The event was preceded the night before by a small party in the cafeteria held to welcome the delegations to the school. The annual meet at VMI was next. Torsten Toms won the Best Delegate award, while Tommy Lackey, Jennie Cornish and Linda Biggs captured the second place delegation award. As soon as that meet was over, the club left for an overnight trip to Statesville, NC, to participate in the North Iredale M odel U.N. meet.

Latin Club “Little but lively” would best describe the Rockbridge Latin Club. Instead of the annual Slave Sale, the club tried something new by sponsoring a sock-hop for their fund raising project. Proceeds from this were used to treat the patients at the Stonewall Jackson Extended Care Facility on Valentines Day. Elderly patients enjoyed the feast of fruit and cookies as supplied by the members of the club. Toga-clad members, parents and guests enjoyed the highlight of the year, the annual Roman Banquet. Pizza, salad and home-made desserts were feasted upon by the ‘citizens’, who after were spectators at a real Roman Wedding. Sharon Tolbert and David Franklin were the lucky couple for this. The Latin Club is set up to provide extra-curricular activities in Latin for students taking the subject and those who have completed two or more years. The club is a member of both the Virginia and National Junior Classical League and as such was able to participate in the state convention. The students enjoys a whole year of combined learning with their sponsor, Mrs. Elizabeth Fauber.
