op) = — = Z. Z. ALTAVISTA je (C35 BO) 5 (010) 5 ista Virginia Altav Growth And Change Typifies A.H.S. 1970 marks the beginning of a new decade, not only for the world, but also for us here at A.H.S. The changes, advances and problems of the 60’s give us some idea of the challenges that face us as students and future citizens. Problems of classroom shortages, overcrowded halls, and never-ending lunch lines confronted us as the baby boom came of age. More trailers, dual lunch shifts, and larger faculties have helped to compensate. But we're still behind. However, there have been many good by-products of this growth. Students and teachers have cooperated well to have successful learning experiences. The cur- riculum has been expanded to include a Humanities course. Student teachers have been used to provide better quality instruction. New teaching techniques have been experimented with-walks during English class, zip squads in Am. History, grouping in eighth- grade math, team-teaching in science. Clubs and or- ganizations worked hard as units to raise much-needed money. The Annual added a darkroom. The Vista caused a furor. The chorus and Folk Music Club com- bined. Forensics and Debate generated new interest and enthusiasm. Our athletic teams brought us honor and recognition. Thus as we enter the 70's the focal point will need to be on growth. Growth as individuals, as a school, and as a community. | i i iques Tried New Techn FACULTY PAGE 6 ORGANIZATIONS PAGE 66 $s UY ‘ows : Vey : CLASSES PAGE 22 SPORTS PAGE 90 ADS PAGE 132 FEATURES PAGE 116 INTELLECTUAL GROWTH Our success in today’s ever changing and more tech- nically-complex world demands INTELLECTUAL GROWTH. The constant continuation of our education is essential. The preparation and stimulus for this con- tinuing education, whether vocationally or academi- cally directed, originates in the classroom where the groundwork is laid and the challenge is presented. New Administrative Assistant Added Altavista High School is a part of the Campbell County School System. The enrollment for this school term is slightly over 700 students. Our graduating class of 120 is the largest in the history of Altavista High School. About half of the students attending are from homes within the town of Altavista and the remaining half come from the surrounding area of Campbell County. The main structure was erected in 1951. Because of our growing need we have had to add to the main building several times. The cafeteria was added in 1957 and a four classroom addition was made in 1961. Present plans call for the completion of four addi- tional classrooms by the opening of the 1970-71 school term. Besides the growth of the physical plant, our faculty and ad- ministration have expanded to include 33 full-time teachers, one part-time teacher, a full-time guidance director, and librarian plus an aide, and two full-time administrators. In the opening statement of the Philosphy of Altavista High School it is stated that “The faculty of Altavista High School recognize that one of the primary objectives in education today is the development of responsible citizens in a democratic society who are totally dedicated to the principles of democracy.” It is our sincere hope that we are helping each student find his rightful place in our society and that we are helping prepare him for a useful and rewarding life.

Whether its a scheduling problem, a personal dif- ficulty, a college or job application, or national testing, Miss B. is the person to see. Always patient, willing, and sincere, she is usually kept busy all day handling small and sometimes large problems. Her warmth and humor, and genuine concern for students, makes her the popular attraction she is. School Staffs Work For Greater Efficiency Mrs. Hunley and her assistant Mrs. White are responsible not only for the handling of secretarial duties for Mr. Drumheller, Mr. Jones, and Miss Bur- nette, but also issue sick leaves, admission forms, and sell tickets for school events. They are assisted in their work by a number of students from the business department. Mrs. Ramsey and Mrs. Short help students to locate books and do research work besides providing a pleasant atmosphere for study with Mrs. Ramsey’s many floral decorations. Mrs. Lucille Ramsey, Librarian, and Mrs. Peggy Short, assistant librarian, admire one of Mrs. Ramsey’s Christmas decorations. 10 Mrs. Kathleen Hunley Mrs. Gerry White Secretary Secretary Mrs. Short checks for an overdue book. History Department strives for Good Citizenship Mrs. Wallace Andrew Mr. Hugh Dodson Government, Business, Law and American History, 8 Management, Economics, American History The Social Studies curriculum encom- passes a wide range of offerings. The courses that are required for graduation are: Ameri- can History at the 11th grade level, American Government at the 12th grade level, and either World History or World Geography. The elective courses are 8th grade American History, Economics, and Sociology. All of these courses are designed toward enabling a high school graduate to take his place in society as an informed and partici- pating citizen.

We have been very lucky to secure three new teachers: Mrs. Stone, Mr. Jerry Boteler, in the English section, and Mrs. Babcock in the French section. The addition of many audio and visual aids, has proved to be very effective for more rewarding studies in the language fields here at A.H.S.

This year, however, was particularly special. For example, Mrs. Key who has been associated with the school for a number of years, was named “The Outstanding Chemistry Teacher of the Year” by the Virginia Blue Ridge Section of the American Chemical Society. The Science Club has been especially active. Besides C Ba the normal club program they have sponsored 1 Fr Ra Dr. T. E. Leinhardt as speaker for the science — classes as well as part of the monthly club pro- gram. In an effort to make maximum use of each of the varied teachers’ interests and skills, the science department is experimenting with team teaching for the first time. Miss Phillips explains the growth of a twig to her students.

Math Department Expands To Fill Student Needs ne| IMME il Hi i Mrs. Carper uses the overhead projector in her eighth grade math class. This year the Math department has expanded to include four full time teachers, thus allowing AHS to offer a much wider selection of courses. Now, for instance, eight grade students have four choices, and ninth grade students have three. Other courses include: Algebra I and II, Geometry and Advanced Math. Mr. Jim Hawley enjoys himself while testing his students. 15 into Business World Meets Needs The business department seeks to prepare students for employment in the business world or for entrance into business college. In so doing it offers courses in Typing, Shorthand, Bookkeeping and General Business. For seniors there is also Vocational Office Training which provides on the job training as well as income. Mr. Almond, Typing I Bookkeeping, General Business Mrs. Jones, Typing I Bookkeeping, Shorthand I Mrs. Short, Typing II 16 Shorthand II, V.O.T. Vocational And Practical Arts Strive To Prepare Youth For Future The Vocational and Practical Arts department selected the following objectives for the year: to meet the needs of our students by relating to the real world of business and industry and to better understand technology and its impact in the home Mrs. Paul Cock Mr. D Coff, . Homé ee Teta er and at work; to meet adult needs through night Guidance classes and to improve youth organizations’ work within the extracurricular program structure. Mr. Bob Landsberger explains proper business procedures to his D.E.

The Driver Education program has been in- creased to full time instruction in order to give a greater number of students the advantages and the safe driving practices this program provides. The new addition to the faculty in the Physical Education Department is Miss Brenda Taylor who not only teaches girl’s physical education, health, and driver’s education, but also coaches girl’s basketball and Varsity cheerleaders.

Also under new direc- tion, the Art Department has been experimenting with new media and techniques. Speech and Drama continue to grow under the leadership of Mr. Harrup. Miss Cole examines ceramic pieces before class. Mr. Hale shows drummers how to play cadences. 19 New Teachers Have Various Pastimes takeoff. Mr. Jones, new assistant principal, helps Mrs. Jones into the car. Reading provides escape and entertainment for Mr. Almoind. J. Boteler takes a trip in style. 20 Sometimes we tend to forget that teachers like stu- dents have interests outside the classroom, that they do more than grade papers, ask questions, and give tests. These “out-of-the-classroom” shots just go to re- inforce the little-known theory that teachers are indeed human. Miss Cole views artifact made from toothpicks. Mrs. Babcock enjoys life “down on the farm”. Mrs. Taylor, in a typical camera pose, takes time-out from the Senior- Faculty game. 21 PHYSICAL GROWTH People-people-people! A walk through the halls was a dangerous undertaking this year as student enroll- ment soared to an all-time high of 700-with eighth graders being the most populous class. Two additional trailers were added to provide much needed classroom space and the long-needed building addition was finally begun. 23 Class Of ’70 History The Class of ’70 made a name for itself when in the fall of 65 we headed for Chapel Hill. Everyone enjoyed the speaker, especially when he expressed his desire to stop being pelted by candy wrappers. Our freshman year was one of much hard work. We first realized that Mrs. Key was not the harsh teacher that people dreaded, but one who not only did her job well, but made it fun to learn. . As Sophomores we were lucky enough to visit our nation’s capital. Seeing the museums and other land- marks were only secondary to the train ride. The soldiers onboard treated the girls to their charm and the boys to their beer. Juniors . . . Beth Burgess was our president for the third year. We began to swing and change. The teachers worried about our failing intelligence and we worried about .. . Five of our classmates—Leonard Brown, Benny Crawford, Bobby Harris, Gary An- drews, and Bobby Shelton—were members of the State Runner-up bas- ketball team. We shared their excite- ment and honor. As Seniors we couldn't ask for better times. Our senior-led football team dominated the district opponents en- route to a 10-0-0 season. Our senior- faculty basketball game proved to be the predictable fiasco with the unpre- dictable ending as the faculty domi- nated the game play. But we won in our own way. Despite its lack of study- ing our class has completed a high school education topped by none. Now, we leave A.H.S. to face new challenges, and we leave the challenge of A.H.S. to all other classes to follow. We are the last of the old decade (Or are we the first of a new decade?). Nevertheless, in the decade of the sixties we came, we saw, and we con- quered. S.

In November, we traveled by bus to Williamsburg and Jamestown where we all enjoyed the sight-seeing but were glad to return to the bus to rest our aching feet. In the fall we sold light bulbs in an effort to raise money for the upcoming Junior-Senior Prom. After long anticipation we were finally able to order our class rings which made us realize that we were near our goal of being seniors.

Our Sophomore class has excelled in sports and have helped to cheer the Colonels on to victory, dominating the varsity cheering squads. The Class of ’72 took the annual Biology trip to Washington, D.C. on April 4, where we visited the Capitol, the National Aquarium and Smithsonian Institute, noting all the splendor of nature. Linda Crawford and Dana Lowman held the honors of Homecoming Attendants to the theme of Age of Aquarius.

Then, suddenly, we, the largest class, were small, insignificant eight-graders, looked down upon by all upperclassmen, blamed for all the bad things, given no credit for the good. It was truly a challenge, a whole new way of life; but we met that challenge and adapted to that change. It was a long year, with many failures, but with successes too. Now, we face the future years at AHS with anticipation. We've faced the first challenge of high school, and now, we, the Class of 74 are ready for the future. - [ ‘ | The Eighth Grade Officers—President; Debbie Bryant, Vice Julie Abbett President: Valerie Jones, Secretary: Mark Crouch, Treasurer: Carolyn Lee Ann Reynolds.

National Honor Society Sponsors Korean Orphan 74 More controversy originated over the Vista, the student-led publication, this year than any other area of student endeavor. With the semi-psychedelic draw- ings done by the art editor Jerry Southern, the predom- inate war and peace themes, that filled the second and third issue particularly, criticism and heated discussion began.

Moving in to help are Freddy Singleton and Benny Crawford. In Action Bobby Shelton returned this kick-off to set up a critical touch down sped: pe River.

The Colonel Courtmen, under the leadership of co-captains Benny Crawford and Leonard Brown, both three-year Varsity veterans, sometimes put it all together to look great as in the first game with Rustburg. And other games, as Staunton River, nothing went right for anyone. With over half a team ofjuniors and the sophomore spectacular Jerome Pannell, next year Altavista should be on top.

At Jamestown they viewed many of the original buildings that were built in 1607 and boarded a replica of Christopher Columbus’ ship that was anchored in the harbor. All the Juniors agreed that this trip was really the best yet.
