Required classes brought back memories, some good others bad. Each student was required to take Physical Education. This class offered natural athletes a chance to excel. In the way of Science, eighth graders were required to take Science 8. This class was followed by Biology in the tenth grade. Other required classes included Math, English, and Geo¬ graphy, or History. All in all the classes taken offered enjoyment to the avid student or distress to the poorer student. Getting into the spirit of the Presi¬ dential Election, Patrick County forecasts Ford as the next presi¬ dent. Mixed emotions are shown on the faces of these eighth graders during the out¬ door pep rally. Catching the eye of the photographer Mike Terry, Ronald Stowe, and Kenny Carter act surprised. Doing his homework and concentrating on the camera is Timmy Turner. Opening 7

The fast moving year of 1976-1977 has left numerous memories to be stored in the minds of the students. 1976-1977 was a year for the Presidential election, changing times, and cherished memories. For the Eighth graders the year brought new friends and experiences. Trying to remember names with faces proved easy as these faces be¬ came friends. With a year under their belts the Freshman class felt glad they knew where they were going and didn ' t get lost. Displaying their interest in the presi¬ dential election are Scott Smith and Johnny Kastretsios. For the Sophomores the year was happy as they no longer were considered inexperienced and could go to the first assembly. The excitement of Junior class rings led the Juniors to look to the future. For Seniors last minute preparations were made in order to send off applications, order invitations, and caps and gowns. Each of the classes of Patrick County High combined to make an interesting and eventful year. Trying to get into rhythm are Jimmy Gil¬ bert, Tommy Hutchens, and Barry Williams. Members of Mrs. Axel- sons’ Biology class dis¬ cover how a biotic com¬ munity grows. 6 Opening U Hi 1
