It begins with an idea that is based on something that the entire school can relate to. This year, as we move closer and closer to the dawn of a new era, it is appropriate that the theme represent what North Cross experiences during the course of a school year. "The School Year" begins with the Opening Ceremony in the Carter Athletic Center, and ends with the Closing Ceremony and Commencement. In between these important dates is what makes us a whole. We grow every year; from Pre-K beginning the journey, to Seniors ending a long adventure, and embarking on another challenge. As a school, North Cross moves forward, taking the next step, making the extra effort, and going that extra mile. Academically, we are constantly breaking our own boundaries and setting new ones. In the classroom, we dot our i's and cross our t's, w hile we accept that the teacher may put an "X" next to some of our answers. On the field, we cross the finish line and score the goal. Seniors cross over and become the past, making way for a new generation of North Cross students to join our ow n special community. We, the editors, feel that it is only appropriate that the 1998 Compass reflect these crossings at North Cross. "Crossing Horizons" represents not only all of the changes and advancements of N orth Cross year after year, but also the belief that as a body, North Cross School is a special place, which will continue to change for the better, and w hich will, over the course of every school year, cross the horizon which will take u s farther than we have ever gone before. The Editors-in-Chief, ~~~ Lindsey W ise John French Opt'nin g 3 �Right: The Compass staff is epecially glad this year to dedicate the yearbook to our friend Paul. Paul stays late every day, cleaning up the school and making it ready for the next day. Paul, always a constant source of happiness and chatter, emptied the yearbook room's trash can every day during the school year. Paul, we here and now apologize for the messiness of that room. Paul Arrington is a special person, a one of a kind, and we are all priviliged to have him as our one and only cleaner, fixer, sports enthusiast, and more importantly, as our good friend . Thank you, Paul, for everything you do. 4 Dedication - Mr. Paul Arri ng ton �There are few times in the course of life when you come across a person of such high caliber and cheerfulness whom you will remember as long as you live. The person who has made an impact on your life, the person who is always there, doing the dirty work for you, and talking to you when you are down. There is one such person, here at North Cross. He may not teach a class, he inay not coach a sport, and he may not sit behind a desk, but this man has one of the favorite faces of North Cross School. He cleans up our mess, fixes what is broken, and works hard even while students and faculty are on vacation. He is always a pleasant sight to students, teasing them about their love life, talking up a storm about sports (and especially against Duke basketball), and hanging out with students. As a student body, we rely on him more than we realize. He cleans up where we go wrong, he has done more to serve the school than we can think of, he teaches us lessons about life, and to all of us, he is a friend. For this reason, it is with great pleasure and admiration to dedicate the 1998 North Cross School Compass to ...

This past summer was no exception. Students traveled to the four corners of the Earth, while others preferred to stay at home to catch up with friends or go to the beach. North Cross students traveled to Arizona, to Spain and France, and retraced a part of the Lewis and Clark expedition. North Cross students also went solo on trips to Africa and elsewhere across the globe for fun or for school-related projects. And while just about everybody managed to get in some television and movie watching, some "fun in the sun", a few summer reading books, and some great memories, most seemed to agree that by the time the end of August rolled around it was time get back to school.

Sum mer 9 �This summer, ten of North Cross School's finest young men headed for the open expanses of the West. Under the leadership of Dr. Jim Palmieri and Chris Stoeckle (a veteran of the first Western Ecology trip four years ago), Jason Burt, Trey Clower, Stephen Hamilton, Michael Lanahan, Greg Lang, Kevin Lang, Peter Manetta, Peter Ostaseski, Michael Stoeckle, and Joe Thielecke climbed the granit faces of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, hiked the snowfields of Mt. Timpanagos in American Fork Canyon, Utah, mountain-biked the hot desert sand of Canyonlands and Arches National Monument, white-water rafted the Snake River, and experienced the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. The purpose of the Summer Ecology Program is to allow each student to experience, hands on, the important factors that make up the science of Ecology. This summer it involved studies in several of the western states. The course was divided into a week of mountain ecology, a week of desert ecology and a week of canyon ecology. Each student was responsible for not only understanding the varied habitats examined throughout the three weeks, but also for a detailed research project that culminated in the writing of a journal and an oral presentation of their research to the group. In keeping with the philosophy that one must put back into the system at least what one takes out, a philosophy that Dr. Palmieri holds dear, students donated four days of their time to the Grand Canyon National Park Service. Students worked from sunrise to late afternoon with the Grand Canyon's revegitation and restoration program in helping to return disturbed sites to their natural state. With great gusto and enthusiasm, the 12 volunteers, using pick and ax, removed over 17,000 plants foreign to the Grand Canyon habitats. Needless to say, the work was difficult but very rewarding. All volunteers have been asked back by the program's director. 10 Western Ecology Trip Above: Summer Ecology students Michael Stoeckle, Pe ter Ostaseski, Peter Manetta, Joe Thielecke, Trey Clower, Stephen Hamiltion, Jason Burt, Greg Lang, Kevin Lang, and Michael Lanahan sitting in the cool afternoon shadows in Arches National Park. This year's program was an outstanding success. Students had many new experiences and met inany new friends. Dr. Palmieri feels that what their eyes have seen and bodies have experienced will change the way they approach both science and their appreciation of our great enviromental resources. 1 �Above left: The summer ecology group of ten, with assistant leader Chris Stoeckle, about to enter the Bright Angel Trail into the Grand Canyon.

Horizons places, the unforgetable friends made, and a great tour guide, Roberto, made the trip absolutely fabulous. The group landed in Madrid and then traveled to Segovia where they spent the night. Next it was on to Avila and Saragosa, where they lazily moved from cafe to cafe, and drank their weight in coffee. The most favorite place visited on the trip was Segovia, perhaps because it was the first stop. They then traveled into Carcassonne, France, for a memorable ride on a carrousel that evening. Afterwards they devoured crepes while inside a majestical castle. Another one of the highlights of the trip was visiting Monet's Gardens about an hour outside of Paris. Though is was raining, it was impossible to miss the beauty of the timeless gardens. Throughoutthetrip,whetheritwaslooking for the Guess? store in Barcelona, or returning to the hotel in Paris from the jazz club, this past summer's Spain and France trip was one to remember.

The S.C.A. voted to fund the project and to enlist student volunteers. The project involved clearing the site, building a small platform, bringing in large stones to serve as seating, erecting a plaque of Matt's poems and a sign, and planting shrubbery and flowers. The Peace Park was conceived as an ideal way to honor Matthew Brown, Class of 1997, who died tragically in a car accident this past summer. His classmates know Matt loved the beauty of the out-of-doors and had always wished for an outdoor classroom, especially for creative writing and drama classes. The park will be available for other class use as well and as a place of contemplation. Chain saws, axes, and ropes combined with the energy of young workers cleared the area in about five hours. Work continued throughout the fall . In the middle of the park is a particularly large old oak tree whose branches spread shade across the area. The students were enthusiastic about the park and about remembering their classmate and friend. As John French said, "It's a great idea to remember Matt with this park. This w ay he can stay with the school for a long time, and everyone else who didn't know Matt can enjoy the park too." Elizabeth Austin commented, "It's a way to give back to Matt what he gave to us."

In the morning, the Volleyball team played a very gutsy game against the 'Dawgs. The team played a great five game set led by Jocelyn White, Summers Mattern, and Anne Carrington Carson and gained a hard fought victory in their final Homecoming game. Also helping the team out were sophomores Hunter Stull and Diane Newman with their good setting and freshman Michele Hamilton with her killer spikes. The Lady Raiders played great volleyball to beat a good LCA team and advanced themselves in the state rankings. Later in the day, the football team engaged in another brutal battle with the Bulldawgs. Raider hopes seemed to be dispelled early when the 'Dawgs returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown but the team quickly fought back. Due to the great blocking of Ryan Doyle, Jake Copty, Ben Moore, Tim Kelley, and Chuck Hooper, the Raiders quickly moved the ball back down the field. Matt Stover, Charlie Glenn and Glen Mackey ran the ball well and pounded down to the 'Dawgs one yard line before giving it up on downs. Unfortunately, the defense then began to fail and by half time the 'Dawgs had the game under control. But the Raiders did not give up and late in the game they drove all the way down field and put the ball in the endzone but it was "too little too late". The Raiders showed good resiliency but the lack of experience finally killed them. At half time of the football game, Coach Muscaro was recognized with a new scholarship fund in his name. In a very emotional ceremony former student Jim Revercomb spoke of how Coach Muscaro positively influenced the lives of every North Cross student and also talked about "Coach's" ability to inspire anyone at any given time. "Coach" was finally recognized fo r the good effect he has had on so many students over the years.

Although everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, one incident put a slight cramp in the evening. On the night before, a Homecoming dance was also held for Eaton Hall students in the Willis Hall commons area. All in all, this year's Homecoming dances were both a huge success and a memorable end to a great day filled with volleyball and football games and other "Raider" activities.

There were many activities for Upper School students throughout the week that involved both class and individual student participation. A week of creative costumes and building spirit was planned, and prizes were given to the students with the most original costumes. Each day was designated with a specific theme: Hat Day, Hippie Day, Disco Day, Farmer Day, and SPIRIT DAY! This Homecoming made for a week of fun and excitement in the Upper School! HIPPIE DAY ·..

It always seems to hit right around that time when students and teachers begin to get fed up with the daily routine of school. Spring Break is a fun time to relax at home with friends or to go somewhere and spend time with your family. Some choose cold destinations for activities like skiing or snowboarding, while others prefer to go so mew here warm and soak up the sun's rays. In any case, students take time off to rest and prepare themselves for the final stretch of school. ·Ml u..,1. 1 E r .ERE Above: Brothers Michael and Jake Copty enjoy their brea k while a t th e Nippers Beach Bar in Abaco during their visi t to the Bahamas.

Spring Break ' 9~ 29 �While under constant complaint and fire from the student body, the dress code at North Cross stands, and most students are content with it. Lower School just about has carte blanche with their choice of clothes, but once in Middle School, the responsibilities kick in with a stricter - yet comfortable - casual dress code. The Upper School dress code is a gradually changing process, allowing more freedom for selection, while keeping within the guidelines of ties and no short skirts. Jeans days pop in from time to time in Middle and Upper School, and also lend a little relaxation at the end of a week from wardrobe rummaging.

What began last year as a Thursday afternoon tradition (a change from being on a Friday) has become a successful way to relieve stress, and get spirits up for the weekend. While the fa- vorites of Willis Hall intramurals are played outside, such as football and ultimate frisbee, other sports and games also took place in the CAC. Current Events, before Mr. Meagher left at Christmas, were also a part of assembly. Team captains were voted on at the beginning of the year, while freshmen and new students were also put on teams .

They are the ones who run the school, the ones who keep it on track, and the ones who make sure everything comes together. They are the ones responsible for everything that happens at North Cross, the ones who make everything run smoothly and the ones who have to deal with what goes wrong. The headmaster William Stacey has the final word and must stay involved with everything that happens at North Cross. The individual departments are headed by Liz Holt, Stephen Parnes, and Rick France. They work with Dr. Stacey to make each school division, lower, middle, and upper, work and thrive as one whole school. But even they need the expertise of directors like Jim Muscaro, Donna Satterwhite, Deke Andrews, and Peter Benedict, over-seer of outdoor activites. There are those who make ends meet like Business Manager Susan Copty, Carrie Levenson-Wahl who heads up development, and Carol Eglesonm head of admissions.

The Pre-Kindergardenstudents of the Class of 2012 are the youngest members of North Cross, but they have just as 1nuch school spirit as everyone else. In Pre-K, the activities can be both fun and educational. To the students, the best activities are pouring the beans and doing the puzzles. One of the hardest things to do in the classroon1 is to try to look at the books, not knowing what is happening in the story. But, with a four year old's imagination, they try to read anyway. In Pre-Kindergard en, it is always a treat to do something with "big kids." The best things about being in Pre-K to Jonathan Turner is, "eating and being outside". Some other highlights for the year are having faces painted for the big Homecoming pep rally by the upper school students, and the Senior I Pre-K Easter egg hunt in the spring. Pre-K is just a really fun place to be! Above: Catherine Jessee waits p atiently to be called upon by her teacher during class.

The Kindergarden year is mainly about preparing the children for first g rade. The basics: reading, writing, arithmatic are all taught throughout the year. Also the students acquire skills needed for life, as in sharing or cutting an apple. Sally Creekmore, a Kindergarden student, tells us that her favorite things about Kindergarden are the teachers and cutting apples. A favorite activity that is always agreed upon by Kindergardeners is the playground and its monkey bar, swings and slides. Another student, Katie Williamson, summarizes it all, "We do activities, we play on the playground, we read books, and n1ost of all we go to carpool." Life is easy in Kindergarden. There are many fundamantal accomplishments. During the year, when a child successfully learns how to read, and proves this to the teacher, he recieve a certificate to take home to his parents. Kindergarden is a tin1e for learning new and exciting things and having fun ... that's what Kindergardeners do best!

They have planned trips to the Discovery Place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Old Salem in Winston Salem, North Carolina, as well as a relaxing afternoon at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium. The fourth graders also have some exciting projects planned. They panned for gold in January, and will also be learning about bird behavior. But, perhaps the most exciting project is the fourth grade's study of the Solar System. Being a fourth grader also has its privileges. Students are allowed to listen to music of their choice at given times, and couches in the back of the room provide endless relaxation. When Apoorva Acharya was asked what she liked best about being a fourth grader, she replied, "We get to do lots of neat stuff on the computer!" . Mike Samarasinghe also responded, "I especially like the couches in the back of the room." Being a fourth grader may not be the top of the lower school, but certainly has its benefits. From cool field trips to neat projects, to music and couches for relaxation, the fourth grade leaves the lower classes envious!

In the meantime they are working hard - especially for their new teacher Mr. Oliver. "He's the man!" says Ethan Jorgenson Earp. All of the students are really enjoying the first male teacher they have ever had. A comment on the work load? - "It is not as complicated as 4th grade was, but it still is difficult at times," says Carrie Knopf. Another exciting event to look forward to is the hatching of the chicks. In the spring, Mrs. Sallade' s science class will watch chicks hatch, and play with them for a while before letting them go. Of all the places to be at North Cross, being in the fifth grade is definitely one of the best. - \ ..... Above: Kelsey Green awalt and her class w orks silently in their m ath workb oo ks. M r s .

It is ti1ne for a change; break (a time for students to socialize and snack before afternoon classes), intramurals, and many outdoor activities are only a few of the new experiences in sixth grade life. Take out your drawing pencils, tune up your instruments, and get ready because seventh period is a great end to the day . With activities ranging from dance, art, and drama, there is always something fun to do. And new to the curriculum are the Eatonian (a weekly newspaper) and the Literary magazine (an anual work of creatvie pieces). The first year of Middle School is also only the beginning, as there is much more fun to follow.

Teachers are expecting inore from the students, and so the work load become greater too. Seventh graders on the S.C. A. have a chance to really make a difference with what they think is important. Activities during seventh period are also fun, and there is a good variety to chose from. Being stuck in the middle is not always the best place to be, but some have found that sixth graders look up to seventh graders, and as hoped, the older eigth graders do not do much bullying around. And soon, after one more year, the seventh graders will be in high schoot and have even more responsibilities and freedoms. But for right now at least, life is pretty good in the middle.

Students are looked up to and 1nust lead the rest of the n1iddle school. They must integrate the lines between the grades and allow the n1iddle school to run as one unit, not three separate ones. Eighth graders are also looking forward to high school. They are but one grade away from crossing the campus to Willis Hall where they will be once again last in line. Eighth graders are leaders on JV sports teams. They push their teams to cross the finish line first or put the ball across the goal line the most. This challenge allows the students to develop leadership skills needed later. The eighth grade year is truly a preparation for high school, since they are the next in line. Right: Lauren Lanahan and Elizabeth Higginbotham pose for a picture at the Middle School dance. Below Left: Britt Andrews and Ann Nicholas show the sixth graders how it is done.

Again By Kathleen Stoeckle and Chris French The freshmen class, last year at the top of the middle school, is now at the bott01n in the North Cross upper school. The year promises to be more acaden1ically challenging for the freshmen class, filled with new teachers and new students. Despite the increase in h01nework and studying, the class of 2001 find that the general atmosphere of the upper school is laid back and friendly. At the start of the year the new ninth graders may have had doubts about how to fit in this new environment, but after about a week of going to classes and getting the hang of their schedules, they comfortably fit into the whole of the upper school. The feelings about the new double periods are mixed among class mates, but this depends on what classes they have. In just a few more years, the freshmen will be the top of the pack again.

Homecoming is a big worry for the first month of school, not just finding a date, but also organizing it. The next eight months is spent worrying about chemistry and biology labs. A new sense of maturity is floating through the sophomore hall. John Scott said, "I found ninth grade to be powerful and difficult. Tenth seems to be a little easier, except for Chem / Bio, of course. Chem / Bio is a lot of work and a gargantuan challenge."

Above: Senior actors Jake Copty and Tom Ashton, are two of the very few male characters in this mostly female dominated play. �This year our faithful director (Gates Dehart) gave a challenge to the North Cross Drama Society. He decided to step away from the comedy the1ne of the last few years' plays and spice things up with the Greek tragedy, The Trojan Women. The company was a bit daunted by the thought of undertaking such a piece; but everything went a1nazingly well. In fact, the biggest obstacle seemed to be the cute little dresses the guys wore and the dirt for fake soil on the girls' costumes. The set was not elaborate, stark rather, and the show was something new - but Sophocles himself would have been proud. And after a lot of hard work and trial-and-error, the North Cross Dra1na Society can again refer to itself as a versatile troupe. Above: Drama director Mr. Gates DeHart puts the finishing touches on to star Meredith Jarratt's costume for her role in The Trojan Women. As well as "The Trojan Women", the North Cross Drama Society put on a musical number entitled "An Evening with Cole and George" , and fea tured the singing talents of the Upper School students and faculty. �S p r n g F e v e Survivin TheSeniorSlUill By Sarah Boxley Parrott The "Senior Slump" does not begin at a designated time of the yea~. For some students, it begins after their Senior Speech. Or it could be triggered by Winter Break or the arrival of the first snow days, or maybe being accepted to college. Some students, perhaps, go on Spring Vacation, never to mentally return to the classroom. And there are the few, the proud, and the lazy, those who started the slack four years earlier as Freshmen, and never really recovered. Still, others deny the very existance of it. The slump or slide or slack is also commonly called "Senioritis, and it has been proven to be quite contagious. A prime place to catch this disease is a small, sometimes-clean room known to most as the Senior Lounge. Senioritis can also be found in lunch orders on Wednesdays. What is the cure for this illness? Sadly my friends, there is only one cure, and that is a diploma at graduation. Yes, that p iece of paper received while in a cap and gown is, in fact, an incredible thin g, leading to an instantaneous recovery. In the m eantime, however, I recommend very little w ork and some pingpong for temporary remedies (challenge Ms. Shaver to a game- she's really good!).

As we move closer and closer to a new age in technology, we are constantly having to upgrade our own standards of what we do and how we do it. Computers, calculators, the Internet, and other tools have become a very important part to school and home life. New Pentium PC's have made their way into the Willis Hall Computer Lab, and are available for use by the entire school, students and faculty alike. An ISON phone line was also added late in the year to provide high-speed Internet connection to the newly networked lab on all of the newer cmnputers. Lower schoolers use computers as learning tools, iniddle school students publish their own newspaper and begin using computers for work, and upper school students now use computers every day in classes and for other uses. Classes such as AP Pascal and Advanced Computer Science c++teach the more technical side to computer programming, while Computer Applications teaches the important and fun side. This year, the programming classes were also part of various world-wide competitions. The new North Cross web page was also a part of daily computer classes. From finding out how fast the rate of the rabit population of Australia doubles, to checking on stock updates for Statistics, to EMailing lab results, technology has become an important part of all of our lives. Right: The recent addition of several more powerful Pentiumbased PC's to the Upp er School computer lab has been a great help. With these faster machines, students have been not only typing reports and plotting graphs, but have also made web pages. Many teachers have integrated work for their classes to be done on a computer to perpare them for the future. Left: Dr. Jerry Maycock helps Justin vanBlaricom work on a lab for Physics on his computer. "Doc", as he is affectionately called by his students, along with the other Upper School science teachers, requires that graphs be done using computers. �Below: North Cross computer teacher Robert Baker visits the North Cross World Wide Web page on the Internet (http://www.nortlzcross.org), which went online at the begining of the school year. Many of Mr. Baker's classes worked on the web page throughout the year, as it was implemented as an important part of computer classes. --Above: In another example of students taking advantage of technology, Senior Ben Moore types an essay for Government on his laptop in the Senior Lounge.

Publications 131 �• Looking After The School By Honor Council President Alan Levicki This year the Honor Council was led by Alan Levicki who was serving his fourth year on the council. The Honor Council is the group that leads the school in all aspects of the Honor Code related assemblies. It gives the student body a group of peers to approach if they have any questions about the Code also. It is the job of the H onor Council to keep the student body informed of the honor code and to educate them about proper procedure in the event of an honor violation. Recently the Honor Council has had to han d le more topics dealing with calculator use, computer disk swapping, and plagiarizing from the Intern et. The Honor Council had a good year apart from when Honor Council Chairman Alan Levicki h ad to address the Upper School student body unofficially in an assembly about an incident tha t occured at the Homecoming dance. Due to this incident, the usual plethora of dances that the Upper School usually has was diminished down to only Founders' Day and Prom, with the possibility of an Interact dance late in the spring. But overall, the Honor Council seems to have a positive impact on the school and stu dents agree that it is important fo r a learning enviroment.

NHS President Ben Allen had no comment on the matter, and simply s1niled and walked away . This of course, is ironic, or perhaps not, since the NHS is composed of those students at North Cross with the hig hest grades, and so, one would assume that it is made up of those who work the hardest. But are they are just lazy? Who are they? What is it that they do at those Thursday lunch meetings? Those who are NHS 111e1nbers will not say, which leaves the rest of us guessing as towhetherornottheyareactually a real "society" as they call it, or simply a group of ego-troubled braniacs? We may never know.

S. C. 135 �Student Interaction liJnat lhe Interact Clu6 Really DoeB By Laura Dichtel, Nadeya Ward, Sarah Boxley Parrot, and Anne Wil Hubard The Interact Club started the year out with a new goal...fundraising. The concession stand at baketball games from previous years would be no more. The money it raised had to be obtained in other ways. So the Interact Club put their heads together and came up with lots of ideas. During the football season a bake sale was set up at home games. Although no winner was declared, the Penny War also brought in many funds for charity. An Interact 80' s-themed dance is also planned for the week before Field Day, and is being looked forward to by the entire Upper School. In March, a few members of the club volunteered at the Ram House, and found it to be a very rewarding experience. Not only did this help to serve a lot of hungry people, but it was a worthwhile and fun activity at the same time. So what do we do with all of the money raised? The club hasn't officially voted yet, but the money will probably be donated to places such as the SPCA, The Battered Women's Shelter, the rescue mission, The Bradley Free Clinic, and the Grayson Hooper Memorial Fund. We will also be able to donate money to many organizations because of the club's sucess this year. Hopefully, next year, the group's efforts will be even more successful. l Below: The Interact Club , seated in the Sixth Row B · · Ostasesk i Mihir Desai Fifth Row Li· - R d . nean Bowen, Jord o n Steele, Mark Tu gg le, Kemper Steele, Steph e n H a milton, Pe ter ' ' z o n guez Asl I S dl · L C · Tra v is Horak , Matt H e lblin g, Laura Dic htel Eli ;ab , ey a er, Biil Logan, Ryan Doyl e, Greg Lang, Kevin Lang, Brandon a ro1 x, A nn -M icha e l Wa ldv oge l, Sa ll y N ichols, A'nn e - Ui Garre tt , Andy Le ffler, Peter Manetta, Fourth Row Gilby Buttler, Annette Jo n e_s, ·o nn a C ri sty La Tl .

Struggling through a winless season is what few people would call succesful, but this team has gotten more done than any Raider team since 1993. The team started the season with almost half of the team comprised of rookies. The team continued to work hard through out the season and by the end, the work had paid off, and no rookies were left on the team. The four seniors instilled a sense of pride and courage in the rest of the team that will help for years to come. Next year the Raiders will hopefully return nineteen of the twenty three players from this year although Seniors Jake Copty, Ryan Doyle, Ben Moore, and Tim Kelley will be tough to replace. The Raiders will have to figure out how to fill in an almost empty line. This season should be remembered as a year of vast improvement and not as a year of disappointment.

"We do!" screams the entire field hockey team as they cheer at the start of each game. Spirit was a large part of the 1997-98 Field Hockey season. "We really came together as a team this year" says senior Beth Hubard. This is largely due to the fact that there are eight seniors w ho have been playing together for the past four to five years. The team went almost unchanged from last year, losing only two players to graduation. Changing coaches offered its challenges, but, thankfully Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Longbrake came to the res- cue and led the team to victory. Assistant Jennifer Lape also came to the aid of the team and proved to be fun on bus rides . One player stated, "with Jen's music selection ranging from Alice in Chains to Phish, we never knew what to expect, but most of the time we ended up covering our ears!" Jen's enthusiasm and expertise definitely added to another successeful field hockey season, but with eight graduating seniors, who knows what will happen next year?

For one thing, there were about twice as many runners on the team than in previous years. In addition, the team received new uniforms, although many of the runners still wore the classic "retro" attire from the 70's. The VIC was much more competitive this year than in past seasons. Fortunately, the Raiders kept up with the pace by defeating all but two of the teams in the VIC. The cross country team was led by co-captains Mark Tuggle and Greg Lang, who were also the only Seniors. The team's future looks positive with the Freshman twins, Josh and Jeff, as well as several other underclassmen running for the next few years. The cross country team may not have won the championship this year, but enthusiasm and determination prevailed. The team's enthusiastic attitude and good times were led by Cameron Johnson, Deacon Andews, Jim Grove, Michael Copty, and Frank Pendleton. Their spirit made rainy days into good times! Jim Grove probably said it best, "I had a great time bonding with my cross country friends." Well, it was certainly a memorable season filled with good friends, hard work, and great finishes.

With only three seniors, Jocelyn White, Summers Mattern, and Anne Carrington Carson, and much yonger players on the team, everyone pulled together and played as a team in every game this year. With a winning season and a constant Top 5 rank in the state, the varsity volleyball team's goal to hike up the hill to the State Championship was clear. The support from the fans, especially students, was tremendous this year. Even though barely defeated in the Championship, "We'll see you atthe top!" continues to be the team's moto, building up excitement for next year's team. As the season continued to be an uphill battle for this young team, the challenges soon became victories. The tremendous season of 20-5 placed the team 3rd in the state rankings towards the end of the season. In the state tournament, the Lady Raiders played hard and continually played with desire and determination,, but were ultimately defeated by rivals, Covenant.

They worked together to quickly learn cheers and dance routines in order to cheer the various fall varsity sports teams to victory. This was definately a season full of school spirit with the first ever Spirit Week leading up to the pep rally before the big Homecoming '97 Weekend. Brillaint costumes, prizes, a combination of imaginative ideas and total cooperation among the team-mates helped to create the best Homecoming Pep Rally ever seen by North Cross School. Other accomplishments and creative ideas helped fule the way for a great season too. With Seniors Lindsey Wise, Lindsey Hoagland, Susan Nicely, Elizabeth Renick, and Briean Bowen leaving, though, brand new faces are needed to fill the shoes in the future. Though five of the cheerleaders will not be returing for the fall season of '98, we all have confidence that the cheering tradition will continue with excellence.

Below: Coach Deacon Andrews talks to the team about their blocking strategy during a time out in the team's first gam e of the season . I '14 Middle School Football The 1997 Middle School football team, which actually began last spring with a week long clinic, was successful in a number of ways. First of all, there were some great wins but even in the losses, it was really just a matter of time running out, as the team was competitive with every opponent. The 1997 team ran a fairly complicated offense of over 30 plays using as many as 20 different formations. There were two perfectly executed onsides kicks, which is more than most high schools or colleges have in a season. The punting game was great and the kickoff receiving teams just missed breaking a couple for touchdowns. The majority of passes was completed with several going for touchdowns. The offense averaged about 20 points per game and outscored our combined opponents. Defensively, this was one of the hardest hitting teams in the school's history. Among other intangible lessons learned were the values of practice and hard work. Practice in itself doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. If a play can't be run perfectly in practice, there's no point in trying it in a game. The team also ran a few unorthodox plays, which were effective because they were practiced over and over and over. All in all, it was a great season with each and every player contributing to its success. Maybe next year. .. �Below: Coach Muscaro helps Hunter Doyle fix his hurt wrist which was injured during a play .

In the first game of the year the Raiders beat arch rival LCA by two points at LCA. They then traveled to the Blue Ridge Invitational Tournament where they were overwhelmed by Blue Ridge and then lost a close game to St. Anne's, a team they should have beaten. The Raiders then traveled to Miller School and won with a huge three pointer. After a loss to Roanoke Valley Christian the Raiders went on a two game winning streak. Immediately they headed back down losing three games in a row heading into a rematch with Roanoke Catholic. The team played its best game of the year, to that point, and blew out a favored Catholic team. The guys lost three of the next four and found out that the Catholic wins would not count in the Conference standings. A huge surge would be needed for the end of the season. They won four of their last five games, including wins over Carlisle and Hargrave, who had previously crushed them. Unfortunately the one loss in those last five games was to Timberlake, and it kept the Raiders out of the Tournament. This season was a great learning season for a fairly young team and should provide for a good year next year. For the Seniors it was a lot of fun in their last year. Brandon LaCroix was the scrappiest point guard North Cross has seen. Adam Pawelec was the leading scorer and a great pick up for the team. Ben Moore provided very little basketball skill but a lot of emotion and heart. The team as a w h ole came a long way from the beginning of the season and m issed the VIC tournament by just a matter of points.

At their peak, thegirls' basketball team was ranked 10th in the state against the tough competition coming from Northern Virginia and rivals RVCS, Holy Cross, and Grace Episcopal. Co-captain seniors Ann Ballenger and Katherin e Kelly led the team in hard work and dedication along with seniors Whitney Watson and Sarah Boxley Parrott. Their leadership will prove to be key factor in rebuilding the team next y ear with returning players Anne Wil Hubard, Nadeya Ward, Hunter Stull, and M ichele Hamilton. The big games this year were against Roanoke Catholic, LCA , and Grace. The school rivalry with Catholic encoura g ed th e play ers to play their hardest no matter what the score . The te a1n went out and annihilated them both times they met. The LCA g a1n e turned out to be tougher than the team had prepared for. Aft e r a few tur novers and a close call at the buzzer, the team pulled out a two p oint v ictory over the Lady Bulldawgs. With th e team's persistent defense and scoring from Michele Hamilton and Ann Ballenger, the girls were able to pull out a 12 point victory ov e r unsus p ecting Grace Academy. C oaching by Gayland Moore and Mark Driscoll pushed the girls to striv e for their best.

Varsity Girls' Bas ke tboll L63 �Splas By Ben Allen and Trent Johnson '\ •I This year's North Cross Swim Team posted one of the most successful dual meet records in the school's history. The team defeated both Hargrave Military and NorfolkAcademyduringtheregular season. The men's team was led by returning seniors Trent Johnson, Ben Allen, and Daniel Nicholas. These three swimmers contributed immensely towards the team's overall success. Newcomer to the team Greg Lang was a big help in relays and the butterfly. On the girls' side, Co-Captains Eliza beth Marie Melchionna and Anne Carrington Carson led a strong team. Fellow senior Anna Williams was invaluable in the freestyle and numerous relays. The season ended with the men's team finishing 4th in the state while the women's team finished 8th. Without the contributions of underclassmen such as Cameron Johnson, who placed second in the 200 freestyle and third in the 100 breaststrokoe; Geoff McLeod, state champion in the 200 individual medley; and Andrew M cKloskey, who finished sixth in the 100 breaststroke; this season would n ot have been as successful. The wom en' s team also received big swims from junior Laura Di chtel, s ta te ch amp ion in the 200 a nd 500 frees ty le; junio r Blair Huffman , who was th ird in the200 indi vidual med ley a nd the 100 fly. Other girls establis hed th em selves Ih4 Va rsity Sw imming for the future with impressive seasons. Eighth grader Lauren Lanahan, freshman Greer Johnson, as well as many others, improved over the season and look to contribute major points in the future. This season would not have been nearly so outstanding without the help of first year coach Brent St. Pierre. Coach St. Pierre came to North Cross after coaching at East Carolina University for a few years. His experience allowed the team to mesh and succeed as a unit. In his first year at North Cross, he helped the team to win an unprecedented 10th straight VIC title. We hope that Brent will be with us a while. The combined efforts of a new coach, some great new swimmers, and a strong set of juniors and seniors helped make this team successful in. When the seniors leave next year and the juniors become the captains, the team is likely to also gain even more support from the lower grades.

Boys' Basketball team fought its way through a hard season to pull out an 8-8 record going into the VIC tourn ament. Their tough defense enabled p layers such as Adam Beason, Gilby Butler, and Bejai Powell to score on the other end of the cou rt. The team's top rebound e r s w ere Frank Pendleton, Adam Beason, and Sam Polhamus. Coach Gordon Winn's past exp erience w ith North Cross b a sketball also helped him coach the team to the best season that the boys' team has had in recent memory. The Middle School Boys' Basketball team was led by the father-son combination of coaches Deke Andrews and his father. There was some good depth on this year's team, and they had a great winning season. Some very talented eighth graders will be a good addition to the 1998-99 J.V. team, but they were also useful on this year's team. There is good strength in the sixth and seventh grades, and so Raider fans can look forward to another exciting Middle School basketball season next year. , 11 Above: Ma tt Ra ppa po rt is bl oc ked in a tte mpt to m a ke a baske t.

Jwliors Michael Stoeckle and Andy Leffler have been a great weapon for scoring this year, with Michael topping the VIC scoring list. Exchange students Marcos Macedo from Brazil and Adam Pawelec from Poland have also benefited the team with their distinct style of agressive play. After losing Jwlior player Joe Thielecke to a broken nose in a 3-1 victory over G.W. Danville, Jwlior Peter Osta_seski filled his starting position. The upperclassmen have down a great job with every junior and senior on the team having at least one goal each. The team also came back from losing to Patrick Henry to a 1-1 tie in overtime.

This year's softball team consists of eager rookies and seasoned veterans. Despite all the bruises and running, softball is filled with fun and satisfaction. "I don't want to run today, or any day" was a comon comment by Susan Nicely. Running was added to practice this year because someone complained about lack of exercise. This was not taken well by all the players but they didn't really have a choice. This years team was led by Seniors Anne Carrington Carson, Susan Nicely, Elizabeth Austin, Susan Whitaker, and Lindsey Hoagland . With a complete lack of Juniors, underclasmen Nadeya Ward, Annette Jones, Kimberly Perkins, Carrie James , Greer Johnson, Kristy Spisak, and Kelly Dyer will have to step up and play like veterans .

With a relatively young team and a tougher schedule, the tennis team hopes to perform well. The top seated player Deacon Andrews should also aid the team with his solid performance. The season opened with two tough matches against public schools, Radford High School and Patrick Henry High School. Under the leadership of Mr. Robert Baker, his second year coaching the team, the tennis team hopes to have a winning season after the end of season flop last year. This year the team has two talented eight graders, two freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors, and two seniors.

Bovs' Varsity Tennis l87 �Girls' Varsity Tennis Service With A Smile By Sarah Boxley Parrott The 1998 Girls' Tennis Team not only had a succesful season this year, they had a wonderful time doing it. Coaches Lee Jessee and Mr. Oliver had the girls work on strengthening muscles as well as hitting tennis balls. So, twice a week, the team could be found in the weight room and on the track completing workouts set by Fitness Instructor and Baseball coach Eric Lawrence. Tri-Captains Summers Mattern, Sarah Boxley Parrott, and Elizabeth Marie Melchionna led their team from early March to late May. These three seniors always took time to hit with the seventh graders who practiced with the tennis team. Because of varsity rules, a player must be in eighth grade to play in matches. But these seventh grade girls began practice a year early so that they can be prepared for next year on the varsity team. This discipline will allow the tennis team to remain strong in the years to come, and ensure plenty of Raider victories over the horizon.

Advisors Margaret Grayson Am y Fox Assistant Ed itor Lind sey Wise Editor-Kn-Chief John French 222 Colophon Thank you to everybody for the time you put in the time and effort to make this yearbook possible. Excluding proofs, the book finaled on April 14, 1998, a little later than hoped, with the staff surviving from severe senioritis and spring fever. �Right: Editor John French, working late one day after sch ool, makes an attempt to pro tec t the secrets of this year's book o n the computer and k eep them away from the eye of th e photographer.

A lot of students frequentl y gave up their own free time to help others, whether at RAM house, tutoring at the West End Center, cleaning paint off the glass at ArtVenture downtown, or working at area hospitals. Louis Davidson said, "I volunteered at ArtVenture b eca u se it was so nmch fun . I love to see what little kids create. Once, when there were not many people there, we worked with clay. The children created a whole village with bridges, trees, flowers and trolls. I just love being with them." A new club formed this year called the Interact Club, organizing the service efforts of all of the Upper School sh1dents. Sponsored by the Rotary Club, the purpose of this international organization is to perform in the course of one year at least two major projects that benefit the outreaching community. When the Ro tary Club of the Roanoke Valley h eld their annual "Benefit for Service", eig ht Interact Club members spent their Frida y evenings selling 50/50 raffle tickets. This event profited three charities in Roanoke-RAM House, the Roanoke Jaycees, and the West End Center. The couples who a ttended this formal gathering held at the Salem Civic Center had the chance of winning cash, door prizes or a car.

At a time when most normal people were sleeping, the students were up, lugging around backpacks, dividing food, and getting ready to head out into the deserts of Arches National Park. Dr. Jim Palmieri, organizer of this summer trip exploring the West, gathered everyone around the van to give them a quick lesson in orienting direction with compasses. Unfortunately, the map was dated around 1920. Afterwards, all twelve students, the bravest of the brave and the dumbest of the dumb, set out into the desert morning. They felt fit, having just eaten their five hundredth piece of french toast since the trip out west began. In addition, they were all getting laughs out of seeing Dr. Palmieri carry his pack around since it was over two times the size of th e ir own. However, by twelve o'clock no on e wa s laughing.

Three seconds left on the clock. Two! One! Desperation shot at the buzzer and it's good. White team wins by three! This is the kind of fun students had during intramurals. All students participated in the different events. Boys found out that controlling the ball in field hockey was harder than they thought; while the girls who played football thought that maybe they might come out for the team next year. The teams were chosen at the beginning of the year at the Red-White draft . The names of freshmen and new students were drawn out of a hat by the team captains, Jamie Bell for the red team and Burke Rucker for the white team. Once the teams were decided, the competition began. For those who preferred to compete Ca tey Thi eleckL' out of the athletic arena, there were current events games with Mr. Meagher. Once a month, he asked Upper School students questions about topics ranging from the World Series to international politics. Senior Damon Goddard usually dominated this category. "Dodge ball was the place to be" , said Micah Davidson. "It's a good w ay to get out your aggressions." Each student had his own favorite, whether it w as participating in the current events or cheering in the stands at the CAC or playing on the field . The games were filled with energy, excitement and fun for everybody .

The cheerleaders outdid themselves decorating the halls of the Upper School in an assortment of red and white balloons and streamers. The Middle School's spirited window decorations and the Lower School's colorful painted faces pumped up the w hole atmosphere of Homecoming. The game kicked off on a warm, sunny October day. The football team met Catholic on the field of battle, where the Raiders smashed Catholic 41 to 20. Unfortunately, members of the Junior class were too busy frantically trying to peddle Raider cups to raise prom funds to see much of the game. The football victory was followed by the festive annual barbecue for students, alumni, and scores of sauce-covered children. Unfortunately , this year's annual Bonfire was cancelled, but a pep rally held right before the game on Friday, October 1--where every last player from all the fall sports was introduced--su ccessfully electrified the student body.

This is a day in the early fall when Upper School students take a day off from studying and books for a variety of retreats. "I really needed to take the day off!" was the general sentiment about that time of year in late October. This year there was an abundance of exciting activities to choose from, including mountain biking at Carvins' Cove, playing paintball in the woods behind the CAC, satisfying one's tastebuds at Mabry's Mill, getting a taste of the court downtown, or taking a hike at Dragon's tooth or McAfee's Knob. The Mabry's Mill trip was nicknamed the "get fat trip" because all the students did was eat until nothing else could be shoveled down their throats. On the strenuous biking expedition led by Mr. Dickinson, students took a ride on the fire road around Carvin's Cove. Luckily, only one tire was flat by the end of the long ride. Students were rewarded for their strenuous workout with oatmeal raisin cookies, compliments of Mrs. Dickenson. On the trip to the courthouse, the students spontaneously ran into Mary Sue Terry, the democratic candidate for governor of Virginia. These trips were only a small part of a Liberty Day that turned out to be a smashing success,much thanks to the agreeable weather. Liberty Day is one tradition of the school that we all hope will stay with us for a long time. Paddling for his llie, Andy Harrison gets chased by Skip Johnson and Trey Mangus at Hickory Lake.

This them.e was carried into the food served at the silent auction and the music played on the mall. The real success of Field Day was thanks to the committee members under the leadership of co-directors Mrs. Sue Johnson, Mrs. Jendy Thielecke, and Mrs. Eleanor Wells, who sought the help of the student and parent volunteers. Fron1 the White Elephant sale to the rug sale to exhibits and children's games to directing traffic to answering phones in Willis Hall, students and parents pulled too-ether workinotoo b ward a common goal. The band this year was a high school band, comprised of several Upper School students. The creative theme of Fiesta! attracted people from all around the Roanoke area and despite some rainfall in the late mo;ning, nobody allowed the rain to ruin the day. All together, Field Day was a big success. There was a change this year in that the profits were not added to the school's budget but instead used supplementarily for scholarships and enrichment of existing programs. Director Mrs. Wells commented in retrospect, "From the parents to the students to the teachers to the school, we just want to thank everybody. We couldn't have done it without you!

How about lip color? Pants or skirt? Skirt, you sa_y? Long? Well, siit, flowing, straight? Short? Should you test the boundaries or be conservative? Co1nforta ble or dressy? Oh, you'd rather go with pants? Well, straight or bells. And, what about a shirt? Grab your dad's, romantic, poetic, scoop neck, or grunge? Or, any ola. sweater would do. Now, black hose, socks, or au natural? Then, grab some shoes. Let's see. Western boots (rid'em cowgirl!), hiking boots (anyone tor a climb 1), clogs (back to the '70s), flats, or tennis shoes (to go with that short skirt)? All these decisions before you've left your room.

Amy Tuggle and Sarah Waybright It was hard not to notice when the holidays rolled around at school. It was a little bit harder for teachers to control their students, and classes tried even harder to persuade their teachers not to have class. Even teachers felt the excitement-scents of goodies wafted out of the teachers' lounge for students to wonder. From Halloween to Christmas and Hanukkah to Valentine's Day and more, the festive spirit was seen all around school. The first long break from school was around Thanksgiving, when campus was closed for six days. This was along-awaited break, when students spent time with family and friends and often saw siblings and friends return from college for fall break. It was hard to come back to school after six relaxing days. The month of December was filled with excitement for the holidays approachingChristmas and Hanukkah. The Lower School was decking their halls with brigh t1 y colored decorations, while the Middle and Upper Schools prepared for their first semester exams. The month of good spirits culminated in a Holiday Music program directed by Ms. Smallwood. Students and faculty performed their favorite holiday songs. On Valentine's Day, the junior class sold "Love Pops" to the Upper School. Students sent these Blow-Pops to their friends and teachers to celebrate the holiday. Holidays came and went, but students never lost their good spirits. They knew how to celebrate, and they never forgot to sit back and enjoy themselves. S eniors Abby Auman, Carolyn Jones, Nathan Cox, Lesley Dodson, Scott Hayes, and Heather Houston pose for a quick group shot.

However, most of us do not realize all the different activities in which they are involved in out of the school community. Our teachers stay busier than we think! For instance, Mr.Gordon Winn, a spanish teacher for both the Upper and Lower Schools, recently graduated from the University of Richmond and frequently returns to Richmond to see friends. Mr.Richard Cook, an Upper School history teacher, coaches Roanoke Select Soccer teams besides coaching our varsity boys' soccer team. Mr.Ed Dickinson, an Middle and Upper School French teacher, is a cyclist who has finished in the top five in numerous races. Dr. Jerry Maycock is a man with many various interests both in and out of school. In school he teaches chemistry and is the faculty advisor for the Honor Council and the Dean of the Faculty. Out of school, he is known for being the tennis coach and a very accomplished raquetball player. Dr. Jim Palmieri also has an athletic interest outside of school, hangliding. Dr. Palmieri offers a course to students on learning how to fly above the clouds.

Along with the experiments, they ventured on many field trips . On one of the first days of Spring, the third graders explored the Transportation Museum. While Downtown, the kids fulfilled their fantasies at the planetarium, took a stroll through the Science Museum and did all the activities that the Museum offers.

In December each student began working on his or her state report.This report was exciting for them because it was their first real research report, and "each student jumped into it with enthusiasm," Mrs. Albertson said . However these state reports required a great deal of work.The students wrote to the Chamber of Commerce of their s tate for inform a tion and spent a grea t deal of time inthe library. Thestate's histor y, geog raphy, weather, resources and reason for name were includ ed in most r eports." It was a grea t chance for the students to learn about other states besides just our own," said Mrs. Albertson. They also prepared a culinary treat characteristic of their state to share with everyone. In the pas t, fourth grade students ha ve just learned about Virginia but now they have expanded their horizons . The fourth grade also went on two field trips , one to Old Salem and one to Charlotte N.C. At Old Salem they learned about life in the 17th and 18th century. While in Charlotte they visited a hands on science museum. This class will go on to ex plor e ne w things. W orkin g hard, Andrew Dens more a nd Morgan Delaney carefull y take notes.

And it is!" says Sarah Jessee. All students agree, the fifth grade lives up to all their expectations. One of the many things the Lower School students look forward to as fifth graders is the annual overnight trip to Baltimore, Maryland. Students say that it is a great chance to get away from the normal routine of school to have fun with their friends while completing their study on oceanography .. Another aspect of being in the fifth grade is that the students are finally at the top of the Lower School. "We are the seniors of the Lower School!" says Chris Walker. As the leaders, fifth graders enjoy certain freedoms and privileges that they have not gotten in the past. One of these privileges is being able to purchase ice cream everyday,instead of just on Fridays as they had in the lower grades. These students love being in the fifth grade. They also say that their teachers, Mrs. Sallade and Mrs. Tower, make their schooldays all the better. Now, they can't wait to move up in the school to the next step, Middle School. Going over their hom ework assignm ent in English class, Jennifer Wilso n and David Wells correct their pa pers.

It's a whole new atmosphere of change. Adjustments, adjustments: homework on weekends, harder teachers, more classes-and more grades. However, the up side to all this work comes with more field trips, dances, jeans da ys, and lots more fun. Every student seemed to successfully master the new challenges in record time. The sixth graders brought to the Middle School fresh new faces and personalities . Their distinct personalities were obvious in their musical preferences, which range from the Grateful Dead to Gershwin to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The sixth graders definitely mimicked President Bill Clinton's motto that "change is good" . Their spirits were up for a good year, and they made a great start to a new chapter in their Middle School careers.

In two short years, they have gone from low est in command in the middle school to middle schoolers who are looked up to. K.J. Hippensteel said, "It is weird being looked up to like I once looked up toothers." Many eighth graders are involved in sports. By doing this, they make their next step transition from the Middle School to the Upper School easier by being involved with older students. Ben Moore said, "I believe this will help make my freshman year easier because I have spent a lot of time with Upper School students." While the students look forward to the years ahead, they enjoy many eighth grade privileges that they will not have next year. Brandon Lacroix states "I will miss being the oldest and being able to eat lunch outside, but I am looking forward to having a study hall and next year."

Shane Vinales noted, "It gives us time to relax and get unfinished work accomplished" . The ninth graders have mixed feelings about the drastic change from wearing casual clothes to a more formal attire. In the Middle School, boys were permitted to wear shorts, but now the mandatory dress is slacks, dress shirts, and ties. Over all, the adjustment was not difficult.

Going along with his joke, Emily Farley, Anne Lemon, and Ellyn Stecker showed up to class the next day with plates of fresh cookies. Lab reports were a m ajor part of the biology curriculum. Bleary-eyed students worked after school and on weekends in the lab and late into the nights at their computers and word processors to p erfect their reports, as Dr. Palmieri graded fairly but precisely. Even though it was hard, the students knew by the end of their sophomore years that they had pulled through it all, and they were sure they could m ake through one more semester of biology in the fall.

Salutatorian Jason Davis and his uncle The Revere d H. Paul Matthews Ill opened the ceremonies . Headmaster Mr. Stacey addressed the audience and welcomed commencement speaker Dr. John C.

He s tressed to the students the three Vs-vote, volunteer, and visit. After the commencement address, Middle and Upper School students were award ed books for outstanding academic achievements, and Jefferson Cups were presented to the members of the Survival Club 1994. Valedictorian Ellen Brenner addressed her "brothers and sisters" for the last time and looked to the future with hope.

Graduation 95 �Into the Unknown Sarah Waybright There comes a time in every student's life when he has to look beyond the walls of our school to the future and make one of the biggest decisions of his life-where he wants to go to college. This selection process starts in the middle of a student's junior year when College Night is held for students and parents. Organized by the college counseler, Ms. O'Dell, this year's College Night included three admissions officers from the University of Virginia, Roanoke College, and Hollins College, who shared their knowledge of the application, financial aid, and single-sex versus co-educational schools. The next step is a meeting with Ms. O'Dell to start discussing ideas about what the student wants in a college. After receiving numer- ous pieces of mail about colleges around the country, the juniors start to narrow their choices by visiting campuses and arranging interviews. Trey Mangus said, "During my interview with VMI I was really nervous. I thought that I looked like a fool, but I got in anyway ." Once the student has narrowed his choices to about six colleges, the application process begins. In Septembe r, students attend Mrs. Shaver's workshop on writing college essays and begin asking for recomme ndations. Ellen Brenner said, "I learned that the schools wanted to know who I was, so I just wrote about something that I really believed in for my essays." In April, students are finally awarded as they start to hear from the colleges of their choice. Reading new information from Princeton University, Andy O'Dell makes good use of his free time. Having a brother and a mother familiar w ith th e process, Andy felt prepared to get started . In the ad missions offi ce, Mrs. France works on the d esktop computer. "Even thou gh I am not techni call y in volved in th e coll ege selction process, I d o interact with the stud ents to help them to find what they need in the college counseling room," comm ented Mrs. France. N arro wing d ow n th eir cho ices, Blair Calvert a nd Skip Johnson m ee t w ith Ms. O'Dell during th e ir s tud y ha ll.

The second act found the three in the same sorority house just before graduating from collage, and in the third act they were junior sophisticates living in and around New York City. Casey and Janis continued to distinguish themselves in the spring play, a feminine version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. New to the stage in that production were Emory Hamilton, Aaren Ross, Ellyn Stecker, Jennifer Vermillion, Jamie Bell, and Ry Moore. The play was hysterically funny and played to good-sized audiences each night.

KATHRYN ANTHONY and CAROLYN }ONES This year's varsity girls' volleyball team performed on the perfect stage-the volleyball court. Setting that stage, six players-backed by a devoted bench-gave their all from start to end. The starting lineup consisted of two seniors and four juniors. The captain and co-captain, Ellen Brenner and Lesley Dodson, dominated the net-Ellen with her graceful blocks and killer spikes, Lesley making every spike look easy. Heather Perry, who was named MVP at the end of the season, distinguished herself as a masterful setter. Armistead Lemon, the left-handed wonder, had con- " We 're in the house!!!" sistent serves and an untrackable spike. Blair Calvert was an all around player, giving constant encouragement both on and off the court. Blair also always managed somehow to find that empty spot on the other side of the court. Melissa Blythe was the main back row digger, making expert passes to Heather Perry. When Melissa was not able to finish the season due to illness, Kathryn Anthony willingly stepped in. Everyone contributed to this team's success as BRC champions. "One for all and all for one" was a concept the team lived by. That is what lead this team to an undefeated conference season and then to first place in the conference tournament. In the end, the stage was set for a season not to be forgotten..

After a year of observing and chronicling, the yearbook has created a wonderful and uniquelook into our community. Sh1dent eyes have interpreted this tin1e in our lives. They have selected the events, focused our attention, and provided a context so we rnay ren1e1nber. The 1994 Compnss is like the gift of a looking glass; it allows us a glin1pse of ourselves and the opportunity to better understand what we see.
