Spotsylvania’s star has been steadily rising, per- haps finally reaching its ze- nith during 1986. A winning attitude is a large part of being successful, a philosophy demonstrated by Senior Ray Bar- nett.

Outside you hear someone faintly ask, “What's the spectal occasion?” You smile and answer to your- self, “It’s only the Junior Sentor Prom.” The 1984- 85 Prom was a time worth remembering. CASPER provided both contempo- rary and popular rock-n- roll sounds. Despite the muggy atmosphere, the cou- ples danced the night away — not leaving until the last note faded away into obscurity. Prom 1984-85 will be noted as a success by both its planners and its participants.

Greatest Show he first ever appearance of the “Greatest Show on Earth’’, Homecoming 1985, was the week- end of September 27-28, at Spotsylvania High School. Wrapped around the home- coming game itself were more events — and competitions — than Knights could shake a spirit stick at. Wednesday the pregame festivities start- ed when Inside Out day raised the cur- tain on Spirit Days. It was an old favor- ite with a new twist. Classes competed with each other for star billing on a two- page photo in this year’s TRAIL, as well as a long-term contract on the spirit stick. As the curtain closed on Day One, the sophomores held center stage by three percentage points. The day started off on Thursday, Circus Costume Day, with the whimsical de- lights provided by a multitude of circus performances parading in the front hall during homeroom. Senior Lisa Sperry and Freshman Ricky Snellings won the 1985 Best Costume Award, presented by the Latin Club, for their realistic por- trayal of circus clowns. It was again a closely fought competition, but as the bell rang for first period the Seniors had forged ahead by four percentage points in the spirit competition. After experiencing two great perfor- mances on Wednesday and Thursday the student body was geared up for a nail- biting, cliff-hanging, final act. But Hurricane Gloria stole the show on Frt- day morning and resulted in school can- cellation. So — it rained on our parade you say? In the finest tradition of stage and screen 10 Homecoming This was the parade “Gloria” almost rained on. The cheerleaders prepare their entry in the parade.

Well, it’s about time the student body showed spirit and they have. A winning basketball team, a constantly improving football team — not to mention better overall records in all sports — and a championship band all add fuel to the fire of Spotsy Spirit. Numerous “Pep Spirit” days and pep rallys psyched up both students and ath- letes for big games. The effort shows. After reaching an all-time low in 82- 83, spirit has once again skyrocketed to momentous heights. It’s about time! Senior Homeroom 12B turned themselves inside out in order to help their class win the spirit competition. Cheryl Murphy, Mark Holmes, and Amy Klinefelter get in the spirit before the JM game. Those slick city boys robbed us honest hicks at the game that night. Gary Williams asks a classmate, ‘Who's the new kid with the yellow hair?

So Good Together “The year in review ... what to remember in pictures. What was meaningful, memorable, or set this year apart from any other year at Spotsylvania High? 1986 was the year ABC came to film a segment for “Good morning, America.” It was a year that old traditions were kept alive and new ones were started. For some students it was a end to the 12 year habit, for others it was the beginning of the end, and yet others were trapped somewhere inbetween. What to remember? There was the time we got out of school early because it was too hot, and then the day we got off to batten down the hatches for a hurricane that never came. There were school dances and holiday celebrations and fundraisers of every sort. We had a greatest show and a sound show and after-game celebration. We ate cookies and candy, bought balloons, hats, stuffed ani- mals, and flowers. We mourned the loss of the J.M. football game where victory eluded us in the fog, the loss of the District basketball title by three points, and the loss of seven astronauts. We celebrated Battle of the Brains victories, Forensic team honors, and a renewed feeling of pride in our school.” At top, Pault Foreman and Ricky Ross pass a major milestone, the choosing of graduation announcements.

Compared to pre- vious years, there was an overwhelming re- sponse for spring tryouts. Fifty-four young women turned out to seek a spot on the 1985- 86 varsity and JV squads. Summer camp was held at Longwood College in Farmville, Vir- ginia. Squad members and sponsors spent four long days hard at work! Days consisted of five or six classes lasting two hours each. While learning new cheers and pom-pom routines both the varsity and JV squads won awards for spirit, ability, effort, performance, and cooperation. It is quite obvious to those in the know that being a Spotsy cheerleader is no easy task. Each person on both squads has a responsi- bility to her squad and most importantly to her school. Each must attend weekly prac- tices throughout the year in order to cheer. In addition, since each girl serves as a represen- tative of the school to the community, she must always project an exemplary image. Nikki Edwards and Karen Altman take a break to discuss some non- cheerleading matters during a Friday night football game. 1985-86 Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders: Back Row: Kim Stacy, Tressy Greene, Missy Wood, Paulette Woolfolk, April Hague.

Backstage excitement mounted and fingers trembled as actors grew more and more nervous with each passing second. When the curtain opened several students appeared on stage to present smpromptu, a play about four actors who are called to stage and are told to ad-lib a performance. Mrs. Odom and several Spotsy students practiced many hours after school to take the perfor- mance to James Monroe for competition. The Drama Club had also attended O aho- ma! and actually played a part in the Source Theater's local production of Amadeus. In order to raise funds and promote school spirit the Drama Club painted faces during Home- coming Week for the student body. All in all, the curtain will fall this year on a great club!

Drama Club 37 potsylvania High School’s 1986 version of the world-famous Latin Club succeeded in both serving the community and having fun. Under the iron fist of sponsor David Winn and President Kevin Per- ry, the club accomplished many goals. Club members fared well at the Annu- al JCL Convention held this year in Roanoke, Virginia. The club took six- teen members to the event and scored well in both academic contests and other activities. As a community ser- vice the Club sponsored a Christmas Toy Clothing Drive. Student re- sponse was so overwhelming that three different outlets had to be found. The Salvation Army, Social Services, and the County Visiting Teacher all received toys and clothing to be distributed to needy members of the Spotsylvania community.

They at- tended the State Fair to observe the Small Tractor and Engine Troubleshooting con- test. A trip to the National Headquarters in Alexandria is also planned. Additionally, throughout the year the club has participat- ed in various contests such as Forestry Judg- ing, Tractor Driving, Public Speaking, the Creed Contest, Parlimentary Procedure, and Soil Judging. This year the Vo Ag classes placed more emphasis on welding and woodworking and agricultural produc- tion than in the past. The main reason for this is to prepare students for Vocational School Classes. ‘‘Our main goals are to in- crease enrollement and change the image of F.F.A.” Mr. Estes stated. ‘““We want the stu- dent to realize that we do much more than learn about farming. Welding, woodwork- ing, leadership, and mechanics are some of the things we do: A lot of the students don’t realize that. They think its all just hogs, cows, and crops.” This member sharpens his welding skills in preparation for a competition.

After completing a long application, inductees are counseled on the importance of this organiza- tion and the how it reflects on their teachers and parents. Factors that al- low membership are as follows: Scholarship in the form of a 3.0 grade point average, character as defended by teacher recommendations, service and leadership as proven by extra- curricular activities both in and out of school. Once inducted, NHS mem- bers take part in a variety of scholarly and service oriented activities. This year sponsors Mr. Stevens and Mrs. Bullock along with President Michele Pontillas developed a calendar of events ranging from the most cerebral to the just for fun. On the service side, NHS members conduct a tutoring program for students in need of aca- demic reinforcement.

The club also participates in service activities for the school and com- munity. The club began the year by holding the annual ice cream social and building a float for the Homecoming Parade. Among this year’s trips are a visit to the Richmond Science Museum and a trip to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The major trip of the year will be an overnight canoeing trip.

The annual teacher auction will be held in the spring to raise money for scholarships at the end of the year. The scholarships will be offered to seniors who actively participated in the club during the year and are planning to major in a sci- ence related area.

From Pep-rallies to the dance, the SCA was pleased with the outcome of the event. Other SCA sponsored activities during the Fall semester included a Halloween bal- loon sale and giving teachers, school admin- istrators, and secretaries a balloon for Teach- er Appreciation Week. The semester was brought to a close by the video sound and light show held after a basketball game re- placing the traditional Christmas Dance. A Valentine fundraiser kicked off the second half of the school year. The SCA sold hand- made chocolate lollipops in order to cele- brate the holiday. In early spring the annual blood drive was held with overwhelming par- ticipation. The year was capped off by Spring Fest Week and the second Annual Beach Dance in the last week of May. This student benefited greatly from the SCA balloon sale.

These events are planned and carried out as specific requirements for mem- bership in the national organization. To pro- mote business knowledge and skills, mem- bers participated in a workshop held at Ger- manna Community College last fall. Participants attended lectures on subjects such as parliamentary procedure, business graphics, and stenography. Annually mem- bers attend the regional Spring Conference. Individuals chose those categories in which they are interested and compete as individ- uals or teams. The FBLA takes its altruistic responsibilities seriously also. They not only collect food for the annual school-wide drive, but they take their giving one step further. They provide Christmas gifts for the mentally handicapped and cards for the hospital. This year they took a Halloween trip to the Westwood Nursing Home.

Thus they ad- vanced to Round Two of the Battle of the Brains compe- tition. In February the team met Prince Edward High School. After losing an early lead in the team round, they overcame a six- ty point deficit to pull out a clutch victory in the closing minute of the match. The final score — Spotsylvania 270, Prince Edward 260. March 27th found the team facing another un- beaten adversary for Round Three.

Working un- der the guidance of a pro- fessional and developing job-seeking skills, sentors learn another dimension of the careers they seek. The program is coordinated by Mr. Workman and offers guest speakers who address the students of their var- ious professions. After capturing a total of six first and second place wins at the District compe- tition, Spotsylvania’s Fo- rensic Team set a school re- cord. At the regional com- petition, the team again did well. Junior Caroline Bond captured a first place victory in Humorous Inter- pretation and Sophomore Carol Talley captured a second place victory in Girl’s Prose. A number of Spotsylvania Students are enrolled in a variety of technical pro- grams offered at the Spot- sylvania Vocational Cen- ter. Students in the eleventh and twelfth grades may chose an alternative to the normal six class day. The center provides them the opportunity to learn a new skill or prepare for a par- ticular occupation. The courses are offered in three hour blocks in such technt- cal fields as Data Process- ing, Auto Mechanics, Of- fice Management, Electric- Air Conditioning, and Refrig- eration and Auto Body — ity, Carpentry, just to name a few.

Courtland, the eventu- al AA State Champions, provided the Knights with a sound 35-6 thrashing — the worst loss of the year. But the Knights responded to this defeat by winning their last three games — including a memorable ‘“mud- bowl” victory over Culpeper, the fourth ranked team in the state. The Knights, led by team captains Ray Bar- nette and Randy Carter, and by Sidney Coleman, Butch Trent, John “The Refrigerator” Winn, Rodney White, and Tony Talley, provided their loyal fans with a season full of thrills, excitement, and, yes, even a few tears.

They had a lot of strength and size. Our defensive secondary was smart and had alot of talent; they were all seniors. We had some weaknesses, however. Unlike Courtland and Culpeper, most of our players had to play both offense and defense. That hurt us a little because you get tired. Perhaps the most outstanding moment was the third game of the season; we were playing Fluvanna, a tough Group A team. By the end of the first half, things didn’t look so good for us, we were down 6-14. But the coaches got us together and we put our minds into the game and stopped the team with a 21-14 victory. It was great because we knew we could come back and win. Something that I always will remember is Sidney run- ning the ball and challenging the opposing team’s play- ers to ‘stop him if they can!” As a matter of fact, his favorite expression was “You can’t stop it!” We had a great team, and if it wasn’t for a few bad calls, perhaps we could have been in the play-offs. We were 7-3, the best record since 1978. We also had players get personal awards: Ray Barnett, John Winn, and Freddie Coleman were selected to the second battlefield Team; Sidney Coleman and I were appointed to the first team region- al and then to the state team, which was quite an accomplishment.

Although they did not win any meets, they tried just as hard as any other team, several members pointed out. It will be hard to replace John Rower, W.D. Evens, and Greg Ruby, “they had great attitudes and were hard workers, they will be missed.” Coming back next year Darryll Stacey and Bobby Perkins should provide sound foundation to build on. If Doug Shirley and Aaron Taylor improve the way they were at the close of the season, the team could be strong by the time districts are run in 1986, Coach Estes has planned summer programs and wants to recruit more next year.

As the 5:30 a.m. practices progressed, the team watched their chances for victory diminish. The loss of numer- ous team members and the injuries of others left gaps in the team that were unable to be filled. As the season opened, the team had only five members to field and even this number was decreased by the injuries of Kristen Britt, Sharnette Purks, and Star, Christine Snell- ings. Undaunted by the fact that they faced almost certain defeat at each match as a result of their lack of depth and number, the girls put their best foot forward. They faced each competition with the tenacious spirit that marks a true winner. Though the scores do not indicate a winning season, this team was surely com- prised of only winners in the truest sense of the word. If a Championship was awarded on the basis of character, and not points amassed, these women would have won hands down.

This number dwindeled as practice progressed. Because of the lack of veterans, many fresh- men earned spots on the Varsity team. With only one senior on the entire squad, the young, inexperienced team did surprisingly well. Practice was hard but the team kept a winning attitude regardless of what the scores indicated. By the season’s end, the number of wrestlers had decreased dramatically. Only seven wrestlers represented the team and com- peted in the District tournament. Despite that, Greg Ruby placed first at 112, Charles Preston took second at 98, Ronnie Petrie took third at 176, and Bobby Perkins took fourth at 105. Greg subsequently took a third place in the Regional tournament and went on to com- pete in the State meet. Returning veterans with hard won experience make prospects for next year great.

Plagued by prob- lems concerning team members (the most severe being the loss of starting center senior Geroge Wortham), the team overcame the loss and a resulting psychological slump to wrest a second place season finish in the District. Coming on strong during the District Tournament, they won decisive victories against first James Monroe and then arch-rival King George. After two aggressively fought games, the Knights faced first place opponent Culpeper. They seemed to have lost their mo- mentum during the game’s first half and when they regained it during the second half it was not enough. It was a disappointed team that found themselves the losers by only three points. Despite that, the team had earned the right to compete in the regional playoffs. However the blight of inconsistent play fol- lowed them there also, and the Knights again lost. It was a disheartening end to a closely contested and emotionally charged season. Despite the scores, both the team and the fans came Out winners in spirit. | 56 Orange 54 SCORES SPOTSY OPP 79 Charlottsville 72 64 Park View 65 51 J-H-W 61 82 Albermarle 54 84 Charlottesville 87 67 Culpeper 57 64 James Monroe 48 fll Louisa 48 60 Caroline 58 72 King George 63 58 Courtland 52 71 Orange 82 74 Culpeper 85 55 James Monroe 64 60 Louisa 50 66 Park View 54 66 Caroline 64 83 Courtland 65 75 King George 76 76 James Monroe 61 58 King George 48 56 Culpeper 59 65 Handley 81 Record 13-7 I REET TEE EID OIL LMS STE ARIS MDP NSIT SIRO Nod ER RE SEAT Senior K.K.

They handle all the book keeping, typing, and answer the phones, not to mention the little things that need to be done for the principals. Their jobs are tough and they don’t always get their due credit, but their time and energies are greatly appreciated by everyone. Although the secretaries have a hard job, the principals have an even harder job. The job of disciplanarian is not a popular one. Three men who share in assuming that role are Assistant Principals, Robert Eichenger and William Childs, and Principal, Garnett Campbell. These three men, who contribute much time and seemingly endless effort, work diligently to make Spotsy the best it can be. Their job lasts long after school hours are over. Although somewhat infamous our “Ring- masters” are a valuable part of Spotsylvania High School. Norma Barger — Special Education Barbra Bass — P.E. 9, Driver Ed.

Sophomores 129 ——A Junior isa unior students were asked by Junior Class Co-chairman and English teacher, Mrs. Layman, to respond to the question — What is a junior? ... A junior is someone who is too smart to be a senior, too cute to be a sophomore and too classy to be a freshman. Juniors believe in making money. They sell M M's, Snicker’s bars, hats, pencils, not t.v.’s and a few stolen cars here and there. This explains why most juniors have a Swiss bank account. A junior is the type of person who rents a tuxedo and a cadillac for the prom, buys flowers and candy for a girl (you will never again after graduating), buys dinner and doesn’t have enough money left over for the prom tickets. A junior’s evening might be spent by going to a movie or a rock concert, having dinner under the Golden Arches or another equally good restaurant, coming home at 1:00 in the morning and then remem- bering that they had Algebra II, Chemistry, and History homework due the next day. A junior is a person who asked for a Porsche or Ferrari for Christmas and gets a matchbox or hotwheels. A true junior would have no trou- ble studying with Van Halen or Wham!

There ave so many decisions to be made about what to choose to put on the ring, what type of stone and cut to get and of course, what size to order. When the rings finally ar- rive, after what seems like an eternity of waiting, there is a Shelley Hajnosz Raymond Hall Amanda Hamilton Eugene Hamilton David Hannahs Elaine Harris Maurice Hill Kelly Hillstrom James Holbert Darrell Holladay Chuck Hopkins Andy Ison Ring in the New frenzy of ring turners com- peting to find out who will be the first to reach that magi- cal 87th turn. To a gunior, this ring sym- bolizes that he 1s nearing the end of his high school career and getting ready to enter the real world and move on to bigger and better things. Karen Goodin Finally getting that long awaited class ring is Ronnie Petrie. Now he has to find 87 different people to turn it!

Their reply will be an unequivoctble “no.” Though actually a pre- liminary test given to sharpen skills, most juniors approach the test with dread and fear. Hopefully though, by the time the SATs roll around, the practice will pay off. Con- fidence gained through familiarity will en- able the hurdle of the SATs to be approached with greater ease. The quest for college sometimes seems endless as these juniors well-know.

Most of these students plan on furthering their edu- cation through some form of schooling. For some 1t means college, others plan on technical or other specialized schools. Sentor Julie Rayman, when asked how she felt about the honor, replied “pleased and surprised. After 10th grade I was ranked 25th. I vowed to myself to be number 20 by the end of 11th grade; I missed my goal by one — ranked 21st. When I got this no- tice, I was pretty surprised, but I fi- nally felt all my efforts had really begun to pay off.” We congratulate Julie and the other nineteen seniors. It was time well spent!

Pontillas Business Manager: Jennifer Eichelberger Assistant Editor Photographer: Kevin M., Perry Yearbook Staff: Maureen Fluet, Jenny Parkinson, Rodney Carter, Neal Barr, Jim Parker Contributing Staff: Amy Eichelberger, Any Ackerman, Jim “Street Surfer” Ivory, Ed- watd Sigmund Johnson, Joanne Pizzaro Staff Nuisance: Tom West Advertising Sales: Carol Talley, Sharnette Purks, Krysti Fogelman, Lizzie Borden, Denise Duld 180 Editor’s Note rying to forget a year of remembering ... If you have taken the time to glance through this year’s book and to actually read the words printed here, I commend you. Or perhaps, you should commend Mrs. Woodcock or any of the small (as in minute), hardworking staff members who assembled this book. Some pages might strike you as good, some as bad, or some even as trite nuisances. However, whatever impression the year leaves you with, remember this: each word, phrase, and picture is a true labor of love. We have tediously recorded a small fraction of your existence . . . ten months of your life. In the end it seems that we are all winners, and ... It’s About Time. — Michele Pontillas. Hi, I’m the co-Editor of your yearbook and if you think the book is derenaged, it is because I am! Although not perfect, this book is the result of some very hard work. Late night vigils and Saturdays were consumed by the massive amount of work that had to be done. Pictures were shot, students instructed, and hair pulled . . . all for this lump of paper. People moaned and groaned about the yearbook, but did nothing for it. Yet, despite all this, I am glad I exerted the effort to help bring this about. When I look at the fruits of my labor, a feeling of accomplishment over- whelms me, and I collapse! — Kevin Perry ‘ i. | | J er IE v6Sl vegZo CELE E (ONION AMWHGN TWNOIDSY YOONNVHVdd Ve WHINSO + ‘ s . « Daa
