Lacrosse coach, Bud Mayo, talks over some strategy with the players dur¬ ing a time out, but the help is a little late as George Mason gets in the last point, winning by one. Senior midfielder, Mike Norton, 23, attempts to rush down field in action against Woodson. Lacrosse, opening its season in the spring of 1975, was categorized as a club because there was not enough interest in the school systems to make it a sport. Besides the lack of interest, there would be a financial problem with the cost of uniforms and equipment. According to Coach Mayo and Mr. Bill Savage, Director of Student Athletics in Fairfax County, Lacrosse would become better known and soon catch on in other schools, like soccer and swimming. When Lacrosse started at Lake Braddock, students, as well as teachers, wondered what the long sticks with nets on the end were for. Members of the Lacrosse team were really enthusiastic about playing, but first they had to try out for positions. Midfieldmen, attackmen, defensemen, and goalies were the four possible positions. Next, two teams were picked, one containing the thirty best varsity players and the second team containing twenty J.V. players. Starting the last of March through the middle of April in 1975, four games were played with Lake Braddock winning two and losing two.

Lacrosse was a new experience at Lake Braddock and the team had an enjoyable and successful year, so for the future of Lake Braddock look for Lacrosse!

During their first year as a full club of 40 members representing all grade levels from freshmen to seniors, the Keyette club plunged head-on into the school and community projects which were planned over the summer. In the fall, the Keyettes painted the football trash cans purple and gold, helped clean the stands after the football games, sold activity calendars for the Booster Club, and guided parents at the intermediate school’s Parents’ Night in September. They also collaborated with the Key club in co-hosting the International Children’s Festival and a “Progressive Dinner,” both in October. They continued their burst of energy with a canned food drive for Thanksgiving, a party for Children’s Hospital at Christmas, and a “visiting library” at an Old Folks Home in the winter. This activity involved bringing and reading library books to the elderly. In March, the girls attended the Keyette International Convention in Washington, D.C. and returned wi th excitement and ideas for next year. Their District Project for the year, held in the spring, was the bloodmobile for the Red Cross. Both the school and community benefited from the enthusiasm and concern shown by these girls. Parents get lost, foot Cindy Long helps the par¬ ents around on back to school night. The Booster Club sold activity calendars to raise money for other school activities. Calendar sales were high on back to school night, and the Keyettes volunteered their services to help out.

The Latin club was busy doing just about everything this year, from banquets to conventions. The club started the year with a Halloween party held during October. It then held an annual Christmas party, called a Saturnalia for the members. The Saturnalia was a festival celebrating the time of harvest. Romans celebrated the Saturnalia by exchanging gifts of gold, silver and bronze (plates, other household utensils, and coins) and little packages of sweet meats and nuts. During this holiday period the masters and slaves exchanged places for a day and assumed each other’s rights and privileges. The holiday was characterized by lavish banquets and much socializing among friends. Some of the members attended a Latin convention held in Roanoke, Virginia on December 12 and 13. In the spring, the club held a banquet at one of the member’s houses, to which all the members wore their roman togas. Finally, the club ended the year with a picnic for the members. Scattered in between these activities were various bowling, ice skating and roller skating trips. As Mr. Sipe tries to ignore the yearbook photographer, he explains that the club must start to organize for their Christmas party, the Saturnalia, way in advance .
