Co-SCA Officers Work Together The SCA of Rappahannock High School is an organization designed to foster school spirit and cooperation. This past school term the SCA worked especially hard to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation among the students and faculty. One of the year’s highlights was the Domestic Exchange Program held with Manchester High School of Chesterfield. Other successful programs included the spring dance, the operation of the used bookstore, the broadcasting of the morning devotions, news and sports, the Roth programs and other special assemblies. Our fund-raising projects involved the SCA Auction, the Sing-Out South and a bake sale. The SCA also took an active part in community relations such as providing things at Christmas time to a needy family, giving to those who suffered from Fire loss, and getting donors for the hloodmohile. This past school year has been full of pleasant and relative activities, and we as the SCA would like to give a special thanks to those who made it possible.

More books, magazines and visual aids were circulated. The RHS Library Club has tried to bring the library and its treasures closer to the students. The Library Club has continued its offer of a Library Science Scholarship to any student interested in a library career. Club members also participated in the observation of National Library Week (April 18-24) by arranging attractive bul¬ letin boards, setting up a display of new books, and holding a tea for teachers to examine these books in the library. The members of the Library Club have learned the values of reading and have devoted themselves to teaching it to others. Billy gets the latest news.

This year the club reached an astonishing membership of eighty-four. To keep in step with its efforts of promoting a broader knowledge of the sciences within the earnest stu¬ dent, the club found it necessary to split into a Junior and a Senior Science Club. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Sarah Brown, Mr. Ed¬ ward Pedersen, and Mr. James Horne, the club made a trip this year to the natural caverns of Luray, Virginia. In May the Science Club sponsored its annual Science Fair, awarding medals, monetary prizes, and honorable mentions to the best participants in the areas of physics, chemistry, and biology.

Its objectives, however, remained unaltered; to chronicle the school’s activities, and provide students with journalistic training. The ’’Yell ’ has undergone a change in name and a change in format. The paper is now printed by offset in an effort to heighten quality and readability. Members of the newspaper staff produced a total of six issues. In addition, several ’’Yell” staff members at¬ tended a special newspaper clinic, sponsored by the Delta Chi Journalism Fraternity of the University of Richmond. Papers were exchanged with those of several other schools, in an effort to ensure continued vitality of publishing. As in previous years, the ’’Yell” received support from area businesses: Northern Neck State Bank, Farnham Motor Compa¬ ny, Inc., Village Motor Co., Ayeock’s, Coggins ' s Furni¬ ture Store, Lowery’s Restaurant, Northern Neck Oil Co.

The chapter also had a State Vice President who was Dale Sanders. He attended the National FFA convention. A special night meeting was held in October with parents invited and featured the awarding of honorary degrees to Rus¬ sell Bronner and Tom Brooks. The speaker was Mr. Walter Horne. The FFA claendar was again a fall project for making money and publicity. A food booth at the five home football games was another fund-raising project. The forestry judging team of Dale Sanders, Dale Clarke, Wayne Jenkins, Clifton Jenkins, and Charles Belfield won the N. N. Federation and Easters Area Contests and placed Fifth in the State Contest near Stanton. The Juniors and Seniors in Agriculture again took the an¬ nual trip to the Virginia State Fair. The Degree Team won the Area contest at West Point and will go on to the State Contest. The team is led by Dale Sand¬ ers as the President with the others including Charles Bel¬ field, Dougie Bryant, Ed Bromely, David Carter, Robert Lewis, Dale Winstead, Wayne King, and Ronald Dorsey. The chapter will be represented at the State Convention at VPI this summer and four members have applied to the For¬ estry Camp. It’s refreshment time for Dale and Charles. FFA Members of 1970-71. 41 ' I Where did they go, Bruce?” Health Aides Have A Busy Year The Health Aides’ Class enjoyed a busy year. On November 3, 1970, the Red Cross Bloodmobiie arrived! at the Warsaw Baptist Church. The girls, along with Mrs. Sto¬ ver, came to the bloodmobiie ready for duty. Their jobs ranged from guiding the donors, taking their pulse and tem¬ perature, helping the nurses in the donor room to get them something to eat and drink after donating blood. At the end of January, the second year students started going to the hospital, and the first year students followed in February. The hospital is Tidewater Memorial Hospital at Tappahannock, Va. They have been very cooperative, and Rappahannock High School is very appreciative for this fine opportunity for the students to gain this qualified experience. The jobs consisted of making beds, giving baths to the pa¬ tients, getting the patients up in chairs or walking them. On April 13, 1971, the Red Cross Bloodmobiie returned to Warsaw and the Health Aides’ class again donated their ser¬ vices which meant long hours past school time. The Red Cross Nurses congratulated the class on their fine work. The class work consisted of a variety of activities. First the students got acquainted and learned to get along with one an¬ other. One of the main objectives of the class was to help the student to look at themselves and at others and acquire a skill! as well as personality to get along with others in life after the school years. We got you now, Martha! 42 tr SlUtyj - Enrollment Increases In Auto Mechanics ] The auto mechanics classes this year consisted of twelve morning r second year students and eight afternoon or first year students. Experiences have been plentiful and varied. Whether il was a new experience or a repeat performance, we had the opportunity to earn more about it. j We have done body and fender work as well as painting complete automobiles. Several motors have been rebuilt in addition to trans¬ mission overhaul and clutch and brake replacements, i Our class trip this year was to General Motors Assembly plant and Fisher Body plant in Baltimore. Here we witnessed the com¬ plete assembly of the automobile. We also attended a Custom Auto Show at the Civic Center in Baltimore. Our trip was very worth¬ while, educational, rewarding, and lots of fun. No student in the class is, or could expect to be, an expert me¬ chanic by the end of the year, but all of us have learned many things about automobiles that we were not aware of before taking [this class.

Beta Rewards Achievers You finally made it, George! The objectives of the Beta Club are to stimulate effort, reward achievement, and encourage its members to continue their educa¬ tion after high school. The Rappahannock Beta Clnh lias tried to reach these objectives during 1970-71. It awarded the Scholastic Achievement letter to students who had maintained an A” or B” average for the year. It also changed its method of tapping new members so that business students as well as academic students have an equal chance of being voted in. The Beta Club held its annual Beta Dance and sold Rappahan¬ nock T-shirts as fund raising projects. Nine Beta members attended the State Beta Convention which was held at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia on March 20. 44 SPORTS 45 1st ROW: H. McGeorge, A. France, D. Dunaway, S.

Raiders in Action. 46 CO-CAPTAINS: D. Dunaway and A. France. The 1970 football team, led by co-captains, A1 France and Danny Dunaway, forged an overall record of five wins and four losses with a league record of four wins and two losses. Lancaster, Essex, Northumberland, and Ladysmith fell before the hard-charging Raid¬ ers. Offensively, the team featured a well-balanced running attack. Seniors A1 France, Rich Gouldin, Danny Dunaway, Howard McGeorge, and Stephen Packett, and underclassmen Walt Barber, Chip Minor, Gregory Pierson, and Dennis Tuck all carried for sub¬ stantial advances. The defense was spearheaded by ends Martin Hinson and Wayne Packett, backed by linebackers France, Duna¬ way, and Stephen Packett. The season was highlighted by an exciting win over arch rival Essex. A thirty-yard-scoring bomb from Howard McGeorge to Greg¬ ory Pierson and a three-yard-scoring plunge by Danny Dunaway provided the winning margin. Although graduation losses are heavy, with the loss of twelve sen¬ iors, the remainder of the squad looks forward to the next season in the anticipation of bringing more gridiron success to Rappahannock High School.

JV Has A Rough Season The Rappahannock High School JV Football Team, coached by Dave Williams, had a rough season this year, winning only one out of five games. The team showed some promising talent for the upcoming years for the R.H.S. Varsity. Among the offensive standouts were Robbie Hedelt, who played quarterback; Gene Balderson, who played blocking back; and Randolph Fletcher, who played offensive end. The defensive standouts were Wayne King and Mark France on the line, and Ed Bromley, Bill Walker, and Ed King in the backfield. This year’s defensive team held the op¬ posing team to a 20 point average per gatin ' . The offensive team lacked points in scoring. Hike! Hike! Hike! Balderson cheers them on. 48 ' 1st ROW: B.

Raiderettes Have First Place Entries Playing for the first year in the newly organized Northern Neck Dis¬ trict, the Rappahannock Raiderettes were long, on desire but came up short in the win column. The Raiderettes began their season with a defeat by Ladysmith, 35 to 29. They continued their season with scores as the following: Coloni¬ al Beach 37 to 28; Lancaster 37 to 18; King George 38 to 30; Essex 44 to 22; Northumberland 40 to 23. The leading scorer for the season was Beverly Barrack with 62 points. Sally Smith, a promising freshman, netted 43 points. Jyl Stover was next with 21 points, and captain, Peggy Revere scored 15 points. Two junior guards, Pat Scott and Doris Ann Rock, scored 3 and 5 points respectively. What goes up must come down! The Raiderettes lose 3 seniors out of the starting 6, Peggy Re¬ vere, co-captain Jackie Sorrell, and Beverly Barrack. The Raiderettes look forward to a bright future, hacked by a lot of young talent.

The team hustled and the! desire was there. Although we didn ' t have a winning season this year,I. we were 5-9 in the district and 6-10 overall. The Raid- ers started the season in good form but faltered near the] end. Rappahannock can be proud of its basketball squad this year as the Raiders won more games this sea-1 son than in the history of the school. Randolph Fletcher set two school records this year; I one when he scored 34 points in one game and the! other when he pulled down 28 rebounds in a singlel game. All in all, with some fine players returning next year,! plus an outstanding upcoming JV team, the Raiders! show much potential for the future years. Jump, Raiders, Jump! 1st ROW: H. Gallagher, W.

The Raiderettes placed third after doing extremely well in field events, but getting only one place in track events. Those placing first were Patsy Withers in broad jump, with 15’11”, and Laura Dunaway in the discus, with 93’8”. Laura also came in 2nd in shot with SO’IO 1 ”. Jackie Sorrell placed 3rd in shot with 30’9”. Once again co-captain Patsy With¬ ers placed. This time she placed 3rd in high jump, jumping 4’4”. Sallie Smith came in 4th in discus throwing 81’8”. Co-captain Debby Dart came in 4th in the 50 yard dash. The Raiderettes are losing three seniors, Debby Dart, Patsy Withers, and Jackie Sorrell, but they have high hopes for returning lettermen and new prospects. 1st ROW: D. Nash, J. Sorrell, D.

Captain Patsy Withers held the year’s highest hatting average — .769. Co-captain Kathleen Gordon followed Patsy with a .545 average for the year. Freshman pitcher, Sallie Smith, struck out a total of 16 hatters in her first year of pitching. She also held the third highest hatting average, .518, and hit the Raiderettes’ only homerun for the season. In their first district game the Raiderettes lost to Northumberland 12-10 after a late start in the sixth inning. The girls then went on to lake Essex 11-2, King George 15-3, and Lady Smith 12-8. Their spectacular win over Colonial Beach, 16-0, was followed by a disappointing loss to Lancaster, 11- 6 . The team will lose seniors Ann Sanders, Rita LeVere, Patsy Withers, and Kathleen Gordon. However, with freshman potential in pitching and with solid junior and sophomore hatting and fielding, the 1972 season holds promise. Patsy Withers Sanders. 54 I 1st ROW: C. Arthur — Manager, F.

From there they added four straight victories, but in the final game were defeated by Lancaster losing their chance to he the dis¬ trict champions. The Raiders ended their season with a 6-2 record, and they were tied for second place in the district. One of tilt ' outstanding highlights of the season was the no-hitter which Dennis Tuck pitched against Brentsvillc. A1 France held the highest halting average with a .480 mark. A solemn hour for the Raiders. Beverly and Peggy cheer the Raiders on. 55 Cheerleaders Have Rewarding Year 1st ROW: K. Gray — captain, G. Turner, M. Bronner. 2nd ROW: B. Haynes, E. Smith. 3rd ROW: M. Franklin, R. Hinson. 4th ROW: D. Thomp¬ son, S. Bronner. 5th ROW: R. LeVere — co-captain. The cheerleaders of Rappahannock found the year ’70-’71 very fulfilling and rewarding. They supported the Raiders in varsity football, varsity basketball, junior varsity basketball, and girls’ basketball. To boost school spirit at Rappahannock, the cheer¬ leaders held pep rallies at which the spirit stick was awarded to the most spirited class. They also made post¬ ers, decorated goal posts, and put up a bulletin board entitled Raider Spirit. M iss Jane Ledbetter along with Mrs. Fred Pitman acted as our sponsors for the year and were of much as¬ sistance to us. Karen Gray, captain, and Rita LeVere, co-captain, led the cheerleaders to a very successful year. Completing the year was the annual Athletic Banquet in which the cheerleaders honored all of the Raider ath¬ letes. We’ve got spirit! Hey! S-P-I-R-I-T.
