In adci- tion to the usual meals served, another type of lunch tray was offered. The new “B line gave students the option of buying a lunch consisting of a hamburger or hotdog, a vegerable, a piece of fruit, and a carton of milk instead of the regu- lar menu. The “B lunch was a wel- comed and refreshing change because it was more like the meals enjoyed at fast food establishments. During breaks, srudents were able to purchase fruit, milk and other nutritional items in the cafeteria. The candy which used to be sold ar breaks was replaced by these items to alleviate the mess caused by candy wrappers and cans and to provide students with a more nutritional snack. Standing in the famed 'B ’ line are Shelia Fox, Billy Barbour, Albert Rowland, Twana Hubbard, La- zonia Myers, Greg Pope Relaxing in the new lounge area of the library are Bertha Thornhill and Chauncey Clarke. Comfortable, Private, Stimulating Atmosphere Promotes Library For many students the library added a new dimension fo life ar A.H.S. The new library, which was built the size of the old gym, offered many new, appeaiing fea- tures for students’ research and study. Larger facilities provided the space need- ed to expand the original supply of read- ing, reference, and educational mareri- als. The extra space also allowed rhe necessary private desk ‘‘cubicles’’ to be- come a reality. Convenient study tables of bright yellow and blue were scattered around for convenient study. A new card catalogue and checkour station made finding and acquiring books easier. A lounge area near the “‘current’’ mag- azine rack was a nice place to relax and catch up on the latest ’scoops’” in print. Conference rooms invited students to participate in more group activities in a relaxed atmosphere without disturbing anyone. Mrs. DeJarnette, the librarian, was always nearby fo assist anyone in finding what they n eeded. Needless to say the library was a big hit with the student body. Students return to cars afer classes have ended. Cars driven by students required an A.HS. sticker and registration in the office. A New Dimension - Parking A long awaited luxury was a student parking lor. Although not an earth shat- tering change, after parking along Bed- ford Avenue for two years it was wel- comed. Space was made for faculty at rear of school building, and students in- herited convenient, spacious, “‘refin- ished” faculty lor to students’ delighr. A Building For a Brighter Future Familiar faces of workers gradually disappeared. Afrer two years of con- struction, the new high school wing, gym, library, auditorium, music depart- ment and other improvements finally came together to form a spacious, ber- ter equipped high school and middle school. The mud, mess, buzzing, and banging endured for rwo years of ren- ovation and construction produced a school of which all students were proud. Bright colored furniture and carpeting Workmen complete insrallarion of uriliry ourler in rhe new wing mace the library, classrooms, and teach- ers’ lounges more aftractive and com- forrable. Teachers enjoyed workrooms which accomodated each department individually. Over four million dollars in materials, construction costs, and furnish- ings formed a first rate school building. After a wait of more than ten years, the community finally received an educa- tional complex with modern equipment to prepare its yourh for the decade of the 80's and beyond. Congestion Curbed By New Rear Bus Stop Along with other changes, the bus loading area was moved. Instead of boarding buses in front of the school, bus riders were directed to the back entrance of the high school wing. This re - routed bus traffic and alleviated some congestion. Students did nor mind the change.

Accustomed to the old fashioned, gray lockers, students found the bright yellow, modern lock- ers an appealing new dimension. The school supplied each locker with a sturdy Masrer combination lock and instructions on how to use them. As many students found our, if they didn't use the lock, some things mys- Reaching into rhe top compartment of his locl- er is Barry Jenkins. The new lockers are divided into two parts.

Hap- pily, after several visits of the sneaky locker snoop, students dutifully used their locks. One common complaint made abour the new lockers was space. The lockers were situated so close together thar students found them- selves shoulder to shoulder and el- bow to elbow berween classes when they tried to get into their lockers. However, the shiny new lockers and the togetherness were greatly appre- ciared and enjoyed. NEW DIMENSIONS = Taking A Giant Step Forward The two biggest stories of the year were the end fo construction on the new buildings and the opening of the middle school. The seventh graders were transferred from the elementary school fo join the eighth graders in the renovated area of the old high school ro form a middle school Teachers were shifted from the elementary and high schools for the faculty. Gradually both teachers and students became used to Returning from a break are Willie Seamster, Mr. Arthur, Michelle Woodruff, Mr. Frazier, Mrs. Gold- smith, and Marilyn Gares , an atmosphere more closely resembling high school. The middle school operated on its own bell schedule which began af 8:30. It employed Mr. Charles Arthur as its assistant princi pal and Mrs: Kay Hinson as guidance counselor. Middle school stu- dents enjoyed breaks, lockers, pep ral- lies, and seven 50 minute classes as their new experiences. The middle school has added a new dimension to the orginal population of AHS. Concentrating on some bookwork is Kim Arthur Books And Energy Promote Brains New buildings weren't the only additions made ar AHS. The curriculum changed in many ways. Courses were conducted on the semester and year - long systems in- stead of the quarter system which had been adopted several years ago. Students were required to take at leasr five subjects each day. Courses which had previously been offered only at Vo - Tech Center or been dropped from the curriculum sprang into being. Turning a face plare on a wood engine lathe, Charles Williarnson completes a industrial arts pro- ject. Practical Courses Gain Interest The Vo - Tech Center continued to provide students with practical training in such fields as auto - mechanics and child- care. This training prepared students for future study and apprenticeships. Ir also opened a way fo try a vocational job for students who were unsure of the kind of work they wished to pursue. Student interest grew for the programs offered by the Vo - Tech Center and the voca- tional courses at school. Some of the vocational courses included in the regular curriculum were typing, general busi- ness, home economics, and industrial arts. Middle school students were al- lowed to choose industrial arts as an elective for 7th period. ICT expanded the students’ knowledge of the working world by allowing them to obrain a job and get first hand experience with credit towards graduation. Area businesses and industries employed ICT students in jobs which often expanded into summer and provided income needed by stu- dents to pay for further training and schooling in their chosen field. Clubs and Sports Accent Routine Extracurricular activities formed an- other dimension of students’ lives. These activities ranged from school clubs, school sports, and special hap- penings fo church and community or- ganizations and sports. School activi- ties were sponsored by teachers and community activities by area adults. Several clubs contributed their time and money toward community pro- jects such as trash pick - ups and col lecting canned goods for needy fam- ilies. Sporting contests remained a ma- jor attraction for students and the par- ticipants appreciated the new athletic facilities. Of course other organiza- tions, outside of school, continued to involve students actively in projects such as building a float to enter in the Christmas parade. Also YMCA related sports remained popular with active programs in swimming, baskerball, soccer, baseball, and foorball.

Opening 5 Speakers Offer New Perspective Educarional sources were available in many forms. The most enlightening and enjoyable were speakers who presented programs on their special- ties. Invited by clubs and classes, they shared slide presentations, exhibits, demonstrations, and question and an- swer sessions. Such notables as srare representative Joe Crouch and Con- gressman Dan Daniels addressed sen- ior classes on current issues. These live sources provided students with a new dimension in learning.

With new facilities, the annual events, along with the new happenings, have been more exciting than ever. The new audi- torium, although finished after school had start- ed was the scene of several special occasions such as the National Honor Society's annual induction ceremony and the FHA Fall Rally. The new library became a favorite place for stu- dents to study and meet their friends and the conference rooms made group projects easier to accomplish. Along with the high school’s facilities, new teachers and students moved into the old build- ing to form a middle school. With the middle school came a teacher, Mrs. Thompson who livened up our student life. These dimensions brightened student life.

Developing themes, menus, and skits and sometimes acquiring quest speakers required careful planning. The lar- gest group involved was the Furure Home- makers of America which held its annual Parent-Daughrer banquet. In addition to earing plenty of good food, a quest speal- er, the Reverend Worley talked to the group abour parent- child relationships. Customs prevailed at Language Club fes- tivities.

They also sampled pastries and cheese in class. These organizations enjoyed strong memberships because of these and orher activities. Below right: The Rev.

The biggest reason for this change was new band director, David Price. Mr. Price, a graduate of Greensboro College and a native of Sanford, N.C., brought spirit and enthusiasm to the band. The band attended parades in Altavista, Bedford, and Brookneal during the Christ- mas holiday and placed in each. In order to buy New uniforms next year, the band sold 2,000 hoagies and made $1,400.

SODA, Students Organized for Devel- oping Attitudes, required ar leasr thirty hours of training from participating mem- bers. Conducted at Lynchburg General Hospital's Nurses’ Residence, the sessions showed SODA members how to help 6th graders develop sound attitudes to- ward drugs and to regard themselves and their peers. The eleven members went to the Altavista Elementary School once a week for 16 weeks where they provided filmstrips, read stories, played games, and had discussions with the youngsters to carry out SODA's objec- tives.

The Council is essential to the vocarional program as they advise and assist the facul- ty while helping to place students in jobs. The combined efforts of the Advisory Council, faculty, and students made Voca- tional Education Week a week to be re- membered as it showed just how important yet how much fun vocational training could be.

Students Honored For Leadership And Service How many points do you have? In lare spring every student counted his points for an achievement monogram, sponsored by the SCA. A tradition of long standing, this monogram was awarded ro students on a point basis derermined by the SCA. These points were earned for participation and leadership in aca- demics, music, perfect atrendance, school contests, and clubs. A circular monogram with an “A” was the initial award with an emblem added for each additional year.

While many students trod the traditional path, there were new dimen- sions for many students’ academic life in the form of different courses. For the first time in several years courses like physics, calculus, and Advanced Biology were offered at the high school instead of the Vo-Tech center. The new administration supported opportunities for special activi- ties like the Campbell Counry class field trips, visits from legislatures, and reading Classes to strengthen skills. Orner domi- nant changes included the additional staff required to teach in the middle school. A new building sparkling with new equioment and, in some classes, new textbooks greeted everyone when school opened in September. Fresh paint, a locker for each student com- plete with his own combination lock, new desks, floors sparkling from wax, a library the size of the old gym complete with orange carpet and glassed confer- ence rooms, new science labs, modern business machines and new department workrooms for teachers made this a ter- rific year for learning and teaching. Teachers and students alike were proud of the new surroundings which gave ev- eryone a renewed prospective on edu- carion.

Mr. Erb has been at AHS since 1972. He has been a p.e. teacher, athletic director, baskerball and tennis coach, as well as be- ing assistant principal 78 - 79. Prior to coming to AHS, he was a teacher and coach at Harrisonburg. Mr. Erb is an avid sports fan. He also enjoys woodworking, metalworking, and gardening.

Now if | could figure a way fo give my usual Friday quizzes, everything would be fine!”’ As assistant principal, Mr. Arthur han- dled 7th and 8rh grade discipline. He was responsible for textbooks and lockers as well as rhe intramural program In his spare time Mr. Arthur enjoys coin collecting, sports, music, and ralking care of his famous garden of rocks, weeds, pork and beans, and popcorn Mr. Odom, the new assistant principal of the high school, was formerly an industrial arts reacher at Linkhorne Middle School in Lynchburg. His emphasis has changed from metalworking to 9th - 12th grade discipline and student activities. Outside of school, Mr. Odom’'s inreresrs lie in tennis, baslkerball, karare, jogging, Pho tography, and jewelry making. He is presi dent of the Aggie Club as well as a member of the Va. Association of Secondary School Principals, NEA VEGA CCEA, and the Court Sr. Baprist Church Impressed by AHS, Mr. Odom had this fo say: “As assistant principal, | am very ex- cited about my job, as it is allowing me the opportunity to explore new avenues of education thar otherwise would nor have come about as a teacher. | feel thar the school faciliries, students, sraff, and commvu- niry at Alravista are truly grear.

English Below: Shirley Sexton and Larry Pillow complete an excerise in Mrs. Gerling’s 8th grade English class stories, where students worlked on how fo interpret literature. The most interesting class periods were spent discussing and often debating major issues. Students had the opportunity ar the end of the year to take an exam which could possibly exempt them from freshman English at college. English is the only class students have to take every year beginning in middle school. The teachers, each in his own way, have done their best to make these years enjoyable. Canrerbury Tales have always b een a highlight in English literature. The English {2 students enjoyed making up and act- ing our skits based on the differenr char- acters. They also were fascinated to learn the lifestyles and habits of the Eng- lish kings and writers. English 11 is a study of American litera- ture. Incorporated into this study was learning abour grammar, writing boolss reports, and reading. Sophomores worked on writing and making effective speeches while the freshmen worked on perfecting their grammar. Middle school students were required to take two Englishes. One class was devoted to reading while the other was a course in creative writing.

Mr. Heffelfinger raught 10 in- terested students abour rhe basic laws of motion, electricity, and astronomy through experiments and classroom lec- tures. After skipping a year, Advanced Biology was once again raught at A.H.S. The class started off with a study of ecol- ogy which involved setting up and ob- serving ‘‘ecosystem plors’’ ourdoors. Then came the exciting (and somertines sickening) task of dissecting sharks. Another lab science, chemistry, was a year of labor to come, buf students were surprised ar how much they had learned and realized the hours of study really paid off.

Upperclass- men were extremely excited to have cal- culus added to the schedule. This meant thar students could study this advanced math withour having to go to the Vo - Tech Center. The ones in calculus found the new computer to be a great help in working with functions. IN trigonometry and functions, the first level of college math, students studied right triangles, identities, word problems and touched on the basics for calculus. Many students were enrolled in Algebra | and Il, and geometry, a must for the college bound. Here students learned the basics they would need for higher math. baw é Mrs. Bradbury and Miss Weinert came up with fun projects for their art classes The biggest project for the Art Il students was making life-size figures of the faculty which were kept well-hidden until a fac- ulty meeting when they were arranged in the .library. The students enjoyed watching the teachers’ expressions when they saw “themselves.” Orher ac- tivities included making and selling Chrisr- mas wrapping paper, making dough or- naments, and taking a trip to Washing- royal. IBC. Art | classes made collages, studied cubism, and made Christmas ornaments from dough and felr. Middle schoolers rook art for one se- mester. During this time they worked on lettering, jungle pictures, and Christmas projects. The annual Christmas Door conresr, sponsored by the art departmenr, had to be cancelled because of vandalism.

The students got involved in such things as Vocational Education Week and, in the spring, an employee - employer banquet where employers were recognized for em- ploying the students. The classes worked together fo prepare a float for the Christmas parade. Also, in the Christmas spirit, the home economics classes had a Christmas tea and sold wrapping pa- per. Students interested in more specialized classes enrolled in courses at the Vo - Tech center. Through these classes and on - the - job training students were prepared for the world of work.

The high school moved into a new building leav- ing the old building for the 7th and 8th graders. The change had been long in com- ing, but everyone agreed it was a change for the better. Along with the new crop of students came several new teachers and members of the administration. One of the new additions was Mr. Winston Odom, as- sistant principal of the high school. Along with the new set-up came changes within the school. Assistant principal John Erb moved to the principal's chair while science teacher, Mr. Bennie Arthur, was promoted as assistant principal of the middle school. Also added in the middle school was a new member for the guidance department jusr to work with 7th and 8th graders, Mrs. Kay Hinson. Altogether these new develop- ments enriched many students’ lives.

Being the first graduating class of the dec- ade, the class of ‘80 will face many respon- sibiliries and tasks demanding success. The world situation is forever challenging and changing; therefore, solutions to the endless problems will need leadership. Those eigh- teen and registered to vore will have a responsibiliry in1980 ro help decide who the next President will be. Our of the class 41% have decided upon careers while 59% will seek more educa- tion. Some will become important business and community leaders. Orhers will minister to the aged and ill. Perhaps through re- search one will find a cure to a dreaded disease such as cancer. There are those who will become teachers. With inflation, international unrest, and changing lifesryles, no one knows whar the ’80’s will bring.

The offi- cers together with Mrs. Hicks, junior class sponsor, pur forth a lor of effort in choos- ing and supervising projects such as sell- ing doughnuts, magazines, and orange and white stocking hats with Colonels written on them. The juniors showed each enthusiasm and worked diligently so that they could provide the seniors with a terrific prom. During the month of November the officers and several representatives from the class attended a concert given by Hit Attractions at the Roanoke Civic Center to choose a band. A unique group, Sky- jack, was chosen because of its use of brass along with the traditional rock sounds. Junior Class officers: Mike Hoover - president, Jeff Finch - treasurer, Kay Nichols - secrerary, and Kyle Goldsmith - vice - president.

Not only does getting a letter take a lot of time and effort, bur it signifies being good enough to play offen. Once an athlete gets a letrer he then has the privilege of ordering a varsity jacket. The orange jacket which sports a big A is worn with pride. Emblems representing each sport in which the athlete letrered are then pinned on the A. A varsity lerrer is a coveted possession eyed by all aspiring athletes.

After instructions from. teachers on the ‘do's’ and “‘don'ts’’ of address- ing a group, the students presenred speeches on their per peeves, personal experiences, presenting awards, intro- ducing speakers, “how to do’ some- thing, and their speaker's choice topic. These speakers entertained their class- mates with a variety of topics from ex- plaining the art of self - defense, telling of travel in Europe, and pretending to intro- duce such notables as Wilf Chamberlain and Bob Griese to showing how to wear and care for contact lens.

Mrs. Eyler, new cafeteria manager, worked hard to develop a much better lunch. Also the expansion of the cafeteria to accomodate the middle school was a great asset. An additional plus came when Mr. Erb decided to let us ‘jam’ during lunch breaks. Smiles were once again on students faces as they left the cafeteria after a relaxing lunch.

While they had taken difficult subjects before, biology pre- sented their first challenge. They had to take extensive notes, watch de- tailed films, and do tedious labs. Tests were considerable harder because of the amount of material to be remem- bered. A highlight of the class as well as an anrival excusion was the trip to Wash- ington, D.C. where the biology stu- dents visited the Smithsonian. Com- bined with math and foreign lan- guage, English, physical education, and biology, the freshman year was Q struggle at first, but with the help of teachers the class of ‘83 finished the year with high spirits knowing they had done a job well.

They worked on creative needle work; clothing projects ranging from sim- ple skirts to tailor - made jackets; food preparation from cooking turkeys to cake decorating; table manners, ap- pointments, and service; and flower ar- ranging. They were concerned with en- ergy and early teenage parenthood. They did simulations in home, furniture, and accessory buying.

They sang Mexican and Spanish folk, country, and modern songs (which they especially liked) as a part of their study of the culture and civilization of the Spanish speaking people. All of these students participated in Language Day in March where they sang their Spanish songs to other language students and enjoyed an international dinner. Although Spanish wasn't all fun and games, even gram- mar drills and dialogue were enhanced with competition for points. Lisa Adams, Karen Corhran, and Par Owen stand and sing Spanish songs. They are just a few of the many ninth graders raking Spanish. Freshmen 93 From Labs To Paperwork Known to most students as a science teacher with a terrific sense of humor, Mr. Arthur walked the halls in a new capacity in September. As assistant principal in charge of the middie school students, he was re- spected and looked up fo by all. In an interview with yearbook staff editors, Mr. Arthur recalled he taught in the classroom for 11 years and enjoyed it very much. He was uncertain whether he liked being assis- tant principal better than a science teacher because he was too new fo the job fo tell. “Both positions have their enjoyable mo- ments,’ he said. One of the things new to Mr. Arthur was working with 7th graders, who are quite different from 8th graders.

He felt the middle school was badly needed with its counselor to work with students of this age. He added thar the middle school was com- posed of 285 students and 12 teachers who had a productive year. The yearbook staff knew Mr. Arthur stayed on his toes because every time they tried to get an interview he was busy in his office with a student, walking the halls mak- ing sure everyone was in class, or in the lunchroom watching over the students to keep them in line. Being assistant principal in charge of the middle school was a big job. Mark Gregory and Mark Boley enjoy Woodworking |, as most eighth graders do.

When asked their opinion of the middle school, Chris Lukin and Ross Oli- ver expressed enthusiasm for the breaks, something they didn't have in elementary school. The 8th graders also liked taking some classes wth the high school students. Among their choices were home econom- ics, industrial arts, creative writing, art, for- eign languages, and band. Joe Andrews, Lisa Reaves, and Kenda Jacobs didn't like middle school, because they wanted to have more association with the high school. Even at lunch they com- mented, they couldn't ear with the high school students. They felr thar they were being cut off from the rest of school.

Group guidance activities under the supervision of Mrs. Hinson, the middle school guidance counselor, were de- veloped around topics such as listening skills, careers, and self - development. They also had class discussion, games, and other relar- ed activities in group guidance. Starting in November the teachers picked an 8th grade “Student of the Month. ’ This student had to make passing grades, but not necessarily straight A’s, display good citizenship, respect and cooperate with teachers and other students, show best ef- fort in the classroom, show school spirit, and be involved in activities ourside school.

The seventh graders were now eligible to participate in j.v. sports and cheerleading, pep rallies and assembles. Every nine weeks the seventh graders rotated with the high school in classes such as art, music, industrial arts, and home eco- nomics unless they took band which was a full year course. Also the seventh graders now had a bigger variety of resources for learning than in elementary school, such as the library which the seventh graders visited every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The library played a big part in the middle school orientation.

The new gym has enriched all programs by offering athletes a new weight room fo worl our in and a larger and better equiped gym as well as new locker rooms. Coach Dennis Toney has led the football ream to a successful season, highlighted by the whitewashing of Gretna, 31-0. The Colonels have been better prepared for playing ball. The track team has an exceptional season winning District, Regional, and Srate honors. Tracy Poindexter, a state record holder, placed first in both the long and triple jumps while the ream ranked fifth. Al Smith re- ceived the District Coach-of-the-year Award for his hard work in shaping the track ream into winners. Tennis star, Karen Stephenson, placed fourth in the state and doubles ream, Scott Sreele and Chris Brumfield, placed second.

Juniors looked to the next year which offered them top rung on the ladder. Middle schoolers an- ticipated either joining the ranks of high school students or taking their Own au- thority in the middle school. Teachers’ thoughts were geared to the new crop of students advancing on them. Seniors were excired abour atrending college or entering the working world.
