VIKING 1976 begins its coverage with these events. April brought with it many exciting opportunities for the students at BA to unite and express themselves. One of the highlights was the election of the student council officers. The students nominated two candidates and the faculty nomi- nated two. After a couple of weeks of campaigning, the candidates addressed the student body in assembly. The fol- lowing morning in homeroom the stu- dents cast their votes. Mike Wright, a rising senior, was elected president and Martha Robinson became vice-president. Pat Norwood, Carroll Moseley, and Mar- shall Harris were elected secretary, trea- surer, and reporter, respectively. For the juniors and seniors, the most exciting event of the month was the Ju- nior-Senior Prom. The Junior Class chose the romantic theme “City of Love”. Af- ter a long week of preparation, the night arrived with music provided by “Jasper.” The gym was beautifully decorated with gardens, outdoor cafes, stars, an eiffel tower, and street lamps. Under the direction of Mr. Don Mar- tin, with the help of Mrs. Ola Jones and Mrs. Betsy Clarke, the Senior Class put on a fantastic play, “Rest Assured.” The roles were so well fitted to the partici- pants that the play seemed to be real life. The intermission entertainment was pro- vided by Elvis (Kevin Blackwell), his backup singers (Melissa Link and Angela Hall), and Bowman Body (Michael Wil- liams). The evening was also a financial success for the class, with proceeds going toward the senior trip. o 5 = I— ‘ • 3 CTQ GO ■-t I— - • 3 OQ Left: Juniors labored and laughed to- gether for a full week before the Prom to create a romantic fantasy, which they would always remember.

While in Atlanta, the group visited the Atlanta Sta- dium, Peachtree Street and Peachtree Center, the Cyclorama in Grant Park, Un- derground Atlanta, and Six Flags Over Georgia. Everyone enjoyed the sun and the beach or pool while in Myrtle Beach. Upon returning from their trip the Se- niors spent their last days at BA together. Class night, baccalaureate, and com- mencement brought back memories of the past school life. The seniors as- sembled in the gym together for the last time on June 4 to receive their diplomas. Junior Marshals Jennifer Jones, Cathy Frazier, Becky Smith, Virginia Walker, Howard Jones, and Angela Clary, led them in. During the ceremony quite a few awards were made.

Summer held its share of activities for BA students. Many of the cheerleaders, majorettes, and basketball players at- tended camps to improve their skills and learn new techniques. Quite of few of the members of the academy family partici- pated in the annual Peanut Festival Pa- rade in Emporia. Some students held jobs while for others the vacation from school held mainly fun. Eight yearbook staff members, Mr. Blick, and Mr. Creasy at- tended the Longwood Yearbook Work- shop in June. The group learned ways to improve Viking ’76 and won a secon ' d place award in achievement at the work- shop.

Opening - 5 Hustle, Bustle Of School Session Brings Scheduled Events Near Quite a few of the organizations at BA began work before school started in Sep- tember. The SCO officers and sponsor, began planning for the upcoming session. The Senior Class officers met to plan projects and possibilities for a trip. The yearbook staff began their work early to meet deadlines on the Viking ’76. The football and girls’ basketball teams began practice in August despite the heat. The opening of school on September 8 brought with it many interesting events. The students were met by a new head- mistress, Mrs. Jessie Wood. Never before has BA had a headmistress. To draw the entire school closer, the seniors were es- corts for the first graders at the opening assembly. Most students were glad to be back at school with old friends. Homecoming 1976 began on October 16 when the entire student body gathered on the athletic field for lunch. That after- noon 13 senior and 12 junior girls met on the football field to try their skill at the game. The seniors, under coach Mike Wright, couldn’t get things going and the juniors, with coach Carroll Moseley, ran over them 1 2-0. After a rainy day, the varsity football team gave their best against Nansemond- Suffolk on October 1 7. The Vikings were unable to hold off the Saints and suffered another loss. During half-time the pre- freshmen, freshmen, sophomore, and ju- nior Homecoming representatives rode around the field on cars. The senior atten- dants, Debbie Jones, Betsy Brockwell, Terry Slaw, and Pat Norwood, followed on the senior class float. After the parade, the queen, Pat Norwood, and maid of honor, Terry Slaw, were crowned by the two senior tri-captains of the football team, Mike Wright and Bill Young. Fol- lowing the coronation, the Vikettes per- formed a routine for the court. Grading history quizzes can be tiresome brief minute during first period, at times.

The Junior Class worked together ex- tremely well to create a fantastic Junior- Senior prom, and the seniors displayed their acting ability with their perfor- mances in “Rest Assured.” After a seemingly short summer vaca- tion of fun, work, camps, and work- shops, school began and everyone strug- gled to get back into the swing of the hectic routine of the school year. The SCO went to work planning the Home- coming festivities, the pep club and cheer- leaders endeavored to instill more school spirit, and the patrons united in the PTO and Athletic Club to achieve the best for BA. The life of a student also included much diligent study as the teachers at- tempted to prepare them for college or the working world. Main studies included math, science, English, and social studies. Student Life — 9 Hard Work By Juniors Results Anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and much time and hard work combined to make the 1975 Junior-Senior Prom an unforgettable event. After working to get the decorations exactly right, the Juniors could stand back and catch their breath as they admired their decorations. “City of Love” was the theme. A park, outdoor cafes, cloudy skies, and stars all helped to carry out the theme effectively. All who attended enjoyed the dancing and fun. The band, “Jasper,” provided music. After the dance, the Juniors watched tearfully as the decorations on which they had labored so hard disappeared to become souvenirs of prom-goers.

Junior-Senior Prom - 1 1 Seniors Display Acting Abilities In ‘Rest Assured’ The 1975 Senior Play, Rest Assured, brought many laughs as Weaver Squire portrayed Mr. Morlock, a wealthy busi- nessman struggling with many monetary and family worries. Mr. Morlock was op- posed to his daughter’s marrying a poor Italian boyfRaye Jones). He dreamed that he died and was plagued by the ghost of the Italian boy’s father (Jim Horne). He finally consented to the marriage of the two. Entertainment was provided by Mike Williams as Bowman Body and Kevin Blackwell as Elvis Presley, with Angela Hall and Melissa Link as back-up girls. Mr. Don Martin directed the play. As- sisting him were Mrs. Betsy Clarke and Mrs. Ola Jones. Upper right: After the death of Mr. Morlock, Mrs. Morlock (Bonnie Taylor), daughter Mary Morlock (Sheree Harrell), and Mary’s boyfriend (Raye Jones) meet for a family discussion.

Senior Play — 13 Graduation Means Tears, Excitement; As the close of another year at Bruns- wick Academy drew near, a mood of mingled nervousness and excitement over- came the seniors. Their day of graduation had finally arrived! The gymtorium was filled with proud parents and well-wishers as the seniors marched in, led by junior marshals Becky Smith, Howard Jones, Cathy Frazier, Angie Clary, and Virginia Walker. The seniors carried out their graduation as an- xious senior sponsors watched. Mr. Hugh P. Nolen and Mr. M.O. Rishel presided, giving out awards and diplomas. Valedictorians were Amy Ham- mack and Pam Allen, and the Salutatorian was Denise Williams. Another year at BA closed as the happy seniors flipped their tassels and marched out.

Above: At a faculty meeting this summer, Mr. Martin ponders all those things that make a guidance counselor’s day. Below: College and career counseling occupies much of Mr. Martin’s time. Susan Cross is one of many whc come by to discuss plans for the future. 16 — Guidance Mnce Mrs. Jessie Wood, who had served as BA guidance counselor for two years, was appointed headmistress, the academy reached into its own ranks and selected Mr. Don Martin to be guidance counselor. It is bound to be a difficult job. The main part of it is dealing with the seniors. Not only must Mr. Martin keep the line of communication flowing among them, he must keep test scores reports flowing. There are SAT’s (Scholastic Aptitude Test or College Boards), Preliminary SAT’s for juniors, and many others. There is always someone around in the guidance office, be it a teacher or a stu- dent with a problem of some sort. One thing is for sure, and that is that every day is full for Mr. Martin. After following him around for only a few minutes, the photographer returned to- tally exhausted. Above: The many facets of a guidance counselor’s duties include not only helping students, but teachers as well. After find- ing Mr. Martin occupied, Mrs. Clarke takes a seat in the lobby to wait for him. Left: At home in his of- fice, Mr. Martin begins to talk with another senior about which college to choose. When he is not talking with teachers in the halls or in other class- rooms, he comes back here to do his desk work. Guidance — 17 Variations and Emphasis make Each year different Even with a long year ahead, Kathy Kelly still enjoys physics experiments. In this shot from last October, she and Mr. Creasy are about to begin a test of acceleration. At the beginning ot each new year, Mrs. Jones must make chemistry students familiar with the laboratory equipment. Bette Blake examines a piece of newly bent glass tubing. TTith the realization that sci- entific knowledge and principles are changing constantly, science students look forward to each new year as a total- ly new experience full of diversity and almost totally unlike the year before. The first year students in Science 8 have already dug into elements of nature and the earth in their studies directly from their texts. Unlike most previous years, these students have classes in the lab. In this first of five years, the basic concepts they have learned in grammar school come into use and application. Science 8 students are constantly observ- ing and working with plants and other higher life forms. With an easy transition into Science 9, the students included in their studies atomic structure, mechanics, and the theories and concepts of Isaac Newton, including inertia. At the start of the year, students are required to learn the chemi- cal symbols and numbers. This is one thing that they must later use in chem- istry. The highlight of all the years in science for most students has been actual inves- tigations, which begin in their third year, with biology. Mrs. Virginia Gill has stres- sed the absolute importance of contacts with what they study. Simple toads, and aquatic life are some of the higher life forms students encounter in their ana- tomical studies. Since Mrs. Gill has been teaching, the school has aquired a realistic supply of preserved animals, including sea lamprey, perch, fish, rats, fetal pigs, and worms. Carrying over their memorizations of symbols from exactly one year before, chemistry students get a refresher course at the outset of the year, and then begin to apply their book knowledge as they become familiar with lab equipment in the process. Somehow, math flows into this subject as well when students begin to balance chemical equations. Th e climax of five years of science is physics, the study of matter and energy. Experiments, illustrations, and projects are a commonplace thing in these classes. At long last, a student is out of the science department, but he comes out as a completely well-rounded person, who can tell you what a protazoa is. how a tiger salamander lives a double life, why the ground rises to your feet, and why he j may have dreaded every minute of sci- ence, biology, and chemistry, and ' physics. 18 — Science With access to the lab, Science 9 students are able to use the knowledge they aquire from the book, and get a head start in working with the chemicals they will later use in chemistry. ' The highlight of each year in biology is dissection of frogs and other specimens. Mrs. Gill makes it a point to include this in the students’ studies. One of the specimens from last year was the sea lamprey, which this year’s students delighted in examining. Above: After every day in the lab, the priceless glassware must be stored away for another night. Mrs. Jones likes to get an early start by sectioning off glass tub- ing for chemistry experiments. Teachers Turn More Focus on Literature ■ ■ ■ ENGLISH Right: Even with many dif- ferent levels of English to teach from so many differ- ent books, Mrs. Moseley still finds room to work at her desk. Below: One of the special treats that Mrs. Grigg planned for her En- glish 1 1 students was a book report from Mrs. Barbara Barker, whom Mrs. Grigg invited to school to give the report. Before fifth period begins, they discuss some current best- sellers over lunch. Y W ith teaching assignments varying widely, it wasn’t surprising to find that five different teachers were teaching English, often having more than one grade level. Mrs. Harrell, the choral group sponsor, is teaching an eighth grade class. Mr. Don Martin, the guidance coun- selor, teaches Advanced English. Mrs. Betsy Clarke teaches twelfth grade, Mrs. Frances Mosely teaches ninth, tenth, and twelfth, and Mrs. Bette Grigg teaches tenth and eleventh. One could almost go through high school with the same teach- er, or almost all different ones. What has come out of the English i classes recently has been a turn toward literature, and subsequent de-emphasis of the English language. When grammar is studied, teachers have tried to emphasize sentence construction rather than the basics that students have been taught since grammar school. Some famous literary works have be- come labels for each level of English. The ninth grade generally studies Dickens’ Great Expectations. The tenth grade goes through the short novella Silas Marner, and most students go through one major book a year, as well as shorter stories and plays in the general literature texts. Students have also had the benefit of a new manual with their English texts, on sentence and paragraph construction and composition. Learning the elements of writing becomes a great aid to students, as is proven in English 12 and Advanced English classes. Unlike science, English remains the same, so once students have grasped the fundamentals and the intricacies, the ability to use their knowledge falls into place with practice. Another part of English classes has been plays. “All the world’s a stage,” and that includes the English classroom. Mrs. Grigg still enjoys watching her students perform skits, or just assigning pa rts in a play from the book and having them read aloud. To finish out the rounding process in the English department there is vocabu- lary. Some teachers give it through sto- ries, and others give it directly for stu- dents to learn, but either way, a student’s span of words continues to grow all through his five years. It is not unusual for a passer-by, or for a group in a neigh- boring room to hear a distinquished voice from a record player reciting vocabulary words and defining them with use in a sentence. Peeking into the room, one can see pens moving furiously to catch the meaning on paper before the next word. The standard finished product after five years is a model that can define lots of words, write a theme, make an outline Before a Friday English 1 1 class begins, Michael Thomas gives Michael Joyner a last minute tip on the definition of a vocabulary word. for a story, compose an original short story, or make a character sketch. Some come with added features such as poetry writing, writing plays, writing a synopsis for a book or play, being able to spell astoundingly, and reciting memorable passages from just about anything. So it appears that English classes aren’t so blase after all, and there can be lots of variation in the usual basic linguistics. And there are plenty of changes to look forward to in the future as well. The English student may not be as strict a user of words as his grandparents or even his parents, but he is doing a good job of keeping up with a new generation of slang and colloquial expressions. English - 21 ■ 8 C AROUND THE WORLD IN 4000 YEARS . . . Below: In Mr. Newsom’s history classes, current events can unnerve a person, as Pier Ferguson finds out. Daily classroom discussions are the highlight of all social studies classes. Mr. Newsom, who teaches World History and U.S. History, tries to blend in studies of today’s events with those in nlike most other departments, only four levels of social studies are of- fered at Brunswick Academy. Beginning in the eighth grade, one must choose between World History and World Geography. The choice is simple- brief coverage of general history of the world from the beginning up to World War II, or a study of the lands and natural formations of the world. In World History, Mr. Dave Newsom not only uses the text and notes, but on one day each week, Friday, each student must present a “current event” to the class. These must come from a paper, or a news magazine. Therefore, the emphasis is doubled, by learning what is happening today, as well as yesterday. In World Geography, Mr. Michael Lynch rounds off each student with history. At his desk, he discusses the current world oil situation with his first period U.S. History class. knowledge of the natural world. In World History students learned of some of the ancient European and Asian cultures, but in World Geography the students learn of popular modern day cultures, such as those in China, the Soviet Union, and European nations. A student may take both courses, one in the eighth grade, and one as a fresh- man, but either way, he still will have at least one year in high school without his- tory. In U.S. History, Mr. Newsom uses his “current events” segment of class as he does in World History. After a student has learned of the beginnings of this country, he moves into Government as a senior, and leaves high school with knowl- edge and understanding of government. HISTORY 22 - Social Studies Above: In his standard position, Mr. Woodruff watches his tenth grade play volleyball. After learn- ing fundamentals for two years, students then try to develop skills. I . . . THREE YEARS OF WORK AND PLAY MAKE JOHNNY A GOOD BOY One third of the school year on Phys. Ed. days was spent playing volleyball in the tenth grade boys’ classes of Mr. Woodruff. Above: Lyr.n Moore posi- tions himself for serving the ball into play, and Below: Charles Cross watches as Tom Edwards spikes the ball over the net. fter grammar school students enter high school, mostly dreading the upcoming three years of physical educa- tion. The required three years provide plenty of relief from the “braindraining” and mentally exhausting academic classes, but for some reason the idea of exercising for ten minutes and then getting hot from half an hour of some sport doesn’t seem very appealing to some. Mr. Jim Woodruff, who teaches boys for the three years, divides each week into 3 5 phys. ed., and the other two days for classroom studies. Miss Gwen Walton, who teaches the girls for the three years, allots classes the same way. In the eighth grade, the students all take their final year of health, which they have taken since the sixth grade. Usually by this time they are ready for advanced studies in the functions and movements of bones, muscles, and tendons. They divide the body into groups of single cells, tissues, organs, and finally organ systems, such as the digestive system. The following year is spent in prepar- ing the student for driving. The student is required to learn the rules of the road in the state of Virginia. Although it will be a while before he or she actually practices using these rules, the year of study pro- vides a firm background that puts other drivers to ease who know that future driv- ers are taking the course. In the final year, the most important course is taught — first aid. It deals di- rectly with life and death, and both teachers place strong emphasis on using skills in the classroom. This includes tying bandages in special patterns on other students and “dummies”. During all of these years, time is spent outside the classroom in many ways. Boys work mainly in Mr. Woodruff s fa- vorite sport, basketball. Some time is spent in volleyball, and occasionally golf or tennis. Girls play basketball and soft- ball, and exercise by “tumbling.” Once it is over, most juniors and se- niors look back unable to figure out why they thought it was all so bad. Physical Education - 23 t After many hours of rehearsal, the Spanish club presented their version of “Snow White” as the Christmas assembly for the school. One of the more humiliating moments in French is to have your picture taken during a skit. Marshall Harris is caught he makes his grand entrance. Jjlxpansion and growth have been invading the school from almost all sides in the past few years except student population. It was therefore inevitable that the foreign language department would expand its courses in French and Spanish from two to three years. With Latin discontinued, it was necessary for the school to offer more advanced studies in the two foreign language courses that re- mained. In French, the third year has yet to “catch on” with the students. Some- how, only one was brave enough to continue after the second year. Spanish is a much more popular language at Brunswick Academy than French, and the third year has found more followers there. Still, in their five years of high school, students gen- erally prefer a one year rest between foreign languages. At present you must have two years of a language to get credit for the course, but perhaps soon three will be required. Within the classroom, modes of study vary between Mrs. Lee Warren (French) and Mr. Michael Lynch (Spanish). Mrs. Warren’s favorite pas- time in the classroom is singing fa- miliar French folk songs. During the holiday season, students became fa- miliar with French Christmas carols as well. In Spanish, Mr. Lynch relies on students to participate in oral exercises given in the book. These help students learn uses of verbs and words, and make them familiar with new vocab- ulary. The French and Spanish Clubs remain an important part of the school. The French Club presented the Thanksgiving assembly, and the Spanish Club presented the assembly for Christmas in the form of a comedic newscast followed by a stage presen- tation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” ...

Foreign Language — 25 • ■ ■ A ROOM FULL OF CHRISTMAS The director of the choral club is Mrs. Jean Harrell. She directs the group for the school assemblies, PTO meetings, other special events, and daily in the classroom sixth period. Included in the choral club presentations are solos Hamlin sang as a trio for one of the many songs from various members of the group. At the Christ- presented, mas assembly, Kim Wright, Wanda Kidd, and Lian Below: One of several highlights of the art room for Christmas was Burl Ives, the snow- man. With their theme from the television spe- cial, “Rudolph”, students prepared this likeness for the room. The girls that make up the choral club have con- tinuously and consistently pleased their audiences. Among the many times they performed for the high school assemblies was Christmas. They intro- duced several new songs they had prepared as well as some they had presented last year. A SCHOOL FULL OF SONG T ■ he yearly achievements in the fine arts department at Brunswick Acad- emy vary, but the students always receive something to remember. In the music department, the highlight was their introduction of the new school alma mater. Mrs. Bette Milam, who teach- es in the middle school, wrote the lyrics to the song, and her mother, Mrs. R. L. Saffelle of Emporia, wrote the music. Mrs. Wood originally asked the two if such a task would be possible, and the result was a new song, which was pre- sented to the choral club. They practiced it with Mrs. Saffelle, and finally it was presented to the school at an assembly. Now it seems as though the words are on everyone’s tongue, and it is hoped that it will be used at all of the assemblies. In the other half of the fine arts de- partment, the art classes came up with another theme for their annual projects for the art room at Christmas. The stu- dents went home one night and watched a CBS — Television special, “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Soon they were back in the classroom working with papier-mache and other materials to as- semble models and likenesses of the major characters in the show. These in- cluded the host, Burl Ives. As a student or parent entered the completed art room, he was greated by Burl Ives as the snow- man-host. Then he saw Rudolph himself. There was the Island of Misfit Toys, Santa Claus, the goldminer, elves, and replicas of the toys themselves. All of this was done by the art classes this year, except Santa Claus, who was a holdover from last year, but with a new nose-job. The choral club has presented some- thing that will last hopefully as long as the school does, and the art club has built a set of figures that will disappear from school, but they will hopefully convert the room into “Christmas” again next year. Choral music continues to be a popu- lar course here, and perhaps in the future there will be boys in the chorus as well as the girls. Art is popular with both boy and girl students, and both seem to be equally creative. In the land of “Rudolph,” in the art room, the King of the Misfit Toys is enthroned. One of the characters from the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” special was a goldminer as represented by the art classes in their room at Christmas. FINE ARTS... Fine Arts - 27 YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT WE HAVE TO LEARN! ... In order to get his test papers back earlier, Mr. Blick often works before the bell rings for math classes. 1 he mathematics department at B.A. is full of courses available to stu- dents. Beginning with Pre-Algebra in the eighth grade, through Advanced Mathe- matics in the twelfth, the years are full of everything from simple addition to com- plicated trigonometry. Mrs. Lee Warren now teaches pre-alge- bra, which she hasn’t done in the past at this school. She must provide eighth grad- ers with their first contact with the sub- ject, as well as the principles of algebra. In the ninth grade, Mr. Fred Creasy takes over with Algebra I. In this year, the students continue in their basic work, As an Algebra II student, Pier Ferguson is familiar with the “do your homework in class” method. Many students begin their assignments early. and learn more techniques to aid them. In the third year (or the tenth grade), students begin the first of their three years under Mr. T. E. Blick, Jr. This first year is geometry, which is quite new to the stqdents. Previously, only in the seventh grade have they studied this. Not rust they learn methods of solving they must know their theorems to use in the proofs, and in various ways on tests. As a junior, the student takes up alge- bra again, this time in Algebra II. Some- how, this year is quite different from the previous year of algebra. Finally there is advanced math in the final year. This year is quite different from all of the four years before. 28 - Mathematics . . . EVERYBODY ' S DOING IT!

The skills they learn in this department usually come into use after schooling, especially for those who go into secretarial work. The main course in the department is typing, a skill that most people say “every- body needs to know.” One student re- marked that everybody needed to know it who had a hand-writing like his. In bookkeeping, students find their workbooks helpful in using the fundamen- tals they have learned. Shorthand is the third of the courses. It is like “another language,” or a separate way of writing which is strictly for secre- taries and business workers. The other courses are drafting, two levels of “one of the most wide open fields,” Business Math, which is now taught as a mixture of business math and Math 8, and Business English, in which students learn business letter writing, and other similar things. With the department still growing, there could be a time in the future when every- one in the high school is taking some kind of vocational course. . . .VOCATIONAL. .

The Athletic Club prepared a delicious stew on October 17, preceding the home- coming football game. A stomach full of hot stew helped the people to weather the rain and cold of the night. The Ath- letic Club also sponsored the annual Fall, Winter, and Spring sports dinners. Club president Pete Proctor and his wife do- nated plaques commemorating the 1975 varsity girls’ basketball and varsity foot- ball teams. The PTO sponsored its annual Fall Festival on November 7. The weather proved to be a little milder than in pre- vious years. Students seemed to enjoy working in the booths while people of all ages enjoyed the games, food, and con- versation. There were the usual activities such as bingo, the auction, bake sales, craft booths, burst-the-balloon, basketball free throw, and a new addition, the spook house, sponsored by Mrs. Milam’s seventh grade. The festival was another PTO suc- cess and made approximately $4300.

It was not to be just another school year, though, for there were many different happenings. Tire aca- demy’s first headmistress, Mrs. Jessie Wood, opened the year with a traditional assembly on September 8. Each senior took the hand of a kindergarten student and led them into the assembly, an activi- ty that may well become a tradition. There were several new teachers to be introduced and those who had been here refore were welcomed back. Mrs. Ola lones and Mrs. Betsy Clarke received a ipecial welcome since they had not origi- rally planned to teach this year. The Beta Club held its annual induc- ion on October 1. Twelve new members vere tapped in, and the older members ■xplained the meaning and purpose of the Tub. Competition between classes grew as he magazine drive was kicked off with an ssembly October 27. A large bird was to isit the highest selling homeroom each lay. Individual prizes were awarded to lutstanding salesmen. Mrs. Wood agreed hat if the school topped $8000 in sales he would receive a pie in the face from he students. BA emphasized the Bicentennial this year. On November 3 the SCO held a Hag raising day on the lawn. Mike Wright raised the 1976 and 1776 flags with assis- tance from Tripp Bishop. Tex Whitley played the trumpet and Marty Link the drums for the program. Charlie Taylor read a poem and Patty Taylor had a pray- er. Later in the week, the Bicentennial Steering Committee presented a Bicenten- nial kickoff assembly. Mrs. Betsy Clarke discussed the Bicentennial and presented Virginia Walker, a senior who read her paper about “What T he Bicentennial Means To Me.” Stephen Walker, from the seventh grade, also read his paper on this subject. Candy Wilson, Brenda Harris, Tina Roberts, and Michelle Armstrong invited the students to visit the Bicenten- nial displays in the lower school. An awards assembly on November 12 honored the JV and varsity football and girls’ basketball teams. The JV girls lived up to expectations by going undefeated and winning the division and conference titles. Miss Walton presented the JV and varsity girls’ basketball awards and Mr. Martin, Mr. Newsom, and Mr. Lynch pre- sented the awards to the JV and varsity football squads. Justin Thomas received an award for his efforts, even though he was injured during the first of the season eta members Becky Smith and Virginia Walker give out induction cards. As Martha Robinson iceives hers, other students watch anxiously. and was unable to play the rest. To close this assembly, Rich Clary was awarded the Outstanding Sports Commentator award for the 1975 season at BA. The student exchange with Amelia took place November 19. Mike Wright and Mrs. Wood welcomed the students in a short assembly. Gail Clary introduced the exchange students and informed BA students of the newsletter which was soon to come out. Rick Lee told about the VASC and its functions. Students assembled November 21 to watch Mrs. Wood receive a pie in the face. By agreement of the student body, how- ever, she received a good sport award instead of the pie. Tire school year progressed rapidly, and soon it was time for Thanksgiving vacation. On November 26, the Trench club presented an excellent assembly for Thanksgiving. Debbie Allen opened the program as the French club led the stu- dents in singing “We Gather Together.” Virginia Walker, Gail Clary, and Rick Lee read their papers on “Being Thankful All of the Time.” These papers proved to be outstanding and very well written. The choral club sang two selections and the assembly was closed with “Come Ye Thankful People Come.” “Jaws” is displayed by the salesman in the magazine sales kickoff assembly. Assemblies - 33 Parade, Activities Lift Spirits That special time of the year arrived when students, patrons, teachers, and alumni reunited. BA held its annual homecoming October 17. Students at BA spent a week preparing for the special event. Activities began October 1 5, with a powder puff football game played between the junior and se- nior girls. After only two practices, both teams felt confident of victory and began teasing and ribbing their opponents. The afternoon found the girls excited and a little nervous as they rehearsed their stra- tegies. Pre-game entertainment was provided by JV football players acting as the Vik- ettes. A group of boys, led by Kemp Settle, served as cheerleaders. Curtis Brickell and Hall Squire were announcers. The junior girls skunked the seniors 12-0 with Darlene Clary and Anne Outten scoring touchdowns. Tire Athletic Club cooked a stew Octo- ber 17, the night of the homecoming football game. The night was cold, rainy, and muddy, which did not help the de- feat of the Vikings by Nansemond-Suf- folk. After several tries the Vikings were unable to recover, and the final score was 25-0. The spirit and mood of the event was lifted by BA’s first homecoming pa- rade at half-time. This was led by the Vikettes, and the homecoming court fol- lowed in cars. Pat Norwood was crowned homecoming queen. The homecoming dance also helped to lift spirits. It started late as the band, “Barn storm,” got lost and was late in arriving, but all enjoyed the dance. Cindy Vincent and her father, Mr. Arnold Vincent, wai on the field at the homecoming game. Carroll Moseley performs a new kind of dance at the homecoming dance.

Homecoming - 35 I Pat Norwood Adds Beauty Crown To Homecoming Title The night of November 18 brought excitement and smiles as the contestants for Miss BA prepared for this big event. The junior class and its sponsors, Mr. Fred Creasy, Mrs. Bette Grigg, and Mrs. Deborah Tuck, spent a hectic week be- fore the contest making last minute ar- rangements and checking with workers. These people also rejoiced when the big night Finally came. Miss Patricia Norwood was crowned Miss BA. This was her second crowning of the year, since she had been crowned BA homecoming queen a month earlier. First runner-up was Nanci Bell, and second runner-up was Debbie Jones. As the con- test ended the junior workers were re- lieved to be through with their duty, while the winning contestants were Filled with joy.

The banquet was held on May 9, 1975. Despite the fact that the date conflicted with some previously scheduled events, the turnout was impressive. An excellent meal, presentation of awards to yearbook staff workers and for- ensics and debate competitors, some cus- tomary corny jokes from Mr. Blick, and an interesting talk from guest speaker Alden Aaroe of WRVA radio in Rich- mond, all combined to make the event a worthwhile one. Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy believed the yearbook-forensics workers deserved recognition; they succeeded in making it possible, and at the end of the program, both Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy were given gifts from the workers. Cathy Lee Moore received the CSPA yearbook medal while Angie Clary, Gail Clary, Bonnie Taylor, Becky Wrenn, Melissa Hines, Gail Nolen, Rachel Smith, and Teresa Malone received pins. Also certificates of recognition were awarded to all staff workers. In debate, Steve Kil- lam received the outstanding debater award. Mr. Fred Creasy, debate sponsor, also awarded pins to members of the de- bate team. The event was a first at Brunswick Academy. After it was over, however, many people expressed the hope that it would become a traditional event. Above: Guest speaker at the Forensics-Debate-Yearbook dinner was Alden Aaroe of WRVA radio.

Forensics, Debate and Yearbook Dinner — 37 FORENSICS A hectic part of anything is last min- ute rushing. This includes studying, year- booking, and preparing for forensics. De- spite everyone’s attempts to get things behind them early, they always pile up in the end. Such is the case each year as students and “coaches” live through the final few days before the AVA (Associa- tion of Virginia Academies) Forensics Meet. This very special event takes place every spring at one of the schools in the conference. In it, students from the schools compete in various academic skills such as poetry and prose reading, humorous or dramatic monologue, or soliloquies. Each event is supervised, timed, and in the end judged, and subse- quently awards are given for the top three performances. Each event is divided into two divi- sions, novice and varisty. Novice is for the beginner, and varsity for the veteran (those who have done it before). Also, for the oral events, readings are classified as either humorous or dramatic. The other division for the forensics is between the oral events, and the creative writing. In this, students write essays, short stories, or poems. (Extreme top) Preparing a speech for debate is a lot of hard work. Debbie Allen takes her time and does the job well. (Above left) At the Awards Banquet, after Mr. Blick had presented Forensics, Debate Competitio DEBATE Tire final part of the forensic events is debate. But the debate team’s preparation does not end there. During the year there are other tournaments throughout the state in which the BA teams participate. The debate team started its 1974-75 year at Collegiate School in Richmond, the first major tournament the team had ever participated in. They ran up against teams such as Collegiate, Tabb, and Vir- ginia Beach, some of which were Triple-A teams. Although BA did not win, the team made a good showing and learned a lot. The next debate brought success! The team went to the Longwood Invitational tournament, and the varsity won several rounds and did great things. The novice team got third place overall. Tire novice affirmative won all four of its rounds, and the novice negative lost only one of its four rounds. BA’s final debate also brought much success. At the AVA Forensic meet the varsity affirmative got second place, and the varsity negative won first place over- all. the yearbook awards and Melissa Hines had presented forensics awards, Mr. Creasy pre- sented certificates and pins to those who had participated in debate.

Forensics and Debate — 39 After completing work on the Viking ’75 and receiving the award-winning issue, yearbook sponsors Mr. T. E. Blick, Jr. and Mr. F. C. Creasy, Jr. began planning for the 1976 book. The 1974 issue won a first place in the AVA and the Viking ’75 won a first place in Columbia competi- tion. Angie Clary was chosen Editor-in- chief, and Gail Clary was selected assis- tant editor. Plans were made for eight members of the staff and the sponsors to attend the Longwood Yearbook Workshop, and in June they traveled to Longwood College. The days were filled with learning more about yearbook production, and there was also time for fun. The staff made few definite plans but their work was reward- ed when they were awarded a second place finish in competition for complet- ing the most work. The prize a scaleo- graph came in handy while working on Viking ’76. During the remaining portion of the summer, yearbook staff members were seen all around the community selling ads. The purpose of selling the ads in the summer was to have that section of the book ready for the press in September. Response to the sales was extremely good. With the beginning of school came the making of important decisions. The color, number of pages, cover design, and type of endsheets all had to be settled. After much debate, thought, and meetings with Manley Williams, Delmar representative, all specifications were sent to Delmar. Next came the long hard hours of writ- ing copy, cropping pictures, and drawing page layouts. Thanks to a diligent staff of workers all deadlines were met, and the final pages were sent to press in mid-Feb- ruary. Looking back, the staff members missed the hard work but realized that they gained a great deal from their experi- ences with Viking ’76.

Yearbook 41 Y earbooking — W riting Copy, Cropping Pictures, Drawing Layouts BA’s Ghost Worker — The SCO The SCO sponsored two student ex- changes with other schools this year. In November the exchange was with Amelia Academy and in March with Isle of Wight. A powder puff football game between the junior and senior girls began the SCO’s homecoming activities. Then fol- lowed the homecoming football game and the dance to end the weekend of remem- brances. There was a door decorating contest just before the Christmas holiday. All three buildings participated and the re- sults were outstanding. The SCO also had its annual White Christmas program to give gifts to people in nursing homes. This proved a big suc- cess as each person in the homes received two gifts. To finish off the Christmas holiday, the SCO had its Christmas ball December 26 in the gym. Debbie Norwood was crowned Snow Queen. This was a new addition sponsored by the Monogram Club. Wanda Tatum was runner-up. The band, “Crocus,” supplied Music. In the way of business, the SCO Coun- cil worked to set up an Honor Council. It also decided to finish the building proj- ects already started at BA before under- taking any new ones. The annual Beta induction was held October 1 . Twelve new members were tapped in during a candlelight service. Betas attended the annual Beta con- vention in Roanoke, Virginia, January 9 and 10. This convention was the second consecutive one in which the BA Betas offered a candidate for state office. In the March 1975 convention, which was too late to be covered by last year’s Viking, Virginia Walker ran for vice-president. At the 1976 convention Rick Lee ran for president and got the second highest number of votes. Members enjoyed cam- paigning for him, meeting other Beta members, and just having fun together. They also benefitted from attendance at conferences and from hearing speeches by state Beta officers and by Congressman M. Caldwell Butler of Roanoke.

They under- took or continued projects to help the school and community. The Pep Club began the year with a contest to see which homeroom could collect the most tabs from drink cans. Money from the tabs was planned to be used in conjunction with a local club to help put people who needed them on dialysis machines. The two foreign language clubs took over holiday assemblies. Tire French Club presented a Thanksgiving assembly with singing of songs and selections by the choral club. Selected students from French classes read their papers on “Being Thankful All of the Time.” Tire Spanish Club presented the Christ- mas assembly. It consisted of TV skits and a play, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” in a Spanish version as the mai attraction. Then the Choral Club sar some selections. Tire Choral Club attended a band coi cert, by “Tire President’s Own Band,” t the Mosque on October 30. They als presented a program to the Bible stud group in Emporia on December 9. The Art Club presented a Christina art show to the PTO on December £ Later in the week the show was open t- the student body. The Monogram Club sponsored Snow Queen contest for the 1975 Christ mas ball. Two representatives from eacl grade in high school collected money ii the contest. The Snow Queen was Debbif Norwood from the eighth grade. All ir all, clubs at BA showed improvement ir their work as they helped to make BA t better school. Above: Mrs. R. L.

Clubs - 45 Gifts Make Christmas White While Snow Excitement filled the cold air as teach- ers tried to draw the wandering attention of students back to their lessons. Christ- mas season was nearing and even teachers realized it. To the SCO, Christmas meant another White Christmas assembly. To Spanish students it meant learning lines and prac- ticing for the upcoming play. To most students it meant a break from school. On December 20, the SCO and Span- ish club jointly presented an assembly. White Christmas presents were placed un- der the Christmas tree as the SCO opened the assembly and had a devotional. Then the Spanish club presented TV skits and a Spanish version of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” The choral club sang sev- eral selections. On December 26 the SCO sponsorec its annual Christmas ball. This year there was an added attraction. The Monogram Club sponsored a snow queen contest. A; representative was chosen from each homeroom. After a week of collecting, the contestant with the most money was the winner. The snow queen was Debbie Norwood. Wanda Tatum was runner-up. Music for the dance was provied by “Crocus.” The closing of the dance; marked the passing of half of the Christ- mas holiday as BA students realized it would not be long until January when 1 they had to return to their studies at : school.

Christmas - 47 JV Cheerleaders Begin New Year With New Girls JV cheerleaders put a lot of hard work into cheering this year. Starting the year off with one old cheerleader and nine new ones, they had a lot to learn. One thing was not to expect much support and large turnouts at the games. The JV cheerleaders spent a lot of time practicing because everything was new. Seven of the new cheerleaders at- tended Golden Eagle Cheerleading School at Chowan College. Each night they had evaluation and competed for ribbons. On their return, they brought back two red ribbons for excellence and one blue rib- bon for superior. They also were awarded a spirit stick, symbolizing outstanding pep, spirit, and enthusiasm. The girls brought back new ideas for pep rallies and improving school spirit. The cheerleaders tried to be there when the team needed them, in victories and defeats. Even when their team lost, the cheerleaders knew the teams were num- ber ONE in their hearts. JV cheerleaders Jackie Abernathy, mascot Hope Wal- on. ler, and Becky Wright cheer the Viking supporters Cindy Vincent, Dixie Mitchell, and Hope Waller discuss a Kim Wright, Jackie Abernathy, and Sharon spirit at a pep rally, cheerleading matter. Lucy are among the cheerleaders who arouse 48 JV Cheerleaders How do you arouse more spirit in your [school? This was the question that faced :he BA cheerleaders and they came up ,vifn numerous answers. During pep rallies, the cheerleaders held contests to see which grade could out-cheer the others. At one particular oep rally, the cheerleaders held a large sign of a hand with a thumb down to indicate the lack of spirit. They urged students to cheer and show their school spirit so that the thumb would change and point up. The homecoming pep rally introduced !a computer that answered various ques- tions. Students were also invited to join in a spirit chain around the basketball court. In these and other ways, the cheer- leaders appealed to students and patrons for support of their athletic teams. [Football tri-captain Mike Wright delivers [talk and asks for support. A powerful speech from Coach Martin helps to bring support from the students. During a pep contest the juniors strive to show their spirit. While the football team is in its huddle, the cheerleaders rally support for them. Pep Rallies - 49 Varsity Cheerleaders Find New Solutions Varsity cheerleaders used unusual per- formances to arouse a flame of spirit in the seemingly spiritless student body. The girls bought new uniforms instead of going to summer cheerleading camp. After practicing faithfully in the heat of the summer, they were ready to present the results of their hard work and to draw enthusiasm and spirit from the sup- porters. The varsity cheerleaders were in high spirits and wanted to see the same in the support of the teams, so they went to work to revive spirit in the student body. This was done by means of victory post- ers, pep contests, and special pep rallies. These cheerleaders found different ap- proaches to solve the problem of lack of support. Despite the cold weahter, Kelly and Anne Outten, Robin Roughton, Libby Coleman, and Nancy Prince sho ' enthusiasm. ' ■ ' Cheerleaders Tina Grizzard, Robin Roughton, and Kim Wright work to keep up spirit even when the team is losing.

Practice started early in July as the Vikettes prepared for camp. This was the second year for them. Seventeen of ' the 19 girls attended, making them the largest corps there. The squad proudly brought back two excellent and two out- standing ribbons. Next came the practices after school for making and learning new routines. These were carried out first in the swel- tering heat of summer and later in the icy cold of winter. Brunswick Academy’s first home- coming parade was led by the Vikettes. The two regular mascots and an addi- tional mascot, Anna Woodruff, displayed the banner. i The Vikettes twirled at JV and varsity football games, and made a guest appear- ance at Kenston Forest. Added attrac- tions at the football games included the fire performances by the older girls, pom-pon routines, and the special glove at the homecoming game. The girls also twirled at all of the boys’ basketball games. For these games the older girls sometimes twirled lights, while the younger majorettes performed their own routines, and did a special “stream- er” routine. The Vikettes got together at Mrs. Blake’s home for their annual Christmas party. At the end of their season the girls went to Duffy’s and celebrated their suc- cessful year. The girls were very grateful for the time and effort Mrs. Carolyn Blake, spon- sor, contributed for the past several years.

Vikettes - 53 r Students And Teachers Express A new “experience” as they called themselves, or a rekindling of an old or- ganization, was started this year at BA. The newspaper staff, under the direction of Mrs. Pat Bruce, consisted of editor George Parson, assistant editor Janice Jones, artists Noel Cumbia and Clements Mayes, and Faye Mangum, Sandra Wright, I Terry Slaw, and Mike Wright. The first edition, consisting of seven I pages, came out on October 15. A contest I to name the newspaper followed, with five dollars going to the winner. Larry I Callaway won twenty bicentennial quar- I ters for his entry, The B.A. News and Views. Thus the BA newspaper came into being. The newspaper consisted of news from the lower, middle, and upper schools, school activities, cartoons, sports, teach- ers’ points of view, and art and written work from students. The B.A. News and Views staff was off to a good start and hoped to be a success- ful organization that would continue in I years to come at BA. Editor George Parson and sponsor Mrs. Pat Bruce busily arrange pages of the newspaper. Staff members George Parson, Noel Cumbia, Ricky Horne, Sandra Wright, Mike Wright, and Janice Jones put the finishing touches on an issue of The B.A. News and Views- 54 - Newspaper Creativity, Opinions in BA Newspaper RRTS AND LITERATURE MU � «c t f Mii ' I THIS fAftK SPORTS wmC THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS Point of V ew George Parson and Larry Callaway patiently wait to run off their pages of the Mike Wright runs off the latest issue of The B.A, News and Views. newspaper.

Through the course of the year Brunswick Academy teams faced many problems such as lack of fan support and interest and small numbers of players. Teams also had to face numerous injuries and defeats. But they came through it, thanks to skilled and powerful players, hardworking coach- es, and devoted fans.

The whole season Coach Gwen Walton and the Lady Vi- kings pulled out of those hitting attacks and spurts of defensive shakiness. The 1975 softball season, record-wise, was much improved over that of the ’74 championship team. Twelve times BA came out on top in ’75; three times that “bad inning” dragged them under . . . but one of those three times was in the cham- pionship game. The hot-hitting Ladies began the sea- son in high gear, pounding Southampton, 20 - 10 . Conference action commenced the next day at Huguenot. Overall hitting was not as explosive as the day before, but strong pitching and solid defense held the Lady Rebels, and, surviving a couple of rough innings, BA dumped their hosts for victory number two. What a relief it was not to travel to Rock Hill, and the girls proved it by trip- ping the visitors twice. Hitting continued to slack off, but good defense ana steady pitching shut out the hapless Rock Hill team. The second game manifested a bit of embarrassment, as BA’s “second string” scored 14 runs with dynamite hitting en route to a 24-2 Viking slaugh- ter. After two postponements. Prince Ed- ward came to BA on the coldest, wettest, yuckiest day of the whole season. The rain finally subsiding, the Lady Vikings, bundled up like Lady Eskimos, took the field. And, despite the drizzle, cold, and fog, BA played superior clutch defense and with tough pitching, got out of nu- merous Wolverine threats to triumph, 4-1 . Lucky breaks and unyielding pitching compensated for BA’s weak hitting and defensive lapses, as the girls dumped Amelia. After last year’s surprise upset, Ken- ston arrived at BA somewhat wary of the defending champs. For the first five in- nings the girls played well, holding the Lady Kavaliers to two runs. However, the last two times up KF blasted six run: across, and all BA could muster was pop ups, as Kenston slapped the girls with their first major disappointment. Traveling to Mecklenburg, the Lad} Vikings set out to de-throne the confer- ence leaders. In the first game, good de- fense held the Lady Knights to just twc runs, but cold bats had the girls running out of time. In the sixth inning aftei some unfriendly Knight tidings, BA ' s of- fense started waking up, and tied the game; two more runs in the seventh gave the team a very big win. The wrap-up of the doubleheader saw the Ladies come alive offensively and score eight of their 10 runs the first two innings. After re- grouping a nearly-collapsed defense, BA allowed only one run the last four in- nings, returning home ecstatic over sweeping the previously undefeated Lady Knights.

The remained 7-5 until the fourth, when broke loose with seven more un- runs. BA closed the gap to two, ut it was too late, as the team beat remselves with weak hitting, a deluge of rrors, and a below-par mound perfor- lance. Timely hitting quickly put seven runs ,n BA’s side at Prince Edward, and tight jefense held the Lady Wolverines to two ins in five innings. Then that bad inning ruck the girls, as three unearned runs rossed the plate in the sixth. The girls ounced back, though, got another run reir last at bat, and held their opponents ne last time to win, 9-5. Hoping to capture first place in the West, the Ladies went to Amelia to close out the regular season with an expected “easy game.” But it wasn’t so easy, for if BA hadn’t scored enough runs early, they would have been out of it — the last three innings the team collected one hit, ran the bases sloppily and floundered on de- fense. BA may have “won ' the game, but it was easy not to be happy. A week later second place BA faced third place Broadwater of the East in the divisional playdown. Good steady Viking hitting, plus stubborn defense and pitch- ing earned the team a 12-2 ticket to the VAAC playoffs. All fired-up and ready, BA spirits then went a little soggy after the tourney was changed from Friday and Saturday to Tuesday and Wednesday because of rain. Without any practice in four days, BA faced Eastern champ York in the semi- finals. Surprisingly, York was no trouble whatsoever, as sound pi tching held them to four hits, and tougher-than-tough de fense rendered the York team helpless Meanwhile, Viking bats just couldn’t be stopped, as BA rolled to a 17-0 block- busting triumph. Returning to Prince Edward the fol- lowing day for the “biggie”, BA faced Mecklenburg, who had knocked Kenston out the previous day. Because of the swel- tering heat, the girls took no batting prac- tice, and it really hurt them. Mecklenburg was hitting well from the start, and dealt BA a severe blow the third inning with a 2-run homer, and afterwards, three un- earned runs. The Lady Vikings finally began hitting a little and managed to scratch up three runs, but the overpower- ing Knight pitching prevented any further BA damage. The last inning Mecklenburg got another unearned run, and the ’74 champs went down 1-2-3 in their last chance to relinquish the VAAC crown to Mecklenburg.

The Lady Vikings did have a great year, finishing second in the Western division, second in the con- ference, and compiling a record equaling that of the VAAC champs. BA was for- tunate in having a very deep bench, one that could get the job done when the going got tough. Winning play and win- ning attitudes kept the team rolling, and Miss Walton was right in there cheering and keeping everybody hustling and on their toes. Sure, it was a disappointment not to bring home THE trophy, but the girls will be right back in there again next year — on top. Above Left: S-t-r-e-t-c-h!

Enough for a fair-sized team, but a fan- tastic turnout compared to the previous year ' s grand total of 10. Talent over- flowed both foul lines, and practices looked great. Yes, 1975 was going to be THE YEAR . . . but, as it turned out, the season struggled along, and the Vikings got some pretty tough breaks. Never- theless, BA pulled out a 5-7 conference record, and 5-8 overall. April Fool’s Day opened the ' 75 sea- son with an exhibition against South- ampton. It wasn’t a very good way to begin the season, as BA used mistakes for shovels, dug their grave, and fell in. Quickly recovering, the Vikings trav- eled to Huguenot the next day to do battle in Rebel country. After a shaky first inning, BA settled down and, with superior play, shut out I uguenot the last six innings. The first one proved to be the culprit, however, as three walks and an error supplied the only run the Rebels needed, because the Vikings were also having trouble getting good wood on the ball. Down in the dumps after the tough Rebel outing, the boys were destitute of a stroke of good luck to save sinking spirits, and they got it, in the form of Rock Hill. The first game of a twin-bill chalked one up for the “plus” column, as BA played a “good solid game both offensively and defensively.” The nightcap proved more like afternoon tea for the Vikings, as BA hitting pounded their opponents into the ground. Strong pitching and defense quieted RH most of the game, but late- inning errors almost put them within striking distance. Bound and determined to sweep the games, the guys bore down, and permanently silenced Rock Hill. Rotten weather struck as viciously as did Prince Edward. Too many games had already been postponed, so the Vikings were forced to play. Whether the weather or the Wolverines were worse was hard to say — BA would rather forget that epi- sode. The only good thing that happened was some angel of mercy coming to the rescue with hot chocolate and coffee, for without them, the team probably would’ve suffered frostbite, or else gotten 62 - Baseball And Tbepe’s Pennaiti Fever in the Aip - Ep, Was ? he last Prince Edward game wasn’t too promising for BA, yet the guys anxiously watch their last time lit bat.

IB lost in the foggy gray yonder accom- panying a steady cold drizzle. The Vikings couldn’t put things to- gether against Amelia, and were ruthlessly trampled. Confronting arch-rival Kenston at home, BA played, in one Viking’s terms, a “pretty fair game, and we had a few breaks.” The big break came in the fourth inning, after Kenston had built a 3-run cushion. It was a short-lived lead, how- ever, as BA exploded for four big runs in the bottom of the fourth, and held on to eke out a 6-5 triumph. Traveling to Mecklenburg for two re- sulted in disaster. Without batting or in- field practice, BA went into game one unprepared mentally, and it showed in their play. Warmed up for the second game and attempting to salvage a split, the boys played a much tighter defense. But the Vikings just couldn’t sting the ball or get timely hits, and were again dumped. When Huguenot came to visit, the Vikings promptly displayed their ability to play shutout ball not only six innings, but seven. Three runs crossed the plate for BA, while unyielding pitching and defense choked the Rebels. Rolling right along and playing their best defense of the season, the Vikings nailed down another shutout at Kenston. BA broke the scoreless deadlock in their last at-bat, with a fielder’s choice and two stolen bases by Carroll Moseley, and a Mike Wright single. Despite the 2-game win streak, BA’s pennant fever was dying, and the hopes for at least a playoff berth were all but squelched after facing Prince Edward. Nothing went right, everything fell apart; but the guys did prevent being shut out, scoring a run in the seventh. A faint ray of hope for fourth place remained, if the team could take Amelia to wrap up the conference schedule. After trekking to Amelia and not playing be- cause of rain, BA finally got the chance to even her record. Viking play was rather good, except for quite a few mental er- rors, which ended the season with a loss, and erased playoff expectations.

They too had hoped for bigger and better things in ’75, but the 5-7 record doesn’t show the fun and the “one for all, all for one” enthusiasm the Vikings shared. One of the biggest disappointments to the team was not the losing season, but the lack of interest and support from the BA popu- lace.

The Vikings weren’t the well-stocked, potentially great team that was supposed to go “all the way” and didn’t; they were a squad of never more than 20 players, led by assistant coaches Dave Newsom and Mike Lynch, and new head coach, Don Martin. As for “going all the way” and failing, the Vikings surren- dered to their opponents— a winning score, but not their winning attitude all 10 times this year. The first two games set the stage for the Tragedy of ’75. In the opener at En- field, a lack of players, unpolished plays, and unrehearsed techniques quickly pulled BA under. In the second quarter the plague of injuries began, as Justin Thomas broke his arm, retiring him for the season. Overall play was better the following week against Broadwater, but injuries sorely hurt the guys -at one point in the game, five Vikings were disabled, so there were no reserves. BA did score, however. Following injury to QB Tex Whitley, Carroll Moseley took over and registered BA’s first six points of ’75 on a 66-yard quarterback sneak. Hosting Gill, the Vikings played well, considering the pouring rain and the slick ball and field. But the Blue Devils used BA’s fumbles advantageously and easily claimed victory. A 2-TD victory margin was predicted for the Kenston game, and the fired-up Vikings traveled to Blackstone ready ft the kill.

At Huguenot BA displayed its best of- ense of the year. After racking up 24 points the first half, the Rebels scored pnly once the entire second half, due to he excellent Viking ground game and pall control, despite not scoring. Even with the 0-6 record, spirits were till pretty high, and the boys traveled to ! sle of Wight hungry f or triumph. Though jome of the guys played their best of the ' ear, the over-all performance of the rikings was sad, and the Chargers gave he team a brutal beating. The Homecoming game with Nanse- lond was the Vikings’ last real chance to in in ’75, since they played two of the I top conference teams the last two games. The seniors especially wanted to win, as none of them had ever been a part of a victorious Homecoming team. Even the steady showers throughout the day hadn’t dampened BA’s high spirits, as the boys enthusiastically took the field that Friday night, in quest of an upset and their very first win. A sparkling Viking defense smothered the Saints throughout the first half, al- lowing the visitors only 12 hard-fought points. But BA’s offense couldn’t capital- ize on their better-than- usual field posi- tion, and went in at half-time trailing by two TD’s, and minus QB Carroll Moseley, who had been injured. Receiving to begin the second half, the Vikings went all the way to the Saint 28, but couldn’t manage to go farther. The remainder of the contest was strictly un- der Nansemond’s control, until the clos- ing seconds. Halfback Billy Tatum threw to Bernard Nash for 65 total yards— down to the Saint 22- but time expired, leaving BA scoreless, winless, and very down. In the last two games with Prince Edwards and Southampton, the guys pretty much just went through the mo- tions of playing— not giving up, but merely accepting the odds against 16 weary, impetigo-stricken players beating two of the top three teams in the VAAC. J Varsity Football — 67 After such a disastrous ’75 campaign, things have to go better for the Vikings in ’76, right? Since BA lost all ten games this year, the record surely can ' t get any worse. But the Vikings played one of the toughest schedules in the whole confer- ence; and they played exceptionally well, considering the lack of players, the ad- justment to new coaching theories, and the myriad of injuries. There were times when ill sentiment poured from dispair and discourage- ment when a number of the guys felt like throwing in the towel and saying, “I quit.” But there wasn ' t one Viking who quit because of the crummy season so if nothing else, the Vikings proved that they weren’t quitters. Far from it! The season did, however, discourage a lot of Vikings. Some of the boys even said they wouldn’t play next year unless 1 more people came out. As one Viking said, “Why should 16 of us kill ourselves when there are enough people in our High 1 School to dress out two good teams?” Yes, 1976 could be the Comeback Year for BA. More interest, more players, and experienced leadership could turn football around at BA and boost it to a much more competitive level.

No, that’s not the kickoff team, that’s The Team. Yes, the 1975 JV football team consisted of Coach Mike Lynch, assistant coaches Martin and Newsom, 15 sev- enth , eighth , and ninth graders, and one tenth grader. Most of these boys played no more than two or three plays last year; and because sophomores were not allowed to play both JV and varsity, a big load fell onto inexperienced should- ers. Always outnumbered and outsized, the JV’s still played their games to win, undaunted by the obvious disadvantages and odds against them. The Junior Vikings gained their only win from Southampton, who forfeited. After six weeks of practice, the Vi- kings finally started their season at Meck- lenburg. Consequently, the game proved a presage of disasters to come, as the Knights stomped BA. Traveling to Huguenot, the boys pla; ed quite well and battled determined!) Except for a penalty, BA probabl would’ve scored; as it was, they fell to 12-0 Rebel verdict. The first home game saw Prino Edward literally run over BA.

The offense then lay dormant until the ourth quarter, when Mike Thomas pressed the goal line. Trailing 48-12, the jfV’s successfully tried an onside kick, re- bovered the Kenston fumble, and scored on another Mike Thomas run. Soon after- wards time expired. BA closed out the season against Isle of Wight. The Chargers made it a long night for the Junior Vikings, adding insult j to injury by running the score ridicu- lously high. Though the JV’s lost all the games they played, in the minds and hearts of the few fans who supported them, they were winners all the way. The 16 “losers” that took the field for BA played with a great deal more determination and win- ning spirit than many better teams; and they must have had courage beyond compare, to have confronted such odds without giving up or backing down. As for next year, BA’s Junior Vikings will definitely have experience on the team. Hopefully more people will play JV football in 1976; if they do, BA will be winners in score as well as in attitude.

Their high hopes and over- flowing potential didn’t take up the slack when hard times hit, and the girls sank to a mediocre 4-6 season. However, the team narrowly missed a tournament berth— by one victory, to be exact. After practicing nearly six hot weeks, BA opened the season against a vastly improved Amelia team. The Lady Vikings prevailed, squeezing by the Lady Patriots, 4441. Prince Edward proved too overpower- ing for BA, as the girls dropped their first game of the young season. A sluggish Viking defense couldn’t contain, and the offense couldn ' t catch, the fired-up Mecklenburg team, as the Lady Knights clobbered the Brunswick Team. Regrouping after the two losses, the girls bounced back when they hosted Huguenot. Great passing and a good night on the boards carried the Lady Vikings an impressive 53-39 win, evening tli record at 2-2.

But when Terry Slaw severely rained her ankle the team completely 11 apart, and the Lady Wolverines coast- 1 home. Without Terry on the floor, the team eked confidence, and couldn’t pull itself together. Mecklenburg served BA a bitter defeat, running the score up ridiculously high. The girls traveled to Huguenot with very low spirits; and though their team leader was back, the girls played sloppily, and fell short for the third consecutive contest. BA bounced back for the season’s finale at Kenston, and played another tough game against the Kavaliers. Shoot- ing was good, but it could have been better; the defense was expecially tight, limiting KF to outside shots, while con- trolling the boards. But the girls couldn’t overtake KF, ending ’75 with a loss, and very dim expectations for a playoff spot. Had the girls won the Kenston game, they would have been seeded fourth for a berth in the VAAC tourney. As it turned out, they didn’t win, leaving them tied for fourth with Huguenot. Huguenot had earned more points in the point stand- ings; therefore, the Lady Vikings were left out of the tournament.

The second round of games turned out ie same as the first, with the Junior ady Vikings winning every game, having record of 10-0 for the season, and quali- j ing for the first JV VAAC tournament. Playing the Isle of Wight Lady hargers was not an easy victory. The |rst half went fast ending with a score of 6-5, the Lady Vikings leading. Things had gone about the same during the first 3 quarters, with the JV Vikings keeping the lead. It was in the fourth quarter that things started moving. With a few second remaining in the game the Vikings led 15-9. As the buzzer went off, an Isle of Wight player shot from half-court, sinking the basket and making the final score 15-11. However, The ' Brunswick Academy JV Girls were the tournament champions despite this at- tempt. The junior varsity will lose six of its players to varsity next year, leaving the rest to defend their title and try again for another undefeated season.

Overall, 9-1 in VAAC Excitement builds in Coach Woodruffs countenance as he fires the boys up to tackle the Wolver ‘‘What a fast start. The Vikings are sure to go all the way this year.” But somehow they didn’t - luck and consis- tency ran out too soon, and a below-par performance during a late-season slump cost the boys what was expected to be a championship season for BA. The Vikings cut the season’s ribbon by smashing a strong Southampton team. The game was billed as a tight contest, but the Vikings blew that idea and Southampton out of the gym with blazing speed and sizzling shooting. BA easily overwhelmed hapless Surry. After opening a 25-point lead the first quarter, Coach Woodruff employed a shuttle system - sending in a new squad every four minutes which worked ex- cellently, as all the Vikings contributed to the 56-point mutilation. York almost broke BA’s winning ways, or at least gave the boys a scare. After trailing by 15, York bounced back and held a 5-point lead with only 3:40 left to play. Tire Vikings went into the press, outscored YA 10-2 in the closing min- utes, and upped their mark to 3-0. At Prince Edward’s Christmas Tour- ney, BA dropped both games and placed fourth, but as Mr. Woodruff said, “If we had to have a slump, the tourney was the time to have it.” BA rebounded with a solid victory at Broadwater. It was not a very jubilant night, however, as Coach Woodruff was stricken with a kidney stone attack and hospitalized. Mr. Woodruff quickly recovered and joined Mr. Lynch and the boys at Amelia. A super BA defense prevented double fig- ures for any Patriot, and an overpowerir offense, led by Carroll Moseley’s 2 points, easily took AA. Tire team next trekked to Meckle burg to face a quick, closely-matche Knight squad. It was a see-saw battle the way, but BA landed at the see-saw bottom. Time favored the Knights, wh eked out a 2-point victory. Coming home to meet Prince Ed wan the Vikings once again blasted off quid ly, and commanded a 43-32 lead at tl half. The Wolverines inched to with: striking distance, but BA poured it c‘ and coasted to a 73-60 win. The streaking Vikings had becoir quite a drawing card, and fans packed th gym like sardines to see a tough but sui BA win over Huguenot.

In overtime, BA sank six straight points before Huguenot came back and tied the game at 58-all. Three foul shots gave BA a super win, and a unique one in that the five starters played the entire game. The two division leaders met at BA in a game expected to be a preview of the championship. BA had trouble getting into gear the first half, but compensated with aggressive play the second half. I Kenston then took a 3-point lead in the last three minutes and froze the ball until :20 left to play, when BA got the ball and closed to within one on a Hampton Hite basket. The Vikings couldn’t buy a goal as the buzzer sounded to award KF sole possession of first. . Though the boys didn’t play their usu- ally aggressive game when hosting Amelia, BA prevailed with a 9-point triumph. Mecklenburg visited BA in a must game to keep both teams in reach of first place. BA had its ups and downs, building and losing leads, but Garner Chandler’s seven fourth-quarter points and a Viking surge near the end gave BA its ninth win, with only two VAAC losses. Then the storm hit. For the last five conference games, little went right for the Vikings — either the team played poorly, or they just couldn’t get a break. Hugue- not started the tailspin, where cold BA shooting and “Sears Roebuck” offici- ating did the team in. Prince Edward bogged the boys down with a great come- back and super foul shooting. Kenston added insult to injury by playing a fast game, usually BA’s style of play; unfor- tunately, the Vikings left their playing shoes at home in the closet. BA’s last home game, against the east- | ern champ, Isle of Wight, was another big letdown for the boys. A disputed Charger bucket may have cost BA the game, as IWA won, 85-83. Third place hung in the balance for the finale at Nan semond-Suffolk. The Vikings started off slowly, and had to play catch-up ball the whole game. Despite Hampton Hite’s 30 points, BA failed to pull the game out to end the tailspin. The five losses cost BA a higher finish in the West. Seeded fourth, the team trav- eled to Isle of Wight for the playdowns. After holding a 10-point lead in the third quarter, BA turned the ball and the game over to IWA in the fourth, ending their tourney chances and the season. J Varsity Boys’ Basketball - 79 76 StruQQle.n ' 77 Prize If it’s true about virtue lying in the struggle, not in the prize, the Vikings should certainly be virtuous, after suffer- ing a 6-game slump which squelched their hopes for a championship. Perhaps the struggle is now behind BA, and next year the prize will come. No one likes to make or hear excuses, but the Vikings did have their share of bad luck. Cold streaks and defensive lapses occurred, as with all teams. Inju- ries, however, took an even greater toll, as there probably wasn’t one game when someone wasn’t hurt. All-Conference Junior Billy Tatum became a sidelined senior much of the 75-76 campaign, suffering from a torn-up ankle. Sammy and Donny Thomas, Ber- nard Nash, Nelson Baird, and Ricky Spence all punched the time clock in BA’s ailing ankle ward. And Charles Finch knocked himself out of basketball’s end and baseball’s beginning by taking a tumble, arm first. Yes, BA did have a hard time being lucky this year. But hopefully next year’s team will bypass the bad luck and show ’em all what a number one team really is. (Right) Overcoming KF’s George Drewry, Billy Tatum sinks two.

But Coach Mike Lynch and the boys trained and strained and pulled out a bet- ter-than-expected 7-9 record. Inexperience and nervousness were tre- mendous factors in the loss of the sea- son’s opener with Southampton. A ray of sunlight shone through, however, as even the younger players came off the bench and held their own. Surry provided the boys with their first win, as BA brought home a 55-point smashing. Back on their home court, the JV’s attempted to make it two straight. BA. however, failed to catch and surpass the York squad. The young team made the long tire- some trip to Broadwater worthwhile, tromping the host Vikings by a score of 49-39.

Administra- tion, teachers, and students all strove to- gether to make BA stronger and better. Mrs. Wood and other members of the administration worked along with the teachers to make school life more enjoy- able and profitable for all concerned. Teachers were always willing to help stu- dents with subjects and extracurricular activities. As the year progressed each class, especially juniors and seniors, realized how important it was for them to work together. Sponsors gave more than their share of time and effort to reach goals set by classes and clubs. Students displayed their closeness by having luncheons and generally working with others around them. People — 85 The Bicentennial year is offering ad- ministrators, teachers, and students many wonderful opportunities to learn more about their heritage and to appreciate to the fullest the price their forefathers paid for freedom. The Bicentennial activities started at the academy with a big kick-off the first week in November using the theme, “America and Americans, Forward As A Nation.” From the interesting displays, assembly programs, and creative art work, we know that the time spent on the cele- bration was indeed a learning process for our students. An outdoor pageant, “The Spirit of Independence,” served its pur- pose well— to make us proud of being Americans. Since this year marks the twelfth year that Brunswick Academy has been in op- eration, we have something else to cele- brate and much for which to be thankful. The present Senior Class has 12 mem- bers who can boast of being the first graduates who have attended the acade- my for 1 2 years. We are proud of them and proud of BA. There have been many changes in the course of the twelve years. Each in its way contributed to progress. As the grad- uates of the academy seek a college edu- cation or pursue some form of vocational training, they have found themselves well prepared. Some have already received degrees from the most prestigious colleges in Virginia and are holding good posi- tions. Others, still in college, are from time to time on the Dean’s list, perhaps received advanced placement when they entered and a good number have been class officers. Tire above facts indicate that the academy does offer quality edu- cation and plans are in the mill for addi- tional courses. For the first time during the twelve years, BA has a Headmistress, Mrs. Jessie Wood. In addition there are three admini- strative assistants, Mrs. Ola Jones, Mrs. Jean Grizzard, and Mr. Jim Woodruff, who is also Athletic Director. This type of organization makes for better com- munication between faculty, students, and administration. The enrollment is higher this year than had been anticipated. Even though there has been a decrease since 1970 when the enrollment reached its peak, the percent- age of decrease becomes lower each year. We feel now that the enrollment will level off around 600. BA is grateful to the PTO and Athletic Club for the many improvements in its physical facilities. Thanks to the Athletic Club for a new concession stand on the athletic field, a reseeded and fertilized football field as well as a new field for softball. The PTO donated a stove and a new refrigerator to the cafeteria, bookshelves and other supplies to the classrooms, and widened the driveway, allowing for more parking space. Both organizations have other worthwhile projects for the im- provement of the plant in general which they hope to complete soon. It has been a good year. We are grate- ful for the cooperation of parents, stu- dents, and faculty. We admire the devo- tion shown to the academy and we sin- cerely trust that the spirit of unity will continue to grow. Let us say that the Bicentennial year left us with a desire to rekindle the fires in the hearts of our people, making them more aware of the responsibility that goes with freedom.

Administration - 87 Faculty Works With Student Thomas E. Blick, Jr. Patricia Hall Bruce Betsy R. Clarke Beverly Thomas Clary Frederick C. Creasy, Jr. Mary Seward Davidson Virginia Locks Gill Betty M. Grigg Thomas E. Blick, Jr. It’s not unusual seeing Mr. Blick sneaking around taking candids of the students and teachers for the yearbook. Photography, as well as radio announcing at WLES, is his favorite pastime. A graduate of the University of Rich- mond, Mr. Blick received his B.A. degree in Math and now teaches Advanced Math, Algebra II, and Geometry. The Sophomore class keeps him pretty busy, but he still finds time to do such things as run the clock at basketball games, and drive the bus for the girl’s team. Patricia Hall Bruce Teaching Art, not only in the high school, but the lower, too, Mrs. Bruce rarely finds time to do what she likes best water and snow ski- ing, painting and making pottery. A graduate of Averett College, she holds an Associate and Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts. Being the sponsor of the Art Club and the school newspa- per takes up still more of her time, but to her it’s worth it. Betsy R. Clarke Carrying a heavy schedule, Mrs. Clarke teaches English 12, Government, and Business English. Graduating from Converse College, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Being chairman of BA’s Bicentennial Steering Committee is one big job, but one can see it has made progress. In what extra time she has, Mrs. Clarke enjoys reading, sewing, and bridge. Beverly Thomas Clary Being the teacher of the first grade can be fun-and a little tiring at times. Mrs. Clary, a very energetic person, can amazingly keep up with them. She obtained her Bachelor of Sci- ence degree from Longwood College. Returning home from a busy school day, she fulfills her position as homemaker and takes on such hob- bies as sewing and reading. Frederick C Creasy, Jr. A graduate of VCU, Mr. Creasy also attend- ed Bluefield College and VPI. He received a B.S. degree in Math Education. Although he seems to carry a full schedule, teaching Drafting I and II, Physics, and Algebra I, Mr. Creasy still finds time to sponsor the Beta-Athena and Debate Clubs, Junior class and Yearbook Staff. His main interests are photography, reading, music, and electronics. Mary Seward Dugger Davidson Working with Kindergarteners is an experi- ence in itself- and Mrs. Davidson can probabl recall several. A graduate of VCU and Pa American School of Business, Mrs. Davidso works in her spare time. Virginia Locks Gill Upon obtaining an Associate in Arts degre from Louisburg College, a Bachelor of Art degree from N.C. Wesleyan College, and attenc ing UVA, Mrs. Gill now teaches Biology an Earth Science. She is kept busy working wit the Freshman class, and at home during he spare time she enjoys gardening, riding an training horses, and cooking. Betty M. Grigg Along with Mrs. Moseley, Mrs. Grigg spend her day teaching all English. She received he degree in Social Science from the Richmond Professional Institute, but also attended Peaci College in Wake Forest, North Carolina. As ; sponsor of the Junior class, she keeps hersel occupied with different activities and event: within the class. It is not uncommon to find he on any afternoon grading papers. Outside ol school she is a member of Main Street Baptis; Church. 88 - Faculty Carrying Out Theme of Unity Jean Howerton Grizzard Judy Chandler Hardy Jean Parker Harrell Brenda M. Hawthorne Sadie M. Hawthorne Ola Epperson Jones Beverly G. Keeling Gloria Ruth Keeling )Jean Howerton Grizzard After receiving a B.S. degree from Madison .College, Mrs. Grizzard found herself at the Aca- demy teaching Language Arts and Social Studies to seventh graders in the middle school. After her daily activities at school, she returns home to grade papers, and when there is spare time-to sew and read, which seem to be the two things our teachers most often indulge in. Judy Chandler Hardy • Many teachers at BA are sports enthusiasts, (Whether they play, or simply spectate. Mrs. Hardy is one of the players. Her time outside of school, especially in summer, is spent with the Alberta softball team. On the more civicly- minded side, she is also involved with the Alber- Ita Junior Woman’s Club. In school she teaches fifth graders their basic subjects, and sponsors jthe cheerleaders. Mrs. Hardy received a B.S. jlegree from Longwood College. lean Parker Harrell When the vacancy arrived for a music teach- ;r at BA, the school was lucky to find Mrs. Harrell. This year she found herself teaching hghth grade English also. Her main duties, how- ler, are with the Choral Club. Outside of school she keeps herself busy with her family, and after that there was “no spare time at all.” She graduated from Longwood College with a degree in Elementary Education. Brenda M. Hawthorne After the departure of Mrs. Allgood last year, the school found Mrs. Hawthorne to take over as the teacher of three vocational courses (Typing I, Bookkeeping I, and Business Econo- mics). She is a sponsor of the Senior Class, and is one of our many teachers who graduated from Longwood College. Sadie M. Hawthorne As one of BA’s veteran teachers, Mrs. Haw- thorne has become a well known face in the second grade. Many of our seniors had her as their teacher ten years ago. In the second grade it is her duty to improve and expand the basics learned the previous year. She graduated from Longwood College, attends church, and enjoys sewing and knitting. Ola Epperson Jones One of the busiest teachers with school activities is Mrs. Jones. Not only does she teach Science 9 and Chemistry, but also is a sponsor for the S.C.O. and the Senior class, two of the most time consuming sponsorships. Her lists of activities at home and in her community are even longer. She is a well-occupied housewife and also spends time as a Sunday school teacher and pianist at Lebanon United Methodist Church in Rawlings. Beverly G. Keeling One of the teachers starting new students off on the right foot is Miss Keeling, who teaches first grade. Although her school day is probably more filled than most teachers, she as a first grade teacher has time to spend freely in other things at home. Hers include the Junior Wom- an’s Club of Emporia, the Greensville Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, and the American Red Cross. Gloria Ruth Keeling Miss Keeling returned to her Alma Mater after graduating from Averett College in Dan- ville. Now she teaches the second grade. She is one of several teachers who attend some of the many activities at the Virginia Museum in Rich- mond. Faculty - 89 BA Teachers Share Varied Interest; Michael Lynch Donald Grayson Martin Bette Saffelle Milam Lynda Newman Moore Frances Hare Moseley Denise Love Nash Ada Nelson David Newsom Michael Lynch Spending as much time on sports activities as teaching, Mr. Lynch finds his time especially occupied with the Junior Varsity boys basket- ball team. With regular practices and many games taking place at other schools, students often tease him about getting papers back from his assorted Spanish and World Geography classes. Mr. Lynch graduated from North Caro- lina Wesleyan College. Listening to music is a favorite pastime, as well as participating in the Spanish American Club of Tidewater. Donald Grayson Martin Wearing Mrs. Wood’s shoes from last year as guidance counselor makes Mr. Martin’s day long and hard. He may be seen smoking leisurely on his pipe, but that doesn’t mean he has leisure time. For organizations having meetings after school, he always seems to be around some- place near, and somehow finds a little time to help out. He is a Senior class sponsor, teaches Advanced English, and later directs the Senior play in the spring. He is a choir member at Main Street Methodist Church in Emporia, and he enjoys fishing, music, and all sports, one of which he coaches for the school (football). He received his B.A. degree from the University of Mississippi. Bette Saffelle Milam Mrs. Milam is one of several teachers whose duties are to prepare the grammar school stu- dent for high school academics. She teaches science, health, and language arts.

She is a choir member at Main Street Methodist Church in Emporia, and is a member of an Emporia book club, and the Greensville County Historical Society. She re- ceived her degree in elementary education from Longwood College, and also attended Converse College. Lynda Newman Moore Another graduate of Longwood College is Mrs. Moore. This year she is the only third grade teacher. This limits her time as she teach- es 35 students. What spare time she has is spent reading. Frances Hare Moseley Like many of our teachers, Mrs. Moseley spends a great deal of her time in church work. She graduated from Mary Washington College, and at BA she teaches English 9, 10, and 12, and is a sponsor of the Freshman class. Denise Love Nash In surveying the teachers, we have four ' that more graduated from Longwood Colley than from any other school, and all enjoy sur mer a great deal for all of its possible pleasure Mrs. Nash is no exception.

This proved to be very effective, since they could begin planning projects and discussing senior business. It also allevi- ated much havoc and got the 1975-76 school year under way sooner for them. President Virginia Walker, vice-presi- dent Billy Tatum, corresponding secre- tary Betsy Brockwell, recording secretary Angie Clary, treasurer Terry Slaw, re- porter Debbie Jones, sergeant-at-arms Mike Wright, and historian Susan Cross met during the summer just for the pur- pose of “getting it all together”. Many think that a student’s senior year is all play and no work, but this can easily be disproved. The first six weeks were pretty rough for many seniors as they began selling fruitcakes and candles, not to mention the planning of their float in the first Homecoming “mini-parade”. Several heads got together and came up with an idea based on the class colors (red, white, and blue), theme (“My friend, the touch of your love is some- thing I will never forget.”), and song (“Friends” by Elton John). The finished product was an object of pride because it showed among all the paper, chicken wire and staples, the time and effort put into its making. This float was for the senior attendants in the court. This year’s Homecoming was even more exciting than the ones before. The festivities began with a powderpuff foot- ball game between the junior and senior girls. The senior girls fought a losing bat- tle but enjoyed it despite the bumps and bruises. It ended with a tight score of 12-0 in the junior girls’ favor. Finally, Friday night came and the tension grew as the four senior atten- dants, riding their float, circled the foot- ball field. The four girls who had the chance to become queen were Betsy Brockwell, Debbie Jones, Pat Norwood, and Terry Slaw. Soon Pat Norwood was crowned as queen and Terry Slaw, maid of honor, received her bouquet of red carnations. Later the Miss BA represen- tatives were chosen. They were Betsy Brockwell, Nanci Bell, Terry Slaw, and Debbie Jones. Pat Norwood, representing the Spanish Club, brought honor to her class as she was crowned Miss BA. Two other Seniors, Nanci Bell and Debbie Jones were named first and second run- ners up, respectively. The seniors were very proud, as this was the first time that all three honors were bestowed on their class in one year.

Memories of their Thanksgiving feast will long be remembered, as the class planned, prepared for, and en- joyed the dinner as a close group. Mrs. Hawthorne, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Clarke were all on hand to enjoy the turkey, dressing, potato salad, and variety of delicious dishes with the class. The thought of looking ahead to the future was a little scarey, but un- der the guidance of three excellent sponsors, the future wasn’t that bad after all. It really was hard to break away from something the students had known and grown to love during a period of 12 years. The concept of college and “mov- ing on to higher ground” shattered many after-thoughts of high school life. Quite a few attempted to increase their college board scores and attain high score on achievements in No- vember and December. The decision of which college to attend held many unanswered questions, some of which were answered on “College Day” at Southside Virginia Community Col- lege.

Looking back, the seniors realized that what they had was something that no person could ever take away from them — memories of unity and lasting friendships. As the poet Matthew Arnold once said; “Life is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming.” And so it was with the class of 1976 — living their lives by being themselves and becoming what God had intended them to be.

Such interests included the Art Club, Music Club, and foreign language clubs. In the athletic department, many were involved in football, basketball, cheer- leading, majorettes, softball, and baseball, while others toiled away getting the an- nual ready for publication. Able class officers were needed to lead the class through one of the most active years of their school life. The class chose Bernard Nash president, Hall Squire as vice-president, Debbie Allen as secretary, Wanda Edwards as treasurer, Anne Outten as reporter, and Tom Temple as sergeant-at-arms. One of the first highlights was choosing a class ring. Many bought one for sentimental reasons, others just for identification as a junior, while many, this year, decided on passing them up. This year’s Homecoming activities pro- vided the ju nior girls with the chance to Cindy Morris Carroll Moseley Mitchell Moseley battle the senior girls in a rough and tumble powderpuff football game. The juniors, under coach Carroll Moseley, proved themselves far superior by upset- ting the seniors 1 2-0. Eleven juniors were tapped into the Beta Club, giving evidence of the Junior Class’s scholastic ability. In the fall, attention was turned to- ward the production of the annual beauty contest. Much work, time, and effort went into the planning, yet each dollar raised went toward the most spectacular event of all — the Junior-Senior Prom. While underclassmen long for their Ju- nior-Senior, the Juniors planned, argued, and finally decided on a theme for the prom. Next came the hard part, putting it all together for the big night. A lot of hard work went into it, but along with that came the closeness of everyone working together for the same reason, thus adding the Junior’s support to the theme of unity.

Under the leadership of the cheerleaders from the class, they showed the same enthusiasm they displayed last year in school competition. Under the direction of the sponsors, Mr. Thomas E. Blick, Jr. and Mr. Dave Newsom, and the newly elected officers: president Susan Walker, vice-president Nancy Prince, secretary Kelly Outten, treasurer Sandy Ligon, and reporter Kathy Spence, the class undertook the selling of light bulbs.

As a new experience this year the sophomores used the laboratory for biology experiments. Quite a few of the students seemed happy that this was their last year of physical education. One of the main thoughts of many sophomores seemed to be that they had reached the halfway point in high school, and have only two years remaining before they would be graduating from BA.

The class showed themselves to be an effervescent group. Once again under the progressive lead- ership of Jeff Harrell — assisted by Jeff Stone, Cheryl Cheely, Lisa Baird, Greg Jones, and C. V. Moore, holding the of- fices of vice-president, secretary, trea- surer, reporter, and sergeant-at-arms re- spectively — the freshmen struck it rich with a candy drive. With the money garnered from the candy sales and the stew pl anned for the spring, the freshmen had plenty of “greenery” to finance their class project, once they decided what it would be. Even though the class had little to do compared to the juniors and seniors, the members of the class of ’79 kept them- selves busy with diverse extracurricular activities. After working the of Algebra problems, many of the boys endured the rigors of a disheartening JV football sea- son, while a few of the girls went to an undefeated season in basketball. Cheer- ing, representing the Vikettes, and learn- ing the fine points of yearbooking also filled the freshmen’s fall calendar. Winter and spring were filled with basketball and baseball for boys, and more cheering and softball for girls. For Homecoming Court represen- tatives, the freshmen chose Becky Wright and Cindy Vincent. Becky was also chosen to represent her class in the beau- ty contest, along with Lisa Baird. Two freshmen, Nancy Nelms and Roger Craft, traveled to Amelia November 19 to par- ticipate in the student exchange. The freshmen started their hustle and bustle earlier than most classes, hoping that perhaps by the time they become juniors and seniors, they would be well accustomed to the 24-hour-a-day rush of High School life. The Leaders of Tomorrow? Maybe so, but this year they led their class through a year that they’ll never forget. President Jeff Harrell, secretary Cheryl Cheely, treasurer Lisa Baird, vice-presidenti Jeff Stone, and reporter Greg Jones head for an-; other day of freshman activities.

These students were confronted with getting settled in a new building and meeting new teachers and fellow students, most older than themselves. Students in the fifth through seventh grades found that their homework in- creased and their studies got harder. Studies included math, reading, science, social studies, and English. They visited the music room once a week and went to the gym for physical education under Mr. Jim Woodruff and Miss Gwen Walton three times weekly. The life of the eighth grader was quite different from that of other students in the Middle School. Schedules seemed ex- tremely hectic as these students entered the high school building. They, like the fifth graders, were confronted with new teachers and fellow students. Through the Middle School years the students prepare for the upcoming high school life which is more chaotic than that of their earlier school years. Middle School - 109 Mathematical Concepts, Scientific Mixed emotions are shown in this class, some look bored while others are en- grossed in their books.

Below: Many students ignore the photographer but Reggie Ferguson laughs to draw attention. Brunswick Academy’s middle school mathematics program builds on the foun- dations laid by the primary grades. The primary purpose of this program is to develop understanding of mathe- matical concepts and to promote ac- curacy and skill in using these concepts. The mathematical program focuses on place value, estimation, geometry, com- puting, number theory, rational numbers, fractions, and decimals. In addition, the teachers strive to instill reasoning patterns in their students. Eighth graders branch out in their study of mathematics. Most take pre- algebra, which prepares them to continue in future math courses. A few get a head start by taking Algebra I. In any case, by the end of the eighth grade, students are well prepared to go into the courses that lie ahead. In order to make mathematics an ex- citing and stimulating experience for stu- dents, teachers plan for and use games and audiovisuals as aids in the classroom. 1 10 - Math-Science Principles Fill Middle School Minds Above: An excellent collection of arrowheads, right: Carefully and precisely, Lyn Brockwell over but Lee Watts continues to chew on his straw, brought to show the science classes by Scott Stone, copies notes from the blackboard while his class- unnoticed by his teacher, are captured on film for the yearbook. Upper mates continue their work. Lower right: Lunch is The science department of Brunswick Academy’s middle school reached for many goals during the school year 1975 - 76 . One of these goals was to develop an awareness of the environment and its importance to everyday life. In addition, students sought to understand the scien- tific principles that concern the natural and physical world. They not only learned the facts, but also learned how to apply them. Teachers worked to develop in stu- dents the habit of careful and accurate work, observation, and the tendency to base judgements and opinions on careful- ly considered facts and scientifically gath- ered evidence. A third goal, which was one shared with the mathematics department, was formation of the ability to solve problems in a careful, planned, systematic way. Last, but far from least, teachers de- voted their time and efforts to creating an interest in, and an appreciation of, the many scientific contributions to man’s way of life. Math-Science - 111 Social Studies Takes Students on Adventure Trip Social studies strives to give the stu- dents a basic introduction to geography that will help them understand human life and its problems on a worldwide basis. The teachers give the students a gener- al knowledge of other nations of the world through their resources, history, and people. The teachers try to present a realistic picture of life in America today, in comparison with its past. Above: The reenactment of Pocahontas saving Joh Smith is presented by several sixth graders.

Language Arts Brings New Step To Old Routines In the middle school, students expand upon the fundamentals learned in the pri- mary grades through a coordinated lin- guistics program. The program develops an appreciation of the effective use of language and increases the pupil’s ability in its uses— in his listening, speaking, and creative writing. In the eighth grade, the students dis- cover a very different type of Language Arts. Spelling is still important, but more concern is placed on increasing the vocab- ulary. Literature is studied deeply. Students attempt to find authors’ motives, con- flicts, and themes.

The students met in the gym twice a week. Terri How- erton and Sonja Slaw were student assis- tants. Coaches Walton and Woodruff put their classes through exercises, and then there were several sports to choose from. These included basketball, gymnastics, tumbling, crab soccer, wiffle ball, volley- ball, and a new game the girls made up called boo-boo ball. In gymnastics the students learned how to do log rolls, watermelon rolls, 3 man rolls, and leg wrestling. In tumbling they learned forward and backward rolls, forward and backward straddle rolls, headstands and head springs. If the weather was good the classes would go outside to play softball, soccer, or touch football. Above left: Dottie Bell heads for the next chair as she races for the finish line in a relay race.

They found that their subjects were harder and that they had much more work to do. Under the direction of the class spon- sors, Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Harrell, and Mrs. Warren, and the class officers, president Mike Anderson, vice-president Sherry Clary, secretary Ann Moore, treasurer Cheryl Clary, reporter Rickie Watson, and sergeant-at-arms Greg Christopher, the group strove to achieve the goal of bet- tering their class. The students chose Leslie Hudson and Kim Clary to represent them in the home- coming court. Debbie Norwood, Leslie Hudson, Ann Moore, Wanda Kidd, Lynn Davis, and Denna Bennett represented their class in the annual Junior Miss BA Contest. Leslie Hudson won the title. The major projects of the class for the year were to sell T-shirts, sponsor a car bash at the Fall Festival, and a car wash. The money raised would be used in a class project to benefit the school.

In the seventh grade, students were no longer classified as “children.” With this in mind, students began the year and proceeded in a responsible way. They realized their needs and advancement, and they earnestly desired to further their academic accomplishments Each course was dependent upon the other as teachers and students together tried to weave one web toward functional intelligence. The seventh graders repaired the bas- ketball goals so that they would be in shape for all the ball games during the middle school free time. The seventh graders had reached the top rung of one ladder and would soon begin another that would end with grad- uation.

The basic knowledge learned thus far will carry them through the rest of their lives. For some, the future contains col- lege while others start earning a living. This may seem a long way off but as the cliche goes, time flies. In order that they might be prepared for whatever the future holds for them, the sixth graders began to study in more depth. Under the able direction of their teachers, Mrs. Judy Hardy and Mrs. Ada Nelson, they spent many hours in study and learning activities. They had PE in the gym instead of out on the playground and competed with the whole school in the annual magazine sales campaign. The six grade was well represented in the Junior Miss BA beauty contest by Belinda Wrenn, Kathy Doyle, Nancy Davis, Sandy Pearson, Sheila Roberts, and Bonnie Blake.

The stu- dents thoroughly enjoyed Bicentennial bulletin boards, puzzles, and replicas of log cabins, ships, and other objects of America’s rich heritage. The 1975 Fall Festival was a great success, also. The fifth graders’ contri- bution was the organization and opera- tion of the Grab Bag booth, which is always popular and well worth the time. Six of the loveliest girls were chosen to represent the fifth grade in the Junior Miss Brunswick Academy beauty contest. They were Bobbie Williams, Kris Davis, Christy Harrup, Patti Taylor, Mary Rob- inson, and Lynn Hawkins. Though the fifth graders were proud of all the girls, Bobbie Williams was their special pride because she was chosen second runner-up in the contest. Raising $976.40 in the magazine drive made Mrs. Newson’s fifth grade home- room the top magazine sales group in all of Brunswick Academy. As a reward for their earnest labor, they were allowed to take a bus to Emporia and eat a free lunch at Hardee’s or McDonald’s earlier this year. The fifth graders also celebrated Christmas in the form of a Christmas party. They entertained the PTO by per- forming in their annual spring program. When their time was not filled with these projects, the students devoted themselves to their studies, book reports, science projects, and other school activi- ties.

He is confronted with new people, things to learn, and different activities. Kindergarteners learn to count, say thei r “ABC’s”, and how to get along with others. The first five years of school provide the experience and understanding of school life to be used throughout middle and upper school. As students leave the fourth grade, they carry with them the memories and knowledge from the lower school years. They know their “ABC’s” completely, can write in cursive, and have a back- ground in language, science, and social studies. They also realize now that they are one-third of the way through their school career.

Mrs. Mary Short was the teacher. She taught the students reading, language, spelling, arithmetic, social studies, history, health, science, and writing. Students brought in projects such as forts, houses, posters, insects, and collec- tions of different objects according to what they were studying. They had ex- perienced people to come in and lead discussions and answer questions con- cerning different phases of their work. Mrs. Short had Mrs. Loretta Young as a helper during the day and Sandra Wright as helper during their playtime in the afternoon. “It is a nice large group,” said Mrs. Short, “and the fourth grade gives them a definite look at the future, especially in math, health,, and science.” Above: The bicentennial was an occasion for fourth graders to dress in colonial costumes and set up exhibits. Robin Braddy, Sandra Perkins, Kay Hawkins, Tammy Gibbs, and Missi Sadler are some of the participants.

The puzzle of the United States that she fifty states and where they are located, is piecing together is an excellent example of this. Third graders this year worked dili- gently on subjects ranging from phonics to arithmetic. They also extended their knowledge in cursive writing and science. Each week their busy schedules were in- terrupted by visits to the music room, art room, and library. Besides teaching the regular subjects, Mrs. Lynda Moore was very creative in inventing projects that were both interesting and educational for her students. Some examples of this were the Bicentennial projects on food, homes and clothing, map study, and the book- lets on different holidays that they pre- pared. Everyone patiently awaited parties on special holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day. These special parties provided needed breaks during the year. They also helped to place everyone in a gay holiday moods. A typical classroom situation features Bryant Thompson, Lori May ton and 1 George Turner. Bryant and George are completely unaware of the photog- rapher, while Lori stares expectantly into the camera. i 1 Many students enjoy participating in math class by solving equations on the blackboard.

She was one of many BA students who partici- pated in the parade. As Mrs. Hawthorne gives out papers, she comments on Anne Tillar’s, but she doesn’t seem too happy to receive it. Second graders broaden their fields of interest to include science and social studies. The Language Arts provide a basis for using and understanding English, both spoken and written. Of course, all the children are delighted with cursive writing. In number skills, each one must master the addition and subtraction facts to 20, sequence to 1000, and times to the quarter hour, and also measurements. This year was especially rich for the children, as they tried to understand what life was like for the early settlers of our country.

Basic phonics rules help to develop the first steps in a sound reading program. Math work begins with the recognition of num- bers and leads to the number combina- tions through 10. Learning is fun as each child is involved in activities where he is encouraged to express his own thoughts. Along with the challenge of mastering the skills of reading and number work is the opportunity to meet and make new friends. The first grader develops a con- cern for others through day to day inter- action with those his own age. The students have music and art classes each week. Most really enjoy drawing and finger painting, and they en- joy learning different songs each week. Some of the students remember the songs and go home and sing them to their par- ents. At times even improvements can cause problems. members of her first grade class around the steps Miss Beverly Keeling leads Stuart Parker and other being constructed at the lower school building. 132- First Grade First Graders Find Excitement in Learning The arrival of an Alberta Volunteer Fire Department 1 lower schoolers.

It seemed that they were really look- ing forward to the years ahead. A few of the students were afraid of those years, and then there were some who really couldn’t wait. The beginning of school life meant meeting other students their age and older. Mrs. Davidson and her helpers, Mrs. Perkins, and Mrs. Martin, started helping the students get along with one another. The students also started with their kits, that they received the first day of school. The “Beginning to Read, Write, and Lis- ten Kit” also involved fees for instruc- tion, music, and art. Mrs. Davidson and her helpers taug ht the class to count, the ABC’s, how to say “please”, “thank you”, and other things necessary to get along in life.

Everyone get quiet! The meeting is called to order.” So went the routine of club meetings again this year. The clubs of Brunswick Academy accomplished much this past year, considering the fact that they had limited time to discuss their plans at meetings. After all, you can’t expect to get out of every class to go to a meeting, although it would be nice . . . The clubs this year were better orga- nized and the members worked together as groups to accomplish their set goals. Everyone participated and presented their own ideas on the issues discussed. As the year progressed, clubs served as a unifying force to help achieve BA goals.

We were there for another reason too, to sell ads for this yearbook. Through the heat of summer our staff members spent their spare time to bring you this yearbook. We also had a lot of help from the businessmen who spent their hard-earned money to buy an ad from us. We were exceptionally pleased with the interest and cooperation of these peo- ple. We hope that through this yearbook their business will increase. We thank them for giving us the funds and help to give our fellow students and friends a bigger and better yearbook.

Music was provided by “Barn- storm” for the third year. On November 8, young and old alike crowded into the gym for the annual Fall Festival. Classes and clubs worked along with the PTO to make the project suc- cessful and fun for all. For the children there were such games as ring-a-coke, coin-in-a-dish, dart throw, and Fishing. There were hand-made items, candy, and Christmas decorations on sale, and there were also Bingo games and an auction sale. After the selection of contestants by classes and clubs, the Junior Class spon- sored the Little Miss and Junior Miss Brunswick Academy contests on Novem- ber 14, and the Miss Brunswick Academy contest on November 15. Rich Clary served as Master of Ceremonies both evenings. After much deliberation the judges made their selections. Robin Park- er brought honor to the First grade as she was crowned Little Miss. Theresa Jones was named First runner-up and Kim Kidd second runner-up. Headmistress Mrs. Jes- sie Wood crowned Leslie Hudson Junior Miss. First runner-up was Sheila Roberts and second runner-up was Bobbie Wil- liams. Pat Norwood delighted the Seniors by winning the title of Miss Brunswick Academy. Two other seniors, Debbie Jones and Nanci Bell, were named First and second runners-up, respectively. Thanksgiving was celebrated by door decoration contests in each building and many of the individual classes held feasts. Each homeroom was to depict something symbolizing the meaning of Thanksgiving on their door. All of the doors were very beautiful and each held a special message. All classes which held feasts had a won- derful time and got to know each other better. (continued on page 176).

The lower school students were entertained by Santa Claus, Mr. T. R. Witten. The SCO sponsored the annual White Christmas Assembly with the Spanish Club presenting the program. They acted out “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in Spanish. The White Christmas packages, the most ever col- lected at BA, were placed under the tree to be sent to the nursing homes. Every- one eagerly rushed to their cars or buses when the bell rang at 2:40. On December 26, members of the SCO met with Mrs. Ola Jones in the gym to decorate for the Christmas Ball. Many of the papier-mache figures from the art ex- hibit were brought to the gym. Santa and Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, the abominable snowman, and Burl Ives were a few of those used. A local band, “Crocus,” rendered the music for the occasion. The dance was opened with the coronation of the Snow Queen, and the introduction of her court. r jmKm M nklA m m ft QnAfArH A | j RgggSft I i “ Top Right: The 1975 Alumni Game held many exciting plays.

In spite of the fact that many of the students held jobs or worked on the year- book over the holiday, Christmas vaca- tion was enjoyed by all. The two weeks were filled with fun, but also held time for work. Life got back to the usual routine when school opened again on January 5. Soon after settling back into the life style, students were faced with studying for first semester exams. Exams were taken on January 23, 26, and 27. With tire beginning of the second semester the Senior Class started serious planning for their trip in May to Atlanta, Georgia and Myrtle Beach, South Caro- lina. The Junior Class was busy planning for the Junior-Senior Prom to be held in April. Other classes were busy making money with individual projects, to help BA.

The teams did not always bring home a championship trophy, but in the eyes of the student body they were winners. The team mem- bers didn’t lose hope, but gave all they had until the end. March through May was filled with softball and baseball. The Lady Vikings coached by Miss Gwen Walton, fared well with a second place finish in the Eastern Division. Hopes ran high throughout the entire season that they could, for the second time, win the championship. Un- fortunately, Mecklenburg won the decid- ing game and grabbed the championship from the Vikings. Two of the Ladies were chosen All-Conference, Terri Howerton (right field) and Trina Gibbs (catcher). The baseball team, led by Coach Mike Lynch, showed intense enthusiasm as they tried to make their way to the tour- nament playoffs. The Varsity Football team struggled through a tough season under the direc- tion of Coaches Don Martin and Dave Newsom. Practice began despite the heat of summer in mid-August. The boys played extremely hard, but due to the lack of interested guys to play, inumera- ble injuries, and team conflicts they end- ed the season with a 0 and 10 record. Late in the season, disaster struck when the majority of the players were stricken with impetigo. The Junior Varsity team played a rough season, under the guidance of Mr. Michael Lynch, and gained the experience they will use in later years of their foot- ball careers. The season’s record did not show the hustle and feelings the boys expressed during the season. Long hours of practice, beginning in early August, and great team effort paid off well for the Junior Varsity Girls Bas- ketball team. With many new players, the team eased through the season with a 10 and 0 record, which increased to 1 1 and 0 as they won the playoff game for the VAAC championship. The team was guid- ed by Coach Gwen Walton. The Varsity team did not fare as well as the JV but played just as hard. The girls had many tough games and came out on top in quite a few. Injuries during the season hurt the team, but they managed to bring pride to BA. They ended the season with a 4 and 6 record. With high expectations, Mr. Jim Wood- ruff led the Varsity Boys Basketball team through another year. The squad showed great sportsmanship and skill through the entire season, and the experience paid off for them. The JV team, under the direction of Mr. Michael Lynch, gained experience to be used in later years. The boys worked together very well and ended the season with pride.

After many hours of long hard work, I can now sit down and appreciate the many things others and I, myself, gave up to give you, the students of BA, this yearbook. As I look back through the pages of Viking ’76, I think of everyone who, in any way, helped me bring this yearbook together. I hope everyone will be pleased with at least some part of Viking ’76, but I realize that not every- one will be thoroughly satisfied. The staff this year has been very great to me, and I know they have had to put up with a lot of my complaints and interruptions. I thank them for working so diligently and taking some of the burden off me. I would like to especially thank Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy, our sponsors, who stayed at BA many nights until eight and nine o’clock proofreading copy and layouts. To the staff members who gave up holi- days and Saturdays, plus many after- noons, I am truly thankful. This year was hectic for me, but I have enjoyed every minute of working on Viking ’76 and will always remember the fun and laughs we had. As always there were the faithful few who gave more of their time and effort to work on Viking ’76. To these people 1 send a special thanks— Gail Clary, Pat Norwood, Pier Ferguson, Mary Ann Watts, Mike Thomas, Marshall Harris, Teresa Malone, and Cheryl and Becky Clary. The other members of the staff gave up quite a bit, but these were there whenever I called on them. Without the sponsorship of the busi- ness community our work would have been in vain. The promoters of Viking ’76 are very special people to us; they not only wanted to advertise their business, but longed for some way to help BA. A big thanks to all the promoters of Viking ’76. You don’t find devoted sponsors like Mr. Blick and Mr. Creasy in every school, and BA is very fortunate to have these two willing workers. At times they might have felt we thought we could get along without them, but this book would not be before you now, had it not been for these two. Thank you both!
