Rustburg High School Rustburg, Virginia 24588 Volume 37 ONE OF A KIND... Bursting with spirit, Randy Williams � demonstrates the new pom-pon routine he just learned. 2 Opening IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE No major changes in the school could be seen. The halls looked the same, all of the rooms were in the same place, and even the rules were still the same. But there was something different about it all. What was it? Well, it could have been the large sroup of excited Freshmen that ner- vously searched for their next class, or the new class of dominating Seniors who took full advantage of their new status. Maybe it was the new teachers or the new assistant principal, Mr. Murray, that made the difference. That big trophy that occupied one of the showcases must have had some- thing to do with the change in the at- mosphere of the school.

Opening 3 ONE OF A KIND (cont. ) dinstriet, students were given a slight break academically. Instead of having the standard five point grading scale, a seven point scale was enforced which made the chances of getting an ‘A’ larger and the chances of getting an ‘F’ smaller, or something like that. And for those brave Juniors and Seniors who dared to take some of the more i advanced courses, each letter grade -was worth one more point than those of average classes. - Homecoming - without a parade?

I had so much other work to do. What do teaches think we are, computers?”’ A student’s life can get really rough sometimes with all of the activities and studying. But friends, teammates, dedicated teachers, and understanding parents have a way of making all of the work seem worth while and the play seem more enjoyable. A student’s life? It’s ONE OF A KIND, and we wouldn’t trade it for any other. Stopping for a brief chat between classes, Anne Cardwell shows Sandy Steppe how soft her dishwashing liquid makes her hands.

The victim of Bobby Bass’ latest rampage, Denise Bohon screams in terror. In the heat of a summer’s day Nick Claybrook and Steve Hall seem to be contemplating, “taking the Nestea plunge.” 10 School Opening Return to routine .... A. new procedure for making up tests was put to use this year. Upon missing a test, the student receives a form to fill out which must be signed by a parent. The form is returned to the new vice-principal, Mr. Murray, another addition to the old routine. Mr. Murray administers the make-up test on Thursday afternoon or on Fri- day morning before home room. This procedure saves teachers the trouble of administering the tests themselves and keeps the students from having to miss another class period in order to make up the test. Taking it easy, Eddie Campbell clears his mind of the rush of the opening of school. During lunch, the lawn seems to be the favorite gathering place to escape from the heat of the last summer days. Gossip seems to be Ken Hirtz’s only interest, while Ken Anthony uses his lunch period for more serious matters. School Opening 11 c 12 Summer toremember = During the week of June 12-18, stu- dents from all over Virginia attended Girls’ and Boys’ State. Six of our stu- dents were among these.

It’s only fair for the guys to share in some of the glory!” Instead of voting only on a Homecoming Queen, students also elected a King. This is the revival of a practice used several years ago, but it was new to us. Excitement flowed through the stu- dent body the week of the Homecom- ing game. By Friday afternoon, stu- dents could hardly stay in their seats while waiting for the bell to ring for the pep rally. As game time rolled around, the stands were packed and Rustburg stocking caps were seen everywhere. “T had to park nearly a half a mile away! How’d you get such a good seat?” “T’ve been here since 6:30, that’s how!” “Hey kid! Quit throwing popcorn!”’ At halftime, the scoreboard read HOME 22, VISITORS, 6. All right! The Homecoming Court assembled on the field and excitement filled the air. Who was crowned King and Queen for Homecoming ’77? Mike Markham and Suzanne Harvey!! As the game resumed, our team was still going strong! “Way to go defense! Show those Nelson County Governors your stuff!” At the end of the game, the final score was 38 to 12. Another victory for the Devils! Was there ever any doubt?

Homecoming 15 A New look ow. ‘What do you mean no parade?”’ “How can Homecoming be any good without a parade?” Well, it did turn out good. One of the best in years! The changeover from a Homecoming Parade to a Car- nival not only provided fun for the students and members of the com- munity, but it also gave the clubs and classes the opportunity to make money rather than spend it on building a float. Signs advertising popcorn, hot dogs, chili beans, candy, drinks, and other assorted ‘junk foods’ were seen everywhere. “Get your ‘Devils Go For It’ transfer put on a T-Shirt by the Art Club.” “Buy a balloon from the National Honor Society!” “Throw a football, toss a ring, and see a pie smeared in the face of your favorite teacher!”’ “Hey, look at Mr. Pettus’ whipped cream moustache!” The carnival was a delightful success. Activities continued with the Homecoming Dance Saturday night, October 22. Micky Finn, a band which is an offshoot of Razzmatazz, provided the students with good rock and disco music. People were actually dressed up! Streamers and sound equipment converted the Gym into a dance floor, and Parker Studio added the final touch by capturing the special evening in pictures. The Dance and Homecoming 777 came to a dreaded close at 12:00 Saturday night. Although students were sorry to see it end, they looked forward to many more good times throughout the year. Homecoming 77, a unique and un- forgettable experience, will remain in our memories for many years to come.

Pep Rallies WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY . .. ‘What is the assembly going to be about today?” “T don’t know. All I know is that it takes second period time and I get out of taking a Physics Test!” For teachers and students alike, assemblies are a welcome break in the routine of school. They provide an op- portunity to relax and prepare for the next class. An assembly was held near the beginning of school to encourage stu- dents to sell magazines in order to raise money for their class treasuries and the band. Soon after that, assembly, the National Honor Society held it’s “tapping” ceremony, in which the old members ‘‘tapped”’ those students who had been selected to become new members. General Motors presented a show on Science and Technology that was not only entertaining, but educational as well. It demonstrated principles of such things as laser beams and frictionless surfaces. The magician that came in November had some tricks that were even better than Mr. Reichard’s Chemistry demonstrations. “That program was really good.” ‘Maybe the next assembly will take off of third period so I can miss an English Test!” Recently-tapped, Mona Wood follows Claresa Johnson to the National Honor Society tapping ceremony. ‘‘Aw Gee!’’ Kenny Pritchard tries to figure out what the trick is to the magician’s last illusion. 20 Assemblies Honored, surprised, and a little embarrassed at being chosen for the Honor Society, new members wait to be pinned. Showing the posters students can win for sell- ing magazines, Anne Cardwell helps out the speaker at the Magazine Assembly, Mr. Jack Stanley of QSP Magazines, Inc., ex- plains the procedure for selling subscriptions in the annual magazine sales drive. Assemblies 21 Right at Home How would you like to go to a foreign country of your choice and live there for a whole year? Well, we were lucky enough to have a student here who did just that! The student is Jukka Kemppi, from Finland, who came to live in the little village of Rustburg for a year! He is attending our school through a scholarship from the American Field Service (AFS), an organization designed to promote understanding between countries by using in- dividuals as messengers. Finland is located in Europe bet- ween Sweden and Russia. It is about | three times the size of Virginia with the population comparable to that of New York. Jukka speaks four languages; Finish, his native language, English, Swedish and German. In Finland, Jukka has won a National Cham- pionship for a cross country skiing relay. He likes Folk Dancing, and has done it since he was four. His parents are four times the National Cham- pions for Folk Dancing. Jukka has found Finish and American people basically the same, except that Americans are more open with their thoughts and feelings. He feels his experience has benefitted him, and his fellow students. They are learning about each other and having fun doing it! 22 Jukka Kemppi Foreign Exchange Student Jukka Kemppi smiles a hello at a passer by as he reflects on his life at Rustburg.

I wish the fire alarm would go off!” “For what? So you can see all of the guys in the Second Brigade come fly- ing out of the classrooms and down the hall?” “Yeah! I like to see the looks on teacher’s faces when that happens.” In order to become a Second Brigade member of the Rustburg Volunteer fire Department, a stu- dent, usually male, must maintain a “C” average, complete the depart- ment’s basic training, and pass both a written and practical test. This program gives those students who are interested in fire-fighting the opportunity to see if they would like to make a career out of it. When a Second Brigade member becomes eighteen years old, he may be accep- ted into the Volunteer Fire Depart- ment as a member. 2 Going once... Going twice... Gone.

I sure could use a nice long vacation.” “Me too! I heard on the weather report this morning that there’s a winter storm watch out for tomorrow night.” “Tl bet. We’ll probably just have a few snow flurries.” We had a few snow flurries all right! Soon after we came back from Christmas vacation, a heavy snow, mixed with freezing rain and sleet, followed by below freezing tem- peratures, caused many area schools to be closed. At first, the sight of the snow- covered ground and the icy roads was exciting. Instead of waking up early and getting dressed for school, stu- dents found themselves sleeping late and spending the days watching T.V. The conditions were nice for sledding, skiing, and staying close to a nice hot , fire, but that was about all. After a couple of days of being con- fined by the snow, boredom soon set in. Those students who didn’t try to go out in cars for fear of getting stuck, even resorted to catching up on school work and studying for exams. But what was the use? As many days as we missed, we weren’t sure if the semester would ever end! A break in the weather finally came. The roads were fairly cleared, and it hadn’t snowed for a few days. So the schools reopened one hour late and teachers hurriedly prepared us for the up-coming exams. And then it snowed again!! Not only did we miss time from school, but basketball games were postponed and had to be rescheduled. That meant as many as three games a week for our dedicated players. Who wants to go to school on a Saturday? Apparently, not too many people because there were exactly 371 students who didn’t show up for the first make-up day. “T’ll be glad when all of this snow melts.” ‘““Me too!” Snow 29 A classic example of ‘‘Senior Insanity,’’ Gary Wagner bares his pretzel fanges.

If one had to come to school and sit through six hours of lectures for one hundred eighty days out of the year, pretty soon he would begin to go crazy. Although the teachers try to add a little variety to their classes, students usually take it upon themselves to break the humdrum routine of school life. In between classes and during lunch are times for students to relax and have a good time. Just being able to talk and laugh with friends tends to break the monotony of the boring or hectic schedule. But to be honest, classes are a stu- dent’s favorite place to have a break in routine. Making funny faces, whispering a good joke to a friend, and flirting with the person across the room are just a few of the ways a stu- dent finds of adding excitement to the day. Especially when that excite- ment causes one to get sent to the of- fice for a visit with Mr. Elliott. An education is something to be taken seriously and here, most of the emphasis is placed on learning, but being able to take time out from working to have some fun makes the work seem that much easier. Teachers and students alike find this to be true. The feelings of closeness that exist because of this are just another exam- ple of the unique atmosphere that we have. Serenity can be found amidst the madness of high school, as Tim Crance has discovered. OE g cau gh t Doing Our Own Thing 31 Take a lunch break How many people would like the responsibility of preparing lunches for over 700 people every single school day? It’s not an easy job! Our lunches aren’t home cooked meals like mom’s, but they’re balanced. You do have a choice! The atmosphere of the lunch room was a little different when students walked in the first day. A railing in front of the serving area kept the line straight, and a new computerized cash register helped the lunch line move faster. Although there wasn’t a juke box to play the latest hits, stu- dents didn’t mind. Not everybody goes through the lunch line, though. Some students and faculty, ‘brown-bag’ their lunch, and some don’t eat at all, using their lunch period as a ‘social hour’. But whatever the lunch period is used for, it’s a welcome break in the everyday routine of classes. While waiting in line for lunch, students have time to worry about what their next class holds in store. Lunchtime offers students a chance to socialize as well as satisfy their need for food. Gossip seems to take priority over eating, as Wanda Smith and Debbie Snipes discuss the latest rumors. 32 Lunch OB Deciding he’s had enough, Steve Hardnett is depressed at the thought of having to depart with his tray. After eating everything on his tray, Doug Jackson still has some room left for a tasty napkin. Escaping the lunchroom scene Mr. Turner, Phillip Neighbors, Tina Bowles, Joel Franklin, and Tom Evans catch up on the latest gossip. Lunch 33 ‘ Always and Forever’’ “Have you bought your dress for the Ring Dance yet?”’ “Who are you taking to the Ring Dance?” “Are ya’ll going out to eat before the Ring Dance?” After weeks of planning, the big night finally came for many anxious Juniors. Girls in brand new long dresses decorated with fresh fl owers and guys in handsome tuxs casually strolled into the Forest Recreation Center anticipating an exciting even- ing. The Vistitones, a popular local band, started the night off right by playing ‘‘Always and Forever”, the theme of the dance. And these Juniors weren’t shy at all because the floor was full of fancy dancers almost before the band started playing. After about ninety minutes of good boogie music, the band took a break and students assembled themselves for the Ring Ceremony. Anne Cardwell, President, called out the name of each attending Junior, while secretary, Maye Mitchell presented them with Class Rings for their es- corts to place on the empty fingers. Pictures of the couples, in a wicker chair and fern background, were taken by a local studio. Waiting in line for Ring Dance pictures, Juniors and their dates take a break from “boogying”’. Memories of the “78” Junior Ring Dance are stored away as couples relax to a slow song. 34 Ring Dance Finding different points of interest, Mark Stone and Cindy Jennings wait in line for their pictures. Johnny West keeps an eye open to make sure he stays in step with his dancing partner. “Getting Down’’ A guest dances to the music of the Vistatones. “Always and Forever’’ was the theme of the Junior Ring Dance, bringing people closer together in a sentimental atmosphere. Teresa Riley and Tony Perrow sway to the music. Good Music and good company make for an enjoyable evening for Susie Robertson, as can be seen by the smile on her face.

One person couldn’t possibly do all of the work necessary to put out an issue of the Devil’s Ad- vocate or one volume of the Owl. It takes many people working together and cooperation from each one to ex- ert enough effort to accomplish the task.

But in the end, all of the hard work pays off. Everyone is left with a feeling of ac- complishment when the final copies come in and the hours of work are in print. And the special closeness that exists among staff members makes it all worth while. A literary magazine containing the writings and artwork of students was published by members of both staffs this year.

Three foreign languages are taught here. French, Latin and Spanish. All three teach the culture of the countries, with the primary emphasis placed on the language. The French classes have been learning some of th e traditional French songs; Latin students study ancient history and mythology; while the third year Spanish students learn the history of the Spanish language and its people. Through the study of foreign languages and countries, students may become more aware of the rest of the world and our relationship to it. French jokes always seem better than American jokes, as Gaye Rafferty and Kelly Jones discover. 44 Foreign Language Pretending to be an expert seamstress, Tami Tyree takes part in a Spanish play. Learning the difference between their right and left hands, first year Spanish students go back to basics. “‘Voila!”’ Annette Duke adds the finishing touches to the mural of Mrs. Jones’ French classroom. Staring into space, Sheree Rorrer imagines herself walking the streets of ancient Rome. Foreign Language 45 re Experiencing New Cultures � . For those students who are in- terested in learning the customs and language of foreign countries, the French, Spanish and Latin Clubs are opened to any student enrolled in these classes. The Foreign Language Clubs hold frequent meetings in which they study, play games, and eat food from their countries. In addition to having meetings, those members who were interested had the opportunity to visit their country during the ten days of Spring break. The students who were for- tunate enough to go were able to put all of their accumulated knowledge to use. Talking about combining business with pleasure!

People are always ordering for their moms, dads, and don’t forget the kid next door who bummed a ride to the game. But no matter what, the Monogram Club members will faithfully wait on you anyway. Just like football season, selling refreshments during basketball games can be just as hectic. This chore is left to the Varsity Club, who get their chance for equal rights, so keep on cooking guys! . Now that the novelty of coed gym classes has become a thing of the past, the only thing left to do is to pick on each other and try to show each other up. The girls show up the guys in coordination and gym suits, but they leave the strength feats to the males.

Upperclassmen in Advanced Math learned to solve problems using trigonometry and the wizzards in Analysis-Calculus class calculated the direction of vectors and figured statistics for everything from horse races to highway death totals. Underclassmen had their share of difficult work, too! Working problems, ‘simple’ Algebra and the Pythagorean theorem were all part of the ‘younger’ math classes.

Government, a course which all Seniors are required to take, teaches students of the working of the U.S. political system. 54 Social Studies Whoever it was that said history was boring has never been in one of our Social Studies classes. An occasional game of Bingo in a U.S. History class was nothing un- usual and playing Current Events Jeopardy against Mrs. Davis’ Govern- ment class was the highlight of many a student’s week. Besides playing games, most Social . Studies students also found time to work on various projects throughout the year. World History students created replicas of architecture from the ancient world. Us ing information from the text books and other resources, many U.S. History stu- dents wrote articles on important historical events of their choice. After the work was completed, the History students enjoyed several field trips to historical sites of Virginia. A mock election on November the 4th sponsored by the Government classes gave students a chance to vote _ for the candidates of their choice. Af- =o ter all of the ballots were counted, the winners were announced, and the results were compared to those from the State election on November 8th. While studying the court system, Government students also par- ticipated in a ‘mock trial’. They arranged their classroom to resemble a courtroom to give their project the right effect. Then each student played an important part in making the trial an exciting learning ex- perience. After the ‘mock trial’ was over, the Government classes visited a District Circuit Court to observe the ‘real thing’. Economics-Sociology class gave students a chance to enter the world of stocks and bonds, as well as study the customs and habits of societies around the world with traditions dif- ferent from our own.

Everybody wants things differently, and the S.C.A. has to try to please everybody. You can imagine what kind of job that is! Difficult or not, the S.C.A. did a pretty good job of pleasing the stu- dent body. Meetings usually took place during first period in sponsor Mr. Reichard’s chemistry room. This is where the planning for the year’s events took place. Instead of the usual Homecoming Parade, the S.C.A. decided a carnival would be new and exciting. They also planned the S.C.A. elections for Homecoming King and Queen. The S.C.A. also contributed $50 to help send Lisa DeHart and Paula Morrell to Washington state for a track meet. Yes, the S.C.A. has a big respon- sibility; to please the student body. They introduced some new ideas. Getting involved in the S.C.A. gives students a hand at being leaders.

But the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y gave it their best shot. They did a pretty good job! The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y carried out their theme of ‘Service’ through various community and school service projects. They spent a whole after- noon raking leaves for an elderly cou- ple in the area. As a Christmas pro- ject, they decorated a Christmas tree, which they gave to a local elderly cou- ple. They also donated to ‘Toys for Tots’. Here at school, the Hi-Y members sponsored a Christmas stocking raf- fle. A big stocking was filled with all kinds of candy. Mrs. Braford was lucky enough to win it. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y have also been involved in money making pro- jects such as selling balloons at foot- ball games, selling donuts at the Homecoming Carnival, and raffling off the Homecoming football. Each year, the clubs send delegates to the Model General Assembly (MGA), which involves each club preparing a bill that is to be voted on in Assembly. The delegates work on committees, debate, and otherwise simulate the workings of an actual General Assembly. In working to help others, and bet- ter themselves, members of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs are having a lot of fun, while they learn the workings of their government.

So the Business Department offers several courses for professional, and personal use. Instruction on banking, insurance, credit, investment, and business careers, is offered in General Business classes. Personal typing is available for students who wish to learn typing for their own use, and also more ad- vanced typing is offered for those who want to further their skills. Stenography I and II teach skills in shorthand, typing, filing and office work for all of the future secretaries. Steno also tries to give students some idea of how to operate the latest office machines. In Bookkeeping, students learn to keep accurate financial records as a preparation for a future business career. With all of these courses, there seems to be something for everyone who has a business orientated mind. Wonder how many of the guys who took typing will end up being secretaries for a WOMAN? ct La Eh! What’s up Doc?!

Members of this club are ac- tive in money making projects, business skills competition, and publicizing the club through FBLA Week. Posters and bulletins are put up in various places around the school dur- ing FBLA Week and club members travel to Longwood College to com- pete in such areas as public speaking, typing, and shorthand skills. A new project of the club this year was to make a film which will be used to encourage younger students to sign up for future business courses. Selling Krispy Kreme donuts to students and teachers was the most successful money making project of the FBLA. Everybody wants to buy those! A few of the business students who signed up for a study hall were able to gain experience working as an Office Assistant. Helping the secretaries, Office Assistants are responsible for answering the telephone, selling game tickets, writing passes to class, and running errands for the administra- tion and faculty. Also a few study hall students were chosen to be library workers. Some of their duties were to check out books, straighten magazines and tables, check students in and out of the library, and run errands for teachers and librarians. Although these students receive no credit, they help the school by putting their free time to good use. Ready for distribution, the donuts sold an- nually by the FBLA sit waiting to be gobbled up.

These topics may seem unrelated, yet they are some of the topics that are studied in Vocational Agriculture. This proves the common misconception that Vocational Agriculture just taught cow milking and barn cleaning isn’t true. On the contrary, Vocational Agriculture provides a wide variety of experiences which would be of value even to someone who doesn’t plan to go into the field of Agriculture. The FFA, a club whose members must be enrolled in a Vocational Agriculture class, is a very active organization. Members compete with other schools in areas such as crop judging and tractor driving. FFA members are required to keep records on all of their farming business. Lt: With the ever increasing complex- ity of farming methods, the farmer must be a businessman, mechanic, and agriculture specialist. Vo. Ag. has evolved to meet these demands and to prepare students for a variety of trades in the field of Agriculture. Always prepared, the Agriculture classes keep plenty of wood on hand. Agriculture 65 Paint brushes and varnish are the tools of Home Economics students Lisa Layne, Suzanne Harvey, Betty Sherwood and Anita Blankenship as they learn to refinish furniture. Lending A Helping Hand The theme of the Future Homemaker’s Club this year, “‘Help- ing Hand’, was practiced by the members in many ways. Among many other projects, these girls fre- quently visited a Senior Citizen and sponsored two orphans at the Miller Home in Lynchburg. Because of the ever increasing problem of child abuse in our society, the Home Economics Classes placed a special emphasis on parenting this year. Other topics of study included clothing construction, consumer education, and foods and nutrition. Some of the classes even learned to refinish furniture. The Home Economics Classes and the FFA not only concentrated on the cooking and sewing aspects of homemaking, but they also provided a well-rounded view of all of the responsibilities of a homemaker. By showing their concern for others in lending a ‘helping hand’ whenever they could, these girls learned the art of making a successful community as well as a successful home. With the Women’s Liberation Movement going on strong, it’s nice to know that there are still some who feel it’s important to learn the arts of homemaking.

A lot of practical knowledge is taught in Distributive Education Classes to prepare students for life in the outside world. Food and Marketing, Sales Demonstrations, and Job Interviews are just a few of the future, pre} ra career in D.E. es the many areas covered in this three year program. DECA, a club made up of D.E. Students, is active in com- peting with area school in events that are both practical and educational. For those students who like to work with geometric figures and are in- terested in a possible future in architechture, Mechanical Drawing is the class to take. First year students are exposed to the fundamentals of oP architecture. After working with T- squares, rulers and two triangles for a year, second year Mechanical Draw- ing students are ready to tackle the task of drawing up blue prints. So whether it’s D.E. or Mechanical Drawing, students are able to learn many useful practices. Precision is of the utmost importance as Tim Crance has learned in Mechanical Drawing class. Mechanical Drawing 69 Express Yourself Imagination, time, and hard work went into this oil painting by Robert Pauley. Oil painting requires a sharp eye and a steady hand, and Eagle Eyes Tim Crance has trouble with neither. What is one subject that requires a student’s individuality and _ per- sonality to be expressed on every piece of work? You guessed it! Art. This class gives students the chance to work with ceramics, oil painting, sculpture, assorted drawing techniques, and countless other areas. But what do they do with all of the finished work? Most students who belong to the Art Club keep in mind all through the year that they would like to have some of their work dis- played in the Spring Art Exhibit. So they work hard on their projects until they come up with a ‘master-piece’ to enter in the exhibit. A few of the more advanced and talented students prepare and display ‘One Man Shows’. The Art Club also sold “spin-art”’ and RHS T-Shirts at the Homecom- ing Carnival to raise money to go to the Virginia Museum in Richmond. Dressing the school up for the holi- days was the duty of the Art Classes this year. Beautiful Christmas door decorations were hung for everyone to enjoy. In addition to all of this, the Art students participated in several local exhibits, including the Campbell County Fair and the Lynchburg Kaleidoscope Festival. 70 Art Basket weaving gives Jana Mason a sense of accomplishment and a brand new basket!

And that the Girl’s Volleyball Team made it to the tourna- ments? And how about the winning season that our Basketball Team had? Now that’s something to talk about! It has always been human nature for people to compete against one another. This year the spirit of competition and winning seemed to be the theme among our players, coaches and spectators. But more important than winning was the fact that our athletes worked together to make teams that played together, to make our Sports year ONE OF A KIND. Proudly displaying their school’s rank, Mr. Pendleton and Tony Perrow line up the letters on the front news sign. Sports 83 Pat yourself on the back, Rustburg! You’ve done it again! With the loss of seven all-district players, no one outside of Rustburg thought the Devils would even come out with a winning record. The young team proved them wrong with a season’s record of 9-1, the third straight District Championship title for the Red Devils, another Coach-of- the-Year award for Ray Wade, and another playoff berth. Beginning with a low scoring 12-7 victory over Jefferson Forrest, the season seemed to be off to a slow start. The players came back the following Friday and narrowly edged Liberty and their “superstar Avery Anderson”, 14-12, sparked by Mauri Anderson’s 90 yard kickoff return touchdown. Appomattox was the first to bring on a big score. The offensive game showed it could be potent too, as Mauri Anderson scored two TD’s and gained 98 yards rushing. Ken Anthony threw a 20 yard scoring strike to Bobby Bass as the Devils overwhelmed the Raiders 22-3. The team brought a better offen- sive game and more confidence into Lancer Stadium as the Amherst Lan- cers entertained the much improved Red Devils. Rustburg struck first with a 5-yard plunge by Anderson and went ahead 8-0 with the two-point conversion. Later on an Amherst run- ning back was tackled in his own end zone by Greg Saunders, giving us a 10-0 lead. Scoring after a bad snap on a punt, the Lancers found themselves on the board 10-6. Rustburg had to rely on much im- proved Earston Hewitt to defeat the Gretna Hawks. Hewitt picked up the slack as he gained 134 yards scoring two touchdowns as the undefeated Red Devils triumphed 24-0. The stage was set for the Seminole unbeatens as Rustburg traveled to Naruna to contend with William Campbell’s Generals. The enthusiastic Rustburg crowd was dismayed as the Generals ran the opening play of the ball game 70 yards cont. 84 Varsity Football t’s the Red ‘“‘Rustburg takes the title Working together is the secret, as Bobby Bass proves, by blocking out two defensive players, allowing Mauri Anderson to score against Nelson for a 36-12 Homecoming victory. am oo!

Sophomores Ken Anthony and Mike Payne ‘came of age’, as the young duo connected on a 57 yard bomb. Moments later instant replay was shown, as Anthony hit Payne on a 56 yard pass, going on to defeat the previously undefeated Generals 28-6. All good things must come to an end, as with Rustburg’s unblemished record. The powerful AAA Heritage Pioneers handed the Devils their first defeat, 21-0, in a game in which the smaller Red Devils were outclassed and out manned. It was back to Rustburg. Realizing that much work was needed, the team worked hard towards their goal of “three in a row.”’ The hard work paid Nervously watching the offense in a tight game against Brookville, Greg ‘Jughead’ Mason is totally oblivious to everything but the final seconds, as the Devils pull out a 14-6 win. 1977 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM — (front row): manager Maurice Jones, Richard VanBlarican, Tim Yates, Doug Crowther, Mell Keenan, Ray Keenan, Terrall May, David Fit- tro, Thurmond Lewis, Ken Anthony (second row): Keith Dalton, Steve Farmer, Steve Hod- nett, Bobby Tweedy, Ricky Turpin, David Coles, Dennis Dawson, Mike Pannell, Arthur Jones, Tony Trent, Carlton Cash, Leevel Lewis, Roy Elliott, Mike Payne, Tim Doss manager (third row): manager Leland Gibson, Tony Perrow, Lloyd Payne, Danny Pollard, 86 Varsity Football off, Rustburg was back in form with a 38-12 shellacking of Nelson County. Earston Hewitt highlighted Homecoming evening with a touchdown return on the opening kickoff. Looking beyond Altavista to Brookville, the Devils almost let a 16- 12 lead slip away from them in the fourth quarter. Altavista, realizing this, drove down inside the 10. Thanks to our powerful and quick recovering defense, which was relied on a lot, we once again came out on top 16-12. Finally, the last game of the season; with none other than archrival Brookville. This would decide it all. Brookville could not sur- vive our firey Devils, suffering a 14-6 loss, which handed us a 9-1 record and the District Title! Then, to make the playoff final, William Campbell fell to Jefferson Forrest. It was all ours! We came a long way, Rustburg,. and we had to work for it! Give your- selves a hand. Well, now it was Covington to con- tend with. For two years the Devils had lost in the Regional playoffs. November 12 was the big day. Char- tering bus loads to William Byrd High School in Vinton, Rustburg found themselves outclassed, out- played, and out of the playoffs, losing 36-0 on a cold, snowy, unforgettable day. Successfully tackling another Nelson runner, Ken Hirtz, 27, Wayne Elliott, 14, and Butch Trent, 35 help guarantee a 36-12 victory. ¥ a Ps te. 4 A Steve Tucker, Billy Roberts, Greg Saunders, John Hirtz, Bubba Rosser, Marc Stone, Alvin Smith, Greg Paige, Ken Jones, Calvin James, Alfred Smith, Jerome Elliott, Ken Jones manager (back row): Jeff Childress, David Gallier, Jay Blankenship, Larry Gallier, Ken Hirtz, Mauri Anderson, Bobby Bass, Mike Markham, Earston Hewitt, Steve Hunt, Jeff Scott, Greg Mason, Greg Dolsey, Wayne Elliott, Bobby Saunders, Bob Shumaker, Ray- mond Conley, Clarence Trent manager.

Practicing hours on end made this possible for Beth Garner, Becky Burnette, Rhonda Mitchell, Jean Franklin, Jane Yates, Laurie Franklin, Gloria Jones, Tonya Roberts and Tami Tyree. A different kind of year Every year we all seem to think that all cheerleaders are the same as the last group. All they do is go out on the football field and cheer. We were wrong! This year the squad decided to be different. They didn’t change everything, but just added a little originality. The ’77-78 motto, ‘GO FOR IT”, brought a new meaning to Rustburg. Translated it means ‘strive for perfec- tion’, which the Red Devils set out to do. Decorating the locker rooms, lockers, halls, people and everything else they could find brought out the enthusiasm and school pride in almost everyone. The famous ‘silent cheer’ started at the Amherst game carried on until the end of the season. A new symbol of spirit at Rustburg, Booshka, a stuffed devil head, was carried to all the games to cast his spell over the opposing team and on all of the new cheers that seemed to suit only Rustburg. Besides all of the practicing, pep rallies, spirit circles and cooking food, the Varsity Football cheerleaders carried on the tradition of making this school something to be proud of. Arousing pep and enthusiasm, captain Becky Burnette and co-captain Jane Yates bring the crowd to their feet. Providing pep at an afternoon pep rally, Laurie Franklin, Beth Garner, and Rhonda Mitchell go through a routine to the music of the band.

That’s what Coach Robert Miller drilled into his players’ heads. From the first practice until the last game. And that’s what he got. Pre-season practice brought out in- experienced and summer-softened players, as the whole team sweated out mistakes and toughened their _ bodies; while putting in long hours of hard work before the first game. _ Rewards for the strain of the last _ month of practice came in the first two games as the Baby Devils came out victorious over Liberty, 14- 0, and foie Appomattox, 146.

Rain cancelled the game against Monelison, so the Devils had two weeks to prepare for Nelson. The _ Baby Governors proved to be no trou- ble, as the Red’s walked away with a 22-6 win. ‘The Altavista game proved to be an - astonishing surprise to the Players, coaches and the rest of the school. The Devils literally crushed Altavista, 76-0. This scoring was the highest ever achieved by a football team at Rustburg.

Hard hit by graduation, the Devilettes lost an all- district performer, Vicki Charleton and another reliable starter, Georgia Elliot. The consquences of inex- perience in a team with only one Senior was to prove costly for the girls in the first six games of the season, all of which they lost. Liberty was the opponent for the seasons opener at home. The Minettes seemed to have the makings of a championship team as they defeated the Devilettes, 25-57. The Gretna Hens also proved to be a con- tender as the girls lost again, 28-46. The first away game is always an exciting one. When the Devilettes traveled to Jefferson Forest, they showed the first glimmer of brilliance as they fought back from a seventeen point deficit to lose in a tough 36-45 decision. Rhonda Mitchell led Rustburg in scoring with 18 points. Over the Christmas Holidays, the girls traveled to Altavista to take on three other teams in the annual Altavista Christmas Tournament. In the opening round, the Devilettes lost to Liberty, 32-46. The following night they dropped the consolation game to Altavista, 28-37. Betty Jackson came alive in the next game against Altavista. In a close 28-36 loss, Betty hit 12 of the Devilettes 28 points. The girls really needed a win at this stage, and win they did! For the next three games, the Devilettes played almost perfect ball. In the first win, Jackson hit 17 as Rustburg downed Amherst County, 37-32. Appomattox was the Devilettes next win as Betty Jackson hit 12 points to spark a 36-30 victory. Arch-rivals always provide a good contest, and the Rustburg-Brookville game was not exception. In a Barn- burner that went down to the very last shot, Brookville was defeated 38- 37 as Jackson had another hot night, hitting 20. Gretna brought a minor set-back as they defeated the Devilettes 32-35. In spite of this, the girls went on to win their next two games, downing Jef- ferson Forest 48-42, and William Campbell 57-47. The Devilettes then hit a slow streak, loosing five games before Rustburg troops and Miss Bell anxiously await for their victory celebration after another win.

Driving around an Amherst opponent, Donna Franklin scores on an easy layup. The opening of basketball season brought great expectations to Coach Bonnie Jennings as she surveyed the prospects for the coming games. After a very successful first year season for the girls J.V.’s last year, Jennings hoped to continue the winning tradi- tion. And at the end of the season, she and her team had proved that they had. Hard’ work and much preparation saw to it that the players were ready for Jefferson Forest in the season opener. After a close first half, the Devilettes broke it open and won easily 50-17, with Melva McDaniels at 17 points. . But success was short lived. In a tough game which included a great comeback by Rustburg, the Devilettes bowed, 13-28. Getting back on the winning track could have been hard but for the ex- pert guidence of Coach Jennings and the team leadership of Melva McDaniel and Donna Franklin. In a repeat performance against Jefferson- Forest, Rustburg walked to an easy win, 57-33. After two easy wins over Amherst and Appomattox (66-24 and 36-28) Rustburg bowed in a tough loss to William Campbell, 22-38. Poor shooting also proved to be a factor in a second loss to Gretna, 31-41. Altavista provided the victory for the next game, and Rustburg soundly thrashed the Colonelettes, 54-25, with EveMenviactecvelelbel-ael-yuceyurel-beCe=m ohamly (caizc] McDaniels (25 points). : A loss to Amherst, 36-45, a win against Appomattox, 43-30, and a second loss to William Campbell, 26- 40, set the team’s record at 6-5 with two games remaining in the season. Liberty fell in a 45-34 decision, but Jefferson-Forest upset the Devilettes in the last game of the season, 30-33. Taking her opponent to the hoop, Melva McDaniel ties the score with Amherst.

Rustburg has quite a few dedicated to the sport. Lisa DeHart and Paula Morrell both qualified to run in the National Junior Olympics in Washington State. Lisa finished 55th and Paula finished 56th. Both felt it was quite an experience and that they had done well. Also, foreign exchange student Jukka Kemppi helped the cross country team to a third place finish in the district. Tim James, otherwise called the ‘Sky King’, proved his ability by breaking the state high jump record and making a new 6’8”’ leap. Leland Gibson set a new school indoor pole vault record of 12 feet. Congratula- tions to all track members who finished second in state competition. With outdoor track coming up soon, everyone is looking forward to new records and a probable first place finish in the District.

In order to fill the graduation require- ments, these students had to attend summer school for at least one sum- mer. There they gained the credits and took the required subjects they needed to graduate. When asked why they wanted to finish high school in three years, many. early graduates replied: “I’m just tired of school” or “I want to hurry up and finish high school so I can get a job.” Surprisingly enough, many early graduates wanted to hurry through high school in order to start their college career and some even wanted to get married. Some students who had birthdays in the months of October and Novem- ber, chose to graduate early so that they could be in the class with more people their own age. Whatever their reasons, early graduates were accepted into the ‘Mighty Class of ’78”!

Senior Deborah Pollard makes the kites she flies! Deborah has been making kites from scratch for about a year. She got started when her youth group at White’s Providence-Charge church sponsored a kite making and flying contest for all ages. Out of about twenty-five partici- pants, Deborah’s kite won first place for most original, an honorable mention for the prettiest kite and first for highest flown kite in the contest. The kite went so high it couldn’t be seen from the ground, and a plane almost hit it! The kite is a combination of a box kite and a W-kite, measuring forty-two inches wide and sixty- four inches tall. Presently, Deborah is working on another kite which is going to be almost twice the first kite’s size and will be shaped like a Chinese pagoda. Hopefully, the kite will be entered in other local kite contests. Ribbons won by Debra Pollard for kite making hang from one of her handmade kites.

This right must be earned by students who have taken a full load during their first three years of high school. Then they have to arrange their schedules so that they complete the graduation requirements. Most early release stu- dents take no less than two and no more than four classes. Students, such as Lynne Phillips who works at Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, chose to be on early release to have time for work ex- perience.

What would be a good way to beautify a school? Besides taking out the classrooms and getting rid of the teachers. Right! Paint murals on the walls. Blossoming young artist, Greg Paige did a big part last summer to beautify a school. He was contracted to paint murals from famous children’s literature in the halls of | Concord Elementary School. Mrs. Gerberich, the principal of Concord Elementary School, had seen a painting that Greg had done, and she was quite impressed with his work. She approached him about painting the murals, and Greg ex- 140 Juniors citedly accepted the proposal. _ He painted eight murals of scenes from books such as Charlotte’s Web, Tom Sawyer, and The Wizard of Oz. Each scene took him from about two days to a week to complete. Greg plans to either go into the field of Commercial Art or to become a free lance artist. When asked if he enjoyed his wor at the elementary school, Greg replied, “Yes, but I sure didn’t enjoy cleaning the brushes!” Well, that’s a hindrance that all painters must face. You're not alone, Greg. Scene from Charlotte’s Web, painted by Greg Paige, decorates the wall at Concord Elementary School.

Clubs, sports and other activities all offer the opportunity for experience. There’s something for each individual. As Sophomores, there’s no need to take a back row seat and observe the others because of inexperience. The Sophomores know the routine almost inside and out now. They’re on the second rung of the ladder, and getting fired up to take the step to the third rung.

Just ask Sophomore Debbie Maxey! Debbie has been racing go-carts for about three years. She is in a racing club which travels once a month to a different location in the state to race; either on oval tracks or road courses. Debbie also races locally in Monroe - and Halifax. The go-carts themselves must weigh no more than 145 pounds. With Debbie inside, it checks in at 265 lbs. Debbie and her father buy the frames and the motors, and her father puts them together himself. Debbie reaches speeds up to 80 mph. The races are run in classes; either by age limit or by the way the motor _is set up. For her wins, Debbie has received over 40 trophies. She has also won three turkeys!

How many Sophomore students can say they have already started the college courses for their careers? Sophomore Sharon Shanaberger has already planned her future and begun her college education! _ Sharon is planning to be a psy- chologist for the deaf, and is pres- ently enrolled in a beginner’s course of sign language. The course is of- fered for credit at Central Virginia Community College. Sharon has been studying the ‘language of the hands” for about six months. She got interested in sign language when she met a friend who was deaf, and couldn’t talk to him. Right then, she decided to learn. Sharon’s class meets every Tues- day night for three hours. They aren't just your everyday routine classes either! No talking at all is allowed in class except with the use of sign language with the hands. Even free- time talking must be done in sign language. Because of the unique communication devices, there is no possible written work to be done. Sound great? But! There are books that are used! An intermediate course in sign language is offered this spring and Sharon plans to take it. The inter- mediate course involves the actual conversing with deaf people. She will continue her study throughout high school and on through college. The earlier the better! Practicing her sign language, Sharon Shanaberger is caught right in the middle of a sentence.

Sophomores must tics during their lunch take a semester of classroom instruc- tion in Driver’s Education and pass a test given by the DMV to obtain their learner’s permit. They must be fifteen years and eight months old and have permission from a parent. The learn- er’s permit licenses them to drive when accompanied by the holder of a valid operator’s license. To get an operator’s license, the Sophomore has to take about 12 hours of driving range and ‘on the road’ un- der a certified instructor. At age sixteen, a short driving test is taken to prove that they are capable drivers. And, if passed, they are issued their driver’s permit!

Wouldn’t it be fun to spend a summer in a different state working at a job that is hundreds of years old? That’s just what Sophomore Thurmond Lewis did this past sum- mer. Thurmond went to Buckland, Conn. to pick tobacco for the Hartman Tobacco Company. He worked eight hours a day for six days a week. The Company sup- plied living quarters and meals. The living quarters are actually a huge house with bunks at each end. It is called ‘camp’. All the meals are. served here; breakfast at 5:45. Each picker selects a partner to work with. These two are partners for the entire summer. They take turns picking and dragging. Dragging means picking up the tobacco pads (twelve stacked leaves) and placing them in a basket. The basket can hold up to 36 pads. The usual length of the tobacco leaves is 12 to 14 inches long. The first picking, the bottom three leaves of the stalk are picked. If they’re not at least 12 inches long, they are thrown on the ground and K i | ¥ Telling of his experiences picking tobacco in Connecticut this summer, Thurmond Lewis shows the size of the pile of money he made. the picker goes to the next stalk. If every stalk is not picked, it is termed ‘skipping leaves’. Getting caught at this results in a penalty. The tobacco field is divided into ‘bents’. A bent is 10 rows, or 5 dou- ble rows, wide; the bents, per row length, vary. It takes 188 bents (picked) to receive a day’s pay. A bent is worth 10 cents. A day’s pay is worth how many bents each worker is able to pick. During the week, after 5:30, the workers can go into town, but must be back by 8:00, except on Tues- days when a minister comes to give — a sermon. oe According to Thurmond, “It gets weary’. But it’s worth the pay to stay the whole summer. Plus, it’s a great experience!

Once they grow accustomed to the atmosphere, the upperclassmen, the faculty and their classes, the freshmen settle right in and become old hands at the art of high school life. They even learn to be a major competitor for the spirit awards. The Freshmen finally realize that they’re not the outcasts everybody makes freshmen out to be. They have become one of the sections that make us a whole. They have some fun and exciting high school years ahead to look forward to and enjoy.

And who was responsible for cleaning up around some of the schools and churches? Well, the Campbell County Recreation Department under the direction of Mr. Ron Reynolds of Evington, sponsored the playground sites, but Freshman Terry Bradley, along with Junior Roy Elliott, was responsible for the actual cleaning. Under the supervision of John Cardwell, a 1975 graduate of RHS, Terry and Roy saw to it that the playgrounds stayed in good s hape for the area children to have organized recreation during the summer months. A mobile unit, consisting of recre- ation leaders and equipment, traveled to certain playgrounds daily to direct various activities. According to Terry, he and Roy Careful planning of his personal time schedule is mandatory for Terry Bradley who _ worked 40 hrs. for the recreation dept. worked 8:00-5:00, five days a week, cleaning county playgrounds. — Terry commented that the work was not very hard, but they had to keep it up. It must have been a — rewarding job to provide nice places _ for children to keep occupied during the much too short vacation. : Gary Campbell Kevin Campbell Doyle Cardwell Anne Carson Larry Carwile James Chapman Harry Charlton Lisa Charlton Vincent Cheahtan Torcee Childress Steve Coleman David Coles Lisa Collins Lynn Cook Jennifer Crance Keith Crawford Quatina Cunningham Chris Dalton Deborah Dalton Darrel Danos Joy Davis Vicky Davis Michele DeHart Lorie Dixon Tanial Dixon Wendy Doss Sherry Dowdy James Dudley Beth Dunaway A.T.

Freshman Class 155 Makin’ a good show It’s a rare occurrence when a Freshman class takes the initiative to actively participate in Homecoming events. Yet, this year’s Freshman class went all out on Homecoming. They sponsored a bake sale, a softball toss, a dart throw at teachers’ pic- tures, and a cup cake walk. They managed to raise about one hundred twenty dollars for their class treasury. Not only did the Freshmen make an excellent showing during Homecoming, but they were a group of all around participators. They were into everything from cheerleading to the weather team. And one only has to listen to them yell at a pep rally to see how much spirit they have. The Freshman class was unique in keeping with the tradition of the school.

Charlene had to make sure that the temperature of the cages didn’t get over 70° because the animals could suffocate.

After taking a beginner’s class two years ago at 4-H camp which taught the basic skills of archery, Carla made a hobby out of target practicing with her 45 pound Cougar Bow. Unlike many people who use their archery skills to hunt animals, Carla has no desire to kill. Now don’t get the impression that Carla spent all of her summer vacation shooting at motionless targets. That would tend to get boring, wouldn’t it? Instead of spending long hours practicing by herself, Carla invited friends over, usually her boyfriend, Senior Robert Shumaker, to compete with her at target practicing. ‘JT wonder which one of them hit the most bulleyes?”’ Mishel Wood Sandra Wooldridge Freshman Class 161 Taking a break from the rigors of Guidance, Mr.; Hight Dotson enjoys a’ snack. 162 Faculty Controlling ‘the noisy.

Se ane Nien eenoatanieeneninpiicaen, ie eee Ce ‘ € = | ' = : : Just because you come to the last page of the yearbook doesn’t mean you’ll never open it again. You’Il open it again and again to enjoy the memories of the year we all shared together. We shared that One of a Kind Year that sometimes happens only once in a lifetime. We were on the top of the dis- trict ladder, and we loved it. Somehow, being number one not only made us proud, it brought us closer together. We weren’t just students, we were one stu- dent body. So, everytime you open the yearbook, from the first page to the last, remem- ber our year. Because we were the kind of school that is only found when every person pulls together to make the spirit the highest it can be and the students the closest they can get. We made the entire year the best it could be. We made it One of a Kind.
