No homeroom caused problems for students Who needed an extra few min- utes to Wake up or catch up on unfinished homework. Since there was no home- room, second period be- came the time for announce- ments, activity periods and assemblies. There Were many Changes. The work of one man Set the tone for the year and made students and teachers look at ways Wwe could be ‘Doin’ Things Different. CONTENTS STUDENT LIFE SPORTS PEOPLE ACADEMICS INDEX CLOSING A different leader, John Brock, the SCA pres- ident, declares the Leemen are Number | as he leads the students in spirited Cheers at one of the many pep rallies that were held in the fall. A different group of students, the Class of 1992, yelled out their graduation number at Freshman Orientation Day to begin to show their school spirit. A different man and principal, Mr. Char Rem- bold, gets a taste of spirit in the form of a Cool Whip pie during Homecoming Assembly. Mr. Rembold took Over as principe THEME — 3 As the year progressed both faculty and students began to become Well ad- justed to the ideas of ‘Doin’ Things Different.’ It wasn't easy for teachers or Students to get used to the idea of being divided into two Sub Schools each with a different principal. Before Giieredac umn though, teachers started to get Students used to the new system by sending Fresh- men and Sophomores to Sub School 1 tO@S@emvitaea Hamilton, and sending Ju- niors and Seniors to see Mr. Delmer Botkin in Sub School 2. 4 — THEME One of the great benefits of the changes was the posi- tive attitude that Showed through the school spirit that developed. Mr. Charles Rembold noted that he could see the morale of the school chang- ING. Everyone, including par- ents worked with the “new man’ to help bring about his mission of making parents, Students, and teachers into one big family. It was a year of adapting to Changes, but it wasn't really hard. We became a better school by “Doin’ It Dif- ferent”. A different approach to spelling out seniors was to do in on their shorts. Cheerleaders, Joey Doyle, Chip Lilley, Tom Wood, David Ballurio, Steve Davis, Jarrett Hatcher and Jimmy Goodloe get their letters in order. A different treat for fall athletes was the training table that featured a five foot Sub. On their spe- cial lunch day Diane Cooke, Andrea Georganzis, Tonya Rankin, Jonathan West and Reggie Scott got to sample the Sandwich. A different amount of time between classes meant not carrying as many books from Class to class for Paula Tyree. More visits to lockers made it easier for everyone to cope with Class loads. A different way to handle parking was with per- mits. Eric Brown remembered to display his permit on the rear view mirror before leaving his car in the parking lot before school. The bonfire was the special touch that made Homecoming not just another football game, but the big Same for students and alumni. A different way to work on spirit was through frequent pep rallies. David Ballurio and Scott Zimmerman were part of the Senior Class that raised enough spirit to win the Spirit Competition at the Homecoming Assembly. Making a different Kind Of entrance onto the football field were the Fighting _eemen breaking through thé Cheerleaders banner. THEME — 5 One Thing in Common A different way of doing things affected all aspects of ine StUCCH@Smil) cai ieman, - ferent things had one thing in common; they were all in- tended to make the students life better and simpler. Workshops were offered to help take some of the worry Out of PSAT and SAT tests. David Mullenax could often be found playing his guitar around the school. While watching a track meet, David and Chris Shelnutt pass the time listening to a few tunes. Joey Doyle, secretary of the SCA wore his Class number (89) on his shirt and helped to lead his Class to tell “what's your number’ at the Spirit Assembly. Steve Davis, Jimmy Goodloe, Tom Wood, David Ballurio, Jarrett Hatcher and Chris Wray were part of the Senior Can Can “girls” who led the whole student body in spirit. 6 — STUDENT LIFE A Career Center made pre- paring for college or getting a Job easier.

The temperature begins to rise and school is just a distant memory as summer and unlimited fun begins. Sometimes part of the Summer fun is working. Bekki Garrett worked as a page at the public library and Gary McDorman worked at the Food Lion bagging groceries. For Eric Brown and Joel McCauley tossing pizzas at the Pizza Hut took up part of their Summer. Andy Harmon had a cool job as life- guard at Westside Swim Club.

Greg Cartwright got some drama ex- perience playing a police officer in “Pirates of Penzance” at Oak Grove Theatre. Almost everyone went somewhere on a vacation. Bethany Shifflett chose the Dominican Republic, but Scott Lewis chose to Stay in Virginia by going to Virginia Beach. Chip Lilly and Steve Davis visited Chip’s brother in Florida. Joel McCauley spoke for most people when he described his summer by Saying. “The summer of ’88 was the best Summer of my life.” Shannon Hughes spent part of her summer in Germany visiting relatives. During the visit Shannon and her uncle stopped by the Rhine River in Bernkastle to feed the ducks and swans. Some students find a great way to spend time in the summer is to get together with friends. Be- thany Shifflett, Melynda Shoemaker, Colleen Brown, Angela Rettaford, and Kim Welk put their efforts together to form a pyramid. A swimming pool was definitely the place to be during the summer of 1988. Katie Gerringer took advantage of her gymnastic skill to do a flip from the diving board. abil beivwsmnie Tey aanuiesnrnsiteMonHAE RES After working many long hours at a landscap- ing job, Eric Roller uses his off hours to jump ina pool to cool off. During the summer of 1988. 100 degree temperatures were the norm. Katie Gerringer, Jenny Hanna and Lisa Van Fossen found a great way to spend time and relax was to take a boat out on a pond at the Hanna's Camp for some rowing exercise. Fourth of July in Staunton is always a festive day due to the Happy Birthday U.S.A celebration sponsored by the Statler Brothers. Debbi Darra- cott and Erin Dixon were part of the celebration. SUMMER — 9 Fantasy could become reality As spirited students became a Rock Star for a Day What other week of the year Could be as exciting as Spirit Week? At no other time do you get to live out the fantasy of dressing like a favorite rock Star, pre- tending to live-in a different time period, or Knowing what colors you will Wear On Friday. For seniors Monday was their own day to show spirit by dressing in tie- dyed shirts. The colors stood out in the halls so everyone knew the seniors were showing their own kind of wild spirit. Time Warp Day, Rock Star Day and Toga Day followed. David Mullenax said he believed, “Spirit Week should be all year and the halls should be dec- orated all year also.” Hall decorations were a big part of the Competition as each class tried to 10 — SPIRIT ASSEMBLY out do the others. In the end it was the seniors who won the Spirit Chain com- petition. On the last day of the competition they appeared to be behind in money collected, but that was only a trick to fool the other classes into believing that the seniors didn’t care about win- ning. At the last minute their money poured in, making them the winners. As the week ended everyone got to show his spirit and his class by wear- ing school colors assigned to each class. The competition between classes was intense, but it was all conducted with fun. How could anyone not have fun when they could show spirit and live out their fantasies? Although they were dressed as Geisha Girls, the Sophomore male cheerleaders looked like Sumo Wrestlers. Chris Shelnutt, Jeremy Spitzer, David Gayhart and David Mullenax get into the Spirit. Shane Kouchinsky, by bidding about $6, got to show his spirit at the Spirit Assembly by putting a Cool Whip pie into the face of Varsity Cheer- leader, Shana Pack. Wil Reid gets set with his proper Japanese Geisha Girl pose before beginning the “Together We Will Fight Cheer.” For once in her life Neice Woodson is speech- less after she was “pied” in the face with a Cool Whip pie by Marcus Jenkins. Such an activity was all part of the Spirit Assembly fun. Not many people get to throw a pie in their father’s face, but Holly Botkin gets that special pleasure of doing just that to Sub School II princi- pal and Dad, Mr. Delmer Botkin. Jumping high in the air Jarrett Hatcher flashes some leg and leads the seniors in their cheers during the Homecoming Assembly. He and other members of the group showed they can “Can Can’. Showing they “Can Can” were senior cheer- leaders, Joey Doyle, Chip Lilley, Tom Wood, David Ballurio, Steve Davis, Jarrett Hatcher and Jimmy Goodloe. SPIRIT ASSEMBLY — 11 “Do You Love Me” is the tune to which the Freshmen did their aerobics. The Freshmen Cheerleaders were Jason Painter, Carl Painter, Raider Campbell, Aldishar Aliaskari, Shawn Sweeney, Jeremy Gentry and Eric Leichter. Mrs. Margaret Trokell jumped on a scooter to show how really fast she can move. Un- fortunately, Mrs. Terry Boyle was faster. penance (ALAA ON akeannenyicne eel Mr. Bill Roberson, Mrs. Sue Morley, Mrs. Sue Walker and Mrs. Donna Dimella dressed like the California Raisins and danced to “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.” 12 — SPIRIT ASSEMBLY Steve Davis and David Ballurio part of the Senior Can Can give a flashy kick at the Spirit Assembly as they dance to whip up the spirit and cheers of their class.

The prize is winning the com- petition for being the most spirited for your class. Freshmen got into aerobic dancing to “Do You Love Me’ from you-know- what movie. Japan became the focus for the sophomores who chose to move like the Japanese Geisha Girls would. Juniors took based their act on the exotic belly dancing of the Middle East while seniors provided the finale with a rousing Can Can. Even the faculty got into the action with “I Heard It Through the Grapevine’ Raisins and scooter races to whip the students into a spirited frenzy. To top it all off there was the “pie in the face’ fun. Everyone Knows that the Slapstick pie throwing is fun, but it is hilarious when you get to see it done many times to teachers, Coaches and cheerleaders. Spirit Dancing may not catch on at the movies, but it was ahome video hit as the students celebrated Homecom- ing 1988. Dressed in a poodle skirt as if She were ready to go to a hop in 1957, Jill Shenk, a JV Cheerleader rocks and rolls to the classic tune, “At the Hop’.

SPIRIT ASSEMBLY — 13 A beautiful queen and an exciting game make a Super Homecoming Only one person became Home- coming Queen, the football team lost the game by two points in the last few seconds and it rained on the Home- coming Game. To tell it as it was, Homecoming sounds like a worse event than a fu- neral. However, the truth is that is was a Super Homecoming. It did rain on the game, but with the score in the home team’s favor for most of the Same, no one Seemed to mind getting a little wet. The football team came within a hair of defeating a top-ranked Turner Ashby team. At half-time it looked like a sweet victory was in the cards. The only thing that got in the way was Turner Ashby kicker, Kyle Zehr who kicked a 19 yard field goal with 16 sec- onds left in the game. Only one person, Holly Botkin, be- Came the Homecoming Queen, but Waiting to find out who the queen Would be added excitement to the night. The other 23 people in her court Sophomore contenders for Homecoming Prince and Princess were: Andrea Hupp, Danny Buchanan, Terri Nicholas, Kyle Wood, Allison Trott and Shane Smith. Holly Botkin and Heather Snyder resorted to using a towel to keep themselves dry as they Waited in the rain to be escorted onto the field for the crowning of Homecoming royalty. To represent the Senior Class, students Chose Holly Botkin, John Brock, Lori Ergenbright, Chris Wray, Tonya Rankin and Brian Burke to run for King and Queen. 14 — HOMECOMING looked great on the field in their fall finery and the pictures show they were all smiling. To make up for the disappointments there was the dance. Most of the people who had a date were happy. During the dance everyone got a spe- cial treat, a video made during the week showing students going about their business, laughing, studying, and being together. Homecoming had all the things that make the weekend a Super memory — an exciting game, a beautiful queen, a great dance and a Spirited group of students. Who are the favorites in the Sophomore Class? Andrea Hupp and Kyle Wood won the honor of being Sophomore Princess and Prince for 1988. Holly Botkin and Chris Wray share the happi- ness of being crowned Queen and King of the 1988 Homecoming during a rain dampened half- time ceremony. Representing the Freshman Class as princess and prince were Carla Gutshall and Wayne Morton. sree F es. i: ie ry When it came time to choose their favorite couple the Junior Class chose Jill Early escorted by Jeff King as their representatives on the Homecoming Court. The Junior Court from whom a prince and princess were chosen included: Heather Sny- der, Wesley Woods, Amy Powell, Jeff King, Jill Early, and Charlie Bishop. HOMECOMING — 15 No matter how much some things change One thing that never changes is The Student Scene Although the trend was to do things different, many days were the Same as they always have been. As long as there are students, some things will never change. By 8:30 a.m. Students have been fil- ing into the cafeteria for about thirty minutes. The bell rings and they are off! The calm, quiet halls are filled with students often ambling to their lockers, dodging each other as they went their Way [to a first period class. From first period until lunch they take their Seats in different Class- rooms. Some classrooms will be in a State Of mass confusion while other Will be filled with students eager to get down to business or stay awake. 16 — STUDENT SCENES Later, lunch time arrives. Finally, everyone seems to be wide awake as they race to the cafeteria hoping to get a good place in line or a seat with friends. After lunch students seem more at ease with a full Stomach and dreams of 3 p.m. in their minds. At the magic hour of 3 p.m. it is time not for ambling, but for flying through the halls, grabbing books from lockers and bursting through the doors to meet the outside world. By 3:15 p.m. the halls are again quiet. An air of peace settles over the school until tomorrow when the wonderful students arrive and the place is again alive. Tina Steele and Carrie Wells found a few extra minutes in gym Class to listen to a funny story from Dawn Kirk. Chris Buchholz spent his lunch period selling tickets to a dance sponsored by the Staunton Youth Commission. The dance featuring “The Findells” was held October 22. Class time could leave a person feeling drained in need of some free time for rest. After leaving class only 5 minutes were left for Laura Mueller to make her way to the next Class. Scott Lewis, like many other students, stayed up late and found class time to be a great time to take a little nap. Jen Harris and Ben Sprouse found that they do have a little time between classes to talk, but five minutes is the limit. Kevin Klapperich found getting to school on a bike easier than driving a car. Students who lived more than a mile from school might ride the bus or drive. STUDENT SCENES — 17 With a new principal came new rules, two new schools and for everyone a Different Way of Life Changes. Lots of people ask for change. However, there are also many people who do not adapt well to change. For the students who loved the idea of changes, big Changes, this was the place for them. The office was rear- ranged. The whole school was made into two Sub schools with separate principals and guidance personnel. How did students accept these Changes? After the initial confusion mos t students liked the change. How- ever, it did take teachers at least one month and students six months to learn the Sub school procedures. That part was easy. The hard part of the changes was in dealing with park- — ing permits. The opposition was strong against paying two dollars for a permit that students felt was useless. If that was the bad part of the changes the new Salad bar in the cafe- teria was a good change. Three lunch Shifts were readily accepted by everyone except those who were not on the same lunch shift with at least 50 of their. friends. Matt Hartsook, Wesley Woods, and Jay Smith were varsity players during the fall season who were treated to a special training table lunch complete with a five-foot Sub sandwich. - Renae Fridley reports to Sub School Il to get an excuse from Mrs. Mary Lou Parkins. It didn't take long for everyone to get used to by-passing the main office for the sub school office. 18 — CHANGES Staying in the cafeteria was not ac- cepted very well, but after awhile the Commons Area was not thought of as the place to hang around at lunch time. Teachers got a duty free lunch period out of that deal. No homeroom was another change that got mixed approval. Students who needed a few extra minutes to wake up found first period class a little hard to handle. Those were the big things. Little things like announcements at the end of second period, absentee lists at the end of the day, activity periods during second period and the extra minute between classes were all accepted without fanfare. The biggest change was the new principal. When he took over, the Chain of changes began exploding like fire- crackers. It was a different Kind of year. For those who liked the changes there was another reason for happiness. Those who didn't like Change found a reason to gripe. No homeroom meant a new time to be in first period class, alert and ready to learn. At 8:40 it was time for class. No homeroom to wake up, get ready for class or do homework.

Trying to figure out if you are an Owl, alion ora St. Bernard could put a Strain on you, too. In August a group of students had the chance to work on these problems at a Leadership Conference. Charles Rembold, the new principal, said he held the conference because, “I wanted to Know the students and to - find out who the leaders were. I also wanted to build a trust relationship be- tween faculty and students.” At the conference students partic- ipated in activities and discussions. They were asked to construct a model school out of an envelope filled with paper clips, tissues, candy and band aids. Although it seemed absurd and im- 4 20 — LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE = possible to everyone, the thought of making a school out of Such objects became fun. The participants figured out that the objects had to be symbols of things in their model school. Another fun activity required students to explore their personality. When asked to choose between a lion, an Owl and a St. Bernard, most students rushed to the lion area, totally sure that they were brave, tough an strong. On the last day there was a pizza party, and everyone knew what to do with pizza — eat! Although the projects were Strange, there was a point to be made. It is nec- essary that we first know who we are before we can take our place in life and begin to come together with other people. Ms. Carla Watson, prevention specialist for | Fairfax County Schools, led the Leadership Con- ference which was modeled on one used in Western Europe. Mr. Charles Rembold opened the Leadership Conference by telling the students that it was de- signed to help them assess themselves, their school and “empower them as change agents.” David Mullenax’s perfect School contains paper, a straw, band aids, and tissues. A spoon with candy on it, place outside the main Structure, represented the need for off campus lunches. The first thing that students had to do to prepare their model school was brainstorm ideas. David Mullenax kept the list for his Sroup as they began planning their School. —— Yo ial Greg Cartwright studies his notes on activities for the Leadership Conference. The agenda covered two full days of activities to help students develop their leadership potential. LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE — 21 When school becomes routine Its time for a pep rally to ROCK the House Down The Friday pep rally. Just when everyone thought it was dead, it is back and the students love it! The tradition was given a new Start when the spirit began bubbling over from the students to team members and the sparks were Carried all the way to the games. The feeling was there to go Out and win one for the students. It seemed that once the pep rally thing got started everyone wanted to get in on the action. The faculty decided to Choose one game of each sport to attend en masse and cheer. Sophomores had a year Of practice to get ready to help cheer their class and the football team to victory. 22 — PEP RALLIES The SCA introduced all of the fall sport participants and then they all joined hands and sang the school song. Matt HartSook noted that, “Pep rallies are the only time the whole school gets together.’ The pep rallies paid off. Angie Wells said, “Fans are learning more cheers and showing more spirit at the pep rallies and games.” Coach Walt Sherwin decided, “I think theyre great because they get the stu- dent body behind the team in spirit.” That is the main idea behind having a pep rally, and now we know it works. Trent Sharp and Bobby Sipe attended pep rallies loaded down with drums. Having a drum section at pep rallies helped everyone get the spirited beat of some of the cheers. Bert Shiflett and Jody Smith were two of the | junior male cheerleaders who were willing to | don wigs and to wear hose as they showed the Spirit to “rock the house down” at a pep rally.

PEP RALLIES — 23 Does anything go on when everyone else is in class? Find out by Checking Out Halls What goes on in the halls between classes or during classes? While most students are snuggled safely in their classes there really is very little going on in the halls. It took the yearbook photographers weeks to find any ac- tion to Snap. There is more time for students to hang out in the halls — one more minute between each class. That’s five whole minutes per day. But wait, students lost 25 minutes of possible Kenny Banes sits in the hallway to take a test as many students usually do when they have missed a test when they were absent. Andy Harmon, Gerry Coggin and Carmen Shirkey find the hall to be a great place to plop down for a friendly talk between classes. 24 — HALLS Dominic DeVito gets ready for his next class as he changes books at his locker. hall time because they were no longer allowed to go into the Commons area during lunch. The halls were still the place to meet and socialize. It was where the action was for only a short part of the day and sometimes that might be too much ac- tion in the case of a scuffle. Between classes the halls were the place to be. During classes the place was pretty dead. In the halls was a great place for teachers to Share a smile and conversation.

Jason Lich plays his guitar in a guitar competi- tion playing along with a song on the stereo. Gathering at a friend’s house on the weekend was a favorite pastime. Eric Roller and Bekki Garrett sit around a camp- fire during a camping trip to Greenville one weekend. Camping was something different to do before the cold winter weather came. For some students Greenville Avenue is the place to hang out. Cruising up and down “hamburger alley”, going to the Mall or meeting in parking lots was something to do on weekends. 26 — WEEKENDS fimmy Howdyshell, David Lessley, Chad Vyatt, Eric Brown, Matt Phillips and Steve secker of Young Life Ministries play “Name That yune’ at a Young Life Meeting.

After a long hard week at School, Fridays found students making plans, Saturdays found them taking action and Sundays found them recuperating for the week ahead. For many the excitement was found in working Saturday jobs that paid MONEY! With the money to spend on renting Movies Or 8oing Out to eat, the weekend was made. Other students took another route, the party zone. Here they gathered in private locations to indulge them- selves in full scale madness. Free Time Not all students go to special events on the weekend to occupy them- selves. They get together to go somewhere, they spend time with their families, or spend time by them- selves. No matter what they chose to do there was one thing that everyone could agree on. Weekends were a special and wonderful time to get away from the daily grind of school. Kelly Wells, Amy Powell and Carrie Wells get ready for a “road trip” to celebrate the weekend after a long week at school. WEEKENDS — 27 Students got a chance to pick. The president and they predicted a Victory for Bush Role-playing the hectic life of a pres- idential candidate can really make the election process come alive for students. Following this premise, Mr. Ned Bonfoey set about to establish a mock election complete with a cam- paign by students. The whole school watched the results with eagerness to see if Students could predict the na- tion’s vote. AS a first step students chose to join either the Democratic or Republican party. They could then help organize the party’s Campaign. The campaign involved preparing posters and conducting “whistle stop” speeches in each second period Class. Jimmy Goodloe was chosen to be Michael Dukakis and Jarrett Hatcher was his running mate, Lloyd Bentsen. On the Republican side, Tom Wood Jim Knowles speaks as Dan Quayle while An- drea Hupp (Mrs. Lloyd Bentsen) and Holly Botkin (Mrs. Kitty Dukakis) sit and listen just as many wives of politicians do. : The campaigners were Debbie Darracott (Mrs. Bush) Amy Powell (Mrs. Quayle) Tom Wood (George Bush) Jim Knowles (Dan Quayle) Jarrett Hatcher (Lloyd Bentsen) and Jimmy Goodloe (Michael Dukakis). John Brock, Mrs. Donna Dimella, Katie Gerrin- ger and Ms. Sarah Palmer poses questions for the mock candidates about real issues — the en- vironment, defense spending and taxes. 28 — MOCK ELECTION stumped as George Bush with Jim Knowles as Dan Quayle. As the Campaign neared a close a debate was held. Questions were an- swered and issues attacked in a very orderly and polite manner. Mr. Angelo Cacciapaglia remarked that he felt the student debates offered much more in- sight into the candidates’ views than the actual TV debates did. Finally, the day came for the elec- tion. Students voted overwhelmingly for Bush 541-144. The electors met and echoed the student vote by voting as their “state” of Second period class voted. When November 8 rolled around it was no Surprise to Students that Bush won by a wide margin. I t was great to know that the nation did echo the feel- ings of the student body. | | David Bell and Aaron Sharpe support their favorite party at the mock debates.

It has enchained and de- stroyed its people and their lives. It's a place of contained ill will.” So says the mysterious Dr. Mon- tague, a Character in the play The Haunting of Hill House, presented by the Drama Club.

Gerald Johnson, a Burger King employee, said, “I wouldn't work for less than four dollars an hour. | think its demeaning to work for less on a job like mine.” Jason Clarke, a public library employee only gets mini- mum wage, but he feels his job involves enough work that he should get more. Some students like Christy Payne enjoy their job So much that the pay is not important. Christy said she would still work at Neuman, Ltd. aS a secretary even if She were to be paid less. Although the controversy Over money continues, having ajob does have its rewards. It teaches responsibility, builds character and gives experience to be included on college applications. Of course there is also the reward of PAYDAY. Bekki Garrett worked at a pottery shop. Even though she worked for minimum wage, she enjoyed being able to pursue her interest in art in her job. Students at work Voluntary Action Everyone knows you never volunteer for anything. The word strikes up the idea of hard work. For some students volunteering was a way to find Out more about a Career. Amy Conner joined the Rescue Squad because she wanted to learn more about medicine. She plans to be a nurse. Mike Strickler’s work at King’s Daughters’ Hospital and at Dejarnette’s Hospital was a result of his interest in becom- ing a psychiatrist. Holly Wyatt and Sandy Johnson were Candystripers at the hospital. Juan Wilson and Chip Lilly put their interest in aviation to work as volunteers in the Civil Air Patrol. Some volunteers like Lisa VanFossen find they expand their knowledge while feeling the excitement of trying something new. Lisa’s reason for joining the Rescue Squad was, “SO I could be faced with and overcome stressful Situ- ations because | believe this will make me stronger in my everyday life.” Lisa’s interest in the rehabilitation of injured persons also led her to volunteer for Summer work at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. There is no denying being a volunteer is hard work. Res- cue Squad volunteers spend 24 hours of a weekend on the job. Civil Air Patrol members spend many hours tramping around mountains searching for lost planes.

MINI-MAG — 35 Christmas celebration includes Giving to others and decorating as Leemen Get the Spirit Christmas iS Coming and many students begin to think of presents for themselves and of their vacation from school. Even though these things were important there was still time to think of giving, celebrating and dec- orating as the school took on some Christmas spirit. . The Giving Tree, sponsored by the SCA helped decorate the cafeteria as gifts began to appear to be given to needy families. Cupcakes, chewing Sum, Candy and raisins were Stuffed in teachers mail boxes by the SCA to help make sure that they were remembered during the season. Showing his admiration for Mr. Eugene Blackmers door decoration is Tony Powell pos- ing beside “Santa Blackmer” constructed by Mr. Blackmers fourth period Class.

Christmas projects were on display as part of the annual Show sponsored by the art classes. 36 — Christmas Dressing up classroom doors, a tradition, was the next step as fourth period classes designed decorations that they hoped would be judged “best.” Decorations ranged from good will messages, some in different lan- Suages, to the winning “Santa Claus Blackmer’ door on the Computer room door. Finally, to celebrate there was the Senior Christmas Play, and the band and choral concert. No matter if there was a lot of School work to be done, Christmas offered a special time to Share the spirit of the season with friends.

Christmas — 37 Disappointed seniors put together A Christmas play for the Best Assembly Ever In September it looked like the Senior Christmas Assembly was Can- celled. No funny skits about Christmas or teachers were going to be pre- sented as they had been by seniors of years past. Instead, the Seniors were to present a Christmas play. Seniors weren't looking forward to Christmas if they had to do a play. Who would want to watch a play? Students want to see silly, funny stuff. They dont want a play. But having a play was better than nothing, so in November the seniors got busy prac- ticing to present The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Anyone who wanted to participate could have a part. There were roles of the Sunday School children to fill and there were choir parts for those who wanted to sing. To bring the mean children of the Unenthusiastic boys and girls (Matt Phllips, Tom Wood, and Amanda Conca) listen to in- structions given by the church organizer. Angels, Pam Snyder and Erin Dixon complete the Christmas scene as Joseph and Mary (Chris Wray and Lori Ergenbright) portray the under- standing that the Herdmans received from par- ticipating in the Christmas play at a church. 38 — Christmas Assembly Herdman family to life Lori Ergen- bright, Crystal Armentrout, Chris Wray, Jarrett Hatcheér,|(Steve) Davis, and Debbie Darracott were chosen. Memories were made that day with the play that will never be forgotten. Like the gifts of two of the Wisemen, Steve Davis and Debbie Darracott a ham and a bottle of Crisco oil. After the play Crystal Armentrout said, “This play was fun. It pulled everyone together, so that the mean- ing of the play came out.” Lori Ergenbright felt, “It (the play) made you feel good. Everyone was touched by it.” So, this is what a Christmas play is like. This is something students enjoy at Christmas. A Christmas assembly that at first looked to seniors as if it was going to be a disaster, turned out to be the best Christmas Assembly ever! ¥ iE I : se gs Made RE AEO | Wisemen (Andy Mask and Greg Flint) are quickly alerted that the child is born by pushy angel Gladys Herdman (Crystal Armentrout).

Mr. Geisen mentioned, “YOu have de- veloped a unique class spirit, evi- denced in such compassionate efforts as the recent hunger drive and the Overall unity the class has achieved to endure the harsher moments that con- fronted the school.” Some seniors had already begun the task of distinguishing themselves through the awards they won for their high school performances. 44 — GRADUATION The School Board Medal went to val- edictorian, Anne Bumgardner, the Page Kable Award to Amanda Swisher and the Joe Ast Trophy to Charles Morton.

The football season turned out to be Full of Surprises The ups and downs of a season. For the varsity football team the season had the ups and downs of a roller- coaster ride. Lose one, win one, hit a Slump and then get hot at the end. It began as a high school football season always does, in the punishing August sun. Practices held daily in 100 degree heat tried even the strongest and most dedicated. Preseason was tough to endure, and before the football team knew it, THE season was here. It began with a game with Giles County played on the week- end before school even Started. To get the season off the ground the team was accompanied by a busload of fans. First time out the team was pepped up to defeat the predictions of the Staunton Leader’s poll of sports writers. The result was a loss and five pollsters scored a win with the Giles choice. If the pollsters thought the rest of the season was going to be easily predict- able they found they were all wrong. Surpassing the expectations of some of the leading pollsters, the team began to get its act together and beat Spotswood early in the season. Broad- Way, Fort Defiance and William Byrd fell as the Lee team chalked up three victories in the last five games of the season. According to most sports critics the prospects were dim for a win against Turner Ashby. Few were prepared for What actually happened at the 1988 Homecoming Game. It looked like a close win for the home team until the last 16 seconds of the game when Kyle Zehr of Turner Ashby called the bid Varsity Football Team.

When the team got “ready” to take on some strong action they played hard as in the Turner Ashby game. More Sur- prises to the pollsters as readiness also led to a win against a tough Spots- wood team. Kyle Wood was ready when it came to defeating William Byrd as he helped spoil their homecoming by picking up 167 yards On 25 carries and three touchdowns. Charlie Bishop helped out also by collecting 98 yards on 10 runs. The defense was ready too, hold- ing the Byrd team to 74 yards. Other “ready men’ like JoJo Stuart, chosen for the Staunton Leader All City-County Team, Sean Hite or Melvin Melton were on hand throughout the season to carry the ball. According to Coach Walt Sherwin there were surprises during the sea- son. Harrisonburg turned out to be an easier opponent than expected, but Broadway turned out to be tougher than expected. Winding up the season was the game with Western Albemarle, a pow- erhouse in the district with a 9-O rec- ord. Despite the power of the Western Albemarle team their win did show 12 points on the Lee score thanks to the passing of Charlie Bishop to Sean Hite and Kyle Wood. Coach Sherwin mentioned that the greatest challenge of the season was to win more district games than in the previous year. That challenge was met as a team which had in the previous year won no district games put three districts wins on the record and man- aged to baffle some of the local football sages.

Coach Dave Hinkle noted that the Freshmen posted the best season of any JV team since 1983. He also ex- plained that the Freshman team has re- placed the old JV football team which consisted of ninth and tenth graders. The Freshman team played JV teams from other schools which in so me cases meant playing older, more experienced athletes.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL — 55 No matter who your opponent may be There’s no better place to be than In the Passing Lane In the sports world there are but a few sports that allow an athlete to com- pete against anyone but the opposing team. However, in Cross Country, competition is against the Opposing team, your own team and yourself. All of this competition gives runners the opportunity to get that glorious feeling that comes only when they hit the passing lane on the way to the front of the pack.

She also got the chance to compete in the district, regional and State track meets. In the district meet She Came in first for her second consecutive year. At regionals she came in fifth and finished eleventh at the state meet. Greg Thomson also had a chance to compete all the way to the State.

VARSITY BASKETBALL — 61 Wanted: Athletically inclined girls. No experience needed. Starting at the Bottom To coach JV Volleyball is a hard job. If in doubt just ask coaches Caroline Lowman and Brenda Bower. What makes the job so tough? Both mentioned the fact that unlike most other sports, volleyball has no “feeder system” in the junior high or city recrea- tion program to help prepare players for high school play. Each year the coaches begin to teach the Strategy of the game to a group of girls who have played only in elementary School and junior high gym class. Many of them have to be taught how Katie Metraux passes the volleyball with a bump as she sets up a score for Christy Scott who works the net. To dig the ball up Stacey Antes hits the ground while Katie Metraux Keeps alert on the sidelines to help out if necessary. 62 — JV Volleyball to play the game, but “all of them are athletically inclined,” said Coach Low- man.

Greg Huff favors the head lock, which includes locking up the arm. Tony Powell uses his quick- ness to pin his opponents. At most matches the crowds are sparse, limited mostly to parents and friends of the wrestlers. However, crowds don't seem important to the wrestlers who are interested only in the “one-on-one” on the mat. To reach the point to take his man down, David Gayhart inched his way around behind his op- ponent. Gayhart was one of the wrestlers who moved up from the JV team. Break him down with a double hold on the bicep was the idea behind the move that Jason Lich put on his opponent. 0 get the team off to a good Start, Willie MCCarty inned his opponent from Natural Bridge.

Wrestling — 71 A summer season, a game with few players or spectators that’s Par for the Sport Just about the time most fall sports are getting started, golf is over. The season is short and it is one that is often overlooked by almost everyone. The spectators at a golf match are very few (occasionally a golfers mom or dad will attend). Golfers have to have a lot of motivation to do well be- cause its rather lonely out there on the course in the ninety degree heat chas- ing after a little ball.

For Jarrett Hatcher the highlight of the year was being the only team to beat Harrisonburg. Tom Wood said, “It was a fun year. Coach taught us a lot.” Bobby Baker felt he had a lot of fun playing golf and would miss it next year. Seniors on the team were Mike AIll- red, Tom Wood, Eric Obaugh, Jarrett Hatcher and Bobby Baker.

Eric Obaugh playing his last year of high school golf was the number two player on the team. Practice on his swing and on keeping the eye on the ball helped him to improve his game. Jason Lich, a junior, uSually held down the fifth spot in most matches. Giving up part of his summer was a must in order to play on the golf team.

After attaining a 3-6 record in the first part of the Season, four wins in a row put the team in the running for the play- offs. Only a move by Charlottesvile out of the tie for third place in the district kept the Leemen out of the Ccompeti- tion by dropping them to fourth in the district.

The girls got nothing but the best in instruction by receiving lessons from one of the professionals at a local racquet Club. The price they had to pay for this expertise was getting up on Sat- urdays, at 7 a.m. for the lessons. Did the Bonfoey approach work? It must have. The girls finished second in the Valley District.

CHEERLEADERS — 85 With new seasonal tryouts Cheerleading is to be No Small Group Sport First there was a group of fall Cheer- leaders. Then, there were tryouts and new faces appeared among the cheer- leaders for winter sports. For the first time in the history of the school, there were two Sets of cheerleaders. “We just felt that it was time to try to enlarge the number of cheerleaders to include more girls than just eight,” said Mrs sJUGIIhneSnUGyYs One oOlstie sponsors. The idea caught on as approxi- mately 50 girls Showed up for winter try outs held in late October. After Sub- mitting recommendations from teach- ers each girl was required to do a rou- tine in front of the judges. Eight varsity and 8 junior varsity cheerleaders were then chosen.

Drew Gogian said, “Cheerleading takes a lot of dedi- cation and hard work, but | expected that and it’s a great experience.” The two squad program enabled some athletes to cheer during their off seasons. One new cheerleader Diane Cooke was now able to be a winter cheerleader since her season on the basketball Court was over and the soft- ball season would not begin until spring. Having tryouts in October also gave June Brown, a transfer student from the county a Chance to tryout and make the squad. There were no complaints about the two Squad approach since it gave more people the chance to participate and made cheerleading less of a Small group sport. wa 7 ity } awe ome Going through the ritual of cheerleader try Outs Jennifer Sweeney shakes her pom poms anc goes through her best routine to make it on the JV Cheerleading Squad. 7 Winter Squad of Varsity Cheerleaders.

Next or the last 13 years everything has been simple for the Class of 1989. Yes, simple. Wake up early and head to school. Life had few options. However, the time has come when se- niors must face the question, “What’s Next?” Suddenly there are more choices than some people want to comprehend. Should you go to college, and if so, which one? Maybe you should take off a year to think about it. After all, decisions made now can affect your life later. At first the choices are scary, but then comes the most important question, “What do I want to do?” Some people like Allison Mathie, Debbie Darracott, Karen Maurer and Tom Wood have made the college deci- sion and have been accepted by UVa. Mike Allred has a college and a major As the light of a campfire falls on Pat- rick Werner this double exposure mir- rors the feeling that seniors might have of being pulled different ways. in engineering in mind at Virginia Tech.

For some the what’s next step is hang- ing over them, but sooner or later everyone will have to deal with the ques- tion. SENIORS — 91 Ditterent Pear ooking back it seems only a short time ago that about 250 freshmen entered high school in 1985. Have these people changed? Are they different people? In most cases the answer is yes, they are different. John Brock doesn’t play frisbee in class with Mike Strickler and Jonathan Shenk like he did in Mrs. Troxell’s geography class. Renae Berry has changed from the shy young person who remembers being, “‘so nervous the first day of school, especially when I walked into the cafeteria before school and saw all those people.” Some seniors like Holly Wyatt still feel that its important to establish your “turf”. Holly remembers that her fresh- 92 — SENIORS man year she and her friends got one lunch table and made it their “turf’. She added, “‘We didn’t have a lot of power in other ways.” Jeremy Bryant no longer races to get to the front of the lunch line like he did as a freshman. He also remembers being in- volved in Gummy Bear wars in Mrs. Lott’s class. For Amy Conner the feeling of being a “little kid” is gone. She also remembers that she used to have to go to the office often to get her locker combination. For most people its great to forget some of the things done as a freshman because now that they are seniors they really are different people.

Past Antics hen one becomes a senior he begins to look ahead to his future. He is very serious and puts away childish things and tries not to look back on the past. True or false? False! Seniors often get into a rem- iniscing mood. They even bring pictures from earlier days for the yearbook staff to use in the yearbook. When they start remembering some of the following incidents come up. From elementary school they might remem- ber: — reading workbooks and how everyone loved them. — Skatetown was a cool place to go. — The day the students at Dixon got rules on how to play kickball and they had a “‘riot’’ at recess to rebel. — Playing Fishes and Whales With Tails and Jump the Brook in PE class. — The second grade Christmas play when Brian Kelly playing Rudolph crawled onstage on all fours pulling a sled. — The day Billy Corbin chased Alisa Koch, Pam Snyder, Bekki Garrett and Lisa VanFossen into the girls’ bath- room where they pushed on the door to keep Billy out. They found out it was the principal, Mr. Wine, they were fighting behind the door. Then came Shelburne Junior High School and more memories. — Not being able to talk in seventh grade gym class. — Having to march everywhere in seventh grade. — The “sludge” in Mrs. Queen’s IPS class in eighth grade. — Setting things on fire in IPS. And finally the memories of high school. Almost all of the se niors list win- ning the Spirit Assembly for three years and winning the Spirit Chain competition in both the junior and senior years as the most important thing that happened. Another event that stays in everyone’s mind is the meningitis epidemic of the freshman year. Who could forget the pills everyone had to take? Most seniors remember having Mr. C. for biology and they remember but want to forget most of their senior teachers. They remember their “‘class anthem’, “Cottonfields’’. A bitter disappointment was losing the privilege of cutting in line at lunch their senior year. Another disappointment was having the Senior Christmas Assembly moved to the spring. The fun of remembering takes some of the pressure off thinking about the future. It’s much more fun to think about where we have been rather than where we are going. Ms oP; i. Stars at an early age.

No need for them to be scared. Teachers have been preparing them for years by teaching how to write paragraphs, how to spell, and how to use the li- brary. No matter how much preparation teachers have done, it seems that its never enough to tackle the big paper that has a deadline. Steven Henry Says, “YOu can learn how to push yourself by doing a re- search paper.” Teachers say that one of the main purposes of a research paper is to make you think. Marcus Reed thought, “| think it will be Something positive 112 — Sophomores ... that will help us through our future lives.” Scott Garbers thoughts were, “Set your mind to do the research and youll get it done.” Dana Moats felt, “I Know a research paper is a lot of work, but | think if | work hard enough | will do fine?

Macon Moyer lends his talent for-playing the trombone to help support a School activity and further his musical ability. For sophomores one of the Greatest challenges is handling Parent Problems Sophomores face many problems, but there is probably no greater battle for sophomore than dealing with par- ents. What’s the problem? First off its friends. Parents worry about their children running around with friends as they break away from the family. Dawn Humphries said, “They don't like my boyfriends. But we get along fine.” Kitty Bell said they don't understand that I want to do things with my best friend and not with my family. “Staying out too much with friends, especially my boyfriend’, is a problem for Terry Hardy. Without a doubt curfew causes the most conflict among parents and Attending Valley Vocation School, the area vocational school is the goal of some students. Tina Steele and Tina Walters talk with Mr. John Avoli, principal of the vocational school about course offerings. sophomores. George Barger and Pede Kier have problems over curfew, but they still get along fine. Pede said, “I’m never home on time.” Belinda Hender- son said her parents are “pretty easy going on my curfew because they know I am responsible.” Smokey Clark said her parents let him stay out to 11:30 or 12 as long as he doesn't abuse the privi- lege. As the sophomores deal with the problem of moving from being a kid in their parents’ minds to becoming a re- sponsible young adult, the problems will Continue.

What is he planning? Everyone has questions for the New Man in Town Who is Chuck Rembold? To Say he is the principal of the school doesn't quite answer the question. To many students the answers they Searched for were where did he come from and what does he plan to do at this school? He came here from Lake Braddock High School in Northern Virginia, a school with an enrollment of 4800 (five times larger than this School). His former school consisted of Six Sub- schools and grounds the size of a small college. Mr. Rembold said he and his wife did not mind coming to live in a small town like Staunton because they were both reared in small towns. His mission is to bring new ideas and changes to this school to make it a better place for learning and living. Students soon found that Mr. Chuck Rembold was “approachable” and willing to help with problems. He would even smile while dealing with problems. According to Mr. Rembold, one of his hardest jobs is getting people to ac- cept Change. He also said that one of his biggest problems has been training of staff. There is not enough money available for the special training he en- visions. “The students at Lee High are very similar to other students in their prob- lems and in their strengths,” remarked Mr. Rembold. Since he began work in July he says that he has seen a change in the atti- tude of the Community, parents, fac- ulty and students. “Students have more interest in school,” he noted. Mr. Rembold noted that he thinks we have “the ingredients to become a great school.” Admi nistration — 131 Earth Science, Newspaper Adviser Mrs. Eleanor Bennington LD Resource Teacher Ms. Marietta Beverage Biology, Junior Sponsor Mrs. Sharyn Billings English, Reading, Sophomore Sponsor Mr. Eugene Blackmer Physics, Computer Science Mrs. Estelle Boetticher Bookkeeper Mr. Ned Bonfoey History, Economics, Girls’ Tennis Mr. Ken Bosserman Mrs. Brenda Bower Math, Volleyball, Pep Club Mrs. Terry Boyle English, SCA Adviser Mrs. Barbara Bringman Government, Senior Sponsor Mr. Angelo Cacciapaglia Biology, Science Department Chairman Mrs. Ruth Cook Special Education Mr. Mike Davis Marketing, Distributive Education Sponsor Mrs. Donna Dimella Biology, Science Club Sponsor Mr. Gary Flavin English, Drama, Drama Coach He’s Like a Fellow Student Who's the leader of the class that’s fun for juniors?

Mr. Moore lectures, but students find his lectures far from boring. Most of his students mentioned that the lectures bring every day events into the Chemistry study. Students can remember principles of heat loss after hearing Mr. Moore's tale about being re- sponsible for supplying ice for a party. He tells how he put the ice into a mov- ing stream thinking that it would Stay cold, but later found that the ice was melted. This story opened a lively dis- Cussion about the problem of heat loss.

I mean, everybody can learn the information, but at the same time have fun. David Ralston says Mr. Moore’s “appealing and witty personality make it easier for Students to learn.” Jeff North’s comments on Mr. Moore's class seemed to Sum up the ideas of most students. “Mr. Moore pro- vides a down-to-earth atmosphere, as though you are being taught by a fellow classmate and not a teacher.” Let’s have a “life day” is the Class introduction that students of Mr. Steve Moore's science classes love to hear because it gives everyone a chance to question and search for answers to anything on their minds.

For these students help is available from teachers who are trained to deal with their special needs. Mrs. Betsy Erskine provides help to the hearing impaired. Mrs. Beth Blackmer works with students who have speech problems. Students at risk of dropping out find help from Mrs. Faye Brown. Students who need to talk with a psy- chologist get help from Mr. Steve Walk. Everyone is familiar with the Special Education Supervisor, Mrs. Leah Pack, the Gifted and Talented Supervisor, Mrs. Joan Swift and the Secondary Education Supervisor, Ms. Judy Cox because they are often seen visiting the classrooms and helping teachers plan lessons for their Special Students.

Class activities ranged from lab ex- periments, class discussions, field trips to a planetarium, a geologic ex- pedition, and dissecting frogs.

No one knows the impli- cation of this statement better than the yearbook Staff. The seven members of the Leeway Staff received a shock as they found that there are no second chances on deadlines. Miss a deadline and the book will be late. Deadlines are set in the fall and un- fortunately they do no change to ac- commodate a major test or research papers due during the same week. “In no other class do you find the pressure to organize your time and meet your assignments. I really think that working on the yearbook staff makes you a better person and student — if you can live through the production of one book,” said the adviser, Mrs. Claudette Obenschain. To meet deadlines it takes “a lot of concentration and patience,” Said Lisa VanFossen. “A lot of time and effort,” are neces- sary according to Shannon Hughes. “Working together,” is the key to com- pleting deadlines for Gerald Johnson. Joel McCauley said meeting dead- lines involves, “Putting up with all the frustrations and setbacks of the jour- nalistic world.” Those frustrations and setbacks, according to Mrs. Obens- chain, are the things you never ever ex- pect to happen — like the day some- one opened the back of a camera and destroyed all of the shots that were needed “yesterday”. To relieve some of the work pres- sure there were deadline parties. There arent many classes that offer the rewards of Cake, drinks, popcorn, chips and dip and pickles, for work ac- complished.

Journalism would not be described as one of the easiest Courses in the curriculum. Based on a point system, the class d id not include numerous quizzes, tests or homework grades. The grade for the class depended on the amount of work the student was willing to do and the number of ac- tivities to which he could lend a hand.

To Start the year he told the march- ing band, “We're going to get a lot of things accomplished this year, but were going to have fun doing it.” On his first year at the job he did lead the five school bands in a number of activities. The marching band parti- cipated in competitions at Buena Vista and James Madison University and marched in the Staunton Christmas Parade. The Concert and Symphonic Bands gave two Christmas concerts, one for parents and one for the students. After Christmas they began practicing for in- dividual’s participation in the District Festival and the bands participation in the Band Festival. To round out the year the bands went on a road trip in the spring and gave an end of the year concert. In order to manage enough en- thusiasm and energy to maintain such a hectic schedule Mr. Lane said, “The enjoyment I derive from band comes from working with young people who are interested and excited about learn- ing music!” He alSo counts on his wife, Sheba, an elementary band director to help himn work with the bands.

David Eagle remarked that, “Band has changed for the better. The music is great and were getting a lot done.” This was echoed by Debbie Sheets who Said, “Band is a lot of fun and we're learning many different things.” It didn't take students long to get in on the serious fun idea. David Gayhart said, “I like the way he took control and Straightened things out!” With his comments of “Wow!” after a good performance and with his in- terest the whole person not just as a band student, he helps students realize that “Serious fun” is not a contra- diction, but a reality.

For Jessica Godsie, a freshman and a devoted gum chewer, her message would be, “The worst thing about band is not being able to chew gum, but the best thing is how much fun we are Nav- ing.” To Scott Gregory, another freshman, the bad thing about band is that you have to get up early for morning re- hearsals. An older band student, drum major, Kirsten Clay, looked at morning re- hearSals differently. She said, “Marching band is an experience. YOu have to have discipline and dedication to get to School at 7:15 a.m.” The Marching Band is captured in its official portrait after participating in the James Madison University Parade of Champions held in October at Harrisonburg, Virginia. Skilled musicians from the upper classes formed the Symphonic Band who entertained at the Christmas Concert with songs like “Greensleeves’ and “Sleigh Ride.” 158 — Band Taiwan Jones liked band because she got to meet a lot of new people and also was able to learn to play new in- struments. There were always the favorite songs to play in band class, like the Marching Band’s favorite, “Louie, Louie.” Alex Shelton found Jazz Band to be exciting because he didn’t know much about jazz until he started class. He also mentioned that Jazz Band gives student s a chance to play music that they choose. Just like any other class there was good news and bad news about the band class, but for music lovers the muUSIC NEWS Was Sood. Keeping the band together and on the same beat as they play is the job of Kirsten Clay, one Oo two drum majors for the Marching Leemen.

To students in band and chorus, it'S part of their class. Some students might like to avoid showing their work, but art Students put their works on display. What mysterious force Causes students to perform? David Gayhart doesn't mind performing because he likes “making people happy” with his music. Before he created anything Allen Crawford had to spend some time thinking about what he would put on paper. Art Students’ works were often displayed in the office as well as at Shows. To be the best they can be on stage David Puf- fenbarger and Scott Sams have to get together in band Class to practice the saxophone part of the music. 160 — Performing Arts Charlotte Nuckols also enjoys the feeling of making g00d music.

However, being faced with a different way of doing things seemed to bring everyone together as they worked to deal with the differences. The new sub school idea Doing things different did not include making changes in having fun. Students like Paula Doyle and Carrie Norris still set aside to get together just for fun. When students are smiling they must be happy. Standing in the halls, talking with friends and having a good time helped to relieve the class- room stress. 180 — CLOSING Working together Mr. Charles Rembold, prin- cipal, and Mr. Ken Frank, Superintendent, helped to make transitions easier and to smooth Over problem areas. made school seem smaller.

CLOSING — 181 Captain Walter Brown stood on duty in front of the school during one of the days when the atmosphere was tense after a fight. Students’ problems with their differences resulted in a dif- ferent way of dealing with the problem — mass suspensions and student forums to deal with problems. Group work in classrooms helped students learn to work together toward a common goal. Eric Davenport, Sandy Dull, Pede Kier, Jerry Robinson, Mike Summer, Dreama Armstrong, Terry Hardy, Marla Dixon, and Matt Mader put their heads together in English class. Jim Knowles showed a different face after look- ing over One of Mr. Bill Roberson’s calculus tests.

Working on students’ dif- ferences made a big change in how they felt about each other and brought everyone closer together. The changes that made the year different simply lost their effect of being different. Isn't it strange that doin’ things different turned out to be just doin’ things? Group forums met during January and February with both faculty and community leaders to help students air their concerns and work Out Solu- tions to school problems. Mrs. Judith Shuey, Eric Sproul, Raider Campbell, and Kevin Rowe were part of one of the forums.
