There is a band grass lawn, a flag pole, tennis booster club which runs the trade lot courts, and a football stadium. Does raising money for the band’s own this sound different from any other equipment bus; an awards banquet for high school?

High school clubs, sports, and classes ex- panded these to include dif- ferent ages. Because some friends had gone separate ways, upperclassmen en- joyed making new friends in rising classes. Friendships varied from a person you always spoke to in the hall to that special guy or girl you talked to between classes. It has been said a per- son is lucky to remain close to even one old high school Taking a minute to gossip between classes are Ashley Fellers, Elizebeth Tongue, and Courtney Bohannon. These girls adjusted quickly to the new pace of the seventh grade. buddy. As graduation rolled around, students realized this and tried to keep friend- ships strong. Students also spent time together away from school. They visited each other’s homes or spent the night on weekends. They went to ballgames or dances together. They shared their first “R” rated movie, double dates, liking the same guy or girl, and the driver’s range. They also helped each other through hard times — breaking up with a first love, a close friend moving away, or maybe just cheering up a sick friend. — Nissa Coleman Two good buddies eat lunch together.

Members didn’t seem to mind this, however. They accepted the challenge. The boosters furnished the band equipment bus. Though not brand new, the bus was a welcomed addition which proved useful in carrying in- struments, flags, and uniforms. The boosters spent a number of hours painting and putting up shelves in the bus. The band learned a lot about leadership, self- motivation, and pride. One of the most important lessons band stressed all the time, however, was working as a group. No one person could put on a field show. There had to be a lot of cooperation and general respect for one another.

Band 11 For The Right Pri¢e High school produces an almost hedenistic spirit in many students. Every clique has its own focus: clothes, hair, movies. Other people prefer more tangible or direct records, enjoyment: food, cars. But no matter what one buys, collects, consumes, or enjoys, there is almost always one tactor in common money It was amazing how often heard students were complaining about money, or more specificially a lack of it Students would do most any- thing to pinch a few pennies here and there to spend on their special interests. Values and priorities came very much into bearing when dealing with money. Decid- ing whether to make a minor purchase now or to wait and save for a more extravagant pleasure later was often a dilemma. One of few students activi- ties which did not cost money was schoolwork. “I can’t go out tonight. I have a big test tomorrow,” or, “I studied all night,’’ were ever-present comments. But move into voluntary obsessions and one found that most everything had a price. John Steele Students always. like to eat.

Goofing Off... A Favorite Pastime All work and no play makes anyone dull. That surely can’t be said of the high school and middle school students here. Students found time for goofing off in even the most hectic of schedules. Most students even had it down to a science. A lot of time was not necessary, only a carefree attitude and a basic grasp of Partying on a weekend; Andrea Nichols and Julie Peake enjoy a laugh. Parties proved to be a popular scene for socializing among students as well as adults. humor. As most students would admit, ‘‘goofing off’’ was nothing better to do or even when there was, what better to do than share photos from a weekend party or even just a little gossip, decorate someone’s locker for a birthday or play a trick on someone. All these things helped to ease the tension of the hectic days at ol’AHS. Competing in spirit day and yearbook week activities also aroused interest from student goof-offs. Lunchtime proved to be one of the most enjoyable times. One could easily find students sharing jokes and making fun of the food. Before school and after were even better times. Students joked about each other’s driv- ing and discussed all their wild weekend plans. It’s been said that music and laughter are universal languages and this school has certainly proved the latter. Whether kicked back watch- ing others or in on the action themselves, students had fun just . . . goofing off. — Wendy Miles Goofing Off 23 Fashion conscious students parade on the auditorium steps; Byron Pannell, LaDonna Mason, Shannon Dawson.

The right clothes have always been important to a teen- ager’s appearance, but some- times fashion wasn’t always comfortable or fun. But the 1986 look proved to be both. A combination of the favorite styles of decades attracted attention. The dropped waist, shoul- der pads, beads, and dangle earrings were brought back from the roaring ‘20’s along with hanging belts from 1916. Tight fitting ankle-length skirts with pleats were revived from the ‘30’s. The hottest look of the year, con- sisted of stirrup pants, baggy sweaters and pumps, favor- ites of the ‘50’s and ’60’s. Paisley prints came back with full force from the early ‘70’s Guys’choices of clothes didn’t change much. Cowboy boots were once again pop- ular along with Levi's and a shirt. The great thing about 1986 fashion was that indiviuality was the main goal. No one look was the “right look.” Each was on his own. — Nissa Coleman Chatting before class are Mandy Walker, Tammy Cox, Andrea Farmer and LeeAnn Sease.

Two of the most extraordinary terro- rist happenings were the hi- jacking of the ‘‘Achille Lauro’’an Italian Cruise liner and the sinking of the “‘Rain- bow Warrior.” The “Rainbow Warrior’ was the flagship of an anti-nuclear movement known as Greenpeace. It is suspected that the French government was involved. On the sporting scene: Boris Becker was the surprise story. A West German, Boris exploded upon the tennis world and became the young- est man to win Wimbledon. He was only 17. On the science scene: Hal- ley’s comet was seen for the seventy-five first time in years. Scientists claimed that it was the worst view of the comet in the past 2,000 years.

On the political scene: A summit was held in Geneva of the two superpowers: the United States and Russia. Reagan and Gorbachev met and discussed the differences between the two nations, es- pecially nuclear weapons. On the society scene: The big happening was the visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Americans went crazy over the British Royalty. On the TV scene: the hot- test items were the Cosby Show and Miami Vice. Cosby brought humour back into American Network televi- sion, whereas Miami Vice played cops and robbers with a musical background. Both national scene: shows were big hits. In the music field, American Per- formers got together in two concerts, (Live Aid, Farm Aid) and raised money for famine stricken Africa and out-of-work farmers. On the local scene: The main story was the flood of ‘85. The Staunton and James Rivers both reached record highs. When the water re- ceded, many people were homeless. There was lots of property damage throughout central Virginia. On the school scene: a new vice principal took over the high school because Russell Jarrett left. The new principal was Richard Edwards, former special ICT teacher at Altavista. The students thought he was tough but fair. Jess Lewis Outstanding!

Finally, sum- mer arrived with no time to spare because “school burn- out” and “graduation blues’ had started to take affect. The hot days made students long to be outside instead of in school. Seniors, who had anticipated graduation, thought about the friends they would leave behind. Through the school year, holiday dances and other so- cial activities marked the changing of seasons as well as places to meet friends and make lasting memories. At the Christmas Dance and various Christmas parties, gifts were exchanged, as well as hugs. On Valentine’s Day, the aroma of flowers filled the halls and classrooms. Girls holding bouquets of roses courteously thanked their admirers. Each season brought a challenge, the challenge to discover the best that particular season had to offer. — Myra Peavey Getting a cold drink, Tobie Caldwell and Susan Campbell anxiously anticipate the rehee from a hot day.

By doing so many ac- tivities, the students learned that the comet was named after Ed- mond Halley in 1758 although it was dis- covered by the Chinese in 239 B.C. Over all, the students were grateful that Mrs. Carter had pressed them to see this unusual comet moving at a rate of 60,000 miles per hour.

Direct Reading and Thinking Activities, DRTA, taught by Mrs. Nancy Lobbregt, corre- lated with language arts to help students who had difficulties with reading and other verbal skills. Students read short stories by major and young adult authors. They learned how to read “into” stories and to predict the outcome of situations in them. According to Mrs. Lobbregt, the students enjoyed the class which Several students even progressed was successful. out of the class before the end of the year. Skills for adolescence, taught by Miss Deborah Mason, became a part of eighth graders’ normal school day. The class was designed to address problems of adolescence. It dealt with issues such as critical thinking, commu- nication, self confidence and peer pressure.

Due to the tight schedules and peer pressure, students often failed to meet the new student or welcome the “loner’’ who looked at the crowd but never ventured in. Behind every face, a real person loomed with hopes, dreams, and goals to succeed. When just looking at a face, how could love of music, or dedication to a sport, or enthusiasm for a cl ass be realized? To find underlying qualities, students had to look for more. Because the student body numbered just 750, students became more than just faces. In elective courses people from all grades met. In extracurricular activities they worked together. Thus, they formed friendships across class lines. Individual talents surfaced and students learned who existed behind the mask. They found MORE THAN JUST A FACE. — Mary Eubanks 64 Classes Showing her spirit at the football game with Rustburg, Tammy Bragg and fans cheer the Colonels. Students, parents, and alumni attended the five home games on Friday nights. Classes 65 emories elancholoy and Madness Seniors, as always, were filled with anticipation, eagerness, and a touch of fear as they braced themselves for what was to follow graduation. S.A.T.’s were taken, college applica- tions were filled out, and campus visits were made in preparation for the day when the Class of ‘86 would leave behind high school memories and em- bark on a new adventure: college, careers, and for some, marriage. The usual crazy out-lets for pressure existed, such as powder puff football, spirit week, yearbook week, class night and all of the regular everyday antics. In the spring, the final realization that the senior year was ending hit. Gradu- ation was not just a dream. A hint of fear and a feeling of melancholy set in, but eagerness to begin new lifestyles overpowered, making it hard to wait until the day when the Class of ‘86 could begin anew.

Because of this she attended Governor's School for the Gifted at Virginia Tech last summer. While there, Benita took courses in philosophy and computer and political science. She saw plays and different enter- tainers and went on field trips. When asked if Governor’s School was worthwhile, Benita stated, “It was a great experience! Although we had classes, we didn’t have the pressure of tests and grades. I almost didn’t want to leave the ‘dream situation’.” Benita found this ex- perience exposed her to high-tech equip- ment that not many college students get to use. During high school, Benita received many awards. Among them were Ex- change Club student of the month, in- dustrial arts student of the month, third place in P.M. Magazine’s birthday card contest, academic letter award, and a trophy for being on principal’s honor roll list. Benita was also a national semi-finalist among black students for her high score on the National Merit Tests. — Tammy Cox Seniors 71 The BEST of The BREW As with every class, the climb to the top began in elementary school. The Class of ‘86 had a strong desire to be the best. When they reached sixth grade, they had their first experience of being ‘top dog.’ This only lasted a year as they found themselves on the bottom as seventh graders. The climb began all over again. How could they ever make a place for themselves at Altavista High School? Well, it took five years, but the Class of ‘86 finally made it to the top. Seniors at last! The climb seemed to take forever, and sometimes they wondered if it was worth all the homework and endless school days. The first day of their senior year proved it was. The respect and envy of the underclassmen made it all Representing Senior Class at Boys’ and Girls’ State: Cindy Tester, John Steele, Mark Henry, and Sun Ryeon Kim 2 Seniors worthwhile. Now only the good times and all the memories along the way were remembered. Elementary School held a lot of memories. Just riding the yellow bus held excitement for most as they started first grade. Every year the excitement of school declined more and more, but by the sixth grade things began to pick up, and a lot of unforgetable things happened. One was kissing contests at Vista Theatre. Couples would meet and see who could kiss the longest and the most times. Then there was the sixth grade dance where a student spiked the punch. Everyone who drank it was more than surprised! One thing no one will ever forget is Mrs. Fortune’s boots! She even wore them on the class trip to the Top Seven Seniors Academically: Front Row: Benita Calloway, Sarah Jane Brubaker, Sun Ryeon Kim, Mary Eubanks; Back Row: Mark Henry Jimmy Phillips, and John Steele Sewage Plant. There were also memories about Middle School. Students remember the good old days when they had breaks in the afternoon in seventh grade. They also recall staying after school to learn how to slide down the hall. Students also remember how some classmates have stood out since first grade as being special. They rewarded these people by giving them a spot on the Senior Superlative list. These few people excelled above the rest in a certain way — whether it was by being exceptionally smart, comical, quiet, or something serious. — Amberdawn Overstreet Senior Class Officers: Angela Dews — secretary, Andrea Nichols — vice president, Benita Calloway treasurer, and Sarah men Brubaker — president Senior Superlatives at Mansion Bridge: Front Row: Class Flirts: Jess Lewis and Crystal Myers; Best All Around: Shannon Melvin and Mark Henry; Class Clowns: Robbie Hodnett and Sherry Brown; Second Row: Most Cooperative: Chris Pickeral and ery.

Mark has had eight years of experience with percussion in- struments like tympani, tri-toms, snare and bass drums. As well as being drum captain for the marching band, his most recent achievement was playing in a country-rock band, “Essence.” He has also performed with a contemporary gospel group, “Young Believers’, with whom he sang and played his drum set. Two former drum captains of the marching band influenced Mark’s in- terest in music. Attending Ferrum College Band Camp the summer before his sophomore year, he learned respon- sibility and leadership abilities. Mark plans to begin summer classes at CVCC and continue through the fall quarter. At this point he wants to trans- fer, but he is undecided about which college. During the second quarter, he intends to audition for a Drum Corp In- ternational, preferably the Garfield Cadets from New Jersey. Drum corps consist of only the top rated drummers who tour the United States and Canada. “It’s a challenging hobby,” Mark said, “but I really enjoy what I’m doing.” Mark hopes to continue with a part-time career in percussion, but plans to main- tain a full-time career in engineering. — Andrea Nichols Man of many talents, Mark Miller shows his technique on the drums.

Gene Aims High In the army, navy, air force, or marines, a young man or woman can acquire the knowl- edge and the ability to become a success in civilian life. Many students considered going into the armed forces after graduation. There they can receive training in many technical fields such as computers and mechanics. One senior who has decided to sign up for the armed forces is Gene Duff. Currently a member of the Army National Guard, he will join the Air Force several months after gradua- tion. Gene has chosen the Air Force because of the job opportunities in aerodynamics and engineering. wo other seniors planning to enter the service are Patricia Arnold and Sylvester Toller. Seeking training in welding, Sylvester hoped to join the army. — Greg Gerling ave You eard? Pause in any hallway or stop at any locker, and this was what one might hear: ‘‘Did you know that ‘John’ is going with ‘Carol’?’’, “Guess who’s in ISS”, or maybe even “Did you go to tha t party last night?’”” Gossiping was something students handled well. Between classes and before homeroom groups of students gathered at their certain spots and talked about the latest happenings. Seniors did most of their gossiping in the down stairs hall or in the room of a popular teacher. Some hung out in the smoking area. During lunch many seniors ate together at their favorite table and talked about advanced biology labs or the difficult government test they had taken that morning.

Money for decorations had to be raised, and a place to have Prom had to be chosen. The ex- pense for sucha gala event was taken for granted until the junior year when students realized how much work suppported Prom. One fundraiser the juniors sponsored was a dance in September. Admissions profits were put aside for the “Prom- fund.’’ The most important money- maker, however, the selling of magazines, records, and tapes, took place in March. The juniors got a percentage of the profit on every item sold, Other than support for Prom, in- centives were given individually to students. Prizes for sellng a certain amount were given, and prizes were also awarded to the highest overall sellers.

Mrs. Martin had her students ponder such classics as The Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, Huckleberry Finn, and The Red Badge of Courage. “I found reading the classics very interest- ing, because Mrs. Martin was enthusi- astic and her enthusiam carried over into _ class discussions.” stated junior Myra Peavey. Throughout the school year, juniors tackled many projects associated with English. To expand the students’ _knowledge on the writings of Mark Twain and Edgar Allan Poe, Mrs. Martin's classes took an excursion to the _ Roanoke Civic Center. Students saw dramatic scenes from Huckleberry Finn and three exerpts from Poe’s gothic short stories. When asked about his feelings concerning how this trip turned out, junior Mike Hancock replied, “It was a different kind of school day.” One of the main goals of eleventh grade English was to increase the saan ieiean tar iteineiceius louis erCRS on ASUARIMAM MANES yciniaienaisiniahl NCW EN Classic Comebacks vocabulary of every student and overcome the preferred local dialect. To reach this goal, students were given weekly vocabulary tests. They were also required to read one book each month for a book report. To keep the reports from being monotonous, different forms, like making collages to illustrate the books, were done. Allin all, a whole different world was revealed to the English classes from Jonathan Edwards to Emily Dickenson; from Ernest Hemmingway to John Updike, juniors lives will never be the same. The influence of these great writers was profound. Being thankful for the lives they now lead was the basic sentiment of all the juniors after reading selections by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Arthur Miller, as well as many others. “Even the most conservative life seems liberated after reading about those of the early Puritans,’” commented junior Deena Merrit. — Shannon Melvin and Deena Merritt sisson esscaeienbubcneia talepeeetsicec tetas ioe nbn Greg Gerling Doug Gillespie Gina Goad Dawn Graham Todd Hailey Michael Hancock Travis Hedrick Annalee Hoover Pam Huffman Bret Jennings Christie Keatts DeeDee Keesee Tony Kegley Clifton Lee Connie Lee Juniors 85 Partying Studying Driving, dating, jobs ... none curricular, but all were definitely im- portant.

The discipline and self- reliance they studied in English Il as they read Thoreau’s Walden became relevant.

The only place juniors could take these was at CVCC, a 20 minute drive. Thanks to Campbell County, as of February 19, students could go to Vo-Tech instead. These classes, held on Wednesday night for nine weeks at a cost of $40, taught students to associate words, how to im- prove their vocabulary, and to brush up on math skills. Timed practice tests were administered, then scored, to show students their strengths and weaknesses. Scores improved, as a rule, from fifty to a hundred points which showed participants the value of their in- vestment. — Tammy Cox Run, Mandy, Run!

Some sophomores felt under- privileged and spited when they thought of graduation, and they had the right to! Their class was the first class to experience higher academic standards for graduation. Starting with the Class of '88 students were required to have twenty credits for a regular diploma, in- stead of nineteen, and twenty-three credits for an advanced diploma, up one from the c lasses above them. Besides the credits, students were required to take stricter academic classes. They were required to take an extra year of math, foreign language, and science. ‘Although the sophomores might object to the higher standards, they were based on the State Department of Educa- tion’s recognizing the need for addi- tional academic classes to compete in the job field.” commented Mrs. Margaret Dowdy, Guidance Director, Amberdawn Overstreet Dissecting brings dread to every student's mind g Making the best of a tough situation are Stacy Hall ind Stephanie Bennett dissecting a frog PF� . 90 Sophomores Gossip!

They sponsored a Valentine’s Day dance and a flower sale to raise money for the prom. They felt that an added edge was needed to host the prom that every class dreams of having. The sophomores also had a major decision to make in choosing a class ring company.

After two years in the middle school, the class of ‘89 was ready for a definite change and an exciting challenge. Being part of the high school meant they had more privileges such as playing varsity sports. Along with the privileges came more responsibilities such as preparing for college. Freshmen now put away childish things and started preparing for the future. They began thinking about careers, college, and electives. Freshmen were prepared to handle pressure from their peers. They tried not to be influenced by the upper classmen because they were now being role models for the uprising middle school students.

They now attended high school where students had to be more account- able for their actions. However, the best thing about being a ninth grader was having more freedom and privileges. One of these privileges, which was especially popular, was being able to eat in the halls during lunch. Here it was easier to talk with friends. Also being allowed to eat in the halls relieved the monotony of an often crowded lunch- room Freshman were allowed to choose from more electives, mostly sciences and foreign languages, which gave them a much broader choice of classes. In addi- tion ninth graders could schedule a study hall which made it easier to cope with the high school life style. Freshman were also eligible to play varsity sports. Although they were eligible, it was rare for a freshman to play varsity football or basketball. Kelvin Poindexter, Richard Thornhill, Kevin Moorman, David Pennell, and John Lowe, proved to be the exception to the rule by playing on the basketball team. One sport that all freshman could parti- cipate in was varsity track. Except for this most ninth graders played JV sports.

This illness revealed itself in the freshman student in many ways. Like a mouse in a maze, the freshman became puzzled and disoriented in his new and unfamiliar surroundings. ‘He just walked around as if he had no place to go; trying to hang with the ‘crowd’ but not really fitting in,” observed junior Desi Shelton. But soon the freshman overcame his fears and began to work his way through the thicket. The freshman was deter- mined to prove that he could play an im- portant role in the function of the high school. With the election of Karen Heaphy, Angie Poe, Holly Collins, and Tabby Bennett as freshmen class officers and the placement of Kam Goldsmith in the executive position of SCA Secretary, the freshmen class was well represented. Freshmen Richard Thornhill and Kevin Mooreman, as well as Dale Pannell, Shannon Dawson, and Donald Williams, made important contributions to the Boys’ Basketball teams. Kim Trent, Angie Poe, and Lisa Boley led their J.V Girls’basketball team to a successful season. These were only a few accomplish- ments made by the freshmen class.

Eighth graders were allowed to take foreign languages for the first time. They chose between Latin I and Spanish I. Other high school classes were offered to eighth graders. Students who were gifted in math were able to take Algebra |, which gave them a head start. Eighth graders were also able to take Art I, In- dustrial Arts, Home Economics, and Band. One thing about being an eighth grader that turned out to be a real drag was taking exams. This was the first time 102 Eighth Graders these students had to take an examina- tion that covered a vast amount of material. Students learned very quickly how important it was to keep track of what went on each six weeks, because it was on the finals. One thing about being an eighth grader that wasn’t such a drag was being able to go into the upstairs middle school hallway at 1 p.m., during lunch. Students were privileged to do this as long as they behaved well. Although they couldn’t eat in the hallway, students found this a great time for talking with friends. — by Greg Gerling ry � Vy NV oe how much the coins are worth per __ Exhibiting his talent, Dexter Brown break dances ram are Matthew Farmer, Wayne Hart, Keith in Mrs. Pressley’s English class.

Many students felt as though they were rulers and that they controlled the mood, attitude, and behavior of the seventh graders.

They were willing to lend a helping hand to other students who were struggling and confused. ey see bere — - a, 4 ie = Wain” 4 104 Eighth Graders The eighth graders in the middle school were similar to the seniors in the high school.

There were many things to adjust to — the different people and procedures of Altavista Middle School, not to mention the high school students. Beginning seventh grade was a scary experience. Simple things such as remembering library numbers and locker combina- tions were difficult adjustments for seventh graders. At the beginning of seventh grade each student was assigned a library number needed to check out a book. This number would be used for the remainder of the school years. Also, locker combinations were assigned to each student. No longer would students carry a stack of books. ; NRL = Seventh Graders lovee Darvel ; ‘ Lhave Lewes Diave Mebnuds Diaves Mw lappy 106 Changes They could leave all of their possessions and books in their own locker. While combinations proved difficult to master, seventh graders eventually got the hang of them. Having seven teachers instead of just three called another adjustment. In the sixth grade students had one teacher for several subjects; however, in the seventh grade there was a different teacher for each subject. This meant more names to remember and much more homework! “Although there were a lot of things to get used to, seventh grade is a lot better than sixth grade because of the new atmosphere,” commented Holly Yeatts. — Amberdawn Overstreet re ree sae gar An essential key to learning is concentration.

Seventh graders had a variety of opinions on being in the middle school. The results of a survey showed most preferred middle school to elementary school. They felt older and found more advantages. They enjoyed having their own lockers which gave them a sense of privacy. They were also given more responsibility. In elementary school students were required to stay in the cafeteria before homeroom. Now, as seventh graders, they were allowed to roam the halls and talk to friends. They also enjoyed the time between classes as a break and a chance to socialize. At lunch time they were given a choice of two lunch lines and were allowed to eat in the halls. For seventh graders this = | mann Nef 4 : : my Te r 108 Seventh Graders seemed like utopia. There were some rules with which middle schoolers did not agree. They were not allowed to go into the high school area, where they felt the action was located. They also ate on the last lunch, when most of them were “starving’’. They were also required to be in class on time. If not, they were sent to the office for a note. Seventh graders found disciplinary procedures much harder. All in all, they adapted very well.

Not only because this was the only country on the tour that she hadn't visited, but also because of her fascination with Grace Kelly. A cruise up the Seine River into France and a hover- craft ride over the English Channel back to England topped off this racy, yet leisure, trip. ‘‘We were always on the go, sometimes getting up and out by five or six in the morning and not getting back until late in the night.

They throw clipboards and towels when they are mad. In frustration they even run on the field and yell at officials. However, coaches do their job. They scout the opposition, plan game strate- gies, and listen to irate fans. They spend long hours in hot gyms and on damp fields. They ride buses to and from games and teach classes the next day. But mostly they are there to enjoy the victories and to suffer in defeat. Tammy Bragg Working out a cramp for Rodney Thornhill is Coach Dean Hubbard.

Donald also came close to breaking the A.H.S. record but missed only by ten seconds. Other front runners were Jimmy Phillips, Chris Pickeral, and Stacey Younger.

A Time For REBUILDING Rebuilding was the order for the J.V. basketball team. Besides losing key players, the team was at a dis- advantage by not having much height or many experienced players. ‘“Even though we had some girls returning, they just didn’t have the experience or the playing time that our team needed,’’stated Coach Carol Bradley. However, the girls came together as a team and selected Angie Poe as their Captain. The opening game at Nelson County ended ona sad note as the girls lost 30-15. However, they didn’t let the upset get them down. The following weeks were tough. Coach Bradley stated Liberty and Brookville were their teams to beat for the season, but the girls lost to the two teams in tight games. The Colonelettes were able to get back at Nelson for their upset earlier in the season. Playing the undefeated Nelson County team at home, the Colonelettes rolled by them, 48-36, proving they couldn’t be beaten twice in one season. Much of the team’s success was attributed to Angie Poe who scored 133 points for the season and Tausha Williams who got 189 rebounds. Coach Bradley concluded that at the beginning of the season she had no definite line up. Through hard work the girls posted a win- ning season. Also the final game of the season against Appomattox, which they won 27-21, ended the season on a successful note with a 10-6 record. — Tammy Bragg Look Out! Here comes Angie Poe from be- hind to steal the ball. Angie Started for the team and aided her teammates’ scoring with her quickness.

On December 20, the young Colonels came back froma twenty-two point deficit to defeat the Knights by three in overtime. That wasn’t the only breath-taking event. They also defeated a 6-1 Jefferson Forest team 52-42. As the season progressed the team jelled. Coach Dean Hubbard Snatching another rebound, Chris Robinson powers his way through the pack.

The Colonelettes jumped ahead early wearing out the Cavaliers quickly. The first match ended 15-3. The Colon- elettes only needed one more win to be the Seminole District Tourna- ment Champions.

The band relied on the parents of members who worked the trade lot for financial support. The boosters raised money for a new equipment bus which they also refurbished. They planned to send the band on a fun day trip in the spring. Frances Hutcherson bought all members orange sweatshirts with the band emblem on the front. The athletic department received money and hard work form the Exchange Club and the Colonel Club. This enabled the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams to get new uniforms; the football team, new white jerseys; and the cheerleaders, new sweaters. The gym floor was also redone. Local businesses supported the Nuntius by buying $3500 worth of ads.

Spring 1986 contained many such memories: the seventh and eighth grade field trips, the ICT-COE picnic, the production of GREASE, the Academic Awards Banquet, National Honor Society induction, Fine Arts Night, Prom at the Hilton, Morp, Foreign Language Week, a wrap-up of all the sports with tournaments, and the Sports Banquet. All these memories were shared by a wide range of students, but some of the best memories for the graduating class were those shared within their class alone. The Class of ’86 will remember their court trip, ‘senior skip day”’ at the lake, receiving caps and gowns, turning in that last research paper for A.P.

One Magical Night After selling magazines, the junior class raised $1,600 for the ‘big night’ at the Hilton, then April 26 arrived. The backdrop was in place for pictures and the disk jockey contracted. After washing cars, press- ing dresses, and ordering flowers, couples appeared ready for the magical night. A typical evening began with a knock at the front door. As it opened, a nervous date slowly entered the living room to see his girl descend the stairs. The two exchanged flowers, posed for pictures, then left for dinner. When they arrived at that speci al restaurant, chivalry took command. “Sit tight,” he ordered as he jumped out to open her door like a perfect gentlemen. Through each course of dinner, they remembered the etiquette their parents had drilled in them earlier. When they reached the Hilton, the couple stood in line for an eternity to take more pictures. Finally they entered the ballroom and seated themselves at the edge of the dance floor under a crystal chandlier, a big change from the old gym with streamers getting in the way. They danced to the music of Loverboy, Falco, and who else but Hank Williams, Jr. They had the rare opportunity to watch chaperones, Mrs. Johelen Martin, Mr. Tom Fielder, and Miss Deborah Mason ‘get down’ and do the Twist. They watched seven of their friends play in an air band. About quarter til twelve, they left the sound of Astro- Disco. As they pulled into her drive and he walked her to the door, the night ended with a soft kiss making it more than a night to remember. — Sonya Douthat and Tammy Bragg Prom 3 Experience Tells the Tale Experience played an im- portant role in the success of the girls’ tennis team while a lack of depth made the year tough for the boys’. [The girls were led by seniors Kristi Ottinger and Mary Eubanks and also had the help of veteran juniors Christina Steiger, Lori Tyler, Annalee Hoover, and Mandy Walker. The team finished the regular season in a second place tie with Rustburg but then lost to the Red Devils in the district tournament. Kristi, in her second year at number one, won the in- dividual district title for the regular season, the district and region tournaments, and went on to compete on the state level in Radford. Kristi and Mary also had a successful year playing number one doubles. They were runners-up in both the Seminole District and Region li] Tournaments [he boys’ team was led by seniors John Steele and Mark Henry. Glenn Mattox and Duane Rader also played con- sistently better throughout the season. Although the team improved tremendous- ly from start to finish, inex- perience and a lack of depth kept the guys from qualifying for the district tournament. They did, however, eliminate Rustburg from the tourna- ment with a late season victory. Top seed John Steele entered the individual tournament seeded third in the district and upset the second seed before losing a long three-setter in the dis- trict finals, 4-6, 6-0, 5-7. John advanced to the regional tournament where he lost in the semifinals. John and Mark also qualified for the district doubles tournament. They were defeated by Liberty in the semifinals.

Track 7 A Time To Rebuild The baseball and softball records did not speak well of the seasons, but the teams had ability to win. ‘‘Even though the team ended witha 5-13 record, the season was successful,’’ said Coach Donnie Vaden. The team im- proved tremendously and won two of its last three games. Rodney Singleton and Jeff Bolling were both nominated as all-district players. Rodney had a .431 batting average and led the team in hits and stolen bases. Jeff posted a .377 average Varsity Baseball Nelson (yretna W. Campbell Buckingham Rustburg Liberty |]. Forest Brook, ille Appomattox 8 Baseball with seven doubles and twelve RBI's. Blair Wolfe was also a leading hitter with a .321 average. Ken Treadway and Doug Gillespie took the main responsibility of pitch- ing. The strengths of the team rested with the pitchers throwing strikes and maintaining a low number of walks. The main weakness was an overall team batting average of .237 and a total pitching ERA of over 6. The team won their season opener against Nelson and then two games against Jefferson Forest. They lost a close midseason game to William Campbell 1-0. Coach Carol Bradley, like Coach Vaden, felt that her team’s overall record did not reflect the way they played. Although the softball team finished its season with a record of 2-15, Ms. Bradley felt that the team’s playing had definitely inrproved. Better hitting was a key factor. Also, having Carrie Organ in center field and senior Tammy Bragg in left was an asset. However, one of the weaker points was observed in pitching. Senior Debra Burch posted the highest batting average with a .483. She also had .4 RBI’s and 27 stolen bases. Angie Poe, Carrie Organ, Michelle Payne and Kathy Mitchell were young players who gained playing time. — Bret Jennings and Shannon Melvin Following through with his swing, John Wormuth lines the ball up the middle.

The program began with the chorus, directed by Mr. Edwin Temples. The eight- member group sang mostly contemporary music plus a spiritual. The jazz band, also directed by Mr. Temples, followed. The band played a variety of pop music ranging from ‘Basin Street Blues” to ‘Material Girl.’’ The jazz band was a special group of people in that each person had to audition to be in this band. Art work prepared by middle school and high school students was dis- played for viewing. Mrs. Chris Crist and Mrs. Virginia Tucker instructed such projects as cartoon drawing, three dimensionals, and scratch art. Concert band was composed of middle school and high school band. The two groups presented music separately and together. é The Art Show is one of the main attractions during Fine Arts Night. Mrs. Virginia Davis, an art apne at Lynchburg College, judged the high school art exhibits. Music was chosen to enhance the musicians’ techniques. Awards were given to art and band students. In middle school and high school art winners were: Mike Terry, Kelvin Poindexter, Kari Page, Melinda Little, Charles Burger, Melissa Wood, Stacey Dews, Lori Tyler, and Sarah Jane Brubaker. Band awards were given to: Jason Porter, Audrey Farmer, Mandy Walker, and Marisa Tolley. The John Phillip Sousa Award went to Sarah Jane Brubaker. — Jeff Hammack The swing-beat of ‘’Band- stand Boogie,”” the pop, up-beat sound of ‘Material Girl,” and the soft, romantic tunes of ‘What About Me” got the audience into the mood for Fine Arts Night. The Jazz Band is organized each spring.

Awards Banquet, honor roll students received a medallion while principal’s list students received a T-shirt for making the list once; an engraved key ring for two times; a plaque for three; a Jefferson cup for four times; and a trophy for five. During the Awards ceremony, guest speaker, Dr. Suzanne Johnson, advised students to concentrate on areas they are good in until they reach the point of ex- cellence. “Excellence is what you desire, not what can be measured by a paycheck or grade,” added Dr. Johnson. Outstanding athletes and other special contributors to the athletic program were honored at the Sports Banquet on May 23 at the Armory. The Colonel Club awarded seniors Mark Henry and Benita Calloway for achieving the highest grade point average. Cliff Lee was recognized for getting school records in achieving the most points in a meet (42) and in the 300m Intermediate Hurdles (39.2).
