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.
