A group from the Culpeper tennis team was sunbathing while watching their leaders Page Chichester and Doug Woodside play. The Varina tennis team had formerly described the Culpeper team’s game as “backyard tennis .” This phrase re¬ ferred to the fact that their teams had been coached by a professional tennis player and Culpeper’s had not. These sunburned, barefooted, barechested Culpeper spectators truly complimented their rustic image. Soon, they would defeat Varina to win the second place title in the district. So much for professional tennis coaches!

They were celebrating their triumph at a Jaycees carnival in Spot¬ sylvania. While there, Sandy Via chanced her last quarter on a game and won! Her prize was a one and a half foot stuffed doll — Woodstock, the little yellow bird in the Peanuts comic strip. The team adopted the doll as their mascot and named it Lucille. Lucille,” a popular song by Kenny Rogers, was the team’s them e song. The doll followed the team to all its matches, but as a lucky piece, it proved fickle. Sometimes fhey won; more often they lost. The team’s sea¬ sonal record was a disappointing 5-7. As a token of their warm esteem, the team presented the mascot to their coach Mary Weaver at the Spring Sports Banquet. It was May 14th and Varina was host¬ ing the District Championship. 12 Sports

FEATURE Homecoming Brings Spirit Increase Homecoming, usually the most predictable event of the year, experienced minor growing pains. Traditionally, the spirit chain was sponsored by the SCA raising a total of $411 with the seniors on top. The decorating of the halls temporarily added a splash of color to the high school’s freeways. The class of ’78 came out the winners in this competition. The dance was untraditionally given on the night after the game. This provided more time for decking out for the affair. Couples and stags were equally welcomed, but the couples terrifically outnumbered the loners. The band Family Reunion kept the fingers snapping, the hands clapping, and feet stomping. Forty to nothing against Varina showed the school what the Blue Devils were really capable of doing. All considered, it seemed that spirit during homecoming was on the rise. Given a little room for growth, the students’ spirits grew in leaps and bounds. RIGHT: Cheerleaders Belinda Tibbs, Valarie Coleman, and Lisa Jones take a break during the homecoming game.
