MUSICALLY TALENTED Musical activities and students went hand in hand throughout the school year. During “Music in Our Schools” week, students gave daily announcements and donned badges advertising the week’s importance. Chorus and band students alike benefitted from the week and from the school’s musical curricula. The chorus and the choral ensemble had a busy year in school and regional events. In the fall, regional chorus tryouts were held in the school auditorium, and two students were picked from our chorus. The choral ensemble entertained at many assemblies, including the Black History program where they sang traditional Negro Spirituals. The band, while small in numbers, accomplished many things. The annual citrus fruit sale brought in money for the group. More musically related activities included the Christmas and spring concerts with the chorus. The marching Raiders got an additional boost from Booker T. Washington band students during football season, and a new pep band was formed from Suffolk High members. All in all, the musical year was the beginning of a new cycle of fine arts. Pep Band left to right: Seated—Quinton Riddick, Bill Jenkins. Mackey Carr, William Powell.

CLUBS ACTIVE IN MANY ASPECTS All types of clubs, especially vocational and academic, were very busy during activity period and after school. One club that was particularly busy was the Future Business Leaders of America. During FBLA, members of the club gave away lollipops, participated in the Vocational Breakfast, had an FBLA breakfast, and honored the Basketball team with a cake at the pep rally. Also, the club planned to participate in the Spring Regional FBLA meeting at Norfolk State University. Another very active club was the Distributive Education Clubs of America. Fund raising activities dominated the clubs time, but in addition, members were among the most active in the school and community. They delivered food to a needy family for Thanksgiving; gave cards and ornaments to patients at Autumn Care Nursing Home; delivered plants to the mayor, the superintendent of schools, and to Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Jones; and participated and placed in the District 10 DECA Competition in March. The Future Farmers of America, like FBLA and DECA, also participate in competitions. Contests include a Forestry Judging Contest, a Mechanics Judging Contest, and other Peanut Federation Contests. The FFA sold citrus fruit with the band in December, too. The National Honor Society chapter, while not as active as FBLA, DECA, and FFA had its share of traditional activities. They sponsored the annual Thanksgiving assembly where seven new members were tapped in and new officers were sworn in. The chapter also sponsored two members for National Honor Society scholarships. A new organization to students was the WHRO academic team. After the members competed for places on the team last spring, they practiced diligently and prepared to compete against other Tidewater teams. Our team defeated Peninsula Catholic High School, York High School, and was finally defeated in the third round by Lake Taylor High School. In the spring, Senior members helped in the elimination rounds to choose the 1983-84 team. Honor Society left to right: Front Row—Julie Ryder, Kim Holly, Kelly Carter, Sherry Ruden.
