Lunsford, Scott Cullen, Stuart Bishop, David Stuart, Doug Mayo, and Coach Gary Schuler. Undefeated became the watchword for the Rockbridge High School Tennis Team as they watched each opposing school go down to defeat. After four matches with Bath County, Clifton Forge and Staunton River, Rockbridge remained the only tennis team in the Pioneer District to end its season undefeated. This was to be a building year for the team. No pressure was really placed on the team since no one expected them to win. Yet they shocked everyone, including themselves.

Come Sail Away i, Seniors enjoy their last prom at the expense of the Junior class. The evening was cool. The date was May 10, 1980. All of the hard work and effort that had been working desperately in an effort to present one of the best proms RHS had ever had. First the canopy had to be sewn piece by piece by ... After a month of sewing the canopy was completed. 24 Prom Juniors then started painting murals created by the talents of Jimmy Clemmer and sponsor Mr. Chambers. The week before the Prom was a hectic one. The Junior Class officers ran around the school like chicken with their heads cut off! Were things ever going to pull themselves together? They did and it was FABULOUS!! As couples boarded the cruise ship they admired flourescent port holes, ocean murals. Couples listened to the exciting music of the Kays from North Carolina. After all was said and done, the couples were left with the feeling that this was one of the best Proms ever.
