The skit was per- formed for up-coming What makes it tick? Making The Gra school. A secretary carrying a key briskly walked into the room containing the failure and success stories of each of the 1,568 students. These guarded rec- ords were housed behind a massive steel door beside the guidance depart- ment. She searched for the files of a senior who needed his grades for a college application. His school ex- periences neatly packed into a manila folder, would it be enough to make it? Making the grade. Making a good gerade. ‘“‘Sometimes I feel like my whole life is graded,’ exclaimed Mark Lenzi. “So much emphasis is put on winning in sports and making good erades.”’ New state guidelines required 20 credits for graduation beginning in freshmen visiting the Self Image Art III student David Payne observes one of many modern art struc- tures in front of the East Wing Gallery.

What did it mean? More time to do the work. Stay in the classroom and do your assignments. No more field trips, no more meetings during class time just stay in your cubicle and work. | Seniors screamed ‘‘we don’t get out in May to practice walking in nice straight lines for graduation cere- monies?” Ten day early dismissal for seniors was a thing in the past. “Time on Task will definitely help the school system as a whole,”’ stated Principal Samuel P. Cox. ‘‘However, more hours in the classroom may not necessarily mean better grades.”’ Was this new rule going to change the daily routine? With the pressures of doing well for a good grade, only time would tell if ““Time on Task” meant ‘‘making the grade.” ee = a by whi ee Spe i! me — ee _— , oo ieee ae} - i : ; as mr) 6 ne % eee gel x Leaves on the Lake From the practice fields, the fall season provides the color for a panoramic view of the campus. a , .

After sliding, rolling, and falling all over the field, the dry dirt and dead grass stuck to their skin.

To excite the specta- tors they scream, shout and release balloons into the evening sky. On Monday before Homecom- ing, most students didn’t know what was ahead for the week. Their main concern on this day was dressing in the most casual work-out wear. On toga day the students became more aware, but David Sims’ only question was, “Did you see how some of those girls were dressed?!”’ After a flash of trenchcoats and a multitude of nerds, people were primed to cut loose in the Any- thing Goes competition. On Friday the seniors sported their class T- shirts. A splash of blue and gold streamed down every hallway and lunchline. When Friday night rolled around, those who wanted to could enjoy a spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Key Club. This was the peak of the week for foot- ball players. They downed their pile of noodles like it was their last meal. Lineman Greg Wellerman re- torted, “I only had one plateful!”’ Pasta provided the power for runners to twist free and receivers Bruised Bodies and Tired Tonsils After a grueling first half, football players and cheerleaders lay back and anxiously wait for the completion of halftime activities. to make spectacular catches. The action-packed game had specta- tors on the edge of their seats. The enthusiasm continued as the floats that had been furiously worked on weeks before rolled by. As the select members of the senior class stepped off their float, the crowd suddenly fell from screams and chants to utter silence. The time came for the crowning of the king and queen as Principal Samuel Cox stepped out to the cen- ter of the field with a microphone. John Wilcox and Tracy Sullivan had been elected king and queen. Compared to the halftime high, enthusiasm dwindled as the team fell to a 35-21 defeat to Stonewall Jackson. Waking up late Saturday morn- ing after partying Friday night meant that there were just a few hours to prepare for the dance. Af- ter the male students found the homes of their dates and corsages and boutonnieres had been pinned on, it was off to an enchanted candlelight dinner.

She remarked, ‘“‘We try not to get too personal, but everyone knows I’m her daughter.” Steve Tuttle was employed at White Oak True Value Hardware, run by his brother. “‘It’s easy,’’ he de- clared. ‘‘I get away with a lot!” For these students, paychecks and allowances came from the same place, proving that running a busi- ness could truly be a family affair.

Even the country music supporters had their jaws fall open in shock. Before, a stu- dent could have avoided the music ex- plosion by turning down his radio. Now a person had to stay in the closet at home to protect himself. Funk to Heavy Metal sights and sounds invaded TV sets. Friday Night Videos increased in popularity with the general TV audience and MTV be- came available in area homes. Music also filled neighborhoods and subdivisions. A parent could have only guessed who was head-spinning and popping in their basement. It seemed that down every street another new band cranked out its own versions of popular songs.

What MWC lost, the Capital Center in Maryland and the Richmond Colliseum made up for in big name en- tertainment. Scalped tickets for the Jackson’s Victory Tour advertised in the Washington Post sold for hundreds of dollars. Album and cassettes soared to re- cord sales. Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen released much awaited al- bums, both of which went platinum. Duran Duran and Culture Club stayed moderately popular, and the Jackson family musicians reaped big profits from Michael. But none could have compared to Prince’s purple passion. ‘‘I love him!”’ exclaimed Melina Davis. He starred in his own movie, Purple Rajn, and sold out a record seven shows at the Capital Centre. Did the land mark performer begin a new era? For the die hard rock and pro country fans, it’s just a matter of time. Hl by Billy Swaggerty Music WwW Making a Choice Signs from the times A collection of clothing from past years gave students the freedom of choice. Ever since good surf and crowded beaches people have worn Hawaiian print shirts, sun glasses and ‘‘Vans”’ tennis shoes. Then again, flannel shirts and baseball hats had existed as long as White Oak and Hartwood. Because so many wide-brimmed hats, baggy pants and pointy jazz shoes were worn, a student might think he lived in the roaring ’20’s. But what about the 1940’s pumps the girls wore? The leather jackets, T-shirts and ever popular jeans from the ’50’s in- fluenced dress, also. Graffiti artists peaked in their pro- fession, establishing a reputation with the break dancers’ personalized dress. But a majority of students chose to dress in the outrageous style of the 80’s. People were now seeing ‘elf’ boots, big dangling earrings, twist-a- ?

Pin-striped jeans and spiked belts became popular, too. Neon col- ors started to make a mark in the fash- ion industry. Clothing shops shedded their dull greys and blacks and replaced them with a kaleido- scope of hot pinks, electric blues, and illuminous greens and yellows. Emma Sheffer explained, ‘“‘They’re neat but they kind of hurt your eyes.” The salons had their hands full with people wanting their hair spiked, pompadoured and cut in rat- tails. Even a few flat top haircuts rose above the busy hallways. ‘It seemed like every body in my mom’s year- book had a buzz.” explained George Charles.

Anything other than parties fell secondary. “I don’t like walking around the mall, but it’s better than staying at home,” explained Tony Taylor. Stu- dents covered the corridors of Spot- sylvania Mall routinely on Friday and Saturday nights. A movie could be seen as an obvious alternative that even had a touch of culture mixed in, depending on the movie. Parents tried to keep under aged juveniles from seeing the inappropriate movie. No one set limits on the age or num- ber of friends over on weekend nights, a student only needed trans- portation. Most parents didn’t even mind as long as the commotion could be kept to a dull roar. Students al- ways had “‘somethin’ to do”, they just had to find it.

Saturdays Days of Rest Filling in the spaces Why did routine noise sound louder on Saturdays? That one glori- ous free day to sleep late. Little brother’s radio blared, the cat jumped on the bed, Mom started vacuuming too early, no one appreciated the fact that you just wanted to catch up on sleep. Although some had to get ready and go to work, most found cartoons a nice way to begin the morning. You didn’t have to think just curl up and stare at the colored shapes moving across the screen. This bliss was sometimes interrupted by pleas from Mom to tackle the weeks accumula- tion in your room. Just when you got everything the way you liked it, it had to be picked up and filed in prepara- tion for another week. Phones rang early on Saturday as plans had to be made for the “‘big night.’’ News of Friday night’s activi- ties passed through neighborhoods while many couldn’t wait to see what would develop on Saturday night. The mall provided a handy meet- ing place, where everyone from local high schools strutted their school col- ors and boasted of the best team in the area. Preparation began for the night time activities, clothes had to be washed for just the right look. Whether you dated, visited with the family, or stayed home Saturday night was always special. It was one night of the week you could take all day to get both mentally and physi- cally ready. Whether you took to the road look- ing for parties or took to the sofa for “Saturday Night Live’’ there was that wonderful feeling of having that day of the week just for you.

Pack Rats Hurrying along, Mark Gardner and David Barth pick up the pace in order to make it to home- room on time. On the Road Have car will travel A call at 7 am. in the morning meant only one thing: “‘Hey, how are you getting to school today?” ‘‘Who’s taking you?” ‘‘Can they take me?” For students it was a bad but common habit to wait ’til the last minute to make travel arrangements. There was one shared viewpoint, they’d do any- thing to avoid riding the bus. Passengers on schoolbuses con- sisted mainly of freshmen and sopho- mores since they hadn’t been blessed with a driver’s license yet. Usually, those that could drive already had packed their cars full; however, there had been those few rare times when the juniors and seniors who usually drove had no choice but to ride the dreaded bus. Most students consid- ered riding the bus a huge embarass- ment and thought it to be totally uncool. They’d do anything to get a ride home with someone. So when the last bell sounded, ending another school day, cries rang out: ‘“‘Got any more room in your car?” “I could sit 2 6 Transportation on someone’s lap or even in the floor- board!”’ ‘“‘How about the trunk, is it empty?” But when the school week ended that didn’t stop the continual search for a ride. Friday and Saturday nights meant going out on the town. Stu- dents needed rides to get to the mall, movies, and parties. Those students who had their own cars had it made. They didn’t have to hunt fora ride but they had to dish out at least twenty dollars or more a week to put gas in the tank. Student cars actually had charac- ter. Whether they sported persona- lized plates or custom stripes or Wheels, each metal carrier was someone’s pride and joy. Even family cars were accepted, so long as it had four wheels and moved. It was better than riding the great yellow bus. by Michelle Barnes No Strings Attached To protect herself from falling on the ice cov- ered ground Valerie DesRoches buckles up her winter snowboots.

For weeks be- fore Christmas instead of decking the halls with holly, groups of students persistently tried to deck their fellow man in the halls. Lockers provided arenas for daily confrontations. Stu- dents would get so excited over the shouting that they would run over friends to get to the action. Jumping up on lockers afforded the best view. As the holiday drew closer shouts of anger turned to shouts of joy as packages were ripped open. Groups of friends now gathered at their lock- ers to tear into gifts. Hugs of joy were Christmas Exchange While Christmas shopping at the mall, Terah Allen and her exchange student Sinna Nielson pause to look at a fashion magazine. shared when tissue paper revealed their favorite stuffed animal or cab- bage patch kid. Students traveled through the halls with bows stuck to their hair and be- lls tied into their shoes. Homework and paper assignments were greeted with “Oh no it’s Christmas,” ““Have a heart.”’ Christmas sounds filled the halls as the band and chorus practiced for their concerts. The smell of chocolate chip cookies permeated the air as ev- eryone appeared to keep a cookie in hand at all times.

Gifts brought pleasant surprises along with some disappointment when Santa forgot to deliver the Trans Am as requested. After the initial excitement had subsided phones began to ring ‘‘What did you get?” “I got an add-a-bead necklace and two new tires.” “Oh Wow!” “I got three new shirts and a can of skoal.”’ The long awaited day had come and gone too quickly. Visions of sugar plums turned to visions of up coming exams and the return to school. Oh that wasn’t too bad at least you could see old friends again and show off the new clothes you re- ceived for Christmas. ll by Jan Galla- her Christmas ) 9 Movin’ to the Beat As the music begins to play Debbie Dodd and Amy Bettis dance to the beat of music at a dance after a basketball game.

There just weren’t enough hours in the day for the girls to get ready for a dance. They spent hours picking out the right dress, and burrowing through piles of junk in closets trying to find shoes, bracelets, and earrings to highlight their outfit. Usually they still weren’t satisfied with the results when they had finished. As the doorbell rang signaling that their dates had arrived 15 minutes early, panic set in as they put in that last curl. Meanwhile, the interroga- tion of the nice young man pro- ceeded: ‘‘Where are you _ eating dinner?” ‘‘What time does the dance Best Foot Forward Popping and bopping at the high school rock begin and end?” ‘“‘What time are you planning on bringing our daughter home?” After a strained greeting, corsages and boutonnieres were pinned, then the traditional pictures had to be snapped.

The Homecoming Dance _high- lighted the year because everyone could dress up and attend. For the freshmen it meant their first “‘big’’ dance and to the veterans it repre- sented a welcome back to another school year.

Some students even shedded their shoes and got down to serious dancing. Dances after the football and bas- ketball games had a different flair compared to the Homecoming Dance. Students used dances as a group hangout to gossip with friends or to meet that good looking guy or girl they’d had their eyes on for a week. Students felt more relaxed in their jeans and sweaters. But careful con- sideration was important for the right appearance. After the last dance lights were flipped on; signaling the end of the evening. Guys deposited their dates on brightly illuminated doorsteps usually just in time to make the curfew.

School Daze “Hey, I’ve gotta sleep sometime!’ — Juan Miyares In first period, heads bobbed and drooped to the lull of the teacher’s lecture. These heads with half-shut dreary eyes soon came to rest on top of a stack of books, victims to a lack of sleep the night before. Whether students stayed up late doing homework, worked at a job or watched the late movie, the results couldn’t be avoided. “I’ve fallen asleep at least once in every class,”’ admitted Allison McCallum. Some students seemed to go on for hours never needing a bit of shut eye. For the less fortunate, high school life became a battle to break the snoozing habit. One could sleep in sixth period as well as in first, de- pending on the curriculum. Of course, dozing off occurred in other places besides the classroom. Stu- dents slept by the lockers, in lun ch and on the bus. Stretched out bodies of those trying to get ‘‘comfy’”’ molded themselves to the cushioned seats in the dimly lit auditorium. These places seemed more likely to have early morning sleepy heads than afternoon nappers. “T can fall asleep a lot easier in the mornings, I guess because I’m not really awake yet.’ explained Lisa Frazier. No matter the time, students knew that the startling tap on their shoul- der meant they had to rise and shine. Ml by Billy Swaggerty Sleeping 3).

Sticky Situations The chewing challenge The pink stringy matter stuck to her new wool skirt, with an exasper- ated cry she screamed, “I just sat in bubble gum.”’ Out of the mouth gum found varied resting places. Chewing gum had reached epidemic propor- tions. ‘‘What we need is an etiquette class on chewing,”’ stated art teacher Miss Janet Payne. When and where ‘‘to chew” knew no limits. Everyday chewing crept in to all classrooms. Songs sounded funny with a mouthful of Bubbli- cious, and the grape scent was a sure give away. While in gym, chewing helped keep you from getting thirsty; how- ever, sudden jolts to the body caused gum to pop out of the mouth or worse swallowed. “If I accidentally drop my gum on the floor I walk away and pretend it wasn’t mine,” said Shawn Scott. Gum that popped out was never claimed or cleaned up. Accumulat- ing on the floor, gum provided speed bumps for shoes or bouncing balls. There was no limit to the amount of gum carried. The 20 pack people were the most popular. Students would congregate by the lockers where the empty wrappers appeared on the floor. Whether it was chewed, chomped, or smacked, gum found its way into the mouth of nearly everyone. ‘If gum chewing did not offend me, | al- lowed it in my classroom, I also did not want to see any bubbles or find it on the desks and chairs. If a student gave an oral presentation with gum in his mouth he received an automatic ‘F’.”’ commented English teacher Mrs. Mary Ann Lewis. @ by Jan Gal- laher Popping Prose While silently reading the story “The Grains of Paradise” in Ms. Bauer’s second period En- glish class, Cathy Craver breaks the monotony by blowing a distracting bubble.

This is my third tardy! Hey teach, you’re not gonna give me SISS are ya?” As the teacher smiled and slowly wrote the late comer up, cer- tain thoughts immediately flashed to mind. ‘‘There go my grades!”’ ‘‘Zeroes in all of my classes for a day!” “‘For being late three times!”’ ‘‘My parents are gonna kill me!” Students didn’t know how much four words could hurt them — Staf- ford In School Suspension. Some stu- dents thought ‘‘How bad could it be, you're out of class all day.’”’ True, stu- dents did miss all their classes but they also paid dearly for it. They re- ceived zeros for the day in each class. SISS teachers considered talking to be a definite no-no. But the worst part of it all had to be when SISS teachers escorted students to the bathrooms during bathroom breaks and waited for them. How embarassing, now stu- dents knew better than to be late to class. Study Hall came close to being just like SISS. However, passes could be obtained to get out of study hall. Those that received passes, usually strolled through hallways and up- stairs to chat in the library. For those unfortunate students left in the audi- torium, bo redom soon set in. Little could be accomplished in the dimly lit area, where talking had been for- bidden. What do most students do when they become bored? They sleep. Study Hall contained a large sum of outstretched bodies taking a doze. However, a few did read books or work on schoolwork. Neither stu- dents in study hall or SISS had many fringe benefits besides being granted the privilege of chewing gum.

The fixins bar allowed students to “‘get it their way.” No Piece of Cake Cafteria-style chaos There were no hostesses to seat you, no tables for two, no waiter to take and deliver your order, not even a wine list or salad bar. Lunch could be best explained as a mad house; a verifiable battle for the bulge where the hungriest got first helpings. Se- niors had privileges in lines despite under class protests. After finally at- taining the lunch and finding a seat, the student asked himself why he’d waited for it. Mrs. Ayers, head of the cafeteria staff, explained, “‘It’s the chronic complaine rs that are never satisfied, even though the county health inspector said our kitchen was in A-1 condition.”’ Often times students didn’t eat and just lounged or chattered at the ta- ble. Several times a french fry flew through the carpeted section, a good weapon for a food fight. These battles seemed short yet sweet for the vic- tors. The jukebox forever blared over these goings-on. It became a major source of controversy among stu- dents. Patricia Meadows stated, “I can’t even understand what’s play- ing!” Despite protests, complaints, and food fights, students found time to munch tothe music.

The new year brought the 45 minutes of homework per class standard. It put even more pressure on those who cringed at thought of opening a book after 2:15. Homework did not have to be done in any one special place. Indi- vidual routines at home ranged from stretching out on the floor watching reruns of M A S H, to lying in bed next to a 4 ft. speaker listening to anything from Prince to Charley Pride. No one could escape! Homework was not done just at home. Students doing homework outnumbered those checking out books in the li-| Added Effort “Homework should be banned!” — Dale Dye brary.

For those who had gotten too involved in ‘‘Dynasty”’ the night before, they could be seen working in front of their lockers be- fore school or on the bus trip to school. After five days of classwork and 6-12 hours of homework a week, no body was in any mood to lug books home over the weekend. Teachers leftthe choice up to you. Would Fri- day and Saturday night be spent at the mall, basketbal l games and mov- ies, or sitting in front of a 500 word essay on choosing a career? It did not seem a difficult decision. That only left Sunday night after 10 or 11 o’clock as soon as Knight Rider ended. Of course some decided not to do it at all. It’s Tuesday night and Kathy Estill calls up George Fenamore. “Help! Did you get that Algebra we had last night? ‘My parents can’t help me because they had that ‘old’ math!” Few knew where this ‘‘new’”’ math came from and why we had to change in the first place.

Homework still counted as a major portion of that letter on the report card. @ by Christy Hyatt Busload of Work The tedious chore of doing homework be- gins early for Richie Mason as he gets a head start on his lessons during his bus ride home.

Goalie Tony Faticoni heads a ball in JV soccer practice. Special Announcement Sports director Jimmy Jones steps in to boost the spirits of students for an upcoming game. Current Events iP Major Changes New plans to get back to basics With the emphasis on homework the new year began. ‘‘Time on Task’’ threatened to fill every minute of school with work. Field trips, assemblies, and getting out of class were cut back; however, with the start of the fall sports schedule came the traditional pep rally. The return of a fall drama produc- tion brought “Diary of Anne Frank’’ to the stage. A performance for the stu- dent body during the day boosted ticket sales and got students out of class. The holiday season meant a Christ- mas assembly. Dividing the student body into two groups meant two per- formances. With the freshman and sophomore classes in the first assembly, the holi- day spirit got out of hand. Students swaying and clapping thus disrupted the performance. Students were sent back to the class with the promise of no more assemblies. December also meant the winter sports pep rally. With a long schedule ahead for the athletes, no one yet knew the team or individual succes- ses to come. The new year brought a new super- intendent to the Stafford school sys- tem. Mr. Andrew Wright retired after 16 years in the county. Known for his building program, Wright came to the county with 7 schools and left with 12. Following Mr. Wright into retire- ment were Carlton Webb, assistant superintendent and Edward Drew, director of finance. From the Galax school system came 39 year old Sidney Faucette to take over a division with over 10,000 students. With great enthusiasm, he tackled the job of reorganizing the administrative staff and writing a “modern” curriculum for county- wide use. Promises of running a “tight ship” fell on hopeful ears as teachers were told ‘‘traditional disci- pline’”’ would be enforced. On January 20 hundreds flocked to the school to honor Mr. Wright. Sun- day afternoon and evening found old friends in education speaking about their experiences with “Andy.” Snow made its usual appearance during the exam schedule causing tests to be rescheduled twice and winter sports games to be made up at the end of the season. The last regular season basketball game with county rival NSHS de- served special attention, since the victory would host the first round of the tournament. At 2:05 on February 15, classes were dismissed as stu- dents flocked to assigned areas of the building to rally. Outdoor activities ushered in the spring season. People turned out in droves for the chance to shed those extra pounds put on during the win- ter: The soccer program gained the most attention because only varsity teams competed. With nearly 50 peo- ple trying out for each team, parents packed the school board meetings to demand a junior varsity program. Against the superintendent’s recom- mendation, the board voted to start the JV program immediately. As the end of the year grew near, seniors faced the reality of no early dismissals for graduation practices. To make matters worse, they were re- quired to take final exams unless they carried a 95 over all average. Exemp- tion was a priviledge which always seemed extravagant and the class of 85 felt the first effect of “‘Time on Task.” Hl by Billy Swaggerty on Culture Gardens Advanced art students examine sculptures on the lawn of the Hirshhorn Museum on a field trip to Washington, D.C.

Yet this was Los Angeles, where the US strived for glory in 16 Olympic days. The gold rush was lead by US stars Carl Lewis and Mary Lou Retton.

The Southland tour moved the US Olympic winners to cities for parades highlighted by a halftime appearance with NFL’s All-American team, the Dallas Cowboys. For the fanatic Redskin fans, Sep- tember meant the beginning of another push for a third Super Bowl appearance in three years.

Churches, organizations, and school groups raised money for the relief efforts. The US sent Senators to Ethiopia to help insure that the food actually got to the needy. Back in Congress the 74 year old President Reagan gave his ‘‘State of the Union” address. Large topics in- cluded cutting the national deficit by cutting spending in all areas except defense. “Star Wars” was the new topic at the Pentagon and the sky was the limit. With the threat of a “‘Star War’’ the Soviet Union decided to come back to the bargaining table on nuclear arms. With a renewed sense of patriot- ism, Americans looked forward to a revolution of greatness as predicted by President Reagan.

Pumpkins and witches took form on the black and orange homecoming float represent- ing the holiday theme. After a week of preparation, the winning nod went to the junior class breaking years of senior dominance. A break in tradition came when seniors were informed thay would not get out of school 10 days early. Exemp- tion from final exams no longer affected seniors unless an “A” average was carried through the course. Jennifer Allen said, ‘‘All through high school I’ve been looking forward to not taking exams my senior year, and now they drop this on us. Why couldn’t they have en- forced this new rule on the upcoming freshmen?”’ In spite of all the changes, seniors still found opportuni- ties to enjoy social gatherings for ‘‘seniors only.’’ With pic- nics, dinner dance, and grad- uation few would remember what they didn’t do their se- nior year.

I like it because you can experi- ence the outdoors. It’s very peaceful out on the river with a few friends just enjoying the day. Especially in the winter with snow on the ground. And everyone who sees you thinks it is crazy for you to be out on the river when it is so cold,’’ commented Steve. Steve canoed mostly on the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers which were very calm compared to the rough waters of the James, Appomatox, and the New River.

Seniors OZ n Friday afternoon a thin figure with glasses sat at his desk, paying close attention to the Physics teacher at the front of the class. This studious being was none other than Glenn Davis, whose care for good grades brought a top 3 ranking in the class. As the sixth pe- riod class came to an end, the modern day ‘Clark Kent’ shut his book and quietly waited for the 2:15 bell to ring. Before it finished sounding, Glenn had shoved his glasses in their case, stepped out the door and headed for the park- ing lot. His unique laughter rose above the moving crowd that questioned him as to where the parties were that particular night. The ‘‘Man of Steel” flew out of the school donning a two-door midnight blue Comet filled with ‘Lois Lanes”’ and ‘Jimmy Olsens.” For Glenn, the weekend had just begun. That night, as in almost every Friday and Saturday night, Glenn made a habit of trying to attend every party in a 50 mile radius. If he wasn’t at a party, he was seeing bands such as Van Halen, Ronny Dio, The Scorpions and Prince. Air banding became one of Glenn’s distinctive talents. ‘He looks like he’s been play- ing real guitar all his life?” stated Andy Pollock.

During out of _ school months, his ‘‘Superman”’ side brought out hobbies like mountain climbing and bas- ketball. He also worked in construction during his spare time. On the ‘Clark Kent’’ side, Glenn attended Boys State. Of the students interviewed, the American Legion selected only seven to attend the mock government for a week. Eric Swisher commented, ‘‘Glenn was nonchalant and casual as usual, but it was obvious he made the most of his week at Boys State.”’ The National Honor Society member even found time to tutor a classmate on week nights when needed. Amy Clotfelter explained his role as student-guidance coun- selor: ‘If you’ve ever had a class with Glenn, you’d know what it’s like to have fun and learn something at the same time.” Sunday night, Glenn shifted into his more serious mood to prepare for school Monday morning. A new week began. Glenn summed it up when he said, ‘‘Five days of my week are devoted to serious school work, looking forward to the weekends helps me get through it.

Seniors 06 Making their Mark For some making good grades just wasn’t enough. ome called them over achievers, other praised them for their hard work. For some it came easily, while others had to labor long hours for their success. “Tenjoy working on my hard- er classes, and I don’t mind spending a lot of time on homework because I need to be prepared for college and hopefully earn scholarships,”’ stated Erin McFall. All of Erin’s hard work paid off when she and Estelle Freidman were selected by the American Legion to attend Girls’ State. For one week dur- ing the summer, Longwood College housed Erin and Es- telle along with 600 girls from all over Virginia. “Girls’ State was a hand-on government experience. We voted for government offi- cials, had a Senate and House of Representatives, and even passed a few bills,” said Erin. “Attending Girls’ State was beneficial,’’ commented Erin, “even though we had to get up at 5:30 A.M. and wear stupid beanies.” For Sharon Christina, Governor’s School meant an opportnity to work with a se- lect group of gifted students from a cross the state. ‘‘We spent most of our time in ciasses learning about current Food for Thought Erin and Sharon eye the peanut butter cookies at the Nuclear Options Semi- nar sponsored by SCENE while Laura samples a brownie.

The routine testing took on new meaning when by virtue of her score, she qualified for a National Merit Scholarship as a semifinalist. “Being a top student in school was important, but when that success carried on to state and national recogni- tion it felt good,” stated Laura Haley.

Seniors 08 America’s Finest Fries During an after-school snack at McDonald’s, Maria Zubiri surprises Markus Werner by stealing a french fry while he attempts to put ketchup on them. Culture Shock It’s an American custom arkus Werner, for- eign exchange stu- dent from Germany, casually put his feet up on a chair in McDonald’s. ‘‘What are you doing with your feet up there?’ inquired Sinne Niel- sen, exchange student from Denmark. “It’s an American Custom!” replied Markus. McDonald’s french fries, Saturday nights, football games, and blue and gold pom pons delighted the foreign ex- change students during their visit to the United States. Our guests found America to be just what they expected; very different and full of friendly people. “When I arrived at the air- port in New York, I asked a lady for a light, and she gave me the whole lighter!” stated Markus. Maria Zubiria, exchange from Spain noted, “people here are very nice and always compliment each other, I like that!”’ They all agreed _ their teachers here in America seemed friendlier, and the classroom atmosphere pro- jected relaxation and dis- persed with formality. Bert Feldmann from Germany described the school work as, “Tt is easier, it’s all memoriz- ing; and too many tests given.” The exchange students en- joyed Friday night football games immensely; especially homecoming. ‘The floats were so pretty!’’ exclaimed Sinne enthusiastically. ““We like the cheerleaders!’’ added Markus and Bert. Some of the American cus- toms impressed the exchange students as being unusual. Bert observed, “‘The first few times someone had _§ said “How’s it going?’ to me, I tried to answer. Now I know it’s just an American way of say- ing hello, and you’re not sup- posed to answer!”’ Although the exchange stu- dents displayed much enthu- siasm for America, this did not dampen their spirits for their own countries. Sinne pointed out an object on the menu as_ she entered McDonald’s. ‘‘See that danish up there?

Mr. Wallace stated, “She manages to put some order to my life in the media center.” Yearbook staff member Billy Swaggerty explained, “I don’t know where, when, or how she comes up with pictures but despite our bickering, Su- zanne always gets it done.”’ She also had a strong inter- est in another type of media. Four years as an art student brought out curiosity and an urge to experiment with new materials. Advanced Art teacher Retta Robbins said, ‘In her senior year she’s really come out and she’s excited about learning new things.”’ With art, photography, yearbook layout and copy, Su- zanne could be called a true media specialist.

African Adventure Five weeks ona Summer safari quipped with _ back- EK packs and a blind sense of adventure, Alan Can- non and his cousin, Jon Carol, took to the African brush. The hot sun beat down on them as they hiked through the dry land. While exploring on their own, the two boys had many interesting experiences. One experience put an unexpected scare into Alan and Jon. It seemed that two African boys were frightened by the Americans’ backpacks and they began to chase them. Needless to say, the two Americans needed no invita- tion to leave. While in Africa Alan stayed in Mbalane with his aunt and uncle. His uncle was a mis- sionary who ran a conference center for training ministers. Alan spent most of his vaca- tion playing soccer with his cousin Jon. The two played on an African soccer team called Amawele. African soccer is played like American, except African teams pick their ref- erees from the crowd. It wasn’t hard for Alan and Jon to communicate with the other players, since most of them spoke some English. Alan commented, “There was a lot more to Africa than wild animals and jungle.” MH by Leigh D’Lugos Juniors 6 QO Checking it Out Junior class president Steve Braun consults the dictionary, as treasurer Valerie Pitzer, secretary Debbie Lu- cas, reporter Maria Spencer, and vice-president Buffy Seskey, help check spelling for the Ring Dance bulletin board. Halftime Anxiety While watching the homecoming game, float representatives Jeff Rowles and Kim Cleveland share a laugh to ease their tension before the halftime show. Little did they know that they would be riding the first place float in the parade. Moving Toward Success On their way to the top s the Homecoming floats made their way around the track, anx- ious students awaited the de- cision on the winning float. A great burst of pride swept through the devoted float workers, when it was an- nounced that the juniors had won. All the memories of backbreaking work were erased from their minds as Juniors 70 they watched their proud president, Steve Braun, re- ceive the coveted award. Said vice president Buffy Seskey, “We knew that the float would be good, because ev- eryone who worked on it really cared about what they were doing.” Spurred on by the support of their sponsor Mary Lou Pit- zer, the class strived to con- tinue their accomplishments. Eager to increase the status of the class, the officers decided to start an annual Ring Dance. Much to their dismay, the dance was not as successful as they hoped that it would be. Although the dance did not live up to the officers’ expec- tations, Steve Braun took an optimistic view toward the project. He commented, “‘The dance was a new tradition, and new traditions take time to build up popularity. Al- though the junior class did not accomplish everything that it wanted to, it made a big step toward success.” Ml by Leigh D’Lugos Chris Kunkle Jerry Kurtz John Latham Wendy Latham Tina Lawhead Martin Leary Mark Lenzi Lori Lewis Erin Lockhart David Logan Clay Lohr Brian Long Gerald Lowe Debra Lucas Debbie MacKenn Ben Marsh Carolyn Martin Timothy Mason Earl Mastin Durwood Matherly Allison McCallum Bill McClellan Lisa McFadden Nora McIntire Brian McWhirt Patricia Meadows Janean Miller Brian Millhorn Rita Mills Kim Moore Lisa Moore Teresa Moore Cathy Morgan Wayne Morgan Sara Munson Wanda Myers Cathy Nazworth Colin Nazworth Teri Neal Kim Nguyen Tina Nichols David Nolan Anne Marie O'Neill Traphiena Outlaw Jennifer Page Tina Pantano James Parker Kate Parn Phil Parr Kristin Pattie Pauline Payette David Payne Dean Payne Melissa Payne Trina Payne Troy Payne Velvet Payne Zack Payne Steve Pelfrey Michael Perez Kim Peyton Valerie Pitzer Brian Pomotto Patrick Porter Charlene Potteiger Jennifer Pounds Carolyn Powell Janice Powers Mike Preston Jennifer Price Mark Puckett Stacy Ramsey Melissa Randall Judy Reagan Eric Redfern Lori Resch Travis Roberson Beth Robertson Kim Robinson Lisa Rodgers Margaret Rooney Juniors 71 Randy Rose Tracey Rose Jeff Rowles Billy Russell James Sampsell Jeanenne Sanders Angie Schad Jerry Schenemann Kim Scott Buffy Seskey Emma Sheffer Lara Shelesk Scott Shen Jennifer Shelton Tracey Shover Marcie Simmons Karen Small Andrea Smith Kirk Smith Kelly Speer Maria Spencer Roger Spencer Troy Spindle Mike Spruill Paul Stewart Maria Stone Cassandra Sullivan Kim Sullivan Kraig Sullivan Natalie Sullivan Tammy Sullivan Vincent Surles Jennifer Swenson Jimmy Swift Deborah Swiggertt Ronnie Taylor Cheyney Thorton Christy Townsend Kelly Turner Patricia Tyler Melonie Underwood Michael Vann Cassey Vickers Michael Vose David Walker David Waters Tammy Weadon Bun Weaver Tara Wheeler Missy Whetzel David White Steve Whitehead Amy Whitty Teresa Wilkerson Cynthia Williams Jennifer Williams Chalee Wing Matt Winn Kerry Woodford Shelley Yonts Jane young Julie Zac Renee Zisman Juniors Duty Calls Moving up the Ladder character and self confidence.

As chairman of Stafford County’s Teenage Republican Club, he had organized the teenage work force of the entire 7th Congressional District. When he first joined the club, he was elected vice-chairman. The following year, he suc- ceeded a senior to become head of the group. Upon this sopho- more was placed the responsi- bility of representing his club at statewide conventions, organiz- ing a ‘phone bank”’ to register new Republicans, and mobiliz- ing his club of 23+ to work the polls on election day and dis- tribute Republican literature. His most important accom- plishment however, was to in- crease membership. A teenage Republican Club was allowed to cast a certain number of votes in the election. The number of votes depended on the size of the club. With the rise in mem- bership, the total number of votes the Stafford club could cast was raised to 5. To those not yet old enough to vote, 5 was better than none. Even after the Presidential elections, the work wasn’t over. After the celebration died down, preparations began for the gubernatorial race in the spring. Why did he do it? ‘‘We work to help the party, of course, and I’m interested in a political fu- ture. Law school, perhaps? “Yes. I want to study law, and then well, I don’t want to sound cocky, but maybe I’ll go for Congress.

The day after Christmas, while the rest of the world enjoyed their vacation, Russell devotedly practiced his trick skiing. Ever since the age of seven, Russell has been skiing. “It’s great competing in tourna- ments, the ski companies give out free skis and tee shirts,” said Russell. He has been competing in tournaments for the last six years. Competing required a great amount of dedication and practice on his part. He skied 5- 6 times a day during the sum- mer and dedicated his holidays to this effort. ‘I still enjoy ski- ing, but I get burned out and need a break from it some- times,” said Russell. Russell’s practice paid off when he finished second in his region in trick skiing, and then went on to grasp fourth in na- tionals. Nationals were held in Louisiana on August 22. ‘“‘There were so many great skiers, | really enjoyed watching them compete,” exclaimed Rus- sell.

Frank is preparing the altar for the 11:00 Mass at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fredericksburg. Delivering the Word Frank Lucia follows his cue to get the mass book from the altar during the morning service at St. Mary’s Church, His duty includes holding the book open while the priest reci- ted the prayers. Family Tradition Shedding the light he procession moved up the aisle of St. Mary’s Catholic Church between the rows of congregation as the organ played in the background. Frank Lucia led the way carry- ing the crucifix. Frank’s father and brother served as altar boys. Duties had changed since his father served. Years ago one learned the entire church service in Latin. The preparations before the church service, or Mass, never changed. Each Sunday’s routine began with lighting the candles before Mass. The ringing of the bells dur- ing Mass introduced the main part of the service. The prayer book had to be held for the priest to read from. Afterwards, he prepared the altar for the next service. As in the past, learning to be an altar boy took a serious and religious commitment. A boy had to enjoy serving at Mass to get up for the 11 o’clock service on Sundays and practice his du- ties flawlessly. Every action had to be timed perfectly. Not react- ing at the exact moment could disrupt the church service. Despite the seriousness of his job, a humorous side existed. “One Sunday my robe didn’t fit properly. My sleeve got caught and the water dish I was carry- ing went flying across the altar during the middle of Mass,” Frank recalled. Frank’s enjoyment of this role continued for over six years. Each Sunday of each year he ended his job by extinguishing the candles after the final amen.

Sophomores 8 1 Stephanie Pleasants Tammy Rawlings Christina Riesenman Katherine Robertson Yvette Rochefort Official Outlook Sideline story IFA was the Federation of International Futball As- sociation. To join this or- ganization of soccer referees, Jeff Colvin and Jeff Jarrett, as 8th graders, spent three hours every day for a week in classes. They were required to pass a 100 question test dealing with the rules and procedures of the game and many physical tests. These tests included a mile and half run under 11 minutes, timed gut runs, 100 yard dash, and field training. After passing these rigorous tests, they began their refereeing responsibilities. Jeff Jarrett refereed in the rec- reational program. Every week there would be games which needed an official. ‘Almost every Saturday I had to wake up and go referee at least four games” stated Jeff Jarrett. Jeff Colvin refereed both recreation and select soccer games. Both Jeffs began refereeing for similar reasons. Jeff Colvin stated ‘‘We wanted to help de- velop soccer in this area, and we felt this was a good way of doing that.” Jeff Jarrett added, ‘I enjoy watching the little kids play, they get so excited!” The only problems that came about were concerning the coaches and parents of the chil- dren playing. ‘‘The coaches didn’t agree with young kids calling their games. They thought we _ were _ inexpe- rienced,’ exclaimed Jeff Colvin. But after throwing two unruly coaches out of games, the coaches respect for them grew. The parents tried to take advan- tage of the fact that they knew the referee personally. As Jeff Jarrett said, ‘Don’t ever call me by my name, call me Mr. Referee.’ Mi by Margaret Rooney Awaiting Instructions Referee Jeff Jarrett instructs Matt Rooney on his responsibilities as a goalie during his game.

People’s clothes showed no sign of Garfield or Snoopy buttons saying “vote for. me.’’ Last spring the entire voting process came and went in home room, decided by a simple check mark by a candidate’s name. Then came October, which meant staying after school to - work on the homecoming float. e The sophomores got rewarded for their efforts by receiving sec- ond place for their Valentine’s Day float. The most surprising new idea of the year proved to be the “Sophomore Sweethearts,” Stafford’s first girl football team in 5 years. Kathy Craver con- jured up the whole idea. ‘We just wanted to show that girls could play football too,” she commented. The ‘“‘Sweet- hearts’’ beat the junior class girls in a 14-12 victory.

To become an Eagle, James worked at the Fairview Bap- tist Church. He labored over the cemetary, cleaning.

Since the age of five, Jeff Rouse had been swimming competitively, and now spent two to three hours a day swimming for the Quantico Devil Dolphins Swim Team in hopes of earning a college scholarship. Through all of this hard work Jeff was able to break the National 11-12 age group rec- ord in 100 yards backstroke in 1982. At the age of 10 he had the best time in the country in ue 100 yard individual med- ey. In 1983 Jeff was Virginia’s Junior Swimmer of the year, and was featured as swimmer of the month in Swimworld magazine in May of 1983. “T feel that spending all of this time swimming is worth while because I am always meeting new people and go- ing places that I would have never been able to go if I wasn’t swimming,’ stated Jeff. “Swimming has helped me to develop mentally as well as physically. I have a positive outlook on every- thing.” “I would like to go to the Senior National Swim Meet in the Spring of 1985. Hopefully if I work hard enough I will make it,’ commented Jeff. @ by Jan Gallaher Patrick Smith Drew Snider Rich Snyder Debbie Sofranko Kerry Spinny Greg Spruill Kurt Steinbach Glyn Stewart Bruce Stover Aimee Street Chip Strong Jenny Stron Scott Strou Angel Sullivan Freshmen Q Angela Sullivan Corey Sullivan David Sullivan Neil Sullivan Quintin Sullivan Scott Sullivan Troy Sullivan Vonda Sullivan Wayne Sullivan Geralene Sykes Bev Szczur Ben Tatum Bonnie Taylor Chester Taylor Tracy Taylor Beth Tester Lynda Theisen Marc Theisen Chris Thomas Nyall Thompson Temple Thompson eed Thompson Phyllis Tolley Joe Tolson Stephen Tolson Marian Toombs Tyler Townsend Kim Trainum Mike Traulsen Melissa Treadway Joe Truslow Mike Tucci Charlie Turner Vicki Ugincius Suzanne Usher Carrie Vance Josi Vanlandingham David Vann Ray Vann Ginger Vimpeny Nichole Votta Heidi Wainionpaa Karla Walker Dawn Wallce David Washington Kathy Washington Kim Way Brian Weaver John Weaver Mark Weeks Chip Wills Teresa Wheeler Joanne White Jaye Willette James Williams Hardane Williams Scott Williams Peter Williams Fielding Wilson Jade Wimberly Adam Wingfield John Winkler Freshmen A Stable Routine An unlikely match five foot tall freshman and a 15 hand 2% inch thoroughbred made an unlikely pair.

Math was no excep- tion. Unusual teaching methods, such as Mr. Bernard Humphrey used, provided incentive to come to class and make an effort. During a fire drill, Mr. Humphrey’s students received bonus points for pulling weeds from the baseline on the softball field. For Homecoming Spirit Week, everyone who dressed up on each day made an extra 100. While studying identities, graphing, and oblique triangles, one class of trig competed against another to see who could make more A’s and fewer F’s on the tests. A careful tally was kept, and the winners were entitled to a free pizza party. Discipline was another area which left room for creativity. Stu- dents in Miss Ann Callahan’s Algebra II class kept their attention on polynomials and logarithms under threat of being ‘‘sent to the Round Table.”’ When questioned by her students as to what the Round Table was, Miss Callahan did not comment. But anyone who misbehaved soon found that the Round Table was located in the planning area. Once sent there, you could not return until the period was over.

Reluctantly, the students obeyed, but as soon as the teacher turned her back, the oversized glasses were dangling around necks. Sometimes, students unknowingly walked out of the class- room with their plastic aprons on. Made aware of this by the 66 laughter of students in the hall, they would slink silently back into the classroom. When Chemistry students did labs, there were often little disasters that accompanied them. A wrong twist of the Bunsen burner, and flames would come bursting out the bottom. _ Many evaporating dishes were broken when students, uncon- scious of the water’s full power, placed a dish underneath it, only to see it shattered into a million pieces. In the Biology lab, students prepared to dissect pigs as the smell of formaldehyde permeated the science halls. While on afield trip to the Chesapeake Bay Institute, Mr. Roger Brown’s Marine Sci- ence class was able to apply what it had learned about water and the creatures in it. Students looked on in disgust as Mr. Brown made his lone descent into the muddy swamp water. Most over- came their fear after a few minutes and joined their brave teacher in catching specimens for the Marine Biology tanks. In the science lab, students also had an experience with water. Karen Berger explained, ‘While we were filling the tanks for some new specimens, people kept knocking the tubing out of them and water sprayed all over everyone.” Along with the science department skills could also be applied by the members of the chess club. Advanced members passed on their knowledge of the game to the less experienced ones. Or- ganized and headed by Physics teacher Mr. Bill Kimman, the club met every Wednesday after school. The members not only came to play the game, but also to trade strategies and techniques. Both the science department and the chess club made students develop skills and apply their knowledge. Whether it was a strat- egy in a chess game, or a lab technique, both groups had to recall what they had learned in the past.

Translations Learning by doing afety pins in hand, Latin teacher Betty Merrill wrapped multi-colored sheets around student after student. As the Homecoming parade began, the chariot riders from the Latin Club mounted their shopping carts to prepare for their journey around the track. Drawn by a team wearing striped togas, the chariots began their wobbly journey. As they gained speed, one of them began to lose it’s parts. First a wheel fell off, and then after a sharp turn, it’s two passengers tumbled out onto the ground. As Julie Bell and Sarah Busch overcame their shock, they made a hasty re-entry into the chariot. In the classroom, Mrs. Merrill provided entertainment for her students as she acted out Cicero’s life. Moans could be heard from the student who was told by Mrs. Merrill, ‘Translate Baby!’ To assure that her Latin I students understood the meaning of the preposition ‘‘sub,”’ Mrs. Merrill crawled under a desk and repeated the word under, over and over again. Something out of the ordinary was always happening in the for- eign lanugage department. In Spanish classrooms, balloons and newspapers covered the floor and paper mache coated everyone else. The pinatas made were carried in the Homecoming parade by students dressed in panchos and sombreros. Every day you walked into Mrs. Patricia Jones’ Spanish class you could expect a five minute wait while Mrs. Jones spoke Spanish fluently to a class of dumbfounded students. Spanish students Steve Jones commented, ‘“‘We can’t understand a word that she is saying so we just shake our heads and pretend like we do.” Spanish III students learned about Spanish history by acting out Aztec sacrifices.

Head to Head Rhonda Crismond and Maury Hylton play a German game of Battleship in Mrs. Linda Cannon’s class. Mrs. Cannon often let her students play this game to get them accustomed to hearing and speaking the German language. Translations French teacher Mrs. Betty Dameron provided a change in the daily routine when she showed her support for the Redskins by dressing in burgundy and gold. French students gladly sang ‘‘Hail to the Redskins,” happy to have a change in the routine. Like Mrs. Jones, German teacher Mrs. Linda Cannon greeted her class in German, and seldom spoke English for the next fifty-five minutes. She also made the German seem easier by letting her students play games in German. Battleship was one of these games, but it was played using German letters and numbers instead of English ones. Mr. Creasy not only conversed with his students, but he also led them in singing traditional German love songs, drinking songs, and marching songs. First and second year German students learned the language from tapes. Said Karen Bland, “‘It’s really embarrass- ing to repeat after a tape. Most people just mouth the words until they see that the teacher is listening.” Dramatic teaching methods helped give a more vivid picture of the culture being studied. Foreign language students found them- selves learning a whole way of life as well as grammar and sentence structure.

I’m up there all by myself with everyone staring while my face turns red,” commented Stephanie Holmes. Near the end of each period the words ‘‘Can we go in yet?”’ echoed through the gym.

But, there always remained that initial temptation to throw a wad of clay across the room and make it stick to the chalkboard. Sketching and painting, as well as working with clay, brought out original interpretations and showed each person’s individual style. When all work had been completed, the pressures rose as it came time for class critics to evaluate each others work.

Sue Ditmore commented, ‘‘The only person in the room besides you was the piano player. The judges stood behind a wall so that you couldn’t see them. The atmosphere in the chorus classroom was a bit more relaxed. Students were allowed to talk between songs as long as they partici- pated when it was time to sing. Whenever things got too rowdy, Mrs. Seay could always be heard saying ‘‘You need dedication and participation.” On the day of the Christmas concert, chorus students could be easily spotted in their black, red, and white ward robe. The chorus, Show Choir, and the Madrigals all joined forces to produce a suc- cessful show. Forrest Clift commented, ‘‘I think that the students have started to realize how much work we put into the concert. We not only have to practice in class but after school too.” Show choir members had to practice dancing and singing as well as providing any props that they needed, like the present boxes used at the concert. The music department added more voices to the chorus with the introduction of chorale. Chorale was a flex time chorus class for those students who didn’t have room in their schedule for the normal chorus class. Said Mrs. Seay, ‘“The students treat it like it is a normal class and I never have any problem with them.” HH by Leigh D’Lugos WAS curricular Tuckered Out During their performance, Sandra Wilkerson and Danielle Browder take time to catch their breath.

Everyone gets a credit if they stay after school for practice every day,” Danielle Browder stated. The rifle squad and ma- jorette rehearsed every day with the band. In both the band and strings classes, all of the participants stud- ied music and worked well in their parades, concerts, or competi- tions.

After all the preparation the production of Diary of Anne Frank was staged on November 15-17. One of the major frustra- tions Miss Clayton noted was tardy or absent cast members for rehearsals. This forced student directors or Miss Clayton to fill in parts. Luckily enough rehearsals were complete to present a box office success of 1200 tickets sold.

The summer workshops provided “‘hands on” assignments for those who attended. If members weren’t in wor kshops, they spent the summer recording students’ favorite summer pastimes. Photographers combed the beaches and malls in search of students sunbathing or blowing their allowance. With the beginning of school, the staff braced itself for the avalanche of work ahead. This year’s book had to top the 1984 edition which received a Silver Crown Award for excellence from Columbia University. Rushing to finish articles and layouts, famished and fatigued staff members worked long and hard hours after school. While most students slept in on holidays, sleepy-eyed members met at school at 8 am. An occassional visit from “‘Mr. Yearbook,” Col. Charles Sav- age, brought a day of inspiration with his words of wisdom along with the humor of his Mickey Mouse ties, watches, and “TI being of empty mind and overused and abused body, do hereby bequeath ...”’ would describe the staff by the time the last yearbook had been given out. This description appeared in the most popular issue of the school newspaper, the senior wills. On the other hand, the letter-to-the-editor box sat collect- ing dust on the corner of the library desk. Even editors wrote letters to the editor to arouse response. In February, with the new idea of a computer dating service, the staff had high hopes of getting a positive reaction. They tempted the students’ curiosity of seeing who would be their perfect match. Finally on ‘“‘stress day”, organized confusion filled the small classroom in the back of the English department as they put on the final touches. ‘‘Please pardon this interruption, homeroom will be extended for the sale of newspapers.”” Approximately ten students had ten minutes to cover every homeroom in the school. .

Students presented their in- formative statistics, facts, and prevention methods in the form of guest speakers, films, and handouts. In the classroom, the students learned useful business tech- niques like job interview, sales technique, and customer rela- | tions. The Fashion Merchandising students not only learned about the producing and marketing of clothing, but that of furniture, automobiles, cosmetics, and jewelry, as well. They received valuable information from a representative from Fashion Insititute about careers and education opportunities. However, most learning was done outside the classroom. Tiffany Edwards stated, ‘‘We’re not required to have a job for the classes, but it has helped me to get out of the classroom and really experience what I have learned.’”’ DECA sponser Mrs. Lois Simms exclaimed, “‘The kids’ managers really teach them a lot, they’re terrific!” Hl by May Devan Marketing Mystique Mrs. Lois Simms answers the questions of Robin Pitts and Angie Jackson during marketing class.

In fact, the only corn familiar to the FFA was the wooden husk symboliz- ing common interest to members nationwide. “The students in my Agriculture classes are exposed to all aspects of producing and marketing products,” stated Mr. Hall. The classes studied everything from welding to forestry to record keeping, and even parliamentary procedure. FFA gave the students an opportunity to compete in con- tests such as dairy cattle judging and speech making. Gordon Silver, leading contender in the dairy cattle judging contest, still smiles when he recalled the team’s victory. ‘I still can’t believe we won this year!”’ Cary Bott walked out to his backyard carrying a baby bottle. “Come here, Baby!” he yelled. Sure enough, a baby came running for her daily feeding! Child abuse? Not exactly, “Baby” was the name of Cary’s pet deer. Mr. Hall required the students to maintain an independent project pertaining to agriculture. Cary raised a motherless fawn. Other projects in- cluded everything from raising rabbits to working on a dairy farm. In early spring, the students could be found at the elemen- tary schools handing out child I.D. Kits to all the youngsters. They provided parents of young children with description cards, useful in the case of a missing child.

The endless expanse of green carpet disappeared, and the smells of chalk turned into smells of gasoline, hair setting lotion, and sawdust. “Wow, what big classrooms, and there are no desks! How did they get that car in here? A beauty shop in school?” While the students upstairs quietly conjugated verbs, and solved math problems, the vocational wing buzzed with ac- tivity. Students curled hair, rebuilt engines, wired lighting, drew maps and built brick walls in classes such as cosmetol- ogy, auto mechanics, electricity, drafting, and masonry. In April, the students put their skills to use, and partici- pated in the annual Vocation Industrial Clubs of America Skill Olympics. This wasn’t the last time they used their newly acquired skills, though. Many planned on pursuing a career in the occupational fields of their classes. The Industrial Co-operative Training students learned trades and had the opportunity to use them, simultaneously. After half a day at school, they left to go to work as auto mechanics, construction workers, painters, carpenters, and brick layers.

Both FHA and HERO lacked officers for the first semester. ‘We had things come up and we just never seemed to get around to having an election.”” Mrs. Pinney Shelton, the Home Economics teacher explained. They elected officers and finally inducted them during the first week of January. “Usually we have our officers by the second or third week of September, but Mrs. Long and Mrs. Shelton have been arranging everything,’’ George Johnson said. The FHA HERO membership rally was held in November. It consisted of members from North Stafford, Gayle, and Drew.

SCENE members collected arti- cles, recorded student opinions on video tape and invited guest speakers to their seminar. ‘‘The seminar was put together to try to educate the group on the pros and cons of nuclear power’, stated organizer Karen Berger. Informed speakers from the area provided various points of view on the topic of nuclear op- tions. Following the seminar, like the splitting of the atom, mem- bers split into different interest groups. Half started their study of Colonial architecture. They studied geneology, their family trees, and listened to speakers on architecture from the historic Fredericksburg area. The group members interviewed elderly people in the community to learn how the county had changed since the 1900’s. The other half of the group began work on Art and Humani- ties. They took a trip to the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the patrons saints day and tour parts of the cathedral usually closed to the public. The group also enjoyed plays and musicals. As Sara Chaves pointed out, ‘‘When an idea came up, we the 1402 members of the architectural group took responsibility of get- ting speakers and planning programs. SCENE accepted our ideas on topics we wished to research and made these ideas into a reality.” In addition to the general programs, SCENE originally spon- | sered Battle of the Brains, Math League, Presidential Classroom and Literary Magazine. ‘‘We are an extension of classroom study. We try to go beyond the every day learning experience, ’ stated sponsor Miss Retta Robbins. While these activities went on, SCENE, Students Committed to Enrichment in New Education, was being changed to in- clude TAG, Talented and Gifted, to insure continuity between the junior and senior high schools programs. This changeover required testing and evaluations by their teachers. Students wishing to join the club had to be self-motivated, nominated by a teacher, or identified in the TAG program in junior high. The overall goal of this transformation was to unify the total county program by means of selection and screening. Then, these selected members were to move out into different areas of interest to them and study these areas on their own. ‘We looked for those interested in achieving, who would become excited by the challenge of learning on their own,” explained Miss Robbins. i by Margaret Rooney Discussing Directions Mrs. Sue Gill instructs Billy Howell on how to contact a speaker for the upcom- ing architecture meeting.

But when the National Honor Society decided to give swimming lessons to re- tarded children at the YMCA, they found themselves with more helpers than students. ‘‘One day we had four helpers and three kids, so two of us shared a kid,” stated Andrea Smith. ‘“‘Another day we had three helpers and no kids, so the three of us shared the pool!’’ The lessons, given twice a week, were designed to help the children feel comfort- able in water and learn basic techniques such as floating and treading water. A similar situation occurred when NHS planned a trip to the Juvenile Detention Center. Club members traveled to the JD Center to play games and talk with the teenagers there. Committee chairman Colleen Kenny commented, “‘We can only take ten people at a time, but we had a lot more sign up. Then, at the last minute, a bunch of people said they couldn't go.” In addition to swimming lessons and visiting the JD Center, NHS visited the 1208 House, a nursing home, and tutored students on weeknights. Since fundraisers had been cut out, major income came from dues and from selling concessions at home basketball games. Whether teaching swimming at the YMCA or voting on teacher of the quarter, NHS members combined brains with compassion.

Concerned high school students formed an organization known as SADD. They hoped to con- vince students to think before getting behind the wheel of a car after drinking. ‘I don’t think students our age should drink in the first place. They aren’t experienced enough at drinking or driving!’’ commented Wendy Waite. For several cold December weeks, SADD members were on the lookout for students and teachers wearing seatbelts. Win- ners received checks as appreciation. The purpose of the whole experiment pointed out the fact that one’s only defense against a drunk driver was wearing a seatbelt. No law stated that it was binding, but a ‘‘contract for life’ between students and parents ensured teenagers would call home if they were ever incapable of driving home from a party. People needed constant visual reminders of the dangers of drinking and driving. Dean Lewis got the message across with his winning bumper sticker in the area’s contest. Trent Douglas received an honor- ary award for his design.

The money put into the jukebox became one of the major sources of revenue for the SCA. Money from the music provided for dance deco- rations and refreshments. The students, the backbone of the school, used the SCA to solve conflicts between the administration and themselves. SAC, the Student Advisory Council, provided the communi- cation with the principal, Mr. Cox. ‘“‘We are the mediators,” stated vice president Andrea Smith. The council helped to solve the conflict involving the band trips. ‘‘Joe came to me and presented the problem,” stated Mr. Cox. ‘‘The subject was discussed with the parents of band members, rules were set down for band trips, and then the band was reinstated.”’ Providing the student body with Homecoming festivities dominated the SCA agenda. They planned the ‘Anything Goes”’ games, spirit week, bonfire, the Homecoming parade and dance. The itinerary to keep the half time festivities run- ning smoothly required a great deal of planning. ‘‘It took al- most all day to decorate for the game and then the dance, but it was worth it after seeing so many people enjoying them- selves,’ exclaimed secretary Christy Townsend. After Homecoming activities slowed down, the only news from the SCA came in the form of morning announcements traditionally read by the president. The officers couldn’t be effective without support from the student body.

To the Beat he curious audience at the basketball game watched as the court was cleared and fifteen girls in the tradi- tional blue and gold garb silently lined up. As the sounds of the Cars’ ‘‘Hello Again” blared over the sound system, they suddenly came to life and smiled their way through a perfectly synchronized dance routine. The approximate three minutes of dance was only the tip of the iceberg for the Pom Pon squad. The long preparation started back in the summer when veteran members Suzanne Farrell, Daphne Melson, and Missie Hodge sweated through the Superstar Drill Team Camp. With new routines in mind, they called the squad together for early off-season practices. However, the squad was no longer allowed to practice at the school because they had no faculty sponsor. “O.K., we’ve got two hours to learn ‘Blue Monday’!”’ called co-captain Suzanne Farrell as the squad gathered on the sun- warmed blacktop at Pratt Park one hot afternoon. “Let’s go over the beginning again! I’ll never get this! Your jump looks funny! It’s too hot!” cried the tired, frustrated girls. Finally, they pulled together and performed the routine with so much enthusiasm and confidence that the joggers, basketball players, and tennis players had to stop and watch. “That was awesome ya’ll!’’ called sophomore Jodi Way. When the days became colder and shorter, the squad could be found practicing late into the afternoon in the deserted school lobby, under the supervision of the new sponsor Miss Lynn Ballard. As the first game of the season quickly ap- proached, learning routines became almost a frenzy. Moments before halftime, the Pom Pon squad could be found behind the bleachers and out of sight of the rowdy crowd, each girl engaged in last minute chaotic rehearsal. As the performance began and the audience started to clap and cheer, the girls relaxed, and their forced smiles became real. Dawn Childress summed it up, ‘‘When I see the audience enjoying themselves, I can’t help enjoying myself!’ Hl by May Devan Reflected Pride Before the halftime performance of “State Farm,’ members of the squad make last minute preparations in the auxilary gym.

Suspense. That was the watchword for the varsity football team. Predicted to finish sixth in the district by area sportswriters, they delighted their fans by win- ning their first game of the season against Spotsylvania. They then went on to defeat rival James Monroe in a highly controversial game in which two Jayem touchdowns were called back. Spurred on by an effigy of a football player hung on _ the school’s tarred flagpole, the team took Principal Sam Cox’s advice to “Get even on the football field,” and did. Expecting another victory, stu- dents, parents, and even county residents who had nothing to do with the high school packed the bleachers during the next home game against Woodbridge. The re- newed enthusiasm for the team was only partly dimished when the game ended in a tie — Stafford had come back strong in the end. “Next time,’’ someone yelled. The new wave of support en- couraged the players as_ they fought through their first three games. ‘‘The team does notice and appreciate it,’ said Head Coach Tom Berry. “Things like an- nouncements in the mornings by the cheerleaders have _ really helped.” The enthusiasm died down a lit- tle as the team’s fortune turned, and they encountered a losing streak. They suffered a string of district losses, with only a tie against James Wood to raise hopes again. All was not lost, however. There was still the most important game to come, the one with arch- rival North Stafford. The team braced itself, rested up, and won! The team won more than the rec- ord showed.

A cry was heard as wood connected with flesh. Suddenly, one player broke away, smoothly sweeping the ball down the field. The goalie fought to defend the box, but too late — the ball shot past into the net.

With Coach Nancy Baughan and Coach Hylton be- hind the wheel, the 16 girls stuffed themselves into the two cars for a forty minute excursion. Upon ar- rival, the girls managed to unfold themselves from the cars and play Woodbridge, losing 3-6. In another loss to Stonewall Jackson, the girls were amazed by Coach Hylton’s response to the outcome. Lurking behind a tree, Coach Hylton awaited the girls. As the girls approached, the coach jumped from behind the tree, and scattered the screaming girls in all directions. The fun and games didn’t appear until after the first weeks of practice.

If you are willing to work, then we can make it to regionals.”’ stated Coach Mike Wondree. With the major goal set the two teams began to practice in early August. Five to twelve miles a day in any kind of weather played a key part of this years training program. “Distance runs. You’ve got to have a good base of miles behind you to be competitive: No one can go out and just run a 16 minute race.”’ Duane Hall stated. “No practice tomorrow.” Coach Ocheltree said one hot Thursday afternoon when practice was through. “But run at least four miles a day over the weekend!” he called as everyone turned to leave. A day off was unheard of. Even if the workout consisted of no run- ning, situps, pushups, and stretching needed to be done. Even though the first meets did not prove hopeful no one gave up. “Why didn’t you tell me about practices like these before we came out?’’ Kip Goldsmith asked after a workout of timed mile laps around the school’s fields. The harder practices tested every- one’s endurance and played on everyone’s nerves. “Two hours on the bus? Hot Dog!”’ Debbie Jacobs exclaimed. The bus rides not only provided transportation, but gave the run- ners time to really get to know each other. A different atmosphere than school let everyone open up more than in classes. All of the team members went out of their way to look out for each other ‘‘When we’re on a bus trip, to or from a meet, and someone is down it will stand out because usually everyone is happy” claimed Jim Clotfelter. No one felt out of place trying to cheer each other up after becoming such good friends. The grueling practices and team spirit resulted in a third place fin- ish in the district meet for the boys and a sixth place for the girls. The boys met the goal set at the start of the season proving that the hard work they put in could pay off. @ by Bethany Hall Cross Country “165 izlz Basketball pO GE: ‘When you're stretching after the bo ys’ teams have practiced, always remember this — ‘you’ve got to look for spit before you sit.’”’ var- sity player Margaret Rooney.

The average observer wouldn’t have known that these teams had a total of three wins between them. The lack of success could be attributed to specific weak- ness: size, experience, and numbers.

Moments later, after roll was taken, and the bus had started, clicks could be heard from all seats, and soon muffled songs drifted through the bus. Since quiet was demanded on the boys’ bus trips, players solved this prob- lem by bringing headsets. “It’s wild sitting in the middle of the bus. Three seats up, Troy and Greg share a headset and listen to acid rock, Angelo sits in the middle and zones out with funk, and Andrew drifts to pop. The mixture of all three is pretty unusual,” explains Chris Rooney. Those not for- tunate enough to have had a headset on the bus, listened to the filtered music and as Duane Wilson said, “‘think about the upcoming game.” On the girls’ bus, a totally different atmosphere prevailed. Two boxes com- peted with each other, while the girls chattered, did homework, or ate. ‘““We could never make it to a game without talking; our whole team would get in trouble,’’ exclaimed Christa Fore. As the school drew near, the players’ concentration on their game increased.

A me- dian season brought the JV players the feeling that, as Jeff Colvin stated, “I think that nobody can beat us when we play up to par.” The freshmen had to work on playing well together, but by about the fourth game, they overcame their rookie jitters and played as a team. Tougher competition from the Northern teams than they had been used to didn’t throw them either. As Mark Repass described it, the best part of their season was ‘ “w hen we gio t Woodbridge.”’ ™ by Karen Bland Out-Stretched Stretching for the top, freshman Neil Drumheller is just able to tip the jump ball over his opponent in the 22-42 loss against pein Park.

Sunglasses are for famous people, and we want to be famous!”’ shouted gym- nastic coach Cathy Lee as she introduced her team at the winter sports’ pep rally. These shady characters did indeed receive well earned recognition. They were rec- ognized in the Washington Post as one of the better teams in the area. Mrs. Lee, Angie and Kim Sullivan appeared in an interview on Channel 20 as ‘‘Team of the Week.” Several days a week, half of the team trekked over to The Barn, a local gymnastic club, to compete and practice pri- vately. The extra experience and practice time gave these individuals an extra com- petitive edge. “Tt’s unfair that the club gymnasts have more oppor- tunity to practice when they belong to two teams simul- taneously,” stated non-club member Brenda Kaila. Karen Small, however attributed the team’s success to its depth. ‘‘Everyone on the team is a good versatile per- former, instead of just one or two members.”’ They proved this to be true when they competed in the Washington and Lee Invitational with all- arounder Kim Sullivan benched with a hand injury. They walked away with first place. Boredom over a four week meetless stretch promoted the team’s invention of ‘Queen of the Mats”’ day and “Queen of the Sweats’”’ day. Senior Betty Walker earned both these titles by perform- ing the highest back tuck and wearing the most original practice outfit. On the intense side of prac- tice, the eight member team was forced to work out harder and more consistantly, due to the fewer number of bodies in the gym. With all dual meets out of the way, the team began to feel pressure to repeat last year’s performance as region- al champs. ‘‘Everyone had their eye on us,” stated assis- tant coach Kathy Moore. They edged by Osbourn Park to defend their Com- monwealth District title. Osbourn Park, however, pushed the team into second place in Regionals.

Now suppose that that individual is you, and that the audience would not be totally satisfied until you completed your performance. Participants in individual team sports all shared this exhilarating but frightening experience every time they competed. Gymnasts stepped up to the beam to be closely scrutinized by four judges, the cu- rious audience, the demanding coach, and encouraging teammates. Wrestlers walked out to the center of the empty mat to shouts from teammates and ominous looks from an opponent. Athletes of these individual sports felt inclined to put 100% effort into each per- formance. ‘‘When I fall off the beam, I’ve got no one to blame but myself, unless | blame the beam!” exclaimed senior Betty Walker. Wrestler Steve Druitt added, ‘In other sports like football, I can depend on others to make up for my mistakes; but in wres- tling, I’m totally on my own.” Although the gymnasts and wrestlers constantly strived for individual goals and victories, desire for total team excellence took on top priority. ““We’re never out to beat each other in a meet, we’re usually trying to set new team records,’’ com- mented gymnast Tracy Shuler. Heavyweight wrestler Bill Clark always wrestled the last match of the meet during a pitch of excitement. ‘‘The pressure is really put heavily on me to make or break the meet,’ commented Bill, ‘‘In the Christ- mas Tournament, Coach Micks said I had to pin my opponent for us to win — and | did!” Gymnasts and wrestlers could always count on the mental support from team- mates. Gymnasts mentally pushed a wob- bly fellow athlete back into a steady posi- tion on the beam. Wrestlers felt the strain as they watched a teammate struggle to avoid a pin. They all felt the pride in victo- ry and the agony of defeat together; on and off the mats. ™ by May Devan Head Over Heels Earl Coffey forces his opponent from Garfield to take a tumble over his shoulder.

Personal Pressures Donnell Watson mentally prepares himself for his upcoming match against James Wood while he awaits the announcement of the 105 weight class. When Nick Nichols picked up a hitchiker on the highway entering Stafford County, he never dreamed that he would meet Colin Millar, the master and market- er of the zakanaka bear, a wool teddy. Mr. Millar was so grateful for the ride that he sent Nick a zakamaka bear. Nick, the team’s weight train- er, decided to give the bear to the wrestling team as a mas- cot. Zakanaka, which means ‘first class’ in Sho na, a south- ern African language, was accepted eagerly by the wrestlers, who quickly re- named him Zeke McGiouff. ‘“‘He gave our team indi- viduality in the district,’’ stated Steve Druiett. ‘‘We don’t need raw meat, we have Zeke!” Zeke’s luck brought this team of competitors to the attention of their opponents.

Commenting on his team’s ability, Coach Bill Micks stated, ‘“‘They had the hustle and determination needed to produce a high quality team.’”’ Whether running in the halls or practicing new moves, the squad displayed undying grit in becoming the best they possibly could. Coaching excellence was also needed by a team on the rise. The wrestling squad felt they had just that. Long hours of training, weightlifting, practicing, and scrimmages were all preplanned and overseen by the coaches. As Juan Miyares stated, ‘‘They gave so much of their own time up to be with us and help us; they really cared about each one of us as an individual.”’ Rooney Wrestling al 7 @ by Margaret q Sporte— Moadgg Girls’ Softball.

Hard work, dedica- tion, and a real love for chlorine-filled water described almost every member of the Sting Ray’s swim team.

What was more suspenseful than sitting next to a radio to hear if you had to go to school and take that Spanish test you didn’t study for? After hearing the announcement on the af 8 8 Magazine radio, the students and teachers were faced with a full unplanned day. ‘“‘The only thing bad about a snow day is that you really are snowed in — you can’t go anywhere unless you have a four wheel drive.’’ Said Johnny Wilcox. ‘‘If I hear a weather report saying snow flurries, I stash my books under my bed and pray.’’ explained Billy Howell. The snow itself was entertain- ment. Sledding and snowman building was not a lost art. “‘I still put on all my snow clothes and go roll in the snow,” exclaimed Jen- nifer Shelton. ‘For a long time I thought we would have no snow days — we had had such a warm winter — but that day before Erika Byrd exams was great!

Fans of the game tended to defend the outlandish ques- tions as educational. “The things they ask are unreal, but you learn something every time you play,’’ commented Sallie Herron. The popular board game combined strategy of board move- ment, knowledge of current events, and his- torical moments. ‘Sometimes I think that nobody could respond to half the questions, but I enjoy it anyway!” said Greg Maynard. The cards contained ques- tions about everything from sports to entertain- ment to science. Game participants gathered in groups with friends at a party or just a couple of people at Robert Wallace home. “I hate to play with my mother,”’ said Sharon Christina, ‘‘she makes me feel kind of dumb, especially in the entertainment catego- Led ry.

REPORT Erika Byrd After the 1st quarter of the boys var- sity game against Garfield, Mr. Jones accepts a winning program from spectator Mrs. Mary Lou Pitzer. CARD Wright Retires After 17 Years “In the Business by Erika Byrd ‘“‘My career has been school-business. It’s often frustrating but I will be sad to leave it.”’ Andrew Wright had been superintendant of the Stafford County schools for 17 years. Af- ter over 35 years in the ‘“‘business’’, Wright’s career was coming to a stop. Wright had held posi- tions in the school sys- tem as a history teacher, baseball coach, school principal, and his posi- tion as superintendant of schools. “The building of SHS was my biggest thrill. It became my first love. It was such a feeling of accomplishment to see the finished product.” Another accomplish- ment of the public schools in 17 years has been the special educa- tion program. It began with a one room class with a privately paid teacher. Today Stafford County has what many people believe to be the best program in sur- rounding counties. ‘When people tell me that they moved to Staf- ford because they heard that the schools were good, it makes me feel great.” Besides adding pro- grams to the school sys- tem, Andrew Wright felt that the student of today is ‘‘more- informed, more- worldly, more- exposed”, than the stu- dents 20 years ago as a result of the great adv- ances made in the areas of communication and technology. Social hur- dles have been over- come; ‘‘My first year as superintendant was the year they introduced co-ed gym classes.”’ Andrew Wright’s ad- ministration has weath- ered political and socially affected educa- tional trends. Wright felt that the new man- date ‘‘time on task”’ was “too extreme’’. Wright also felt that ‘‘time on task’’ was issued as an overcompensation for the situation that had developed and that the schools ‘‘needed to reach a miqd@ate ground”’. Wright looked for- ward to his retirement with happiness and sor- row. He said he would not lose contact with the teachers and stu- dents of Stafford Coun- ty. To the 600 teachers and faculty, Andrew said, ‘‘you’ve commit- ted a crime if you ha- ven’t done your best in public schools. We’ve come a long way, but we've a long way to go.” We Have to Take Everything We C a n G at eC “We are here to:make good Americans not All-Americans,’’ quoted athletic director Jimmy Jones. ‘‘My greatest accomplish- ment has been the amount of participation we have in our sports program from both the athletes and their par- ents.” Mr. Jones has been athletic director for over 16 years. Today he holds the office of NIAA president. For seven years Mr. Jones had attended the National Federal Convention of High School Directors. The December conven- tion was held for a week in Milwaukee Wiscon- sin. Mr. Jones partici- pated in workshops pertaining to all aspects of being an athletic di- rector. ‘‘One of our best speakers was Al McGuire.’’ said Mr. Jones. As far as distribution of funds were con- cerned Jimmy Jones ex- plained that there were very few disputes. “Everyone works well together — no one makes unecessary de- mands on me. Everyone realizes that our entire sports budget is com- posed of what money we take in at the gate.”’ In his spare time Mr. Jones officiated at high school basketball games in the Richmond area and umpired baseball games in the communi- ty. “I must love it — I certainly don’t do it for the money. It is a way of putting something back into the game and in re- turn for all the enjoy- ment I got out of it.” Helping Hands by Judy Reagan “Volunteers needed. All NHS members con- tact a sponsor to get de- tails.’’” NHS members learned that volunteer work played an impor- tant role in the group ’s activities. ‘“You do the work for points,” said Tracey Jett,” a point per activity, and you need three each semester.”’ Working within the school gave point- earners a chance to Traveling Songs by Judy Reagan “Okay, people, I want you here and ready to practice at seven, sharp!” Practices and con- certs were squeezed in between dates, home- work, and weekend jobs, but members of the GCC and Maranatha choirs have their best at each performance. Maranatha Touring Choir, hosted by High- way Assembly of God, received members from around the community. Participants found that getting in was not as easy as it sounded. Au- ditions were held each year for those interested in joining the choir. The business-minded choir raised money for sum- mer tours by picking strawberries and cater- ing dinners in the area. Contemporary Chris- tian music combined with classical religious songs filled each pro- gram in the repertoire of the Maranatha choir. However, the GCC found that they sang no- thing but the upbeat tunes that were classi- fied as Christian Con- temporary. “It uses the sounds of rock that teens can relate to,’’ com- mented Tina Pucillo.

Once caught inside the chain linked fence by the passing yellow Caravan, students moved for the best posi- tions for quick exiting. For the ones that stayed behind, small groups formed to talk about the events of the day. Others chased around the lot on foot or jumped on moving cars.

Closing “7205 Making the Grade | 2062 Zack’s Pack Members of the football team and spirited friends dressed in Bermuda shorts and beach shirts to cheer on the boys’ basketball team against the North A quarter had been fished out from the dark depths of a pocket. As the quarter registered, the selections were made. The first song to come on turned out to be one of the smash hits by Prince and the Revolution. Finding time to listen to music, watch TV, and hold down a part-time job became increasingly difficult with the new ‘“‘Time on Task” mandate. “‘I know I have at least as twice as much homework, and keeping my part-time job is really hard,” said Greg Vayda. Students weren’t the only ones who felt the pressure of the extra work cre- ated by the new policy. Teachers, re- quired to give more homework than in years past, found they had to grade the extra homework that they assigned. Stafford Wolverines. The Indians won 77-62 with the help of Leif Gyllenhoff and Tommy Grimes.

Making a Decision Robin Pitts and Angie Jackson review a lesson in finances during their LCT. class. Closing 7207 Making it work As the work piled up, memorization to pass a test was substituted for real learn- ing. Foreign exchange stu- dents found the method much easier because re- membering material for a test took much less of an effort than actually retaining knowledge. Quantity began to edge out quality in the race for importance. What good did “‘Time on Task’? do? “‘My grades are worse this year than they have been, ever!’’ stated Kim Robinson. ‘‘I have homework in every class, every night. It just doesn’t balance out,’ he added. “‘I think it would have worked out better if the poli- cy had been introduced grad- ually,’’ mused Mrs. Judy Norton. Even though the workload increased with the ‘““Time on Task’’ mandate, students found that the extra work only intensified the play. “The harder I work, the hard- er I play, to make up for it!”’ said Dee Matherly. @ Making the Grade After defeating the Wol- verines of North Stafford, Johnny Wilcox and Kevin Allard rejoice in the glory of a first ever win against the county arch rival. 208m Making the Grade . : Evils 27920 CELE E
