I t Meherrin Regional Library 133 W Hicks Street Lawrenceville VA THE VIKING 1974 FOCUS BRUNSWICK ACADEMY LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA 23868 VOLUME 10 1 ■ s I ' S Dedication The end of the 1972-73 school year at Brunswick Academy marked the end of an era for Brunswick Academy in particular and southside Virginia education in general. The occasion was the retirement of Mr. Thomas R. Witten. Mr. Witten served Brunswick Academy from its very beginning. In the early years of BA, in addition to teaching science, he served as Head Teacher in the upper school. As the administration grew to the point where a Head Teacher was no longer needed, Mr. Witten was able to concentrate solely on teaching Biology and French to Academy stu¬ dents. Few, if any, people graduated from BA without having both Mr. T. R. Witten worked in and enjoyed one or more of his classes. While Mr. Witten ' s teaching at Brunswick Academy alone deserves high commendation, it is not the only reason for the VIKING to offer special recognition. (And special it is, for this is only the third dedication in the history of the VIKING, and the first one in its last eight volumes.) Almost all of Mr. Witten ' s adult life has been spent in devoting time to benefit others in Brunswick Coun¬ ty and surrounding areas, both educationally and otherwise. His retirement marked the end of 49 years of teaching in Brunswick and Greensville counties. In addition to the subjects at the academy, he iSi ] 7i 15 rr ? 5 also for many years prepared stu¬ dents for business life through teaching Diversified Occupations and Industrial Cooperative Training. He also served as an assistant high school principal. Long after the facts that Mr. Wit¬ ten taught are forgotten, students will remember his character. His patience, pleasant personality, and Christian faith rubbed off on all who came in contact with him, whether they were students, fellow faculty members, or just passers-by. It is with sincere appreciation for his work and his life that we, the sponsors and staff of the 1974 VIK¬ ING, dedicate this volume to Mr. T. R. Witten. 2 Above: Smiling brightly, Betty Nash seems to be overjoyed by a Viking vic¬ tory. Right: With sparkling eyes, Tim Wright looks up from eating his lunch.

Look back and remember the Year For we were there, and hopefully we have recorded the way we were Time, Money and Effort Form Recipe for Successful Prom One of the highlights of each spring is the Junior Senior Prom. The juniors, even though they have to do all the work, look forward to the prom each year just as much as the seniors do. After much debate the juniors decided on the theme “Romance in Venice. Through many projects the juniors scraped up enough money to finance a delightful evening. Four days of labor transformed the gym into a Venetian paradise. Even after the last minute decorating the juniors were able to come and enjoy the fun along with seniors. The band, Joshua, played for the entertain¬ ment of all. As the people left they carried with them not only souvenirs but many unforgettable memories. For that portrait which will be cherished and bring back memories of happy high school years, Ann Moore and Carl Connell take a break from the dancing and pose for their picture.

Old English customs and cos¬ tumes came to life in the reenact¬ ment of the romance of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The senior play presented each spring was directed by Mr. Robert Martin. The leading roles were portrayed by Lyn Baird as Henry VIII and Debbie Jones as Anne Boleyn. 13 With Spring Comes Baseball Struggle and defeat summarized the 1973 baseball season. The scores reveal that there were a couple of close games. Brunswick Academy 4 — Rock Hill 5 and Brunswick Acad¬ emy 3 — Prince Edward 4. The team rallied for the final game and closed the season with their only victory. Viking fans look forward to 1974 in hopes that the potential shown in 1973 will bring victories.

Seniors look forward to the senior trip, class night, bacca¬ laureate, and graduation. Under¬ classmen ' s minds and efforts center around things relating to the coming year such as SCO elections and cheerleader tryouts. It is also recognition time. Stu¬ dents receive both athletic and scho¬ lastic awards, and a few learn they have been selected for national scholastic honors. Many students participate in the forensic meet.

The football field groans under the strain of a thou¬ sand heavy cleats. Boys and girls become business¬ men as they sell yearbook ads and magazine subscriptions. I Nights mean studying for students | and grading papers for teachers. Friday nights, though, mean football. The highlight, of course, is the Homecoming weekend. The year is underway. Fall is a change of pace for both students and teachers. The 8:45 bell rings on the first day of school, and all involved are plunged into a flurry of activities. Teachers lecture.

The night proved to be a success finan¬ cially and otherwise. The youngsters enjoyed the many different booths and activities. The older people seemed to have had a good time milling around, talking to friends, and participating in the auction. Right: Mr. Nolen tries his skill at throwing darts while his wife looks on.

Seniors got in the spirit of the 1973 Virginia Gubernatorial election when their government classes sponsored a mock election. There was a political rally with Andy Nash speaking for Godwin and Keith Fer¬ guson speaking for Howell. Each faction demonstrated support for their candidate with cheers and skits. When the votes were tallied Godwi had won by a landslide. Godwin Defe« t£ Howell In Mock Election Above: Keith Ferguson gives Henry Howell ' s campaign speech.

Even with all the practice and effort the Vikings put forth, they only managed to win three games. The worst heartbreaker was the loss of the Homecoming game to arch¬ rival Kenston Forest. Several play¬ ers displayed promising potential during the season, and again there is a hope for a winning season next year.

A 1972 record of 10-4 and a second place finish, combined with the fact that only one player grad¬ uated, had fans hoping for even more. However, this was not to be. When the season began, several other players were missing as other interests took too much time to al¬ low them to play. In the first game, at Amelia, the Lady Vikings got off to a slow start, but pulled ahead in the second half to trounce the Patriots 50-31. Kenston Forest ' s visit to the BA gym left the girls with their first defeat of the season. Following this, the ever-long trip to Rock Hill pro¬ vided an 18 point victory bulge for BA. Mecklenburg proved to be an un¬ kind host as they prevailed in a foul filled game. The BA girls quickly got back on the winning track, though with a 43-32 win over Prince Edward. Following this, a visit to McKenney for a game with old nemesis Kenston Forest left the Kavaliers with their second win at the Vikings ' expense. An Amelia visit to the Vikings ' home court provided another vic¬ tory to bring the Lady Vikings back to the .500 mark. Huguenot ' s height proved too much for BA as the Rebels picked up a win on their floor. Against Rock Hill the story was different. The BA team triumphed, 34-17. Rival Meck¬ lenburg proved a stumblingblock once again as BA lost 52-36. Last year ' s visit to Prince Edward ended in a flood, but the 1973 trip was even worse for many Viking fans. The Wolverines pulled out a one point victory in the final seconds of the game, and simultaneously pulled out most of the Lady Vikings ' spirit for going into the VAAC tournament. The defeat overshadowed what was the best individual scoring perfor¬ mance by a varsity girl in 1973 as Donna Gregory dropped in 23 points. The loss to Prince Edward gave BA a 5-7 record for the season and a fourth place finish in the VAAC western division. Opening round tournament play saw the Lady Vikings travel to York for a game with their first place eastern division team. BA never seemed to get untracked as they closed out 1973 with a loss to the Confederates. Amelia . Kenston Forest Huguenot Rock Hill .

Extend Victory String To 32 Games The bench stands and cheers the rest of the squad Edward, in the final seconds of their victory over Prince Overpowering is only one of the many terms that could describe the 1973 Brunswick Academy junior varsity girls basketball team. The two previous years ' record of 22 consecutive wins challenged the 1973 team to continue to win. Con¬ tinue they did! To say that they won all 10 games would only scratch the surface. It was how they won that impressed not only BA fans, but also the oppo¬ sition. The BA girls averaged 44.7 points per game while opponents averaged 13. In only two games did the junior Lady Vikings fail to reach 40 points. The other team went over 16 points only twice. Statistics show that the record was a team effort. Seldom did the starting five play as much as half of the game. In six of the games over half of the team scored points for BA. Terry Slaw led the scoring with a 16.5 average. Others contributed timely scoring, defense, and moral support to make the team a winner both on the scoreboard and in atti¬ tude. With a 32 game victory streak over the last three years. Vikings fans look forward to 1974 as some players move up to the varsity level.

They give students the chance to observe seasons such as Christmas, Thanks¬ giving, and Easter. They also provide music, magic, and other events which educate and entertain. 37 Winter Storm Brings Christmas wasn ' t quite the same at Brunswick Academy in 1973. An ice storm wiped out the last three days of school before Christmas vacation was supposed to begin. The unexpected vacation meant that when school re-opened in jan- uary, door decorations were still to be judged, and gifts were still to be exchanged. The White Christmas assembly, in which students bring gifts for people in local nursing homes, was con¬ verted to a Valentine ' s Day remem¬ brance, with the white boxes deco¬ rated with pretty red and white ribbons.

With a number of experienced players returning, the season began on a note of optimism. Hopes turned into victories as, after losing the sea¬ son ' s opener to Isle Of Wight, the Vikings reeled off three straight wins before Christmas tournament action began. After splitting four Christmas tour¬ ney games, the team faced its stiffest competition — home-and-home contests with the other VAAC west¬ ern division teams. The end of the season found the Vikings with a 12-11 overall record, their first win¬ ning season in six years. Keith Morris stretches upward in streamline form to make a lay-up.

There were one-sided wins, one-sided losses, and victories by one point and two points. The overall record of 8-10 doesn ' t indicate the value of the season, for the measure of a junior varsity team is not how many games it won or lost, but how much the players pro¬ gressed.

We came to participate. They came to share. All combine in Unity. English Focuses On Grammar, Literature Through English courses students progress in their ability to express themselves, both in writing and in speaking. They also expose them¬ selves to some of man ' s great litera¬ ture. Structural grammar, vocabulary building, composition, reading, and speaking form the core of English studies. Students also extend their activities into other areas, such as producing plays and putting exten¬ sive study into research papers. Above: Pam Speight ponders over an English exercise.

Math 9 students gain a back¬ ground in basic everyday math which is useful at home and on the job. They may then extend these skills by taking business math and bookkeeping under the vocational department. Those who take Algebra I may continue through subsequent Ge¬ ometry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math courses. These courses pri¬ marily give a firm foundation tor college work. They also, however, develop skills such as reasoning and self-discipline which are helpful in any area of life. 49 Vocational Courses Build Business Fundamentals Brunswick Academy offers a va¬ riety of vocational subjects. Students striving to take shorthand dictation acquire valuable skills. Amid clacking typewriters, others work for speed and accuracy which are essentials in secretarial work. Bookkeeping, general business, and business math benefit students who will be accountants, consumers, or businessmen. Drafting prepares j students to become architects and engineers. Above: Melissa Link completes a typing Gail Pearson diligently prepares a assignment. Below: Speedily, Christie bookkeeping form. Sizemore takes dictation.

Below: Students enjoy the use of maps in Mr. Hewitt ' s World History class. Social Studies at Brunswick Acad¬ emy offers students a comprehen¬ sive survey of man and his world. World History students learn the story of ancient and medieval civil¬ izations to see how these relate to our present time. World Geography students study the interdependence of various countries as well as their individual characters. Civics pre¬ pares individuals to be active citizens. Juniors and seniorsclose out their social studies with American History and Government, respectively. His¬ tory 11 teaches students the events that have led the United States to its present situation, while Govern¬ ment emphasizes the role of local, state, and federal governments in our everyday lives. Carolyn Daniel looks up from taking notes in History class. 51 Right: Biology comes alive as students view organ¬ isms under the microscope. Earth, life, space, and chemicals form the nucleus of the Science Department at Brunswick Academy. Freshmen in Science 9 study physi¬ cal science. Sophomores delve into Biology, in which they learn details of various plants and animals. Juniors and seniors who show a real interest in science move on to chemistry and physics.

Above: A Latin Of the students studying French, Spanish, and Latin, some are taking the courses for college preparation. Others are exploring a new experi¬ ence in learning. A few simply find personal satisfaction in understand¬ ing and speaking a foreign language. No matter what the reason, when a student enters a language class, he must study to be successful. Strug¬ gling with pronunciations, grammar, and vocabulary, many students find a foreign language to be one of the most difficult, time consuming, and challenging courses offered at Brunswick Academy. In the first year of study, students learn basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Second year stu¬ dents delve into more complex areas, such as composition and advanced grammar. Mrs. Bishop gives Spanish I student-, air; wi n their dialogue. 53 Physical Education Exercises Minds And Bodies When one enters Brunswick Academy ' s gymtorium dur¬ ing a physical education period he is likely to find a frenzy of activity. On the basketball court students may be playing basketball in two half-court games. In front of the bleachers may be a game of volleyball. At another time the activities may be changed to tumbl¬ ing, badminton, calisthenics, and running laps. Good weather may find people outside for softball and other fresh air sports. Meanwhile, students in classrooms are learning how to bandage a wound in first aid or trying to understand the operation of a distributor in driver training.

Three years ago the music classes struggled through their first year of existence Today, students in music work constantly on new material. The BA Chorus not only presented Fall, Christmas, and Spring concerts for academy students and patrons, but also traveled to local churches to sing for them at Christmas. More students ar enrolling in and enjoying BA art classes. First year stu¬ dents learn fundamentals, while Art II classes go on to more advanced work. Evidence of artistic accom¬ plishment was the winning of both individual and school trophies in novice and varsity art at the AVA Forensics meet.

After-school hours, holidays, and Saturdays began to turn into com¬ pleted pages. Work was underway. Two challenges faced the staff. One was meeting the deadline after a late start. The second was to im¬ prove on the 1973 Vikings which won a second place rating nationally in the Columbia Scholastic Press Asso¬ ciation judging and a first place AVA yearbook award. With the first challenge overcome, staff members had to wait and see whether the second would also be met. Saunders smiles even after a long typing session.

Board Formulates Policy For A New Decade As Hugh P. Nolen, Headmaster; Sterling P. Clary; Robert E. Lewis; W. Hawley Hawthorne, President; Carrel B. Tuck; James!. Clary. BOARD OF DIRECTORS W. Hawley Jerrie B. Baird C. Dale Blackwell Glennie C. Bower L. G. Chandler James I. Clary Robert C. Clary Sterling Clary Robert L Edwards Glen High Jack House Robert M. House Charles E. Jones Hawthorne Robert Epps Lewis Alvin Lucy R. B. Lynch, Jr. Donley Mitchell Harvey Moody Ervin E. Moore Otis Warren Moore J. B. Perkins George W, Roberts Hugh Shell Carrell Tuck J. T. Wiley The governing body of Brunswick Academy is composed of twenty-five patrons who represent the various surrounding communities from which the Brunswick Academy student body is drawn. The Board ' s task is to for¬ mulate general policy, adopt the bud¬ get and choose the headmaster. The Executive Committee, made up of five men chosen by the Board of Directors, carries the main respon¬ sibility of executive decisions. The com¬ mittee meets at least once a month as designated by charter and often meets twice during a month. They are faced with many major decisions and work many long hours to improve our Academy. All connected with Brunswick Academy are indebted to these men who strive to do what is best for the school as a whole. 72 Mr. Nolen Oversees Completion Of First Ten Years Hugh P. Nolen, Headmaster The Academy is completing our tenth year of operation. What an accomplishment! We shall pause now and pay tri¬ bute to the many fine Academy Citizens who have contributed so very much to the building of BA in so many ways! The value of properties at The Academy approaches one-half mil¬ lion dollars. The transportation sys¬ tem covers over one thousand square miles. The Academy serves four hundred and seventy-five families, has seven hundred and thirty-five students, and sixty-eight employees. Monies which are ac¬ counted .for in the various budgets and funds approach three-quarters of a million dollars per year. BA is BIG BUSINESS! The Academy curriculum has been improved, and has grown over the years to meet the needs of Academy Students. It compares most favorably with curricula of other academies; in fact, it exceeds the minimum re¬ quirements by accreditation agen¬ cies and is enriched with higher mathematics, science, art, music, forensics, and many other offerings. Improvement of curriculum, ser¬ vices, and teaching is ever-evolving by The Staff in an effort to offer ' the best ' we can afford for BA Students and Families! The spirit of BA is growing! Young and old, alike, are asking What can I do? This means, really, What contribution can I make? This gives inspiration to the many citizens who have served, and are serving. The Academy in so many different ways. This ultimately will solidify BA ' s efforts into an indelible ' spirit ' of cooperation and accomplishment. No greater need has any institution of learning. The Academy is enthusiastic about the future! The challenge to per¬ form on the highest level possible, the offering of the ' best ' we can afford, the solid support through co¬ operative effort, all will make BA even greater in the minds of those we serve in the future. Toward these goals The Academy will strive. It is appropriate that we hold our heads high over prior efforts and accomplishments! It is imperative that The Academy Family hold our heads high to boost ' The Spirit of BA ' ! The SUCCESS in the future, as has been true of the past, depends on the concerted efforts by the many fine citizens of The Academy who can say We have given our share, we have done our best, and the result is evident. We are justly proud of BA! Respectfully, HUGH P. NOLEN Headmaster 73 M. R. Atkinson Continues To Assist In Leading BA M. R. Atkinson, Assistant Headmaster. It is a distinct pleasure and honor to be associated with Brunswick Academy. Here one finds a well trained and dedi¬ cated Administration and Faculty. Each desires the optimum of learning and development for our students. Our student body is a cosmopolitan group of fine young people. Our alumni have written a worthy record in the worlds of their choosing. We have followed their careers with interest and pride. There is no reason why our present students should do anything less. We will follow each of you with equal concern. Personally, I am indebted to ever so many for days of real privilege. To each is entended heartfelt appreciation, hopes for a bright and glorious future, and an abiding hope for continuing guidance and strength for each suc¬ ceeding task. M. R. Atkinson Mrs. Gloria Jean Browder recently joined the Brunswick Academy staff as secretary to Mr. Atkinson. 74 PTO, Athletic BA Activities Club Boost A panel composed of Wendy Clary, Virginia Walker, Mrs. John Faina Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Atkinson, Mrs. Bower, Mr. Ed Harrell, Mrs. Dugger and Mr. Creasy looks back on the last decade of BA and discusses future decades. Brunswick Academy ' s Parent- Teacher Organization and Athletic Club are auxiliary organizations which contribute to the school fi¬ nancially and in uniting interest and enthusiasm in school events. Both organizations have contri¬ buted much to retiring the debt on the gymtorium. The PTO sustains patrons ' interest through its ' pro¬ jects, such as a review of the last decade ' s achievement.

The Fall of 1973 saw the creation : of a new concept at Brunswick | Academy — the formation of a Mid- | die School. i Previously, the Academy ' s student j body had been grouped into Lower School (grades K-7) and Upper School (grades 8-12). The Middle ■ School came into being by grouping grades 5-8 under a separate heading. The Middle School provides a j transitional phase for students. They leave the single-teacher concept and operate with a different teacher for each subject. Besides classes in the green build¬ ing, as the Middle School is fondly known, students travel to the art and music rooms for those subjects and to the gym for physical educa¬ tion. Also, eighth graders have the opportunity to take classes in the Upper School, such as Algebra I, Latin I, and other courses. The Middle School is fast becom¬ ing a strong part of the academy ' s program. Word puzzles are fun! her studies. Mary Lloyd Davidson ignores the presence of the photographer as she intently continues 98 Audio-visual aids enhance the academic program of the middle school.

Mr. Rich Clary was Master of Ceremonies for the event. The tension mounted un¬ til finally the judge ' s decision was announced. Esther Bower was crowned queen with Robin Rough- ton as first runner-up and Wanda Kidd as second runner-up. Below: Mouths fly open as the winner is announced. Right: Esther Bower smiles ex¬ uberantly after winning title. Junior Miss Brunswick Academy, Esther Bower Right: Winners in the contest were Robin Roughton, first runner-up, Est¬ her Bower, junior Miss BA, and Wan¬ da Kidd, second runner up. 100 Students Learn The Art Of Language The language arts program in the middle school is a coordination of language, reading, and spelling. Students strive to increase their knowledge of the English language and expand on its proper usage. Each course is dependent on the others as teachers and students to¬ gether try to weave one web toward functional intelligence. Above: Mrs. Hardy instructs her class in some of the finer points of English. Left: Mrs. Chand¬ ler demonstrates the grammatically correct sentence. Below: Timmy Fer¬ guson gives his book report. Science And Mathematics Provide Ai The mathematics program for the middle school builds on the founda¬ tion laid in the primary grades. Whole number operations are reviewed and extended. Included in this are averages, as well as other numeration systems. Emphasis is placed on shortcuts for computing. Number theory provides a found¬ ation for understanding rational numbers. This includes prime num¬ bers, greatest common factor, least common multiple, and some set notation. Rational number concepts are taught and extended, including work with ratios and scale drawings. Each grade studies decimals. Sixth graders begin the study of percents, and seventh graders go deeper into their use. Geometry is taught in each grade, with more emphasis placed on con¬ struction and the use of formulas in the seventh grade. Integers are introduced in the fifth grade, addition of integers in the sixth grade, and their subtraction, multiplication, and division in the seventh grade. The metric system is introduced in the sixth grade and extended in the seventh, while graphing is begun in the seventh grade. Top Right: A student studies addition and nnulti- plication.

Changes come about so fast, we must know how to accept. Children do this better than adults; they are more adept. We coordinate our science with other subjects taught. Knowledge of language arts and math to science must be brought. Health and social studies are important to us, too. For they need to be well-rounded in all things that they do. We try to motivate them, so that for knowledge they will yearn. Sometimes this is difficult, but most of them want to learn. When they begin to make progress, we are gratified. But teachers are peculiar animals, not easily satisfied. We emphasize the likeness of the solar system and the atom; That the structure of all living things follow a definite pattern. Knowing the laws of the universe, no doubt should ever exist Concerning God, the Father, who alone could have created this.

While students are in the classroom they learn to develop proper health habits. The activity part of the program offers games, such as basketball, ex¬ ercises, such as jumping jacks, and dexterity drills, such as dribbling a basketball around an obstacle course. Students complete the course ready to go into the upper school with sound minds and bodies. Above: The game starts with a jump ball. Right: Amy Taylor goes over her notes.

In study¬ ing geography, students gain the ability to evaluate the earth on which they live, to trace cause and effect, to note relationships. In studying history, students be¬ come aware of the beginning of our country and of other countries. They can learn from the pastand let the study of history guide them in the future. i 1 IIH HVIHBHA ' I 1 y Top: During break Mrs. Steed can ' t get a rest as students come to see her.

In the lan¬ guage arts they learn how to spell and pronounce words using phonetic generalizations and how to build meaningful and interesting sentences and paragraphs. Science class provides direct ob¬ servation and experiments that will help each child to understand and enjoy his present environment and prepare him to cope with a future environment. Health studies provide an ad¬ equate knowledge of health, safety and fitness, emotions, and social relationships.

We were excited and in suspense About the third grade course of events. One of the first things that we learned Was about the atlas and how the world turns. We also learned how others live And more about writing in cursive. In health we studied how to make friends In science, how our bodies work-from end to end. In social studies we had building and construction And in math, the tables of multiplication. But it ' s not all work and no play, you see. Because the stories and parties are fun as can be. We always enjoy our friends at playtime And these fun things are only in daytime. In the evening there was the fall festival Where our booth was very successful. Then there was the beauty contest And our classmates were the prettiest. We all enjoyed the Christmas Program And all the practicing beforehand Now we have to all hang loose And practice for The Golden Goose. We ' ve learned a lot and we ' ve had fun; It seems as though we ' ve just begun. But before we go we ' d like to say — Tomorrow is another day. Fern and Cathy Hobbs (daughter-mother) 118 Second Graders Develop Skills Second Grade work is designed to en¬ hance skills in reading and number work; to develop competence in the use of oral and written language; to promote under¬ standing of social interrelationships of citizens in a community; to discover the joy in the discipline of science. To accomplish these results, the stu¬ dents must achieve self-discipline in study habits. He must accept the responsibility for applying his energies to that end and to earn for himself a rewarding place in our world. It ' s fun to play with puppets. Mitchell Browder, Michelle Armstrong, and Karen Stainback discover this as they entertain class¬ mates with the puppet ' s antics.

Right: Becky Spence works diligently on her spelling. Lower Right: George Turner and Dan Thomas proudly display their drawing. A first grader collapses on his desk after finishing his coloring. The curriculum centers around the basic reading skills. In addition, teachers try to establish a solid foundation in addition and subtrac¬ tion. They attempt to make learning enjoyable through the use of various games, including rhymes, ri ddles, songs and finger plays. Since the six year old is unskilled in writing about their feelings and thoughts, the use of pictures is an ideal way of communicating. This being their first real exposure to school, Mrs. jane Groendyke and Miss Beverly Keeling aim, as teach¬ ers, to provide many enriching ex¬ periences and establish a healthy concept of learning that will aid them throughout their school years. 120 IV Abernathy learns he must take the responsibility of cleaning up.
