The Equestrian Club started money raising bake sales in September in order to provide the funds for riding trips to Bar- J Ranch near Fairfax, Virginia. The riding was not uneventful and included such attractions as stubborn horses, who almost submerged their riders in a desperate attempt for water, and a horse which couldn’t be coaxed to leave the stable yard. For the majority, most of the members had a good time, while some even tried the jumps which were available on the course. The club did not ride in the winter because of the cold weather; but come spring the members were ready to try it all again. Ever have the feeling that some people were just too busy to breathe? Well, that was the only way to describe the Future Business Leaders of America. They began in September with an open house presentation to all the business classes. This was followed by a fall workshop, which was to explain the upcoming events to the FBLA members. The association collected for UNICEF in October, while some of the members attended the Southern Region Leadership Conference, held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The conference was for discussion of state and bicentennial projects. In November, they collected food for Thanksgiving for the Salvation Army and needy families. The members also helped at Lee Wood Nursing Home for a Senior Bingo night. During the new year, the FBLA assisted the SGA in the magazine drive and on February 11, held an open house for the faculty. On March 14, they helped with the Walk-A-Thon. From April 9-11, several members attended the State Convention held in Roanoke, Virginia. The convention offered competition for offices and training for bettering skills.

Outside again! Warm days and cool nights marked the beginning of the Spring of ’75. In the celebrating, the bats swung, balls were kicked and hit, batons were passed, and new records were set. The final season of another competitive year yielded two district champions and many other admirable records. Through diligence and perseverance, we earned our place among the top schools and not at the very bottom as was usually expected of new schools. At the beginning of the spring, games were played in the hot sweltering afternoons. Due to parent opposition, the school board reversed the policy of no commemoration night games; however, only Boys Varsity Baseball and Boys Varsity Soccer were affected by its decision.
