The fall air was filled with the music of the times and Parry McCluer’s auditorium and gym were filled with waltzers, jitter- buggers, square dancers, people doing the “Monster” and the “Bump” and people just plain tapping to the music. A Homecoming Dance, on October 4th, highlighted the football game. Everyone was doing his thing with music provided by Voyce. The DECA Club sponsored a sock hop in the gym to raise money for their organiza- tion. While they raised money, everyone else was raising ..... It proved to be a suc- cessful dance! It seems that every Junior Class lacks some money that they need in order to sponsor the prom and this year’s class was no exception. So to help themselves out a bit, the Juniors gave a sock hop which was DJ’ed by Darby James of W.R.E.L. Radio. The Parrimac staff presented a new type of dance; they called it the Necking Dance. Price of admission was the width of one’s neck times ten cents. Everyone then had to select his or her favorite paper tie before entering the dancing area. The students responded to the Rock-n- Roll music, danced their way through the fall, and proved that “the beat goes on”. You mean to say that he gets paid for that? he: ‘ae ee. @ eaeeoee® ies, Bag Soe aoa Happy faces reflect the mood of the dance. ge Le A C

The win was the second straight of the year for BV and tied the Blues with Riverheads and upstart Natural Bridge for the Alleghany-Highlands lead, all with 2-0 marks.

Saturday night on the Rebels’ field, Parry McCluer laid its claims to this year’s title by laying a 13-0 defeat on the 1973 title-holders. Hard-hitting and opening- game jitters accounted for generally sloppy offensive play, but solid defensive efforts by both teams and some wicked tackling provided thrilling action for perhaps the largest crowd ever to witness a battle at Rockbridge. This is the first time in recent memory that such a key game has come on the season’s opener for area schools, as the Allegkany- BMeghia Pe aR A Ee Black who crossed the goal line untouched. Barry Staton slugged the PAT through the crossbars for the 7-0 margin that was to be all BV would need. The game’s only other score came with 8:38 to play and was the result of a 41- yard drive following a Rock- bridge punt from the Rebs’ own nine. BV displayed the only consistent offense of the game on that short drive, getting two first downs and reaching the Reb seven. A bobbled exchange put the Blues back to the 14, but from there Bruce Black swept left end for the score and a 13-0 margin. Thé PAT was flubbed, but BV had the contest under control.
