A gristmill, where grain is ground, has the comforts of electricity and air conditioning. Always bustling with activity, the colonial town closely resembles a city, except cars have replaced the traditional horse and buggy. Happiness is finally reaching a major goal in their lives. Aristocrats made known their power and wealth in all aspects of their lives. I 2 Community Settlers found that America contains many rich ores from which they create expensive pieces of beauty, engraved with favorite designs. People As Well As Materials Needed Communities cannot be formed With only buildings And material things. People Are the whole Idea behind the formation Of the community of Lee. All elements of people Were incorporated into the Makeup of this entire Community. Planters and Harvesters in Turn sowed the seed and Reaped the benefits of Life. Succeeding generations involved Themselves in the updating Along with the Council and Governor. People represented themselves With their house and Representatives within the SCA. Student Cooperative Association. Together these formed what in 1927 became known as the Robert E. Lee community. Community—3 Linking the past with the present, a log cabin reflects the beginning of community life, as Lee reflects the start of a student’s life. Special Elements Add To Public Life Along with the basics In a community there Must be special Elements That add to the lives Of the Public and Relieve the tensions of Work. Whether met with Honors or Defeat, competition Always provided many Challenges For Spiriters. Different Events planned throughout The year kept up the Morale Of both Planters and Harvesters as they struggled To make ends meet in Life. And dotted throughout the Rougher parts of learning Were the pleasant aspects at Lee, Which seemed to make the Growing up process easier. I Water in the New World provides not only power, but the rivers and waterfalls remain attractive to citizens as well as tourists. Evolving from the emptiness of a field, the community of Lee sprang up producing new life and filling the minds of those eager to learn. :olonies rebelled against Britain using fiery leeches and stirring emotions to fight for their wn central, democratic government. Community—5 Modern man doesn’t think twice when pushing a button to drink water, but our forefathers used wells in order to quench thirst. Familiarity of the hard-trodden animals of yesteryear has slowly disintegrated, replaced by modern transportation and machinery. In two hundred years America has progressed from thirteen weak colonies into a Fifty state power, lighting the way for world democracy. Quietly awaiting passengers, a horse and carriage from Williamsburg contrast the current mode of travel the fast, sleek sportscar. 1 ' 6- Contrast Contrast To Grow, Change People Supply New, antique. Young, old. Beginning, lend. Contrasting emotions, stages, qualities existed anywhere there were people with insight for change and update. No matter what the object, always it remained subject to “perfection”. Growing, changing, expanding like the seed in growing, the community moved with the times and tides of renovation. The structure remained much the same but never the people. Conforming to Time, Planters and Harvesters, along with the Governor and Council, sought better methods of sowing and reaping. Commercialization advances as people of today expose themselves to luxuries galore, contrasting the necessity-minded people of yesteryear. Evolving from the bucket brigades of old, the modern fire truck exemplifies tire changes in trans¬ portation during the past 200 years. Contrast 7 Throughout the year, PARTY becomes the slogan for seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike; during games, holidays, and finally graduation. Really excited about a homework assignment she crammed into study hall, Tammy Obaugh ex¬ presses her feelings in a long, drawnout yawn. No matter how long one has been around, some¬ times a person feels small and insecure when he finds himself in a new, strange situation. 8 Emotions Expressing his opinion of the appetizing school lunches, Tracy Davis tries to decide whether he should eat it or use it as a paperweight. Emotions , Moods Nurture Lee Community A tmosphere new officers; emotions caused students to seek through new ideas. Everywhere in the Lee community were feelings and emotions that determined the outcome of these ideas when presented to the community. No matter what the occasion or circum¬ stance, the emotions and moods of the student body of Lee determined the atmosphere. In sports, as semblies, and classes, Leepersons actively supported or rejected the events. Feelings showed in the election of Both Mrs. Virginia Martin and Bill Atkins know that two heads are better than one as they liven MacBeth and write it in “modern” English. Heartfelt prayer of many nations and people, peace remains one of the most longed for world relation¬ ships, as it has for generations. Emotions—9 Emotions Inspire Needed Change In a changing world filled with emo¬ tions and feelings, the community of Lee could not remain immune to add¬ ed freedoms and change. Different parrishoners had different ideas about how to run the government and how limit¬ ed or extensive that government would be. Everywhere, in each place of work or leisure, people throughout the community had ideas fhat they felt should be heard. With each new generation, and new group of tradesmen, Lee became filled with new feelings, new ideas, new methods of doing things, new likes or dislikes. The whole of the community encircled the idea of people being people. Casting shadows over the lives of students, the massive Robert E. Lee High School stands looming over the future of graduating seniors. Patriotism flares as loyal eyes gaze upward to the symbol of our country and citizens look forward to our bicentennial celebration. Love means different things to different people, but to all love is an experience and keepsake to be remembered and learned from. LOVE LOVE IS REAL. REAL IS LOVE LOVE IS FEELING. FEELING LOVE LOVE IS WANTING TO BE LOVED LOVE iS TOUCH, TOUCH IS LOVE LOVE IS REACHING, REACHING LOVE L E IS ASKING TO BE LOVED LOVE IS YOU YOU AND ME LOVE IS KNOWING A C Df I r jb ! n q c i Ayr | 1 c FR EE, FREE IS i HVF i awc r LUVfc id LiV ING, LIVING i i I 1 $ w v ¥ lOVE 1 1 c E EDING TO B r i ' “N ur r f 1 i ] j r w 1 10—Emotions SSI Personality patterns develop through the years as sophomores advance to juniors, juniors advance to seniors and seniors move on to the challenges ahead. Infinity triumphs over the lives of students as they gaze into the questions of the future and the wonderments it may hold in store. The greatest kindness we con offer each other Peacefulness and serenity vibrates off the walls of Lee High as students relax from the everyday trials and tribulations of school life. Forgetfulness almost always applies to homework as birthdays tend to be remembered, to the sorrow of those celebrating them. Emotions—11 Almost completely emptied of its contents, alone tray stands abandoned by its frustrated owner, surrendering to the unappetizing desserts. Student interest rises when teachers offer a choice between television programs or a study lesson as the t.v. triumphed unanimously. Talented and resourceful, Mrs. Virginia Martin re¬ veals her originality in her hand-sewn clothes, her ships’ bell, and her pig collection. Towering high, “Old Glory” waves triumphantly, reminding us of our proud heritage and pro¬ claiming freedom in the hearts of all Americans. 12—Tradition Adding a new dimension to the annual powder puff clash of the classes, senior cheerleaders don skirts and wigs to promote senior spirit. ‘ Wizard of Oz Ranks With Lee Traditions Just as “The Wizard of Oz” had become an annual tradition on television, so had many things become tradition in the community of Lee. Even with the change of people, ideas, and desires, there remained numerous things, peopl and symbols which stood for some¬ thing special and longlasting. Making the newspaper also means making the Hilites bulletin board kept up to date for students and teachers by the guidance committee. Getting into the football spirit Susan Collins and Joan Wood demonstrate their athletic abilities much to the chagrin of Robin Knopp. V. Tradition—13 Each year, poet Max Ellison returns to Lee bring¬ ing with him his poem; bringing to life speeding trains, a skunk, the thrill of an auction. Lee Identified With Unique Symbols Many times a person could identify the Lee parrish by an act or symbol. Over the years, the community built ideals special and unique for our community. No other place exerted the same kind of feeling that came from Lee. In many areas, Lee stood alone, backing up all she created and continued to create along the way. Crepe paper plus glittered letter plus lots of con¬ struction paper equals football players’ lockers decorated by “secret pals” during the season. 14—Tradition iSljVbcM nm rtt ' ■tmam ITftckU- Tmxwt CARPER you’re the best flWit IsH m To many Lee students “Old George” is just another fantasy along with college admissions and summer jobs but for a few, it is a reality. Trash, trash, trash, and more trash. A familiar sight to all in the smoking lounge that also doubles for a garbage dump. Tradition -15 Settlers find that the Shenandoah Valley’s uniq beauty and vegetation beckons to them to establ their new community on it’s rich soil. Just as our forefathers built a new nation, so rr we plunge headlong into the stream of life, draw on our school experience to succeed. 16—Planters and Harvesters Seeds Bloom After Twelve Long Years Seeds of time Sown and nurtured Through twelve long Years of hard work; weeding Out the unnecessary, tending What shall remain. The community throughout Took their basics, added Their special elements for The young sprout to grow. Seeds of time Picked and reaped by Harvesters to use Throughout eternity, To be germinated again By love and fulfillment. The process begins again. A never-ending Cycle of life. Beginnings of public schools marked the end of the Civil War, remaining still important outliners of the lives and futures of a community. , • Taking a breather from his mounds of paper work, principal Mr. Charles Kurtz welcomes the oppor¬ tunity to talk to a student with a problem. 1 Administration Seeks Outdoors For Relaxation Principal and assistant principals took to the outside life after being in almost every day. Mr. Charles Kurtz teed off at the green while Mr. Alphonso Hamilton went fishing and grew flowers. Mr. Delmer Botkin directed the athletic activities for practices in the summer months as well as during the school year. Secretary Mrs. Sherry Simantel also enjoyed the open spaces, went camping, and traveled to Texas.

Conferring with Ricky Huff about his future education, junior adviser Mrs. Clara Cummins helps him to understand college application. Counselors Make Use of Summer Vacation Reading and traveling around Virginia were some of the summer activities enjoyed by Mr. John Mozian. Taking time out from being a guidance counselor, Mr. Ernest M. Holly did some gardening, cooking and singing. Meanwhile, Mrs. Clara Cummins devoted her time to admissions to colleges through meetings of Entrance Exam Boards. Guidance secretary Mrs. Opal Homan spent some time at the beach, as well as singing, gar¬ dening and helping with community projects. Relaxation at her Goshen Pass campsite was a favorite pastime for Mrs. Mary Lou Parkins. Director of the Lee Media Center, Mrs. Nell C. Wright spent her leisure hours gardening and entertaining. 20—Planters and Harvesters Running all the audio visual equipment can be a difficult task but with the guidance of Mrs. Elnora Fountaine, it becomes an easy one. Explaining to Jimbo Sowers how to use the refer¬ ence part of the Media Center, Mrs. Nell Wright displays her library science competence. Checking the card catalog files for a missing card, Mrs. Katherine Brooks assumes her role as secre¬ tary and organizer. Stopping long drought to smile, Mr. Ernest Holley finds the break from the paperwork a pleasant experience. Going through piles of different newspapers, print specialist Mrs. Laverne Cacciapaglia chooses the ones to stay in the files. Planters and Harvesters—21 Trying to make her senior English class grasp the main idea, Miss Diann Lehman gesticulates while explaining a story in literature. Keeping silence in the library becomes a difficult task for Miss Bea Morris when she brings her soph¬ omore English students to do research. Junior English students often find discussing famous authors boring, but Mrs. Terry Boyle helps to create a new learning experience. 22 Planters and Harvesters Captivated by a student’s whimsical remark, Mrs. Claudette Obenschain smiles at one of the more amusing reactions to a confusing topic.

Planters and Harvesters—25 Sales, Hunting , Sponsoring A ttract Math Instructors Most teachers don’t enjoy grading papers but for Mr. Jay Higgs grading his students’ algebra prob¬ lems often are funny experiences. Math teachers leaned toward the in¬ teresting and unusual, during their hours off. Mrs. Pat Kidd rummaged at sales and shops for additions to her bell collection. Mr. Jay Higgs liked the outdoor, woodsy life, hunting, fishing and growing trees. Mr. James Christy shared this interest and also preferred hunting and being outdoors while Mr. Bill Robertson sponsored the AFS club and Mrs. Linda Hickey represented the faculty at SEA meetings. Flashing a famous smile to all incoming analysis and calculus students, Mr. Bill Roberson makes the drudgery of learning math enjoyable. 26—Planters and Harvesters Overwrought by some student’s disruption of the class, Mrs. Pat Kidd shakes a commandable fist giving orders to be quiet or else. Making use of the blackboard and the overhead, Mr. James Christy enlightens his students on the basics of geometry and Cramer’s Rule. Jumbles of activity help geometry students learn the theories with Mrs. Linda Hickey coordinating the fun with some good advice.

Checking to see that all his students are present, Mr. Jim Diggs assumes the responsibility of disci¬ plinarian and teacher. Disturbed by a misplaced test, Mrs. Virginia Oben- schain, American history teacher, searches her desk for the paper in question. Attempting to get her point across, Mrs. Jo Meeks uses hand gestures to help create a more vivid picture. Somewhat shocked by an imposing question, Miss Sara Palmer pauses for a moment of silence to count to ten. Specialization Varies Within Department Pre-Civil War and the history of the South were of special interest to Miss Sarah Palmer, while Mrs. Jo Meeks was intrigued by Latin American- United States relations.

Taking notes is an important part of biology class, and Mrs. Isabel McSwain makes sure all her stu¬ dents copy the material correctly. Planters and Harvesters—31 Emphasizing the necessity of driver safety, Mrs. Peggy O’Dell insists that all drivers must operate a car safely and defensively. Coaches Vary In Skills And Interests Under the watchful eyes of coaches Paul Hatcher, Deke Summers, and Wes Meeteer excited students learned the proper skills of safe driving.

Attempting to see things from a student’s point of view, a skeptical Mrs. Diane Wymer takes a back seat to performing drama students. Music Center Of Directors Busy Lives Once a music lover always a music lover. So it goes with Mr. Boisa Taylor and Mr. Robert Sanger. But as well as being involved with singing and bands, Mr. Taylor enjoyed fishing and trying his hand at cards. Mr. Sanger used tools of sports, a tennis racket and golf irons as relaxing agents. Mechanical drawing is not the only interest of Mr. Don Roberts. He also acted as cross country coach and SCA advisor. Becoming the Outdoor Club advisor and helping with FCA took up the spare time of Mr. Mark White while Mrs. Dorothy Wood spent much of her time working with the Future Homemakers. Teaching at Rockbridge Fine Arts Workshop in Lexington during the summer was just one of the activities of Miss Jane Hunter.

Discussing plans for the DECA spring banquet, Mr. Harry Lunsford and Mr. Fred Cook take time out to chat before the guests arrive. Going over the answer one more time, Mrs. Leah Pack proves the old adage of, if at first you don’t succeed try, try again, true. 40—Planters and Harvesters With a smile for the photographer and a lump in his throat, Mr. Paul Jordan prepares himself for the painful but necessary flu shot.

Tradesmen—91 When the public agrees on an issue, the impact can be great: enough to change the system, or to make a performer realize quality of performance. Whether discussing laws for a community or the nation, people are people, with emotions and rights to be incorporated into the constitution. 92—The Public Education Teaches Living Education at Lee Took numerous Forms. Members studied Deligently to Learn About many Aspects of Living. Basic concepts of Speaking, reading, Writing through More complicated Puzzling-worrisome- aspects. Throughout each Day, community Members learned new Ways of holding tighter, And taking a step closer, To their personal Goal And aims for the uncertain Future. Role-playing is part of everyone’s life. Scott Dekle acts out a routine, carefully thought of an practiced for his role as student.

DEATH HE NOT PROUD Eng. Classes Probe Literary Masterpieces Advanced seniors went into mourning after reading Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra, while their senior counterparts struggled with The Canterbury Tales and MacBeth. Sophomores became acquainted with life at Lee by studying Julius Caesar while thoughts of term papers loomed frightenedly ahead. Studying The Crucible, “Roman Fever”, and “Silent Snow, Secret Snow,” proved hard work for juniors as they struggled to find meaning of symbolism in American literature. Pigs become the trademark of Mrs. Virginia Martin and her English students are always greeted by a large group of cheerful animals. The Public—95 is rm M Math includes not only equations and angles and planes but geometry proves itself to be an art in its own right, through design. When all else fails, read the instructions but since that doesn’t help, students decide to ask Mr. James Christy about difficult problems. 96—The Public Logarithms, Equations Stifle Math Enthusiasts Page after page of homework to be done occupied the time of countless math students. Theorems to be learned was a must in order to pass geometry. Logarithms, functions, and linear equations boggled the minds of trig students while seniors and brave juniors tackled analysis. Math career oriented seniors faced the cruel world of calculus with its functions and derivations galore. That’s a real knee slapper! Paul McKeon and Dean Obaugh help keep Mr. Bill Roberson’s analysis classes laughing every day of the year. Enjoying geometry class, Mrs. Linda Hickey tries to keep her students interested by mixing humor and learning techniques. The Public-97 Proclamations of war and peace that now decorate a history class bulletin board, were once headlines for newspapers that carried news of W. W. II. Social Studies Emphasize Changes With the rapidly changing government of the world, social studies students had to study current events and foreign affairs. Tax forms became the nemesis of second semester government students. History students studied two hundred years of American life while sociology classes learned about society in general. Economics pupils learned the value of the dollar and its fluctuation on the market. If ilLw. Learning how to hold on to a precious dollar can be a tough job, but in economics class the student learns how to manage his money. Explaining how our governmental system works, representative Caldwell Butler uses a picture of the capital to emphasize his point. 98—The Public Visiting government classes for the first time since becoming a General Assembly delegate, Pete Giesen compares Republican posters. t Sharing, caring, and being involved three founda¬ tions urge upcoming sophomore to follow in order to have successful high school years. China and the USSR became two important spots on the map when teachers begin to discuss Red takeover in their history classes. The Public 99 Marking the beginning of spring, cans of grasshop¬ pers, worms, and clams are opened for eager soph¬ omores to dissect and identify. Dissection becomes a major part of Lee life in biology as sophomores discover and enjoy the gro¬ tesqueness of an earthworm’s innards. Caught in the act, Goldy must realize the time has come for sophomore biology students, eager to learn about fish. 100—The Public Learning by doing, sophomore biology student Greg Truslow locates and identifies all the parts of the worm with help from Mrs. Wanda Foe. Bottled or canned and prepared for dissection, squids, baby octopusses, and earthworms alike invade the domains of Mr.C’s classroom. Essential to most every chemistry or physics exper¬ iment, gas jets quickly turn into junior and senior science students’ best friends. Biology Pupils Master A rt Of Dissection Exploring the internal parts of flora and fauna, sophomore biology students mastered the art of dissection. Microscopes and scapels helped reveal secrets that can only be found in biology class. Chemistry students utilized their skills in laboratory techniques, while students in physics classes gained knowledge concerning energy and force. Enjoying a second childhood, physics students used mechanical “toys” to help understand the laws of physics. Tire Public —101 Future Drivers Develop Skills On Range Tomorrow’s drivers studied hard in the classroom and drove skillfully around the range. Coach Paul Hatcher guided the sophomores through various simulated situations so they would know how to react on the road. Second semester brought the First Aid books out and students learned how to pro¬ tect and save lives. P.E. taught students everything from basketball to horseshoes, volleyball to shuffle board, and tennis to badminton. Rounding out a personality and creating a diversion from regular classes are two basic aims of physical education. :4m vm Carefully studying the rear view mirror, sophomore Nanny Grover learns the ins and outs of parallel parking between the cones in the park. Taking extreme caution, Pete Hawes concentrates on the rules and regulations learned in the class¬ room and puts them to use on the road. 102—The Public Learning by doing, coach Eddie Carter instructs his sophomore P.E. students in wrestling and then permits them to pr actice on the mats. Backing through the cones causes many mishaps on the driving range but student after student dis¬ covers the experience a very valuable one. Taking a brief timeout for a strategy session, soph¬ omore girls learn field hockey from Miss Sandy Pott, a college hockey player. The Public—103 Preparing for an imaginary trip to Peru, Spanish students learn how to order from a menu and the prices they can expect when they arrive. Displaying taste preferences of Spanish speaking peoples, the bulletin board shows varied types of food from “el carne” to “las fruitas.” 104—The Public Safely piloting his way through Spanish II, Sam Talley strives to pattern his flight plan to receive that essential and all important A. Headphones Produce New Learning A id ABC’s had to be relearned by first year students in French or Spanish. Students called themselves by their foreign names and almost forgot their English names. Television, tapes, and headphones aided in the learning process. Second and third year students concentrated on under¬ standing the culture and speaking the language fluently. Advanced students produced programs, commercials, and soap operas. Unable to comprehend the spelling or pronuncia¬ tion of the language, James Jones pushes off Span¬ ish II as one of Popeye’s favorite foods. The Public—105 Elbow room an d good order help to maintain fast, efficient results as all future secretaries learn in clerk typing class. Concentration on speed and accuracy, senior Glenda Butler rotates her eyes from the machine to her copy in an attempt at a perfect paper. Eyes on the problems and fingers flying, senior Cindy Humphrey concentrates on the booklet as the numbers materialize on the calculator. 106—The Public Business Students Master Keyboards, Office Equipment Flying Fingers, broken fingernails and worn-out erasers characterized business classes. The ever popular one semester course provided students with the fundamental skills of typing without emphasizing speed. Students in the typewriting classes tried their hand at mastering the keyboard, developing correct typing habits, and applying their skills in letter writ¬ ing and business forms.

Mysterious odors lingered in the halls attracting passers-by while inside the classroom, the basic four was practiced to perfection. During the latter part of the year the buzzing of sewing machines filled the classroom accompanied by the pungent odor of glue from making eggshell jewelry. The course as a whole was planned to teach basic skills in nutrition, food preparation and service, and clothing work. Emphasis was placed on the individual and his or her place in the family group. Hiding behind his embroidery, a student in bache¬ lor living class is embarrassed by the presence of the Leeway photographer. Surprise!

A few of the larger organizations to which DECA belongs are the Virginia Association of DE clubs, and the National Association of DE Clubs. DECA sponsored its annual sales of tumblers and Cherrydale Farms candy. The proceeds were used to finance club projects, such as skating and bowling parties, district and state competition, the Employer-Employee Banquet, and the fall Rally. Lee students swept competition events at the district contests: three first place, four second place and three third place. DECA won the Bronze Star Award for chapter activities for the 1975-76 school year. Learning in a relaxed atmosphere is the usual poli¬ cy at Lee, as these distributive education students learn the basics of the business world. 110—The Public m fooSsertfce lapis BOOKS foodsman Haki ry C«i� � i.rooTif •.

SCA Officers Relieve School Debt By $1,200 Eliminating the mounting school store debt occupied the thoughts of the 1975-76 SCA officers led by president John Dickie and treasurer Candy Cline. Fall brought the annual magazine drive to the sophomores’ attention while the juniors sold Bright of America placemats. The yearly candy sale expanded to incompass all three classes selling over 14,000 candy bars. As the year drew to a close, the debt lowered by $1,200, proved one of the outstanding accomplishments for the SCA.

The Newton band members were welcomed at Ingleside and the motor cade was led into town by a police escort. Band members from New Jersey were housed in the homes of area band members. While in Staunton, the Newton band attended a picnic in their honor and put on a free concert together with the Lee band.

Marching Band Ignores Foul Weather Working to perfect their drill techniques, the Marching Leemen could be seen early every morning. Through rain and freezing weather, band members arrived at 7:30 and assembled on the field in front of Lee. The band concentrated on presenting entertaining music and marching formations during halftime at home football games by coordinating their routines with those of the majorettes and drill team. Working together, Mr. Robert Sanger and Miss Beverly Ervine, a newcomer to Lee, directed the band to perfection in music and drills. The band also undertook other activities. Marching in Staunton’s annual Christmas parade the Lee band received warm applause, making the weather seem a little more bearable. Spring brought the promise of a trip to New Jersey and a concert for the student body and the community. Activists—145 Displaying their abilities on the field enables the fans to see the hard work and coordination that all Lee majorettes must possess.

T, Shoemaker , Ralston Lead Drill , Twirlers Advising the majorettes and drill team, Mrs. Carolyn Kinzie and Shirley Eppard worked long hours to form two well coordinated units. Working closely with the band, the girls marched and proudly carried th e new school flag. The squads had a bottle drive, odd job day, and a car wash to raise money. Captains of the drill team and majorettes were Jeannie Shoemaker and Sherry Ralston. 146 -Spiriters Practicing their routines every morning before school pays off as the Lee High drill team performs a halftime show with flawless precision.

Gymnastics teamed with traditional cheers gave the varsity squad a brand new look. Chant after chant led the crowd into enthusiastic support of the team. Working together Sharon Baker, DeChantel Brooks, Dee Flavin, Ruth Fitzgerald, Karen Goode, Robin Knopp, Deni Washington, and Sara Wood spirited the Mighty Leemen. Exuberant in appearance and cheerful in manner, Dee Flavin encourages a response of enthusiasm and spirit from the Lee High fans. 148—Spiriters Moods vary as distinctly as the people themselves during a gathering of the varsity cheerleaders who discuss plans for future assemblies. Giving her all to raise more support from the fans, senior cheerleader DeChantel Brooks knows the value of an enthusiastic crowd. Jumping high and yelling loudly the 1976 varsity cheerleaders help to promote the extra spirit neces¬ sary to spur on a Leemen victory.

JV Spiriters A ttend State Tournament Traveling to the state girls ' basket¬ ball tournament highlighted the JV cheerleader’s year. Always on the go, the JV squad handed out programs at varsity games, cheered at JV games, and led the cheering at the girls’ and boys’ basketball games. During the spring many of the JV’s encour¬ aged the thinclads on to victory. The squad composed of Diane Branscome, Heidi Doak, Nanny Grover, Ellen Fitzgerald, Tina Lecheler, Lewana Harlow, Jolene Mills, and Shelby Wine never lost their spirit no matter how tired they got. They always had a clap on their hands and a cheer on their lips. Uncertainty finds Jolene Mills in an odd position as she glances toward fellow j.v. cheerleaders for a helpful hint to words or motions. 150—Spiriters Marveled by the skillfulness of rival cheerleaders, Lee’s j.v. cheerleaders patiently await the chance to perform their halftime hello cheer.

Lee co-captains, Robert Carper and Teddy Mad¬ dox, stand on the 50 yard line waiting for the official to toss the coin, hoping that Lee will be able to receive. New Faces Greet Loyal Football Fans Football season brought many faces to the attention of Lee High fans. Coach Deke Summers brought a new coaching technique to Lee from Andrew Lewis in Roanoke. With the graduation of 20 players from last year, including most of the starters, Coach Summers had very little experience to work with. From the beginning he also had a very small team in numbers. Only 27 players came out fielding one of the smallest teams in years, but these young men fought against some of the largest and most experienced opponents. Although the team didn’t break too many records in their 1-8-1 season, they did improve with every game. Surveying the delayed action in the middle of the grid-iron, the referees rush in to assist as the Lee- men scramble for a loose football. 152—Spiriters Lee Opponent 0 Covington 0 0 Albemarle 12 7 Radford 21 6 Waynesboro 14 3 Turner Ashby 42 28 Broadway 6 19 Harrisonburg 56 7 Charlottesville 34 0 William Fleming 14 6 Lexington 34 Frustrated with his knee injury, Kirk Julian stands on the sidelines enveloped in the action and antici¬ pating his return to the field. Pacing the sideline enables assistant football coach Alan Richardson to keep his mind on the action and h is eyes on the game. Struggling to gain that all important first down, a Harrisonburg Streak surrenders and falls to the onslaught of a mighty Lee defense. Spiriters—153 Taking time out to observe the game instead of participating in it, Gary Haston watches carefully as the action on the field progresses. Forced to retreat to the sidelines by a painful injury, Teddy Maddox receives quick professional medical attention from “Doc” Hall. Making the kick off that really counts is the impor¬ tant job belonging to Dennis Cobb as he sends the football down the field in high style. 154—Spiriters Waiting for plays to materialize, Lee players pace impatiently awaiting their chance to help push the action toward their goal. Assured that Broadway’s defense exhibits no chal¬ lenge against Lee’s mighty offense, Mike Wood points out the dangers of over-confidence. Haston, Maddox Named To A ll District Individual performances provided the highlights of the season, in particular the brilliant run backs of up and coming freshman Greg Smith. The Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award went to captain Teddy Maddox while Steve Coulter picked up the Outstanding Defensive Lineman trophy at the Fall Sports Banquet. Chosen by their teammates as most valuable players were Billy Atkins on offense and Gary Haston on defense. Teddy Maddox and Gary Haston became the only players to be named to the ALL-District Team for 1975. As far as Jimmie Washington is concerned, that opponent is going nowhere with that pigskin, much less over the end line for a score. Spiriters—155 As the quarterback gets ready to pass the football, other players steady themselves for the corning contact as they push onward. Each player has a job to do, but to fans it is as though the field is a free-for-all and keeping an eye on the ball seems impossible. While all the players who are guarding him tumble on the ground, one of Lee’s players sees his chance to block the opponent’s kick. 156-Spiriters Turning warily, Gregg Smith discovers that he be¬ came the most sought-after man when all the other players realized he held the ball.

An unusual turnabout in tradition occurred with the Harrisonburg games, as the baby Leemen won on Harrisonburg turf, but lost to them on their own soil. The j.v.’s ended their season with Charlottesville, but it was by no means least, being one of their hardest games. As a result, the baby Leemen proved themselves to be a strong and invincible unit.

The team of Dean Stuart, David Chaffins, Hilary Pandak, Scott Johnson, Drew Wine, Timmy Crawford, Junior Brown, Robert Stuart, Jeff Smith, Larry Sheets, Mike Wood, and Mike Madden tied for first place in the regular season race, but the draw put Waynesboro and Turner Ashby in the top seeds.

Tennis Team Battles With Loss Of Experience With only two players returning from last year’s team, the 1976 squad consisted of many underclassmen, nine of whom should return next year. A season record of 3—8 discouraged some of the players but the squad had much to be proud of. Each match pro¬ vided long hard fought individual matches and the total match score often read 4 — 5.

With 23 golfers coming out to qualify for every match the team exhibited the rising area interest in the sport. Having their first winning season in recent years, the golfers recorded a 6—3 overall record. Led by Paul McKeon, named most consistent golfer at the sports banquet, and Gregg Clatterbaugh, named most valuable, the team came in second in both the district and regional meets to the scarlet Hurricanes from Lexington, who went on to capture the state title.

Fighting Lee Ladies Earn State Championship Crown Through hard practices and lots of hard work the Fighting Lee Ladies put together a 14-4 regular season record. With devastating injuries to many key players the Lee Ladies saw their winning streak broken, but after a loss to Nelson County the basketball season turned around. The girls began to play a more deliberate game. After the change and the healing of the varsity starters, the girls began to roll. The awards given at the Fall Sports reflected the tremendous success of the girls. Each player and coach received a trophy commemorating their state championship donated by the Staunton Recreation Department as well as the varsity letter each girl earned. Awarded the Most Valuable Player trophy for her contribution to the team was captain Shirley Jones. For her outstanding defensive play Cindy Elmore received the Best Defensive Player Award. Although Patty Shiflett was ineligible to play last year when she first arrived in Staunton she made up for lost time when she finally hit the courts. For her speedy improvement she won the Most Improved Player Award. Averaging 16 points a game Judy Cottrell received the Best Offensive Player trophy while Karen Sanger picked up the award for having the highest field goal percentage. All these awards were meaningful but perhaps the award the girls most enjoyed seeing received was the award they gave Coach Peggy O’Dell— a sterling silver ice bucket engraved with the date of the state championship and the names of each of the players on it. A fitting end to a great season. Happiness radiates from the face of assistant coach Pat McCool after the Lee girls conquered the state tournament in Roanoke.

Ladies Top Off Season With Trophy Winning a state tournament is usually very special, but even more so when it’s the first girls’ state tournament in recent years. A regular season record of 14-4 led the team to regional play. The girls defeated Orange County before a home town crowd at John Lewis Junior High. The next night, district rival Turner Ashby toppled as the Lee girls were victorious in the regional finals. An overnight stay in Roanoke added to the excitement of playing in the State Tournament. Many Lee fans drove to William Byrd High School in Vinton to see the ladies win, and they were not disappointed. The team narrowly defeated Blacksburg High School to advance to the finals.
