Our coverage begins with the Sock Hop held after a boy’s basketball game by the Spanish Club and Art Club. Rich Clary, from station WLES, furnished rec- ords for the hop. This event was not a profitable one but only a fun night. The AVA forensics meet was held at BA on March 23. As hosts our students put out a special effort to become in- volved in any helpful way. Doing especial- ly well were the Viking ’73 and the debate team, both of which took tirst place. One of the highlights of April tor the underclassmen was the election ot Stu- dent Council positions for the coming year. Two students were nominated by the Student Council and two by the faculty for each office. After several weeks of campaigning, the big day finally arrived for the candidates to present their platforms to the student body. After everyone had assembled in the gym, Mr. Nolen announced that due to heavy rains school would be dismissed early. Many candidates were relieved while others wanted to hurry and finish their cam- paign. The next day, the candidates spoke on what their plans would be if elected for the coming year and the following morning the votes were cast. A rising Senior, Anne Prince, became president and Virginia Walker, a Junior, was chosen vice-president while Donna Harrell, Raye Jones and Becky Wrenn were chosen secretary, treasurer, and reporter, respec- tively. The main event on the April calendar at BA was the prom. After much debate the Juniors decided to leave the romantic themes and use a jungle paradise to set the mood for their theme, “Tropical Safari”. Due to the late arrival of the band. Marsh, the grand march for Se- niors and their dates was delayed for 30 minutes. Finally after the evening got underway everyone enjoyed the scenery, which included jungle huts, palm tree, and various tropical birds.

Enthusiastic SCO Helps To Stir Student Interest And Involvement In the words of those who attended, the dance was described as “Fantastic” and “the best one ever held at BA.” The energetic Senior Class of 1974 decided to tackle a comedy for their Senior Play. Under the direction of Mrs. Judy Radford and Mrs. Barbara Bishop parts were cast for “It’s Great to be Crazy”. Mr. Maxwell, the head of his house and the play was played by Stan Ballance. Because the students were so well fitted for their character roles the audience “rolled in the aisles.” The night was not only a comical evening but a financial success also. With money made from the play and other projects, the Seniors were able to send their class to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for one week of fun and sun. Back at BA, the students were strug- gling through their exams. The final week of school, students attended an awards assembly. At this time Amy Hammack, a rising Senior was awarded the highest award at the assembly: honorable men- tion in the National Merit Scholarship. Upon returning from Myrtle Beach, the Seniors prepared themselves for their last days at BA. With Baccalaureate Ser- vice on June 2 and Graduation on June 4, Seniors left behind many memories of teachers, friends and events. June 4 marked the beginning of a vacation from school but not for everyone. Several BA students’ hard work received rewards during the summer. Amy Hammack spent part of her summer at the Governor’s School for the Gifted. Debbie Allen was a representative in Miss National Teenager of Virginia, and Pat Norwood placed as 2nd runner-up. Betty Nash was chosen “Miss Bobby Richard- son”. As Deputy Governor of the South from the Emporia Jr. Civitan, Wanda Willis was hard at work. CONTINUED Opening - 5 Forensic Honors Highlight Academic Year Our cheerleaders and the Vikettes at- tended summer camp to learn new rou- tines and polish their old techniques. Both received a Spirit Stick for their pep and vitality. The Vikettes came within one point of winning the overall trophy based on spirit. Several Viking staff members attended a workship at Longwood College spon- sored by Delmar Company. As they listened to various experts they obtained tips on how to get better coverage for their yearbook. The knowledge that they received paid off in the production of this book. The Student Council Organization played a more vital role this year than ever before, headed by Anne Prince. They began working early with meetings dur- ing the summer and held a faculty lunch- eon. They came up with fresh ideas in- cluding the first Christmas Ball held December 26. They also sponsored the traditional Homecoming Dance on Oc- tober 19. Through the SCO, BA partici- pated in the Student Exchange program. Ten of our students attended Kenston Forest for the day and ten students from Mecklenburg visited our school. The main idea of this was to promote better school relations. After a refreshing summer, students returned to school on September 10, one week later than previously planned. Hec- tic days soon became routine as they got back into the swing of things. With 1 1 new teachers and a new assistant head- master, Mr. M. O. Rishel, students soon adjusted to teaching methods. Homecoming ’74 was unique in that two queens were unexpectedly chosen.

BSS P Opening - 7 Enthusiasm was the word for BA sports in 1974-75. Attention and stress was on the importance of the audience. Pep rallies tried to fill the students with spirit, and a faithful few attended the games. For the first time in BA’s history, the softball and JV football teams brought home the pennant. Starting out with only a few faithful play- ers the baseball teams strove to bring honor to BA and joy to its fans. Its hard work resulted in close games and victories. Hopes for a championship Girls’ Varsity Basketball team fell through; they had to settle for fourth place in the Western Divi- sion. The varsity football record didn’t match the junior varsity record but gained valuable experience for next year’s session. 8 - Competition comPGTiTion Upper Left: The crack of the bat meeting the ball signals a hit for Terri Howerton and Brunswick Academy’s championship softball team.

To many, the 1974 baseball season does not appear to be an impressive one. But a winning record, though it means a lot, is not everything. The Vikings played a tough schedule, and to top things off, many games there were few or no players on the bench for replacements when in- juries occured. Neither, said the players, was it easy to give their best to empty bleachers. These and many other predica- ments hurt the team all season. Neverthe- less, they played relentlessly, with the drive of a team with all the breaks. Pre-season action brought encourage- ment to the gutsy few, as they over- powered Surry and Nansemond-Suffolk. The season opener with Huguenot, however, proved to be disappointing as the powerhouse Rebels slapped BA with its first loss. Pitcher J. B. Reid held them relatively close, but the Vikings just couldn’t get the big hits. At Prince Edward, the Vikings played well, but their offense was again lacking, as the team evened their record at 2-2. Things were getting pretty discourag- ing, and Kenston Forest didn’t help the situation. Viking pitchers didn’t have it. and were mercilessly knocked off the mound by the Kavalier bats. The offense, stymied by their strong pitching and de- fense, scored only one run. Mecklenburg proved to be a relatively even match to BA. In the first game of the doubleheader, the Vikings had every- thing going for them, as they held on for a one run victory to break a 3-game losing streak. In the second game, however, the odds were against BA, for there were no fresh players, as everyone had played the first game. Mecklenburg took advantage of this and the exorbitance of BA errors, and pulled out a 5-3 win. Traveling to Huguenot saw the boys play well the first few innings, but then develop butterfingers, as the home team rallied for nine runs the last two innings. The long trip to Charlottesville was worth a split with Rock Hill. In the first game, the timing of Viking batters was thrown off considerably by the slow 10 C ' ompetition Ba.seball “We Almost Put It Together” “Uh-oli,” says Mike Wright as he stretches for the play at first, only to discover that the ball has been wildly thrown. pitching of the opposition, and untimely errors were committed. BA produced just one hit, a single by Tex Whitley, while scoring once. The Vikings sought revenge the second game, adjusted their hitting, and got runs early. The guys came pretty close to blowing the game on errors, but J. B. Reid held on for the win. Playing at home against Amelia, the Vikings played a pretty well-balanced game, with several outstanding catches by the outfield, as BA came through, 5-3. The rematch with Kenston did not produce a victory, but the game was much closer and better played. Kenston scored its unearned runs early, and BA could not manage to cross home even once. This was the only shutout BA suf- fered the entire season. Wlren the Wolverines of Prince Edward came to town, they must have brought ice for BA bats as did Kenston, for the Vikings only scored once. Viking defense and pitching were good, but their oppo- nent’s must have been better. The final season game was a must win for the team. Playing Amelia saw the boys hand the Patriots a 2-0 defeat. All- around good play, with spectacular out- field grabs, heads-up hitting and base run- ning boosted BA spirits for the district eliminations. They ended the season with a much improved record over ’73, 6-8. BA’s opponent in the contest for fourth place in the West was Rock Hill. Said the players, “It was the best game we played all year.” Rock Hill exploded with six runs the first two innings, and faces began to show anxiety. Neverthe- less, the team played with poise, and held Rock Hill scoreless the rest of the way. Playing catch-up was now familiar to the boys, but this time it didn’t faze them a bit, as they put on the heat, scoring seven runs in the last five innings for a come- from-behind victory. Fourth place Brunswick had to play Eastern champion Isle of Wight in the tournament playdowns. By this time, in- juries had taken their toll of Viking play- ers; however, the players said this was “no excuse for losing— they just out- played us”. Isle of Wight scored early, and as hard as the team tried, they couldn’t catch th e Chargers. The loss eliminated BA from the tourney and ended their season.

Competition - Baseball - 1 1 Fundamentals, Attitudes Show In Record Of 7-9 Every game was a team effort, but there were a few plusses: J. B. Reid did a good job on the mound, and played fine defensive centerfield; Shortstop Ricky Cheely, a leading hitter and baserunner, was voted the team’s MVP; Pitcher-cen- terfielder Carroll Moseley was voted the Most Improved Player, and all-conference pitcher in the Western Division of the VAAC; and Clint Clary, also a player of versatility, had a good season pitching and playing third. Because of the team’s definite im- provement, there is promise in the ’75 team as there will be more experience, and hopefully more members on the team to provide more depth. The boys really gave 1 00% the whole year; whether they won or lost, played super fantastic or super crummy, every player could say that all those hard days of practice were not in vain. Through the coaching of Mr. Shirley Sweet, the team learned fundamental baseball, including how to take the losses with the wins. Front Row: Clint Clary, Carroll Moseley, J. B.

Competition Baseball 13 High Spirit, Lots of Noise Award BA First Softball Championship 1974 VAAC Champs — Lady Vikings: “We Did It!” Philosophers have said that bad begin- nings mean good endings, and the Lady Vikings can certainly agree with this. The promise of a successful season after two preseason victories (beating Nansernond Suffolk and Surry) suddenly began to diminish as the Lady Vikings promptly lost four of their first five season games. In the opening game with Huguenot, inexperience in a young infield, combined with weak hitting, cost BA a heartbreak- ing one-run loss. At Prince Edward, the second loss was marked down, attributed mainly to poor umpiring. Traveling to Kenston, the team scored only twice (from Boo Clary’s home run), compared to Kenston’s output of 12. Rain postponements kept the team from getting “psyched up” for the games. When the girls traveled to Mecklenburg for a double-header, they realized they had to get to work . . . FAST. In the first game, the Lady Vikings played a great defensive game, cutting runners down at third and home, while holding the Lady Knights for three extra innings to chalk up the season’s first vic- tory. The second game saw the tired girls play sub-par in the early innings as Meck- lenburg salvaged a split for the day. With scorching bats the improving Ladies rolled over the Rebels. Still on the road at Rock Hill, BA stomped their op- ponents twice to sweep the doubleheader. Finally coming home, the Lady Vik- ings extended their winning streak to four games by overpowering Amelia. But Kenston brought her bats to BA for the next game, and badly embarrassed the girls, winning by 1 1 . The “turning point of the season,” claims Coach Walton, was the big Prince Edward home game, a must win to keep any playoff hopes alive. A bad start had the Lady Vikings down 8-2 after four, and all began to think about next year. But through the next three innings, BA tied the score, and the Viking bench was making so much noise the visitors com- pletely fell apart. The “Big Team” pulled it out in the last of the ninth, on consecutive singles by Boo Clary, Winona House, and Daphne Slaw. The Lady Vikings were fi- nally putting it all together; bats were hot, defense and pitching had stabilized, younger players were gaining needed ex- perience, and most importantly, there was spirit on the field and on the bench. For the finale of the regular season, BA barely held on to beat the Patriots of Amelia. This sent the team, 7-5 in the conference to an elimination tournament with Prince Edward, Huguenot, and Mecklenburg, to determine the second, third, and fourth place teams- Kenston finished undefeated. In the first game BA had no trouble quieting the Prince Edward bats, as they easily tromped to a big victory. The third game saw the Vikings capture second place in the West, knocking off Hugue- not. Next came the playdown with Nanse- mond-Suffolk. With the score tied 5-5 after SVi, BA put on the heat, scored six runs in the fourth, and held on to beat Nansernond easily.

Blowing an ear- ly lead, the Lady Vikings struggled, prayed, and held on-but just barely-to win, 11-10. Other previous eliminations left Ken- ston to face BA in the championship game. Despite the disadvantage of being visitors, the team was ready to take it all, so they just started the now-familiar rou- tine of psyching out the opponents every possible way. And did it work! Trailing the Kavaliers 2-0 after five, the team was becoming somewhat anxious— they were blowing so many opportunities to score— but, they were keeping their opponents close with good defense and practically untouchable pitching. Heads were turned to the skies, beg- ging for a rally. And what a rally it was! Like the game with Prince Edward, the Kenston players were completely discon- certed by the chants, siren s, and howling dogs. In the sixth with two out, the La- dies scored seven runs so crazily un- earned, it had to be seen to be believed. Going into the last of the seventh, Kenston’s last chance, the BA strategy was to keep their cool, and get three outs. After a brief prayer, the team took their time, and got the outs as they came, with the aid of the bench yelling, “Defense, defense!” Kenston had scored once, and with two outs, had runners on first and sec- ond, and their cleanup batter at the plate. A pitch high and tight meant out number three, a low one meant a 7-6 game, with them still at bat. It was low, and the crack of the bat meant trouble. The ball was deep to right— VERY deep. With a lefty hitter, the outfield was pulled to right. Short- fielder Boo Clary climbed the fence and hauled the would-be home run down, sav- ing the game, and pitcher Gail Clary’s life. BA fans and bench swarmed the field and shed some happy tears with the num- ber one team, the Lady Vikings. After such a bad start. “WE DID IT!” Lady Vikings End Season With 7 Straight Wins, Late season surge, change of attitude transforms team. COMM ENT A R Y: The Lady Vikings should really be commended for a fine season. Even though they played 1 3 games on the road, they ended the season with a fine 14-5 record, and seven straight wins. Other coaches said BA had the most spirited team, and we did. At the begin- ning of the season, everyone “wanted to play, but didn’t want to work”. But after the second Prince Edward game, attitudes were completely changed. Our Vikings began to play AS a team, FOR the team. “We didn’t have much support from any- one but a few parents and students, but our bench compensated for this. They were our strongest asset.” said Coach Wal- ton. That may be true, but the second strongest asset was the aggressive, positive coaching of Miss Walton. Without her, the team said they wouldn’t have lasted the season. Sure the team had disagreements, but Miss Walton held them together . . . all the way. Hang in there, team, for a repeat in ’75.

Winning Efforts, Losing Scores Story of ’74 Vikings Football In late summer when the gridiron sea- son commenced, all associated with the Vikings began predicting BA would come out on top for the first time in many years. At the end of the season, the team was criticized for winning only two games; seldom did anyone realize the improvement in hustle and attitude this year. No one thought to consider that the games were played with more injured players than not. Also, nearly every play- er changed both offensive and defensive positions at leas t once, and five different quarterbacks were used. BA opened the ’74 season with a non- conference win over Enfield. Viking de- fense was outstanding, and though the offense wasn’t overpowering, one touch- down was made, on a short run by Derick Thomas. The Vikings made it two in a row with a slaughter at Rock Hill. With the new VAAC rule, eligible JV’s dressed for the game and got to play, a credit to spectac- ular BA play. Traveling to Gill School for a non-con- ference contest, the Vikings repeated their favorite cliche, “It just wasn’t our day.’’ The score was kept close until the third quarter, when Tex Whitley and QB Hall Squire were injured. Tex returned to action, but BA morale had broken in half when their quarterback’s arm did the same. Weaver Squire led the team the rest of the game, but nothing went right; the guys slightly gave up, and were over- whelmingly defeated. Kenston Forest literally ran over BA lines, as the Vikings were outplayed and outscored the majority of the game. The defense was reviving, while the offense gained its third quarterback, Kevin Black- well. BA coaches predicted a 12-point win over Mecklenburg, but somehow the “12” was in the Knights favor instead of ours. Penalty— and injury-prone, BA hit and played hard until the Knights scored late in the fourth quarter to make it 12-0, after which the Vikings played “Punch- and-Judy” with more gusto than before. With Rick Lee out for six weeks, Carroll Moseley for one, and at least six more Vikings injured, the bench began to look more pitiful every day. Playing undefeated Huguenot without reserves was a farce, but with newly re- cruited players, coaches Harrison, New- som, and Lynch could afford to rest the regulars. The Rebels took a very early lead, but the Vikings never gave up, even at the end. Defense looked good, despite the score, and again there was a change of quarterbacks, as Tom Temple took over in the backfield. The Isle of Wight game was one of few mistakes or big plays by either team. For three quarters, BA held the Chargers to six points. But after the Chargers added eight more points, the Vikings lost mo- mentum, and Isle of Wight blew the game open. Due to the loss of Tom Temple in a JV game, there was another shuffle of quarterbacks; Tex Whitley emerged to guide the team the remainder of the sea- son. In the Homecoming game, against Nansemond-Suffolk, BA broke its five- game scoreless streak. After Nansemond scored on their first drive. Kevin Black- well lateralled the Saint Kickoff to Billy Tatum, who sprinted 83 yards for the score. At halftime, the team really got “up” for the last half, but after the Saints scored once more, BA was doomed.

Temple, a host of other Viking defenders (Weaver Squire, Clint Clary, Bill Playing Prince Edward was, to put it mildly, unrewarding. BA’s play would have been quite impressive, but against the overpowering Wolverines, there was no comparison to be made. A disastrous season can always be for- given if the finale is a victory, and the Vikings went to Broadwater with the hope of bringing their record to 3-7. The seniors especially wanted to win. These are their comments on the 28-12 loss; Derick Thomas: “We should have won, but we had a lot of bad luck, as usual.” Weaver Squire; “The officials didn’t take control of the game. There was one minor incident . . . after another.” Michael Williams: “Everybody was up for the game . . . but we couldn’t get any- thing going.” Having freed himself of the Kenston tackier, Derick Thomas, recipient of the Sportsmanship Kevin Blackwell: “We played well, but injuries killed us. 1 hope 1 play in college; 1 miss high school football already.” Clint Clary: “Even though the season wasn’t a winning one, all of us were sorry to see it end, expecially the seniors.” Bill Robinson; “At the end of the game, 1 had a bad feeling I’d never play again. Looking back, we may not have had such a good season, but we had a lot of fun.” Wayne Keefe: “We didn’t play too well the first half, but the second half we put out more. We all played well, but had a lot of injuries.” Carl Connell; “If we had gotten into the fight sooner, we would have won. We didn’t have a winning season, but we had a good time and really tried.” No better way is there to summarize Award, inches forward to gain all the ground he can. the ’74 season than by the words of an- other senior, David Seward: “In some ways I am glad this was the end of the football season, for practice is often long and hard. But I shall certainly miss the mutual comradeship that one experiences while playing on a team such as the 1974 BA Vikings.” Who cares what the record was— BA’s Vikings were winners ... at heart, any- way! tlopmg his boys will hold Kenston’s rush.

Hampton Hite grabs an 18-yard pass from Tex Whitley to wrap up a 14-0 victory over Kenston Forest. The 1974 Junior Varsity football team had quite an impressive season. Despite numerous injuries incurred throughout the season, the team finished with a 3-2-1 record, and 3-1-1 in the Western District, where they were champions for the first time in BA history. The year also marked the introduction of a VAAC rule allowing varsity squad members (up to the sopho- mores) to also play on the JV team, and vice-versa. This aided the JV’s immensely, for they gained much-needed leadership from players ordinarily on the varsity squad; but it also demanded 200% from the players, playing two games a week. In the season opener against Mecklen- burg, exceptional Viking defense held the Knights scoreless for three quarters, and allowed only eight points the fourth, while BA racked up 10. The first points of the season were scored on a safety by Kenneth Moody, followed by a 2%-yard plunge by QB Tom Temple, with a two- point conversion by Carroll Moseley. Following the Southampton forfeit, BA faced Huguenot in a close, well- played game. QB Tom Temple ran 36 yards for six points, and the Rebels took the lead with two quick touchdowns. An adamant BA defense held Huguenot scoreless the second half, but the tide had been turned. Tom Temple was injured and hospitalized, and combined with the loss of Rick Lee and Carroll Moseley in earlier varsity games, the younger Vikings just couldn’t put things together, despite the efforts of the new quarterback, versa- tile Tex Wliitley. The boys came within inches of scor- ing at Prince Edward, but went no far- ther. Defense sparkled as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The rivalry with Kenston Forest was a winning incentive for the last home game, as BA commanded play and stymied the Kavaliers. The Vikings chalked up 14 points on a 2-yard TD run by Carroll Moseley, with Mike Thomas scoring the extra points, and an 18-yard pass from QB Tex Wliitley to Hampton Hite, good for six more points. Defense usually high- lighted the games, but the offense looked at its best that night. Eastern champ Isle of Wight robbed BA of the chance to end the season with a bang. Plays collapsed at scrimmage, and so did the team, as they lost by 20 points. Even with the loss, the JV’s ended their season with a winning record, the first since 1970, and a first-place trophy, another first of hopefully many more from the Number ONE coaches and team at BA. Next year’s hopes look even brighter, as the potential shown this year in the younger players promises another big year in 1975. Impeded by a Kenston defender, Rick Lee makes a 35-yard reception from Hampton Hite to keep a BA drive alive.

Below: Straining to go higher than her opponent, Beth Bark- ley tries to tap the jump ball to a teammate. The Lady Vikings began the 1974 sea- son with higlt hopes but only three re- turning players. With an abundance of youth on the team, there were great ex- pectations for a productive year. After a long summer training season, the girls started off in fine form with a romp over Amelia. Kenston handed BA her first loss in a game filled with fouls. A major stumbling block was the fact that, of 57 foul shots attempted, less than half were made. The girls displayed their cool in a 39-38 upset over Huguenot. With three minutes to go, Cathy Frazier tied the score at 33-33, and put BA ahead with another free shot. Field goals by Terry Slaw and Donna Gregory padded the lead, and excellent defense kept the Lady Rebels from scoring at the buzzer. Following a massacre of Rock Hill, the team suffered a defeat by Mecklenburg, as fouls and lack of teamwork hurt them. The girls were back in form at Prince Edward, where fast breaks and all-out team hustle gave BA the victory. Falling apart at Amelia, the Lady Vik- ings suffered an upset loss to the Patriots, as four of the starting five players fouled out. Spirit was back in the air as BA met arch-rival Kenston Forest. Passing and good defensive hustle topped the Lady KavaJiers for the first time in five years. with the help of 34 points from Terry Slaw. After the victory over Kenston, in- juries and poor foul shooting played a decisive role in a loss to Huguenot. The long trip to Rock Hill ended in a slow game. Everyone was losing their en- thusiasm over the long season, but the girls were still easily the victors. This game was unique in that every Lady Vik- ing played and scored. In the closing minutes against confer- ence champ Mecklenburg, “Boo” Clary and Terry Slaw hit the basket for two points each, as BA opened the Lady Knights, 37-33. At home for the season’s last game, the girls played well against Prince Ed- ward, and the game ended in a 52-52 deadlock. But during the overtime, the girls got into foul trouble (four players fouled out), and lost by three heartbreak- ing points. Finishing fourth in the Western Divi- sion, the Eady Vikings traveled to South- ampton for the VAAC Tournament Play- downs. They never put things together, and surprisingly did not give South- ampton a contest. The team had hoped for a better sea- son-but with only three players graduat- ing, plus upcoming JV’s the expectations for 1975 look most encouraging.

The team suffered the loss of the majority of their more experienced players to the var- sity, but with the spirited participation of new players and the few veterans, the girls managed to end the season with a 4-5 record. In the season opener, the long summer practices paid off as the JV’s literally rolled over Amelia. The game with Kenston Forest was the end of the winning streak. Unnecessary turnovers and not enough shooting ended the 34-game win string. The Mecklenburg game was one of the most exciting of the season. Thougli the girls felt they didn’t play their best, they held on for a double-overtime victory. Tension mounted as Lucy Peebles broke the deadlock with a layup, and Claire Dickie padded the lead for a four-point win. At Prince-Edward, teamwork was at its best. The girls knew they would have won, had it not been for untimely turn- overs. The second game with Amelia saw the Patriots score a few points more; never- theless, BA easily ran over them. The Kenston home game was one of the best the team played. Both teams’ pride was on the line, as BA held the lead until the third quarter. Kenston then overtook and contained the JV’s for their second BA defeat. The second meeting with Mecklenburg was a seesaw for the lead. The JV Knights scored first and kept the lead throughout the game. BA’s girls cauglrt up and gained the lead, but lack of alertness and experi- ence again defeated them. The season’s finale with Prince Edward proved to be a game where every second counted. With 50 seconds to go, the JV’s played their hearts out and scored seven straight points to tie the game at 44-44. But with two seconds on the clock. Prince Edward gained possession, and shot as the buzzer rang. The basket was good, and the girls suffered a heartbreak- ing loss to end the season, leaving the team with a 3-5 record, 4-5 with the non-conference victory over Hugnenot. Most of the losses were close, with two being by five points or less. With the spirit and promise shown this year, it is hoped that in ’75 the JV girls will be back on top again . . . where they belong.

The Vikings didn’t fare any better at Huguenot’s Holiday Tournament, losing both niglits. But the team represented BA well in the Viking’s Christmas Tourney, beating Vance Academy and taking sec- ond place after losing to Huguenot’s mighty Rebels. The Prince Edward game was a dis- heartening one. Despite playing well, the team still lost by five points. Traveling to Broadwater, the Vikings became impatient with themselves, as they felt they didn’t play their best game, and should have won easily. BA went to Huguenot hoping to im- prove their play against the overpowering Rebels. But the Rebel defense again held the Vikings, and their offense vigorously trampled the team. The meeting with Kenston Forest was no aid to the Vikings’ sinking spirits, as the Kavaliers handed BA their tenth loss. Fluctuating enthusiasm took a turn for the better against Rock Hill, as the team triumphed over their opponents, 78-57. The second Prince Edward game proved no better than the first. Heated discussions added to the bitterness of the close loss. Viking play against Mecklenburg should have been much better, said the players. Turnovers and broken plays greatly hurt the team, and they just couldn’t make things happen. The Amelia game was absolutely super. Trailing in the first quarter by 13, the Vikings fouglit back, commanding an 8-point lead the third period. Amelia came back and tied the score, and with three seconds left, Billy Tatum sank a foul shot for an 84-83 win. All the Vik- ings played exceptionally good basket- ball. There is not much to be said about the final meeting with Huguenot, except it was a relief to get the massacre over. BA played well against Amelia, and would have won the game, had they not blown several scoring chances during the last minute. Rock Hill proved to be a tougher op- ponent the second time, but the Vikings played tight defense, and won with good outside shooting. As the Varsity finished on a strong note in ’74, this year’s team hoped to improve on their preceding record of 12-11. However, these hopes soon dimin- ished, as the Vikings had an unsuccessful year. Despite the efforts of the boys and Coach Jim Woodruff, BA finished with a record of 5-17, and 4-14 in the VAAC. Turnovers and foul trouble were the culprits in the season’s first official game, as Isle of Wiglit soundly defeated the Vik- ings. Improvement was evident against Nansemond, but the guys hadn’t quite put things together and dropped game number two. Surry gave the Vikings a big lift, as everyone on the squad contributed to the 103-35 triumph. Points 100 and 101 were scored by Canoll Moseley. Opposing Southampton on their court, BA seemed on the way to victory, until the second half. Scoring dropped off, and the team felt they could have exerted more and won. Quoting one BA player, the York game was the “dullest ever played”. Lack of teamwork the second half cost BA the 8-point defeat. The Vikings closed the long ’75 season with an embarrassing loss to Mecklen- burg. Even thougli it was not a productive winning season, much-needed experience was gained by the numerous young players who will make BA powerful in 1976.

Though losing 75% of last year’s squad, the young Vikings had an extremely successful season, attributed to the fine coaching of Mr. Mike Lynch. While compiling a record of 12-6, the boys missed a tournament berth by only one game, and would have made the play- offs, had it not been for a late-season slump. The season began on a low note, as the JVs lost to Isle of Wight. The shakiness had disappeared by the next game, though, with Nansemond-Suffolk. After a slow start, BA poured it on, tied the Saints at 50-50 the last quarter, and went ahead for their first win. Everyone played and scored against Surry, and spirit was as high as the 96-point margin of slaugliter. Charles Finch was credited with scoring the 100th point. Good shooting and exceptional defen- sive hustle contributed another victory to BA’s record, as Southampton also fell victim to the charging Junior Vikings. Tempers were flying, and so were 65 fouls in the Prince Edward contest. Nevertheless, the JVs prevailed for an 1 1 -point triumph. The Vikings were again in foul trouble at Broadwater. As the opposing Vikings came breathing down Brunswick’s necks the remaining five minutes, the visitors pulled ahead by five and held on the rest of the game, extending BA’s winning streak to five games. Huguenot broke BA’s magic spell, win- ning by one heartbreaking point the last 30 seconds. Kenston was out to make it two losses in a row for BA, but they didn’t quite make it. The JV’s had great teamwork; and even thougli Kenston threatened to pull it out in the last few minutes, the team kept cool, and held the Kavaliers for a 3-point victory. The Vikings played a great game ' Jarrowly Miss Championship Berth against Rock Hill. Though falling behind the second half, the team played fine catch-up ball, and came out on top in another close one. Offense and defense were sparkling against Prince Edward. The Wolverines kept the game close the first quarter, but BA broke it open the second period, and never looked back. Mecklenburg was a pushover for the JV’s, as everyone on the team played and scored, with the exception of Ricky Spence, who was injured. Viking play was quite impressive. BA’s visit to Kenston proved to be a disappointment for the team. As the boys came on the floor, they Just couldn’t get things together, and lost by a big 14 points. This loss initiated a 3-game slump suf- fered near the season’s end. Amelia fol- lowed by handing BA its second 77-63 loss in a row, and Huguenot struck with a mighty force, serving the Vikings their third loss. The boys knew they were still a good team, and they proved it against Amelia. High spirits and a return of confidence complemented superior BA play, as the JV’s maintained a slim lead and ended the nightmare with a 4-point win. Nothing went right against Rock Hill, as BA lost their fourth game in five out- ings. The JV’s desperately needed the York game to stay in tourney contention. Said one JV, they played “their best ball all season” the second and fourth quarters. With super offense and defense, BA grabbed a big 1 -point win. Mecklenburg was tougher in the sea- son’s finale. The Vikings finally got a good lead, and were not again threatened. BA missed second place by just one game, and first by two. But ’76 promises to be even better, with added experience and new faces.

Competition - Junior Varsity Boys Basketball - 35 What happened at BA in 1974? The nior Class sponsored a smashing Junior-Se- nior Prom using the theme “Tropical Sa- fari”. In “It’s Great to be Crazy,” the Senior Class demonstrated their acting ability. Graduation brought tears and goodbyes. Summer was not only a vacation but also a time in which the Cheerleaders, Vikettes and several yearbook staff members at- tended clinics. With the opening of school, confusion soon became routine and habit. Clubs went to work, as the SCO sponsored the Home- coming Dance and the first Christmas Ball. The Varsity and JV cheerleaders urged the teams on, and the Vikettes performed for the Viking fans’ enjoyment. The PTO and Athletic Club were busy making money. All in all, it was a year of much involve- ment for BA people.

HflPPEninGs Happenings — 37 Juniors Set Aside Traditional Love Theme, The Junior-Senior Prom is always a special occasion at Brunswick Academy. Everyone in the Junior Class works ex- tremely hard in preparation for this spe- cial night that is given to the Senior Class. But even after this hard work, both ju- niors and seniors relax for an evening of unforgettable memories. The theme of the 1974 Prom, chosen after much debate, was “Tropical Safari”. It was unlike the traditional romantic ones held at Brunswick Academy. The gym was filled with bamboo huts, wild animals, palm trees, and other colorful features to create a tropical atmosphere. Music, provided by “Marsh”, was defi- nitely enjoyed by all. As the band was 30 minutes late in arriving, the “Grand March” for the seniors and their dates was delayed. Although the prom was giv- en for the Senior Class, everyone attend- ing left the gym with many memories that would long hold a special place in their minds and hearts.

They presented “It’s Great to be Cra- zy’’-a superb comedy with Stan Ballance getting a light-hearted version of the gas- light treatment (thought or made to be crazy). He was perfectly suited for his role, as was the rest of the cast. The delivery was excellent and the lines were handled with the greatest of ease.

Awards Recognize Individual Achievements Most formalities were forgotten but emotion was high at the graduation of Brunswick Academy’s seniors in 1974. Several outstanding seniors were recog- nized, but overall it was a night of mutual admiration. The high point was when Mr. T. R. Whitten was recognized and received an outstanding, but a well deserved ovation. In summary— the BA seniors left with a good background and graduated in a manner typical of Brunswick Academy students. This year, as every year at BA certain seniors and other students were recog- nized with awards. These awards repre- sented excellence in such areas of school life as sports, citizenship, and academics. They were presented at different times during the year, some at graduation and others at sports dinners and assemblies.

Happenings — Christmas Ball — 47 Hard Work And Concern Shown By PTO And Athletic Club On November 15, the PTO held its annual Fall Festival. Students had fun participating in the many exciting booths, such as Ring-a-Coke, Burst-The-Balloon, Ping-Pong Toss, and others. The older folks enjoyed the bake sale, auction, cake walk, and chatting with friends. This year’s festival proved very worthwhile fi- nancially for the PTO as they took in over $4,000. The Athletic Club sponsored the three sports dinners to recognize team and squad members. The Fall dinner was held in honor of the football teams and the girls’ basketball teams. The Winter dinner recognized the boys’ basketball teams, majorettes, and cheerleaders. The softball and baseball teams were honored at the Spring dinner. Coaches had opportunities at each dinner to award trophies to out- standing players and recognize individual and team efforts.

Smiles, enthusiasm, and pep - little do people realize that that’s not all there is to a BA cheerleader. Besides staying after school creating new and perfecting old skills, there was the agony of giving up many summer evenings to practice, prac- tice, practice. This summer all ten varsity cheerlead- ers attended the Golden Eagle Cheerlead- ing School Representing BA, the girls won several ribbons for cheering excel- lence. Also awarded to the squad was a Spirit Stick, symbolizing outstanding pep, I spirit, and enthusiasm. The girls were given new ideas for boosting school and team spirit, especial- ly on game days. Besides putting skits on at pep rallies, the squads made spirit bags filled with candy. These were a favorite among the players, especially the “ginger- bread players.” Student participation was an impor- tant factor in the life of a cheerleader. During times when school and team spirit were low, cheerleaders needed the pa- tience to work to build up the enthusiasm of the crowd and players. Wliatever the outcome was, BA’s cheerleaders were always standing by to praise the victorious or comfort the de- feated. Thougli their job seemed some- times unimportant, the girls were always striving to improve the attitude of the fans and the teams — and that was a Big Job!

Happenings — Varsity Cheerleaders — 51 Cheerleaders Boost Spirit With Pep Rallies BA’s students opened the year with an unusual amount of spirit which they hoped wouldn’t die, but would live for many years to come. Varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders used their many pep rallies as a liaison between the athletic teams and the student body. The squads used various means in order to draw some “pep” from their audiences. Perhaps the best remembered was an amusing satirical skit poking fun at the lack of spirit and support from the student body. It proved successful in drawing enthusiasm and spirit from the somewhat apathetic spectators. In the past such adjectives as “boring” and “useless” have been used in describ- ing BA’s pep rallies, but these came to be replaced with ones such as “spirited”, “exciting”, and “WILD!” Upper left: Showing her spirit, Lynn Bennett jump.

Below Right: JV cheerleaders yell along with the varsity. Lots of time and effort were put out ‘ by the JV cheerleaders this year, trying to improve low school spirit. They spent many hours practicing during the sum- mer, and they also attended camp at Ferrum College. All of them enjoyed the trip, although most of each day was spent learning cheers, new pom-pom routines, and stunts. Each night BA’s squad, along with other squads, competed for ribbons b y executing their cheers. On their return to BA, they brought with them one green ribbon for honorable mention and two red ribbons for excellence. This year the JV cheerleaders went further than making signs to hang in the gym for the JV football games. They I made a special effort to give each JV j player a spirit bag on the day of a game. For the football players it was usually full of candy; the basketball players received an orange and other goodies. The JV cheerleaders helped the varsity plan pep rallies, trying to increase support for the BA teams, but these pep rallies did not always have the effect the cheer- leaders wished them to. The JV cheerleaders faced one prob- i lem — the lack of support at JV games by BA fans. Although the turnout of fans j was usually small, the JV cheerleaders I continued giving it all they had and caring i about the team efforts.

Happenings - JV Cheerleaders - 53 Vikettes Display Finesse, Entertain at BA Games Carefully twirling fire batons, Margaret Poarch, Becky Blake, and Sandra Wright perform during halftime against Prince Edward. Falling batons, bruised elbows, and confusion over new routines were never seen by the BA audiences. These were all behind-the-scenes preparations for the superior performances the Vikettes gave at BA’s games this year. Practice began in the summer, when eight of the girls attended the National Majorette Camp. There the squad won two honorable mentions and one out- standing ribbon for twirling excellence. Next came the many practices after school, first in sweltering heat, then in icy cold weather, learning new routines, and polishing up on old ones. The result of those diligent practices was the entertainment at halftime of all the JV and varsity football home games. plus a guest appearance at Mecklenburg. The girls also twirled for all home boys’ basketball games, and some of the girls’ games. Added attractions at the football games included the fire performances by the older girls, and the special ’50’s routine at the Homecoming game. For vari ety at basketball contests, the older Vikettes sometimes performed with lighted batons, and the younger major- ettes performed their own routines. The Vikettes made a vast improvement this year in their skills. All the perfor- mances provided enjoyable breaks from the games, and their efforts paid off many times over with their meritorious performances, greatly appreciated and remembered by all at BA.

Above: With his camera in position Marshall Harris prepares to snap a picture for the yearbook. The setup of Viking 1975 was differ- ent from any previous yearbook at BA. The sponsors, Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy, started planning in April 1974 and assign- ing positions. Cathy Lee Moore was cho- sen to fill the position of Editor-In-Chief. Immediately she went to work, reading materials and making plans for Viking 1975. While everyone else was having fun during the summer vacation several of the staff members attended a yearbook work- shop held at Longwood College, spon- sored by Max Ward — Delmar Company. Attending for three days, Angela Clary, Rachel Smith, Cathy Lee Moore and Mr. Blick heard various specialists on year- booking and learned many fundamentals which later proved helpful during their hard work. Also, several planning sessions were held during the summer. At one of these meetings Delmar’s representative, Jeff Overby, came to talk with section editors concerning the cover and several specifications. With the opening of school, life began to become hectic. Faced with the first deadline on December 1, Mr. Blick im- mediately went to work with the photo- graphers so that they could capture the happenings of BA on film. Consisting of really two staffs, the People Staff and the Events Staff, produc- tion soon began to move slowly but surely along. Lower school editor Pat Norwood, middle school editor Rachel Smith and upper school editor Becky Wrenn strug- gled, after working over the Thanksgiving holiday, to meet their deadline. After receiving a very complimentary letter from the printers, the People Staff felt proud of their hard work. The Events staff with Angela Clary in charge of all of the activities, Gail Clary as the sports captain and Bonnie Taylor as studies editor strove for their deadline on January 15. For every activity or sports event which took place at BA in 1974-1975 a mimeographed information sheet was filled out either by the section editor or the staff members under her. It asked various questions concerning that particu- lar subject so that it would be easier for members to later write about that activity or sports event. There was a staff member covering everything which happened, giv- ing first hand coverage for the yearbook staff. 56 — Happenings Yearbook Staff ' From Editor, Sponsors; Improves Book The major purpose of the yearbook staff was to cover the year as it happened or to tell it like it was at BA. The staff tried to achieve this through not only pictures but also writing, which has been added noticeably throughout the book. After the section editors had compiled all of their material, there was always something which needed to be typed before sending to the printers. Typing editors Cindy Moore and Wanda Willis were always there with their fingers on the keyboard. Another addition to Viking 1975 was the index, which added greatly to the book. As index editor, Melissa Hines did an excellent job of organizing the index I to give a listing of students, teachers, events, sports, and anything else appear- ' ing in the book. With the economic situation of the country at the present time, the editor, sponsors and staff members wondered what the success of ad sales would be. Business manager Gail Nolen headed the sales campaign. Results far exceeded those of the previous year. This enabled the production of a better book. After receiving first place in AVA competition for Viking 1973 and second place from Columbia Scholastic press as- sociation for Viking 1974, the staff tried even harder to keep up the standing in AVA competition and if possible to take first place from Columbia. The editor this year took great pride in meeting all of the deadlines, which had been a problem in recent years. In Cat- hy’s words, “If you don’t meet your deadlines then there is no assurance when your book will be delivered, and no one enjoys getting a yearbook one or two days before leaving for summer vaca- tion.” Through this publication the staff gained much knowledge and learned from their mistakes. The faults that Viking 1975 has should be corrected next year ; to produce an even better book. Lower Left: After a day in the darkroom, Mr. Creasy diagram.

In mid-March, the club enjoyed that trip. They were proud to present Virginia Walker as their candidate for Beta state vice-president. The Beta induction ceremony was held at the beginning of the school year. Several new members were brought into this excellent school organization. Another excellent organization is the Brunswick Academy Student Council (SCO) which seems to do more for BA each year. The Christmas Ball was held with unbelievable success on the day following Christmas. The council also was actively involved in campaigns to keep the appearance of our school presentable. Under the leadership of Anne Prince, it has done a great deal for BA, and certainly shall continue to in the upcom- ing years.

Happenings — SCO and Beta-Athena — 59 Assemblies Provide Education And Fun September brouglit with it the first day of school, which began traditionally with an early morning assembly spon- sored by the SCO. Students were wel- comed back (after a short summer) by Mr. Nolen, Mr. Rishel, and officers of the SCO. Old friendships were renewed and new ones initiated with the introduction of new teachers and coaches. School spirit ran high as BA’s annual magazine drive was kicked off in late October. A visit by a QSP representative instilled a sense of class pride and compe- tition within each student. Also in October, four new members were inducted into the Beta Club-Athena Society. These honor students were tapped into the organization by old mem- bers during a meaningful candlelight cere- mony. The girls BACO opened the busy month of November with a meaningful chapel assembly aimed at creating a more Christian-like attitude on campus. Led by BACO officers, the program dealt with the purposes and meaning of the organi- zation. A feeling of excitement and interest permeated the gym at the Fall awards assembly during which members of the football squads and girls basketball squads were rewarded for their achieve- ments. After receiving a letter, emblem, or bar, each individual team member was acknowledged for his efforts by his or her coach. BA’s first Southeastern Schools As- sembly program of the year proved to be different, yet interesting, as students learned of the gyroscope. Through a series of demonstrations the importance and necessity of this unique instrument was pointed out. A Thanksgiving chapel, sponsored by the SCO and Choral Club, was presented before school was dismissed for the holi- day. After several selections by the musi- cal group. Rev. Robert Creamer rendered an appropriate message on the meaning of Thanksgiving. As the busy month of December rolled in, so did anticipation of the Christmas holidays. The final day of school was closed with the annual White Christmas assembly, sponsored by the BACO’s. As an anomaly, members of this organization presented an original play entit led “A Peanuts’ Christmas” which was immense- ly enjoyed by all. BA’s Choral Club presented several selections, followed by a group carol sing. 1975 was kicked off with a chapel assembly sponsored by the SCO in mid- January. A fictitious story was read. It emphasized the importance of possessing such qualities as honesty and integrity, especially in the waning days before exams.

Clubs Present Fifties Day, Monogram Initiation, Choral The highlight of the Monogram Club was the yearly initiation of new members into the club. The boys being initiated wore skirts, a hat, and mis-matched socks and shoes. The girls wore baggy pants, shirts buttoned up the back, and sixteen braids in their hair. Members of the club gave orders, such as pushing drink bottles down the hall with your nose, to those being initiated. All participants had a great deal of fun, and one being initiated remarked, “Even though there was a lot of agony at first, it was fun and worth it in the end.” On October 31, the Library Club sponsored a “Fifties Day”. Students paid 50( and dressed in the style of the fifties. Those who dressed up practiced dancing at break, lunch, and other free time, so as to be ready for the hop, held sixth period in the gym. The “Bunny Hop” proved to be the most popular dance. Susan Brickell and Rick Lee won the couples’ dance contest and Peggy Futrelle and Anne Prince won the girls’ contest. Even those who did not dress up enjoyed the day as they watched the others. The day was a tremendous success and a lot more fun than had been expected. On October 25, the Choral Club spon- sored a workshop, which was held in the music room. Dr. James McCray, Music Director at Longwood College, instructed members of the Chorus and other invited students. Dr. McCray taught some of the finer points of singing and several exer- cises, which should be done each day. Everyone involved agreed that the work- shop was exciting, enjoyable, and well worth their time.

The win followed months of hard work and preparation by many dedicated students in such fields as girls and boys oratory, creative writing, art and debate. Members of the debate team were elated over their well deserved first place finish which was the result of victories over two other outstanding teams. BA should be proud of these many accomplishments by her students which demonstrate the academic excellence of our academy. As a result of fine debating, the BA debate team traveled to Collegiate School during November. There they competed with other teams from throughout the state.

Happenings — Forensics — 63 The most decisive factor which changed at BA in 1974 was the addition of 1 1 new teachers and a new assistant headmaster. This was the first year Spanish III was offered and the last for Latin II. The Acade- my couldn’t afford three foreign languages, therefore plans were made to strengthen Spanish and French. Fine Arts has taken a giant step forward at BA. With the departure of Miss Biggs, Mrs. Jean Harrell joined the group to direct with Mrs. Lee Warren as accompanist. The high- light for art students was transforming the art room into Santa’s Workshop. English, Math, and Science, were especial- ly helpful to college-bound students. Physical Education gave students a chance to improve their bodies while voca- tional students gained preparation for jobs. 64 - Studies Upper Left: With her front view completed, Donna Crogory visual- izes the tup and right side views of the cap of a pillar block in a detail drawing.

Gaining understanding and reasoning of the real numbers system was the main objective of the math department this year. Pre-algebra strove to increase effici- ency in operations with the set of real numbers. With Algebra I came the basic struc- ture of the number system and the teach- ing of the techniques and application of algebraic concepts and skills. The main idea taken in geometry was the development in each student of the ability to reason. Emphasis was placed on expanding geometric principles learned in preceding courses. Algebra II reviewed and strengthened the understanding of basic algebra, in ad- dition to teaching techniques and meth- ods which will help those taking higher math. The advanced math course covered the basic trigonometry and analysis of func- tions to prepare students for college math.

Top above: An inclined plane is used by Gail Nolen, Clint Clary, and Derick Thomas in a coefficient of friction experiment. Science 8 and 9 strive to prepare students in the chemical field for every- day life or high school chemistry. Meeting the demands of our society and preventing our future citizens from becoming scientifically illiterate is the goal of the biology department. Stu- dents are introduced to such laboratory equipment as microscopes, glass slides, and many microscopic specimens. The Chemistry department prepares the student for the physical world of life. The second semester teaches about physics, motion, heat and energy, and tries to give students a background for the next course, physics. Back and forth swings the pendulum as the physics students watch intently. They have been studying Newton’s Law of Gravitation and are now determining the local acceleration due to gravity. The physics class has been intently engaged in the discovery of the prin- ciples of matter and energy and how they are related. Many find this simple yet intricate relationship a fascinating experience to be involved in. After a background of theory has been gained, the students construct ex- periments to reinforce their understand- ing and discover new possibilities. Some students hope that through their efforts they may see a glimpse of the laws of nature. All hope they will be better able to meet the demands of college science programs.

Right: Mr. Nickerson sur- veys the halls after classes and obviously finds something interesting. From book reports to term papers, the English department plays a vital role in the curriculum at BA. Students in grades 8 and 9 are introduced to practical courses in grammar while grades 9 through 12 concentrate mainly on litera- ture. Teachers dwell in exercises in gram- mar, reading and comprehension, and the development of the student’s vocabulary. Creative writing is exercised in each class so that each student may learn to better express himself. The acting ability of each student is displayed as students produce their own plays. Those wishing to extend their know- ledge in English are offered an Advanced English course. At the beginning of the year this class read a well-known novel, Siddharrtha by Herman Hesse. The rest of the year each student strove to find his own “atman” or innermost self as did the main character of the book. As the year continued the reading of stories and im- promptu speeches extended the literary knowledge of each student in the class. The aim of the English department as a whole was to develop the culture of each student so that he will live a more civilized life whether he goes to college or on to the business world after high school.

The foreign language department this year experienced many changes from the adoption of new textbooks to the offer- ing of a third year of Spanish. The Spanish I class learned the basic grammar of the Spanish language. Spanish 11 dealt mainly with speaking and listen- ing in Spanish. The Spanish class had the privilege of having guest speakers such as Mrs. Isabel Caceres, a native of the Hon- duras, to speak to them on the Spanish customs. The main objective of the French de- partment this year was to get the students more interested in the French language and the people from which it originates. The year was highlighted by trips to Rich- mond to visit such restaurants as “The Rendez-vous.” A change in the textbooks has created more interest among the stu- dents toward this language. The acting ability of the students was revealed through various French skits where they portrayed their favorite French people, especially Mrs. Warren, “le professeur,” portrayed by Peggy Futrelle. Everyone has heard that Latin is a dead language. This proved true at Bruns- wick Academy in 1974-75. Latin 1 slowly passed away this year and Latin 11 will be buried along with it next year. Mrs. Betsy Clarke, the Latin teacher, is trying to make the best of the final days by creat- ing an awareness of Roman life and litera- ture among the students. The Latin ban- quet was the climax of the year as the students served the faculty and guests some of the most exotic Roman Food. “El professor de Espanol,” Senor Lynch, walks down the hall after another exciting day.

Brunswick Academy’s social studies program offers something for everyone, whether he be in the eiglith grade or in the twelfth. The pre-freshmen begin their higli school days with a study of the history of the world from the be- ginning of time to the modern world. The class studies the ancient and medi- eval civilizations and tries to find ways that these people relate to the people in the world today. The World Geography classes study the physical aspects of va- rious countries and learn of their inter- dependence in trade and commerce. The recently adopted civics class prepares students to be active citizens in their community and nation. The juniors begin to finish their high school days with a study of United States History. After this course each student realized that history, the story of mankind, not only plays a vital role in man’s past, but also his future. Gov- ernment, offered to seniors, is the last but certainly not the least important of the social studies classes. The course emphasizes the important role of local, state, and federal governments in our lives today. Througli research papers, debates and current events, the class combines study of the formation of the governmental sy stem with current polit- ical issues. 70 — Studies — Social Studies Physical Education Builds Strong Minds, Bodies Golf, badminton, volleyball, ping-pong, baseball, football, and basketball highlighted the students’ activities in the Physical Educa- tion department this year. Students were also introduced to certain stunts and exer- cises on the tumbling mats. Three years of PE are required for gradua- tion at BA. Separate classes for boys and girls are offered to students in grades 8-10. Besides spending a certain number of hours on the athletic field and in the gym, a cer- tain amount of time must also be spend in the classroom. The pre-freshmen study a basic health course in the classroom, while the freshmen take Driver’s Education. This year the stu- dents studied in depth the parts and systems of the automobile and made various reports concerning this. This course prepares the stu- dent for the behind-the-wheel course offered to them after they get their learner’s permit. First Aid is offered to the tenth graders. Besides textbooks, films such as those on alcoholism, safe driving, and first aid were used to teach the courses.

What does the office of The Director of Student Services contribute to the day- to-day life of any student? For some it is just the place to go if you want to leave school early or come in late. For others, the director is the person to see if you are in doubt as to your program of studies for the coming year, or want to change your schedule or drop a subject. Visiting the office is a must for the seniors who plan to go to college or to pursue a career which does not call for a college degree. For juniors and seniors, registration for standardized tests. College Boards, and the results of these are discussed here. All student records from grades eight through twelve are kept in the office and all student activities scheduled during the day must be approved by the Director of Student Services. The duties of the office are many, but the students involved do not make up a majority of Upper School students. Mrs. Jesse Wood, director, states, “There is little time left for counseling with students unless the problem lies in one of the areas above. We consider this a disservice to those who have other needs. “Our aim for 1975 is to reach, if pos- sible, the student who manages fairly well on his own, but with some guidance and encouragement would have a good chance to excel academically as well as to devel- op a quality of citizenship which would enable him to take his rightful place in society. “A more important aim perhaps is to help each student develop a strong sense of responsibility as a human being grow- ing up in a very complex society.” With the commercial world becoming more demanding, the practical courses in typing, bookkeeping, and general business provide BA students with a good founda- tion for careers in the business world. A well-rounded knowledge of prepar- ing budgets and other personal affairs are attained through the General Business course. The Bookkeeping class offers an advanced study of bookkeeping practices for private and business records. The busi- ness economics offered to students in grades 9-12 makes students aware of monetary issues that they will be meeting in the future. The Gregg Shorthand courses develop the skills of taking and transcribing shorthand. This enables the student to become a more efficient sec- retary. The drafting students have been active- ly engaged in converting the images they see with their eyes into lines and circles on paper. First year students have been learning the use of instruments, line theory, and how to “see” an object. They have found their new text to be both fascinating and frustratint. Students in their second year are pre- paring to undertake the design and draw- ing of a major project. They have been drafting sections, revolutions, threads and working drawings. All of these and many others will be used on their projects. When they have finished their year or years in drafting, each student will, they hope, have developed patterns of neat- ness, accuracy, and the ability to “see.” Vocational Classes Prepare Students For Jobs, Higher Education Left: Draftsmen Dean Daniel and Wayne Keefe work on a re- volved view.

Studies - Vocational — 73 BA’s fine arts department, consisting of both art and music sections, contri- buted to the cultural and creative sides of Brunswick Academy students this year. Even though there was a change of teachers, the music department prospered this year more than ever. The choral club showed their talents at various school functions such as chapel assemblies and the PTO Christmas program. They also sponsored a “Choral Workshop” for a limited number of BA students and guests. Dr. James McCray, chairman of the Department of Music at Longwood College, offered excellent training in sing- ing techniques which included active par- ticipation by everyone present. Mrs. Jean Harrell, the music teacher, found pleasure in teaching music by showing the students that learning music can be fun. The application of fine arts and crafts in everyday life was taught this year in the art department. Christmas time was a time of creativity as the art room was transformed into Santa’s Workshop. As they entered the room, everyone was greeted by Santa Claus, as they hoped to see their name on his “good” list. When the art student entered the door in September, his ability to draw may have been limited, but when he walked oqt in June his creative growth definitely had been stimulated.

Studies — Fine Arts — 75 Administration, faculty, and students worked together to make BA a better place of learning. With the administration actively supporting the teachers, and the teachers taking a .special interest in the students, all became involved to produce the highest level of education. Besides teachers working with students, the students themselves made life at BA a pleasure by respecting one another and operating by the rules set by the Boaril. Often faculty members heard cmnplaints Iroiii students concerning homework and tests. Due to the many extracurricular activ- ities. at time.s tt seemed almost impossible to camiplcte the assignments but in the end the students pulled through. ■Since a school consists trf not buildings but people. 1974-75 became unique loi BA 111 Icims ol Its people and theii mvolvment. 76 - BA Peiipic ■ i XV- t � tUU ' « ’ % ' f i “-J«.‘t!!-f Upper Left: BA’s art teacher.

Administrators Nolen And Rishel Note Academy’s Improved Spirit, Courteous Attitude In Viewing 1974-75 Executive Committee, Headmaster, Assistant Brunswick Academy’s administration of- fers two different viewpoints from which to view the school’s status in the year 1974-75. Headmaster Hugh P. Nolen can evaluate the school on the basis of its progress during the four years in which he has been headmaster, while assistant headmaster M. O. Rishel takes note of what he has discovered about the academy during this, his first year of association with it. Perhaps most obvious to those who have been associated with BA prior to this year are the physical changes. Eleven new teach- ers joined the staff this year, replacing those who chose to retire or go elsewhere. The receding economy forced many families to forego the advantages of private education, and the BA enrollment dropped to 660 from last year’s 735 in grades K - 12. Despite the economic situation, improve- ments came about. A gift from the class of 1974 provided both remodeling of and ad- ditional equipment for the lab to better serve students. Installation of cement steps on the hill behind the gym aided the climb to the football field. Judicious application of cement also aided the flow of pedestrain traffic during the school day as the Fresh- man class donated money for a sidewalk between the upper school building and the gym. In addition to the physical changes cited above, Mr. Nolen noted some less tangible improvements, saying, “1 think that the Stu- dent Council Organization is beginning to play a more important role in the lives of students, teachers, and administration.” He went on to note that the Middle School Forensics Team, which began three years ago, and the Upper School Forensics Team, which has participated only two years, have impressed him greatly. Mr. Nolen also sin- gled out improved spirit and sportsmanship and added, “1 am not the only one who has noticed this. Many fine compliments have been paid to the teams, fans, and cheer- leaders by opposing teams. Not only in sports have we been commended, but the business community tells us that they can tell the difference in the students who at- tend our school from students who attend elsewhere.” Mr. Rishel, in his new position of assis- tant headmaster, tried to ease Mr. Nolen’s job by handling any problems that he could. His main responsibility was the discipline, through which he attempted not to punish students, but to help them and their teachers along the way. As head of physical edu- cation for grades five, six, and seven, he worked to give at least 30 minutes of exer- cises and games each day when weather permitted. Mr. Rishel came to the academy with experience gained in the Navy service and in positions of business manager, principal, and superintendent of various schools. He stated that his first impression of BA — that of a kind, friendly, and courteous attitude of students, faculty, and administration— had proved valid. He summarized his evaluation by commenting, “I have enjoyed working at BA more than any other school and it has been a most rewarding experience.” Left: With much concentration, Mr. Rishel counts money at the PTO I- all l estival held November 15.

Hawthorne: Grade Two Brunswick Academy’s faculty has been formed from people of diverse backgrounds, personalities, and interests. Many members are natives of the Brunswick - Greensville county area, while others have only come into the area since joining the academy staff. A common characteristic of all faculty members at BA is involvement, both in the classroom and outside, in BA events. The fact that a small number of teachers is re- sponsible for a large number of activities brings changes. Class sponsors become magazine sales and candy sales coordinators. Club sponsors be- come concession stand vendors at basketball games. Teachers who spend five periods a day instructing students in the fine points of health, Spanish, or social studies find them- selves after school teaching the fine points of a fast break or the forward pass. Then, there are always lesson plans, tests to grade, grades to average, and after school periods to help students. These join with five classes to fill the BA teacher’s life.

People - Faculty — 83 Strong Leadership Guides As activities for the senior class got un- derway on September 20, 1974, Mr. Wil- liam Nickerson and Mrs. Betsy Clarke help- ed seniors plan for the coming year. The first order of business was election of offi- cers. Becky Wrenn, Weaver Squire, Nancy Ferguson, Melissa Hines, Clint Clary, Sheree Harrell, Denise Williams and Bill Robinson were chosen president, vice- president, corresponding secretary, record- ing secretary, treasurer, reporter, historian and sergeant-at-arms respectively. At the same time, four Homecoming attendants, Donna Harrell, Gail Nolen, Anne Prince and Bonnie Taylor were selec- ted to serve on the court. When the votes were counted, two of our attendants had unexpectedly tied for Homecoming Queen. Anne Prince and Gail Nolen were crowned at halftime and Bonnie Taylor, maid of honor was given her bouquet of roses. The seniors also chose four Miss BA contes- tants. They were; Becky Blake, Nancy Ferguson, Cathy Moore and Gail Nolen. Bringing honor to the senior class, Gail won the title of Miss BA. The Seniors’ main objective was, in the words of the class members, “to have a good trip!” With a trip to Disneyworld in mind, the seniors started working toward their goal by selling fruitcakes, light bulbs and mums. They knew it was a big job to try and send 59 seniors to Florida, but they thought it was worth it! The seniors, with Mr. Nickerson in charge, started planning in November for the Senior Play in the spring. The money from the play and various other projects during the year finally helped turn the dream of the trip into a reality. The seniors also enjoyed the Junior- Senior Prom, which was planned especially for them by the junior class. Realizing the prom was their last big dance at BA, many of the seniors thouglit ahead to class night and graduation. June 4, 1975 marked the end of 12 years of school. The seniors left behind many memories. Some were good and some were bad — but they’ll never forget the years they spent at Brunswick Acad- emy. For the seniors, it was the time to go forward, to discover their place in a larger world and to continue to discover them- selves. Hail and farewell to the class of nineteen hundred and seventy-five.

Upper BA — Seniors — 89 Mike Wright Leads Juniors For Second Straight Year One of the big ordeals that most ju- niors look forward to is the ordering of their class rings. From all sizes and shapes, colors and designs, in years to come, they can look into their high school days and capture many memories. One of the most impressive assemblies of each year is the tapping ceremony in which current Beta members go into the audience and bring forward juniors and seniors who have achieved a 3.5 academic average necessary for membership. At this year’s assembly, there were four out- standing juniors tapped to join the club. One of the highlights of each spring is the Junior-Senior Prom. The juniors, even though they have to do all of the work, look forward to prom night just as much as the seniors do. Througli many class projects, they are able to earn enough money to present a delightful evening. Junior class officers are; Pat Norwood, vice- president; Michele Lawford, reporter; Libby Cole- president; Virginia Walker, treasurer; Mike Wright, man, secretary. 1 Sharon Arrington Beth Barkley Ricky Brewer Larry Callaway Angela Clary Susan Cross Betsy Brockwell darner Chandler Libby Coleman Mack Daniel 90 - Upper BA - Juniors Wesley Fitchett Roland Guerrero Glenn Johnson Jennifer Jones Michael Lawford Cathy Frazier Bobby Hall Bernie Jones Kathy Kelly Teresa Malone Nan Rae Futrelle Robin Harris Debbie Jones Elvin Lafoon Faye Mangum Michael Gibbs Ricky Horne Howard Jones James Lancaster Carter Martin Susan GiUey Terri Howerton Janice Jones Michele Lawford Clements Mayes Upper BA - Juniors - 91 Juniors Plan Best Prom Ever Robert Milam Pat Norwood Martha Prince Charles Steed Donnie Thomas Myles Moore Debra Painter Christine Roberts Billy Tatum Sammy Thomas Tom Moore George Parson Terry Slaw Trent Tatum Benjamin Waller Walter Moseley Linda Perkins Becky Smith Wanda Taylor Virginia Walker 92 — Upper liA - Juniors Everyone had a good time at BA’s Homecoming dance including Beth Barkley.

Upper BA — Juniors — 93 Diversification The sophomore class had many vary- ing interests. Several of the girls played basketball, while some of the more coura- geous boys played football and later bas- ketball. Many sophomores helped out by cheering for BA teams, and some of the girls were cheerleaders. In the spring, the sophomores participated in softball and baseball. All sophomore students took English, and once in a while they enjoyed putting on skits and playing Password to help increase their vocabularies. Many of the sophomores took geometry and were struggling with the mechanics of proofs. Biology classes used the lab advan- tageously, for it was renovated. They be- gan working on flies and were soon dis- secting frogs. The sophomores all took physical education and most commented “Thank goodness!” that this was their last year of physical ed. Students inter- ested in a business career took drafting, business economics or typing. In the liberal arts area, some students were planning trips to complement their studies. A few talented tenth graders par- ticipated in the Spring Forensics Meet. The art students planned and worked on Christmas Scenes including a larger-than- life papier mache Santa Claus. The tenth graders had an active and enthusiastic class, but not necessarily about school. Outside interests included music, dancing, hunting, church activities and others. Most of the sophomores haven’t given too much thought to what they want to do the rest of their lives— but they’ve got all the time in the world.

With Hank Harrell and Hampton Hite, as the two leading class officers and Mrs. Ola Jones and Mrs. Frances Hare as sponsors, a successful fund-raising campaign was the highlight of the year. Aithougli Hank and Hampton were not always leading the class, amongst the school work, the athletic and social activities, the class managed to raise enough money, by selling candy, for greatly needed sidewalks and an improved life at BA.

A person enters as a timid fifth grader and emerges as a sometimes overconfident eighth grader. Junior varsity sports, cheerleading, major- ettes, and other extracurricular activities force the student to decide just how in- volved in Brunswick Academy’s life he wants to become. Seventh graders reach the top rung in BA’s green building, while eighth graders share buildings, teachers, and classes with BA upper school students. Outside activities aren’t ail that increase. Stacks of books get heavier; homework as- signments get longer; and tests get harder. Students complain, little realizing that this is but preparation for the work and involve- ment that lie ahead in upper school. 100 - Middle BA Upper left: One must exert maximum concentration if he is to be a successlut stu- dent.

Cindy Vincent Becomes Junior Miss BA For 1975 The eleventh annual Junior Miss Brunswick Academy Beauty Pageant, sponsored by the junior class, began on November eighth at seven-thirty in the Brunswick Academy gymnasium. Rich Clary, the master of ceremonies, suceeded in calming the contestants with encouraging glances. The tension rose when the semi-fmalists were named. Then came what everyone had been waiting for. The finalists were announced. The winners were Cindy Vincent, escorted by Chuck Gregory, Junior Miss BA; Wanda Kidd, escorted by Allen Meade Blackwell, first runner-up, and Becky Wright, es- corted by Heath Lucy, second runner-up. All in all the entire evening was a suc- cess. Cindy Vincent is a smiling Junior Miss BA. Winner Cindy Vincent, center, and runners-up Becky Wright and Wanda Kidd bask in the glory of being chosen as winners in the contest. 102 - Middle BA — Junior Miss BA Language Arts Program Promotes Proper Use Of English A student’s question causes Mrs. Steed to pause before continuing with her lesson. Books offer students opportunities to transport themselves far beyond their everyday surroundings to realms of adventure, mystery, suspense, and intrigue. The Bungalow Mystery and Basil of Baker Street are but a few of the interesting titles. The Language Arts program in the middle school is a coordination of En- glish, reading, and spelling. Students strive to increase their knowl- edge of the English language and expand on its proper usage. Each course is dependent on the others as teachers and students together try to weave one web toward functional intelligence. Our children are our nation’s most precious natural resources. Through Lan- guage Arts they try to better prepare them for a society that makes many de- mands. Reading is encouraged at home as well as at school by both teachers and parents. Students’ art work forms an interesting collection of “Whatchamacallits.” Middle BA - Language Arts - 103 A student’s question occupies Mrs. Newsom while Doug Hite steals a glance at the photographer. Mathematics, Science Provide Brunswick Academy’s middle school mathematics program builds on the foundations laid by the primary grades. The purpose of this program is to provide the understanding of the mathematical concepts and to develop adequate skill in using these concepts. Such concepts are: place value, reasoning, esti- mation, geometry, computing, number theory, rational numbers, fractions and decimals. In order to reach these objectives, teachers strive to make mathematics an exciting and stimulating experience for students. An answer appears to be forthcoming as Mrs. Denise Nash prepares to answer one of the many questions put to her during a busy BA day. Upper Right: Hunter Harris sneaks a snack while Cathy Wood looks around just in time to see that the event has been captured on film for posterity and the VIKING.

Meanwhile, others in the row seem oblivious to the humor as they turn their attention elsewhere. 104 — Middle BA — Mathematics Challenges For Middle Schoolers Amusing comments from students sometimes brighten a teacher’s day, as Mrs. Milam finds out here. Ignoring all that goes on around him and concen- dent finds that rewards are obtained from science trating on the problem at hand, a typical BA stu- only when he invests his best effort. The science department of Brunswick Academy’s middle school reaches for many goals during the school year 1974 - 75 . One of these is to develop an aware- ness of the environment and its impor- tance to everyday life. In addition, stu- dents seek to understand the scientific principles that concern the natural and physical world. They not only learn the facts, but learn how to apply them. Teachers work to develop in students the habit of careful and accurate obser- vation and the tendency to base judge- ments and opinions on carefully con- sidered facts and scientifically gathered evidence. A third goal, which is one shared with the mathematics department, is forma- tion of the ability to solve problems in a careful, planned, systematic way. Last, but far from least, teachers de- vote their time and efforts to creating an interest in, and an appreciation of, the many scientific contributions to man’s way of life.

Classroom instruction is also a part of physical ed- ucation and these stu- dents listen carefully to get as much as possible from it. 106 - Middle llA - Pli This year grades 5, 6, and 7 have a non-discriminatory physical education program. The 170 students comprising those grades are divided into seventeen teams. The teams are a mixture of boys and girls from each grade. During the fine weather the teams played round-robin tournaments in touch football, basket- ball, softball, volleyball, tug-of-war, and soccer. During cold, wet weather classes are held indoors, instruction in square dancing, marching rhythm, wrestling, tumbling, etc., takes place. Team captains were chosen and each group chose a team name. The teams and their captains are: TEAMS CAPTAINS Dolphins Kim Clary, Wirt Blackwell Mustangs Allen Brockwell Raiders Steve Mitchell Cowboys Doug Hite, Parker Harrell Lions Wanda Kidd Tigers Daryl Clary, Jeff Crewe Streakers Ricky Watson, Allen Blackwell Cougars Jim Glenn, Dale Barker Bombers Barry Thomas, Kent Wright Vikings Wendy Wright, Lee House Social Studies Teaches Students About Other Lands Above: Mid-morning break offers everyone a a relaxed pose Doug Hite waits for his picture to be chance to munch his favorite snack. Right: Striking taken. A moment of calmness as the students read and Mrs. Grizzard ponders an important point. Social Studies teaches the students the responsibilities of American citizenship and to appreciate our American heritage. They provide an aquaintance with the world with emphasis on its geography, resources, and the people. The students are tauglit to understand our Virginia heritage and to be proud of it. They learn its geography, resources, and the role it played in the growth of the nation. Middle BA - Social Studies — 107 Fresh Ideas Confront Pre-Freshmen Class officers were: secretary Cheryl Cheely, president Jeff Harrell, vice-president Lucy Peebles, treasurer Donna Seward and reporter Jeff Stone. At the beauty contest on November 8, 1974, Cindy Vincent was crowned Jr. Miss Bruns- wick Academy. The eiglith grade class was continu- ously changing and progressing. This year was their first year in the high school building, and they adapted quickly to their new surroundings and schedules. Tills year was also the second year they were eligible to participate in school sports. And they were able to choose the course of studies that they liked best and picked certain electives. They also had the option of taking a foreign language, and many did. The contestants representing the eighth grade in the Junior Miss BA con- test were Cheryl Cheely, Cindy Vincent, Becky Wriglit, lisa Baird, Stacy Harrup, and Jane Adams.

The seventh grade this year has partici- pated in many experiments in their sci- ence classes. They have even set up an experimental weather station outside their classroom windows using modified instruments used by the Weather Bureaus. They learned the proper parts of speech and how to use them correctly in letters and compositions in Language Arts. Seventh grade math included learn- ing about square roots, expanded nota- tion, and the metric system. The students enjoyed the filmstrips shown to them in their history classes— these were fun and educational. The seventh grade was represented by Kim Clary, Lynn Davis, Julie Flippen, Wanda Kidd, Ann Moore, and Debbie Norwood in the eleventh annual Junioi Miss BA Beauty Pagent. Wanda Kidd was chosen first runner-up and received a very nice bouquet of flowers. For the seventh grade this means the last year in the Green Building and only one more year until they enter high school, and to some it means being on the JV teams. Indeed, the seventh grade is busy with experiments, projects, PTO programs, classes, and sports.

Right: Awaiting a chance to get some nabs for break, Pam Williams smiles sweetly at by-passers. Sixth graders became increasingly aware of their scholastic programs and studied in more depth science, math, so- cial studies, language arts, and physical education. In science they were tauglit how and why you do experiments and to be able to relate these findings to the world around them. Sixth graders learn about the exciting and far away places and their inhabitants from ancient times to the present. And of course you have to do those book reports, take those spelling tests and learn all about nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc . . . The sixth grade was represented by Bonnie Blake, Sherri Howerton, Patsy Jones, Cindy Lawford, Stephanie Thom- as, and Anita Woodruff in the Junior Miss BA Beauty Pageant. All in all the sixth grade helps us to become aware of our responsibilities to ourselves and our future.

Sometimes, checking your home- work can be both interesting and amusing, as these students demonstrate. Below: As summer days end and school begins, students often think fondly of the fun they had outside before they had to return to the classroom. Sheila Roberts reminisces before putting her attention back on studying. The fifth grade class was involved with many projects this year. Among them were the annual magazine drive in which they collected more than six hundred dollars, and the “grab bag” booth which they sponsored at the Fall Festival. Six of the loveliest girls were chosen to repre- sent them in the Junior Miss BA beauty contest. They were Kathy Doyle, Terrie Grizzard, Bonnie House, Sandy Pearson, Sheila Roberts, and Belinda Wrenn. Fifth graders also enjoyed helping their teachers, Mrs. Newsome and Mrs. Steed to make bulletin boards and deco- rations for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. In their classes the students learned to make book reports, reports on famous people of our past, and projects for science classes. Mr. Rishel helped the students to understand such things as navigational systems and how physical education helps to build good strong minds and bodies. 114- Middle BA - l ifth tirade And Joys For Fifth Graders Alan Brockwell Micky Clary Todd Dix Terri Grizzard Angela Hux Dian Malone Cindy Poole John Watson Melissa Brown Mica Craft Kathy Doyle Buck Harrison Nancy Keedwell Gary Otten Sheila Roberts Rob Weaver Jay Butler Ed Crane Artie Elliott David Harrison Bryant Lafoon Sherri Parker Jim Saunders Belinda Wrenn Mark Cheely Todd Crewe Reggie Ferguson Dwayne Hawthorne Lesa Lafoon Sandy Pearson John Short Donny Wright Daryl Clary David Daughtry Lois Finch Doug Hite Betsy Lancaster Donna Perkins Charlie Taylor Tammy Wright Jim Clary Nancy Davis Scott Gauldin Bonnie House Chris Lucy Caroline Poole Connie Veliky Wendy Wright Middle BA - Fifth Grade - 115 A student coining into Brunswick Acad- emy’s kindergarten or first grade finds a new world. Instead of being witli just his family, he is involved in group activities with 1 5, 20, or more people. Lovver school years provide a chance tor the student to adjust to the discipline of school. He learns that the world is bigger than he thought and that others have likes, dislikes, and needs similar to his. Reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and other subjects increase the child’s knowledge but decrease his play time as he begins hav- ing to do homework and study. Years pass quickly. Yesterday’s first grader becomes today’s fourth grader. To- morrow he will be in middle school and be even more involved in a complex world. 116 - Lower BA upper Right: Need- ing help on a tricky question, Michael Marston calls to ask the teacher’s help.

History, Social Studies, Science, Health, Language Arts Promote Understanding of Life For Fourth Graders The Fourth Grader faces many chal- lenges as he prepares himself for middle school life. The history of Virginia is introduced to make the student more aware of our surrounding societies. Social Studies con- tinues from the third grade. However, it is more advanced and helps to develop skills in using tools needed to study the world and helps develop attitudes that lead to responsible citizenship. A complete math program begins that reviews concepts previously tauglat and teaches new and more difficult concepts of place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, estimation and fractions. In order to meet the needs of fourth grade students, a balanced selec- tion of science has been provided. This year was unusally challenging for teachers also as they had to differentiate betweens twins in not one case but three. A fourtli grader gets startled by the camera girl in the midst of class.

Above: Thum- bing through his read- ing book, this third grader is checking out the stories they will cover in the near fu- ture. The third grade is an expansive phase of development for the maturing child. The work is presented to the individual as a means of meeting the needs and inter- ests of their inquisitive minds. Experience aids in the development of their attitudes on life. The world of a third grader is more occupied than one can imagine. The Language Arts not only develop skills in listening and writing but aids in increasing their vocabulary. To broaden the horizon of the third grader’s mind, social studies allows the past and present to become more vivid. Health is taught in an effort to make the student more safety con- scious and sensitive to the body func- tions. There is a need for exercise, and physical education fulfills this need. The outdoors, with sunshine and fresh air, al- lows them to observe nature. Thus a third grader’s day exercises both his mind and his body to make him a better individual. 120 — Lower BA — Tliird (Jrade John Abernathy Robin Allen Michelle Armstrong CUfton Bailey Robin Braddy Demaris Braswell Mitchell Browder Gerald Capps Reading aloud aids in the comprehen- sion skills of third graders.

They master the phonetic and comprehension skills neces- sary to read with competence and confi- dence in the subject areas at their level. Achieving proficiency in number combi- nations to 20 is enriched by a growing awareness of the role of numerical rela- tionships in everyday life. Also, by learn- ing the English language, the second grader learns to communicate his thouglits both orally and in written form.

First graders learn how to cope with many things in “big” school— new classmates, teachers and an introduction to lessons. The student begins his journey with the three “R’s” — reading, writing, and arithmetic. To make learning fun, the teacher tries to involve the total child, mentally and physically as well. To make their initial foundation in reading and math a sound one, the child must enjoy his efforts and successes. Not included in the three “R’s”, but hopefully instilled in the first grader, are self -respect, honesty, friendliness, pride in one’s work and most important the child’s love for life itself. Each teacher tries to provide many experiences so each can be exposed and allowed to grow in their own individual way. Sandra Parker and Kim Parrish relax and pose for the camera.

Of course it is optional, but the child will benefit from taking part. They will make new friends, which in some cases is very good because there are many who aren’t used to being around other kids their age. The teachers try to begin a good, firm foundation in all degrees of learning; academic, social, and physical; The main objective of the Kindergarten is to instill in the hearts of these young ones a love for learning and a love for the people they associate with in their world. Working diligently, Mrs. Nash carefully calcu- lates the lunch orders for the kindergarteners. 126 — Lower HA — Kindergarten On November 8, 1974, 27 of the cutest girls in Brunswick Academy’s lower school assembled for the Little Miss BA contest. As master of ceremonies Rich Clary announced each contestant and her es- cort, the young lady waltzed around the stage— more often than not deviating from the planned route. This, of course, brought much pleasure and delight to the relatives and friends in the audience. Time flew quickly as the judges rated, conferred, reconsidered, and eliminated to narrow the number down to the final group of three. Assistant headmaster M. O. Rishel stood by as last year’s winner, Cindy Poole, joined him in crowning Lori Jones the new queen. The two principal characters solemnly finish the crowning ritual. These are some of the many cute young in selecting one winner for the contest, ladies who complicated the judges’ decision Judges Choose Lori Jones For Title In “Little Miss BA” Happiness reigns as Cindy Poole (Little Miss coronation of Lori Jones, queen, and Sandra Lori Jones is “Little Miss BA 1975” BA 1974) and M. O. Rishel complete the Parker and Bobbie Williams, runners-up. Lower BA - Little Miss BA — 127 1975 has been a year in which everyone felt tire need to belong to something. If it was not one thing it was another. Whether it was SCO or BACO, Girl’s Basketball or Soft- ball, Boy’s Basketball or Football each per- son had to get involved in something. Every- one participated, sometimes it was by sitting on the bench, cheering the team on, and keeping the spirit high. There was a place for everyone this year, if they wanted it. For those with a flair for logic and argu- ment the Debate Team offered a secure base for furthering their interest. Many others exercised their talents in the varied fields of Forensics. If your desire was to lead, then the SCO was the place to be. A renewed vitality sparked by vibrant leadership, was typical of the SCO’s work for BA. This inspired all others to do their part.

Workers - 137 With the steadily rising prices of every- thing this year we found the need to go to the business community to ask for their sup- port in the production of the 1975 Viking, even more pressing than ever. The response was better than the editor, sponsors and staff members had ever expected. We realize how hard times are and how every penny needs to be saved whenever possible. Despite the economic situation many merchants be- came interested in our school and were will- ing to purchase an advertisement in our book this year. Whether they have children in our school or are just friends we appreci- ate their help in sponsoring the Viking. Members of the business communities helped our school pay the expenses of print- ing a book comprehensive enough to cover BA’s many activities, those providing valu- able experience and education for staff members. 138 - Promoters TEXACO LUE MARKETS ymm On this page are pic- tured some of the many commercial enterprises that, through their unself- ish purchase of ad- vertising space, have helped to make this issue of the Viking possible. The staff takes this opportun ity to publicly thank all those who have provided the badly needed finan- cial resources.

Ski Trip Gives BA Students New Experience CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 The student body was asked to select one of the four Senior attendants, Donna Harrell, Gail Nolen, Anne Prince, or Bonnie Taylor as queen. During the half- time after the presentation of the court, Mr. Nolen announced there was a tie between Anne Prince and Gail Nolen. Bonnie Taylor had been selected as Maid of Honor. .After a disappointing defeat, couples returned the next night for an enjoyable evening. Many people thought the game was the main event of the weekend, but that proved wrong. Even though our Vikings lost, spirits were high as two queens reigned at the dance. Something new and exciting took place February 6 for the students at BA. Traveling from BA for 4 hours in the beautiful snow covered mountains, stu- dents finally arrived at Mt. Massanutten in Harrisonburg for a day of snow skiing. Upon arrival at the lodge, the 97 students who participated were given instructions on equipment and facilities. After finding their size ski boots and a pair of skis and poles, everyone was given a ski lesson. The ski instructors taught of procedures used to stop and start, to turn right or left or to slow yourself down. The in- structors then left you alone on the 10 inches of snow. You were supposed to practice and to be sure you knew all of the procedures before going dov n the slope. Almost everyone made it down the slope. Of course, some were scared to try their shaky legs on the slope, but friends who had tried it and liked it, urged friends until almost everyone was taking their turn to ride the chair lift to the top of the slope. Out of all the people who attended only one, Debra Tatum, twisted her knee. CONTINUED Closing — 167 Work In Summer Improves Cheerleaders, Vikettes, Yearbook Behavior by students was excellent! For those who attended it was the high- light of their year. Our coverage of sports begins with softball ’74. BA was well represented in this field. After long, hard and hot hours of practice under Coach Walton, the softball team “got it all together” and brought home BA’s first softball pennant. With only a few dedicated players making up the baseball team. Coach Sweet encouraged the team to give their best for BA. Having a 7-9 record, the players gained valuable experience for the coming years. Beginning the new sports season in September, the varsity football team began early practices in August. Coaches Harrison, Newsom and Lynch brouglit new plays and techniques which paid off in the games. In the third game of the season against Gill’s School, quarterback Hall Squire was injured with a broken arm. This was a big disappointment for the Vikings who had played so well until then. The team finished with a 2-8 record. Also for the first time in BA’s history the JV football team took first place in the Western Division of the VAAC. The hard work that the team put out paid off when they received this honor. They really represented BA well. Hopes that soon diminished, were the hopes about the girl’s basketball season. Though both teams put out their best efforts, neither team lived up to their expectations. The JV girls lost their win- ning streak, and suffered their first losses in three seasons. The varsity had a good year, but internal differences hurt the team, and they were eliminated from tournament competition early in the sea- son. Hopes for next season were rising, and all were inspired with an enthusiasm to turn those hopes into reality.

At Brunswick Academy In 1974-75 Oosing — 171 THANK YOU: You have before you Viking, nineteen hundred and seventy-five, with its faults and its high points as well. This yearbook, the combined effort of sponsors and staff members, was compiled only after long, hard hours of work. Of the 33 members composing the staff, only a few showed up to work after school, Saturdays, and on holidays, but thanks to these people, and they know who they are, Viking ’75 has been produced. I would like to thank these people, especially for the helpful- ness to me. I know there were a lot of times that I was really hard to get along with and I’m sorry. I know not everyone will like this issue but I have often heard that if you can please yourself you have it made. 1 guess I have it made then be- cause 1 am very pleased with Viking ’75. This has been a rewarding year that I know 1 will never forget. Thanks, Mr. Creasy and Mr. Blick, for the long, and I mean long, hours of work that you both contributed and thanks for letting me be such a vital part of Viking nineteen hundred and seventy-five. . . . the hard working sponsors, Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy, who helped so much in the production of Viking ’75 and gave so willingly of their time and patience. . . .
