Jf (Sill Ak ' Jay Sharpe AS INDIVIDUAL AS YOU ARE Approximately one-half of the calendar year is spent going to school. Though attendance is mandatory, it ' s during this time that lots of friendships and good times are made. Each student contributes something a little different to BHS. So this book ' s for the one that makes it all so distinctive: YOU Donna Atwell FACES OH SO Everybody invariably turns to the classes section to see himself and friends. Look hard and notice how each face is personal, dif- ferent, and special. GMipe Williams, Tom and Donna urpin each have ar ssfons tiv camera. 1 10 Throughout our past four years at BHS we, the class of 1977, eagerly anticipated becoming Seniors. Seniors had always seemed so sophisti- cated and respected, so sure of themselves. When we finally reached our senior year, we found that merely being a senior didn ' t earn one confidence and respect. Each member of the class of ' ll was becoming an individual. Our class encompassed many varied people who had different talents, likes and dislikes, values, and expectations of the future. Nevertheless, our class was bound by a sense of unity. Some natu- rally felt it more acutely than others, but we were all proud to be members of the class of ' ll . Over our high school years, although we began to follow our own interests, the spirit of our class remained. We saw our teams through the despair of de- feat and the joys of hard won victories. When situations got us down, we pulled together, only to discover that we had become closer through these struggles. Our class had never been as close as it was before the Annual Dance or when we won the Spirit Stick. New options were offered to our class. In our junior year, we chose between the traditional class ring and the dinner ring. For our senior year, we were offered choices of a summer graduation or early dismissal from each school day. Eleven of our classmates received their di- plomas on August 13, 1976. Many more were in school less than the usual seven periods; in fact, some stayed only for two classes. When we finally reached the top of the Totem pole, we turned more than ever before to members of our own class for companionship. We realized that this final year was our last chance to get to know some of our classmates. In the future when we reminisce about our Good ole high school days we will remember the closeness that we felt all through school, a closeness that was especially strengthened dur- ing our Senior year at BHS. Sports At the 1976 Fall Sports i Banquet, seniors athletes received various awards. Gory Taylor was awarded I the most valuable Cross Country Runner Award. In Girls ' Basketball Katie Heisketl received the Top ' Senior Girls ' Basketball ■ Player; Adrienne Turner I was awarded the Team : Player Award; and Lisa I McDaniels was presented i the All ' Round Basketball J Player Award.

PSAT NMSQT Three BHS j seniors were honored with | certificates for extremely ■; high scores in the PSAT • tests taken in the spring of v 1976. Charles Adler, Leah j Teakell, and Andrew Fair- bairn were all semi-finalists ■ in national competition, = scoring in the top 16% in the country. Also honored for high scores with letters of ] commendation were Jim Gaines, Jeff Martens, Cas- J sie Prestrude, Heather ' Cairns and Dean Miller. The tests, taken at the end of the | junior year, tested students in the areas of English, So- ■] cial Studies, Science, and ;; Math. 12 Girls ' and Boys ' State Nine se- niors from BHS spent the week of June 13-19, 1976 at the An- nual Girls ' and Boys ' State. The purpose of these programs was to enable students to better un- derstand how the state and na- tional governments operate. The students divided into groups known as cities, and participated in elections and conventions. The BHS representatives to 1976 Girls ' State at Longwood College were: Anne Giles, Ad- rienne Turner, Carol Slayton, and Tammy Wohiford. Alter- nates to Girls ' State were Katie Heiskell, Lisa McDonieis, and Beth Phlegar. The 1976 Boys ' State was held at Lynchburg College and Gary Lytton, Currin Snipes, Scott Worner, Bob Hill, and Skip Lewis represented BHS. OAR The DAR Good Citizenship Award for 1977, sponsored by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was presented to Carol Slayton. The recipient ' s classmates nominated candi- dates and the faculty made the final choice from the top three nominees. Betty Crocker In December, 1976 many seniors participated in the Betty Crocker Testing Program. [ This test included questions from many areas of study, in- cluding homemaking. The recip- ient of the Betty Crocker Award was Beth Benoit. Skip Lewis, Bob Hill, Scott Worner, Currin Snipes, Gory Lytton. Carol Slayton receives the DAR award in 1976 - 77 . Counselor Doris Abraham discusses the importance of the Betty Crocker test with winner Beth Benoit. i 1 13 SEniORS: THE LAST 180 DRYS GIVE OR TRKE R FEUJ Richard Absher Dawn Acuff Charles Adler Mike Akers Patty Albert Ricky Alcorn Patty Allen Russ Andrew Cindy Baker Stuart Baker Beverly Barker Louis Bates Chandra Beane Beth Benoit Mike Bevins Susan Bishop 14 Susan Bland Hugh Bode 1 1 Paula Boles Carlyle Bowers With the assistance of Josten representative, Don Schley, and Annette Perkins, senior class sponsor, se- niors order caps, gowns, announcements, and all other oaraphanelia needed for graduation.

High School ' s almost over, ju st like a song. Soon all the familiar faces will fade. Some never to be seen again, and others wishing they had stayed. It ' s strange to think you might not see your best friend again. But life is full of strangeness, fears and pain. You ' ve got to keep on going, never looking back. Because when you look, everything seems black. Everyone has to grow up, but why so fast? Soon all from today will be old and past. It ' s sad to think of going away. But life keeps on going, and there ' s no way to make it stay.

Pride in our coaches because we knew they were the best, in ourselves because we knew everyone gave all he had. We practiced as a team, played as a team, won as a team; and lost as a team. The most important thing I ' ve learned from athletic competi- tion at BHS is, whatever you give to a cause, that ' s exactly what it gives you in return. As a team we gave 101% and we were all winners.

For the first time, they were able to choose their places on the se- nior radiator. Every morning since school began this year, seniors have always gathered at their favorite rendezvous to talk about their exciting and or boring weekends. J.D. Dymock and Ricky McMahan are seen here waiting early in the morning for all other seniors to congregate.

Has it really been twelve years? It seems like yesterday 1 was still a freshman. With each step ! take, it ' s like sand slipping through my hands. It ' s come and gone. I ' ve learned. I ' ve enjoyed. I ' ve made life-long friends. Where do I go to now? My thoughts are shattered. I extend my hand and receive a small rolled paper. Congratulations, son! In only a second the hard road behind turns to gold, and now a long, dusty road appears before me. Still I can ' t comprehend. Has it really gone so fast? The last grain of sand slips through my hands. Skip Lewis ' 77 in memory of ken horrison When he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; for without words, in friendship, all thoughts; all desires; all ex- pectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his ab- sence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

This year the class of 1978 tried its hand at funding and creating the Annual dance, Through the Looking Glass, and presenting the junior class ploy, The Mouse Thot Roored. The junior year was also an important academic year with term papers, PSAT NMSQT ' s, SAT ' s, and grades which were to demonstrate the qualifications of college-bound students at application time, in addition, the juniors were oble to see where they placed among their classmates when given their class ranks. Grades for three years brought reward for a few at the close of their junior year. Those who earned a 3.5 grade average received an academic letter, a symbol of scholastic achievement. Sports-inclined juniors were promoted to varsity teams and, in the stands, their fellow classmates supported them. Junior spirit won the class of ' 78 the Spirit Stick at a pep rally prior to the Blacksburg-Galax football game which won our team the New River District Cham- pionship. Early, in the first week of October, many juniors or- dered their long awaited class rings. Class rings, to these students, were a symbol of their achievements, their class, their school, and simply, a source of pride. Lastly, this year brought new freedom to the junior class.

Some wondered just what being a sophomore meant. Was sophomore simply a nicer word for underclassmen than freshman had been? The Sophomore year was often considered little more than a transitional period between being a looked down upon freshman and an upperclass junior. Not so. There were, in fact, several new privileges and respon- sibilities which came with being a tenth grader: class meetings, class dues, and fund raisings, behind the wheel driving class, choir positions, intramural volleyball and no more having to sit in the auditorium balcony at as- semblies. One year ' s passing not only brought the sophomores new privileges and responsibilities, but an even greater distinction — growing maturity. Being another year older and having another year ' s worth of experience, the class of ' 79 had a special place here at Blacksburg High in its sophomore year. Perhaps this new maturity surfaced at a football game as the sophomores demonstrated heightened spirit, or at a club meeting as they took an active port in creating new service and fund raising ideas. Their newfound maturity was also a service to the sophomores themselves — maybe this year, they got as- signments done, better and on time, that they might not have last year. At lost it was time for the class of ' 79 to move on, to become upperclassmen, gain new responsibilities, privi- leges, greater maturity, and to put to use another year of experiences.

Moving on, the freshmen asked many ques- tions. The questions were significant of a search, a search for their place at Blacksburg High School. The cause of uncertainty to many of these freshmen, was their new status. In the eighth grade, they were the oldest and highest ranking group at the Middle School. Entering high school, as with most organizations, they came in at the bottom and, in the course of a year, went from being top dogs to being underdogs. Some new high schoolers succumbed to the stigmas of being freshmen and yet, others ig- nored status barriers and considered themselves equal to the other classes. Although they didn ' t have the same privileges as their seniors here at Blacksburg High, they did establish themselves as individuals and made their own personal con- tributions. There personal contributions varied with the individuals. Many, getting caught up in the ac- tive life of high school, did their part in clubs, classes, and sports. They may have even been surprised that, while they were learning from the other, more experienced students, those stu- dents were in turn learning from them. After summoning the courage to answer a question or voice an opinion in the classroom, they found that the others, freshmen, sophomores and up- perclassmen, alike, listened to them.

Soon her responsibilities were expanded beyond the limits of her own classroom so that she became a helper to students and teachers alike. She has worked diligently to help each person with his par- ticular concerns. Regardless of whether the problem was a col- lege application that needed to be completed or a student with new school jitters, she was there and ready to help. She did not question the seriousness or importance of a problem. She worked from the basis that if it was a problem for a student or teacher then it concerned her, too, and it deserved immediate and individual consideration. We thank her for such personal at- tention and genuine interest. The 1976-77 ROW WOW staff proudly dedicates this 1976-77 ROW WOW to Mrs. Doris T. Abraham. In the Social )l Studies office, Mrs. Abrohom listens MR. HEISKELL Even without added obstacles, Mr. Heiskeli ' s job wos a difficult one, as principal of the largest school in Montgomery County. As the year started, his job was especially demanding with the vacancy created by the designation of the academic ossistant principal. Nevertheless, Mr. Heiskell managed to lead Blacksburg High School in a successful school opening. Working with teachers and students, Mr. Heiskell was able to keep BHS running smoothly and efficiently. One benefit that enhanced Mr. Heiskeli ' s respon- sibilities this year was watching his daughter and her ac- tive high school career at Blacksburg. More than just a man completing tasks assigned to him as one worker in the system, Mr. Heiskell took a personal and individual interest in the success of BHS os it was to affect his life and the lives of those around him. Mrs. Abraham works on a one-to-one basis with Derek Lee on SAT scores. Mr. Heiskell completes never-ending paper work. 59 The task of being principal of vocational edu- cation belonged to Mr. Alfred Smith this year. This was the third year he has been in charge of keeping the largest vocational school in the New River District running smoothly. Having attended Virginia State, University of Virginia, and Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Smith earned his B.S. degree in Industrial Arts Education and his M.S. degree in Education. Though the respon- sibilities of being vocational principal fill much of Mr. Smith ' s time, he does like to fish and to hunt when time permits. MR. SMITH Mr. Alfred Smith MR. YODER New to Blacksburg High School ' s administra- tion this year was Mr. Ed Yoder. Replacing Mr. Richardson as assistant principal, he took on the tasks of discipline, early dismissals, admit slips, and other various jobs of authority. Dr. Yoder attended Ohio State University and received a B.S., and M.S., and a Ph.D. In his spare time he enjoys woodworking and collecting antique fur- niture. Mr. Ed Yoder 60 P What can be said about the cafeteria and custodial staff? They were the backbone of the school, coming to work sometimes as early as 6:30, to prepare BHS for another full day. Often they stayed until 7:00, cleaning and vacuuming, keep- ing our school as new and beautiful as possible. The cafeteria staff was faced with preparing a satisfying and inexpen- sive breakfast and lunch for 1100 students. Though we often overlooked these people or took them for granted, their presence was felt daily and their efforts were greatly appreciated.

Teachers expressed their individuality by their methods of teaching. Each teacher had a unique trademark which made each special to the stu- dents he taught. Often imme- diate identification of a teacher took no more than frequently used sayings such as Miss Pauley ' s Little per- son, Mr. Sellers ' People, I give, or Mr. Johnson ' s Are there any questions? Are there any answers? These, in addition to varied personal ef- forts, made each teacher dif- ferent from his colleagues and distinct in the minds of BHS students. Donna B.

Spring Festival 1 976 appropriately fol- lowed a bicentennial theme as the Stu- dent Council celebrated this annual event in April. Entertainment ranged from emotion-fiiled poetry reodings by students, Susi Schoenhuber and Elaine Tuennerman, to square dancing and folk music. Anna Mario Salinas joined Jay Bell and Bobby Bryant in song as the two played guitar and banjo. The high- light of the evening emerged as Lonce Weisend and Beth Byers were crowned Rex and Regina of the 1 976 Spring Fes- tival. The two reigned over the festival ceremonies and entertainment. Keeping with tradition, eight senior girls passed the honor of the iaure! chain to eight deserving junior girls. These eight girls were chosen on the basis of their scholastic excellence and high class ranks.

Scott Worner gets into the spirit of the ' 50s on oldie costume day. The Class of ' 77 brought Homecoming Week to an enthusiastic close by winning the coveted Spirit Stick. This was the fourth consecutive year that this class had won the Spirit Stick, a symbol of student and doss enthusiasm. Earlier in the week, students showed their spirit by participating in the Spirit Days. Monday brought banners on pockets, sleeves, and pants proclaiming support of the football team. Tues- day was a day of crazy socks and even crazier hats. Wednesday was Hall Day which won the sophoqiores the award for most decorative hall. The past came back for a day os Thursday saw the school teeming with characters from the ' 50s. Friday, fittingly, was a day of mourning for Glenvar, as the Varsity Football Team was to shut out Glenvar, 27-0. Besides the victory over Glenvar, the week was highlighted with the presentation of the Homecoming Court. At half-time of Friday night ' s game, Becky Wise was crowned Home- coming Queen amid tears of joy. This sign, hung on Hall Day, proves true as the Indians wipe out Glenvar, 27-0. 85 CAMDLELIGI T ADDS Students dance energetically to the stimulating music of the band.

Pow Wow’s STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 1977 Getting To Class Have you ever had one of those days when, no matter how you try, you find yourself about two minutes behind schedule and late for every class? Then, on other days, you amble carelessly to class, perhaps stopping at the drinking fountain for some water and talking with friends but, without fail, you make it to class with time to spare. Chronic tardiness is a symptom which plagues a vast number of ; ■ Blacksburg High School students. While some are late on purpose, others are victims of some sort of physical barrier. Most often, this barrier takes the form of other students. Feeling like a salmon struggling upstream, one pushes one ' s way against the flow of bodies which seems to take away any yardage one gains going down the hall. Then again, getting caught behind a couple of casual i:- ; strolling students is just T , as hindering and especially irritating when there is an ' • empty hallway ahead of ' them. One might be tempted : to shout, Feet do your stuff, and to break into a jV T run with one ' s arms stretched ahead in order to part the crowd. That, how- ; ever, would not do at all if j these few crazed tardies ■ . felled all the students in iTi their paths, not to mention ; the tragedy of a head on collision between two such travelers. Elaine Tuennerman Even after the tardy bell has rung a few stragglers can still be found in the halls. Finally the hallways are completely cleared and ; classes are begun. Crowded Hallways - Over- crowded hallways can really be a utroblem. Often they make you late for class, ■Put that isn ' t usually minded as much as the discomfort of all the bodies. So what is to be lone about the situation? Well, you can al- tyays scream fire; that would certainly clear • he halls, but the ensueing stampede could t;rush you in the hurry! Or you can elbow ind shove your way through. (Just make ure the person you push is smaller than you (ire!). Also, you could follow in the wake of ai large football player, who moves fast, f Generally people get out of his way! How- j|!ver, others may have the same idea and 3 here won ' t be enough football players to go iround. The bell has rung and students fill the hallways on their way to classes. How To Survive Failing a Test This Student seems to have succumbed to boredom and to hove fallen asleep. A - B c wfcA Q Failing a test hurts, with the pain varying in degrees directly proportionate to the exact grade. While a 74 is usually not irreparably disastrous to your grades, a 14 could have a detrimental effect. Of course there are even those tests on which you didn ' t score. That might conceivably bring your grade down from an A to a C or even worse. When you do fail a test, several steps can be taken so that you do not fail the entire six weeks. The first is to run away. That will probably give you an Incomplete instead of an F. But this is not advisable, because running away is a crim- inal offense. Another alternative is to hope that everyone else failed too — only worse than you did. After all, misery does love company. Another possibility is to do extra credit work. All teachers will p)ermit extra credit work to be done. How- ever, only a select few will count it. As a result, this method is often ineffective. You can always pray that the teacher loses all of the tests, or if you are really quick, you can swipe them while she isn ' t looking. As a last alternative, you can hide your report card when it comes out, and pray that your parents don ' t notice. If they do, run away! D. McLean I Organizing Time It may seem that you never have enough time to do all that has to be done or that you would like to do. However, you can find the time, if you learn to use the time you have effectively. First, try to plan each day ' s work and activities by making a list of what needs to be done. Rank the activities according to those which need your immediate attention or are of special importance. Then cross off the items as they are finished. Also decide the time of day when you can concentrate the best and think most clearly. Save this time for the more impor- tant tasks on the list. Try to do daily chores at the same time each day so that they ' ll become less like work and more like a habit. While it ' s important to have your time scheduled, you should make sure you don ' t tie yourself to routine so tightly that you ' re no longer flexible enough to say yes to a last minute phone call. So be sure and leave some time in the day where nothing must be done. As taken from Glamour, September, 1976 Seventeen, August, 1975 If School Bores You Does school tend to put you to sleep? Do you find yourself nodding off in the middle of Moth tests? Whot you need is some enthusiasm! Become a joiner. If you are excited about the activities of a sport or club, some of the enthusiasm is bound to show up in your school work, too. Of course, there are some subjects that will still seem incredibly dull. You can try to change this. First of all, don ' t daydream. Sit in the front of the class, ask questions, and propose projects. Or bring up related and more interesting topics for the class to talk about. Read the newspaper daily and relate the current news to school work. Get involved with a student cause or perhaps serve on the student council. If you try all this and still are bored with school, you could quit. Or better yet, graduate early! At one time card playing was a common sight at SHS. This year the cards disappeared as students began to really make use of their study hall periods. Students either used this time to prepare for clas- ses or as o welcome respite from the many demands of the hectic school day. 88 Randy Pennington and Gary Taylor ploy around in the gymnasium to pass the time of day. David Underwood makes it through the day by playing chess in the library. 23 WAYS To Make It Through The School Day Parents couldn ' t believe their eyes when their kids staggered home battered and torn. Yes, surviving o school day took a lot of imagination. Even minor things became enough to make BHS students smile. Some of these included: 1. Plastering locker doors with pictures of Robert Redford or Farrah Fawcett- Mojors. 2. Trying to top Mr. Peters ' jokes. 3. Surprising unfortunate friends on their birthdays. 4. Hanging out at the traditional senior radiator. 5. Taking a quick cigarette break between classes. 6. Stopping in the library during study hall to read or just relax. 7. Letting off steam in Physical Education. 8. Leaving early when required courses were over. 9. Being dismissed due to inclement weather. 10. Singing (sometimes off key) to the top ten selection playing in their heads. 11. Catching someone else making the same stupid mistake they just made. 12. Seeing someone trip on the carpet, espe- cially if he was trying to impress someone else. 13. Side-tracking teachers from the planned lessons onto totally unrelated topics. 14. Catching a quick forty winks between classes. 15. Daydreaming. 16. Flirting with the cute kid sitting nearby. 17. Resting and Relaxing when teachers de- cided to take a break, too. 18. Stashing a Slurpee in lockers and stealing a sip between classes. 19. Sneaking by the librarians to cut through the library en route to class. 20. Doodling while listening. 21. Gossiping about all the latest news. 22. Accidentally overhearing someone else ' s juicy gossip — but not telling any- one! 23. Stopping by the Guidance office to figure out how to make it through the next day. 89 t STUDY HINTS Occasionally one is called upon to crock o book or two, but since this calling isn ' t always yielded to, some students tend to lack study skills. Then again, even the bookworm has those days when he seems to lack the stuff to get his as- signments done; he just can ' t seem to get it together. Some would like to label these doldrums with a name such as the senior blues, or simply declare themselves illiterate and leave their books to collect dust in their lockers. For those who are interested, or have no other choice, there is salvation. There are a few study hints which might help one struggle through those impossible assignments and while there are no miracle cure-alls, these suggestions may even make every- day assignments a little more bearable: 1. Starting with your study environment, try using a slant- topped desk; it ' s easier to write on. 2. Sit up straight in a straight-backed, armless chair to keep alert. 3. Use a good bright light to prevent eye strain. 4. Try placing your desk so that you can face a window instead of a blank wall while studying. 5. To avoid being overcome by boredom, alternate studying a subject you like (or, at least one you don ' t hate too much) with the ones you don ' t like. 6. Lastly, when faced with a long term project or research paper, set a deadline for yourself; you will get better qual- ity results finishing early than in a last minute rush. What ' s more, it will save you from headoches and nerv- ous tension. Elaine Tuennerman Students take a break from studies and head for lunch. To and From School There is probably not a student in school who has not ridden a noisy overcrowded bus at least once in his school career. So everyone knows how uncomfortable the ride to and from school everyday can be. Students resort to riding school buses if other possible ways to get to school fail. Some students have sympathetic parents who will drive them to school on their way to work. A handful of students live close enough to make it plausible to walk. Then there are the lucky stu- dents who have reached driving age. The student parking lot is filled with the cars of these fortunate students who own their cars or who use a family car. Students who drive to and from school are often accosted by others for a ride home. Those who drive remember the buses and usually take pity by giving them a ride. Asking Good Questions Do you envy those seemingly perfect students who get straight A ' s and always seem to ask in- telligent questions in class? Well, you too can ask the right question. One of the first rules is not to be afraid that your question is dumb or that you will make a mistake and be laughed at. If you truly want to know the answer, it is not a dumb question. Try to imagine what you will say before you actually voice it. If necessary write down a few key words to help you phrase the question. Never start a question with an apology for asking it. Learn to be assertive and feel free to give your opinion if you are asked. If you feel nervous, make your- self relax by breathing deeply. Above all, project your voice. This will all be hard at first if you are not used to asking questions in class, but the more prac- tice you get, the easier it will be to ask an inter- esting and intelligent question in class. As taken from Glamour, August, 1976 and Seventeen, August, 1976 Mrs. Amos talks to students Ginny Savage, Cindy Patton, Randy Pennington, and Karen Mitchell. 90 Have You Got Spring Fever? Spring Fever: An Affliction involving apathy. Early ymptoms include an aversion to shoes and sleeves, nobility to remain stationary for longer than five ninutes, and the desire to be outside whenever ?ossible. Sometime between late March and mid-April ipring arrived. This time of year brought with it a :urious feeling of longing. Called Spring Fever, by Aay the malady affected young and old alike. Signs of Spring Fever were obvious; students ar- ived Monday morning with faces red and freckled, airls laid out in the weekend sun trying to get a tan )efore bikini season while guys turned bronze, omehow never seeming to burn. When attendance was taken, the number of ab- sentees soared. Students seemed to be everywhere )ut in class. Those who resisted the Fever and made t to class begged their teacher to hold class outside. Walking to and from school was no longer a :hore. When it was not raining, those living in close )roximity enjoyed the ever-greening scenery as they traggled in later and later. i As teachers patrolled the halls, they noticed an ibundance of bare feet. Naturally a quick reprimand lollowed and the shoes were replaced temporarily. ' Poets have dwelt upon the effect Spring has on the leart. For most highschoolers, the season brought he feeling of euphoria and spontaneity. It became he time for last minute parties and jaunts in the ountry; romping on flowery hillsides and skiing on ilvery lakes absorbed the interest of highschoolers nore readily than assignments. Nights became iacred for innocent rendezvous or adventures as ;oon as Spring arrived. Cheryl Campbell, like many students, enjoys the student commons. Two students find the library carrels an excellent place to study. Getting Back To Work Jeff Price, Ricky McMahan, and J.D. Dymock con- verse between classes. So the vacation is great. You can lie around all day and watch television if that ' s what you want to do. Then the last day arrives and that familiar feeling of dread starts to grow in the pit of your stomach. School starts again! It ' s time to get back to the Grindstone and work. In order to do this, try to get the right attitude towards going back. Concentrate on what you like about school rather than what you don ' t like. Try to get excited about the good points of school that you enjoy and going won ' t be quite so bad!! SPIRIT!

Rashna Controctor shows her spirit by dressing up for ' 50 ' s week. Pep rallies are where students can really show spirit for their school and team. Student FAVORITES According to a poll taken of Blacksburg High School students, their favorite places to eat in Blacksburg were Pappy ' s, Pizza Hut, McDonald ' s, and Burger King. Students did not live on food alone however. Their favorite places to go on Friday and or Saturday evenings were the movies, Greeks, Flipper McCoy, Squires, and of course parties. ' On Saturday and Sunday af- ternoons students liked to go shopping, play pinball at Flipper McCoy, attend or play a foot- ball game, visit friends, or even the old standby — sleep. When whey were not out on the town, stu- dents liked to watch television and a few of their favorite programs were M A S H, NBC ' s Satur- day Night, Rich Man, Poor Man, Happy Days, Monty Python ' s Flying Circus, and Rhoda. If there was nothing worth watching on TV or they were studying, students liked to listen to music. K.C. and the Sunshine Band, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Rod Stewart, John Denver, Linda Ronstadt, and America were some of their favorite recording artists. 92 How to Know When You Have Finally CRACKED . The pressures of school can tend to really get to a iStudent after a while. To know if they have finally gotten I’O you, take this simple quiz. 1.

The band adds immeasurably to the enthusiasm and spirit of the pep rallies given for the teams. High School, crowd. SOCCER HELPS STUDENT Participating in a sport helps many students endure a school year. Aside from the usual sports of basketball, football, and baseball, Blacksburg High School now has a new team sport ■ — soccer. BHS is the only high school in the area with a soccer team. Here is what the captain of the team has to say. Yes . . . Soccer is finolly receiving more recognition ot iiaeksburg High School. For the post few yeors, soccer hos been struggling to stay in existence, but this year hos brought o few changes. To open up the seoson, nearly forty students gave o whirl at soccer and most stuck with it. From the beginning it looked os if Blacksburg would finally hove a good team. The fii t couple gomes, all against college teams, strenghtened hopes with neor victories. However, improvement was still needed. So with o lot of hard work and practice, the Blacksburg Soccer Club storted pulling in some vic- tories. To end the season properly they won their lost game 6-2. These dedicated players are still struggling ond hope to have a school team in the near future. Tom DePorter 1 977 g Qood Year For: 1.

It is still the girl, usually, who must cunningly attract a date, sit at home without one, or else revel in the feeling that she is in the happy minor- ity. Dating is something special that no one wants to have pass by them; it is an experience in relating and socializing with peers and a chance for a teenager to feel accepted or loved. Girls seem to feel a strong need to go out and enjoy themselves on dates and when they do not have dates, it becomes an ordeal. The only way to cope with not dating is to do something about it. Becoming obsessed with the situation usually results in a nervous breakdown but does not induce anyone to ask a girl out so she must learn to live with her predicament and to even enjoy it. The quickest way to alienate a guy interested in asking a girl out is to rant and rave about not dating or to come on to him continually. High- schoolers are not any different from anyone else in that they like people to be themselves and they tend to shy away from artificial types and put-ons. Learning to enjoy one ' s own company and that of friends makes a person happier and a happy person is more likely to be noticed and asked out. Not dwelling on the situation does not mean that a girl cannot let a guy know she likes him or that she would like to go out with him. If a girl can break through the old standard of Boy ask Girl and ask him out herself, then more power to her. It is the exceptional girl who will take this upon herself though. If she cannot ask him out she can at least show him that she likes him, would be willing to go out, and that if he will not take her out she is still a happy individual. Coping With tRe Courses from AtoZ If you don ' t feel that the education you are getting at school is enough, you can always take a course at nearby Virginia Polytechnic Institute or one of the numerous YWCA courses. They have just about anything you could possibly want. Besides the regular academic courses that Tech offers, there are also such diversified classes as Hatha Yoga, Belly Dancing, Guitar and Banjo lessons, and even Oriental Cooking. Also, for the more craft oriented, there are painting, sculpture, and ceramic classes. It would seem that opportunities exist for whatever interests you may wish to pursue. Problems 1. Seek comfort through friends. Talk with someone about your problems. 2. Set your goals. Know where you are going in life. Decide where you want to be in five years. 3. Maintain a good diet. If you ' re in good health you ' ll cope better. 4. Relax and try not to worry if at all possible. As taken from the U.S. Army Source Book, 1977 , . .

Long hair used to be in for boys as well as girls. But this year saw a return to the indi- vidual preference in hair styles. Some had short’ hair and some girls still kept those long tresses but the aver- age girl would fa!! some- where in between. School dress was casual: shirts or sweaters were most often seen in the halls of BHS. The tailored look was big in the fashion scene but almost every girl went casual once in o while. Are you Average? Casual indiffer- ence described the masculine look in the halls of BHS. As the guys strolled to class they wore T-shirts and flannel shirts as well as the favorite Rugby shirt’s. When inside temperatures rose sleeves were rolled back — a feature that added to the casual effect. Jeans were undoubtedly the favorite pants choice among BHS males. They weren ' t al- ways blue; corduroys and varied colors moved in ' to the men ' s fashion scene at Blacksburg High. Tennis shoes covered most guys ' feet although many specialized forms were seen. Trock shoes, basketball hi-top: and real tennis shoes varied th original version of sneakers. Short hair re- turned to the male head in ' 76- ' 77. The average guy had hair that was easy to man- age as well as easy on the eye. Some refused to let their locks be shorn but most followed the brushed back trend. 95 LEAP YEAR MFIS PASSED BUT TBE SADIE TRADITIOIi Leap year is famous for being the year in which women ' s liberation is taken up by even the most staunch anti-feminists as they march right up to their favorite male chauvanist and ask him to do any- thing from getting a malt to getting mar- ried. Blacksburg High ' s Sadie Hawkins dance, based on the same practice, was originally scheduled to occur during the leap year of 1976 but because of the unprecendented and somewhat unex- pected weather and school attendance, the Sadie was postponed and possibly cancelled. After the weather abated and an attendance regularity was again es- tablished, the Sadie Hawkins dance was rescheduled and highschoolers, looking like they came straight from the moon- shine still, gathered. On March 26, 1977, couples enjoyed a dance where being best-dressed meant looking the most like a hillbilly and where overalls were the height of fashion. Fastfriends reved up heartbeats and chased away what revenuers might have thought of converging on the scene. Of all the bed- raggled looking couples, Joanne Bryant and Jay Bell, were acknowledged as the best dressed Diasy Mae and Li ' I Abner. ««5� av Couples enjoy dancing to the hustling hillbilly tunes of Fastfriends.

Seniors re- ceived the DAR award, Betty Crocker, PSAT NMSQT awards, and other de- partmental awards at the end of the year. However, Seniors were not the only ones to be so honored. Throughout the year some choir members were chosen for All-Regional Choir as were band members for All-Regional Band. Dis- tributive Education students also com- peted for district awards, as did students in the one-act play. Art students com- peted for awards in AAUW Art Show in Roanoke and also the annual show at University Mall. Also there were re- gional DECA and VICA awards which students competed for and students in- terested in speaking competed for Forensics awards. Thus students at Blacksburg High School vied for honors in many areas.

This summer two BHS students, Sara Wiggert and Pamela Furey were chosen to attend the Governor ' s school for the gifted at Mary Baldwin college this summer. BHS sent twenty-two students to All-Regional Band and nine students to All-Regional choir as well as students to district and regional Forensics, Distributive Education and, DECA competitions, proving that BHS students are very talented and versatile. In 1976, Skip Lewis went to All- State chorus as a junior at BHS. 99 Jean Moore, Billy Williams, Rashna Contractor, and Karen Michelsen in Goodbye to the Clown. flS5EmBLIE5; eURe Barbie Hall and Cliff Bryant converse in a scene from Goodbye to the Clown. LiberaMy spread throughout the school year were numerous assemblies that added excitement to the usually normal school days. Many assemblies were presented by the students them- selves. The band and the choirs of the school, as they have each year, provided musical entertainment and for those who did not like music there were plays. Among those presented this year were the Theatre Arts Association ' s Good- bye to the Clown and The Mouse that Roared by the junior class. Also given by the students were the Christmas skits and the Key Club showed a special movie, Abbot and Costello Meet the Frankenstein Monster. Once again the New Virginians visited Blacksburg High School and gave a typ- ically outstanding performance. Pep rallies were another type of as- sembly that many students enjoyed. They got the team and students up for the gomes. Thus all students were involved in some capacity at assemblies. Either as participant or spectator they enjoyed the wide variety of assembly programs of- fered. 100 The New Virginians belt out another great song for their student audience.

The District season began on April 15 with the Indians demolishing George Wythe 103-33. They continued on to win four of their next five meets, losing only Radford, the eventual District champions, by the close score of 76-60. In the District meet, Blacksburg finished third as Floyd, another District competitor, narrowly edged by the Indians. The Region IV meet resulted in the same team finishes, with the New River District sweeping the first three places. Finally, Blacksburg team members, who qualified by placing in the Regional meet, traveled to Madison College in Harrisonburg, where the meet was held in the rain, much to the athletes ' discomfort. Scott Worner placed second in the state in the 440 with a new school record of 50.0 seconds. David Preiaz also set a school record in the Region IV meet with a long jump of 2r6y2 . For the ' 76- ' 77 season, the outdoor track team is blessed with the return of a strong group of talented underclassmen. The Indians are again expected to receive a good deal of competition from within the district, but with the returning team and influx of new members the Indians may be able to repeat last year ' s performance or even better it. Aaron Skinner shows his far-reaching form in the long jump. 108 kott Worner edges out a Radford run- ler in the District meet to win the mile elay for Blacksburg. i There are several aspects of outdoor track with which many people in the school are ;infamiliar. The technical details of running track are often overlooked by the spectators, put they are extremely important to the athletes themselves. Some athletes gave details jibout track and field technique. The different lanes which are used by runners in such aces as the 440 hold importance for many runners. Although everyone runs the same listance, I like being in the middle lane because it gives me a view of the rest of the field. — Scott Worner. The foods an athlete eats in the days and hours preceding a race can be a big nfluence on his performance. I find that when I eat a big meal too soon before a race, I eel sluggish and can ' t move. — Chris EpIey Another misconception about track is that distance running on the track is the same ps cross country. According to members of the distance team, the two are drastically lifferent. Running on the track can be monotonous and boring. It also requires a very !ven pace, while cross country is interesting and challenging and requires the ability to i hange paces often. 1 109 GIRLS SET FAST RACE Several girls responded to the question, What did you like most about being on the girls ' track team? I liked the unity we had. Even though everyone was competing individually, we cared and worked as a team which made every single member valuable. — Anne Giles . . .

The 1975-76 BHS Girls ' Track team started its successful sea- son in high gear but was unable to maintain the momentum. The girls again fared quite well in district competition as they won the district meet. However, the team was not as successful in the regional meet. The girls lost the meet because they were disqual- ified from a relay at the end of the meet. There were several outstanding performances by individuals on the team. Connie Snell and Sarah Marshall led the team in sprinting. Sue Cook ran the middle distance events and Sarah Marshall ran the field events. The girls anticipate another good year in the 1976-77 season since many experienced runners plan to return. The team was led by the enthusiastic coaching of Mrs. Hallihan and Mrs. Walker. 1)0 GOLFERS EXHIBIT PROWESS Front: Scott Dyer, John Moody, Stuart Baker.

The team showed its strength by sending four members to the regionals at Marion. These golfers were: Tom Hutcheson, Tim Devens, Scott Dyer, and John Moody. This team placed third at the regional match. Hutcheson and Devens, holding the top two positions on the team, had led the team through successful district competition in order to reach the regional tournament. The ranking of the other team members differed slightly due to their performances and scores at various games. Having lost only one team member, senior Scott Dyer, the golfers prepared for an even better season in the Spring of 1977.

BLACKSBURG IMPROVES STATE STANDING The 1976 Blacksburg baseball team continued the tra- dition set last year by reaching the State playoffs. The Indians, with the help of their outstanding hitting and pitching, arrived at the playoffs with an excellent record of thirteen wins and three losses. Bruce Hamlin, a junior, had the highest season batting average with a formidable .418. Sophomore Bill Wohiford was a close second in this race for most consistent batter. in the pitching department, two seniors, Randy Croy and Stanley Milkshake Smith, had the most success. This combination was responsible for winning fourteen of the team ' s fifteen wins through the course of the season. In addition, Randy Croy had four home runs which made him season leader for the team. Along with Floyd, Blacksburg became a New River District representative in the Region IV playoffs held in Wytheville. In the first game, Blacksburg squeaked by Virginia High School in a game which went into extra innings before Blacksburg came from behind to win 7-6. Ryne Kipps receives congratulations from teammates Dean Kipps, Brian Camper, and Jerry Farrow after hitting a home run in the Christiansburg game. 113 ' ' jf - ' ' 4W‘ � S NO TIME TO”HAM IT UP Ryne Kipps scores the first Blacksburg run against stiff opposition Within the basebal! team there exists, as in every team sport, an interdependence between team mem- bers. Although while in the field players seem to act upon their own intuition rather than that of fellow players, these ' intuitions ' have been carefully instilled by coaching and practice. There is also a strong bond between the pitcher and the catcher. The catcher must size up the situation in accordance with the performance of the pitcher. He must also judge the pitches which seem to be working best for the pitcher against the opposing team. George Williams, catcher for the Indians, said that individual effort is vital, but a player should never ' ham it up ' during the game. That should be limited to pregame warmups. Mike McCoy, third baseman, said, In playing out on the field in a game a player should not start to ' ham it up ' because it looks bad for the team and for the player.

The Indians won five of nine matches, and posted three shutouts, whereas previously Blacksburg had not had any. Jeff Armistead was the cap- tain of the team. He and his brother, Pend, were the sen- iors on the team and the only members not returning. George Wills, a junior, was the only team member to go through the season without losing a match. Mr. Peters was the team sponsor, and Rodney Miller, a former BHS student, did much to assist in the actual coach- ing of the team. The success of this year, along with the fact that most of the team is returning, gives the Indians high hopes for an even better year in 1977. David Mitchell prepares to return a serve.

The Girls ' Tennis Team had a successful season although the girls had lost four of last year ' s top players to graduation. The team ended the season with a 4-2 record. Having lost two of these players to graduation most of the top players made plans to return to the courts for an even better 1976-77 season. Some of the returning players include Lisa McDaniels, Katie Heiskell, Shelly Bowker and Meredith Schnitzer, the team ' s top four players. Several of the girls also planned to improve their games by entering local tennis tournaments. Katie Heiskell shows deep concentration as she returns a short approach shot. 117 JVs DROP TWO, PREPARE Though unable to achieve another undefeated season, the J.V. football team nevertheless turned in a re- spectable 6-2 record. The team showed a great deal of improvement throughout the season and, according to head coach Bob Trear, the turning point for the team emotionally was the Radford game. Vic- tory over arch- rival Radford served as an inspiration to the team members. The offense held many bright spots for the Indian team. Mike Coleman, Troy Dunnam, and Darren Steiss carried most of the load in running the ball. Clearing the way for them were line- men Brian Camper, Greg Po- lan, Marty Gibson, and Robert Van de Vuurst, who did an excellent job in breaking through the left side of the line. The J.V. football team was given added hope for the strength of next year ' s team with the addition of an upcom- ing core of undefeated eighth graders.

For as long os any student now attending Blacksburg High School has been here, Radford has been the major New River District power in football. However, this year ' s Blacksburg team was successful in defeating Radford as a result of a 7-0 win in the first game of the season. A near-capacity crowd was on hand at Blacksburg as the home team scored on its first possession. This proved to be the extent of the scoring, and started a string of an unprecedented seven straight shutouts. This year ' s team had many standouts, and quite a few of these were members of the senior class. Most of these players had been teammates for the past five years in high school, and this year they outdid themselves. Sidney Snell led the team in all categories of rushing and kick returning while Bruce Hamlin and Scott King were outstanding in the pass and receiving departments, respectively. Quarterback Richard Foy was instrumental in the team ' s success with his passing and rushing. Defensively, J.D. Dymock, Mike McCoy, and Louis Bates caused opponents to think twice before passing into their areas of coverage. Both the defensive and offensive lines had superlative seniors playing. Jeff Price, Scott Noonkester, Phil Wesel, and Gary Raines helped stop many opposing drives, while the offensive line boasted such talent as Bob Hill, George Williams, Bill Stickney, Scott King, and Scott Worner, all of whom led the way for Blacksburg ' s potent offense. 120 Craig Doc Johnson, who was added to the Blacksburg squad this season as trainer, watches the team at the playoff. Jeff Price inspires fear in opposing player, as George Wythe ' s Dwayne Snavely indicates. Quarterback Richard Foy, who led the offense with both his passing and running. Blacksburg ' s Sidney Snell Juniors were also a big factor in making this defensive team one of the best in the state. Rick Frederick, a newcomer who proved himself from the start, and John Skelly made many great tackles and assists. Linebackers Jimmy Miller, Brian Saari, and Mark Dye backed them up superbly. Enough cannot be said about this fine unit which did not give up a point until the eighth game of the season. They continued to contain Blacksburg ' s opponents and held Martinsville, the eventual state runner-up, to a season low six points in the state playoff game. Through the course of the season, they gove up a mere 48 points. Of course, on a team which finishes fourth in the state, there must be a fine offense to complement the defense. Sidney Snell, with his incredible rushing performances, led the offense and was an important factor in the team ' s success. He rushed for over 1 ,400 yards this season alone and led all area rushers as well as being one of the state ' s top five performers. 121 INDIANS 60 BI6 TIME Mike McCoy intercepts a pass intended for Martinsville ' s Doug Low. Blacksburg continued to advance further into becoming one of the State ' s top four teams by virtue of its win over Graham. The game was played in Va. Tech ' s Lane Stadium, marking the first time a high school game had ever been played there. On a day which seemed like September rather than November, the Indians played host to the Martinsville Bulldogs, a team that had won the State championship the preceding year. The game quickly developed into a defensive struggle, with Blacksburg drawing first blood on a 36-yard field goal by Scott King. Martinsville then countered with a 27-yard scoring pass to end, Keith Burgess. Surprisingly, this was all the scoring there was to be that day as Blacksburg watched their State championship hopes fade, losing 6-3. Although they will be losing a great deal of talent and experience to graduation, the Indians nevertheless have a strong probability of finishing high in the district with an essentially strong group returning, and, as Coach Crist commented We ' ll do better than most people think we will. The Lane Stadium scoreboard welcomes fans from both teams to the State playoff.

Coach Crist receives advice from the press box as Phillip Hale and George Wil- liams watch with concern. The final obstacle to the post-season hopes of the Blacksburg Indians was the ninth game of the season, a home matchup with another District power, Galax. The Tribe defense held off a late Galax rally which could have resulted in a one-point win for Galax, had it succeeded. But an interception by linebacker Brian Saari of a hurried Jeff Lindsay pass ended any hopes the visitors had of an upset. The win over Galax virtually assured Blacksburg of a spot in the post-season Region IV playoffs against Southwest District champion Graham High. The snow-delayed game was played in Bluefield, W. Va. On a remarkably warm night, the Blacksburg fans did not have to wait long for a score as Richard Foy connected with Bruce Hamlin on an 85-yard scoring pass in Blacksburg ' s first offensive possession of the game. 123 SEASON ENDS.

Toy Dugger JVs SUPPORT TEAMS The JV Cheerleading squad, along with the JV teams they supported, prepared to become representatives of varsity athletes at BHS in the years to come. Toy Dugger and Rita Johnston, the two freshmen on the team, learned the workings of high school cheerleading while the other five sophomores on the squad readied themselves for spring tryouts, in which they are given a chance to con- tinue their cheerleading careers as members of the varsity team. Although they are losing five girls from JV eligibility, the squad looks forward to receiving a new core of girls in the 1977-78 school year. Rita Johnston Linda Webb Cindy Fuller Karen McNitt Tommy Grimes Commie Dugger 125 CHEERLEADERS ADD FLAIR Cheerleaders at BHS had an important influence on the entire student body. Their activities, such as making locker tags and rallying student support and spirit during Homecoming Week, helped to create an atmosphere of awareness and pride in the ongoing sports activities at Blacksburg. In order to be able to perform the many services they were involved in, cheerleaders had to exemplify qualities of patience, creativity, and willingness to work on decorations and to practice cheers. An outgoing personality also helped to make the games especially exciting for the crowd and players alike. The cheerleaders sacrificed their time and energy to fulfill their many duties. Nevertheless they derived many benefits from it as well, such as a sense of satisfaction when students really showed spirit at a pep rally. The school needs these cheerleaders to provide the proper atmosphere at the sporting events at Blacksburg High School, and although they will lose five seniors to graduation, this close-knit group will continue to make the sports teams at Blacksburg successful.

The cross country team once again assumed the number one position among area teams this year under the excellent coaching of Todd Scully, a U.S. Olympic race-walker who was secured by the team early in the season. Under his leadership, the team regained the District title by easily defeating Radford. The team went on to clinch an unexpected Regional championship by beating Morion. The team hod many individual standouts in this sport which is so dependent on team effort. Among these were three newcomers to the team; Jay Lambe, Gary Taylor, and Joe Savage. All of these runners were consistently at or near the top throughout the season. Jay Lambe finishes second in the Region fV meet. Runners from both the New River and Southwest Districts start into the three mile championship race. 128 1976 Cross Country team: Front: Carl Schwertz, Joe Savage, Gary Taylor, Terry Burford, Gary Lytton, Clark Strickland, Jim Skutt. ioek: Eric Wolf, Ephry Kaplon, Ken Ritchey, Chris Epiey, Coach Doc Johnson, Joy Lambe, George Swift, Nina Houska, Coach Todd Scully. Finding a coach had been a struggle for the team in the past two years, due to the fact that the team starts its season midway through the summer when new coaches have not yet been named. This year, though, the team was lucky in getting Craig Doc Johnson to be their official cross country coach. Although duties as trainer for the football team took up much of his time, he nevertheless did much to help the team succeed, as well as contributing his medical knowledge to the team. The acquisition of Todd Scully as assistant coach made the team feel like they could do almost anything. Here they had a man who offered to the squad the invaluable experience of being a member of the Olympic team as well as having been a coach at Liberty High School in Bedford, Va. These two factors plus the fact that his personality was very good for the team ' s morale, insured the production of a very strong team at Blacksburg. The team was believed by many outside the school to have a weaker than usual team, but the work of Todd Scully helped the school field a team which ended up surprising many of these people. The Indians went into the State meet confident of placing at least second, and with hopes of possibly dethroning Handley High School as the state champions. However, it was not to be as the Indians finished third in the meet, and then dropped to fourth on a technical disqualification. The team has a group of six seniors leaving the team who have been running together for five years. They include co-captains Gary Lytton and Terry Burford, and Jim Skutt, Ken Ritchey, George Swift, and Chris Epiey. But there is an extremely strong group of rising juniors and seniors that should give the Indians a highly competitive team next year.

The snow and the temperature were both falling while in the Abingdon gym the shots refused to drop for the Blacksburg Girls ' Basketball team. So the night went as the girls played Radford in the finals of the Region IV tournament. This game marked the fifth meeting of Radford and Blacksburg for the year, and after a grueling game, Radford emerged the winner. The girls established a real rivalry with Radford as the Bobcats accounted for all of Blacksburg ' s losses this year. The Blackburg team finished the season with an outstanding 1 8-4 record, claiming the District and Regional runner-up trophies. The girls prided themselves on their invulnerable defense and effective full court press along with a potent offense that balanced their attack. The Indians lost a total of eighteen years of experience with the loss of five seniors — Matye Drew, Anne Giles, Katie Heiskell, Lisa McDaniels, and Adrienne Turner. Still the team can boast of returning starters Shelley Bowker and Sherry Heath. Juniors, Jackie Fore and Lorraine Sherman, also had good playing experience. As area competition stiffens, the team looks forward to an even more successful season next year.

The team was undefeated in sixteen games of competition, declaring it District champion for the second c on- secutive year. The team ' s ability to break open a game in the opening minutes allowed all of the players to get good playing experience. The team ' s trademarks were good passing and defense led by starters Bronie Reynolds, Lynne Collins, Kay Robinson, Theresa Price, and Marlena Ac- kerman.

For the first time since they won the state championship in 1972, the indoor track team was once again considered as being among the favorites for the top spot. However, the extreme fuel shortage experienced by the entire state forced the cancellation of both the region IV and state AA meets. Early in the season the team participated in several important meets. The Cormack Invitational, an annual affair attracting George Swift many excellent teams from the mid-Atlantic area, was held on January 15. Blacksburg emerged as the top finisher in AA competition at this meet, fol- i lowed closely by Westminister High, a top Maryland school. The day after the BHS basketball team defeated William Flem- ing, the track team came very close to defating them as well, losing by two points. Scott Worner pulled out a mile relay victory for the Indians with a miraculous come-from-behind anchoring leg. During this run, though, he was injured, dimming the teom ' s hopes for a state championship. Blacksburg had several highlights in the short season even jwith the cancellation of important post-season competition. On jFeburary 5, some members of the team went to Annapolis, I Maryland, for a large invitational held at the Naval Academy, where a national high school record was set in the 600. On Feb- ruary 19, many of these same athletes went to Knoxville, for another meet. Blacksburg placed members in several events, in- cluding the mile and two-mile.

With nearly everyone in the district, if not the state, pre- dicting an easy win for the Indians in their home district, the team nevertheless had trouble getting off to the overwhelm- ing start expected of them. The fact that only thirteen days elapsed from the end of Blacksburg ' s excellent football sea- son and the beginning of basketball season, together with a certain lack of unity on the court, helped contribute more challenging games than were expected. The Indians nar- rowly averted an opening game loss to surprisingly powerful Carroll County, which became the most improved district team, on a last second half-court shot by Sid Snell. Radford handed Blacksburg its first loss of the season with a frenzied 60-59 win in Radford. From this point on, however, Blacksburg ' s talented team gelled and within several weeks had retaken the New River lead, this time for good. One of the great upsets of the young season occured when Roanoke ' s top AAA roundball power, William Flemin g, came to town. Coming into the game with an unblemished record and rated No. 1 in Timesland, the Colonels were ' ■primed for defeat, which came in the form of a 61-58 score. Billed as the revenge match of the season, the second Radford game was held in a highly charged Blacksburg gym. A confident Blacksburg crowd greeted the challengers with a [display of spirit and emotion such as hadn ' t been seen all season. But Radford played a good tactical game and de- 1 feated the Indians, 48-47. Blacksburg bounced back from this second setback and once again defeated William Fleming in Salem to finally cap- j ture the top spot in Timesland. Going into the District tournament, Blacksburg had a sea- I son record of 18 wins and 2 losses, both of which were suf- I fered at the hands of Radford. Holding an automatic ticket i to the Region IV tournament, the team concentrated on de- fending its title. Four players seem as one as Scott King, Tim Devens, and J.D. Dymock go up against William Helms of Floyd. 135 Scott King in the tradition of victory, cuts down the basketball net after winning the district tournament. Scott King, Steve Fuller, and Sidney Snell discuss plays for the game against Carroll County. Well, maybe the team did sweat a little but the scores of both the semi-final and final games showed that none of the other district basketball teams could compare with the Blacksburg Indians. In the semi-final game against Galax the scores were close during the early part of the game; not until the fourth quarter did a runaway victory seem apparent. The final score was Blacksburg 69, Galax 56. On the following night Blacksburg continued its win- ning trend over Carroll County. With only a one point lead at the end of the first quarter, things looked pre- carious. As usual though, the Indians pulled out ahead by a large margin in the second half to cap their district season with a 77-59 win. Snell, Carr, Fuller, □evens and King hold the Indians ' first place district trophy.

JV’s BATTLE FOR 2nd PLACE They may be the not quite ready for prime time players of interscholastic athletics, but do not think for a minute that the Blacksburg Jayvees are not every bit as competitive as their older counterparts on the varsity team. This wos proved by their determination throughout the season. The fact that there is no longer a tourna- ment at the end of the season makes every game impor- tant. This was especially true this year because only losses to Narrows and Radford made the difference between a second place finish and a tie for first place with the always competitive Radford squad. The backbone of this season ' s team consisted of Page Moir and Scott Mullen, both new to the Blacksburg scene, as well as veterans Mark Dymock, Randy Kates, and James Torgersen. Although these individuals stood out, they had strong support ' from every member of the team. So when next season rolls around and some players have switched to prime time billing, the jayvees promise to provide on equal amount of en- thusiasm and excitement.

The seven athletes who were the Blacksburg representatives to the Region IV Tournannent held in Marion. The Blacksburg W restling Team, far different from those seen on late Saturday night television, battled strong competition and a degree of inexperience to finish the season with a somewhat deceiving season record of 2 wins, 10 losses, and 1 tie. The Blacksburg team lost only one senior to graduation, and as a result this year ' s team remained strong, as it was composed of mostly juniors, including Rick Frederick, John Skelly, Greg Killough, David Rotenizer, and Irwin Cragett. Also, there were many freshmen who gained much knowledge of this very strenuous and difficult sport. In tournament competition, the Indians did much better than they expected. They finished a strong fourth place, sending seven wrestlers on to regional competition. They were: R. Frederick, D. Rockey, M. Gibson, B. Hill, J. Skelly, D. Martin, and D. Miller. Of these seven, five went on to place in Region IV action where Don Martin won his weight class. 139 GYMNASTS WIN REGIONALSi Sugar and spice and everything nice is what gymnastics appear to be at a meet. Being in a most graceful sport, gym- nasts are sometimes thought of as tiny fragile dolls. But by looking in on a practice session of the Blacksburg girls ' gymnastics team, this theory is shattered quickly. One would see that a lot more is involved in gymnastics than marching in before a meet and competing with other schools. There is an enormous amount of hard work, perser- verance, and self-sacrifice that goes into the making of top-notch gymnasts like Blacksburg ' s. The team was fortunate enough to have a host of girls with several years of experi- ence. This was probably a key factor in their decisive victories over Christiansburg and Carroll County in both District and Region- als competition. The team captured these two championships and sent two outstand- ing girls, Mary Gaines and Barbara Domer- muth, to the State meet. Sandie Bolleter displays the grace and ease that is so clearly associated with gymnastics.

On December 3, fourteen eager members of the Art Club departed for Washington, D.C. Arriving late in the evening, they turned in for a good night ' s sleep. Early the next morning, these artists could be seen in the halls of the Smithsonian, view- ing the famous artifacts found in the tomb of King Tut. After taking a quick break for lunch in the cafeteria, many re- turned to this exhibit while others toured other parts of the museum. The weary but excited group re- turned to Blacksburg late Saturday night. The Art Club planned to visit Richmond in the spring for a similar expedition. Also, a picnic for all members was planned to finish the year ' s calendar.

Members of Girls ' Monogram Club have supported girls ' ath- ; letics in the past few years as has been shown by their varsity . letters, a requirement for club membership. Many girls re- ' ceived letters by playing varsity basketball, while others earned j theirs in sports such as track, tennis, and gymnastics. A few i varsity cheerleaders were given letters for so actively arousing I school spirit. One group of girls received letters for singing in the concert choir. This year the girls helped Voluntary Action to distribute food baskets for Christmas. This group sponsored | girls ' sports by publishing schedules for girls ' track and tennis. ‘ In February, it organized a Pilo-Polo game, which is a form of hockey. ' 154 DE3AlE 3 PEAC OUC Debate Club was an academically oriented club of Blacksburg High School. The Debate Club offered stu- dents the opportunity to engage in re- search and to develop skills in public speaking. It also gave the members experience in interpretating data. This organization helped students gain in- sight into controversial topics of present-day importance.

Forensics Club was made up of all students interested in learning more about creative writing and public speaking. On January 12 and 13, a schoolwide meet was held in which members competed in oratory, and extemporaneous speaking. Workshops were ar- ranged twice a week to pre- pare the members for this meet. Members of the Foren- sics Club were also responsi- ble for appropriate readings in the Spring Festival. 155 Pan American Club was one of the largest and most active clubs in Blacksburg High. The club ' s first activ- ity in the 1976-77 year was a bake sale. Then during the Christmas sea- son, pinatas were made and deco- rated. A Christmas party was given for all the members where a pinata was broken in the traditional way. The Sadie Hawkins Dance was planned to break the monotony of the late winter months. In February, a breakfast with Mexican dishes was scheduled for Pan Am members. Jeff Price, Scott Muilin, Erin Turner, and Gar Pristou make pinatas for the Christmas party.

Billy Acuff, Patty Shaver, Pat Cummins, and Kotti Ifju point Latin Murals. Preparations for the annual Latin banquet began weeks before this exciting event. Large murals were painted to create a Roman atmosphere, and all partici- pants were required to don the traditional Roman toga before entering into the festivities. Dishes such as fruits, , and other forms of Roman food were sampled by these Romans. During the Christmas season, a Saturnalia party was given and gifts symbolizing those a Roman could have used, were exchanged. In , all the foreign language clubs sponsored Interna- Week at Blacksburg High. Latin Club restaged the r of Caesar and held a funeral procession through the halls.

The French Club ' s goal this year was to become the most ac- tive club in Blacksburg High School. Indeed, it was a close race. The club ' s activities were started by a French formal dinner held at Blacksburg ' s newest addition of French cuisine, The Possibili- ty. This dinner was heavily attended by students wishing to ex- perience the gourmet delicacies which the restaurant advertised. In December members met for caroling and their traditional Christmas party. The year concluded with the First Annual French awards banquet where honors were given to outstanding members.

The raising of the flag, each morning and on the evenings of games, was just one of the services the Key Club performed for our school. Another was the printing and distribu- tion of programs for all basketball games and Regional football games. Key Club also served the Blacksburg com- munity. During the holidays, a coffee stop was conducted on the 460 by-pass for weary travelers. Canned food was collected for needy families and the Key Club joined the Kiwanis Club to deliver these goods during the Christmas season. Funds were contributed by the Key Club to aid children with learning dis- abilities. Financial assistance was also pro- vided for children to attend Camp Easter Seal.

These standards have remained as the qualifications for the Blacksburg chapter as long as it has existed in Blacksburg High School. Raising money for Easter Sea! was the main project undertaken by the Blacksburg chapter. A teacher-student program was given and admission was charged. Stationary was also sold to raise money for this worthy cause. Members thought that more emphasis should have been placed on the arts. They wanted to give an award to a student in each grade with outstanding character. Every six weeks, the NHS had quite a job compiling the honor rolls. To be on the honor roll, students must have an 3.5 average. A spring picnic was planned for members of the National Honor Society. It was held at the home of Jim Gaines, a society member. 160 FRONT: Rosonno Elliot (president).

Members took an active part in related vo- cational areas, and learned the skills that go along with the trade of their choice. VICA was divided into many individual groups, such as electronics, carpentry, drafting, masonry, and auto mechanics. This orga- nization competed in regional, state, and national contests based on the services they perform. As a whole, these groups formed a basic unit from which vocational students can branch out into individual fields.

The primary aim of the D.E. Club was to give participating students an opportunity to de- velop leadership ability and pre- pare for future careers in busi- ness. Job training provided experi- ence and learning in the principles and procedures of the chosen business. D.E. students learned to find fulfillment in their work, to develop pride in their achieve- ments, and to develop integrity and understanding in their rela- tionships. The 1976-77 D.E. Club, spon- sored by Mr. Warren B. Eakin, had a membership of twenty-five. The D.E. members attended the Fall Rally at Claytor Lake State Park this fall and members planned var- ious field trips for the remainder of the year. An Emplorer-Employee Banquet was being planned. The Club also sponsored fund-raising projects including candy, card, and candle sales. Sissy Broom.

The FBLA strived to develop competent, aggressive business leaders, to create more interest in the understanding of American business enterprise, and to assist students in the establishment of occupational goals. Membership in this organization also helped to ease the transition from school to work. In the fall club members attended a regional workshop held at Virginia Tech. Favors were taken to Heritage Hall for Thanksgiving and in December a Christmas party was given for underprivileged children. This club led the school in a fund-raising drive for the March of Dimes. A Blacksburg High School beauty pageant was held in March. Also during March a Spring Regional Conference was conducted at VPI SU.

Later in November, the Cosmetology students went on a field trip to Roanoke to a supply house. On December 14, the club had a mother-daughter banquet and for Christmas, fruit baskets were distributed at Heritage Hall. December also marked the beginning of a project that was to be repeated throughout the remainder of the year; monthly, club members went to Heritage Hall to give patients manicures.

Hess. Accom- panying this talk was a film strip about the con- vention. A tour for club members of the wind tun- nel at Virginia Polytechnic Institute was planned for December. In January, a visiting veterinarian discussed the fields of science and medicine within veterinary careers, explaining the opportunities that exist in these areas. The Solar Generation, an award winning documentary film, describing the art of harnessing solar energy, was shown in February. Also in February, the club had a special treat. David Kingma, a member of the student body who had attained his amateur ham radio license, brought his radio equipment to school. During the meeting, the club contacted a satellite which happened to be nearing our area at that particular time. Since the message, which con- sisted of the temperature, atmospheric pressure, and other statistics of the area was in morse code, David translated it for the other students. The group was able to communicate with anyone within 5000 miles. 172 u Dugger, Mott Cragle, Mike Bame. Hie lHE LiGi-e Without the Stage Crew, theatrical productions at BHS would be virtually impossible. To assure perfection in all aspects from lighting to audio effects these students donated several afternoons before each production to work with the directors and cast members. One crew member stated the amount of equipment and operational quality had been improved 100% this year. Between assemblies and other activities necessitating the crew ' s assis- tance, they found time to sponsor a sock hop in the fall. In January members struck up an old familiar tune when they started the restoration of an old juke box. 173 Front: Korina Ruiz (treasurer), Scott Womer (president), Dovid Strother (vice-president), Debbie Sheior Chris Lomoureux.

Working with teachers and administrators the student council strived to set policies that would result in a better and smoother running school. Student council was also active in other areas of student life. A Post Office was in operation during the week prior to Christmas vacation and also during the week of Valentine ' s Day.

This organization was open to all students, not just those enrolled in one of the phases of the music pro- gram. Sponsoring the variety show was an important part of the clubs activities for the year. Entertaining the patients at Heritage Hall for Christmas was another project undertaken by this group.

They were taught the basics of singing, as well as more advanced materiql than they were accustomed to. They began practicing music for the Christ- mas concert as early as October. However the long weeks of constant work paid off, as the choir gave an excellent performance for stu- dents and pa- rents on the night of December 16.

A concert was also given at the Methodist church during the Christmas holidays. In spring, this organization took part in a spring concert at BHS. Many members of Concert Choir at- tended a workshop at Radford High School held by the State Music Supervision. Giving the school on air of renaissance, the Madrigals presented many concerts throughout the year.

This festival was attended by bands from the four surrounding states. During the day each band presented a field show which incorporated its marching style, flag corps, and majorettes. The Chilhowie Festival was only one of the many competitions the band participated in this year. This same group was also seen around town marching in various parades, such as the Tech Homecoming Parade and the United Fund Parade held in the fall. The Christmas parade and the Dogwood Parade presented in winter and spring respectively were also attended by the marching band. These parades were only a small part of the band ' s yearly schedule. Another activity was providing the half time shows for the football games. Many long hours of hard work during fourth period class and after school paid off and resulted in a Band, band, have you heard? show that proved worthy of ail their practicing. 181 COnCE C SARD IRVIlED Flag corps; Kristen Soacke, Koren Long, Koty Mason, Janice Ward, Kim Long, Ashlie Troutman, Kathy Lynne Barranco, Tracy Roberts. Stage band, another branch of the band program at BHS, was made up of top band instrumentalists from each musical ! section. They participated in many concerts for BHS, as well as other schools in the area during the school year. In March this group attended the NAJE Festival at Virginia I Polytechnic institute. All the stage bands from one district got together on May 14 for the District VI Stage band festival. Each band presented three jazz pieces and was judged on its performance. In April, the stage band went to Madison College for the Tri-State Jazz Band festival. This festival was invita- tional, and required high ratings from several previous years to attend. Concert Band, consisting of many of the same members as the marching band, presented its music in concerts for the community. These concerts, held at the Blacksburg High School in fall, winter, and spring brought families and friends of band members to the school. Twenty-two members of the Warrior Band were chosen to be in All Regional Band, which consisted of a concert branch and a symphonic branch. j On March 4, concert band went to the State Concert Band Festival.

With deadlines to meet every month, the staff had enormous amounts of work to do, such as writing articles, doing layouts, and setting headlines. Just before deadlines, workers stayed up late putting the finishing touches on their layouts. It sometimes seemed they would never finish, but they made it every time! Tattle Tale being a self-sufficient organization, took care of all of its business itself. All of the articles, columns, and layouts were done by the staff. Jay Lambe takes a break between deadlines.

On March 10, the members of the Row Wow staff breathed a sigh of relief; all 220 pages of the yearbook were finally submitted to the publishers. Through long, all night deadline sessions the staffers had labored over neglected layouts. As far as procrastination went, the members of the Pow Wow staff became masters of the fine art of putting off until tomorrow what could be done today. Somehow, when that tomorrow rolled around there was a ballgame to attend, a party to host, or even, in desperation, homework to be done. Eventually the pages were done, more often than not in the early hours of the morning. Big Mac Attacks, lost copy, total chaos, and laughing attacks distracted the Pow Wow crew from its ultimate goal — a book that would please the student body as well as critics from the Virginia High School League. As the members worked on their sections, they tried to combine an overall theme with their own ideas on individuality. The memories of the 1976-77 school year were captured within the pages of this book as the staff strived to picture the school and all of its aspects in a unique style that would itself be remembered for years to come.

However, after it pulled together ex- pected team members these soccer players planned to compete with various teams. Most of their games were held against college teams because of the lack of similar high school soccer clubs in this area. This club has remained in- tact due to abounding interest from its members although there was no official school affiliation. Team members pictured are, coun- terclockwise from upper left: Andrew Fairbairn, Tony Akers, Billy Wright, Dovid Underwood, Benji Blanchard, Jerry Jordan, Mark McCollum, Jim Zubieta-Friedman, and Gary Weidhaas.

year of 1976-77 was a year saturated with individuals and events that made it stand out as exceptional. One individual, Mao Tse-tung, died Sep- tember 9, 1976 and thus ended an era in the People ' s Republic of China. The eighty-two year old chairman led the Chinese Communist Revolution and was the founder of the People ' s Republic of China in 1949. His body lay in state for eight days in Peking. On November 2, a long struggle between Democrat Jimmy Corter from Plains, Georgia and incumbent Gerald Ford of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the United States Presidency ended. Carter received 297 electoral votes, twenty-seven more than he needed to win, while Ford received 240 and Reagan received one. It was also a big year for voting spirit because 53% of the eligible voters went to the polls. Although people dream of white Christmases, few expected a winter so full of snow, ice, and periods of particular unpleasantness as the winter of ' 76 when blizzards hit and ice accumulated. When many counties ran out of money for road salt, traveling became hazardous and Montgomery County Schools were closed for eighteen school days. Fuel was short and so some national forests opened up for people with wood-burning fuel systems to cut much needed wood. Another individual in the news for high schoolers was Wailin ' Waylon Jen- nings whose concert ' s earned him his name because of his lamenting lyrics. 205 YOU SAW IT 206 The bicentennial year came to a flourishing climax on July fourth with nearly a million people thronging into Washington, D.C. to watch an hour of fireworks over the capitol. On the same day, millions watched an armada of tall-masted soiling ships from thirty-one different countries pass in review in New York City ' s Hudson River. The Olympiad felt political tensions during the sum- mer of 1976 Games, yet the excellence of one fourteen- year-oid Romanian — Nadia Comaneci ■ — eased those tensions. The eighty-six pound and less than five foot gymnast wowed the world v hen she won three gold medals for her performances on the balance beam, the uneven parrallel bars, and the supreme title for com- bined exercises. Gary Mark Gilmore, an individual convicted of murder in Utah, became a large issue in 1977 when he de- manded that his sentence of death be carried out and resisted attempts of help. He turned to suicide twice but failed and was finally executed on January 17, 1977. The case was famous for the moral questions and the con- stitutionality surrounding the death penalty. Complimants of Roanoke Tlmes-World, Inc, Sidney Snell When high school athletic teams across the state of Virginia prepared their strategy against a school called Blacksburg High, often their defense keyed on a player called Sidney Snell. Snell ' s talent and recognition have backed the superior performances shown by four years of football, basketball, and even track teams from BHS. During Sidney ' s high school career fans saw him in district, regional, or state tournaments in football, basketball, or track. No one could pinpoint the reasons behind this versatility. Snell held school records in all three of the sports he participated in. Yet all of the glory didn ' t go to his head, as many disinterested critics would try to assume. Sidney was still quiet and camera shy and his friends were many. He will graduate in June and gone will be the days of Blacksburg ' s opponents setting their strategy on a lone player — ■ Sidney Snell. Those who coached him, trained with him, and those who were counted among his friends will all remember his name — as will the record books. 0 It was a great year for a new addition to girls ' athletics — volleyball. This addition had been in the making for several years but 1977 saw the op ening of its intramural season. Mrs. Nancy King coached the girls through their fourteen matches as they took the other teams by sur- prise. Who would have thought that this newly formed team could over- take the more seasoned teams of the area? B.J. Lester, a Physical Education major at VPI SU was the coaching assistant. Her help encouraged the team both during daily practices and at it ' s games. Sitting: Amy Sanchez, Mayte Drew, Sylvia Ruiz. Kneeling: Jinny Paterson, Lee Mor- rill, Kay Robinson, Laura Lamoureux, Lori Cathey.

It was a great year but there were disappointments on the way to victory. Perhaps the most crushing defeat was that of the State AA basketball tournament. After sweeping through the regional games, the Indians moved on to the big time: state. As the final game opened, the Indians took the lead although it was slim. The team ' s advantage grew with its confidence as the clock counted the minutes. But the fourth quarter brought nothing but heartbreak to the Indians and their fans. The Forest Glen Rangers built up a three point lead of their own which grew to six in the last minutes of the game. As the buzzer sounded, a disappointed Blacksburg team left the floor; the final score — 68-74. Pictures on this page depict the Blacksburg team at regional and state competition. Joe White Steve Fuller;. Whether they were competing at the Regional Football Tournament, District Track Meet, or the State Baseball game — the BHS teams were winners. Even though the teams lost a few games here and there, it was their spirit that pulled them through the rough spots. This drive toward victory resulted in a unity with their community as well as the student body. Indeed, in the 1976-77 year competitors representing Blacksburg High illustrated their ability to lose with dignity as well as win with grace. IP f ■fK o ' oov etuK ■Oy B. - 1 o.

That ' s right; even if you didn ' t act, dance, play, or actively participate, the effects, whether long term or short, were noticeable everywhere around you. Simply by making your appearance at school every day you managed to make your contribution there.
