The arrival of zealous students adds the warmth of human vitality to the cold halls. Chiming bells £end students scurrying to fulfill the quests of their yearning minds. Thus, the new day begins with an aura of novelty and enthusiasrp- m for acquiring knowledge. { 3 ' ; j ■ i s f iT+VfP v pmmrnL . , „ . • • L J The 1964 COLOSSEUM WILLIAM T. FRANCISCO Editor KENNETH MASON Assistant Editor GERALDING SHIFFLET WILLIAM MORRIS Business Managers Published by the Creative English Class of Riverheads High School Route 2, Staunton , Virginia STAUNTON PUBLIC LIBRARY Forever, In Our Hearts, Their In Memoriam There was a day in mid-November which all our nation will remember, when a man whose heart, so filled with hate destroyed our leader, so strong and great. Though he's dead, we bear the scar of him whose goodness beamed afar. In his lifetime, he did great deeds to meet our country's urgent needs. In our sad hearts, he lingers still. He inspires us now and always will to make our nation one great head for all who follow in our stead. So let the crusade for freedom ring, extirpate malice and evil's sting and make men brothers under God in the land where Kennedy once trod. © FABIAN BACHRACH JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY In November of 1963, a day of grief and shock dawned on our nation and evoked the latent emo¬ tions of all its peace-loving citizens. Obscure hate had risen from the heart of a disturbed American and had erupted in a heinous murder which stunned a nation. Drawn from the earth and his pinnacle of leader¬ ship was John F. Kennedy. Youth and vitality were epitomized in his every belief and action. Although our dynamic president was occupied with the efficient management of a democratic nation, he permitted no small essence of life to elude his grasp. Mr. Kennedy was a man, nourished by his faith in the Creator and sustained by his dependence on Divine Leadership. John F. Kennedy had become an effective synonym for the principles and morals upon which America was developed and is yet ameliorated. Truth and munificence pervaded his short but fruitful time of leadership. Now since he has taken his place with the ages and on history's pages, America will endeavor to enact his standards of peace and equality, undesecrat- ed by egotism and undue prejudice. Truth and goodness live on in memories. Thus, America's citizens will dedicate themselves as brothers, under God, in a democratic nation, dedicated to the pursuit of equality, stable liberty, and unviolated peace. 4 Memories Will Remain Aglow Here, we view the friendly image of our deceased friend, Jimmy Simmons. As the year, 1963-1964, dawned with an aura of promise, especially for the seniors, there was an ir¬ reparable void in the student body. During the pre¬ vious year, tragedy had removed Jimmy Simmons, a candidate for graduation in 1964, from the midst of his friends and fellow students. As the Class of '64 planned the many activities in which they would participate, as deserving seniors, the void was omnipresent in their minds. When at last they proceeded up the aisle of work and study to stand on the stage of reward to re¬ ceive their long-awaited certificates of attainment, more commonly known as diplomas, happiness and pride overwhelmed them. However, all experienced deep feelings of bereavement that their deceased friend could not share their fulfillments. Although Jimmy's physical presence will never again grace our domicile of education, the memory of his friendly smile, of his scholastic initiative, and of his willingness to be of assistance to his class¬ mates and friends will forever linger in the minds and hearts of the faculty and the student body. Students eagerly anticipate the moment when their principal, Mr. Cecil G. Layman, imparts to them sententious advice. His experience as an educator, assistant of adoles¬ cents, and as a responsible citizen as well as his friendly manner and firm character have won for him the respect of the entire student body. When the time arrives during which he delivers his annual mes¬ sage to the student assembly, all ears are turned his way, expectant¬ ly. All students are aware that Mr. Layman's rules and advice are for the general welfare and improve¬ ment of our student body and the reputation of our school. Words Of Wisdom Are Offered By Our Friend And Advisor To the student body: It is again the time of year when members of the COLOSSEUM Staff are culminating several months of feverish work in preparing your yearbook. May I congratulate each member of the staff and your sponsor for the outstanding work that has gone into this book, as you put into picture and word the second chapter of our school's brief history. This has been a good school year. It is the year that we graduate our first full Senior class. It has been a year of increased emphasis and strengthening of academic achievement and a year of continued success in athletics. The loyalty and enthusiasm of the student body and patrons has been tremendous. In less than two years, you have become'' Riverheads. With so much evidence today of a need for better citizens and a keener sense of responsibility, you the student body are demonstrating that you can accept the challenge. It is our aim to prepare each of you to take his rightful place in the community and to be a contributing member of society. We will endeavor to see that you attain the maximum of your ability. With the continued help and support from each of you, this can be done. Each of you has the obligation to yourself and to your fellow students. Through your actions, you will continue to have an outstanding school. Yours truly, 6 Table of Contents Academic Features Administration Classes Organizations Athletics Advertising Cover by 8 34 44 75 106 126 Dale Berry and Rebecca Lewis i f � f I As The New Day Dawns, Learning’s As the morning buses arrive, they transport stu¬ dents, eager to augment their mental capacities. All areas of our education department are concentrated on the supreme purpose of assisting them individually in their pursuits. Three curricular tracts, namely academic, general, and vocational are featured in our effective system of education. Contained in our academic field are the college preparatory courses and the courses required by the state board of education for every student. Among the vocational interests are homemaking, agriculture, industrial arts, and business education. Included in the general tract is the practical knowl¬ edge relevant to the students' chosen future careers. As the new day dawns, rather than being merely instructed in chosen subjects, the students share the excellent opportunity to gain personal experience in the application of the knowledge which they absorb. Even those young people who don't continue their education after high school will find a place in their futures to utilize the basic foundation of knowledge which high school offers. Forever, the memories and the understanding of subject matter, obtained at Riverheads, will be carried in the hearts of the youths who spent five joy-filled years within its brick walls. 8 Adventure Begins As that first bus passes over the early morning shadows, thoughts about new scholastic en¬ deavors stand foremost in the minds of all stu¬ dents. With an air of anticipation of the great events to occur in the school year, each student eagerly awaits the moment when he can again be with his friends and fellow students and when he can re-engage in the serious, rewarding task of accumulating knowledge. That first day aura of joy and pleasant anticipa¬ tion dwindles somewhat during the course of the year, but it is usually rekindled by the chal¬ lenges offered in the various departments of education. Scholastic feats, participation in athletics, club activities, school spirit, and friendship are all features of the Riverheads atmosphere which lure the students into the new school year. With so many fields of interest, all students are enabled to discover their unique talents and are encourag¬ ed to exercise them for the benefit of the entire student body. Our Academics Judy Hyde Emily McGay Feature Editors At last, that long-awaited moment of re-entry into the home of learning has arrived. Here three students begin the walk up the steps which lead to the door of wisdom. Mrs. Augusta Patterson, the school librarian, aids Nancy Cash in checking out a book at the library s circulation desk. The Library Provides A As the new day dawns , the sun sends its beams of radiant light through the windows of the most useful room in the school. The library becomes a busy place as students eagerly absorb knowledge from a student's best friend— the book . Pupils search for material dealing with their subjects of study, discovering at the same time that their library is able to cope with all reference problems. The library began as a small collection, but as the new day dawns, it appears that our library has become larger and more useful. New books arrive Though once held in low esteem, the book worm now holds his own. Educators and philosophers agree that today's success depends chiefly upon the bookworm. Shown above are bookworms (left to right) Gloria Myers, Denay Trykowski, Linda Rosen, Carolyn Thomas, Rachael Simmons, Thelma Wheeler, Darlene Sorrells, Estelle Campbell, Lois Conner, Judy Clemmer, Susan Young, and Linda Lotts. 10 continuously, and after being processed, they are placed on the shelves to the joy of the students. A variety of twenty-eight magazines, both weeklies and monthlies, are also offered as a source of literature for the pupils, as well as a display of paper-back books which the students may purchase through the library. Should problems arise the students seek the as¬ sistance of Mrs. Augusta Patterson, the librarian, or the student assistants , who aid Mrs. Pat¬ terson in library duties. These helpers assist in caring for the library by typing catalogue cards and lists of books, and working at the circulation desk. The library also stores and circulates all visual aid materials, projectors, record players, and other teaching aids. These are ordered through the library by Mrs. Patterson, and they provide the faculty with necessary tools for teaching. As the day closes and the windows of the build¬ ing darken, the students leave with new thoughts attained from books— the keys to knowledge. Mrs. Augusta Patterson checks a new shipment af popular paper¬ backs. Source Of Inspiration A student assistant, Tedd Webb, returns books to their proper shelves while pupils bend studiously over their books. Brenda Allman and Linda Lotts learn the art of bread making, while Betty Arehart and Stella Bower demonstrate the importance of a clean kitchen. Homemaking education in high school is concern¬ ed with the application of knowledge to the job of homemaking and family living, and with the growth of individuals as contributing members of the com¬ munity. As the new day dawns girls are being educated as homemakers for the present as well as for the future. A primary goal is the development of basic be¬ liefs concerning the family. These beliefs and skills become more important as society becomes more complex and the family is faced w ith problems affect¬ ing their health, happiness, and economic well being. Opportunities Are Gained The homemaking students learn the importance of each individual's acceptance of responsibility, the value of carefully made plans, and the essence of work well done. The real value of homemaking lies in solving problems. Through home economic ex¬ periences girls gain much of the know how in con¬ structive modes of living in a family group. Linda Stover and Joann Long prepare enticing sandwiches in the home economics room. 12 jf- . : a.'

Materials used are two chairs, sheets and blankets. Through Experience Girls, like Betty Hutchins, enjoy the spaciousness of the the home economics room, and its conveniences. In the home nursing course, pupils learn how to care for the sick. The course helps them to develop a sense of responsibility in offering aid to injured and unfortunate individuals. In learning through direct experience they, too, can help their community— a capability they will value in later life. Sylvia Davis and Jennifer Ramsey display a beautifully set table in a home economics class. 13 Jack Weiss, Victor Arehart, Roger Armstrong, Sammy Fauber, and Roger Harris, under the instruction of Mr. Hollinger, use the equipment offered to them for constructive work. Skill Is Acquired In The arts of industry are so diversified and so many in number that volumes are written to cover the many skills and jobs included in these areas. Thousands of jobs are listed in dictionaries of occupations that stem from the various phases of industry. In studying industrial arts we attempt to introduce students to a few basic ideas and skills that will be closely connected to many types of industry. We do not expect to train a person to be skilled in any one field, but only to introduce him to these areas and attempt to show him the available possibilities. In some areas of the country, industrial arts has taken on a broader concept in the field of vocational training. When this is possible, students, after hav¬ ing a year of exploratory experience in various fields on industry, can choose one of his interests and pursue that area of study for another three or four years. This often includes double periods where enough time can be spent to achieve a degree of proficiency enabling the student to get a job in the field when leaving high school. Many of these can be followed with further study in technical schools which are becoming more and more available throughout the country. I 14 Areas explored in schools depend largely on facilities available. At present, this department in our school is involved in the study of drawing, metalwork, woodworking, and electricity. First year boys study one of these areas for the entire year. A good understanding of drawing in all of these fields is important for all items of any consequence have their beginning on the drawing board. A student with an interest in the above should acquire appreciation of design, appreciation of good workman¬ ship, and an ability to work side by side with his fellow man in a situation similar to that which he will find in industry. Shown using the new equipment for preparing a board for cabinet work are Rusty Wright and Joe Lotts. Looking on is William Smiley. r i r industrial Arts Classes Working industriously in this spacious and well equipped room are (from left to right) Fred Smiley, David Swortzel, Gerald Grogg, Robert Morris and Fred Shultz. Agricultural Study Encourages Resourcefulness Mr. Jenkins acquaints his pupils, Hank Hevener, Steve Kehrer, Arthur Beverly, James Harris, David Swortzel, Richard Morris, Guy Sweet, and John Wagner, with the body structure of a cow. Many opportunities are opened to the boys that take the available courses of agriculture at Riverheads. The branches of study included are electricity, tractor, maintenance, and arc welding. Vocational Agriculture proves to be a practical and educational course as it helps to prepare stu¬ dents for careers in the total industry of agricul- ture such as farming, soil conservation, dairying, and forestry. The boys enrolled in these classes, under the instruction of Mr. Jenkins, become acquainted with the know-how needed for successful agricul¬ tural projects. In the future they will take a vital role in the welfare and prosperity of our country. Their success will stem from their attainment of knowledge and experience in high school. Shown above are members of Mr. Jenkins' agriculture classes. In the background Mr. Jenkins is supervising. 16 Working diligently under the instruction of Mr. Reed are: (left to right) Eddie Desper, Charles Wagner, Sam Sensabaugh, Joe Smiley, Stuart Young, Lynn Allen, David Lotts, Carol Young, and Tedd Webb. Mechanical Drawing Encourages Accuracy The objectives of the course in mechanical draw¬ ing aim to familiarize the students with the use of all materials and instruments such as the bow pencil, the divider, the ruling pen, the T-square, triangles, and protracters. Pupils are given practice in draw¬ ing, and they constantly encounter drafting situa¬ tions. Their training opens fields for such occupa¬ tions as a machine drafting, architectural drafting, highway drafting, sheet metal layout, and aircraft engineering. Class members draw examples of all of these, and at the same time they become acquaint¬ ed with the symbols and terms used in mechanical drawing. A major project, which required the last six to nine weeks of the school year to complete, was the extensive designing of a house. Here the architec¬ tural drawing was put to use. In wiring it and adding a heating system the art of electrical drafting was used. The final step, that of locating the house on a lot and landscaping it, epitomizes a productive, and practical year. 17 A group of seniors here are under the direction of Mrs. Woodall in a course of Mathematics 12. Sandra Bailey is involved in drawing a line on the black board in an eighth grade math class. 18 The Study Of Mathematic The new type of mathematics offered to the stu¬ dents at Riverheads includes such courses as gen¬ eral math for eighth graders. Algebra I for ninth graders, plane and solid geometery for tenth grad¬ ers, advanced algebra and trigonometry for eleventh and twelfth graders, and some advanced studies such as College algebra, calculus, and probabilities for twelfth graders. That which distinguishes this new mathematics from the old is the language used and the procedures used in solving the problems. Such terms as sets , number lines , and numbers of bases other than ten are introduced in all classes. These courses aim to increase the logical rea¬ soning power, practical application, and creative thinking of the pupils. Also it is a valuable prepara¬ tion for college bound students. The Pythagorean Theorem is being demonstrated by Mr. Larry Hul to his fifth period geometry class. Donnie Hanger, attired in an FFA initiation costume, is working a problem on the board in General Math. 1 Increases Aptitude These courses in the field of mathematics lead to fu¬ ture opportunities in the areas of engineering, space education dealing with modern astronomy, surveying, mathematics teaching, and lab technology. Ann Fitzgerald, Sharon Landes, Glenda Hancock, Sandra Harris, and Sandra Kehrer pose behind this miniature railroad bridge. It was con¬ structed with exact measurements in proportion to a standard railroad. The collection of license plates on the bulletin board in the background is also a project of Mr. Unruh's eighth grade mathematics class. The sturdiness of the railroad bridge is almost unbelievable, and to see Glenda Reed sitting upon it makes one believe that she is merely an optical illusion. 19 Mrs. Belveal has the attention of (left to right) Finley Lotts, Mike Kasuba, Jennifer Ramsey, Gary Rosen, Janet Mooneyham, Ruth Fitzgerald, Day Young, Ginsy Patterson, Sylvia Davis, Brenda Craig, Judy Bazzrea, Vickie Jo Clemmer, Janet Cash, and Janice Ramsey as she instructs them in an advanced composition class. English Is The Foremost Subject Never before has the following quotation had greater meaning: The pen is mightier than the sword. Improving writing skills and achieving clearness of expression are two of the goals of Riverheads English Classes. Five units in English are required for graduation. The regular English classes consist of grammar, com¬ position and literature units. Nearly all college bound students, and many vocational students enroll in at least one of the specialized English classes which are Creative English and Advanced Composition. Creative English, which is open to eleventh and twelfth grade students, provides opportunity for writing essays, poems, and short stories. Also includ¬ ed are units of study in public speaking and journal¬ ism. The Advanced Composition class is open to twelfth grade students only. It provides training in organiza¬ tion and presentation of ideas in thematic forms as well as research in depth. Its purpose is to achieve skill and proficiency in all types of objective and expository writing. A new offering this year is a class in remedial reading, taught by Mrs. Lyle Humphries. Material provided by the Science Research Associates (SRA) is used, and recommended procedures are followed. Plans are being made to enlarge facilities so that the remedial reading class will be available to more stu¬ dents each year. The English teachers at Riverheads, along with other English teachers of the country, are preparing an outlined course of study which will unify and improve subject content on each grade level. 20 In addiiion to vocabulary drill, and mechanics of English, Mrs. Linda Belveal teaches English Literature to the twelfth grade. With pride the seniors announce their ability to recite the first eighteen lines of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. In The Field Of Learning William Francisco demonstrates the art of public speaking in the Creative' English class. Other projects developed are essay writ¬ ing, poetry writing and analysis and short story writing. Mrs. Mollie Ramsey is the class instructor. F.F.A. initiation fails to deter Mrs. Betty Eby from developing her ninth grade English unit. An unidentified boy demonstrates his ability to diagram a sentence. Mrs. Dulce Borosso also teaches one section of English Nine. The eighth grade English classes, taught by Mrs. Anna Lee Humphries, learn the fundamentals of the English language. Emphasis is placed upon correct sentence structure and paragraph building. r k li .'4 L MMI r2 t v - ! 1 1 ■ It _ w Members of the senior class assimilate essential and interesting knowledge about their federal administration and the various regions of gov¬ ernmental concentration. This class instructed by Mr. Robinson. Social Studies Include Many Interests As each new day dawns, students, involved in various social studies classes become cognizant of the world, its controversies, its serious dilemmas, and the importance of social studies concerning the maint¬ enance of a democratic nation. Aspects of social studies differ appreciably but combine to form a chain of knowledge, dependent upon all its links. Whereas U.S. History students strive to acquire general knowledge pertaining to our ever-growing world. Government students delve in¬ to the principles by which our democratic nation is governed, while World Geography pupils view the world from a purely geographic eye. In these social studies classes, methods of research are studied and utilized in preparing term papers and informative reports. Personal creativity, too, is encouraged, especially in the form of relative proj¬ ects. As the new day ends, pupils leave their social studies, classes, informed and eager to augment their knowledge in order to someday take their places in society as responsible, capable citizens. 22 Mr. Downey's instructions are eagerly absorbed by his avid world geography students who concentrate on the geographic aspect of social studies. In addition to geo¬ graphy Mr. Downey also teaches economics. Here Mr. Robinson explains some geographical details to Janet Cash, whose inquiring mind will assure her of wide opportunities. Another class instructed by Mr. Robinson is World His¬ tory. World History pupils concern themselves with the de¬ velopment of modern civilization from the age of prehistoric darkness. Mrs. Scarce points out the Texas annexation to her class of enthusiastic college-bound juniors. Also this class studied the method by which all U. S. territory was acquired and the results of these acquisitions on national prosperity. Beth Small receives instruction from Mrs. Scarce concerning the Louisiana Purchase. By close cooperation between stu¬ dents and their teacher much can be accomplished with pleasure and unwaning interest. Here Mr. Unruh explains the mechanics of a locomotive to Bill Morris, Russell Potter, Ernest Prater, Mike Kasuba, Wayne Bradley, Ted Lucas, and Robert Humphries, who are members of the physics class. Students Anticipate Scientific Advances As each new day dawns, our youths become increasingly aware of science's essence on the future of our world and its progress. Daily, news of break¬ throughs in various scientific fields are announced and serve as inspirations to our aspiring students of science. Eighth and ninth grade students pursue genera science, thus gaining valuable foundation knowledge upon which to expand their adeas in later study of the advanced sciences. Biology is the life science, studied by mostly tenth graders. In this class, students retrace the evolutionary ladder, rung by rung. By way of lab¬ oratory dissection, the anatomy and vital functions of various animal forms are studied. Eleventh and twelth grade pupils study chemistry and physics. In chemistry, students ponder the com¬ position of matter, the metric system, methods of chemical calculations, and also make personal lab¬ oratory experiments essential to complete compre¬ hension of the theory portion of the course. Physics is a class in which matter and energy are studied. Mechanics and methods of mathematical computation are factors comprising the major por¬ tion of physics. Both basic and advanced instruction in the various sciences prepare today's capable students for the vast store of opportunities in progress which the future holds for those who grasp for advancement and seek improvement. 24 Miss Emswiler informs her scientifically minded students con¬ cerning the fundamentals of general science. Thus they may ex¬ pand their ideas after having pursued the higher sciences. With fundamentals, students edify a firm foundation which will main¬ tain the rewarding burden of advanced education. Learning to operate properly a Bunsen burner is one of the basic fundamentals of practical chemistry. Here, we see that Bill Lunsford has succssfully mastered the task. Ted Webb and James Wright learned to carefully manipulate lab¬ oratory equipment in order to successfully carry out relevant experi¬ ments. The glass tubing being prepared in the above experiment was used in the establishment of distillation apparatus. In order to record correctly important data essential to progress in chemistry, Alice Houston, Emily McGay, Dixie Marcum, and Linda Rosen use the laboratory's precision instruments. Second year typing students make their clicking machine sound like music as they busily work to complete requisite work and to gain valuable experience. Ruby Hanger, Barbara Smith, Jean Beverly, Bill Phillips, Geraldine Shifflett, Willie Gaddy, and Pat Thompson prepare for future endeavors in the world of business. Youth Prepares For Business Endeavors Members of our business courses will indeed be capable of assuming serious responsibilities in the rapid pace of progress in tomorrow's business world. Valuable training and experience are acquired in the skills of typing— personal and business, in bookkeep¬ ing artifices, in shorthand skills for purposes of speed and precision, and in the fundamentals neces¬ sary to practical applications of theoretical learning. Many young people preparing to enter a business vocation build, in these classes, a foundation upon which to edify principles of skill and efficiency to be gained in schools, specializing in business instruc¬ tion. As the new day dawns, business opportunities brighten the horizon of progress and lure enthusias¬ tic youths into its atmosphere of continual betterment and unlimited chances for personal promotions. 26 Joyce Fanning, Brenda Chandler, Lucy Brown, Janet Cash, Willie Gaddy, Janet Mooneyham, Ellen Rankin and Pat Thompson busily pursue the attention-requiring art of bookkeeping. However by pleasant expressions on the faces of the minority Steve Kehrer and Roger Armstrong that the demands of the class has not gotten the best of them. Students in this class under the instruction of Mr. Rudolph Hull acquire skills in filing income tax forms, business accounts and in maintaining accurate balance sheets over a fiscal period. At the time shown above, the group had just begun the beloved task of filling out class projects. Diligent Practice Perfects Manual Skills During the fifty-five minute duration of third period, it is not uncommon to see Carolyn Groah, a prominent member of the Senior class, busily pecking away on her Underwood Five. Having endured the basic fundamentals of Typing I, Carolyn is now pursuing advanced skills in typewriting, tabulating, letterwriting and even more important, by working part-time in the office, she is practically ap¬ plying her knowledge. In the picture we see that she is applying her knowledge to the art of typing a neat business letter. Pat Thompson, Martha Corbin, Kathy Bailey, Becky Lou Cash, Jill Young, Wyatt Lawrence, Dale Griffith, Jo Ann Long, Jeanette Fix, Linda Lotts, Martha Hanger, Joan Clemmer, Ernest Prater, Wayne Bradley, and Willie Gaddy, with the expert aid of Mrs. Prater, experience vicariously the thrills of Caesar's noted conquests. From the cheerful expressions on their faces, it is evident that Latin is very much alive. They Understand The Alien Tongues As each new day evolves from the night of dark¬ ness, our pupils discover that from the foreign lang¬ uages our native tongue, English, evolved. Although those who walk the rocky itinerary of Latin often consider Latin to be dead, they extract valuable knowledge from it which aids them in the complete understanding of their native tongue. More in league with the space age are those stu¬ dents who delve into the modern languages, French and Spanish. Their knowledge of the alien tongues assists them in their comprehension and appreciation of English. Students of all three languages major in the funda¬ mentals of grammar and composition in their respec¬ tive languages. They minor in the study of the civili¬ zation and culture enveloping the country from which their chosen languages emanated. Whereas Latin students adhere closely to transla¬ tion and writing, French and Spanish pupils endeavor to master the speech of the language as well as its form. Each language is studied over a duration of two years so that mastery of its complexities may be attained with a minimum of toil. 28 To a native of America, any mention of France suggests romance and intrique. However, to Gene Rosen, Judy Bazzrea, Ted Lucas, Ruth Fitz¬ gerald, Vicky Clemmer, Becka Thomas, Jennifer Ramsey, Gary Rosen, Janice Ramsey, and Ginsy Patterson, second year French students, it sug¬ gests mastery of France's beautiful manner of speaking and writing. French II consists of translation, speech, composition, and study of Fr ance's manner of living. As college-bound students, each member of the class will benefit from Mrs. Head's instruction and gain an insight into another country's civilization. oo Paula Bailey, Joyce Fanning, Peggy Hundley, Jill Webb, Linda Rosen, Beth Small, and Joyce Law, students of Spanish II, await with interest the instruction of their erudite teacher, Mrs. Barroso. Since their class is unusually small, each student has the rewarding opportunity to receive individual aid and to pursue the language at an accelerated pace. Having survived the first year of intensified grammar and exercises in composing in Spanish, these young people are now well-prepared to commence the process of mastering the speech of a tongue quite different from their own. Also, they are fully equipped to understand Spanish when it is spoken by another. The culture of Spain and her outlying territories is also of interest to those who so diligently pursue her melodic language. Under the watchful, but understanding eyes of Mr. Hunter Talbott and two student helpers, we see one of the tenth grade physical education classes engaging in a program of exercises, designated to increase the physical strength of each student. Physical Activities Strengthen As each new day dawns, it brings countless de¬ mands, both mental and physical, on our youths. Healthy, strong bodies are a must for a fruitful existence. Therefore, in order that today's adolescents may develop their physical strength for tomorrow's challenges, it is essential that they commence physical training very early. Our physical education classes are dedicated to the purpose of aiding young people in the edification of their physical potentials. For this reason, calis thenics constitute a vital portion of daily physical education activities. Whereas the boys engage in an extremely vig¬ orous program of exercises, the girls adhere to a less strenuous and yet quite effective schedule of phy¬ sical training. Indoor and outdoor sports, too, play an essential role in the development of young bodies. Among the outdoor activities are: football, soccer, hockey, baseball, softball, and track. Indoor sports include basketball, volleyball, and tumbling. How¬ ever, Friday is a day of promise. With its dawn, physical education students indulge in coeducational dancing. Mental resources are not neglected by physical education classes. For the sole purpose of enhancing mental abilities, health classes operate. In their re¬ spective classrooms, boys and girls study the human body, its vital functions, its anatomy, and its mainte¬ nance. Also, the students are introduced to ele¬ mentary psychology. 30 Here, it seems as though Barbara Shuey, Thelma Wheeler, and Claudia Switzer have become exhausted from those Awful ex¬ ercises. For their haven of respite, they have chosen the soft, red mat upon which they ar;e accustomed to tumbling. Indicative that physical education is a class from which much pleasure' is derived are the scintillating smiles of these three girls. Will their smiles be quite so bright when Miss Harlow finds that they have vanished from the scene of the daily activities? Of course, but everyone is aware that growing girls require their beauty rest. Our gymnasium is an inspiring spot for resting, playing, participating in competitive sports, or just daydreaming. Flanked on both sides by inviting bleachers, the smooth, lus¬ trous floor smiles as if it knows exactly what action will occur on its vast surface. Guard¬ ing all who enter the doors of our beautiful gymnasium are the four restful walls between whose being many glorious, unforgettable memories are accumulated. Bodies And Stimulate Minds To the ninth grade students, driver education courses are offered. Classroom instruction in this course includes the study of safe driving habits, the automobile, its functions, and its maintenance. On the road training is available to ninth grade students and all other interested persons who are eligible to receive their learner's permits. Mr. Byron Quick instructs the young people in on the road techniques. Rather than just being an organized class of physical training, physical education offers to all ado¬ lescents an opportunity to acquire an appreciation for sports, to edify a sense of fair play, to l earn the value of cooperative teamwork, and to create an atmosphere of belonging. Thus, each student may feel free to discover his own unique talents and physical abilities while he participates in wholesome recreation and simultaneously enriches his mind. Even those students who are more at home in a pure academic world enjoy themselves while they develop their physical possibilities. Under the expert management of Miss Edith Har¬ low and Mr. Hunter Talbott, our physical education classes are concentrated on assisting young people to become well-rounded individuals, physically, men¬ tally, and morally. 31 D onald Buchanan, Sarah Palmer, Lucy Brown, Linda Rosen, the art teacher, Mr. Reed, Patty Gordon, Ellen Hughes, and Donna Liptrap initiate the exciting art of basketweaving. This craft is only one of the many interest-evoking crafts in which members of the third period class indulged. Art Students Appreciate And Create Beauty Under the capable leadership of Mr. Harold Reed, Riverheads art students learned to appreciate the beauty portrayed in the works of the masters and also to create beauty from themselves. Throughout the first semester, art students pursued skills in metal tooling, wood sculptures, making pottery and clay sculpture, and making mosaic from both paper and tile. These endeavors were alternated with weeks of drawing, both indoors and outdoors. Types of drawing made by the students were: perspective, landscape, and drawings made as a result of using student models. were amazed at the strange creations exhibited by our young artists. Second-semester efforts included: drawing and painting with water colors, crayons, and tempera, crafts consisting of jewelry making, etching, enamel¬ ing, soldering, and basket weaving. Many art students, in anticipation of using the art department's new kiln, purchased clay from which they manufactured pottery. For beauty, there will always be a place in the future. Perhaps some of our talented students will take their places with creative masters of the ages. cV C_ cERoNmoee’0' c':bon mo - . v J Under the expert guidance of Mr. Vernon T. Lewis, Billie Marcum, Sandra Fitzgerald, Charlene Manspile, and Sharon Fitzgerald diligently practice for the All State Chorus. In reward for their persevering work and respective achievements, these girls were chosen to represent Riverheads in the long-anticipated congregation of schools. x Ou aJL • 2) Toward The Future , Our Youths Advance With Music Since the major project of our fast-improving band was the preparation for All State, it is only fair to publicize the tremendous amount of work which has gone into the endeavor. This year's Regional District 5 All State, was the guest of Lane High School, Charlottesville. Three days, January 31, February 1 and 2, were filled with rehearsals, and the concert concluded the weekend of fun. Of the thirty three bands represented, the River- heads Gladiator Band was one. Three Gladiator Band members participating in this event were: Rebecca Lewis (oboe), Steve Blackard (clarinet), and Deborah Lewis (flute). Rebecca Lewis, a Junior, has studied under the direc tion of M. J. Newman, University of Georgia, Clarence Sawhill, U.C.L.A., and Dr. William Jones of the Chicago Symphony. She has attended music camp at Tarleton State College, West Texas University, East Carolina State College, and Camp Summers, West Virginia. Rebecca won five first place solo and ensemble medals and two twirling medals. In previous years, she has participated in All State Band and served as an alternate. Besides the oboe, she plays also the piano and clarinet. Steve Blackard, a freshman, was a member of the All State Workshop Band last year at Winchester. He has also participated in various other band festivals. Formerly, Steve was a member of the Stuarts Draft Elementary Band. Playing the clarinet, he has studied under the direction of Miss Carol Gallagher, Mr. Vernon T. Lewis, Mr. Weekly, Mr. Griffith, and Mr. Hill. Our sophomore representative, Deborah Lewis, has studied under Verne E. Collins, Shenandoah Con¬ servatory of Music, M. J. Newman, University of Georgia, and Clarence Sawhill, U.C.L.A., Deborah, who plays the flute, has attended Tarleton State Col¬ lege Summer Music Camp at Stephenville, Texas, West Texas State University Summer Music Camp, East Carolina Summer Music Camp, and Camp Summers of West Virginia. Playing in All State District 6 Band in '62-63, she has won medals, and has placed first in various solo and ensemble contests. Deborah also plays the piano. As guest conductor, Dr. Grier M. Gilliams, director of the Davidson College Band, Davidson, North Carolina directed the Concert Band. Mr. Leo Imperial, director of the Granby High School Band of Norfolk, Virginia was the guest conductor for the Workshop Band. Indeed we should be overwhelmed with pride that our Band has grown from a small group of musical enthusiasts into a well-organized, competent group of student musicians. Too, our entire school pays tribute to Mr. Vernon T. Lewis and the Riverheads band for their meritorious attainments. 33 As A New Day Dawns Many Work As a new day begins, dependable teachers ar¬ rive at school to assist each student in the ful¬ fillment of his mental capacities. Teachers arrive at school and begin their daily routine of signing in and checking their mailboxes. Riverheads faculty members, who maintain close contact, work together harmoniously. Every morning teach¬ ers may be found conferring together in the office or occasionally relaxing in the lounge. Mrs. Taylor keeps the mimeograph machine humming during the morning hours duplicating tests that the diligent teachers have prepared the night before . . . for the sometimes unsuspecting students. During the period before school one can find many students waiting patiently to be admitted to the administration offices to have an absence or a tardy slip signed. 34 Within these pages we tell the story of our administration. These are the men and women who work diligently to shape our future. Respon¬ sibility for the Augusta County schools is a dif¬ ficult task, but our School Board and Supervisors take every problem in stride. At Riverheads High School we are particularly proud of our adminis¬ tration and faculty. Keeping Riverheads High School running smoothly takes outstanding ability plus the will to work. Our administration pos¬ sesses these and many other qualities that enable them to perform their duties with ease. As stu¬ dents of Riverheads our closest contact is with the faculty. We have learned to know and respect them for what they have given to us and River¬ heads High School. On Our Behalf Our Administration Mr Sam F. McClure, Jr., representative from Riverheads District, and Mr. Hugh Cassell, superintendent of schools are shown discussing future goals and plans of River¬ heads High School. Much time and effort is spent in improving the educational system of the school. William Francisco Kenneth-Mason Editors : Hkf i ' : l Jp i Vi’I jgjjr |1 1 V .( f wL ■' Since Mr. Hugh Cassell became the Superintendent of Augusta County Schools in 1946, he has display¬ ed outstanding leadership ability which has been an asset in the guidance of the schools in our locality. Mr. Cassell is to be commended for his meritorious service, in past years, highlighted by the supervision of the construction of the four efficient new con¬ solidated schools. His cognizance of new methods, and his interest in modern trends are contributing factors to his effective leadership. Mr. Cassell has also been active in civic activities, Boy Scout troops, and religious organizations. MR. HUGH K. CASSELL, M.Ed. Duke University Effective Leadership Is Appreciated MR. S.

By Faculty And Students Augusta County public schools are operated under local administrative supervision of a six-member school board composed of one member from each of the county's six magisterial districts. The present board members are educationally progressive, and dedicated to advancement of opportunities for stu¬ dents. Board members have a vote of confidence and gratitude from the students and patrons of River- heads High School. With pride we note the exceptional educational background of each school board member. Exemplifi¬ cation of their industry and integrity is their success in the business world. Their knowledge and ex¬ perience equip them to deal wisely with the Augusta County educational system. Augusta County has a school board that is fully prepared to provide beneficial education for the youth that will one day assume places of leadership. 37 OBOL ® %J H, M. AAR. CECIL G. LAYAAAN JR., Principal MRS. AAARY LOU TAYLOR B.S., Davis-EIkins College School Secretary AA.Ed., Springfield College Administrators Set Under the capable auspices of Mr. Cecil G. Layman, our beneficent principal, the intricate details of ad¬ ministration are enacted -for the welfare of the stu¬ dent body. On hand to give cooperation and as¬ sistance is Mrs. Mary Lou Taylor, Secretary. Besides carrying out official responsibilities, Mr. Layman is like the patriarch of a large, unified family. His ears are always open to the problems and con¬ flicts of the students. Turning aside from difficulties is definitely not one of Mr. Layman's liabilities; all who seek ad¬ vice and aid are welcomed to share their burdens with him whose unfaltering strength withstands the enormous task of administrations. Indeed, our principal is worthy of the labor with which he has been entrusted. All students and patrons can rest assured that their welfare will be foremost in Mr. Layman's heart and mind as he enacts his duties, so essential to the amelioration of today's youth iYid tomorrow's citizens. Mr. Mark Pace, our dynamic assistant principal, is a buttress to our administative tower. His diligence in enacting his responsibilities makes for the smooth pace at which Riverheads administrative matters proceed. Regulating athletic activities and transporting to and from school our students is a vital portion of Mr. Pace's huge world of responsibility. However, student and faculty welfare are never overshadowed by his preoccupation with business matters. He, too, con¬ cerns himself chiefly with the students as unique indi¬ viduals, having unique conflicts and harboring indi¬ vidual aspirations. Although Mr. Pace seeks to adhere to his work, he is never too busy to lighten the onus of a troubled adolescent. With such character Mr. Pace possesses, students are in the hands of a man, adept in under¬ standing them and in aiding them over the rough spots in their young lives. Youth can ascend to infinite heights with the support of a man whose career is dedicated to the education and assistance of young people. 38 MARK PACE, B.S. Virginia Polytechnical Institute t Shown above are Mrs. Ramsey our guidance director and Mr. Phillips, guidance counselor. While surveying the guidance department, we find that it is handled by our extremely capable director, Mrs. Mollie H. Ramsey, assisted by guidance counselor, Mr. Clayton B. Phillips. Both of these individuals are well prepared for the difficult task of helping students plan the subjects that they should take in preparation for higher education. Both Mrs. Ramsey and Mr. Phillips display much versatility in this field, for not only are they capable of counseling the students who intend to go to college, but also the students who wish only to receive their high school diploma and the potential drop-out. Counselors Assist Students 'll Guidance Facilities Are Increasing Guidance facilities include two separate coun¬ seling rooms, each one equipped with a desk and three chairs. A third room is furnished with a large work table, chairs and filing cabinets in which are kept standardized tests results, pro¬ files, interpretive manuals and report cards. Other cabinets contain scholarship information, college profiles, college catalogs and occupational infor¬ mation. A fourth room is equipped with filing cabinets containing cumulative record folders of each student now enrolled. Kept separately are records of transfers and drop-outs. A fifth room is used for filing reports of past graduates. Mrs. Ramsey discusses possible schedules with an eleventh student. grade MRS.

Staff Provides Nourishment And Comfort As one looks at Riverheads High School one finds a willing student body, excellent teachers and a beautiful building. An im¬ portant element in the maintenance of the school is the staff that keeps the building in good repair. This staff, headed by Mr. Prater, can often be found at the school hours after the students have gone home in the evening, and long before anyone else arrives i n the morning. Pictured here from left to right are Mr. Charles Prater, Frank Lotts, and Raymond Buchannan. 43 jiii J As The New Day Dawns, The The respective class to which a student belongs becomes especially important at 11:45 each morning. The sound of this particular bell is an invitation to the students who are fortunate to eat during the first lunch period. Upperclassmen enjoy one outstanding privilege— that of going first through the lunch line. Seniors form the first group to be served by the cafeteria staff. It is their prerogative to sit down and eat leisurely while the eleventh, tenth, ninth eighth graders look longingly at filled plates as they await their respective turns. WITH THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY-wearing away, one half of the student body forms a second lunch line at 12:30, and repeat the process. 44 With the dawn of each new day, as each class steps forward in the lunch line, so does each step forward in anticipation of electing new class officers, establishing new objectives, and financ¬ ing class projects. One of the most interesting and rewarding projects of the classes was the financing of the Junior-Senior Prom. The tenth grade class spon¬ sored a Hootenanny in which students from every class participated. In January of 1964, a Talent Show was held. Students from every class were featured in this hour-long program of comedy routines, songs, and dances. Our Classes Classes Step Forward Ruby Hanger Alice Houston Gloria Meyers Susan Whistleman Jimmy Wright Editors As the first dismissal bell rings, the upperclassmen, who have their homerooms downstairs, hurry to their buses. With the sounding of the second dismissal bell a multitude of jaded underclassmen, laden with books, vacate their upstairs homerooms. Eager to arrive home for some relaxation, many students are disillusioned at the thought of the impending hours of homework. The year that has long been awaited by the Class of '64 has finally arrived. The sixty-three Seniors have made a fine showing in their two years at Riverheads, with eleven senior boys on the varsity football team, two senior girls on the varsity cheerleaders, seven senior boys on the varsity basketball team, five senior boys running track, and eight senior boys playing baseball. Many of the seniors also participated in the following extracurricular activities: the Honor Society, F.F.A., F.H.A., S.C.A., F.T.A., The Band, Choral, Ensemble, Safety Club, Library Club, Forensics, and Publications Staff. The Class of '64 furnished the first Junior-Senior Prom and are now looking forward to having a prom given in their honor. Seventeen members of the senior class put on a play entitled Room for One More. Students who did not par¬ ticipate before the audience served in other capacities by operating lights, assisting with props, serving as prompters and applying the necessary make-up. October was a special month because the cherished rings which arrived bore the proud crest of River- heads High. The graduating class of 1964 had two kind and understanding sponsors who were Mrs. Alice Prater and Mrs. Linda Belveal.

The scene is the Band Room and the occasion is an important class election. Joyce Hanger, an underclassman, looks on with great concern along with Bill Francisco and Brenda Craig as Mrs. Augu¬ sta Patterson applies makeup to Eddie Huffman for the senior play entitled Room For One More by William David¬ son. Barbara Smith and Bill Francisco, who played Mr. and Mrs. Rose, watch as two of their daughters, Teensie played by Ginsy Patterson and Trot played by Judy Bazzrea, argue about the water problem. Sylvia Davis, who played the part of Betty Biddle, a friend of the family, stands by ready to referee. Eddie Huffman, who played the part of Jimmy John, a cripple, seems to en¬ joy the chocolate cake bestowed to him by Mrs.' Rose. Miss Winston, a welfare worker, played by Lucy Wright, looks on with severe criticism at the crippled boy whom she regards as a problem child. Seniors Present “Room For One More” Joey, played by Gary Rosen, along with the other Rose children, tries to console their mother, who has just learn¬ ed of her husband's death. Miss Winston and Jimmy John look on with great sym¬ pathy. Mrs. Biddle, played by Ann Fitzgerald, with her daughter Betty, look on as Mrs. Rose proves to her son, Joey, that he is not ready to take over the responsibilities of being the man of the house. Here we see Joey on the floor just after his mother hit him on the jaw. Delores Dull, who plays the pari of a woman saved from drowning by one of the Rose children, is seen here as she tells Mrs. Rose, Teensie, Trot, and George Biddle of her rescue. Jimmy John seems to think that she wasn't worth saving. Mike Kasuba, who was elected president of the senior class, seems to have had a rough day. Here we see Mike attempt¬ ing to acquire some extra sleep; however, Librarian Patterson insists that he can't, sleep in her library. On October 28, 1963, Mr. Cecil Lay¬ man was honored with a surprise birth¬ day party, given by the graduating class. In the background, Carolyn Groah, Ann Fitzgerald, and Barbara Smith look on as Douglas Layman, Mr. Layman and Debbie Layman open a gift. Mrs. Linda Belveal and Mrs. Alice Prater, the two beloved senior sponsors, discuss the future of the graduating class with the principal, Mr. Cecil Layman. Seniors Revel In Their Activities One of the major projects of the sen¬ ior class was to make a collection of food for the Salvation Army. Each homeroom in the school participated by contribut¬ ing to the worthy cause. All in all, enor¬ mous amounts of appetizing food were collected. Mrs. Augusta Patterson is apparently having trouble keeping her Christmas goodies out of the hands of Norman Coyner and Bill Ballew. This comical scene took place at the Senior Christmas festivities. Although Larry Phillips and Bill Ballew are on the varsity basketball team, their shooting of paper wads in the classroom is far from perfect. They often miss their targets and are compelled to clean court. Judy Bazzrea and Bill Francisco experienced a delight which they have long-anticipated. Their caps, gowns, and diplomas are symbolic of the twelve rewarding years, during which they gained foundation knowledge upon which their future lives will be based. Perhaps the above symbols are but transient joys, but the knowledge resulting from endless toil and study will be omnipresent in the minds of the seniors. Through the demanding future, we may safely as¬ sume that our well-prepared seniors will go with alacrity and a strong ambition to better the world in which they live. Seniors Present Symbols I i i On display are two '63-'64 graduation rings. Indeed these are possessions in which the sen¬ iors take great pride. Perhaps each time they gaze upon the shining gems, memories of con¬ centrated study, joy-filled high school years, and friends flow through their minds. In its beauty, the class ring epitomizes all the treasures upon which the senior, in later years, will look back with nostalgia.

Here Teresa Nuckols tries to decide which is the pair of shoes she left in the corridor. When the new day dawned, its arrival brought many responsibilities. Among those was the duty of the Junior class to elect capable class officers. On the day of elections, we see, standing, some candidates for offices. They are left to right, Wayne Bradley, Frank Swisher, Gene Rosen, and Frank Patterson. Junior Class Antics Eleventh grade students, along with all others, remember the two days during examinations when snow caused school to be closed. Many an ear listened to the announcement on the radio There will be no school in Augusta County today. Here we see Lawrence Ham imitating T.V.'s Frank Fontaine. When Dale Griffith was campaigning for the office of Vice President of the S.C.A., Larry hoped to entice the students to vote for him by injecting some humor into the campaign. Pictured with Larry is Tommy Moore who is acting as a support for the hilarious antics of the campaign. During the two day vacation, caused by inclement weather, the students remained at home and enjoyed the tranquil beauty of the snow blanketed hills. 64 The official Riverheads Gladiator was a member of the Junior Class. At the beginning of every football game, he proudly led the Gladiator squad onto the field before a multitude of exhilarated fans. His presence at the game enhanced school loyalty as well as school spirit. Also, the visage further depicts the traditional aura surrounding our school's name and symbols. Vicarously, we may transplant ourselves in Caesar's golden day Rome, view the gory arena in which men battled the king of beasts, and truly appreciate our cultural heritage, derived from ancient Rome. Aroused School Spirit For a short time during the year, Mr. Unruh's Physics Class was transformed into a bridge construction crew. Hours of work and careful computation altered flimsy pieces of wood into a railroad bridge, designated to withstand one hundred pounds of weight upon its completion. Besides merely conducting a valuable experiment, the constructon engineers gained priceless experience in teamwork and enjoyed momentary escape from regular classroom activities. Diligent constructors are Wayne Bradley, Gene Rosen and John Cox. Among the various activities sponsored by the zealous junior class was a talent show, featuring members of the entire student body. Although this activity was a source of illimitable laughter, it pro¬ vided moments of seriousness. Here, Denay Trykowsky proudly models her ballet uniform in which she performed her first place award winning act, a rendition of The Swan, a beautiful ballet. Generally, the result of the show was worthy; it convinced the student body of the vast amount of talent in our school. m (|jf 65 The in between year proved successful for the tenth grade. This class strived to overcome any surviving juvenile traits and to mature young men and women. Cooperative leaders helped to make this term one which the class will remember with pride. Leader¬ ship was in the capable hands of Vice President, Linda Yowell; President, Becka Thomas; Secretary, Claudia Switzer; Treasurer, Winfred Smith; and Reporter, Jerry Thomas. Mrs. Reed was the tenth grade sponsor and other tenth homeroom teachers were Mrs. Head, Miss Harlow, and Mr. Talbott. v 'Z , „ % fhe “In B j ■ Gary Allen Harvey Almarode Arehart Jerry Arehart Arehart 'Fred Bates Barbara Berry Kay Blackwell Clyde Boyd Waltine Brooks Boyd Buchanan Philip Brandt Marie Campbell Beverly Cash Sammy Cason Becky Chandler Donald Clark Dennis Clemmer 1ST Barbara Cobb Nellie Cochran Mae Coffey Gary Cox Kay Coyner Harold Craig Judy Davis Stuart Desper Steven Doyle Melvin Dunaway Bernie Earhart Brenda Earhart Becky Farrar Barbara Fitzgerald Judy Fitzgerald Robert Flickenger Gary Fravel 1 QJ . 0 And Opportunities try ' Gary Fry, Philip Galvin Nancy Gladwell Phyllis Groah Paula Gutshall Gary Gwin aste , Carlton Harris Roger Harris yC is Douglas Hawpe Hansford Hevener Clyde Hollingswort llingswort j Gail Huffman James Humphrie Tommy Humphri Sarah Hundley Joyce Johnson Larry Johnson Lois King C.

It seems that someone mentioned the word photographer, and everyone wanted to be the center of at¬ tention. Room 207 is the scene of many in¬ teresting science experiments performed by Gen¬ eral Science nine students. 72 What is going on here? These students are Frances Aorris and Freddie Hipes who are pursuing the funda- nentals of the metric system. Under the leadership of Miss Emswiler these students explored the funda¬ mentals of Science 9. Trying to keep the students attentive was an arduous task with a photographer in the room and a few lingering minutes left in the class period. It seems as though these students were ready to jump at the sound of the pealing bell. Freddie exclaims, My goodness you surely have towered up. You are one hundred and sixty centi¬ meters high. In a few years you will be taller than Adventure With Vigor Here we see Mr. Phillips as he tries to master the twist, a popular dance of the past among the teenagers. This was one of the many attractions at Mr. Cecil Layman's birthday party held on October 28, 1963 in the cafeteria. Mr. Phillips has a ninth grade homeroom. Mrs. Woodall is going to eat all the food! exclaimed Ann Fitzgerald and Carolyn Groah at Mr. Cecil Lay¬ man's birthday party held in the cafeteria on October 28, 1963. It seems as though all Mrs. Woodall wanted was some potato chips. With all that food on one had to worry about getting his share. Besides eat¬ ing there were other hilarious activi¬ ties at this celebration. With the arrival of the new day there were some new teachers. One of the many was Mr. Unruh. Here is seated a 9th grade math class under his supervision and method of teaching. Ambitious Eighth Grade students worked earnestly in order to become future grad¬ uates of Riverheads High School. Capable and dependable class members were elected to office. They were ( R-L ) President, Patty Ballew, Vice President, Dale Truxell, Secre¬ tary, Carter Moffett, Treasurer, Deborah Childress, and Reporter, Bill Eby. These of¬ ficers cooperated with the Eighth Grade sponsor, Mrs. Humphries, in accomplishing a successful year characterized by progress toward greater maturity. Other Eighth Grade homeroom teachers included: Mrs. Barroso, Mr. Unruh, Mr. Reed, and Mr. Thompson who was at Riverheads for one half-year.

Kelley ?onnie Miller To his eighth-grade students, Mr. Walter Unruh is a source of vitality, intellectual enrichment, and prolific scientific ideas. However, we fnd that our erudite science instructor does not altogether devote his time to scientific endeavors. With Mr. Unruh we view Miss Virginia of 1963, Dorcas Dara Campbell and Mrs. Twila. Truly, he seems to appreciate all forms of art and beauty. . Please don't look at me like that. I don't wear this to school, said Jo Ann Eavers. She assisted Mr. Lewis, the band director, in interpreting 'Twas the Night before Christmas. '( Of the many extracurricular activities originated by Mr Unruh one is seen above. Pupils of his eighth grade math class are measuring the grade of hill with their self-manufactured instruments. Eighth rw With the dawning of the new day the F.F.A. organiza¬ tion set as a purpose the development of first class farmers from the inexperienced greenhands. Henry Fitz¬ gerald operates Steve Carter the wheelbarrow. Initiation for the Riverheads F.H.A. Chapter, was one of the interesting activities enjoyed by the stu¬ dent body. Glenda Hancock, a new member of the Chapter, is seen in a Dutch costume that she had to become a mem¬ ber. Election day found these students unaware of their responsibilities of electing capable officers to guide them through the forthcoming year. Enthusiastically these Eager Beavers showed great interest in their political campaign. Undaunted by the task of making the dreaded campaign speech, Joan Gil¬ bert accomplished her goal. As A New Day Dawns Many Students The second year of the school's existence finds established organizations functioning well. Several new ones have been organized this year. An inventory reveals groups working together in harmony and with unity of purpose. Competent teachers who serve as sponsors of the varied activities, devote their time and energies towards helping us achieve both enjoyment and worth¬ while goals. As the new day dawns the organizations grow in effectiveness. All students are encouraged to participate in a few extra-curricular organiza¬ tions in order to develop a better rounded per¬ sonality. I 78 PI 7; H ■ Students are encouraged to participate in school related organizational activities. Oppor¬ tunities for developing leadership qualities are provided, and new avenues of service are opened to participants. An activity period scheduled on Friday pro¬ vides time for the varied organizations to meet. A bus known as the Activity Bus provides trans¬ portation for students whose activities require after school participation. Pursue Activities Our Organizations Jeannette Fix Kathy Bailey Jean Thayer Russell Potter Organizations Editor We need the cooperation of our teachers, friends and parents. Here pictured are Riverheads' first P.T.A. officers: Mrs. Melvin Rosen, treasurer; Mrs. John Patter¬ son, secretary; Mrs. Vance Homan, vice president; Mr. Cecil G.

All through Riverheads the earn¬ est desire to learn is held by the students and the example is set by the National Honor Society. Last year Beta Club membership was the highest honor a student could achieve. This year Riverheads af¬ filiated with the Honor Society, whose goal is to hold aloft the light of truth and learning and main¬ taining high academic standards. A B average is a standard require¬ ment. These young ambitious, yet solid beings will be the leaders of our society of the future as well as the teachers of future generations. Conscientious officers of the Future Teachers of America at River- heads this year are: Kathy Bailey, president; Day Young, secretary- treasurer; Carol Young, vice president; and Nancy Gladwell, reporter. What makes a teacher? A teacher is one who possesses both the qualities of courage and patience, along with the ability to un¬ derstand. Do I have these qualities? In the Future Teachers of America here at River- heads, a student has the opportunity to test his ability as a teacher by being of assistance to the faculty. All around us the ability of our teachers shines, teaching and molding our lives for future development as citizens. But ability is not all. We as students must have an earnest desire to teach as well as the ability to obtain that ultimate goal. Perhaps through the F.T.A. we have been given our big chance to discover ourselves as well as our future. F.T.A. Serves Faculty Illustrated here as the attentive listeners to their president, Kathy Bailey are: Lois King, Virginia Patterson, Paula Bailey, Vicki Clemmer, Nancy Gladwell, Janer Cash, Day Young, Janet Mooneyham, Carol Young, Jill Webb, Judy Bazzrea, Sarah Pal¬ mer, Nelson Craig, Becky Rosen, Sandra Ballew, not pictured is Jeannette Fix. 81 I Y Pictured above are the following members of the Future Homemakers of America Chapter of Riverheads.

Although he fulfills the position of assistant principal, he still manages to devote his extra time and effort in sponsoring our Student Cooperative Associa¬ tion. His willingness and capability are evident as he keeps the student council informed about school needs. It is Mr. Pace who adds the essential spark of enthusiasm that inspires the student cooperative association. Pictured to the left of Mr. Pace is the Student Cooperative Association president, Judy Bazzrea. Judy, a senior, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene H. Bazzrea of Route 2, Staunton, Virginia. Our S.C.A. Strives Seated in a meeting are our winning candidates: left to right, Linda Lotts, reporter; Judy Davis, treasurer; Dale Griffith, vice president; Judy Bazzrea, president; Mr. Pace, adviser; Ruby Hanger secretary; and Tina Rolen, chaplain. 84 For A Stronger One of the major goals of the Student Co¬ operative Association for the year 1963-64 was to create a closer relationship between the student body and the student government of Riverheads High School. In order to obtain such a goal, open meetings were held; the student body was urged to at¬ tend, and to introduce and to discuss the ob¬ stacles which impeded a consistent progress for the work of the S.C.A. Highlights of the endeavors made organization were the financing of the Christmas Dance and the sponsoring of the Boosters Club Drive. The latter enabled all homerooms to participate in the selling of tickets for the raffling of a car which was drawn at the Awards Banquet in the Spring. Truly, the student body of Riverheads High School feel that the association will be even greater in the years to come, for during these past two years we have learned of the im¬ portance of cooperation and capable leadership. $ Union Pictured above is the S.C.A. Executive Council with our sixteen homeroom representatives and Mr. Pace, our adviser. 85 Goals of the band are sought by each of the band members under the direction of our sedulous officers. Pictured above are: Jack Gwin, secretary; Rebecca Lewis, vice president; Mr. Lewis, director; Lucy Wright, president; and Ann Patterson, reporter. Concerts Highlight The Riverheads High School Band is a segment of the music program of the system. To round out their musical education, there is a marching unit. The marchhing unit performs for the foot¬ ball games, both home and away, and parades. Activities for the Concert organization include the Christmas concert, All Regional Band, State Concert Contest-Festival, Solo-Ensemble contest and a spring concert. One of the highlights of the year was the trip to Charlottesville to Band Day at the University of Virginia. Both bands play popular, classical and march music. Chosen to perform with the All State Band were Rebecca Lewis, Deborah Lewis and Steve Blackard. Mr. Vernon T. Lewis, graduate of West Texas State University, came to Riverheads High School from Franklin County High of Franklin, Virginia. He has served as clinician, adjudicator and guest director in Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia schools. Advanced summer work involved work at West¬ ern Colorado and Tarleton State College. At the present time he is studying at the University of Virginia. Band, choir and general music are included in his teaching schedule at Riverheads. Mr. V. T. Lewis has proved to be an outstanding band director. Riverheads is fortunate to have him on its staff. Year’s Activities Outstanding talent in music is displayed in our vocal ensemble, under the direction of Mr. Lewis. FIRST ROW: Stephaine Bailey, Emily Coyner, Gloria Mynes, Sandra Fitzgerald.

These same buses are manned by seven student drivers and three adult drivers, whose experience in safe driving and adeption in watching both the road and the actions of the students behind, brings both vexation and pleasure. Safety Is Stressed By Drivers As the end of this NEW DAY draws nigh, the pupils are placed in the competent hands of the Safety Club, whose responsibility lies in returning these eager students to their respec¬ tive homes, safely. Returning home on these big yellow bugs is really the best part of a day relieved of another day of school- happy, carefree and yet anxiously awaiting the next bright day, when many emotions again will be mixed in the corridors of the buses and the school. It is truly a great responsibility to venture a trip with so many happy students bubbling over with the ex¬ citement of adventures of the day; for with all the noisy talking, the bus driver has to be adept in keeping his eyes on the road and his mind on his driving.

They are the means by which one gains the knowledge needed to succeed in life. Our library gives its students a chance to obtain, and then use this intangible knowledge. Whether just reading, working on a research or term paper, our library offers its students accomodation. The Library Club, which is made up of student helpers, is designed to aid the students in the location of the material needed to complete their studies with satisfac¬ tion. Assistants are always available to give a warm smile and a helping hand. They encourage the diligent reading and study of more books for the gaining of knowledge and for just plain pleasure. Here at Riverheads in our well lighted, modern library, we take pride in using it's equipment with care and with the hope of absorbing more useful knowledge. We are boosted to great heights by the Library Club and their sponsor, Mrs. Patterson, who is a great help and inspiration to the students here at Riverheads High School. Officers of the Library Club are: Carolyn Fitz¬ gerald, reporter, Linda Lotts, secretary, Nancy Gladwell, treasurer, Ted Webb, president, and Jimmy Wright, vice president.

Annual Staff Prepares Layouts With the dawning of the new day the annual staff awakens with energy and vigor to bring to the student body an annual to well be proud of. In it memories will be for all to cherish. The staff began early and energetically to sell ads to our many benefactors in Staunton, Waynesboro, and the surrounding area. After securing ads the real work began. Layout pages were planned and photo¬ graphs secured. After securing these necessary items the imagina¬ tion department began to work to produce a unique annual. Many days of work lay ahead to be able to meet the deadlines. By February 24, 1964 all work had to be com¬ pleted. The staff enjoyed working to meet the ap¬ proval of the students.

Club’s Ideal Is “E With the dawning of the new day comes the organi¬ zation of new clubs. The language departments have branched out into full bloom. They have organized new clubs, one of which is the Latin Club. It is said that Latin is an old and dead language but that certainly is not true of the Latin Club. Many objectives were set in the beginning; some were to study mythology, to study about the many gods and goddesses, to have a Roman banquet, to read Latin newspapers, to sing Latin songs, to prepare bulletin board displays and to present a Latin play. Pluribus Unum ” The club consists of approximately 43 energetic mem¬ bers who have worked diligently outside of class as well as in to accomplish these objectives. An interest in the subject and in Roman or Greek mythology is a prerequisite to club membership. Forensic sponsors are: Mrs. Anna Humphries, spelling; Mrs. Augusta Patterson, prose and poetry; Mr. Mark Pace, coordinator; Mr. Clayton Phillips, debating; Mrs. Betty Eby, debating; and Mr. Rudolph Hull, prose and poetry. Forensics Is Considered The Forensic Club is organized to motivate partic¬ ipation in, and to improve the level of, forsensic activities among Virginia high school students. Forensic contests are closely related to curricular offerings. The program of activities consist of a series of meets conducted on school district regional and state level. In all forensic contests both individual representa¬ tives and member schools are required to observe and comply with Virginia League Contest rules. River- heads students first compete with students from schools in Augusta County. 104 Debaters and Public Speakers are: FIRST ROW: Ruth Fitzgerald, Emily McGay, Ruby Hanger, Jeannette Fix, Martha Corbin, and Judy Davis.

An excellent and enduring school spirit and a feeling of unity in the community has been greatly affected by these athletic con- Dawns Athletics Continue tests. With the encouragement of the fans, the participants in competitive sports began a new year for Riverheads. Perhaps in later years, they will reap the benefits of this participation, both in the building of character and the recalling of fond memories. 106 To Unify School The District 5 basketball trophy is proudly displayed in the trophy case located in the front hall. As a new day dawns for learning and activi¬ ties so does it dawn for another important facet of the overall educational experience, the athletic program. This integral part of school life provides education of a different type than the scholastic aspect. Through participation in various athletics, the competitors learn valuable lessons in sports¬ manship, the ideas of fair play, and the qualities of true sportsmen. Not only do the participants gain these basic concepts, but the spectators benefit from them as well. Our teams engage in the competition of Dis¬ trict 5, Group 2 of the Virginia High School League. In this, our second year of competition, our entries in the keen rivalry have achieved unimagined success. Our teams in all phases of the sports program have proven themselves worthy opponents, graceful losers, and humble winners. As a new day dawns in the guise of the 1963- 64 sports season, we proudly present.

As a new day dawned, football season of¬ ficially began with the introduction of the team and cheerleaders to the student body. At the first game of the 1963 season, the cheerleaders in their scarlet array formed a picturesque scene on the newly lighted football field. Throughout the season, they inspired both the team and the fans with their enthusiasm. As a result of their neat appearance and excellent sportsman¬ ship, the cheerleaders proved to be a credit to their school. 108 Team And Promote School Spirit Well deserved success on the grid came for the Riverheads Gladiators in the 1963 season. The team opened with six consecutive resounding wins. Our only district defeat came at the hands of Wilson Memorial by a one point margin. Despite this loss, the Gladiators placed second in District 5 competition at the close of the season. With a tough de¬ fensive line and offensive strength in the backfield, the team rolled to an excellent season with the able guidance of the coaches and the individual determination of each man. Co-captains Mike Kasuba and Norman Coyner spurred their team on to victory with their leadership. £X_ J Jl yjLJc- (jv'“xcS Members of the varsity squad are from left to right, ROW 1: Fred Schultz, Erkie Cash, Mike Kasuba, Bill Ballew, Norman Coyner, Ronnie Shif¬ flett, and Gary Ayers.

After the Ft. Defiance team came back on to the field, the Riverheads lads poured on the steam to roll over the Indians from the Fort by a score of 13-12.

In order to have a winning team the coaches sacrificed valuable time so that they could plan and work with the boys. Much of the Gladiators gridiron success can be attributed to these men.

Much of this suc¬ cess can be attributed to the ten Senior members of the team. Their determination and their valuable leadership enabled their team to compile an enviable record of six wins in nine encounters. Of these ten boys, eight saw regular action throughout the sea¬ son. Without their contributions and those of the other two Seniors, it is doubtful that the Gladiators would have had such an outstanding season on the gridiron. These ten young men also have been responsible, to a large extent, for the excellent school spirit and feeling of unity in the community, which have come to be accepted as a part of the remarkable River- heads story. As the dawning day closes, for these ten Seniors, Riverheads High School wishes to ex¬ press its appreciation for their many contributions.

Composed of eighth and ninth graders, the team, as a result of diligent practice and effort, developed beyond expectations. Under the able guidance of Coach Dick Robinson and Coach Hunter Talbott, the Jayvee squad worked consistently throughout the season even in the face of defeat. Although this squad won only two games, they diligently prepared for the future. With high hopes and great expectations, the Jayvees build our varsity squad for the coming years.

The knowledge that their many fans, led by the eight varsity cheer¬ leaders, are always behind them and that their coaches are constantly striving to find new and better plays which will benefit them in competi¬ tion, is a great asset to the talented Gladiator squad. Without the encouragement offered by these two groups and the inspiration which they provide, it is doubtful that the Gladiators would have been so successful with the roundball.

For the second consecutive year, the River- neads Gladiators proved that they could out¬ wit the toughest team. With three new mem¬ bers, Jack Weiss, Finley Lotts, and Roger Harris, the Gladiators strengthened their de¬ fense and sharpened their offense to almost perfection. It became a challenge to the op¬ posing team to reduce the high-scoring av¬ erage of the Gladiators which was rising to approximately eighty points per game. After four resounding wins, the Gladiators met their first defeat at the hands of Stone¬ wall Jackson, a non-district team. With only one district loss to the Clifton Forge boun¬ ties, the Gladiators placed second in Dis¬ trict V. v Displaying proudly the Coyner and Larry Phillips. 1963 District V Champs sigh are co-captain Norman Members of the varsity squad are: FRONT ROW: Mike Kasuba, Finley Lotts, Erkie Cash, Lawrence Ham, Gene Rosen, Roger Harris.

Gladitators Thrill Fans Above Gladiator, Norman Coyner (30) blocks a shot by Arnold Fitz¬ gerald (53). Preparing for the rebound are Ballew (32) and Powell (51). At the right, fighting for that all-important rebound, Jack Weiss (45) edges above Linwood Griffin (52) as the Gladiators down the Indians 99-63. k. ; - With Swift- Moving Action Left: Gladiator scoring ace, Larry Phillips, (24) drives in for one of his patented lay-ups. Indian, Jack Mohler, (45) makes a futile at¬ tempt to block the shot of the talented Mr. Phillips. Mohler's team¬ mate, Linwood Griffin (53) waits for the rebound which more than likely will not bounce from the rim. As most of Riverheads' opponents have learned, when Larry shoots, it's usually good for two. In this game, the current District 5 Champs defeated their opponents from Fort Defiance by a score of 84-59. Before a gym packed with fans, Wayne Painter (22) attempts to score for R.H.S. in the game between arch rivals, Riverheads High School and Wilson Memorial High School. At¬ tempting to block Wayne's shot are Hornets, Ronnie Meek (21 ) and Arnold Fitzgerald (53). Gladiator, Bill Ballew (32) and Hornet, Bobby Thompson (33) race down the court to aid their teammates. In this close call, the Gladiators barely scraped by the tough Wilson squad, 69-67. An Important Part In In this clash with the Waynesboro five, Big Jack Weiss (44) jumps high above two un¬ identified Little Giants. The atmosphere at that height seems to be good for Jack as he con¬ centrates on the basket and sinking the ball for those two all important points. The two Waynesboro players seem to be astonished at Jack's amazing height. In this game, played in the Riverheads Arena, the Gladiators were vic¬ torious by a score of 74-64. Rebounding Plays Right: Bill Ballew (33) and Jack Weiss (45), the Gladiators' big men on the boards, attempt to snag a rebound from Stover (34), Waynesboro High School ace, who seems to be determined to retain possession of the basketball. Two unidentified Little Giants and Riverheads squad member, Larry Phillips, seem to be enjoy¬ ing the action provided by their teammates. The Riverheads squad again defeated the Waynesboro five, this time on the Little Giants' home court, by a score of 60-56. KEN DOWNEY Coach BILL BALLEW Forward NORM COYNER Forward IF Guard The Gladiator Success Story At the close of the regular season, the Gladiators found themselves in the second position in District 5 standings. They had lost only one district game, this being to first place Clifton Forge. There was no question in the minds of the Riverheads student body and their many fans, that it had been an ex¬ tremely successful season for the coach, Ken Downey, the six-iron men and their teammates. The boys most responsible for this success were the Senior members of the squad: Norm Coyner, Bill Ballew, Wayne Painter, Mike Kasuba, Jack Weiss, Larry Phillips, and Finley Lotts. Without their talent it is improbable that the Riverheads squad would have been so successful. With Bill, Jack, and Norm on the boards and Larry, Mike, and Wayne bring¬ ing the ball down the court, the Big Red became a name to be reckoned with and perhaps even fear¬ ed during the 1964 season. As these seven young men leave the Riverheads Arena for the last time, we wish to extend to them our congratulations and thanks for a job well done.

The drive and determination of the boys delighted and earned the respect of the fans, both in victory and in defeat. Having lost one game to each of the other three county schools, Wilson Memorial, Fort Defiance, and Buffalo Gap, the junior Gladiators with large amounts of hard work and desire, managed to come out on top in each of the second encounters. In other District 5 competition, they have also been very successful. At the close of the season, the junior Gladiators had earned the well deserved admiration of the fans. In their alertness and willing¬ ness to learn, the Riverheads followers could see the makings of a fine Varsity Squad in the 1964-65 season. Pictured above is head jayvee coach, Dick Robinson. 122 EIGHTH GRA DE SCHEDULE With enthusiasm, the eighth-grade basketball squad set their goal— to gain experience through competitive action for a future varsity squad.

Since no recognition could be made in the 1963 Colosseum concerning the spring sports, it is only equitable that an effort be attempted to do so this year. Ending the season with a 5-5 record, our base¬ ball team of 1963 proved to be strong competitors for any team. With the patience of their coach, Mr. Hunter Talbott, the entire team fought with deter¬ mination, thus scoring valiant victories. The 1963 track team also had their moments of well-deserved glory. With aces Norman Corner, Mike Kasuba, and Larry Phillips, the Riverheads track team made resounding accomplishments. 124 Riverheads Salutes Two Outstanding Athletes Stormin' Norman Coyner waits for action. When athletics is mentioned in the corridors of River- heads High School, one of the first names which enters the minds of the students is the name Norman Coyner. Norm is an eighteen-year-old Senior who participates on the gridiron, on the hardwood, and on the cinder track. His talent in all three of these sports is one of the major reasons for the success of these teams in competitive sports. During this past season, Norm proved himself to be in as fine a form as ever on the football field. The rugged halfback averaged 5.8 yards per carry and ranked among the top ten in District 5 scoring with 53 points. With a record like this, it is no wonder that Norm led the Gladiator squad to six victories in nine games. In basketball, Norm is also valuable, both under the boards and as a scoring threat from the outside. The talented forward ended the regular season with a 12.7 average per game. Riverheads High is proud of your achievements, Mr. Coyner, and we extend to you our thanks for your con¬ tributions in athletics and as an outstanding member of our student body. Eighteen years ago when a youngster by the name of Larry Phillips was born, no one dreamed that he would one day rise to fame over the entire state of Virginia. But today, there are few Virginians interested in scholastic basketball who have not heard the name Larry Phillips mentioned. When Riverheads High began its first school session in the fall of 1962, Larry and his teammates proved that their ability was unlimited when they captured the Dis¬ trict 5 basketball crown. It was that same season that Larry was awarded a basketball for scoring 1000 points. He also received the sportsmanship award in the District 5 tournament. At the end of the 1964 season Larry had managed to dump a total of 1,742 points in five years of competi¬ tion. With his highest number of points being forty-one for a single game Larry has ended the 1964 basketball season with a 28.8 average per game. Unlike many athletes Larry is not successful in just one sport; besides basketball he has achieved recognition in baseball, in track, and in football. By his competition in these sports, Larry proved himself a versatile athlete with many talents. Riverheads High School salutes Larry Phillips as an outstanding athlete and a truly great sportsman. Larry Phillips is carried from the floor after the victory over Wilson. 125 As The New Day Dawns , Support As the new day draws to a close; we reflect on the ingredients that go into making a school a successful institution of learning as well as a place to attend. A well-balanced administration and helpful teac hers coupled with the whole¬ someness of extra-curricular activities are a big part of any school. But behind all these are the support of the school. Our advertisers are the progressives of the nearby communities who have a keen interest in the happenings at Riverheads High School. Through their advertisements they encourage pro¬ gress in school activities and intellectual ability. To these supporters we, the members of the annual staff, give hearty vote of thanks for the help they have given us in producing the an¬ nual. Within these pages are the advertisements and contributions of business men of the surrounding communities. Without their support this annual would not be possible. The financial backing af¬ forded us by these concerns provided a portion of the funds necessary for the production of this yearbook. For this support, and for the encourage¬ ment given us by many of the school's boosters the Annual Staff feels a sincere sense of gratitude. We pledge ourselves to patronize our advertisers. Our Advertisers Is The Key To Success William Morris Geraldine Shifflett Advertising Editors As the flag flutters in the breeze at half mast in memory of our martyred President, it symbolized the hope that cnce again the American way will be preserved. We hope fcr a better tomorrow with the knowledge that when the darkness fades, A NEW DAY DAWNS. t THE PEOPLES BANK OF STUARTS DRAFT STUARTS DRAFT, VA. Phone 337-221 MEMBER F. D. I. C.

Into the future, the seniors stride, supported by the rich background supplied by their fellow-students, their understanding teachers, and their kind administrators at Riverheads. Memories will stray, nostalgically, back to their pleasant, enriching years. Thus, when the bell of twilight has struck its final chord, the day of learning has come to a close and night's encompassing darkness envelops the school.
