                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal.

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

In images such as this these, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's work spans a broad range of subject matter, including scenes from work life at Norfolk Western railroad, his Henry County roots, and inspirational religious drawings." &#13;

This image depict the Dumas Hotel on the right side of the image. The Henry Street Bridge is seen in the middle of the image. Jack and Jill's Soda Shop is also on the far right.

                <text>"The late David A. Ramey captured images of life in Roanoke, many from memory. In images such as this these, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's work is noted for his attention to the small details and the great effort he put into his work. 'If you expect to get anything out of it, you've got to put something into it,' wrote Mr. Ramey." &#13;

This image depicts Henry Street through the middle of the drawing, and "Well Ave" cuts through Henry Street in the foreground of the image. From left to right, the labelled businesses are, "Weebys Gro ABC", "308", "Pool", "Ebony Club", "Hotel", "Pool", "BPW". Several people and cars are crossing the street.&#13;

St. Andrew's Catholic Church can be seen up the hill on Jefferson Street, and two nuns appear to be walking to the library from the church. Five people are walking around the street and the Library Yard. The artist signed the work twice and also wrote, "Patton Ave 1957". There appears to be some ink staining from a possible work on the back.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

In images such as this one, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's writing captures the spirit of a community of people who welcomed and supported each other." &#13;

This image depicts Henry Street at the intersection with Centre Avenue. The 1st Street Bridge is featured in the center of the image. To the far left of the image, there is the Virginia Theatre, North Carolina Mutual, and Kaiser Record Store. The Norfolk and Western Railway can be seen off to the right of the image, as well as a glimpse into Downtown Roanoke. In the top left corner the artist wrote, "Henry Street Bridge By David A. Ramey 2007 A Happy Place".&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

�Forewor d
As we began o ur se ni o r yea r, man y o f u s
looked forward to our h appiest schoo l session.
V./e knew there would be fun-p ac ked moments;
however , we did not once forget the ser io u s p reparatio n fo r life which lay before u s.

Our high

sc hoo l yea rs wi ll h elp u s t o meet the futur e w ith
a greater and happier outlook on th e world. That is o ur hope for you as yo u turn t h e
pages of thi s annual, a nd recall the happy moments the pict ures of fellow-students may
bring to mind.
Since we want to remember Fleming and the things fo r which sh e stood, we ch os e
the SE IOR RI NG as the theme of our yearbook.

Ma ny sen io rs se lected t h e blu e stone,

wh ich symbolizes the traditional F lemi ng colors, blue a nd go ld .

Others p re fe rred the

red or black stones, for reasons unknown to us, but we a re sure their ring means ju st as
much .
On one side of the ring is a picture of Colonel \Vi lli a m Fleming, fo r whom o ur school
was named. We think he wou ld be proud to know we st ill honor hi s name and ch e ri s h
the ideals he established .
On the opposite side of t'1e nng 1s the picture of the schoo l.
our experiences in the hall s of our Alma

always look forward t o com in g back in later
years to refresh our memories of past experiences,
and to see those who will be treading the halls
we once trod.
The Annual Staff has tried to make this the
best yearbook eve r.

We sincerely hope eac h

page wi ll help you recall with delight your school
days and the life-long fri ends you made.

Our sch ool ha s yet to acquire th e mellowness a nd grace of th e sp irit that com es o nly wit h age.

Being a se nio r means a lot. It m ea ns checking credits and picking up required subj ects needed to g radu a te. It means cheering the teams to victory as
they st ruggle t o win. It means pub lishing the year book , Senio r Day, t h e Senior
Play, the Pro m and New York. It mea ns wearing the trad itiona l grey and march ing sedately down the a isle.
But, being a se nio r means mo re th a n this. It mea n s the serious rea li zation
of wha t lies before us. It mean s the beg inning of the proper adjustment to fut u re
liv in g.
Being a sen io r means the ending of happy relationship with teachers and
fellow-students . It means that we a re about t o beco me F leming's trad ition. It

MR. TOM DIXON

1\IIRs. VIVIAN DICKEN S ON

Juniors, at last, with ju st one more year ahead!
A junior leads a busy life, so we found that we were no exceptions to the
rule. Along with important studies were our social activities.
We sponsored a comic basketball ga me and the annual Christmas formal
dance.
The Prom, with a romantic setting, soft music and delicious refreshments,
was the real highlight of the year.
Our dreams of four years are almost reached - we shall soon be "the Seniors."

Colone lettes
successful
In sp ite of having a practically gree n team this yea r, th e Colonelettes had a verv for
tournaseason. They lost only three out of th e twelve games played. This placed them in third plac~
ment rating.
Sarver, the only sq uad membe r with more than one previous year's experience, proved a good
captain and a good forward, pi ling up a total of 200 points.
as
Arrington, who changed from gua rd to forward this year, mad e a good partner for Sarver,
did Stanley.
Buckner a lso switched positions, from forward to guard, and proved the backbone of the defense
crew.
F e rrell and Hud so n were able support for Buckner as was Umbe rger, who traded places with
Hud so n in the strategic position und er the basket.
eir
The other sq uad mem bers were able sparring partners for th e regulars and kept them on th
l\'I eador,
toes. They were Bostian, Prillaman, and Hylton, as guards; Ruth and Nancy Callison and
as forwards .
Abbott, as manager and Webber as her assistant, were very good manage rs in th eir bu sin ess-like
\V ays.

"THE TIRELESS ATHLETE"
B y PARK ER LOWELL
I'm glad the game is over, in every joint I ache,
With vim and zest l gave 111.y best for Alma Mater's sak t..
With antics proud
I thrilled the crowd.
Now well-earned rest I take.
I twisted, turned and tum.bled, and as the ganre advanced,
For fully sixty minutes relentlessly I danced.
1Vf. an, woman, ckild,
M y grace beguiled.
Cheers echoed w hen I pran ced
I ncluded in the line-up, friends, ·11 0 name of mi11e appears
No triple threat am I and yet, I lubricate the gears.
No heights I climb,
But hark ye, I' m
T he gal who leads the cheers,

- From Sports 11/eek
The squad, und er th e ab le and effici ent leadership of Su e .Vfun sey, supported both Varsity teams at games
and tri ed to encourage good sportsmanship am ong stud ents.
In order to know each oth er better, th ey had a deli ghtful Christmas party and spo nsored a dance dur ing
the yea r.
It was a real treat to have a mascot, Nada J a ne Smith.

of the s tudents not in the Class.
The Journali sm Class sponsored th e second assembl y prog ram in a kick-off campaig n for subsc riptions.
T he Halloween iss ue of th e paper carried a surp ri se for th e stud ents and th e bi ggest improvement the pape r

                  <text>In 1949, William Fleming became part of the Roanoke City School System through the annexation of part of Roanoke County by the city. William Fleming was moved to its present location in 1961 near Hershberger Road NW. In 1989, eight auxiliary classrooms were added to accommodate the arrival of ninth graders on campus as middle schools were established in the city. A new $57 million building opened in 2009 next to the existing facilities and the construction of the school's first on-campus football stadium was completed in 2010.</text>

Historical Note:
Greenvale Nursery School was a non-profit school established in February 1934 by early
childhood specialist Bertie Clinevell with the help of the Junior League of the Roanoke
Valley. The school opened to provide quality, developmentally appropriate childcare
services for children of working parents. It was one of the first childcare centers in Virginia.
Care was provided based on a sliding-fee scale based upon income. Some of the support
services offered included a resident pediatrician, speech therapy, sick childcare, and
special education.
It was initially housed in three rooms located in the old railroad YMCA building on
Shenandoah Avenue and 12th Street, NW. The rooms' heat and water were secured by the
Salvation Army while Norfolk &amp; Western, which owned the building, provided the electricity.
Because of its early affiliation, the school was first known as the Salvation Army Nursery
School, with the name changing to Greenvale after a move to the old Andrews home on
West Campbell Avenue known as "Greenvale." The school immediately began to grow and
moved several times to increase its ability to meet the demand for service. In 1947 the
school was accepted as an agency of the United Fund (United Way of Roanoke Valley). In
1957, land was purchased and construction began on the school's building on Westwood
Boulevard, NW. In 2019, Greenvale was acquired by Total Action for Progress (TAP) and now
serves as one of TAP’s Head Start Program.

Collection Description:
Repository: Roanoke Public Libraries, Virginia Room
Accession Number: 2025.02.27
Title: Roanoke Greenway Collection
Physical Characteristics: 8 record storage boxes, 1 oversized flat storage box
Donated by: Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission
Arrangement: Documents are arranged by subject matter, geography, and chronology.

Processor: Angela Stiefbold, 2026.
Historical Note:
Proposals for establishing greenway corridors in Roanoke can be traced back as far as the
plans prepared by John Nolen in 1907 and 1928. By the late twentieth century, a number
of individual municipal planning efforts in the region had proposed greenways, bikeways,
and river corridor trails.
In the early 1990s local citizens began a coordinated effort for the development of a
regional greenway system in the Roanoke Valley. In 1995 the Roanoke Valley
Greenways/Open Space Steering Committee, working with the Fifth Planning District
Commission, the City of Roanoke, the City of Salem, the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke
County, held community workshops and produced the Conceptual Greenway Plan,
Roanoke Valley Virginia, which was adopted by the participating municipalities in 1997.
Concurrently, a jointly funded staff position for the greenway effort, the Roanoke Valley
Greenway Coordinator, was established in 1996 and first held by Liz Belcher. In 1997 the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission was established through an intergovernmental
agreement to guide the regional implementation of the greenway plan. A nonprofit,
Pathfinders to Greenways, Inc., was also founded to involve volunteers in the greenway
effort. The Roanoke Greenway Commission hosted the first Virginia Governor’s
Conference on Greenways and Trails in 1999. In 2016 Botetourt County joined the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission.
The Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission and member municipalities applied for and
received numerous grants that helped fund greenway construction; developed two
updates to the greenway plan (2007 and 2018); acquired land and easements and
constructed dozens of miles of greenways; and coordinated greenway construction with
other regional planning and improvement projects. Liz Belcher played a key role in
overseeing this work. She retired from the position of Greenway Coordinator in 2021.

Sections I-III include documents related to the development of the Greenway, including
correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, reports, and newspaper articles originally
placed in these folders. Within each subsection, folders are generally arranged
chronologically. Collection contents are not comprehensive documentation of greenway
commission business; the exception being the contents related to the Bernie Carter Grant
fundraising effort, which include the grant application and correspondence, and
comprehensive records of donor solicitation and response.
Section IV is a wide-ranging collection of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as
some pamphlets and newsletters, on greenways and related issues, both in the Roanoke
region and more broadly. Folder contents and headings are as received.
Sections V and VI include images mostly from 1997-2001, and just a few from later
dates. Photographs primarily document greenway construction, ribbon cuttings, and
events where the greenway was promoted. Some of the slides were arranged in carousels
for presentation purposes, as noted; however, only one accompanying script is included.
Slides were removed from carousels in the order they had been placed; in some instances,
there were gaps between slides in the carousels. The remainder of the slides were
received organized in sleeve pages in binders and that organization has been maintained.

                <text>The collection is contained in 8 document boxes, and 1 oversized flat box and is broadly organized as follows:&#13;
Sections I-III include documents related to the development of the Greenway, including correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, reports, and newspaper articles originally placed in these folders. Within each subsection, folders are generally arranged chronologically. Collection contents are not comprehensive documentation of greenway commission business; the exception being the contents related to the Bernie Carter Grant fundraising effort, which include the grant application and correspondence, and comprehensive records of donor solicitation and response.&#13;
&#13;
Section IV is a wide-ranging collection of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as some pamphlets and newsletters, on greenways and related issues, both in the Roanoke region and more broadly. Folder contents and headings are as received.&#13;
&#13;
Sections V and VI include images mostly from 1997-2001, and just a few from later dates. Photographs primarily document greenway construction, ribbon cuttings, and events where the greenway was promoted. Some of the slides were arranged in carousels for presentation purposes, as noted; however, only one accompanying script is included. Slides were removed from carousels in the order they had been placed; in some instances, there were gaps between slides in the carousels. The remainder of the slides were received organized in sleeve pages in binders and that organization has been maintained.&#13;
&#13;
Section VII includes oversized items, including planning documents and aerial images.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Manuscript Collection is a collection filled with the many manuscript pages and stories created by David A. Ramey.  His expressive and energetic storytelling is largely related to his life and the intertwined history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His writings are completed completely from memory. Not only are Mr. Ramey's writings immersive and detailed, but they also serve as a distinct and clear marker of what life was like in Gainsboro and North East pre-Urban Renewal. &#13;

Biographical Note:
This collection of genealogy documents and family photographs was compiled by Lorna

Scope and Content:
The collection consists of two document storage cases, one containing family history
materials for the Stone / Kearfott / Katz / Barrow and related families, and the other
dedicated to materials related to the life of Orren Wilson Barrow (1836-1913).
The family history and genealogy materials are well documented, and almost all
individuals in photographs are identified. Focus is primarily on the ancestors of Dr.
William Conrad Stone, with additional narratives on the history of some family lines.
There is significant biographical information on artist and genealogist Robert Ryland
Kearfott (1890-1969), brother of Mary Lu Kearfott Stone, and Orren W. Barrow (18361913), brother of Dr. Harry B. Stone’s mother.
Orren W. Barrow was Captain of the “Henry Guards,” Co. H, 24th Virginia Infantry
Regiment, CSA. His papers in this collection include: an 1855 daily diary; essays;
correspondence (1850s-1890s) with family, friends, colleagues, and a sweetheart; and a
manuscript history of the Henry Guards.

Historical Note:
Philip H. Trout (1873-1964) was born in Staunton, Virginia, and earned a degree in
engineering from Lehigh University. Trout came to Roanoke in the 1910s, and worked
for the Virginia Bridge and Iron Co.
The Virginia Water Company began construction of the dam that created the Carvins
Cove Reservoir in 1926. In 1936 the Roanoke Water Works purchased the assets of the
Virginia Water Company, including the dam and reservoir. The City of Roanoke
purchased the Roanoke Water Works in 1938, including the Carvins Cove facilities. In
1944 city residents approved a $2 million bond measure to connect the Carvins Cove
reservoir to the city water system; the project was completed in 1947.

Scope and Content:
The collection consists of a scrapbook compiled by Philip H. Trout. It contains
newspaper clippings, magazine articles and other ephemera related to the Roanoke City
Water System in the years 1943-1952, with a focus on the connection of the Carvins
Cove Reservoir to the city’s distribution system. Other topics covered include the
recreational use of the Carvins Cove watershed and reservoir, improvement of the water
distribution system within the City of Roanoke, and the provision of water supply to the
Town of Vinton.

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;

Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

A chronological listing of articles on Explore Park published in The Roanoke Times
October 17, 1990, Page 1
Director named for Explore environmental center
Rupert Cutler, a former Audubon Society senior vice president who ran the nation’s forestry
program in the Carter Administration, was introduced at a news conference.
October 18, 1990
Leading environmentalist to head Explore center
The River Foundation, is a bold move to get Explore off the drawing board, announced
Wednesday that it had hired a nationally known environmentalist to run the proposed
environmental center that would be the centerpiece of the project’s first phase.
March 2, 1991
Explore, zoo unveil plans to join forces
March 7, 1991
Red wolves coming to Explore Park
For Explore, the red wolf represents a chance to get some meaningful programs under way
before the park itself is built, as well as to validate its environmental credentials with potential
donors, Ewert says.
March 10, 1991
Walk in the woods
As early as this summer, Ewert says, Explore could start some high-profile breeding programs
with endangered species. Within three months, Ewert and new environmental director Rupert
Cutler also plan to announce a list of a half-dozen other environmental programs Explore will
start work on right away.
March 31, 1991
Construction of National Conservation Training Center in Harpers Ferry Announced
Ed Clark, Wildlife Center of Virginia: “If Explore is trying to raise money to create a regional
North American wildlife facility, they’re gong to have a hell of a time to justify a $15 million first
phase when they’re competing with $60 million [for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service project in
Harpers Ferry]. To put something like this federal facility at Harpers Fery is really going to preempt a lot of the draw Explore is going to collect.”
April 11, 1991
Explore sees need for ‘natural area’

�The Explore Park’s governing body may decide to legally designate much of the 1,200-acre site
as “natural areas” not to be developed…. Rupert Cutler…recently suggested that the plan be
formalized with some legal designation.
April 19, 1991
The tipoff by Joe Kennedy
Roanoke’s Earth Day 1991 celebration will be Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Wasena Park.
Former U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who co-founded the first Earth Day observance, will
speak at 1:30 p.m. Rupert Cutler, director of the Lewis and Clark Environmental Education
Center at Explore, also will speak.
April 22, 1991
Founder call for environmental education
Former Sen. [Gaylord] Nelson told an enthusiastic crowd that three things must happen in order
for industrial nations to switch from being environmental consumers to environmental
conservationists.
May 5, 1991
Explore strikes a deal
Park will sponsor federal seminars
The Explore Park has forged a formal agreement with the federal government to sponsor
environmental conferences for the U.S. Forest Service. Explore planners Saturday heralded the
deal as a breakthrough in the quest for national recognition.
May 10, 1991
Editorial: Explore Park on the move
Spring has brought something resembling a flurry of activity at Explore. It’s a welcome reminder
that the project is still here, on track, and making progress.
June 6, 1991
Explore will not retain Ewert as project director
The River Foundation confirmed Wednesday that it will not renew [Bern] Ewert’s contract as
project director when it expires July 31.
June 7, 1991
Editorial: Ewert and Explore part ways
…Explore has raised only $1 million in private money for construction. The amount raised thus
far is tiny…. Without Ewert, there would be no Explore. He deserves the community’s
gratitude….
June 17, 1991
Explore determined to escape from Ewert’s shadow
In the wake of the River Foundation’s extraordinary ouster of Ewert as project director this
month, the board now looks to environmental director Rupert Cutler to raise the millions
necessary to build the propose $18.5 million living-history state park.
July 10, 1991
Explore, Mill Mountain Zoo make agreement official
The Explore Park and Mill Mountain Zoo signed a contract Tuesday that may go a long way
toward ensuring the survival of some endangered species—the red wolf, the Florida panther
and perhaps the zoo itself.

�July 31, 1991
Under, over and back on the road
Peregrine falcons in downtown Roanoke, a possibility once dismissed, is again heating on the
front burner. Rupert Cutler is intrigued by the idea, as is Beth Poff of the Mill Mountain Zoo.
Cutler says he’s contacted state game experts about the possibility of releasing falcons in
Roanoke, where they would prey on, but not eliminate, ledge-roosting pigeons.
September 1-2, 1991
Two-part recap by Dwayne Yancey of Bern’s Ewert’s impact on Roanoke
“He was typically so full of enthusiasm for his project,” says Rupert Cutler, who headed fundraising campaigns for a number of major environmental groups before joining Explore as
environmental director, “that he would move into a prospect with a zealous salesmanship that
didn’t permit the person being courted much of a chance to explain their needs, their limits, their
interests. Ultimately, the potential funder felt their priorities weren’t being listened to.”
September 6, 1991
Hofauger farmstead to be re-built at Explore Park
“Major changes could be made to [the park’s] design. If we can get a consensus, we’re more apt
to get more local financial support and state financial support, he says. It’s all part of his plan to
get more local groups involved in the planning and operation of Explore, which in the past has
been tinged by the impression that the park is the pet project of a handful of prominent Roanoke
business leaders.
September 26, 1991
Explore changes name
The Explore Park has a new name: Virginia’s Explore Park. Environmental Director Rupert
Cutler said he got the idea after visiting what is no billed as Georgia’s Stone Mountain. The state
board that governs the park agreed Wednesday to adopt the new name.
October 9, 1991
1,000 acres of Explore left wild
The Explore Park board voted to set aside 1,004 acres—about two-thirds of the park—in
“natural area” never to be developed. It sent a signal, environmental director Rupert Cutler
hopes. “I wanted the community to know that environmental protection is a very high priority
objective of the Explore Park program and this action today should send that message,” Cutler
said.
October 22, 1991
Explore officials give assurances; Roanoke council fears competition
The Explore Park won’t compete for business with a renovated Hotel Roanoke and conference
center, Roanoke City Council was assured by park officials. “We all agree that we need to
reopen Hotel Roanoke,” [Rupert] Cutler said. The idea of a major hotel at Explore in eastern
Roanoke County is just a blue-sky dream at this point, he said.
November 3, 1991
Environmentalists picnic at Explore
There was Roanoke birder Fred Cramer picnicking Saturday at Virginia’s Explore Park and
talking up the fact that he’s holding Roanoke’s annual Christmas bird count there this year.
Explore’s environmental director, Rupert Cutler, stood in his hiking boots on a stack of bricks
and apologized for an environmental no-no nearby—Explore’s draining a wetland.

�November 20, 1991
Explore Park receives first big-name donations
Rupert Cutler was working late at the office Monday, proudly typing out his own news prelease
about the Explore Park’s first national contribution--$5,000 from the Ford Motor Co.—when the
phone rang. It was the Chevron Corp. in California. Another $5,000 contribution was on the way.
With $10,000 in hand, Explore and Kill Mountain Zoo now can start their endangered-species
breeding program.
November 22, 1991
Explore breaks new ground
Center to sponsor 1st conference
The Explore Park, which hopes to make Roanoke an international center for environmental
meetings, has landed its first conference. More that 100 forestry experts from throughout North
America will meet Dec. 2-5 at a conference co-sponsored by Explore and the U.S. Forest
Service to discuss new ways of managing the nation’s forests.
November 28, 1991
Explore simplifies scheme
No Phase One plans cost $6 million less
Explore planners have once again scaled back the size of the proposed living-history state
park’s first phase, this time from $16 million to $10 million. Instead of building a re-created Blue
Ridge frontier town, the plan now calls for the development of eight small-scale “activity areas”
that would teach visitors about life on the frontier. Cutler says the project should evolve slowly
over time. That reflects more realistic fund raising goals for a start-up project such as Explore.
November 29, 1991
No longer ‘proposed’
The result is a program that has delighted Roanoke Valley educators looking for field trips that
can give students a hands-on feel for Virginia’s frontier history. “It’s no longer the proposed
Explore Park, Cutler proclaims. “It’s the actual, being-used-by-the-public-now Virginia’s Explore
Park.”
December 5, 1991
Explore defends its red wolves
Wednesday should have been a gratifying day for Explore Park director Rupert Cutler. A group
of Native Americans had arrived to build a communal Indian “sweat lodge” that Cutler hopes will
help draw droves of paying customers to the park for years to come. Instead, Cutler found
himself running damage control on Explore’s recently announced plan to breed rare red wolves
at the park for eventual release into the wild.
December 8, 1991
Explore to get Roanoke support
After months of delay, Roanoke City Council is expected to agree this week to allow the
proposed Roanoke River Parkway to cross the Roanoke Valley regional landfill property. This
would remove the last legal impediment to the construction of the $15 million access road from
the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Explore living-history state park.

�December 22, 1991
Firs &amp; Forestry by Alan Sorensen
This year’s tree-farm trip seen from ‘New Perspective’
The U.S. Forest Service had held a national workshop in Roanoke. Rupert Cutler, director of
Explore Parak’s environmental education center, had left me little choice but to drop by. The first
thing that struck me was that Roanoke was hosting the affair. Thanks to Cutler’s contacts, the
Forest Service had arranged to hold this conference Dec. 3-5, in Roanoke. It was the second
gathering of foresters and others to discuss something called “New Perspectives” in managing
national-forest lands. The profiles of both Explore and the Roanoke area were raised a little
thereby. I gather that “New Perspectives” reflects anxiety and change afoot in forest
management.
January 15, 1992
Falcons to roost on Dominion Tower
Downton Roanoke Inc. will contribute $8.000 to the project. Mitchell Byrd, a biology professor at
the College of William and Mary, has committed $15,000 of a peregrine fund he administers.
Rupert Cutler hailed the cooperative venture as “the return of nature to the city.”
February 17, 1992
The Question Box
Do you think Explore Park will have any benefits for the city?
Bowers: “I think [environmental director] Rupert Cutler is trying to get Explore redirected in the
way it should be. I think [of] Explore as a park, an environmental study area. I think that under
the direction of Rupert Cutler—who I’ve become impressed by in the several times I’ve met with
him—I think he’s going to redirect Explore.”
May 17, 1992
An environmental champion gets back in the ring
In a career spanning four decades with a who’s who of national groups, Rupert Cutler helped
reshape America’s environmental policies. Now he faces another challenge, one that he didn’t
expect when he “retired” to Roanoke last year: reshaping the Explore Park. The man who left
Washington to get away from the political wars found himself in the middle of one.
May 17, 1992
Project will explore Cutler’s connections in fund-raising area
Explore’s backers say they’re more optimistic than ever about raising the private money
necessary to build the park The reason? Rupert Cutler and his contacts with potential
contributors nationwide. Shenandoah Life Chairman Joe Stephenson, who heads the River
Foundation, talks up Cutler as the project’s savior.
June 5, 1992
Clouds don’t give park a break
In a waterlogged clearing in the woods east of Roanoke, Explore planners held a barbecue to
mark the reassembly of the 1830s farmhouse that will serve as the park’s focal point for

�teaching visitors about what life on the Appalachian frontier was like. This no scrawny log cabin,
but a real house—two stories in all. The reassembly cost $240,000 in private funds.
June 14, 1992
The Falcon File
Peregrine falcons, once on the brink of extinction, are being re-introduced to the Roanoke
Valley. Five peregrine chicks arrived Saturday. They’ll be raised in a special “hack box” atop the
former Colonial American Bank building at Campbell and Jefferson in downtown Roanoke.
Explore Park director took an interest and campaigned to bring peregrines to Roanoke.
Downtown Roanoke spearheaded an $8,000 fundraising drive.
July 15, 1992
Associated Press (Daily Press, Newport News and other papers)
Park board agrees to pay for expenses
Money to come from land fund
Explore Park received financial breathing room Tuesday when its board agreed to pay operating
expenses for educational programming by tapping state funds originally allocated for buying
land. “Our backs are to the wall as far as funding,” director Rupert Cutler said. The board
received $6 million from the General Assembly in 1988 to buy land. Project Engineer Richard
Burfron said that’s all the land [1,300 acres] the park needs for awhile.
July 16, 1992
Richmond Times-Dispatch
New center to breed wildlife
Virginia’s Explore Project and Mill Mountain Zo have joined forces to develop a center for the
captive breeding of endangered North American wildlife.
July 24, 1992
Explore hires top teacher
The Explore Park has hired Franklin County’s Teacher of the Year to run its education program.
Virginia Webb, a Franklin County science teacher, will be in charge of coordinating school pupil
visits. I’m sure we’ll be able to keep the program going,” Cutler said. “We’re right on track.” “I
think there’s a whole new enthusiasm about the project now that Rupert Cutler is on board,”
said Apco President Joseph Vipperman.
July 26, 1992
The Basics
First Phase of Explore opens
Virginia’s Explore Park is finally open—sort of. After seven years of political fireworks and
changing plans, the 1,600 [sic] acre living-history state park just outside Roanoke has
something to show the public for its efforts.
August 1, 1992
Associated Press (Richmond Times-Dispatch and others)
Roanoke landfill to be turned into park
Project to feature visitor center, wildlife habitat

�On a miserably hot summer afternoon, Explore Park director Rupert Cutler seemed oblivious to
the garbage trucks rumbling by piles of sun-ripened trash at the Roanoke Regional Landfill.
Cutler was enraptured by his own vision of the 300-acre site beside the Roanoke River. “We can
turn this site to ecological productivity.” Cutler said a prairie at the landfill site could be
periodically “mowed” by the buffalo and elk. Robert Atkinson, an ecologist at Virginia Tech’s
Center for Environmental Studies, said he came away from the landfill tour impressed with the
concept.

                  <text>The Roanoke Story Initiative is a community-based project created by the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation and Roanoke Public Libraries to highlight historic communities and sites across the Roanoke Valley that are considered endangered due to threats to their physical survival, architectural integrity, or cultural value. This ongoing project includes story-sharing events where neighbors are asked to share documents, photographs, and their oral histories. &#13;
&#13;
The first event was held on August 4, 2026 and highlighted the community of Cave Spring, which was listed on Preservation Virginia’s 2026 List of Endangered Sites, due to an influx of commercial development. &#13;

�In 1882 Edison had
a great idea.
And it Ylasn't the
electric light.

The whole idea of investor-ownership
of electric light and power companies began when Thomas A. Edison and a group
of investors financed his first power plant
more than 80 years ago.
Since then, investor-owned companies
like ours have become an integral part of
America's Free Enterprise system. That
explains why today we have at our fingertips more electric power than any other
country in the world.
And it's this same Free Enterprise
system that puts at your fingertips greater
opportunity, greater expectation for
success than can be hoped for by any
other young people in the world.

for today's confusing insurance
problems enlist the expertise
of CLS&amp;A. Immersed in
his own business, today's executive has no time for mastering complex
insurance and bonding requirements. That's why so many
executives in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states rely on
Charles Lunsford Sons &amp; Associates ... and CL&amp;A Corporation, a
life and group affiliate. Our specialists never stop studying, to
remain abreast of rapidly changing legal precedents and changing
market conditions. They draw on over 100 years' experience to
minimize insurance costs, provide vigilant account management.
These days, when hazards are so great, shouldn't you enlist the
expertise of CLS&amp;A?

From the atom to the sun . . . the universe pulsates with energy in many forms.
The challenge is to find ways ... new
ways ... to utilize the earth's vast storehouse of fuels in providing the energy
needed for this nation to continue to be
great.
The means - innovative technologies, exotic engineering, dynamic architecture -exciting advances that must come if
man is to tap Nature 's lode for the energies
he needs .
From .the smallest part of the universe to the largest .. . that's the scope of
the energy field today. The opportunity for
personal achievement is infinite; the challenge, one that must be met.

There are other things you can do with $3.750 . But none

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle
safely down the street
Where you con speo/., out loud
about your doubts and fears
and what's more
No one ever disappears
You'll never hear their standard
issue l&lt;iicl&lt;iing in your door
You con relax on both sides of
the trocl&lt;is
And maniocs don't blow holes
in bondsmen by remote control
Everyone hos recourse to the low
And no one tells the children
anymore.

of laughter nothing con stand

SCOREBOARD

The field hockey season represented the culmination of 5 long years. Its :mccess was largely due to a group of seniors who have been playi n? hockey since
the 8th grade; An n Smeltzer, Anne Douthat, Beth Koontz, Emily Clark, and
Caroline Tuck.

Definitely the most s1gnif1cant accom phshment for the team was de d g
C hatham Ha ll at home. Nort h Cross is the first an d only team to have , one
this in the 70 year history of Chatham's team. This barrier broken, th ere s no
limit for the future.
The team enjoyed its best season ever (7-3). As expected with_ such a record,
there were numerous awards handed out. Sarah Clark, who missed a yea r of
play, came into her ow n th is year and received the Most Improved Player
award . " Holley Hockey" Bradshaw was the top scorer (accumulating a team
record of points). Emily Cla rk's Best Defensive Award was well-deserved as
her play was crucial throughout the season as goalie. Ann Smeltzer was the
Best Offen sive player and Beth Koontz was voted Most Va lua ble Player by her
tea mmates. Mrs. Davis remarks that Koontz a nd Smeltzer a re the two best
hockey players that have ever come out of North Cross .
"The other side of that coin " says Coach Davis, "is that the season could not
have been a success without the
' work of every player on the team. "
Not enough can be said about the mea ning of such a successful seaso n . fo r
the field hockey team. lt seemed a just reward for years of hard wo rk, dnll s,

Early prospects for the volleyball team were hopeful with six
returning players (five seniors) . And the end brought forth that
hope with a winning record (11-7) of conference play, overall
( 14-9), and third place in the Blue Ridge Conference.
This was largely due to the seniors, shown by individual
awards: Lori Swann and Kim Gotard made 2nd team all conference, Michelle C a lvert and Bonnie Branch made the all tournament team. Bonnie was the exception to this as a rookie
freshman . Other returning players included Amy Hart, Lesley
Prillaman, and sophomore Marie Shockley.
Since there were so many new players, the team concentrated
on basic skills, passing, setting, and hitting. Passing was
especially important since the offense was a 5- 1I one setter and
five hitters/defensive players . They did this at t'irst because the
team was stronger with Lori setting and Bonnie as a defensive
player. However, Swann was plagued by illness throughout the
season, and 'Bonnie was switched to setter. Coach Satterwhite
comments: "For a 1st year player, she did an excellent job."
The six returning players sta rted, along with Bonnie Branch.
Bonnie and Quinn Feldman were also back row defensive
specialists. Besides these two, the other new players were
~o~homor~s Blair Fishburn, Sinclair Ellet, Tammy Jacobs, MarJOne Mastin, and Sophie Childress.
This gives the tea m eight returning players . If they all attend
camp, hopes are high for next year as well.

The Varsity Boy's Basketball team achieved on 18-11
overall record. Its Conference record of 10-2 placed the
team first in the Southern Division.
The highlights of the season come in the form of a home
wi n over LCA in front of a pocked house , and two wins over
P.oonoke Catholic, each by one point. The Raiders also won
the P.oanoke Priv ate School Tip-Off Tournament in
December.
Individual honors won in the VIC Tournament by the
P.aiders were:
Bill Keeney: VIC All Tournament Team.
Jimmy Muscaro : All Conference.
King Tower: All Conference .
Ben Jones: Honorable Mention, All Conference.
The P.oiders will miss the leadership of Whit Wilks and Ben
Jones (1984-85 co-captains). But the return of Bill Keeney ,
Jimm y Muscaro , King Tower , and a sound returning nucleos
should field a strong 1985-86 team.

With eight returning players and three rookies, the Lady
Raiders squeol~ ed to a winning season of 10-9. At a height
disadvantage in almost every game, the girls' basketball
team spent a lot of time on defense and blocking drills in
practice.
Appropriotly , the three senior captains , Amy Hort, Beth
Koontz, and Lori Swann , held the top three scoring positions
on the team , while Lori Swann , Morie Shocl~ley . and Am y
Hort were top rebounders .
The season was highlighted by two wins over LCA during
the season , JJ-27 and JJ-JO. These two games were a lso
responsible for the team finishing with a winning record .
With eight returning players ne xt year, none of w hich will
be seniors, the team looks like will show some strong times
to come in the future.

It's easy.

The volleyball team hod 7 players returning from 1984. J
(Shockley, Feldman, &amp; Branch) hod a great deal of game experience. There was a great deal of row talent on the team. The
emphasis in practice was to turn row talent into skill; passing and
defense were this emphasis for 1985's season .
Branch was the setter in the 5-1 off. with Shockley Feldman, and
Fishburne being the main hitters. Mastin, Ellett, and Koontz were
starters, as def. specialists. The starters were bocked by Jacobs,
Cullops, Capozzi and Snoddy.
J players received individual recognition by the Blue Ridge
Conference: Branch was named to the 2nd team All Conf, and All
Tourney Team; Shockley was named to the 2nd team All Conf,
and All Tourney team. Koontz was named to the All Tourney
team. Feldman set a new school record , serving 191 (JO%) of
total points scored by the team. Branch received a trophy for Best
Offensive Player, Feldman received a trophy for Best Defensive
Player, and Schockley received a trophy for MVP.
The tea m finished the regular season in Jrd place losing to Holy
Cross and LCA. They mode it to the final four of the tournament,
beating RVCS. They defeated Holy Cross once, and LCA twice to
win the Blue Ridge Conference Championship, finishing with a 164 season record.
Miss Satterwhite commends the girls for the way they worked
and improved during the season - putting forth their best effort
at the to urnament. Miss Satterwhite states, " Even though we lost
the first game of a ll three matches, the girls never doubted that
they were qoing to win. I w ish I cou ld bottle the determination,
tea mwork a nd concentration we hod at the tournament and
open it up the first day of practice next year.·· It should be easy
w ith the team returning intact next year.

I've gotta let it out,
I've gotta show the world

Why worry when its worm over here?

Oh why .. .
Why must you waste your life away?
You ' ve got to live for todoythen let it go . . .

With the starting lineup returning
from 1985, the volleyball team set
their sights on repeating as the 131ue
Ridge Conference champions. The
earn used the some 5- 1 offense as
lost year with 13onny 13ronch as the
setter. Ploy was designed to allow
Shockley, Feldmann . and Fishburn to
be the main hitters and Koontz.
Mastin. and Ellett concentrate on
defense . The starters were bod~ed
up by Smith, Snoddy , Cullop . Garcia
and Sarah Shockley. The team finished the season as Regular Season
Champions, losing one match to Holy
Cross and LCA . At the tournament
forth Cross defeated Timberlake and
Holy Cross twice to become 131ue
Ridge Conference Champions for the
second year in a row . The six seniors
will be missed next year. They hove
been very instrumental in the success
of the post two years . The team will
hove, however. a strong nucleus
(!3ronch and Feldmann) to build
around. The junior varsity players
that will move up and the six returning players will mean success in

1986 was a banner year for North Cross Cross
Country for several reasons. First of all, we fielded a
girls team for the first time, and they hod a winning
season . Secondly, our men won the Virginia Independence Conference championship. This is only
the second time in the thirteen year history of the
V.l.C. that someone other than Eastern Mennonite
hos won the title , and North Cross hos been the winner both times - 1981 and now in 1986!

�Stavanger Morning
Central Pond sits thick,
block; ignoring the blinking
conversation of late night stars.
Geese port their way
leaving three o'clock
in the breeze.
Trees drip like damp
towels purpled by a
summer spray.
Circles of iron gates
and sleeping flowers
bend to the grey sidewalk.
Top&lt;lick of heel stirs
lamplight over serpentine
benches.
Churches sing four o'clock
to the moon kissing a
toll gold steeple.
Heidi Childrey

WIFE
I, the carrier
of steel-plated eyes,
lie hidden in the pantry
beside the carton of age
and a box of wisdom.
You read me off
like ingredients
on a candy bar.
Then like a car salesman
you tell the children
of my sweetness
when in taste
you know the truth
of my bitterness.
What you do not know
is all it tokes
is one bite
to kill trust.
Katie Teogue

CURB SITTING

I never realized how dead a Saturday night
could be, resting on the edge of Sunday morning, not quite belonging to either. The
reverence of the holy day hod just begun to
seep in around the edges and mingle with the
weekend debris. Early morning dew was
already beginning to form, and I felt its dampness soaking through my jeans as I sot on the
curb littered with fallen leaves. Absentmindedly,
I fingered a dying cigarette butt and submerged
it in a puddle by my foot. Its sizzle delighted me
as thoughts of you danced through the night. 1
wondered if you would sizzle and die when
thrown into a pool of light.
The night is a different world to me, one that
you dominate with rowdiness. With the first rays
of light, I gain control while you fade away to 0
dream. Why then? Why could I not feel
anything as I sot caught between my two
worlds? Poper cups from 13urger King and candy
!;&gt;or wrappers told of midnight grub runs, empty
bottles spilled in the gutter whispered of forbidden pleasures. A broken pencil peeked from
beneath matted leaves, reminding me of
another school week to come. As Sunday haze
covered the darkness, my week was gone,
and with it the confusion of those long hours between dusk and down. Monday rose before me
like a welcoming haven, offering the simplicity
of algebraic equations and history lessons.
Ashley Waldvogel

�REALIZATION

Long Brown Robes

Yearbook

Silent bells toll
in the folds
of long brown robes.

I see your papered faces
in between my coffee
and
yesterday's
horoscope,
smiling the years away
as if they were dice
rolled again to match
a different number.

Men hold their fingers
to each other
for companionship.
The steeples rise
like bird's flight
to destiny.
Faces, dark
and mysterious,
hide around sackcloth
corners. They squint
at sunlight,
living in the shadows.
Constant now. They' re
reading Greek
word like songs or screams.
John Lewis

Your eyes,
not yet faded
swim in the sun of
eighteen,
smoothing pages
rough with secrets
and faraway homecoming
plans.
The days dragged
vocabulary,
and the nights skipped by
like curious children,
coring for nothing
but new shoes and summer
movies.

We cried when we foiled
and laughed when we
thought about it,
and Mondays went
and weekends come,
and seasons rotated
on on axis of football
and soap opera drama ...
but now the years run like
water
to a
pond of old
photographs
and paper diplomas.
Locked in the pages of
time,
I think of laundry
and an unmade bed.
Tommy Jacobs

When I think of the sincerity bestowed in Your
eyes, all I remember is Your blindness.
Disassociating with society, Your freedoms exist
only in Your mind.
Caught like a butterfly in a cocoon You weave
Yourself deeper into Your own rebellion.
But what is it for?
You hove no reason.
You have no course to soil by.
You see what no one sees only, because You
don't look. All Your boasts and contingents don't
amount to much more than lies.
Like a bear caught in a trap the more You try to
escape, conform if it is possible the deeper the
crocks of reality drill, what You hove carved stands
erect forever.
Febrile ideas put out by the realization that there is
no destiny, no talent in Your world . To hide, You
leave, say it doesn't matter because it's all a fantasy anyway, this the final chapter in a solved
mystery. Piece by piece You fit the mold,
everyone has a home in this world, Yours is in the
ground.

Fielding Douthot

Wishing to Orion
A 1O year old boy with horn-rimmed glasses peers
from a 2nd story window wishing he could play
stickboll but the piano awaits the hands of the
protege
A C student gazes for hours over pages that may
as well contain Latin wondering how A students
breeze without effort and F students don' t care
A little boy stares in awe as heroes in shorts perform in a world of their own he wonders if the
mid-air aerobics will ever come.
These children wish upon Orion night after night
that time and effort spent w on't be wasted
because of a broken hand,
a failed test, or a knee injury.
Ronald Murphy

�Because of his dedication to us • • •

"Who that?" a third grader asked of his
teacher in 1978.
"That's Mr. HudnaU , our new headmaste r. "
"Oh," replied the third grader. "What does a
headmaster do?"
"He runs the school, acts as a college counselor, and raises money for school projects."
"What do we need money for?" asked the
third grader, which absurdly ended the conversation.
I remember the episode weU because I was
that third grader. I am no longer the naive 8
year old who knew not the meaning of money
nor the function of a headmaster. Today I am
aware of the value of a good headmaster and
Bertrand HudnaU II has exemplified the definition.
After having worked at s uch fine institutions
as Darlington School in Rome, Georgia, Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg a nd
Randolf Macon Women's College also in
Ly nchburg, Mr. Hud naU went to Salem Acade my in Winston-Salem, North Carolina which
was his last stop before arri ving at the famed
North Cross School in Roanoke . Since that time
his accomplishments have been many and
great. Aside from his vast know ledge and experie nce in being a college counselor, Mr.
HudnaU has also raised funds for the expansion
of North Cross in our commitment to e xcellence . His greatest achieveme nt is without a
dou bt the mu lti-million dollar construction of
Willis Ha ll. Mr. Hudnall has been more than a
head mas te r for the last te n years, he has been a
frie nd - to all of us, a nd we will miss him
greatl y.

"Hey! Ugly! I'm talking to you!"

Once again North Cross is
transformed into th e North
Cross Institution for the Temporarily Insan e, s h e lt ering
mass-murde rers, drugged-out
rock stars, rejects from the
Gong Show, and candida tes for
a look-alike contest of Johnny
Carson on a bad day. Halloween has reared its g hou lis h
head, obviously having its effect
on seniors' brains and creating
mischief and excitement in the
minds of Lower Schoolers .
The Lower School has traditionally paraded the Middle
and Upper School halls, but this
year came with a few changes.
First, Mrs. Ellis was unable to
lead the throng of space invaders, bizarre animals and
Rambos in the ir caper. Mrs.
Ellis and her traditional role as
a witch were generally missed
by all, but the spirit remained

strong, especially when the
Seniors decided to take part in
the fun. This year, not only did
the Lower School perform their
escapades, bu t the Se niors also
donned costumes and gave the
Lower Schoolers an unusual
treat by cavorting about the
halls in a parade of their own.
In the midst of this festival
fever, the fifth grade contributed the final touch by carving
and decorating pumpkins. The
pumpkins were later awarded to
the lucky winners of the Fifth
Grade Lottery.
The fond memories of this
year's celebration, fond as they
are, are sure to fade in time.
and anticipation of the festivities of the year to corm' will
take place; so until next year.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN .

Meet Aspen the dog, our secre t lo Compass success. A re lati ve of W. R. Hearst's beagle,
Aspen lives for med ia. Although
radio is her favor ite, As pen
loves lo spend a few hours every weekend bask ing in the sun
while wo rkin g on the No rth
Cross yearbook.
Silting in the publications
room one Saturday , I fo und myse lf struck with a horrible case
of write r's block . " Aspen," I
said, "I can' t write th is a rticle
about Evalu ation Day . T he Uppe r School d id so much this
year, even if it was on ly a ha lf
day." "Well , wha t seems lo be
the proble m?" re pl ied Aspe n in
a mothe rl ike voice on ly e xpe rt
dog write rs can use. " First of
a ll , I a m no t s ure how lo link
eve rything toge the r. We had
eva lua tion sess ions, pizza in the
parking lot, the red a nd white
d raft, and a bunch of groovy
games. " "That is too borin g, be
more descriptive. Can you te ll
me a bou t the ga mes?" "S ure ."
Afte r draftin g the freshme n for
Red a nd White l ntra murals the
games ro ll ed to a s ta rt with the

10

first even t, th e whee lba rrow
race . The Seniors buried everyon e, as usual. However the
orange carry and all of its awkward positions resulted in a
Junior class wi n . The ne xt
eve nt, th e banana-stuffingth ree -l egge d-make-a-fool-ofyourself-while -breaking-a- belt
race, gave the Seniors the lead
again . At this point, the Sophomores began their offensive,
striking first with a win in the
wate r-b alloon toss. The pieea tin g penu ltim a te thriller
passed in the parking lot, most
of the pie e nding up in four
stomachs. One stomach was the
biggest, or maybe the mouth
was biggest (who can tell with
the Sophomores, winning the
con t es t by a mil e .) Th e
tiebreaker, the final eve nt, a
lunge for the whole ball of earwax, for the big bowl of beans,
was none other than tug-o-war.
For six hours Packy and his
d irty work crew picked, hacked,
and shoveled a pit big enough
for a swimm ing pool (As a matte r of fact, it was used as a
" bath " for Maria Lawrence).

Afte r the grunting, pulling, falling, and sw imming, one class
won . .. the Seniors . Is th at

�Happy Birthday
Constitution!

"The chefs"look on with enthusiasm (above). "Yes, we really are the people!" (below)

Amid the national frenzy of the 200th
birthday of ou r Constitution, the North
Cross Lower and Middle Schools contrib uted with a variety of activities.
The morn ing began with the fl ag folding de monstration cond ucted by lowe r
school director, Mrs . Holt and SCA president, Rich ie Wolf. Mrs. Yo un g, dressed
as Doll y Madison, led her fourth grade
classes into the crowd or lower school
studen ts gathered around the flag pole,
exh ibiting their signs they had made during their studies of the cons titution .
Though all these s igns disp layed ideas
from the constitution, they were a ll constructed differe ntly . Among these signs
was "Freedom of the press", "Freedom
of assem bly", "3 branches of government", and the biggest one of a ll "Three
chee rs for James Madison." T he studen ts
carrying these s igns were anxio us to tell
their opinions of how the constitution
affects their lives. One girl s ummed it up
as, "It gives you the righ t to choose your
own bubblegum."
Late r that day, Mrs. Ha rt, dressed in
her 18th century red, wh ite, and blue
dress, se rved cake lo the lower school
students. However, the lower school did
not have a monopoly on celebration for
the day - the midd le school had their
contribution a lso . At noon , a ll of the
middle school s tudents brought red,
wh ite, a nd blu e he liu m balloons to the
playground . Mr. Calvert, directo r of the
middle school. read the preamble of the

l8

constitution and as he finished, the balloons were launched. The crowd then
burst into cheering and applauding, many
waving hands in hopes of appearing on
the WDBJ 7 News coverage.
The day had passed uneventfully for
many people, but the North Cross Lower
a nd Middle schools pledged the ir allegiance to the Constitution. Whether studying the content of the Constitution, eating a birthday cake in honor of the
Constitution, or launching balloons, these
stude nts were aware of the document
the ir freedom depends on.

Splinte ring with anticipation, I waited

deck the halls with ' boughs of spirit'.
And, of course, the " Superior Seniors

with a sign of the before mentioned slogan. This had nothing to do with the fact
that the judges were mostl y seniors!
"Okay, onl y a few more hours ' till I get

my stuff. I'm going to treat the Glenvar
effigy just like the Raiders are going to
treat the team ... burn it." "It's getting
late and all the students are wandering
around wondering if they should go home
and complete their homework or make a
night of it!!! The fire department is
psyched so that they can dazzle the faculty with their anti-arson abilities - All
went well and we are now just a black
smoldering pile of ashes . .. "
" We notice all the students that drove
by Friday morning are either wearing red
or white shirts and jeans; it must be Spirit
Day - Oh Boy! The football team is
getting antsy waiting for the Big Game.
All of their worries were put to rest as
they competently beat Glenvar with a
final score of 23-15. "
" Saturday evening finally arrived and
the same people we had seen all week
we re now dressed up, ready to s how their
spirit as they voted for the Homecoming
King and Queen."
The honors we nt to Ronald Murphy as
King and Robin Cunnin gha m as our
Queen. This was the first Homecoming
Court ever; much acclaim was given by
students and faculty alike .
" We heard the band, Third Degree, play-

ing 'steadily' with people dancing the
night away'. " I was amazed at how long
everyone stayed at the dance (probably
due to people needing to stay until the
court was fully chosen!).
"This year's Homecoming Week melted previous attempts at first class spirit
raising. We can't wait until next year
when our brethren (more railroad ties)
come together on this hallowed spot and
dazzle N.C.S. again in 1988."

WHAT'S UP IN THE MIDDLE
SCHOOL
The Middle School, the Middle School . . . so close yet so
far away from th e Upper
School. But that's O.K.! The
Middle School is unique in its
own special way. The ' 87-'88
school year was filled with all
sorts of fun and exciting things,
along with a luff work schedule
for these three grades. To name
some of the group activities that
the Middle School participated
in outside of class would be the
celebration of the Constitution's
birthday, dances and the roller
skating party. Everyone's favorite? The skating party was at the
top of their list. One eighth
grader commented that she
hadn' t been roller skating in 2
years and that it was really neat
to do it again.
When they were in the Lower
School, they worked hard to

move up to the Middle School.
Now that they are in the Middle
School, they have to work hard
to move up to the Upper
School. The majority of the students say that they will really
miss the Middle School when
they "move out." It's kind of
special because they are right in
the middle of life at North
Cross. And how about their
classes? The sixth and seventh
grades agree that English or
math are probably the ir favorite
ones. The eighth graders who
started Latin in September,
seem to really be enjoying their
new language.
All in all, the three grades
that make up the Middle School
have learned a lot this year but
at the same time, they have had
lots of fun. Being in the midd le
isn 't so bad after all, is it?

STUDENT LIFE ... BEYOND SCHOOL
The clock radio comes on at

students ears, and resulting in
our interesting choice of monosyllabic words . A protesting
hand falls on the insens itive

North Cross Academics
Have A Lot of Class

(above) "I am going to build skyscrapers when I grow up,"
Zachary Rosenoff tells us.

Academics are North Cross's strongest
points. Students have a great opportunity
to learn because of the true individual
attention they receive from a superior
faculty. The faculty is there to advise
juniors and seniors with their research
papers, and help the upperclass men by
giving SAT reviews in vocabulary a nd
math. Mr. Hudnall and the Writing Center are always ready to help the seniors
with their college applications.
For the entire body of the Upper
School, there are many clubs to join.
These clubs are ac tive with trips, movies
and various other plans. The French,
Spanish and National Honor Socie ties
also recognize the s tudents' achievements.
The Middle School is very involved in
many co mpet itions. The seve nth a nd
eighth grades practice al school for the
Math Counts contest in wh ich they have
bee n very successfu l in the past. Middle
schoolers also take part in Odyssey of the

Mind.
In the Lower School, classes study a
topic and then take a fie ld trip. The
fourth grade studies Virginia history and
then makes a scrapbook. They also visit
V.M.I., Mo nticello, and other historical
sites. The Lower School has also put
together its own publication of stories and
poems called "The Little Ra ider. "
A North Cross student has the opportunity to participate in educational activities outside the class room. These
clubs, field trips, and research papers
help a student as they get older and move
towards graduation. These advantages
keep academics, students. and faculty ,
North Cross's strong points.

:l:l

�BELIEVE IT OR NOT ...
A LITTLE MOR E CLASS.
No rth Cross welcomed several new additions lo its faculty and curriculum this
year. Dr. Maycock taught a new Adva nced Placement Chemistry class, which
was often found e ngaged in inte resting
experiments, using lots of Lest Lubes and
strange ideas. Many students we re found
once, in the hall, bouncing quarters, and
a no th e r Lim e, pendants were found
swinging from the ceiling in the senior
lounge for one of Doc's assignme nts. The
English Departme nt developed a new
tenth grade English course, covering a
wide range of American a nd European
literature. Appare ntly, some inte resting
journals we re developed from th ese
books. T he Humanities, taught by Dr.
Noffsi nger, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs.
Fis hwick, combined a rt, culture a nd philosophy into an interesting class often
found wandering abo ut the ha lls, a nd
once was discove red in a a lowe r school
classroom, e ngaged deep in the discuss ion . The Human ities class a lso had a
great e xperie nce this year, painting the
mural fo r the Upper School building, a nd
preparing for the festivities al its completion . The class had received a gra nt
from the Vi rginia Comm ission for the
Arts lo design and construct the mural
a nd activities, and the e ntire class was
excited abou t their project.
In add ition, fo ur new fac ulty members
joined the staff th is year. The Language
Department began the year wi th a native

Cuba n, Nancy Haig, Lo Leach Fre nch a nd
Spanish. She had Lo move, howeve r, before the end of the first semester. Mrs.
Sydney Nordt, who has been teaching
lowe r school Spanish, e nthusiastically accepted the responsibility of the third year
Spanish class. Mr. Ra ndy Sibly joined the
Fre nch students for classes. Last year,
Mr. Sibly worked at Salem High School
with the Homebound program, designed
for s tude nts with emotional problems,
who cannot allend regu lar classes. His
classes seem to reflect this concern he
has for his s tudents, and we are glad to
have him with us.
Mrs. Linda Hous ton joined as a library
assistant this year, in Mrs. Maycock's
place. She e njoys her new job, and could
often be found fiddlin g with the computer
and sneaking a bout among the shelves.
Mrs. Houston has two daughte rs, Heathe r
a nd La ura, alte nding North Cross.
Mr. Alan Klink burst his way into the
s pirit of North Cross this yea r, all s miles.
He came as a pa rt-time scie nce teacher
a nd assistant coach to the football team.
Just graduated from VA Tech last s pring,
he seemed Lo know that classes need to
be interesting. His students seemed to
e njoy his classes, and everybody had fun
the Friday before Halloween, whe n Mr.
Klink came to school dressed as Zorro.
We hope to see him next year, too, with
all his e nthus iasm.

�A TOUCH
OF LEADERSHIP
North Cross has pulled its honor code
across the bottom of test papers and
reports for years. It hangs in every classroom and the seniors can write it with
their eyes closed. The honor Council,
representing the honor code, stands behind it each year, full of new and old
members from each class. Fortunately,
the year has not been interrupted too
often by silent excusing of these selected
Honor Council from English classes, and
government notes. The code seems to be
holding up well, and the council has done
a fair job under this year's president,
Katie Stanfield.
The S.C.A. also charged into a good
new year under president Richie Wolf.
Starting in with new ideas even before the
first bell rang, or before the summer
paint jobs were completed. Richie and
the other officers have pulled the school
through their used book sale, a Successful Ev aluation Day, and the reestablishment of Barret Day, now named
Libe rty Day. The S.C.A. has organized
dances and made possible the presence
of an S.C.A. member at all the faculty
meetings. Alongside all this, we re plots of
useful ways to spend S.C. A. funds, one
idea of which was a raffle where students
we re awa rded ticke ts for outstanding
measures and actions. Whatever the use,
the Student Council has certainly met
success and made a lot of headway this
yea r. Richie, I think, is eve n brainstorming fo r years to come.

Are you serious? - Anne and Richie look skeptical
at an S.C.A. meeting.

�LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
AND
LIBERTY DAY
It was a pleasant September morning
that I awoke to face the responsibility of
attending the annual leadership conference along with other such prominent
s tudents and faculty, so kindly hosted by
Caroline Brand. Like birds we flocked
together into the Brands' glamorous living room, and I thought that possibly the
feeling I was experiencing was something
like that of any distinguished political
figure as he gathers with his associates
for a congressional meeting. Afte r taking
orders for lunch, our session asce nded as
we discussed such consequential issues
as prom and what to do with the abundance of S.C.A. money we possessed.
Amidst various opinions, one suggestion
we at last confirmed on was to for the first
time in No rth Cross history to vote for a
Homecoming court to parade at the
dance. Though I was not there, I have
been told that Robin and Ronald greatly
resembled Charles and Diana as they
danced under the spotlight.
Lunch soon arrived to relieve us from
our tired minds and mouths, but soon
enough we resumed our evaluation outside by the pool. The topic of Barret Day
dom inated the last half of the discussion.
Afte r long and grueling questioning and
contemplation, it was decided that Barret
Day would indeed take place. After decid ing this, Barret Day was renamed Liberty Day, from choices such as Wonson
Day, HolJy Day, Bert Day, and Sfack
Day.
T he S.C.A. spent the nex t few weeks
doing hard labor to arrange excursions
fo r Liberty Day s uch as hikes up the

Peaks of Otter, Jefferson National Park,
and visits to the Virginia Tech Geological
Museum or Dixie Caverns.
I, myself, signed up and indeed did
hike the infamous trail to Dragon 's
Tooth. After I arrived at the bus completely healthy and uninjured, I figured
that if I had survived, all must have gone
welJ. So it seemed until I was informed of
the tragedy that Senor and his group
experienced. Upon the last mile until
arriving at the Peaks of Otte r - "It was
overheating, and I knew I could push it
further, but the inside of the van was
beginning to smell like rubber and alJ of a
sudden, KABOOM!! Antifreeze all over
the windshield - I wanted to cry, but I
couldn't disappoint the students, so I
blamed it on Richie for picking such a
wretchedly cold and icy day." Despite the
accident, their hike did take place, and in
general, all went well.

�CLASSIC ACTIVITIES:
LOWER and MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Lower and Middle School at North
Cross have sta rted and participated in various
exciting activities to add spice Lo school life.
These activities built up the students' e nthusiasm for their school, and they gave the
students a break from their hard working
schedules.
The Lower Schoole rs have taken off on
many excursions relating to their school
studies. The Kindergarleners visited Jamison's Farm for a day. The annual second grade
overnight trip to Williams burg also took place
this year. The third graders bounded off to
Natural Bridge while the fourth grade look off
to Monticello, Ash Lawn, a nd VMI. The me mbers of the fifth grade made an overnight visit
lo Baltimore, Maryla nd.
Whe n these stude nts finall y got back into
the swing of schoolwork, they were ready to
start anothe r activity. Eventually they decided
to start a creative writing booklet displaying
chosen stories and poems writlen exclusively
by Lower School students . There was a contest lo decide the title of the book. Each Lowe r
School classroom s ubmitled their choice for
the title. "The Lillie Raider" was chosen.
Mrs. Tower, a Lower School teacher, coordinated the project. Each story or poem was
illustrated by the writer, and the book's cover
was designed by the fi fth grade rs. T he e nd
result pleased the students, teache rs, and parents.
The Midd le School has also participated in
multiple events. The eighth grade look a trip
to Washington, D.C. T he Middle School
S.C.A. has played an importa nt part in making

a large ma1onty of these activities occur. It
s ponsored a wrapping pape r sale to raise
money to improve th e ir Middle School
grounds and facilities. Some of the proceeds
we re also contributed to the school's scholarship fund . The S.C.A. sponsored three
dances and s uch community services as a
Thanksgiving food drive a nd Toys for Tots at
Christmas.
The Middle School also competed in the
National Mathcou nts Competition. The contest was sponsored by the Ame rican Society of
Professional Engineers, NASA, and others.
North Cross had a team of four members and
two alternates who studied together for onehundred to two-hundred hours in preparation
for the regional competition. The North Cross
teams in 1986 and 1987 won the regional
competitions and we nt on to the sta le competitions. The 1988 team was chosen on
February 1, as a result of the school competition. Mrs. McGhee, their coach, was extreme ly proud of her team. She believes that
"There is not an athletic team at North Cross
that works any harde r. " a nd "People learn so
much as a resu lt of just trying out fo r the

"All together now, 1 2 3." Middle School Pare nt' s Night.

The choir s in gs out at the

team ."

Along with Mathcounts, the Middle School
participated in Odyssey of the Mind, a competition in creative problem solving. The team
membe rs met daily to pre pare fo r the big
competition day, March 12.
The largest part that these competitions
played was in writing the children and lelling
the m fee l the success of teamwork.

�PUBLICATIONS: A TOUCH
OF CLASS
The Newsletter and Yearbook staff, this
year, combined into one hard-working group,
with everyone taking pictures, writing articles,
and fighting over the grease pencils. The
quality of the photographs this year improved,
and th e layout and production of the yearbook
as a whol e, has changed and been mad e
better. Quinn Feldmann and David Faddis,
the yearbook and photography editors, have
made sure that hectic classtime and long
afte rnoons and Saturdays were more productive. Richie Wolf and Brady Lee also did a
good job recruiting writers for the Scarlet
Letter.
The yearbook this year was divided into
four sections, each with its own staff and
editor. These section editors were Julie .Lawrence - Class Pictures, Cathie Rice - AcStudent Life,
ademics, Steve Michener and Alison Nordt - Sports. They all we nt
crazy, pushing the ir staffs for deadlin e, negati ves, and articl es, but saw the yearbook to a
s uccessful completion .
The Calliope s taff, too, decid ed to make
som e c han ges this year. Th e y juggl e d

thoughts about negative space, glossy shee n,
glossy pages, and dime nsions. The three editors, Ashley Waldvogel and Katie Teague,
literary editors, and Christine Ke mper, art
editor, attacked their job with enthusiasm.
They traveled lo the middle school carrying
news about a poe try contest, gathered and
selected material. They then sent the rest of
the staff to the l ypewriters and in search of art
pieces.
Both staffs quickly discovered the school is
definitely lacking in typewriters, grease pencils, and rulers, but th ey kept on and pulled
through.

�CLASSIC CLUBS
The Science Club got this year off Lo a
quick slarl by introducing a food drive lo
raise money for their annual trip. They
planned lo go to New York, with prospects of visiting the American Museum of
Natural History and the DNA Learning
Center al the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and maybe see a broadway show.
Though the food drive did nol go as well
as expected, the group still had high
hopes for a terrific trip, despite the cold.
The club also hoped to separate the dedicated science club goers from the ones
who just like lo jump the lunch line, by
inviting many speakers and planning other e njoyable but time consuming activities. Their highest goal was to successfully organize North Cross' first Science
Fair sometime late winter. With the interest that seemed to be shown in the
science departments this year, we are
confident that that turned out as planned.
The Computer Club, again this year,
wo rked fervently to buy new equipment
for the computer cente r. In the past, the
club has raised nearly one thousand dollars, yearly. This year they made efforts
e nough to buy another P.C. Junior They
sold candy and drinks at the basketball
and footba ll games again, making quite a
lot off the cheerleaders, it seemed.
Both the Latin and F rench Clubs were
a little slow in gett ing themselves together
this fall. The Latin Club ac tivities consisted mainly of entertainment (and of
course a little learning too), watching
movies. The club maintains its favorites
to be the game shows and soap operas
they watched during break and lunch .

DOWNTOWN
Why is the business division of a city,
where bums and bag ladies live and loiter, and the sidewalks have cold cement
blocks in neverending squares, called
"downtown"? Is the land in that area just
lower than the rest, or is the next just too
high for that area? And while we're on the
subject, who decides if the valleys are too
low, or the mountains too high? Where
does lower and higher start and who
makes all these justifications and decides
all the answers? Does God? Did he teH
Noah? And, by the way, if Noah was
white, where did Michael Jackson come
from? Did he emerge from a Milky Way
bar or from water-logged dead leaves?
But what if Noah was black? Then how
did all our presidents end up white? And
who decides who should be president and
who should not? Oh, of course, the people decide, or do they really, and if they
do, who decided that the people decide
who to decide for president? The world is
a twisted devious, tampered with place
that has hurricanes, rats, and mincemeat
pies. But every world has many countries,
and every city has at least one
" downtown", which is the business division of town, where the bums and bag
ladies live and loiter, and the sidewalks
have cold cement blocks in neverending
squares.

Such words soothe the mind, for years
would seem like crossing a sea whereas
minutes would be like crossing a creek,
and still these words are truthful for is a

Friend: Seconds at that, but what a cle ve r message to convey and one that the mind
needs to be fed. I thank you for sharing

Messages of morality and money.

Societies
The Honor Society chapters al North

efforts of students. The National Honor
Society al North Cross, made up of leading students, organized and carried out
the scholarship fund drive. They used the
promise of a free day from school for the
classes that sold two magazines per student. Although the junior class was the

was still a success. The National Honor
Society also pieces together the North

The Julio Cotazar Sociedad Honoraria
Hispanicas is the North Cross chapter of
the Spanish Honor Socie ty, given Lo
North Cross in 1983 , through the efforts
of Senor Maisch . The members of the
socie ty have established good grades,
outsta nding cha racte rs, and the desire to
stud y Spanis h. The indu ctions were held
in Decembe r this year. After a Spanish
rec ita tion, the re was a cere mony of candles. Kim Blair had a liule bit of trouble
blowing out he r candle, but managed not
Lo set anything on fire .
The Spanish Honor Socie ty this year
has organized a s tude nt tutoring program.
Third yea r stude nts spe nt a couple of
their study halls a week Lo tutor first a nd
second year students in grammar. That
proved beneficial to eve ryone. They also

hoped to organize a Spanish Club for
future society members, to adopt pen
pals and watch Spanish movies. Another
offset of the Spanish Honor Society is a
Lower School Spanish Club, started by
Mrs. Nordl, who was inducted into the
Society this year as an honorary member.
We wish them luck in their activities and
as future Society members.
The French Honor Society, Societe
Honoraire de Francais, also recognizes
high scholastic achievement. Mr. France
wants the Society lo create enthusiasm
for the French culture, lo understand it
beller, and lo promote international companionship. This year started out with
four members returning to the Society.
The new members were not elected until
afte r Christmas.
The French Honor Society, Loo, organized a Frenc h Club for those who have
hopes of gaining membership. Mr.
Sibley, Loo, was known for promoting a
greater interest in the country and culture
in his students, requiring posters and
other projects that took a closer look. The
Society quickly grew this year from four
members Lo sixteen. Good luck lo their
following ranks.

�MATH COUNTS and

ODYSSEY OF THE MIND
The Middle School participated in the
National Mathcounts Competition and the
Odyssey of the Mind Competition. Both
required the minds of bright and intellige nt students of Middle School age.
North Cross's Middle School more than
sufficiently met these guidelines.
The Mathcounts learn consisted of four
members and two alternates chosen as a
result of the in-school competition. Mrs.
McGhee, their coach, aided them in their
studies of 100-200 hours in preparation
for the regional competition which was
he ld on February 28. The previous North
Cross learns of 1986 and 1987 succeeded in winning the regional competitions, and they went on to the slate
competitions in Richmond. Mrs. McGhee
has been pleased over and over again
with her hard-working team members

each year, and obviously she has great
reason for her pride in her previous and
present teams.
Instead of academic skill, Odyssey of
the Mind deals with the students' creativity. North Cross's team of six students
chose a long term problem from a list of
five. They met and practiced daily with
their coach, Mrs. Logan, in finding a
creative solution to their problem. Then
they prepared their solution and
presented it to judges on March 12, the
day of the local competition which look
place at Roanoke College.
These competitions played a beneficial
role in introducing the success of union
and teamwork to the impressionable students.

�DRAMATIC
TOUCH
A. L. Gurney's " The Dining Room "
was a combination of scenes and conflict.
It involved s ix ac tors and ac tresses who
were req uired lo sw itch from charac ter to
c haracte r, minute to minute. Imagine
s witchi ng from a seven year old gi rl lo a
sen ile old woman, from a wealthy marri ed woman to a common house servant;
a yo ung boy lo an aging father. Of
co urse, the re was a lot of work lo be
done. Timing was the key e le me nt in
ju xtaposing one s ke tch onto a totall y different scene. Finally, the play was performed, hav ing be e n give n e nough time
to mas te r it without los ing the e nthusias m
that kept if from turning s tal e .

The winter musical was simply an evening of show tunes, highlighted with expression and short storyline s implied
within each song. The numbe rs range d
from "The're Playing My Song," " Le t
Me Ente rtain You" and " Cabaret" to
"When I Fall in Love" and " She
Touched Me ."
Despite the small probl e m of a pa rty
hat that had a broken string, which Luke
seemed lo e njoy playing with during that
performance, and Bonny hilling the high
notes in one of her " favorite" songs, the
productions provided e njoyment for both
the audience and the casts. The Musical
Cast: Toni Macias, Nicole Woo, Buffy
Nordt, Bonny Bra nch, Shyama Fried e nson, Gordon Winn, Kevin Carbee, John
Collier, Steven Kwe lle r, narrator.

A TOUCH OF GREATNESS
The North Cross sports year started
with a blast! The football team battled in
the snow against LCA and won the VIC
championship. The volleyball team won
the BRC championship and Coach Satterwhite was awarded Coach of the Year.
In Cross Country, Brady Lee finished
fourth in the state for the girls and
Grayson Prillman was tenth for boys. The
Field Hockey team whipped Chatham
Hall twice.
The basketball season started off well.
The Varsity team won the first round of
the Salem Christmas Classic tournament
against Cave Spring but tragically lost to
Fleming in the second round. The Varsity
girls team started their season with only
nine players which diminished to seven
due to injuries. Despite this set back, they
are doing exceptionally well.
The re is great anticipation for the
spring sports. Soccer players are hoping
to go undefeated, and the tennis teams
expected to finish with outsta nding
records. The golf, softball, lacrosse and
baseball teams have the same high expectations.
North Cross has always had a high
level of sports competition. We are a
small school, but some how we always
seem to have the best qua lity around on
our athletic teams.

�Football
VIC CHAMPS '87
As the thermometer drops and talk of snow
days, skiing and basketball fill the air, the
memory of the 1987 North Cross Football
season remains fresh. Nevertheless, with the
passage of time, emotions are quelled and a
dispassionate overview of the year is obtainable. Therefore as an overview should start,
we must return to the beginning, summer
practice.
The North Cross football season started on
August 14, for two weeks of gruelling conditioning. At this point, certain styles of hitting
the sled became popular. The sled is the
unusual looking contraption with 7 yellow TShaped dummies. These dummies are attached together and placed on runners. The
act of hitting the sled is the art of positioning
oneself in the "down" stance and jumping
forward into the T-shaped dummy without
exerting too much energy and wildly grunting
monosyllabic sounds.
Chris Stevens, a rookie senior, perfected a
silent style of hitting. It consisted of a Law of
Physics which states that in a vacuum a body
in motion will stay in motion unless acted on
by an outside force, namely that of the dummy. And so, Stevens set his stance at ten

yards away and sprinted about seven yards
jumping the last three, hitting the sled and
bouncing back four yards. Another expert
in the sled hitting field was quarterback,
Packy Hutchinson. He alone popularized
the P.H. (Packy Hit). It is comprised of a
normal stance, about a foot away, and then
lunging into the dummy with the force
exerted from shifting one's weight forward.
The season progressed with mostly wins
and a few losses. Scott St. Clair received
his first skull and sacked Massanutten's
quarterback. He also received Driver of
the Year, a prestigious award for which he
and Matt Koops vied. Despite these incidents, the season roared into the VIC
Championship game against LCA. North
Cross sealed the Bulldogs fate with a late
fourth quarter pass to Chris Muscaro for a
crucial touchdown which was followed by
Chris Stevens' 2 point conversion in the
final seconds to lead the Raiders to a 9-2
season and the VIC CHAMPIONSHIP!

�VOLLEYBALL
Varsity volleyball had a fantastic season of 21 wins and 3
losses overall. Their conference
record was 16-1. LCA was the
o nly team in the conference lo
beat the Raiders but we beat
th e m Loo. The Raiders came in
first in th e co nference with
Q uinn Feldmann a nd Bonny
Branch on the first all conference Learn. This is Bonny's
third year in a row! Katie
Stanfield a nd April Smith were
on the second all conference
tea m.
The Raiders came in first in
the BRC Tourname nt. In order
lo do so they had lo beat LCA in
two matches. In th e first match
the score was Lied 1-1; the
Raide rs were down 6-13 in the
thi rd game. They had an awesome comeback and the Raiders surged ahead for the ex-

citing victory. Miss Sallerwhile
was named volleyball coach of
the year, a Lop honor.
To liven things up during
practice Miss Sallerwhite appointed Bonny and Quinn captains and s plit the team in half.
Bonny's team was known as th e
LCA Bulldogs and Quinn's
team was known as the NCS
Raiders . During th e ir games
Quinn's team would forget that
the ir good fri e nds we re on Bonny's team and yell, "smear the
qu ee rs, smear the qu ee rs ."
Miss Satterwhite, being the
good person she is, would nol
let e ither Learn come oul victorious.
Ten wins and four losses winning season by the J.V. volley ball Learn! The football team
led by their " book kee per"
Alan Klink headed up the J.V.

team as a leader of the loud and
e nthusiastic cheering section.
Encouraged by this support the
players displayed strong serves,
pe rfect passes, soaring sets,
and smashing spikes! This
teamwork led lo a satisfying victory over LCA and nine other
teams.
A powerful spike by "Jerry's
Kids" (LCA) hamme re d past
our players and hit the Ooor.
This unfortunate play ended the
team's campaign in the Second
Annual Timberlake Tourname nt where Raid e rs came in
fourth overall. One player from
each team was chosen Lo be on
the all-tournament team . The
Mighty Raid e rs e lected Julie
McGhee, their superb selle r for
the honor.
The J .V. Learn all feels that
their coach, Miss Whill, did a
great job coaching and the y
hope to have her again next
year.

Cheerleading
Football Cheerlead ing:
Th is year's football cheerlead ing squad was made up of
four 8th graders and three seniors ... a pretty wide range and
one that look a lot of adjustment. However, with the help of
coach Elaine Bell, the captains
(Ashley Waldvo ge l, Nicole
Woo, and Cathie Rice) and the
cooperation of everyone involved, the squad managed to
run everything ra ther smoothl y.
They covered areas ranging
from pyram ids and pep rall ies
to school fund raisers and jeans
days. They also completely organized Homecoming Week for
66

1987. Best of luck to the younger squad that will be taking
over in 1988.
Basketball Cheerleading:
The '87-'88 basketball season started ou t slowly fo r the
cheerleaders . F irs t, it was a
matte r of find ing uniforms and
second, adjusting to a two person coaching syste m (Dawn
Lukens and Elaine Bell. ) Howe ver, Captain Den ise Daum and
co-captain Anne Blan ton soon
had the squad rolling stronger.
Pract ice was he ld every day
when there wasn' t a game . The
cheerleaders also had to raise

money for the ir uniforms by
pl a nnin g pi zza days a nd a
cheerleading clinic for lowe r
school children. The y atte nded
every game and s upported the
tea m full-for ce. Th e c hee rleade rs hope to s upport the basketball team all the way to the
VIC championship for the second year in a row .

�GIRLS' BASKETBALL
VARSITY BASKETBALL
Small but proud would have
been a good motto for the girls
varsity basketball team. They
got off to a fl ying start by winning the Private School Championship but luck didn' t hold as
2 of the starting players, April
Smith and Katie Stanfield were
injured later in the season.
Talks by Miss Salterwhite before games became more directed toward safety rather than
strategy.
The number of players had
decreased from nine to seven,
but that did not damage the
spirit of the small team. They
continued to work together and
won the next game with only
seven playe rs; all the players
scored.
Not all the memories were
filled wi th injuries though the
famous dunk by Wray Johnson
will live in our minds forever.

The way she leaped off the
ground and delicately smashed
the ball through the hoop will
never be forgolten by the many
people who saw her do it.
When shooting the ball,
Nicole Basile's jump in the air
amazed not only the spectators,
but also her team.
Margaret Rosemond' s tumbles and somersaults would put
a circus acrobat to shame.
Elizabeth Rocovich, Kristin
Humphries, Alice Snoddy and
Tiffany Bond also had unique
qualities that added to the
game.
Our graduating senior, Katie
Stanfield will always be remembered for her enthusiasm and
dedication to the game. She
leaves us with the determination
and will lo win .
Before we close, one more
thing needs to be said: April get
well!! We NEED your three
pointers next year.

o

Girls JV Basketball
Improvement! That ' s the
word that best describes th e 8 7 88 JV girls basketball team.
The beginning of the season
was rough and unpromising.
Due to the fact that the team
lost last year's starting line-up,
they had to struggle without the
experience that other teams had
over them . Through hours of
practice and constant improvement in skills they began to
execute their plays, work as a
team and play the aggressive
ball their coach, Miss Whitt
urged. A strong be nch was
there for substitution, support
and the cheering in crucial
times. At the January 15-16
tournament at Catholic the tea m
placed fourth. Brigelte Basile
made all-tournament team; she
also had the team 's high score.
The highlight of the season was
the incredible victory over LCA
by only one point. Near the end
of the season the team had a
winning streak of six games.
The final record was 7 -7.

�BOYS' BASKETBALL
JV Boys Basketbal I
The 1987-88 JV Boys basketball team has e njoyed a very
successful season. Five returning players from last year's
squad (Joe Basile, Brent
Bowden, Jim Dixon, Mark
Shaver, Allen Whiule) enabled
the tea m lo start off with a
strong base of talent. With the
addition of a few new sophomores (Jason Beheler, Andy
Berry and Shawn Niday), the
team discovered a new ability lo
score more points. Jason and
Shawn had the additional talent
of scoring the new 3 point shot,
which was added lo high school
basketball this year. Rounding
out the team were ninth graders
Chad Burchinal, Andrew Massey and Pieush Patel along with
Stanley C hopski and Allen
Ramsey from the e ighth grade.
Early in the season, it became apparent that the team
was quite talented and able lo
play toge the r well. The offense
was quick and passed very well,
while the defense exerted a
great deal of pressu re on th e
opponent. The trademark of the
team became the combination
of full court presses and fast
breaks. Toward the middle of

the season the loss of a few
players at different times returned the team lo pull together
lo make up for the missing players. Toward the end of the season all the players had returned, and the learn resumed
its winning trend.
All the games have been exciting for both the players and
the spectators. In some cases
North Cross had lo rally late in
the game lo earn the victory,
while some games permilled
them lo lead most of the lime.
Each player has contributed to
the learn in many ways, whether
on offense, on defense or even
with enthusiasm. Since the JV
baske tball team ended up with
one of the few winning seasons
in boys JV basketball history at
North Cross, it will be a season
that all will reme mber for quite
a while.
VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL
The N .C. boys basketball
learn enjoyed a very prosperous
season even with a heartbreaking loss al Lord Boulelourl. We
are one of the highest scoring
learns in the area.
When the season began we
had lo work hard al many as-

peels of basketball but by far
the most important was the
naming process. Each player
needed an alias that fit both his
personality and his game. By
far the easiest member lo name
was Chris Muscaro who we affectionately call Ego Tripper.
Because of his willingness lo
shoot from any angle al any
lime, Patrick Hutchinson was
named after king gunner,
"Mouse" McFadden.
Scoll "Seik" St. Clair was
named after Syracuse AllAmerican Rony Seikaly but has
taken the name lo heart with
what often appears lo be a
psyched out trance during the
school day.
Gordon Winn is truly a vanilla person as well as a player.
He gels the job done. Simply
because of its absurdity he was
named Tyrone.
Our sixth man, Eric "Sky"
Walker, is so called because of
his high flying style both on and
off the court.
Chris Stevens received the
name of Top Gun last season
because of his willingness lo
shoot any time the ball was near
him. Top Gun also fits Chrissy
because he will swear that he is
superior lo all sili.;alions.

Dutch Muscaro is and will
always be the best ninth man in
the country and because of his
aggressive style we call him the
Hammer.
Dutch Mars Blackman
Fonder is so named because of
his spaced out comments such
as "she wants me" and "I'm
the best player in the world."
Jason Robinson is a player of
unquestionable skills.
Alex Jacobs is called Rusty
because of his uncanny resemblance to the teenage geek ih
Vacation and also because
that's the only way lo describe
his basketball abilities.
Taylor Ruble plays a good
game whene ver he goes in .
Last but not least is Ethen
Cook simply called "E" and
because of his mellow uncomplicated style no other lellers
are needed.
Now that you know all the
names of the players hopefully
you can beller identify with the
learn and enjoy the games more
fully. Remember a rose by any
other name is still a rose and
the 1988 Raide rs are just good.

The 1988 Boy's Varsity
Tennis team will face a tough
schedule this year. Alexander
Boone and Mark Shaver at the
number one and two positions
as well as Trip Kellam at three
and Michael Erwin at number
4. These 4 players will be assisted by Avi Zallen at five and
Thomas Neuhaus al six. Tough
Opponents like Feshburne and
Randolph Macon Military
Academy as well as rival
L.C.l.A. will be facing the team
at North Cross this year all in
all, prospects look good for the
Lennis learn in the spring.

" Hey, Miss Whitt! I've got a joke for yo u! ' .
These are just a couple of things one wo uld hear if one decided
lo listen to a girl 's Lennis practice one day. Also the re is the
omnipresent voice of Alexander Boone across the fence exclaiming, "O.K. I'm gelling ready lo serve. Everybod y ta ke notes."
Despite this, North Cross always has a winning girl 's team . This
year will be no exception. especially because we have Raissa
Remandabin who, though only in the eighth grade. is ranked in the
state and is a great asset lo our team.
Returning members of the team are seniors, Q uin n Feldmann .
and Dana Silberberg, and freshman Victoria Griggs. Our team is
young this year, but that can only mean that the team will be all the
beller in the future .
Tennis is a lot of wo rk , but it is also a lot of fun. In the end, the
hard work always pays off, and the members ca n look back and

If you don't believe in the saying
practice makes perfect, the n you ha-

ven' t seen the North Cross soccer
team. Mr. Cook believes "If the learn
practices well they can de feat anyone
on the schedule." Thal doesn' t seem
loo far out of reach considering some
of the people we have playing for us
this season.
Star player Grayson Prill a man
(center halfback ), Nelson Showalter,
an excellent four yea r goalie, David
Faddis, an exceptiona l halfback as
well as other senior halfbacks Carl
Bivens and Alison Nord!. Two talented underclassmen Ethan Cook a l
midfield and Go rdon Winn, fullback
will be helping the team immensely .
Richard Ne lson, s topper a nd Joe
Basile al forward will also be giving
great support to the team. Four new
comers will be tak ing important positions on the team . Shawn Niday,

The 1988 Lacrosse learn will
be the las t lacrosse learn al
North Cross. The outlook of the
season does nol look vNy good
but with some good players we
might be able to win a few
games. The learn is led by captains Chris Stevens and Greg
Tune. Chris is a 3 y&lt;'ar starter
in goal and hopes to lead the
Haiders to victory. Other key
playe rs include Alex Jacobs,
Andrew Massey, Schyler Stultz
and Ke vin Nonit. llopefully,
they will pull out a winning season but it will take a lot of hard
work.

�Golf, the art of hitting a small

GOLF

spherical object into a slightly
larger hole with a metal stick.
This wacky game is one most of
us will try at one time or another, either successfully or not.
We on the golf team try to take
a serious approach to the game
yet humor always finds a way to
slip out. The season brings out
many funn y happenings. It
might be trying to squeeze seven people into a car for a trip to
Lynchburg or trying to hit a
shot out of the woods, left handed with your putter.
We also have our share of
good shots, too. There are chips
and long putts and even shots
from 150 yards out that are
made to improve our score.
But no matter how bad we
play, who we play with, or if we
win or lose, we still enjoy playing this challenging game competitively.

�BASEBALL

Ronald and Packy take a few practice swings before the game.

Baseball at North Cross
means two things: seven-eleven
slurpees, sunflower seeds, and
goofin' off. At 3:03, every day
in the spring, the team pulls out
of the school parking lot (still in
"school attire") and heads for
7 -11. They stack up on sunflower seeds and cherry
slurpees. Now it' s time for practice. At the field, Coach Muscaro awaits the arrival of his
tardy players. At practice Coach
throws some killer balls (until
his arm is about to fall off) while
each player takes a few cuts.
The players in the field make
lackadaisical efforts at balls
coming their way and usually
stand for 45 minutes just telling
jokes. This is a typical N.C.S.
baseball practice. I know it
sounds a little feeble but it isn't
for a team whose players only
goal is to win the poker game on
the way to an away game!!

�GIRLS' SOFTBALL
Softball
The varsity softball team has
excellent players that really
know how to hustle and get to
the ball. If you're not quick on
your feet, you may hear Coach
Satterwhite yell, " Come On, my
grandmother in a wheelchair
can move faster than that!" It is
for your own safety to be alert
because you may have to catch
one of Bonnie Branch's bullet
throws or catch an unpredictable, strong hit from left hander
Kate Stanfield. Once the ball
hits the ground, it can hit one of
those annoying rocks in the
field and bounce up and change
its course. The field even has
frequent visits from nature as
Coach Satterwhite exclaimed
one afternoon, "Look deer
dung!"
In contrast to the varsity
team the JV team lost every
game last year but hopes to
improve on that in the season to
come.

�SPORTS FOR
FUN
North Cross students are very active in
sports both in and out of school. Some
students are very competitive in their sports
while other participate for the fun of it. Many
members of the soccer team play select
soccer during the fall while Grayson Prillaman and Dustin Fonder have made the Va.
state team. Skiing is also a very popular
sport at North Cross. Most students go to the
slopes just to have fun while Curt and Steve
Mull and Alison Nordt have all been among
the lop 10 racers in the slate. Lots of people
enjoy horseback riding but the Leskos take it
very seriously and ride in shows at every
opportunity. Sophomore, Daniel Summerlin
has exceUed in swimming and is now one of
the best swimmers in the area. In the spo11 of
tennis Quinn Feldmann, Trip KeUam and
Alexander Boone are very competitive and
play quite often. While not all students are
highly competitive most enjoy sports as a
form of recreation.

Most of what I reall y need to know

how to be I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the
sandbox.
These are the things I learned : Share
everything. Play fa ir. Don ' t hit people .
P ut things back where yo u found the m.
Clean up you r own mess . Don' t take

things tha t aren't yours. Say you're sorry
when you hurt somebody. Wash your
hands before you eat. Live a balanced
life. Live some and think some, and draw
and sing and dance and play and work
every day some.
Take a nap in the afternoon . Whe n you
go out into the world, watch for traffic,
hold ha nds and stick together. Be aware
of wonde r. Re me mbe r the little seed in

In most other professions, superior ability and dedication are re warded with the five
P's: promotion, power, prestige, perks, and pay ... But the best schoolteachers in the
land, if she has no administrative ambitions (that is, no ambition to get out of the
classroom), enters the profession with the rank of teache r and retires from it decades
later with the rank of teacher, not remarkably better paid and perked then when she
met her maiden class ... The condition of the true artisan, perhaps, is the most nearl y
akin to the gifted schoolteacher's: an all but anonymo us calling that allows for mastery,
even for a sort of genius, but rarely for fame, applause, or wealth; whose chief reward
must be the mere superlative doing of the thing. T he make r of stained glass or fine
jewelry, however, works only with platinum, gemstones. gold , not with yo ung minds
and spirits.

One morning I went over to the second grade in the Lower
School and asked them some questions. The first question was,
"What is your favorite television show?" Some of the responses
were "Max Headroom," "Rags to Riches," and "Ducktales."
Another question was, "What is your favo rite food?", and pizza was
definitely the most popular, followed closely by hamburgers and
hotdogs. The foods that they disliked the most were liver, greens,
and okra, one boy even said that he didn't like baked beans .
I also wanted to know what their favorite subjects were, and a
large majority said that they favored art, but a few said that they
liked math and science.
My last q uestion was that if they could have anything in the
world what would they wish for. Several boys said they would like a
Porsche. Others wanted their own horse, their own airplane or G.I .
Joe figures. O ne girl said she wished there was real magic, and
actuaOy, I agree with her.
I think that in a few years we should ask these students these
same questions. Then we could look back and laugh and see how
much they've grown up.

A THIRD GRADE
ADVENTURE

Lane
Longbrake

For a science-related field trip, both
third grade classes took an expedition to
Natural Bridge on October 8, 1987. In
addition to seeing Natural Bridge, the
class explored the Natural Bridge Zoo
and Caverns. They brought bag lunches
and ale them in the caverns. Their teacher, Mrs. Horak, slated happily that all the
students enjoyed the trip immensely,
probably for two reasons: seeing Natural
Bridge, and, of course, missing a day of
school. The trip sounded enjoyable, and
Mrs. Horak seemed pleased about the
third graders' expedition.

THE FIFTH GRADE
SHOWS OFF
THEIR
CREATIVITY
The 5th grade a t North Cross, taught
by Mrs . Mary Lou Sallade and Mrs.

W he n they were called upon , they suffic ie ntl y answe red the inquiries with originality a nd creati vity. Some of the m we re
correct a nd if not, th ey we re beli e va bl e.
W he n asked whe re a pagoda wou ld be,
o ne girl with long hair re pl ied, " In the

somethin g in the wa te r. "
Who was th e mos t famou s Englishman

blurted out. "Lord Bodde n Powell. " Mrs .

He kills them , cuts their head off, or

TEACHER'S CREED
I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great tomorrow; that whatsoever the boy soweth the man
s hall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance; in the e ffi cacy of schools; in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of
serving othe rs. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of the printed book; in lessons
taught, no t so much by precept as by example; in ability to work with the hands as well as Lo think with the head; in
eve ryth ing that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life, a nd oulof-doors. I believe in laughter; in love; in fa ith; in all ideals and dis tant hopes that lure us on. I believe that every
hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and its opportunities;
in the fu ture and its promises; and in the di vine joy of living.

SIXTH GRADE
SUPERLATIVES
I found the sixth grade in their gym class, the boys on the
bleachers and the girls, of course, still in the lockeroom. While
waiting for the girls to come up on the floor, I asked the boys a
few questions about the females in their class. Soon I was
innundated with young men, eager to gossip about the women.
The results were:
BEST LOOKING: Christina Nordt
SMARTEST: Ellen Brenner
WITTIEST: Elizabeth Logan
FRIENDLIEST: Heather Houston
MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Jenny Lewis
MOST ATHLETIC: Mary Bartly
BEST DRESSED: Beverly Logan
When the girls finally came up to the floor, I began to ask
them a few questions about the guys in their class. Though they
weren't as willing to talk as the boys had been, they finally gave
me some answers. They think:
BEST LOOKING: Lucus Lawson
SMARTEST: Philip Ramsey
WITTIEST: Justin Woo "Woozer"
FRIENDLIEST: Lee Flora
MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Jason Davis
MOST ATHLETIC: Newman Weaver
BEST DRESSED: Forrest Porterfield
And that concludes my escapade with the sixth grade!

The 7th grade's wide range of interests
are as different as the students themselves.
They have a variety of musical preferences, ranging from the Grateful Dead
to Bob Marley and the Whalers, to the
Kinks.
The 7th graders enjoy out of school
activities such as football, gymnastics and
field hockey. However, they unanimously
agreed that soccer is their all-time favorite.
Favorite vacation spots during the
summer range up and down the East

Of all the beautiful truths pertammg to the soul which have been restored and
brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitfu l of divine promise and
confidence than this: That man is the maste r of thought, the molder of characte r, a nd
the maker and shaper of condition, environme nt, and destin y.
As a being of Power, Intelligence and Love, and lord of his own thou ghts, man holds
!he key to every situation, and contains within himse lf that transform ing and
regenerative age ncy by which he may make himself what he wills.

TEACHERS HAVE
FUN TOO
Every morning, Middle School teachers involve themselves in different activities. Mrs.
Repass and Mrs. McGhee bustle in and retire to
the teachers' lounge to knit, gossip, and drink
coffee. Contrary to popular belief, they rarely
talk about students; instead, they talk about
their home lives. Mr. Trau hurries straight to his
room and reties his tie, one of which is never the
green bow tie which Laura Nolan and Sarah
Rosenoff gave him last year. Mrs. Bailey, always punctual, grabs a cup of coffee and heads
for homeroom. Workaholic Mrs. Patterson
comes in early in the morning to work and
patrol the upstairs halls for wanderers.

They also have varying afternoon acliv1lies.
Mrs. Repass, Mrs. McGhee, and Mrs. Bailey,
the "Physical Fitness Squad," often walk the
cross-country course to get in shape. Mr. Trau
practices his lacrosse skills with Alex Jacobs
and Andrew Massey, then goes home to a
delicious Budget Cuisine dinner. Mrs. Loftin
often remains behind lo decorate her bulletin
board with exciting memorabilia from the eighth
grade English classes' studies. So believe it or
not, the teachers DO have exciting lives filled with knitting, bow ties, and Budget Cuisines!

After three long years in the Middle
School, Freshmen have finally made it to
the Upper School. Obviously, the Freshman class finds the Upper School different from the Middle School in many
ways; there are advantages and disadvantages. The classes are harder for
some; on the other hand, there are more
extracurricular activities offered. Many
enthused Freshmen are contributing their
efforts to sports and other school

act1Y1t1es this year, including volleyball,
football, cross country, field hockey, basketball, Scarlet Letter staff, yearbook
staff, and other things. So far, no Freshmen have been crammed into trash cans
or lockers, although maybe things would
have been different if the lockers were
bigger. Upper classmen, in fact, have
been very sympathetic. All in all, so far
the Freshmen have had a pretty good
year.

The class of 1990 is moving up. It has

so pho mo res a re ye t a nothe r class a t North

" Eve ry year ge ts be tte r. The te nth grade

a lso. Bio logy a nd Geometry have been kille rs bu t no t unreaso na ble ... we a ll a re able

With th e additio n of e ight new stud ents
ra nging fro m a va ri e ty of diffe rent schools,
it is no wo nd e r wh y th e sophomores have
s uc h pos iti ve a ttitudes about th e ir yea r.
S ports were a pa rti cula r favorit e of this

It is lucky for th ose coac hes tha t th ey will
be a round for two more yea rs! Eric Wa lke r,
Jason Be hele r, Steve Mull, Tay lor Rubl e,
and Andy Be rry all he lped to pus h our

When as ked wh at the highlight of the

The eleventh grade is a small,
close-knit class. The majority of
our class play some type of sport.
Most of the girls play field hockey
so they have to be total brutes.
April Smith and Alice Snoddy play
volleyball, basketball, and softball,
so they are the female jocks of the
class. For the guys - football and
soccer dominate the class, but
there are a few who play baseball,
tennis, and run cross-country. The
top tennis player is Michael Erwin,
also known as "Mr. Knowledge."
Top football and basketball players
are Chris Muscaro and Gordon
Winn. The class stays rather busy
with different sports, as you can
see. They are also able to do many
things after school.
The eleventh grade is very talented and they do many things:
such as sports as well as hobbies .
Greg Tune collects comic books;
Chris Helmer collects trains; Beth
Foti rides horses; Fred Coots goes
ballooning; Steve K we Ile r and
Jorge Roman play the guitar
are you guys beginners?

Pam Fulghum, Kim Blair, Katrina Duerk and Maria Lawrence hang out Hot-Z, waiting
for the guys; Chris Muscaro
plays racquetball.
Basically, everyone in the
class likes partying, having a
good time, skiing and enjoying
the weekends! Thanks to Tuna,
we have a place to go. The
eleventh grade has many common qualities and are full of
excitement for the oncoming
year.

It's been such a long time,
I think I should be going;
time doesn't wait for me it
keeps on rollin'.
Well it's a long road I've
got to stay in time with;
I've got to keep on chasin'
that dream,
though I may never find it.
Well I'm on a distant highway,
I'm takin' my time just movin'
along.

The tide recedes
but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand,
The sun goes down,
but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land,
The music stops,
and yet it echoes on
in sweet refrains ...
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there The last few steps you'll have to take alone.

�After a " Teacher Favorite" sheet was submiued
lo the facully, some very interesting and diverse
answers were returned. The categories are as follows: band, food, beverage, song, movie, car, and
pastime.
Their favorite groups ranged from Mr. Wonson's favorite, Traffic, to Mr. Meagher's favorite,
Kiss, to the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, Doc's
favorite. The only group that had more than one
vole was The Beach Boys, who were voted for by
Mr. France and Mrs. Grayson .
Favorite songs also had a wide range. Mr.
Cook's favorite was White Rabbit by Jefferson
Airplane. Mr. France preferred Carly Simon's
"Comin' Around Again," and Mr. Meagher submitted a Questionable vote for "Yankee Doodle."
One of Doc's three answers was for the Flute Suite
by A. K. Salin. Another interesting response was
Mrs. Wall's Indian Love Call.
In the favorite beverage category, most preferred soft drinks or coffee. Mr. France described
his favorite drink as a "Cold One," and Mr.
Meagher's favorite is Iron City Beer, one that most
of us have never heard of.
Their favorite foods, with a few exceptions, can
be put into one of two major categories: seafood
("anything that swims," wrote one anonymous
teacher) and junkfood ("anything, as long as it is
bad for you and there is a lot of it," wrote Mr.
Wonson).
In the movie category, Mr. Meagher seemed lo
be very anxious for the release of Rocky XVIII.
Gone With the Wind was voted for by both Mrs.
Grayson and Mrs. Wall, and therefore, won in that
category.
Favorite cars ranged from the most sophisticated
to the very simple. Mrs. Shaver's favorite is a

Jaguar, and Doc's is a Ferrari. Mr. Wonson and
Dr. Noffsinger preferred "anything reliable" and
"anything that does not spend loo much Lime in the
shop," respectively.
Reading received the majority in the pastime
category, receiving votes from Mrs. Shaver, Doc,
and Mr. Wonson. Mr. France's favorite pastime is
"making music," Mr. Meagher's is drinking, and
Dr. Noffsinger spends his time "trying to make
sense of my life."

One of the school's most important
assets is the Slack Hall Faculty. The loss
of Mr. Hudnall will cause us all sadness,
but we are glad to hear that he is moving
on lo bigger and better (although not
better for us!)
We were all entertained by Mr.
Hudnall's fiftieth birthday presentation
from the upper school, and like a good
sport, Mr. Hudnall accepted the belly
dancer humorously . H e constantly
laughed and poked fun at himself, and
after he received his red banner and
hairband with hearts to wear, Mr. Wonson praised him for his good sense of
humor.
Of course we will all miss Mr. Hudnall,
but we are looking forward lo knowing
whoever will take his place.

The Wednesday Hamburger With Pickles
It was l :07 on a typ ica l Wed nesda y, a nd the sun
hurled light into th e inc re dibl y dre ary lunc h room. My
afte rnoon began with a lo t o f wa iting a round , as it does
eve ry W ednesd ay in the lun c hroom. The lunc hline
sounded lik e e ve ry tee nage r in the Roanoke Valley
was trying to get into Vic to ry S tadium a ll a t one time .
As the line quic kly turne d into a mass of gra bbing
ha nds, we heard Mr. Meaghe r be llo w in his inc redibl y
ma nl y voice, " O.K . e ve ryone form a line!" Afte r hours
of s itting a round in the s e mi-wa rm pa n be hind the
lunch roo m counte r, I was a bruptly disc ha rged onto
one of those highl y re lia bl e pa pe r plates by Joa nne
Altice, the n o pe n-heartedly put o n display by Edith
Ha rt. Now, having a clear vie w of the massive line, I
saw a hand lurc hing out, ready to ta ke me a wa y from
this humiliating dis play. At this point I was s itting on
the cashie r ta ble, a nd it only took us 20 minutes to get
the re. Now tha t we had fin a ll y reached the cashie r,
Ma rgare t W eave r, I jus t sat the re holding on to tha t
incredibly re lia ble pa pe r pla te , ho ping tha t my carrie r
did not get pushe d , or sudde nly lose control of his
right a rm. (We ll now tha t I ha ve been fro zen, heated,
fried, thrown, dis played , a nd s old, it was time to ge t
dressed.)
Firs t, I was placed o n the ed ge of the condime nts
table, while my carrie r we nt off o n a journey for
ke tchup (I pe rsonall y think the re s hould be a keg of it
at e ve ry ta ble ) He fin a ll y located wha t I be lieved to be
the last ounce o f ke tc hup in the lunc hroom . Gracefull y, he blurped it o n me a nd headed fo r the mus ta rd .
" Mus ta rd; God, I ha te the stuff!", I tho ught to myself
as he care full y m ade s ure that it was put on to fo rm a

pe rfect spiral on top of the blurped ketchup . Finally,
my favorite pa rt the pickles. They are never
blurped on or put on in an ingenious design, they are
s imply placed on lop. Being full y dressed now, my
carrie r a nd I we re ready to set out on our pilgrimage to
the uppe r school, where My friends and I wo uld be
consumed within the las t fi ve minutes remaining in the
lunch period.

TAKE CONTROL AGAINST CANCER
Today, nearly 50 percent of all persons diagnosed with cancer will be cured. That's
a remarkable statement. It reflects the incredible progress in cancer treatment that
has been made in the past few years.
At the Cancer Center of Southwest Virginia, we're proud to be a part of the fight
against cancer. Today, every person in our community can benefit from new ways of
cancer prevention and early detection. Call your doctor to learn what you can do. Or
call Cancer Medlink at 981-7641 or 1-800-422-8482 if you have concerns about
cancer or need more information about Cancer Center services and tours .

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

DE:~DLINE:S
n the ninth grade, when I learned
to make layouts, develo.p and
print negatives, I knew I wanted
to be editor of a big publication
such as the yearbook. I didn't realize
that such an honor would be mine
my Junior year when the norm
would have been to be editor my
Senior year. I did not realize the
huge responsibility that came with
the job and I plunged right ahead
and accepted everything that I
would have to do.

This year the staff was small and
inexperienced. Between the seven
staff members only Laurie and Julie
McGhee had previous yearbook experience. The two seniors, Rick
Lewis and Brandon Ratliff, have
good darkroom skills. The rest of the
staff, although young, has become
proficient in their skills.

We started the year in July with a
staff meeting at my house. We discussed how much money we would
need to raise, somewhere around
3000 dollars. The entire staff sold
ads and we raised 4500 dollars, considerably more than the 800 dollars
raised last year.

While designing the yearbook, the
staff decided to make this year's
yearbook one to remember. T he
pages were upgraded as the quality
of the copy and photographs were a
high priority. This year the 1990
Compass will be submitted to C olumbian Scholastic Press Association and Southern Interscholastic
Press Association to be judged with
other yearbooks of high journalistic
standards.

We also upgraded the style of the
yearbook. There was enough money
to add another color to the cover and
a summer supplement to cover the
prom and spring sports.

The 1990 Compass staff hopes that
you will enjoy this year's yearbook
and appreciate the hard work we
went through to produce such a
book.

WRITING
one-man staff (the editor)
and an advisor produce The
Scarlet Letter with the enthusiastic cooperation of a
group of volunteers. Whether the
articles are newsy, humorous or informative depends on the talent of
the particular writer. Although
most schools may have organized
staffs and newspaper classes, scheduling has prevented a conventional
newspaper journalism class here at
North Cross. Consequently, each
self-motivated individual who participates enjoys special rewards and
fulfillment , not grades or class credits.
Before sending the fin al copy to th e plant, Beth
Weaver, Matt Laughon , Mrs. Wall , Thomas Neuhaus
and El iza beth Rocovich make sure eve rything is
ready.

The Scarlet Letter is published
three times per school year and this
year a special Senior Issue will come
out in May. The news mag a zine
hopes to capture the spirit of North
Cross by including articles about
football, girls soccer, cross-country,
plays and musicals and special
awards that students receive here.
The Scarlet Letter represents all
three divisions of North Cross Lower School, Middle School and
Upper School. The magazine is an
interesting and informative way to
share what is happening at North
Cross with both its students and
their parents.

Issues that the SCA addresses on a
regular basis are: the scheduling
and planning of social events, the
sharing of ideas of ways to help our
North Cross community and the
discussion of school issues. Suggestions can be made about special projects and ways in which the SCA
might raise money for Middle
School activities.

he Middle School Student
Cooperative Association is essentially composed of every
student in the Middle School.
In the fall representatives are elected from each homeroom to attend
SCA meetings and to report back to
that homeroom about plans and decisions made at the meeting.

T

This year's officers are Mary Bartley, President, Dominic Basile,
Vice-President, Ry Moore, Treasurer, and Parker Moore, Secretary.
Members of the 1989-1990 SCA
have learned parliamentary procedure and use it to run their meetings. Students realize that more
business can be accomplished in an
organized system.

When it is all said and done every
Middle School student feels that he
or she does have a voice in student
government: Since every homeroom
is represented, each class has an
equal voice, which, of course, is the
spirit of real "cooperative" association.

PRODUCTIONS
he North Cross Drama Society had a busy year. In the fall
they produced a musical
called Working, based on the
book by Studs Terkel, a social commentator from Chicago. A cast of
twenty were put through their paces
by Mr. DeH art and Mrs. Smallwood. The play was a collage of
monologues and songs in which the
characters communica ted their
thoughts and feeling about their
various jobs.

T

In the winter the group did a platform reading of George Orwell's
Animal Farm. Four boys and four
girls sat on stools in a very simple
setting and declaimed the lines, sans
scripts, with background music
from Camille Saint Saens' "The
C a rniv al of the Animals."

with lighting by Roland Oelschlager
and Chris Surrusco and sound by
Nicole Basile, eight student actors
carried their listeners away to a
time, a space, they did not know
they knew.
As a forum presentatio n Mr.
Schloss directed four student actors
in a one act play by Elaine May entitled "Adaptation " . Miss May's satire employed a game show setting
with the central character - a kind
of modern day everyman - as the
only contestant. It was a funn y and
slightly unsettling piece of theater.
Mr. DeHart chose a spring show,
bringing to a grand total four dramatic productions for the 1989-90
school year - a first in N orth
Cross's history.

Under the direction of Mr. DeHart,
Jackie Loeb and three other "mill workers" went
through the moti ons of a repetiti ve day on th t job.

�The best language students have their own

HONOR SOCIE:TIE:S
he French National Honor
Society is an organization of
the students who attain the
highest average in French
class. New members are inducted
into the Society each spring.

T

The motto of the French Honor Society is: "L'homme qui sait deux
langue in vaut deux." Translated
into English this timely phrase
means , "The man who knows two
languages is worth two men."
After studying French culture for
four years it would be impossible for
a student to ever look at Paris
Mat ch, the uncensored version of
Life Magazine without thinking of
Jeanny Holliday and his infamous
song, "Je T'Attend. " This song was
immortalized by the French l class
at the 1986 International Dinner.

On February ninth, the Spanish
Honor Society honored its new
members with a special candlelight
service in the library. To become a
member of this Society, a second
year Spanish student must be in the
top one percent of the Spanish class.
To be invited for membership during a student's third or fourth year
of Spanish they must maintain an A
average.

What do you think of the law
that raised the drinking age?

"I think it is ridiculous. A person
will drink more responsibly if he
can do it legally."
Steven Rhinehart 11

During this past winter the Spanish
Honor Society had guests from
Spanish speaking countries attend
their meetings. They also prepared a
special presentation for the International Dinner.
Whether it is the French or Spanish
Honor Society that a student is invited to join, the invitation brings
with it a sense of accomplishment.

"I don't care. I don 't drink. "

Club trip to New York City. In May
1989 almost forty Art Club members journeyed nearly 600 miles in
order to visit the Goya exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum, but we returned home having seen much
more than renowned artwork.
Members were offered crack, witnessed a car robbery and a drug
bust, were approached by prostitutes, and observed firemen extinguish a blaze across the street. We
finally returned home, hungry,

raised by singing telegrams, bake
sales, and other fundraisers was
spent on decorating both the school
and Books, Strings, and Things in
downtown Roanoke. The culminating highlight of the year was attending the Goya show.

This year Art Club has continued to
enhance North Cross under the direction of Mrs. Shirley Johnson.
Some of the money earned through
bake sales at football games was
used to decorate the cafeteria for
Halloween. The rest of the profits

Bruised and sullen storm clouds/
Have the light of day obscured/
Looming low and ominous/ In twilight premature/ Thunderheads are
rumbling/ In a distant overture/ All

Light streams down/ In bright unbroken beams/ Follow men's eyes/
As they look to the skies/ The shifting shafts of shining/ Weave the
fabric of their dreams ...

1986. We were the first (some think
best) eighth grade class to be part of

T

he Triangle, is a studentrun peer counseling program in the Upper School.
It has three main roles - personal
counseling, tutoring, and the resolution of teacher-student conflicts.
Personal problems the Triangle is
prepared to deal with range from
substance abuse and suicide to difficulties with peer pressure. Members
act as impartial third party mediators in teacher-student disputes.
Academic difficulties are also addressed by the Triangle.

All v1s1ts are strictly confidential.
Neither faculty nor other students
are involved.
Triangle members are trained to listen and to help a person see a wide
scope of answers and alternatives in
a situation. Their goal is to help a
person solve his or her own problems. Sometimes students may just
want an understanding ear, and the
Triangle is always ready to listen.

Problems most frequently handled
relate to homework. If a student
needs help studying for a test, the
Triangle is prepared to give it. More
than 90% of Triangle visits concern
a need for academic assistance.
Each year the Triangle is staffed by
Juniors and Seniors selected by the
preceding year's Triangle members.

The next door was closed and a movie was being shown. This did not
seem to fit in with what I had seen

that this was health class. Everyone

take health for one grading period

Backing out of Mr. France's class I

his bag. I ask if he would explain to
me what was going on this afternoon
in the Middle School. He did not

had lost track of time, and was late
for an orthodontist appointment.

P ausing, trying to decide where to
go next , I heard loud noises from
down the hall. Thinking that I had

No Middle School students were

two Middle School teachers to talk

to answer my questions.
The classes and activities that I had
seen are typical of seventh period.
Eighth graders can choose an activity or to have a study hall. Sixth and
seventh graders rotate a grading period at a time through art, music,

atching eggs is a fith grade
activity that Lower School
children look forward to for
ye a rs. They don't realize that this is
actually a major science study.

H

The incubation of chicken eggs (embryology) is the culminating activity
for the fifth grade's studies of animal behavior, classification of animals, and most importantly cells.
What excitement there is the day
the 40 to 50 fertilized eggs arnve.

Each class has its own incubator
where the eggs are kept for 21 days.
While waiting for the eggs to hatch,
the fifth grade science class studies
the changes taking place inside the
shell. This year more eggs than ever
hatched, probably because of the
addition of automative egg turners.
In the past, the incubator had to be
opened to turn the eggs causing heat
and moisture to be lost.
On the twenty-first day it is very
hard for anyone in the Lower School
not to get caught up in watching the
new babies hatch. At lunchtime
even the Middle and Upper school
students wander into Mrs. Sallade's
room to see the new chicks.
The chicks stay with the fifth graders for about two weeks or until they
start " fl ying the coop " . D u ri ng
these weeks much is learned about

is sung at assemblies and on other
occasions when groups gather together.

Halloween , Thanksgiving , and
Hanukah. The culminating activities are the two Lower School

A

day trip to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello helps bring
alive the fourth grade study
of Virginia History. An important
part of this year long study is putting together a scrapbook. It is not
unusual for the finished product,
filled with reports, memorabilia,
drawings and research on Virginia,
to be four or five inches thick. It
becomes a cherished possession that
many students keep for years.

study, each student makes a papermache model of a favorite dinosaur.
To close the unit the class has a Dinosaur Day Program and party.
Full participation with the Science
Museum brings exciting opportunities to Lower School students. Going there to learn to use microscopes
was only one of the many visits
made to the Muse um this year.

The wonderful world globes that
hang throughout the building are
the result of another third grade activity. This art project reinforces the
social study unit on continents and
oceans.
Familiar and unusual dinosaurs arrive in second grade each spring.

Teachers are not

Always TQa~hing

T

eachers are " real people."
A teacher must be willing,
and have the energy, to do
so many things besides

teach.

In the Lower School teachers scrub,
plant, weed, erase, arrange (and
rearrange ) furniture , papers, people, organize, file, type, make activities, laminate activities, put up (and
take down) bulletin boards and
charts, XEROX, display and plan
play, operate all manner of audiovisual equipment, work with computers, arrange experiments, care
for plants and anim als, direct traffic, paint, plan, preach, plead, and
LISTEN. It takes a "real person"
and a caring professional to make a
good teacher.

When all is said and done most of
the faculty has little leisure time.
The common chorus is, "What leisure time?" The free time they do
have is used for art, aerobics, bridge,
fishing, swimming, sailing, racquet
ball, reading, singing, seeing plays,
people, exhibits, and sports; spiritual or secular, traveling, tennis, practicing Russian, Spanish, or the piano, walking and talking to friends.

Tiffany Bond's speech on Alfred Hitchcock showed
that she had done thorough resea rch.
One adva ntage of hav ing the last name Beheler was
bei ng finished wi th his se nior project early in the year.

t is as a freshman that you first begin to dread the Senior Speech.
What could be more frightening than standing alone on stage
babbling to the entire high school and faculty for over ten minutes? Although it is the speech that you fear and remember, it is
the Senior Paper that requires the majority of the work involved in the
Senior Project.

In April of your junior year Doc will surprise you in chemistry class.
Instead of discussing atoms or his thesis, it is time to talk about your
upcoming thesis - the Senior Project. After handing you an instructional guide that is a mere half-an-inch thick, Doc asks for questions.
The only one you can think of is "why didn't I leave this school in tenth
grade?"
By the fall of your senior year, however, you have become much more
relaxed about the whole affair until you realize your bibliography is
due! You race to the library to discover most of your classmates busy
scanning the microfiche for sources. When you find a book that you
want, it is either already checked out or at the library farthest away
from where you now are.
Next come the notecards, outline, and rough draft. The deadlines
march on. Finally, in December, you are ready to turn in the four final
copies of your Senior Paper. With a sigh of relief, you're off to enjoy
the holidays .
Upon returning to school in January, you are shocked to realize that it
is Senior Speech time. Desperate wishes of having a last name like
Zimmerman or Ziegfield cloud your mind .
Mrs. Grayso n advises Eli za beth Rocov ich to make one
last change before turning in her paper.

he Great Dumbness is sweeping across our country. One cannot
turn on the news without hearing that in comparison with
Chinese and Japanese students, American students have the
intelligence of small head lice. Many great scholars, throughout history, have studied the problem of America's failing grades and one
conclusion has been drawn - it is the teacher who needs help, not the
student. Scholars theorize that tests are administered by vengeful
teachers whose own childhoods were ruined by the administration of
tests.

T

Kevin Garbee was grea tl y disturbed when he di scovered that hi s Spa ni sh test was not going to be easy.
Jeff Summerlin a nd C a ty Bra dshaw hope th ey know
the words for their La tin II voca bula ry qui z.

The entire concept of the vengeful administration of tests was studied
in the late l 920's by a brilliant student of C.G. Jung, whose name was
C.J. Run (You might recall C.J.'s infamous brother, RUN-DMC
who, along with the MCA and ABC corporations, established the
ETS, home of the SAT, while on LSD. NBC tried to get in on this deal,
but they were involved in heavy law suits with CBS over abbreviations.) C.J. Run never became as famous as his brother, but he did
establish a small loyal following of students after his first book, You
Will Die: And JOI Other Good Reasons Not to Take Tests, was
published. However, it was not until his second book, Cyanide Apples
and Other Ideas for the Improvement of Student-Teacher Relations,
was released that C.J. gained a strong foothold, along with Hermann
Hesse and The Monkeys, as a cult figure in high schools and colleges
across the country.
Unfortunately, his life came to a tragic end in 1960 when he led a
protest against a local school board and was violently clubbed to death
with rulers and compasses. Accusations flew and several teachers, who
had been spotted leaving the scene of the crime with bloody metersticks, were brought in front of the local Honor Council. The teachers
got off on a technicality, however, after the Honor Code was reviewed
and it was found that murder, unlike lying, stealing, or cheating, was
not punishable by suspension . An autopsy was performed on C.J .
Run 's body and cause of death was found to be suicide. His controversial death in 1960 brought an end to the last hope American students
had of overthrowing the school system. And along with it went the last
hope of beating the Japanese.

�Free Time
ainfully evident to the students, North Cross is a breeding
ground for laborious work. Unfortunately there is nothing
that can be done about this extensive workload but there is
one mitigating occurrence in the day of almost every s tudent, STUDY HALL.

P

C a lliope coordina tor, Ma rga ret R ose mond , uses her

Study hall is the only time, aside from lunch and break, where a n
individual gets to find his own way to kill time. Freshmen and sophomores are stuck in "supervised" study hall, which makes it ha rder to
be creative. However, with a sign-out slip, there is not much th a t on e
cannot accomplish. Going to a conference room is one wa y to esca pe
the sheer boredom of room ten. One might draw on the ch a lkboa rd
there, or simply ponder the many uses of the conference t a ble. Or one
might go to the CAC, our monosyllabic na me for the Carter Athletic
Center.
Juniors and seniors have the privilege of "Independent Study Hall," if
their grades are satisfactory. With this freedom, however, we find
ourselves doing juvenile and immature things. The most amazing
spectacle t hat may be seen during study hall is Brandon R a tliff doing a
"roll." First, he will take off his camouflaged jacket. Next, he carefully selects about fifty feet of linoleum runway. With a crazed look in his
eyes, Brandon proceeds to barrel down that runway at a good ten miles
per hour. Finally, at the peak of his sprint, he dives to the ground and
flips head over heels for about twenty feet, managing to spring to his
toes at the end of the roll.

"

The inevitable question of " W hy not just study?" is often thrown at us.
We learned early on that homework is done a lot better when it is done
at home. In any case we trudge on in our schooling days and praise the
individual who invented study hall.

Students and teachers also subscribe to international discussion
groups. We can read discussions concerning Words (a linguistic

North Cross every time we put our

athletic center, others will tell you
that it is seen most in an average
school day. But the truth is, it is
found on the bus trips to a way sport s
events. Now most trips are somewhat the same in all sports, but what
makes basketball trips different a nd
probably more enjoyable for us nonplayers is the presence of the cheerleaders and of course, Dustin
Fonder.

S

Please allow me to describe a basic
away trip. Big Jim, (Coach) hops in
the driver's seat and makes that
grand ole bus purr like a kitten. As
we pull out of North Cross the fun
begins.
After the game, the real competitions start. The two main ones,
which I believe have been going on
forever are as follows:

about the he a t. Immediately someone who could care less about the
heat asks Coach to turn it up. And
the battle begins.
After the games have been played, I
decide to enrich my friends with my
beautiful singing voice. Usually the
rest of the bus joins in with the singing of some show tunes such as "Gil1iga n's Island " and the "Jeffersons .

rior to the first practice it
appeared that the North
Cross JV basketball team
was going to have a rough season.
Losing four starting players from
the previous season, the team was
relatively young and inexperienced.
But these players, along with new
coaches Dave Calvert and Michael
Taylor (T-Bone), pulled together
and became one of the best JV
teams in North Cross history.

fight but ended up losing by three
points. The Raiders then decided
that they had better start playing
good basketball. With the help of
Coach Calvert and Coach Bone,
they began a four game winning
streak, crushing Berean, Roanoke
Valley Christian, Roanoke Catholic, and Timberlake. The next game
was against LCA. Again the Raiders fought hard, but ended up losing
by 4 points. At the most exciting
game of the year , North Cross
played William Byrd. Because of
the first meeting of th e te ams,
North Cross was the underdog.
Coach Calvert said that the only
thing his team had to do was be in a
position to win at the end of the
game. They did this and won the
game in the last ten seconds. N orth
Cross capped off their season by
winning their last four games.

P

The undersized Raiders started off
playing Lord Botetourt, the toughest team on the schedule. North
Cross lost by about 20. They then
moved on to Berean, which was a
fairly easy win . In the next game
they played William Byrd. The
Raiders lost badly because Ryan
Cook, the leading scorer, fouled out.
Then came LCA, a much larger
team . North Cross put up a good

team had a record of 11-7.
Wray averaged 18.3 points, with a

scored her 1OOOth point this season.
Elizabeth Rocovich, the other senior, averaged 9 .4 re bounds per
game, and Michelle Esquerra, the
junior point guard who set up the
Lady Raiders' offense, had 3.4 assists per game. Sophomore Kelly
Baetz had many valuable assists
which helped the team win; every
assist, rebound, and basket was important since the Raiders won many
games by less than five points.

Coach Donna Satterwhite said that
although this year's Varsity team
was inexperienced, the potential talent was there, and when the team
played well, anything was possible.

Practice was held every day from
3: 15 until 4: 30. Each swimming
style was exercised with more emphasis placed on one's most effective

�he theme of this year's Compass,
"Building up, Breaking Loose," is
relevant to us not just in the spring of
1990, but for the rest of our lives.
The seniors who graduate this June, those who
have been building for years toward graduation,
will travel on new avenues and enter college in the
fall eager for new freedom, responsibility, and
growth.
However, in four short years they will "break
loose" again, and will embark on another voyage,
one with its own rewards and its own perils. And
so it goes.
T

he day e~ds with Bill Patti sa ll and
Adam Spisa k lowering the fl ag.

om Haga n and Hunter Doyle look for wa rd to the da y th at they can play for
Mr. Cook's Varsity Soccer tea m.

T

To prepare for life's cycles, we should think of
ourselves always as "student s," not just today but
forever. Although we may conclude our formal
education with college or graduate school, we
should look forward to a lifetime of learning,
when we will read, think, and wonder, and in the
process "break loose" from the errors and
ignoranc e of our past. To live fully, we must
continue to learn.
The poet Tennyso n said it best in his "Ulysses "
when he describe d the ancient hero's insistence on
living life fully. Near death, Ulysses could not sit
idly by, but sailed out on one last voyage, feeling
that it was "not too late to seek a newer worldo"
The reason for his voyage? Simply "to strive, to
seek, to find, and not to yield," in effect, to
"break loose" one last time, to enjoy life's boun y
fully.

�INTRODUCTION

Sorting Some Of The Wrights Of Southern Virginia is a multipart project. Each
part will discuss a separate Wright family, beginning with the oldest known ancestor of
that line. This work 1835/36 Thomas Wright Of Gloucester County is Part XXIV of the
project.
The material for this project is organized in four sections. The first is the Text,
the second is the Descendants Chart, the third is the Source List, and the fourth is a set
of Appendices.
The Text provides full and literal transcriptions of all documents and sources
found for the individuals discussed, as well as explanations of the significance of
documents and the evidentiary logic for conclusions that are not obvious on their face.
Four generations of descendants are discussed. Every researcher has faced the
frustration of an asserted identification without a source reference or explanation of the
conclusion or with a source reference which when consulted turns out to say something
different than what was claimed. By providing full transcriptions of sources, I hope to
allow the reader to reach their own conclusions regarding the identifications given and
avoid the need to search out the source, even though this adds considerably to the
length of the text. When secondary sources are relied on, the person providing the
information is listed.
The Descendants Chart is organized with the oldest ancestor in the first column
and each descendant from that ancestor in the remaining columns, to the extent known.
The basic data of date and place of birth, marriage, residence, and death are given for
each individual. The sources for that information are also given for each individual,
using code numbers to the Source List.
The Source List provides a chronological listing of sources as they were found or
consulted. The chronological listing evolved from my early years in research and
mistaken efforts at coding the source. By the time I realized the inappropriateness of
the coding format, there was too much information in a pre-computer era to correct the
early references. The reader is left with the result and my apology.
The Appendices list all of the known Wright documents for a particular type of
record for a county in chronological order and include an identification of the Wright
named in the record. These Appendices have been published separately by Heritage
Books, Inc., and to date have included Wright birth, marriage, personal property tax,
census, deed, land tax, death, cemetery, and probate records for Amherst,
Appomattox, Bedford, Botetourt, Campbell, Cumberland, Essex, Franklin, Montgomery,
Nelson, Patrick, Prince Edward, Roanoke, and Rockbridge Counties, Virginia, the City
of Lynchburg and the City of Roanoke, Virginia. Other counties will follow in the future.
The Appendices allow a cross referencing of the known records to the person
discussed. This is to avoid having the same record cited for two different persons who
happened to have the same name and to provide a list of documents that have not

�been associated with any person and which might be inconsistent with asserted
identifications.
The numerous Wrights found in the same geographic areas necessitated an
identification system to keep their identities separated. The system selected early on
was to list a person by their year of death and county of residence at death, when
known. For example, "1776 Augustine Wright of Amherst County" indicates that this
was the Augustine Wright who died in 1776 in Amherst County. If no state is listed after
the county, the state is Virginia; counties in states other than Virginia have a state listed
after the county, as in "1825 Achilles Wright of Oldham County, Kentucky". A
parenthetical after the name indicates an identification of the person when a place of
death is not yet known, as in "John Wright (Goochland County Carpenter)." A county in
parentheses after the name indicates the county with which that person was most
identified when no evidence of the place of death has yet been found, as in "William
Wright, Sr. (Bedford County)."
Numerous other researchers have shared their records and research, often
providing the breakthrough which permitted the identification of a person. I have
attempted to recognize those fellow researchers by identifying their contributions in the
text and source list. The quotations from published works are made with the permission
of the author.
This is a work in process and I would be most interested in receiving additional
information about any of the persons identified in these records in order to correct any
errors or expand on the information given.

�XXIV. 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County, His Wife Susan (

) Wright,

And His Descendants
The parents of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County have not as
yet been identified.
In addition, no male Wright descendant of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester
County has as yet participated in the Wright DNA Project, so the haplogroup of this
family is not as yet known.
However, as more fully set forth below, the 1910 Census for Campbell County,
Virginia, listed William F. Wright, who was 1927 William Floyd Wright of Campbell
County and a great grandson of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County, in the
Lucy E. Wright household on May 9, 1910, and his relationship as cousin. The Lucy E.
Wright of this record was Lucy E. (Milstead) Wright, the widow of George F. Wright, a
son of George Alexander Wright, grandson of 1823 George Wright of Campbell County,
and great grandson of Robert Wright, Sr. (Campbell County). The listing of William F.
Wright as a cousin identifies the family of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester
County as related to the family of Robert Wright, Sr. (Campbell County). Further
research will be required to determine the precise connection of these families. The
Wright Family DNA Project has listed the haplogroup of the family of Robert Wright, Sr.
(Campbell County) as R-M269, Group 4. If any male Wright descendant of 1835/36
Thomas Wright of Gloucester County should in the future participate in the Wright DNA
Project, their haplogroup should be the same.
The first record of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County was found in
Gloucester County, Virginia. However, Gloucester County, Virginia, is a burned record
county with its records lost to a fire in 1820 and then lost again when they were moved
to Richmond, Virginia, and burned by the fire that erupted when the city was evacuated
on April 3, 1865.
The 1790 and 1800 Censuses for Gloucester County, Virginia, were among the
records lost due to negligence and poor archival practices.
The primary early records of Gloucester County, Virginia, that have survived are
the Personal Property Tax Lists and the Land Tax Lists.
Neither the 1810 nor the 1820 Census for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed a

Gloucester County, Virginia, did not list a Thomas Wright.
The 1823 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, first listed a
Thomas Wright on March 3, 1823, with 5 slaves above 12 years of age, 1 horse, 1 two
wheeled carriage, and a tax of $2.97.
The 1823 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, did not list a Thomas

horses, 1 two wheeled carriage, and a tax of $3.56.
The 1825 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, did not list a Thomas
Wright.

horses, 1 gig &amp; harness, and a tax of $3.68.
The 1826 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed for the first time
Thomas Wright with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the
courthouse.
The 1827 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed
Thomas Wright on February 5, 1827, with 6 slaves above 12 years of age, 3 horses, 1
gig &amp; harness, and a tax of $3.68.
The 1827 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright
with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the courthouse.

The 1830 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, also listed
Thomas B. Wright on March 6, 1830, with no property or tax. As set forth below, this
was the only listing of Thomas B. Wright in Gloucester County, Virginia, and is
consistent with his move away from that county and marriage in 1832 in Campbell
County, Virginia, and his listing in his 1882 death record as the son Thomas and Susan
Wright. This record indicates that Thomas B. Wright was born before March 6, 1814.
The 1830 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright
with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the courthouse.

This record indicates that Thomas Wright was born between about 1790 and 1800.
The listing of only one male in this household is consistent with the separate listing of
Thomas B. Wright in the 1830 Personal Property Tax List and his move out of the
household of his father. The female aged 40 to 50 was probably his wife Susan (

)

Wright and indicates that she was born between about 1780 and 1790.
The 1831 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed
Thomas Wright on February 19, 1831, with 8 slaves above 12 years of age, 2 horses, 1
gig &amp; harness, and a tax of $2.62.
The 1831 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright

The 1833 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed

carriage &amp; harness, and a tax of $4.49.

Thomas Wright on April 15, 1835, with 9 slaves above 12 years of age, 4 horses, 1
carryall &amp; harness, and a tax of $3.49.
The 1835 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright
with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the courthouse.
The 1835 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright
with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the courthouse.
The 1836 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed
Thomas Wright on April 14, 1836, with no property and indicated as "removed".
The 1835 and 1836 Personal Property Tax Lists taken together indicate that
Thomas Wright died between April 15, 1835, and April 14, 1836, and therefore, was
removed from the Personal Property Tax Lists.
The 1836 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed Thomas Wright
with 165 acres of land near York River and 8 miles west of the courthouse and an
additional 3½ acres purchased from Ann W. Taliaferro.
The 1837 Land Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, did not list Thomas
Wright, consistent with his death in 1835 or early 1836.
The death record of Thomas B. Wright dated January 1, 1882, in Campbell
County, Virginia, listed his parents as Thomas Wright and Susan (

However, the information in this record appears to have been in part incorrect, based
on the following evidence.
As set forth above, the 1830 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County,
Virginia, listed Thomas B. Wright. The 1831 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester
County, Virginia, did not list Thomas B. Wright, consistent with his move to Campbell
County, Virginia, and marriage there in 1832.
In addition, the death record of Benjamin Franklin Wright, a son of Thomas B.
Wright, dated on March 7, 1916, in Campbell County, Virginia, listed his parents as
William Thomas Wright, born in Gloucester County, Virginia, and Sarah Wood.
Also, the death record of John H. Wright dated on November 6, 1922, in
Lynchburg, Virginia, listed his parents as Thomas B. Wright, born in Gloucester County,
Virginia, and Elizabeth Wood.
In addition, the death record of James Robert Wright, another son of Thomas B.
Wright, dated on June 4, 1934, in Campbell County, Virginia, listed his father as Tom
Wright, born in Gloucester County, Virginia. Similarly, Virginia, Campbell, Lynchburg,
Diuguid Funeral Home, Records, 1820-1971, available from FamilySearch.org, listed
the same information.

�These records indicate that 1882 Thomas B. Wright of Campbell County was
probably born in Gloucester County, Virginia, rather than Campbell County, Virginia.
However, the absence of 1835/36 Thomas Wright from the 1810 and 1820
Censuses for Gloucester County, Virginia, and from the 1820 through 1823 Personal
Property Tax Lists indicate that he probably lived in another county during the period
when Thomas B. Wright was born. That other county has not as yet been identified.
The date of birth of 1882 Thomas B. Wright of Campbell County may also have
been listed incorrectly in his death record. As set forth above, the 1830 Personal
Property Tax List indicates that Thomas B. Wright was born before March 6, 1814. And
as more fully set forth below, the 1860 Census listed the age of Thomas B. Wright as
57, indicating a date of birth in about 1803, the 1870 Census listed his age as 61,
indicating a date of birth in about 1809, and the 1880 Census listed his age as 69,
indicating a date of birth in about 1811. The marriage bond of Thomas B. Wright and
Elizabeth Wood was dated in 1832, which would make him only 17 years old at the time
of his marriage if his birth was in 1815. This would be somewhat young for his marriage
and the earlier dates of birth indicated in the census records were probably closer to his
actual date of birth. This in turn would indicate that 1835/36 Thomas Wright of
Gloucester County and Susan (

) Wright were probably married well before 1815

and possibly as early as 1802.
1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County may also have been related to the
family of 1809 John Wright of Buckingham County and his son 1813 John Wright of
Buckingham County and his grandson 1842 Thomas Wright of Buckingham County.
As set forth in Sorting Some Of The Wrights Of Southern Virginia, Part XXVIII,
the 1850 Census for Buckingham County, Virginia, listed the birthplace of Elizabeth
(

) Wright, the wife of 1842 Thomas Wright of Buckingham County, as in

Gloucester County. Similarly, the marriage bond of Thomas B. Wright and Elizabeth
Ann Wood dated on July 22, 1832, in Campbell County, Virginia, listed William G. H.
Bingham as surety. In her email dated March 27, 1999, Brett A. Martin stated that
William G. H. Bingham married Martha Wright in about 1830 in Gloucester County,
Virginia. Virginia, Death Registers, 1853-1911, available from Ancestry.com, listed the
death of Martha J. Bingham, the wife of William G. H. Bingham, on December 24, 1889,

0057(091525)

7

�in Montgomery County, Virginia, and her age as 83, indicating a date of birth in about
1806, and her place of birth as in King and Queen County, Virginia, which is
immediately north of Gloucester County, Virginia. This record indicates that 1835/36
Thomas Wright of Gloucester County may have resided in King and Queen County,
Virginia, prior to his move to Gloucester County, Virginia. King and Queen County is
also a burned record county and no record of 1835/36 Thomas Wright in that county
has as yet been found.
While this set of records indicates a connection of 1842 Thomas Wright of
Buckingham County to Gloucester County and therefore, possibly to 1835/36 Thomas
Wright of Gloucester County, further research will be required to confirm any
connection of the family of 1809 John Wright of Buckingham County to 1835/36
Thomas Wright of Gloucester County.
Such a connection might be ascertained by Y-DNA sequencing. As set forth in
Sorting Some Of The Wrights Of Southern Virginia, Part XXVIII, the haplogroup of the
family of 1809 John Wright of Buckingham County has been established in the Wright
DNA Project as R-M269, Group 4. If a male Wright descendant of 1835/36 Thomas
Wright of Gloucester County could be found who would be willing to participate in the
Wright DNA Project, a biological connection between these two families might be
confirmed or denied.
From the evidence set forth above and additional evidence set forth below, the
children of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County and Susan (

) Wright

were the following:
1)

Thomas B. Wright, born in about 1803 or 1809 or 1811 or before March 6,

1814, or in about 1815 in Gloucester County, Virginia, or possibly Campbell County,
and
2)

probably Martha J. (Wright) Bingham, born between about 1800 and 1805

or in about 1803 or on September 21, 1806, or in about 1807 in King &amp; Queen County,
Virginia.

1882 Thomas B. Wright of Campbell County was a son of 1835/36
Thomas Wright of Gloucester County and Susan (

The 1830 Personal Property Tax List for Gloucester County, Virginia, listed
Thomas B. Wright on March 6, 1830, with no property or tax. This was the only listing
of Thomas B. Wright in Gloucester County, Virginia, and is consistent with his move
away from that county and marriage in 1832 in Campbell County, Virginia, and his
listing in his 1882 death record as the son Thomas and Susan Wright. This record
indicates that Thomas B. Wright was born before March 6, 1814.
Thomas B. Wright has not as yet been found in the 1830 Census.
On April 4, 1831, at Campbell County, Virginia, D.B. 18/287, Thomas B. Wright
and William G. H. Bingham purchased from Lorenzo and Lucy Norvell the dower

On February 21, 1834, at Campbell County, Virginia, D.B. 19/353, Lorenzo
Norvell, as trustee under a deed of trust for Chiswell Dabney and John W. Young,

�This record indicates that Thomas B. Wright was born in about 1811. The listing of
Thomas Wright as a widower and the absence of Elizabeth Ann (Wood) Wright from
the household indicates that she had probably died before June 1, 1880.
The death certificate of Thomas B. Wright was dated on January 1, 1882, in
Campbell County, Virginia:

Nancy was often used as a diminutive of Ann and no record of a second marriage of
Thomas B. Wright and a Nancy has as yet been found. However, Nancy was also
listed as the informant, whereas the 1880 Census indicated that his first wife Elizabeth
Ann had died and left Thomas a widower. Taken together, these two records indicate
that Thomas B. Wright married as his second wife Nancy (

) Wright. As set forth

above, this record probably listed his age and place of birth incorrectly.
The death record of Mary Ann Coles dated on January 17, 1915, in Campbell
County, Virginia, listed her parents as Thomas Wright, born in Virginia, and unknown
and her birth on August 3, 1838, in Campbell County, Virginia.

In his email dated January 13, 2000, Leslie N. Wright enclosed a family tree
which stated that Thomas B. Wright was born in 1803 in Campbell County, Virginia,
married Elizabeth Ann Wood on August 22, 1832, in Campbell County, Virginia, and
died on January 1, 1882, in Campbell County, Virginia, that Elizabeth Ann (Wood)
Wright was born in 1814 in Campbell County, Virginia, and that Thomas B. Wright and

Sarah Elizabeth (Wright) Hodges, Her Husband Samuel
James Hodges, And Her Descendants
Sarah Elizabeth (Wright) Hodges was a daughter of 1882

Thomas B. Wright of Campbell County and Elizabeth Ann or Nancy (Wood) Wright.
(1835/36 Thomas1, 1882 Thomas B.2)
No direct documentary evidence has as yet been found that identifies Sarah
Elizabeth Wright as a daughter of 1882 Thomas B. Wright of Campbell County and
Elizabeth Ann or Nancy (Wood) Wright. However, the circumstantial evidence supports
that identification.
The marriage record of Sarah Wright and Samuel J. Hodges dated on March 23,
1853, in Campbell County, Virginia, is the source for the identification of Sarah as a
daughter of Thomas B. Wright and at the same time the source for the uncertainty of
that identification.
The original record of this marriage from the Campbell County Clerk is partially
torn and appears to read as follows:
" pbell County March

The name of the father giving the consent for this marriage is obliterated by a tear in the
paper. The listings "Saml J" and "Sarah E" on the reverse side are in a different hand
from the remainder of the writing on that side of the document. In a note dated
September 3, 2025, the Clerk of the Circuit Court stated that this document was in the
marriage bonds folder and was the only document relating to this marriage in their file.
Campbell County, Virginia, Marriage Bonds 1781-1854, typed by the
Genealogical Society of Utah in November 1937, listed the following marriage record at
page 59:
"Campbell County, Virginia
Groom
....
Hodges, Samuel J.

Bride

Date

It is unclear on what the listing of John B. Wright as bondsman and father was based or
whether it was the consent that was being listed or the marriage bond.
Virginia, Marriage Registers, 1853-1935, available from Ancestry.com, listed the
marriage record of Sarah E. Wright and Samuel J. Hodges on March 23, 1853, in
Campbell County, Virginia, and listed her father as Thomas B. Wright:

Again, it is unclear on what the listing in this Register was based, but whoever prepared
this record for the clerk's office relied on something for this listing and notwithstanding
the note from the clerk's office, there may have been a marriage bond which listed
Thomas B. Wright as the father of Sarah E. Wright.
Virginia, Vital Records, 1715-1912, available from FamilySearch.org, also listed
the marriage of Sarah E. Wright and Samuel J. Hodges on March 23, 1853, in
Campbell County, Virginia, and her father as Thomas B. Wright:

."

Again, it is unclear on what the listing in this Registry was based, but is a second listing
from the clerk's office of Thomas B. Wright as the father of Sarah E. Wright.
The most persuasive evidence from the above documents regarding the father of
Sarah E. Wright is the witness "

am Richard Wright" on the original consent. As more

fully set forth below, William Richard Wright was the oldest son of 1882 Thomas B.
Wright and a family member would often witness consents to marriage by parents. This
listing on the original consent, therefore, ties that document to the family of Thomas B.
Wright and indicates strongly that the missing given name on the consent would have
been Thomas.
Finally, as set forth above, the marriage record of Thomas B. Wright and
Elizabeth Ann Wood was dated on July 22, 1832, in Campbell County, Virginia, and as
set forth below, Sarah E. (Wright) Hodges was born in about 1833 in Campbell County,
Virginia. Such a date of birth is consistent with Sarah being the oldest child of 1882
Thomas B. Wright and Elizabeth Ann (Wood) Wright.
Although this identification suffers from some uncertainty due to the
inconsistencies in the records, the circumstantial evidence set forth above seems
sufficient to identify Sarah Elizabeth (Wright) Hodges as the daughter of 1882 Thomas
B. Wright.
The remainder of this section will set forth the other documentation that has
been found for this couple and their descendants.
The 1850 Census for Bedford County, Virginia, listed James Hodges in the
Jessee Hodges household on October 3, 1850, his age as 18 and born in Virginia,
indicating a date of birth in about 1832, and his occupation as laborer.
As set forth above, the marriage record of Sarah E. Wright and Samuel J.
Hodges was dated on March 23, 1853, in Campbell County, Virginia.
Virginia, Births And Christenings, 1853-1917, available from FamilySearch.org,
listed the birth of Ferlander Jefferson Hodges, son of Samuel J. and Sarah E. Hodges,

"J. S. Elliott
Mr. James Sidney Elliott, 85 years old, a prominent farmer and churchman of
Sheep Creek Valley, died Sunday morning at his home near Reba following a
long illness, death resulting from the infirmities of old age. He was a native of
the county and the greater part of his active life was spent in the community
where death occurred, and where he was held in high regard for his integrity of
character and fair-dealing with his fellow-man. Mr. Elliott was a member of New
Prospect Baptist church and was active in the work of that congregation as long
as strength and health would permit.
Mr. Elliott is survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: William,
John and Edward Elliott, Misses Jimmie and Lula Elliott, Mrs. J. F. Powell, Mrs.
J. B. Carter, of Reba, and Mrs. O. D. Newman, of Moseley Bridge. A foster son,
Joe Brown, and a number of grandchildren also survive.
Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. C. M. Roberson, Rev. Horace Wilkinson and Dr. J. H. Grey,
and burial was in the home cemetery. Active pallbearers were J. F., Andrew, J.

The given name of the head of household appears to have been listed originally as W.
Wright and then that name was written over with "W.illiam", so I have included the
apparently written over portion in brackets. The census taker may not have recognized
the unusual name of Waddie or Watkins and interpreted his notes as William. This
record indicates that Waddie or Watkins Benjamin Wright and Sarah Elizabeth (Farmer)
Wright were born in about 1871.

Both marriage records listed the husband's surname as Johnson, but all later
records regarding this couple listed his surname as Cole or Coles. Either the clerk
inadvertently mis-listed the husband's surname as Johnson because his parent was
listed as Sally Johnson or the husband's surname was Johnson and he later changed it
to Coles.

Although some of the information in this record is inconsistent with other records set
forth above and below, this was probably the household of Fulton Coles. The given
name of Fulton Coles was apparently confused with his son and the dates of birth and
marriage are inconsistent with other records. Nevertheless, there was no other listing
of Fulton Coles or Mary Ann (Wright) Coles or their son James F. Coles in the 1900
Census and the presence of Mary A. Coles and James F. Coles in this household
indicates that it was the Fulton Coles household.
Newspapers.com listed the following news article dated on Sunday, January 7,
1906, in The News and Advance, Lynchburg, Virginia, regarding the death of Fulton
Coles on January 6, 1906:
"Lost Life In Accident
Old Confederate Veteran Loses His Life in South Lynchburg
Mr. Fulton Coles, aged 65, lost his life yesterday morning between 10 and
11o'clock while at work excavating for an extension of the planing mill of S. A.
Wright, in South Lynchburg. The deceased was a Confederate veteran, and is
survived by a widow and an umber of adult children.
The work was being done under the direction of Mr. John W. Gills, and without
the slightest warning the side of the excavation caved in. Mr. Coles endeavored
to run to a place of safety, but ran into a cart, which was standing nearby and
was caught by the earth and pinned between the earth and the cart, the dirt
covering his legs above the knees.
Mr. Gills and the men working with Mr. Coles rushed to him to assist him, but it
was soon found that the injuries received by the unfortunate man were fatal.
Both of his collar bones were fractured, and he received internal injuries, all of
which caused his death in about an hour after the accident took place.
The remains of Mr. Coles were removed to his home in Durmid, where they will
be kept until the funeral, which will probably take place sometime today"

"Mrs. Mary Ann Coles
Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 17. - Mrs. Mary Ann Coles, aged 76 years, died this
morning at her home in Campbell county near the city. She was a native of
Campbell and a daughter of the late Thomas Wright."

19, 1915, in The News and Advance, Lynchburg, Virginia:
"Death Of Mrs. Coles.
Mrs. Mary Ann Coles, aged 76 years, died early Sunday morning at her home, in
the county, a short distance from the city. She was a Miss Wright before her

three brothers, John and Berry F. Wright, of Durmid, and Robert Wright, of

"Walter Lee Wright Charged With Murder Of Mother
Woman Found Fatally Shot At Her Home
Son, Arrested, Had Notified Undertaker, Denies He Committed Act
Mrs. Walter Lee Wright, 55, of 822 Wise street, died yesterday afternoon of a
gunshot wound in her side and her 26-year old son, Walter Lee Wright, Jr., is
charged by Lynchburg police with the slaying.
Mrs. Wright died a few minutes after she reached Lynchburg General Hospital
where she was taken by an ambulance summoned by her son. Dr. James
Wilkins, City coroner, said she had a gaping wound in the side of the abdomen.

0057(091525)

405

�When attendants from the Whitten Funeral Home arrived at the house, they
found Mrs. Wright lying in the floor. The son accompanied the ambulance and
remained at the funeral home where he was put under arrest by the police.
From the dead woman's husband, police said the learned that the son came in
about 1 o'clock yesterday morning and for three hours stamped about the house
"fussing and cussing." Walter left the house about 4 o'clock and Mr. Wright said
he did not return until his father was at church, officers related.
Ran Father From Home
When he returned home Mr. Wright brought with him J. W. Hodges of 511
Thirteenth street. Walter became enraged at his father and ran him out of the
house with the shotgun, police said they learned from the men. Mr. Hodges also
left at the same time.
Mr. Wright told police that he attempted to take the gun away from his son but
when he could not, left to summon another son who could handle Walter when
he was drunk, the officers continued. When the father returned a short while
later, he found that his wife had been shot.
From neighbors who heard the shots fired, police estimated that the shooting
occurred shortly before 3 o'clock. Acting Sergeant Mose Brooks said
investigating officers believed that three shots were fired.
Shotgun Found
Detective Roy Thurston found a 12-gauge single barrel shotgun in the back yard
of the residence. The gun and an empty wine bottle were brought to police
station.
Brooks said that the son appeared to be intoxicated when he was brought to City
Hall lock-up. He told the officers that he had not shot his mother.
Born in Campbell County October 6, 1885, Mrs. Wright was the daughter of

"Deny Wright Made Confession
Relatives Say He Did Not Admit Killing Miss Rosa Farmer
Lynchburg, Va, Nov. 21 - Although there have been persistent rumors in
Campbell County since the death of Maben T. Wright that he made full
confession that it was he who murdered Miss Rosa Farmer, a cousin, and that
he did so because she was about to marry another man, the family of the dead
man are making stout denial that any such confession was made.
Instead, the family has given out a statement for publication in which they
declare that Wright had been praying for a long time and that he was satisfied as
to the future and was not afraid to die. Neighbors in Fairview Heights who
ministered to the family during Wright's illness are also of the belief that Wright
did not make a confession, but that he maintained to his last words that he had
never committed a crime. Wright's death occurred several days ago after a long
illness of tuberculosis.
Wright was charged two years ago with the murder of his cousin Miss Rosa
Farmer, who was found murdered in Candler's Mountain, south of Lynchburg,
where she had gone a short distance from her mountain home to look for her
traps. Wright, then a soldier at the proving ground at Aberdeen, Md., was at
home at the time, and when the murder became known he fled to the mountains
and was not captured for a week, suffering fearfully all the time because of cold
and lack of food. Later, when captured and brought to jail here, he denied any
knowledge of the murder and asserted that he fled only when he was advised
that suspicion rested upon him. Wright was some days recovering from the

�effects of his exposure. Later he was tried in the Circuit Court at Rustburg,
Campbell county, where he was acquitted and discharged. He later returned to
the army."

Joseph Chapman Day has not as yet been found in the 1910 Census.
In his email dated January 13, 2000, Leslie N. Wright enclosed a family tree

0057(091525)

613

�which stated that Elizabeth Wright was a daughter of Thomas B. Wright and Elizabeth
Ann (Wood) Wright and was born in 1856.
From the evidence set forth above and additional evidence set forth below, the
children of Elizabeth F. (Wright) Day and Joseph Chapman Day were the following:
1)

Samuel Wesley Day, born in July 1874 or on May 2 or 5, 1876, or in about

1877 in Campbell County, Virginia,
2)

Joseph Chapman Day, Jr., born in September 1876 or in about 1877 or

1878 in Campbell County, Virginia, and
3)

Thomas E. Day, born on July 24, 1879, in Campbell County, Virginia.
a.

Samuel Wesley Day, His Wife Mary Elizabeth (Boley) Day,
And His Descendants
Samuel Wesley Day was a son of Elizabeth F. (Wright) Day

and Joseph Chapman Day. (1835/36 Thomas1, 1882 Thomas B.2, Elizabeth F.3)
The 1880 Census for Campbell County, Virginia, listed Sallie Day in the
Chapman Day household on June 2, 1880, her relationship as daughter, and her age
as 4 and born in Virginia, indicating a date of birth in about 1876. Although listed as
Sallie, the date of birth indicates that this was probably a listing for Samuel Wesley Day
and the census taker misread his notes listing "Saml" as standing for "Sallie". No other
record has been found indicating that Elizabeth F. (Wright) Day and Joseph Chapman
Day had a daughter Sallie.
Virginia, Marriage Registers, 1853-1935, available from Ancestry.com, listed the

The nearness of the dates of birth of Elizabeth A. Wright and Sarah E. Wright
set forth below and the absence of further records of Elizabeth A. Wright suggest that
Elizabeth A. Wright and Sarah E. Wright may have been the same person, Sarah's
middle name was Elizabeth, and two separate birth records with different dates of birth
were inadvertently recorded for them. However, the 1900 Census for Campbell County,
Virginia, listed Sarah Elizabeth (Trent) Wright as the mother of 9 children, of whom 6
were then living, and the three deceased children would then be Elizabeth A. Wright,
Sarah E. Wright, and Mary E. Wright. Further research will be required to determine
whether Elizabeth A. Wright and Sarah E. Wright were the same person.

B.

Probably Martha J. (Wright) Bingham, Her Husband William George H.
Bingham, And Her Descendants
Martha J. (Wright) Bingham was probably a daughter of 1835/36 Thomas
) Wright. (1835/36 Thomas1)

Wright of Gloucester County and Susan (

No direct evidence has yet been found that Martha J. (Wright) Bingham was the
daughter of 1835/36 Thomas Wright of Gloucester County. However, the following
circumstantial evidence supports this identification.
As set forth above, the marriage bond of Thomas B. Wright and Elizabeth Ann
Wood dated on July 22, 1832, in Campbell County, Virginia, listed William G. H.
Bingham as surety. The role of surety on a marriage bond was often filled by a relative
or close friend and brother in law would fit that role. As set forth below, the death
record of Martha J. Bingham, the wife of William G. H. Bingham, dated on December
24, 1889, in Montgomery County, Virginia, listed her age as 83, indicating a date of birth
in about 1806, and her place of birth as in King and Queen County, Virginia, which is
immediately north of Gloucester County, Virginia. As set forth above, 1835/36 Thomas
Wright resided in Gloucester County beginning in 1823 and the proximity of King and
Queen County to Martha's place of birth in King and Queen County is consistent with a
family relationship. And as set forth above and again below, on February 21, 1834, at
Campbell County, Virginia, D.B. 19/353, Thomas B. Wright, the son of 1835/36 Thomas
Wright, and William G. H. Bingham jointly purchased a parcel of 60 acres of land in
Campbell County. Such a joint purchase indicates a close and probably family
relationship between Thomas and William and given their similar ages, the relationship
of brothers in law would be appropriate for these two.
While this evidence indicates a probable family relationship between Martha J.

0057(091525)

749

�(Wright) Bingham and 1835/36 Thomas Wright and 1882 Thomas B. Wright, further
research will be required to confirm or deny this identification.
The remainder of this section will review the documentation found regarding
Martha J. (Wright) Bingham, her husband William George H. Bingham and their
descendants.
The marriage record of Martha J. Wright and William G. H. Bingham has not as
yet been found. As set forth below, their son John Stephen Bingham was born in 1827
and therefore, the marriage probably occurred in about 1825 or 1826. If the marriage
occurred in King and Queen County, the record was probably destroyed in the fires of
1828, 1833, and 1864 and if the marriage occurred in Gloucester County, the record
was probably destroyed in the fire in Richmond in 1865.

Museum shopping bag in hand,
Mrs.Yost and first grade teacher
Mary Beth King enjoyed a day in
New York City. Retirement will
offer Mrs. Yost a chance to persue
her love of travel.

DEALER'S CHOICE
It was almost guaranteed that anybody who had Mrs. Yost as a teacher

would remember her forever. Some of this year's seniors had Mrs. Yost
in the third grade, and all of them agreed that she was a wonderful friend
as well as teacher. Her soft eyes were always comforting and
reassuring, and her gentle, steady tone was ideal for relating to young
students. Her understanding and patience were incredible, and many
students have admired her warmth and caring.
She also taught kindergarten and most recently, first grade. Unfortunately,
she is now leaving for good in her retirement. Anyone who did not get
a chance to have her as a friend or teacher missed out on an exciting
opportunity.

With h er ~ now bunny outfi t. fully

Every time Mrs. Yost
passed by a senior or
anyone she had, she
always said, " Hello,

would talk about funny

in those earlier days.
Those days and that
special woman that no

�During a study hall , Roland

School students spent their time
socializing in the Commons Area
while playing "Gin Rummy."
During a six th grade social studies
class, Glen Pauerson,Jeffery Loeb,
KJ. Hippensteel, Tim Kelly listened
and took notes on the subject. Mr.
Calvert's topic was Bcowalf.

CUT THE DECK
''Hey, what class do you have next?"
''I've got European History Seminar, but it's a reading
period today." ''WeD, I've got studyball, so bow about a
quick game of cards?" ''Sure, I'm two days ahead in my
reading. On second thought, I don't want to get on the
teacher's bad side, being new here and all." "The teachers
won't mind as long as you're caught up. They're basically
relaxed, and since we are all close here, they understand.
How about gin rummy? Do you want to deal?"
''What do you mean deal?"... ''You know, the deal."
''Whose deal?" ... "Our deal." ... ''What's the deal all
about?" ... "Everybody, you know, the deal here."
''You mean at school?"
''Yeah, there are lots of different deals here. We've got a
good hand this time. From spirited sports to hyper dances
withnew and better bands that play anything from reggae
to sixties tunes, it's all here. We've got the perfect deal
with small classes and close ties to the teachers."
''Sounds like a good game plan." ... ''WeU,anyway, I'll cut
the deck and here's the deal."

"You got it, let's play!"

�A greardeal oj.life here at school was spent
taking notes, answering essay questions, and
participating in class tliscussions, yet the lives
of students did not~only take place in the
cliiSsroom. Tliere was no better example of
this than 11omecuming week. During these
five days the school generated more Raider'
spzrit tlian ever. From Liberty Day to
creatures ofall sizes that roamed the halls on
AJI-:Hultows Vay to the green bleachers
packed with-cheering students of all ages,
decked out in spirited red and white pens,
rugbyls, and-hats, led by Mr. Carter Brothers
as wel as Mrs. Sandy Patterson with her
famous cowbell game ,-this week was like no
other. The intense powder puff game was
played between t e senior and junior girls,
fetitiiring a special halftime show by the male
cheerleaders who looked better than ever in
short cheerleading skirts and red pin striped
sweaters also took place during Homecoming
week.
The live of the High School students at
school also involved daily assemblies, which
were-usually led by seniors, showing offtheir
pe~sonal talents and interests. The Middle
School could often be seen immersed in their
frequent intramural competitions. From
indoor sports such as volleyball and
basketball to outdoor sports such as the
strenuous tug-of-war, members of the
orange, purple, and blue teams would never
fail to cheer their team on toward victory.
Filling the music room with peppy seasonal
melodies, many Lower School classes could
be found at different times of the day
preparing for their Christmas program and
later for their Spring program.
The lives of students still did not end with the
three o'clock bell because there were still
jobs, sports, and homework to fill the hours.
With activities beginning with the seven
o'clock alarm beep, all the students had a full
deck to play with.

Steven Ferguson frolicked in the grass with a passel

"My job was easy. I got free food and drinks and
it was good pay."
Everyone could stand to have a little extra cash,
right? Of course. That's the reason why many
students spent their afternoons working at different
loca l re s t a u r a nt s, I a und r i es,
grocery stores, and sporting goods
stores. Megan Aldrich spent two or
three nights a week as a hostess at
Chef Santos Italian restaurant on
Franklin Road. Tyson Manthe i
handled laundry and dry cleaning
for customers at Wheeler's Fast

from the others by his personalized license plate.

stuck.
Showing off his fifty-five Oldsmobile. junior
George Vogel waited for the three o'clock bell.
The antique car that was passed down to him by
his uncle was driven by his father when he was
also sixteen.

Parked outside Willis Hall, there were cars with
license plates such as: MEGIPOO, SPAZZ,
KAROTOP, SHNITZ, GROOVY B, AND SWT CATE.
Of the various cars in the parking lot, a few stood
out as different, some downright unique. Carter

only fitting that this
name be printed on her
license plate when she

as. "Virgin ia is for

"Dean" was one such example.
First driven by Carter's oldest

Jeep was handed down to
brother Tee, '86, and siste r

�The Lower School students are caught
watching Saturday morning cartoons and
having playtime in the afternoons with Legos
and G.l. Joe figures when they have free time.
The Middle School students play popular
computer games from Babbages or hang out
at the mall on their free time. The Upper
Schoolers basically enjoy doing absolutely
nothing or catch up on the overload of
homework that often arises.
But while in school, every one of the 550
students (except an occasional daydreamer)
is learning. Either practicing a shorter way to
multiply two digits or finding the second
derivative of a cubic function; either reading
out loud See Tom Run or Shakespeare's
Hamlet. It is amazing to think each mind is
sorting through information, trying to make
heads or tails of it. From kindergarten to
twelfth grade everyone has work to do, and at
the time it is important to do it successfully.
The kindergartener pours beans and the
senior researches the War in the Gulf.
Everyone has the same goal - to complete
whatever task they are being asked to do, and
that is howthestudentbody isalloneforce, all
reaching for the same goal ahead.
There is so much going on at once at so many
different levels in one institution. The deal
here is that there is a place for everyone -and
one day that kindergartener will be that
senior.

After a long day at school, Alex, Amaya, and Jon greet their
mother, Professora Mendizabal. This is Professora's first year as
a Spanish teacher at a high school, and she had her hands full with
her three children as soon as the last bell rang.
Acting both as a teacher and a mother, Mrs. Sandy Patterson
shares her knowledge of science with her daughter, Glenn.
Glenn, a current sixth grader, took advantage of having her
mother as a teacher by sitting comfortably in the teacher's lounge.

"it's good to know the teachers and friends of my daughters."

Jeff doesn't walk in the opposite direction if he

papers signed when I need it. But she knows
everything I do ... good and bad!"
Shari ng her happiness that her daughte rs are
close to her during the school day. Mrs.
Ho uston remarked, .. Heather and Laura
brought me to North Cross. I think it' s good
to be here with them because I'm in vo lved
w ith my children but I can be involved too
much! Whe n a teacher comes into the library,
I don't know whether they are coming to get a
book or to ask what happened on ei ther
Heather or Laura' s last test. Although it's
good to know the teachers and friends of my
daughters." Whi le most responses made by
the faculty's c hildren were positive, there
were a few negati ve points to having a parent
work he re. Heather Houston, a sophomore ,

replied, " If s hard having my mother work in
the library because my teachers can tell her
everything I do." Heather's younger sister,
Laura, shared the same view.
The children are not the only ones w ho have a
sense of uneasiness knowing that their parents
are here. Most of the faculty was sympathe tic
to the fact that it is not always easy for the ir
kids. Mr. Calvert explained, ''I like be ing here
with Blair. I like being able to watc h he r play
in athletics. It' s also convenient. But o n the
other hand, it' s hard for Blair because teachers
can tell me what she got on her last test or
what she did in a specific situation before she
gets to te ll me herself." When Blair was asked
the same question as her fathe r, she answered
in a positive tone, " I guess it" s good because I
can get money and papers signed whe never I

Bringing more insight to the question , Deke
Andrews said, "Parents are usua lly looking for
time to spend with their children, and I have
found a way to be near my kids outside of
home. I feel privileged to be around the m so
much every day. I enjoy being involved in

also helps me to know the frie nds and teache rs

fee lings. Betty Ashton A ndrews took a
different approach in answering the question
by saying, "I like having my dad at school, bu t

seemed to like being c lose to his father every

Everyone may not realize that the CAC is

�Pigtails tied with brightpurple ribbons, lunch
boxes decorated with Michelan gelo,
Leonardo, and the rest ofthe Teenage Mutant
Turtle Gang, and bright, youthful grins filled
the halls ofthe Lower School building, which
was livelier than ever this year! What with the
kindergartens's Teddy Bear Day, the first
graders' trip to see the play "Sleeping
Beauty", the second graders dinosaur
projects, the read- in held by the third grade,
the fourth graders' journey to Monticello,
and the International Dinner held by the fifth
grade, how could it be boring?
On homecomi ng week the Lower School
children did not allow themselves to be left out
of the action. Holding their own contest to
determine which class could produce the
most creative door decoration, they generated
their mounting spiritfor the upcoming game.
These youngsters showed their everlasting
energy in every occasion throughou t the year.
From transforming into miniature detectives,
princesses, and M&amp;M's at their annual
Halloween Carnival to once again pouring
out their lungs with peppy seasonal songs at
their Christmas program, the Lower School
children never skipped a beat.
Our young classmates also showed their
motivation in their school work and projects
painted with every crayola color made that
lined all walls of the Lower School building
throughout the year. The energy and spirit
thatpoured forth from our young students in
all that they took part in formed the perfect
DEAL in Lower School life.

the life of a busy first grader. Among the
most popular activities were the Indian
section and letter writing to President Bush.
"Making teepees was lots of fun!" said one
child while another student pointed out the
pictures of Indians posted on the bulletin
board. The first graders had fun with
creative writing by making up stories about
the Indians. The stories were quite
interesting with a variety of different
versions of what Indians were like a long

time ago. One morning during reading period
Mrs. Edna Yost read the story, "St. George
and the Dragon", which happens to be one of
President Bush 's favorite childre n' s stories.
The first graders enjoyed it so much they all
wrote letters to him. Cameron Johnson wrote
to the President a second time and received a
pamphlet on the White House, showing
pictures of both the White House and Bush's

The hum of the school bus's motor could be heard,
telling all presentthat the bus was getting nice and
toasty in preparation for the upcoming trip. Ten
minutes and they would be gone! They would leave
the normal classroom routine and daily lectures and
take a journey into the land of Busch Gardens, Lake
Moomaw, and white water rafting. Such were the
field trips taken by the Middle School this year.
The sixth graders got a taste of"The Old Country" in
which they were able to experience Italy, France,
Germany, and many other lands ofEurope only four
hours away from home. During their trip to Busch
Gardens they also tackled the Loch Ness Monster and
proved that they truly were not afraid ofThe Big Bad
Wolf. The seventh graders ventured into the
wilderness, where they "looked at little critters", as
Adam Newman said., canoed to an island in the
center of Lake Moomaw, and took a night hike in
which they searched for spiders and conducted an
owl call. They also floated upon the waters ofthe lake
early the next morning and caught a glimpse of the
beautiful sunrise. The eighth grade armed with
helmets and life jackets conquered the white water
rapids, visited a coal mine and factory, and camped
out under the stars during their action-packed trip.
The field trips taken by the Middle Schoolers
throughout the year not only gave them a break from
the classroom but also gave them an opportunity to
learn in a new environment. How better to study
spiders, minnows, and the nature of rivers than to
camp out nearby at Lake Moomaw for two days?
These trips provided the Middle Schoolers with a way
to make the learning process both fun and
interesting. Life in the Middle School this year was
exciting both in and out of the classroom.

"There is a variety of classes
means more teachers," says
Brandon Lacroix. Adjustment has been
no problem for these young people and
it is obvious they have enjoyed the
change by their enthusiasm.
"It is a lot better having more freedom
thi s year," remarked Tim Kelly. After
being in the Lower School, having
lockers, and changing rooms for
different classes gives the boys and girls
a sense of being more grown up.
Instead of being limited to one field trip,

the sixth grade has ventured on many
trips. In the fall they took a trip to
Busch Gardens located in Williamsburg,
VA, and it was a great success. "It was
lots of fun," said Drew Guelzow, "We
rode roller coasters and made a play." A
week before Christmas the sixth grade
boarded a bus and traveled down to the
Roanoke City Market to do a little bit of
everything. Shopping, eating, and
enjoying the decorations were a few of
the activities that filled the eventful day.
Experiencing a new atmosphere with
new teachers, more freedom, and a
feeling of growing up was what the sixth
grade faced this year and what an
exciting time it has been for them.

There were various preliminary
problems to narrow down the group
to eight people with Mrs. Debbi
Sharp as the advisor.
Math Counts problems are solved in
many different ways by using either
algebratic equations or looking at
drawings; one might have to test
several combinations of different
forms of addition, subtraction,

multiplication, and division. Some
problems test the students for speed.
Some problems are complex and
mystify the participants, while some
are solved easily.
Although the whole eighth grade
doesn't actually take part in Math
Counts, it is something that only the
eighth grade class does. North Cross
is well known for having good Math

All the teachers and coaches were

�The-first semester ofthe senior year is jam
packed with preparations for one's senior
speech and college admittance. There are
a privileged few that started their college
search in their junior year and made their
college decisions early. Many of these
lucky individuals heardfrom the college of
their choice within the first semester. If
accepted, they had no future college
worries the rest ofthe year. Thefirstofthe
class of 1992 to be accepted was Chris
Surrusco at Duquesne University in
Pittsburgh followed by Roland
Oelschlager at UVA, Marty Wakat at Wake
Forest, and Alan Ramsey at Randolph-

Macon.
The stress factor in the senior year is
extremely high, and it really helped
knowing exactly where you would be
attending the following year. "The only
thing left to worry about was my senior
speech, and after that, I'm outa here!"
said Marty Wakat. Ben Guess said that he
was glad to be in college but the only
reason he applied to Tech early was that
there was no essay on the application.

These people had a tremendous load lifted
off of their shoulders and were envied by
the rest of the senior class. Other seniors
waited impatiently to hear from the
colleges of their choice wondering where
they would spend the next four years. "I
wish I had applied early ", said Megan
Aldrich, ''because it would be nice to know
that I was done with high school and in
college."

"Stop, look and listen!", said Mrs
Paitsel as she flipped off and on
the lights. Twelve of the current
seniors remember phrases such
as this from their days of
kindergarten at North Cross.
These seniors who have been
here every year since
kindergarten are in that special
group known as the Survival
Club.
Recess was the activity most
looked forward to in the Lower
School, and it went by so
quickly. "I remember the feeling
of disappointment when I heard
that whistle blow, signaling the
end of recess.", said Stephanie
Shaftman reminiscing. In fourth
grade, the most exciting thing to
be was a line leader,so you could
lead the class down the hall in a
single file line. The red rods,
the pink blocks, the snacks, the
naps. These were the elements
of the Lower School. Then came
Middle School, then Upper. The
years fly by, and all of this
becomes a memory. The
members of the Survival Club
have these memories to share
with each other and the present
kindergarten class at the Fat
Pencil ceremony.

On a fou rth grade field trip to
VMI. Marry Wakat showed
his e nthu siasm.
Alan
Ramsey, who neve r thought
that he would deliver his
senior speech in Slack Hall
nine years later, did not
appear to be impressed with

�Between dances, th owing horseshoes, and
playing French "Scrabble", students found
,some fun in between the less popular class
time and-tests and papers.
The Founder's Day Dance was a great break
on Saturday the 25th ofFebruary. This was
the first responsibility ofthe Freshman class.
Edwin Wilson as class president did a great
job organizing fund raisers, such as jeans
days and pizza sales. The Upper School
stu ents gather-e in the Carter Athletic
Center to jam to "On Edge."
Also, every other week there is time to relax
and resist the stress which can sometimes
become close to unbearable. However, that
hour on every odd Thursday when the various
clubs gathered was a time to vent frustration.
Either by acting in the Improv Troupe or
playing French games, everyone had
something to do.
Everyone enjoyed and took advantage of this
time to let go of the school pressures - the
seniors were worried about college essays and
applications and thejuniors were just starting
the whole process with January SAT's. The
freshman and sophomores had their own
problems ofgetting adjusted and having new
teachers with new "philosophies", like Dr.
Jim Palmieri. With worries like these,
making the stress level skyrocket, all the
dances, compe-titions, and games were
welcome.

�During the Founder's Day ceremony. a senior, Ben Guess. spoke
about the three years that he attended school here. Among the other
speakers were Mr. David Doughterty, Emily Manetta, Peter
Ostaseski, and graduate Lin Melchionna.
Singing along to the words of the school song, which is to the tune
of "Edelweiss", lower school student Diana Lang takes part in
celebrating the school's thirtieth anniversary. Another song that the
students joined in on was "Happy Birthday" to North Cross School.

The new tradition of Founder's Day,
which was started by Mr. Dav id
Daughtery, was held this year once
again putting the Carter Athletic Center
to use. The practice gym was packed
with students from the kindergarten to
the twelth grade, many parents,
teachers, and the camera men from
Roanoke's local

the gym giving the perfect finishing to

Guess talked about the confusing daily
schedule in the Upper School, being a
new student in his sophomore year, and
the availability of teachers after school
or whenever to get personal help. The
last speaker was Lin Melchionna,
valedictorian of the class of 1971, who
shared snapshots of her life at North
Cross and how it

The ceremony had speakers from all

From the Lower School, fifth grader

about his pants being on backwards.
Eighth gra der, Emily M ane tta ,

�Using their imagination, the lmprov Troupe applied their
creative abilities to different acting games. In this situation.

In the rainforest in Africa,
the pygmies dance with the head hunters
and the tribal chant echoes with the beatings
of a thousand drums,
black bodies entranced into the music, chanting,
whistling into the oneness of a thunderbolt.
The blowing of the conch signals danger is

the huts of straw and mud that outline the
dripping green elephant ear leaves.

The trickle of dew-sweat forebodes the liquid
the black leathery skin will produce out of the
tribal drum player.
Construction and loggers need not enter here.
The notes reverberate into the sacred halls of the
jungle
and the foreman laughs
at the flayed ebony skin splashing red blood,
and in the darkness out of the whites of eyes flow
salt water
as the dance goes on.
The wise medicine man raises the ankh of eternal
life across the still pygmies' bone marrow and
screams to frighten away
the demon of industrialization from the music of
rebirth.

�Working on a tough geometry problem, Lisa Harrison,
a Triangle me mber, he lped Carter Smith. Lisa like the
other membe rs of the Triangle Society, often answered
questions and helped stude nts work out their problems.

Lounging in the triangle. sophomore Laura Palmer
studied her biology. Many students found the Triangle
not only a place to come for he lp, but also a quiet
comfortable place to study.

Being elected member of the Triangle, National
Honor Society, or the Upper School SCA may
look good on a college application, but a load of
hard work comes with the honor. Matt Ottaway,
the Upper School SCA president, demonstrated
his dedication to the student body by spending
hours at school during the summer, in preparation
for the arrival of the new students, as well as the
return of the others. Matt continued to follow
through with his responsibilities by organizing
Symposium, helping to run Campus Com er, and
by advising the underclassmen w ith money
making activities.

In preparation for the Spring Junior/
Senior Pro m, SCA vice-president,
Stewart Baucom suggested a list of
possible bands to Kristen Humphries.
The junior class was responsible for
fundin g a nd o r ga ni z in g th e
festi vities.
Student Body SCA : Stewart Baucom. Man Onaway. Raissa Remandaban, Kara Stecker.

The National Honor Society sold magazines in
order to raise money for the student scholarship
fund. The National Honor Society also raised
money for an alcohol free after prom party in the
spring, supplying Texas Tavern chili, donuts, and
door prizes.
The Honor Council continued to grow stronger,
promoting honesty within the entire student body.
The counci l members had meetings with the
students, either in advisor groups, or with the
entire class in order to educate all of the students
about the meaning of honor and how to prevent
dishonesty wi thi n the school.
All of the societies and councils are a great honor
to be elected to, but, the prestige does not come
without the hard work and dedication of all of the
members.

�Repeating jumping jacks until he drops,
running laps until he stumbles, sprinting
until his legs practically fall off, spiking until
her feet would not even get an inch off the
ground, and drilling shots to the goalie- these
are the practice techniques to keep in shape
that all athletes find so excruciatingly painful
and demanding.
With each team practicing almost every day
f or one and a half to two and a half hours, it
is understandable why there is so much
potentia/for injury,. The ligaments, tendons,
bones, and muscles can easily be blown out,
torn, broken, and pulled. It seemed as if there
was an exceptionally high injury rate for the
fall season.
Lisa Harrison started off the trend by tearing
a main ligament in her left knee over the
summer. This shot down her chance to play
volleyball her senior year. Marty Wakat had
a similar predicament when he broke his
ankle and leg in afootballgame. Marty was
crushed when he remembered that his senior
Homecoming game was the next weekend
and he would have to warm the bench for a
change. Marcus Caldwell had the same
injury as Marty in another f ootball collision,
but this was in the first scrimmage of the
season, also blowing his chances to play the
entire season. Melissa Blythe, whose leg
injury was not sports related, had to rest on
the sideline of the girls basketball games
when she should have been playing.
These extreme and unfortunate accidents
down to the bruise over Kim Eubank's eye
that she got when earnestly trying to save a
volleyball from being offsides were all
infuriating and painful, but everyon e
managed to make it with a little patience and
perserverance. The overall deal with sports
was recooperating over these mishaps, but
soon everyone
was

�With only six seniors the team
was forced to dip into the
bucket of youth.
Rumors began to spread about
the 1991 Raiders football team .
Most students were doubtful that
the Raiders could have a
successful season after losing
twelve seniors last year, but the
team was determined to squash
the negative spectators. With only
six seniors, the team was forced
to dip into the bucket of youth . Mr.
Muscaro had many tough choices
to make with so much talent on
his hands. With a starting offense
of four seniors and seven underclassmen , the Raiders rolled into
th e season against RandolphMacon and finished against
Fishburn Military.
Although young , the team is
promising and will definitely be
ready for future seasons with the
coaching of Coach and Dutch
Muscaro and Mr. Hartley, a new
middle school teacher.

With star senior player Lisa Harrison
sidelined by a leg injury and slots to
fill for seven of last year's seniors,
this past year was a time of
rebuilding for the varsity volleyball
team. After two months and
eighteen games, one could hardly
tell that this was an inexperienced
team. As the season unfolded , the
team gained confidence in
themselves, and were ready to
start practice.
Practice started two weeks before
the begining of school and with the
combination of hard work and talent,
the team came out much stronger
than ex pected .
With Ms .

think of winning ," the team came in
third in the regular season and had
a surprising but jubilant second
place in the BRC tournament.

�"Okay, guys, just one more
half mile, and we are done." To
the cross country team these
words were like a jog in the
park.
Dr. Palmieri yelled out his famous,
"This is your lap," and a runner felt
excrutiating pain for the next quarter
mile during another strenuous track
workout. Inside his head, he was
thinking, "Why me?" Then he came
out of his daze when the word "GO!"
was screamed. He blasted away,
trying to make his legs go a little
faster just to try to stay ahead of Mr.
Dickenson, whom everybody knows
was not trying his hardest.
A track workout could have been a
runner's worst nightmare, or a short
4.4 mile run up Twelve O'clock Knob.
Ask any team member, the most
grueling of all the practices came in
preparation for the VIC championship
where some dry-heaved and suffered
so much from practice that they
"feared they wou ld not live through
it." The two driven coaches pushed
every member to excellence, but it
did not come easy.

One of the two seniors in the group, Matt
Ottaway led the team with first place all year.
As co-captain, he was determined to set a
good example and show the young team how
to run.

In order to help the team at the VIC Tournament,
Aaron Hodgin pushed to the finish line to
become the third place runner for the team.
His stamina, good attitude, and spirit led him
to receive the Coach's award.
Already dressed out
and waiting for the
start of this race,
Roland Oelschlager,
Chris Stoeckle, and
John Prillaman
absorbed the coach's
pre-game advice.
Their listening
obviously paid off
because the team
came in first place,
winning a close game
against Catholic and
defeating Roanoke
Valley Christian
School by thirteen
points.

�We knew that we had the
championship in the gab with
the score 3 to 1.
We were tied fo r the VIC championship with
Carlisle School for the second year in a row, but
this year we were not going to settle for a tie.
We wanted the victory all to ourselves. Our
varsity players arrived on the field at Carlisle
pumped and ready to play. The game started
and Helene Jennings added one more to her
great career total of 30 goals scored in her five
years on the team, scored early in the first
quarter. Our opponents put in a shot at the
buzzer tying the score at the end of the first half.

Getting warmed up for the Stuart Hall game, defensive
player Brandy Markell practices her drives. The
team's winning season was due not only to the
offensive goals, but also to the strong driving power
of the defense.

To save the ball, senior Jackie Loeb jumped to
prevent a score from a penalty shot by a Chatham
Hall player. Defending against penalty strokes is
one of many skills that Jackie had to practice daily in
preparation for evel)l game, but luckily that was the
only penalty stroke taken during the season.

Our team rested and indulged in orange slices
and grapes while Coach Anne Jennings and
the teams new assistant Coach Allison Peary,
advised the team on a winning play for the next
quarter. We were ready once again with our
morale lifted to score to pull off the victory.
Foreword Janis Kennedy scored on a break
away early in the second half to pull the Lady
Raiders ahead only to be followed by a third
and final goal to be scored by Sophomore
Laura Palmer.

"We knew that we had th e championship in the

Lobe. Team Captain and Goalie Jackie Lobe
was ecstatic to win her last game at Carlisle,
not only because the VIC championship was at
stake but because it was on the same field that
she had played in goal for the final time 5 years

�The team pulled out a close
victory with the now lucky
score of 18-16.
For the team the tournament seemed to
be the most invigorating and challenging
part of the season. Coached by Holly
Moore and Gaylyn Moore, the team went
into the tournament fourth in their
conference. The first round of the
tournament was on a Thursday against
Roanoke Catholic , an opponent to which
they had lost to twice before in their
regular season. The match went three
games, but never did the team lose hope.
After a short time out in the third game,
the team was psyched up, which was
evident in their 18 to 16 win. After
defeating Catholic in the first round of the
tournament, the team traveled to
Randolph Macon's Woman's College on
that Saturday for the remainder of the
tournament. North Cross went up against
the number one ranked team ,
Timbe rlake, in the first match. Once
again the match was three games after
losing the first and winning the second.
The team pulled out a close victory by the
now lucky score of 18-16. Overall, the
team came out of the tournament in third
place with Melissa Blythe and Kathryn
Anthony making the All Tournament
Team.

Melissa Blythe gently tipped the ball over the net during
a match against Seven Hills. This tip resulted in a score
and contributed to a well earned victory. Well executed
plays like this enabled a two game sweep.

With her arms stretched out to pass the ball, Kathryn
Anthony shot a free ball over the net. Her great offensive
skills helped the team to finish third in the tournament.
Kathryn and Melissa Blythe came out for the tournament
with All Tournament Team certificates awarded due to
their exceptional playing.

previous demanding plays. The coaches also tried to
refill their egos with positive points and constructive
criticism to improve their playing.

�Megan Aldrich said,"/ remember
most the je/1-o slucking, male
instructors, and chocolate milk."
The cheerleaders were high spirited
and ready to go after surviving one
session of Universal Cheerleading
Association's cheerleading camp.
During the summer, Nicole Hall, Ashley
Bell, Kara Stecker, Meredith Thomson ,
Christy Balthis, Jen Frye, Megan Aldrich ,
Holly Watkins , Ericka Young , and the
new cheerleading sponsor, Janet
France, went to Virginia Tech to polish
and acquire new, exciting, crowdpleasing cheers and stunts.

Set in their positions, seven of the basketball
cheerleaders built a mini-pyramid.
The
cheerleaders experimented with many different
types ofstunts ranging from throwing one another
high into the air to stunts like this one.
At cheerleading camp, Megan Aldrich, Meredith
Thomson , and Holly Watkins waited for their turn
to perform their new cheers and stunts at the final
competition. The Raiders were awarded the
most improved squad at the end of this
competition.

Lifting Nicole Hall into a
high split, Missy Blum,
Erica Young, Holly
Watkins, Jen Frye,
Megan Aldrich, Christy
Balthis, Meredith
Thomson, and Kara
Stecker formed one of
their infamous
pyramids. This squad
tried many new
halftime routines this
year including a dance
to "Let's Go Crazy".

V-1-C-T-0-R- Y" chanted the cheerleaders at a
home football game. This squad stuck together
throughout both the football and basketball
seasons.

Every morning for five days the girls got
up around seven to begin cheer class ,
chant class, and stunt class. At twelve
thirty everyone filed over for a Hokie
cafeteria lunch, and a much needed
rest. At two o'clock everyone marched
back to the gym for more classes until
six o'clock, when dinner was served.
After one more VPI entree, evaluation
took place. The Raiders always cheered
well and were eventually awarded a
spirit stick.
The new cheers, stunts, and dances
learned at camp helped this squad to
lead th e school in spirit throughout the
year.

�Everyone noticed the 6'6" junior
and prayed before asking,
"Does he play basketball?"
Early in January the Raiders
received a late Christmas
present. Mike Bryan , a 6 foot 6
center, transferred from Cave
Spring High School and sparked
the Raiders' offense. The day
Mike visited the campus, the
common question asked was,
"Does he play basketball?" Mike
was faced with making a tough
decision about leaving a triple-A
public school and moving to a
small private school. The choice
was made and Mike joined the
Raiders in Lynchburg to face Holy
Cross. Mike provided instant
offense from the bench. Assistant
Coach Tim Rogers said, "Mike is
just what we needed. He's big
and works well in the paint."
Mike's biggest contribution was
a free-throw with no time left on
th e clock to defeat LCA by a
score of 64-63. Only a Junior,
Mike will return to lead the Raiders
to what should be their best
season since the 1988 team.

From the line, Jesse Webster concentrates on his
shot. Jesse is only a junior and will be a vital
member of next year's team.
On the floor, Tyler Pugh fights for the possession
of the ball. The Raiders finished the season
strongly and hoped to do well in the VIC
tournament.

With lounge in cheek,
Stewart Baucom
catches some hang
time on the way to the
hoop. Stewart was
magic when it came to
last minute shots,in one
game he swished a
eighty foot heave at the
buzzer.

Of all the possible roles which require
great responsibility, that of teacher or
coach must be the hardest. Teachers
and coaches are expected to set good
examples and become a beneficial role
model in the eyes of the student.
Although this is not the easiestJhing to
do, Mr. Calvert has mastered it after
already many years of success. The
interim director of the Middle School,
Mr. Calvert has always given his
students and his team his unyielding
devotion. In return his young basketball
players respect and believe in him as a

�Allison Perry made her grand
entrance the first day of
practice and was introduced
as assistant coach.
On the rebound once again, the girls varsity
basketball team came together in
November ready to rebuild and put
together a new team. This year the team
was fortunate enough to receive all but
two of·last years players plus four ninth
graders, all experienced J.V. players. In
addition to the eleven teammates and Ms.
Satterwhite, the girls' team was joined by
yet another person experienced in
basketball. Recruited by Mr. Dougherty,
Allison Perry made her grand entrance
the first day of practice and was introduced
as assistant coach.
All ison , a recent graduate of Brown
University, came into the court psyched
and ready to give the team her tips on
basketball from when she played in high
school. From the exhausting early
November practices to the final rounds of
the closing tournament, Allison was always
there w ith a smile on her face and
encouragement to help the team through
the battles .
Allison proved that winning is not
everything. Whether standing on the
sidelines with a whistle in her mouth,
acting as a referee or coaching along side
of Ms. Satterwhite during the winter games,
Allison always proved to be a great asset
to the team.

Gaining control over the ball, Brandy Markell
sprints down the court for a fast break. A new
student last year, Brandy was a great contribution
to every team on which she played.

With a lay-up, senior Kelly Baetz led the team
with her dedication to the sport. Brandy Markell
and Becky McDaniel prepared for the next shot
and their teamwork led them through a great
season.

Trying to break out

�The team was young, but they
still had a great season.
Defense was a big factor in this year's
girls J.V. basketball team. The team
was young with only one freshman,
eight eighth graders, and four seventh

At the start ofa game, Lisa Baetz prepared to take

With eyes focused on the basket, Tiffany Jackson

Along with good defense comes the
term "fou l". Each player may receive
up to five fouls and then is literally
fouled out of the game. The starting
line-up proved to be good at this, as
they exhibited in their game against
Timberlake. In the first quarter both
Kathryn Anthony and Emily Kennedy
had two fouls each. By the middle of
the second quarter , Tiffany Jackson,
Emily Kennedy, and Mary Jennings
were all asking coach Gaylyn Moore
to be taken out of the game so they
would be able to play the second half.
After half-time, they returned to the
court and played a hard second half,
full of physical defense, and team
fouls. As it ended, by the fourth
quarter, Mary Jennings, Kathryn
Anthony, Tiffany Jackson , and Emily
Kennedy had all fou led out of the
game, leaving it up to the second
string to pull through to victory.

The Superbowl party was one of
the highlights of the swim team's
season.
On Saturday 26,1992, the swim
team gathered at Chris Hancock's
house for Super Bowl XXVI. The
majority of the swimmers were for
the Redskins. After the scores were
placed in a one dollar bet, team
members dove for the chips and
dip. After devouring all the pretzels
and miniature hot dogs, the
members went upstairs for barbecue
sandwiches.
Most people got up during the
commercials, but notthe swim team.
They were looking forward to seeing
what really happened when the
farmer went off the road and hit the
Pepsi sign. After dragging the plot
through consecutive commercial
breaks, the swimmers were
disappointed with the outcome of
the new slogan -- "Gotta Have It".
The best commercial turned out to
be Bugs Bunny with "Hare Jordan"
and Michael Jordan. The swim team
enjoyed the Super Bowl, but that
was only one of the highlights of the
season.

At the Randolph Macon swim meet, Edwin Wilson
could not keep a grin off his face after a fabulous
win. This was one of the many victories that the
boy's swim team accomplished in the course of
the season.

In the middle of giving his team a pep talk, Coach
Jonathan Schloss motivates his swimmers on
toward victory. Mr. Schloss has developed the
swim team into one of the Raider's most succesful
sports.

Swimming the SO
butterfly, Stephanie
Lundy pushes to finish
her final lap. Having
been a member of the
Gators swim team,
Stephanie's experience
helped the younger
members of the team
and also helped lead
the team to a first place
in the tournament.

Absorbed in their teammates performance,

in anticipation. This team hadgreat improvement
and Mr. Dickinson has great hopes for the future.

Hoping for a pin, Trey
Mangus sinks in a
move deep to drive
over a tough
opponent. Trey
enjoyed a great
season wrestling at the
weight of 112 and 119
all year.

Among the various exercises inflicted
upon team members are "Pain, Torture ,
and Agony" and the infamous "Circle
Jerk. " Pain , Torture , and Agony ,
consists of Leg Burners, wheelbarrow
push-ups, and referee's back to back
free wrestling. Leg Burners are when
you stand back to back with a partner
and lower down to a position where you
are sitting but without a chair underneath
you. Wheelbarrow push-ups are when
you hold your partners' legs and do
push-ups. Referee's back to back free
wrestling is when one person gets on
their hands and knees while the other
person lies on the man's back, then
wrestles. Circle Jerk consists of the
team getting in a circle and one by one
running and hopping over each other.
After going over people, the team
members get into push-up position and
one by one they crawl under each other.
After crawling, they do fifteen push-ups.
Even though these two drills are grueling
and torturous, some look forward to the
practices. New moves, drills, and
exercises are what makes the threeyear old team win.

�Towns e laza, Tower's Mall, Picadilly
Square, and Cave Spring Corners among
many other shopping centers were assigned to
each member ojthe yearbook staff at the end
ofthe summer. In the hot August weather the
yearhonk staff- began the difficult task of
selling ads.Ihis task seemed to be harder than
ever this year due to the way the economy
throu hout the United States has been.
After pulling into car dealership after car
dealership alon 'Franklin Road, responses
such as, "The recession has hit our business
hard so we are not going to be able to spend
extra money advertising this year" and
"Sorry, we can not afford to buy anything this
year'', began to sound like broken records.
Unfortunately during a time of recession the
first thing in many businesses to go is their
advertising, and this did not make the
yearbook--staff's job an easy one.
Although things did not look good, the
yearbook staff 1iefused to give up. By
dedicating many Saturdays to visiting
businesses in person, sending out letters, as
well as making telephone calls, the yearbook
staff was able to achieve their goal. In fact,
they didJJot just sifnply reach their goal, but
they raised more money than they had
planned to;. Despite the economic conditions
in which they were forced to operate, $9,000
was raised this year, surpassing the school's
record, which was raised last year. The
quality, color, grafthics, and large amount of
pages that appear in this yearbook are all a
result of these dedicated staff members and
allowed this yearbook to stand out in the deck!

"This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever, these are the
days to hold on to cause we won't although we'll want to. This is the time,
the time is going to change. "

That's why they look to Hall Associates for their real
estate needs. Check our references: AT&amp;T, General
Electric, Fbrd Motor Company, McGraw Hill Hewlett
Packard, Equitable Insurance, Merrill Lynch, Eastman Kodak, Prudential Insurance, and the list goes
on. Credibility in the marketplace. That's what they
looked for in the Roanoke Valley. That's what they
found at Hall Associates.

Congratulations
To the Class of 1992
You have watched the Berlin Wall dismantled a piece at a time and read about the spread of radiation from Chemobyl;
watched Americans again fight on foreign soil and listened to the debate over the ozone layer. You have seen the
Challenger burst into flames, and seen first hand the destruction of the San Francisco earthquake.
Experts say we now process more information with our morning coffee than o ur forebears dealt with their entire lives
You are a generation with global involvement like never before. You will be solvin g the budget and trade deficits, the
energy shortages, and feeding an ever increasing world population. You will inherit a world not on ly o f problems, but
with remarkable challenges and opportunities.
As you continue your education beyond North Cross, do so with the understanding that how you conduct yourself will
reflect on your school and those who will follow you. You only have one chance to do them and yourselves proud. Just

From the progeny of
Oncology and Hematology Associates
of Southwest Virginia, Inc.

�We in schools seldom turn to card sharks for
advice, but given the theme of the 1992 Compass, we would be wise to do so. For indeed,
when he is down on his luck or when circumstances mount against him, the savvy card
player has the best advice: play with the hand
you're dealL..Don't cnmplain about fortune
dealing you a bad hand, but make the most of
what you have.
It is convenient at times for us to impute to luck
or fortune whatever happens to us, good or
bad. Even when we enjoy good fortune, of
which we ourselves are author, we may shrug it
off as "luck" and assume no responsibility for
repeating it; and, so of co use, if we are victims
of bad fortune, we can blame "luck" again, as
if skill, hard work, or ability do not avail.

showing

Luck. It is a convenient explanation or excuse.
After the 1988 World Series, for example, Los
Angeles Dodger pitcher Orel H ershiser, who
performed brilliantly in leading his team to a
championship, was accosted by a rival fan who
yelled out to him in the hallway under the
Oakland Coliseum, "You were lucky, Hershiser." Orel didn't look around, but he heard
the line and answered it perfectly, mostly to
himself: "Oh, yea? Grab a bat." See what luck
can do then!
Even the baseball "gambler" knows that skill,
hard work, and ability- not luck -prepare
you to "play with the hand you're dealt." And
you, members of the North Cross Class of
1992, have been dealt a very good hand indeed,
opportunity aplenty (o lead a full, rich life.
Have a great one!

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Manuscript Collection is a collection filled with the many manuscript pages and stories created by David A. Ramey.  His expressive and energetic storytelling is largely related to his life and the intertwined history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His writings are completed completely from memory. Not only are Mr. Ramey's writings immersive and detailed, but they also serve as a distinct and clear marker of what life was like in Gainsboro and North East pre-Urban Renewal. &#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Manuscript Collection is a collection filled with the many manuscript pages and stories created by David A. Ramey.  His expressive and energetic storytelling is largely related to his life and the intertwined history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His writings are completed completely from memory. Not only are Mr. Ramey's writings immersive and detailed, but they also serve as a distinct and clear marker of what life was like in Gainsboro and North East pre-Urban Renewal. &#13;

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>

                  <text>This collection consists of audio, photographs, and a digitized program from the dedication of the Virginia Y. Lee Collection at the Gainsboro Branch Library on 26 September 1982.&#13;
&#13;
The collection was dedicated to Virginia Y. Lee due to her significant contributions as the fourth librarian of the Gainsboro Branch. A significant portion of the collection contains materials she collected, and it even contains materials that she hid in the basement.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection still resides at the Gainsboro Branch Library, and it is continuously added to under the guidance of library staff. The Collection is the largest collection of Black studies books in Southwest Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Y. Lee Collection reflects the historical, political, cultural, and economic experience of people of African ancestry living in the United States, with special emphasis on the history of Virginia and, in particular, the Roanoke Valley. Materials of exceptional rarity, provenance, or scholarly value, including but not limited to pre-1975 imprints, limited print runs, signed copies, and first editions receive prioritized consideration for inclusion in the special collection.&#13;
&#13;
Photographs are housed in Gainsboro Photography Collection.</text>
