Be Ra “ DANGLING FROM THE NOOSE, senior Timmy Williams participates in the Haunted House, which was organized for community youth. HAUNTED HOUSE As the weather grew cooler and the days got shorter, fall activities began to take up the students’ days. These activities involved many students other than those involved in athletics. On a sunny September Sat- urday, bands from all over Vir- ginia competed at the Municipal Field in the annual Band Day. When the marching died and the dust cleared, G.W. of Dan- ville won Class A honors, while J.D. Bassett captured the Class B trophy. October brought out the pumpkins and Indian corn, but it also sent many students to the Haunted House held at Glen Maury Park. The Halloween per- formance at the old Paxton house was officially under charge of the Enderly Heights PTA, but high school students did a great deal of work. For the second year, the Jun- ior Class sponsored a rock con- cert to obtain funds for their prom. A preview performance by Freedom Jam was given to the high school and middle school students in the after- noon. The following evening, the band again performed, but the crowd was smaller than that of the previous year due to the Thanksgiving holidays. Late in the fall, the Drama Club presented their produc- tion of “Brother Goose’. The action was humorous and pro- vided an interim activity be- tween fall football and winter basketball seasons.
