Like any other red-blooded American high school we have our distinct social groups that make our lives fun, miserable, or at least interest- ing. There is the group that stands up at pep ral- lies, the group that girl-watches every morning, the group that plays pinball at the Hop-In”, and the group that secretly smokes in the bathroom. We have our cheerleaders and basketball stars, our scholars and students who waste away the days sitting impassively in class. Beyond these social groups lie our individuals: the girl who hates watching TV, the boy who reads anything about football, the girl who loves making jigsaw puzzles, and the seventeen year-older who still builds snowmen. Small town living accentuates our individuality, and makes what would otherwise go unnoticed in a big city seem like a major hangup in our small sphere of life. Enjoying classical music and litera- ture, or wearing the wildest new fashions are things that we confine to the home, our best friends or our imaginations. In our school crime and racial problems amount to nothing. Everyone minds his own business, and we get along if for no other reason than being politely indifferent. We are all just plain folks living in a just plain community, being ourselves, but at the same time making sure we are not too different from everyone else. What we do in our spare time contributes to our individual- ity. Scott Thompson finds satisfaction in assembling and shooting model rockets. Individuality 7 SUMMER a new beginning Summer, vacation time — fun! Most students related sum- mer to echoes of that laid-back, take it easy life; how- ever there were those who continued to participate in extra-curricular organizations throughout the summer. Four students, chosen for academic and leadership abili- ty, had only six days to bask in the delights of vacation before bustling off to Boys and Girls States, sponsored by the American Legion. For seven days, Gregory Womack, Tracey Estes, Nancy Davis, and Ruth Minnix resided in college dormitories, set up model state governments, and participated in caucuses and elections in an effort to study Virginia government. Bernard Tisdale packed his bags and traveled to the Governor ' s School for the Gifted. While attending, he studied the sciences and humanities. Several novice journalists traveled to Longwood Col- lege, where they attended a four day Yearbook Workshop sponsored by Del mar. Cheerleaders were required to at- tend a camp at Longwood College also. Band members attended camps where competitions were held. Marsha Gee and Lawrence Moran received awards for outstanding performances at the University of Richmond ' s band camp. Majorettes and the pom-pom squad won ribbons for their performances at a conference held at Lynchburg College. Beginning on August 10, football practice officially kicked off. Shortly afterwards, under new head-coach Chippie Chappell, the team shut-out our famous arch-rival Nottoway, 6-0 in a scrimmage game. Although the majority of students found summer to be a lazy time, many lost track of the dreams of shade trees and lemonade, for a time, in order that they might share in beginnings of a completely new school year.

But these were our special echoes and Lunenburg was our small universe. Our concerns and aspirations revolved around the people and land of this county. Until we left high school, our lives and actions were dominated by the people we met every’day. Lunenburg County and Central were our special place, the place we always remembered as home. 10 Beginning of School Beginning of School 11 . .. u , !

REMEMBERED 12 Beginning of School j On September 8, the freedom of summer ended and teenagers were bounded by routine of school. This ! dull, familiar routine washed over the ' not so routine beginning of school. Most students gladly forgot that tinge of panic caused by uncertainty and anticipation. That horrible, gross feel- ing was implanted in the freshmen mind forever, but even they could not remember details of the first month. Confusion of the jammed parking lot, mistake of listening to the ninth and tenth grade pep talk instead of the ; upperclassmen lecture, and bewild- ' erment of sitting in the wrong home- room for hours escaped the memory. The handy phrase, “I could not find my classroom, ” faded as a means of explaining tardiness. Only during the noise and bustle of the first pep rally did students accidently miss the assembly and go home instead. Cen- tral’s Anything Goes, with all it’s laughter and excitement, highlighted school’s opening. Boiling undercur- rents, caused by the proclamation, “Smoking will not be permitted any- where on school grounds and will be punished by an unquestioned three day suspension,’’ flowed during first week of enforcement. Defensive feel- ings of hurt pride over new and seem- ingly elementary report card forms evaporated quickly, leaving old ex- planations of low citizenship grades archaic. Students hurriedly solved the problem, devising new excuses. Voices of some teachers quietly outlining the newly formed orientation policies evolved into yells and screams when these teachers caught students doing English during the groups. Impish play of deliberately failing the second ori- efitation test was soon forgotten. Familiar morning rituals; meeting in the library, talking in the halls, or sweetening up a teacher, slipped easily into place. New absenteeism policy accounted for confusion. Students often forgot their excuses and, by giv- ing the explanation, “I did not under- stand what I was supposed to do,’’ smuggled in late excuses. Beginning of School 13 14 Clubs ij ' oys for tots.

Clubs “The best thing about school clubs is that they get you out of class once a month for meetings.’’ Yes, teenage people deserve this break from classes and need the opportunity to hold meetings, plan activities, raise money, and help their community. They need to practice being part of an organized body before they get “out in the real world.’’ Unfortunately not all students take advantage of the opportunity to become involved in outside activities, and these are usually the students who complain of boredom. Both school and community offer club memberships, but the choice to participate is solely the individual’s. Victory Pep.

Cheerleaders had to keep cheering to the end, even if fans gave up. In September, when most students hadn ' t even thought about joining dubs, the cheerleaders had long been on the job, yet still had a long season ahead, with football, girls basketball, and boys basketball. Between their daily prac- tices, they somehow found time to sell note paper to pay for the cheerleading camp they had attended at Longwood during the summer. No matter how rough a day they ' d had, the cheerleaders had to stay after school to learn new cheers, coordinate jumps and lifts, plan pep rallies, and find ways to get school spirit up. Often these same girls had to return at night to cheer at games. The cheerleaders were really busy before Homecoming planning the special days of the week, selling bubble gum and suckers, cheering at the bonfire and the big pep rally on Friday afternoon. Then, and at all other pep rallies, the Pep Band helped the cheerleaders raise spirit by playing songs and keeping the beat. The Library Club also began in September. Members gave up their study halls to help Mrs. Cocks in the Library. They checked in and out books, put them on the shelves, decorated bulletin boards, socialized with their friends when they came in, and generally became assistant li- brarians. School spirit soars as the Pep Band blasts out the fight song during pep rally. 16 Clubs ' wrinr Diligently filling out passes, Nancy White spends her study halls working in the library.

When an over- crowded parking lot forced the football fans to park on the front lawn, there was the Key Club directing traffic. Then, when thirsty girls basketball fans developed parched throats from yelling, they were present again, this time selling cokes. With so many football fans, naturally the ground be- hind the stands got dirty. The Senior Tri-Hi-Y coped with this problem by cleaning up during KOPE week, Klean Our Polluted Environment. Although the janitors had been there first, the girls found their share of trash and also put up posters to discourage further Uttering. The senior Tri- Hi-Y held their induction ceremony in October at the Victoria Presbyterian Church. During Homecoming Week they also sold spirit chains. The entire Yearbook Staff and three girls from the Literary Magazine Staff spent a weekend at Charlottesville in October. They attended special classes at the University of Virginia, sponsored by the Virginia High School League. The ' 76 Sword and Shield won a first place award. The Marching Chargers hustled every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon after school to learn and perfect new routines and music. Between times the majorettes, color guard, and pom-pom squad were kept busy making their new black and white uniforms. Although they stayed at school practicing, the Marching Chargers also traveled. They competed in the state fair in Richmond and every Friday night performed at football games. The SCA sponsored the big fall social event, the Harvest Dance. Students, dressed in everything from leisure clothes to formats, boogied to the music of the Artistics. For one week music played over the intercom before school in the morning and posters lined the halls. They publicized the sale of the ' 77 Sword and Shield. Before, during, and after school, faculty and students could buy on either plan A, pay in advance, or plan B, pay on two installments. This early selling indicated how many books should be ordered. i Key clubbers Kelly Thomas and Haywood Hendricks sell drinks at a basketball game in order to raise dub money.

The FFA Forestry team partici- pated in the State Forestry Judging Contest while buses transported the T I and CIA dubs as far as North Carolina and as near as South Hill. After being carefully unpacked in Augusta County, the Forestry Judging Team: Tracy Estes, Timmy Newcomb and Bernard Tisdale, placed third in the State-Wide Com- petition. Bernard Tisdale placed second in the individual competition while Tracy Estes placed third. The team figured tree volume, found tree value, identified the species of trees, and planned timberstand improvement. On November 17, Mrs. Helen Barnes and Mr. Tom Pa! mo re uncrated a busload of CIA and Physics students and marched them inside the Morehead Planetarium to examine many celestial displays. They also saw two shows: one on constellations as seen from the earth and another on mechanics of celestial motions. Taking a day from regular school activities, the T I club toured the Lawrenceville Brick Company and Home Crafts. At the Lawrenceville Brick Company the students watched brick being made. Later at Home Crafts in South Hill, these students witnessed the building of Pre-fab houses. Third place state forestry judging team composed of Timmy New- comb, Tracy Estes and Bernard Tisdale display method of finding tree value. Trade and Industry students Donnell Capers and Samuel Foster practice bricklaying during class. Clubs 21 NOVEMBER After a J.

They began organizing, holding regular dub meetings, taking trips, and entering contests. The Senior Tri-Hi-Y helped Girl Scouts collect usable toys for Toys for Tots . These dolls, games, and stuffed ani- mals collected were distributed to needy children for Christmas presents. The Junior and Senior Tri-Hi-Y i went to Lee- Davis High School in Richmond to elect district officers. While there, Jeannie Jeter was elected to be a page at the Tri-Hi- Y Model General Assembly. ' For the first time in ten years, DEC A hosted the DECA annual fall rally. Nine schools throughout the f fifteenth district participated in the rally which con- sisted of two parts. First, all members watched the movie Future Shock and then created their own ver- sion of the Gong Show with Gary Taggert of WKL - WBBC radio in Blackstone as Master of Ceremonies. ' FBLA members conducted two activities by attend- ing a fall workshop at Long wood College and visiting Clay ' s Rest Home in Blackstone, where they sang. AH business students were required to take spelling and math tests. Four students received certificates for achieving perfect scores: Madeline Smith, Lynda Kunath, and Lori Tisdale received awards for achieving perfect scores on the spelling tests. Deborah Bagley was the only person to hand in a perfect paper on the math test. For three days, twenty -six girls practiced cheers and routines in hopes of becoming Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders. Pat Bigger, Sylvia Woodruff, and the Varsity Cheerleaders selected eight girls to cheer at all of the J. V. Basketball Games. Since the Varsity Cheerleaders had decided to make new uniforms for basketball sea- son, the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders wore last year ' s Varsity uniforms. These girls practiced together and, with the help of the Varsity Cheerleaders, learned all of the latest cheers. November 23 NOVEMBER DECEMBER FULFILLING FINALE can ' t believe it ' s a girdle! The new girdle on the market, the compact calculators used in math classes, the dehydrated foods found in grocery stores, all of these items found their way into American homes and businesses as an offshoot of extensive space research. This was the lesson science students learned when NASA delegate, Mr. Allison of Langley Air Force Base lectured as a guest of the CIA. Because the Literary N a az x e staff was not given a school period in which to work, the staff sacrificed their Monday afternoons in order to finish the magazine before Christmas. Patti Bowman edited material, completing the book which sold 150 copies. Another Yearbook deadline had to be met on December 15th. Reporters wrote copy and drew preliminary layouts, while editors organized materia! and finalized pages. With their director Mr. Warren Powell, the Chorus per- formed a Christmas concert at Nottoway and Bluestone. As a participant in Title III, the Chorus took part in programs created to increase public interest such as the public Christ- mas concert held at Central. After performing at the Christmas conc ert, the Band immediately began preparing for AH Regional Band audi- tions. Practicing for the auditions paid off for several Band members who were placed in the concert and symphonic bands. Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Warren Powell, sings Christmas songs at public concert. 4 lectu TisdalS Mlison ihgws CfA mefigber Bei fe new I dckpt designs.

Clubs 25 DECEMBER FUN-FILLED FESTIVITIES Clubs spread Christmas cheer to the community, school and mostly to themselves. Three KEY CLUB members contributed to the Victoria Christmas parade by construc- ting the banner for the Kiwanis parade entry. Both Tri- Hi- Ys built parade floats. While JR. TRI-HI-Y girls were in the school shop warmly creating their float, SR. TRI-HI-Y girls were subjected to freezing outdoor temperatures in a member ' s carport where they built their third place win- ning float. The urge to sing seasonal carols gripped both Tri-Hi-Ys. The Key Club joined the Sr. Tri-Hi-Y in night time caroling and refreshments in the school cafeteria. The Jr. Tri-Hi Y caroled and had refreshments at Mrs. Gee ' s house where they presented Mrs. Gee a poinsetta. The FRENCH CLUB and SPANISH CLUB sang carols in their respective lan- guages at the school Christmas assembly. The FHA spread seasonal cheer by creating stuffed animals and filling stockings for local kindergarteners. The Sr. Tri-Hi- Y helped Girl Scouts collect toys for underprivi- leged children. Santa Claus Va dis Shupe arrived at the annual Sr. Tri- Hi- Y Christmas party for underprivileged children. Bright eyed children received early Christmas presents,and ate refreshments before striking down two pinatas and pop- ping balloons. The FBLA traveled to Clay ' s Rest Home one night and they entertained senior citizens with songs and games. The ANNUAL STAFF held a Christmas party and exchanged handmade gifts. Kitty cats abound in Home Ec. room where FHA members Sue Snead, Patti Estes and Brenda Townsend flaunt stuffed animals and stockings. During the Christmas assembly French student and dub mem- ber Celia Williams and Donald Gee sing Joy to the World in French. 26 Clubs Clubs 27 JANUARY and FEBRUARY Mid-Year Mania Band members formed a dub so that they could add a little life to the task which they performed each day. The first meeting of the Band Club was held in January, and was attended by sixty -five members and sponsor C. B. Haskins. Eighteen band students traveled to Robius Junior High School in Richmond to participate in the District Hi All Regional Band Auditions on January 15. Of the eighteen who tried for AH Regional Band, two placed in the Sym- phonic Band: Bernard Tisdale first chair and Lawrence Moran sixth chair. Carrie Jennings placed twelfth chair, Tony Jones first chair, Judy Davis second chair and Patricia Carter twenty-first chair. Sallie BaskervHie was a first alternate. SCA members Jeannie Jeter and Tony Jones met with the school board at their monthly meeting. The Pep Club attended all or as many basketball games as possible to support the cheerleaders and the players. With the coming of February, various dubs found ways to celebrate Valentine ' s Day. Three clubs participated; the Senior Tri-Hi-Y, the French Club, and the Junior Tri-Hi-Y. The Senior Tri-Hi-Y held their annual Sweetheart Con- test for three days, students voted on male students by dropping money into the container of their choice. On Valentine ' s Day Chris Francis was announced the Sweet- heart of the Year. As people left the Senior Tri-Hi- Y table, they proceeded to the French Club ' s quarter of the lobby and tried for French Kisses. Students were given candy kisses if they drew hearts from the box. Hurried by the urgency to get in the last dead line, the yearbook staff again called for the aid of Jimmy Gee to take club pictures. Giving up an entire day, staff members ushered all dubs to the gym for a picture-taking session. The DECA Chapter attended the leadership conference at Richmond. Members of DECA Chapter participated in ten different categories against fifty-two schools from the Capital District, only placing in two. Students who placed were Wanda Overton, third place Job interview I, and Linda Lyons third place Job Interview . For the days of February eighteenth and nineteenth Chorus members practiced for the All-Regional Concert, on February twentieth at Petersburg Senior High School, Chorus members from all over the district presented a concert for the general public. Run down to the stock yard, find a note, run to Hop-in, find another note, and then to the Chevrolet. This was the list of the items proposed by veteran Monogram Club members for inductees to find during the ever popular scavenger hunt. During the day of slave treatment. inductees suffered under commands of Club Members. Exhibitions of skills such as how to correctly wear a lady ' s slip and football players demonstrating the cor- rect way to act like a monkey up in a chair during lunch. Thirty new members were accepted into the club after going through the day of humiliation. Members of the International Thespian Society heU its first meeting this month to promote theatrical interest in community and school. Central Forensics Team competed in the district meet at Longwood College. The overall team standing was second behind Cloverhill. Individual placings were as follows: Nancy Clarke first Girls ' Humorous Prose, Ruth Minnix first Girls ' Original Oratory, Bernard Tis- dale second Boys ' Original Oratory, Sue Wilkinson second Girls ' Serious Prose, Jo-Jeen Rusak second Extemporaneous Speaking, Dale Cordle third Boys ' Original Oratory. 28 Clubs Hazel Estes, hoping to help the contes- tant of her choice during the Sweet- heart Contest, drops a coin which counts as a vote into the container of her sweetheart. Without any choice, inductees into Mon- ogram dub push chalk down the hall with their noses; a command given them by veteran members.

AcTivixiES By way of television, newspaper, and radio, students witnessed the election and inauguration of a new president, the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia, the execution of Gary Gilmore, and other events. But students got no closer to these events than scientific communication would allow. Events closer to home interested Chargers. Most were glad to see the over-emphasized Bicentennial go, but were sorry to face a natural gas shortage which was worsened by a super-cold winter. Students involved themselves in activities outside the routine school day. They took part in hobbies, field trips, special projects, and anything to liven the school year.

Chargers joined hands and cir- cled the fire while a dummy resembling the opponent burn- ed in symbolic victory. Homecoming Week — tension and excitement hightened. Ac- tivities sponsored by cheerlead- ers such as Chew’em Up Day”, which legalized bubble gum, reminded students of the forth- coming game, 2 |nd built hopes of a victory. Tri-Hi-Y sponsored Spirit Contest” created rivals among classes for the longest chain. Thursday began the climax. A werewolf, a baby, a mule skull called Andy, 50’s fans and other characters roamed the halls on Spirit on the Loose Day.” Thursday night, the bonfire blazed and confidence shone. Shouts for victory deafened ears during Friday’s pep rally as a mock burial for the opponent Eagles was staged to build up assurance for the night’s game. Football ushers carried a casket holding Johnny Dalton, dressed as a beaten enemy. Woeful mourners followed wailing and whining in feigned agony. The honorable Reverend” Collins Thomas read the Eagles last eulogy. At 3:05 the bell sounded, and students rushed from the rally. Half-Time: the score was 0 to 0. Dread and a touch of fear sketched frowns on spectators’ faces. This gloom was over- shadowed as the Homecoming court stood before the crowd and Linda Zava was crowned Queen. During the second half of the game. Chargers won their longed for prize. Saturday, the Homecoming Dance vibrated with light-heart- ed laughter and vigorous body motions. For one entire week, usual routine had been forgot- ten while the need for winning Homecoming Game concerned those who were a part of Central. (: HOMECOMING 76 Homecoming 37 October; Time to Begin Thinking of Prom, Publications and College On the Globe . . . Mao Tse-Tung, Chairman of China died, leaving Hau Kuo-Feng to become successor. In Our Nation . . . Three Presidential debates and one Vice-Presidential debate took place. This was the first time an incumbent President had ever debated his op- ponent. Around the Town . . . A summer drought finally ended. Lunenburg County received govern- ment aid for crop damage. Considerations for the future: Ju- niors and Seniors kept busy through- out OCTOBER with such tests as PSAT and Armed Forces Test. A bus load of future college students trav- ed to John H. Daniel Community College to talk with college represen- tatives. Educational vans arrived, in- troducing local community colleges and highway safety. The Junior class peddled magazines to raise money for the prom. Things looked glum, but as last they reached their minimum goal of $4,000. Prizes for selling certain amounts added in- centive, and Chuck Castle received the high salesman ' s award. With an im- portant decision to make, the Class of ' 78 met and voted to change the class ring ' s traditional state sea! to a sym- bolic Charger. Looking toward graduation. Se- niors shakily ordered caps, gowns and announcements. On the day of picture taking, each student smiled for the camera. Later that month. Seniors concerned themselves with choosing the best proof for senior portraits. Literary magazine and Annual Staff spent a weekend attending VHSL ' s annual workshop in Charlot- tesville.

As early as the beginning of school, Grits and Fritz and You ' ve done a good job Jerry, seemed to be uppermost in most people ' s considerations. Throughout the election, students managed to keep a steady release of enthusiasm flowing. Buttons, bumper stickers, private debates, and political rallies expressed involvement and created enthusiasm. History and Government classes sponsored a mock election. In this school election, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter defeated repub- lican encumbent Gerald R. Ford by a vote of 221-169. After all the national votes were tabulated, students had successfully predicted the national mood: Students knew that it was time for a change. By advertising Jimmy Carter on his hat, Lawrence Moran hopes to sell his candidate to other students. CHANGE Jimiiiy CARTER Walter MONDALE One of the Carter Mondale posters found all around school the week of the Social Studies ' mock election. 40 Election ' 76 Trying to convince Ford supporter Tommy White to vote for Carter, Diane Williams offers him political pamphlets concerning Carter ' s political views.

President Ford has experience. Senator Mondale is loud. Jimmy Carter has a nice smile. Senator Dole is a pineapple. Senator Mondale is a turkey. Ford favors building up the defense. Election ' 76 41 THANKSGIVING RUSH Involvement in national concerns peaked with the Presi- dential campaigns and Central ' s mock election held on November 2nd. During lunches students voted for the candidates of their choice; Carter won the student elec- tion. Government and History classes took advantage of the election and studied its process in depth. November 6th, 8: 15 A.M., Juniors and Seniors speckled Jeffers Auditorium of Longwood College and waited to begin the SAT and Achievement tests. Juniors and Seniors also went to the John H. Daniel Community College for College Night. Representatives from many state and out of state colleges and universities held discussion groups for students interested in their school. Students happily slept late and stayed at home on the fifteenth of November while parents had their day at school discussing problems and generally getting to know the teachers. Seniors showed up at school on the fifteenth and traveled to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to see Agatha Christie ' s Mouse Trip . After the play, students fled to Bonanza and surrounding restaurants to fill empty stomachs. Physics class visited Morehead Planetarium at Chape! Hill, North Carolina, on November 17th. Students gazed at a dome ceiling transfixed into imaginary sky with stars projected on the ceiling. As part of the course assignment. Physics students star gazed at home and charted their observations. Mr. Thomas Palmore lectured about centrifu- gal force and gave demonstrations concerning the force. Concert Band and Chorus entertained with traditional Thanksgiving music and Mr. Sidney Faucette gave a speech to the student body during the Thanksgiving assembly. After the school day was over, teachers and students gladly left school for a short two-day Thanksgiving holiday. In Our Nation .. .

Students and Chorus members remain preoccupied with the coming vacation. This long line of county people arrive at Central for the much talked of swine flu vaccination. Six weeks later the mass innoculation would be discontinued. November 43 90 MINUTE RUSH Kusliing to lunch became a way of life. Through- out the year, announcements concerning this problem were expected ever so often and generally ignored. The fact of life remained; if you want to get in the front of the line, run! After the mad storm down the halls, came the problem of lin( -breaking. Angered students either tapped their feet or followed suit when someone broke in front of them. The SCA, with the coopera- tion of Mr. Faucette, started a system that they hoped would stop breakers. Tlie plan stated that a person caught breaking would receive an unexcused absence. W hen the person accumulated three unex- cused absences, he faced a three day suspension. All things we!it well until students tried to heat the system by asking friends. to buy two lunches. This strategy was halted when Mr. Faucette stated that anyone caught buying another person’s lunch would be treated as someone breaking in line. “ e are here to serve the students,” said one cafeteria worker. Serving students was just what they did as seven cafeteria women worked from 8:30 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon preparing 625 lunches. The vegetables and salads sened regidarlv, provided in part by the federal government, reminded everyone that nutritional requirements were being met. Tradition meant fish on Friday. The cafeteria was also a place to meet friends and relax. At times, one could see things such as teachers sitting and eating with students. Another sign of relaxation was the absence of table etiquette. There were also signs of over-relaxation. On one occasion, a student dropped his fork and spoon in the trash can and put his milk carton in the pan of water for utensils. Trash was seen regidarly hut this trash proved that students had arrived and survived another lunch. 44 Cafeteria I A matter of survival, Ricky Wliitmore joins the crowd as it sweeps j students toward cafeteria. Allowing some students to go to lunch 5 ' minutes early did little to relieve the rush. i 1 Faces seen everyday, cafeteria workers Mae McManaway and i Eunice Fitzgerald go through the daily routine of serving 3 lunch j periods — a time amounting to 90 minutes. 1 The long wait for lunch begins near the office, continues through the ' hall into the cafeteria and finally ends in the lunch serving room. ; Laverne Jackson and Barbara Bagley pass the time by talking. Only uninhabited time of the day, lunch period gives Helen Donovan, Sara Burnham and Dianne French a time to relax and talk.

Taking advantage of the situation, James McCook sketches on the board while Roland James draws Mr. Chapman’s attention away. 46 Classroom Activities EXTRACURRICULAR CLASSRCOM ACTIVITIES What were your favorite classroom activities? Studying? Taking notes? Working problems and exercises? Don’t be silly! Teacher thought you were taking notes, but really you were writing a letter to cousin Henry, Aunt Agnes, or your buddy across the room. Of course, if you wrote to your pal, you had to get it to him, so you passed it from person to person all across the room. Then, he had to answer, and . . . What else went on behind teacher’s back? Probably the best pictures ever drawn were done in class on notebook margins. People who wanted their art work to last a little longer sketched in their text books, or carved on their desk tops. Instead of the 3 R’s, you studied the fine arts of playing tic-tac-toe, flirting, and getting the teacher off the subject. These courses probably do you more good in life than the author- ized ones because you can fall back on them. After graduation you may be- come a professional tic-tac-toe player. If you can’t handle the tough com- petition, you can always fall back on your second course, flirting, capture the heart of a millionaire, and settle down. You’ll probably never have an opportunity to use your third R, so you’d better hope one of the other two plans works out. Plotting and carrying out evil tricks also took your time. Thanks to your tender care,’’ your teacher’s poor plant kicked the bucket before mid- term. You didn’t stop with plants though, you also bugged your buddy. Among other things, you tied his belt to his chair, and he disrupted the whole class when he tried to get up to sharpen his pencil. How do you sup- pose you ever passed with all that going on?

Classroom Activities 47 A FIRST A MUSICAL FOR CENTRAL The last dress rehearsal brought to an end a month of long, nightly prac- tices for the production of Godspell. Directed by Central ' s Drama teacher, Dennis Dewey, the Fine Arts De- partment produced the first musical play in the school ' s history. Cast members learned choreographed dance movements under the guidance of Patricia Dewey. The musical selec- tions were memorized under the in- struction of Warren Powell. The tech- nical crew smoothed kinks in the lighting while acoustical engineers combatted the poor sound effects due to the gym ' s high ceiling. Costume, make-up, and publicity committees detailed and publicized tbe play. Au- diences ranged from two hundred to three hundred. They showed their appreciation with applause and a standing ovation on each of the three nights of the show played, December second, fourth, and fifth. On December eighth, fourth period was cut from its usual hour to only ten minutes. Students were delighted with the season ' s first snow and the school day ended at noon. Eleventh grade General English classes and Seniors journeyed to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on the fifteenth. Students saw a review of Sir Noe! Coward ' s song and wit entitled Oh, Coward. Three days before Christmas vaca- tion, senior portraits arrived. Seniors, often excused by subject teachers, rushed to the office and bookroom to pay for and pick up their pictures.

The countdown began the first day school reopened after Thanksgiving; twenty-six days till Christmas! Pros- pects of two weeks without school preoccupied every student and inter- ferred with daily routine. Mishaps tended to be overlooked and mischiev- ous misconduct seemed less childish than it normally did. Christmas fever spread evenly throughout school. Christmas involved the community, and workmen could be seen twisting decorations around light poles in both Kenbridge and Victoria, thus opening the season around the towns. Several school dubs draped crepe paper over tobacco trailers in freezing weather, waited for an hour because of a delay, and rode down Victoria’s main street in the parade held on December third. Overnight, decorations appeared on house doors and, miraculously, snow found its way inside business windows. These festive doors and win- dows were evaluated by out of town judges. As Christmas approached, Santa found his way to the towns and was met with great gladness and prac- ticed goodness. Central did not escape the season and the halls, bulletin boards, show cases, and cafeteria walls were decked with “The Twelve Days of Christ- mas. ’’ A ten foot tree, project of the SCA, consumed the lobby. Cafeteria workers served a turkey dinner com- plete with candy canes. The last day of school was packed with activity, finishing classwork and exchanging presents. The Christmas assembly, held during fifth and sixth periods, was crammed with Chorus and Band selections, French and Span- ish carols, the teachers singing a song, and a sing-a-long under the tree. “Merry Christmas’’ echoed from ev- erywhere as the bell rang. Prayers for a white Christmas re- mained unfulfilled, but Santa man- aged. New Year’s was ushered in with parties and Guy Lombardo. The snow that had missed Christmas hit after one Monday back in school. Two weeks of Christmas vacation was topped by almost two weeks’ absence because of snow. Easter vacation melted while white flakes fell. 50 Christmas Mr. Penguin, not native to this terrain, stands tall, surrounded by white paper snow, as he rides down Main Street during Victoria’s Christmas parade. Holly, spotlights, red ribbon, and the faint glow of a Christmas tree in the window is the award winning combination that spruces up the house of S. P. Chappell. Kids everywhere have patiently awaited Christmas vacation and Central students bustle out of the gym to go home to enjoy the long-awaited vacation. CHRISTMAS COMES AT LAST Christmas 51 THE GIRL I USED TO KNOW MARY FRANCES PERKINS Born — June 16, 1959 Died — January 2, 1977 Long faded memories, replicas from long ago, these are the things that made you, the girl I used to know. Old faded jeans, wrinkled posters on the walls, feelings only we shared, incidents only we dared. Grass-stained knees, mud on our faces, in top of an old oak tree was our unique hiding place. Being young women, little did we know, our future would require, these memories to inspire. God chose to take you, the candle starts to fade, with our treasures from the past, in my heart you shall ever last Long faded memories, replicas from long ago, these are the things that made you, the girl I used to know.

Dark tobacco sales resumed for 3 weeks in January. Mixing and matching and switching creates many differ- ent outfits for Leslie Hamil- ton during a fashion presen- tation. Cold weather or not, farmers selling dark tobacco stack trailers and trucks and hope for high prices. 52 January LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW! A white covering over the county ' s terrain gradually lost its novelty and became an accepted part of the sur- roundings. For the entire month of January, Central did not remain open for the entirety of any one week. Every- one took advantage of the extremely odd weather and, for the first time in years, enough snow covered the ground to build a decent snowman, go sleigh riding, and make snow angels; there was enough snow for many to wish for rain. The four days the school board allowed for snow in the school year were quickly exhausted and make-up days began to pile high. Exams were delayed three times and were finally pushed completely out of traditional January and into February. Teachers adapted to the weather and began giving assignments a week in advance, making the days missed for snow no more than school away from school. By the end of January many students wished for nothing more than that the snow be stopped while others still hoped for more snow and more days away from school. As the weather continued, with the temperature read- ings from 0° F to 20° F, jokes from weather forecasters became slim and the fuel supply in Virginia and the nation lowered dangerously. Talk of Governor Godwin dosing public schools became more than a rumor when all schools serviced by Commonwealth Natural OH Company were forced to dose. Relief for optimistic teenagers failed this try, since Central was heated by electricity. AH over the nation thermostats were lowered to 65° in an effort to conserve energy. Many large factories and businesses were forced to dose, thus laying off thousands of workers. Between the snow storms several special interest ses- sions scheduled by the guidance department were con- ducted. On January 14 Miss Leslie Hamilton, the Fashion Coordinator and Public Relations Representative from Kings College in Raleigh, North Carolina, presented a Fashion Workshop. Members of Home Economics classes, FHA, art classes, the Stenography II class, and the Clerk- Typist II classes learned tips on fashion design and clothes coordination. During English 12 classes on January 27, Seniors met with Mr. Mattox, financial aid officer for Southside Community College, who explained the equation which determines a student ' s financial need, and advised many about scholarships. ■f ' Dried, brown grass picking above snow fails to ' dis(tburage bundled up students who pass snow days sfbddin Ldown Victoria ' s mountain. “The Best Years of Your Life?” The phrase heard often, “These are the best years of your life,” seemed very unlikely to those living through the ups and downs of “growing up.” Besides the fun and games each teenager shared with one another, there were many problems that were also mutual to most, but expe- rienced and dealt with differently by each individual. During high school years, teenagers began realizing the importance of friendship. Playmates turned into confi- dants and soul-searching partners. As a part of his adult training, each person went through the agony of making, and more importantly, keeping friends, thus learning his responsibilities in human relationships. Loneliness was also an ever present threat, and teen- agers discovered that friends were an important element in combating this situation. Although friends helped, there remained times when loneliness was inescapable. It was during this time that the frightening question of “what’s it all about” was dealt with. The problem of what was right and what was wrong troubled teenagers trapped between friends and moral expectations. Each teenager was forced to examine life and to decide what it would hold for him. The question of “what do 1 do after Central” seemed easy to anyone except Central stu- dents. During his high school years, a teenager’s life was more or less planned. Another vital and painful teenage experience arose when boy met girl. Acne, weight, hairstyle, clothes, and make-up suddenly became some of the most important considerations. This desire to appear attractive was com- mon to both boys and girls and usually had the opposite sex as its fuel. The need to have that special someone underlined the teenagers’ need for love and communi- cation. As they grew older, many tepnagers began to under- stand and relate to their parents. Teenagers felt growing unrest as they dealt with the problems of money and the demands of others, thus teenagers could understand their parents’ pressure. No matter how far this understanding extended, the inability to get along with parents arose every so often. A problem more frequent to some, teen- agers lacked the closeness to parents that insured peaceful co-existence. Every now and then, teenagers became frus- trated and muttered of their parents “they just don’t understand.” The lack of local activity, and for many, the absence of transportation to get to the action, plagued teenagers living in a rural community. Perhaps because of this problem, the question of teenager conformity became acute. With a limited amount of people and even more limited oppor- tunities some teenagers found it difficult “to do their own thing.” School, the biggest complaint of many, was an unavoid- able pressure which had to be faced each week. Boredom was a well-known companion, and students yawned, slept, and day-dreamed through many classes. No student totally escaped the problem of teachers. Each student had his own special or “not so special” teacher. Teenagers also com- plained about the rules and regulations that had to be followed, saying these school rules were binding and limit- ing. And then there were the major problems and consider- ations; the ones which took up most of the teenagers’ time. Like deciding whether to wear the patchwork or the pink shirt with the blue jeans; or which perfume suited today’s mood; or whether to go to the game or do home- work. Chatting before school, Debbie Wilkinson and Carolyn Brooks show what friends have in common by both dressing up on “Spirit on the Loose Day”. 54 Problems Routine Reinstated Exams were scheduled on the fourth, fifth, and seventh of February due to snow days. Students dreaded getting up early on Saturday, the second day of exams. Seniors who had a ninety, or above average for the first three six weeks were exempted. On the tenth, all periods were cut short so that the student body and faculty could watch a Boys ' Basketball game, rescheduled during school because of snow. This game was against Prince Edward, the result was Chargers winning S3 to 75. Junior academic English classes and several drama students traveled to Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on the seventeenth and saw one of Shakespeare ' s plays, Hamlet. Students glanced out of classroom windows, and saw snow flakes falling. School dosed an hour early February the eighteenth. Special Education classes, taught by Gail Watkins, and new to the county, provided special attention to students who needed it. A new absenteeism policy was introduced. Each student was allowed to miss twelve full days, or twelve periods from any class without any question or approval. After these twelve absences, the student and his parents were allowed a hearing to explain why the student should receive credit for the classes missed. In The Nation . . . The Supreme Court upheld the government ' s right to fix tolerance standards for pollutants discharged into rivers. About the State . . . Governor Mills E. Godwin, Jr., ruled local governing bodies to maintain lines of communication with employers but upheld his opposition to public employees ' collective bar- gaining. Around The Towns . . .

SpORTS Not everyone is the football quarterback or the all-district basketball player. The football center and the basketball manager work right along with the celebrated people. These average students are just as important to their teams as the stars. There are other sports which are probably more enjoyable than the organized school teams. Cold weather brings mostly male students outdoors to hunt rabbits, quail, and deer. However, both sexes participate in Sunday afternoon football games, fishing, bike hikes, and canoe trips down the Meherrin River. Finally, there is the “sign of spring”: frisbees; scarcely a spring day’s lunch period passed when someone wasn’t throwing a frisbee around on the front lawn. Sports 63 All eyes focus on the ball Confusion reigns as three Fluvanna Players tackle Carlyze Winn. Confidence is the key, and at Homecoming pep rally, the students and football players prepare for the coming ordeal. After a long losing streak, and coming to the conclusion that thoughts of having a winning team were dreams, a sudden miraculous thing happened. It all began with the winning of a scrimmage game. Things looked good, but there were still doubts about whether or not the season would be a good one. As the first game opened, it saw Charger fans flocking out to see the team. Faces beamed with excitement and wonder as fans departed from a game well worth attend- ing. A score of 17 to zip set the winning pattern for the season. The team continued to rack up victories. Fans became accustomed to seeing their team win. As the chill factor dropped lower, spectators steamed into each game. Coaches stood on the side lines and shouted orders, directions, and often encouragement. A firm hand on the shoulder and a slap on the back expressed praise for something well done. 64 Footballl FOOTBALL CHS Opp. Cumberland 17 0 Goochland 30 0 Randolph Henry 28 7 Fluvanna 3 0 Buchkingham 42 18 Amelia 6 18 Prince Edward 10 0 Powhatan 16 6 Brunswick 20 12 Clover Hill 0 34 Wins 8 Losses 2 Girl’s Basketball JUNIOR VARSITY CHS OPP CHS OPP Clover Hill 30 57 26 13 . . . . .

Amelia player in check. prt ' s B etbali l| i ' I i: The challenge for this year’s Girls’ Basketball team formulated early. Since many first string starters had grad- uated last year, few varsity players held confident playing experience. The change from a Double A to a Single A District exposed the team to unfamiliar opponents. A new head coach and fresh players gave the team a “new start.” In August, the ordeal of making the team began with long practices and confidence building sessions. The excite- ment of playing filled the first games, but the reward of winning waited until the fourth game, which was against Cumberland. The season ended for the Chargerettes when Buckingham won the second tournament game. For the first time. Central boosted a Junior Varsity team, consisting of ninth and tenth grade players. Practic- ing and playing along side the Varsity, the J.V. Team gained nine wins, losing only three games. CHANGES After the disappointment of losing their first game, the Junior Varsity went on to win the next twelve games. The outlook for the Varsity was not so good. After winning the first two games, the team went into a game against Prince Edward that began an onslaught of losses. As suddenly as this snow fell, the losses changed to victories and the outlook became brighter. When fallen snow refused to melt and ice accumulated on roads, games were cancelled repeatedly. Soon the deci- sion was made to postpone all games until the weather conditions became better. As the weather began to break and schools which had been closed because of the gas shortage reopened, a new problem faced coaches and teams. A conference of coaches and officials decided to run four or five games a week rather than the accustomed two. In spite of this sudden confusion, the Varsity often left the opponent behind with unmentionable scores. Although the losses outnumbered the wins, the team placed fifth in the district.

All our pictures lined up together look like those of every other high school yearbook: most are smiling, some are not; some are thrilled to be here, most are not. Like every other high school we take all the “goodies” like English, Math, and Science, but we’re not like every other high school— we live in Lunenburg County. Going to a small school doesn’t mean that we’re all “hicks” but it does mean that we all feel the effects of mall town and country life. ' . fternoon delight.

Is high school preparing you for your career? These were a few of the questions that speech students asked other students during lunches. By interviewing, learning a new phonetic alphabet, and other means. Speech students learned how to speak more effec- tively. Drama gave students the opportunity to learn mime tech- niques. Once Drama I students learned how to climb the glass wall , other students around school were climbing glass walls too. The Drama II class acted out plays, and, for one project, acted like different kinds of animals. Speech and Drama students both learned new ways to communicate more effectively and confi- dently.

Never increase the pressure on your drafting pencil; never draw over a line free handedly; always pay attention to the circle you are drawing, or else your circle may end up an oval. Drafting students learned quickly that absolute attention must be given to their 3-D drawings if they desired precision. Building Trades students also discovered the necessity for precision. Bricklaying, wood construction, electrical wiring, plumbing and general mechanics all required a great deal of caution and skill on the part of the aspiring construction workers. Drafting and Building Trades alike, prepared students for a future in building. Cleaning up, the easiest job in Shop, is not the most rewarding task for Scott Marker and Johnny Dalton.

Distributive Education students gained experience as they stood behind the counter selling pen- cils, pens, paper, notebooks, and erasers. Class began every day with a lesson on advertising, prevention of shoplifting, or self-service selling, but ended with laughter and stories about on-the-job experiences. Most D.E. students had after school jobs, but Mr. Sunbury kept a watchful eye for openings for the unemployed. All Distributive Education students belonged to the DECA club. They participated in many projects and traveled places, but nothing compared with planning and holding their own rally. DECA members from neighboring schools flocked to the fall rally where they played the Gong Show. Chargers dressed with pillow case heads and one as a duck danced their way into third place. Mealtime was more fun for the students than it was for the clean-up crew as the students preferred their chicken salad on the cafeteria walls, floors, tables, and chairs rather then in their stomaches. Even though there were a few mischievous students present, the rally was successful. Stanley Hawthorne effects a business transaction with Judy Davis in the D.E. Your order please?

Probably so if you took science. Rocks aren ' t all you ' ve got in your head, though. There are also rivers, stars, chemicals, and even frogs. In the beginning you discovered Earth-Space science. Here you saw the formation of the earth, stars, and far-away planets. The next step was life: Biology. Students, shocked by the arguments over the evolution of man, began falling off their stools; but they picked themselves up in time to see open-heart surgery performed on a frog. Student volunteers pricked their fingers and gave a little blood, not to the poor dying frog, but to Mrs. Potts to determine their blood types. Students were on their own as they moved up to Chemistry, now on the work at your own rate contract system. Students performed experiments to observe physical and chemical changes, but the most obvious change was in the students themselves. With the simple addition of goggles and aprons they transformed from normal students into bug-eyed Dr. Jekylls. Despite popping nitro- gen and smelly gasses, the worst task for the young chemists was washing dishes. The final science available was Physics. Since the students couldn ' t charter a rocket ship and blast off into outerspace, they settled for the next best thing, a visit to Morehead Planetarium. One night as they huddled out on the football field searching the heavens through the trusty telescope, they zoomed in on Jupiter and five of its moons, as well as our own moon. Another night this group gathered on Mrs. Barnes ' s farm to photograph star trails. This class had really put their energy into motion. Bernard Tisdale measures to discover how much weight and force it takes for Jo-Jeen Rusak to move an object in Physics. See Anything? Mrs. Potts focuses the microscope and scans for organisms while Jeanette Davis watches in Biology.

Why can ' t everyone else just use what we do and leave things as they are? It ' s too much trouble to learn to multiply and measure all over again. Headaches arrived when memorizing metric terms began to dominate classroom activities and were com- pounded only by the ever-abounding factoring in Algebra, the deriving of theorems in Geometry, and the memorizing of formulas in Trigonometry. Although Math struggles will not be quick in part- ing, the actual procedures of those long, extremely confusing problems and formulas, the actual spelling and definitions of all of those complicated terms, and even the 1001 excuses that were concocted to explain the sudden disappearance of your non- existent homework paper, however, will be forgotten— probably less than a week after the test!

SOPHOMORES SWEATY SOCKS AND STEERING WHEELS What do you do when you ' re standing half naked in the locker room and the bell rings? You grab your clothes, throw them on, run down the hall with your clothes on backwards, and slide through the door of your next class just as the tardy bell rings only to discover you forgot your book. Let ' s not forget all the fun in gym class, though. There is something for everyone: dancing, field hock- ey, crab soccer, basketball, football, weight lifting, volleyball, tumbling, and softball. All this is still only half of the subject. Twice a week there is health class. While the Freshmen are studying diseases and self-health, the Sophomores are learning, in the first semester, how to drive, not to mention how, during the second semester, to spot mental illness and retardation. To add meaning to those dress out days, always remember the purpose of Health and P.E.; healthy body, healthy mind, unhealthy tardies.

It was in Home Economics class. You worked forever, or so you thought. You had to rip the zipper out three times and you sewed the sleeve in backwards. Finally you finished. You were proud of the first thing you had ever made, but all you said was, Yuk! You didn ' t even attempt your home project. Mother made it. She got a C . Then there was cooking. You made cookies, but instead of sugar, you put in two cups of salt. That was your lucky day! The teacher never knew because you burned them to a crisp. The classroom was nothing like you expected ei- ther. Little did you know when you signed up for Home Ec. that you didn ' t just cook and sew. No! You had to know about vitamins, money management, and home furnishings, too. Wow, it was a great year! You get the answer? Finding answers to their Home Ec questions isn ' t always easy as Betty Jones and Laverne Jackson discover. Meal time.

Both foreign language classes take up basically the same subjects, just different languages. They study the history and geography of France or Spain, sing songs, sample foreign foods, explore the lifestyles of the people, practice customs, and actually become Frenchmen and Spaniards for 55 minutes daily. o 3D m CO Foreign Language 107 FRESHMEN FRESHMEN EAT, WORK AND BE MERRY Agriculture shop is the place to grab a bite to eat before and after school, to finish last minute Junior- Senior Prom projects, and to learn woodworking techniques. In the classroom, students concentrated on many different types of crop production and farming. Since tobacco is the county ' s main crop, some students spent their summers working in tobacco or related factories. Other students pursued forestry outside, as well as, inside the classroom, for instance, in the woods Mr. Potts collaborated with students on naming and measuring trees. On some days when classes finished work early, students could sit back and listen to Mr. Potts ' fam- ous jokes.

Whew! I got an ' A ' on my English paper! I really didn ' t know if she ' d like it or not. I guess she liked it! Remember how great it felt to get an ' A ' on your English paper, the paper you labored over all night? It almost equalled the feeling of finishing your English project ahead of time, or of discovering the right theme for your short story. Never forget how cunning you felt when your English group finished a thirty minute assignment in five minutes, or the time you made a report on a book you had never read! Yes, you played a few slippery stunts on your teacher, but usually you did what you were told. Sometimes you even had fun in English class!

Seemingly without failure, Social Studies students heard newscaster Bruce Twineman repeat these immortal words every Friday. Unfortunately, television was not the only place stu- dents heard about tests and quizzes. Tests prevailed in the Social Studies class. So too did current events reports. Every Friday students flocked to the library and shuffled through magazines and newspapers for reports. Besides studying current and not so current events such as civil and World wars, students never failed to sway lectures to more humorous subjects such as drunk drivers, lively mountain folks and bygone college days. Searching for current events articles keeps Chris Jones and Tommy White busy on Friday mornings. Observing a film for an upcoming history report, Tony Robertson takes notes while Mrs. Cocks watches. 112 Social Studies Rosemary Williamson Lisa Wilson Vickie Wingo Darrell Woodson Jimmy Zava Wanda Overby Sharon Parrish Sherry Parrish Bubba Phillips James Phillips Debra Pigg Jane Price Charles Prichett Frances Pryor Constance Ragsdale Delores Ragsdale Jackie Ragsdale Nellie Ragsdale Lee Rash Steve Reavis Elaine Richardson Delores Roberts Dean Robertson Janet Robertson Jessie Robertson Tony Robertson Pamela Ryals Donnie Ryder Chuck Schumaker Beverly Seay Vira Seay Genevea Seneker Joe Seneker Michael Shelton Brenda Smith Janet Smith Teresa Stickley Diana Still Barbara Stokes Deborah Streat Shelia Streat Linda Tharpe Kelly Thomas Ernest Thompson Arthur Townsend Bernice Tuck James Walker Brenda Watson Patricia Webb Rhonda Webb John Weeks George Welch Brenda White John White Karen White Tommy White Richard Whitmore David Wilkerson Joseph Wilkerson Nan Wilkinson Celia Williams Dana Williams Delores Williams Diane Williams Joyce Williams May Williams Patricia Williams Shirley Williams Mercedes Williamson Freshmen 113 Ms. Rebecca Thorne, Consumer Math and Math 9, Appalachian State, B.S.

At times we may have written things with which some of you dis- agree, but we trust that the majority of you can relate to our thoughts. The 77 Sword and Shield was compiled from many serious thoughts pooled together over the phone, at lunch and during 5th and 6th periods. Just what exactly was yearbook like? Sometimes it was fun, sometimes it was not. Sometimes it was funny, sometimes funny was the very last thing it was. Frequently the staff had silly days when we amused ourselves writing ridiculous head- ings, drawing crazy layouts, and thinking of terrific ways to make this yearbook different. On gloomier days, deadlines, pictures, money and copy presented their due share of prob- lems. At times it seemed that we could agree on nothing as a group: if there was any pos- sible place for disagreement we undoubtedly found it. Toward deadlines we tended to feel that we had subjected ourselves to unnecessary torture putting this book together. We found that Yearbook was much more than an academic experience. Yearbook was a grow- ing experience. From our work together we discovered good traits and talents in each other, and we learned to tolerate bad traits others revealed. Without the help of certain individuals we could not have had a yearbook. First of all we would like to thank Mrs. Dean, a first year sponsor, for her interest and enthusiasm. Especially we thank Mr. Jimmy Gee who took and developed endless pictures for us. We thank the office workers: Mr. Faucette, Mr. Staples, Mrs. Underwood, and Mrs. Jeter for their support and help. Lastly we thank all of the people who answered questionnaires and identified pictures. Mr. Jimmy Gee takes picture of Drama Club on picture taking day. 136 Acknowledgements I I i !

Sixth period study hall provides Linda Zava with an opportunity to help secretaries and obtain val- uable office experience. % Here comes the sun. Springtime light pours in to fill an empty classroom vacated by students for lunch. Morning relaxation. Norman Baty, Cindy Overby, and Marvin Estes talk and watch passers-by in the hall before classes begin. So often when we go away from home we’re asked, “Where are you from?’’ or “Whereyoufrom?” and so often we have trouble explaining. Whereyoufrom? Victoria. Where? Have you heard of Virginia? Whereyoufrom? Kenbridge. What county is that in? Lunenburg. What major highway runs through there? 40 , 605 , 653 , 712 .. . Whereyoufrom? Green Bay. Is that the home of the Green Bay Packers? Whereyoufrom? Dundas. Where’s that? Near Kenbridge. Where’s that? Near Blackstone. So? Have you heard of Fort Pickett? No. How about Richmond? That sounds familiar. Whereyoufrom? Blackstone. How can you go to Central if you’re from Blackstone? Because I live in Lunenburg County. Blackstone’s not in Lunenburg. I don’t live in Blackstone. But you said . . . My rural route is Blackstone, I live in Lunenburg. What? Forget it.

You’ve been part of that year: you were interested enough to flip through these pages and maybe even read about us. You probably found that we’re a lot like every other high school with similar ups and downs. We are just like every other high school, and we are different from every other high school. We’re close to the earth here, and close to each other. We’re juST pUiN Folks. Lazy days. Easily inspired by the warmth of the sun, Clifton Barksdale and Steve Reavis talk of quiet summer days soon to come. 144 Closing There was a time when everyone was packing up and heading for the city. Now everyone is coming back to the country. They want that special, earthy feeling of living close to nature. ' ,‘� ;v y : .■;.f ZD� r1� w.«5 ■ V. ••.:■ -lAV— j
