We the people of Virginia Created the first settlement In Jamestown. Yorktown became the birthplace Of freedom As the Revolutionary War ended. We are the Mother of Presidents And of the Father of our country. From the Blue Ridge Parkway To the Bay Bridge Tunnel, From mountains to seashores, We are a state of scenic beauty.

The Adams’ House still stands as A monument of Radford And as a reminder of the time when Union cannonballs bombarded Our town. We have seen the town of Lovely Mount grow and become The city it is now. We the people of Radford High School Are a self-governing state within Ourselves. o We are the breath and inspiration, The soul support of our ideals. ° At RHS we grow from lunch lines To graduation lines. Taking advantage of each new freedom And liberty, We learn to rationalize, To experiment, To make ourselves a voice In the school. We learn to use our discoveries, To support ourselves; Each to become his own person. Our voices are small, Our numbers are few. . But we are the people who will learn, Grow, and make ourselves a place. We will change the world a little And build a name for ourselves. We may seem very insignificant We are a part of a Very small School In a very small town. But we are the people Of the United States, Of Virginia, Of Radford, Of Radford High School. The spirit of yesterday, Today, And tomorrow.

Noun, verb, noun, no, noun, linking-verb, noun, writes Albert Mah. Where the Worlds of Imagination Way to go Sally, you ' ve really done it this time,” sneers Ben Selvey. English at RHS includes grammar, creative writing, and literature. In studying grammar, we cover every- thing from correct punctuation to complex-compound sentences; in creative writing we express ourselves on topics ranging from our personal philosophies to writing short stories; and in literature we read stories from the time of “Beowulf to the Beatles.” “Carl, what is that in your hair, asks Clifton Thompson. “Pages one through WHAT for homework, asks Russell Patton. Creation and imagination make a good English paper. 12 English and Reality Meet Gary Shelor amusing. “Hey Carl, you want to shake up your mouth,” asks Allan Goad. “Curt, look at this story I found in this issue of Canterbury Tales,” explains Dwight Irwin. r English its verbs and nouns And teachers who wish Students’ grammar was sound! f _ ■ Are you telling me the truth? Is Rena really reading a love letter?” questions Denise Dodson. Susan Wagner prefers a profile shot. English 13 A Different Land Latin, Spanish, and French are the three foreign lan- guages offered at RHS. Stu- dents have also shown an in- terest in taking German. Students really get excited when they start a language and can say Hi! to someone in a different way. Students can start Latin in the eighth grade and can start Spanish and French in their sophomore year. Two years of Latin and three years of Spanish and French are offered as elec- tives. The students learn to communicate in the language of a completely different land and culture. Some French students got to try their French on Parisians in France last year and it really is a thrill to actually communicate. The classes celebrate some foreign holidays such as the Mardi Gras, South American Independence Day, and the Ides of March. So learning can be fun — especially in foreign language classes on a holiday. Tommy Jervey checks Kerri Trahin’s mood according to her ring. SPANISH Delores Vest tries to teach Ronnie Burris how to conjugate Latin verbs. 14 Languages A Different Culture L is for Languages Latin, Spanish, and French And books whose pages Make learning a cinch. LATIN Helga Weschke and Carlton Duncan take a break from their French lesson. FRENCH Denise Dodson seems to be camera shy, while Charles Tarasidis is hamming it up in French. Spanish students Diane Lyons, Diane Thomas, Anna Sutphin practice their vocabulary words. Languages We Learn FronSl Jeff Thompson recovers from his exciting That’s my last sheet of paper, weekend during Government class. Do you think you belong in the 14th century or are you sure you belong right here and now? You can find out where you belong in the Social Studies classes. Everything from the first caveman to the astronauts is included in these classes. They bring the history to you. After all this is our country’s bicentennial year — History is important! Students can choose from Histo- ry 8, World Geography, World History, Virginia and United States History, and Virginia and United States Government. One of these is sure to show the impor- tance of you in history today. Mary Goodykoontz decides to have a sit down strike because she wants to play High Rollers. 16 Social Studies r 00 Years of Experience It ' s just been one of those days. “And that ' s the way it was two-hundred years ago,” ends Brad Harvey. SS is for Social Studies And some students who feel History comes with as much ease As inventing the first wheel! Katie Beale discovers the world of others. Social Studies 17 M is for Mathematics And the magic it might take To work a problem with a matrix And pass for your parents’ sakes. David Craig concentrates on his graph. Computing and Solving Tommy Crigler takes a quick review before his Algebra test. Math students take a break from their work. Ten new calculators, the Math Rally, and new books were all a part of math classes this year. The calculators eased the work load (especially on test days) along with giving them blistered push button fingers. The math classes offered are Math 8,9, and 10, Alg. I, Alg. II, Geom- etry, Trig., and Math Analysis. The higher math classes took a test to see who would compete in the region IV Math Rally on December 10, at Rad- ford College. A pep rally was held to cheer Becky White, Bob Swindell, and Bob Hayes on to the contest. The Math Analysis class learned special cheers such as Ra-Ra-Rain Becky use your Brain, Ra-Ra-Ruff Swindell you can Bluff, Ra-Ra-Ress Bob you can Guess! Karen Gallimore helps Barbara Fraley with her Trig, while Marinda Keck looks like she is beyond help. 18 Math Scott Harris finds it difficult to keep his mind on his math. Algebra I students prepare for another day’s work. Mike Canales wonders what Mike Bishop finds so interesting in his Tracey Harvey and Judy Mumpower breeze through a Trig test. Discovering the “Why” and the “How” Ronnie Wheeler wonders about the scientific method of cleaning up water. S is for Science Solar systems and stars Which might not make sense But will help you go far The science department of RHS is made up of Science 8, Science 9, Biology, BSCS, Chemistry, and Physics, Science 8 and 9 gives us an all-around view of physical science while the Biology, BSCS, Chemistry and Physics classes branch out into a specific section of science. Science students are intriqued by what the teacher is saying. Bill Cunningham meditates about his biology. Ginnie Garth, Ramona Ratcliff, and Delores Vest consider lab the best part of science Class. 20 Science Physics students can ' t seem to figure out which direction they’re supposed to face. Daryl Booth and Bobby Keck pay rapt attention to their science lecture. Charles Tarasidis checks to see if his row is in line. Jan Baxter shares a private joke with her friend during science class. Terry Phillips sighs as he works on another Chemistry worksheet. Biology students smile in relief as they find out they don ' t have a pop quiz today. Science 21 Healthy Bodies Ping pong anyone? % Tanya Brecia puts everything she has into it. It ' s mine ana you can t have it , screams David Craig. Michael, I told you to stop putting those little furry things on my back. Linda Wagner finds the Oakleaf photographer more important than P.E. 22 Physical Education Build Healthy Minds The P.E. department at Radford High School is divided into two classes, health and P.E. Health class meets every other day. In health the students learn every- thing from keeping nice and clean to driver’s ed. What happens the days you don’t have health with Coach Purcell, Mrs. Gallimore, Coach Hall, or Mrs. Sandidge? Well, you have P.E. Phys. ed. gives the students a chance to try out their muscles by playing all kinds of games, tumbling, run- ning, and by learning how to walk out of the shower without falling. P.E. is required of all 8th, 9th, and 10th graders, and offered to juniors and seniors. to Physical Education 23 Future in Business World Eighth graders enjoy typing as part of their orientation class. Alene Nester practices her clerical typing. B is for Business Backspace and block. Failing a typing test BECAUSE THE KEY STAYED ON LOCK! The business classes offered at Radford High School include typing, Clerical Typing I and II, gen- eral business, and record keeping. The classes prepare students for a future in the world of busi- ness. Rick Weyer finds typing class amusing. Jimmy Lilly is so good he doesn ' t even look at the keys. 24 Business A is for Art Paintings, modern and abstract. Both of which are a part Of art and that ' s a fact. You don’t have to be an artist to take art at Radford High School. That’s the reason we have art classes. There are four years of art offered, and there is some- thing for everyone (including naturally gifted artists and non-gifted triers). The third and fourth year students each have a one-man art show sometime during the year in which they display their most artistic creations. Students learn to sketch, etch, print, watercolor, sculpt, make jewelry, and oil paint. The classes help with drama stage props and the lettering of school certificates. Helga Weschke steadily works at her art creation. Maureen Hannan tries to shape her pottery. Creating Vocational Students Craig Chrism an reads his drafting instructions from the board. In machine shop, Chuck DeHart wonders why the machine can ' t work by itself. Ben Harris thinks his blueprint would make a great senior lounge. VE is for Vocation Ed. Engineering and electricity, And as one student said, “It’s fun, but it’s gritty!’’ It ' s really hard to file your nails with drafting tools, sighs Mike Gunn. 26 Vocational Ed Learn Practical Skills Tony Robinson, Philip Young, and Deno Tuck gratefully take a break after a long work session. Joe Bakaitis loves the dramatic story Gary Butner told during voc. ed. class. What classes train students for jobs after school? DEM and DEMI Home Ec 1,11,111 General IA 1,11 Industrial Work Experience Drafting 1,11, ICO I, ICE I, Electricity 1,11 Machine Shop 1,11 Nurses’ Aide III Prac.

Radford High School has two band periods. The eighth graders meet fifth period and the senior high meets sixth period. Marching and musical talents are demonstrated during halftime shows and in marching competitions. This year the band attended the Chilhowie Apple Blossom Festival and the Southeas- tern Band Festival in Bristol, receiving excellent rat- ings at both. The band has over sixty members and during the fall they use a rifle and flag corps of four- teen members. The band is under the direction of Sam Maples along with the assistance of drum major Rita Howell, and student conductor Chuck Hite. Susan Barton, Debbie Marshall, and Julia Norse play with pride during a show. 30 Band WE PLAY THE SONGS Drum major Rita Howell pauses as the band files by.

Media Center at RHS Russel Woodrum reviews the Dow Jones average before he goes to class. i. 32 Library “I win! shouts Julie Smith as sociology students play ESP.” Betsy Scott goes into a telepathic trance. Do you have ESP ability? You can find the answer to this and many other questions in Social Psycholo- gy. The Ouija board can tell your future, and you can find out how to test for IQ’s. The class is not as formal as most classes, so you can express yourself and your feelings more openly. Interest surveys can tell you if you are superstitious, introverted, or ex- troverted, easily frightened, or any number of inter- ested aspects of YOU! The class is open to seniors who want to learn about themselves and have a great time doing it. Teresa Viers plays the psychological game, Insight. Dominica Green and Kent Calfee demonstrate the use of the . _ Kreskin Pendulum. Sociology students show mixed reactions to the results of their personality tests. Sociology 33 g| r msMm Karri Trahin can’t remember where she left her chair. SH is for Study Hall And trying hard not to talk To your best friend Paul Or to the office you’ll walk! Students at Radford High School often say that study hall is one of their favorite classes. Study Hall is a time to catch up on the homework they “forgot” to do the night before or to get ahead in some of their classes. Ronald Snell ponders, Should I stay and study or should I Joe Dove concentrates deeply as he studies for another exam, leave?” Sleep and Study Session 34 Study Hall “Munch” Room What are you eating?” questions Teresa Calfee of her friend. LR is for Lunch Room Lasagne and lettuce Cleaning up with a broom After they fed us. Food, food, and more food! The RHS lunch room cooks have what is one of the toughest jobs in the school — feeding almost 800 hungry students every day! Wait a minute, you can’t have my bicentennial quarter,” exclaims Denise English. Lunch time is munch time, especially for seniors who enjoy their extra five minutes of lunch everyday. Lunch Room 35 imstration Members of the Radford City School Board: FRONT ROW: Mr. William Hatcher, Dr. James E. Rutrough, Mr. James Howlett. BACK ROW: Mr. David Worrell, Mrs. Jean Smith, Mrs. Katherine Martin, Mrs. Frances Ingles, Mr. Luther Dickens. “Watch out — here comes Mr. Matlock!” “Oh, no, Mr. Swindell has his ‘Bobcat’ clothes on again! “Ask Mrs. Hondras — she’ll give you a stencil.” “Take all that money to Mrs. Shumate — she’ll know what to do with it!” These four people are our ad- ministrators and secretaries. They are the ones who spend most of their time just “takin’ care of busi- ness.” Behind the scenes, the Radford School Board works with Mr. Howlett and Dr. Rutrough at the wheel. They approve (or don’t approve) field trips and bake sales in addition to more complex issues such as the schools budgets, personnel, and calendar. These are the people who make the rules that keep the school system working. Dr. James E. Rutrough — School Superintendent Mr. William Hatcher — Assistant School Superintendent. 36 School Board and RHS Administration “What ' s your excuse this time? asks Assistant Principal Rom Matlock of a tardy student. Mr. Swindell, principal of Radford High School, takes time out from a busy day to pose for the Oakleaf pho- tographer. Mrs. Hondras, school receptionist, is a familiar face to students and faculty.

Our counselors become fa- miliar to us in the seventh grade, even before we are a part of Rad- ford High School. We get to know them through all of our sche- duling, tests, grades, jobs, career plans, and college decisions. Our counselors help us put it all together. They’re interested. Guidance counselors Lineburg get together fc Since Mr. Rheam became Student Placement Director, more girls have become interested in jobs. Georgianna Williams, Radford graduate, is serving as secretary to the guidance department. Randy Wright is the Director of Career and Vocational Education for Radford. PEOPLE 38 Guidance and Career Education HELPING US PUT IT ALL TOGETHER Greg Bolling, Paul Hirunrusme, Steve Calloway, Steve DeHart. Roy Calloway At 7:00 a.m., not hing could be farther from your mind than lunch. However, the RHS cooks, at that very moment, are not only think- ing about lunch, but are also beginning to prepare it. They work all morning — baking, boiling, broiling — preparing the food in their own special way. They stand daily, patiently serving eight hundred students. Of course it’s tradition to laugh about school food, but look how much of it disappears. That is proof in itself how good it is. If you don’t believe us, grab a couple of quarters, and buy one for yourself. The custodians sweep up the lunch we don’t eat, mop, clean, shine, open and shut doors, and keep the school in its cleanest form. The RHS cooks and custodi- ans are helping us put it all together. Cooks and Custodians 39 Reading, ’Riting, ’Rithmetic — Taught To Mrs. Dianna Abercrombie Ms. Betty Bakas Ms. Mary Beavers How long CAN Coach Lindon hold his breath? Mrs. Stella Bennett Mrs. Lois Carr Mr. Don Dobbins Ms. Winnie Duncan 40 Faculty The Tune of The “Hickory Stick” Mrs. Terica Fisher Mrs. Alice Gallimore “My dog chewed up my paper.” “I was not looking on his paper!” “But I have three other tests tomorrow!” These explanations are what our teachers hear al- most everyday of the school year. Some of our teach- ers believe us, bear with us, or promptly give us a zero (this is the fourth time this week your dog chewed up your paper!?) yet through it all they teach us — and maybe slowly, but surely we learn. Whether we learn what is written in our text, or if we just learn that it does no good to even try to sneak a peek at our best friend’s test paper — we do learn. Not every student and every teacher see eye to eye. But by communicating and thereby resolving dif- ferences, we grow and our teachers grow right along with us. By the time we are seniors and almost ready to leave RHS, we can look back over the problems we’ve had with each teacher and still say, “I’ve got a friend,” — or at least not an enemy! Mrs. Reese Goldsmith or 3iM STUDENT (THINKING): What happens if I ask this question and she thinks I’m crazy, I mean, I don’t even know this teacher, and the kids, they might laugh and say I’m dense. But, I’ve just got to know the answer. I’ll probably go crazy or somethin’ if I don’t know. TEACHER (SPEAKING): Now listen class, you can’t learn if you don’t ask questions now and then. You can’t be shy or scared, or I’ll never know what you don’t understand. So, if there’s something you need to ask, go ahead. That’s what I’m here for. Now, are there any questions? STUDENT (THINKING): O.K., That settles it. She said if there was some- thing I needed to know, I was to go ahead and ask it. So, here it goes, I’m gonna do it.

There are eight En- glish teachers, six math teachers, five history teach- ers, and four teachers in the science and p.e. departments. There are three foreign language teachers (one each for French, Latin, and Spanish), three guidance counselors, two nursing instructors, two librarians, two music directors and two career ed. administrators. At RHS there is one teacher for each of these departments: special ed., D.E., typing, art, general business, drafting, machine shop, home ec., clerk typing, industrial arts, electrical wiring, and one school psychologist. In addition, many of our teachers serve as club sponsors, homeroom teachers and spend more time in the . r-.j_|g t h an an y student ever will!! ‘Mrs. Hatcher, please don ' t turn your back on us , pleads the twelfth grade class.

Of all the organizations at RHS the SCA is probably the most important and the best known. Besides serving as a liason between the students and the faculty, the SCA sponsors assemblies, Homecoming, and White Christmas, revises the student handbooks, and produces the student ID cards. To hold an office in the SCA you must run for and win the office you wish to hold. It’s challenging way to get in- volved. Vic Carter, President of Student Cooperative Association “You want to use ' Love Is A Rose, But You ' d Better Not Pick It’ for the theme of Homecoming? asks Ricky Weyer. Student Cooperative Association 51 Doing Their Best For A Better Tomorrow Remember when someone in a black robe tapped you on the shoulder and the next thing you knew you were on stage holding a lighted candle in front of hundreds of people. Then you jumped when you got stuck with a pin that someone was pinning on you. Remember all the Monday mornings when you struggled to open your eyes because you had to be at school to write a proverb and later falling off the chair when you were trying to reach the board. Remember making all the cards for welfare and the hospital favors. If you can remember all this you must be one of the 51 National Honor Society members that make up the largest NHS club this school has ever had. Vice-President Mark Ammonette tries to remember if this is the day the hospital visiting committee is to go to the hospital. FRONT ROW: Kenny Smead, Debbie Webb, Anne Dickenson, Rene Mathes, R.K.

Barbara, can you pull my finger off my cheek? It seems to be stuck, says Rene Mathes. At 3:30 A.M. on the morning of an annual deadline, the scene at Editor Anne Dickenson’s house was something like this: “Does ANYBODY know who ANYBODY in this picture is?” “O.K., you guys, we have 3 layouts done — only 60 more to go!” ‘‘I need the cropper, and she won’t let me have it, Mrs. Fisher!” The annual staff began work on the ’76 Oakleaf in May of 1975. Hours were spent convincing advertising man- agers that they needed an ad in our yearbook, walking the streets searching for patrons, and straining our brains for a theme for the book. Next it was time to train all the rookies in the language and techniques of creating our very own annual. With ladder diagrams and typing sheets to follow, we made it from rookies to pros. We argued, we cried, we debated, we added color and pages — in short, we worked to make the ’76 Oakleaf a yearbook — to capture ’76 within the pages of We the 30 WEST MAIN STREET RADFORD, VA 24141 540-731-3621 Oakleaf 55 I “T D X- ' Vf) 5eetj “We Serve” 0 avH, eweMbJ V S- Olx o uv ' - ro5 f So k ucv | QO1S5P0M5 XT v ) e Nr 2 ' Q w v o ed c e Viho P o kJ |0 l € o | ho GfJ G d Xeed| C00L ' LoV5 o V Ketwioeir we, Spw-i lo 4 FRONT ROW: Terri Smith (Treas.).

This year the club collected money for UNICEF, rebuilt old toys to send to underprivileged children and cleaned the stadium to earn money. The boys in the Key Club are interested in serving others and show this by get- ting their jobs done and done well. The key to community service is helping, and helping others is what the Key Club does best!! As the Key Club listens, Coach Sterrett tells them how to better serve the community.

Besides learning to cook and sew and clean, the FHA takes gifts to children in the hospi- tal at Christmas and participates in the paper drive and the stadium clean-up. If you want to be a member of the FHA, you must take one year of Home Econom- ics, and then, you too, can be a person who “ties the knot’’ of your apron strings.

The projects of the Sr. Tri-Hi-Y this year included preparing Thanks- giving baskets for needy families, making 82 stockings and filling them for the eldery people at Highland Manor Nursing Home, sponsoring the Easter assembly, and completing at least 7 service projects. Two of the major projects of the Jr. Tri-Hi-Y were having a Halloween Party and repairing toys at Christmas for needy children.

Parade floats, bulletin boards, paper drives, club presidents, and a lot of good leadership come together to form the Interclub Council. The president of the council is the vice-president of the Student Coopera- tive Association, and the members are all the club presidents. The council organizes the club bulletin board s for the school year and allows clubs to sign up for the paper drive as a fund-raising project. This club helps to get club floats for the school parades throughout the year. The Interclub Council’s main pur- pose is to unite clubs to give them a voice in school af- fairs.

Wherever you see a big group of young boys pass- ing a football, dribbling a basketball, swinging at a baseball, or practicing at any sport, the members of the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes are not far away. Teaching younger boys the basic fun- damentals of sports is what the FCA is all about. The FCA sponsors camps for athletes to help teach them good sportsmanship and to develop their skills. The club is open to any boy at RHS in grades 8-12 and as one club member said, “I think that it’s good to have people of different ages together — it makes us closer . . .” and that is what the “Christian” in FCA means.

The club helps with the paperwork for the sports program and has a typing and duplicating service for teachers. The project of the year was to publicize and raise funds for the March of Dimes. “Service, Education, Progress” is the FBLA motto and sums up the whole meaning of the club with these three words: to serve the community, educate its members, and promote progress in the field of business.

This included a “Day of 76” in which the students dressed in historic costume, and made historical bulletin boards, and displays. They also held a book fair and a tea for teachers. They also toured a college library and had speakers come to speak. All Library Club members can ' t see Tommy Jervey ' s humor.

The groups work separately and together on folk, jazz and pop music. 76 Ensemble Club Philip Young, Gary Butner, Tim Weikel, Mike Gunn, Johnny Dalton, Charley Hoover, Skip Lawton, Joe Dove. “I Shot an Arrow into the Air” Joe Dove perfects his archery. Does that remind you of the Archery Club? String your bow. Set your arrow. Hold your arm straight. Pull back the string. Aim for the bullseye. Z-i-i-p-p. Ah well, better luck next time. The purpose of the Archery Club is to achieve better relations with anti-hunters and to improve on archery skills. It gives the archer a good atmosphere for learning with plenty of competi- tion and enjoyment. “Hey Joe — you couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn!” Z-i-i-p-p “Who said?” Philip Young shows other Archery Club members the centerfold of his archery magazine.

Drama Is . . . A Lot of Pure CRAZINESS Dana Harris reaches into the unknown at an imaginary drama prac- tice. Dwight Irwin shows realistic (?) anger toward Howard Haynes during drama. This year the drama classes felt it was time the student body saw a little more of what the drama depart- ment could do. They presented a play called “The Game,” which in a very satirical and comical way presented a game as a way of life. Then the students wrote and produced some take-offs on Coach Matlock, hospitals, t.v. talk shows, and a lot of pure craziness. Drama has been growing rapidly at Radford High School under the direction of Ms. Rhonda Murdock. This is the first year that there have been two drama classes at RHS. Their progress can be measured not only by the amount of interest being paid to the classes but also by the awards won at state and regional competition. This year, “The Lottery” was the feature play at the district play competition. 80 Drama In the spring of 1975, the Radford High School drama class won district, regional, and state honors with their production of “The Mannequins’ Demise.’’ Our drama class strode around the big stage and barked through competitions, carrying superiors all the way. How did they find such an unusual play? After reading one-acts until three in the morning, Ms. Murdock finally found “Mannequins’ Demise.” The first impression she felt then was, “It’s different.” The next morning in drama class the play was accepted hilariously by the actors, but the play was well liked by the student body. It was very symbolic, with seals barking and an ever-present chorus, and even the funniest movement and dialogue left you wondering. Although there was a slight difficulty with 36 hours of penalty hall, the 1974-75 drama play was outstanding and showed just how far drama had actually come at RHS. The RHS drama group looks ready for lots of “clowning” around in the ’75 Christmas parade. Becky Cook experiences a moment of intense drama in “The Mannequins’ Demise.” Drama 81 PROM 75 i i Mike King shows that he is ready to step out for a night on the town. i : The Junior Class officers take time from their busy Prom night for a picture.

Although the other reactions were varied, all the delegates to Boys’ and Girls ' State agreed that the food was tremendous. The delegates learned the basic principles of government by actually forming their own. They were grouped into cities within the state and everyone was elected to a city and or state office. The American Legion sponsored the event, but each delegate was sponsored by a local club. The boys attended Lynchburg College, while the girls were at Longwood College. It all happened from June 16-22, 1975. J.C. Caudell Rene Mathes • { — r Becky White Boys’ and Girls’ State 89 John Rutherford, Ricky Weyer, and Spencer Pugh were chosen to represent RHS on Klassroom Kwiz this year. Klassroom Kwiz is a quiz show on which area high schools compete against each other. It is sponsored by WDBJ- TV in Roanoke. Radford won four straight games before being defeated, and one of those games was won with a perfect score of 180. John, Ricky, and Spencer each received a case of Coca- Cola after every game so they could cool off after being under the hot lights and the cameras. The team got a lot of support from the students and faculty, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. Five seniors were selected for Who’s Who. They were chosen for their leadership qualities, execu- tion of responsibility, and show of enthusiasm. This honor will be publicized in the Ninth Annual Edition of Who’s Who Among American High School Students, which features fewer than 4% of all high school upperclassmen in the U.S. Who’S Who J.C. Caudell, Tony Perez, Vic Carter, William Raines, and Randy Boyd were chosen for Who ' s Who Among American High School Students.

What is forensics? Forensics is a tournament of speaking and reading and involves competition with students from other schools. Both the district and regional meets were held at RHS this year. The five events are original orato- ry, extemporaneous speaking, po- etry reading, prose reading, and spelling. Would you like to be a part of RHS forever? Winners at the Art Club’s Annual Permanent Art Collection Contest achieve this. Anyone can enter the contest which is held each spring. The first place entry is bought from the artist, framed, and then hung in the library for display as a per- manent part of RHS. Anne Dickenson placed first in Girls ' Oratory and Kris Brady placed second in district forensics in Spelling. Both competed in district and regional forensics.

The combined efforts of the band and chorus make the music for RHS and in the region. Ten band members placed in both the symphonic and concert regional bands along with four in the Jr. High Regional Band. Eight chorus members made all regional chorus. The tryouts for band consisted of a prepared piece, major scales, and sightreading. Chorus tryouts were based on singing “My Country ’Tis of Thee” in different pitches. The regional band had its concert on Feb. 1, in Martinsville and the chorus held its concert on Feb. 15, in Danville. The face of a talented singer! 92 All Regional Band and Chorus National Winners “On January 25, 1975, I entered my first weight lifting competition, which was in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. Because it was my first competition, I placed a low sev- enth out of nine lifts. After three months of hard training, I lifted my way to the Virginia Junior Olympics, where I captured first place in my age and weight class and set three Virginia Junior Olympic records. On July 12, I trav- eled to York, Pennsylvania, for the Eastern Clean and Jerk Championships where I won the gold medal in the 16-17 age group and 165 pound class. In the Appalachian Open Weight Lifting Championship, I placed fourth against 20- and 30-year old men. In Blacksburg, I placed fourth at the Virginia Tech Open and Region II Championships. Then came the silver na- tional medal I won for the eastern and western part of the United States in the Clean and Jerk. On November 8, 1975, I won a first in Teenage State Competition and third in Senior State Competition.” Radford’s Ben Turpin has shown his ability in many meets. He ran in the AAU Track and Field meets in the summer of 1975, several meets at Vir- ginia Tech, a meet at E.C. Glass in Roanoke, and the East Coast Track Meet Invitational at Fort Mead, Maryland, where he placed first in the mile with a time of 4:20.0. Track and Field News said of his achievements: ‘‘Ben’s mile ranks him second na- tionally . . .will be watching his progress this spring 1976.” Turpin and Farlow 93 ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★■ 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 . 94 Sports Divider r-kjrk ' k ' k ' k ' k-k ' k ' k ' k ' k ' k ' kirk k k k LET OUR COMPETITION BEWARE ’75-’76 Sports Divider 95 FRONT ROW: Jeff Laferriere, Randall Duncan, Sammy Rose, John Grapsas, Bill Keck, Joe Hayes, Steve Irby, Wesley Wall, Russell Patton, Lowell White, Steve Wilson.

It is all torn up from the halftime break. Many worn-out pads, practice gear, and old tape cover the floor along with a thin coat of slime and dirt. There is a distinct odor which hangs in the air of sweat and mildewed rubber. As the exhausted players enter the dimly lit locker room, there is a jubilant smile on each tired face. Satis- faction glistens in every youthful eye, but no one utters a word. The room is still and quiet. Dark, rich blood drips occasionally from a battered arm or leg onto the already filthy floor as everyone sits quietly waiting. The heavy odor of sweat and mildew is so great that fans passing the locker room door are forced to hold their breath. Yet, none of the exhausted players seem to no- tice the terrible odor. Silence still fills the small locker room as everyone waits patiently. The heavy door of the room begins to open, and in strut the respected coaches. There is an uneasy feel- ing in the air as the coaches proceed to the center of the room. The tense silence is suddenly broken as one of the coaches says, “That was a pretty good job to- night.” Suddenly, there is the unbearable noise throughout the small locker room of ear-shattering whoops and yells. The walls of the room rattle from the noise. Everyone is cheering and yelling because the coaches were pleased with the night’s performance. As each joyous player undresses, the laughter and excitement continue to grow steadily. Everyone throws battered helmets and soaking wet pads in all direc- tions. The literally terrifying odor of sweat and slime now hits the players themselves. Everyone heads for the showers. Many hands turn on the showers, and piercing screams fill the air as the ice cold water beats down upon the players. Many shivering bodies are quickly relieved, though, as the water gradually grows warmer: The once sparkling floor of the showers fills quickly with dirt, sweat, slime, and blood. As each player finishes, he hurries to get dressed. The terrible odor of sweat and slime is now gone. The small locker room is now filled with the thick, delicious aroma of hot food. The players are beginning to leave now one by one. The small locker room grows more and more quiet. A feeling of accomplishment is inside each player as he leaves slowly. Everyone is gone now except the dedicated manag- ers who work to clean up the small locker room. The once grimey floors are now sparkling clean, and the heavy football equipment is put in its rightful place. There is a fresh, clean odor in the air now. The small locker room waits silently for tomorrow to come. — Bob Swindell Varsity Football 99 Bob Hayes warns this Leeman not to get up again.

However, the Cats missed going to the regionals by only one game which was lost 3-2 in eight innings against dis- trict winner Blacksburg.

Team ball was the most emphasized el- ement of this year’s girls’ junior varsity basketball team. The enthusiasm of all the girls was demonstrated by the fact that there were different “stars” in each game. No one person led the team in tal- ent and the result was a good, well- balanced and spirited team. The high scorer for the girls was Vickie Lilly who sank more shots than anyone else during the season. The team worked primarily on fundamentals and it all paid off when the girls finished third in the district.

The five years have gone by — some as fast as Prom night and some as slow as the last few minutes before lunch! Now it’s our turn to graduate from the hill. Some of us don’t want to leave, some can’t wait, and some of us can’t leave! As eighth graders we ran everywhere and kept our books in “bockers.” We grew into the Freshman class and were the first people to show up at hops and Homecoming and the last to leave. Our tenth grade year we waited, enjoying a year without pres- sures. As the Junior Class we were constantly busy planning Prom, getting our class rings, and taking college boards. And now, after what seems like a lifetime, we’re the Senior Class, the Class of ’76!! Ricky Weyer, President Gen. G.C. Wharton House Radford, Virginia 134 Seniors CLASS OF 76 SHINES ON!

Being the Bicentennial Class is something we seem to take for granted now, but it will mean more later. Red, white, and blue have taken over every- thing, including the graduation gowns and the year- book. We can ' t get away from it, so we might as well learn to live with it. Some seniors feel they were born to be a senior in ‘76, while still others say, “So what?” Being a senior in 1976, two hundred years after the birth of our country, is an honor, but it is also a challenge. Start the celebration now. Cele- brate your graduation and your country’s two hundredth birthday together! Rebecca N. Cox Rita D. Cox Michael W. Daniely Seniors 139 Seniors Plan for the Future George Elmer Davis Most seniors are planning on attending college or working after graduation. The colleges that most se- niors name as their choice are Radford College, New River Community College, VPI SU, and Madison College. Many seniors are looking forward to being adults in the world today and most of them have been planning their future with enthusiasm and hope. The general feeling is that the seniors are ready to leave high school and their childhood behind and to ven- ture forward as responsible, mature people in the work they choose for themselves. Many people said they were not going to work until they had to. This might be a good idea because of the crowded job field and the tough competition for every open job. Some people hope to work during the summer to help pay for their college education and to get expe- rience on their own.

A petition, revote, and many ar- guments can occur in even the best of classes as we found out. But you can ' t bring a good class down and we proved it by finally choosing all our graduation finery! The class of ‘76 decided on royal blue robes for both girls and guys to be topped off by the patri- otic red, white, and blue tassels. We broke tradition and ordered parchment announcements, but kept the traditional gold tassels for NHS members. The larg- est class came through again and is definitely the Class of ‘76 in our red, white, and blue.

Some candidates promoted milk and dairy cows, Ricky Weyer and Van Foster — Heads and Hams Party; some encouraged us to eat, Mike Canales and Robin Hall — Kubla Khan Party. Some approached the campaign from the serious side, Karen Gallimore and Bobby Smith — Liberty Party; Gary Butner and Becky Cox — Universalist Party and Joni Pruitt and Eileen Joseph from the New Youth Party. Everyone seemed proud to be in the Bicentennial Election. The boys were victorious in the end. Even underclassmen took sides in the campaign. Mike Canales and Robin Hall are elected President and V.

Where Do We Go From Here Seniors 155 The Largest Senior Class Chuck Hite likes to get to the very point of the situation. Kippy Painter Roberts Susan Mauree n Rockwell This year, for the first time, the seniors had casual pictures taken for the annual. Casuals didn’t mean come sloppy, wear your bathing suit, or have your pic- ture taken with your pet frog. It meant that you could dress casually and comfortably. You could wear jeans and nice shirts or you could wear suits or long dresses. The pictures were supposed to represent you as you were in 1976. At first the idea of casuals sent terror through the senior class and it was not until an assembly presented the idea with examples, that it was fairly accepted although there was a small group of seniors that looked upon the casuals as a small rev- olution. The casuals, like everything else, couldn’t please everyone, but they did successfully show the personality and true image of most of the 1976 se- niors. Mike Danieley is ready to burn the roads on another hot weekend.

Rutherford Elizabeth Bundy Scott questions Mike Yuhas. Senior, Vic Carter, keeps up his dedicated work to the great Bobcat team. The class of ‘76 had 1 72 members. Being the largest class ever to graduate from RHS was a position con- stantly getting attention. The fact that we were the largest class was announced time and again during assemblies and class meetings. It seemed that the faculty and the school board were proud to be graduating so large a class from a school of o nly 800 students. Being the largest class also created problems. How are you going to put 172 seniors on stage and still have room for the senior assembly? The classes were a little crowded, the eighth grade had to miss some assemblies because there wasn’t enough room in the auditorium, and sometimes the lunch lines were a little long. But the honor of being in the largest class makes up for all of the problems. Ben Eugene Selvey Randy Semones Susie Wall modestly enjoys the opportunity of having her pic- ture taken.

In our fifth year at RHS, we are the se- niors who have earned the right to the sacred “senior privileges”. Every seniors’ watch is set with the bell to make sure we get our five minutes to make it into the cafeteria on time — and every teacher watches the clock to make sure we don’t get six minutes! Senior day is the only day when every senior gets to legally skip school! There is an exhilerating feeling of freedom inside every senior when he thinks of all the poor underclassman inside the walls of RHS while we’re on the outside looking in!!

At no time was he not smiling and his cheerfulness beaming through with every word he said. Just his presence brought life and smiles to a classroom. I can’t say what Paco meant to each of us For we all loved him in as many different ways as he gave of himself. Paco’s beauty lay within himself, in his caring and loving of others. He seemed to live his life for that moment, yet there was an unseen sensitivity about him that let him understand and respect the feelings of others. No words will ever be sufficient to describe the love he planted in all of our hearts. And just as he had so much of himself to give, we will always hold a special place in our hearts for his love. I am not crying, for Steve is now in a much better place than I am. There is no proof that he is, one just has to believe — believe what a man said 2,000 years ago. Try to believe, treasure the fond memories of “Snub”, and keep on living. That is all we, as humans, can do. — Ricky Weyer Steve strived to be the best in whatever he did. . . . being on the team made a big difference. Steve knew his baseball. — Howard Haynes To have a friend such as Steve to joke with, to play with, and just to be around was a very treasured thing. We should not feel sorrow for Steve, but feel happiness for him. I will always have wonderful memories of Steve, of all the things that he and I have done over the years. — Carl Long “Snub” wanted to do something, and in his dying, he opened the door to God, one which I have never been through before. “Snub” ac- complished his desire, and I love him more for helping me see when I was blind, for I have a new life to live, and I hope you see and realize “Snub” died to show you the way. Long live the spirit of brother Stephen Kelly Null, the one and only “Snub” with whom we shall someday be reunited. — Tommy Martin I’ll always remember Steve’s smile and laughter, and the way he always kept us all smiling. I will always remember him on the baseball field, and how well he knew and loved the game of base- ball. We have lost a great friend, student, and athlete, but God has gained a wonderful angel. — Randy Boyd 166 Steve Null SENIOR INVOLVEMENT AKERS. RHONDA MARIE FBLA 11 (Historian). 12 BRANCH.

Senior Stats 169 JUNIOR Year — Super Yeai Debbie Davis, President A- i As juniors we took our year in a sophisticated stride. We received our class rings in October, complete with 19 on one side and 77 on the other. We went to hops (remember when J.J. came from 7Q !), paper drives (“how come my turn is always at 9:00 in the morning?”) and stadium clean-ups. We suffered through those tortuous col- lege boards and held special elections to choose a new president and vice-president when ours became members of the senior class. We made plans for prom (choosing a band, a date, and a place) and had endless debates over the theme. ’76 was our junior y«ar and the “superest” year -for rr , V ' ' i a vo VV OYNC. Y sW.

Harvey’s Log Cabin Frontier Home Well, here it is our Sophomore year. We can’t go for- ward and it’s too late to turn back. We ' re lost in the middle for a year. Most of us would agree that our third year at RHS is the hardest so far! We can’t, no matter how hard we try, keep from acting childish (we aren’t grown-ups yet!), but we’re beginning to see what school life is all about. Sure, we get to go to Homecoming, but we can’t go to Prom (unless we’re lucky enough to get asked by a Junior or Senior). Driver’s Ed gives us a little more freedom (when we’re allowed to have the family car!) and finally we’ve seen those sickening driver’s ed films which aren’t too much fun, either before or after lunch! All in all, we have to depend more upon ourselves and less upon others — that’s what our Sophomore year is all about. 178 Sophomores Lori Abercrombie Wanda Albert Darryl Altizer Melissa Andrews Barrett Bain Lucy Baker Jan Baxter Doug Benson Tim Bentley Charles Bickett Edward Blake Toni Boggess David Booth Randy Boyd Kris Brady David Branch i Steve Duncan concentrates on a lawnmower motor in shop.

Sophomores 185 Freshmen, We’ve Found Our Way! Kent Hall, President Alan Harris, Vice-President In our second year at RHS we have solved some of the problems of high school life. As eighth graders we were proud just to know where our classes were, much less being able to get there on time! And sometimes when we had to go to the bathroom, we searched in vain until there was only a minute left to get to our next class which just happened to be on the other side of the school. But by now, we know that it is possible to find the bathroom and still get to our next class without being late. Now, we’re old enough to “bop” at the hops, go to all school dances and generally get involved in the spirit of RHS.

Freshmen 193 Roy Haynes, Vice-President Pictures taken at the American Legion Hall, Radford, Va. s mmmm Man, there we were, high school kids. We’d almost grown up. We’d survived the constant struggle of elemen- tary school and now we’d gotten our chance at the big time. All we had to do was find all six of our classes, the lunchroom, the bathrooms, and survive the shock of P.E. Everyone of us wondered at least once if all of those terri- ble initiations were true. What about the mad rush to the lunchroom? We had waited until second lunch and if we were even close to being late for class, we were scared to death we would get penalty hall. It didn’t take us long to learn our places in high school and it took us even less time to realize how much more growing up we had to do. We were the graduated seniors of the seventh grade starting all over again. 194 Jr. Freshmen We’re All Shook Up Don Adkins Rhonda Ahmann Greg Albert Tracey Amos Lee Bakaitis Kim Benson Richard Beverly Mike Bishop Todd Blankenshi Kim Bolling Penny Bolter Steve Branscom Edward Brown Larry Bryson Vicki Burnett Ronnie Burris Owen Buzzard David Byrd Tern Calfee Tina Calfee Paula Capps Ricky Carter Sue Cloyd Mike Collins Sherry Havens laughs at an eighth grade joke.

His views on government revealed that he liked President Ford, thought democracy was the best form of government, and he felt that Nixon, Wallace, and Kennedy (Ted) were the best politicians around. The average senior boy did not like gas rationing, thought we were getting ripped off on the wheat deal and felt that women’s lib had gotten entirely out of hand. Club day and I.D. cards were thought to be good ideas, though changes could be made to stop abuse of club day and to find a use for I.D. cards. The only thing he didn’t like about the nine weeks’ schedule was that he still had exams and nine weeks’ tests. What did the average senior guy do for entertain- ment? When he read, which wasn’t very often, he read Jaws. He also saw the movie “Jaws.” If he could, he would eat steak. If he couldn’t, he would eat pizza. With his pizza, he would listen to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Led Zepplin. After his pizza and music, he would sit with his upset stomach and enjoy a night with Starsky and Hutch.

Irkt i ' ©KM®® If you saw a girl with long brown hair, brown eyes, 5’4” and 114 pounds, and who had a shoe size of 7 and V 2 , then you saw the average senior girl for 1976, ac- cording to Oakleaf polls. The average girl liked the I.D. cards, but she couldn’t find a use for them. She didn’t like the conflicts between clubs on club day, but she did feel the nine weeks’ schedule gave her time to pull up her grades. When asked about the Russian wheat deal, our girl either thought we were getting the short end of the deal or a new type of breakfast cereal. She didn’t care much for gas rationing, and she approved the equal pay for the same job aspect of women’s lib. The average senior girl seemed to like to be scared in the movies; she picked “Jaws” as her favorite mov- ie. If there wasn’t a good show on T.V. or if she didn’t have a heavy date, the book she chose to curl up with was Gone with the Wind. The thing she’d eat while reading her book was pizza. After reading her book she would probably try the T.V. again and would end up watching “Rhoda,” “Happy Days, or “M‘A‘S H.” 212 The Old Gold Pages MILDRED I. AIMONE FOR AFFT.

The challenge is to find ways . . . new ways... to utilize the earth’s vast store- house of fuels in providing the energy needed for this nation to continue to be great. The means — innovative technolo- gies, exotic engineering, dynamic architec- ture-exciting advances that must come if man is to tap Nature ' s lode for the energies he needs. From the smallest part of the uni- verse to the largest ... that’s the scope of the energy field today. The opportunity for personal achievement is infinite; the chal- lenge, one that must be met. 1034 Norwood St. — Radford Minace B. Fox, Owner APPALACHIAN POWER CO.

MY YOUNG SON starts to school today . . . It’s going to be sort of strange and new to him for awhile , and I wish you would sort of treat him gently. You see, up to now he’s been king of the roost . . . He’s been boss of the backyard . . . His mother has always been near to soothe his wounds and repair his feelings. But now things are going to be different. This morning he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand, and start out on the great adventure ... It is an adven- ture that might take him across continents, across oceans . . ..It’s an adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow . . To live his life in the world he will have to live in, will require faith and love and courage. So, World, I wish you would sort of look after him. . . . Take him by the hand and teach him things he will have to know. But do it gently, if you can. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero . . . that for every crooked politician there is a great and dedi- cated leader . . . Teach him that for every enemy, there i ' s a friend. Steer him away from envy, if you can . . . and teach him the secret of quiet laughter. In school. World, teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat . . . Teach him to have faith in his own idea, even if everyone says they are wrong . . . Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough people. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon . . . Teach him to listen to all men — but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take just the good that siphons through. Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he’s sad . . . Teach him there is no shame in tears . . . Teach him there can be glory- in failure and despair in success. Treat him gently. World, if you can, but don ' t coddle him . . . Because only the test of fire makes fine steel . . . Let him have the courage to be impatient . . . Let him have the patience to be brave. Let him be no man’s man . . . Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself. Because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind. This is quite an order, World, but see what you can do .. . He’s such a nice little fellow, my son!

This is America’s two-hundredth year And we are the people of her future. America would mean little without our inspirations. America needs our ideas, strength, courage, and Leadership To carry her through troubled times. We must be one nation under God And indivisable in order to survive with Our ideals for 200 years more. 238 We fought and still fight for the Freedoms that make us strong We suffer the wars, the depressions When even the rich are poor, And struggle to establish peace in Times of turmoil. We celebrate America’s victories and suffer Her defeats. We enjoy her prosperous years . And the many freedoms granted us. 239 In school and in life We learn by mistakes and through Experiences. We gradually mature, learning to make A mistake only once, and become Men and women. We gain the right to vote, the Responsibility of work, and we do Our best to make this a better world. We are the people. The future of America. Her lifeblood, her ideals. Together, We are the leaders of the world. c 240 cV ' (J 4 - r P r (P ' id ' J ‘ jJK v ( .
