the team pulled together and kept the score consistent. The team’s season record was an impressive 6-4, los- ing only to Tabb and Franklin. The highest dual meet score, 91.7 points, was another highlight of the gymnasts’ season. 104 Sports Senior Tami Jones will be missed for her leadership and skill.

This statement characterized the 1984 season of the PHS Baseball Team. Although their final record was 9-10, they had an opportunity to advance to the Re- gion | playoffs. In order to get to Regionals, Poquoson needed to beat Bruton in the York River Dis- trict playoff game. After jumping out in front, the Islanders lost the game 11-5 in the seventh inning. Thus the 1984 season was forced to come to a halt in the last inning of the last game. There were only three seniors in the nineteen man lineup. Kain stated that Brett Lollar was an asset at thir d base as well as on the mound his senior year. Steve Seligman worked and improved each of the years he played on the team. Steve contributed greatly to the spirit of the team and his enthusiasm was conta- gious. Tommy Jordan was singled out as being the player that will be missed the most next year. Kain elaborated, ‘““Tommy didn’t care about Tommy, he was only con- cerned with the team.” If the success of the Islander base- ball team had to be attributed to a single factor, it would most likely be that they were able to hit the ball at the right time and to the right place.

In it Tommy told how he likes the way baseball requires both mental and physical ability. Coach Kain looks to be in regional competition next year with sixteen returning players. He will depend on Jackie Stone, Todd Bowden, and Tommy Bastian as veteran pitchers. The 1985 team will be a strong York River District contender. yee yy B © en ce ew.

The team also competed in the Penin- sula and Newport News Relays. Mr. Gemmill, in his first year at Po- quoson, joined Mr. Wright, Mr. Forrest, and Mr. LaRue in coaching the Islanders. Although the team had a rough season overall, they had some bright spots at the district tourna- ment. For the girls, Terra LeVann finished first in the mile and two mile; Shannon Rundle fourth in the hurdles and high jump; Cheryl Dyer third in the 800 meters; and Julie Parker second in the 400 meters. The 400 meter relay team, consisting of Shannon, Gina White, Tami Jones, and Teresa Evans finished second in the tour- nament. The boys were repre- sented by Bill Glose, who finished fifth in the hurdles; Eddie Blank- enship, who finished sixth in the 200 meters; and Mark Williams, who finished fifth in the mile and sixth in the two mile.

The girls achieved a district record of 7-5, and after a non-conference double-header against Northampton, they im- proved their season record to 9-5. Even though the majority of the softball team was made up of underclassmen, the Islanders man- aged to produce a winning season. They were tied for first place with our two rivals, York and Tabb, un- til the final game when the Island- ers were defeated by Tabb, thus losing the position for Regionals. Monica Evans, Poquoson’s short- stop, was chosen for the first team of the all-district team. Five players were named honorable mention all-district, Emily Hankins, Lisa Busse, Evonne Bookwalter, Beth Joyner, and Tracy Meyerson. Coach Gigi Johnson reflects her optimistic attitude towards the years to come; “‘At the beginning of the season I would have never guessed that we would have a win- ning season, since I lost seven start- ers. I believe that next y ear Po- quoson High will have the team they're used to seeing — a cham- pionship team.” The softball team will be losing six Seniors this year: Tracy Meyerson, Cory Hammers- ley, Beth Joyner, Deborah Wat- kins, Heather Bachmann, and Emily Hankins. The remaining players gained experience and knowledge throughout the 1984 season. They hope to use this strength in regaining the AA State title next year. “TL can take anything that you can dish out.” 112 Sports 1984 Girls’ Softball Schedule Opponent Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Poquoson Bruton York Gloucester Bruton Tabb York Northampton Northampton Gloucester Tabb Bruton York Gloucester Tabb Monica Evans really ‘“‘gets down’’ on the field.

This year’s yearbook staff consisted of a handpicked group of students and a dedicated sponsor, all of whom were new to the year- book field.

Mrs. VanDervort and her staff were’ unknowing of the hours and hours required to put together an annual, but they diligently worked into the summer. The pressure was on for the staff was boasting a yearbook that would astound Poquoson High School. Ah yes, many a yearbook member had nightmares of draw- ing layouts, redrawing layouts, los- ing photos, losing copy, forgetting about the deadline, typewriters, and the list goes on. Nevertheless, they worked hard; but in the end they really enjoyed it. We hope everyone enjoys A Melody Of Memories because this one is for “Listen guys, | know what I’m talking about.

Ain't We Got Fun 145 October 8, 1983 was a night that will remain forever embedded in the memories of this year’s junior class. After months of anticipation, the night of their ring dance had finally arrived. The dance began at 8:00, but the work to convert the commons into a semi-formal area had begun hours earlier. The com- mons was transformed into an ele- gant area for dancing, while the lobby possessed an array of re- freshments. The principle junior sponsor, Mrs. Knight, along with Mrs. Sibbers, was on hand to over- see the occasion. Promptly at 10:30, the tradition- al Ring Ceremony commenced. The Junior class president, Belinda Carmines, had the honor of lead- ing her class through the arch and of having her ring turned the 85th time by her date, Chip Blank- enship. The remaining officers, Vice-President — JoLyn Pride, Secretary — Jill Parish, and Trea- surer — Lee Fahringer, soon fol- lowed. Sixty-three more juniors passed under the arch before the officers led a dance to the tune of “Theme from Mahogany.” For all who participated, the evening was a pure delight and will remain the highlight of their junior year. Belinda Carmines, the junior class presi- dent, was the first to have her ring turned by her date Chip Blankenship. 146 Activities “Wrapper Arou my Uour Singer” Vice-president JoLyn seems more than en- thusiastic with her date, Will Topping. © We designale this nigitl of October 8, 1983 to remain eternally in the hearts of the class of 1985 as a fond memory of their momentous high school years.

Activities 147 ‘‘There’s No Business Like Show Business ’’ On November 17th, 18th, and 19th, the drama department pre- sented the very moving play David and Lisa by James Reach. For some it was an eagerly anticipated debut; for others it was another successful role. For everyone in- volved, whether novice or veteran, the year’s first play was the result of much dedication and hard work. Mrs. Sandy Katz directed the play diligently and caringly and was in- dispensable to the success of the play. The play itself was a unique and touching drama. The setting was a school for mentally disturbed youngsters. David, performed bril- liantly by Bill Glose, was one of these kids in the school. David had a fear of being touched and was fascinated with time. Mary Cwiklik played the character of Lisa. Lisa was a student at the school who spoke in childish rhymes at times, and at other times she would not speak at all. Also at the school was an array of disturbed children who added a humorous touch to the play through their amusing antics. Dr. Alan Swinford, played by Kip Flynn, attempted to help the stu- dents with their problems. David greatly disliked the school and withdrew from everyone at first. Gradually David developed a friendship with Lisa and began to trust Alan. Lisa eventually began to improve. At the end of the play, David asked Lisa to take his hand. This was an emotional scene anda perfect finale. The actors and actresses magnif- icently and convincingly por- trayed the behavior of disturbed children. The play, though evolv- ing around a serious subject mat- ter, was enjoyable and touched the hearts of all who witnessed the per- formance. 148 Activities John (Mike LaBarre) observes his students, David and Lisa, while they do their activi- ties.

Sadie Hawkins Day gives the girls their annual chance to play the aggres- sor by asking out the guy of their choice. With the hope of catching a prospective date, the girls spend hours making a patch. If she suc- ceeds in her quest for the boy of her dreams, she now must take him to the traditional Sadie Haw- kins dance sponsored by the Ju- nior class. At the dance, the couple can get married complete with a marriage certificate. The ceremony was performed by Marryin’ Sam, this year portrayed by Mr. LaRue. For the few ardent followers of the tradition it was a real hunky-dory shindig. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun The winning patch from Henrietta (Belinda) to Chip. For the second consecutive year, the Junior class sponsored a Powder Puff football game. For the second consecutive year the Class of 1984 was defeated, but not without putting up a fight. This event gave the girls of the junior and senior classes a chance to dis- play their skills and to have a good 150 Activities time. Though the senior girls didn’t score, their performance was en- tertaining and interesting. The ju- nior class successfully demon- strated their athletic skills by out- smarting the seniors with some tricky plays. The senior class attempted a few sneaky plays such as the infamous “‘statue of liberty”’ (Above) Monica Evans receives congratula- tions from seniors. and “‘sleeper.”’ Alas, their attempts were futile. The Junior class even completed several passes and suc- cessfully executed most of their plays. Their strategy led them to an enormous victory over the senior girls. Even though the seniors lost, everyone who participated had a great time. 99 ‘We are the Champions” aur tT Poounson HIGH SCHOOL after their championship victory over War- The t | and shows off their trophy ocil.ns their wick (540-340). as well as their wonderful eating habits) Once again Poquoson High School has produced an outstand- ing team to participate in the Sec- ond Annual Tidewater Challenge. The team, which consists of Greg Griswold, Andrew Kozelka, Greg Wissinger, and Kip Flynn returned to defend the championship that was won by last year’s squad. Along with the squad are five alter- nates: Dana McMinn, Chip Blank- enship, Marc Cwiklik, Jeep Wed- ding, and Lee Fahringer. Greg Griswold, the only returning mem- ber of the team, led this year’s team through another successful season and onto a championship victory over Warwick with a score of 540-340. With the support of the school and the team’s dedi- cated and caring sponsor, Mr. Fay, the winning streak is guaranteed to continue. This year’s squad consisted of the four team members (seated), the five alternates (standing), and the team’s coach, Mr. Tom Fay who provided constant support. Although they seem to be sweating it out, the team easily beat the teachers. Activities 151 “Rockin? Around the Christmas Tree” This year’s SCA-sponsored Hol- ly Ball was a large success for all involved. The proper Christmas spirit set the mood for a night of seasonal joy. A string of lights, a lighted tree, and Santa himself (who was portrayed by Bill Glose) were all parts of the evening. Of course there was the Holly Ball Court. This year they were chosen by a popular vote in each of the classes instead of the monetary donations as in the past. Leading the court were seniors Mike Pruitt and Carol Carmines as the King and Queen. Overall, the night was regarded as a memorable evening to all who were involved.

Over 225 Poquoson High School students participated in the fair on January 7, 1983. The proj- ects ranged in all subjects from earth science to behavioral studies to complex physics. Overall the fair can be regarded as a success; espe- cially to those students lucky enough to win. Leading the pack of winners was Chip Blankenship, who received first in the senior divi- sion. Tim Pinner won first place in the junior division. Chip also took first in the show and JoLyn Pride proudly received second place. Chip Blankenship, the big winner.

This year was the first time Poquoson High School has partici- pated. Twelve senior students were selected to attend the session. Six of the students represented the delegation of Zambia and the other six represented the delegation from Spain. Catherine Gardner, Mary Ann Sincoskie, Nancy Har- rington, John Norsworthy, Heidi Nelsen, and Bobby Eastman rep- resented the Spanish delegation. The Zambian delegation was rep- resented by Cathlin Sullivan, Chip Blankenship, Greg Griswold, Dana McMinn, Mike Dyer, and Lynn Heard. The delegates spent three days debating the dilemmas of the world and listening to guest speak- ers. Hopefully the delegation’s participation will become the be- ginning of a trend for future stu- dents. tS sta% 333333 esee etgecs. ee te seees: note on on Activities 1 Miss, Ff.

Fourteen ladies, ranging in age from 14 to 18, com- peted in the annual Miss PHS con- test sponsored by the Poquoson Band Boosters. The evening began with a pa- rade of girls attired in sportswear. Stella Thompson then won the tal- ent category with her piano perfor- mance of a ballad by Chopin. After the display of evening wear, the five finalists, Kathy Kerlinger, Stel- la Thompson, Stacey Barton, Heidi Nelsen, and Sandra Whe- less, responded to questions deal- ing with a variety of subjects. The runners-up for the Miss PHS title were Stacey Barton and Sandra Wheless. Heidi Nelsen re- ceived the Miss Congeniality award and Susie McCartney was named the most photogenic. Cassie Ward anticipates the beginning of her baton routine.

Little did they know the Red Cross was waiting for them, and they were out for blood. Alas, it was only the annual blood drive spon- sored by the Key Club. This year 133 people anticipated giving blood. Eleven were deferred. The 122 pints received was a new school record which hopefully will be broken next year.

Donators pigged out after giving blood. 158 Activities “Hail to the Redskins” The numerous Redskins fans at P.H.S. were fortunate enough this year to be visited by 2 of the mem- bers from the team. The Redskins were in the Tidewater area to par- ticipate in an exhibition basketball game at the Coliseum against the Dallas Cowboys. The game was also a benefit, with the major be- nefactor being the youth of the Hampton Roads area. The pro- ceeds of the game went to the Na- tional Stay In School Program sponsored by Professional Athletes in Action. The 32 or so players from both teams moved out in groups of two and visited schools in the Hampton Roads area. In every school the message was the same — stay in school and don’t get involved with drugs. Michael Williams and Ken Coffie were the two Redskins’ players who came to Poquoson. The teammates visited several class- rooms and spoke to the students. Because of overwhelming popu- larity, the team members agreed to address the entire school. The stu- dent body enthusiastically wel- comed them and listened eagerly to their encouraging words. The students are captivated by the casual but caring talk of the players. Ken Coffie addresses the students on the importance of staying in school Activities 159 “Eame The Poquoson Middle School stage came alive with song and dance when the drama depart- ment presented the Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. After two months of intense practice, the cast and crew of sixty students were definitely ready for the per- formance. This was the first music- al the high school has presented in four years. However, under the direction of Mrs. Sandy Katz, it proved to be worth the wait. Along with directing the play, Mrs. Katz also choreographed all the dance numbers. Mrs. Joy Anderson directed the choral numbers and solos, including such songs as “The Lady is a Tramp” and “‘My Funny Valentine.”’ The storyline revolved around a group of kids, ranging in age from 13 to 19, who worked as appren- tices at the Surf and Sand Play- house. They all had a dream of putting on their long-worked-for revue. Valentine Whit, played by Charles Kucza, was the leader of the kids in their fight against the evil Fleming, performed by Mike LaBarre. The famous and stunning young actress, Jennifer, played by Colleen Sullivan and Angel Wim- mer, attempted to help Val in his plan. Yet she was always disrupted by her pushy mother who was played by Heidi Nelsen. Andrew Kozelka realistically and humor- ously portrayed the Southern play- wright, Lee Calhoun, whose play, The Deep North, was being per- formed at the playhouse.

Though the kids ran into some complications, they finally succeeded in obtaining an option on their revue from Steve Edwards. Love was found for many characters by the end of the play. Valentine was reunited with his love Susie, played by Barbara Milton and Angela Douglas. The humorous relationship between Terry and Gus, played by Jo Jo Katz and Chip Tiffany, blossomed into a happy romance. Jennifer discovered her love for Steve Ed- wards, the movie producer, played by Tom Deans. The play gave many students the chance to display their musical and acting abilities.

In celebration of this event, Mr. Tom Fay, head of the foreign language department, and other teachers organized a variety of activities. Posters of school menus were printed in either Spanish or French. Special foreign language messages were sent to In the middle of February and in late March, the Atlantic Fleet Navy Show Band came to PHS. Due toa black out, the band performed solely for the PHS band students on February 14, 1984. Then on March 20, 1984, the entire student body was fortunate to have the band return.

This special occasion was not Gradua- tion but the annual Awards Assem- bly. The basic purpose of this as- sembly was to recognize the many individuals who have excelled in school and community activities. The Exchange Club was the first to announce the recipient of the Stu- dent of the Year, Catherine Gard- ner, who was chosen from among the six Students of the Month: Carol Andre, Teresa Andre, Dar- lene Evans, Catherine Gardner, Tommy Jordan, Carl Hellman. Carol Andre was next presented the DAR award for her dependabil- ity, service and patriotism within the school system. Kenny Webb, another honored student, received the Fletcher Gray Award. This is presented each year to the student whose overall attitude has taken a dramatic change for the better. The final award involves the Order of the Bullpen which is an award given to a teacher, student, or pa- tron, who deserves recognition for their spirit, moral, and leadership within the school. This year’s re- cipients were Darlene Evans, Catherine Gardner, Mrs. Dryden, Mrs. Belknap, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Hendricks. Many other awards were presented from science to drama but far too numerous to mention. Congratulations to all the honored students, teachers, and patrons! Mrs. Sibbers honored the SCA Pres., Colleen. An emotional row of seniors marched in. Activities 163 “Conight’s the Night” An Enchanted Garden was the theme for this year’s prom. Indeed it was an enchanted evening for everyone. Flower-strewn arch- ways and gazebos made for a romantic setting for the couples. The Juniors, with the help of their Prom Chairman, Lisa Sibbers, cre- ated a wonderful prom scene which will be forever remembered. This year’s Prom King and Queen were Charlie Bocklett and Inga Sifuentes. After being crowned, the King and Queen led the Senior class in dance to the senior song, ‘“‘Looks Like We Made It.” This year’s prom was held at the Greek Hellenic Center. The band, Slapwater, was greatly enjoyed as they played popular tunes. Some of the girls even joined them on stage in a song. The traditional breakfast was held for the Seniors after the prom. The seniors and their dates partici- pated in yet another dance at the breakfast. A delicious buffet was prepared for the students by both teachers and parents. The break- fast lasted until 3:00 AM or some- where thereabouts when the wea- ry Seniors wandered on home for a long awaited sleep. This year’s prom was most enjoyable and the Seniors would like to take this time to thank the Juniors for making it so special and memorable. Even the teachers enjoyed an evening in the enchanted garden.

Activities 165 ‘Limelight The stage was set, the spotlight flickered on, and the curtains opened to reveal the Insley family as they perused the morning paper the Daily Mess. This was how it began. After weeks of preparation the class of ’84 presented one of the finest, most entertaining senior skits that ever graced the forum stage. With juniors, seniors, and faculty present, the performers en- tered into the production, which consisted of several separately de- signed ‘‘mini-skits’’ held together by the reading of the newspaper. The crowd received the perfor- mance well, cheering and laughing throughout the skit. Marc Cwiklik and Bill Glose started things off on a comical note. Posing as anchormen broad- casting the latest breaking stories on the world scene, the two were somewhat surprised when, as they were poking fun at the Poquoson Police Department, Chief of Police Jack White, armed with loaded bananas, made a cameo appear- ance. A group of seniors presented a telephone conversation satirizing gossip; Ning Nelson, Troy Forrest, and Greg Salmon gave a thrilling display of break-dancing; our an- swer to Judas Priest “‘jammed”’ to the sounds of ‘“‘The Hellion” and “Electric Eye.” The show closed with a slide presentation accompa- nied by Colleen Sullivan’s playing the class song “‘Looks Like We Made It.’’ After all was said and done, the senior class had put ona great show which, as the class it- self, will not soon be forgotten.

How could it not be with the ““Class of 84” as the quest list. The water may have been cold but the music blaring in the picnic area was de- finitely hot. The picnic area was also the site of the long awaited event. Food! Fried chicken, chips, potato salad, cole slaw, and soft drinks were on hand for the hungary seniors. The afternoon can be consi- dered enjoyable by all with the ex- ception of those who got thrown in the pool with their clothes on. The seniors were given one last time together and it was greatly appreci- ated. Tommy Jordan feels the effects of his over- indulgence at the picnic (upper left); Buddy finds Chips’s new ‘‘wet look”’ rather appeal- ing (above); Tammy Jones and Martha Wiggs — “Just a Swingin’ ”’ (middle left); Steve explains to Dr. Vorhauer the logistics of diving. (left) Senior Picnic 169 Graduation Day. The day they had been striving for had finally arrived. In a progression of ma- roon and white, the class of 1984 proudly marched onto the field. Anticipation filled the air as the ceremony commenced. This year three valedictorians were honored: Carol Andre, Teresa Andre, and Chrissie Keating. The Andres addressed the class together stres- sing individuality. Chrissie’s speech centered around a poem by Robert Frost. The speaker this year was Dr. Donald P. Hearth, Director of NASA. For the first time students this year were awarded Presidential Academic Fitness awards. Scholarships recipients were also announced. Finally the seniors crossed the stage to receive their diplomas. Darlene Evans led her class in changing their tassles. Now they were graduates. Yes, the class of 1984 was leaving, but their memories were not. Through the halls of PHS their laughter and their tears will remain. It looks like they made it 170 Graduation en f) ‘be at Tommy Jordan proudly receives the Joe Thomas award from the 1983 recipient, Clair Booker. excited seniors have a little tr paecuaton practice with the si Class president, Darlene Evans, welcomes the guests to the ceremony. Carol and Teresa Andre stand together in delivering their valedictory speeches. Chrissie Keating, co-valedictorian, addres- ses the graduating class of 1984. Seniors display mixed emotion as Dr. V. announces that they are going to run through it one more time. Dr. Vorhauer and Dr. Vernall lead the pro- cession of distinguished speakers. The moment may be temporary, but the memory is forever. Participating in the graduation ceremony were the faculty members — teachers, instructors, and cherished friends.
