Last goodbyes are especially difficult. This yearbook is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Allen McCabe. He died on July 24, 1984, of a heart attack. He was 43 years old. His death affected people from many aspects of Poquoson. This was evident in the extraordinary Naval days were an important part of his past. number of people who attended his funeral. They ranged from his personal friends to the many stu- dents he taught. Mr. McCabe graduated from Old Dominion University and af- ter a tour in the Navy, he came to Poquoson High School. He taught industrial arts for Mr. McCabe outside his home. He coached the soccer team in his after school hours. eight years. He also coached the soccer team for five years. In his last season, the team took first place honors in the York River District Tournament. His involve- ment in both the school and per- sonal lives of the students make this goodbye the hardest of all. Goodbye, Mr. McCabe. The first day was a real SCRAB- BLE. To the freshmen, it was like being turned loose in CANDY- LAND. For the sophomores, it was time to play RED LIGHT-GREEN LIGHT and MOTHER MAY I have a Car was a common question. The juniors started their year already looking forward to playing TWISTER when their rings came. For the seniors it looked like a MONOPOLY on the school was in order. The teachers’ common sense told them it would be a TRIVIAL PURSUIT to seek PERFECTION on the first day with this group. The sports seasons were out- standing, according to school his- tory, and all were SORRY to see them end. The fans went BONK- ERS when the football team broke a losing streak for Homecoming. The girls’ basketball team had no TROUBLE becoming first in dis- trict play. There was little RISK in- volved in the bet on the wrestlers. They placed first in district, sec- tion, region, and state. The boys’ Shall We Play a Game? varsity basketball team played a HIDE AND SEEK game in their QUEST for a district champion- ship. The earned their numero UNO berth. CONNECT 4 of our sports and it’s a winning year. During exams, students were in JEOPARDY. For the seniors, it re- quired great CONCENTRATION to do well as Nags Head was just around the corner. But the time of WORRY passed in three days and so did the teachers’ biggest HEADACHE. Though there were many victo- ries, there were also many personal losses. The deaths of fellow class- mates brought the student body closer together. The support of friends and teachers helped. The CLUE to it all was that this school was a Class OPERATION. Jennifer Singleton (31) outjumped Clarissa Dudley (24) of Gloucester to set an agres- sive pace. As the band played, Chuck Phillips (75), Billy Towler (43), and Tony Arcovitch (72) entered the field for the Homecoming game. = Mr. Wright disguises himself aswindiaha Jones on costume day, during.

Mrs. Zak teaches David Page and Russell Watkins their lesson for the day. The faculty and administration consists of everyone from the custodians to the principal. They may become a friend or a mentor, but each staff member has the same goal: to prepare the students for the future. FACULTY c 2 NEW FACES The teaching staff has a few new faces. Sometimes new people have a hard time fitting in, but not this group of super people. They have gotten involved in many acti- vities. Mrs. Napier, the new guidance counselor, was a guidance coun- selor and English teacher in Suf- folk. She received her Bachelor's degree from Virginia Tech. and she received her Master’s degree from Radford University. Mrs. Napier feels there is a good atmo- Mr. Hoskins is the new indust- rial arts teacher. He left the New- port News School System after working there for twelve years. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Georgia Southern, and he re- ceived his Master’s degree from Old Dominion University. Mrs. Junghans, a graduate of Christopher Newport College, stepped in for Mrs. Jones last year, so this is her first full year of teaching geography. When asked about teaching, all that she could sphere here say was, “‘l and the love it, Anas “I find Poquoson students to be eats iM aes y friendly, intelligent, and they have pen sare drive to do the best that they can.” ; siastic. Mrs. Jun- Mrs. Lit- ghans tle, another new face, is teaching for the first time. She is a graduate of the University of Georgia. Mrs. Little is teaching chorus and she loves it. She said, ‘‘l find Po- quoson students to be friendly, in- telligent, and they have drive to do the best that they can.”’ Kecoughtan lost a good man when Mr. VanDervort came to Po- quoson, but he feels that it has been a good transition. Mr. Van- Dervort is a friend, coach, and ad- visor to his students. He coaches girls’ junior varsity basketball, assists with boys’ varsity basket- ball, and he is the newspaper sponsor. Mr. VanDervort gradu- ated from Nyack College. No one can say that Mrs. Quin- lan has not had a lot of experi- ence. She has taught at Hampton City Elementary School, Saint Mary’s Academy, the Norfolk School System, and Peninsula Catholic. She is a graduate of Vir- ginia Wesleyan and she has taken additional courses at Old Domin- ion University. Mrs. Quinlan is very enthusiastic about teaching English and she enjoys working with the students and faculty. (left to right) Myrna Champ, Arlene West, Opal Carr, Sarah Moore, Virginia Rollins, Betty Ragsdale, and Paulette Evans, of our cafeteria staff, strut their stuff after cooking lunch. 6 Faculty keeps very busy by sponsoring the girls’ softball team and the cheer- leaders. Mr. John Mousetis, who went to Franklin and Marshall College, is a new science teacher. He has also taught in New York and in Pennsylvania. Mr. Mousetis can be found coaching the junior var- sity wrestling team or helping the track team during his spare time. These new faces are really an asset to our school with their talent and bright personalities. Mr. Nelson, Dr. Vorhauer, and Mr. Woodard discuss what is on the menu for the day. Dr. J.

From October 2-5, the halls and classrooms were filled with the Visiting Committee for the Southern Association. The com- mittee came from the eastern part of Virginia selected by the State Education Department. Schools and colleges of the Southern Asso- ciation must go through a ten year program in which certain stan- dards must be met to stay a mem- ber. We now have five years to bring up our standards to theirs before the next evaluation.

They were astounded that many unsupervised students stayed after school causing no trouble. They felt the attitudes of the faculty and administration were very positive. The learning and discipline within the class- room impressed them consider- ably. The library was also found to be a great asset to our school. With these periodical visits, the school will continue to improve for the benefit of the students and faculty. Mrs. VanDervort tries to grab a quick nap between the lockers.

Faculty 9 Even Teachers Play Everyone has something they like to do in their spare time. Even teachers? Yes, even teachers are real people and enjoy different hobbies. Some of them enjoy physical activities. Aerobics and racketball keep Miss Painter in shape. Mrs. Keech can be found not only on land working in her workshop or golfing, but out on the water fishing. Mrs. Wynn also enjoys the water; she likes boat- ing. In addition, Joan finds plea- sure in shopping and refinishing furniture. Ms. Becky Quinn also enjoys refinishing furniture and “anything having to do with the water.’’ During winter months, however, her time is limited to walking her dog, Dufus.

Tennis, riding horses, and sailing are Mrs. Leavitt’s ‘‘cup of tea.’ However, some teachers like the indoor scene as Mrs. VanDervort is involved in the Community Theatre. After a long week of work con- trolling rowdy students, some teachers have more leisurely in- terests. Mrs. Gaines walks to her ‘‘nlace of communion,’’ her peaceful waterfront property. Mrs. Sproull relaxes with a book and by caring for her son. Teachers are people, too! Mrs. Lepi, Mrs. Napier, Mrs. Semeyn, Mrs. DuBose, Mrs. Burr, and Mrs. Knight feast and gossip during their lunch period. Mrs. Mary Beth Leavitt — Chemistry Adv.

Faculty 11 The “Eighteen Hour Bell” | When the bell rings at 1:54, most students heave a sigh of relief to know that another day of school is over. This, however, is not the case for the teachers. That shrill ringing signals the start of a new bell — the“eighteen hour bell.”’ ‘“‘What is an ‘‘eighteen hour bell’,’” you ask. It is the bell that teachers hate most. Much of the time after this “eighteen hour bell’’ is spent trudging through the piles and piles of papers that have to be graded. Grading papers is a very time consuming task. This task is made even harder by the students who are anxiously, and some- times impatiently, awaiting their grades. After the papers are graded, lesson plans have to be made. Most teachers teach more than one subject, therefore, they have to make up more than one set of lesson plans. Mr. VanDervort reads Rebecca with his sophomore English class. Dr. Vorhauer and Mrs. VanDervort discuss the afternoon’s upcoming Homecoming activities. Mrs. Joyce Nelson — English 9 11 Miss Karen Painter — Distributive Ed.

Mrs. Lisa Quinlin — English 10 12 Faculty Teachers spend another portion of this bell giving students the ex- tra help they may need. Many teachers often lose this valuable time due to their partici- pation in extra-curricular activi- ties such as sponsoring clubs, coaching, and other school- related activities. Some teachers, however, do not feel that this time is lost. Mr. Wright says, “Coaching track and cross coun- try, along with being involved in other school-related events, is what keeps me in teaching.’’ Mr. Spain makes Mr. Woodard laugh at one of his mistakes during their sixth hour planning period. Mrs. Katz shows her cast of Up the Down Staircase how to put expression in their performance. Mr. Tommy Quinn — Alg. l ll Trig.

We finally made it. We managed to get through the most important part of high school — our Senior year. It seems like only yesterday we were coming in as freshmen fright- ened but eager to begin. Now we are graduating and ready to begin a whole new life. Some of us will be going to college and others going to work. But regardless of which step we take, we are leav- ing PHS and some of the best memories of our lives. Good luck! SENIORS FERS Fiat Hae cae sepia SiR BIR ge CA tg EN em te ts 17 “Your senior year is the best year of your life. Enjoy it!’’ We heard this from parents, teachers, and older brothers and sisters for years. It had to be a joke! Between applying to college, trying to get better SAT scores, and maintain- ing grades and class rank, who had tim e for fun? But finally, as college accep- tances came in, SATS were finished, and semester grades were submitted, we began to re- lax. School work and grades took a back seat as spring and that well- known disease, senioritis, hit. We began putting all of our efforts into preparing for senior skit and grad- uation. Our class officers worked hard to make our senior year one to remember. President Jo Lyn Pride, Vice-President Shannon Rundle, Secretary Monica Evans, and Treasurer Eleanor Armistead worked with the senior sponsors to organize successful fundraisers and activities. 18 Seniors Those who led us. Senior class officers: Treasurer, Eleanor Armistead; Secretary, Monica Evans; Vice President, Shannon Rundle; President, JoLyn Pride. Thoughts of Homecoming brought back fond memories for many seniors. Although our float did not win first place, we enjoyed the time we spent together making it. And who can forget the pep rally? After we cha-chaed into the gym wearing our togas, it was announced that the seniors had won both the hall decorating con- test and the spirit stick. Though these activities were greatly enjoyed, the seniors could not help looking toward the fu- ture. What would we be doing next year? Going to college? Working? And when would we all be together again? Our high school days had come to an end. But the memories of PHS and the class of 1985 will always be in our hearts. he a? eee sa Hoge 9:3 z a.

The juniors made the best of this year by really getting involved. Some of Po- quoson’s best athletes are juniors which is fortunate because that means they will be around again. The juniors are also involved in many clubs and they sponsored the ring dance which was a great success. They had a booth at the Poquoson Seafood Festival and sold candy bars to make money. The juniors use the money to- wards making the prom memo- rable for themselves and the seniors.

Sid will be long remembered by those who coached and taught him. Don Ward, Sid’s J.V. coach for two years, in remembering Sid, said, ‘‘l believe that the high school has lost a better-than- average athlete, who played all positions well.”” ““Sid had leader- ship qualities and he always wanted to be the best at what he did,’’ said Dr. Vorhauer. It’s hard to say enough about him because he touched so many people in so many ways. One thing can be said easily. Sid was a boy with a lot of personality and all who knew him will miss him. Brian Christopher, one of Sid’s teammates and friends, said, j ‘There was never a dull moment j with him.

Despite the victories of the wrestling team, there is a lingering sense of loss. Jimmy Ragsdale was ranked Number 4 in his weight class by the Daily Press. ‘‘He hada lot of spunk. He was real tena- cious on the mat and always trying to do better,’’ Coach Mike Mouse- tis said. When a varsity wrestler in the 98 — pound class could not make his weight for a match against Tabb, Jimmy took his place and wona pin. ‘‘He filled in and won the match. It’s unusual for someone in junior varsity to do as well as he did,’’ Coach Mouse- tis said. Jimmy was also involved in the Poquoson Fire Depart- ment’s Apprentice program which trains teenagers in firefighting pro- cedures and equipment. Barbara Rich, one of Jimmy’s teachers, described him as ‘‘A very bright youngster with a lot of potential.”’ Sarah Insley Eric Jackson Denise Jessup Scott Johnson Michael Jones William Jordon Tonya Juhl Brian Kavanagh Tracy Kennedy Julie Kiraly Charlotte Kirkpatrick Malanie Kirsch Richard Kist Shirley Krieger Mike Lacey Scott Laske Michael Leatherman Christy Lee Connie Little Lillian Lucas We have suffered a big loss.

The cross country team, coached by Bernie Wright, sprang into action for a successful year. Bruton, Tabb, York, and Gloucester were on schedule for the team’s season meets. The team finished its sea- son with a 2-2 record. The team also made many appearances at invitational meets around the state, including UVA, William and Mary, Hampton Roads Academy, and Powhatan High School. The invitational meet with Hampton Roads Academy proved to be very exciting. The varsity squad placed third in a field of eight, and the JV squad placed first. Qualification for Regionals came when the team placed third at the district meet, ending a four year streak of finishing last. At re- gionals, Poquoson’s top runner, Mark Williams, finished eleventh and qualified for state competi- tion. Mike Bergamasco finished seventeenth, Chris de Melo nineteenth, Sean Bradberry forty- third, and Scott Hahn fiftieth. Due to a shortage of runners, the girls were unable to compete as a team, but the girls’ race proved to be very competitive. Stephanie Olson placed fourteenth, qual- ifying for state, Debra Herbener forty-second, and Cheryl Dyer forty-seventh. Mark Williams and Stephanie Olson represented the school at state competition. Although nei- ther runner placed extremely high in the competition, reaching the state level was a notable accom- plishment in itself. Coach Wright stated that the season was a most enjoyable one.

These Accomplish- ments enabled the Lady Islanders to monopolize the York River district and capture the district champion- ship with an 11-1 record. Overall the team finished with a 19-3 record. The success of the team is due, in part, to the team’s close- ness. Concentra- tion during games and sup- port for each other molded the girls into a close- knit group that functioned as a finely-tuned machine. York, a team that Poquoson beat twice during the season, kept the Islanders from a regular season perfect record when they edged Poquoson 52-50 in the final dis- trict contest for both teams. The girls had one final chance to beat York as the Falcons turned over the ball with five seconds left. But York triple-teamed Monica Evans, and she was unable to get off a shot. Only the team’s record was affected by the loss, since the Lady Islanders had already clinched the district title. The Lady Islanders were forced to begin the district tournament without Monica Evans after she sustained an ankle injury while preparing for the tournament. Gloucester, losers to the Lady Islanders three times during the season, upended Poquoson 43-31 in the semi-finals. The team showed no ill effects of the loss as they roared past the Manchester Lancers 60-48 in the 80 In Round | of Regional Tournament play, the team relaxes on route to a 60 to 48 victory over Manchester. first round of the regional com- petition. The return of Monica Evans and an inspired team effort provided the Lady Islanders a quick lead which the team refused to relinquish. Seniors Monica Evans and Jennifer Singleton paced the scoring attack with 15 and 14 points respectively. Juniors Evonne Bookwalter and Vann Brown com- bined for 21 of the other total points. The end of the season came at the hands of the Feredinekoein Bronkettes in a regional semi-final contest. The quickstarting Franklin team gained an upper hand early in the contest but had to repel repeated comeback attempts by the visiting Lady Is- landers. The All York River District Girls’ Basketball selections announced guard Monica Evans as District Player of the Year. Jennifer Single- ton and Vann Brown were selected for the All District Second Team with Evonne Bookwalter re- ceiving an honorable mention. Coach Dave Nelson was selected as Coach of the Year. The Lady Islander awards were also presented at the annual ban- quet. The selections included Monica Evans as ‘‘Most Valuable Team Player;’’ Jammie Moran as “Best Defensive Player;’’ Jennifer Singleton and Evonne Bookwalter as ‘‘Most Improved;”’ Paula Vlam- ings as ‘‘Best Sportswoman;”’ and Laura Sperling for ‘‘Academic Ex- cellence.”’ Monica Evans explodes for a lay-up while Jammie Moran prepares for a possible re- bound. Even though Gloucester played a strong defensive game, Monica Evans was able to rise above the Dukes and score a game total of 16 points. Paula Vlamings and Monica Evans wait anxiously as Laura Sperling attempts to make two points against Gloucester. Record 19 Wins 3 Losses POQ Opp 48 Norfolk Coll, 45 68 Norfolk Academy 54 61 Ports.

The season opener was played it Bailey Field, home of the ‘ork Falcons. Sophomore Tommy sastian Began the season as start- ng quarterback, but Jay Hicks, Iso a sophomore quarterback, re- eived much playing time. Both eams started out slowly, but by he end of the third quarter York cored a touchdown and took the ead 7-0. The Islanders were un- ble to get anything started on its lext few possessions and gave the all up. The Falcons scored again na field goal and won the game 0-0.

The boys ained 103 yards on 33 carries. he team also threatened to score wice. The Islanders first points of the eason were scored against Sussex “entral when Jay Hicks came off he bench to throw a 45 yard ouchdown to Chad Grube.

On North- ampton’s first play of the game, the Yellowjackets scored a 45 yard touchdown and lead 7-0. Ex- citement mounted as Danny John- son and Kerry Williams combined for two touchdowns. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter, and the game ended in a 14-14 tie. This tie broke a 23 game losing streak for the Islanders. The Islanders ended its season Friday night, November 9, with a 14-7 loss to Gloucester. The Bulls gave the district champions a run for their money but still couldn’t pull out a victory. The overall record of 0-9-1 is a dismal one, but still many of the players stated that they had played their best games in three years. “We have knocked heads with the best,’’ said team captain Chuck Phillips. Two close losses to Tabb and York, and a tie with Northampton were highlights for the season. Coaches John Kain, Tyrus Woodard, and Ed Spain look on in anticipation of a touch- down in hopes of overcoming a ten point deficit against York. 83 Sophomore Tommy Bastian cuts the York Falcons’ lead with six points on a quarter- back sneak.

Confidence didn’t just come from within or from other team mem- bers, it emanated from a special group of girls who stayed behind their teams and supported them no matter what the score was at the end of the game. The students didn’t realize how much practice and preparation it took to be a cheerleader, a posi- tion more complicated than it appeared. The cheerleaders’ job began early in the summer. The squad attended two camps, NCA and ECA, to brush up on its new skills and learn new cheers. The squad also held a clinic for little league cheerleaders in the last week of July. While most students slept late “The cheerleaders were very enthusiastic and work- ed together as a closeknit squad.”’ — Lisa Sibbers captain and lazed in the sun the last few weeks of summer, the cheerlead- ers were hard at work. They prac- ticed from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday through Friday. The cheerleaders began cheer- ing for varsity and JV football, and continued through girls’ basket- ball, boys’ basketball, wrestling, and even soccer. And with the job of cheering on their teams came the task of filling the school with spirit. As practice proved to make perfect, the cheerleaders exempli- fied the peak of school spirit. They cheered their teams to victory, but when the Islanders did not prevail, they were winners anyway. “Go, Bulls, go,’’ yells Anje Phelps at the Islanders’ football game. 86 Cheerleading inte Rae Michelle Moore shows her spirit as she cheers for the girls’ basketball team.

It was the third confrontation between the Bull Islanders and their most competitive rival, the York Falcons, with the district championship at stake. The first half consisted of back-to-back scoring by both teams, but the Islanders went into the locker room with a five point advantage. The action began to erupt in the second half with what seemed to be a York comeback. The Bulls amassed several seven point leads, only to see it diminished to one point by York. However, a basket by Dave Lauderback put the Islanders up by three points at the third quarter mark. The game’s leading scorer, Jackie Stone, added 10 of his 25 points in the final eight minutes to broaden the lead. Todd Bowden’s 17 points and Todd Sperling’s 10 also contributed to the 60-46 vic- tory.

The Islanders fell behind, 54-49, with 40 seconds left but drew to within a point. After a missed foul shot by Bruns- wick with six seconds left, Todd Bowden got off a 25 foot shot but missed by a spin around the rim. The district’s five coaches voted Todd Bowden and Jackie Stone All-District first team. Dave Lauderback and Todd Sperling re- ceived an honorable mention. At the annual awards banquet, Todd Bowden was chosen ‘‘Most Valuable Player,’’ Jackie Stone was voted ‘‘Most Improved,” Todd Sperling and Charlie Flynn tied for ‘‘Best Defensive Player,”’ Dave Lauderback received the ‘‘Coach’s Award,’’ and Mike Musiol was awarded the ‘‘Aca- demic Award.” Jackie Stone destroys all hope for the York opponent with a block.

The Ultimate Win The Poquoson High School wrestling program has been rec- ognized as truly dominant over the past 10 years. The program began with Coach Day and is now led by head Coach Mike Mousetis. The Islanders finished second in the State Tournament in the 1983- 1984 season, where both Mike McCormick and Casey Graham captured state titles. But this sea- son the team was determined to better its second place state title of the previous year. The Islander team started the season on January 5 with a crushing victory over Brut on, 72- 14. The next match was against Gloucester, and again the team delivered a devastating blow, winning 55-17. All season the team continued to overpower its Opponents with matches that were not even close. The Islander triumph over Tabb, 48-14, clinched the district cham- pionship for the team. The wrestlers also dominated sectionals: On the first day of the tournament, the team accumu- lated 196 points. But for the Islander wrestlers, the big test was state and the ‘My third state title was great, but the team title made it better.’’ — Mike McCormick archrival Osbourne. The wrestlers who were attending state com- petition felt they were in top shape. And indeed they were! With a record-setting perfor- mance, the Islanders brought home the prestigious state AA ti- tle. The Islanders scored 185 points and set a state tournament record when they beat second place Osbourne by 23 points. Nine Islander wrestlers finished fifth place or better, along with 3 individual state champions: Mike McCormick (132 pounds), Casey Graham (126 pounds), and Scott Brown (155 pounds). There were also two runners-up, Matt Husson (167) and Jimmy Miskell (98). Adam Hankins and John Morris both finished fifth, earning crucial points for the team. For Mike McCormick and Casey Graham, the title was their third. But for Coach Mike Mousetis, the title was his first. The wrestling team had brought the title back to Po- quoson. As state champion Mike McCormick said, ‘‘We finally got one of those plaques on the wres- tling room for Coach Mousetis.’’ Wrestling 93 Wrestling “We had a super sea- son.

Mike spent his remaining career at PHS, capturing 3 state titles. Casey Graham appears to be one of the best potential wrestlers in the state of Virginia. He remained virtually unchallenged at the 126 weight class this season. Along with Mike McCormick, Casey has also won three state cham- pionships for Poquoson. Scott Brown did something this year which he has dreamed about for along time. He returned froma runner-up finish at 145 last year, and captured a state champion- ship.

Two of the team’s losses were dealt by the Tabb Tigers and the other by the York Falcons. The second meet against Tabb, Poquoson’s top rival, was very tense. Both teams knew it had the talent to win the meet. Poquoson stayed with Tabb through the first part of the meet, but Tabb slipped away near the end and stole the win by half a point, winning 101 to 100.5. Although the loss was a hard pill to swallow, there was a bright spot in the the clouds. The team had broken the school’s old record and now held the new rec- ord of 100.5 total team points. The district tournament proved to be a disappointment for the girls. The team only pulled off 98.7 points, giving it a third place finish. ‘Having performed so well in a district where any of the top teams could win State, coming in third was indicative of the team’s potential,’’ said Coach Gemmiill.

Unfortu- nately the baseball team usually ended up with the short end of the stick. Out of eighteen season games, the Islanders won only three. Coach John Kain noted, ‘‘No team beat us, we beat ourselves.”’ One of the team’s victories came when they played a New York team, Sacred Heart. Another victory came when the team came from three runs behind to hand Gloucester its first district defeat with a 6-4 score. After the Dukes scored four runs in the first three innings, it would have been easy for the Islanders to start folding. But instead, the Bulls put together an exciting five run fifth inning while Jackie Stone came in as a relief pitcher and held Gloucester scoreless to pick up the victory. All season the team was plagued by defensive errors and a lack of timely hitting. The boys Mike Musiol races for third base.

The team could only manage two hits as the Tiger pitcher gathered 16 strike-outs. Todd Bowden lead the team in batting averages with a .343 aver- age. Jackie Stone and Mike Musiol helped their batting averages when they each hit a home run. Jackie also had two triples. The season wasn’t in the shad- ows all the time; many of the losses were close. Five games were lost by three or fewer runs. Elliott Duty said a bright spot in the season was “beating Gloucester twice.’’ Another memorable game was the one when the team played against Northampton on the ninth of April in the snow! Finally the long and grueling season came to an end. The team had experienced a more than dis- appointing season.

This season was not one of vic- tories for the rookie coach Denise Junghans. The girls’ team’s district record was a disappointing 4-12, with an overall record of 5-14. The name of the game this sea- son was that of gaining experience and knowledge of the sport. Eight out of the sixteen players were newcomers to the team and to fast pitch softball. Only four of the girls were returning starters: 3 juniors, third baseman Evonne Bookwalter, first baseman Vann Brown, second baseman Natalie Whitlow, and one senior, short- stop Monica Evans. Monica Evans, the only senior on the team, was the captain for the team. Coach Junghans found herself without an experienced pitcher. Never having a previous opportu- nity to fast pitch, freshman Donna Herbener took over the mound. Even though frustrating at times, Donna pitched every game, every inning, without a relief. Even under this tremendous pressure, Donna had a great season and also accomplished a no-hitter against the favored team to win the district championship, York High School. Although the season was one of despair, there were times of ex- citement and victory. One excit- “It was tough being the only senior on the team. Every- one looks up to you, and you have to set an example.” — Monica Evans ing game occurred against Tabb. The Lady Bulls were up against district leading Tabb. The Tigers had almost clinched another vic- tory when they were leading 13-6 as the Islanders came up for their last bat. Most teams would have called it quits, but not the Island- ers. Whitlow, Evans, Estes got on base by walks. Michelle Moore found herself on base by the cour- tesy of a Tiger error, and one run scored. Jennifer Boyer walked, and another run was scored. Hope plummetted as the next two Island- ers struck out. But then Bookwal- ter and Brown got on base with a walk and error respectively. Nata- lie Whitlow then rallied with a double on which she came around and scored. The Islanders came out the victor 14 to 13. At the completion of the season, Monica Evans and Evonne Book- walter were named to the district's first team. Tana Estes was named to the second team, and Vann Brown and Natalie Whitlow re- ceived honorable mentions. Although this was only freshman Donna Herbener’s first year on the team, she proved to be a top notch pitcher.

Both the girls and boys track team had a fairly successful sea- son. The boys compiled a 1-3 record and finished fourth in the district. The team was coached by Mr. Wright with help from Mr. Mousetis. The team captains in- cluded Mark Williams and Mike Burgamasco. Although the season seemed a little below par, there were a few bright spots, one of which was the team’s victory over Gloucester. The team also had a few outstand- ing individual performances. The best performance was accom- plished by Mark Williams who broke the school record in the mile and 2 mile. Mark also finished third in the 2 mile and fourth in the mile at districts. Other outstanding runners in- cluded Adam Hankins, Brett Hug- gett, Tom Deans and Mike Burga- masco. Racing For A Win The season ended with four in- dividuals competing in regional competition. Charlie Flynn, Mike Burgamasco, Mark Williams, and Chuck Tookey all competed at re- gionals with only Mark Williams Paula Viamings expertly clears the hurdle as she races for the finish line. advancing to state competition. Mark finished with an impressive eleventh place in the 2 mile at state Competition. The girls had a very strong sea- son in the district finishing with 2 wins and 2 losses. Mr. Forrest served as the main coach for the girls. The team was lead by senior Paula Viamings. Paula advanced to regional competition in the 300 meter hurdles but was disqualified by a false start. Paula was still able to advance to state as her district time matched the state qualifying time. Paula captured an outstand- ing fifth place at state. The highlight of the season occurred when the girls set a school record in the mile relay. The girls also finished second in a very competitive meet in Lancas- ter. Other top performances for the team were made by Debra Herbener, Cheryl Dyer, Stephanie Olsen, Kim Mayo and Cathy McInerney.

Their words proved correct as both the boys’ and girls’ teams improved past records and district standings. The boys’ team had its first un- defeated season in school history finishing 8-0 in district play and 11-0 overall. Les Abbott placed second in district singles, while he and his partner, Glenn Moore, finished first in district doubles. The boys’ team went on to re- gional competition and defeated Franklin 8-1 as a team. Les Abbott and Glenn Moore defeated the Peanut District champion doubles team from Franklin, which was quite an accomplishment for them. The boys’ team lost to Mills Godwin, the three time defending state champion, in the region fi- nals to place second overall. “Conditioning was the differ- ence. We practiced three to four hours a day,’’ said Coach Spain. The boys’ team demonstrated its top condition by its many top indi- vidual performances. The indi- vidual standouts were Brad Sal- mon (9-2), Jeff Martin (9-2), and Mike Bumgarner (9-1). The dou- bles record of Ed Wornom and Mike Bumgarner was a perfect 10- 0. The girls’ team, under the third year coaching of Brenda Win- stead, finished 4-4 in district play. The standouts for individual play were Kim Musiol (6-2) and Diana Weers (5-3). The doubles team of Colleen Mclnerney and Natalie Szupel finished the season with a 6-2 record losing once to Gloucester and once to York.

Tennis 109 The Best Yet The Islander soccer team came through the season with an im- pressive 11-4 record. This record was the best record an Islander soccer team had ever compiled. The team remained undefeated through its first six games which was a new school record. The team’s first loss came in a tough match against York when the team lost by one goal. The fi- nal score was a close 2-1. Tabb also proved to be a tough opponent throughout the season for the Islanders. The first match between Tabb and Poquoson resulted in a Tabb victory with a final score of 6-1. The second match between Tabb and Poquoson, though, re- sulted with an Islander victory. The match was close and exciting and the Bulls won by one goal. The team’s second straight loss to York by a 4-2 score eliminated Poquoson as a contender for the district championship. While the team was disappointed at this prospect, it still felt it had accom- plished a successful season. At the end of the season, the leading scorer was Jeff Hill who had 19 goals and 7 assists. Many honors were bestowed on the team as three players were named to the All-District Team, including Jeff Hill, Joel Rogers, and John Leach. The Second All-District team included Chris Soova, and honorable mentions went to Todd Curtis, Jeep Wedding, Louis McAdory, and Mike Vaughan. As the team’s record and many honors indicated, Coach Bob Gemmill was truly successful with the soccer team. The combination of skillful players and Gemmill’s coaching produced a very prosperous and exciting season for the Islander soccer team and fans.

With all of the activities available, what one word described it all? It wasn’t a synonym for ‘boring.’ Poquoson never was. 113 Toss Becomes a Turning Game A feeling of anxiety lingered in the commons as the juniors set up for the Ring Dance. Much time and effort had gone into the plan- ning of this dance and the night had finally arrived. At 8:30 p.m. the couples began to arrive. The cold and windy night was one of the unforgettable memories. At 10:45 p.m. the ring ceremony began. The setting was one of golden glitter dispersed about a white bridge which lead to an archway. Crepe paper and other decorations of burgundy and gold were intertwined throughout the commons. D.}. Elegant Ring Dance scrolls were presented to the juniors as they exited the archway. 114 Tino was there to entertain. A spe- cial dance was dedicated to the junior class officers. Mrs. Knight, the class sponsor, was on hand to solve unforeseen problems and to give her support. Tara Smith, pres- ident of the junior class, lead all the juniors during the ring cere- mony. The dance was concluded at 11:30 and the night of October 13, 1984 became a golden memory. Juniors patiently wait as the last few cou- ples participate in the ring ceremony.

The cheerleaders planned for a spirit week to psyche the Bulls. The activ- ities began on October 22 with Tacky Day. Students wore clothes that didn’t match and hairdos that were Outrageous. Tuesday was Twins Day and everyone seemed like they were related. Wednes- day was Nerd vs. Cool Day and students wore jeans that were two inches too high and carried Snoopy lunch boxes. Thursday was Costume Day with anything from aclown outfit to Boy George. Friday finally came and students were fired up for the big game. The student body wore maroon and gold that day to show their support for the football team. This year’s hall contest was a big success. All the classes partici- LYSE pated to show their spirit for the football team. The freshmen class was inexperienced but showed real enthusiasm by their colorful posters. The sophomores came out and showed their spirit by us- ing lively colored balloons. The juniors showed their excitement by using purple rain drops and covering their hall with maroon and gold crepe paper. The experi- enced seniors showed an awe- some display of skill and art by their golden musical notes and colorful streamers that crossed the wide ceiling. Jeep Wedding and Tatiana Abernathy show their spirit by wearing crazy cos- tumes. Robb Hill, Susan Roberts, Tom Saunders, Jill Parrish, Clay Marcum, Missy Cather, Tom Deans, and Monica Evans give Po- quoson High School a world class nerd act. Floats Homecoming Week once again brought intense competition be- tween the classes in the realm of float-making. For the first time, all the floats were constructed in the Same place. The new athletic building served as headquarters for the event. Each class had three hours per night, Monday through Thursday, in order to complete its float. The theme of the floats was songs. Each float was judged on originality, construction, and rela- tion to theme. The freshmen class chose ‘‘Tor- ture’ as its theme. On the float was a bull charging at a Yellow Jacket. The Yellow Jacket was hanging between the goal posts. The sophomores’ theme was “Burning Down the Hive.” A bee- hive was the center of the float. From this protruded the legs of a Northampton football player. “Tie a Yellow Jacket Around the Old Gold Post’’ was the juniors’ float theme. On the float was a Poquoson football player who was holding on to a ribbon. This was tied around a goal post and a Yellow Jacket. The seniors, after much delib- eration, finally decided on “Wipe Out” as their theme. The float contained aYellow Jacket on a surfboard. He was ‘‘wiping out’’ on the crest of two waves. A sandy beach with palm trees added an authentic touch. The float competition winner was announced at the game on Friday night. The freshmen won first prize and the seniors finished second. Thus ended the evenings filled with chicken wire, napkins and spray paint for another year. The senior float, “Wipe Out,’”’ was one of a kind. It depicted a Yellow Jacket being wiped out by two waves. This float won second prize. “Burning Down the Hive,” the sophomore float, shows a Poquoson football player burning the hive of the Yellow Jackets. The football player on the junior float plans to ‘‘Tie a Yellow Jacket Around the Old Goal Post.” The freshmen float proved the Bulls would “Torture’’ the Yellow Jackets. This float actually tortured the others by capturing first prize. abe Kerry Williams and Chad Grube cheer and demonstrate that ‘‘there’s a way to say All Right.’’ Scott Brown and Chuck Phillips tell of the football team’s plans for victory. Seniors are led into the pep rally by Charlie Flynn. Mo pom pom squad says ‘‘Good Luck Bulls.”’ Billy Towler is crowned King for the day. It was Friday, November twen- ty-sixth, the day of the Homecom- ing game and pep rally. The school was filled with excitement and anticipation. Each class secretly tried to conjure up a way to win the spirit stick, which is TRADITIONALLY won by the seniors. The classes were called down to their gym sections around 1:05. As the underclassmen were seat- ed, the seniors anxiously awaited their grand entrance. Finally the time came and the seniors (in their togas) filed into the gym to the tune of ‘‘Louie, Louie.’’ As they zig-zagged across the floor, the whole gym was overflowing with enthusiasm from each class. The cheerleaders got things started with the fight song and a pom pom routine. Next some ju- nior football players got into the spirit of things by doing a few cheers and stunts. The coaches and captains of the cross-country, girls’ basketball, and the football team each spoke on their season’s progress so far. Jeff Silver was named football’s honorary captain for the week. The tradition of ‘‘Homecoming King for a Day” involved all of the senior football players. After the field was eliminated, Billy Towler Spirit Explodes at Pep Rally was officially crowned to the “Hatcha”’ cheer. After many more cheers and much more noise, Mr. David Hinds took the microphone. He said this had definitely been the most spirited pep rally since he had been here.

Darlene Evans bestowed the honor on the new queen. The cloudless sky was flooded with dazzling lights. The cheers and screams from the large crowd were the beginning of a memorable evening. Lisa was not the first in her fami- ly to receive a royal title. Her mother, Jeannie Ward Sibbers, was crowned “Miss May Queen” in 1950. Also, Lisa’s aunt, Anna Marie Ward McLean, was the 1964 Homecoming Queen of Po- quoson High School. When asked about this, Lisa said, ‘It really meant a lot to me to have the same honor as my mother and aunt.” Lisa was a magnificant example of leadership and overwhelming spirit. She was the vice-president of the S.C.A. and captain of the varsity cheerleading squad. In her junior year she was chosen to attend Girl’s State in Farmville. Lisa was very active in the Key Club and on the Yearbook staff. She was a Homecoming represen- tative in both her freshman and sophomore years. This past sum- mer she had the opportunity to travel ona half-paid scholarship to France. Lisa was selected to be in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. When asked to express her thoughts on Homecoming, Lisa said, ‘‘| was excited all week and enjoyed every minute of the Homecoming activities. When | was announced Homecoming Queen | was shaking.’ Lisa chose Todd Bowden as her escort. When Todd asked how he felt to be escorting her for the third time, he said, ‘This was the most exciting time that we have shared together.’’ Todd is a member of both the S.C.A. and the N.H.S. He played varsity basketball for three years and baseball for four years. This was the third year that Lisa Sibbers was escorted by her boyfriend Todd Bowden. a a a I ea ne During the Homecoming parade, Lisa rode in Ray Freeman’s Camaro.

Dur- ing homeroom the students nominated girls from their classes to represent them. These were narrowed down to five girls in the senior class and to two in each of the other classes. Three senior finalists and one representative from each class were later chosen. The entire school voted for the queen from among the seniors. Lisa Sibbers was crowned the queen after a tough race against Belinda Car- mines and Jill Parrish. Each of the girls were honored to represent her class. The 1983 Homecoming Queen, Darlene Evans, came home from UVA to partici- pate in the parade and in the crowning of the new queen. 121 Homecoming: The Game of Strategy n aura of hopeful suspense filled the stadium as the players chanted their warm-up drills. It was the Island- ers’ 1985 Homecoming Game and the team was looking to upset the Northampton Yellow Jackets. Having nearly defeated Tabb the week before, they were psyched and ready to take on this challenge. The action overwhelmed the crowd early in the game. In the first few minutes, senior run- ningback Danny Johnson carried the ball 38 yards. Two plays later, as a Climax to the rising anticipa- tion, Johnson made one more big run to score the first touchdown of Ae i the game.” Coaches Spain, Woodard, and Kain watch hopefully as their boys pull together. ho the action over- whelmed the crowd early in the game. The spirit exploded in the stands as the band played the fight song. The kick was good and the fans cheered wildly. In the sec- ond quarter, the Jackets scored on a 75-yard pass play. The score at the half was 7-7. The excitement of the game overflowed into the half- time activi- ties. First the floats which had been cre- ated by the classes were displayed. The freshmen float was announced as the winner. Entitled “Torture,” it showed a bull ready to charge at a Yellow Jacket tied to a goal post. The next half-time activity was Senior runningback Danny Johnson scored the first touchdown of the game with two big runs in the first quarter. The mighty Islanders were ready for the big Homecoming game with Northampton. mistake. the presentation of the Homecom- ing Court. The band lined up and performed a rippling salute as the attendants and their dates walked down the 50-yard line. Hundreds of shutters clicked as the court formed a line near the front of the field. Finally, the moment arrived and Darlene Evans, the 1983 Homecoming Queen, crowned the new queen, Lisa Sibbers. The ecstatic fans roared with pleasure as Lisa graciously accepted her bouquet of red roses. The court barely made it off the field before the determined Po- quoson team charged in to warm up for the second half. The third quarter was very exciting. Northampton scored seven more points but Poquoson did the same. Juniors Mike Musiol and Scott Wiggins reach for the ball in one of the most spectacular plays of the game Again in the spotlight, Johnson shows that a Homecoming hero can make a Tony Arcovitch runs to help Chuck Phillips in a tackle against a Northampton player. Junior Kerry Williams scored for the Islanders on a three-yard touchdown run. A Northampton punt was blocked by Scott Brown. During the fourth quarter, Danny Johnson set up a field goal with his 30-yard run but no score was made. In the final minutes of the game, Roquoson’s offense was very disappointed when the ball was underthrown to a wide-open receiver, Jeff Silver. The game end- ed as a tie, the score 14-14.

The seniors were coached by Scott Howard and Mike Brodsky. Kerry Williams and Mike Musiol helped the juniors with their plays. After a few practices and a postponement because of rain, the day of the game finally arrived. The seniors won the toss and elected to re- ceive the ball. The first three quar- ters were rough and defense- oriented. Neither of the team’s offenses was able to perform against the other’s defense. Then the fourth quarter came. With about three minutes left in the game, the juniors had the ball and got a big break. A costly fif- teen yard penalty on the seniors put the juniors near the goal line. The junior quarterback, Gina White, then faked out the seniors and swept right to score a touch- down. The extra point conversion attempt failed. The seniors re- ceived the ball with two minutes left. They drove the length of the field to the juniors’ twenty, show- ing signs of a comeback. The ref- erees, Mr. Tyrus Woodard and Mr. Craig Stallings, said not enough time had run off the clock. Thus, the clock ran out of time, along with the seniors’ luck. The game ended 6-0 in favor of the juniors. Dave Hinds, an assistant principal, agreed to help with the tough job of refereeing. 125 Play Action Rachel Gordon reads news flashes to Miss Barrett’s class. Joe shows Miss Barrett his admit slip after showing up late ... AGAIN. For their fall production, the drama department presented the play ‘‘Up the Down Staircase” by Bel Kaufman. Mrs. Sandy Katz directed the play and was assisted by not only the cast but also by endless numbers of makeup, prop, and backstage personnel. The story revolved around a novice teacher, Miss Barrett, with high hopes for her coming year. Her concept of an ideal school was shattered when she came to Calvin Coolidge High School. The students were disruptive and re- bellious. They were constantly tardy and always causing prob- lems. One particular headache was a hood named Joe Ferrone. He couldn’t have cared less about school and was only there be- cause he had to be. Miss Barrett was determined to reach him and to make him want to learn, one way or another. Fellow teachers, Bea Schacter and Paul Barringer, befriended Miss Barrett. They helped her to understand the school and to learn to grin and bear it. Miss Barrett set up a suggestion box for all the students to express their opinions of the class. This proved to be advantageous and helped her to understand her class. She finally felt she was get- ting through to the students, espe- cially Joe. After an accident of a student and a fight with Paul, Miss Barrett decided she wouldn’t return to school for the next term. Joe said if she wasn’t coming back, neither was he. When the curtain opened for the last time, the new term had begun. Much to the students’ sur- prise, Miss Barrett was back. The played ended on a triumphant note when Joe entered the class- room, ready and willing to learn. Cast Dr. Maxwell Clark — J.

Masterminds of the Science Fair On December 5, all the stu- dents who were enrolled in sci- ence classes assembled in the com- mons to participate in the Science Fair. There were many categories that had to be judged, and the slow pace made many of the stu- dents very anxious and nervous. Each of the students hoped to leave with an award. As the judges came to each project, the student tried to ex- plain the different aspects of his project and show its significance. After each judge had finished asking numerous questions, it was possible to see a look of relief on the student’s face as the judge walked away. One of the partici- pants, Cheryl Parker, said, ‘‘l was really afraid that | would not be able to answer any of the ques- Colleen Mcinerney breathes a sigh of relief as the last judge views her project.

Hearts beat with anticipation. Students squirmed, nervously bit- ing their nails. Whispers and rumors ran rampant. As the lines’ inched forward, participants be- came increasingly worried.

Lee Fahringer, playing the role of a mute king, tries to explain love to his son, the prince, played by Charles Woodruff. 130 Once Upon A Mattress a delicate thing’’ Phaedra Moran, as the Minstrel, charms the audience with her sweet-sounding ballad. Keith Bocklett and Laura Little quarrel in their roles of Sir Harry and Lady Larkin. Forgotten lines, misplaced steps, cracking voices; after eight weeks of practice all of these were perfected. On March 28th, 29th, and 30th the drama department presented its spring musical, Once Upon A Mattesss. It was a musical version of Hans Christian Andersen's ‘‘The Princess on the Pea.’’ The play was directed and choreographed by Mrs. Sandy Katz. The musical numbers, in- cluding ‘‘In a Little While’ and ‘Minstrel, Jester, and |,’’ were directed by Mrs. Dot Little. The story was recounted by the court minstrel (Phaedra Moran). When the curtain opened, Queen Aggravain (jennifer Anderson), was testing a princess (Carol Sharp) for her son, Prince Daunt- less (Charles Woodruff). Until he was married, no one else in the kingdom could be wed. Sir Harry (Keith Bocklett), a knight in the kingdom, discovered that his girlfriend Lady Larkin was pregnant. He personally set out to find a real princess for Dauntless. After weeks of searching, Harry finally returned with a princess named Winnifred (Anje Phelps). Prince Dauntless immediately liked her but the Queen was skep- tical of her nobility and was sure that she would fail her test. The test was one of sensitivity, where one pea was placed under twenty mattresses. If Winnifred was un- able to sleep, this would prove she was a true princess. After an exhausting evening of dancing, singing and a drugging by the Queen, Winnifred was ready for bed. The princess was unable to sleep and upon her con- fession of this the next morning, she was accepted as a true prin- cess. She and the prince were able to marry. Thus the storyline and the play ended on a happy note. The parts were both big and small. The per- formances were a first for some and a last for others. But everyone — even those behind the scenes, was a Star, if only for a brief shin- ing moment. Anje Phelps portrays an exhausted princess who just can’t get to sleep. Charles Woodruff, as Pri nce Dauntless, ex- presses his discouragement in a song. Once Upon A Mattress 131 The Heat is On!

Spring break has arrived! Stu- dents rushed to get out of the building and into the first friend’s car they saw. They were headed for some- thing more exciting than school. What did Po- quoson students do during spring break? Many planned to spend their free time out on the beach. Through- out most of the week, the sky was a beautiful blue. The bright colors of spring were dazzling. The weather was perfect for the beach — if you like surfing with a wind-chill factor of 45 degrees. Only the dedicated beach bums stayed there for long. There were, however, plenty of Jeff McCuiston, up Tiffany, and Chrissy e Chriehoadley spent their break with Donald and Mickey at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. 132 Spring Break things to keep students busy. Spring sports coaches were careful to make efficient use of their athletes’ time away from school. These students spent their break wondering why they ever went out for a spring sport. Busch Gardens was a good place to find Poquoson students. The park opened to the public on the first day of spring break. The cool weather made it beautiful for working students. What about the museums, libraries, and other fun, educa- tional things young people are supposed to visit during vaca- tion? Well, the malls, movies, and hobby shops apparently held more interest this year. Spring break may not have been the epitome of summer fun in the sun, but even those students who had to work would agree that a break is a break and nothing tops a week without school. With such cool weather outside, there was fo telling who you'd find clowning. around in the mail. Joel Rogers and Andrew Kozelka made their shopping trip worthwhile. “Kick back! Relax!

Among the 10 participants in this year’s pageant were two seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, and three freshmen. These girls captured the crowd's attention from the very beginning with the opening num- ber, ‘California Girls.’” After this display of singing and dancing, the girls had a chance to model a sportswear outfit. During the tal- ent portion of the pageant, the girls entertained the audience with flute and piano playing, sing- ing, and dancing. Finally, after a long evening of anticipation, the five finalists were announced. They were Stacie Barton, Evette Freeman, Christine French, Laura Little, and Angela Jones. These girls came to the center of the stage and answered questions they each chose from a bowl. The judges took a long time but finally reached a conclusion. The talent It's Not Whether You Win or Lose winner was a sophomore baton twirler, Angela Jones. The winner of the title of Miss Photogenic was senior Chery! Bell. Sophomore Stacie Barton was voted by the girls to be Miss Congeniality. The second and first runners-up in the pageant, respectively, were Christine French and Evette Free- man. Stacie Barton was crowned the 1985 Miss Poquoson High School. For the talent competition Christine French (second runner-up) plays the flute. Chery! Bell (Miss Photogenic), Evette Free- man (first runner-up) and Anje Phelps show their dance skills in the opening number.

Writers’ Forum ’85 — Catch it!’” Although these and other advertising slo- gans were off the wall and down- right absurd, the Writers’ Forum ‘85 writers’ conference proved to be one of the most professionally done of similar conferences statewide. The conference, which was put together by Mrs. Fay and the AP English class, provided selected students and invited guests with the opportunity to hear lectures by five accredited writers. The five writers on the panel represented various types of writ- ing.

Maurice Duke, who was hired as the writer and photojour- nalist for the Godspeed revoyage, spoke about this demanding job. Gordon Bennett, who writes under the penname of ‘‘Isak Romun,” gave advice to students about writing short stories and get- ting published. Bruce Weigl, an assistant English professor at ODU, spoke about poetry and how some poems are made. The fifth speaker was Dave Smith, a poet, author, professor, and former Poquoson teacher and football coach. Smith inspired sentimental feelings as he read and explained several excerpts from his collec- tion of writings about Poquoson. Following the writers’ presenta- tions, there was a question and answer period, and finally a for- mal luncheon complete with ca- tered food, a live jazz band, and an array of interesting guests. According to the comments of students, teachers, guests and speakers, Writers’ Forum ’85 was a smash hit.

Although the weddings were quite realistic, the students still had a chance to be creative. The classes selected the kind of atmos- phere they wanted at the wed- ding. Since kissing in school is again st the rules, the couples came up with even more enter- taining ways to “seal their love.”’ The weddings were great fun, great food, and in essence, a great way to spend classtime. “With this ring,’’ Tom Deans promises to love and honor Terra LeVan for the whole Just like any other flower girl, Tyna Sloate was prone to giggling during the cere- mony.

The team, which consists of Andrew Kozel- ka, Lee Farhinger, Jeep Wedding, and Greg Wissinger came back to defend the championship which has been won by Poquoson for the last two years. Greg Wissinger, the captain of the team, said, “‘I think the key to our winning sea- son has been mainly two things. The first reason is because we are probably the quickest team com- peting. The second reason has been our coach Mr. Fay. He has put in many hours quizzing us with questions.

Throughout the game, the team used the strategy of answering quickly and it paid off. The team defeated Southampton by a dev- astating 395 points. It was the best victory of the season. The winning streak is sure to continue with the support of the school and the guid- ance of a very important and car- ing coach, Mr. Fay.

It may seem impossible, but joining a club can make it actually hap- pen. Diverse organizations give students the opportunity to meet and talk with other students shar- ing similar interests. Of the seventeen clubs, each serves a different purpose. Some clubs can give one an idea of what certain careers may be like. Other clubs are for those with certain tal- ents that can be used to serve the school. For students who can per- form in front of an audience, there are also clubs that utilize this abili- ty.

The SCA has always been consi- dered a very prestigious club. Membership is not as simple as deciding that one wants to belong, instead one must turn in a petition with 25 signatures of members from his her class, and 2 signa- tures of teachers. After this has been done, the elections are held. The number of representatives for each class is dependent upon the number of students within that grade.

A few changes were brought about and to the majority of stu- dents they were for the better. Tradition was broken when the annual Holly Ball was not held. In its place was a Christmas dance that was very successful. In addi- tion to the dance, a small party was given for the faculty’s chil- dren, with Santa Claus and games and prizes.

At the beginning of the year the Key Club sponsored an end-of- summer dance. Next they spon- sored the Newlywed Game. Cou- ples from the school participated, as well as famous-teacher cou- ples. Natalie Whitlow and Rich Cannella won for the students. Mr. and Mrs. VanDervort won for the teachers. The most important thing the Key Club did was the Blood Drive. This year the school broke the district and the old school record with 133 pints. They also planned the Spring Fling for the Sports Boosters. The pro- ceeds from the dance went to the Mark Kain fund. The Key Club helped at the annual Pig Roast spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club. And as always, the Key Club had their poo! party at the end of the year. The officers were Colleen McInerney, president; Jeep Wed- ding, vice president; Monica Evans, secretary; and Susan Roberts, treasurer. Mrs. Smith is their sponsor.

So this means that band mem- bers all over the city are polishing their shoes, shining their instru- ments, checking over their uni- forms, and going over their music. The next morning all are at the high school ready to load the buses and journey to parades where they are always welcomed by ecstatic multitudes. But, is this all that there is to being a member of the band? Not at all, there is much more to it than most realize. With 128 members there is so much work that goes into every- one being in perfect step, snap- ping to attention in perfect synch, and playing the music in perfect harmony. This is accomplished by hours of practice. It starts two weeks before school opens and does not stop until the last day of school. Everyday in class and two days a week after school the band unrelentlessly practices. What comes out of it one may ask? A perfect record of first place for ev- ery parade entered within the year. Being in the band involves even more than this though, it also in- cludes earning money in order to pay for expenses, such as the spring trip to the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia. This year the band purchased bad- ly needed uniforms. The uniforms cost approximately $20,000 and coming up with the money looked grim. The band decided to turn to the community which they repre- sented at each performance and ask for help. Citizens of Poquoson proved their pride in the accom- plishments of the band and soon donations were beginning to materialize. Aside from parades, the band also attended the Concert Festival at Tabb High School where they were rated along with other area bands. The concert received ex- cellent ratings. To sum up the 1984-85 Islander Marching Band, who could say it better than Tim Smith, the band director himself. ‘‘They’re great, a very positive group, a lot of lead- ership.” Top right — Mr. Smith directs the band as they perform in the Christmas concert.

Band 149 Dancing in the Streets eS aig Practices, pep rallies, half time shows, parades, band concerts, extra practices, the list goes on and on. The band auxilaries had another outstanding year. Each auxilary unit had its own sponsor this year, which meant stricter dis- cipline. The majorette squad, with cap- tain Sherri Cawley, was sponsored by Mrs. Shelvy Manning. The squad was quite unique because all the majorettes were or had been competitive twirlers on an individual basis. Four of the seven members travelled to Notre Dame for individual national and world championships in late July of 1984. The twirlers also com- peted for the first time without the marching band in a majorette competition. Although many other local high school squads were very good, the majorettes captured first place and an enor- mous applause from the audi- ence. The squad ended the year with its own trophy to sit in the showcase in the lobby. The pom pom squad was spon- sored by Debbie Evans, a former member of the Rockettes in New York City. The captains were seniors Karen Haskiell and Alicja Worrell. Because of the squad’s new sponsor many changes occured. The routines were choregraphed with jazzy moves and more intricate routines. Though hard to get used to, the difference was incredible. Another addition to the year was a hula-hoop routine performed to the song “All Night Long.’’ The first half time show of the year amazed Bull Island fans when the pom pom auxilary unit entered the field and entertained them with a totally different style of dance. The flag corps, with captain Kim Vernall, was sponsored by Karen Rollins. Miss Rollins was a drum major for the band in 1982- 83, and her advice and strict disci- pline were a big help to the corps. 150 Band Auxilliaries Top — Majorettes Sherri Cawley and Angela Jones discuss what to do with a baton that refuses to land in their hand!

Band Auxilliaries 151 Sing Me A Song Under the direction of Mrs. Lit- tle, Concert Choir and Waterfront Jazz Show Choir have had a busy year. Concert Choir is composed of students who are enrolled in a chorus class and who are mem- bers of Waterfront Jazz Show Choir. Concert Choir performs a Christmas concert and a spring concert. In March, they competed in the District Choral Festival at Ferguson High School and were given a superior rating. Waterfront Jazz Show Choir is a select group of singers and per- formers composed of 18 mem- bers. Like the Concert Choir, they gave a concert at Christmastime and also one in the Spring. They also sang for the visiting commit- tee, local churches and the middle school. In the Spring, they partici- pated in the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Fes- tival at James Madison University.

Concert Choir nos No Time to Play The purpose of VICA is to bring forth people of various trades and occupations together as a group. In order to become a member, one must be a student in the ICT class. ICT had 100% membership in VICA this year. All the participants do cooperative hands-on work and some apprentices. The meetings consist of a pro- cess known as networking. Net- working is the act of people con- gregating and discussing their areas of work with one another, including job openings for other fields. VICA organizations from all schools within the district meet and hold luncheons. They also have district competitions after which the winners go on to com- pete in the state rally. The club’s activities include a visit to NASA, a rally at Busch Gradens, and the state rally held in Fairfax. Aside from jobs, meetings, and field trips, participants are also ex- pected to take part in fund raisers.

This year’s club was rather unique in that two of its members held an office in the district. Sallie Messier was the district Chaplain and Lynn Watkins was the district president. Mr. Kimsey called Lynn ‘special’ due to her ‘enthusiasm and participation.’’ As president, she will take part in the state rally as a speaker. As the sponsor of VICA, Mr. Kimsey gave his thoughts on the organization, saying that it is an “enjoyable opportunity for the students and coordinator!”’ Right — Officers Kelle Carmines, Walt Beacham and Rhonda McPherson deco- rate eggs.

Work Until the Dawn “We're all one big hap py fami- ly,’’ stated DECA president Suzy Holland. According to Suzy, DECA is a good opportunity for those who do not know what they want to do after high school and are interested in businesses. Mem- bers of this club learn how to oper- ate their own businesses as well as to get along with people. The club participated in the Fall rally with eight other schools in the district. It was also involved in several promotional activities such as operation Santa Claus for Farm Fresh and sales promotions for the Dixie Trailor Company. For the Dixie Trailor Company, DECA received a $200 donation from the owner, Mr. Forrest. Aside from all of this, there were also fund raisers. A carnival for muscular distrophy was held at the 7-eleven, the school store was opened, and tulip bulbs were sold. There was also the annual Santa Shop for children during the Christmas season, and a dance put on for all students in the school. Money raised through these pro- grams is used for an employee employer banquet given each year. The banquet is completely paid for by DECA. The president of DECA, Suzy Holland, was named the District 23 Student of the Year. Left — DECA (F-B) — N. Thomas, T. For- rest, |. McQuestion, B. Knox, G. Clark, D. Evans, L. Masters, S. Holland, L.

Debate is simply a form of argumentation. There are two sides of debate. One is the affirmative side and the other is the negative side. The affirmative debators plan a solu- tion for the problem given, where- as the negative debators say that the problem is fine just as it is. The National Topic is Resolved: that the Federal government should provide employment for all U.S. citizens living in poverty. There are three levels of debate: novice, junior varsity, and varsity. Novice debators are those who are debating for the first time. Sec- ond year debators are junior varsi- ty. Varsity is for those who have been debating for over two years. This year there are 8 novice de- bators, 2 junior varsity debators and one varsity debator. Team co- captians are seniors Alicia Worell and Carol Sharp. Districts were held on March 21 at Tabb High. Paula Hopping and Laura Little won 2nd place on the affirmiative side and Steve Kostoff and Tony DiPippa won 2nd place for the negative side. Steve and Tony took 2nd place at regionals, which were held April 13 at Man- chester High. State competition was held at University of Virginia on April 26-27.

Forensics and Debate 159 Always in on the Action As the weeks and months crept by, every aspect of life in Po- quoson (inside school and out) was Captured by the newspaper staff. Few things slipped by the hardworking journalists who pro- duced the ‘‘Island Echo.”’ In each issue one could laugh with Allen Campbell’s movie review, agree or disagree with Tom Dean’s editorial column ‘‘In the Bull- pen,”’ and be touched by Jennifer Singleton’s heartwarming feature articles. Under the direction of Mr. Mark VanDervort, the hard work of the students began to pay off. At the beginning of the year the staff (members of the journalism class and others willing to do the re- quired work) was somewhat un- sure of themselves. As the year progressed their confidence grew, along with the quality of the arti- cles and the popularity of the paper. The editor-in-chief, Eleanor Armistead, attributes the paper’s success to the diverse personali- ties and interests of the staff. ‘‘I think the most important thing is that it’s the staff’s newspaper; it’s everyone working together.”’ Each month the journalism class sent various members to Wil- liamsburg, where the paper is published. A field trip to the Daily Press was also taken. In October several editors attended a work- shop at the University of Virginia. Here they were taught the basics of editing the sports organization, along with many other newspa- per-related items. Since the paper was so well done, the staff will submit three consecutive issues to be judged at the UVA workshop next year. 160 Newspaper Right — Angela Douglas diligently pre- pares a layout.

Game Health careers is an organiza- tion whose main purpose is to raise enough money for a college scholarship, which is given to a graduating member of the club. Participants plan to pursue a Ca- reer in medicine. A dance is held annually and candy is sold in order to raise the necessary money. In addition to fundraisers, the student also learns to take a person’s blood pressure and tem- perature and to make beds using the standard hospital procedure. They also are informed of the re- quirements for various medical careers including college criteria. The health careers club also tours both a hospital and a home for the aged. To be a member of the Chess club one needs no_ previous knowledge of the game, it is taught during the meetings. Mem- bers who are already familiar with the game play one another in order to sharpen their skills and work on new strategies. There is no competition with other schools at this time, but Greg Hopkins, who sponsors the club, says that he would like to if the organiza- tion’s membership increases.

Health Careers and Chess 161 We entered the class not ex- pecting so much hard work for only a pass or fail grade. We did not know all the work it would take to produce a really good year- book. The yearbook that pleases every single person who looks at it is non-existent, we soon found — but we wanted to please every- one. Our first and most important task was to find a theme. ‘‘Games People Play” reflects individual personalities and everyone enjoys playing his or her favorite game. With this in mind, we decided on our theme and title. But this was only the beginning. There were layouts to create and copy to be written; deadlines to be met and pictures to be cropped. The staff was all seniors except for five juniors. Credit is due to two people who helped reach the goal of a successful yearbook. These two people are Mrs. Van- Dervort, sponsor, and Mr. John Perry, the representative from Hunter Publishing Company. J.P., as he was known to the class, visited frequently, offering advice on layouts, copy and such. Besides the class period every day, where the staff received hands-on instruction, representa- tives were selected to attend a workshop where they saw annuals and cover designs from schools all over the country. Several editors attended the Virginia High School League workshop at the Universi- ty of Virginia, where they were shown alternate approaches to putting together a good yearbook. It was hard work, frantic deadlines and even short tempers at times, but the students of yearbook class deserved the half credit they earned.

The junior class worked hard all year in preparation for the Prom. They sold candy bars, had dances, and sold candy and drinks at a booth during the Seafood Festival to raise money. Actual planning of the Prom did not begin until the first of the year, but the band, Reel to Reel, was contracted in October. The Prom was held at the Fort Monroe Officers Club and the room was already so beautiful that it did not need much decoration. Many themes were suggested but finally the theme of “A Night in Heaven” was decided to be the best choice. To create a ‘““‘heaven- ly’. atmosphere, the juniors and their head sponsor, Mrs. Janet Mike Brodsky and Susan Roberts refresh themselves at the punch bowl. Juniors and seniors dance the night away to the sounds of Reel to Reel. 164 Prom Knight, grabbed their ladders and hung stars, stars, and more stars. As a special touch the doorway was made into a gateway into heaven. It was framed by a soft, cloud-like curtain with tiny white lights. There were also little cloud centerpieces complete with silver angels on all the tables. The food was wonderfully pre- pared by the staff at Fort Monroe. It included everything from water- melon to crabballs to pork won- tons. There was also a refreshing fountain of punch. When the big night finally ar- rived all were looking their best. The band was playing for the first time after a five month break, but no one seemed to mind. Prom king and . Musiol, show o i ueen, Jackie Stone and Kim their winnings.

At the height of the evening the Prom Court was announced. The two prince and princess couples were Kelle Carmines with Danny Edwards, and Lisa Sibbers with Todd Bowden. The Prom Queen and King were Kim Musiol and Jackie Stone. The whole evening was def- initely one that will be remem- bered by all. The teachers and their husbands or wives even en- joyed the music and dancing as much as the students. } Charlie Flynn and Monica Evans take home stars and memories of their senior prom. Prom 165 Students Honored at Assembly Underclassmen stood in the gym bleachers, packed like sardines. The applause began as the seniors entered, robed in gowns of maroon and white. When the noise died away to a faint murmur, the awards assem- bly began. The first award presented was the Voice of Democracy award. The winners were Stacie Barton, third place; Stella Thompson, second place; and Phaedra Moran, first place. Charlie Flynn was presented the next award. This was given by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mr. Frank Martino delivered the Sports Booster Club Award to Mr. Bob Howard. This was presented to the person who had helped the advancement of Poquoson sports the most over the past year. Leading the school with many honors and awards was the Islander Marching Band. 166 Awards Assembly Colleen McInerney was given an award by the Red Cross for organizing the blood drive. The Poquoson Exchange Club Youth of the Year was chosen from among the six youths of the month. The monthly winners in- cluded Shannon Rundle, Colleen McInerney, Jammie Moran, Mike McCormick, Lynn Watkins, and Trisha Evans. Colleen received a $300 scholarship from the Ex- change Club. Shannon received another $300 scholarship and was named Youth of the Year. Mr. Mike Mousetis presented a special athletic award to Mike McCormick. Mike, a state wres- tling champion for the third straight year, was chosen as an All-American by USA Wrestling. Two seniors received Marshall Hahn Engineering Merit Scholar- ships. Greg Wissinger and Trisha Senior Day For many years it had been a tradition for seniors to have a “skip day.” This is a day when seniors say, ‘‘Forget exams! Forget school! We’re going to the beach!’’ This year, because of Evans each earned this prestigious award given by the Virginia Tech engineering department. The R. Fletcher Gray Achieve- ment Award went to the senior who had shown the extra initiative and effort needed to turn his or her high school career into a great success. The winner of this award was Richard Sayre. To end the awards assembly, Dr. Roy Vorhauer announced the recipients of the Order of the Bullpen. This award is one given to a student, patron, or staff member who has helped promote the school, its activities, and its spirit throughout the years. The patron recipient was Mr. Bob Howard. The two staff members were Mr. James Teague and Mrs. Elizabeth Pirtle. Lisa Sibbers received the award for the student category. new state legislation, the seniors were forbidden to skip. However, since the administration under- stood the disappointment faced by the seniors, they developed a “Senior Day’’ where the seniors would be present at school but would not have to attend classes. “Senior Day’’ consisted of the senior skit in the morning followed by Baccalaureate practice and the Senior Pool Party. Eleanor Armistead, Will Topping, and Ray Freeman play their roles of July, Willy, and “the Freeman.”’ Skitting Skipping The audience was quiet, the lights were dim, and one of the finest Senior Skits was about to be shown. Many hard weeks of preparation had taken place for this special event. The family in- troduced the theme by shopping for anew T.V. The back wall was creatively decorated with T.V. Guides and programs that were to appear. The author director for the Senior Skit was Tom Deans and much credit is due him. The members of the family were Tom Deans (father), Jennifer Anderson (mother), and Skip Tyler, Sean Bradberry, and Belinda Carmines (children). Among the satirizing skits and commercials were Leave it to Freeman, Howard and Fred, Mr. Rogers, At the Movies, PHS Express, and Tutor Society. Alan Campbell played Mark Goodman of MTV and was surprised when Poquoson’s Police Chief Jackie White appeared personally to deny having the other sequined glove of Michael Jackson. The skit came to a close with a slide show accompanied by the class song, ‘Theme from Mahogany.’’ Senior class president Jo Lynn Pride presented the senior class banner to the Junior class president Tara Smith. The highlight of the skit was when all the Seniors came on stage to sing ‘‘We are the Seniors.”’ The lights came back on and the show was over but the memories of this would not soon be forgotten. “U is for — YOU get to do this next year!’ say Alicia Worrell and Christine French. “Cindy Lauper, Prince, Madonna are DEAD!”’ says Allen Campbell of Music News. Family members Skip Tyler, Jennifer Anderson, and Tom Deans introduce the theme by shopping for a television. Police Chief Jackie White was an unex- pected special guest in the Senior Skit. In this skit, Allen Campbell and Tony Arcovitch satirized ‘‘At the Movies.”’”’ Senior Skit 167 Barbecue and “” . After the senior skit and Bacca- laureate practice, the seniors had a chance to relax and to visit with their friends at the senior pool ‘party. Although the day was cloudy, it was still warm enough to clown around in the Municipal Pool. The first thing most seniors did when they came through the gate was to secure a place in the long line for food. Hot dogs were cooked on the grill and served David Page, Glen Moore, Les Abbott, Eddie Blankenship, and Dirk Venables play frisbee. ee ee Lisa Sibbers, Missy Cather, Kristin Hedin, JoLyn Pride, Belinda Carmines, Kim Musiol, and Shannon Rundle test the water temperature before deciding whether to enter. Danny Johnson, William Topping, B.J. Holloway, Rich Cannella, Jeff Silver, Chuck Phillips, Alan Campbell, and Leon Nicosia demonstrate their balancing skills. oe: From the smile on his face, everyone could see that Les Abbott was having a good time. Tammy Holloway, Chris Goddin, and Tee Juhl take it easy lounging beside the pool. B.J. Holloway stares off in the distance as Dave Lauderback smiles at the camera. Curt Overman and Rich Cannella appear to be thoroughly enjoying the senior pool party. 168 Pool Party Billiards with chips, dip, beans, potato salad, and all kinds of soft drinks. Two extremely large and ex- tremely appetizing cakes awaited seniors at the end of the table. There was plenty of food for even the biggest eaters. One of the main highlights of the party was, of course, when the water claimed a swimming suit top. Seniors spent the day swim- ming, splashing, playing frisbee, and talking to their friends. The party lasted until the weekend started — what more could any senior ask? Although very little sun was present, Chris Begor decides to don his shades anyway. : Monica Evans and Matt Husson take a ron breather after playing chicken in the pool. Senior sponsor, Mrs. Rita Kehoe, prepares her plate after feeding seniors all day. Debra Herbener, Colleen McInerney, and Natalie Szupel keep a watchful eye on the frisbee game while Jackie Goodman finds the scenery in the pool more interesting. Danny Johnson eyes Jeff Silver as if he is not too sure of Jeff’s scheming plans. Skip Tyler, Chris Carroll, Chuck Phillips, Monica Evans, Frank Martino, Tony Arcovitch, Jammie Moran, and Matt Husson show the togetherness of the senior class. Mike McCormick smiles as he exits the swimming pool, watch and all. Shelly Moore, Bob Priore, and Gene Firth relax, enjoying the music of the D.J. Dr. Roy Vorhauer and Mr. Dave Nelson discuss how well the pool party is going. Pool Party 169 On Your Mark, Get Set, Go! After four long years of toil and sweat, the class of 1985 had final- ly reached their goal, Graduation. One could see the excitement brewing in the room as everyone ran around the Commons handing out last minute cards and giving hugs. With just five minutes left, the seniors lined up in order and stood nervously in place. As the maroon and white procession moved closer to the gymnasium, they heard the band playing the graduation processional and they knew that this was really it. Reverend James Haskiell began the ceremony with an invocation. Then JoLyn Pride, the senior class president, welcomed all the families and the guests to the ceremony. She also thanked them for their unrelenting support. The valedictorian of the senior class was Kathy Kerlinger. Her speech 170 Graduation stressed the importance of in- dividuality. The first of the two salutatorians was Belinda Carmines. She gave a heart- warming and tear-jerking speech. She also read a poem by Robert Frost. The other salutatorian was Kristin Hedin. She read a poem she had written herself about departing from home. The dis- tinguished speaker that addressed the senior class was Dr. Arnold G. Abrams. He talked about the im- portance of being true to one’s self. He also stressed the im- portance of individuality. He was a very enlightening and enter- taininng speaker. After a special selection of music was played by the band, the Joe Thomas Award was presented to Teresa Evans by Belinda Carmines, co-salutatorian, was presented with awards for the Poquoson, Deufel, SCA, and NHS Scholarship. The graduating class was led into the gym by gowned members of the school staff JoLyn Pride, the Senior class president, leads the Seniors in the traditional turning of the tassles. Valedictorian Kathy Kerlinger coolly deliv- ers the valedictory address. ee Tommy Jordan congratulates Teresa Evans upon her receiving the Joe Thomas Award. Kristin Hedin, co-salutatorian, presents her salutatory address. the 1984 recipient, Tommy Jordan. Next to address the gradu- ates and the audience was Mrs. Marie Dryden with the scholar- ship announcements. All of the scholarships previously won by students were announced first and then several winners of local scholarships were announced for the first time. This year’s recipients of the Poquoson Scholarships were Belinda Carmines and Kristin Hedin. SCA scholarships were awarded to Belinda Carmines and Shannon Rundle. National Honor Society scholar- ships were awarded to Belinda Carmines and Jammie Moran. Susan Moore was announced as the winner of the Earl Champagne Scholarship. The next award, the Robert Deufel Scholarship, was given to Belinda Carmines. The last scholarship to be awarded was the R. Fletcher Gray Memorial Scholarship. This was awarded to Susan Moore.. After an hour of anxious wait- ing, the seniors realized that it was finally their turn. The time had finally come for them to take that important walk they had waited all their lives for. After each graduate had received a diploma, JoLyn Pride led the class in the turning of the tassles. Whoops and yells of sheer joy from the newly- graduated students rang through the gym. The benediction was said and the emotion-filled gradu- ates filed out of the gym and into the foyer where they were received by friends and family. Good-byes were said to teachers and classmates, but hopefully they would not be the last. Delores Gray beams as Mayor Joseph Bunnting presents Susan Moore with the R. Fletcher Gray Memorial Scholarship. To create a dignified atmosphere, the staff traditionally wear their college graduation gowns on graduation night. Graduation 171 A MONOPOLY Cn Memory The lobby door closes and the cool air floats down through the peg board ceiling. Teachers pass by in small groups whispering about the past year and past stu- dents. The graduated senior walks slowly through the lobby absorb- ing memories from what is seen. The trophy case is open to re- ceive the wrestling state champi- onship cup, the Tidewater Chal- enge champion plaque for the third consecutive year, and the band’s first place trophy from the Williamsburg Christmas parade. The silence from the gym echoes with the screams of the crowd as favorite rival, York, was defeated 55-46 in boys’ basketball. The basketball hoop also recalls the thousandth point of Todd Bowden that brought a standing ovation from the home crowd. The lights of the gym flash a double image picture of the varsity wrestlers standing for a moment in silence with black ribbons tied to their singlets in memory of Sid Evans and later, Jimmy Ragsdale. Walking on the green carpeting of the commons brings back vi- sions of the Homecoming-Hall music notes hanging from the ceiling with each senior’s name in- scribed. The bathroom entrances evoke a chuckle remembering the “potty patrol’ of teachers check- ing the conduct of students at the end of the school year. The dim English, History, and Math halls have grown three times wider with the loss of the student population. The bright yellow lockers have be- come taller and wider, laughing at the fact that no student could fit a coat and book inside and still close the door. The senior hall is dark and the faint neon lights make it appear endless. But like the senior year it housed, it came to a sudden end, sending the se- nior through the door into the heat and blinding sunlight. Then, once again, the door swings shut on the memories of the past, sealing them in our minds for all time. atl During the candidate speech assembly for new officers, Belinda Carmines, Student Council President, brought her speech and term to an END. eer re 172 Closing The baseball team exchanges handshakes with Gloucester, who they beat 5-3, at the END of the game.
