It has been a year f or developing new friendship, ac- quiring new skills, having new experiences, and sharing new thoughts. It has also been the year for decision and pre paration, competition and participation, contribu tion and contemplation. 4 As this school term opened, confusion existed every- where — " Who is Mrs. Carter ! 5 Oh, it ' s " K " Karter! " These were common sayings heard about the halls of Alleghany as the students and faculty first met. Then as the year began to proceed, the saying changed to " I ' m so confused I don ' t even know what he ' s talking about! " Not only was confusion expressed concerning the courses, but also the location of various parts of the building; confused eighth graders were " assisted " by equally confused upper classmen. Even the faculty at times appeared somewhat befuddled as they faced the changing sea of faces each class period. Everyone has met with confusion this year, and it has become a part of our memories of our first year together. Choosing the institution in which to further one ' s acade- mic interests and abilities proves to be a real decision for Kerry Ellinger and other A.C.H.S. seniors. . . . TO BE CONFUSED . . . As the school year opens, our students denote an air of confusion as they patiently wait for schedules and classes to be revised. Seated, I. to r.: Skip Taylor, Dottie Kimberlin, Harry Hudnali, Nancy Lou Nicely, John Petty, Linda Shelton. Standjng, I. to r.: Brenda Carpenter, Pete Davis. This was the year of selecting and deciding. One of the first decisions was faced by the seniors in choosing graduation announcements. After looking at various styles and talking with many representa- tives, the class of 1964 chose the first announce- ment for A.C.H.S. — one portraying simplicity and dignity. . . . TO ORIGINATE . . . Also, among the major decisions to be made this year was that of selecting a title for the yearbook The staff asked each member to submit a title, the winner to be announced with the arrival of the an- nual Taking the first two letters of the three words Alleghany County, Virginia, Linda and Carolyn Shel- ton presented the title ALCOVA. Since our school functions to meet the demands of the entire county, the staff felt that this was the most appropriate title submitted. Our congratulations and thanks, Linda and Carolyn, on your originality. 6 L. to R.: Linda Shelton, Carolyn Shelton. This was the year of sports events and vic- tories. Yet a third decision was necessary, that of choosing a mascot for the mighty team. Be- cause of their professional appearance on the field, the nickname, Colts, was selected by the student body. The nickname together with the school colors — red, white, and blue — combine to formulate an image, that of might and spirit. Larry Hayslett rides our mascot, the Colt, at our first football game. . . . TO EXPLAIN Always eagerly awaited and anticipated is the arrival of class rings. This year representatives from each class met to choose the traditional A.C.H.S. class ring. The ring chosen consisted of an oval stone in either red or blue surrounded by the words 1 Alleghany County High School. On the left side is the Commonwealth seal and motto " Sic Semper Tyrannis " meaning " Thus Always to Tyrants " ; and on the right is the school shield depicting the torch and open book for learning, the quill and scroll depicting study, the lyre portraying the love of the arts and the rocket emblem symbolizing the Space Age. The shield was topped by the mascot and the school motto, " Loyalty and Honesty. " Thus, the ring shows not only a loyalty to the state of Virginia but depicts the goals and ideals of this first year at A.C. H.S. Seated, I. to r.: Jedy Sartain, Joyce Loan, Harry Hudnall, Sandra Dressier, John Stinnett. Standing, I. to r.: Cindy Waltin, Jean Fleshman, Jean Carson, Patti Armentrout, Wendell Al- fred, John Hall, Gary Frye, Bonnie Hayth, Becky Anderson, Linda Howard. TO PREPARE Through these doors step tomorrow ' s leaders. No- where else are our lives so imprinted and so formu- lated as they are during our high school days; for it is 1 here at Alleghany that we come as insecure and uncertain eighth graders, hopeful to develop into successful, mature graduates. We must be pre- pared to meet the awesome challenges and burden- some responsibilities of the Space Age in order to make this world of crises, despair and anxiety a world of peace, progress and hope. It is our school, Alleghany County High School, that provides us with the opportunities necessary to prepare us in those areas which are vital to our development. Those endless hours of note-taking and lecture only to be followed by seeming eons of reading and research in the library and at home . . . the victories and losses of sports events . . . the beauty and excitement of a formal dance . . . the quiet and soul-searching hours of discovering ourselves are all a part of our high school preparation. This molding of mind and character must be achieved, for it is from these halls and through these doors that tomorrow ' s hope will walk — today ' s answer to tomorrow ' s challenge. The lunch table is a popular meeting place for our students. Words of truth and fiction, farce and seriousness travel along the tables. . . . TO SNATCH A LEISURE MOMENT " Time Out " is a meaningful phrase to Alleghany stu- dents whether it be a break during a thrilling athletic contest or simply a pause during a busy school day. To some A.C.H.S. students, the new cafeteria provides an op- portunity for relaxation and the meeting of friends for an appetizing lunch; to others, leisure means " Time Out " to meet one ' s ' special ' person for a few moments before rush- ing off to another class. Yet another student enjoys the peace and quiet of being alone after the school day has ended to reflect upon the day ' s events and activities. Thus, A.C.H.S. seeks to develop the whole person — the body beau- tiful, the mind inquisitive and alert, and the personality friendly, not only through the classroom experiences but through leisure activities as well. To Millie Patterson and Buddy Hobbs, feel- ings are more effectively expressed through a look than through words. Waiting for the three o ' clock bell provides hall moni- tor Cherie Davis moments for quiet reflection. 9 TO GROW INTELLECTUALLY Our thirst for knowledge pushing us ( we come today . . . making our way in cars, buses, or afoot . . . eagerly awaiting the ring of a bell the beginning of our search for wisdom. Yet not only through classes and books, re- search papers and p rojects, do we acquire com- plete wisdom. It is in our clubs and organiza- tions that we are provided with an experience unobtainable through studies. It is in this fellow- ship that we share the moment of youth to- gether. We come to grow intellectually, knowing that too soon we must go, leaving behind the care- free days, and passing on the greater knowl- edge. Nancy Lou Nicely has learned that study and research comprise an integral part of one ' s intellectual growth. Doyet Moore, Tom Nichols, and Sue Smith know that the laboratory experience provides o basis for broadening one ' s knowledge of chemistry. ... TO DREAM. cial memories . . . the excitement pervading Home- coming . . . the anticipation of the Prom . . . the anxiety of classes . . . and we look to the future with bright eagerness . . . the end of our high school career is but the beginning of the fulfillment of our dreams. Graduation . . . our final goal. As the strains of Pomp and Circumstance resound throughout the air, seniors march slowly forward to bid our Alma Mater farewell. A cap, a gown, and a roll of parchment represent only outward symbols of unique experi- ences at A.C.H.S. Proudly we stand on the threshold of a new life and in retrospect we relive those spe- WE DEDICATE Mr. Hodnett ' s many tasks include receiving reports from the State Department of Education and determining their effect on Alleghany County Schools. • • • At the end of a busy day, Mr. Hodnett leaves his office although his work never ceases. The ALCOVA staff and the students of Alleghany County High School proudly dedicate this, the first edition of the ALCOVA, to Mr. Walter Lee Hodnett, Superintendent of the Alleghany County School sys- tem. Mr. Hodnett has served in his present capacity since 1958. Without this man ' s hard work, the dream of this new school might never have been realized. Some of us have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Hodnett personally while others are only acquainted with the fact that he is our school su- perintendent. Nevertheless, he feels a personal kin- ship to all phases of the educational system and has our best interests at heart. A high ranking scholar himself, he was the vale- dictorian of the first graduating class at Spring Garden High School near Chatham, Virginia. Mr. Hodnett went on from there to receive his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education from the University of Virginia and his Master of Education Degree from the College of William and Mary. Since then, he has worked tirelessly in the educational field. In his present job he has given unselfishly of his time so that this county might have a superior school system. Mr. Hodnett is a man not only of action but also of foresight. As he guides the workings of the schools in Alleghany County, he is thinking not only of the present situation but also of the future. We are deeply grateful for all that Mr. Walter Hodnett has done that Alleghany County might have the finest educational system possible. 12 MR. WALTER L. HODNETT SUPERINTENDENT OF ALLEGHANY COUNTY SCHOOLS 13 Wisdom will repudiate thee, if those think to enquire.

STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE The Student Co-operative Association is one of the most important organizations in any school as its main function is to provide learning experiences for students. Its principal contribution to learning is the development of good citizen- ship. The SCA provides a forum for student expression and assists in solving problems that arise in the school. With these combined responsibilities the SCA is the governing body of a high school. Throughout the year, our SCA has sponsored worthwhile school projects. Among these were the formulation of a school constitution, the donation of an American flag for the school auditorium, and the sponsorship of an alma mater contest. All in all, our Student Co-operative Association is to be commended for their effective governing of the student body in its first year. Harry G. Hudnall, Jr., president of the first Stu- dent Council at ACHS. 98 First row, I. to r.: Ann Lacy, Jimmy Nuckols, Cheryl Howard, Jedy Sartain.

Many long hours of hard work went into the publication of each issue, which was distributed every two weeks. The Christmas issue with its first page in red, the April Fool ' s edition, and the final issue dedicated to the graduating class are but a few of the outstanding editions of the newspaper. THE PATRIOT has been an initial part of our first year at Alleghany through its presentation of school events.

The time is defined by Alleghany as a whole as it progresses through the academic year 1963-64; the space is that traveled by A.C.H.S. students. There were times when we thought this year ' s edi- tion would by " Out of space, and out of time, " but here it is thanks to the people you see on this page. The ALCOVA staff used cameras, threats, tears, anxiety, some brains, and a great amount of luck to complete this book. The camera results are seen throughout the book and need no explanation. The threats, tears, and anxiety came as a last resort and method of getting materials from outside sources. We used brains only occasionally, and our luck is evidenced by the fact that the first volume of the ALCOVA is in your hands. Seated: Patricia Armentrout, editor.

JUNIOR TRI-HI-Y The Senior Tri-Hi-Y Club and the Junior Tri-Hi-Y Club are made up of approximately sixty-six members. To raise money for its objectives, the Senior Tri-Hi-Y sponsored a Sock Hop in the gymnasium at which a very amusing boys ' fashion show was presented. One of its objectives which it met was the contribution it made to the Home Mission Program and World Service Fund of the Virginia District Y.M.C.A. Two of the Senior Tri- Hi-Y members represented our school at Model Gene- ral Assembly in Richmond, Virginia. The club is spon- sored by Miss Mary Litts Burton and Mrs. Enza Reynolds. The main goal of the Junior Tri-Hi-Y was the forma- tion of a club constitution. It was sponsored by Miss Jo Ann Bogan and Miss Lynn Raines.

This club promotes experience in living and working together and prepares its members for useful citizenship. The Key Club of A.C.H.S. was organized under the sponsorship of Mr. Barbrow. Among their projects were the selling of Christmas trees, the formation of a basketball team to represent ACHS in area competition, and the assisting in the promotion of the cancer fund drive. 104 " Scholarship, Leadership, and De- pendability " — these three terms effec- tively describe the junior and senior honor students. Although they are not members this first year of a national organization, these students have, throughout the year proved to be out- standing. Not only do these students pos- sess high academic averages, but they have participated in many extracur- ricular activities and can be depended upon to always go a step beyond that which is expected. The junior honor stu- dents served as marshals at both bac- calaureate and commencement; among the senior honor students are the recipients of the citizenship and scholarship awards. These students are the source of our great expectations. First row, I. to r.: Linda Peters, Brenda Wolfe, Barbara Garber, Barbara Wilson, Muffin Padgett.

OF AMERICA The Future Homemakers of America are teen-agers with a purpose of improving personal, family, and community living. To pursue this goal, activities are carried on in the homes, schools, and communities. The group is sponsored by the United States Office of Education and is guided by homemaking teachers. Home- making students throughout the nation are eligible to join. Through the National and State organizations, certain phases of family living are emphasized each year. From these, the Alleghany County Chapter chose to work on " Focus for Family Friendship. " This theme is studied in all chapter activities and emphasized in the class activity. 1 107 Mrs. Peggy Perdue and Miss Jane Johnson, co- sponsors of the Future Homemakers of America.

JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE The Latin Club of ACHS is affiliated with the Junior Classical League, a national organization. Members of the club receive membership cards and pins from the league. Under the sponsorship of Miss Lucy Gleason, a number of Latin Club members motored with mem- bers from Covington to the state JCL convention held in Charlottesville in October. At monthly meetings, programs are presented in connection with Latin to make the members more aware of the uses of Laitn today. A film strip depict- ing a Latin myth and a play given in Latin by some of the members are typical examples of the pro- grams.

Because of a lack of experience, our band wasn ' t able to perform on the field this year; however, their two public stage concerts were well received. Also in the musical atmosphere of Alleghany County High School, the vocal class may be heard practicing daily for their presentations. Their first public appearance came when they presented a var- iety of Christmas music for the student body.

Rhea, Dennis Entsminger, Homer Loan, Donnie Hayslett, Buddy Hobbs, On September 13, 1963, the first football team of A.C.H.S. kicked off to the Mountaineers of Clifton Forge High School. As the game got under way, the Colts seemed to lack skill, spark, and above all, spirit. However, the Colts came back in the second half with two touchdowns. Still, this wasn ' t enough to win, and the Colts went home disappointed with a 20- 1 4 defeat. After their first game, defeat was a word the Colts never heard again. Hard and long practices under Head Coach Robert Rose and assistants Craig Barbrow and Bill Jonas brought about a season rec- ord of seven victories and one loss. As the season ended, the Colts had emerged a much improved ball club. Donnie Wheatley.

The three schools participating were Alleghany, Clifton Forge, and Lord Botetourt. Clifton Forge came in first, with Botetourt in second, and Alle- ghany third. The second meet was against Rockbridge High School and was held at A.C.H.S. The meet was won by the Colts by a score of 82-27. Alleghany took nearly all of the first, second, and third place awards. Rock- bridge won first in the 100-yard dash, the high jump the shot put, and the 220-yard dash. Up, up, and over! 130 Although track is a relatively new sport on the high school level, it was introduced at A.C.H.S. under the supervision of Coach Rhea. The team participated in the state meet and placed fifth among schools in Group 1 B. Individually, Tommy Nichols placed sixth, and Ronnie Entsminger placed seventh. All players showed much improvement and enthusiasm.

Along with these qualities and the superb coaching of Craig Barbrow and Sam- uel Mitchell, the Colts ended the championship sea- son with a record of ten victories and four losses; two of the losses were not district games. Of the outstanding players of the season, two were seniors and two were juniors. The seniors, George Nelson, centerfield, and Donnie Hayslett, pitcher and third baseman, will be the only players not returning next year. The outstanding juniors, Rodney Bush, second baseman, and Johnny Taylor, pitcher and shortstop, will be strong support for the team in 1 965. 132 The batting averages of the players are compiled and compared by Mr. Craig Barbrow, head coach, and Mr. Samuel Mitchell, assistant. mmmw [ AS DISTRICT V CHAMPIONS 1964 BASEBALL RECORD Date Alleghany Mar. 26 20 April 7 4 April 14 3 April 24 7 April 28 9 May 5 1 May 8 5 May 12 3 May 14 25 May 19 8 May 20 17 May 20 3 May 20 9 May 22 14 Opponent 0 VSDB 5 ..Wilson Memorial 2 . .

The candidates for Miss Alcova are chosen by the senior boys. These boys submit the names of eight- een of Alleghany ' s loveliest senior girls to a faculty committee. Each girl must come before this com- mittee and answer questions on world affairs, dat- ing, school life, and plans for her future.

Her identity remains a secret until the annual arrives. This year the judges have selected Miss Nancy Lou Nicely as the first Miss Alcova. Her fairness extends into all phases of her life. Her wisdom guides her every decision. Her character is above reproach.

FOR BEAUTY, EXCITEMENT, AND SNOW Behind the scenes the excitement mounts as the girls are assisted in putting on the finishing touches to their appearances. As the snow gently falls, the queen, her attendants, and their escorts assemble before the spectators. Wanda Carr smiles happily after being crowned the first Homecoming Queen by Mr. Cvizic. The first strains of the Concord Commanders are heard in the gym, and the Homecoming Court sets the stage for the dancing of the evening. The students appear to be enjoying the music and atmosphere at Alleghany ' s first Homecoming dance. I THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS " Poor Julie, may he rest in peace, poor man. But as for you, please don ' t be angry with me for saying it, but you are much better off this way. " " Well, what ' s the matter — stabbed himself? " " You could stay for lunch . . Impossible, dear. Since he became proprietor of the Cafe Sorrento, Wolfe simply has to be there all the time. " As the play opens Liliom, a shiftless young ne ' er-do-well and bully of Budapest, is working as a barker for a merry-go-round. Julie, as well as many other servant girls, falls victim to his charms, and she and Liliom eventually marry. When Liliom learns that he is about to become a father, he participates in a highway robbery to enhance his fortunes; however, he is caught in the act and stabs himself rather than submit to arrest. He is tried in the Magistrate ' s court on high, but they see through him there. They know how he beat the girl whom he married on earth, how he planned the robbery, and how he killed h imself. They know that repentance is in his heart although he is much too cocky to admit it or make any plea for himself. Finally, he is sentenced to a term of years in the purifying fires of the penitential plains with the promise that after that sentence has been served, he can go back to earth with a chance to do one good deed there. After steal- ing a star from heaven for his young daughter, Liliom returns to earth not to be recognized by his child, but for a brief moment of recogniza- tion with Julie. They realize, when he leaves, that when love overcomes, hurt follows.

FOR CHRISTMAS AT ALLEGHANY The students and faculty dance against a background which carries out the theme, " Winter Wonderland. " 1 44 JJJJJJ Christmas means varying things to us all. To three of our teachers, Mr. Holbert, Mr. Rhea, and Miss Lawler, this Christmas brought engage- ment announcements. Our Christmas formal was sponsored by the FHA. The girls made most of the decorations and refreshments. Christmas is a time when we all have a cer- tain glow — the reflection of love. We not only feel closer to our families and friends but toward all man- kind. It is this love and appreciation of others that compels us to give freely of all that we have. This spirit — the spirit of Christmas — pervades the atmos- phere at Alleghany. The sights, smells, and sounds of Christmas are familiar to us all. The pungent scent of the gaily de- corated pine tree in the senior homeroom, the color- ful posters announcing the date and time of the Christmas formal, young voices singing " Hark, the Herald Angles Sing " — these are all a part of our Christmas at Alleghany County High School. Mr. Jonas and Harriet Walton put the finishing touches on the Christmas tree in the cafeteria, and Wanda Carr and Donald Kickler arrange the gifts underneath. Neptune, god of the sea, is the focal point for the theme of our prom. Mr. Cvizic crowns Miss B onnie Hayth our first prom queen as king John Petty watches. FOR CORAL, MUSIC, To the strains of a popular tune, th A pause by the refreshment table is enjoyed by the guests. AND SEAWEED The seniors join together for the first Grand March at Alleghany. Music softly penetrates the atmosphere as the juniors and seniors are transported into a beau- tiful, shimmering world of green and blue. Young ladies in long gowns, escorted by young gentlemen in white coats, glide gracefully across the floor to the lovely strains. The scent of car- nations, roses, and orchids mingles with coral and seaweed. This is our prom — magic inter- woven wi.th The Fantasy of the Sea. dancers bid farewell to a lovely evening.

Riverside Covington 162 i Tree farming is a GROWING business Proof? Ten years ago, there were only 16 million acres of woodlands on the nation’s accredited Tree Farms. Today, there are almost 50 million acres, a three-fold increase. Each Tree Farm is being operated as a private enterprise, growing trees for a regular cash income, just like any other crop. One of the big reasons why tree farming is a growing business is because the market for wood is growing. Annual consumption of wood products is rising at a steady rate and continues to rise as our economy expands. The country’s tree farmers are able to supply these growing needs because they are employing scientific forestry methods in cutting, harvesting, seeding and through the protection of their timber from fire and disease. This is good news not only for tree farmers and wood-using industries, but also for the nation. West Virginia Pulp and Paper TRAYLOR FURNITURE COMPANY CHILD ' S AND HEARE JEWELERS 311 W.

KENNEDY Our nation mourns a tragic loss Of its great and honest boss; A man of virtue we do know For whom now mournful trumpets blow. He fought with valor in World War II And did all any man could do; When in danger, he did act As though everything was still intact. When his nation called, he went To be the thirty-fifth President; And when in peace a nation came, He paid them all their due acclaim. He led us over red-hot coals And halted mighty Russia ' s goals; A noble man was he — His name was John F. Kennedy. Edward Junior Beasley Class of 1 964 FOR A WORD FROM THE EDITOR Perhaps at this stage in the process of editing a yearbook, I should write an elegy, the sub|ect for which would be sundry: missed deadlines, unsubmitted copy, unpaid bills, confused photographic schedules, or the last-minute rush. However, these are but memories now, and I shall instead consider the better side of my term as yearbook editor. As editor, I have learned that people will be people, and, therefore, an annual staff has its discrepancies. By first-hand experience, I am now well aware that my elders do know more than I. Our staff has served as the bridge to future yearbook traditions. We believe the name selected for ycur yearbook is one you can be proud of, both now and in the future. In selecting a young lady to reign as MISS ALCOVA, the staff was guided by the thought of the future and what an honor this title will come to be. As the editing of the first edition of Alleghany ' s yearbook ends, I, as editor, would like to once again thank the many people who have, in one way or another, assisted me. My most heartfelt thanks go to Mr. Dusan Cvizic for being so willing a mediator between the annual staff and the stu- dent body. He has very wisely advised us. The entire faculty is deserv- ing of praise for their co-operative spirit toward disrupted classes we caused. I appreciate so very much Mrs. Mary Fairfield ' s supervision as annual sponsor. Her ideas and guidance have been invaluable. I would also like to express my thanks to these staff members without whose help this book would not have been published: Somers Beirne Doris Redman Donna Bennett Linda Shelton Jean Carson Hunter Swartz Harriet Walton As you turn the pages of this first edition of the ALCOVA, I hope that it will bring back pleasant memories of our first year together at A. CHS. Sincerely, Patricia Armentrout 188 £ • Alleghany Highlands Regional Library
