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.
