Sports and social events- -these are as much a part of Bluestone as studies. The arch- rivalry between the Bluestone Barons and the Park View Dragons is a long-standing football tradition, as is the Ho m e c o m i ng game. The Homecoming, Twirp, and May dances are eagerly awaited events. The Prom is the traditional climax to the year for Bluestone’ s juniors and seniors. This year Bluestone’s seniors for the first time have a standard ring, one which has been adopted as the official class ring of Bluestone High School. This is the beginning of a new tradition. May it continue. 5 DEDICATION MRS. AGNES JEFFREYS This person, until last year a member of the Bluestone faculty, is well-known and loved by Bluestone’s students. Coming to the school in 1958, she taught girls’ physical education, and served as assistant advisor of the girls’ basketball team during her first year. For the next two years she taught eighth and ninth grade English and assisted in the school library. Before coming to Bluestone, she served as librarian at Clarks- ville High School where she also sponsored the annual. These facts, however, are not all that is important to us. The students of Blue- stone will always be grateful to her for her friendliness and kind assistance to them. It is with gratefulness and love that we, the staff, dedicate the 1964 GOLDEN LINK to Mrs. Agnes Jeffreys. 6 The light of the traditional Lamp of Knowledge shines forth from the faculty of Bluestone High School.

For five years those students have studied and carried on the TRADI- TIONS of their Alma Mater. As eighth graders, inexperienced but eager to learn, they became acquainted with Bluestone and its customs. It was their privilege to attend football and basketball games. They watched as a Homecoming Queen took her throne. They became a small part of an active high school. Upon becoming ninth graders, they began to take part in sports and other activities. Then, as members of the Sophomore class, they began to become a working part of their school. Peppermint Lounge was the theme of their first money-making project to finance the great- est TRADITION of all- -the Junior- Senior Prom. In 1962, when these students became juniors, they were eager to begin work on their prom. They held bake sales and the Miss Bluestone Contest in preparation for it. The big night finally arrived and the Class of ' 64 stepped into an Enchanted Garden . At the beginning of their senior year these Bluestone students started a TRADITION of their own. They were the first to wear the standard class ring which they had designed. The seniors led the traditional Homecoming game and dance. They judged Lawbreakers at the Twirp Dance and reigned over the May Dance. As the most memorable year of their high school life draws to a close, the members of the Class of ' 64 look forward to the future. They will soon enter a new world consisting of responsibilities they have never known before. Throughout this new experience they w ill always remember the TRADITIONS of Bluestone High School. 14 LEONORE MARIE ACCETTULLO Lee Class Secretary 3, Class President 2,4; S.C.A. 2; Commencement Marshal 4; Latin Club 2; Monitor Staff 4; Golden Link Staff 3,4,5, Class Editor 5; Beta Club 3,4,5, Reporter 3, Vice President 4, President 5, Beta Club Convention Delegate 4,5; Senior Superlative-Most Co-operative; Choral Club 2; Scribblers ' 2; Perfect Attendance 2.

They anticipated a year that they would always remember. The highlight of the year was the prom. Dues, a bake sale, and sponsorship of the Miss Bluestone Contest were all means of raising money for that traditional event. The juniors appli ' ed themselves to such subjects as English, history, chemistry, geometry, Latin and French. Publications, Beta Club, S.C.A. and 4-H Club occupied the extra time of many busy juniors. Yes, the eleventh graders worked patiently to achieve that all important goal of be- coming a senior. 32 Becky Adcock Gale Adcock Janice Adcock James Allgood James Allgood Sandra Ashworth Mary Ellen Aktins Wayne Averette Anita Bailey Judy Bass Cheryl Bowen Frances Boy ter Johnny Black Bonnie Blanks Algie Bowen Linda Buchanan Elsie Bugg Mary Alice Cantrell Phil Carnes Barbara Burnette Charles Carter Johnny Caknipe Randy Carter Ronnie Candler Malda Chandler Dorothy Clark Linda Dagenhart Joan Coghill Dianne Daniel Patsy Coleman Charlotte Davis Herbert Crews Peter Davis Elaine Crowder Gena Deal Randy DeBause John Dick Peggy Dodson Barbara Elliott Dorothy Elliott Joan Elliott Molly Easley Glen Edwards Vi Patsy Elliott Wesley Garner Brenda Falls Janet Fendley Carrie Lee Glasscock Edwin Glazener Randolph Flynn Judy Gordon Diana Frazier Vivian Gordon T.

After the election of class officers, the sophomores prepared to finance their prom next year by collecting dues and holding a very success- ful Christmas dance. As the students began to consider careers, they took preparatory courses. The college-bound students studied English, Latin, and algebra. Other courses included agriculture, business, and industrial arts. The sophomores participated in extracurricular activities such as the S.C.A., the GOLDEN LINK, the MONITOR, and the Monogram Clubs. 46 Donna Accettullo Lynda Adcock Jimmy Allen Jean Anderson Jean Armes Wayne Ayers Douglas Blanks Frankie Bracey Mamie Bristow Barbara Blanton Judy Brame Evelyn Bruce Cora Boswell Lillian Brankley Robert Bryson Joan Bowden Ellen Brewer Ricky Buchanan Betty Bowen James Brewer John Burch Martha Bowen Joe Brewer Betty Jo Burnette Betty Compton Danny Deskins Billy Collie Charles Dellinger Gray Chandler Melva Davis Judy Carter Barbara Daniel Bonnelle Carter Eddie Crowe Linda Cantrell Jimmy Cooke Mack Elliott Sarah Emory Roy Garrett Johnny Glasscock Marilena Glazener Joe Gomer David Griffith Doris Hall Susan Hall Ann Harris Dennis Hayes Jerry Hayes Brenda Hite Elaine Hite Julius Hite Russell Hope Mark Howerton Euland Hoyle Gerald Hudson Lynnwood Inge Tracey Inge Trudie Jaber Doris Jacobs Nora Jones Billy Judy Debra Kemp Ailine Loftis Henry Hunter Jerry Inge Wanda Johnson Harold Jones Irene Loftis Sandra Magann Bobby McGee Martin Mills Milton Mills Eddie Moore Mike Moore Steve Morris Morgan Moss Ellen Newcomb Lottie Newsom Charles Newton Daphine Newton John Nichols Connie Nicholson Joe Overby Jane Owens Christine Panther Betsy Parker Martha Parker Susan Payne Claude Peterson Joan Presson John Price Judy Puryear Ray Reese Michelle Rickman Wayne Roberts Frances Rothell Bobby Seamons Joyce Simmons Linda Stevens Harrison Seamons Judy Slaughter Tommy Taylor Lois Seamons Gene Smith Sue Th acker Fulton Seay Lee Smith Sandra Thorpe Deborah Semones Scottie Smith Steve Tuck Iva Shelton Wade Stembridge Janice Walker Cleo Wilkinson Brenda Williams Linda Williams Wayne Wilmouth Lonnie Woods Phyllis Woodson Louise Worley Delores Yancey Jimmy Yancey Linda Yancey George York Joyce Young Latin requires much studying as these sophomores know.

They could now take more advanced subjects such as algebra, Latin, biology, geography, and business mathematics. These subjects would carry them into the many fields that they might wish to explore and maybe someday enter. Besides taking new subjects, ninth graders participated in more school activities. These included the GOLDEN LINK staff, MONITOR staff, S.C.A., J.V. football, J.V. cheerleading, F.F.A., and F.H.A. The class elected their officers who began making plans for that big day when they could give a Junior- Senior prom. The freshmen started by selling magazines and then candy. With another year behind them, the Class of ' 67 greet the future with open minds, ready to meet the goals they have set. 54 James Adams Joyce Allen Patrick Allgood Berry Arrington Jerry Arrington Tinker Ashworth Linda Ayers Edward Bailey Phyllis Blankenship Marlise Blanks Melvin Bowen Sanford Bowen Nancy Breedlove Doris Brewer Verna Mae Bridges Paige Brinkley Barbara Bruce Edith Buchanan Nancy Buchanan Henry Bunn Mary Bunn Vickie Burton Linda Byrd Grey Clark Wyc Cole Martha Coleman Beverly Colgate Nancy Col lis Jerry Cooke Billy Cottrell Robert Cottrell Kathy Crudup Butch Davis Jane Ross Davis Dottie Dean Tommie Dixon Hilda Duckworth Paul Duffer Carol Ann Dunn Sandra Edgerton Rebecca Edwards Betty Jane Elam Norma Elliott Paul Elliott Tommy Emory Janet Evans Patricia Flynn Ruby Fossett Rebecca Frazier Linda Garner Sally Gill Phillip Glassco Gene Green Jennifer Hale Mary Ellen Hamblin Brenda Harris Roger Hart Pam Hastings Stephen Hatcher Judy Hayes Charles Hazelwood Virginia Herndon Phyllis Hershman Allen Hite Kathy Hite Tommy Hudson Betty Huss Genie Hutcheson Shirly Inge Linda Grey Johnson Robert Jolly Jackie Jones Brenda Jean Lanyon Ronald La Prade Thomas Lawson Patricia Lenhart Bobby Lloyd James Loftis John Love Larry McPeters Andy Montague Eddie Moore Barry Morgan Charles Morningstar Annette Morris Joette Morris Jack Neal Thomas Newby Wade Newsom Brenda Nichols Kenneth Orr Kay Owen Tommy Park Wayne Pennell Dianne Pittard Lynda Pixley Kenneth Pruitt Roger Queen Weldon Ramsey Betsy Rice James Riggan Marvin Riggans Harriett Robinson Jimmy Robinson Jimmy Rogers Eunice Sanders Jean Seamons Bowman Seaton Melvin Seay Ronnie Seay Jerry Smith Dorothy Strum Nancye Tarry Teresa Thames Sandra Thomas Timmy Thomas Carol Thompson Mildred Tuck Patsy Tuck Presley Tuck Joseph Vaughan Michael Wagstaff Cecil Walker Betty Wall Reid Watkins Jerry Wilbourne Dougie Wilkinson Bonnie Williamson Randy Williamson Billy Willis Samuel Winkler Robert Woltz Lee Yancey Ann Yeates 59 SITTING: Ray Thompson, Jackie Chappell.

They were members of the Class of ’68. From them will come new ideas and leaders. Confused at first with the new life at Bluestone, they proceeded to learn the changing of classes and teachers. As the year progressed they began to take part in extracurric- ular activities. Among them were the S.C.A., J.V. football and basketball, and J.V. cheerleading. Now the Pre-freshman Class eagerly awaits the beginning of a new school year, when they, as upperclassmen, can welcome the new eighth graders. 60 Betsy Adams Wayne Adams Nancy Adcock Mike Allgood Roy Anderson Morris Ashworth Susan Ashworth Jimmy Atkins Beverly Bass David Beam Doris Jean Bell Butch Berry James Bigger Paul Billings Kenneth Blankenship James Bohannon Deborah Boldin Wallace Bowen Cecil Bowman Jackie Brame Alice Brewer Nancy Brewer Carl Bruce Linda Bryson Eddie Buchanan Larry Bugg Dianne Bunn Michael Burnett Willie B.

The student may choose studies which assist him in planning his particular career. Miss Batts, who teaches eleventh grade English and Ameri- can literature, aids Jimmy Ramsey in his search for short stories by American authors. STUDENTS IN LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL STUDIES The Language Department at Bluestone consis ts of five courses in English, two in French, and three in Latin. The students who took these classes this year found that they were often required to do projects. In addition to studying grammar and English literature, Mrs. Hilda Collins ' senior English students made literary maps and illustrated notebooks and wrote term papers. Miss Ann Shirley Johnson, Miss Polly Batts, Miss Nancy Collins, Miss Patty Tweed, Miss Martha Butcher, and Mrs. Elizabeth Stumps also required their English pupils to prepare creative projects. An important part of Mrs. Laura Bragg ' s French program was the French scrap- book. The French I students were required to make a scrapbook, including anything pertaining to France. However, the French II classes were required to do an illustrated theme about a phase of French life or history. The Latin students of Mrs. Bernice Owen gained a background in Roman life and customs as well as a k nowledge of the language. In order to do this, the pupils were required to make reports on assigned topics. Bluestone for the first time had a class in Latin III who studied Cicero and his four Orations against Cataline. Latin I students study this foreign language to improve their cultural background, as well as their English vo- cabulary. Scottie Smith illustrates how literature is an escape from the real into the imaginary as she gives an oral book re- port to her English class. Mr. Blane points out to Wilford West and his World History class the lo- cations of the early civilizations in Europe and Asia. LEARNED THROUGH ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECTS The Social Studies Department offered a variety of courses in history and government. Mr. O. B. Crowder, Mr. James Crump, Miss Arlene Sheffield, Miss Ann Shirley Johnson, Mrs. Elizabeth Stumps, and Mr. Edward Blane convinced their stu- dents that history and government affect the lives of everyone. Miss Sheffield required her Virginia and United States History pupils to turn in two illustrative projects this year, one each semester. These projects had to illustrate something that the students had studied. Miss Johnson stressed to her students the importance of being up-to-date on our national and world problems and re- quired each of them to enter weekly news articles in a current events notebook. The senior government students learned about the governing bodies of our state and nation while the ancient history classes studied the earliest forms of civilization and government. Mr. Blane discusses the coming presidential elections and how earlier history is related to modern politics. Miss Johnson and Larry Hite narrate to the U.S. History class the national and international current events of the week. Bibb Edwards, equipped with protractor, compass, and colored chalk and using his knowledge of con- structing geometric figures, decorates the black- board for Christmas. MATH AND SCIENCE Although mathematics is a very old science, many new theories and teaching techniques have been introduced in the past few years. Miss Maria Choca, Mrs. Jo Anne Andrews, Mrs. Rachel Pixley and Mr. Don Schley have put these theories into practice at Bluestone this year. Eighth graders learned new methods in fundamental math, while upper classmen studied higher math. The Algebra I and II classes concentrated on getting a good background in the principles of algebra, but the Algebra III class branched out to include such college preparatory topics as the slide rule and the theory of sets. The plane geometry classes found geometry very different from other forms of mathematics. While they learned theorems and proved problems, the solid geometry and trigonometry class struggled with prisms, spheres, and trignometric functions. Miss Choca instructs Johnny Harris in advanced algebra, preparing him for complicated mathemat- ics in his future college studies. 68 Johnny Smith and Jane Walker demonstrate the refraction of light in a Science 8 class. DEPARTMENT GROWING In the space-age in which we live, science is of great importance. This year Bluestone offered courses in general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Mrs. Helen Gregory gave the eighth grade students instruction in general science. Mr. Harvey Jeffreys and Mrs. Bernice Fussell taught biology. Mr. Jeffreys also taught chemistry and Miss Maria Choca taught physics. The biology classes studied the life processes of plants and animals and the students were rather squeamish when the time for disecting came. The study of elements was the main interest of the chemistry students. They conducted many experiments and demonstrations to supplement their study. Although the physics course was not new at Bluestone, it was renewed this year after being discontinued for a year. The students worked on practical problems and also performed experi- ments with the newly purchased equipment. Students in biology class are previously shown what they will discover when disecting an earth worm. Gaynelle Newton and Larry Carter experiment with light and prisms in Miss Choca ' s physics class. Nickie Collins and Carol Hastings design a tem- plate as one of their joint projects for the mechan- ical drawing class. 70 Mr. Horton shows his industrial arts students the techniques of art in industry. VOCATIONAL COURSES GIVE Marvin Riggins and Wilford West practice skills in wood working which they have learned in class study. Students taking agriculture or industrial arts gained practical experience for later use in factory work and operating farms. Mr. Donald Propst, Mr. Alfred LeGrand, and Mr. J. O. Clay taught agriculture this year. They instructed the boys in many different phases of the subject. Some of the topics which they studied were farm management, care and use of the trac- tor and other farm machinery, and factors to look for when purchasing a farm. Students who took mechanical drawing and industrial arts found that these courses provide instruction as well as an opportunity to use the knowledge that they have acquired. Mr. William Horton, who taught mechanical drawing, is also the head of the Industrial Arts Department. The mechanical drawing classes studied lettering, the different types of lines, and perspec- tive drawing. They learned to draw objects from different views and to picture them in space. The boys taking industrial arts learned the skills of woodworking and metal working. In classroom they learned the fundamentals of their work, and in the shop they put them into practice. Jane Walker learns from Miss Copley design stitching and how to work button holes. STUDENTS PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Bluestone girls learned many important things about being a homemaker in the home economics classes taught by Mrs. Mary Virginia Wood, and Miss Mary Copley. They not only practiced cooking and sewing, but they also discussed fashions, personal appearance, child care, and home furnishings. Many Bluestone girls won fair prizes for their accomplish- ments. Individual projects were required and write-ups and pictures were sent into the sta te and national F.H.A. magazines. Also, each week home economics students entered an arti- cle on some phase of home life in the local newspaper. A bulletin board designed by F.H.A. members calls to the attention of all Bluestone students a Focus on Family Life. Judy Riggin, president of the Blue- stone Future Homemakers of Ameri- ca, takes charge of a meeting of the entire organization of Home Econom- ics students. Mr. Owen and Mr. Connor prepare the choral club and band for Blue- stone ' s traditional Christmas concert. ELECTIVES AND PHYSICAL A student at Bluestone may take art, dramatics, band, or choral club as an elective. These courses provide the student with enjoyment, as well as an opportunity for talented students to express themselves. The band, under the direction of Mr. Walter Conner, part icipated inparades, gave half-time shows at the football games, and played in concerts. They also sent represen- tatives to All- State Band and competed in the State Band Festival. The Choral Club, directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Owen and Mr. Conner, participated in the band- choral club concert, sang in assemblies, and performed at Commencement. Mr. Harvey Jeffreys taught the dramatics class the art of speech-making as well as acting. This year the dramatics class produced the three-act play, You Can ' t Take It With You in November and a one-act play in the spring. Many students enjoyed the art classes taught by Mr. Fredei-ick Heidloff. They not only drew, but they also knitted, wove baskets, and made other creative objects. Larry Newcomb acts out his expressions and lines as Mr. DePinna in a practice of You Can ' t Take It With You. 72 A puppet show, Animal Farm, is given by J. B. Coghill and Jean Poteat to Art I students using paper mache characters. Coach Jackson guards Eddie Crow in a demonstration to the boys ' physical education class of the winning skills of basketball. EDUCATION PROVIDE ENJOYMENT The Physical Education Department not only provides the student with an opportunity for play, but it also gives him the exercise that he needs to be physically fit. Boys and girls in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades are required to take physical education. The physical education directors this year were Mr. Don Jackson, Mr. Don Schley, and Miss Brenda Langdon. The boys and girls alternated with health and classroom instruction one day, and the actual playing of team and individual sports the next. Students had an opportunity to learn to play many different sports in this class. In the fall the boys played football and girls played soccer. Both groups had basketball, tumbling, and volleyball in the winter and softball in the spring. The Physical Education Department also supervised the physical fitness tests which were given to all students. Claude Peterson and Lonnie Woods practice daily body-building ex- ercises in the phy s ic al fitness program of the gym classes. Rebecca Frazier and Dottie Dean oppose Carol Thompson and Linda Johnson in a ping-pong game, one of the team sports played by girls ' physical education classes. 1 BUSINESS DEPARTMENT PREPARES | STUDENTS FOR CAREERS The Business Department at Bluestone offered a variety of courses for 1963-64 that prepared the student for the future so that he may either apply for a job or attend a business school upon graduation. Mr. Berman Scott, Mrs. Sylvia Gurley, and Mr. Don Schley were instructors in the Business Department. Mr. Scott ' s bookkeeping classes gained skill by using practice sets while his office practice students worked with actual office machines. Typing I pupils learned to use the typewriter efficiently, and the students taking Typing II practiced on various business forms and tried to achieve greater speed and accuracy. The first-year shorthand classes concentrated on learning the symbols and writing them correctly, and the second year class concentrated on gaining speed in taking dic- tation and transcribing. Mr. Scott stresses to his bookkeeping students the im- portance of neat and efficient work in business. 74 Barbara Elliott strives for speed and accuracy on a timed writing in Typing II class. The clubs and organizations of Bluestone carry on the tradition of the school in teaching leadership, cooperation, and organization. They bring prestige and honor to the school through competition with other organizations throughout the state. In previous years, the clubs have earned many awards. STUDENTS REPRESENTED SCA OFFICERS--FIRST ROW: Gail Adcock, Secretary; Watt Moore, President; Mr. Donald Propst, Sponsor. SECOND ROW: Marlise Blanks, Reporter; Jimmy Puryear, Vice-President; Donna Accettullo, Trea ' er. The Student Cooperative Association is made up of all Bluestone students. Watt Moore, the president, leads this organization with the help of the executive council and homeroom representatives. All constantly work toward high goals to make the SCA a more per- fect and stable organization. This year the SCA adopted safety as their main objective. To promote this safety program, the SCA sponsored an assembly program. Other projects which have kept these students busy during the year have been a placing plaques at the front of the school, remodeling the showcase, and beginning a campaign to get more bleachers for visi- tors. An important aim of the SCA this year was to make all students feel an important part of the Student Cooperative Association. SCA Sponsors Annual Homecoming 76 THROUGH SCA The SCA sponsored such activities as the White Christmas, May Day Celebration, Home- coming festivities, morning devotions, the bless- ings in the cafeteria, assembly programs, and various projects. The SCA ' s purpose is to continually pro- mote good school spirit and sportsmanship, to improve school morale, and to provide for the general welfare of all Bluestone students. Watt Moore, President Needy helped through the White Christmas program.

A The purpose of the Beta Club, a national service organization, is to encourage scholarship, leader- ship, patriotism, helpfulness, and school spirit. To become a member of this club a student must main- tain a B average in each subject. This year the club members were composed of only juniors and seniors. An impressive induction ceremony was held on December 3, 1963, for the ten new members, who increased the total membership from forty to fifty. This program symbolized the function of a local club in comparison to a strong wheel. A new work program was instituted for the main purpose of making a more active club. Each member was required to earn two points. Among the possible jobs were: posting menus, arranging bulletin boards, and selling cokes at home basketball games. Fifteen delegates attended the State Convention at Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, Virginia, on March 13 and 14.

JOURNALISM FLOURISHES AT BLUESTONE 80 ARLENE AND BOBBY CO-EDIT THE MONITOR The Journalism Club publishes the MONITOR, the monthly school newspaper now in its ninth volume. Reporters won staff positions by a competitive journalism test given in the spring. Advertisements and subscriptions financed the MONITOR, which has yet to be in the red. Each year ' s staff has tried to make improvements in this school publication. A member of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, THE MONITOR sent delegates to the press convention held at Washington and Lee University in April. In the past judging sponsored by SIPA, THE MONITOR has won achievement, honor, and first place awards. OFFICERS: Donna Joy, Sports Editor; Arlene Boswell, Co-Editor; Claire Lewis, Assistant Business Manager; Mary Ann Wood, Business Manager; Bobby Hawkins, Co- Editor; Lannie Crump, Assistant Editor. 81 CULTURAL MAGAZINE CREATED BY STUDENTS Scribblers, organized in 1959, encourages student c r eative writing. Several times a year the staff mimeographs a magazine. The aim of the Scribblers is to present the best creative writing of the students to the school.

The annual staff with Ellen Phillips as editor and Miss Arlene Sheffield as sponsor, began work in September on the 1964 GOLDEN LINK. After learning from the delegates to the 1963 SIPA convention the newest methods in yearbook make-up, the 34 staff members received their layout assignments and began work in earnest. One of the biggest problems, the staff dis- covered, was working the theme into their copy. It was the goal of the members to present an accurate and vivid account of the 1963-64 school year with special emphasis on traditional activities. Ellen Phillips, Editor Betty Thomasson, Assistant Editor 83 I I Layouts and copy were not the only phases of the production of the GOLDEN LINK which required work, however. There was also money to make. Annual sales- men, under circulation manager Ann Wildman brought in nearly $2,000 from the yearbook sales. Bluestone students bought 537 annuals in all. Members also gave up many after-school hours to sell nearly $1,000 worth of advertising space to businessmen in Chase City, Boydton and Clarksville. Photographers Henry Hunter and Frankie Price.

With this as their goal the F.H.A. members worked to develop an understanding and appreciation for the members of their families. Many F.H.A. girls selected a home proj- ect that gave each girl more experience and helped her contribute to better family living. The activities of this year ' s F.H.A. in- cluded a Christmas party for the members and a Mother- Daughter Banquet. One out- standing activity of the F.H.A. was the operation of the concession stand at the foot- ball games as a money-making project. F.H.A. programs with the members taking part, put much emphasis on the degree work, and encouraged members to work for their degrees. These programs also emphasized the correct parliamentary procedure. Judy Riggan, gradell, was elected Presi- dent of the Twin County Federation, and Nora Grey Jones was elected Secretary of the Federation.

Gordon III, a former Bluestone student, held three offices in the FFA chapter including that of president in his senior year. In 1959, he was selected as the Star Farmer of the Bluestone Chapter, and the following year he was the State FFA Foundation award winner for farm mechanics. After completing high school, he enrolled in the school of agriculture at VPI where he is now majoring in animal husbandry. George W. Gordon III The FFA is an intra-curricular activity having its orgin in a definite part of the school cur- riculum. The foundation upon which the Future Farmers of America organization is built includes leadership, character development, sportsmanship, cooperation service, thrift, scholarship, im- proved agriculture, citizenship and patriotism. The FFA motto is LEARNING TO DO, DOING TO LEARN, EARNING TO LIVE, LIVING TO SERVE. No national student organization enjoys greater self-government under adult counsel and guidance than the Future Farmers of America. R. Williamson operates radial saw . . . SPONSORS- -Mr. A. A.

Mr. Clarence Gillispie Director of Transportation The bus drivers devote much of their time to the students at BHS. However, the bus driver ' s responsibilities do not end with the students alone. Their responsibilities begin early in the morning-in many cases before the sun rises. They make a daily check of the bus to be sure it is in safe operation condition before starting on their routes. Upon arrival at school, they fill out the daily bus report and turn it in at the office. During the day they have an opportunity to wash and clean out their bus if they wish. Before leaving school in the afternoon, the drivers clean and inspect their buses again. Their duties are many, and every student depends on the capability of his driver to carry out these duties well. A bus driver ' s job never ends. His is a job that takes 180 days out of every year. Blane meets with drivers. Eddie Bratton, Mr. Edward Blane, Sponsor, Aubrey Eubank, C. L.

Teachers and students alike were surprised to find that the technical work on the projector was being done by the girls of Bluestone as well as the boys. To anyone who might have been skeptical as to their ability, they soon proved themselves to be just as capable and helpful as the boys were. Lannie Crump sets up projector.

The varsity cheerleading squad of 1963-64 did its very best to boost the spirit of the Baron teams and students of B.H.S. The girls practiced new and stimulating cheers for many hours. Their new methods were the result of five squad members ' attendance at cheerleading camp last summer. The cheerleaders returned with the current military- style cheers which helped them to win third place in state competition. The remaining squad members were eager to learn these new yells, and their sponsor, Miss Polly Batts, approved with pleasure. To boost student participation at pep rallies, the cheerleaders presented humorous skits and songs. They took part in parades and sponsored post-game dances. They also placed victory posters in and about the school, and worked hard to decorate the football stadium for home games. No matter what activity the Bluestone cheerleaders participated in, they always strived to support our Barons and cheer them on to victory. . . .So go team With all your might, An other vic-tor-y To-night ! 114 Cheerleaders decorate goal-posts . . .

These girls were Sally Gill, Donna Accettullo, Ellen Newcomb, Ann Reams, and Captain, Suzanne Chandler. They spent the week practicing new cheers and entirely different motions. The camp instructors also presented different ideas for spirited pep rallies, such as amusing skits and songs. These in- structors, who were college cheerleaders, were eager and willing to help. Toward the end of the week the girls won honorable mention with a green ribbon in the semi-final contest. The climax of the stay was the final state competition. The Bluestone cheerleaders, along with girls from fifty-five schools, participated. As a result of their enthusiasm and hard work our cheerleaders won third place in this contest. Sponsor Bates approves cheers at practice- Girls chant Baron song at a game. BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS With the coming of basketball season, the remaining cheerleaders did not cease to practice. They con- tinued to support both the girls ' and boys ' Varsity teams. It is the tradition of the cheer- leaders to allow the seniors of the squad to cheer at all the games. The other girls alternate. This provides a chance for everyone to cheer, and yet gives the seniors an honored privilege. Among the activities of the squad were giving sandwiches and drinks to the teams after some games and promoting good sportsmanship in the crowds.

V. football team chose ten spirited girls to be the 1963-64 Junior-Varsity cheerleaders. Thiswas the third squad of J. V. cheerleaders in the history of B.H.S. These girls cheered faithfully for their team and pro- moted good sportsmanship throughout the foot- ball season. When time came to play basketball, they separated into two squads. Each group had its own captain. The J. V. cheerleaders continued their efforts to encourage the players and to stimulate traditional school spirit. 1 17 . . . Later, urge them to score. J.V.’S HAVE EVEN SEASON Coach Don Schley with Captains Tinker Ashworth and Robert Woltz. The Bluestone J. V.

After starting with only two victories in their first four games, the Barons improved tremendously winning their next six games. Bluestone set a district record by giving up only twelve points in district competition. After getting off to a mediocre start, coaches Don Jackson and O. B. Crowder, Jr. didn ' t let team spirit die. Both coaches and players worked even longer and harder than they had before, buckling down and playing some tremendous football for the rest of the season. Injuries to players also handicapped Bluestone in the begin- ning of the season. Captain Watt Moore with two broken hands was a key injury. Also injured were David Griffth, Peter Davis, and JimmvxPuryjtar. COACHES: Don Jackson, O. B. Crowder, Jr. C ' SC 1963 - 64 BARON KNEELING: David O ' Brien, Harry Elam, H. J.

To the eleven girls chosen by the football team as members of the Homecoming Court, it means anight never to be forgotten. During halftime October 18, the 1963 Court was introduced, and Peggy Jo Elam, the senior member with the most votes from the football squad, was crowned the Homecoming Queen. To the players of the football team, homecoming means a special game. This year the Barons downed their opponents, Victoria, with a 13-0 score. To returning alumni, it means a reunion with classmates and a glimpse of their alma mater. Homecoming, observed this year on October 18, 1963, began with a parade on that Friday afternoon. Following the game against Victoria ' s Panthers, a dance in the gymnasium ended the 1963 Homecoming festivities. 127 HOMECOMING, A TRADITION The Court cheers for the second touchdown.
