Russell , D .D. r RICHMO ND DIOCESE'S BISHOPS ATTEND VATICAN II In early October, 1962, Bishop John J. Russell, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Richmond, and Auxiliary Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler, D.D., Titular Bishop of Latopolis, left the United States en route to Rome and the convening of the first Ecumenical Council to be held in almost 100 years. Pope John XXIII opened the Council on October 11, 1962 in St. Peter's Basilica. In the initial address, he stressed the fact that the Church must take a lead in the work of Christian unity. And therein lies the purpose of the bishops' trip to Rome. After more than three years of preparation, the convention of bishops is faced with such subjects as the following: the basis of moral order; how best can the organizationa l work of the Church provide for the modern care of souls; or, the great question of the liturgy, to mention a few. Their duty is to deliberate upon these subjects until they arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. The first session of the Council adjourned December 8, 1962, at which time the bishops returned home. The second session will convene in May, 1963, when the bishops will again return to Rome and resume their unfinished work. It is impossible to predict a possible outcome of this Council. We can, however, as the Holy Father urges, pray: "0 Sweet Guest of the Soul, strengthen our minds in truth and dispose our hearts to obey, so that we may accept with conviction and carry out with a ready will whatever is determined in the Council." l l ��They that instruct many to justice (shall shine) as stars for all eternity. Daniel 12:3 �OUR SPI RITUA L Father John S. Igoe, Dean of Southwestern Virginia, was ordained from Belmont Abbey by Bishop Denis J. O'Connell on June 13, 1924.

The faculty is the strength of a school and Roanoke Catholic is wealthy in this line. Besides the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky, who are superb, we have Mr. Thomas Harkins, Mrs. Roger Little, and Senora Gaston, all of whom are outstanding in their respective fields. ,/ -~ R ever e nd J o hn P.

The class of 1967, commonly known around R. C. H. as the sub-frosh, is the lowest rung on the five-rung ladder of the high school diploma. This fact does not seem to bother this group of energetic teens, who are the lifeblood of the school spirit. These youngsters are active in almost every organization in the school. They maintain the major interest in the Junior Red Cross, the stamp drive, and the Catholic Student Mission Crusade's Study Clubs. Although these "children" are a bit of a trial to the upperclassmen at times, if there is a job to be done, you can always find a sub-freshman willing to try. We salute these trying, but trying underclassmen. The elite of the lowly are Student Council Representative George Simpson, Pres id ent Tommy Ripley, VicePresident Penny T exter , Secretary Deborah Bost, Treasurer Mary Bou ma, and Student Council Patty Representati ve Kramer. 22 �Helping others learn the fundamentals of the library are Peggy Bushway, Mary Ann Dill, Karen Meador, Elizabeth Brant, Annette Ragone, Brenda Ellis, Mark Duetsch, Debbie Bost, Penny Texter, Annette Scott, James Remmell , a nd Michael Funk. Sam Stewart and Larry Mattox use the atlas in history class as Susan Wright, Anita Wilson, Cynthia Josey, Kelsey Reed, Mary Tankersley, and Bernie Crail look on. Conducting a science experiment are Bruce Cranmer, C. J. Redburn , Pat Driscoll, Lelia Coleman, Beverly W aldis, Gary Chewning, and Pat Graybill. Busy at· work in the library are Robert Stanley, Betty Powell Jo Anne Hughes, Carleen Grubb, Stanley Smith, John Keegan, Tony Sartini, Steve Tucker, and Larry Carter. Eighth graders participate in a discussion of one of the Great Books which each student has read . Mrs. H arold Kyle is discussion leader of the group . The students striving higher intellectually are Mary Tankersley , Linda Nablo, Debbie Bost, Susan Wright , Richard Wright; Kelsey Reed , Sally Glenn Mary Souma, Patty Kramer, Jo Anne, Hughes, Cynthia Josey, and Annette Ragone.

Under the direction of Sister Helen Maureen and Mr. Thomas Harkins, these youngsters are getting into the "swing" of high school life. They, too, are active in the school organizations.

Looking on are Sara H a rtma n, L a ura B oush, K athy Emerson, Gary Haase, a nd Pat Bergeron. The "wise fools," or more commonly called the sophomores, have this year reached the exalted heights of being in the middle- higher than the underclassmen but lower than the upperclassmen . This "being in the middle'' doesn't seem to hold the sophomores down, however, for they can be found in any activity or organization on the Hill. This year they have added their voices to the Glee Club, making the number greater than ever. Besides Glee Club, the sophomores can be found in the Rosary Club, C. S. M. C., and the National Honor Society. They were among the founders of the R. C.H. band. Certainly the sophomores can be called the Spirit of school spirit. The pilots of the Sophomore Class are Student Council Representatives Jane Wooddall and Mike McDonald, Treasurer Diane Diamond, Secretary Pat McDona ld , President Greg Thomson , and Vice-President Jimmy Alouf.

C. H. this year finds itself a real part of the workings of the school. Besides being responsible for the Prom, they are part of the executive board of the student council. The juniors are the "new look" at R. C. H. They wjll be the first class to graduate on the seven-five program. They also have had the accelerated courses throughout high school. Actually they were the guinea pigs for the experiment. The Prom is the grand event at R. C. H. The juniors, during second semester, may be seen wearing secretive expressions, for all the preparations must be kept secret from the senior class. In the spring of '63 the juniors will receive their senior class rings, making them, unofficially, the upperclassmen. Juniors, like the underclassmen, are also active in the many organizations on the hill. They can be found in the Glee Club, newspaper staff, student council, National Honor Society, and C. S. M. C. They are certainly preparing themselves to accept the numerous duties. of a senior class. The Junior class officers are seen as they arrive on the hill for a d ay of hard work in sch ool.

CLASS of 1963 An Ode to our Alma Mater Here is a song for you dear Catholic High. The Senior Class of 1963 is proud to be able to say that we claim you as our Alma Mater. We pledge our love and loyalty. In the coming years we will look back upon our high school years as the best ever. You're everything it takes to make a school-good times, fun, and books and lessons, games and parties. We will always remember the receiving of our class ring; o'ur Christmas Dance, "December Delight"; the boys' "hop"; the girls' bake sales; and best of all-the Prom! Of course, we could never forget our Prom with all its planning, labor, and that wonderful night! Needless to say, the classes, and the teachers will forever be with us in mind and heart. The near explosions in chemistry lab, the mispronunciations in French, Spanish, and Latin classes, the struggles in the English, Math, and Religion classes will continue to cause a fond smile in the years to come. There is no school that can compare with you in any way or anywhere. Not even those schools that were lucky enough to beat us. Despite them RCH had a winning season mentally, physically, and spiritually. So we'll stand by you, love you, 'til we die, Roanoke Catholic High.

STUDEN T COUNCI L Student Council Treasurer, Mike Bentley, performs his favorite task of counting money while Vice-President, Mike McM a hon , dictates a letter to Secretary, Franny Surkamer. President, Cathie Kr a mer, reads an announcement over the intercom system. Under the capable supervision of President Cathie Kramer, the new demerit system was installed at R. C. H. during the '62-'63 school year. This year the school participated in the newly-organized InterSchool Student Council Association. A project of this group was the student exchange program. In conjunction with this plan, Jefferson High School's Student Association President, Robbie Baldwin, addressed a Student Council Assembly at R. C. H. on School Spirit. Another activity of the Inter-School Council was the selection during Brotherhood Week of a senior boy outstanding in scholarship and activities. One student in each school was elected for this honor by the student body with the faculty making the final choice from the top three winners in this voting. Joseph Walsh was voted the R. C.H. recipient of this Brotherhood Award. Mike as Treasurer of the Student Council has a mania for money-making projects. This year, these projects included a "Clock" Contest, the Christmas Tree Sale, the Campus Store, and the "Hops." Hopefully Mike will put the Treasury in the Black. Robbie Baldwin of Jefferson High . Not to be forgotten are Student Council Vice- P~esident Mike McMahon, who is the capable sub- stitute when Cathie is disabled, and Secretary Franny Surkamer, who faithfully records demerits each Friday.

Qualifying sophmores become probationary members; juniors and seniors may qualify as active members. Father Gabriel T. Maioriello, guest speaker at the Fall Convocation, told the students that the intellectual prowess of the Pacelli Chapter members demonstates the effective use of God's gifts to the best of their ability.

H. are the product of the laborious efforts of Sister Maria Jude in her capacity as director of the Glee Club. In Spring 1963, the Glee Club tr::i velled to Lynchburg for the Regional Music Festival. They then travelled to Richmond for the Diocesan Music Festival. In addition to these trips the concerts 'on the Hill' provided a grand display of their vocal talents to the students, faculty, parents, and relatives. This praise is well worth the labor.

They tackled the task of putting together a yearbook enthusiastically, but with the passing days the staff began to realize the immense job facing them-to be completed by March! With the supervision of Sister Jeannette, the KEY Adviser, the four girls on the editorial staff secured the necessary pictures of activities, classes, and students, and the necessary copy to compile this yearbook. Editor Rosemary Griffin and Co-Editors Libby Driscoll, Judy Hedrick, and Alice Svec labored diligently to meet the deadlines. On the financial end of the KEY Business Manager Gary Wingo secured the necessary funds to produce the 1963 KEY with the help of Assistant Billy Glenn.

Under the capable supervision of Sister and the diligent labor of Consta.nce the Crier improved steadily with every edition. The finances were effectively handled by Debbie Pagano, in her function as Business Manager. Depbie's biggest duty, by far, was the securing of ads from the Roanoke merchants. But Debbie never seemed to be fazed by this task. Crier typists Betty Jo Huffma n , Ca rolyn Forrest, Sheila Murray, arid Wyn Wilson inspect the fruit of their labors.

H a rris in the An Evening The ancient mystic land of Camelot was vividly personified in the 1963 Junior-Senior Prom on the evening of May 11. Complete with towers, drawbridge, armor, and shields, it inspired thoughts of days when knighthood was in flower and heroes rode into battle on white chargers. It was indeed a night to remember. Joe Donckers, Susan Waldroup, Mike McMahon, Sarah Land, Libby Driscoll and Harris Wilson visit the refreshment table. Stella Piedmont, Sara Gillespie, David Pillis and Bob Kyle at intermission. The festivities began with a welcome address by Junior Class President Dick Hammerstrom, followed by the corona ti on ceremony . Barbara Olander reigned as Queen of Camelot, with Muriel Hurt presiding as Princess, and a lovelier court could not be found, even in the original kingdom. Next was the singing of "Mother Beloved" by the assembled juniors and seniors and then the Camelot Waltz. The specially-written rendition of" Camelot" was performed by the juniors. Senior Lead-outs and senior and junior dances ended the formalities of the evening. Music for the dance that followed was provided by the Divots. Finally sadly, at the magic hour of midnight, the "Loveliest Night of the Year" ended, and the majesty of Camelot was no more.

Even more important they have handed down to us by their everyday teachings and quiet example an invaluable set of Christian principles which will transport us through this modern, chaotic world with courage and conviction. It is as difficult to measure the influence they have had on our characters and personalities as it would be to estimate what a rich, fertile environment contributes to a growing seed. But all this we know, and this is our highest tribute: you have taught us, "to live is Christ." R everend Bernard Krimm , C.SS.R.

C. H. for the first time. As the newness of our surroundings wore off, we planned and executed our first big venture as a class-the Harvest Dance which was a big success. As sophomores we took a major part in all school activities, having many boys on the football team and boys and girls on the basketball teams. One of our most "memorable moments" was the famed dissection of our frogs and fish. Lou Piedmont shows trophies of past glory to Charles Driscoll and Leon St. Hilaire with hopes of more to come.

The Junior-Senior Prom, "Dutch liam Crutchfield, Jerry Assaid, Linda R obe rts, and Carolyn ise," highlighted the year as truly the Murray find that the American Observer keeps them up to Polona ~ date on current events and governmental affairs. "Loveliest Night of the Year." Months of practice and planning went into the artful decorations. Who will ever forget our magnificent 24-foot windmill which became the pride of the Junior Class! Our senior year was the biggest and best yet as "top men on the totem pole" began with many "firsts". We were the first Senior Class to wear uniforms, and the first class to graduate from the new R . C. H . As seniors we had in our midst presidents, editors, queens, princesses, football and basketball players, cheerleaders, glee clubers, science fair winners and representatives in all teen functions . The Sadie Hawkins Dance foreshadowed the big Christmas Dance "Snowflake Fantasy," which was our last social undertaking as vivacious seniors. 29 �Senior Activities Ring Ceremony Friday the thirteenth did not prove unlucky for our seniors. On this day the class rings were blessed after M ass by Father Hannan. The entire student body was present to hear Father's talk. He reminded the students that the class ring is a symbol of educational achievement, and since the purpose of a Catholic education is to know God, it is fitting that the rings be blessed. This was considered the "beginning of the end" of our high school careers. Father Hannan, assisted by Ronnie Grausam, blesses the senior rings of Genevieve Ferris, Linda Turk, Garry Clay, Joe Millehan, Billy Andrews and Gerald Paulin.

Judging from the looks on the faces of Mons ig nor Unterkoefler, Monsignor Knott, Moth er Lucille, Father Igoe, Bishop Russell, Father Beattie, Father Burke, and Mayor Anderson, Father Hannan must be delivering a serious talk. 52 �Present For D edication Monsig nor Uncerk oeller, Father Beattie, Father Burke, Bishop Ru ssell , Father Brow n, Mi chae l McFaJden, anJ Father Igoe wa lk through the halls calling J own G od's blessing.

During the summer of 1961, the officers-elect of the student body drew up a new constitution and by-laws for the student government of the new school. These made for a stronger and more unified governing body. Under the new constitution, all R. C. H . S. students are members of the Student Council, which is under the supervision of an Executive Council. This council is composed of the four officers and an elected representative from each homeroom. With the opening of the 1961- 1962 school session, the Executive Council began, and continued through the year its duties of planning and improving student functions. This form of government proved to be very advantageous to the students because of the opportunities it provided in the development of leadership and character. . Roanoke Catholic's Pacelli Chapter of the National H onor Society takes precedence over all other school affiliations. The Honor Society promotes Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Eligibility for membership requires scholarship with an average of 90 % or its equivalent. Service, Leadership and Character qualifications are determined by the principal and the faculty. Students may be elected as active members in their junior or senior year or probationary members in their sophomore year. At the first meeting of the Pacelli Chapter for the 1961-62 school year, November 29, 1961, seven new members were inducted into the Society, bringing the total membership to fourteen .

Through a program of prayer, srudy and sacrifice, the students aid the missions at home and abroad. Christmas baskets for the needy are being prepared by C.S.M.C. officers: Ann Graybill, Vice President; Stella Piedmont, Treasurer; Bobette Graus am , Pres ident; Elaine Lambert, Secretary; and Jimmy Collins, Spiritual Treasurer. The C. S. M. C. began its year with the induction of new members and a stamp drive which was followed by a highly successful vocation play entitled "What Shall I Be? " and a needlework drive. The Christmas season was ushered in with the filling of food baskets by each homeroom. These baskets were delivered ro the needy families in the Roanoke area in time for Christmas. After Christmas, old Christmas cards were collected ro send to five missions for educational purposes. At the January assembly, a skit, an open discussion on "Communism Looks at Youth" and the inauguration of a Mission Library took ranks of importance. Many views were obtained during the discussion, and the purpose of the Mission Library and Mission Honor Roll were explained. The remainder of the year was spent doing Junior Red Cross work, making rosaries, and studying the needs of the missions. The spiritual year closed with the May Procession in honor of the Blessed Virgin. Cast members in C.S.M.C. vocation play "What Shall I Be ' " are Beth Waldis, Stella Piedmo nt, Marilyn Wilson, Libby Nackl ey, Rosemary Grillin, .

The theme of the play was that each class of people, no matter how rich or poor, should humbly give a treasured gift to the Baby Jesus on His Birthday. This gift should nor be given for selfish desires or showiness but for the love of God. The students from grades eight through twelve assumed boch speaking parts and tableaux. The tableaux were shown with multicolored lighting through a thin black veil. After many days of hard work the float 1s ready to roll! The music was provided by the Glee Club under the direction of Sister Mari a Jude. The variety of seasonal songs added much to the gay scene. The play had a very inspiring and lasting effect upon all who saw it. The thread of the story, its beauty and implications were further carried out by the Student Council Association's initial entry, a float entitled "The Greatest Gift" in Roanoke's Christmas Parade .

The appropriate theme of this year's Christmas Dance held in the gym on December 28, 1961, was "Snowflake Fantasy." This theme set the scene for a winter wonderland in silver and blue. The basketball backboards were elegantly disguised as tremendous blue Christmas packages tied with silve'r and white ribbon. The ceiling was transformed into a sea of dozens of blue and silver snowflakes which glittered as they caught the light. During the intermission of music provided by the Chevies and the Premieres, our own Snow Queen, Linda Roberts, was crowned by Lou Piedmont. She was given a bouquet of roses and a remembrance of the night by Mike Eunice, representing the Senior Class. This, our last senior activity, was a big success. The crowd seems to be enjoying themselves. Looks as if the Chevies really have everyone's attention . 59 �Fame Comes To Debaters Camilla Buchanan captures the trophy, but congratul ations als o g o to Bo b Kyle , Michae l Bentley, and Cathi e Kram e r for a jo b well done.

The St. Thomas More Forensic Society was initiated at R .C.H. this year. Our society is affiliated with The National Catholic Forensic League and The National Forensic League. The aim of the forensic society is ro produce articulate Catholics in our generation. There were seven members in the debating group: Camilla Buchanan and Robert Kyle formed the affirmative team ; Cathie Kramer and Michael Bentley, the negative ream; while Stella Piedmont, Gordon Buchanan, and Brian Messitt were alternates. Sister Kathleen Mari a was moderaror. The debate ropic for this year was: Resolved: T hat the Fede1·al G overnment Should Equalize Edu cational Opp ortunity by M eans of Grants to the States for Pu blic Elementary and Secondary Edu cation. Gordon Buchanan practices his speech while Cathie Kram er and Bo b Kyle "touch up" their arg uments. The fact that this was the team's first year has not impaired its ability as a winning team. After being shown by a demonstration debate given at Fr.

Under the able direction of the Business Manager, the budget was set up, ads were solicited from local businesses, and financial matters were put in order. After choosing a th eme and cover, the staff serried down to work. The many weekend hours spent in busy activity produced g ratifying results at deadline time in January , March, and May. Finally there came the long-awa ited June day when the new yearbooks were distribmed. Every busy mome nt spe nt was worthwhile when the 1962 KEY made its proud debut. In April, 1961, the staff of the 1962 KEY set out for the Southern Interscholastic Press Association convention, which met at Washington and Lee University in Lexington. For rwo days they attended classes and lectures designed to provide them with all the do's and don't's of yearbook journalism. They returned with knowledge of many up-to-date techniques in yearbook production and a mounting enthusiasm for their work. The conceptions acquired at the SIP A convention were sharpened at the yearbook seminar at Catholic Unive rsity in Washington, D . C. September, and the opening of school, found the Faithful typists, Mary Craddock, Virginia Craddock, Becky Stinnett, Katherine Smith, Frances Assaid and Linda Roberts keep up with the copy as Bobette explains new material.

H. held its first May Procession in honor of the Mother of God. The entire school participated forming the rosary. The Hail Marys were made up of underclassmen while the seniors, wearing their caps and gowns for the first time, made up the Our Fathers. The Procession took place at 1: 30 on May 4, on the campus of the high school. The Blessed Mother was crowned by Senior C.S.M.C. President Bobette Grausam. Her attendants were C.S.M.C. Vice President Ann Graybill, and Lind a Turk. The crown was made of white rose buds and pink carnations. Newly-ordained Father Robert Howe gave his first sermon which truly enkindled our love for our Mother. Father Howe also gave the Benediction which took place outside. After the procession and throughout the month of May we could still hear the words of the crowning hymn echo in our hearts: "Behold earth's blossoms springing In Beauteous form and hue All nature gladly bringing Her sweetest charms to you. \Ve'll gather fresh, bright flowers To bind our fair Queen's brow ; From gay and verdant bowers \YI e haste to crown thee now."

These two courageous souls were filled with burning zeal to promoce God"s honor and glory by serving Him in the needy and the poor. No task was coo lowly, no hardship too great, for they saw Christ Himself in those whom they served. Love, a burning charity, was the driving force which urged them on and made chem select as the mono for the community, Caritas Christi Urf!.et Nos (the charity of Christ urges us). Circumstances and rimes have changed but the same spirit animates their daughters. It is interesting to note chat Mocher Catherine herself personally initiated each of the various works now being done by her Congregation, with the possible exception of foreign missions . It is with a spirit of deep reverence and gratitude to God that the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth prepare to celebrate this important anniversary, and it is with the same reverence and gratitude that we pay this tribute to them.

The team lost some heart-breakers like a 33-32 loss to Lord Boterourt and a 36-34 loss ro Norrhside. Height and experience were lacking but the boys always had that attitude to fight for that ball. Coach Ayersman taught the boys many a valuable lesson which will be of benefit to them next year and in the years to come. Roanoke Catholic's Junior Varsity gained few triumphs but much knowledge during the 1961-62 basketball season. Under Coach Bob Ayersman, the little Celts amassed more and more knowledge for future use, although they only won four games. The young team, comprised of six sophomores, four freshmen, and one sub-freshman, went up against schools such as \Villiam Byrd, Bassett, Drewry Mason and others. The team totaled 444 I Coach Bob Ayersman shows Junior Varsity players Jackie Andrews, Jack Stanley, Pat McDonald, Joey Surkamer, Bobby Butler, John Skibinski, Denis Deane, Mike McDonald, Billy Herbert and David Murphy an intricate play. 82 �The Team At Work and Play Lynwood Mitchell battles for the rebound against Brennan and Noaks while Gary Wingo stands alert.

T he Celtettes got off to a slow start in the Catholic League when they dropped a 56-18 decision to Norfolk Catholic in the first game of the season and a 56-36 decision to St. Paul's of Portsmouth the very next day. But playing their next game back on their own home court, the girls; paced by Camilla Buchanan with 26 points, defeated H oly Cross 43 -23. The team met with its first success on an away court when they easily marched by Marymo11.nt 46-13. This sweet taste of succes$ didn't last long, however, as St. Gertrude's of Richmond trounced them 72-28 in the following game. Defeated but deter mined the squad stormed back forcing H oly Cross of Lynchburg to bow in their second meet of the season. Perhaps one of the most exciting games came when St . Joseph's of Petersburg swept past Catholic 34-28 in the last quarter after a close game. In the second St. Gertrude game the Celtettes put forth their best effort but it just wasn't enough to defeat the speedy team which won . 44-30. Our girls just couldn't seem to hit the basket in the first tournament game; therefore Norfolk Catholic swept by us for a 49-12 victory. Mary Ann Montano, manager; Mrs. Roger Little, coach; and Joanne Milan, manager, discuss the results of the season. Camilla Buchanan-Captain In the consolation rounds the team did nothing in the first half but really came to life in the final quarter. The girls made a valiant effort as the guards held Cathedral's score down and Cam Bobette Grausam-Co-Captain 86 Edith Piedmont-Co-Captain �Sara Coleman Carolyn Forrest poured in 22 points. But in the end, the Cardinals proved just too good and won 37-30. The girls played like an entirely different team ro remain undefeated in the City League and take the championship for the first time in six years. The City League opener with Jefferson proved to be an easy victory as the girls took it. Fiemin[!, also offered little trouble as some brilliant defensive work held the Colonels to 8 points and our girls chalked up 23. The forwards really tore up the nets with a balanced scoring attack against ]eff erson to trounce them a second time 58-13. Confident that no one could spoil their record the undefeated team again came out on top as Flemin[!, bowed with a score of 34-11. Cathie Kramer Joanne Knott The biggest rival for first place in the city was Patrick Henry. When the teams first met, our girls barely squeezed by and again our guards did an excellent job as the score 20-17 indicates. Ar the time of the final game of the season against Patrick Henry tension was high. Our victory would mean the championship and since they had lost only to us, their victory would have tied us for first place and meant a play off. It was an exciting game all the way. Bobette Grausam Jed the team with 11 points, rebounds, jump balls, and in the final minutes of the game scored the 2 points that put the game on ice. The team did an el_(cellent job of freezing the ball the remainder of the rime and became city champions by a safe 30-25 decision.

Y0 u �The Key Roanoke Catholic High School 620 North Jefferson Street Roanoke, Virginia 24016 Magic Title 1 �Magic Always being a part of things has been important for students at RCH for many years. This year was no different, for each and every Celtic was a part of the magic. In sports, victories were numerous and celebrations were frequent. When defeat was suffered, the magic still remained. The togetherness of t he students was never more present than after a loss. With more than half the school participating and all the rest supporting, Celtic teams were winners all the way around. All school activities were full of the magic. Pep rallies brought out spirit as never before . The Drama Club showed the talent and magic present in us all. Everyday school life was special as all the students fit into the fomily of RCH . Victories and togetherness, spirit and learning, all of these made it a magical year. Magic 1s mistletoe. ·I -~ Magic is surprise. Magic 1s children . 2 Theme �Magic is a way of looking at life. Magic is smiling . Magic is Christma s. Theme 3 �Dedication: Wh e n he a r ri ve d at Roanoke Catholic, the first thing he t old us as sophomores was that w e were "wi se fools ." From this initial act of endearment, Mr. O'Connor continued to win our hearts and respect, and the Class of 1982 therefore dedicates this yearbook to him. Mr . O'Connor brought to this school many good things: he brought strong leadership; when there was no morale, he brought motivation; when there was no direction or goals set, he brought a sense of purpose; and, most obviously to the student body, when there was no discipline, he brought down his thundering, velvet hand and earned the respect that he righteously deserved. Mr. O'Connor was, and always will be, a special friend to the Class of 1982. He taught us not only Religion 11, complete with his "little tidbits" and his broad use of the Latin 4 Dedication �Mr. O 'Connor language, but al so more important ly he taught us how to learn; for this we are t ruly thankful. Mr. O'Connor got along well with our class, treated us as intelligent individuals, respected our opinions, and did not force his upon us. He was always there to give counsel if requested, and he was always willing to hear our personal, educational, and economic class struggles . We remember many m eetings held in the confidence of his office, and we sincerely appreciate his openness towards us. This yearbook is here because Mr. O 'Connor believed in th is school and instilled this belief in the faculty and student body of Roanoke Catholic. Although he has heard it countless times at pep rallies throughout the past three years, we would like to say it one more time : " We love you, M r. O'Connor!" rs convocation, Mr. O 'Connor cong ratulates and pre to T im Rowe . Ded icat ion 5 �6 Sports �Sports 7 �Cheerleaders It all started as a small flame, but then, with the aid of the Roanoke Catholic J.V. and Varsity Cheerleaders, "magical spirit" became a burning fire. It began as a difficult year; there were new cheers to learn, new stunts to practice, and many hours of hard work. But the combined elements of spirit and determination outweighed the complications the squad encountered. Throughout the school year, the cheerleaders created an explosion of magic and enthusiasm. Yes, it was the "magical touch" of the J.V . and Varsity Cheerleaders that sent spirits soaring during '81-'82. Karen Harvey claps for the team and shows her enthusiasm du · a pep rally .

Cheerl eaders 9 �10 Football �Football '81 Though Victory Stadium lies silent and empty now, the memories of this year's football season linger on . The Celtics again faced a tough schedule; often outmanned and outsized, they continued to display the fight and spirit they are known for. The Celtics claimed victory in two games, but the other games were hard fought battles that took more than luck to win . For the 11 Celtic seniors, it was the end of a part of their life that began in the eighth grade, and all of them are proud to say that they played football for Roanoke Catholic. Though Victory Stadium lies silent and empty now, it waits; it waits for the noise and confusion of the years to come. Spectators eagerly await the "off the wall" action at Victory Stadium .

Using their wealth of experience, the Celts fought to a 17-6 regular season record . Big victories were abundant in the Celtics' spectacular season. Lord Botetourt was a 9 point victim in an action-filled January game . North Cross fell twice as the Celts continued their dominance of that series . The fact that no team beat the cagers twice is a tribute to their perserverance and talent . Frank Blankemeyer, David Debo, Scott Fell, B.J . Fitzpatrick, Jeff Greiner, Chris Nelson, Jimmy Neuhoff, and Tim Rowe were the seniors on the squad, and there were juniors Jeff Ayersman, Jimm y Cuzzocrea , and Robert Hardie, with sophomore Brian Chubb to round out the team ro ster.

The crowd is excited, and the players' spirits are uncontrollable . You go up for the rebound, and everything seems to change right in front of your eyes. You come down in complete agony and pain . All your hopes of playing in the future games have been shot because of one injury! This seemed to describe the Celtics' luck. Most teams that they played towered over them in height and in number . This year's team consisted of twelve players, but gradually was sifted down to nine. Every game was a challenge, but with the help and encouragement of Coach Kimbleton, the Celtics proved their loyalty, devotion, and especially their love for basketball and the team . 16 Girls' Basketball Geri McGarry, nearing her l OOOth point, ta lks with Coach Kimbleton about what strategies to against opponent LCA at North Cross durhe BRC. • l �GIRLS' BASKETBALL OPPONENT Patrick Henry 26 William Fleming 29 Salem 52 Pulaski 46 North Cross 27 Stuart Hall 44 Pulaski :42 LCA 48 Seven Hills 44 Chatham Hall 62 North Cross 37 TCS 64 LCA 43 Holy Cross 32 St. Gertrudes 41 Holy Cross 32 Chatham Hall 53 Stuart Hall 52 St. Gertrude's 47 Marymount 38 TCS 52 Seven Hills 24 LCA (BRC) 34 TCS (BRC) 44 Chatham Hall (BRC) 40 Marymount (State Cat holic) 34 Holy Cross (State Catholic) 26 W-12 L-15 us Coach peers an xiously onto the girls work for two at their basket .

With nine players returning from a 13-5 team, the 1981-82 team was expected to do very well. They did . After an early season loss to YES, the J.V. Celts went on an incredible 17 game winning streak. The win streak included a revenge victory over YES at YES . With a talented starting fi v e and a strong bench, the team walked past several opponents. Other highlights of the year included two revenge victories over Lord Botetourt, two easy victories over arch-rival North Cross, on early season born-burner at Galax, and a big victory at Carroll County.

The team was virtually new and inexperienced; with only one returning starter at the beg inning of practice, spirits were, nevertheless, high. Ther. came the scrimmages, and the young Celtic team realized that they had a lot to learn. It was time to work, and that is exactly what the girls did . They showed that, despite the odds and the opposition, they were a 'magical ' force to be reckoned with . Other teams laughed at the Celts, even when they pulled close upsets .

This all the coaches firmly believed - all but one. Coach Kimbleton reported to the girls what had happened at the meeting; it seemed that the comments of the other coaches were the final bit of incentive the girls needed. When the BRC came, RCH was ranked very low; however, with the guidance of the coach, support of the cheerleaders and fans, and their own basic skill, the Celtics pulled an upset, stealing the 3rd Place Trophy . The girls were happy; they showed that any team with the right ingredients can magically overcome the odds and win .

That's all they seemed to do! The struggle never ended. Pounding a way to the top, striving for the goals set at the start of the year. Goal number one was, as usual, a successful prom and baccaulaureate. The shattering expenses kept the Prom Committee, Carol Canary, Chris McGarry, and Lourice Thomas, dreaming up extensive ideas for wheeling, dealing, and peddling goods. Enthusiastically, the student body supported the juniors' unceasing efforts. Interesting examples were scrumptuous doughnuts and sweet smelling carnations. The most reliable source to foll back on was Bingo at Happy's.

Grueling practices took place in anticipation of a crushing victory over the seniors in the annual Powder Puff game. Unexpectedly, the final outcome was a tie . Earlier in the year, the juniors had elected their officers, who were Robert Hardie, president; Mary Canfield, vice-president; Mary Anne Donato, treasurer; and Danielle Mistele, secretary. Seriousness began when most juniors realized that the future was a reality and studies would have to be concentrated on more. They listened intently to various speakers and visited colleges around the state while awaiting their PSA T scores . They made it ... through it all studies, work, and good times .

Juniors 39 �Sophomores "We are family" is a familiar song that best describes the class of '84. The sophomore class was a close-knit group that was always seen together at parties, movies, games, and concerts. The family atmosphere the sophomores created helped many new students adjust more easily. High on the list of priorities for the sophomores was getting involved. The sophomore boys were seen on the football and lacrosse fields, on the basketball and tennis courts. The girls were involved with cheerleading volleyball, softball, tennis, and basketball. Participation was a key word for sophomores during the 81-82 school year. The sophomores and their "family togetherness" kept the flame of Catholic unity burning brightly throughout the school year.

Sophomores 43 �Freshmen I "Outgoing in action, body, and estate," the freshmen went for it all to make themselves known to the school this year. One motto that fits the class of '85 is : "Go for the gusto!" All year, the freshmen expressed this by deeply involving themselves in everything possible. This year during the homecoming pep rally, the freshmen showed their patriotic spirit by winning the spirit stick. During this school year, the freshmen laid down the law to the sub- Maurita Daw and Toi Tin sley wolk into school together with a feeling of excitement for th e doy to came.

Of course, there were some freshmen who thought it was unjust to pick on the subfreshmen, but that didn't stop the others. Freshmen said the year surely wouldn't be a 'shade of gray,' and it wasn't. New people in the class made the year even more exciting and fun than they thought it ever could be. Jennifer O'Brien stays after to discuss matters with Ms. Surat.

Everyone was excited about the hops, pep rallies, football games, and all the other activities of high school. The subfreshmen noticed a big change in the work load. The students taking languages - especially Latin - really had to buckle down. Everyone (with a few exceptions) tried very hard, and some made the honor roll. The subfreshmen preferred small groups, but everyone had a good time no matter the size of the group. The new high schoolers discovered there was quite a difference between elementary and high school - such as the schoolwork - but enjoyed the change.

Most teachers felt the year was academically rewarding for the students, even though there were plenty of complaints . It is difficult to see a teacher's point of view when one is a student; as a result, there is often controversy. During the year, the teachers had to put up with everything the students did, and more. They had long Wednesday faculty meetings. They had to suffer through the hot and cold days. They had to keep students calm and quiet when vocation time was near. They had to plan; they had to keep time open for students who needed extra help. Day by day . . . always together . ... Who could know us better than our faithful teachers? They were always there to talk to, to give advice, to share things with. Each helped the students in special, magical, never-to- be-~r~t~ays. /' &1,J "'"'~ e.."1l ~'I · f' '7 tt-' r~Bob f Ayersman Y I"- 'L\.- j q Vi:~ ~al,!eway Jane Callahan Mamie. ~ -)' c/ ~ f" ""' {(. ·'v r~at~'t<'-"'Yf'I! ti ~ J .A" f (;\( Cf> l ,JI\, () ". \"&> ,J (" e, J"~ t ( S P'?

The anticipation was sometimes overwhelming, the anticipation of finally receiving their own bond to the school they grew up in and in which they had shared so much . Class rings. A close connection to distinguish the whole class . Mr . O'Connor kept the rings while everyone was waiting for the big day, Friday, October 9 . On Friday morning, the juniors prepared themselves at home to look their best for the ceremony at Our Lady of Nazareth. There was constant chatter among the juniors while waiting, and Mr. 56 Ring Day �Ring Day O'Connor was almost ready to give up. The other students arrived from school, sot down, and the juniors marched into the church, proud and smiling . Robert Hardie, president of the class, gave a welcoming speech, Carol Conary spoke on the meaning of getting the class rings, and Laurice Thomas gave the class prayer. Rings were presented to each student personally by Mr. O'Connor with the assistance of class moderators, Mr. Exstrom and Mrs. Stephens. At lost it was over. The time come to turn the rings 83 times, to indicate the lost year of closeness. Ri ng Day 57 �It's Time to Rock, Bump, Punk The opening hop on Sept. 4, 1981, was sponsored by the SCA. The 8th graders were anxious to see what their first hop would be like, while the upper classmen came to use it as a meeting place or see Franklin Blankemeyer serve as Disc Jockey for the hop . The success of the Homecoming Hop seemed to comply with the theme, "The Best of Times ." Exuberance, energy, and spirit were vented through continual dancing at this heated hop. F.B.L.A. sponsored a '"SO's Hop" which motivated those daring students to pull out old letter sweaters, saddle shoes, and, of course, pony tails and g'reased hair were essential. Several couples entered a dance contest, for which the F.B.L.A. gave a $5 .00 prize to the winners, Steve Rosalia and Debbie Ringler. The Christmas Dance, sponsored by the seniors and the SCA, was on December 20, 198 l, and sparked Christmas spirit. Hops and dances at RCH can be a lot of fun, but only if people participate; this year, there was a lot of rockin', bumpin', and punkin' 58 Hops and Da nces �The Main Event The week of September 21 was Homecoming '81 . The big game was scheduled for Friday the 25th against North Cross, and the week preceding the game was filled with spirit activities. The sponsored days for the week were Gang Day, Punk Rock Day, and Green and White Day. The traditional bonfire was Thursday night, followed by a hop-given by the SCA; the Homecoming Court was announced, and its members were: 8th Grade Attendant, Michelle Cash; 9th Grade Attendant, Pauline Donato ; l 0th Grad.e Attendant, Kathy Rhinehart; l l th Grade Attendant, Dina Ferracuti; 12th Grade Attendant, Beth Doyle; Princess, Mary Anne Donato; and Queen, Elaine Russell. H omecom ing 59 �Bridging Two Worlds Miss Surat, David Harvey, John Geisel, Scott Wilson, Steve Clayton, Jeniffer Huhn, Jennifer Najjum, and Laura Vorst departed for England from RCH on the morning of October 15, 1981 . They were the first group to represent RCH abroad, and they had no idea of what lay in store for them . The pioneers were shocked at their first excursion into Watford and London, and they quickly learned how to detect the different varieties of punkers: Mods, Skinheads, Heavy Metals, Mahicans, and Punks. At Parmiter's School, Hertfordshire, students from RCH found that school was pretty much the same, except the English appeared more advanced in sciences, and had Home Ee., Technical Drawing, and Art; whereas, at RCH, grammar, math, and languages are more advanced. The seven RCH students and their chaperone returned in November, 1981; they returned to their regularly patterned lives - except they had better knowledge of two faraway yet close worlds.

The priests of the different churches shared their knowledge and experiences with students and teachers to help them look more closely to,-vard God and bring everyone together in a special way . Many priests had formed strong relationships with the students, and this helped provide a good surrounding for trust and a sense of good feeling . There were plenty of disappointments throughout the year, and one of them was the leaving of Father Duarte. There was a Mass celebrated by him for the high school and the elementary school. It was a sad occasion but a happy one, for he was going to a place where he was needed. The first Mass of the year was celebrated by Fr. Charest at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and the Thanksgiving Mass was celebrated by Fr. Barrett at St. Gerards. 62 Spiritual Life �Father Duarte and Mr. O'Connor embrace in a sign of peace during Father's last Mass as Associate Pastor at St. Andrews. Bishop Sullivan's visit to RCH was a rewarding one with much reaction and interest from stu dents. Sp iritua l Life 63 �'The Right for Life' On January 23, 1982, it was still dark at 6:00 AM., and ice lightly covered the road . 36 students and four chaperones went to Washington, D.C., to represent their school and church's views on abortion and the rights of old people. The event was called "The Right for Life." After an unsuccessful attempt to see Sen . Warner of Virginia, the bus load of people went to a Dominican monastery, and then to a Franciscan monastery where they attended a Mass celebrated by the Franciscans. On the way home, they stopped to eat dinner in Manassas, and found out that there was about 15 inches of snow in Roanoke . A decision was mode to stay at the Madonna House in Harrisonburg for the night. After the roads were clear the next day, the bus set its course for home. It was a trip to remember, for it was filled with magic . After getting off the bus in front of the Was.hington Monument, stude nts follow ~ Da vid Harvey and John Geisel to the Mall to listen to s peeches on abortion. 64 March fo r Life �Mr. Louis Agee Mr. Agee is known by every student at RCH. Although we did not see as much of him this year as we did in the past, his unselfishness and willingness to help will always be remembered. Mr. Agee first came to RCH in August, 1976, as the custodial manager. He single-handedly seemed to keep the entire school clean, a job fit for at least two men . Even up to his retirement on December 1, 1981, Mr. Agee would always be on hand to help a class with a special project. We will certainly miss seeing Mr. Agee in the halls of RCH every day, but we know that his love will always be with us, as ours is with him. Cyril N. Brunner, Jr. Mr. Brunner came to RCH in 1975 after having served on the faculty of the diocesan high school seminary, St. John Vianney, in Richmond . His three year tenure ( 1975-78) is remembered as one i11 which the close relationship between student and teacher grew and blossomed into a true sense of companionship, friendship, and trust which still characterizes the Roanoke Catholic family today . For three years, RCH was graced by his presence . We shall truly miss him now that he has earned his eternal rest . "The Just Man Shall Be in Everlasting Remembrance" (Psalm 112). Requiescat in Pace! lr:i honor of Mr. Brunner, tl:ie Scli:\.001 Bomd Leadership Award has been r-em;:imed the Cy Brlllnner A wars and will be awarded at Graduatioo to the senior who exemplifies Q:;rth01ic I · ership and service w.hich Cy Brunner so f1tt1ngly li ved out ir;i his life.

Coyne, has been taught two basic ideas: l) anyone, with a little practice and a little patience, can learn to draw; and 2) learning to draw can be (and usually is) fun. In the club, each person is encouraged to develop his or her own style while still following the basic outlines of elementary artistry. The Drawing Club was composed of many very talented people and wa s led by Mrs. Coyne. The members were Michelle McKenna, Coley Nelson, Wes Patterson, Paul Stump, Tracey Blaney, Angela Co sgrove, Carroll Schultz, Reed Crow gey, Randy Webber, Elizabeth Short, Adrian Harvey, and Mimi Eanes. '..:. Chess Club The Chess Club was composed of students from all grades who were chess fanatics. Each time the club met, the students would pair off and match each other's chess skills. Because there was no need for a treasury, they elected no officers; however, Mr . Ayersman was the "chess king" or advisor. The club challenged Staunton River Chess Club to a spring duel for their only inter-school competition . The Chess Club, led by Mr. Ayersman , had a lot of fun in tournaments . Pictured are the members Paul H ildum, Kim Craddock, Mimi Eanes, Tara Brow n, John Burr, Robert Hardie, Marc McKenna, Jimm y Neuhoff, Robert Mills, Cliff McCormick, Frank Ri x, Richard Spangler, and Tom Carter. 68 Clubs ··. ,. ~ ... .- J fj·" .... _ �Debate Club The Debate Club was one of the benefits of the newly-formed activity period. Through this time, a small but enthusiastic group studied the techniques of proper debate. The group decided to change their name to take in all aspects of public speaking, and became a forensic society. The senior members and the adviser, Mr. Plunkett, took a trip to Marion, Virginia, in February to speak to a youth group on Christian Morality. The Debate T earn was small, but it was a fun group. The members were Kathy Plunkett, Lisa Kern, Doreen Plunkett, Beth Doyle, and the adviser, Mr. Plunkett. Drama Club The Drama Club put on two productions this year, No Fading Star as the Christmas play, and M*A*S*H as the spring play. This was a successful year for the club; membership and spirit were exceptionally high . The club made pointed efforts to better itself by attending various workshops . The Hollins Workshop (an annual event) and the Charlottesville workshop gave the club many new ideas for warming up, acting, and approaches to acting . Officers for 1981-82 are: President, Lisa Kern; Vice President, Beth Do y le; Treasurer, Reed Crowge y; and Secretary, Maura Plunkett.

Clubs 69 �Future Business Leaders of America F.B.L.A., now in its second year at RCH, again proved to be a great success. Under the careful supervision of Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Bear, the club had a very profitable year managing various money-making projects. The projects varied from putting on a '"SO's Hop" to sponsoring a ski trip to Wintergreen . Unfortunately for the club, it was not allowed to have its big moneymaker, the cookie sale, this year. Officers for 1981-82 are: President, David Debo; Vice President, Chris Nelson; Treasurer, Steve Rosalia; and co-Secretaries, Franklin Blankemeyer and Tim Rowe.

Folk Group The Folk Group at Roanoke Catholic experienced a dramatic growth spurt this year which greatly increased the quality of singing at liturgical services . With so many new voices, the group faced the possibility of disbanding after their worth was questioned early in the year . Mr . Pilachowski led the group, playing his guitar as well, and Beth Doyle and Catie Turpin were the flute accompanists . The Folk Group proved its talents this year by si nging at many of the school 's liturgical services. Pictured ore members B.J .

The years 1882- 1982, the names Big Lick and Roanoke, St. Andrews Catholic Church, and Norfolk & Western : What do all these have in common? The making of a 1 OOth birthday. The name "Roanoke" comes from an Indian word meaning "shell money," and the city has many good and bad times in its history, in addition to having an historical Indian name. In 1898, the people of the city watched the Hotel Roanoke go up in flames; not all was lost though, and the hotel was re-built again . On November 25, 1949, a star was born . The Mill Mountain Star was lighted to shine over the city and remind the people of peace and happiness. Nationally, it was also a year of good times and bad, of beginnings and endings. We saw the renewal of Republican control of the White House as President Reagan was inaugurated . We saw threats to the lives of peacemakers, resulting in the death of Anwar Sadat. These events, combined w ith the assassination attempt a imed at President Reagan, left Americans greatly outraged and saddened, but served to unite them in t heir common cause . This unity was shown in many ways, the most memorable one being t he attendance of the surviving exPresidents at the funeral of President Sadat in Egypt. It was a year of new ideas and one of act ion . Americans saw the first 80 V olley I N otion I lnternotionol The Roanoke Volley celebrates its 1OOth b irthday in 1982. �.. .

The excitement of being with good friends was present in everyone. Parties were good-natured gatherings where everyone was welcome . Classes were informative (and even sometimes interesting .) Clubs were filled with hardworking members who truly cared about fulfilling their tasks. Everyone was involved, and everyone was a part of the magic. School life was soothingly structured, and the world seemed good. As we look ahead, we all hope we can keep some of our magic with us always . Many will return to the Celtic family and continue to improve its strength . Others will move on with magic memories of Roanoke Catholic always present. No matter what the future, everyone will remember 1982; the year, the people, and especially the magic . Magic IS friendship ... and moments of laughter 102 Closing ... we remember forever. �Autographs 103 �- we I \ 11 I ~ u.nh I Jhlv\'.:iu...' \,GLl.. 1-+ l 1 I ~ 1 ..4Jho t_AE fVaVICe . reo..QQ..19- dJ tJ.h 1+ r 1-1 sif;1 1 0 ~ ~~ ·D~ ~<i ~ ~ GA FT-u.n I( ( I YJ ', -t-h l:::, ~ yR:.:u - whev-i ~ m o elQ ~ \)cu... rrtp u.. 1o+ u ?'u.ri OJrR t·+ u.:cLt.lO.... no+- he\ l{'.

That phrase, perhaps better than any other, seemed to characterize the school year. It was a year of ups and downs, of mixed emotions, of uncertainty. It was a year of victories in sports, for RCH teams almost without exception turned in winning seasons . The cheerleaders inspired the fans, even in Richmond when the Celtic basketball team was beaten in the semi-final game. A winning season capped by loss. Such was the year. Pep rallies inspired spirit; students applauded the Drama Club' s efforts at the plays; Carousel was enormously successful, thanks in large part to student effort; these were moments of sharing . But there were the 'down' moments as wel I: a president and a Pope shot; a former Beatie murdered; the world seemed mad at times . Victory seemed tinged with sadness; the year, and sometimes life, seemed a shade of gray. Field day on M ay 1 proved to be on e of the psychological ly sunny days of the school year.

Openi ng 3 �r 4 Student Life �Parties, games, concerts (and occasionally studying) made up a student' s life. It was the hot dates on cool nights of cruising the strip on Williamson Road. The flickering of bics after concerts to bring back a long awaited group. Most students within the school, especially the eighth graders, found out life did not end with studying, but began . Many activities happened within the school to bring about spirit. A brutal battle between the juniors and seniors in the annual powder puff game. Dirt flew, faces were scratched and legs were kicked as the senior girls overpowered the juniors 7-0. During spirit week, students were allowed to be out of uniform if they complied with the attire of the day. Due to the abuse of a few, no more such days were given. Discipline, as always, was a problem. Again it came down to the actions of a few that stopped all dances. Every school function after the victory dance came complete with an officer. In an effort to bring the family closer together, the S.C.A. started family nights. These nights started with dinner, then it was on to the main events. The first family night featured sack races where families competed with and against each other. The last famil y night had a beauty contest where the boys and coaches dressed as girls. The winner was Jimmy Neuhoff, alias Brooke Shields . The nights where everyone met under the Tanglewood sign to decide where to go, and the morning meetings in Wasena Park before school , all completed the life of a student at R.C.H .

Student Li fe 5 �Fads: An Orangutan, Alligators "What are we doing this weekend?" "Any concerts, movies?" And so it was, every time near the end of the week. The big decision: What To Do. Not too many people had answers, but something always came up. After deciding to see a movie, the next question was what to see. There were many films to choose from: "Excalibur, "Ordinary People," "Endless Love," "Tarzan : The Ape Man ." According to most students, the outstanding films were "Ordinary People" and "Excalibur." The Civic Center featured concerts when movies were unappealing: REO Speedwagon, AC/DC, Kenny Loggins, Molly Hatchet. Musically, 'punk' set in for the new year and caught on fast. People all over were dressing punk, even preps . But the preps were everywhere; the look has not gone and probably never wi 11 . 11 \ Celebrity look-ali kes ri de in a ca rri age after a mock wedding at the Faces di scoth eque in Chicago. .

Chance Crawford, quarterback for Salem High, was tackled by a linebacker from Bassett High School on October 3, 1980. He was left paralyzed from the neck down. The star shone as a symbol of hope. The Valley pulled together to raise money to help pay Chance's hospital bills. In September, Gary Foutz, president of South East Protective Association, protested against sludge from the Roanoke Sewage Treatment Plant. The sludge had settled on SE Roanoke fields, 16 inches deep in some places, and costing $8 million to pump out. This caused a big stink when sewage rates were raised. The carry out age for beer was raised to 19; an 18 year old was still able to drink beer on premises of bars and restaurants. This law became effective July 1, 1981 .

This caused most series to postpone tapings, which delayed the start of the new fall TV series. However, on November 22, the world was allowed to know that Kristen , not Sue Ellen, had shot J.R. Ewing on the CBS series " Dallas." Bob Keeshan , Captain Kangaroo, celebrated his 25th anniversary. Richard Pryor had serious burns from an explosion that was rumored to be drug-related. In sports, Roberto Duran lasted seven rounds against Sugar Ray Leonard before giving up, saying he didn't feel well. Duran was fined $7,500 for the walkout, but received $8 million for the fight. Virginia Tech beat UVa in football 30-0. However, UVa proved themselves in basketball, pulling away with the NCAA title. Steve Carlton won the Cy Young Award for pitchers for the third time. The Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. The 1980 election was a memorable one, because of the one-sidedness of the outcome . Ronald Reagan not only carried most of the 50 states, but Republican candidates for the Senate and House also ran away with most of the votes. This gave the Senate a Republican majority for the first time in many yea rs. Independent candidate John Anderso n was able to gain 6% of the votes.

On November4, 1980, the hostages marked one year of captivity in Iran. Americans wore and displayed yellow ribbons throughout it all to show their support for the hostages. President Jimmy Carter refused to light the traditional Christmas tree until their release. Khomeini and the terrorists holding them finally made plans for the transfer of the hostages. They decided the U.S. had met their demands voiced by Algerian mediators. The U.S. was never certain until the plane left Iranian air space and America was ecstatic when the plane touched down in Algeria . After getting food and clothes, the 52 Americans boarded an Air Force One jet and caught up on news, such as what teams were going to the Super Bowl. All emerged at Wiesbaden, West Germany, on an American Air Force base with yellow ribbons and bows. After ' adjusting there for a week, they made their way to New York for a ticker tape parade. The next week was spent in privacy at West Point with their families. The day of their release, January 20 , 1981 , will be remembered by many proud Americans as the day of the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as President of the United States . Billy Carter, the President' s brother, registered as an agent for Libya to insure hi s possession of the $50 ,000 he had received from the Libyan president.

Others followed his example in Ireland 's Maze Prison . Riots raged in Ireland and in London, England , with a number of buildings being destroyed by fire. In September of 1980, Iraq war planes flew over Iran and reportedly killed over 1,000 people. There had been a long-standing dispute over a • piece of land. Iraq jets next struck an oil refinery . Iran fought back with more strength than the Iraqis expected. A shaky truce was established in the beginning of 1981 . Polish solidarity labor unions had strikes, but feared Soviet intervention. The Soviets did invade the neutral country of Afghanistan with 100,000 troops equipped with tanks; however, the Afghan rebels fought back. To protest this invasion, the U .S. boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. In early June, 1981, the Israe li s bombed a nuclear reactor near Baghdad, Iraq, fearing the future nuclear bombs produced there would be a " mortal danger to the people of Israel.

Students frolicked about the park, engaging in such activities as frisbee throwing, tennis, softball, and basketball . The braver sou Is tackled the giant earth ball, and went running across the fields, and in some cases flying into the air, risking bodily injury, all in pursuit of good clean fun. Another highlight was the softball game between the students and the faculty. Under the capable leadership of Mr. O'Connor, the teachers proceeded to lose in a comical fashion, to the delight of the students. At the day's end, everyone was happy, well fed, tired and more than ready to go home. Field Day was obviously a great success.

On the morning of October 10, the parents, faculty, and student body gathered at Our Lady of Nazareth for the Ring Day Ceremony for the Class of 1982. The Juniors had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Franklin Blankemeyer explained the feelings of the Juniors to the congregation: " A class ring is not just a band of gold, but a symbol of the love, friendship, and unity of the Class of 1982. It also serves as a remembrance of our high school years." Members of the junior class participated in the ceremony by giving the welcome, reading scripture, and giving the closing prayer. The folk group, accompanied by Beth Doyle, Terry Johns, and Mary Reid on their flutes, led the congregation in singing. After the juniors received their rings, the girls were given a carnation and the boys were given a boutonniere. All the juniors went out to lunch at the New Yorker. Later on in the day, man y faces appeared around the school. The most exciting part of the day w as show ing off their rings, and getting fri ends and faculty to turn them. The tradition is to have your ring turned a number of times equal to the year you graduate . Your best friend starts the tradition and your boyfriend or girlfriend locks it. O ne junior remarked, "Our rings give us a sense of ?elon?ing. It symbolizes our _union w ith Roanoke Catholi c and w ith the other members and friends of our class." 16 Ringday Fath er Ya nofc hik, Mr .

The school sponsored many hops and one dance. With the S.C.A . being the main sponsor, there was everything from live bands to Mr. Joe Bear playing records. The victory dance took place in November, where the actions of a few upperclassmen almost ruined the idea of future dances . After that dance, all hops were securely chaperoned by parents, teachers, and a police officer. The officer watched people entering the door to see if they had been drinking prior to their arrival. If they were thought to have had any "cold beverages," they were subject to a breath test. At all the hops, there were bake sales in the gym lobby to raise money for various groups. Friends gave friends free snacks from the bake sales, sometimes leaving the club with no food and very little money. Most hops cost fifty cents to enter, but a couple were as expensive as a dollar. All money raised from the hops helped support other activities throughout the year.

Senior"Lori McGarry was named Queen; Princess, Elaine Russell; Senior Attendant, Fran DeWitt; Junior Attendant, Lisa Kern; Sophomore Attendant, Monique Amos; Freshman Attendant, Maria Canary; Subfreshman Attendant, Tara Downes. Although called a victory dance, it was not a celebration of victory over opponent Clifton Forge; rather, it was a celebration of Celtic spirit and pride, both of which proved to be unquenchable even in the face of a scoreboard which proclaimed defeat.

It was a year shaded gray for both the yearbook and the newspaper. As ever, the school year began with a large number of RCH students expressing an interest in and a desire to work on the yearbook; by early summer, 1981 , the ran ks of the faithfu I had dwindled to only a few students . Only one returning student worked on the yearbook in those final days of desperate hurrying to get the book finished by the beginning of school in August. Members of the class of '81, and even one member of the class of '80, were left to get out the book . They were left with the distinct feeling that current RCH students lacked any real commitment to a yearbook, and expressed doubt regarding its future . After an absence of a year, a school newspaper made a reappearance with a new look and a new name . CoEditors Dan Dowdle and Cathy Harvey were committed to the idea of a ' newspaper of quality, and their efforts bore fruit in the form of the new Catholic Chronicle. The paper published two issues in '80-' 81 , and student response to it was generally positive. Although no final senior issue was published due to lack of funds, there was hope that the paper would continue to publish, and publish more than two issues . Time, student interest, and finances would tell. Natalie Stennett looks through some headlines to find the main stori es of 1980-81. Natalie worked on both the newspaper and yea rbook, for w hich she was inducted into Q uill and Scroll Honor Society. 20 Qu ill and Scroll ' \ " �A Far Off Time 11 - Also new to RCH was the chapter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honor Society for High School Journalists. Mr. Coyne established the RCH chapter to give recognition to those students who have performed outstanding services for school publications. To become a member of Quill and Scroll, a student must be a junior or senior; he must be in the upper third of his class academically ; he must have done superior work in some area of journalism; he must be recommended by the chapter adviser; he must be approved by the Society's executive officer . Five members of the class of '8 1 were inducted as permanent members of Qui II and Scroll: Rachel Bolden, Annette Cuzzocrea, Cath y Harvey, Natalie Stennett, and Barbie Swanwick. The revival of a school newspaper, the formation of a chapter of Qui 11 and Scroll Honor Society, the publication of the yearbook: these were al I reasons for hope, for promise . But student involvement in publications at RCH , or its lack, shaded the year gray w ith uncertainty and the future gray w ith doubt.

On a warm Sunday evening in early May, 43 seniors and two advisers met at the school, with gear in hand, and prepared to leave for 2 1/2 days of peace, quiet, and solitude at Camp Bethel. The event was the senior retreat, headed by Father Mattarazzo, affectionately referred to as Father Matt. Mr. Coyne and Mrs . Manganelli can both testify to the fact that any moments of peace, quiet, and solitude were few and far between, but that was to be expected with a group of 43 high school students away from home. It wasn't all fun and games, however. Some serious, thought-provoking discussions between the seniors and Father Matt and letters to the seniors from their parents gave everyon e the chance for some quiet time alone .

It is the story of a father of a dozen children whose time is running out and who wants the most efficient household in the world. As part of his plan, Father whistles assembly calls, eliminates " waste motions" in taking baths, and plays French records in the bathrooms. Because of the warmth of the cast about their " family" in this production, the laughs and the sorrows were shared by the audience. The play was directed by Ms .

She also taught senior Religi o n . Besides the seniors dedicating the yearbook to Mrs . Manganelli , she was a lso c hosen by them to be Baccalaureate Speaker. Two years ago when Cathy Manganelli first came to teach here, we had no idea of what to expect from her, and undoubtedly she had no idea of what to expect from us. As time passed, we grew accustomed to each others' habits and got to know each other quite well. Then came the realization that Cathy Manganelli was not just another teacher; she was quite a special lady. Serving as a junior class sponsor is not an easy thing to do, but Mrs. Manganelli tackled the job and managed it beautifully. She did everything from refereeing fights to figuring the costs and ordering merchandise for the Prom. Most importantly, she gave us the freedom to plan the Prom as we wished, and she was always there with a practical suggestion or a helping hand. After the prom , in addition to managing graduation rehearsals for the seniors, she helped with the planning and serving of the Baccalaureate Dinner. Mrs. Manganelli has continued to serve as our class sponsor this yea r. She has been an intermediary between the senior class and Mr. O ' Connor, helping us to reach compromises on such important issues as senior privileges and the dress code . She has also helped w ith intersession , senior retreat, and graduation. Throu ghout her three years here , Mrs . Manganelli has been a friend to students from all grades , as we ll as the Class of ' 81 . But because we've been through so mu ch together, she' s more than ju st another teacher to us. Her help, guid ance, and more importantl y her friendship have made her our very special all y. Dedication 27 �'Along the Road': Prom Memories On May 8, the juniors were frantic that something was going to fal I through, but by 2:00 p.m. they were setting up. Couples arrived at Roanoke Country Club by 8:00 p.m . in order to be in line for walk-ins. The court was last in the walk-ins, followed by crown carriers Erin McGarry and Ben Davis. The junior attendants were Lisa Hart and Elaine Russell. Senior attendants were Cathy Harvey and Karen Ringler. The prince was Franklin Blankemeyer; princess, Karen Harvey; king, Frank Thompson; and queen, Fran DeWitt. After the court was crowned , they danced to the prom theme son g, " Along the Road " by Dan Fogelberg . After parents left, the atmosphere seemed more relaxed. Couples danced everything from slow to country to disco to even punk as played by the Royal Kings. With the night flying by, it was 1 2 o'clock before anyone realized it. The prom was over at the Roanoke Country Club, but not for the night. A majority of people headed to Our Lady of Nazareth for a breakfast prepared by parents, while others went back to their own houses for breakfast. It was a night of parties, varying from the Omega to the parkway. As the night closed and final good-byes were said, it was a remembrance of the night that faded away fast. For many, prom night will never be forgotten, but for others, it's just a shade of gray.

Prom 29 �The 'Road' To May 8 After a year of financial difficulties and preparation for a dream night, the juniors on May 8 were able to display their efforts . The prom committee, which had been selected the previous year, had Karen Harvey as chairman and co-chairman Lisa Kern and Tim Rowe. Problems soon began after the chairman had been selected. The first problem was where the prom should be held . The final decision came to be Roanoke Country Club. The next problem was favors. The guys naturally selected beer mugs, but the girls wanted something more personal. In order to keep cost down , pin cushions were made with help from the juniors' mothers. Just when everything seemed to be going along perfectly, Mr. O'Connor informed the juniors that Roanoke Country Club was not available. It seemed all plans would have to be changed. Finally, through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. David Hart, the juniors were able to get the room back. The Harts not only chaperoned , but also laid their membership on the line . Diane Patri ck and her escort David Debo make their entran ce. 30 Prom �The Prom theme was appetizingly stated by the cake shared by those in attendance.

Just as everything changes w ith time, a new festivity was added to the ceremonies . For the first time ever, the seniors wore their robes to Honors Convocation which was held at O .L.P.H . Even though the Convocation was for all the students at RCH , the seniors became the main focus of attention. Not only were honors bestowed upon deserving students, but a twist was also added . The seniors were capped and then qualified members were permanently inducted into the National Honor Society . All the awards usually given out during graduation were distributed at Honors Convocation, which included the naming of Salutatorian Ellen Murphy and Valedictorian Patty Canfield . This left very few presentations during graduation . When asked to comment about the change and added dimension in ceremonies, Barbie Swanwick said , " The ceremony was too long but nice and awards went from most academic to most pimples ." Fath er Gormley sh ares hi s appreci ation for such an honor bestowed on him . Marth a Baughan is presented her diploma by Mr. O'Connor. 32 Graduation �The festivities continued May 25 with the Baccalaureate Mass and dinner held at O.L.N. This was a touching moment in the seniors' lives, because it would be the last time they celebrated Mass together as a class. After Mass, the seniors and their parents were invited to stay for dinner which was sponsored by the junior class. During the dinner, each senior who had lettered in a sport was presented with a plaque . Finally, the day of May 28 had come for each senior to march down the aisle and receive his or her diploma. It was a joyous event for the graduates, because they knew how hard they had worked for that night. They were determined not to let a few tears disturb their moment of joy. All they could think about was that it was finally over . RCH would no longer be a part of their lives because they were now a part of its history: They were the class of 1981 . Salutatorian Ellen Murphy urges graduates to remember th at th ey w ill always be th e c lass of 198 1.

Grad uation 33 �The Morning After The Night Before It was a night of smiles and sighs, of laughter and tears, but after graduation ceremonies all seniors were of like mind in one respect: it was an occasion to celebrate. Seniors were greeted by a crush of friends and relatives upon leaving St. Andrews, and everyone proceeded to the gym for a reception hosted by the PTA. It was a time for goodbyes to teachers and classmates; it was a time for parents to share their joy with other parents and friends. Following the reception, seniors headed in several directions. Many proceeded to Dan Dowdle's house for the ritual emptying of the keg; others went to the Lake for an evening of partying. A number of seniors headed for the beach a few days later. No matter where the seniors traveled immediately following graduation, they had a common experience: they were now RCHS alumni, moving on to individual futures , towards important decisions and irrepressible dreams .

Gradu atio n 35 �J6 Clubs �At the beginning of each year, enthu siastic students join their favorite club . It all seems to start out great, but then there's a let down , a let dow n to the teach ers , and to the real devoted students . The clubs made it through the year somehow, with hard work and lots of complaining . The complaints were from all over, and most probably came from the yearbook staff. Everyone started out with a willingness to help. As th e yea r went on , onl y a few of the real workers stayed and kept the club together. Working together was important in trying to keep a club in order. Starting new projects caused a lot of di scouragem ent, but having faith in ea ch other kept everything alive. FBLA was the club that had a tough new start; th e beginning of th e Celtic Cookie Corporation wa s something new and was a doubtful project fo r many of the members. As sa les went on and orders went in, the CCC became a big success. Not all clubs had complications . The folk group, with a new director, managed to get everyone to show up and make the practices worthwhile. The SCA managed to give m any hops. At one of the hops, th ere was supposed to be a robot to liven up the night, but he never showed . D ec isions were faced by all of the clubs . Indrama, there was th e constant d ec isio n of who would be chosen for parts in th e upcoming plays. Th ere were also deci sions in playing c hess. When pla y ing chess, the players had to co nce ntrate on w hat to do next, w hat m ove they should make. Keep ing a c lub together had its hi gh and low po ints. Many disagreem ents came and went.

The S.C.A., along with its adviser Mr. Craddock, has performed many valuable services that have benefited the students as well as the whole school community . The officers were: Michael Rogan, president; Mark Keeley, vice-president; Jimmy Neuhoff, treasurer; and Patty Canfield, secretary. Each grade had three representatives. The Student Council Association is not just another club or group in our school; it is a representative of the student body. The purpose of the S.C.A. is to serve the students and be a medium through which the students can voice their opinions to the faculty and administration.

The officers were: Nancy Slough , President; Lori McGarry, Vice-President; Rodger Katz, Secretary; and Natlie Stennett, Treasurer. They put in their time and effort to make this club as much fun as it was. The SOC has done many things this past year to help the school such as making posters for games, doing bulletin boards, and hanging up pennants in the lunch room . The SOC has also helped senior citizens by visiting senior citizens' homes on Valentine's Day, holding a luncheon for senior citizens in the Elementary school gym on Valentine's Day, and taking senior citizens to the play given by the drama club.

FB LA 45 �46 Sports �With another school year coming to a close, there also came the ending of another successful year of sports at RCH. Posting numerous winning records, both boys' and girls' teams showed that they had the true competitive spirit. With an extremely tough schedule to play, the footbal team ended up 3-6 . Under new head coach Gus Exstrom, the highlight was a hard-earned victory over arch-rival North Cross after "Nuke North Cross" day. Similarly, in the female fall sport, Volleyball, the girls made it four BRC's in a row by once again defeating Holy Cross on their home court for the title. With winter comes basketball season for both the guys and the girls. While the Boston Celtics won the NBA title, our own Roanoke Catholic Celtics didn 't quite reach proportional heights. Although they didn 't win the state championship, they had a more successful season in the win-loss department than in the previous year. The girls were very pleased with their own success, coming out second again in their BRC conference. With a heart-breaking loss to Holy Cross by one point in the last two seconds of the State Catholic Tournament, the season was over for good. Not being able to avenge thi s bitter loss, the girls went into softball season with revenge in mind, and revenge is what they got by defeating Holy Cross twice. In lacrosse, the boys, as usual , put their sticks to work and came up winners. The golf team won their first match in season , and the tennis team s showed that winning is not everything. With very young players, the future of tennis has a bright spot in the sports program . While it may not be easy to uphold the winning tradition as it has been established at RCH w ith the loss of many excellent senior athletes, the younger ones have their w ork cut out for them in future season s. Jay Ayersman, Fran k Blankemeyer, Willi am Rosser, and Tim Rowe gather to discuss strategy late in the game aga inst Covingto n Boys' Ho me . The Celtics blew the game open in the second half fo r a 66-48 w in . Sports 47 �A Season of Ups and Downs The start of football practice was near, and one could sense excitement as the Celtics were to begin their second year under Head Coach Eddie Joyce. Joyce had led the Celts to a 5-5 record the year before, creating new optimism among the students and parents as wel I as the players. Well , the thoughts of Joyce leading the Celts to a winning season were quickly erased as Joyce resigned as Head Coach to accept the coaching duties at Natural Bridge . With the August 10 starting date for full contact practice only a few weeks away, the hunt was on for a new coach, and finally the committee responsible for finding the new coach decided on Gus Exstrom. This was a pleasant surprise to everyone who had gotten to know Exstrom the year before as a new science teacher and as an assistant footba 11 coach, J. V. bas ketba II coach and boy's tennis coach. On being appointed to the new position , Exstrom , a University of Oklahoma graduate, said , " I was surprised and very excited about being in this position this early in my career." However, no one who knew Coach Exstrom doubted that he would do the best job he possibly could. The season opened at G. W . Carver, where the Celtics were planning to attack by using their high powered passing game, led by twotime All-State quarterback Terrance Johns . But because of heavy rain , this strategy was nullified , and the Celts had to be content with a struggling running game which ended in a 7-20 defeat. But the Celts were not to be discouraged. The season climaxed to the annual cross town rivalry game against North Cross. The Celts seemed to take all their frustration of previous games out on them. Wear- Ce ltics sq uare off on the line against N orth Cross, prepared to fi erce ly battl e th e Raiders. Peter Guilfoyle is ready to jo in the acti o n o n th e play. 48 Footba ll ing bann e r s which read " Nuke North Cross, " the Ce ltics did exactly that. Th e Ce lti c s jumped ahead of the Raid e rs on th e very first play of the game. Knowing that the middle of the Raider d efense would be wide open and weak, Coach Exstrom sent in a play which was to follow. Having received the play, Celtic quarterback Terrance Johns dropped back to pass and hit Jay Ayserman for a 75 yard score. From the beginning, the Raiders were doomed and the Celts came out victorious for the third consecutive time that the two teams have met with a score. Even though the Celtics ended up with a 3-6 record, the season was an enjoyable one . But things are looking good for next year's Celtic team . This year, the Celts has 2 college prospects on the team in Mike Norton and Terrance Johns . Together, they have received letters of interest �from such schools as James Madison , UVA, Wake Forest and Ohio State. The trophy winners on the team were: Jeff Ayersman (Best Defensive Back) ; Brian Downes (Best Offensive Lineman); Jay Ayersman (Best Defensive Lineman) ; Mike Norton (Best Offensive Back); and Terrance Johns (Most Valuable Player) . Brian Downes, Jay Ayersman , and Terrance Johns were also named to the 1980 Catholic All-State team. At one of th e home games, William Rosser scores a touchdown. Jay Ayersm an carri es the ball fo r a tou chdown aga inst North Cros s.

They had won the BRC three consecutive times, but nobody believed they could do it again . They did , though, and shocked everybody at the conference. People said their luck had run out. Winning has been a tradition in volleyball for many years. As the 1980 season started, many hopes were high and the girls had a lot to live up to. They had won three consecutive BRC championships, and they were ready for their fourth. Some changes had been made within the team ; players had been lost and gained, but the best change that occurred for this team was the new coach , Carolyn Kimbleton. Her devotion and love helped the girls put together a winning season and a fourth BRC championship. Though the season started out with very high hopes, the Celts were defeated twice by archrivals Holy Cross. Besides the two losses, the girls were undefeated . Although the losses to Hol y Cross put a damper on the girls' spirits, they resol ved to prove themse lves in the tournam ent. Being seeded second, the girls pla yed in the first round, overcoming North Cross. The tough part came next, defeating Holy Cross .

Experience The Varsity boys basketball team began the season with a feeling of optimism. There were four starters returning along with a number of key reserves from the State AA Cham., pionship team. There was experience filling every position - experience which would definitely pay off during the year. Experience on the players' part, coupled with Coach Ayersman's coaching experience and dedication to winning, enabled the Celts to defeat Gibbons 74-65 in overtime. The Celts were able to keep up with the Saints until the last quarter. With one second left in the game and the Saints up by two points, there was a jump-ball between William Rosser and one of the Saint players. Under the Celts basket, Coach Ayersman called a timeout and set his plan into action .

William Ross er leaped up, tapping the ball to Franklin Blankemeyer, who in turn tapped it into the basket - sending the game into overtime. The Celts went on to win against Gibbons, but for Frank Blankemeyer, the excitement of scoring his 1,000 points during the game was th e greatest. That game will never be forgotten. Each member of the Celtics gave his all in every game. There was a togetherness exhibited in the team which could be seen by the spectators. They represented a lot of talent and ability for the sport. This was displayed in th eir season record of 11-5. Expe rience was the key for the Celtics this season.

Boys Varsity Basketball 53 �Celebrate Good Times The Girls' Varsity Basketball team had a lot to be proud of. Under the guidance of Coach Kimbleton, the girls received a sound foundation in the fundamentals of basketball. Throughout the season , the girls performed relatively well. This was evident from their record of 19-10, which surpassed the previous year's record . The season began with a daily activity of laps, weights, and suicides. The constant drilling and conditioning enabled the girls to defeat three Triple A teams. Their performances surprised many critics, because the girls had never played Triple A schools before. The Celts ran across a lot of competition , not only from their own conference. The girls had a tough game against North Cross which resulted in a humiliating loss. The second time the two teams met, North Cross was defeated . The Celtics performed wel I for a season of 16-8 overall, 2nd a conference record of 11-3 . The girls received a second seed for the BRC. They defeated Timberlake Christian and North Cross to advance to the finals against Holy Cross . Patri cia Ren aghan and Daniell e Mi stele have mi xed feelings about th e pl ay.

The Celtics led the game during the first three quarters, but Holy Cross came from behind to win the BRC. The girls' performance surprised many skeptics when they took second place in BRC. The girls played like a team working toward a common goal. Even though they fell short of achieving a victory as such, the girls still have ample reason to celebrate.

Home Play Playing on your home court can be a great advantage to a basketball team. The J.V. Celts proved this theory, as they had an 8-1 record at home which, when coupled with a 4-4 record on the road , gave them a 12-5 record this season. The Celts seemed to come alive whenever playing in the friendly confines of Catholic's gym. This was evident in the game against VES . The Celts turned in a superb effort and avenged an earlier loss to VES by winning at the Catholic's gym 51-47 . Brian Chubb had 19 points, Jeff Willard 14, and Robert Hardie was 10 for 10 from the free throw line. The Celts played probably their best game of the whole year in a losing cause at Stuarts Draft 69-68. A three point play with two seconds left sealed the Celtic' s sloam. Jimmy Cuzzocrea played a superb game, scoring his game high of 25 points. The Celts went on to defeat such schools as Covington Boys Home, Holy Cross and arch rivals North Cross . The Celts performance this season was one of dedication and spirit. This says a lot for the up and coming Varsity team. J.V.

Basketball �Jumping High In 1980, a young and inexperienced Celtic basketball team traveled to the annual State Catholic Tournament and came home with the AA championship victory. In 1981 , the experienced and matured Celts entered the tournament with hopes of clinching the AAA championship. Although the Celts had the second best record , they were seeded fifth. They were undefeated in the Catholic League regular season, capturing the AA regular season trophy. With nearly 200 rowdy fans in the stands and 12 eager players on the bench , the Celts faced fourth seeded Ireton Friday night in the first round games. Although Ireton had a 2-9 record , they appeared to have a strong team . The Celts overpowered Ireton 66-56, with William Rosser leading the Celts with 19 points. This placed the fired up Celts in the semi-final game with Benedictine on Saturday night. Entering the game with Benedictine, the Celts were aware of Benedictine's record of 10 consecutive state Championship victories. The fans , also aware, rose to the occasion and faithfu Ily cheered on the Celts . With Jay Ayersman playing excellent defensi ve first half, and Franklin Blankemeyer doing his job on th e offensive end , th e Celts were hopeful at halftime, trailing only by 10 points . However, in the second half, the powerful Benedictine Cadets prevailed and defeated the Celts 52- 76, with Franklin Blankemeyer leading the Celtics w ith 19 points. Even though the Roanoke Catho li c Celtics didn ' t win the tournament, they left their mark in Richmond. The Celtic fans were recogni zed by most people to be the row di est group for th e number of people th ey had cheerin g.

Team That Almost Wasn't With another spring comes another year of softball . It was a chance for the girls to release the tensions which had built up over the long winter months. This was evident during practices in which more time was spent telling jokes rather than going over plays. Due to the exceptional coaching ability of Coach Kimbleton , the girls' softbal I team was transformed from a bunch of misfits into a team of high caliber. Once the girls got past their foolishness, they became a threat. Even though they lost to the number one seeded team, LCA, by one run , they exemplified team play. Their season progressed smoothly with a few high points when they defeated their rival s, Holy Cross and North Cross. The girls entered th e BRC seeded next to last, which match ed th em against Holy Cross in the first round. After defeating Hol y Cross , the girls faced two losses , thus ending an y hopes of bringing home a troph y . Once again , they fell short of a victory, but it is not because they didn 't deserve it. They tried their best, but their hearts were just not in it. Maybe next year softball w ill become an important part of their li ves. Coach Kimbl eto n moti o ns Moniq ue Am os to first base.

The offensive-minded Celts outscored their opponents by an overwhelming 75 to 28 . This year' s team was young but not inexperienced , which was evident in the finesse with which they played lacrosse. The Celtic stickmen broke many school records this year with their offensive and defensive ability. The season was an exciting one , and the hard-working Celts were paid off by excellent student attendance at all home games. Lacrosse is becoming a very popular sport at RCH.

Lacrosse 63 �Bear's Cubs Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders were born on April 18, 1980, when the new cheerleaders were announced on the final day of tryouts. The Varsity's first official function was the Channel 15 Auction. After that, they began practicing to prepare for cheerleading camp at Longwood, August 4-8. Beginning during the summer, theJ. V.'s spent a lot of hard hours at practices, camp, and various fundraisers, such as car washes and bake sales. Both squads were kept busy during the school year. During football season the Varsity sponsored buses to games, so ld porn pons, and held a poster contest with the theme of "N uke North Cross." Cheering for football games every Friday and volleyball ga mes during the week left them little time to themselves. Although the J. V. only had two football games, they still worked hard . They met every Wednesday afternoon for practice and cheered enthusiastically at the pep rallies. The game was over; they'd won their first basketball game against Danville Christian . The J. V. score was 79-50, and the Varsity score was 79-51. Everyone was nervo us , including the cheerleaders, but in the end they were overjoyed and ran out on the court to congratulate the players, all wet with sweat from playing a hard game. The cheerleaders themselves, tired, hot, and worn out, said the first step had been taken and a great season was ahead of them . It was a winning season for both the team and the cheerleaders. A lot of time and energy was put in by both squads cheering for the varsity girl's ba sketball team. The cheerleaders ended th e season with a spaghetti dinner for all three teams. As an end of the season gift, they gave Mrs. Bear a baby shower. Although it was time consuming and hard work, it is a sure thing that no cheerleader regretted participating . They arrived spirited and peppy for every game, and even after a game, on the ride home the spirit and fellowship didn't end . J.V.

Over there, it's an RCH bumper sticker. I know whose car that is - it looks like Mrs. Friel 's." All around the Valley there were cars with RCH bumper stickers. "I think it's neat to see cars going around with the name of your school on the back of the car, " said one student. "Whenever I see a car with an RCH bumper sticker, I speed up to see who it is, wave, and then leave." Leaving always seemed to be something everyone enjoyed doing. Students for some odd reason always tried to leave class or school early. It was fun to look forward to assemblies, Mass, or activity period, but the idea of the buzz of the final bell seemed like the call of heaven . In the halls, before and after school, there were always students around, from 7:30 in the morning until about 5:30 p.m. A student with a major detention could usually be found after school cleaning classrooms and helping Mr. Agee . After having made it through five years of detentions, classes, and assemblies, it was finally over for the seniors . Alas, no more coming back; it's only visitations and reunions left. No more would they be found joking around in the halls. It was time for those still left behind to advance more independently of those who had gone . A time to gain more confidence and self-esteem. In effect, to look back on the past and to look forward to the future. A shade, good with bad , to blend together to make a gray. A place, like Roanoke Catholic , in which to give and receive love and to grow. A face, maybe yours, maybe a friend's, only to cherish and to share with for five years. A time, an effect, a place, a face , nothing ever left but a shade of gray. Glenn Ro sa lia smiles w ith sati sfacti on in M r. O 'Connor's office.

The theme was ...C " You're My Lady of ' 80," based on the Q_ song by Kenny Rogers . 0 Fund raising projects were scarce, Cf) but profitable.

The "preppy" attire consists of monogram sweaters, add-a-bead necklaces, kilts, jumpers, and blazers . Adding to this selection is the well known lzod family. The footwear is the basic penny or tassel loafer, Docksiders , Nike tennis shoes, gum shoes and dexters . The "preppy" artic les range from $3 to $60. The articles could be bought from J. Loftins, Bonomos, John Norman , and Davidsons . Many guys at school avoided the "preppy" look, but wore loafers, Docksiders, monogramed sweaters, oxford shirts and khakis. A true "prep" would not only dress in the attire, but he also had an attitude of being above everyone.

The parents came up the night prior to the party and decorated the school with red and white ribbons and hearts. Every classroom had a poem on the board reminding students they were special. Most students were unaware why there was no last period until they walked into the gym. Students were greeted with smiling mothers and tables of food.

It was the same people who would put several hours into planning each class perfectly, only to have the students spend more hours doing the work. These same people, though, would spend time after school to help tutor, direct a play, or coach a team . Although the teaching staff was small, they were devoted , spending man y hours helping students with their problems ranging from school to perso nal matters. Teachers were also struck with the dirty work of cafeteria, hall , or bus duty, and the long faculty meetings after school in the library. Even though they would occasionally overhear a co nversation in the hall, or drool as one would eat lunch , they were still able to maintain the respect of the students.

Here at RCH, it usually takes the form of a casual chat with Mrs. Ann Friel, our own guidance counselor. Mrs . Friel 's job is primarily to help students make decisions ranging from choosing electives to deciding between colleges . She gives advice, but the final decision is left up to the student. Because of her job, Mrs. Friel comes into contact with students from all grades, as well as all the teachers . This gives her an overall perspective on the school that not too many people have. It also causes her to spread herself a little too thin at times. Her years of experience enabled here to handle the demands on her time with ease. Mrs. Friel also had two assistants, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Zipfel. They could always be found in the office doing things from typing to the rolling of diplomas for the graduation ceremony. Even after all final exams were held, these three women could be found busily wo rking on class rankings and the mailing of seniors' final transcripts.

Each afternoon, Mr. Loui s Agee and his son Greg were seen constantly trying to keep the school presentable, but it became a little difficult when one had to follow a bunch of whimsical kids. "Overall , the students haven 't changed. They are still the same as five years ago when I first came." Mr. Agee could always be found attending to repairs or cleaning the school. There were some times when the school did not receive a good cleaning . This was only because Mr. Agee would have to sacrifice cleaning for repa iring a blown out control panel or replace a piece of equipment. His concern for the welfare of the school and its students was always in the forefront of his mind . The second half of this reliable team was found in th e kitchen slaving over hot stoves . They are known to the students as Sarah (Martha Spickard) and Gerry (Gerry Drumheller) . Each day at lunch they were bombarded by hungry students in demand for their meals. Above all the commotion co uld be heard , "What would yo u like?" Gerry would serve trays while Sarah collected the money . The main thing that kept the school organized was teamwork. Gerry prepares to face an arm y of hungry students .

Her name is Mrs . Mamie Callaway . She has been with Roanoke Catholic for eighteen years, and has seen the administrations of eight principals come and go. The most important thing that Mrs. Callaway did was to ring the bell which indicated the beginning or ending of a class . She was a vital part of Roanoke Catholic and of the students themselves. " The students are really great and I love working M rs. Mam ie Ca lloway is hard at wo rk preparing a letter to be sent out to the parents. 100 Secreta ri es here," she says. Mrs. Callaway was not the only secretary to be found in the school. There was Mrs. Fran Zipfel who worked in the guidance office. Her responsibilities included posting of grades, typing correspondence, dealing with guidance, and other small jobs handed to her by Mrs. Friel . "I enjoy my job in the guidance office, but there are never enough hours in the day to complete the necessary work. The woes of a part-time job." M rs.

Everyone needs money to take care of the necessities of life Cowboy hats, designer jeans, an occasional date or movie, and, of course, partying! Some have more money than others, but we all feel the pain of an empty wallet every now and then. We spend our money on everything from jewelry to clothes to food and drink. In turn, businesses offer us the goods and services which we so desperately need. Indeed, money makes the world go round. We here on the annual staff recognize and accept this as a fact of life, and have put it to good use. By selling ads, we offer local businesses the opportunity to advertise in our yearbook . This small bit of financial wizardry helps cut the price for you, the student. Now, far be it from us to claim that we were the originators of this brilliant idea. Advertising has been , around since the dawn of history, and · we just picked up on somethings that's been fabulously successful for years. Advertisements are on radio, on T.V., in newspapers and magazines, and practically everywhere we look. Sometimes it seems overwhelming. But advertisements serve a very useful purpose. They provide companies and businesses with the opportunity to make the public aware of their goods and services, and let the consumer know just what he has to choose from . Let' s face the facts: the whole point of business is to sell , sell , sell , and you can't sell your product to the public unless the public knows what you 've got. Then , on the other hand, a consumer can't choose unless he knows a little about all the various products. Enter advertising, the solution to both problems. By taking advantage of the cold , hard facts of the business world , the annual staff manages to provide a valuable service to the business community of the Roanoke Valley, lower the cost of the yearbook, and above all , bring in some money ! The Roanoke Vall ey business commun ity supports The Key throu gh the purchase of advertising. Readers may choose fro m amo ng these businesses w hen shopping.

Like Colophon 127 �A Shade of Gray It was one of those years nothing seemed to go right. Excitement flared, but somehow things never went the way they were planned. It was as if one cou Id say, "After the excitement, comes a fall." Things went straight down the middle, on the average. Sometimes things would have gone great, and then life was clear, bright white. Then again, life had too many downs, and sometimes it seemed as if things would never pick up; then life was pitch, dark, black. Life this year could best be described as a shade of gray - a mixture of the black and the white parts. It was the excitement of the girls' basketball team, when in the last minute they led top-seed Holy Cross by five points, only to lose the game in the last three seconds at the State Catholic Tournament. It was the impossibility of earning money for many clubs when creditors were knocking at the door. Many hours were spent by the dedicated few in clubs when others had lost interest. It was the rotating schedule when no one knew what class was next. It was a year of new ideas which did not always work out as planned. Yet, with all the gloom, the sun still found its way to fight through the clouds. It was the girls' basketball team, although they lost the game, who walked away from the Tournaments the true winners . It was the hours of the dedicated few th at got things done. It was th e few th at were able to produce a yearbook and newspaper. It was the few who organized and established the F.B.L.A. Club and the Celtic Cookie Corporation. It was the girls' volleyball team that was able to win its fourth consecutive BRC championship. There will always be those who are depressed and down; the ones who do not want to get involved. Yet, the school had the devoted ones , who showed their love and concern by being active and establishing a good reputation for the school. When one looked back on this year, it was a definite, average , shade of gray. Jay Aye rsm an leads th e Ce lti cs into th e semi -fin al game aga in st Benedi ctin e.

It had brilliant gold and reddi sh-purple feathers and was thought to have I ived for over 500 yea rs. At the end of each life cyc le, the phoeni x felt death draw in g nea r. It wo uld build a funeral py re of sweet spices and sit o n the nest, w hi c h wo uld be ignited by the rays of th e sun , burning the phoeni x to as hes. Another phoeni x wo uld ari se from the as hes with renewed yo uth and bea uty.

Mike Grace was a most gracious host. For the underclassmen there were slumber parties and roller-skating . The sophomores kept to themselves. They made their own group and held their get togethers apart from the rest. The seniors had road trips. They would pile as many people into one car as it would hold and serve cold beverages . Many people went cruising down Williamson Road, honking at and talking to all the cute people they saw . No night of cruising was considered complete until going by the market. The city police cleaned up the market but some people still roam its streets . The school had dances and hops to help bring people closer together . These gave couples a chance to date as friends. It also helped the younger students who otherwise would not be able to date. The school had some activities, but the classes were close and they found many ways to get together on weekends and during school break The local hang-out became th~ Ground Round . Many students t around and enjoyed the free pope~::, and peanuts. The freshmen class held a farewel 1 party for Renee Herbert at the G d roun Round.

Prep clothes varied from button downs to lzod shirts to navy blue blazers. Shoes became main items in one's wardrobe. They varied from Candies and "Crapstompe rs " to loafers with no socks. Most of a prep 's attire looked like a lighted neon sign (bright green , orange, pink, and yellow were the basic colors). A fraternity at the University of Virginia did not favor the trend of the "prepp ie" so they developed a poster to express these feelings. It showed exactly what preps wear and what they do. Included on the poster were a heavenward nose, striped belt and matching watch band, flood level pants, and a pin-striped buttondown or " Richie Cunningham" collar. There was also a test to take to find out whether or not one was a "prep." Some of the questions included: "Do you dress in a manner which attracts women - to other men? If you had your life to live over again, would you sti ll fa ll in love with yourself? If Moses had seen the way you dress, would there be anoth er commandment? And at your football games, do you dress like a neon sign?" Prep clothes were seen at conce rts but were scarce compared to the western sty le. Durin g the year the Civic Center brought severa l good concerts. The Eagles, Forei gner, John Denver, and Heart all came. The high1ight, though , was when Robin Thompson came on May 5.

The New York City transit workers went on strike, leaving the city's subways and buses idle as thousands walked across Manhattan's bridges, or rode bikes or boats to get to work . After a three inch rain, dispositions became strained and a cyclist bit one of New York's finest. Bank robberies were on the rise across the country. A Virginia bank offered a reward for the return of a bag of money delivered by an armored car. The money had been "deposited" outside the bank and the truck left. It was garbage pickup day. The money was retrieved from the city dump . Patricia Hearst was released from the federal prison in Pleasanton , California. She had served 22 months of the seven year sentence she had received for her part in a bank robbery. Gordon Liddy, a Watergate partici- pant, is trying to prove that crime can pay. He has written a book about his involvement. He stated he would have been willing to kill columnist Jack Anderson had Nixon given the word. In Washington, Mt.

Every four months Mr. O'Connor appeared in his academic garb and we paid tribute to honor students at Honors Convocation Assemblies. October brought an assembly on how to sell magazine s. Apparently we learned well since we made a large profit for the school. The November assembly was very special to th e juniors. They re- ceived their school rings and realized high school was coming to an end! December brought the annual Christmas skits. Each class, except th e eight grade, entertained us with th eir own comedies. In February, we assembled to hear the good news that R.C.H.S. had won a free hop from W .R. O.V. Our school had raised the hi ghest per capita donation for the Blind Athletes. March was the assembly for National Catholic School Week . We gave thanks for our Catholic Heritage and our teachers rededicated themselves to our education. The Apri I assembly went off campus. The high school went to see the movie JESUS at the Terrace Theatre on Holy Thursday. A special assembly on April 29 announced the Prom Court. May 9 brou ght a fun assembly at Wasena Park. We played softball, frisbee , and tennis. The P.T.A. gave us a cookout for lunch . June arrived and we had our final asse mbl y .

Mr. O ' Connor gave out rings with the aid of Miss Callahan and Mrs. Manganelli, while musical selections, chosen by the junior class, vibrated through the church. Prior to getting their rings, the girls received a carnation and the boys a boutoniere. Outside the church, a class picture was taken. The class then headed for Bonanza on Williamson Road where the class had lunch. After lunch , many went home. Some went shopping. Many students used th e time to get started on ring turnin g. Th e tradition of ring turning involves having your ring turned , while wearing it, the same number of times of your year of graduation. Th e first turn, toward the pinki , it made by one's best friend. The final turn is usuall y done by one' s boyfriend or girlfriend. Most juniors were complaining that their fingers were sore around the twenty-fourth turn . For the juniors, the rings symbolized the final initi ation into the hi gh school and being a junior. At last it's time for th e ce remony to begin. Ring Ceremon y 21 �Awakening On Sunday, May 4, the seniors left the Roanoke Catholic Campus to attend the senior retreat. The retreat, held at Camp Bethel in Fincastle, Virginia, lasted from Sunday evening until Tuesday afternoon. The retreat master, Father Mattarazzo, known to the seniors as Father Matt, is from New York. He was also the retreat master for the rest of the school on Wednesday , May 7. The retreat gave the seniors time to be together in prayer and to just have fun. Free time was spent swinging, playing lacrosse, volleyball , walking and just sitting around talking. One senior described the retreat as : "The last time the seniors were all together and a lot of fun." ./ Steve Seymour recieves th e c hali ce of w ine at a junior a nd so phomor e m ass on M ay 7 in th e co nven t' s c hape l.

Retreat 23 �Crime and Punishment Spitballs, smoking, skipping and drinking (which many consider the better things in life) are reasons for which one gets sent to Mr. Craddock, the Dean of Discipline. Demerits were eliminated while detentions were introduced. There were two types of detentions, major and minor. The minor detention was a half an hour after school helping Mr. Agee with cleanup. A minor was given for chewing gum or disrupting class . Majors , the big "D", were two hours of after school cleaning. These were given for smoking and repeated offenses. Fin all y there was suspension . This was the dreaded "S". Only for the worst offenses was th is used . Once the culprit was found, he was sent to Mr. Craddock. Mr. Craddock would discuss the offense with the student or students. After a consultation with Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Craddock informed the students of their decision. Parents we re called and told. Th en it was sleepin g late, watching TV and shopping: pure vacat ion until the suspension was over. After returning to school , a lot of work was needed to be made up , and the stud ent had o ne final talk with Mr. Craddock.

Four days later, she arrived in Roanoke to stay with the DeWitt family on Smith Mountain Lake . Carmen Lorena Arancibia Carrasco, nicknamed Lolly by her American friends, was an exchange student. In the exchange program Lolly was interviewed and accepted. Eight months later, she fm.;nd out what country she would be visiting. !hi: was the summer before Lolly' s 1un1or year at Maria lnmaculada Concepcion .

A required subject in Chile is "I really had a good time at both the English . As was to be expected, hop and the dance."

The Prom held on May 11, 1979, at Hotel Roanoke has been called one of the most beautiful Proms in Roanoke Catholic history. That honorable comment would not have been made if one special person had not been involved with us. She held us together and cooled down hot heads when indecision threatened to divide us. She made artful and constructive suggestions which helped us develop the ideas that made the Prom a memorable event. In our senior year, when the class began to have problems and disagreements with the administration, she acted as a friend and medium. As both juniors and seniors, we turned to her repeatedly without disappointment. She is more than a teacher; she is a friend and a remarkable lady. Because of this, the senior class of 1980 dedicates THE KEY to Mrs. Terri LaRocco. Mr. Robert Ayersman has been a fixture at Roanoke Catholic for more than fifteen years. Coach, as he is known to many whether they have played a sport for him or not, is one of the few faculty members who have been with us our entire five years. As underclassmen we always had Coach there to give us ideas and help us make the transition from grade school to high school. When we were juniors, he was always offering ideas for raising money and came through with the biggest fund raiser we had . Coach Ayersman has shown us what hard work , dedication, and a little bit of faith will accomplish. A fine example of this is the State Championship he and the varsity basketball team brought back from Richmond. His total giving to this school has affected us in many ways. For this reason and others, th e senior class of 1980 dedicates THE KEY to Mr. Robert Ayersman.

A li son Metzger, prom princess, escorted by her date Tony Downs is greeted by head waiter Jimm y Neuhoff before she takes her place on the flats. 30 Prom �Midnight Magic The lights dimmed and the band warmed up while couples waited for the walk-ins to begin. At the same time, nineteen couples were just getting their main courses at La Maison Du Gourmet. The walk-ins were to start promptly at 8, but since the court and other couples were still eating, the walk-ins were delayed until 9:15. By 8:30, Miss Callahan and Mrs. Manganel Ii , prom sponsors , were frantic. Nobody knew why so many people were late. At last, couples began to arrive . Tim Mistele , announcer , rejoiced when people started to show, for he had a Sing-Out function to attend. All the waiters were sophomore boys; many of them cleared $20 or more in tips. After the walk-ins , the court danced to the prom song, "Still " by the Commodore s. The fount a in flowed and the room glistened as After Six got down with music to keep everyone on the dance floor. The Crystal Ball Room at Hotel Roanoke was decorated in dark blue and silver to coenside with the theme, Midnight Magic. On the tables were booklets and napkins with a picture depicting the theme. The same picture was on the flats drawn by Greg Osterhaus . The boys' favors were beer steins while the girls' favors were champagne glasses. Unfortunately, the girls' favors came a week late causing chaos for Alison Metzger, prom chairman. Many did crazy things on prom night while others got romantic at the Mill Mountain Star. After the prom , many went to the Metzger' s house for breakfast. Also , the Knights of Columbus provided breakfast for all the seniors and their dates. The glorious night was over.

' Prom 31 �And End and a Beginning Having started the year off with a new principal and many new guidelines to follow, it was with joy and anticipation that the senior class of 1980 graduated. The ceremonies began May 29 with the Baccalaurette Mass and dinner held at O.L.N. When asked to comment on this ceremony, Robert Poole said, "The mass gave us the advantage of being able to remember our past in an excellent slide show that Adele Wheeler put together, but the dinner was really classy." The dinner, sponsored by the junior class, consisted of roast beef, potatoes and gravy, fruit, and fruit tarts. Some of the junior girls and their mothers helped in the kitchen while the boys and some more girls played waitresses and waiters for the seniors. The next step for the seniors came on May 30, graduation night. The seniors were lead by a man playing the bagpipes into the church to start the march onward to "Pomp and Circumstance. " After the diplomas were handed out and the tears were flowing, everyone went to the reception held in the high school gym and then to Hollow Creek Pool on Hershberger Road for a big pool party . Within the next two days most seniors made their big debut on the Myrtle Beach sand and surf, only to return home with a good tan and no money. The emotion of Jennifer Stu mp is the rea lization that this small class of 36 is soon to be separated in their own worlds of co llege and family life. The Roanoke Catholic Education Foundation made its first award for character, service, determination, and achievement to Amy Kay Scott. 32 Bacca lau rette/G rad uation �.,~1 ~ ~ ;. ;·. :: ., ' ... l Fath er Mattarazzo was th e co mrn ence m ent spea ker of graduation o n Ma y 30.

To be eligible for the N.H.S., one must be a sophomore, junior, or senior and possess the following qualities: leadership, service, character, and scholarship . Once a student has been inducted, he or she must maintain at least a "B" average. One important activity the N.H.S. members have been involved in is the tutoring program they started to help high school students. According to Nancy Slough the N.H.S. is an opportunity "to learn to work with other people, meet people, and to serve your school." After working hard to prepare for the Homecoming hop, S.C.A .

H .S./S .C.A. �When asked what her hopes are concerning the S.C.A., Vice-President Adele Wheeler thoughtfully commented, "I'd like more people to understand it's for the school. It's not just another group ." Considering the many services it provided for the students, one can see the S.C.A. is "for the school." The S.C.A. had the beginning of the year and Homecoming hops. In November, it held the Victory Dance and in March held the St. Patrick's Day Dance. According to one officer of the S.C.A ., they had to quit having hops because " it was getting expensive" since not enough students were attending them. The main fund raiser the S.C.A. had was the magazine sales handled by a company called the Perfect School Plan. This fund raiser was such a huge S.C.A. success that President Joe Metzger was able to give certain clubs in the school, besides the S.C.A., part of the profit. Another service the S.C.A. provided was Orientation Day for the upcoming eighth graders on May 1. On this day, one could see these youngsters being led by current eighth grade S.C.A. reps and officers around the school. Elaine Russel I headed another i mportant service provided by the S.C.A. - the Bulletin Board Committee . Each month , Elaine and artistic friends decorated the main floor bulletin board and kept everyone informed of S.C.A . activities. During the fall, the S.C.A . met once a week.

After a two hour drive, the turmoil of learning Charlottesville the hard way, and having reservations in nonexistent hotels, it was a relief to sit back in a Howard Johnson 's hotel room and fall asleep. But when a new day dawns and deadlines approach, what the staff has learned in the workshops must come together and be put to use. Colonel Charles Savage, alias Mickey Mouse lover and the main speaker at the UV A workshops, wou Id demonstrate the " The Do 's and Don't's ." For example, one may not use the word, " BEER" in copy and captions and if one did he would be the first to criticize it. However, during 27 hour rush meetings, in which a staff must produce 40-50 pages, the quality of the work declines and the staff is more interested in whether or not the work gets done.

Eddie Joyce took over as head coach of football. After the team adjusted to the new techniques of the coaching staff, the Celtics became unstoppable, shutting out the last two teams on their sthedule. The Celtics posted a 5 and 5 season . The varsity volleyball team came through once again and won the Blue Ridge Conference. Coach Mary Collins and the team has won three consecutive B. R.C. ' s. The girls' basketball team also came through victorious, coming in second in the B.R.C. The boys' basketball team pulled together all their talents to win the State Double A Catholic Championship in Richmond. Then the spring sports started. Two new sports were added to the roster golf, and girls' softball . The golf team, coached by Mr. O'Connor, showed only a lack of experience, but not a lack of heart in their winless season .

The girls' tennis team, coached by Mike Downs, had a rebuilding year and promise to come back strong . One of the most surprising teams of the year was the lacrosse team. Uncertain about the coaching staff until a week before the season was to start, the lacrosse team stunned everybody and posted an 8 and 2 season. Coaches Pat Gayhardt and Jimmy Dutton bought with the team a new interest in lacrosse to Roanoke Catholic with their winning techniques The Celtic season surprised many, and gave the people of the valley a chance to see the true athletic ability school was able to produce. �. . l Ms. Murray practices her Jay up shot during her free period .

With a losing record and a young team with only three returning players, clinching the Division AA State Catholic Championship more than made up for the close defeats suffered during the regular season. Going into the tournament , the Celts, with a record of 2-4 in the Catholic league, were seated eighth in the AAA division, and had to play the number one seated team , Benedic- • tine . Losing to Benedictine dropped the Celts into the AA Division. When they faced rival Holy Cross, who had handed them a sound defeat only a week earlier, the Celts were able to finally get things going their way and defeated Holy Cross 74-70.

The eventual State Catholic Champion s now had only a two hour rest before they would face Gibbons (a team who had defeated them twice during the regular season) for the AA State Catholic Championship. With a lot of support from the loyal fans, who had by now gathered at the arena to support the team, the champs although tired and wea ry, fought off a late comebac k by Gibbons to win the AA Championship by a score of 71-69.

The JV basketball team, under the leadership of first year coach Gus Extrom, enjoyed a season made up of winning streaks and losing streak s. After starting off with two losses, the team won two games before losing again. The team ' s morale was not broken anytime during the season. Though the team ended w ith a losing record, there were many high points. Amongst them were the at home defeats of North Cross , Roanoke Valley Christian , and V .E.S .

Ascent to Victory The girls varsity basketball team had many struggles on their ascent to victory. The victory does not lie in winning the tournaments, but in learning to play as a team . The team consisted of one senior, two juniors, three sophomores and three freshmen. This team was young and inexperienced , but managed to put forth a great effort. Their strong determination was evident when they took second place in the BRC tournament. The girls varsity squad not only competed in their private league , but also competed against the public schools in regular season playings for the first time . Their determination was heightened by their strife to prove them se lves as worthy opponents. Even thou gh they fell short of havin g a notoriou s season, 15-16 , the girls proved to themselves th at winning was not in a score, but in the realiz ation of developing oneself.

For the first time in R.C.H. lacrosse history, the Celts defeated Lexington 8-7 in a fantastic display of offensive finesse. After downing A.M.A. 5-1 in a rain shortened match , the Celts started preparation for number one seed Saint Anne's Belfield. The Celts help th e lacrosse powerhouse to the lowest amount of goals they had scored in two yea rs only to fall to them in a 7-2 defeat. Next the Celts moved onto a disappointing lo ss to Le xing ton only to come back to beat Christ Church 5-1. To cap their 8-2 season, the Celts overcame a four goal deficit to beat arc hri va l North Cross 7-6 in triple overtime with Jeff Griener tossing in the w innin g goa l.

As spring came around, something new was beginning and eleven girls were chosen to be involved. Betty Murray developed and coached the softball team. She was very optimistic about the team from the start, despite its lack of experience. The girls started with a three game winning streak, but, with a change of luck, they posted a 5 and 7 record. They went into the Blue Ridge Conference fourth in their league. Coach Murray was unable to attend the games because of her marital plans. Mr. Extrom replaced her and guided the girls through the games. The Celtics won the first round against fifth seeded Stuart Hall, 6-2 . This helped build up the girls' confidence. In the second round they were pitted against first seeded Holy Cross. The girls had been beaten by the Holy Cross team twice during the regular season, and the girls were determined to prove to Ms. Murray that they could beat Holy Cross. The Celtics won by a score of 17-4 , in five innings. The championship game was against arch-rival North Cross . The girls were tired and their spirits dropped as North Cross pulled off first place in the B.R.C. The team had surprised many by capturing second place in the B.R.C.

In recent years Roanoke Catholic' s volleyball teams have had a reputation for being strong. This year was no exception. Although the team was young, it was full of talent and the girls set many goals to accomplish . Under the first year coach Mary Collins, the varsity volleyball team succeeded in winning the Blue Ridge Conference tournament for the third straight year. Even though the girls did not quite go undefeated in regular season, they took pride in an 11 - 1 season record and a 14 - 1 record overall. Their only loss of the year came early in the season when the girls were beaten by Holy Cross . After winning the rest of their matches after this loss, the Celts got a chance to revenge this disappointing loss on the Tuesday before the BRC. At Holy Cross , the Celts disposed of archrivals in a rousing three-game match to gain the first seed berth for the tournament. This victory was the high point of the season and now the girls were truly ready for Saturday, October 27 . Nothing could get to them now, and nothing did. Early in the morning, R.C.H .S. defeated Lynchburg Christian after having a first round bye . This victory advanced them to the finals where they met Holy Cross once aga in . Th e Celtics went on to beat them twice in the double elimination tournament to regain the BRC championship. Other hi ghlights of the season included victories over Metro school s Franklin County , Pulaski County , and Patrick Henry as well as two scrimmages with Fleming. Victories such as these gave th e girls a reputation in the Metro league of the Roanoke Va lley as well as in the own BRC.

These are the words of Mrs. Cathy Bear, the cheerleading sponsor, as she reflects back over her first year as sponsor at Roanoke Catholic. Both Mrs. Bear and her husband, Joe, drove both the J.V. and the Varsity Cheerleaders to their various games. The season started for cheerleaders directly after tryouts. Later, the Varsity Cheerleaders appeared on the Channel 15 Auction . Next, both squads went to work raising money for cheerleading camp at Roanoke College . This proved successful as the Varsity won third place in the Varsity Division and the J.V. won second place in their division. Both squads were a vital part of raising spirit during Homecoming Week. The Varsity worked together with the S.C.A . to hold Spirit Week, and all sixteen cheerleaders cheered at the bonfire , the Homecoming pep rally, and the Homecoming game. Throughout the football, volleyball, and basketb al I seasons, the cheerleaders sold stickers. The fans wore th ese stickers to show their spirit for the Celtics to both the home and away ga mes, and even the Richmond tournaments .

While the seniors looked forward to graduation and a new beginning at college, they will eventually miss the school and look forward to reunions. The eighth graders, on the other hand, looked forward to the opening of school because they had finally crossed the bridge into high school. Eighth graders weren't the only new people to be seen on Orientation Day as the school had many new students. Some of these new students found the closeness of the classes hard to break into. This closeness was also prevalent among the teachers, directed by Mr. O'Connor. When interviewed, most people had no comments on Mr . O ' Connor, although Robert Hardie responded by saying, "I think Mr. O'Connor has shown that he will be our principal at Roanoke Catholic High School and this is of great impor- Mr. Craddock brought six puppies to school on April 23, which he was going to take to the S.P.C.A. After being in sc hool for 15 minutes, all the puppies found a home. Mrs. Bear named her tan colored puppy Teddy. After the final class of th e V .H.S.L. Publications Workshop in Charlottesville, Carroll Schultz still has energy while Annette Cuzzocrea stares in disbelief. 60 People tance as we .can become a better school under the leadership of one man than if we were to be constantly changing principals." The student body changed during the year and seemed to get more obnoxious and wild as the year progressed . They learned many lessons and unfortunately got to know Mr. Craddock, the Dean of Discipline, very well. Many people thought the job given to Mr. Craddock was unfair because he was in the position of being both the educator and the disciplinarian and that he should have been compensated for financially. One student who had to be disciplined by Mr. Craddock spoke favorably of him by saying, "He's cool." As the school year closed with tears streaming down the graduates' faces, everyone looked not back on the past, but to the future ... the new beginning. �Th e seni o r c lass was a cl ose group and were best o f fri ends w ith each oth er, as is indi cated b y Jennifer Stump and Robert Poo le, as they po se for a pi cture during Ms. Wa rren's En gli sh c lass .

Cf) a: 0 z :J J 72 Ju niors The junior class had a busy year with a variety of activities ranging from ra ising money for the prom to taking their first Scholastic Aptitude Tests and the turmoil of writing term papers . Of the many new experiences the class encountered, the most important and tedious was the Scholastic Aptitude Tests. After many months of agony and preparation, the juniors reported to testing centers for three long and tiring hours of impossible math and unheard of vocabulary words. Under the guidance of advisors Mrs. M an ga n e l Ii and Ms. Callahan, the juniors worked on various fund raisers . A quality possessed in great abundance by the juniors was creativity. This creativity was ev ident when juniors won the Human Pyramid conte st and the Creativity Award for their performan ce of the traditional battle c ry. �Fran DeWitt Dan Dowdle Brian Downes Peter Guilfoyle Cathy Harvey Terry Johns Rodger Katz Mark Keeley Alex Nelson hits the pinata while Mike Rogan and Mike Norton wait in anticipation for the candy to fall , at the Spanish ll's Christmas party.

And wise fools they proved to be. Although several members of the sophomore class have reputations for being "hams" and "cut-ups, " the class as a whole exhibited the ability to work together. In October, the class pulled together and ended up with the highest magazine sales. In December, the class worked diligently and faithfully on their Christmas skit. Again, the "wise fools " united and won first place for their skit. Other highlights of the year were the surprise birthday party held for Beth. Doyle, the party given by Chris Watson at the Ramada Inn , and getting long waited for drivers' licenses.

Subfreshmen 87 �The Busy People The importance of good communication between administration and faculty was greatly stressed by Mr. O'Connor. To ensure good communication, at the beginning of the year faculty members met in the library each morning for a briefing on the day's events. During the course of the year, however, the number of meetings per week was reduced . At least once a month the faculty met on Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 to 3:30. With a new principal, many new changes were proposed . As a result, many important issues were discussed and debated . Departmental meetings were held once a month, also. This year's faculty could generally be described as one of experience; there were only two members new to the teaching field - Kent Extrom and Scott Duarte.

Fac ulty 89 �Communicating In and out The Guidance Department at R.C.H.S. is an important and necessary part of the school community. Whenever students have problems, they turn to the guidance department. Mrs. Friel is always available to help and tries to keep the students and faculty informed about guidance related activities that are going on in the sc hool. Each year, Mrs. Friel is faced with the task of scheduling classes for the next year. She also plans the Orientation Program for the new school year. During the course of the year, Mrs. Friel informs the juniors and the seniors about the S.A.T. and P.S.A.T . She organizes College Night and advises the se niors on colleges . She also is responsible for sending out transcripts and recom mendations to the va rious colleges that the seniors are applying to . When scholarships or financial aid are available, Mrs . Friel l ets the seniors know what they can qualify for. Anytime a new student arrives, Mrs. Fri el makes sure the student is shown around and she takes care of all the admission details. The most important project the Guidance D epa rtment has worked on was plans for the Advanced Placement classes to be offered during the 1980-81 sc hoo l year. M rs.

He has contributed much time and effort to the school. His contributions range from groundwork, electrical fix-its, to finding out the cause of the school's high electric bills . Martha Spickard and Gerry Drumheller are responsible for feedin g hunga ry students. Every day at lunch time, you will find Mrs .

John Henry Cardinal Newman My dear members of the Class of 1980, This Corrmencement of 1980 is a very special event in your young lives and also an important event in my not-so-young life. For you it is the beginning of lives full of promise, lives open to the worship of the Holy Spirit, lives seeking the growth, change and perfection which Cardinal Newman speaks about. For me, this class of 1980 will hold a special pl ace of affection in my heart for you are my first graduating class at Roanoke Catholic. I came among you as a stranger back in August of 1979 and you welcomed me and made me feel at home. In the short year that we have spent together, I have come to know you, to appreciate you and to love you. My only regret is that I did not get to know you better. I am certain that the sound education and moral fonna ti on which you have been exposed to here at Roanoke Catholic High School will serve you well in whatever lies ahead in your future. The faculty and School Board members join me in wishing the Cl ass of 1980 ;a life full of happiness, holiness and health. God bless you all and make you saints.

Many would be back the following fall, but others had left for good. It was not an ending though , but the beginning of many things. Summer began and many graduates were getting ready for the start of college in the fal I. Some students were starting summer jobs while some were making a start into a new town or city. For those who had moved , or gone to college it was a new challenge to get used to new cities and meet new friends . It also meant to leave Roanoke Catholic , the students , teach ers and the special closeness of each class. Like the phoenix , the past falls like ashes, but out shall rise a better person enriched by th e growth of Roanoke Catholic. For those who returned, it w as a new start too . Th e prior year's grades no longer mattered as th e year-inprogress' grades had a chance to i mp rove. The summer gave the students a chance to come back to school revitalized to start . .. a new beginning. M ike McDonald is the night shift disc jockey for K92 FM.
