PRESENTING THE CONFEDERATE 70 RAPPAHANNOCK HIGH SCHOOL WARSAW, VIRGINIA VOLUME VIII I m J i li 1 jf. v,... THE SPIRIT OF 70 SOARS The beginning of a new decade inspired the students of RHS to accept the challenge of a new beginning with boundless energy. This enthusiasm is that of competition, excitement, and partici¬ pation evolving from student ideas, interests, energies, and abili¬ ties. It is this enthusiasm which inspired the theme of the 1970 CONFEDERATE, THE SPIRIT OF ’70 SOARS. Throughout this book is recaptured some of the spirit which marked this year, in hopes that in the future it will serve to rekindle the memories of 1970. Table of Contents I. Administration .

The education of today’s youth is one of the most important facets of life in any community. It is the responsibility of the school board to establish a system of education which is ade¬ quate and just. The Richmond County School system was un¬ der the guidance of a new superintendent this year, Mr. James N. Stover. The school board members are Mr. Julian Winstead, Mr. Gladwyn Balderson, Mr. Raymond Sulli van, and Mr. Rich¬ ard Gouldin. This year Mr. Stover and the members of the school board have been mainly concerned with the complex arrangements and changes involved in the tentative, completely desegregated school system which will go into effect in the near future. The school board has worked closely with the PTA and the community to promote a better understanding of the coming structure change in the system of education. With the cooperation and assistance of the PTA it has been possible to provide for a better education in Richmond County. The Rappahannock PTA officers are Mr. Jack Mullin, President; Mr. William King, Vice President; Mrs. Connie Bowis, Secretary; and Mrs. Hilda Bronner, Treasurer. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS (L to R): Mr. Julian Winstead, Mr. Gladwyn Balderson, Mr. Raymond Sullivan, Mr. Rich¬ ard Gouldin. 6 Captain Page Knight is our assistant principal.

Cathy Davis—Editor 48 Rebel Yell Participates In Newspaper Exchange The goals of THE REBEL YELL for this past year were to report the highlights of the school’s activities to the students and to teach staff members some of the principles of newspaper writing and journalism. Members of the staff attended a newspaper clinic sponsored by the Delta Chi Journalism Fraternity at the University of Richmond. The purpose of the clinic was to improve the style and promote more professional writing in high school newspapers. THE REBEL YELL also participated in a newspaper exchange with other high schools. In the fall of 1969, the staff was informed that THE REBEL YELL for 1968-69 had re¬ ceived a rating of excellent from the Virginia High School League. By working together writing articles, making up the paper, trying to secure advertisers, and always striving to be better than the time before, the staff has experienced a sample of how technical newspaper work can be.

SCA Sponsors Domestic Exchange The past school term was one of progress and activity for the Student Council. One of the year’s highlights was the Domestic Exchange Program held with Stafford High School of Fredericksburg. Equally successful were such activities as the Spring Dance, Appalachian clothing drive, Roth and special assemblies, and the used bookstore. The Rappahannock Student Council played an important and active role in the planning in¬ volved in the merger of Richmond County High and Rappahannock High. At several meetings representatives from both councils discussed all phases of student life and activities. 52 Fourteen Join Beta Club During 1969-70 the Rappahannock Beta Club j has tried to live up to its motto, “Let us lead by 1 serving others.” The Beta Club was founded in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1933. Its ob¬ jective is to stimulate effort, reward achieve¬ ment, and encourage its members to continue their education after high school. The ideals of ! honesty, service, and leadership through service projects are also promoted by the Beta Club. The Beta Club continued its scholastic award project, promoted a tutoring program, and held the annual Beta dance and “Miss Southern B ell” contest as fund-raising projects. Eleven mem¬ bers represented the club at the State Beta Con¬ vention held at Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke. Fourteen new members joined the Beta Club bringing the total enrollment to 55. The year was both a profitable and successful one for the Rappahannock Beta Club. 1 1 mmrnrn- rrHr ■ ’ J firnm, -- i • w 1st Row: C. Gallagher, S. Delano—Reporter, S. Hinson—■ President, J.

Anything You Want Them To Be Throughout the past school term the Rappa¬ hannock High School Library Club continued to carry out its main objective: informing and in¬ troducing the student body to the wonderful world of enjoyment and knowledge to be found in any library. Instrumental for this procedure was the cele¬ bration of National Library Week (April 11-18). During this week the club staged special ac¬ tivities designed to publicize the library and the theme of the week, “Libraries are ... ”, to the community and the school. Members presented short programs over Radio Station WNNT and staged their annual Teacher Appreciation Day. The club continued to offer a Library Science Scholarship, a fund to be used to help college- bound students who plan to concentrate on li¬ brary science. 56 Home economist shows members that clowning is fun. FHA officers for 1969-70. Homemakers Make Time Work For Them Rappahannock Future Homemakers placed emphasis on their selected goal, “Make Time Work For You,” by choosing home and class projects in which the wise use of time was of major importance. Two sewing machines were purchased for the home economics department with chapter funds. Activities were carried out which involved the school and community, such as making favors for Tidewater Memorial Hospital and making appropriate wall plaques for children’s Sunday School rooms. During National FHA Week, red rose bushes were plante d on the school grounds. Officers for the year were Karen Gray, pres¬ ident; Mary Lou Allison, vice president; Linda Headley, secretary; Patsy Withers, treasurer; Laura Dunaway, reporter; and Linda Lee King, historian. 57 Glee Club Entertains Community The 1969-70 enrollment in music activities is the largest in the history of Rappahannock: 115 members in the Glee Club, 60 students in regular classes, and 18 madrigal singers. All music ac¬ tivity is centered around the fifth and sixth period music classes. The entire membership was featured in a Christmas Concert, Spring Concert, and the Baccalaureate Service. In addition, the madrigal singers presented programs for the Women’s Club, Camp 17, Young Farmers, Beta Club, Re¬ tired Teachers, and the Ruritan Club. Sallie Smith, Diane Morris, Edward Bromley, Henry Headley, Susan Bronner, James Saunders, Deborah Wynn, Faye Packett, and Herbert Veney attended Regional Chorus at VCU.

Science Club Sells Booster Buttons Under the sponsorship of Mr. Edward Peder¬ sen and Mr. James Horne, the Science Club of RHS attained a new mark of 52 members during the 1969-70 school year. In doing so, the club also strove to continue its efforts of promoting a broader knowledge of the sciences within the earnest student. During the mid-year season, booster buttons were sold to sports fans to help support the spirit of the basketball events. In addition, the (Science Club extended its service to the student (body with the renewal of SCIENCE magazine (which appears monthly in the library. For the yearly trip, the Science Club ventured to Washington, D.C. to view the scientific ex¬ hibits of the varied buildings of the Smithsonian Institute. On May 26, the Science Club jointly sponsored the annual Science Fair, with the PTA awarding monetary cash prizes, medals, and certificates of honorable mention. 59 Greasy Pig Contest Is FFA First The FFA Chapter at Rappahannock has come through another prosperous and active year under the leadership of Stephen Packett as pres¬ ident. A total of 96 members are in the chapter and have participated in the numerous contests and activities such as forestry judging, shop judging, shooting matches, public speaking, tractor driv¬ ing, and crop judging. The three pigs that were caught in the con¬ test are being raised as farrowing sows, and the winner must return one pig for next year’s contest. Some of the members have helped plant pine seedlings to raise money for the chapter. Overall, the FFA Chapter at Rappahannock has had a full year.

The Health Aides girls ride with the Auto Mechanics boys to Warsaw Elementary School where they have classes at the old Home Economics build¬ ing. The building is equipped with three hospital beds that are used for practice. They have smaller hospital equipment such as stethoscopes, thermom¬ eters, and blood pressure apparatus. The girls learn to take blood pressures and read thermometers. The Health Aides I girls visit the hospital once a week. When they arrive at the hospital, they do many helpful jobs. They give baths, clean units, exercise patients, arrange and water flowers, etc. Mrs. Wilkins, Director of Nurses at Tidewater says, “They are a big help to the hospital.” Evelyn Prescott, Ann Clark, Martha Clark, Lorraine Dunaway, Mrs. Stover, Kathleen Gordon, Lynn Bromley.

The Buses Moving The main objective of the Rappahannock Auto Mechanics is to help maintain Richmond County’s School Buses. The boys also undertake jobs of painting and body work brought in by private owners of cars. Each year the Auto Mechanics Class take a trip to Baltimore to General Motors Plant. After the trip through the plant, they go downtown to the Custom Automobile Show. These boys learn a skill while in auto mechanics that someday may be helpful to all of them. Safety Is Major Objective The 1969-70 bus patrol and drivers have tried to promote and maintain safetv on the school buses throughout the year. They did so by arranging the students in certain seats which enabled the drivers and their patrol to keep the bus more orderly and look quickly to see if a stop was necessary.

Adding finishing touches WREB Crew Anticipation William turns flip 64 65 Rebels Play Tough And Spirited Season The defending District F champions started the ’69 season, with many veterans, some new faces, and a new coach. Through the first two games, the Rebels again looked like the team to win in District F. But the 11-game winning streak of the Rebels ended on a Friday night in October. The team had its ups and downs but played tough and spirited-football for the remainder of the season with a 4-5 record. The offensive team held its own with A1 France taking the lead in yards gained from the line of scrimmage; David Belfield and How¬ ard McGeorge were the second and third leading ground gainers, respectively. Leading pass re¬ ceivers were Howard McGeorge, first, and Larry Powell, second. The Rebel defense made a fine showing with the top three tacklers: Danny Dunaway, Stanley Sanders, and Joe Sanders, respectively, backing their opponents down. The upcoming year for the Rebels gridiron squad shows much promise and potential, for only seven members graduate: Stan Sanders, Harry Smith, David Belfield, Gayle Belfield, Ficklin Bryant, A1 Smith, and Henry Packett. The team will include many returning lettermen and upcoming JV players.

The Rebelettes were faced with the innovation of a new schedule in basketball this year in which District F was divided into two divisions with the Rebelettes playing two games each with Northumberland, Tappahannock, and Lan¬ caster. The girls had high hopes for the season but were victorious only once. With a score of 28-26 over Lancaster. Bonnie Jones, the captain, scored the winning points just as the final buzzer sounded. Northumberland beat the Rebelettes 37-25 and 39-9. Tappahannock overpowered them with scores of 40-25 and 50-25, and Lancaster won the last game 23-16. Bonnie Jones was high scorer with a total of 41 points ; Beverlv Barrack was close behind with 39 points. Peggv Revere scored 19 points and Jan Stover, co-captain, scored 14 points. The Rebelettes will lose captain and co-captain, Bonnie Jones and Jan Stover, this year, but they are still looking to a brighter future for the team. 68 Rebels Look To Brighter Future After a disappointing season of one up and thirteen down, the Rebels came up with a few bright spots for the 1969-70 season. Ficklin Bryant set a school record for points scored with 35 through the hoop and Buster Beasley averaged twelve points a game. This season the league grew with the addition of several new teams, and the players feel they gained ex¬ perience from the new teams that will be helpful in the future.

Their three victories during the regular season came against Lancaster, Northumberland and Tappahannock. The Rebels had only one winner at the District meet, Michael Packett. Mike set a district record in the two-mile run which was a new event in District F this year. This new individual and district record was clocked at 11:07.0. Gayle Belfield placed second in the high hurdles. At the State Meet held in Charlottesville, the two Rebel thinclads came away with a second and a fourth place position.

The Rebelettes also had a new pitcher, Lorraine Dunaway, who was also captain. Patsy Withers was co-captain for the team. The season got off to a bad start with a loss to Tappahannock but quickly gained ground with victories over Northumberland and Lancaster.

Kathleen Gordon had the best batting average at 704 with Patsy Withers and Vanessa Schools tying for second with an average of 600. Florrie Redford was third with 536.

A Cheerleader’s Prayer Every day we pray for strength and courage to lead our crowd in a good sportsmanship manner. For understanding of the complete competi¬ tive competition. To see the good that lies in the heart of every person. To help our players and spectators see the unity between them so they prove their loyalty for our school. Help those who only want a victory for victory ' s sake to see the importance of growing peace and har¬ mony that should be between opposing schools. We are thankful for the many blessings that the One above has bestowed upon us—for the way we cheer and play depends on how we, as cheerleaders, conduct ourselves.

End Of The Beginning.” - Winston Churchill — Acknowledgement As editor of the 1970 CONFEDERATE, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all those people who have contributed much time and effort to the publication of our yearbook: THE ADVERTISERS for their interest and support, without whose generosity there would be no yearbook at RAPPAHANNOCK. TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY for printing our book, and their representative, Mr. Danny Defalco, for his untiring patience and advice. MR. FORREST PATTON, BRENDA JENKINS, AND WANDA CLARKE for their time and efforts spent in photography. MRS. BLANCHE McKENNEY, MRS. MARTHA DELANO, AND MR. RUSSELL HAWLEY for their profound interest and assistance in the publication of the yearbook. THE FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION, AND STUDENT BODY for their friendship and cooperation. THE STAFF for their patience, cooperation, and diligent efforts. And my special thanks go to MRS. PEGGY W. SAMPSON for her un¬ tiring patience, certainty, vitality, assistance, and devotion. May the last CONFEDERATE serve as a pleasant reminder of the SPIRIT OF ’70 which will echo but never die. Cathy Davis, Editor 110 Index Ackowledgement .
