Check Out WHO WE ARE Check — it can be a slip of paper for money, or it can be on a perfect paper. But when someone says “Check us out?” they mean, “Look at us and see why we are great!” We at Wilson Memorial have plenty of greatness. Some peo- ple are greater at schoolwork, some at sports, others at music or art. But, as a whole, great- ness is a state of mind which we all seem to have! It’s not a winning football team or straight “A’s.” It’s the satisfac- tion that you yourself have worked as hard as you can to do the best that you can. So this edition of the Hor- net’s Nest is dedicated to you at Wilson who do strive for your goals. It is going to cover all the greatness our school has and will show why we can say to anyone “Check Us Out!” “Just clowning around.” at the Spanish Club Halloween party are Jennifer Banks and Lauren Jones. 2 Who Are We During Mrs. Sims’ 12th grade English class, Billy Eckard demonstrates his knowledge of electricity. As she walks into the audito- rium, Emilie Miller flashes the camera a smile during her Dra- ma Class. Who Are We 3 Ash Lawn. These rich surroundings and the heritage of this area have shaped the lives of all of us. Some of us will make this area our heme forrthe rest of our lives, others ‘will moye_hun- dreds of miles away. ‘However — all of us will hold these days in this area as treasured memo- ries, 4 Where We Are Where We Are 5 Life, for one stu- dent, is com- plex, but trying to capture the lives of 850 students with diverse personalities is very difficult. In-school activities centered around the media center with people standing at bookcases and sitting at tables socializing. After-school activities cen- tered mainly around the gym, with sports practices and games. However, other places were filled with people during cer- tain seasons, including the football and baseball fields, track, tennis courts, and band room to name a few. For those in academic after-school activities, the li- brary and certain classrooms were the daily scenes. One main area of non-school involve- ment for students were churches (youth group activities not to mention worship services.) Other extra-curricular activi- ties were a variety of paying and volun- teer jobs, J.A., swim clubs, and artistic and musical groups. GUIDED BY THE STARS Fads became more diverse than ever this year. Teachers weren't shocked quite as easily as they used to be. From mini- skirts to neon makeup, girls in Hornet country adopted many new styles. Believe it or not, many guys joined the fashion scene this year. Chams de Bar- on and lots of leather was the name of the game. MTV’s influ- ence was seen in the halls daily. Cyndi Lauper’s dyed hair and wild makeup, Madonna’s ‘junky but sultry” look, Mi- chael Jackson’s immortal leath- er jacket, even Bruce Spring- steen’s very casual look (un- derstatement of the year) made its way to the wardrobes of the mighty Hornets. Many people dressed to match the style of music that they listened to. Breakdancers, who do their maxin’ and relaxin’ to the beat of groups such as Run D.M.C. and Whodini were usually seen wearing their windbreak- ers (Adidas, no doubt) and hi- tops. Madonna fans took on the “messy but sexy” look. Prince and the Revolution’s die-hards were infatuated with color (purple) and texture (lace). Then, of course, there were some people who refused to be- come victims to the ever- changing fads. They preferred to stick with their trusty old hiking boots and blue jeans. Could it be that they listened to Bruce Springsteen? Shannon Miller shares the last dance while wearing the latest style of pants. Chris Payne and James Goodwin dis- play the art of breakdancing. On the American Music Awards pro- gram, Prince won three awards, and also performed the title song from his movie Purple Rain. Doug Simpson is caught poppin’ and lockin’ in the library. Neon pink makeup makes its de- _ but appearance on Susan Agee. The following survey was conducted in randomly picked homerooms.

Angie Jones, Greg Wood, Susan Zapotoczny, Miss Barringer, and Jay Jones all went to the Latin Club Christ- mas Banquet in style. PARES ae The ones we remember Not every student life activ- ity was school sanctioned. Though some parties were, like the Spanish Club Party, the ma- jority were but described as “private affairs”. In either case weekends were memorable and the par- ties were too... sometimes. Skip Nash, Keith Eagle; Chris Garber, Karen Tutwiler, Cindy McDorman, and Wendy Wise- man all enjoy socializing at the Spanish party. Strawberry Shortcake come to Life? No. Janis Legett at the Spanish Halloween Party. At her birthday party, Susan Agee shows off her “child” to her friends. 10 Parties To celebrate Susan’s birthday, many couples “danced the night away.” Dressing in his usual attire, Bo McKin- nis livened up the Spanish Club Hal- loween party. WHAT WAS THE BEST PARTY YOU HAVE EVER GONE TO?

Senior Skip day '84 — Julia Womble, Karen Zimmerman Fraternity Homecoming party at UVA — Melanie Wangler Parties 11 THE LOVE CONNECTION | You people in Waynesboro complained that there was no place to go, nothing to do. But somehow, you always seemed to find a place to go on a date. The movies, of course, were the most popular place to go, and you with steady dates usu- ally saw each one that came out. But there were other things to do. Lots of you went to parties, and for those of you who didn’t, you could always drive around the countryside and waste gas. Once in a while, you were lucky enough to go to a concert in Richmond, Nor- folk, Roanoke, or Washington D.C., or to have a date who would take you to various sports games at UVA or JMU. And for those who weren’t lucky enough to go to those games, there were always high school events. But, after all, you will not only remember where you went but, more im- portantly, with whom. 12 Dates “Isn’t Missy Claytor’s necklace pret- ty?” Of course it isn’t really a necklace, just one of hundreds of streamers torn from the ceiling at Homecoming. Who ever said that three’s a crowd? Eighth graders Jessica Durham and Julie Roadecap sit with Paul Whitmer. Frostie Wiseman and Billy Eck- ard are surprised by a photogra- pher during a game. During halftime of a boys’ bas- ketball game, Alicia Ozyjowski and Kevin Kuester sit in the cafeteria. “4 Seniors Greg Early and Marybeth McMillion dance the night away at an- nual Homecoming dance.

From pick-ups to Camaros to VW’s to Pintos, the parking lot was lined with individually customized treasures. If they didn’t have the car : they wanted on the lot, they built what they had in mind, right down to the rims. Stan- dard equipment for the cus- tomized vehicles included re- upholstered interiors, grand stereo systems, and metallic paint jobs. A few strategically located bumper stickers and the blinding effect of fog lights completed the customization process.

From the Expo Fair- grounds to the New Market Battlefield, Wilson students were found throughout the area. For some, it was a way to meet friends away from school, and yet others, it was a way for them to express their hobbies or interests. But either way, the community events proved to be the afterlife of school. Kamie Kuester watches the tractor pull enthusiastically. Kenny Bradley tests his strength at Expo Fairgrounds. Wilson students take part in th New Market battle re-enactmen sponsored by the VMI cadets. 18 Community Events Wilson students enjoy the midway rides at Expo.

Oh, it’s my alarm clock.... net is that on when it is still dark out- side? “Good Morning?” How could a loving mother say “Good Morning” on her child’s first day at Wilson?” It was already time for the beginning of school. To you, the eighth graders and new stu- dents, it was a time for a new beginning a time for buying new clothes, a time for buying loose leaf paper and notebooks and binders, a time for learning a new locker combination, and a time for praying to be able to find classes.

In the hustle and bustle of making your way through the crowded hallways you noticed that you passed the library for the twelfth time. You probably wished you would have brought your compass key chain instead of the Mickey Mouse one. Finally, you hear glorious news — only ten more minutes of sixth period! Now all you have to do is find your bus. How hard could that be? Not too hard. You only entered sev- enteen other buses before you found your own. Well, look on the bright side.

These people did more than go to school for six hours a day, five days a week. Break dancing, hunting, fishing, and swim- ming were popular extracurri- cular activities, as well as mu- sic, clubs and church groups, and even earning a paycheck. Hard work and dedication were not in vain for these peo- ple. In addition to extra in- come, the time invested often brought a trophy to hang above the fireplace, skills to last a life- time, or the personal satisfac- tion of a job well done. Extracurricular activities Van Pham discusses her swimming technique with Diana Snively. 24 Extracurricular Activities were not just limited to the Au- gusta County area. Students traveled all over the Shenando- ah Valley and even into other states in pursuit of their favor- ite activities. Ball games led spectators to all areas in the valley, and occasionally to places even farther away, such as Central and Lord Botetourt. Credit went to persons other than the ones who participated in all of the activities. Parents, teachers, coaches, friends, rela- tives, and others gave the need- ed support to the people who took part in the extracurricular activities at Wilson. vd Wilson students, teachers, and families spend countless hours at extracurricu- lar activities. A new break dance move is shown to Todd McCray as Jeff Wilkerson and Bri- an McCray demonstrate. Displaying his 9-point deer that won the big buck contest is Mike Gauldin.

Extracurricular Activities 25 The Space Shuttle Challenger’s crew prepares to embark on another mission from Kennedy Space Center. Three of the crew members pic- tured are from the left Don Lind, Pilot Fred Gregory and Commander Robert Overmyer. 26 Current Events President Reagan greets West German Chancel- lor Helmut Kohl with a smile and handshake in Bonn. Reagan’s visit to Bitburg in April to lay wreaths upon German World War II soldiers’ graves was one of the most controversial acts of his administration. Arriving in Honduras, these mem- bers of the U.S. Army 101st Air- borne Division replace the U.S. Ma- rines who recently had taken posi- tions. LOOKING BACK The Summer Olympic Games of 1984 held in Los Angeles were some of our best ever. We captured an Olympic record of 174 total medals with 83 of them gold. In other sports, the fight of the year between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns ended with Hearns on top. In college basketball action, the Villanova Wildcats upset the Georgetown Hoyas 66 to 64. Months before, in January, the Miami Dolphins were crushed by the San Francisco ’49ers, 38-17. The big sport stories in the state belong to UVA’s Cavaliers as they went to (and won) their first bow] bid at the Peach Bowl, and Virginia Tech’s defensive tackle Bruce Smith who not only won the Outland Tro- phy but was also chosen as the number one NFL draftee. Along with these great athletes, women played an important role in the year Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman on a majo political party ticket as Vice President to Walter Mon- '_dale’s Presidential bid. Even in defeat, she gained our re- spect and attention. Another woman to catch our eye, but not necessarily our respect, was former Miss America Vanessa Williams. She was ‘the first black woman to hold this honor. She was also the first to step down and ‘turn in her crown. Octagen- : arian Clara Peller made us all wonder “Where’s the | beef?” But is it at Wendy’s or _in Prego’s spaghetti sauce? 4 i$ In the entertainment in- dustry, women contributed plenty. Madonna, the sloppy yet sultry video queen, took Michael Jackson’s place in the young’s eyes with her Like a Virgin album and tour. Cyndi Lauper also made it okay to look, dress, and be different with her smash album of the year, She’s So Unusual. Tina Turner came back onto the music scene “Ike-less and hot” with Private Dancer. The men were not idle ei- _.. WHAT A YEAR! ther in the music business. Everyone who turned on their raido or television was showered by Prince’s Purple Rain, which was also a sur- prise hit movie. Diamond David Lee Roth flourished with and without his band, VanHalen. His solo LP, Crazy from the Heat, followed Van- Halens’ 1984 right up the charts. The British group, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, helped us “Relax” with their album Welcome to the Plea- sure Dome. Bruce Spring- stein rocked us with Born in the USA while we danced and sang with the Jackson’ Victory tour. At the movies, we watched everything from ghosts to mermaids to cops. One of the favorites to hit the screen was Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy. But human humor is not every- thing as we soon found out in Ghost-Busters. Daryl Han- nah captured our attention (and our money) as a mer- maid in Splash and of. course, Steven Speilberg did it again with his horror flick Gremlins. Of course, movie theaters were not as full as usual because we were find- ing out it was cheaper to rent a VCR and watch more than one movie a night. (Movie tickets ranged between 3 to 4 dollars a person, a little more than we could afford.) And, if you were really broke, there was always TV. You could still watch the cliff- hanging Dallas or Dynasty. New shows proved to be very popular as The Cosby Show delighted audiences of all ages. Cosby was an obste- trician trying to keep up with life in the ’80’s and his 5 kids! Also new to NBC was Miami Vice, which not only had two great-looking stars but exotic scenery and hit music. While many new names were added to our vocabu- lary many of the old ones “left.” The music world lost William “the Count” Basie, a jazz composer and pianist at At another of their many press conferences Dr. Allan Lansing (left) and Dr. William DeVires dis- cuss the condition of one of their artificial heart recipients at Humana Heart Institute Interna- tional in Louisville, Kentucky. age 79, and 44 year-old Mar- vin Gaye. Actor Richard Burton, 58, and writer Tru- man Capote, 39, died also. India lost Prime Minister In- dira Ghandi; and Russia said good-bye to her leader, Yuri Andropov. Another tragedy struck In- dia at Bhopal. The Union Carbide plant had a gas leak that killed 2,500 people. Though death is inevita- ble, we learned that it can be postponed in some cases. Baby Fae lived 32 days long- er thanks to a heart she re- ceived from a baboon. The heart was a very popular or- gan in 1985. Artificial ones were for the first time trans- planted into some very lucky recipients. For many, the good news of this school year was Presi- dent Reagan’s re-election. The former actor swept 49 states in the November elec- tion to Mondale’s 1 (Missou- ri). Currents Events 27 Staunton—The Staunton- Waynesboro-Augusta Coun- ty Model General Assembly met for the days of March 26-28 in Trinity Episcopal Church in Staunton. Many bills passed into laws in- cluding several Wilson bills. Some laws made included stricter drunk driving legis- lation, lowering the drinking age to 18, setting a minimum teacher’s salary at $15,000, getting rid of college quotas, establishing a state lottery, and allowing para-mutual betting. Florida—Kamie Keuster is Wilson’s star swimmer. This year she participated again in the National Junior Olympics in the 1650m Freestyle and the 500m Indi- vidual Medley and the 400m Freestyle. It is a great honor to be able to participate in the National Junior Olym- pics and this was Kamie’s second year. Fishersville—The youn- gest sports referee in this area must have been Steve Cash, who refereed in bas- ketball and volleyball. He first became a referee through a friend of his when he was a junior. When asked why he does this, Steve re- plied that he loves it and doesn’t mind the pressure of refereeing kids his age. Park City, Utah—Glen Harlow, Jr. (Junior) placed first in the Slalom and first in the Giant Slalom while skiing in the International Special Olympics. This is a very high honor for Junior, who participated in the games which are only held 28 People In the News PEOPLE IN THE NEWS every four years. He has giv- en us a very big reason to be proud. Harrisonburg—This was the first year for Wilson to have a team participate on WVPT?’s Pop Quiz show. Wil- son was unlucky enough to draw the future 1 team — Charlottesville, and al- though they lost, they lost by the same amount of points as the runner-up. So it was a pretty good showing alto- gether by Wilson. The same team also participated in the Academic Challenge Com- petition finishing first in the Spring competition but los- ing in the final tie-breaker to the Fall champions — Stu- arts Draft, who in doing so won a trip to Texas. It was an excellent showing for Wil- son. = Referee Steve Cash was the first high school student to get his cre- dentials. Ramona Bosserman, Iris Taylor, and Bob Wenger have taught here for a combined total of over 75 years! Wilson’s Pop Quiz team checks the Waynesboro—Bo MckKin- nis is one of the best known manager statisticians to ever emerge from this area and probably the only one to earn a full scholarship to be a manager. And more than that, he is going on a baseball managerial scholarship to Mississippi State Univ., one of the top finishing teams and well-noted college base- ball schools. An “off-duty” moment is rare for Bo McKinnis. Norfolk—Pat Barnhart won 2nd place in the AARA Virginia State Singles Rac- quetball. He was in the nov- ice division in the competi- tion and many people were very surprised to learn of his talent. monitor before their taping. Staunton—For the firs time in seventeen years Wilson student won the re vered Dilettoso award. Th award is given to the out standing scholar athlete i the Staunton-August Waynesboro area. Chose from seven distinguishe nominees was Susan Zapc toczny.

F‘ the Dilettoso award, she r ceived a $300 scholarshi and the school was awarde a silver bowl for the ne: year. RETRACTION After the pages 100 and 101 we submitted to the publisher, Mi) Harlow was reassigned to Wilsor’ i Fishersville—Senior John Berg has an unusual hobby that could lead to a lucrative business. Taxidermy is the procedure of preserving ani- mal trophies. John has suc- 'cessfully preserved fish and other animals that he has caught and has also pre- -served trophies of his friends. John’s plans for the immediate future are to en- ter the military service, but the long-range future also holds a promise for him in | the good business of taxider- my. Staunton—Not many at ‘Wilson now know of Miss ‘Lillian Eisenberg, but she has made her mark in Wil- son Memorial High School history. She retired twenty years ago at the age of 70 asa _teacher of Algebra Trig., Geometry, and Advanced Math. She had taught from 1947-1965 and has recently celebrated her 90th birthday. | As quoted from the 1964-65 ‘WM annual, “Miss Eisen- ' berg’s students know their math. She is enthusiastic about her teaching and in- stills a love for learning in ‘her pupils... A beloved and Susan Zapotoczny receives her award. Farmville, Virginia—The representatives to the Max Ward Delmar Yearbook workshop at Longwood Col- lege were: Donna Carter, | Amy Hemp, Missy Hewitt, Sandra Runyan, and first year photojournalism stu- dent — Meagan Heaslip. Fishersville—There were three Wilson Memorial High School Employees married this year. Ms. Wine became Ms. Fielding, Miss Armen- trout became Mrs. Holly, and Ms. Benson became Mrs. Layman. Congratulations! Mr. Hairfield delivers a birthday cake to former teacher Mrs. Eisen- burg. respected teacher... a hard combination to find.” That’s quite a compliment and we're sure she deserved ev- ery word. Miss Eisenberg, we wish you many more Happy Birthdays! Lynchburg and Farmville, Virginia—Five students were selected to represent Wilson at the 1985 Boys’ State and Girls’ State Con- ference. The students were from the junior class and were chosen by the school’s faculty for their cooperation and community service. The Boys’ State program was held at Lynchburg College June 16-22, and the Girls’ State program was held at the same time at Longwood College. The programs are designed to instruct the stu- dents in local and state gov- ernment. This year’s repre- sentatives were: Melissa Claytor, Tabitha Johnson, Kamie Kuester, David Mor- ris, and Scott Ramsey. uN i “is a f a Mrs. Fielding was moved to tears by this party. aN Fishersville—Mr. Tom Varner, hired as the replace- ment for Mrs. Ungar, decid- ed to return to school, the University of Virginia, to seek his master’s degree. Thus, Wilson’s chemistry and physics labs were aban- doned a second time this year. ™ Students’ report cards present a challenge to Mr. Varner. Missy Claytor Wilson Memorial High School was founded in the Wilson complex from old military hospital build- ings. The doors first opened in 1947. The present building replaced the old structures in fall of 1970. Stuarts Draft—At the be- ginning of the second six weeks’ grading period, Mrs. Pam Ungar took a position as Assistant Principal at Stu- arts Draft High School. Mrs. Ungar had been a chemistry and physics teacher at Wil- son for five years and was the Science Department Chairperson before her de- parture. Students reacted to her decision with mixed feelings. One said, “Every- one liked her and we’re sor- ry to see her leave. But, we are glad she got a promo- tion.” David Morris Scott Ramsey a a People In the News 29 Excellence is defined as “the state of superiority”.

When minimum wage was only $3.35 per hour and baby- sitting brought in about half that much, it took a lot of work to pay for the many items our parents didn’t see the need to pay for.

Some people collect rocks, some al- bums, some tapes, some video games, some coins, but almost everyone has a T-shirt collection with slogans, comical or personal.

Tuesday was dubbed “green and gold day”. After the girl’s basketball game (Wilson 40 — W. Monroe 33), the traditional bonfire took place during which many students were “spirited.” Wednesday was “in- side-out day.” Have you ever tried wearing your jeans inside out (or is it outside in)? Thurs- day marked “whisper day” (WMHS definition of whisper: students voicing their opinions and pleasantries at a booming decibel) supposedly to save your voice for the pep rally sixth period. Of course, any reason for getting out of class constitutes excitement and spirit. The juniors proved to be the loudest, winning the spirit stick after a fierce contest with the sophomores. Friday was probably the students’ favorite (no school teacher workday). Everyone relaxed and pre- The Singing Sergeants join forces with the band to sing and play the national anthem. 34 Homecoming pared for the upcoming football game. At 8:00 the Wilson team faced the William Monroe Green Dragons, who were ranked third in the state at the time. The first half wasn’t too bad. W. Monore only scored 31 points against our diligent de- fense! Our offense? Well, they didn’t score. The half-time ac- tivities included a field show by the Marching Hornets (di- rected by Mr. Rick Crawley). Then, the Homeocming court was introduced and the King and Queen crowned. The re- presentatives were: eighth grade, Todd Harris and Susan Smith; ninth grade, Sherman Snyder and Sharon Roadcap; tenth grade, Tracey Coffey and Sheri Elmore; eleventh grade, Brian Shifflett and Donna Campbell; twelfth grade, Greg Early and Angie Jones, Brad Harris and Emilie Miller, Kent Megordon was king and Mi- chelle Dunnivan, queen. After the coronation, play resumed on the field. Wilson did score in the fourth quarter, but the final score was our 7 to their 31.

Homecoming 35 JUNIORS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN Much as Cyndi Lauper would, the juniors said, “Hey, Mom, we finally did it!” The J.V. show was a success due to the long hours of practice and rehearsals to insure that every- thing went as planned. Committees were the back- bone of the show because the hard work of these people pro- vided organization for the show. The script committee, consisting of Mandy Brown, Kaye Baber, Howard Miller, Jerry Caldwell, and Donna Carter provided the needed jokes, quips, and skits to fur- nish the actors with their lines. Keith Alexander, Donna Carter, Howard Miller, and Steve and Scott Wine were in 23 Ay y F. 2% Soa f ‘he 36 J.V. Show charge of the props. The com- mittees were organized by Kaye Baber and Mandy Brown, the stage directors. When Cyndi Lauper (Megan Heaslip) appeared on a stage protected by her bodyguard (Ed Gauldin), the show was off to a flying start. The theme from “Batman” flooded the audito- rium as Miss Lauper intro- duced the first act. Following “Batman”, Bernhard Wetz (Matt Garber) the subway vigi- lante, made an appearance on stage. After several acts, including the infamous “Band Camp”, “Ebony and Ivory”, and “Happy Days” were intermission acts featuring Mr. Varner (Keith starving famine victims in Ethiopia.

Next came _ the “Sweetwater Band”, led by Tim Smith singing ‘Wooley Swamp” and drum-player Scott Linton singing “Sweet Home Alabama”. Next, “Mic Joey” of Satur- day Night Live appeared “live on stage”. “Hot For Teacher” was next, followed by “The Twelve Years of School”. Angie Coffey and Tabitha Johnson twirled batons to the songs, “Let the Music Play” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. The famous Wendy’s com- mercial featuring “parts is parts” and the Miller “Light Beer” commercial rounded out the first half of the show. Bodyguard Ed Gauldin looks on as Cyndi Lauper, played by Megan Heas- lip, chats with Bernhard WEtz, played by Matt Garber. Todd Hurst plays lead guitar for the “Sweetwater Band”. As the crowd settled into their seats, they were treated to another band, “Over The Lim- it”. The music continued as the juniors in the Singing Ser- geants sang. Next came a rever- sal of roles, as Tim Smith and Barry Williams paraded with “Girls on Film”. The risque “High Times” skit brought laughs, as well as the news with Paul Harvey (Jerry Cald- well) and Joe Piscopo (Scott Linton). Two dance numbers were in the show. “The Lucky One”, a solo dance to the Laura Branni- gan hit, was performed by Tra- cy Templeman. “Be True To Your School” was a dance num- ber to the popular Beach Boys SOnE. J.V. Show 37 The Seniors were both ner- vous and excited as they lined up to walk through the arches. It was finally Class Night. A night when seniors are official- ly recognized for their hard work and completion of five years of high school. It is tradition that during their junior year, the girls ask the guy of their choice to walk with them through the arches on Class Night. As the couples approach the last arch, they turn their rings. After the ring-turning cere- mony, Angie Jones, Class Vice President, gave the welcoming speech and several members of the senior class presented gifts to the Superlatives. The Singing Sergeants honored the graduat- ing class by singing “Corner of the Sky”. The senior Class President, Jane Cash, gave a closing speech that put a tear in everyone's eye. IN A’ CLASS sar THEMSELVES | The night ended with a dance in the cafeteria. The first dance was reserved for parents to dance with their sons or daughters.

As the three o’clock bell rang on Friday, May tenth, many ju- niors and seniors rushed home to prepare for the biggest event of the school year, Prom. The guys drove all over Staunton and or Waynesboro to pick up corsages and tuxes, while girls stopped off at the hairdressers for a new style or just went home to relax in the tub before slipping into their carefully se- lected formal gown. At six o’clock, nervous boys, all decked out including a bow tie, rang the doorbell to the house in which “the most beautiful girl at the dance” lived. Then it was off to a fancy dinner.at the Belle Grae Inn, the Aberdine Barn, White Star Mills, Sugar Tree Inn, McCormick’s or Buckhorn Inn. — After that, the Prom. Ingleside’s ballroom was filled with blue and silver bal- loons. The tables along the edge of the dance floor were simply covered with white ta- blecloths topped with a single Part of Prom is eating out at a fancy restaurant. Dining at the Belle Grae Inn are Anette Elsborg and Alex Jones. blue candle. Balloons floated above, and each setting had a memory book with the theme, “You’re the Inspiration” im- printed on it. The refreshment tables were loaded with the punch bowls and cakes. The fi- nal feature, that makes any Prom complete, was the band, The Houserockers. They played hit songs to keep the dancers happy and put on a show for those who were sit- ting. Sometime in the middle, Mr. Costa announced the King and Queen. Among the court were Emilie Miller and Brad Harris, and Lavonia Michaels and Tim Wade. Michelle Dunnivan and Kent MeGordon were crowned. At twelve, the dance was over. But the night was still young. There were many par- ties to attend, and many cou- ples just enjoyed driving around. Some decided to have breakfast which was served at Hardees, Bo’s house, and, of course, at home. On the dance floor, Michelle Dunnivan and Kent MeGordon are the epitome of love, which is why they were chosen King and Queen. Sylvia Palmer only has eyes for her date (and visa-versa) as they slowly dance the evening away.

For the graduating class of one hundred and seventy-four, June 7 was more eagerly await- ed as commencement exer- cises were held. The gym was jam-packed with a great number of people who watched as the graduating seniors received their diplo- mas, presented by Mr. Costa and Mr. Jones. Graduation ex- ercises were held indoors due to inclement weather. The WMHS concert band started the evening with sever- al songs, including the national anthem and “Pomp and Cir- cumstance.” Next Sharon Glesner, the Salutatorian for the class of 1985, welcomed ev- The graduating seniors give them- selves a hand after receiving their di- plomas. 44 Graduation eryone to the commencement exercises. After a formal introduction by Jane Cash, Mr. Douglas Guynn, a successful Harrison- burg lawyer and a member of the Wilson class of 1972, deliv- ered the commencement ad- dress. Mr. Guynn quoted Rob- ert Frost, Daniel Webster, and Shakespeare. “To thine own self be true” was a quote from Shakespeare used by Mr. Guynn to advise the class to do what they feel is right, even if others contradict their view- points. Finally, the Valedictorian of the class of 1985, Melanie Wan- gler, delivered an emotional farewell address to her fellow classmates. Mr. Costa presents a diploma to class Salutatorian Sharon Glesner. Listening to Mr. Douglas Guynn’s address to the graduat- ing class are Mr. Costa and Rev. Williams, who delivered the benediction.

Some were blond with blue eyes and fair skin, others red-headed, oth- ers, with dark hair, eyes and skin. But | they all had one thing in common. They were Wilson students, whether they liked | it or not. Students at Wilson enjoyed a variety of activities, depending on their respective ages. 8th graders enjoyed the | “thrill” of first going to high school. 9th graders had the experience of being able to participate on a varsity team for the first time and win a letter. Soph omores hy enjoyed the new thrill of driving! Juniors were faced with the responsibility of a J.V. show and prom. And the Seniors? Well, what do you think the seniors did? Eager- ly anticipated graduation and all it’s ac- tivities, of course! All the people, howev- er, had to face the daily school routine of 8:30-3:00. They all had major tests and homework, and to each person his own lot seemed terrible. Yet, almost everyone survived. | 46 People THE TIME HAS COME AUGUST 27, 1984 Me? A Senior? I can’t believe it! It seems like only yesterday that I was a frightened little eighth grader. Today I’m one of those people that I was so in awe of four years ago! I keep thinking “Today is the first day of my last year of high school.” After this, where will I go? What will I do? The Senior Class Officers are Jane Cash, President; Angie Jones, Vice President; Greg Wood, Treasurer; Kelly Coffey, Secretary; and Joan Lewis, Reporter. Seniors were asked for their nicknames, their plans after high school and what they will miss most about Wilson. Their answers follow their names.

It seems like it was just yesterday when we started high school, and now we're in the 11th grade. For many 11th graders, be- ing a junior brought them one step closer to gradu- ation. Along with the things only juniors can do, such as the JV show, 11th grade was a time of new experiences. Driving to school, taking PSAT’s and SAT’s, and prep- aration for college were some of the things done by juniors. Some juniors could go to an “R” rated movie without a parent or fear of being “carded”. Another new experience for career-minded juniors was Valley Vocational Tech- nical Center. Courses in business, cosmetology, auto- motive occupations, and other classes occupied three periods of some juniors’ days.

After having several fund-raising drives, students began thinking of themes, colors to wear to the prom, and the best band available for the money. Sports, forensics, band, Singing Sergeants and many other activities took up the spare time of many juniors. Other 11th graders spent their time customizing their cars, dating, watching other juniors, or earning a pay- check. Some juniors even spent their time studying for the all-too-many tests that lurked around the corner. Yes, it does seem like it was just yesterday when we started high school. But to- morrow, we’ll be out in the world: working, playing, and doing what juniors do best.

Our guid- ance counselors are always available to help with col- lege applications, personal problems, or scheduling. The library staff tries very hard to help students find and use whatever they need for the variety of research projects they do. They also can help, and frequently do, in the choice of leisure read- ing materials. The secre- taries do everything from answer the phone and keep track of “missing” students, to administering first aid... The three administrators are often seen in the halls between classes and at their desk on the phone with par- ents or newspaper reporters. Of course, we can’t forget all the hours they spend receiv- ing and dealing with “pink slips”!

Then, for five years, he taught physical education and coached football, bas- ketball, baseball, golf, and track at Turner Ashby and Elkton High Schools.

But the main reason peo- ple came to school (whether their parents made them or not) was for the academics. This year marked the coming of several new teachers, as well as the departure of a few. Underclassmen, as well as several Juniors and Seniors, began striving for the special 22-credit diplomas with the Gov- ernor’s Seal. But generally, classes contin- ued as usual, with some which students fy hated and some which they loved. Like- wise, teachers probably felt the same about their classes, some as good, while others as “pains in the neck.” And so it went. But even academics wasn’t limited. Se- niors had the chance to participate in two) AP classes, Calculus and English, while certain 10th graders participated in Phys- ics and Chemistry, a new step for Wilson in recent years. For those students who. preferred electives, they had the usual) range of choices from Drama, to Art, Mu-. sic, to Foreign Languages, to Agriculture, and Home Ec. | 88 Academics The Foreign Language Department: Elsa Kiser — Spanish I-IV; Fred Hol. lins — Spanish I and French I-IV; Mary Barringer — Latin I-IV. The Spanish Club! The Latin Club! LANGUAGE IS AN ART? Why are Language Arts ne classes called Language “Arts”? Language isn’t an art. Or is it? English and For- eign Language instructors certainly contend that speaking and writing a lan- guage correctly is an art. Being able to write is an important facet of most peo- ple’s lives, whether it has to do with jobs or just letters between friends. Reading, of course, is important to ev- eryone’s lives. Just suppose that your job caused you to take a busi- ness trip to Spain or Mexico? Wouldn’t it be helpful to know Spanish? In Spanish class, Clay Coffey and Tony Ringgold enjoy one of the cooking days. 90 Language Arts Mrs. Eby has been teaching Eng- lish for the last eleven years. During that time she has developed a repu- tation for being different. Many of her classes tell fond memories of her imaginary student who sat in the back and always listened. Later, her 6 ft. invisible rabbit began making A’s in all her classes. Perhaps that was because he spent all day in the back of her room. One group of stu- dents (from the class of 85) fondly recalls giving her a large stuffed rab- bit to replace Harvey. Mrs. Eby taught many of us the foundations of grammar and litera- ture in 9A English. Many of our fon- dest memories are from experiences of which she is a part. Good luck, Mrs. Eby, enjoy your retirement!

Host Conway Clements Talks to the Conehead team of Denise Mickens, Sylvia Palmer, and Jerry Caldwell. Debate, Drama, and Forensics, not just your everyday chit-chat How many times have you listened to your teachers, parents, and friends yell at you to stop talking? But for some reason some of us could never stop. Well, here at WMHS there are three ex- tra-curricular activities to take part in if you enjoy us- ing your mouth, and they’re excellent way to put your energies into something good. Drama was a new addition to the curriculum this year. It was a semester class taught by Mrs. Fielding. Stu- dents learned the principles of blocking, diction, and how to properly portray a character. They also put on the Christmas play which everyone enjoyed. Forensics had many male and female students com- peting in many different speaking events, including public speaking, prose and poetry reading, extempora- neous speaking, and spell- ing. The forensics team tied Riverheads for first in the county meet; but because of a misunderstanding about the time of the start of the district meet, only prose reader Lauren Jones was able to go. She placed 2nd and was able to participate in regionals. Debate did an excellent job this year, not o nly did they win district, the affir- mative team of Robin Miller and Mark Houff won first place in the STATE. Billy Lang and Jay Jones won sixth place arguing the negative side. Jay and Mark also won third place speakers awards. This year the team de- bated the topic “Resolved: That the Federal Govern- ment should provide em- ployment for all employable U.S. citizens living in pover- ty.” The Negative team op- poses the resolution and in doing so defends the current employment situation in the U.S; Debate is a valuable edu- cational experience. A de- bate program provides stu- dents with training in re- search analysis, sound argument, quick thinking, and effective extemporane- ous speaking. Certainly many former debaters have found that their debate ex- perience has helped to pre- pare them for a college envi- ronment and a successful business career.

Social st udies is a word most students who initially react unfavorably to soon learn to appreciate. Of course, some react with sud- den cold sweats to the histo- ry of the Middle East, and faint dead away to the words “project” and “college”. Many, however, actually en- joy the poster-making and play-acting of the mock tri- als, In fact, the older the stu- dents get, the more interest- ing they find social studies to be. It is the only class in which you can learn about all the things our forefathers thought they were doing when no one was looking. In civics, you can learn all the laws you didn’t know exist- ed and probably already broke. In government, you can learn what makes Amer- ica so unique. You can even get together with your friends and try to design your own governmental sys- tem. Keep in mind, though, that some inspired journalist may be taking notes on all your actions, and you could wind up in your child’s so- cial studies textbook!

PUZALED BYGE Everybody has to have at least one year of it. Many students take two or even three years of it. Some stu- dents have a fear of it. Oth- ers enjoy it. What is it? It is science and here at Wilson we offer the required 8th grade Physical Science, Earth Science, Biol- ogy, Chemistry, and Physics. In Earth Science Freshman learn about Astrology, Geol- ogy, Meteorology, and Oceanography. The students who take Biology learn about the anatomy and the functions of single cell and muliple cell organisms. Bonding, compounds, scien- tific notation, gas laws and labs all become familiar terms after a year in Chemis- try. Juniors and Seniors know all about waves, heat, energy, work, electricity and magnetism after a year of Physics. 1984-85 Science teachers: Mr. Tom Varner, Mrs. Patsy Kislek, Mr. James Bryan, Mr. David Wade, and Mr. Bob 98 Science Hartman.

Maybe, if you were a girl, you would jump rope or play hopscotch. Possibly you would practice cheers with your friends and talk about boys. If you were a tomboy, you could play kickball or football or basketball with the guys. There was always something going on, either in the form of a pick-up game of dodgeball or (yuk!) “kiss” tag. No matter what your preference, recess was a time to relax and have fun, actively.When you reach high school, “recess” be- comes “physical education”. The teachers have a “planned activity” but the principle is the same: to give students a break and to learn something at the same time. Also included in the rep- ertoire of “PE.” is “health”. During the eighth and tenth grades, everyone must take one semester of health. Miss Harlow, Mr. Waleski and Mrs. Taylor are the ones in charge of this branch and manage to include film- strips, special speakers and interesting lectures along with the text. These three also work with Mr. Schuler and Mr. Geiman in the gym to round out the course. Striving for those last few steps in the 50-yard dash is sophomore Da- vid Flintom. 100 Phys. Ed.

FHA 105 A TRADITIONAL CHALLENGE Facing the great challenge of making it as a farmer, the agriculture classes at Wilson worked hard toward that elusive goal. Students gained on-hands experience by using power machinery and other equip- ment associated with the field of farming. Work with landscaping, plants, and the skills needed to produce a healthy crop were taught in horticulture. In the classroom, students were required to take a course in hunter’s safety be- fore they could participate in target matches. Discus- sions about forestry, feed ra- tions, livestock judging, and proper care planting of crops Watering flowers in horticulture class is Brian McCray. 106 Agriculture and crop rotation took place between everyone. Hunting season was well anticipated, as class mem- bers took their hunting skills to the woods to try to bag the biggest buck. Even if that deer was not seen by every- one, each class member learned how to score the rack by taking precise mea- surements. Farming is an exacting sci- ence. From all of the experi- ence that the agriculture classes gained, there should be a generation of young farmers that will keep the farming tradition of the Shenandoah Valley alive and well. 4 Varnishing this piece of wood is Ke- vin Marrs.

Club members actively participated in many of the events that have been done over the years.

Under the careful guidance of Mr. Run- kle, Mr. Scott and Mr. Luns- ford, the shop teachers, many boys and even some girls, completed different projects in their classes. In the Communications department Mr. Runkle kept a Close watch as class mem- bers used many machines that printed and duplicated, and even ones that devel- oped the pictures in this yearbook. Communications students also learned to use their hands by using 35 mm cameras. Mr. Runkle also taught an- other type industrial arts class. Students in his metal working class gained valu- able insights into the precise field of metal fabrications. Drill presses, vises, ham- mers, and metal shears were used to complete many pro- jects made with sheet metal and other types of commer- cial metals. Both Mr. Scott and Mr. Lunsford taught woodwork- ing classes. Using such pow- er machinery as jointers, wood lathes, table saws, planers, and band saws, these young craftmen and craftwomen made numer- ous items. These machines came in handy while mak- ing picture frames, snack trays, baseball bats, gun racks, chopping blocks and pump lamps. There was one thing that the students did not learn, and that was how to sand with the aid of a ma- chine. They used something that requires just a little el- bow grease. One of the stu- dents’ favorite projects was the model racing cars powered by CO, capsules and raced on a special track in the shop class.

Concerts are always the culmina- tion of all the music lessons and practices. These eighth graders learned well! Music 113 WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS It doesn’t take much to get a Sergeant to sing; any song will do. And it’s quite possi- ble that Scott Linton on his drums and Pat Wertman on his bass guitar could add a back beat to the piano’s tune. With David Tate directing, a concert is soon born. Actual- ly, five concerts and one TV appearance were produced. During the Christmas sea- son, the Sergeants per- formed four holiday pro- grams at various area churches and one in Wil- son’s auditorium. They were also broadcasted on public TV, channel 51, on Christ- mas Eve. Included in the program, along with the usu- al carols, was a solo in “Hark Unto Us a Child is Born” by Kathy Rankin. “God’s Love Made Visible” and “Decem- ber Child” delighted the au- dience, as well as “Carol of the Bells” which has become Joanie Lewis, disguised as a clown, finishes her solo “The Way We Were.” 114 Singing Sergeants SING A SONG a trademark of the Ser- geants. “This Is It” was the theme for the spring concert. Sever- al popular songs such as “Automatic” (sung by the Girl’s Ensemble), “Against Mr. Tate and Randall Hinebaugh anxiously watch dress rehearsal, hopefully catching all mistakes. During the Christmas concert at Tinkling Springs Church, Beth Grove awaits the signal to begin the opening number “Dona Nobis Pa- cem” (Give Us Peace). All Odds” (Kathy Hughes and Kim Meek), “A Little Good News” (done by soloist Kathy Rankin), and “New York, New York” (all Ser- geants) highlighted the show. There were also a number of “fun” tunes. Among these were “Blue Jeans” (Bubby Harris and friends), “At The Hop” (all singers) “Mr. Bubble” (Bo McKinnis, Bubby Harris, and Jeff Mawyer), “Add A Riff” (Bo McKinnis, Bubby Harris, Greg Wood, Angie Jones, Karen McKinney, Mona Dollins, and Jane Cash), “I Feel Pretty” (the alto section), and “The Great Fillin’ Station Hold-up” (Jeff Mawyer and Bo McKinnis). Solos by Lauren Jones (‘“Memory” from Cats), Joanie Lewis (“The Way We Were’’), and Greg Wood (“Simple Song”) rounded out the program.

After hav- ing Mrs. Joyce Mizer as a band director for 14 years, she unexpectedly had to leave. Although everyone was saddened by her ab- sence, we all welcomed our new band director, Mr. Rick Crawley with open arms. Mr. Crawley presented the marching band with a new challenge: putting a differ- ent show on the football field for each game. Accept- ing the challenge, the band performed their shows suc- cessfully after many hours of practice and hard work. The band went to the State Marching Band Festival in Vinton and received an ex- cellent rating. They received second place in the Staunton Christmas Parade and first place in the Waynesboro Christmas Parade. The Concert Band per- formed twice for the public and participated in the Dis- trict Festival in the spring. Individuals from the band were also in the Solo Ensem- ble Festival.

Although we moved back to the single-A division and a new district, the district’s average teams, if placed in another area would have had a good chance of dominating. To have a Winning season, all teams need that spe- cial quality that sets them above the rest; but here they had to have an “extra-spe- cial” quality. Yet, Wilson was blessed with many “extra-special” teams! What makes “extra-special” teams? “Extra-special” people, of course, people who are dedicated to the pursuit of a goal and hard work. Whether the teams were winning or not, nearly every athlete was willing to put forth that extra effort. And, after all, the best and only true satisfac- tion an athlete can have is the knowledge that he or she has done his or her best. Then, no matter how well the team does, he or she can stand up to anyone and proudly say, “Check us Out!” 128 ae | Sora er fe t Two year veteran Lesley Higgs shows enthusiasm for basketball that excites the crowd.

They were always on “display;” they couldn’t get “down” or show anger during the sports contests. They had to keep the student body, the ath- letes, and the crowd cheering, ee! eS no matter how cold — or how hot — the weather was or how far behind the team was. These girls had to “put on a show” when the basketball or football teams couldn’t. And, of course, there were the “little” things they did to keep the players happy — like painting posters that proclaimed such things as “HORNETS ARE THE BEST!” or “GLADIATOR-BUSTERS!” Debbie Wright watches every one else while Mechelle Zirk concentrates on the crowd at the Waynesboro football game. and spoiling them with candy and cookies on game days.

Among these memorable as- pects of the season were mo- ments of pure pain. (Such as the time Ed Gauldin landed with Brian Bistel on his leg. No- tably, Bistel was the largest man on the team.) There were the quiet moments too, like the daily devotion time when the coach read and prayed. Art Waleski came here this year with some new ideas and techniques, and produced win- ning attitudes among the guys.

The season record was 1- 9, not impressive but as the players were young and small, we can’t complain. One player, Kent Megordon, was named All District, All City-County, Honorable Men- tion Regionally and Most Valu- able Player of the team. He played tight end. Mark Coffey, a junior who played quarterback, set the school record for most passing yards in one game. He was also All City-County. When practice begins in Au- gust and the season stretches through November, a team can become pretty close. Sharing sweat, pain, good times, and even showers can make a group of guys into a team, a unit of one mind, an experi- ence they won’t forget.

Old Webster says “football fiit-,bdl n: any of several games played by two teams on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end; esp: one in which the ball is in pos- session of one team at a time and is advanced by running or passing.” Ok. Now, what does that mean? “Two teams” of what? Giraffes? Penguins? Ele- phants? Nope. Two teams of eleven “men.” Alright, “... a rectangular field with goal posts at each end.” Got the pic- ture? Now for the action “ one [game] in which the ball is in possession of one team at a time and is advanced by run- ning and passing.” Sounds sim- ple, right? Wrong! What about practice? A team just can’t ap- pear at 6:00 and be expected to play “football.” It takes weeks of practice, training and injur- ies. And don’t forget all that equipment: shoulder pads, thigh pads, arm pads, butt pads, jaw pads, mouth guards, cleats, and on top of everything, a well padded Bike helmet. Ready? Just about. You’ve had your bol practice, you’ve got your ten pounds of equipment, you’ve got the coaches (You know them. They’re the ones with baseball caps and wind-break- ers screaming on the sidelines, ) and you’ve also got a bad case of nerves. Especially after you take a look at the size of the other team. but, it’s too late for cold feet. Your mom and dad are out there sitting in the bleachers. You’ve got to move that ball down that “.. . rectan- gular field with goalposts on each end ... by running and passing.” Think you can do it? good luck!

Cindy Sadonis, a teacher at Wilson Elementary replaced Mrs. Taylor as coach. Team members described the team as being very close. As one mem- ber said, “Everyone was best friends.” Although their district re- cord was 4-6, the Lady Hornets worked hard and were tough competition. The starters were Dana Lam, Susan Zapotoczny, Tressa Fitzgerald, Donna Carter, Tina Fitzgerald, and Mechelle Zirk. Susan Zapo- toczny, who was the only se- nior on the team, served as cap- tain. Dana Lam was named All Re- gional (2nd team), All Skyline District (1st team), and All City-County (1st team). Susan Zapotoczny was named All Skyline District (2nd team) and All City-County Honorable Mention.

Since this was a major re- building year (with only four seniors and four returning let- ter winners), his main objec- tive for the season was to get as many girls interested in track as possible. The teams’ seniors were Lou- ise Arnatt, Lorena Washington, Kay Gulding, and Karen Bruce. The four returning Letter win- ners were Kay Gulding, Louise Arnatt, Tabitha Johnson, and Tracy Templeman. Although their district re- cord was 0-6, the girls placed 8th out of 21 teams at Region- als, and 3rd at the Buena Vista Invitational. The high point of the season was Kay Gulding’s impressive 2nd place in the 2-mile at the state meet. Tracy Templeman and Kamie Keuster qualified for the state meet also by plac- ing 3rd and 6th, respectively, in the 2-mile at regionals. Senior Lorena Washington made it to regionals in the 200 while sophomore Robyn Gruver NGELS competed in the 400. Asa result of their hard work and contributions to the team, Kay Gulding and Tracy Tem- pleman were named Most Valuable Players for the 1985 season. Despite the team record, there were several bright spots during the season. Coach White is looking forward to an even brighter and hopefully better season next year.

Along with the Ori- oles and the Cardinals (the feathered ones that is) comes the desire to pull out the leath- er glove, oil it, put on the cleats and “play ball.” Even in below freezing weather, the snow and rain, boys are willing to suffer for the pure pleasure of batting practice. Such devotion showed in this year’s team as they went to regionals and im- proved their previous records by winning 13 and losing 9. Yes, love of the game kept the Hornet spirit going. Why else would 19 people spend so much time swinging a bat, throwing a ball, and running bases. Three to four hours after school a day, not to mention Saturdays, they practiced. The coaches drilled them at all times. There wasn’t a moment for goofing off on practice time. And all that drilling paid off. In the season opener against Waynesboro, who was ranked number one in the Double A Region II division, Wilson showed their ability by defeat- ing the Little Giants, 5-4. After that the Hornets managed to stay on top of their division. By beating Buffalo Gap twice in regular season play, they earned the number one spot in the district along with a ticket to regionals play.

Behind the main objective to hit the ball as far and accurate as possible lie many complex rules dealing with water hazards, out-of- bounds and lost balls. If you play by these rules and stay out of the hazards you can better your score by taking less strokes or hits. Therefore, the less strokes taken in a round of eighteen holes mean the better your score will be. Due to our drop from double A to single A status, Wilson had a golf team for the first time since 1982. Led by the knowl- edge of Coach Art Waleski, the golf team consisted of Darrell Bowman, Bill Nash, Doug Ho- peman, Ricky Clark, Joe Davis, Kevin Legett, John Scheib, Scott S. Ramsey, Robbie Sprouse and Randall Hine- baugh. Even though everyone’s score progressed during the season, the team didn’t have the experience of the other teams in the district who had long, established programs of Watching Doug Hopeman practice a chip shot are Ricky Clark and Kevin Legett. For some team members, the season was their first taste of tournament competition. Sev- eral members, including Joe Davis the team score leader, had competed in previous matches. However, most of the team were weekend players, inexperienced in the rigorous competition of the tournament. Team members competed against each other for ranks in the matches. The top six scored during qualification would be counted in tournament play. Even though he was an eighth grader and was ineligi- ble to compete, John Scheib qualified for a top six tourna- ment position and therefore re- ceived a pack of three golf balls for match use. Although the team had an unsuccessful season with no wins and twelve losses, the players improved and should better their record next season. There were no seniors on the young team, so Wilson will gain experience as the other teams lose their senior members. The spring 1985 golf team: Center: Coach Art Waleski.

Some forever, not for better; Some have gone — and some remain. All these places had their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living — In my life I’ve loved them all.” Mr. Bryan is eagerly awaiting the day when his Biology classes will IN MY LIFE graduate from dissecting pigs to more “interesting” things. the Beatles 188 Remonia Fisher and Julia Womble roudly show off their dates.

Can you believe it? An- other year has flown by. 180 days of working on tests, term papers, exams, year- book spreads, and home- work. Finally we’re done! It seems like just yester- day we walked in our first day of the 1984-85 school year to find the school had gotten a new paint job. Re- member all the football games and the girls’ basket- ball games?! And of course, the Homecoming dance! And then boys’ basketball season. What an improve- ment over the past few years. Even though winter got to be so cold, Spring real- ly made up for it. March was really busy with Model Gen- eral Assembly, Sergeants show and the JV show. And of course Prom was fantas- tic! Class Night, Graduation . Ah... what memories!! 4 aR A - = � stg ae pey' Sh ba + %: raat. It looks like Advanced PE has fun § in class. Hey, check us out! We are GRADUAT- ING!!

And the annual turned out okay, after all, didn’t it? World of Communications Class — Thanks for your photography help! Mr. Costa — You’ve been a great principal and very helpful. We’ll miss you! Janet Henderson — It’s too bad you were only on the staff half a year. You really helped a lot when you came! Sandy Runyan — You were the baby of the staff, but a hard worker, and I know you'll be a great Student Life editor! Missy Hewitt and Amy Hemp — It seemed like you were constantly laughing and talking over at your table, but you were very quick at turning in your spreads! Good luck your senior year! Michelle Rust — I know a lot of times annual staff got dull, but you stuck with it, and thanks for your help! Cheryl Sipe — It was fun having you on staff this year and eating your cup- cakes! Thanks for your influ- ence on getting art from Ron- nie for our book! Alex Jones — You were definitely the photographer for our staff this year and we were fortu- nate to have such an expert. I'll bet this isn’t the last book you take photographs for! Tammy Thompson — You and Donna will have to learn to spell next year, even though you won’t be on the staff. Glad you were on it this year! Lesley Higgs — It’s been nice knowing you all these years and having you on the staff this year. Have fun at Va. Tech! Scott Ramsey — It was great sitting at your table all year and getting to know you. As well- organized as you are, you should be an excellent busi- ness editor! Greg Gruver — You’ve been a very special friend through the years and it was fun having you on the staff. But don’t steal anyone else’s Odie, please? Louise Arnatt — We sure wasted our time going to some baseball games this year, didn’t we? But it was fun, and so was working on the book with you. Good luck at VCU! Donna Carter — My confidante! Best of luck trying to do what we did this year! I know you’ll do at least as well! Janis Legett — I'll miss you since you’ll be in Illinois (and Indiana). Ball State’s lucky to get you! We've certainly shared a lot of memories — one of the many being co-editors. It’s been a long three years, but we made it! Mrs. Sims — Thanks for putting up with me and for being a good friend and advisor through the past three years. I hope the future yearbooks can be put together more smoothly as the years go by, but meeting deadlines makes things more exciting, doesn’t it? Ha-Ha! Thanks to everyone else who has bought one of these yearbooks. When you “check it out” I know it will help renew your memories of the 1984-85 year. Editor’s Comments 192 Well, we’ve finally gotten through another year! It seemed like we would never get it done! This annual could never have been done without all the hard work of this year’s staff. Tammy Thompson — Now that you are a senior, it’s about time you learn to spell. The staff is going to miss you next year! Michelle Rust — Good luck next year in Delaware! Cheryl Sipe Louise Ar- natt — The Senior section was a tough assignment. Thanks for all your help on it. Good Luck next year! Sandy Runyan — Well, only two more years to go! Good luck with the Student Life section next year! Amy Hemp — Good luck your senior year and watch out for cafeteria windows! Missy Hewitt — I better not hear you get a Ferrari for graduation next year! Good Luck! Scott Ramsey — You have a tough job next year being Business Editor. Thanks for working so hard this year, and keep it up! Alex Jones — Thanks for taking some real- ly excellent pictures this year! I’ll be looking for your pictures on the covers of Life someday! Good Luck! Greg Gruver — We sure have had some WILD times! Good luck next year at Blue Ridge! Thanks for helping me through some really rough moments! Janet Henderson — Well Buddy A, it’s been real. Thanks for helping out this semester with all your great artwork and all your typing. Good luck, and you and Goob, try to get some- thing done next year! Lesley Higgs — Hey Dude! I know this class wasn’t one of your favorites but thanks for all your work on ads and getting your spreads done. Have fun at Tech next year! I know you won’t have any prob- lem with that. Donna Carter — Well, now it’s your turn to put up with all the yearbook headaches. I know you'll do a good job. Susan Zapotoczny — Well, we are finally done with our yearbook careers! We sure have had some fun over the years! Good luck at Duke! Mrs. Sims — Thanks for all your help this year. I know it has been pretty rough putting up with all of us. Thanks for putting up with me for the past three years. Good luck with next year’s staff! Mr. Costa — Thank you for help- ing us out this year! You certainly will be missed next year! Good luck! World of Communications Class Mr. Runkle — Thanks for helping develop and take pic- tures this year. It’s been a great help! And thanks to everyone for all your smiles!
