The Rockets climaxed their successful season with a 75-58 win over Fort Chiswell to secure the Mountain Empire District Championship. 10 Coach Samuel F. Groseclose accepts the Mountain Empire District Sportsmanship Plaque. Glen Tate (55) and Stephen Newberry (31) share the Tournament Championship trophy. Jubliant Rockets lift Stephen Newberry to cut the net from the rim following the exciting tournaments. 11 Big Walker Mountain Tunnel Opens An event of great significance was the opening of the Big Walker Mountain Tunnel which is located entirely in Bland County and serves as a connecting device for the super highway Virginia Interstate 77 between Bland and Wytheville. This road project, one of the greatest undertakings of its kind, in the history of Virginia, was officially opened for traffic on June 29, 1972. Among the more than one thousand persons attending the colorful ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the south portals of the forty-two hundred foot twin tubes, were Virginia Governor, the Honorable Linwood Holton, and former Governor, the Honorable Mills Godwin, along with officials of the Great Lakes-to-Florida-Highway Association. This ceremony was the culmination of the ground-breaking for the mammoth tunnel which took place on October 16, 1967. James A. Williams, President of the Great Lakes-to-Florida-Highway Association, and Governor Linwood Holton cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony. 12 There are some things in life that never change We love and hate, laugh and cry, win and lose, fight and surrender, but we never lose sight of the fond memories of our youth. They are as eternal and beautiful as life itself 14 We may not leave a heritage on earth Of famous name or wealth or noble birth; For life, in prearranging destiny Has ruled that many men shall humble be. greater gifts than these have giv.e, scatter far and wide the while 'gifts of love and faith and deeds v r Tltat spread upon the earth like Vjnagfc seeds A nd grow a garden lovely as the dawn With shining paths that men may walk upon- A garden that will bloom forever _ _ bright When wealth and fame have wither ed overnight.
