Did you notice the plants in the library? Did you ever wonder from where they came? If you had noticed and wondered, then take a look at these pictures and think. Stu- arts Draft High School did not function solely on money from the county it also came from the businesses, civic orga- nizations, and private citizens of Stu- arts Draft. Yes, our school functioned with their help. The Sportsmans Club gave their time, talents, and money to allow us to sit on those new bleachers which are safer and more comfortable than the old 6 Community

key role in their future. Such seniors as Tammi Rodgers explained what it meant to her to have a job: ‘I like hav- ing a job because of the money, but also because | don’t have to depend on my parents so much.” “Having a job is fun, but I like it best because of the money.” says David Rice, who worked at Exxon in Waynes- boro.

Below: Amy Rice and Rhonda Sprouse watch the football game from their position on the new bleachers that the Sportsmans Club helped buy. ones. The Sportsmans Club took the time to raise one half of the money to pay for the bleachers. The football players liked to eat, right? The Sportsmans Club paid for their meals so the players, staff, and cheer- leaders could enjoy a good meal before the game which was provided by the Old School House Restaurant located in the heart of Stuarts Draft. The doctors of Stuarts Draft Family Practice, Dr. Richard Miller, Dr. Dennis Hatter, and Dr. John Forbes, gave us their time and talents as physicians. These doctors were at each football game and took time to be there in case of an emergency or injury. These men had exceptional talents and they felt free enough to give of their time and talents to Stuarts Draft High School. The athletics benefited much from community support but the school it- self got support also. The civic organi- zations of Stuarts Draft contributed much to SDHS to make it beautiful and help it to run smoothly. Mr. Landis said, ‘There are so many organizations that contribute to SDHS that | do not want to leave anyone un- mentioned.” The florists of Stuarts Draft, The Flow- er Gallery and Gift Shop, and The Vil- lage Green Florist gave us tremendous service with flowers for Homecoming, the Prom and other special occasions. Their tremendous service included dis- counts on flowers, set up, and prompt delivery. Thanks to all those who were consider- ate enough to help or donate their time, talents, and money, This school was glad the businesses and civic organiza- tions of Stuarts Draft felt free to give. by Sandy Wright and Robin Watts Community a |
