NUNTIUS 1985 Bedford Avenue, Altavista, VA. 24517 Volume 58 Opening Student Life People Sports Academics Clubs Boosters Index Closing Challenges. Challenges were an everyday occur- rence for high school stu- dents. From the first day a seventh grader crossed the threshold of the school to the last day the graduating class exited the doors — each were crossing their own lines. These changes held many happy as well as sad mo- ments. From the first dance of the year to the spring sports banquet, each line that the students crossed was a new experience. Although many of these “‘lines’’ represented trying times, they built a cer- tain quality in each person, a quality that defines the difference between a child and an adult — the lines of growing up. Returning a shot is Mary Eubanks. A junior, she spends much of her free time playing tennis. She also enjoys swimming and skiing. Decorating the halls of school is varsity football cheerleader Dawn Cothran. The girls used the theme “Let’s Go Crazy” for their spirited opening day. With skirts flying and legs kick- ing, the flag corp performs one of their flashy routines. The girls were awarded a second place trophy in their competition held at Buena Vista. Opening 3 Seven classes! Do we have to take seven classes? That’s what students said when they started to make schedules for the 1984-1985 school year For some it was hard fo find seven classes, so they chose a study hall. But others found an opportunity to take subjects they couldn't have scheduled had there only been six per- iOds Taking a test, Tommy Vi Opportunities Pilot Program Expands Curriculum To Seven Period Day Audra Wood thought seven periods made the day seem more tiring. ‘‘But,”’ she said, “there’s nothing we can do about it.’ On the other hand, Cornelia Lee liked seven per- iods. “It gives me a chance to take more sujbects.”’ A few extra classes were added to give students more variety. A computer class was included to teach students to It’s time for lunchi! StucGents do programs. Third and fourth year foreign languages were guaranteed. Office Technique lasted one period instead of two, but the course study was enlarged. The high school and middie school bells were synchronzied. Also, Vo.

Many students chose to go to the library dur- ing study hall to read magazines or do re- search. Enjoying what little time they have before homeroom, middle school students socialize with friends or get homework done. With sev- en periods, there wasn’t a lot of free time.

What’s that? It was dating, going to games, cruisin’ town, playing in. the band, shopping in the mall, go- ing to the lake, skiing; parties, dances, jobs, and every day activities. What pressures stu- dents faced as.they..tried. to manage all these activities and succeed in’ academics, too. Parents placed demands. Teachers made requirements. And then. there. was. peer pres- sure. Dealing with peer pressure was one of the most difficult i y challenges that high school students faced. How they reacted to these. challenges reflected in their individual per- sonalities. The choice of who their friends were and who would accept them as their cronies. was.. just..one.. of..the many lines that high school stu- dents crossed: Another challenge was dealing with high school love. The. ups..and..downs..of .one‘s love life affected students academic” performance “as well as their personalities. Middle schoolers were glad to cross the line into high school where. they considered. them- selves more socially indepen- dent than when they were in middie school. Being a senior especially meant being ‘the best in. school’. Seniors. claimed to have everything under con- trol; but that ‘control’ some- times ran thin. Mixing relation- ships and activities brought students... face...to. face..with many issues. The big question: How to deal with each, to cross the line or not!

Relax, Write a let- ter, read a book, or turn on the soaps. Everyone had a hobby, be it breakdancing, photogra- phy, or sailing. These activities and many more were an ouflet for stu- dents aside from the extra- curricular activities offered after school. “| enjoy swimming. It helps me to relax and get my mind off school,’’ stated one stu- dent. Breakdancing not only be- came a popular fad but also a hobby for lots of students. Pop- ing, locking, the glide, the worm, and the wave set new trends in dancing. So whether students chose to spend their afternoons painting, or skiing down the slopes at Wintergreen, or sim- ply sleeping they always found ways to use their free time. One of the most accomplished breakdancers is E.J. Walker. His unique style has made him an attraction at dances. Along with the Michael Jack- son craze, breakdancing found its way South from the Bronx. Taking the plunge, Mark Henry enjoys swimming during his leisure time. Mark has been amember of the YMCA swim team for ten years.

Perhaps it is the high school marching band at practice! Under the direction of Mr. Ed- win Temples, the Altavista Marching Colonels performed at five competitions and five home football games. They worked on their spectacular field show all summer. Each person put in forty hours of his time in one week alone. In hot summer sun and chilling winter wind the band provided a half- time show. The featured songs were “Quejada’’ — opening number, “In the Stone’ — con- cert number, ‘Russian Sailor’s Dance” — drum solo, and “Let It Be Me” — finale. The marching band consist- ed of ninety people, ranging in age from twelve to eighteen. The parents of these people made up the Band Boosters, which raised the money for alll band functions. They man- aged the Altavista Trade Lot to pay for the show which cost over $10,000 for a single sea- son. There were also hoagie sales to help cover expenses. An objective of the march- ing band was to teach a per- son to have pride in himself and his cohorts. As Carolyn Booker commented, ‘Band will be one of my fondest memories. The long hours of practice, the ex- hilarating feeling of pride and accomplishment following a performance, and the sadness of a final competition all com- bine to make band a wonder- ful experience.”’ Supporting the football team, the band watches the Colonels defeat Appomat- tox. With each touch down the band led the crowd in the ‘Onward Colonels’, school fight song. The special touch of the col- or guard and drum line, and the leadership of the drum majors are something that the marching band just can’t do without. Moving in forma- tion, they participate in the halftime show. Way to get into that music! Drum major Tammie Keene even gets down directing at pep ralleys. Band 14 STUDENTS AT WORK be MILKING A COW?

Sights such as the wall at the ‘Freeze’ loaded with teen- agers have faded to the ‘uptown’ ook. Yet the lights and the crowd did not attract everyone. Mansion Bridge, for instance, has remained a popular place to ‘relax’ for generations. While cruising town was not the most excit- ng tn oe n the world, in Altavista it was of the few things to do on week- f this small town excitement was not enough, the faster pace of Lynchburg ffered a place to go. The Mall, plays it Lynchburg College, and movies provided action. On occasion the coli- sieumM in Roanoke featured top names m concert which drew older students isn't Stacey keeping good company!

The drink and snack machines and the school store were all S.C.A. projects. John Tucker, Ken Treadway, and Kam Goldsmith went door to door every morn- ing making sure students were equipped with the essentials. The S.C.A. sponsored one dance, Morp, or a backwards prom, where the girls took the guys. They also scheduled and approved (through the admin- istration) all other dances. Making the morning rounds for the school store are John Tucker and Ken Treadway. Bruce Tardy buys a pencil from the mobile unit. neconperpreense The S.C.A. also awarded stu- dent achievement mono- grams to people active in academics and clubs. Based on an established point scale, possibility of receiving a mono- gram became more difficult as students progressed through school. Mrs. Myra Frazier, soon- sor, and Yolanda Jammes, president, worked hard to pro- vide a strong laison for stu- dents and the administration.

But the hardest ad- justment was getting used to being at the bottom of the list, not top dog as at the elementary school. ‘It was diffi- cult aft first,” replied Patricia Pennix, because we were looked at, poked at, and critized as the new kids on the block.

Clubs, sports, contests, fund raisers, and assemblies were just a few of the many ways they got involved. “We want enthusiasm!’ says Beth Rogers. The Powder Puff Football game was really wild with the guys taking the place of the cheer- leaders and the girls playing.

BENSON HEDGES | Yk: Rock Day was a guessing game of who looked the most punk. The best of all was decorating for their last homecoming. The NUNTIUS assem- bly proved the Senior class had stamina as they encouraged stu- dents to buy yearbooks. Seniors also proved their interest in government by attending MGA to learn about the state legislative procedures. The Senior class showed that they had the most spirit by coming fo alll sporting events. Fixing those smelly Fish Fillets at McDonalds is Paul Simmons.

It helped him achieve a goal, becoming a page in the House of Representa- tives. To achieve this Mike had to have a B average. In Congress, he carried messages back and forth to the Representa- tives whose time was limited. Mike worked long hours from noon until late at night. He was also required to attend school which started at 6 a.m. and lasted until noon. Being a page Mike said “was a rewarding experience that | will always re- member.”’ After his year in Washington, D.C., Filling out applications and listening to speak- ers, Stacey Bolling and Andrea Glidewell attend College Night, which provided information about various east coast colleges and universi- ties, Leaning against her locker, Sherry Witt day- dreams before homeroom. Meeting at lockers and talking to friends is a favorite pastime for students, in the middle as well as the high school. Mike returned to A.H.S. where he was an honor roll student. He was an active member of Boy Scout Troop 278, and an eagle scout. To be- come this, Mike worked on service projects, such as painting a church. He earned merit badges which re- quired him to have various skills. Mike enjoys running. He was a member of the Cross Country team and has participated in road races and the Virginia Ten Miler. His goal is to become a marathon runner in the 1988 Olympics. His plans for the future include attending West Point and becoming a commissioned offi- cer. Planning for the future was what the class of ‘85 did. Whether it was learning trades such as electronics, child care, or auto mechanics at Vo-Tech, visiting Heritage High School for College Night and learn- ing about various state and local colleges, or just working after school, many seniors decided what their plans would be. To prepare, seniors like Wayne Shert, Kim Queener, and Charlene Hamlett, took courses at Vo-Tech. There they learned various skills which would enable them to get a good job after graduation. Others like Trey Chapman, Kip Kingsmore, and Beth Rogers visited College Night at Heritage High School. This enabled them and others to receive hat’s In Store? information about various local and state colleges. Also, many seniors had jobs at which they worked before and after school. Many labored in places like McDonalds, Long John Silvers, Vista Food, and the Lane Company. There they gained experience and confidence. During the third week in October, Mr. John Mason, a recruiter for the National Guard conducted a ca- reer workshop in Mr. Botler’s English class. Mr. Mason discussed the im- portant aspects of filling Out job ap- plications correctly, writing resumes, and having a neat appearance at an interview. In all, he helped seniors learn important lessons in applying for a job. Seniors 39 Class Attention From Captains To Clowns After twelve long years of home- work, tests, and headaches; of dates, heartaches, and heartbreaks, the class of ‘85 finally said, ‘Hallelujah, we're seniors!” One hundred seven- teen High school students finally exer- cised their privilege of calling them- selves seniors. But along with this spe- cial privilege came a few special re- sponsibilities. These were ordering caps and gown and invitations, organizing class night, and keeping up with the whole rat race of the last year of high school. After graduation preparations had to be made also. This meant taking those awesome SAT’s. Seniors registered in guidance for these but took them in Lynchburg. But seniors didn’t let these petty de- tails get them down. By putting their best foot forward, the class of ‘85 was determined to make it a good year. � English teacher Mr. Jerry Botler inspired seniors. Even though he lectured them on twenty pages of notes and gave them tests which were six pages long, they loved him just the same. He con- tinuously tried to teach them new words. One of his favorites, which soon became the seniors’ favorite, was cro- nies. Seniors loved the word best be- cause when he said, ‘Okay, you may converse with your cronies,’’ this meant the last five or ten minutes of class could be spent socializing. Another teacher who added excite- ment to the day was Mrs. Myra Frazier, their government teacher. She was al- ways making class exciting and panel educational as well as fun. She also liked to joke around about her ‘new addition’ to government class, which made seniors have a sense of close- ness for her Representing the senior class as officers Rod- ney Hogue — vice-president, Lisa Hodnett — secretary, livo Sitterding — treasurer and Leslie Holland — president. Being a class officer meant deacation, hard work and responsibilities includ- ing Class reunions after graduation Representatives to Girls’ anc Boys State were Lesiie Holland.

As well as being a cheerleader, holding down a job at McDonalds and being a member of the FBLA, Gwen rides horses. She began riding at a very young age, but she had never competed in a horse show until the summer of 1983. During these local shows Gwen and her walking horse, Ru- by’s Black Lady’, won two second place ribbons. In the near future, Gwen hopes to compete more in Tennessee on a larger scale, especially at the “Celebration’’ Horse Show. She also plans to enter the Air Force, where she intends to become an officer although riding will always be a very important part of her life.

A world of experiences chal- enge underclassmen. From he moment seventh graders crossed Bedford Avenue and 9ecame middle schoolers until they reached the eleventh grade, these students con- quered a multitude of obsta- cles. Some were simple like ocker combinations and the organization of the library. Oth- [rs posed greater problems ike. mastering..a. foreign. lan- guage, making or balancing extra-curricular activities with: seven classes. Time was these students most valuable posession, Mo- ments before school were spent conversing about last night’s date, weekend plans, or doing forgotten homework. Lunch was a time for exchang- ing notes about government or biology tests, but mainly for “munching out’. After school moments were the high point of the day. They were spent catching up on the day’s gos- sip,. saying. good bye to. that special someone, but mostly being given a break from school. Underclassmen pleasures rossing The Line were cut short by the thought of graduation preparations. SRA tests had to be taken by tenth graders, while eleventh graders pondered over PSAT's, Credits for graduation had to be established and grades se- cured. Underclassmen were cross- ing the line into the real world of high school. Sharing the joy of victory, Coach Carol Bradley hugs Christina Steiger as Crystal Myers watches.

Time passed quickly. The class of ‘86 surged through their inior year. The year 1985 was a chal- lenge as they tried to out-spirrit, out- show, and out-smart the seniors. First things came first. Being juniors meant that they had to work harder in their classes. Mrs. Ora Blanks’s English class seemed to be a real surprise. “Juniors are my favorite group of teenagers To teach regardiess of how many harle- quins are in each year’s class,’ Mrs. Blanks commented. She showed un- derstanding and pride in her junior stu- Jents and made certain they learned how to write a research paper before the year ended Keeping step with tradition, the ju- niors hosted a prom for the seniors Magazines. records, and tapes were sold to raise the hundreds of dollars they needed.

It was the first time in years that prom was not held in the Old Gym or at the National Guard Armory To put together this event many de- cisions had to be made such as finding a suitable band, raising money, and finding a place to hold the prom.

During heated discussions, they debated the book of Revelations, gay rights, and moral standards. These discussions rose from material covered in their literature. Mrs. Blanks encouraged discussions so students would look deeper at themselves and their morals and val- ues. Some students enjoyed the discus- sions because they felt they were growing and learning experiences. Others were adamantly against them because they felt they were being forced to forget their own opinions and accept others. However, juniors were a strong lot and clung to their own beliefs. They also learned to form new ideas.

These permits gave them the feeling of freedom that comes from driving, plus the experience that they needed to get their drivers’ licenses. The only catch was they must be ac- companied by someone over eigh- teen. After passing a written test to gain the learners’ permits, each stu- dent had to spend one week at the driving range at Vo-Tech. Following this they spent two hours on the road where they were judged by instructor Donnie Vaden on how well they fol- lowed road signs and handled their cors Getting involved in her work is Shawn Dowdy.

Being sophomores was something special. If was a time in life when stu- dents began to experience many new things. But it was also a time when many 15 and 16 year olds found them- selves looking for a place to “‘fit-in’’. Teenagers are not quite adults but in some ways treated like adults. They began driving and many sophomores Demonstrating a vocabulary word in Mrs. Blanks English class is Mandy Walker. Students pick a word and then describe it with an object. also held down jobs, as adults do. When they reached the ages of 15 and 16, they began to realize and un- derstand things that were going on in the world that they never gave much thought to before, such as politics, the election process, the high-jacking of the air plane in Iran, the toxic gas leak in India, and the cost of driving a car. All in all their teenage years were good, and they proved to be a time in their lives to enjoy and remember.

Although they were not yet upperclassmen, many sophomores experienced the same privileges and responsibilities that older students did. For example, most had their learners permits and were learn- ing to drive. Many enjoyed playing varsity sports. There were several sophomores on the varsity football and basketball teams. Jamie West, Chris Thurman and Jeff Cabler contributed to the football team, while Clifton Lee and Frank Kirby added dimension to the basketball team. Helping the varsi- ty girls’ basketball team to an unde- feated season were LaDonna Mason, Mendy Lane and Christy Brown. An- other highlight for sophomores was or- dering class rings, although it was hard to decide which style and type they wanted. All looked forward to receiv- ing them their junior year. Along with these privileges also came responsibil- ities: passing harder classes and doing more homework. Some students found it hard to budget their time between homework and pratices, but in time they became accustomed io the somewhat hectic life.

They be- came as active as they could by join- ing extracurricular activities such as J.V. Football, J.V. Girls’ Basketball, and J.V. Cheerleading. Marcus Monroe, Sam Mayberry, Gordon Shelton, and Chuck Glidewell led the J.V. Football As freshmen, this was the first year the class of ‘88 was allowed to have homecoming atten- dants. Jody Mitchner is escorted by her brother Rusty Mitchner, and Treva Stern, by Mark Henry. team. J.V. Girls’ Basketball had a great season with only one loss to Liberty. Helping this group were Andrea Campbell and Charisse Coleman. Not only did the freshmen class par- ticipate in sports, but they got in- volved in Jr. Tri-Hi-Y, Science Club, and foreign language clubs. Ad Taking it easy in the lunch room for lunch break were Skipper Trent, Stacey Halll, and Eric Leach. They found it quite humorous to listen to Eric's story while eating. “Give me a break!” Treva Stern works on business papers that never seem to end. This was the first year freshmen could take business classes. Ninth Grade 65 =a Breaking In Being freshmen meant that the class of ‘88 had four more years to go through all the experiences of high school life. Roy Smallwood stated, ‘Being in high school lets me get away with more.” Hope Francis exclaimed, ‘| want to be popular and to have grades good enough to be in N.H.S.” Most of all, fresh- men wanted to get their drivers’ licenses. Part of being in high school was doing what other teenagers did. Julie Dalton, Kim Pruet, Tami Myers, and Scotty Wright like to spend their weekends in Lynch- burg, at the movies, riding around, shop- ping, talking on the phone, or just watch- ing T.V.

Some of these were geometry, Algebra | and Il, biology, Spanish, and Latin. The amount of homework and the degree of difficulty was greatly in- creased. Most students rose to tackle the challenges willingly and whizzed through them with the help of dedi- cated teachers and their own abilities. Not only did these classes require students to apply themselves dilligent- ly, but they also taught them to ex- pect and accept challenges on a greater level. Taking time out to share a casual moment are Shelly Treadway and Mary Doss. Freshmen learned to cherish these very rare moments of peace.

The familiar question of who would lead the country next was a house hold phrase. Adults, age 18 and up, were not the only Americans wor- ried about the welfare of the country. Eighth grade students in Miss Deborah Mason’s American Civics classes were also concerned. But instead of sitting back and waiting it out, they put their concern into action. First of all they were better educat- ed on the political system. They were taught the names of the political par- ties. They followed the political elec- tion and studied the candidates to see where they stood on certain issues. Miss Mason encouraged them to learn the voting procedure, stressed that voting is an important part of their deomcratic life, and showed that only 55 percent of the public vote. Next came the mock election. Each Representing the pre-freshmen for tne 64-85 yeor are Byron Pannell vice-president, Holly Collins treasurer. Angie Poe president. and Cinoy Terry secretary sco nonin Grode class elected a registrar. Each person had to come in and register, just like at a public election. Students could not register during class time. They had to come either before or after school, which made the project totally volun- teer and student interest. Out of 142 eighth graders, 63 percent_of them registered and 51 percent of them voted. But instead of tallying the results and leaving it at that, they decided to go a step further. The pre-freshmen de- cided to send their results to a maga- zine called Junior Scholastic which was conducting a nationwide poll. The results from the eighth graders was 68 percent for Reagan, 31 percent for Mondale, and 1 percent for Jacks on. As eighth graders found out later, their poll results matched almost ex- actly with the Junior Scholastic poll. Working on a problem in iss Deborah Mason's class.

Being an eighth grad- er meant working harder to achieve success in academics. Harder subjects such as algebra, Latin, Spanish, and ci- vics required more time on books and less time playing To some students, eighth grade de- manded more; to others it was not much different than seventh. But one thing was for sure, the need to study became imperative! In regard to Eng- lish, Gayla Newman said, “| have to study a lot harder than in seventh grade. ’ More homework and harder tests all constituted part of preparing eighth graders for subjects in high Schoo! In foreign languages, such as Latin and Spanish, eighth graders were re- quired to study. They also had more homework than in seventh grade. Vo- cabulary, irregular verbs, and endings required study every night. In doing EXITO! this, eighth graders kept to the tasks. In middie school band, eighth grad- ers were required to play major or mi- nor scales and practice at least fifteen minutes every night. Sometimes the eighth graders who participated in marching band took time in class to practice their marching! Doing this helped them get ready for band com- petitions or football games. To eighth graders, shop was some- times very scary. “Those big machines can cut a finger in a second,” re- marked Stephen Adams. Some ma- chines were difficult to use. Safety glasses were required, and on some machines, coats too. The finished pro- ducts proved they learned how to adapt to this new experience. Reviewing her English is Donna Anthony.

Just entering the seventh grade was a big step, because Middle School presented both responsi bilities, and freedoms to which these students were not accustomed In August, finding their way around a new facility, learning teachers’ names, and figuring out how to work locker combinations boggled all their minds. Then there were seven classes to study for instead of three. There was dressing out for P.E. and taking showers and a ninety minute class period for language arts. They also found them- selves eating food in the cafeteria they never dreamed of like, the all- purpose patty or french fries.

The candidates had one week to win their classmates’ votes. They had to circulate a petition on which they had to get twenty signatures, They made posters, buttons, and badges. At the end of the week all seventh graders voted in their homerooms for the people they thought would do the best job.

A SPECIAL Touch Have you ever wondered what a day would be like without Mr. Russell Jarret saying, “Stop running in the halls,” or calling you into his office and beginning his lecture with “The prob- lem seems to be ...”? What about Mrs. Myra Frazier with her crazy sense of humor and her “‘lovely”’ singing. A day just wouldn't be complete without Mrs. Ora Blanks “‘cracking’’ on some innocent bystander or Mr. Augustine Hermosa conversing in Spanish with students in the hall. But yet many stu- dents took teachers for granted, not realizing that they added that special little something so that everyday wouldn't be an ordinary day.

Teachers Speak Up he common question of what does being a senior or a junior mean has been an all too familiar question for students. But no one ever stopped to ask faculty members what does their position mean. Well teachers, look out because your turn has arrived. A questionaire was conducted which asked teachers what being a teacher meant to them. A first reply came from Mrs. Helen Goldsmith who stated being a teacher meant “a challenge to meet young people wherever they are with their own ideas and match mine to theirs and hopefully pull them up to meet many of mine.” Teachers proved to be a great as- set to students not only as instructors but also as friends. Mrs. Sandra Farmer, Mr. Jarrett’s secretary, stated that “being on the office staff provides me with an opportunity to be involved with young people, to find out what their interests, ambitions, and fears are. It helps me be more prepared in be ing a parent and friend, not only to my children but to those | come in con- tact with. | thoroughly enjoy being around young people.” Mrs. Myra Frazier added, “| think teaching the American public is vital to the democracy we enjoy.

Undefeated for the second year, the girls’ track team de- fended their position by winning again the Campbell County Meet and the District Tourna- ment. The team also came in third in the Regionals for the sec- ond time. Coach Owens com- mented, ‘We acheived what we wanted to achieve.” Practicing daily for one to two hours, the hard work paid off with a successful season. ‘it’s great to be involved with 35-40 young women who are willing to put forth the effort to achieve two straight undefeated seasons,” added Coach Owens. The stars of the season includ- ed Coretta Organ, Audrey Robin- son, Jenny Hecht, and Andrea Campbell in the field events.

Many key players didn't perform as well as expected, especially in the areas of hitting and pitching. A bright spot was that there was only one senior on the team so they will have a lot of depth and experience for the ‘85 season. The key hitter was Kip Kingsmore. He led the team in home runs with seven, RBI's with twenty- one, and batting aver- age with .418. Defensive- ly Spencer Wormuth had a good season while Jeff Monroe led the team with twenty stolen bases. The best game of the season came against Rustburg at home. Both sides played well with the Colonels ending up the victor thanks to some timely hits in the final in- nings. Other hard fought victories came against the likes of Brookville and Jefferson Forest. Some disappointing losses oc- curred against district powerhouse Liberty, and arch rival Gretna. Trying for the pick-off play, Mike Hill hurls the ball to first baseman, Spencer Wormuth. Mike was one of the key pitch- ers on Vaden’s staff. 91 BOYS’ TENNIS Appomattox 3 6 Liberty 0 9 Gretna re) 3 Jefferson Forest 4 8 Brookville 0 9 Rustburg A 8 Appomattox 0 9 Liberty 0 y Gretna rained out Jefferson Forest 0 9 Brookville 0 9 Rustburg 0 9 Hitting the ball with ease, Record: 1-10 NEA Ke Warming up with hopes of! peer hig Hie ihen sgpets | JV BASEBALL 4 vy A € y £ = - . } “ ; ‘ a t ie 4} We 4 0 ++ e 4 } . t A¢ 2 a ‘cy Ww Y Two Teams — Different Outcomes Getting off to a slow start, the JV Baseball team worked hard, and the re- wards were evident in late season wins. In a doubdie- header against Appomat- tox, the jayvees showed they had talent and were a hardworking team when they came back in the sec- ond game, after losing the first 6-16, to cream the Raid- ers 23-0. “We got our confi- dence back after winning the Appomattox game,” boasted Ken Treadway. In the following game against Rustburg, the team again showed they could pull To- gether, coming back in the seventh inning from O-7 to win 9-7. “We really put our hearts into it!’’ said Blair Wolfe Players commented that simple mistakes hurt them at the beginning. As the sea- son progressed, so did bat- ting and pitching. Marty Hut- cherson was a key offensive player with his .590 batting average. New recruits Blake Wolfe and Roney Singleton were assets to the team Members commented, “We did real well; batting got better at the end of the season, and team spirit was up. It was a good year!” Meanwhile, things werent going as well for the boys tennis team. It had a tougn season mn the vdeginning they did not know if they would have enough players to make a team so they re- cruited some guys “One re- cruit, Travis Hedrick, did we commented Coach Larry Kidd.

Mary Eubanks pu : 1 giant effort into hitting ao hard asy Season Ends On De vilish No te The popularity of the tennis program has been strength- ened by repeated appear- ances on the district tourna- ment. This became quite evi- dent when fifteen players came out for the team. Prac- tice for many started in Janu- ary with a Saturday morning clinic at CVi in Lynchburg taught by Pro Instructor TJ. Cauldwell. Others participated on a group team with Lynch- burg area players. They met on Saturday also and played singles and doubles for two hours. Once practice started in March, everyone was ready for a winning season, even though many days were spent practicing in 40° weather. Many young members like tenth graders Mary Eubanks and Kristi Ottinger and ninth grader Cristina Steiger played in the top six. Seniors Bonnie Adams, Stephanie Holland, and first seeded Judith Walker were major assets to the team with their experience. Junior Wendy Russell also contributed as a number three doubles player. After starting the season off well by killing Jefferson Forest 9-0, the team lost to their toughest opponent, Brookville, 3-6. From then on the team easily won all their matches ex- cept one against Brookville which they lost 4-5. Going into the District Tour- nament in second place, the girls lost in the opening match to Rustburg Devils 4-5, abruptly ending their season. No, it’s not a movie star; it’s Bonnie Adams incognito! She was an asset to the team with her experience, playing position four and five. 95 Attempting to break away from yo” feat’ the pack, Sandy Mayhew pushes : for her best time.

The boys’ cross country team only had three returnees, so the sea- son didn’t look favorable. Al- most all meets were either won or lost by one or two points, but the team contin- ued to pound the sod. ““We really had good runners, and we did improve over last year. It’s just the district was a lot stronger,’’ stated Coach Al Smith. Despite this, veteran runners Donald Cocke and Jimmy Phillips fin- ished in the top ten for the district. For the girls’ team the out look was promising. But as the season progressed injur- ies and sickness prevented them from being district champs. As Coach Wayne Owen commented, ‘The team’s togetherness was a big plus. Overall effort and attitude kept them going.” Making All District were Sandy Mayhew and Eva Ep- person. Most valuable run- ner was Sandy Mayhew. Power Lifting, which has challenged national re- cords, has been developed over the past two years. Coach Dale Caparaso and Coach Donnie Revell have been working to build a weight program. Now it has become one of the best. Who says running hills is fun!

Averaging 18.5 points a game, she was named co-MVP of the Dis- trict and earned All-Region- al titles. Guards Debra Burch and Leslie Holland played a key role in the team’s suc- cess. Burch was named to first team All-District, while Holland received honorable mention. Breath-taking wins during the regular season over Buckingham, Jefferson Forest, and Liberty set the tone for the tournament. Victories over Appomattox and Forest advanced the team into the finals against Liberty. After a hard fought, emotional game, the girls pulled out an exciting one point victory, winning the tournament championship. Representing the Semi- nole District in the Region Ill Tournament, the girls achieved their first regional victory, advancing to the finals.

Andrea was an asset to the team by being the leading scorer. Winning Streak Continues Some things just soeak for themselves. As well as hav- ing a winning season the J.V. Girls’ Basketball players got much more than just a pat on the back. “The girls got experience, a lot of playing time, and knowl- edge of the overall game,” commented Coach Carol Bradley. “Our weakness was get- ting behind in the first half, but probably our greatest strength as far as a team was getting points on the board when we really need- ed them,’’ added Coach Bradley. Making great comebacks easy for the Colonelettes were Andrea Campbell, Cristy McGinn, Charisse Co- leman, and Jody Mitchner as they led the team in re- bounds. Another added helo was Joyce Monroe who led the team in steals with sixty-six for the season. The Colonelettes’ games were exciting ones to watch. In the match up against Staunton River, the Colonelettes led by three points throughout almost the entire game. In the final three seconds, however, Staunton River scored; but the Colonelettes escaped with a one point victory. Coach Bradley’s philos- ophy is that playing team ball is what wins basketball games. “The girls took each game seriously and played together. Whether we were ahead or behind the girls played together. That's what made them so suc- cessful,’’ conciuded Coach Bradley as her team cele- brated a 15-1 season. J.V.

They aver- aged 61 points and gave up an average of 55. Kevin Moorman led in scoring with a 14 point average. David Pannell, an eighth grader, earned a starting position as guard and led the team in steals with his quickness. Richard Thornhill, a 6°14” center, averaged seven re- bounds per game. Coach Scarborough ad- ded, ‘Our biggest strength was the bench. | felt we had some very capable reserves in Joey Robinson, Scotty Brown, and Bret Jennings.” Their biggest win came in a double overtime victory against the Brookville Bees, 73-72, in the longest game of the season. John Lowe came off the bench when Richard Thornhill fouled out and scored three needed points in the closing seconds of the game ... In the Appomattox game, Doug Gillespie proved he could score under pressure when he hit a 25 foot jump- shot with two seconds left for the 54-52 victory in the team’s closing home game. Going up strong with the ball, Richard Thornhill tries for two points. Richard, an eighth grader started “at center and was the leading re- bounder for the team.

Various schools in the Campbell Coun- ty area attended. Then FHA sponsored a service project known as ‘White Christmas’. This consisted of fixing boxes of food and other items for needy families. ICT started its year with numerous “Boy, doesn’t that look good!”? FHA members Susan Mayberry and Lisa Hodnett put finishing touches on the roof of their gingerbread house. Community speakers from local businesses. One was Mr. Herman Barbour from American Federal Bank who discussed the banking business. ICT prepared a float for the annual Altavista Christmas Parade. The theme for the parade was “Christmas Around the World”. Under the direction of Edwin Tem- ples, the Middle School Band began learning scales and songs. The middle school students practiced getting the notes to perfection. Some of them even joined the marching band in which they also learned drills.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Johelen Martin, twenty- five staff members challenged. themselves with many new and-exciting ideas. For instance, the classes sec- tion, under the guidance of Cornelia..Lee, chose to. use blue as a background through- out the senior pages. They fol- lowed the criticizms of previous years and structured their sec- tion. to specifications. of stan- dard journalism. Yet they al- lowed for creativity through their stylish headlines, tool lines and well written body copy. The.. academic. section .re- ceived a boost with Mary Eu- banks heading up a new staff. They incorporated _ tri-tone headlines, wide tool lines, and bold, eyecatching openings. The group covered everything from field trios to the musical groups.at the school. Mary. at- tended a journalism workshop in Williamsburg where she was introduced to creative year- book techniques. Marie. Martin added. her. ex- perience and knowledge to become the sports editor. A different headline face, inven- tive headlines, original score- boards that carried out the books cover idea, and inter- esting body copy all blended together to make the sports section the most exciting ever. Everyday activities entwined themselves throughout the stu- dent life pages. Patricia Pennix rossing the Line directed her four section mem- bers to create a_ successful collage of high school life. With the assistance of Laurie Osborne, Lisa Simpson headed up.the.opening,. closing,..and divider pages of the Nuntius. It was their job to carry out the theme “Crossing the Line’. By incorporating the use of tool lines to. form. the. “line” anda graph, the girls added new di- mension to the look of the school’s yearbook, All of these new ideas would have remained ideas, if the lo- cal merchants had not gra- ciously supported the Nuntius. With. their support, the staff was able to create a better and more exciting book. SIDISOOG O7,uY Boosters 151 Win or Lose, One Thing's the Same: There's nothing like a Big Mac after the Big Game!
