What are we going to use as the theme for this year’s book? Mrs. Sims is discussing people’s walks; Missy is sitting at a desk, try- ing to iook productive; Me- gan is leafing through Sev- enteen and calling out ad phrases; Sandy is on the bot- tom bunk swinging her feet; Amy’s pacing and I’m on the top bunk fooling with my camera. ‘“‘What a Feeling” came up but someone, namely me, said “too flashy,’ “Let’s Go Crazy” (Amy’s idea) but that’s so overused. It went on and on and on, but finally, and | have no idea how anyone thought of it, much less who thought of it, but finally, someone sug- gested “Our Gang’’. There were no objections so bingo.

It’s activities out of school (parties, skiing, working, cruising) as well as those directly related to the Classroom (sports, clubs, home- work, lunchtime). Trying to re- port everyone’s activities is virtu- ally impossible, but here are some of the major pastimes the ‘86 school year brought: —— Hanging around the front lawn, and later the back, during lunch, — Cruising downtown on a Friday or Saturday night. — Working at Burger King, Hardee's or Micky-D’s. — Cutting up confetti for Boy's Basketball and Girl's Vol- leyball games. — Mechelle’s barn ‘‘parties.” — TRB’s and Eli's. — The G-93 Sweetheart Dance at Expo. — MGA — Running, for fitness and the Cross Country State Cham- pionship. — Renting VCR's and mov- ies, — “Testing” Mr. Landis. — Projects, projects and more projects. — Concerts such as Lover- boy, Brian Adams, Hank ur., Thompson Twins, Ricky Skaggs, Alabama and Charlie Daniels. — Dancing with the Stinger- ettes. 4 Student Life Divider Field shows are not the only thing the Band prepares for.

TTS AN ADVENTUR Ah, there it was summer, a time to stay up 'til the wee hours of the morning and not getting up ‘til your mother calls you down for lunch. Since all good things must come to an end, some of our Hornets decided to get an early start on the year. All the fall sports such as foot- ball, girls’ basketball, and cross country didn’t just come back in perfect form. There was a lot of early morning practices that made the students as polished and perfected as they could be. There were wither seminars, not to mention all the camps and ex- tra classes that were taken by the cheerleaders, yearbook staff, and band personnel. But you may ask, ‘‘Didn’t any- body ever work for a living?”’ But of course. Maybe you noticed some of our gang working at your favorite local fast food place. There were also a few fa- miliar faces on the Rescue Squad, not to mention all the dili- gent workers at grocery stores, sporting goods stores, and banks. Other people dedicated their time by doing volunteer work at the Waynesboro Com- munity Hospital. While some of the Wilson stu- dents spent the summer in lei- sure, it only took a little bit of searching to find others out working in the world. ecg Co ee % - we ge al ee as aii “% : oe While practicing this sum- mer beside Ken May, David Cook waves.

Well, we don’t know what everybody did over this past summer, but we did manage to catch a few students on their own time. Some people went to the park in Staunton for the fourth of July celebration, while others were across the country in Europe, Annette Ross didn’t wilt in the fourth of July sun in Staunton.

One of the students who went to Eu- rope even found himself a girl- friend! (It’s too bad she weighed a ton). But even if you just lounged around over the entire summer, which some people did, that’s fine because you were ON YOUR OWN TIME!

You’re kid- ding — it couldn’t possibly be the first day of school!”’ Everything seemed different on the first day of school. There were new faces, new teachers, a new principal, — even the paint looked new. Confusion ac- companied students as a power outage made it harder, if not im- possible, to find the right classes. After all, how easy was it to know when to change Classes in a pitch-black class- room without the basic benefits of lights or bells? After the lights came back and the electric clocks were cor- rected, students were able to get back to the grind of the day. Some discovered that they would have to sit through the same class again, as they had misread their schedule and ar- rived one period early for class. Others didn’t make such mis- takes, but were tardy to fifth pe- riod after being caught in the post-lunch ‘“‘rush-hour’’ traffic jam. Finally, after the end of sixth period, students were able to unjam their lockers, throw some books in, take some out, and ‘head for home. This presented another problem, namely finding the right bus in the line that stretched the whole length of the parking lot. The halls become crowded be- tween classes as the day gets under way. 12 First Day of School Lunch is a busy place on the first day of school. | OKAY, LISTEN UP FOR me, A FEW LUNCHROOM ANNOUNCEMENTS-- Kristen Bradley, Kim Meek, Tammy Thompson, Lucy Ramsey, Megan Heslip and Michelle Smith meet in the library before school. Talking about the events of the weekend are Gloria Hutchens, Bruce Houle, David Ledbetier, Howard Mill- er, Mike Dillon, Niklas Thoren, and Jerry Caldwell. First Day of School 13 BREAKIN Lunch time is usually consid- ered a time of rest and relax- ation. But for the half-hour al- lowed for lunch, many things were going on. For the under- classmen, a wait in the lunch line usually shortened the time in half. The seniors didn’t mind the lines, of course, because they could waltz right up to the front of the senior butt line. After receiving the glorious lunch advertised on the morning announcements, the fun began. Here originated a form of musi- After a long wait, students arrive at the front of the lunch line.

Chairs were a major issue, with students either swapping or switching these precious commodities, or being urged to push them in. Many times, when things got out of hand, a little talk form Mr. Landes would bring back order. If the lunch scene didn’t suit, then students chose to go out- side and either socialize or take a break from school. Any way you looked at it, lunchtime had something for everyone.

These spe- cial people had as much en- thusiasm about the Hornet's Nest as the students did as evident by the support given to each individual sport. Band boosters — must not be forgotten either. These people are the people behind the scene of WMHS's Band. They were at all the competi- tion giving moral support as well as giving financial sup- port. They sell pizzas and oth- er various items to raise mon- ey for new uniforms and in- struments. What would we do without them? Mr. Bower and Mr. Worley take a break from cheering the team. The Hulls are finding that the half- time entertainment is quite relaxing.

Where have you been?” “But isn’t it a bit large?” ‘‘That’s the way it’s supposed to be!” The look of the year seemed, at times, to be big, bulky, even sloppy. Bright color shak er knit sweaters and pants. Bright col- ors like crimson and royal blue with deep yellow. Vest sweaters were everywhere — even on the guys. Penny loafers were back 20 Fads And Fashions and the old white Nike and Con- verse shoes were also in style. Girls wore both ‘‘flats’’ and ‘‘oumps’’ or tapestry shoes worn with lacey socks. Summer weather brought wild cotton prints on shirts and jams (knee-length shorts for men and women). White pants were in — to go with all those vibrant colors. Recreation time was spent not in video games but by watching VCR movies. Popular were horror flicks, like Night- mare on Elm Street. Of course, we can’t forget about the par- ties that occupied a lot of some peoples’ time. Donna Carter’s pride and joy are her red high-top tennis shoes. Wearing bright colors Hands off Leanne Cahoon and lively prints is Deanna Washington's way of express- ing her fashion flair. Treacy Black looks like he’s ready for a day at the beach, not school. Darl McDorman’s look was not the standard at Wilson but certainly reflected a large portion of society. — Skirt lengths echoed the 50’s, loafers and designed hose the 60's, “and cut out shoes were the 80's addi- tion. Fads and Fashions 21 The Homecoming celebration began with spirit week. On Mon- day, there was denim day when people wore denim jeans and jackets. For the ‘‘punkies”’, Tuesday was sunglasses and neon day; however, on Wednes- day boots and bandanas made an open appearance. Thursday was the traditional green and gold day, which was followed by beach day on Friday. On game night at 8:00 Friday , there was a spectacular fire- works display as our new athlet- ic complex was dedicated. Then began the football game. Wilson led the Luray Bulldogs by a comfortable margin until the final quarter. With no time left on the clock Wilson and Luray fans watched a 14 yard Luray field goal attempt go left. In this close Skyline District contest, the Hor- nets stung the bulldogs with a 16-14 victory. At half-time the homecoming DEDICATION AND CELEBRATION court was announced. The class representatives were: eighth graders Laura Rode- heaver and Darren Pultz; fresh- men Stacy Chandler and Todd Harris; sophomores Scarlett Kiser and Sherman Snyder; ju- niors Susie Wright and Charlie Davis; and seniors Anita Sheets and Bernie Elmore, and Donna Campbell and Paul Kassemong- kol. Gloria Hutchens and Bruce Houle were chosen homecom- ing queen and king. Finally, on Saturday evening the semi-formal homecoming dance was sponsored by the SCA. The DJ was from a Rich- mond radio station. Approxi- mately 150 attended. The theme of the dance was ‘‘Cher- ish’’ and colors were pink and silver. Balloons bearing the theme color were taken down as souvenirs of the entire home- coming events. Trying to gain yardage is Mike Snead as Mark Brown and Howard Miller block. Joey Pugh returns a kick- off as Jeff Arey gets ready to block. The Singing Sergeants are ready to sing the National Anthem to start the game. 22 Homecoming Former principal Al Costa participates in the pre-game celebration. The Raiders of the Lost Ark theme plays as J.W. Seay portrays Indiana Jones. Bruce Houle and Gloria Hut- chens are announced as home- coming king and queen. The dedication ceremonies started with a ‘bang’ — a sky full of bright, noisy fireworks. Homecoming 23 GETTING DOWN There were several dances throughout the year, including the Welcome Back disco, Homecoming, a sock hop, and a dance after a home football game. The Welcome Back disco, sponsored by the S.C.A., was held in the cafeteria. Music was provided by a local DJ while yearbooks were distributed. Many students spent much time during this dance signing their friend’s yearbooks. At Homecoming, also held in the cafeteria, balloons and streamers were hung every- where. Music was provided by Jimmy Lambert. The Home- coming King and Queen, Bruce Houle and Gloria Hutchens, were not present at the dance because of previously sched- uled business, but they had been crowned at the game the night before. Waiting for a slow song are Ber- nie Elmore, Anita Sheets, Sherri El- more, and Alex Fisher. There was yet another dance, this time sponsored by the teachers to raise money for a new refrigerator to go in the teachers’ lounge. Although the profits were not enough to buy a ‘“‘new”’ refrigerator, the students had fun and the teachers got a ‘used’ model so everyone pro- fitted. The yearbook staff spon- sored a sock hop in January to raise money to help pay for the expense of publishing these an- nuals. This dance was held in the gym with music provided by a junior, Robbie Drumheller. Allin all, this was a big year for dances at Wilson. None of them ‘flopped’ so everyone who used a dance as a money-mak- ing project had a good experi- ence. Even more, all students who danced enjoyed a more ac- tive year too! Lucy Ramsey and friend, Leigh Ann Cook, dance with Tracey Coffey and Barry Meek. 24 Debbie Flory signs one of her friend's yearbooks at the Welcome Back Disco. J.W. Seay and Sharon Huffman dance a slow dance in our cafeteria. Showing his school spirit at the soc hop is our principal, Mr. Landis. Hollie Stallings dances with her friends at the soc hop. Sharing a special dance at Homecoming are Kevin Christie and Mechelle Zirk. 25 ACTIVITIES During this past year every- body at WMHS had some type of extracurricular activity. The activities included swimming, jogging, working in burger joints, girl and boy watching, working on cars, and of course partying! As you can see the number of activities was as broad and varying as the people at Wilson. The activities brought about many things including money, enjoyment, getting yourself in WMHS swim team: Francis King, Coach Rhonda Brewer, Diana Snive- ly, Kamie Kuester, and Karla Drum- heller. 26 Extracurricular Activities shape, and the thrill of competi- tion. Finally, Wilson had many standouts in the extra-curricular activities. These included Kamie Kuester going to the YMCA swimming nationals, and an- other unnamed person working at and getting fired from all four burger joints in Waynesboro. So in whatever the people participated, they achieved something during their extra time and their activities. Karla Drumheller competes in swim competition, such as the breaststroke, on weekends. Keith Ramsey enjoys the night life at Expo. A favorite activity of the stu- dents of WMHS is riding three-wheel- ers. Wendy Wiseman enjoys the live- stock show at Expo.

A guy drove half-way across Augusta County to his date’s house. Then he walked up to the door, rang the bell, and stood waiting for ten minutes before someone answered the door. Finally, when someone greeted him, it was his date’s father whom he was trying to avoid meeting. The father looked at him with an “evil eye’ and invited him into the house to meet his date’s mother. Her mother waiked around him several times, ob- serving carefully to make sure that he was gentleman enough for his daughter. At last, his date came down 30 Dates DATING IS Taking Her to a Movie Kevin Christie and Me- chelle Zirk enjoy the sun- shine after eating lunch and before heading into the after- noon classes. the stairs and said she was ready to go. He and his date walked out to the car with her parents watching to see if he opened the car door for her. Then they got in the car and went to a movie, which was the most boring movie ever made. Afterwards, she decided that she wanted something to eat. Therefore he took her to get piz- za and spent another ten dollars for her to stare at the food. After he took her home and got the third degree from her parents again, he went home with nothing to remember the night by, except an empty wallet and a disappointed heart.

After two weeks of hoping, praying, and a little persuasion from his friends, the guy of her dreams would show her just what dating was all about. After rushing home she noticed that she only had three and a half hours to do a major overhaul. While fixing her hair, putting on make-up, and deciding what to wear, she tried to talk her mother into chang- ing her curfew to 12 o'clock. So there she was, her hair was fixed — but not too perfectly; her favor- ite clothes were on — but not too dressy. At last, he had arrived. She hur- ried downstairs after her dad an- swered the door and tried to rush him out the door before her little sister showed him her new baton routine. While on the way to the theater she tried to break the si- lence by talking about anything that required more than a simple nod of his head. Then she was at the most embarrassing movie of her life. While she was sitting there turning beet-red, her date’s eyes were about to flip out of his head trying to catch all of the anatomy flashing across the screen. After the movie she really needed some- thing to drink. While sitting across from him in the booth she noticed that conversation was twice as hard as in the car. Well, now the date was over, and she wondered if this was what dreams were made of. Dates 31 WILSON WIN TERLAND Christmas was a time of cele- bration and joy. At Wilson, Christmas ’85 was a busy one. The weather was good and ev- ery scheduled event was held on time. Staff and students were rushing about, giving and re- ceiving presents. In fact, teach- ers received gift from Secret Pals — anew experience at Wil- son and a real boost to the teachers’ morale: The halls and rooms were decorated with the seasons. Symbols of the time were every- where, from a Santa on Mrs. Hol- ley’s wall to the Christmas tree in the annual room. Kevin Christie watches Tressa Fitzgerald play with her Christmas bear at the yearbook party while Don- na Carter hides. 32 Christmas The school play, Rest As- sured, was performed on Dec. 13. It was a timely addition to the holidays, having a modern ver- sion of the old ‘‘scrooge”’ theme. Other performances boosted our enthusiasm for the season. The band marched in both the Staunton and Waynes- boro Christmas parade and held a Christmas Concert in the Au- gusta County Library. The Sing- ing Sergeants performed at the district nursing home and sang in three concerts in area churches. Many of us were truly busy all season.

The other members were Darl McDorman as Lucifer, Robyn Miller as Mrs. Schmaltz, Travis Spradlin as Mr. Black, Jeff Wil- kerson as Jake, and Angela Rodgers as Mrs. Fink. Robyn Millier,as Mrs. Schmaltz, demonstrates the unique personality of a vamp. After working so hard for so long, a major depression hits when it's over. Darl McDorman and Susan Agee reflect those feelings. Jessica Morlock (Tracy Batts) aims the final blow to bash George Plew (Jerry Caldwell) in the head. School Play 35 LOV’N EVERY MINUTE With prom just around the corner and the junior bank ac- count running pretty low, the ju- nior class put on the J.V. show to raise some bucks and put a few smiles on some faces. It all started with the script commit- tee searching through their minds for any idea that was worth writing down. When all of the scripts were turned in, our junior sponsors (Mrs. Fielding, Mrs. Kiser, and What? A senior in the J.V. show?

After all the writing, sifting, and throw- ing away, the late night prac- tices began.

There were rapping and laughing, screaming and even a little “go-going”’. Juniors showed today’s fashions of area high schools, and a projection of our teachers in the fu- ture. The whole time the M.C’s kept the show roll- ing with some humor, often ad-libbed, of their own. After the show, the stage make-up was re: placed in boxes, the props put away, and a bunch of weary juniors packed their stuff to go home. It was sad, but there were a lot ot happy people when the class found out that 1200 dollars was made for oul junior class and the prom. In the “Superbowl Shuf- fle’’ Kris Jones sings as Willie Gault as other juniors play the Chicago Bears. Prop committee members Timmy Sutton and Elaine Smith hang theme banners before the show. Talented temporary Stingerette dancers in the junior class are Mike Gaulding, Diana Snively, Chris Dal- ton, and Kris Jones.

Everyone has had em- barrassing moments which ranged from falling in the halls to dumping lunch trays someplace oth- er than the trash can. At times what was said was more important than what was done. When asked, most peo- ple would tell you their most embarrassing mo- ment. There were others who were willing to share their friends’ faux pas and fallacies. In case you missed these the first time or had just forgotten, ‘‘Our Gang” was kind enough to revive some of the clas- SICS. Eating ice cream becomes a new experience to Scott S.

These were: Presi- dent Matt Garber, 1st Vice- President Shannon Hiner, 2nd Vice-President Ricky Clark, Secretary Greta Mann, and Treasurer Kristen Bradley. The newly elected SCA offi- cers for 1986-87 were in- stalled. They were: President Greta Mann, 1st Vice-Presi- dent Ronald Porter, 2nd Vice- President Ricky Clark, Secre- tary Shannon Miller, and Trea- surer. Of course, it was impossi- ble to congratulate everyone for their accomplishments. But from the looks of this ex- tensive report on the awards presented to Wilson stu- dents, members of Our Gang were people who strove to achieve success through per- serverance. Special Honors 41 Academic challenge members in front of the General Wayne Inn are: Row 1: Mark Houff and David Guts- chow. Row 2: Laura Foster, Anne “ACADEMICAL” Holloway, and John Scheib. Row 3: Jay Jones, Daren Gutschow, John Wangler, and David Flintom. PURSUIT The Academic Challenge Team and President’s Team were two groups of individ- uals who participated in “col- lege bowl” type activities, in- cluding the WAYB “Academic Challenge” and the WVPT “Pop Quiz”. Team members were chosen based upon gen- eral knowledge, speed of re- sponse, and educational abili- ty. Also, team members were chosen by their ability to work and to devote time to re- search beyond their school- work. Throughout the school year, and occasionally in the summer, the team met to dis- cuss and report on topics they had researched. Members could act as the teacher — teaching others what they have discovered. Games such as Trivial Pur- 42 Academic Challenge suit, Super Quiz, Trivia Fever (a computerized game), and current events gave mental exercise and challenge to the participants. Not only did the teams study but also they vis- ited art galleries, play produc- tions, artistic exhibitions, and other educationally en- riching hands-on exper- lences. The success of the two teams was directly propor- tional to the enormous amount of preparation. The Pop Quiz team soundly de- feated arch rival — Char- —lottesville and went on in the spring competition to the fin- als. The final contest against Riverheads was a decisive vic- tory making Wilson the Pop Quiz Champions!

THE RIGHT STUFE The 1985-86 debate team is: Row 1: Robyn Miller. Row 2: Billy Lang, Karla Drumheller, and Barry Meek. Row 3: Jay Jones, Jeff McKinney, David Gutschow, and Mark Houff. Waiting for a debate at TA are Sandra Runyon, Jeff McKinney, Travis Spradlin, Karla Drumheller, and Mrs. Beam. Putting together information before state competition are David Gutschow, Billy Lang, Mark Houff, and Sandra Runyon. “Did you know that dead fish don’t bite?” That pro- found statement was one of the many convincing argu- ments brought up in a debate meet. Between arguments of affirmative and negative, the team members stated their viewpoints so successfully that they went all the way to State competition, with some members taking home tro- phies. State competition for sin- gle A high schools took place -at UVA on April 25 and 26. Affirmative team members, undefeated throughout the season, were Mark Houff and David Gutschow. Placing sec- ond were Karla Drumheller and Jeff McKinney, who ar- gued for the switch-side. In addition, other switch-side members in the event, debat- ing either way depending upon the flip of a coin, were Jay Jones and Billy Lang, with a third place victory. De- baters Barry Meek and Ro- byn Miller placed third for the negative team. Outstanding speaker awards went to Karla Drum- heller, Mark Houff, Billy Lang, Jeff McKinney, and Robyn Miller. Also helping out at the competition were team coach Mrs. Beam and timekeeper Sandra Runyon. Debate 43 THAT'S WHal Friends Are For!! ey gives a touching All the seniors filed into line, preparing to take their walk through the arches held by the juniors. Guys walked through one tunnel of arches while the girls strolled through the second. As the two united, each couple joined arms and stood before the au- dience to be recognized as one of the ’86 seniors. After recognizing well over a hundred of the nearly one hundred and forty seniors, Mr. Leonard turned the cere- mony over to Mr. Woolfrey who presented the class with a speech that recalled some “outstanding” personalities before the turning of the rings. Next, vice-president Howard Miller spoke, fol- lowed by the naming of the senior superlatives, as chosen by their classmates. Finally the senior Singing Sergeants performed three songs and president Megan Heaslip ended the night with a fare- well speech. The audience of parents and seniors could not help noticing the blue ribbons on the se- niors’ wrists in memory of Shelby Varner. Here, ribbons� are worn by Jeff Lakotos and.

Class Night 45 SWOON TO THE TUNE Alright, there you were at Prom. You walked in the door; to the left was the re- freshment table, and to the right and all around were ta- bles. But you didn’t notice. All you saw was straight ahead and through the tables — the dance floor. To many people, dancing was the main part of the even- ing. Why sit down when you don’t have to? There was a great band there, Street Life, who kept the beat all night long and sang some of the popular top 40 and classic songs. Even the best of bands had to take breaks, but that didn’t stop you. As soon as the band took its break, tunes started 46 Prom playing throughout the sound system. There you were out on the floor, dancing to non- stop music. Even some of you, who were hesitant about go- ing out and showing your rhythm went out on the slow songs. The Prom was soon over and only a handful of people were there dancing to the last song. Of course, Prom’s end- ing was just the beginning — as many headed to one of the many parties which went on all night long. - One of the chaperones at Prom, Mrs. Kindig-Vess, dances with her date who just so happens to be her husband. Kamie Kuester and Steve Wine, and Amy Boyers and her date dance to one of the fast songs played by Street Life.

Another part of Prom was going out to dinner. Many people went to Aber- dine Barn, White Star Mill, Belle Grae Inn, McCor- mick’s or Buckhorn Inn. Some brave souls even went all the way to Char- lottesville. Then, it was time for the Prom. At the Prom there was a very romantic setting with floating candles, weaved ivy, and the lights turned low.

There was also danc- ing to a lively band. Later on, during the Prom, the king and queen were cho- sen — Kevin Christie and Wendy Wiseman. Soon Prom was over and people were slowly drifting out of Ingleside Inn to go to one of the parties that were going on.

The day you had been waiting for since your very first day of school. In your mind you imagined how it would feel on that very last day of school. The thought of never having to do the homework, lis- tening to the teachers, and try- ing to make it to class on time was just too good to be true! But finally, the day was here. The one you had imagined to be so great. This was your graduation day. How wonderful it was to think you wouldn't ever have to go to school again unless you were planning on continuing your education at a college or university. This was going to be the absolute happiest day of your life, right? Well, it was also one of the saddest. Well, how can that be, with no The closing speech is delivered by Valedictorian James Fitzgerald. ¥ 50 Graduation more lockers or riding the bus. When the thoughts and the memories finally hit you, it was hard, maybe impossible, to hold back the tears! As you were walking under the arches on class night, or up the aisle to get your diploma, you were thinking about the friends that have been with you everyday during school. At last the day arrived and you saw the sadness. Once all the diplomas were handed out, the graduation ceremony was finished. The graduates were mingling in the library while the tears began to flow. That is, the tears that hadn't already start- ed, because this was the time when the class knew it was real- ly over; one of the best parts of their lives was really over.

Losing Shelby only six weeks before graduation is one of those things. Shelby was an unusually happy person. In spite of holding two jobs during her senior year and having very little time for herself, Shelby always had a smile for every- one. To demonstrate her re- markable personality, below are her other answers to the questionaire: What will you miss about Wilson? Spending time with my friends at lunch. What was the funniest thing you saw happen at Wilson? The last day of school my ju- nior year, Mr. C split the seat out of his pants, “wres- tling” with Todd Hurst. If you could vacation any- where — all expenses paid — where would you go and why? The Bahamas for the sun and fun. If you could leave one thing to someone ... who and what? My attitude toward school to my sister Sonya. What advice would you give to underclassmen? Take each day as it comes. Have a good attitude. Good Luck ... Seniors 67 ONE STEP CLOSER Instead of counting up the days to becoming ju- niors, we were counting down the days to gradu- ation. As we looked back, we could remember all those times when our parents had to take us to the movies or to a sporting event which we wanted to see. They also took us to parties where games like “spin the bottle” were popular.

As juniors, all of those times seemed childish and immature for we had many other tasks and events to undergo. We had Singing Sergeants, band, forensics, and many other activities to participate in. Sports and clubs took up much of our time also, but the main interests in the junior class were preparing for college, preparing for PSAT’s and SAT’s , or taking up a trade at Valley Tech. Even though activities as a junior were very time- consuming, we still found time to have fun and we made the year one to be re- membered.

Aske d at what time was their curfew, the stu- dents responded in varying ways: Ginger Good- win — 10:30; Elizabeth Long — 11:30; Pam Price — 1:00. Some girls said their curfews entirely depend- ed on their parents’ opinion of their date. These were the consequences of breaking a curfew: Lori Comer got a lecture; Laura Foster said, “It depends on which parent handled it.”; Elizabeth Long’s parents would have taken her car away. Many said they were “grounded”. Others said that the times weren’t really enforced. Most stu- dents said they had some influence on parents’ definition of curfews; even so, they didn’t like them. Ginger Goodwin, of course, was one of the many who wished her curfew was later. Some with earlier curfews became envious of others who were able to stay out much later. Some said they didn’t mind curfews because they were reasonable. After all, where can you go at midnight in Waynesboro?

There it was — your Ju- nior year — and you thought, “only one more year and I’1] be number one in this school.” But it was a long hard year with all sorts of activities and fund raisers to keep you busy. Who would have thought it would have taken so much money to put on a dance? Granted, the dance was Prom, but why does a live band cost so much? One of the major fund raisers was the J.V. Show, which kept many Juniors busy for up to a month. There was more to a Ju- nior’s life than raising money though. This was also the first year some were able to drive to school and on dates, and there were plenty of school func- tions to attend. So after all the fund rais- ing, committees, acting de- buts, and extra-curricular activities, the Juniors no- ticed that the year wasn’t so bad after all.

You had a chance to learn about courses like cosmetology, nursing, horticulture, mechanics, auto body repair, com- puter science, office work, carpentry, plumb- ing, or food services.

A more family-oriented comedy that was popular and earned critical praise was “The Cosby Show”. Students followed the antics of the Huxtable family through re- alistic, modern situations of the 1980's. The ‘‘perfect romantic comedy”, “Moonlighting”, was brought back by popular demand for a better season. The 1985-86 television sea- son had such a variety of shows that even students as busy as Wilson’s looking for comedy, romance, action, or drama could find a show suit- able to his or her tastes.

You cram them, slam them, and they always seem not to open, especially when you are in a hurry. Of course, lockers were never proportional to your proportions. If you were 4'2” you always got a top locker; if you were 63” you always had to stoop into your bottom locker. But of course, lockers are important — how else could you explain to your teachers why you were tardy or why no books went home last night? As always, your locker was jammed. 90 8th Grade Looking closely, we can see that this locker belongs to a girl — name- ly, Tammy Thompson.

The Annex was not housed in the high school but had a separate building in the middle of the complex. The Annex provided for many of the high school- aged special education stu- dents in the county. The students were taught a variety of things. These included basic housekeeping skills and personal hygiene, while some learned job skills like Each morning the students have an hour to build puzzles and play other coordination games.

Some classes you can breeze through, while in others you struggle; some are fun and some are real pains. New teachers brought new methods and new ideas. Some ideas went over nicely. In Mrs. Harmon’s Chemistry class, students made, packaged and adver- tised a product like ‘“Pas- sionate Lip Glaze’’, ‘‘Dia- mond Auto Wax’, “Missy’s Lemon Lye Soap”, and “Ant Be-Gone.’ New classes also added a little variety. Mr. Woolfrey’s Semester Economics course gave students a taste of the business world. They invest- ed $100,000.00 of fake mon- ey in the stock market; they formed a student company in which they actually sold a real product and made real money. Although students didn’t always react favorably to new ideas, the true test of value was in whether they were “instructed.” EMICS 96 Academics Academics 97 FIGURES Have you heard about some of the figures in the math and business classes? Whether it is accounting or geometry, some of the students said that they are not at all nice to look at. While the computer stu- dents flowcharted and typed in what seemed to be a million programs the accounting stu- dents were busy trying to get their totals to equal.

Science classes involved more than mixing potions and building bridges and learning about the earth’s geographic structure. While students did these activities, they learned about such things as pre- dicting the weather, dis- secting “critters”, forming chemical reactions, and studying physical proper- ties of the universe. These classes included earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics, re- spectively. Students taking the courses gained impor- tant knowledge that helped prepare them for college or a job in the world of ever- expanding technology. Such a start prepared stu- dents to live in today’s world. The experience made them “good to go”, according to a favorite phrase of Mrs. Harmon, who taught chemistry and physics.

Each class involved its own studies. In Sociology students were required to take care of egg-babies. Government classes had to memorize presidents, do daily current events, and along with World Geogra- phy, had to do projects. Some had mock trials and speeches or “‘presenta- tions.” No matter what the class involved everyone was required to take sever- al of them to graduate.

Miss Karen Davis joined the Foreign language de- partment this year as a French teacher. She taught two French I classes in the afternoon. Also here only half a day, Miss Barringer had all three Latin levels of classes in the afternoon. Mr. Hollen had upper level French classes and three lower level Spanish classes while Mrs. Kiser had mostly upper level Spanish classes. Some of the activities each language class partici- pated in were national con- tests. The scores were above the national average every time! In addition to speeches and other presen- tations, classes also wrote and performed commer- cials in their respective sec- ond languages. French classes went on a field trip to Roanoke to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Latin students went to Charlottesville to compete in a “Classics” contest. Spanish students went to Richmond to see the Ballet Folklorico. Cooking was reserved for once each month or on spe- cial occasions. That made the occasions more special.

The students worked in the agriculture shop locat- ed down in the shop build- ing, using power machinery including band saws, drill presses, table saws, and planers. Of course, they also had to exercise their elbows by sanding and saw- ing with hand saws. Final- ly, when the students w eren't working in the shop, they were out in the greenhouse. After learn- ing the essentials of plant care such as fertil- ization and watering schedules, the plants were sold. : . } Agriculture 111 WHAT'S COOKING? | Home economics encom- passes so much more than just cooking and sewing. It strives to help students im- prove the quality of their lives, both now and in the future. The courses offered this year were Teen Living, Life Management Skills I and II, and semester courses such as Food Management, Child Development, Cloth- ing Management, and Marriage and Family. Students enjoyed the many kinds of projects they did. They especially liked learning new crafts, like stenciling and basket weaving, as well as learning certain basic skills. There were approxi- mately 65 students en- rolled in Teen Living, 35 in LMS I II, and 25 in se- mester courses. Although the Home Eco- nomics courses were tradi- tionally taken by girls, there was one male who 112 Home Ec. participated in Teen Living this year. “This is a shame, because the program has so much to offer guys, as well as girls!” commented Ms. Huffman, one of the teach- ers of the course. In fact, the school has decided to offer a course next year called Family Life Manage- ment Skills, designed for 11th and 12th graders and geared toward males.

Physical Ed. Drivers Ed. Special Ed. Some classes were spe- cialized. Physical Educa- tion involved first aid such as CPR practices, as well as sports and conditioning or dancing. Driver’s Educa- tion classroom instruction was taught by the same teachers, Mr. Geiman, Miss Harlow, Mr. Schuler, Mrs. Taylor, and Mr. Wa- leski. Of course the “behind the wheel” driver’s educa- tion was taught by either Mr. Bowers or Mr. Duke, and they even took stu- dents as far as the testing facility in Fishersville or up Rhonda Roadcap sanitizes the the interstate. Special Education classes of various types were housed here as well as at the Annex building. These classes, like physical education courses, were geared to suit the needs of the students. Some special education students needed specific kinds of help at- tainable through the Re- pen Se BESSA Oe source Teachers, Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Shirley Scott. These students went to regular classes with oth- er students and only went to their resource teachers for certain courses. During the average day, however, Mrs. Jones taught several levels of math, language arts, and science; and Mrs. Scott taught several levels of social studies and li guage arts as well.

The art classes worked in numerous me- dia including acrylic watercolors, plaster of paris (masks); they even etched designs on glass by creating artisic images on mirrored glass. In addition the classes painted the school mailbox as well as the new press box at the sports complex. Musical Singing Sergeants were not the only choral music group at Wilson. All day long Mr. Tate conducted vo- cal groups, mixed chorus,and eighth and ninth grade chorus. The ultimate honor was to audition for Sergeants and make it but with new diploma requirements enrollment dropped in spite of the interest level. 118 Art and Music jawn Dofflemeyer practices dancing to The Rhythm of the Night”.

Each allows stu- dents to place other stu- dents in leadership positions to work on projects. Also, clubs allow people to learn a little ‘extra’ about the class from which they stem. These clubs play impor- tant roles in student life. For example, the SCA is the stu- dent government and one of their main jobs is the prep- aration of Homecoming. The FFA sells fruit but teaches parliamentary procedure to its members. 120 Clubs Helping Mrs. Stoner with the audi ovisuals is a responsibility of the FTA.

The Art Club has been successful ever since that time. This year the Art Club has been very busy. Our Art Club paint- ed the school mailbox again. They made masks, and sold small magnetic tiles.

Wilson’s band was out- standing even though the number of band students decreased. The musi- cians received many “‘ex- cellent” ratings in compe- titions such as the James Wood Invitational, the Charlottesville Caval- cade, and the VBODA Marching Band Festival. This year’s band accom- plished another great feat, earning a superior rating. This was the first superior rating ever awarded in the history of WMHS! In addition to competitions, the band participated in the local parades — both in Staun- ton and Waynesboro. Besides Wilson’s con- cert and marching bands, there was a jazz band. This band was a lot more casual and relaxed, with uniforms of jeans and T- shirts. They participated in the Tri-State Spring Jazz Festival at JMU and received an “excellent” rating. Making this ac- complishment even more impressive, the jazz band had only twelve mem- bers, competing against larger bands. Band 125 ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE Accepting the challenge was an appropriate motto of the Future Farmers of America. The FFA par- ticipated in tree judging and live- stock judging competition, plus the federation round-up. The Future Farmers of America continued their annual citrus fruit sale which gave them the chance to compete against each other for the most fruit sold. Another tradition that was again upheld was the veni- son feast. Club members prepared the deer for teachers and staff, guests, and finally themselves. Keith Ramsey feeds and waters his show steers that he raises as a project. Randy Boyers passes the fruit in a “fire line” to Charlie Snyder and D.W.

BUT NOT SAD... This year, the Future Homemak- ers of America, headed by Tracie Bower, spent most of the year con- centrating on founding a chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD). They convinced many stu- dents to sign contracts with their parents about not drinking and driving. They also made a televi- sion commercial for channel 35 in Harrisonburg. In the fall they held a reception 128 for parents and teachers in the home ec. living room. In May, they had a banquet and a fashion show for the FHA students and their par- ents, which they held in the cafete- ria. Each of these events were for large numbers of people. The re- ception involved over 60 faculty guests. The banquet involved more than twice that many. No doubt the organizers learned plenty from those experiences.

This year was especially active with parties, field trips and national con- tests. The sponsors of the club, Mrs. Kiser, Mr. Holland, Mrs. Bar- ringer and Miss Davis spent a lot of their time on the road traveling to Roanoke and Richmond to show the members examples of how their respective language cultures are. Miss Davis and David Browning seem to be having a foot race into MacDonalds on the French Club’s way back from a cultural play in Roanoke.

NHS pecus SUCCESS! Throughout his or her high school years, every- one strived to achieve the goal of success, either by making good grades, standing out as a pre- dominant leader, or hav- ing exemplary character. These were the character- istics that the members of the National Honor Soci- ety possessed. The NHS members also performed many duties throughout the year. First, they helped students dur- ing the school year by tu- toring and giving help to those who requested it. Next, they undertook many tasks in the com- munity such as adopting a grandfather at the Dis- trict Home. When gradu- ation came, the members provided the ceremony with auxiliary ushers. Moreover, they participat- ed in many other aca- demic and cultural events within the state. The NHS also partici- pated in fund-raising ac- tivities. They sold spirit hats at football and bas- ketball games. The mem- bers made chocolate- covered pretzels for Val- entine’s Day. The money that was made from these fund-raisers were given out in scholarships to two outstanding seniors at the end of the year. As you can see, the Na- tional Honor Society is no different than any other club except that they in- duct people who excell at what they do and that could be anyone who tries. NHS 1355 ACTIONS Speak Louder Than Words Because teaching re- quired an enormous amount of time and ener- gy, the SAE club was dedi- cated to helping teachers. Under the direction of Mr. Hairfield, the Student Ac- tion in Education club provided teachers and staff with assistance. Each day of the week, two members were as- signed to help Mrs. Stoner with the audio-visual: equipment. On Mondays, Joe Davis and Ricky Clark were appointed to assist with the duties. Michelle Smith and Kristen Brad- ley worked on Tuesdays, while Mark Houff and Jeff McKinney assisted on Wednesday. Every Thurs- day, Tammy Thompson and Donna Carter were scheduled to help. On Fri- Taking a TV from the library to a homeroom as part of her SAE duty is Scarlett Kiser. 1354 SAE Club days, Tabitha Johnson and Scarlett Kiser set up the equipment. Megan Heaslip served as a sub- stitute, helping Mrs. Ston- er when any other mem- ber could not come. In ad- dition, the SAE ushered at parent-teacher confer- ences. The club gave treats to teachers to show its ap- preciation and respect. After going through the process of preparing and administering an exam, teachers were pleasantly surprised to receive a treat from the SAE club. Holiday occasions, such as Valentine’s Day, brought even more thoughtful presents. Fi- nally, to honor Wilson’s retired mentors, the club gave Christmas cards. Joe Davis steers a television down the hall en route to a homeroom. On a Monday, Ricky Clark moves a television as Mrs Stoner reads where to take it. Pushing a TV through the li- brary on a Friday morning is Tabitha Johnson. Mrs. Stoner helps quide audio- visual equipment as Donna Carter assists.

But you didn’t have to stand out in the halls to hear the Singing Sergeants; you could have gone to one of their con- certs. One of their first concerts was during Christmas time. They also performed at neighborhood churches as well as Wilson. Next, the Ser- geants held their spring con- cert, “The Rhythm of the Night’’. There the seniors and some juniors sang so- los and duets. As if that wasn't enough, there was rapping, some fast tunes The 1985-86 Singing Sergeants are: Row 1: Kelly Whitmore, Don- na Sullivan, Tabitha Chandler, Lena Henderson, Walter Hender- son, J.W.

By all means, that was not the end of the Singing Ser- geants for the year. They had a few more concerts, includ- ing one at the General Wayne Motor Lodge. There- fore, hanging out in the halls was not the best place to hear the Singing Sergeants, but out in the audience, where you got the whole per- formance.

Coaches and teammates became our good friends and Waynesboro and Lee our worst enemies. Competi- tion on the field was fierce sometimes, especially when the person you were facing was wearing purple and gold. Even if it wasn’t the Giants on the other team, there was still some strong rivalry in- volved. In volleyball, River- heads provoked the Hor- nets; in basketball (girls’ and boys’) Stuarts Draft was im- portant; the softball team gets fired up when facing Wm. Monroe or Madison. There were times when everything ‘‘clicked’’, as was the case of the Cross Country team. And times when it seemed Fate was cheering for the other side, like the football season. Maybe one day was special, like when the basketball team defeated Fort for the first time in 13 years. And of course, there is at least one game best forgotten. 138 Sports Divider Cheerleaders like Megan Heaslip are always enthusiastic, even on hot game nights. aaa “S .

They promoted school spirit by making posters and bulletin boards, selling ribbons and buttons, giving special surprises and treats to the players, sponsoring “spirit weeks,” leading su- per pep rallies, and of course cheering at all the games. Through their hard work, dedication and spirit, we had some really exciting times!

The cre- . ator, coordinator, and captain, Kristen Bradley explained, “The idea came from the BYU “Conger- ettes”.

Wilson was de- feated by Lee High, 27-7. This is the end of the book and also the ‘end’ of the year. There was so much to experience, and now, so much to remember. We hope this book serves as a re- minder of all the good times. After all, it is your memories we have tried to compile in this annual. Take time to rer- ead the copy, laugh at the pictures and remember the °85-’ 86 school year. And, good luck in your fu- ture adventures. The Annual Staff 190 Closing “And the winners are...” Matt Garber and Cindy McDorman announce the Class Flirts. Closing 191 Well gang, it’s over. Gosh. That seem so final. I’d like you to know I have tears streaming down my face and I can barely see to write this. I’m going to miss you all. I’m sure what- ever you do in life will be a success. This book stands as proof of that. Kristina Bryant — Though you weren't here but for a few months, you did your part. Thanks for the pizzas! Amy Hemp — Good Luck next year, wherever you are. Remember the good times. Missy Hewitt — I really envy your taste in clothes. Although that doesn’t relate directly to the annual, your “style” will always stand out in my mind. Tammy Heslep — “Quiet but diligent.” You did a fine job and I really appreciate it. Laura Foster — You proved you are more than just “Alan’s sister.” You are an outstanding individual and I wish you the best. David Ledbetter — Thanks for just about everything. You really came through when we needed you for pictures, processing and just run- ning errands. (Do we owe you gas money”) Best of luck at VMI. Ricky Clark — Yes, I know how to comb my hair! You did an excel- lent job with copy. Bill Nash — “Stud” (I told you I would put that in.) Thanks for your “innovative” ideas and for providing the entertainment. Skip Nash — See, it wasn’t so rough! I’m glad you were on the staff. Enjoy your future. Tressa Fitzgerald — You took on the “senior class” and there are a lot of people who are relieved that you did, including me. I never would have gotten done had you not been so “pushy.” Go after your dreams, I know how much they mean to you. Megan Heaslip — “Mee-gan.” Thanks for the theme. Did you ever imagine that a single thought and a little work could produce this? You’ve got what it takes, so take it far. Kevin Christie — The stories I could tell about you... but all want to say is thank you for being a friend. Behave in the Marines. Sandy Runyon — She’s all yours. Really put your talent to work and “sting” the Hornets’ Nest. Mike Baber — Thanks for lis- tening to me gripe. Oh, and you dida AHH H BS: 1 } ; ete mh 1 Ep1itor’s NOTE —— good job with pictures also, when you got around to it. Mr. Runkle and the Communi- cations Department — Sometimes you were so sarcastic... But you did help and I do appreciate it. Mr. Landis — Please ignore any derogatory remarks towards you and your policies. In four years, no one will know the difference. Keep try- ing. Everyone — Thank you for be- ing a part of my life. I will always cherish my memories of Wilson and I hope you will also. Scott S. Ramsey — No, I didn’t forget you. I just saved the best for last. You are “the best.” Without you, there wouldn’t be any copy in this book. I really wish you were go- ing to JMU with me, but W M will be excellent for you. Don’t settle for anything less than the “top” — that’s where you belong. Mrs. Sims — You don’t know how much I will miss you or how much you have done for me. I truly enjoyed the three years I’ve spent under your “guidance.” You’ve been an excellent friend and I can only wish you the best.
