The class of ’77 moved into orbit this year by starting off with a car wash at Phillips 66 in September, which brought in money for the junior class fund. This fund was the basis of the payment for the junior prom and the junior ring breakfast which were both held during junior week at the end of April. In order to improve class spirit and identify the class of ’77 as being special, the juniors ordered “space cadet T-shirts” and wore them at athletic and casual events. As ctess spirit rose, so did new ideas for expressing it. During November, colleotions were taken for the making of the junior class flag. The proof ot the flag shows the juniors enthusiasm in supporting their class. Directing the Band is Betsy Thompson — President, Dennis Stewart — Treasurer, Regina Teffery — Secretary, John Warren — Vice President. Full of the anticipation of buying junior class rings in December, Brian Lee carefully scrutinizes his ring pamphlet for one that suits him. 44 Clubs and Organizations

Spirit of 76 can be defined by using the Senior class as an example. The seniors’ activeness and dedication to their school helped finish off the year with accomplishments that let everyone know that this was the first graduating class. They were involved in activities ranging from car washes to planning and carrying out their own graduation. They started off the year by gathering together the students of Lake Braddock for the first Soc Hop of the year. Their several fund-raising projects included a Bike-a-Thon, where half the money went to the Senior class and half the money went to the Northern Virginia Training Center, and a crafts booth at the Fall Festival. They were also sponsors of the Sweet Heart Dance and the Senior Prom. All in all, it was a promising year for the first graduating class of Lake Braddock.
