4 Introduction The hub of — Augusta County The “Draft’’ was a common nickname for Stuarts Draft during the I98I-82 school year. The draft registration was a part of I98I-82. This book was drafted many times before it became what it was supposed to be. Stuarts Draft acquired many nick- names over the years as it did newer industries and businesses. The Draft, which is the most common nickname, has grown from a simple little town to a town with five industries: Nibco, Mastic, Hollister, FMC, and the newest addition—Hershey. The Draft has four banks, twin movie theaters, grocery stores, hardware stores, not to men- tion a new fire department. Registration for the draft was in effect during the I98I-82 school year and in- volved a great many of the students. Males had to register within one month after their eighteenth birthday or stand a chance of being arrested. Many people felt that this was very unfair while others did not. While Stuarts Draft was growing and male students were registering, this book was being drafted. Draft followed draft followed draft until the “Draft” was drafted.
