Ernie Fletcher was the only Senior, joined by Bill Deyarmond and Dick Webster, Ju- niors. Freshmen Mike Morey and Randy Camp rounded out the squad. Webster was the team captain and Morey was voted MVP, having a low score of 39. Camp was voted most improved. As the season progressed, the team got better, and on the last match of the year, they had a team low of 197. 1979 GOLF SCHEDULE Maple Valley Saranac Central Montcalm Carson City Portland Lakeview Montabella 3 Mighty Wolverines Show Their Stuff In a tense, exciting game, the '79 Wolves won their first contest since the ’76 season. Led by Quarterback Larry Majeski, who was rated 5th in the area’s passing department, the Wolves overpowered the Johannesburg Lewiston Cardinals in a close 6-0 battle. Al- though the wolves had talent, with 2 players in the top 4 receivers of the area, they ended the season with a dismal 1-7 record. Awards going to Coach Decker’s players were Most Valuable — Don Marshall, Most Improved — Curt Scramlin, and Most Spirit- ed — John Burgess. 6 Row I: Harry McClellan. Randy Jenison. Don Marshall.

FOOTBALL — BASKETBALL The Junior Wolves improved their win- less record of last year by two games, this season as they stormed by Carson City-Crystal 27-0 and won by forfeit over Baldwin. After three years of hard work and no results, it looks like Coach Mike Miller’s Wolves are going to be winners in the 80-81 rounds as many hard hitting J.V.'s will be going to the Varsity squad. Under the direction of Gary Lesky, the 1979 J.V. girls basketball team finished with a record of 6-12. It was a hard work- ing squad with the sophomores leading the way. They were evenly balanced and had lots of hustle and scrappiness. 'VIBU0 WMTCS1NES WOLVERINES WOLVERINES ip VERINES wolverine tf)l.VEWNES J.V. Football Team: Row I: Ed Kindle.

Tuesday was good old SCs Day. The teachers had a good showing as Mr. D. Palmer and Mr. Kidwell wore their battered jeans, leather jackets and greased their hair. Suzanne Holmes and Lisa Peasley were real 50's gals. Wednesday on Twin Day, Bruce Keyes and DuWayne Johnson as Space Ca- dets”, were two good examples. Thurs- day was the day everyone looked for- ward to ... Dress Up Day. Randy Jeni- son, Bruce Keyes and Mike Regina all wore their best dresses. Friday was Red and White Day and Anything Goes” competition. Rod Brauher was stunning in his red Fruit of the Looms”. Volley- ball Games, a cracker eating contest, the egg toss and the blind football kick highlighted the events. The Juniors came out on top with the most points.

Female Cagers Take To Hoops The 1979 varsity team began with an exciting win over Sacred Heart and end- ed with an impressive victory over Montabella. In between, Dianne Wilson’s team had some ups and downs. An over- all record of 6-13 didn't tell much about the season. The girls were complement- ed by many officials and coaches for the hustle they showed on the floor. The squad was a strong second half team many times but couldn’t recover from first quarter errors. Penny Snyder led with 72% at the free throw line. Heather Watson led in field goals, Michelle Workman was leading rebounder and Watson led in steals.

IS This years theme of the Queen’s Assembly was I got the music in me”. The four Queen's candi- dates portrayed the Beach Boys in a very enter- taining and memorable show. The representa- tives also did an entertaining show as they por- trayed the great country stars Dolly Parton (Brenda Frost). Barbra Mandrell (Kim Erhard) and Crystal Gale (Patti Bradley). The candi- dates did a black light routine to My Sharona”, and modeled clothes from Gittlemans to the tune of Rise”. The assembly came to an end as the girls did a great job on a dance routine to Jump Shout Boogie” by Barry Manilow. Saturday night was the Homecoming dance. Al- though it could not have been labeled a success, the people had some good times at the dance. A disc jockey from the Fox 101 played the music. ib Junior Girts-. Row I: Rolla Trayer.

POWDERPUFF — 79 In the 4th Annual Powder- puff game, last year’s de- fending champs, the sen- iors, were over-whelmed by the juniors, as they lost 24- 18. Leading scorer for the ju- niors was Heather Watson, who raced across the goal line three times. Assisting her with one touchdown was DeeAnn Wright. The seniors had a well bal- anced attack with Joanna Gates, Lori Erskin, and Mi- chelle Workman, all carry- ing the ball in for one touch- down each. Senior Girts: Row I: Penny Snyder.

Female 1 Miss Kenyon appreciated a calmer year after the 1979 break in” of a 1st year teacher. New for her was a semester teach- ing Jr. High English. Females 2 and 3 Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Chris- tensen combined their 9th grade English classes for a poetry-writing unit. Fox also added an accelerated 8th grade program, while Christensen spent several hours a week teaching Spanish to elementary children. FABULOUS FEMALES FIGHT FOR LITERACY Female 4 Mrs. Rau’s year was quite differ- ent because as you could see she wasn’t preg- nant any more. Also new to her publications class was the production of a Foxfire” like magazine which was published and sold. Probe,” similar to hangman was the name of the game for Female 5 Mrs. Tissue’s read- ing classes. She said that it was a fun way for students to improve reading skills. Skills, in general, improved this year under the influence of these five fabulous fe- males.” 18 I) Come on in and read.” invites Mrs. Tissue, as she leans against her wall of books. 2) Welcome to flight 103,” says English pilot Mrs. C. 3) Foxy's al- ways Foxy, even in Contempory Lit. 4) Randy Mor- tensen waits nervously for Miss Kenyon’s reaction. 5) So you'd like to know how you’re doing in Publi- cations ... grins Mrs. Rau. 19 I) Is this really necessary?” Mrs. Thompson seems to be saying. 2) Wolfman Jack,” Mr. Palmer, is obviously enjoy- ing his world cultures class. 3) Barney relaxes in the lounge, seeming to ponder on how to make his students miserable. 4) The kids just love my tim- ings. laughs Mrs. Sayers. 5) Miss Brokop pauses amid the litter that portrays students' pasts and their plans for the future. 20 PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE KNOWLEDGE A drug bust a VHS? You betcha! Mr. Palmer’s Government class was responsible for trying and acquitting accused drug abuser Duane Johnson in their annual trial. Palmer’s classes also did several surveys and experiments, making it an interesting year for all. Mr. Barnes, or Barney”, added no new courses this year but taught U.S. History to the Juniors, as always. Who can forget his I.D.’s and current events everyday? Some- thing else hard to forget was his student teacher Mr. Bowman. Shorthand, bookkeeping, typing ..., what have they all got in common? Well, they’re all business classes taught by Mrs. Sayers. Five minute timings and dictation taught us all speed and accuracy, but Mrs. Sayers also taught us how to make it fun. She devoted much time to being Student Council advisor ... a very demanding job that she did well. Speaking of demanding jobs, how about try- ing to help 400 students plan their future? Miss Brokop, our counselor, did a great job and we were happy to welcome her here this year. She found her first year exciting, meet- ing the students and faculty. Teachers like these, who prepare us for our futures and teach us how to learn and have fun at the same time are pretty special. 21 The halls of VHS were brightened this year by colorful, original signs advertising dances, suppers, games, and anything else imaginable, thanks to Mr. Lesky’s new Vi- sual Art class. While our eyes enjoyed these bright colors and artistic works, our ears tuned into the sounds of Mr. Uren’s band classes and choir. Along with the Sr. and Jr. bands, Mr Uren taught the 5th and 6th grade begin- ners. Something new for him this year, though, was the choir class. He said he enjoyed encouraging his singing students to use their vocal chords to the fullest. Running into less enjoyable sounds, we found Mr. Decker across the road in the industrial arts building. Sign language comes in useful over here, since you can’t hear yourself think over the planer, table saw and shaper. But the finished products are worth it. From here come coffee ta- bles, candle holders, lawn furniture, and almost anything else an ambitious student cares to try. In Decker’s new class, Con- struction Technology, several students got really ambitious and built a barn for Mr. DeShano. No easy jobl Next door to Mr. Decker’s domain, your ears get a break but your nose tends to suffer. Here, in Mr. Allen’s mechanics classes, we run into the grease, gas, and oil that some students really enjoy playing in. With a teacher like Mr. Allen, enjoying working on vehicles comes easily. With new equipment and younger students Allen found this year different and exciting. Now to the ultimate contrast. Mrs. Hug- gins’ library. No noise here. Just peace and quiet to work by. And no strange smells either. Just a pretty, plant filled room, well organized and with any kind of book you’d care to look at. Mrs. Huggins has given us a really nice place to work in and we thank her. With all these contrasts and different ac- tivities, what student couldn’t find a place to feel at home? 22 - VOCATIONAL EDUCATION EXPANDS HORIZONS I) No you can’t bake cookies in a kiln. Doug.” says Mr. Lesky with the utmost patience. 2) Mrs. Huggins beams proudly as she displays her new magazine filing system. 3) Although it’s sometimes tempting to throw those extra parts away. Mr. Allen and his student try to get it all together again. 4) Mr. Decker smiles a warning and chooses his weapons. 5) Who cares if you don’t like the song. Play it anyway.” says Mr. Uren. 23 BUILDING OUR MINDS AND BODIES 24 Pass that ball.” Jump higher.” Lift those weights.” Catch.” You’re on my team.” I can’t do it.” GR7IXOPZ I” ... Sounds like these can only be coming from one place. ... the stomping ground of Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Cummings ... the gym. These three teachers combined forces, with Wilson up front working to build a good 7th, 8th and 9th grade girls’ program as well as a coed elec- tive. Stevens took care of 7th grade health, 7th and 9th grade P.E., Health and Physical Conditioning and Ad- vanced P.E. Cummings taught 8th grade P.E. Despite the sounds of mass confusion, much learning was accom- plished in the 53 minutes of fun. Indi- vidual skills for a lifetime of physical fitness were acquired. While P.E. students worked off ex- cess pounds, resource room students, along with teachers Mr. Miller and Mr. Kidwell, chowed down on hot dogs at the special Olympics in Green- ville and Mt. Pleasant. Back in the classroom students performed mental gymnastics in an attempt to strength- en abilities in the basic skills of math, reading and English. I) Mr. Stevens, on one knee, proposes some new gym project. 2) I said no tickling, boysl’ 3) Is Mrs. Wilson demonstrating, for her eighth graders, the finer aspects of walking? 4) Resource room teacher Mr. Kidwell poses as a typical kicked out of class kidl 5) This is where I’m going to go on the senior trip, Rex, points out Mr. Miller. MAD SCIENTISTS £ MATH MAGICIANS tAVE SUM THING UP THEIR BEAKERS Ever dissected a shark? How about a calf or cat? No wonder the science classes are after lunchl Mr. Zarr, our new high school science teacher, found some very interest- ing ways to teach science. Along with dis- section came microscopic slides, land- scape planning, and a unit working with fruit flies. Mr. Pete Palmer, the other half of the science department, finished his second year at VHS. He handled the junior high science classes and also devoted much time as the wrestling coach. With the math department being cut by one third, there were no new classes, but we welcomed Mr. Beemer as our remedial math teacher. Mr. Hodges kept his same classes, and excited all the seniors with income tax, interest and percentages, something we all need to learn. Mr. Koutz had a very different year. He no longer taught high school math courses but spent his days in the mobiles with the junior high students. Important scientific and mathematical knowledge was learned from these four teachers. I) Students look on in shock as Mr. Palmer dissects a helpless little hopper. 2) A job well donel,” says Mr. Hodges with a sly grin. 3) Mr. Koutz is caught smiling after a grueling math lesson. 4) Mr. Zarr helps dissect a cat while his students are thinking, chow, chow chow!” 26 27 Administration Yearbook Student Council Office Practice Faculty Library FRESHMEN THE END . AND THE BEGINNING THOSE FEARLESS LEADERS OF OUR SCHOOL How would you like to be able to call off school, plan our vacations and decide how long summer break will last? Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, along with those jobs go some less enjoyable ones like chauffering sick kids, planning for our financial future and doing lots of paper work. The man who handles all of this is Keats Wood. Mr. Wood has been our superintendent for the past ten years. He’s had lots of help from his secre- taries Neoma Wood and Norma Narragon. Across the road is the principal’s office where Ray DeShano for the past two years has been head boss over the high school. Mr. DeShano has handed out detentions, as- signed sentences and expelled students along with scheduling classes, assemblies and get- ting to know students. You can’t be a good guy all of the time. Naomi Tubbs assists him and has been here for thirteen years, now. She spends a good deal of time training sen- iors in office practice. Sports schedules, referees, game times, tick- ets, rules are all taken care of by our athletic director, Wes Cummings. New to the faculty this year, Mr. Cummings also teaches junior high history and gym. 30 I) Norma Narragon can hardly believe what she’s seeing 2) Putting out the newsletter is one of the many duties of superintendent, Keats Wood. 3) There’s a desk here somewhere” laughs Mrs. Tubbs as she works on atten- dance figures. 4) DeShano, for once, out of the office. 5) With awe. Mr. DeShano discovers the first hall pass any- one has had all year. 6) What do you do when you have five refs for one junior high game. Mr. Cummings? 7) Oh. I just love working here. smiles Mrs. Woods. The boss is so nice. 31 I) Underclassmen staff: Kelli Hartman, Betty Hillard, Tammy Liberty, Janene Bradley, Kelly Trayer, Joelette El- der. 2) Sports staff: Annette Throop, Carla Krafft, Scott Freeman, Robin Jenison, Dan Jenison — editor. 3) Adver- tising manager — Linda Tugan, Adviser — Mrs. Rau.

The class pro- duced the 1980 Wolverine, Dawn of a Decade” despite mass confusion and chaos. Toby Archambault, our photographer, spent 90% of his time taking and de- veloping pictures. Patti Hills, our busi- ness manager spent endless hours on the phone, wrote checks and handled the money. . As yearbook editors, Joellyn Knickerbocker and Sherri Bus- man ran the show and kept us all go- ing. With words running out of their ears and indigestion from all the car- ry-in food, they saw the yearbook through to the finish. 1980 WOLVERINE ESCAPES FROM RAU’S ZOO! 33 WORKING TOWARD A BETTER EDUCATION I Library Help: Row I: Mrs. Freeman.

The Stu- dent Council has done a lot to make things better for the student body. One of their projects this year was a juke box which was purchased and placed in the cafeteria for all music lovers to use. This group also sponsored the homecoming events. Coun- cil president Suzanne Holmes was assisted by vice-president: Toby Archambault, Sec- retary: Diana Mayne, Treasurer: Lori Ers- kin. The dedication and service of Office Prac- tice and Library Aides does not go unno- ticed. Mrs. Tubbs and Mrs. Huggins have more than their share of work to do, so these helpers make life easier and more enjoyable for them. These students do not go unrewarded, however, as they receive one credit for their work. 34 1) Student Council: Row I: Robin Woodard. Candy Stacy, Kathy Showers. Wendy Walker. Larry Woodrow.

The freshman class ... working hard and coming on strong. They started the year with their float win- ning 2nd place at the Home- coming. The class was re- presented by Kim Erhard. Later in the year they went on for a 1-13 boys’ basketball record. Ed Kindlle and Lori Majeski ran for King and Queen at the 1980 carnival. Lori was excited as she was crowned Queen. Also in the carnival they had a booth called Star Wars,” bring- ing in earnings for their clas. The freshmen are very ac- tive students and usually make it far in what they set out to do. This was also thanks to the help of their sponsors, Miss Kenyon and Miss Brokop. 36 Card.

GRADE 41 SAME PLACE • • • NEW TIME . SPIKERS HOT .. MATCHES NOT Bump, set, spike, win ...” yelled the red uniformed girls in the game-opening huddle. They then took to the court for yet another volleyball season under sec- ond year coach, Bev Kenyon. Led by senior co-captain, Rachelle John- ston, the girls were able to pull off their first match against Farwell, 15-9, but were unable to win the game, dropping the next two matches. Close games throughout the season with Beal City and Montabella still left them with an 0- 16 record. Most of their strength came from the seniors with three of the four returning as lettermen. Two year veteran Cathy Randall, a strong spiker with a tough over-hand serve, headed them up. Nan- cy Walker and Rachelle Johnston, both setters and powerful servers were in their second year and used their exper- ience well, setting the ball high and call- ing the plays. Laurie Stratton, the fourth senior, a first year player, contributed to the team with her consistent under- hand serve and good forward pass.

WIN! This year’s season was a rough one for the 1979-80 junior varsity team as they won only four games. Lack of team discipline and size were key reasons for the season losses stated first year coach Wes Cummings. Kevin Wadle, MVP, averaging 13 points per game, had a lot of help from point guard Mike Olejniczak and leading rebounder Todd Beach. A season highlight was the 23 point comeback in the Carson City game, putting the team ahead by two. Eventually the game was lost, but the team contin- ued to show improvement, winning two of their last four games. The 1980 JV volleyball team showed a lot of prom- ise for the future with their team play and strong fundamentals. Co-captain Shellie Enterline and teammate Cheryl Freeman will be back next sea- son along with several other freshmen to try and up this year’s 6-10 record. Co-captain Sherri Bus- man, along with teammate Denise Camp will move on to varsity play. 46 J.V.

Their 10-12 record said Coach Mark Stevens, was caused by a very tough league and too many tough games in a row. The Wolves were led by high scorer, 6’6” Harry McClellan, who averaged 21.3 points per game. Seniors Steve Holmes and Don Marshall backed him up underneath at the forward positions. The guard positions were ably manned by junior TCAA league first team standout, Jack Wood, and running point man, junior Scott Freeman. Juniors Matt Snyder and DuWayne Johnson will return next season as experienced seniors. Some highlights of the season were the seven point overtime win over Montabella on their court, and the two point loss to fourth ranked Saranac.

The squad was made up of three return- ing varsity cheerleaders cheerleaders Michelle Workman, Kim Grover, Heather Watson, along with two new varsity cheerleaders sophomores Brenda Frost, and Peggy Snyder. Overcoming several ups and downs was the J.V. cheerleading squad. Starting out with only three cheerleaders Kelly Kane, Trudy Horton, and Joelette Elder, the squad lost Jolette to a leg injury which left them with two. New tryouts brought new additions to the squad, freshmen Lori Majeski, Lisa Peasley, and Tonja Hagerman. Even through all the complica- tions Coach Thompson and the squad made the year a successful one. Coach Gary Lesky’s ninth grade hoopsters ended the season with a dismal 1-13 record. Bright spots includ- ed leading scorer Dave Snyder who averaged 13 points per game and leading rebounder Eric Snyder, a great asset to the team. Although they lacked height and needed to improve on defense, the team was offensively strong as they averaged 42 points per game. 50 GIRLS SHOUT IT GUYS BOUT’’ IT Ninth grade team.

Many were in- ducted in the National Honor Society, and participated in sports. They also showed their spirit by participating well during Twirp week. Greg Vaughn was nominated Twirp for the sophomore class. Oth- er participants were Keith Clark who dressed as Rocky on Idol day, Lonnie Majeski who greased his hair back for Nerd day, and Steve Hinton who wore his favorite hat on Hat day. Their float, Give Us Victory or Give Us Death,” took third place during home- coming. The float consisted of a football field and cemetery divided by a fence. The soph- omores also appreciated the help and cooperation of their sponsor Mr. Lesky and their advisors Mr. D. Palmer and Mrs. Thompson. Archambauit.

Though there was no organized girls’ track team this year, the guys utilized key re- turning tracksters. Harry McClellan, a Junior, went to State Competition and finished with a 3rd in the discus and 5th in the shot put. Coach Kendell, in his 1st year, encouraged his many inexperienced members to bet- ter themselves. The growling grapplers of V.H.S. didn't fair too well in the 79-80 season, going 2-10 against individual teams. The two victories were both against the Saranac Redskins, 42-39 and 44-36. An in-school meet gave the student body a chance to see Coach Palmer's team in action. Senior Wrestler, Tonny Russell, had an- other exceptional season as he once again went to the State finals. The rest of the Wolves had the usual problems of a small school, lacking size, Yet, they were a spir- ited group and always ready as they placed 17th out of 40 teams in the State finals.

Coach Dianne Wilson, honored as Coach of the Year” by the Morning Sun. and assisted by Cheryl Fox, had high expectations taking an experienced team with five seniors and a 9-8 record into the tourneys.

The members attended the re- gional meeting at M.C.C. and the state conven- tion at Kalmazoo. The officers attended a work- shop at Ypsilanti to improve leadership and club membership. Some of their projects were bake sales, selling of stationary, preparing and serv- ing the basketball banquet and fixing a luncheon for high school teachers during parent teachers conference. The Spanish club has been very active in this year’s activities. They saw Jose' Greco in con- cert at Grand Rapids, spent a day at CMU for foreign language day and put on a Christmas pinata party for 3rd and 4th graders. A trip to Cedar Point was the highlight of the year. Some of the funds were made by having bake sales. This year’s carnival was a new experience. Great Lakes novelties took the hassels away from teachers and students by setting up the booths and running the show. The new king and queen, Tim Bradley and Lori Majeski and prince and princess, Ike King and Robin Woodard were all a big help in earning the $4000 raised in the Space Adventure themed affair.

PROM - BANQUET 1980 seniors were invited, May 3 to climb The Stairway to the Stars,” as they enjoyed the banquet and prom traditionally presented by the junior class. They were led through a floral trellis by Maitre’d Toby Archambault and feasted from huge buffet tables filled with appetizing foods. The park atmosphere was made real by the presence of freshly cut trees which swayed to the music of West Wind. The song Killing Me Softly” was sung by Mrs. Christensen and accompanied by Miss Brokop for the entertainment during the ban- quet. A star studded salute was presented by Shel- ly Darmody. junior class president, who also received the class key from senior class president Mary Church. The speaker, Patti Hills thanked the senior class for II years of companionship and intro- duced Laurie Stratton and Annette Williams who recalled senior antics from kindergarten to the present. Following the banquet, 55 couples danced un- til I a.m. and then headed for the all-night prom party at the Sky Top Drive In. 70 STAIRWAY TO STARS’ 1) Students enjoyed the delicious dinner prepared by junior mothers. 2) Junior sponsors and teach- ers sit back, ready to dig in. 3) The stairway to the stars. 4) Taking a break from serving is Kris Bigelow. 5) Mrs. Camp and helpers work effi- ciently to keep the tables full. 71 Cairl, Ranaye Camp, Denise Carrick, Gale Clements, Tammy JUNIORS Borton.

The Junior Class was proud to be represented by Patti Bradley during the Homecoming Events. Patti was allowed to model an outfit and help put on a few skits, along with the other repre- sentatives and Queen Candi- dates.

Not only did the ’8l’er’s slave away at dinners which they put on, they were also sold as slaves to the other V.H.S. students. Each Junior that volunteered or could be caught went out into the middle of the gym where L.J. started the bidding. Ranaye Cairl sold for the highest price which was $13.50. Some of the teachers also jumped into the act and helped the class earn the $201.00, which was used well for the Prom Banquet. Chosen by the class to represent them Carnival night were Brad Showers and Phyllis Hanes. These two spent a lot of time in the attempt for the positions of Howell, Laurie Huckins, Tina Jenison, Dan Jenison, Randy Litwiller, Doug McClellan, Harry McQueen, Marty Majeski, Larry Myers, Terry Olejniczak, Sue Potter.

With the help of our devoted Advisor, and Sponsors, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Rau, Mr. Allen, and Mr. Kid- well, the Junior Class was able to get the Prom Banquet on their way. Vice President, Patti Hills had things under control as she led a group of classmates through a hard battle working on the Prom Banquet. Some of the Students that showed up to help were) Sherri Busman, Denise Camp, Scott Freeman, Danny Jenison, Randy Jenison, DuWayne Johnson, Mark Kahlo, Larry Majeski, Diana Mayne, Kel- ly Regina, and Brad Showers. Even though not many Class- mates showed up to help with decorating and cleaning up, the Prom Banquet could still be de- termined a success. Bruce Keyes set the evening rolling by giving invocation before the Banquet began. The dinner was served in a very elegant smorgasbord style with candle lit tables while beautiful piano music was played by Dan Skirvin throughout the dinner. When everyone was through, the real program began. Shelly Darmody, Pres. Patti Hills, Vice Pres., Suzanne Holmes, Brad Showers and Bruce Keyes all took part in the banquet and program. Throughout this year the Juniors showed alot of en- thusiasm and spirit but most of all they showed younger stu- dents all the pride a class can have in their school. 79 The One And Only HOG” MARSHALL ..

Even after an all night bus ride, the seniors were ready to attack the mo- ment they arrived. With a heated pool right outside their balconies the first thing was a swim and then they hit the streets, scouting for all the hot-spots. Most of the days were spent swimming and out in the sun. Except for a few people, like Jason Bradley, who spent his time in the grocery stores stocking his refrigerator with food. And of course there was the trip to Charleston one day, used to catch up on lost sleep from the night before. And who can forget the boat ride to Fort Sumter, in the rain, over choppy water, soaked to the skin. The nights were spent at the Amusement Park and at the disco. After getting sick on the roller coaster you danced your nausea off on the lighted floor at Castle Rock disco. Of course curfew did come eventually, but this was just a breather. After Wilson and Mikey were sure each senior was in his own room, it was time to climb over the balco- nies for a midnight swim or to go to Jason's room for something to eat. Swimming was a big thing. So big that Dan Calverley and Cathy Randall didn’t think twice about going for a swim in another hotel’s pool. Even at I a.m. and in their good clothes after a night at the disco. The whole trip was a success and even the long bus ride there and home had its good points. Like the euchre tournaments and trying to walk over people sleeping in the aisles. The bus driver even got into the act and entertained us by getting a speeding ticket at two in the morning. All in all the trip left us with many good memories of our class- mates and something to look back on and smile about. 94 I) Skeeter and Big J doing what comes naturally. 2) Doper can eat anytime, even in his sleep. 3) Wipe that silly grin off your face Workman. 4) Mikey Miller, showing off more than just his tan. 5) That statue doesn't look too happy with you guys. 6) Give it up Nett and Penn, you can’t drown Big Mare. 7) The three stooges-, Strut.

GRADUATION MEMORIES V.H.S. 1980 Graduation for the senior class of 1980 was held at 3:30 pm on June 1st. A large crowd was on hand to hear Charles Alexander, the Director of Placement at CMU, tell amusing stories and give the class advice on their futures. The sen- iors then gracefully marched up to re- ceive their diplomas from Mr. Andrew Alexander and Mr. Arthur Stratton, get ting their class flowers from their spon- sors on the way back to their seats. Then the big moment arrived. Mr. Keats Wood declared the seniors the graduat- ed class of 1980. Tassles were flipped, classmates hugged, and cries of joy let out. The graduated seniors were moving on to new horizons. fiery!

For the first time in several years, the 7th grade surprised everyone and won the pep jug. Even though most of the 7th graders were rather small, they had big’' ideas during Spirit Week. The seventh graders had quite a tight squeeze this year. Their first year of changing classes and not all of them had lockers, but all and all they seemed to like Jr. High. Some of their likes were Gym. the jukebox, the friendly people, and it being a small school. Most of all they liked Pep Assemblies where they could let loose and yell all they want- ed to.

The 7th grade basketball team coached by Mr. Bowman and the 8th grade team coached by Mr. Wilson were slowed down this year due to the shortness of the team. Even through weeks of practice the cagers came up. ' short each fin- ishing the season with a 5-1 record. Boys are better than girls? That’s not what the Junior High girls basketball players think. Miss Knight, the 7th grade coach led the girls to an even 5-5 season after meeting some tough, challenging teams. 8th grade girls coached by Miss Dens- more. finished the season with an even 5-5 record. Cheerleading Adding a special excitement to the Jr. High Basketball season were 15 cheerleaders. Each giving the team ail their support, raising the spirit of the fans and capturing the enthusiasm of the game. As the games grew more excit- ing. the fans came alive with the help of those cheer- leaders. Showing some moves to the cheerleaders and offering advice to new members were this years advisors.

James 105 Last But Not Least — Some Of The Best A special thank you to the ladies who make our school lunches possible. Even though their pho- tograph does not appear on these pages, they remain an im- portant part of VHS life. It takes real courage to feed an army everyday! Thanks ladies! Betty Bigelow Janet Throop Donna Stratton I Night Custodial Staff: David Frick, Naomi Beach. Jerry Corner, Sally Lewis. Kelly Howell. Missing: Scott Hacker. Bus Drivers: Joyce Erskin. Pat Enterline. Ula Cutler. Frances Waldron, Dave Boyer, Bob Horton, Caroline Cornell, Phyllis Marshall. Terry Woodard, Nan Lahman. An integral part of any school system is that group of people who keep it running smoothly. We think things run very smoothly here at VHS, thanks to the hard work of our custo- dians, cooks, bus drivers and mechan- ic. The custodial staff, led by Clifford Palmer becomes more than visible in the after-hours when brooms come out of hiding and things get swept back into shape. Roy Cooper and Clif- ford are on duty all day to solve emer- gency problems and do things like turn off the water, clean locker debris off the floor, and unlock faculty bath- room doors when they jaml The bus drivers deliver students in the usual mailman style. Through ice and rain and snow ... the kids must come through. Much work goes into on the bus discipline and route sched- uling. Cal Callison, aside from being Mr. Music and Lights”, runs a pretty tight ship in the bus garage. He answers calls for help from stranded bus dri- vers and manages to pass the State Police inspection with flying colors year after year. 107 V— the Cumberland Gap CINEMA TWIN PLAZA MT.
