The 1962 Amethyst MURIEL WIKSWO JIMMY HICKS Business Manager “ Tat size ad would you like to place in the 1962 AMETHYST, sir?” This question was asked to the advertising manager of practically every business establishment from the southern end of Lynchburg to the nothem end of Amherst. A good number helped make this annual possible, thanks to the businesslike, cheerful way in which members of the AMETHYST st aff solicited ads. Publishing a yearbook is a year-round task. For this reason, the AMETHYST staff met on various occasions during the summer. The tremendous task of collecting ads at hand. Great competency is de- manded of each staff member in carrying our this task. Each member must do his part with strict ac- curacy, for his work concerns the well-being of the next assignment. The jobs to be done are like a flight of steps. One job is completed and another awaits its turn. The staff must choose a theme, select a color, and make the dedication. The layout is certainly a task second to none. In early September, the AMETHYST staff held very important meetings necessary for meeting dead- lines. The photography staff began tabling pictures of all the aspects of our school life. One week was dedicated to collecting subscriptions in the home- rooms from the subscribers of the 1962 AMETHYST. This book is packed with memories of the events and activities of a wonderful school. Only the co- operation of the students of Amherst County High School and the unselfish, dedicated spirit of a de- voted AMETHYST staff could have made such a publication possible. Our one desire is that as you relive the activities of the past year while unfurling the leaves of this book, the 1962 AMETHYST, you will experience some of the joys that we did in presenting it to you.

The Amherite The student newspaper of Amherst County High School, the “Amherite” brings “on the spot” news to the attention of the students, faculty, and the com- munity. Each month throughtout the school year the paper reflects student and faculty opinions by editorial, letters to the editor, surveys, and polls. The “Amherite” staff is composed of the students of the journalism class. It provides practical e.xper- ience in all phases of the journalistic profession and an atmosphere favorable to the dev’elopment of future careers in journalism. Now as this school year comes to a close, the Amherite staff hopes that the students hav’e been kept well informed and hav ' e come to know their school better through the articles vv ' hich have been presented to them in their newspaper.
