Rappahannock County High School could use a booster club. In these times of penny pinching inflation, the school board can’t possibly take care of all school needs, even if it were inclined to do so. And there are priorities which rank much higher than support of high school athletics and extra-curricular activities.
Other counties fill these important but non-academic holes with a little tagging from volunteer booster clubs.
Last week, RCHS halls echoed with spontaneous applause from the cheerleaders when they learned that they would be allowed to ride the team bus to away sports contests. Their transportation to basketball, at least, had been jeopardized by crowded conditions which left coaches and high school administrators in a quandry. They didn’t want the athletes who were going to represent RCHS through long minutes of exhausting exercise on the ' court worn out before the opening buzzer by a cramped bus ride with three to a seat. Neither did they want the cheerleaders, those hardworking purveyors of school spirit, left at home, most of them without a driver’s license or car, and so unable to provide their own transportation. Their other alternative was to alternate between the jayvee and varsity squads, taking each to every other away contest.
