Box 518 Dublin, Virginia 24084 v J Nothing beats a great pair of legs — During the boys’ beauty pageant, David Dalton shows some skin to impress the judges. Senior boys dress up as women for the pageant. Bus stop — In the early hours of a winter morning, Greg Jarrells steps off his bus as Lisa Smallwood and Tami Sut- phin pass by. Some students ride buses to and from school while others ride or drive cars. 2 Student Life . ik.1 The First Step - In The Beginning The first step, the beginning, was the hardest. It was hard for twelve-year-old freshman prodi¬ gy Kevin Williams to step into a world in which all his classmates were older and acted it. But he kept on going. It was hard for 604 other freshmen who stepped off the long, yellow school buses, walked towards the school on a roof-covered sidewalk, and encountered a scary experience — the first day of high school. Soon they would be asked the notorious ques¬ tion, “Would you like to buy a pep rally ticket?” But they kept on going. It was hard for juniors and seniors, who had already learned the ropes of going to high school, to find a parking place within five minutes walking distance of the school. The next week Mr. Dunavant exclaimed, “Can’t you all form a car pool?” as he assigned parking spaces. But they kept on going. Teach¬ ers and administrators struggled with filling out form after form from tax forms to textbook rent¬ al information. Many teachers strolled about catching up on each other’s summers while oth¬ ers exerted themsevles as they unloaded mate¬ rials and supplies. But they kept on going. Although the school was crowded with about 2200 students, each student and teacher stepped out with individual problems and sought the solutions. And, they kept on going. Table for two — Mr. Dewey Wilson, Mrs. Ann Armbrister, and Mr. Kenneth Dobson at¬ tend a luncheon in the com¬ mons area. The meal was held last spring in honor of her retirement after 31 years of teaching. Rock Lobster — Hoyt Parris, hanging out in the senior locker banks, peers out behind his shades on dressup punk day during homecoming week. Student Life 3 Big band banner — fans at the homecoming football game hold up a sign saying, We love our Cougar Band” while the band performs at halftime. At each home football game during halftime the band marches and plays such songs as Ice Castles,” Pictures at an Exhibition,” and Birdland.” Motel madness — Band members Mike Hamblin, Tim Black, and Brad Nester joke around in their hotel room in Richmond before a band competition at the Virginia State Fair competition. Duck-billed hat — Junior Shirley Vest wears a duck¬ billed hat on hat day. Special dress up days are held throughout the year to show spirit for athletic teams. A stitch in time saves nine — Mrs. Harriett Berry and Kim Cline put the finishing touches on a Cougar Quilt. This quilt was raffled off by the Band Boosters at a football game. 4 Student Life Singing the blues — Ritchie Gillman, portraying Felix Ungar, tells his marriage problems to Oscar Hamilton, played by Tracy Howard, during the production of The Odd Couple. Decisions and deadlines — Mr. Dave Campbell, a stu¬ dent teacher in English from Virginia Tech, helps seniors Autti Hyde and Kelly Chaffin perfect stories for the school newspaper, the Cougar Prowler. The Second Step - Get Involved After students performed the traditional ritual of filling out pink, green, yellow, blue and white locator cards in homeroom, regular class be¬ gan. And so did regular homework. Arm mus¬ cles were strengthened carrying the weight of chemistry, world history, German, calculus, and government books, not to mention the burgun¬ dy and white, locker-room scented gym suits that supposedly went home every Friday. Every geometry student knew that all work and no play made for a “square.” So to be a “well- rounded” person, students got involved. As forty-five football players stepped onto the turf in the Cougar Stadium, fans stepped out to cheer them to a 3-0 victory against Northside. At sock hops, students stepped out onto the tartan gym floor and boogied to “Super Freak,” “Double Dutch Bus,” “Let’s Groove,” “Private Eyes,” “ Boy from New York City,” and other songs played by Irving Largen. The 280 leg- strong marching band stepped out on the streets of Pulaski, Richmond, Wytheville, and Salem to proudly show off their talent and new uniforms. Students stepped out from crowded class¬ rooms to get involved with activities and on the top of Slaughterhouse Road. And they kept on going. Student Life 5 The Third Step - Stepping Out From The Crowd The gym bleachers were crowded with al¬ most 2,200 students during each pep rally while the band and teachers occupied half the court. But that did not stop star cross-country athlete Donnie Tickle from stepping out and talking about the team. Mr. Bob McGinley’s and Mr. Tom Howerton’s Biology I class was crowded with forty students, but that didn’t stop Angela Safewright from going beyond the call of duty to rip out the intestines of the worm she was dis¬ secting. The stadium was crowded with hun¬ dreds of fans at the Heritage football game, but that did not stop Ronnie Alley from stepping out to catch a miniature football (compliments of Tastee-Freeze) thrown by cheerleader Carol Ann Luttrell. The 292,713 square foot brick school was big. With 2,200 students, there was no denying that at times it was crowded. But each student stepped out from the crowd and kept on going. Come ’n get it — Football players Sherill Holston and Phillip Melton talk with Ms. Ann Mabry as they pay for their meal during first lunch. 6 Student Life Pumping iron — Baseball coach Wally Flinchum works out after school on the lat pullover section of the universal weight machine in the weight room. Carpet cleaner — On a teachers’ workday, Science pod teachers battled with 12-foot rubber bands. As a result, report cards, old envelopes, and scrap paper covered the carpeting. Biology teacher Mr. Jim Kelly picks up trash from the floor in the teachers’ station. She loves me, she loves me not — Offensive and de¬ fensive tackle Tim Gill hands cheerleader and gymnast Shir¬ ley Perry a flower during the homecoming pep rally. The football players gave the cheerleaders roses in appreciation for their support and spirit during the games. Jamming — Lead singer for the rock group Freedom Jam, Don Spargo, performs with the rest of the band for the student body in the gym. Student Life 7 r STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE m The life of a student encompassed more than books and homework. It in¬ volved fixing cars in Mr. Caudell’s auto body class, dancing at the sock hops after a football or basketball game, singing in the concert choir’s Christmas concert, teeing off in a golf tournament, soaking up the sun at Claytor Lake State Park, and fighting with snow balls. The game of student life was played not only behind a desk, but also in the gym during pep rallies or wrestling matches, at a pizza party sponsored by FHA, on the campus during a fire drill, at Claytor Lake during summer vacation, and on the streets during the Count Pu¬ laski Day Parade. Students stepped out from crowded halls and locker banks to see other lights of life. Table for two —Eva Altizer and James East work on the freshman homecoming float under a table in the English pod. They are stuffing tissue paper into chicken wire on the outside of their mimi-float. Whip it —On punk rock day, Barry Doyle dons a Devo costume complete with energy dome, punk glasses, and whip. Punk rock day was one of the five special dress-up days during homecoming week. 8 Student Life Student Life 9 Sun ’n Fun What was the most asked question during the first days of school? It wasn’t “who’s that new boy?” or “where is the elevator?” It was “what did you do dur¬ ing the summer?” Many students and teachers an¬ swered that they had spent their sum¬ mer swimming and lying out at area pools, playing golf at Thorn Spring Country Club, skiing at Claytor Lake, playing tennis at New River Community College, going on picnics in the country, or sleeping late and watching soap op¬ eras. Vacationers traveled to Myrtle Beach, the Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway, or to wherever their suitcase led them. Summer was not all rest and relax¬ ation. Many students found jobs at hos¬ pitals, restaurants, factories, or stores. Volleyball for all — Graduates of Mr. Jerry King’s accounting block play volleyball during a picnic held in the backyard of his home in Blacks¬ burg. Party Hearty — A smiling Kim Cline cuts her cake at a party held on Claytor Lake during the summer in honor of her sixteenth birthday. Science teachers Jim Kelly, Tom Howerton, John Duncan, and John Jo¬ seph painted the exterior of houses dur¬ ing the summer. However, these stu¬ dents and teachers had their fun, too. Mr. John Joseph said, “Kelly and Howerton were management while Duncan and I were labor. On the week¬ ends we would have tennis matches of labor vs. management. Management al¬ ways wins, though. But there will be an uprising, and labor shall overthrow management.” When the last day of school ended, students and teachers found that they had more time to do the more fun things in life. Now school did not take up the majority of their time. Playing, working, skiing, vacationing, and other activities made life under the summer sun, fun. Takeoff — Rusty Warren dons his hang glider and prepares to fly at Nags Head, North Carolina. He also hang glides in Fairlawn. 10 Student Life Walks on water — Claytor Lake provides re¬ creational activities for summer-picnicking, swim¬ ming, horseback riding, tanning, and skiing. Chip Sparks slalom skis on the lake during his summer vacation. Hands held high — Flag Corps captain Pam Propst practices the routine with the rest of the band this summer at band camp. ■ mm . Summer 11 Check it out —Senior Beth Lancaster works at her part time job as a check-out girl at Wade’s. Workin’ blues —Donna Phipps bags groceries at Wade ' s in Dublin. She works part time at Wade’s while she continues with her education. For whom the bell tolls —Pat Wright answers the switchboard in the main office. 12 Student Life As simple as 1,2,3, —Donna Davis adds up the receipts at Wade’s in Dublin. What’s happening? Working 5 to 9 What do you do after school? Some students went home and did their homework while others played sports in the gym or at the track. Yet other stu¬ dents joined the ranks of the employed and started working 5:00-9:00. With inflated prices and deflated allowances, many students discovered that “payday” was not just a game. Norma Clark, a dietary aide at Pulaski Community Hospital, said, “The money is the best thing. It’s my money and I do not have to rely on my parents. It’s a good opportunity to learn and prepare myself for later life.” Dublin Pharmacy employee Mike Duncan also thought this way as he said, “I like the feeling of having my own car and money. Work prepares me for my future responsibility in life. I like the responsibility and the experience my job has given me.” Although earning money was a defi¬ nite “pro”, work was not play. “If I do not do the work, my boss will get mad,” commented Greg Gooch, who worked at Wade’s. “If you have a job, then it really pulls on your school work and sports.” When school ended and summer be¬ gan, many students stopped tanning by the poolside or watching soap operas, and got a summer job. Lifeguard at Bramblebush Pool, Wendy Estes said, “The heat was the worst thing about working. The best thing was the money and a sense of accomplishment. It was rewarding to know that I saved some¬ body’s life.” It was rewarding to be a part of a 5 to 9 world. Student Life 13 • ' -vv (. Shine, Windex makes it shine — Phillip Dillon puts hard elbow grease on the windows of the Fairlawn Fire Department fire truck. He is on call at all times. Help the March of Dimes — Leigh Bratton her jobs as the school’s March of Dimes Coordi- makes announcements to listeners. This is one of nator. 14 Student Life What’s Happening? Overworked and Never Pai In today’s world, when gas was $1.20 a gallon, a Big Mac was $1.15, and concert tickets ranged from $8.00 — $15.00, mon¬ ey was craved. For most students, money meant work, and work meant a paycheck on Friday. However, for a handful of stu¬ dents, work meant volunteering. These people gave their time, energy and efforts to provide services for the community. If one saw a Fairlawn fire truck racing to ward a burning house, he might also have seen Phillip Dillon, a volunteer fire¬ man. Phillip reflected on the hard-ships of his work when he said, “The work wears you out. Sometimes you get called at 1:00 in the morning and do not get home until 6:00 or 7:00, and then try to go to school.” However, hardships subsided and rewards were achieved as Phillip commented, “I feel the pros over¬ power the cons. It is rewarding to save someone’s home. Of course, I do not do it for the money, but I feel the people really appreciate a job well done.” On the land and in the air, volunteers were needed. The Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, was formed at the New River Valley Airport. Jim Miller, an executive officer who helped cadets train for the military, said, “Since I was too young to join the Air Force, the Civil Air Patrol was the next best thing. We civilians do not do enough for the U.S.A. besides working, so this helps the country.” Woody Ayers, another CAP member, agreed. “I have an avid interest in the military and armed forces service,” Woody said. “This was one way I could participate. You have chances for scholarships and advanced rank in armed forces.” Besides giving their time, students gave the money they earned. Senior Ralph Crowder ushered at the Virginia Tech football games for $15.00 per game, and the money earned was given to a useful charity. Ralph also worked at the Fairlawn Drive-In, and he donated money to various charities, such as the March of Dimes and the American Red Cross. Ralph said he did this “because God has made me a fortunate person and has blessed me, and I would like to help the people who are not so fortu¬ nate. I think if some people in the world were not so selfish, it would be a lot nicer place to live.” Waiting for thair next assignment — Steve Huff and Tim Jonas wait for their papers during a Civil Air Patrol Meeting. One hamburger to go — Ralph Crowder writes down the order of the customers at Fairlawn Drive-In. Student Life 15 What’s Happening In A Place For All Seasons? What’s going down in your town? What’s happening in your neck of the woods? There was always something throughout the year in this community. In the spring there was always the all time favorite fund raising project—car washes. Working hands used soap and suds to wash cars at local banks and stores. During Easter holidays, churches held sunrise services and chil¬ dren hunted Easter eggs in back yards. When summer arrived, people flocked to Claytor Lake for such recreational activities as swimming, skiing, softball, and horseback. Several wagon trains were organized throughout the sum¬ mer. Henry Ford’s invention was forgot¬ “Sunrise, sunset” —Mrs. Linda Cline reads a passage from the Bible at a sunrise service given by area churches in Radford. ten as people rode throughout the coun¬ ty on horses or in wagons. For many, the thrilling event during the season was the New River Valley Fair in Dublin. Seven counties participated in the fair, which provided exciting rides, animals, art, exhibitions, and competitions. Then fall came with its numerous community events. One of these was the Count Pulaski Day Parade, held in honor of the man for whom the county was named. This parade hosted bands, floats, honored guests, and the sailors of the U.S.S. Casmire Pulaski. When Halloween rolled around, little kids dressed as witches and ghosts while teenagers and adults attended costume parties. Weeks later, on Thanksgiving Day, people counted their blessings anc stuffed themselves with turkey anc cranberry sauce. Temperatures dropped when winte arrived. When little white stuff fell out o the sky, people bundled up and playec in a winter wonderland. Snowballs wen thrown, sleds were ridden, and pond: were skated on. Avid golf fans playec that summer sport on frozen Clayto Lake. Each season brought not only change in the weather, but also some thing new and exciting to do in the com munity. It was a community or all peo pie and all seasons. On your mark, get set, go —A homemade boat race is about to start at the annual Harvey Chev¬ rolet, Inc. picnic at the Appalachian picnic grounds at Claytor Lake in July. Not a muppet, but a chuppet —A Christians- burg member of the Christian Friends, Inc. holds up her chuppet, Grandma, as she gets ready to perform a skit for the audience gathered in Jack- son Park, Pulaski. 16 Student Life Pinnacle Pride Spring Summer to school Pageant Homecoming Fads and fashions May I have this dance — Two mannequins dance the night away in the gazebo in the center of the park.

Sidewalk stepping —Mr. Jerry King, Mrs. Ma- jella Myers, and Mr. Elmer Huff lead the seniors down the sidewalk toward the gym for the gradu¬ ation ceremonies. Highlights At Night Imagine the gym lobby transformed into the entrance of a park. Imagine en¬ tering this park and finding yourself walking over a bridge with a waterfall at either side. Imagine finding a multi¬ colored flying balloon near the score- board. Imagine a gazebo with a manne¬ quin couple in center court. Imagine the reality of prom — “Saturday in the Park.” Prom was the dancing highlight for juniors and seniors, but graduation was the final highlight for the seniors. It was the moment seniors marched across the stage to an awaiting new life. The graduation ceremonies were mainly the same as the years before, but special “firsts” made this gradu¬ ation different. For the first time in the history of the school, there were four valedictorians: Donna Clark, Patricia Cole, Teresa Johnson, Rebecca Mar¬ shall. This graduation class was the largest one, with 438 students. It was the first year that three brothers and sisters graduated in the same class. Carol Russell was born in December; and her twin brothers, Mike and Mark, were born in September. Graduation and prom held memories for graduates and expectations for sen¬ iors and underclassmen. Freshman Brandon Warren said, “I look forward to graduation because that’s just before I get to go out on my own.” Rising senior Richard Sewell looked forward to graduating because, “I don’t feel like staying in school all my life.” Last minute primping — Mark McGlothlin and other seniors adjust their caps before the final graduation steps. Student Life 19 Name that tune — Ron Smith and Lisa Frazier second in the National Honor Society talent show sing I Should Have Never Let You Go” and place held in March.

Come and get it — Greg Gooch concentrates on his work as he cuts open a watermelon at the yearbook picnic, which was held at Claytor Lake during summer vacation. Got ya covered — Tim Almarode and Junior Sayers battle for a touchdown in a game of frisbee football. For Different Folks Different Strokes “Hey, look out for that bush!’’ “Oh no, my frisbee’s up on the roof again.’’ Spring had arrived, and students were out in the courtyard playing frisbee football. Shouts like those above were heard when students played this sport. The rules were similar to regular football. One could not play frisbee in the long corridor beside the Little Theatre, but one could play an instrument, sing, or dance in it, during the NHS talent show. This spring activity gave students a chance to “do their stuff.” First place winners were dancers Ramona Man¬ ning and Kym Davidson. Spring was the time when students attempted and sometimes succeeded in climbing to the roof to retrieve their fris- bees. It was the time when the physics classes, alumni, and teachers held their annual “Fiznic” (translation means physics picnic). It was also the time when each student celebrated spring by having fun just doing his own special thing. Student Life 21 The First Step As the summer drew to a close, students and teachers prepared for the beginning of a new, and hopefully better, school year. Many tasks and chores were to be undertaken by the teachers before the students entered the school. Teachers struggled with bulletin boards and attempted to get a head start on the paperwork as they pre¬ pared to welcome the students back to the classroom. Buried under mounds of paperwork, the faculty found them¬ selves with little time for making lesson plans. Teachers also had to contend with more faculty meetings in one week than they would have during an entire semester. Football games, pep rallies, club day and many other activities were on the minds of the students who tried to re¬ frain from thinking of the homework and tests that also awaited them. Going to the lake, lying in the sun, and other summer activities became things of the past as the students stepped out from summer into the school year. They had pride and school spirit and were ready to undergo the good and the bad of the new school year. 22 Student Life Sure-footed — Renee McElroy glides over the water as she skis on Claytor Lake during the sum¬ mer. Freshman fears — Kevin Alderman looks for help in his handbook. Man on the run — Doyle Miller steps from his car to the parking lot to go to his 8:00 class.

Fire away — Mr. Mike Cox, National Resources teacher, participates in the fire extinguisher pro¬ gram before the start of the school year. The teachers practice using the fire extinguishers. Student Life 23 Walking tall — During the second round of com¬ petition, Senior Terri Hypes Curry is escorted by James Peters across the stage. Sixty-six pretty maids in a row — Risers fill as the first round competition begins. Charmese Baldwin: Miss PCHS Many girls have secretly dreamed of being chosen a beauty queen. The night of Saturday, October 3, was no different when sixty-six girls were given the chance to fulfill their fantasies of being chosen Miss Pulaski County High School. The contestants were sponsored by their classes, clubs, or friends. Mr. Mont Quesenberry, sponsor of the SCA, col¬ lected the five dollar entry fee which was to be used to help pay for home¬ coming activities. When the awaited day finally arrived, the cold weather was overlooked, as each contestant outfitted herself in a long dress and turned into a beauty. Finally, at eight o’clock, Master of Ceremonies Mark Harris introduced the girls in turn to the audience and the judges. The theme of the pageant was “Fantasy”. Pianist David Jones provided the walk-on music. Escorts Mark Marcus, Jay Peters, Richard Sav¬ age, and Richard Sewell led forth each girl, lending moral and physical sup¬ port. Jay Peters said, “I had a good time, and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” Round after round, judges Darlene Simmerman, Roy A. Maiden, and Joe Sheffey scored girls on dress, poise, smile and overall appearance. At last, after four rounds of com¬ petition, the sixty-six contestants were reduced to ten. When the final cal¬ culations were totalled, the winners were announced. Second runner-up was Tracie Lynne Ondich and first run¬ ner-up was Lafon O’Dell. The girl whose fantasy came true was Charmese Baldwin. With the pleased applause of the audience ringing in her ears, she was crowned by her predecessor, Tammy Fagg. 24 Student Life Everyone loves a winner — Miss PCHS 1981, Charmese Baldwin, reigns with her court of run¬ ner-up Lafon O’Dell, second runner-up Tracie On- dich, and Miss PCHS 1980 Tammy Fagg. Three’s company — Emcee Mark Harris chats with Mr. Quesenberry and David Jones. Student Life 25 Celebrate! October 19 — Dear Diary, Today was the first day of homecom¬ ing week. Although on some Mondays it seemed like fourth down and long yard¬ age to go, special events of the day made it first and ten. Each day during homecoming was designated as a special “dress-up-as ... ” day. Today was western day, and we looked as if we had just stepped out of a John Wayne movie. October 20 — Dear Diary, To honor the second day of home¬ coming week, today was dress-up day. Suits, dresses, and ties were found in abundance in the halls and locker banks. Also in the locker banks hung Go for the goal — Ron Kimbrough rushes for yardage to help lead the Cougars to a 3-0 victory against Northside. The game was important not only because it was homecoming, but because it was a district game. decorations — posters, streamers, and stickers — to jazz up the place. Each class decorated a showcase in the com¬ mons area according to the theme of homecoming — “Celebration.” October 21 — Dear Diary, When I walked into the locker banks today, I felt as if I were walking into a political convention. Hundreds more streamers and signs were hung in the locker banks yesterday afternoon. Those burgundy and gold decorations added color to the red brick walls and brown carpeting. Some of my friends stayed after school today to decorate some more, but I worked on the home¬ coming float for my club. Each club and class can build a mini-float for home¬ coming which, along with the locker banks and showcase, will be judged the latter part of this week. Oh yeah — it was 50’s day, and students and teach¬ ers dressed as they do on “Happy Days.” October 22 — Dear Diary, Today was dress punk rock, and oh, man, it was wild. I had never seen so many people wearing garbage bags in all my life! Hair was spray-painted green, purple, silver, pink, and blue — the glare nearly blinded me. Mini-skirts, overcoats, sun glasses, and fish-net hose substituted for the normal dress of blue jeans and sweaters. 26 Student Life ■ Sitting Pretty — Autti Hyde and Joe Blanken¬ ship rule as homecoming queen and king. They and twenty other seniors were nominated by the Senior class. Royalty — Randall Hodges, duke; Robyn Walk¬ er, duchess; Joe Blankenship, king; Autti Hyde, queen; Vanessa Goad, princess; and Sherrill Hol- ston, prince. Homecoming Court: Robin Adkins, David Al¬ ley, Judy Carter, Benji Breeding, Heather McGin- ley, Randall Hodges, Becky Perdue, Jimmy Giano- poulus, Amy Stanley, Hoyt Parris, Donnie Tickle, Joe Blankenship, Autti Hyde, Scott Ward, Robyn Walker, T.J.

October 23 — Dear Diary, Today we had the big pep rally. The band performed, the cheerleaders did a pom pon routine, Coach Hicks gave a pep talk, and the floats were paraded about in the gym. Mr. Mont Quesen- berry announced the winners of the var¬ ious competitions held during the week. It had rained all day, but the game must go on. Although it was 0-0 by the end of the second quarter, the half-time activities made a score with the crowd. The band played as the girls on the homecoming court were driven in Cor¬ vettes around the track. The homecom¬ ing court was announced, and then the game began again. We won this district game against Northside 3-0 with a field goal by Chris Kinzer. October 24 — Dear Diary, Tonight was the big dance. The band “Just Us’’ played as students and graduates danced to the music. The homecoming court was announced: king and queen were Joe Blankenship and Autti Hyde; prince and princess were Sherill Holston and Vanessa Goad; and duke and duchess were Ran¬ dall Hodges and Robyn Walker. Home¬ coming was an activity-filled week with a memory-filled weekend. Hey Mr. Balloon-man — Senior Neil Kegley releases the balloons at the Homecoming football game. The Cougars won the game 3-0. cont. 28 Student Life Stand up and cheer — Most seniors do just that when Derrick Lewis brings in the senior class float during the Homecoming pep rally. Child of darkness — Regina Seitz dresses for punk day during spirit dress-up days. These dress-up days were sponsored by the Pep Club. For me?

If I’d known you were cornin’, I’d have baked a cake — Gwen Harmon and Michaela Stanley decorate the freshman lockers for home¬ coming week. PULASKI CO. HIGH SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS CENTER 5414 COUGAR TRAIL DUBLIN, VA 24084 29 Student Life f-ig Leaves To Levi’s Levi’s dominated the jean scene — Jor- dache and designers were for some, but Mike Parks wears his Levi’s. What was the most difficult decision of the morning for most students and teachers? Was it whether to use a flu¬ oride toothpaste or one with a gel? No! Was it whether to eat a bowl of Life ce¬ real or let Mikey eat it? No! The most pressing decision was what to wear. This decision was hard because there were so many different fashionable styles. Today’s styles include the west¬ ern look, classics, preppie clothes, new wave and punk styles, and casual wear. Clothes just were not fig leaves any¬ more. The western look gained popularity after such movies as “Urban Cowboy” and “The Electric Horseman” were shown on the silver screen. Since then, cowboy hats and cowboy boots have been worn by all types of people, from John Travolta to J.R. Ewing. Preppies were animal lovers. That was easily concluded from the fact that they wore alligators, ducks, whales, frogs, and hippos on all types of cloth¬ ing. From button-downs to docksides, preppies wore bright colors. Really, pink and green were prep to the “max”. Getting back down to earth, the one article of clothing most seen on a stu¬ dent or teacher was a pair of jeans. The most popular blue jeans in town were Levi’s. Most cowboys wore Wrangler and Levi, while preps were seen in Cal¬ vin Klein’s, Gloria Vanderbilt’s, or Sas- son’s. Let’s face it though, “Lee fits America”. Riding High — Sandy Frye shows off cowboy boots and cowboy hat on Handsome while Joe Guthrie awaits with his jeans and jean jacket. Dressing to impress — Prep was popular this year. Katrina Cockeran and Kaye Thompson are preppie in their skirts and espadrilles. Mike Scott and Regina Brumfield are dressed in yellow but¬ ton-downs and green pants while T.J. Sneli mod¬ els designer jeans, a button-down and docksides. Gone were the days of the hoop skirt and mini-skirt. Here today were just-be- low-the-knee skirts and dresses. Today the word for ties was thin, not bow or wide. Somber colors were a thing of the past, as pinks, lavenders, greens, and yellows descended. The sloppy look was out, and neat was in. Shaggy hair was rarely seen, and the short, clipped look abounded. Jewelry achieved new significance and a female ear without an earring was seldom seen. Whether you were at home on the range in Levi jeans, or a punky purple pantsuit, there were many fashions to wear. 1 m ■ ;k! 11 i jHl 1 30 Student Life Kicking back — Phillip Slaughter, Pam Propst, Terri Hubbard, Tammy Boyers, and Keith Newton promote the casual look. The classic look ■— Thomas White wears a navy blazer with gray flannels, Wendy Estes shows off a pastel skirt and blazer combination, and Barry Brown sports a knit tie and tweed pants. On the green — Saloon shoes, penny loafers, Docksides, Turtles, dress shoes, and Topsiders are shown ready to tee off. Student Life 31 Cold congregation — Forty-degree weather and chilly winds combined to make a cold home¬ coming game. Students keep under wraps to stay warm. Red, white, and blue — In a concert by Free¬ dom Jam, 18 year old Greg Montycka, the base guitarist, demonstrates his musical ability. The Connecticut native also plays saxophone, piano, and clarinet. 32 Student Life Under The Night Lights Ping, Ping, ding . . . dong; da-da-da— “Oh man, another pac man eaten! Wa, wa, wa .. . boom—” all right, I finally shot down that space ship!” These and other sounds and sayings were heard at the Golden Galaxy and other game rooms which provided night time enter¬ tainment for homework-worn students. While some students were Space In¬ vaders or Pac Man addicts, others were loyal movie goers. Many students and teachers saw For Your Eyes Only, Superman II, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Endless Love, and Halloween II. Students were anxious to become film critics. Wendy Estes said, “For Your Eyes Only was great, the most suspenseful movie I’ve ever seen!” Of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mike Dun¬ can said, “It was very exciting. It offered a new type of adventure movie!” Not all students had “wheels” to go cruisin’ at night, so they used another type of “wheels” for entertainment— roller skating wheels. Dominion Skating Rink in Christiansburg was one of the sites where these wheels got rollin’ and students cruised across a wooden floor. Students who felt that they “de¬ served a break today” went to McDon¬ ald’s, Hardee’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, or Burger King for munchies. The teenage diet of hamburgers, pizzas, french fries, Cokes, and frosties were consumed at these and other fast-food places. When the sun went down in this Vir¬ ginia town, people went out for the evening. From the traditional ball games on Friday night to the most modern vid¬ eo games, excitement was easily found “under the night light,” of the surround¬ ing areas. flf I m Big Mac attack —A part of many students’ night life was spent at fast food restaurants. Richard Toler and Paige Game debate their selections at McDonald’s while Annette Manning waits to take their orders. Annette did this many nights during the school year. Show time —Moviegoers Susan Vaughn and Jill Barr stroll into the Pulaski Theatre to catch the nine o’clock show. Halt! —While other students were out eating and seeing movies at night, John Thomas and other athletes of the school were busy practicing, per¬ fecting, and playing their sport. Student Life 33 Reflections of winter — Scenic Dublin lives covered with snow on an inclement January day. Here we go — Dublin school children take ad¬ vantage of a break away from school to enjoy sleigh riding in the snow. Those Were The Weeks That Were Not Snowstorms: they started early, with the first one coming even before Thanksgiving. Then, there were two more before Christmas vacation began. They were pretty good hints that bigger snows were yet to come. Then, on January 9, thermometers plunged to unbelievable lows, and high winds raced through the entire New Riv¬ er Valley. Subzero temperatures caused pipes to freeze and burst, usually de¬ pendable vehicles refused to start, and the demand for electrical power reached an all-time high. “Schools are closed in Pulaski County on Monday,” the announcer said; and students and teachers alike were grateful for a day’s vacation. Tuesday saw little improvement and schools were closed again. Wednes¬ day’s forecast called for temperatures to climb a bit, but weather map buffs confidently watched a low pressure system moving up from the south. The low collided with the cold air, and Wednesday morning there was lots of snow and once more, “Schools are closed in Pulaski County today.” Thursday brought more snow, an¬ other three inches or so. For some stu¬ dents and teachers, and for many moth¬ ers, the vacation was starting to get a bit boring. Eating six meals per day and watching soap operas started to take its toll. The roads looked somewhat better on Friday morning and some people surely had started to get dressed. Then, “There will be no school in Pulaski County today.” Nothing fell over the weekend, but the cold continued. Mothers suffered the symptoms of battle fatigue, and grocery bills doubled. Was there hope for Mon¬ day? “There will be no school in Pulaski County today.” Tuesday brought an unforgettable ice storm, and everything outside was cov¬ ered with iced-over snow. It was still there on Wednesday, and many families were slowly falling apart, as “cabin fe¬ ver” took its toll. Thursday morning. “Schools will open one hour late in Pulaski County.” It was like “old home week.” Students and teachers were genuinely glad to see each other! Friday morning. Temperatures plunged again and there was ice every¬ where. It seemed no one could make a decision. First, it was a two hour delay. Finally, “Pulaski County schools are closed today.” Incredibly, the two weeks passed with no unusual rise in the area’s suicide rate. On Monday, January 25, it was back to school — for awhile at least. Snow bound — Pulaski County school buses are cold and empty while students are on a winter break. 34 Student Life Student Life 35 Trashy comedy — In Act II of The Odd Couple Ritchie Gilman, Felix Ungar, pours out his tale of woe. Silent Thoughts — Robin Quesenberry and Tracy Howard concentrate over their lines while rehearsing The Brick and The Rose. The Show Must Go On . . . Between the anxiety of being select¬ ed for a part, the tiresome daily prac¬ tices and the actual production of the show, many of the Pulaski County Play¬ ers realized that producing a play takes time, effort and help from people who were willing to work. The players presented Neil Simon’s play, The Odd Couple on December 5, 1982. The play was well received, al¬ though many problems did arise during practices, such as sudden role changes, sicknesses, and bad weather. After practicing for two months and working these problems out as well as possible, it was finally time. The results ... suc¬ cess in many forms. Both actors and crew members not only gained experience, but also changed their images in the eyes of oth¬ ers. Crew members and actors grew closer together as the play progressed. Even though crew members were not in the limelight, they felt very much a part of the show. Angie Warden, props man¬ ager, said, “It gave me a sense of pride in being able to work for the play and the school.” Actress Stephanie Cox added, “The play was especially fun for me because I helped with props and stage managing and I became an actress at the last min¬ ute.” Teresa Viers, who later became stage manager stated, “I enjoyed the play and getting to know my fellow workers. We were all like one big family.” Ms. Nancy Ballinger, the drama teacher, was pleased with the final per¬ formance. “It took a lot of time and ef¬ fort, but it was worth it. I wish more peo¬ ple could have seen it. I am very proud of the work of both the cast members and the crew on the show.” The Brick and the Rose was another successful production. This one-act play was performed by the players in district competition on March 16. The long afternoons spent in the drama room and the Little Theater caused many headaches and many strained voices, but the applause and feeling of success far outweighed the problems faced in preparation. 36 Student Life Behind closed doors — Poker playing buddies Tracy Howard, Bill White, Kelly Hopkins, Harvey Carmichael and Brad Nester discuss possible sui¬ cide methods in the bathroom.

Dance The lights dimmed, the music blasted, and the mood for dancing was set. One by one, couples walked out onto the floor, until their ‘‘boogie-ing’’ bodies were elbow to elbow. Dancing was a way to “wind down” after an exciting game. Every type of music was played-from pop to punk and soul to slow. It was supplied by the ever-popular Irving Lar- gen and Disco Dimensions. These dj’s would accept requests of favorite songs. Many comments were heard, such as “Please play” ‘OH NO!’ “That’s our song!”, and “I’m absolutely dying to hear ‘Rock Lobster.’ ” Along with the different types of mu¬ sic went the different comments from the dancers. “Hey baby, ya wanna dance?” “Oooo! look at who’s here!” and “Why is he dancing with her?” were among the many heard. All Night The sock hops were sponsored by clubs, organizations, and classes in or¬ der to make money. The cost to get in was $2.00, and a student I.D. was re¬ quired. Teachers were given a specific sock hop which they had to chaperone. Some teachers grumbled because of the loud music, but most teachers en¬ joyed the activity. English teacher Miss Brenda Waller said, “It gives the teach¬ ers an opportunity to talk with students outside of school and to get to know them better.” Every now and then a teacher could be seen shaking his or her “booty” along with the younger danc¬ ers. Sock-hops were a place to dance, meet people, and just plain “hang loose.” So whether you “punked out,” “jammed to the beat” or “swayed to the music” dances were the place to be. Student Life 39 SP-IR-IT! “Get fired up! Get fired up!” “Defense. Defense, Defense.” “SP-IR-IT. Got the spirit?” These shouts of spirit were heard in the football stadium, in the gym, and on the baseball field as cheerleaders shouted at the top of their lungs. Al¬ though the weather was cold at some of these games, the fans got fired-up from the excitement and tension of the game. Spirit was not only found at ball games. Pep rallies-a joy to students who wanted to get out of class-had an atmosphere of excitement for the 2,100 plus students who cheered, played in the band, or shouted from the bleach¬ ers. The noise was almost deafening. Each student expressed spirit in his own fashion-literally. On special dress- up days students were allowed to break the dress code and wear hats, cos¬ tumes, hair spray, and garbage bags. Hats, ties, and jeans were worn on their respective days when the team played a home game. Punk rock, 50’s, and West¬ ern days were special dress-up days during homecoming week when stu¬ dents wore hair spray, sun glasses, their parents’ clothes, or cowboy hats and boots. “There is a lot more spirit at the high school then there was at the middle school,” commented freshman Joe Guthrie. “There seems to be more inter¬ est in getting the students involved in supporting the teams through such things as pep rallies.” Spirit chit-chat — During a home game the junior varsity football cheerleaders gather to talk about the next cheer.

No, they were senior boys supporting their class. On November 14, these seniors and some faculty supporters discarded all their inhibitions, dressed up like women, and strolled across the stage of the Lit¬ tle Theatre, delighting a large audience. Some of them did not survive the first round of competition, but others en¬ dured the laughter and made it to the final round. The winners were fun¬ niest—Jeff Webster, sexiest—Hoyt Parris, sexiest legs—Phillip Dillon, best looking—Scott Trobaugh, most origi¬ nal—Thomas White. During the long process of elimina¬ tion, the audience was entertained by Mr. Jerry King, who serenaded the love¬ ly John Westberg with an unusual ver¬ sion of “Lady.” Another big hit was the Jug Band, a musical marvel consisting of John Joseph, Harriet Keister, Don Skeen, Gary McCoy, and the one and only Bo Keister.

Helping to prepare the beauties were many mothers, girl¬ friends, and friends. Painting finger¬ nails, putting on wigs, stuffing bras, shoving big feet into narrow, high- heeled shoes, and donning that special dress consumed much pre-pageant time. It was an experience that many participants would never forget. Larry Felts said, “It was weird wearing a dress and high heels. It was embarrass- ing. The female escorts had a unique ex¬ perience, too. Dressed in a distinctly male style, the senior girls escorted the burly male beauties as they treked across the stage for the judges. “The funniest part was seeing all the studs making fools of themselves,” said Wen¬ dy Estes. Most participants agreed that it was fun, all done in the spirit of together¬ ness. The senior class emerged wealth¬ ier from the experience, and many stu¬ dents and teachers spent an evening laughing at themselves and providing unique entertainment for their audience. Not exactly Madame Butterfly —but Thomas White’s dress and false eye-lashes easily gave him the title of Most Original. 42 Student Life Pretty maids in a row —Andy “Buxom Bur- cham, John “Millie’’ Milstead, David “Daisy Mae’’ Alley, and Greg “Duchess of Bolden await the next contestant with grace and dignity.

Various English classes saw Ro¬ meo and Juliet, calculus classes and the science club heard an assembly on nucle¬ ar energy, and art classes sponsored an art show. These and other learning ex¬ periences helped students to step from an academic world into an adult world.

In high school, especially, there was a lot of hunting to find oneself and where and what one should be. Some students found themselves following the lead of others. Others took the initiative as leaders and found themselves step¬ ping out from the crowd. These individ¬ uals could be found in all parts of the school. The vocational classes offered both training and experience for those who decided early what aspect of the working world they would like to undertake. It was in these classes that the students could defy outmoded traditions and be what they wanted to be. After learning the basics of a desired course, the student had the option of fur¬ thering his education at college or begin¬ ning work immediately after graduation. Courses such as Business, Distributive Education, and Service Occupations al¬ lowed the student to work while in high school. The students received one credit for the class and one for the job. Agriculture, a four year course, was divided into four main groups of interest. Agricultural production dealt with farm¬ ing techniques. Natural Resources Man¬ agement covered industrial agriculture, forestry, wild life, soil and water conser¬ vation, and outdoor recreation. Agricul¬ tural science was divided, with the stu¬ dent spending ninety days in the shop and ninety days in class. In the agricul¬ tural science class, the student learned about farm machinery, welding, wood working, and small engine repairs. The Horticulture Department had the use of the greenhouse which had been built by Building Maintenance students. Basically a three year course, the student learned the biology of plants in the first year, how to make arrangements and corsages the second year, and did land¬ scaping and decorations for formal func¬ tions in the third year. One of the major projects of the horticulture students was the arrangements for the mock wedding, which was an activity of the Family Liv¬ ing class.

Curl talk — Senior Rachel East uses her well learned techniques to “perm” Jolene East’s hair. One Step Ahead In Skill And Experience One of the better aspects of vocational classes was the fact that the students were able to get first hand experience. They did the job as they learned about it. The food service department was a good example of this. In this class each stu¬ dent had a job ranging from pot washer to waitress or cook or manager. Every week the eleven students rotated jobs. The second year students ran the Coffee Shop at breakfast hours and the Cougar Den for lunch hours. The menus, with breakfast entries such as the Panther, Little Kitty and Hungry Cougar, were printed by the students in the printing department. Another class where balanced meals were planned was the Practical Nursing class. During the one-year, three-hour course, students learned about all the body structures and functions. They practiced everything from making beds to giving I.V.’s. A few weeks before Christ¬ mas many could be found in the Com¬ mons Area taking blood pressure read¬ ings. They also helped out with the bloodmobile. Courses in Cosmetology were offered for three years. Students in this class learned about hair and nail structure. They put in “perms” and gave manicures to students and people from the commu¬ nity during and after school hours for a minimal fee. They learned the latest techniques for all kinds of hairdos, in¬ cluding the punk cuts and feathering. 48 Academics ■ ■ i ' That’s kids’stuff — Kelly Peterson and Katrina Lin- kous have their ups and downs in child care.

For these people, the Vocational Building offered several classes. The particular class depended entirely upon the field of endeavor the student wanted to explore. Drafting was one course where the stu¬ dent could gain knowledge to be used in several fields. In this class, the focus was on the various methods used in drawing machine parts and architectural designs. The skills of drafting could be used by architects, engineers, industrial design¬ ers, and other technical workers. The Industrial Art classes put the skills learned in drafting into practice. The basics of carpentry were focused upon, and Building Trades used all these skills to learn how to build everything for a house, carpentry and masonry work included. The Building Maintenance class had the job of keeping the school and its grounds in top shape. Students in the printing class learned how to typeset and run the A. B. Dick press. They printed the Cougar Prowler, Inklings, the county Christmas cards, and menus for the Cougar Den. The Vocational Building also boasted an Auto Body Auto Mechanics shop. Students and teachers could take their vehicles there to be serviced. Auto Body students did sanding, body work, and paint jobs. The Auto Mechanics class worked on engines and aligned tires. Upon graduation these students could get part-time or full-time jobs making twenty dollars an hour. Altogether, the Vocational Building of¬ fered a variety of interesting classes that would help students get a job either im¬ mediately after graduation, or gave the basic background needed for college. These classes were just a few examples of how the school stepped out from the crowd.

A Penny craved, a penny earned —Inklings co-editor Stephanie Cox throws out some ideas, on raising money for the literary magazine. Publishing For Credit Why would anyone choose to come to school on Saturdays, at night, or on snow days? What sort of person would volun¬ tarily take a class that involved hours of work outside of class? Why would a pho¬ tographer, of his own accord, subject himself to the foul smells of the darkroom and the abusive language of classmates who are impatiently waiting for a pic¬ ture? Wh y would any sane student spend hours raising funds for a literary maga¬ zine? The answers to the above ques¬ tions are many and varied, but the amaz¬ ing fact was that many students actually chose to take classes in yearbook and journalism, or volunteered to work on the literary magazine without class credit. Publications had their origins in the English department, with classes offered in Yearbook I and II and Journalism I and II. From these “working” classes came the Cougar Pinnacle and the Cougar Prowler. Inklings, the literary magazine, was an English-directed activity, but was not offered for class credit. Yearbook classes officially met for only two periods each day; but, in fact, most yearbook students put in many ex¬ tra hours. Drawing layouts, writing copy, setting up pictures, arguing, and waiting for pictures to be printed were all a part of yearbook class. Interviewing, news gathering, layout, and proofreading were the activities that occupied journalism students. Literary magazine staffers so¬ licited poems, plays, essays, short sto¬ ries, and worked long hours to raise funds for their printing costs. Publica¬ tions students were easy to recognize; they frequently had a dazed look on their faces, some were prone to have back pains, resulting from sitting on a stack of yearbooks for an hour typing, others were almost always in pursuit of a coach who had not returned a questionnaire, and many were frequently heard to make the statement, “I promise I’ll have it fin¬ ished by Friday.” Why did students take classes in publi¬ cations when they could have opted for traditional grammar and literature? Yearbook I student Donna Babb said, “Yearbook is better than other classes because time goes by so fast. It’s hard, but it’s fun, even with the pressure of deadlines.” Inklings co-editor Stephanie Cox said, “We wanted a literary maga¬ zine that would be a trend setter, some¬ thing we would be proud of. The worst thing about being on the literary maga¬ zine staff is going to people for help and they couldn’t or wouldn’t give it.” Jour¬ nalism student Donna Akers said, “Working on the newspaper is fun, but outsiders often don’t understand or ap¬ preciate all the work we do.” Despite the difficulties encountered, many students chose to be a part of the publications di¬ vision of academics. It was all part of being different, of stepping out from the crowd and making an unforgettable con¬ tribution. 52 Acadamics Cleaning the copy —Mr. Dave Campbell, a student teacher from Virginia Tech, comes to the aid of yearbook student Wendy Estes as an approaching deadline creeps closer.

Band: A Hard Note To Get Many students thought band class was no more than a free period. What a mis¬ conception! Band was just like any other class in many ways. Students had to read the mu¬ sic and understand it, and learn and practice scales. Director William Propst graded the students individually on the quality of the sounds produced. There was competition between classmates and friends for a better position in chair placements. Band members also were faced with homework: practicing scales and learning the music that was played in concerts. Senior Greg Bolden said, “Band has been the best thing in high school. There’s nothing that can match it. In it¬ self, band is a totally unique experience.’’ Thirty students tried out for All-Re- gionals. Some students came home hap¬ pier than others, but it turned out to be a good day and a good experience for ev¬ eryone. Some of the major events that the band participated in were the con¬ certs. The Christmas concert, which was the first, had the three bands playing jol¬ ly and slow songs. Both the familiar and not so familiar songs of the season were played. The bands also held a spring con¬ cert and participated in the District Sev¬ en Band Festival. The band got its exercise just like a gym class. Special exercises were done by the students to get in shape after va¬ cations. There were stretching and breathing exercises. Band members thought breathing was a simple process, but they learned otherwise. They had to learn how to breath correctly, in order to play their instruments better. Junior Shirley Vest said, “I think the exercises are hilarious. But if they work, use them.” Sophomore Brad Nester added, “The ex¬ ercises serve a purpose and liven up the class.” Drummer boy—Covering a lot of territory, senior Robin Rupe plays to the beat on the tri-toms, a set of three drums.

Winning Sounds When one mixes approximately 140 students with instruments of all types, including eighteen flags, five rifles, two managers, and one director, what is the result? Why, of course, the prospects for a marching band. The marching band started their sea¬ son off with some unexpected but well deserved surprises. Rifles walked away with the first place auxiliary trophy at the William Byrd competition for the first time since the school came together eight years ago. Flags received a first place trophy in co- lorguard, and the band itself won a first place trophy as well, while the drum ma¬ jors placed second. The Wytheville com¬ petition brought a Class A Superior rat¬ ing and a first place for the band again. Though the band enjoyed the sights and rides of the state fair in Richmond, they were not fortunate enough to receive any of the trophies. Another surprise was having a girl, Annette Manning, as a manager for the first time. Jeff Marcus, one of the manag¬ ers said, “She upheld her part of the work, so therefore it was just as if I were working with another guy.” One lived through all the home and away games, not to mention the long trips to numerous competitions plus the total chaos which accompanies having 140 students at one time. Mr. William Propst did that each school year, but he took it all in stride. “It’s just all a part of my job,” he said. Another portion of the band was the stage band. Their music selection ranged from jazz and ballets to rock. A member, Ron Smith, said, “Being in both stage and marching band has been a great hon¬ or.” Their performances included playing for the Ruritan Club at the Red Carpet Inn during Christmas, and Christmas and spring concerts. Trumpet player Ca- mela Duncan said, “Even though there were no tryouts, being a part of the stage band was still a rewarding experience.” The other side of band —Mr. Bill Propst and the marching band show another side of band life as they practice in the classroom. 56 Academics Lights, music, action ... —The stage band perfects its style with an after school practice. Stage Band, Marching Band 57 Loud, Sing Out Strong ing Out What do you get when you cross a musical starring Gene Kelly with a Christmas concert given by the concert choir? Singing in the snow. Although the snow was not pouring the night of the Christmas concert, the choir sang up a storm to tunes like Winter Wonderland, The Bells, The Sleigh, and Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming. Concert choir was composed of fifty- two students who had successfully audi¬ tioned for director Mr. Mont Quesen- berry. Although auditions caused sweaty palms and cold feet, Mary Powell audi¬ tioned, “Because I love to sing and I love to communicate the beauty of music to others.” Debbie Vest commented, “It is a rewarding experience to see if you are qualified enough to be in concert choir. “Practice makes perfect,” and each The forbidden food —Lisa Johnson prepares the hospitality room for the All-Regional Chorus direc¬ tors. All-Regional Chorus was held the weekend of February 19-21. 58 Academics day during class practice the choir strove for perfection. Although “nobody’s perfect,” near-perfection was achieved as the choir competed in Junior High and Senior High Regionals and came through with shining colors. Twelve of the freshmen of concert choir made Ju¬ nior High all-Regional; and thirty-one sophomores, juniors, and seniors made Senior High all-Regional. Mike Cayton, who made Senior High Regional, said, “Regional competition was the most rewarding experience.” Two hundred students from around the region were sheltered throughout the county. The weekend of February 19-21, they competed for Virginia All-State and practiced for the Regional concert on Sunday. The choir did not stop practicing after regionals, because in May the troop marched into Atlanta and participated in the choral competition at Six Flags Over Georgia. “The choir will gain experience in competing and confidence in ourselves and other choir members as a group,” said accompanist David Jones. The choir sang not only for judges and competition; but they also sang the na¬ tional anthem before each home basket¬ ball game, caroled through the school the day before Christmas vacation, and for organizations outside of school. Lisa Johnson summed up her year in the choir when she said, “Singing gives me a feel¬ ing of accom plishment when I see the many smiling faces of people young and old.” Concert choir was composed of many voices which were loud, strong, and dedicated. “Joy to the World ”—The Ruritan Club listens to the concert choir’s Christmas performance. This is one of the concerts given by the choir. “O Say Can You See ”—The concert choir sings the national anthem to the spectators at the beginning of each home game. “The Sound of Music ”—The concert choir brings the joy of music into the lives of Ruritan Club mem¬ bers during the Christmas holidays. (In the Cougar Den.) Practice, practice and more practice —For four weeks the concert choir rehearsed for their up¬ coming regional concert. Concert Choir 59 Name That Tune Some students spent class time learning about the siege of Petersburg during the Civil War. Most learned how to square dance in their physical education class. Several learned how to build brick walls, paint with water colors, and cut hair. Choir students played a hard and important game — name that tune. Seriously though, they spent hundreds of class hours learning and practicing songs for competitions and concerts. “Choir is a great experience, and it’s one of the better classes here at the school,” said Gloria Kingrea. She went on to say, “We’ve worked toward lettering and have learned many new songs which I have enjoyed.” All four choirs — concert, mixed, upper girls’, and ninth grade girls’ — practiced for their Christmas and spring con¬ certs where they sang such songs as “Winter Carol,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?”and “Winter Wonder¬ land.” Although choirs were a traditional part of the school, this was the first year for the ninth grade girls’ choir. This youngest choir gave concerts with the upper girls’ choir. Countless students have been taught by a stu¬ dent teacher; and the girls’ choir, along with the mixed choir, was no ex¬ ception. They were taught by a stu¬ dent teacher, Ms. Susie Mabe, from Radford University. Motivation was a key to singing suc¬ cess, and it unlocked many a door for choir members. Anita Davis said she was motivated to be in a choir be¬ cause, “I wanted to go as far as I could in a musical career.” Mary Collier said she was motivated because, “I love to listen to music, and to participate in it.” She also commented, “When ev¬ eryone is participating and it sounds good, it feels good to be a part of choir.” P ay it again, Samantha — The girls’ choir gives their rendition of a camp fire sing along during fourth period.

Arts And Artists Rembrandt, radios and adding ma¬ chines? Not any more, now there are star wars, video games, and computers. Times have changed and so have today’s libraries and art classes. The Instructional Material Center pro¬ vided reading material and other forms of media. There was an excellent selec¬ tion of books and audiovisual aids. Among the newer and more modern equipment in the IMC was a computer with a two-disc drive, graphics board, and print out. The Kno-Go book detec¬ tion system helped to prevent students from leaving the IMC without checking out materials. Libraries were traditionally known to be quiet, closed-in areas. The IMC, how¬ ever, was an inviting place with no threatening librarians pointing at one and saying, “SHHHHH!” Art classes did not abandon the tradi¬ tional forms, such as finger painting, al¬ together; but they did take a great step forward. Several things were taught in these classes—drawing, jewelry making, soft sculptures, clay, wood, metal, stained glass, and stitchery. A special art class was provided for people who liked to draw and paint. They painted with water colors, oils, and pas¬ tels. I f one took an art class, he learned art appreciation as he used each media. Mrs. Love said, “We try to make the students aware that art is all around them. Art is 10% creativity, and 90% hard work and perseverance.” Junior Debbie Frye thought art class was a great way to explore creativity. She said, “I like being able to express myself through my own ideas.” Art, IMC 63 Results of Mock Election Governor D—Charles Robb 251 R—Marshall Coleman 160 Lieutenant Governor D—John Davis 216 R—Nathan Miller 196 Attorney General D—Gerald Baliles 226 R—Wyatt Durrett 170 House of Representatives D—Joan Munford 235 R—Jeff Stafford 213 R—Jerry Geisler 155 R—Ward Teel 150 Poster power — The social studies’ bulletin board informs students of the powerful changes being made in the Middle East and Europe.

History Affects Current Events With each advancing year of high [school, students became more aware of :he world around them. Each had to stop Jind take a perspective view of the geo¬ graphical, political, cultural, and eco¬ nomic changes going on. Social Studies classes were designed to help the student in his understanding pf the “real” world. Each class went about this in a different manner, but the results were the same. The study of past history and current events showed to all that history does repeat itself. When students in the U.S. History :lasses were taught about the depres¬ sion, it was easy to see why they were able to confuse it with the present. The ‘recession” as newswriters tabled it, had iiit the nation fast and hard. Reagono- mics, suspiciously like F.D.R.’s New Deal, were being put into effect to help uplift Tie floundering economy. Students itched as soup lines were opened and t the hardship of an 8.9% jobless rate. Economics and sociology classes were helpful in understanding just why the market had fallen and 9.5 million people were out of work. Geography, History, and Goverment students took special notice of the hap¬ penings of the world. They watched as Polish General Wojciech Jaruzelski put martial law into effect to stifle the spreading Solidarity movement. Inci¬ dents like this and the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made students realize just how important the U.S. governmental system is and helped them understand their rights as citizens. The rights of citizenship became espe¬ cially important to upperclassmen. One of these rights, the right to vote, was in¬ troduced in the government classes. A mock election was held on Friday, No¬ vember 3, 1981. Just like the real elec¬ tion, the Democratic party made a clean sweep. When the votes were counted the results were Charles Robb — Governor; Richard Davis — Lieutenant Governor; Gerald Baliles — Attorney General; and Joan Munford, House of Representatives. The government classes of Mr. Wayne Jenkins hosted a series of lectures by dis¬ tinguished county officials such as J. R. Schrader, editor of the Southwest Times; Jim Logan, a stockbroker; Kenneth Dob¬ son, superintendent of county school sys¬ tems; and Everett Shockley, who was prosecuting attorney in the Stephen Ep- perley Gina Hall murder case. Current events were also important to the psychology classes. The class stud¬ ied the causes and effects of these events on the mind. Social studies classes were required of all since they led to self-improvement and a better understanding of the world. A look around showed to all that a little improvement would benefit all mankind. A look around also showed to all that the present and the future depend upon the past. It showed history does repeat itself. ball] Social Studies 65 Dressed to kill —Eddie Sullivan portrays the beauti¬ ful Katherine, with Derek Lewis portraying her hus¬ band Petruchio in William Shakespeare’s “Taming of The Shrew.” Around and around we go —Junior Linkous prepares the tape player for another lesson in his French IV class.

Comunicar, communiquer, mitteilen. Say what? Communication. It was the name of the game for any and all stu¬ dents who took English, Spanish, Ger¬ man, or French. Reading, writing, listen¬ ing, and talking were the activities found in all language classes. English was required of all students, and for many it was almost a foreign lan¬ guage. After having fulfilled certain re¬ quirements, students were free to choose from many elective classes. Among those classes offered for English credit were Shakespeare, Children’s Literature, Cre¬ ative Writing Development, Debate, Yearbook, Mass Media, and Advertising. Traditional grammar and literature courses existed along side of the highly untraditional Film and Television Pro¬ duction. The variety of classes offered a variety of activities, from making one’s own mini-film to visiting a funeral home. Senior Donna Akers said, “I basically like the elective system, but I would like to have more academic classes.” Also, senior Juanita Huffman said, “I like be¬ ing able to choose my classes. The vari¬ ety is nice.” Some students accepted the challenge of trying to learn a foreign language. De¬ spite the frequently heard cries of “I’ll never learn that!” or “Please let me keep my book open!” many students plunged in and attempted to learn German, French, or Spanish. Students were bom¬ barded with verbs to conjugate, vocabu¬ lary to learn, and dialogues to recite. However, it was not all work and no play. Spanish and French students learned to sing their favorite Christmas carols in another language. A big favor¬ ite for all foreign language students was the “cultural experience,” a euphemism for eating in class. Of course, the food for the “experience” was of a foreign variety, from tacos and Mexican wedding cakes to crepes. The ultimate in cultural exper¬ iences was undertaken by some German students who planned a summer trip to Germany with their teacher, Mr. John Freeman. Why undertake the difficult and tackle another language when just trying to learn English was difficult for many? Se¬ nior Junior Linkous said, “Basically, I’m taking French to understand better a dif¬ ferent society and culture than our own.” Junior Lisa Sexton said, “Taking a for¬ eign language gives me an exciting glimpse of the world outside of Pulaski County.” Languages provided the glimps¬ es outside. And away we go —Stephanie Cox, Mark Aust, Suzie Brillheart and Jay Sadler discuss possible places to visit when members of the German class go to Ger¬ many. Languages 67 Where Else Could You Have Fun? The academic pods were all identical in shape and dimension, but the people that inhabited the pods gave them a per¬ sonality all their own. One pod in par¬ ticular played a game, three coins, in the teachers’ station during lunch. Just one pod had teachers who taught that moles were not animals but 6.0 X10 23 molecules or atoms, had a “Health Food Eat-In”, and fried dissected frog legs. Just one pod was composed of teachers described by Mr. Tinker Hillman, American history and psychology teacher, as being, “a group of semi-crazy people” — the sci¬ ence pod. Where else could students learn about bacterial functions and make yogurt? Bi¬ ology I taught the yogurt lover how to do for himself. Ms. Harriet Keister said, “I felt that the lab was beneficial for several reasons. It gave students a chance to do a science activity in more of a ‘kitchen’ type atmosphere, strictly non-threaten¬ ing, but learning-oriented nonetheless. And, since yogurt is considered an essen¬ tial “health” food, it was easy to relate the bacterial function of yogurt to good health and have a ‘Health Food Eat-In’ to celebrate!” Biology I, taught by Mr. Tom Hower¬ ton, Mr. Bob McGinley, Mr. Jim Kelly, and Ms. Harriet Keister, was not only in the food business but its teachers were also the chief . . . surgeons in the pod, with all the patients being small, de¬ ceased animals. Grasshoppers, crayfish, and frogs were dissected and studied by the students. Since mammals were espe¬ cially important, this group also dissect¬ ed fetal pigs in order to study mammalia anatomy. Other courses besides Biology I taught in the science pod were earth science. Chemistry I and II, physics. Biology II, American history, and psychology. Al¬ though the teachers were busy as bees, they had fun playing three coin during their thirty minute lunch break. Three coin was played by a group of people who stood in a circle with three coins in their right hand. Everybody placed his hands behind his back, and transferred any number of the three coins to the left hand. Each person guessed how many total coins the group now had. The person who made the correct or closest guess was out. The last one in was the loser. Then a three coin tournament was held. The ob¬ ject was to stay out of the finals. Both students and teachers played three coin. Students were a big part of the pod activities because they were the rea¬ son the teachers set up labs and projects. Biology II student, Norma Clark com¬ mented, “I like the class because it is an interesting subject and I needed it to fur¬ ther my education.” “We are a pretty close bunch. We do a lot of stuff together, like attempt skiing,” said Chemistry I and II teacher Mr. John Joseph. He went on to say that the motto of the science pod was, “Where else could you have so much fun?” It was all more than learning science, it was fun science.

Science 69 Let’s Get Physical One of Olivia Newton-John’s best known hits of the year was “Let’s Get Physical ’ and the physical education teachers seemed to take the hit song to heart. From classes consisting of basic exercises to aerobic dancing, P.E. teach¬ ers gave the students a workout. Freshmen and sophomores were active all year in P.E., and some juniors and seniors took advanced P.E. One section of advanced P.E. was taking Newton- John’s advice and getting “animal’’ with the weights in the field house. Another section of advanced P.E. students acted as aides for the P.E. teachers, and they helped out when the underclassmen “dressed out” or when they were in class¬ room health. This occasionally became confusing for aides and teachers alike. because underclassmen were studying the art of rotation by alternating weeks of dressing for action and studying health books. The advanced weight-lifting class was concentrated around football. Players stayed in top condition all year while lift¬ ing and running under the watchful eye of Coach Joel Hicks. Physical education classes certainly came a long way. “I think at one time physical education was nothing more than throwing a ball out to the class,” Coach Dickie McMillian explained. “Now physical educators are extremely well- trained in all sports and physical activi¬ ties. This training is passed on to their students in physical education classes.” A common goal shared by all P.E. in¬ structors was to introduce many different physical activities to students. These classes provided knowledge that the stu¬ dent could put into use in his future. “My favorite activity in gym is volley¬ ball because you can take out your frus¬ trations on the ball, while exerting a great amount of energy,” said Jill Barr. Alan Frost added, “I enjoy P.E. because it gives me a time during the day in which I can relax.” There were highs and lows in class for most P.E. students. The highs were the thrill of winning, and the lows were the agonizing defeats. The most excruciat¬ ingly painful moments, however, came after the first week of sit-ups and push¬ ups. The pain was soon forgotten in the glow of success.

I 1 72 Academics Skills Without Frills Which is the better deal, this twenty- four ounce jar at $2.29 or two twelve ounce jars at $1.49 each? How does one know if the bank is really paying him 5V % interest on a savings account? Do all of those options on that new car really add up to $700? Is this enough money to buy two bags of potato chips and still have enough left to buy lunch? Are those shoes really priced at 30% less than the original price? The answers to all of these questions could be found by any student with a knowledge of basic math skills. A set number of math credits were required of all students, although many were heard to protest, “But I’ll never use all this math!” Despite the protest, the state and the school decreed that all students receiv¬ ing a diploma had to have met certain requirements in various math skills. The math pod was a place without frills, and it was characterized by pencils with teethmarks, well-thumbed textbooks, and chalk boards covered with problems. The curriculum was varied, with subjects ranging from very basic math courses to algebra, calculus, and math analysis. The pod was clouded with equations, fractions, word problems, and complex geometric designs. Rare was the student who entered and left the pod with total clarity about his particular class. Math was endlessly challenging but often baf¬ fling. Many students, however, took a great deal of pride in finally being able to “figure it all out.” It was one of the “musts” of the curriculum. Geometry student Paige Game said, “It’s some¬ times confusing, but some people don’t realize how often you can use geometry in everyday life.” Algebra I student Su¬ san Vaughn added, “Math is very diffi¬ cult for me, and it requires a lot of work and time. Solving a difficult equation gives me a sense of accomplishment.” Academics 73 CLUBS CLUBS CLUBS CLUBS ORGANIZATIONS Cavemen used clubs to hunt game and protect themselves. During the days of the wild wild West, gamblers used the ace of clubs to make pairs, full houses, and royal flushes. Today’s students partici¬ pated in clubs as a form of outside activ¬ ity. From the walk-a-thon sponsored by the FBLA to concerts given by the choirs, clubs provided activities for students which served them and their community. r Table of Contents Club Page Key Club 75 Pep Club 76 — 77 Science Club 78 BSU 79 Art Club 80 Forensics 81 Backgammon Club 82 — 83 Dungeons and Dragons 82 — 83 Chess Club 82 — 83 Pinnacle 84 — 85 Prowler 84 — 85 Inklings 84 — 85 DECA 86 — 87 SCA 88 — 89 NHS 88 — 89 ICF 90 — 91 FCA 90 — 91 AIASA 92 — 93 FFA 92 — 93 FBLA 94 — 95 HOSA 94 — 95 VICA 96 — 97 HERO 98 — 99 FHA 98 — 99 Band 100 - - 101 Choir 102 - - 103 Drama 104 - - 105 Lights, ladder, action — One way to get to the top is to climb a ladder.

The Key To Service Keys kept prisoners in jail, were locked in cars, and were used to unlock doors. Key was also the name of a ser¬ vice-oriented club. First year sponsor Fran Shelton direct- ! ed the Key Club in a variety of school and community service projects. The club was led by the president, Tracie Ondich; vice-president, Tom Wallace; secretary, Karen Coltrane; treasurer, Cheryl Cecil; and chaplain, Lanette Fierce. These offi¬ cers, along with the other club members, participated in various activities. The club was very service-oriented, and they provided their services for both school and community. The club paid visits to the Fairview Home for the elder¬ ly, assisted the Jaycees with a Halloween haunted house, and helped the Salvation Army man its kettles during the Christ¬ mas season. Raising and lowering the flag was just one of the club’s services to the school. Although they were seldom recog¬ nized, club members enjoyed their ser¬ vice to school community. Karen Col¬ trane said, “I enjoy being in the Key Club because I’m working to help make a bet¬ ter community.” Tom Wallace added, “I have enjoyed serving in the Key because I feel we have really improved the school and community with the various services we have performed.” Stars and Stripes forever —Key Club members Tra¬ cie Ondich and Wendy Urquhart raise the flag.

Key Club 75 Banners And Buttons If one didn’t make the football or gym¬ nastics team, what was the best way to help the sports program? Mike Flinchum answered this when he said, “Since I am not able to participate in sports, the Pep Club is my way of participating in them.” The primary function of the Pep Club was to support the athletic activities of the school. Banners, posters, and locker stickers were made to support each team and individual. They were hung in halls, lockerbanks, and the gym to promote spirit and “Cougar Pride.” The best way to promote spirit was to attend the games and support the team. Wendy Estes ad¬ vocated this when she said, “The Pep Club means taking an active part in showing the teams at the games that we are behind them.” “Buy your program here! Sir, would you like a football program? Buy a pro¬ gram.” These soliciting shouts were heard from the mouths of Pep Club mem¬ bers when they sold programs at the foot¬ ball games. The program was a major project of the club. Ads must be sold, pic¬ tures must be taken, and team rosters must be gathered in order to produce a top-notch program. The Pep Club also supported the school by buying flowers for cheerleaders, pro¬ viding refreshments for teachers on work¬ days, and recognizing coaches. Pam Munsey said it best, “Involvement in school activities is what the Pep Club is all about. It is a good way to express your sportsmanship.” Sportsmanship abound¬ ed in one of the school’s largest clubs. Upcoming events take a lot of planning — Carol Ab¬ bott, Mrs. Benson, and Regina Brumfield discover this in working on the football program for the up¬ coming season. Familiar face — Many students saw this mean, furi¬ ous character at most school events. The Cougar mascot is the spirit raiser at school events, and a Pep Club activity.

Well, the opportunity to learn and to do these and other things was of¬ fered by the Science Club and the Black Student Union. Mr. Micky Hickman, sponsor of the Black Student Union said, “This club is important because it promotes Black History Month. It gives blacks a chance to work together as a group.” The club worked together and presented the play Lift Every Voice and Sing; An Evening of Black Culture during the later part of March. The play was written and direct¬ ed by senior Derrick Von Lewis, and oth¬ er students in the club played the parts. Science Club sponsor Mr. John Joseph said, “The Science Club gives some of the kids an outside opportunity to develop their scientific skills. Some people are interested in certain fields, and the only time they really get to talk about it is during Science Club or from a project of their own design.” This club, and the physics. Chemistry II, and calculus classes saw an audiovisual show on space colonization, presented by Dr. Richard Arndet, a physics professor from Virginia Tech. The club also hosted the traveling physics show from Virginia Tech. In the spring, members and other students entered their projects in the sci¬ ence fair. These projects were developed, designed, tested, performed, and results concluded by the members and students. Even though many things were accom¬ plished during the year in both clubs, Mr. John Joseph commented, “An hour is a short time for a club meeting with every¬ thing you want to get done.” Birds of a ruler — The Science Club has its own mascot — Rick-the-Stick-Chicken.

Be cre¬ ative — be in the Art and Forensics Clubs. The Art Club and Forensics Club shared a purpose: creative expression on the part of the student body. For the partici¬ pants in the Forensics Club, the creative expression came through various areas of forensic competition. For the students in the Art Club, the creative expression came about through every art form imag¬ inable. Both clubs began their activities early in the year. The Art Club had a Novem¬ ber field trip to the Roanoke Arts and Crafts Show. Club sponsor Mr. Charles Goolsby said “The students enjoyed it very much, as they communicated with many craftsmen and were made aware of what can be done.” The club held a sale of student art just in time for Christmas gift giving. Students who chose to compete in For¬ ensics gave their expression orally. The sponsor. Miss Vada Boyd, gave advice to hopeful students. School competition was held in December and the winners advanced to district competition in Feb¬ ruary. Of Forensics, Ellen Guthrie said, “This is where my talents lie — in speak¬ ing. By joining Forensics, I could have the opportunity to increase my know¬ ledge and skill in an area I enjoy. Speak¬ ing to an audience has been something I’ve loved to do for years.” Sophomore Meg Stanley added, “Competition teach¬ es you to perform under pressure.” Sharing club spirit — Art Club members exhibit their contribution to the float competition.

No, this was not a kindergarten class, it was only how the Dungeons and Dragons, Backgammon and Chess Clubs met on club day. If one saw someone walking around with a briefcase, he was not going to a business meeting. He was probably a member of the Backgammon Club. This club, which consisted of about sixty members, had the purpose of teaching students how to play backgammon and other similar board games. Several inter¬ ests of the club were to have intraclub and open school tournaments. The club also entered various tournaments in the Pulaski County area. Each member of the Dungeons and Aha! I’ve got you now! — The determined look on Renee Crist’s face says that she has the winning move during a chess game on club day. Dragons Club played a different role. The players could assume a different identity and mentally travel through worlds of adventure. This was a new and exciting experience for all members. For especial¬ ly enthusiastic members, one could trav¬ el to a Dungeons and Dragons gaming convention, meeting players from all over the country, as Mike Glasgow did last summer. When asked what he re¬ membered the most, Mike replied, “I met designers from Avalon Hill, and talked to them about some of my favorite games which they had designed.” The Chess Team was composed of seri¬ ous, chess-minded people. The team practiced after school several days a week to better their abilities. Chess Team member Chuck Daugherty said, “To be a good chess player, you have to enjoy the game.” They worked on numerous fund¬ raising projects, such as selling picture frames and sponsoring sock-hops. The money went to helping the team travel to chess meets in Philadelphia and Atlanta. The team was also honored to hold the state tournament at PCHS. And perchance, if one did not have the chance to join the Chess Team,there was always the Chess Club. It consisted of about twenty-five members who worked to improve each other’s skill. The special interest of the club was to play their own year-round “non-rated” club tourna¬ ment. The Chess Club also had the im¬ portant job of supporting the more seri¬ ous players of the Chess Team. As one can see, it took much more than a kindergarten education to play win¬ ning backgammon and be a member of the Chess Team. These students contin¬ ued their education as they began to “step out” into more intellectual and imaginative games. Best two out of three? — Gary Lark and his oppo¬ nent Matthew Price battle it out on the backgam¬ mon board. Chess Club, Chess Team, Backgammon, Dungeons and Dragons 83 Journalism II (Front row) A.

Producing A The date — June 14 — 17 The People — six students from the Pin¬ nacle staff The destination — Longwood College, Farmville The purpose — The six students went to Longwood College to attend Max Ward — Delmar’s yearbook workshop. They went to learn how to write perfect copy, design perfect layouts, take perfect pic-, tures, and to produce a perfect “10” year¬ book. Near perfection was achieved with the previous year’s book, at least in the opinion of the V.H.S.L. judges who awarded a “trophy,” the highest possible award for a Virginia yearbook, to the 1981 Cougar Pinnacle. After hours of hard work the staff left Longwood with lots of fresh ideas for a “10” yearbook. The quest for publications perfection was shared by the staffs of the literary Taking five — Don na Akers, Autti Hyde, Leslie Him- melman, Jill Barr, Paige Game, and Sherry Hedge eat goodies from Burger King between classes at the UVA publications trip in Charlottesville. Home sweet home — Mrs. Bradsher, Greg Bolden, Jeff Jones, and Donna Akers exchange comments after returning from their publications trip to Char¬ lottesville. Perfect “10” magazine. Inklings, and the newspaper, the Cougar Prowler. The three staffs gath¬ ered on a bitterly cold November Satur¬ day morning and packed twelve people in a van designed to hold ten. After a cozy ride to Charlottesville, the crew un¬ loaded to begin workshop sessions at the V.H.S.L. Publications Workshop. Prowler staff member Sherry Hedge said, “We learned lots of things to make the news¬ paper different. It was fun!” Pinnacle per¬ son Paige Game added, “It was lots of fun, and was also a learning experience.” Publications workers often found the going rough, especially when deadlines drew near, and there simply seemed to be no way to do it all. Pinnacle staffer Wendy Urquhart summed it up with the com¬ ment, “You face a lot of opposition in your work, but the end result is so aston¬ ishing that it all seems worthwhile.” Pinnacle, Prowler, Inklings 85 DECA (12th grade): (Front row) Miss Lawson, J.

Preparing For Work What was the importance of Distribu¬ tive Education Clubs of America? Lisa Waters answered this by saying, “The reason that I ' m in DECA is because it gives you the responsibility of having a job and managing your money wisely. DECA shows you the do’s and don’ts in the working world.” DECA was a co-curricular club for the Marketing and Distributive Education program. First year DE students received in-class preparation for the world of work. Second and third year students, along with Fashion Merchandising stu¬ dents were required to be employed on a job which related to their career ob¬ jectives. Of this preparation, Kim Gra¬ ham commented, “I joined DECA be¬ cause I felt it would be an experience to learn job training for my future. Thanks to Mr. Gary McCoy, sponsor of DECA, I am learning how to cope for the day I will be on my own.” DECA members went to the new Heck’s Department Store in Christians- burg to obtain an understanding of what goes into opening a new business. They also attended the Fall Rally at Virginia Tech. This rally presented films and lec¬ tures on marketing and merchandising. The officers of the club also attended training conference in Hedgesville, West Virginia. Vice-president Gale Stout com¬ mented, “I joined DECA to learn the re¬ sponsibilities of having a job.” The club’s pet project was the “Toys for Tots” drive held each Christmas. The members donated toys and money to be given to children in the county who oth¬ erwise would not have had a Christmas. This true spirit of Christmas prompted Lisa Walters to say, “It is great to watch the sparkle in little children’s eyes when they find out that they are going to have a Christmas this year. When they get back to school they can also tell the other children what Santa Claus brought them.” DECA 87 NHS (12th) (Front row) D. Vest, M. Creger, A. Stan¬ ley, D. Glasgow, M. Powell, W. Estes, M.

This is just one of the obligations of the SCA. Keeping the class’ attention — Mr. Quesenberry, SCA sponsor, dresses appropriately for punk rock day during Thursday of homecoming week. Service With A Smile Did you notice at the homecoming the one thousand balloons with “Celebrate Homecoming ’81” printed upside down on them? Did you wonder who or what organization was responsible for that? The Student Council Association—spon¬ sor of the homecoming activities, Winter Formal, the Christmas canned goods drive, and the governing body of the school—used those colorful balloons to brighten the night of the game. The SCA was a service organization, as was the National Honor Society. The NHS spent much time serving—food, that is. They had a pot-luck banquet in Octo¬ ber, held a reception for the graduates after the homecoming game and another one for the teachers during conferences, worked at concessions during basketball games, and sponsored a tea in the spring. They also provided a tutoring service for the students, collected money for clothes for the needy at Christmas, and gave honor students a chance to be recog¬ nized. So if you needed help with your studies or had a decorating idea for winter for¬ mal, you could have talked with the SCA or NHS. They provided service with a smile. NHS, SCA 89 Sharing A Faith “This club allowed athletes to witness their faith in an area where they could have a great influence on other persons,” Mr. Mike Rolen said about the club he sponsored, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Christian fellowship was the joint purpose of this club and the Interde¬ nominational Christian Fellowship Club. Every FCA meeting revolved around a guest speaker who brought a Christian message to the group. In October, the group heard from graduate Jimmy Pat¬ terson, who advised the group on how to live a Christian life away from home. In November, the club heard from evangel¬ ist Perry Stone, the leader of a local re¬ vival attended by 150 students. The FCA did not limit its activities to its monthly meeting, as they held a Bible study on Tuesday nights. The club had several projects, includ¬ ing helping to collect for the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle, organizing a food drive for the needy, and raising money for Special Olympics. Over the summer, the club also sent two of its members to FCA camp. Club sponsor, Mr. Dale Conrad said, “One of the best things our club has done was to send Autti Hyde and Susan Saunders to FCA camp.” The ICF drew its members from Chris¬ tian students who were not athletes. One of the club s most visible school activities came as club members took turns doing the “Thought for the day” on the morn¬ ing announcements. In summarizing the feelings of many club members and him¬ self, sponsor Mr. Phillip Vickers said, “I enjoy sponsoring the ICF because it gives me the opportunity to relate the most important thing in my life to some¬ body else” Table talk — Mr. Phillip Vickers, sponsor of the ICF Michelle Venable, and Becky Puckett discuss future I plans for the club.

Over the hills the FFA went, selling fruit from door to door. The AIASA made toys, making spirits bright. Oh, what fun it was to give to children everywhere. As Christmas bells in churches rang, the FFA rang door bells and made phone calls to sell fruit. The club worked throughout the entire year on other ac¬ tivities. Jennifer Hawks, David Boyd and Tommy Kelly attended the state leader¬ ship conference last July. Jennifer Hawks said, “The FFA has helped to make me a more outgoing person and taught me how to work with people.” The following month Billy Tolbert attended the national leadership conference in Washington, D.C. He commented, “FFA has allowed me to extend my leadership skills and enabled me to learn about op¬ portunities in agriculture.” When school started and fall arrived, the FFA was still busy. They participated in the New River Valley Fair crops judg¬ ing, the federation leadership confer¬ ence, and the tractor driving contest. The AIASA, a club of industrial arts students, also worked year-round for the club and community. In the fall, they en¬ tered the homecoming float competition and won second place. During Christmas they made wooden toys for needy chil¬ dren. They also sponsored various indus¬ trial arts contests, such as screen print¬ ing, throughout the year. As AIASA sponsor, Mr. Bob Piscura, said, “The main goal of the club is to provide extra activities for industrial arts students, through instruction, lead¬ ership, and community projects.” The goal of the club became a reality.

Do you want to be famous, prominent, and known throughout the country as a successful business person? Well, take those dreams from your head and use them as energy for your feet. Climb the ladder of success. One of the best ways to start climbing this ladder is to learn about business and to take an active part in it. The Future Business Leaders of America offered this opportunity. Philip Crigger agreed when he said, “The FBLA gives you a chance to put the business skills you learn in class to good use. The club can help you learn about the real business world and what it is all about.” FBLA led a concurrent group session the Ladder Of Success on March of Dimes. April McPeak, FBLA Poster Child for Pulaski County, was the focus of their plans. Another outside community activity that the club partici¬ pated in was the Southern Region Lead¬ ership Conference in Baton Rouge, Lou¬ isiana. Such activities led Donna Akers to say, “For one thing, the club gets into a lot of stuff in the community. I think it is good that we work for the people outside the school.” What if you were not interested in busi¬ ness, but still wanted to climb to the top of the ladder of success? Medical careers were successful careers in today’s world. Health Occupation Students of Amer¬ ica introduced the opportunity of health careers to the students. This club, mainly composed of the nursing class, learned about the career fields in health from pre¬ sentations given concerning this subject. The nursing class sponsored a Communi¬ ty Health Week. During the week the stu¬ dents heard from prominent people on various fields of medicine. The nursing class also sponsored a blood pressure clinic in the Commons Area. During lunch students could have their blood pressure taken for $1.00 The money which was collected was used to help a needy family during Christmas. Summing up the importance of HOSA, Susan Reynolds said, “I plan on becom¬ ing a nurse, and the club is involved with health occupations. Also, the club is working to help educate the community about the importance of proper health care. One more time — The president of FBLA, Amy Har¬ rell, has the honor of putting up another FBLA award. The club also received an award for pledg¬ ing the most money to the March of Dimes.

Garwin Service VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of merica) was one the school’s largest lubs and certainly one of its most active. The club drew its membership from many ocational classes, from cosmetology to rinting. VICA directed its activity to- ard two major areas — competition nd service. In the area of competition, lie club participated in a fall workshop or leadership training at VPI and SU in eptember. In November, club members journeyed to Montgomery County and ested some of their skills in a rally at hristiansburg High School. After taking part in leadership train¬ ing, club members put their skills into iractice by participating in three leader- hip training contests. In March, there Through Leadership was the Skill and Leadership Contest at Giles County High School, in April there was the State Leadership and Skill Con¬ test in Lynchburg, and in June there was the United States Skill Olympics and Leadership Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. In these conferences VICA members had the opportunity to display both manual and verbal skills. Members competed in the areas of public speaking, oral presentations, and parliamentary procedure. VICA member Michael King said, “Competition is my favorite activ¬ ity. It allows me to compete and rate my¬ self according to other students’ abilities and talents.” In the service area, VICA gave a lot of itself to the school and the community. In November, divisions within the club held an annual volleyball tournament in an effort to raise money for the United Way Fund. In December, the club held one of its most important activities, a Christ¬ mas party for the benefit of underprivi¬ leged children. Wade Hutchens said, “It’s nice to see those kid’s eyes light up when they see the Christmas presents they are receiving that they would otherwise not receive.” It was a busy club, a “doing” club that drew its membership from students who were seriously pursuing a career. Richie Gillman explained it all as he said, “Mr. Davis spoke so highly of VICA that I had to join and see if he was right. He was!” VICA 97 FHA (Front row) S. Jones, J. Stuart, R. Wright, R.

Well, the roles of society were reversed when a club of teenagers, the Home Economics Related Occupations club, “adopted” a grand¬ mother and gave her a fruit basket. The HERO club was a co-curricular club for child care and food services classes Besides adopting a grandmother each year, they provided a mitten and hat tree for needy children at Christmas and baked cookies and delivered them to nursing homes on Valentine ' s Day. They also participated in the district HERO competition in areas of food services, served the faculty pie and coffee during National Education Week, and decorat¬ ed a bulletin board in the Vocational Building with information about careers in vocational education. Club member Lori Guthrie said, “HERO gave me the opportunity to meet new people and learn things that I had never learned be¬ fore.” The Future Homemakers of America were similar to HERO in that they both promoted home economics. On each club day, the FHA participated in a planned program with guest speakers. Topics which were discussed covered make-up, cake decorating, fashion shows, making Christmas gifts and crafts, and careers in home economics. To spread cheer and good tidings, the FHA visited the Fairview Home every Christmas and decorated Christmas cookies for the residents. Another annual event that the club participated in was the leadership conference in Richmond. Did the FHA have all work and no play? No way, Jose! In the fall they had a pizza party at the Pizza Hut in Pulaski. Susan Mitchell said, “It was great to get together with the other club members and just have a really fun time!” Also in the spring, the club put wheels on their heels and had a party at the Dominion Skating Rink in Christiansburg. About the club, FHA member Tammy Boyers said, “FHA is an active club, in which you learn a great deal of things about everyday life. It gives one an op¬ portunity to further himself in becoming a better person, as well as helping other people to cope with problems the best way possible. Is it real? — Sharon McCoy holds up Kelly Peterson so that she can examine the mitten tree in the Child Care Center. The mitten tree provided gifts for needy children. HERO. FHA 99 Concert Band.

It was agony to hear the call from Mr. William Fropst, “Let’s run it again!” In spite of aching muscles and sore limbs, the Golden Cou¬ gar Marching Band made it through the sweat and pain that was band camp. After the summer agony came the thought of afterschool practices, and all the pain that they would bring. But it was all part of helping the band perfect a win¬ ning style. The months of practice paid off as the band won first place in auxiliaries and a superior rating in the George Wythe Band Festival in Wytheville. The band performed its trademark songs, “Picture at an Exhibition”, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” and “Birdland”. At the state fair competition in Richmond they placed fifth in a field of twenty bands. But, at the William Byrd Band Festival in Vinton, they really came alive. They placed sec¬ ond in drum major, first in auxiliaries, first in rifles and flags, and received an overall superior rating. The band ran the gamut from the agony of band camp to the excitement of winning in competi¬ tion. As band member Pat Hurd said, “The work was hard, but in the end it was all worth it. The thrill of winning in com¬ petition made up for the long hours of practice.” Lungs Bursting — Glen Abbott gives full concentra¬ tion to his music during a half-time show.

Each of these choirs prac¬ ticed diligently during their respective class period. Many students who attended concerts S in Roanoke paid $8.00 to $15.00 to hear their favorite groups. Students also at¬ tended Christmas and spring concerts given by all four choirs—-for cheaper rates, though. Anita Davis said she liked choir and concerts because, “1 enjoy be¬ ing with a group of people singing.” Just as advancing to regional play-offs was important to any sports team, trying out for regionals was an important step for any choir member. Of the students who tried out for regionals, thirty-one were honored by being chosen members. Choir members who made regionals competed for all-Virginia during the weekend of the regional concert. Concert choir, the only audition-se¬ lected choir, also tried out for senior hon¬ ors choir, and in the spring they traveled further down from the Mason-Dixon line to Atlanta to compete in a choral compe¬ tition. Wendy Estes, concert choir member and senior high regionals participant, explained that she enjoyed singing be¬ cause, “It gives me a feeling of accom¬ plishment and pride.” Many other choir members were proud to be musicians, performers, auditioners, and competi¬ tors. And they were not just door-to-door subscription salesmen. All together now —Concert choir members, under the direction of Mr. Quesenberry, practice for the regional concert.

These and other props were borrowed and bought for the play The Odd Couple which was produced by the Drama Club and its sponsor, Ms. Nancy Ballinger. After years of absence, the Drama Club was reborn in September when 72 students joined it. Plans were immediate¬ ly made for the club’s fall production, The Odd Couple, which was presented in the Little Theatre on December 5. The club organized itself around the play’s pro¬ duction. Hour after hour of exhausting work was required of the club’s members as they begged and borrowed to obtain props, and decorated flats, typed pro¬ grams, and generated publicity for their production. Club meetings were dedicated to per¬ fecting productions and to learning the basic elements of good drama. Plans were made to have professional actors, costume and makeup specialists lecture | at some of the meetings. Club member Kelley Hopkins said, “Having a Drama Club has finally given many students the chance to show their true acting abilities and to really get in¬ volved in the arts!” Ms. Ballinger added, “The Drama Club provided another out¬ let for the boundless energy students seemed to have. It also provided a way for students to show their creativity and get involved in the arts.” “Let me go!” — Felix Ungar, portrayed by Ritchie Gillman, struggles to free himself from his poker buddies during the performance of The Odd Couple. 104 Clubs and Organizations Drama (9th and 10th) (Front row) B.

ORTS SPORTS SPORTS Sports involved more than Mr. Joe Cool running the win¬ ning touchdown at the home¬ coming game or hitting the winning homerun in Calfee Park. It involved the manag¬ ers giving water or carrying equipment. It involved the coaches giving locker room talks. It involved cheer¬ leaders rousing excitement in the crowds. It involved the fans cheering the team to vic¬ tory after an exciting, gruel¬ ing game. It involved every¬ body stepping out to take a slice of the action.

They were watching the varsity baseball teams of PC and Northside in the RVD championship tour¬ nament. It was the top of the 4th inning, and there was one Viking on base. Finally, coach Wallace Flinchum reached a strategic decioion. He would use his unique “seven-man” infield. He had successfully used it three times in four years. He shifted Billy “Red Bird” Myers from right field to ten feet inside the baseline. The other players adjusted them¬ selves accordingly. The second batter was struck out by pitcher Chris Kinzer. The night before, on a swollen ankle, Kinzer had pitched a winning game of 5- 1 over William Fleming. The next batter stepped up. His grounder to Dean “Termite” O’Dell proved the worth of Flinchum’s decision. With O’Dell’s new positioning, he was able to scoop up the ball and zoom it in to catcher Tim Campbell. Campbell in turn tagged the homeward bound runner out. The third out came when second baseman Scott “Whitie” Ward caught a pop up. This began the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, se¬ nior Tripp Dunman stepped up to bat. Although he gained only one base on his infield roll, he moved to second with a steal. Next, power hitter Terry Edwards came through as he had done the night be¬ fore with a big double. His left center field pop went all the way to the wall and brought Dunman in. Edwards himself came home on a single by Tim Campbell. The two runs scored proved to be vital for the win. When the game con¬ cluded, 2-0, bedlam broke loose as 250 fans stormed the field to congratulate a tearful but happy team. The tears shed there were not the only ones spilled. Throughout the season the team ran the complete emo¬ tional gamut. Two of the prime contribu¬ tors to the team’s emotional well-being were Tripp Dun¬ man and Wally Flinchum. Coach Flinchum said, “Trip¬ per and Wally kept the team pumped up.” The two also played a part in the most emotional game of the season, Pulaski Coun¬ ty against Northside. The im¬ portance of the game was summed up by Coach Flin¬ chum who said “One mistake could have cost us the game.” The men in charge of this “emotional” group of young men also made their contri¬ butions. Coach Wally Flin¬ chum was the man in charge. His assistant was Coach Ro¬ len, of whom Flinchum said, “He kept the team always ready to play.” Home is where the Cougar is — Tim Campbell waits for the ball as i Salem runner slides into home plate Pondering the future — Gene statistics of a home game played at Lindstrom concentrates over the Calfee Park.

Infield From tears of losses and wins, to serious smiles at pre-game prayers, to laugh¬ ing over some friendly prank, the team shared their inner hopes and fears. The individ¬ ual strengths and weak¬ nesses were forgotten in the unity that came about. This same unity helped the varsity baseball team post a 14-4 season record. While they had won the RVD cham¬ pionship, only two of their members made the RVD team. Sophomore Chris Kinzer’s 10-1 record tied him for the pitching position. Tripp Dunman, a senior and the team’s all-around leader, was named first baseman. Not only were the players honored in the RVD, but coach Wallace Flinchum was named RVD Coach of the Year.

Still, the junior varsi¬ ty baseball team kept their heads above water and fin¬ ished off with a 5-3 winning season. However, first base- man Rich Ward said, “We really didn’t have much trou¬ ble defeating our oppo¬ nents.” Every team needed good leadership, and this was found in Rich Ward and sec¬ ond baseman Steve Tickle. Steve batted for a .500 aver¬ age and Rich for a .455 aver¬ age. This year was also a good one for freshman play¬ ers on the J.V. team. The leading hitter was Mike Lin- kous, a freshman, who bat¬ ted for an average of .529. Also leading the team were two freshman pitchers, Ron¬ nie Steele and Jon Fleenor.

The girls lined up, their hearts beating faster as the race was about to start. “Set,” shouted the official as the crowd hushed, and all was silent. BANG — the gun was fired and the race had begun. Each girl started run¬ ning with the hopes of break¬ ing the string first, and the crowd rose to its feet and cheered. This was the way most races started in a track meet of any year. However, the way the race and field events ended was what made this year different. The team set eight new school records, which was the highest number of new records set in any one year. The team sent four competi¬ tors to the state meet, the largest number ever to go. At the invitational Roanoke Re¬ lays meet, the team sprinted home with the runner-up tro¬ phy. This was the highest placing the team ever re¬ ceived at the Roanoke Re¬ lays. When the team went to district, they placed third. This year differed from all other years because, for the first time, there was a girls’ freshman track team. The coach of both teams, Mrs. Louisa Chrisley, said, ‘‘The freshman turnout was large and enthusiastic. The experi¬ ence they got there should really help their development as varsity competitors and retain their enthusiasm.” Karen Goad said that run¬ ning ‘‘gives me a feeling of accomplishment.” Karen and the rest of the team made many accomplishments this year. The most team mem¬ bers who competed in state competition, the highest placing for the team at the Roanoke Relays, and the third place finish at district were the rewards that await¬ ed the girls at the end of the finish line.

Pro¬ spective golfers might want to know that a par is the per¬ fect amount of strokes. Bird¬ ies do not fly, but are one stroke below par. Irons are clubs given numbers accord¬ ing to length. A green is the 18-hole course upon which one plays. The 1981 golf team be¬ came adept at using these words. Their vocabulary in¬ creased along with their per¬ formance skills. They gained much valuable experience which was vital for the future success of the team. The majority of the team was composed of sopho¬ mores Gary Lark, Scott Self, David Bentley, and Jay Sadler. The upperclassmen were senior Ritchie Moore, and junior Rick Patton. In competition, Cave Spring and Salem were re¬ ported to have been the toughest teams because of their large turnout every spring. For the Cougar golfers, Richie Moore, Rick Patton, and Gary Lark proved to be the most con¬ sistent, with Lark being the low scorer and medalist. Except for Ritchie Moore, all the members should be re¬ turning. With good attitudes and the experience they’ve gained, they should prove to be a competitive team. In the meantime, they will keep swinging on the green, look¬ ing for the “parfect stroke.’’ Low Blow — Gary Lark’s steady eyes and hands make him the team’s low scorer and medalist.

Swinging Season What would one call the school’s most successful team and their season? Im¬ pressive” is the word to de¬ scribe the boys’ tennis team’s great record, fine players, and superb sports¬ manship. They captured the Southwest Easter Tennis Tournament by defeating five other teams. David Yama, Butch Watson, and Mark Aust were tournament champs while Jerry Danner, R.A. O’Dell and Rob Neigh¬ bors placed second. The netmen received sec¬ ond place in the Roanoke Valley District tournament and first in the regular sea¬ son. O’Dell was undefeated in RVD action, and Danner posted an impressive 17-2 overall record. Yama and Watson teamed up in dou¬ bles to receive second place in RVD. Yama took third in singles and ended the sea¬ son with a 14-5 record. Senior David Yama led the boys’ tennis team and estab¬ lished a new school record for victories, as he totaled 46 wins in his four varsity sea¬ sons. Yama was named first team all RVD. Second team included Danner and O’Dell with Watson taking honor¬ able mention. Many comments, both positive and negative, have been made about the net- men; but what they thought themselves was what was important. As rising captain Mark Aust said, We had a good year, but rebuilding will be tough. Freeman says that we’ll surprise a lot of people though.” Coach John Free¬ man was the man responsi¬ ble for this impressive team and their accomplishments. In his seven years at RC.H.S. his win-loss record climbed to 88-37. With this in mind, his fellow coaches made him step out from the crowd by naming him RVD coach of the year.

Football Fever Football — what was it really like? It was Coach Joel Hick’s pep rally “pep” talks. As he approached the microphone, a silencing hush fell over the gym. The previously boister¬ ous student body now had ears and eyes glued to “the man with the plan.” They awaited with awe to hear the words that prophesied that night’s game. It was the time the cheer¬ leaders passed out “Purple Slush” to the football players during a pep rally. It symbol¬ ized the team’s desire to turn Patrick Henry’s ‘‘Purple Crush” defense into “purple slush.” It was their special, spe¬ cialty plays. It was the middle huddle trick play that allowed Billy Myers to run forty-five yards on the fourth down to score a touchdown against Princeton. It was the captain nick¬ named “Hard Rock.” Foot¬ ball captain Sherill Holston proved to be a true leader by being the first captain to re¬ tain that position throughout the season. It was the locker room talk. Like a sweet ’n sour Charms sucker, this talk had two sides — the sweet taste of victory and the sour taste of defeat. The sweet taste made its strongest sensation after the victory over Patrick Henry. The old saying “big boys don’t cry” became a myth as tears of joy streamed from the players’ eyes as they congratulated each other in the locker room after the game. The sour taste of defeat after an away game caused silence. It was the practices. The first of these, called “cap¬ tains’ practice,” started the first of August and were held in the evenings. After five days of captains’ practice, the team started twice-a-day practice sessions. Arriving at the school at 9:00, the team cont. JV and Varsity Football (Front row) T. Finley, S. Ward, C.

Showers were taken, bag lunches were eaten, and siestas were held, interrupted only by Coach Randy Flinchum yell¬ ing, “Run out in fifteen min¬ utes. Be ready.” Then, two more hours of practice. It was the first victory over Cave Spring. It was tailback Ron Kimbrough’s intercep¬ tion at the 21 yard line that allowed Chris Kinzer to kick a thirty-one yard field goal in the last five minutes of the game. The team won, 16-13. It was the upset over Pat¬ rick Henry. One week earlier, after the Salem victory, the team shouted “Bring on Pat¬ rick Henry!” And Patrick Henry came. When the team Get out of my way! — Cougar quarterback Terry Finley throws a pass as Wayne Viers blocks a Heri¬ tage defender trying to intercept it. went into the locker room at halftime, they were down, 14- 0. But, they wanted that game badly. So badly in fact, that they rallied for two touchdowns and were tied with Patrick Henry. With only eight seconds left to play, Chris Kinzer had a field goal. The ball went through the goal post. The team won 17- 14. Now the team was a co¬ champion in the RVD, even though they were ranked fifth in the pre-season RVD rat¬ ings. It was a winning attitude. Coach Hicks said before the Patrick Henry game, “The kids think we can win. The coaches think we can win. I think we can win. Yea, we’ll win.” That was what football was really like.

Un- ler coach John Westberg nd coach Tim Cordle they ecured the best record for a .V. team ever, 3-3-1. The team was led by soph- more Ricky Finley, who was uoted as saying, “I thought re had a good season over- II and we lost the games we hould have won. But, we did nd up with the best J.V. re- ord ever and that’s what counts.” Also, Greg Gooch said, ‘‘We had a great time and it was a good learning experience for all of us. We had a great coaching staff, and they coached us on to a 3-3-1 record.” Mike Linkous commented, ‘‘I thought we had a pretty good season, but our record didn’t reflect it. We had a good coaching staff with people like Coach John Westberg and Coach Tim Cordle.” The freshman team was coached by Dickie McMillian, and assisted by Coach Rod Reedy. Freshman Kenny Hampton said, ‘‘I thought we had played well for the injur¬ ies we had, and we had a good season. Coach McMil¬ lian and Coach Reedy really brought us together into a solid football team.” The total Cougar football program was constantly and steadily improving every year. The J.V. and the ninth grade teams were strong rungs on the ladder of suc¬ cess for the future. J.V. and 9th Grade Football 127 “Strong Down The Line” “Each year we set goals for our season, and each year we have reached them. This year it was to have a winning season, and we came through again.” Those words of Mr. John Freeman, voted coach of the year by his fellow coaches in the RVD, expressed his feelings about the girls’ tennis team. What were the ingredients of this team which made this year the first one with a win¬ ning record under coach John Freeman? The starting line-up was one of the ingredients that made this year a successful one. Autti Hyde, Pam Martin, Leslie Himmelman, Karri Powers, Catherine Jackson, and Susie Brillheart started in singles competition. Hyde- Martin, Himmelman-Thomp- son, and Crawford-Brillheart were the starters in the dou¬ bles competition. Winning records for indi¬ viduals also helped to make a winning season. Karri Pow¬ ers boasted the best record, 8-3. Autti Hyde, the number one player, also had a win¬ ning record of 6-4. The winning records for the individuals, and the win¬ ning team record allowed the tennis team to participate in the district competition. This was the first year that the girls’ tennis team had gone to district competition. The team captured third place at this competition. Autti Hyde placed second in singles while Hyde and Martin ob¬ tained a third place in dou¬ bles. Of her coach, senior cap¬ tain Autti Hyde said, “Coach Freeman has worked us hard and made us mentally tough. He’s a great coach and a friend to each of us. We all appreciate his whole-hearted efforts in making our team a proud one.” Determination and concentra tion — Sophomore Karri Powers anxiously awaits the return of her volley.

Girls’ Tennis 129 UOCDAS- OOO Starting Over With only one starter re¬ turning from last year, the girls’ volleyball team found out that this year was going to be just like starting over. Just as when an architect plans his building, Coach Maggie Manning planned her team. The foundation was laid with Diane Glasgow. Glasgow, a senior, was named as one of the two cap¬ tains. The other captain was junior Joyce Bratton. Glas¬ gow’s leadership foundation proved solid when she was named Most Valuable Player by her teammates. As for the rest of the team, the structure was willing, but weak. Inexperience was the main downfall. During the course of the season there were no match victories al¬ though the Lady Cougars won two games against Northside and Patrick Henry. When asked how she felt the season went, Diane Glas¬ gow replied, “All in all, it was a good season. We didn’t win a lot, but we learned a lot, and we had a great time.” So, as with a building, once the foundations of experience were laid, there was no place to go but up.

The cross country team had much to sing about when they placed third in the Roa¬ noke Valley District. At the district meet Donnie Tickle placed first, receiving the cross country championship. He ran the 3.1 mile course in a time of 17.36 at Cave Spring High School. At the Virginia High School meet in Bristol, Donnie placed second and the J.V. team placed first. J.V. run¬ ners Tee Tolbert and Steve Richards placed third and fourth, respectively. On the ninth grade team John Ep- perly placed third while David Quesenberry placed ninth. History repeated itself when the team competed in the VPI Invitational Meet. Tickle again placed second, and the J.V. team again re¬ ceived first place. Tee Tol¬ bert finished second, Steve Richards finished sixth, and Ron Marshall finished eighth for the J.V. team. The team then traveled to U.Va. to compete in the state AAA meet. Donnie Tickle placed tenth in a field of more than 685 runners. The J.V. team placed third in this meet. Tee Tolbert received eighth place while Steve Richards placed fourteenth. Phillip Dillon said, “The team atmosphere is really re¬ laxed. We are like a bunch of brothers.

Everybody knew that there were two, fifteen minute halves with a break in between each half in which fans get cokes from the con¬ cession stand and teams got a few minutes rest in the locker rooms. Everybody knew that it was a freshman, Mike Porter, who scored the highest total points — 284 — and held the highest game point average — 14.2. Every¬ body knew something about basketball because it was a popular sport, but what does everybody not know about the basketball team? Everybody knew that the team practiced, but not ev¬ erybody knew the grueling extent of these practices. While students and teachers enjoyed two weeks of lazy free time during Christmas vacation, the basketball team did not. They practiced every day during Christmas break except three: Christ¬ mas Eve and day, and New Year’s Day. The last two weeks of the season were the hardest because the team had a game every other day, and they practiced every day they did not play, includ¬ ing sacred weekends. The games during this time in¬ cluded elongated road trips 134 Sports 1, 2, 3 ... — Cedrick Cruise dem¬ onstrates the art of concentration as he prepares to shoot his foul shot.

Everybody knew that dur¬ ing halftime the team went to the locker room for a short break, but not everybody knew the locker room atti¬ tude. During the early part of the season, when the team was 6-1, the team was easy going and talkative in the locker room and the attitude was relaxed. However, the attitude changed when the win-loss record compiled more losses than wins. The once talkative team was qui¬ et and depressed, and ten¬ sion soared among mem¬ bers. As senior Sammy Poin¬ dexter pointed out, “We are the best team in the district, but we just lost our confi¬ dence after the first seven or eight.’’ Everybody knew that each basketball team was com¬ posed of five members on the court and about fifteen oth¬ ers who warmed up the bench, but not everyone knew the inside story on the My turn — Sammy Poindexter reaches above his opponents in or¬ der to catch a rebound.

Junior Darnell Webb explained, “We were a young team with a lack of experi¬ ence, but the experience we gained this year will help us next year.’’ Sophomore Terry Finley agreed when he said, “This year was a rebuilding year for us. We will improve greatly next year.” This young team suffered when star member Mike Porter broke his wrist after the first three games. The doctors told him that he would not play for six more weeks — the rest of the season. How¬ ever, with his parents’ per¬ mission, Mike cut the cast off himself and returned to the court after two games. While numerous fans knew the game of basketball, the team members, and the coaches, too many did not know what really made a handful of students and coaches a basketball team — practices, ups and downs, attitudes, wins and losses, road trips, locker room talks, injuries, and fan support. Wade Hutchens summed up the year when he said, “We were a young team that can only improve.’’ BOYS’ BASKETBALL PCHS OPPONENT 50 Robert E.

The J.V. team, which finished seventh in the dis¬ trict, ended up with a 7-9 re¬ cord, while the freshmen posted an 0-14 campaign. J.V. coach Arthur Johnson felt his team did not do quite as well as it expected to do, “We had great potential,’’ Coach Johnson said. “We had excellent shooting but we just couldn’t get it togeth¬ er.” Johnson felt the team lost its confidence after the first seven or eight games, and the rest of the season was all up hill. “It was hard sitting on the bench watching what was going on.” Coach John¬ son said. “The kids were just afraid to shoot. I would have enjoyed coaching more if we had won a few more games.” Coach Clark Reece and the freshman basketball team ended up in last place in the Roanoke Valley District, but Coach Reece thought the season was well worth the heartache, “When you are successful you always enjoy yourself more, but I still en¬ joyed myself this year. We didn’t do as well as we ex¬ pected, and I thought we could have done better,’’ Coach Reece said. Despite the disappointing records posted by the freshmen and junior varsity teams, the players, coaches, and fans still enjoyed themselves and look forward to next year. Darrell Webb believed that the team did not have a win¬ ning year because, “The team had the players but, it seemed like we didn’t want to win. We played a very tough schedule against a lot of hard teams. We lost Charles Arnold, but contin¬ ued to play hard.” Muscle man — Robert Carr strikes a muscle builder’s pose while going up for a rebound in a ninth grade game.

Basketball 139 It was Pulaski vs. Roanoke Catholic, a home game. The entire game had been ex¬ tremely close, and the crowd was in a state of intense ex¬ citement. The clock was winding down, and the girls’ basketball team actually had a chance to win their first game since the 1978 season. Tempers flared and fouls came thick and fast. Even the officials seemed nervous and were calling it close. Roanoke Catholic was up by one point, and there were six seconds left.

All night long, Tonia had struggled with her per¬ formance. With the ball in her hands, the crowd held its breath. Teammate Rhonda Wood was under the basket, but she was being closely de¬ fended. With one second left, Tonia threw up a desperation shot. The ball swished through the net, and the buzzer went off before the ball hit the floor. There was pandemonium! The team and the fans could easily have been mistaken for the winners of the super bowl. There were smiles, hugs, and even a few tears. The Roanoke Catholic game was the highlight of a season that also had many low points. The girls’ basket¬ ball team started the season out with a close game against Roanoke Catholic. The second game against Roanoke Catholic was a tre¬ mendous victory. After the win, the girls’ basketball team went into a slump for the rest of the season. Coach Rod Reedy said, ‘‘It’s like a step ladder; you can’t go from winning noth¬ ing to winning every game. I think that we have made the first step up and we will im¬ prove in the future.” How did the girls feel about their season? Senior captain Rhonda Wood said, “We pulled together and we now play like a team.” She added ‘‘It’s sad to think about it be¬ ing my last year.

At the end of a hard fought day on February 13, the Cougars came out with second place in the district. They finished behind always tough William Fleming. Coach Dickie McMillan said, “It’s the high est place Pu¬ laski County wrestlers have ever received in the district tournament.’’ The grapplers got off to a slow start, and there were a lot of setbacks. The biggest change for wrestlers was the addition of a 176-pound weight class. This increased the starting line-up from twelve to thirteen men. Un¬ like other teams, the Cou¬ gars suffered a loss of man¬ power during the season be¬ cause of this. The upper weight classes were surprisingly dominated by freshmen and sopho¬ mores. Freshman Richie Hasson wrestled the unlimit¬ ed weight class weighing 220. Sophomore Johnny Johnson came in at 185, while the new 176 weight class was occupied by soph¬ omore Dickie Johnson. Most of the matmen’s ex¬ perience lay in the middle weight classes. Coming back for the Cougars were Roger Hill, 167; Mike Christian, 138; Bill Jones, 126; Charles Hodge, 132; David More- head, 112; Tony McCurry, 105; and Butch Childress, 119. The three remaining weight classes were split among upper and lower classmen. The 98-pound weight class was filled by freshman Jeff Aker. The 145 and 155 classes were taken by Steve Trivisonno and Jimmy Capaldini, re¬ spectively. Trivisonno and Capaldini both had wrestled in preliminaries before but made their varsity debut this year. In the regular season Butch Childress and Tony McCurry were undefeated. They both took first place in the district at their individual weight classes, while Charles Hodge received sec¬ ond in his. Childress moved up from co-captain to cap¬ tain. Childress had a four- year record of 90-5. Along with that, he had three dis¬ trict titles, two regional titles and has placed in the top three at state competition twice. When asked about the wrestling season, Tony McCurry replied, “On paper we were supposed to be the best in the district. We had a few setbacks, but we fought and came out with second place in the district. That’s not bad for a five-hundred season.” Rock a bye —Bill Jones holds his Fleming opponent in a cradle for the vital back points in the last home match of the season.

Mrs. Betty Holcomb’s team lost three meets by three points or less and ended the season with a 2-5 record. The team suffered a tremendous blow from the start when seniors Becky Perdue,Robyn Walker, and Carol Ann Luttrell decid¬ ed not to try out for the team. On a team dominated by un¬ derclassmen, two juniors shown above all. Shirley Per¬ ry took six first places and nine second places out of all the meets, with her strongest event being the floor exer¬ cise. Carole Abbott took one first place and two second places on the balance beam with an excellent routine. Both girls placed in district and in regional competition to advance to state finals. All the members will be re¬ turning next year, so they should be prepared for what lies ahead. Coach Betty Hol¬ comb said, “We didn’t pull to¬ gether this year as we ex¬ pected to, and everyone did well individually on separate rights. I was very pleased with the effort the girls dis¬ played.’’ Annette Dalton and Eva Al- tizer, the only two freshmen on the team, came from Dub¬ lin Middle School not know¬ ing what to expect in the high school meets. They fit in per¬ fectly, with Annette going all- around along with Shirley Perry. Sarah Pace decided to re¬ turn after a one-year ab¬ sence.

More Than Cheers Rainy football games. Practices in the locker banks. Spirit stickers. Expensive uniforms. Pyramids and pom pons. Depressing losses. Wind-blown hair. Cheerlead¬ ing was more than just lead¬ ing cheers. For one week during the summer months, the varsity cheerleaders were at the Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp in Lynchburg practic¬ ing cheers, chants, herky and Russian jumps, and pyramid building. The first night of camp, each squad performed a skit. The Varsity Gold Squad cheerleaders per¬ formed a skit about a cheer¬ leader named Elvira, and three football players who competed for her attention. Carol Ann Luttrell portrayed the primping Elvira, while the remaining cheerleaders per¬ formed as a cowboy chorus line to the country hit, Elvira. They received a second place award for the skit. At the end of the week, the high¬ est spirit award, Golden Ea¬ gle C.A. was given. The squad was first runner-up in this competition. Gold Squad member Caro¬ lyn Johnson said she en¬ joyed cheering because, “When we’re at wrestling matches we get so fired up. It’s really a great feeling to know you’re part of the ac¬ tion. This “part of the action” involved year-round work for all cheerleaders. It made cheerleading more than wearing mini-skirts in Janu¬ ary or turning flips at football games.

The cheerleaders were definitely part of the victories for the team, for they played a major role in boosting the crowd’s enthusiasm. Through the cheerleaders and the crowd the team gets “up” for the game. To prepare for the up¬ coming year, the cheer¬ leaders spent their summer attending special camps in various parts of the state. There they learned many cheers, chants, and stunts for the coming season. The girls practiced two days a week during the school year, and also practiced on their own time to keep in shape. To be a good cheerleader not only required practice. The girls had to set a good example for their school, make good grades, and take pride in themselves and in their school. Captain Laura Greer said that being a cheerleader is a demanding role, “You have to have a good personality, but above all you have to be yourself.” Aliceon Cox said, “You need to be a healthy athlete and have a good attitude, so you can cope with all the work and the people you meet.” The cheerleaders raised money for various expenses by selling peanuts at all of the football games. The Boost¬ er’s Club helped out by do¬ nating money to the J.V. cheerleaders for new sweat¬ ers. Miss Brenda Waller said that being a cheerleading sponsor was much more time comsuming than she had first thought. She also said, “The hardest part in be¬ ing a cheerleading sponsor was trying to suit twelve girls who have different needs and personalities. The cheer¬ leaders might have been twelve different people, but they had one goal in mind: the success of the Cougar sports programs.” 152 Sports Let’s get fired up — Freshman Andy Hatch encourages her squad to get off the bench and back on the field at a home football game.

The American Heritage Dictio¬ nary defined a coach as one who trains athletes or athlet¬ ic teams, but the responsibil¬ ity of a coach went far be¬ yond mere training. High school coaches were never merely coaches; they were also classroom teachers, wives, husbands, mothers, and fathers. For salary sup¬ plements that never seemed quite large enough, a small portion of the faculty also had coaching duties. Coaches came from all de¬ partments, including P.E., so¬ cial studies, English, and guidance. They were both male and female, young and old. Their coaching experi¬ ence ranged from eighteen years or longer to one year. However, all coaches had some things in common. They all put in long, exhaust¬ ing hours during practices and games, and they all had mixed feelings about their duties. Mrs. Betty Holcomb taught P.E., as well as coached gymnastics and track. She said, “It’s ex¬ tremely difficult to go to an away match, return after 12:00, and get prepared for an eight o’clock class the next day.” In regard to combining coaching, teaching, and fam¬ ily, Mrs. Louisa Chrisley said, “There aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything the way I would like it to be done. It is even more difficult when you try to have a family as well. A three dimensional life (teaching, coaching, and home) is a real strain at the best.” Girls’ basketball coach Rod Reedy added, “Teach¬ ing and coaching does put a strain on the teacher be¬ cause of the time element in¬ volved in coaching a sport.” There were incredible de¬ mands, but there were also incredible rewards. What made coaching worthwhile? Track coach David Wright enjoyed “working with young men and seeing them im¬ prove and become as good as possible at what they do.” Louisa Chrisley gave the rea¬ son that most coaches worked so hard, as she said, “I enjoy seeing the child who works hard make it.” Double trouble — Coach John Westberg and Coach Tim Cordle react in different ways to a play in a J.V. football game. 154 Sports mm Pulling for the girls silently — Coach Betty Holcomb and Tara Jones watch anxiously during a girls’ gymnastics meet.

To return to famil¬ iar territory and familiar faces and being “on top” was a frequent desire. While the middle school had its attrac¬ tions, they were sometimes outweighed by the advan¬ tages of moving up to the privileges of high school.

Unlike the pre¬ vious school year at the mid¬ dle schools, they were no longer the “oldest.” In fact, they were at the very bottom of the scale, the youngest of four classes. Many strange and exciting events awaited the freshmen in their first year, some good and some hu¬ miliating. At the hands of the upperclassmen, freshmen were reminded nearly every day of their lowly status. Nearly every freshman could recall a specific event, a day on which he realized the full impact of being the youngest. “I first knew I was a freshman when ...” “I was put in the trash can.” Kevin Williams “I had to reach over my head Freshmen Talk 44 I First Knew I Was A Freshman When ... to get to the pencil sharpener.” Timmy Kirtner “I got lost four times on the first day of school and went to the wrong pod twice.” Michael McNutt “Some upperclassmen made me stand on some lockers and sing, ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’.” Tina Smith “My shoe was taken off my foot and thrown around like a football.” Missy Martin “A friend offered to sell me a pep rally ticket.” Stephanie Bird “I walked in the school and didn’t know where I was.” James Dalton Hit me with your best shot — Fresh¬ man Melissa McCrorey positions her¬ self to return her opponent’s shot. w 160 Freshmen Robin Counts Shane Covey Aliceon Cox Lee Cox Mike Cox Phillip Cox Randy Cox Timothy Cox Garnett Craig Stephen Craig Gary Crawford Mark Crawford Paige Crawford Michael Crosier Corrina Croteau Ellen Crouch Tammy Crowder Thomas Cruise Annette Dalton Gary Dalton James Dalton Sandra Dalton Chuck Daugherty Chris Davis Jasper Davis Lisa Davis Sherry Davis Lisa Dean Tommy Dean Donald Dehart Debra Dickerson William Dillon Douglas J.

Assassinations, attempted assassinations, terrorism, threats of a nuclear holocaust, corruption in government, and political scandals of all types came at freshmen from the newspapers, radio, televi¬ sion, and word of mouth. Con¬ fronted by such a world and often dissolutioned by it, freshmen sometimes sought solace in the past. Many freshmen had a favorite char¬ acter in their history books, and they entertained the no¬ tion of establishing contact with that person. There were a variety of favorite characters from history, and freshmen found it entertaining to pon¬ der the thought, “If I could talk to one famous person from history ...” “I would talk to Jesus Christ, to see what He looked like and how He thought.” Jill McClanahan “I would talk to Albert Ein¬ stein and get him to help me with my science.” Gordon King “I would talk to John F.

Freshmen found their school to be a place where ev¬ erything seemed to be pre¬ planned. Class schedules were set, athletic and social activities were arranged, holi¬ days were designated months in advance, and I.M.C. rules seemed to be set in stone. At every turn, freshmen found that everything had already been planned, and their input was negligible. One of the “pre-planned” things of great interest to freshmen was the cafeteria lunch menu. Of course, students had to eat whatever had been planned for any particular day, but that did not prevent students from mentally preparing the ideal lunch. “If I could plan the cafeteria’s lunch menu for one day ...” “I’d have cheeseburgers that aren’t rubbery, french fries that aren’t soggy or burned, and milk shakes and cokes.” Garnett Craig “I would have steak, salad, potatoes, and cake — all free.” Jimmy Coalson “I would have a large pizza, with everything on it.” Debbie Clark “The menu would be filet mig- non, a chef salad, baked pota¬ to, and iced tea.” Susan Edwards “I would have chitterlings, okra, fried tomatoes, and broccoli juice.” Joe Guthrie “I’d eat out.” Chuck Daugherty • V JSk ' ' Break time — Freshman Chip Sparks exhausting cross country run during pauses to catch his breath after an a fall meet. 164 Freshmen Jill McClanahan Alice McCoy Angela,McCrary Melissa McCrorey Stefania McDaniel Malana McGlothin Derrick McGraw Jody McMillian Michael McNutt Diana Maddy Melissa Mallery Jill Manning Tammy Mannon Ronald Marshall Brian Martin Donald Martin Edgar Martin Missy Martin Ronald Martin Sherry Martin Timmy Martin William J.

When the confining bonds started to chafe against freshman skin, it became a time to reflect on making changes. Some wished — for changes were not to be taken seriously, of course, but oth¬ ers suggested some needed in¬ novations. When asked to suggest changes, freshmen sought ways to liven up their school days. “If I could make one change in this school. . .” Wild hair and stripes — Freshman Christine Bowman changes her looks for Punk Rock day. “I would give freshmen more privileges.” Eva Altizer “I would put up traffic lights in the halls.” Rita Alexander “We would ride horses and go swimming during school hours (this would take the place of science and algebra).” Julie Anderson “I would do away with P.E.” Karen Johnson “I would make every class a free time.” John Epperly “There would be ten minutes between classes instead of five.” Randy Jones Jerry Smith Joe Smith Michael Smith Roy Smith Sonja Smith Tina Smith Johnna Snell Shannon Songer Chip Sparks Donna Spence Dreama Spence Gertrude Spence Robert Spence Carolyn Stafford Charles Stafford Tom Stanley Michaela Stanley Howard Stephens Brian Stewart Governor Stigger Wayne Stillwell Cynthia Stoots Debbie Stoots Sabrina Stoots Charlotte Stout Preston Strader Loren Stuart Janet Stuart Susan Stuart Phillip Sullivan Dale Summers Donald Sumner Freshmen 167 Tammy Summers Angie Surface Jimmy Surface David Sutphin Vivian Swinney Eugene Tallant Pam Tate Carlenia Taylor David Taylor Debra Thomas Richard Thomas Bobby Thompson Jodi Thompson Sherry Thompson William E.

It meant being too young to have a driver’s li¬ cense, much less a car. It meant depending on someone else to provide transportation to any place. It meant being the “youngest class,” the bot¬ tom in a pile of 2,200 students. In short, it meant waiting to grow older. So, while the freshmen waited, they had plenty of time to dream and make wishes. “If I could have one wish ...” “It would be that there al¬ ways would be peace and no¬ body would have any worries or cares.” Randy Jones “I’d wish I had a new black Ferrari.” Gordon King One Wish ...” “I would marry a millionaire preppy.” Hope Ward “I would wish for wisdom.” John Epperly “I would live in the mountains with my wife for the rest of my life with nothing to worry about.” Lee Bushong “I would play at Wimbledon.” Pat Morris “I would become a pro base¬ ball player.” Tony Minter “I would become rich.” Tom Barnette Make a wish — Freshman Rhonda Woodyard is escorted by Jay Peters at the Miss PCHS pageant.

I think that the mili¬ tary is strong, but not strong enough.” Tracy Howard “I think we need to have mili¬ tary protection, but I am total¬ ly against wars. They could be settled easier.” Branch Wyatt “One thing I dislike is that one has the right to draft someone into the army. Peo¬ ple don’t grow up from babies to men just to fight in wars. They have a choice to do what they want.” Chris Poole “I think it is good to keep our military in a good condition in case of an attack on our na¬ tion.” Brian Watson “I believe we should have a strong defense because Rus¬ sia has one now.” Larry Fox “I think we should always be prepared and stronger than foreign nations, but keep from war as much as possible.” Michelle Williams “I think it is a necessity be¬ cause we must be able to de¬ feat the Russians anywhere and anytime in order to sur¬ vive.” Patrick Shelor “We need some military strength in our country.

With the success of the “Colum¬ bia,” sophomores began to envision the day when one might leave an overcrowded Earth and head for the unset¬ tled territories in outer space. “How would you like to be a space colonist . . . ? “I would not mind this be¬ cause if the population keeps rising, we are going to have to find a place for all of the peo¬ ple to live; and I am also a space nut.” Greg Nixon “I would love to be one. I think it would be great to explore new planets.” Brad Nester “It would be a great feeling to be the one to make history.” Trudy Steger “I would like to become a space pioneer and help start a colony.

A lack of funds usually kept sophomores from realizing the vacations they would have liked to have. However, most sophomores had a dream vacation in mind, despite the fact that the dream might never become a reality. “What is a perfect dream vacation for you . . . ?” “I would like to go to Rome, Japan, and to Hawaii, staying in each for a month.” Jason Rorrer “I’d spend a month in Venice, Italy, with Magnum P.I. (ooo- la-la).” Lisa Frye “Two months in a penthouse at the beach and plenty of money to spend.” Karen Henthorn “I would go away to a desert¬ ed island with a cool ocean, palm trees, and the beautiful blue sky.” Jennifer Richardson “Going on a Love Boat Cruise with someone special.” Laura Greer “A dream vacation for me would be to go to Kentucky and ride horses all day long.” Angie Phillips “I would like to go into the mountains and spend some¬ time by myself.” Jill Harper A snow covered dream — Many soph- found themselves stuck at home in omores wanted to go to Hawaii, but the snow.

A slowdown in the textile and furniture indus¬ tries hit the area hard, and sophomores often found fam¬ ily income reduced. Thus, many students found it neces¬ sary to obtain jobs. For some, it was only a few hours each day after school and on Satur¬ days. For others, it was a full¬ time job, working second shift after a full day at school. “How do you feel about work¬ ing and going to school. . . ?” “I’m all for it! I think I am re¬ sponsible enough to handle a part-time job and school.” Karen Thompson “I think if you’re going to school and have a job, you should do your best and plan to have time for school work.” Lisa Roseberry “I’m employed, and I enjoy working and coming to school! It is a great experience for me. It’s really a chal¬ lenge!” Rhonda Ryan “I would like to work and go to school at the same time, be¬ cause when I get home in the evening, I have nothing to do.” Mary Rakes “I feel that if a student wants to work and needs the money badly enough, he should work, but not let it interfere with school.” Billie Simmerman “I work after school, and I find it hard to get up in the morn¬ ings because I’m so tired.” Gordon Huff School on Saturday — Sophomores give of their time on Saturday to work Greg Gooch and Charleen Largen on the yearbook.

As avid television “addicts,” nearly every sophomore had a favorite show. And if one real¬ ly became wrapped up in a show, it was fun to fantasize about actually being on that show. To be transported from Pulaski County to New York or Hollywood for a guest ap¬ pearance on television seemed to be a nice dream. “If you could be a guest on any T.V. show, what would you choose .. . ?” “Magnum P.I.” Nancy Martin “I’d like to be on Dallas and have money for a change.” Mike Quesenberry “Saturday Night Live.” Mike Linkous “Love Boat.” Laura Greer Stick it — Sophomores Kim Johnston and Kim Jones decorate the poles in the sophomore locker bank for home¬ coming week.

The fresh¬ man and sophomore years were over, and the highlight, the senior year, was yet to come. More than halfway through their high school years, juniors took time to look backward and tried to re¬ member “the best,” before the senior year arrived. “What has been the highlight of your high school years . . . ?” “The highlight, for me, was getting our class rings.” Vicky Bouras “The success of the football team and meeting new friends have both been big highlights in my years at PCHS.” Angie Clark Close encounters — John Steger and Karen Thompson dance the night away at a football sock hop. “Going on band trips and re¬ ceiving superior ratings when competing made high school a lot better.” Michael Gladden “The most fun I’ve had is when I went to dances, sports activities, and ordering class rings. These things have real¬ ly made my years at PCHS.” Angie Kemp “Being able to letter in foot¬ ball.” Mike Parks “My highlight was being elected as a district officer for VICA.” Shelia Popp “Always meeting new people.” Billy Lawson Robin Crowder Tammy Croy Cedrick Cruise Norman Cummings Rusty Daily Cathy Dalton Elizabeth Dalton Tamie Dalton Teresa Dalton Melissa Dalton Sandra Davis Sheldon Davis Juniors 187 Wanda Davis Tonya Dawson Thomas Deaderick Dianna Dean James Deaton Steven DeHaven Kevin Delp Sandra Denny Bobby Dillon Karen Dishon Monica Doyle Kevin Dudley Juniors Tell All “What Is Your Goal In Life ... ?” Juniors were sometimes struck with the realization that in only one year high school would be over and de¬ cisions would have to be made. Shortly, the shelter of high school would be gone and the world would have to be met head-on. Nearly ev¬ eryone had goals, some loftier than others; nevertheless, rarely was there a junior with¬ out a plan for his life. “What is your goal in life . . . ?” “I want to become a great journalist and have books on the best seller list.” Vicki White “I plan to join the air force.” Bobby Dillon “I want to graduate from high school and forget about school forever.” Debbie Dunford “I hope to be able to find a good job and be successful at what I do.” Doug Williams “Make a career in the army.” Leonard Dunford “I want to attend Radford University and go into nurs¬ ing.” Sherri Tate “To be a success.” Wayne Burchett “To live.” David Bentley Fill it to the rim — Chris Akers is per¬ forming his never ending job in the Cougar Den, serving coffee or any¬ thing else on the menu that faculty, as well as students, order.

Thing About This School ... Total satisfaction with one’s school or work environment is very seldom realized, and ju¬ niors often voiced their dissa¬ tisfactions with their lot at school. Ranging from the seri¬ ous to the absurd, juniors were constantly pondering ways to change and improve their school. Areas requiring change were generally recog¬ nized as the cafeteria food, rules about detention, home¬ work assignments, parking lot protocol, attendance poli¬ cy, and many others. The chances of the juniors them¬ selves bringing major changes in the school were not great, of course, but that did not keep juniors from wishing. “If you could change one thing about this school 99 “To pass the time, I would like to have the music put in the commons.’’ Jeff Sadler “I would change the rules for being kicked out. If you fight to defend yourself, you should not be kicked out.” David Bentley “We would have the air-condi¬ tioner in the summer, not the winter; and the heaters would work better in the winter than in the summer.” Elizabeth Boitnott “If I could change anything in this school, I would put some windows in this place.” Wally Flinchum “We need more time between classes.

Many juniors even developed the ability to laugh at themselves. “What has been your most horrifying ex¬ perience in high school . . . ? “I was acting cool in front of the girls’ gym class and some¬ one pulled my shorts down to my knees, underwear and all!” Mike Parks “Going to the wrong classes my freshman year.” Leonard Dunford “I had a terrible time trying to sell newspapers.” Doug Williams “In the ninth grade I was al¬ most put in a trash can.” Debbie Dunford “Ninth grade.” Wayne Burchett “My worst experience was getting called to the office for the first time.” Vicki White “When I was a freshman, I was stuck in a trash can full of bees.” Sherri Tate Ready, aim, fire — Alisa Barnett is in in a big win over Roanoke Catholic, perfect form for shooting a foul shot the team’s first in five seasons. 192 Juniors Tim Lilly Gene Lindstrom Beverly Lineberry Shelva Linkous Joey Long Kim Long Mike Long Missy Lorton Garnett Lyons Randy Lyons Melissa Lorton Michael McClanahan Patrick McClanahan Richard McCourt Maureen McCoy Steven McCoy Tony McCurry Johnny McGlothin Chuck McKinster Cindy McMillian Danny McNeill Jeff Manning Katrina Mantz Thomas Marshall Alfonso Martin Chris Martin Lisa Martin Matthew Martin Timmy Martin Robert Mason Karen Mathena Vickie Mathena Terry Matney Douglas Meadows Julius Meadows Philip Melton Sara Melton Tom Meredith Shirley Miller Marcia Mills Mark Mines Carol Mitchell Connie Mitchell Darrell Mitchell Doug Mitchell Michael Mitchell Rose Mitchell Russell Mitchell Juniors 193 Melissa Milton Eric Mitts Michael Montgomery Angie Moore Donna Moore Dyer Moore Steven Moore Jeff Morefield Anthony Morris Gary Morris Timothy Morris George Morrison Desi Moser Billy Myers Rebecca Neel Bobby Nester Talmadge Nester Tammy Nester LaFon O’Dell Letana O’Dell Penny Odell Rhondie Ousley Amy Overton Mary Owen Joseph Pannell Mike Parks John Patterson Lisa Patterson Jolene Payne Glen Peacock David Peaks Lanette Pearce John Pearman Shirley Perry Cindy Phillippy Dana Phillips Mareike Phillips Terrence Phillips Paula Poff Shelia Popp Tami Powell Wayne Powers Dwayne Price Matthew Price Vernon Prim Gary Proffitt Doris Puckett Brenda Quesenberry 194 Juniors Diana Quesenberry Judy Quesenberry Margaret Quesenberry Mark Quesenberry Robin Quesenberry Walter Quesenberry Karen Radcliff Becky Rash Billie Ratcliffe Douglas Ratcliffe Sharon Ratcliffe Sherri Ratcliffe Supervising — Kathy Breedlove con- decorations in the junior locker centrates on ideas for homecoming banks. Juniors Tell All ‘if You Were The Last Person Left On Earth ... With the gradually increas¬ ing military might of the world powers, the increased production of nuclear weap¬ ons, and the sometimes un¬ nerving world situation, ju¬ niors were confronted with the possibility that the na¬ tions of the world might even¬ tually destroy each other in a war to end all wars. Though it would be highly unlikely, it was interesting for juniors to contemplate what it would be like to be the sole survivor of such a holocaust. “What would you do if you were the last person left on earth . . . ?” “I would spend my time trying not to go crazy.” Lynn King “A lot of my time would go to trying to figure out how to “Pigging out” — Debbie Frye and Lee Riddle “pig out” in the Commons dur¬ ing lunch. start a new population.” Eric Jones “I would spend my time very wisely.” Vicky Bouras “What could I do by myself on this earth?

Recession, inflation, gov¬ ernments collapsing, threats of terrorism, famine, pollu¬ tion, water shortages; juniors found themselves daily facing a world of unpleasant events, a world which frequently seemed absolutely insane. For the sensitive, aware junior, it was all very frightening. In a world bombarded with prob¬ lems, many juniors found themselves worried about what the future world would bring. “What bothers me most about the world situation . . .” “I worry about the arms peace talks between Russia and the U.S.” Michael Gladden “The building of nuclear weapons concerns me.” Alan Anderson “I’m worried about the way Russians are starting over in the Middle East countries by backing terrorists.” Angie Clark “It bothers me that everybody is always complaining about their problems.” John Steger “Taxes and threats of war. that really worries me.” Shelia Popp “I worry about the threat of nuclear attack, holocaust, or war!” David Bentley “One problem is having Ron¬ ald Reagan as the president of the U.S.” Mike Parks All smiles — Junior class officers Catherine Jackson, Regina Brum¬ field, Lovora Brown, and Susie Brill- hart sit on the front wall.

Seniors Say Beanies And Church Clothes What group of students went to colleges for a week during summer and wore beanies, wore church clothes on the weekdays, and elected officials such as mayor and governor, although they were only seventeen? The answer — Richard Savage, Billy Tol¬ bert, Donnie Tickle, Robyn Walker, and Kelly Parah who were elected by their class- Stand up for seniors — Boys’ and Girls’ State members Kelly Parah, Billy Tolbert, Richard Savage, Don- mates to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State. These five privileged stu¬ dents spent the week working hard and playing easy. Their work time was spent learning about state governments and participating in mock govern¬ ments. Free time was spent playing ball or catching up on lost sleep. nie Tickle, and Robyn Walker gather on the steps of the English pod during the Christmas season. What did you learn at Girls 9 Boys’ State? “About today’s system of government, and how it works.” Billy Tolbert “I learned how our local and state governments worked and I was allowed to take part in the process of electing delegates. I worked with the other members of my city and came up with a city document.” Robyn Walker “I learned how our govern¬ ment is set up and run. Each of the girls participated and learned the responsibilities of each of the offices. We had a mock election. I learned what was involved in having a cau¬ cus, also.” Kelly Parah What was your most memo¬ rable experience? “Meeting a lot of new friends. Playing on the cham¬ pionship softball team of the whole Boys’ State.” Donnie Tickle “I’ll never forget all the very special people I met. They were all great and I’ll never forget the impression they had on my life.” Robyn Walker “Meeting people from around the state.” Billy Tolbert It was an honor to go to Boys’ Girls’ State. But, what were the disadvantages? “The heat. At some of the seminars it was anywhere from 105°-110°.” Donnie Tickle “One of the disadvantages was the heat we had to put up with — without air condition¬ ers! The food was not mom’s home cooking either.” Kelly Parah “One of the main disadvan¬ tages was the heat. It stayed around 100° all week and the dorm was not air conditioned. Another disadvantage was the lack of rest. We stayed very busy and we did not have any free time.” Robyn Walker At Boys’ State you gained knowledge of today’s system of government. What do you plan to do with this knowledge? “I’ll use it to better my un¬ derstanding of the govern¬ ment under which we live to¬ day.” Billy Tolbert Seniors 203 Did you hear the one about. .. ?

Seniors Speak Out “What Will You Remember Most About Your Senior Year_?” School was more than homework and lunch. Over a third of a senior’s life had been spent in school. They had discovered a lot of things and people. In four years, it was sometimes difficult to pick out the most memorable event in a memory-filled year. “Seniors, what will you re¬ member most about your se¬ nior year?” “Being on senior steering committee.” Barbara Lawson “All of the different things that seniors get to do, like senior sneak day.” Lisa Woodyard “Graduation night.” Mike Tolley “Mr. Huff.” Don Caldwell “Boys’ beauty pageant.” Dale Ferguson “Homecoming.” Ann Lundy “All the friends and activities, plus special events.” Keith Pattison DEBORAH KAY BROWN BSU 12; FHA 12 ANDREW CHARLES BURCHAM Pep 9-10; Backgammon 12; Marching Band 9-10; Concert Band 9-11 CYNTHIA BURGESS KENNETH VINCENT BURNETT 204 Seniors ROMENTA GENGER BURRESS FBLA 10, 11; HOSA 12 DEREK ROSS BURTON VICA 9, 10; Dungeons and Dragons 12; Backgam¬ mon 12; Cross Country 10 DONNA LOU BURTON Pep 9, 10; ICF 10: VICA 10 MELISSA LOUISE BURTON Art 11; HERO 11, 12; FHA 11 HENRY ARNOLD BYRD, JR.

David Cox, Heather McGinley, and William Ste¬ venson definitely set some major goals for themselves and worked hard to achieve them. David, Heather, and Wil¬ liam, all members of the class of 1982, were chosen as Na¬ tional Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists. It was quite an accomplishment which meant they might be eligible to receive college scholarship funds. David Cox was involved in Chess Club and the Science Club since ninth grade. He was also involved in amateur radio. In the eleventh grade David took Advanced Biology and Advanced American His¬ tory. He also attended a math rally and won a chemistry award. His senior classes were A.P. English, Advanced Chemistry, Calculus, Physics, Government, and German IV. Heather McGinley was in¬ volved in cheerleading and band throughout her ninth and tenth grade years. In the ninth grade she played flute and in the tenth she was a member of the flag corps. Heather had a full senior schedule which included A. P. English and German III. William Stevenson was in¬ volved in the National Honor Society in eleventh and Three’s company — National Merit Scholars are David Cox, Heather McGinley, and William Stevenson. twelfth grades. He had four years of German. He particu- lary enjoyed Chemistry and Physics. He also played elec¬ tric guitar in a local rock group, Phase II. What does it mean to you to have been selected as a NMS Semi-Finalist? In the long run, it will probably help me to be selected for a college I hope to attend.” — David Cox “I think it is a great honor. It makes all the hard work seem worth it.” — William Stevenson Have you taken any courses in high school that you feel helped you on the PSAT? “Most of the things that were on the test I picked up some¬ where along the way in all my classes.” — Heather McGinley Do you have any advice for any other students? “Try to obtain the most that you can out of high school.” — William Stevenson “Do your best at anything you try.” — David Cox Seniors 207 Seniors Speak Out “The Future Is Yours, What Do You Plan To Do With It ... ?” For as long as they could remember, seniors had gone to school; or else they had lit¬ tle to say over what they did. It was all drawing to an end. Some would go on to school, but that was just a beginning. What about the rest of their lives? “Seniors, the future is yours. What do you plan to do with it . .. ?” “The Air Force.” Terry Worrell “Get into rodeos.” Don Caldwell “I’m going to be a guitar play¬ er.” Mike Tolley “Go into architecture.” Diane Glasgow “Go to college and major in music.” Kelley Hopkins “Win a Nobel Prize in phys¬ ics.” David Co “Go to college.” Mary Beth Smith Point and find — Leslie Coulson com- crofish equipment in the career guid- ments to Donna Phipps about the mi- ance center.

The bad points are seeing all the people who can’t take it.” LeRoy Burton What are your feelings about being different in appear¬ ance? I am not different from them; they are different from me.” Phillip Dillon If the United States goes to war before you finish your time , what will you do? “Train the people to fight.” LeRoy Burton When school let out for summer vacation last year, tradition held and many stu¬ dents went to Myrtle Beach, played tennis or golf, worked at stores or factories, or swam at area pools. However, three students broke tradition and did something unique — they joined the army. Why did you join the army? “I joined the army because it was a challenge. The money is good, and I always wanted to be a drill instructor.” Phillip Dillon “I just wanted to see what the army was like.” Guy Stike What did you do in the army? “I was at Fort Dix, New Jer¬ sey in basic training. It was the last phase of BCT because they found that it was too dan¬ gerous. I learned self-defense, how to fire a M-16, and how to use hand-grenades.” Phillip Dillon “I was stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. There, I learned how to be a soldier, how to use the M-16 rifle and hand-grenades, and how to decontaminate myself after nuclear battles.” Guy Stike “In the army I got up at 3:30 every morning, had PT (phys¬ ical training) for a couple of hours, and learned all kinds of different ways to kill people.” LeRoy Burton What are the pros and cons of your work? “There are many benefits in the army — financial, college, dental, and medical. The bad part of the army is the time. I spent eight weeks in summer camp, and later on I will go to Denver, Colorado, for four months. The worst part of the army is the discipline. Do it the army way or no way at all.” Guy Stike “The pro of the army is that you are serving your country and serving your time. The Parade Rest — Phillip Dillon, LeRoy Burton, and Guy Stike stand at pa¬ rade rest exhibiting the form they learned at basic training in the Army Reserves at Fort Dix, New Jersey dur¬ ing the summer.

Under¬ classmen looked forward to it, alumni would never forget it. Seniors were something spe¬ cial, just a little different. Sen¬ iors were on the verge of be¬ ginning real life and leaving the security of childhood. They all survived, though, and even enjoyed it at times. Many times at that! “What did you find most enjoyable about being a senior . .. ? “Being at the top of the school and having everyone look up Billions and billions of stars — Senior Stephanie Cruise prepares to give her to you.” Andre Hendricks “Getting out five minutes ear¬ ly for lunch.” Carl Baker “Everything! There is a feel¬ ing of calmness about it. Sen¬ iors are stuck between adult life and Saturday morning cartoons. The cartoons are better!” Gary Farmer “Eating lunch early, walking into pep rallies and having a lot more freedom.” Tammy Nelson astronomy presentation for her phys¬ ics project. 212 Seniors PATICIA TALBERT FARRIS LARRY DOUGLAS FELTS, JR.

Male athletes in the class of ’82 voted on the recipient of the award on the basis of lead¬ ership, sportsmanship, and scholarship. Joe Blanken¬ ship, tight end and defensive end on the football team, re¬ ceived this award for the year 1981. How do you feel about receiv¬ ing the Blair Jones Memorial Award? “It was a great honor.” What does this award mean to you? “It really means a lot to me because Blair and I were close friends, and we also played basketball together in the ninth grade.” Were you expecting this Joe Cool — Joe Blankenship, tight end and defensive end on the Varsity Football Team, shows off the Blair award? “No, I was surprised. I think there were a couple of guys who should have re¬ ceived this award because they did really well in two or three sports.” What is your advice to young male athletes who wish to move up in the world of sports? “They should work really hard and dedicate themselves to their sports, always seek¬ ing success.” Jones Memorial Award for ’81 which he received for being voted the most outs tanding male athlete.

There was much pressure to make future plans for life. What in the world am I to do now? “What is the first thing you’re going to do after graduation . . . ?” “Take a two week vacation to Myrtle Beach.” Thomas Vaughn “Think!” Nancy Cox “Celebrate!” Neal Kegley “Say hello to the world and hike the Appalachian Trail.” Gary Farmer “Order a ‘Boo Boo’s Bomber’ from Macadoo’s and invite 19 people to help me eat it.” Wendy Urquhart Pack up your troubles — Susan Reyn¬ olds puts in the last suitcase as she heads for the carefree life of the beach. 216 Seniors GARRY DWAYNE HELVEY VICA 11; Choir 10, 11 ANDREA MARIE HENDRICKS MARK STEVEN HIGHT FFA 9-12; Pep 10; VICA 11 CLAUDE GREGORY HILL 1CF 9, 10; VICA 12 ROGER MURPHY HILL Pep 12; Wrestling 9-12: Football 9-11 ANTHONY HAROLD HODGE VICA 10-12 CHARLENE VELMA HODGE BSU 9-12; Pep 9, 10; FBLA 12; Track 9-11 CHARLES DELMA HODGE VICA 10; Chess 9; Dungeons and Dragons 12; Wrestling 9-12; Second Place District Wrestling 10; Third Place District Wrestling 11 JAMES TIMOTHY HODGE FFA 9, 10; VICA 11, 12 RANDALL WAYNE HODGES DECA 9-11; VICA 9-11 PAUL DOUGLAS HOLLIDAY Football 10-12; Marching Band 9; Graduation Marshal 11 JUANITA RENEE HOLMES SHERILL NEIL HOLSTON, JR.

On October 31, the Com¬ mons Area was transformed into a house of ghouls. Ghosts hung from the ceiling, and the floor was crowded with scare¬ crows and pumpkins. Gangsters were present along with pirates, pumpkins, and vampires. The faculty got into the spirit also by dressing up. Mr. John Duncan came dressed as a hangman, and Mr. John Joseph as a road sign. The moment of truth came with the start of the contests. The Commons Area was filled with screams as the contes¬ tants fought to have the scar¬ iest scream. Then it was time for the costume contest. The judges had a hard time choos¬ ing, but finally they came up with the three winners. When asked what they en¬ joyed the most about the par¬ ty, many different answers were given. Eddie Sullivan said, “Seniors got together and had a fun time,” while Richard Toler answered, “It really showed where our school spirit lies — in the se¬ nior class.” It was evident that seniors awaited with ghoulish delight the night of Senior Midnight Madness.

Because they were so inquisi¬ tive! Seniors were once fresh¬ men, whether they admitted it or not. Freshmen asked such cute questions as, “Where’s the elevator?”, and “Where’s the Math 9 pod?” “As seniors, what questions did you have?” “Why do freshmen get shorter each year?” William Stevenson “What classified a person as a prep?” Randal Alley “When do we graduate?” Donnie Tickle “Is my future going to work?” Ann Tench “Are there really smurfs?” Gary Farmer “Is there life during dead time?” Jean Guthrie Grand illusion — Senior Gary Farmer daydreams about that not so far off day, graduation.

The symp¬ toms were classic: dazed look, inability to concentrate, fre¬ quent daydreams, regression to childish behavior, and a knack for answering every question with “What?” When it struck, it was unmistakable. Every teacher knew what it was, but no one came up with an antidote or cause! Seniors were asked, “When did you catch ‘senioritis’?” “When we ordered our an¬ nouncements.” Pam Chinault “About Christmas!” Ronnie Alley “Walking into the first pep rally!” Tonya Riddle “When our government teacher, Mr. Wayne Jenkins, said, ‘Have the first chapter read by Wednesday’.” Diane Glasgow “Second day of school!” Keith Dalton Tis the season to be jolly. — It’s also a not being in class. Seniors instead be- popular season for seniors to catch come involved in school activities, as “senioritis”. Often characterized by do Ronnie Alley and Ray Vuicich. Seniors 227 Seniors Speak Out “What’s The Craziest Thing You’ve Ever Done ... ?” In the past 17 or 18 years seniors had done many crazy acts. Although some students had adventurous childhoods, most daring and often un¬ speakable deeds were prob¬ ably performed during high school. Some were adventur¬ ous, some a little stupid and others were just crazy. So, “What’s the craziest thing you have ever done ... ?” “Had a tail gate picnic before a Friday night football game. People’s reactions were hilar¬ ious.” Diane Glasgow “Participated in the Boys’ Beauty Pageant.” Richard Toler “I signed up for Myths and Legends.” Tammy Nelson “Once we all dressed up like Cheech and Chong and went to see a Cheech and Chong movie. It was definitely wild.” William Stevenson Not a hair out of place. — Kaye Thompson adds the finishing touches to David Alley’s new blonde hair be¬ fore he goes on stage.

These seniors made up the Se¬ nior Steering Committee. One person was elected by his classmates from each govern¬ ment class to sit on this com¬ mittee. After each meeting, the group would deliver a re¬ port to their government classes in order to keep the entire class informed and in¬ volved. When the organiza¬ tion and preliminaries were over, some of the most excit¬ ing events in the high school’s history took place. These peo¬ ple helped make the class of 1982 a most memorable one.

No more high school, buses, or minia¬ ture people underfoot. Some great times had been spent in high school. There were al¬ ways regrets, though, some little mistake or something that was overlooked. It seemed that the most conve¬ nient time to make correc¬ tions was at the end. “Now that your high school days are coming to an end, what would you change..? “I’d like to change school in a way so we all (the whole school) really get to know each other. We need more ac¬ tivities in our school.” Renee Ritter “My grades!” Ann Holt “I would have become more involved with the school ac¬ tivities. I realize now that I missed a lot of fun.” Lorri Giles “There should be more down- to-earth people getting to do things instead of preps or up¬ per class people. Everyone should have a chance to get involved.” Amy Carter It must be Monday. — Teresa Viers iors experience.

Mr. Elmer Huff, twelfth grade principal, and Mr. Dale Conrad, twelfth grade counselor, worked with Mr. King to make the senior year the best. Mr. King went on to say, “The senior year in high school is the last year of ‘formal education’ for a lot of students, and the friendships that one made throughout the senior year are sometimes ones that last throughout a person’s lifetime.” How do you feel about work¬ ing with the senior class? “One of my most important personal philosophies con¬ cerning working with this se¬ nior class is to display an atti¬ tude of caring; not only for this class as a whole, but sin¬ cerely care for each individual as a special person with spe¬ cial interests and problems.” Mr. Jerry King “Tremendous! It is always a pleasure to work with the twelfth grade students.” Mr. Elmer Huff What makes this senior class different from last year’s? “It is bigger. It is sort of like a person; it has a personality. Each year is different and unique.” Mr. Dale Conrad “Each class has its own personaltiy. This class is unique in many ways, as other classes have been.” Mr. Elmer Huff How do you feel when you help the senior class? “I feel a lot of ways. I do many jobs — marriage coun¬ selor, career development, the person you come and talk to and who gets ' the information for career programs.” Mr. Dale Conrad What do you like about the senior class? “The seniors in the class of 1982 have an unbelievable amount of potential, both as followers and leaders (the world needs both) and I truly wish each of them the best of everything in their future years.” Mr. Jerry King “Helping seniors with their problems is a real pleasure, whether the problems are of a personal, educational, or vo¬ cational nature.” Mr. Elmer Huff This is the way it goes, folks. — Mr. Jerry King instructs the senior boys on how the Boys’ Beauty Pageant is going.

Seniors watched the other se¬ nior classes come and go. They had changed each year, doing things differently; and each class, like each person, was an individual. Many graduates felt that getting to know people earlier in the year was important. In the past they had always waited until the spring during senior week, so in the fall a Hallow¬ een Party was organized for seniors only. Not a bad start! So seniors, “What about the past seniors influenced your senior year most . .. ?” “How proud they were and how proud it made me feel.” Ricky Foutz “The way they have a good time and make themselves as a unit.” Terry Kemp “Their enthusiasm about school sports.” Mike Farmer “Their personalities.” Ralph Crowder You should see Radford !— 1981 Grad¬ uate Joe Hardy explains to seniors what college life is really like during a program held on club day in Decem¬ ber.

The six had a supporting staff of teachers, guidance counsel¬ ors, media specialists, secre¬ taries, and a nurse, but in the end, the big decisions came back to the six. Their days were always filled, and they had to contend with nearly every conceivable type of problem. Often it was a rou¬ tine matter, such as assigning detention for excessive tardi¬ ness, rounding up substitute teachers, introducing the speakers at assemblies, or checking i.d.’s at sock hops. Sometimes, however, they were confronted with big, headache-inducing problems such as fights, students or teachers who became severe¬ ly ill while at school, frozen water pipes, irate parents, or deciding how to fairly distrib¬ ute school funds. Certainly every administrator had a store of memories. “What was your most memorable day as an administrator ... ?” Days in which I have planned to accomplish a im¬ portant task for the school and instead become com¬ pelled to spend this time on a student discipline related situ¬ ation.” Dewey Wilson “SNOW DAYS!!!” Carl Lindstrom “The most difficult days for me are the ones when a large number of teachers are absent from school and I not only have to deal with this prob¬ lem, but also have to try to maintain with the status quo of daily routines.” Elmer Huff “The last few days of school last year seemed to come to mind. All of the water bottles and the eating caused quite a stir. We feel as if we have learned a lot from these days. The quote that seems appro¬ priate for those days is: “They told me there would be days like this, but they never said that they would all come in a row!’ ” Robert H.

Each teacher was given a planning period. Orders from headquarters —Social studies teacher Mr. Mike Rolen talks with department head Ms. Pat Phil¬ lips. Beside teaching government, Mr. Rolen coaches baseball. If a teacher who is just be¬ ginning his career has only taught one class, he already has memories of teaching. For nearly any teacher, memories accumulated quickly, and the memories themselves were sometimes good and some¬ times bad. Every teacher had classroom memories, such as the day everyone had read the chapter before coming to class, or the day the whole class fell asleep during a film¬ strip. The memories were not always enclosed by four walls, ither. There were out-of- class memories as well, such as a hard fought volleyball game in which every player gave 100% effort, or a choir member who performed flaw¬ lessly in competition. Every teacher had memories, both good and bad. “What was your most memorable mo¬ ment as a teacher . . . ?” “There have been quite a few special moments: One student came back after she had graduated and said ‘thank you.’ Those words meant so much to me . . . beating Franklin County in girls’ bas¬ ketball a few years ago . . . the year my basketball team had lost every game, but still told me they loved me and to stay with it.” Diane Wright “Winning the district cross country meet . . . seeing Ken¬ ny Burnett practicing on his own by running long distance on a cold windy day . . . watching the two mile relay team run 7:58 at Knoxville.” David Wright “There have been several; be¬ ing part of four Roanoke Val¬ ley District Championships; three in baseball and one in football . . . participating in regional playoffs in baseball and football.” Mike Rolen “Working with special educa¬ tion students in the work pro¬ gram, especially Bruce!” Frank Eller “Winning the first men’s dis¬ trict championship at Pulaski County High School in base¬ ball in 1978.” Wallace Flinchum Faculty 241 MR.

Rare was the faculty member who never suc¬ cumbed to occasional disap¬ pointment in his chosen pro¬ fession. Battered by inflation, teachers found their salaries hopelessly falling behind those of people in other ca¬ reers. Teachers also bore the brunt of criticism from a pub¬ lic disappointed with the low achievement levels of many students. There were rewards, of course; but nearly every faculty member had ideas about how to improve the teaching profession. “If you could change one thing about the teaching profession, what would it be . . . ?” “Make the teaching profes¬ sion for each teacher a full time job with sufficient salary so that a teacher does not have to work a second job.” Emma Gallimore “Salaries need to be more in line with those of individuals in a private industry with si- miliar educational back¬ grounds and also need to be more competitive with other states.” Fran Shelton “Besides the obvious reason (more money), I would like to Blazing celebration —Mr. Fran Shel¬ ton helps pile on the wood for a bon¬ fire. see my students become more responsible towards achiev¬ ing higher grades. It’s more frustrating to spend hours and hours of preparation and then see apathetic students not ap¬ preciating my efforts.” Odell Sheffey “I would like to see some type of scheduling change so that a teacher could finish all of his or her work in a regular school day and not be 24-hour machines. Teachers have to have time to themselves also.” Wayne Wooten “I would pay teachers and professional staff a salary which is more appropriate for the educational experience we have.” Charles Goolsby “I’d change the attitude of the students so that they would all love to come to school, thirst for a well-rounded edu¬ cation, respect teachers for their wealth of knowledge and ability to prepare students to become the absolute best they could be!” Betty Kreye “There is really nothing I would change about the teaching profession unless it would be to eliminate the frus¬ tration of having to discipline students who obviously can¬ not function in a public school because of their unacceptable behavior.” Martha Ireson .

Was it the way they talked, acted, or how many gifts they gave the teachers at Christmas? Or was it something else entire¬ ly? Some teachers had very different ideas about what the “ideal” student was like. “If you could describe the ideal student, what would he be like?” “The ideal student is one who has not grown up so complete¬ ly that he has forgotten his sense of wonder and curiosity about the world.” Patrick Irving “All my students are ideal — in one way or another. As a teacher, I find every student has at least one good point.” Brenda Waller “The ideal student is one who is curious and who cares about himself, other people, the environment, and ideas.” Elaine Cook “He would be on time to class, would miss no days, would al¬ ways have his assignment prepared, and would love to study English!” Frances Bradsher “The teacher’s dream is to have a student who questions Hard at work —Miss Suzanne Steele judges boy’s prose at forensics com¬ petition. the ‘whys’ and is never satis¬ fied with only the literal inter¬ pretation.” Audrey Burnett “The ideal student is one who shows enthusiasm and real¬ izes that being ‘bored’ is a re¬ flection of himself!” Odette Graham Faculty 245 MRS.

MIKE SOWDER: Special Education Faculty Communicate “What do you do when you aren’t teaching ... ?” Teachers did not always teach, although it may have seemed that way at times. Teaching was certainly not a nine to five job, and many teachers spent after school hours involved with school- related responsibilities, such as grading papers, making lesson plans, coaching, acting as chaperones, taking classes for recertification, or sponsor¬ ing countless other activities. On rare occasions, especially on weekends and during va¬ cations, many teachers sought out activities far re¬ moved from the world of school. Often their activities were strictly recreational, but many teachers felt the pinch of inflation and were forced to use their spare time in money¬ making endeavors. “What do you do when you aren’t teach- “I like to hunt and fish. I also find relaxation in running 4-5 days per week which keeps me in pretty good shape.” Bruce Henderson “Redecorate whatever I can get my hands on; paint, sew, or play tennis in the summer. I enjoy the beach especially, and try to get to Myrtle Beach at least once a summer.” Harriett Keister Ticket man —Mr. John Joseph serves double duty as he sells football tickets to students. “Play!” Lois Neblett “I like to take classes for fun, such as crocheting, hand guns for women, skiing, and guitar.

Discipline problems, stacks of ungraded papers, hall duty, long faculty meetings, and pay checks that never seemed to go far enough were counter bal¬ anced by sponsoring a win¬ ning yearbook, coaching a successful team, having a good class discussion, or hav¬ ing a student say “thank you.” It was just like any other job, with its “best” and “worst.” “What are the best and worst things about teaching ... ?” “I feel that the best thing about teaching is after a stu¬ dent successfully completed my program and has a job in his or her area of trade, then I feel that I have been success¬ ful at doing my job. The bad thing about teaching is when I have students successfully complete my program and then there are no jobs avail¬ able.” Roger Caudell “The most rewarding aspect of teaching is found in the ability to be able to assist in the development of a student’s self-concept, creativity, and knowledge. The least reward¬ ing aspect of teaching is that teachers cannot possibly be totally compensated for their time and efforts.” Deborah Demmy “The best thing is helping young people to grow.

Staff Communicate Million dollar men—Custodians Bill Saunders, C.I. Ward, Charles Moss, and Sam Alger pause from the tasks they perform which keep the school running. “What are the Rewards of Being a Custodian or Cafeteria Worker ... ?” They worked around the j dock. Their work often went innoticed and unappreciated. I They often received many nore complaints than compli- ( nents. But, they kept the ichool in good working order ind without them, everything 1 vould have come to an abrupt lalt. They were the custo- iians and the cafeteria work- ( rs; and like the rest of the ' acuity and staff, their jobs lad both high and low points. • The low points, of course, :ame in the form of com¬ plaints and criticism from stu¬ dents and faculty. Jokes about I :afeteria food abounded, and custodians were loudly criti¬ cized when light bulbs were not immediately replaced and restrooms became “paper¬ less.” High points came also when students raced to the commons on pizza days or when a faculty member com¬ plimented a custodian on a job promptly done. “What are the rewards of being a custo¬ dian or cafeteria worker . . . ?” “Very few, if any” Samuel Alger “The rewards of working as a custodian are not all fun and play. It’s like fighting a battle that never ends.” Frank Baldwin “We enjoy our work, especial¬ ly being with young people. We have met many fine people during our years here.” Ila Neese “I like working with people who appreciate me.” John W. Saunders, Jr. “I like working with young people most of all, and I just like working.” Marie Watson “As a maid. I’m not confined to one area. The job suits me.” Lucy Adams “Hello’s, smiles, thank you’s, and Christmas cards with the words, ‘Thank you for all you have done to give me my lunch tickets each week.’ Vivian Smith “I like the people I work with.” Pat Duncan “It is not what the school can do for the custodian; it is what the custodian can do for the school.” C.I.

Another one was whether to buy a Big Mac at McDonald’s or a thick and chewy Sicilian pan pizza at Pizza Hut. Or was it better to spend one’s allowance on a sweater at Sidney’s or the video games at Golden Galaxy? To help students make these deci¬ sions, stores advertised their products.

He introduces each “girl” and reads a brief fictional description of her life. Ice cube tree — Freezing temperatures plus precipitation do not always add up to snow, but may be added together to produce ice. As a result, a once tall tree bends due to the weight of ice. Unlike Any Year Before The school year was a mixed up display of emotions and events. It was a year of success and defeat for sports teams and politicians, joy and sadness at graduation, excitement and happiness of the mock wedding, and much trag¬ edy, as in numerous record low temperatures and winter storms. It was a year that stepped out from the crowd. Within the school there were many suc¬ cesses. Teams and individuals stepped out with a noticeable difference. In sports, the girls’ bas¬ ketball team won its first game in five years. The Varsity baseball team won the district title. The Varsity football team, supported by huge turn¬ outs of Cougar fans, tied for the RVD title with William Fleming High School. Individuals such as Donnie Tickle, Kenny Burnett, and Butch Childress excelled in sports. cont. A slice of the action — After their mock wedding, bride Regina Seitz cuts the wedding cake while groom Joe Blan¬ kenship supervises. The annual mock wedding is planned by the family living class. Games people play — Gigi Quesenberry and Gary Farm¬ er play backgammon in the locker banks during second lunch. Although food is not al¬ lowed in the locker banks, games are. Student Life 283 Year cont. Throughout the nation individuals and events stepped out from the back pages of the news¬ paper into the headlines. Virginia had its first test tube baby. The San Francisco 49’er’s ousted the Cincinnati Bengals 26-23 in Super Bowl XVI. Students watched as the space shut¬ tle Columbia, after a few false starts, made its second successful flight. Judge Sandra Day O’Conner became the first woman ever ap¬ pointed to the Supreme Court. Students experienced several different fads. The punk fad, the western fad, the Rubik’s Cube, the Rubik’s snake and even a locker crit¬ ter fad. The world experienced the Lady Di fad when dresses, hair cuts, and styles were copied from the new bride of Prince Charles of Great Britain. The pac-man fad came when students spent hours in front of the video game. cont. Cube craze — Junior Mike Glasgow works to solve the Rubik’s cube while his fellow classmates order class rings. The Rubik’s cube, a popular puzzle, has six sides with six colors. The object is to mix up the colors, and then solve the cube so that each side is a solid color. Super chef Pat — English teacher Mr. Patrick Irving cooks a meal in the home economics room for the English teachers. This meal was held last spring in honor of Mrs. Ann Armbrister’s retirement after 31 years of teaching Eng¬ lish. 284 Student Life Hot off the press — Alan East, Danny Spraker, and Fred Hardin operate the press in their printing class in the voca¬ tional building. Punk out — Skinny shades are worn by Chuck McKinster and Steve Trivisonno while Gil Pearman and Wendy Urqu- hart prefer leather. Jodi French finds the short skirt more appropriate as a punk rocker. Dark glasses are a must for all as these punks” shown while lounging before school on a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500. Open wide and sing ah — Members of the Concert Choir sing songs in the Little Theatre during the annual Christmas concert. The other choirs gave concerts at this time, too. The concert was open to the public. Student Life 285 Extra, extra, read all about it — American History and psychology teacher Mr. Tinker Hillman reads about the shooting of Anwar Sadat in the Roanoke Times and World News. His death made headlines across the world. Off we go — In November, the yearbook, newspaper, and literary magazine staffs travel to Charlottesville for a publi¬ cations workshop. Newspaper staff members Leslie Him- melman, Autti Hyde, Donna Akers, and Sherry Hedge hang on t o their luggage as they wait for the van. 286 Student Life Year cont. Other events, the tragedies, also stepped out. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassi¬ nated at a military review. Hollywood provided headlines with the deaths of William Holden, Paul Lynde, Natalie Wood, and Lee Strasberg. Five air force pilots crashed and died in the Ne¬ vada desert. Natural elements also contributed to various tragedies, as floods, tornadoes, and mud slides plagued America. Plane crashes, such as the one of a 737 into the 14th Street Bridge in Washington, D.C., also made the headlines. Step by step, the year drew to a close. The students, people, names, places, and events made the year one that stepped out from the crowd, unlike any year before. You are what you eat — in Ms. Keister’s biology class, students made yogurt and then held “Health Food Day” in which they ate yogurt and other health food. Tammy Wayne eats yogurt made by her group. Share, share alike — An ice-cream sandwich goes a long way for Greg Bolden and Trudy Steger. The two share a delightful dessert in the commons area during third lunch. Off the wall — Before the William Fleming football game, students and teachers post Cougar paws across the pod walls. These paw prints express pride and spirit for the football team.
