Evaluators (right) descended on the school in November, causing everyone to join together and pitch in to gain accreditation. 2 Opening Wow! What a difference! The time was right. People noticed a big change The from the very beginning. Of course, they couldn’t miss it. The ( change was people. All of a sudden, the yea halls that had been crowded before were mobbed. The lunch lines were brought staggering. And a schoolwide assembly — nearly impossible. many The entire school population neared 1100, the biggest ever. And in that growth came the realization that it was needed P possible to have both quantity and quality at the same time. H b The equipment was better and more ta nol Ie advanced. And although the facilities were the same, plans were underway chang oS , to switch the school to the middle school site. Everyone was excited by prospects of a new high school. and The clubs did their part, setting new records for involvement. And the mors teams! They were overwhelming — especially the girls, who came intotheir own. It seemed like everyone wanted im port @) nt- to be a part of the movement to make Rustburg High School a name to be i remembered. Yass The Bicentennial was a change that everyone quickly tired of; commercialization obscured its true meaning. Opening 3 ee | The changes that really count- ed, though, were the ones that couldn’t be seen. It seemed as if the whole mood of the school had changed. Football started it all off. Every- body was so intent on RHS being 1 in football that it carried over into everything else. For so many years, Rustburg had been a good school, but never the best. Now that was going to change. The first real sign was at Home- coming. For the past few years, a kind of “it’s too much work for nothing” attitude had developed. The few floats that had shown up 4 Opening only be felt. were hastily thrown together and looked it. But suddenly, tissue paper flowers made a comeback and Homecoming '75 really was memor- able. Evaluation helped, too. The entire school was forced to sit back and look at itself through objective eyes. Some of the sights weren’t too pleas- ing. Instead of complaining, ‘This school is so gross!’’, people got out and did something about it. Commemorating the Thanksgiving holiday, Susan Dawson and Sherry Childress were a part of the Tri-Hi-Y’s effort to make the school more attractive. sie om eA LLL ITT Bog Holidays were nice, too. Always som g that cou Id before, Thanksgiving and Christmas were just reasons for a vacation. This year decorations went up all over the place. If you listened closely, you might have heard the faint strains of Christmas carols. Taken as a whole, the year was different, and happily so. Of course, every effort has its limitations and shortcomings, and this one did, too. But the most important thing by far was that the effort was made. 1975-76 at RHS was definitely a change for the better. About time. Decorations on every door at Christmas time brought the spirit of good will to everyone, while giving the art classes the chance to display their talents. “Winning fever” was widespread throughout the school year, in everything from sports to sa les. Vicki Clinedinst was top salesperson in the maga- zine drive. Opening 5 JTUDENT LIFE Student life starts in the morning, with everybody hanging out in the halls, talk- ing, fooling around, going to meetings — just being together. It’s interrupted for a while when the bells ring for classes. It continues with people catching up on things they missed, or making plans so they won’t miss anything. At lunchtime, people come together to do many very important things, and some things that aren’t so important (eating, for example). The three o’clock bell brings a mad rush out of classes and into the biggest part of student life. After school is out, people can carry out the plans they made all day. Dates, club activities, games, concerts — they’re all a part of it. And the many special events that go on during school time count, too. Special assemblies, current events, controversial issues — they all keep the students totally alive. Student life is many things. It’s the hottest hit at the movie theater, the latest song, the top group, the most talked- about subject, the big game — it’s even the weather. Most important, student life is for stu- dents. It’s whatever they want to make it. Within these pages is proof that RHS stu- dents really live: the 1975-76 signs of the times. 6 Student Life iia f the times Signs o ie Student Life 7 now I'll g@ mean we have to an an ML Taye ae he Opening of School : fa BS TI o Anna, 7, “ ; ‘ f o 5 ogee } a ry} y) - - - ZOU NO FOIE, VWIENT GEAIC CVE DE 77 GITCY SCOUIPIKES TCAbL {. sy, j y J 5 C Wd dH noue | is. fi e =) Cc ara A “Y) LP Pg ON es hh —— ; f béeS DVS 7 SOPE MIE OMIM EK GOES Dy SI0G Y TL CHS GOO TIE CIO of tie ; r 4 L CLA.

Straining to catch a miniature Red Devil football, students show Homecoming excite- ment in the afternoon pep rally. Watching other band members warm up before the pep rally is Leslie Henderson, whose trumpet is already in perfect tune. 10 Homecoming “A Past of Memories, A Future with Hope” THE PARADE. A few tons of tissue flowers. Antique cars. A lot of familiar faces. Tacos by the hundreds. A good senior float (about time). A thousand gallons of paint. A marching band. A mile and a half of chickenwire. Tractors and flat-beds miraculously converted into scenes from the past, the future, and the present. The excitement in a child’s face. The exhaustion of the hard-working volunteers (better known as human sacrifices). The smiles (‘Doesn't she look nice.’’) The worries (Oh, | hope it holds together!’’) The work (“Not more red flowers???”). The tradition Leading the way in the Homecoming parade, (Homecoming). just as they do during every halftime show, are THE GAME. “What a crowd!

Learning, and staying up late. Meeting new people, seeing new places. Having fun. Getting into mischief, rolling toilet paper on the trees. Most of all, seeing more in one summer than a lot of people see in years. Boys and Girls State. Leaving home, going to the unknown. Get- ting organized. Sitting hours ata time — listening. Meeting leaders who had something to teach us. Making friends — the kind that last. And marching — everywhere. Being too tired, and eating too much. Being glad to go home — yet being sad to leave. Selected to attend the 1975 Governor’s School for the Gifted were Debbie Farmer and Brian Kidd. Discussing the benefits of our government are Vicki Coates, Pam Mayberry and James Mason, Delegates to Boys and Girls State, along with Assistant Principal, Forest Jones. Special Summer 15 Despite the 0-0 tie, the Juniors are happy because “at least we didn’t lose to the Seniors!” Halftime is the time for the Seniors and Coach Luck to go over earlier mistakes and plot second half strategy. Sidelined with a knee injury, Debbie Miear (lower left) shows concern for the Senior team’s progress. “Which play are we going to do next?” Junior offensive starters Donna Turner and Mary Burleigh wonder. 16 Powder Puff Blocker Kim West paves the way for Margie Nilliams’ first-down run. After all, they’re ONLY girls (A male senior’s attitude toward Powder Puff football.) MONDAY. Girls play football? Hahaha, that’s always good for a laugh. You say juniors against seniors? Man, everybody knows us seniors are the greatest. We'll stomp ‘em. Thursday night, huh? OK, I'll pick you up about seven. TUESDAY. Hey, man, have you heard those girls talking about the Powder Puff game? It’s hysterical. Y’know, they’re actually practicing. And they’ve got plays. They take this stuff so serious. Us guys wouldn’t get excited about that. Oh, well, what can you expect, after all, they’re only girls. WEDNESDAY. Hey you junior punk — get off my back! Stop feeding me all that junk about juniors being so good. Ha! Everybody knows we’re gonna win. You little kids don’t stand a chance! Oh, yeah? Well, you just wait and see! THURSDAY NIGHT. Hey, let’s sit down there with the seniors. S-E-N-I-O-R-S!! Yea! Go, seniors, beat juniors. C’mon, Kaye. Go, Donna. Good hit, good hit! Holding, ref, holding! Hey, c’mon, ref, can’t you see? Are you blind? Get off the field and go see your eye doctor! This game is a real rip-off. LATER. Hahaha, those girls sure looked funny out there. Girls playing football — heeheehee. They couldn’t even score. 0-0. So what? Who, me? Nah, | didn’t care. | was just there, man. Imagine those girls getting so worked up about it. Well, you gotta excuse them, afterall...

Let’s get a pizza.”’ “Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn?”’ “Let's try Sal’s” “Yeah, | heard all the guys were gonna be there it’s my turn to get anchovies.” ‘Hey, let’s just skip the food for now. Did you hear everybody talking about the big marathon skate at Skateland?”’ “Yeah, but | don’t want to wear my legs out.” “Well, ok, how about the bowling alley?”’ “Last time | bowled a 52. What's play- ing at the Boonsboro?” “I think it’s a Disney on No. | and a skin flick on No. II.” “Great. What do you say we watch TVS “Hey, it’s 11:30 p.m. already!” “I'd better go. See ya next Saturday.” Nea Good food and a pleasant atmosphere con- tribute to the fun as Cheryl Eagle and Karen Phelps enjoy themselves at Pizza Inn. . Many students find the bowling alley a nice place to spend extra time and money. 18 Hangouts Skateland serves as a meeting place for many students. Nora Wagurak and Danny Polland take time out from Skating to enjoy a Pepsi. When the three o'clock bel! rings, many RHS students gather at the DQ for an after-school snack. The president of the SCA has the difficult job of trying to keep everyone happy, but Debra Ferguson makes North Johnson’s task a little easier. The award-winning 1975 Owl” brought praise and recognition to the yearbook staff, but Julie Raasch vows to new members Ann Jennings, David Rakes, and Ray Miear that “we'll do even better this year!”” Relationships can take on many different characteristics. Judy Coles and Eddie Woodson just enjoy talking over the day’s happenings. On the average, everything’s pretty cool We're all stuck here for a few years, so we might as well get along, right? What’s the use in having constant wars between male and female, black and white, teachers and students, juniors and seniors, etc.? It just causes trouble and bad feelings and keeps things stirred up. Not that they shouldn’t get stirred up once ina while. If there was never any trouble, this place would 20 Relationships be just too boring. So every so often there’s a flare-up — whether it just happened or was made to happen — and then things quiet down till the next time. At important times, everybody is really together — like for Home- coming, the big football game, the basketball tournament. Then you can count on people to be there and to care and to work. Other times, it’s impossible even to drag people around. But having excitement all the time would make it boring, too. So despite all the gripes and complaints, most students eventually agree that Rustburg is a pretty good place to be. Sure, we want to move on and up and out, but that can wait. Right now, we’re here, we’re together, and basically, we’re happy. Even when they are working hard, Irvin James and Kaye Franklin can take time out for a laugh. The halls are the places where people come together to work, to play around, to get things done, or to just hang out, like Celia Jones, Terry Brizendene, and Ted Arthur. Friendships, whether deep and lasting or just casual, form the basis for life at Rustburg. Steve Frazier and Tony Franklin talk about acommon interest — photography.

Gig per Checking in isn’t a problem if you have a good reason. Judy Mason trades Mr. Jones an excuse for a late slip. A collection of hall passes (below, right) reflects the personalities of the teachers who use them. There’s a flask for Mr. Reichard, a bunny for Mr. Martin, and a carrot for “Carrot Top”, Mrs. Davis. Hall passes can take on unusual characteristics. Brian Carwile bears the burden of Mr. Potter’s permit. 24 Rules Regulations Protecting himself with a wooden hall pass, Kevin Wilmouth (bottom) ventures out of class. In an attempt to stop a violator of the hall code, Jeff Franklin mans his post as a hall monitor. Law and order rule at RHS “Big rule crackdown.” Rules weren’t really changed. Enforcement became the new issue. “Young man, do you have a hall pass?’ A what? Gee, nobody carries a hall pass, for gosh sakes. Now you do, or else. Who wants to write 500 sentences: “I will not go into the halls without a hall pass.” Hall Monitors. ‘“Aw, come on, Floyd, | just want to go to my locker.”” Calm Crowded halls present a problem for students who have only a limited amount of time to get to class. halls — well, calmer halls — fora change. Discipline — a dirty word. Boo, that’s no fun. Why can’t we run around the halls? Why can’t we play touch football on the front yard? After all, it’s not hurting anybody. The teachers don’t want quiet classes, anyway. Gosh, it’s getting so bad, one of these days we might even have to learn something. Sometimes the office rush can be over- whelming. Rules Regulations 25 ema It’s not all work, you know. School, a ‘Z that is.

With a combination of the latest fashions in clothes and jewelry, Sharon “Princess’” Now- lin displays a style of her own. Catching everyone’s eye with a stunning 20’s style, Sheila Beasley proves that dresses do still exist. “High-steppers” displayed by Michael Payne are only one of the many different shoe styles seen at RHS.

Last- minute bids from the Citizens’ - Committee to Oppose Annexation (CCOA) and other individuals to the _U.S. Supreme Court were quashed. _ The main argument against the im- plementation of the annexation order was the insensitivity of the courts to the people’s wishes. Bitter opposition to the changeover is still being expressed throughout the city and the county. a 30 Annexation — If redistricting takes effect next year, Mr. Pen- dleton will have considerably less students to look out after.

Risking their lives each time the volunteer fire department gets a call. Sacrific- ing sleep and comfort. Standing duty with the rescue squad. Every RHS student adds something special to the school. A few add an extra something to the community itself. The village and the school are so close, it’s hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins. Without the 1,100 people that come in and out five days a week, nine months a year, the village would be lacking. And without those special students who make a big contribu- tion to the life and well-being of the community, Rustburg would be in trouble.

Stunned by what is in the hallway, Mark Roberts gazes in disbelief at the remains from the ceiling after a water pipe bursts. 38 School Improvements _ Systematic improvement program set in 75-76 Evaluation, accreditation and renovation are words that became common at RHS ain, 1975-76. For the past two years, Rustburg High - School has undergone a program of self- analysis and improvement in order to gain accreditation by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges. Evaluators from throughout the state entered the school in mid-November to examine facilities, personnel, curriculum, etc. for themselves. Their report con- firmed RHS to be worthy of accreditation. The final phase of the evaluation process is a systematic correction and improve- ment in the coming years. A major gain will have been made around 1978, when construction and reno- vation to switch the present high and middle school sites will be close to com- pletion. The “new” high school will be a facility to house between 1,200 and 1,500 students.

Of course, the goal is to beat the oppo- nents — to run faster, jump higher, play harder than they. If a team or a player can do all that, victory should be theirs. But Time cannot be overlooked. How many teams have taken the opponent by storm, displaying superiority at all levels, only to be beaten in the end because they did not pay Time the proper respect? For time is tricky. It can take a quiet seat in the stands until the players and their fans have completely forgotten about it, only to pop up and, by its very appearance, change the whole outcome of the contest. But Time is fair. It does not play favo- rites. In the end, the winners are those who recognize Time, respect it, and make it their friend. With luck, the clock can be beaten. Yes, Time can be a loving friend or a deadly enemy. Regardless of their oppo- nents, the players must pit themselves first against the clock. The stopwatch is the most valuable player in sports such as track where the participants set out to be at the clock. just as Attention is usually focused on the action in team sports, but at times the clock is a team’s worst et if opponent. ——= oy Sports 41 The Governors never had a chance as the scoreboard points out late in the game.

From the beginning, there was a special feeling in the air. ‘We can take it all this year,” they said. Pre-season newspaper write-ups had a new twist: Rustburg was ‘‘the team to beat.” It was strange, being a winner before the season even started. | September 5 arrived. The stands were packed, as usual. Many who came expecting a tough game were disappointed, as the Devils romped over Amherst. Through the next few games, Rustburg continued to win over ‘‘tough” teams that turned out to be not-so-tough after all. “Burn the Bees, burn the Bees!”’ aUat-Kolarlajasrearer-tomdalceley-4arolviatats stands all night, as the Devils defeated Brookville at Rustburg for the first time at home. Last year’s heartbreaking loss to the razzle-dazzle J-Forest Cavaliers was avenged, too. But all good things, as they say, must come to an end. The winning streak did, at Home- coming (see pages 12 and 13). But the Devils were to rise again!

But the team simplified matters by winning, in their best effort of the best season ever. For the first time ever, RHS fans could say ‘‘We’re Number One!” not as a cheer, but as a fact. All the Defenders fall right and left in an unsuccessful effort to china “Big Bo’’ — number 39, David Bohon. if years of faithful support for teams that never came close, or that a-l-m-o-s-t, but not quite made it, were rewarded. “We're Number One.” At last, there was no need to scream it out defiantly.

All of the JV games were close. Even in the losing efforts there was a bit of excitement for the Baby Devils. And each win gave the players and the fans something to talk about. At first the offense was, to say the least, slightly inconsistent. The big problem was timing, but even so the first two games were won with little trouble. ; The big trouble started with the third game — Nelson — and continued with the fourth — arch-rival Brookville. But there the trouble ended for the little Devils, as they finished out the rest of the season winning. Except for Appomattox. In all the excitement from the volleyball tourney and the upcoming face-off in the varsity game, the JV’s felt neglected. But after fighting back froma 12-0 deficit and finally tying, 18-18, everybody suddenly remem- bered them. Football at Rustburg was something in 1975, all right. And the JV team sure helped.

Basketball countdown The girls come into their own at last Basketball 75-76 was more exciting than ever. Of all the three teams, it was the girls who led the way, finishing the season with the best basketball record. While the boys and JV’s were still trying to get untracked in the early season, the girls started off hot. One by one they defeated their opponents, some handily, others with difficulty. But for them and everyone else, they were just counting time, waiting for their showdown at Appomattox. Both teams entered the game with their undefeated records at stake. But for the Devilettes, especially, it was a matter of pride. Maryjane Smith, the Raiderettes’ all-district center for three years running, was the main target. The game started off sluggishly and never really gained momentum. Down by asmall margin at halftime, the Devilettes wanted to come on strong after the intermission. But things just weren’t going their way. Missing a last-second oppor- tunity to score and tie, they lost by two precious points. Despite the tears of frustration and disappoint- ment, they never thought of giving up. The season wore on. They gained three more wins and were brought up short by a surprising Liberty team. In agame no one could describe as their best, they fell to the Min- ettes by one. But it hardly seemed a fair fight; fans believed RHS to have been “ripped off’ by the referees.

Unselfish Debbie Miear would rather pass the ball than shoot it. She makes good use of a scoring opportunity as she converts a free throw against Jefferson-Forest. Basketball countdown Close games mark winning season A good team, to remain good, must learn to overcome all obstacles, even the poor officiating that was obvious in nearly all girls’ contests. So they set to work again — Appomattox was right around the corner. By this time the Raiderettes had been de- feated by a rapidly-improving Liberty team. The Devilettes were ready to take over first place. On game day the team spent the afternoon together, watching past game films and eating a delicious steak dinner. “If we don’t beat them now, we never will,” one player said. But it was not to be. In a home court loss more heartbreaking than the first, the Devilettes went down by three. The season ended dramatically with a game against Amherst which would, like the boys’ game, decide second place. After a slow start, RHS bounced back and captured excellent seeding in the tournament. They began tournament week, well aware that, come finals night, it could very well be RHS vs. Appomattox in their third and most impor- tant face-off ever. The bench holds a combination of expert advice, willing help, and faithful support.

The helplessness of having to sit on the side- lines and look on as his team struggles shows in Coach Haywood McCrickard’s face. Basketball countdown Fantastic JV 60 JV Basketball Amherst County seemed determined to steal Rustburg’s district ranks at every turn in the basketball season. Not only did the boys’ and girls’ teams have to battle the Lancers for second place, the JV team had to face the pressure of possibly losing the championship. The JV season began on a note of, at best, underconfidence. With only one returning starter from 1975’s champion- ship team and no other players with any significant experience, the best they or anyone else could seem to hope for was a break-even season. Early games seemed to confirm that belief. The Imps were just too inex- perienced to be winners. They lost three early games by large margins, and had to struggle to win others. Then, suddenly, everything turned around, as the Baby Devils put it all together and made a winning streak 13 games long. The January 29 Brookville game was a big one. Pulling that one off, RHS seemed to have 1 almost locked up. But the Gretna JV’s had no intentions of being merely a stepping stone in someone else’s quest for the crown, as they brought the Devils to their knees in alate-season 15-point defeat. With that, it all depended on the Amherst game. A win would mean sharing the title with the Lancers; a loss, second best. The Devils showed who was really 1, running Amherst off the floor. So the regular season ended with one first and two seconds. Not bad at all. But in Rustburg basketball, the last game was more important and ex- citing than the first. As the basketball countdown wound down, RHS came up high. Released from the team room, Bobby Tweedy brings the team out to face Brookville. The buzzer sounds, signaling the end of the first half, as Coach McCrickard heads his team into the team room. JV Basketball 61 Not just a few rah-rah ’s A Rustburg Varsity Football Cheerleader’s job is often as strenuous and time-consuming as that of the athletes she cheers for. Long hours of hard practice go into the polished performances seen on the field. But the time the cheerleaders spend actually cheering is only a small percentage of the time they put in. They all spend endless hours fixing food for the team, decorating, making signs, and just doing nice things like preparing a get-together for the guys and their parents after a game. To get money to carry out their plans, the cheerleaders go through a lot of trouble and aggravation. When the traditional money-making methods (car washes and bake sales) fail, they submit themselves to an ordeal known as “silence day.” In short, our cheerleaders aren't ordinary. They’re very special. Day after day they disprove all the bad old myths about cheerleaders by proving themselves to be real, live human beings who care about the team, the students, and the school. Beauties (Suzette Spradlin and Terrie Roaten- berry) and the Beast (Margie Williams) combine in an interesting trio. 62 Varsity Cheerleading “Stand Up and Holler.” Chery! Kay and Mary Sue Bailey try to ignite the student body in a late afternoon pep rally. Casting evil spells over opposing teams is but one of the chores gladly taken on by Chief Devil Margie Williams and John Goff, her young assistant. Watching at Homecoming as the Devils strive for more yardage, the faithful cheerleaders prepare another yell to urge the team on. Varsity Cheerleading 63 JV cheerleaders had something to cheer about The eagerness and excitement of cheering for the first time in high school meant a lot to the girls who were JV cheerleaders in the 75-76 year. Add to that the bonus of having good teams, and that makes the sea- son extra special. The JV football cheerleaders went out of their way to support their team. They were young, and they were friends, and everything seemed to be going their way. More people than ever before came to the games to watch the guys play. It was nice to have people to cheer with. The JV basketball cheerleaders, of course, had the fun and excitement that go hand in hand with any championship team. The squad was eventually reduced to five girls, but instead of decreasing their spirit, it only seemed to make them cheer harder. The tension of a tight game shows on the faces of Cynthia Ore, Veronica Herndon and Cynthia Randolph as they watch the Baby Devils pull this one out. Cheerleaders Claressa Johnson and Veronica Herndon, do a stunt that brings the crowd to their feet. 64 JV Cheerleading During halftime of aJV game, Anne Cardwell and Kim Bennett concentrate on the next cheer.

Experience and talent were two important words in the RHS track vocabulary. Superstar sophomore Mauri And- erson consistently scored between 20-30 points per meet. Participating in the short dashes, the long jump, and the triple jump, he holds a great amount of promise for future track teams. Senior co-captains Jim Lee and Gordon Dawson broke high jump and 2-mile records left and right. The team enjoyed a strong early-season perfor- mance, but faltered in late district meets. The final outcome was a sixth place district finish, but that wasn’t the whole story. The great improvement and fine showings by the team told more than the standings could ever tell. Practicing for the Regionals, Pat Riley and Gordon Dawson try to improve their times in distance. Waiting for the moment when he hears the gun, Steve Frazier is tense as he tries to get a good start. Breaking to the inside to gain good position, Jim Lee runs the anchor leg for RHS. The girls run as hard as the boys in this meet, with Lisa Dehart leading the way. Track 69 Hitting is just one of the many things Kaye Mitchell does in softball. 70 Spring Sports Concentration is all that’s on Gordon Dawson's mind as he prepares himself for the next event. Racing against time, John Hamler and Kent Roberts time themselves in boys’ outdoor track. Spring sports deserve much more attention Late winter brought the sounds of balls hitting into gloves and off bats, tennis rackets swinging, golf balls dropping into holes, and runners panting as they all practiced in hopes of keeping Rustburg’s 75-76 sports records impressive. One of the disadvantages that comes from having a yearbook put out in May is that the last deadline is in February. Consequently, sports coverage cannot extend to such im- portant events as the basketball tour- nament, and can’t cover spring sports at all. But all early season reports have been good. The February weather was surprisingly warm so teams have gotten a jump on practice time. The baseball team, under new Coach Robert Miller, is anticipating their best season ever. They’ve got experience, strength, and enough talent to get them through the tough season. Still a relatively new sport at RHS, tennis, in its second year, is hoping for a good season, as are the golf and softball teams. And outdoor track will have most of its indoor personnel as well as quite a few extras. The year 1975-76 was a big one for sports at RHS. And every team helped make it that way. Girls’ track is another addition to the sports program at RHS. Coach Sam Martin gives instructions to Vickie Owens and Chris Long as Jim Lee and Leland Gibson look on skeptically. Spring Sports 71 CLASSES CLUBS frequent. NH! Classes and clubs are a big part of life at dent Debbie Miear Rustburg. Everyone has to go to classes, ee sie: the meeting to_ « tT - aS A and nearly everyone belongs to at least “ one club. The majority of time students spend in school is spent in various classes. Since the main function of any school is to in- struct, this is as it should be. But there are other lessons to be learned at school that cannot be taught in a classroom. Cooperation, for example. Working together for a purpose. Moving with others toward a common goal. Getting things accomplished for personal benefit or to benefit others. These are the greatest values of organizations. Often classes and clubs go hand in hand with and exist dependent upon each other. Some clubs are independent, using the school only as a basis for organization. And still other classes most people would prefer to leave in school. But for the most part, academics and organizations at RHS are a well-integrated group. A well-run class or club is like a clock. Each separate part is different and distinct. Each performs a special function. But together they make a finely-tuned instru- ment. Apart, they are useless. That’s how clubs and classes should operate — like clockwork. 72 Classes Clubs like clockwork “ A typical classroom finds most students absorbed in their assignments, and a few who finish early. Classes Clubs 73 SCA combines usual projects, different goals Homecoming, assemblies, dances, the Spring Carnival — most student diversion and entertainment has long been the responsibility of the SCA. The principles of the SCA are basically the same as those of our government: to provide everyone with the opportunity to speak and be heard through elected officials. But recently this school-wide organiza- tion has come under fire for its supposed apathy, ineffectiv eness, and lack of true representation. No drastic changes in the SCA have come about in recent years; however, 1975-76 saw a noticable difference in the meetings. Always before the meetings had been set up to discuss business, make plans, form committees, and hear reports. But in the first gathering of offi- cers, representatives, and class presi- dents in September, topics were in- troduced concerning student-faculty relations, the lack of influence of students, the dismissal of student desires by the administration. The accomplishments of the ’76 SCA were many and typical: a well- above-average Homecoming, more assemblies, better dances, etc. One unique aspect o f the organization was the taking of the first step toward establishing effective com- munications between students, fac- ulty, and administration. Whether that first step leads to future ad- vances, only time will tell. SCA meetings are always interesting to attend because there is always a difference of opin- ion and varied ideas, but there are always compromises in the end to come up with the best solution possible. Secretary of the SCA, Anne Mason, calls roll at a meeting while Sherrill Brooks listens intently, waiting for her name to be called. 74 SCA Astonished and lost for words, Brian Kidd doesn’t know how to reply to North Johnson’s idea for the next school assembly.

Past experience had proved that most seniors considered govern- ment a necessary evil: necessary, because it was required; evil, be- cause it was so dry. Except for the yeaa trip to court, the class stirred ittle excitement among seniors. Excitement was still lacking in ’76, but variety proved a useful substi- tute. The thought of four mini- courses seemed infinitely more in- teresti ng than a year with AMERI- CAN POLITICAL BEHAVIOR, the textbook. Other social studies courses, both required and elective, include soci- cosy; economics, U.S. History, world history, and geography. Mr. Sam Martin, as always, added a dif- ferent twist to the juniors’ American history. The Bicentennial year made the study of our country’s history more meaningful for many, as 11th- graders learned for themselves what actually did happen “200 Years Ago Today.” PRE Concerned only with their discussion about politics, Kathy Little, Donna Peak, Tammy Irby and Eddie Hall have no time to converse with anyon e else. “Sometimes it’s difficult to believe people really did all the things they did years ago,” remarks Wanda Steele to Vicki Gaddy and Carol Shields in history class.

These are groups that stand for excellence, and they back up their words with action. A youth-oriented branch of the YMCA, the Coed-Hi-Y’s every activ- ity helps themselves by helping others. They willingly spend their time getting sore feet (on the CROP walk for the hungry), giving awa food (White Christmas), and build- ing better government (by their par- ticipation in the annual Virginia State Model General Assembly). The only school organization that gets its members by selection, the Rustburg Prometheus Chapter of the National Honor Society recognizes those students who have proven themselves outstanding in scholar- ship, leadership, character, and or service. Service to the school is the main goal of the NHS. Spirit was never so high as when the spirit chain went up for the Appomattox football game. The tapping ceremony in late September encouraged underclass- men to strive for qualities neces- sary for membership. A local game show, ‘‘Purely Academic,” spon- sored by NHS, gave four students the chance to compete for scholar- ships to Lynchburg College. The NHS tapping ceremony was a success as Cindy Hirtz welcomes Sylvia Carson into the club with asmile and a “blue ribbon.” 78 Coed-Hi-Y Everyone enjoys himself at the reception held after the formalities that recognized deserv- ing students. “Service,” says Debbie Farmer, “is perhaps the most practical of the four qualifications needed for membership in the NHS.” The induction ceremony ended very appro- priately with a new version of the popular song “Pass It On.” National Honor Society 79 Innovative English leaves room for experimentation Excitement in Mrs. Carolyn Bushong’s English class: “No school today?” “Just where did you hear that piece of news?” ‘Oh, | knew it was too good to be true.” se : Tragedy, the American Imagina- tion, man and woman, nostalgia, prejudice and loyalties, man in search of his personal identity, man in conflict, the humanities — these are but a smattering of the stimu- lating quarter-courses available in the English Department for 11th- and 12th-grade students. Geared toward the development of the individual, the quarter system has met with great success since its inception four years ago. It provides not only a wide variety of subjects, but also many courses on each of the three major levels. Basic classes for the remedial or in- different students are designed to teach the fundamentals in an exciting way. As well as pro- viding for the “average” student, this comprehensive program issues a challenge to the advanced students with subjects to stimulate the intel- lect. So successful has this system of English been that it was applied to the government classes this year. Plans are now being completed for its expansion to cover the entire curriculum in the near future.

English 81 Playing those mind games to win Forensics and debate are probably the two most ignored activities at RHS. Very few people could answer a ques- tion about them. Fewer would ask. Although forensics and debate are not nearly as physical as football and basketball, they are competition just as exciting — competition between minds. Due to the hard work of a small group of people, forensics has made a comeback. Last year the team won the district championship (the only varsity team to do so) and sent two people to state competition. The ’76 team fin- 82 Drama-Forensics ished a close third. Logic and cool-headedness are two vital qualities of a good debater. De- bating requires extensive research and preparation, a talent for expressing oneself clearly, and an ability to think quickly. One must also have an instinct, developed by training, for finding and exploiting an opponent’s weaknesses. Drama reappeared on the scene after a five-year leave of absence. The newly- formed drama club made ambitious plans for a Christmas program, a one- act play (for competition), and a senior play and or a spring musical. Taking time for a pepsi before the District Forensics Meet, Cindy Hirtz tries to calm the butterflies suddenly “fluttering” about in her stomach. After a nerve racking forensics meet, Keith Little attempts to re-assure Alan Raasch, Donna Keesee, and Cindy Hirtz by telling them of an amusing incident which occur- red during the competition. The drama club relaxes after its Christmas assembly production of ‘A Christmas Carol.” H ; ' : i LEP REE LTECE Before a drama meeting, Donna Keesee and Randy James demonstrate their humor and dramatic talent.

The door leading to annual staff hides the hard work, dedication, and the many long hours spent working on the OWL. 84 Annual As editor of the yearbook, Debbie Farmer puts in a lot of overtime working to make sure everything is running smoothly, and as her reward all she gets in return is the nick- name “Miss Editor’ pinned on her. Hours of hard work by staffs pay off in the end Students interested in English beyond nouns and verbs, art beyond oils and acrylics, typing beyond “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country,” and hard work far beyond just taking notes, find their place on publica- tion staffs. The group responsible for “The Devil’s Advocate,”’ the RHS news magazine, started the year with no experience whatsoever. They were a rookie staff, but being new meant new ideas and fresh outlooks. They found out that determination pays when their first issue sold out — for the first time ever. But they also saw the other side of the coin as they realized what missing a deadline meant. The staff of the 1976 OWL, the school yearbook, had a tough act to follow. The ‘75 book won the. highest award given by the Virginia High School League, Trophy, and was ranked among the top fifteen entrants. , Soon they were able to put the past behind them and concentrate on the present, making the’76 volume the biggest and — in their opinion — the best ever. Always in need of a news article to appear in “The Devil’s Advocate” Jeff Franklin and Tommy Garner may have come up witha solution to their problem. Members of the newspaper staff Keith Little and Donna Keesee discuss a possible idea for the next edition of ‘The Devil’s Advocate.” Editor of the newspaper, Sally Metcalf, dis- cusses with Mr. Bill Skinner, their sponsor, which article would be the most interesting to publish in their next edition of their paper.

Foreign Language 87 Art is for everybody Pencils, pastels, and paint don’t give the whole view of art at RHS. Beginning art classes try to introduce - the willing student to the many tex- tures, tools, and techniques. Projects and assignments range from egg-shell mosaics and tin can art to oil portraits and clay sculp- ture. Students study famous artists, periods, and styles in an effort to gain a respect for and appreciation of the world of art. In keeping with this philosophy, the Art Club invites anyone with an interest in art to join, whether or not they take an art class. The club’s activities include a perennial first place prize for a Homecoming float, a booth in the Spring Carnival, a display at Achi- evement Night, and entrances in local art shows. Their most ambitious project by far is the Spring Art Exhibit. In May of each year the gym is magically transformed into an art gallery. Any student is welcome to display his work, while a few superior artists are invited to set up one-man shows. The art classes and club add a bit of culture to life at RHS. Third year art student Chris Long works on ‘one of many pictures as she starts preparing early for her one-man show. 88 Art Totally involved in her work, Kathy Keesee is unaware of her surroundings and what is going on in the rest of her art class.

Pom-Pon girls Celia Goff, Patsye Hall, Ginger Ore, and Suzanne Mason contribute a lot to the morale of the band as they perform.

Wi; So deck EA MAIN ST: eee Drummers Paula Coates and Phil Riddle set the pace for the band as they enthusiastically beat to the time of the music.

Giving serious thought to his music and his French horn is Ramsey Shelton as he tries to decide what tune to play next. Not quite “76 trombones,” but a plus in ’76! If music truly makes the world go ‘round, then the band and chorus keep RHS whirling. The band performed at all the foot- ball games, and some of the basket- ball contests, all of the pep rallies, and several assemblies. They marched in many Christmas parades plus the Vin- ton Dogwood Festival, and the Rust- burg Homecoming and Fourth of July parades. The band and the concert together presented a Christmas Con- cert, and the band a Spring Concert and selections at the Honors assembly. The RHS band also went to Band Day at U.Va., all-regional band, and gave concerts at area elementary and middle schools. And last, but not least, the band played a farewell to the class of ‘76’ — at graduation. Band 91 Modern technology leads the way Scalpels, white coats, stethoscopes, EKG’s, bunsen burners, and chemicals. A research laboratory? No, it’s the Sci- ence Department at RHS. Offering earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced prob- lems in the sciences, this department is among the most compact and capable in the school. Students with interests in the scientific have room to explore and develop their talents. Others who just want a good college preparatory background can find it also. A particular source of pride for the science department is the weather sta- tion. RHS is the only school in Vir- ginia with facilities for weather reading and prediction. Every morning a trained group of weather-observing students make the perilous journey through the second- story window to take the weather read- ings. Then they return, compile data, and make the day’s forecast which is put on the morning announcements and taped for the viewbox in the hall. Trying to come up with a substitute for gas, in this time of conservation, are Kent Roberts and Terry Jefferson as they add a little of this and alittle of that.

Programs and courses for all types of students with all kinds of future can be found at RHS. The eager 8th- graders who start high school aca- demics early by taking Algebra | have the opportunity of taking a 5-year program that includes geometry, Al- gebra II, advanced math, and intro- ductory analysis, thus preparing them- selves excellently for college. Other students who plan to enter the business world or the home soon after graduation find a place for them- selves, too. Those who will find them- selves facing checking accounts and mortgages get a tremendous benefit from practical math courses. Taking the easy way out are Cliff Tweedy and Terry Jefferson as they use calculators instead of putting excess strain on their brains. Johnny McCoy couldn’t wait to tell Val Buck about what just happened in his algebra class. Concentrating only on Mr. Jerry Dodgion’s math class, these students have no interest in what's going on around them. only Mathematics 95 Taking time out from her busy schedule as a business teacher, Mrs. Nancy Gregory also doubles as the yearbook bookkeeper. Concentration is the key to a good typist as Fonda Nester skillfully types up a lesson from her book. Students learn how to type and take short- hand in steno class, and then put it all together to make a good secretary. For a change of pace, Mr. Ronald Earnest tells an amusing story to his DE class as Penny Little and Kenneth Austin listen in. 96 Business Business classes, clubs ready students for world When the tap, tap, tapping of dozens of typewriters hits your ears, you know the business department is just around the corner. But typing isn’t the only necessity for a trip into the business world. Secretaries need shorthand, accountants need book- keeping, excecutives need business law. The student who needs typing for his term papers is just as welcome in business as the one who plans to make his career in a business-related field. But for career- oriented students, RHS holds great op- portunities. The club organized for the express purpose of these students, the Future Bus- iness Leaders of American (FBLA), travels to state competitions each year to learn how they rate with other business stu- dents, plus they sponsor many money- making events. DECA, or Distributive Education Clubs of America, goes one step further by actually placing students in part-time jobs while giving them practical business in- struction in areas such as public speaking, marketing, distribution, and merchandis- ing. The time spent on the job earns the students money in addition to two credits towards their graduation. Wie iia : i t age A popular place to “hang-out” before school is the DE hole as shown here by Cindy Campbell and Gordon Harris. Working to inform everyone that it is FBLA week are Donna Hunter and Janice James as they prepare a display in the showcase. DECA FBLA 97 Bus drivers, office, library workers give time to others Some very hard jobs around RHS would be much harder if it weren’t for a hard-working group of volunteers who sacrifice their spare time to take on de- manding jobs. The office is, even on good days, al- ways busy. But on bad days, it’s impossible. Phone lines ringing, people in and out, emergencies, problems, late slips, excuses ... It’s this and more that the office workers take on every day during their free periods. With so much more available space in the new library complex, it holds a lot more people and even more books —which means more work. Library workers not only learn the Dewey decimal system, they have to keep books and magazines orderly, operate equipment, and be always ready to help others. Not exactly volunteers, because they do get paid for their hours on the job, student bus drivers find it was much easier to ride on a bus than it is to drive one. But they cheerfully handle the hours, the noise, and the responsibility as “just part of the job.” Making the most of her spare time as a library assistant, Cindy Taylor reads one of the library’s more interesting books. A faithful office worker, Ann Jennings continues to work even though the bell just rang for her next class. Keeping all the library books filed is a pretty big job, but Sam Cash seems to have everything under control. Early to rise and late getting home after school often-voiced complaints of student bus drivers, but as David Moran points out, it’s worth it when you get that paycheck. Lending a hand to Paula Coates in checking outa library book is one of our capable library assistants at work, Ed Gowen. Workers 99 Using a torch to melt down a bend, Mike Webb (above) surprises himself by really doing a pro- fessional job. Wondering where to cut the board next, Mark Childress (upper right) is finally able to put to good use all the skills he learned in the class- room. Give him an attentive audience and Mr. Bob Austin will lecture for hours. Randy Marquis, Keith Tweedy and Al DeHart are certainly in- terested in what Mr. Austin is saying. 100 Vocational Lice = i | | ua LER ' : SRO a URE A RMR | 30 Practical lessons preparation for life after school What could pots and pans, bricks, T-squares, drills, and plows have in common? They all belong in the broad category of vocational education. The emphasis put in recent years on a college education caused a slacken- ing of interest in practical careers. Now skilled workers are more in demand than ever before. To meet this need, Campbell County is constructing a vocational center planned to be ready soon. But voca- tional courses at RHS have attempted to fill that gap in the meantime. Bricklaying is a three-period, three- credit couse that is excellent job prep aration. Mechanical drawing can lead to careers in architecture, drafting, or engineering. Industrial arts, (or ““shop”’) trains people as machinists, mechanics, and more. Vocational agriculture teaches the intricacies of farming. And the range of careers in home economics, j from dietetics to ““domestic engineer- ww, ing’ (or homemaking), is expanding . every day. ceanvcscoaiie le Supervisors are still needed as shown by Eddie Ezzell as he looks over Al Dehart shoulder as he is welding during a welding exercise.

Making the most of the time she has, Nina Haskins rushes to finish her cake before the bell catches her. Specialized clubs offer fun, training beyond classroom Closely related, yet with differences, vocational classes and clubs hold a place at RHS. The classes provide basic instruction, the clubs offer ex- perience. With a history of great success in local, state, and even national competi- tion, the Future Farmers of America (FFA) fields teams in crops and dairy judging and teaches techniques of public speaking and parliamentary pro- cedure. That the homemaker is a vital force in society is the contention of the Future Homemakers of America (FHA). They, like the FFA, are a co-curricular group, which puts emphasis on the family unit as a stable and essential way Of life. The State Forestry Department trains young men, 15 years old and older to be capable forest fire fighters. Each spring they take training courses at Mead Lake, where they learn new and effective ways to Keep Virginia Green. FHA 103 Comprehensive view of “education” includes both mental and physical Walking down the halls during class- time, the resounding sounds of ca- dences can be heard echoing through the corridors. Peep inside the doors of the gym to see young men and women in the process of physical education. Dressing for gym and getting hot and sweaty is one aspect of the day many 9th- and 10th-graders would rather skip. But, recognizing the need for exercise and recreation, the state has made two high school years of PE mandatory. So each day freshmen, sophomores, and their instructors get into the fresh air, or the gym, for calisthenics, tram- poline, shuffleboard, plus the more 104 Physical Education traditional basketball, volleyball, and softball. But exercise isn’t the only part of phys. ed. Also included in the two-year program are courses in health and first aid and driver’s education. Fitness of both body and mind is the goal of the PE department. Going up for a lay-up, Butch Trent (right) amazes his teammate, Phillip Neighbors, by mak- ing it and putting them ahead by two. “Throw it to me—watch that man!” echoes through the gym as a boys P.E. class (below, left) enjoys an exciting game. “Where did everyone go?” wonders Alphonso Ferguson (below, right) as he looks around, hop- ing to get into a volleyball match. Co-ed gym classes are a first at RHS, but it seems to be going smoothly in this particular class (top). The trampoline is everyone’s favorite in gym class, as Ramona Wood, Vanessa Woodford, and Vanessa Morrison (above) demonstrate the technique. Waiting for the half-time rush, Miss Patricia Bell, Celia Jones, and Mrs. “Ma” Kelly (right) take a break, their last for a couple of hours. 105 Sports Clubs People. We’re young, old, tall, short, skinny, black, white, blonde, intelli- gent, funny serious, studious, happy- go-lucky, bored, active, involved, creative, contented, dissatisfied... In short, we’re everything we could possibly be. We have certain char- acteristics — both as groups and as individuals — that set us apart from everyone else everywhere. We’re unique. Nearly every face at Rustburg is in here, from the ‘Mighty Seniors” to the “Eager Eighth Graders” to the ‘Fearless Faculty.’’ And each is equally important. Each makes a contribution, whether great or small, that becomes part of RHS. This is the biggest section of the book, too — a whopping 30% — and that’s how it should be. After all, every- thing else is dependent on us. How could there be sports, or classes, or student life, or clubs without us? What could they put in the index if there were no names? We’re important, all right. Maybe we sound stuck-up, but we’re not — we’re just proud, boone we make this school what it is. So in the most important sense of all, this really is “our” school. Other places in the book tell what we do — this tells what we are. It spot- lights some of our friends who are special and deserve special attention, and it gives everyone else the chance to be seen and recognized as individuals and as a part of the whole. This school is ours, all right. And so is this book. Finally, in this section, we’re getting a little time for us. assailant, Kim Clark com: 106 People Crisp fall weather makes Sherri La between-classes hike enjoyable.

We can boast of ten very talented art students, seven of whom had one- man shows in last spring’s Art Exhibit. Art Club President Bobby Ward, exceptionally gifted in chip carving, has an extensive collection of pieces that demonstrate his skill. Vice-president James Mason's most unique and original work is his cartooning. He has written and illustrated several critically- acclaimed comic books. Never having a one-man show didn’t stop Jeff Robinson from walking away with ‘Best High School Entry” at the Greater Lynch- burg Art Exhibit in September. His watercolor of an old barn shows great ability and promise. Irvin James, Cathy Callahan, and Tim Childress all display talent that increases by the hour. Among them they have won more than a few prizes. Having one-woman shows last spring, Chris Long, Vickie Owens, and Donna Keesee contributed to the effort. Chris won a third-place plaque. But the winning display went to Duane Hall, whose work is totally unique. He relates to the abstract; his best works inspire the imagination.

We had jobs, colleges, — or homes and families waiting for us.

C. Carter Bryan Carwile Steve Carwile New year brings both fun and duty The Junior year of high school is a special year. It’s a year of expectation, a year of plans and promise, and a year of growing up. For the first time, we have more responsibilities and places of leadership in school activities. Suddenly we are “upperclassmen” instead of underclassmen. We also reach the threshold of the future. It is a time to start planning for college, thinking about careers, taking tests, saving money. But we also find that we have more privileges. We have our Ring Dance to plan. And during all the fun and excite- ment of this year, we find ourselves. changing and growing into maturity and into the world.

We started to work, and we were all sworn to secrecy. We must have fluffed a billion flowers, skipped class more times than we could count, worked late at night, and still had loads of fun and aggra- vation. proud when our class was represented by Mary Sue Bailey and Vickie Charlton. And even though our float didn’t win, Then the day was here. We were it was the best in our eyes. the years we spent at Rustburg. We'll remember all the fun and friends, and In the future, we’ll look back over we'll remember the bad times, too, only they won't look so bad anymore.

A great deal of time is spent picking and choosing so each ring is just right. To each of us our own ring is the most beautiful — no one else has one that’s as precious. One little ring makes all the difference in the world to a Junior. It separates us from all the underclassmen. With our ring comes a sweet sensation of pride in our class and in our school.

Whata thrill it was to hear ‘“Sopho- mores” when they announced the winner! And what a noise we made when we heard it! Suddenly, we had just as much to offer as all the upperclassmen put together. Displaying the high spirit of the Sophomore class while working on their float for Homecoming are Denise Bohon and Mary Thompson. Sophomore Class 143 From nightmares 144 Freshman Class to sweet dreams High school was a huge surprise to most of us. Lots of us expected the worst. We were haunted by graphic scenes of torture by teachers when we were late for class. We were sure that the upperclassmen would stomp us and raid our lockers daily. Our eighth grade teachers had terrified us with gloomy predictions of our swift academic failure in high school. ‘You’re really going to have to buckle down next year,” they said. ‘It’s so much harder up there.” But somehow, all those nightmares slowly faded into the background. We had our homework (not that hard!) and our activities that took more and more time. We had less time to think about being scared. Then, suddenly, the worries were gone. We belonged.

Two members of our class were honored at the football banquet. Kenneth Jones was named Best Offensive Player, and Greg Saunders was chosen Best Defensive Player. Betty Jackson started off hot on the girls’ basketball team, and kept it up all season. Sports is just as much a part of the life of a freshman as of any senior.

Oh, there’s nothing wrong with things down there, they’re just better here. The people are friendlier, there are lots more people to meet, we have more privileges, we’re treated more like adults, and even the teachers are a lot of fun. We feel welcome here. The students and teachers of RHS opened their arms to us, and we like it. This is our home. The mad rush at three o'clock iscommonto Freshman Class 153 schools everywhere.

When we y stop to think, it’s really amazing how we handle all the problems, com- @ we call it plaints, emergencies and crises that constantly come up. Plus, of course, a truce? our everyday routine. e To a lot of students, the big goal in our lives is to hassle them. Every time a stu- dent comes in late, leaves early, misbe- haves in class (or out), needs a pass or forgets a form, he or she has to deal with us. And it is alot of red tape to go through, sometimes. But what most stu- dents don’t think about is that we have the final responsibility for nearly 1100 people. All the little picky things we have to do (or make the students do) are done because, without them, it would be im- possible to keep every- thing straight. So we keep doing our jobs. We've figured out by now that most students think of us as “the enemy.” But since that will probably never change, we'll just go on trying to keep Rustburg High School running as smoothly — and as peacefully — as possible. Everything is running smoothly as Mr. Forest Jones, Assistant Principal, keeps a watchful eye over the students. Faculty 155 Active, concerned faculty do “get involved” Teachers. Every day we come to school, grab a cup of coffee, preside over homeroom, handle the paper- work, try to teach something to over a hundred students each day, straighten up the desks, go to the faculty meet - ings, and go home, right? Not hardly. Of course, those are our main jobs. But we handle lots of other tasks that aren’t in the 8:00-3:00, 9-month contract. Some we do because we wantto, others are forced on us, and still others just happen to come Our way. Every club needs a sponsor, and every sponsor is a teacher. There are very few of us who don’t help, in one way or another, with some activity or group around school. And many of us are so committed to various organi- 156 Faculty zations that we willingly give up much of our free time (the coaches, for example). Some of the necessary jobs that each of us is responsible for periodically are bus duty, cafeteria watch, selling and taking up tickets at sports contests, and chaperoning dances. And then, there are always happen- ings that are impossible to plan. Like when a student comes to us with a personal problem they can’t handle. We're always glad to listen. And, at times, we ourselves have to deal with serious situations. We're called “teachers,” but teach- ing is only one of the things we do. So that title may be misleading. We really prefer to be called “people”! t ‘ ; © 4 E ¥ pecs After teaching mechanical drawing at Rust- burg for two years, not even the unpredict- able surprises Mr. Bruce Biehl, except maybe Kenneth Austin.

And des- pite the complaints about the food, those cheerful ladies in the cafeteria provide a healthy, nourishing meal — 45¢ that couldn't be bought as cheaply anywhere else. Certainly teachers’ aides are a blessing. Without them, instructors would be drowning in a sea of time-consuming paper work and odd jobs. Each of these people contributes his or her part toward the successful running of the school. RHS would be helpless with- out them. Cafeteria workers are left to right: Mrs. Geraldine Kelly, Cafeteria Manager; Mrs. Nancy Kerr, Mrs. Audrey Charlton, and Mrs. Catherine Rosser. Custodians are from left to right: Mrs. Naomi Morgan, Mr. Fred Harris, and Mr. R. E. Tweedy, Custodian Manager. Faculty 163 We’re not little babies anymore! We’re really enjoying our last year at RMS. We shine in the glory of being “top dogs,” but that will abruptly change when we come to RHS next year. We are the future of Rustburg. We’re still be here, carrying on, after all the kids who tease us now about being “‘babies’”’ are long gone. Soon we'll inherit all the unfinished business, all the leftover dreams, and the burden of making Rust- burg a school to be proud of. With the plans for the school’s reno- vation and relocation from the present high school to the middle school site we now occupy, in a couple of years, we'll be coming “home” again. Now we’re having a lot of fun, and we hope that never ends, but soon we'll be ready to face all the problems and pleasures that growing up brings.

The facts are simple: the annual staff has to sell ads if they want an annual to staff. ; What very few people know is how much work goes into the ads. Getting people out to sell them is the first thing. Asking for money is not a pleasant job. The second thing: a lot of places don’t think a yearbook ad will do them much good. And with the economy as bad as it was this past summer, most places just didn’t have the money to sink into one. But we made it, thanks to the generosity of many kind businessmen and women. Then came the task of designing the pages. This year’s ads are the most attractive ever. Even more work goes into the ‘‘etc.”’ Here is the part of the book that requires the hardest, most tedious work and receives the least reward. The hours that it takes to identify all the people in the club pictures, for example, or to compile all the Senior Statistics, are innumerable. Yet those pages, though necessary, are too often ignored. And the index. The next time you want to look up your name ina hurry, or to find the football playoff game, or to see what page the Dairy Queen ad is on, think about all the work it took to give you such a handy reference. On these next pages, members of the annual staff spent many long hours punching the clock. The index is the place to.turn to locate a name, an ad, or an occasion. This box holds the names of everything and every- one in this book. 168 Ads, etc. bea oc. punching the clock i) OA ey y 4 } 3 - ee COM , jah , 8 Care CON 44 C1 4n Ake OU Uae Cy CLIC 2 Ayal : ASE, DOM te tt ) , BK oun age Cl = Ads, etc. 169 VEN -1oi-9 1 (0):}] Bm (0) 1 = SALES, INC.

And obviously the book needs a cover. We all knew these facts, but the knowing and the doing were about six weeks apart. A theme. Several ideas came up—and some very good. But none seemed to fit. We tried them on and discarded them one by one. Then, not wanting to speak up, Julie Raasch went home and sketched out the begin- nings of an idea. As soon as it was presented to the staff, it clicked. It was Time. Why didn’t we think of that? The cover, we knew, had to give an indication of the book’s contents. We put our artists to work on it. The basic idea— that of a time tunnel—be- longed to Randy James. The actual design was the creation of that master, James Mason, with a little help from his friends.

Rivalry with Brookville has always been high, but for the past couple of years we have “burned the Bees.” Delapidated facilities, like the collapsed ceiling in the old building, have become a fact of life, but so have repairs and improvements. 206 Closing Despite all the big changes, life at Rustburg still has a comforting consistency. The school year 1975-76 will surely be remembered as a time of changes. But still, as someone once said, “The more things change, the more they remain the same.” And for each new development on the scene this year, there were several things that will probably never change. The school itself remained unchang- ed. The people, for the most part, were the same. The routine is one thing that goes on endlessly with no change in sight. There are always complaints about inflexible rules and cafeteria food. But with all the unpleasant things that seem impossible to get rid of, there are nice things, happy things that most people take for granted. Like the over- all good feeling that exists here. The sense of belonging, of having a place somewhere. The realization that life is only as good as you make it. And this year we made it good. Familiar faces alway s fill the halls and classrooms. Matt Thompson’s will be around for the year to come.
