Thus, under the auspices of the Virginia Stale Board of Education and in conjunction with the Au¬ gusta County School Board, the Riverheads administration endeavors to channel the energy and develop the potential of its stu¬ dents whether they are college or vocation bound into progressive straits. For instance, the guidance department spends hours with individual students, as¬ sisting them in planning their courses, choosing their colleges, or meeting the re¬ quirements for their chosen vocations. Like¬ wise, Mr. Good, assistant principal, coor¬ dinates athletic events and supervises bus transportation to and from school. Mr. Layman, principal, bears the brunt of all administrative duties, but with the aid of Mrs. Taylor, school secretary and several student assistants, he finds his work load less time-consuming and has more time to spend with various classroom groups. Beside these forms of aid, the janitorial staff and the cafeterial staff fulfill the more basic student needs; they provide physical nourishment and a healthful atmosphere conducive to learning. And finally, the school bookstore facilitates the students’ acquisition of study materials. Thus while the students must exert no¬ ticeable efforts to succeed in school, all ad¬ ministrative officials support them whole¬ heartedly and strive to make their learning an enjoyable as well as enriching labor. Youth An Ephemeral Ted Lucas and Becka Thomas, represent¬ ing the S.C.A, in the bookroom greet Joe Rowe and David Swortzel and proudly ex¬ hibit the new Riverheads sweat shirts. The school bookroom is only one of the many aids which R.H.S. provides its pupils. Mystery Is . . In Student Aids EDITORS Alice Houston Judy Hyde 7 Empowered to maintain a stable yet ever¬ growing school system in Augusta County is the Augusta County School Board com¬ posed of: S. F. McClure, Jr., chairman, Riverhead District; Dr. 0. L. Boyd, vice- chairman, South River District; J. C. Horn, North River District; W. W. Ashby, Pas¬ ture District; Conrad Lawrence, Beverly Manor District; and Harold W. Roller, Middle River District. The progress of this board can be read¬ ily recognized in the beauty and success of the county’s four new high schools and in the improvements being executed in the existing older schools. While school board members are far re¬ moved from students, they make all plans after considering the needs and desires of Augusta County students as is evidenced by the board’s hiring of competent teach¬ ers. Thus while administrative duties large¬ ly occupy the board’s time, members main¬ tain a liaison with students through tours of the schools and information acquired from principals and teachers. Administrators Foresee Mr. Sam F. McClure, Jr., Mr. W. W. Ashby, Mr. J. C. Horn, Mr. Conrad Lawrence, school board members, and Mr. Hugh K. Cassell, Superintendent of Augusta County Schools, accompanied by Mr. J. M. Moore and Mr. W. A. Brooks, Augusta County Supervisors, initiate their tour of Augusta County High Schools at Wilson Memorial High School. Mr. Cassell holds a M.Ed. degree from Duke University. In connection with his duties he has served on the National Conference of School Bus Safety and has recently been elected to serve one year as President of the Middle Vir¬ ginia Superintendent’s Seminar which meets annually at the University of Virginia. In addition, Mr. Cassell has showed much interest in civic and church affairs, for he has served as president of Stonewall Jackson Coun¬ cil of Boy Scouts of America, of the Rotary Club and of the Ruritan Club, and has served one year on the Vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church where he presently teaches Sunday School to a senior high school group. Student Needs Mr. Hugh K. Cassell, a well-known face at Riverheads, is Superin¬ tendent of Augusta County Schools. Supervisor of Instruction, Mr. S. Gor¬ don Stewart, who holds a M.A. degree from U. Va., waits in the Riverheads cafeteria to meet with the school faculty. Mr. Martin C. Judy, high school super¬ visor, who holds a M.A. degree from George Washington University, waits at the Riverheads office to begin a tour of classrooms. Mr. Mark Race, former assistant prin¬ cipal at Riverheads, now supervisor of Teaching Materials, visits Riverheads fre¬ quently to survey requisitions of films, maps, and other teaching aids. Mr. Pace received his B.S. degree and M.Ed. de¬ gree from V.P.I. 9 Mrs. Ramsey, the upperclass guidance counselor discusses sequential aptitude test scores with Eddie Ellinger, a senior. By analyzing Eddie’s scores, Mrs. Ramsey will be better able to guide him into the profession or vocation for which he is qualified. To Lend a Hand High school guidance is founded on the reputed premise that no two persons are alike. The River- heads guidance office approaches it from the angle of helping students to choose intelligently their day by day living. Too, guidance centers around the . three tracts of education offered at Riverheads: academic, for col¬ lege bound pupils; vocational, for agriculture, busi¬ ness, and home economics students; and general, for students who do not intend to continue theii studies. Mrs. Mollie Ramsey, who works with eleventh and twelfth graders, Mr. Clayton Phillips, who works with eighth and ninth grade girls, and Mr. Harry Rickard, who works with ninth grade boys and tenth graders, besides their routine guidance work, share the love affairs, home, economic, fi¬ nancial, social, and emotional problems of the ado¬ lescents who seek their assistance. However, planning academic schedules in ac¬ cordance with individual pupils future occupies a large portion of the counselors’ day. Mrs. Ramsey, in her work with upperclassmen, mainly concerns herself with preparing transcripts and recommenda¬ tions for college-bound students, business school as¬ pirants, and technical school candidates. Thus, guidance may be summed up as the process by which the counselors open students’ eyes to life’s expansive and challenging panorama of opportunity. 10 Susan Young, Mrs. Ramsey, Kenneth Mason, and Joe Lotts meet to examine new guidance information, fresh from the mail. The guidance offices are well-equipped with college catalogues, brochures and information concerning all facets of life’s labor opportunities. The Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and various guidance and testing services cooperate with Riverhead’s guidance office by supplying information material. Is to Guide a Mind Mr. Clayton B. Phillips and Mr. Harry Rickard discuss the joys and difficulties involved in guidance. Could their looks of sly amusement be about forthcoming STEP and SCAT tests? Mrs. Augusta Patterson prepares to check out books, but smi les as two girls try to (decide between Faith Baldwin’s latest love story and the profound, awe-inspiring works of Dickens, Hugo, and Tolstoy suggested by English instructors. Research Enhances On the second floor at Riverheads exists a room of the mind and for the mind. Under the main¬ tenance of Mrs. Augusta Patterson, who holds an A.B. degree from Mary Baldwin College and has studied library science at Madison College, the school library expands its material for mental en¬ richment and cultural refinement. Complete with the latest periodicals and modern publications, the library also contains novels, short stories, drama essays, and poetry by the masters such as Maugham, Kipling, Shakespeare, Emerson, and Longfellow. Up-to-date encyclopedias and reference sources provide pupils with appropriate material for re¬ search papers and term projects in any class of¬ fered at Riverheads. Teachers, as well as students, frequent the library, digging for that extra morsel to - challenge young minds or searching for film strips and records to clarify seemingly incompre¬ hensible subject matter. Not only is the library a scene of independent study, for it houses several study halls. Perhaps the study halls violate the rooms customary sacred silence, but the effect is warmly human. 12 While the library’s main objective is to foster intense coverage of classroom studies and current events, it also caters to student interests. Besides the shelved materials, it provides for student pur¬ chases of paper back books not available on the shelves but often suggested by instructors. Too, it devotes space to vocational and professional in¬ formation pamphlets and college catalogues prof- ferred by the guidance office. Yes, the library is a room of the mind and for the mind, a world where the dreamer may retreat to a realm of fancy or where the realist may es¬ cape the tediousness of his routine for a vicarious sojourn in the land of romance. ' Finally, the library, Riverheads’ most indispensable facility, is a haven where romanticist and realist alike chase dreams and mold a reality unscathed by the veil of ignorance. the Learning Process Gary Shuey and Dennis Link work intently on world geography while their fellow students enjoy an enriching research hour, poring over atlases, discovering the height of Mt. Everest and the length of the Nile River. 13 Mr. Frank Lotts, Mr. Charles Prater, and Mr. Roy Kesterson gather in the utility room to plan their attack on a day’s accumulation of dust. “Forward armed with brooms,” is the command. Helpers Spread Cheer Mrs. Violet Swortzel, Mrs. Lona line, a food-filled one which inspires Kesterson, Mrs. Iva Doyle and Mrs. Hallie Redifer have a unique assembly grins on faces of hungry or maybe “starved” students. 14 V Mr. Cecil G. Layman, Jr., prin¬ cipal, relaxes momentarily from ad¬ ministrative chores to laugh with Charles Shaner, Barbara Schooley and Ted Lucas over the latest shoe styles. A graduate of Davis and Elkins College and Springfield College, Mr. Layman holds B.S. and M.EcT. degrees.. Plus his duties as princi¬ pal, he has been a delegate to V.E.A. for two years and to the Reluctant Learners Conference. Al¬ so he has served as chairman on Elementary Physical Education workshop program and worked on the Augusta County Salary Com¬ mittee. Office Coordinates School Functions General office work plus constant service to students keeps Mrs. Mary Lou Taylor, the school secretary, occupied. Mr. Herbert W. Good, who has attended Salem College and Madison Col¬ lege and is presently en¬ gaged in graduate work at U. Va. discusses bus passes with Dwayne Coff¬ man, Charles Wagner and Beth Small. Mr. Good has been both a classroom teacher and an elementa¬ ry school principal before becoming Riverhead’s as¬ sistant principal. In June 1965, he will receive his M.Ed. degree at U. Va. 15 - • A Jb ' ClX CXS -S 9 Yes, youth an ephemeral mystery is. The classes at Riverheads, by their conduct dur¬ ing their 1964-1965 school term, left no doubts concerning the validity of that statement. For instance, at one moment a huge group of students were joined to¬ gether by a common liaison—exuberance. Then when the group excitement had di¬ minished, the youths channeled their ef¬ fervescence, with almost incredible facility, toward classroom studies. This instant change of attention direc¬ tion is what gives youth its mystery. One can never be sure how the adoles¬ cent feels about a given subject at a given time. He can never be positive whe¬ ther the adolescent will smile or frown, laugh or cry. True, even Riverheads stu¬ dents encountered those moments of un¬ certainty, but most of the time they chose smiles and laughter. Maybe those difficult problems in mathematics, chemistry, phys¬ ics, and English did foment frowns, but those frowns were symptoms of challenges —challenges inevitably met, met with con¬ fidence and a smile. Youth An Ephemeral Vacant desks by no means indicate a lack of classroom industry, for it appears that Ronnie Shifflett, Beth Small, Fred Bates, David Orebaugh, Jay Tate, and Barbara Cobb are engrossed in fathoming some chem¬ ical problem. Could it be Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, or that ever so confusing met¬ ric system that commands such unarrested attention? . In Classes CLASS EDITORS Bonnie Back Shelvy Brooks Linda Rosen Susan Whistleman Not only do the senior class officers: President, Erskine Cash; Vice-president, Becky Rosen; Sec¬ retary, Becky Lou Cash; Treasurer, Robert Link; and Reporter, Sandra Ballew have incredible leadership ability, but they abound with spon¬ taneous smiles and good humor. Here mysterious grins betray the fact that some fun-filled plot is in the making.

On Mrs. Belveal’s desk are the most precious materials for learning, books. From these books, senior English students obtain knowledge of early Eng¬ lish literature, including poetry, Shakespearean plays, and epics. Students also learn the impor¬ tance of properly used grammar and writing methods. Perhaps the students who have just vacated this classroom so redolent with memories of study and learning have gone home with seeds for thought which, as time elapses, will burgeon into flowers of knowledge.

Some may go directly to work, some may go to business schools, and some may attend college. No matter what senior choices must b e, they must be made by the individuals. For the benefit of college-bound students, an array of books in the guidance office provides an abun¬ dance of information concerning the opportunities in attending specific colleges. Doubtless this is just another way in which books proved to be “keys to the future.” Here we see two hands, an ex¬ perienced, guiding one and a young, searching one, reaching for the opportunities and chal¬ lenges of a brighter tomorrow.

He knows that his interest in mathe¬ matics will benefit him in his study of chemical engineering. 36 Jo Ann Long, Barbara Schooley, and Becky Lou Cash, avid Democrats, prepare a Johnson-Humphrey sign for the senior- sponsored mock election. Even Barry Goldwater withdraws momentarily from the com¬ petitive heat of the 1964 Presidential campaign.

Friendly relationships exist among teachers and students, which pro¬ mote an atmosphere conducive to learning. The teachers offer their students personal guidance, scholastic aid, and understand¬ ing, and by doing so help the young people at Riverheads to gain confidence and knowledge in meeting today’s world de¬ mands. Teachers use many techniques in an at¬ tempt to assist each student in developing his abilities and discovering his talents. Because the faculty supports the student body physically and morally it wins the respect and admiration of many. Yes, youth is a passing mystery—to teachers as well as parents. Teachers sum¬ mon every remnant of their training plus their personal classroom experiences to understanding that mystery and to channel it into a force which, as it matures, will contribute to the world’s strength, its pros¬ perity and inevitably—its peace.

In Academics FEATURE EDITORS Charlene Manspile Emily McGay Beth Small 55 “To give homework or not to give homework? We give it.” The teachers in the English Department who instruct upper class- men are Miss Elizabeth Snyder, Mrs. Mollie Ramsey, and Mrs. Linda Belveal, and here they plan the curriculum which they will pursue in their classes. To All Knowledge, Riverheads offers a course in Creative English, which is taught by Mrs. Mollie Ramsey, M.A., from Madison College, who is chairman of Riverheads English de¬ partment. This class delves into a range of subjects from speech-making to journalism, and from poetry to theme-writing. Mrs. Ramsey is the co-sponsor of the Colosseum, and her creative English class works with the advanced composition class on editing the yearbook. She also sponsors the Future Teachers of America Club, and is the Di¬ rector of Guidance. Among her educational experiences are serving as National Judge for the National Council of English teach¬ ers, working on the Development Commit¬ tee for the Augusta County English Cur¬ riculum. She is past treasurer of the ACTA, and corresponding secretary of Delta Kap¬ pa Gamma, National Honor Society for teachers. All senior English classes are under the direction of Mrs. Linda G. Belveal, B.A.. a graduate of Hollins College and Vander¬ bilt University. She teaches twelfth grade English literature, together with grammar and vocabulary. Projects include book re¬ ports and magazine article reports. Mrs. Belveal has served on the ACEA Policy Making Committee and is the sponsor of the Senior Class, and Senior Play. 56 “George Washington died in 1799, and I don’t feel so well myself!” This is the feeling of Janet Law, a student in Mrs. Ramsey’s Creative English class as she practices the art of speaking, a sub¬ ject covered in this course. English is Through constructing projects, avid seniors gain additional kno ing work done by Mrs. Belveal’s English 12 students. Mrs. Linda Belveal arranges a bulletin board which corresponds to the area under study by the twelfth graders, which happens to be Shake¬ speare in this instance. the Key dedge. This display case exhibits only a portion of the interest- 57 Teachers Stress Clarity , writing skills, grammar techniques, and vo¬ cabulary. Tenth grade English classes are taught grammar and American literature by Mrs. Dulce Lavin Barroso, who received her teaching certificate from Havana Univer¬ sity. She lived in Cuba for sixteen years during which time she taught English grammar and conversation and Spanish. The Spanish Club at Riverheads is spon¬ sored by Mrs. Barroso. Mrs. Betty P. Colonna also teaches three tenth grade English classes, one of which edits the school newspaper, The Shield. Mrs. Colonna received her B.A. degree at Western Maryland College, and has served on the Policy Making Committee of Au¬ gusta County Education Association. She is also the director of the Chorus. Miss Elizabeth Snyder directs the eleventh grade grammar techniques and American literature. The class also par¬ ticipates in panel discussions, public speak¬ ing, and theme writing. Miss Snyder at¬ tended Bridgewater where she earned her B.A. degree. Her educational exper iences include being sent as an Augusta County- representative to a conference on the ef¬ fective teaching of literature and composi¬ tion held under the auspices of V.E.A., at¬ tending S.I.P.A. conventions, and serving on the advisory committee to the director of the Virginia High School League. She sponsors the Pep Club, and is advisor of the school yearbook, the Colosseum. In addition to teaching eleventh graders, Miss Snyder instructs seniors in Advanced Com¬ position whose main purpose is to develop l 58 The eighth grade English classes study basic grammar, literature, and procedure in English, and are under the direction of Mrs. Anna R. Humphries. Mrs. Humphries has attended Bridgewater, Greenbriar, and Madison Colleges in attaining her B.A. and M.A. degrees. Her educational experi¬ ences include attendance at the Forensic Workshop at Covington, serving as Secre¬ tary and Treasurer of the Augusta County Education Association, and being a past president of the Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. She has served on the Scholarship and Philosophy Committees, and she sponsors the eighth grade forensics. Instructing ninth grade English -classes is Mrs. Betty Eby, A.B., graduate of Ohio State University and Shepherd College. The ninth grade studies English mechanics, literature, panel discussions, and vocabu¬ lary development in English. Mrs. Eby sponsors the Debating Club, and is the di¬ rector of the One-Act Play. Castro’s Terror School is the topic for a panel discussion being prepared by Janet Law, Jill Webb, Lois King, Judy Clemmer, Joyce Law, and Gary Fravel for Miss Snyder’s English II class. of Speech and Writing Mrs. Humphries sees to it that her eighth grade stu¬ dents understand and use the information she gives to them in English class. Kathy Sparkman takes advantage of this information. Apparently Rhonda Reames and Mrs. Colonna have reached a humorous portion of the lesson in literature, but Wyatt Lawrence, Ann Patterson, Tina Rolen, and Mary Martha Moore still hold straight faces. 59 What do the student rumors, “We’ve got to fight World War II over” mean? That is what Mr. Downey, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Rob¬ inson and Mr. Digges wonder as they plan the year’s social studies curriculum. Social Studies Open New program in the field of Girl’s and Boy’s Prose Reading. Instructing the United States history course and a class in social problems is Mr. James Francis Digges, a B.S. degree graduate of Salem College. He is also a graduate of Madison College with a M.S. degree in administration and super¬ vision. Four years in the Navy enabled Mr. Digges to see many parts of the world. He is the head football coach, and he assists with basketball, baseball and track. Mr. Digges has attended coaches ' clinics in Blacksburg. ton Beverly Phillips, who obtained his B.A. degree at the College of William and Mary and his M.A. degree in educational admini¬ stration at the University of Virginia. These classes study American history and govern¬ ment as it applies to the United States, and development of civilizations from prehis¬ toric to present times. Mr. Phillips has served as chairman of such committees as curriculum, dropout study, and English curriculum. At Riverheads he sponsors the National Honor Society, and the Forensic 60 In studying United States history the use of visual aids plays an important role, and here Digges can emphasize the topic of discussion by pointing out its location on the map. Mr. Teacher-Student Relationships “You question MY grading system?” Mr. Robinson seems to think it ridiculous that Emily McGay, a senior government student, should question his method of evaluation. 61 With knowledge of the world through his own travels, Mr. Downey transmits to his world geography classes an avid interest in the subject. Students Vicariously Tour the World Mr. Kenneth M. Downey teaches world geography, economics, and civics. He ob¬ tained his B.A. degree after attending Shen¬ andoah Junior College and Shepherd Col¬ lege; his double major was social studies and physical education. Mr. Downey’s edu¬ cational experiences include serving in the Marine Corps for three years and having the opportunity to see many countries abroad. He, too, has attended workshops for coach¬ ing at Blacksburg and Shepherdstown, and he is head basketball coach for Riverheads as well as assisting with football. The fourth member of the social studies department is Mr. Ronald Richard Robin¬ son, instructor of the senior government classes. He obtained his A.B. degree from Union College majoring in physical educa¬ tion. He also attended Ferrum Junior Col¬ lege and Western Michigan University. Mr. Robinson supervised the mock election spon¬ sored by his government classes during the presidential campaign. Mr. Phillips aids Beverley Sorrells on written work as Carolyn Moneymaker works ardently on a similar project. 62 Mr. Eddy’s jovial manner and keen understanding are factors responsible for the good rapport existing between himself and his students. The Language Department at Riverheads High School offers the students three languages, French, Latin, and Span¬ ish to pursue in avid interest. French I, II, and III are taught by Mr. Clarence Eddy, who attained his B.A. degree at Westminister College. During the year 1963-1964 he attended the University of Montpellier in Montpellier, France, and there he earned his certificat d’etudes and Diplome Superieure; Mr. Eddy toured Europe during the summer of 1964. The monsieur has this to say about his French classes at Riverheads. “Being a lovely contemporaneous language which is used daily by an interesting and vivacious people, le Francais lends itself readily, yes logically to the subjective approach, perforce opposed in purpose and direction to analysis so necessary to introduce a scholarly vehicle of thought no longer vocally current. Languages Direct Expression, the keystone of communication, suffers equally with understanding under an objective attack on a modern language, which thusly is apt to end in being ‘Greek’ to the stu¬ dent. Direct use of a would-be-learned modern language with a minimum of recourse to trans¬ lation is essential in achieving a tool-forging result. To use a tool properly is to understand, not to dissect. Recently grammar and use have been pushed into the Language Arena, represented as adver¬ saries for the time of the classroom. Obviously, they are artifically opposed, for known gram¬ mar has as its only real purpose the clear ex¬ pression and understanding of a thought, no matter the degree of simplicity or complexity thereof. We therefor do not study about the language tool of the French, but essay an un¬ derstanding in its correct use. Mrs. Prater points out a grammatical error to Latin I student, Mary Martha Moore, as Brenda Allman looks on. 63 Alleged adversaries must be united to walk, arm in arm, toward correct usage. Progress should be less rapid in neither; contrarily, reason tells us that by using comple¬ ments, the speed and quality of both should be augmented. We shall try—and we shall see. Mrs. Dulce Barroso earned her teaching cer¬ tificate at Havana University. She instructs the Spanish I and II classes and is sponsor of the Spanish Club. The classes study Spanish con¬ versation, grammar, and vocabulary. Mrs. Barroso proudly shows Mrs. Prater a copy of “El Mundo”, a Spanish newspaper, which aids her students in applying what they have learned. Insight Into A bulletin board in Spanish class exhibits the interest of an eager class and aids in learning. The students are not only interested in their classroom studies but also in practical application of their knowledge. For this reason they created this informative bulletin hoard. A V K rs Classes of Latin I and II are taught by Mrs. Alice Prater, who earned her B.A. de¬ gree at Madison College. In addition to teaching the basic grammar and mechanics of Latin I and II, Mrs. Prater directs the Latin Club, one of the largest school or¬ ganizations at Riverheads. In order to further her pupils’ opportuni¬ ties for accomplishment, Mrs. Prater has her students keep notebooks in which they write homework and exercises which will increase their knowledge. Her Latin students are also given the opportunity to work on projects which deepen their appreciation of the an¬ cient Roman culture. Even with the inconvenience of the typing room Mrs. Prater carries on a class in Latin II and here we see her helping Janet Law. Other Cultures “I think I understand now,” says Gerald Gordon to Mrs. Mr. Eddy has the complete attention of his French II Barroso as she tries to explain conjugation of Spanish students while he explains “les verbes” in the third group, verbs to him. 65 The expression on the faces of Mr. Harry Whitt, Mrs. Alice Prater, Mr. Rudy Hull, and Mr. Larry Hull, appears to be one of amusement, but no doubt they are seriously considering the most effective ways of conveying to students comprehension of mathe¬ matics. Mathematics Demands The study of mathematics increases the ability of the student to reason logically and accurately. At Riverheads the mathe¬ matics courses aim to provide the student with basic knowledge and a good under¬ standing of the subject’s functions and applications. Eighth grade mathematics classes, in¬ structed by Mr. Rudolph Harry Hull, B.S., study the fundamentals of mathematics. Mr. Hull has attended Madison College, and his educational experiences include teaching adult night classes at Riverheads. In addition to having served as chairman of the ACEA, he sponsors the Riverheads S.C.A. Mr. Harry Beckwith Whitt, Jr., graduate of Milligan College with a B.S. degree, teaches mathematics eight, mathematics nine, and mathematics twelve. He assists in coaching football and track, and is head cross-country coach. Teaching two classes of Algebra I is Mrs. Alice Prater, co-sponsor of the Sen¬ ior Class, and advisor of the Latin Club. She received her B.S. degree from Madi¬ son College, and has worked with the Reg¬ ister Committee, and the Honor Society. 66 Intermediate algebra and trigonometry, vanced mathematics, and plane geometry are taught by Mr. Larry Turner Hull who obtained his B.A. degree at Bridgewater College. Students faced with sets, graphs, and proofs in these classes for the first time stare at Mr. Hull when he mentions them. Mr. Hull works on the school register committee and final report committee. He also sponsors the junior class activities and the Junior-Senior Prom. “It is simply this—just up-dump this number and multiply it by two!” Mr. Larry Hull explains a method of obtaining the answer to a problem to Barbara Cobb and Mary Martha Moore. Concentration Linda Stover, Brenda Chandler, Mary Belle Smith, Charles Sha- ner, and Loretta Chittum are seen here in concentrated study in a mathematics twelve class under the instruction of Mr. Whitt. 67 “Point that mixture toward the wall. I’m too young to die,” whispers Gary Ayres to Rose Zink, convincing her of H2S04’s potency. “You all know about the birds ’n bees. How much do you know about the bugs? No! Not the Beatles,” teases Mrs. Reed as she leads her biology class in the study of insects. Experiments Plus Textbooks “But Mr. Bowers, reference work is no fun—especially when we can’t find the answers,” protest Becky Myrtle and Gary McClung on their first day of science reference work. Mrs. Mary Shomo. graduate of Mary Washington College with a B.A. degree teaches chemistry, general physics, and advanced physics to tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders, who are eager to learn about basic scientific facts and new de¬ velopments in the field of scientific re¬ search. Experiments are performed which enlighten the students on the topics cov¬ ered in class. Mrs. Shomo’s educational experiences include extension courses at U. Va. and previous teaching in elementary schools. 68 Mr. Bowers nudges Mr. Rickard who bursts into a wide grin and spreads his glee to Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Shomo. And it all con¬ cerns surprises for Riverheads science students! and Tests Equal Science Science opens news doors for many stu¬ dents, and the aim of the Science Depart¬ ment at Riverheads is to develop interest and abilities in the area of science. Courses offered are biology, general science, chem¬ istry, and physics. Mrs. Deann J. Reed, B.S., a graduate of Madison College, attempts to intrigue the students enrolled in her biology classes with awe and wonder of life, and living things on earth. Mrs. Reed has visited and participated in many science fairs: she is also the tenth grade advisor. The eighth grade classes of general sci¬ ence are instructed by Mr. Harry Cleve¬ land Rickard, who through attending Shep¬ herd College, Duke University, and Univer¬ sity of Utah, and the University of Vir¬ ginia, obtained B.A., B.D., and M.Ed. de¬ grees. During his military service Mr. Rickard took eighteen trips to Europe and three to the Far East, and he has traveled widely in the United States. Teaching the ninth grade general sci¬ ence classes is Mr. Herbert Lee Bowers. Jr. He has attended Ferrum Junior Col¬ lege, V.P.I., American University, Western Maryland College, U. Va., and Wesley Theological Seminary, and has his B.S. and B.S.T. degrees. 69 Glasses in hand and smile on her face, Mrs. Koogler Mr. Rudolph Hull, while sponsoring the S.C.A. in his spare time, addresses her class in the jovial manner which all devotes his day to teaching those who desire to make business a career recognize as the key to her personality. or an aid in future life. Business Lures Student Many Riverheads students are enrolled in book¬ keeping, typing I and II, and shorthand classes which are taught by Mrs. Dorothea F. Koogler who has a M.Ed. degree from Temple University, U.Va., and Madison. Mrs. Koogler has traveled to Hawaii, Mexico, and South America, and has toured much of the United States. Mrs. Koogler also sponsors the Junior Play. General business and personal use typing are in¬ structed by Mr. Rudolph Hull, also a teacher of mathematics. His R.S. degree from Madison was earned in business administration. The business de¬ partment provides for both vocational and con¬ sumer needs of business students. For those who plan to enter the business field on a vocational basis, an attempt is made to give the experiences which they may encounter on the job. The consumer oriented courses attempt to present general business information needed by all in America’s “business” economy. Jerry Thomas, aided by Mrs. Koogler, fills out an income tax form which will prove valuable when completing school. 70 Janet Law, a business student, applies what she has learned by Ifejppflg faculty and udents alike in the guidance office. With lists of production work to be completed, Larry Rowe, Denny Showalter, and David Schooley find it pays to use their time wisely. esU to World of Commerce The ' doping ' room, Constantly humfrning with activity, is the place for correlated activities. As Joyce Fanning, typing stu¬ dent, checks on production work, Willie Caddy, shorthand stu¬ dent, checks on her weekly notebook. Mrs. Koogler, feeling that students would benefit from taking dictation from someone other than herself, found Mr. Lewis very obliging. As Gloria Brownlee writes Mrs. Koogler appears to be taking the dictation also to test her skill. 71 Mrs. Colonna and Mr. Lewis talk over plans for the annual Christmas Concert presented by the hand and choral groups. � V W .i ' 1 Music Expresses Feelings One of the most creative departments at Riverheads is the Music Department. Classes are offered in advanced band, regular band, and intermediate band, and these are instructed by Mr. Vernon T. Lewis, who graduated from West Texas State University and obtained his B.S. de¬ gree. Mr. Lewis’s educational experiences are varied and interesting; they include two summer workshops at Western State Col¬ lege of Colorado, writing an article, “Or¬ ganization of Instrumental Department”, for the Texas Music Education Association Magazine, and being guest clinician for several individual school band workshops. In addition Mr. Lewis originated a point system now used in fourteen high school music departments in Texas, Virginia, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. The marching band is sponsored and directed by Mr. Lewis, and besides providing entertainment at foot¬ ball games, the band plays at school as¬ semblies and participates in district and state band competitions. 72 ■H Mrs. Betty P. Colonna, graduate of Western Maryland College with a B.A. degree, is the director of our chorus, which is a class of instruction in vocal development. Mrs. Colonna also teaches General Music I and II which study music appreciation and fundamentals of music. Music classes delve into many areas of the musical world. The advanced chorus’ main goal is the prepara¬ tion for its three annual concerts: the Christmas concert with the band, the community concert held in early spring, and a late spring concert. Also this group prac¬ tices for its various community appearances. Too, it sends delegates to the Augusta County, District V, and the All-State Choral festivals. General Music I and II pupils devote their time to theory, folk music, jazz, light opera, and modern mu¬ sic. In the theory portion of the course, musical masters and their works are reviewed. Mr. Vernon T. Lewis auditions the basses for positions in one of the two all district high school bands. That Words Leave Unsaid “Beat your drums; blow your horns—loud! Mr. Lewis is coming,” Jay Tate admonishes his fellow band members as they ready their instruments for class. 73 The Riverheads art class, under the in¬ struction of Mr. Herman Stuart Reed, who holds a B.F.A. degree from R.P.I., experi¬ ments in varied creative works. While drawing with pencil, ink, pastels, and charcoal, and painting with tempera, water color, and oil are the main concerns of the art classes, they also attempt the more difficult techniques of block print¬ ing, metal tooling, collage and pottery con¬ struction, rex lacing, basket weaving, cop¬ per enameling, jewelry making and sculp¬ turing. Especially in designing posters, and rec¬ ord and book covers, members of these classes learn to appreciate art’s functional aspects. However, not only the doing counts but also the learning—that which instills into the students an appreciatiQn for the work of the masters, Michaelangelo, Raphael, El Greco, Picasso, Utrillo and many other paragons of artistic talent. “Color charts—all splashed up!” comments Mr. Reed as he studies a pupil’s “masterpiece”. Art Develops Talent Linda Rosen, Mac Bocock, and Gary Fry inspect some pottery pieces which are hand formed from fire clay, then fired in an electric kiln. This process of being fired gives the pottery its hardness. A coat of glaze, made of powdered glass mixed with water is then applied and the pottery is returned to the kiln. This time the heat melts the glass and gives gloss and color to the pottery as well as making it water¬ proof. 74 Mr. Reed discusses this collage made from objects of nature, such as leaves, turtle and snail shells, and grass, with Joyce Law. and Skill “You are not limited in your choice of subject”, says Jean Beverly to Bonnie Back, as they view this display of paper mosaics. Paper mosaics are made by arranging small pieces of paper in varied colors upon a solid background to form a certain design qr picture. Here David Hayes, Wayne Slagle, Sandra Rodgers, Brenda Fisher, and Carolyn Beverly construct mosaics by gluing small stones, called tesserae, to a board, and forming a picture. When the stones have been placed all gaps are filled in with a white plaster called grout. Carter Moffett is making a color chart which shows the primary colors, red, yellow, and blue, and the colors that can be made by using these primary colors. 75 Home economics in the public high schools of Virginia is con¬ cerned with the application of knowledge to the job of homemak¬ ing and related occupations and with the growth of individuals as contributing members of families. Homemaking is offered in grades eight through twelve. The instruc¬ tion includes many phases of home¬ making; such as: maintaining fam¬ ily health; making homes livable and attractive; managing income and other resources; selecting, .pre¬ paring, and serving well balanced meals for the family; selecting, con¬ structing, and caring for clothing; guiding development of young chil¬ dren in the family; and the home care of the sick. In addition to providing experi¬ ences in personal and family living in homemaking classes, pupils are encouraged to continue their educa¬ tion on the college level for a va¬ riety of careers. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smith look over one of the many free pamphlets which come to the girls in home economics classes from the various industries. Girls Value Application Mrs. Helen C. Wilson, a graduate of Madison College and the University of Tennessee has her B.S. degree in Home Economics. Aside from having served on the Augusta County Nutrition Com¬ mittee and F.H.A. Federation, Mrs. Wilson is Riverheads F.H.A. advisor. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Smith also teaches Home Economics. She earned her B.S. degree in secondary education at Longwood College and has attended the 1964 Virginia Home Economic Conference in Augusta County. Mrs. Smith is co-sponsor of the F.H.A. Mrs. Mary E. Russell, a R.N. of the Red Cross staff, instructed home economics stu¬ dents in home nursing courses. 76 Typical of all home economics classes, industrious students accomplish many things. As Mrs. Wilson shows Peggy Hundley the proper way of laying a pattern, Brenda Sheets, Sandy Harris, Rita Brinkley, Debbie Childress, and Ellen Hughes work on individual sewing projects. Loretta .Chittum scored highest in a home mak¬ ing examination taken by senior girls in Decem¬ ber in the Betty Crocker search for the Ameri¬ can Hopiemaker of Tomorrow. Over Theory With some of the same excitement in Miss Beville’s expres¬ sion as she displayed in her student teaching, she receives a gift from Alice Ogden representing second period class as Judy Weiss and Bonnie Hemp and other students watch from the door. Mrs. Smith explains to Louise Sandridge the importance of finding the straight of the grain before cutting out the garment. 77 Classes in vocational agriculture are taught by Mr. Delano A. Jenkins and Mr. D. Mason Ware. Mr. Jenkins is a graduate of V.P.I. with a B.S. degree. While serving in the United States Ma¬ rine Corps he traveled in the Mediter¬ ranean area, and here at Riverheads he sponsors the Future Farmers of Amer¬ ica. Mr. Ware, who attended Bridgewater College and V.P.I., has a B.S. degree. He attends summer conferences at V.P.I. each year, and he was a mem¬ ber of the V.P.I. livestock judging team which traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, and Chicago, Illinois. Activities under Mr. Ware’s direction at Riverheads are boys public speaking and F.F.A. “That’s interesting!” says Mr. Ware as he and Mr. Jenkins regard a plan which they will use in instructing their classes. Experience Broadens Mechanical Mr. Jenkins is using visual aids in instructing a class on tree identification which is taught as part of the work on managing forest trees. Mechanical drawing is part of the vocational agriculture curriculum. Here Dennis Clemmer (foreground) and Jimmy Painter and Ted Kehrer (rear) are sketching a plan of a project which they will later construct in the shop. 78 Dennis Clemmer and Stuart Desper are planing a board in preparing to construct a project of wood as Mr. Mason Ware looks on. Jerrell Grogg gets some first hand experience in the mechanics portion of the vocational agriculture curricula. Here Jerrell is learning the skill of arc welding, an area in the Vo. Ag. shop which is very important. and Agricultural Knowledge The agriculture shop is equipped with thirteen cabinets and as many work areas. They are used for arc welding, gas welding and cutting, electricity, tractor maintenance, plumbing, wood construction, painting and preserving, tool fitting, farm masonry, cold metal, hot metal, soldering and sheet metal work. One area upon which particular emphasis is placed is arc welding. Included in this area are five arc welders and procurement of a sixth is anticipated. Other areas em¬ phasized are gas welding, electri¬ city and small engines. Power machinery and equip¬ ment in the shop include a planer, jointer, table circular saw, power drills, metal drill press and a drill press for wood. With the aid of an electrical panel, Mr. D. A. Jenkins is giving some instruction per¬ taining to amperage requirements and voltage drop in electrical motors. 79 Mr. Reed, mechanical drawing instructor, and Mr. Hollinger, industrial arts teacher, coljaborate on curriculum and projects with which to confront their avid builders and draftsmen. Boys Attempt Arts of The boys enrolled in Industrial Arts Classes at Riverheads High School are in¬ troduced to basic ideas and skills that can be used in future jobs in industry. The students are shown the many responsibil¬ ities in such a future, and are instructed in metalwork, woodworking, and electricity taught by Mr. Paul D. Hollinger. Mr. Hollinger studied at North Man¬ chester College, V.P.I., and University of Virginia, and his educational experiences include travel to the eastern two-thirds of the United States and Germany, and at¬ tending V.P.I. Trade and Industrial Con¬ ferences. In addition he has served on Ruritan Service Committees, and has aided in sponsoring the junior-senior proms at Riverheads. Also instructing a class in Industrial Arts is Mr. Herman Reed, a graduate of Richmond Professional Institute with a B.F.A. degree. In addition to being a mem¬ ber of the Register Committee, Mr. Reed teaches art and mechanical drawing in the school’s curriculum. 80 Sammy Houston utilizes the lathe to smooth down the beginnings of his industrial arts con¬ struction project Drafting and Mr. Hollinger assists Roger Swisher in his use of the hand saw, a vital machine in industrial arts. Construction In securing information for the Colosseum, Emily McGay puts herself in the place of a mechanical drawing student and becomes amused as she tries to follow Mr. Reed’s advice. A student enrolled in the mechanical drawing class at Riverheads, under the instruction of Mr. Herman Reed, learns to use such tools as a pro¬ tractor, a triangle, the t-square, a ruling pen, divid¬ er, and the bow pencil. As students practice draw¬ ing they become acquainted with the terms and symbols used in this course. This mechanical draw¬ ing course enables students who are contemplating such careers as mechanical architectural and high¬ way drafting, aircraft engineering and sheet metal layout to pursue every source of knowledge offered to them. 81 “Now, Miss Harlow, we men have the brains when it comes to football. You just watch our illustrations of the five man line,’ boast Mr. Robinson and Mr. Talbott as they help Miss Harlow plan her powder puff gridiron game. Classes Pursue Various Sports The eighth, ninth, and tenth grade boys of Riverheads High School are enrolled in classes of physical education under the instruction of Mr. James Hunter Talbott, a graduate of Richmond Professional In¬ stitute with a B.S. degree in physical edu¬ cation. The activities at Riverheads under Mr. Talbott’s direction are varsity baseball and all boys intramural sports. In physical education these boys learn anatomy, muscle building, driver’s train¬ ing, health, and they participate in daily exercises which build their physical strength and endurance. The girls physical education instruction is done by Miss Edith Elizabeth Harlow, who earned her B.A. degree at Bridge¬ water College. Miss Harlow sponsors the Riverheads varsity and junior varsity cheer¬ leaders and all girls intramural sports. The primary objective of the girls physical education program is to train each girl to function better in society. The girls learn cooperation through taking part in such sports as hockey, basketball, tumbling, archery, soccer, volleyball, and softball. Safety is practiced so that the outcome of these vigorous activities is the development of poise and coordination. Mr. Ronald Richard Robinson also in¬ structs an eighth grade class of boys physi¬ cal education. He is jayvee basketball coach, and participates in coaching track and football. 82 “Well I’ll be;—it works,” comments Sandra Kehrer to Miss Harlow as they observe the model motor which Sandra assembled as a driver training class project to aid her class in learning the working parts of a motor. “Grip your bat like this; then give that old ball a good whack,” Mr. Talbott instructs David Strickler. and Skills Doubts race through the minds of eighth graders who are waiting to take their tumbling skill tests. Each girls wonders, “Can I hold it? Will I goof?” Then each decides “Of course I’ll do it, and I won’t goof— well maybe I won’t.” Eighth grader, Kathy Sparkman, serves as base for Carolyn Moneymaker who does the chest stand, a tour de force in tumbling. 83 The success and well-being of individuals come from the basic factor of good health. Promotion of good health is achieved through vigorous, challenging, guided, and purposeful activi¬ ties. Such objectives are achieved through the River- heads physical education program. Physical activi¬ ties develop strength and endurance; flexibility and coordination; social and emotional qualities which contribute to sound mental health. A good school recognizes these values and as Riverheads has done, tries to achieve them. Mr. Talbott verses two tenth graders, Lenny Phillips and Donnie Harlow, in the techniques of grasping a basketball properly for several types of shots. Physical Education Stresses Skill “All the way to the floor, girls!” pierces the air as ninth graders vigorously pursue physical fitness training. “It’s like this. At least I think it is,” Ruth Moneymaker says a bit disconcertedly as she demonstrates her ability to string a bow to Miss Harlow. 84 Riverheads High School physical education stu¬ dents find dancing the main attraction on Fridays during the fall and winter. Come spring, the co-ed groups go outside and have mixed softball under the all-star pitching of Miss Harlow and Mr. Tal¬ bott, co-ed instructors. Co-ed physical education at Riverheads is only one year old, and offers a variety of dances. Folk dances from other countries such as Denmark, Eng¬ land, Israel, Scotland and Mexico are taught and enjoyed by all. From the folk dances, students learn to use their motor skills rhythmically and also de¬ velop neuromuscular skill. The most popular and latest rock-n-roll dances are a main feature of co-ed. Here students who wish to learn these popular dances before actually attending a dance have an opportunity to see others participate and finally join in themselves. Some of the students already know how to dance when they arrive as eighth graders and need very little en¬ couragement. However, there are many who have never tried dancing before so for these students, co-ed is a real learning process. All students are encouraged to be original following the beat of the music, rather than following an example. For slow dancing this is especially true. The thing that is really taught here is self confidence rather than a definite dance step. and Good Sportsmanship Ann Steele, Wyatt Lawrence, Linda Lotts, Glenda Hancock, Norma Ramsey, Carolyn Bartley, Sharon Landes, Sharon Harris, Mary Stover, Susan Cox, Stella Bower, Dennis Grim, Jerry Link, Bill Eby, Ray Kimble, Jimmy Painter, Ronnie Hanger, David Benson, John Bryant, Donnie Hanger, and others swing to the music in their Friday co-ed class. 85 From September to June there exists a bustle of exuberance at Riverheads that is not all study, for study alone does not make a student his all around best. The bustle is student life—life outside the neces¬ sary regimentation of classrooms—whether il consists of reading, spectator sports or sports participation, concerts, dances, apti¬ tude testing, graduation, homecoming, or the long awaited junior-senior prom. Students relax from their studies to par¬ ticipate in student life and in doing so add a zest to both their intellect and character that study alone could not add. Also they benefit from student life by further de¬ veloping mankind’s most trying require¬ ment—getting along with others despite their often varied tastes and ideals. Thus whether a student is reading leis¬ urely in the school library, gyrating to the sounds of Beatle music at sock hops, waltz¬ ing agilely to “Moon River” at the prom, or marching solemnly to the tones of “Pomp and Circumstance,” he is contribut¬ ing to his social welfare and momentarily savoring the ephemerality of youth. Youth An Ephemeral Mystery On die floor and off the floor Riverheads students backed their team with enthusiasm despite its non-victorious season. This sup¬ port sustained the morale of the boys. As cheerleaders, the backbone of school spirit, prepare for a pre-game pep rally, stu¬ dents’ expressions exhibit varied thoughts of the game ahead. In Student Life FEATURE EDITORS Charlene Manspile Emily McGay Beth Small 87 New to Riverheads but familiar with the science of physics, Mr. Baugher demonstrates to Robert Link and Erkie Cash the principles of the analytical balance. Student Life Is Lieutenant Carl Pike of Kent County Michigan, sponsored at Riverheads by Smith’s Transfer Corpora¬ tion, demonstrates his safety magic to Susan Young. September, it appears, is Ted Lucas’ month for ab¬ sorbed study. At the moment, he seems to be intrigued with the methods of proposing and ratifying constitu¬ tional amendments. 88 Buck Leslie, W L University football coach, discusses football with Gary Ayres and Johnny Cox at the annual football banquet. Dr. James Neilson of Kenosha, Wisconsin, directs Debbie Lewis, the first Riverheads student to be selected for the All District Choir and the All District Band in the same year, in the All Dis¬ trict band held in February at Lee High School. Active in many phases of school life, Denay Try- kowski adds the D.A.R. award to a list of other honors. Invigorating The 1964 Junior-Senior Prom was a great event in the lives of the students, and here Erskine Cash crowns Brenda Craig the Queen, and King Mike Kasuba smiles in ad¬ miration. rv The Science Fair, a chance for all great minds to exhibit their knowledge, resulted in three winners—David Orbaugh, Paula Bailey and Linda Yowell. Perhaps the most important part of the day for most students is lunch time. C. B. Engleman, Steve Blackard, Bonnie Cash, and Tina Rolen look intently at their food and we can almost see their mouths watering. Classwork, homework, research papers and term projects—those were the words uttered by poor “overworked” students, but those were not the only words. Fun, laughter, and fund-raising drives were the words for Riverheads Organizations during their 1964-1965 term. No organization went un¬ heard from. Regardless of the size of a specific club or the grandeur of its contribution to Riverheads, each club offers their individual members chances to de¬ velop leadership, participate in group projects, and experience in sharing on the large scale and the assumption of responsibility. Activities are planned to enable students to main¬ tain a proper balance between academic and activity participation and this planning remains within the confines of the overall school philosophy and ad¬ vocates activities which expand students application of knowledge acquired in the classroom. Often acti¬ vities have helped students find their life’s work. Club meetings occur only during a designated time in activity period or after school. For the transportation of student participants in after school activities, Augusta County maintains an activity bus. Thus, organizations whether large or small give invaluable satisfaction to Riverheads and the stu¬ dent body. Rearview pictures lend little toward one’s discerning the expressions on faces of the myriad young people who compose the many Riverheads organizations. Right now, how¬ ever, it appears that thoughts are intent on savory foods rather than on organization endeavors. Sf m ■■ $ s % i m m mj i Tr Is ...

Conference at Buffalo Gap High School; and planned an early election of 1966 officers 92 While the organization endeavored to meet its goals, its primary concern was to create an aura of unity previously unequalled at Riverheads. It attacked this project from the first by drawing eighth graders and new students as active partici¬ pants into the school’s realm of scholastic and extra¬ curricular activities. S.C.A., to enrich itself in a more comprehensive understanding young people the world over, dele¬ gated seventeen students to the Virginia High School Forum held at Roanoke’s Jefferson High School. This meeting offered the Riverheads delegates an opportunity to parley with foreign exchange stu¬ dents, studying in Virginia schools under the au¬ spices of the American Field Service. Inaugurated in 1953 by Miller and Rhoads assisted by S.C.A.s of Virginia and Richmond public schools, the Vir¬ ginia High School Forum expanded its program in 1960 to include two sessions rather than one.

The Future .Homemakers of America Chapter of Riverheads High School chose “Strengthening My Education for Future Goals” as this year’s theme. Special programs emphasized teenage nutrition,- holiday decorations, future planning, better citizen¬ ship, work committee organization, and F.H.A.- fostered achievements. Activities which highlighted the year included the initiation, the installation ceremony, a trip to the State Convention, a family picnic, a faculty tea, a prize-winning exhibit at the County Fair, several dances, a cookie sale, observance of National F.H.A. Week, and the awarding of degrees. A new project added to the list of activities was the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Octagonal in shape, the chapter’s emblem bears the F.H.A. motto, “Toward New Horizons.” The rose, the F.H.A. flower, was chosen because it grows in every state and territory in America.

Riverheads Future Farmers The leadership of the Future Farmers of America is in the deft hands of James Johnson, sentinel; Den¬ nis Clemmer, vice-president; Bernie Earhart, secretary; Gary Fravel, reporter; Erkie Cash, president, and David Howell, treasurer whose ambition and capability prodded the chapter to higher plans of achievement. Throughout the year the Riverheads Future Farmers of America participate in many judging or selective contests, competing with teams from other schools throughout the state. Among those contests are poultry, dairy, crops, farm mechanics, Co-op quiz, public speaking, degree team, tractor driving and livestock judging. Judging contests are used as a method of teaching. It is a means to an end and not an end in itself. The competition is a terrific motivator and has the effect of stimulating learning. The success of the F.F.A. during the past year includes a second in livestock judging, in state competition among some 70 teams, fourth in state forestry among some 154 teams, and second in eastern competition, among several states be¬ ing beaten only by Pennsylvania by a small margin. Pictured are the Riverheads FFA livestock judging team which finished second in the state livestock judging contest. The team judged two classes of cattle, two of sheep, two of swine, and one of meat. The same team finished second among states from the East in interstate compe¬ tition. Pictured are Delano Jenkins coach, Dennis {Jlemmer, Gary Fravel (who was second highest individual in state competition) and Fred Shultz. Rate High in Judging Competition Pictured above are John Wagner, David Howell, and Dennis Clemmer, who finished first in the Bar Federa¬ tion Crops Judging Contest. The team judged some nine classes of crops in¬ cluding corn, wheat, barley, oats, soy¬ beans, alfalfa hay, orchard grass seed, lespedeza seed and weed and crop identi¬ fication. I 97 The fifteen member Spanish Club, hav¬ ing several activities throughout the year, collected the El Mundo, a newspaper from Puerto Rico and placed it in the library for other students. Pins, charms or tie pins were ordered for students who attended all the club’s meetings. To learn to speak Spanish more fluently is the foremost goal of the club. The Spanish Club was under the sponsor¬ ship of Mrs. Dulce Barroso until a medical condition compelled her to take a leave of absence. The second semester Mrs. Bar- roso’s daughter, Mrs. Pedro Bermudez as¬ sumed her mother’s sponsorship.

Its initiation of the new members was held October 1, 1964. Among this year’s activities have been a Roman Banquet, the adoption of a point system, and the presentation of a plaque at the awards assembly on which the name of the member possessing the highest number of points is engraved. The club also joined the Junior-Classical League. The Latin programs have included the Roman Gladiators, the mother goddess, Ceres; myths, months of the year, Roman homelife, Roman fu¬ nerals and marriages, the building of the Forum, Roman aqueducts, Roman roads and Trojan’s Col¬ umn, founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, and slides of Rome and Italy. Although a Roman Banquet was planned last year, this was the first year it has been achieved. The banquet, conducted on March 19, 1964, was quite successful with Jay Tate as the chairman of the affair. It was held in a covered dish supper fashion. The members wore togas as their best dress. In the main events, the new members were sold as slaves to eat with their masters, and a winner of a pie contest was selected. 99 Discussing the presentation of the film, “Finding Your Life’s Work” are Honor Society officers: Wayne Bradley, Becky Ro¬ sen, Erkie Cash, and Betty Hutchens.

Future Teachers of America Honor Their Instructors Mr. Good and Mr. Hollinger enjoy F.T.A. hospitality at the teacher’s after-exam work day. “Mm, good!” That was a typical comment made by teachers on their midterm work day when the Future Teachers of America club fulfilled one of their objectives by serving tea to the faculty. “What is teaching really like? What is the teach¬ er’s view of his profession?” The answer to these questions lies in the arrival of one of the most anticipated events in the Future Teacher’s year—stu¬ dent teaching day. Aside from actual teaching, the members also learn through the extension of other minor services in the classroom. Chiefly, the aims of the F.T.A. are to convey to their fellow students the importance and meaning of a good education, and to activate student interest in the field of teaching. By observing National Edu¬ cation Week in November and sponsoring an as¬ sembly during Teaching Career Month—April— these purposes have been fully executed. 101 next issue are the editors: Betty Shaw, Stephanie Bailey, Mildred Cochran, Nancy Cash, Wyatt Lawrence, Nancy Humphries, Judy Campbell, and Pauline Harris. R.H.S. Gives Birth to During the 1964-1965 term a new organization, made up of 10th graders, was born at Riverheads —a newspaper staff, which published seven copies of The Shield, Riverheads’ first printed newspaper. Besides the monthly rush to meet deadlines, staff members tried to further their knowledge of news¬ paper work through lectures presented by students in the school’s journalism class. Too, Mrs. Betty Colonna, the staff advisor, and Tina Rolen, editor, attended the annual SIPA (Southern Interscholastic Press Association) Conference held in April at Washington and Lee LIniversity in Lexington. Mrs. Betty Colonna, Sponsor of The Shield, has de¬ voted mueh time to making the newspaper a success. 102 THE SHIELD EDITOR . Assistant Editor . Business Manager .

Marching Band Boosts School Morale The Marching Band has proven to be a boost to the morale of the students and Riverheads cheer¬ ing section. Its appearances and performances at most of Riverheads football games sparked tbe team and the cheerleaders to fight a little harder and to cheer a little louder. This section of the band has brought honor to the school by winning second place in Staunton’s annual Christmas parade. For the first time this year the band marched in local parades winning first place in Stuarts Draft Fireman’s Parade, plac¬ ing second in the Waynesboro Halloween Parade which boosted the Band’s morale. The band ven¬ tured into Rockbridge territory to march in the Raphine Fireman’s parade. A highlight of the year came when the group participated in the University of Virginia Band Day in Charlottesville. Here the players performed be¬ fore the governor of Virginia. 106 Early this year the majorettes started preparing themselves for the band’s marching season. In July at Camp Summers in West Virginia, the majorettes studied under an experienced, appointed instructor, Mr. Edward Webb. Applying their knowledge, the majorettes presented a special performance for the Booster’s Club and performed with the hand at each football game. Included in the group are Kay Nuckols, Becky Lewis, and Denay Trykowski. and Supports Community Activities The 1964-1965 Band Officers worked diligent¬ ly on fund raising proj¬ ects. They planned and exe¬ cuted two bake sales and planned, prepared and served two ruritan sup¬ pers at Mint Springs. Officers also have co¬ operated with parents and the Boosters Club on the acquisition of new uni¬ forms. They have handled all publicity and prepared the programs for each concert.

Summer work included a concert for Dejarnette’s Sanitorium patients; music for commencement ex¬ ercises for Attendants School of Western State Hos¬ pital; and one week at West Virginia music camp: During the school year they performed for school assemblies and for a booster club meeting. Christ¬ mas season was observed by a joint Band-Chorus concert at Riverheads High School and the band journeyed to Dejarnette Sanitorium for a special Christmas presentation there. In February a portion of the members performed in the All-District Band at Lee High and the All- District Junior High Band at Riverheads. During March, the band attended the District Band Festival at Waynesboro and entered students in the band solo and ensemble festival at Page County High School. Toward the end of the year the band participated in the All-Virginia Band at Madison College. In May the group presented their annual spring con¬ cert, culminating a year of progress and develop¬ ment. 108 Jack Gwin and Law¬ rence Ham sell first can¬ dy bars to Mr. Layman and Mr. Good.

I 10 To develop the oratory talents and self-confidence of students has been the primary objective of the Riverheads Forensic Club. Various fields covered were girls and boys prose and poetry reading, girls and boys public speaking, spelling, and debating. To build competitive spirit, the Riverheads club met with the Fort Defiance, Wilson Memorial, and Buffalo Gap clubs in preparation for the ultimate District V meet to which each school delegated its highest scorers in each division of competition. Thus Forensic Club participants reap cultural gain through their exchange of ideas with other young people.

Library Club Adds to Efficient Operation of the the Library The R.H.S. Library Club with Mrs. Patterson’s help, concerns itself with keeping the library at¬ tractively inviting. Members accomplish this feat by maintaining clean shelves and neat book rows. They repair books, assist in filing information in the card catalogue, and create bulletin boards, ad¬ vertising new books and interesting old books. However, the club’s most vital contribution is its enrichment of individual members, for many of them participate in the club because they plan to study library science and become active librarians. I 12 David Swortzel, bus driver, frowns at the snow and slush which will tend to increase his already heavy burden of safely transporting students. Bus drivers and their patrolmen, dedicated to the safety of students, compose the safety club. The drivers are responsible for the safe transportation of all students to and from Riverheads. The eight students and two adult drivers who take on this heavy responsibility receive little monetary remuneration but the personal rewards of a job well done makes the trouble worth while. Ten Buses Operated by Safety Club Awaiting the sound of the last bell are: Tommy Humphries, Lacy Buchanan, Larry Lotts, Boyd Buchanan, David Swortzel, David Howell, Warren Painter, Junior Bowers, Lynn Allen, Roger Allen, Sam Sensabaugh, James Hipes, Larry Zink, Wayne Arehart, James Painter, Wayne Balser, Roger Billings, Richard Ellinger, Ronald Hemp, Joe Howell, and Guy Sweet.

Pep Club Incites Enthusiasm Students fulfilling the obligation of leading enthusiasm for ath¬ letics are: Sandra Ballew, President; Jay Tate, Vice President; Ann Patterson, Secretary; Patti Ballew, Treasurer; and Conrad Lawrence, 8th grade representative. The Pep Club of Riverheads High School con¬ tributed an important factor in school life—school spirit. The organization, under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Snyder, attempts to encourage school loyalty and to maintain this once it has been achieved. The Pep Club sponsored a cheering sec¬ tion, reserved for students, at many of the Gladiator home games in an effort to boost team morale and student enthusiasm. A sock hop was sponsored by the Pep Club in January in an effort to raise funds for the pur¬ pose of providing some necessities for a worthy athletic group. I 14 Seven members of the Varsity Club take places in line to receive an autograph of Johnny Unitas at last year’s Awards Banquet. The members of the Varsity Club are: Steve Doyle, Ronnie Shifflett, Johnny Cox, Roger Arm¬ strong, Erkie Cash, Robert Link, and Jerry Hearn. Bill Young, Varsity Club member, substitutes for the regular Gladiator during the Riverheads-Lord Botetourt game. Bill made a dashing gladiator as the R.H.S. boys won their home¬ coming game. Gladiator, Ron Shiff¬ lett, shoots during the Buffalo Gap game. Ron definitely demonstrated the reason for his mem¬ bership in the Varsity Club. Sports Enthusiasts Form the Varsity Club The Varsity Club is composed of students who have earned a letter in any four major sports: football, basketball, base¬ ball or track. Many of the boys who compose this club have attained a letter in two or more of the sports. The official emblem of this athletically-minded group are the red school letters worn proudly on the boy’s white sweaters. Three senior Varsity Club members also served as tri-captains of the football team. These boys proved their ability on the football field throughout the season. They are Johnny Cox, Gary Ayers and Roger Harris. I IK Yearbook sponsors, Mrs. Mollie Ramsey and Miss Elizabeth Snyder confer concerning pic¬ tures needed for the Colosseum’s organization section. Bill Morris, Robert Link, Lawrence Ham, Russell Potter, Nancy Gladwell, Barbara Schooley, and Lawrence Nuckols prepare advertising layouts attractively. Colosseum Staff Toils Class Editor, Susan Whistleman, demonstrates proper layout form to assistants: Bonnie Back, Shelvy Brooks, and Linda Rosen. After about seven months of planning, picture¬ taking, writing, proofreading, rewriting, and typing, the 1964-65 Colosseum finally went to press on February 26, 1965. Even before the actual laying out and putting together of this year’s volume, staff members could be found combing Augusta County selling ads to finance their work. Then in just a few short months the announcement was made that year¬ book deposits were being accepted. Following this announcement there was a final rush to get the last copy sheets off to Dallas, Texas for printing. Although the staff had its general headquarters in the library conference room, staff members could usually be found working in Miss Snyder’s class¬ room, Mrs. Ramsey’s office, or plunking away in the typing room as well as running up and down the halls seeking information. 116 Kenneth Mason, organizations editor, points out a column of effective copy to his assistants, Thelma Wheeler, Nancy Clark, and Elaine Homan. Editor Judy Hyde and her assistant Alice Houston go ovfer initial yearbook plans with department heads: Sandra Ballew, sports; Kenneth Mason, organizations; Lawrence Ham, ad¬ vertising; Nancy Gladwell,’ assistant business manager; Emily McGay, feature; and Denay Trykowski, layout. Denay Trykowski and Janet Law, layout editors, and sports editors, Sandra Ballew, Becky Lou Cash, and Robert Humphries plan a layout and copy for the six-time winning football team. to Meet Deadlines Feature editors Beth Small, Emily McGay, and Charlene Manspile devise a new method for presenting material about teachers and their educational ex¬ periences. Major Savedge of the Augusta Military Academy’s prize winning yearbook, The Recall, lectures to the Colosseum staff members on journalistic rules for yearbook publication. The ephemeral yet challenging mystery of youth presents itself in many phases of school life. The third generation Gladiators have tasted both the sweetness of victory and the bitterness of defeat. But in the eyes of their coaches and their fans the River- heads athletes have remained as admired as though their record were unblemished. Their loyal contingent of fans has con¬ tinued to follow them from victory in foot¬ ball to defeat in basketball and will con¬ tinue to follow them tnrough the baseball and trark season. By competition in athletics the partici¬ pants learn lessons which will he beneficial in later life. The desire to win must be overshadowed by a sincere desire to be fair and to maintain the epitome of good sportsmanship. Those young people par¬ ticipating in athletics at Riverheads High School attempt to live up to this ideal. In their later years it is hoped that they will be able to recall their sports activities with pleasure and with gratitude for the oppor¬ tunities which they have been afforded. Youth An Ephemeral The trophy case was decorated with the symbols of Riverheads High School’s first Homecoming. Excitement ran high as the students eagerly awaited the announcement of the Homecoming Queen and the members of her court. Mystery Is ...

The gridiron was hot with action as the Gladi¬ ators rolled over the Bisons by a score of 19 to 0. JiM, The 1964 Riverheads Var¬ sity football squad completed a successful season on the gridiron this year. The third generation Gladiators, under¬ estimated by sports critics in pre-season speculation, rolled to a record of six wins and three losses. Led by tri-cap- tains, Johnny Cox, Roger Har¬ ris, and Gary Ayres, the Gladi¬ ators ended the season in third position in District V stand¬ ings. A year predicted by many to be a building year for R.H.S. turned into a suc¬ cessful year of competition. As the 1964 football season opened for the members of the football team so did it open for two other groups in¬ volved in the athletic program —the coaches and cheerlead¬ ers. Without the guidance of the coaches and the inspira¬ tion provided by the cheer¬ leaders it is doubtful that the football team would have been so successful. The excellent record of the varsity football squad was a tribute to the coaches and cheerleaders as well as the team. ' fijLtk .

Miss Rosen was escorted by Gene Rosen (right) and crowned by Mr. Samuel F. McClure. Jr. Gladiator Gridmen Choose Queen The autumn of 1964 brought another first to Riverheads High School as the Gladiator fans and football squad observed their first homecoming. To the football team went the honor of choosing the first homecoming queen, to the four upper class¬ es the privilege of choosing their repre¬ sentatives to the queen’s court, and to the S.C.A. the task of planning the festivities. Chosen queen was Miss Becky Rosen, an attractive member of the senior class. Gene Rosen, also a senior, received the honor of escorting the queen on the eve¬ ning of her coronation. The four lovely girls selected to attend Miss Rosen were: Senior representative, Miss Beth Small, junior representative, Miss Becka Thomas, sophomore representative, Miss Tina Rolen, and freshman representative, Miss Patti Ballew. % The evening of October 30 was desig¬ nated for the homecoming celebration. The queen and her court were introduced to the Gladiator fans by Mr. Vernon Lewis and the R.H.S. band during the half-time ceremony. Miss Rosen was crowned by Mr. Samuel F. McClure, Jr., school board member from Riverheads District. The evening ended very successfully with a Gladiator victory over the Cavaliers of Lord Botetourt by a margin of 6-0. 124 The Homecoming fans watch delightedly as the Varsity cheerleaders spur the team to victory over Lord Botetourt High School by a margin of 6-0.

Jayvees Gain Experience in Baby Gladiator Ronnie Earhart prepares to punt as the Gladiators attempt to stop the Fort Defiance Jayvees. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders began their duties officially on the afternoon of the first J.V. football home game. These eight young ladies provided the inspiration which sparked the Baby Gladiators through¬ out the fall season. As the athletic endeavor changed from football to basketball, the J.V. cheerleaders made appropriate changes in their cheers. The prowess was proven when the J.V. basketball team rolled to a winning season. Due to the experience gained by these young ladies, under the guidance of Miss Edith Harlow, future varsity cheerleaders should benefit. 126 The Junior Gladiators ended the 1964 season with a 0-5 record. Even though the boys were not successful on the gridiron, they learned the basic fundamentals of the sport-lessons which they will find useful in future competition. Most of the young men were inexperienced during the 1964 season and will return, to the J.V. team next year. The Baby Gladiators were coached by Mr. Harry Whitt and led by their co-cap¬ tains Sam Benson and Ronnie Earhart. With experience and determination the 1965 Gladiators should show 7 marked im¬ provement. The Jayvee Cheerleaders encouraged their team during the Fort Defiance game. They are Patti Ballew, Doris Moses, Sandy Fitzgerald, and Brenda Rich¬ ardson. Sportsmanship and Competition The Junior Varsity football squad gained valuable experience during the 1964. season. They are: Steve Shifflett, Frankie Doyle, Robert Hundley, Doug Orebaugh, Ronnie ' Earhart, David Benson, Bill Eby, Gary Long, Gary Earhart, Charlie Marcum, Dick Weiss, Lynn Gutshall, Bill Armstrong, Ronnie Ayres, Coach Harry Whitt, David Lewis, Tommy Lawhom, Conrad Lawrence, Roger .Billings, Ray Kimble, Bill Hughes, Glenn Conner, and Doug Harris. fell V- j ft ' ajj ftp® v ■ mm The Gladiator cheerleaders perform for the home crowd in th Riverheads Arena.

Gladiators Possess Outstanding Mr. Cecil Layman proudly accepts the sportsmanship trophy from Mr. Kenneth Landes on the final evening of the District 5 tournament. Mr. Layman seems to be overwhelmed with pleasant surprise as he accepts the much sought after award. The varsity cheerleaders opened the sea¬ son with a pep rally held in the gym. Ex¬ citement ran high as the 1964-65 basket¬ ball team appeared for the first time on the Riverheads court. As the season progressed the unsuccessful Gladiators found a great deal of consolation in the exuberance of the cheerleaders and the loyalty of their fans. Without the support of these eight young ladies and the Gladiator fans it is doubtful that the students of Rivecheads High School would have been the recipients of the cov¬ eted District 5 sportsmanship trophy. 128 The 1964-65 basketball season proved to be exactly the kind of year predicted by pre-season sports critics—a building year. The Varsity Glad¬ iators ended the season with a less than de¬ sirable record of one win and eighteen losses. Even with this trying season the Riverheads roundball men never los t sight of either their desire to do their best or their high standards of sportsmanship. The squad was paced by high scorer Ronnie Shifflett, who placed third in district scoring. The boys were coached by Mr. Ken Downey and Mr. Jim Digges. It is hoped that the experience gained by the boys this year will lead to a more successful 1965-66 season. The Gladiator cheerleaders take time out for a break during one of their frequent practices. They are: Carol Eakin, Sarah Palmer, Becka Thomas, Joyce Hanger, Bonnie Cash, Tina Rolen, and Willie Gaddy. Sportsmanship Throughout Season In December of 1964 Riverheads High School presented its varsity basketball squad. The members of the team were Harvey Almarode (foreground), Dave Orebaugh, Monk Davis, Phil Brandt, David Schooley, Richard Morris, Bill Weiss, Steve Doyle, Ron Shifflett, Gary Fry, Bernie Earhart, and Coach Ken Downey. A Losing Season Fails (Right): Gladiator Bill Weiss (35) seems to be practicing his lessons in modern dance as he leaps high over a V.S.D. squad mem¬ ber. Bill’s teammate Dave Orebaugh (45) watches the talented Mr. Weiss as he per¬ forms. In this game played on the Scarlet Raiders’ home court the Gladiators fell to the V.S.D. team by a score of 73-64. (Left): The Riverheads Arena was alive with action on the evening of January 2 as the Gladiators hosted the Stonewall Jackson High School Generals. Here Riverheads team member Bill Weiss attempts to drop the roundball in for those two all-important points. In this exciting game the Gladiators were defeated by a score of 61-55. 130 (Right): Gladiators Dave Orebaugh (45) and Ronnie Shifflett are determined to snag this rebound for the Riverheads five. The de¬ termination of Orebaugh and Shifflett is matched by two Buffalo Gap players and at this point the battle seems to he a draw. In this game played on the Bison court the Gladiators fell to the Buffalo Gap team by a score of 80-51. (Below): Grim determination is mirrored on the faces of Gladiator Bill Weiss (34) and two Fort Defiance players as each attempts to gain sole possession of the ball. In this game the Gladiators were trounced by the Indians by a score of 60-44. .1 -j to Dim Gladiator Determination (Above): Gladiator Dave Orebaugh (44) drives under the basket for a lay-up which proved to be good for two valuable points. An Alleghany player attempts in vain to block Dave’s shot. The spirited Riverheads crew, occupying last place in District 5 standings, held the second-place Colts down in the scoring column, but were unable to find the mark themselves. As the Riverheads hardwood blazed with fast action, the Gladiators went down in defeat by a score of 64-34. c r Build (Below): Riverheads squad member Monk Davis (33) jumps high over a Wilson player for a quick shot. Monk’s two points aided the Riverheads cause in a thrilling game played on the Wilson court. In this thrilling encounter, the Gladiators came close to upsetting the higher ranked Hornet squad. With the score deadlocked at the end of the regulation game, the two teams entered into overtime. The Riverheads lads battled valiantly in an effort to claim their first victory, but as the clock ran out the scoreboard showed the Wilson squad victorious by a score of 70-68. 132 for Future Action R.H.S. 44 Lexington 77 R.H.S. 49 Lord Rotetourt 75 R.H.S. 53 Fort Defiance 78 R.H.S. 64 V.S.D. 73 R.H.S. 51 Buffalo Gap 80 R.H.S. 55 Stonewall Jackson 61 R.H.S. 44 Wilson 60 R.H.S. 41 Rockbridge 58 R.H.S. 53 Waynesboro 69 R.H.S. 53 Clifton Forge 74 R.H.S. 44 Fort Defiance 60 R.H.S. 46 Waynesboro 72 R.H.S. 68 Wilson 70 R.H.S. 57 James River 84 R.H.S. 34 Alleghany 64 R.H.S. 71 V.S.D. 63 R.H.S. 38 Rockbridge 58 R.H.S. 43 Buffalo 56 Gladiator Bill Weiss battles an Alleghany player in an effort to retrieve a loose ball.

The 1964-65 cross-country team was the first in the history of Riverheads High. The members of the team are: Coach Harry Whitt, James Hipes, Bernie Earhart, Bobby Ma, Gary Fry, Joe Wright, and Jimmy Humphries. Riverheads Introduces Cross-Country o y?

ALcl-v+L y r’u g__ Here Bobby Via, Gary Fry, James Hipes, and Joe Wright lead the boys in one of many practice rims. A new phase in athletic competition began in 1964 as Riverheads High School became an active competitor in cross-country events. The cross-coun¬ try team engaged in two meets. The boys were de¬ feated in the meet with Fort Defiance by a score of 45-15 but were victorious against Buffalo Gap High School by a score of 29-27. The district meet was held in Lexington at Washington and Lee Uni¬ versity. The Riverheads boys did not place in this encounter, but gained valuable experience for fu¬ ture meets. Most of the boys on the team are returning next year. The cross-country coach, Harry Whitt, is looking forward to a more successful season for this new year. Spring introduces two important sports which round out the over-all athletic program—baseball and track. Approximately seventy boys participate in these two athletic programs. A great deal of time and effort is spent in preparing the participants and their equipment for the rigors of outdoor com¬ petition. The 1964 track team was coached by Mr. Ken¬ neth Downey, assisted by Mr. Jim Digges. Due to the lack of facilities a great deal of time was spent in the preparation of equipment and the construc¬ tion of a suitable track field. Three meets were scheduled for the season and the Gladiators were defeated in each of these Contests. The 1965 team is looking forward to a more successful season with several lettermen returning. The Riverheads baseball club ended its season with a record of three wins and five losses in dis¬ trict competition. The members of the squad, coached by Mr. Hunter Talbott, operated under a point system, receiving a certain number of points for their achievements. Coach Talbott also intro¬ duced several forms of entertainment to create more interest in the baseball games. Familiar sights at all the Gladiator home games were balloons, the Gladiator band, and plenty of hot dogs, popcorn, and drinks. TRACK SCOREBOARD R.H.S. 31 Ft.

The grand- champions are Denny Grimm, Dale Truxell, and Larry Moomau. Intramurals Encourage Participation Intramural competition became an integral part of the athletic program at Riverheads High School during the 1964-65 school year. The fall season brought a great deal of activity for both boys and girls. The boys began their intramural activities with touch football, soccer, and volleyball. The girls became involved ip, the two field sports of hockey and soccer. As the year progressed the boys participated in horseshoes and both boys and girls played bad¬ minton and basketball. The basketball intramural games are the most popular events for both boys and girls. The winners in basketball, decided by a process of double elimination, usually play the faculty in a thrilling and often humorous game. The final stage of the intramural program, follow¬ ing basketball, is softball. Boys and girls both com¬ pete in this portion of the program. The intramural system is well organized and is a source of pleasure to a great number of students who otherwise could not participate in athletics. The entire system is a tribute to the participants and to Mr. Hunter Talbott, boys’ coach, and Miss Edith Harlow, girls’ coach. 138 c - ' W— 1 1 1 i II 11 1 1 The girls’ soccer championship was won by these Sophomore and Junior girls: Pauline Harris, Judy Davis, Linda Yowell, Jill Webb, Janet Law, Doris Moses, Joyce Law, Jill Webb, Becky Chandler, Susan Young, Martha Hanger, Sharon Harris, and Wyatt Lawrence.

They are: Jerry Link, Denny Grimm, Ronnie Earhart, Gary McClung, Frankie Doyle, Ronnie Hanger, Conrad Lawrence, Buddy Kelly, David Benson, Coach Hunter Talbott, Gary Shuey, Dick Weiss, Lynn Gutshall, Johnny Bryant, and Bill Eby.

Riverheads students, while soliciting ad¬ vertisements from the Staunton, Waynes¬ boro, Greenville, Stuarts Draft, and Mint Spring area businesses, showed enthusiasm and initiative. Their purpose in collecting the advertisements was to bring Riverheads and local firms into a closer association for mutual benefits. Especially when the students link them¬ selves with business, community and scho¬ lastic affairs assume new meaning in that patrons not having children at Riverheads participate more freely in school-sponsored activities. Likewise students and teachers prefer to patronize the firms advertised in the Colosseum. Often businesses contribute to yearbook solicitors feeling that their contribution will merely support a certain school. This rea¬ soning holds true in some cases. However, many times, especially when there are pic¬ tures, students, parents, and patrons exam¬ ine it incredibly carefully. Therefore, Riverheads has hoped that its 1964-1965 Colosseum’s advertising section will make for progress in local business en¬ terprises and draw the entire community into closer communion with Riverheads, its administrators, its faculty, and its stu¬ dents . . . Meanwhile the snow-blanketed streets of Staunton invite progress.
