Blacksville, West Virginia 1976 Washington Crossing the Delaware 1776 They Fought for Their Identity ALMA MATER We're the school That's just below the Mason Dixon Line With our colors Gray and Blue As in our sports we shine Swell the chorus Let it echo Over hill and dale Hail to thee Our Alma Mater Hail to Clay-Battelle 1 As We Must Fight for Our Identity 2 Liberanni 776-131b Liberanni Clay-Battelle High School Blacksville, West Virginia Identity — They Fought for Theirs — We Fight for Ours We hold these truths to be self-evident; that while all men don't think, act, or look alike, all men deserve the same respect and consideration. By ignoring this truth and refusing the American Colonies representation in Parliament, George III committed one of his most serious political blunders. Far from Europe and alienated from the monarch that ruled them, the American people developed a system of government wherein all men were equal and rulers were actually subject to the people through an electoral process. This government was unique at that time, but became a pattern for succeeding democratic governments. The things our nation accomplished gave us a national identity. Likewise, our accomplishments, the clubs we join, the friends we make, the honors we receive, and the extracurricular activities in which we participate in high school tell others who we are. Seeking Identity” is the theme of the 1976 Liberanni. We have tried to produce a record of the people and events that made the 1975-76 school year different from all others. We hope you’ll enjoy it.

The 1975 Junior-Senior Prom was all mystery and romance from the very start. The Mansion House” provided the perfect atmosphere for memories to grow. The band, Wheatfield Circusplayed well, and unlike the band from the year before -showed up. Many of us weren’t as fortunate as the band though. Do you remember missing the Route 18 turnoff and driving for miles before you realized it? The Prom Queen and her attendants were chosen in the fairest way possible. The escorts each took a rose from the wishing well that sat to the right of the runway, and the candidates unwrapped them. Most candidates remember unwrapping a yellow rose. There were two pink roses that determined who the attendants were, and one red rose that determined the Queen. Geneva Conner unwrapped that rose. Crown Bearer and Flower Girl, Ron and Lisa Ammons. PROM QUEEN GENEVA CONNER Susan Simpson - ATTENDANTS - Louie Rogers 86 1975 Prom Philip Clark shares a secret with Jenny Hostutler. Do you remember the paper cup you used being wet before you used it? Had it been washed? Do you remember drinking spiked punch? Don't worry, it either went so fast most of us didn’t get any, or it never existed. Did you go somewhere afterward and do something with friends, or did you just drive off into the night - into the rain with someone special. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce dance to the music furnished by Wheatfield Circus.” Betty Moore and Leslie Owens are taking a break from the excitement. Louie Rogers and Bonnie Fox waiting for the coronation. 87 The 50’s Return to CBHS The highlight of Homecoming Week activities was Fifties Day. On Wednesday, October 10, the halls of Clay-Battelle were filled with bobby socks, rolled-up jeans, long pleated skirts and ponytails. Almost everyone wore a typical 50's day outfit and could be seen giving the thumbs up sign. At the end of the day, a dance, sponsored by the newspaper staff, was held in the old gym. All CB teeny-boppers danced the Bunny Hop and Jitterbug to some golden oldies. The disc jockey for the hop was none other than our very own Wolfman Wally. Friday was designated Silence Day at C.B.H.S. All morning the students and faculty were to remain silent to preserve all their energy for the BEAT FA1RVIEW pep rally held that afternoon. At the pep rally, the cheerleaders displayed the spirit chains, which represented the number of pennies they collected from each class. The Sophomore class collected $50.00 and had the longest chain supporting 5,000 links. 88 Homecoming Week Climaxed With Victory Over Fairview 89 Homecoming ’75 Is QUEEN - Penny Ammons ATTENDANTS - Betty Moore and Tammy Ronk 1st ROW: Lynn Stewart, Jeff Chisler, Greg Swisher, Buddy Beach, Tod Moore, John Copeland, Tim Moore, Richard Cosner, Carla Lewis, Clyde Lewis, Allen Huggins, Rick Fitzgerald, Dave Long, Roger Seaman, Eric Ammons, Rod Moore, Brad Fischer. 2nd ROW: Julie Beach, Denita Rush, Beverly Salisbury, Debbie Nunley, Janet Jenkins, Shirley Bowman, Earlene Eddy, Diane Long, Geneva Conner, Sue Mercer, Pam Tuttle, Bonnie Fox, Louie Rogers, Elizabeth DeVine, Jo Vamer, Monica Brewer, Brenda Walls. 3rd ROW: Cliff Wilson, Tammy Ronk.

After a week of drizzling rain the football field was a sea of mud and even as Penny Ammons was being crowned Homecoming Queen for 1975 she had to be protected from the rain by an umbrella and was sinking alowly into the muddy field. Tammy Ronk was voted by the football team to be first runner up and Betty Jo Moore was second runner up. The Homecoming dance which followed was a semi-formal affair and the music was provided by a local group, The Subway. The first dance of the evening was started by Queen Penny and her escort, Bill Eddy. It seemed like this dance was plagued with many lovers quarrels” but everyone seemed to enjoy the festivities inspite of everything. An Autumn Spectacular Donna M. Simpson and Belinda Myers bump to the music. Music provided by “The Subway”.

The highlight of the evening cafne when the homemade pinata, made by Pam Tuttle, was broken, spilling candy all over the dance floor.

The FHA and FFA were the sponsors. Susan Simpson was chosen queen by opening an envelope that contained red hearts. Senior girls of the FHA were the only ones able to run for queen. A bag of balloons was suspended from the middle of the gym. The bag burst as Queen Susan Simpson and her escort Tom Eddy danced beneath it. The Valentine spirit, which emanated from the colorful decorations and the rosy punch bowl, gave the gym an atmosphere of love and romance.

The entertainment was given by the band ’’Clancy. The Prom Queen and her attendants were chosen in the fairest way possible. Each candidate’s escort took a rose from a stand which sat in the middle of the ballroom, and the escorts unwrapped the roses. There were 19 yellow roses, two pink roses and one red rose.

The members of the club are made up of students who are presently enrolled in a drama class or have been in the past years. This year the students of the drama class presented the comedy Everybody Loves Opal by John Patrick. This three act play focused on the value of friendship. Its main character. Opal, was played by Pam Tuttle. Opal was an elderly lady alone in the world except for her cat, Mister Tanner. The supporting cast consisted of Beverly Salisbury, Eddie Delaney, and Russ Moore. They played three crooks whose motives were to collect Opal's life insurance money after doing her in. The other performers were Norman Eddy, who played a young policeman and Eddie Huggins, the doctor. 153 Apprentice Thespians Practicing the Art An Apprentice Thespian is one who is learning the creative art of expressing himself by acting. During the first semester of the 1975-76 school year, the Apprentice Thespians showed their dramatic skills and abilities in a play entitled ’’You Can’t Take It With You.” Since the play called for many characters, students from the senior high department (Eddie Delaney, Bruce Haught, Russ Moore, and Greg Swisher) had parts as well. The plot of the story dealt with the Kirby and Sycamore families, and how money affected their lives. The junior high cast members included Eric Ammons, Rebecca Baker, Donnie Berry, Kevin Brewer, Cheryl Conner, Carol Eddy, John Hunnell, Mark Kuhn, Todd Moore, Jenny Myers, Cheryl Shriver, Donna M. Simpson, Randy Stiles, Terry Tennant, and Nancy Thomas. 1st ROW: Mr. Staggers. Sponsor, Kim Williams, Cheryl Shriver, Lorri Yost, Donna A.
