Not the man or woman who steps into the limelight for glory and praise, but the person who works behind the scene to do the dull, and sometimes tedious things that have to be done. Roger Flinchum is this kind of man, and the Rappsody Staff takes great pride and pleasure in dedicating this special yearbook to him. When the staff tried to bring together all his accomplishments of the past eight years, this list seemed endless. He coached J.V. Basketball, sponsored a photography club, ana helped with the Rappahannock Youth Center. He began a paperback library, kept scores and records at basketball games, and worked with the S.C.A., which provided money for academic departments, track record boards, and our stage curtain. More importantly, Mr. Flinchum makes himself willingly (and that’s the key word) available to help train students in various useful skills, such as picture developing and score keeping at sports events. When there are small jobs to be done, whether sorting report cards, or putting grades on records, Mr. Flinchum is there to help — teachers and students alike. As a teacher, Mr. Flinchum strives to meet students on their academic level, encouraging reading and work skills that will be of lifetime value. Helping students learn to speak in public, to debate an issue or defend a point and to learn the mechanics of good English are among his many strengths. So it is with respect and genuine affection that we honor Mr. Flinchum, a simple, separate person, in the 1976 Rappsody.
