AFTER HOURS For many students, the day was not over at 2:55 PM. 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.

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.
