LAMBS’ TALE 1985
St. Agnes School 400 Fontaine St. Alexandria, Va. 22302
60th Anniversary
“Thanks again Mrs. Carr! Some call her the "second heart of St. Agnes." Others coll her on unforgettable friend, Everyone depends on her not only in emergencies but also for trivialities. Students troop to her for such "necessities" as scissors, tape, white-out, the use of a typewriter for last-minute or unfinished papers, change for the vending machine, paperclips, noil polish forthe stockings that will not stop running, and a dazzling smile for dork days. She listens to such excuses as "My carpool was late" and "My alarm refused to work," but winks away most of them with characteristic understanding. She controls the switch board, tracks down students, and answers endless ques tions. At the very center of the school, there whenever we need her, she is forever busy, sustaining the life of St. Agnes School, For her drive and energy, we admire her; for her aid and understanding we love her. For all she has done, we, the class of 1985, d e d ica te the 60th edition of Lambs’ Tale to an important facet of St. Agnes School — Caroline Carr.

STUDENT LIFE
Student life is what memories are made of, Even tliough tlie academic side of scliool can be memor able, an alumna of St. Agnes looking back on iner pre-college years is most likely to remember the day she sprayed Miss Jarvis v/ith v/hip cream at the Oktoberfest games rather than the night she studied six hours for an A.O.M. test. In essence, student life is the art of letting go, but letting go in a manner ac ceptable to faculty and the federal government, as vjeW as by the students. Student life is the sum of events organized and planned largely by the stu dents, the results of their creative endeavors and brainstorms. The student body takes pride in the traditions it helps to create; traditions that v/ill be the source of fond memories in all the years to come. Susan Hobson

ONE LUMP OR TWO? On Sunday, September 30, juniors and their mothers gathered together for the second annual Junior/Senior Tea, There they were served punch and assorted junk foods by the seniors. The tea was a nice idea and a good way for mothers to get better acquainted, but unfortunately, there was not very good a tte n da n ce. Many students felt the atmosphere was stilted, although com mon opinion ruled that the punch was out of this world. Perhaps a less tradition al format would have been better re ceived, but all in all, ever/one consid ered the get-together a nice gesture by the senior class, Jenny Drummy “Good punch and a nice gesture.” Catle Meyer “ It was lovely and a chance to talk with Juniors and their mothers.” Mrs. Schick “We talked about Homecoming Court.” Lisa Kent

From the Gumball Machine During w hat seem ed like a nor mal Monday morning assembly, the junior class surprised the unsuspecting sopho mores with their traditional rings. After end less hugging a nd congratulations, the sophomores had time to reflect on the true meaning of the long aw aited rings. The rings mark a step on the ladder all students clim b before they b eco m e seniors. But more importantly, this tradition reflects the warmth and fun-loving spirit shared b e tween the sophomores and juniors. The juniors also passed on "the Sopho m ore R in g ," to this ye ar's re c ip ie n t, M ariana Narcho. As A n d re a Gim ex plained in assembly, the ring is given to the student in 10th grade who "best displays compassion, sportsmanship, and em bo dies the St. Agnes ideals." The giving of sophomore rings m ade this an unusually happy Monday morning. Mariana Narcho "It was a turning point in my life. No pun intended." Lila Rifaot
18 / Sophomore Rings
Worth More Than Just a Ho-Ho The giving of Junior rings by the Seniors is a tradition at St, Agnes. This year, after a grueling Chrislmas rehears al, Ginger Burke announced, regretful ly, that the rings had not com e in yet, but said that the Seniors would give presents instead. To the Junior's surprise, rings be gan appearing in their strange gifts of ho-hos, walnuts, pudding, hershey kisses and other foods. They were ecstatic that this long-awaited day had arrived. By the end of the day, the Juniors felt very grown-up, but they had swollen fin gers from all that ring turning. Anne Storm “Mine cam e in a Ho-Ho!" — Monica Wolf “I really feel old now," — Elizabeth Henderson “My ring finger turned the size of an okra." — Adrianna Zimmer “This is a tradition which ties the dosses together. It's fun for the Seniors as well as the Juniors." — Jennifer Murphy

Much to our relief, Sunday, October 28, was a warm, sunny day, This was the day that St. Agnes and St. Stephens stu dents in grades 8-12 gathered at St. Agnes for the second annual Battle of the Sexes. The grueling competition consisted of volleyball, football, ultimate frisbee, soccer, relays, and an obstacle course. In all these events, the guys defeated the gals, So, the girls got their revenge by making the boys eat dirt in the tug-ofwar contest. The St, Agnes Athletic Association sponsored the games in order to bring the brother and sister schools together in an atmosphere unlike that of a dance. The Battle p ro v id e d g o o d -n a tu re d competition in a light-hearted atmos phere. As one competitor said, "it was the sexiest battle I've ever attended." M aggie Vaughan “The boys weren't even in our league." Caroline Hobson Devin Corini and Jenny Brent aren't playing soc cer, but boogying down the field. This two man team tries to stay together in one piece.

Perhaps the most pleasant time of year at St, Agnes is the Christmas sea son. This year, the decorating contest, won by the Freshman class, was an ex cellent example of, as Chrissy Erwin puts it, "the prominence of Christmas spirit in the school," Besides decorating, many classes had secret santas and parties. The juniors and sophomores both re ceived their rings, and the seniors don ned a ng e lic g arb and sang for the school in a special assembly. The high light of the season was definitely the carol service, in which the entire school met for a final mass of seasonal music in French, English, Spanish and Latin. The service "really put me in the Christmas spirit," said Lisa Rooks. The excellent performances of Sextette and the Facul ty Chorus a d d e d much to the beauty of the service. The many practices paid off, a nd as sophom ore A ntonia de M edinaceli said, "It gets nicer every year." Jenny Drummy

Ins
& Outs This year, instead of relying on the Washington Post's Ins & Outs list '85, St. Agnes has decided to com pile its own list. If you do not agree that 9-Lives is "IN" omoung cats and cats lovers, or that iguanas have replaced 3-toed sloths as the most photographed pet, then you obviously have not been out of your house for the last six months. Break out of your shell (or visit St. Agnes] and bag Sumo wrestling because in reality, the Midgets are reaching new heights in the wrestling arena. A loser, like Theisman, is no match for Heisman trophy winner, Doug Flutie. Next Saturday morning, watch the true "Master of the Universe", Voitron.

SENIORS Give her something that will last forever ... The friendships that will never fade, The wisdom to make the correct choices. The ability to handle re sponsibilities. The knowledge of when to have fun and when to work. The education that will last a lifetime. Each facet that makes up a gem of a school year is forever enduring in the minds of the seniors. We will always rem em ber the go od times we've had together in all our years at St. Agnes, especially this final senior year. It is hard for us to say our goodbyes, so, for now we say "so long," and we will hang to our memories. Forever. Ginger Burke A time it was and what a time it was. It was a time of innocence, A time of confidences. Long ago it must be I have a photograph Preserve your memories. They're all that's left you. Simon and Garfunkel

THE LONG ROAD Although we are leaving and going our separate ways, the Class of ’8 5 will take with them nnemories that will last forever. Some have spent thirteen years at St. Agnes, while others have on\y been here for one or two years. Nevertheless, each member has felt unity, loyalty, Friendship, support, and love — feelings that we will never forget. We have travelled a “long road” to become seniors and to reach graduation. Captured within the next few pages are some Df the memories and feelings from the Class of 8 5 ’s years at St. Agnes.

A VISIT I remember when I came to visit St. Agnes in tine fifth grade. During lunch, Sally, Beth, M eg and E.P. gave me a Shaun Cassidy concert. They stood on the wall outside Mrs. Eaton’s room and Beth jammed a tennis racl<et while M eg ripped off her belt and flung it to the audience. It almost hit me. We w ent to Mrs. Huebner’s history class. When she w ent to write on the board, all these little rubber balls went bouncing toward her back. She had a lit tle hole in her pants. She g o t mad and screamed, “W ho threw this?” No one answered. I wanted to laugh, but I was scared. Balls w eren’t the only things that 5th graders threw in Mrs. H uebner’s room. One day E.P. sneaked out the back door, made a snowball, and sneaked in. Then, she and Beth tossed the snowball back and forth (they sat 3 rows apart). My mom was supposed to pick me up at 2:30. At 2:10, I felt this tap on my shoulder. This girl, Julie, was trying to pass me a note. By 2:15, half the class had asked to go to the bathroom or get wa ter. When I left, they were all still out th e re . “ Shhh . , th e y to ld me. I laughed. “Mom, I think I like this place.” Claire Dees Seniors/101
They Cared The class o f '85 has always been there, during the tough times as well as the fun times. Beginning in the 7th grade until the end of my junior year, I had missed a considerable amount o f school due to illness. I have always appreciated the fact that although my class may not have al ways understood what was happening to me, they were always there for me. Many of my classmates sent me cards or just called to let me know they were thinking about me. I will never forget one particu lar way in which the entire class let me know that they were fighting w ith me. One night, in February, 1983, Julie and Jessica arrived for a “visit” — they said, just before they came, my m other asked me if I would eat in the kitchen. She told me that I would feel better if I g o t out of bed and m oved around awhile. So, I came down to dinner. Later, A GORILLA came into the kitchen carrying balloons! He sang and read me a card from the class. I almost cried because it meant so much to me that the class was thinking about me, even though I had been out of school for almost a month. I do n ’t think I will ever forget the way the class o f ’85 never forgot me! Am y O ’Connor

ORGANIZATIONS If we were to speak of what St. Agnes and her various organizations had to offer that would last for ever. We would first have to define the term for ever. Are we speaking in a philosophical sense, in which only the universals of this world last until eterni ty? I think not. On this diamond jubilee, we wish to exannine what we are gaining in the long run from our present efforts within the miscellaneous clubs and formally structured organizations. From the word organization, we must not infer that these "groups" are by any means orderly or orga nized. If you have ever been to a deadline, be it Shearings or Lamb’s Tale, you fully know the mean ing of chaos. And how many meetings have there been in which nothing whatsoever has been accom plished? Yet, just because something is not organized doesn't mean it cannot produce good cheer and fond memories. The SCA representatives are not going to last forever, nor will A.A.'s fitness, nor the French club's croissant sale. However, this 60th Lamb’s Tale publication should last for the forever that we will all know, Jennifer "World of Forms" Griffin

SPORTS
Although most of us will not go on to participate in the Olympics or Wimbledon, the memories of our ath letic adventures will stay with us. The care and con cern for every individual, which is the core of St. Agnes, continues from the classroom to the playing field. It is not who made the extra point or the winning goal that we will remember; rather. It is the memories of good and bad times shared with friends that will last forever. It is the combined efforts and the spirit of the games that is so important. Victories are the result of the whole team s’ effort and not any one person's. In victory or defeat, players sticl< together. These are the times that will remain with us always. Sarah Williams Beth Matthews

Whether by teaching us skills or by making us run laps for talking, her co a c h in g has helped us through the rough est games and undefeated seasons. So thanks Mrs. Fellows, for sticking with us "through all the muck" and for supporting us through good times and bad times. We could not do it without you. Thank You!

Dead Can Dance Annual Fall Senior Dance.
Senior class president Lydia Burgee and her boyfriend Kenny seem to enjoy hiding behind the scenes.
Taking a break from their duties at the refreshment stand, Angela Cheng and Cindy Gardner enjoy some oldfashioned ro o t beer.
“ The place reeked w ith tiedye,” Kimi O'Halloran-Cordray commented on the St. Agnes Senior Dance. Although this was the first dance that the class of 1990 had held without the Spring Fair tent in some years, they upheld the senior tradition of throwing the first dance for the year. This was also the first year St. Agnes became a "d ru g -fre e school zone" and seniors lost the privilege to smoke at dances. Kelly W hite and Aida Longo, aware that these girls w ould rather consume large quantities of sugar, brought in cupcakes and rice crispy treats. While Seniors allegedly pre ferred food over men, the usual van loads o f Episcopal boys rolled in at an early hour ac companied by some suspiciously short St. Stephen's "men." And
everyone was, well, dead. The seniors had designed tie-dyed shirts that were "Gratefully Dedi cated to the Class of ’90” and covered most o f the gyrating bodes in Daniel Gym. Meaghan Curry had decorated the gym with her natural flair for tie-dyed sheets and Sarah Landon had coerced the d.j. from WCXR into playing her favorites from the '60s. The rest of the evening pro gressed well, as Lydia Burgee and Mrs. Raney smiled at the money piles. As the dance began to wind down, Sarah Goldsmith agreed that it was a "dark and lovely night." Beth Franklin could only smile and say, “ It would have made jerry Garcia happy. Copy; Emily Hagan Layout A. Motley

Kate Perry seems tired when a friend shows her the Thanksgiving service program, but Sally Choate can only laugh thinking o f how soon their vaca tion w ill begin.
We are the World ... Almost everyone remembered their canned goods, and the ser vice ended with an impromptu rendition of “We Are the World,” the ultim ate help-the-hungry song. What better expression of goodwill and community spirit could there have been? The annual Thanksgiving ser vice occured right before noon, when we were dismissed for a b rie f Thanksgiving vacation. Students seemed to enjoy this prologue to their vacation almost as much as the anticipation of all the fun they would have over break. Perhaps it was the end-ofthe-eighties trend, or perhaps we’re simply a good-natured stu dent body, but everyone seemed generous, compassionate, and kind-hearted as Thanksgiving approached. Students seemed to keep the true meaning of the holiday in mind, instead o f just thinking about the turkey, the stuffing, and the cranberiy sauce. Allison Gregory proudly compares her one can o f baked beans to Eliza beth Fritz's three cans o f mere veg etables.
Although, knowing St Agnes stu dents very well, I’m sure that was on th e ir m inds to o ! (Turkey, turkey, turkey . . . ) All the school gathered in Daniel gym for this service. There were the tiny kindergarteners whose cans of tomato soup and green beans seemed heavier than the children themselves, the Middle Schoolers who were just able to sit through the whole ser vice w ithout fidgeting, and, fi nally, the Upper Schoolers, or the “big girls," as the first graders are w ont to say. Some of us forgot our canned goods for the home less shelter, but we made up for it with our spirited singing of “We are the World," led by the Se niors, at the end o f the service. Tears (corny as it may sound) came to more than one senti mental eye as the Thanksgiving service ended. But we could not remain sentimental for long once we remembered what was wait ing for us on Thursday: turkey, turkey, turkey ... Copy: L Brake Layout: K. Schupp

Don’t Just Stand There, Bust A Move After practice one Wednesday, two fellow hockey players could be seen dragging rakes to the opposite comer of the field. Here lay the huge acom piles that had caused the varsity right wing to wipe out in yesterday’s game. “So what?” you say, "those ac orns needed to be taken care of anyway.” However, this scene says a lot about the 1989 field hockey squad. Committed to upholding th e w in n in g tra d itio n , th e y worked with dedication on any project that would help them to remain a keen team — even if this meant raking acorns! A fter spending a w eek to gether at Camp International (a.k.a. camp cornfield), the Saints were ready to go from the start of the season. Miss Way confessed she was nervous at first, but the varsity and JV soon calmed her with big victories over Foxcroft.

among the team’s favorites, they dribbled till they dropped and w ith the extra help o f goalie coach, Susan, they surely couldn’t be stopped. One o f the best things about this year’s team, one halfback said, was the tremendous unity. ‘There were no sole superstars. Everyone had a chance to shine, making each victory more mean ingful for the team.” This same enthusiasm the players exhibited elsewhere. Whether it was rap ping to “ Bust A Move” on the cool St. Agnes van, preparing for Sidwell at a poster making party, or simply having lunchtime team pow -w ow s — the Saints per formed with maximum energy. Sure the Saints had their mom ents ... they almost didn’t bust a move when the smarties went to a party.

From Weak Lambs to Strong Rams While this year’s Cross Country team may have enjoyed running in all that spandex and polyester, they were also the hardest work ing Cross Country team St. Agnes has had in a while. They were also in great shape. Kelly White even said, “They’re in such good shape they have inspired me to run.” Lee Carosi responded by saying, “Yeah, but I still won’t run.” The team ’s successful year couldn’t have happened without their dominant leader, Mr. Snape, who molded a group of young lambs into a pack of fearless rams. Not onjy were they faster, stronger, and more competitive, but they were also the skinniest team in the I.S.L. The Freshmen and Sophomores who composed the majority of the team were Nayamka Thomas, Tammy Shanta, Delia Jackson, Craig M o o re , Rachel Brash, Garnet Soles, Lena Tregubov, An drea Cleverly, Robin Rourke, and Janicke Langsteth. The two se
niors who provided leadership to the team were Katie Quirk and Lisa Watson. This team may have been young and inexperienced, b u t M r. Snape m ade Cross C ountry fun for everyone by never repeating any workouts. Of course the team was not without its ups and downs, like setting off alarms, crashing through bushes, trying to sprint up Lloyd’s Lane, surviving Mr. Snape’s van driving, and tackling D.C. traffic. Despite these minor set-backs, the team always g o t to their matches and eventually ended the season 5-0. Some o f the lambs were even able to com pete in 1OK races on the week ends. The season ended with the completion o f the team’s two goals; to become a strong and determined team, and to lose some serious inches, and they had Mr. Snape to thank for it all.

Pumping Muscle and Clocking Milage What has forty legs, beanie hats, spandex, and are seen eveiy day during winter season running down Alexandria city streets, even in negative wind chills? Why, the St. Agnes Fitness and C onditioning Club. This hardy group of young women who usu ally play fall and spring sports, run and lift weights, braving the fierce cold of winter months, in order to get in shape for spring sports. This after school activity, in its second year, is a healthy alterna tive for those who chose not to participate in the winter sports: basketball and soccer. Even though Mrs. Rice is the sponsor and coach, the club is run by Ju niors who supervise the two to four mile runs and weight lifting. The members also participate in g ru e lin g s p rin ts and lo n g distance runs, as well as true “ cross-country” courses around the hills and valleys o f the St.

Instead of enjoying the winter hours by drinking hot chocolate and vegging in front of the after noon soaps, the fitness fanatics were battling hills and getting in shape.

DJ Slammin’ Babes Bus rides head banging to AC/ DC, lay-up drills to "Bust a Move” and Champions! W hat other phrases could describe such a vivacious and skillful basketball team? Inspired by the stupend ous coaching crew o f Kathy ‘Wait, there is an eighteen wheel er in front of us” Jenkins, Jerry “ Red Neck” Howell, and Howie “ House o ’ fire” Biermann. The Team paraded and jammed to a victorious season and a gorge ous league banner for the second consecutive year, despite injury, tim es o f insanity and lettuce fights. The C aptains and seniors, Jennifer “ please don’t stuff me” Steinberg, Alexa “ Sexy Lexy” Motley, and Olivia “ Liwey” Titus began each game with the ritual of flirting with the referees who oddly enough resembled such famous figures as Mike Tyson, Michael Dukakis, and the ‘White Night's” team of Gregory Hines and Mikhail Barishnikof. Leigh "D eodorant” Miller, and Anna “ BB” Yates joined the captains
and successfully prepared the road to victory with double pump jum pe rs and three p ointers galore. Kate “Skatah” Compton, Becky “ Frog Legs” Wismar, and Tia “TT" Brunelli were the other most excellent juniors who en sured the win in every game. Rachel "Birkenstock” Brash and Aranzazu "Godzoola” Ascunce sufficently replaced an injured Anna Yates and pushed the team onward to victory. The ju n io r V arsity led by Ndumba “ Bubba" Lutanga, Tara “ did you shower?” Zimnick, and Julie “Stretch” Glynn captured an undefeated record and met little difficulty in mutilating opponents until the semifinal round of the tournament with a loss to Visita tion. Many referees commented on the incredible skill and play of this unified team. Gatorade, rap music, and poly ester shorts infested with holes inspired the Team and allowed us to “find the Power!” Copy: A. Yates and O. Titus Layout

Despite the assum ption that as several years before this y e a r’s te a m w o u ld achieve just as m uch success, a hearty bunch o f seniors, fe rocious juniors, and one brave so ph o m ore packed their bags and em barked on an England Va cation. (Does this rem ind you o f N ational Lam poon’s?) Practice began fo r the entire varsity and JV team tw o weeks before the anticipated depar ture o f the Spring Break trip to H er Highness’s Grand Coun try.
