Certainly not the teachers and students of E- wing, who didn’t even have those screaming intercoms until October. Whatever 1980 was to Rustburg High School, it was not predictable. Great, lousy, fantastic, poor, mediocre, ex- ceptional, average — but never predictable. Like a careful twist in a good mystery, Kustburg’s year held many unexpected events for its people. Ineeome word os mat Rustburg High School was: a surprise. Opening 7 Campus life at Rustburg High School underwent somewhat of a change in 1980. On the surface, aside from the ob- vious physical changes in campus life, Rustburg students acted in about the same way as their predecessors had acted, moving along from day to day, easily countering the less pleasant side of a student’s life with a few more enjoyable extras. Getting up in the morning was as hard as it had ever been; eating Monday Meat was still pretty tough; watching a good Red Devil team beat the pants off of some unlucky team was as satisfying as it had be en ten years ago. Still, 1980 was to bring some very definite changes to campus life at Rustburg. Costs soared, job oppor- tunities dwindled, and even nations changed allegiances. Although the basic framework of campus life remained un- changed, 1980 brought one surprise af- ter another to Rustburg High School. 8 Campus Life Lite pe oe Summertime’s fun time Somehow, the summer ends before you realize it. Those three months are never long enough for all the good times that are there for the taking. It feels so good, having all that free time. Just about everybody came back to school with a summertime story to tell. There were beach stories, all about the nightlife and the good times and the ocean. Some people told all about their summer jobs and the troubles they had working. And there were some who came back to school with smiles because their summer had been ab- solutely horrible, and they were looking forward to school. Sometimes you ex- pect a lot more of summer than you ac- tually get. Some of those summertime stories were based on school-related activities. Students like Kelly Jones, Tania Livolsi, and Melva McDaniel had memories of Girl's State to share, and Darryl Tucker, Ed Fletcher, and Charles Rath had some Boy's State stories to relate, also. Steve Farmer brought home a wealth of remembrances from his month at the Governor’s School for the Gifted. Not all students spent their summer in the sun. Sure, summer ended all too soon for some, but the stories last a lifetime. Rainy days make for restless kids. Sidelined by a sudden summer cloudburst, Dawn Kidd watches over a neighbor’s small child. 10 Summer Helpless in the clutches of his two young friends, David Walthall whiles away the summer hours by doing some dangerous babysitting. Girls’ State veterans Melva McDaniel, Tania Livolsi, and Kelly Jones spend an October morn- ing leafing through magazines. Busch Garden’s lovable George the Dragon makes a close friend for Debby Ferguson. Lakes are always a popular summer spot, and Tammy Thompson joins the crowd as a smiling sun-worshipper. Boys’ State delegates Ed Fletcher, Darryl Tucker, and Charles Rath find a moment between first and second periods to relive some special experiences at Lynchburg College. Summer 11 Business as usual Every student and faculty member had their own expectations about the opening of school. Some faculty mem- bers expected trouble from the student body as they adjusted to the new school, and some students expected a complete transformation in the campus life. And on that first:day of senool, ai- most everyone was surprised. [he open: ing of school went very smoothly, and some disappointed students leamed that a new high school didnt make a iot of difference in the people atoK.H.S. There was a lot to learn those first days. There was a@ lot that had to’ be ac: cepted; aiso, in the beginning of the year. The rain, which continued steadily for several weeks, dampened the spirits of many students as plans and football games had to be postponed. Even in a Grassy hills inake good beds for Rickie Jones and Charles Brooks as they stretch out on Cheerleader’s Hill at an early-season pep rally. 12 Opening of School classes students learned to accept the confusion of a new school and a new school year, as leaks sprung all over the school, and schedules were mixed-up for weeks. Not everything at the opening of school was new and unexpected, The jukebox, a familiar fixture from the old high school, was installed in the com- mons area the second week of school, and provided a little touch of “home” as studenis gathered around to hear the music, just like they have for years. “Getting off’ became almost as popular a lunchtime activity as eating. Although not everyone found exactly what they had expected, those first weeks of school, no one was really let down.

Here, Chemistry class member Brad Bailey inspects a useless eye-wash unit. The joke’s on us It was disappointing once you realized that the long-awaited new school wasn’t perfect—not by a long shot. After all, it was newly built, by human hands, and that left a lot of room for “bugs.” But since it was new, and ours, patience with the new school’s quirks ran low. When the commons area ceiling fell, the general comment was, “Why can’t they do anything right anymore?” When a teacher had to go to a room clear at the end of the hall to switch off the lights in a class at the other end, it was “What went wrong? Any fool could wire a building.” It got to be funny, though, once everyone began to grin and bear it. The whole bit about the wrong locks being put on the wrong doors got a few laughs, and every time the announce- ment came over the P.A. system saying “Anyone who cannot hear this an- nouncement, please report to the of- fice’, the reaction was darn near hilarious. People wondered when the problems would ever be cleared up. The bleachers took forever to install, the auditorium seemed a doomed cause, and mix-ups in book and furniture shipments took weeks to straighten out, but they were borne with a stiff upper lip by both faculty and student body. Sure, these “bugs” were irritating, but they added variety to those first few weeks of school. We didn’t expect all these problems, but we learned to live with them. Rushed by the ever-approaching basketball season, a solitary worker hastily assembles the bleachers in the new 2,000-seat gym.

Homecoming coordinator Kelly Jones briets photographer Jack Morgan on the position of the Court members prior to the halftime ceremonies Homecoming. The return of the parade Homecoming ’79 turned out to be one of the best surprises of the year. For the first time in three years, the parade was Homecoming’s main _ attraction, and with great success. Leading the parade were Dr. George Nolley, the new Campbell County School Superinten- dent, and Carter Elliott, Grand Marshals of the Homecoming parade. Once again, the Lynchburg Antique Car Club chauffeured the Court representatives and the Grand Marshals. A few changes in the traditional Homecoming made a world of difference in this year’s celebra- tion. One such change in Homecoming was that representatives in the Homecoming Court could be represen- tatives only once, and could not be in the Court again until their senior year. This rule brought many new faces into the Court this year. Kelly Jones, S.C.A. President and Homecoming’s organizer, led the Homecoming half-time festivities with the announcement of the winners of the float competition. First place went to the DECA float, second to the Art Club, and third to the Sophomore class. Winners were chosen for their outstanding inter- Homecoming King Steve Farmer congratulates Queen Sharon Shanaberger to signal the end of the halftime festivities.

County and a lot of high spirits on the part of the student body. Homecoming wound up its good times with a disco-dance featuring the “Disco Addicts.” The students boogied for hours, wanting to make Homecom- ing last just a little longer. Although it did have to end, Homecoming ’79 will be remembered. Homecoming °’79 came off beautifully, due to a lot of hard work on the part of the S.CA, and a lot of cooperation on the part of the student body. A little effort made Homecoming 79 worthwhile. Attempts to pin a slightly-oversized diaper into place keep Joni Fisher occupied, while Teresa Hiser and Leah Keesee look on. Campbell County School Superintendant Dr. George Nolley and Supervisor Carter Elliott travel down Main Street Rustburg in style as Grand Marshals of the Homecoming Parade. 18 Homecoming Many S.C. volunteers spent many long hours decorating the commons area with streamers and stars and made a beautiful and successful Homecoming dance possible. Forgotten after the Homecoming parade, the prize-winning sophomore class float sits aban- doned on the middle school track. Half of Homecoming’s theme is carried by varsity cheerleaders Teresa Childress, Kim Taylor, Kathy Anderson, and Devil Julie Johnson. The banner was part of the senior class portion of the parade. Homecoming 19 For the first time Lots of people thought that the open- ing of the new school would be the only big event of the year, that there would be few original happenings beyond ad- justing to the new facilities. That attitude underwent a few changes as the year progressed, and new_ occurrences started happening all around. Whether the new school somehow triggered a string of first-time events, or whether they were slated for RHS anyway, no one was sure. But the year was definitely filled with never-before happenings. The surprises started with the new facilities themselves. RHS had its first a la carte lunch line, and an elevator for the physically disabled. While lots of stu- dents often took advantage of the a la carte line, few ever even saw the doors so much as open on the elevator. But the idea was there; the elevator was a first. Not all the facility's first-timers were very helpful. Several rows of lockers, tired from being shifted from one hall to another, gave up to exertion and laid down in the hallways for several days. Hesitant to enter the first clean showers in Rustburg history, a pair of freshman feet begin their first bath of the year. 20 First Time Finally they were placed permanently in positions along the hallway walls. Other facility-firsts that got in many students’ way were the locker rooms. Once again, showers were required in physical education classes as the showers were new, roomy, and above all clean. But most of the first-time events had little to do with the school. October's bright blue weather was disturbed by the season’s first snow; area citizens were hard put to recall an earlier snow fall. Students instigated a few firsts, too. The varsity basketball cheerleaders had not only the first stuntmen on the squad at RHS, but the first males to appear on a cheerleading squad in the area in quite a while. The first production performed on the new auditorium stage was produced by the Speech and Drama class students. It was the first year in the new decade, the first year in the new school, the “first” in many ways. The new RHS, the new school year, and the Rustburg students made the 1979-80 school year a first in itself. Tossed salads and doughnuts get a quick going over by Clarence Riley and Donna Tweedy in the a la carte line. Quickly running down a long list of morning an- nouncements, Speech Drama student Tim Doss keeps students posted about the goings-on of the day. High atop the support of Tony Trent, Darryl Tucker, David Moore, Buddy White, and Robert O’Brien, stuntman Eddie Blankinshi proclaims the Red Devils as number one at ig ee of the Appomattox contest. bet biih erage ® cere nos REY Strategically positioned beside the commons area stairball Robert Cunningham, Terri Thomas and Billy Watson get ready to make a fast exit from first lunch.

Many students spent their after- school hours in practice, in club meetings, or in study for class projects. These people spent a little extra time helping out their class or enjoying them- selves in sports or school productions. Often those long after-school hours got in the way of a student’s homework or duties at home. Grades and chores may have suffered while someone played basketball or practiced for the spring musical, or stayed after school for a French club eat-in, but those hours devoted to extracurricular activities were just as important to those involved as other aspects of school. Not everyone really was aware of the amount of time that went into the building of a team; not just a group of students playing basketball, football or running track, but a team where the goals and the drive of each of the players was the same. That took quite a (continued) Set ablaze by fiery varsity football cheerleaders, the Brookville game bonfire draws hordes of stu- dents to its light and warmth.

Bringing welcome relief — in the form of a few new records — to students, an unknown jukebox worker makes some changes in a quiet after- school commons area. 24 After School 4 Instead of going home on while and a whole lot of after-school time to achieve. Not everyone devoted their after- school hours to school. Many students had jobs where they worked afternoons and evenings, along with their schoolwork. Sometimes juggling classwork and a job made those after- school hours a tough load. When students weren’t working in some form, there was always a little after-school fun. Some students went shopping; others took in early movies or a drive before going home. A few soap opera devotees rushed straight home to catch a few minutes of their idols on “General Hospital” or “The Edge of Night,” and to gaze at Jeff Webber or Miles Cavanaugh. After-school hours weren't dead moments caught between the end of the school day and bedtime; they were often the best times of the day. Taken to the mat by Brad Bailey's strong move, Tim Maxey fights for a reversal in one of coach Marshall Turner's long after-school practice ses- sions. Free from Terry Davis’ defensive attack during a practice game with the local recreation team, J.V. player Thomas Jefferson shoots for two points while teammate Mike Fariss waits for the rebound. Hastily taping down ring-toss pegs to a piece of cardboard, Ms. Debra Guthrie and Janet Eubank get their varsity basketball cheerleaders’ booth ready for the start of the Fall Carnival. After School 25 The easy way out Anyone ever caught in a long, boring day knew the only way out of the grind was to get out of class. Some days getting out of class was easy; the cheerleaders saved the day with a pep rally or someone broke the monotony with an assembly. From screaming stu- dent crowds to clowning faculty rein- deer, tired students found an occasional much-needed break. Some students didn’t mean to miss class, but somehow managed to skip out just the same. The Second Brigade and SODA partners were always ex- pected to miss a little time. FFA, FBLA, and DECA members found Club Day to be another routine-breaker in the monthly schedule. When all else failed, there was the old “try anything to get out of class” ap- proach. Students begged their way to lockers or bathrooms for a few minutes reprieve from class. Others didn’t have to beg — they were asked to leave by harassed teachers. After all, everyone — even teachers — needed a break sometime. : cod A Santa’s not-so-ordinary reindeer, faculty mem- bers Mr. Glenn Reichard, Mr. Ray Wade, Mr. Michael Bennett, and Santa himself, Mr. Earl Murray, dash away to the student body’s delight at the Christmas assembly. 26 Getting Out of Class Caught off guard by the supnene October snowstorm, Mr. Marshall Tumer hurries from his mechanical drawing class to the commons area.

Top of the charts School weeks could almost be charted on graph paper. You know, Mondays are really low on the curve, Tuesdays and Wednesdays rise steadily, Thursdays drop down almost to Mon- day’s level because of the veritable mountain of stuff due on Friday, and Fridays’ place on the graph reaches the top of the paper. Saturdays and Sun- days? Well, they just couldn’t be graphed. Weekends only lasted two days, but on Friday, who cared? It was easy on Friday afternoon to say, “Oh, I’ll get that paper written, clean my room, go out to the game tonight, the movies tomorrow night, church Sunday, and Grandma’s afterwards.” Sure, but getting the work done wasn’t quite that easy. By Sunday morning as you left for church, your room was nasty, the paper unwritten, and your next weekend blown because you’d missed your curfew the night before. The whole visit at Grandma’s was spent worrying about that paper, and by about ten that night you’d decided you’d just be dead the next morning with a cold and sniffed around your mother a lot. So much for that! Your mother carried on a lot about how late hours were ruining your health, and you were grounded for two weeks. How could anyone be blamed for at- tempting to do everything in a (continued) Weekends 29 Top of the Charts en weekend? There was so much to do, and on Fridays, those two days seemed a lot lo nger. Football or basketball games, movies, parties, or when anyone had the money, concerts at the Roanoke Civic Center-Coliseum. When © everyone was broke, there was always “The Wall” in Rustburg. Saturdays and Sundays were spent doing a lot of things that weren’t really necessary, like sleeping late, or shop- ping all day, that time left over for the important things like working, on either schoolwork or a job, was pretty scarce. So back you went to school on Mon- day, tired out instead of rested up from the weekend. With each new Monday the graph’s starting point dropped lower, until Monday’s position couldn’t be retrieved with a post-hole digger on most student’s charts. And with each hectic weekend, the workload for the next weekend grew heavier, and the weeks trying to catch up grew rougher. Weekends weren't the restful days they could have been.

Weekends 31 Always individuals, Rustburg students never went overboard on fashion. Stylish clothes were in, but more impor- tant than style was looks, and comfort. Those comfortable old stand-bys, blue jeans, were still in, but better fit and designer labels replaced the baggy seats and worn knees of previous years. Clogs and “Candies” were popular foot ap- parel, and nearly everyone, male and female alike, sported a button-down collared shirt and monogram sweater. Beyond fashion, escapism was the big movie theme, and crowd pleaser pic- tures like The Jerk and Star Trek provided moviegoers with entertain- ment and a release from reality. Other blockbuster films, like And Justice For All, dealt with unpopular realities that shocked viewers. Individuals as they were, RHS stu- dents found one universal saying not only unoriginal, they found having their own personal expressions much more effective. “Your mama’s” went the way of such old-time idioms as “twenty-three skidoo”. The students were evolving into their own selves, without the old crutch of gimmicks or fancy styles. Untied shoelaces give Kelley Lacks the chance to model her brand-new Calvin Klein designer jeans.

The ris- ing costs of gasoline forced many stu- dents to give up driving to school every day in favor of carpooling, and school buses. School supplies, books, clothes and food costs forced students to cut down on unnecessary spending, and entertainment for many students became sitting at home with friends, rather than driving aroun d. With gas prices staggering upwards from local prices of $1.00 a gallon for regular, and with Lynchburq’s seven percent food tax cutting down on eating out, most people were con- cerned only with the local effects of in- flation. When gold prices reached $100 an ounce and then climbed sharply until an ounce of gold cost well 34 Inflation Comparison shopper Lisa Cheek checks the shelves at The Treasure Chest for quality pants at a good price. a to where? over seven hundred dollars, national inflation did affect students, instead of being something happening else- where. Gold jewelry costs rose sharply, and earrings and chains became luxu- ries. Rustburg was a part of a whole nation swept by high costs, and an increasing lack of money. Money had been tight for yers, but suddenly, every penny became important as students learned what inflation really meant to them.

Those problems weren’t in another world, they were here, in this com- munity, and RHS students were just as affected as politicians or orators. The whole world’s confusion seemed to suddenly drop into Rustburg’s lap. Seniors on the brink of their eighteenth birthday were suddenly faced with the possibility of registration for the draft in the very near future, and war became a lll, real prospect for the future instead of something studied in history class. Rebellious Iranian students held American citizens hostage in the American Embassy in Iran for several months. United States’ citizens banded together in a common cause, “to show em we won't take it anymore!” Stu- dents’ opinions ran pretty much on the same vein; the country was taking a stand. When the U.S.S.R. invaded Afghanistan, President Carter asked Congress to approve registration.

When the winter weather poured out more than twenty inches of snow in the area, residents comforted them- selves with the thought that last winter’s ice storms and raging, blizzard-like snows were much worse. Rustburg’s long-awaited new high school was opened, and construction on the middle school was well under way. RHS’ grand opening of the new gymnasium received much recognition and publicity Valentine’s Day devotion to Carla Mann takes the form of a red newspaper carnation from a secret admirer. as one of the best scholastic sports facilities in the state. Mrs. Eleanor Evans, RHS librarian, won a spot on the Campbell County Board of Supervisors with her fall campaign. World issues had varying effects on the entertainment industry. Movies pushed escapism themes, such as that of Star Trek, but television went in for realism in such news programs as . 20 20 and 60 Minutes. Normally rather low in the ratings, these news programs surged to the top shows’ list with their unblinking focus on issues. Similar in content, but more on the fun side was Real People, an amusing look at what people really do. It was often scary, watching what trouble the world could get into. But everything looked much better when compared to the good in the world, and the good in Rustburg’s own community. Rustburg wasn’t a protected shell, but a balance between the crazy and the good. New gymnasium facilities receive praise and honors from schoolboard member Mrs. Mary Jane Hawkins during the dedication ceremonies preceeding the first basketball game of the season. Despite an impending boycott by the United States, Olympic fever spreads to many small devotees of Wheaties breakfast cereal. World and Community 39 More than a few people expected Rustburg sports to take a turn for the worse in 1980. The Red Devils seemed to be too small, too slow, too this or too that, and doomsayers predicted a banner year for Rustburg opponents in sports ranging from cross country to golf. What these fortune tellers failed to realize, though, was that sports are fairly unpredictable. Balls bounce in funny ways, and sometimes a lot of intangibles — team spirit, leadership, experience — can make a lot of paper predictions look pretty silly. Such was the case with Rustburg High School in 1980. Despite the glum forecasts of a whole hatfull of so-called “experts”, Rustburg teams won — and won often — in 1980. Whatever the reason, however it came to be, sports analysts around Rustburg were in for the surprise of their lives.

Two years of struggle as underclassmen were finally beginning to pay off; the seniors were to be the leaders and the stars of a powerhouse team. For the underclassmen, the year held a lot of questions. Some younger players patiently waited through another year of splinter catching, while others started and played a vital part in the eight victories. For the fans, the ’79 edition of Rustburg football was less than promis- ing. Many felt the failure of the ’78 Devil team to bring back a fourth straight dis- trict title signaled a drastic decline in the football fortunes of Rustburg High School. Sportswriters concurred that the Devils’ toughest game would be the season opener against Jefferson Forest. The teams traded scores in the first half, with the Cavaliers holding a 7-6 lead at intermission. The tone for the second half was set on the first play of the third quarter when the Devils fumbled deep in their own territory to set up a Forest score. The game wound up a 6-27 nightmare. A weak Liberty team took a 24-0 pounding by the Red Devils in the next game, evening Rustburg’s record at 1-1. A heavy rain twice forced postpone- ment of the next game against Ap- pomattox. Rustburg had dealt the Raiders their only loss in 1978, and Ap- pomattox came to the Devils’ field look- ing for revenge. A capacity crowd watched the aerial acrobatics of Ken Anthony, Mike Payne, and Thurmond Lewis undo the heavily favored Raider team, 27-0. The defense continued to play to perfection, stopping four Raider tries at the Devil goal from the one-yard line. A miserably hot Amherst County night erupted with controversy as the Devils were dealt their second loss in four starts. Coach Ray Wade was ejected from the stadium when he con- tested a controversial decision on a crucial fourth quarter play. With the Devils behind by a touchdown, Anthony launched a bomb to Lewis down to the Lancer 20-yard line. One official signaled a valid catch, but another referee ruled the pass incomplete.

Varsity Football 43 ‘ ) ; : “ + y ff } Vj € ‘ More than meets the eye The sounds of “get down, get funky, get loose” resounded through the air. If a person didn’t know better, he'd probably think he was at Arthur Murray’s dance school; but the local disco had no advantage over Rustburg’s football cheerleaders. Last summer’s cheerleading camp at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College featured cheers with soul and cheers that you could “get into.” The varsity cheerleading squads combined for the first time to attend camp and received two blue ribbons, one red ribbon, and a spirit stick for their relentless spirit despite the rain and miserable weather during the week. After the football season began, the cheerleaders decided to stay combined for pep rallies. A variety of ideas ranging from “The Price Is Right” to a new spirit week consisting of Hat Day on Monday, Crazy Sock Day on Tuesday, 50’s Day on Wednesday, Sloppy Day on Thurs- day, and Color Day on Friday brought amusement and originality into the classrooms. Along with the fun and excitement of being a cheerleader, the J.V. and varsity cheerleaders experienced a change in academic requirements. To be able to cheer, a person could not fail any ‘classes, so it’s not all cute smiles and chilly nights, but book-hitting too. There’s more to cheerleading than meets the eye. Red Devil fever remains hot as the varsity cheerleaders exhibit pride and relentless support to the football team.

Some long-forgotten sports nut once remarked that a tie is “like kissing your sister.” Rustburg’s JV football team saw more than their share of sisterly love in the 1979 season, as the little Devils ended the year with three wins, two losses, and an amazing three ties. Hampered by the nagging problem of inexperience and by the shocking lack of bodies, the JV squad began the season as the underdogs of the Seminole district. Six returning players and a 25-man turnout meant lots of hard practice and a little substitution for the team. Coach Robert Miller found a few nice surprises as the season un- folded, as his small squad slowly ce- mented into one of the toughest defenses in the district, allowing more than one touchdown in only one of their eight games. Many fans glumly forecasted a long season after the Devils dropped their first two games,losing to Liberty (0-10) and Appomattox (14-20). Miller knew it was time for a little regrouping, and he decided to put his strength in his defense. The decision paid off, as the Red Devils managed two ties in two weeks (Monelison, 0-0; Gretna, 6-6). Finding the offensive spark that had been missing for four consecutive weeks, the JVs came up with convincing wins over William Campbell (20-0), Nelson (32-6), and Altavista (44-0). A win against arch-rival Brookville in the last game of the season would mean a great season by anyone’s standards; a loss, another year of frustration. No one even considered another tie — it wasn’t only improbable, it was darn near im- possible. A defensive struggle from the open- ing whistle, the Brookville game wound up as — guess — another tie. A scoreless tie, at that. The players, who had worked so hard for a whole year, couldn’t help but feel a little disappoint- ment. Looking back on the season, though, the little Devils had nothing at all to be disappointed about — and everything in the world to be proud of. In coming back from a 0-2 beginning to post a slightly unusual record, the JVs showed a lot of spirit and a whole lot of dedica- tion. And that, to some, was a surprise. JV Football 49 Inexperience takes The kind of inexperience that always comes with a young squad can wreak havoc in a team sport like volleyball. Coming into the season with only two returning starters, the volleyball team was considered the underdog of the Seminole District. But determination and the youthful strength resulted in a plea- sant surprise for coach Bonnie Jennings and her team, as the Devilettes went on to finish with a 7-6 record and a fourth place spot in the district standings. A punishing, fast-paced style of play set up straight set victories over Altavista (15- 7, 15-5) and Appomattox (15-8, 15-8) in 50 Volleyball Jefferson Forest's annual pre-season tournament. Fatigue and Liberty's six returning starters helped defeat the Devilettes 4-15, 2-15. Kenda Millner and Kelly Jones combined for 32 points in the tournament, while Melva McDaniel con- tributed -14. An early season victory over Nelson (15-1, 15-6) may have caused a letdown and an upset victory by Amherst, who took advantage of the lax play of the Devilettes to upend the favored Rustburg squad by a 6-15, 11-15 margin.

Taking William Campbell (15-3, 15- 12) brought the Devil ettes up against the district's leaders, Appomattox and Liberty. Defeat at the hands of both teams (15-6, 15-8; 15-6, 15-5) left Rustburg in a three-way tie for fourth place with Gretna and Amherst.

The neglected sport Cross country is a neglected sport. It’s season begins just about the same time as football’s, and it never gets much ink in the morning’s paper. The cross coun- try runner is a special breed of man (or woman), logging hundreds of lonely miles a week, not complaining that peo- ple seldom notice his hard work and achievements. Football players like to say that their sport is a year round thing, and they’re right. But Rustburg runners run every day — every day — in every season. When a cross country runner steps onto the course to compete, he is alone. He runs by himself. The team wins on a combination of points captured by the top finishers, but no one blocks for the runner, bunts him to sec ond base, or passes him the ball if he’s open for a shot. Rustburg’s cross country team was loaded with talent and promise in 1979. Unlike the other teams that had lost multitudes of stars to graduation, Coach ad nL triiini s oe q' Jerry “Bugs” Dodgion’s group returned 4 out of the top 5 runners from last year’s Seminole District championship squad. Lindsay Barbour showed his dedica- tion to his sport by holding down a job on the side. By special arrangement with his employer, Barbour didn’t have to work during meets. It’s a good thing, too — Barbour won the district’s in- dividual title. Juan Kimble, who holds the 17:09 course record at Rustburg, finished a strong third in the district meet to add to Rustburg’s strong second place showing. The other top scorer in the district for Rustburg was Thomas Jefferson, who clocked a 17:39 to finish sixth. The Devils placed three men (Bar- bour, Kimble, and Jefferson) in the top ten at the regional meet, managing a second place finish. A ninth-place finish in the state meet ended the regular season for the Devils, but the lonely run- ning continues — on and on and on. Tense muscles cause David Thompson to stretch his legs after a 20-30 win over Liberty. 1979 CROSS COUNTRY: (front row) manager Teresa Roberts, Coach Jerry Dodgion, manager Amy Roberts.

Cross Country 53 No strength in numbers If there really is strength in numbers, you couldn’t prove it by looking at Rustburg’s mighty varsity girls’ basket- ball team. Playing some games with only two — that’s right, two — reserves, the Devilettes ran through district and non- district opponents alike to post an 21-1 record and win second straight regular season and tournament championships. But things weren’t always so rosy for coaches Pat Bell and Pat Nuttecombe. - Opening the season with a nine point loss to Liberty, Rustburg, to be honest, disappointed many die-hard fans. Favorably compared to last year’s un- defeated powerhouse, this year’s squad started gazing ahead to a suddenly much _ longer-looking season. To top everything off, several players quit the team and others were sidelined by in- juries, leaving the girls with only seven healthy bodies. 0-1 and eighteen regular season games to go. Things didn’t look too bright, especially when you considered the fact that the next three games paired Rustburg with two AAA foes, including the Western District favorite, E.C. Glass. But the expected tough competition failed to materialize against the scoring attack of Sarah Jackson, Cindy Lewis, Kenda Millner, Kelly Jones, and Amanda Jackson, and Rustburg upped its mark to 3-1. After a sluggish first three quarters against Altavista, the Devilettes ex- ploded for 47 fourth quarter points to pound Altavista, 70-30. Four new faces joined the team soon after when JV stars Marjorie Dyke, Kristi Claybrook, Liz Miller and Teresa Roberts found themselves being called up to the ma- jors. Three blowouts followed, as Rustburg easily downed Appomattox (54-33), Brookville (67-45), and William Campbell (60-39).

Lewis, a last year’s all-district honoree, stole the show with a 20-point night against the hapless Gretna Hens. Millner and Jackson added 10 a piece in Rustburg’s 53-39 win. Lewis’ 22 points carried the team past Jefferson Forest in an easy 66-37 win. Two more walkover wins (Amherst, 53-41; and Altavista, 52-29) set up a rematch with the now league-leading E.C. Glass team. The contest was evenly-balanced from the opening whistle, with the two teams exchanging leads early on. Finally, led by Lewis’ 14 points, Rustburg nudged out the eventual Western District champions by a 55-49 count. The girls never really faced another serious threat to their now 13-game win- ning streak. Sweeping the last five games, despite several being very close until the last few remaining minutes, brought the season to a close. Against the Amherst Lancerettes, Lewis shone with 22, and McDaniel 11. Lewis hit 12 and 14 against Appomattox and Jeffer- son Forest respectively while tossing in 14 against Brookville. Kenda Millner aided that win with 15, Sarah Jackson 13, and McDaniel 11. High emotions sparked a 20-2 first quarter shellacking over Wm. Campbell: this win would clinch the second straight district title, as Gretna had defeated Liberty the week before. Lewis’ and McDaniel’s 11, and Sarah Jackson’s 10 ensured a 53-28 victory, and the right to say, “It’s all ours.” Co-captains Kendra Millner ( 21) and Kelly Jones ( 25) wait to assist teammates scrambling for a loose ball during a 52-21 win over Appomat- tox. Varsity Girls’ Basketball 57 Attentive to Coach Haywood McCrickard’s ad- vice, team members take a quick water break to discuss their strategy. Patience and good defense paid off with a 65-49 victory over Altavista. If an unknowing spectator had wan- dered into a Rustburg varsity boys’ basketball game, he probably would have figured coach Haywood McCrickard to be a math teacher. Num- bers — more precisely, a lack of num- bers — seemed to control the Devils’ season. Not only did McCrickard’s team lack numbers in the form of players — his squad consisted of only ten men — but the men that were on the team suf- fered from a lack of other numbers — this time, numbers in the form of inches. McCrickard’s starting five comprised one of the smallest lineups in the Seminole District, and his ten players made up one of the smallest teams in the state. Despite the number deficit, the Devils fared well in competition, posting a 10-8 district and a 10-10 overall record. Led by all-district performer Thurmond Lewis, Rustburg lost its eight district games by an average of only a little over five points per contest. Facing eventual Western District runner-up E.C. Glass in the inaugural game of the new gym, Rustburg never quite got untracked. Lewis was the only Devil in double figures, notching 13 points against a tough Hilltopper defense. Lewis added another 13 in a loss to Nelson, the loss coming on a Governor tip-in with no time remaining 58 Varsity Boys’ Basketball ( 35). Despite Lewis’ 1 lost 42-54. Number game? on the clock. Lewis’ 16- and Ken Anthony's 15-point performance brought home a 54-43 first win from Liberty. Charles Jackson, who had been quiet in his first three games, exploded with a bang at Gretna. With the score knotted at 46 all, Jackson canned a 20-footer at the buzzer to upend the Hawks by a 48- 46 margin. AAA Heritage then handed Rustburg its third loss, this one by a 63- 69 count. Four players (Lincoln Wood, Mike Payne, Lewis, and Jackson) hit in dou- ble figures in a 65-49 victory over Altavista. The joy was. short-lived, however, as the Devils dropped two straight poorly-played games (to Ap- pomattox, 50-61; and to Brookville, 41- 42). Lewis hit 18 points to lead the surg- ing Devils to a 57-41 win over an out- matched William Campbell team. Liberty also fell behind Lewis’ stellar 25- point outing, but a tough Gretna Hawk team handed the Devils a 65-73 set- back. Rustburg then rebounded to take a 62-44 decision from the Jefferson Forest Cavaliers. No one was quite prepared for what was to happen in the next two contests. Rustburg took two of the Seminole Dis- trict’s strongest clubs into overtime, but could not come away with a win. Nelson Uncontested, Thurmond Lewis ( 35) drives around his E.C. Glass eile! Eddie Brogdon poirit effort, the Devils used the overtime performance of Dennis Baker to stop the gutsy Red Devils by a 51-56 count; in the next game, Amherst thanked its lucky stars for a 51-57 addition to its unblemished record.

But, as ex- pected, home court advantage prevailed, and the Lancers remained undefeated, 52-59. Easily defeating Appomattox 77-63, Lewis, Wood, and Anthony controlled the offense with 23, 18, and 17 points respectively. ' Anthony kept the Devils alive for two overtimes against Jefferson Forest, sink- ing a jumper from the top of the key at the buzzer, and then dropping in two foul shots with no time remaining after being fouled on a half court desperation shot.

At the opening basketball game against E.C. Glass, the fans got a very big surprise when the first stuntmen in the district ran out onto the floor. Why not? A brand new school and gym weren’t complete without that ad- ded dimension. Principal Hugh Pendleton came up with the idea, and head cheerleading sponsor Debra Guthrie, with the back- ing of Assistant Principal Earl Murray, rounded up seven enthusiastic guys. A real requirement for this task was to have the courage to be the first stuntmen in the district and to risk their “macho image”, participating in a “woman’s sport”. The cheerleaders had a huge problem on their hands, too.

The first practices were especially difficult as most of the stunts were learned from a book. Hard work and a sense of humor about the difficulty of performing stunts pulled the squad through any bad moments. The J.V. basketball cheerleading squad had its hours of practice and hard work, too. Determined to hold their own during the season and show their true talent, instead of being lost in the var- sity’s limelight, the J.V. squad put a little extra effort in every cheer. But, despite all the sacrifices at the beginning of the season, everyone had to agree, that if given another chance, they'd all do it again. 1979-80 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS AND STUNTMEN: (front row) Susan Layne, Lisa Hall, Donna Pickeral, Veronica Gunter, (second row) Tony Hirtz, Darryl Tucker, David Moore, Tony Trent, Robert O’Brien, Buddy White, Eddie Blankinship, (back row) Laura Pendleton, Debby Ferguson, Captain Janet Eubank, Lisa Bennett, Linda Mitchell, Blankinship.

When things go wrong by the dozen, even simple problems can mushroom into disasters. If anyone ever had to go through a whole season of bad days, it was the JV girls’ basketball team.. Plagued by sicknesses, losses of star players, and loads of other less-serious troubles, no one could have blamed Coach Bonnie Jennings for getting a little disgusted with the way things worked out. But Jennings and her girls, despite their bad luck, didn’t complain too much about their 10-3 record. The past three Rustburg JV squads had built somewhat of a dynasty in the — Seminole District, and Jennings’ ’79-’80 squad was expected to follow suit. Un- fortunate district opponents fell like flies early in the season, as the little Devilettes won their first six games by 64 J.V. Girls’ Basketball laughable margins. Led by top scorers Kristi Claybrook, Marjorie Dyke, and Kathy Charleton, the JVs had other dis- trict teams sweating ice cubes. Then came trouble. A good varsity squad, which had become dangerously small in numbers, (see girls’ varsity basketball), sent word down to Jennings that her stars belonged upstairs. Jenn- ings and the JVs wound up losing Claybrook, Dyke, Teresa Roberts, and Liz Miller. Fans forecasted collapse, but the JVs just kept winning, dropping only two games (to William Campbell, 38-41; and Gretna, 44-50) out of their final six. Not bad for a team that had half its point production snatched away at mid- season. Playing through their problems, the JV girls proved that — sometimes, at least — getting out of bed has got its rewards. Quick passing between Susan Lawhome ( 13) and Sherry McDaniel ( 15) enable them to keep the ball away from the grasps of a William Campbell player. Rustburg lost to the Generals 43-44.

Girls’ Basketball 65 Youth gives strength Head JV Basketball coach Mike Ben- nett must have been a little relieved when he looked over the group of boys that had gathered for pre-season try- outs. Unlike all the other Rustburg basket- ball coaches, who had to worry about a curious shortage of players, Bennett found about thirty boys wing for the six- teen slots on the squad. By the time the early euphoria wore off, though, Bennett realized that his team had some rough spots to work out if they were going to be a contender for the district title. Players who were small and young would have to be counted on to provide the bulk of the baby Devil’s offense and defense. The first four games were a coach’s nightmare. Dropping all four contests by an average of twenty points per outing, Bennett’s troops had little to be happy 1979-80 JV. BOYS’ BASKETBALL: (front row) Mar.

Led by the hot hands of Mike Farris, Bill Scott, Thomas Jefferson, and Eric Scott, the JV’s dumped Jefferson Forest (57-37) and Altavista (55-54). Three more losses (to Appomattox, 41-45; Brookville 33-36; and William Campbell 45-46) set the record at a lowly 2-7. Bill Scott led the team in the next two contests, chipping in a total of 40 points in a 52-46 win over Liberty and a 60-70 loss to Gretna. Steady improvement brought three wins in the next four games, as the Devils defeated Forest (37-24), lost to Nelson (42-55) and slip- ped by Altavista (51-46) and Appomat- tox (58-51). Farris, Bill Scott, and Jeffer- son ripped the nets for 45 points against the Colonels, while Jefferson added 28 against the Raiders.

Boys’ Basketball 67 Table-scrap terrors It almost seems as though the whole winter sports schedule is set up in op- position to indoor track. Basketball, the wintertime glamour sport, grabs the headlines — and the athletes. If you said the other winter sports teams got to eat the good meal, you’d have to say that the indoor track team had to settle for the table scraps. Of course, this doesn’t mean that in- door track athletes weren’t good athletes; quite the contrary. Some of the best athletes at Rustburg High School graced the rubber floor at Lynchburg College’s Wake Field house in the dis- trict meet. Four guys led the Devils to a fourth-place district finish. Juan Kimble, a cross country stand- out, finished sixth in the mile. Leevel Lewis, a second team all-district per- former in football, chose to stick with his speed rather than playing basketball. A wise choice, since he captured first place in the 60-yard dash. The other two athletes were “loaners” from other sports. Arthur Jones wrestled to a second place finish in the district tournament just hours af- ter he threw the shot to victory in the district meet. Thurmond Lewis, the Seminole District’s second leading scorer in basketball, divided his time, devoting himself to both basketball and indoor track. Lewis’ second place finish in the long jump and a win in the triple jump held him in high esteem by area sportswriters. His only reply to this was, “It only takes a desire to do both.” Although the leaping Lewis (Thur- mond) was unable to compete in the regional meet because of a basketball game, the running Lewis (Leevel) and Arthur Jones took top honors away from the contest. Jones went on to finish fourth in a strong field at the state meet. Senior shot-putter Art Jones hurls the shot to nudge out Brookville’s Marty Gibson for the regional title. 68 Indoor Track Hoping for an early lead, sophomore runner Billy Henderson jockeys for position in the mile run.

Starting off with a grand total of zero hours of varsity wrestling experience, Coach Marshall Turner’s mat troops seemed to be sitting ducks for the hungry wolves of the Seminole. Turner hoped that just being there would help start Rustburq’s wrestl- ing program on an upwards trail; while hoping for the best, he had to admit that the odds were against his team chalking up even one lonely victory in its first year of varsity status. Somewhere along the way, though, someone forget to tell the wrestlers that they weren’t supposed to win. When the dust cleared at the end of a surprising season, the Devils had managed a very respectable 4-6 record against some pretty tough district and nondistrict 70 Wrestling competition. The Devils were led throughout the season by 185-pounder Robert Booker and unlimited Arther Jones; both finished second in the district tourna- ment, and Jones went on to place fourth in the regionals. 138-pounder C.H. Leonard and 126-pounder James Jones managed a third place finish in the Seminole tournament, while 167- pounder Ronnie Andrews and 112- pounder Tim Maxey finished fourth. Six wrestlers in the district’s top four places; not so bad, especially for a team that was expected to be worse than terri- ble. At the end of the season, Coach Turner couldn’t help but be a little bit shocked — and a whole lot pleased — with his boys’ performance.

Wrestling 71 Left out in the cold Spring sports have never really gotten the attention that they rightfully deserve, but one of the side effects of having a spring-delivery yearbook is that the final deadline is in late February, well before the spring sports’ seasons begin. The usually strong Red Devil spring teams have always seemed to be left out in the cold in the way of ink. Publicity wasn’t the only kind of cold that spring athletes had to endure. Since all Top seed Mark Epperson takes advantage of an unusually warm day in January to improve his serve. 72 Spring Sports spring sports are outdoor sports, spring athletes had to bundle up in a dozen or so layers of clothes to keep themselves warm when practice started in early February. If coaches decided that the weather was ab- solutely unbearable, the spring teams were driven to the upper halls of E-wing. On a lucky day, the athletes had the relative pleasure of throwing, volleying, and swing- ing in the gym. Despite the almost-impossible condi- tions, Rustburg’s spring teams fared sur- | prisingly well. Success in springtime sports played a key role in Rustburg’s two-year possession of the Campbell County Cup, a trophy rewarding the over-all most out- standing school in the area of athletics in Campbell County. Through it all—the lack. of publicity and the freezing Virginia win-- ter—spring sports teams managed to give their opponents screaming fits—and num- bers in the loss column.

Spring Sports 73 Most of the people around Rustburg expected academics and clubs to un- dergo a drastic change for the better in 1980. With the addition of new, up-to- date classrooms and equipment, stu- dents and faculty alike looked for a lot of automatic changes in the academic and club climate of Rustburg High School: better students, better teachers, better classes. The changes did come, but they did not come automatically; neither were the changes that did come the exact ones that had been expected at the beginning of the year. The changes were sort of in- tangible ones: test scores showed no marked increase, but more than a few people noticed an almost unheard of pride in and dedication to Rustburg academics and organizations. Anyone who expected the changes that did come in 1980 had to be counted among the minority. For most of the members of the Rustburg High School community, the changes in academics and clubs came as a shocking surprise.

Even though the same classes were of- fered as before, they had a different ap- proach. The new facilities and some changes in the curriculum added a whole new dimension to the same old readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rithmetic. Teaching isn’t all blackboards and gradebooks. Many hours are put into planning lessons and grading papers, and the new high school provided workrooms for the teachers to prepare classwork in. Sometimes, those workrooms served as a refuge for weary teachers to stretch out on the workroom sofas, and “get away from it all.” The classrooms in the new high school had a totally different look from those at the old high school. Modular tables replaced the desks in most classes, and portable shelves and storage units were found throughout. The business department had its own mock receptionist area, complete with waiting room, filing cabinets, and office equipment. Also, during the second ee quarter, all new office furniture arrived for the Clerical Office Procedures classes to really get into the “feel” of an office. Even the atmosphere in the hallways was special, due to the multicolored graphics on the walls. The rainbow colors of the halls broke up the usually dull appearance of plain old white- walled corridors, and made a real eye- catching appearance for those who first stepped into the school. In order to keep the good-looking ap- pearance of our new high school, a few rules were made at the start of the year. No food, drinks, or chewing gum were allowed outside the commons area. The new policy was, “it’s your school, so take care of it.” Some of the old regulations were carried into this school year. Parking permits were still required, and the park- ing rules were strictly enforced by teachers on duty in the student parking lot every morning. Another stand-by in (continued) (ef New lab equipment never takes the place of hard work. Here Dave Roberts and Annette Blankenship toil over another of Mr. Glenn Reichard’s chemistry experiments.

General Academics 77 A whole new dimension mn: the disciplinary department was P.A.D., or in-house suspension, which started its second year as a method of punishment throughout the Campbell County schools. P.A.D. served as a method of removing students from class while still keeping them in school, and it worked. Not many people visited P.A.D. more than once. While students enjoyed the new facilities, there were still some problems. A few students couldn’t quite get the knack of the new lockers, with two separate sections. There was always someone leaving the top section open, and sometimes there were people who couldn’t even figure out how to get the top section open. Those lockers could be rough on the head, too. Someone always managed to open the upper compartment just as you stood up, and several students carried permanent knots on their foreheads as a reminder that in the case of lockers, new is not necessarily better. Unfinished homework forces Debra Mason to work instead of talk during Mrs. Mona Rudder’s eleventh grade homeroom. 78 General Academics With the new look came a few changes in the courses at R.H.S. More advanced courses were offered than ever before, and a few traditionally non- advanced courses were specially adapt- ed for the advanced students. Under- ‘classmen got a real taste of the ad- vanced program when, for the first year, an advanced English program was of- fered in all grades. Now, every grade in high school had its “killer courses.” Almost every class at R.H.S. under- went changes for the new year. Most teachers spent several weeks redesign- ing their course outlines for a different approach to an old class. The new school brought changes even in the es- tablished courses. So many people thought that the new school wouldn’t really affect any classes, except for providing new equip- ment in some departments, but they were wrong! The entire academic system at R.H.S. changed with the new high school.

General Academics 79 Better basics Rustburg students have always ten- ded to take a dim view of basic courses. Instead of realizing that basic meant grade-level, many students felt basic meant “dumb”. But how wrong they were. Basic su bjects weren't any less demanding than lots of the advanced courses, they were simply classes designed to deal with a cross-section of students, students with varying abilities and talents. Most basic courses provided students with some ground-rules knowledge that is essential for students to obtain before graduation. Students have to take certain sub- jects, like English and science, for a re- quired number of years because the classes are essential to a good educa- tion. Many of these required basic sub- jects, such as ninth grade Earth Science, are interesting and fun. Studying rocks and earthquakes may have been tedious at times, but most of the infor- mation in the class was unusual and entertaining. Junior and senior basic English classes were divided into quarters, and each quarter students explored a dif- ferent concept. Courses like “Man and Woman”, “Poetry”, and “Exploring the Supernatural” intrigued nearly all stu- (continued) Riese sr cieiecrrte. . Classtime amusement takes many forms.

U.S. History, World History, and U.S. Government classes received a few groans from students who were tired of hearing about the past. History wasn’t the favorite subject of many students, but for those who did like learning about man’s past, RHS supplied them with in- formative classrooms and teachers who could quote stories that normally didn’t appear in a textbook. One year of math is required before graduation, and whether it was eighth grade consumer math or Algebra I, stu- dents learned essentials about number operations. Consumer math classes were also available in the eighth and twelfth grades for students to become aware of important rules about money management. If basic courses ever meant lower courses, they didn’t anymore. RHS hadn’t revolutionized basic courses, or added anything spectacular to the curriculum, but the basic courses did have enough in-depth extras to keep them from being boring, or even wor- se—uninformative. Basic no longer meant lower. “= . Jeopardy pede aes Terrell May mans his post . in Mrs. Reid’s fourth period Government class. Basic Courses 83 Electives open doors There was a lot more to a school day than just the required courses that stu- dents took. Electives, whether languages or a skill building class like those offered at the Vo-Tech Center, helped to round out a student’s schedule, and his education. The new school didn’t change the course offerings in electives very much, but it did help to expand many elective classes. Speech and Drama class mem- bers had an auditorium to perform in in- stead of a classroom, and _ students enrolled in Home Economics had the greater part of a hallway where their classroom was spread out, in order to have lots of room for students’ in- dividual work. Students who took an elective s cience course found the new science wing fascinating, with its new equipment and its interesting displays.

This “working classroom”, where students enrolled in such classes as Auto Body Repair were allowed to ac- tually practice their skills on cars, aided students by giving them the first-hand experience necessary to obtain a job. Often students who graduated from high school with one or more years of a vocational training behind them found jobs easily. Electives were important “fill-ins” in a students’ schedule. Often, while the re- quired subjects helped a student to work toward his diploma, the electives helped him work toward his career. Stu- dents contemplating one future career goal often enrolled in an elective course, like Vocational Agriculture or a foreign language, and found their interests switch entirely due to the influence of the elective course. Elective courses opened up doors for students, because they dealt with a lot of material un- known to the students and helped them to become acquainted with many dif- ferent aspects of education and careers.

They were required only to be willing to work. And anyone who took an advanced course either worked or suffered; there was no coasting in an ad- vanced class. Grades came hard, and many A and B students had to learn to be satisfied with their first C ever earned on a report card. Why would anyone want to take such hard subjects anyway? Most students in advanced courses had to admit they weren't as interested in the challenge of the course as the prestige. Advanced classes looked awfully good on transcripts, and colleges were mostly in- terested in what you took, not why you took it. But there were some people in ad- vanced subjects with no intentions of going on to college, and so they didn’t need the record or the practice. Often they were pressured into taking the courses by guidance counselors who considered ability more than they con- sidered willingness to work. Many peo- ple in advanced classes took them be- cause friends were enrolled in these classes. Those people who took ad- vanced courses because others wanted them to were sorry they ever let them- selves be pressured into the class. 88 Advanced Courses (continued) Discussions in AP English often lose track of the Bent over her work in Advanced Home Economics original subject, but Wanda Davidson and Amy Dawn Dirzuiviet tries to finish her sewing before the Johnson enjoy their conversational tangents. class ends.

Advanced Courses 91 So long to shabby treatment Fine arts at RHS have always had to take a back seat to other departments. Funds for the school had to be spread in so many different areas that fine arts never received enough to work with. It always seemed so unfair that basketballs and bun- sen burners came before brushes. With the building of the new school came a whole fine arts wing, and equip- ment to work with that was new and in working order. No more leftovers in the fine arts department. The art department finally had a chance to spread out students, instead of keeping the working space so cramped that work Hopeful contributor Melony James finishes up a still life entry for the literary art magazine. Band members play the national anthem for the first time ever at a basketball game before the E. C.

Big open windows with a northern exposure provided good light for students to work in, and space and light seemed to make a big difference in creativity. Down the hall a bit further from the art classes were the chorus and band rooms, decked-out in eye-catching shades of pur- ple, and spacious enough to hold meetings and after-school practices. In the old school, the band room was located in a lit- tle trailer, but now chorus and band mem- bers had their own-space to spread out and make music in. Auditorium facilities were made available in the new school, and the drama classes had a chance to move their talents from their rooms in the fine arts wing to centerstage. Both the drama and chorus groups brought entertainment to the auditorium stage in their productions. Fine arts didn’t take second place to the: other departments anymore. With their own facilities, the arts department could work with more, and in more space. The cramped rooms and little trailers of last year were gone for good.

Mark Moorman Have you noticed any change in the academics since we moved to the new school? I think the senior class has changed the most since last year. We’re more frustrated because of the heavy work load. The faculty wants to impress the difficulties of college on us, so we get about twice the work as we did last year. Sometimes it’s so much work that we don’t care as much, our’ frustration gets us down. Has there been an entirely adverse effect? No, on the contrary. We’ve gotten used to the frustration. But the main thing is that the class has been drawn closer together because we all have the same problems and gripes. Do you think that all of the new college preparatory measures are beneficial? Yes, they are definitely beneficial. We get a better education because of them, and with a better education we are better prepared to contribute to society. The college preparation is important even if we don’t go to college because more philosophy is taught and we discuss more in class. This will help us deal with people later on in life. 94 Change in Academics What about the other classes; do you think they have changed academically? The ninth graders seem more at ease with the system and this is an advantage academically. The most change, however, has been in the senior class, because seniors have to change and have to adjust. no longer carry the extra quality point. I don’t think that an “A” in basic English and an “A” in advanced English should be the same thing since there is an obvious dif- ference in the two. Overall, however, I think — academics at Rustburg High School have changed for the better. Juan Kimble Have you noticed any change in the academics sinc e we moved to the new school? Yes. For example, the History, Govern- ment, and English classes can make more use of the video-tape machine since it has been moved to the library. Last year it stayed in Mr. Fletcher’s biology room most of the time and was rarely in working order. The chemistry lab is also a big improve- ment over last year even though it isn’t quite completed yet. There are many more facilities available to all classes then were available in the old school. Have you seen any change in the English Department? Yes. The addition of the specialized classes such as Poetry and Advanced Composition are beneficial in that they allow the students to enhance his special talents. The only change I have noticed that I don’t like is that the Advanced Math and some of the Advanced English courses Mrs. Mary Dodson - Have you noticed any change in the academics since we moved to the new school? . Since I deal mainly with the sophomore class, I have noticed that they seem more serious about planning for the future and careers. However, I am not sure this is the result of the move to the new school. It could be because students tend to get more serious about their future when they get to the tenth grade. Have you noticed any difference in the faculty and administration? I have noticed that the faculty appears to be making an effort to plan the curriculum to fit the new facilities in the school and to fit the needs of the students. For instance, the library has a new audio-visual room, and the English and Government classes are making use of it. The art department is entirely new, and the business department has some new equipment. All of these ad- ditions are advantageous to the students. Mrs. Norah Jones Have you noticed any change in the academics since we moved to the new school? . Yes, I have, and I think its partly because of the changes in the United States. There is increasing emphasis on the basic skills, reading, writing ability, and mathematical functions. Has there been any change in the stu- dents themselves? They're working harder and are more consistent in their work. In fact, I’ve noticed some overwork and exhaustion among stu- dents because of the increasing burden. However, the teachers and administrators feel more confident in demanding of their students because the students have been able to handle the increase in work. Do you think the increase in work is entirely beneficial? The increased work is and can only be successful if the program teaches how to learn and how to apply oneself. But I think that the increasing emphasis on writing is beneficial. Writing, of course, helps to organize thoughts and think logically, but it also helps in achieving goals because of this. A student who is strong in writing ability is able to relate to himself and is able to pull more from the whole picture, and is able to give back more in return. The con- fidence of a student who can relate to him- self is built up, and self-confidence is a ma- jor factor in the quality of work. The more confidence, the better the work. Mrs. Gail Lee Have you noticed any change in the academics since we moved to the new school? The new facility has definitely improved the quality of instruction in the Art Depart- ment. Students can better utilize their class time because less time is necessary to clean up since all materials have a definite storage place. The numerous sinks also make clean-up much quicker. Has the quality of the students work improved? Yes. The storage for individual student work keeps work easily accessible and in good condition. We have a new ceramic room which is dark enough for audio- visuals. The classroom furniture and arrangement makes more individualized instruction and special projects possible. The special equipment provides new curriculum possibilities. For example, there are large work tables for advanced students and for the ceramic and enameling area. Also, the new spray booths and ventilation system help prevent possible health hazards. Kevin Markham Have you noticed any change in the academics since we moved to the new school? I think that the students’ attitudes are better and because of this they are studying harder. I’ve noticed that some of the stu- dents are working harder in sports, too, because of the new facilities. Do you think that this has dettracted from their academic work? No, they’re working more in academics, too. In fact, I think that overall, the stu- dents’ grades are better. Have any of the administration’s new rules concerning the new facilities affec- ted the academics? The administration has cracked down on violations of rules because of the newness of the school because they want to keep it nice. They have been stricter in the academic courses, too, and | think it’s good because these strict rules teach stu- dents self discipline. Has there been a change in the at- titude of the students because of the new school and if so, has this changed the academics? The students have a new pride in their new school, and this pride makes the stu- dents want to do more to uphold it. Change in Academics 95 First-hand experience Ss Academically-related clubs at RHS were more than just extensions of the classroom — they were explorations into aspects that couldn’t be brought out in class. They gave students a chance to gain experience. FBLA members could learn typing and shorthand in class, but could use these skills in competition only through the FBLA. Academically- related club activities brought informa- tion learned in the classroom to life. FBLA and DECA members put their business training to work through their money-raising projects. Not only did they learn proper salesmanship, but also obtained good practice in their bookkeeping and management skills. FBLA members put their skills to the test in the district and state FBLA com- petitions. Students enrolled in art and history Intense with concentration, Carolyn Somazze and Alfred Hankla pour over parliamentary law procedure with Mrs. Gayle Oliver before attending the FBLA regional conference. Dressed to impress for their mock wedding, Sonya Mclvor and William Henry cut their miniature wedding cake to start the traditional reception festivities. 96 Club Activities often joined the Art and History clubs to further pursue their hobbies. Art stu- dents loved the projects and art shows sponsored by the Art Club, and history buffs enjoyed the History Club’s treks to historic sites throughout Virginia. Stu- dents enrolled in Home Ec. or Vo-Ag enjoyed the FHA and FFA because the club activities not only brushed up their skills, but provided them more time to work at homemaking, and agriculture. Foreign language students joined language clubs to experience first-hand the customs and traditions of the coun- tries they studied in the classroom. French and Spanish club students had several meetings to celebrate foreign holidays, where students dressed in costumes for the French Club’s Mardi Gras, or broke a pifiata for the Spanish (continued) r i ‘ Attired in her riding habit, Mrs. Norah Jones helps Michael Moret and Stephanie Branham set up the food for the French club sponsored “pan- cake fry” in celebration of the Mardi Gras. mibye eI FEBRUARY as-a6 PRICE publicize the upcoming Hi-Y-sponsored ping- tables, Adam Coleman silently awaits the end of pong tournament. the meeting.

Latin Club mem- bers attended the Junior Classical League’s Latin Conference in Roanoke. They also dressed in Roman costumes and performed plays for the club and for other foreign language students. Publications at RHS were produced by staffs who put their English skills and wits to work to create the newspaper and the annual. The Devils’ Advocate staff cropped, drew, and created editorials for the monthly newspaper. The Owl staff worked many long, hard hours to meet deadlines so that the yearbook would arrive before the end of school. Both staffs put a little something extra into RHS’ publications. Most clubs at RHS weren’t time- wasters, where activities were nil and low. Academically-related clubs had members who were interested — in the club, its activities, and the experiences they could obtain from the club. The classroom couldn’t take students out into the business world or back to an- cient Rome, but through the activities of the academically related clubs, students were able to visit worlds other than the classroom. Club Activities 99 Striving for a goal Non-academic clubs at RHS dealt with service, competition, or perfor- mances rather than classes. Clubs such as Hi-Y or the Weather Team didn’t stem from a class, but the members did learn. They learned about working toward goals, about providing some ser- vice to the school or community, and about having some fun, too. The Second Brigade and Weather Team were programs wherein students learned a skill, to help others in the community. Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y students participated in conference and the Model General Assembly. The SCA was the students’ own mini Washington D.C., where school activities were plan- ned and the students’ ideas voiced. For some clubs at RHS, membership had to be earned. The National Honor Society and the Varsity and Monogram had strict requirements; academic record for the NHS; athletic perfor- mance for the Varsity and Monogram Clubs. The Band, Chorus and Forensics squads were organized for perfor- mance. Band and Chorus members devoted hours to practicing for perfor- mances. The Forensics Team competed at district and regional levels. Non- academic clubs weren’t part of a class, they were part of an ideal. 100 Club Activities IALAC (I Am Loving and Capable) stories cap- ture the attention and boost the confidence of SODA partner Bobby Brooks’ sixth grade group.

Club Activities 101 Given the choice, most normal stu- dents would rather go to class in a brand- new school than in an old one. Given the choice, most normal faculty members would rather teach in well-equipped classrooms than in poorly-stocked ones. Given the choice, most administrators would rather supervise things in a beautiful school than in an ugly eyesore. Rustburg people weren’t given a choice, but they got their wish anyway. Classes in the new building couldn’t be compared to classes in the old one. Buildings are nice, but they’re just that — buildings. A building’s just a shell without the people who make it tick. People studied — not the new building. People taught — not the new building. People saw to it that everything ran smoothly — not the new building. The people of Rustburg High School were the ones who would wind up being surprised by the goings-on of 1980. Not the new building. Senior pride comes as no surprise You heard it from everyone that first day of school. “Hey, how’s it feel to be a senior?” You just sorta nodded and smiled, and they knew it had to be great. And it was, too. There was a certain prestige in be- ing a senior, and you felt like you were on top of the world. You had to learn a lot those first days of being a senior. It wasn’t as important, being an upcoming graduate, as you thought. Sure, you earned a little respect, but mostly, you were treated the same as ever. It was a big surprise, learning that in everyone's eyes a senior was special, but not something to worship. You expected more than that. You gloried in the recognition as a senior. Breaking in the lunch line, leaving class early for lunch, having a special sec- tion in the parking lot, all these made you feel so proud. “Hey, look what I can do!” - Sometimes, no one else saw the pride you felt as a senior. Often, teachers dis- cussed “senioritis”’, but they considered: seniors a sort of a walking disease, not a monument. They never saw how you — glowed each time they asked your grade section, and you answered “12-6”. That “12” was so important to you. It meant — something. : Quiet moments in Mrs. Bushong’s third period Poetry class give Tammy Cunningham a chance to catch up on sports scores from the night before: Pizza Hut provides a winning atmosphere for Charles Poole and David Thompson as they propose a toast after a victorious football game against Gretna. 104 Seniors Thoughts come quickly for Ed Fletcher in Mrs. Bushong’s Poetry class.

So many things rallied around in your mind, waiting for you to come to terms with them. The excitement of being a SENIOR, and the sad realization that you only had a little while in the brand- new builing that you’d been promised for years, gave you a bittersweet feeling about leaving high school. You looked forward to moving on, but. still, graduating scared you. You almost envied the under- classmen; they still had so much time left. But most of the time you forgot about this being your last year. Anyway, there was too much going on to worry now; you'd worry later. Then someone 106 Seniors would mention graduation or college, and that knot in your stomach would return as you thought about leaving behind twelve years of your life. Maybe you'd never see anyone you went to school with again after June. “Hey, I just don’t want to think about it.” That’s what you said, but you did anyway. The seniors’ first year in the new school, and their last, was something pretty special. You crammed it all in, everything you could get out of the new facilities, and out of your last year.

Weekends seldom “slipped up” on a senior. When Friday came, plans had usually been set up for a couple of days. Sometimes “plans” meant pizza at Sal’s with the gang, or a movie with a special date. Several weekends were crowded — in schoolwork that just had to be done, if only with reluctance. If a Saturday did roll around with nothing planned, seniors cruised -Lynchburg, or got together with friends to talk. Not many weekends were wasted. Sometimes weekends got pretty hec- tic.

Sure, there were games where interest was gone, and the seniors yelled out of a sense of duty rather than spirit. But no one could mis- take the spirit when a section of seniors in the bleachers rose to join in the silent cheer, or when they showed up for foot- ball games where they shivered throughout the game. There were still a few devoted seniors who yelled for every touchdown and every basket, and remained loyal even in defeat. Maybe it wasn't the kind of spirit that won wide recognition, but when it came to winning the spirit thermometer, or yell- ing for the class of ’80, the seniors had the kind of spirit it took.

The seniors made their own good times during Homecoming. Walking in the parade, yelling at the football game, and “getting down” at the Homecoming dance were all part of the seniors’ enjoy- ment of Homecoming. Part of the fun was dressing up in Fif- ties’ clothes and present-day clothes to walk alongside cars of both eras behind a banner that said, “Old Traditions, New Beginnings.” Then, the Homecoming game enthused the seniors, and the school’s choice for King and Queen. Steve Farmer and Sharon Shanaberger, made the senior class proud. The entire senior class enjoyed their moment in the spotlight, as their last Homecoming ended at the dance in happy memories.

From parents, teachers, friends, and Mr. Campbell, the senior guidance counselor. College, a job, all were among the decisions made by seniors. For some, the choice was easy, but not so for others. But as June approached, who worried about the future? June meant the end of high school and the start of summer, and for most seniors, the graduation trip to the beach was their only worry.

All fun and good times, right? And then, senior year wasn’t a win- dow you looked in anymore, it was here, and that back car was filled with those one-time juniors, scared by the coming ride. It felt eerie, finally being on the roller-coaster after years of waiting in line. Suddenly, those seniors were you. After that first confusion at the begin- ning of the ride, it was pretty great. The only thing you dreaded about the senior-year ride was getting off to let next year’s passengers on. They'll find, just like you did, that the waiting was worth it.

Not the old nose-to-the-grindstone effort, but the kind of effort it took to reach a happy medium between schoolwork and outside interests. The top ten was special because those students didn’t always struggle; they were tops, but they were also involved. Top ten was touch and go for most of the class of ’80’s high school career. Until the second quarter of senior year, the top ten was really the top fourteen, with several spots tied. Second quarter grades made the difference, though, and the top ten was set, with a tie for one position. All that special ability in the top percent of class made the top ten spots not part of a race, but a statement that there were a lot of “tops”. ‘a : iM Y rey Charles Rath Various activities were part of — Charles Rath’s year.

Top Ten 119 End of the awkward years To the class of ’81, junior year was a landmark year, an arrival to the ranks of the upperclassmen. No longer caught in those awkward years at the beginning of the high school career, juniors had time to enjoy the limelight that coming of age brings. And junior year. is a coming of age. Unlike freshmen and sophomores, who still had to make a place for them- selves in high school, juniors had already Morning commons area activity lures Rhonda Ange! away from friendly conversation. Determined to find a good shot, Pat Riley scans the commons area crowd during third lunch. 120 Juniors arrived’ to their own position. No more struggling for identity; by junior year, the student either had it, or he didn’t. For- tunately, most of them had a strong sense of school and class spirit. It was peaceful, too, to reach the end of a period of struggle, and the beginning of a period of self-awareness. By junior year the student had achieved his class rank, and — even more importantly — his status. Now was the time to enjoy those last two years of. high school, to revel in the knowledge that they had suffered through two long years on the bottom. True, juniors could not enjoy the position that seniors held,: but there was no more searching for a place. The juniors had come of age; for the most part, they were surprised and happy at what they saw. j Early morning chatter with a few close friends keeps Roger Cash occupied.

Under new rulings, students would be required to satisfac-- torily complete a competency test before graduation. R.H.S. students anx- iously awaited the second part of the ruling — which would be the first class to take it? The ruling went into effect for the class of ’81, and the junior class was the first to take the competency test. No one worried, but the big complaint was “why do we have to take another stan- dardized test?” According to most juniors the test was very easy, “no problem at all”. Once the tests were over, many juniors were willing to admit they were a good idea. No one should graduate without some basic knowledge.

Juniors 123 December date Sometimes it takes something original to receive recognition. The Junior class changed a few old tradi- tions, and received a little recognition, with their Ring Dance. Instead of order- ing their rings in the fall of their junior year, the class of ’81 ordered rings in the spring of their sophomore year, for arrival in the late fall. The Ring Dance was held on December 1, instead of the usual late winter date, and most juniors were certain theirs would be the first Ring Dance ever to escape cold weather — but the cold weather appeared - anyway. Due to a shortage of funds, and a lack of time to raise money for the Ring Dance, the dance was held in the R.H.S. commons area. But music by “Hotz” and a little originality made the Ring Dance special. 124 Juniors While waiting for their names to be called, Carl Blankenship, Lisa Hall, Scott Tolley, Linda Mitchell, and Ricky Tren intently watch Mr. Bill Skinner distribute class rings.

It was nothing at all for a junior to spend close to ten dollars for a ticket, not to mention the gas money, and beg permission from their parents for a chance to hear, live in concert, their favorite rock star or group. But why go to all that trouble to hear at a concert what could be heard on an album at home? “Because it’s great to finally see them live”, or “the music just sounds so good at a concert.” Watching the crowd gather around the stage to try and see their idol up close made the money paid on a concert worth it. There were even a few Rustburg juniors who screamed and pushed to gather around the stage to gaze at their idol awhile themselves.

Meeting with guidance counselors about future plans and decisions about possible job and college prospects were time consuming for many juniors. Several third-year students began college preparations with the PSATs, or Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. A good indicator of what the Scholastic Aptitude Tests are like, the PSATs gave juniors a chance to obtain some first- hand knowledge about the standardized college testing programs and avoid sitting down to the real college boards with no idea of what the tests are all: about. Many juniors were disappointed with their PSAT scores, and most agreed that the test was the hardest they had ever come across. All the hard questions and almost impossible problems served their purpose, though — they prepared the juniors for a second chance.

Juniors 129 Sophomores leave the blues behind Sophomore year has such a_ bad reputation. Ex-sophomores say it was “dull”, “a drag”, and “no fun”. There are even jokes about sophomore year. Juvenile humor is called “sophomoric”; in baseball, a newcomer’ sophomore year is generally considered jinxed. And sophomore year is such an in-between kind of time. Not really rookies at high school, sophomores aren’t quite pros, either. It happens every year. Or does it? The class of ’82 proved a lot of those old wives’ tales wrong. Sophomore year wasn’t dull; there were lots of things to do. Sophomores were eligible to participate in varsity sports, and many proved to be assets to their teams. Being in the second year of high school even proved to be a plus at times; after all, they were recognized now, instead of be- ing lost in the freshman crowd. No, the sophomores class didn’t fit any of the old middle-year molds; they didn’t . need to. The class of ’82 brought their own talents and personalities to their sophomore year; if, at times, it was a drag, it was no second year jinx — it was just a — part of high school. It wasn’t necessary to fall back on old, worn-out excuses when things weren’t the best. The sophomores made the year their own.

The new high school offered lots of oe — soa hiding places, and many sophomores . : a took advantage of them. The auditorium was a perfect place for stu- dents looking for sometime alone with a special someone. There were lots of lit- tle nooks and crannies throughout the auditorium where students could hide virtually unnoticed by teachers. Even the stairways offered places where students could sneak a private moment. The stairs leading from the history department to the business wing were rarely used — for walking. These stairs became a great meeting place for a few privacy-seeking students. The faculty didn’t let these hiding places go without searching, once they caught on to what was happening. Teachers began to patrol the obvious spots; but with the size of the new high school, and with all the corridors and crannies,the resourceful student could always find a hiding place.

Being a member of the Rustburg ee ———- oa High School Band kept several sophomores on the run as they juggled schoolwork and other activities with their responsibilities as a band member. Often the long hours of practice inter- fered with members’ plans and obliga- tions to other school organizations. Band members prepared for the football season by practicing for six hours a day during the summer in order to put on the best performances possible for the fans. Sophomore Lisa Hall, an R.H.S. majorette, found that “The practices were rough. . During the summer, we only had a fifteen minute break for the whole day. And once school started, band practice interfered with everything. But, I'd like to be in the band again.” Second-year students had a hard time juggling school and band, oc- casionally missing out on a few school activities, but most band members agreed that no matter how much trou- ble it caused, being a band member was worth it.

Freshman classes are geared mainly to introduce students to the high school atmosphere, but sophomore year is a cros sroads for a student, the year he decides whether to choose a business curriculum for the rest of high school, or an academic, college-bound program. Sophomore classes were more dif- ficult and complex. Many sophomores were in upper-level math classes, and advanced, college-bound sophomores were in an accelerated English program, a first at R.H.S. Lots of sophomores were into their second year of a foreign language, and found second year’s in- depth study a lot more difficult than first year’s introduction to the language. Un- like freshman year classes, where the class was geared to the students, instead of the students geared to the class, sophomore classes were often rough going. at _ ee In search of some gum, Kim Taylor digs through her pocketbook during third lunch.

To quite a few sophomores, the day when those awful metal bands would be removed was a great occasion. It ranked right up there with opening presents on Christmas morning and getting a driver's license on a sixteenth birthday. Many students who had suffered through the ordeal of braces for a few years were fortunate enough to finally be rid of them in their sophomore year, after long months of counting the weeks until removal and brushing and cleaning diligently would end. Braces just got in the way; most brace wearers dreamed of the blessed day when they could smile with teeth and . not with tracks. It was always so embarrassing to smile broadly in school pictures and have the glare from those shiny silver braces show up in the final prints. Even though the dreaded braces served a worthy purpose, most sophomores thought the results were a lot better than braces themselves.

They didn’t go through the same kind of fear that their forerunners had had to. deal with. Not really, anyway. Even though the freshmen were pretty well-adjusted to high school, freshman year was a lot different from eighth grade. No longer just drifting around on the edge, freshmen were “of- ficially” high school students, with a name — and with a lot to work out. Classes were different, as freshmen had more electives and harder required courses. There was a new high school, and once again the class of ’83 had to search for classes and lockers. Even the attitude toward freshmen had changed; there was a lot less of that “little kid” stuff from upperclassmen. Freshmen had already passed that stage a year ago. Freshmen had a lot to look forward to — and a lot to learn — in the new high school. They had four whole years of sports, clubs, © and activities to look forward to. They had: four whole years of loafing, laughing, and sharing to wait for. And they had four long years of books, pencils, and studies to wade through.

Students used that half-hour break for socializing, homework, and just ‘ relaxing for a while from the school day. Each student had his own method of putting the lunch break to good use. Some time, of course, was spent eating. And the lunches that students ate were almost as varied as the dif- ‘3 ferent types of lunch activities. Some | 40 7 ° a Na eee. bought the cafeteria lunch, and those ances with extra-big stomachs bought dou- | ble lunches. Many students enjoyed | the al la carte line where individual | dishes could be bought for more | finicky eaters. The brown bag lunch was still popular, but the contents | varied for each student. A few still went for the old standby — bologna sandwiches — but others got into gourmet lunches with chicken, turkey, or Tupperware containers of salads and vegetables. A few students abstained from lunch altogether, preferring talking rather than eating. Others were so wrapped up in eating that they sat by themselves, intent only on their lunch. Lunch was a per- sonal thing, and each R.H.S. student added his own private touch.

While all the upper- classmen got those brand-new red lockers with the neat little upper com- partments, eighth graders and freshmen had the old beige lockers that had been at the Rustburg Middle School for years. Of course, there was a reason for the upperclassmen getting the new lockers; after all, they had seniority. And most members of the faculty agreed that the lower classmen were just too short to reach into the top compartment of those lockers. This didn’t sit too well with some of the freshmen; everyone was always telling them they were short, and they could live with that. But when the school itself told them they were just not tall enough — well, it was just a lit- tle too much to take.

The Differential Ap- titude Tests measure students ability in such areas as math, language reason- ing, clerical speed and accuracy, and space relations, and the evaluation taken of the scores determines whether a student is qualified for the career choice they indicated on the test form. Other factors taken into account are the education a student plans to acquire, and whether the student is willing to ob- tain the necessary education for his career choice. Most freshmen hated the days of testing and weren’t very eager to receive their test results. The tests are helpful, though, in helping students decide what career they are capable of.

WLVA, a local popular music station, featured comic “hits” from the R.H.S. jukebox on the air. Students eating lunch in the commons area made the jukebox the brunt of several lunch-time jokes. Even visitors to the new high school encountered the jukebox, as it was one of the first sights to greet enter- ing visitors, and played for most of the school day. The jukebox even made a guest appearance at the junior Ring Dance, when it was plugged in by a few prankster juniors. Rarely did anyone en- tering R.H.S. miss the jukebox. Not only was the jukebox famous, it became a popular gathering place for students. As soon as the doors opened in the morning before school, some stu- dent had a quarter or two ready for a lit- tle music, and a crowd would gather as the songs started blaring out. Certain songs became favorites of the button- pushing students, and other members of the student body groaned as the same old song was played again and again. Eventually students began to tune out the jukebox. The popularity of the same old songs died out, and the jukebox became a nuisance instead of entertainment. That is, until some new songs that the students could jam to were added to the jukebox. Then, sud- denly the jukebox was re-discovered by students eager to hear that favorite song, again and again, until it too became tiresome. The jukebox added some needed diversion to R.H.S., and livened up some otherwise pretty dull, quiet moments in the commons area. Sure, it wasn’t always appreciated, but the student body would definitely have missed its blaring tones and worn-out songs. Rustburg’s good-old jukebox, complete with throngs of students and three-year-old songs, became a school monument to most R.H.S. students. tapi date Saag — =a Deep in thought, Wanda Hunter concentrates on her daily math work. 150 Freshmen William Pennington Gary Pierce Forrest Reynolds Kept busy by Mrs. Jean Johnston’s Earth Science assignment, David Thacker, Lisa Cheek, Claude Ogden, and Mary Hale enjoy the benefits of the new science wing.

Always before, the freshmen were the objects of many practical jokes and a lot of teasing, but with the eighth graders at the high school, the freshmen avoided a lot of trouble. For the first time, the freshmen had the upper hand over a class, and it was an awful good feeling to know that instead of being tormented themselves, the freshmen could do ai little tor- menting. The eighth graders suffered because of this, but for the freshmen, it was a blessing that they could avoid the trouble this year that they had suffered through last year as eighth graders.

Freshmen 153 Last of the small-time students It was scary, coming into high school for the first time. The school was new, the people were new, and being an eighth grader and feeling sort of unwanted didn’t help much. Every aspect of high school had eighth graders nervous and confused. And it took some time to learn the ropes, time that made the eighth graders feel out-of-place. Eighth graders had to wonder what was expected of them. Would the upper- classmen treat them as part of the high school? After all, having the eighth graders at the high school was still a new thing, and next year the eighth grade will return to the middle school. Would the class of ’84 be accepted as high school students, or just the last of a temporary nuisance? It took some time, but the eighth grade learned that being a part of the high school was a two-way proposition. They had to do their part, just as the upper- classmen had to do theirs. To be a part of © the high school meant to become in- volved, and that’s what the eighth graders did. Adjusting was hard. Even the freshmen took a turn at kidding the eighth graders, and making them feel out of place. But. the eighth grade was part of R.H.S., and it didn’t take long for them to become ac- cepted. Between classes, Lynn Pulliam catches time to chat with Sharon Shanaberger about the upcoming Rust- burg-Altavista basketball game. Before the hectic school hours begin, Lisa Trodgen listens in awe to the whispered tales of Lisa Roberts.

G. Dirzuweit Underdogs When the upperclassmen were eighth graders, things were a lot dif- ferent. The middle school was the kingdom for an army of self-centered eighth grade “kings”. But the eighth graders at the high school didn’t get their year as “top dogs.”. Deprived of their year as the number one class at the middle school, the eighth graders suffered through a year as the underdogs instead. The eighth graders never got the chance to miss classes because the mid- dle school was putting on an assembly and needed a few eighth graders to make speeches. The eighth graders at the high school this year have to put off all those privileges until their senior year. The upperclassmen had their mid- dle school “senior year”, and then their senior year of high school. But the eighth graders this year didn’t have that chance. 156 Eighth Grade Steve Cash Chris Charlton Larry Cindrick Lucille Clements Adam Coleman Richard Creasy Kim Cunningham Jamie Dalton Gene Daniel Mac Davis Judy Dixon Cindy Dodge William Dodson Scott Doss Sharon Duckworth Vo-Ag students Danny Massie and Sharon Mayberry wait patiently for another of Mr. Keith Carroll’s instructional films.

Since Brookville was a rival of Rustburg’s, and since any change in schools is usually viewed very skeptically, quite an uproar was raised by students and parents alike. But the change was made, and for a short time Rustburg Middle School interesected with Brookville Middle School. They learned to deal with situations that at first were bad and found that once they relaxed a bit, their time at Brookville could prove to be enjoyable in- stead of hated. Although they kept their loyal status as Rustburg Devils while at Brookville, they learned a valuable lesson about human relations. And now, the eighth graders were back for their first year at Rustburg since at- tending Brookville, filled with fear and an- ticipation for their first year at the new high school, and loaded with a lot of knowledge on adjusting to conditions.

Some people just love to pick on the little guy. Eighth graders could expect to be shoved or teased at any moment by big-bully upperclassmen looking for their turn to be the teaser instead of the “teasee”. Being shoved into lockers while walking down the hall or being walked over while going down the steps became a common occurrence for many eighth graders, who often plotted a secret revenge on those pesky upper- classmen. Rarely did the chance for revenge ever come, for most eighth graders had to suffer through the humiliation of being the target for a lot of practical jokes. Sure, a lot of the pranks and jokes played on eighth graders — the shoving, tripping, and hitting — were done by students who didn’t intentionally mean to hurt or em- barrass the eighth grade students, but the abuse did make the going rough. There is a consolation, though — some- day eighth graders become upperclassmen.

Exploratories expand choices Although the eighth graders didn’t have a big choice in their classes, they did have an interesting exploratory program. The exploratory classes that the eighth graders took were in nine week blocks, with class changes each nine weeks. Eighth graders had a new course each time a quarter ended, which meant a lot more interest in the classes. One exploratory class in the eighth grade program was a language course. Students in this course first spent some time being introducted to foreign Lisa Trodgen Lee Tuck 162 Eighth Grade Nancy Tucker langauges in general — their origin, their similarities, and how they relate to modern-day English. Then the students began to learn a few of the basics of speaking, with a special emphasis on Spanish, French, and Russian. The stu- dents found learning phrases out of foreign languages a lot of fun, and prac- ticed their foreign sayings on other mem- bers of the student body. Other courses offered in the eighth grade exploratory program were mechanical drawing, art, and other Sherry Turner Scott Tweedy regular high school courses. Although the classes were too short to go into more than an introduction and outline of the course, the eighth graders did obtain first- hand knowledge of the types of courses that they could take later in high school. All eighth graders were required to take a new course at R.H.S. this year — Consumer Math. The course was designed so that all graduates in the future would have a basic knowledge in money-management, checkbook balanc- ing, and the planning of a budget.

AY ft Prod Ln ben Jamie Wright Kevin Wright Richard Young Brian Yuille Eighth Grade 163 Working teachers surprise many Rumors began circulating early last spring. A Group of teachers had been sighted carrying huge boxes full of old junk out to the old breezeway, where other teachres loaded these boxes into a battered yellow pickup and sped away. Soon the gossip was confirmed: Rustburg teachers were actually helping to move to the new school. Teachers working? If the shocked students had stopped and thought about it for a minute, they would have easily seen the motives behind the teachers’ hard work. A student stays in the same high school for four or five years, but some Rustburg teachers have nailed down the same post for tw enty years or more. If a student had a right to complain and bellyache about the terrible conditions at the old Rustburg High School, then so did a teacher. Teachers, after all, were human; they wanted new classrooms just as much as the students. That was the reasoning behind the hard work and long hours. That was why principals Pendleton, Murray, and Stinespring spent all summer organizing work crews and haggling with negligent workers. That was why teachers like Mr. Marshall Turner shoved crates and boxes — around everyday before coaching foot- ball. That’s why there’s a new Rustburg High School.

By the end of 1980, more than a third of Rustburg’s faculty had either earned their Master's Degree or were struggling toward that goal, and the strain of being both a teacher and a student was at tim es tremendous. Mrs. Nancy Gregory, who earned her degree in the summer of ’79, said that the inconveniences seemed minor when compared to the benefits of a furthered education. What does it feel like to be at both ends of the educational totem pole at the same time? “I think it makes you a lot more sympathetic toward your stu- dents,” said Mrs. Gregory. “At least it did with me. I found out what it was like to have to sit through a boring lecture or do a lot of busywork. “It was also a lot of fun. It’s a good feeling to know that you’re still able to think differently, and still able to grow.” After the dedication of the new gym prior to the E. C.

Dogion has been a faithful member of the Lynchburg Road Runners for more than seven years. Composed of long- distance runners from the area in and around Lynchburg, the Runners meet everyday and run between 15 and 100 miles a week. Dodgion, who also doubels as the coach of the strong Rustburg cross-country team, has logged at least 18,200 miles in the last seven years. That’s enough to run from Norfolk to San Francisco 5'2 times. Or look at Mr. and Mrs. Glen Reichard, who are active in the outdoor sport of white water canoeing. When spring and summer roll around, the Reichards pack up life jackets, a canoe, and a picnic lunch, and head to Long Island and the Staunton River. They ride the rapids all the way to Brookneal; when the water's right, the trip can take six hours. The Reichards say it’s a great way to spend a Sunday.

Not only the faculty, but the secretaries, cafeteria workers, and custodians had been at the new school during the summer to see that all was com- plete and in readiness for the opening of school. Once school opened, the hard work continued. The office employees dealt with the students’ needs and the piles of paperwork with smiles and cooperation. Late slips for students, typed reports to the faculty members, and the accounting and paperwork for the school records kept of- fice workers busy at all times. The cafeteria workers were swamped in work throughout the year. The new kitchen equipment helped the job, but hours of hard work went into keeping the lunch and a la carte lines moving. The custodians made sure our new school kept its spotless appearance, and during the rainy weather when the school ceilings leaked nearly everywhere, the custodians worked diligen- tly to see that the water was mopped up, and containers placed under the leaks. The teacher’s aides and other staff members filled in where they were needed to help the new high school run smoothy in its first year. After showing a tractor-pulling film to his Vocational Agriculture class, Mr. Keith Carroll engages in some light conversation with his students.

People from the Rustburg area have always supported the high school with cash, as well as with cheers. But with inflation chipping away at cor- a porate profits, many people connected with the 198 0 OWL expected a rather lackluster year for advertisement sales. Staffers began combing Rustburg, Lynchburg, Altavista, Appomattox, and Concord back in June of ’79, expecting to find tightfisted little businessmen clutching their hard-earned dollars in sweaty palms. What the annual staff actually found, though, was not at all what they had ex- pected. Businesses, in spite of the money shortages, dug a little deeper into their pocketbooks and came up with enough money to buy a tremendous amount on OWL ads. The patrons of the 1980 OWL came out in force—and surprised a lot of skep- tical people in the process. We make it simple. Simple to own. imple to drive. Simple to buy. 3914 239-2645 O1d Forest Ro.

Pr : 5 ae SE ae eet Renee Calahan finds diversion in a best-seller EISSN Bocce, The best surprise of all It almost seems strange to wait until the last seven pages of a yearbook to talk about something that hap- pened way back last Sep- tember, but people have always placed a lot of emphasis on first impres- sions — that first meeting, those first hesitant words, that much-anticipated job in- terview. People have been known to make important, far-reaching decisions on the strength or weakness of a first impression, and sometimes beginnings can make or break a re- lationship. But what about re- lationships between people and an intangible thing like a school year? Do first impres- sions carry as much weight then? Does it matter if things do or don’t exactly click around school those first few weeks in the year? Rustburg people found out just how important those tricky first impressions really are. Something was definitely wrong with those first few days of school. There was a (continued) Closing 211 Early morning commons area chatter interests Sharlene Calahan and Barbara Cindrick, while Alone among the bleachers of the new gym, a single worker runs some safety checks before the beginning of basketball season.

Everyone felt it. “Man, it was terrible,” said one junior. “It was like going to school in a graveyard or something.” KRustburg had never been compared to a cemetery before, and the feeling shocked and scared a lot of people. ——— What was the problem? Some said it was the hot weather, but that wasn’t it — there had been even hotter weather in the past. Some claimed it was disappoint- ment with the flaws of the new building, but that theory, too, was flawed Rustburg had been let down many times before. Some even claimed it was the loss (continued) Stalking the stacks of the Campbell County Library during an Advanced Government field trip, Mark Moorman searches for a_ political philosophy book to complete his assignment.

Maybe it was just that everyone had expected too many surprises at Rustburg High School. The new building was supposed to have been the magic cure for every little ill. People ex- pected greater cooperation, more exciting classes, better food, cleaner hallways, fewer regulations, more of this or less of that. What they dis- covered was that even after the tremendous changes, even after a few million dollars of taxpayers’ money and a few million hours of hard work, Rustburg was ... Rustburg. There were the Ready to hit the field before a rain-soaked game against Liberty, the J.V. football team loosens up next to their old-school locker room. 214 Closing occasional fights, the boring lectures, the disagreements with friends; but there were also the quiet moments of sharing, the interesting dis- cussions, and the silent smiles that passed between special people. After everyone got over that initially-bad first impres- sion, after the ordeal of mov- ing was over, after everyone put aside their lofty expecta- tions, it was business as usual at Rustburg High School. After they made it through their first impres- sions, Rustburg people found out that regardless of the setting, time, or cir- cumstances, Rustburg peo- ple were still Rustburg peo- ple. Maybe that was the best surprise of all. 5 we ; . ae ts re Se —— Clean-up crewman Mark Epperson relaxes for a second on the Sunday morning after the Homecoming dance.
