In Scenes VIII and IX much of the action is devoted to getting adjusted and learning to study. Scene X signifies the middle step in the pro- duction, and identifies the professionals from the amateurs. While Scene XI progresses, the actors are becoming more aware of the ap- proach of Scene XII and are putting forth their very best to reach this highest point in the play. S tagc... Finally, as Scene XII comes into view, the players show an enthusi- astic pride in accomplishment. Scene Xi! proceeds in a whirlwind of activity and reaches its climax in a splendor of blue and white. With much pomp and circumstance the curtain falls on a weary but exultant troop of players. All is silent on stage until a new play and a new cast appears next fall. ...Ml Ei)t itten nlj Hustling and bustling in the halls, cheering at the games, and sharing happy moments with other stu- dents are all representative of the friendly atmos- phere which hovers around ACHS. Smiling, happy faces indicate the pleasure that each student gets from playing his role at Alleghany. Each day brings a new and different role for the student to play — some of them serious, some of them comical; but every role draws him more deeply into the activity of school life. During this second year of Alleghany ' s history, there have been changes in the roles of the students and changes in those who take part in the production of a memorable school year. With these changes, however, comes a stronger bond between the students and fonder memories for each student. Next year some of the players and producers will change again, but those who participated in the ' 64- ' 65 school year will never forget the success of this second year. Opening Section Dedication Administration and Faculty Classes Organizations Athletics Features Senior Directory Advertisements omen JW Jlabe Cfjeir Cxits With mixed emotions the seniors leave ACHS to begin the next Act in their lives. They must now assume the roles of high school graduates and must face the adult world. Varied expressions indicate the mixed feelings re- garding this next big part in life. For some of these seniors, only relief is felt because the long twelve years of study and worry is over. Other students feel sad about leaving the good times which being a stu- dent offers them. Anticipation of the near future brings joyous expressions to some of these faces, while uncertainty of the future is revealed by several anxious faces. Each of these people realizes that his life as a student at ACHS is nearly over. Each of them will take on a new role. Each of them will exit the high school world as a student and will enter the adult world as a member. 6 Snii tCfjeir CntranteS... After concluding the first seven years of elemen- tary school, the eighth graders finally reach those long-awaited halls of " The High School. " Looking lost, scared, and bewildered, these youngsters enter ACHS to begin their roles as high school students. Schedule cards, homerooms, and bells ringing are new experiences for the youngest and smallest mem- bers of the student body. Time is given for adjusting to the high school scene and for learning a new way to study. New people are met, new subjects are dis- covered and new goals are set. Having survived the first month of high school. the new members of the cast at ACHS begin to fit more smoothly into the atmosphere at Alleghany. When the eighth graders enter the final stage of their school careers, they are already preparing for their exit into the world. As eighth grade students enter the ninth grade, progress to the tenth grade, then reach the eleventh, and finally the twelfth, each step draws them closer to the world of adulthood. Life appears to be much entering and exiting to these young actors, but each new role offers them adven- ture, challenge, and rewards surpassing those pre- viously experienced. 7 ne Jflan 3n tCime Dennis Harmon has learned that studying is important if you want to succeed. Each member of the team has his own part to play, as Howard Liptrap has discovered. ...iWeiJitation... Being a Senior provides just cause for serious moments of meditation. Donna Bennett thinks about the many decisions which lie before her in this all-important year. ...Co=(©peration ♦ ♦ ♦ Resource information for after graduation plans, a sympathetic ear for per- sonal problems or o help- ing hand for pressing situations are characteris- tics which help to develop good Student-Guidance De- partment co-operation. Rufus Bradley is one of the many students who finds it necessary to dis- cuss future college plans with Miss O ' Farrell. ♦ ♦ ♦ Competition ♦ ♦ ♦ Quite often students do not realize that they are competing with thousands of other stu- dents for an outstanding role in the fast moving world of today. Practicing drills and perfecting skills are important in preparation for the future if one is in the commercial field. Joyce Kern realizes that hard work and efficiency are necessary to be outstand- ing in commercial activities. ...J elaxation... Students need a break every now and then in order to have a well-balanced, healthy attitude and there is no place better suited for relaxing than around one of the large cafeteria tables. Johnny Stinnett, Susan Per- singer, " Bunny " Yachan, Dewayne Loan, Barney Butler, Sheila Loomis, Ronnie Rudy, and Mary Beth Watson seem to be enjoying this break. 1 1 ...Aspiration... Much thought, consideration, and planning go into plans for one ' s future role in life. Aspirations of Navy life fill Gregg Howard ' s head with new ideas and plans. Perhaps Gregg finds it amusing to picture himself as a sailor. ...experimentation... Allen Downey, Sandra Dressier, and Jim Bowen learn to do experiments in the chemistry laboratory. These students are well aware that much knowledge, academic and general, is given through experimentation and study. 12 Before iilaiic ®f)cir Sbieus... Soon, for the lost time, the seniors will appear as star performers before this audience. The final curtain will go down. They will take their bows. And the great play on which their lives have been centered for the last four years will be over in a single night. Some of the actors, weary of the demanding schedule, are thankful that the end is near. But whether it is with quickened step ar with reluctant tread that they leave, they are, nevertheless, grate- ful to those who have directed them in their first major roles. 13 Co Co One IOJic o ers a Jriencff smife in ihe all Ueffs a Junny siort in i£e o ice Expresses fop of suppori io Cfl Cj Of Sfows personaf inieresi in eacf siucfent xfiSiis Jirm fui Jaip cfscipfine ncourapes sympaifizes ancf fefps wfen ife poinp roupf O ssumes ifose iime ' consuminp responsiBifiiies iJiai no one efse wanis JOorfs farc iirec Bui never piues up — Uo pou JIBr f)usan CjoiziCj principaf an cf Jriencf ifis 1965 OfjBGO VCB is (fedicaiecf 14 15 .ylcf ninisiraiion Ipproues 5a aru increase Alleghany County ' s School Administrative of- ficials are outstanding in their support of public school education. During this second year of ACHS ' s history, decisions and policies have been made by the school board for the betterment of ACHS. The school board has approved a higher wage increase for the teachers for the 1965-1966 school year. Promoting a better curricula with less repetition from year to year has been one of the school board ' s prime objectives. Higher student attendance has also been emphasized. Working behind the scenes most of the time, these officials strive for higher standards of ed- ucation in Alleghany County. Mr. Walter L.

Guidance One of the duties of the Guidance Department is to administer achievement tests. uiaance Tyeparlmeni Doyet Moore seeks help concerning his future education from Miss O ' Farrell. Guidance counselors at ACHS do much to lead students into the various fields of study at the school. Students are placed in business, shop, general, or college prep courses. These students are not placed in these various courses ot random; instead, they are screened and are then placed on the basis of their abilities and interests. ACHS ' s guidance program also provides for several national tests to be given each year in order to help students find out more about their national rating with other students. National Merit Scholarship tests and the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests are given to juniors who are preparing for college. Aptitude tests are given to the freshmen and juniors each year in an attempt to help them choose their vocations in future years. Students seeking summer empfoyment in local firms and businesses are given help by the guidance counselors. They help the students to find job openings and to make the proper applications. Juniors and seniors are aided by the guidance department in choosing the colleges they wish to attend. 29 - ‘0 i£i3 fearnin w£ai a i£in ii is! ' .

" These were familiar words to the members of the ACHS choir this year. Mr. Baber worked with the choir members individually and as a group to prepare them for the concerts at Christmas and in the spring. Not only did the choir offer its members valuable training in vocal music but also the opportunity to get away from the classroom routine. Occasionally the choir was asked to work with another organization to present a program to the student body. Participating in the graduation exercises was another highlight in the year for the choir. Being in the choir did mean working hard and prac- ticing, but it also meant learning a new way to work together as a team to produce winning results. 127 Cherie Davis rehearses a difficult number, accompanied by Mr. Baber.

Due to the outstanding spring concert, the band uniform fund rose by an enormous sum and the uniforms became more of a reality than just a dream. Another step forward for the band this year was the formation of a team of majorettes. With the advice of Miss Rebecca Thompson, the majorettes will be prepared to lead the band through numerous march routines and drills when the long-awaited day arrives.

Alleghany High ' s 1964 football team compiled an impressive 7-2 record. The first six opponents the Colts met were defeated. Included in these first six was our arch-rival, Clifton Forge, who was defeated 19-7 on their own field. After winning thirteen successive games over a two year span and leading the District 5 title chase all sea- son, Alleghany was upset by Wilson Memorial 7-0. This defeat eliminated our chance for the District Champion- ship, but the players picked up many post-season laurels. Homer Loon (64), o junior, was the player selected from ACHS for the All-State first team. Jim Heironimus (74) was the All-State second team selection, and Johnny Taylor (22), who was the second highest scorer in the district, earned berths on the All-State third team. 137 FronI- to bock: Peggy Hylton, head cheerleader, Jeon Shawver, Carol Thompson, Paula Dressier, Helen Bradley, Brenda Hayslett, Debbie Lockard. v s 9c am iefcf Cjxperience First row: Wayne Vail, Blair Wilhelm, Roger Whitehead, Roger Daniel, Jon Kilian, Mike Persinger, Ted Wilhelm.

Despite the somewhat dismal record of this year ' s junior varsity (won 1, lost 4), we feel that our 1964 season was nevertheless successful. Many young boys were educated in the game of football. Several promising jayvees will be moved up to the varsity squad for the 1965 football season. Mr. Jefferies, the junior varsity coach, demonstrates some key plays. 139 TJarsiiy Q)heer eacfe ers in Cheerleading has as its main objec- tive the promotion of good sportsman- ship and school spirit. Fulfilling these goals means the hours of practice, the black eyes for the skit, the sore muscles, and the ever-lasting smile. Rewards are a cheering crowd, a vic- torious team, or the winning of the coveted District 5 cheerleading tro- phy. Cheerleading is keeping the true meaning of " spirit " alive in the hearts of athletes and spectators . . be it in victory or defeat. Joyous smiles indicate that the Colts near another victory.

In the first game of the season, Alleghany fell victim to the Covington Cougars by a score of 63-62. But, in their next three encounters the Colts captured breath-taking wins at the expense of Fort Defiance (48-47), James River (64-63) and Buffalo Gap (59-57). Trampling on, the Colts sent the Clifton Forge Mountaineers down to defeat by a score of 57 to 53. In hard-fought games, Alleghany gave up their next two contests to Buffalo Gap (56-69) and Clifton Forge (54- 61). To gain revenge for their first loss the Colts dropped the Covington Cougars to a 72-61 defeat in a great second half comeback. In the last two encounters of regular play the team gained victories over Wilson Memorial (86-83) and James River (71-55). When tournament time roll- ed around, Alleghany smeared the James River Knights (71-55) and eked out a 55-54 victory over the Fort De- fiance Indians only to lose to the Buf- falo Gap Bisons by a score of 43 to 55. But the Colts did not come home empty-handed. Besides being runner- ups in District 5, the Colts tied for second place for the sportsmanship award and placed two members on the All District team: Johnny Taylor on the first and Rod Bush on the second. The 1964-65 Colt Seniors, Johnny Taylor, Jim Heironimus, Wayne Howard, Johnny Smith, How- ard Liptrap and Rod Bush will be lost to the team by graduation this spring, a loss which will be hard to regain next season. These three Colt rebounders, Rod Bush, Jim Heironimus and Johnny Taylor are shown clearing the boards high above everyone, a position not unusual for them. Floating gracefully in midair, agile Johnny Taylor evades Ernie Miller of Ft. Defiance to score in a 55-54 victory at the District 5 tournament. The Colts ' Heironimus tips it in to gain two points in the semifinal game of the District 5 tournament which the Colts won 71-55 over James River. 143 Smith, Howard, Taylor, and Bush are caught with eyes glued on the ball, awaiting its descent as Liptrap out jumps his James River opponent. Colts, Taylor, Liptrap, Howard and Bush battle with the Mountaineers ' Hickman for a loose ball. Rodney Bush passes the ball as he is guarded by Clifton Forge ' s John Dean. While Coach Walker gives one of his half-time pep talks, Jim Heironimus and Bill McNabb seem to be contemplating his words. 144 Kneeling: Steve Crawford, Steve Byerly, Roy Swartz, Mike Thompson, Rick Littleton, Mike Hostetter.

JZ U. y{aue c5 uccessfuf S eason Capturing a winning season, the 1965 Colt junior varsity squad, coach- ed by Sam Mitchell, comprised a rec- ord of 12 wins and 7 defeats. High- lights of the season were: the 42-36 victory over Clifton Forge led by Frankie Dobbins ' 17 points, and the double victories over James River, Miilboro, and Lord Botetourt. The J.V. Colts defeated Buffalo Gap once by a score of 38-29 and in a hard- fought game dropped a dose one to the Bisons by a score of 24 to 26. The only team which defeated them twice were the Covington Cougars by a score of 29-55, in the first game of the season and a much improved 22- 25 later in the season. The Colts also found victory at the expense of Fort Defiance (46-40), Valley (29-23), and Steve Byerly captures a rebound in a victory over James River. V.S.D.B. (30-17). This valuable ex- perience and knowledge of basketball will be very much apparent in next year ' s varsity team. 145 iahlh raoers ain TJafuaS e Cjxperience Front row: Mike Brewbaker, Roy Reid, Gary Swaim, Joe Morris, Barry Lugar. Second row: Roger Whitehead, David Snyder, Greg Anderson, Jim Slasher, Bruce Swartz, Barry Hayslett, Coach, Robert Jefferies. Gaining valuable experience, but lacking points in the winning column, the youngsters of Alleghany bas- ketball compiled a record of 1 win and 8 losses. This was not as dismal as it sounds though, as some of their games were lost by very narrow margins. The eighth grade team dropped a close one to Millboro by a score of 11 to 13. They were also defeated by few points when they tangled with James River (32- 37) and Lord Botetourt (23-29). Breading into the winning column, the small Colts, led by Greg Ander- son with ten points, defeated Central by a score of 22 to 14. The eighth graders, under the coaching of Robert Jefferies, were instilled with the basic funda- mentals of basketball and the principles of good sportsmanship, faithful training, and hard fair play- ing, win or lose. 146 First row: Mike Arritt, Gary Bush, Jon Kilian, Chuck Bartlett, Steve Patrick, William Tingler, Grable Surber, Mike Arrington, Carl Byers. Second row: Steve Saylor, Edward Smith, David Smith, Tommy Herald, C. L. Hylton, Jim Faidley, Russell Rose, Jim Miller. Gary Bush pins his Covington opponent for Alleghany ' s first pin. For the Alleghany wrestling team, this was a year of learning because this is the first year that ACHS has had a wrestling team. Coach Robert Rose and his matmen had two matches with Cov- ington, both of which they lost. Because of this practice and experience and their desire and determination, the Colts should be a much improved team next year. Tommy Herald fights Covington ' s " Big Daddy " Waddell for position. 147 Success on i ie T}iamoncf in Seated: A. W.

As in the two other major sports the Alleghany team finished as runner-up for the District 5 title. Two losses to Rockbridge were the only blemishes on the Colt record. These were drop- ped by scores of 9 to 5 and 5 to 3. Alleghany de- feated all other opposition twice. They were: V.S.B. (8-2) and (6-5), Wilson Memorial (5-0) and (6-5), Valley (7-2) and (10-8), Covington (6-4) and (11-3), Clifton Forge (12-1) and (11-5), and Fort Defiance (7-1) and (10-2). The hitting of Taylor, Brown, Mc- Nabb, and Bush and pitching of Nicely and White- head accounted for a great deal of the strength of this year ' s team. These plus the hustling and fight- ing brand of play exhibited by the whole team en- abled Coach Bill Jonas ' s Colts to become the power- house runner-ups in District 5. 148 Pitcher, Hiawatha Nicely connects with the ball for a hard-hit single. First baseman, Barry Daniel awaits th e throw from the pitcher in an attempt to pick off the opponent.

They were runner-up in the District 5 meet, in which Doyet Moore, Tommy Nichols, and Roger Mays finished fourth, fifth, and sixth, re- spectively. In the Unclassified Divi- sion of the State Meet (Group IB and II), Nichols finished sixth, Moore came in tenth, and the team finished fifth in the meet and brought home one of ACHS ' s first trophies. 1964 Cross Country Record Alleghany Opponent Andrew Lewis 35 22 32 23 Fort Defiance 36 21 Giles County 23 (Low score 32 wins) Buffalo Gap The Alleghany team is shown in the State Meet in which they captured fifth place. 150 Seated: Doyet Moore, Curtis King, Homer Loon, David Smith, Donnie Wheatly, John Bradley, Jedy Sortoin.

The track team closed the ' 65 season winning 1 meet, losing 2 and finishing 2nd in a triangular meet. In the first meet for the cindermen, a triangular meet with Clif- ton Forge and Lord Botetourt, Alleghany finished last. In the next meet, also a tri- angular meet, Alleghany finished second to Buffalo Gap and defeated Rockbridge. In a meet with Covington, the Cougars tell beneath the feet of the trackmen by a score of 86 to 23. In a contest, with Clifton Forge, Alleghany lost by a score of 65 to 53. In these four meets Wheatly and King both gained spotless records by winning over all competition, Wheatly in the mile and King in the low hurdles. In the Con- cord relays for Group B schools, Wheatly finished second in the mile and Alleghany finished second in both the 2 mile relay and mile relay and third in the 440 relay. At the District 5 meet King finished second in the low hurdles, Moore finished second in the 880 and the Alleghany mile relay team finished second. Track is a new sport at Alleghany and next year with the new track, the first of its kind in Alleghany County, the Colts should go on to greater heights. The success of this year ' s team, coached by Eddie Rhea, and the increasing enthusiasm for track among the students brought this sport to a recognized position in Alleghany athletics. 151 eep JrieiKf uncfer own Ji e s Aet . ” ALL ' S WELL THAT ENDS WELL Act I Scene I m These lovely young ladies certainly do represent Alleghany County High School well: Sandra Sue Smith, Mary Wilson, Shiela Loomis, Cynthia Walton, Katherine Montgomery, Wanda Mynes, Virginia Johnson, Barbara Wilson, Mary Loving Turner, Frances Padgett, Sandra Hepler, Jean Fleshman, Brenda Crowder, Beverly Siple, Georgia Herald. One of the most exciting weeks of a girl ' s senior year is the week that Miss Alcova is chosen. This year ' s selection was very difficult because of the fine taste that the senior boys displayed when they elected the can- didates. A committee of experienced and well informed teachers held interviews with each candidate. The girls all tried to look their best when the day came for their interview; but beauty was not the primary interest of the committee. Personality, manners, dating habits, ability to work well with teachers and other students, and scholastic ability played key roles in the selection of the 1965 Miss Alcova. The recipient of the coveted honor of Miss Alcova of 1965 is . . . 154 )56 157 Jfo 7i oineco nino JJrinas sneers ana uears G i. It was very difficult for the students to make a decision between these radiant Homecoming Queen Candidates: Ramona Simmons, Georgia Herald, Katherine Montgomery, Brenda Crowder, Mary Loving Turner, Wanda Mynes. Homecoming at ACHS held great meaning for many people this year, it was the first time alumni from ACHS could attend the ceremonies and actu- ally feel a part of them. The air was static wi th the friction of the tense crowd as the Colts galloped over the James River Knights in a smashing 32-7 victory. The dance after the game was no less a part of the festive occasion. The gym was deco- rated in the colors of the school — red, white, blue. A large football hung from the center of the gym, reminding everyone of the excellent performance of our football team. Everyone was chatting ex- citedly about the beauty of the gym. It was a delightful evening and students and alumni of ACHS were glad to be a part of it. A tearful but elated Luggum is crowned by Mr. Cvizic. Luggum ' s fellow cheerleaders, Kathy Taylor, Linda Howard, Beverly Siple, and Muffin Padgett, crowd jubilantly around her after she was crowned Queen.

" gulps Esther. The ACHS seniors romped through their production of Solly Benson ' s and Christopher Sergei ' s three act comedy, " Meet Me In St. Louis, " with on extraordinary air of confi- dence, enthusiasm, and finesse. The play was based on the efforts of the four daughters of the Smith family to sabotage their father ' s transfer from their home in St. Louis to his company ' s New York office. The hilarious antics of the daughters and the comical situa- tions which arose because of their mischievi- ousness kept the audience in stitches and the morale of the cast at record high. The play was exceptionally well cast and provided two hours of fun and entertainment for all who were present. ‘ ' 9Keei JKe S7n S . ooia ' s " This family is moving to New York — just as fast as we can.

Costumes were misplaced, make-up was smeared, hair-dos were done and redone, and lines were rehearsed and rehearsed. Everyone was in a hilarious mood and practical jokes were flying every- where. If it had not been for the good humor and patience of everyone, the play could not have been such a big success.

Girls with the starry look of Christmas formols in their eyes and boys with anticipation of vacation written on their faces made Christmas at Alleghany. Carols from around the world filled the halls prior to Christmas vacation and classroom doors were festively decorated. Baskets of food, toys, and gaily wrapped presents were found in every room. A lovely Christmas tree graced the cafeteria and a showcase full of golden angels met us at the front door. On the night of the Christmas formal, the way to Candy Heaven led the dancers to a gym full of candy canes, gingerbread men, and cookies. The Christmas formal with its calorful scenes of " Candy Heaven " climaxed the holiday festivities here at ACHS. From the time Santa Claus presented each couple with a candy cane as they entered the scene, until the Pavalons closed the musical program with a dreamy song of farewell, the spirit of Christmas and the expectation of joyous holidays filled the air. As the curtain fell at the end of a perfect eve- ning, everyone felt that Christmas had truly come to ACHS this year. The cafeteria is decorated tor the enjoyment of the students. Donnie Wheatley, John Swartz, Glenn Minnix, Helen Deisher, Hunter Fridley, and Mary An- drews, members of the JCL, re-enact the Na- tivity. JlCary s ToJinc ow The Latin Club of ACHS presented a Christmas pageant on December 17, 1964. The Script for the pageant, " Through Mary ' s Window " , was taken from St. Matthew and St. Luke. The Biblical characters were por- trayed by these students; Mary, Helen Deisher; Joseph, Hunter Fridley; the Wise Men, Dewayne Loan, Dale Peters, and Jedy Sartain; the Shepherds, Glenn Minnix, John Swartz, and Donnie Wheatley; the Angel, Mary An- drews; narrator, Paul War wick. The vocal class furnished the music. Cherie Davis, a member of the class, sang " O Holy Night " to close the program. Mr. Robert Hughes had the benediction. Miss Mary Helen Wolfe and Miss Lucy Gleason directed the pageant. The band under the direction of Mr. Baber, herald the Christmas season with traditional carols. 166 Id ei HKe Gaff you Gweelfearf " Let Me Call You Sweetheart. " This was the theme which created the romantic atmosphere for the Sweetheart Dance at ACHS this year. The gym, decorated with lovely red and white streamers, provided a beautiful setting for the dance. A local band, the Telestars, played a melody of songs for the students to dance by. During the evening the main highlight was the crowning of Miss Beverly Siple as Sweetheart Queen. Sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y the dance proved to be a success and everyone left the dance feeling as though Cupid ' s arrow had struck its mark. Beverly Siple, Sweetheart Queen, and her escort, Wayne Loan, view the dance after Beverly was crowned. 1 i i it if 13 VHH Queen Beverly Siple and her court, Sandra Sue Smith, Donna Bennett, Beverly, Neville Buck, Sandra Bradley, are pictured with their escorts. 167 GJiez CParee Surrounded by the gay atmosphere of an evening in Paris, Mary Andrews admires the sparkling fountain in a Parisian garden as Donnie Wheatley admires her. Dancing in a Parisian square, Dennis Entsminger and Sandra Bradley, Butch Dearing and Judy Bazzaree, Dennis Harmon and Donna Bennett appear to have caught the mood of Paris. Betty Blake and John Dudley, Ashby Rhea and Bobbie Wilson dance to the strains of a Pari- sian love song. The Grand March was one of the most beautiful parts of the evening. The officers of the junior and senior classes led the March. Pictured here are Judy Bazzarre, Allen Downey, Cindy Walton, Chet Swartz, Donna Ben- nett, Dennis Harmon, Kathy Montgomery, Rod Bush. Glenna Slayton serves refreshments to Dianne Bramlett, Barry Daniel, and Jim Heironimus during intermission. Queen Kathy Montgomery and King Rod Bush pause in a sidewalk cafe with Mr. Czivic and Prince Don Wheatley and Princess Kathy Tay- lor.

After a sumptuous meal, Rod Bush, Class President, introduced Chet Swartz as emcee for the evening. Chet gave a little speech that touched the hearts of everyone there. He described what ACHS had meant to him and what a " fun-filled " two years it had been. His comparison of us to a " big, happy family " expressed how everyone felt. Dewayne Loan sang " Moon River " as Sandra Sue Smith accompanied him. Donna Dennett read " It Couldn ' t Be Done " by Edgar Guest. When the evening came to a close, the Seniors reluctantly left with tears in their eyes along with a gleam of hope for the future. Rod Bush, senior class president, prepares to introduce Chet Swartz who will conduct the remainder of the festivities. Those special guests at the head table are Miss Mary Litts Burton, class sponsor, Mr. Wendell Maynard, class sponsor. Chet Swartz, treasurer of class, Miss Cindy Walton, secre- tary of class.

Main St. Covington Virginia 190 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. Wesf Virginia Pulp and Paper COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY OF CLIFTON FORGE, INC.
