CURDS Good Lech Ont Kare ee fou wert 9eerr Gat Alans ' é Cruising: Teenage Ritual For Exploring Litre As summer progressed, June faded into July and July into August, and we knew what that meant. It was time to clean the ole buses, gas them up, and roll them out. Time to forget all the pleasures of summer and drive toward the beginning of another year. Lots of changes greeted us. For many students these changes represented a whole new road to follow. Being a sen- ior did not provide the smooth sailing it always had. Seniors were not allowed to leave for lunch, were required to take a minimum of five classes, and could not double in English-a bumpy road for some to follow!

Students, teachers, and prominent citi- zens of Altavista attended. The new school was dedicated to the students of the Altavista area. Opening 3 Take The Bumps Along With The Smooth Another change involved the club schedule. Clubs were held before or after school due to their interference with classes. Juniors were nearing the end of the road but the SRA and PSAT testing was quite a curve! But altogeth- er the year got off to a good start. Our first big event was Homecoming. The Colonels threw a monkey-wrench into Buckingham’s defense. The dance on the following Saturday night was a big hit! As October sped into November and November to December students were busy working on projects: the annual Haunted House for Halloween, litter pick-ups, political compaigns, and var- ious dances. Arriving to school by bus is Sherry Hedrick and Stephenie Boaze. About 70% of the students ride buses. Speaking to the Spanish and history classes is Rev. Elvio Canavesio of Costa Rica. Invited by Kirk Irby, Rev. Canavesio told about life in His- panic countries and his many travels. Using the pay phone during break is Kathy Vaughn. Students are required to use pay phone for personal calls instead of jamming the office phone. 4 Opening Adjusting the position of David Brockwell’s head is a National School Studio’s photographer. School pictures are taken every fall and traded among friends. A copy is also supplied for the yearbook. “Come on. Give me some money,” insists Delene Cox of Lisa Bullington. This was the plea heard throughout football season as cheerleaders helped in the drive to fight Multiple Sclerosis. Opening S5 Cruisin’ Gets In High Gear Christmas seemed a long way off, but it really wasn’t. The ICT classes got an early start on a Christmas parade float. Throughout this the cheerleaders con- ducted an all-out drive to collect money for multiple sclerosis. The junior class After a cruise around town Teresa Burgess parks her car at the Dairy Freeze to speak to some friends. This is a favorite Colonel pasttime. The famous television car of Bo and Luke Duke of the “Dukes of Hazzard” is shown at the Staun- ton Plaza this past summer. College, something juniors and seniors antici- pate, was the topic of discussion on September 29. Representatives from surrounding colleges came to E.C. Glass to answer questions and sell their schools. Jeff Finch, Cheryl Childress, and Johnna Fariss listen with interest to remarks about V.P.I. S.U. 6 Opening tried anxiously to raise money for Prom by selling flowers, magazine subscrip- tions, and Christmas balls. Homework mixed with extra- curricular activities made for a packed year. STUDENT LIFE Students combined bumps with smooth roads and bitter with sweet for an action packed year. Remember the time your stomach growled louder than the teacher’s lecture? After class you ran to the lunchroom only to find you had no money. How about the time when you didn’t take your gym clothes home and Monday everything was mil- dewed? Or what about the field trip you looked forward to for so long and you forgot the permission slip? But there were good times too. Such as after find- ing you had no money you saw FRIEND, a friend who always had money. Lunch was good that day. And on the day of the big test you didn’t study for and crammed during break -and lunch, you got to class to find a substitute who announced the test was postponed! Yes, it was a pretty good year. Working on the election banner are Kyle Gold- smith, Kay Nichols, and Cindy Burch.

Student Life 7 Travel, Fund Raising, And Banquets Change Daily Pace Student activities covered a wide range of events. Highlighting the fall agenda was initiation by clubs, football, field trips to Rustburg and Roanoke, homecoming, the SCA dance, and mon- ey raising projects. The SCA carried out student suggestions with music in the cafeteria and a safety contest. Stu- dents were busy on band trips and sell- ing cheese, sausage, fruit, and glasses. The junior class sold Christmas balls to raise money for the prom. The F.B.L.A. club sold Christmas candles for the NUNTIUS staff members Bambie Lukin and Rose Snyder enjoy a break after their perfor- mance with other NUNTIUS staff members giving to the student body. 8 Student Life club’s trip to Busch Gardens. Also, stu- dents kept themselves busy with ban- quets-mother-daughter, VICA, Bosses’ night, All Sports Banquet, seventh grade “teas”, and the Band Boosters’ covered dish Christmas supper. These activities resulted in meeting new peo- ple, getting to know familiar faces bet- ter, sharing the happy thoughts of one’s friendship. And one big reason was to enjoy the experience of doing some- thing well. Cheering the “dribbling” Colonels, a packed house awaits a victory. Spencer Brown labors over Latin assignment for Miss. Rowe. Oh! those weekly translations. Taking a short break, students Cathy Over- street, Lisa Mueller, Cathy Gillis, Stan West, Bambie Lukin, and Crystal Moorefield laugh at Stan’s Joke. (top) During the Vocational Education assembly, Bob Layne makes an appearance before ar- ranging a date with Santa. Twyla Howell as Miss. Cartwright serves as Santa’s secretary. Comparing notes on the latest gossip, Sherry He- drick listens to Beth Rheault’s side of the story. Student Life 9 From Blanks To Hicks Requires Change Of Gears Those fortunate eleventh graders who had Mrs. Ora Blanks for English 11 were dazzled at how she conducted her class. Mrs. Blanks felt at ease with her classes everyday. She told jokes and fooled around, but when she got down to business almost everyone paid atten- tion. Mrs. Nancy Hicks was another story. She was strictly serious and didn’t to- lorate any funny business. She had her students give weekly current events, and that was the time students clowned around. Along with classes, students partici- pated in a variety of activities. Among these was one to introduce the 1980-81 yearbook. Students who participated 10 Student Life had to dress up for that day. Cathy Payne, a yearbook staff member, re- ceived first place in the Western Day contest. The yearbook also had a Tee- shirt and Famous Person Day. Trying to win and get ahead was the goal for all students. Tarek Farmer and Ashby Robinson are preparing them- selves for the future by taking home economics. They learned how to keep house, sew, cook, and manage their money. They did these things well and proved that men have a need for home economics also. Winning first place in the Western day contest is Cathy Payne, dressed as an Indian girl with her papoose on her back.

I want to play baseball.” “Gosh I’m having a tough time doing homework. I work twenty hours a week.” Keeping a good balance brought stress home to stu- dents. The excitement of another year and the anticipation of class rings, homecoming, Valentine’s dance, exams, and prom kept the days rolling by at a much-too-rapid pace. When _ sopho- mores gained their drivers licenses, the desire to be on the move was even more urgent. Awards day and sports’ banquet, class night and finally graduation marked the close of another year. The anticipation of September quickly faded into the memories of June. 12 Student Life Checking out and comparing their appearance for a job interview are Delene Cox and Crystal Boley at the business assembly. , e gens me ay Vaucet bo Demonstrating mask for Haunted House is Andy Saivgers, member of Jaycees who origi- nated project.

Student Life 13 Juniors Rise To Challenge 14 Prom “One of the best jobs I’ve seen done in such a short period of time” was Mr. Erb’s comment on the ef- forts of the junior class for Prom. Starting out a $100 in the hole, they managed to raise almost $1500 thanks to the superb efforts put forth by the class officers Mike Hoover, president; Kay Nichols, secretary; and Jeff Finch, treasurer. Some of the class’s money raising projects in- cluded selling magazines, doughnuts, flowers and Colonel stocking caps. What moment will each student remember after everyone goes home and the decorations come down? Maybe it will be that slow dance with that someone special. The 80’s are here and the “anything goes” style of dancing goes on. Donald Layne and Vicki Moore worked on dancing the night away. A last stop with the gang before rolling on to something new? Whether celebrating their graduation or their promotion to the senior class, all seem ready to ham it up for Mr. Funderburk. Front row: Mike Frazier, Stacy Dillard, Twyla Howell, Gary Mattox, Wanda Keatts, Robin Mattox, and Ray Tucker. Back row: Kathy Ritzer, Harvey Smith, Stacy Wil- son, Renee Walker, Keith Hicks, Courtney Hawkins, and Russ Simpson. All planning and hard work came to its summit on the night of May 3rd. With the gym flaunting its deco- rations of blue and white and the bank “Sky Jack” beating out a disco rock, the juniors and seniors danced the night away. Hopefully, as their theme suggested, the night would be remembered “Always and Forever”’. Even the most sophisticated social won’t keep Dwayne Marshall from clowning around as he models “neon light” sunglasses borrowed from Mr. Funderburk. His date, Donna Aikeds, and friends, Eddie Cox and date, Melody Dalton, and David Moore looked on. Providing disco, rock, and even some slow music “Sky Jack” was the entertainment for the night. Students take a moment to hold each other close during a slow dance. Prom 15 Toney Takes Over A.D. Dist. Champs Spotlighted Athletes, coaches, parents, and boosters gathered for the All Sports Banquet at the National Guard Ar- mory on May 28, 1980. This annual recognition banquet was emced by Mr. Chester Brockwell. Athletic Director, Linda Smither, welcomed guests. Mr. Harold Drumheller gave the invoca- tion. Following the buffet dinner, coaches presented awards. Highlighting the nights’ activities was the recogni- tion of a regional championship-girls’ tennis, and two district championship teams: girls’ tennis and golf. After the awards, Mrs. Smither an- nounced she was resigning as athletic director and head football coach Den- nis Toney would take the position. Receiving the top honor of the night, the R.J. Edwards award, were Scott Finch, football; Micah Moon, boys’ basketball; and Lisa Cook, girls’ bas- ketball. R.J. Edwards winner Micah Moon receives his award (for boys’ basketball) from Coach Ed Fra- zier. Master of Ceremonies, Chester Brockwell, applaudes as he looks on. Volleyball coach Chip Perkins awards Becky District golf medalist Danks Burton accepts Burgess trophy for Most Valuable Player for the trophy from Coach Jerry Rice. The team, be- season. hind his efforts, won the district by one stroke. 16 Sports Banquet 4 The Kelly E. Smither award is given to Debbie Osborne by softball coach Susan Callis.

Sports Banquet 17 The gym buzzed as classes filed in for the annual awards assembly. Who would be recognized for outstanding leadership and service in academics, music, school contests, perfect atten- dance, and clubs? Points had been filed with SCA president Ran Coleman. Now those fortunate students who met requirements would receive either their monogram “A’’s or an emblem to add to the monogram. A total of ninety-four people were recognized.

Then on November 12, house lights dimmed as National Honor Society members led thirteen inductees solemn- ly down the aisle of the auditorium. Un- der the direction of Mrs. Virginia Clark the society held its annual induction. Lighting candles symbolic of leader- ship, service, character, and scholarship were Deborah Sandler, Sylvia Anthony, Kay Nichols, and Donna Tyler who re- minded inductees of criteria used for their selection. President Jeff Finch and Principal John Erb congratulated inductees, and Johnna Farris sang “Everything.” A re- ception in the cafeteria allowed parents and friends an opportunity to congratu- late inductees. After seven months of continuous work, the news- paper staff finally organized the “Orange Ex- press.” Greg Pribble, and Kevin Owen received awards for their diligent effort to give AHS it’s first newspaper in more than a decade.

National Honor Society 19 Victory Excites Fans Eight years without a win for home- coming! It was a long wait but the Colo- nels defeated the Buckingham Knights on Friday, October 10. During half- time the band presented a colorful show. Then the flag corps formed a double aisle and escorted the homecom- ing attendants to receive their crowns. King Micah Moon gave Queen Sylvia Anthony the traditional kiss. The dance on the following night was well attended. The cheerleaders with help from many students decorated the old gym. Dwayne Marshall painted the backdrop depicting the theme “One in a Million.” “Soul Brothers Plus” played music to which everyone danced wildly. Mr. Funderburk captured the evening in un- forgetable pictures. But the memories of long dresses, corsages, rock music, and a football victory remain. Students approve of band’s music as they dance to a current hit. ioe “The Soul Brothers Plus” warm up for a hot ‘performance. 20 Homecoming These dancers appear to be having a “good time” as the evening slowed down. King Micah Moon gave Queen Sylvia Anthony the traditional kiss during Friday night’s football game against the Buckingham Knights. Homecoming 21 Attendants’ Night To Remember Homecoming A Success Competition for homecoming queen was extremely close. Mrs. Gerling commented when the count was final, “Voting was closer than it has been in the last ten years.” Sylvia Anthony was crowned queen, and Micah “Bootsy” Moon, king. Winning the homecoming football game against Buckingham, 28-0, gave the Colonels their first homecoming win in eight years. Saturday night “The Soul Brothers Plus” entertained at the annual home- coming dance with their dynamite music. The people who attended were from grades seven through twelve, to alumni, parents and teachers who chaperoned. First runner-up in a closely contested race for queen, Kay Nichols, senior attendant, was es- corted by Scott Jewel. Football players volunteered to escort the home- coming court. Junior attendants Julie Campbell and Cathy Payne posed with their escorts Mike Weeks and Walter Myers. 22 Homecoming Sharing in the excitement of the student body The grin on Joey Gray’s face shows the de- over their selection, 1980-81 King and Queen, light of the team over a homecoming victory.

Homecoming 23 —_ ieee 24 Band me So OT Rhee ed s Corps Style Revives Band A new director with a new style led the Marching Colonels. A graduate of Gretna High School in 1974 and Northeast Louisiana University in 1979 with a Masters degree in music educa- tion, Mr. Leonard Crocker took the place of former director David Price. Mr. Crocker conducted the Franklin County High School band before com- ing to Altavista. When asked how he liked Colonel Country, he replied, “I love it!’ The new style, which he intro- duced, called corps has swept the coun- try and is used by high school and col- lege bands in place of the traditional military style. “It’s a vast improvement and well ac- cepted by the public,” said Mrs. Johe- len Martin, English teacher. With Mr. Crocker as director and corps the style, the band shows a big improvement from past years. During fall competitions they placed fourth at Elon N.C. and fifth at Tunstall High School, indicat- ing the judges reception to this new style. Leading the band on the field during the entrance number is drum major, Virginia Willey, and flag corps members Alicia Robbins and Barbara Wil- ley. Majorettes perform in Muppet show routine in competition at Elon, North Carolina. Having people jump in your face is not a good feeling. Here a field judge “tics” points as the band performs in a fall field competition in Tun- stall, Virginia. 2 4 Vas? - ae on ce Always taking his work seriously is Mr. Leonard Crocker, band director. He leads the middle school band in songs for their pep rallies. During the exit number, the flag corps members surround Jimmy Yeatts as he plays the solo for “Yesterday” by the Beatles. The highlight of the field show was the exit num- ber. This particular move was very difficult and took hours of practice. Leaders who devoted extra time and worked ex- tremely hard during the marching season are Ali- cia Robbins-flag captain, Mr. Leonard Crocker- band director, Mark McGregor-drum captain, Virginia Willey-drum major, and Twyla Howell head majorette.

Enth- usiam for it was brought to school. Spirits rose and excitement filled the air as students waited for the holiday vaca- tion. The excitement began with the Al- tavista Jaycee’s Parade. The ICT-COE entered a float of make-believe charac- ters, Santa Claus, Mickey Mouse, Don- ald Duck, Minney Mouse; and the fa- vorite of most, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, helped to create the fairy tales. Christmas was a busy time for stu- dents and teachers as they shopped, vis- ited friends, exchanged gifts, and ob- served the holiday with religious cere- monies and prayers. The challenging art club door contest and the happiness of special friends Christmas decorations were placed throughout the school as here in Mr. Odom’s office. heightened the exuberance. The Christ- mas door contest winners were first place- Mrs. Rosser’s homeroom, second place- Mrs. Robinson’s homeroom, and third place- Mr. Powell’s homeroom. Honorable mention was given to Mrs. Greenlee’s homeroom. For the middle school, first place was Mrs. Goldsmith’s homeroom, second place- Mr. Perkin’s homeroom, and third- Mrs. Delafield’s. The chorus gave a fasinating Christ- mas performance for family and friends on Dec. 11. Also they gave a perfor- mance for the students on December 19. The best time was when we got out of school on Dec. 19 and didn’t have to come back until January 5. At this time everyone’s feelings became one as each student gained the spirit of Christmas. Placing first in door decorations was Mrs. Rosser’s homeroom. The contest was sponsored by the Art Department. In Family Living home ec students develop Christmas projects for the home. The traditional gingerbread house was baked and shaped by Don- na Tyler and LeAnne Williamson. Jan Deese tried her hand at a candy house. Christmas 27 28 Clubs FBLA students Terri Dalton, Patricia Mel- ton, Sherry Hedrick, Delene Cox, and Valarie Farmee stand in line for refreshments served by Andrea Brafford after skit “So You Want to Get a Job?” put on by club members. After studying the correct etiquette, 7th grade home ec students held a party for parents and teachers demonstrating what they had learned. Here parents and students enjoy refreshments prepared by students. (top left) Hearing a first hand account of what life in an- other country is like, history and Spanish students listen to Rev.

(top right) Scenery Changes On Colonel Set To break the monotony of classes Latin students hit the road for excite- ment, while clubs put on plays and had parent-student teas. Latin clubs members got a special treat when they attended the Latin con- vention November 14 and 15 at Roa- noke Civic Center and stayed at the Days Inn. Students designed, made and wore their own togas at banquet. They competed in a contest on Latin lan- guage. The convention ended by elect- ing officers for the 1981 Junior Classi- cal League of Latin Students in Virgin- la. A field trip to Rustburg took the place of the Spanish Christmas tea, but the 132 students who attended agreed it was worth the switch. The club was en- tertained by a dance ensemble of Mexi- can students from Texas. After the per- formance students got to meet and talk with these Hispanic people about their native customs, language, and general way of life. FHA, 7th grade home ec, and FBLA held parent-student socials and the band put together a Christmas concert for the entertainment of every- one. These activities called for staying at school for planning instead of going home. Band boosters held a covered dish supper to recognize outstanding band members. Between practice and trying to raise money for new uniforms band members seemed always on the move. Parents take some time from their own lives to take interest in the FHA members. Here Russ Oliver, Mrs. Russell Oliver, Angie Campbell, An- gie Lambert, and Mrs. Phyllis Lambert enjoy dinner at FHA Parent-Student Banquet. Long, hard hours of practice finally seem worth it when you’re up on stage. The Christmas concert showed just how good the Colonel band is. Here Cindy Burch and Jimmy Yeatts concentrate on music playing Christmas Carols. Clubs 29 The NUNTIUS, a book ... and oh, what a book. Filled with a piece of ev- ery moment, it holds the memories of a whole year. A picture painted stroke by stroke until the work was finished. Few people realized the number of people needed and efforts put forth to put this master piece together. In the summer, when the up-coming school year was the furthest thing from many students minds, NUNTIUS staff members were attending workshops and selling advertisements. When classes began there were yearbooks to be sold, assignments to pages, and then the seemingly never ending struggle to meet deadlines. Backing up the staff and trying to keep things running as smooth as possi- ble was advisor, Mrs. Johelen Martin. Generously giving her time at home as well as the hours put in at school, she At yearbook assembly Mrs. Aurora Tolley gives her imitation of Richard Nixon as she tells 9th and 10th graders why it’s a good idea to buy a yearbook. Mrs. Tolley was one of the five teach- ers that spoke to students at the assembly. 30 Yearbook Yearbook Provides Memories edited and proofed copy and okayed layouts. Taking on extra responsibilities, Edi- tor-in-Chief Kim Arthur set up the yearbook, established deadlines, edited pages, and reviewed proofs as well as worked on her own pages. Since the departure of Mr. Roger Heffelfinger, Mrs. Mary Greenlee took over the job of assistant advisor and supervised photography as well as some business duties. Marty Witt was put in charge of coordinating staff requests and photographer assignments. Publishing the NUNTIUS was 12 months of hard work by 28 staff mem- bers, but the results were a book of memories worth cherishing for a life- time. What to say was the question often heard as soon as autographing of yearbooks began. But inevita- bly the owner received it with at least a paragraph of memories, feelings, and good wishes for the future written down. Ran Coleman checks out the NUNTIUS while munching on refreshments provided by the yearbook staff at the signing par- ty. : ’ i : | i Dressed for her part as thief in ““As the Yearbook Pages Turn”, Debbie Osborne shows just how wild and crazy the skit made her feel. It was just one activity that took place during Spirit Week hosted by the yearbook staff. OS Did these people realize this was one of the last times they would be together? Here some mem- bers of the graduating class, Pam Dillard, Ronnie Steiger, and Alfred Albiston, chat with Mr. Rog- er Heffelfinger at their signing party. They held something in common for the end of the year marked the departure of Mr. Heffelfinger as well as the class of ’80. Middle school students show their involvement on Wednesday of Spirit Week which was “Fam- ous People Day’. Prize winners from the eighth grade were Cornelia Lee - Ist place; Larry Pillow - 2nd; Verie Edwards - 3rd; and Lisa Simpson - 4th.

Its annual leadership conference held at Appo- mattox County High School, October 3, featured a variety of guest speakers, including one who discussed the work of the March of Dimes. There was also a poster contest with the theme Home- making: The Universal Skill. FHA members from Appomattox, William Campbell, Rustburg and Altavista par- ticipated. Altavista brought home a first, second, and third place ribbon as well as two ribbons of honorable men- tion. Their federation skating party was held at Lynchburg Skateland. Six mem- bers from each chapter were chosen to run for Mr. or Miss FHA. Altavista’s Kay Anthony was crowned Miss FHA. FHA also hosted a Christmas tea.

FHA 33 Students Involved In M.G.A. When Altavista’s teenagers sought involvement in government, they joined Hi-Y clubs. Here they could get first hand experience in running a state gov- ernment as delegates to the Model Gen- eral Assembly. Held in Richmond each spring, the assembly goes through the same process to pass bills as the state legislature. Bills were submitted by clubs around the state. In April 1980 the Hi-Y presented a bill seeking sup- port of county registras to come to high schools to register eighteen year olds. Likewise the Tri-Hi-Y submitted one too. Both were not only placed in the bill book but passed the assembly. But state government was not the only concern of these groups.

Then the council met monthly, beginning in September, to come up with ideas to improve the SCA’s role. Mrs. Myra Thompson in her second year as advisor, worked deligently to organize the group and get them head- ed toward significant goals. The council which included home- room representatives was headed by Danks Burton-president, Susan Steiger- vice president, Phillip Protz-treasurer, and Marlo Henderson-secretary. Kay Nichols and Johnna Fariss represented the Altavista SCA on the county safety committee. The SCA was involved in numerous Students turned out in large numbers for the SCA sponsored dance after the last home football game. “White Water” played country rock. 36 S.C.A. activities.

The council held a dance after the final home football game and a Valentine dance, increased the mer- chandise sold at the school store, put a suggestion box in the library, and changed the academic letter from patches to certificates, except for five year winners. They also revised the re- quirements for the patch. Danks Burton, SCA president, was asked how he felt about the SCA. He said, “I feel that the SCA has come a long way, and that this year’s SCA was ,an improvement and I hope future SCAs continue to improve. Speaking at SCA campaign assembly, Susan Steiger addresses student audience before elec- tion. Susan was elected vice president.

World Of Work Becomes |} A Reality Having the responsibility of running a business and learning a trade is not an easy job, but it can make the difference in the future world of work. Students taking part in Junior Achievement learned how to operate a business. They made and sold bird feeders, planters, magazine racks, and rope donkeys. Earning wages every month under the supervision of Mr. Larry Hunley, J.A. students learned how a business oper- ates and how to keep a business run- ning. Vo-Tech students also learned about business. During three periods each day, these students went to the Voca- tional Technical School and learned about trades such as auto and body re- pair, child care, cooking, nursing, and office trades. All this learning in high school sent graduates into the job mar- ket with saleable skills. Making sure every crack is painted, Angie Foxx eyes side of planter made by J.A.

The students gathered in the cafeteria for a breakfast of doughnuts and milk before the assembly. The efforts of the Advisory Council, who link the students with the commu- nity, faculty and vocational students, made the week a big success. Angela Lambert may have summed it up better than anyone in her essay when she said, “Home economics helps students learn values, goals, and com- munication.

Vocational Ed. 41 Weekends Popular For Gatherings Weekends seldom slipped by unno- ticed. When Friday arrived, the week- end was already planned. After the three o’clock bell rang, familiar cries of “See you at the game,” or “Meet you at the Freeze” echoed through the halls. When the game was over students would gather at the Freeze, the usual hangout place, the Hut, or the new Hardees which became a popular place to meet friends. For different entertain- ment students met at Flipper’s, in Staunton Plaza, for a Saturday after- noon while Saturday nights were usual- ly spent in Lynchburg at a movie or the Mall. Sometimes weekends got pretty hectic, there were times when there weren't enough hours for homework, too. Something had to go. For most, it wasn’t the partying. Parking lots became a popular meeting spot just to sit and talk or see who drives by. Anita O’dell, Dora Dudley, Reenee Evans, and Andrea Braf- ford catch up on the latest gossip. A new popular hang out is Flipper’s, located in Staunton Plaza. Rhonda Davis tests her skill with a favorite pinball machine, the Rolling Stone. 42 Hangout Places A little messy, but nevertheless having a good time, Mark Brumfield and Scott Tucker eat at Hardees, a pop ular place to hang out when weather’s too cold for the Freeze. An oldie, but a goodie, through all these years, the Freeze has remained the students’ favorite place to see friends. Robert Keese, Bryant Cop- ley, Joey Krantz, and Donald Keesetalk about their plans for the upcoming weekend. The Pizza Hut is a popular place to eat and hang out with friends. Kathy Vaughn takes a chunk out of her pan pizza, a favorite of all patrons. Cruising around town is a popular pastime also. After a little ride through town, Phyllis McIntyre takes a break. Hangout Places 43 Preppy Look Popular Style Although Altavista is a small rural town, big city fashions didn’t pass it by. The “preppy” fashion hit with an impact marked by alligator shirts, pants, and belts. After the Urban Cowboy, the western look flew into motion also. Vests, boots, bibs, and a lot of cowboy hats became part of the daily fashion. Hairstyles changed again too. For girls, short hair was growing fast and for guys, long hair was cut short. Looking good outside was one thing, but feeling good inside was another. A ride down Bedford Ave- nue acquainted the viewer with an- other craze sweeping the country, joggers trying to keep in shape by running everyday. Displaying her “preppy” fashion is Robin Wood. Popular colors for this look were bright green and hot pink. The “in-thing” with jewelry was add-a-beads and chains. Worn single or mixed, they were collected in different sizes and colors. The “preppy” trade mark! Izod Lacoste shirts were a hit with students. And the alligator was visible on crew necks, V-necks, belts, and socks, too. Reading up on the latest fashions in Glamour are Alicia Robbins and Twyla Howell.

Many students such as Cheryl Childress have resorted to small compact economy cars so pumping gas isn’t necessary quite so often. 46 Current Events © A Need For New Hope The presidential election was prob- ably the most dramatic event of the fall. A mock election was held by the gov- ernment classes with the results the same as those at the polls. Ronald Rea- gan won by a surprising landslide. While President Carter finished up his four year term, Reagan started taking over the nation’s problems including the hostages. Days turned to months and months rolled around into a year and still the issue of the hostages was not solved. Between Iran and Moscow the United States seemed on the brink of a war many times. As frightening talk of the draft starting up again, the U.S. boy- cotted the summer olympics and many athletes gave up a life time of work for their country. People and nations weren’t the only things against the United States. Moth- er Nature showed her force with the eruption of Mt. St. Helen. Inflation still soared and no end seemed in sight. 1981 began a time for the American people to pull together in nationalism. With a new President came new hope for the future. But life was not all worrying. On the list of entertainment was the mystery of “Who Shot J.R.?” from Dallas which kept viewers in suspence until the end of November. 33%,| Fetnican Tax Cut Defeated by a surprising land slide, President Jimmy Carter stepped down on January 21 to end his four year term.

Mr. Erb has been with us since 1972 serving as p.e. teacher, athletic director, basketball and tennis coach, and assistant princi- pal from 1978-1979. Mr. Erb has ulti- mate responsibility for the entire school program, finances, staff employment and supervision, and provisions for ath- letics and student activities. He also controls building use and maintenance and community relations. The faculty as well as students looked to Mr. Erb for guidance. Assistant high school principal Win- ston Odom had daily contact with stu- dents as he approved absences, handled discipline problems for grades nine through twelve, and checked tardies. He felt everyone had the opportunity to build something lasting, as our school offers programs f or every student. Mr. Odom advised students “to be aware of what is available, support the school and take advantage of what it offers.” He also urged students to “cement rela- tionships with teachers and_ class- mates.” Mr. Charles Arthur kept middle school students in tow! He assisted with book rental, locker assignments, and middle school discipline. Mr. Arthur oversaw changes in the middle school. Mrs. Nancy Lobbregt taught a class for seventh grade students called decision making. Also eighth grade students were given a separate lunch. Mr. Ar- thur remarked, “I believe these changes added to an exciting and fun-filled school year.” Another au thoratative figure was Mr. Fred Ryan who ran In-School-Sus- pension with great care and concern, handling anyone or anything sent to him from the office. Prior to this job, he played professional football. Our play- ers looked to him for advice as he filled a slot as one of our football coaches. One of Mr. John Erb’s numerous jobs was giving advice.

So the guidance department con- tinued in its role to help with educa- tional and career planning. It kept records, made schedules, determined junior and senior placement, super- vised standardized testing, wrote and sent transcripts and recommenda- tions and listened to our woes. Its staff included Miss Kathleen Burnette, director and counselor for grades 10-12, Miss Margaret Dowdy, counselor of gardes 7-9, and Mrs. Kathy Reynolds, secretary, who in Miss Burnette’s own words, “was invaluable.

In addition to this Mrs. DeJar- nette, librarian, and Mrs. Whitely, librarian’s secretary, arranged to have an automatic checkout system installed to cut down on the number of lost books. To save time the stu- dents were issued library numbers for use with the auto checkout sys- tem. The library took on a new dimen- sion with the study hall and English classes utilizing the resources for study purposes. This was enhanced with $1000 worth of books bought with donations from the middle school P.T.A. $10,000 from the fed- eral government helped to buy sup- plies such as audio-video materials needed to keep the library running smoothly.

Dancers from Houston, Texas, entertained them by performing Mexican dances. At the end of the show, the audience had an opportunity to talk to the performers. Canterbury Tales was explored once again by English 12 students. They in- vented costumes and acted out a char- acter from one of the stories. They also learned about the background of Eng- lish kings. Reading was an essential part of Mrs. Ora Blanks’ tenth and eleventh grade English classes. Each student was to turn in a book evaluation for each book he read. A minimum of 1800 pages was required per semester. They also in- creased their vocabulary by acting out a vocabulary word each week.

Most of their time was spent on increasing vocabulary and im- proving reading skills. Along with grammar and spelling, the eigth grade English students read ten minutes during class and ten min- utes every night. Some classes did book reports every two weeks while other classes did one each month. Each stu- dent kept a journal containing summar- ies of his books. Book reports were pre- sented in drawings, collages, or pictures as well as orally or written. Basic grammar skills were stressed for seventh grade English students. These were used in writing formal and friendly letters and in free writing which gave students an opportunity to write about any topic they wanted. Each week tenth and eleventh grade English stu- dents in Mrs. Ora Blanks’ class were required to teach a vocabulary word to the class. Scott Tucker demonstrates the word “tatterdemalion” here.

Want a chance to test your creativity or flex your muscles? Many students turned to art and physical education to do just that. The art department offered paint- ing, drawing, lettering, printmaking, and sculpture. Departmand head, Mrs. Jane Bradbury, along with Miss Chriss Weinert, emphasized American artists. A “gallery” displayed some of the students’ art work, and bulletin boards around the school added col- or to the halls with the current art classes’, projects. While P.E. was a nice break from books, some students weren’t always content. “Do we have to take a show- er?” “Who’s got my other sock?” “Somebody stole my tennis shoes!” These were familiar cries heard in the p.e. locker rooms from 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. But the 10th graders sang a different tune. “Boy, I’m glad this is our last year!” “I get my learn- er’s next week!” The sophomores were glad this was their last of four years in physical education. Helping first year art student, Debbie Gillis, Miss Chris Weinert arranges pictures for a collage. A “gallery” next to the art room provided a place to think and let ideas flow.

Bud Barbour, sophomore, is caught in action as he prepares for a dangerous fore- hand. Barbour, Buddy Ottinger, and Kevin Brooks paved a rough road. Jeff Finch and Teddy Ferguson, seniors, hustled to place third in the regional doubles and as a result, gained 149 points for the season. In the singles Teddy Ferguson made his way to the regionals. His season’s re- cord boasted 146 points. Graduation claimed most regional winners, so Coach Larry Lamanna be- gan a search for replacements. Exerting much effort, Albert Rowland, junior, slams ball. A first year team member, he added depth as he worked to perfect his serve.

Track 71 Errors Major Factor In Losing Season The Colonelettes softball team had much reb uilding to do with only one starting player returning from the °79 year. Hard work and determination was needed to see the season through. Lack of experience in playing softball was the one factor that prevailed constantly. Becky Burgess, the team captain and only returning starter, led the team in every aspect. Lisa Cook looked like she would be a real asset, but a fall at ho- meplate benched her for the season. Linda Farthing and Teresa Burgess ad- ded a great deal to the team’s efforts. Debbie Osborne and Sylvia Cabler nev- er missed a minute of the action. Inex- perience hurt, but next year looks brighter since the team only lost two players to graduation. Firing a strike into homeplate is Becky Burgess, who got second team all district for pitching.

Softball 73 Early Batting Slump Crushes Tournament Hopes After falling one game short of the tournament in ’79, Coach Vaden’s young Colonels had high hopes for a tournament seat in 1980. With a nu- cleus of eight juniors, three fresh- man, three seniors, and three sopho- mores, the Colonels’ high hopes fal- tered early in the season with the team in a batting slump. Despite an early hitting streak by second base- man Mark Brumfield, the rest of the lineup couldn’t come up with timely RBI’s. Game after game, the Colo- nels left badly needed scores strand- ed on the bases. and 4-3. With a record of 4-7, and the most strike-outs in the district, Burgess was honored first team all district along with Kenny Dixon of Amherst. Also receiving district honors was Scott Finch at center field. He was also voted the MVP by the team along with capturing the batting average award. With 14 returning letterman, Coach Vaden looked for a more con- sistant season in the spring of 1981. All-District pitcher Tracy Burgess shows deter- mination while pitching against Liberty.

Colonels never found the right gear to get on the winning track. In spite of a winless sea- son, the J.V.’s gained much needed ex- perience for the future varsity. With the help of Jeff Wolfe, a stu- dent teacher from Liberty Baptist Col- lege, Coach Vaden taught the young players the basics of the game.

Baseball District Trophy Captured By One Stroke Unlike the past two years of complet- ing the season in 4th place, the Colonels drove to the finish in first place. After losing only 2 of 8 matches, one to non-district Heritage, the Colonels got it back in gear for the rest of the season losing only one more to Liberty at Winton. After winning the district by one stroke with a close call to Liberty, the low scores were topped by district med- alist Danks Burton with a score of 79. Second was Chet Brockwell trailing not far behind at 85; next was David Brock well shooting a close 91. The last of the top four low scores was Jon Belinski shooting a 93. With these great scores the Colonels had high hopes for the Re- gionals. Shooting their best score ever, the Colonels suffered by losing, yet coming in Sth place.

After taking a 9 point halftime lead in the open- er with Chatham, the Colonels ap- peared to be on their way. A 32 yard fieldgoal by Tracy Burgess and a second quarter touchdown run by Micah Moon got the Colo- nels off to a good start. The de- fense, led by Moon with 10 tack- les and 4 assists, held the Cava- liers to 140 total yards offense. Moon also added a fourth quarter touchdown that turned out to be the games deciding points. Moon finished the game with 121 yards rushing on 26 attempts. The Colo- nel defense held the Cavaliers scoreless until the end of the third quarter despite three turnovers. Colonel defenders Scott Jewell, Floyd Smith, Mike Hogue, and Micah Moon converge on downed Gretna ball carrier. Bulling his way through the middle, Charles Crews picks up 8 yards against William Camp- bell. 78 Football Altavista 0 Brookville 20 Defense totally dominated the first 2 quarters of the clash be- tween the Bees and the Colonels. It appeared they would go into the second half scoreless, but with less than a minute to play the Bees connected on a touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead. The Colonel of- fense never got going ending the game with only 149 yards. The single bright spot offensively was Joey Gray who caught five passes for 49 yards. The Colonel defense was led by Micah Moon. Altavista 0 Jefferson Forest 48 After holding the defending re- gional champion Cavaliers score- less “til the end of the first quar- ter, it appeared the Colonels might give the heavy favorite a run for their money. But then diaaster hit: six turnovers and 42 more points left the Colonels at the end of a lopsided victory. De- spite great efforts by Micah Moon, ten tackles and six assists, and Walter Myers with 83 yards rushing, the outsized Colonels couldn’t hold the explosive Cava- liers in tact. Altavista 13 Liberty 14 After falling behind 14-7 with just minutes to play, the Colonels took the ensuing kickoff and drove the length of the field be- hind the running of Micah Moon. Play after play Moon found holes off left tackle behind the blocking of Jeff Chapman and tightends Mike Hoover and Reuben Milli- ner. Finally with just over a min- ute to play Moon crossed the goalline to make the score 13-14. After deciding to go for 2 and the win, the play was called: Moon up the middle. Unfortunately Moon never got the ball as the snap was mishandled. The Colonel defense shut Liberty down except for two big plays, both of their scores. Moon led the defense with 8 tack- les and 4 assists. Dragging two Hawk players along with him, Mi- cah Moon picks up some of his 126 yards he had Vaden and Toney venture onto the field to discuss rushing against the Hawks.

Altavista 7 Appomattox 23 After taking a 7-6 halftime lead, it appeared the Colonels might upset the Raiders, but with 2 second half touchdowns called back and the fact the Colonels couldn’t get a break, time caught up with them as the Raiders scored 19 points in the final quar- ter. The Colonels’ only score came on a pass from Tracy Bur- gess to Joey Gray after Mike Hoover recovered an Appomat- tox fumble deep in their own terri- tory. The defense was led by Scott Jewell and Micah Moon. Altavista 28 Buckingham 0 After 8 long years of homecom- ing losses, the Colonels finally gave their students something to dance about. The Big Orange De- fense held the visiting Knights to 64 yards total offense while inter- cepting three passes and recover- ing two fumbles. Offensively, Homecoming King Micah Moon scored three touchdowns, and Joey Gray caught 67 yards worth of passes including the first touch- down of .the game to pace the Colonels. Moon also led the de- fense with 10 tackles and 5S assist. Trying to find running room on an option play, quarterback Tracy Burgess tries to outrun a Hawk defender. Burgess picked up six yards on the play. Altavista 6 Gretna 0 After playing in the shadows of Micah Moon the entire season, senior Charles Crews let the Gret- na Hawks know he could run the ball also. Not only did he inter- cept a pass and run it back for a touchdown that was called back, but he also set up the only score of the game on a 46 yard run in the final quarter. The Colonel defense which held the Hawks to 47 yards rushing and 22 passing was led by big Floyd Smith.

Football 81 Cheerleaders “Go Gorilla’”’ Over MS; Collect $2212.73 Being a varsity football cheer- leader required more than “going gorillas”, drawirig posters, and mak- ing banners. Before the first game, the cheerleaders received a letter in- viting them to participate in a Multi- ple Sclerosis drive. Each high school within a 30 mile radius of WJJS ra- dio station was asked to participate. Only five schools accepted: Liberty, Rustburg, Jefferson Forest, Am- herst, and Altavista. It was a long hard season. The cheerleaders, through all the hard times of bug- ging everyone asking for money, nev- er gave up. And when the going got tough, the cheerleaders worked harder. Each Wednesday the week’s con- tributions were turned in. Miss Akers’ classes raised $300.50, and the middle school raised 310.00, helping out a lot. And the results? Altavista-lst with $2212.73. Although the team’s 3-7 record was not impressive, the cheerleaders support never ceased. Before the William Campbell game the cheerleaders fixed supper for the players and coaches. And the cheerleaders and Mrs. Gerling were surprised with corsages during the supper. Nine brand new smiling faces emerged when JV cheerleaders were chosen May 30. Competition was tough so screams of joy were under- standable when the final list was posted by Mrs. Gerling. Beginning practice in mid-July, the JV cheerleaders started by choosing new outfits of orange jump- ers with white blouses with their names monogramed on the bib. Dif- ferent tasks arose daily such as cop- ing with sore muscles, learning the words to new cheers, synchronizing movements, and practicing with the varsity. After school started, Mon- days were devoted to making posters and banners. The rest of the week was spent going over and over cheers.

With a new coach and four returning play- ers, some tough decisions had to be made to insure a winning season. Daily hard work build stamina and improved skills. The team was able to gain some preseason experience by entering the Jefferson Invita- tional Tournament. Even though they were downed and out of the tournament after losing to two top teams, Rustburg and Liberty, the — Colonettes were able to spot where they needed to work most. The sea- son began slowly with the team los- ing the first five games, but finally getting a win against Nelson County.

Volleyball 85 Upsets Clinch Tournament After taking a quick 4-0 record and tying Gretna for first place, it appeared the district title may well be decided between Altavista and its arch-rival. But the streak ended and inconsistent play set in. Through the remainder of the season the Colonels played in spurts never really having a game up to their potential. Then the district tournament rolled around and the Colonels turned into an entirely new team. With the coaching of Fred Ryans, John Erb, and Conrad Green, the team came into the season finals with fire in their eyes. After defeating Nelson County 61 to 54 in the first round, the Colonels faced tournament favorites and regular sea- son champs Gretna.

Behind the 25 point effort of Robbi Myers and 20 by Micah Moon, the Colonels easily dis- posed of the Knights with a 73 to 57 victory. The regionals held at Rustburg were the next stop. Facing the huge front line of the Tunstall Trojans would be a test for the hot Colonels. Behind the play of forwards Robbi Myers and Micah Moon the Colonels went into the locker room at half time only two points behind. In the second half the Trojans used their height to beat the Colonels inside and kill their streak with an 11 and 10 record. Despite the final loss, the Colonels ended the season with more pride and respect than any other Altavista team in the recent years. Flying high against Gretna, Micah Moon pulls down one of his 12 rebounds in a three point loss to the Hawks. Driving down the middle against Rustburg, Tra- cy Burgess scores two ina losing effort against the Devils. Waiting for the shot, senior Danks Burton gets into position to pull the possible rebound in a victory over Buckingham. Conversing with Kyle Goldsmith and Robbie Bla- kely, Coach Ed Frazier points out offensive changes he wants to be made.

Behind the scor- ing of Frank Poindexter, Heath Clark, and Donald Allen, Coach Albert Ran- dolf’s squad won eleven of the thirteen last games after losing the games to Nelson County. With the quickness dis- played on the j.v. squad, an entire new dimension awaits the varsity. With so many lopsided victories, Coach Ran- dolf had plenty of time to play his youn- ger players so the j.v. squad has plenty of experience going for it.

Finally with Lisa back in the line-up the Colonelettes started giving their opponents a rough time. Seeing that experience would be needed for future years, Coach Linda Smither played many of her younger players. As the season progressed great progress was made for the coming years.

Lacking experience and hav- ing only three returnees, the squad spent daily practice time learning basic techniques. Then followed a season of highs and lows as they confronted dis- trict opponents.

They cruised up and down Bedford Ave- nue and around the track every day after school for an hour and a half. The season opened with an invita- tional meet at Heritage High School which showed the team’s “overall strength” according to Coach Don- nie Vaden. First place Brookville and four other Seminole teams were knocked down at a Lynchburg Col- lege track meet. The Colonels accumulated 174 points in their third meet aginst 125 for Brookville, 64 for William Campbell, 43 for Jefferson Forest and 18 for the Rustburg Red Devils. First place winners were Mike Ho- gue in shot putt with a throw of 43.9 feet, Charles Crews with a long jump of 19.11 feet, and Reuben Milliner with a 40 foot 4-inch triple jump and 356 second 300 yard run. The 880 yard relay team of Charles Crews, Ray Tucker, Ricky Merrit, and Chris Merritt, were first with 1 minute 41 seconds. Demonstrating his ability in the shot putt is Mi- chael Weeks. 96 Indoor Track Cruising on down the line is Chris Merritt for his defeating triple jump of 40 feet 4 inches in triple jump. “Smooth and easy” seems to be the thought on Reuben Milliner’s mind as he sails across the bar. His record for high jump was 5.6 feet. People Staying after school Stan West and Lisa Mueller discuss plans for the academic sec- tion in the yearbook.

Seniors prepared for the bumpy rides they will meet after graduation. Fresh- men had suddenly become a part of the high school, while sophomores were no longer at the bottom of the totem pole, and all year juniors were busy preparing for prom. It was an exciting year full of the unexpected. Seniors Cruise To New Challenges One by one the seniors began to real- ize their prestige as the graduating class. When they came to school on the first day in late August, they found they had a parking lot to themselves, a sur- prise to all of them. Later in the first semester they got to go to lunch five minutes earlier than everyone else. This also added great deal of prestige. Among the many special things they got to do was hold a question and an- swer session with a representative from Central Virginia Community College. Later in January the Gideons gave them Bibles. As a part of government class they went to Richmond to watch the General Assembly in session. This was a special experience to see govern- ment at work. In addition to this they’ observed a murder trial in Rustburg at the county court. How different and challenging were these opportunities. No longer was it necessary to move in hesitation as when they first entered high school in the fall of 1976. The embarrassment of being eighth graders had long ago vanished. Drivers’ licenses and class rings weren’t even as important as a year or so ago. Graduation, jobs, college, marriage were the big goals now. Being fitted for caps and gowns is a long awaited moment for seniors as shown in the anxious facial expression of Norman Coles.

The fun times in the halls at break and the cafeteria at lunch were over. The com- forting reinforcement from a teacher when a problem needed solving was changing. Sud- denly the unfamiliar world loomed. Would a job be available? Would success in college be attainable? What would next month and next year be like? Seniors began to wonder. A new kind of excitement and anticipation lurked just behind the throes of graduation.

The seniors looked forward to these oc- casions as special stops along the road- way to graduation.

Yes, excitement filled the air at these times. Dances were held to a minimum so they became social highlights. With or without dates students flocked to the gym to hear their favorite songs and rock to the beat. For seniors these occasions were extra special. The prom in their honor boosted morale. At homecoming the senior King and Queen were the center of attention. Homecoming Queen Sylvia Anthony and King Micah Moon take a few minutes to lead the court in a dance in their honor. Senior 105 “Play” Develops All work and no play makes a dull Colonel. And indeed the senior class endorsed that philosophy. Play time was even more important than study time to many! Involvement ranging from sports and clubs to dating and ‘cruising the town’ occupied leisure time. SCA president Danks Burton and class president Kay Nichols found school-related business captured their time. MGA and MUN reinforced classroom learning as well as opened doors to interesting people. SODA Supporting the basketball team and cheerleaders, Mike Smith and Scott Carpenter cheer along with friends during game. Leadership brought release time from sixth period class so both juniors and seniors could volunteer service to help younger chil- dren. FHA offered leadership develop- ment along with Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y. These groups were popular and saw seniors directing their programs. While not considered work in the true sense of the word, the leisure time activities trained students for responsible posi- tions in jobs and leadership roles in their community. Searching for a book, Bob Layne rambles through his locker, but his attention seems to be on the action down the hall.

Seniors 111 Seniors See Big Changes In Five Years If changing gears was part of cruising through school, the seniors should be experts. Course offerings switched from quarter courses to year long classes and then to semester ones. The curriculum changed three times during the five years the class of 1981 was at AHS. They had three principals and four as- sistants. They lived through construc- tion and renovations to enjoy life in a modern school. No two years were alike.

Some coasted across. Others got a push. But when the checkered flag was waved on May 27 and the race was over, it was hard to believe. Where had the year gone? Only days ago the sweltering heat of September seemed unbearable. A few dropped by the way side. Another few elected to graduate from summer school. But the majority marched across the platform and received a di- ploma from Principal John Erb as sen- ior advisors Nancy Akers, Jerry Boteler and Lillian Andrew assisted.

Seniors 115 Responsibility Rolls To Juniors As Graduation Nears When school started, juniors realized they weren’t seniors, but they were old enough to take the responsibility of be- ing next in line. They were nearing the top of the last hill on a long, winding road. With graduation only one year away, thoughts of future education or jobs bounced around. Juniors realized that there were many new choices for classes now that they no longer had to take phys. ed. Some chose to be a teacher’s aide while others took study hall to cut down on homework. Others took advanced classes such as Algebra II, trigonom- etry, chemistry, Advanced English, or their second or third year of foreign language. For those not going to college, busi- ness courses and Industrial Cooperative Spear-heading the junior classes activities are Rose Organ-secretary, Joey Gray-vice president, Barbara Willey-president, and Alison Steele-trea- surer. 116 Juniors Training offered job opportunities and the benefits of “on the job” training. According to tradition, juniors or- dered class rings in October which ar- rived in time for Thanksgiving break. Selected students were actively in- volved in SODA, a program open to juniors and seniors only. Participating were Brenda Ewing, Denise Ferris, Brett Sisk, Susan Steiger, and Crystal Moorefield. All juniors were screened for Nation- al Honor Society. Eligibility for nomi- nation required a 3.5 average or better from 9th through 11th grades. Charac- ter, responsibility, and leadership were other qualities required for members. Ten qualified and doned NHS ribbons. Giving his current event in Mrs. Hick’s history class is Bruce Goldsmith. Each week on Monday, students were required to tell of a current event. Determined to win the pep rally, juniors shout with all their might. Juniors did succeed by win- ning the last pep rally of the season. Tina Anderson Joseph Anthony Kimberly D.

Given on October 21, the test lasted approximately two and one half hours. It included verbal and mathematic skills. The participants agreed the test was important in that it prepared them for S.A.T. in May. Students who did not take the P.S.A.T.’s could still take Concentrating on her students comments in her SODA group is Brenda Ewing.

The test was a real challenge and participants could hardly wait to get the results. S.R.A.’s were also taken in October to test achievement. It measured read- ing skills- comprehension and vocabu- lary, language arts-usage and spelling, mathematics- concepts and computa- tion, social studies, science, and use of sources. As the results were computed, the eleventh grade demonstrated the same degree of achievement as in past years, but there was improvement in the eighth grade results.

Sophomores 129 Bump To Bottom Starts Freshmen Climbing Beginning their journey up the long winding hill of high school, the fresh- men met challenges along the way. Book reports, homework, p.e. showers, and dressing out proved to be a big jolt. Adding to the frustrations were study courses such as biology, English, and geometry. Balancing the work load with extra-curricular activities wasn’t easy. Freshmen were used to being the top class. Now they were at the bottom of the totem pole. What a bump! But climbing up a step at a time, maneuver- ing the curves, they put themselves into low gear to make the long grade. Assist- ing the freshmen in accelerating the hill was a wide variety of classes which aroused the freshmen’s interest. With semester credits instead of year ones, each quarter’s grade became even more important. No summer school, please! And enough credits for graduation were already a concern. “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, That’s the freshmen’s battle cry,’ screamed spirited freshmen, Candace Ashby and Donna Roakes. Typing an assignment in Typing I is Nancy Mc- Intyre. Typing was a popular elective among freshmen. Finishing up some homework in homeroom is Rhonda Clark.

It’s formalde- hyde used in Miss Phillips’ biology labs, of course. Students looked forward to labs, usually once a week, because they provided a change from daily lectures. Some “I’m getting sick” labs, such as dissecting the squib, helped keep stu- dents involved and interested. The amount of material discussed required biology students to improve their study techniques to pass the tedious tests. Even though students complained about note-taking and tests, biology was an unforgettable experience, espe- cially for those planning a career in the science field.

Getting used to a new bell schedule, two breaks in- stead of one, and a few choices of classes, pre-freshmen began to think school was looking up. By mid-year life was a breeze. Then they encountered a curve: exams, a taste of high school life. When signing up for classes, they found a choice of a foreign language, and a math: pre-algebra, Algebra I, or eighth grade math. FHA., Jr. Tri-Hi-Y, Latin club and SCA provided extra-curricular service opportunities. A middle school contest during the MS drive and pep rally cheering volleys gave the class unity.

In these classes they made orange and black footballs, cooked, wrote sto- ries, practice putting on make-up and mastered basic stage and theater move- ments.

Pre-Freshmen 139 Adventures Offer Challenge ‘“What’s my locker combination?” ‘““Where’s the band room?” “How can I keep up with all these assignments?” “Why can’t I go into the high school hall?” Do I have to take a shower?” Being a seventh grader was difficult. Entering a new school with new rules and ways was frightening, but before Halloween the cafeteria and gym were as familiar as the back of their hands. Their voices were heard at pep rallies and as they passed through the halls. Altavista Middle School had become home! Jimmy Phillips concentrates on music during band practice. J.V. football team shows spirit as they get ready for a home game. Barton Adams Timmy Adkins Lawrence Allen Patricia Arnold Timothy Ashby Kenny Austin Barry Baggerly Jeffrey Bane Kevin Bell Timothy Betterton Darrell Black Christopher Boyd 140 Seventh Grade The 7th graders settled into a rigid curriculum: English, math, science, history, and p.e. They rotated from shop, to home economics, or art, or decision making each nine weeks, unless they were one of the thirty who took band. Only one break was allowed between their seven classes, and clubs were not offered for them. The seventh graders didn’t mind. They were too busy getting adjusted to their new life style. Practicing using their manners, Romonda Farris serves Tammy Cox cake at home ec. party.

A lighting booth and operating board, catwalk with spot lights, and stage lights were part of the modern facility. But who would operate and oversee this equipment? A group of nine teachers requested instruction. In night, assemblies, drama classes, and working with Little Theater know how to operate the theater lighting. A clos- ing activity for the class was a trip to Lynchburg College to see Mary Stew- art directed by Dr. Hailey and to tour the Dillard Fine Arts Building at the college. October Dr. Robert Hailey of Lynch- burg College began six week class teaching basics in light design and op- eration of the light board. Now those teachers directing class Calling roll, Mrs. Nancy Hicks starts to conduct U.S. history class. Junior class sponsor, Mrs. Hicks took class in theatrical lighting.

The staff hustled out as soon as school closed in June to sell a record $2500 in advertising. They extend a thanks to these indus- tries and merchants. Receiving signature on an ad contract at First National Bank is Alicia Robbins. Sales by staff reached an all time high. All money which was collected for the ads was used to purchase extras in the yearbook. Putting together a successful book would have been an impossible task without the help of these boosters. At Arlenes Florist Cheryl Childress awaits signature and copy for ad.

Basketball season closed about the time Valentine’s Day was celebrated with carnations from FHA flower day and the SCA dance. ————— ae Jazzing it up during half time is the Jazz band. During three of the home games the group played a number of tunes beginning each game with the “Star Spangled Banner” and adding the Colonel fight song at least once each evening. A cruise turned to a crash (on a bus!) after school Tuesday, January 6, when bus 97 driven by Mrs. Helen Yuille pulled into the path of bus 116 driven by Mrs. Carolyn Payne. Traffic guard Mr. Carleton Coles escaped bodily harm but half a dozen students had minor injuries. Mrs. Payne suffered a minor knee injury and Mrs. Yuille, a broken rib. Catching up on a little homework before school are Byrant Copley, Julie Campbell, Cheryl Chil- dress, Sherry Newman, and Scott Tucker. 176 Closing During lunch LeAnne Williamson and Bud Bar- bour catch up on Spanish homework before their next class. During Latin class Johnny Jordan, Paul Sim- mons, Gregg Davis, and Stephen Campbell par- ticipate in disscusion. Closing 177 Break Offers Rest Before Final Surge Before long, March rumbled into April and spring was upon us. Baseball and softball began along with outdoor track. Students looked forward to spring clothes, bare feet and not much more school. April brought spring break, college boards, MGA, MUN and prom. The juniors slaved hard and long. Prom was great and April was a month to be remembered. During a basketball pep ralley Principal John Erb and Coach Toney speak to the students urg- ing support for the team and observation of good sportsmanship. Teammates congratulate Tracy Burgess on a home run against Rustburg. Tracy became first team all district for pitching. we bite be | Ma a 178 Closing +e Ac RE, yy - : Having a bite of pizza one night at MGA are Linda Gill, Scott Jewell, and Bud Barbour.

The morning bulletin also passed on best wishes to faculty members. Having a serious conversation with Mrs. Ora Blanks at MGA are Bud Barbour, Janet Wil- liams, and Donna Tyler.

A Memorable Cruise Ends May meant the end of school with exams again, plans for trips to the beach, farewell to friends, and gradu- ation. While the year’s cruise had left some bruised and battered, most felt the trip had been exciting. The adven- tures had been memorable. Making and selling hoggies is a big part in band member’s life.
