In this year, 1975, the RUFFNER ROCK represents the fifth year of existence of Wi l liam Ruffner Jr. High School . Within these five years many good changes have been made.

Ruffner was named for Dr. William H. Ruffner the first State Superin­tendent of Public Instruction in Virginia. Also, Dr. Ruffner was a chap Iain, pastor, and profession al geologist.

It was from his last two vocations that the names "Saints" and RUF­FNER ROCK were derived.

MRS. LUANA 0. CRUSH

Again, this year we had a difficult decision to make about to whom we should dedicate this yearbook. But as usual, we came up with an outstanding per­son, one whose smi l e shines brighter than the bright­est star.

This teacher is cheerful, friendly and thoughtful. She has a strong sense of responsibility with regard to her students and their understanding of the as­signed material. It is apparent to her students that a great deal of ti me and effort has gone toward providing interesting classes for them .

Though her experiments sometimes fai I, she never "hangs it up," but she always tries again, usually meeting with success.

Because of her concern over and above the line of duty, we, the yearbook staff, would Ii ke to show our gratitude by dedicati ng the 1975 RUFFNER ROCK to Mrs. Luana O. Crush.
