atriotism was the dominant spirit displayed in the Bicentennial Day pageant on April 30, 1976. Under the direction of Angie Nash, class of ’71, grades kindergarten through 12 re- created historical events enthusiastically. Headmistress Mrs. Jessie Wood, board members, their wives, and guests entered and were seated. Indian feathers, tri-corner hats, and long dresses were the attire for the day. The chorus then entertained with Hall Squire presenting a solo. Students, faculty, parents, and other guests enjoyed a free meal after the pageant. Sounds were pre-recorded by Mr. Thomas Blick, Mr. Fred Creasy, and Mr. Rich Clary.

Tears, Joy Mingle At Graduation A fter 12 years of school, seniors found that they were leaving behind a special part of their lives and about to embark on another. With exams, last minute prepara- tions, and practices upon them, students looked back over the past years. Mr. M. R. Atkinson, former assistant headmaster, delivered the baccalaureate address on May 30, 1976. He emphasized the importance of graduates accepting their roles as adults and developing into mature individuals. On June 3, seniors “calmly” lined up. Junior marshals Gail Clary, Darlene Clary, Martha Robinson, and Pier Ferguson led them down the aisle. After speeches by valedictorians Angie Clary and Virginia Walker, and salutatorian Jennifer Jones, awards were presented to worthy scholars, and diplomas dispensed by Mr. W. H. Hawthorne and Mrs. Jesse W. Wood, the graduates marched out for the last time. As the last senior disappeared through the door, a shout of joy and accomplishment was thundered. 1976 ACADEMIC AND CITIZENSHIP AWARDS Art Clements Mayes Billy Vaughan Sportsmanship ....
