During 1977 the yearlong project of the Student Council was raising money for construction of brick columns on either side of the driveway in front of the school. Therefore, many fund-raising projects were conducted. Student Council members sold RWA jerseys, bumperstickers, and tote bags. Also they sold hot chocolate during the cold weather and snow cones during the warm weather. Two dances and a car bash were also included in their projects. Homecoming and Fifties’ Day which are annual Student Council events were successful again this year.

The club has had numerous money-raising projects such as turkey shoots and raffles. It has also sold barbeque hash and has helped to sponsor the Back-to- School Supper, the Athletic Banquet, the Parent-Student Basketball Game, and the concessions at the basketball games. The Booster Club was responsible for developing and sodding the new athletic field. In addition, it has bought new varsity and JV cheerleader outfits, put a fence around the kindergarten, placed gravel on the school parking lot, acquired outfits for the football team, put up a backstop for baseball and girls’ softball, and is in the process of purchasing bleachers and lights for the athletic field. 46 During the year several programs were undertaken to raise money for RWA. The Harvest Festival, directed by Mrs. John C. Pope, was held on Dec. 4. As usual, everyone enjoyed this annual fall event. On March 30, the Tour of Homes was held for the first time. It included a tour of homes in Winnsboro, a salad luncheon at Bethel A.R.P. Church, and a bus tour of the historical sites of Winnsboro. Another project was the spice sale directed by Mr. Strickland. Grades 3-12 sold Gourmet spices at school and throughout the community. Prizes were awarded to the students selling the most spices. Each of these projects was a success due to the participation and cooperation of the faculty, parents, and students.
