Many people shoose heavy metal while others choose new wave. The tastes of music vary from person to person. Many new attitudes are shown by the music performer. To- getherness is one new atti- tude. Live Aid shows the to- getherness of many per- formers. These musicians gathered together to form a concert to benefit the starv- Student Life ing people in Africa. Musi- cians such as Phil Collins, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, and Madonna performed during this live concert. The ‘‘Preppies’”’ and the ‘‘New Wave” hit head on to join forces for a new era of individualism. Student Life Opening 3 Getting Involved ot only in fashion and music are new attitudes ex- pressed but students face new attitudes during school. Getting involved is a major part of this new attitude. Joining clubs, and being active becomes a major of student life. Students spend many extra hours after school so they can be active in their school environment. Also throughout school the attitude is being stressed to achieve the greatest you can, through grades and school involve- ment. The basis of this ‘‘new attitude”’ the world is experiencing is being yourself. Do whatever feels comfort- able to you. Throughout time we will experience new attitudes no matter where we are or who we are. Starting the year off right, Mary Daniels lis- tens attentively and takes notes on the Aen- eid during her Latin 4 class. As a fundraiser, the art department elected to create posters of popular rock stars to sell for a reasonable price. 4 Opening Being a new comer at Thomas Dale High School, Cathy Bach seems to be taking her freshman year all in stride. Sanne eae! Practicing for the future, Anne Daniels works steadily on her “‘masterpiece’’, hoping that one day she will be doing this for money. While sitting in Latin class, the first week of school, Taylor Stone wishes peace through- out the world and high surf at the beach. Hoping that her senior year won’t be hard, Laura Tabor finds herself studying as hard as ever for her test next period. At the look of Mrs. Sloan’s face while grading papers, there is no doubt about it, senioritis has already struck. Opening 5 New Choices Abound here are two aspects of summer that everyone re- members, fashion and mu- sic. In the past everyone ba- sically wore the same fashions and enjoyed the same music. However, now there are so many different choices in fashion and music that it would be almost impossible to list them all. Most all of the styles you saw this summer in the local town of Chester originated at the beach. Some peo- ple totally went ‘“‘beach crazy” with their jams, long t-shirts, tank tops, and high tops. Lots of bracelets, beads, long earrings, and anklets were worn with any of the styles. There are those people who like to wear neon clothing and then there are those who wear whatever is comfortable to them. Of course, there are the punkers and new wave groups who like the triple pierced ears and shaved and colored hair. But then there are the mellow groups who feel more comfortable with styles that are basic cut-off shirts and jeans. The world will always be surround- ed by many different types of music from punk rock to heavy metal. Most people enjoyed a variety of musical hits over the summer. On the other hand, some people enjoy only one type of music. Such groups as Tears For Fears, Wham, and Daryl Hall and John Oates were widely listened to. When the subject of music comes up over the summer Live Aid comes to mind. Groups and musicians gath- ered together to raise money for the starving in Africa. Such a wide vari- ety of music exists making it easy for everyone to find just the right mu- sic for them. Delivering a letter to the office, Christine Wo- mack is startled to hear a loud crash coming from down the hall. Groups such as Wham!, Tears for Fears, and ’til Tuesday have been very popular with the students of Thomas Dale. 6 Fashion Music Showing the art department’s depiction of the Reflector, Amanda Volelker also shows her flair for style and fashion. Performing at the first football game, these marching band members have the knowledge to play without written music. a Mrs. Ward’s Fashion II class enjoyed a lunch time fashion show which ended with an array of formal gowns and a kiss for a little boy, Matthew Ward. Fashion Music 7 Fun Can Be Academic ven throughout a summer of vacations many students took time out to go back to school. These eager stu- dents began getting ready for the upcoming school year. Cheerleaders, basketball players, and many others began their hard practices. Not two weeks had passed since school ended before the cheerleaders began practicing their routines for another year of cheering. To sharpen their skills the cheerleaders attended a camp held at Longwood College for one week. The girl’s basketball teams, varsity and junior varsity, also began warm- ing up for the school year by holding practices. To get a start on the foot- ball season varsity and junior varsity football players began heading out to the field again. With four-hour practices, the football teams hoped to become experience d and ready for a good year. A few members of the Latin club were working hard over the summer. During the summer, four members of the Latin club traveled to a state convention at the University of New Hampshire. Steve Harvey, Andrea Lewis, Jamie Woolard, and Joanna Suyes were lucky enough to be able to play for the state certamen team on their level. Thomas Dale’s Latin teacher had the privilege of coach- ing the Virginia lower level state cer- tamen team. While the Reflector staff and the Latin scholars were busy so were other students practicing for the marching band. The band began practicing over the summer to get in tune for the many competitions throughout the school year. The aux- iliary squads which consists of the flags, majorettes, and rifles began learning their new routines so they could be in step during perfor- mances. The flags, majorettes and rifles tried new routines such as twirling capes and fans. The marching band, cheerleaders, Latin scholars, and the yearbook staff prove that school never truly ends. It may have been summer time but that does not stop Thomas Dale students from becoming involved with many activities.

Academic Fun Summer Fun: Here and Abroad ooking back on the hot days of summer, students cannot believe it is time to get back into the swing of things and start school once again. On those last days of school before the sum- mer began, students started getting restless. Finally, it was time to close the books and head for the beaches. From June to August everyone in Chester went through scorching hot days with a few periods of relief brought on by cloudiness and rain. Practically every day of the sum- mer you could go for a relaxing day in the afternoon sun to Chester’s pool. But, do not be surprised if half of the Thomas Dale students, as well as faculty members, would already be enjoying the poolside as well as the tennis courts. There were days of enjoyment for everyone. To most people, summer means great trips to the beach.

Vir- ginia Beach, Nags Head, Myrtle Beach and Florida filled up with Chester locals. Students enjoyed their lazy days lying in the cool air-condition, while there were those who just were not satisfied with lying around. Many students attended camps on any- thing from cheerleading, basketball, and marching band to just plain old- fashioned fun camps. While stu- dents enjoyed themselves on the Eu- ropean trips. Mrs. Diebel and her stu- dents enjoyed the sights of France. Everyone’s response from the excit- ing trips were outstanding. Back home in Chester, nights were filled with entertainment. From movies and concerts to night clubs and parties, plenty of entertainment was provided. Going out and enjoy- ing one of the big film hits or just getting together with your close companions was a night full of fun.

Summer Fun 11 New Faces Appear on TD Faculty pon entering the lobby of Thomas Dale before school began this year, the first sight would have alist of all the new teachers appearing across the screen of the computer board. Many names ran across this new ad- dition to our lobby, including that of Mr. Paul Damaglaski, our new assis- tant principal. Many students have noticed some new faces on our Thomas Dale staff. We have quite a large number of new teachers as well as a new assistant principal. Almost all departments added at least one new teacher to their ranks. We have two additions to our sci- ence department, Miss Linda Good- win and Miss Suzanne Kirk. Miss Goodwin is one of our chemistry teachers, who moved away from Chesterfield but has now returned home. As a music lover, Miss Good- win plays the piano, sings, and dances. She also is a collector of music boxes. Thomas Dale also has a new Span- ish teacher, Mrs. ‘‘B’’ Clayman. She The interest in drama can be illustrated by the number of students who stay after class to help Mr. Alis. | a ES Feeling relieved that her students understand Spanish, Ms. Clayman says ‘“‘Muy Bien’ to a reply she received from the class. —— aad Laughing at a student’s answer Ms. Walli counts the answer correct and the student receives an “‘A.” 12 New Teachers was born in Cuba but came to the United States when she was four- teen. Mrs. Clayman loves to read Spanish literature and listen to Latin- American music. She also enjoys wild birds and is learning how to play the guitar. Two other fans of literature are Ms. Carol Moore and Mrs. Audrey Stafford. Ms. Moore teaches 11th and 12th grade English. She likes to read horror books, especially Ste- phen King novels. She also lifts weights and she collects cats. Another new English teacher is Mrs. Stafford. She has taught at the high school level for 18 years. She likes to read, sew, and garden. She also likes to play bridge in her spare time. She says that the administra- tion is nice to work with and that Thomas Dale is a friendly school. Mrs. Nancy Downey is a teacher who likes to travel. She also likes to read and enjoys working with youth groups. She has been a teacher for 20 years and is currently teaching world geography and U.S. and Vir- ginia history. Cliff Johnson receives writing instructions from Ms. Moore who comes to TD as a new English teacher. Miss Mary Beth Harvey is also a new teacher, joining the business department. A graduate of Thomas Dale, she is now teaching keyboard- ing. She says that she enjoys being back at Thomas Dale. Mrs. Michele Matthew is a teacher of physics. She loves to go to the beach, but most of her time is devot- ed to her little girl. Two additions to the math depart- ment are Mrs. Lisa Walli and Mr. Lew- is Davis. Mrs. Walli, who has taught for two years, is teaching geometry and general math. Another teacher of general mathis Mr. Lewis Davis. Not only has he been a teacher for many years, he has also been a guidance counselor and a high school principal. Our new assistant principal is Mr. Paul Damaglaski. Mr. ‘D.’ comes to us from Manchester High School where he was also assistant princi- pal. We hope all the new teachers and staff enjoy teaching at Thomas Dale and will stay with us for a long time to come. 4 a 4 a | ia 3 a While Lisa Beck finishes her essay, Mr. Ram- sier looks on with amused interest.

Explaining how the problem is done Mr. Neier smiles, seeing that his student is catching on. New Teachers 13 Project TEE Commands _ n Tuesday, August 20th, cars began pulling into the parking lot of Thomas Dale for the first day of school. Yes, school did officially begin on August twenty-sixth but not for the teachers. Their day began bright and early at seven-thirty a.m., Au- gust twentieth. Mr. Sublett welcomed everyone with a leisurely facutly breakfast which was followed by introductions to members of the school board and all new teachers. That afternoon, the faculty met to discuss the goals for this school year and to make plans for the rest of the week. The following days were busy with TEE meetings and clean-up. On Wednesday, all teach- ers went to their different depart- mental meetings while on Thursday all the secondary schools met to dis- cuss Project TEE (Toward Educa- tional Excellence). On Friday morn- ing, the teachers were in their rooms preparing for the classes they would have to teach on Monday. The project that took up a lot of the time of the teachers that week was Project TEE. Project TEE has been in the planning for two years. Throughout the entire county, ad- ministrators have already taken part in this new program. All teachers are now becoming active in this new at- titude toward excellence. A six-hour meeting was held with refreshments and lunch provided. All in all, the meeting was very fes- tive and even included balloons. The basis of this new attitude is the add- ed dimension of coaching. Every teacher has a coach and certain Janitor, Mr. Harris, realizes he has his hands full with the coming of a new school year. Discussing rules for their department, Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown, and Mrs. Smith run down requirements for each course. Looking over their new textbooks before the start of school, the Spanish teachers Mr. Seal, Mrs. Liner, and Mrs. Clayman discuss the quality of their books. 14 Teachers’ Return tasks they must accomplish from a manual. The manual used contains educational material that the teach- ers are required to read. This project is expected to add new dimensions to teaching with excellence. It is evident that the staff of Thom- as Dale has tried to make this year a memorable one and have put many hours into preparation. Spending their time and effort, the teachers form a new attitude toward teach- ing.

Teachers’ Return 15 Many Happy Returns onday, August twenty-six, was a day that struck fear in the hearts of many Chesterfield students. That first day of school was accom- panied as usual by first day jitters. Whether a freshman or a senior, many students wondered who their teachers were and who would be in their classes.

These hard to find lockers were found by the freshmen on the once traditional senior hall, while the other students kept their same lockers from last year. On that first day of school many students noticed a few changes. In- stead of having two lunches, there were three lunches this year. There was also a new rule this year which was enforced throughout all the Chesterfield County Public Schools which prohibited smoking or the possession of tobacco products. Backing the rule up was an automat- ic three days suspension. A benefit of this rule was that the area which used to be for smoking can now be enjoyed by everyone. This rule was also disliked by many students who felt that the rule was unjustified. es Examining the results of their first lab in Phys- ics, Robin Peck and Jennifer Layman check to see if everything looks okay.

To the pleasure of the stu- dents the members of the Thomas Dale Varsity football team were in- troduced. Following the football players were introductions to the girl’s basketball team. Starting off the year with a new attitude the theme of the pep rally was Madonna. Each class was to give their own original presentation about Madonna. The Sophomores began by showing the school a reen- actment of Sean Penn, and Madon- na’s wedding. As Madonna Tracy Hairfield married Taylor Holt as Sean Penn. To celebrate after the wed- ding the bride and her bridesmaids, Stephanie O’Neil and Joana Brumley danced to “‘Like A Virgin.’’ Next the senting Amanda Voelker dancing to a “‘Holiday.”’ The seniors incorporat- ed the Thomas Dale Knight in with their act.

Another aspect of a senior’s life is senior prom. During their junior year, the seniors had the responsibility of planning the prom. Now the seniors can sit back and watch the juniors do allthe work. During senior year every senior begins thinking about their later life. As graduation ap- proaches, questions begin running through their head about how to spend their future. There are SATs to be taken and college applications to be filled out. The life of a senior, though good in some aspects, is full of many responsibilities.

From S.C.A. down to the smallest organization students put in many hours to make these clubs work. Students spend much of their free time at football games and basket- ball games. These are fun but also show a student’s school spirit. A stu- dent’s life revolves around school a great deal. Also showing a student’s school spirit are the pep rallies. The students gather together to cheer for the various school teams. The classes compete against each other for spirit points. These pep rallies are a fun part of school. A time of relief where the students can get to- gether and enjoy cheering their team to victory is the sixth period time for pep rallys. Many other students spend their spare time working. People like the feel of having money in their pocket so students put in many hours at lo- cal businesses and fast food restau- rants. These long hours are putin by some in the hope of buying the car that the student wanted for so long. Students throughout their school days face many responsibilities but also manage to have fun while work- ing.

Such movies as Back to the Future and Rambo were well-liked by many students. These movies brought rave reviews from those who spent their evenings at the theater. Many movies were based on the topic of Working busily in physics, these seniors have better things on their minds like the Friday night game and aftergame activities. futuristic science. Not only Back to the Future but the movie Weird Sci- ence was based on a futuristic as- pect. In addition to movies many con- certs were also enjoyed by Thomas Dale students. In Washington, Bruce Springsteen performed in front of many of his cheering fans. REO Speedwagon and Madonnaalso per- formed to the pleasure of many spectators. Also during a student’s life, the pleasure of going on trips is widely known. Whether a trip to the beach or Europe traveling is always fun. A week may be spent at the beaches in Florida gaining a dark tan. While in Florida a trip to Disney World is greatly advised. A person is never too old to enjoy Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom. Besides trips to Florida trips to England and France were also enjoyed. Many students were lucky enough to see the sights of London and Paris. Even over the summer a student’s life is full of many activities. As school starts again students will still be taking part in many activities but ones of a different caliber.

Although one may think the Prom goers themselves were the most excited, that was not exactly true in this case. Members of the junior class were just as excited as the seniors. This was finally the juniors’ chance to prove themselves to the rest of the school. The lovely Bellwood Center Res- taurant was once again the site in which the Prom was held.

As seniors lined up to go through the senior figure, it was evident that most seniors had cho- sen to wear the traditional white.

The second night, the contestants wore evening gowns, presented a short speech on happiness, and a new Miss Thomas Dale was presented to the public. The night of the evening gown competition was tense. The girls all had butterflies in their stomaches, but the escorts were even more ner- vous than the girls.

Students have performed shows that range from ‘made-up productions to sell out Broadway musicals. This year, the music and drama de- partments had decided to make their own show based on the televi- sion show Fame. Unfortunately, due to emergency medical reasons, the show was cancelled. However, much time and preparation had already gone into the show. The ‘‘kids”’ were not about to give up easily, so the decision was made to put together a Braodway review, A Touch of Fame. A percentage of the proceeds were given to the Hunger Relief Program in Ethiopia. The main goal of this review was to give students experience where there was a need for stage dancing and singing. Mr. Farryl Essig wrote an outstanding script. Mr. Scott Per- kins, Mrs. Cezette Barnes, and Mrs. Harriet Schaeffer wrote and ar- ranged the music. Mr. Robbie Baker was the choreographer and made up all the dances. Mrs. Schaeffer says, “The show was a combined effort between the chorus, jazz band, or- chestra, dancers, and artists. | think it went great!”’ Looking forward to future spring plans for next year, the idea is to perform a full Broadway production. The departments are very excited to have Mr. Roman Alis with them in the drama department this year. Mrs. Schaeffer feels that Thomas Dale’s productions offer students top qual- ity training in the performing arts that is unsurpassed in the state of Virginia. A job well done, perform- ers!

Therefore, there would not be a place for the new drama director, Roman Alis, at Thomas Dale.

He had taught and performed in Boston, Colorado, Practicing for the production of Our Town, Amy Fulcher finds that memorizing lines can be a long and tedious job.

He works for the ABC Televi- sion Network and has participated in these various roles: Limestreet with Robert Wagner and Mirror Images with the British Broadcasting Sys- tem. He is also directing this year’s fall drama production, Our Town. Dramatic theatre is used to enter- tain and convey various points of views to stimulate reactions from the audiences. Mr. Alis has a special way of teaching students the correct procedures in acting. First, one on one, he takes an individual in a small room and reads over the lines out loud to make the student aware of the meaning of the lines. Once they are understood, the individual reads it as if the scene really is occurring and eventually builds up to their ex- pectations. Mr. Alis’ goals this year with the Thomas Dale actors and ac- tresses are to find motivation in all the scenes, to locate the obstacles and to find the resolution of every plot. If you think it is a rumor that stu- dents at Thomas Dale are participat- ing in a movie that Mr. Alis is involved with, well, it is not. Mr. Alis is filming a movie, Home Front, in Virginia and this movie will be premiering next summer. Eight students from Thom- as Dale are participating in the film.

Drama 43 Friends Gather from All Over his 1985-’86 school year, we are honored to have four ‘‘special’’ students. To- meko Takei is a foreign ex- change student from Japan. She lives near Tokyo. She is staying with Dawn and Wayne Ozmore. She is eighteen years old and has not graduated yet. So, when she goes back to Japan, she will go back to school to graduate. In Japan she goes to a public school with nine hundred girls attending it. All of her friends will have already graduated. She has made some real good companions and they are getting her interested in extracurricular activi- ties. She loves sports and enjoys track and field and tennis. She also enjoys art. She likes drawing and oil painting. She loves it here, but misses home very much. Anne Muhle, from West Germany is visiting us here. She is not with a student, butis staying with her Aunt, Mrs. Rothaar. In Germany she at- tends Gymnasium School and is a senior. English is a required course Studying hard for her classes, Tomoko Takei listens attentively to instructions. ED Spending her time studying, Anne Muhle finds the end product rewarding. 44 Special Students in Germany, but she is still having difficulty with the language. Don’t worry! She is reassured by her friends who help her out. Another foreign exchange student is lsolda Rodrequez from the capital of Madrid, Spain. She is staying with Amy and Sarah Puryear. She went to a private boarding school in Spain not far from her home. She is going to T.D.H.S. to enrich her skills in Eng- lish. English is also a required course there. She loves horseback riding and skiing. She is an outstanding solo pianist. She loves T.V. here because there they only have two channels and here we have such a big variety. She didn’t know what to think about cheerleaders at first, because in Spain they don’t have them. She loves attending Thomas Dale and is not extremely homesick. Another special student is Jenni- fer Lim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hsing Wu of Chester. She is the youngest freshman in our school. She is just like any normal eleven year old, but just a little differentina few ways. At nine years old, Jennifer had an IQ of 150. She skipped three grades in twelve months. She has successfully completed Algebra Ill, Geometry and Trigonometry with very high compliments from her math professor at Harvard Universi- ty. This year, she is studying Pre-Cal- culus. Although Jennifer has such a high academic achievement level, that does not take away her playtime. She enjoys her family and does ev- erything any eleven year old would do. Jennifer is grateful to everyone who has helped her work toward her academic goals. Thomas Dale High School is glad you ‘‘Special Students” can be with us. We hope you are as delighted to be with us as we are with you! Getting help in a foreign language, Mr. Seal explains to Jennifer Lin how the conjugation of verbs is important.

Special Students 45 46 Academic Divider Thomas Dales he new attitude to- wards learning is to strive to achieve the most possible. Time on task is part of this new attitude. This new atti- tude pushes learning to a new high: throughout the school there are many exam- ples of a ‘“‘new attitude.” Many students decided to strive for their best by taking a seventh period. Students who found that they could not fit every class they want- ed into a six-period schedule took advantage of the op- tional seventh period. This seventh period proves bene- ficial towards the grades of many students; having an extra class adds to a stu- dent’s grade point average. The grade point average, many students are given an extra push just by hearing it mentioned. The top stu- dents of the classes strive for the highest grade point average that they can ob- Academic Excellence at lain. This shows the new at- ‘iude of the student who oush themselves to do well. Another incentive to many students is the new awards Irogram for academic achievement. Letters and 9ins are received by stu- dents maintaining a certain grade point average. Receiv- ng one of these awards is a mark of prestige in academ- cs. The administration felt that having such an awards orogram was long overdue up to this point there has been no reward for achiev- ing excellence in learning. The students who excelled in academics have long been watching the athletes re- ceive their letters while they receive no reward for study- ing hard. Honor societies also pro- vide another incentive for students to achieve high grades. Honor societies ex- ist for languages and other areas. The French Honor So- ciety and Spanish Honor So- ciety are there for the stu- dents who excel greatly in learning a language. The stu- dents’ long, hard work is recognized by being chosen to be a member of the honor society. There also exists the National Honor Society for those who reach a high summit in learning overall. Throughout all of their classes, the students cho- sen to be members of the National Honor Society its Best maintain good grades. Throughout the area of academics, students are facing new ideas and con- cepts. Students are pushing themsleves harder to get more accomplished. These attiudes will prove to pay off when the students face the real world. Playing a game of Simon Says, the department heads do exactly as they are told. Academic Divider 47 Experienced Meets Novices Thomas Dale’s faculty is made up of many fine teachers. Our staff consists of teachers just out of college as well as staff members with many years’ exper- ience. The finest teaching seems to be brought on by combining old and new ideas. Some- times the old ways may be the best, but new ideas can often spice up the old. The students of Thomas Dale are known for their 48 Faculty above average scores on apptitude tests. The students themselves achieve the scores, but the teachers should re- ceive part of the glo- ry. Without the back- ground of good teaching, the Thom- as Dale students could not achieve their high scores in academics.

Bird, but when Bird High School was built, Thomas Dale’s enrollment dropped which forced Dale back into the AA divi- sion. All the schools which’ currently make up the AA divi- sion except Thomas Dale and Matoaca are considered large enough to go AAA and that is what they intend on doing. When Dale and Ma- toaca heard of these schools’ decisions to go to another divi- sion they also had to make a decision. 50 Faculty — Adams — The decision con- sisted of either re- maining an AA divi- sion school traveling quite along distance to compete with oth- er schools in that di- vision or going AAA and traveling around the tri-cities. Thom- as Dale has chosen to take the big step and go AAA. AIl- though the schools that Dale will be competing against are quite a bit larger, the coaches feel that Dale will be able to be competative. The schools T.D. will be competing against in the 86-87 school year are Prince George, Pe- tersburg, Marshall- Walker, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, and L.C. Bird.

Tasks they Hate ne thing that most students dread is a large amount of homework. Teach- ers must have a grudge against stu- dents. “If they only knew what it was like to have to sit at home working on school work, they would not assign so many things to do.”’ For the informa- tion of the general student body, teach- ers do have home- work, too. Almost every night, teach- ers drag home large tote bags overflow- ing with tests and worksheets which need to be graded. While teachers are watching Guiding Light and the A- Team, a red pen is having a battle with students’ papers. Just think, for every test that a student takes, there are ap- proximately twenty- five that had to be made up and twenty- five that have to be graded by the teach- er (unless the teach- er has an aide who helps mark the pa- pers.) Grading tests can become very boring. If the test is objective, the teach- er sees the same an- swer over and over again. Math tests are very different, though. The teacher has to decide what can be considered correct or if partial credit can be given for work that is shown. Teachers definite- ly have homework just like the students whom they teach. So remember that when students are com- plaining about the large amounts of homework, teachers have to do it too.

The teaching profession has come along way from the one room school house. Educators to- day are barraged with expectations from their responsi- bilities in the class- room to the de- mands from parents, administrators and superintendents. Each educator be- sides fulfilling goals and standards for their job must also fulfill responsibil- ities for themselves and their families. Sometimes the weight of fulfilling these demands be- comes more than any teacher can sup- port. Therefore, they look to other meth- ods to sustain them- selves.

However other educators (continued to p. 61) In a special class, Mrs. Schaeffer gives instruc- tions on using keyboards.

Sponsor Survival hroughout the years at Thomas Dale many c lubs and organiza- tions have pros- pered. These clubs would not be the success they are to- day without the aid of teacher sponsors. The sponsors guide the student organi- zations in many fac- ets. Through these organizations, stu- dents learn how to get along with one another which is a valuable skill in the working world. If fundraising ac- tivities are planned, sponsors must often meet with salesmen and company repre- sentatives for the items to be sold. Al- ways, sponsors are accountable for the bottom line financial situations in which their organizations find themselves. Sponsors must 62 Faculty — Mann — Montijo also be present at meetings to keep things running smoothly. Anyone who has ever been present at a large student planning meeting knows that this is sometimes no small task. Teachers who sponsor publica- tions or clubs re- sponsible for home- coming or major dances such as the prom really put in large amounts of after school time. Even though spon- soring an organiza- tino is a worthwhile experience and most teachers are not sorry they have participated in ex- tracurricular activi- ties, the burnout time for a sponsor is about two and one half years. This bur- nout time is evaluat- ed on the amount of pressure over the amount of hours a sponsor can give up over a period of time. It is plain to see that any sponsor that has survived more than two years clearly must love what they do. There- fore, dedication is the key to survival in this business.

William Thomas, Our assis- tant prin- cipal, is one person that many people don’t really get to know. After talking to him, one learns that he enjoys work- ing with the students and developing a working relationship with them. The only thing he doesn’t like about his job is not getting to know a lot of the students bet- ter instead of just knowing them by face only. Mr. Thomas has been at Thomas Dale for about five years and came here from Meadowbrook High School. He received his Bachelor’s De- gree from the Uni- versity of Richmond After grading half of her papers, Mrs. Curry looks up exhausted. and his Master’s De- gree in School Ad- ministration from the College of William and Mary. Mr. Thomas is a very philosophical person. His basic philisophy is, ‘“Never get into a butting contest with a steamroller. Man learns to do one of two things; one is to learn to drive the steamroller and the other is to learn to stay out of its way. You can do both, but not at the same time.

In addition to responsibility that must be maintained, sponsors are ex- pected to give their club or organization moral support, and that is exactly what Mr. Ridout and Mrs. Sloan have done. As sponsors of the Senior class, Mrs. Sloan and Mr. Ridout have done an out- standing job. The two sponsors do their best to stand behind the class and give them the little boost they need to keep going. Both Mr. Ridout and Mrs. Sloan are Government teach- ers and this is good because they come in contact with more seniors than any oth- er teacher. This en- ables them to under- stand what the stu- dents want, which in turn makes the class as a whole a little stronger. The senior class thanks them for their help and support.

SAT’S are taken at the end of the junior year and the beginning of the senior year. This test tests a student’s overall knowledge. There are many dif- ferent parts to the test. Of course there is math and reading, but lately a new part has been added to the test. The new ad- dition is a part for an essay.

The Big Day Oo an under- classman, June 11, 1986 may seem like any other day, but to the class of ’86 this will be the day they have been waiting for for four long years. When asked what they think the day will be like, most seniors had about the same opinion. First they think they will be exhausted from not sleeping the night before. They said they will be so excited be- cause this is a day they have been wait- ing for for a long time. Next, they said they will be nervous. The nervousness was said to come from the fact that they will be going on their own, and for Michelle Lanette Henderson. John Edward Hendrick, Jr. most this will be the first time they would be going away from home for an ex- tended amount of time. A group of girls said they would be nervous because they would be scared they might trip while receiving their diploma. Lastly, they said they would be sad because this will be the last day they will be with their close friends with whom they have gone to school for many years. As we all know this will be a very memorable day for the class of 86 and we wish them the best of luck in the future.

Some of the seniors thought their lack of unity was because they never had to come together as a class before. But when they went to Thomas Dale every- thing was class ori- ented. Kim Tellis seems to be swooped off her feet by this Knight. As they went from freshmen to sopho- mores, the class still was not as unified as the other classes. Al- though this was true they were definitely trying. During pep rallies, they were putting forth more effort than they had in the previous year, but it was still not quite up to par. To- ward the end of their sophomore year, the class really began to come together be- cause they knew the next year they would have to give the prom. As juniors, the class did well. Al- though the prom was not all they had wanted it to be, they were satisfied be- cause they knew they had at last shown the rest of the school they were to- gether as a class. Now in their senior year, the class has made a dynamic im- provement. They are more unified then they’ve ever been and they are happier because although, they may not have been the ideal class, they are confident they will not be for- gotten.

Passing these guys in the halls may tend to intimidate people not only be- cause they are quite tall and rather large, 84 Seniors — Moore — Napoliello but also because they are seniors. Al- though these guys are larger than other guys, they are as nice and just as nor- mal as everyone else. Football is an important part in their lives, but school also plays a significant role. Con- trary to what one may think, these guys don’t look at school as being im- portant just because they have to keep their grades up to play ball. They look at school as some- thing important be- cause it may help them in their later lives. In fact, Craig was among the list of seniors who were on the Honor Roll after the first nine weeks and he in- tends on attending college after high school. Though they have the role as the tough guys on the football field, Craig, Shan- non, and Eric have shown us all that football players may be rough and mean, buy they are also just as normal and gentle as everyone else.

One look might indicate that she is an ordinary young lady. Howev- er, a second look makes the observer realize that this young lady has depth and class be- yond her years. Aca- demically, Wendy is ranked in the top ten of the senior class, with a grade point average of 3.9. Hav- ing such a high grade point average she has been able to gain admittance to the National Honor Society. She is also enrolled in honors classes and ad- vanced placement English. However, besides her intense aca- demic involvement she spends her time giving service to her friends and school. This involvement in- cludes the Keyettes, National Honor Soci- ety, Spanish Honor Society, and the Cal- culus club. She has A Lady of Class and Depth also been a member of the track team, ecology club, pep club, varsity club and a cheerleader for four years. But the high of all of this activity was when she became Home- coming Queen for 1985. This honor that Wendy received was no accident. Her friends and teachers will clearly indicate that Wendy is a well liked, friendly and in- telligent young lady with unlimited po- tential.

Road to success ust when the senior class thought all the work was gone, they real- iz ed it had really just begun. They still had those dreadful col- lege applications to fill out. First, they had to decide what college they wanted to apply to, and then they had to get the applica- tions. After the appli- cations were in their possession, that was when the work began. After filling out one application, a person might begin to think that the only thing that had to be done was fill out your name, and sign- ing on the designat- ed line. However, most applications an essay was required. The essay may range from explain- ing a little about yourself to explain- ing why you want to attend that specific college. It was fine if only one out of three colleges have an es- say on the applica- tion, but if every col- lege to which the student was apply- ing had one, it could really become dis- couraging. After the applica- tion had been com- pleted a fee of as much as $30.00 had to be placed in the envelope to be mailed with the ap- plication. Once it was mailed, the ap- plicant must wait to hear from the col- lege. Sometimes waiting could be the worst part because of f ear of rejection, but at least the appli- cant knows he had tried. A carefully planned col- lege application could be the road to success.

The class council ac- complished a con- siderable amount of work and for that, this year the junior class started out strong. In the fall, the juniors sold mag- azines. The juniors made a large profit but fell short of the amount of maney needed for the prom. Much of the money to fill the dif- ference comes from dues and their fun- draisers. The juniors sponsored two sock-hops in the fall after home football games. These sock- hops generated large amounts of money and the ju- niors hope to hold another during bas- ketball season. An idea that has come up in meetings is Prom-Aid. Many bands have suggest- ed the idea to the council.

This year three juniors have played a large role in the Student Council. Christine Wormack, is the Secretary; she records the meet- ings’ happenings and takes the roll. The treasurer, Matt Porter, obviously takes care of money that is raised by the SCA. The Vice-Presi- dent is Jamie Woo- lard who assists the President, Bar Palm- er, in making deci- sions. They all helped in setting up for the Homecoming dance, financing Homecom- ing week, and orga- nizing the Home- coming parade dur- 96 Juniors — Francis — Harris ing Homecoming week. The theme was ‘‘Knight at the Movies.”’ Another event that required the unity of the officers was the Miss Thomas Dale peagant. The SCA was required to send out forms to differ- ent clubs, and to col- lect money from the different clubs. Also this fall, the SCA sponsored a contest where money was raised for the Christ- mas Mother’s fund. All in all, running the SCA requires dedication and the cooperation of all the SCA officers. These three juniors have helped in run- ning a dedicated or- ganization. Sitting in his French class, Matt Porter practices his pronunciation.

As stated in the dogma of the So- viet Union, to be a true communist, you have to believe in the state and not in God.

Just hearing the word PSAT puts fear in many juniors’ hearts. Visions of two hours long in a testing situation, scores that are low- er than desired, and the reality that col- lege is getting nearer and nearer can emotionally and intellectually drain the student before they even walk into the test-taking room.

Mr. Marshall also helped to alleviate the fears of college as she explained how the PSAT scores were used in the selection pro- cess. By the end of this school year, many juniors hope to have taken the SAT test at least once. This test is similar to the PSAT but is a little longer and a little harder. Are all these tests worth it? To many students the answer is yes! Each student realizes that the tests are necessary in order to enter col- lege, but many are not sure that the tests are a measure- ment of what they are suppose to know.

As many juniors have found out though, a great deal of responsibility comes with that li- cense. When driving, oth- er people’s lives are in the hands of the driver. A young per- son must not throw caution to the wind, but always be on the alert for danger. A responsible driver must make sure their friends drive wisely and that they do not drive at allif they are drunk. There are many benefits that go along with getting your driver’s li- cense. A person gains his or her inde- pendence when they can obtain their li- cense.

Our Townis a drama about the iro- ny of life and the changes people go through in a small town. The play is full of interesting char- acters; including Emily and George, who are forced into marriage, and Simon Stimpson, who is the town drunk. All the characters in the play portrayed dif- ferent aspects of the irony of life. The per- formers did an ex- cellent job in bring- ing out their charac- ter to the fullest. The performers have all been recog- nized for doing such a good job. Sopho- more Rachel McCal- lister, though, was not seen during the play, yet she puta lot of effort into the pro- duction of Our Town. Rachel became stage manager in August and worked through November to help make Our Towna success. She also rehearsed with the actors, helping to develop each character. Rachel feels that stage man- aging the play was one of the best ex- periences of her life. She is looking for- ward to stage man- aging the next play, You Can’t Take it with You, which is a comedy.

During the first month or so of school, all the soph- omores had P.E. and no health classes. Each class began with twelve minutes of aerobics, which produced a lot of 122 Sophomores — Taylor — Whatley grumbling.

In the mornings, while waiting for the bus, one would feel the stifelingness of the air. As students walked into the school and up the stairs, the air would part. Walking down the hall was increas- ingly difficult, the thick air resisted any movement. If a stu- dent was lucky, he might have received a much needed breeze now and then. On some days the temperature be- came so unbearable that the hottest classrooms, which were usually up- stairs, were moved into air conditioned areas such as the li- brary and music rooms. Teachers and students had to attempt to convert sections of the li- brary into class- rooms. Students had to filter out what their teachers were saying from the noise in the room when two fans were blowing.Several days in the after- noon it even became so hot that school was closed an hour earlier, to the relief of many students. This hot warm weather did not sub- side until the middle of October. When the cooler weather finally came here to stay in December, it was a welcome res- pite from the swel- tering heat.

On the first day of school, these stu- dents, full of anxi- ety, roam the halls searching for their classrooms. For freshmen, however, the year holds many opportunities to take advantage of. Freshmen, however notorious for not joining clubs, do par- ticipate in many sports and clubs. Many freshmen took advantage of the opportunity giv- en to them in Home- coming. The fresh- men class entered a float which was well done and was popu- lar with the crowd. Although at first mi- nor problems ap- peared, towards the end, the class pulled together to produce a successful float. Later on in the year, the freshmen class had many contes- tants in the Miss T.D. contest. Nominated by various organiza- tions the girls did a tremendous job re- presenting their class. Some of the girls were Catherine Back and Melissa Fulcher. When Christmas Show rolled around, a large number of freshmen took part, not only in the cho- rus but also in danc- ing, playing charac- ters, and playing in- struments in the band or orchestra. The freshmen helped make the Christmas Show a success including the re-run held in January. Along with extra- curricular activities, Amy Goldenberg Susan Goodman Patricia Goodwin Pamela Greenwood James Grow Aaron Grubb Brian Haddock Teresa Hall 132 Freshmen — Goldenberg — Hall students face harder academics. Subjects are harder in high school, requiring larger amounts of homework to main- tain good grades. Freshmen, as they enter their high school career face a larger degree of re- sponsibility. Stu- dents must take charge and make up work on their own. While before, in mid- dle school, teachers often helped in this area. As the year pro- gresses, freshmen become accus- tomed to the riga- marole of the school year. Students are less apprehensive about tests and are able to stay ina groove with study- ing.

Braces come in many shapes. Some are geometrically intrin- sic designs, which make for excellent conversation pieces. As for yup- pies, they purchase clear plastic braces which are supposed- ly hard to detect, yet turn green after awhile. Others are metal bands that en- circle the tooth with a gadget to hold wires and rubber bands. Alas, the ma- jority of teenagers have a simple brack- et on the tooth. These, however bor- ing, work just as well as others. To begin with, the orthodontist takes an impression of the teeth. The assistant slops a glob of putty into your mouth and you bite into it. For the next few days, no matter what you do, there still re- mains some rubbery glop left in between your teeth. Next the orthodontist pours cement on your teeth an d puts the bracket on your teeth. Through the two hour procedure he is constantly talk- ing to you about your school work or hob- bies. After the braces are installed, it is not unusual for sores to appear on the inside of the mouth. These are painful and often ooze for only a few days. 142 Freshmen — Reisser — Slate For some people, braces entails the use of different tools. Some use a cumbersome, ugly headgear.

There are al- ways electives open to stu- dents at Thomas Dale from typing to art to accounting, that may lessen the stu- dent’s load by adding some- thing he enjoys. Fortunately, some students are so dedi- cated to their musical abili- ties that they somehow fit their band class in with their hard academic schedule. The Concert band is made up of many dedicated musi- cians who take their music very seriously. They are working up to the Symphon- ic band or possibly the Jazz band if they play a brass in- strument, percussions or electric guitar. The Sym- phonic band plays more on the line of classics and the Jazz band performs classi- cal jazz and modern tunes. The sound of these three are very different, but all result in the same thing — an ex- cellent performance by some of the top high school students in the county. Thomas Dale is very proud of our outstanding musicians.

She was assist- ed by three co-captains: Te- resa Williams, Michele Clark and Martina Allen. These four females molded the squad’s talents and perfect- ed the routines that they per- formed. The auxilary instructor, Robbie Baker, choreo- graphed the award winning show. Starting in the early summer, Robbie and the four captains taught the routines to the members of the squad. Maintaining in spot on the flag team requires much concentration and dedica- tion. The team spends many hours practicing and think- ing of new routines to per- form. The T.D. flag team is a highly skilled dedicated squad which is obvious with their award winning season. Good job, ladies! Lined up for their next parade, the rifle team awaits for their signal.

Leading the very illustrious and talented band of nearly one-hundred members were the drum majors, Scott Bar- bour, Vernell Williamson, and Julanne Herndon. These drum majors led the band to a winning season. Also, the captains of the individual squads guided their mem- bers with such skill to attain an almost flawless season. Among the individual squad captains were Dawn Dorr, head of the flags, Shelly Crosby, head of the major- ettes, Brian Braswell, head of percussion and finally Kristie Fisher, the rifle cap- tain. The band, this year, had a very occupied and busy sea- son.

In these competitions the band won many first place awards in the various squads. Among the competi- tions attended by the band were the Churchland Invita- tional, The Virginia State Fair, and the Edenton Pea- nut Festival in North Caroli- na. The band won numerous awards in the auxiliarly squads, which had a nearly undefeated season. Above all, this year the band performed exception- ally well at football games, concerts, competitions, and pep rallies. Working with a diverse cross-section of stu- dents, the sponsor, Mr. Per- kins, should be commended for producing a such an amazing season.

Unlike our other athletes whose sea- sons lasts for two months, a cheerleader’s season lasts from mid-summer to Febru- ary. The season begins with vi- gorous practices every Mon- day and Wednesday after school closes for the sum- mer. Near the end of the summer the girls attend a summer camp to learn new cheers and ways to promote school spirit. The cheerlead- ing camps are hard work and very competitive so when While walking through the halls, Anna Atkinson and Donna Thomas talk about the victory against Bird. Passing through the guidance of- fice, Kelly Thompson stops to glance through a folder on ODU. 194 the squads bring home their many awards and ribbons they have something to be proud of. When the girls return to school for the new school year they try to promote school spirit by having pep rallies which they must orga- nize themselves. The pep rallies are not always as ex- citing as the girls want them to be, but the cheerleaders do try and that is what mat- ters.

Mrs. Schaeffer, the chorus teacher enjoys teaching her classes. She helps the students improve their singing by introducing them to new songs and of course listening to them sing, as a whole and as indi- viduals. The chorus along with the other music depart- ments put on two shows a year. One of the shows is mandatory for the chorus students because they re- ceive a grade on how they sing. Besides these two shows many of the students are in the musical, which is Waiting for their part, these chorus members watch Mrs. Schaeffer. 196 Organizations — Chorus usually put on every spring.

Each category of music acts as a separate group in competition; how- ever, when show time ar- rives each group — orches- tra, chorus, and band join to- gether to produce a major production that is a show- sto pper regardless of who views it. The orchestra is directed by Mrs. Barnes who comes to T.D. one period a day. She also teaches at other schools in the area. Her ma- jor emphasis in orchestra is the love for music and the time necessary to produce quality music. Some of her students have been taking Sheri Alexander, Tammy Shreves, and Martina Allen show their style in one of the Christmas show’s dances. lessons since grade school. They have competed on re- gional and state levels. Re- cently the orchestra com- peted in the All County Or- chestra and Central Regionals. Mrs. Barnes also works closely with the cho- rus to provide quality music for the christmas and spring show. This year the chorus has been preparing for the pro- duction of MY FAIR LADY. This production began in February for those involved. Each member of the chorus must try out for the various parts. This is done in con- junction with the drama de- partment. After the parts have been cast, the long hours of work began both in class and after school. Each student is aware of the amount of work required to produce a major production, but by this time and effort seems to be disreguarded when the night of perfor- mance comes. Therefore, the final hours of joy and excitement came in May when each member of the cast displayed their tal- ent.

Organizations — DECA 207 Organized Chaos eing on the Reflec- tor Staff can be fun at times. Like, helping with the photographer that shot the pictures that were done this summer. There were three sessions that were done dur- ing the summer. The under- classmen pictures were tak- en on the Wednesday before school started. That was an unusual day. One minute we were working hard and the next minute we were bored to death. The Friday and Sat- urday of the same week were set aside for senior photographs. There were few staff members bored on these two days. Each senior had the option of going through six different scenes and changing clothes each time.

Dead- lines often coincide with oth- er school work, causing things to be handed in a day or two late. When it comes to meetings, it is very hard to get everyone together be- cause of seventh period classes. Everyone puts their own free time into the yearbook for it to come out as well as it does. There are some real fun times being a part of the Reflector staff. Even though there are the problems, the work still gets done. It feels good to be a part of such a big accomplishment. pe Julie Mobley and Ms. Moore go over the most recent copy assignments so they can be handed out. Relief was the word to describe Toni Gregory after the Final Dead- line was met. Photographer Kendra Higgins takes time out to rest after a busy day.

Reflector Staff 209 Ss many people have noticed, there have been more than subtle changes in Chester. New streets, and even whole new neighborhoods have been popping up out of nowhere. More students pour into the hallways at Thomas Dale. New businesses start up as old businesses fade out of Community sight. Amongst all this change, though, the small community spirit still prevails. Neigh- bors join together for fun and protection. Neighbor- hood yard sales and gather- ings are common. Neighbors also ban together to form neighborhood watches. Teenagers gather at street corners or in a place of business, to talk to friends or to plan activities for the weekend. During the summer, hordes of kids who were in different Thomas Dale organizations would drive up and down Chester streets looking for busin- esses that would buy an ad _ for their groups. The teen- agers with their licenses would have the privilege of Spirit Still Prevails driving some of the other kids who were less fortu- nate. Even so, there was a lot of pounding the pave- ments. This growth is also evident in Thomas Dale. Classes have increased in size. Be- tween classes, it is even more difficult to get through the intersection. There has even been an extra lunch added to accommodate all the students. Beneficial to students, there has been an increase in businesses, giving job hunting teenagers a little ex- tra pocket money. Amongst all this growth, though, there are some dis- advantages. More and more of the fields and woods which used to be every- where, are disappearing. As Chester grows and changes daily, the people change also. The atmo- sphere still remains the same, friendly and hospita- ble.

President Reagan and Miguel Gorbechev made good attempts at peace talks. Tragedy in Space n January the twenty eighth, the historic flight of the space shuttle Challenger exploded less than one minute into its orbit. Aboard the shuttle was a teacher, Christa McAuliffe from Concord, New Hampshire. She was se- lected from ten thousand entries, all the en- trants wishing to be the one who would go up into space. Throughout the weeks after the explosion, NASA crews searched the shore and ocean for pieces of the shuttle. Studying the fragments of the shuttle and computer data taken from the shuttle, NASA Officials attempted to determine the cause of accident. Some of the reasons offered for the explo- sion were faulty seams in the booster rock- ets, freeze-thaw cycles causing cracks, and One of the few recognizable pieces of the Challenger that was found was a twisted rocket booster. also due to the cold, icicles could have formed and damaged fuel tanks. The final consensus was faulty O-rings. Under review of a Presidential Commission it was discov- ered that the problem of O-rings was known before the launch and discussed internally. Due to the pressure to launch the shuttle from NASA, the problem was dismissed and the tragedy ensued. The seven astronauts that died in space, died for a cause in which they believed. As Judith Resnick said ‘‘achieving the goal is worth the risk.”’ Though the astronauts of mission 51-L died, they will live forever in the memories and hearts of many. SMOKING OR.

New governor, Gerald Baliles, spent Republican John Chichester, who became a Virginia many hours on the campaign trail. state senator eight years ago, also ran for governor. es Ny Mrs. Robb gives former Governor Lieutenant Governor Douglas Wilder sifts through some Charles Robb a last minute check of the letters stacked on his desk. before he faces the public. 232 Community Democratic Goals his year’s governors race in Virgin- ia featured two candidates. Run- ning for the Republicans was Wyatt Durette. The Democratic party, which captured the election, had a historical group of running mates. Gerald Baliles ran for Governor, Mary Sue Terry ran for Attor- ney General and Douglas Wilder ran for Lieu- tenant Governor. This party contained the first women and black to run together for office in Virginia. Getting to work soon after the election, the Democratic party went to work lobbying for various pieces of legislation. One piece of legislature which has been repeatedly de- feated in the General Assembly is the bill allowing the state to hold a lottery. Two oth- er bills that are now in the Assembly are the raising of the drinking age and a seatbelt law. The controversy over the seatbelt law was if an officer would be able to stop a driver for just not wearing his seatbelt or if police officers could cite people for not wearing seatbelts only if they were pulled over for another violation. Governor Baliles and former Governor Charles Robb chat with actor Paul Newman during a fund raising din- ner. Even though Governor Baliles tried to put the yearbook under the Procurement Act, Bill 353 won out. gerne NR ROBE NOI £ Ria. Disposal of leftover campaign but- tons is one of the challenging prob- lems that Governor Baliles faced after his election.

It’s been a year of tragedy, a year of hope, and a year of new ideas. For ev- eryone who has created these ideas and car- ried them out, they deserve a great deal of thanks. It was not only the Reflector staff who put these new ideas together. These poeple include Donald Logan, our computer expert; Mr. Essig, who designed the cover; Mike Smith, our book representative; and our photographer, Doug White. Another group of people who deserve some of the credit is the administration. Next, a group that needs a great deal of thanks is the facul- ty who sometimes excused staff members during their classes so we could meet a deadline. Parents, you too, get thanks for understanding the many long hours put into making this book a reality. The final, and greatest thanks goes to Joyce Fitzgerald and Carol Moore, our sponsors who spent their personal hours working on the Reflec- tor. In closing, a great big thanks to every person who helped support this book. | i YON NY J LNetl ovo! Vonted Con © Say to you? T+ nas beep : It evesh Wg Lrowihq G _ Us! AND Ue brow UL OING t’s the end of the year and everyone, no matter who they are, is going one way. Every student at TD is going through the changes that come with growing up. All students are striving to find their places in society. Whether a student chooses college, marriage, a career right out of high school or a combination of many elements, hard choices must be made. Although each person is essentially on his own in choos- ing, every person can find some comfort in knowing that every other person has these same difficult decisions to make as he makes the transition from high school student to decision-making adult. Thomas Dale is an institution that guides students in mak- ing wise decisions. In addition to guiding, this school also offers students the skills to enlarge their number of possible options after graduation, whatever direction they plan for their lives to take. So come on, get involved in making your future plans, don’t let circumstances decide for you. It’s not a one way trip, graduation; it’s a way out. a Pe lay EQN, Oe) seer e jae “U) ca OY the Gite!)
