Drawn from the entire county, students in Culpeper High School travel over historic soil to and from school. Town students walk along the streets where 17-year-old George Washington served as county surveyor, commissioned by the College of William and Mary; where the famed Minute Men gathered before they marched away to take part in the first battle of the Revolution in Virginia; the spot where stood the old court house in which the I 6 Justices of Peace protested the Stamp Act in 1765 and resigned their commissions; and, where during the War Between the States, more than a hundred thousand Federal soldiers were encamped within the limits of Culpeper County with headquarters in the town. Those students who ride one of the twelve buses coming from the various sections of the county likewise ride where some time in the past, history making events took place. Spread over the territory from Brown ' s store on the Madison road, across the Sperryville Pike, the Eldorado road, and as far as Muddy Run on the Rixeyville road, Federal soldiers encamped on the areas crossed by many of the school bus routes. Over what is now the Brandy road near Inlet station, General J. E. B. Stuart ' s whole command passed in review before its commanding general, Robert E. Lee, the day previous to the fierce battle between Federal and Confederate cavalry, in which about I 5,000 cavalrymen were engaged. Buses cross the Cedar Mountain battlefield seven miles south of the town of Culpeper, where Stonewall Jackson met and repulsed the attack of Banks ' corps of Pope ' s army, driving the Union forces through the town. In the following section you will see pictures of the boys and girls who come from the historic territory described in the previous paragraphs, and who constitute the five classes of the high school. In the picture the loaded buses are ready to return the students to their homes in the county.
