The high school years were some of the most memorable and when we looked back only the good memories emerged. We don ' t remember the hundreds of sentences we had to write or the many hours spent in detention hall. We only remember the fun we had. We remembered the crazy times of get¬ ting lost and being late on the first day of school in the eighth grade. Then as fresh¬ men having the excuses of “I couldn ' t get up the stairs, there were too many people.” Even with the excuses we didn’t receive very much hassle.

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.
