Remember at the end of the year when everybody is signing annuals and saying this year was great? This time don’t say it, but remember the things that made “this year’ this year. Last year one of the big issues was the redistricting, but lo and behold most of “US” are still here.

The win- ning spirit from football also ran over into basketball as the girls and boys both had impressive seasons. Track has come on big in the past years and seems to be in full swing now as the indoor track team won their first regional track meet in our history. Overall, our records and seasons seem to show an impressive year. When the snow came this year everybody was glad to get out of school. Once school was out we got bored, and sure enough, we got back together to spend nights at our | re friends’ houses. The time schedule Smash!

That was the ‘snow, but as the weather got colder and colder, sleigh riding wasn’t as popular as skating. Yes, | mean ice skating on frozen ponds! What a year! There has never been this much fun in winter months in “beaucoup” years! © How about when the weather warms up and everybody is always outside, walking the sidewalks, play- ing football on the front lawn. Lounging around on the lawn during. lunch always seems to be a good pastime, and every now and then someone will grab a dog and bring him in the school. All this is “spring fever” and why teachers keep teach- ing when everybody’s got the fever? We'll never know! When the end of school finally comes, some of US will be happy because it is just a vacation until next year comes again. Others will have long faces, maybe some Tare t(olar-lm Com tat-M ole) ial melmea dil But why get so emotional?

Opening 5 STUDYING WITH US The bell rings and anothersmad rush begins with lockers clanging and people laughing. School can really become hectic at times for US. Running to class so that we won't get sent to study hall for being tardy or hoping that our teachers believe ail of those fairy-tale excuses we give them for not doing our homework. But our teachers try to understand US and usually give US the benefit of the doubt on many of _ our “questionable endeavors.” From Analysis Calculus to Home Economics, our school offers sub- jects that will help US prepare for the outside world. Studying by the © book is not the only method of teaching used in our classes. Instead _ teachers have individualized study- _ ing, class projects: and even student teachers. - Having fun while anes is what it’s all about. Both teachers and © students here contributed to the — overall academic success of Rustburg High. All of US helping each giner to decide our futures. “To those of US who are Seer ah a in- clined, this group of books and notes are “the cream of the crop.” 6 Studying With US “Our own little world” Over on the other side of the school, you'll find two large, white buildings. Step inside the first, and you're liable to see anything from welding to woodworking to students working with hot or cold metal. When they’re not in the shop, agriculture classes are learning about a variety of different things. For example, a typical nine month course covers parlia- mentary procedure, public speaking, plant science, livestock production, even drafting! Right across the sidewalk lies the Home Ec. cottage, where students are 8 Agriculture Home Economics learning to be wage-earners and wise consumers as well as homemakers. Girls are sewing anything from eve- ning gowns to jeans, while others are busy knitting and crocheting. Other projects include redecorating rooms at home and making notebooks on how to plan different weddings. FFA is open exclusively to agricul- ture students, while FHA is open to those in home economics. Set aside from everything else, we have our own little world over here. We're going places, too, getting ready for life! Agriculture student, James Jones, learns the newest technique in card playing as he ex- amines his hand. Veteran homemaker, Kathy Johnson, demon- strates to the class the proper way to pin a pattern on the material. ary Peak the last mii aE Taking a break after doing some welding in shop, Ricky Turpin looks totally exhausted.

Getting ready to blow the roof off of the band trailer, Tyrone Hunter, Roger Davis, William Jackson and Rick Nicholas take a deep breath. 10 Band Chorus “We believe in music” The talented Rustburg chorus, directed by Miss Brown, entertains the student body at an assembly. “Hey, Mr. Brice — we have a pep rally and football game on Friday, and a parade on Saturday!” Aside from daily sixth period prac- tice, band members put in a lot of extra time after school, at football games, raising money, you name it! One thing’s for sure — the band never runs out of parades to march in or pep rallies to play for! Be it a Christmas parade, Homecoming pep rally or Spring concert, band members always have their instru- ments in tune, ready to unify with each other to entertain us. A beautiful voice is a true gift, one which no less than 22 students possess. Those talented people make up a chorus whose harmony is un- matched. Putting in hours of prac- tice, perfecting popular tunes, sing- ing sometimes for hours on end. All this, just to please us, and please us they do, performance after per- formance, from entertaining at as- semblies to holding special pro- grams. Our band, our chorus our pride and joy. Could there be a bet- ter reason to believe in music? With the help of his drum, Gordon Harris shows Phil Riddle and Tom Smith how to get a “little soul” into Band Class. Exercising his vocal cords in the chorus, Paul Lewis squeaks out another tune. Band Chorus 11 Rick Nicholas gets into his jumping position. Boys and Girls Anxiously awaiting to spike the volleyball, together in Phys. Ed. classes “You've got to be kidding!’ “Co-ed gym classes? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of!” “Hey man, that should be a lot of fun — girls in our gym class!”’ Different and varied opinions about co-ed gym classes were scattered among Freshmen and Sophomores at first, but after a few weeks, underclass- men settled down and began to have second thoughts. “Those guys aren’t as rough as | though they’d be!”’ “Hey, girls aren’t such sissies after all.”” Even the traditional single-sex health classes were changed _ this year. Driver Education, too. Most ninth and tenth graders seem to have ad- justed easily to “the big change’”’. So, it must be true that as far as Physical Education is concerned, underclassmen have more fun. er ree Getting ready to “sock-it-to-it’, Cynthia Jones serves the ball in another volleyball game.

Art touches everyone’s life, in one way or another. In fact, the very first thing that caught your eye the very first day of school was probably a huge “Welcome” sign in front of the school—a product of the Art De- partment. Many other signs around the school are, too, but a lot of us don't realize it! Art classes have taken on many new aspects this year. For example, career education in commercial art, more ceramics, more crafts, etc. Al- ways changing, because art is always changing. Twenty-five projects are complet- ed each year by the average art student. But completing a project doesn’t mean it’s put on a shelf to collect dust! No, completed projects are displayed in local art shows held throughout the year, such as Kalei- doscope and the County Fair. The main attraction for art lovers of all kinds is the Spring Art Exhibit in May. The gym becomes a mini art museum for several days, open house is held, and everyone is amazed at the beautiful paintings and crafts created by art students. About fifty of the 200 art students have membership in the Art Club, which spent over a month creating a “Cinderella’”’ float for the Home- coming court, as beautiful as the girls who rode on it. If variety is the spice of life, then Art must be the spice of Rustburg! As Kaye Franklin supervises, Margie Williams adds the final touch to her pastel. Wondering if she is doing it just like the Egyptians once did, Suzanne Harvey weaves her own straw basket. Learning the art of opening cans, Jeff Exum studies this one very carefully in Mrs. Lee’s art class. 14 Art Creating another masterpiece, Kevin Cox, Thurmond Lewis, Cindy Jones, Eugene ™ Elliott, and Tony James contemplate what goes where.

Noun Verb Obiect Who says that you can’t enjoy a J class that you have to take? English may be dull to others, but not us! When one thinks of English, the old myth of strictly direct objects, pronouns, and adverbs pops up. Although these fundamentals must be learned, they’re not the end of the line in English. Ninth and tenth graders choose between basic and advanced English, while Juniors and Seniors have quite a large field of electives from which to choose. From Advanced Compo- sition to Writing Lab to Play Produc- tion to Senior Humanities, we have it all when it comes to English. With such a variety, and freedom of the students to choose their courses, no one can complain about poor preparation for life as far as English is concerned. After all, the world is more than nouns, verbs, and objects, you know! “I never thought the class Man and Woman would be this hard,’’ Marshall Webb seems to think as he looks at the latest test. “The Theme Train,” carried by Lisa Dodson and Jan Beard, helped Mr. Rice teach his students how to write English papers. Bobby Jones, the great golfer of the twenties, is portrayed by Ramsey Shelton in his Nostal- gia class.

Enrollment in one of the three DE courses insures membership in DECA, plus help from the depart- ment in finding a part-time job.

This is certainly true when it comes to Foreign Language. “Buenas dias, senora!’”’ Students taking Spanish receive a lot of practical experience by speak- ing the language frequently in class. They even get to sample Spanish food occasionally. “Bon jour, madame!” French, too, is often spoken in class. French students find excite- ment and variety in activities such as celebrating the Mardi Gras and Christmas caroling in French. Although few students accomplish fluent speech in Latin, most learn various sayings. They find their variety in slave banquets and auctions, and practice of ancient Roman rituals.

Foreign Language A past to remember Who did what when? How many people live where? Confusing details complicate social studies, but usually there’s something for everyone. For those who enjoy different people in different places, geography provides an in-depth study of people around the world. “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” World and U.S. History outline the important events which helped to mold civilizations. Dates and names some- times jumble together, but then, his- tory isn’t a simple subject. Future “Wizards of Wall Street’ and humanitarians alike, can be found in an economics-sociology course for upper- classmen. Government classes had an unusual opportunity to hold a mock election and debate party platforms, since this was an election year. Participation always adds variety to an otherwise less-than-exciting class. A past to remember, an election to debate, people and places to observe plus national incomes, stocks and bonds, and dates to remember; all these add up to a great Social Studies Department. Taking a break from classwork, Michelle Bohon and Mike Payne work on a Geography bulletin board.

Students from all four county high schools commute daily by bus to at- tend one of the fourteen three- period courses offered. RHS combines with Brookville to make up the major portion of stu- dents. Of the 433 students, 154 come from Rustburg. Students attending the Center find many advantages as a result of the pleasant atmosphere and modern facilities. With such practical cour- ses, students are able to see what they’re doing, benefit from the results and learn through experi- ence. Job preparation and working experience are offered in a variety of courses from Auto Mechanics to Child Care. Each program has at least one facet which makes it unique. Many programs, in fact, do work outside the Center. Auto Body Repair and Auto Mechanics are busy repairing defective autos, while Electricity and Electronics have wired a bus shelter as well as helped with problems in- side the Center. Building Trades and Masonry classes helped build several constructions, mainly a new bus shelter.

On a different level is the Re- source Center. Any adult who is not finished high school can call in and get lesson plans, complete the work assigned him, and come in to the Center once a month to take tests. This is continued until diploma re- quirements are met. While all courses differ, one stands out for advanced English and History students Accent. Covering a variety of subjects, Accent students record commercials on film, criticize old television movies, and _ visit theatres and museums, to give a few examples.

Whatever you do around this crazy place, it is together. You can hear it on the football field during practice, in the locker room before every game, and on the buses when we travel to other schools. Everybody can see how the football team has pulled together, and now, WOW! “What a feeling!”’ “What is it?”’ “Who cares. Can’t you see, it is working on us in whatever we do.” Spirit circles are formed on the front lawn on the days of games.

Near the end of the day, when the effect of the spirit circle begins to wear off, a pep rally is held, and the whole student body gets out of class and gets involved. Oh Yea! The community is being drawn into this feeling, too. When you walk into a supermarket, news- paper clippings are by the door to show they are proud of our accom- plishments and support our ideas. The drive-in on the corner tends to be a little biased and gives some of the football players free hamburgers and drinks. Not only do our community and fans pull for us, but we pull for each other. Without this we would be just another school. But instead, we got our stuff together! Together 35 A Summer... At the end of the ’76 year, every- one took a deep breath of relief, not able to believe that school was out for summer. While many of us went to the beach or used our vacations to be lazy, the hard workers in the crowd got up early and went to punch the time clock in order to save to buy a car, or for college; others just for experience and the money. A small segment of the work force we nt to Connecticut to work in the tobacco fields. There, in a unique atmosphere, they lived in a camp that sported such activities as basket- ball, football, horseshoes, track and softball to fill the quiet moments be- tween working hours. During the week of June thir- teenth through the nineteenth, six of us represented Rustburg at Girls’ and Boys’ State. While there, these students learned parliamentary pro- cedure and how our state govern- ment works.

Erin Johnston has to hurry to an- other class after telling someone about the great time she had at The Governor’s School for the Gifted. Warming up for the first of many summer practices, the band begins preparing for a long football and parade season early in August.

These conven- tions, held at Longwood and Lynch- burg College, taught them the fundamentals of lawmaking and how these laws are carried out on the local levels. Also held at Longwood this sum- mer was the Publications Workshop, sponsored by Delmar Publishers. At- tending for us were co-editors of the yearbook, John Hamler and Dennis Rosser. This is a three day gathering of editors, business managers, and annual staff members from around the state. While there, these two learned all sorts of valuable informa- tion concerning all facets of the mak- ings of an annual. They brought these ideas back to us to assist in the pub- lishing of “The Owl”. Also this summer, Erin Johnston attended the Governor’s School for the Gifted at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, from June six- teenth to July thirteenth. There she took courses in fashion design, po- litical science, and art, while living on campus. She attended several speeches and lectures and noted that there was a dance every week- end for recreation. While she was there, she got a day off to go to Roanoke to deliver a speech for Governor Godwin at the opening of the Bicentennial Youth- mobile at the Roanoke Civic Center. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs went to a summer camp at the end of July, traveling to Craig Springs for a week of fellowship with other clubs from around the state. There, di- vided into basic groups, these peo- ple learned more about themselves and others through the use of values. All that attended really felt the week was well worth the price. At the beginning of August, strange sounds once again filled the practice fields, as over seventy hard working athletes went through rig- orous football practices. Pounds and pounds of fat were sweated out as soft bodies slowly became hardened, used to the exercise and heat; eyes followed the water as it was carried out onto the field for the mid-prac- tice break. Slowly, out of all the con- fusion, rose a team, close together, driving toward a District Champion- ship. 38 Summer At the same time football practice started, official cheerleading prac- tice began. With a squad that was almost the same group as a year ago, togetherness came easily, and new cheers and chants brought from cheerleading camp _ were easily learned. The squad worked hard all through August, and the eve of the first game, the cheerleaders were ready to cheer. In the last month before school the band also began getting ready for its season of halftime shows and parades. Under the demanding eyes of their director, Mr. Perry Brice, the members quickly memorized the new marching formations and pol- ished up on their musical skills, working toward a perfect presenta- tion on the night of the fi rst home game. Yearbook editor, Dennis Rosser checks in at the Publications Workshop at Longwood to learn more about organizing an annual. Already making plans for the yearbook, Editor John Hamler studies other annuals at the Pub- lications workshop.

Half the students rushing to class, the other half absent (putting last minute touches on their floats). “1 sure hope everything on this float holds up until tonight.” “Mr. Pettus, Mark said to tell you that he won’t be back until fifth period!” (even though he had a test fourth period.) At 3:00, a mad rush outside to pick a good seat along the parade route. The participants hurry to the Inter- mediate School to begin the parade. At 8:00, the famed Rustburg Foot- ball team, band members, cheer- leaders, and the fans stand in antici- pation of another victory as the Na- tional Anthem is played. Almost before we know it, half- time has arrived, and we’re winning, 28-0.

Seniors worked all day long to prepare for the large turnout expected to go through the house of horrors. “We're almost ready to let in the first group, everyone in your places. Mark, get in the casket!” “Isn’t it just great that we’re hav- ing the dance on Halloween night?” While the disc jockeys from WLGM and W)JS took a break, the SCA sponsored a Halloween cos- tume contest, won by, you guessed it — Margie Williams, with Gina Mitchell coming in a close second. At the end of the night, all agreed that each facet of Homecoming ’76 would leave fond memories in the minds of everyone. With a smile slowly creeping across her face, Homecoming Queen Marjorie Williams is crowned by Mr. Pendleton, while her escort Pat Riley looks on with pride. Leadership is a main goal for the F.F.A. and they stick to it as they place first in the float competition during Homecoming.

Fad followers also list clothes as one of the tops on their list, with new styles of jackets, skirts, socks, 44 Fads sweaters, and pants. The Fonz jackets are coming back again, while shoes really “‘get there” with argyles, stripes and prints. Sweaters of all colors and styles team up with the latest fad — gauchos. However, Levis by far still lead all newcomers in popularity.

Election 47 48 Christmas A warm Christmas message is conveyed through one of many door decorations done by art students to celebrate the holidays. Warming the hearts of many, the Rustburg Chorus sings carols at the Christmas assembly. A Christmas tree in the office? Of course, everyone is full of good cheer as the holidays approach. “See you in the Christmas play?” “What's Santa going to bring youe”’ It’s Christmas time again! Just another welcome break from school routine? No, look around you and see what happens during this festive season. Starting things off are the door decorations done annually by the art classes. Almost every door in the school has an elf, angel, reindeer, Santa, or some other Christmas character. The last day at school means parties, trading gifts with your friends and an occasional Pollyanna Party. Finishing out the last school day is the Christmas play. “You know, those skits were pretty good. They sure were different!” “Yeah, imagine Fonzie, Charlie’s Angels and the Bionic Man all in Christmas skits!”” The Christmas break provides a time to unwind and forget about school. There’s always plenty to do. “Have you been shopping yet? | got all the presents on my list yester- day.” “No, | went to see a movie. Have you been skiing at Wintergreen yet?” “Yeah, that place is really some- thing. We ought to go the day after Christmas.” What presents who gave and who received dim into the past, but the traditional Christmas dinner always stays aS a rosy memory. The very best china is filled to overflowing with turkey, ham, stuffing, ac- companied by steaming bowls of food. A week of rest and recreation separates Christmas and New Year’s. The last day of 1976 finds loud parties scattered through the area. New Year’s Day finds the tele- vision the biggest source of enter- tainment. Parades, specials, and football games dominate the screen. Two days later, the celebration of the year is over and all come back to school with stories to tell and times to remember. “What did you do for two weeks?”’ . ee ae ee er Portraying the perils and pitfalls of real people, Becky Burnette, Laurie Franklin and Don Giles do a scene from the soap opera “The Old and the Listless.”” Trying to get students into the Christmas spirit, Grady “Santa Claus’”” Jones and Wade “Fonz’’ Garner double up on Fonz’s Harley Davidson for a triumphant exit from the Christmas play. Christmas dinner is one of the many tradi- tional customs of the holidays. Christmas 49 | . Ecstacy is evident on Kathy Johnson’s face as she runs merrily through the snow. The cause of many unexpected vacations is the snow that falls on students as they hurry to class. “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!” Snowfall doesn’t seem to bother students as they watch another blanket of white cover the campus. Snow and ice may be pretty to look at, but the chains are necessary, as one bus driver prepares to fight the hazardous driving. wim 50 Snow now ” Against a background of newly fallen snow, a tree symbolizes the loneliness of a school without the students. show mixed emotions about more . as they fight their way to class e perilous weather. extends vacation “There is a traveler’s advisory in effect for tonight and tomorrow. Icy conditidns and an accumulation of two to four inches are expected. Please drive carefully. Campbell County Schools will be closed to- morrow.” These broadcasts were received with joy only three days after the Christmas vacation. The heavy snow- fall meant schools would be closed for almost two weeks. Snowballs and sleighs occupied everyone’s attention while the problems caused by the snow were forgotten. School days to be made up, mid-term exam schedule post- poned, turning the thermostat down to 65 degrees, and school finally opening an hour late each day were all hardships we would have to overcome. In the meantime, each of us en- joyed the weather. Skiing at Winter- green, sleigh riding, ice skating, and just being lazy were good ways to spend our snow days. Snow 51 Nevera dull moment Most of us don’t come to school each day just for the three R’s (reading, riting, rithmatic). There’s more to us than that. Just being with each other is worth getting up in the morning for most. Some students look forward to their extra-curricular activities such as football, basketball, and cheer- leading practice. Still there are others who are satisfied with the normal curriculum, a 30 hour work week. Whether one is into an academic field, sports, vocational field or just hanging around, being together at Rustburg is never dull. Testing their artistic abilities, Jenny Morris, Crystal Griffin, and Sharon Bernard complete a drawing in art class. Giving their undivided attention to the teacher, Gary Laverdi, Jimmy Abbott, Linda Epperson, Jerry Jackson, and Denise Reynolds listen intently in English class. 52 Moments Finding a rare chance to relax, Mary Foster takes advantage of a break at the Vo-Tech center. “Surprise! You’re in the NHS.” Mark Roberts welcomes Paul Lewis into the National Honor Society during the tapping ceremony. “Who's winning?” Cheryl Eagle can’t wait for Eric Spitzer to tell her the outcome of the mock election. Getting involved is no problem for Brenda Hamilton as she gets wrapped up in another session at the Vo-Tech center. Moments 53 Being prepared for any test “Please. print your name in the appropriate blocks on side A of your answer sheet.” “Boy, this is dumb!”’ “Yeah, why do we have to do this?” “No talking please! Now turn to page 3 in your testing booklet and do not turn the page until you are told todoso... Ready, begin.” “Begin what? | don’t even have a pencil yet!” Practically every student in high school has gone through the “ordeal” of dot tests. These tests range in various areas from clerical work to reading comprehension. ASVAB (Armed Services Voca- tional Aptitude Battery) is a test taken by the Seniors and Sopho- mores to see how they would rate with other high schoolers who might want to enter into the Armed Forces. PSAT’s are preliminary indicators of a student’s performance on col- lege boards. The scores are also used by the National Merit Scholar- ship Service to award scholarships to students who score exceptionally high. SAT, commonly known as college boards, helps determine what type of college a student is most suited for. The SRA’s (Science Research Associates) are taken by the Juniors and the DAT’s (Differential Apti- tude Test) are taken by the Fresh- men. These two tests are mandatory for high schoolers. “Stop, put down your pencils.” “Let’s turn to the next section...” 1a i 2 | 54 Testing Browsing through the annual handbook given to students at the beginning of each year, Jan Mason wonders if she'll be able to remember all the rules and regulations.

Taking a break between tests, James Burrows and John McCoy find out what it’s like to take the freshman dot tests. Rex Meadows, looks on in bewilderment after Ms. Bushong assigned the next four chapters for English homework.

Testing 55 Stud ents and teachers bring us closer together Students playing against teachers? And winning? Due to an increasing interest among both students and teachers, Mr. Jerry Dodgion organ- ized the first Rustburg High School Ping-Pong Tournament. With four categories, Women’s Singles, Men’s Singles, Doubles and Mixed Dou- bles, over fifty people entered the event. Playing before homeroom and after school, contestants were eliminated one after another until only twelve ping-pong players re- mained undefeated. In the Women’s Singles, two teachers faced each other, with Mrs. Susan Crank defeating Mrs. Gwen Johnson. A student, Don Giles beat Mr. Glenn Reichard to capture the Men’s Singles title. Then Giles team- ed up with Brad Barber to win the doubles championship in three games over Mr. Dodgion and Mr. Forest Jones. Due to two forfeits in a row, Mr. Reichard and Erin Johnston won the Mixed Doubles title after winning three matches easily. In another student-teacher clash, the faculty members came out on top. The Hi-Y club organized a bas- ketball team and challenged the fa- culty’s team. After a wild and wooly game, in which several technical fouls were called, the faculty came out on top by a modest score of 107-40.

Students during the bi- weekly pep rallies come from their classes to yell out support for our team in the upcoming games. Spirit- ed students as well as faculty cheer and chant along with anything from “Students Have You Heard” to “Rock Steady ” inside the gymnasium or outside at the football field. It doesn’t matter where the pep rally is held, the results are still the same, and that is spirit raised. The Spirit Chain, an annual event sponsored by the National Honor Society, raises spirit between the classes for an upcoming football game. The students in each class pull together with their extra coins to buy links to make their chain. The class with the most links either has the most spirit or the most money. The Spirit Stick is a famed baton given during the pep rally to the class with the most spirit. This is usually decided when the favorite cheer, ‘Students, Students, Have Ya’ Heard?” is yelled, and the classes in turn get their chance to be heard. Color Day was a new item on the list of many spirited activities when all students on the day of a big game wore the red and white Rustburg colors. The class with the most stu- dents wearing the school colors won the spirit stick. Each week before a game posters are put up and spirit badges are worn by the most enthusiastic students. Students here always pull together to get the spirit!

Providing some ‘Boogie Music’, Freedom Jam, a rock group, entertains the students during a special assembly. One can tell by the expression on the faces of Jane Farris, Kathy Johnson and Val Hood there are mixed feelings towards this perfor- mance. Getting into the swing of things, Wade Garner portrays a rather old doctor in the play “The Old and the Listless’ during the Christmas assembly. Having fun, Pat McCraw assist The Great Houdini in a magic act during another fan- tastic assembly in November. Giving their own version of the ‘Waltons Christmas’, Kenneth Tweedy, Gloria Miles, Kaye Franklin, Matt Thompson, and Erin Johnston participate in a play called the “Wal- nuts”. Everyone likes variety. “After the ringing of the next bell, students going to the first assembly will go to the gymnasium.” The first assembly of the year trad- itionally welcomes everyone to their home away from home for the next 180 school days. Club presidents, faculty, sponsors, and members of clubs give their annual speech to draw attention to their own niches here. The magazine sale assembly allows top student salesmen to earn extra money for their class and prizes for themselves by selling subscriptions. The Christmas play put on by some enthusiastic and creative students was a little out of the ordinary this year when the actors and actresses poked fun at various popular T.V. shows. Actual entertainment was brought here at our convenience. Houdini the Great, a magician, amazed the specta- tors with his feats of escape and slight of hand. Two professional bands also ap- peared. One was a touring rock group called Freedom Jam, as well as a tour- ing Army Band. Each band put on their own show and the differences in the music tastes of the students were satisfied with the wide range of musical variety of both bands. Assemblies at other schools usually include only the basic needs for a student gathering, but we, with the help of the administration, made our assemblies something to sit back and relax with.

Different techniques such as strok- ing, the “Magic Circle’ and un- broken communications squares are only a few of the many methods used in SODA sessions at Rustburg Intermediate. Each high schooler usually have five or six sixth grade students in his own group to discuss anything from drug abuse to what they would do if they had only one month to live. SODA Partners are a part of a main project to help the future students of Rustburg. mBUZZEZ 2222 22e “Get out of my way, I’ve got to go to a fire!” Streaking through the halls at a moment's notice, one can see Mr. Fletcher and his trusty followers of the Second Brigade on their way to the fire house, actually having their lives endangered each time the bell rings.

Will we be able to come back to visit, to see if the new Seniors are carrying on traditional responsibilities of handling underclassmen and faculty? Will our old teachers remember us? Do they want to remember us? Most of us will be in college, working full time, or maybe even married . . . all we will have is memories of how it “used to be’. The closing of school will mean that the Class of 77 has gone, and the reign of 78 has begun. How about some of us coming to high school for the first time? What lies in store for us, will high school be like the horrible myths crammed into our minds by older brothers and sisters? Or will it be a pleasant ex- perience finally being at high school with all the extras we didn’t have at the Intermediate, like dating, playing sports or participating in one of the many extracurricular activities here. Finally, there are some of us who will be here a little while longer, “waiting it out’ or “hanging in there’, whichever the case may be. We know what it’s like to be in high school, yet we still don’t know what it feels like to be Seniors. We still have our feet in the doors when they close in June. The closing of school will bring mixed emotions to us... excitement, anticipation, the ho-hum of another year. Yet, each of us wonders, no matter who we are, where do we go from here?

Explaining to’ our parents that our grades would be back to normal after the season was over, trying to convince our girl- friends or boyfriends that missing the dance to run in a track meet hurt US as much as it hurt them. Yelling and screaming and some- times crying, our fans really back US up in every sport. Getting chew- ing gum on your pants in the bleachers or getting choked on pop- corn while you’re cheering can really become frustrating to anyone. But US, the fans, take it all in stride and continue to cheer our heads off. You see, it not only takes the par- ticipants to make a season successful, but also the fans. It takes all of US to make it work, and that’s what makes sports at Rustburg so special. — Breaking tackle after tackle, Mauri Anderson shows US why he was the Seminole District’s leading scorer. 66 Competing With US Competing With US 67 Togetherness What a season! 10-0, the best record we’ve ever had .since we started football. The team did great during the season; we'll just have to forget the playoff game against Covington, an 18-14 loss. Football! Football! Football! When August comes around, everybody begins to think about football. Hot weather is the main factor during practices, so they are set late in the afternoon after the sun starts to go. down. This might save some of the ballplayers from heat exhaustion, _ but it doesn’t save the grass. The dust begins to roll in huge clouds when the players are on the field, so everybody gets dirty whether he lands on the ground or not. Remember when the firetruck came to water the grass and dampen the dust? Some of the players would -run beside the truck and get wet from head to foot. This was another way to beat the heat! In the newspapers, the district was supposed to be more balanced than ever before. Appomattox was a slight favorite to win with all their _ballplayers coming back. We. met _ Appomattox in the third game of the season, remember? The score was 19-14. We won in the waning minutes of the game when Kenny Tweedy pulled down a pass in the open’and ran in for a touchdown. _ William Campbell was the next big game; everybody remembered the loss to them last year. Revenge was in the air that night; white hand- kerchiefs were waving throughout the stands. We received the opening kickoff and carried the football all. the way for a touchdown. The BIG RED MACHINE couldn’t get on track the rest of the night. The defense scored a touchdown, and the of- fense produced another. The score was 20-0, which proved to be a game for the defense. | The next game also proved to be a low scoring game for the Machine. The Red Machine had to go to City Stadium for a game with a AAA _school, Heritage. At the beginning of the year, the Heritage coach claimed that an AA school would never beat his Pioneers.

The football team this season had a great year — 10-1 — nothing to be ashamed of at all. Each and every player put forth an extra effort throughout the season that made this season so special.

After the first four games, the team was winless.

William Campbell was next on the schedule. A fever-like excitement flowed through the bus during the trip to Naruna.

No sooner did the sportswriters focus on the hardwood courts than the Red Devils were told that they would never recover from losing Sam Scott, Floyd Merryman and Tom ‘Rabbit’ Lewis to graduation. They all wrote “I told you so”’ after we lost the first three games of the _ season. The first to AAA school E.C. Glass, 56-49, the second game to Nel- son County, 71-61, and the third, a heartbreaking defeat to Liberty, 77-76. In the last game before Christmas 78 Boys’ Varsity Basketball holidays, Kenneth Tweedy came alive for us at Gretna, pouring in twenty- three points to lift the team to its first victory, 59-44 over the Hawks. Tim James was the next Devil to hit a hot night, rolling up twenty-four points at home against Jefferson-Forrest, while Jeff Franklin added sixteen points to pave the way for the second win of the season, 72-62 over the Cavaliers. Gary Wagner, a transfer from Ap- pomattox, scored nineteen points in the next game, but could not keep pace with Tweedy, who scorched the nets for twenty-nine points. The team came from behind to drub the new AAA school, Heritage, 74-66. Enjoying a 3-3 record and the Christmas vacation, the’ boys were stunned in the next contest by Tracy Poindexter, who scored thirty-seven points on his home court to give his Altavista Colonels. their first win of the season, beating the Red Devils 62-57.

Memories of the beating they took in the opening game came back to haunt the girls when Liberty beat them for the second time, 46-45.

During the third - game, a 53-52 heartstopping loss to Liberty, the JV’s realized that they could win.

After those defeats, the team could -.. have folded, but instead they came _ back and won the next contest against archrival Brookville, 64-62. The team’s inexperience came back to haunt them as they dropped four games in a row before winning a squeaker against Jefferson Forest, 52-49. Unfortunately, due to the critical energy shortage in Virginia, the remainder of the JV basketball sea- son was cancelled.

It cer- tainly isn’t just wearing a uniform and shaking pom-pons! Did you ever stop to think. “Who put up all those spirit posters?” “Who decorated the buses and field posts?”’ “Who made these delicious cup- cakes?” Who? The cheerleaders, of course. Not to mention all the long, hard hours of practicing to learn the various chants and cheers that bring us to- gether. And the bake sales, car washes and silent day to make money. Cheer- leaders go through a lot, to put it mildly. Two people who certainly can’t be overlooked are mascot Margie Williams and sponsor, Mrs. Yvette Miller.

Cheerleaders 93 Rock Steady! “If you're all for Devils, clap your hands...” Little bit different from cheering for other sports? You’d better believe it! It’s easy for basketball cheerleaders to get involved in the games for two rea- sons. One is evident, being so close to the action triggers involvement. The other? It’s purely emotional . . . each of the twenty-eight players is special to the cheerleaders. Ask any one of those players how they feel about the cheer- leaders, and you'll find yourself sus- pecting that the feeling is mutual. “Our team is tough, they’ve got the stuff, they’re really rough!” Leading cheers is a job not taken lightly by these eight girls. Whether shouting comfort to a player who has just fouled, praising a temporarily “benched” team member, or leading the crowds in an original version of “Rock Steady”, the cheerleaders are al- ways 100% involved! It takes a lot of fuss to get for- mations together, plan pep rallies, and supply two teams with bubble gum, oranges, and refreshments, but it’s well worth it! In victory, cheerleaders and players merge to form a wild, scream- ing circle in the middle of the floor. Even in defeat, each girl on the squad finds a little satisfaction in comforting the team. Whatever the situation they’re really atogether group! Ah, the magic word . .. TOGETHER! Another job of the cheerleaders, keep- ing the fans together. Crowds are a big factor at basketball games, es- pecially in a close contest. Uniting the crowds to get the teams psyched up takes an awful lot of spirit and energy! Lucky for us that this year’s squad had an abundance of both... three or four hours a night, two nights a week, eleven weeks of the season! Lots of time, lots of energy. But most of all, lots of caring. That’s what it takes to get together and stay that way. And isn’t it nice to know that our cheerleaders have what it takes? You betcha!

Unfortunate- ly, the inner workings of the band remain largely unknown to the stu- dent body. Under the leadership and direc- tion of Mr. Perry (Captain Fantastic) Brice, the band endures the scorch- ing heat, freezing rain and the gloom of night, never faltering under such treacherous conditions. Beginning this year’s schedule on October 9 with the Bicentennial Parade in Altavista, the band quickly showed that this year would be one of the best ever. The band also per- formed in Christmas parades in South Boston and Lynchburg. Led by returning all regional flute player Jeff Tucker and Drum Major- ette Paula Coates, the band played at all football games and assembled a Pep Band for some basketball games as well. All the hours of practice paid off each Friday night as the band put on a well polished half-time perfor- mance. The Band wouldn’t be the same without the added beauty of the majorettes, pom-pom girls, and new additions this year, the Flag Girls and Rifle Corps.

That sums up what the FFA chapter has done this year. In competition with other Virginia FFA clubs, the Future Farmers of America have consistently come away with superior ribbons. Dairy Judging and Crop Judging have been perfected by these hard working Agriculture students. Getting in- volved in school activities, the FFA won first place in float competition during the Homecoming Parade. Busybodies! The Future Home- makers of America could have earn- ed this title with their numerous activities. Starting the year off is the Federation Fall Rally, all the FHA chapters in Campbell and Appo- mattox getting together to map out the year’s events. Other highlights during the year are the Federation’s skating party at Skateland, the Of- ficer Training Workshop, and the club’s own Tupperware Party.

You’re being in- ducted into the National Honor Society!” An honor for any Junior or Senior is to be inducted into the NHS, an unique club in which the members are selected. Outstanding students are honored in an assembly, in addi- tion to a more formal ceremony for parents. The Prometheus Chapter of the National Honor Society sponsors such activities as Purely Academic, Boy’s and Girl’s State and the famed spirit chain. The SCA controls, to a great ex- tent, activities of the student body. Representatives from each home- room in the school meet regularly with elected officers. Concern is shown for student-teacher relation- ships, and ideas for improvement of | the school environment are often discussed. Big events sponsored by the SCA are Homecoming, dances, assemblies, and the - Spring Carnival. Schoolwide elections are held each spring to select the of- ficers for the coming year.

This formal gather- ing gives the club and its sponsors the opportunity to show their ap- preciation to the area’s businessmen for giving them jobs during the year. Helping these members gain ex- perience and background for these jobs is the District Leadership Con- test, held on February 9. Thirteen fields of competition give the DE Club the chance to show what they have learned about marketing, job interviews, and other sales related skills. “How many donuts did you sell?”’ “Six dozen, how about you?”’ Ask a student what FBLA means to them, and nine times out of ten they will tell you: “Oh, you mean the club that sells donuts?”’ Students get the idea that the Future Business Leaders of America is an inactive club, but they are, in fact, one of the busiest groups in the school.

These two clubs also participate in community and school projects, sending Christmas baskets to the needy and serving food to the teach- ers during summer workdays before school. Highlighting the year for club members are three state confer- ences, MGA, Junior Hi-Y Assembly and the Summer Leadership Confer- ence. MGA, held in the state’s Cap- ital Building, allows Hi-Y and Tri-Hi- Y members to learn about the Vir- ginia law-making process, while the other two conferences show mem- bers how to make their club active and useful in the community.

In all facets of school life, Junior faces pop up. On the football field, Mauri An- derson moved into the spotlight with one hundred-fifty eight points scor- ed and over 1,000 yards gained rush- ing. Juniors are also very active in the student government and all other sports; track, basketball, volley- ball, golf, and baseball. Added to those extracurricular activities are the special ‘Junior’ times. Ordering rings in the fall brings the class of ‘78 into a new part of high school life; beginning to look back. These underclassmen realize time is almost up. Finally in March is the long await- ed Ring Dance. Long formals and tuxedos are the order of the day as couples sat out in fancy restaurants and see their rings for the first time. “There’s just so much to do!” “Let's go order our tux’es today.” 136 Junior Class SS) ee Shelby Harrison David Harvey Louis Harvey Suzanne Harvey Earston Hewitt Janet Hicks pming representative April ed by John E.

Never agree! “If it takes the whole year, we’re going to beat the Seniors!” It’s an unspoken agreement between the top two graduating classes every year; Complete! What do you mean? Compete in what? In everything — school spirit, fund drives, Halloween costumes, class size. The first round in the competition is the spirit stick. Who has the most spirit, the loudest mouths. The second round. The spirit chain. You get six links for a nick- el. Who has the most spirit (and money to pay for the links?) “Have you got any loose change for our chain? We have to beat the Seniors, you know they’re poor!” Yes, the Seniors were poor, they came in last, the Juniors third. The classes of ’77 and ‘78 joined together to claim the Sophomore and Fresh- man classes respective finishes.

Silver and Gold “How much is yours going to cost?” “About eighty dollars.’ “Hah, mine cost ninety-eight!”’ The class of ’78 quickly found out that owning a class ring is ex- pensive. All those little extra items that one adds to his ring beefs up the price tag. “I’m going to get Palladium plus, what about you?” “| think I’ll go on and get 14 karat gold.”’ The big decision is what type of ring to buy. With over a dozen different stones to choose from and several types of settings, the choice is often difficult. When the rings are finally re- ceived during the Ring Dance, each and every Junior is sure to feel that: “My ring is the most beautiful one of all!” Terri Royster Bobby Saunders Billy Schumacher Jeff Scott Ramsey Shelton Robert Shumaker Dollie Silvester Larry Smith Tootie Smith Duane Spencer Carolyn Suddith Cecil Talley Tricia Templeton Brenda Thompson Lisa Thompson Mary Thompson Debbie Trent Louise Trent Royal Trent Steve Tucker Arthur Turner April Tweedy John Tweedy Marc Tweedy 140 Junior Class Disbelief shows on the faces of Brad Barber and Lisa Davis as they listen to another of Mr. Skinner’s adventures in English class. 809 W. cee onde Appomatto� Virgin ia 24522 ie Concord Flag girls Sherri Lankford and Janet Hicks show their spirit and support of their team at the Homecoming pep rally.

Awkward year? é hememmns ce Sn “Are you looking forward to next year?” “Not me. What is there to look forward to in being a sophomore?” Being a Sophomore is really an awkward year for many students. Some former Sophomores even call it their most boring year. . Ordering class rings, breaking in the lunch line, Senior Prom, Junior Ring Dance, upperclassmen, class trips, and giving the excuse that you forgot the combination of your lock- er are all a part of what Sophomores can’t do. So where does that leave the Sophomore? Well, he just has to wait his turn like everyone else has to, because everyone goes through an‘‘awkward year”.

Just because the Sophomores apace were in their “awkward” year, didn’t a mean that they couldn’t do as well as any other class for putting on a fine showing at Homecoming. Their float represented the labors of hard work, and on Homecoming Day the Sophomore class float rolled onto Main Street with the theme of ‘Per- fection Isn’t’’. Carrying out the theme were school girls in dunce hats, squatty bodies as the Home- coming Queen and King, and a spe- cial appearance of an “uncool” Fonzie cruising in a toy auto. There was something special that lighted up in each one of the Sopho- mores’ faces as their float passed. It truly was a sign that the Soph- omores could execute the theme and they knew it was also their “Time for Perfection’. ee , % 4 ie Diane Davis Frank Davis Lisa DeHart Jamie Dickerson Peyton Dixon Sandra Dixon Lisa Dodson Terry Downey Vicky Dunn Stella East Cheryl Edwards Annie Ellington Jerome Elliott Linda Elliott Eve Emerson Larry Epperson Sandra Epperson Mike Eubank 144 Sophomore Class ; ; ; ’ Sophomores Jean Franklin, Darlene Bagby, Sally Johnson, Tim Doss, and Tami Tyree practice poses before the homecoming pa- rade.

Sophomore’s 4? Transformation A student seems to undergo a transformation upon realizing that his Sophomore year has approached. The changes during the summer show that we’re not the youngest; not the ones to be picked on any- more. We have more responsibilities and we can’t get away with all our elflike antics as we did last year. We won't let it get us down be- cause we know that we are only a few steps away from being upper- classmen. We are an original class; there are no others like us because we are the Sophomores!

A Sophomore has to go through a thorough Driver’s Educa- tion training course a semester dur- ing their physical education class. It’s then on to Yellow Branch Elementary to test one’s skill on the grueling ‘driving range’. It takes fifteen hours on the range and two hours on the road to com- plete the entire required course... then it is a matter of turning sweet sixteen. “No, turn your wheels to the left and back out slowly”. “Hey, slow down!” “Now look what you’ve done!” Sherry Lee Henry Little Lisa Marr Brenda Marshall Rochelle Martin William Martin Randy Marquis Chris Marvel Anna Mason David Mason Kathy Maxey Jan May John McCoy Tony McIntosh Linda Merritt Betsy Merryman Gloria Miles Stacy Millner Susan Mills Bryan Mitchell Buddy Mitchell Mae Mitchell Bob Moore 148 Sophomore Class ‘experience i Sandra Moran Ginny Morris Rick Nicholas Sherry Ogden Tina Overstreet Gary Owens Shelia Owens Denise Padgett Greg Paige Mike Parrish Ruth Pash Robert Pauley Annette Payne Lloyd Payne Roxane Payne Tony Perrow Alice Phillips Danny Pollard Steve Pool Wanda Preston Tarry Pribble Gaye Rafferty Debbie Rakes Gary Rakes Edward Randolph Diane Reynolds Steve Reynolds Tommy Riley Ricky Ring Mark Roberts Robbie Robertson Bennie Rolfes Edward Rosser James Rosser Marcia Rosser Tony Rosser Chuck Royster Tommy Sames Adaline Saunders Greg Saunders Kim Schumaker Pea Ce ’ _?

Then in the spring, one could enter his works into the Spring Art Exhibit where his display of projects could win a ribbon in the gallery of “orofessional’’ amatures.

Bottom of the Ladder “| hate being a freshman!” “And quit crying, it isn’t that bad, at least we’re not at the Mid- dle School anymore.” After being “kings’’ at the Middle School last year, some freshmen had a hard time adjusting to the fact that they were at the bottom. Other freshmen, though, seemed made for high school, fitting easily into sports, clubs, and everyday social life. After this period of adjustment, the new Red Devils begin to look ahead to the other bright spots on the school calendar.

Hundreds of paper flowers, a mock Supremacy Trophy, a symbol of perfection. They used a barn near the parade route to keep their “creation” out of the pouring rain. “Debbie, what are you doing?” “We're making flowers for our float Mr. Miller, we'll study tomor- row, we promise!”’ Finally, October 29th arrived and nerves accompanied the Freshmen’s float to the Middle School for the start of the ride down Main Street. “Will it hold together?”’ “Oh, | hope we placed in the float competition!” (continued) PS cqu camara sew In one of his more serious moods, Steve Pool, listens intently in a class discussion.

Keeping us straight “Do | have to take dot tests?” “| want to graduate early!” Guidance — a special. department in every school, vital to its being, yet often overlooked. Other than deal- ing with students on a one-to-one basis, counselors are involved in programs such as Vocational Re- habilitation, Career Education, Speech Therapy, and Orientation of New Teachers. Miss Vaughan, new in the department, proved to be talented in her field. Dealing with. students isn’t the only job of Mr. Pendleton, Mr. Jones and Mr, Elliott, either. Otherwise known as the “big three’’, these men take care of quite a few small mat- ters such as assemblies and pep ral- lies, and meetings with faculty and School Board members, besides tell- ing “lively” students where to go. Special people? You betcha!! They have to be . . . because that’s what it takes to keep us straight.

Faculty 165 Making decisions for us “Do you have your lesson_ plans drawn up for next week?” “Are you giving a semester test or an exam?” “What objectives do you hope to accomplish this year?” As if they don’t have enough to do, teachers are forced to make zil- lions of decisions over the course of the nine month school term. Some are trivial, some — important, but all, decisions. Each teacher has a planning per- iod, but fifty-five minutes isn’t always enough time to plan a week’s work for five classes. So, making de- cisions and choosing projects takes up alot of spare time, too. It’s fairly unusual to find any two teachers who use the same method of teaching. Although a few Intimidating her students with her evil eye, Mrs. Carolyn Bushong lectures on the im- portances of Tragedy in Literature. 166 Faculty may use the contract method, each teacher makes little changes which give their classes a bit of “unique- ness”. Some people seem to think “Man, teachers have it made. After they teach one year, they follow the same pattern forever.” What a wrong opinion! Rustburg’s faculty mem- bers are constantly striving for per- fection, and they realize that in or- der to improve, you must change. No two school years are alike. Stu- _dents are always coming and going. Making changes to suit students is one of the biggest decisions teachers . face. Being a teacher is no easy job. We don’t help out much either, be- cause one of the major complica- | tions is making decisions for us. - Wincing at the bright sun at an outdoor as- sembly, Mrs. Susan Crank prepares to take a picture.

Our teachers’ support doesn’t stop with time and interest, either. Who’s the first person you go to when you're selling spirit buttons or raffle tickets? More often than not, a teacher. And very few times do they turn you down. Did you ever take time to notice the chaperones at school dances? Right — you guessed it! Teachers! Be it the Homecoming Dance or the Se- nior Prom, teachers put in an ap- pearance and lose _ themselves among the students. The phrase “generation gap” has yet to hit Rustburg. Students and teachers have great relationships here. Sometimes, however, we may tend to take our teachers for grant- ed. But if we do, we have a good ex- cuse.

And behind all those infinite deeds, there was always a smiling face. “Mr. Harris, Mr. Fred Harris to the office, please.” Near or far, Mrs. Naomi Morgan, Mrs. Beulah Nowlin, Mr. Reginald Tweedy and Mr. Fred Harris are al- ways running here and there to cater to the needs of student and faculty members alike. Never com- plaining, always smiling, always patient. Rustburg is very lucky to employ four gourmet cooks who add variety to our lunches and spice to our lives, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Rosser, and Mrs. Charlton are the “four friendly faces’ behind the serving line in the cafeteria. An- other friendly face in the cafeteria is Mrs. Withers, who gladly takes our money in exchange for a hot meal volar: Lacolame) mee) (eMule Where would we be without our 170 Faculty secretaries?

Even people who help people need help sometimes, and this is where three people step in to save the day. Mrs. Driskill, new as an aide, helps out with little tasks around the office, while Mrs. Van Blarican and Mrs. Owens give study hall the motherly touch. Staying constantly behind the scenes with such a small bit of rec- ognition is noble indeed.

Clothing, food, housing, and luxury take chunks out of our. parents’ bank books. _ | Grocery stores, clothing shops, and hardware stores are all over the place these days. Through adver- tisement, they tell US what products they have to offer. One method of advertisement is through ads. Ads are found almost everywhere, newspapers, magazines, books, and even annuals use ads in their pro- ducts to offset production costs. Ads are certainly a part of US. Leaving A.C.

Going, Going, ... Gone Another school year has ended for US. Campus life, clubs, sports, and academics fade into the background as we concentrate on enjoying summer. For underclassmen, it’s just a break; a time to relax and think about what it will be like to be one class higher next year. For Seniors it’s a little different. They won't be back with the rest of US next year. For some it will be back to being a freshman again, but this time a college freshman. For other Seniors, it will be the age old task of job hunting. The pep rallies, assemblies, and ball games with all of US together Packing the stands every home game, all of US contributed a small amount to the football team’s 10-0 district record. were really fantastic with all the yelling and screaming and laughing that we did. Even schoolwork wasn’t so bad when each of US helped one another. It took the united effort of all of US to make this school year so re- warding and satisfying. The students, faculty, custodians, and cooks all contributed to the success of the school year. What a special year it was for all of US.
