Culpeper High s first basketball team, formed in 1923, is ready for action. Proving that chivalry is not dead, gymnastics team members Oinnie Reams and Tim Ryder spot Debbie Gore for a back flip.

Girls’ Track Team Wins Second in State — Boys and Girls Form Coed Tennis Team — New Stadium Planned. These headlines are just one result of the many great revolu- tions which have taken place in the field of sports. Today, women are becoming more and more involved in athletics as the equali- ty of the sexes is brought to the fore front. Females can no longer be denied the privi- lege of playing on previously all male teams unless the school provides a team specifically for girls. Although this problem has not yet arisen at CCHS, it could occur at any time in the areas of cross country or football where no girls’ team exists. However, another major innovation has taken place at CCHS. Boys and girls now combine their efforts to form the tennis and gymnastics teams. Another revolution has been the much greater emphasis on the importance of sports. Today educators have realized the necessity of training the body as well as the mind. Therefore, a significant amount of money is now appropriated each year specifically for the propagation of the athlet- ic programs, and plans are now in the making for a new stadium to be built in the near future. Sports have finally gained their rightful place in the school program, yet changes are still taking place daily. Who knows — in 1985 our star quarter-back may be a girl! 4

In early Culpeper, citizens had little choice as to where to do their shopping, but the prices at the few stores that did exist were reasonable. For example, everything at Latham ' s Five and Ten, pictured above, was in ac- tuality a nickel or a dime. Today these same items would cost anywhere from three to twenty dollars. Sure prices are exorbitant, but at least Culpeper is now blessed with a variety of stores located downtown and in the two shopping centers. Many people still go out of town to do their shopping, but most have found that it pays to “try Cul- peper first.
