Here Tammy Crowder, Lora Turpin, Ken Warden, and Ronnie Burke look through a magazine during their lunch for a little rest from school work. r Getting to the Point “Oh get with it. Don’t you have the sense given to a goat? You look like a geek with those striped pants and plaid shirt! Can’t you ‘get into’ fashion?” “Your grades are so low they defy the laws of gravity. If you would quit throwing spitballs at the clock you might get something done! Can’t you ‘get into’ grades?” “Run that way! Now catch the ball. Catch, not drop! Okay, now run toward the goal. No, no, no! With the ball in your hands! Can’t you ‘get into’ this sport?” Getting into it. Not all students found it that hard. It was rather easy, once you tried. Doing your homework at least once a month was “getting into” classes. Going out for a sport even if you didn’t survive the first cut was “getting into” athletics. No one could say you We get excited — Jubilation is shown by the undefeated Cougar football team after they got into the game with Patrick Henry, The Cougars defeated the Patriots 10-7. Mmmmphhhh!

Getting into it was showing some semblance of Cougar Pride during a pep rally when everyone already knew the game was rained out. Getting into it was dancing with your little brother’s friend at a sockhop when you really wanted to be with that tall guy over there. It was all around you, surrounding you. It was the enthusiastic crowd at the Patrick Henry basketball game even though we were losing, and the quiet that fell over the Commons Area during SAT’s. It was the never-ending multitude of people changing classes and the endless lunch lines. It was the lone person working the concession stand or the frantic student taking a make-up test after school. It was the pandemonium that broke loose when the Cougars were declared ALL-RVD Football Champs, and the tears that ran down the cold cheeks of fans and players during the loss to G.W. Danville in the state AAA playoff; berths. It was the magic of prom and the hard-hit¬ ting realization of graduation. The “getting into it” came in many ways, some happy, some heart-rending, leaving many in tears, but most with smiles. It meant hours of practice, studying, and Cont’d 2 Prologue The Acrobatic Administrator — Mrs. Magella Myers gets into playing student when she is hoisted up onto the lock¬ ers.

Prologue 3 — Point (cont’d) reaping what you had sown. And planning what you would sow next. But, “getting into it” did not always mean success. What about that biology test you studied two hours for and still failed? And that girl that turned you down for a date ... six weeks in a row! Well it couldn’t be helped; of course you didn’t do anything wrong. At least you tried; oh, well, may be next time. Going all out, going for it, and getting into it. It all meant the same thing, and it wasn’t hard to produce results when you had Pulaski County cheering at you from the stands or your best friend giving you late-night telephone ad¬ vice. It was all a part of getting into it and making it happen. Gee, mine must be wrong — Noelle Tbrner and Sandy Morgan converse about the right answer as they get into classes. Coke in a Smurf glass.

LIFE Four very diverse classes; a total of ' • nearly 2,200 students in one school.! They existed in separate “orbits,” or locker banks as we called them. Each class had its own color coded locker bank to which everyone flocked be-l tween classes. Each group had its own way of doing things and enjoying them¬ selves whether they were in school or out on vacation. Yet they were united in the events of| their daily lives in school, events which never really came close to beingj “routine” in nature. The students at PCHS really got involved in life,, whether it was in sports, working after school, helping other people or just plain having fun in the sun or snow. Inside and out, during school and on vacation, students lived their lives the way they wanted to. Student life hap¬ pened in the halls, at home, in the parking lot, and at the movies. No mat ter where the students were, some¬ thing was always happening. Some of | their favorite places to “hang out” | were Golden Galaxy, McDonald’s, The Cinema, or at home with their Atari . Video game. This was how the stu-r dents at PCHS were “getting into life!” : I Do Forever — Junior John Sexton and Senior Doris Walker take their vows during the mock wedding held on November 18th. The Family Living class at PCHS has a mock wedding every year and it includes the ceremony, preparation, and the reception afterwards. The Big Decision — Juniors have to make a big decision every year on what type ring they want. | Well, Kathy Robertson did have that hard choice as she tells Jenkins representative Bill [ Edmunds what type she wants. This is the one way the juniors really “got into student pride.” 6 Student Life Student Life 7 The Agony and The Ecstacy It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was November 5, 1982. This day was expected to be the biggest day of the whole school year. For seniors, it was considered to be as im¬ portant as senior week, their last homecoming, prom, or graduation. It was the tenth Friday of football season. It was the day when an undefeated Patrick Hen¬ ry High School would in¬ vade Courgar Country. In the days leading up to “Title Night” eountians pre¬ pared. Not only was this a big game for the team but for Cougar fans it was a “Su- perbowl.” Players worked until dark the first week of Standard time. Their only loss thus far was that of light that was precious to practice. The county was in ecstasy: the Cougar growl roared over store public an¬ nouncement systems, cou¬ gar paws flew on top the flag¬ poles instead of the Star Spangled Banner, homes and stores alike plastered their doors and windows with signs of good luck, and magnetic Cougar Paws tat¬ tooed cars. Friday finally came, and it was Cougar colors and hat day. Burgundy and gold was bliss. The public had been invited to the pep rally and along with them was the News 7 news truck. Nerves were on edge, as the gym echoed with yells for the cougars. A forty-five minute pep rally lasted an hour, de¬ laying lunches fifteen min¬ utes. During the pep rally, principals were honored by football players by being smacked in the face with Cougar pies. Seniors were victorious in the spirit stick competition as each class j elled a word successively from the phrase “Let’s beat P. H.” Students were drained by the end of the pep rally. But then tragedy struck. Stu¬ dents learned of the deaths of two members of the Class of ’83. Seniors Robert Hall and Danny Spraker had died as the result of taking drugs. Other students were hospitalized. Tears flowed and spirits fell from ecstasy to a deep sincere sympathy and along with the recent ty- lenol scare across the L T nit- ed States and this new scare, some students were frightened that they coidd have been involved and that they might be in some dan¬ ger. Rumors spread ram¬ pantly making situations worse, but by 3:05 the exact details were becoming known. Countians were worried, but the game went on. Fans who had lined up at the sta¬ dium gates at 12 o’clock stood in line until 5:30 for a scat. An estimated 12,000 fans attended, and not until the counting down of the last eight seconds was it clear that the Cougars were definitely number one in the RYD. Both the teams had come into the battle unde¬ feated, 9-0, but the Cougars came out with a perfect 10 and a state playoff berth. The stands went wild as (he final second turned to a shining zero on the clock, and the buzzer sounded the Cougar victory. The field was flooded by Cougar fans and the speakers blared with the chorus of the song “Celebration.” Once again tears flowed both by the winners and losers. Parents, students, everyone was a part of this winning team. As field goal kicker Chris Kinzer put it, “We played great defense, and the of¬ fense had a great drive when we had to have it. Then, we’ve got our twelfth man in the stands. The crowd was super, we love ’em.” But everyone was drained; they had con¬ quered one battle but still had further to go. Not only were state finals ahead, but the Cougars who had always been known in the Roanoke Valley District as “pig farm¬ ers” and “hicks”, had lived these accusations down. Al¬ though these accusations had been overcome, there was now a new battle to prove that the school wasn’t one of dope and drugs. Final¬ ly we had gotten our cover¬ age from the media but to go along with it the Roanoke Times headline read, “Fatal Consumption: Carefree ‘cheap high’ turns deadly” about the deaths. The mis¬ takes of a few may make us look bad, but “Cougar Pride’ still stands and will go on undisputed.

That was the schedule for many high school students. Even though it was tough during the week, when the weekend came and you had received your paycheck, it was all worth the pain and agony. Some people had it luck} ' . They’re the people who knew ahead of time what their working sched¬ ule would be. One of the “lucky ones” senior Jodi French at Cable Vision al- w ays worked Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For her it wasn’t too hard to make plans around her job. But there are some people who do not have it so lucky. Many people do not know their working schedule until Monday afternoon. Senior David Slomka at McDon¬ alds, or Senior David Branch at Food Town can not make plans as easily. That’s especially rough dur¬ ing football season or when special dances are coming up. Working after school gets strenuous on school work and other school activities. When you’re working many things are sacrificed like football games, other sports, sock hops and “dat¬ ing”. But if you need the money, working is the way you get it. As the song says, “Ever- bodv’s working for the Weekend.” Work hard dur¬ ing the week, and “blow it” all on the weekend. J Jobs 11 Santa Claus and Semester Flaws It had always been diffi¬ cult to shop for Christmas and do schoolwork, but it was a feat beyond all human imagination to Christmas shop and have the semester end simultaneously. There was always something else due, whether it was a term paper, critical review, or a science project, not to men¬ tion semester exams. Ending the semester during Christ¬ mas was not easy, but it had to be done. The teachers and administrators county-wide wanted to end the old semes¬ ter before the vacation so the students could ring in a new semester as they rang in a new year. In other words, it was hard on everybody to come back to school after a long rest and try to work. The semester had already been cut short several days when tragedy struck — one snow day. Snowbound stu¬ dents and teachers shoveled walks and chipped ice off their cars. Term paper au¬ thors received an extra work day, but most people re¬ laxed. Aside from the trauma of semester spaz-outs, stu¬ dents enjoyed the Christmas spirit promoted by the school. Teachers decorated doors and hung tinsel and Christmas balls from the pod clocks. The Social Stud¬ ies pod blinked with multi¬ colored lights, and the Sci¬ ence pod had green and red striped candy-canes for pil¬ lars. The Chemistry room displayed a real tree deco¬ rated with molecule models. Students played an active part in the beautification of the school through the Yule- tide spirit. Classes decorat¬ ed their respective show¬ cases in the Commons Area, and aided teachers as they dressed up their doors. Festivities occurred in and out of school. The annu¬ al Christmas Parade took place in the community and featured several school re¬ lated organizations. As al¬ ways, the Golden Cougar Marching Band delighted the crowd with their music. The Senior Christmas Party was held December eigh¬ teenth, and a good portion of the class came out and cele¬ brated. The few students who sur¬ vived the semester ending December twenty-first left school amid snow flurries and best wishes. They were transported home, where they went into hibernation until January fifth. Even se¬ mester flaws couldn’t stop Santa Claus.

There was forever a difference, no matter how small, in the daily routine. Whether the change was in the morning announcements or the seniors’ bathrooms, it was always there. Inevita¬ ble. There were visitors in the school every day, some stranger than others. Few students can forget the day the dog came to school. An Irish Setter came to see the football players practice, and liked them so much he decided to meet the rest of the student body. He came to lunch through the smoking area the next day, and went straight to Mark Hawley. Obviously, Mark spoke the dog’s lan¬ guage as he gave him a tiny tidbit of food. Mark had a friend for life until the dog went to Saturday night’s Life sock-hop and decided he liked Mrs. Myers better. That’s not all the animals that took up residence at the school. Once, it was overrun by toads. The Toad- Sucker craze had taken over. Made popular by D. J. Bill Jordan on K-92, the song soon breeded T-shirts and toad-suckin’ posters for Homecoming. continued Hello my Baby — Laura Greer and Kim Cline snuggle up between classes with their baby dolls on Stuffed Animal Day. H 14 Student Life Everyday 15 1 Jay cont. Everyday schedules were always being disrupted. Snow days, club days, pep rally days, and please-let-us- out-of-school-early days were just a few. Pep rallys provided some much needed noise to over-worked stu¬ dents on Fridays. Club days got students out of classes, and also sent some people running to look for lost club cards. How many students know the experience of a clean locker? Not many. Few peo¬ ple found it easy to open a locker jammed with books and coats, have it fall out in the locker bank, stuff it back in, and get to class in five minutes. School days, dead-end days. Students moaned and groaned each morning at 8:55, but did not have to force a smile when they heard familiar words “Get off the grass!” On Strike? Not Quite!

V 16 Student Life r After the Party ' s Over, Senior Da¬ vid Jones attempts to undo the mess of clothes in the choir room after the show. It was all a part of “get¬ ting into it” for spring. Ev¬ erything was new, fresh, and bright as the lights that flooded the stage of the Lit¬ tle Theatre. From the mad scramble backstage, the models emerged, showing everything from short sets to wedding attire. The spring fashion show, “Sassy Sensations,” was a way for students, teachers, and the audience to get into spring fashion. Before a small crowd of fashion enthusiasts, the cur¬ tain opened and fashion merchandising teacher Miss Vicki Lawson began the show against a background of bright flowers. The pro- Just Hangln’ Around — Formal gowns wait patiently in the band- room to be modeled in the formal section of the Fashion show. The New Look cession of models made their track across the stage just like the most elaborate fashion show that Paris has to offer. However, these models were a bit different. Faculty members, along with student models, were selected by the fashion mer¬ chandising classes to be part of the grand event. Getting into the fashion show bu siness was no sim¬ ple task, of course. Before the models could parade across the stage and show their “sassy sensations,” a tremendous amount of plan¬ ning had been done. Besides selecting their models, fash¬ ion merchandising students also voted to use the theme of “Sassy Sensations” and the huge plants as their decorations. After securing models, the next logical task was to secure the fashions to be modeled. Local clothing businesses donated sample fashions, and those who agreed to display their wares allowed the models to try on clothes and select the fashions to be shown. Stu¬ dent model Barbie Clemson said, “We had some really nice clothes to model from the various fashion stores. We couldn’t have had a suc¬ cessful show without their help!” The models, both male and female, descended on the participating stores and chose fashions of nearly ev¬ ery description. Every spring look was represent¬ ed, from the “preppie” to the “not so preppie.” There was the elegance of formal evening attire and the infor¬ mality of the nautical look in shorts and tops. It was ex¬ citing for the participants and entertaining for the au¬ dience. Miss Vicki Lawson said, “This fashion show was by far the best and most successful we have done,” and junior Shelia Popp add¬ ed, “It was a lot of hard work, a challenging experi¬ ence, and I loved it!” Dressed up or dressed down, it was all a part of “getting into” spring fashions. 18 Fashion Show baiting is the Hardest Part — Mrs. ieborah Demmy waits to “strut er stuff’ in Sassy Sensations.

J Student Life 19 Keep It Alive Spring made one feel like dancing, but dancing for at least eleven hours? Thirty-four people did just that at the March of Dimes’ dance-a-thon held last spring in the Com¬ mons Area. It was sponsored by the Key Club; and although club member Tom Wallace said the turnout was “somewhat disappointing,” Si, 982 was col¬ lected for MDA, enough to pur¬ chase four wheelchairs and send two kids to MDA camp. The Marchof Dimes Walk-a- thon was far from a leisurely Sunday stroll. The 659 people participating put one foot in front of the other and trudged for eighteen kilometers! But the sore feet went for a good cause. $19,120 was pledged for the w alk, and Pulaski County was recognized as having pledged the most money in the Radford region. The Walk-a- thon was also a club sponsored event, this time by the FBLA. “Award-winning was the word for the spring one act play “The Brick and The Rose.” Di¬ rected by Mr. Quesenberry and Ms. Ballinger, the play won re- gionals. Ms. Ballinger ex¬ pressed her pleasure wdth the play by saying, “It was even more than I expected.” Mr. Quesenberrj ' agreed and added, “The cast was very conscien¬ tious and compatible.” YAM was not May spelled backwards or a new punk rock group. It was actually Youth Art Month. During this time, the art students held a student art show in the IMC for the first time in the school’s history, and put up a bulletin board of the Mona Lisa in the Commons Area. Later in the month, Mona received a pair of silver punk glasses. The students also re¬ leased approximately 250 bal¬ loons as a contest to see which traveled the longest distance. Diane Glasgow won when her balloon landed twenty miles south of Petersburg.

Rana Reigns s 1 On September 11, 1982, there were sixty-one young ladies who were all dressed up with one place to go. They were the contestants for the Miss Pulaski County High School Beauty Pag¬ eant. The organizations in the school chose a girl to repre¬ sent them, and all chipped in for the five dollars regis¬ tration fee. All the contes¬ tants had to do was turn in her name, height, and the money to SCA President Buddy Ratcliffe or Mrs. Ma- jella Myers. It sounded easy enough, so why worry? Why worry indeed! It was human nature to be nervous in front of a crowd of people; but long hot dresses and high heels did not help any. Backstage, contestant Suzan Edwards paced the floor and worried about her hair, makeup, and dre ss. Of all horrors to occur, the hem in Kaye Thompson’s dress blithely decided to unravel fifteen minutes before the pageant started. The theme for the pag¬ eant was “Pretty as a Pic¬ ture.” Each contestant in¬ deed looked picturesque as she was escorted up the ris¬ ers by Jeff Jones, Stan Rob¬ erts, or Sanford Jenkins. When asked if he had a memorable experience, Jeff Jones flashed a smile and said, “How many times does a guy get to escort that many good-looking girls in one night? It was great!” Along with being escorted, the girls were announced by em¬ cee Mr. Don Skeen and sere¬ naded by pianist David Jones. He played selections such as “Endless Love” for the ladies’ great entrance. Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived. The enve¬ lope was opened and amid smiles and tears sophomore Rana Whited was crowned Miss PCHS 1982 by Mr. Skeen. Standing close in at¬ tendance were first runner- up Kelly Bowers and second runner-up Kaye Thompson. The pageant was sponsored by SCA in order to raise funds for Homecoming and was a success that was en¬ joyed by participants and spectators alike that Sep¬ tember night.

Student Life 25 It’s no wonder that the theme of Homecoming 1982 was “Forget Me Not.” It was a very memorable week — and exciting, too. Every¬ thing, from the showcases to the Homecoming dance, proved to be most unforget¬ table. The memories all began with a hectic Monday as the classes and organizations di¬ ligently worked on their floats and showcases, not to mention the locker banks. The streamers that the sen¬ iors introduced to the school Unforgettable Week dazzled their way to a first place in the locker bank competition. The Freshmen received second with the So- phomors coming in third. Showcases were decorated with simplicity and some with dazzling complexity. “Forget Me Not” was used as a basis for all ideas. Freshmen won first place with their showcase featur¬ ing the forget me not flower, followed by the Juniors and Seniors. In the float compe¬ tition, originality was pre¬ sent as the Juniors came in first, with the Sophomores and Freshmen in second and third. All the classes and or¬ ganizations diligently worked to place well, and most felt it was worth the hard work. Not only were the decora¬ tions and displays full of Cougar pride, but students also showed their pride by dressing up on the designat¬ ed dress-up days. Beginning Tuesday, different styles and original fashions were worn by the student bodies. Tues¬ day, Western Day, cowboy hats, flannel shirts, cowboy boots, and bandannas were the scene for many devoted cowpokes. Wednesday, Fif¬ ties Day, guys and dolls dressed to impress their sweethearts. Gals wore their poodle skirts and sad¬ dle shoes, and guys greased up and dressed down with their blue jeans and T- shirts. Thursday was a rath¬ er dark scene for everyone full of Cougar pride. Sun¬ glasses, new waves and Fos¬ ter Grants, invaded the school with ties of all kinds.

All Work and No Pay — Seniors Jennifer Crockett, Paula Poff, Ellen Guthrie, Buddy Ratcliffe and Jeff Jones sacrifice class time to work on their showcase. Student Life 27 r Unforgettable - Friday, the peak of Home¬ coming week, was the day for originality. Blue jeans, crazy socks and lucky hats were seen on every devoted fan. An unforgettable week had come to an end, but it marked the beginning of a much anticipated weekend. At the game, fans were seen holding banners and shouting encouraging cheers to the players. This was no ordinary game; this was Homecoming. At half¬ time the score was zero to zero. No one really knew what the outcome would be. The mighty Cougars sur¬ prised fans with a touch¬ down during the third quar¬ ter. It was the beginning of a twenty-one to nothing win, the first time the Cougars have beaten the Colonels. The rest is history. Much excitement carried over into the following even¬ ing, but in a different way. Thoughts turned to a more romantic atmosphere of long dresses and flowers. The darkened gym created heartfelt feelings within the student body. An unforgettable week had come to a close. Unlike the flower that eventually dies, this “Forget Me Not” never died in the hearts and minds of those students and faculty who experienced it.

In May the sen¬ iors received their caps, gowns, and announcements and made final decisions on what college to attend. The month dragged on and the class of ’82 became restless. When the prom and senior picnic came around, there was sadness and joy, as friends started long good¬ byes. The day had come and after weeks of practice and getting ready, the 469 sen¬ iors began that long walk to the gym. Although the weather threatened a down¬ pour and large, black clouds covered the sky above, the threat did not dampen the spirit of the graduates. The gym was packed to the brim and even over¬ flowed into the lobby and outside. On the inside there were a carpeted stage, plants, speakers, and hon¬ ored guests among more than 5,000 relatives, friends, and school officials. As the class marched in to the traditional tune “Pomp and Circumstance, ” they be¬ gan to remember instruc¬ tions such as, “Enter when the person in front of you has reached the tape,” and “Men off with the caps dur¬ ing invocation.” After the invocation given by Michelle Venable and speeches from class presi¬ dent Robyn Walker, saluta- torian Jean Guthrie, and valedictorian Lori Aider- man, the awarding of the di¬ plomas began. It took nearly an hour for assistant superintendent Ed¬ ward Crews to hand out the diplomas. The job was usu¬ ally performed by superin¬ tendent Kenneth Dobson who was sidelined by sur¬ gery in early June and missed his first graduation since 1965. At the end of the ceremo¬ ny the class of ’82 roared and cheered as they heard the words, “You are now graduated from Pulaski County High School.” Check it Out — As Mike Glasgow looks on, Marjorie Lindsey checks for her scat in the graduation seat¬ ing chart as Mr. Jerry King, Mr. Mike Rolen and Mr. Dale Conrad as¬ sist.

Four letters that spelled different things to different people — “Going out with my friends and par¬ tying afterwards.” — Sean Wood; “Wining, dining, and dancing.” — Ellen Guthrie; “Spending a lot of money!” — Chris Kinzer; “Socializ¬ ing.” — Blenna Sparks. To the junior class it meant work. They made palm trees out of carpet rolls and the leaves out of coathangers and green pa¬ per. For the tables, they made crepe paper flowers that everyone at the dance wanted to take home. To help with the theme “Come Sail Away” a boat on an is¬ land was put right in the center of the gym. Mrs. Keis¬ ter, the class sponsor, said she liked “the working with the students, but hated the long hours.” She added that “Mrs. Myers was the biggest aid — she helped to orga¬ nize and did decorations.” When boredom set in on the long nights of decorating, the juniors would entertain themselves by painting on each other’s T-shirts and shorts. However, painted clothes were a far cry from the tuxedos and formal dresses that presented themselves the magical night of May the eighth. As each couple walked Making Music — The lead singer of “The Royal Kings” from Roanoke sings one of their many songs during prom. Many students commented on how well they performed. Rembrandt at Work — Junior Bud¬ dy Ratcliffe attempts his hand at art on Julie Rimmer’s T-shirt and Mike Scott looks on while they decorate for the prom. through the doors surround¬ ed by fountains, many differ¬ ent opinions were heard, as some people said, “It’s beau¬ tiful!” Others said, “Ill re¬ member this forever!” A few even thought, “I’m in Tahi¬ ti!” The dance was not just for dancing. Though the peo¬ ple liked the band, “The Royal Kings,’’some decided just to sit. There were plenty of chairs, but one could al¬ ways see the girls sitting in the comfort of their dates’ laps. For those who pre¬ ferred eating over dancing or relaxing, refreshments were served in the gym lob¬ by. After the dance, the fun was not over. Many people had “prom parties,” where they and their friends could j change clothes, eat some more, and recap the dance. The next week was the re- j covery. Neglected home- 1 work was dragged out of the j lockers of the juniors who I had spent two weeks work- 1 ing on decorations in the : gym. Teacher chaperones ( came to school on Monday vowing to never, never at¬ tend another prom but se¬ cretly knowing they had en¬ joyed it all. Tuxedos were , sent back, dresses were ' cleaned, and the gym be¬ came ordinary again. 32 Prom ’82 r vas the Day Before Prom, and all [Lhrough the school, teachers were busy and so are these.

There was al¬ ways something to do — swimming, softball, trips to the beach, or just soaking up the sun in the backyard. Then, the cold winter months arrived, and stu¬ dents found themselves without the busy days that filled a summer. When stu¬ dents were not cheering at one of the basketball games or dancing at one of the sock hops, they had a variety of things to do and places to go. With cold weather, movie¬ goers multiplied, as stu¬ Ready, set, go ... — Woody Ayers prepares to knock the ball back to his opponent while playing foozball at the Golden Galaxy. Zap — Woody Ayers alertly plays Zaxxon while Ellen Guthrie waits her turn. V_ dents flocked to see love sto¬ ries in which everything turned out right, comedies where one-liners flew thick and fast, and horror films in which the creepiest night¬ mares came to life on the screen. With pockets full of change, many students by¬ passed the theaters and headed down to one of the several local game rooms to play their favorite video games. “Video disease” reached epidemic propor¬ tions during the months of inclement weather, and the real “addicts” were willing to endure sore wrists, blurred vision, and empty pockets just to take one last try at beating the odds. And, of course, every stu¬ dent needed instant energy for his outside activities. Lo¬ cal fast-food restaurants provided the fuel in the form of every type of “junk food” imaginable, from pizza to ice cream. Students could “pig out” on their favorites and plan their next weekend’s activities. 34 Student Life Fantasy World — Kevin Williams plays Fantasy at one of the local arcades as Steve Cook watches attentively.

What was i out? That’s what it was all i about. The biggest concern of the students wasn’t tests or homework but what to ; wear. From head to toe, stu¬ dents were decked out to the i max for every event. Wheth¬ er it was a spirit day at school, ball games, or dances, there were certain styles for the occasion. Some of the many new and coming styles were mini : skirts, while some of the ol¬ dies but goodies were jeans, t-shirts, and sweaters. Lead¬ ing the way toward the col¬ lege prep look were oxfords, wide-well corduroy, wool skirts, jackets, and sweat¬ ers. In the other direction was a clique, who called themselves the “Snowville Rednecks.” These people took the casual look to the extremes by uniting and coming up with a t-shirt of their own. Their wardrobes mainly consisted of jeans, boots, flannel shirts, and jackets made of leather or denim. Some of the leading fash¬ ions were those by design¬ ers, such as Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vander¬ bilt, and Etienne Aigner. While Izod was a leading name in the sportswear fashions, Polo and Jantzen weren’t far behind. Even tennis shoes were chosen by their favorite brand wheth¬ er it be Nike or Adidas. Frye and Dingo boots were the tops for feet, while a new style of boots with a flat heel made a dramatic debut. On any given day at school the student body could be found dressed in an array of styles from Sunday morn¬ ing’s best to Saturday night’s worst. “De feet” have it! Displaying a range of fashions for the toes are docksides, gum shoes, Mary Jane flats, dress shoes, 9-West flats, and boots. All Smiles — Mike Cayton, Susan Vaughn, and Timmy Shelton relax for a few minutes in between classes. They’re wearing oxfords, sweaters, and Izods.

Fads and Fashions 37 Communication: a teen¬ ager ’s way of letting himself go and “getting a load off of his mind.” The teenager’s way of communication today was made up of hundreds of different types of slang, jar¬ gon, and longo. Whether one got into the really “awe¬ some” language, like that of the valley girls, or “rapped” in other ways, it all came down to expressing oneself. Students “got down on it” with “funkadelic jam,” “cranked it up,” and “punked out” at sock hops. School dances were the grounds for “breaking it up,” “breaking down,” and “dropping the bomb.” “Jamming big time” was simply “keeping it live,” “getting off,” “letting it whip,” or merely “getting the beat.” When it came time for a “gruesome” duel in athlet¬ ics, fans were found yelling Passing Time — Pat Morris and Ju¬ lie Rimmer attempt their hands at communication by playing with a baby at a Boys’ Tennis match in ear¬ ly spring. Controversy “he’s bookin,” which meant one was running very fast. Fans let their rivals know they were “U G L Y,” or that we would “ride on them like a Kawasaki.” The basic team might be described as “flyin’ high,” “in the floor,” or “giving looks that’d kill.” Depending on the perfor¬ mance of one’s team, one might tell his opponent to “jump back,” “take with my mind.” They could come back with “your momma,” “hands off,” “get away,” or “be cool fool.” As for one’s team, one might tell them to “get with it,” to “go for it,” or to “keep it on,” to “jump on it,” to “wake up,” and to “get tough.” “Do me right” and “take off” were often used, too. When the time came to take off cruisin’, there were really bad cars with four in the floor or power machines that would burn rubber. If Mmm . . . Good! — Chris Akers con¬ fers animal style over a quick lunch with a friend. With a time of — Coaches Jenkins and Macmillan record track scores with Kelly Bowers. one should have had an at¬ tack of the “munchies” while “cruisin,’ ” he could stop at a nearby food place and pig out. After the fill up, it was on to the more serious picking up of the opposite sex; here guys and gals would be quick to say exact¬ ly what they thought, for ex¬ ample; “you are looking fine!” Other little names were “space cadet,” “spaz,” “stuck up,” “shut your face,” “you’re freaking my mind,” or “well just be that way.” Jargon consisted of “coming on,” “dippin’ skoal,” “growing up,” and “facing reality. ” As for tests, students either aced them or flagged ’em. Pee-pul, would be re¬ ferred to as “wasted,” “grossed out,” “stuck up,” “flying high,” or “lyin’ dogs. ” Students ranged from “dog faces” to “twerps” and “geeks.” They could be de¬ scribed as “barking,” “hanging loose,” or what¬ ev er “floated their boats.” The most popular lines were “for sure,” “grody to the max,” “the ultimate,” “gag me with a spoon,” “get serious,” “barf out,” “dulls¬ ville,” and “gimme a gun.” In addition, there was “freaking my mind,” “be that way,” or “do what?!?” “It’s a mystery to me,” “pouring you in your jeans,” “tacky,” “wild,” and “this is true.” Whatever may be going on one would be told “don’t worry ’bout it.” Instead of saying goodbye, one could “ambulate on over,” reply “well, I’ve gots to go,” “blow this place,” or “like later, man.” Slang was an everchang- ing world. As the communi¬ cation gap became wider, the teenage vocabulary be¬ came wilder. “Totally!” Another Kenny Rogers? — Track Coach Don Skeen announces scores and standings at a track meet. 38 Student Life Pilot to Co-pllot — Wayne Viers gets the game plan for the J.V. foot¬ ball team from spotters over the headphone.

They’re staring at you. But there was no holding the Cougar Spirit in. It exploded like an H- bomb and hung around as long as a bad habit. There was nothing bad about it; it fired up the football team to a 10-0 final season record. Spirit lurked around ev¬ ery corner and grabbed you when you least expected it. You might have been walk¬ ing down the hall minding your own business when whap! in a splash of bur- gandy and gold, a banner fell off the wall on your face. You could have been jarred from daydreaming by 2,200 yelling and screaming Cou¬ gars at a pep rally. Or it could have been the silent hush that fell over the crowd during the playing of the “The Star Spangled Ban¬ ner.” Cougar pride kept the locker banks decorated for Homecoming. It shone from Cougar lapel buttons. It was cheering teenagers in pep sections and teachers giving Fridays off for “good behav¬ ior.” It could have been as important as winning the spirit stick, or as insignifi¬ cant as picking up a Coke can off the campus and throwing it in the trash. Cougar pride prevailed in the actions of each student, teacher, and administrator. Each did his or her own part. In the gym, on the field, or in the classroom, it was mirrored in their eyes and their attitudes. Go, Fight, Win! During one of many pep rallies the “Junior Bunch’’gets their team psyched up! Spirit 41 Stand by Your Cougars Getting into the spirit of football went far beyond the stadium. Football spirit in¬ vaded every corner of the county and it was illustrated in many ingenius ways.

Other enterprises bought newspaper space and air time on local radio stations to let the county know that they supported the team, cheerleaders, and band. But, what about individ¬ uals? How did they show spirit? Many people “got into it” by showing up at 2:30 for an 8:00 game. Others left from work on Friday afternoon, grabbed a bite to eat, and drove long distances for a Friday night game. Fans filled the stands and never wavered in their support. It was all a part of a school and community “get¬ ting into it” and supporting a winning team. 42 Student Life Not the Pyramids of Egypt — But close, the sassy eight of Cloyd’s Mountain truckstop attempt to build a pyramid during the G.

A Lost in a crowd, Robbie Quesen- berry and Heather Lockwood share a dance and spend some time to¬ gether at the last sock hop of the year. Celebrating Good Times Celebration was one word all Cougars knew. After the Courgar victories, the stu¬ dents crowded into the gym to dance the night away, or at least until 12:00 p. m . . . . The gym was big, the mu¬ sic was loud, and the stu¬ dents were many. Everyone liked to show their Cougar pride, and one way was com¬ ing to the sock-hops. The sock-hops were not just a place to strut your stuff. They provided money for the clubs and organiza¬ tions that sponsored them. Thumbs up! — Miss Ritter cele¬ brates the Cougar victory by giving them an okay. The cost to get in was 82.00 and a student I. D. was re¬ quired. All guest had to be signed up in the main office before 3:30 p. m. on Friday afternoons, and many times there was a line of forgetful students at 3:29 p. m. signing up their friends. This football season all students had something to celebrate. Whether it was a new date, a new job, the 10-0 football season, or just the fact that school was out for two days, the party was on! Sock Hops 45 GRADES Five days a week, six hours a day, students and teachers combined ef¬ forts to enrich educations and careers. Students realized that an education was nearly mandatory in today’s world, and teachers played an impor¬ tant role in this education. The academic life was founded upon the efforts to make grades. Whether their goal be a 4.0 average or just to pass, students recognized this as an im-i portant part of their lives. Efforts to pass were found within many classes, such as calculus, busi-j ness, typing, cosmetology, and manjfl others. Students “got into” physics projects, foreign language cultural experiences, and massive chemistry explosions. Each day in the classroom brought new experiences for students. At times students needed extra aid for class assignments. Auxiliary sources of help, such as the IMC, bene¬ fited students in their goal for grades. Term papers and reports were time- consumers and lengthy assignments that put strains on students to make grades.

Although they weren’t black and white striped, they were required. Which class met this description? The only class which required you to strip off your clothes in front of approxi¬ mately 30 people, jerk on your pink and burgundy uniforms, and be doomed to 50 minutes of hard labor. But Physical Education, more com¬ monly known as P.E., was more than putting on a uniform. It was aerobic dancing, calisthenics, golf, tennis, archery, gymnastics, and a variety of team sports. Many students enjoyed a breath of fresh air, as opposed to being stuffed into a classroom all day. It was nice to “let loose” and “unwind,” with a friendly game of volleyball or base¬ ball. Another part of P.E. was health. Ev¬ ery other week students were confined to classrooms and studied first aid, nu¬ trition, and mental health. Although j health was enjoyed less by the stu- j dents, it was interesting. After health week, one feared he 1 might be a psychotic schizophrenic in the first stages of scurvy and beriberi. But the new week arrived along with common sense, and fears disappeared. Students were paroled on good behav- j ior, and went back to putting on their 1 clothes and serving time in a more re¬ laxed atmosphere. For the most part P.E. was an enjoy¬ able class with many different activi¬ ties, but in some ways it was just like prison. 48 Academics mama 1 1 m I | Take A Break — The 6th period 9th grade Phys.

Physical Education 49 Making Marching Music They came from the “fun” classes. There were lots of them and some¬ times they were really loud. During football season, especially, they spent a lot of time away from home. They traveled in big yellow buses, packed in like sardines, and spent long hours on the road. They were the members of the marching band. Marching band members were drawn, of course, from the band classes. They were the source of the music that provided the “spark” at pep rallies and sporting events. They were also a group of highly skilled mu¬ sicians who constantly trained to im¬ prove themselves. Band was a big part of their lives, and nearly all of them had things to say about being a part of the Golden Cou¬ gar Marching Band: How important do you think band is? “It’s pretty important. Can you imag¬ ine a football game or a pep rally with¬ out a band?” Meg Stanley “To me, band is one of the most im¬ portant organizations in the school. Music has been good to me — I love it!” Steve Taylor When you hear the name Bill Propst (band director), what comes to mind? “He is like a father to all of us. ” Rita Alexander “Someone who really cares about | other people.” Amy Overton Describe band camp. “It was five days of physical and mental challenges, sweat, and fun.” Steve Taylor “Wild, fun, and very serious.” Wayne Seagle It was fun, hard work, and long hours of practice ...

Cougar Band - Good Sounds Abound One side of the Cougar band was marching, along with the concert and symphonic bands, but there was an¬ other side. On this other side one would have seen the small extracurri¬ cular things that other band students enjoyed doing. One of these was the participation in All-Regional Band tryouts. On Saturday, December 11th, many students from the Cougar band tried out for All-Regional Band at Patrick Henry High School in Glade Spring, Virginia. Upon arriving, the students registered and began the nerve-rack¬ ing wait. Until their audition number was called, they spent their time in the cafeteria eating junk food, playing bas¬ ketball in the gym, or walking along the railroad tracks to Emory and Hen¬ ry College. As the all important number was ap¬ proaching, instruments appeared and warm-ups began. They played through their etudes and fingered their scales praying they were right. Finally their number was called. Wayne Seagle re¬ called, “Since I had never auditioned before I felt that I had entered another world. It seemed to make me have feel¬ ings I never had before. I was a little scared but I thought I would do well.” After the tryouts came another wait — waiting for the posting of the names of those who made the All-Regional Bands. As it had always been, some made it and some did not. Lynn Dean stated her philosophy of being suc¬ cessful or failing, “If you make it — All Regionals — you’re very, very happy and if you don’t, you feel sad but you realize there’s another year to work and try even harder for.” After this ; kind of grueling day — even if all went well — one understood why All-Re¬ gional Band tryouts were held once a year! Another dimension of the band pro¬ gram was the Pep Band. Organized by the students, this band performed for all home basketball games. Since this was the first year for the Pep Band, one i wondered at the beginning if it would be successful. Stated Steve Taylor, “ ‘A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,’ and the same goes for this band — if all the members are dedicated, it’ll work!” A different outlook of the band came from Renee Crist who said, “It’s a chance to lay back . . . music without the discipline of marching or the skill of a concert setting. And it’s fun!” 52 Academics We got spirit, yes we do!

Band 53 Take From The Top Most people could travel the Virgin¬ ia expanse by use of engine power, but the school choirs traveled by use of voice power. From the beginning of the year to the end, the choirs were occu¬ pied with public performances. From Christmas concerts to local musicals, the choirs entertained many with their altos, sopranos, tenors, and basses. At the Christmas concert, each choir per¬ formed a selection of traditional and modern Christmas songs. There was a special surprise appearance by Frosty the Snowman which seemed to warm the hearts of young and old alike. There were three choirs from which to choose to belong. Two non-select choirs, Mixed and Girls’, for anyone who liked to sing; and one select choir, the concert choir, requiring one to try out. The concert choir served the com¬ munity through the year by giving many different types of concerts. Some Male Melodies — 1 he male section of the concert choir uses t heir baritone voices to drown out the sopranos and altos. Say Ah-hhh! Drew Szerokman and David Cox perform Christmas carols for the students in the English pod. were at Jefferson Elementary School, the Tyler Inn in Radford, and in the Cougar Den. These concerts were giv¬ en in order to raise money so the con¬ cert choir could travel to Busch Gar¬ dens. Nevertheless, the trip was not all for fun, the choir represented the school in the National Choir competi¬ tion. The choirs had the backing of many voices, some of which gained the re¬ spect of their fellow singers by making the All-Regional Choirs. In order to make all-regionals, choir members had to audition before a panel of judges at Lebanon High School. Spring finally crept into the area, and with it came a selection of new mu¬ sic for the choirs to learn. This music was for the Spring Concert. With this final concert, the choirs’ busy year came to close, and thus began the choirs’ well-earned summer vacation. 54 Academics The Go-Go’s — not quite . . . While only practic¬ ing for the upcoming concert, Tonia Jenkins, Terri Alderman, and Cheryl Mabry run a close second. Choir 55 Deeper Than Dirt Agriculture (ag ri-kul cher) n. the science, art and business of cultivating the soil . . . Agriculture on the surface may have been a plain and simple course, but to those involved it went deeper than dirt. Areas such as agri¬ culture mechanics, outdoor recreation and others played a vital role in the class. After teaching five years at PCHS, Mr. Mike Cox commented that his spe¬ cialty area is natural resources. Other areas taught in agriculture are intro¬ ductory ag. When asked what inspired him to teach Ag., Mike Cox comment¬ ed, “When I was in high school I had some very good Agriculture instruc¬ tors.” He also worked as the Dublin Young Farmers advisor. A combination of factors brought in¬ structor Mr. Karl Poison to PCHS. “I had a desire to remain in Southwest Virginia,” he commented,” and I like working with young people.” His ex¬ tensive background in Agriculture made him well qualified to teach. He began as a 4-Her and raised poultry, sheep, and rabbits. “I majored in Ani¬ mal Science in college and also worked in wildlife management, horticulture, and dairy farming during college.” Finding an Ag. student working with mechanics, and not necessarily the soil management area of the class, was not an uncommon sight. In their agricul¬ tural mechanics class, they worked with small engines. Welding and work¬ ing with machinery increased the boundaries of the simple Agriculture class. From mechanics to soil manage¬ ment, the Agriculture class developed the talents of the participants. They learned the skills in the course and re¬ alized Agriculture went deeper than dirt.

What was a person to do? To panic, cry or just give up was not the answer. Any¬ one with such a problem could find a quick remedy in the vocational build¬ ing. From the outside, the vocational building did not really look so spectac¬ ular. It was just mortar and brick, with lots of doors and a few windows. But, on the inside, it was a building of all trades. It was the place where stu¬ dents could learn skills including drafting, construction, electronics, cos¬ metology, and auto body and mechan¬ ics. They were all classes designed to teach a specific skill and develop a particular talent. Unlike the typical math or social studies class of fifty minutes duration, most of the vocation¬ al trades classes were two to three hours in length, with a few breaks to “stretch the legs.” Although housed in the same build¬ ing, the trades classes were by no means the same in nature. Auto Body and Auto Mechanics taught future me¬ chanics and others who were just in¬ terested in cars. In order to receive some practical experience, class mem¬ bers worked on “sick” vehicles of stu¬ dents, faculty, and staff. For a small fee, the students of Bill McNeely and Roger Caudell could heal the sickest of vehicles. Auto Body teacher Caudell said, “Our prices were one-half to two- thirds cheaper than what it would cost in a commercial shop.” Building trades was a two-year class designed to teach job entry skills in house construction. Over a two-year period, they covered such subjects as Mr. Goodwrench — Daniel Wright really con¬ centrates on fixing a car in Auto Mechanics. Hammer Handyman — Jim Miller hammers steadily in Building Trades. Trades, cont’d masonry, concrete work, carpentry, blue-print reading, and job estimating. Teacher Jerry Jones said his class “en¬ abled the students to be better pre¬ pared to obtain jobs in the construction field.” And, if a student wanted to plan houses rather than build them, there was Drafting class. In a two hour class, pencils were taken in hand and the houses of tomorrow were created on paper. Teacher Lloyd Davis said, “My class worked hard and learned the many levels of drafting and archite c¬ ture. Through the three-vear course, students became prepared as young professionals in the field of drafting.” Cosmetology was also included in the wide range of vocational classes. The class offered the same services as any real “beauty parlor,” including hair cuts, permanents, manicures, and facials. Mrs. Martha Bassett’s students offered their services to students, school personnel, and the general pub¬ lic. In Service Occupations, taught by Mrs. Dorothy Gooch, students devel¬ oped skills in commercial cooking and serving. Industrial Maintenance and Printing were on different ends of the job spectrum, but were alike in their own ways. They both worked with heavy machinery, but Printing made tickets and note pads while Industrial Maintenance made different types of tools and equipment. Electricity and Electronics classes kept things well lit by providing in¬ struction in wiring and electronic re¬ pair jobs. Trades classes provided students with survival skills necessary for life. “Getting into” trades helped many stu¬ dents “get into” the future. Testing one, two . . .

Trades 61 Changing For The Better A large percentage of the student body was enrolled in business educa¬ tion courses on the ninth through twelfth grade levels. Approximately 690 students have participated in busi¬ ness classes this year. These classes have prepared students for one or two- hour blocks on the eleventh and twelfth grade levels — Clerical Ac¬ counting, Clerk Typist, and Stenogra¬ phy. Students are given an opportunity to build employability skills in these areas for the purpose of seeking an of¬ fice position after graduation or con¬ tinuing their education at a two or four- year college. Also on the senior level, students have been given an opportun- tiy to take semester classes in Business Law, Survey of Data Processing, or Per¬ sonal Typewriting. Ninth graders found Business Explo¬ ration, a semester class, very worth¬ while — students have been given an opportunity to explore all business ca¬ reers and complete a self evaluation. Information obtained about various oc¬ cupations and self is used in the deci¬ sion-making process as it relates to choosing careers. Cooperative Office Education (COE) was an integral part of the business education program of instruction. COE was the supervised, on-the-job instruc¬ tional phase of senior blocks. Students receive practical office training for a variety of office tasks and an addition¬ al credit toward graduation. The Business Department, consist¬ ing of eight teachers and chaired by Mrs. Brenda S. Hylton, was excited about the revisions in the business cur¬ riculum for 1983-84. Mr. John Johnson was added to the business department for 1982-83 because of increased en¬ rollment in the department. The staff felt that the new curriculum, which will consist of one-hour classes except for the two-hour Accounting Data Pro¬ cessing Block, will give students more flexibility in scheduling. One-hour classes consist of the following courses on the eleventh and twelfth grade lev¬ els: Office Technology I and II, Princi¬ ples of Accounting, Computer Applica¬ tions, Shorthand, and Word Process¬ ing. Semester classes for eleventh and twelfth graders include: Business Eco¬ nomics, Business Law, Personal Type¬ writing, and Computer Concepts. Tenth graders are encouraged to take Typewriting and Introduction to Busi¬ ness. For the first time next year, Com¬ puter Concepts offered on a semester basis, will be available for tenth grad¬ ers. As a result of curriculum changes, data processing and word processing equipment will be added to the business department to give students additional hands-on-experience with technological equipment; a necessary stride toward keeping up with changing times.

Sauces and Saws For newcomers to PCHS, the distin¬ guishing differences were the round school, the “pods”, and the vocational building. The new students also found different the year-long industrial arts and home economics classes. They | were a big change from the semester routine at the middle schools. Distinguishing between a needle and thread was only the beginning of home ec. Students that took the class learned the fundamentals of sewing, such as how to set up a sewing ma¬ chine, the “how to’s” of making clothes, and anything and everything dealing with sewing. Baking a good home-cooked meal “like Mom used to make” was another home ec. instruction. The ever-popu- lar Cougar Den received some of its meals from home ec. classes. For students planning to enter the field of constructive work, industrial arts was a necessary step in that direc¬ tion. It taught the basics of drafting and carpentry. Most students felt it aid¬ ed in their knowledge of machinery and experience in the field. Before the students in industrial arts could begin to work on projects, they had to pass a test proving their skills. Designing miniature houses and build¬ ing mirrors and frames were just a few of the projects students worked on. Whether it was in the home or shop, students’ careers were founded upon the knowledge and skills they devel¬ oped in home ec. and industrial arts. Home Ec. World of Communications 65 Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise Health occupations classes were for the breed of humans who weren’t squeamish and who cared for the hu¬ man race in general. The health ex¬ ploratory classes were geared toward helping the students become familiar with many of the various health relat¬ ed careers. The students were involved in many “hands-on” projects that were part of the daily activities of the health care delivery system. The practical nursing program pre¬ pared students to enter nursing school either at the licensed practical nursing level or the registered professional nursing level. Most of the senior students went into nursing. Some went into medical labo¬ ratory work, x-ray therapy, and phys¬ ical therapy. The distibutive education classes gave students an opportunity to learn in two quite different settings. Stu¬ dents involved in D.E. attended classes each day and then went to work. Stu¬ dents often made huge sacrifices in their private lives in order to partici¬ pate in this program. If one had planned a date for Saturday night but the boss called and needed you at work, guess what was postponed or cancelled? Most D.E. students felt like the expe¬ rience was worthwhile to them, espe¬ cially with jobs so scarce. Having the kind of work experience that these stu¬ dents possessed, generally insured them a secure future after graduation.

Distributive Ed. Practical Nursing 67 “That’s the way The social studies classes were de¬ signed to help the students in their un¬ derstanding of and the relationships of the “real” world outside Pulaski Comi¬ ty High School. The results were the same in each class, but they all went about it in their own different manners. The upcoming freshmen were given a choice of two different subjects, World History and World Geography. The sophomores had it easy with the social studies classes because the tenth graders were not requird to take a class as long as they had taken the subject as a freshman and passed. The juniors and seniors both had to take a class that was required to graduate. U.S. History and U.S. Government were the two classes that were only for the juniors and seniors. When asked how she felt about her U.S. Government class, Ellen Guthrie responded, “At times when you look around and see the uninterested faces, you feel sorry. Understanding govern¬ ment and learning basic civil rights is an absolute necessity of life. The time I’ve spent learning about government has benefited me greatly. This class, unlike many other courses, will go with me throughout life.” Some students decided to take on a foreign language such as Spanish, Ger¬ man, or French. These classes had the same purpose as the English classes. Reading, writing, listening, and talking were the activities found in these for¬ eign classes. The students who accept¬ ed the challenge of trying to learn a foreign language were put to work with verbs to conjugate, dialogues to recite, and vocabulary to learn. Second Thoughts? Nathan Lucas takes time from his World History class to go over some rules in the student handbook. When asked how he felt about his Spanish class, Greg Gooch said, “It takes a lot out of you, because you have to learn a whole new language from the very beginning. Yet after sev¬ eral years you begin to become more and more fluent and start to learn about their culture as well.” The foreign language classes were not all work. They had their fun. The big learning and enjoyment day was on “culture day,” when foods from the countries were fixed and eaten in class. Why did some take on a foreign lan- 1 guage? The classes gave a better un¬ derstanding of the different societies and cultures other than our own. It let the students know what was going on and how to manage if they chanced to visit this “foreign fantasy.” 68 Academics Dig In — Tammy Willis looks over the cheese fondue that was made on culture day in the History Horrors — Christa Davis works dili- French II class. gently on a test in her World History class.

Social Studies 69 Looks Are It looked like every other pod on the outside; but the second you walked in, you knew something was different. It was the atmosphere created by the people. Most teachers in the science pod agreed that their pod was unique, one of a kind. The science pod had an atmosphere of complete relaxation and a humor that was ever-present. Referring to one another as “coach,” even though they may not have been, was one example of their satire. Up in the teachers’station referred to on occasion as the “magic mushroom,” the science teachers of¬ ten turned the bulletin board into an array of puns on newspaper articles, useless paper work, and old posters. This added to the uniqueness of the science pod. The pod chairman, Jim Kelly, ex¬ pressed his feelings about the pod as being one of a kind. “Our pod is unique in that every course we offer is basical¬ ly elective, and students are able to pursue closer the courses which are of interest or value to them.” He also felt that the teachers are a “people-orient¬ ed” group who enjoy working with Deceiving each other and the students. The originality of the science pod is somewhat unusual compared to the other academic pods. Often, the teach¬ ers would celebrate birthdays with cake and coffee. On other occasions, they would have several types of appe¬ tizers to eat during planning periods and free moments. One of the strange and unusual things to occur during the year was when Mrs. Amy Fugate left her second period class alone for a moment, and on returning, found that they had disap¬ peared! Later, she discovered that they had been hiding in the storage room beside her class. When asked to name the strange and unusual things that had happened to her in the science pod, Mrs. Harriet Keister replied, “Are you kidding? I’m still waiting for something normal to happen over here! I love it.” Mrs. Keister summed up the whole pod by saying, “I suppose that the sci¬ ence pod has its own real cast of char¬ acters like any faculty. We were, for the most part, independent and cultural, but we tried to be fair.” Nothing But Hot Air — Wade Hutchins, James Blair, and Jeff Covey watch closely to record data on the distance and speed of a balloon in Mr. Duncan’s 4th period Physics class. “Planet Rock” — Carol Jones uses a chisel and a hammer to get beneath the surface and find the rock needed in an Earth Science study. 70 Academics Crystal Clear — For freshman Paula Slate, it is plain to see that her seed crystals are growing rapidly in a Biology experiment.

Icky Equations — Kelly Overman attempts to work dreaded equations on the green board. 1 - 2 ? Let a equal b. Multiply by a. Sub¬ tract b 2 and factor. Divide by a-b. Sub¬ stitute b for a and combine terms. Di¬ vide by b, your answer is 2 = 1. How can this be possible? Well, if you’re an algebra student you know this can’t be possible because when you divide by a- b, you’re dividing by zero. When a ninth grade student entered PCHS, he went into general math, ba¬ sic algebra, Algebra I, or Algebra II. A senior at PCHS was in trigonometry, ge¬ ometry, consumer math, math analy¬ sis, or calculus. In other words, the math curriculum included practical, everyday math, semi-academic basic courses, and college preparatory courses. A student at PCHS could get as little or as much math as his ability and ambitions dictated. There was also a new class in the pod. The expanded computer program consisted of only eighteen students who received instructions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and were left to fend for themselves the rest of the week. One student in the class was Brad Nest- er. Brad said, “I think the Computer class will teach us the skills we need to prepare us for the future because soon everyone will need these skills just to survive in a computer-oriented soci¬ ety.” The sixty-three math classes, taught by thirteen highly experienced teach¬ ers, were housed in very limited space. Two of the larger classrooms were di¬ vided into four smaller classrooms so that the math curriculum did not have to be curtailed. The technological and computer age required more math — not less as some rumors would indicate. Math 73 “Psst! Hey bud, want to buy a calen¬ dar?” “How much do ya want for it?” “Oh, about 83.50.” “Got change?” “Sure!” Smiling, Tom Deaderick made his first sale. The art students snowballed their talent and put to¬ gether a calendar to sell and make Sketchy People money for their trip to D.C. That was only one of the many pro¬ jects that the Art Department spon¬ sored or at least participated in. Dur¬ ing Youth Art Month, commonly called YAM in March, they planned to do an air sculpture. They worked with the Christmas craft sale and the school¬ wide door decorating contest. The classes sharpened their old skills and learned new ones by chang¬ ing teachers several times a year. They practiced with fibers, painting, sculp¬ ture, ceramics, and drawing in what was described as an attempt to intro¬ duce the students to as many different styles and art curriculum as possible. While in the classroom, teacher Mr. Charles Goolsby said there was “an open atmosphere in which the stu¬ dents were encouraged to freely dis¬ cuss each other’s work. There was an emphasis on students making their own decisions and being responsible, independent thinkers.” He also re¬ marked that even in this open atmo¬ sphere, there was a certain amount of discipline. “There were instances where students thought they didn’t need to seriously work. These students failed.” After finally completing a painting, student Sanford Jenkins viewed the finished project with satisfaction. “Since I suffered through it so much, I think I can be satisfied enough to say I’ve done it.” Ink Blot Test — Kim Harrell sketches an “in¬ kling” of a leaf during art class.

An Apple a Day What class was required all four years in high school? English class, that’s what. Every student took Eng¬ lish in the ninth grade along with sev¬ eral other required courses. As stu¬ dents went through the tenth, ele¬ venth, and twelfth grades, they still took English, but they had a choice of classes they wanted to take. Some of these choices were American Litera¬ ture, American Novel, Creative Writ¬ ing, and Play Production. In tenth through twelfth grades, students had more projects to do, such as term pa¬ pers and other writing and research papers. Along with writing assignments and such, students helped decorate the pod during the holiday season by draw¬ ing posters, working on bulletin boards, painting windows, and putting up the Christmas tree. One grou p was particularly rewarded for their hard work. Ms. Rebecca Dellinger’s door re¬ ceived the award for being the most original in the Christmas door decora¬ tion contest. In an age of computers, the English pod made an attempt to modernize its scheduling process with the help of an “apple.” Department chairman Mrs. Audrey Burnett and pod secretary Mrs. Betty Albano were the brave pio¬ neers who worked on the project along with program writer Mr. Kent Klooch. Many, many hours were spent feeding the scheduling information into the computer. When it came time to run the program, the results were anything but satisfactory. The computer “kicked out” about thirty names per period that did not fit in any English class. That would have never done. The final scheduling for second se¬ mester classes was done by human hand and brain as had been done in the past. The computer program? Well, they continued to work on getting the “bugs” out and hoped that in the next year the program would be a great time saver, not consumer. The English department had experienced its first encounter with a mechanical brain, having learned that even in an age of computers it was still nice to have a human brain on which to fall back. 76 Academics Being creative — Kim Cline, Sheri Weeks, Cathy Breedlove, Leslie Himmelman, and Kim John¬ ston faithfully work on their projects for Mrs. Cook’s Creative Writing class. Getting into the Christmas spirit — Jeff Sheets colors Mrs. Hillman’s door with Cougar paws. Busily working — Ricky Mabry does his English assignment in Mrs. Hillman’s class. Source Searching — Scottie Taylor investigates the magazine racks in search of another source for his term paper. English 77 PEOPLE “Pee-pul” a common word used to describe young and old alike, together as one in massive quantities but yet individually unique. Being themselves was what students did best, whether it was the class clown riding down the hall in a trash can or the class scholar studying Einstein’s theory of relativity. Doing your own thing was what stu¬ dents did best of all. Students helped to make school more bearable at times and a bit more chaotic at others. With an incredible number of fans from Ground the county and the school the football team was made RVD champs for the second year in a row. Not only was the football team successful but the volleyball team had a winning season for the first time in the school’s history, the girls’ basket- ball team marked up several wins, and the varsity wrestling team brought home the RVD first place trophy for the second time while the freshmen wrestling team went undefeated. Individuality is what gives a school its name. With the addition of the Cou¬ gar Pride awards, both individual and class competition, students spent their time “getting into it” by proclaimin: Cougar pride and cleaning up their school. ' l Hey, What’s This? Seniors Renee Crist and Sean Wood try to locate information on the microfish projector in the Guidance Office. This is one of the many things the Guidance Office offers to students so they can be what they want to be. This is one way the students at PCHS were “get¬ ting into being individuals.” Crowds of People — That’s what makes the world go round. PCHS was no different from any body else, except in one small thing. No mattei where teams were playing, students and commu nity members flocked to see the Cougars play. In the RVD area, if visitors’ bleachers were not big enough, Cougar fans overflowed into the home teams stands. This is how the people at PCHS were “getting into being themselves.” People 79 r Seniors realized that they had finally reached the end of their high school years. Freshman fear and confusion had been re¬ placed by assertiveness and self-confidence as seniors assumed the role of upperclass¬ men. The cycle would be repeated within a year as these students found themselves in unfamiliar work situations or as lowly fresh¬ men on college campuses. Some feared the new beginning and some looked upon it as an opportunity to broaden horizons and begin SENIORS a new career. Since the first day as freshmen, each new day meant being one step closer to becoming a senior; the top class, and the ones under¬ classmen looked upon with respect. Being a senior meant many things to many individ¬ uals. To some it meant managing a tough schedule and a part-time job at the same time.

If one had to choose a specific group of sen¬ iors that was responsi¬ ble for the organization of their class activities, one would undoubtedly choose the class offi¬ cers. From working on homecoming floats to organizing the Christ¬ mas party, the senior class officers certainly ficers couldn’t have done anything,” said Jeff Jones, class president. Not only did the officers work as a group, but along with the ever-boister- ous senior steering committee, they ar¬ ranged dates and places for senior activi¬ ties such as the Senior Social and the Christmas Dance. If one ever wondered who made the arrangements for these activities, it was these two groups that worked together. Taking on the responsibility of an offi- The Last Goals had their hands full. Even though they worked and planned ac¬ tivities for their class, they couldn’t have pulled them off with¬ out the help of Senior Sponsor Mr. Rod Reddy and twelfth grade prin¬ cipal Mr. Elmer Huff. Wherever a senior ac¬ tivity was taking place, they were present. “Without their organi¬ zation and help, the of- cer is an act that should have been com¬ mended. When asked why she chose to run for class reporter, Sherry Hedge re¬ plied, “I wanted to run for the office so I could be a part of the senior activities. I wanted to help out in any way possible.” Most seniors feel their last year should have been their best. Jeff Jones chose to run for class president “so I could help make our last year the most important.” Whether it be organizing a dance, a pageant, or building a float, the senior class officers worked well together to make each activity better than the one before.

But the world was revolving and seniors were informed. Whether it be through radio, newspaper or the addictive television, news from all over made its way into the lives of PCHS seniors. When asked about current events, seniors always had something to say. When asked about the 1982 NFL strike, most seniors felt it was a waste of time. They didn’t enjoy not seeing their favorite profes¬ sional team on television every weekend. Seniors joked around about the “extinct” Caught In Passing Monday Night Football. There was a greatly reduced number of sports gamblers because of the great lack of games on which to bet. A noticeable lack of “football talk” was pre¬ sent and seldom was heard “did you see that great touchdown Miami made in the last ten seconds of that game against New Eng¬ land?” Seniors had to find other t hings to talk about besides pro football. America’s greatest crisis was difficult to pin down for seniors. Some believed it was the threat of Nuclear War and relations with Russia. The death of Soviet President Brezhnev, and the takeover by Communist _ Party leader Yuri Andropov, put foreign re¬ lations between the USSR and the United States on shaky ground. Some seniors felt a build-up of MX missiles would have solved the problem; othersjust wanted to crawl un¬ der a very big rock. After four years of going to PCHS, seniors had plenty to say about how they would have changed the school if they could have. Most talk consisted of government tests, as¬ semblies and numerous other items of the day. Most seniors agreed that windows would highlight the school greatly and pre¬ vent claustrophobia among the students. Some seniors felt the ventilation system could have been improved. On any given day, no matter what time of the year, the school was either too hot or too cold. Most seniors found this to be a usual pet peeve. Small Talk — Seniors Ellen Guthrie and Gale Stout read The Cougar Prowler during their lunch block in the senior locker hank. Whatever the news was, seniors always had something to say about the situations of the world and its facts. Many of the seniors felt that the current events were too scary or too horrible to get involved in, yet they did care and went ahead and voiced their opinions. 84 People CLARENCE TERRY BYRD TERESA CHRISTIAN BYRD TAMARA SUE CALDWELL TERESA ANN CALFEE DARRELL HUBERT CARTER VICA 11-12.

Everything from the school song to “Ride Like the Wind” were led by the diapasonic duo and Mr. Bill Propst. Majors It really wasn’t as easy as it looked.

This “crisis ' ’ was known as “senioritis” or “senior burn- j out.” Finding a senior suffering from senior burnout wasn’t too hard. They usually found you. They were the people with “bug eyes” and an awkward, estranged, or “lost” look. They walked around like zombies as if they were a thousand miles away. Some common causes of “senioritis” were often disguised in the name of “classes.” There was no class that couldn’t be held responsible for burnout. Most seniors broke down after four years of walking in circles to get to their classes. Dead time was another major drawback that worsened the suffering. The anxiety of waiting to go to club meetings, the office, or even the restrooms was too much for stu¬ dents to handle. Without a doubt, sen¬ iors were the poorest stu¬ dents in the school. Ev¬ erything from graduation announcements to college board test fees brought seniors one step closer to broke. The nearer graduation A Spark Still Glows i i L. came, the more anxious seniors became to walk across the stage. Seniors realized they had reached the peak of senioritis. Soon the burn¬ out would be all over and high school would draw to a close, bringing the crisis of senioritis to an end. Fizzled Out — Suffering from a prime case of senior burnout, Amy Overton chats with a few classmates. : Seniors 91 ALLEN CRAIG HALL Tennis 10-12; 3rd Regional 11; Second Team All Dis¬ trict 11; Team Capt. 12; VICA 10-12.

As the time drew closer for seniors to bid adieu to their alma mater, they looked back to recall their experiences as seniors. Every¬ thing from the Christmas Party to the Se¬ nior Social to marching into pep rallies lived on in the minds of seniors. “What was your favorite experience as a senior . . . ?” “Fifth period calculus class.” Mike Fleenor Best of the Last “New Year’s Eve.” Chuck McKinster “Any and all scheduled and unscheduled breaks from school.” Gil Pearman “The Van Halen concert at Halloween.” Gary Lark “Attending the VTC in Richmond.” John Hylton “Marching season.” Robin Quesenberry Model Officer — Senior class sec.-treas., Stan Roberts, models prospective senior t-shirts. 92 People SPENCER HAROLD HASH BSU 10, 11.

BRENDA KAY REDD GARY LEE REDD f If one took a mass of people with similiar levels of intelligence and different levels of interest, put them all together for an entire month, one would have had an atmosphere much like that of Governor’s School. From June 20 through July 17, three Pulaski County students attended the event with oth¬ er students from across the state. Amy Over- ton attended Randolph Macon Woman’s Col¬ lege and found, “unlike high school atmo¬ sphere Governor’s School was for students with a broad span of intelligence. They each had their own particular talent and there was no limit to invention and creativity. Ideas Unlimited It’s no wonder students at Governor’s School were creative and inventive. Aca¬ demic interests and abilities played a major role in their acceptance. Once they were nominated, they had to write an essay to be judged. Along with the essay and their aca¬ demic achievements, community participa¬ tion was considered. After all of this they were finally chosen. Although most of a participant’s day was Satin’ Pretty — Governor’s School participants Kim Cline, Renee Crist, and Amy Overton gather on a cool, windy day to share their experiences. spent busily taking notes and attending classes, lei¬ sure was provided. There were dances and sock- hops every weekend. One of the groups even took a field trip to Washington, D. C. No matter what one’s interest was, it was worth “getting into.” 104 People STEVEN MARCUS REECE FFA 11, 12. WILLIAM DEAN REICHNER FFA 9-12. CHARLES LEE REPASS Outdoor Track 10-12; AIASA 10; Art 9.

Senior Spon¬ sor Rod Reedy sacrificed many long hours during the school day and beyond to give guidance and advice to the senior class and their activities. Faithfully, he was present at each and every steering committee and class officer meeting. Jeff Jones, a member of the steering com¬ mittee stated “Mr. Reedy organized us and really gave us support when we needed it the most.” Others agreed that Rod Reedy, along with Mr. Elmer Huff and Mr. Dale Con- Super Sponsor rad, made up the backbone of the senior class. Although last year was Mr. Reedy’s first experience with this kind of work, he dis¬ played a great talent of working with other people on a one to one basis. He stated that “One of the many advantages to my task was the opportunity to get to know many seniors outside of my classes, that I may not have known otherwise.” He had to give up his planning period and outside-of-school time to come to meetings. But that disadvantage stood alone, the advantages outnumbered it. In The Huddle — Coach Rod Reedy converses with the girls’ basketball team during a time-out.

Was it a state where only males were allowed to live? Was it a home for wayward young men? Or was it, as many people thought, a summer camp for a privi¬ leged few? Actually, it was none of those things. It was instead, a very well organized learning experience for outstanding rising male seniors throughout Virginia. Learning all about the activities of state government was the name of the game, al¬ though there were a few who thought the entire event was staged to see how long healthy young men could withstand very high temperatures with no air conditioning. Stateside Billy Meyers, Jay Sadler, John Hylton, and Buddy Ratcliffe were chosen as partici¬ pants in the prestigious summer event. As an American Legion-sponsored activity, the event was carefully planned and partici¬ pants were carefully scree ned by local Le¬ gion members. During their interviews, Meyers, Sadler, Hylton, and Ratcliffe so im¬ pressed the local judges that they received invitations to participate in boys’ state. The days of the event were very struc¬ tured, and participants were bombarded V___ with speakers and various other presenta¬ tions, all designed to explain the common¬ wealth’s governmental process. Charles Robb, Gerald Baliles, Marshall Coleman, and Dr. William Lavery were some of the state “heavies” who shared their various areas of expertise with the young men. Jay Sadler said, “It was great to learn about Virginia government and hear the speakers, as well as establishing a mock government of our own.” If he could, Sadler would like to “absorb more of the valuable knowledge there.” However, it was not all work. There was some leisure time available. John Hylton said, “My leisure time was spent with the band as we had a concert at the end of the Boys State participants are John Hylton, Jay Sadler, Billy Myers, and Buddy Ratcliffe. week and played at both the flag raisings and the lowerings.” Buddy Rat¬ cliffe chose the more tra¬ ditional means of rec¬ reation, adding that he participated in the “con¬ tests held between each model city in basketball, football, softball, etc.” In all, it was a new ex¬ perience.

Maybe it was the thought of graduating — or possibly being the senior class and feeling superior to everyone else. No one really knew why, but the class of ’83 was full of spirit. Football games, basketball games and particularly walking into pep rallies were places where the typical senior could have been found. Some anxious seniors were seen running to the commons five minutes before lunch, taking advantage of one of their many senior privileges. Untamed Animals Finding a spirited senior was not difficult. They stood out in a crowd. They were the ones with the bright senior t-shirts or the custom t-shirts with the bold ’83 on them. Many seniors felt that their privileges were being hindered. Under the suggestion of class officers, seniors voiced their opinion on wanting their “b-rooms” back. They felt the faculty bathrooms behind the senior locker banks should have been opened. The seniors felt responsible for retrieving their senior privilege; they put themselves be¬ hind their cougar spirit and gained their b- rooms.

It wasn’t an uncommon sight to see four par¬ ticular seniors in the Social Studies pod sec¬ ond period speaking in foreign tongues. In the entire student body, only four seniors continued with their foreign language classes through their fourth year. Kathi Gregory and Susie Brillheart, under the in¬ struction of Mr. John Freeman, took Ger¬ man four, while Ellen Guthrie and Carole Abbott, taught by Mr. David Parks, took Spanish four. “I’d planned to take four years of Spanish since I began in the ninth grade, and hope it benefits me in college.” said Ellen. Both Ellen and Carole main- 4 In Foreign IV tained A averages throughout Spanish, Car¬ ole remarked that “by taking four years of Spanish, I’ve increased my knowledge of the language greatly.” During the summer of ’82, Susie Brill- heart found that her German could really come in handy. The German students toured Europe and were able to broaden their knowledge of the European world while having fun at the same time. Susie comment¬ ed, “While sitting in a restaurant in Cologne, West Germany, we started talking to an el¬ derly woman and her husband. I didn’t real¬ ize I knew so much about the language, but I talked to them for nearly an hour.” Kathi expressed her sentiments by saying, “For the four years I’ve taken German, I’ve learned much about the culture and the lan¬ guage that I’ll always remember.” Along with several other Spanish stu¬ dents, Ellen and Carole made plans to tour Spain for a few weeks in June 1983. “We’ll be seeing Madrid and Barcelona and stay on the beaches of the Mediterranean a few days,’’the two commented.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox In memory of: Fuzzy Hall John McKinney Danny Spraker Scott Thompson — Members of the class of ’83 Seniors 113 I “Did you see ‘Magnum’ last night?” “No! What happened?” “He wrecked the Ferrari, accidentally shot Higgins, and changed his name to M- 16.” “You’re lying.” This sounded familiar to all juniors every Friday morning. Teachers often re¬ marked that they wished students spent as much time studying as they did “glued JUNIORS to the boob tube.” Not only were they kidnapped by T.V., but also by the radio and cinema. Radio waves were free, but movies emp¬ tied your wallet. Still, high prices or wild horses couldn’t drag them away from the box offices. Juniors liked most of the movies, but like everyone, they had their favorites. The class was polled to find out what they thought was on top in 1982-83.

Juniors Don’t Fly United Everyone was familiar with the infamous “Senior Burnout,” but not many peo¬ ple knew about “Junior Jet- lag.” “Junior Jet-lag” hap¬ pened two weeks before Ring Day and ended the day after prom. Five hundred thirteen Juniors exper¬ ienced this phenomena at some time during the year. When asked what caused the sudden “bizarre behav¬ ior,” several juniors told their sad story: “The big shock of an easy sophomore year changed into a junior year with chem¬ istry, trig, and the rest of that mess!” — Greg Gooch “My schedule was a lot more difficult and required a lot more homework.” — Susan Vaughan ‘‘There were so many more pressures upon us, with hard classes and grades, plus trying to have freetime shmushed into your schedule. It was one massive headache!” — Kim Long “Rings! Grades! Prom! Yearbook! Chemistry! One crisis after another! Is there life after your junior year? I felt like riding off Draper’s Mountain in my doodle¬ bug!” — Paige Game “Junior Jet-lag” occurred in many sizes, shapes, and forms. It could hit anywhere at anytime. Many a junior felt like seeing pink ele¬ phants and padded rooms in their dreams. For the very few who remained sane from the locator cards to the prom clean-up day, they re¬ ceived their just reward — senior year. V_ J Fredrick G. Doody, Jr. Barry W. Doyle Shirley J.

The junior class of¬ ficers pulled together, “got into” leadership, and helped their fellow class¬ mates “get into” Cougar Pride. Being a class composed of approximately 513 stu¬ dents, the juniors needed ca¬ pable and responsible lead¬ ers to represent them and plan class functions. Four very well qualified students were elected to lead them during the school year. They were: president, Sarah Pace; vice-president, Kim Jones; secretary, Sanford Jenkins; reporter, Paige Game. The responsibility of plan¬ ning the events that hap¬ pened throughout home¬ coming week, decorating the Christmas showcase, and helping distribute class rings fell on the officers’ shoulders. It was a large burden to bear. Committees ’84 were formed and people signed up to help decorate and offer their free time. Fi¬ nally, after much planning and with support from their fellow students, the officers were able to bring together a successful year. Hanging on — Sanford Jenkins, Sarah Pace, Kim Jones, and Paige Game test the safety of the Dr. Ed. tower stairs as part of their duties. Jonathan T. Fleenor Angela L. Flynn Lisa M. Foutz Larry E.

Twilight Zone Some felt as a “rooky as freshmen in a few of these classes. Kim Long remarked that “walking into the Chemistry Room was like walking into another world.” Trig, student Alan Frost remembered he “couldn’t even spell ‘trigo¬ nometry.’ I think I needed a tutor!” Not every junior was “lost in space” whil e changing classes. Some even managed to achieve perfect or near¬ perfect grades. Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, however, and some junors preferred to “slide with a C.” Losing your mind during a final exam or oral report was not uncommon. Fortu¬ nately, teachers understood that nerves played a large part in the seizures you were having on the floor. Through all the difficul¬ ties, juniors managed to sur¬ vive in the “Twilight Zone.” Nicatie J. Knode David L. Lambert Dennis R. Lambert Charleen A. Largen Barbara J. Lawson Carla D. Lawson Danny K.

To the junior class, suc¬ cess was mandatory, but not always easy to come by. The class had trials and triumphs. At Christ¬ mastime, the junior show¬ case never really got off the ground despite the at¬ tempts of class president Sarah Pace and the spon¬ sor Mrs. Harriet Keister. But, there was no love lost when juniors received their rings. Finally, upper¬ classmen reigned supreme. Juniors went for it in oth¬ er ways too. The annual class project — prom — went over very well with the theme “Love Makes The World Go ’Round.” Aca¬ demically, there was a three- way tie for first class rank¬ ing; Patrick Shelor, Sherry Shomaker, and Rob Neigh¬ bors. All had 4.0 averages. Going for it took time and effort, but juniors strove to be the best in what they did.

There was class comp eti¬ tion during pep rallies and the juniors took their oppor¬ tunity to “out scream” and “out yell” the seniors seated beside them on the bleach¬ ers. And during homecom¬ ing week, the juniors put on a dazzling display of spirit as they competed with their float, showcase, and locker bank decorations. Burgundy and gold shimmered every¬ where as the juniors showed everyone that they could “get into it” with the best of them. What did the class mem¬ bers themselves think of their junior spirit? Jill Barr said that junior spirit was “enthusiastic and encourag¬ ing,” and Paige Game add¬ ed, “It could have been better if more juniors had gotten involved, but, all around, we had a lot of spirit.” “Cougar Pride” and Cougar spirit prevailed. It was all a part of being a junior and getting into it in the best possible way. Let’s scream, let’s shout — Let’s turn this function out. Alive and well is the junior section during a pep rally.

Smith Juniors 125 r Of The Utmost Importance Five hundred juniors walked around school De¬ cember 17, 1982, with hands outstretched, palms down. It was C lass Ring Day, and in a flurry of checks and receipts, the junior class received their “marks of scholar¬ ship.” The time from ordering day to receiving day seemed like an eternity. A numbered few forgot about the rings, but most marked the days on their calendars. They scraped final payments together and looked ahead. Finally, the sun rose on De¬ cember seventeenth. Anxious juniors listened to announce¬ ments for instructions on pick¬ ing up their rings. “All stu¬ dents with last names A-H will pick up their rings at the book store during their lunch block. All students with last names I-Z please report to the Little Theatre ticket booth. Juniors are to eat lunch first and then pick up their rings. Getting It matches my eyes — Rob Neighbors, Sarah Pace, and Tammy Wayne try to narrow down their selections on order¬ ing day. their rings will not be an excuse for tardiness.” an¬ nounced Mr. Wilson over the P.A. Of course, at the begin¬ ning of each lunch block, the juniors ran to their re¬ spective stations. Upon receiving their rings, they flew through the halls show¬ ing off their new additions. And, no doubt, most of them were late to class. So, the saga ends. Rings sparkled on their fingers and they were finally some of the select few — the up¬ perclassmen. Deborah E. Smith Donald R.

At this stage in their lives they weren’t the youngest any more, but neither were they “top ba¬ nana.” Juniors and seniors looked down on sophomores as if they were still fresh¬ men. In the high school soci¬ ety, people are considered SOPHOMORES non-persons until they get their class-rings, and for sophomores this was still a year away. There was one good thing about being a sophomore though, they weren’t at the bottom of the totem pole anymore. Not being at the bottom any more seemed to help them get it together because they improved a lot in many things. One of the greatest achievements in the way of spirit was winning the spirit stick four times, after only winning it once the year before. They sponsored one sock hop during the football sea¬ son, which turned out to be a great success. Also during the homecoming week, they placed second in floats and third in locker banks competition. Johnna Snell, the class president, gave the follow¬ ing statement, “I think we’ve improved a lot over last year at pep rallies and other such functions. We were not as spirited as up¬ perclassmen, but we’re working on it.” Work, Work, and more work — Ar- raand Parah and Mark Anderson work industriously on their assign¬ ments in Electronics.

Super Sophomore Miss PCHS For the first time in the school’s history, a super sophomore won the presti¬ gious title of school beauty queen, or Miss PC.H.S. The lucky winner was Miss Rana Whited. When asked how V_ she felt when it was an¬ nounced that she had won, Rana said, “I was mostly surprised.” Receiving the title was not all fun and games. Rana competed against over 60 other contestants to earn the crown. Many preparations were made before the event. The competition was fierce and long. For Rana, all the long hours of preparation paid off. Rana said, “It’s an honor to be Miss P.C.H.S., but I’ve learned that win¬ ning a beauty pageant isn’t everything.” She does not plan to enter any more pageants. J 131 Sweet Sixteen Behind the wheel! What did it mean to be a sopho¬ more? the answer was that it meant finally being six¬ teen and being able to get that all important driver’s license. Most sophomores liked that idea, but did not like walking out to the tower in sub-zero weather, or getting out of the cars in the rain to straighten out automobile-mauled cones. When it was classroom week, students considered it all work and no play. After all the hard work and all the complaining came the ulti¬ mate triumph — going for the major test at the Divi¬ sion of Motor Vehicles. Then came the day when one had to force the parental units at gun point to the courthouse, and, of course, regretfully miss a half a day of school to talk to the judge.

Harmon Robert D. Harmon Paper Pain “Term papers are a real challenge to one’s patience and mental endurance.” Stephanie Bird Research, libraries, hours of writing, and endless typ¬ ing. This sounded familiar to almost all sophomores. They were the ingredients for producing a term paper. Sophomores were soon to discover that doing a term paper was an endless search. The search began with the need for a topic. For many this was a long and tedious task followed by the longer search for informa¬ tion. Sometimes, if he was lucky, a sophomore could have gotten quotes to aid in the writing of the paper. But most times, the extent of in¬ formation was limited to a few books, possibly micro¬ film and in some cases, ad- libbing. If finding the infor¬ mation wasn’t hard enough, keeping up with fifty-plus note cards and rough drafts was. For most of the students, it was the first time they had written so complexly. As many students rushed to get their term papers complet¬ ed before the deadline, pan¬ ic struck. More trips were made to the library every day. Notes were scribbled down everywhere. Finally, on the night before it was due, it was finished. Note cards were complete, the outline was done, and every¬ thing was in order. Dooms¬ day dawned and the tired and bleary-eyed sopho¬ mores turned in their pa¬ pers. The worry and wait was over.

It was not Ronald Reagan or Papa Smurf; it was the tenth grade class officers: president, Johnna Snell; vice-president, Eva Altizer; secretarj ' -treasurer, April Boyers; and reporter, Caro¬ lyn Stafford. Sophomore officers di¬ rected class activities and were responsible for in¬ forming the members of the class of 1985 about spe¬ cial interests which per¬ tained exclusively, or pri¬ marily, to the sophomores. They led the tenth grad¬ ers in the spirit chain com¬ petition during the week of homecoming and encour¬ aged their classmates to contribute spirit to the fes¬ tivities. During homecom¬ ing week the sophomores placed fourth in the spirit chain, third in the locker bank competition, second in the floats, and fourth in the showcase. Sophomore class presi¬ dent Johnna Snell said, “It felt good knowing that my class wanted me to repre¬ sent them.” Johnna was also involved in BSU club, of which she was secretary, and was captain of the J.V. cheerleading squad.

Sadler Never Again! “It was fun while it lasted.” Melanie Whitt For the last time in their high school career, sopho¬ mores took gym and health classes. Some of the stu¬ dents missed it, but to many it was a relief. At the beginning of the year it looked promising with activities such as ten¬ nis, golf, archery, and re¬ creational sports listed as the curriculum. But as the year wore on, it seemed to be comprised of sweat, show¬ ers, and smelly gymsuits. But the whole year wasn’t all bad. It had its good points such as being part of a team, having friendly com¬ petition, and playing chal¬ lenging games. There was another part to this class period that many sophomores dreaded. This meant getting the notebooks and pens out of the back of the locker and getting be¬ hind a table again. What class fits this description? Health class, of course. The class was separated into sev¬ eral different units ranging from mental health to par¬ enthood and family relation¬ ships. The units were select¬ ed to educate sophomores on mental illness, health ca¬ reers, the effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco on their body. Also included were the importance of nu¬ trition, the ups and downs of parenthood, and family rela- tionships. It was “fun” while it lasted, but sopho¬ mores will never again have to tolerate gym and health classes. Heavy Workout — Phillip Cox works out on the military press in the weight room during P.E. Sophomores 139 Strader, Super Strider “Track gave me the experience I need for college and it gave me a chance to letter.” Fifty-two points at one dis¬ trict meet! That is not a team score, that is one run¬ ner’s score. The team was the Cougars’ “Class of 1985” freshman track team. The runner’s name was Preston Strader. With the help of Strader, the Cougars fin¬ ished second in the Roanoke Valley District in the spring of 1982. It was a lackluster season for the freshman Cougars, except for Strader’s ability to bring excitement to the starting line in time for his competition. Strader was in¬ volved in six events. These included the 400m relay, 800m relay, 300m low hur¬ dles, the long jump, triple jump, and high jump. His to¬ tal point output for the sea¬ son was 158 points, a school record. Records were also set by Strader in all six of his events. Preston Strader Strader first became in¬ terested in track through the physical fitness tests held at the middle school. He began running track in the sixth grade, but soon quit after only a few prac¬ tices. He ran the full season in his seventh and eighth grade years. Then came the big move to high school. Strader’s move to high school was filled with con¬ troversy. The middle school system was made up of free¬ dom, individual perfor¬ mance, and work. Freshman track had much more con¬ trolled practices. Different responsibilities and the no¬ ticeable lack of freedom al¬ most pushed Strader to quiting. Only the persuasion of friends and coaches kept him in the PCHS track pro¬ gram. The feats of the athlete were not over. In the first quarter of Strader’s sopho¬ more year, he already had another record to his credit. In the first running of the fif¬ ty yard dash, for the Presi¬ dential Physical Fitness Award, Strader ran a 5.5, de¬ stroying the old school re¬ cord by a tenth of a second. A knee injury has thrown many dark shadows on Whistle while you work — Al¬ though track kept Preston Strader busy, he still found time to study. Strader’s track future. Surgery may be inevita¬ ble. If this happens, Strader may be able to run track his senior sea¬ son. Steve C. Saunders Todd D. Schoolfield Jeff W. Scullin Raymond E. Secrist Timothy S. Shelton Chris A. Shepherd Kendell W.

Woodyard Sticking To It “p, c, H, s” In the spirit stick competition the class of ’85’s letter was always “H.” With the sound of that letter echoing through the gym, the sophomore class won the spirit stick — again. They didn’t let the “in be¬ tween year blues” keep them down. Instead they showed everyone just how spirited they could be. The sophomore class came out on top by winning the spirit stick more times than any other class. Although during home¬ coming week one could say that the sophomores did have the “in between year blues.” The sophomore class placed fourth in the spirit chain, third in the locker banks, second in the floats, and fourth in the showcase competition. But as you can see, it didn’t take long for the blues to fade away. Ready Position — Tina Branch pre¬ pares for a cheer during a football pep rally. Sophomores 143 Being a freshman had its advantages and disad¬ vantages. On one hand, everything was new and exciting: people, build¬ ing, activities, classes, and even the freedom that came with being a new high school student. On the other hand the up¬ perclassmen made the disadvantages of being the youngest group in FRESHMEN school all too apparent. The upperclassmen ex¬ pressed their authority by putting freshmen in trash cans and on top of lockers. Many freshmen lept at the chance to use the fabled “science pod elevator” or to buy a “season ticket” to the pep rallies. Panic struck in the hearts of many fresh¬ men when they discovered the signs that had conven¬ iently identified the pods were gone. That meant an¬ other week of tardies. Freshmen had to put forth more effort than any other class to fit into a new and bigger school. The advantages of being in high school were what kept the freshmen going. Fi¬ nally being a Cougar and be¬ ing able to attend the Sock Hops after the games were two such advantages. The “meeting of the clans” from Pulaski and Dublin gave the freshmen the experience of having to get acquainted with half of their own class, not to mention the other three classes. Freshmen knew that they had taken another big step up a twelve-rung ladder, leaving them with only three more rungs to go until they’ve made it to the top. While the upperclassmen may have looked down on these people, the freshmen felt they were the class that was “totally” prepared for life at the high school.

Delp 146 People A Growing Star John Myers has been seen in many places throughout the year such as the football field in the fall, the basket¬ ball court in the winter, and even the baseball diamond in the spring. John is what you would call an all-around athlete. Even when he is not on the football field during a very important game, he can always be found just playing around trying different strategies with neighbor¬ hood friends. John was voted Snow King by his classmates with a penny a vote. He thought that was very exciting for a freshman. When asked how he feels about his older brother, John replied, “I learn a lot from him; he helps me with football and schoolwork. I wouldn’t mind following in his footsteps, but I don’t like being called ‘Little Billy’.” John added, “It’s harder for me to find my identity. I wouldn’t be as popular as I am today without being ‘Little Bil¬ ly’.” When asked how he likes his freshman year, John answered, “It was a lot better than the middle school. I like the ala carte line and after we are fin¬ ished, we can walk around and socialize.” John enjoys playing Atari and likes to go to the movies. His hobbies are football and girls. After John graduates, he plans to attend college and play college football.

To become an officer you had to get 25 freshmen to sign a petition. The candi¬ dates’ names were then put on a ballot and the class vot¬ ed for the candidate of their choice. The top two candi¬ dates for each office then had to prepare a speech which was given to the class in the Little Theater. After speeches were made, an¬ other ballot was prepared and the class voted again for each officer. After the officers were de¬ cided, they immediately got busy getting ready for home¬ coming. Homecoming was the officers’ most busy time of the year, as they decorat¬ ed their showcase, locker- banks, and prepared their class float for the homecom¬ ing “parade.” In preparing for homecoming the officers met in Miss Waller’s room every day before and after school. During homecoming week the freshmen showed their Cougar Pride by win¬ ning first on the showcase, second on the locker banks, and third on the class float. Homecoming was not only busy for the band, football players, and cheerleaders but also for the freshman class officers. The officers decided to have a sock hop in Decem¬ ber for the Allen Keller fund. They also assisted with the vocational tours for orientation in the spring with the upcoming fresh¬ man class.

Fresh Pep Spirit was the name of the game for the freshman class. The} ' were proud of finally becoming Cougars, and they showed their pride and spirit by being attentive in their classes. They also showed their spirit by taking part in school activities. The ma¬ jor issue every year is to prove which class has the most school spirit. Home¬ coming week was when the classes competed to see who had the best show¬ case, locker banks, and floats. The freshmen re¬ ceived first on the show¬ case competition, second on locker banks, and third on the float competitions. During the pep rallies they were also the first fresh¬ man class ever to receive the spirit stick. The fresh¬ man class put in many hours to receive such high ratings. But in the end, the freshman class really showed their school spirit by sponsoring a sock hop for a Leukemia victim, Allen Keller.

Long Freshmen 151 Computer Correspondence Have you ever received a personal letter from a com¬ puter? If your answer is “yes,” then you were prob¬ ably a member of the fresh¬ man class. Each freshman was re¬ quired to take tests called DAT or Differential Apti¬ tude Tests. The tests were given in the fall, and the re¬ sults were given out in Jan¬ uary. These tests were de¬ signed to help guide fresh¬ men in choosing their future high school classes and to help guide them in career choices. Each Wednesday for six weeks in freshman English classes you could have ob¬ served students carefully and diligently filling in lit¬ tle black dots in hopes of communicating in a favor¬ able way with an unknown computer. Students were tested in several different categories. Some of these were verbal reasoning, nu¬ merical ability, abstract reasoning, space relations, spelling, and clerical speed and accuracy. Students’ reactions to the DAT tests were mixed. Some thought them dull and boring, while others found the tests challenging and fun. The test that stu¬ dents commented about most was the clerical speed and accuracy test. In this test students were giv¬ en about three minutes to do over a hundred prob¬ lems. Frustrations and gig¬ gles abounded as students squiggled their dots during this test. When the test results were given back in Janu¬ ary, most freshmen re¬ ceived a letter from the testing computer called a career planning report. In this report the computer gave advice on the career choice of each student in relation to his educational plans and the abilities that the student showed on the DAT test. Getting a letter from a computer was an unusual event for the freshmen, but most students found the computer correspondence a very helpful and useful tool in planning for the fu¬ ture.

Whether it was Pac Man, Donkey Kong, or Frogger, electronic figures and beeps filled the minds of the freshmen. There are always changes in the lives of freshmen, but this year was one of drastic change. Instead of filling “after school after¬ noons” with reruns of old TV shows, many freshmen could go home and plug in the Atari to stay amused. Although the video era was “in,” certain favorites held on to what was rightfully theirs. Classic foods and sports held their lead; but favorite restaurants, hob¬ bies, and cars changed as the “new era” set in. A poll was taken from fif¬ ty freshmen to find out the tastes of the freshman class. Favorite foods Pizza Candy—chocolate Potato chips Favorite Songs “Truly” “Eye of the Tiger” “You and I” “The Walk” “Sexual Healing” Favorite Restaurants McDonald’s Hardee’s Pizza Hut Red Lobster Long John Silver’s Favorite Video Games Pac Man Zaxxon Donkey Kong Frogger Tron Favorite Drinks Pepsi Coke Dr. Pepper Mt.

Stump Freshmen 155 Freshmen Freedom From the first time the class of 1986 walked into PCHS, they knew that it would be different. Fresh¬ men had more freedom and even more responsibilities as compared to the middle schools. Even though five out of six classes had to be taken, they chose between World Geography and World History for social studies, and Earth Science and biology for their sci¬ ence classes. Although all had to take a full year of Introductory Language Arts and Physical Educa¬ tion with no questions asked, they still had to choose between their math classes and their one elec¬ tive class. Many chose band and choir. Still others took the different trades and occupational classes that are offered to the ninth grade class. Freshmen not only stud¬ ied and worried about their classes, but they also took time out to do what they wanted during their lunch block — anything from eat¬ ing in the commons area to socializing in the locker banks with several friends or getting to know the new ones. These are just a few of the different freshman freedoms that the class of 1986 enjoyed from day to day.

The students and fac¬ ulty would have been stum¬ bling over each other with many more misguided mo¬ ments had it not been for the administration. Administra¬ tors put in long, hard hours in an effort to make school days and extra activities run smoothly. Directors No matter what activity was in progress, there was always an administrator there to see that everything went off “without a hitch.” Whether it was a football game, fashion show, prom, or the boys’ beauty contest one could always discover an administrator working to keep things on course. The school’s secretaries also played a vital role in the running of the school. They had to answer phones for call-ins, make up the absen¬ tee sheet, sell football tick¬ ets, mark registers, and run off stencils for hours on end. Another group that kept faculty, students, and princi¬ pals sane was the guidance V_ One for the Money — Mrs. Shirley Brown collects money from Wade Hutchens in exchange for his foot¬ ball ticket.

Besides coun¬ seling students, guidance counselors were faced with the awesome tasks of figur¬ ing grade point averages, scheduling classes, resche¬ duling classes, and seeing that all “college-bounds” got their applications and transcripts off on time. Perhaps P.C.H.S. was not quite as hectic as a Califor¬ nia freeway; however, there was plenty of traffic to di¬ rect. Principals, secretaries, and counselors all kept up with busy schedules in an ef¬ fort to keep the schools’ wheels turning.

It was teach¬ ers helping students help themselves. Math classes at school were plentiful, including Consumer Math, Trigonom¬ etry, and Calculus. All to¬ gether there were sixty- three classes taught in the math pod, and only thirteen teachers to do so. Just as too many cooks spoil the soup, too many teachers could crowd the pod. There was a new addition to the math pod this year, a computer class. The com¬ puter class had eighteen students enrolled. It put em¬ phasis on using computers, and how to use its software. One could even get to play a few video games during the class period. There were also five art classes offered this year, dealing in such media as paints (watercolors, acryl¬ ics, and oils), clay, rug punching, and weaving. Be¬ ing creative was a require¬ ment for art, and this was proven by the art that was displayed on the walls of the studios. Room was scarce in the math pod, with several of the larger rooms divided into two separate rooms. But, there was more than enough room for knowledge. To learn to draw, to learn to work a word problem, teach¬ ers were there to help in¬ struct and to be your friend. Just next door was the “Starship Enterprise” with Captain Jim Kelly at its con¬ trols. The science pod was known for authentic smells and strange inhabitants with in. But all in all, the sci¬ ence pod was really down to earth. Whether it was caus¬ ing chemical explosions or dissecting frogs, students and teachers a like created new and different exper¬ iences every day. Tax Time?

Fifty minutes, six periods a day full of amendments and adverbs. A small nervous breakdown was in order, but the English and Social Studies pods made the minutes tick with a flair. Each day was an ad¬ venture, a new era, a new point of grammar, or a new war to learn about. The English pod consisted of twenty teachers teaching forty-three different classes ranging from Children’s Lit¬ erature to Radio and T.V. Productions. The teachers of the English pod did more than give vocabulary tests and homework assignments. Many of them spent time working with the literary magazine, the yearbook staff, the newspaper staff, and the forensics team. Life in the Social Studies pod wasn’t much different. Twenty-three different classes kept nineteen teach¬ ers very busy, but not too busy to get involved. Sports was one activity they really “got into.” There were more coaches in the Social Stud¬ ies pod than any other place in the school. Together with the stu¬ dents, the teachers of the English and Social Studies pods made each school day a little easier to bear. This was one of the many ways teachers “got into education and entertainment.” Bribery? Not quite, Mrs. Jackie Freeman finds surprise candy on her desk at the end of nine weeks. MRS.

Love That Carpet Who was it who kept us all from being buried under pa¬ per wads and pencil stubs? When you ran out of nap¬ kins, who did you yell at to get you some more? Well it was probably a cus¬ todian or a cafeteria worker. Whether it was cleaning all of that nasty, gross gum out from under the desks, or washing all that mixed up food from off the trays, the custodians and cafeteria workers really had a very hectic days work. The cafe¬ teria workers faced the ev¬ eryday tactics: cook, serve, clean, and go home. How¬ ever, a major problem was keeping enough forks and spoons clean. Serving rough¬ ly 2,000 a day wasn’t easy. Now trying to sweep up after 2,000 was much the same. Remember all those spit- ball and paper battles you enjoyed instead of doing al¬ gebra? Well, how many times did you stop and think who got to clean up after you were finished? That is, if you didn’t get caught first. The custodians were the ones who got to dislodge the spitballs from the walls as well as pick up the paper wads. All in all, whether it was a custodian or a cafete¬ ria worker, they strove to keep RC.H.S. from becom¬ ing a garbage dump. 168 Individuals Who Stoic the Trash?

Clubs met, ideas were hatched, and people got together to get involved. Clubs and organiza¬ tions in the school kept the stu dents and community working hand in hand. The Key Club lent a hand to the com¬ munity-based Kiwanis Club, and the FBLA sponsored the March of Dimes Walkathon, just to name a few. Many vocational clubs helped the needy, such as the VICA Club, which raised almost a $1,000 for the children of the area, and helped to make 35 chil¬ dren have a happier Christmas. The DECA Club raised $23.00 in the Ugly Legs contest, won by the principal Dewey Wilson. The clubs of the school could always be found sponsoring a new event or raising money to fund their own activi¬ ties. The freshman class helped to sponsor a sock hop for Allen Keller a leukemia victim. The junior class spon¬ sored several sock hops for the annual Junior Senior Prom. All in all, nobody did it better than the clubs who really “got into it.” Up, Down, Right, Left — Are some of the many different positions the flag corps had to remem¬ ber for several songs.

Board Games Board games definitely were not “bored” games every club day at school. Moving little men around a checker board and getting bumped to the bar, came to life and became fun. Chess and backgammon clubs met dur¬ ing school, and the chess team met whenever they needed to. The chess team participated in tournaments at P.C.H.S. and out side the community. The competition began at the local lev¬ el and wound up at the national level. The backgammon club participated in three club tournaments, two of which were held on Saturdays. When Michelle Phillips, president of the backgammon club was asked why she joined the club she commented, “I thought it was interesting and chal¬ lenging.” The chess club was a club for people who just enjoyed chess as a hobby. The club was run like a year-long tourna¬ ment where club members played oth¬ er members with similar win-loss re¬ cords. Amy Overton commented, “I have been in chess club for four years because it was nice to be able to take an hour of school time to do something you just plain enjoy.” Each clubs’ members all improved their skills and abilities in their game whether it was in backgammon or in chess.

What club pro¬ moted school spirit, and above all, Cougar Pride? The club with the pep, or the Pep Club! The Pep Club worked very hard this year to support school activities and the people involved in the activities. Pep Club members made colorful ban¬ ners for the locker banks to build up school spirit. They also devoted many hours to making locker stickers for members of the athletic teams and the band. Footb all season was an especially “peppy” time this year, and the club had its own cheering section at all the home football games. This special yell¬ ing and screaming section was quite an asset in keeping the spirit moving. The Golden Cougar Mascot was pro¬ vided again this year at basketball and football games. Also, the Pep Club sponsored quite a few dress-up days in an effort to involve everyone in the Cougar Pride enthusiasm. The major project of the Club this year was the production of the football programs. This year’s program was a big success, as was shown by over 3,000 programs being sold. Overall, the Pep Club worked hard this year to support all of the numer¬ ous teams and activities, to build school spirit, and to promote Cougar Pride.

This year the drama participants took part in excel¬ lent productions, such as ‘The Brick and the Rose’, ‘Vanities’, and ‘The Fabulous Fable Factory.’The members also helped with the lighting and sound in the mock wedding and other school productions. Forensic Club competitions took a lot of planning for the participants and the sponsors. December 1 was the school competition. There were many nervous people in the English Pod be¬ fore the competition began. The next day the winners became known. Yet, the Extemporaneous Speaking had to be redone the next Wednesday, be¬ cause of judging difficulties.

They both enabled members to explore interest, possible career op¬ portunities, and for some, just plain hobbies. The Science Club dealt with the art of science and the Art Club dealt with the science of art. The two clubs opened doors of the minds and encouraged students to “get into” their own personal talents and make the most of themselves. The Science Club consisted of ap¬ proximately twenty-one people who all had a common “chemical bond”. On club days, they would all group togeth¬ er in space, like electrons around a nu¬ cleus, and share ideas. Secretary Steve Trivisonno remarked once that he be¬ lieved there could be “better living through chemicals. I got that from Du¬ Pont, but it sounded good anyway!” Treasurer Sean Wood agreed as he said, “Science is the total make-up of the future. Without science, there would be no future-, nothing at all.” During club meetings, the members did more than just share their own ideas. They had guest speakers come and expand on the concepts of science. They watched several films in the course of the year; “The Power of Ten” was an ever-popular club favorite. In a different pod on Club day, a group of talented people exercised free-thinking and creativity. The mem¬ bers of the Art Club put their heads together and did what all artists did best - used their imagination. During the meetings they worked on different styles and types of art work - from acrylics to ceramics, and sketches to weaving. For Valentine’s Day, the club made sweetheart badges to sell to the student body, and promoted love that made the school go round literally! It wasn’t a simple gathering for club meetings. When the Art Club met along with the Science Club, it was a meeting of minds and intellectual ideas. Worlds were explored and worlds were cre¬ ated, building roads to future careers and developing new and better talents for those involved.

That could have been the exclamation of over twenty-three needy children when they received their gifts at Christmas. With the help of DECA there were smiles every¬ where. The Distributive Education Clubs of America sponsored a fund¬ raising project for “Operation Santa Claus.” An Ugly Legs Contest was held with nineteen participating male teachers. The photographs of their legs were posted in the commons area during lunch for two weeks. Students gave a penny for each vote in the con¬ test. The unlucky winner “by a hair” was Mr. Gary McCoy. Second place winner went to Mr. Dewey Wilson and third went to Mr. Frank Eller. The Ugly Legs Contest raised twen¬ ty-seven dollars, but Hecks Depart¬ ment Store donated a fifty dollar credit and a twenty percent discount off ev¬ erything they bought. DECA finally raised approximately three hundred fifty dollars, which bought twenty-four dolla rs worth of toys for each needy child helped. DECA participated in many more ac¬ tivities including the fall rally in Octo¬ ber. Held at Virginia Tech, the rally was a series of courses in the free en¬ terprise system. Another club that raised a lot of smiles was the Black Student Union. BSU participated in a state meeting of Black Student Unions in Wytheville during the Black History Week, Febru¬ ary 16-20. The club sang and put on a skit for the group. Detra Snell, presi¬ dent of the BSU, said, “We worked hard and looked forward to going to Wytheville as a part of Black History Week.” Acc Reporter — Gary Crawford, reporter for DECA writes a report from the last DECA meet¬ ing.

Members of the Interdenominational Christian Fellowship were responsible each school day for the “thought for the day.” The ICF was started ten years ago at the Pulaski Middle School. The pur¬ pose of the club was to promote the general welfare, friendship, and Chris¬ tian love between students and faculty. One way that the club fulfilled their purpose was by sending Christmas cards to Russian Christians. The ad¬ dresses came from a ministry in under¬ ground evangelism in California. That group also acted as the translators for the letters. The club programs, such as one given by Rev. James Hopkins of the Dublin Church of God, served to provide spiritual inspiration to the members. Rev. Hopkins spoke about the role of Christ in the lives of teen¬ agers. The Fellowship of Christian Ath¬ letes was an organization that strove to give athletes at PCHS an opportunity for Christian fellowship. The club had several guest speakers and singing groups present programs at club meet¬ ings. One such program was presented by a group who went on a mission to Costa Rica. The group was sponsored by the United Methodist Church and worked to help build a church, taught sewing skills, and taught bible school. Club member Bonnie Bird said, “I real¬ ly enjoy being in FCA because every other member is included, and we are all like one big family. Everyone talks openly about their experiences with Jesus and how they feel about reli¬ gion.” V fjg| dBflB 11IV f ui $ ■ mm - C ! IP f M A Hi 1 HI - ft 11 • 18 ? ■ a!

When some¬ one asked for your “ID”, pulling out that great National Honor Society card was well worth the effort. Being in the club was not so easy, as a 3.5 grade point average was required to be in the club. Wearing that special gold tassal created an image that everyone respected, that brilliant graduate! Members of the National Honor Soci¬ ety at Pulaski County High School were very busy this year. The Fall activities consisted of hosting the homecoming re¬ ception for the graduates and a banquet honoring all the members. The club helped brighten Christmas for some needy students by buying them some new clothes. The spring activities con¬ sisted of a tie for all students who made A’s and B’s on their report cards. Every¬ one knows how hard it is to come up Hands with the high costs of college. Well, Na¬ tional Honor Society worked hard to provide a scholarship for a deserving member. Guess who was in charge of all the homecoming activities, all locker and showcase competitions, royalties, floats, pep rallies, receptions, and those much needed and enjoyed dances? That’s right, Student Counsel Associ¬ ation. This club, also sponsored the Pu¬ laski County High School Beauty Pag¬ eant. They set things up and made things run smoothly. For the Salvation Army, SCA spon¬ sored a can drive to help some unfortu¬ nate people. Everyone knew the fears of getting lost the first day. Well, SCA knew too, and planned an orientation for the in¬ coming freshmen. Thanks to SCA, less freshmen were lost that dreadful first day of high school.

Patriotism in Action There were keys for doors, cars, and vale locks. But who had ever heard of “people-keys” that sold basketball programs and worked in haunted houses? They were none other than the members of the Key Club! The Key Club was involved, as always, in many activities throughout the year. It took true dedication to devote one’s morn¬ ing social time to a few flags. Each morning key Key Club volunteers dis¬ played their patriotism by raising the two flags donated by the Key Club. The club worked behind the scenes many times, such as when they donat¬ ed one hundred dollars toward paint¬ ing the over-vandalized bathrooms. Around the last week in October, they devoted personal time to dress in frightening masks and gruesome cloth¬ ing, and helped in the haunted house sponsored by the Jaycees. After work¬ ing several nights surrounded by spooks and goblins of all sorts, club member Renee Caywood remarked, “I was tired, but I had fun, and I’m glad I did it.” During basketball season, they sold programs in the lobby of the gym. In March, the club sponsored a Su¬ per Dance for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The participants danced all day and helped raise enough money to help buy several wheelchairs and send two children to MDA camp. The Key Club was always involved and the members were enthusiastic about helping. Angie Farley summed up how she felt when she said, “Key club gives you a good feeling.” AIASA had a strange spelling and a strange pronunciation, but it meant hard work and dedication. The club promoted Cougar spirit by making Cougar paw stickers, and sell¬ ing them in the commons area during the lunch blocks. During the third nine weeks the club worked on building school service projects, and later in the semester they did enterprising pro¬ jects to sell at a later date. To sum up the efforts of the club, secretary Dan Love said, “We ended the year with great success.” AIASA: (Front Row) Mr. David Handwork, Troy Wilburn, Ken Warden, Brad French, Billy Thompson, Curry Bowling, Mr. Sam Bowers (Second Row) Jerry Parris, Chip Sparks, Russell Coble, Greg Holt, Brian Stevens, Tammy Saunders, Brenda Burke (Third Row) Tony Fiore, Dan Love, Preston Albert, Eugene Tallant, Dean Smith, Vic Kemp, Tom Rollyson, John Underwood (Back Row) Mark Bishop, Danny Dean, Robbie Farmer, Dwayne Bullion, Dale Harmon, Gina Viers, and Alan Morris. 186 Clubs Key Club: (Front row) Andy Hatch, Carla Turner, Rene Nicholas, Brenda II, April Caldwell, Lee Cox, Tina Smith, Mr. Fran Shelton (Second row) Angie Trail, Georgia Huffman, Lori Straughan, Janet Stuart, Lisa Collins, Amy Harris, Chip Sparks, Debbie Clendenan, Cindy Burton, Jay Nash, (Third row) Cindy Carrico, Tom Wallace, Beth White, Robbie Morris, Rhonda Woodyard, Patrick Shelor, Beth Weaver, Vicki Sheppard, Melissa Burcham, Debbie Burcham, Kurt Harlow (Fourth row) Missic Cain, Lunette Pearce, Darren Fisher, Tim Lilly, Steve Trivisonno, Kim Long, George Morrison, Lori Hodges, Tim Crouse, Renee Caywood, and Trudy Stcgcr.

The Health Occupation Students of America were involved in such money-making projects as selling the 2 year planners to make money for their state competition and selling homecoming mums during Homecom¬ ing week, October 4-8. The HOSA stu¬ dents brought interest to the communi¬ ty by having the following: a blood pressure clinic to help a needy family at Christmas and by sponsoring the blood mobile. The HOSA was involved in a state competition held in Williams¬ burg. While they were at state compe¬ titions, they listened to speakers speak. They watched and learned how to treat patients by using a practice patient. They had a team from Pulaski Com¬ munity Hospital and Radford Commu¬ nity Hospital and others from the health field to talk about careers in health. Being active in the Future Business Leaders of America was a great way to get involved in an active organization. The purpose and the goal of the club was to develop business leadership, build self-confidence, develop charac¬ ter, prepare for useful citizenship, help career decision-making, and to ease the transfer from the world of school to the world of work.

They spnsored a western soc-hop and also the Snow King — Snow Queen Dance, which were both successes. They sponsored several activities that helped the community and sur¬ rounding areas. Some of these includ¬ ed visiting the nursing homes in the county and the children’s wards of the local hospitals. Their main reason for this was to deliver treats and help the children. The F.B.L.A. also did activities which helped thorughout the school. These activities included participat¬ ing in the Homecoming Float competi¬ tion and the Teacher of the Day project where a business student took the place of the teacher for that day. They also participated in different activities throughout Free Enterprise Week and F.B.L.A. Vocational Educational Week. Will it Hurt?

Bread and cake baking were two of the categories in the contest. Mmin hot dogs! FHA club members were responsible for this reaction from many football fans during the season. Before each home game FHA members spent their Friday afternoons and evenings making approximately 2,000 hot dogs. FHA was not only a hard working club, but also it was a club for fun. For example club members had a pizza party at Pizza Hut, and they had a skating party at the Christiansburg Skating Rink. Club member Karen Fo- vett commented, “I enjoyed these ac¬ tivities and want more people to get involved next year.” Every club meeting, FHA had either a guest speaker or some sort of inter¬ esting activity. For example, Sidney’s assistant manager Jill Chiti presented a show of spring fashions during the January club meeting. She also gave some advice on the ins and outs of re¬ tailing. Renee Jarrells said, “The pro¬ gram was very enlightening. I never re¬ alized how much detailed work was in¬ volved in working in a clothing store.” V 190 Clubs Service With a Smile — FHA members Robin Matney, Andria Carrol, Sliellie Dowdy, Renee Jarrells and Tina Jones make hot dogs for a home football game.

When the marching band season had eoine to a halt, the concert and sym¬ phonic bands returned to the drab set¬ ting of the bandroom, complete with its squeaky music stands, school- owned horns, and those obnoxious or¬ ange chairs. Nonetheless, the concert season proved to be as enjoyable as the marching season. The first task was to get ready for the upcoming Christmas concert. Also, music was handed out in preparation for District Band Festival in the spring. The concert band was made up of mostly freshmen and sophomores but included some upperclassmen. The formation of many well-rounded musi¬ cians was brought about in this band. There were also students in the class who just needed a class period of enjoy¬ ment and relaxation in their day. Ileana Kinnie stated, “It’s a lot of fun — being in the band — and I enjoy it a lot. It’s good to play a musical instrument.” ment.” The symphonic band, composed mostly of upperclassmen, was a very selective and more advanced band. From the band came superb sounds of Christmas music as well as the classi¬ cal and modern music they presented. In this band students received many honors and most of the students really enjoyed themselves. Some would prob¬ ably make careers and hobbies out of their experiences in this band in the years to come. The director of these bands was Mr. Bill Propst (alias “Walter”). The tal¬ ents of directing many different bands must be great and dwell deep within the soul and this quality was exhibited in the personality of Mr. Propst. As one band member remarked, “He’s the best we could hope for. He cares about us just exactly like we were his own kids, and we are. I think he’s very tal¬ ented. He wants us to be good, because he knows the feeling and wants us to experience it.” The students enjoyed his teaching and many thanks were in order to this fine band director.

Many long hours were spent practicing for the junior high and senior high regional auditions. Select¬ ed for junior high regionals were over twenty freshmen, while twenty-four sophomores, juniors, and seniors were selected for senior high regionals. In addition, the choir members who made i senior high regionals were elgible to compete for the “All Virginia Chorus” during all regional tryouts. A combined effort by the choirs was necessary in order to raise funds. By selling magazine subscriptions, the choirs raised enough money for the concert choir to represent the chorus and PCHS in the national chorus com¬ petition. The concert choir, the only audition- selected choir, also tried out for sen¬ iors’ honors choir. “There were only seven seniors in the concert choir,” commented choir director Mr. Mont Quesenberry, “but two students did make honor’s choir. ” In the spring they traveled to Busch Gardens in order to compete in the national choral compe¬ titions. Excelling in musical abilities was one reason why senior Mike Noble en¬ joyed choir. Mr. Quesenberry stated that most of the time they worked hard and did outstanding jobs with the music. Most members enjoyed choir and had a fine working relationship with other members. “Overall this year was an excellent learning experi¬ ence for the choir members,” Mr. Que¬ senberry added. “All things pointed to an even better choir in the future.” Well he said that she said ...

Determination, stamina, talent, patience, and dedica¬ tion are a few traits that described the members of the Pinnacle, the Prowler, and Inklings. The Cougar Pinnacle staff began the year with yet another new yearbook adviser, a fairly inexperienced staff, and a lot of enthusiasm. Several mem¬ bers of the staff attended a summer yearbook workshop at Longwood Col¬ lege and returned with a new cover de¬ sign, a new theme, and many new ideas in layout design. The staff got things rolling in the fall by attending a workshop at Elon Col¬ lege and another one conducted by the Virginia High School League at the University of Virginia. It was at U. Va. that the staff learned the 1982 Pinna¬ cle had earned the top award given by the V.H.S.L. — the trophy. As the deadlines approached, the quality of dedication became the most important factor. As evenings, Satur¬ days, Thanksgiving vacation, Christ¬ mas vacation and snow days all be¬ came “yearbook days”, the staff drew on its dedication as they worked to “make that deadline.” Laughter, hys¬ teria, tears, anger, frustration, and sat¬ isfaction could all be found as cropping wheels turned, pica poles snapped, typewriters clicked, and quadpacks ripped. What made all of this worth¬ while? Co-editor Paige Game said, “It all pays off when the books come in and the students are so excited about them.” Yearbook adviser, Mrs. Sharon Owens commented, “It’s great to work with students who care so much about what they’re doing. I only wish that the student body as a whole could real¬ ize and appreciate the long hours and hard work that goes into the making of the yearbook.” Co-editor Kim Cline quipped, “The best part of being on the yearbook staff was the closeness and unity that formed among staff members at deadline time.” The Cougar Prowler staff, otherwise known as the journalism classes, had a year of successes. They never missed a deadline, and many people enjoyed reading the Prowler. The newspaper was produced com¬ pletely within the school. The journal¬ ism students wrote all copy, designed all layouts, and took all pictures. The printing department printed all edi¬ tions of the Prowler, which went out to the “newsstands” once a month. The staff as a whole consisted of quite a few girls and only four boys. This “female dominance” was illustrated in the fact that the two co-editors, Sherry Hedge and Treva Chrisley, were both girls. Both staffs came together as one and worked closely together. They were described by adviser Mrs. Linda Snow as like “brothers and sisters,” having their little “family squabbles,” but never anything major. The literary magazine, Inklings, be¬ gan its year with a greatly increased staff. Unlike the previous year with approximately five dedicated mem¬ bers, the literary magazine staff in¬ cluded more than twenty members. Nearly every Tuesday afternoon after school, these dedicated members read and critiqued original artwork, rang¬ ing from poems and essays to pen and ink sketches. These submissions were finely read and scored by each staff member. Before the criticisms were made, the staff as a whole decided what each different type of work should contain. This was merely a pre¬ liminary step, but a vital one. It was necessary for organization and compre¬ hension of the submissions, and for the censoring to begin. Not only was the literary magazine This Should Work — Jeff Jones tries to get his measurements precise on one of his many lay¬ outs. ..

Publications 197 We Made It cont’d responsible for censoring material for the book, they, like other publications staffs, were responsible for raising money for their budget. With a low budget and a small staff, they still managed to receive a first place rating by the V.H.S.L. for the 1982 publica¬ tion. The “new kid on the block” in publi¬ cations was the Photography Club. This club was formed to further the instruction of the photographers for all the publications. During club meetings members were shown new camera techniques as they were also given con¬ structive criticism on the shots that each photographer had taken. Most club members agreed that having regu¬ lar meetings and functioning as an or¬ ganization helped to raise the stan¬ dards of quality in photography at P.C.H.S.

In district 7, the state Vocational Industrial Clubs of America were strong. It was one of the most active clubs in the State and Pulaski County High School. The club was a union of students representing auto body and mechanics, electronics, drafting, printing and ICT. The main purpose for the organization was com¬ petition that began on the school level and ran into the national level. VICA is a student run organization with several school advisers, the head adviser be¬ ing Jim Gettys. To start the year off there was a dis¬ trict meeting held in the fall. This year’s fall rally was held at PCHS. Dennis Bird, a Pulaski County senior, was the district leader that was in charge. 450 excited and determined students from area high schools be¬ came better acquainted with one an¬ other at the rally that was followed by a buffet dinner and dance. At the rally Drafted by the draftboard — Working hard in drafting, Randy Jones makes sure every move is right. For the Community VIC A cont’d. new district officers were chosen to re¬ present the participating 12 schools. The fall rally was the first district meeting of the year. Other activities of the club were a Christmas toy drive for underprivi¬ leged children. This generous effort was supported by students, classes, and area businesses. As a result of their efforts a Christmas party was held in the honor of the children. Santa Claus was there for the festivities and handed out gifts to all the children. Then everyone enjoyed refreshments. One of the annual events of the club that was strictly for members was a volleyball tournament held in the spring. It seems today VICA isn’t just a school wide club, but an organization reaching out to help others. Silence Please!

Was this normal? Yes, if you were one of the FFA members that helped unload 1,420 cases of fruit that the club sold. In the “salesman contest” Pam Stump and Tommy Kelly came in first by selling eighty cases apiece. Close behind in third place was Peggy Ritter selling seventy-two. It seemed to be a “contest year” for the farmers in blue, as they held a “big buck” contest during deer season. Members ran around school telling about the big one they got, and the even bigger one that got away. Some seventy-two students paid one dollar each to enter the contest. Competitor, Norman Cummings said, “I think it was good because it was one way of raising money for a great organization. Plus, it was one way for a large number of people to get involved.” Bringing in a ten pointer for first place was Andy Haga. Charging in at second was Den¬ nis Banes with an eight pointer. Jamie Sifford did well in third place with a seven pointer. The club also participated in school- related activities. During Homecoming the club came away with honors in yet another contest by taking second in the float competition. In a forestry contest, they received first in the federation and second in the area. Also planned for the year was an extemporaneous speaking contest. They were known as the “farmers in blue” because of the traditional blue FFA jackets that the members wore. A few shared their sentiments about their title. Travis Hinkle said that “be¬ ing an officer in FFA was fun because you were given responsibilities,” while Sheila Davis remarked, “I liked being in FFA. It was a very exciting club.” Need one say more?

Stu dents, teachers, principals, custo dians, cafeteria workers, and the entire Pulaski County community were “get ting into it.” “It” was pride in athletic prowess, spirited support for any ath lete who represented the school whether it was on the football field the basketball court, or on the goll course. It was pride in something the school did well and it was a shared sense of accomplishment. Sports was one of the top items the school had to look forward to every | Friday night or Tuesday night. People came in droves to see the Cougars in action no matter what the sport. In a time of “self’’-consciousness of people j wanting to keep in shape, sports had[ become the major part of everybody’s life. Not only did students get involved in sports, but so did adults. Many teach¬ ers played tennis or racquetball weightlifted, or jogged. It didn’t mat ter who they were, the thrill of doin; some kind of sport was where it was a for the people at PCHS. It was th thrill of participating in sports, as ath letes or spectators. Sports was “get¬ ting into it” in a big way.

After hitting a bagfull of “shag” balls, came the task of picking them all up. To see who would be worthy of that, the golfers all lined up and each hit a ball. The one who hit the farthest from the target was the lucky winner. They also bestowed nicknames to some mem¬ bers of the team. Jay “Spaz” Sadler and David “Bucky” Bentley were some unfortu¬ nate recipients. On the serious side, the team could get down to busi¬ ness when necessary. During matches there were no cat¬ calls, only the low murmurs of “good shot” or “way to go!” This sober attitude won them a district score of fourth place. There were no galleries following the golfers and no whispering commentators at matches. The golf team was one of the least publi¬ cized team s at school. It was very small in number, so it commanded very little fans’ support. The team also only had access to one course, but Coach Butch White didn’t find that to be a draw¬ back as he said, “The peo¬ ple and the course have been a tremendous help.” Coach White started playing golf at the age of ten on the Virginia Tech golf course. He has been coach¬ ing golf for eleven years. When asked his opinion on the sport, he replied, “I feel fortunate to be involved with a sport that people can play and enjoy for the rest of their lives if they so choose.” 208 Sports Tcc Time — Junior Gary Lark tees off during practice.

America’s favorite pastime started in the spring with four away games, which some of the players felt really hurt their morale. After it was all over, Coach Wally Flinchum re¬ marked the team had “a very grueling season; it had it’s high points and valleys, but we showed we were a very good team in our final games of the tournament. Some of our graduating sen¬ iors will go on to college. And I think a lot of team suc¬ cess is measured by that scale.” The beginning of the sea¬ son started away from the comforts of home and it proved to be devastating. The team usually had the home advantage at Calfee Park. The park was being ren nova ted for the up¬ coming Pulaski Braves games.

The team lost to Patrick Henry, then won against Salem. This was followed by two close con¬ secutive losses against North side and Franklin County. The Cougars ended the regular season with a win against William Flem¬ ing. They started off well in the R.V.D. Tournament with a win against Salem, but lost the next game to Northside with a close score of 3-2. It was not a winning sea¬ son, but it was a learning ex¬ perience. Chris Kinzer ex¬ pressed his feelings about the past season when he said, “It was a disappointing year, that’s all you can say. Things just didn’t go our way. The Cougars’ trade¬ mark is to capitalize on our opponents’ mistakes and er¬ rors.

Varsitv Baseball 213 Hitting Home The single most favorite double of the freshmen baseball season was double headers. There were five double headers during the season. On the afternoon of April 16, the diamond run¬ ners played their third and fourth games of the season, and their second double- header. During the first match up of the afternoon the boys lost their only game of the season to Hillsville 2- 9; but came back in the next game to win with an impres¬ sive 8-0 shutout. After that game the team seemed to be on an endless roll. They continued to go on to finish their season with an eleven-one record. Their last game of the season was against Bland County Varsi¬ ty baseball team. Once again the Cougars came out on top winning both matches of the double header, 5-3 and 8-1. The feelings of the team members were unity and a strong foundation. “I though we had a solid foundation, we had no Reggie Jackson’s, we just had a strong all around team. I think the coaching was good too,”said T. J. Hicks. Although there weren’t any Reggie Jack- sons there were quite a few good players and they were well coached as was stated by the players. “We had a good team and coaches, we could play good ball if ev¬ erybody put their minds to¬ ward the game,” comment¬ ed Ron Frank. “I thought in all that we had a very good team. We had a strong pitch¬ ing staff and a strong out¬ field. The infield was good but was a little weak at times,” said James East. “I thought that we were a very well coached team we had a lot of team spirit and we all wanted to go out and win and we had a lot of good ball players,” remaked Paul Tickle. “I feel we had good coaching and great potential and best of all, we all want¬ ed to win and had spirit,” said Joe Rasnake.

Girls’ Track 217 Life In The Fast Lane It was certainly not a sport for the idle, or even those with normal energy levels. It was for those who could push themselves to the limit and endure a “Life in the fast lane.” It was a track season characterized by new records being set and new track stars coming into their own. Donnie Tickle, Kenny Burnett and C. J. Sheppard were all key members of the varsity team that posted an impressive 4-3 record, in¬ cluding a first place finish in the Wytheville Relays and a close fourth place in the Roanoke Valley District race. The Freshman team, paced by standout Preston Strader, achieved a 2-4 re¬ cord, ending the year with a triumph over RVD rival Cave Spring. In a season of nearly con¬ stant excitement, what was the most exciting part? For coach Don Skeen it was “winning the Wytheville Re¬ lays and being able to share in the outstanding individ¬ ual achievements of Donnie Tickle, Kenny Burnett and C. J. Sheppard in district, regional, and state competi¬ tion.” Tickle, Burnett and Shep¬ pard: they were the three names that kept appearing in the newspapers, in the re¬ cord books, and in conversa¬ tions about outstanding run¬ ners of the past and the pre¬ sent. Burnett, one of the team’s three captains, set a new school record in the 200 m. with a time of 22.3 seconds, and a new stadium record in the 400 m. with a time of 50.3 seconds, the second fas¬ test time in Cougar History. He also totaled 102V4 points for the season, the most ever scored by a Cougar in one season. Tickle, another captain, also enjoyed a record-break¬ ing season. He recorded the second fastest times in school history in the 800 m., 1600 m., and 3200 m. Besides the expected achievements of Tickle and Burnett, Cougar fans were pleasantly surprised by the feats of C. J. Sheppard. In the previous season Shep¬ pard failed to win a race; but in his junior season he re¬ corded thirteen firsts, one second and one third place. He also set school records in 100 m. high hurdles and 330 m. intermediate hurdles. About this track prowess, Sheppard said, I’m one of the lucky few, I guess. I’m lucky to have been given the opportunity to make some¬ thing of myself.” Other varsity record set¬ ters were Charlie Bryant in the shot (49’9V4”), Tommy Kirk in the 3200 m. (10:18.5) and in the 800 m. relay (1:34). The source of varsity trackmen for the future, the freshman team, experienced a more successful season than its record indicated. Freshman K. G. Homes set school records in the 100 in. (11.5), 200 m. (23.4), and discus (135’4”). Holmes was also a member of a record¬ setting 800 relay team. A sterling performance was turned in by Chuck Daught- erty in the 800 m. (2:13.7) and 1600 m. (4:55.9). The real story of the freshman season, the real “star” in the fast lane, was Preston Strader. Strader set records in nearly everything he attempted, including the 300 mlh. (16.1), the long jump (20’5”), triple jump (39’9”) and high jump (5’10”). Strader also ran on two relay teams, the 400 m. and the 800 m..

Varsity Freshman Track 219 One Step Closer Strength and determina¬ tion combined gave the boys’ tennis team a surpris¬ ingly successful season. Rob Neighbors said, “Although beginning season expecta¬ tions were low, the team fin¬ ished off with a 10-3 re¬ cord.” The netmen again came one step closer to champion¬ ship status as they earned a first-ever regional play-off berth. Sophomore Miller Bushong said, “The trip to regionals was the highlight of the season. The competi¬ tion and extracurricular ac¬ tivities combined made for an unforgettable season.” For the third consecutive year, the Cougar netmen made it to the Roanoke Val¬ ley District tournament fin¬ als. But for the third time the two-time defending R. V. D. regular season champs fell in the title match. Mark Aust, captain of the team, was the lone senior starter. Aust was voted the most valuable player award by his fellow players. Top seeded sophomore Rob Neighbors and Aust combined to become the Cougars top doubles duo. While Aust played number two in singles, junior Alan Hall manned the number three position and led the team in victories with elev¬ en. Freshman Jon Neblett and sophomores Miller Bu¬ shong and Steve Crigger played four, five, and six po¬ sitions respecitvely. Neblett and Bushong were impres¬ sive at two doubles; while Hall and “Guppy” Greer had a ten-two record at three doubles. Coach John Freeman in his eighth year as coach, earned his one- hundredth victory with the win over Northside in the R. V. D. tournament. Coach Freeman’s school record is one-hundred wins and forty- one losses. “I was surprised time and again by this team,” said Coach Freeman. “Our sea¬ son was a complete team ef¬ fort. In each match it seemed a different player would pick us up when we needed a win,” he added. Once again the tennis team carried on its tradition of never having a losing sea¬ son in the school’s eight years. The Cougars were one of two teams in the R. V. D. that made the final four tournament each year since the founding of the R. V. D.

In fact, it was a season that fluctuated so consis- | tently that by the time it ended it seemed that every¬ thing had just about broken even. There were brief “los¬ ing streaks” and equally brief “winning streaks.” There were sterling individ¬ ual performances and medi¬ ocre ones as well. It was a building season and a learn¬ ing season, a season for cre¬ ating a cohesive, winning team. The ladies opened their season with two losses in¬ cluding one to a Salem team that would eventually cap¬ ture the Roanoke Valley District title. Then came two wins, a loss, a win, a loss, a win, and so it went ending with a team record of 8 - 6 . For the first time in any¬ one’s memory, there was a girl’s tennis team without a senior. However, a lack of seniors in no way signaled a lack of leadership. The first three seeds were juniors. Number one seed Pam Mar¬ tin receiving the coach’s award from John Freeman for MVP. Second seed Karri Powers was recognized by her team¬ mates, receiving the team MVP Award. A third junior, Leslie Himmelman also per¬ formed well receiving a tro¬ phy for having won the most love sets during the year. Junior performances aside, it was a freshman, Lori Game, who turned in the best individual record for the season. Another freshman, Noelle Turner, shared the number six posi¬ tion with junior Karen Thompson. Inconsistencies in the win loss column aside, the nest ladies completed the season with more exper¬ ienced players and a solid base for the upcoming sea¬ son. Typical of the ladies’ “growing pains” during the search was a rather strange incident with RVD rival Pat¬ rick Henry. On September 30, the Lady Cougars trav¬ eled to Roanoke prepared to play at Patrick Henry. When the team arrived at PH, they were informed that the PH team was waiting for them at the Cougar courts. Ac¬ cording to third seed Leslie Himmelman, “This almost topped an episode last year when our number one player brought two right shoes to use for a match.” It was all a part of growing and fusing as a team, a part of getting into it. Girls’ Tennis 223 Ups And Downs Practice makes perfect, and the cross country team really practiced. Every day after school, as other stu¬ dents were going to warm homes in warm cars and warm clothes, the all weath¬ er striders were running around the parking lot and up and down the highway. Their legs received many honks and whistles, but they kept their modesty and pushed for more mileage. It was a young team, with only one senior and seven freshmen, but each member stood out in his own way. Philip McDaniel was a stand out as he placed seventh in the district his first year of running. Tony Minter who came in last in J. V. the pre¬ vious year, came in thir¬ teenth in varsity last year. This year’s season was summed up by Tee Tolbert when he said, “We had a very well-rounded season. Tommy Kirk was our best runner, but when somebody was sick, somebody else would fill in. “Coach Wright really worked us hard this season. We really improved a lot. This was probably one of the best seasons we’ve ever had.” Ahead of Them All Junior Phillip McDaniel leads the way to a win over Salem. The Cougars lost that meet to Salem later in the day.

The Men From Under — The Cross Country team didn’t always win all their matches, but they did come from under to defeat William Flem¬ ing and Patrick Henry. Cross Country 225 Set On Course The 1981 volleyball team had a final record of 0-13. One match into the ’82 sea¬ son, and the team had al¬ ready improved. What made the difference? In a word, it was “experience”. “I be¬ lieve actual playing experi¬ ence, a good attitude toward teammates, and hard prac¬ tices made a difference.” Coach Maggie Manning said. Another important ingre¬ dient for the “turn around” season was teamwork. Coach Manning and her players believed that the most important part in vol¬ leyball was teamwork. “A player must be unselfish enough to let another make the outstanding hit if it’s necessary for a good team ef¬ fort. A positive attitude is Let it Whip — Lisa Frye prepares to bump the ball back as she takes her turn at play. essential for winning.” The team started their season with a disappointing loss to Franklin County, but quickly bounced back with awin against Northside. The weeks and games in be¬ tween brought mostly suc¬ cesses and the season ended with wins over both William Fleming and Salem. What changed a losing team into a winning one? Mi¬ chelle Crockett said, “We knew as a team that we would have to erase last sea¬ son and work extra hard to make up for it. So, we put it behind us and moved for¬ ward. We played as a team and were full of pride, de¬ sire, and hustle. Our aggres¬ sive playing changed every¬ thing.” ' Success was also attribut- ed to a strong sense of “team”. The season’s end saw the loss of only two sen¬ iors, captain Denise Aker and three year veteran Joyce Bratton. What was left was a strong core of un¬ derclassmen totally dedi¬ cated to a winning effort. Robin Alderman said, “What really counted was that we all worked togeth¬ er,” and Michelle Crockett added, “For us, volleyball was not a one woman game. There was a bonding trust each of us had with the team member playing beside us.” Teamwork, dedication, a winning attitude ... it all set volleyball on a winning course.

VolleyBall 227 Pain Paid Off; R.Y.D. Champs They were even better than expected. Oh, nearly everyone thought they would be great. And, there were a very perceptive few who thought they would sail through to capture the RVD championship. But, there was hardly anyone who thought the “capture” would be so awesome, so much better than expected. It began as a high school football season always does, in the punishing August sun. Twice a day practices were endured only by the stron¬ gest and most dedicated. Tempers sometimes grew short, and the pre-season was even more punishing than many players even ex¬ pected. Eventually, of course, the “pre” became “the” season, and the play¬ ers and coaches set out to fulfill the prediction made by Blair Kerkhoff of the Roanoke Times: “Pulaski County is favored to success¬ fully defend its Roan oke Valley District champion¬ ship.” Surpassing expectations began with Carroll County, which found itself the vic¬ tim of a 44-0 slaughter on a muggy August night. In that game, the Cougars tied the school record for first downs with 19, 13 in the first half, and came within only two points of its single game scoring record. It was a bet¬ ter beginning than anyone had really expected. An unknown confronted the team with the second game of the season. It was a case of hardly anyone know¬ ing what to expect. Anacos- tia High School, out of Washington, D. C., was an unknown quantity for the home team. Rumors about them abounded. According to legend, they were big, mean, and clearly unstop¬ pable. Anacostia’s players ar¬ rived early on game day, and decided to “tour” the school. It was a masterful attempt to “psych out” the home team. Big and tough, the enemy toured the locker banks, and many people be¬ lieved that to defeat them would be impossible. But, the Cougars were once again “even better than expect¬ ed” and blitzed the Indians, 24-0. How to explain their lopsided victory? Coach Joel Hicks said, “We were ready.” And the “country boys” made believers out of the Indians. And they stayed ready. Bluefield was the third vic¬ tim. It was the first victory ever over the Beavers, 14-7, and the Cougars returned home with number three tucked securely away. Week four brought a chal¬ lenge from district rival Cave Spring.

Even Better Than Expected unveiled a few surprises of their own and displayed a masterful passing attack. The Cougar defense pulled the game out, as junior Ricky Finley came up with a defensive gem, deflecting a pass away from the intended receiver. On second down, C. J. Sheppard sacked the quarterback for an eight yard loss, putting the ball out of range for a successful kick by Knight Nathan O’Dell. The Cougar defense held on for a 23-21 win. A 23 point second quarter lifted the “country boys” over a hapless Franklin County team that gained only six yards total offense in the first half. Not to be outdone by a defense that held the Eagles to minus 15 yards rushing for the game, the offense rushed for 196 yards and passed for 82 more. Week six brought district opponent William Fleming to County Stadium that was always packed long before kick-off time. The defending RVD champion Colonels were frustrated throughout the game by a superb Cou¬ gar kicking game that con¬ stantly kept Fleming in poor field position. Of course, the game was also a defensive work out, as the Colonel quarterbacks were sacked seven times for 48 yards, and, in one stretch, they were sacked three times in four plays. It was great. Even better than expected. Non-district opponent Amherst County provided the next meal. It was the first meeting ever between the two teams, and the Cou¬ gars promptly ripped the Lancers, 28-6, scoring on their first four possessions of the game. It was simply phenomenal, even better than anyone could have ex¬ pected. Winning, and win¬ ning big, was becoming a habit. How did the coach react? “I’m pleased . . . sat¬ isfied,” said Hicks, the man who really knew how good they were. Then, it was time for an¬ other feast on a district op¬ ponent. Away or at home, it seemed to make no differ¬ ence. It was on to Roanoke for the fourth shutout for the season as the Northside Vikings fell, 17-0. Senior Bil¬ ly Myers turned in a sterling performance as he ran for 25 yards, caught two passes for Laid Out Horizontally — Senior Mike Parks takes a dive, in an at¬ tempt to drag down Patrick Henry running back Robert Harley.

The Cougars defeated the Patriots 10-7 for the R.V.D. title. 29 yards, and had forty-one more return yards to go along with his third inter¬ ception of the season. Of the Northside victory, Myers said, “I believe this was our most solid performance on offense and defense so far.” One more game stood be¬ tween the Cougars and their destiny. Salem was win num¬ ber nine and suffered at the hands of a home team get¬ ting ready for number ten. Salem fell hard, 40-0, as both the Cougar offense and defense put on a spectacular show. Then, it was the end of the regular season, time for the Patrick Henry Patriots, and the coaches and team rea¬ died themselves for the challenge of the season. All season long, the two teams had been ranked one and two, each gobbling up oppo¬ nents in preparation for “the title match.” At stake was the RVD title and the Cou¬ gars quest for a perfect sea¬ son. It didn’t come easily. PH grabbed a 7-3 lead, but the home, which all season had proved to be better than expected, once again rose to the challenge. After the Pa¬ triots grabbed the lead, the Cougars immediately drove 65 yards in only six plays for the winning score with 3:16 left in the third quarter. The game ended with chants of “state, state!”, and everyone who saw the game believed. Senior Robert Cody seemed to sum up the attitudes of his teammates when he said, “This is the best thing I’ve ever been a part of, but we ain’t finished yet. We’re going all the way!” They were not finished yet, as the following week brought the first playoff game to County Stadium. It was sort of like Anacostia all over again — an un¬ known rival from the north. This time, the unknown came in the form of the Fau¬ quier High School Falcons from Northern Virginia. As they had all season, the Cougar faithful lined up at the stadium gates as early as 4.00 for an 8:00 game. In the first round of the play¬ offs, their loyalty was re¬ warded by a 13-7 win over the tough Falcons. Victory number one on the way to a state championship was now history. Step two was a tough one. The Cougars had to travel to 230 Sports meet their next opponent, George Washington High School of Danville. Reports had come back about the southern enemy. They were known to be big, tough, and good, and they had gone through the regular season like a giant bulldozer, crush¬ ing everything in their path. There was now some fear mixed in with the self-confi¬ dence that had carried the Cougars to eleven victories. Like the Cougars, who had developed into a team that was even better than expected, G. W. was even more awesome than expect¬ ed. The visitors scored on their first possession of the game, but that was it. With seven points on the board for the Cougars, G. W. broke loose and scored 37 unan¬ swered points of their own. The same G. W. team would go on to capture the State AAA title with a 58-15 win over Lake Taylor. The sea¬ son which had been so much greater than expected was over and the season ended with tears in the eyes of coaches, players, and fans. But, it had been too great a season to be remembered only as “the time we were almost state champions.” There were records broken, and records set, there was media coverage unparal¬ leled in the history of the school, there was the first “student coach” ever in the history of the school in the person of senior Wayne Viers, who used up his play¬ er eligibility, but just wanted to be part of the team. And, most importantly, there de¬ veloped in the school and community a sense of “one¬ ness,” a shared goal and a team which had proved to be so much better than ex¬ pected. “Killer Swarm” — A host of Cougar defenders put the sting on a William Fleming ball carrier, as the Cougars defeated Fleming 21-0 for Home¬ coming. , Strati Quart! head! theirs lin (fl St Work — Fi iifer ami licks plan inst Frank- f S VARSITY FOOTBALL PCHS OPPONENT 44 Carroll County 0 24 Anacostla 0 14 Bluefield 7 23 Cave Spring 21 37 Franklin County 8 21 William Fleming 0 28 Amherst County 6 17 Northside 0 44 Salem 7 10 Patrick Henry 7 Final Record 10-0 13 ’Fauquier County 7 7 G.W.

Offense hold their hands high in joy after scoring a touchdown against Princeton. On The Line The Junior Varsity Cou¬ gars were essentially robbed of three of their games dur¬ ing their football season. Three of the Roanoke Valley district schools cancelled their J. V. programs. After finding that Cave Spring, Sa¬ lem, and Northside would not be participating, the young team was left with a season made up of five games, playing William Fleming twice. The season was disappointing for this reason and as Coach Tim Cordle was quoted, “The team played much better than its 2-3 record would im¬ ply.” Two of the five games scheduled were away; and due to the short season, some players were enabled to dress out for Varsity games. Although their sea¬ son was short, the J. V. pro¬ gram is essential to the whole football program. These guys practice with the varsity; they are the lucky men who get to run plays against the Varsity de¬ fense. The freshmen team was more successful. Freshmen adjusted to the high school and to high school football in the R. V. D. well. Ending with a 5-2 record, the youn¬ gest of the Cougar football den members saw defeat to only two teams, Northside and Hidden Valley. Although the Football program believes in a total team philosophy, two out¬ standing individual efforts were recognized by Coach McMillan. These were full¬ back Jonny Myers and line¬ backer Brian Gordan. All in Silence — The freshmen foot¬ ball team pauses for a brief prayer before taking to the field. Coming in for the Sack — J. W.

As the girls’ in¬ door track team had just be¬ gun, these terms were not so familiar. For the first time ever, there was a girls’ track team that could participate in events inside the school. Even though there were some girls who ran in out¬ door track in the spring, bad weather and cold days could no longer put a damper on their enthusiasm. For many, having an in¬ door track team was a bless¬ ing. Trudy Steger said, “It was a totally new experi¬ ence. It really helped me a lot in conditioning for out¬ door track.” The girls averaged fifth place out of seven teams dur¬ ing the year. Three members qualified for regional compe¬ tition. Ellen Harvey, who qualified for state also, was the district champion in the high jump at five feet even. Trudy Steger placed second in the shot put with thirty- four feet three and three- fifths inches. Valerie Akers was in third place in the low hurdles with the time of 9.3 seconds. For the girls, it was often a problem to find practice space. Numerous times, they had to run relays, jump hurdles, and throw the shot put in such places as the lobby, between the doors, and in the halls. Coach Lou¬ isa Chrisley added, “It was a real learning experience.” After Coach Chrisley’s ill¬ ness, Coach Diane Wright finished out the season with the girls. The boys’ track team once again had an impressive re¬ cord. Their average for the most part was third place. Captain Tommy Kirk was outstanding in the two-mile run while Tee Tolbert was outstanding in the one mile. Co-Captain Phillip McDan¬ iel was known for his nice performance in the thou¬ sand yard run, and freshman Richard Martin ran very well. For Tee Tolbert, the boys’ indoor track team was like a second family. “Everyone was really close and got along really well together.” When Coach David Wright commented on the team as a whole he said, “We have ex¬ cellent depth. Some of the freshmen and sophomores that I have coached have great potential to be great runners. They started out slow, but improved tremen¬ dously. The future looks very promising.” 234 Sports Laugh Trax — Tee Tolbert takes time out from the pressures of com¬ petition to share a joke with Coach Wright, David Harmon, and Chuck Daughtery.

For some, it meant boxing or football ti¬ tles, but for a special group of sixteen girls this meant recapturing the RVD title from Cave Spring. This feat hadn’t been done since 1977 when the PCHS gymnastics team defeated Cave Spring after their ten-year posses¬ sion of the title. Coach Betty Holcomb said, “If we per¬ form well, we have a good chance of dethroning Cave Spring.” The ’82 team had the same drive as the ‘77 team and the same determination except they had a little bad luck on the side. The Cou¬ gars started their season against Patrick Henry which dealt them a disap¬ pointing defeat by only three points — 83.45 to 86.85. The girls strived to overcome this and went on to win the next four matches by domi¬ nating the meets. The gym¬ nasts defeated Salem, Franklin Co. and Christians- burg by no less than ten points in each meet and swept the first two places in each also. Then came two heart¬ breaking meets in which the Cougars lost to Blacksburg and Cave Spring. Yet this didn’t stop the girls as they came back to defeat the Franklin Co. Eagles by 33 points. This brought the gymnasts an outstanding 5-3 record and a fine third place in the RVD. The team was led by four highly talented seniors in Carole Abbott, Te¬ resa Dalton, Tara Jones, and Shirley Perry who all placed high in all the meets. Four gymnasts placed in districts to qualify them for regionals. Carole Abbott placed 5th on beam in dis¬ tricts and 9th on beam in re- gionals. Shirley Perry placed 2nd in the all-around competition in districts and 9th in floor during regionals. Several other girls placed in districts with Bonnie Bird taking 5th on bars and Tere¬ sa Danner taking 4th on bars. Yet with all these things, a team can’t be good without closeness and friendship. These were two qualities that the team had plenty of, for the girls were always be¬ hind each other and like a very close knit family where criticism and support were shown. Senior Carole Abbott said, “Gymnastics has meant a lot to me during high school. Not only did I love the sport, but I also loved being a part of the team. We were always so close it was more like a fam¬ ily. Everybody pulled for each other. My senior year has really been the best for me.” Support and encourage¬ ment were two positive things that were displayed between team members for during the summer of ’82 Freshman Eva Altizer un¬ derwent open-heart surgery. After her operation, she was told she would be unable to participate in any strenuous activities for several months, and this included gymnastics. For some, this would have meant the end of their gymnastics career, but not for Eva. She was deter¬ mined to report for practice in the fall and with the sup¬ port of her friends and fam¬ ily, she made the team. Eva commented, “At the beginning of the season I had a lot of trouble getting back into shape and doing simple things like walk¬ overs. Then as the season progressed, I began to real¬ ize that my endurance and strength had improved since the operation. After several months of practice and the support of my teammates, I was able to compete in the meets and I even placed sev¬ eral times. Maybe next sea¬ son will prove to be even better than this year.” Even though the gymnas¬ tics team didn’t achieve their goal of recapturing the RVD title, they did accom¬ plish a fine third place in districts and an outstanding 5-3 record. With twelve tal¬ ented young ladies returning for next year, the Cougars plan to give Cave Spring an¬ other battle for the title in the years to come. 236 Sports Reaching For The Sky — While per¬ forming a niovcTrftorace atul Beauty, iHi3t i( ? r Tari iaixsJ.au.: a ceiling during M.Uie— ht r balance bc m With a Little Luck, and a lot of guts, sophomore Eva Altizer pre¬ pares for her last tumble run in dis¬ tricts.

Staying On Top In order to be the best, one would have to display determination, stamina and constant dedication. The Ninth Grade Wrestling Team had all these qualities and managed to conquer the sea¬ son with an undefeated re¬ cord. The 1982-83 season was the Wrestling Team’s second year with an all-win, no loss record. They also placed first in the Roanoke Valley District Tournament. Al¬ though the team defeated all their opponents, there were times when the victory was close. In the first match of the season against An¬ drew Lewis, the Cougars found their opponent a little tough, but came through with a winning score of 42- 39. Although all matches were won by a team effort, there were several outstand¬ ing wrestlers who stood out with superior records, these were: Joe Morehead at 89, James Hardy at 77, Randall Morris at 98, Ronald Covey at 134, and Pat Hill at 126 weight classes. Morehead, Hardy, and Morris also placed first in the RVD. Freshman wrestling was not always just freshmen wrestling. The team was composed of sixth through ninth graders; some had been wrestling on the team for years while in middle school. The younger wres¬ tlers had greatly benefited from this experience be¬ cause it prepared them for future wrestling. The fresh¬ man team is a great feeding program for the Varsity Wrestling Team, and many start as sophomores on the Varsity team. Coach Dickie McMillian commented, “A varsity wrestling team is only as good as its feeder program. Our program has been the best in the RVD for the past two years.” Even though the team’s season was undefeated, it was an uphill climb. Under the coaching staff of two dedicated people, the wres¬ tling team is looking for¬ ward to its next season and it promises to be another successful season. “Our wrestlers and coach Reggie Slaughter have once again done an outstanding job. Their dedication to the sport of wrestling is admira¬ ble,” added Coach Wayne Jenkins. 238 Sports Cradle Rock — Joe Morehead suc¬ cessfully moves his opponent into a cradle pin.

Neither were there loud thumps as bodies hit the floor of a boxing-type ring, or wrestlers with hair colors of all varieties. It was real wrestling, high school wrestling by the rules. It was a season that began strong and continued in that way until the Cougar grappiers were crowned RVD champions, placed sec¬ ond in the North-west Re¬ gion Tournament and sent six wrestlers to state compe¬ tition. Coach Dickie McMillan’s wreslters began their season as if they really meant busi¬ ness. In defeating their first three opponents, the team accumulated 140 points to the opposition’s 45. The sea¬ son’s fourth match brought a loss to district opponent Patrick Henry. A win fol¬ lowed, but the team then dropped two district match¬ es in a row, one of them to arch rival William Fleming, perennial district champs. But, throughout the season, McMillan asked of his team only that they be ready come tournament time. After dropping two in a row, the Cougars decided to “get ready.’’ In a second meeting with Fleming, the team achieved a solid victo¬ ry, 36-27. The remainder of the season was a warm-up, getting ready for the tourna¬ ments ahead. On Valentine’s Day, the RVD tournament was in its last stage. From early morning weigh-ins un¬ til nearly mid-night, the bat¬ tle was fought. When the dust had settled, the Cou¬ gars emerged with their first district title ever. By a single point, the victory came, 143- 142, over powerhouse Flem¬ ing. Three tough matches set¬ tled the tournament for the Varsity Wrestling 241 Get Down co„ td matmen as four-year start¬ ing senior Tony McCurry won in the 105 class, Anthony Lewis won a major decision at 112, and David Morchead claimed a victory at 119. Moreliead’s points gave the team all they needed to go over the top. The defeat of powerful Fleming was espe¬ cially satisfying to McCurry who had watched the Colo¬ nels take it all for three years. After the win, McCurry said, “I went out in style and so did the team.” It was a time for tears and a feeling of satisfaction. The sweat, hunger pangs, and grueling work outs had fi¬ nally reaped the biggest re¬ ward of all. Then, it was on to regional competition with the Cougars placing an ad¬ mirable second place in the two-day tournament. It was the highest finish ever for Cougar wrestlers. It was a season that was deeply satisfying for all those involved, especially for McMillan who had been with the Cougar wrestling program through thick and thin. To his wrestlers, McMillan was more than a coach. Sophomore Richie Hasson said, “McMillan is not only a good coach but a great friend to everyone on the team. When we need him, he is always there. He laughs with us when we’re happy and when we’re down he’s there to build us up.” It was a season for reach¬ ing goals, both individual and team. McMillan said, “We wanted this so bad.” The} wanted “it” enough to get “it”, the best wrestling season ever! JP mrUu oStrikc — Junior | .Anthony LcwC prepare for the taWcNlown and two points.

It was anything and everything from the beat of the pep band to the beat of the play¬ ers’ feet on the floor. It was varsity basketball! Pulaski County High School’s Varsity Basketball Squad began its season with echoes of the shortcomings of last season’s squad, ball handling and outside shoot¬ ing. Coach Wiley comment¬ ed in the SOUTHWEST TIMES, “Those are our big¬ gest concerns ... I’m confi¬ dent well be better, but I don’t know yet how much better.” In the opening game of the season against Cave Spring the Cougars started off 15 points behind at the end of the first quarter. The turn¬ around came with only two seconds left ‘til the half. A Johnny Thomas steal and feed to Mike Porter for a bank shot gave the Cougars a 30-29 lead. The Cougars came back after the half to continue their lead to a final victory of 72-56. The second game of the season found the varsity squad opposing the Blacks¬ burg Indians, former coach¬ ing territory of Head Coach Allen Wiley. The Cougars kept the lead for the entire game; however, poor free- throw shooting allowed the Cougars only a meager 3- point victory. During the game against the Salem Spartans, PCHS had five players score eight or more points. Team bal¬ ance was the factor that lead the Cougars to a 64-60 victory. A fourth straight win came against the Beavers of I Bluefield. Forward Todd Hopkins and guard Mike Porter combined for 51 points to lead the Cougars ; 67-59 over Bluefield. The next week took the Cougars deeper into West Virginia to face the Owls of Big Creek. Coach Wiley felt this game showed the best efforts from the squad so far with a 95-76 victory “Slow” was the name of the game in the bout against William Fleming.

This caught the Cougars off guard and was the main rea¬ son why the Cougars fell 36-31. Hopkins and Porter pulled together once more to rally the Cougars to a 68-61 win over Franklin County. Dan Callahan, SOUTH¬ WEST TIMES Sports Editor summed up the Greenbrier East game by stating, “It wasn’t pretty by any stretch of the imagination, and it didn’t please head coach Allen Wiley even a little bit.” A lackadaisical Cougar squad still came out on top 74-61. In direct contrast to the Greenbrier games, PCHS met their biggest foe of the season with intense enthusi¬ asm. Against Patrick Henry, the Cougars gave their all but just wouldn’t drop as The Rafters are the Limit — Mike Porter is flanked by two Northside players as he goes for the goal. Perfect Ten — Junior Todd Hopkins goes for a sure two as he gets a lay¬ up against Salem. Hanging was evident with the final score being Patriots 64, Cou¬ gars 58. The Cougars traveled to Patrick Henry the ninth time in a row on Patriot ter¬ ritory. A game dominated by foul trouble left the Cougars defeated 70-54. A surprising loss befell the Cougars as they met the Salem Spartans in their home court. This upset dealt a very meaningful blow to the PCHS district standing. In the bout that followed against Northside, Ivan Shell who was in the process of a “slam-dunk” broke his wrist. He had come off the bench to score seventeen points to lead PCHS 84-64 over Northside. Ending the regular sea¬ son, the Cougars faced a grueling schedule of four games in four days. Big Creek came first. The Cou¬ gars toppled the Owls 95-87. The second match up found the Cougars having to play five players and two refer¬ ees. Greenbrier East fell once again to the Cougars 63-60. Number three on the road to Fleming brought heartbreak to the Cougars. A 56-54 defeat dropped the Cougars into a final fourth place in the RVD standings. Number four was a one-sid¬ ed game with the Cougars coming out on top 92-76 against Bluefield.

V J Varsity Basketball 247 Fouling Out Success is not always mea¬ sured by the number of wins in a season. Skills learned such as team work, sports¬ manship, and individual skills also played a top role in measuring the success of the ninth grade and junior varsity basketball teams. Ninth grade basketball gave freshmen an early op¬ portunity to develop their skills while learning to com¬ pete. Although these young men were the ‘low men’ on the totem pole, they played well at times but were un¬ able to pull it all together to make up a win. Taking this in stride, they gave a good effort the entire year. During their first game of the season, these inexperi¬ enced Cougars gave Cave Spring a real run for the money, scoring more field goals, but losing at the foul line. This style continued on much throughout the season first playing well then fall¬ ing short in the end. The junior varsity basket¬ ball team ended its season with a record of seven wins and twelve losses. Coach Mickey Hickman said of the season, “This year’s team has played well in almost every ball game — even the ones when we lost.” Coach Hickman named several players who were in¬ strumental in making the 1982-83 season a successful one. “Brian Kyle has been my most consistent player and will probably be help to the varsity.” Success was realized by j these hard-working teams; success that was not mea¬ sured by numbers.

They finished with a final record of 4-12, the most successful record ever achieved by the Girls’ Basketball Team at PCHS. The team consisted of eleven members. Six of them were freshmen. Fresh¬ man Leigh Ann Fagg started many games during the sea¬ son and added points to the scoreboard. Sherry Linkous also a freshman, started during several games. “Ev¬ ery individual has im¬ proved, especially the fresh- men,” said Coach Rod Reedy. “Freshman playing quality promises a strong, experienced team for next year’s season.” It was the fourth year on the team for seniors Debbie Frye and Alisa Barnette. They were experienced and knew the finer points of the game. It was Junior Mi¬ chelle Crockett’s third year on the team. “I am very proud of our achievements during the season and I feel that we can do even better in the future.” Sometimes basketball was not always what it seemed. During the course of a game against Patrick Hen¬ ry, one of the players was in¬ jured and had to leave. The team members through their concern, accompanied her to the ambulance leaving the coach with an empty bench. The coach was unaware of this and was very surprised when he turned to his bench to substitute and found no one there.

Girls’ Basketball 251 Built It Up, To The Top is one of the most famous cheers the Varsity Football squad does during the sea¬ son. Here they all pile on top of each other as they perform the cheer. COUGARS was one word that ev¬ erybody in the county knew to mean PCHS sports. Here the Varsi¬ ty Football Cheerleaders and Varsi¬ ty Basketball Cheerleaders alter¬ nate in the routine COUGARS. This was one of their favorite cheers to help get the crowd “into PCHS sports.” Cheer Energy Cheer energy! That’s what it took to be a cheer¬ leader and for those juniors and seniors that was exactly what they had, energy. It started in the summer when many of the girls attended cheerleading camp and it took energy to last through the long hours of practice and the sore muscles. Then, they spent hours after school practicing every cheer they had learned over the summer. The Varsity Cheerleaders were a select few who were the best in what they did. The cheerleaders brought the football players cookies and Kool-Aid after every practice. They cheered to roaring crowds in the gym and on the football field where over 12,000 fans turned out for the Patrick Henry game, the largest crowd the girls had ever seen and they kept them fired-up until the last sec¬ ond! Each cheerleader took turns making the locker stickers each week, they or¬ ganized pep rallies, pro¬ grams and numerous other activities. They gave every drop of energy they had into keeping the crowds at bas¬ ketball and the football games on their toes. They traveled to all the games in cramped vans and withstood the severe cold just to support their team, using “Cheer Energy.” Regi¬ na Brumfield said, “When the Varsity Basketball cheerleading squad began practice in June, the aim of the squad was to perfect our routines and to be a very close squad. I have never worked with a more ambi¬ tious cheerleading squad since I have been a cheer¬ leader. Each person on the squad was eager to learn and help each other. As a cheerleader it means you have a lot of responsibilities to accept . One of the hardest things to do during basket¬ ball season is to cheer twice a week and maintain high academic grades.” When one mentions Varsi¬ ty Cheerleaders, people automatically think football cheerleaders, but this is not the case. There are also Var¬ sity Basketball cheer¬ leaders as well. They prac¬ ticed just as much as every¬ one else and then some. The girls had to overcome a lot of obstacles, such as being in a confined area to cheer, or having to put aside the game and cheer with all they had, even if the team was losing. Then, when it was all over, they put down their pom-pons and went home. At the athletic banquets all they received was a bar or a plaque, not a scholarship or an award for being the best. All they received was the joy and excitement of those moments that they remem- j ber, and of course, keeping the crowds fired up. All this , combined caused enough en¬ ergy to help keep the county going from week to week. That was “Cheer Energy!” 252 Sports Varsity Football Cheerleaders: (Front row) Dana Crouse, Michelle Willis, Carolyn Johnson, Sarah Pace, Carole Abbott, Captain.

Let’s Go Seniors! Senior Varsity Cheerleaders try to get the senior section of the gym to give all they’ve got to try and win the spirit stick. The Spirit Stick is a wand colored with burgundy and gold and given to the class with the most spirit during a pep rally. Ready O.K. — That’s how the cheerleaders always start out their cheers. Here the Varsity Basketball squad prepare to do a cheer for the basketball team. The cheers arc usually started by the captain and they help to fire the fans up to sup¬ port the teams.

I’m not sure, but it is a pretty one. Here the J.V. cheerleaders make a triangular shape during the first basketball pep rally of the season. We’re Movin’ and We’re Groovin’ — The Freshman Chcerlcadlng Squad performs in front of the school during a pep rally for the wrestlers and basketball Teams. “Sparklers” Sparklers? You know those little metal type things that you light on the 4th of July. The things that make you yell and get all ex¬ cited. Well, that’s what the J.V. and Freshmen cheer¬ leaders were. Sparklers! The cheerleaders were very cheerful and happy-go- lucky all the time and helped to bring happiness into the hearts of the specta¬ tors. The girls did just what the varsity did except in front of fewer fans. The girls worked a lot of hours after school and even went to several cheerlead¬ ing camps in Roanoke. The freshmen had to learn to work with each other and cheer before larger crowds of people. Kathy Gooch said, “At first everyone was a little nervous, then as we got to know each other bet¬ ter we became more like sis¬ ters than girls from rival schools. Our first game made everyone have butter¬ flies, but we overcame it lat¬ er as we cheered more. It was a new experience for all of us; we had to cheer before larger crowds than we’d seen before. Yet after sever¬ al games and practices, we became more of a squad.” All in all, the J.V. Squad had an excellent year and they learned more as they went on into the season. Johnna Snell was quoted as saying, “We had 4 new ad¬ ditions to the 8 returning cheerleaders from last year. The first week of practice seemed as though things would never work out; but after weeks and weeks of practicing and training dur¬ ing the summer at the Gold¬ en Eagle Cheerleading Camp, we finally came through. We also came through while at camp re¬ ceiving the first place tro¬ phy. Cheering isn’t just wear¬ ing a mini skirt and sweater but also having to wear a smile year round and having to be a spirit spreader. Now that you have an idea of what a sparkler is, aren’t you glad that these girls were on our side helping to make this the best season ever? When you have a group of girls like the J.V. and Freshman cheer¬ leaders, you’re bound to have one person stand out among them all, but one didn’t. The entire group stood out and that’s what made them unique. They were all involved in getting the same result and all tried to reach the same goal of getting the crowd be¬ hind the Cougars. This is what made the J.V. and Freshmen cheerleaders tru¬ ly sparklers. J.V. Freshman Cheerleaders 255 We’re Right Behind You — Hudson Chevrolet proclaims the Cougars RVD champs of 1982 as they stand behind the Cougars faithfully. Good business, bad business, on sale, limited supply — without stores, restaurants, and gas stations, student life was lifeless. The school educated, but the community entertained. With no community, students had no outlet for the frustrations caused by tests, deadlines, and term papers, and there was an unlimited supply of those. The businesses of Pulaski County contributed to the school in many ways, such as the DECA Spring Fash¬ ion Show and the Boosters Club. Not only did they help fund school activi¬ ties, but they also displayed their Cou¬ gar Pride by putting up banners and signs to support the Cougars. When the weekend dawned, the stu¬ dents hit the stores. Whether it was time to buy new school clothes or mun- chies for a party, it could be done with the help of the stores. The weekend was the time to do it and the communi¬ ty was where it happened! Supportive of The Cougars — The county busi¬ nesses really got into “Cougar Mania.” Many businesses plastered Cougar signs or Cougar paws in their windows, but the Cougar Corner went all the way with naming the store after the Cougars. 256 Advertisements - t Advertisements 257 258 Advertisements We’re Proud Of OUR COUGARS COUNTRY CLIPPER Located on U.S. Rt. 11 Dublin 5 Operators to Serve You, No Appointment Necessary.

All I know is that I’m a better human being.” McCambridge, Kirk 60, 137, 203 McClanahan, Chad 152, 233 McClanahan, Henry 16, 97, 180 McClanahan, Jill 137, 180, 184, 194 McClanahan, Mike 180 McClanahan, Pat 28, 98, 103, 228 McCoy, Alice 137, 194 McCoy, Gary 163, 180, 181 McCoy, Maureen 98, 190 McCoy, Mitchell 152 McCoy, Steven 98 McCrary, Angela 44, 137, 222 McCraw, Derrick 15, 137, 200 McCraw, Donald 122, 200, 218 McCrorey, Melissa 137, 174, 216, 227, 234 McCurry, Sharon 182, 194 McCurry, Tony 95, 98, 240, 242, 243 McDaniel, Karen 152, 177, 193 McDaniel, Mary 122, 203 McDaniel, Phillip 122, 224, 235 McDaniel, Stefania 137 McElroy, John 152 McGhee, Mark 152, 177 McGhee, Michael 152, 177, 199 McGinley, Mr. Bob 286 McGinnes, Melissa 122 McGlothin, Gene 98 McGlothin, Malana 137 McGlothin, Pat 163 McKinster, Charles 16, 98, 178, 179, 228 McLawhorn, Joel 152, 172, 173 McMillan, Cynthia 98 McMillian, Dickie 38, 162, 163, 233, 242 McMillian, Jane 21, 114, 122, 174, 183, 185, 216, 227, 284 McMillian.

On February 17th for the first time Pulaski County students were dismissed early from school at 9:30. For two straight days the snow poured down without a stop leaving the county, state, and eastern half of the nation under a blanket of snow from lVz to 3 deep. The snow was followed by a week of “shoveling out” that made clear paths for returning buses, students, and workers. St. Clair, Terrance 139, 228 ST.

It was no ordinary year. Actually, it was an extraordinary year, jam-packed with events that could send you to mind-boggling heights and at times, deep, dark sinkholes. It was the year E. T. phoned home, and 1170 NFL players went on strike. Here on the home front, fifty- five undefeated Cougars set 10,000 people on the edge of their seats at County Stadium. Somewhere in the nation, seven people died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol, and in our own backyard, two fellow classmates met an unfortunate fate at the hands of methadone. In the White House, President Reagan put the squeeze on inflation, while at the Golden Gal¬ axy in Radford, teenagers poured paychecks and allowances into Tron and Donkey Kong. The new “video craze” became as All- American as hotdogs and blue jeans. The typi¬ cal student’s agenda usually included six hours of school along with a few hours at the local arcade. The truly addicted player could recite each and every game found in the “Gal¬ axy” or “Cosmos.” Quarter after quarter was spent on old and new favorites such as Pac- Man, Frogger, and Burgertime. Most students were far from reluctant at letting the games annihilate their allowances. Older genera¬ tions found the constant bleep-blip-blam a headache, but to the student, the computer fix” was a normal, almost indispensable ele¬ ment of the day. Wintertime came and went in a flurry of snow days and snow shovels. When it finally did hit, it hit hard. Students and faculty found themselves suffering from anxiety wondering about the far-off possibility of a long summer to close a school year that began “too early.” Fortunately, for those involved, the weather leveled off in February changing “cabin fe¬ ver” to “spring fever.” cont’d It’s downhill all the way.

Mini-skirts and camouflage pants invad¬ ed the halls along with short hair and double- pierced ears. A few of the more conservative stuck to wool sweaters and button-downs. For some still feeling comfortable with the old fa¬ vorites, there was always an alligator on every chest and “Levis” on every pocket. Some fads lingered on and some bit the dust. Students “got into” New Wave, heavy metal, and the sock-hop syndrome known as “jam.” After all, “Planet Rocks” weren’t really found anywhere on earth and Molly Hatchet wasn’t really an ax murderess. Valley Girls of San Fernando totally came and left with the production of Frank and Moon Zappa’s “Val¬ ley Girl” — a parody of the style that made “fer surr” for sure. But, whatever the case, personalities and people got together and “got into it.” They par- tied together, went to concerts, played togeth¬ er, and lent a helping hand. After all, what were friends for? People were inseparable from each other. United we stood, and undi¬ vided we fell, but either way, we “got into it” in a special way. V. The Wall.
