Ah, summer vacation - no school for three calm months.” So Ralph settles down for a long sleep. First, however, his eyes gaze upon his bureau where a round scroll of sheepskin lies. “Hey, just a minute! That’s right, no school at all for me! I almost forgot. Hmmm, that means I have a lot of time on my hands. A whole heckuva lot! Better start looking for a job!” Again he settles back down in his bed and runs over the many positions that he would like to fill. Various jobs such as con¬ struction, heavy machine operation, welding, carpentry, and masonry all strike his fancy — especially the salaries that accompany them. Ralph proceeds downstairs and eats a good, heavy breakfast. down the street. Presently he “If I get one this morning, I’m comes to one site described in the going to need plenty,” he thinks paper, he checks again, to himself. “Bricklayer and carpenter After putting on some clothes needed.” , suitable to work in, Ralph “That’s for me!” reaches for the “want ads.” Just Ralph then approaches the as he thought, there were foreman on the job and lays a countless vacancies in the same on 8 speech on how much ex¬ vocations he had been perience he has had in school daydreaming about.

H Vincent, Glenda, and Jeanie present the gifts at the banquet. You Are the Sunshine of My Life George returns. The 1975 Junior-Senior Prom ' s theme was ’You Are the Sunshine of My Life. The theme song was sung by Gary Clayton at the banquet. The music for the prom was played by The Crystals. The decorations con¬ sisted of the traditional parachute with twisted stream¬ ers running from top to floor. The middle of the gym floor featured a large water fountain made out of blue tinsel with angel-hair substituting for water. All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy the prom very much. Students take a breather. Students enjoy dancing to music by the Crystals. I 975 was an exciting year for the Juniors. They were busy with activities such as selling stationery in the fall to raise money for the prom, planning the prom, and that most important event of all — ordering Senior rings!!!

Lyn¬ wood Pierson succeeded Mark Dungan as Central Area State Vice President. Soon after school opened, the chapter forestry judging team won the Northern Neck Federation, the Centra! Area, and then placed fourth in the State Contest. Rappahannock sponsored the soil-judg¬ ing contest for the Northern Neck Feder¬ ation and the Central Area, but they failed to win top spot in the judging. About 25 members attended the State Fair of Virginia as a group and 8 mem¬ bers entered exhibits. Both the Senior and Junior Shop Judging teams won their divisions in the Northern Neck FFA Federation Contest. Lynwood Pierson and B. L. Albrite were among the 120 people from Virginia attending the National FFA Convention in Kansas City last fall. Virginia was proud to have Alpha Trivette of Caro¬ line County elected National President. Rappahannock really had a big event in December. The National President, Alpha, spoke to a school assembly in the afternoon and then was joined by 9 of I I state FFA officers for a banquet and night meeting. Degrees were awarded and awards were presented. The chapter sponsored the Northern Neck Federation Tractor Trouble Shooting Contest, but they did not have a team. The members always look forward to the chapter ' s annual 22 rifle shooting match and this year was no exception. After class eliminations, the finals were held with Mark Scott coming out Number I. The foresters brought equipment to Rappahannock and conducted a two-day program on forestry and fire pre¬ vention. Five chapter members won trophies and cash awards in the Muncy-Chief Corn Growing Contest. Lynwood was state champion with 186 bushels per acre. Students work to complete their projects. Mr. Albrite lectures on new farming methods. 52 Skillful Hands Are Used in FHA This was a very interesting year for FHA members. Skillful hands make beautiful new creations. One of the most interest¬ ing projects was the pottery work. Cooking, sewing, and painting also were a part of the homemaking activities. Gary and Susan put their talents to work while attempting to bake their own home-made cake. Good Luck! Wanda, what is it going to be this time? Pottery seems to be the thing this year at Rappahannock. — a,,- £ ■ 1 I ? . j 1 j 4 . _• ' ,4t Kg ' ' A i r-IIL V AW vtW - l w -t� v li ■ r S2 £§ Mi - 1 HHK.

Their most successful project this year was our Great Hour of Sharing during the Thanksgiving season. From little gifts, the SCA prepared four big grocery baskets for community distribution. Mrs. Sarah Brown puts her brain to work trying to think of another way to raise money for the SCA. FBLA Supports March of Dimes THE FBLA had a very active year. Our monthly meetings were centered around activities related to the world of work. In addi¬ tion to our regular activities, we had two guest speakers who shared with us valuable information: Miss Diane Gawrys, Distrib¬ utive Education teacher at Rappahannock High School, and Mrs. McElroy, manager of the Warsaw Employment Agency. The FBLA members also participated in the selling of trash bags. This was a national FBLA project. The proceeds from these sales were donated to the Annual March of Dimes Drive.

The Library Club strives to encourage the use of our school library. Often times, its members are responsible for helping keep the shelves in order. During the club meetings, the members vote on buying books that the students would like to have in their library. The main event of the club is the Book Fair, which is held in April. Darre and Timmy check-out the funny paper in the Richmond Times Dispatch. 58 Mary Beth and Mike, stop goofing around, and find yourselves a book to read! Science Fair Reveals Talent The maior event sponsored by the Science Club is the Sci¬ ence Fair. Students show their creative talent through cer¬ tain scientific projects.

After several weeks of individual preparation, eliminations are held to select the best representatives for Rappahannock High School in District Forensics. Winners from District go to Regional, and winners from Regional go to the state contest. The winner that went to Regional was Mary Bev Sanford. Mark Scott and Rusty Brown were the two win¬ ners that went to the state contest. Mrs. Johnston and Mary Bev are ready to depart for Regionals.

Music Makers The Rappahannock High School Band and Chorus is open to any Interested stu¬ dents who feel that they possess talent in the area. They participate in concerts of various kinds, Christmas programs, com¬ mencement activities, and events of community interest. The Madrigals, a specialized group, is open by audition only. The Madrigals consist of a small group of select students who perform music from the Renaissance to the con¬ temporary period. Practices are held before school. The Madrigals, like some other organiza¬ tions of fhe school, suffered the loss of most of last year ' s members. However, the newly formed Madrigals were skill¬ fully able to present three concerts this year. Rodney practices his masterpiece.
