UBBSB A plea for help with directions is being answered for parents on “Back to school night.” It v as a chance for parents to follow their childrens’ class schedules and meet the teachers in the classroom situation. In the senior parking lot Kim Evans, Lisa Zawolski, and Tina Evans head for their car while Patricia Dunlap, a junior, looks on. A special parking lot for seniors is one of the senior privileges. 2 Opening A Dynasty Of Pride Begins Exhibiting their Panther Pride, members of the band front make it clear who they think is Numero Uno! We’ve come a long way since August 25, 1979, the day Potomac Senior High School was born. The class of 1983, our first graduating class began their high school career in the building now known as Saunders Middle School all alone as ninth graders. They spent the whole year and half the next year in the Saunders Building; then with the new ninth graders, the class of 1984, they moved into the new Potomac High School Building at the beginning of the second semester. Those two classes had the honor of making choices that were to become traditions for the new school. Selecting the school colors, mascot, naming the newspaper and yearbook were some important decisions made by the classes of 1983 and 1984. The pride and spirit exemplified by the first graduating classes has been a model for us. The 1984 seniors known as “The class with class” was a class of distinction. Earning the highest SAT scores in Prince William Coun¬ ty, they proved what they could do academically. They demonstrated as much prowess on the athletic fields as they did in the classroom. They helped Potomac capture seventeen district, six regional and one state title in three years of varsity com¬ petition. At the beginning of this year we were the defending District champs in: football, volleyball, golf, wrestling, boys’ tennis, softball, and baseball. In addition we were regional champs in golf, volleyball, and softball. The unity and pride continued with this year’s seniors, known as “the slow starting but always pulling through class.” They showed that they were ready for the race by doing an outstanding job on their part for homecoming. Spirits were running high. Even though the spirit award was lost to the juniors, Seniors deserved an A for effort. We are grateful for the support of our parent booster organiza¬ tions. Without their assistance many of the accomplishments of the past five years would not have been possible. Parental support keeps Potomac going strong. With much interest and hard work, Potomac parents take pride in our school. At a Students Against Drunk Driving meeting. President Scott Dadson discusses the organization’s goal with members, Kate Cevarich and Tanya Cartmill. Opening 3 Academics, Clubs, Sports And Friends Are A Part Of... 6 Student Life From Grubby to Gucci “What am I going to wear?” “Are my pants too short?” “Is my skirt too long?” “Mom, are my camouflage pants clean?” “My hair won’t do anything right.” Such were, the comments as students decided what to wear to school. Many were able to express their personalities through different fashions and hair styles. Though there was still a countable number of “Prep¬ pies” lurking in the hallways with their Izod shirts, Docksiders and madras plaids, “New Wave” fashions became even more prevalent. Neon greens, shocking pinks, spiked short hair, and multi pierced ears were quite in style for both guys and girls. The ever popular denim jeans and concert shirts sporting favorite performers were the good old standby for many students. If “variety is the spice of life,” there certainly was spice in our fashion scene. Student Life 7 Taking a break. Susie Shane and her date take a break from dancing to get a breath of fresh air. Checking the scene. Shellie Stennick and her brother, Mike look over the festivities from the balcony. A Night to Remember The dance floor was filled most of the evening as students and their dates enjoyed music provided by KraKaJax at the 1984 Junior-Senior Prom held at Sheraton-Fredericksburg Motor Inn. The evening was a success thanks to the efforts of the Junior Class and their sponsor, Mrs. Leggett. As the dance floor became crowded, walking in the courtyard and relaxing on the swings were other activities that made the prom truly “A Night To Remember.” Dancing until midnight. Music by KraKaJax lures Angie Nutton and Paul Therault to the dance floor once more. 8 Student Life Watching others on the dance floor a happy group decides to sit this one out. Changing the tempo. Dancers remain on the dance floor as the band plays music to suit everyone’s taste. Getting into the swing of things Kelly Johnson is assisted by Chris McKay. Time to leave. To ward off the chill of the late evening, Laura Hambrick ac¬ cepts James Lacey’s jacket. Student Life 9 ' Playing a tune from the 20’s on the seniors speak easy float Bobby Vitek helps the seniors take 2nd place in the float competition. Spirited Homecoming The Color Guard from Quantico Marine Base perform the opening ceremonies, as the Potomac band played the National Anthem. Activities for homecoming began early in the week with spirit link sales, float construction, hall decorating and spirited dress up days. All activities centered around the “Gangster” theme with classes competing for the coveted spirit award. Enthusiasm reached its peak as the week wound down; floats neared completion and everyone was ready for the Friday night game and festivities. In addition to the team’s winning it’s game the juniors won the float competition and the spirit award. The audience grew quiet as the class princesses made their way to the center of the field, and waited patiently for the announce¬ ment revealing the name of the queen. Cheers arose as Mr. Kite introduced Gina Bolk as the 1984 homecoming Queen. Principal, Mr. Robert Ferrebee described the whole week as a complete success and congratulated the student body on its efforts. This is captain Kim Angelo’s last year to lead the rifle team in half time activities. Rifles preceded the band in halftime ceremonies. A Potomac football player April Koontz refuses a “bribe to throw the game” as the Gangster theme was carried out on the Foreign Language float. 10 Student Life Seniors - Gina Bolk, Jeanna Tillman, Kathleen Delmore Juniors - Stacy Talbot, Stacey Crawford Princesses representing their respective classes were escorted by David Dorton, Jeff Kregger, Mike Cobb, and John Willis Sophomores - Lisa Bolk, Candy Covington Freshmen - Katie Trainor, Marybeth Sines The very lovely Gina Bolk is presented to the fans by Mr. Robert Ferrebee as 1984 Homecoming Queen. Gina was elected by members of the senior class. As tradition dictates she was crowned by the former queen, Katie Homan. Student Life 11 A Day In The Life Of A Panther The day of a Panther usually began before eight and ended at two, but that was just the time spent in classes — the time that many students may have considered boring. During this time, we learned the Pythagorean Theorem, the Law of Multi¬ ple Proportions, and proper grammatical techniques. To learn need not mean “to be bored.” There were many classes which could be taken at Potomac that did not involve so much “book learning.” In classes such as fashion merchandising, cosmetology, printing, drafting, and art, students had a chance to use their creativity and get away from the books. Learning from experience was a great form of education which added a bit of variety in the sometimes monotonous day. Getting to classes was not exactly a fun job either. The halls of Potomac between classes were nothing but wall to wall “panthers” growling their way to their lockers to pick up a book for the upcoming period. Then our stomachs were growl¬ ing as we realized it was time for lunch. When the bell rang we made tracks to the dining room, stood in the lunch line for ten minutes, hunted down a table and chair, and if we were lucky, we had a few minutes to socialize with our best friends — if we had the same lunch period. When the last bell of the day rang, we pushed our way to our lockers and headed to the big yellow busses or our cars for our trip home, unless we had to stay to practice for an extra cur¬ ricular activity, which meant another two hours at school. Tony Khanna and Paul Johnson lay bricks for construction class. Classes such as this added a little bit of variety to an otherwise “book filled” day. Friends, Michelle Leonard and Chris Wolter take time out from escorting the senior float at homecoming to “smile pretty” for the photographer. 12 Student Life Cherish Wangner, like all concerned students, studies hard for her classes. Concentrating on keeping her hands on the “home row” keys, Ardis Kendall completes a typing assignment. Sallee Richardson and Karen Shetley attempt to run to their lockers, deposit and pick up books, and make it to their next classes before the tardy bell rings. Though not an easy task to accomplish in five minutes, there was always ISS as a good in¬ centive to hurry. Debating whether to eat the “catch of the day,” Pete Pandazides hesitantly inserts his fork into the unknown. Although we were always cutting down the cafeteria food, most of us found it was quite edible and sometimes even ... good. Pride On The Job A senior, Sandy Griffith clears tables at Wendy’s. Students frequent many of the fast food restaurants in the immediate vicinity. At Potomac library Sharon Arcaro stacks books on the shelves. Working at Riding over bumpy fields and steep hills is one of Mike Cook’s favorite summer the library not only gave Sharon extra money but also helped her learn pastimes, about classifying books. 14 Student Life Fun At Play Selling toys at Twentieth Century Toy Store is fun for Bea Quintavalli. She likes to watch the children’s eyes light up when they find just the right toy. Don’t let smoke get in your eyes ... Matt Pope and Mike Flynn spend a sum¬ mer weekend camping near Saint Mary’s River. Summer was a time of varied activities for Potomac students. After a short break from school, some attended summer school, others went to special enrichment seminars and camps, and some students decided to stay home and just relax. For some students earning extra money was an important factor during the summer. The majority of students who worked felt that money was the most important aspect, but the experience they gained would also be valuable. Steve Dunlap, who works at Peebles Department Store said, “Money isn’t the only thing I like. I want to get personal satisfaction from my job.” Most of the students felt they earned their pay. Though advancement was limited and not many wanted to continue their present work after graduation, they were getting ex¬ perience that would help them with future jobs. Ringing up the cash register, Steve Dunlap a senior, works hard to please his customers at Peebles Department Store. New routines must be ready when school begins in the fall. Stacy Reed, Kim Angelo, and Kathy Neary strive for perfection. Student Life 15 Graduation.. . Overcoming her nervousness Valedictorian, Kathy Smith addresses the class. One of her many accomplishments was her attendance at Governor’s School for the Gifted. Then The Rains Came All eyes were turned skyward on June 1, 1984 as seniors and their relatives and friends entered the stadium for the final graduation exercises. Rain had been predicted and the ominous dark clouds were evidence that the prediction was coming true. The program went on as scheduled with music provided by the Symphonic Band under the direction of Mr. Richard Dill. Guest speaker was Mr. James McKenzie, Assistant Director of the FBI. The class of 1984 will be remembered for having the highest SAT scores in Prince William County. They were also among the highest in the Northern Virginia area. Five valedictorian awards were presented to: Caroline Alseff, Cynthia Babb, Lisa Cosgrove, Lisa Schwartz, and Kathryn Smith. Although moisture heavy clouds could no longer contain themselves and the rains came just as the final diplomas were being received the spirit of graduation remained undaunted. In addition to her academic achievements, Lisa Cosgrove also represented Potomac in the all County and Regional Choirs. Platform guests from left: Mr. James McKenzie, Assistant Director FBI; Mrs. Mawreen Cad- digan, School Board Representative - Dumfries District; Mr. Robert Ferrebee, Principal; Mr. Gerald Cleary, Chairman - Prince William County School Board; and Mr. Joseph Padgett, Ad¬ ministrative Assistant Prince William County School await the arrival of the graduates. 16 Student Life A Proud Moment The moment has arrived. The graduates rise to begin the walk to the stage and receive their diplomas. Battling the wind graduates make their way to the stadium for the ceremony. The rain held off until the final diplomas were being presented. Student Life 17 Practice + Persistence = Practicing to achieve perfection whether for a recital, a ten¬ nis match, or a Powder Puff Game can teach us the need for patient persistance when we encounter future difficult situa¬ tions no matter how large or how small. The junior girls reaped the benefits of two weeks of hard prctice that ended in their victory over the senior girls in the Powder Puff by a score of 13-6. They learned the meaning of good sportsmanship (or should I say good sportswomanship?). The girls were coached by members of the varsity football team and were cheered on by junior and senior guys who were bold or brave enough to volunteer. After an overtime victory the junior girls decided it was worth all the hard practice. Showing their strength and power Junior girls dominated the Seniors in Powder Puff football. Powder Puff football means powder puff cheerleaders all played by seniors: Scott Keyawa, Scott McKenzie, Paul Tiede, David Goodrich and Robbie Semper. Receiving first aid on the sidelines Katheleen Grafmuller and Tina Evans are aid¬ ed by Varsity football player coach Sean Rice. Going for the tackle and touchdown Junior girls show once again what they are made of. 18 Student Life Perfection = Pride Dedication and hard work make Potomac athletes strong. A member of the track team stretches out in solitude before an afternoon practice. Our award winning Pantherettes Drill Team practices daily, after school, for precision during football halftime dance routines. The flags squad practices many long hard hours after school to perfect their maneuvers for their halftime performances during footbll season. POTOM) Teri King, a junior, works on her serve during tennis practice. The girl’s Preparing for a performance requires hours of practice as shown by Cliff Meadows, tennis team demonstrated that practice makes perfect with a terrific season record. Student Life 19 We Are The Few, The Proud, The .. The CLASS Starts Here The two chosen to represent PSHS by bearing the ti¬ tle Mr. and Ms. Potomac were Mike Berry and Kelly Johnson. This is where the Senior Class starts, with the “bests and mosts ” a tradition set by the Class of ’83. Each of the American Studies II classes were given twelve categories in which they had to nominate fellow class members whom they thought deserved to win a certain title. These names were compiled onto a ballot and sent out once more, and students then voted again individually. These are the seniors who were voted by their classmates to stand out among the rest. They proudly represent the Class of 1985. Always jumping with enthusiasm were Todd Jenkins and Mandy Gaddy, the Most School Spirited. The equation for a successful future is Michele Olio plus Scott Dadson, PSHS’s Most Likely to Succeed. You’d never find James Miller or Shellie Stennick wearing clothes out of date for they were named this year’s Most Stylish. Watch out Joe Theismann and Mary Lou Retton, here comes Potomac’s Most Athletic Mark Vowell and Kim Feltault. 22 Seniors Gina Bolk and Mike Berry certainly didn’t miss out on their beauty sleep. They were voted the Best Look¬ ing Seniors. Easy to get along with and easy to like were the Most Although you actually would not find Sharon Ar- Friendly Seniors Kelly Johnson and Todd Jenkins. C aro and Mike Glynn hiding behind plants, they were voted Most Bashful. If one needed someone to call on for a good laugh, they could dial Christine Wolter or Pete Pan- dazides, the two Most Humorous.

Last year as seniors, the class of ’85 proved not everything you hear is true. After a slow start and much criticism the seniors made a complete turnabout. Not only was there a change in the performance of the class, but there was also a change in the leadership. Last year the class received three new spon¬ sors; Mr. Kite, Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Feret and for the first time had a Board of Directors which proved to be successful. Activities in which the class spon¬ sored last year were a dance after the James Wood football game, a junior- senior powder-puff football game and a senior class play. These activities helped the seniors raise the money needed for their very special graduation ceremony. Leading the class this year was presi¬ dent, Scott Dadson; vice-president, Mandy Gaddy; secretary, Michele Olio; and treasurer, James Miller.

Last summer Sheila Griggers and Michele Olio attended Girls’ State at Longwood College. The purpose of the gathering was to provide citizenship train¬ ing and government study. Through role playing candidates received experience inside politics and discovered how and why it works. The delegation was divided into twelve “cities” where each set up its own local government. The cities joined to form municipal governments that re gulated the activities of all Girls’ State citizens. In addition to role playing, the girls learned valuable lessons from many guest speakers, including Governor Charles Robb, At¬ torney General Balibes, Dr. Janet Greenwood and Mr. Reggie Smith. The topics of the lectures ranged from roles in government to the importance of leadership. Girls’ State was an enlightening experience for all who attend¬ ed. The friends that were made and the experiences shared will last for many years. A new understanding of patriotism and na¬ tional pride were two valuable rewards. The American Legion provides a way for students to participate in Girls’ State and have a feeling of being a member of Congress. Last summer, Michele Olio and Sheila Griggers represented Potomac at Girls’ State 1984.

They all attended Potomac High School this past year as members of the Foreign Exchange Pro¬ gram sponsored by Youth for Understanding. The common impression of the four was that everything is so much bigger and done on a larger scale than in their respective countries. Torunn, who resided with the Reeves family justified this comment accurately when she told us that there are only 250 students attending her school verses the almost 2000 at Potomac. While she was amazed by this, Henrik, who stayed with the Dorton’s, was impressed by the size of our stores. According to Henrik, in Den¬ mark there is one store for each item. Our visitors from other countries give us a lesson in geography showing on the map their native countries. L to R They are: Jose Martinez, Paivi Harjula, Torunn Andersen, and Henrik Johansen. “If you wish to buy cheese, for exam¬ ple,” he said “you must go to a cheese shop. If you want milk, you go to a milk shop, and so on.” Another opinion shared by both Torunn and Henrik was that students at Potomac dressed up more than students from their respective schools. Paivi Harjula and Jose Martinez did not experience an intense cultural shock. Paivi did tell us however, that school in America was easier than those in Finland, where students take as many as fourteen subjects a day. One thing the two found somewhat dif¬ ferent was our social life. Paivi told us that people in America tend to go out more while Jose described how surprised he was when he attended his first American school dance. “Everyone danced with one steady part¬ ner!” In Mexico the muchaches and muchachas go to the dances separately and when the music plays everyone can be found on the dance floor, with or without a partner. Paivi resided with the Stuber family during her stay in America, and Jose lived with the Rinker’s. These four students came to a foreign country, lived with strangers, spoke a language rather unfamiliar to them, and succumbed to the customs and traditions of America for a whole year. For this they were respected and admired by many. When they left, a part of them remained here with us and they took a part of all who touched their lives back home with them. That is what the Foreign Exchange Pro¬ gram is all about. 32 Seniors Dancing with his American mother, Mrs. Dorton, Henrik Johansen seems to have adjusted well to American life. Though schools here are different from those in his native land of Denmark, he is really enjoying the change.

Who knows, maybe one of these eleven will go on to become President of the United States. Where the Boys Are The purpose of Boys’ State was to inform young men about t o enter the senior year more about the government of Virginia through experience. Boys from all over the state participated in a realistic approach workshop dealing with the running of the state government. Each participant was placed into one of twelve cities where he became a delegate. The boys could run for offices within their city, or they could campaign for state offices. They ran for mayor sheriff, city council and even garbage men. If they chose they ran for governor, lieutenant governor or attorney general. They also were elected to the House of Representatives and State Senate w here laws were made for the whole group to follow during the week. At night and during the afternoon the delegates attended lec¬ tures given by various guests. The president of Lynchburg College, the Director of Admissions from Virginia Tech, the Lieutenant Governor from North Carolina, and Charles Robb, the Governor of Virginia were some of the guest speakers. When the boys were not working developing their own government or not attending lec¬ tures, they spent their free time attending classes in parliamentary procedures, CPR, and public speaking. If they chose they could participate in city sports including softball, tennis, racquetball, and basketball. The caliber of leadership represented from across the state was impressive.

The Senior Class pulled together to make our Mock Election a great success. Election ’84 The American Government classes staged a Mock Election in order to give the students at Potomac a feeling of how a real election works. As the preparations for the mock election pro¬ gressed and the real 1984 election drew near, seniors involved in these classes became very interested in who was the best candidate for each political position. Topics of the deficit, abortion, tax cuts and the economy were even debated between seniors at their lunch tables; where anything but weekend ac¬ tivities were rarely discussed. The mock election was held at Potomac on Tuesday, Oc¬ tober 30, 1984. Seniors arrived at the school an hour and a half early to set up the dessert table which was filled with cookies, brownies, and punch to be served to the many expected guests. They were also responsible for registering people to vote and for passing out mock ballots. During the election, volunteer students represented the various candidates by presenting speeches concerning the ma¬ jor issues. Each person in attendance cast his ballot upon leav¬ ing the building. The result was an overwhelming Republican victory. The effectiveness of the mock election proved to everyone the ability of the senior class to work together. The class of 1985 received many favorable comments on their efforts. Antonio R. Howard Valerie D.

At Potomac Senior High School, the personalities of many different seniors were shown through per¬ sonalized license plates and the car itself be it the color, make, year or condition (interior or exterior). Ban¬ danas, shoes, stuffed animals and various other things were found dangling from the rear-view mirror. Bumper stickers with slogans and team names were items found on the cars. Whatever was used, cars became another way to identify the seniors at Potomac.

At the end of the year, some students are amazed at what they find after cleaning out what has filled their locker for the school year. Home, Sweet, Home! Some Seniors chose to make the school day less dull and tiresome by adding a “homey” touch to their lockers. Decorating your locker with pictures of friends and reminders brightens up the day. A High School Necessity “Do you remember me? I was prob¬ ably your biggest necessity in high school. (No, not your mother!) 1 was your trusty locker. Have you ever wondered what you would have done without me? 1 was your home away from home. I held all your books, clothes and whatever else you threw in¬ to me. For those of you who suffered from fatigue from no sleep the night before, I was a place to lean on so you would not fall down. But most of all, 1 was your permanent excuse when you were late for class. How many times did you say, “My locker wouldn’t open!” At least ten, but who’s counting? Okay, I agree, maybe I wasn’t big enough for you and maybe I was sometimes hard to open, but we all have our faults and you couldn’t have made it through the school year without me!” Keith Mayfield V1CA, Photography Club 9, 10, Science Club 9, 10, 11, 12, Drama Club 12 Linda Maziekus Cheerleading 9, Pantherettes 10, 11, SC A Representatives 9, 10, 11, 12 Marie McDonald Junior Civitans 9, 12, FBLA 9, 10, 11, 12 (Officer 12), Crew Club 10, 11 Tracy McGinnis Volleyball 9,10,11,12, Softball 9, 10, 11, 12, SADD 11, 12 Virginia McNeils Clifford Meadows Lynda Mersing; “Shellie” FBLA 12, Treble Choir 9, 10, 11, Miss Potomac Pageant 11 Christine Michelini; “Gumby” Cheerleading 10, 11, 12, Junior Civitans 10, 11, 12, National Honor Society 11, 12, SCA Representative 1 1, Teen Counseling 11,12 (Team Leader 12), Signet 10, 11, 12, Powder Puff Football 11, 12, Who’s Who in American High Schools 12 Robin Mickett Art Club 9, 10, 11, 12 Arthur Milbert: “Artie” Football 9, 10, 11, 12, Indoor Track 10, 11, 12, Outdoor Track 9, 10, 1 1, 12, SCA 10, 12, SADD 11,12, Teen Counseling 11,12 James Miller II; “Ducie” Football 9, 10, Junior Civitans 11, 12, Debate and Forensics 12, Computer Club 12, Who’s Who Among American High School Students 12, Powder Puff Football Cheerleader 11, Class Treasurer 11, 12, National Honor Society 11,12 (Vice President — 12), Boys’ State 11 Jennene Miller Seniors 41 Sean Miller Drama Club 11, 12, Concert Choir 9, 10, 11, 12 Douglas Misenko; “Doug” Basketball 9, 10, I 1, 12, National Honor Society 11, 12, Junior Civitans I 1, Computer Club 12, Who ' s Who Among American High School Students 12, Class Representatives 12, Class President 1 1, Class Vice President 10, Powder Puff Cheerleader 11, 12, Boys ' State 11 Jewell Mitchell FHA 9. 10. 1 l.SADD 11, Drama Club 9, DECA9, 10, 11, 12, Concert Choir 9, 10, II, 12, Treble Choir 9, 10, 11, 12 Scott Moberley Science Club 11,12 (President 12), Marching Band 11,12, Symphonic Band 9, 10, 11, 12, Stage Band 11,12 Arnold Molinari; “Scott” “Penguin” Football 9, 10, 1 1, 12, Key Club 9, 10, 1 1, 12 (Sgt. at Arms 1 1, President I 2), Class Representative 12, Teen Counseling 11, Weight Lifting 9, 10, 1 1, 12, Party Beasts 11,12 Richard Moran Football 9, Chess Club 9 Julie Morley Junior Civitans 9, 11, 12 Elizabeth Morris; “Bess” Pantherettes 10, 11, 12, SC A 9, 10, 11, 12, Junior Civitans 11, 12, DECA 12 Carrie Moss Track 9, 10, Tennis 10, 11, 12, Homeroom Representatives 10, Junior Civitans 12, Band 9, 10, 11 Jeannette Mullany; “Buffy” Cheerleading 9, 10, 11, 12, Soccer 9, 10, 11, 12, SCA 9, 10, 1 1, Junior Civitans 9, 10, 11, 12, Pep Club 9 Pamela Murphy VICA 12 Brian Nary VICA 11, 12, DECA 10 Francais Nary Anthony Nattania; “Tony” Wrestling 9, 10, 11, 12, Football 9, 10, 11, 12 Arthur Newman Katherine Nicely; “Kathy” “Kat” Flag Corps 9, 10, Photography 11, FBLA 12 Lisa Nicolosi Mark Novitsky; “Ski” D.E.10,12 Angela Nutton; “Angie” PowderPuff Football 11, Statistician 1 I Megan OBrian Tennis 10, 11, 12, Junior Civitans 10, 11, 12 42 Seniors Flying Mike Ausley poses beside his Cherokee piper at the Woodbridge airport. This senior enjoys the hobby of flying. J High S5S3C WARRIOR II Among the many interests of the Senior Class, flying seems to be unique. However, for seniors Mike Ausley and Scott Moberly, flying is a way of life. Mike began flying lessons at the age of fifteen and flew for a year with an instruc¬ tor. Then, the following year when he was sixteen, he received his student license which enabled him to solo. Finally at seventeen, he was able to take others for a ride after he received his private license. Mike now flys a Beechcraft Bonanza V-35 and hopes to become a professional pilot. Scott began taking lessons when he joined the Quantico Flying Club. However, all of his ground school was self-taught. About his flying lessons he said, “It was fun when I started flying with an instructor, but the real experience was soloing for the first time.” Scott, like Mike, also received both his student license and his private license. Scott and Mike have experienced the feel¬ ing of freedom that only the skies can offer. This freedom has them flying high.

With all of the student sup¬ port backing them, the Junior officers were able to accomplish a great deal. Heidi Hinkamp played the always necessary leadership role of President, and, her right hand helper, Susan Vowell did an excellent job. Also voted into office were Cindy Ruffner as Secretary, and Missy Cadigan as Treasurer. This all-girl team did the Juniors proud this year at PSHS. It always gives us a good feeling to have competence at the top. Heidi Hinkamp acted as Junior Class President throughout the year. Her two previous years of office holding experience were definitely an asset. Vice-President is a position of importance, and Susan Vowell was fully qualified to fill it; and fill it well. Secretary is a busy role and Cindy Ruffner did a fine job of splitting her time between cross country running, school work, and her Class position. Holding onto the money is always the Treasurer. Missy Caddigan was also seen holding onto positions in volleyball, basketball, and softball throughout the year. 52 Juniors David Agatone John Albers James Alexander Lisa Alonao Damon Alvarez Kathy Anderson Anne Bartosch Nikki Bas Ann Beamer Jeff Belcher Mike Belforte Cesar Benavides Michelle Banks Todd Banks Steve Barber Susan Barger Chris Barko Mindi Barrett Bill Bennett Laura Best Cheryl Beyer Rick Biama Diana Biddle Joe Blake Richard Blanchfield Kimo Bockon Tracy Bombalski Robert Boonstoppel Theresa Boulden Windy Bowman Paula Boykin Nina Bradshaw Tami Brandt Johnna Branham Keith Brown Maria Brown Tracy Bruggen Renee Brunson Nickie Bryan Garnetta Bumbrey Lori Burchard Jessee Buroess Juniors 53 Winners Take All “And the winners of Spirit Week are The Class of 1986 — the Juniors!” Accepting for the class during half time at the homecoming game, was Junior Class Vice President Susan Vowell. Awarded was a plaque which accumulates the winners each year, and one hundred fif¬ ty dollars. Classified as the most spirited group to enter Potomac, the class of 1986 certainly deserved to win the spirit award during the week of homecoming. The events leading up to this award were the purchase of spirit links, dress up days, the homecoming floats, and the decorating of the halls. Each class was given the opportunity to purchase spirit links for a nickel during spirit week. The links were hung up on a designated wall in the cafeteria, with each class having their own wall. By the end of the week, the wall most “link-covered” was that belonging to the Juniors, who also managed to outdress everybody else. They wore their best, grubbiest, most gangster-like, and school col¬ ors to whip everybody in that competition too. Then, there was also the homecoming float, which portrayed a black panther pointing a machine gun at a yellow jacket, representative of Osbourn Park, and the hall decorating contest set to the theme of gangsters, in which the Juniors also stole sweet victory. Responsible for all the activities undertook by the class were Mr. Wesley Jones, who has been a sponsor of the Junior Class for three years, and Mrs. Polombo, co¬ sponsor for her first year. They, along with officers Heidi Hinkamp, Susan Vowell, Unhi Chi, and Missy Cad- digan, and the cooperation of class members have made the class of 1986 a big winner.

The hall decorating contest was one of the many spirit contests that the juniors won. Stacy Talbott and Staci Crawford show the crowd their best smiles. They were chosen as the Junior Class princesses for Homecoming. Juniors 55 Watching intently, junior Ann Beamer catches a glimpse of the pep rally. Juniors proved that they had much spirit during pep rallies. Knowing how to stay warm during a Friday night football game is by showing spirit. Stacey Talbot, a junior, does just that. Cheering on the sidelines, junior varsity cheerleader Don¬ na Dorton promotes spirit for those in the stands. The class of 1986 was very supportive of athletics.

We’ve got spirit, what about you!’’ That was a cheer often heard echoing across the gym during both pep rallies and various sports events this year. An excited group of juniors could always be counted on to show their panther pride with sounding cheer. The Class of 86 has proved themselves to be a competitive class throughout 84-85. For the second year in a row they have dominated Potomac’s annual Spirit Week. By winning first place in the float, hall, and spirit link contests, the juniors made their determined spirit shine. They have grown into a class that is worthy of respect. Here’s wishing them the best in their last year at Potomac High. When the class of ’86 came to Potomac, they brought with them, as Freshmen, a spirit like never seen before at this school. Today as Juniors, they are still showing a spirit that has escalated over the years.

Angela Stuber is turning the new ring of Sarah Kern. It seemed to take a cer¬ tain amount of patience to get those rings turned the full 86 times. Quite a few Juniors gave up, or did not bother to even try. Kristy Hall David Haller John Haneklau Robinetta Hanifan Elizabeth Hansen Tracy Hansen Chuck Hansohn Michelle Hansohn Michael Harrison William Hatfield Heather Haworth Shannon Haworth 58 Juniors Rings, Rings, Rings Anticipation was evident on the faces of the Junior Class members as class rings were ordered in September. They looked forward to December when their rings would be seen for the first time. Immediately after the rings were handed out, the tradition began. Special thought was put into choosing both the first and last per¬ son to turn their ring. Choosing the one special design that displays your personality is a one time experience. It is the most personal purchase students make in high school. This is because one is able to put a touch of him her self into a unique ring. But beware Juniors!! Ask just about any Senior how simple it is to lose your little piece of gold or silver. Or, perhaps, have someone lose it for you. Many people will experience losing a ring before they make it to graduation. Whether or not you go all out, or decide to keep the expense of your ring to a minimum, choosing a class ring is one of the special things you do in high school. It is a Junior tradition that most everyone looks forward to. This hand is valued at well over $1,100! Class rings can be quite expensive, but Juniors don’t seem to care too much, especially when Mom and Dad are paying!

Andy Dearing, a junior, and his date were one of the many supporters of the traditional dance. Baked sales brought in lots of money for the juniors. Because the home baked food was often better tasting then pre¬ packaged snacks sold at school, most of the food went fast!

Which one should it be? These were just a few of the choices juniors faced. Although they still had one more year of high school left, many decisions must be made early. This year was no exception. Juniors questioned whether or not to go to college. If they did decide to go, then questions of where to go and whether grades and SAT scores were high enough came into being. More than half of the juniors planned to at¬ tend college and the most common thought of majors were law, fashion, medicine, and business. Others felt that they would like to take a break and just “bum” around for a while. Still others decided on working, apprenticeships and even marriage. With these choices, juniors received a small taste of reality and what was in store for them in the years to come. We wish the juniors the best of luck and hope that they make the right choice to lead them to a happy and suc¬ cessful future. What Will Become of Them? One of the careers being pursued by juniors is music. Paul Pasek, David Agatone, and Robert Drennan, all members of Potomac’s band, have thought about careers in music. 62 Krista Johnson listens as a guidance counselor briefs students on career possibilities. The school works extra hard assisting students with their future plans. Some students plan on attending college. Those that do go must have at least a “C” average. Jennifer Evans, a college bound junior, works to maintain her outstanding grades which can be very beneficial in getting an acceptance to the college of your choice. By taking mechanical drawing, Frank Ward works toward his chosen career. Many courses offered to students are a diversion from basic academics and at the same time, assist them with their future goals.

Dressed as an elf, Liz passed out candy to children. Working in the library everyday can be helpful as well as educational. Richard During works in the library check¬ ing out books, and as seen here, filing books. “WANTED: Students to work, short hours of easy work with high pay, no ex¬ perience necessary” This ad was unfortunately left un¬ found by most students. Despite the many unemployed students, a few held jobs with fast food restaurants and movie theaters. Very few with part-time jobs had plans to continue working after school let out. Students, especially the juniors who had just come of working age, felt that having a job that required much time, took away from their last few teenage years. The most important factor that students with part-time jobs value is their pay check. These earnings went toward savings for college, cars, clothes, dating, summe r activities; the basic necessities of high school life. One junior said, “I’m working during high school mainly for money because with the education I have now, the selection of jobs opened to me is not satisfying.” Though most jobs may not be the pefect one everyone dreams of, they are helpful with future careers and good job experience.

Moms and Dads never seem to know when to quit, right Denise? Almost Paradise Susie and Bob: A Night to Remember SUSIE BOB 9 a.m. Susie awakes with butterflies in her stomach. Bob is sleeping. 10 a.m. Susie last minute shops, looking for pink earrings to match her pink dress and shoes Bob is still sleeping. 11 a.m. Susie files her nails and paints them pink. ZZZ! 1 p.m. It’s lunch time but Susie wants to fit into her dress, so she doesn’t eat. Bob awakens!! He pigs out on pizza and popcorn. 2 p.m. Susie gets her hair styled. Bob watches “Tarzan” re-runs. 3 p.m. Susie cries at her hair style. Bob watches MTV. 5 p.m. Susie dresses and stares at herself in the mirror. Bob falls asleep watching “Leave It to Beaver.” 5:30 p.m. Susie is still staring. Bob wakes up; hops into shower. 6 p.m. Susie waits for Bob, looking out the window; getting mad. Bob dresses, splashes on Dad’s “Brut and grabs the pink wrist corsage mommy brought home for Susie. 6:30 p.m. Bob finally arrives. Bob gives Susie her corsage. Susie is angry with Bob because he is late. She accidentally sticks Bob’s boutonniere to his skin, not his jacket. “Sorry!” 6:45 p.m. Bob and Susie argue on the way to dinner. 7:30 p.m. Bob and Susie arrive at “Costalot” for dinner. 7:45 p.m. Susie tries to figure what she has been served. Bob pigs out, telling Susie that she had better like it for the money it was costing him. 8:45 p.m. Susie and Bob arrive at the prom. Immediately Susie sees a girl dressed in an identical dress as her own. 8:47 p.m. Susie and Bob go to see a movie instead. Although this is just a humorous way at looking at all things that have to be done for a prom, there is much time and effort put into the preparations weeks before as well as on the day itself. The junior class had the responsibility of putting together the prom for Potomac. They had to decide where and when it would take place, who would provide the music, what refreshments should be served, the decorations. .. and the list went on. To pay for all this, the junior class had to have a number of fundraisers, including candy sales, and dances. They put a lot of hard work into it and those who attended the prom saw this.

Like .. ”, “Hey, Baby!”, “I’m never on time.”, “How was your weekend?”, “She’s crazy!”, “I’ll never get this done.”, “How embarrassing!!” Throughout a typical day the mood of a student can range from dead tired to ecstatic. Negative moods can be provoked by a number of things, such as sleeping in late, missing the bus, a faul¬ ty locker, getting a tardy or two, not having your homework done, achieving unsavory grades, sitting next to a troublemaker, winter-time fire drills, and the plain fact that it’s Monday morn¬ ing, again! On the positive side, a pleasant to awesome mood can be brought on by a snow day, or teacher workday, receiving the rare A, or maybe even a B. Classroom parties, gossip in the halls, jokes during class, the lunchtime entertainment, (as when the dropping of a tray echoes throughout the cafeteria), and that final bell on a Friday afternoon. Well, whatever the moods, or the cuase of them, one thing is for sure . . . everybody experiences them. Good or bad, they put an extra spark into an otherwise zombie-like day. “What can I say?”, says Missy Caddigan during a science lab. A feeling of heightened spirits is often present when students grab a chance to goof off.

Morgan Richards is grading papers for a teacher, and trying to get it done correctly. Nickie Bryan, Melanie Hernandez, and Becky Sloan are all lined up, and ready to get in¬ volved in some further gossip. Finding out who’s going with who and what so-n-so is wearing is a never ending passtime in the halls of Potomac. Demonstrating the not uncommon “laid back” look is Joe Shearer. Juniors are constantly seen relaxing in the halls. Holding up walls seems like it must be a Junior hobby.

The sophomore year is the last time many students have the opportunity to take part in an organized physical fitness program or to learn the rudiments of organized sports. The need to keep our bodies in good physical shape and release many mental frustrations does not end in the tenth grade as evidenced by the number of health clubs and spas found in our neighborhoods across the country. People who cannot afford the money or who live too far from the health clubs may take advan¬ tage of physical fitness programs via one of the exercise programs on television or plan their own program at home by purchasing a cassette or record usually accompanied by an instruction book. The most prevelent problem is that many of us need someone physically present to encourage, badger or drag us through the ex¬ ercise ordeal no matter how strongly we believe it is for our own welfare. These students compete for the chance to return the volleyball to their opponents. Physical Education offers the opportunity to build coordination and flexibility while having fun competing against your peers.

Ever since the first kit he received from his father as a child, Ervin has been building model aircraft. All are constructed from kits because building one from scratch is too time consuming. As it is now, he hardly has time to work on those from kits because school takes up most of his time. The model he is currently working on has been under construction for the past year and a half. He has only one radio controlled airplane but plans to build others in the future. He also has others that do not fly; they are merely for display. These airplanes can be flown in any open areas, mainly parks, abandoned farms and fields; however, permission must first be gained before flying them in park areas. There are other restric¬ tions on flying these aircraft. There is a legal limit to the size of the airplane, depending on the state. The average wingspan is 15 feet and the craft is powered by a 020 engine or a chainsaw engine. When asked if he had ever lost any, Ervin said that it had happened a couple of times. They got caught in drafts or thermals and drifted out of radio-range, to be carried off into oblivion. Model aircraft can be flown in competition, but Ervin hasn’t yet. He prefers to fly them purely for sport. S ays Ervin of his hobby, “It’s what you make of it. If you do a lousy job on a plane, it will fly lousy.” William Chapman Carol Chase Sophomore Ervin Beekman has a hobby of a different kind; he is shown here putting some finishing touches on the body of a radio controlled airplane.

Here at PSHS, CPR is taught in P.E. 10 to all Sophomores. The students are given a chance, through book work and actual practicing on “dummies” to become certified in CPR. The class was conducted in two parts. First, the students read and answered questions in the CPR book, and second they prac¬ ticed the procedure learned in that chapter. They would then demonstrate the procedure to the teacher so that they would receive credit for what they had learnerd. Upon successful com¬ pletion of the class, a student could receive an official CPR card. Students who wish to be employed as life guards or camp counselors are usually required to be certified in CPR, so they found it advantageous to take the class. Others took the class for personal knowledge and experience. Britt Frank and Kirsten Kelly work as partners on a CPR “dummy” to learn the technique and gain experience. While one partner reads the steps of the procedure from a book, the other practices on a working mannequin. 78 Sophomores Tom Jones Mary Kabza Alice Kalaskas Myung Kang Beth Katzoff Patrick Keady Kirsten Kelly Leo Kenney Thomas Kenny Christina Kepus Tony Khanna Ken Kile Ted King Cheryl Kirkpatrick Stephen Kiser Joe Komisar Kathleen Lafferty Darcy Lamb Lori Lambert Dawn Lang Melissa Lanier Mary Larock Mike Larrabee James Lascody Mary Lavelle Deanna Law Wyndy Ledford David Lee Hyunmee Lee Linda Lee With Angie Birch and Tammie Crawford assisting, Steve Reza finds the correct placement of the hands for CPR.

Driver’s Ed. began in the classroom during physical education, where students learned about speed limits, road signs, and traffic signals. However, the real excite¬ ment did not begin until they hit the road. For some, that was exactly what happened, but it was not the road that actually got hit. The driving range was the first driving experience for many sophomores. While on the range, student drivers learned the techniques of driving forward, the very tricky business of going in reverse, and the finer points of parallel parking. They also learned that the radio stations were much more entertaining and less nervewracking than the driver’s ed. teachers barking from the observation tower, “We aren’t in Europe, car number three. We drive on the right side of the road here!” Beware! This action could result in being banned from driver education and not receiving your driver’s license sometime in the near future. After completing the number of hours required on the driving range, sophomores tested their driving abilities on the open road. They drove in cars specially marked “Student Driver,” for the safety and sanity of others on the road. It was here, where most driver’s ed. teachers, more than once, were known to break into a cold sweat and see their lives pass before their eyes. Seeing many students proudly display their new licenses from the Virginia DMV gives evidence to the fact that the majority of Potomac’s student drivers pass the class and go on to become responsible drivers. 80 Sophomores Waiting for her ride to be over, Maria Natale sits strapped in the “Convincer,” a new facility this year to teach drivers the importance of seatbelts.

The students of Potomac have formed quite a few of these bands of their own. Although talent is an important aspect of success, it isn’t the on¬ ly thing that is needed to have a good band. When you’re in a band at such an early point in your life, it’s important to get an early start so that you can develop your skills. The sophomores in the heavy metal band “Blitzkrieg” have done just that. They feel that the early start they had will really help them in the future. Three of the band’s members attend PSHS. They are: bassist, Bernie Conatser; guitarist, Dave Martin; and drummer, Steve Zacharias. Scott Bennett, the band’s singer, goes to Langley High in McLean, Virginia. The distance between Scott and everyone else hasn’t ever stopped the practice sessions or the big plans for the future. The band places a heavy emphasis on original material, but they also perform songs that they copied from some of the bands that have influenced their style the most. “It’s more fun to play a song that you created than to sing something that belongs to someone else,” agreed the whole band. They hope to eventually perform for money even though they haven’t had that opportunity yet. It is already quite evident, however, that “Blitzkrieg” is a bright spot in the talent of the class of’87. “Blitzkrieg” spends an afternoon in Bernie’s basement at yet another practice. Althougl practicing is hard work, the band members enjoy long jam sessions. 82 Sophomores Tina Summa Erika Suski Dawn Swecker Stephen Secord John Setunsky Steven Sheffi eld Anne Shelton Wendy Silverstrand Barbara Simmons Mark Simmons Chris Simpleman Valla Simpso Devi Sinva Patty Smith Reginald Smith Sandi Smith John Snyder Greg Solt Roger Sommers Christine Sowala Christine Spade Christina Spitler Peter Stapor Cindy Stebbins Linda Strawderman Mark Strawn Richard Strohl The timing is essential in the quality of a song.

For those who do not know, our masked panther was Sharon Zeetes, a sophomore. When asked why she wanted to be the school mascot, Sharon replied, “I wanted to represent the school. It was a lot of fun and quite an experience.” Sharon remembers the first football game of the season. She said, “The cheerleaders had no idea who the panther was going to be. I ran onto the field and surprised them all.” While cheering the crowd and team on to victory was exciting, it was not aiways very comfortable. In the panther costume it gets very hot and the wire mouth can be almost unbearable at times. But it was all worth it for Sharon, especially when people came to her for her autograph! She hopes to be the mascot again next Hidden behind the panther mask, Sharon Zeetes, our school mascot excites spirit in fans at our varsity sports games. year. 84 Sophomores Besides being the school mascot, Sharon Zeetes has many other interests, among them, playing the guitar Jackie Watson John Wayne Jeff Weaver Travis Welpott Chrissy Weston Christine Wharton - Pflh Pat Wicklien Joell Wiggins Leslie Wilfong Marjorie Willard Leonard Williams Marc Williams Paula Williams Sid Williams Evelyn Willingham Ben Willis Rob Willis Shalane Willis Jeff Wise Karen Wolson JeffWolter Denise Woods Lori Woolls Nicole Worthy David Wylde Kim Ylisela Steve Zacharias Christine Zagars Sharon Zeetes Jeff Zovak Sophomores 85 Donna Abel Stacia Acker Max Acker Mia Aitizer Mike Alberts Alleyne Ignacia Johnica Alverez Mariano Amezquita Bobie Analin Andy Anderson Kris Anderson Lisa Anderson Mike Anderson Brian Andrews Michelle Antonik Mike Arnold Tammy Arrington Frank Austin Joe Austin Steven Baggott John Bahorich George Baily Mike Bailey Virgil Bailey Chris Baker Tina Baker Nicole Baldwin Kim Ball Veronica Ban Darlene Bardon Freshman Fave’s It’s always interesting to see who the most-liked singers, songs, radio stations, and T.V. shows are. The members of the Class of ’88 were polled this year about the things that have a lot to do with being a teenager. Here are the results: The most liked ... . . .radio station — 105 WAV A . . . rock group — Duran Duran . . . song — Jungle Love . . . T.V. show — The Cosby Show .. . soap opera — General Hospital . . . ’84 movie — Beverly Hills Cop . .. actor — Eddie Murphy ... actress — Heather Locklear .. . fast food restaurant — McDonald’s ... pro. football team — The Washington Redskins The poll had very good response with almost every freshman returning his ballot. It showed that even though the opinions are very different, everyone has his or her own opi¬ nion about everything. 88 Freshmen Right: Freshman class officers Christy Lavelle and DeAnna Clemmar discuss some class business.

Entering high school for the first time can be a frightening experience to freshmen. To alleviate the confusion, the freshmen had the school all to themselves on Orientation Day. It gave the newcomers a chance to get lost without being subjected to the sneers and jeers of the upperclassmen. After hearing a welcoming address by the principal, Mr. Ferrebee, they were given a copy of their schedule of classes, met with their teachers, told how much work is in store for them, and then were sent home to recuperate and ponder the mysteries of high school before coming back to work in earnest. It was a great op¬ portunity for them to become acquainted with their new home away from home.

It gets better!!! I remember all the teasing from upperclassmen. The endless “So you’re a freshman.” I thought “freshmen” was a disease. But it gets beter! I remember being lost: boy was I lost! For the first month of school, I carried a map. But it got better! Then the fun began such as club initiations. Because I was a freshman, the up¬ perclassmen were more “creative” with their slaves. But it got better! I remember thinking, “I will never be a Senior. I won’t make it.” But look at me now. I made it! Those big upperclassmen weren’t so bad, once I became a sophomore. Now I’m a big Senior. I worked for this title. I endured so much to get here. But it’s kind of ironic. I’m here, but I don’t feel big. This year has been fun, but scary too. There are so many decisions to make; school, jobs, money, and they all must be made before graduation. But the worst part of being a Senior is that next year, you’re a freshman again! I’ll tell you, freshmen, there’s nothing like being a Senior. The glory doesn’t last too long, but it’s worth waiting for. So hang in there and good Luck! Sincerely yours, A Senior Wandering the halls during a class is Susie Camou. Pass-checking teachers were hard to get around this year at Potomac. Freshmen 93 Our Future Stars Freshman sports or athletes aren’t given very much atten¬ tion, but they are much more important than a lot of people realize. The ninth graders that are on the Freshman and J.V. teams now, but will one day be on the varsity team. They will be the new winners after the older ones have graduated and moved on to other things. Starting early is important so that athletes can become skill¬ ed in their sport and get ready for the competition that they will encounter as they get older. Sports teach from the very beginning about how to handle competition and pressure. They also help you to teach yourself to have discipline. The Class of ’88 has shown that they are dedicated athletes. Keep up the good work! You’re the future of varsity sports at Potomac. right: Carol Shirley performs one of her routines at a meet.

What are freshmen most famous for? All of the ques¬ tions they ask! Freshmen seem to have a natural talent for asking questions, especially at the beginning of their ninth grade year. Things like: “Where’s room 201?”, “Why is this bathroom locked?”, “What time is lunch?”, “What’s I.S.S.?”, “Do we have to take showers in P.E.?” Although the upperclassmen think that most of the questions are pretty ridiculous, they are usually tolerant about answering them. After all, it wasn’t very long ago that they were wandering around asking the exact same questions. So have hope, freshmen! Pretty soon you’ll be answering those questions instead of asking them. Some of Miss Jones’ freshmen spend a day doing research in the library.

Among the lockers and books are the familiar football jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, sweatshirts, and jean jackets. But did you ever consider the one thing that many students must tolerate at one time or another in their high school years? Yes, braces can be seen everywhere. For the most part, they can be found among the underclassmen, but there are always those few Seniors that can’t seem to get rid of them. From the day that they go on, the countdown starts to the day that they will come off. For some, it may take just a few months for their teeth to become perfectly straight, but for an unlucky many, the braces may be what seem like a permanent smile for years to come. Said one freshman, “Getting your braces is really depressing, but the future looks brighter when you think of how your smile will look when they come off.” Patience is a virtue which is needed when braces are con¬ cerned. The agony of orthodontist appointments, retainers, mouth pieces, and not being able to chew gum will seem very 98 Freshmen worthwhile when the day comes that you can show off your new smile. m � • ' ■ ' ip,; mSM fits!?® Andy Warren and Michelle Velasquez flash their silver smiles.

Adjusting to high school may be difficult, but it can seem twice as hard when you are a “new kid in town.” Fitting in with peers, finding friends, and getting involved in activities are ways to adjust to a new place. One new Freshman said, “One thing I remember about my first day at Potomac was all the friendly people who helped me to find my way around and feel welcome.” Most newcomers will agree that entering a new school is a scary ex¬ perience. Many different anxieties are felt, such as the fear of being alone and not knowing anyone. Coming to a new school can also be a chance to meet more people and make new friends. Stated one freshman, “I was afraid that I would not have many friends at school, but I proved myself wrong! I’ve made plenty of friends at Potomac.” Potomac has shown itself to be a friendly school to old and new students alike. Once a student finds people with whom he or she feels comfortable, “new kids in town” make themselves at home. and Re-T akes Karen Drolet Joseph During Summer Frost Stacy Lichtenfels Wendee Neubauer John Nix Judy Parish Asif Shaw Anthony Shahan Debbie Shepard Caro!

He has been involved in teaching and administration for twelve years. In those twelve years he has had ex¬ perience with students from various backgrounds. Teaching four years at Georgetown Middle School, he worked with children of severa l politi¬ cians, including President Carter’s daughter, Amy. He also taught at Lincoln Junior High School in the District of Columbia which had the area’s highest crime rate. Mr. Hamlin explained, “There were times when I actually feared for my own safety, and I had volunteered to be there!” Before coming to Potomac he served as assistant principal at Woodbridge High School. Comparing Potomac to Woodbridge, Mr. Hamlin stated, “Potomac students come from a broader range of backgrounds, but other than that, kids are basical¬ ly the same everywhere.” When asked about his first impression of Potomac he remarked, “I thought the school was much too small!” Mr. Hamlin’s one key to success is: “Be fair yet firm and the kids will respect you for it.” Potomac was fortunate to receive an administrator with his ex¬ perience and positive attitude. Mr. Hamlin shows his Potomac spirit as he shows who is number 1! Potomac was very fortunate to have Mr. Hamlin as our new administrator.

One person in particular, Miss Pat Droves, takes a great deal of pride in her work. You would be getting more than you bargained for to ask who Miss Droves is or what she does at Potomac. Not only is she a great counselor, but she is also the sponsor of both the Pantherettes and the Teen Counselors. Miss Droves was also responsible for starting Junior Civitans at Potomac. Outside of Potomac, Miss Droves was President of Delta Kappa Gamma, an International Honor Society for Women Educators and a night school coordinator for NVCC. When asked whey she in¬ volves herself in so many activities, Miss Drove replied, “I like the excitement of working with peo¬ ple of all ages.” Furthermore, she feels that student involvement adds to high school education and personal growth. She enjoys seeing students involved in activities and contributing to their school. Those who know Miss Droves now find it hard to believe that she was ever shy. Miss Droves received her MA in counseling at the University of Va. “The hardest thing to face about being a counselor is the fact that you cannot solve students’ problems for them, but only help them to help themselves,” she says. Although being a counselor may not always be easy, Miss Droves enjoys being one. She feels she is a good judge of character, and that she has the right frame that is needed to deal with teenagers. Being involved in so many activities and being successful at it is not a simple task. It takes time, determination, and the will to succeed, as well as the desire to help others. It takes a special person to do all these things. It takes a special lady; that lady is Pat Droves. 108 Faculty ■HHHl .rv 0R K Mf ! .-M k F 1 ” u ] A counselor’s work is never done.

One such teacher was Mr. James McCoart, better known to some of his students as “Guido.” Mr. McCoart came to Potomac in 1982. He taught Senior government and was assis¬ tant coach for Freshman football and basket¬ ball. His classes were considered fun and much knowledge was gained. He excited students about learning. Mr. McCoart’s opinion of his students was high, “Oh, they’re really good kids,” he often commented. His concerns for his students’ well being was constant. Every Friday, “Have a nice weekend and drive safely” was neatly written on the board. He cared for his students and they cared for him. Mr. McCoart served as Prince William County’s District Chairman to the Boy Scouts of America, was the President of both Dale City Little League and PTO. He was an active member of his church and was a youth leader of the CYO. In 1975 he was selected as the Jaycee Citizen of the year; in 1980 he was named the sixth most influential person in Prince William County. For several years he had been a contributing editor for the “Potomac News.” On April 8, 1985, Mr. McCoart died of a heart attack at the age of 53. He will be sore¬ ly missed. 110 Faculty A caring disposition radiates.

Or what kind of person would give of his time free¬ ly to be at every home sports event to act as the announcer and keeps score? The kind of person to do this would have such qualities as kind¬ ness, selflessness and most of all, dedication. These are the qualities displayed by Mr. David Kite. Born and raised in Virginia, Mr. Kite at¬ tended Shenendoah High School and later went on to Berea College in Kentucky. He did his post-graduate work at James Madison University. Before his graduate work, Mr. Kite went back to his high school and taught social science. He eventually found his way to nor¬ thern Virginia and taught sixth grade at Occo- quan Elementary. He then became the prin¬ cipal of Featherstone Elementary School. After serving as the principal for nineteen years, Mr. Kite decided that his heart was still in teaching, and that’s when Potomac first en¬ countered this fine gentleman. In 1980, Mr. Kite came to Potomac Senior H.S. and began teaching World History. When Potomac finally had juniors and seniors, he taught American Studies I and Sociology and continues to teach these subjects at present. Mr. Kite conducts his classes with strict con¬ trol. He lays down the rules at the beginning of class and expects students to follow. Although he is strict, he communicates with the students helping them to understand what he is trying to get across. This technique also helps the s tudents to feel comfortable to express their opinions and debate topics in his class. Although there are times when he stands corrected and times when he begs to differ, one has found that there is a fine line between a teacher and a friend. Mr. David Kite has pro¬ ven to be a friend to the students and an asset to Potomac Senior High School. Mr. Kite peeks out from underneath a card given to him.

They began the season under much pressure as it was predicted by several newspapers that Potomac would end with an undefeated record. This caus¬ ed each game to be intense for the team as well as exciting for the Panther fans. The team was the first to go to the regional play-offs, where they unfortunate¬ ly lost to a very strong team from Pulaski. Coach Bill Brown explained, “It was dif¬ ficult because the boys had to travel five and a half hours to get there, and because of the tremendous facilities at Pulaski; who had a home crowd of ten thousand fans.” Although they did not win in the playoffs, the team could still be proud of their regular season due to the fact that their defense allowed the least amount of points scored against them in the district. At the sports banquet many of the players were presented with various awards including: Most Outstanding Of¬ fensive Player — Quarterback, Mike Berry; Most Outstanding Defensive Player — Defensive back, Larry Mason; Most Improved Player Award — William Jenn¬ ings; and “Mr. Panther” — Lee Wilson.

One of these things wa s the fact that both teams ended their seasons with a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Maybe this was not the best record, but as Junior Varsity coach, Joe Bengier commented, “it was a winning season.” The freshman team was coached by Ron Clarke and assistant coaches, Dave Carr and Jim McCoart, who provided a great deal of help making the season a worthwhile experience. Team members spent about two hours practicing each day throughout the season, something which was a new experience for them. As players for high school they had to face greater athletic competition and ability than that of middle school. Although the idea of freshman football was “to have some fun and hopefully learn a little something in the process,” coach Clarke revealed, “we would like to have done better, but mistakes and a lack of concentration from time to time cost us some close ballgames.” There were many outstanding players on the team, and Most Valuable Player went to Chuck Coles. Also noted for being an excellent kicker was Jerry Bahowich. Mr. Clarke feels that many of the players have a great deal of potential for the future, and that many have made great im¬ provements through the year. “Potential is what is possible, and if these players will work hard, they can set their own goals.” For most of them, their goal was to continue playing football next year; however, at the junior varsity level. The J.V. team was described by coach Joe Bengier as “steadily improving throughout the year.” Composing a brilliant defense for the team were Gary and Brian Martin, better known as the “M M Connection.” They contributed a great deal to the winning season as did Mark Milan, who, according to Mr. Bengier was an “outstand¬ ing athlete and a great quarterback,” and Cujo Crain who also helped make up the “Sensational Sophomore Line.” Usually, players who showed remarkable ability were moved up to the varsity level. Some team members, like Dan Dubreuil, felt that, “if we had practiced more by ourselves instead of practicing with the varsity, we would have had an even better season.” Next year when these boys play varsity, they’ll have better chance to prove themselves.

Displaying her talent Aura Griffey shows that skillful playing pays off. She was chosen by the Potomac News as Player of the year. The varsity volleyball team captured the Commonwealth District title and the Northwest Region title. They have won thirty straight matches taking sixty of sixty games. Their suc¬ cess did not come without an extreme amount of work. The eight seniors, four juniors, and one sophomore spent a week during the summer at volleyball camp and began practice in earnest immediately after camp. Knowing other teams would be out to end the impressive winning streak, the girls practiced long and hard. After another undefeated season, they went on to the regional play-offs and won the best two out of three games. Because of their impressive season, many team members received recognition awards including four first team places in District and All Area. Girls receiving those honors were: Kim Feltault, Mylene Rowe, Audra Griffey, who was also Channel 20 player of the week; and Aura Griffey, who also made the All Regional Team and was Player of the year. Tracy McGin¬ nis made Commonwealth District second team, while Wendy Hall joined Commonwealth District — honorable mention and All Area — second team and Teresa Conway All Area Team — honorable mention. Congratulations to a well deserving team! We did it! Showing that they were number 1 the girls give a jubilant cheer after a victory.

Bumping Their Way to Victory The freshman volleyball team of 1984 proved to be the most potent in years. With a devastating offense led by Shannon Malone and Lisa Madaris, the frosh team swept by its opponents without a loss. Rocky Anderson, recuperating from a sprained finger, came off the bench to team up with Carrie Rohbacher and Veronica Barr to form an unpenetrable defense. Other invaluable assistance was turned in by Deanna Klemer, Louise Jones, Charmaine Vrendenburg, Christy Lavelle, Tina Summerfield, and Dena Natale. Good work girls! The JV volleyball team, with only four returning players, proved that new talent can be successful talent. Returning players were Nicki Bryan, Jenifer Graves, captain; Liz Lawlor, and Christine Sowala, but were closely followed by (captain and MVP) Cathy Hadley, Heather Cooper, Anne Shelton, Sherrie Patton, and Leslie Wilfong. Other outstanding efforts were put out by first year players Dawn Lang, and Amy Longwitz. Starting practically from scratch, coach Mr. Al Eaton helped the team to work together, and to be the best that they could be. He was always encouraging, and that was one of the main keys to the success of the team’s season. During the season, in the two matches against Stonewall Jackson, Potomac dominated in one game but were defeated in the other game. The lady Panthers challenged the Raiders to a third match to see, or rather prove who was the best, but Stonewall wasn’t willing to take a chance on losing the loose hold of being tied with Potomac for first place.

Larry and Greg were two of five Juniors on the Varsi¬ ty Basketball Team. Although the Boys’ Varsity Basketball team, coached by Ron Clarke, and Marc Maloney as a whole did not have a smashing season, there were many outstanding players and some very close games. Leading the team were Seniors Doug Misenko and Todd Jenkins. Doug finished the season with a 23.4 point game average and is Potomac’s all time career scoring leader with 867 points. In a game against the Woodbridge Vikings, which was lost by only one point, Misenko scored his career high of thirty-five points. His skillful playing led him to be named “Athlete of the Week” in the Potomac News in January. Todd finished the season with a thir¬ teen point game average and was Potomac’s first four year letterman. This was quite an ac¬ complishment for a guy of 5 ' 8. Many young players also saw a lot of playing time this year. Two sophomores, Leonard Williams and James Hartnett, who was moved up from the J.V. team, started throughout the season, and Junior Eddie Fields came through to be the most improved player on the team. Senior Todd Jenkins maintains control of the ball as he heads down the court. Having served on the Varsity Basketball Team since he was a freshman, Todd was one of the top players of the team. 11 f Ltlyi Jpip 3 mtw u FS r ! m i 1 f HB Jr 1 U31 5 1 w MTU ii i ujim Front Row: Leonard Williams, Rob Dulin, Kevin Grayson, Tom Saemann, Todd Jenkins, Manager — Dean Raat.

Leading scorer was a 6 ' 7 sophomore Corey Rowe, averaging 16 points a game. The best outside shooter for the team was Jeff Misenko, and the best ball handler was Mark Milam, Mark Kingston, a freshman, also performed well during the season.

Coach John Jenkins was especially pleased with the girls’ perfor¬ mance in the Annandale Christmas Tour¬ nament, where they beat two high ranked teams, Annandale and Herdon. Dominating most games was a 6 ' 0 senior Mylene Rowe who maintained about a 12.5 point average through the season. She along with another senior Kel¬ ly Fisher and Teresa Conway were high scorers on the team. Another factor contributing to the suc¬ cess of the team was Coach Jenkins, said senior member Kelly Fisher, “Mr. Jenkins is not only a good coach but a good friend!” He along with Assistant Coach Lorraine Palumbo helped the team become what it was . .. and will be.

Meanwhile, other members of the team sit on the sidelines awaiting their turn to play. Following into the footsteps laid down by the Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team, the Freshmen and J.V. teams both had successful seasons. It looks as though they will carry on this “winning tradition in years to come. With much enthusiasm, the Freshmen shared first place with the Woodbridge Vikings. Thanks to the en¬ couragement from Coach Decker, the girls finished the season with a rewarding record of 10-1. All of the girls showed fine sportsmanship and attitude during each game. The girls played exceptionally skilled games and represented Potomac well, both in victory and defeat. With a squad of ten players, the girls had their share of illness and injuries, but friendship pulled them together to make up for some of those hard times. Darlene Bardon was considered the most valuable player with a total of one hundred seventy-four points for the year. The most improved player was Kelli McGee with her fine performances on defense. The Girls’ J.V. Team just pulled through their season to have a record of 7-6. They defeated the Fauquier Falcons, enabling them to end the season with a winning record. Coach Tim Bass felt that this was one of two memorable games, the other one being against Wood- bridge, which was “a very competitive and physical game.’ Mr. Bass was pleased with the season, especially con¬ sidering it was his first year coaching a girls’ team (previously, he had coached boys’ teams.) In describing his team, Mr. Bass revealed, “We had a slow start but we improved through the stretch of the year.” He lists the girls’ strong points as rebounding, ball handling, and defense. The team was initially made up of sophomores until girls were moved up from the freshman squad. Some outstanding players were Kelly Newman, who was high scorer and best ball handler, Bev Williams, who was the best defensive player, and Amy Longwitz, who was most improved and the best rebounder. In addition, the team had their own “private cheerleader,” Michelle Raley. Freshman Deanna Natale attempts to make a pass while encountering opposition from Gar-Field players. Sports — Girls J.V.

The 1982-83 team won the Commonwealth District and Northwest Region titles. The 1983-84 team won the District title again, but fell short in the region by a few points. The 1984-85 team did in fact hold up under that pressure, by winning both the Commonwealth District and the Northwest Region titles. In addition to the titles, the team compiled an impressive 16 wins and 1 loss dual meet record, losing only to James Wood. Also, they captured two invitational tournaments. These ac¬ complishments were reached despite in¬ juries and illness throughout the entire season. The Panther varsity wrestling team has established a winning tradition! “This guy doesn’t know what he’s in for!” Using an ankle pick counter, opponent Mark Vowcll takes his man down and beats him with a score of 26-5.

Boys’Varsity Wrestling 133 Pinning for a Victory The Junior Varsity Wrestling team had an impressive season this year, winning twelve out of fifteen matches. While ten of the J.V. wrestlers were returning, the re¬ maining members were either freshmen or first year wrestlers. Usually, the line up would consist of eight or nine of these rookies, who often wrestled opponents with more experience. Aside from their regular matches, the team also participated in, and won, a six¬ teen team Christmas tournament, and per¬ formed well in both a “freshmen only” tournament and the J.V. tournament. The future looks bright for many of these young wrestlers as they have gained valuable experience this year, and ex¬ perience is the key to success in any athletic event. Going for the pin is Gary Martin. Because of his skill, Gary also participated in a few Varsity matches.

Six freshmen and only four returning lettermen comprised the small ten girl team. Along with the new freshman talent, the team also received two new coaches. Although the team was young, they improved with each meet. Finishing with a season high of 101.45 points, the team placed sixth in the Commonwealth District meet yet, they did not advance to the Regional meet. With only one senior graduating, the team will have nine out of the ten girls reurning next year. The ex¬ perience and improvement of the returning girls will help the team become a strong contender of the District title. Hugging their teddy bears for a little bit of good luck are Susan Vowell and Kelly Johnson. Susan and Kelly were two of the four returning lettermen. Saluting at the finish of the vault is freshman Carol Shirley.

On the Run Potomac’s Cross Country Harriers once again enjoyed a delightful and successful season. The Potomac girls finished the season with an 8 and 0 tri-meet record, a w ' in at the George Mason University Cross Country In¬ vitational, a fifth place finish at the respected Handley Invitational and a third place finish at the District Meet. The girls went on to place fourth in the Regional Meet and com¬ pete in the State Meet (where only 16 teams in the State of Virginia qualify). The small but efficient team was comprised of Cindy Ruff¬ ner, Suzi Paszly, Amy Cassady, Jenifer Knill, Lani Griffea, and Katy Hernandez. The best thing besides the high acadmeic standards and athletic talents these girls possess is the return of these young ladies next year. The boys also had a successful season while compiling their seven and one record for tri¬ meets. They won a championship at the highly renowned Georgetown Prep Cross Country In¬ vitational, placed fourth at the William and Mary Invitational and qualified for Regionals. They also traveled to the Kinney Cross Coun¬ try Championships in Charlotte, N.C. where they ran very competitively. The boys team showed, through lots of spirit and endeavor, that it was a respectable force in Virginia. Biil Fiske, Dave Shive, Raul DeLao, Sean Connol¬ ly, and Dan Bruinsma, as seniors, led the way. Kenny Yaeger, John Haneklair, and Erik Anderson proved this year that they are a present and future force with which to contend in Cross Country. Chris Simpleman, Tim Bur¬ rows, Jeff Tribe, Brian Watkins, Nelson Davis, Richard Blanchfield, Eric Doiron and Paul Pasek further represent a valuable and upcoming resource for the team.

Crosscountry 139 Success Hasn’t Spoiled Them • • • The Varsity Baseball team had another successful season with a record of 15-2. The team had started the season with six consecutive victories, carrying over a twenty-eight game winning streak from the previous year. An unfortunate loss to Stonewall, however, ended this winning streak for them. “It was disappointing, but we didn’t let ourselves get discouraged,” said Matt Pope, a designated hitter for the team. And discouraged they were not. The team advanced to Districts beating Fauquier, and then to Regionals taking Amhurst and Halifax. Much of the team’s success can be attributed to such outstanding players as Danny Raley, voted District’s most valuable player; Bobby LeFleur, hitting three homeruns during the season, and Jeff Porter who ended the season with a 5-1 pitching record. Fielder Wayne Gilbert was successful at bat as well as defensively in the field. VARSITY BASEBALL — First Row: Matt Pope, Doug Johnson, Danny Raley, Wayne Gilbert, Jimmy Robertson.

Though the team’s record does not reflect it, this hard working group of guys put forth much effort throughout the season. Individual standouts on the team as pitcher were Mike Cook, starting for J.V. as pitcher and first baseman, moved up to Varsity at the end of the season.

The 1983-84 varsity softball team finished the season with an impressive record winning 19 of their 21 games. Sweeping both the Commonwealth District and the Northwest Region titles, the girls displayed great team work. The consistent arm of Tracy McGinnis, the strong hitting of Deborah Scott and Debbie Scrogum, and the defensive play¬ ing of Jennifer Bowser led the team to the state semi-finals where they lost to a very powerful James Madison.

They were well organized as they practiced basic fielding and later season batting. Coach Bass found that all the girls worked well on and off the field doing warm ups, running and lifting weights to improve their performances. The J.V. team’s sportsmanship was admired and ap¬ preciated as they always welcomed their opponents at each game. The high point of the season was winning a game against Woodbridge, one of Potomac’s biggest rivals. “I was excited about the season’s victories and loved working with a team of their caliber,” remarked Coach Bass. He also expressed that the Varsity team next year will be very lucky to have such outstanding J.V. players move up. Catch that ball!!

Putting his best foot forward, Scott Kujawa advances the ball down field to another teammate. Team work is an important aspect in the game of soccer. In a scramble with a Woodbridge Viking player, Kimo Buckon uses finesse to obtain the ball from his opponent. Good defense skills lead to soccer victories. “To get ahead in the game of soccer, sometimes you just have to use your head!” Rob McLean demonstrated this skill as he attempts to hit the ball downfield towards the opposing team’s goal. 148 Boy’s Soccer “Please, I would rather do this myself!” As Robbie Semper attempts to kick the ball, Kimo Buckon aids him.

Team¬ work and cooperation is an essential part of a victorious team. With a look of determination, Scott McKenzie intently dribbles the ball upfield. Let’s Hear It for the Boys The 1983-1984 Boys Varsity Soccer team had a rewarding season. They gained valuable technique and sportsmanshp ex¬ perience from their senior teammates. Scott McKenzie had a great season displaying his talents and eventually was voted Most Valuable Player. But he wasn’t alone, Scott Wilson came around and claimed Most Improved Player, through hard work and endurance. The overall outcome of the season was eight wins and eight losses. Mr. Cameron is expecting a continuation of this team’s ever improving effort, and teamwork next season. In just their second season of competition, the 1983-1984 J.V. boys’ soccer team placed first in the district with an 8-2 record. Freshmen comprised the majority of the team this year. Of special note was the team’s two victories over the Brentsville Varsity team. The team accomplished their great record despite the fact that Jim Lascody, Greg Neilsen, and Adam Britt moved up to the var¬ sity level during the season. Most Valuable Player this season went to freshman Andy Thompson. Most Improved was awarded to Tim Christian. Two personal awards within the team were the “9-iron” Award won by Chris Beckman and the “Strong Arm” award won by Jimmy Coker. Best of Luck Guys!!!

On the road to the state AAA tournament, Potomac defended its Commonwealth District title at James Wood’s Carper Valley course. With this victory, the Panthers held an unprecented four straight District championships. They went on to capture their first ever Northwestern Regional Title over other top contenders including: Cave Springs, E.C. Glass, and James Wood. The Panthers came away from the state AAA tournament in eighth place. Coach Bob Moore said, “I was exceptionally pleased with the per¬ formance of the team.” Seniors Rob Leeper (L) and Matt Wright (R) prepare for state with many hours of practice. 1984 Golf Team - Front Row: Lenny Mandroc, Matt Wright, Robert Leeper, Scott Simpson.

Though pole vaulting may appear to be easy, it takes a lot of practice, determination and last of all courage! With Leaps and Bounds The 1984 Spring track season began with many determined athletes battling with the rain and chilly conditions. With determina¬ tion, they put on their running shoes and hit the varsity track with head coaches Anita Barnhart, and Cliff Hardison. Team members worked on improving their times by beginning with stretching exercises and a warm-up run both after school and on weekends. The athletes continued their practices with many sprint and distance runs. Also, they practiced coming out of the starting blocks for their race. Relay teams strived to pass the baton to the partners flawlessly and quickly while those members participating in the field events such as the long jump, discus throw and pole vaulting worked on conditioning and proper technique. Although bad weather persisted throughout the season causing the teams to cancel many meets, the track season was very productive. Girl’s varsity team members who qualified for the state meet were Cindy Ruffner in the one mile run, Suzi Paszly in the two mile run, and Kelly O’Connor in the one half mile run. Recognized by their coaches and team¬ mates were as Most Valuable, Cindy Ruff¬ ner, and as Most Improved, Christine Malloy. For the boy’s varsity track team, Scott Griffea was named Most Valuable and Scott Berry was named Most Im¬ proved. Scott Griffea was named as Mr. Track and Field. Other athletes who were recognized were Tim Vinson, Most Valuable Distancer, Bill Fiske, Most Valuable Middle Distancer, Wes Brown, as Most Valuable Sprinter and as Most Valuable in Field events was Lee Wilson. “Who, me?” exclaims Art Milbert as teammate Scott Berry watches the pole vaulting competition. Both Art and Scott participated in the pole vaulting event. In a varsity track meet against James Wood High School, Doug Potvin runs in the hurdles race.

The boys, who finished their winning season with a 7-0 record went on to capture another Commonwealth District Title. The team, comprised of twelve players, six of whom were returning team members, also went on to Regional play-offs where they were defeated only by the eventual state champions, E. C. Glass. Although the girls did not win a District title, their 8-2 record was really something to make a racket about. Out¬ standing players were Lulu Tierney and Kathy Hall, who in¬ dividually captured District and Regional titles. The girls’ team as a whole had improved from previous years. “They are a relatively young team with only two graduating seniors,” said Coach John Jenkins who has high hopes for the future of the team. Both teams did a great job this year. They have excelled in their sport and have brought pride to the school and to themselves. Doubles partners.

When this word is mentioned, a bouncy lit¬ tle girl with pigtails, jumping around yelling “Go team” im¬ mediately comes to mind. However, contrary to this belief, cheerleaders do more than yell and cheer on the team even though that is important psychologically to the sports teams. They are athletes and performe rs as well as leaders of cheers. The varsity squad proved this in both their performance at games, camp, and competitions by bringing home many awards from the camps and competitions they attended. The girls attended summer camp at the University of Richmond from July 10 through 13. During that four day period, the squad received three superior blue ribbons, one excellent red ribbon and were chosen as one of the four finalists to com¬ pete for the Award of Excellence run-off. Also, with the help of the J.V. and Freshman Squads, they brought home the spirit megaphone which is the most prestigious award given at camp. Because of the precision, unity, and experience of the var¬ sity squad, they were allowed to enter many competitions. First, they entered a regional competition at the University of Maryland in October. They received a trophy and an in¬ vitation to compete at the National Cheerleading Competi¬ tion in Dallas, Texas held in December. They also competed in another qualifying competition in February. Finally, once again, the squad competed in the annual Kings Dominion competition in March, where they had won First runner-up the year before. Serving as sponsor for the varsity squad was Betsy Maloney. Mrs. Maloney commented that this was the most talented squad she had worked with in her ten years ex¬ perience as a cheerleading sponsor. Leading the squad as co-captains were seniors, Jeanette Mullany, Stephanie Boyd, and Kelly Johnson. The Varsity Cheerleaders had many accomplishments of which they were very proud, and they proved they did a lot more than yell, “Go Team.” Putting trust in her fellow squad members, Kelly Johnson, falls from the top of the stunt. Stunts like this were performed during timeouts to keep the crowd enthused. Taking a break from a cold football game, Stephanie Boyd and Kelly Johnson try to stay warm. Stephanie and Kelly served as co-captains of the squad with Jeanette Mullany. Ending with a smile, Terri Fitzgerald froze her last motion.

Both these underclassmen squads represented Potomac admirably at camp, bringing home ribbons and contributing to the winning spirit of the megaphone. The Freshman Squad sold programs at all home football games to raise money for both the cheerleaders and the athletic department. Serving as captain of the J.V. Squad was Donna Dorton with Dawn Swecker and Vicki Ellis helping out as co-captains. The responsibility of secretary went to Erin Fitzgerald. Ms. Diane Ferree sponsored the squad.

Stepping High Mention “drill team” in Potomac Senior and what is the first thing that comes to mind? No, it’s not the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders or even the Redskinettes! At Potomac, drill team means one thing — Pantherettes. Performing at varsity football and basketball games, parades, and other functions, the team was formed in the spring of 1982 under the direction of sponsors Ms. Pat Droves and Ms. Fran Bacon. Their season began in April with a grueling week of tryouts, and continued through football until the close of basketball season, and ended after their main competition in March. The drill team with new and returning members began their 1984 season during the summer at an NCA Drill Team Super Star Camp at the University of Richmond. The team won the Home Routine Trophy and also re¬ ceived an unpredicted perfect score from all the judges. Among their other honors received at camp last summer were the Spirit Pon and the Sweepstakes Trophy, In their competition in March, 1984, the Pantherettes received the Sweepstakes Trophy awarded for 3 out of 3 routines. They also received another perfect total score from all the judges at the competition. In addition, the team performed at the Virginia High School League Basketball finals in Charlottesville and also at the mock election held at Potomac in October. Congratulations Pantherettes!

Many new members wen pleasantly surprised when they received their rose at the ceremony. Leadership and Honor Two organizations in which students take on quite an amount of responsibility are the Student Cooperative Association and National Honor Society. This year proved to be a busy one for the Student Cooperative Association, or the SCA as most people know it. The SCA sponsored the blood drives this year, to which the students were very responsive. There were two held, one in winter and one in spring. Anyone seventeen years of age, weighing one hundred ten pounds, and having parental consent could participate. Also, after the seniors lost their privileges, the SCA came through to get the ad¬ ministration to get them back. That is what the SCA is for, to be the linking point between the students and the faculty. Serv¬ ing as officers were President — Mark Vowell; Vice President — Andy Hearing; Secretary — Diana Benevides; Treasurer — Cathy Dutton, and Sergeant at Arms — Todd Jenkins. One member deserving recognition was Vice President Andy Dearing. As well as taking care of the blood drives, Andy also represented the area in the United States Student Council. To be a member of National Honor Society, one must be a junior or senior and have maintained and continue to maintain a 3.3 grade point average, unlike previous years where a junior was required to have a 3.5. Mrs. Polk or Mrs. Emmons, sponsors for National Honor Society, checked each six week’s report cards to assure that the students kept up the required grade point average. Members of NHS are looked up to by students of the school and are ex¬ pected to conduct themselves in a “respec¬ table manner.” If caught disobeying school rules, such as cheating or skipping, they could be dismissed. The induction of new members took place in December and went something like this: An old member went up to the in¬ ductee and handed him her a rose. The in¬ ductee then went on stage and was handed a National Honor Society certificate and pin. To some of the students, such as Nicole Steagall, the induction was a total surprise. All members were expected to par¬ ticipate in at least three activities during the year. They went to meetings, tutored after school, or baked for the teachers dur¬ ing National Teacher Appreciation Week. Officers for National Honor Society this year were President — Stephanie Boyd; Vice-President — James Miller; Secretary — Renee Smoot; Treasurer — John Willis; Historian — Jennen Miller. Mrs. Polk pins a NHS pin on Paul Pasek, a junior during the induction ceremony as Mr. David Kit who gave a very moving and inspiring speech to th students, faculty, and parents during the ceremony observes. 166 SCA NHS SCA Front Row: Traci Schrack, Maruca Malloy, Lisa Nicolosi, Alice Kalaskas, Leslie Smith, Stephanie Mattijetz, Kim Whitehurst, Catherine Mattijetz, Lisa Alonzo, Bess Morris, Susan Barger, Kristy Hall, Dawn Graham, Claudia Gibb, Kim Jacobson, Stuart Gilkison, Matt Kreger.

Pride Through Service Two of the most popular clubs at Potomac are the Junior Civitans and Key Club. These two service clubs get involved in activities such as fund raisers and pro¬ jects within the community. The Junior Civitans have definitely grown in popularity and size at Potomac. With more than one hundred members this year, the Civitans were an enthusiastic and spirited club. This year they raised money for the National Association for Retarded Citizens (NARC). Under the sponsorship of Ms. Diane Fontana, they won awards for raising the most money for NARC for the past two years, for having the largest delegation for three years, and for having the most representatives at the annual con¬ vention in Ocean City, Maryland. Also for the past three years, the Potomac Civitan Club has sold the most fruit cake out of the whole Chesapeake District. This year’s of¬ ficers were: President — Michele Olio; Vice President — Megan O’Brien; Secretary — Susan Luedtke; Treasurer — Nicole Ramano; Lieutenant Governor — Cory Puckett; Sergeant at Arms — Karen Piwowarski; Historian — Michele Kanche. The officers for Key Club for the 1984- 85 school year were President — Scott Molinari; Vice President — Cheryl Beyer; Secretary-Treasurer — Rob Dulin; and Sergeant at Arms — Greg Margheim. The club also has a board consisting of two members from each class. Together, the officers and board members with the guidance of faculty advisor Mr. Bill Fulp and Mrs. Jean Zimmerman, planned the activities the Key Club was involved in during the year. Activities they undertook were food and clothing drives, fund raisers such as car washes and the Ms. Potomac contest, and at Christmas time “clubbers” could be found in front of Bon Foods in Dumfries, ringing the bell for the Salva¬ tion Army. The Key Club was also respon¬ sible for the trees and shrubbery planted beside Potomac High’s front doors. Money made by the club went to scholarship funds for PSHS students or gifts to the school. Junior Civitans Key Club 169 Communicating Through Skill Communication is the key to success for the Teen Counseling program and the Debate and Forensics Club. In both cases, getting the point across clearly is the name of the game. The Teen Counseling program, sponsored by Ms. Pat Droves, is a program in which select groups of Juniors and Seniors provide role models for the fifth and sixth graders. Twice a month, the groups, usually consisting of three Potomac students, travelled to an elementary or middle school, where they had their own assigned class. The counselors had planned sessions where they talked about such subjects as shoplifting, drugs, vandalism, and high school activities. During these sessions, the teen counselors used various methods like movies, skits, or even guest speakers to get their points across. A descrip¬ tion of the teen counselors, according to a group of fifth graders at Rippon Elementary School, went something like this: “They teach us things, give us parties, and most important, make us happy!” When asked her opinion of the 1984-85 teen counselors, sponsor Pat Droves re¬ sponded, “As far as I’m concerned, this was the best group we’ve had since the program began.” The goal of the Debate and Forensics Club is to give the members experience in public speaking, provide speaking skills, and to build confidence in speaking. Pro¬ moting this purpose during the 1984-85 school year was a new and enthusiastic sponsor Lis Eden, who led a group of new faces and potential. The twenty-five members competed in areas that ranged from reciting poetry and dramatic reading to original speeches from five to seven minutes long and extemporaneous speeches, where a given topic is not known until thirty minutes before com¬ petition. Officers for the club this year were: President — Joseph Black; Vice-President — Michelle Kanche; Secretary — Hyunmee Lee; Treasurer — Beth Katzoff. As Beth Katzoff studies for her next debate, she knows she will have the support of the whole club. Because Debate is a small club, it allowed the members to become close to one another. Researching with a friend lessens the monotony. Alice Kalaskis and Hyunmee Lee prove this quite well with their smiles. 170 Debate and Forensics Teen Counseling Boarding the bus prepared for another session with elementary and middle school students are some representatives of the afternoon ses¬ sion teen counselors.

Debate and Forensics Club Teen Counseling 171 Success Oriented Most students are often frightened by the complexities of science and com¬ puters. The Science Club and the Com¬ puter Club were designed to help simplify these complexities. The Science Club promoted student interest in the various sciences, aided students in actual research and provided them with career information. Their ac¬ tivities included presentations given by people involved in different science related occupations, sponsoring the Science Fair, providing science contest information and taking field trips. The club sponsored speakers on topics in¬ cluding computers, nuclear war, drugs, the brain, abnormal psychology, and dreams. These talks were open to the entire student body and faculty. The year culminated with the Science Fair in mid March and field trips to the Na¬ tional Naval Observatory in the spring. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Ship- man and the Science Fair is handled by Mrs. Ghilone. Serving as officers were: Scott ' Moberly — President; Conrad Woo — Vice President; Becky Hale — Secretary; Kelly Kaspar — Treasurer; Dale Triplett — Reporter. The Science Club consisted of twenty-five members. The Computer Club taught basic pro¬ gramming and gave an introduction to computers for beginners. The club with ninety memers was sponsored by Mrs. Szady.The most exciting activity for the club was the Computer Contest. Computers! Computers! Computers! Though they may speak another ianaguage to many, some PSHS students took advan¬ tage of the available software and explored the new world that was offered by them. This group of students work together to program this machine. SCIENCE CLUB Front Row: Ian Doiron, Aaron Speca, Steve Davis, David Sawler, Chad Sisneros.

It’s a Small World One of the most active organizations in the school last year was the Foreign Language Club. It explored the different customs of foreign cultures. In the second annual Foreign Language Festival held in March, this was most apparent. Other activities that the club sponsored were par¬ ticipating in the Homecoming parade, a Christmas Banquet, and a spring trip to Busch Gardens. The club’s fundraiser this year was selling t-shirts to finance these activities. Because of donations made by students and their parents, members of the club hope to sponsor a starving child in another country. Mrs. Cakora, the German teacher, and Mrs. Ramer, a Spanish teacher, sponsored the 82 member club this year with the help of officers and language representatives. Officers for the 1984-1985 school year were: Dean Furman, president; Scott Simpson, vice-president; Chris Crossley, secretary; and Stacy Gudgel, treasurer. In addition, each language elected their own representatives: Tracy Herbert, Latin representative; Kristin Thomas, French representative; Tim Sweatman, German representative; and Katie Ross, Spanish representative. Through the activities planned, the Foreign Language Cl ub hoped to br¬ ing others to the realization that learning about other countries can be fun and educational. The German Club members consisted of students who take German as a foreign language at Potomac High School. Like the Foreign Language Club, this club participated in activities such as the Foreign Language Fair. Through this club, members learned about German culture and tradi¬ tions. Being aware of German customs made learning more enjoyable. Another active club at Potomac was the History Club. This club inspired an appreciation for history. Members of the club visited several local historical sights through field trips planned by the club and their sponsors. Through their many activities, thesse clubs hoped to bring others to the realization that learning about our country and others can be both fun and educational.

History Foreign Language German 175 2 Sides of the Coin Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) were very busy this year with many activities. They developed skills in leadership, community awareness, voca¬ tional knowledge, and social intelligence. Just a few of their many activities included educational field trips to Philadelphia, Reading, and New York, Open House for the Chamber of Commerce, and the ACTS field day (a field day and lunch for underprivileged children). They also spon¬ sored Employer-Parent and Student Ban¬ quets and Marketing of a house built by students. They conducted community and business surveys as well as operated the school store. DECA also had television coverage to promote their program and District and State Competition related to learned employment skills. Jean Cahall and David Carr sponsored the 96 members this year with the aid of officers. Michelle Munn, president; Tim Thompson, vice-president; Cheryl Elliot, Secretary; Stephen Barber, Treasurer; Danny Stanley, photographer. Another club that offered experience in the working world was the Potomac Chapter of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VIC A). VIC A provided students with leadership skills necessary to “succeed in the world of work.” Also, the club was interested in promoting the digni¬ ty of work and assisting in establishing realistic vocational goals. The club was involved throughout the year. The Skill and Leadership contest was among the most important. Other ac¬ tivities were a self-sponsored employee- employer function which enabled students and employers to come together. In addi¬ tion, VICA had at least two field trips and a fall rally at Busch Gardens. These clubs both worked to gain ex¬ perience on the job. Through their ac¬ tivities, the members hoped to gain skills to help them in the future.

Future Business Leaders of America is a nationwide organization, the composition of which is a wide variety. Students that join FBLA do so for many different reasons — to become aware of the basic knowledge and skills that are involved in business, to learn about and become a per¬ son with leadership qualities, and to be in¬ formed of these many different aspects of the business world. In addition to the many fund raisers the club was involved in, the event most looked forward to was the regional and state com¬ petitions. Representatives from all FBLA clubs met and demonstrated their business related skills. Winners of the regionals then advanced to state competitions. To be such an active and respected club took a lot of hard work and dedication. Sponsors, Mrs. Findley and Mrs. Stevens and officers Kim Angelo, President; Kelly Lepage, Vice-President; Anne Bartosch, Secretary; Marie MacDonald, Treasurer; Michelle Theriault, Historian; and Tonya Smith, Reporter, all worked diligently to keep that reputation, but without the sup¬ port and hard work of the forty-six members, FBLA would not have been able to accomplish its many tasks. A second nationwide organization is SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving). This club is composed of students with an earnest interest i n making the school and community aware of the hazard of drink¬ ing and driving. SADD’s motto is “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk,” and membership is open to entire student body. Serving as president for SADD was Senior, Scott Dadson who was also highly involved in bringing SADD to Potomac. One club that plans for the future is FHA (Future Homemakers of America). Though the club is not business related, it focuses on bettering the community and family life. Potomac chapter joined the State and National Club to gain more knowledge. Mrs. Evelyn Fleming, the club’s sponsor, led the club through many activities in the community. These ac¬ tivities helped to better the community and the members gained experience from par¬ ticipating in them. These clubs worked toward a common goal, which was to be a service to their members as well as the community. All aimed at preparing for the future through their functions and activities. FBLA FH A S ADD 179 Pride in Victory The Crew Club and the Pep Club are two clubs that provide spirit and support for the teams at Potomac. Working together, these clubs were successful throughout the year. The Crew Club was originally designed to offer support to the Crew Team and to raise money and interest for the team. Because the main function of the club was to support the Crew Team, it did not have many activities of its own. Mr. George Jett, a former crew coach, sponsored the club which had forty plus members. The sport of crew or rowing is one of the oldest competitive sports existing today. Many sports require teamwork but crew even more so. Each crew member must move in perfect synchronization with each of his or her teammates. Crew requires cooperation in the strictest sense of the word to maintain the balance and rhythm of the boat. Potomac seems to have done well in teamwork and cooperation because Potomac Crew, now in its fourth year, is a growing competitive power in Northern Virginia rowing. In the spring season Potomac won several races and placed well in numerous others. In the last regatta, Potomac rowed to within one meter of T. C. Williams High School Crew, the best in the area. Persistent efforts by all members and the two mile runs, calisthenics, and six or seven miles of rowing each day paid off in recognition and advancement in this demanding sport. The Pep Club was designed to teach high standards of cooperation, loyalty and school spirit, and to support all athletic ac¬ tivities in the school. In order to achieve this, members must be in good academic standing, attend all meetings and activities sponsored by the club and be willing to work hard. There were 140 members in the Pep Club, sponsored by Mrs. Quash. Dur¬ ing football season, the Pep Club spon¬ sored several pep buses which took students to away games. They were responsible for the bus which took students to the regional play-offs in Pulaski. With spirit such as displayed by the Pep Club and Crew Club, our pride is showing!

Pep Crew 181 Fine Tuned Arts The Art Club L T D. and the Symphony Orchestra are two clubs at Potomac with similar interests and goals. Though the Art Club deals with the visual arts and the Symphony Orchestra concerns itself with the performing arts, each club demonstrates its efforts to the school and community, whether it be in the form of a winter concert or a spring art exhibit. The Art Club, with Mr. Mike Babuschak as its sponsor, was organ¬ ized to recognize students who have shown outstanding pursuits in art. For its 31 members, it is a means of pursuing and enhancing artistic in¬ terest beyond the classroom. During its weekly Wednesday and after school meetings, the club participated in art workshops, prepared literary magazine illustrations and contributed in the All-County Art Exhibit held at Manassas Mall for which the Art Department has received top honors. The club officers for the school year were: serving as President, Nicole Steagall, as Vice-President, Denise Uber, serving as Treasurer was David Comerford, and as Secretary was Mia Alexander. Starting its concert season with a bang, was Potomac’s Symphony Orchestra. The 35 piece string ensemble experienced the joys of perfor¬ ming together and working towards the goal of perfection in harmony. One of the many things achieved by the orchestra this year was their first full orchestra Christmas concert. The orchestra participated in the Festival Concert where they competed with other schools in this area. The season culminated with a Spring performance honoring Seniors and outstanding achievers. Conducted by Mr. Larry Casey, the group established an excellent reputation. Without the officers, Mr. Casey ' s job would have been much more difficult. The officers were: as President, Jennene Miller; serving as Vice-President, Kim Britt; as Secretary, Stacy Darr, and ser¬ ving as Treasurer was Rob Willis. Through their efforts, these two clubs helped Potomac to shine in the community. Their abilities and efforts have given our school much reason to be proud. Senior Amey Wallich and Junior Stacy Darr, the Orchestra treasurer, perform in the halls before homeroom. These perfor¬ mances were to celebrate the holiday season with Christmas carols. Painting a mural on the English hall is Jeff Eden. The Art Club contributed some of the funds necessary to buy the supplies for the wall murals.

Art Orchestra 183 That’s Entertainment The “Entertaimment Department” at Potomac consists of three bands: the Marching Band, Con¬ cert Band, and Symphonic Band, plus the Flag and Rifle Corps. They spent many hours this year, in and out of school, practicing for assemblies and concerts as well as for competition. The PSHS Marching Band had a very suc¬ cessful 1984 season. They participated in a com¬ petition held at W. T. Woodsen High School, sponsored by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Director’s Association. The many hours of hard work paid off because the band took third place in the Class A Division. As well as marching in com¬ petition, they also marched in the Dumfries Christmas Parade. prised of underclassmen, more than half of the band members were Freshmen marching for their first time. Since there were less than The Panther Marching Band continued to im¬ press spectators at home as well as at away foot¬ ball games with new music and difficult routines which were prepared every week for the half-time entertainment. Primarily com ten Seniors, there will be a ot of returning members next year. The band was led on field by drum major Todd Dill and drum majorette Kim Britt under the in¬ struction of Mr. Richad Dill. Also included in the band front was the Flag and Rifle corps also known as the band front. No band would be complete without them for they added color and excitement to the routines. After tryouts in the spring, the twelve girls that made the band front attended camp at James Madison University in the summer where they learned new skills from professional instructors. With their sponsor, Ms. Manderville, they planned to at¬ tend several competitions. This year’s band front included Flag Captain, Anne Bartosch; assistant Flag Captain, Hyunmee Lee; and Rifle Captain, Kim Angelo. The other two bands existing at Potomac are the Concert and Symphonic Bands. The Concert Band is an intermediate level group composed mainly of freshmen, while the Symphonic Band is advanced and composed mainly of upperclassmen. The Symphonic Band performs on a grade VI which is the most dif¬ ficult grade as designed by the Virginia Band and Or¬ chestra Director’s Association. Both bands performed various concerts throughout the year. These performances included fall, Christmas, and spring concerts, and a performance at the District I Band Festival. At this event, the bands were judged on their performances by a plane of music experts and they received comments as well as a rating on their performance. Potomac has repeated¬ ly earned “Superior” ratings at these festivals since 1979. MARCHING BAND: PERCUSSION Front Row: Scott Priestly, Amy Wallich, David Katzoff, Max Acker.

Neither Varsity Choir, all boys, nor Treble Choir, an all girl group, required auditions. However, the Concert Choir, a large mixed group, and the Camerata Singers, a small select group of 16 members, did require auditions. As well as these in-school choirs, there was also a barber shop quartet this year consisting of Dwane Sampson, Choi Kong, Brian Wallich, and Louise Dean. Anyone in a choral group this year could try out for the All-County Regionals, State, and Honors Choir. Requirements for State were that you be a Junior or Senior, and make Regional tryouts. Atten¬ ding State this year were: Louis Dean, Christine Malloy, and Matt Fetheroff as an alternate. To try out for Honors Choir you must have been a Senior; attending this year were: Amy Hawkins and Christine Malloy.

The Photography Club takes care of what happens behind the camera while the Drama Club is busy in front of the camera. The Photography Club, sponsored by Mr. Chris Kadis, got off to a picture perfect start. Members of the club learned basic skills in tak¬ ing pictures, developing negatives, and making prints from those negatives. The club met dur¬ ing activity period and was permitted to use the darkroom after school. To cover the expenses of photographic paper and chemicals there was a five dollar club fee. Another productive year has drawn to a close for the Drama Club. Officers Robby O’Neill, President; Michele Kanche, Vice-President; Jenny Boyd, Treasurer; and Laura Hupka, Secretary, were the most effective and reliable officers since the creation of the club. During the year, the club worked hard on various plays and other activities. The one act play, “When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet,” went to the district and regional competition. Letters were finally given to members deserving recognition who met the strict requirements set down by the administration. The club received two new sponsors, Ms. Harriet Eden and Ms. Theresa Rice. Many thanks are extended to Robby O’Neill from the club, for his long and strenuous efforts to bring the club to letterman status. Listening to Mr. Kadis speak of the finer points of photography, Kristi “Rocky” Anderson remembers every important detail. Photography Club members learned a great deal about developing film, printing negatives, and taking good shots. Demonstrating a procedure, Mr. Kadis teaches students useful skills in graphic arts. Mr. Kadis was the Photography Club sponsor. v. Photography Drama 189 Print -r - Publish With deadlines to be met, copy to be written, and layouts to be designed, the Newspaper Staff and the staff of the Literary Magazine had very similar goals which had to be met. These clubs were both involved with school publications. The Potomac H.S. Newspaper, entitled The PHS Class, was composed of Journalism II and III students. In order to be a member of the school newspaper, one must have com¬ pleted the Journalism I class. This organization showed students the workings of a newspaper which includes writing and editing stories, conducting interviews, selling adver¬ tisements and much more. The most exciting event for this year’s staff was its in¬ volvement in the Virginia High School Student Publications Workshop held in late October at the University of Virginia. This workshop, in which The PHS Class took top honors with a first place award for excellence, proved to be both fun and informative for the staff. The staffs advisor, Ms. Renny Lake proved to be a welcome addition after she took over the newspaper in the middle of last year. This year’s staff, consisting of 10 people, was comparatively small. Everyone worked hard and con¬ tributed the best of their efforts to publish papers which were of interest to the school. Serving as Editor was Diane Benevides, as Sports Editor was David Dwyer, as Feature Editor was Paula Boykin, and as Business Manager, Tami Brandt. This year, the Literary Magazine Club published two magazines consisting entirely of prose, poetry, and art con¬ tributed by students from each grade level. The first issue was published in January and the second magazine, which came out in the Spring, was taken to the Virginia’s High School League Competition. One of the best things about being in this club was the fact that sponsor Ms. Sandi Moller let the seventeen members “literally” run the show. Acting as Editor-in-Chief was Steve Dunlap and Assistant Editor was Chris Fulerton. These two helped the club members decide which pieces of copy would be used in the magazine. The Lay-Out Editor, Cindy Cun- niff, and Art Editor, Jay Immel, were responsible for exactly how each piece of copy would look in the magazine. Louis Dean, the Business Editor, had the responsibility of getting local business to buy ads from the magazine. Being in the Literary Magazine and Newspaper was an educational as well as a fun experience for all involved.

Many creative short stories, poems and works of art are included in the literary magazine publication. 190 Literary Magazine Newspaper Joy Immel organized all of the artwork that went into the magazine. The artwork in the magazine complemented the “What a feeling!” literary magazine members, Kate Cervarich, Jenny Boyd, and Sherri Cox smile with writings of it. pride over the finished product. At the University of Virginia, journalism students show their enthusiasm through their smiles. The students learned the finer points of putting out a newspaper for the school at this camp.

Literary Magazine Newspaper 191 photographers are doing what? . . .We’re out of quad packs! . . . Hey! I was gonna use that picture! . . . Our deadline was when? . . . Oh no! . . . HELP!!!” These are just some of the expressions used by the 1984-85 yearbook staff. A school year runs from September to June, but the yearbook’s year is endless. Although the final deadline was in February, the work didn’t stop then. The preparations for the next year’s book were started. Putting together a yearbook takes a lot of work, as the staff soon found out. Ex¬ cept for two veterans, the staff was inex¬ perienced concerning the workings of a yearbook. They started from scratch and worked and learned together to complete the yearbook. Since producing a yearbook requires time, effort, and patience, the work didn’t end when the bell dismissed the students and ended the school day. Many after school hours that could have been spent having fun with friends or just plain doing nothing, were spent at school, working on the yearbook. This was necessary in order to make a memory that is cherished for years. The staff did have a lot of fun too. Typ¬ ing errors seemed hilarious at 10:30 at night. The amount of money spent on after school snacks skyrocketted as the staff worked to meet their deadlines. A lot was learned last year. Organiza¬ tion, leadership, typing, writing, and draw¬ ing skills improved. The staff learned from each other and shared each other’s trium¬ phs and defeats. Somehow, a good time was had by all. Right guys? MEOW With a look of complete concentration on her face, an industrious Charlotte Acker works on a piece of copy for the faculty section.

The party was just one of many social activities held at yearbook camp. “Which copy goes with this lay-out?”, asks Kelly Johnson.

As we look back over the past year, we can feel “the thrill of victories, and the agony of defeats.” We felt our pride soar as our teams captured such titles at “Regional Volleyball,” “Regional,” “District,” and “State Wrestling.” Perfect scores in all categories gave our Pan- theretettes the “Sweepstakes” trophy. Our Varsity Cheerleaders qualified for the na¬ tional competition by placing in the districts. Seniors received various scholar¬ ships and academy appointments. In the music department, several students were selected to participate in the All-Regional and All-State Bands, Orchestras, and Choirs. The “agony of defeat” was also present, but this didn’t dampen the pride of the Panthers. The support shown when we weren’t victorious in all things was tremen¬ dous. Instead of quitting, the attitude was to “get ’em next time,” and we did!! Yes, we’ve come a long way, and we’re proud of what we’ve done! One of the vocational skills offered at Potomac is mechanical drawing. Because of his career plans, Tim Anderson has taken this class for four years. Seniors, Kathy Oliver and Shellie Stennick, emerge from the school building into the sunshine, relieved that class is finally over.

Good luck in your years ahead with yearbook. MEOW!!! will simply close this book with a quote from a friend and past editor. I truly think this sums it up. “You have seen the fruits of our labor, but the action behind the scenes would have taken another book to fill — the late hours . . . the empty coke cans . . . the tears . . . the anxieties — but teamwork and camaraderie pulled us through, so that now we can jokingly say, “There is life after deadline.’’ Sallee Richardson, Editor 1985 Prowler Staff Editor — Sallee Richardson Student Life — Laura Hudak Sandi Griffith Kathe Neary Organizations — Renee Voegtly Jill Parrish Sports Editor — Kelly Johnson Matt Pope Liz Lawlor Academics — Charlotte Ack er Seniors — Sallee Richardson Kelly Johnson Juniors — Shellie Stennik Sophomores — Jill Parrish Lreshmen — Kelly Hilton Lori Conatser Photography — Laura Hudak Matt Pope Lori Conatser 220 � 223 PO VIR VA 371.8976 Pot Pot The prowler 05558750 PRINCE WILLIA M PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM 3 3159 00346 2160
