The mood again shifted as contes- tants on Klassroom Kwiz spun the wheel of fortune and cracked Blue- stone Senior High School, 130 to 110. The next week, the wheel proved fickle as Fleming lost to Freeze High School 170-160. Classical strings entertain students during a seri- ous assembly. Concentrating on his music, Jeff Moore, a member of the Roanoke City String Orchestra, plays Brian's Song. Straw scattered across the cafetorium floor sets the mood for the Sadie Hawkins Dance sponsored by the yearbook staff. Resting under one of the trees in Dogpatch, U.S.A., David Key waits for the taped music to resume.

Sharing the same stage, a shocked Coach James T. Moore received a carnation from yearbook editors after the crowd clapped enthusiastically as the Dedication of the 1975 Colonel was read.
