Pe : - ae GRADUATION Saying good-bye — it isn’t going to be as easy as we thought it would be. There are so many reasons to stay, so many times to relive. The do-you remember moments of past events; events never to return. The saddest part of all being that there is no returning. The friends we have found and lost along the way, the good times and the bad, are all forever gone. Tomorrow awakens us to a different world, one in which we find ourselves standing alone; alone without the comfort of home and loved ones to fall back upon. Your new companion — the memories you have saved over the years, the only link connecting you with faded days. And we will remember; years from now time will grasp hold. — You'll look around to see how far you may have come, and realize the time that was, is no more. So with clouded eyes and trembling hands, we begin our journey, glancing back only once. Afraid to let go, yet knowing what must be will be — knowing that for us the past has begun.

This — spirit was exhibited by all the 52 boys who dressed for the first ballgame. This year was a learning year for the Blue Knights. The boys were young, inexperienced but willing to try. They made mistakes in crucial situations because they were green on the grid- iron. Coach Rowland said that their squad must drop the attitude of ging up when they fell behind. — The highlight of the disappointing season was the last game, played | against Rye Cove on thei ne : The Blue Knights played their best game and victory was close, but the final score was a gs 20-14. yr a promising season. They won only one game, but lost three very close encounters by only one touchdown. They played Appalachia, the district’s best JV team, losing 34-18, which was the closest oe me anyone gave Appala- chia all year. Tosum it up, the 78-79 football sea- son was all but glorious for the Coe- burn Blue Knights. In spite of that, “The Blue Knights will ride again!”’ aes A BSE UG Wik 11 x42 ge 170.4 iat “US 22 COMING HOME The Homecoming court consisted of Cathy Buchanan, Debbie Stanley, Karen Yeary, Denise Bran- ham, Pam Franks, and Kim Dingus. Their escorts were: Roby Rothwell, Tyrone Hairston, Charlie Davis, David Gilbert, Danny Carico, and John Hall. Despite the Booster Club's effort to get people to come to the game, only a few showed up. The Drama students presented a ‘‘fifty’s day’’ festivity at the Homecoming pep rally. The big laugh came when the skirts flew up and the words ‘‘Blue Moon”’ were seen. The game ended with a loss of 42-0. At the half time of the game against Appalachia, Cathy Buchanan was crowned Homecoming Queen. 23 MOTHER, JUGS, SPEED The Lady Blue Knights tried hard, but their record was discouraging. Mrs. Horton stated that the varsity girl’s basketball team was ‘‘allergic to winning.’’ They slaughtered Norton in both games, but lost all others. They played extremely close games against Clintwood and Appalachia, losing by only a few points in the last seconds of the tense, exciting games. The varsity girls had a lot of talent and potential. They learned quickly, played aggressively, and held a true desire to win. Their season wasn’t per- fect, but the girls put forth a lot of effort. They expect Lady Luck to be on their side next year, and hope for a better season. The junior varsity team had a fairly good year. They started off the season by winning three ballgames in a row, but as the year progressed, their luck ran out. They finished up the season with six exciting wins. They played their best game against Norton, losing by only one point in overtime. The girls had a lot of spirit and cooperation which was the key to their success. Their main problem was foul- ing too much in the excitement of the game, but Coach Ringley made them run five laps for each foul. The junior varsity girls look forward to next year with high hopes because they have many young talented players return- ing. 25 26 GE CASTLES On December 16, 1978 the seniors of CHS sponsored the annual Christmas party for the juniors and seniors. The theme was the Snowball and the evening’s musical entertainment was a disco supplied by Jeff Kiser. The dance was topped off by the crowning of David Pate and Karen Yeary as Knight and Maiden. 2 vate 27 ONE ON ONE The Blue Knight VARSITY basketball team dribbled their way to a 15-7 overall record for the exciting 78-79 season and finished a rousing third in the LPD with a 9-5 record. Everyone was very proud of the Knights who defeated every team in the district at least once. They were also third in the Coal Classic tournament, with start- ers David Pate and Billy Fleenor honored for their fine | performances on the court. The most exciting, heart-stopping game of the season was the home battle against arch-rival, Norton, when Coeburn won in thrilling double overtime by a score of 85- 83. Coach Harris’ potent squad was paced by senior Mark Holbrook who received an all-district award. It is said that Coeburn had the most potential talent in the district, but often lacked intestinal fortitude (guts). The team was well- balanced with all starters in double-figures and excellent talent coming back for next year. The JUNIOR VARSITY basketball team was outstand- ing under the coaching of David Lee. They had a district record of 12-2, losing both games to Norton, and an over- all record of 15-2. They became district champions by beating Norton by one glorious shot in overtime. These young sharpshooters should certainly be an asset to Coe- burn in the years to come. All in all, the Blue Knights had a great basketball sea- son and will be even greater next year! 28 a ie THE WIZ The Coeburn High School Forensic Team was - extremely successful this year. The sponsors, Mrs. _ Dorothy Quillin and Mrs. Coleen Bevins, were always generous with their praise and inspiration, and, if - needed criticism. Students were chosen to represent our high school in all nine categories at the district contest in Appalachia. Everyone placed and the first and second-place winners went on to compete at the Regional Forensic Meet in Wise. Five CHS students won first or second and became eligible for state- level competition in Charlottesville. There the Coeburn winners were challenged by students from all the state _ in the demanding Single-A category. Only one survived the ordeal that Saturday morning, receiving a proud © third place in girl’s original oratory.

Giles Ralston (Terry Bond) as Mollie’s no-nonsense husband, has his hands full with all the bothersome, mysterious guests. Chris Wren (Sylvia Evans, drama instruc- tor) posing as a female architect, is persecuted by the other guests throughout the play. Mrs. Boyle (Patty Roberts) was such a provokingly rude old woman that she was promptly murdered at the end of Act |. Patty received the award for Best Actor for this role. Major Metcalf (Greg Osborne) was a precise old chap and actually a policeman posing to uncover the strange events at Monkswell Manor. Miss Casewell (Robin Gil- bert) was a sultry young woman who withheld her fiery emotions until the thrilling climax of the play. Mr. Paravicini (Roby Rothwell) was a mysteri- ous foreigner who just happened in out of the raging snowstorm and kept the audience very suspicious. Detective Sergeant Trotter (Mark Roberts) was a very credible imposter; actually one of the three children from Lon- gridge Farm plotting revenge. 32 rn of a F Q f v | | | The Drama Class Presents MOUSE TRAP A A oe ee ee” 6 an ae oe i ee | an og a i ae” ee Ml a Ae oe ee The Coeburn Drama students performed their first play of the season, Agatha Christie’s ‘‘Mousetrap”’ on January 10, and 11. As the curtain opened, the audience saw the living room of an English guest’s house called Monkswell Manor. The play revolved around three children who has been placed in a home at Longridge Farm by a magistrate named Mrs. Boyle. They were badly mistreated and starved; one child subsequently died. Years later, one of the surviving children begins searching for those responsible for placing them in the foster home. t 33 “ON THE SIDEWALK BLEEDING” written directed by Sylvia Evans with Patty Roberts as the student director. ‘‘Patty was instrumental in the success of this play,’’ said Miss Evans. ‘‘She made the cast tow the line.’ Although Miss Evans did not feel the class as ready to compete in the one-act Play Festival, the class voted to attend. They won in district and regional events and went on to state. In all three contests, judges praised the skill of Gina Hall. Gina and Roby Rothwell tied as Best Performers from this play. “THE TROLL WHO BELIEVED IN PEOPLE”’ written by Charles W. Lewis, directed by Sylvia Evans with Clay Powers as student director. ‘‘The Troll’’ was a departure from the dramatic plays the class had presented over the past two years, and the class worried about its rejection by a high school audience. However, the comical fantasy turned out to be the hit of the year. Again, the entire class was used. Robin Gilbert struct terror as the wicked Queen while Roby Rothwell as the King was her kind counterpart. J. K. Greear, as the Troll and Patty Roberts as the little princess enchanted the audience. The slapstick characters of Oswald and Gunther (Tammy Burton and Donna Baker) lent comedy as did a cartoon-like dog (Lori Johnson). However, the show belonged to the Queen’s bumbling cohort, Tyrone Hairston, who was chosen the play’s Best Performer. 35 NT 36 HALLOWEEN Through the combined efforts of the French and Spanish Clubs, the annual Mardi Gras Fiesta was held in the cafeteria on March 16. Early in the eve- ning, the Grand March was held and the costumes were judged. Lisa Davis as Sylvester the cat and Debbie Dandy as a scare crow were chosen for the most creative costumes. FRENCH SPANISH A large number of students attended the festival and won prizes in the dance contests to the beat of disco music by Grand Central Station from Roanoke. The officers-elect of both clubs for the 1979-80 school year were announced and gifts were presented to the sponsors, Ms. Jessee and Ms. Hall. 37 THE STING Coeburn High School has always been known for an outstanding girl's tennis team, and this year was no exception. Many thought that the loss of Debbie Steele, would put Coeburn under the weather, but the team proved different. Entering the district tournament with a 12 - O record, they upped it to 13 - 0 to take the district with a 5 - win over Clintwood. The regional tournament saw more action with Clintwood. This time the competition stiffened, but Coeburn still came out on top with a 5 — 1 win. All of the top six positions were held by seniors. The top three seats were held by girls of equal potential — Libby Nickels, Pam Lawson, and Robin Gilbert. However, Nickels kept the top seat and was later awarded Most Valuable Player of the Year. Two of the girls held undefeated records all through regionals for 3 consecutive years. They were Robin Gilbert and Norma Peters. Ten players are named to the All- District team. Four of them were from Coeburn. They were Libby Nickels, Pam Lawson, Robin Gilbert, and Norma Peters. All were undefeated in regular season. From top picture, Robin Gilbert, Libby Nickels, and Norma Peters held unde- feated records for 3 years during their district games. 38 t y 8 H = 4 : é 4 ‘ .

They had at last reached the pin- nacle of 12 years of hard work. The program began as the seniors were ushered in with the processional, ‘‘Pomp and Circum- stance.’’ The National Anthem was sung by all and then a devotional was given by Roby Rothwell, the senior class vice-president. The salutatory message was delivered by Rita Hale, and followed by the sen- ior class message by Mark Holbrook, senior class president and co-valedictorian. The senior choir sang a delightful medley of songs accompanied by Craig Hawkins on the piano. Then the student coun- cil speech was given by Terry Bond, president of this organization. Betty Smith, co-valedictorian, pre- sented her valedictory message. The commencement address was delivered by Ms. Bonnie Elosser, the Dean of Students at Clinch Val- ley College. After Ms. Elosser finished her excellent speech, Mr. Danny Greear, principal, and Mr. Steve Hubbard, assistant principal, began the proud pres- entation of the diplomas to the seniors. The new graduates marched out during the reces- sional, ‘‘March from Aida.’’ The Class of 1979 departed, ready to conquer the world.
