These standards soon intermingled with our own ideals helping us to learn the fundamentals of life.

Here in “grassroots” country, when we take on a job there is a lot of responsibility involved. We may have different types of jobs that include a variety of duties, but each specific task helps prepare us for our future. Through jobs we not only gain a few more dollars but by learning to work with others and acquiring job skills, we gain experience which un- doubtedly will prove helpful in our future. Whether it be in the field of business, mechanics or agriculture, eamings are abundant; however, in the long run experience proves to be more important.

After sundown (especially on weekends) thoughts of school are far away — and spinning the Queen or just riding through town offers the opportunity to see what's going down. Our roots stem back to when we were young kids and our parents took us to Holliday Lake where we learned to swim. We still go to Holliday Lake but now for dif- ferent reasons ... to show off our swim- suits, get a tan, or in hopes of seeing someone “special”. As time passes, there are going to be more places that we will go that will take us out of range of our roots. But no matter how far we go, we will always remember where our roots began ... here in Ap- pomiattox. Upper — An enjoyable evening out at Pizza Hut for Mike and Susan. Middle — Donny Osmond, oh wow!

Emotions were further intensified when students were evacuated and left to stand on the practice field while police searched the building for possible traces of a bomb. After the threat was proven false, classes reassembled although accom- plishing any work seemed next to impossible. Homecoming festivities got into full swing with the start of the pep rally which provided a needed release of energy after an ex- plosive day. Then, under blue skies, Raider spirit reatetcel acre debcoletejal the town in the form of a parade. By 8:00 the Raiders were in gear, and ready to ring Liberty's bell in front of the crowd at Bragg Stadium. And this they did as they trounced over the Minutemen 33-6, interrupted only by the halftime show when Karen Gillaspie was crowned Homecoming Queen. Good times rolled on as students and alumnae danced to the tune of The Royal Kings. Just another Homecoming? No way. It was Homecoming '77, even more special when Seniors realized that they'd played their last high school game at Bragg Stadium and that next year they'd be alumnae, coming home to A.C.H.S.

VULUAUERERUUN DAR p pert ees The role of a high school administrator must be one of the most trying, demanding, yet rewarding professions a person could get involved in. Qualities characteristic of such a leader should include understanding, patience, loyalty to the cause of education, and, maybe most importantly, a sense of humor. The individual who could fill those boots would obviously be of unique character. It takes more than a college cer- tificate or a master’s degree in school law — it takes years of dedication and determination. On top of this, the ad- ministrator needs to earn the acceptance and respect of the student body. Our school is able to boast of such a man who is not sim- ply an employee but one of the roots of what makes us what we are. With his feet firmly established in Raider Country af- ter 19 years, we feel that Mr. John McLean deserves more than the title of assistant principal — he’s our, “Where-would- we-be-withaqut-him man.” For this r students (tk you've freely ait g feeling of self-worth, we proudly and respectfully present this book to you and say, “Thanks, Mr. Mac.” 15 i i i RI er dG 3 DENTS TE ETE SP-IR-IT; Got spirit, un-huh, Lets here it; Alright! When we came to the high school, we were confronted with a great burst of spirit. As we grew, our spirit grew. When we clap, yell, and stomp our feet, it's for a reason. That reason be- ing, when our attention is focused on our teams, we epitomize the spirit or the word victory. Some of us have more spirit than others, but com- bined, we boost the morale of our Raiders and Raiderettes to victory. . Some have got it and some don't. The rifle core performing during half-time “Hey Johna, the net is the other way.” Sideline suspense. Rodney Lawson says, “look, I’m Tarzan.” 16 THE ALARM CLOCK breaks on his un- awareness. And miraculously the regret leaves his tired face, when his subconscious reminds him, “Hey, we’re going hunting.” His body, almost miraculously follows as if in answering. Dressing to suit the frostbit- ten air and ground, he wonders a moment, why? But as soon as he is into nature and watching the morning break the blue-gray sky and brush the horizon with her warm parting glow he then instinctively realizes why. He is now part of nature. Patiently, he waits for that. rustling sound, the warm smell or that quick glance that will give him a chance at his prize of pride. Knowing that the prize will be ap- preciated at home and that it is a necessary link in nature, he feels proud and satisfield. If he is lucky, tonight he will entertain the others with the story of his conquest. Fae ae ee % -», Mike Wooten gets,a ‘close shot, at a deer. good shot.

Aww ... that same refrain again? ce FLEETWOOD MAC Whether your preference be bluegrass, classical, country, disco, folk, jazz, opera, R B, rock, soul, or Gregorian chants, you are probably one of the millions who spend a great deal of their waking hours listening to or otherwise enjoying music. “Gettin’ down” on the dance floor has become one of America’s most popular pastimes; especially with the recent surge of disco and a return to “structured” dances. The multimillion dollar music industry is evidence of our gusto for song. Some are fortunate enough not only to be able to enjoy music by listening, but can create it as well. This ability has served as an outlet for emotion and creative expression for centuries. The instruments used to make these ideas audible are as varied as the thoughts themselves: from the human voice to the five-string banjo which had its origin here in Appomattox County. Music is truly an art form “of the people, by the people, and for the people”. It’s readily available, doesn’t have to cost much, and comes in enough varieties to please everyone. So go to a dance. Put on some headphones. Sit down at that old, neglected piano and see what you can do. Just “make your own kind of music”.

Each class had a representative with Nancy Stratton, Kathy Johnson, Tina Doss and Jayne Doss in the running, with Robin Moore, Donald Parris, Terry Almond and Skebo Ferguson, respectively, as escorts. Nancy Stratton was crowned 1977 FFA Sweetheart by last year’s Sweetheart Ruth Stratton, while Hat Creek took a break. ALIS MaBLE SEASON” Christmas 77—parties, presents, caroling ect., all helped to make it that very special part of the year, in which a child- like magic seemed to overtake the old as well as the young. School was no exception; days were filled with special programs and sneaked in parties, plain brown doors turned into enlarged Christmas cards, and of course everyone was waiting for “Santa” to make his yearly appearance. Christmas, being a special time of the year, made studying harder and harder as that much anticipated “last day” got closer. Who could study with “visions of sugar plums danc- ing in our heads” anyway? Christmas day finally came and, in a state of regression, we found ourselves hurrying to see what “Santa” had left for his good little ACHS boys and girls. As the day came to a close we knew that soon our beautiful Christmas tree would be firewood, and our new presents would soon be old, we kept our cheer by realizing that Christmas like “Frosty” is magic and will return again next year. % w cs E a o - Y a = is) n ces ra re) 2 0 S E oh oe i TONGSUN PARK GROUCHO MARX Annie THE DEEP ROOTS J “ Ses TON King Ait ELVIS PETE’S DRAGON ORANGE : CRUSH]. 3] BERT LANCE DEBBIE BOONE] | S043 DANY 5 Oe UN COZY ID) 4 | SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT BING CROSBY short people REGGIE JACKSON DALLAS y X YANKEES 574K (ARS |S BOLO) a Oe 1B s(n OS KO)s(O 0) 5 (Cla uns) mee PANAMA CANALENOUGH] 3° HUBERT HUMPHREY .

The love and cheer that followed them everywhere they went has warmed the hearts of everyone who knew them. Sherry McGuire was a person who always listened to other people’s problems, even when she had her own. She never thought twice about doing everything she could for anybody. She had some bad times, but more good ones because she loved and shared of herself with all those who were close to her. Some of us may feel that we never really gave her anything, but I know that the greatest gift we ever gave her or she ever gave us was simply the love of a friend. A Best Friend Dawn Rosser was a friend who was so full of life and happiness it just naturally spread to all those around her. She was someone we could really count on because we knew she really cared. Because of what she shared with us, she has left us with many happy, special memories. And we will never forget her friendly, smiling face.

Eddie ined miptee, ath i 4 a. 1; Jonathan Janet Marzetta Ronnie Richard Ronnie Brenda A On September 1, 1966, the Class of ’78 was made up of a bunch of 6-year-olds more concerned with hopscotch, jump ropes, monkey bars, and teeter- totters than with the new experience called school. We’ve come a long way since then after spending about 12,960 hours toward the cause of education. Now that we are young adults, we realize how much those twelve years mean to us and that A.C.H.LS. will always be our cherished alma mater.

MAKING IT WORK Nurse, May Shorter does a lot of paperwork. A Longwood graduate Linda Archer is a newcomer to the guidance field as well as being a newcomer here. Mrs. Archer counsels ninth graders. Doing a great job as our new SCA sponsor is Joyce Jamerson. She loves her new job beause she comes in contact with more students. Harriet James is known as a friend to all, especially within the senior class. Mrs. James is responsible for the Career Council as one of the sponsors. , be does a guidance secretary do? In Elaine Stubblefields case, it’s everything from typing transcripts to being a nurse’s “un- erstudy’. Hattie Hayes is enjoying her eighth year of being librarian. She likes to travel, read, and talk to others. a ig Wallis, better known as Major Wallis, is as busy outside of school playing “Old McDonald” on his 350-acre farm as in school. a a third year teacher of EMR’s, Bettye Williams is very fond of her students. Her spare time is spent trying new recipes and reading. ‘ Located in a sunny place in the school, Mrs. Ford, the TMR teacher, finds her job both challenging and rewarding. “What’s ina name,” former Miss Heising, kind of likes her new one — congratulations Mrs. Ford. Ann Robinson, who has a children of her own, fits the part of aide for the special education students. Mrs. Robinson is definitely Mrs. Ford’s “right-hand person.” Besides teaching art and sponsoring the art club, Wendy Richardson stays busy with night art classes and as a member of the Eastern Star organization. Dividing his time between the Middle School and this school, Frank Coffey teaches the band class. Mr. Coffey stays busy out of school with his own group “The Frank Coffey Quartet.” Teresa Quesenberry, is our talented chorus teacher. Although music strikes a big note in her life — she pursues other interests such as photography, needlework, and four-wheeling. ee, ie .

A senior class sponsor and English teacher is Harriette Beasley who has put in nine years in the county school system. Mrs. Beasley keeps her classes busy by saying, “Okay, let’s not talk and let’s get to work.” Sponsor of The Traveler yearbook staff, where she occasionally plays sergeant-in-arms, Brenda ‘Waldron also has the job of introducing the works of such men as Sophocles and Franz Kafka to her 12th grade students. A creative person, Miss Waldron is an accomplished artist and enjoys photography, play direction, and trips to Elon College workshops with her crew. As an English 11 teacher, Edwina Covington’s devotion to American literature doesn’t end at 3:05. Like the early pioneers in the works of James Fennimore Cooper, Mrs. Covington brings home the venison for the table, her first deer being killed in the 77 season. After student-teaching here last year, Ruth Cowan returned with a degree from Longwood to teach English 10 and 11. Mrs. Cowan enjoys playing golf and bridge, and also reading, especially the works of Benjamin Franklin. As a ninth and tenth grade English teacher, Linda Taylor spends most of her time teaching her students grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. But Mrs. Taylor’s spare time is spent on the tennis court where she works at becoming another Chris Everet. Being a sponsor of the Raider Reporter isn’t the only duty Estaline McCraw performs. She also carries out the duties of a ninth grade English teacher. . . teaching students how to use good grammar and a wider range of adjectives and adverbs. At home Mrs. McCraw enjoys cooking and working in her garden. Joyce Sweet, who probably could have been Hollywood's next Liza Minelli chose instead to teach English 10 and journalism. She is also a sponsor of the broadcasting and newspaper staffs, and the drama club which loves to entertain its audiences “downstage”. Roman and Greek mythology, derivatives, basic sentences, and Latin paradigms are all part of Claudine O’Brien’s busy day as the Latin teacher. Miss O’Brien, whose middle name should be “travel”, has been to Rome about five times and also visited Greece early in the school year for the third time . Even though Marcella McKay is often mistaken for a student, she is definitely a member of the faculty as she teaches all the Spanish classes. Mrs. McKay is also sponsor of the Spanish club. Mr. Hudson checks to see if one of his students is doing what he’s suppose. to. 2 .. HERE TO EDUCATE US Sasi Anyone who admits, “I like to hear the sound of a sewing machine,” is either miss- ing a few stitches or really into homemaking. Gail McGraw, to the advantage of her Home Ec. Ill and Occ. Cloth. students, is of the latter character. “A homemaker should be an engineer for the whole family,” says Betty Jo Smith, a Home Ec. teacher and FHA sponsor. She enjoys the students and the informal at- mosphere of her classes. And in keeping with her basic idea that everyone should have at least one semester of Home Ec., Mrs. Smith finds her new co-ed class, Ind. Fam. Lg., quite a challenge. Velma Elliott, the lady behind the apron, is the occupational foods instructor, and teaches Home Ec. III, too. Not only does she like preparing new dishes, but she enjoys traveling as well. In addition to her role as biology teacher and Tri-Hi-Y sponsor, Nancy Jones is “Grandma” to two whom she adores and probably spoils, as most grandmothers do. Her autumn visit to Hawaii was another fascinating experience. A member of our school system for five years, Emilia Racer teaches consumer math, Algebra II, and advanced algebra and trig. Mrs. Racer is also a sponsor of the junior class, which weaves lots of work when it comes time for the prom. Formerly of Galax, Vickie Burnette came to ACHS after graduating from Radford to teach biology, advanced algebra and trig. and Math 9. Sponsor of the freshman class, Miss Burnette enjoys tennis, bowling, reading, and movies. John Hudson may have one of the most important jobs in school—keeping the chemistry classes from blowing up the lab. Mr. Hudson teaches all the chemistry classes and one geometry class, not to mention his duties such as selling game tickets and driving a bus. As an algebra and physics teacher and co-sponsor of the Nat’l Honor Society, Mary Turner comes in contact with students ranging from freshman to seniors. After Thanksgiving, however, Chesterfield’s gained what ACHS’s loss when Mrs. Turner had to relocate. Teaching gen. math 9, algebra IA and IB aren’t the only jobs Betty Hancock has. She also sponsors the freshman class. At home Mrs. Hancock enjoys spending time with her two daughters. Lillian Harbridge is the general math and geometry teacher. When she can find spare time, she enjoys sports, crafts, music, and movies. Coming from Pennsylvania, Miss Hartbridge likes her students accents and thinks that they are well-behaved. “And this is the method for determining how muc eis plied,” says Mrs. Turner. 2 y Mrs. Frey puts on her ballet attire for a few dancing steps. Mary Jane Alvis is a real boost to the business dept. Besides teaching typing and related occupations, she finds the time to co-sponsor the parliamentary law team of the FBLA and to sponsor the majorettes, and was the organizer of the dance-a-thon and rock-a-thon. Mrs. Alvis now has a new house to go along with her new baby. Training students for work in office occupations is one of Sandra Frey’s largest tasks. As a COE ccordinator, she works closely with the community in acquiring paid on-the-job training for seniors enrolled in business education. Joan Holt, another of the typing and steno teachers, efficiently heads the business department and co-sponsors the FBLA. Mrs. Holt belongs to groups outside of school, too, such as the Young Homemakers, and the United Methodist Women, and now has joined the rank of women addressed as “Mommy”. Graduating from Longwood in 1977, Deborah Robertson is in her first year of teaching. One of the typing and steno instructors, as well as co-sponsor of the parliamen- tary law team of the FBLA, Miss Robertson says of teaching, “It’s okay, but it gets rough at times.” Perhaps one has to develop a tolerance for the constant noise of the typewriter. Lucy Harris stays busy not only as coach of volleyball, girls’ J.V. basketball, girls’ tennis, and co-sponsor of the varsity club, but also helping her husband on their farm in Evergreen. She has even been seen peeping over the steering wheel of a lumber truck on her way to school. The P.E. 9 teacher, John (Plicky) Williams, also has three busy coaching seasons with football, J.V. basketball, and boy’s tennis. Among other interests are golf and a “sleek” green Thunderbird. During Mary Libby Tolley’s sixth year of teaching P.E. here, she is in charge of girl's varsity basketball and softball. She attended Longwood College and the University of Tennessee for graduate work. Miss “T” enjoys golf and is the proud owner of the only faculty Renegade. Whether through athletics, geography class, or just walking through the halls, at one time or another, you’re bound to come in contact with Coach Jerry Robinson and his unmistakable grin. He also finds times as golf coach, to mold young Arnold Palmers. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, Larry Robinson came to us this year following graduation from Youngstown State Univ. and Marietta College. Mr. Robinson has the full schedule of teaching history, general business, and economics, and is the co-sponsor of the Nat'l Honor Society. Stuart Justus, head football coach, also heads the weight-lifting program, and teaches history, general business, and sociology. Formerly of Narrows, Va. Coach Justus is the proud father of a future Raider, Scott, who is three years old. Ray Archer, better known as “Lord Archer”, has recently come from William Campbell High School. He teaches history, and is an assistant varsity football coach as well as boy's varsity basketball coach and works with track. Should we ask Coach Archer what he does in his spare time? What do cross-country, girls’ track, government, world geography, and pep rallies have in common? They're all associated in one way or another with Sam Martin who is a very prominent man in our school. Mr. Martin can best be described as aman with a dynamic personality. serve. se VU " hat 85 Mrs. Harris waits as the other team prepares for her “dynamic” | For a teacher to like sports cars and drag-racing is very unusual, especially when that teacher teaches agricultural science mechanics II. James L. Burcher is your man and the only ex- planation for his hobby is “different strokes for different folks.” Bobby Waddell, co-sponsor of the FFA, is the ag. production IV and V instructor which often involves getting into coveralls and slopping around with the FFA pigs. A man of the field, stream, and fairway, Mr. Waddell enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing. One of the many ag. teachers here is William Perrow who most enjoys teaching seniors. Mr. Perrow has been teaching ag. for 7 years. His outside activities include woodworking, in which he makes a lot of furniture. Albert Carter, whose name seems to automatically bring to mind agriculture, teaches just that along with ornamental hor- ticulture. Having been associated with ag. since high school, one could say that it is definitely his “thing”. In talking to Calhoun Moore, the new mechanics teacher, one soon finds that although teaching has not been his life-long profes- sion, he possesses a true interest in his students and considers it a challenge. Although his new job requires much of his time, fishing “is still the one” on the top of the list of hobbies. Pete Almond instructs his students in the masonry course. Very dedicated to his work, he enjoys bricklaying, especially because it involves being out in the fresh air. Whenver he has the chance, Mr. Almond likes to take his family camping and fishing. An instructor in the challenging area of distributive education, Lorraine Burgess works with the student whose interests lie in employment after high school. This is Mrs. Burgess’ first year here at ACHS. A graduate of E. Ca. University, William Rouse is the newest addition to the electronics dept. Mr. Rouse feels that the best part of teaching electronics, is seeing the expressions on the faces of his students when they discover they're learning a combination of physics, chemistry, and math. “Who’s the new teacher with the shining white teeth under that dark mustache?” Well if you haven’t heard by now, he’s Harold Brizendine. Mr. Brizendine teaches drafting I and II and sponsors the VICA club. And he doesn’t make a bad sub sandwich either! Mr. Hudson joins in on a discussion in Chemistry class. A daily inspection of brick-laying is made by Pete Almond. eS Saas ee EE erg per es 2S ER eo oe 7 pcersar Everyone here performs an important duty and the cooking staff and custodians may very well be said to have the most important duties.

Tri-Captains: Robert Dyess, Jay Franklin, Joe Fraley. After a hard-nose campaign of learning and suffering, Coach Justus’ players realized improvements and ex- perience, and grew weary of surrendering. This they proved in the upset of the night against Jefferson Forest, a team with three shutouts to its credit, when the : Cavaliers were handed a 22-14 defeat. Positive attitudes drove the Raiders on to a whopping 33-6 victory over Liberty, adding to the spirit of Homecoming which was also the last home game. Ap- pomattox dominated the game with John Rothgeb’s | total of 227 yards rushing and a tight defense led by ; Robert Dyess and R. L. Harris. An open date coupled with postponment due to rain in the next week threw the Raiders into a slump before their final game of the season. The loss to Amherst marred the record slightly as the team came out 4-5, 4-6 overall, but opponents had discovered that the Raiders are for real! 90 The team was honored by the Lions Club with a banquet at John Mosby Inn. Chuck Boone athletic director at UR was the guest speaker.

Not only are other runners to be dealt with, but the elements also play a major part in the outcome of meets. Running in rain, mud, and seemingly arctic temperatures with no more than thin nylon for protection re- quires special dedication and endurance. Several changes were made which added spark to each event. A new home course was established—3.7 miles, up hill and down, through a creek, and up another hill affectionately referred to by the team as “the mountain”. Another first was the addition of female run- ners to the team, to which no negative response was audible—except from the girls on occasion! A solid foundation has been set and will continue to be built upon in cross-country’s future.

Forest Amherst Liberty Coach Lucy Harris breathed a little easier at the start of the ’77 volleyball season, having four of last year’s start- ers returning to the squad. While the Raiderettes weren't extremely tall, they overcame this by quickness, good ser- ving, spiking, and setting, and—most of all—teamwork and a “never die” attitude. The Raiderettes lost the last game of the season to Liberty, giving them an 8-1 record. The team was up and ready for the tournament, but all hopes were shattered when they were defeated by Altavista in the first game of the tournament. Along with excellent teamwork, there was a lot of in- dividual talent on the Raiderette team: four Raiderettes made the All-District team. Marie Fraley, first team; Connie Murray, second team; and Roxie Martin and Vanessa Smith were named to honorable mention. Individual team awards were received by Connie Murray (Most Valuable Player) and Vanessa Smith (Most Improved Player). Congratulations to all the Raiderettes.

Once again the Raiderettes lacked height, but they did have a little more ) experience than before. The first half of the season proved to be tough for the ) Raiderettes but they started to settle down to business in the second. Five seniors made up the starting line for the Raiderettes, with Marlene Moore as center, Roxie Martin and Marie Fraley as forwards, and Connie Murray and Koni Franklin as guards. Coach Mary Tolley had a strong bench to fall back on when tough situa- tions came up. There she could find good shooters and defensive players, hustlers and more height, or a combination of these necessary traits. The Raiderettes were agressive and really moved whether the scoreboard showed the team losing ground or with the game all wrapped up. Marie sends the “Spalding” up between two Gretna defenders.

Although con- sidered inexperienced with no surviving players from last year’s starting lineup, they proved their worth. Coach Archer’s young team had only one senior, with the rest of the team being made up of juniors, sophomores, and two freshmen. Larry Kelso, a sophomore starter, early established himself as high- scorer for the Raiders and will be a definite savaneiodter two more years. Coach Archer anticipates, with a little work on offense, success in 79 after a profitable ’78 season with good leaders such as the co-captains, Joe Fraley and Gerald Booker. aN eye = Pressured by the Cavalier defense, Joe attempts to throw the ball in.

THE STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION of ACHS is under new sponsorship this year after the resignation of Mrs. Michael Penn. A guidance counselor, Mrs. Joyce Jamerson, along with Miss Lil Harbridge have taken on the co-sponsorship of one of the most vital organizations in the school—the SCA. The SCA council is made up of elected officers and club representatives and they meet at least once a month to plan SCA activities. These activities include everything from student orientation on the first day of school to planning and publishing student handbooks to the “Fantastic” Homecoming dance. This year the SCA brought “The Royal Kings” to the ACHS cafeteria for one of the best dances of the year. The SCA is designed to strengthen basic human relations—with peers, adults, and each other, to practice involvement in what goes on at ACHS, and to work in school and community projects. The SCA is the one organization through which the entire school can channel their ideas and suggestions on what they'd like ACHS to be. In 1977-78, the SCA sponsored students to the Presidential Classroom, sponsored a Christmas Dance and assemblies, plus other various activities but most of all, they strengthen the bond between the students and faculty, be- tween ACHS and the community, and between ACHS and you. 104 the St dent Cooper i, Associa on n OME An S.C.A.

Here at ACHS our VICA organization is rather large. There are many activities involved in VICA such as: meeting for election of District Officers which was held Oct. 19, 1977, fund raising activities, basketball tournaments, and our District III contest for those who would like to go. Anyone who goes to the District III contest and takes first place will get to go to the State contest in April. In the District III contest each section, Drafting, Electronics, Bricklaying, and Power Mechanics will compete against other schools to find out what skills a per- son may know. Each section has a time limit in which to complete the contest. They have other activities also such as: small engine contests, bricklaying displays, talent shows, etc. Those who went to the contest really know how much fun it really Our officers for VICA are as follows: President, Duane Hogan; Vice Pres., Brenda Bowling; Treasurer, Kelvin Jones; Sec., Rodney Lawson; Reporter, Richard Hamlett; SCA Representative, Robin Moore, and with our advisors we have made VICA a rather strong organiza- tion for ACHS. Distributive Education The Appomattox County High School Chapter of the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is an integra - part of its Distributive Education (DE) Program, to which all DE students belong. Through this co-curricular, activity stu- dents are taught leadership and learn to regard the field of distribution as a profession. The clubs program of work includes: development of the ability to work in groups through local meetings, area con- ferences, and an annual state leadership conference of DECA, social events, an annual employee-employer banquet, participation in community projects and development of school projects to promote good public relations, are also in- cluded in DECA’s program of work for a year. : ; Mrs. Burgess serves as the advisor for the ACHS DECA chapter, she encourages students participation in club ac- tivities in order to train them to become tomorrow’s effective leaders in the business world. Some of DECA’s special activities for the 1977-78 school year include participation in a District Officer's Training Con- ference, a Fall Rallyand Officer Initiation, a Homecoming Corsage Sale and an “Apple Day” during which the DECA members presented each teacher with an apple for American Education Week. 109 FBLA OFFICERS are Judy Ayers, President; Garlene Gaines; Vice-President; Sharon Roach, Secretary; Donna Gunter, Treasurer, Rita Reynolds, Representative; Francis McFadden, Historian; Debbie Roach, Parliamentarian; Melinda Davis, Chaplain No longer is classroom instruction enough for the developmentof strongaggressive leadership today in preparation for an ac- tive leadership role tomorrow. Through FBLA, members learn how to lead and participate in group discussions, preside at meetings and conferences, work effectively within committees, and engage in practical problem solving and decision making. Members leam the value of competition on local, district, regional and national levels by experiencing the responsibility of success as well as the ings of defeat. Through contact with teachers, advisors, employers, and interested business persons, FBLA members develop confidence in their own abilities . .. and learn that to develop them to their fullest is a personal responsibility as well as an organizational goal. 110 THE VARSITY CLUB is one of the most privileged clubs to be a part of. It is made up of athletes who have lettered in a particular sport. One of the privileges of being in the club is being able to purchase a Varsity Club jacket. Also, we have many fund raising ac- tivities that profit our members and in- dividuals. Our main project each year is to purchase a gift that will benefit the athletic department. Our sponsors are Mary Tolley, Lucy Harris, and Plicky Williams.

These members are chosen from qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The induction ceremony for this school year was filled with suspense as officers and other members of the club wandered through the student body tapping each of the new faces invited to join this prosperous club. To help the new members get settled into the club, a covered dish dinner was held in the school cafeteria; in December, all members were invited to go Christmas carolling and then at- tend a party held at the home of Mrs. Mary Holland. Some of the goals of the club were to make contributions to the Patrick Henry Boys’ Plantation and towards a student at- tending Presidential Classroom. This year the N.H.S. spon- sored and issued the Mary Grey Holland Scholarship of $50.00. .

PRESENTING different areas of occupational interest, in the form of monthly assemblies, allows the Career Council to assist the student body in a special way. The council, along with their sponsors Mrs. Harriet P. James, Mrs. Joyce Jamerson and Mrs. Linda Archer, arranges assemblies which they feel correlate with the in- terests of students and their plans for the future. Composing the Career Council is a group of students from each grade level who show an active interest in leadership and future planning.

The end — no this is where it all starts, taking what we've ieamed and going from there. How do grass roots fit into the picture? The question is one we've got to ask ourselves. The future may find us in a setting far different from this one, will we change or will we hold on to what we are? It is true that we've got to continue to grow and learn from our mistakes, but deep down is where it counts. We've heard a lot lately about “roots” and how they affect a person’s life. Grass roots, however, are different, those who have known itsay it’s special,those who have not always try to find it. Grass roots is more than where you came from, it’s as much a part of you as a branch is to a tree, even if it’s cut off it’s still part of the tree. “Okay, sit down,” says Mr. Brenda Higginbotham, Gloria Bailey, and Allan Basemore are working Eyes on your copy not your fingers. hard on their English assignment. 148 One more of these questions and I’m leaving.

The streets of Magic Kingdom. FLORIDA ...USA Everyone wants a picture with this jolly fellow. Is this Polly Carter’s twin? Duane Hogan tries to get some “shut-eye” before the fun begins. After a year of hard work and determination, the class of 78 finally made their dream of going to Florida a reality. Wednesday, May 17th, two buses from the James River Bus Line Service came to take those Seniors who had long awaited this trip to their destination . . . Florida. Although they were a lit- tle late arriving at the school, everyone waited patiently, but with great excitement for the enjoyment that was to come. The buses pulled off with our seniors and for the first time the un- derclassmen realized what school would be like without the Seniors of 78. In Florida, everyone had a fabulous time shopping at the Buena Vista Mall. Disney World was exciting also with “Space Mountain” being its most devastating attraction. A rainstorm ruined the activities that were planned for the evening. Wet'n Wild and Sea World were fun but the Red Carpet Inn was the main attraction because there, the Seniors settled down to a nice quiet evening around the pool and a very comfortable night in their beds. Although the seniors ran into a few problems along the way with the buses, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved and it even added to the memories that will always linger on ... the unforgettable memo ries of the Senior Class of 78. The evening of April 29th was a very exciting even- [ ing for all the A.C.H.S. upperclassmen who attended the Junior-Senior prom. The theme, “Nights on Broadway” was carried out by decorations that created an image of being on Broadway. 1 The Junior class chose Glen Duff and Donna Volturo to reign as King and Queen over the prom festivities. Rindy Lawson and Sheena Watts were prin- i cesses and Monroe Dyess and Gary Tanner were |} : princes. | The band “Crimson” entertained the crowd with a | melody of hits. Although they weren’t the band the . Juniors voted on, they turned out to be “alright”. The refreshments were delicious and everyone en- joyed nibbling on them between dancing. The Junior ; class had their work cut out for them to make prom 78 a success and the senior class congratulated them ia aati NIGHTS ON... Lockers transform to New York skyline.

Below: Connie Murray was named Most Valuable Player for the 1978 Softball Team and received the Out- standing Female Athlete Award for the year. nie n Stretch It was a season of mishaps, injuries, and just plain bad luck, yet the dedicated players continued to give their best, although their records which slipped to 4-5 for the Raiders and 6-7 for the Raiderettes were hardly in- dicative of the kind of ball they played. The statistics proved that, in the case of the Raiderettes, defense was their weakness with the team doing better than their opponents in every category except errors. The story was the same in baseball with the injuries and tough luck adding strikes against the team. It was ironic to note that, although the Raiders didn’t make it into the tourna- ment, Appomattox received more all-district honors than any other school. First team all- district honors went to Andy Wingfield (catcher), Buddy McFadden (OF), and Freddie Mitchell (DH). Jay Franklin made second team all district as outfielder. At the spring sports banquet more honors were presented. The MVP award was given to Andy Wingfield; Best Outfielder — Buddy McFadden; and Most Improved Infielder — Frankie Tanner. The Raiderettes played two tournament games and received a second team all-district honor which went to Connie Murray for out- field. The other eight starters were named to the honorable mention all-district team. Five trophies were presented to the following Raiderettes: Connie Murray — MVP; Berneta Moore — Best Offensive Player; Annette Carter — Best Defensive Player; Johanna Belter — Most Improved; Susan Handy — Rookie of the Year. 1978 SOFTBALL TEAM: Co- Captains Roni Franklin, Con- nie Murray, Roxie Martin, and Berneta Moore, Karen Johnson, Angie Richardson, Susan Martin, Susan Handy, Angie Mann, Susan Godsey, Johnna Belter, Stephanie Ferguson, Mgrs.

ACHS Golf Team: Up To Par The Appomattox Raider Golf team had a very successful season, winning 10, and only losing 3 matches. Captain R. L. Harris, along with Ronnie Robinson, Reed Johnson, and Gordon Lawson led the Raiders while Jimmy Roach and Ernie Chenault added needed support. One of the highlights of the year was in a match with the RRD, (Rustburg Red Devils) when R. L. Harris, scored a hole in one. For the second time in two years the Raiders qualified for Regional competition by plac ing second in District Play. The Raiders having a season well over “par’, are looking forward to an even better season next year. °78 Golf Team q Ade — ae Dy Cer Special Olympics A day full of fun, laughter, and lots of determination is a day at Special Olympics.

ACHS Roadrunners Running with the perseverance of Wiley Coyote, the ACHS boys track team developed a lot of character during the 1978 season, finishing with a record of 0-5. In order to promote interest in participating in more than one event, Coach Ray Archer organized a pentathaton and a decathalon. The pentathaton, a five event contest, was won by Robert Harding. The overall winner of the decathalon was Andrae Spencer. The girls track team showed a few more “Roadrunner Characteristics, ending the season with a record of 3-4. They were also able to send Mary Franklin to the state track meet, where she finished third. Coaches, Sam Martin and Ray Archer, seemed to be pleased on the whole with the progress of their teams.

Class day 78, began with the standing of the underclassmen, as the Seniors, in the form of blue and grey streamers, marched into the auditorium. All looked on with a mixture of emotion, as the Senior class president, Ronnie Richardson, started the class day activities. Emotions stayed on the rise as the class history was read by Karen Gillaspie. Next came the class motto, which was, “To strive is to achieve”, this was read by Marzetta Hodnett. The Seniors were able to show off their musical abilities, as the class song, “Memories”, writ- ten and composed by Roxie Martin, was sung. All waited patiently, with a twinge of anxiety, as the scholarships and awards were given, and those students recognized. Then came the giving of the gifts to those people who had become very special to the Seniors, Mr. Bat- tle, Mrs. Beasley, Mr. McLean and Mr. Armontrout. Next came the long awaited reading of the last will and testament by Jay Franklin and Judy Ayers. After many laughs and a few tears, it was time for class day to end. As the alma mater was sung and the recessional started, both Senior and underclassmen knew things would never be quite the same. css aa en a a aS a Sica A pacha ee A AERA ae ecg rape ieion tatiana beatae MRel At ie RA LAOS: Cat Seabee TY wetiee t i SiO OD conse sia Valedictorian and Salutatorian are recognized.

TO STRIVE IS TO ACHIEVE was the motto of the graduating class of 1978. On June 9th, the graduates felt within themselves that pride of achievement. Starting with the first grade, each individual strove to take another step higher. Graduation wasn't the end of the ladder but the beginning. Friday was given to the seniors as their day. Each awoke that cloudy morning with the sad sensation that today was their last day as Raiders. But as the day brightened, so did the graduates. By 8:00 o'clock that evening, each senior was full of excitement. Commencement exercises were conducted by senior class president, Ronnie Richardson. David Eye; Valedictorian and Glen Duff; Salutatorian, realizing this would be their last time together as a class, made their speeches wishing their fellow classmates good luck in the future.
