Whether your preference be bluegrass, classical, country, disco, folk, jazz, opera, R B, rock, soul, or Gregorian chants, you are probably one of the millions who spend a great deal of their waking hours listening to or otherwise enjoying music. “Gettin’ down” on the dance floor has become one of America’s most popular pastimes; especially with the recent surge of disco and a return to “structured” dances. The multimillion dollar music industry is evidence of our gusto for song. Some are fortunate enough not only to be able to enjoy music by listening, but can create it as well. This ability has served as an outlet for emotion and creative expression for centuries. The instruments used to make these ideas audible are as varied as the thoughts themselves: from the human voice to the five-string banjo which had its origin here in Appomattox County. Music is truly an art form “of the people, by the people, and for the people”. It’s readily available, doesn’t have to cost much, and comes in enough varieties to please everyone. So go to a dance. Put on some headphones. Sit down at that old, neglected piano and see what you can do. Just “make your own kind of music”.

Sea eee rei: tf ee re te We've Come A Long Way With FFA We’ve come a long way with FFA. Vocational Agriculture implements of nearly fifty years ago as decorations carried out this theme. The F FA nominated over thirty girls for sweetheart but by the evening of the dance the original field had been reduced to only four girls. Each class had a representative with Nancy Stratton, Kathy Johnson, Tina Doss and Jayne Doss in the running, with Robin Moore, Donald Parris, Terry Almond and Skebo Ferguson, respectively, as escorts. Nancy Stratton was crowned 1977 FFA Sweetheart by last year’s Sweetheart Ruth Stratton, while Hat Creek took a break.
