Without them our daily life is drudgery. Who can face football practice in the August heat without dreams of victory? Or six tough classes with- out hope of success? Or morning band prac- tice without visions of trophies? Or working an eight hour shift and going to school with- out dreams of graduation? Ambition and as- pirations move us through life. We, the stu- dent body of Altavista High School, know life has mountain tops among its offerings. We live upon the hillsides of Central Virginia and journey through the rolling countryside daily. Our trips take us into valleys as well. When school opened, we found our dreams distorted by fifty-five minute classes, no breaks, and report cards every six weeks in- stead of nine. But like the new middle school students adjusting to a new vista, we placed more value on spare time and found football and girls’ basketball games a convenient time to rendezvous. We studied hard and adjusted to changes in schedules. Our desire for suc- cess, victory, and satisfaction became our “alta vista.” We climbed many mountains before the year was over. We tumbled into the valleys more than once, but our dreams kept us steadfast. We trudged along, seeking our “alta vista”. The new Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders? No, just some of the senior powder puff cheerleaders trying to rally the fans for the seniors. Bruce Goldsmith, Joe Anthony, Joey Gray, Jon Belinski, David Tuck and Mike Weeks did a superb job and were the hit of the night. : _ hd we te . The Colonel Spirit caught up with John Steele.

Spirit was high for the Gretna game and classes showed their support by entering the cheerleaders’ banner contest. Judith Walker exhibits one of the winning banners made by some freshmen while Lori Lane, Lisa Payne, and Patti Smith look on. The contest gave students a chance to voice their opinion of the Hawks as well as show how imaginative and artistic they could be. Opening 3 Baring Good Times How many times did we want to quit? With poor grades and difficult assign- ments weighting down our shoulders, shrugging off burdens and spotting the highlights was often hard. But in the end the good times seemed to prevail. Halls and lunchrooms always had an echo of laughter even though there were math problems to digest and lunches to deci- pher. Our athletes knew as much defeat as victory, but never did they fail to give all they had 4 Oper ng At the beginning of what we knew would be a long climb, we set goals high with every intention of reaching them. We experienced the agony of defeat, the de- pression brought by low marks, and the anguish of too much to do and not enough time. But through determination we read all the newspapers for government panel, finished the book just in time to write a report, and had time to see the girls’ bas- ketball teams beat Brookeville. Yes, the good times did prevail! Assembling a collage in art class, Mrs. Weinert and Andrea Campbell stop for a moment and smile for the photographer Number please!

Opening 5 Student Life Who can forget the rushed rendezvous at the lockers between classes, cursing the absence of breaks, or the hopeful glance at the clock on the wall, wistfully waiting for the sound of the bell? Who won't have fond memories of all the weekends spent cruising town, meeting friends, and savor- ing every moment before Monday morn- ing blues or the inevitable sweaty-palmed nervousness that accompanied report cards (especially six times a year!)? And who won't cherish that precious, meaning- ful glance from that special guy from across the lunchroom? Certainly we won't, for we will hold these memories and many others dear for- ever. The years pass but none of us will forget the ups, and downs, the good and the bad the student life.

Student Life 7 Dance Outshines Game Loss The loss of the homecoming game to the Appomattox Raiders did not spoil our fun. The half-time show, with the crowning of Queen Delene Cox and King Joey Gray, captured the crowd’s attention. As the band formed an arcade along the fifty yard line, class attendants crossed the field. Principal John Erb crowned the court composed of: seniors — Julie Camp- bell and Rhonda Chalmers; juniors Tina Tucker and Jill Taylor; sophomores Bonnie Adams and Michelle Cook; freshmen Leslie Holland and Lauri Lane. Meanwhile, the cheerleaders with the help of other students decorated the old Lining up for offense, the Colonels put up a hard fight against the Appomattox Raiders Decorating for homecoming, Stephen Campbell and Jeff Chapman help Michelle Garner Dancing to TNT are Bertha Thornhill and date Tony Taylor.

As the dance ended, all the excitement remained as memories with flowers, nap- kins, and pictures taken by Mr. Jim Fun- derburk making a night to remember.

Ath- letes, coaches, parents, and boosters gath- ered at the National Guard Armory on May 20, 1981, to honor all athletic teams. Mr. Dennis Toney, athletic director, wel- comed guests and emced the annual ban- quet. Mr. Harold Drumheller, former coach and principal, gave the invocation. Following the buffet dinner, coaches presented awards. The highlight of the night was the recognition of the girls’ ten- nis team which went all the way to state and the boys’ basketball team which won the Seminole District. Receiving top honor of the night, the R.J. Edwards award, were Micah Moon for football and boys’ basketball and LeAnne Williamson, girls’ basketball. Two special presentations were part of program. The Exchange Club, which oper- ates the concession stand, gave a donation to the athletic department representing profits for the season. Mr. Toney recog- nized Mr. Bill Ferguson for his outstand- ing service to the school and work with the boosters. He received the Colonel Club Award. Receiving the R.J.

Sports Banquet 11 The drum section keeps the rhythm and beat of the marching band steady as demonstrated here during a performance at City Stadium in Richmond Practice is a main ingredient in making the New South Regiment one of the best bands around. Full band morn- ing rehearsals were followed by sectional practices in the afternoon. (center) = Performing at City Stadium, Richmond, gives the marching band a chance to demonstrate its talent Practice for performances began in August when Mr Robert Yoder, rifle instructor James Madison University; Miss Deborah Bray, Tunstall flag in- structor; Mr. John Gardner, student VPI; Mr Larry Davidson, band director Tunstall High School; and Mr. Tim Bray, drum line instructor Tunstall High School, came to assist the New South Regiment in preparing for a better season. (bottom) re a” rere 4 Pe, Practice Makes Perfect Brrring! Brrring! The familiar ring of the al arm clock warned marching band members it was time to be up and out for field practice. Seven a.m. was early, but they wanted the best band around. And why not? After all, the marching band had adopted a new name, The New South Regiment, to coincide with competitions as well as new, colorful uniforms. So, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, the New South Regiment marched for an hour’s practice before school. “Practice makes perfect” proved true on September 29 when the regiment trav- eled to the Virginia State Fair in Rich- mond. Performing in Class A competition, The brass section does its part in making the march- ing band a success. Drum major Lewis Clark directs the brass section during a performance. they captured first place in drum line, and color guard; second place in band, and drum majors. Their hectic schedule gained momentum as Saturdays were filled with hoagie sales, car washes and trips to Tun- stall, Elon N.C., Roanoke, and finally to East Tennessee State for the Marching Bands of American Competition in No- vember. Then the pace quickened with the Christmas parades in early December. Although competitions were major events, the band also enlivened football games at half-time transforming the field into a spectrum of color. A rainbow, bal- loons, flags, drum solos, and trumpet fan- fares captured the attention of football fans. The hard work and dedication of the New South Regiment gained the respect and admiration of all who saw them per- form. The high goals they had set for themselves were met with success. The drum majors’ directing of the band is essential to keep the music smooth and flowing as Bud Barbour demonstrates here. Proudly displaying one of the trophies won at the Virginia State Fair is Mr. Leonard Crocker, band director.

Was it the math classes like alge- bra and geometry? Maybe the English and foreign languages? Or was it the govern- ment and history classes that all juniors and seniors were required to complete? It looks as if Jamie West is enjoying building a robot as his art project. Seventh graders had nine weeks of art and practiced drawing, painting, and constructing projects displayed in the library. A Favorite Time Of Day According to some students, lunch held the number one spot at being the favorite time of the day. Lunch time was the time when students could share experiences and gossip with friends and not have to worry about paying attention. Some students, however, place the end of sixth period as the time of day, when going home was the primary goal in most minds. Whatever the favorite time of day, students found some time for fun, while keeping goals in view. Many juniors and seniors hold down a part-time job in addition to school. Cindy Manuel and Phyllis Ma- son take orders at the new Mc Donald’s which opened during the first week of December. (bottom left) Student Life 15 ‘50’s = °80’s? Bobby socks, penny loafers, and button- down oxford shirts, crew neck sweaters and knickers the '50’s? No, the °80’s. These fashions have shown up once again. Like fine wines and cheeses these styles have not grown old, just better. We added our own bit of pizzazz with monograms, curly perms, and the overall “preppy” look. The famous blue jeans NEVER wore out; they moved into high fashion. Levis have always been on top, but now they have to compete with Klein, Jordache, and Vanderbilt. In Colonial Times men wore knickers. Now in the twentieth century women have taken over the fash- ion. Marie Martin and Tina Tucker show off their fashionable knickers which were popular female at- tire for cold winter months Can he do it? Paul Simmons attempts to solve the well-known puzzler Rubik's cube. This cube is seen every where, on key chains and tee-shirts. While the world record for solving the puzzle is a quick 23 seconds, there are others who are still trying! To make the puzzle more interesting people began to create designs of their own, for example the checker- board Everybody wants Calvin Kleins? Designer jeans were a popular item in the teenage wardrobe. Maybe not Kleins, but Jordache, Vanderbilt, or Sasson. Both girls and boys find it fashionable. Hair styles have made quite a turn since the bouf- fant. Now girls wear French braids. Beth Rogers, Andrea Glidewell, and Laurel Shreve were among the underclassmen who showed their interest in this style. Now that Altavista has A.J. Skatew orld, skating has become a favorite past time. Students not only skated on weekends but during their spare time on week- days. Atari at school? It can’t be! Rather it is Mr. Smith’s computer games. Terek Farmer, Greg Bell, and Stacy Mitchell try their skill at outsmarting the elec- tronic wiz. Fads And Fashion 17 World Events Local Concern Being tucked away in a small central Virginia town didn’t stop us from being interested in world affairs. Each night when our paper came we settled down to read the news with anticipation and ... Who could forget the royal wedding of the century? Surely not those of us who awakened to the sound of trumpets at 4:00 a.m. Or the words, “I, Ronald Wilson Reagan, ...” as a new president rose to power. For at least a few days of 1982, it was possible to believe that the world could once again be peaceful. But history pro- vides a series of random accidents and un- expected turns that brought an assassina- tion attempt on our president and Pope John Paul II, the untimely death of Egypt’s Anwar Sadat, and the return of the American hostages from Iran. The events shocked and dismayed us as we flipped on the T.V. to see for ourselves that it was so. 1982 marked changes in state politics. Virginia’s first Democratic governor in sixteen years was elected. Many students worked during the guber- natorial election making calls and passing out leaflets at the polls. Phyllis Mason, a volunteer for Chuck Robb’s winning team, received a coveted invitation to his Inau- guration and Ball. In our district, Alta- vista area attorney Bill Beeton was elected to the House of Delegates. We had no trouble getting our views on issues relayed to the state legislature. But the trials and tribulations of inter- national terrorism and local politics didn’t overshawdow the lighter side of life. We still rehashed the slam-dunks of Ralph Sampson and marveled at the success of basketball at U.Va. following each of their games. And at 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday we raced home for the start of day- time's 1 drama - General Hospital. Anwar Sadat, one of the most powerful Middle East rulers, was gunned down while reviewing troops. Sa- dat was an important ally of the United States. Stunned by this act of terrorism, students and faculty checked T.V.s to see the replay, hoping the news wasn lt so Mayor Donald Holland and Governor Elect Chuck Robb talk during a compaign stop in Alta- vista 18 Current Events Every four years there is an election. For this recent one several students were tapped to campaign. Their involvement included handing out pamphlets and phoning registered voters urging them to go to the polls. Ronald McDonald, friend of all, led the Christmas parade and then retired with his fans including Susan Campbell for feasting and fun. Not only do they stop in after a parade but after games and school. McDonald’s is another local hangout. Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married at St. Paul’s Cathedral on July 29, 1981. The ceremony was viewed by millions throughout the world including both students and faculty. Our local Lane Company sent the royal couple a chest for a wedding gift. General Hospital mania swept the country as people everywhere dropped everything and rearranged schedules to catch the show each afternoon. While soaps used to be associated with bored housewives, a new audience ranging from students to young execu- tives were caught in the shows’ fast-paced mixing of love tramas with murder, mystery, action and adven- ture. Current Events 19 Wheeling To New Vistas With not many places to go on the week- ends, crusing from one end of Main Street to the other has been a favorite pastime for Altavista students for years. Our little town has grown considerably in the past few years with new places to go and cruise around. With the newly acquired skating rink and Long John Silver’s we now have more places to enjoy and haunt as a part of our weekend activities. Besides gathering at the usual spots, there are the tennis and basketball courts at the park. Students gather at the parks after school for a few games before going home to tackle homework. By December we even had a McDon- ald’s to add to our expanding town. With the town growing very rapidly the students grew and changed as well as the hangouts.

Hangouts 21 A Memorable Evening Prom Rocks With Windfall “Prom was a memorable evening,” mused Debbie Osborne. “I had an exciting time.” added Cathy Overstreet. Robin Rolfe piped in, “The decorations and prom itself were special. The waterfall backdrop made me think of Hawaii.” The theme of Together highlighted the unity felt by the classes of °81 and °82 as we gathered together for our last big fling. The hours spent selling magazines and Christmas ornaments to raise money seemed worthwhile especially when we 2 Prom gathered in the gym.

Prom 23 i Nuntius — A Nonstop Job Over the summer four members of the Nuntius staff attended a yearbook work- shop at Roanoke College where activities for yearbook week were planned. When school opened, ads totaling $2800 had been sold and plans had been made for the format of this book. Yearbook week rolled around the last of September. A Powder Puff football game between junior and senior girls started the activities. On the second day a Hairy Leg Contest with male faculty contestants took place at 8 a.m. Can we ever forget Mr. Smith’s sleezy entrance? A tacky dress contest for students and faculty concluded the activities. Boy, did Mr. Lange surprise us with his outfit! Yearbook week ended with an assembly in which “the Reverend Ernest Hainsley” urged all sisters and brothers to purchase their 1982 Nuntius. His remarks were tak- en to heart as 500 committed to purchase “Reverend Ernest Hainsley,” better known as Greg Pribble, urges brothers and sisters to purchase the 1982 Nuntius. a Nuntius in the week that followed. Then the staff began the long trek to- wards meeting four deadlines. The dark- room finally got in gear with teams work- ing during class and after school. Photog- raphers met each Tuesday morning for weekly assignments. Color pages, a new venture, were sent to the publisher first. Not until March could editor-ih-chief Cheryl Childress relax as final proof pages rolled in for approval. By then it was time to begin thinking about spring sports pic- tures for the 1983 Nuntius and the non stop job of school coverage.

Nuntius 25 JA, Paper Hectic Stations Learning the responsibility of running a business and a trade is not an easy job, but can make the difference in the future world of work. Students taking part in Ju- nior Achievement and “The Orange Ex- press’’, our newspaper, learned how a busi- ness operates and how to operate a busi- ness. With the council of Mr. Larry Hunley and Mr. Wesley Osborne the students of J.A. made barettes and magazine racks. They attended a spaghetti supper where they got orders for these products. Elected officers received a set salary of $4.00 a month while the regular workers made 40 cents an hour. It was the job of Elizabeth Eubanks, Lisa Reaves and Mitsy Witt as- semble hair barretts, one of the money making items J.A. made lt Newspaper the secretary-treasurer to keep the books and the bank account. She also had to write the checks. The “Orange Express” printed four edi- tions, one at the beginning of school — a welcome back edition, one on Valentine’s Day, a St. Patrick’s Day copy, and the last edition honoring graduating seniors. With the help of Mrs. Helen Goldsmith, advi- sor, and Kevin Owen, editor, the “Orange Express” recorded events of student life and opinions of students such as the heart messages in the February paper. Patti Foster and Robbie Duff put finishing touches on their hair barretts. J.A. workers met faithfully every Monday from 6 til 8 p.m. Advisors Larry Hunley, and Wes Osborne show Eli- zabeth Eubanks and Troy Brown how to construct magazine racks, one of the products manufactured by J.A. workers Editor Kevin Owen plans the layout for pages of the Advisor Mrs. Helen Goldsmith instructs Susan Stei- March issue of the newspaper.

J.A. 27 Officers Broaden Contacts While many of us enjoyed our summer vacation swimming, dancing, and visiting out-of-town, the SCA began its work. Meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Goldsmith, parents of Bruce Goldsmith, SCA president, the officers discussed activities for the student body, as well as new responsibilities for officers to give the president daily contact with the student body. Bruce announced the school agenda every morning over the intercom. He discussed with Mr. Erb ideas to benefit students and also announced plays at home football games while vice-president Greg Pribble announced plays at home basketball games. Both Bruce and Greg served on the faculty advisory council. Along with additional officer duties, the school store moved to the second floor in D 204, and the suggestion box was trans- ferred to Mr. Booker’s office. Another change terminated homeroom representa- tives. Class officers were substituted, so PSOSCA the governing body of SCA was composed of them and SCA officers. Several socials were sponsored by the SCA. In October a Halloween dance was held. As an option students wore costumes. In December, a Christmas dance for which students donat- ed canned goods for the food shelter as part of their admission brightened the holiday. The SCA also sponsored dances after football games and for the Middle School. In May, elections for new officers took place followed by an induction cere- mony to swear them in. On its third year, the school store is still making a lot of profit. Its new location in room D 204 allows for ample space for additional supplies. Purchasing items from employees Karen Ogden and Crystal Myers are Rodney Hogue and Sylvester Toller. At one of the dances sponsored by the SCA, couples Amanda Shelton and Keith Treadway, Cindy Kelly and Tony Wade, and Mrs. E.H. Lane III and Bruce Goldsmith enjoy the slow pace of the music. A new task for SCA vice president Greg Pribble is to announce players for home basketball games. Waiting here for the judging of the best costume at the Halloween Dance sponsored by the SCA are Michelle Payne, Bonnie Adams and Kaarin Sitterd- ing. The winners of the contest were Rusty Dalton and Carolyn Booker disguised as the Fruit of the Loom gang. One of the many new changes made by SCA officers was for the president, Bruce Goldsmith, to announce the school agenda each morning. SCA 29 Hard Work Brings Reward Ten gold tassels stood out among the crowd of seniors on graduation day. Who were the proud bearers? Members of the National Honor Society. Along with the ten senior members, seven new members were added at an induction ceremony held on November 17. These candidates had met qualifications in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Parents and friends were invited to the ceremony and reception that followed. With Mrs. Virginia Clark as sponsor, National Honor Society members got into full swing. Senior me mbers sold Christmas wrapping paper. During the second and third weeks of December, a Christmas basket was prepared for a needy family. In the spring, NHS members visited Leading fellow NHS members in, president Kirk Irby is followed by vice-president Chery! Childress The audience, made up of parents and friends of new members, was asked to stand as the procession of senior members followed by new inductees marched down the aisle National Hor r Society Camelot nursing home. Although the visit was short, both students and patients en- joyed it. Also in the spring, NHS members went to the Special Olympic s to act as “huggers” to the participants. This was an opportunity for students to see how others who may have mental or physical handi- caps can overcome them and lead produc- tive lives. Being a member of the National Honor Society was an honor and a privilege. As stated by one member, “It was a goal longed for, and worth the time and efforts exerted to attain it.” Carefully pinning on Alan Paternoster’s first year ribbon, Johnna Fariss is assisted by Alison Steele, Ribbons and certificates were used as outward sym- bols of membership in National Honor Society. Deciding what to cat is new member, Alan Paternos- ter with friends Mark Brumfield, Kirk Krantz, Will Wilson, Ricky Merritt, and Ricky Ellinger. Mrs. Vir- ginia Clark, NHS sponsor, supplies more food as members Alison Steele, Thalia Robinson, Johnna Fariss, and Crystal Moorefield assist. New members of National Honor Society are sit- ting: Kim Arthur, Lenette Tucker, and Wendy Dot- son; standing: Philip Protz, Alan Paternoster, Jimmy Yeatts, and Angie Campbell. Explaining the importance of strong character is Barbara Willey. Along with academic excellence members also had to qualify in the areas of leader- ship and service. Lighting her candle, a symbol for scholarship, is Susan Steiger as Mr. John Erb, Mrs. Virginia Clark, and Kirk Irby observe the ceremony.

Students taking vocational courses drew posters, wrote slogans or essays depicting the theme “Vocational Education Keeps America Working”. At the FHA Spring banquet, an induction ceremony is held for new officers: Kay Anthony, vice president (elect); Cindy Burch, vice president; Marlo Hender- son, president (elect); Jan Deese, president; Rachel Dudley, reporter; Gloria Dalton, chaplain; and Karen Cothran, treasurer. Forming Life’s Attitudes Future Homemakers of America got under way developing attitudes toward liv- ing at the annual leadership meeting at William Campbell High School. Members listened to Mrs. Barbara Litton, a repre- sentative from the March of Dimes Asso- ciation, who showed a film about the lives of handicapped youth and introduced the 1981 March of Dimes Poster Child. Marlo Henderson, president of FHA and vice president of FHA Federation, attended the meeting with thirty-nine members of the chapter. In December, FHA held a Christmas tea for parents, teachers, and invited guests at which refreshments were served. In the spring, a Parent-Member Banquet was held. Degrees and awards were presented, and skits were given de- picting values stressed in FHA meetings. Looks as if Tina Patterson has her hands full of “I love you’s”, but she doesn’t know which to put on. The flowers were distributed by FHA members to commemorate Valentine’s Day. FHA activities ended with Nutrition is Nifty, a project to help students make wise food choices for optimum health. While this group was at work, Students Orga- nized for Developing Attitudes (SODA) helped sixth grade students develop healthy attitudes toward drugs and deci- sion making. Ms. Nancy Evans met with the fourteen SODA members, who con- sisted of mature juniors and seniors rec- ommended by the faculty, at Lunchburg General Hospital and trained them for a total of thirty hours. The members met with sixth graders at Altavista Elementary School every other Thursday for sixteen forty-five minute sessions. During these, values were discussed, kids played drug and alcohol attitude-related games and watched films.

Hi-Y 35 Slogans And Speeches Emphasize Education Week During the second week in February, vocational education was given special consideration. Throughout the week, voca- tional education students participated in poster and essay contests, and wrote slo- gans. On the final day an assembly was held and winners of the contests were an- nounced. Also at the assembly, Dr. Robert Moore, a guidance coordinator for the State Department of Education in South Carolina, came to speak to students on “The Spirit of the American Eagle.” He Pausing for a picture following the Vocational Edu- cation Assembly is Agnes Anderson. Mrs. Anderson is Chairperson for the advisory council on Vocational Educational stressed the importance of believing in oneself and having a purpose in life, doing everything possible to achieve a goal. He repeatedly emphasized the need to always try again no matter how many times a person may fail. Students left the assembly filled with determination to succeed and reach high goals. “The week of hard work has been worth the effort, just to receive Dr. Moore’s sound advice,” stated one voca- tional education student. Congratulating Buddy Frazier on his first place slo- gan for Vocation Education is Mr. John Erb. Other winners included Jamie Wilson, second place; Barry Smith, third place; and Lisa Adams and Teresa Bai- ley for honorable mention. Preparing to meet students following the vocational education assembly is Dr. Robert Moore with Mrs. Doris Cocke. Dr. Moore was guest speaker from South Carolina who gave advice on successful career goals to students attending the assembly.

This was the plea heard by almost every student and teacher as band and club members set high goals for raising money for trips. Dif- ferent sales techniques were used in a struggle to sell flowers, hoagies, soap, can- dles, magazines, wrapping paper, fruit, cheese, and sausage. However, selling was only the first step. The products also had to be delivered and money collected.

Raising funds for club trips did not fill all of students’ time. When Halloween ar- rived, a dance was held and imaginations came to life as characters like Donald Duck provided entertainment and laughs. Everyone knows that all good things must come to an end. So, students kept their hopes and goals in view as they set- tled down to classes and homework. Prac- tice was stressed in sports, band and dra- ma as members prepared for tournaments, concerts, and the annual school play. Goals were met with success as the year remained a balance of hard work mixed with fun. All classes put eight weeks of effort into raising money for MS. The efforts were well worth it as Altavista High School won first place and was treat- ed to a dance by WJJS D.J.’s. Preparing hamburger for a spaghetti dish occupies Julie Peake and Tammy Cox.

All In A Day’s Work The irritating ring of the alarm clock summoned us from a peaceful sleep into the cold reality of another school day. Dragging ourselves out of bed, we began the same dull process of getting to the bus stop in time. However, our problems were only be- ginning as we finally arrived at school after a seemingly endless ride. We endured first period, but we repeatedly had to keep our minds from wandering to more inter- esting things like the opposite sex, food, the end of the day, and the weekend! Finally lunchtime. Thirty glorious min- utes of free time to eat lunch, talk to Seventh grader Jamie West finishes his art project of building a robot which was displayed in the library.

Our conso- lation — half the day was over. During sixth period the clock was the focal point of our gaze. The minutes ticked by slowly, until finally only five minutes separated us from the freedom longed for all day. The awaited ring was accompa- nied by shouts of laughter as we hurried to our lockers for the last time of the day. Gratefully the school day was over. Now we could concentrate on other goals, at least until tomorrow?! Asking a question about an assignment in art is Terri Dalton, as others continue to work. Art provided a wide range of activities such as drawing, painting, and creating paper mache figures. Student Life 43 Weekends Were Made For... It was a Friday which meant we were all, students and teachers alike, preparing for the weekend. Would this weekend be something special? We hoped so, especial- ly after waiting all week. So on Friday afternoon, we all rushed home to start our weekend. After all, there was no sense in putting things off. Some of us filled our weekends with shopping. It seemed there was always something that caught our eye while browsing from store to store. One of our favorite places was River Ridge Mall in Lynchburg, where the choices seemed almost limitless. However, not all of us spent our free- time spending money. Some seemed to en- joy spending time outdoors, riding bicy- cles, playing ball, or when it happened to snow, snowball fights and skiing were pop- ular. A few of us were not quite so free as part-time jobs kept us busy on weekends, we grudgingly put in those hours, all the while seeing that wonderful paycheck with our name on it. Let us not forget all of those wonderful The magic of Prom night, a special highlight of the spring semester, is not lost on Terri Dalton and Bob Layne, Randy Haley and his date, and an unknown couple Friday and Saturday nights we spent on dates. They were the highlight of any weekend, since no two dates seemed ever to be the same. With the car at our dispos- al, after getting parental permission, of course, there were limitless places we could go. We had the choice of skating, movies, bowling, or just cruising around town. Whatever we chose to do on the week- end, we usually had a good time. Monday morning always seemed to arrive tdo soon. However, our sights were set on Friday, when once again another weekend would be ours. It was our goal to make weekends something to be remembered as a time of fun, a time away from school, and espe- cially as a time that would carry us through until the next weekend. Who but Ricky Hutcherson, Wendy Miles, and Brad Barnes would spend their Staurday mornings ham- ming it up making hoagies? Band members had the task of making and delivering hoagies to add to the band treasury. Acting in a performance of the Little Theater play, “My Three Angels” are Bobby Hull, Davis Powell, and Betty Haywood. In addition to Mr. Powell, other members of the school “family,” Greg Pribble and Mr. Steven Farthing, took an active part in little theater production. Playing a game of football, Deborah Birch and Sara Jane Brubaker celebrate the end of a successful J. V. basketball season.

Among the best to most of us were the days before Christmas vacation when fourth period was the last class of the day. How about the times when school opened late because of bad weather and we had an extra hour to sleep! Field trips were also anticipated. The juniors went to Williamsburg, FHA vis- ited other schools, home economics classes checked out local retailers, advanced biol- ogy students journeyed outdoors to the creek. Taking a break from tennis practice to get ice cream are Kristi Davis, Stephanie Holland, Donna Tyler, Judith Walker, and LeAnne Williamson. During the spring months, the girls’ tennis team spent long hours practicing forehands, backhands, and serves. (top left) Unfortunately, there were those days when we wondered why we ever bothered to get out of bed, times when everything seemed to go wrong. We were late for school; we had a fight with our best friend; our homework just happened not to get completed the night before, or we had a test we had forgotten all about. We took it all in our stride, however, always looking ahead to that day, in the future when we would graduate and leave our school days behind. We would always remember those days, both the good ones and the bad ones, the uneventful days and the exciting ones. Waiting in line to view a movie about colonial life and people are Jill Taylor and Elizabeth Eubanks. The junior class spent a day in Williamsburg compar- ing Colonial times to modern society.

To reach the top and meet our goals, we knew we some how had to meet the expectations of our teachers. But all knowledge could not be found in books so, by working with others, our education expanded. Other di- mensions reached us. In the end we had covered another milestone of life and knew we were better individuals then when we started out actually only a few short months ago.

He has awesome responsibilities overseeing school pro- grams, finances, staff employment and su- pervision. Sharing administrative responsibilities, assistant high school principal Mr. Charles Booker gained not only admiration for be- ing an assistant but also for his height. He disciplined students and gave them advice. During his leisure time he read profession- al journals, painted, and coached sand-lot athletic teams. He enjoys watching profes- ® sional football and college basketball. Busy checking the audiometer record, Mrs. Kathleen Hunley supervises the main office. She answers the phone, relays messages, and serves as bookkeeper and secretary for Mr. John Erb. Other than his job, he was also working on the restoration of his 1963 Corvair con- vertible. A trip upstairs brought us in touch with Mr. John Lange, our new middle school principal. Widely accepted, Mr. Lange’s sense of humor, friendliness, and charm made him an instant success. Of the stu- dent body he said, ““They’re all good-look- ing, friendly, and willing to work with me.” He felt accepted as part of the Colonel family and showed his involvement early as coach of the junior powderpuff team. His blue tennis shoes and coat and tie became a trademark. His spe cial interests are woodworking, home improvement, family recreation, jogging, and animals. He also likes cutting wood saying it is ex- cellent therapy for relief of mental and physical tension. Always in a good mood, Mrs. Carolyn Hogue works at her desk.

Students also went to the library to search in vain for a book short enough to read in one night. “Can you help me find a book?” “Oh, no! I forgot my library number!” These were familiar cries heard as students en- tered the library. Once again students had to use library numbers to check out books. The automatic checkout system kept things running smoothly and cut down on the number of lost books.

Learning was enhanced with notebooks packed with notes, viewing filmstrips and reading. Tenth and eleventh grade students in Mrs. Ora Blanks’ English classes had fun learning vocabulary words through daily presentations. They also had to read 1800 pages per semester for book reports and learn basic grammar. Students enrolled in Latin classes got a real surprise when they met Mr. Stephen Farthing.

They did translations and learned of the contributions of Caesar and Circero to the language. Third year students stud- ied Ovid’s Ars Amatoria and also Italian. In Miss Nancy Aker’s Spanish classes vocabulary tests were a must. Students studied grammar and learned to pro- nounce new words and about Spanish life and history. Students listened to tape reels, did work sheets, and watched films that dealt with life in Spain. They also sang Spanish folk, country and modern songs as part of their study of the Spanish speaking people. Deep in though Scott Wade reads a book for English class.

To some it was, “Uggh, my worst class of the day” to others, “I love it; the teacher makes it so interesting.” And it is the teacher who can make or break a class. In chemistry Mr. Kim McKenzie, a newcomer, really worked hard to make his class a fun and interest- ing learning experience. For Mrs. Shirley Cothran’s eighth graders the same rule ap- plied. Mrs. Cothran’s creative ideas of making hats to represent simple machines and baking and decorating cakes in the form of elements were big successes, espe- cially when it was time to eat the cakes. Advanced Biology got off to a slow start by taking earth samples and completing lots of classwork, but later came the dis- sections. The same applied to the regular biology classes since the dissections of the higher forms of life like clams, star fish, squid, sheeps’ eyeballs and hearts didn’t come until after Christmas.

To aid the basic knowledge of how gov- ernment “runs”, government classes took trips to the General Assembly in Rich- mond and vistied the Circuit Court in Rustburg to see a criminal case tried. They also played the weekly game called Panel. Reading newspapers may not have been fun, but in the long run it paid off when knowing the answers to current event questions improved grades. History classes saw films, answered questions, and had current events weekly. American History classes toured Wil- liamsburg to see what Colonial America was like.

Calculus provided a challenge to college bound, advanced math students who learned the concepts of logic, complex numbers, sequences, series and matrices. Trig kept students busy learning linear equations, circular functions, tan and sin problems, and polar and linear graps. Cal- culators were a blessing in disguise for problem solving. Geometry students had fun learning the pythagorean theorem, how to calculate the radius of a circle and- how to solve a proof. In algebra, graphs, systems of linear equations, quadratic, ra- tional and irrational equations dominated students time.

Home economics opened career oppor- tunities are food preparation, sewing, and child care. Need a job? Students of I.C.T., Indus- trial Cooperative Training, looked for jobs and learned business skills. These classes trained prospective employees in filling out tax forms, applications, and other job related activities. While business classes offered some of the same skills as I.C.T., typing, account- ing sheets, and shorthand occupied stu- dents class time and thoughts. The offerings of this entire department helped students learn about future jobs and careers and obtain skills necessary to run their personal lives efficiently.

We had exactly five min- utes to run all the way across the school and into the gym; precisely three more minutes to change into shorts, tee shirt, athletic socks and tennis shoes. Then it was out to the gym floor for warm-up exer- cises: jumping jacks, windmills, and don’t forget suicides — yuck! Finally, panting and sweating, we finished. No sooner had we dropped to the floor than the teacher’s voice came ringing across the room, Caught in the act!

This year was no different. The Colonels were only beaten by one team in the Seminole Dis- trict, Brookville, which put them in an honored second place. To add to the team’s overall standings, three records were broken. With the help of good weather, Ray Tucker met a goal he had trained vigorously for by breaking the pole vault record with a height of 13°4 .

Showing his versatility, Chris Merritt jumps into the sand pit. ) Getting height before he goes over the bar is Kyle Goldsmith A good start is very important to a track runner as shown by Ricky Merritt. Setting the pace for the pack, Micah Moon com- mands the lead while Barry Rucker and Chauncey Clark puff out steam striding for a winning slot against William Champbell. Striding to victory, Micah Moon crosses the last hurdle with Joey Gray pulling up a strong second. Boys’ Track 75 Showing their determiniation, Desseare Farmer and Margo Rice “push it to the limit”, in trying to pass a Lady General. For the first time in almost a decade, AHS had a girls’ track team which had a regular season record of 3-1 Spring sports and Colonels go together like pepsi and pizza as the golf and girls’ track teams proved. Girls’ track came back strong after being absent for several years. Breaking records and winning meets became habit as exhibited in numerous events. Dessearae Farmer, Margo Rice, Janice Payne, and Bertha Thornhill com- bined efforts to break the 400 relay record with a time of 52.9 seconds. The 800 relay record was also broken with a time of 1:50.9 by Margo Rice, Janice Payne, Bertha Thornhill and Magdalene Jones. The mile record was broken by the deter- mination of Susan Steiger. Contrary to what most people believed, track consists of more than just running events as Cor- etta Organ proved by breaking the discus record and Dessearae Farmer proved again by breaking the long jump record. 76 Gurls’ Track —— Teamwork Key Factor Jenny Hecht shows that running is not all there is to track.

The girls made a good showing in the district being victors over Appomattox, Nelson, and Jefferson Forest. Throughout the season teamwork and spirit lead them on. The golf team was consistent too. A good showing was made by the five-man team which placed first in the district and only losing to Heritage the entire season. When Mark Boley was asked what attrib- uted to the victorious season, he answered, “Danks Burton’s leadership ability was an important factor, but the team members seemed to have some sort of adhesion that kept them working toward the same goal.” In spite of track and golf being classi- fied as individual sports, these two teams of successful athletes proved teamwork was an important factor in setting winning traditions. As Coach Freddie Ryan watches, Coretta Organ demonstrates her high jump form. She posted a school record of 4°6 Showing good form by following his shot is David Brockwell.

They attained a spot in the district finals by defeating arch-rival Gretna, 4-0 in twelve innings. In the finals, however, they lost to a tough Appomattox team, 4-0. The season began with a win over Brookville. The team then ran into trouble as they lost their next five games, but evened their record at 5-5 with four con- secutive wins, two coming in extra innings. The regular season closed with an 8-8 re- cord.

Improvements Accent Season Again the valleys outnumbered the peaks, as the softball team ended its season with a 1-12 record. Improvements, howev- er were a big part of the season. According to Coach Susan Callis, “We did come a long way from those first weeks of the season. Our scores did not reflect this, but believe me, these girls improved 100 per- cent from day one to the last day of the season.” She added, “Once the initial learning of rules, how to bat and field, and how to play on a team were accomplished, it was too late to help us do anything in the district.” The team was led by four returning players: Sheila Fox, Debbie Osborne, Lin- da Gill and Lisa Cook, the latter two being the only return starters and only seniors on the team. Along with Lisa Cook, the team’s pitching staff consisted of Beth Mattox and Sheila Fox. Beth led the team with the highest batting average, and Candi Ashby with Donna Kirby were the most improved players. Special thanks went out to former Colonelette, Becky Burgess, who gave of her own time to help the softball team.

The team, under the supervision of Mr. Donnie Vaden, Mr. Wayne Owen, Mr. Paul Slusher, and Mr. Al Smith, won all of their meets and the district title by a large margin. During the season two records were broken: Kenneth Barbour in the mile and Joey Gray the high hurdles. Both coupled with other individual efforts added to team victories. Another team that did well and was new to the sports’ field was the cross-country team under the supervision of Mr. Al Smith. Led by Tom Belinski and Eddie Goad, they finished second in the district, losing only to Brookville. “The team did an excellent job, considering it was the first one in a long time,” replied Susan Steiger, the only girl on the team.

Some of the hard-hitters who led the defense were Robert Brubaker, Jeff Phillips, Jeff Chapman, and Will Wilson.

The team picked up another tie the following week, and then “it” finally came: their first win in 28 games, and it came against Liberty, 16-0. That was not the only win, as they de- stroyed William Campbell, 20-0. This win was significant, because former Altavista coach, Albert Randolph, coached the los- ing William Campbell Generals.

Under the leadership of Miss Rhonda Robinson, these varsity cheerleaders not only spent hours learning cheers and their move- ments, they also made banners, sold spirit ribbons, and flowers. They had a banner contest and decorated for homecoming. The squad purchased new uniforms and raincoats using funds raised from selling degreaser. They joined the girls’ basket- ball cheerleadets to participate in the Health Fair, October 3, for the Central Virginia Mental Health Ass’n. To go along with the fair’s theme “Go For It- Good Health,” the cheerleaders composed such original cheers at “The Beat of the Heart” and “Brush Your Teeth.” Not only was there a squad backing var- sity football, but also nine girls and a “gent” for the j.v.’s. These cheerleaders ( heerlcaders had one thing in common: they were all inexperienced. With the basketball season changed to fall for girls, only one j.v. squad was selected. The co-captains, displaying good lead- ership, were both freshmen — Andrea Glidewell and Kim Leach. Also John Steele joined Dawn Cothran, Hase O’Hara, Sun Yeon Kim, Dina Hollie, Shannon Melvin, Andrea Nichols, and Wen dy Miles to complete the squad. “These people worked very hard and learned that many hours of practice go into making a good squad,” replied Mrs. Nancy Wormuth, the J.V.’s_ sponsor. “They were also proud to be cheering for a team that won and tied some games for the first time in many years.” Giving a mighty cheer for their favorite team, J.V. cheerleaders, Hase O'Hara and Kim Leach, agonize with the crowd to cheer the team on.

There were times when the team worked so well together they could have been contenders for the Seminole District championship. But the times when there was a lack of cohesion between the players on the floor brought their downfalls. The season could be summed up as a faucet that ran hot and cold.

Basketball Cheerleaders 95 New Coach Ignites Rookies “An exciting new kind of basketball,” say some of the loyal fans who turned out to watch the beginning of a new era in Colonels’ basketball. “The Stu Richardson Show” hit the new gym like a tornado roaring over the Great Plains. Richard- son’s coaching experience and expertise showed through as the team fought to a 10-11 record and new status in the Semi- nole District. Highlighting the season was a big win over Lincoln Wood and his Rustburg tea, which was picked to be tops in the district. A late season upset of Appomattox was a thriller for the fans, as well as a final home win against the Brookville Bees. The team placed third in the Campbell County Christmas Tournament, fifth in the Semi- nole District, and fifth in the tournament. This “new” team was led by Seniors David Brockwell, Bruce Goldsmith, and Chauncey Clark; Juniors Frankie Point- dexter, and Donald Allen, and Sopho- mores Kenny Bond, Heath Clark, and Frankie West. Considering the supporting cast, “The Stu Richardson Show” will be a favorite in the future. “Superfly” Donald Allen demonstrates the soft touch that made him second leading scdrer on the team with an average of 9.9 points per game.

Both teams traveled together to and from games which gave them a closeness that wasn’t possible before. The j.v. team had the opportunity to watch the varsity play immediately fol- lowing their games. Coach Richardson and Coach Falls also contributed to this “oneness” by realizing how important the j.v. team is to the development of a good varsity squad. The competition was tough as reflected by the scorecard, but the JV Colonels nev- er let the fans down. There was always a sense of excitement in the air that resulted from the hard work put forth by the play- ers. The JV Colonels were hard workers with touch luck, losing five games by a total of only 13 points but gaining huge dividends in experience.

The team, consisting of two freshman, seven sophomores, one ju- nior and two seniors, played some strong games plus a lot of games which could have gone either way. The opening and closing were such.

Volleyball 101 | People New faces ruddy with youth, old faces creased by time, or those careworn by situ- ations the fortunate can’t imagine. All are part of our walk through the halls of life and school. Our peers may influence the roughness or smoothness of our roads, but the faculty most often guides us through the vistas we have difficulty trodding. What would life be without a friend to share the laughter or to offer a shoulder to cry on? In essence, what would living be without people to share and dream with?

People 103 Graduation Finally Arrives It seems as if it were only yesterday when we met each other in first grade at Altavista Elementary School. Remember going to the Planetarium in Chatham ev- ery year, and our field trip to the Natural Bridge Zoo. We went to the bottom to participate in Track and Field Day, and remember our own seventh grade gradu- ation. A small step considering what we face now, but then it was big stuff! Re- member how nervous and excited we felt, each of us leaving the safe little abodes of the elementary school to enter a new and more challenging atmosphere. The high school seemed so gigantic that at first we were overwhelmed. But as the days passed we made new friends, and felt comfortable in the library on the second floor, and learned not to expect too much from the cafeteria. These were just the first steps in Dedication is one thing, but staying after class to finish a physics lab is unusual, especially for Jon Belinski and David Brockwell.

But those responsibilities didn’t hold us back because we faced them. We grew smarter and more mature until ... finally we became SENIORS. Then we looked forward to reaching our twelve year goal of graduating. Ah, the good ‘ole days, the days at AHS. Miss Burnette announced ranking for seniors, and Cheryl Childress, Johnna Fariss, Susan Steiger, Ste- phen Dalton, and Jeff Phillips captured the first five slots.

Having enough money to buy a car or save for college or just to have some spending money is what every teenager seems to want. Through ICT, students could receive two credits for working and only have to take four classes.

Dale, one of the many seniors who works, is employed by Ronald Bond at Virginia TV and Appliance. in Altavista, while others found employ- ment in the short order food places and grocery stores. Susan Steiger, a working senior, said this about how working interfers with study time; “At times, work does interfere with school. My job usually conflicts with my extracurricular activities more than it takes away from my study time.

Well, they’re still here. But stu- dents bound for higher levels of education were more interested in advanced classes such as physics, calculus, Advanced Place- ment English, Advanced Chemistry, and Ad- vanced Biology. All these preparatory classes aided seniors in building a solid background for college. They were weighted because of their difficulty so if a student got a grade of “C”, he was given a value of “B”. When questioned about the practicality of these classes, Johnna Fariss said physics was “‘an interesting class that can be applied to every day life.” A.P. English was ‘a beneficial challenge” according to Stan West. Have advanced classes overtaken Susan Steiger? Seen here reading her physics chapter, Susan takes five ad- vanced classes which include calculus, biology, and chemistry. She is in the running for valedictorian. Drawing her friends attention, Cindy Kelly entertains Delene Cox, Julie Campbell, and Valerie Farmer while David Tuck supposedly ignores the girl talk and tries to do some reading.

Our religious preferences are basically Prot- estant as only six are Catholic. College draws fifty of us and business or trade school an- other eighteen. The military will shape up eleven while marriage lures twelve of us. If there were an election today, the Democrats and Republicans would split the vote, with the remaining few noncommitted along party lines. Despite a mobile society seventy-one of us have lived in the Altavista area all our lives.

Although we started making reservations for the beach in January, graduation time slipped up so soon. We paid for flowers, bought or made long dresses, practiced for hours so we could have our time in the spotlight. The two nights for class night were emotion packed. Our parents were proud as we stepped into view when our names were announced. We laughed at the skits and cried as we sang our farewell song. Could this really really be the begin- ning of the end?

Then Miss Nancy Akers’ words rang in our ears, “Mr. Erb, I present the Senior Class of 1982 who have met all requirements for graduation as prescribed by the Virginia State Board of Education. They now pre- sent themselves as candidates for a diplo- ma from Altavista High School. Will the class please stand.”’ As Mr. Jerry Boteler called our names, we shook hands with Mr. Erb and accepted our diplomas. After having Mrs. Andrew flip our tassels, we marched off the stage, graduates of Alta- vista High. Our “alta vista’’ had been at- tained. As valedictorian Susan Steiger closed the evening with her remarks, we realized high school was over. A new day awaited us.

She felt that if a student were puzzled in other areas, he wouldn’t listen to what she had to teach him about English. Word presentations played an impor- tant role in Mrs. Blanks’ classes. Students brought in objects or posters to help dem- onstrate their words. This way, the mean- ing of the word would stick in the minds of students.

For many, this meant passing from JV to varsity sports, getting a driver's license, and working at part-time jobs. Graduation being one short year away, juniors thought seriously about future edu- 120 Juniors cation and careers. This was the time to start making plans for college, to take Pre- liminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests, read college catalogues and discuss costs and opportunities with guidance counselors.

We vowed, just as every class before us, that ours would be the best prom ever! It took a lot of hard work and determination, but our special night was well worth it when we saw our work was a success! The class of ’83 didn’t stop with the prom.

What’s That? Free time for juniors was scarce. Breaks were a thing of the past for all students. There was little time for socializing. But when a free minute occurred, we wanted to relax and talk to that special someone. With classes being 55 minutes each, the half hour that we got for lunch was never abused.

Occasionally we were also found in the halls catching up on the latest gossip. { Put a little sunshine in your life. Donald Miller } enjoys a carton of orange juice during his lunch break.

The class of '83’s reputation for being remarkably active in extracurri- cular activites challenged the class of °84. So we set out to make our own mark aca- demically. Although we complained about tough classes and hours of homework, we rose to the challenge that sophomore slump can be beaten with hard work and determination. The sophomores struggled through book reports, word presentations and essays. ‘Et tu, Brute was also heard in the tenth grade English classes as we read Bonnie Adams Joseph Andrews Charlene Anthony Teresa Anthony Vicki Anthony David Arthur Candace Ashby Greg Bell Yvonne Bolen Mark Boley Robin Boley Kenneth Bond Dawn Brooks Melissa Brown Spencer Brown Robert Brubaker Randy Burnette Stephen Campbell Lisa Carr Heath Clark 126 Sophomores Julius Caesar, much to the chagrin of many students.

From the beginning, sophomores realized they were in for more than just the regular health class. They learned the consequences of drinking and driving, and the effects of their driving on others. One interesting chapter was about driving recreational ve- hicles, but the most exciting part came when they shut their books and headed for the driving range, where students realized the many aspects of driving. They discov- ered there was far more to maintaining an automobile than meets the eye. They learned how to fill a car with gas, check tires, lights, and oil. Then they encoun- tered railroad crossings, parking, and traf- fic lights. It was hard work, but the valid license made the work worthwhile. Go mighty Colonels!

Tests were considerably harder be- cause of the amount of material to be re- membered. But with the help of an exper- ienced biology teacher and fellow class- mates, the class of ’84 finished the year with high spirits knowing they had met a challenge and conquered it.

Among their favorite electives were Alge- bra I, Spanish I, home economics, art, band, and industrial arts.

Little perhaps except for three great people who made this year at Altavista their last. Miss Nancy Akers put 37 years of dedi- cated work into her classes. She worked closely with seniors, as one of their sponsors, and helped prepare so many of the entertain- ing class nights that ended each year with a bang. From her trips to Spain she told about the life style in different parts of the world. Students who took her classes rarely forgot their first learned phrase of “iCome esta Ud.?” Her early students remember her as their senior English teacher who stressed grammar as strongly as Chaucer, Shake- speare, and Milton. Another faculty member who set a winning example was Miss Kathleen Burnette. She, too, decided to retire after 35 years of service. Always there to lend a listening ear to stu- dents about career plans, personal problems, or just idol chit chat, Miss Burnette was cer- tainly a vital link in the guidance department. How many times she kept young minds mov- ing in the right direction! Although she spent her last dozen or so years as a guidance coun- selor, Miss “B” came to AHS as a p.e. teach- er and coached girls’ basketball teams as well. Mrs. Eunice Stott also ends her career at Altavista. While she taught ninth grade sci- ence most of her 28 years, she also taught home economics. In spite of the demands of classes, Mrs. Stott found time to sponsor the Tri-Hi-Y Club. That in itself has been a won- derful accomplishment. Mrs. Stott was a positive example for the many girls that have been members of this Christian organization. Yes, Altavista looses a great trio as this year ends. Their songs of praise have often gone unsung. In each, one could find a world of knowledge often not found in books; but, more important, in each, one could find a friend. For knowing and learning with these individuals, surely we ourselves are better in- dividuals.

But somehow almost every student found a way to squeeze enough time for the club of his interest. The organizations became a supporting outlet for many unique fields students wanted to investigate such as politics, astronomy, speaking, writing, and leadership development. These pages show the membership of the organizations while their activities are featured in the Student Life Section.

Clubs 177 Spring Days Complete Vista With the coming of spring, spirits warmed with the weather. Spring sports were off and running, climaxing with curi- osity as to who would receive the coveted R.J. Edwards Awards at the Sports Ban- quet. Days filled with preparations for MGA in Richmond, SAT’s, government trips to view county government in action, MUN at UVA and campaigning for SCA offices. We struggled and crammed for final ex- ams and the warm June air gave us “spring “You deserve a break today at McDonald's” ricnas After ball games students headed for our new hang out c with ends. Tom Belinski, Andy Mattox, Brown, Spencer W ¢ uth, and Lynn Myers grab a bite th Mike Weeks believes so as he finds a cozy corner and reserves Troy fever” and made us wish we had not missed days for snow and ice at the end of the first semester. But we pushed on, signed yearbooks, wished the seniors good luck, packed the gym for graduation and gladly surrendered our books. Summer was here and whether good or bad, the year had ended Taking a few minutes to relax as well as keep up on the news events for government is Danny O'Hara. Students found the library a comfortalbe, quite place to spend their lunch time Extracurricular activities, especially sports, are as important a part of student life as academics. Hustling in a defensive play against William Campbell is Heath Clark. Monkeying around? No, Stephanie Boaze is stencil- ing chimpanzees in art class. Students found this a creative way of forming many kinds of pictures. We’re number one! Robbie Brubaker and Spencer Brown get into some serious yelling. Sometimes the action got too heavy to take sitting down. Do I have to do this? Joe Andrew doesn’t seem as interested in finishing his class work as Bud Barbour. Hooded sweat shirts, like Joe’s proclaiming a favorite college team were popular attire and a common sight around school. Closing 179 Last Glance To Pomp And Circumstance One more year had come and passed. We had seen dreams become reality; we had seen some die. Juniors and seniors danced the night away and kissed the year good-bye on a glamorous prom night of ribbons and lace, tuxedos and tails. Seniors had the yearbook signing party they won and everyone looked to see how many times he could spot his own face among the pages of the year’s events. The choosing of friends and sib- lings for the candle lighting ceremony At the end of the day Chauncey Clark, Barry Rucker, and Mandi Shelton walk down the hall toward the exit, but turn for a moment to have their picture taken. Other seniors turned to look down a hall for ast glance at what they were about to leave of baccularate was a definite sign that the year was ending. The last day was inevitable even though at times it seemed beyond our grasp. And as we turned to take one last glance at “our” locker, “our” home- room, or “our’’ most hated classroom, not many could forget the thrill of next year when eighth graders would finally become high school students and every- one moved one step closer to his dream of graduation. For some this dream was reali ty as they walked down the isle to Pomp and Circumstance to receive a document that had taken twelve long years to tie the ribbon around and se- cure. As the tassel on our mortor boards finally switched from right to left, we switched scenery to begin a new way of life.
