aotasaaa umiT]ep ew Tear Fop Yeapbool Staff, (qipis’ Bagfyetball O n June 23, 1976, seven students and two haggard Viking sponsors returned from a four day workshop at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. Rather than from June through August, yearbook staff members’ vacations lasted from February (the final deadline for the Viking ’76) until the workshop. The Delmar-sponsored event was designed to improve staff members’ skills in ail aspects of yearbook work. Between seven or nine hours’ nightly breaks for sleeping, “the magnificent seven,” together with Mr. T. E. Blick Jr. and Mr. F. C. Creasy, Jr. attended sessions and lectures in copy and caption writing, layout design, picture cropping, and other areas of work. Every summer, interested staff members take part in the workshop. Eor three staffers, Mary Watts, Becky Clary, and Marshall Harris, this was the second trip. Sidney Brown, who no longer attends BA, also participated for the second time. Later, girls assembled in the gym for a basketball camp, in which they attempted to improve their skills in the sport. In August, the actual team was chosen. Meanwhile, many students were working. Tobacco crops, which were planted in the spring, were harvested. While this concerned mostly Brunswick County students, farming students in Greensville began work for the fall’s peanut crops. Non-farming students who worked held jobs in other areas, such as at stores or gas stations. Those remaining found other ways to oc- cupy their time. Coach Gwen Walton sponsored a summer softball league on the school softball field. Sports enthusiasts and others swam at Lake Gaston, the beach, or local pools. Golfers tried to improve their scores, and tennis players worked at their game. For many, the school year ended with the final exams. For others, such as yearbook workers, and basketball and football players, the new year was Just beginning. 26 — Doing— Summer
