Even though some people thought that this year was going to be just the same ol’ school year, I knew differently. It wasn’t just the change of authority in the yearbook staff, | don’t know, it was something more — something a lot more. It all started out like this... ... The school on a whole had a tense feeling. Sure our football team lost to Waynesboro the Friday before, but it was a good game. It was something more. The heads of all the organiza- tions were all running around planning some- thing, but what? That’s when I decided that it was - the yearbook’s assignment to report the obvious | | 2 , commotion, ‘““The Sting” that was happening at Wilson Memorial High School.

You are saying to yourself nothing special is happening here. Well never question my journalistic intuition. The first thing which was decided was we will dig into all the students lifestyles and decide what we came up with. Now capturing 986 students and reporting what they do when they weren’t hitting the books was pretty hard. But after watching students and snapping pictures, when you weren’t watching, we felt that the activities we chose described Wilson pretty well. The first group of activities were the ones which weren’t school oriented. Some of those were telling where the students hung out and had fun, we told about the newest fashion rage that hit Wilson, and told who’s dating whom and what party they went to. We didn’t forget all the school activities like Prom, the J.V. Show, and Graduation. So all in all, this section of the book told the inside story of the students and allowed us to poke into the turmoil which was going around Wils on. This allowed people to look at what is happening at ‘“The Scene.”’ ra; a 7 Todd McCray seems happy during lunch, as he walks in between the tables to his chair. | Scott Wakefield feels that Benny Higgs needs some healing before the play, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,’”’ while Tracey Arabaugh looks on. | Mrs. Shuey 1elps many new students in the eginning of the chool year find ut exactly here they should go. Here is one view of Wilson that isn’t seen too much, the bird’s eye view. During lunch Liz Garber goes over to have a little chat with her friend Alicia Ozyjowski. S The first day of the school year was a new experience for the eighth graders, it was also a ‘fresh’? experience for the whole school. The new state law went into effect, opening school after Labor Day, allowing students to have an extra few days of summer which every- one loved!! As the summer dwindled away, and September 2 rolled into view, the students came to school, renewed old friend- ships, and exchanged compli- ments over their clothes. In addition to the old classes, there was also an advanced place- ment chemistry class for twelve students, which started at 8:30 in the morning. Although there was a wider selection of ad- 7 TEL FE Mark Smiley and Mrs. Weekley review the many forms, which were given out the first day. 6 Back to School TARTIN OVER vanced placement courses and a tougher attendance policy, some things remained the same such as the ‘‘welcome back’’ assembly and the usual stack of forms including the yellow emergency card. As the week passed, the students fell into the groove of the regular school workday and fears of a new beginning sub- sided. Eighth graders were no longer overcome by the masses of people and discovered they had plenty of time between classes without being late. Everyone in the school, having adapted to the early hours of work, were prepared for a tough but rewarding school year. [Bill Nash] duct, are Troy Fitzgerald, J.W. Seay, and Rhonda Lewis.

One of the most popular items was suspenders, borrowed from earlier times, though usually -not worn over the shoulders.

Oversized sweaters, still as fashionable, caused girls to either buy one or raid their father or brother's closet to get the look. Last but not least, ten - button shirts and other fashions resembling rugged clothes worn in the outbacks of Australia made it big with the student body. Certain fads also reflected those from earlier times. Take hairstyles for instance. Guy's hair was normally worn short (some more so than others) and - girls were likely to opt for a “bob.”’ As expected, sending gifts to someone you care for remained an “‘in”’ thing to do.

The dance “‘wel- comed back”’ the old as well as the new. Many Wilson gradu- ates also came back to renew old friendships. The Welcome Back Dance, sponsored by the SCA, also The fun ones — J.W.

Belinda Miller and Kim Howard teach Robbie Washington, a former Wilson student, some new dance steps. 10 Fall Dances meant that the juniors finally got their long-awaited class rings. Most of the juniors wasted no time in starting the traditional ring turning. You can be sure that if anyone became bored, it was of no fault but his own. Some people were so imaginative that they started playing a basketball game witha jacket. The final score wasn’t reported. [Laura Foster] Getting into the groove is Sandra Bruce and Pat Bedall. Who’s dancing with whom? That’s what Shannon Miller and Scott Mawyer are wondering. During a slow dance, Timmy Sutton and his girlfriend, Shanna Smith, get close.

Scott Miller and Debbie Flory appear to be enjoying themselves as they spend their time together at the Homecoming Dance. 14 Homecoming Students started to celebrate the excitement of Homecoming with Spirit Week. During this week students dressed up each day to show their spirit. Monday was lip and mus- tache day, when the boys and girls were not allowed to talk to one another. Tuesday was ’50’s day, with everyone attempting to dress in the ’50’s style. On Wednesday, students wore Mix and Matches: all clothes were supposed to clash. Then, Thursday was Beach day, students sported jams and Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, and sandals. Homecoming Went Off With A Punch To add the final touch on the week’s events, Friday, students and faculty wore school colors and showed their enthusiasm at the pep rally. This really got the student body “PSYCHED”! Especially the Seniors who won the spirit stick and the privi- ledge to go to lunch five minutes early on the following Monday. Although the weather was ‘‘blah’’ the large crowd waited for the threatening clouds to break; and finally, one minute before the half- time events, the downpour began. People scattered for shel- ter. As the rain subsided they congregated at the fence to view the presentations of the court and literally stood three and four rows deep around the en- tire home side. The representa- tives were: 8th grade — Steven Henderson and Chriscilla Mil- ler, 9th grade — Jimmy Weaver and Sonya Ross, 10th grade — Todd Harris and Sandra Glass, 11th grade — Paul Brown and Amber Stallings. The court for King and Queen was Rhonda Fisher, Tammy Sipe, Kelly Whitmore, Mark Smiley, Tracey Coffey, and Charlie Davis. Tracey and Kelly were named King and Queen. As their names were announced by SCA Presi- dent Greta Mann, Tracey gave Kelly a hug, then she was crowned. The dance sponsored by the SCA, went off with a punch. The colors were: purple, silver, and lilac. The couples danced the night away and enjoyed music presented by D.J., Jimmy Lambert. Everyone shared a laugh or two as Darlene Merica and Jerry McDaniel provided the entertainment with a punch fight. Finally, when 12:00 p.m. rolled around, the couples gath- ered their belongings and left for a party or to take their dates home.

When the time came for ghosts and goblins to roam the halls, teachers deco- rated their rooms with pump- kins and skeletons while the students helped by doing the same to the rest of the school. The students also celebrated this event by having parties, such as the Foreign Language Club party at a member's barn. Then, the time for giving en- tered the atmosphere. Students showed their spirit of this holi- day by giving food to the needy. Mrs. Compton's class even cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for the faculty during both lunch periods. After this special holiday became the past, the most spirited holiday of the year came, Christmas. The faculty and students expressed their spirit of this holiday by giving and re ceiving gifts. Then Christ- mas break came and parties began to form everywhere for people who wanted to have a part in the holiday spirit. Fi- nally, the most celebrated holi- day of the year came, Valen- CELEBRATE coop times tine’s Day. Students began to send love notes to one another and to get better acquainted. The Student Council sold car- nations to these people who wanted to convey their feelings to someone else, and the Na- tional Honor Society sold chocolate-covered pretzels shaped as hearts to join in on the spirit. After these special days were gone, the students were left with memories to talk about and hopes that next year’s holidays will be even better.

Actually, they are abbreviations of tests that Wilson students’ take throughout their high school years. To prepare for some of these tests some stay up all night and get little sleep. For the four hour tests, like the SATS, some would go to bed early and get a good night sleep. These tests give the students a “‘sense of direction” towards their fu- 18 Tests ture careers. When asked about tests, the PSATS for example, many sophomores and juniors replied that if they had a second chance they would do the following: 1. LISTEN MORE INTENSELY 2. STAY AWAKE IN CLASS 3.

Projects Term Papers 21 “TRIPPING OUT” Over the years the number of field trips the school allows have become less and less. High school field trips are few and far between. So when there is a field trip it is usually done ona large scale, such as the field trip to the New York Thanksgiving 22 Field Trips Celebration. There have field trips to such places as VMI, Virginia Tech, and Stuarts Draft High School. However they may be few but most look for them just as in grade school. [A.

As al- ways there are the few in- dividuals that show athletic excelle nce in many different ways.

Sport Awards 33 PA NIOD sh Iisy 75 Wilson has had a fine history of academic success; in fact, there were so many to honor last year that the teachers were asked to start giving some of the awards out at other times. That one night of the Academic Awards Ceremony was only to catch those who had not been recognized yet. Let’s face it; we were pretty great! We actually had numerous nights when students received honors, like during the spring band concert, the spring Sergeants’ show, the Yearbook Picnic, the Gold Cord Ceremony of the NHS, the May meeting of the Augusta County School Board, a Genicom luncheon, and Ruritan ban- quets, etc. In fact, some of our students were actually recognized regularly; it got tire- some (they say). Well, maybe ..., but one thing is sure, there were so many that there is no doubt we have failed to name someone. If so, we remain respectfully and humbly apologetic. (T.

Tradition Class Night is an old tradition at Wilson. Unlike Prom which is in a part a junior event, Class Night is strictly to honor seniors. After walking through flower and ivy covered arches held by junior girls, seniors were presented in pairs. Previously girls had asked the fellows to be their excorts (not as dates but as The awards of Best Dressed and Most Spirited are presented by Keith Whit- special friends).

Some spent time at the new Sheridan and many went to the old stand-by’s like White Star Mill, Aberdeen Barn, Buckhorn Inn, and Belle Grae Inn. At 10:00, according to longstanding tradition, the court was announced. By that time the dancing was in full swing and the room was filled, both on and off of the dance floor. Big events like Prom are not over when the band packs up, however. Most students had plans for the few hours afterward. Parties are no less a tradi- tion and some people even changed clothes before leaving Ingleside, to be in their jeans and grubbies for the less formal fun. (Whoever heard of curfews on Prom night?)

The night was one of jubi- lation and one of sadness. Ricky Clark, the saluto- rian, gave the welcome. Mr. Clymore, Augusta County School Superin- tendent, was the guest speaker. Mr. Clymore said that he was very proud of the graduates accomplish- ments and he knew they would do well in life. Bill Nash, the class valedictorian, gave the Farewell address. He said even though each had a Members of the senior class turn their tassels marking their official graduation. 46 Graduation different background all had came along the same path through their journey at Wilson Memorial High School. Although they were all taking a different branch off of that path, they were not just coming to an end of their lives but beginning a greater part. Each of the graduates touched the lives of many on their journey. And each would leave a part of themselves behind in the hallowed halls of their alma mater. All of those who went on and all of those who remained, would retain their pre- cious memories of these special people. Brian Kennell and Kim Kendall march to ‘“‘Pomp and Circum- stance’’.

For those people this section is for you; now you can look up all those people you could never catch the name but still said ‘“Hi.”’ But alas, not all faces are alike. some are characterized by smiles, frowns, scowls, tears, pouts, grins a nd smirks. With each char- acteristic shows the individual moods and mannerisms of each person. Each _ face brought together made the nine months at Wilson more livable and more uniquely spe- cial.

Ae Terry Wayne Arehart Terry Arehart was called ““Teddy”’ by Lena Fretwell who went all the way through school with him and was one of his closest friends. The inference of the nickname “‘Teddy”’ is that of a conforting and cuddly sort of friend. Thus, with fondness and affection Lena and his other friends will re- member Terry. Terry’s family will remember he enjoyed television, models, drawing and painting. And, everyone will re- member how fond he was of anything to do with dinosaurs. But Troy Ross will especially remember the field trip when he got so excited because he was allowed to pet the horses. His classmates loved to push Terry’s wheelchair; they loved to make him laugh. Often Tony Roberts, Terry’s aide, would say something silly; and Terry would deliberately give him a disgusted look. Of course, when he did “crack up’, it was very taxing. In spite of his pain, Terry’s teachers and friends never heard him complain. Terry was a remark- able young man.

He learned about foreign ex- change from his older brother who came to the United States as an exchange student for two years with this program. Francisco chose to join the Hornets’ when he chose the climate that would be most agreeable. Francisco feels school is very different in Virginia than in Chile. Teachers here are more friendly than those at home. He says that he misses the beach and the customs of his native Chile, though. The most obvious dif- ficulty that many would feel to be a problem was the dif- ferent language. Francisco said that the language itself was not a problem but that the dialect was. Yes, thereisa Southern accent in Virginia. He participates in many activities such as sports in school and church in the community. [A.

This task is delegated to the junior class. Beginning with organi- zational meetings in January, they brainstorm upon pos- sible themes and colors. They also start to look at possible bands and locations for the evening. During this time they begin the great task of going through catalogs try- ing to decide upon napkins, glasses, invitations, and memory books. After all the decisions are made, they have to raise enough money to pay for such a gal- lant affair. They began this year by selling calendars. Then they had the traditional J.V. Show. Each junior was able to participate in some way to sponsor the junior — senior prom. Finally after all of the decisions are made and all of the supplies are purchased, someone must do the decora- tion for prom. This usually begins early Saturday morn- ing; and has but the faithful few. Mrs. Kiser and Mrs. Via were there to give their in- sights from past knowledge. Allin all, much has gone into this event before the evening ever arrives. (A. Cunning- ham) wed h Re Beginning to arrange the candles on the table are Sheryl Scott, Chris Garber, and Stephanie Small. After the calendars arrived, Tracey Arbaugh helps Mrs. Via to unpack the shipment. Returning to give the balloons to Mrs. Kiser is Stephanie Small. Juniors 79 A Day In The Life Of A Senior A day in the life of a senior doesn’t really get started until they meet all their friends in the school’s li- brary. Here everyone talks and does homework. In homeroom, roll is taken to see who is at school and who isn’t. But that’s not all that’s done in homeroom. Here, seniors study for tests they might have later in the day. After the homeroom bell rings, the real fun starts, LT GNA because it seems like there are 3 or 4 tests every day and it’s usually in the same classes! If you think it’s possible to make it through the day; your mistaken, because after school most seniors have a part-time job or they’re in- volved in sports. If time permits occasion- ally friends will get together and have a bite to eat. Usually it’s just home to the books and bed. (T. Sutton) Studying his English, Scot Mawyer dreads his upcoming tes!

Some would answer it very quickly and imaginatively, while others, having to narrow down their list to one choice, would become indecisive. Their responses, however, would be much alike. Many would prefer an exotic island in the Caribbean or South Pacific. Others would desire the mountainous regions of the world or the beautiful cities of Europe.

There are golf clubs, clubs you use to hit people with, Country Clubs, Club sandwich, club foot, and not to mention all the ‘“clubbers.’”’ However when you think of clubs at Wilson you think of fun and activities. The start of school began a whole new year of clubs, and offi- cers. Newly elected officers got together with their advisors to discuss new activities and fund raising ideas. Then, every other Wednesday the clubs would meet as a whole and get all the plans ironed out. Many of the clubs had dances in order to raise more money. There was the French club Mardi Gras dance, where many peo- ple dressed up and danced the night away in the decorated cafe- teria. Then, there was the Sweetheart Dance, where people got together in the gymnasium and had a Valentine’s Day soc hop. Even though many people don’t see them as a club, the SCA also planned one of the biggest dances of the year, Homecoming. The SCA had a very busy year not only with the Homecoming, but also the planning of the Academics Awards banquet. Also, to raise money, they sold carnations over Valentine’s day for you to send a special friend. As you can see, being in a club was time consuming. But not everybody can be part of ‘“The Organization.”’ There are more _ definitions The advisor for SCA, Mrs. Keslek help the homeroom representatives, Kamie Nulty, Travis Cash, and Kelly Kendall, hand out carnations for Valentine’s Day.

Cunningham, and John Wangler wait patiently to receive a name KNOCK’M DEAD The Academic Challenge team consists of more than five students that meet every time there is a competition. All of the members of the team use their special talents to help one another. The team met at least once a week for an enrichment session; and many times team mem- bers stay late to work even more. Both president’s team and Academic Challenge team participated in Knowledge Masters Open, a computer- ized team competition. Realizing the size of Wilson Memorial, both teams did ex- ceptionally well scoring above the national average. However, in competition with schools of a compara- tive size, the teams were in the top percentages of the state and of the nation. The first competition for the Academic Challenge was WVPT’s ‘Pop Quiz’. In the first round the team met E.C. Glass High School. Glass High School was fairly easily defeated, Next, the team met Fort Defiance High School. Since Fort Defiance is also a county school, there was speculation to the amount of practice that they had done. Although it was not an easy match, Fort Defiance was also surpassed. Wilson had made it to the third of four rounds. They then faced St. Anne’s Bellfield. St. Anne’s won the heartbreaker as Wil- son was trying to repeat last year’s championship. St. Anne’s went on to win the final round. Wilson was also invited to participate in “‘It’s Aca- demic’’. For the first time that Central Virginia was included in the competition, Wilson felt that they faired well and enjoy this fast-paced compe- tition. Wilson’s last academic competition was WAYB’s ‘““Academic Challenge’. The team was eliminated early in the fall round to county rival Stuart’s Draft. In the spring round the team first faced Western Albemarle High School; the team worked hard but won the match. After that victory the team faced Waynesboro High School another victory. In the spring final Wilson went to avenge an earlier loss and the mission was completed. This named Wilson Memo- rial High School ‘‘Academic Challenge’ Spring Cham- pions. Next on the task of chores was the final champi- onship with Riverheads. The winner of this match would be the local representative in the National Competition at Ohio State University. The night finally came and Wil- son again came out with another heartbreaking loss. Wilson came across many victories and a few defeats. There were many times that the team gave all that they had to give and it was just not enough. They all speculated on what might have but yet they knew that they had accomplished a great deal and had nothing to be ashamed of. (A.

As always, there was an Art contest for the students in the categories of fine arts and crafts. Winners were as follows: Jackie Vu — first in both fine arts and crafts, Michelle Boggs — second in crafts, Jeff Bednarczyk — second in fine arts, Crystal Wade — third in fine arts, ag: and Joy Knight — third in crafts. The club also under- took a massive job of dec- orating the school halls, which turned out to bea great success. In addition, masks were made, and water colors were used widely throughout the year. Finally, basket weaving was also a big part in this year’s program, as a few of the students taught the teachers the basic skills. Art Club 95 NEW DIRECTION New Band Director David Perry started working with the marching band in the summer, creating several marching routines to be used for the five home football games and one Riverheads game for which they per- formed. The Marching Band included 55 member’s and was conducted by J.W. Seay as Drum Major. They were in competition in Charlottes- ville and again in the State competition at Vinton during the fall. At Vinton they received a rating of ‘‘Excel- lent’. Then, at Christmas, they won First Place in both the Staunton and Waynesboro Christmas parade competi- tions! In Concert Band, many of the forth-four students quali- fied for All-County Band and played in the All-County Band Concert in January at Buffalo Gap High School. In fact, Lynda Jo Baber astounded the audience by her perfect performance of a solo in one of the selections. Other con- certs were at Christmas and in the spring with the annual Band Boosters’ picnic. This unit also performed in com- petition at Lee High in the area festival rating another ‘““Excellent’’ for playing Grade V music. Individual band students participated in solo and en- semble competition in March at Stuart Middle School. Many garnered ratings of ex- cellent, but only two came home with ‘‘Superior’’ rat- ings, Lynda Jo Baber and Jared Sims (a seventh grader at Wilson Elementary and Jazz band member.) The volunteer Jazz Band involved only about half as many students as the concert band, but they performed at thee two concerts in De- cember and May. This group concentrated their efforts on playing music reflecting the sound of ‘“‘Swing”’ or “‘Jazz’’, styles from the thirties and forties. The highlight of the year for most band members was probably the trip to Williamsburg where they performed in Merchant Square. Of course, the mem- ories are strongest of the hours they spent touring Colonial Williamsburg and “playing” at Busch Gardens. 96 Band Here senior band members are being recognized at the Spring awards ceremony.

FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Over the past years our FFA has really been involved in a lot of things and this year was no different. Right off the bat, the Forestry Judging team got the year going by showing local schools they were the best. The Forestry Team kept up the good work and won the Regional Forestry Judging competition last fall. While all this was happening the FFA was also involved in Public Speaking Competition, as well as air- ing a show on the local radio station WAYB. A popular event each year with teachers, as well as students, is the Venison Feast sponsored by the FFA. At this gathering the students cook for the teachers and quests. Another popular event is the Big Buck Contest, which was won by Travis Fitzgerald. To relax from their busy schedule the FFA had Ed Clark from the Wild- life Center come visit with a golden eagle. [T. Sutton] FFA 99 lalla awh, Ye INVOLVED When people think about Future Homemakers of Amer- ica, they think of a bunch of girls cooking and sewing. But FHA is more than that, it’s a club that teaches you the responsibilities of child care and raising a family. Plus it gives you an insight on the subject of marriage. The club was involved in many activities this year, in- cluding a walk-a-thon for the March of Dimes and a party 100 FHA for V.S.D. The club also held a party for a local Nursing Home and sponsored the Sweetheart soc hop.

SPEAKEASIES The start of school for some people means the start of a new Forensics season, and last year the Forensics team began early to get a good start on the competition. The first meet was held at Stuarts Draft, where Wilson was one of the three teams competing, and won second place over- all. Then they had a home meet against Fort Defiance and won. Those, however, were practice meets leading to bigger events. The All-County Forensics meet was the only major meet where Wilson was able to compete with double A schools. The team did very well there, tying for second all around. District meet was now upon them. There they did very well sending five d! The 1986-87 Forensics Team: First row: Bill Lang, and J.W.

Finally, at State Marilyn Payne and David Flintom placed in their events. But the Forensics team wasn’t the only group to win awards. The Debate team won many awards during the season, earning the title of ‘master debators’’. The de- bate team went to many tournaments throughout the year. Also, three teams were sent all the way to State, with David Gutschow and Mark Houff winning second all- around, and David Gutschow and Barry Meek each win- ning speaker awards.

Besides taking part in all the annual activi- Ligs SULChDs OS BDarlLLes, cookdays, and presentations, it also sponsored a Mardi- Gras dance which was a big success! Foreign Language week was also a big success. The halls of the school were decorated as were the teachers who supported the week by dressing up for the occasion. In addition to the activities during school, a trip to France has been scheduled for this summer for any interested students. Allin all, under the guidance of the four language teachers: Mrs. Kiser, Ms. Davis, Mr. Ford, and Mrs. Loomis, it has been a busy year for the foreign language club.

Re aeINE PROS These young people have something in common; each has an interest in attending the needs of the sick. So, they joined a club, Future Nurses, to expand their knowledge of the rapidly growing medical field. This was the second year of the Future Nurses Club. Ac- cording to the club’s sponsor, Mrs. Shirley Thomas (who teaches science and is a nurse), the purpose of the club, is ‘‘to acquaint the students with various roles of nurses and of other health care professionals.”’ The club is open to anyone interested in nursing or health-related careers. During the activity day meetings there were guest speakers, one of which was the school nurse, Mrs. Yoder, who served as a nurse in Central America as a mis- sionary. At other times, there were faculty members from the College of Health Science of Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley. They spoke about the paramedics pro- gram. At other meetings, members watched films to which Mrs. Thomas’ says the general reaction was favorable. Not pictured, but equally important to many students was Future Teachers or sometimes called SAE, Students in Action for Edu- cation, which was sponsored by Mr. Hampton Hairfield. The organization’s member- ship was small; thus activity was limited. These students traditionally volunteer to help in the media center and provide refreshments for the teachers on special occasions like during National Educa- tion Week. (L. Garber) WHAT IS HAPPENIN’ HERE? One could always tell when an important concert date was approaching. Prac- tice was moved to the stage causing nearly everyone to pause by the auditorium doors to catch a glimpse of the action. Often one could hear members humming or singing their favorite lines from a number they had been rehearsing. Although the ac- tivity increased near holi- days, mainly Christmas, as the Sergeants spread their good cheer with special visits to area elementary schools and churches, other events kept them busy. Year-round, they practiced selected musi- cal numbers. Occasionally, they had the opportunity to show their individual talent by singing solos or accompa- nying on a musical instru- ment. Such an opportunity was the annual Sergeant show. Consisting of various special performances, the WE pre ee ae a . ed cre relies ee ' 3 Singing Sergeants are Sharon Perry, Scarlett Kiser, Marilyn Payne, Stephanie McGlothlin, Lena Hen- derson, Rodney Zirkle, David Cash, J.W.

Looking ready for a day of shootin’ the breeze are “‘hillbillies’’ Chris Garber, David Cash, Chip Stratton, Mark as rald, Chris Williams, Barry Meek, Barry Robinson, and David Gutschow. Reflecting images of the ’50’s, the Sergeants hop to the sound of ‘‘Who Put the Bomp?”’ As Paul Gum and Buddy Thomas accompany on guitars, Mark Harris does his rendition of ‘Diggin’? Up Bones”’. Despite difficulties with the sound system during practice, Casandra Mickens and Jon Payne make an ex- cellent performance. Singing Sergeants 111 ne Seemingly unbeknownst to many of us, ror school was for learn- ing. There was a choice of either academic or vocational training. There was more to school than parties, friends, sports, and activities; somewhere in there, be- tween all that, was the pursuit of brainpower. Whether it was in the ol’ standard classes of English, math, and science, or in the elective courses which some strayed into due to interest, such as Photo- journalism, Band, or Economics, the students learned some helpful skills, and maybe had some fun too! : Some new classes and some inventive ideas were added this year. The newest class added to the schedule was AP Chemistry. Here, dedicated students came to school early to be in class by 8:30. With the addition of this AP course, some students had a heavy load of three AP courses in one day (and some had four if they were advanced in foreign language enough to take a fourth year, which is also considered Advanced Placement). With all the classes, including special education, almost all the students were able to find their interests, and most certainly, their needs met. Then each was, in his own way, attempting to be one of THE BRAINS. Debate done the AP way. Bill Lang, Jay Jones, Jeff McKinney, Bill Nash, David Gut- schow, Mark Houff, Rick Clark, and (not pictured) John Wangler argue the pros and cons of capital punishment during their AP En- glish Class.

There were 50 of 130 stu- dents in the Singing Ser- geants; and a large number of them, including the entire tenor section went to the Regional Chorus. To do that was no easy feat and required a difficult audition including sight reading. One of the students proceeded to the State Chorus, Chip Stratton. All of the performances went well and there were many touching moments, es- pecially the dedication of the ‘Old Irish Blessing’’ to Bobby Arehart at the close of the Spring Sergeants’ Show. This was the first year that choral music students re- ceived letters for their partic- ipation. They did not have to be members of the Singing Sergeants to get a Varsity let- ter; but could qualify after five years of participation in the choral program if they maintained a B average in class and participated in at least 90% of the concerts. The band had a new direc- tor this year in David Perry. He also felt he had a good year in that adjustments went smoothly and the marching band even took awards in the Staunton and Waynesboro Christmas parades.

TITLE 2. PURPOSE Q MLrwneit 5. OBSERVATIONS NEWS ADVENTURES The Science and Math classes at Wilson have ma- tured and developed greatly over the past year. For ex- ample, the addition of the AP Chemistry class, the Expo Science Fair, and only the second year of Math Enrich- ment have all added a new ingredient to the academic department. The AP Chemistry class which lasted an hour and a half each day (starting a half an hour before any other class, 8:30) proved to be an excellent decision. Nine students participated in the new area and furthered their Chemistry knowledge by completing the Chemistry book that is used at VA. TECH. Next, was the first annual Expo Science Fair. Each of the students in both the Chemistry and Physics classes set up a project and described the ideas and tech- niques behind the set-up. The Fair lasted all day and will be held annually, with its origination in this past year. Finally, the Math depart- ment conducted its second year of Math Enrichment. The club met on each activity day during sixth period. The students taking part in this club became aware of many different test-taking skills and a few of the students attended the JETS competi- tion at. VA.

The foreign language classes teach you to speak the lan- guage as well as writing and interpreting it. The classes also offer more background and customs. The foreign language classes try to involve their students in various projects with lots of entertainment such as presentations, movies, trips, and special days that are set aside for a chance to try new foods, those indigenous to the country.

A {ONAL (OVE BINS Even though English is a required class, it’s not just grammar and Shakespeare. Many feel at first that English is just another class, but there are many things that these students overlook. Whoever heard of learning words for a sixth word vocab- ulary test by using interesting definitions? Or breaking the monotony of daily class by having presentations. Or of learning phrases and clauses by using the metaphor of a marriage. Many also overlook the elec- tives that fall under the English department. Drama and Speech are semester electives that provide a creative outlet and an opportunity to express one self. The drama class is used to teach the fundamen- 120 English tals of drama and to enjoy ex- pression. The speech class focuses on the ability to speak well which is a neces- sity in everyday life. Another semester elective is Advanced Composition. In this class writing is the tool that is improved and is shown to also be creative. The last elective is photo- journalism. The major task that students have is working on the yearbook; however, students also are given the opportunity to write for the newspaper. The English department is more than just a classic play; it’s a place for expression and communication as well as the traditional curriculum. (A.

After a pie sale, the students treated themselves to dinner at the White Star Mills. Also, everyone in the Marriage and Family class found out how to plan for a wedding with a ‘“‘mock wed- ding and reception.”’ Mrs. Huffman believed that the students showed a good response to the pro- grams.

The physical education department this year had a new way of getting students interested in physical fitness. The program was set up to have the students take their heart rate and afterwards they did 20 to 25 minutes of aerobics. Then the students took their heart rates again. This was just one of the many activities the physical educa- tion classes pursued this year. The classes still partici- pated in the regular sports, such as volleyball, track, and they once again took the Presidential Fitness Ex- aminations. a Carl Adams and Karen Hedrick “share” a dance during the dance 124 Special Educations ee gis The second Ed. was Driver’s Ed. If you like A.M. radio, you'd love driver’s education. Once again this year, Mr. Bowers and Mr. Duke risked their lives and conquered new territories in the field of driver’s ed. It was no thrill for the student either. Nothing was more em- barrassing than driving five miles under the speed limit with a ‘‘Student Driver”’ sign on the top of the car, while being followed, by what felt like, half the population of the world. The third Ed was Special Ed. One special education class at Wilson was taught by 4 Z es lesson’s in Mr. Schuler’s Physical Education class.

For example, in the fall they let balloons up with their addresses on them, in hopes of getting a response. They also participated in the school science fair. And they did many in-class activities, such as building rockets. Other special education classes were taught by Mrs. Caroline Jones and Mrs. Shirley Scott. Students in their classes usually at- tended other classes and spent only part of the day in the ‘‘resource”’ setting. 4 heal oN Crystal Wilmont concentrates on peddling the exercise bicycle during her physical education class. fy ) i The Special Education class, here Albert Deaver, Bonnie Sherear, Yvonne Taylor, Anne Burke, Ms. Compton, Christine VanPelt, Matthew Harris, let the balloons up that they attached their addresses to in hopes of getting a response from wherever their balloons came down. | nial The Driver Education car is ready and waiting outside the school building. Special Educations Tough Stuti Being a business ex- ecutive isn’t all its made out to be, as many Wil- son students will now tell you. These students were Mr. Woolfery’s applied economics class. This class illus- trates a new technique in teaching in that the students are learning by doing and not just read- ing about a company. Mr. Woolfery said that this is why so many students enjoy the class and remember what they have learned. In addition to regular class work, which was not sluffed upon for other activities, stu- dents became investors in the stock market through the Stock Mar- ket Game. This game is a simulation of the stock market and gives students an opportu- nity to take risks on the exchange without actually investing real money. The biggest project for the semester class was to form an actual corportation. This com- pany had to first be chartered; and the ex- ecutive board had to be formed. After all the formulation paper work had been completed, the members had to de- cide upon what type of product that they would like to make and 126 Social Studies and Economics distribute. Both the companies decided to make games. First semester decided to produce the game Waynesboropoly. Waynesboropoly is a replica of Monopoly with local businesses financing the company by buying avenues. Second semester de- cided to produce Staunton — Waynes- boro — Augusta County Trival Game. This game included only local triva questions which the students made up. To finance their’ games the students had to go into the commu- nity and solicit ads from local community busi- nesses. The company gave the students an opportunity to experi- ence the real work of business. After all the games had been sold the companies had to be liquidated; a financial statement made; and the dividends distri- buted. Many students felt that they had worked hard to achieve finan- cial success as a busi- ness. As an accommo- dation for their hard work and community involvement the pro- gram received the state award Virginia Com- munity Involvement in Education Award.

Presenting evidence during the gov- ernment trial, Paul Gum explains to Judge Chuck May. One of the requirements for graduation in the state of Virginia is three credits of so- cial studies. The state requires that each student have taken World Geo- graphy World History, U.S. and Virginia History, and U.S. and Virginia Govern- ment. Each teacher, however, uses this as an opportunity to show students how history and government have ef- fected and will effect their students’ lives. Eighth graders are also given the opportunity to take civics as a study of U.S. Gov- ernment. Students also have an choice to take sociology as an elective. A special memory to all of those who paid any attention this year was egg- CITIZENSHIP + Is it really a civil war officer? No, just a history presentation. babies. These students had to care for their eggs as if they were their children. This meant early morning feed- ings and diaper changes. This also meant protecting their child from all harm in- cluding that of hecklers which could be more trouble than 2 am feedings. However, if a baby died the students was not off the hook! The child must have a proper burial and funeral. The students decided that parent- ing and going to school at the same time was not their idea of enjoyment. Even though it is a require- ment many students decided that social studies could prove to be very exciting. (A.

Each year, students used our green- house facilities to learn how to start, cross, and breed plants, indoors and out. If plants were not “‘your thing,’ maybe you enjoyed shop class, working with woods or metals. Or, if you were interested in Photog- raphy, you took Communica- tions I or II.

You could usually hear them shouting catchy chants to excite the crowds. Most likely you have seen them on the field or on the floor jumping and doing splits boast- ing of their team’s tal- ent. Their enthusiasm has often boosted the morale of the team players. Occasionally, they worked up a dance 132 Cheerleaders routine as an alternative to the traditional cheers in order to keep things interesting and new. That was no easy task for it required a great deal of energy and, of course, rhythm. When you thought of the part cheerleaders played in a sports attraction, it was easy to understand that cheerleading was definitely no job for mere spectators. As any cheerleader could tell you, you had to have plenty of school spirit and participate! You’re never too young to cheer as Coach Wades’ daugh- ter proves.

It even had three runners finish in the top fifteen at the State meet. The Girl’s team finished at a competitive third place in the district.

Having ex- uberant spirit and promi- nent sportsmanship added a dimension to the team also.

After losing the first six games, the team showed much improve- ment by beating Central of Woodstock which started off a five game winning streak. By this time the girls’ varsity team had earned a title of second behind Stu- arts Draft. On October 2 and October 28 Wilson Lady Hornets played the Lady Cougars trying both times to win the title of first in the Dis- trict, but each time they lost by a slight margin. After losing to Draft, Madison, and River- Me ei heads, Wilson moved back to tie for fourth. On November 4, after winning the coin toss the Lady Hornets played Madison on their home court, in the first game of the Skyline District Tournament. the first quarter was a close battle. Slowly, Madison pulled ahead by an eight point lead. With less than three minutes to go in the ballgame, Wilson moved behind Madison by two. When the buzzer sounded Wilson was still behind by two. This was a sad way to end a successful basket- ball season. [K. Tutwiler| i Sitting: Lana Ellinger, Ambere Stallings, Sherri Hen- derson, Regina Johnson, Tracie Bower.

TALENT IN THE MAKING In an athlete’s world people are quick to measure success by a win loss record, but this year the girls’ junior varsity was successful in many other ways. A sport is not entirely physical, it helps teach people to work together to accomplish a feat. These girls learned team work and how to depend on each other. They improved by learning to cooperate with each other which in turn improved their physical skills. They hustled throughout the season. Don’t step on the glasses! Vicki Arehart guards her opponent closely as they head towards the ‘‘ominous’”’ glasses. LEARNING THE BASICS Although the Eighth Grade Boys’ Basketball team had a better year than the Eighth Grade Girls’ Basketball team (the boys finished with an overall record of 11- 3, while the girls had a record of 2-9), they both had beneficial years in development of funda- mental skills. The girls’ coach, David Bartley, stated that his team im- proved their skills dras- tically during the sea- son. He went on to say the girls were very coachable and gave 100% in practice, as well as in games. ‘‘They will be well-prepared next year for competi- tion at the’ Junior Varsity level ...,” said Bartley. The boys, coached by Greg Troxell, were very successful and defeated Fort Defi- ance in the district tournament to become the District Champions. This is the first time in several years that Wilson has been the eighth grade champions. Accord- ing to the coach, one reason for their success was their impressive size, which they used many times to overpower opponents.

Overall, they competed strongly with all the teams in the district and proved to be even matches with out of district teams also. They had a very strong offensive team, which had good games against some of the best teams in the region. This offensive squad was rewarded for their efforts by receiv- ing a 1,000 yard medal. Mike Snead received all-district honors by making second team. His outstanding run- ning helped win him this award as well as helped Wilson through a rough schedule. Despite their losses, the players felt that they had established them- selves as a strong and worthy opponent.

Varsity Football 145 ... AND winners they were... As the season neared, things were not looking good for the j.v. football team. They were small individually and gener- ally didn’t have much experience on the high school level. Wilson’s first game against Madison showed that they had what it took to be winners, and winners they would be. At first no one paid much attention to them since they hadn’t won a game in Over six years. After winning their first two games, curiosity be- gan to rise, would they crack and lose it? Wilson’s next game against William Mon- roe was a hard fought battle; but after D.W. Cash broke his leg, the team just couldn’t get it back together. The next game for Wilson was crucial, it was to answer the ques- tion of their being real winners, winners that can bounce back after a loss. They did! The Hornets were winners and were proud of it. The final game of the season was against Stu- arts Draft for first place. Wilson at this time was 4-1, but they had takena beating all season from the bigger teams. Wil- son played a good game, but they couldn’t over- come Draft’s size and strength. The J.V. team ended the season with a 4-2 record, the best record any Wilson team has had in a long time.

A new coach means change and changes that Coach Bill Duke made were shown in new uni- forms, as well as the many new faces on the team. The team effort was shown throughout the season.

Coach Duke believed that the girls showed a great deal of desire and dedi- cation toward the games. Since the team was very young, skills they learned will help them to develop more knowledge of the game and will hopefully be helpful in seasons to come. (A.

Volleyball 151 Mablsy Its) WA} When this year’s basketball season began, it was going to be the last varsity basket- ball season for more than half of the team because it had six seniors. The team came into the season hoping to finish in the top three in the district and enter regional play, but they fell short of the big three by one game and being in the regionals by a hard-fought loss in the semi-finals of the dis- trict tournament. The Hornets started the season off this past year with a confidence- crushing defeat by one point to Buffalo Gap, setting the tone for the rest of the year. Next in line was the determined effort to beat Waynes- boro that came up short in the last seconds of the game, giving Wilson another close loss. Just when the team thought that its bad luck was over, it lost an impor- tant game by two points to Madison by a last- second shot. Even through the hard times, the team came out with a record better than five hun- dred and, through the eyes of the players, the team had the best sea- son of their high school career. [R.

The team had a 2-4 record, defeating Madi- son County and William Monroe. This year’s team had two new records set; one by Laura Thompson in the 300 hurdles with a time of 53.2 seconds and the 156 Varsity Girls’ Track other set by Karen Hed- rick in the triple jump with 30 feet 7 inches. The closeness of the team was a very im- portant factor. The team was like one big family rooting each other on and comforting each other when defeated.

When Coach Gei- man made this deci- sion, he must have known what he was do- ing, because it turned out for the best. The track team had one of the best seasons ever, losing only 1 reg- ular season meet. In addition to their win- ning season, they re- ceived runner-up in the district meet and for the season. They also placed 2nd at the regional meet and 3rd at the State meet. By the end of the sea- son, the coaches as well as the team members, knew that they could give any team that chal- lenged them a ‘“‘run for their money”!

They held a firm second for the rest of the year. Then tournament time came and the Hornets came alive. They de- feated Riverheads in the first round of the district tournament and then went on to defeat the first place team in the finals. In the regional tournament, they demolished two teams by 15 to 0 and 2 to 0. Finally, the Hornets en- tered the regional championship against Stuarts Draft.

To raise money was a very important challenge to us; starting early in the year to sell ads to any business in the Waynesboro, Staunton, and Au- gusta area who would help us. There was also the challenge of selling yearbooks throughout the year. There are many advantages to having ads in the yearbook, more than just making money for the year- bock. Think of all the excess space there is to have all your friends to sign your yearbook. Then, there is the advertisement aspect, with many sizes offered from a full page to a sixteenth of a page. To show your spirit you have the option to buy a patron’s ad for only ten dollars. Finally, for your convenience, we have put in your own personal index, so that you have easy access to your and your friends pictures throughout the book. With all these options given, there is no reason why you and your friends can’t be on ‘‘THE HIT LIST.”’ Trying to proportion a picture, Liz Garber uses the beast of the yearbook — the cropper. The computer room is where most of the yearbook is put together; here, Bill Nash types his copy for the yearbook, while Rick Clark proofreads.

Andas forall yearbook Laura Foster — Maddie. Aren’t you special? We’ve had editors I must thank everybody who has helped me with the yearbook. Only this year is a lot different because these people have been so helpful, I just can’t thank them enough. Amy Boyers — You brought a life to yearbook, and working with you to beat a deadline is a real experience. Thank you for being there when I just wanted to talk. Alicia Cunningham — Well, You’re next in line. You have only had one year’s experience, but it is time you take control. Good luck with handling deadlines. Thank you for the help with computers. Terri Cunningham — Wow, you didn’t make it through the year! You were a big help taking pictures for us and the work you've done. You have a great photographic skill, use it. Liz Garber — Well, you made it through the year. Good luck in Germany and all that you do. Thank you for helping me curse the computer. Robyn Gruver — Was the year that bad? I hope your life will be everything you want it to be, and may the cream you ordered make your life more fulfilling. Timmy Sutton — In a sense, I considered you a second year student because of all the work you did last year. | I’m sorry if I seemed to mean, but that is what I am good at. Good luck at DeVries. , Karen Tutwiler — We had a good time in both Mrs. Holl’s room and the yearbook room. Good luck in Singing Sergeants and all that you do. Keith Whitmore — You were a blast to have around. I’m glad you didn’t quit yearbook or else I would have gotten lonely. Hope you find out what you want to do, and go all out ’cause you’ll be great. David Willis — Well, Dapper Dave we’ve had some interesting times. Remember the wrapping and the customary milk shake. Have a great life and I’ll find out where you live. Rick Clark — You did a fine job of embarassing me whenever you could. But I valued your friendship, just not your opinion of my clothes. You better visit me at Radford or I’ll send you some poly-peanuts to remember me. some great times as the ‘‘Las Tres Amigas.”” Remember gossiping, whenever we could find the time, and the snowball fight. My parents still think you are an angel, but we know better... Tammy Heslep — The other member of ‘‘Las Tres Amigas.’’ I know people still feel you don’t go to Wilson but we have proof. You helped me a lot in everything, especially controlling Laura. Don’t worry about the future, cause you are going to have friends in high places. Bill Nash — Even though you felt Copy Editor was not prestigious enough for you, you did a pretty good job. Thank you for your helpful discussions on the human animal, and allowing us ‘“‘commoners”’ to be in your presence, the experience was exhilarating. Mrs. Sims — It has been an interesting year, even though rather difficult with all the deadlines we had to meet. Thank you for all your help and advice. Even though next year’s class will be small, they will be new so maybe the scare tactic will work. Mr. Landes — I know you wonder why we were down at lunch so early, so did Mrs. Sims. Thank you for not giving up on yearbook staff yet, we work better under pressure. Mrs. Holl — Thank you so much will all the help you gave on the computer system. I know it seemed that we were in your Class all the time. Well, we were! Mr. Runkle — We didn’t use the communication department as much as we did last year; but you were always there when we needed a urgently photographer. Thank you for being there, and allowing us the use of the darkroom without hassle. Everyone — A special thanks to all the people who helped us throughout the year to identify people, take pictures, and allowed us to take pictures before and during homeroom.
