The student listens and observes. He concentrates. He then applies. He has learned. At the beginning of the school term, the stu- dent, anxious, reluctant, or indifferent, soon finds his place at James River. As the year progresses, he comes to discuss his education with others, but occasionally he finds himself reminiscing, while younger students look forward to their high school days. 7 Whether developing their co-ordination or hurrying to the cafe- teria, the students are forever moving throughout the school and the grounds. Their footsteps may echo and spill down the silent corridors during classes, or they may be drowned out by the sound of voices, yelling and whispering, at the end of the class period. This is their world, a sphere formed by their concern and exist- ing upon their ability. Working, playing, reasoning, they move throughout this world, realizing that its only limitations are those imposed by their knowledge— the content of their minds. 9 Students are not content to merely exist, but must achieve, accomplish, and create. They meet and solve everyday problems, utilizing the three indisputable assets of mankind— reason, logic, and 1 sense, and in doing this prepare them- Fnr the more difficult situations that are j stu- niss a i and report es the home in 12 Lights ablaze, sun ablaze, test awaits, performance is expected, practice ends, and the game begins. Spectators fill the stands and line the sides while the game clashes before them. They throng the gym and bloat it with spirit, until the boldness of their ages is deafening. Anticipation, disappointment, anger, and disgust can be seen on the same face in a matter of seconds. Coaches and fathers may argue about potential, but the scoreboard tells a clear tale. 13 14 Regardless of weather, the teams, casts, choruses, and cheerleaders attend practices, for it is these summer, morn- ing, after school, and evening sessions that give them the skill and confidence to perform before a packed audience. In keeping with their motto, Practice is the best of all the instructors, they average ten practice hours per perform- ance to add a magic touch to the activity of the seasons. 15 i ten A bell at the end of the sixth period is a signal for students to seek their pleasure in eleven-hundred- and-forty different ways. Some congregate at Ran- some ' s, some scan the most recent magazines, and some just think. Time spent in relaxing is not wasted. 17 kMfl 18 ACADEMICS The Academic achievement of its students has been a source of pride to James River this year. The faculty encouraged the student to do the best he could. The student found that perseverance, willingness to learn, and plain hard work are necessary for accomplishing anything worthwhile. The curriculum at James River was designed to help the student prepare for adult life. Academic courses were offered to the college-bound student, while business students took courses that would be of use to them in jobs after high school. James River ' s teachers set examples for their pupils to follow. Besides teaching efficiently, they gave of their time after school sponsoring clubs and other extra- curricular activities. The teachers were glad to talk with the student about his schoolwork and answer questions when he was in need of help. 19 The Faculty Prepared Us Our administration and faculty advise and di- rect us in our quest for knowledge. They light the way to the future, for the future depends on qualities developed today. Willingness to give more than required, building self-reliance, and developing determination for success in life are exemplified by the efforts of our teachers. Assistant Principal, Mr. Howard A. Johnston. for the Future Ahead The teachers enjoyed discussing their morning classes with each other at lunch. History and Government teachers, Mrs. Nell Thompson, Miss Ruby Warren, Mr. Wallace C.

Dwight McDilda works diligently on one of Miss Zimmerman ' s Senior English quizzes. 24 at James River works on a quiz. A vigorous program of English is stressed at James River High School. Students are of- fered six courses of English consisting of an English class for each of the five grades and an Advanced English course for seniors. The study of English involves more than gram- mar and vocabulary. A student must also learn to reason through his idea and to ex- press it clearly and concisely in words— a challenge to anyone. The English language is a tool, but a tool that must be used by a skilled worker. Then it becomes more than a form of communica- tion— it becomes beauty embodied in words and phrases. Bobby Hunter reads one of his compositions to the Advanced English class. 25 Math Students Mr. Johnson teaches his advanced math class. The first semester this class studied trigonometry and the second semester, advanced algebra. RIGHT: Mrs. Hedgebeth shows her class how to work a geometry problem. Students at James River are of- fered a well-rounded math course consisting of an introduction to math and a general math in the eighth grade, two years of algebra, one year of geometry, a business math, and an advanced course of trigo- nometry and advanced algebra. In these classes students learn to deal with many objects familiar to the math student— graphs, equations, slide rules, formulas, and theorems. The student learns not only to use mathematical principles, but to rea- son also. He then can apply his thoughts to the solution of a problem. 26 Learned to Reason 27 Science Classes Launched by the Soviet Union in October of 1957, Sputnik I, the first manmade satellite to orbit the earth, threw the world into a study of science, a study whose intensity was unparalleled in the history of mankind. James River offers its students an opportunity to obtain a taste of each of the principal sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Through biology, students evolve a theory of the origin, development, structure, and functions of plants and animals; through chemistry, an understanding of the composition of substances; and through physics, a knowledge of the phenomena of matter and energy and the physical changes in matter. Mr. Hundley explained a tricky problem to his students in Advanced Biology. Ronald Biggs tried an experiment in Miss Eubank ' s Chemistry class. Miss Eubank relaxed with her students while they awaited the ringing of the bell. 28 These students learned to concentrate on their lessons in Mrs. Paine ' s General Science class. of James River Mrs. Paine takes time to check a make-up test that one of her students just completed. Mr. Hundley watched contentedly as his Physics students pondered over their work. Miss Eubank ' s students listened carefully as she instructed them in her Chemistry class. Mr. Shotwell points errors out to members of his Biology class. 29 History Was Continually Gary Barger changed the records as students listened and learned in Miss Warren ' s eighth grade Social Studies class. 30 The students in Mrs. Thompson ' s World History class worked hard on a test. Being Made History is continually being made. Its importance lies not in the accumulation of names, dates, and facts, but rather in the application of these events to contempor- ary society. As history repeats itself, an- cient arguments become modern crises and diplomats find that the tact that once sheathed swords can also disarm atomic bombs. A comprehensive study of current af- fairs can occur only when students are familiar with world cultures, American History, and the problems that face a democracy. Emphasizing class participa- tion and individual expression, the Social Studies Department presents an educa- tion in the humanities that produces well- informed citizens— the designers and builders of a better tomorrow. The students in Mr. Shield ' s American History Eleven class listened attentively as he asked them questions about their i, lesson. 31 Foreign Languages Added WM Mr. Bolton helped Nancy Dunbar with a sentence she had translated from English into Latin in a Latin I class. Jet transportation, in lessening the distance between continents and in bringing European neighbors closer to our shores, has made the United States aware of t he need for education in foreign language. James River High School met this need by providing two years of study in French and Latin. First the student received a foundation in grammar and vocabulary, then he studied the cultural aspects of the French and Romans to gain a better understanding of these people. The language lab was used to aid the linguist in perfecting his pronunciation. French I students often worked in the language lab. 32 Variety to School Life Latin II students occasionally day dream. 33 As the Sun Colored Flowers, Beauty must not be lost in this world of auto- mation. The purpose of art is that of inspiring people not merely to look, but to see into the life of things. The art department, under the lead- ership of Mr. Hundley, believes that creativity should be a facet of every student. Whether building a book end, painting an original oil, or reaching beyond formal knowledge gained in art courses, the students strive for perfection as their key objective. Education in art at James River High School develops sensitivity, individuality, and creativity. Pictures drawn by Art II students. Barbara Noel, an Art II student, worked very diligently in oil paints. 34 So Did Art Color Life 35 Business Students Developed Careers in science and the professions have become foremost in the United States, but all chemists, physicists, doctors, lawyers, clergymen, and other graduates depend upon clerical assistance. Primarily sustained by in- dustry and the professions, the modern sec- retarial field provides a valuable service and creates a completely beneficial relationship between the employer and the employee. Skilled in the use of the various office ma- chines, educated in stenographic techniques, and familiarized with proper etiquette and procedures, the commercial student of James River, after furthering his education, takes his place in the business world, the backbone of our free-enterprise society. Shorthand I students worked hard to master the many shorthand characters. Second-year Shorthand students took several letters in a series to be transcribed on the typewriters. Rebecca Petty, one of ten Clerical Office Practice students, helped Mrs. Shifflet in the office during the past term. 36 Talented Skills Students in Mr. Johnston ' s general business class worked hard to complete their course. Linda Riddle, James Martin, Dreama Tolley and Margaret Nofsinger prepare to run off a stencil under the watchful eye of their second-year Typing teacher, Mrs. Morris. Bookkeeping students this year worked hard on their practice sets for the last six-weeks ' period. Mrs. Morris gave Becky Montgomery help on a problem in Typing I second period. 37 Homemaking Was David Barger and Gary Simpson cut their prize-winning pie so that they might share it with the Home Economics boys. Despite the fact that modern society tends to buy prepared foods and purchase ready-made clothing, a knowledge of homemaking prepares a young woman for an unavoidable part of her future. Students, exposed to the many areas of Home Economics, realize the unlimited scope of this field. In the process of studying child de- velopment, food preparation, clothing construc- tion, housing, and home decorating, the future homemaker discovers potential ability and feels a sense of accomplishment as she develops her idea into a finished product. Valuable knowledge and experience acquired in the department can be applied throughout life. Carolyn Woodson, Lynne Bryant, Kitty Burgess, Donna Boblett, Judy Ruble and several other senior girls prepared a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Jeannette Giles modeled the evening dress she made tor the fashion show. 38 Basic to Life The proper method of removing hot bread from a pan was demonstrated here by Bertha White. Mrs. Deisher showed the girls in her Home-Economics class one of the many types of material they would work with. Miss Eleanor Starke from the Virginia Electric Power Company demonstrated proper lighting techniques. •JO Skill Was Gained by Forests have been leveled and animals have been overcome with implements that are products of man ' s thought, but constructive thought is a by-product of knowledge. Knowledge is the beginning and end of all progress, for every worthwhile advance is begun by the col- lection of known information, continued by the application of this information, and completed with the acquisition of a new understanding, an understanding that will, eventually, become accepted as knowledge. If man is to continue to pro- gress he must temper his one unique weapon— his mind— with knowledge. Through the guidance of Mr. S. B. Mc- Ghee and Mr. Price, the vocational stu- dents gain practical skills and knowledge that will be useful in the coming years. Mr. S. B. McGhee, Vocational Agriculture Instructor Industrial Arts, taught by Mr. Price, is one of the many facets of the vocational program at James River. Practice in Vocational Subjects Students work diligently in the Vo- Ag department. Ricky Sink and Danny Morris arrange items on a tool cart. Mr. McGhee demonstrates soldering to one of his classes. 41 Girls’ Physical Education Built James River provides the student with the opportunity for both developing her co-ordination and acquiring a new attitude toward health. Active participation in gym classes and an intense study of body functions and care enable the individual to mature mentally and physically. A reasoning mind— the distinguishing characteristic of man— is impossible without sound health. Activities include speedball, field hockey, square and folk dancing, basketball, volleyball, track, individual sports, and softball. ■ 1 1 1 - t pip - — 42 Co-ordination and Physical Fitness 43 Healthy Minds, Strong Bodies In order to be mentally alert one must first be physically fit. The boys at J.R.H.S. start in the eighth grade to condition their minds as well as their bodies. The boys played soft- ball, basketball, tumbling, trampo- lines, and touch football. But physi- cal education was not all fun and games. There was much hard work involved, and every physical educa- tion student had aching muscles to prove it. The boys were given physical fit- ness tests at the beginning and end of term which indicated the student ' s progress during the year. The test was composed of such feats as broad-jumps, set-ups, pull-ups and 50-yard dash. The results were then compared with the average percent- age of high school students through- out the country. In addition to actual physical ac- tivity, the classes had courses in health, which helped the boys under- stand the body functions and sys- tems. The three years of physical educa- tion required at J.R.H.S. helped the student to leave high school as a mature adult. 44 Developed in James River High 45 46 SENIORS The Senior Class worked to prepare themselves for the responsibilities of young adulthood. Government classes emphasized the citizen ' s duty to participate in his government. Seniors, reaping the benefits of careful planning, completed their preparations for college or jobs after graduation. Senior life had its moments of play as well as of work. The arrival of their class rings was a day of pride and happiness. The senior play, Betty Jane from Punkin Lane , brought howls of glee from the audience. Seniors were known to laugh until tears came to their eyes. The annual Senior Day trip to Lakeside on May 12 was an occasion of fun and frolic. The Junior-Senior Prom marked a beautiful moment in the lives of each senior. Soon the time for final examinations had arrived. But most seniors realized it, the sand had run out of the hour glass. Commencement exercises ended their high school career. 47 The Senior Elizabeth Lucille All Gerald Howard Asbury Laura Jane Barker David Hilton Barger Donna Marie Boblett Robert Donald Booth 48 Class of ’66 Melody Ann Breeden Danny Gordon Bryant Rachel Lillian Brewbaker Roland Adair Bryant Peggy Elaine Britt James Joseph Campbell Edith Marie Brown Wayne Douglas Corell As small children these students acted instinctively, but as their minds and bodies developed, they began to think. Twelve years of formal edu- cation have aided them in their de- velopment of constructive thought processes. The senior year began with the taking of the senior pictures. Weeks passed without much realization of time. Shortly after the Christmas holidays, the senior class play, Betty Jane from Punkin Lane was pre- sented. The seniors paused momentarily and saw in the immediate future- commencement, and in the distant future— life. 49 Have Taken Linda Gale Brown Kenneth Ralph Crush Sharon Lynne Bryant Dennis Wayne Davis Katherine Lee Burgess Robert Ernest Edwards Mary Jane Childress Robert Calvin Gibson 50 Their Final Walk Clara Christena Conner John William Goodwin 51 Through the Halls Robert Sidney Hunter Janadine Joyce Eubank David Blair Johnson Linda Faye Goodwin Jeannette Moten Giles Donnie Dean Johnson Nicholas Tandy Kern Helen Jane Hartley This modest display of brilliance and alertness was presented by David Johnson, a member of the academically inclined Senior class. and Classrooms of Hollis Gerald Kessler Jacqueline Faye Haymaker David Vernon Layman Sandra Mark- ham stops momentarily to refresh herself during the rush of changing of classes.

Although the achievement of that goal was still a year in the future, eighth graders, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors kept their goal in sight, always working toward it. The eighth graders entered James River with high hopes, bubbling enthusiasm, and a few fears as well. They soon adjusted to their new surroundings. This was a big step in their lives of which each was very proud. The freshman class ac- cepted more responsibility as they advanced to another rung of the ladder. Many students assumed club offices and heavier work loads. The sophomore class showed their foresight and began earning money for the prom they will give next year. The sophomore girls ' basketball team won the class championship. The junior class had many activities this year. They presented a play, Take Your Medicine , which the student body enjoyed. The prom, with the theme of Dazzling Diamonds , was an occasion to be long remembered. The underclassmen were active in all phases of James River life. During the past year, they worked hard, played hard, and advanced another step toward young adulthood. 67 The Junior Class of ’66 Larry Agnor Jane Alphin Ronnie Anderson Phoebe Bosserman Larry Austin Nancy Brugh Ronnie Biggs Sindy Bryant David Bowers Wanda Campbell Rhudy Camper Gail Camper Maynard Clark Brenda Chesnut Ray Conlon Betty Childress James Conner Janet Clark Roger Day Darlene Coffey James Doss Joyce Definbaugh Donnie Dwier Carlos Dudley The Junior Class presented Take Your Medicine, to the public on April 29 at 8:00 p.m. The cast included from left to right: FIRST ROW — Judy Hubble, Ronnie Biggs, Dixie Hal e, James Monaghan, Sherryl Shiflett, Betty Sorrell.

The Freshman Class of sixty-six has one-hun- dred and nine members. This year in Mrs. Paine ' s General Science class there were very many out- standing projects pertaining to Physical Science. James River has many students that are very studious, athletic and have many different talents. These students are the ones that will go forward through college and on through life.

They participated in many sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities. Many of the students in the FHA fashion show, who appeared on stage for the first time, were from the eighth grade Home Economics class. The eighth grade also participated in the class tournaments. The boys earned much recognition when they defeated the mighty seniors. The eighth grade boys received cer- tificates for participating in track. Some of the girls won ribbons at the track meet at William Fleming. Two of the eighth grade girls worked on the annual staff this year. All of the students worked hard to earn their place in our school. 80 Came to an End.

James River students gave of their time and talents to help make high school a more worthwhile experience. These students came to realize that to one who serves, the rewards are great— rewards of rich experiences, friends made, and feelings of pride and satisfaction. The Student Co-operative Association co-ordinated student activities and gave students experience in self-government. The Future Teachers of America pro- moted the profession of teaching. The Roundtable Staff kept the presses rolling and presented the student body with a newspaper. The Kanawhan staff gave up Saturdays and afternoons after school so that the Kanawhan would please the students. Members of the Francis Library Staff working during their study halls, helped Mrs. Deese, the librarian. Others tutored their fellow students who needed assistance in their studies. James River was fortunate in having conscientious custodians who kept the school building and grounds clean and beautiful. The cafeteria workers prepared nutritious lunches for hungry students each day. The bus drivers carried out their duties in a safe and responsible manner. 83 Student Council Represented the Student The S.C.A. members meet at regular meetings once a month to discuss the many problems of the student body. In the meeting pictured above, Nicky Kern proposes a motion in one of the regular meetings. Bobby Edwards, S.C.A. President, presided over the regular Mrs. Marshall, the S.C.A. sponsor, gave guidance to the S.C.A. members throughout the year, meetings. 84 A pure democracy in ancient Greece, the United States, or a school the size of James River, would be impractical. Aware of this, the fifty S.C.A. represent- atives tried to represent the students, faculty, and administration to the best of their ability. Many projects such as a $100 scholarship, a float in the Christmas parade and clean-up day were sponsored by the S.C.A. With the artistic talents available, the school emblem was designed. These projects were carried out by money raised at con- cession stands during the sports events. Because of their hard work, the S.C.A. received an achievement award for the seventh consecutive year. All of the knowledge gained throughout the year provided an excellent background to the democratic way of Amer- ican life.

THIRD ROW: Colleen Kidd, Linda Kidd, Patricia Mundy, Wanda Linthicum, Christena Conner, Patricia Linkenhoker, Delma Alexander, and Anita Barger. Patty Mundy returned books to the shelves. Mrs. Deese and Barbara Frango planned the staff activities. 87 F.T.A. Promoted Future Teachers The members of the F.T.A. held a regular meeting with their president, Brenda Fuller presiding. The officers of the F.T.A. were as follows: Brenda Fuller, President; Janis Eubank, Vice President; Freda Lunsford, Secretary; Kay Craft, Librarian; Charlotte Fountain, Reporter; and Carlos Dudley, Treasurer; not pictured. The satisfaction of knowing that he advanced the education of the learner is the greatest com- pensation that a teacher receives. Miss Robertson, advisor of the Future Teachers of America Club, introduced club members to both the rewards and the problems of teaching. Through observing teachers at Eagle Rock and Buchanan Elementary Schools, they learned of the pleasure of being depended upon to answer a question, and the responsibility of not answering that question, but rather of encouraging the student to seek the answer for himself. The F.T.A. sponsor, Miss Robertson, discussed an article in a teacher ' s magazine with Donna Brooks. 88 i Charlotte Foui Eubank helper Brewbaker, janquet. MORAL AND SPIRITUAL .

John Oliver, the editor, and reporter Marlene Gross received the Roundtable before its distribution throughout the school. In printing human-interest ar- ticles and editorials as well as news reviews, the editors and staff of the Roundtable publish a journal that, as their title head- lines indicate, is by the student, for the student. The members of the Round- table Staff receive basic journal- istic training and their efficiency is evident in the honors bestowed upon them. The Roundtable Staff are members of the Virginia High School League, in which they won a trophy for having the best mimeographed school newspaper in Virginia for 1964-65, and the Southern Interscholastic Press As- sociation which gave them first place awards for the past five, years. 90 News to All Darlene Coffey, assistant editor received constructive criticism on her article from Mrs. Thompson, the advisor. Members of the Roundtable Staff, such as Melody Breeden here, worked hard in preparing their editorials for the Roundtable. The Roundtable received its final touch by Howard Johnston and Stanley Fringer. 91 I 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 13 14 13 f6 . 7 20 21 22 23 24 30 31 12 3 4 5 6 7 ft 9 10 U 12 ' 3 14 13 16 :? 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 26 29 30 31 Kanawhan Required Hard 92 Work To produce a splendid 1966 KANAWHAN was the aim of the KANAWHAN staff. Through the direction of Mrs. Kathleen Low- man and Mr. Emmett Bolton, stu- dents sought to improve JRHS ' s yearbook with sharp photos, clever captions, informative copy, interesting layouts, and eye-catch- ing ads. Staff members searched for new ideas in every phase of JRHS life in order to produce a complete book. In December a massive sales drive set a new record— 350 annuals sold! A boon to a better annual was S.I.P.A., attended by several staff members, at Washington and Lee University. There was much to be learned at the conference, and students brought back valuable information to help make the 1966 KANAWHAN a storehouse of memories for JRHS ' s students. me memoers ot me nm in aw main STarr are: Miry Burgess, Larry Hambrick, Carolyn Woodson, Frankie Deisher, Kenneth Crush, Carmen Dudley, Lynne Bryant, Judy Ruble, Glenn Stevens, Becky Petty, Carole Anne Sprinkle, Bobby Hunter, Nancy DeWell, Carlos Dudley, Debbie Mountcastle, Barbara Frango, Theresa Kennedy, Jessie Stull, Janis Eubank, Brenda Chestnut, Cynthia Scott, Rhudy Camper, Sally Snead, Rozanne Oliver, Sally Hammit, Kate Provost, Minnie Henderson, Brenda Prease, Charlotte Seay, Dickie Sprinkle, Cathy Hyde, Wesley Kern, and Susan Bryant. 93 Student If it weren ' t for the help of the student workers, our school could not have been run as efficiently as it was.

Home Again! 101 102 ASSOCIATIONS Associations are perhaps one of the most important phases of our school year. They stimulate interest in many activities and display a noble record of service. Our students find an outlet for their energies in many organizations that form the core of extracurricular activities at James River. Members of all associations exemplify a desire to build in themselves qualities of while increasing their ability to aid others.

In order to remain within the society, they must either main- tain or improve their standing and, in doing so, accom- plish its goal, the encouragement of sound citizenship and intellectual pursuits. This was a very busy year for the Beta Club. The major activities included attending the Beta Club Convention at Hotel Roanoke and giving bas- kets of food and toys at Christmas to needy families. Study, recognition, striving to maintain academic position —this is the personal story of each Beta Club member. It is also the story of success. The Beta Club participated in the Christmas assembly along with many other organizations. 105 F.H.A.

While working with their objective— to help each family member recognize his abilities and strive for his full development— members learned not to underestimate the versatility of the American woman. The aims of the future homemakers were to stress the importance of individuality, to make youth aware of the importance of good physical and mental health, to encourage youth to establish pur- poseful goals and to work toward these goals, to emphasize the importance of good morals and manners and to promote good family relations.

The Chorus was composed of eighth and ninth grade students under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall. The Glee Club participated in both the Baccalaureate and Com- mencement exercises. I 14 Busy Year Mr. Richardson — director. When the school year opened, students in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades began tryouts for the Glee Club. Approximately fifty people were selected. The Glee Club met four times a month under the direction of Mr. Dennis Richardson in the regular activity period. Additional practices were called for special programs in which the Glee Club participated. The first song that the Glee Club practiced was the Alma Mater . After that it progressed to more difficult pieces such as those used in the Christmas program. When school reopened in January, eight members selected from the Glee Club began to work on the songs for the All State Chorus held in February at Chatham, Virginia, under the direction of Dr. George F. Kreuger. The next task for the Glee Club was to begin its work on the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs in June. So ended a busy year for the James River Glee Club. The All-Staters were Anne Marshall, Sandra Markham, Sally Snead, Cathy Hyde, Bobby Hunter, and George Nace. Also Charles Provost— not pictured.

The Science Club was formed to promote an interest in Science, one of the most important fields in today ' s world. The students work on advanced projects, from which they gain skills useful in later life. Through membership in this club, many have realized that science, the plaything of the past, is the prophet of the future.

To promote athletics is only one of the many purposes of the James River Varsity Club. School spirit, fair play, and sports- manship in all of its many phases are the main objectives of the club. Led by their sponsors, Coach Baker and Coach Shot- well, the boys surge ahead in their love for sports. Shiny new pins were received by the 30 members for the first time this year. The varsity club sponsored two bas- ketball games, one between the alumni and the varsity team and one between the J.V. team and the varsity club to raise money for the new varsity club jackets. i 118 Coach Baker and Coach Shotwell looked on as the varsity club meeting began. the Varsity Club The officers of the varsity club worked hard polishing the sportsmanship trophies that had been won.

I ATHLETICS Athletics played an important role in the life of James River High School and in the development of the individual student. A large percentage of the student body participated actively in some sport. Those not on a team could usually be found in the bleachers or on the sidelines giving the team their moral and vocal support. A student lacking school spirit was a rare sight indeed at James River this year. Although James River ' s showcase was not filled with trophies, it won something far more valuable— a wide-spread reputation for clean competition and good sports- manship. Whether in victory or defeat, James River showed itself to be a school of the highest calibre. 127 Sweet Taste of Victory 128 Varsity Football . . .

But, in the student ' s life, basketball means even more than that. It means long hours of tiresome practice, high hopes, and sometimes the lonely feeling of defeat as well as victory. To other students and to teachers, basketball means watching and rooting for good friends and working to show the best your school has to offer. Coach Shotwell taped James Conner ' s ankle.

Because it occurred at the same time as football, the participation, which was slim, was mainly composed of basketball team members. There were two meets this year in which James River participated. The first was with Alleghany High School in which Alleghany won. The second was a district meet in which eight teams participated.

The cheerleaders worked hard during the year on bulletin boards, show cases, and posters to prepare them for the games. Following three months of summer practice and cheerleading camp at Virginia Beach, the cheer- leaders began the school year by leading pep rallies and the cheering section at football games. Having little time to rest after football season, they immediately began preparing for the basket- ball games. With the completion of basketball season, in the latter part of February, came a period of training new girls and creating new cheers. All seasons were busy seasons for this squad. A special thanks was given to Miss Ruby Warren, the sponsor of this squad, and the rest of the faculty who provided the girls with trans- portation. The cheerleaders demonstrated precision jumps throughout the year. 148 Janis Eubank, Junior Co-Captain Carolyn McAllister, Senior Lynne Bryant, Senior Captain Carlos Dudley, Junior Lesylie Smiley, Senior Charlotte Fountain, Junior Margaret Stultz, Junior L. 1 1 1—r _j — i i — II r— r 1 7 . _l_ , i . .... i _ L ' § 1 1 i j 1 1 T VtI J 1 1 t r znzr $ ] 1 1 i i i ;■ ' ! — — i - Z rrl i 1 TI . i □ I ‘ 1 r r nz h i i nz ' zrj ! ■■ 1 r - ' yf , — 1 1 i n r IZl 1 of School Spirit Linda Snead, Junior 149 Junior Varsity Sherry Vines cheers for the Success — Yes!

The year was a busy one as the students were active in the many James River High special events which satisfied and developed their varied interests. Many of them did not leave the school building when the three o ' clock dismissal bell rang, but stayed to prepare for the school ' s events. The events provided learning, light-hearted fun, and relaxation for members. Any student interested in an activity was free to join if he could meet grade requirements. The various events aimed for the future, opening the doors of new interests for many, and benefiting the school as a whole through their activities. The students gained satisfaction in participating in class tournaments, complet- ing a project, or earning applause on the stage in front of an audience during a class play. Events served an important part in our daily life by opening new fields of interest and encouraging new friendships. They provided entertainment, but more important, they taught us to work together. Leadership and co-operation through group activity and organized fun came from this participation. 153 Highlights of The bonfire helped promote school spirit. Couples enjoy the homecoming dance. 154 In the class tournaments, the Faculty beat the Sophomores in an exciting game. the Year The seniors about to march in their last assembly. 155 Homecoming Festivities Were Highlighted Danny Bryant evades a Rockbridge player. 56 by the Court and Their Escorts James River ' s annual Home- coming football game was played against the Rockbridge Rebels, Friday, October 1, 1965.

The Homecoming court consisted of Freda Lunsford, junior representative; Letha Zah- radka, sophomore representative; Wanda Smith, freshman repre- sentative; and Andrea Furgerson, eighth grade representative. Through a smile, Kitty displays her happiness over being chosen the 1965-66 Home- coming queen.

The music for the prom was provided by The Invadors . by “Dazzling Diamonds” Mrs. Hedgebeth, a junior sponsor thanked all those who had helped with the prom. Prom night, with its unique and un- usual theme and casual atmosphere, greatly contrasted with the activity that had preceded the opening dance, for juniors had hurried, as they had never hurried before, to finish decorating for Dazzling Diamonds. Juniors, seniors, and guests spent an evening of conversa- tion and dancing to the music of The Invadors . The Juniors chose the king and queen as the highlight of the eve- ning. All seniors and their dates were called forward individually so they could see the crowning of the king and queen. Danny Bryant and Carolyn McAllister were crowned king and queen of the James River prom. | 59 Graduation - an Laughter filled the halls before graduation as happy seniors antici- pated the arrival of their final school days. When these days came upon them at last, there was little laughter at the school and many tears. All the seniors awaited the moment when the class averages were announced. Lucille All was chosen valedictorian and Frankie Deisher, salutatorian. However, the laughter and the tears are in the past for the senior, and with commencement came the responsibility of adulthood. Then is shown the true worth of these individuals— their associations with others. The girls hurried to get ready. Mr. Sprinkle presented awards to those Seniors who had a record of perfect attendance. 160 At last the big moment for the seniors had arrived. Exciting Event The big moment. 161 ADVERTISING Products are of no value unless the consumer is made aware of their existence. This is the pur- pose of advertising: to convinc- ingly present a commodity to the public. As the business cycle re- volves, want creating demand and demand necessitating produc- tion, advertising fulfills its role as the spokesman of industry. Advertisers deal in the ab- stract-words and images— to represent the concrete— goods and services— realizing that man is controlled through his thoughts and that it is to this realm that they must appeal. 162 BE A WINNER IN THE SHOW RING SOUTHERN STATES COOPERATIVE Troufville, Virginia EAGLE ROCK MILLING AND MFG.
