Peer arte eee ne A main goal of our school was to complete the construc- tion of our new building. This process excited not only teach- ers and staff, but students as well. The new facilities and environment created a differ- ent, exciting atmosphere. We believe our new building will affect us as well as newcomers to our school. New changes in the school oc- curred over the summer includ- ing renovation of the office, guidance department, and art department. The gymnasium was almost completed. We are proud of it, and feel that we deserve it. After more than fif- teen years of promises, it was about time we got a new facility. Above: Mrs. Smith, Larry Hudson, for Wil Henry.

The seniors felt it was about time they took over the top spot. Taking senior pic- tures, ordering graduation an- nouncements and caps and gowns, and creating their own float for the Christmas parade were only a few of their special activities. Those seniors want- ing to attend college found themselves taking college boards and achievement tests. The class of ’80 felt it was about time they got to order their well-deserved class rings. Planning prom was another big event too. College-bound jun- iors took preliminary SAT’s to give them an idea of their abil- ity to do college work. Sophomores anxiously await- ed getting driver’ licenses and Right: In Junior Achievement Sherri Southern learns new techniques about the business world from her adult ad- visors. Right: Mark Brumfield realizes being in high school isn’t all fun and games, but requires a bit of study. some even got cars! Being up- perclassmen, they took mini- mum competency test which an overwhelming percent passed. They also took the Armed Services Vocational Ap- titude Battery test. This was one more available measure- ment of what the students are capable of doing. Freshmen began to use some of their acquired liberties by getting involved in an array of varsity activities. Their pro- found presence was felt throughout the year beginning with their successive pep rally victories. Kighth graders thought it was about time they moved into high school status! They immediately adjusted to their atmosphere of new courses, sports, clubs, and an assortment of new freedoms.

Opening 5 Mud, Mess, And Major Changes Altavista has needed new school facilities for quite some time and everyone agreed it was about time we got what we needed when construction began in the fall of 1977. For a total of two school years, the students have fought the mud, the limited parking space, and make- shift classrooms in hopes of finally getting more modern facilities. Before school began this fall ru- mors circulated that school might not open on time but with our luck it did. School started slowly, with a fair amount of confusion. Many traditional classrooms vanished and all students, even seniors, walked around in a daze for a week or two. Below: Scaffolding has surrounded our school now for some time, and has become a familiar sight. 6 Opening Besides the mud and mess when it rained, the students were forced to put up with inconveniences every day. Going to the trailers with- out getting hit by a runaway bulldozer was pretty hard and trying to take tests with drilling and banging outside nearly drove us crazy. Walk- ing from your car to school was dangerous if you couldn’t dodge beams swinging in the air. Cyclone fences restricted us from treading into unsafe areas, and it was hard to con- centrate on Mrs. Blanks and English while Mrs. Tolley led French class in a dialogue. But all of these inconvien- iences will be worth it when we begin to use our new facil- ities. Right: Mountainous piles of books cover the floor of the book room, close to the beginning of school. Right: Our boys’ basketball coach, Ed Frazier, and our new athletic di- rector, Linda Hern, look over the floor of our new gym. We were all anxiously awaiting its grand open- ing.

Student activities covered a wide range of events. Highlighting the fall agenda was homecoming and initiation of club meetings and sports events. Plan- ning club agendas, including some very significant school-wide happenings, was prominent. During the year, these proposals were carried out in a way that enriched each student’s life in some way. Other things that touched our lives and affected our attire, knowledge, and _ social activities included fads, fashions, world news, places to go and things to do. By the year’s end we reminisced about everything we had accomplished including the various banquets and the prom which brought the year to a glorious close. Sponsored by the Virginia YMCA, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs are among our most active. Their chief aim is to serve the community through projects such as litter pick-up and fixing bas- kets for needy families. Two state- wide activities, Model General As- sembly and Leadership Adven- ture, have a strong attraction for our members. Thirty-two Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y members and advisors attended the 31st session of M.G.A. to learn the theory and practice of legis- lative processes in Virginia. Gov- ernor John Dalton and many oth- er important figures of state gov- ernment were present. Leadership Adventure, a week long session in Hi-Yers Serve Community which students learn about them- selves and others, is held at Fer- rum College. In addition to classes, free time for swimming, and playing basketball, softball, and tennis provided an opportun- ity to meet participants from oth- er schools. This past summer Al- tavista had thirty-one club mem- bers attending. Everyone had a great time. As a result of various service projects, the club has won the Ace Award 13 times, more than any other club in the state. This award is given annually to clubs meeting the necessary re- quirements. Angie Walker and Leslie Ferguson pay close attention at one of many sessions at M.G.A. Officers of the Hi-Y clubs: Jr. Tri-Hi-Y: Front treasurer; Teddy Ferguson, reporter.

Student Life 11 Aptitudes Draw Much Attention “T just hope I can keep up my grade average” was a common re- mark among many National Ho- nor Society inductees. By ll means, October 26 was a proud day for twenty students selected for membership into the presti- gious organization. The ceremony, held in the cafeteria, attracted parents and invited guests. Not only were they pleased with the event itself, but also seemed de- lighted with the entertainment provided. Below: Appearing on the television quiz show, Klassroom Kwiz, are Mike Reaves, Mark Finch, and Dennis Merricks. With an air of nostalgia and ex- citing choreography, the chorus treated guests to a musical extrav- aganza. The induction ceremony concluded with brief congratu- latory remarks by Mr. Edmunds. A reception in the library followed. As the year passed the Society represented the school well when three senior members participated on Klassroom Kwiz. Beginning November 26, Mike Reaves, Mark Finch, and Dennis Merricks de- feated four teams before finally retiring.

It was 7 o’clock in the morning. While most were barely awake, de- voted band members practiced dil- igently for an upcoming game. There were many games to play for, hence, early morning practices became ritual. Being in band was demanding but it balanced when you consider the fun, such as performing at King’s Dominion. Homecoming brought William Campbell onto the Colonel field where the two bands united and played together. It’s about time someone presented new ways to compliment our band. Left: Cooperation is the key word as our band and the band from William Campbell practice for homecoming halftime. Above: Being invited to perform at King’s Dominion rouses pride among band mem- bers, as seen on their faces. Student Life 13 Although SODA was not a new club, few students understood just what it was. Students Organized for Developing Attitudes was de- signed to aid youngsters in per- sonality development decision making. It encouraged them to ex- press their feelings and also be aware of those of others. SODA partners are required to take thirty hours of training which trains them in leading discussions, listening, and values clarification, to name a few. In the process of teaching sixth graders the impor- tance of individuality, SODA members began to appreciate it in themselves. Right: Holding a group discussion enables SODA partner, Scott Steele, to understand the attitudes of youngsters today.

How- ever, the journalism class was al- ready preparing for the yearbook. On the first day of summer vaca- tion they launched an ad campaign that helped finance this book. In August, fourteen members at- tended the Virginia yearbook workshop at Hampden-Sydney College. Thus by the time school Left: Breathing room is rather scarce in the darkroom as photographers rush to complete pictures for a deadline.

In an effort to promote sales a party was awarded to the class buying the most yearbooks. Re- sponse was enthusiastic from everyone but in the end seniors had purchased the greatest per- centage of books and enjoyed the party.

Christmas Traditions And Precedents Right: For the first time ever the senior class has a Christmas float. Below: Miss Robinson’s homeroom creates the winning bulletin board. Christmas was a favorite season for most students. We experienced the excitement of the Altavista Jaycees’ parade, the challenging art club door contest, and the happiness of friends. It was a time of the year when we could act out make believe. Santa Claus, Ru- dolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and many other characters helped us to create the fairy tale. The best time was when we got out of school on 16 Student Life December 21 and didn’t have to come back until January 2! Many students went on trips, visited friends, and exchanged gifts during the holidays. Christ- mas marked the ending of the year and the beginning of a new one. For many of us it added a mem- orable milestone to our lives. It was about time we felt the joy of giving and sharing with one an- other. If only the spirit could lin- ger throughout the year.

And sure enough, the Pizza Hut became Altavista’s biggest attrac- tion the moment it opened. How- ever, the Dairy Freeze is the place for action after games. Yet, people go out of town for entertainment such as concerts and movies. In - addition to school the Y has recre- ational programs for Altavista’s youth. Our town is a growing place _ providing a variety of student activities. Top: Alison Steele, Debra Sandler, Donna Ty- ler, Melanie Britt, and Laura Simmons enjoy a pizza at the new Pizza Hut.

All language students and F.H.A. members anticipated the events of their big highlight for the year — banquet day. It finally arrived but not without hours spent pre- paring the program and decorations. It all came off a great success with each of us experiencing the anxiety of performing before an audience of classmates and parents. The memories we acquired from these nights will linger and our imaginations are working now to create another season of banquets.

Long before we started feeling the excitement . and anticipation, planning was underway. The cheerleaders scheduled Kentucky to entertain at the dance which was held at the armory and. planned the backdrop around the theme “Always Be Together.” The cheerleaders weren’t the only ones, however, who began preparing. The band practiced its special pre-game and_ halftime - entertainment. And let’s not forget the football team who steadily worked to accomplish their goal of team improvement, but whose hopes were partially damaged as quarterback Chris Brumfield suffered a broken arm during the game. While these people spent time in preparation the rest of the students arranged dates and special apparel for the weekend. It was about time when the moments arrived in their intense excitement. Now they are neatly tucked away in our fondest memories.

The physical education department presented Advanced P.E. for those who wished to further athletic skills. The United Nations class made its debut in the social studies department. Some _ college-bound juniors and seniors took physics and calculus classes taught at the Vo-Tech Center. We all agreed that it was about time we got involved in new, intriguing classes. Mr. Erb Joins Administration “Who is the new assistant princi- pal?” He was not a new addition to the faculty but rather a transfer occupying a new position. This came as no surprise to us because we already knew Mr. Erb was capable. Assistant principal wasn’t the first position he had held for Mr. Erb started out as a physical education teacher, moved up to head of this department, and substituted as assistant principal during the period in which we had a change in administration. When asked about his own high school career Mr. Erb replied that he enjoyed it. He informed us that he had attended Frances Scott Key High School where he earned mostly A’s and B’s. After high school he had attended Bridgewater College from which he received his bache- lor’s degree in 1966. In 1972 he acquired his master’s from James Madison University. Mr. Erb said he wanted his children to attend Altavista High School. Aspirations for him include becoming a high school principal. Right: Mr. Erb discusses a matter of im- portance with Scott Jewell in the new main office. “It’s about time we got a bigger and better school,’ commented peo- ple working in guidance, on the library staff, and in study hall. Located across from the main office, guidance obtained new headquarters with offices for each counselor. Mrs. Hathaway and Mrs. Whitely were excited about the new media center. Mrs. Hughes endured rough working conditions conducting study hall in the cafe- teria beside makeshift classrooms. Everyone agreed better times were just around the corner. Above right: Writing an admission or maybe a tardy slip while conducting study hall is Mrs. Hughes. Right: Mrs. Hathaway and her secretary, Mrs. Whitely, search for some information for a student in the re- ference section of the library. 34 Academics One of Mr. Erb’s favorite aspects of his new job was diversity. He explained to us that each day for an assistant principal is different because each day presents new problems and challenges. Another thing he enjoyed was the freedom associated with the position. A less desirable side of his occu- pation was handling discipline because he seemed to encounter approximately the same problems and troublemakers everytime. He felt that everyone was here to learn and that if he got rid of the troublemakers by counseling with them before resorting to discip- linary action, if needed, everyone would benefit. Mr. Erb commented that he was excited about the new building and looked forward to moving into it. He has been pleased with the support from the com- munity and enjoyed his first year as a member of the administration. Above left: Checking the day’s agenda is Winston Edmunds, our principal.

Right: Another exciting day for Sharon Dagenhart, Jenny Davis, and Kevin Hun- ley, who are just three of the seniors par- ticipating in Advanced Placement English. Below right: Mr. Boteler makes his point clear during a session of Advanced Place- ment. Fifteen seniors participated in advanced placement English taught by Mr. Boteler for college- bound students. The course pro- vided an indepth study of both literature and composition, as well as vocabulary. Participants’ read literary works with utmost discernment and critical inter- pretation. The extensive reading material included various literary genres, complementary historical and literary background material, and literary criticism. Emphasis was placed on improving the stu- dent’s ability to read with critical understanding. In addition, the student was taught a variety of writing skills and analytical styles. Students wrote research papers, expositions, and analyses. In all aspects of the course, the standards required were those expected of freshmen at the college level. These students agreed it was time for them to aspire to a more chal- lenging level of English. 36 Academics Left: Established for the first time is the Special Education Department operated by Mrs. Patricia Martin, Mrs. Janz, Mrs. Robinson-chairperson, Mrs. Lawson, and Miss Ann Akers. Below Jeft: Band Director Tim Smith and Chorus Director Carolyn Mills take a break during a_ planning session. “It’s about time students’ spe- cial needs were met’, commented Mr. Edmunds. A_ Special Edu- cation Department was established with Miss Rhonda Robinson acting as chairperson. Some services offered by this addition were Title I Reading, Migrant Education, and Educable Mentally Retarded classes along with new offerings for those with learning disabili- ties and the emotionally dis- turbed. Through these programs teachers helped more students meet with a successful educational experience. Right: Mrs. Johelen Martin assists one of her students participating in the eighth and ninth grade reading program. The language arts department launched a program for improving reading skills of eight and ninth graders. Dr. Anne Marshall Bip- pus, Director of Reading, Lynch- burg College, and consultant for the program conducted preschool workshops. Mrs. Tolley, Mrs. Lobbregt, Mrs. Gerling, and Mrs. Johelen Martin acquired know- ledge about basic reading tech- niques. Eighth and ninth graders were tested to determine spelling and independent and instructional reading levels. Each participating teacher then divided her classes into groups to allow for individual differences. Students toiled over their respective assignments, based around the Young America Reading Program, and enjoyed a good learning experience. They all agreed it was about time they learned to read and write more effectively. A.P. And Reading Add Variety To Curriculum Academics 37 A coveted vocational class to those working part time while attending school was _ Industrial Cooperative Training. Open to juniors and seniors who wished to acquire jobs before graduation, students learned how to approach employers, fill out income tax forms, and perform job related activities. At Christmas I.C.T. built a float depicting the importance of vocational education which won second place. In the spring Mr. Edwards and Mr. Powell, directors of the program, informed students of job openings at stores and factories which cooperated with the program. “It’s about time we took this opportunity to get ahead of the game in the working world,” commented students. Above right: Pausing for a break between home economics classes are Mrs. Cocke and Mrs. Shelton. Middle right: Discussing typing classes after school are instructors Mrs. Wrenn, Mrs. Clark, and Mrs. Short. Right: Preparing to go to the gym to a practice session for the girls’ varsity basketball team is Mrs. Linda Smither who became our new athletic director this fall. A new course offering added to the physical education department curriculum was advanced p.e., an extension of the variety of classes offered to allow juniors and seniors to continue improving their athletic ability. Instructed by Mrs. Linda Smither, each student chose one skill in the sport of his choice which he wished to improve. Mrs. Smither helped each student in any way she possibly could, with his respective choices. One requirement for the course was to write a detailed report about the skill. All advanced p.e. students agreed, “It’s about time we got a new, more exciting p.e. program.” “Advanced p.e. is a very good class for juniors and seniors who want to keep in shape and learn basic sports’ skills,” commented Dennis Freeman. Becky Burgess said, “It’s a class I chose for my own benefit. Everything I do is indi- vidual.” 38 Academics dents are Mr. Hamlett and Mr. Slusher. Left: Discussing some new physical education activities for their classes are the new p.e. teachers, Mr. Vaden and Mr. Randolph. Below Left: Concentrating on the task before him, Mr. Stickley prepares the film projector for his driver education class. “It’s about time those sophomores earned their licenses,” said Mr. S tickley, driver education teacher and range instructor. Having pre- viously taught at Harrisonburg High School, he knew what to expect. Each student under 18 must have at least a D average and pass a week of training at the range under Mr. Stickley’s instruction. After com- pleting this, each student has to drive for twc hours on public roads. When he passed the session each stu- dent received a certificate saying he was eligible to take the state exam- ination when he reached sixteen. Of course a learner’s license, requiring only the classroom course, was ob- tained by many at age 15 and 8 months. Mr. Stickley informed us he enjoyed this class, not just because of the students but he also liked the extra money. “It’s a pretty good pro- gram and the county runs it well,” he commented.

During the school year selected members of the class represented A.H.S. at Model United Nations sessions held at the Univer- sity of Virginia and James Madison University. All United Nations stu- dents agreed, “It’s about time a new and enlightening history class was added to the curriculum.” Left: Writing an assignment on the board is Mrs. Hicks who teaches a studies classes such as World History and World Geography. variety of social The social studies department at- tempted to impart a love of the past, an interest in the future and a desire to participate in the day-to-day func- tioning of all levels of government. They felt that an interest in the sub- ject area was just as important as knowledge of facts and that partici- pation was synonomous with good citizenship. This was timely due to the fact that many students were able to vote and others were ap- proaching that age. Academics 41 Interests Get ‘Technical “It’s about time we started a new year of problem solving,” said ad- vanced math students who were ex- cited over the challenging prospects of beginning a new calculus class offered at the Vo-Tech center. This calculus class was offered specifically for college-bound students plan- ning to enter the field of engineering, science or math related fields that necessitate a good mathematics back- ground. The classes were small due to lack of knowledge about the subject offering. Hopefully interest will in- crease next fall. When asked about the class, Scott Steele commented, “T needed the training for college that we received through the prob- lems we worked and the lectures.” “Calculus was challenging; it will be useful to me in the future be- cause we did college work on a high school level,” said Mark Finch. Right: Attentively listening to a lecture in calculus are seniors Mark Finch, Lee Wood- ard, and Scott Steele. Above Right: After another busy day at the Vo-Tech Center, Scott Steele, Mark Finch, and Lee Woodard walk toward the school as the bus departs.

Right: Taking a break between math classes are Mr. Perkins and Mr. Horne who teach math lab and algebra, respectively. The Vo-Tech Center housed a new and exciting class geared for college-bound juniors and seniors. This class was physics, an advanced science course. Physics was taught to a few high school students on the college level. The response from those taking this course was good. All of them found physics to be challenging and good preparation for college. New lab equipment which excedes the quality of equipment offered by science labs added to the enjoyment of the class. Some of the learning activities which kept them busy were lectures, problem solving, labs and field trips. Students who took physic s also participated in the calculus class at the Vo-Tech Center. Some of the occupational fields for which experience in physics is essential are physical therapy, engineering, and science. The physics students commented, “It’s about time such a beneficial class as physics was taught with the necessary equipment for labs.” Left: Experimenting with electricity in physics is Lee Woodard. It was time for the science department metamorphosis. New desks, a fume hood, and cabinets equipped with gas, water, and electricity were installed. All science students had new texts. In the spring everything was moved into new science rooms for earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics. The science teachers commented, “It’s about time we received better equipment and facilities.” Above left: Experimenting with the difference in weight between a dry sponge and a wet sponge are Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Stott in one of the makeshift classrooms.

Academics 43 Vital Support Appreciated Every afternoon, after the dismissal bell, three key people cleaned up the mess we leave. They also did various jobs during the day which kept our school bright, shiny and a pleasure to return to. These special people were our custodians, Carleton Coles, Carolyn Dews, and Dorothy Coles. 44 Academics Two important daily services performed were preparation of lunches and trasnportation to and from school. The cafeteria staff headed by Mrs. Lorrice Greenway completed another year of suc- cessful meals. Headed by Mrs. Bernice Overstreet, bus drivers endured many obstacles such as bad weather, mischievous students, and tardy riders to get us here every day school was in session. “It’s about time we learned to appreciate their efforts.” Above: Posing beside a county bus are James Walton, Bernice Overstreet, Carolyn Payne, Bethune Austin, Helen Yuille, Teresa Burton, Christine Yeatts, Patsy Nichols, Phyllis Lambert, James Dennis, Grace Overstreet, Mary Hunt, Cindy Hogan, Mike Dalton, and Buford Coles.

However, they were not alone in their excitement as the eighth graders were certain it was about time for them to reach high school status. Of course the hoopla of entering a higher grade was not restricted to just the oldest and the youngest. The freshman class has sho wn their spirit by winning the pep ral- lies repeatedly. The sophomores and juniors have acquired many new freedoms to which they were not accustomed. Contained in both classes are those who were just getting drivers’ licenses. On the whole, the year started sensationally and _ progressively improved.

For at least two weeks we hardly knew where we were! We went through the pain and embarrassment of being late for classes because we were lost, and not knowing where to “hangout” in the halls! But after a while we got used to being ‘the: punks” and finally got into the swing of high school life! By the time our freshman year arrived we were “old pros” and no longer the “littlest in the crowd.” We were finally moving up! By the tenth grade, we started to really feel like somebody. We all got old enough to get our.

We got to order class rings, and make all the plans for the Junior-Senior Prom. We vowed, just as every class before us, that it would be the BEST prom ever! Sure it took a lot of hard work, and determination, but the special night was well worth it when we saw that our work was a success! And now, here we are ending our high school years. Big Seniors!

We always heard that our high school days would be our best and that we would wish we had them back. We didn’t believe them, but now that those days are over, we find ourselves wondering just how we could have wished those times away!

Two times that particularily stood out were the task of getting ready for prom and taking the trip to Washington in the fall of their senior year. Preparing for prom proved to be a big responsibility but the class successfully managed the job. Raising money by selling magazines and holding car washes on Saturday mornings were just a few of the long hours it required. Lots of time and effort went into decorating the gym for the big night; however, all the hard work seemed worthwhile when everyone had a good time the night of the dance. The trip to Washington with Mr. Boteler was another event they will never forget. Getting up so early on Saturday morning was a hard task for some, but everyone managed to get there on time. Ironically, the bus arrived late to pick them up delaying the start of the trip. Upon arrival in Washington they toured the National Cathedral, the Smithsonian Institute, and other interesting places. It was a very busy, long day which everyone enjoyed. Therefore the trip was another special memory for them to cherish.

If so, you probably found it to be quite a lot. They ordered class rings on September 28 and received them in January. Fifteen of them were inducted into the National Honor Society on October 25 and partici- pated in the various service projects the Society did. Many were engaged in extra-curricular activities such as Junior Achievement, SODA, prep- aration for prom, various club pro- jects, as well as all sports. About one-fourth took college board tests on October 24. They also attended several college presentations on fi- nancial aide and curriculum. The junior year is never boring, for juniors are busy all the time, pre- paring for their future or taking care of daily demands.

From this we found many in- teresting things about our class’ members. During the summer we were active in working and vacation- ing. About one-fourth worked, rang- ing from babysitting to office work. We vacationed from nearby lakes and pools to the beaches along the eastern coast. Many stayed in touch with the school by going to school- connected camps and workshops. Some of these included visiting the colleges of Hampden-Sydney and Ferrum. Several students from the annual staff traveled to Hampden- Sydney College for a workshop to learn more on the development of the yearbook. As you can see, our summer was a very fulfilled one, having experiences that will be very valuable to us in the years ahead.

To boost them along were sopho- more cheerleaders Linda Gill, Syl- via Anthony, Stacy Lowman, and Kay Nichols. All of these students made a significant contribution to their teams.

Overall 78.8 percent of the students taking both tests passed. Some of the students remarks when asked about the test were, “It was fairly easy, but I was nervous.” This was the first year that the test had been given and, as a whole, the sopho- mores did well.

The class of ’81 has successfully completed its third year of high school. As sophomores they have strived for bigger and better things such as getting drivers licenses, be- coming juniors and, best of all, not having to lug gym clothes to school. Sophomores were between biology and chemistry and juniors and fresh- man. They put forth their efforts through academics and _ athletics to show their sportsmanship and concern for others. The best two years are still facing them. Many major decisions and exciting times await them.

In their opinion what they liked best was the freedom of choice of classes. Some of their required courses were math, physical edu- cation, english, and science. Among their favorite electives were Alge- bra 1, French 1, Latin 1, Spanish 1, home economics, art, and in- dustrial arts. The clubs they joined were F.H.A., Latin Club, Industrial Arts, Hi-Y, and Jr. Tri-Hi-Y.

Eighth grade orientation night offered a chance for _ teachers, parents and students to get to know one another. It gave parents an opportunity to become acquaint- ed with school procedure, and a chance to learn of the course of- ferings and activities available to their children. They also learned of the many services available to them as parents. Each teacher explained the purpose of his course, grading procedures, methods of teaching, and student expectations. Mr. Dennis Riddle, principal of the Vocational Technical School ex- plained the offerings there. Mr. Holt explained the functions of the Guidance Department, and extended an invitation to parents to use guidance services, and urged them to encourage their children to do so. Mr. Arthur explained the promotion policy for eighth graders. Mr. Edmonds and Mr. Erb ex- plained the _ school suspension policy, disciplinary procedures, grading and competency tests. More parents attended this years’ orientation than last years’ and they seemed to be very receptive to the program. Following the presentation a reception was held by the Guidance Department which iar Toy “ provided a time to meet and talk ry PT informally with the parents. ddy Ottinger Janice Payne Hugo Peters Robert Queener Jimmy Rice vin Owen Kenneth Payne Frank Michelle Rader JoAnne Rice , Owen Lisa Payne Poindexter Trisha Ramsey Roger Rice orge Patricia Payne Greg Pope Darlene Reese Stewart Rice atterson Caroline Tony Preas George Lisa Roark ke Payne Peerman Greg Pribble Reynolds | | Pre-Freshmen 95 New Arrivals Show Great Potential The eighth graders seem to have adjusted very well to their new environment.

Young Team Shows Determination After losing 21 seniors, Head Coach Stickley had to rebuild his Colonel machine. He did this with the help of Coach Slusher and two new assistants - Donnie Vaden and Mike Goodman. There were many sophomores playing varsity football for the first time, but Coach Stickley commended them all for their ability to do extremely well in game situations. Chris Brum- field, Ricky Faulkner, and Char- les Hogue were relied upon heav- ily throughout the season for their outstanding performances, but it was the determination of the entire team that gave them their hungry wins.

Victory Seekers 103 With only two returning starters - Sharon Dagenhart and Karen Stephenson, new mentor Chip Perkins had many tough decisions to make to insure a good season for the Colonelettes. After the team was selected in August they began to prepare for their season. They worked hard in practice and were willing to put in extra time to improve skills. They were able to get in some preseason playing experience when they entered the Jefferson Forest Invitational ‘Tournament. Even though they didn’t advance in the tournament after losing to two well-developed teams-Jefferson For- est and Holy Cross, they were able to get some idea of where they needed to work. When their season began they were put up against tough com- petition, facing defeats from Liberty, Jefferson Forest, and Appomattox. But playing with vigor they roared back with three straight victories over Nelson Co., Amherst, and Brookville. Their winning streak was put to an end when they suffered defeats from Gretna and Rustburg. But they played an excellent match over William Campbell to finish their season on a winning note.

Thanks alot! 106 Victory Seekers After losing 2 of their first 3 games, the Colonels got into gear. Following eight straight victories, they faced Amherst a- gain. Each team had a winning streak on the line. The climax came January 10 when the Colonels pulled the upset of the year and avenged an earlier loss. January 16 the Nelson Governors came to A.H.S. for a rematch. Although the lead changed hands several times, the Colonels finally pulled away. They had avenged both earli- er losses, held their longest winning streak, and were the hottest team in the district. The Colonels started seniors Tracy Poindexter and Kelvin Monxoe, who were an offensive threat each time they took to the court, junior Ricky Faulkner, who was noted for his quickness and steals, junior Ed Barbee, known for his rebounding and great hustle, and sophomore Micah Moon, a strong leader. Seeded second for the tournament, the Colonels defeated Jefferson Forest and Nelson County to face Amherst for the crown. This hard fought battle ended 63- 61 when the Lancers sunk a jumper from the corner with three seconds left on the clock. Continuing to regionals the Colonels lost to William Byrd in the first round. Despite a disappointing ending, the team had an outstanding season. Three of the starting five received recognition. For the third consecutive year, Tracy Poindexter was selected All District and named “Play- er-Of-The-Year.”’Finishing his career with a total of 2,258 points. Poindexter also scored a school high of 51 points in a crushing 84-48 victory over Gretna. Faulk- ner a and Moon also received Honorable mention, Seminole District.

Despite a poor season the Colonels put forth their best effort at all times. By not having a J.V. team Coach Kenny Holt had to carry nineteen ballplayers, some with a limited amount of experience. Al- though the 1978 season didn‘t turn out very well, the Colonels ex- pected to start out with a better season having twelve lettermen re- turning, six in starting positions. With most valuable player Marty Brumfield and best hitter Keith Overstreet to lead the team effort, Coach Holt counted on quickness, pitching, and deception to enhance the Colonels.

Although the 1978 season for the Colonels didn’t turn out well, the Colonels gained three wins by de- feating William Campbell 11-6 and by beating arch rival Gretna both times by scores of 5-4 and 9-8. The Colonels’ first win was attributed to Scott Finch who got two base hits. The Colonels’ pitcher, Bill Varnadore, hurled a super game, giving up only eight base hits and five walks, and striking out twelve batters. For their second win of the season, the Colonels halted Gretna for the second time. Again, the winning pitcher was Bill Varna- dore, who replaced Kenny White and Scott Drumheller. The whole Colonel team had a great day with Charles Hogue, Tommy Newman, and Marty Brumfield giving the best batting effort. In the final — - ai ie MA game of the season, the Colonels rallied to defeat the William Camp- bell Generals 11-6. The winning pitcher was Reid Childress, who pitched the entire game. Childress got off to a bad start at the beginning of the season but finished superbly by upsetting the Generals.

Se, en ELSIE The boys’ tennis team finished in second place in the Seminole Dis- trict with a district record of 11-5 an an overall record of 15-5. The Colonels were led by Chris Brumfield, Scott Steele, and Rusty Hicks. Chris Brumfield and Scott Steele were the singles leaders; Steele having 12 wins, 4 losses; and Brum- field 14 wins, 2 losses. Dennis Mer- ricks and Ed Barbee led the double competition. With the loss of only two seniors the team should be outstanding next season. Coach Erb commented that two rising sophomores, Jeff Finch and Teddy Ferguson, should be a great help to our team. When asked who presented the g reatest challenge to the Colonel team, Erb replied Brookville. We lost to them three times. The closest game during the season was against Liberty in the semifinals. Coach Erb said there were no outstanding strengths or weaknesses of the team, and he was impressed with the team’s sports- manship and effort throughout the season. ee “6 Second Place Captured In District Ed and Robert clowning during practice. Batting-Errors Plague Softball Team The Colonelettes were in a slump the whole season. They had trouble with batting. They all knew how to play; but when game time arrived, they just couldn’t play softball. Costly mental errors, such as throw- ing the ball to first when there was a runner on third, plagued them. One bad inning defeated them in every game, when the opposing team scored a lot of runs. This threw them off for the rest of the game. Again, mental errors affected their ability to play. Their best performance was against Gretna. Ahead by two runs, Altavista became overconfident. Al- though Gretna won 9-6, the Colonel- ettes showed that they could play softball. Returning to next year’s team with a lot of talent and youth, the Colo- nelettes will be well equipped for the upcoming season.

The outstanding players lost only one match out of the season. The renowned players for the Colo- nelettes were Karen Stephenson and Ginny Hicks, with a district record of 4-4. Some of our future prospects are Donna Tyler, LeAnne William- son and Melanie Britt. Coach Hern said the team will not be hurt in the coming years because of the im- provements shown by them. She also said the greatest challenge the team had during the season was Brookville, who won the district championship. The team’s weakness showed at the beginning of season in the doubles matches which be- came their strongest asset. The best players in doubles were Karen Stephenson and Donna Tyler.

Bernard Layne finished the 1000 yard run in a time of 2:32 shaving 0.6 seconds from the pre- vious record held by former track star Bruce Merritt.

Out of a group of 13 players there were six top men: Mike Southern, Danks Burton, Chet Brockwell, James Gay, Greg Rus- sell, and Mike Hoover.

The seniors sadly, yet anxiously awaited gradua- tion. Some felt “it was about time,” while others wished time hadn’t passed so fast. The juniors were sitting back awaiting their chance at the top and each class looked anxiously ahead at what was awaiting them in the follow- ing year as far as privileges and new challenges. And then of course, there was that particular class that we anticipated the end of. We were told that we would get the hang of it but somehow we never did. In sports, the year was mostly a success. The foot- ball team improved over last year’s record and the volley- Above: Graduation marks a new beginning for the seniors. Whether it be college or a job, each decides his own future.

The basket- ball team did very well and won the top spot in the Heri- tage Christmas Tournament. The girls improved through- out the season despite a young team. Our school was well represented by the vari- ous teams and with con- stant support from the fans. As usual, the faculty did a splendid job of guiding us and helping us achieve our goals. New faculty members plus old ones with new posi- tions fit in from the _ be- ginning and all worked to- gether successfully. By combining all of the above, it’s easy to see why the year was such a success. Mrs. Smither. We readily accepted the changes and extended our con- gratulations to Mrs. Smither.

We Were Recognized Closing 159 et ale ell The end of school brought about many sad faces and goodbyes. We had all had experiences and_ learned from mistakes that we’d made, and each of us left with personal memories and souvenirs from the year. Another chapter could be added to our scrapbooks, and years from now we would look back on those pictures of our best friends, the napkin from homecoming and the various newspaper clippings. We would never forget all those times we rushed to the “Freeze” after the games, regardless of whether we won or lost. And what about the day Altavista finally got a Pizza Hut. It soon became a favorite ‘after game’ place. During the year, our school underwent many It’s About Time We Looked Ahead changes. When school closed, construction was not close to being finished. During the year we had used some of the new facili- ties, and the future promised even more. We, the students had also changed. Another year had passed despite the fact that we wished it hadn’t. Time seemed to have a way of continuing when we wanted it to stand still, if only for a moment, and we too often wished our time away. Time had flown, and the year was over. The immediate future meant college for some, a job, or still for some, another year at A.H.S. But then, what? None of us_ knew, and all we could do was prepare ourselves for what we thought lay ahead. @) Above: Front view of the school, in the new gymnasium. Right: : as of January 1979.
