As the day draws to a close, one lone Charger strolls down the hall planning things he will do once he gets home. 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.
