They were in the classroom, urging students to learn for them¬ selves, but providing guidance and encouragement for the confused. They were staying after school to help plan student ac¬ tivities— Mu Alpha Theta meet¬ ings, Junior-Senior Prom deco¬ rations, and assembly rehearsals. They were helping the school when few realized it: one strugg¬ ling for hours with the Junior- Senior ballroom ' ’ceiling and working daily in the school store, the other assuming responsibility for senior candy sales or quieting the halls with her booming voice. For their rewarded work, for their unrewarded work, and es¬ pecially for the hours of dedication that will never be heard of, the 1963 HALISCOPE is dedicated to Miss Erna Glasscock and Miss Mildred Henderson. 6 7 ae mtd sMs Dimension Camera 10 A picture is an expression of a past incident, dark if the camera had no light, hazy if it had no focus, and flat if it had no dimension. This an¬ nual, Camera 10, seeks to picture the tenth year of Halifax County High School. There is focus-- one on the students, the core of the school ' s existence. There is light--the learning which illuminates the students and gives them purpose. There is dimension--activities and sports which furnish depth. And so the picture becomes a vivid memory as a year, a film with only the number 1963, passes through Camera 10. 9 Learning was present in 1963, as in every school year— stimulating or relaxing. iilP ass a..--, ■ ' - ■.3@Mpj iisilll; ■ ■ ■ ' I ■ 1 ■ ■ ■ ■ ' . £ . • .

C. H. S. were the S. C. A. of 1963. 19 Students participated in assemblies ranging from the informative, to the entertaining, to the solemn. 1 20 And now that year remains only a memory in I i 22 pictures, in hearts, and in the annual of 1963 . 23 24 MR Curricula Light from the faculty and administration, making the dull interesting, the difficult challenging... 25 26 Mr. R.

This did not, however, take up all of their busy schedules. Their other duties included administer¬ ing various examinations, meeting and talk¬ ing to parents of students, and helping stu¬ dents in various other ways, according to Miss Jane Blackwell, Guidance Department chairman. This year ' s testing program began in October with the administering of DAT, STEP, and SCAT tests to students in the eighth, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) was given in October. Then, with the second semester came more tests. On Saturday, March 2, College Board Examinations were given to the col¬ lege-bound juniors of H.C.H.S. and a few stu¬ dents from Bluestone and Parkview high schools. In addition, the department repeat¬ ed this test in May. The following Saturday, 75 eligible jun¬ iors and seniors took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The Guidance Department has also given special tests to individuals. Another service which the Guidance De¬ partment performs is that of meeting and talking to the parents of H.C.H.S. students to supply useful information. The first meet¬ ing of this kind this year was one for the parents of college-bound juniors. Then the guidance staff met with the parents of eighth- grade students. At this meeting, members of the department explained to the parents the programs offered in high school, the testing program and the importance of good study habits and regular attendance. Miss Jane Blackwell, chairman of the Guidance Department, helps Jimmy Bradshaw with the problem of selecting the right courses for his high school work. 31 Mr. J. R.

Hudson Vocational Agriculture V.P.I., B.S. One of theprojects of the Agriculture Department, building the steelframe for a pickup truck, is being work¬ ed on by Larry Fears, Kenneth Waller, Eddie Moorefield, Eugene Montgomery, and Jerry Puryear. Sam Carr and Ronald Loftis are busy sanding the gun rack which they made in shop, a part of their agriculture class. While various students operated ma¬ chines that hummed away steadily in the Vo-Ag. shop, other agriculture students were bus y studying classroom materials. In the shop, boys learned the basic fun¬ damentals of arc-welding, tool-fitting, electricity, wood-work, and tractor maintenance. In the classroom, boys learned proper methods of cultivation and harvesting and the care of farm an¬ imals. In 1962- ' 63, agriculture classes were divided into four main groups. Vo-Ag. I contained 60 students divided into three sections and Vo-Ag. II contained 40 stu¬ dents divided into two sections. Vo-Ag. Ill contained three sections totaling 50 boys, while Vo-Ag. IV was comprised of two sections with 43 boys. In addition, one eighth grade general course was taught. Five competent teachers and three student instructors guided students in a course designed to aid young boys who plan to farm after graduation, to aid stu¬ dents who plan to take up agriculture in college, and to aid young farmers become established in proper farming methods. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the annual F.F.A. rally at V.P.I. Only the top students of the agriculture class¬ es were allowed to attend. F.F.A. Rally Highlighted Vo-Ag. Year Mr. T.

Classes open to students this year in¬ cluded Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, general business, recordkeeping, and book¬ keeping. Typing I and II were open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Shorthand I and II were taken by juniors and seniors. Sophomores, juniors, or seniors could take general busi¬ ness, while only juniors could take record¬ keeping, and only seniors could take book¬ keeping. Advanced senior typists in shorthand transcription classes typed for the STAR and HALISCOPE, as well as several departments. No office practice was offered in the business department this year because of lack of space. Sponsors Chairman, Business Education Department Anita Traynham cuts the paper she needs for composition problems in typing class. 34 Mrs. Mary Jane Fletcher Recordkeeping; Typing Elon College, A.B.

The Art Department of H.C.H.S. offered courses to students in every grade and creat¬ ed more interest in art with the organization of the first Art Club here. In studying the fundamentals of art, spe¬ cial emphasis was placed upon drawing, which was often done in pencil or charcoal. Stu¬ dents experimented with such techniques as M fresco M , which is water color on wet plaster, and water-painting on velvet. Advanced art students did oil painting, while all students made designs and drawings with pin and India ink. The Music Department is composed of the Senior and Beginner Bands, as well as the Concert Choir and the choir is composed of ninth grade girls. Important events of the Music Depart¬ ment ' s year were at Christmas and Easter, when the band and choirs gave concerts of seasonal music. The band had the honor of receiving an invitation from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to play in the Sun-Fun Festival, which lasted three days. In order to raise money for the trip, members of the band sold doughnuts. Several Concert Choir members were a part of the All-State Chorus which had a con¬ vention in February. The kettle drums create a deep background for each fnusical selection in which they play a part. 37 Pictures of French town life interest Pam King and Phyllis Cassada, second year French students.

S. promoted interest in travel and for¬ eign affairs. Spanish, Latin, and French, the languages offered, also added enthusiasm at school during Language Week in May when an assembly, among other activities took place. Spanish offered students courses in both conversational and classical Spanish. Stu¬ dents of Spanish joined the Spanish Club which entered a float in the Christmas parade at Halifax and had a dance in May. As Latin students learned the importance of the language in life today, they also con¬ tributed to the school by making a Latin na¬ tivity scene for the lobby showcase at Christ¬ mas, and by publishing Latin newspapers. During Latin week, the first week in March, second year students were the masters of first year students. French students published a French newspaper and stressed the importance of their language during French Week in the spring. Outstanding French students became members of the French Honor Society. 38 Mrs. Elizabeth J. Harding English; Latin Mary Washington College, B.S. F.T.A.

Linda Spainhour and Gayle Bomar set a breakfast table under their teacher ' s supervision. Homemakers Learned Family Budgeting M In spite of the fact that there were only 5 00 students enrolled in home economics and sociology classes, it is very important, commented Miss Erna Shotwell, head of the Home Economics Department. Not only does this department teach one to be a better fu¬ ture homemaker, but also an understanding member of his family. Each year the Home Economics Depart¬ ment purchases approximately $500 worth of books and modern equipment. Students tak¬ ing home economics serve at banquets and learn to sew, cook, and manage a family bud¬ get. In addition to classes in home economics, the department offers a course in family so¬ ciology for boys and girls. ■i • 40 Mrs. Annie Belle Daniel Home Economics Longwood College, B.S.

A concentrated program of composition was introduced to students in English classes this past year. From these compositions, teachers chose the most outstanding ones which were submitted to a faculty-student committee for consideration for publication in a literary magazine. Three English teachers, Miss Priscilla Morse, Miss Nancy Carmack, and Mr. William Young studied one night a week for Masters of Arts in teaching at Duke Univer¬ sity in addition to teaching their classes dur¬ ing the day. In accelerated tenth grade English class¬ es, paperback books in addition to regular literature books were used for the first time. This experiment was considered satisfactory by both teachers and students. Also, the rental of books in all English classes was continued. The class of speech arts was reinstituted in the curriculum this year while the classes of 12 J and 11 J English disappeared. Mrs. Elizabeth C.

This year there were six eighth grade classes and four ninth grade classes. Also there was one tenth grade class, one eleventh grade class and one twelfth grade class. This year the industrial arts classes used mostly metal works. However, they did make wooden things, and some ma¬ chines which were used to make other machines. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade classes installed, set up, cleaned, and repaired the machines. During the sec¬ ond semester, the boys used these ma¬ chines. Making candle holders in metal work and footstools and chairs in wood work, were a part of the eighth and ninth grade program. All of the things made were displayed during open house, which took place at the end of the year. Mr. Henry Harrison Industrial Arts Mechanical Drawing Clemson College, B.S.

Plane geometry, Algebra I and II, college algebra, solid geometry, trigonometry, and general math were the subjects in math of¬ fered to students this past year. In these classes, students puzzled over theorems, equations, and other baffling topics; most even saw the end of the year with passing marks. More students took college algebra, a college preparatory course, than ever be¬ fore. Students taking solid geometry, trigono¬ metry, plane geometry, and Algebra II in the coming year may find a change in the classes. To combine Algebra II and trigonometry and to combine plane geometry with solid geome¬ try was a topic discussed by representatives of the faculty, the administration, and the school board. All math students next year will be using new textbooks. This past year, Miss Erna Glasscock, chairman of the Math Department, and an¬ other teacher from the department, attended meetings of department heads once a week with Principal J. Marshall Swanson. After these meetings, a meeting of all the math teachers was called at which the same topics were discussed. Math Week was held in May to create an interest in math, which is often thought of as a dull subject. Displays from all the math classes were distributed throughout the school. 47 Mr. James Hamrick Physical Education; Health Eton College, A.B.

The students taking this course had to be at least fifteen years old and have a learner ' s or a driver ' s license. They had to have the permission of their parents and had to have finished the book on driver ' s training which is taught in the ninth grade. They also had to pay a fee of $3.

Chairman, Science Department Science Club Advisor Anew science curriculum and new equip¬ ment became a part of the Science Depart¬ ment this year. Beginning with the 1962- ' 63 eighth grad¬ ers, the program consisted of one-half year of biology and one-half year of earth-space science. Next year’s ninth graders will take a half year of chemistry, and a half year of physics. This is the minimum amount of science required for aperson to be graduated. The equipment added to the department was very much needed. Some of the equip¬ ment purchased was a portable windicator, a metallic barometer, an electric Geiger counter, and a Wimhurst static machine, which produces static e le c t r i c it y. Two globes, one a terrestrial full meridian globe, and the other a celestial one, were also pur¬ chased. Mr. Gay W. Valentine, a trained exhibits manager from Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, this year presented an assembly pro¬ gram entitled ’’This Atomic World”. In this program the subjects of atomic structure, the nucleus and radio-activity, radiation bi¬ ology, fission and fusion were discussed. He also lectured to advanced sicence classes the day he was present at H.C.H.S. Mr. Bill Gilgo Science Citadel, B.S.

This year in our social studies class¬ es we have tried to keep abreast with the fast moving changes of today’s world, stated Mrs. Mary McLaughlin, chairman of the department. We also have taught comparative governments in order that students might understand communism more fully, and evaluate its threat. To learn as much as possible about communism, all teachers in the depart¬ ment read one book each month and met to discuss the book. United States government classes adopted an outline of communism study re¬ commended by the State Board of Educa¬ tion. This study, which included the use of sets of three textbooks dealing with com¬ munism as compared to democracy, was taught in a joint class by two teachers for eight weeks. Local civic organizations gave money to buy the textbooks. The Quiz Kids continued to test their knowledge of current events against that of other area high school students. Undefeat¬ ed, by March they had won $100 in defense bonds. United States and world history stu¬ dents furthered their knowledge by visiting places of historical interest and by con¬ tinuing the use of the television course. 52 The H.C.H.S.

Club Advisor Vocational Students Serve School The Vocational Department at H.C.H.S. is made up of three groups: the distributive education classes, the practical nursing classes, and the industrial cooperative train¬ ing classes. Distributive education classes are de¬ signed to train young men and women for full time employment in a distributive occupation after graduation, either in retail, wholesale, or service establishments. The practical nursing class at H.C.H.S. is a seventeen month course that trains sen¬ ior girls and adults to meet the needs of the nursingprofession. At the completion of this course, the student receives the diploma of a practical nurse. The Industrial Cooperative Training Pro¬ gram is for qualified juniors and seniors who want training in technical and medical occu¬ pations. The overall objective of this pro¬ gram is to train students for future employ¬ ment in these fields. The students in the Vocational Depart¬ ment perform many services for the school with their projects. They occupy many jobs throughout the county in many different fields. 54 Mr. Cary Blain, D.O. Club advisor, is instructing Betty Ann Dejarnette in the problems of working outside school. Nursing has become an important class at H.C.H.S. Here, Nancy Smith is taking the heartbeat of Ruth Davis while Mary Conner and Faye Jennings take her blood pressure. 55 56 Seniors Focus on the upperclassmen—seniors, center of much of the school’s activity, graduating into a fuzzy, uncertain world ... 57 Graduation causes excitement among Senior Class officers.

Marshall Swanson are class officers Kitt Camp¬ bell, vice-president; Jean Snead, secretary; Ricky Harrell, president; Margaret Murphy, reporter; Russell Lindley, treasurer; and Tommy Fisher, sergeant-at-arms. The Junior Class Durii gtheir first year as upper-class¬ men, j uniors began to dominate H.C.H.S. activities. Through work and study in the classroom and active participation in the S.C.A. and clubs, eleventh graders prepared for their upcoming roles as seniors, leaders of the school. They were eligible for such honors as membership in the National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll. A big event in the junior year of the Class of 1964 was the trip to the State Capi¬ tol. In January four buses of eleventh grade American history students toured Richmond. In preparation for the social highlight of the school year, the Junior-Senior Prom, the Junior Class early in the year began raising money. Money-making projects in¬ cluded sponsoring a dance after a ballgame and sponsoring the fall production Janie . Later they turned to selling candy as a source of profit. In honor of Principal J. M. Swanson, the eleventh grade presented a surprise assem¬ bly, This Is Your Life, Mr. Swanson . In this unique program, juniors portrayed two memorable scenes from Mr. Swanson’s life, and introduced friends whom he had not seen for thirty-five years. The presentation of a gold plaque to the principal climaxed the assembly. Finally on May 4, after many hours of planning, painting, and much other frantic preparation, juniors completed the trans¬ formation of the H.C.H.S. gym into a Paris wonderland. Paris in the Spring was the theme of the 1963 Junior-Senior Prom. The Thunderbird All-Stars , a combo from Hampden-Sydney provided music for the gala evening. 102 Shirlyn Adams Marjorie Ammons Billy Anderson Howard Anderson Wayne Anderson Mae Atkins Harold Bailey Aubrey Bane Many Juniors Are In Advanced Classes Lena Barksdale Joe Barlow Don Bebber Rebecca Betterton JoAnne Blackstock Ben Blanks Carolyn Blanks Nancy Blanks Rebecca Blanks Ernie Bo mar Larry Bomar James Bowen 103 Anne Bradley Peggy Bradley Carol Bradshaw Julian Branstetter Ricky Brown Sharon Brown Dean Bruno Sharon Buchanan The Class Of ’64 Had Many Activities Wayne Buchanan Hilda Burton Ronnie Burton Kitt Campbell Sandra Carden Paul Carlson Helen Carr Charlotte Carroll Charles Carter Leo Carter Rupert Chandler Linda Chaney 104 William L.

Reaching the midpoint of their high school life, the Sophomore Class began to take an active part in H.C.H.S. activities. For the first time many tenth graders dominated the reporting positions on the school publications. Another first in this field is that the sopho ¬ mores were eligible to go to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York with the journalism class. With many thoughts turning toward the highlight of their H.C.H.S. career, the Junior- Senior Prom, the sophomores had several money-making projects. The class spon¬ sored a dance after a game and an assembly program in February. Presenting a typical day of television, many of the students par- ticipated in sketches portraying ’’The Beverly Hillbillies,” The Edge of the World,” a’’Presidential Press Conference,” and the famed ’’Doctor Kiljoy.” Preparing in advance for the days after graduation, the tenth graders have begun to feel a closeness with their classmates and a high sense of cooperation and willingness to work.

School life takes an important lead when students reach the ninth grad e. They become more involved in extra-curricular activities such as joining clubs, going out for sports, and taking part in various other phases of Halifax County High School. This is the year that the top scholars are eligible for member¬ ship in the Junior National Honor Society. To build up their treasury for their Junior- Senior Prom in 1965, the Freshman Class sold calendars and sponsored a dance after a basketball game„ Under the direction of Mrs. Paulita Patterson, the students produced the annual May Day Program. The ninth grade, which has the largest number of students at H. C.H. S., was very active in S. C. A. work and served on many committees in other student organizations. Members of the first class to be introduced to the audio-lingual Spanish program, many freshmen took part in the accelerated math, science, and foreign language programs.

Donna ' s escort is Ned Strange. 139 Eighth grade officers are (FIRST ROW) Harry Owen, president; Mary Sue Morgan, treasurer; Bruce Mar¬ shall, sergeant-at-arms; (SECOND ROW) Paula Ed¬ munds, vice-president; Paige Brinkley, reporter; and Melissa Wimbish, secretary. Eighth graders from the nine elementary schools gradually adapt to the life of high school students at H.C.H.S. The newcomers spend their first year of high school taking a general course of study and gradually be¬ ginning to understand the responsibilities and to solve the problems of a class. This year eighth graders were the first to participate in a new program in the Science Department. This program consisted of one-half year of earth science plus one-half year of biology. To help finance the Junior-Senior Prom for ’66, the class sponsored a dance after the first basketball game in December. They also presented an assembly in May called ’’The Life of an Eighth Grader, a satire on the mistakes and problems that the class had met during the year. It was one of the largest classes ever to attend H.C.H.S. Entering H. C. H. S.

Serves Students And Faculty Of the various organizations in H.C.H.S., the S.C.A., or Student Cooperative Association, is probably the most important and most active one. It sponsored many activities such as the Home¬ coming parade and dance, the Christmas drive, in which items for needy people were collected, and the Topsy Turvey dance. In addition to this, the S.C.A. contributed $100 to the local scholarship loan fund. Members of the S.C.A. attended meetings with representatives from other Virginia schools in order to learn how their Student Cooperative Asso¬ ciation functions. Among them were ten underclass¬ men who attended the Miller and Rhodes Virginia High School Forum. Also, Nell Lacy and Ray Kil¬ gore participated in a forum at the District E prin¬ cipal’s meeting and Chuck Seabolt, Rickey Harrell, Ray Kilgore, and Mr. Gerald Tudor, S.C.A. spon¬ sor, attended the state convention in Harrisonburg. The induction of newly elected officers was in May. Vice-president Rickey Karrell and sec¬ retary Elinor Carter run off the S.C.A. minutes that are delivered to every home¬ room.

Honor Society Taps Eleven Seniors Membership in the National Honor So¬ ciety is one of the highest honors given at H.C.H.S. Every pupil in the school strives to obtain this outstanding goal. To be eligible for consideration for ad¬ mission into the society, a student must be a junior or senior who has maintained an average of 90 since the beginning of the ninth grade. Membership is limited to 15 per cent of the Senior Class. Only eleven seniors were inducted this year at the candle¬ lighting ceremony held in the gym in Feb¬ ruary. The juni ors were inducted in the spring. A scholarship of $200 was awarded this year for the first time to a deserving Nation¬ al Honor Society member. Money earned over a period of several years was used to obtain the specified amount. The money was made by selling stationery. The Honor Society also had a float in the annual Homecoming parade in South Boston which took place in October. After final exams the society held its annual picnic, to which all present and for¬ mer Honor Society members were invited. 156 Ted Johnson is tapped into the National Honor Society by Pre¬ sident Bobby Gordon. m m ,. «� in i.mw m J m i National Honor Society members are (FIRST ROW) V.

The National Junior Honor Society, for students in the eighth, ninth and tenth grades, is a national organization for those students who have excelled in academic and service achievements in their school work. To be eligible, a 91 average in scholar¬ ship is necessary. In addition to scholar¬ ship, leadership, character, and service are also important requirements for admission into the honor society. Each year, those students eligible for admission are inducted in March and have to maintain their average and devotion to the school to remain in the society. Students in the Honor Society serve as guides to visitors on College Day and also lead the seventh graders on a tour of the school during Visitation Day in the spring. This year, they also sold football programs at home games. National Junior Honor Society members are (FIRST ROW) M. Beard; C. Osborne; T. Terry; B. Holt; D. Sizemore; T.Earp; L. Dixon; B. Weaver; C.

Top Journalists Taken In Quill And Scroll Quill and Scroll member Mae Geregory Wall prepares to leave for the CSPA convention in New York City. The Douglas Southall Freeman Chapter of Quill and Scroll at H.C.H.S. honors the outstanding high school journalists in Hali¬ fax County. To become a member of Quill and Scroll, a student must be in the upper third of his classes and must have done superior work on the school publications. This year for the first time sophomores have been admitted as provisional members. Juniors, Seniors and provisional mem¬ bers from the Sophomore Class attended the C.S.P.A. convention at Columbia University in New York City in March. While there, they attended classes and lectures to help them improve the publications at H.C.H.S. Visits to the sites of interest in New York, as well as attendance at a Broadway show, was squeezed in between convention meet¬ ings. Other activities in which the club took part this year included a booth in the S.C.A. Fair in which students could play darts for old pictures from the publications. Also for the first time this year the club had a party for the senior members of the organi¬ zation. 160 Members of the Quill and Scroll crowd into the broom closet on the administrative floor which became their headquarters for the year.

To create a keen interest in math and to give members an opportunity to study some mathemathical topics not covered in the regular class periods are the main ob¬ jectives of Mu Alpha Theta, honorary math club at H.C.H.S. A student must have an average of 90 or above in all subjects taken since having entered high school. He must also have completed two and one-half years of math to qualify for membership. In addition, teachers who have majored in math while in college are eligible. At an after-school meeting on March 12, new members were initiated into the club. Each new member was asked to turn in by the end of the 1962-63 term, a project con¬ cerning some phase of math interesting to him. Since this meeting was also the annual social meeting, initiates were given the chance to meet other members and acquaint themselves with the club rules. Project and poster displays in the lobby, and mathematically designed bulletin boards throughout the school, informed all students of Math Week, which was sponsored by the Mu Alpha Theta in May. Judy Compton admires attractive posters made by Mu Alpha Theta members for Math Week. 163 Thespian Troupe Excels In Dramatic Bruce Brown and Allen Fuller attempt to humor Deanna Talley in a scene from the Fall Production Janie .

A gold star is awarded to every stu¬ dent who earns an extra ten points, while Thespian Cups honor the two outstanding troupe members on Class Day. This year the Fall Production was Janie,” by Bentham and Williams. The Spring Production consisted of three one act plays, If Men Played Cards As Women” by Kaufman; The Pajama Party by Martens, and The Ugly Duckling by Milne. The latter was also presented in the District One Act Play Festival. The student body looks forward to the school productions as a welcome interruption of otherwise routine school days. Mrs. Dorothy Crews discusses one of the three one-act plays in the Spring Production with Sharon McGhee and Mickey Vanney. 165 HALISCOPE Staff Sells 860 Annuals Students who bought the HALISCOPE, H.C.H.S. ' s yearbook, this year also received a first guarantee that if the annuals were not available by the end of the school session, they would get a money refund plus their yearbooks. This promise surely had some¬ thing to do with the fact that 860 annuals were sold this year, thus setting a new record in annual sales. This year ' s staff began early in the fall to plan for the 1962- ' 63 annual. Instead of having a HALISCOPE editorial board as in previous years, there was an editor in charge of each division. These editors tried for more action pictures and different layouts for them. Each club or organization was featured with a picture of its members and officers, a photo of some activity of the club, and a short summary of the year ' s events. Contained in the annual was an individual picture of each student and faculty member. There was a different layout for senior pic¬ tures, with statistics on each senior page. Teachers were pictured by departments. Sports activities, also, were covered in the HALISCOPE. Highlights of football and basketball seasons were a part of the sports section in the yearbook. These features, added together, produc¬ ed the largest annual ever edited by H.C.H.S. students. This edition has 244 pages. 166 167 The Star Informs Students On H.C.H.S.

STAR MODERNIZES Sammy Brookes is stealing a few facts from Em Edmunds’s column to put in his own column. That could have been a headline this year for the STAR. The STAR was full of inno¬ vations. One was a new article conversation added to the current list of regular articles. The STAR stories were written by stu¬ dents from Mr. Fitz ' s sophomore English Journalism classes and some were written by a few juniors and seniors. Another was that for the first time in history Principal J.M. Swanson held a press conference with STAR reporters. Also the STAR sent 15 representatives to the CSPA convention in New York City. With the DE Club taking over the job of selling ads and the advanced typing students doing the typing for this STAR, the work was lighter for the STAR staff. The STAR sold about 400 subscriptions and a record break¬ ing number of STAR ' S in the lobby. STAR staff reporters are interviewing each other. They are (FIRST ROW) P. McDowell; J. Martin; C.

These words brought joyous faces and happy cheers from members of the Hali¬ fax County High School Marching Band as they proudly accepted the invitation to par¬ ticipate in the annual Sun-Fun Festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the week-end of June 7. Doughnuts, a word the band members grew tired of hearing, was the chief source of money used to finance the trip. A sub¬ scription often dozen or more glazed dough¬ nuts, supplied by the Krispy Kream Company of Roanoke, was the requirement of each member. Profits from these doughnuts fi¬ nanced the trip and got the band on their way. Approximately 30 bands competed for honors in the parade and festival, an annual event that lasted for four days. According to Mr. Tussey, it is considered a great honor to be asked to take part in the festival because it is a national event and participation is by invitation only. Enthusiasm, however, did not exist throughout the whole marching unit. The newest addition to the band, the Comettes, a drill corps composed of 24 regulars, one head, and four alternates, were excluded from the invitation. The Sun-Fun Festival was not the only event on the agenda for second semester. Preparations were made for the Dogwood Festival, elementary school concerts, spring concerts, an Easter pro¬ gram, and graduation exercises. Among the highlights on the agenda for the fall were performances at all home football games and one away game and par¬ ticipation in four Christmas parades. In the fall of 1962, the band and Comette Corps won second place in band participation at the Virginia Rescue Squads Association Parade in Danville. 171 The Concert Choir members are (FIRST ROW) R.

The outstanding activities of the 1962- ' 63 Concert Choir, under the direction of Mr. Jimmy Tussey, were concerts and perform¬ ances at assemblies and graduation exer¬ cises. A Christmas Concert was presented Wednesday, December 19, in the H.C.H.S. gym. Among the selections presented were a spiritual, In-A-That Great Gittin ' Up Mornin ' , The Angels ' Song , and In Dulce Jubilo. For the first time the Concert Choir participated in a choir clinic in the Northside High School auditorium in Roanoke on March 30. Previously the choir had gone to a music festival, but since one was not held this year, the choir went to the new choir clinic. The choir and band combined to present an Easter assembly in April. Among the best known selections presented was The Hallelujah Chorus by Handel. The Concert Choir also presented its Spring Concert in May in the school gym. The Ninth Grade Chorus members are (FIRST ROW) E. Car¬ ter; M. Smith; D. Irby; B. Wilson; W. Busick; L. Compton; L. Saunders; and Mr. John Mentzer, director. (SECOND ROW) S. Fogle; S. Roark; H.

Their meeting took place at George Washington High School in Danville. This spring they had another meeting at Randolph Henry High School in Charlotte Courthouse. The organi¬ zation enabled all the student assistants from District E to exchange ideas on library pro¬ grams at their schools and to stimulate in¬ terest in library work as a career. In the past year there were 42 student library assistants who helped with library work by admitting students into the library, collecting fines, checking books in and out, selling paperbacks, typing cards for the card catalogue and checking out magazines. Be¬ sides helping with library work, the student assistants took a series of tests on the infor¬ mation a library offers. As a result of these tests and laboratory work, the student assistants could meet the needs of other students and learn how to be¬ come librarians. For the first time this year, the student assistants received one- half credit in recognition for the valuable service they rendered to their school. Also members of the Projectionists Club and their advisor, Mr. William Satter¬ field, gave their services by showing inter¬ esting movies in the classrooms. An average of 300 to 600 students attend¬ ed the library each day for pleasure reading, book reports, class reports, term papers and other work which required library use. Miss Francis Woltz, head librarian, and Mrs. Pattye Hicks and Mr. William Satter¬ field, assistants, were always willing to help students and teachers in locating information. This was made possible by six assigned teachers who supervised study hall students in the library, thus saving the librarians valuable time. Projectionists are (SEATED) J. Wilborne, J. Carter, H. Anderson, S. Bailey. (STANDING) Mr. Satterfield, advisor; F. Holt, W. Anderson, B. Hodnett, R. Snow, M. Bryant, R. Pulliam, J. Betterton, M. Slingo, R. Tuck, J. Watkins, J. Jennings, J. Chaney, J.

Latin Club Visits Virginia Museum Nancy Anderson accepts money from David Dunn to pay for the bus-fare to Richmond to the Virginia Museum. Among the activities of the Latin Club this year were the publication of Latin newspapers, Latin Week and the climaxing dance, and a trip to Richmond to see a play at the Virginia Museum Theater. Instead of the usual term papers or themes, Mrs. Elizabeth Harding, Latin teacher, required each Latin II student to work in a group to write and distri¬ bute Latin newspapers to all Latin stu¬ dents. These newspapers included world news, cartoons and crossword puzzles. On March 9, two buses of Latin I and II students went to the Virginia Museum in Richmond to see the pro¬ duction, ”A Woman From Colchis.” During the week of March 4 through 8, the Latin II students became masters and made the servants, first year stu¬ dents, do everything from carrying books to pushing pencils up the hall with their noses. To make up for their hard- suffering a dance was held in the lobby Friday night and both groups became equal again, as Latin Week ended. 176 Latin members are (FIRST ROW) S. Snead, M. Wilkins, C.

The main highlight of the French Club activites this year was the observance of French Week. During this week members of the club published a newspaper in French and placed displays in the show¬ case in the lobby. All of the week ' s activities were built around a central theme, Some Highlights of French Literature. The culmination of the week was the annual banquet held on Friday night with menus and favors in French. Special guest speakers addressed the group. After the banquet, new members were inducted into the National French Honor Society. Those inducted were chosen be¬ cause of their high average in French, and their aptitude, interest, application to the work, creative ability, and character. All French students belong to the French Club. The club meets only twice a year, at Christmas and in the spring, but special committees, who handle most of the work, meet many times. At the first meeting, held a week be¬ fore Christmas, members sang Christmas songs and discussed French Christmas and New Year customs. A social hour followed. The French Club serves many valuable purposes; to unify the first and second year students, to supplement the class- work, and to offer fellowship. At present there are only two years of French offered, but it is hoped that in the future, the third and fourth years will be added to the cur¬ riculum.

If not, you must not be among the more than 60 members of Conqui stadores Espanoles,” the Spanish Club of H.C.H.S. The translation is ’’forward, always, forward”, and this motto expresses the attitude the club has toward better stu¬ dent understanding of the Spanish language and customs. All students with a C average or higher are eligible for member¬ ship in the club. During the holiday season the Spanish Club sponsored a float, which represented the Nativity scene, in the Halifax Christmas parade. A dance was given in March and inductions for new members of the club took place during Language Week. Since the previous constitution for the club was lost, a new one was drawn up. It stated that the president of the club should come from the group of students taking the highest year of Spanish. The Spanish Honor Society, originally for students with a 90 average in Spanish, wasn ' t in operation during the first semester; but later in the school year a committee was set up to re-organize and improve the society. 180 Bob Barnes and Margie Edmunds practice music-making and dancing with Spanish instruments.

Science Club Holds Science Fair I Juan Chaves and Robert Bagwell watch a physics experiment backfire. For the first time, Science Club mem¬ bers did not have to be taking a science course to be in the Science Club. The only qualifications for membership were to be interested in science and to prepare a pro¬ ject for the annual Science Fair. The highlight of the club ' s year was the Science Fair. Opened to all students, the fair was divided into two sections, bi¬ ological and physical. From each section there was a first place winner and three honorable mentions. One of the Science Club Meetings featured a civil defense program. The Halifax County civil defense co-ordinator demonstrated parts of the civil defense emergency hospital, which is stored in the school ' s basement. It was suggested that the Science Club Members should serve as civil defense workers for H.C.H.S. The club members would act as monitors to try to guide the students as safely as possible to the buses in case of a necessary evac¬ uation. For their social event of the year, the club members held their annual spring picnic. 183 Kathy Booker and Margie Edmunds put the finishing touches on Margie ' s car, which was entered by the F.T.A. in the Homecoming parade. Student teacher Gayle Layne uses the library as she looks up material needed for teaching her classes during F.T.A. Month. Tucker Watkins cooperates during Teacher ' s Career Month by giving his favorite teacher an apple. 184 F.T.A. Members Hear Guest Speakers The main purposes of the F.T.A. are to interest more boys and girls into entering the field of professional teaching as a career, to recognize that education is a vital part of the future of America and the world, and to extend to each of its members an under¬ standing of the goals required for a good teacher. Qualifications for becoming a member are having a B” average at the end of each semester on every course taken, and being a student in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. There are approximately 50 mem¬ bers in the club this year making the largest number of members that the club has ever had. Activities of the club included enter¬ taining guest speakers, viewing several film¬ strips on teaching careers open to students after completion of college, taking over classes as substitutes for absent teachers, serving as helpers for keeping teachers registers, doing voluntary grading work, and touring a nearby college at the end of the year. Every spring, the club observes Teacher- Career Month. Posters and bulletin boards are put up by the members during one week of the month. Duringthat week each member is given a chance to choose any subject in which he may be interested or experienced, and then to teach that subject one period a day for a week. These new” teachers are encouraged to apply new and original ideas of their own. At the end of the week, the club meets and each- member tells his teaching experiences. A tea party given by the club in honor of all teachers climaxes the month. M « � ,+ • K $ ■ 4 � • Members of the F.T.A. are as follows (FIRST ROW) T. Watkins; G. Layne; S. Jennings; E. Powell, P.

Included in this handbook was a calendar which outlined several money¬ making projects and many social events that the H.C.H.S. chapter of the F.B.L.A. had planned for the year. New members, having the requirement of at least one business subject, promptly went to work with the old members to raise money. They sold light bulbs and blue H.C. H.S. banners. In December and February they conducted two different oake saies in order to add money to the treasury of their club. One of the important events of the school year was the executive board meeting in Richmond at the John Marshall Hotel. Ida Mae Cole, president of the H.C.H.S. chapter and state historian, attended this meeting. Here she and the other attendants planned the state convention. When several of the members of the club journeyed to Longwood College to the Re¬ gional Convention, they carried their entries which they placed in the scrapbook, essay, bulletin board, and public speaking contests. While she was there, Janis Gravitt, H.C.H.S. chapter reporter, took part in the regional elections by competing for the office of regional secretary. At the state convention in Richmond, the Halifax County chapter was in charge of the state elections. The winners of the contests at the regional convention participated in the state divisions of the same contests. In April the banquet for all of the mem¬ bers took place in the school cafeteria. 186 F.B.L.A. committeemen Suzanne Caudle, Linda Phillips, Nancy Collie, and Linda Jones plan their club handbook.

The club’s advisor is Mr. Bob Law, art teacher. Scholarship, service, and a sincere interest in art are the requirements for mem¬ bership. In writing the constitution for the club, the third year art students stated these pur¬ poses and objectives: ’’The object of this club shall be to create an enthusiasm for superior scholarship in art; to stimulate a desire to learn more about art; to promote and to encourage the development of art in our school and our country.” Club activities progressed as the officers were elected, the dues were set, and official club pins and rings were selected and ordered. Officers elected were Becky Solomon, presi¬ dent; Steve Morse, vice-president; Melanie Jones, secretary; Jeanne Sneed, treasurer; and Peggi Wilson, reporter. Art Club plans for the second semester included a sidewalk art sale. Members of the club donated some of their best work and, attired in French berets, sold it on the side¬ walks of South Boston. Plans also included a similar sale at the S.C.A. Fair with an out¬ door art gallery. 190 Bus Drivers’ Club Promotes Safety To promote safety was the aim of the newly organized Bus Drivers ' Club at Halifax County High School during the 1962-63 school year. The club was the first to be formed in the history of the high school. Itwas made-up of thirty-five regular and alternate bus drivers. The officers were Wiley Blanks, president; Lawrence Holt, vice-president; Rose Marie Arendall, secre¬ tary; Robert Kell, treasurer; Charles Smith, sergeant-at-arms; and Willie Conner parlia¬ mentarian. The club tried to have as many meetings as possible, which was usually one a month. In the spring the club members enjoyed a banquet given in the school cafeteria. Also the club ordered blue and white jackets for the members. Carroll Collie prepares to begin his daily route. Seated are Buddy Riddle, Thomas Martin, and Eddie Tuck.

This is no problem for the Distributive Education Club students, because they are trained for full¬ time employment after graduation. They are employed by local merchants and work two class periods and after school each day as well as on Saturdays. The Halifax County High School Distri¬ butive Education Club is one of the largest programs in the state and was the only club in the district this year. Members per¬ formed such duties as raising the flag each morning, operating the school store and lost and found department, as well as monitoring the halls. The D.E. Club attended the distributive education district and state leadership con¬ ferences this year. The district leadership conferences were held in February. Their annual Employer-Employee Banquet was also held. Several members of the club won awards in the D. E. District 12 contest. Steve Morse won first place in advertising layout and copy writing. Sammy Walden won second place in merchandise presentation while Betty Terry won second place in the p A o- fessional selling contest. Dwight Holt, D.E.

Students Win In District Contest The objective of the Diversified Oc¬ cupations Club is to train its members to be industrious workers in a program called In¬ dustrial Cooperative Training. In the D.O. Club students are given a chance to work in various technical and ser¬ vice occupations, depending upon the par¬ ticular field he might choose. Each member of the club is required to work four hours each week day and all day on Saturdays. This amounts to about twenty five to thirty hours a week This year several of the twenty eight D.O. Club members went to G.W. in Danville to participate in a district contest that consisted of exhibits and participating in contests. Win¬ ning seven out of eight first place entries, local members received the Most Outstanding Club award at the District V meeting. Nancy Lee Cole won the highest possible award by being named the D.O. Student of the Year. She also won first place in the essay contest and the spelling. Tommy Hunt placed first in public speaking, the second highest award given.

Sponsors Mother-Daughter Banquet To focus on family friendship has been the F.H.A.’s main aim this year. This year’s activities included the Fed¬ eration meeting at Randolph Henry in October and the F.H.A. state convention in June. Once a month the club had a business meeting, usually followed by a program. At the be¬ ginning of the school year, in September, the F.H.A. had an introductory program to in¬ troduce students to the organization. During the summer, the club sponsored a week work shop at which officers planned program work for the coming year. Members also were eligible to attend a F.H.A.-F.F.A. state camp. Among this year’s honors for club mem¬ bers, the F.H.A. Girl-of-the-Month was a special feature. Those members who were chosen for Girl-of-the-Month honors were Annette Williams, Jane Adkisson, and Wanda Smith. Also sharing the spotlight with these three girls was Gayle Layne, who received a scholarship given by the Young Homemakers of Virginia. The F.H.A. was also named an outstanding chapter last summer at the state convention. One of the most important highlights of this year’s social calendar was the F.H.A.- F.F.A. Valentine Dance, February 14, at which Patricia Roller was chosen queen of the dance. The Mother-Daughter Banquet, April 5, was another climactic event. Mothers attending this banquet met teachers and other members of the F.H.A. They also were given a general idea of what the club had been doing. Members of the F.H.A. have aided the school by rendering their services as wait¬ resses at banquets and have served the com¬ munity by working as nurses’ aids in the local hospitals.

Wins Recognition In National Events In promoting agricultural leadership, co¬ operation, and citizenship, the Halifax County Chapter of Future Farmers of America won recognition, not only in Virginia, but also in the nation this year. The dairy judging team, made up of James Elliott, Horace Moss, and John Owens, and the livestock team, made up of John Childrey, Eddie Medley, and Charles Snead both made history in October in that they were the first teams from this school to represent Virginia in national F.F.A. events. Traveling to Waterloo, Iowa, the diary team won a bronze plaque in dairy products and honorable mention in dairy cattle. The livestock team, which went to Kansas City, received a bronze plaque in meat’s judging and honorable mention in livestock. In crop-raising, the crops’ team, made up of James Vernon, Robert Ford, and Wayne Womack, placed third in the state. Rewarded with a plaque and $100, the chapter forestry program won third place in the state. The forestry judging team of Wayne Palmer, Eddie Medley, Wiley Blanks, and Edward Tuck, place fourth in the state. In highlighting individual awards, Eddie Chaney was elected to the American Farming Degree, the highest degree possible. Those students who did outstanding work in the chapter’s instructional program, which was composed of supervised farming, animal science, plant science, farm mechanics, farm management, farm family living, and leader¬ ship, received awards at the annual Father- Son Banquet held February 21. Also at the banquet Mr. R. A. Leggett was awarded the Honorary Chapter Farmer Degree for in¬ terest in agriculture and in agricultural education. Assisting the chapter’s five instructors this year were three student-teachers. These eight teachers supervised the chapter’s planting of 40,000 pine seedlings. issjum. ‘ ■ i-f L Mai IP® 5 ® ' Vjpfi mmar m r BK 1 F.F.A. of f i c e r s are Jerry Jones, sentinel; Thomas Mar¬ tin, treasurer; Edward Tuck, secretary; Eddie Medley, pre¬ sident; Eric Hudson, vice-pre¬ sident; and James Vernon, re¬ porter. 199 200 Il Sports Dimension in the form of sports, developing the body physically and expanding the mind with cooperation and criticism... 201 The Comet football team runs on to the practice field for a pre-game session.

They were replaced by untried sophomores. Coach Merritt also added that there were five seniors and a junior whom he could de¬ pend on, but he had to use four other juniors and a freshman who had no experience to com¬ plete the starting eleven. After losing the first four games and scoring only two touchdowns, the Comets outplayed V.E.S. and won, 20-14, on a daz¬ zling 81-yard run by junior Mike Piechota with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. Ray Kilgore returned after the V.E.S. game to lead the Comets in wins over Lex¬ ington, 20-7, and Drewry Mason, 42-0, in the Homecoming game. Kilgore scored 26 points in the rout of Drewry Mason and Mickey Vanney had his best night, gaining more than 100 yards. To end the season the Comets won one and lost two Western District tilts. William Fleming won, 13-0; Andrew Lewis forfeited because of the use of an ineligible player; and Jefferson Senior defeated the Comets 33-7. The last games brought the Comet record to four wins and six losses for the year. Letter winners for the Comets this year are seniors, Mickey Vanney, Charles Spears, Ray Kilgore, C. D. Harris, Jim Marilla, Jim Burton, Leslie Johnson; juniors, Ricky Har¬ rell, Mike Piechota, Kenny Morningstar, Russell Lindley, Charles Carter, Ronnie Rose, Paul Carlson; sophomores, J.

Although lacking in height, the Halifax County Blue Comets had hopes for a suc¬ cessful basketball season. They intended to defeat their opponents by teamwork, good ball handling, and accurate shooting. Comet morale was somewhat crushed, when the team lost the season’s opening game. The Blue Comet cagers also lost their second game; however, returning to the home court, the Comets built up their spirits by downing the quint from Reidsville, North Carolina, by one point. With renewed efforts the Comets took on new opposition and bowed before each of them. This continued for 14 consecutive losses. For the final contest of the season, the Comet cagers entertained the Patrick Henry Patriots of Roanoke in the local gymnasium. Because the Comets trailed at the end of the first quarter, it looked like another loss for the varsity team. But the second quarter proved otherwise, as the Comets led 23-17. In the second half of play, the Blues built several leads only to have them whittled down by the Patriots. Then finding that extra something which they had not had all season, the Comets began to pull away from their opponents. With good ball handling and ac¬ curate shooting, the Comets built a game¬ winning lead. Under the watchful eyes of an elated crowa, the Big Blues defeated Patrick Henry, 50-42. During the entire season, the team actually played better than the 2-16 won-lost record indicated, as they lost several games by only a few points. 210 Scoreboard H.C.H.S. 21 Reidsville 44 H.C.H.S. 35 E.

After many hours of practice during the summer and after school, the en¬ thusiastic junior varsity cheerleaders were finally ready for the first big game. This year, in addition to painting posters and banners, planning pep rallies, and originating new cheers, the J. V. cheer¬ leaders also yelled for the freshman basketball team. Additional money was needed in order to attend more out-of-town games so, along with the varsity squad, the cheer¬ leaders sponsored a dance after a foot¬ ball game and later sold names on the back of the Homecoming program. Selling pencils was still another money-making project. Corbin Crews and Karen Dyer Co-head J.V. Cheerleaders J. V. Squad Promotes School Spirit 219 Cheerleaders Sparked Varsity Play The varsity cheerleaders are (FIRST ROW) Elizabeth Fogle, Carolyn Rogers, Gayle Harmon, Linda Loftis, Vicky Dyer. (SECOND ROW) Bruce Wilborn, Nell Lacy, Em Edmunds, Sharon McGhee, Anita Traynham, and Elinor Carter. The varsity cheerleaders gave the Comets moral support at all games, home and away, and had pep rallies to encourage students to attend games. They also placed posters and banners on bulletin boards and in the lobby to inform and to invite students to the games. By entering two floats, one of which won first place, in the homecoming parade and by selling ads and spaces for students ' names on the Homecoming program, the cheer¬ leaders showed true school spirit. In the spring the cheerleaders, their sponsors, and the coaches had a cheerleading clinic for the training of future cheerleaders. Rules of basketball and football were taught by the coaches. The cheerleaders and spon¬ sors trained the clinic participants in acrobatics and cheers. After the clinic, ten new cheerleaders and one new alternate were chosen to re¬ place the eight senior cheerers who were graduated in June.
