2 Opening Once Upon A Time Rustburg High School — home of the Red Devils. Beautifully situated in the heart of Campbell County just below the slopes of Long Mountain. The school, located on the main street of the county seat, starts every Sep- tember to try to go about doing an impossible task, and that is to try to teach one thousand students something about the academics of the world. The classes range from study hall to calculus. The methods of teaching range from contract methods to college preparatory lec- tures. All the students here at RHS revolve around individuality, and yet every person must con- form to the mass of students. When you think, you can think as an individual; when you act, you must act as a group, for to be any other way would cause personal disappointment. It is the knowledge of experience and the assur- ance that comes from knowing that you have a right to be a person as well as a member of the form a rphosise around Directions.

Moods The mood of the school. From what does it originate? How do you determine the mood of a school or anything for that matter? Many of these questions plagued the annual staff in the opening weeks of the 1974-75 school year. The mood of the entire school, as reviewed by the annual staff, was Direc- tions. Directions can be involved in so many of the activities here at RHS. In order for all of us to cope with the happenings of today, we must first set our minds in the right prospective. In setting and settling our views, we are taking Directions to arrive at a goal. Each and every person here at RHS has made his contribution to the mood of the halls. Whether or not you consider yourself an important person you also fill your niche here at RHS. In enclosing all the people in a single mood the mood must be flexible and pliable, you must be consistent in your thinking. You must include apathy as well as concern. You must include the lazy as well as the hard working. You must include love as well as hate... In all fairness to the students and faculty, Rustburg’s 1974-75 year was a year of enthusiasm, and getting involved. The students met the competition with optimism and fought for the cause of their class. To some the whole idea seemed stupid, but yet the involved conquered, once again, the apathetic and won the fight over boredom. The students at RHS took to the fight and took the proper directions to remove the unspirited mood sometimes related to Rustburg. Students got involved more in 1974-75. Change was accepted instead of belittled. With the changing world around us and the struggles that confront students at RHS, directions were taken to overcome with the experience of knowledge . ..
