Affer shoveling armloads of books into narrow, metal compartments, students re- clined behind their locker rows chatting quietly. Small groups of friends sometimes walked to the cafeteria and found a quiet comer to socialize. Stak- ing out their territory, others headed toward recessed doorways and semidark cor- ners to gossip in hushed voices.

Each student also had a place to hang out with special friends. Smoking students con- gregated in the smoking area outside the cafeteria. Athletes hung around their locker rooms where they could brag about their social lives or the “great moves” they executed in competition. Clubs and groups gathered in meeting or activity rooms.

Teachers and other school employees re- ported to offices and work areas away from students. The student body, however, was larger than any other school associated group. Each student was trying to be an individual as well as a part of the collective body. In order to keep from being swallowed up by the crowd, it was impor- tant for each student to con- tinue searching for a little bit of elbow room. 0 a IG es. | SENIORS Sherri Clark and Kendall Garner enjoy the festivities at the Homecoming football game.

LU LS cht r Opening 5 6 Student Life Divider Outside Action Whether partying at a friend’s house or cruising by Mr. Gattis on Saturday nights, students had their own special hangouts away from school. Most students preferred to start the weekend with a Big Mac at McDonald's. Afterwards, they’d all leave in small groups for a keg party or simply a night on the town. They could pump five dollars worth of tokens into the video games at Aladdin’s Castle or they could try to pick up dates at Kell’s Arcade. When a new face walked in the door, all the regu- lars turned to stare at the intrusion into their video territory. They could get to their hangouts only by a couple of different ways. Either their par- ents dropped them off, a fate to be avoided, or they'd drive themselves. About a third of the student body drove to school every day in everything from barely run- ning wrecks to freshly waxed and polished hot rods. Even more students had access to cars at home. Every single student who drove a car felt that if was his own car even if it legally wasn't theirs. A few spared no expense fo give their cars the best paint job, a powerful stereo tape player, and sporty, shiny wheels. Someone else's touching the car was a personal violation. The cars and the hangouts were like a home away from home to be protected from strangers. OU SNOWBALLS went flying as students were dismissed from school early after a snowstorm struck the area.

UNDER THE PENETRATING Nags Head sun, sophomore Margaret Rooney slathers on sunscreen while on a week long vacation. 8 Summer Anxious students had been looking forward to June 9 since April. They conjured up visions of sleeping late, glorious days by the pool, and vast ex- panses of time with absolutely nothing to do! The awaited day arrived. School bells rang for the last time. Students poured out from the school and piled onto buses. Home again, each had a chance to catch his breath before filling up empty suit- cases with bathing suits and suntan lotion, and becoming SUMMERTIME beach bound for Nags Head, Myrtle, or more locally, Fair- view Beach. A sophomore, Sara Munson, remarked that her major goal for the summer was to acquire the “perfect tan ’. While leisure-filled stu- dents were busy cultivating a tan, others were back at school. Summer classes kept them in the routine of home- work and tardy bells. As junior Terry McCloud stated, “It was a drag ... It made the day seem to go on forever.” Industrious students tumed to- ward the money-making Oppor- tunities summer provided. Full time jobs and social activities had to balance out in the course of summer. Summer jobs ranged from cutting the next door neigh- bor’s grass in 95° heat, to dipping ice cream cones from freezers at the local Carvel Store. As sopho- more Beth Hall explained, “Some of the work was hard, but if was a great way to eam money on the side.” Midsummer brought about the traditional celebrating of the July Fourth weekend.

THE JULY 4th CELEBRATION was also a time of relaxation; sopho- more Terah Allen reclines at the an- nual picnic at Old Mill Park in Fredericksburg. SUMMERTIME headed to City Dock and en- tered the Raft Race, picniced and played volleyball at Old Mill Park. Coping with the alternate schedule of work and play, stu- dents still managed to squeeze in time for “cultural” activities. The Capital Center and Mer- riweather Post Pavilion pulled many rock and roll fanatics to concerts performed by Journey, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and others. As concert goers slept off effects of last night’s con- cert, moming after moming, the football team trooped out onto the fields at dawn, to wrestle tackling dummies and sleds. Varsity, JV, and freshmen cheerleading squads traveled to week long camps at UVA, The University of Richmond, and Mary Washington College. The marching band sweat- ed out the week before school started through long hours of marching, standing, and devising new formations. As junior Lisa Newton explained, “Even though it was hot and tir- ing, we had fun and we're a lot better because of it.”’ The Fredericksburg Agricul- tural fair started September first, signaling the official close of summer vacation. Renewed students retuned to school August 29 to find their place in the same routine of long lunch lines, homework assignments, and ringing bells. O Summer 14 “There was no spark to light our fire,’’ declared seniors Sheila Carter, Ellen Jones and Kathy Ramsey. Without the tra- ditional bonfire and “Anything Goes” competition, dis- appointed students felt that Homecoming just wasn’t the same excitement as in the past years. Despite the disappoint- ment, the six-dollar tickets for the dance were sold by the hundreds. SCA sponsor Mrs. Jo Ann Payne was enthusiastic about Homecoming 1983, “It was absolutely terrific! The stu- dents’ spirit was wonderful — | was very pleased.” “Next week is Spirit Week, Punk Day starts Monday ...,” announced SCA president How- ard Parker. The week before Homecoming was a kaleido- scope of costumes, parties, and parades. Dressed in mini- skirts and pajamas, spirited stu- dents strolled the halls; howev- 12 Homecoming FINISHING TOUCHES cre put on the Class of ‘87 float by freshmen, Shawn Scott, Debbie Jacobs, Stephanie Stames, and Julia Payne.

At eight P.M. Friday, the loud speaker in the stadium announced to the 1,200 Indian fans that the game against James Wood was about to begin. Excited students cheered the football players on through the first two quarters. When the halftime parade began, float entrants proudly paraded around the track. After a tense moment, the senior float was judged first, and the King and Continued JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES Joy Mon- trief, Betty Walker, and Tracey Schuler watch the Homecoming game while chai awaiting the halftime pa- rade.

Under dimmed lights and a disco ball students left their shoes under chairs and danced to the sound of “Class Act.” With the lights came the end of the celebra- tion, that lacked the spark.” © Homecoming 15 “Where and how am | going to make money?” Throughout the school year, nearly the entire population of SHS had this same question on their minds. Money, however, seemed impossible to find by any easy plan. Much to their horror, students soon realized that they would have to per- form some type of labor if they wanted money. Suddenly — WORK became more than a new vocabulary word. Work paved the way to “saving for a car or college,” as most students casually re- marked. However, Amy Simp- son, a senior said, “lam saving my money for senior ex- penses.”” She had in mind the $30 senior dues. the $100 or more for a class ring, and extra money for gas and food needed when working on se- nior projects. Students found work in var- ious areas which ranged from the usual fast food restaurants to the unusual, like refueling planes. Andrea Smith, a soph- omore, and Steve Druieft, a ju- nior, found themselves working for P.E. Coach Bill Micks at his canoe and kayak rental store. Andrea stated, “A typical day would include washing and coiling 80 feet of rope, load- ing, unloading canoes, and hanging life jackets out to dry.” Sophomore Chris Kunkle, a lighting technician, worked in summer productions in the SHS auditorium. Once students began work- ing they found that a job could be hard, and even frustrating. However, those who stuck it out soon became used to the working ways. They found that the adult working world could be very exciting. O 46 Money CUSTOMER’S QUESTION is readily inswered by sophomore Andrea mith, who worked at Coach Bill Mick's canoe rental shop.

AFTER SCHOOL noise pollution is c on- tributed to by Greg Flynn, a graduate, and seniors Danny Haynes and David Sumpolec. BEER and other alcoholic beverages were a common refreshment at weekend parties and activities. ‘Health Hazards) “Living is hazardous to your health,” summed up sopho- more Karen Bland, when soeaking of the various health hazards plaguing everyday life in the ‘80's. “Warning: The surgeon general has determined that cigarette smoking is danger- ous to your health.” This appeared on every cigarette package and ad, but the stu- dents still flocked to the smok- ing area. “Smoking doesn’t en- danger me now, but if bothers me to think what it could do to me when | get older,” said ju- nior Cindy Pitts. 18 Health Hazards Junk food was a part of everyone’s life. After school vending machines contrib- uted to the availability of junk food. Favorites such as Her- shey bars and Cheeto’s had more calories than nutritional value. Poor nutrition at lunch time was Compounded by the con- stant sound of the jukebox, which blared out popular tunes at high-decibel levels. A more serious health hazard dealt with alcoholic beverages and drunk driving. Due to the fact that alcoholic beverages were easy to eT east = “ Al obtain, students were offen in- troduced to drinking at parties. A chapter of $.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) was organized. The group met reg- ularly to discuss drunk driving problems and put together a bulletin board of statistics and articles. O NOISE POLLUTION played on the cafeteria jukebox in the form of popu- lar songs is enjoyed by students such as senior Tim Ross.

LUNCHTIME CIGARETTES are a routine for junior Cindy Pitts who smokes daily in the outside smoking “lounge.” Health Hazards 19 AFTERNOON CHORES include feed- ing the family cows for sophomore Ja- nean Miller. “Come and get if!” called dozens of students as they yelled for their pets. It wasn’t always 9-lives or Ken-L-Ration that waited in the bowl; stu- dents kept a variety of different animal pets, from fish to ferrets, who often times required more exotic meals than the basic dog or cat food. Aaron Litten, a junior, owned a four-year-old corn snake. Aaron explained, “!l thought it would be a good conversa- tion piece. It’s bitten me three times.” The snake ate two live mice a monih. Senior Rob Lake owned a Personal pet ferret. “When | first got it this summer my sister called in Stinkly, but now it’s known as FERRET. Sophomore Beth Hall, and her brother junior Duane Hall, kept chickens in their garage. “We have fiffeen of them,” Duane stated, “we used to have one named Rocket J. Rooster, but he got eaten by a dog. | kill them, and we freeze them to eat for Thanksgiving and Sunday dinners.” At senior Wendy Crismond’s house, you could expect to see thirty-two ducks waddling around or swimming in the Pets pond. Wendy explained, “They are tame enough to eat out of your hand. We started out with two, but now we have over thirty.” Cows, pigs, horses, goats and a variety of farm animals were an everyday part of a student's life who lived on a farm. Scattering corn for the chickens, or giving the grain pellets may have been a daily chore for these students. When the call was heard, “Come and get it!” You never knew what might come run- ning. O PET DUCKS live in the backyard pond of junior Robin Crismond who feeds them pieces of hamburger rolls. SENIOR WENDY CRISMOND cuddles her pet, a giant-sized white rabbit, Tubby, who lives in a backyard cage.

RIS “If it fits, wear it,” was the practical philosoohy of sopho- more Marc Cheadle when speaking of fashion. “Everyone wears what they want,” stres- sed sophomore Jane Young. While it seemed that the majority of students were wearing clothes that con- formed with the masses, indi- vidualists stood out above the crowd. “Some people stand out more than others — each clique had its own style,” ex- plained sophomore Steve Braun. Mini-skirts appeared along with ‘40’s-style highheeled pumps and printed stockings. Mild “new Wave” clothes were LEATHER JACKET, mini-skirt, and camouflage pants obviously stood out among a crowd as worm by seniors Frank Clark, Deena Brown, and Liz Morford. Fashion 23 SENIOR JAY SULLIVAN sits in the |i- brary during class. Jay wears the ever- popular flannel shirt and Copenhagen tobacco hat. Wear tt generally found on people who listened to “New Wave,” or “Punk” music. Basic faded jeans, cowboy boots, flannel shirts and base- ball caps constituted the sta- ple outfit for a “red-neck’”” who listened to country music. Scattered sparingly through the crowd were remnants of Preppy clothes. Monogramed pink and green sweaters found their way to students closets along with penniloaf- ers and oxford cloth shirts. Chemistry teacher, Roger Brown felt that there were no real fads, or current trends, but that, the general population was moving towards “brighter colors, simpler styles, and big bright jewelery,” while stu- dents moved away from the “starched ironed look.” If anyone felt that Stafford was behind in its fashionable development, no one could be more justified in his opinion than junior Nesa Faticonni who explained, “When | moved here | thought the people would be more in touch with the current fashion trends being so close to Washington D.C. Maybe in about 2 years... . O 24 Fashion NSE Beitr es 5 FRESHMAN RAY SMITH rests against a wall during his lunch shift. Ray wears the popular Def Leppard concert shirt.

This was a change because sales had been in a slump since 1979. Five groups and musicians who stood out in record sales were Def Lep- pard, Duran Duran, The Police, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. There were many reasons for this sudden music explosion; one was the de- cline in people’s interests in video games, another was the better economic situation. Se- nior Todd Cornell said, “This year it seems like I've got more money to spend on albums and tapes.” A third possible cause for in- creased sales was combining movies with top-selling aloums. Such were movies Risky Business and Flash- dance. Both of these movies featured hit songs off of popu- lar LP’s. Another reason for record sales increases was the change in radio stations going TOmlLOD 408 OlePOD, sUCh TCs Washington, D.C.’s radio sta- tion WAVA.

This be- came a craze even for musi- cians, some spent close to one million dollars developing these three to four minutes movies. Statistics showed that Q popular video sold albums. “Beat it’” was the most popular video of 1983, and as a result Michael Jackson’s album Thriller sold ten million copies in the United States and ten million abroad. Cable vision started a 24 hour video chan- nel, MTV; and even NBC got involved by beginning the show Friday Night Videos. An example of how music surrounded the students was the portable radio — cassette player. Those became very popular among students who did not like to have their music interrupted. In 1983, music blared at stu- dents from Walkman head- phones, televisions, the car radio, and the home stereo, O Music 27 Just friends? “Just friends” was how many cliques described themselves. Members of these groups were as small as two or three stu- dents. Though not many peo- ple would say they had one “pest friend” couples of all sorts were seen in the hallways everyday. Boyfriend and girlfriend cou- ples were more easily defin ed. It was popular for students to have a special girl or boy. Time before school and between classes was of- ten spent talking to “that special some- one.” Although some students wanted to VoOmEC getting 15070 28 Friends close, others took the chance of getting hurt by showing their true feelings. Good relation- ships were hard to find but sometimes people fell upon them. What made a good rela- tionship? “Honesty, trust, and knowing when to talk or drop a subject are the most important things in a_ friendship,” ex- plained sophomore Patricia Meadows. Comparatively, Karen Dittman, another sopho- more, stated, “A real friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself with.” Other opinions differed sharply from person to person and from boy to girl. Being new in school was one of the most awkward positions for a student to be in. “Il really felt lost not knowing anyone my first day here,” said senior Gian Carlos Filartiga. Nobody liked the feeling of not hav- ing any friends. Friendship WOSaarC Dari.

Students unprepared for their next class dashed off the remainder of the last nights his- tory paper, or English com- position in the 300 seconds be- fore the bell. Personal appearance was so important to everyone that hasty trios were made to the bathroom to check “looks” or have a quick smoke. Students also found these breaks a chance to readjust their appearance. Boys combed their hair. while the girls were curling their-hair and fixing their makeup. The brief 5 minutes between classes was spent searching for friends and conversation. + am so x 3 2 4 30 Between Classes Brenda Kaila, a sophomore, said, “Between classes | enjoy a break from the teachers and being with my friends.” Fights became public events where students jumped on lockers for better views, and called out in support of friends. It was often difficult to main- tain girl boy friendships. Stu- dents involved in these rela- tionships were forbidden “Pub- lic display of affection.” Be- tween classes was a time fo sneak a kiss behind lockers since the administration Out- lawed the “goodbye kiss.” Students throughout the year, turned to the 5 minutes between their classes to re- lieve themselves from post — Algerbra syndrome, and to talk with friends. It seemed, however, that the 5 minutes was never enough time. Abrubtly the hubub subsided, fleeting figues filed into class. The bell rang!

A team victory was important, but so was individual success. Student athletes competed not only against the opposing team’s contestants but also among fellow Indians. The athletes who had the best performance records became the so-called leaders of their squads. However, even the players who weren't “the best” were still a factor to be considered. They may not have been the most well-known school jocks but they still contributed to the final score. When the rivalry was tough, it was the contributions of those team members that upped the score in Stafford’s favor.

It was Monday afternoon and that meant one thing: “pictures | don’t lie.” The team watched the film from the previous week's games every Monday. Team members shuffled into _ position to gain the best view. _ Others found it wiser to sit just | behind the lineman to avoid eye to eye contact with the coach. “Darryl Smith that’s good; Ricky Brown that’s not bad ei- ther,” uttered Coach Tom Berry while reviewing game films. Coach Berry expected his players to leam from the films. Each player knew exactly what he was doing well and what needed to be worked on. Practice started Monday af- ter the film and continued through the week until Thurs- day. “Monday affemoons are usually a strategy session for the week’s game,” said senior Johnny Druiett. Tuesday and Wednesday marked a hard practice with full pads and late finishes. The team con- centrated on last Friday’s mis- takes and the new week’s changes. “The philosophy of the team never changes, but certain aspects such as play- ers position and plays will be added or taken away,” com- mented Coach Marvin Baker. Thursday was the last day of practice and the chance, finally to take smelly, dirty practice clothes home to be washed. If you asked each player how often he washed his practice uniform he would respond, like junior Kevin Allard, “| go the whole week before | get anything washed.” Dressed in shorts and shoul- der pads the team practiced at the stadium working on spe- cial teams. ‘‘We usually smooth out the game plan,” stated junior Eric Killinger. It was Friday and nearly time to play the team they had practiced so hard to beat. Ev- ery player stayed after school whether the game was home or away. “We either order din- ner out or bring our Own food and watch movies such as Rocky Ill, First Blood, and others that got us fired up,” said senior Kevin Phillips. Coach Berry liked his players to stay after schoo! because he knew exactly where every- body was and they were out of trouble. As game time approached, the team gathered in the lock- er room to receive a pep talk from Coach Berry. “You are a better team than you think; we've worked hard this week and the entire season too! Now lets go out and win to- night!” Encouraging words like these were given to the team no matter the outcome of the past week. 0 Football 55 VARSITY KICKER, senior 84, Robert CALLING SIGNALS fo his offensive Elswick converts an extra point aftera team 14 Phil Jones waits for the snap touchdown against Stonewall from 52 junior center Matt Curtis in Jackson. the JV game against Potomac. opponent SCORE HOME te STAFFORD INDIANS Potomac 20-12 James Wood 12- 6 Woodbridge 0-20 Fauquier 18-18 Stonewall Jackson 22- 6 North Stafford {2- 0 SEASON RECORD: 4-1-2 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL OPPONENT SCORE Gar-Field 0-16 Potomac 0-15 James Wood QO- 7 Woodbridge O- 7 Fauquier 0-36 Stonewall Jackson 6-23 North Stafford 0-16 SEASON RECORD: 0-7 SPRINTING up the field during the freshman game, Harry Crisp escapes the hot pursuit of the Potomac de- fense.

Step 3: Play serious football. These are the three steps for a fresnman to become a varsity football player. Freshman football player Randy Bove remarked, “We worked hard but we just came up short.” The team started with 33 players, but by the end of the season there were 23. At one: point in the season, the coaches met with the players to discuss their attitudes since they hadn't won a game. Coach Bill Engels said, “| just hope the losing season doesn't affect their total attitude to- ward the game.” He also stres- sed that the freshman year is designed to learn the fun- damentals and that players werent expected to beat ev- ery team played. Brian Snider, a fresnman, said, “We'll have a good team next year.” The other half of the staff, Coach Gerald Brooks, summarized the season by saying, “It’s a leaming process.” By midseason, the junior var- sity team was showing they had learned from their fresh- man season. Junior Billy Lenzi summarized the Potomac game by saying, “We domin- ated!” Sophomore David Jer- nigan stated, “We're controll- ing the games better than what the scores show.” Sophomore Mike Spruill said, “We're awesome!” Coach Lou Sorrentino stated, “We have a winning attitude that will hopefully continue into next year.” Coach Kurt Glaeser said, “The potential is definite- ly there.” 0 DESPITE THE PILE UP at the goal line 14 quarterback Phil Jones still man- ages to sneak in the end zone for six points.

The Lady Indians hockey team made a big come back after losing to Albemarle in the first game of the hockey sea- son. They retired to the prac- tice field to concentrate more on penalty strokes and to per- fect passing the ball from one player to another. The extra practice on penalty strokes turned out to be a big help. In the rematch against Albe- marle the team played an all out game to beat the State Champions by one penalty stroke. “| felt proud when | made that penalty stroke,” said varsi- ty player Jane Merganthal. “So many people had told us we could be District Champs and ky beating Albemarle it dawned on us that we really could.” A young team with little ex- perience described the junior varsity team, since most of the team members were fresh- men. With first year Coach Lin- da Glaeser the junior varsity team began with basics, since field hockey was not played on the middle school level. These first year players had in Mrs. Glaeser the benefit of a coach who had served two years as a hockey Official. Most of the team’s time was spent getting to know the sport, each other, and learn- ing how to work as a team. “| am pleased with the team’s improvement,”’ said Coach Glaeser, “Theyre really start- ing to work together. They have lots of enthusiasm and desire.” O Field Hockey 59 Court Trials lack tar, black flag, and black clouds made the girls’ tennis season any- thing but ordinary. Court conditions were so poor that the school’s mainte- nance crew tried to repair the surface with tar, but the only result was to make the court worse. Extreme heat brought about the Black Flag (a sign that it was too hot to play) and then the tar would become sticky and get on everyone's shoes. Not only did the heat and the poor court confuse practices, but the black clouds that brought th e rain restricted practices to indoors. All the cracks and tar on the cours, caused all matches to be played away. This situation played a part in the team’s performance because they didn’t have the home court advantage. Coach Chris Hyl- ton stated, “We had a fine season considering ... were not making excuses, but it would be nice to play at home on nice green coated tennis courts.” Even though the girls played all their matches away, the team’s final record of 3-8 was an improvement over their last season.

Based on their overall perfor- mance during the week the varsity along with three other squads were selected to compete as the best of a 28 squad camp. With three new sponsors, the girls found many surprises and changes from tradition. Taking and passing a test on the game of football, its rules and regulations, became a cheer- ing requirement for all squads. Sixth period for cheerlead- ers in the past had meant ac- tivity period, after school prac- tive was cut back to one prac- tice a week. Sophomore Tracy Shover commented, “One practice just wasn’t enough time for the J.V. and freshman. It's okay for the varsity because they can practice before the game. The main problem is it’s too hard to organize one week of work into two hours of prac- tice.” Another change in the pro- gram was a decrease of each squad from a traditiona twelve girls to ten. “Footba}} season wasn't that difficult be cause we were all togethel but with basketball it’s hard, }| remarked senior Anntl Pomatto. “We worked very hard icll nothing.

With eleven out of thirteen var- sity wrestlers scheduled to re- turn and seventy young men out for the team, the outlook was very good. Then the bubble burst, and a significant number of young men started quitting. “It seemed like and epidemic the way they were dropping like flies,” said sophomore Brawner Greer. Just as things started to settle down, injury plagued the team. Senior Jeff Carter sus- tained an injury to his elbow which put him out for the sea- son. Then, Tim Early missed the first match with Potomac due to a hand injury. After that, ju- nior Andy Hall was kept off the mats due fo illness and injury. Captain Jim Hodge missed two matches because of a fa- 66 Wrestling cial injury, he received during the James Wood match. With three-fourths of the team gone and a breakdown of team spirit it was a struggle to go to practice knowing that going into a match would mean forfeiting 18 points. The season ended with eleven var- sity and five junior varsity wrest- lers. Because of the many los- ses of members, individual effort rather than a team per- formance was the focus for the season. Mark Lenzi, last years cham- pion at 105 thought, “We had the ingredients, good coaching, and good wres- tlers; all we needed was more team spirit, and more support from the school itself.” The team placed three members in districts and qualli- fied them to regionals: Tim Ear- ly, Andy Hall, and Steve Druiet.

But even with all their positive assets they still fell short in size and bench depth. “We could have won more but over alll it was a good year,” said junior Duane Wilson. The team started out with a couple of nondistrict losses, but turned around when they began their district play. The team’s overall shooting, rebounding, and hustle helped them throughout the season. The JV finished their season on a high note. They started out shakey but after they changed to a more “defense minded” game, the season started looking up. “We could put the ball in the bucket any- time we wanted to, but the teams were out scoring us On defense,” said sophomore Phil Jones. “The big turn around in our season came after we started working more defense in prac- tice; it wasn’t for the group but after seeing how it helped us win they knew it was impor- tant,” commented Coach Lou Sorrentino.

Varsity uae, Coach Nancy = Baughan had to choose. Her decision was be- tween making a stronger JV and varsity team, or making a freshman team which could acquire a year’s experience. The freshman team was formed, but with only eight members. The team played a few games with only six mem- bers when illness or injury affected players. “It was hard playing with only six,’’ said Julia Payne, “It was especially hard when there’s no substitute for you and you had to play the whole game.” The junior varsity was affected by lack of experi- ence. “I only had one experi- enced player on the team this year,’ said Coach Cathy VARSITY FORWARD Margaret Rooney makes a bounce pass fo one of her teammates when a Wood- bridge opponent blocks her way. block her.

Since the height wasn't there for the team, the girls had to perfect other methods of defending the ball, such as “sag the middle”, “fronting”, and “denying”. “We would like to see more girls get involved in the basket- ball program; with summer camps and intramurals, and to have more tryout for the team, said Coach Baughan. “We do need more students to go out for the team but we also need the support and spirit from the student body,” exclaimed varsity guard Marlo Brown.

W ith almost 500 members, the freshman class was larger than the others and therefore more prominent. To upper- classmen, the freshmen were just a bunch of kids. However, that “bunch of kids” proved they were to be reckoned with when they outcheered the other three Classes to win the spirit stick at the first pep rally. The sophomores weren'‘t hassled for being “new” anymore nor were the “big and bad” upperclassmen. They were stuck in the middle but they still had a place in tenth grade. Juniors were finally recognized as full fledged upperclassmen. They got their driver's licenses, took to the roads, and be- came known for their minor fender bend- ers. As they matured, they became lead- ers of clubs and sports squads and gained respect from their peers. Finally, after eleven long years the seniors had reached “the top.” And though they bragged about being the best, they lacked overall class spirit. They made up for it by their enthusiasm in simply making it to graduation. By the end of the year, the groups felt a common bond. Everybody had found a place to fit. .

In a senior class meeting at the beginning of the year seniors were told they could either pay $25 for dues and sell something during the year to help raise money or pay $30 for dues. It was voted on and majority ruled on the S30 dues price. But where does it all go? Mrs. Dunn, se- nior class sponsor, gave us a general run down on what seniors were getting for $30 and if it was worth paying so much to graduate with all the benefits.

During their year in the U.S., these young peo- ple had plenty of time to ad- just to “Stafford life.” Giancarlo Filartiga, from Paraguay, had already graduated from school in his Exchange country. He said that SHS was much different from school in Paraguay where 2,000 stu- dents filled grades one through twelve of the Spanish speaking school. After arriv- ing here, he particularly took interest in football and Ameri- can girls. Giancarlo’s host family was that of Chris, Mar- garet, and Patricia Rooney.

She enjoyed her stay, and like Giancarlo, said her other school was much different from ours. It didnt have a cafeteria, gym, or auditori- um, only classrooms. Fiona played basketball back home. With the Jarrells, she joined Young Life. When asked what she would tell her fellow Australians about the group, she exclaimed, “They're Crazy!” Two exchange students ar- rived from Europe. One was Knut-Erik Haheim from Nor- way. He stayed with the fami- ly of Ross and Ricky Hender- son. Both here and in Norway, Erik’s favorite form of recre- ation was “partying.” At his Norwegian school, he said that there was a large room 96 Seniors builf as a combination cafeteria and auditorium and used for school dances. The students raised money and purchased audio equip- ment such as strobe lights and large speakers fo fill the room. Arriving from a monastery in Holland, Danny Francken came to take post graduate courses. His varied talents in- cluded an interest in body- building, as well as fluency in Dutch, English, French, and German. These four exchange stu- dents came to SHS uncertain of whether they would “fit in.” But they left sadly, feeling that they had gained a whole new family.

For some students their ideal car was just a dream but with hard work and pati- ence senior Richie Fahnes- stock made his 1929 Model “A” Ford become a reality. He received ownership of the car in 1980 but a lot of work was needed. Setting up the frame including the motor, transmission, rear and front ends, paint and upholstery all needed to be done when he received the car. He got a job to help raise money to pay for parts. Once he had the money there were many hours of work ahead from the soring of 1982 until July 31, 1983. Hours not only put in by Richie but by his father and brother as well. They completed the car just in time for the NSRA meet in Oklahoma City where over 6,000 old cars were judged.

One of the first privileges enjoyed by juniors was the ordering of their class ring. Where did one start with all the options available — large chunky rings? dinner rings? petite rings? gem stones? birth- stones? India cut? fire burst? starfire? sunlight?

Almost There “Not Indian T-shirts again!” To help raise money for their Class, juniors sold mugs with the school emblem, the Indi- an, and school T-shirts. Their next project was Homecom- ing and their float “Show- boat’, which won second place. The class then sold Rain- bow gift items, which in- cluded bulletin boards, rain- bow magnets, and coasters. The annual Junior Class Vari- ety Show was scheduled to be presented in the spring. The class also provided a De- cember teacher's breakfast. Because of the prom’s ex- pense, Robby Desilets, Mark Gardner, Aaron Litten, and class sponsor Mrs. Mary Lou Pitzer went to Richmond to hire the band. “Krakajax” got the job.

Few people knew that junior David Sims spent much of his summer en- joying the sport at Fairview Beach. David lived in Miami, Florida, where he learned to sail and surf. After he moved to Fredericksburg, he looked for an alternative; instead he found a stimulating com- bination. David said, “It gives you a sensation you just can’t describe, you have to experi- ence it.” At times, it could get really hectic. The board could get up to 20 m.p.h. just skimming the tops of the waves, “If can be extremely demanding,” David said. On the Potomac there were few big waves, so David concen- trated on Freestyle. Summing up his feeling on windsurfing, David said, “| love it.” O DAVID SIMS does some last minute checking on his sail before going out into the water, Sharon Martin Karen Masterson Chris Matherly Greg Maynard Billy McCarty Mark McCarty Terry McCloud Danny McEntee Erin McFall Michelle McGuire Molly McQuary James Mellick Daphne Melson Kevin Mickens 106 Juniors SETTING SAIL on the Potomac River, David tries some freestyle wind- surfing.

Meetings were held for the “Confederates” at the Butler Road activity center. Promotions came by serving time and by elec- tions. There was a yearly fee of ten dollars for dues, which was used to buy black pow- der for the rifles. Battles were researched e | % i, feee bighe tons. ee 7 . we .

They all seemed to make it sooner or later. Class officers for the sopho- mores planned a spring so- cial early in the year and sponsored a dance after a basketball game to raise money for activities. They also planned a community Christmas project. “We have not decided what it will be yet,” said Ms. Bobbi Blalock, Sophomore class sponsor. Sophomore class meetings were infrequent; therefore, plans made were tentative. O Class Officers: Front Row: Treasur- er Buffy Seskey, Secretary Dawn Chil- dress.

After dragging her body from bed, she had 45 minutes until she had to be in her swimsuit and on the front step of the Fredericksburg YMCA. Being on the String Rays, a locally organized swim team, meant practice from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. 118 Freshmen nearly every moming of the week. Weekends were usual- ly spent out of town at differ- ent meets. In April 1982, Jan de- veloped tendonitis in her right shoulder and, as a result, she had been in and out of the water since the spring of ‘82. When Jan asked to fell about the funnier moments of swimming, she replied, “Once when | was swimming a 200 meter freestyle in a meet, | lost count of my lengths and stopped swim- ming after six lengths when | was supposed fo swim eight.” “Another time a girl who was supposed to swim in a relay failed to show up. | was standing on the side of the pool, with a towel around my neck, while the first two peo- ple swam. All of a sudden my coach yelled, ‘Quick Jan, come swim this!’ | gave someone my hot dog, threw my towel down, ran, and jumped on the starting block, just in time to dive in and swim.” Although swimming has had some lighter moments for her, Jan agrees that com- petition takes dedication and lots of time. A two hour early moming practice Ccou- pled with school left very few open spaces in her 18 hour day. JAN GALLAHER takes position to start a 100 meter freestyle event at Pleasant Valley pool.

Their big debut was at the first pep rally, where they really showed their stuff. The size of the freshman class had a lot to do with their noise level. They were the largest class to come fo Stafford since the split shifts in 1979. Their spirit and enthusiasm carried them through Home- coming. Feverishly, they worked after schoo! making a float that successfully fit their theme of Cinderella. |n order for the class of 1987 to buy supplies to make their float, they sold T-shirts and Christmas ornaments. Their enthusiastic sponsor Ms. Lorie Camp was also a big factor in freshman spirit. Her main goal was to try to get them involved, in class activities, wholeheartedly. 0 FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS.

When their season ended, the Sabers held a party at Pizza Hut to celebrate and to give out trophies. Andrew was desig- nated to deliver ‘The Speech.” He stood up, and after an embarrassing pause he spoke, “Uh, | really en- joyed it. The kids had a good time and | think the parents did, too!

Thinking of Others Extracurricular activities for students meant doing all the neat things and seeing all the great places they didn’t have time for during the average school day. While the activities were great for the students it meant a faculty member had to be willing to give their after 2:30 time for the “good” of others. Although coaching carried a modest supplement, club sponsors received no extra funds for their labor. Deadlines for publications had to be mef, spaghetti dinners had to be prepared, and dances had to be chaperoned. All of these activities required numerous hours of preparation depend- ing on the standard set. Teachers got the opportuni- ty to meet with students outside the classroom atmosphere without the pressure of lectures and testing. Extra activities gave the teachers and stu- dents a chance to know each other on a casual basis. 0 132 Faculty JUST BEFORE the halftime show SCA sponsor Mr. Gerald Brown readies the royal limo for the Homecoming King and Queen.

Personal messages scratched on tiny squares of paper and slipped warily to friends. Pencils scratching. A sideways glance to a class mate. All were part of an average 50 minute class period. While teachers had total authority over their students, the students were always trying to usurp their control. Teachers often found it was hard to keep a class discus- sion on track of the topic being studied. Students became experts at changing dis- cussions into talks about events away from school before the teachers could ever realize what was happening. In the pro- cess, the kids added their own personal touch to all aspects of learning. Students became skilled at lip reading and sign language only they could de- cipher. Education was a process achieved through communication between educa- tors and their pupils. At SHS, education be- came bearable to the student as they de- vised their own ways of getting the mes- sage across. O GETTING AWAY from necessary research, two stu- dents flip through magazines in one of the octogons in the library. ALVIN Y. BANDY Academics Divider 135 Eyes Were On You Eyes were on you. Mo- ments before you had been going over and over all the thoughts of what you were going to say. Your palms were sweat- ing, chills were going up your spine, and for a few frightening seconds you totally forgot everything yOu were supposed to say. Suddenly, the words came spurting out exactly the way you wanted them to, and you felt like you could talk on and on forever. Whether you were in En- glish class giving a report or in drama performing a play, every student, at least once, had to get up in front of an audience to JONG WI] :PeINjold speak about a topic. Sophomore Buffy Sesky summed it up, “Drama really helps when it comes to English. For example, when | have to do a soeech | just think of it as doing a soliloquy for dra- ma. | don’t hyperventilate anymore when the teach- er calls my name, and | don’t feel like my tongue has become an enormous ‘BLOB.’ Sometimes | even volunteer to go first!” “Give drama back to Stafford High!’” were the words written on the “gripe” board. Drama stu- dents, especially seniors, were upset because the fall production had been cancelled. Due to medi- cal problems, Mrs. Marion Robinson was unable to direct any plays. Adding to these problems, she was involved in an automobile accident which left her hospitalized. Therefore, Mrs, Millie Hollis, the substi- tute, and Miss Katie Walk- er, the student teacher, took over for nine weeks. Drama for some fresh- man English classes in- cluded a trip to the Lazy Susan dinner theater on November 1, fo see Kis- met. Students in Mrs. Judy Kosinski’s English classes used a video taping to dramatize advertising practices and pitfalls. Mrs. Natalie Davis’ fres hmen classes cared for potatoes and personalized them in descriptive writing exer- cises. Even though drama and English were difficult, if you put forth the effort it did pay off. Whether you did work at your desk or tried to captivate an audience as junior drama student, Forest Clift, said, “You think of all the hard work you put info a production and then someone tells you how good you're doing and how much they enjoyed it. It’s really rewarding!” ( 136 Engtish and Drama TO PERFECT HIS PART, senior Bil- ly West rehearses a scene with student teacher Katie Walker dur- ing Advanced Drama.

If was the Media Center! Students crowded around the peri- meter and separated into their respective groups to catch up on the news. From browsing through magazines, to reading novels and researching re- ports the library had some- thing for everyone. The large open area made it difficult to keep up with books. “We lose between 900 to 1200 books each year,” said Ms. Marguerite Shiffler, school librarian. Given one wish Mr. Bob Wallace, media specialist, would get a satellite dish for the roof of the school. If the school got one, any television inside the school could pick up shows from anywhere in the world. Not only would shows from other countries help students better learn a for- eign language, but travel- ing to other countries gave first hand help. An expanding activity in the foreign language de- partment was the opportu- nity for eighth graders to take a language at the high school level. “Taking Latin in the eighth grade helped with my English,” stated eighth grader Jen- nifer Ryan. “Foreign language classes gave the students a view of a culture that was not familiar,” commented Mrs. Betty Merrill, Latin teacher. Mrs. Merrill also said, “The study of a foreign language is the ultimate in a liberal education be- cause it frees a student ina new way more than any other subject, and it allows the student to see that his way is not the only way.” Junior Aaron Litten com- mented, “‘Latin is'a@ blast!” 0 Media Foreign Language 139 AT GALLENKAMPS SHOES se- nior DE student, Kevin Bruce helps senior Kathy Ramsey select a pair of shoes.

ICT plus DE and COE made up the Stafford job training programs. Stu- dents were graded partly on classroom activities, but the main goal of each course was to give on the job experience. ICT covered jobs that in- volved working with peo- ple. In class, students learned how to fill out ap- plications, how to write a AT THE PRINCESS ANN TEX- ACO, senior ICT student Ben Schooler repairs a car engine. resume, and how to act at an interview. Day care center worker Kadie Seay commented, “Working at Childs’ World has really educated me. | know how to negotiate between two screaming people and how to kiss a finger and make it better.” “That will be $7.25 ma’‘am, would you like it gift wrapped?” DE was available for stu- dents with jobs in selling merchandise. Students stud- ied such topics as the management and own- ership of a business. “Will you type out this brief for the Jonn Doe vs. People case?” COE trained students to be office workers. The classroom was geared to- wards specific personal leaming. “That's what's dif- ferent between COE and DE or ICT,” stated Business Department Head Mrs. Judy Bunn. “We can give students help in specific areas.” In all three courses the coordinators worked closely with the students. As COE coordinator Mrs. Mary McCauley stated, “Coordinator is an every- thing job. We're more like counselors than skill teachers.” O WORKING as a library aide se- nior Anne Sullivan types library cards for her job in COE.

In this way, they set the whole number to dance. “People don’t realize all the hard work we do,” said sophomore Sarah Fears. “It also takes guts fo go on stage and put if on.” Guts were also a re- quirement for another mu-- sic Course: strings. “We don’t like going out to perform in front of the student body. At least our parents are polite,” stated sophomore violinist Renee Zisman. Students work during class to prepare for their fall and spring concerts. All of them had been play- ing their particular instru- ment for at least three years. “You have to have some amount of talent to play a stringed instrument,” com- mented instructor Mr. Steve Robinette. “They’re more difficult than you think.” The madrigals choir worked with their instru- ments — their voices — also. The major difference Song in madrigals was the num- ber of freshman. “It used to be a traidition to tryout at the beginning of your sophomore, junior, and se- nior years,’ said senior Mark Jones, “now they‘re trying out as freshmen too.” “| think we need a theory class as a prerequisite to madrigals,” commented senior Cathy Dodd, “A lot of people are coming in here, and they just aren’t prepared.” Choral director Mrs. Carolyn Seay had no time for another class because she also taught English classes. Her goal was to get more boys involved in music. “It would be really nice in show choir,” she said, “because then we could have an entirely dif- ferent style. Without boys, we're really limited.” 0 USING INTENSE CONCENTRA- TION, violinists Melanie Nini, Rhonda Sanders, and Renee Zis- man practice music for the Christ- mas concert during Mr. Steve Robinette’s strings class.

Boys, however, are less inhibited. That’s why most good chefs are boys.” Attitude also played an important part in cosmetology class.

Then they would prac- tice what they had learned on manne- quins, and _ finally, each other. That was just for hairdressing. Eventu- ally, second year stu- dents would learn makeup. Most of the students were working towards careers as hairdressers. However, before they could go looking for jobs, they had to pass the state board exams for their license.

Art, Drafting 151 VAST AREAS What is that place down there, across from guid- ance? Oh, that’s the voca- tional wing. The what? The vocational wing is the place where classes such as Agricultural Science, Auto Mechanics, and Com- munications Technology are taught to students interested, in a “hands on” career. In Agricultural Science, students learned about plant science, the history of Agriculture, leadership training, and welding. Many students believed that agriculture was only about studying farming and farm tools, Out Mr. Rus- ty Hall said, “Students are just misinformed.” He also commented that with only twenty-one students, the program was almost “unjustifiable.” Learning to respect wide open spaces is a re- sult of taking agriculture. However, to be a good auto mechanic, a student must respect the vehicle used to travel the wide open spaces. In Auto Mechanics class, a student was taught basic job entry skills, enough so he could become an apprentice. Mr. Chris Blazek said that he had twenty-one stu- dents, but he was pleased 152 Agr., Auto. Mech., Comm. Tech with the number. “If total enrollment was checked, the overall number isn’t down, it is just a result of the new school opening,” he added. Understanding the essen- tial value of getting an idea across wide open spaces was learned in Com- munications Technology. The course introduced students to different ways to communicate with printed materials. Mr. Vic- tor Long said he had about fifty students and was very pleased with that number. Getting more students to enroll in the classes was a big concern of most of the vocational teachers. Mr. Hall commented, “What we have to do is talk to the students and inform them.” Mr. Long said, “We are handing out a pamphlet describing the courses for the guidance counselors to distribute.” Vast Areas — agricul- ture students learned to respect and use them; Auto Mechanics students learned to repair the vehicles to travel them, and Communication Technology students learned to get ideas across them. 0 Macias: i enti se bs MAN ily WORKING WITH the offset press junior Jonathan Pendleton gets ready to print one page of a col- oring book for his communica- tions project.

A.P. classes are different from regular classes in that the pace is quicker and the volume of work is greater. It’s up to the stu- dent to complete his work in time. Because of the large amount of material covered each day, it was important that students WHILE SENIORS Todd Repass and Susan Truslow listen atten- tively, A.P.

En- glish, senior Ed Christina re- plied, “At least an hour ev- ery night, plus all my spare time, and I’m still behind.” All of this studying was actually preparation for final tests which deter- mined whether or not col- lege credit for the class was received. College credit was the reason many of the stu- dents took an A.P. class. “Not many of mine are going into writing related careers,” stated A.P. En- glish teacher Mrs. Winona Siegmund. Other students took the classes for the challenge or the fun of it. “We didn’t know what we were getting into,” said senior calculus student Danny Vittoria. “A lot of mine are history buffs,’’ said A.P. History teacher Mrs. Agnes Dunn. “Liking history is important in this course because of all the work we do,” Besides academic ben- efits, being in an A.P. class was a sign of prestige. Only the best in the school at history, math, or English were chosen. Things such as PSAT scores, other stan- dardized test scores, and teacher and guidance rec- ommendations are all used as selection criteria for choosing students. Se- nior calculus student Troy Altizer proclaimed the fi- nal judge: “God!” 0 DURING THE CLASS DISCUS- SION in A.P.

One Step ata Time Back to basics for some means getting back to math and grammar, but to the Special Education stu- dent it meant learning the things that were usually taken for granted by most people. In Mrs. Susan Boggs Multi Handicapped class students spent time learning practical things for everyday life. Working hard at practical skills be- came even more appar- ent in Miss Barbara McDaniel’s Severly Unpro- founded class where the kids worked on interaction with other children. The basic motor skill of walking was the learning objective for eight students. Why would Mrs. Boggs or Miss McDaniel want to teach Special Education? The most obvious reason is that they wanted to help people in some way, but there was more fo it. For instance, Mrs. Boggs liked to see her students eager to learn and please. She said, “Most of the time my kids are very respectful and trusting and | like that.” On the other hand, Miss McDaniel liked to see her students’ personalities develop and she com- mented, “One thing | don’t feel is sorry for them.” Just the skill of learning to walk to these kids was not a basic it was Gm essential.

Math students wondered if they’d ever make it through equations, formulas, and proofs. However, all students admitted a need for math. Algebra | students re- viewed fractions and started into proofs while geometry classes did hardly anything else. Most students like math as long as they understand it. Sophomore Brenda Kaila said, “Math is okay; it depends on who the teacher is.” Sophomore Phil Jones adds, “'l like math; | just can’t do it.” Most students think that business courses such as Accounting require diffi- cult math. Students found out that they were wrong. All they needed was to add and subtract. The course was restricted to juniors and seniors who would learn an organized way of keeping books and records. When asked to state the biggest problem students had with the class, Ac- counting teacher Mr. Mar- 158 Math, General Bus., Account vin Baker said, “They want to memorize everything in- stead of applying their knowledge. Accounting is a step by step progression. Every test is like an exam. We cover in one week, what a college course covers in one day.” Junior Martha Mock commented, “It’s really easy, if you keep up from the beginning.” Another business class offered was General Busi- ness. This class was de- signed to teach an under- standing of economics in use in a student’s personal and business life. Sooho- more Joey Chase said,” General Business is an easy credit! If gets pretty boring though; if you walked into our class you'd find three fourth’s of the class snoozing.” Math, Accounting, and business classes added more specific material for students to learn. Simple adding and subtracting were only the beginning in building toward smooth management of personal finances.

Meeting fu- ture needs through a trade is anticipated by knowing past and current situations. In academic studies like history, a student also learns to improve the world from the mistakes made by earlier genera- tions. Social studies students built towards their futures when Mrs. Joanne Payne, Government and world studies teacher, and her students adopted elderly people. Through the adoption students de- veloped a sense of re- sponsibility to the elderly. National history was ex- plored by Miss Charlotte Mills’, American Studies students through comple- tion of colonial American projects. Building for the future also took place in Mr. Charles Moore’s carpentry classes, The students built an addition at the Staf- ford land fill and remodeled a house at Pratt Park. Mr. Beverly and his masonry classes met cur- rent needs by building two Cugouts for North Stafford. Combined efforts of sever- al trade classes produced a school sign. The base structure was built by Mr. Beverly’s students from plans drawn by the draft- ing department, while Mr. Moore's carpentry classes made the letters. “The reason most students take masonry classes is be- cause they like to work with their hands and are planning to make a living out of it.

Clubs had to meet wherever they could find an available room. Some- times they were given a room only to find it was a room that nobody wanted. It wasn't always a room appropriate to their needs. The yearbook staff, with over 20 mem- bers, was crammed into a small music practice room. The room wasn’t square, it was more of a trapezoidal shape which made it difficult to arrange work tables and storage cabinets for the entire staff. Also, the darkroom was upstairs which made communication with the media specialist difficult. The newspaper staff was assigned a large English classroom for their work area. They were centrally located to all of the major departments within the school, but they couldn’t leave work mate- rials within the room. Club activities were as varied us the rooms where they met. They had to work hard to meet goals just as much as they had to make do with assigned meeting rooms.

A desire for perfection also moti- vated the cheerleaders and members of the pep club, as all worked to generate school spirit. The band learned their music and routines at band camp, held the week be- fore school started, and at after school band practices. The number of members grew from thirty to forty members, causing sophomore flute player Teresa Crisp to re- mark, “The band has a more powerful sound because there are more people. This sound was improved continuously at practices. However, band members had to work constantly since a third of the band was freshmen.” “The freshmen have really come through for us,” commented band. director Mr. Dennis Brown.

They learned pre- cise movements with their flags to music such as “Veracruz” and “Separate Ways.” In spite of some difficulty in leaming their P routines, the flag girls proudly performed | with their new flags at competitions and performances.

They also attended the State Fair Marching Band competition and took second place atthe James Madison Homecoming Parade. Like the band members, cheerleaders began their preparations early. Their year started with cheerleader camp in July at the University of Richmond. They held prac- tices every Monday of the summer to per- fect old cheers as well as to learn new ones. At every football and basketball game, the cheerleaders boosted spirit with their moves and cheers. The varsity cheer- leaders also participated in and placed second at the Park and Shop cheerlead- ing competition. Freshman cheerleader Shaun Scott remarked about cheerlead- ing, “It’s fun and exciting, but sometimes | get nervous when | see all the people watching.” The pep club also took on the job of raising school spirit. They made signs for every game, and went to the varsity foot- ball games to cheer the team on. “I like going to the games the best,’” commented pep club member Deena Brown. The pep club also helped the community. They raised money for charity with a car wash and a flea market. The activities of the band, the cheer- leaders, and the pep club helped gener- ate school spirit. Each group reached for perfection, whether it was in making music, initiating routines, leading cheers, or paint- ing signs and generally raising the roof.

Spirit 169 Overtime It was the last period of the day, a time when most teachers and students slumped in desks and tried to dream away the last hour of school. Yet, there were still two rooms that were overflowing with activity. The newspaper and yearbook staffs orga- nized their minds to work on copy, layouts, and sectional deadlines during sixth period. For these students it was a time to coordinate details, set interviews and sketch ideas that would have to be put into the proper place of a final puzzle. Their solutions had begun in the summer months when eight members of the Indian Legend staff attended the Hunter Year- book Seminar in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “For four days we attended six one hour classes about layout design and copy techniques,” said sophomore Billy Howell. Senior Dori Mills and sophomore Sara Fears, members of the newspaper staff, were full of ideas after retuming from an Editor’s Clinic at Virginia Common- wealth University in Richmond. “Sara and | worked on layout designs and copy writing most of the time but speakers were a very big part of the work shop,” commented Dori. Senior Ellen Jones exclaimed, “We came back exhausted but content from knowing that we learned more at the work- shops than we ever thought possible!” In addition, yearbook editor Dennis Silver summed it up, “the staff works so hard and sometimes we get frustrated, but after you're all through and see the work pub- lished, you realize it was worth all of it!” © NEWLY RELEASED Indian Smoke Signals are being sold by sophomore Buffy Sesky during an extended homeroom, YEARBOOK EDITOR Dennis Silver and staff member Suzanne Carr read comments made by judges of the Virginia High School League.

Students griped about the lack of social activities because, as junior Amy Clotfelter explained, “Fredericksburg isn’t what you’d call the most active city in Virginia.” By joining a foreign language club, stu- dents were able to escape from Frederick- sourg and travel through the culture of another land. “When a student joins a club in our de- partment, he learns more about the lan- guage we're studying,” explained Spanish instructor Miss Lorie Camp. The German Club also took their annual trio to Busch Gardens where German stu- dents from all over Virginia gathered on October 29, 1983, to share their “German” experiences. The purpose of each activity was “to give students something to do and a place to go while learning,” said Ger- man Club sponsor Mrs. Linda Cannon. The Foreign Language Department had planned trips to Europe over spring break but the school board canceled the plans. “Not allowing the clubs to go is an infringe- ment on our rights — but a relief for the sponsors!’ explained Miss Camp. AIl- though disappointed with the school board decision, club members main- tained their enthusiasm. The number of members in each club grew and the goal set for the coming school year was fo “promote interest and give students a chance to be a part of a group,” stated Latin Club soonsor Mrs. Bet- ty Merrill.

There are many clubs and organizations for talented and gifted students. They can be involved in forensics, S.C.E.N.E., or Battle of the Brains. On December 1, sophomores Alan Can- non and Louis Keiner, juniors Erin McFall, Bobby Jett and alternate Eric Swisher traveled to Richmond to match wits with students from Henrico High School. These students were the members of the “Battle of the Brains” team. “Being on television was scary, but kind of neat. | hope that we win next year!” mentioned team member Alan Cannon. Stafford lost a very close battle; the final score was 205 to 180. “The biggest requirement for students to become S.C.E.N.E. members is that they must be committed,” said Miss Retta Rob- bins. S.C.E.N.E. is made up of fiffy three stu- dents who have been designated as hav- ing superior talents or abilities. “S.C.E.N.E. students get to go a lot of places and see a lot of things that we would not normally get to see, such as the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland; and a variety of per- formances,” stated sophomore S.C.E.N.E. member Margaret Rooney. Whether academically talented stu- dents were traveling to new places, speak- ing in front of audiences, or appearing on educational television shows, they did more than homework. FRESHMAN Ross Henderson leans back in his desk while reapplying for the second semester. S.C.E.N.E. met once a month during the school year; lectures were planned, and members were encouraged to participate. SIGNING UP for future field trips during the January meeting, freshmen Ross Henderson and Marci Lewis, sophomore Coleen Kenny, and junior Terry McCloud wait their turn. Problem ® Brain Power Solvers The symbol (X) represents the greatest integer which is less than or equal to x. Find the value of x for which the product of x and (x) equals 28. This was a problem on a Virginia Math League test. Math club members pre- pared for such problems by going over their mistakes on former tests and usi ng old tests to practice their math skills. The math club was made up of math lovers from Alge- bra to AP, Calculus. The goal of the math club was to help its members receive high scores on the state and na- tional math tests and com- pete for scholarship prizes. Although if was a new club, its achievements were seen immediately as Stafford led the region with the highest scores on the Virginia Math League Tests. The value of the math club was in the high scores its members received on all tests including Achievements and SATs through working problems such as the above example.

Getting up and going to school for these students also meant preparing themselves for work. For DECA members, school was only half of their day. Each member was also a stu- dent in a Distributive Education class. These students left schoo! each day after three classes to go to their jobs. Throughout the year, members also competed with other students in the district to display their job skills. If they did well on written tests, interviews and situation tests, members attended the state competition in Roanoke. “This puts students in contact with other schools and a world outside of Fredericks- burg,” explained DECA sponsor Russel Holladay. DECA gave members a chance to find a career and introduced them to the com- petitive business world. FBLA members, on the other hand, were trained in business skills during school and were allowed fo test their knowledge through club activities. The 205 active members of FBLA raised money through Tom Watt sales and a Halloween dance. The money raised was spent buying Christ- mas and Thanksgiving baskets for eight needy families in the Fredericksburg area. “It’s a responsibility. Not only to the club and the community but to ourselves”. stated junior Martha Mock. FBLA and DECA gave students a look at |. the’ “business world.” Each member was § introduced to working, serving and surviv- ing in their community. “We learn more about people and life ' each day,” stated junior Mark Gardner. ae Useful tips and skills that were acquired and used by students give the members of FBLA and DECA an advantage over others who will compete in the world of busi- ness.

Extra Edge The daily news report: unemployment was up, and while the recession seemed to be ending, jobs were still scarce. Students going into the business world out of high school faced an uncertain future where every advantage was important. Voca- tional clubs provided this extra edge to their members. V.ILC.A., (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America), helped its members to gain ex- perience in seven different vocations: car- pentry, masonry, auto mechanics, elec- tricity, drafting, cosmetology, and |.C.T. Each division held activities in class and attended a general meeting once a month to helo members gain experience in the vocations in which they were in- terested. However, the club was not alll work, During National V.I.C.A. week, the carpentry students dressed up in work clothes one day to show their spirit. V.I.C.A. members also had chances fo test their skills in contests throughout the year. Two more clubs offering an advantage to their members were the F.H.A. (Future Homemakers of America) and H.E.R.O. (Home Economics Related Organizations) clubs. Members learned skills in areas such as cooking and home management. They had speakers visit and talk about such sub- jects as nutrition, interior designing, make- up, and parliamentary procedure.

For students interested in a career in agri- culture, F.F.A. (Future Farmers of America) offered not only training in such skills as forestry and farming, but also helped to develop leadership and business skills. Parliamentary procedure used during their meetings helped teach business proce- dures. The C.O.E. (Cooperative Office Educa- tion) helped students wishing to learn to work in an office. Although the club was only two years old, it helped its members gain skills and experience for their jobs out- side the school. Students facing an uncertain future out- side of high school needed every advan- tage in order to make their futures more secure. Vocational clubs helped their members gain the extra edge that they needed. 0 CONCENTRATING INTENSELY Wade Turmer strips negatives for a project in his electricity class.

Friends in As students passed by the bulletin board, they saw that a new board had been put up. It was different from the rest of the bulletin boards around the school. There were no cute drawings or encourag- ing words. All that ithad was a photograph of acar which had been totally smashed in an accident and a warming that drinking and driving don’t mix. S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) is a nation-wide organization of high school students.

They put up posters, made announcements, and worked on a bulletin board to get their message across to the student body. “Stafford has not yet had a student die because of drunk driving, and we are trying to keep it from happening,” explained Amy. Another club concerned about others was the N.H.S. (National Honor Society). The members gave extra tutoring to students needing help in such areas as higher math and science, and foreign languages.

Members also visited the teen- agers at the juvenile detention center. The N.H.S, also arranged assemblies to reward students who made the honor roll, and gave out honor roll certificates. They raised money for these projects by selling programs at the varsity football games and concessions at home basketball games. The Key Club members were also busy throughout the year working for the stu- dents’ community. They held their annual blood drive near the beginning of the school year. The members encouraged Figs i Oa ee students to participate by putting up post- ers announcing the blood drive and helped the Red Cross members by giving out snacks and drinks to students that had donated blood as well as taking students’ temperatures. Key Club members also per- formed such tasks as running the elevator forhandicapped and injured students and parking cars during the varsity football games. At every home varsity football game, the Key Club held a fifty-fifty raffle to raise money, Each of these clubs dedicated their time to serving others.

For many Stafford students this line meant the beginning of another boring list of school announcements. For those involved in the SCA, it was a time for communication. Morn- ing announcements were made fo let everyone know what was “going on” during the week and helped to fulfill the main objective set by the SCA to be a carrier of information between the administration and the student body. SCA projects were partially funded by sounds from the jukebox at 25¢ a tune which provided a steady income of twenty five dollars a week. The traditional Homecom- ing festivities were planned and funded by the SCA. The stadium had to be decorated before the game, the cafeteria had to be transformed before the dance, and every- one involved had to be decorated with flowers. Beyond activity coordination, the SCA ini- tiated a system to recognize academically superior students. The final decision was to award those students with a 95.5 average an academic letter. “We finally set up an Academic Letter System. Everyone is ex- cited about it!’” exclaimed SCA vice presi- dent Laura Haley. “We work so very hard to make high school more fun,” commented SCA sponsor JoAnn Payne.

He 194 Booster Clubs “Because We Care’ Hoards of hungry Stafford Indian fans crowded the concession stand pushed and shoved their way to the front. Money was passed back and forth to buy every- thing from lollipops to hot dogs to Cokes. Hurried parents of band members rushed around collecting money and handing over food. The concession stand and other fund raising projects were organized and run by Stafford Band Boosters and Athletic Boosters. These organizations financially supplemented the band and sports teams. Band Boosters were a group of parents dedicated to supporting the band. Many of them put in hours of their own time in fund raising activities. Mrs. Shirley Northrup, ways and means chairman, explained, “We're here because we care. | think that every parent who has a child in the band should help out.” Some other fund raising activities were bake sales and yard sales. The concession stand was their biggest fund raiser with for- ty percent of the profits going to the ath- letic department. Remaining money eamed by the Band Boosters was used to buy instruments, music, and uniforms, and to pay for band trips. One of their biggest projects was purchasing new uniform blouses and capes for the band. They also contributed by buying flags for the band front. One Booster member, Mrs. Alice Long used her own money to buy new uniforms, rifles and cases for the rifle squad. Many other Band Booster members also made personal donations. The athletic department was similarly funded by the Athletic Boosters. At their meetings, which took place twice a month, parents discussed such fund raising ideas as a fashion show, a pizza sale, and a bazaar. They also sponsored profession- [7% al wrestling matches to raise money. The money raised by the Athletic Boosters went toward chartering buses for away sports competitions, buying uniforms, and sup- plying awards for the athletes. The Stafford Booster Clubs were an essential part of the band and athletic pro- grams. “All of the money we use, except what is provided by the county, is given to us by the Band Boosters. Without them the band | would eventually shrink to nothing,” com- mented Mr. Dennis Brown, band director.

It all started the Wednesday before, with ques- tions like, “What are you doing this weekend?”, “Any parties?” or “Are you going to the . game?” or “See you at the Mall!” No matter what they did it was never what they told their parents! Especially if they were going away for the weekend. _ Usually after every home foot- _ ball and basketball game there was a dance sponsored by a club or organization. Movies were still popular, but not nearly as exciting as a PARTY! Whether it b e at a home or motel, it was the place to be.

Laughter from the “party games” dis- turded the other paying guests next door, If all else failed, you could cruise McDonald's and not eat a thing, which usually resulted in police or security guards asking the participants to leave. Some played pool at the pool hall next fo the George Washington Inn or simply would ride up and down Rt14 until your gas tank hit empty. because of the lack of variety and student imagination, night life was rather dull. 0 -O- Quann, Christopher 124 Quann, Pamela 107, 183 Raach, Michael 124 Racine, Edward 107, 183 Racine, Lisa 107 Rafferty, Kelly 107 Raines, Christopher Index 201 RAINES Raines, Mark Ryan, Jennifer 107, 139 Sielicki, Mike 21, 100, 181 Smith, Anthony 126 Raines, Michael 124 Silver, Dennis 3, 100, 163, 170, 173, 175, 186 Smith, Daryl Anthony 126 Ramsey, Kathy 3, 12, 25, 41, 98, 140 Silver, Gordon 108, 183 tl oN M. 54, 55, 70, 108 Silver, Rhonda 108 TONG Silla! = NY Sivee Serre dos Smith, Donna 60, 74, 75, 100 Daridcl.

They also began to look back upon everything they had accomplished during the school. Seniors had achieved the ultimate goal — diplomas — signifying an end to their re- quired school education. For some, it was the end of te- dious, boring lessons that meant nothing to them person- ally. To others, the high school diploma was simply a step to future education. They looked forward to the challenges and freedoms of college life. To all seniors, the end of high school meant they had to enter an adult world. Everyone was a little nervous about whether or not they could find a place to fit into a world that was con- stantly changing. The underclassmen looked SET UP in a back comer of the band room, freshman Robert Beales and sophomore Billy Hall work on their tim- ing of drum taps. 204 Closing toward moving up another grade level. The freshmen were relieved that they wouldn‘t be underdogs any- more and the juniors promised to make their senior year the best ever. The athletes saw the end of another year of competition. They could decide whether they were really suited to the sports they played based upon their records. Then they could make decisions about their future careers in sports. The economy improved and home construction was on the rise. Along with more new homes in the county came dozens of transfer students. At first, they were shy and uncer- tain of their place among the student body. By the end of school, their uncertainty had turned to happiness. They had not only made new friends they had also gotten involved in activities within the school. continued PUNCHING the correct codes into the | computer, junior Maryanne Neumann works On a personal program.

Closing 205 They had a place of their own among the student body. For students who wanted to be a part of the latest craze in fashions, Dunk and new wave styles were a must. They had to choose between mini-skirts, bright colors, and unusual cuts of fabric as to what was suit- able to their personality. But some students still preferred the well established redneck and preppy styles. The latest looks were too radical for their taste. Radical change in the school came in another form. The school and community were shocked at the firing of bookkeeper Mrs. Helen Wamer and the replacement of Mr. Samuel Cox as principal. Stu- dents were saddened at their losses and the community de- manded to know why the changes were made. The school board said “it was part of an ongoing state police in- vestigation into alleged dis- crepancies in school financial records.’ All concerned wished the best for Mr. Cox as the loss of his leadership meant further uncertainties. The investigators led by Com- monwealth’s Attorney Mr. Daniel Chichester didn’t know when the pieces of the story would finally fit together.
