Assistant principals, Alphonzo Hamilton and Delmer Botkin had their hands full again this year with the job of disciplining the rowdy students attending Lee. Heading this small but powerful group was Charles Kurtz, a veteran at his job.

While Virginia Martin would rather be The Barefoot Contessa she settles with some wild, wild socks. Each pronoun should agree with their antecedent. Just between you and I, case is important. A preposition is a poor word to end a sen- tence with. Verbs has to agree with their subjects. Don't use no double negatives. A uriter mustn't shift your point of view. When dangling, don't use participles. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should. Don't write a run-on sentence because it is difficult when you got to punctuate it so it makes sense when the reader reads what you wrote. About sentence fragments. Directors—17 Mrs. Daniels Escorts 17 Students Overseas Our English Department at Lee was in- volved in great variety of different pastimes including traveling and sewing.

Linda Hickey coached the Lee High Forensics team and acted as dr. Class Advisor when not busy teaching Geometry and Consumer Math. Even though Jay Higgs realizes that teaching isn’t always a Picnic, he seems to be enjoying himself as he tidies his desk between classes. As Linda Hickey grades a student's paper, she puzzles over Question 7 and tries to decipher the pupil’s writing. 20-—Directors The photographer catches James Christy, Terminal Man, with a look of bewilderment as he snaps the picture.

The Social Science Dept. was made up this year of eight excellent teachers. Four of these were Ned Bonfoey, Jim Diggs, Sarah Palmer, and Don Hamilton. Graduated from Lynchburg College, Mr. Bonfoey taught American History during the past year and kept the sophomores in line as their advisor. Sarah Palmer, a government teacher, received her degree from Radford College. Don Hamilton always managed to keep the attention of his students by shar- ing stories of his previous teaching ex- perience at the correctional center. Mr. Diggs taught another generation of stu- dents World and American History. 26—Directors History teacher, Don Hamilton, apparently caught up in The Paper Chase, looks up from his work slightly frustrated.

Food Service employees also included Roxie Puffen- barger, Kathleen Jarvis, and Dorothy Woodzell, while Nancy Heyden acted as the Cafeteria Manager. As Marty Giesen meets a student in the halls, she gives her an exciting account of the movie she re- cently saw; Phantasm.

Free Fare, a band touring Virginia, gave one of the first assemblies. It was discovered that several of the Lee students including Matt Sterrett and Wendy Shircliff had acting talent when they performed their version of Star Wars. The band also played several popular songs and had a few other skits. The Pep Rally for Homecoming was one of the best assemblies. All the cheerleaders helped coach the guys so they were ready to pep the students spirits up. Seniors and Juniors tied for first place and the Stage Band also played.

This year’s Varsity Girl’s Basketball season went a full twenty games and five tournament games. The coach for this year’s team was again Toni Roby. A strong feeling of hers was that to win, you must have the desire along with the ability. This proved so true especially in the away game with Harrisonburg when the Lee Ladies just won with a final score of 28-27. Many returning Seniors played with confidence and experience but did not fill the team, as the rest were pulled from Seniors to Freshmen. Three captains were chosen this year; Sandy Durrette, Joyce Witherspoon, and Beth Wood. They led a team of fifteen girls in warm-ups and team spirit. Spirit was not lacking on the bench either. Many times, the five girls out on the floor could hear their enthusiastic team- mates and coach. There was even a crowd at some of the games, which shows the rise of women’s sports. The Lee Ladies only lost three district games, twice to the Knights of Turner Ashby and once to the Gobblers of Broadway. In District Tourna- ment play, Lee overcame the Lexington Hurricanes and the Harrisonburg Blue Streaks, but again lost to T.A. In Regional Tournament, the Lee Ladies won against Warren County and later to Culpepper. Lee possessed two top scorers, Joyce ‘Witherspoon and Sandy Durrette.

The biggest win was against the tough squad of Covington. It was won in the final minutes of the last quarter as Lee pulled it out 28-23. There were many tough district opponents also this year, but the Harrisonburg Blue Streaks were the toughest, who later won this year’s Regionals. This year’s Head Coach was again Deke Summers, who led last year’s team to the Region II Championship. He was helped this year by Coach Carter, Coach Quinlivan, and Coach Tetley.

Spirit week included a crazy hat day, a clash day, a 50’s day and a Blue and White day. On hat day there was everything from what looked like a bird’s nest to safari hats. For 50’s day the students dressed up and turned out as hoods and bobby soxers. On the day of the big game a Pep Rally was held in which the Stage Band played a few selections and the JV and Varsity cheerleaders acted out a couple of skits. These included a Hee-Haw skit and a special skit by the Varsity . cheerleaders. In the boy cheerleading com- - petition the juniors and seniors took the prize. A Homecoming Parade was held before the football game and the junior — class was awarded first place in the float competition. The float had a huge 1980 class ring and alumni from Lee. The Fighting Leemen won the football game against Lexington by a score of 27-0.

The classes com- peted to see which one had the best fighting Leemen spirit in yelling contests with the famous “Icky, Dicky, Doo Wah!” The junior cheerleaders later turned this chant around and “Wah Doo, Dicky Icky” was the result. The juniors and seniors tied for first place in the guy's cheerleading competition — the juniors danced to the tune of “Flashlight’’ and the seniors mimicked the brothers of Animal House with their togas and sexy legs. Mrs. Hickey joined the JV cheerleaders in a knee- slappin’ skit with plenty of country humor. The Varsity cheerleaders crazy antics received much response from the student audience.

Richard Sorey, a Dis- trict Champion and 5th in Regionals, went to competition in the Blind Olympics. Steve Cope, also a District Champion, was 3rd in Regionals and 7th in State. Other outstanding wrestlers included Mokey Wilson, Brad Kurtz, Steve Smith, Jay Robinson, and Rob Wright, who all placed 3rd in the District under their specific weight class.

Hatcher Leads Leemen Through Another Season Once again, the Leemen varsity basketball players proved themselves to be a top- rated team for the Valley District. Coach Paul Hatcher led the team through a good season overall, as they ended with a 17-7 record. Even the few losses they had were very close, as the Leemen put forth top performance for every game. In the start of the season they defeated their opponents in nine out of the ten games. Towards the middle of the schedule several unexpected injuries and illnesses made a difficult situation for the team, and Coach Hatcher was forced to try new combinations of players. This could account for the losses in this critical time of the season. But when the games got tough, the Leemen got tougher!

Lee High Conquers W.A., Cave Springs Lee High’s superior ability and teamwork were clearly evident at two particularly out- standing games. The Leemen walked off with victories at Western Albemarle and at home against Cave Springs. This ex- cellence carried over to both confronta- tions with rival, Harrisonburg High. Loyal Lee supporters stood in colossal lines for over 45 minutes just to get into these games. Although the Leemen fell to the Streaks twice in regular season play, the fans were never disappointed with Lee’s performance. These nights proved to be the most challenging for the Leemen, with Blue Streak Ralph Sampson dominating both the offense and defense. Despite the 7 3 center, the Leemen managed to hold their own and produced a solid effort. Leading the mighty Leemen in offensive play were seniors Mike Madden and Mike O'Hare. .

Mike Madden Leaves His Mark At Lee The Valley District and Regional tourna- ments climaxed a thrilling and memorable 1978-79 basketball season. Again the Leemen displayed excellence in competi- tion. For the tenth straight year, the Leemen made it through the District games to the Regionals. At times, they may not have played as well as we knew they could, but they got it together when it was necessary. The tournament game _ with Loudoun County was intense but satisfying when an energized Lee team overcame a nineteen point deficit to gain a berth to the semi-finals of the Regionals. Two records were broken this year as Mike Madden completed his basketball career at Lee. Mike recovered 921 rebounds against many tough opponents inlcuding a 7’ 3 center. He was also named all-time scorer for the Valley district with a total of 1763 points. Faithful Lee students supported the team throughout the season. They were proud of the effort apparently put forth by each player. Even at times when the players were slacking off, the enthusiasm of the crowd brought them back to life.

The band also gave an excellent stage show which included music from the early beginnings of rock to modern day numbers. Though some found the heat un- bearable inside, many couples retreated to the cool outside air to enjoy the starlit night. And for those who felt pangs of hunger during the evening, a whole array of fine foods catered by Viglione’s Restaurant was readily available. The Prom decorations were beautiful too, and added a special touch to the former SMA Mess Hall. Flowers enlivened the entire scene and a fountain with live and_ kicking goldfish had even been constructed. In be- tween the breaks of the band, the Senior Court was announced. The Prom Court was also presented, and Liz Olmsted and Steve Altizer were crowned Queen and King. Grayson Gilbert and Carole Barker were crowned Junior prince and princess.

of Robert E. Lee, I hope you have and will enjoy this edition of Leeway for a long time. It's been a rather strange and hard year full of adjusting, learning, teaching, and with many ups and downs. But for the most part, the Leeway staff will remember the best times weve had, and to those special people, I'd like to single out and thank. Beth, I don’t know what we would have done without all your hard work and cute jokes; for sure, the book wouldn’t have turned out as well! You’ve just been the greatest. Cynthia — thanks for putting up with my nagging about assignments and working to meet deadlines. And the best of luck next year as the hailed Editor-In-Chief! Tonya, I know weve fought a long battle all year, but I think “we done good!” As the only other experienced staff member, thanks for all the ideas and reminders, they really helped a lot. And Renee, I only wish you could have started out helping during first semester — you're a great worker and a tremendous help. To Alonzo, Jim, and Mark, thanks so much only begins to say how much your work was appreciated! And finally, to Ms. Macomber, I’m really going to miss you . .. thanks for talking and listen- — ing to me, helping out with problems about annual or just anything! It was hard starting out so unknowing, but you've been great as an advisor and a friend all year. Good luck with future yearbook staffs, | know you all will do a fantastic job! And thanks to Karen Hamrick and to all of the others that have helped me and the rest of the staff this year. See ya at the movies! .
