A six period day was now in the past and re- placed by seven classes. Lockers were scattered everywhere making it more difficult to follow the new tardy policy. Cutting class was next to im- possible due to teachers hovering in every hallway asking the dreaded question, “May I see your pass?” students had to find time to fit fun into their busy schedules. An added class usu- ally meant more P.E. Pep Talk Mr. Dave Farmer gives instructions for the day’s activities to his sixth period gym class.

Opening ashe bd ¥ = Opening Flying Colors Raising and lowering the flag at the beginning and end of each day was a duty assumed by members of the Key Club. In addition, members assisted with the blood drives and performed various other service projects. homework, and students who worked found very little of their day left to relax. Weekends were eagerly awaited. No matter how much the school atmosphere had changed, some things always stayed the same, and weekends were still a time to — play. “I don’t like to think about rad- ical changes. They upset me,” said senior Scott Smith. But the changes were there, and they had to be dealt with. Rachel Knudsen Sidewalk Talk New administrator, Mr. Roberts, chats with a student after school. Trying to keep principal-student communications open was a goal for the school year. © Student Life Divider A Secal Deal Life beyond school? Absolutely, and it was this thought that kept students going through the long day as they eagerly awaited the sound of the final bell. As 2:15 drew near, anxious glances were thrown at the clock, books were carelessly tossed into lockers, and hurried conversations about the evening’s activities floated through the air. Weekends brought with them promise of new social op- portunities. Sports events, dances, and parties gave students a chance to relax and recuperate from a taxing week of hard work and respon- sibilites. The 2:15 bell) was aysionmto students, a sign of the academics ending and the pursuing of their second life...their social life.

Student Life Divider Burger Boy Benji Tatum assists the administration at the senior picnic by taking over the cooking duties. Food, fun, and friends were the main attractions of the annual picnic at Curtis park. Ultimate Frisbee The senior picnic was definitely a time for rest and relaxation but action could be found everywhere. Students joined in games of frisbee with friends and the pool offered a cool alternative to the typical frisbee field. © Senior Activities Only seconds left, just a few more seconds and then... you're next! Your throat is dry, your stomach turns over and your hands shake. And then its your turn as you shuffle your nervous feet across the floor, all those eyes on you and only you and...you take your diploma in trembling hands with a sigh of relief! You made it and it wasn’t that bad after all. And now what? As Jeff Tebbe commented with a smile,“The best part of gradu- ation was the parties and the beach afterward!” But for the alll Picnic Perusal Observing the events of the picnic around them, Mrs. Cash and Mrs. Dangerfield relax in the shade and enjoy the afternoon. The senior picnic was a time not only for students to take a break, but for teachers also. graduating seniors, the fun didn’t begin with that oh-so- important night in June, the fun had been going on for a while with all the excitement of Prom, Googa Mooga, and the Senior Picnic. Senior Mike Smith observed, “The last few months were incredible but I hardly had time to take a breath before I was up and on to the next thing!” And time was of the essence for these seniors-finding a prom dress in time, getting Googa Mooga acts together in time, and tak- ing time out to enjoy good friends, good food, and plenty of sun at the senior picnic at Senior Activities Laugh It Up Smiling faces weren't too hard to find among these seniors at the senior picnic. Susan Dillard shows just how happy she is as she laughs with enthusiasm. Curtis Park. Kim Brooke relat- ed,“ It was really neat to see the teachers cooking for us and serving us for a change. I en- joyed that a lot!” But along with this fun and freedom came the knowledge of what lay in the future. Grad- uate Vicki Robinson said,”“Sure I was happy to graduate and start a new part of my life, but I was so nervous about what would happen once I stared out on my own.

Practice after practice left seniors exhausted and tired of lines and formations and for- malities. Said Chris Holmes, “Tt just went on and on and my only thoughts were of how good it was going to feel when the real thing happened;and that thought kept me going.” And the real thing did happen, but with an unusual flair that hadn’t existed in previous years. Senior sponsor Mrs. Cash explained, “Because of the success of the fund raisers and especially Googa Mooga, we were able to give each girlin the graduating class a long stemmed red rose. It was something special and I| think it went over well.” Senior activities, festivities, and graduation itself had been long awaited and was ac- complished with a mad rush of energy anda long sigh of relief. Pressures let up and relaxation was the main priority for these worn out but proud graduates. Wendi Spangler Graduate Grins Brothers John and Joe McAlister stand side by side proudly celebrating their recent graduation. Post graduation festivities included greeting family and friends, admiring diplomas, and rushing off to get and early start on summer fun.

Senior Activities eat Wave It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and now it was about to be the end of times- the times tables, that is, and fractions and sines and cosines as you scribble down answers to the last two prob- lems on your final math exam and anxiously glance at the clock. The seconds fly by ever so slowly and the minute hand inches around to its final des- tination. Then... RRRiiiing!!

Boogie Blues Taking a break from the waves, Chris Miller enjoys the beach at the North Shore. Part of his summer was spent touring Hawaii with his family. Summer most treasured words to ever escape a high school student’s mouth on the last day of school. There was so much to look forward to with the start of summer and the end of edu- cational responsibilites...at least for a little while. Sand, sun, jobs, camps, vacations, fun and relaxation- no matter what you had planned, it was a time to take a break and live to the fullest. “I wasn’t real sure what a vacation at a lake would be like,” said senior Carey Dog- gett. For the fourth of July, Carey took a ten day trip to Smith Mountain Lake with some friends. She continues, “I never realized how much fun you could have at a lake.

Kris worked at a day care center. “I loved working with the kids. I got to teach the two, three, and four year olds how to swim. They were so adorable, I couldn’t help but get attached to all of them,” said Kris. Although school was out for the summer, athletes still pre- pared for the upcoming year. The field hockey team attend- ed a training camp at James Madison University for a week in July. In the stifling heat from the mid-summer sun, the girls had to do drills and play scrimmages. “It was so hot! But it was all worth it. We made a lot of friends and we were al- ways having water balloon fights,” said senior, Stacey Pomykala. Stacey had no doubt that she would do it all over again. “It really brought the team together and got us all fired up,” Stacey added. Whether summer meant learning new skills, perfecting old ones, meeting new people or just relaxing and resting up for the next school year, everyone enjoyed it in their own way and made the best of this precious and fleeting time.

Homeroom was different with getting new locker numbers. But the foyous feeling of seeing old friens blocked out any hard feeling towards school. “I was glad to be back, sort of, because summer was getting boring,” stated Opal Tomalewski, a senior. Summer ended with some good memories and bad mem- ories for most people. But now school was back in session and it would soon have bad and good memories in itself. “I was hoping summer wouldn’t end because school was. creeping up on me so fast,” said Gene Whitman, a freshman. But the first day finally ended and when it did many sighs were released from tired mouths that were finally glad to go home again. Carolyn Jones Gathering Groups Many friends clumped together in the hallway to catch up on the past summer activities. The hallway served as a convenient gossip center between classes. Back to School Beauty Sleep With it’s depiction of Sleeping Beauty, the Freshman class float passes in front of the stands during the Homecoming parade. Weeks of work and preparations by dedicated class members went into the construction of the floats. Wicked Teacher English teacher, Miss Montgomery, dresses as a witch for costume day. Faculty and students enjoyed dressing up for this part of spirit week. Local Spirit Searching through her art drawer, Marie Brown wears a local college sweatshirt. College day gave students a chance to show their spirit for two schools. | Spirit Week A Watch Out Debbie Flippo’s Pipi Longstocking braids were a subject of much conversation on costume day. Intricat costumes such as hers took time and preparation. Why does everyone look so casual? Spirit week was kicked of on Monday with Sweats day. Everyone wanted to show their spirit by wearing their most comfortable sweatsuit. On twins day best friends looked more like bookends than ever as they dressed alike. College day gave everyone a chance to show where they wanted to continue their edu- cation. Creativity shone through when students dressed up for costume day on Thursday; students and faculty came as everything from babies to witchdoctors. “Spirit pirit Reigns week was the kickoff to the climax of homecoming,” said senior Carrie Ingalls. After school everyday the sounds of construction could be heard throughout the voca- tional labs as students hurried to finish their floats on time. Spirit week climaxed with the bonfire Thursday night and the football game on Friday. “Spirit week gave students a chance to show their support forour school, and especially the football team,” said Sophmore Lisa Kelminski. Kate Erskine Gender Bender Chris McCullogh and Duane Seay barely recognnize each other in their costumes. Chris was a girl and Duanea headhunter for costume day. Tottering Twins Alan Elliot “broke” his leg to match Kevin Watson’s for twins day. Alan’s ankle, however, was only in a cast for this day! Spirit Week Toga Party A member of the Latin float, Carrie Ingalls, dressed in traditional Roman garb, throws a quick smile to the stands. Costumes for the parade required much preparation on student's parts. Homecomin Q icture Perfect A tense glance to the left and then the right revealed that everything was in order. Hoardes of people were breathless with anticipation. Cameras flashed from all sides in an attempt to capture the tension of the moment. And then the ball was snapped and the first play of the long await- ed Homecoming game was under way. While crowds of students and parents cheered in the stands, none quite un- derstood the importance of the game they were witnessing. “There was more pressure on us as a team to win this game than any other we played all Royal Ride Allison Marks and Mark Walker are chauffeured around the track while waiting to be escorted onto the Homecoming Court. Classic convertibles were used to transport the court members in the half-time parade. year,” said senior Warren Uecker. “It didn’t really affect us though. Once you get out there and see all those people and hear all those cheers, it feels like any other game and you forget about the pressure you were under all week,” Warren continued. While the team rested be- tween halfs, the Homecoming parade and festivities began. Float after float passed in front of the stands each depicting a classic movie in a truely special fashion; “Sleeping Beauty,” “Gone With the Wind,” and “The Three Amigas” joined the list of floats seen. A decision was made and the Junior class Tea Party Members of the junior class march around the field during their portrayl of Alice in Wonderland. The float took first place in class competition. It’s bright use of color and animation singled it out from all the rest. Moment of Glory Sharon Baggett and Alan Elliot face the crowd after being crowned king and queen of Homecoming. This tradition was part of the half-time festivities. PON De al Floating Along The classic movies theme of Homecoming gave students a chance to live out the roles of their favorite heros and heroines. Homecoming Court Couple Duane Seay and Lori Stamey anxiously await the moment when the King and Queen of Homecoming will be announced. They were two of the representatives chosen by the sophmore class. Homecoming Twist and Shout Judith Moore and Brian Moriarty rock to the beat at the Homecoming dance. Hours of preparation was required for one of the most important dances of the year. Magical Moment Representing the senior class, Angie Parker helps Kevin Watson hobble onto the field. Kevin was unable to play in the Homecoming game due to an injury he received in a previous football game. Go Big Blue Shouting through the megaphone, Amy Elliot gets the crowd fired up. Spirit and anticipation aroused the crowd during the Homecoming game against Stonewall Jackson. Photo by John Whitehead took first place with its depic- tion of “Alice in Wonderland”. Then, to complete the half- time activities, the King and Queen of Homecoming were crowned, Alan Elliot and Sharon Baggett. As the game concluded, it was obvious that pressure hadn’t kept our team from top- ping Stonewall Jackson 13-7 and playing an excellent game. Said senior Todd Harold,“I would have been dissappoin- ted if we hadn’t won. Home- coming’s a tradition and to win is just necessary!” Tired students then ventured home to rest and relax for the next im- portant event of the weekend, the Homecoming dance. Saturday dawned a brightly promising day as couples made final preparations for the big evening. Flowers were picked up, last minute ac- cesories were bought, and dinner reservations were con- firmed. Now all that was left to do was sit and await the ring of the doorbell and the beginning of the evening. And finally the evening did begin but with the typical nerves and worries that naturally accompanies such an important event. “I wasn’t really nervous, things just felt kind of stiff, and it probably didn’t help that this was the icture Perfect first time I had been out with my date. Neither of us knew exactly what to expect,” said sophmore Brian Rodrigue. Despite worries and pres- sures, the evening fell into place nicely. Dinners were eaten slowly and conversation was savored. The dance was a time to see and be seen as dresses were admired, casual conversation was made, and plans after the dance were con- firmed. Tired couples departed as twelve rolled around and Homecoming then became just a memory. A picture perfect weekend came to a close. Homecoming Opposites Attract Contrasting fashions are evident as Ryan Main and Raymond Cockrell enter school together. A J.V. football game : required Ryan to don an unusually Fashion formal attire while Raymond dressed comfortably in sweats. C8 ee ee Bus Stop Blues No matter what trends come and go, some fashions like jeans and sweatshirts never go out of style. While waiting for the bus, Lisa Becker and Brett Haas show their more casual side. With the sound of the bell, I grab my books and rush out of my classroom; sleeping students straggle out behind me. The hallways are crowded and it isn’t easy to find a way through the student traffic. A atters Ties song of voices lies over the slow but hectic morning movements; slamming locker doors give a certain rythmic beat. As I scurry towards my next class, I casually wonder how long it takes my classmates to dress. Those who wear jeans, T-shirts, colorful tie-dyes, rugbys, sweaters, Reeboks, and tennis shoes probably had a hard time getting out of bed. Those wearing more fashion- able clothes such as bright Scottish patterned cottons, big scarves around their waists and shoulders, and designer fashion perhaps never pushed the snooze button to catch those few extra moments of precious sleep. Students are trying to manipulate teachers’ impression of intelligence with big brown-framed glasses; and in some cases I imagine parent’s blood pressure going up when All Ripped Up Despite the school dress code, Eddie Britt was able to wear torn jeans. He got around the administration’s policy by wearing biker shorts in addition. ragged jeans and shirts ap- peared. But students don’t worry, they seem happy. Trying to be individual, those are the magic words. “I just wear what I like” commented junior, Kelly Webster, and the majority of students agreed. Musical interests were often seen on T-shirts. Guns-N-Roses appeared suddenly and spread out in a couple weeks. Senior Daniel Smith owns eight dif- ferent T-shirts of “the hottest band in the land” - Kiss. “So | can change every day,” Dan grinned. The big cruel spider which dresses his jeans jacket was the result of just a good mood. Student fashion shone through with brilliant bursts of creativity. Iris Sitta Fashion in Art Heather Amidon demonstrates her fashion individualism with a sharp contrast of black and red. Fashion Early Decision Two sophmores, concerned about their future plans, get a jump start on college shopping using the computer programs supplied by the guidance department. Guidance offered many different approaches to college planning and the computers were a great alternative. Colleges pward Bound The new school year started off with many new changes. Though there were some- things that never change with time. One of these was for se- niors and juniors who are col- lege bound, deciding on their career, and what college can offer them many choices. As Senior Anita Browder stated, “I want to go to a small college, I do not want to be lost in a crowd.” This was a con- sideration of many college bound students. Anita Brow- der was just one of those students. She wants to attend a small college and by doing this she can set her major in creat- ive writing without the waiting process of many large colleges. There were many colleges represented this year by students wearing sweatshirts and T-shirts. Some of these were Va. Tech, Radford, and James Madison, along with Carson-Newman. Senior Amy Abernathy said, “Carson- Thinking Ahead The guidance department offers many college resources for students to examine when trying to determine what college is best for them. Ricky Hyde takes advantage of these resources by examining pamphlets on his possible college choices. Newman is where I am apply- ing. I want to major in Fashion Merchandising, so I can be- come an Interior Decorator.” Whatever your career choice may be, there are definitely a lot of schools to choose from. When asking another senior, Kelly Mullen, what college she was applying to, she said, “I am applying to Radford to work on my major in Marine Oceanography, so I can do re- search for a big oil business and make a lot of money at the job.” However, seniors were not the only class concerned about college; the junior class had the same pressures of deciding on their futures for education. A junior, Judith Moore said, “I am thinking about going to Florida State, so that I can do something with business.” A main concern of many graduating seniors was mak- ing it “BIG” and to do so a col- lege education seemed to be the solution. Damara Henderson weet Personal Typing Scott Smith, typing his application for William and Mary, concentrates on neatness and accuracy. Typed applications were preferred by college admission boards and proved to be impressive in the long run. School Spirit Kevin Watson shows spirit by wearing a North Carolina sweatshirt on college day for spirit week. Many students expressed their hopes for the future on clothing. High Hopes Mr. Richard Byrne clarifies a Physics problem to Doug Wilson. Doug’s college choice was displayed on his sweatshirt. Colleges Up and Rollin’ Rolling the canvas, Ellen Shelton prepares to load the back of her jeep with luggage. The empty space was helpful for her trip to U.Va. Cars teering Clear A blackened strip of asphalt gradually fills with cars until 7:45 when everyone is to be ac- counted for in homeroom; this is the first sight of the day for student drivers and their pas- sengers. The range of vehicles found in the school parking lot ex- pressed true individualism. “Whether it was a raving beauty or highly unbecoming, the car was its owners pride and joy,” stated Ronnie McCord, a senior. “Many cars and trucks were customized to fit their owner’s needs, but more often their wants,” felt Mark Chambers. Most students agreed, cars were judged on outward appearance, radio loudness, swiftness and engine size. Trucks, on the other hand, were judged by durability, height of the lift, tire size, ac- cessories, and trademark. Many drivers were destined to specialize their vehicles in one way or another; others just hoped they would get where they were going. Cars and trucks were used for a variety of reasons. Getting to and from school and work, and socializ- ing on the weekends were the most popular. While everyone loved the feeling of freedom when driv- ing a car, there were draw- backs. Take the afternoon rush to get out of the parking lot. “All that can be heard are horns blowing, people yelling, loud music, and tires squeal- ing; everyone’s in a hurry to get out of there,” stated Lisa Raines, a senior, who speaks from experience. Once again the parking lot is left barren and peaceful in order to prepare itself for yet another day.

IU) Weekends teppin’ What are you doing this weekend? was a question often heard by students as they ex- citedly exited the doors at 2:15 on Friday afternoons. No one wanted to miss out on any fun. A variety of different activities went on each weekend. Friday nights usually con- sisted of a football or basketball game and then a school dance or a party. There were no par- ticular “hangouts,” but the mall and McDonald’s were usually included in the night- time search of a party or just other friends. Many students worked on the weekends at the mall, restaurants, clothing or food stores. They worked to earn money to pay for their cars or just simply to make money. Students enjoyed sleeping late on Saturday mornings, re- cuperating from the long Working For a Living Wendi Spangler works hard at Foxmoor to earn money. Many students worked at the mall or fast food places on the weekend. Out school week. “I like to wake up around eleven and watch car- toons,” said junior Shawn Payne. Saturdays were spent doing anything from watching T.V., working, or making plans for Saturday night. “I usually hibernate with my friends and just have a good time talking and laughing,” said junior Cori Faticoni. The night was left for movies, parties, or driving around. Dating was another option for students. Most couples chose to go to movies or out to eat. “It’s nice to have someone around that I can count on to be there,” said junior Marcey Hendrickson. Sundays were designated for sleeping, relaxing, and pre- paring for another week. Leeann Hansen War Games Eric DeBruyn jumps into the air while participating in a weekend game of war with friends. The goal of the game was to “kill” as many opponents as possible. Kickin’ Duane Seay dives to block Ricky Studly’s shot at the goal in a friendly game of soccer. Students played sports for fun, exercise, and practice at the nearby parks. Quick Spray Sharon Roscoe sprays her hair for a last minute hold while she waits for friends to arrive to pick her up. Making hair look just right was a major part for many in getting ready. Weekends a Ae a Oe i, ork “Music is part of the high school world now and without it teena- gers would find it very hard to express themselves,” said Heath Cook, a senior. Self-expression was the name of the game as musical tastes in- cluded heavy metal,lighter tunes of the 50’s and 60’s, and even “creative modern noise” as Jill Rodgers, drummer for “Voodo and the Guest Room” described the style of her band’s music. Dan Moriarty, a senior, observed, “I listen to a wide range of music. My tastes range from Folk-Blues to classical to Metal Mania Stacey Rhody sports his Metallica shirt. For many, T-shirts of their favorite groups were a way of expressing themselves. Terrific T-shirts Laura Keiner displays her Fatal Vision T-shirt. Many students had shirts of their favorite groups, past and present. Music or Play punk. Particulars include classics like the “Beatles” and Bob Dylan, and others like “They Might Be Giants” and “Nation of Milk”. Other fav- orites are the “Happy Time Polka Band,” “Lipps Inc.,” and “Menudo”. As well as enjoy- ing various types of music, students ventured to various locations to find just the right style for them. For some, this meant simply a trip to the stereo in their bedroom, but for others a trip to Richmond or Georgetown was in order. Se- niors Chris Garvers’ and Dan Thompsons’ heavy metal band,”Fatal Vision,” played in such nightclubs as the Jade El- ephant and Newgate Prison. No matter where this band played, they received a big turnout of people who admi- red their talents. The most in- teresting point about such a turnout was the wide variety of people, from punk to chic sophistication; their styles ranging from metalband shirts to heels and dresses. But they all had one purpose in mind: to enjoy the music they like and express themselves in the best way they knew how.

Many students enjoyed socializing during the change of classes. Step in Time Randy Kelly rushes to make it to his locker between classes. Many students have found the five minute break too short. Smile, Smile, Smile Lisa Payne and Tabitha Broyles are all smiles as they talk at their lockers. Stu- dents gathered at their lockers between classes often crowding up the hallways.

For the five minutes between classes, students were free to chat with friends about the day’s events, go to their locker, and simply relax. Between classes proved an excellent time for catching up on the day’s events, last minute studying with friends for that quiz next period or simply spreading the latest gossip about who was with whom and where. Romances bloomed and died; smoke wafted from the bathrooms drawing the disap- proving stares of passing teachers. The hall sounds were all but unbearable, comparing favorably to the noise at an AC DC concert. The crowds passed quickly in twos, threes, and fours, headed for the next class. Because of the new locker changes, some students found it extremely challenging to go to their lockers and make it to their next class on time. For seniors, the priviledge of having their lockers upstairs proved a mixed blessing. Though they now had an ex- clusive locker area, it was crowded and access to the lockers was difficult. Michelle Shelton, a senior, stated, “Now it’s impossible to go to my locker and make it back to class on time, without being pushed around.” For many of the underclass- men, getting to class in less than five minutes would have been a great achievement, since their lockers were near the cafeteria. Some of the students chose not to use their lockers as much this year be- cause it was such an inconveni- ence. Matt Dinheart said, “Most of the time, I don’t even bother going to my locker any- more. There’s no time.” Aside from the locker situ- ation, the students enjoyed their time between classes. Gene Whitman, a freshman said, “This is really the only time I have to talk to my friends that aren’t in my classes.” For many students, these five minutes between classes and lunch were the best part of the day.

Between Classes it de ot PR, ieee fF © Socializing Picture yourself being seen at a big party. As you walk in, you hear the blast of loud music bouncing off the walls. The smell of cigar- atte smoke forms in big white clouds at the ceiling. You can hear loud talking and laughter fills the small, crowded room. Empty cans lie on the floor being kicked as people walk or dance by. If you’re not the party type, picture yourself being seen with a small group of friends con- gregating by the lockers ona Fri- day afternoon. You and your friends are discussing what to do over the weekend. The con- versation is full of ideas, and none seem to be the perfect sol- ution for the question “What do we do?” Some may choose the football games here at school, or some others may decide on going to the mall or to be with their Quicksip Teresa Dodd and Rena Burgess stop by the water fountain to chat between classes. Spending too much time social- izing often resulted in being late for class. friends. Jennifer Floyd, a sophmore, said, “Mostly it’s going out with my friends or watching T.V., mostly football games.” Some students talk on the phone with their friends. Some call their girlfriends or boy- friends just to make conversa- tion. Leslie Simms said, “One night I’ll go out with my boy- friend and other times I'll go out with my friends.” More and more socializing occurs with students in an out of school setting. Students who work find that socializing with their friends at work is a pleasant change. It offers students a chance to develop new and different friendships while earning money for more socializing. Sports provides an additional opportunity for students to become more in- volved with their classmates and build school spirit. Whether playing on the team or attending the events, there’s always one more person to meet and one more place to go. In addition, many students realize that afterschool clubs and organizations can provide another social opportunity. The social scene is popular with everyone. Chris Corbin thinks being popular “is an im- portant aspect of school life. It’s nice when you go to school with people you know, not strangers.” So wherever you are, look around. There’s al- ways socializing and places to be “seen.” Whatever social scene you prefer, chances are there will be new faces and new experiences. The attitude of students seems to be take the chances, meet the people, and have the fun!

Although being caught de- facing any part of the school building does result in clean- ing some part of the school, there's always a wise guy. Rachel Knudsen Leaving A Mark With the stroke of a pen or anything else that will scribble out a message, graffiti is left behind. “Most people graffiti and doodle out of boredom and to pass time during class,” stated Joyce Houchin. Desks, books, and lockers are common places for graffiti. Desks seem to offera convenient graffiti spot for students trying to struggle through those last minutes of class and books and lockers occasionally scream out to be personalized by their owners. Even though there is a definite risk if you are caught, everyone seems to have a need to leave their mark. Whether it’s “I love S.O:S eOLelewas Nere. | there’s almost always graffiti just about everywhere you look. You can always read what someone thinks about someone else and occasion- ally even entire con- versations between friends. Denise Taylor Ceilings display the collection of markings from students of years gone by. le ee ee Letter Perfect “Lori loves S.O.S., Kim-N- Jeff, Tanya-n-Chris, Stefi-n- Rick” and other news along with band names like Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Met- allica and countless others filled the jackets and note- books of students every- where. Blue jeans, back- packs, and shoes were also abused. Kelly Mullen felt, “If it is your private property, you have the right to do what you want to it. School prop- erty doesn't belong to the vandalists who write all over it; they have no reason to scribble everywhere.” Graffiti was widespread. As long as there were places to write on and things to write about graffiti won't erase with time. Denise Taylor Leave a Mark Binders and notebooks were fav- orite surfaces for graffiti and dis- posables. Towering Talk It rises up, foreboding but inviting...inviting students to climb to its heights and dec- orate its side with proud messages of graduation and success. The water tower has been a fovorite location for students to advertise the year they leave high school and go out on their own. But it also represents a danger to student safety and painting its heights is discouraged by the administration. “Painting is extremely dangerous and if a student were to fall and get hurt, it would be very bad for the school not to mention the student!” said Principal William Pugh. However, students see the water tower in an different light. “Sure I'd be scared of falling, but pain- ting the water tower is a chal- lenge and a tradition,” said senior Todd Harold. “It's a good way to show your school spirit,” senior Brian Grella added. But the fear of getting caught advertising com- ments on the tower kept many students from under- taking the task. “I'm not ex- actly sure what the punish- ment would be for painting the tower. We haven't caught anyone since I've been princ- ipal,” remarked Mr. Pugh. But neither punishment nor fear of heights has kept students from this popular graffiti site. The water tower remains the place for student doodling.

A cheer erupted in the Media Center, where a large group of students had gathered to watch the liftoff of the space shuttle. After a 98 minute delay, Discovery blasted off at 11:37 A.M. on Thursday, September 29, 1988. Students had anxiously awaited this moment but with mixed feeling. Would history repeat itself or would everything go as planned? “This is where it blew up last time,” said senior Rus Phillips.

Everyone of us will remember dif- ferent things but all will re- member the friends and the special times we had together.” Senior Brian Grella re- called, “The experience | re- member the most was walk- ing down the street in Spain and saying “Hi” toa Spanish man in Spanish and he said “Hi” back to me in English!

Deja-Vu The French students had the opportunity to put what they had learned in class to good use over the summer. Ms. Pat Jones led the stu- dents on a ten day trip in France. They toured dif- ferent parts of the country- side and enjoyed learning about the different way of life. The highlight of the trip was the stay in Paris, where the students explored fa- mous museums and visited the Eiffel tower. The French food and cus- toms were enjoyed. The students took pleasure in meeting new people from the U.S. and France and forming long-lasting friend- ships. The hardest part of the trip was remembering to speak French in the stores and restaurants. But of course in addition to learning so much, they also had fun. As senior Kris- tin Pacello puts it, “We had a great time, but partied al- most a little too much!” Katie Erskine Quick Change Home sweet home — a home away from home for Lara McConnell — was Nein- burg, West Germany. Lara spent her senior year in Ger- many as an exchange stu- dent. The opportunity to spend the year abroad was “a dream come true” for Lara. Even after four years of Ger- man, speaking it constantly was a challenge at first. It be- came easier as the weeks went by; in fact, after speak- ing German every day, she found she had “some real problems” speaking English. Since you had to be 18 to drive, bikes and motor scoot- ers were ways of getting around. “I have to ride my bike about 40 minutes a day!” exclaimed Lara.

Ms. George, a Chemistry teacher at Stafford High School ran a race based on bringing new blood and new ideas into city govern- ment. She also wanted to re- vitalize the city council and make it more effective. A pol- itically savvy candidate, Ms. George campaigned hard in her race for mayor. Students at Stafford were in for a new experience hav- ing one of the staff members run for public office. It al- lowed students to become more aware of local govern- ment issues and brought ex- tended student participation in the campaign. Students were happy to hear that if Ms. Out and About Tim Ballard and Lee Wright make afterschool plans in the student parking lot. The lot was a gathering point for students to talk before going home. Stick It To Me A Stafford parking sticker was placed on a student's car. Parking stickers were mandatory for com- muting students as parking was limited. George won the race, she would not give up her teach- ing job. Being taught by the mayor of Fredericksburg would be an honor for any Chemistry student. Many letters to the editor of the Free Lance Star sup- ported Ms. George, and many supported Mr. Davies. Red, white, and blue signs were posted throughout the city of Fredericksburg and the county of Stafford. When September sixth rolled around, there was a large city-wide turnout and the race was a close one. The votes were cast in the lively campaign and Mayor Davies succeeded in his fight to keep his position. Ms. George, gracious in defeat, thanked her constituents for their support. Carolyn Jones Sticky Situation The line to obtain parking stickers grew longer, as students were confronted by the annual parking di- lemma. The first few stu- dents in line to puchase their parking stickers were the lucky ones; others were not so fortunate. Many stu- dents did not receive their parking stickers at all be- cause there was a limited number. “They wouldn't give me a parking sticker but I drove to school any- way,” said junior Mike Car- ter. Once the parking stickers were gone, students were put on waiting lists and still were not guaranteed of re- ceiving a parking sticker for their car. The main com- plaint by the underclass- men was the new rule that stated that only juniors and seniors were permitted to drive and park in the school parking lot. “I think they should enlarge the parking lot and let us drive,” said sophomore Sharon Roscoe. Many of the upperclassmen were mad because they felt that the grade levels were not being checked carefully enough and that sopho- mores were getting the stickers anyway. The park- ing stickers were required of all the cars parked in the parking lot and the stickers were found on the back left bumper. Many students scramb- led to find alternate ways to school, whether it be by bus or one of their lucky friends who was fortunate enough to get a parking sticker. Leeann Hansen Full “Once you get through the line, you don’t have time to eat what you bought,” stated sophomore Matt Long. This complaint was Often heard throughout the cafeteria during lunch. Pizza and french fries were the most popular items. Students enjoyed the salad bar where they could try out ingredients to create the perfect salad. However, some students still “brown-bagged” it. Many people did not eat lunch. Every day tables would be covered with books and rapidly scribb- ling pencils trying to catch up on homework. On nice days, the ben- ches outside the cafeteria were filled. “The tables and chairs are always full, there is no place to sit when it is rainy or cold and you can’t go outside,” said junior Kim Golden. Katie Erskine Lunch Hour Seniors Warren Uecker and Brian Fern share a pleasant moment while eating their lunch in the cafeteria. Fill’er Up Reaching for the salad dressing, Pam Radtler puts the finishing touches on her salad. Wooden Legs Everywhere you went, you could see them, students with four legs, two made of wood. Sports injuries or falls were causes for broken bones and crutches. Passes were needed to avoid hallway crowds during breaks. “It was terrible trying to walk Hip Hoppin’ Along through all those people if you couldn't make it out of class early,” senior Joe Lucatra complained. It was more serious for Kevin Watson who broke his leg during a football game. “It's one of the roughest ex- periences of your life,” Kevin said. Iris Sitta Cast Off This discarded cast was a welcome sight for anyone who ever had a broken bone. Delia Pickett glides down the hallway while conversing with Lesley Rowland. Students with injuries left class early filled halls. AS; People Divider “Only one more year!” Having this on their mind, sen- iors tryed to bring up their grade point average, while others deci ded it was their last year and took a break. The seniors had to decide on caps, gowns, tassels, and an- nouncements which they had prepared for that one night every student hopes for, graduation. The rest of their life was beginning for these seniors, whether it involved con- tinued education or sticking around to finding a job, the end of this year was a frightening but exciting prospect. Finding out what SAT’s were all about, Juniors prepa- red themselves for that step that lay ahead, college. Although Juniors realized getting into college maybe dif- ficult, they also balanced their life with fun. Ordering class rings and being a part of the Junior-Senior prom were some highlights. Sophomores felt relaxed, while the freshmen assumed their position. They learned what high school was and de- cided to deal with it. The new situations weren't the easiest but necessary. Dealing with it is not all there is to high school. Making new friends that will last a lifetime and having boyfriends and girlfriends are two others. High schools offers seniors,juniors, sophomores, and freshmen op- portunities that will propel them into the future. Monica Haupt Spike It Lee Rodrigue reaches high to serve.

Most looked back with remorse over leaving good friends after having shared so much of their lives together. Heading out into society to become a part of the working world or off to college, they felt somewhat lost. They started making permanent decisions for the future. They assumed responsibilty. All who tried to make their senior year “easy” found that success comes to those who work. After four good years of high school, the seniors couldn’t imagine leaving. Even though leaving is dif- ficult and upsetting, this time marked the beginning of a new adventure. High school had been fun, but the seniors did not know what lay ahead. For three years now the word “graduation” has been on the minds of the students, but itis always happening to other people and to people older than they. Now they are the older people and graduation really is happening. Leaving be- hind friends will not be hard for some because they will continue into college together or see their friends loc- ally. No one knows what lies ahead. The only prepara- tion for any student is to work, grow, and await.

The Firebird hasn’t been used in seven years. Mr. Atkins worked on the car for sixteen months. Even though the Firebird was in fair condition, he wanted to customize it. He modi- fied the engine, re- upholstered the in- terior, and he painted it canary yellow. Richard takes excel- lent care of his Firebird. “About once every two months, I do routine maintenance on it and repairs every four months.” The licence plate now reads “70 FORM.” “I'd never sell my Firebird.

Others take a more direct approach, “Well, you look nice today,” or “You have nice eyes.” Maybe they even write letters or make phone calls.

Class rings, preparing for SAT’s, the junior senior prom — these are a few new experiences that the juniors will have. Class rings symbolize the high school years. “Class rings are great. They are a sign of your high school years for you to reflect upon,” added Cathy Neitzey. Preparing for the SAT’s may not be one of the best experiences to look forward to for some juniors. Preparing requires hard work, concentration, and appllication to do well on the actual test. “They are scary once you realize your whole future rests on what you get on a multiple choice test.” Hilary Lee vocalized the reality of the SAT’s. Juniors must ponder also what they will do for a lifetime. This is a scary thought for many people, but as Travis Lontz, a junior, states, “With so many career opportunities there is always a field that is right for anyone.” Juniors at the end of the year participate in the juniors senior prom. Socially they are now miniature adults. Experiences such as these change, direct, and add respon- sibility.

In which direction would the turn and in which group would the comfortably fit?” pondered English teacher Jim Andrews. This idea may not be an everyday thought, but cliques play a major role in school, as well as in social situations. Whether walking through the halls or out on the town for a night of fun, students find it necessary to connect with a cer- tain group and to have a place to belong. The different groups are easily identified. In the cliques the people try to dress alike, act alike and share the same ideas. “I wish that there weren’t any cliques and everyone could get along, but it isn’t like that so everyone has to deal with it,” said junior Cori Faticoni. People’s opinions of cliques vary, but all agreed that they are a reality and have a major influence on high school existence. Some students believe cliques to be beneficial in that they give social life structure, but others feel that cliques can be stifling By associating with a particular group, some finc¢ knowing a variety of friends is difficult. The defini tion of a clique is “an exclusive group of friends.’ Everyone, whether he knows it or not, seems to fal into a clique one way or another. A very simple anc reasonable explanation for cliques is that everyone | no matter who he is or what he is like, needs to fee) that he belongs he needs to have some friends tc turn to in case of an emergency. Developing clique: and associating yourself with one seems to be the easiest way to guarantee acceptance. Of course, the alternative to belonging to a specific group is not tc belong to a group at all. Some students find this td be the most appealing way out of the cliquish situ ation.

This is a time to be with friends, to laugh, or just to have a good time. “On weekends several of my friends and I jump into my car and cruise. The problem is that my car only holds five,” said Eddy Britt. Cruising has its drawbacks. The major one is the cost of gas. Kim Wilson replies, “Everyone who gets in my car has to pitch in some money for gas.” Students sometimes cruise to get somewhere or some just cruise to be cool. When asked, senior Larry Ellis says, “Sometimes we get in the car and just take off having nowhere to go.” Many students cruise to relieve stress. In the summer riding with the top and windows down, with music blaring while they chat with friends is one of the favorite things to do to break away from problems. Some stay out late to break curfews. On Friday nights many just cruise around the parking lot of the many stores of Fredericksburg while others just stay around their neighborhoods to talk to their friends, a girlfriend, or a boyfriend.

Many students work on the weekends and after work, going straight home doesn’t appeal to them cruising is a way to relax when one has just gotten off work; plus, one can look for friends, look for fun, and meet new people. Cruising is the ideal time to show off the car. After a hard week of school, responsibilities, and tests, students find that to be able to jump in the car, take off, and have no destination in mind, no place to be, and no responsibilities to meet is a welcome difference. To be able to go where one pleases and do what he pleases had its advantages. Does just cruising around ever get boring? Not to most students. Not as long as there is gas in the tank, music on the radio, and plenty of friends to share the good times with. Getting something to eat, going out to the mall, dropping by to see a movie...and this was the beauty of cruising.

It seems to be stopped, stuck on one time. It seems as if time just refuses to move. It’s only 10:15 a.m. and over half of the day is still left to go. You’ve got a head-splitting migraine and screaming teachers only make it worse. Viola! There you have it, a typical Monday. “I think Mon- days are the worse days because they are the first day of the week and they go by so slowly,” sopho- more Cynthia Petroutsa states. Mondays have al- ways had a way of slowing everything down, stret- ching each second into what seems like an hour. Be- sides that, Mondays bring with them only the knowledge that another full week is ahead. That can really slow things and make time drag. Instead of looking forward to fun and relaxation after school, students know that homework and prepar- ing for another day must come first. Mondays after a fantastic weekend can really drop your excitment level! Who wants to go back to school when more good times are out there waiting if only you could 73 Juniors get to them... The bell rings, students jump from their seats in anticipation for the day to end. Waiting for the sound of the final bell, heas are slumped over. Students have a lot to look forward to over the weekends; parties, being with friends or maybe just a relaxing day away from the books and school- work. Cheerful voices fill the air as the last part of the schoolday approaches. It’s Friday and as an- other schoolweek closes, summer vacation begins to creep its way nearer. Typical Fridays differ from typical Mondays. Normally it’s just a difference in attitude that does it. Of course, not many students like work over play so not many like Mondays over Fridays. But give ita chance. Monday has its redeeming qualities. It’s al- ways an opportunity for a new beginning, and some new experiences.

Plus, people keep their distance.” Although there are many unusual pets around, the same old familiar ones are still around too. Dogs and cats continue to be the favorites and the most common. What can compare with a warm puppy to cuddly with or a purring cat to take its place on your lap. Of course, some other favorite animals are also topping the list. Goldfish are ideal for those tamer pet owners; horses, for those who are a little more daring; and then there are always ant farms for those owners who can’t devote a lot of time to pet care. And pet care is a major part of pet owning. Whether it is trying to wash your dog, walk your cat, or milk your cow, pets require a lot of time and attention.

Pets can be the sweetest when clean and troublefree, but who wants to play with a dirty dog or a muddy cat or a hamster whose cage hasn’t been cleaned in three years! There are also many pets that can do extra- ordinary feats. Senior Ricky Hyde’s cat and dog do something unusual. “My cat opens doors for people and my dog brings them presents,” Ricky states. No matter what the animal, the owners seem to be really attached even if it did mean carrying around a snake to be a personal masseuse. Symbiotically, pets and people live together. It’s either an icky pet ora pet that serves. Aren’t people the same, kind of?The quotes would be different if this article had been composed of pet thoughts. It might have read, “Brian’s not as icky as boas think. He’s clean, silent, cool, and dry to the touch.” Boas consider their human friend as decent individuals. However, cats think of us as servants. One might say, “Cheryl opens doors for cats and brings us pre- sents.” It’s a wonderful communication process.

Sophomore Class Divider A Running Break The break culminates after running in physical education. The chalant walk appeased Bradley Payne, Carl Ackerman, Preston Burns, and Lisa Kelminski. They were no longer the babies of the school. They had already made it through what would be the longest and emotionally the hardest year of high school- the first year. Now they were sophom- ores. Feeling that they had conquered the odds, they were ready to move on to a higher status and greater respect. With only three more years ahead of them, the sophomores had just about everything they could want. Although they didn’t have as many privileges as the juniors and seniors; they had more than the freshmen. Sophomores enjoyed their new found name and re- veled in not being the youngest in the school anymore. They had survived a year. Facing another year doesn’t seem so ominous. As sophomore Stephanie Capps put it, “At least I still have this year before I have to think about college and SAT’s.” Sophomores were able to prepare for the rest of their high school career without being worried with all the pressures that juniors and seniors had to deal with. Although they weren’t the rookies anymore, they still had their run-ins with the juniors and seniors. Sophomore Marie Fedowitz states, “It’s not nearly as bad as last year; being called a little sopho- more is alot better than being called a little freshman. The problem of upperclassmen’s lack of respect for freshmen had been left be- hind and the sophomores were one step closer to being in the up- perclassmen’s position. The most important part of being a sophomore was best summed up by Steve Medley, “This is the year I learn how to drive!” Important events would occur for these sophomores, but they were more than ready to handle hardships.Mandy Shifflett y 4 Sophomore Class Officers President, Duane Seay; Vice President, mae ) ‘Zs : me yd Bryan Grasso; Secretary, Bridget ae 2 hae —_7 Rooney; Treasurer, Carter Smith; and .

Since looking good and feeling bad appeared to be a somewhat general consensus, students tried to look their best each day. Between classes, lockers open, and self- concious students peering into their mirrors to make sure their hair had not fallen out of place or their makeup had not smudged in the last hour. Others rushed off to the hairspray-filled bath- rooms to redo the hairstyle. Consequently, as the tardy bell rang and bodies awaited teacher instruction, we all felt good. The hair was in place; the mirror couldn’t be wrong. The clothes empressed and inspired. No one really and or truly wanted to feel bad, yet there ex- isted a bit of pressure around school to look good. Generally, most students agree, everyone should worry about their appearance to some de- gree, but only enough to look decent and app- ropriate. After that, they should let their own per- sonal style dictate how they look. For some, this could take hours, but for others, it is only a matter of minutes. At any rate, we’re lookin’ good and feelin’ good. Katie Erskine — Meg tama } Ba Arann 4) . aca Ret Lookin’ Good Twins??? Between classes, Seth Donald Don’t they look alike? combs his hair.

Cooper, but it did not bother any of them. It was an easy way to meet each other. After four years of sitting by each other in home- room, the Jeffs became friends. Having the same name seemed like “no big deal.” They all knew each other well and their other friends didn’t make up special nicknames to tell them apart. Friends could tell which Jeff or Jennifer was the topic of conversation by their personality. You could easily tell them apart by their appearance; Jennifer O. Cooper a petite brownhaired gymnast and Jennifer L. Cooper a blonde basketball player. Jeff Cooper had the sinewy somewhat taller, tennis player. build of a wrestler, while Jeff Cooper was a order. When asked if they ever played tricks on people with their names, Jennifer L. Cooper said, “No-we’ve never really done that. It probably wouldn’t work anyway.” Having the same name really didn’t have any advantages, but the constant mix-ups between teachers and adults were easy to adjust to. They could just smile and say “You must mean the other.” Some people might think having the same name means they do not have separate identities, but the Coopers remained individuals des- pite their similarities. They each had their own friends and lives outside of school.

Miss Anita Stowe has taught the class for the past six years. Driver’s Education is a class that really helps. It’s a class that teaches you the basics and fun- damentals of driving. It’s really good that Miss Stowe can find ways to inform the students © Sophomores and, at the same time, make learning safety and good driving habits fun. Many of the students looked forward to tak- ing driver’s education and behind the wheel during their freshman and sophomore year. After the classroom part of the training, students went to the actual driving scene. This was exciting but, at the same time, a little scary and often confusing. Knowing that this could be a small “ticket to freedom” was one major thing to think about. On the darker side, this was also a great responsibility and needed to be treated as such. Some of the students had a hard time realizing that driving was a privi- ledge that could be a great luxury but could also do a lot of damage. Most of the students how- ever, knew the proper actions needed to be taken and handled it well.

It seems strange but a couple of students have to cope with it. And they seem to like it. “It’s convenient,” said senior Mer- edith Lewis. “You always have a ride to school, things which have to be signed are easily done in school, and whenever you, forgot your lunch- money, no problem.” Senior Steph- anie Monn who has her mother as a Calculus teacher in class said, “I am less reluctant to criticize her.” “It’s pretty good,” agreed Jeff Norton who also has his mother in English. “At the beginning it was weird. Everybody asked about tests,” he grinned. Kathryn and John Wilson are like- wise content. “But it has it’s dis- advantages also. Anything you would do, she would find out very quickly,” said Kathryn. It’s bad luck if some of your teachers are your mother’s best friends. Also it seemed that scholar expectations were higher for students whose parents were part of the faculty.

If the kids receiving punishment happened to be your close friends, not much could be done about that, so they just hung in there. After all, they had to live with the people giv- ing out the punishment. Several other Stafford students fit into this select catagory of “students with parent teachers.” Joy and Kris Greene’s mom is Gail Greene in Guid- ance and Kim Creasy’s father hangs out in the language and English dep- artments. They all had to deal with double education both at school and at home. Remember, once a teacher, always a teacher. But that doesn’t mean they couldn’t be your parent, too. The general idea is that this parent-teacher set-up isn’t too bad. Was it uncomfortable? Not really, most of the kids agreed. Even having your own parent as a teacher wasn’t that bad. It was definitely different but could be adjusted to in no time. The only troubles sprung up with friends and misunderstandings, but those could be easily dealt with and put in the past.

There is no real way to stop a rumor, finding its source could often be hard. “I just let a rumor run its course and hope it goes away,” said sophomore Seth Craig. Friends could usually tell when a rumor is the truth, but sometimes they told it to other people another way. “I only start rumors when I know the people, and they are aware of what I’m doing, and they know I’m kidding around,” stated sophomore Preston Burns. Despite efforts to stop them, rumors still and always will remain a hot topic of conversation and a part of everyday life that students live. Students didn’t seem to realize that even if they were kidding, others might take rumors seriously and this is where trouble began. Rumors ranged from silly and obviously untrue to Mark Zohson Stephanie Zsoldos definitely damaging to a person’s reputation. Senior Scott Smith said, “When I hear a r umor about who was where and when I don’t really pay much attention ... but when something really nasty or serious comes up, I listen a little more care- fully. Sure, I think about whether it might be a lie, but it’s human nature to believe what you hear. Sometimes rumors can even alter your entire op- inion of people.” And this is where rumors become harmful. Lies could cause an uproar and really upset a lot of people, especially those to whom were being rumored. Students had another opinion about remors. Some believed that friends who believed rumors and spread them weren't really have friends. With this attitude students found rumors easier to live with and not so harmful. Also, by not reacting to rumors, it was easier to forget about them and the quicker they were forgotten about, the less likely people were to believe them. There is a theroy based on three to four years of being a student.

Just being new in a large school can cause anxiety. Try- ing to find new classrooms can create many tardies the first week of school. Lockers were also a big problem for the freshmen students. Freshmen lockers were located on the 1st floor while many of their classes were located on the second floor. Therefore, the five- minute time period between classes is always difficult to adhere to. Although the beginning of the year had its hassles, with time and persistence, the newness becomes routine. The freshmen begin to blend in with the sophomores, juniors and seniors. These freshmen will actually, in time, move on to the “big” sophomore year. And, in three years, they, likethe seniors will be striving for the completion of high school by grasping the earned diploma. The freshman year can be the most stressful and troublesome of all. Just making the tremendous switch from one school to another and adjusting to an entirely new schedule in itself is difficult. But it can also be the most rewarding, offering many new opportunities to meet friends, get involved in new clubs and groups and experi- ence things new and different from anything else.

YG: Freshmen Class Div Locker Room The five minutes between classes was used in many different ways by students.

Cartoons are enjoyed because they require little effort to understand, and are an easy way to unwind after a hard day at school. Cartoons also appeal to the kid in every one of us. With con- stant, understandable humor, interesting settings, and predictable plots, cartoons are the perfect way to relax and not have to think too much after that day of deciphering Trig problems or finding pre- positional phrases. After waking up and after just completing a hard week at school, who wants to turn on violence, crime, murder, and intrigue? Wouldn't it be better to watch a little mindless ani- mation and not have to think too hard about it, moralize characters actions and get caught up in sticky situations? Apparently students thought so because cartoons of all sorts continue to be fav- orites. Classics like Daffy Duck and the Roadrunner Shows are the most popular. For students who watch cartoons, these are an escape into the days of a less stressful life. Cartoons often became funnier as people grow older. One can find hidden comedy that is missed or is just not understood by a younger viewer. Favorite cartoons often adorn our clothing. Arti- stic people draw their favorites on notebooks, adding a favorite teacher’s head to the body or re- drawing a favorite episode. No matter what cartoon it is, students watch them all the time. This one brief moment to mind- lessly relax and unwind is enjoyed by all.

Throwing on some clothes, you rush to school, and run to your locker. Have you forgotten anything? No, you suppose not, yet it just seems like someth- ing isn’t quite right. Oh well, it can’t be too serious. The other students are staring, pointing at you, sort of laughing to themselves. Why are they snickering at me? Don’t I match? Let’s see, shirt to shoes, shoes to pants...PANTS? Where are my pants!?! Senior Neely Anderson identifies with this fear, and is positive it will happen to her some morning. Embarrassment in front of peers, and the people you want to impress the most can definitely be frighted. No student wants to be singled out in a crowd and laughed at. Students experienced many fears this school year, most not as irrational as Neely’s. “I’m afraid of flunking my tests, then I'll never get into the college of my choice,” says senior Greg Hatfield. Like Greg, many students develop academic fears, or simply carry them over from the previous year. For fresh- men, there is the fear of adjusting to the new high pressure academic atmosphere. Sophomores had to contend with the challenge of maintaining their averages through another entire year, which could Harry Farley Anneen-Marie Farney Thomas Feindt David Fines Paula Fines Crystal Flack Jerry Fleming Margaret Fleming Charles Fox Joy France Stephanie Frantz Jay Frederick Melissa Gallahan Scott Gardner Sarah Garland Kyra Garver All Shook Up be tough. Juniors and Seniors had the fears of mak- ing major choices for a future and excelling acad- emically in order to be a good candidate for the col- lege of their choice. “I fear getting another speeding ticket or losing my job,” said junior Tim Corder. Fears such as this were definitely widespread. Getting one more ticket, being grounded by parents for disobeying or simple carelessness, losing a job and being broke were all foremost in the minds of teenagers in these situations. No matter how safe the road seemed or how secure the job was, there was always some un- certainty involved. Fears are not only present in school, but in social life as well. “There’s always the fear of not being accepted, losing friends, or getting into the wrong crowd,” said senior Rachel Knudsen. But then again, these fears probably made a lot of students try much harder, and succeed, at fitting in and dev- eloping their own “style.” No matter what that style was, usually fears about not fitting in and not being accepted were ungrounded since most students found a place to belong.

The suspense builds as the teacher announces that they will soon miss a day of school due to a field trip. (Field trips rank a close second to snow days in a popularity poll.) “Field trips are good, but snow days are better because they have no ties to school,” stated freshman Paige Moore. Sure getting out of school is a major part of field trips, but there are other definite advantages. Being able to go somewhere new and different is an important advantage to going on field trips. It is agreed that especially if you are interested in the class and what you are studying, field trips are the best. Besides the educational value of field trips, there is the time to spend with your friends. To be able to spend an entire school day with friends talking, catching up on latest news, and going new places together is a definite highlight. Sometimes students enjoy the 0) Freshmen bus rides up and back from their destination as much as the destination itself because it provides the best opportunity for conversation. Just about every class you can think of can take a field trip. FBLA usually goes to Baltimore, the mar- ine science classes go to the aquarium, and history class take a ride up to Washington’s birthplace, or a museum. Field trips are loved by every student that has ever passed or who will ever walk through any school. It is a part of learning to which we look for- ward. When they are over, we all have our own memories of them. Some memories are great, others however, are not so great. “I remember when my seventh grade class took a trip to a histori- cal museum. We were over an hour’s ride from home and the bus broke down. Let me tell you, we really had a real swell time,” sophomore Stefanie Warner exclaimed, sarcastically.Kathy Potter gist ™ ty ec i. zs t- : r A a te ype ie es TES ee C bi BS PRP nettnatiees ncaa po Balti-more Sophomores Robert Pomeroy and Jeff Nazworth gaze down on the city of Baltimore.

At every stair well entrance and exit there was a teacher on duty. This was part of the new administr ation and one of the new rules. The most often heard question was, “Do you have a pass?” It could not just be any pass, ithadto _. = be an official yellow pass. If the stu- ig dent did not have one, they were asked to return to the classroom. The teachers had different duty times and one sat at every stair well entrance and exit, busily grading papers and asking for passes. “It’s a job that needs to be done for the better welfare of the students,” said Wayne Parker. Maybe this was for the better welfare of the students, but most students agreed that it definitely was not an ideal situation. Feeling that they couldn’t go anywhere without being watched carefully made many students uneasy. It definitely insured safety, but for those students who weren't looking to cause trouble, it could be a nuisance. The new administration also started the tardy policy. Everyone, except freshmen, was used to last Todd Mesimer Jesse Miley Jacquelin Miller Lisa Miller Melissa Mix Gregory Monn Angela Monroe Paige Moore Jane Morgan Jennifer Morris Michael Morris Eric Mottern Vicki Mulley Tracy Neal Kevin Nealy Traci Nealy Freshmen Word year’s policy which allowed three lates to each class. The new rule caused a hassle when the bell rang and there wasn’t much time for socializing. The new policy didn’t allow any lates and a total of one late to any class received a warning. A total of two lates resulted in detention or SISS. This policy was especially hard on students because of the new locker situations. The fresh- men lockers being downstairs and the senior lockers being upstairs caused a great many crowding situ- ations. To make it to class in five minutes by stairway can somet- imes be difficult. One slip-up was o.k., but two and you could be ina heap of trouble. This created a dis- cipline factor, but, also, made students very worried and pressu- red. One tardy near the beginning of the six weeks could hang over your head. Overall, the teachers thought the new policies were for the best. It insures that no one be in the halls if they weren’t supposed to be, and, that everyone had an authorized destination.

Students who drove have it easy when it came to finding a ride home. ee) 2 et f “Can you take me home?” This was the most often heard question about 2:15 p.m. everyday. Some students were always in a desperate search for a ride home. Most of the juniors and seniors with cars and parking permits drove to school or they form car pools with neighbors and friends. This type of carpooling could break the boring rout- ine of driving to school everyday as well as to save a few dollars a week on gas money. Friends who lived in the same or nearby neighborhoods found that alternating driving days is a great idea. Also, sharing rides or forming carpools could be a saver if car troubles or other problems arise. Underclassmen usually rode busses which offered safe, quick, and free transportation. Some students who stay after for clubs, sports, band, or extra help relied on their parents to get them home. “I’m glad I can drive because now I can stay after when I need to and I don’t have to worry about mis- Homeward Bound , sing the bus,” said junior Janey Crouse. Finding a ride home was always easier than finding a ride in the morning. The driver usually did not mind the extra passengers if there was room and if they live close to each other. Besides the convenience of riding home with friends or neighbors, it also part of your social life. Being seen in the parking lot after school gave students a prime chance to socialize, make plans for later in the day, or simply to be non-academic. For upperclassmen, rides home weren't much of a problem. Friends with cars were normally willing to help out. For underclassmen, rides home were tough to find, and, most of the time, they virtually impossible to get. But no matter the grade, students search for transportation played a vital role when dealing with the daily grind.

Senior slave day gave everyone a chance to enjoy the change in roles while doing something worthwhile for charity. Seniors are the leaders to whom the students look up to. They enjoy special priviledges and are hated for cutting in the lunch line. But for one day it suddenly change. “Seniors for Slaves” was an un- forgettable event which will stay in the memories of many. The action began one week before, when underclassmen enthusiastically overbid themselves to obtain the power of being a “senior slaveowner.” Junior Melissa Miller, the owner of four slaves smiled contently: “I’m gonna embarrass them all”. ‘ e ia. _, é a ee aie � it} u $y came Pe eae oF 2: Senior Slaves Feed Me Matt Dinheart bought Lee Rodrigue for his Senior slave as a fund raiser for charity.

BESTE See ere ROS ting os ne ae PRD ep ope ani Teacher’s Time-Out Teachers, contrary to popular belief, are not the epitome of boredom; they do lead lives out of school. Teachers are dedicated educators, but they do have spare time for themselves. “But what could they do besides teach,” inquired a doubting student. Everything from hobbies such as travel to a part time job. “I raise Shetland Sheepdogs,” answe- red Mrs. Winona Siegmund. “I train and show them; it is very rewarding an relaxing.” “T love to travel,” commented Elizabeth Mongomery, also an English teacher, “there is a definite exhilaration in travelling to foreign places. I plan to tour England this summer.” Other teachers work in their spare time. “I just enjoy the extra money,” said Greg Feducia, an Erols video store employee. “1 also enjoy working with the rentals.” Some teachers are more cultured than we think. “I love theatre,” insisted history teacher Mrs. Robinson. “I travel to New York at least once a year to see a fine play.” Some teachers even have, heaven forbid, a husband or wife and children. Teachers, like any other parents like to spend time with their family and enjoying their time away from school. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine the people who teach you in schoolas actually doing anything besides teaching you in school but it does happen. As hard as it is to picture, teachers are people too with lives of their own, normal lives, and interests other than furthering our learning. There you have it, proof that teachers aren’t quite as boring as students would like to imagine. Keith Hamrick Moonlighting English teacher Greg Feducia works busily renting videos at Erols. Many teachers held an extra job during the weekends for extra money and enjoyment. Faculty 9) Pet Peeves There are many types of pets but these are like no other. They are annoying, bothersome, and no teacher likes them. What are these? They are pet peeves. “I hate to be a Pollyanna, but too many people refuse to look at the bright side of anything,” said English teacher Mr. Brian Driver. In addition to this, Mr. Gerald Brown, Sociology tea- cher, said his worst pet peeve was “students smoking in the re- strooms.” Others were not so serious, but rather humorous. En- glish teacher Mr. Ralph Ladmirault stated that one of his pet peeves was the “students think it’s cool to call me Ralphie.” All in all the teachers had more good to say than bad about students. Such things like they smell great, they are dedicated followers of fashion, they will, when faced by a crisis, do their work, and, just the fact that they like young people. No matter what they dislike, teachers will always be there to help you and encourage you, to help make the most of your education, and to help you fulfill your life’s ambitions. One of the biggest pet peeves is when the teacher is trying to teach something and students refuses to try to learn, or students talk with others while the teacher is speaking. This not only keeps the one stu- dent from learning, but keeps the students around him from concentrating. But the one thing that matters to teachers is when they do reach the students, and the students learn.Cheryl Paul Laid Back Grant Patton doesn’t let the school atmosphere keep him from stretching out and relaxing. Teachers often preferred that students keep their feet off the desks and if they chewed gum to keep it in their mouth. 110 Faculty Charles Moore Jean Moore Olga Null Wayne Parker Janet Payne Kim Perkins Dale Portner Linda Randall Dorothy Reed Sarah Revetti Dick Roberts Marion Robinson Sandra Sears Nancy Sharp Winona Siegmund Lois Simms Elizabeth Slater Janet Smith Sandra Smith James Stemple Anita Stowe Donna Watts Lou Wendling Tommy Beaner Jason Fleming Jeffrey Harvey Wayne Howard Andy Johnson Lorenzo Morton Kevin Newton Jason Pendergraph Rodney Ruppert James Sampsell Angela Taylor Matthew Vella Cary Welborn Faculty Special Education Join the Deal When the boundaries of academics ended, student's club life began.

Senior Dan Moriarty used this cliche to sum up the pressure on students to participate in club activities. Extracurricular activities ruled the students lives, chal- lenges were offered by every club from French club to | Chess club. Freshmen found clubs to be a good way to get involved and meet people. Sophomores continued club ac- | tivities from the previous year or tried something different for a little variety. Upperclassmen vied for leadership posi- tions and recruited membership from the freshmen and sophomore classes. Every class had a role in club life and took that role seriously. Homecoming terrorized clubs, a panic ensued in the rush to complete club floats. Club leaders were frantic, but they had to deal with it. Preparations seemed innumerable and the work just kept coming. But the members and leaders made it through Homecoming and began to plan activities for the rest of the year. Without a doubt, a full calendar was the sign of a healthy club. Keith Hamrick 112 Clubs Divider Chess Best Travis Lontz comtemplates his next move during a Chess Club meeting for FOCUS.

Mee 8 doin to) pi = FBLA? DECA? You “may ask yourself, “What is that?” Surpris- ingly enough, FBLA is a well or- ganized business club, standing for Future Business Leaders of America. It contains well over 200 members. Some simply join for extra credit in their typing or business course. Others join for more valid reasons: fun, excite- ment, friends, and education about business. Two of the most popular activities of the year are the field trips, one to Baltimore and the other to Washington D.C. “Baltimore was great, we toured the aquarium, shopped and just had a fun time,” said junior Grant Crowder. This is all fun, but the key words in FBLA are Business Leaders. These members of FBLA are the ones that will be found one day head of a major corporation or the president of a large busi- ness company. They are the ones that will sit at the head of the table at all the board meeting, giving or- ders, dressed in tie, jacket, and ooking Ahead the rest of the business attire. And why? Because this is what Future Business Leaders of America is all about. They collect food baskets at Thanksgiving, they attend con- ferences and meetings, they give lectures and attend competitions, but mostly they learn, grow, and have fun doing it. Perhaps you’re not thinking to the future, maybe you want things now. In this case, DECA is for you. DECA, meaning Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America, gives students in marketing classes a chance to explore the career world. They are given a job that suits their interests and allows them to apply their learned skills while still learning from mistakes. “We believe in allowing students the opportunity to apply their skills while learning them,” stated DECA sponsor, Mrs. Lois Simms. Both of these clubs allow students to grow, learn, experi- ment, and apply themselves, pre- paring them for the future now.

SADD CEC Catching the Scene Caroline Neitzey sits quietly in a corner during a CEC meeting. The CEC met every week after school to discuss issues about children. Board Meeting Caryn Bley, president of SADD, starts the meeting off by writing down future activities. SADD participated actively in many functions. Does a sense of joy fill you when you think of helping children? Well if it does, there are ways of fulfilling that joy. “There is?” you ask. Yes. Through CEC, the Club for Exceptional Children, there is a way. The CEC sponsors dances, decorates bulliten boards and has parties. But aside from extra- curricular activities the CEC has, they also help the special educa- tion children in our school. And according to junior Hilary Lee, “the CEC works a lot with the children and not only do you yourself get a lot out of it, so does the child.” The CEC is a great op- portunity to work with kids and to Ideas in Process Juniors Marcy Klinck and Tonya Carroll ponder upon topics raised about children ata CEC meeting.

This club sponsores dances to help the students be- come aware of saying no to drink- ing and driving. “SADD has helped me realize just how dan- gerous driving and drinking is,” Krystina Jansson exclaimed. Students who are not associated with the club also understand the importance of this organization. Senior Diana King sums it up well as she says, “Even though I’m not in the club, it has made me aware of the large problem we have with people driving drunk.” Both of these organizations A New Start CEC President, Cathy Neitzey and Vice- President, Judith Moore begin the CEC meeting.

But more than that, they offered students the chance to become in- volved, meet new people, take part in new activities, and feel more fulfilled for doing so. Whether it is working with children and devoting time to them or making the public and the student body more aware of the danger of drunk driving, these clubs were just the right extra- curricular endeavor for many students. Besides, the chance it supplied for meeting others with the same interests was invaluable to the lives of involved students.

Key Club Pep Club | The shuffling of papers, the sound of writers frantically pecking at the typewriter, fills the room. Staff members try desperately to add the finishing touches onto the paper they worked so hard to perfect. Everyone on “The Con- erstone” staff takes things at their own pace. Maybe this is the reason why each writer does so well. “Our meetings aren’t very organized, yet a lot comes out of them. Everybody checks in, then they basically go their separate ways. You'd really be lucky to find three people in the same place at the same time,” explains Mrs. Robinson, who shares advising duties with Ms. Robbins. “Some may be in the art room, others may be working with computers, or running the press to complete the deadline on time,” she continues. Writing the “perfect copy” is hard work. It’s along, drawn out process that requires a lot of time, patience, and determina- tion. Journalists dig deep into et Literal the back of their minds search- ing for the best opening, a hu- mourous story, Or an outstand- ing adjective that gives a sen- tence just the right zing, that leaves a pleasant melody in the ear; something that hangs in the mind for along time, kind of like a song you can’t stop singing. The deadlines are rushed, the writers are constantly under pressure, and there are a lot of headaches, but its all worth it when the “Cornerstone” is suc- cessfully published as the press churns out the final pages. The staff of our literary mag- azine may very well hold the next Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, or may be even William Shakespeare. No one will ever know until that certain person writes the number one best seller or an award winning play. Consequently, the shuf- fling of papers, the sound of writers frantically packing at the typewriter not only fills the room but may also fill the pages of the next literary magazine.

Students got involved in Drama club more this year than last. DRAMA CLASSES uture Stars Practice, inten- sity, experience, talent, emotion- Drama required one person to be many things at once. Discipline was necessary, but variety and individualism cer- tainly could not be ignored. “The emotional intensity of Drama en- lightens one’s inner self,” said junior Judith Moore. This was, in- deed, one purpose of Drama, but there were many more. “Drama gives you a chance to be someone different every day and explore the aspects of different per- sonalities,” said senior Diana King. The drama club puts on two main plays a year. the first play this year was “Ordinary People” and drama teacher, Mrs. Kathy Magargal agreed that it was a suc- Drama use in sets. cess. Members spent time during drama club meetings discussing productions and planning for coming productions. Occasion- a lly, the members in the club formed committees which were in charge of different areas of pro- duction. This gave members an- other important aspect of Drama- experience. Participation in the production of a play was invalu- able to many students who planned careers in the theatre after graduation, and many dreams of becoming successful ac- tors and actresses could be found on the stage and in the members of the drama club. “Discipline is needed to stay in character. If you laugh in the middle of the skit, you might as well call it quits,” said sophomore Missy Hazard. She continued, “You need to be believable which means concentrating on your character and feeling how your character would feel.” Drama club sponsor and Drama class teacher, Mrs. Kathy Magargal, gave students the necessary guidance and instruction to perform to their highest potentiel. But more than that, Drama is an art that she loves. “I love teaching something that the students enjoy doing and I like to get to know them outside as well as inside school,” said Mrs. Magargal. As a bulletin board in the Drama room states, “Theater will never die,” and as long as the love of theater lives, so will the art.

It wasn't an easy game, but to lose would mean failure. So, everybody spent hours of hard work to catch up with tests, quizzes, extra credit and research papers, in order to collect points for the final run. People had to deal with a new seventh period which made classes about five minutes shorter but added an extra subject. “I like it a lot, you have the chance for a study hall which lets you relax and prepare better,” said Leslie Simms. AP Calculus students left classes ex- hausted. The question you asked your friend was, “Did you answer any of the questions?” said senior Todd Harold. For some people, the wonderful cliffnotes were the last resort while they had to work through Shakespeare s Theatre World in English class. Also with field trips, whether they were to Virginia Beach with Marine Sci- ence, FBLA, an art trip to Washington, or to visit the sup- reme court with AP Government, life was brought into classes and made learning seem worthwhile. Projects like “to think of a technique to drop an egg off the bleachers onto a target without it breaking” in Physics or playing a soap opera in Drama for example let students develop fan- tasy and brought welcome change.

Others feel that having everything be either right or wrong makes it easier. “I like math classes, they've always come easy for me- until this year. AP Calculus has me stumped. I know that the hard work will pay off at college though,” said senior Todd Harold. Think of all the numbers in the world. Think of all the unsolved problems just waiting to be worked on, stumbled through and then finally, at that joyous mo- ment, solved. The scary thing is that math is all around. What if math didn’t exist? Many would an- swer, “Then we wouldn’t have to take Algebra, Geometry, com- puters, or any of the other math classes.” This is true, but think about it. If math didn’t exist, would we? Moving down the math halls and past the library, the concepts of math are not completely for- gotten. Scientists use a great deal of math in everday investigations, labs, problems, and experiments. To measure masses, calculate den- sities, and simply to read a ther- mometer, requires calculations and the fundamentals from the Math department.Mr. Roger Brown’s motto is “Chemistry is fun.” Though this is posted on the walls of his classroom, he tells his classes not to let everyone in on the secret. Though it may be fun, it’s still very hard. The study of science is about learning, ex- perimenting, and actually being able to touch and observe what’s going on. In fact, the excitement of learning and experimenting sci- ence is “getting to see what you're learning about,” noted senior Brian Grella, a student in the new AP Chemistry class. These two disciplines are so closely related that sometimes One runs into the other and they are impossible to distinguish. Sci- ence uses math and math depends on science and investigation. With all of the different levels of courses and the variety of science classes, there’s bound to be one for you. So, pick the one you do best and do it!Leeann Hansen Mad Scientists Mike Odham and Robert Williams com- plete Biology work. Biology was one of the many science offered to the students.

Cultural spirit with a shot of humor or brought fun and more interest in language classes. ulture Shock Entering the classrooms of the language department, one sort of stumbled into another country. “We try to preserve culture in this world,” said French teacher Mrs. Betty Dameron, and here the cul- ture shock was enjoyed. “In this room, you become one of my children, one of mes bebes,” said Mrs. Dameron who enjoyed working with her foreign ex- change students who brought an original and close cultural experi- ence into her classes. “We learn with activities,” said senior Ricky Hyde. Both students and teachers used variety and humour to pursue activities from making up a French skit to vanish- ing podiums in Mrs. Hill’s Spanish II class. Foreign language movies like “El Norte” or a French movie with the clumsy actor Pierre Richard kept studen ts laughing. German IV and V students liked to see slides. “There was no day we didn’t bug Mrs. Cannon for slides,” said junior Sarah Wise- man laughing. But instead they often had to listen to tapes which weren't that easy to understand. “We try to teach languages so that people can converse if they go toa foreign country,” said Mrs. Cannon. Being a German ex- change student, I enjoyed listen- ing to some of my sister’s German class tapes. It was neat to hear my own language again and the stories were real funny. Also it gave me a great feeling if for some moment other people didn’t un- derstand. Spanish class celebrated the Three Kings days three days later, because of a snow day. Pinatas were traditional, and students didn’t feel observed by the so called spanish “God’s eyes.” The French students had a gourmet day with big tables full of home- made delicious French food, which led to exhausted sighs after the stomach was filled with “Mousse au Chocolat.” The Latin class prepared for state and nat- ional contest and planned trips to museums. By the end of the year, students had become closer to a different culture and remembered tradit- ions they surely wouldn’t have if they had just read about them.

Business students used the class to prepare them for rigorous college accounting courses. The big world of business could be a scary place. But some students could approach it with a stiff upper lip and a determination to excel. Taking any of a variety of business classes offered was one way students could prepare themselves for what was to come out there in the real world. Business education is designed to provide a basic knowledge of the activities of business and how business effects our economic system. Any variety of courses could provide this knowledge to interested students, from Intro- duction to Business to the dif- ferent levels of Office Technol- ogy, Typing, and Computer Ap- plications in Business. Type Casting Sophomore Lawanda Morton practices her typing skills during fifth period. ob Market Taking Business was an invest- ment for the future and many students and teachers alike realized this fact. “Business classes help students go out and find good jobs. The classes we offer help them function in society,” remarked Business teacher, Mr. Parker. Business students had high expectations, from becoming a successful re- ceptionist for a major firm to majoring in Computer Science and moving ahead with technol- ogy. Dreams were big, but intense classes made dreams possible and even probable. The Business department sponsored several activities dur- ing the year including collecting food for the needy, business relat- Computer Whiz Senior Jeanette Sullivan puts a program in the computer during her Computer Busi- ness class.

Meetings were held once a month and a guest speaker was a part of the program. All of these activities gave students and faculty alike the chance to become more involved with the Business department and its various func- tions. “Business classes are a good way to prepare yourself for the outside world. I feel that its very beneficial for everyone to take at least one Business course during their high school career,” said senior Cheryl Paul. The future held many things for business class participants, and they elect- ed to get an early start on the rest of their lives.

Technological Breakthrough Senior Danny Lough uses a computer to draft. In many Drafting classes, students used the new technology of computers to their advantage. Vocational courses served many students well, preparing them for jobs after high school and also maybe giving them ex- perience in the field to fall back on. Auto Mechanics, Drafting, Communications Technology, Electricity, Masonry, Fashion Merchandising, and Cosmetology are some examples of vocational courses that many students can take. “Communications Technology has really been an exciting class, it helps me to realize how a job like this would be like after high school,” laughed Don Kemerer, a senior, about his vocational class. This was quite a benefit of voca- tional courses. By giving students hands-on experience in their field of interest, vocational courses prepared students for the future. It could make them realize how much they really enjoyed a par- 130 Vocational ands On ticular job or that they didn’t enjoy it as much as they thought. Then students had the op- portunity to find another interest before diving into an unsatisfying career. Many students find vocational courses helpful and knowl- edgeable in their field of interest. “I feel that Drafting has helped me to gain knowledge of dimen- sions,” added Tanya King, a senior, who may be interested ina drafting career. For students who may not be in- cluding college in their future, vocational courses can serve a lot of good in their high school lives. Even students who do have col- lege plans can benefit from voca- tional courses. The talents and skills they teach can always be used practically and supply educa- tion and experience to rely on in choosing a career.

Many students fol- lowed the course description in the student handbook that they thought would lead them to an easy “A,” but after arriving in art on the first day, they found that art teachers Janet Payne and Retta Robbins were going to give them a run for their money, or ambition in this case. No longer was art a class to goof off in and still get a terrific grade. Art was a serious subject that required concentra- tion, dedication, hard work and commitment. New this year is the art student of the month program. It rec- ognized the student for that month that Ms. Robbins and Ms. Payne thought to be the most creative and ambitious. Winners would have their art displayed in the Guidance Department.

Skills like feeling a chair with the back of your legs before sit- ting down so that you don’t just turn your back on the audience and learning drama vocabulary are vital knowledge in the classroom. A Tense Moment Tara Mendoza and Kelly Cruz anxiously await their turn in tryouts for “You Cant Take It With You.” It was tense during these times for the students. “You have to set yourself into the mind of another person when you play another character, which is difficult for some people and easier fro others,” said senior Diana King, a Drama III student. Drama teachers, Mr. Kozlo- wski and Mrs. Magargal helped students with acting by putting them into the roles of characters in soap operas but most of all they gave the students the experience and knowledge of acting.Carolyn Jones Drama Class Understanding the past situations and how the government works for and against us was one of the main objectives of the history depart- ment. “Mistakes made by people in the past could help prevent sim- ilar mistakes from happening in the future,” said Kerri Shifflett, a sophomore. Geography, history, govern- ment, current events, and socio- logy were the classes taken to take a view of the past, to look the pre- sent in the face, and to get a taste of the future.

This scenerio is a familiar one to everyone involved with the year- book. Staffmember, advisors, and even administration awoke from their sleep in cold sweats wonder- ing if the yearbook would ever come out and the nightmares cease. The terror was even worse for senior Iris Sitta, an exchange stu- dent from Germany. “Writing copy was particularly hard, I knew what I wanted to say, I just didn’t know how to say it in English.” Senior and staff photographer, Jeff Huston, had a similar pro- blem even though English was his native language. “I take photos, that’s my forte.

Students found themselves mentally tired after trying to play music up to the director's standards The word “prac- tice” brought moans ard groans to many band and strings members. Although they enjoyed performing, it took many hours of rigorous practices to get to a final product that pleased everyone. As many students realized, practice did make perfect and paid off well when they found themselves sitting in a high chair in regional band or strings. But practice was not all that band members had on their minds, as stated by band dir- ector Mr. Chuck Hite, “Most of the funniest things in band happen to me.

How did band members get away with this? Well, because Mr. Hite was able to joke with band members. The ultimate seemed to be this, “One competition in Virginia Beach, Mr. Hite made a bet with the flags that if we placed, he would shave off his beard. When we placed second, we stopped at the nearest McDonald’s to eat and to let Mr. Hite shave his beard. He had bitter sweet feelings about it when he cut himself,” said senior Iris Sitta.

Some of us less priviledged of course couldn’t imagine this but those students who were in the various groups of Chorus had a special talent to share with everyone. At the Christmas concert, Mrs. Henderson, the new choir director, stated, “And if you can’t sing, this is probably the group you will be in.” Although this year was topsy turvy for many of these music members, they were still able to joke about it. “There is nothing worse than when we are singing a song and someone barks,” stated senior Karen Reagan. The chous students did many things this year to show ote Worthy off their talent such as school concerts, candlelight tour, and just singing at different places in Fredericksburg and sur- rounding areas. “Even though we work hard, it’s worth it be- cause the payoff is good,” sta- ted senior Tabitha Broyles. But what kind of payoff? It’s “the satisfaction of being able to hit a note that you haven’t been able to hit all week,” sta- ted senior Karen Reagan. But even if you didn’t hit that final C at the end of a song, you felt good because you were pleased with yourself and that was im- portant. Music was an outlet for students to show their em- otions, develop their talents, and really feel about what they were vocalizing. “Singing is a good way to express yourself without being sent to the office,” stated senior Kathy Pickett. No matter what type of song students found that singing kept spirits up and allowed for greater indi- vidualism. Cheryl Paul Takin’ A Break The Chorale members take a break from singing.

Whether it was summer or fall or winter practice, mem- bers of sports teams had to undergo all types of hardships to keep in shape and do what they needed to do well. Being involved in sports meant hours after school, but students strived to be the best. For when they won a game, meet, or match, they knew their hard work had paid off. Due to the hours involved in each and every sport, students often found it difficult to find time for other ac- tivities. “I was so tired after practice or a game, that I'd come home, grab something to eat, and go to bed. So I usually didn't do my homework till the next day,” said senior Carey Doggett. Whether it was homework, jobs, or a social life, something was usually put aside due to their involvement. Every individual worked hard, stuck together, and proved to everyone that they were ateam. Through hot or cold, they knew what had to be done, who was respon- sible for doing it, and what kind of committment it took to be the best. They were proud when succeeding, and when failing, they held their chins up and dealt with it. Monica Haupt Towel Break Chris Brotzman takes a quick rest on the sideline.

When asked how the season was going, junior John Trammell jokingly replied, “Don't ask, you really don't want to know.” All the players contri- bute their best and try to please the audience, the coaches, and most of all themselves.

The girl's team showed that the most important word in a basket- ball team was “team.” They worked together, stayed together and tried their best to win. Team work and team effort seemed to pay off for them. The girls always encouraged their friends and peers to join them at the games. “What are you doing tonight?” questioned Kris Greene. With “nothing” as the reply, she would then add, “come to the game, please!” They felt it was important to have a spirited crowd cheering them on. “We work hard and the season’s been rough, but that’s to be expected.

Before practice, the teams were found in the girls locker room changing, talking, putting their hair back, and lastly, lacing up the high-tops. The girl's practices began with dribbling, passing and shooting drills. Then they broke up into two groups and went over dif- ferent offenses and defenses for the upcoming game.

The ball travels back and forth between your opponent's racket and your own. The other members of your team are sitting on the edge of their seats, watching intently as the end of another match is near. The overall score is tied and this last serve is going to determine the outcome of the whole match. The record of the tennis team re- lies on you. “We lost a lot of close 5-4 matches. But overall, I think we had a good season,” coach Chris Hylton explained. The members of the team were close. Even if one of them lost or if the team had a bad day, they never pinned the blame on each other. Senior Car- rie Ingalls explains, “Even if someone lost, it never really mat- tered because we're only out there for the fun.” Many team members will be leaving this year. Among them are top seats Carrie Ingalls, Val- erie Holmes, and Leslie Simms. They are ranked first, second, and third, respectively. There are also upcoming sophomores and juniors including Laura Bo- dine and Kim Armentrout that promise to be successful next sea- son. Another season has come to an end and like a roller coaster, there were many ups and downs. But, just like life, it’s something you have to deal with.

Underclass- men such as Bryan Grasso and Carter Smith get a chance to strut their stuff and show what to ex- pect for the next two years. Practices are hard but most players don’t mind. “Practices dont really bug me because I love playing tennis,” Bryan Grasso explained. Coach Hylton also holds a positive image of tennis as he explains, “Tennis is really helpful because it gives the players something to take pride in. It also helps them be more successful in their future life.” Kathy Potter Pye A LOIOOIE { 3 ¥ - t | i f od 4, ‘ Cr ee Se a? ‘ z 7 7 Z s a, BoM, Be 75 we any rennet ¥ P Y Pas Om a i ; ¥ : ‘ bis cies es . ‘ a ate dn oon oe q Copier mgm ‘ aca 2 ge age aga . : ee an 2 i ¥ Pry ep A es, ‘ pecan Lidtaee eee Ay eA PO LL PEE wih Ps KPFALLTI FE LE LL Practice Swing Kha Nguyen s lams the ball at a recent practice.

When the soccer conditionings started, the fields were wet and muddy and one never knew when it might begin to rain again. This forced all the spring sports to share the gym and alternate prac- tice times. But, as soon as the sun was spotted through the clouds, they were all out on the fields dealing with the conditions and trying their hardest to make it through final cuts. The boys were coached by Coach Glasier and Coach Kozlowski and the girls by Coach Daytield and Coach Perino. “I’ve been looking forward to soccer all year. It’s a lot of fun, especially at games when you really get to use your talents and abilities,” stated junior Laura Bodine. Surprisingly, around fifty girls showed up for practices and about the same amount of boys. All the | O4 Soccer players were strong and all hoped to make the varisty team. This being the case, they all expected the season would go well and they would have a strong and experi- enced varsity and J.V. team. The boys expected the same since many past players were back and ready to play. “I think that with a lot of practice, we have a good chance of going to the final,” said junior Chris French. The practices began with run- ning dr ills and then progressed to kicking, passing, and dribbling the ball back and forth, up and down the field or gym. Everyday practices lasted for two hours. For some, the first day of practice was followed by sore muscles, but for others, who had been practic- ing all winter at the parks, there was no problem.

Dirt flies as Scott Davis smashes the ball in the direction of the first hole. A great ° deal of concentration was needed to play the game. Silence falls upon the crowd as an un- identified golfer readies himself in position. In almost an instant, he smacks the ball with his club and watches the small white dot travel through the sky and land on the greenery near a small hole in the ground. With this skill comes practice and two weeks befor school star- ted, many committed golfers from our school got together at the Fredericksburg Country Club for three to four hours a day to strengthen their golfing skills. Throughout the season, many players did advance in their skills as well as lower their scores. Some players were extremely serious about their sport and playing it on a high school team expanded their horizons to look into a golfing career after college. Scott Davis, a senior, is one of these players and explains, “With a future in golf, if you play well and make any professional tour, the life is glamorous and the money is abundant.” Different students play golf for different reasons. Some played golf just for the fun of it, some in hope of a future golf career, and some just to pass the time. When asked, senior Charles Beamon said, “I play golf because I enjoy it. It takes skill and concentration and it’s a challenge to master. After all, you can’t beat the good feeling you get after playing your best.” Carolyn Jones ASUhG Heroes Managers enchwarmers Tes Not Over Til Senior's Last Game College Sports Pep Rallies Superstitions Sizzlin’ Tem pers No Pain, No Gain North Stafford AE TT WYER SE rie 40k All Dressed Up and no Place To Play It’s the last game of the season. The list of starting players ends and your name isn’t called. The thought of being a “benchwarmer” races through your mind, and that’s when your stomach drops and your body fills with despair. For some players, this was reality. A surprise was made by a benchwarmer Christy Johnson, a senior, who played softball. At a game against Courtland. She got up to bat and knocked a three run homer. “T surprised myself when I hit a homerun but I mostly felt like I had proved every- one wrong,” she exclaimed. Managers are also vital, forgotten people who sit the bench during the games. Without managers for a team, the players would be carrying the equipment and suffering from thirst during the game.

This was a common call heard by the men in black and white. How did the referees know when to make a call? “Well, you learn and you are trained to keep your eyes and ears open to those sort of things,” stated Ath- letic Director Jimmy Jones. Meanwhile, outside, a bus driver was waiting to take the team back home. Even though the bus driv- ers weren’t arguing with the referees, they had to argue with something worse, the students. “The worst part of driving a bus is the noise and people act- ing like animals,” stated bus driver Mr. Gray. I guess you have to realize just how important these people really are. Cheryl Paul Braves Rays Contrary to popular rumor, there is no Olympic size pool on the imaginary third floor. If there was however, we might have a few swimming Indians. At night though, seven In- dians transform into Sting- rays and swim at the YMCA. “T enjoy sports, I run cross-country for the school team,” siad junior Jason Gallaher, “But I also love to swim competi- tively, there is no other feeling than coming out of the water knowing that you are a winner.” Stingrays practiced an average of 16 hours per week and competed on weekends at colleges all across Virginia. “We've been to Radford, the Uni- versity of Virginia, Old Dominion University, and Time To Rest Rhonda Roberson takes a break from batting off the pitching ma- chine. other schools to compete,” said senior Stephanie Monn, a Stingray since she was eight. “I find that com- petitive swimming has really organized my time,” said Stephanie. “I spend three hours a night lifting weights and swimming and have to go away on the weekend, so I don’t have time to procrastinate on my schoolwork,” she added.

Ready To Play For some students, being accepted to college meant more than just going to school, it also meant con- tinuing sports on the college level and perhaps progres- sing toward a career in sports. Being accepted to a college on a sports scholar- ship was an honor but frightening at the same time. As Leonard Short stated, “I’m really excited about playing football in college. It’s the school work that I’m not looking forward to.” Melissa Puckett adds, “I’m going to have a little trouble adjusting, but I’ll get the hang of it.” Mandy Shifflett Mini Mag F (OO | OY Pep Up The students pack into the gym, most of them are more excited about missing seventh period than the up- coming game.

You turn once again to look at your path and see a black cat scurry across in front of you. Or maybe it’s a broken mirror that really frightens you or perhaps spilling salt without throw- ing any over your shoul- der. We all have super- stitions of one kind or an- other and they entered into every aspect of our life. Athletes had more than their share of supersti- tions. “I’d say [havea lot of superstitions,” said senior tennis player, Chad Mulli- kin. “I always bounce the ball three times before | serve, and it’s bad luck to toss my racket in the air. There’s just things you do in a game and if you get a bad shot by doing them, you won't do them again!” Chad continues. Sometimes putting on the right shoe before the left, carrying a four leaf clo- ver to the meet, or even a number could be a bringer of good luck. “I’ve had the same number on my jersey since sixth grade and I’ve won the same shirt under- neath my jersey since eighth grade,” said senior Football player, Warren Uecker. How do you overcome superstitions? “If they don’t work, you give them up” said senior track mem- be r, Chris Sweigart. But sometimes ignoring super- stitions can do more harm than good. The verdict? Hey, if they help you win, maybe superstitions aren't all that bad! Wendi Spangler ae ne ae are ee Ee Pain or Gain ...One, two, three, and up and down, push ups, sit ups, squats, sprints... Regardless of what kind of sports you participated in, besides fun, there were certain pains which led to gains. Not only physical pains of soreness or in- juries: senior Leonard Short broke three toes dur- ing a scrimage and injuries were inevitable. But there were also men- tal pains. It took a great deal of self-discipline to give up Friday night fun so you'd be ready for Mr. Humphrey’s six a.m. soft- ball practice Saturday morning. Wrestlers had to take care of their weights. Senior Stacey Rhody re- membered, “I’ve seen peo- ple eat rice cakes and tunafish to try to make a weight.” Self-control, confidence, and conditioning finally were gains that were worth the pains.

The final pep rally of the year was used to support the Basketball team in their game against the North. As the year came to a close, Seniors graduated and head- ed for the beach, Juniors were preparing themselves for that deadly disease, “Senioritis,” Sophomores were finally upperclassmen, and Freshmen passed their dreadful name on and felt like true “Indians.” Whether it was the government test you got a 64 on, the basketball game that was lost due to the team captain s mis- take, the club meeting you forgot all about, or that guy you had your eye on all year but never had the courage to talk to, everyone had carried on and in their own way learned to “deal with it.” Mistakes were made throughout the year, but good times were always there to balance out the bad. Besides, although you failed the government test, maybe you aced English. Maybe the game that was lost taught the players a serious lesson, they won the next game. Learn- ing from mistakes was a lot to deal with. It was now the end, and students scattered like ants having nothing to deal with but the future.Monica Haupt Heading Home Jon Weaver, Danny Howgate, Jeff'and Jennifer Cooper gather in the parking lot after school. Some students stood around after school while others left as soon as they could. Closing Warming Up J.V. Football players warm up before practice. Stretching made sure there would be no injuries. Early Dismissal Students were released from school early because of snow. The snow rarely made the roads slippery but no one minded. Closing Adviser's Deal Since January third, this theme has literally haunted me. The haunts began by taking Nancy Breckenridge s place as the adviser, when contracts had already been signed and responsibilities des- ignated. They continued as I realized that the staff was short on skill and or un- derstanding to what a yearbook consists. We dealt with these haunts. When Monica was absent, Wendi packaged the deadlines. When Jeff backed up with photo assignments, Bob Wallace, Leeann, Kathy, and pretty much everyone, including Billingsly Press, helped. And when I screamed, Janet Payne listened and advised. Mr. Pugh, also, supported our efforts to hold together and to do our best. However, we owe the most thanks for this success to Jim Ellis, Hunter Publishing. He knew we could “deal with it,” and he went out of his way to show us this. Deal with it! Cope! Hang in there! These haunting whispers can now forma silent band because we took an unfavor- able situation and coped, hung in there and...just dealt with it. Lynn Miller gigs EE re Editor's Deal My idea of being an editor was far from what it turned out. Little did I know all the problems that were going to come my way. With an inexperienced adviser who eventually resigned, my co- editor quitting, and many financial dif- ficulties, I knew it couldn't get much worse. Christmas brought me a present I much deserved, a new adviser. She was very experienced, determined, and in control. I leave many thanks to her. Many other people helped me through all my hot headed tempers and I would like to thank them also. Thanks Jeff for putting up with me. I know I never told you, but you did a great job. Thanks Wendi for spending many late nights up with the computer, then redo- ing everything when you found out I changed the layouts. Mostly, Id like to thank Jim Ellis, our representative from Hunter Publishing. He made me feel much better by saying, “It’s going to be ok.” He helped us out a lot and if it wasn't for him this volume wouldn't be here today!
