Bad Weather Fails To Halt Falcons Excitement, tension, and rainy weather might describe the 1971 football season at Abingdon High School. It is the second year for the present coaching staff and much improvement has been shown both in player performance and the won- loss column. After a disastrous open¬ ing game against State AA champ¬ ions Gate City, a game in which se¬ nior safety man Skip Ramsey is lost for the season with a broken leg, follows a one point loss to Patrick Henry, Co -District champions. The Falcons continue to improve with each game and they end with a 6-4 record, the first winning season for football at A.H.S. since 1963. r t 1 -• L V' T . ... rs , 18 1.

As Edited By: Paige Southerlin As Assisted By: Beula Price 53 First Aid Proves Menacing To Victims One of the best- liked subjects at A. H. S. is physical education. Familiar cries such as All right, boys, take three laps around the gym, or Go take a shower and get dressed are often heard resounding through the gym. Our gym has a variety of equipment which includes archery, table tennis, golf, and shuffleboard. The classroom part of physical education is also very interesting. Eighth graders study health in general, while ninth graders study many life-saving tips. They learn to give artifical respiration and to treat burns, bleeding, and broken bones . Tenth graders meet the trials of driver’s training, learners' permits and finally, licenses. We all know that physical education is hard work, but it is an experience we will all remember. 1. Margie Pinkerton demonstrates the wolf flank. 2. Martha Whiteaker displays a headstand. 3. Earl Cunningham, Stephen James, and Vaughan Gardner show the correct procedure in applying an arm sling and head bandage. 4. Ernie Kessee de¬ monstrates a well-known part of physical education. 5. Phil Smith serves the ball in a game of volleyball. 6. Beth Hughes returns a table tennis serve. 7. Wayne Holliday jumps for the volleyball. 8. Faye Pope shows good form in doing the Bambi on the parallel bars. :V - Dramatics Plays A Special Part In English Essays, term papers, poetry, and dra¬ ma make up the world of English at A.H.S. There are also a few lessons of grammar scattered here and there, much to the dislike of many students, to improve our methods of communication. During out literature study, some of us study Shakespearean drama while others study American drama. Speech and dra¬ ma class plays an important part in English as it gives experience in public speaking and performing before a group, as shown by the One -Act play. A spe¬ cial type of English is the Humanities class which studies a variety of subjects such as music, art, religion, litera¬ ture, and drama. All of these things make English truly an experience. 1. Seniors Paula Dunn and Helen Hilton work on their term papers. 2. Donnie Nixon, Libby Price, and David Loving sing during the Humanities Assem¬ bly. 3. These eighth grade students take part in an everyday English schedule. 56 1. Speech and drama class provides a unique opportu¬ nity for students as Robby Weisfeld and Pat Price are in the One-Act play. 2. Jay Lloyd reads in the forensics contest. 3. Mary K. Grant and Robby Weisfeld show the dramatic side of English in the Senior play. Dedication Brings Much Success To The Arts Flutes, you are all flat! This is only one of the statements often heard in band, one of the arts offered at A. H. S. Band students work long hours to perfect their musicianship. Chorus and art classes are our other fine arts. Art students are taught many crafts and skills. Chorus students have a chance to demonstrate their singing ability. These students' hard work is rewarded by many accomplishments. 1. Bob Legard sings along in chorus. 2. Robby Weis- feld completes a painting in art. 3. Patty Elliott, Bob King, and Cindy Flee- nor practice in chorus. 4. The band marches in the Burley Tobacco Festival. 5. Charlie Smith and Dr. Castellanos discuss a point. 6. A French class sees slides made in France. 7. Joan James listens in a. Spanish I class . 8 . Mrs . Moore explains an impor¬ tant question in French. Foreign Languages Become Unique Bonjour, Mademoiselle. Comment allez vous? or Buenas dias, senor. Como esta listed?” are phrases often heard by students taking French or Spanish, the only foreign languages offered at A.H.S. French students are allowed the opportun ity of going to France for continued study. There are three levels of French and Spanish offered at A.H.S. These students experience the privilege of having a native Spanish speaking teacher. All students agree that foreign languages can be reward¬ ing experience. 59 Ecology Brings Awareness Of Our Environment .«Sh ESpPfil mam j 6 , %rjg| f?

A new type of science is introduced to our school as ecology becomes a favorite class for many students. The ecology class devel¬ ops a nature trail and devotes much time to the school glass clean-up. Physics and chemistry prove to be difficult subjects as well as a challenging ones. The old say¬ ing, There’s a first time for everything proves to be true as many sophomores battle the ordeal of dissection in biology.

It’s Money Money Everywhere; Not A Cent To Spend Juniors Accomplishment! Doesn’t it taste sweet? Now we're upper¬ classmen with more respect and more responsibilities than ever before. We're even raising enough money to present to the Seniors the best Junior- Senior Prom in the history of A.H.S. We're having bake sales and selling Stuckey's Pecan Log Rolls and magazines and even having sock hops. Making the plans for such a big dance can be a trying experience, expecially since we've never done anything like this before. But do you want to know something? It isn't really that hard, and we're having a good time growing up in the process.

We're playing varsity bas¬ ketball, in the Civenettes, taking P. ScA.T. and Sc A. T., perform¬ ing in talent shows and planning a dance . Studying is a part of our everyday existence, and we’ re studying twice as hard due to chemistry and algebra II classes. But, between studying we usually find time for a date with that cer¬ tain special person. We go to ballgames, movies, and dances. We even take time out of our busy lives to order our senior rings. All of these things make our Jun¬ ior year very special. Patty Phillips Danny Pierce George Pope Larry Powers B. Susan Price Carolyn Price Susan E.

We're not quite upperclassmen yet, but we still don't think of ourselves as underclassmen. This is a good time of our lives though. We have many new ex¬ periences, such as learning how to park and memorizing all of those speed limits to get that all-important driver's license. We are becoming a part of var¬ sity sports and cheerleading and club membership is suddenly more important to us. Life, even in the middle, seems to be great at A. H. S.

We're no longer plagued by the title of punks, because we have acquired a more sophisticated name. Along with our new name, we have a new outlook on life. Maturity has replaced our child¬ ish whims with orderly discussions and adult behavior. Our thoughts turn more and more toward romance in¬ stead of education. We have now reached that age when dances and ball games mean more than just so¬ cial events . Spirit runs high with Freshmen.

Hello there, fellow fresh¬ man! This sound rings through the halls of A. H. S. now that we're just that! Now it's our turn to scream the hated word Punk! We've got a choice in subjects now, too. Shall we take biology, ecology, French, or Span¬ ish? If we do take them can we pass them? Of course- -We' 11 just study harder and not think of the opposite sex so much. . . (maybe?)!

Finding the right classroom in six minutes flat, trying to open our lockers with¬ out a sledge hammer, and deciding which stairway is the safest to go up are all a part of this new world.

H. S. soon loses its newness as we begin to take part in school activities. Our first class meeting is called and our officers are elected. We become involved in sports, cheerleading, and the band. We join clubs and begin to have the responsibilities of making bulletin boards and baking food for bake sales. New experiences for us are the pep rallies, sock hops, and dances. Our beginning at A. H. S. is a good year. Eighth Grade class officers are: G. Gregory, Sec. ; B. Thomas, Treas. ; R. Price, Pres.; and Z. Fugate, V. Pres.

The lovely sweethearts of the dance, the Valentine court, are Sally Hill, Donna Maiden, Sandra Poe, Donna Shortt, Queen Donna Kiser, Kris Kreger, Alice Morgan, and Margie Pinkerton. Paper hearts give the Valentine feeling and cou¬ ples find that Love is a many splendored thing as they dance through the night. 172 Through The Magical Looking Glass And Beyond Spring Formal Through the looking glass” and into the world of the Madhatter and the March Hare is the setting of our Spring Formal. The dance floor is divided from the couples’ ta¬ bles by a paper curtain. A looking glass at the end of the room sets the romantic feeling.

The magic of the night turns the drab gym into a Paris street and the couples dance in a world of fantasy dreams. But even as they dance, everyone knows that the night is all just an illusion, one to be bro¬ ken by the day. This realization makes everyone seek to live every minute, for they sense the fact that they have few to waste. The magic and mystery does indeed disappear with the dawn and all that is left of Paris, the dreams, the laughter, and the music are the piles of torn crepe paper, the memories, and the silent echoes in an empty gym. We the Editors of the 1972 Beacon would like to apologize to the students of A.H.S. for the lack of Jr. -Sr. Prom pic¬ tures. The ones taken were accidently destroyed by the company which photo¬ graphed the dance. Thus we have chosen to show a part of the Prom that is rarely seen or thought about by the majority of the people who enjoy the dance-the hours of planning and decorating and cleaning up. Few realize all the hard work that goes into planning the Prom and decorating it to perfection in order to create an illusion for the night. Nor do they realize the disillusionment that those who must clean up feel. For they see the gym as it really is without the magic of the night and for them dreams are broken and the illusions become clear. Therefore we take these pages to show the dance before and after and to thank all those who helped to make the 1972 Jr. - Sr. Prom one of the most beautiful that Abing¬ don has ever had. Thank you.

This is heard many times as the seniors begin practice for their graduation. The night arrives with the flurry of putting on caps and gowns and making sure that the tassel stays on. Everyone tries to get in his place in line and to be ready for the walk down the aisle. As we start to take our place with our classmates we have a moment of silent apprehension. Graduation becomes more than just a ceremony. It is the end of our high school life.

After the graduation service we realize that there is a new life that we face. Many of us will continue our edu¬ cation while others will begin jobs. Our class will become separated with time and we will forever lose our unity as a group. There is sad¬ ness in the graduation but happiness, too, in knowing that we will always share the memories of the class of 1972. t Free To Support As Edited By: Floyd Singleton As Assisted By: Melba Mink Blevins DUNN’S PHARMACY Johnston Memorial Clinic Building Phone 628-7138 Abingdon, Virginia Call for Reservation Cjreenway J aven Party J l ouse MRS.
