Wm Rappsody '82 i% Rappahannock County High School Sperryville, VA 22740 Volume XXII Reach For Your Dreams Dreams come in as many sizes and shapes as the people who dream them. One of a Beastie’s first dreams is of passing to the ninth grade so he can lose his nickname. Then, as Freshmen, they put the Beasties through the same initiation that they went through. A Sophomore dreams of getting his driver’s license. Any Sophomore can tell you that they have been looking forward to this for more years than they can re- member. The best of all possibili- ties for a Junior might be getting a high score on his SATs or a date with that certain someone for the prom. Seniors long for graduation, after which many plan to take on the responsibilities of a job and or marriage. An athlete’s fantasy may be to make the perfect play and score the winning points. Goals require hard work to make them a reality. By being realistic about our dreams and by giving them our best efforts, we can make them come true. Constant practice makes touching the rim a reality for Ken Estes, as he participates in the Athletic Department’s Conditioning program. Allison Best looks at college catalogs in high hopes of attending Southeastern Col- lege in Florida. Engagement rings and marriage plans are important topics of conversation to Kim Pullen and Beverly Settle. ■ Fighting the uphill battle to a winning sea- son, John Shanahan competes in the Luray Cross Country meet, which Rappahannock won 24-35. 2 Beasties need love too. Angie Butler gives eighth grader Brett Anderson tips on the ins and outa of high school. The mysteries of a better yearbook are solved for Greg Smith, Chris Rustic, and Dawn Watson by Jody Severini, the Jos- ten’s yearbook representative. Behind the wheel instruction with Mr. Ed- monson can be nerve-racking. Ray Wil- liams is ready for the day's lesson while Robert Renzie waits his turn in the back seat. 3 Choices And Conflicts Choices and conflicts make high school interesting, but they also make it difficult. Each decision means that something will be cho- sen and something else will have to be given up. Ability grouping was introduced for the first time this year from the eighth grade level up. Thus one of a student’s first high school decisions must be whether to enter an academic or vocational program of study. If he chooses the vocational program, he will have to choose which skill to learn and whether or not to at- tend Piedmont. Clubs are another choice stu- dents face early in the year. With the addition of Hi-Y for the first time this year, there are ten clubs and organizations which students may join or to which they may be elected. Piedmont offers four oth- ers. Each club that is joined repre- sents a commitment of time and energy. This can often mean a V Piedmont Data Processing class, which teaches the use of computers, could lead to a career for Anthony Jordan. There was standing room only in Miss (iriffin’s class for the meeting to determine interest in a Hi-Y Club. Hi-Y promotes high standards of leadership and Christian involvement. conflict with studies. Athletics is another area that can be very time consuming. Playing or managing a sport may mean that grades will suffer. A part time job may allow a stu- dent to buy a car, save money for college, or earn spending cash. But in turn it can conflict with one’s school activities and social life. And all of these things can conflict with parents’ expectations and the student’s home life. High school may become a juggling act, with studies, activities, and home life in the toss. But if one’s goals are im- portant enough, the choices will be made and the sacrifices will be worthwhile. Playing Varsity Girls Basketball creates conflicts between studies and extracurricu- lar activities. Chorus class means a commitment of one's time. Concerts, field trips, and extra prac- tice sessions are some of the many activi- ties associated with this class. 4 The seniors contributed much time and ef- fort to their successful Fall fundraiser, which involved a carwash, bakesale, and flea market.

Bomberger’s class. Students often must rearrange their schedules to allow them to take Art. New Directions And Old Problems Good grades are a dream of al- most every student. Changes in the curriculum this year included the introduction of ability group- ing in eighth and ninth grade Eng- lish classes and a change from So- ciology to Sociology Economics class. Seven new faces were added to the faculty as well as a new Su- perintendent, Assistant Superin- tendent, and Bookkeeper at the School Board Office. Old problems again faced by students included scheduling con- flicts due to limited course offer- ings, especially in the area of elec- tives. A recommendation was made by the school board that all students take six subjects. This, however, caused real scheduling problems due to the lack of elec- tives available. Popular courses such as Art, Typing, Home Eco- nomics, and those classes that were limited by resources to a few students, such as Office Practices, caused many students to be turned away and forced to take other courses. The School Board approved a third year math re- quirement for all students and an additional Typing I class, but then found no funds were available for a teacher. Thus, about 50 students were turned away from Math 9, and 25 Typing I students had to be told there would not be a class for them.

One of the lucky ones who was able to arrange her schedule for Art class was Genia Kritz, who is now in her second year of Art.

She is a familiar face around the school. While being kept quite ac- tive between the Elementary School and the High School, she still has time to devote her many talents to students. She may be seen after school giving piano or voice lessons. In the morning she is busy helping General Music stu- dents tune guitars or helping cho- rus students with their songs. After Christmas vacation she de- votes her musical talents to the Spring Musical, for which she plays the piano and directs the singers, dancers and choirs. She is involved in many activi- ties outside of school as well. She is a member of the Rappahannock County Chorus, the Culpeper Choral Society, director of her church chorus, and on the Board of Directors for the Community Concerts. Her interests other than music include hiking, and garden- ing. Decorating a newly purchased home takes up much of her time. She also sews many of her own clothes. The Rappsody Staff would like to commend this teacher and friend for her help and devotion to the school. We dedicate the 1981- 1982 Rappsody to Mrs. Judy Bom- berger. 14 minis mm TJKULT SWT TacLuj 'J dream b Ike ikrcsficU of tomorroti 'J dbcoicrj. Robert S. Estabrook Superintendent (Top left) Jerald S.

Back row: Mrs. Faye Suddith- book- keeper; Mrs. Jody Wingfield- Title I coor- dinator. The Faces Of Change “I feel basically very good about it”, stated Mr. Robert S. Estabrook, when asked his feel- ings about his new position as Superintendent of the Rappa- hannock School System. He hopes to have the opportunity for more personal involvement with students, teachers, and oth- ers in the community. He works with the School Board, the mem- bers of which he says he has found to be very open and hon- est. He makes recommendations for the school system and is re- sponsible for drawing up the school budget each year. “I plan on learning all of the practices and procedures of the school division this year”, stated Jerald S. Lysik, newly appointed Assistant Superintendant of Schools. Mr. Lysik comes from Syracuse, New York, where he was director of eight middle schools. He likes our relatively small school system as opposed to the larger one that he has known, because here he is not “a small piece of the picture.” Here he has a larger variety of jobs. Transportation is one of his con- cerns. He works with Mr. Huff on the purchase and mainten- ance of the school system’s vehi- cles. He also works with Title I, establishing budgets for the pro- gram and making sure that the money allotted to it is forwarded to the right areas. Another new face at the School Board Office is Mrs. Faye Suddith. Her job consists of keeping track of the books and processing the payroll for all school employees. When buying lunch, you have seen Mrs. Judith N. Burke collecting your money at the lunch counter. She is the cafeteria coordinator and man- ages the payroll for the cafeteria workers. If you’ve ever had a rea- son to call the School Board Of- fice, you have probably talked with Miss Judy Atkins. In her position as secretary to the Su- perintendent, Miss Atkins han- dles correspondence, answers the telephone, and makes appoint- ments. “If the girls in the office left, the office would come to a halt”, stated Mrs. Jody Wingfield, coordinator for the Title I pro- gram, which consists of supple- mental reading and math classes that are financed by federal funds. Her job involves filling out government forms, book- keeping, and the payroll for the employees of Title I. 16 A dministra tion The office personnel helped our days at RCHS to run smoothly and efficiently. Ever- yday some of us confronted Mr. Wingfield, who listened pa- tiently to our class or club fund raising ideas and projects. Mr. Toth has varied duties, one of which is discipline. Ev- ery morning he issues excuses for absences. In addition, he sponsors the Varsity Club and manages the athletic activities of the school. “She is a quiet and efficient individual who assumes much responsibility,” said Mr. Wing- field when asked about the sec- retary of RCHS, Ms. Brenda Clark. Ms. Clark graduated from RCHS in 1969 and was hired as the school secretary in 1978. She is always very helpful and understanding to students as well as to faculty. Mr. Dennis B.

Administration and Super- vision Assistant Principal. Athletic Director 17 Faculty “I really like the county. I’ve left it once, and I don’t want to leave it again,” said Mr. Dean Hahn. Mr. Hahn used to teach here from 1969 to 1973 but left to be a probation officer for adults here in the county. He has made his home in Hunt- ly and is active in his church, Wil- lis Chapel. He participates in many school related activities. He is the Senior class sponsor and coach for Varsi- ty Baseball and J.V. Basketball. He is interested in many out- door activities. He enjoys fishing, golf, and hunting. Mr. Dean Hahn VPI-B.S.

Math, Art Art, Calculus, Trigonomentry, Algebra When asked how she got inter- ested in teaching Mrs. Mary Ann Biggs replied, “I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t interested in teaching. Since I was a child it was what I wanted to do.” Her first two years of teaching were in Rappahannock County from 1969-1971 when she taught English. She then went to Hand- ley High School in Winchester where she developed a program in Speech and Drama. She taught two Speech classes, three levels of Theatre, and directed a perform- ing and dance troupe. Last year she took a year off from teaching and went back to college to get a degree in counsel- ing. Mrs. Biggs sees counseling as an “extension of teaching.” When asked how she likes it here she stated, “I think some- times people who have never been anywhere else may not realize what a good school we really have and I think alot of the credit for organization and functioning of this school has to go to our two top notch administrators. Credit also goes to a very caring faculty and a well behaved student body.” Mrs Biggs is from West Win- field, New York and is presently living in Front Royal. She and her husband enjoy renovating old houses. She also enjoys cooking with natural foods. Mrs. Mary Anne Biggs David and Elkins College, JMU-B.A. The- atre Education. M. Ed.

Health and Physical Education Health, Physical, and Driver Education Although this is her first full time teaching job, Miss Valerie Gehringer is not foreign to the rowdiness of students. Prior to her arrival here, she taught sev- enth grade math at Warren County Junior High School as a substitute teacher. Evidently, her presence in our school is not an accident, as it has been her ambition to be a teacher since sixth grade. A native of Front Royal where she lived for twenty years, she transferred to Rappa- hannock to carry on her dream. It is quite a change for a teacher to transfer from a school of 7000 kids to another with only 500. But Miss Gehringer prefers our Liliputian school as she would rather have a close relationship with students. Her willingness to become in- volved won her a place as basket- ball coach for the girls’ basket- ball team. When not on the court, she may be seen teaching Driver’s Education during her extra time. An active person, she loves basketball, football, horse- back riding and swimming. She finds students here enthusiastic, dependable, easy to work with, and friendly. She observes the lack of extracurricular activities as the school’s worst flaw. On the other hand, the students com- pensate for this problem by mak- ing the most of what they have. She advises students to finish high school and achieve indepen- dence. She is new. She is a warm, active, and ever-smiling person. She is Miss Gehringer.

She then attended The College of Wil- liam and Mary where she studied math for one year. After gradu- ation she worked as a substitute teacher in Warren County. The following year she taught in York County. Miss Wolfe is now a resident of Rappahannock County. She espe- cially likes this area because of the . mountains and outdoors. She is particularly fond of the view of Old Rag Mountain from the house she rents near Madison County. Miss Wolfe’s hobbies include sing- ing and song writing as well as music in general. She also enjoys swimming and fishing. Miss Shelly Wolfe Radford College and College of William and Mary-B.S. Music 8th and 9th grade Math, Physical Science Mrs. Deborah S.

While there she worked with the Farm Youth Extension of the Peace Corps, supervising small farm pro- jects. Coming from Malaysia back home to Rappahannock was a big change. In comparing the two countries, she said that freedom in America is taken for granted; you never know how much freedom you have until you go to a country that doesn’t have as much. Miss Snead is active in her church. Trinity Episcopal, where she sings in the choir and teaches Sunday School. She is also one of our cheerleading sponsors. Her hobbies include horseback riding, tennis, training her border collie Zach, and farming.

When in high school she felt that there had to be a better way, so she decided that she could do a better job than her high school teachers. A social science buff, she loves anthropology and the history of man. Miss Griffin grew up in Cul- peper, Virginia. After high school she moved to Freder- icksburg to attend Germanna Community College in 1972. She later attended Old Domin- ion University in Norfolk, Vir- ginia. Then she relocated to Annapolis, Maryland where she worked for ARINC Research Corporation as personnel coor- dinator. Her outside interests and hobbies include jogging, golf, racquetball, movies, the beach and the mountains. She has found the students and people here very friendly. Miss Griffin commended the High School Administration because she said they stand be- hind you and many other school systems don’t. Miss Mildred D. Stephens St. Paul's College-B.S.

He was born in West Virginia and later moved to Virginia where he lived in Arlington and Blacksburg. He then left Virginia for several years, living in Texas before he moved to Front Royal. He said one of is reasons for moving back to Virginia was his love of the mountains. In his spare time he likes to go backpacking, play football and soccer, and he is also inter- ested in photography. Mr. G.W.

Arguments at class meetings hap- pened frequently as decisions were necessary concerning fund raising projects, the senior trip, and whether or not to put casual or formal photographs in the year- book. Mr. Wingfield finally re- solved the conflict over pictures by vetoing the casual photos. The problem of money was of- ten baffling for the seniors. Class rings and senior portraits were so expensive that many seniors chose not to buy them. The senior play, “Ten Little Indians”, and a flea fair helped raise money for the senior trip to Kings Dominion. Each with a separate dream, seniors will depart from RCHS to be tested on their skills and abili- ties. Some will go to college and others will enter the job scene, but all will remember the many friends made while attending RCHS.

It was a clear autumn day, perfect for such an event. Seniors washed cars and sold baked goods. There was also a rummage sale. You could buy anything from clothes to apple cider. The day was a complete success. The Seniors earned over $450.00 which contributed to the expenses of the' Senior Ring Dance. 30 Dried flowers and books are the wares that Gary Foster is trying to peddle to passing customers.

The purpose of the election was to promote the seniors’ understanding of the voting process and to encourage their participation in future elections. The classes as a whole elected Charles Robb (Democrat) as governor. Robb received a total of thirty-nine votes to Cole- man’s sixteen. A schoolwide election was also held. Robb again took the lead with one hundred sixty- three votes. Coleman trailed with one hundred fifty-five. Other winning candidates in the mock election were as fol- lows: Lt. Governor—Dick Davis Attorney General—Wyatt Dur- rette Delegate to the 18th dis- trict—Andy Guest. 34 Volunteers Lisa Poe, Cindy Williams, and Kelly Gilkey register students to vote and hand them their ballots.

Nikki Scotti, a disc jock- ey from WFTR in Front Royal, Va., was chosen to provide the en- tertainment. After the first couple started dancing, the floor filled up and the music was still being en- joyed at midnight. Both couples and groups of school friends attended and en- joyed themselves. Comfortable surroundings and familiar faces contributed to the success of the dance. One of the many couples filling the floor, Tina Scheidegger and Jim McCullough, dance the night away.” These two seemed to be enjoying them- selves immensely as one of the first few couples to fill the floor. Selling tickets at the door were Sheila Scott. Connie Baldwin, and Sharon Scott, just a few of the Seniors who worked hard to make the dance a success, (upper right) “Umm . . . umm . . . good! Susan Wines savors the homemade refreshments which were provided.

Under the direction and pro- duction of Don Bomberger, “Ten Little Indians” was differ- ent in many ways. The senior class recruited three under- classmen to fill the vacancy caused by the lack of available seniors. For the first time the senior play was performed in the fall. Although much earlier than expected, a full house for both nights was appreciated by the senior class. More than a month before “opening night”, production was busily moving like clock- work. Actors and actresses had been carefully auditioned and chosen. An excellent set from the 1940’s period was construct- ed under the supervision of James Dennis and his well qualified shop students. More importantly, the cast members were busy attending rehearsals, meeting their memorization deadlines, and developing a convincing character. Opening night was Novem- ber 20th. Before the perfor- mance, cast members were be- hind stage jittering with bouts of stage fright. After gobs and gobs of make-up had been ap- plied (to project one’s charac- ter), the curtains opened re- vealing a ready and willing cast. Both performances went quite smoothly. “Ten Little Indians” centers on the mysterious deaths which occur following the arrival of eleven guests at Devon Island off the coast of England. All were invited for different rea- sons, reasons which immediate- ly charge the audiences’ suspi- cions and curiosity. When the culprit is identified and elimi- nated, justice finally prevails. The cast held intense practice sessions as “opening night” drew near. Philip Lomberd (Bob Baines) looks at the tin of biscuits with distaste as each of the three remaining house guests, in- cluding Vera Claithorne (Tammy Ar- mentrout) and William Blore (John Shanahan) silently accuses the other two of being the murderer. Dr. Armstrong (Troy Robinson). Emily Brent (Allison Best) and Philip Lombard, along with the other houseguests, discuss the possible identity of the murderer. 37 Candy Sales Pay For Prom A sense of humor was a necessi- ty to live through the junior year. Mr. Patterson’s and Mr. Bom- berger’s jokes kept their classes rolling in the aisles with aching sides. Mrs. Wayland and Miss Nelson, however, made up for lack of seriousness earlier in the day. Mr. Dave Kinton of the Balfour Company delivered the Juniors’ rings before Christmas. This was the first class in many years to receive their rings in the Junior year. Funds were raised by the annu- al Junior Class Candy Sale, which was a lot of hard work for the class officers and members. They raised $970.64 and sold 2500 bars of can- dy. This was added to the $108.00 raised in their Sophomore year from carnation sales. Altogether $1078.64 was raised for the prom. The Junior class president, Gin- ger Eidson, suffered through many disorganized meetings, but the juniors managed to accom- plish their major goal, the Junior- Senior Prom. After many ballots the prom theme, “Sharing the Night Togeth --” was selected Decorating was a very time con- suming affair and required even- ings and Saturdays as well ar the two days before he prom.

Gosh, what’s my next move? Do I look alright? These and many oth- er questions were the ones I had to face. Never had 1 felt so awkward in my life as on my very first day at RCHS. Students exchanging stories about their summer vaca- tions, girls giggling, guys laughing, and me—alone. As if that wasn’t enough, people were staring at me like 1 was a creature from another planet. This was torture! ‘Uh, oh,” I thought, “Being an exchange Victor enjoys the view of the Rappahan- nock countryside during lunch. student is harder than I thought.” The next few weeks turned out a lot better. I found the people of Rappahannock very friendly. Be- fore I arrived, 1 read somewhere that Virginians were amiable. Well, the students in this school live up to that description. I think that the students’ friendliness has helped me a lot in fitting in. Being an exchange student has had many rewards. For one, I ex- perienced being an American for a year. Second, I accumulated countless friends during my stay. Every day I discovered more of the United States and learned more of its culture. Perhaps the biggest reward was being indepen- dent. For a year, I was making most of my own decisions. I have enjoyed my stay here in Rappahannock County—especial- ly its people, school and scenery. I hope to find more joy until the last day of my stay here. Truly, I can say that I have had a most won- derful experience this year in Rap- pahannock. One of the new faces seen at RCHS is that of Victor Ragman, our foreign ex- change student from Quezon City, the Philippines. as Chuck Stephenson Shannon Streagle Cathy Streapy Edward Summers Charles Sutphin Ciail Timbers Gary Timmons Terri Tylek 41 Eddie Wayland Cathy Wingfield Not Pictured: Martha Alford, Dawn Burke, Carl Grigsby, Ray Prudham, Steve Scott, and Ronnie Settle. A Home Away From All students have one thing in common—a locker. Many lockers are almost a home away from home for their owners. Posters, pictures, and cartoons adorn the walls of their “rooms.” As with their rooms at home, it does not take much to mess up a locker. “I know its in my locker somewhere but I just can’t find it”, is an excuse often heard for lost homework. Lockers can also be a source of fun and pranks. Stacking a locker so that when the door is opened, everything falls out, making the owner late for class, can be hilarious. Of course, this only works well on top lockers and one must know the combi- nation if it is locked. Any stu- dent whose combination is known is immediately in dan- ger of finding his or her locker stacked. As you get older, the size of the locker seems to get smaller. One can always tell a senior’s locker because it is overflowing with Calculus, Government and English books. It seems each year that the books get bigger and the lockers smaller. Finally, the lockers are one place to make new friendships that can be lasting. What better way is there to meet someone than to continually drop your books on his head? Who knows ... you might marry the person with the locker below you. Friendships are often kindled at one’s lock- er. Here, Kim Harttorf helps C.D. Baldwin with his hooks. Home .. where the grapes of wrath are stored .. 42 Sophomores Take On Responsibility Bursting with enthusiasm, this year’s Sophomore Class showed its true colors. For the first time since entering high school, al- most everyone in the class was involved in at least one club or sports related activity. Those that were unable to participate showed their spirit by support- ing these organizations. This was also the first time these tenth graders had the re- sponsibility for handling a fund raising activity. It took a lot of time and effort, both from com- mitties and sponsors. Being the hard working students that they are, however, they pulled off the annual carnation sale with nary a complication. With nothing behind them but experience, these soon to be Ju- niors are on their way up.

The windows are a latticework of greenery, an appro- priate environment for the subject of Biology. Mr. Wood tries to touch every aspect, using charts and posters, experiments and specimens. He has a fish tank in the back of the room, and a skele- ton named Harvey. Although Bi- ology is a required subject, stu- dents find that it is impossible to remain disinterested when sur- rounded by their subject of study.

The Impossible Dream An elective for some and a ne- cessity for others, Typing is one of the most popular classes in the school curriculum. College bound students would like to take it, but often must wait until their Senior year to get in. Business students are required to take it as a part of their program of study. And for some, Typing class must unfortu- nately remain only a dream. One of the lucky Sophomores able to take Typing, Patricia Jenkins practices a busi- ness letter. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

Despite nine intervening snow days, they managed to sell almost 300 carnations. Other problems were encountered too. The original price quoted to them by the florist had to be raised from 35c each to 50c. Of course this reduced their expec- While Linda Settle tries to decide what color carnation she wants to buy.

While tallying numbers of carnations and cards, they discovered that somewhere they had come up one short. The worst problem, however, was getting the carnations to the school. At 8:15 Friday morning the florist delivered red, white, and pink carnations, but no red and white ones. She promised to deliver these at noon--they weren’t to worry. Then it was discovered that there were 50 less red carna- tions than were needed. They called the florist, who promised to bring the red flowers at noon, too. Twelve o’clock came, but the flowers didn’t. Finally at 2:30 the florist arrived. After much anxiety and near hysteria on the part of the class officers, all the carnations were delivered by the end of sixth period. Which goes to show that all’s well that ends well. On one of the few days when school was in session during January, Annie Tup- per and Teresa Presgraves sell as many carnations as possible during second lunch. A special someone will be the recipient of the carnation Clint Bowman orders. Looking pleased with their flowers, Molly McCoy, Teresa Dye, Kim Williams, and Kim Wayland watch the world go by out- side Mr. Wood's door. 49 Freshmen Learn The Tricks Of High School After being at RCHS for one year, this year’s Freshmen had no trouble getting into the swing of things. They were now an accept- ed part of the high school scene, and they lost no time in putting the Beasties through the same ini- tiations they received last year. There were several unique inci- dents for the Freshmen. Jim McCullough represented them in the senior play, “Ten Little Indi- ans”. Betsy Jewell and Cindy Bur- nette helped with the make-up for the play. The Freshmen came back from Christmas vacation to find their Science teacher, Ms. Brand, was unable to get home in time to be in school on January 4. Her connecting flight in Minne- apolis had been cancelled while she was vacationing in the Mam- moth Mountains of the Catalina Islands off Northern California. Some things are true of every Freshman class. The ever- popular Mr. Flinchum continued to hold their attention by giving them a combination of humor and practi- cal knowledge. For some this was their first year to participate on the J.V. level of sports. They also showed their high school spirit at Pep- rallies and by joining clubs.

Over the hum of sewing ma- chines and people chattering came the loud cries of “Mrs. Wood!!” Requiring patience of both the in- structor and student, mastery of sewing was found by some to be a tedious task. Many students in first year Home Ec. attempted to make wrap skirts. The first chore was that of choosing the right kind of material, making sure not to get plaids or stripes. The next step was to find the right pattern size and fit it on the material. Then it was necessary to make sure the sewing machine didn’t at- tack and eat your material. Once the “masterpiece” was completed, you hopefully received an A + and avoided a nervous breakdown. Laying out the pattern is the hardest part. Mrs. Wood demonstrates pattern fitting to her third period class. 53 Joyce Starks Leslie Stiltner Marc Streagle Russell Streets Linda Stringfellow David Timbers Not pictured: Donna Atkins, Charles Bal- dwin, Linda Corbin, Mary Fletcher, Mi- chael Giacalone, Michael Hawkins, Harri- son Hughes, John McKay, Donna Sue Smoot, Johnny I ee Smoot and Arlene Wigington. Push-Ups Anyone? Beasties, Freshmen, and Sopho- mores alike are required to partici- pate in gym class. This was both good and bad. It was good because physical exercise was a welcome relief from academic pressures. Also, facial expressions and bodily contortions caused much laughter. It was bad because dressing out and exercises weren’t always the most fun. Usually, though, the good outweighed the bad. We’ll be marines someday!

On February 16, the student body was treated unexpectedly to a free concert by the U.S. Navy Band. Arranged by Mr. Wingfield in cooperation with the Navy re- cruiter, Frank Chester, Port Au- thority is the Navy Band’s entry in the field of rock music. They work almost exclusively in sup- port of Navy recruiting. The group played a number of popular songs, including “Free- bird” and Celebration” that got the audience cheering in their seats. Dick Glass, the vocalist trumpet player, provided visual entertainment as well as musical inspiration. Guitarist Robert Sul- livan also displayed his talent on the harmonica.

(center) 55 Beasties Are Somewhat Different “Full of energy and determi- nation.” “Always trying their best.” “Very energetic, some- times too much so.” These were some of the opinions given by teachers and upperclassmen of this year’s eighth graders. On the other hand, the Beasties had some opinions of their own. “It’s different.” How? “It’s smaller.” “It’s larger.” “There are lockers.” “The age group is different.” Despite Natalie Butler’s confi- dent “I was glad to get here!,” there were general feelings of anxiety about making it to class on time, catching the bus home, and being stuffed in a trash can. Generally though, most eighth graders agreed that, “After I got used to it, I liked it.” Brett Anderson C.D.

Both students and teachers used imagination to come up with some very interesting costumes. Many adventurous individuals dressed up to show their Halloween spirit. Unfortunately, there were too many viewers and not enough par- ticipants. Winning contestants received $5.00. Prizes were awarded to the best dressed boy, girl, and teacher. First place in the girls’ division was tied between Kelly Gilkey, dressed as a Raggedy Ann doll and Genia Kritz, dressed as a witch. In the boys division, first place was awarded to Delmas Dodson, dressed as a werewolf. Mrs. Mills won First place in the teachers’ di- vision as a hobo queen. Poncho Villa, better known to some as Downing McCoy, wears fatigues, sombrero, and is carrying a machine gun belt and a real .44 caliber pistol. Ringling Brothers may be calling Gary Foster for his imaginative clown costume. Long johns, red gloves and socks, a wig, Fishing hat and makeup were all part of the illusion. 60 The Faithful Few From a crowd of 23 that joined in September, the Rappsody Staff quickly dwindled to a faithful few willing to donate their time and energies to preparing this year- book. Few people realize the hard work and dedication that is re- quired of each member of the staff. The staff elected to have meetings on Mondays. Due to the two members who were involved in Cross Country, three in Girls’ Basketball and one in Cheerlead- ing, the meetings were from 5 un- til 7 until the fall sports season was over. Seldom was the work finished in the one afternoon a week allotted for staff meetings. Falling lights, electrical shorts, blown bulbs, and bare wires often gave darkroom workers shocking experiences. A camera that jammed regularly added to the problems, as did a lagging econo- my which caused many merchants to decide against taking ads. A string of snow days at deadline time put the staff way behind their January deadline. Only by an all out effort were they able to get the book finished in time. For the first time there is color in the book, partially donated by Mr. and Mrs. Howard W. Hols- chuh of Castleton. Dawn Watson takes a breather after devot- ing many hours to layouts. Our devoted typist, Maxie Clark, is still able to smile after innumerable copy sheets. As Peggy Stephenson learns, whiting out typing errors can become a favorite pas- time.

The RCHS Choir brought song and music to the school and the surrounding community this year. Concerts were given for Christmas and spring, and choir members worked hard to prepare them. They also performed at the school assemblies for the holidays, and at Baccalaureate and Graduation. Mrs. Bomberger directed the choir as well as teaching students to read music. She taught them the proper way to sing, and was will- With their attention focused on Mrs. Bom- berger, the basses diligently work on get- ting the correct pitch.

Herb Tea And Slides Of Alaska “Herb Cookery” was the top- ic presented by Ms. Sherry Woodward, speaker during the organizational meeting of the FHA in November. Wreaths and other Christmas decora- tions were demonstrated by Ms. Duvall in the December meet- ing. “It felt like I was right there” was the reaction to the slides of Alaska shown by Ms. Holschuh. Mrs. Ellington and Mr. Hamer from Piedmont Vo- cational School came to speak on nursing and other programs available at Piedmont. “Calendars, calendars” was the call heard by all RCHS stu- dents during the FHA calendar sale in December and January. The money was used to send the succeeding president to the annual State Future Home- makers of America Convention. Other activities of FHA in- cluded a hike up Mary’s Rock in the spring of 1982, a field trip which had been cancelled pre- viously due to bad weather con- ditions. Smiles and laughter were shared by all who attend- ed the roller skating party held at Dominion Skating Center in Culpeper. The annual June pic- nic was held at South Wales. There was an inauguration of new officers in May. FHA has proven to be one of the most active clubs in the school this year. All members were able to participate in a va- riety of interesting activities. Officers: Cathy Atkins, Treasurer; Be- verly Settle, Secretary; Cindy Williams.

Helping Hands Unnoticed by many, these few devoted students certainly help to keep our library and gym rooms clean and running smoothly. They volunteer their study periods to assist Miss O’Bannon, Mr. Futrell, Miss Spieker, and Mr. Edmonson. Library Guidance jobs range from keeping track of students’ passes and straightening magazine stands to filing papers and getting students out of class to meet with Mr. Futrell. Gym aides check shower rooms and are student leaders in sports, conducting exer- cises, refereeing, and keeping track of equipment. These organizations prove that students do care and are willing to offer their time to help make our school a better place. Gym aides. Front row: Kristi Foster, Cindy Weaver, and Melissa Turner.

It provides equipment for KVG members and picks them up from school in the event of a fire. Members of the club are paid minimum hourly wage for their help and at the same time learn how to combat forest fires. With rakes, axes, chain saws, and water tanks, they cut brush and clear fir- elines to prevent the spread of for- est fires. In addition, they gain valuable knowledge which often leads them to join volunteer fire companies within the county.

Members of the National Honor Society devote their time and ef- fort to bake these cakes in order to finance a field trip in the spring. Sponsored by Miss Denise Nel- son, various fund-raising projects were discussed by the group. It was decided that they would con- tinue publishing the honor roll in the Rappahannock News and Sharon Scott proudly accepts Lori Frye's donation to the NHS cake fund. Offices.

Extra-cur- ricular activities and community services also play a large role in the evaluation of a student. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to strengthen the “honorable” qualities possessed by each member. By being active in this club during high school, students gain experience that can help lay the foundation for their future lives. Raffle tickets sold themselves once patrons got a taste of an NHS cake. 69 Piedmont Provides Training Piedmont Technical Educa- tion Center provides an abun- dance of opportunities for the students of RCHS. Serving the counties of Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock and Orange, the center serves over 70 RCHS students by teaching them trades. Students at Piedmont take classes in one of four program areas. Those areas are business education, health education, home economics education, and trade and industrial education. Within those four areas the courses of Auto mechanics, building trades, business data processing, cosmetology, draft- ing, electronics, fashion and tai- loring, food occupations, indus- trial maintenance mechanics, machine shop, nursing assis- tants, office services, practical nursing, senior intensified pro- gram (business), small engine repair, and welding programs are available. Also as a vital part of the vo- cational training, the students who attend Piedmont take part in the vocational student orga- nizations which serve their trade area. Student organiza- tions at Piedmont are FBLA- Future Business Leaders of America, HERO-Home Eco- nomics and Related Occupa- tions, HOSA-Health Occupa- tions Students of America, and VICA-Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. Serving the HERO chapter from RCHS is Connie Burke, Chairman of De- grees. FBLA officers from RCHS are Cindy Bywaters, Treasurer, and Troy Robinson, Vice President. Sharon Scott is secretary of the HOSA club. Putting into practice the repair techniques learned in his 1st year of Small Engine Repair, Charles Sutphin repairs a gener- ator.

First year Building Trades students, Eu- gene Pendleton and Kevin Dodson, run wires inside a bay to simulate housewiring. In Welding class, William Suddeth cuts the top out of a table which he plans to make into a welding table. 71 SCA Is For Everyone After writing his newspaper copy, Richie Burke catches up on his literature home- work. The Student Cooperative Asso- ciation, led by President Carolyn Butler, put many long hours into improving the school. Friday morning muchies were sold in the cafeteria. Each week, SCA repre- sentatives and officers would bring and sell plates full of deli- cious snacks. The money which was raised helped pay for assem- blies and other SCA projects. A spirit week was held March 15-19, during which students were able to show their bottled enthusi- asm. During this week, students and teachers were encouraged to show their spirit by dressing up for 50’s Day, Class Distinction Day, Mix and Match Day, Blue and Gold Day, and Green Day for St. Patrick’s. Spirit pins were sold for the first time this year. The pins were shaped like the school mascot, the panther. They sold for 1.25 at bas- ketball games and during lunch. During each monthly meeting, the SCA selected a Teacher of the Month. This person was then hon- ored with a cake baked by mem- bers. r • . 5� “0 Christimas tree, O Christmas tree . .. ”. A major project of the S.C.A. was to deco- rate and beautify the school during the Christmas holidays. 72 The SCA was also responsible for scheduling speakers, helping to set up and clean up, and in many cases, participating in the assem- blies at Thanksgiving and Easter. The officers and representatives do not make up the SCA, however. The SCA could not function with- out the whole student body. The SCA is for everyone.

Though there were no seniors on the squad, it didn’t stop these girls from giving their all to make this one of their best years yet. In any organization there will be differences in personalities, and this squad was not an exception. They just worked a little harder to make the differences balance out. This will to work and prevailing determination produced a well or- ganized and enthusiastic squad. Front Row: Peggy Stephenson, Cristol Porter, and Cathy Wingfield. Second Row: Kelly Bristol.

This year’s team was larger than those in the past. According to Miss Spieker, “Having a large number of guys on the team en- couraged everyone to try harder. There was more competition be- tween the team members.” With only seven runners allowed to par- ticipate in the Eastern Mennonite, District, Regional, and State Meets, the team members were competing among themselves in order to place. Eight young men became known as “the pack.” They ran each race as a unit. By crossing the finish line together, they were able to put the opponents back eight places. A new record was set for the school’s 2.7 mile course by co-cap- tain Scott Keithley with a time of fifteen minutes, fourteen seconds. The team’s hard work and deter- mination paid off with a second place trophy for the District Meet, and a third place finish in both the Regional and State Meets.

The team didn’t give up or “throw in the towel.’’ New coach, Miss Teresa MacLawhorn, ap- proached the season with high hopes and set goals for the team and for each team member. When asked how she felt after her first year, she said “I enjoyed it. I really did, and I am looking forward to another.’’ Then she added, “I hope to be around long enough to build a strong girls’ basketball pro- gram. Team captains, Lori Frye and Pam Estes, used their talents to keep the team unified. They took control on the court, as well as during practice and on the team bus.

Although the district season got off to a slow start, partially be- cause of the snow, it picked up to- ward the end. The Varsity’s first big win was over the Stonewall Jackson Generals at Stonewall Jackson. The Panthers defeated the Generals 53-52 with a last sec- ond jumper by guard Robert Myers. This, to say the least, sur- prised the undefeated Generals and lifted the spirits of our skilled Panthers. This year’s district teams were the closest matched in several years. The majority of the games were close, not taken without a fight and not lost without the op- ponent gaining knowledge of Pan- ther fury and pride.

Cheerleaders Exhibit Fervor Starting with unrefined talent, this group of girls, ranging from a Beastie to several Sophomores, quickly molded themselves into a polished unit.

Miss Valerie Geh- ringer, was a very “special team.” “Their talent and their dedication is so promising for the future.” Although the team was a very young team, consisting of over half eighth graders, they placed third in the district and missed go- ing to the Skyling District Tour- nament by only one game. The girls finished the season with a 12- 4 win loss record. “As a whole the team was talented and dedicated. They worked extremely hard, and like me, they all had a true desire to win,” said Miss Gehringer. When asked how she liked her first year of coaching Miss Geh- ringer said, “I can honestly say I loved it. I attribute this to the stu- dents, both girls and boys, that I was working with. I am a person who likes to get involved, and I am so glad I was given the job. I look forward to coaching in the years to come. They were my very first team, and I will never forget the experiences we shared together.

David, you’re always with me; you stay in my heart forever. I love ya, Edna. To Dale, the one that I will always love. Opie. Mark- Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in look- ing outward in the same direction. Robin Jim, our past is over and our fu- ture is just beginning “I love you”. Donna W’hen you feel down and out sing a song. It will make it better. Nay, our friendship is worth more than anything. Don’t change for anybody, stay wild crazy. Bird R. J. B. 32- I love you!

Love is a brick wall put up piece by piece, each brick building and strengthening the total wall. To my close friends- thanks for the good times. Good luck in the future. Love, Rhonda Dee It’s funny how some people can point out your problem when you didn’t know you had one. Thanks LWS for letting me learn. TRW Abdul, I’m sorry I killed you.

You finish the first 15 prob- lems of your math homework and find you were doing the Oral Exercises? You go to your gym locker Monday and find you forgot to wash your gym clothes? You give up your lead in the State Cross Country Meet be- cause of a broken shoestring? You leave your lunch at home and have to eat the school’s concentration camp left-overs? The refs make one bad call after another and leave the gym before you can get your hands on them? Your good pen falls through one of the little holes of your top locker and you never see the person who owns the bot- tom locker again?

A bloodmobile representative talked to the seniors about the im- portance of donating blood. Sen- iors were made aware of the schol- arship given by the Garden Club by Mrs. Martha Sutherland. Tammy Fritts is preparing for graduation by getting her head measured by a repre- sentative from the Collegiate Cap Gown Company. Maxie Clark and Bonnie Compton look over the display of class jewelry while they wait to purchase their cards and announce- ments. With many seniors planning to continue their education, Mrs. Martha Sutherland tells about the scholarship offered by the Garden Club. Ill Terri Tylek, the Junior Class Secretary, counts the daily profits from their candy sale. Junior Edward Summers anxiously awaits the delivery of his class ring from the Bal- four representative, Mr. Dave Kinton. 1 Unfortunately, not all of the dreams that were planned came into existence. The SCA spon- sored a Halloween Dress-up Day with only a handful of par- ticipants. With so many seniors active in extracurricular activi- ties, help from the underclass- men was needed for the senior play “Ten Little Indians”. There was not enough interest in a Hi-Y Club to have more than one meeting. School was closed on De- cember 22, the day before Christmas vacation, because of snow. This was a disappoint- Robert Myers makes one for the Panthers which helped Rappahannock defeat Brent- ville 59-35. Lost And Found ment for some since it was the second year in a row that school closed before the annual Christmas Assembly. Others felt relief that they could add a few extra days to their holiday vacation. An unexpected dream was a grace period from exams. Due to start on Friday, January 15, they were postponed because of snow and sleet. After an addi- tional grace day granted by Mr. Wingfield, exams did not begin until January 29. One of the dreams held by all Seniors is of Graduation. En- thusiasm ran high the first week of February when they or- dered their calling cards and announcements. They could tell it was approaching when on February 10 they were fitted for caps and gowns. Some expected dreams were never realized, while other un- expected ones were found though never planned. More important than whether or not dreams are reached is the work and effort that are put into them. 112
