Fifteenth Annual Publication Halifax County High School South Boston, Virginia Individualism, cooperation: An individual in the classroom. Tommy Redd takes time out to daydream. Helping each other on a difficult English assignment are Ray Sizemore and L. H. Seamster. Leaning demurely against an empty wall, Betty Carlton Fore displays her own individuality. Standing out from a group of her classmates is individ¬ ual Helen Roark. i 2 key words that encompass a successful year Individuality and teamwork are two words that encompassed the whole year, for school members accomplished their goals in all areas by working both individually and as members of groups. In the classroom students concentrated individually while contributing with opinions and oral reports to the class as a whole. In various clubs the individuals as officers led the whole club in its group projects. Individuals headed and worked on all the committees that went to make up the work of the organization. Each individual on the publications staffs per¬ fected his own little job so the editors, working together, could compile the whole project. Each individual instrument in the band and each individual voice in the choruses blended in to make the effect of the whole musical group. At the same time cooperation between the members of all sports teams provided the necessary teamwork without sacri¬ ficing the special abilities of each individual player. The newly organized Inter-Club Council showed the students’ awakening interest in teamwork, because each individual club joined in to plan the standards of all clubs. Each using his own individual method, teachers worked joint¬ ly to educate each student into a well-rounded person. Admin¬ istration, faculty, and finally the School Board cooperated with students to reinstate school-sponsored dances. Merchants cooperated tremendously with the school by advertising in school publications and employing DE and VICA students in their businesses. The cooperation of the Little Theatre, school, community and over 100 individual performers made Halifax Councy’s first musical a success. Cooperation between all the language clubs makes possible the big and helps plan the menu and program for the night. The banquet ends a language banquet at the end of each year.

C. is pronounced to rhyme with bouncy and it’s easy to see why. For Emelyn Mills is an enthusiastic “doer.” She is never still whether it be at a ballgame or in the class¬ room where her inquisitive mind demands to know the answers to numerous questions. Of late, she has become enamoured of the theatre; indeed, she has directed class productions as well as acted in school plays. Pardon the cliche, but Cluster Springs Elementary School’s gain will surely be Halifax County High School ' s loss. After nine years of service to HCHS, Mr. Worth Hudson, administrative assistant and former agriculture teacher is leaving. Students knew him as the tall, slim gentleman who handled the bus problems and who, among other things, saw that the athletic teams had something to eat when they went on out-of-town games. Teachers knew him as a n administrator with a sympathetic ear for their problems. Everyone knew him as a friend. history memorable for individual personalities The death of a beloved teacher is always a sad thing and this fall it was doubly so for Mrs. Mary McLaughlin was a master teacher and a great lady. No student who was in her history or government class or who went to her for guidance will ever forget her. She was an original, a true individual. Her like will never walk the halls of HCHS again. As the school’s newspaper The STAR said so aptly, “A great lady is dead and we mourn her passing.” ll If the seniors had been asked to name the two students they would remember most twenty years from now, Steve Cole and Becky Glover would have probably won hands down. They are people you can’t forget and it’s not just because they always acted the parts of clowns. Sure, they always came up with a silly quip and an amusing joke. Their latest “funny” was quoted from the classroom to the parking lot at the Dairy Bar. But they have much more going for them than quick wits. It’s something called personality. 5 Versatility, achievement, compassion make up ••� ♦ • B Jr §♦ if F.. � •••• JPa� e •KvJ pf- ♦ 4 K � « Hill � ! • ! § «• mmm A top athlete who is also a sensitive writer-that’s a combination that makes for individualism and that’s Ronnie Chappell. Sports are Ronnie’s first love but he also has a desire to write on many topics. Naturally he likes people and enjoys life. And if there is a funny story to be told, Ronnie is close by. If versatility makes for individualism, then Ricky Michaels must be the school’s top individual. He was SCA president, a photographer, an honor student, a columnist for the school newspaper, a state essay winner, a cross country runner, a member of the debate team, and he often brought his three year old sister to the home basketball games. What could be more individualistic that that? 6 recipe for individualism For a sophomore to be named to the All-Western District football team is a singular honor. Bill Maxwell did it and at the All-Sports Banquet, pictured above with Coach Bill Morning- star, he walked off with so many trophies he had a hard time carrying them. Achievements surely denote individualism. “Bon vivant.” It’s the correct term for Jack Clement, a lover of life and all the many pleasures it offers. With his love of life also goes a sense of responsibility to his school, family and church. He often meets his friends with a smile and his arms stretched out to the sky. “Here I am,” he seems to be saying. Indeed he was there, wherever he was needed. The many charitable acts of Mrs. Lois Swanson will never be fully recorded; she is not a lady to make a big show. But her many kindnesses are there nevertheless and they will always be remembered by her students and the citizens of Halifax County. A member of the original faculty inl953, Mrs. Swanson retired this summer. She was a lady of compassion and understanding and that’s what great teaching is all about. 7 Most HCHS students ride the big yellow school bus to and from school. Boarding the bus at right are Rosalee Owen, James Lacy and Tommy Yates. Peering out of the dirty back window at far right are Linda Snead, Mary Guill, Dianne Ferrell, James Lacy and Tommy Yates. At bottom, students pass time on the bus in various ways—socializing, primping and thinking. Students emergency door find daily bus rides can be fun, dull, tiresome The bus ride to and from school every day is a major part of almost every student’s life. Ninety per cent of the student body takes advantage of the free transportation provided by the School Board. Many people spend more than an hour on buses every day, some traveling as many as 35 miles one way. Every school-day morning students wait patiently for the 30 buses that come from all parts of the county. In the dead of winter the waiting groups can be seen clapping their hands together to keep warm. The wait is not so unpleasant in the spring and fall months, unless a shower begins to fall. Then students run for shelter until they see the big yellow bus. On the bus students hurry to find a seat before it begins to move again. Lurching with each gear, the bus moves on, sometimes throwing students into seats which have already been taken. Four students to a seat is the rule set down by the School Board. The lucky ones who have seats pass the time talking, joking and occasionally doing some homework. Crowds of people swarm in from the bus parking lot every morning and swarm back every afternoon at 3:10. They trudge home from the bus stops later in the afternoon. Individuals become part of a group every time they enter the bus and help with the team effort of getting to and from school. The 25 student bus drivers band together to make rules and to help each other whenever a bus stalls. V i« � Every afternoon after school students hurry to the bus parking lot where talking, joking and sometimes studying on their long way home from they board the proper buses. Many of them spend as much as an hour on school, the bus each day, traveling more than 60 miles.

Anita Hudson (at right) works hard to control her electric typewriter. 14 effort, individual study Almost five hours a school day find all students in class. Classes, then, are the most widespread example of how students work individually and co-operatively to achieve their goals. Each student is responsible for his own understanding of a class. He must pay attention to lectures and class discussions and do his own classwork and homework. Together, the whole class shares ideas in group discussions and oral reports. Each individual’s contribution is important to the group effort. The teamwork of the teacher and each student is also impor¬ tant to his complete understanding of a subject. Students them¬ selves co-operate in working on special projects in many classes. Often students work together and help each other on difficult homework. Helping Virgil Slagle understand his algebra problem, Mrs. Zelma Daw¬ son (at top) exemplifies co-opera¬ tion between student and teacher. At left, Ronnie Chappell and Del¬ bert Lester are completely absorbed in an algebra class. 15 Biting his pen in concentration, Clyde Womack (right) works on mastering English grammar, while E. C. Lewis and Richard Doss (bottom) converse at the end of the class period. Student 16 faces show concentration,interest, amazement Absorbed with their magazines in science class, June Cheek and Elizabeth Creath concentrate hard on their reading. This individual reading time precedes the class discussion in which each individual participates. Both individual and team effort are thus important to this and other classes. 17 Varsity team members Alan Gravitt and Tommy Byron guard their coach Bill Morningstar in the Faculty-Varsity game. An Easter assembly combined the efforts of the Concert Choir, Band and Ninth Grade Chorus.

Assemblies entertain, instruct, honor students Inducting Teresa Wilboume into membership in the NHS is Shirley Younger. A profusion of assemblies showed perfectly the necessity for a combination of both team and individual efforts. Sponsored by the SCA, many assemblies celebrated special holidays throughout the year. An Easter assembly of music and devotions, a Christmas assembly of singing and a surprise visit from Santa Claus and a Veterans’ Day assembly with a patriotic talk by The Honorable Howard P. Anderson were the main ones. Individuals in the SCA took part in and coordinated these programs. They could not have been as good, however, without the combined efforts of all the band and choral groups. Other assemblies sought to entertain students. The junior class worked together to present its class assembly of the “Moses Fantana Show,” while seniors presented their Class Night assembly for the enjoyment of the whole student body. Eight actresses put on their one-act play entry for the district competition before the students. Cooperating with the cheer¬ leaders, faculty members and varsity basketball players put on a show in the Faculty-Varsity basketball game. Combining culture with entertainment, Mr. William Penny Haacker, director of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, gave a piano recital. A group of actors from the Virginia Museum gave a performance of Moliere’s “School for Wives.” Serious assemblies also took time from classes, among them class and SCA election speeches and SCA installation of officers. Honoring individual students were honor society inductions and several end-of-the-year awards assemblies. 19 Appealing to the student body tor support, Luther Matthews, candidate In an effort to win the support of her classmates, Betty Carlton Fore, for SCA sergeant-at-arms, encourages students to get on the bandwagon. candidate for SCA sergeant-at-arms, mimics Lady Bird Johnson. Satterfield assumes presidency, Lewis wins Fun, excitement, noise, joy and dejection made up the elections. Beginning Monday morning, October 16, candidates for class offices hurried to beat their opponents to school and to the best places from which they could hang banners. After a morning of fighting against time, tearing banners and running out of tape, the 65 candidates from all five classes al ong with their many campaign managers, friends and helpers had to confine their campaigning efforts to their spare time in the classroom, during lunch and between classes. On Friday, after four hard days of smiling to strangers and shaking hands, the candidates gave their speeches in the auditorium. Afterwards all the students had a chance to vote for the officers who would lead them in their own classes. In the spring the nominees for SCA offices began a week of hard campaigning which was to decide who would lead the school for the next year. Once again the week culminated with an assembly, speeches by the candidates and voting. Late in the year the newly-elected officers took office in a special installa¬ tion ceremony before the whole student body. 20 After a long week of shaking hands meeting strangers and preparing Matthews, a candidate for SCA sergeant-at-arms, remove their banners speeches, Em C. Mills, a candidate for SCA vice-president, and Luther from the gym with the help of Ricky Michaels, SCA president. vice-presidency The student body (left) listens to speeches given by candidates for SCA office.

Increased interest in dramatics came as a result of the Virginia Museum Theatre Arts System presentation of Moliere’s “School for Wives.” The highly stylized production centered around the attempts of a middle-aged bachelor to keep his ward in complete ignorance of the ways of the world. Provided by the newly-approved Performing Arts in Virginia Education program, the performance began a trend toward emphasizing tire humanities in the school program. Beforehand a representative of PAVE came to prepare English teachers to teach students about lighting, scenery, costumes and make-up. Knowing the fundamentals of the theatre and acting, sopho¬ mores, juniors and seniors saw the play at a December 6 matinee. A few lucky students, working side-by-side with the Richmond actors, learned to set up scenery for touring productions. After the play the actors answered questions from the audience about practices, costumes, scenery and the cast itself. Especially interested in acting, students wanted to know the personal feelings of the players toward the characters they portrayed. 23 Rehearsing for “Bye Bye Birdie,” The Reverend Mr. Terry Schneider takes sad girl Janice Earp by the hand and tries hard to get her to “put on a happy face.” Mr. Schneider, one of the main characters chosen from the Little Theatre of Halifax County, sang, danced and acted as Conrad Birdie’s agent Albert. 24 Musical provides excitement for teens, adults Helping to prepare Rucker McCanless for her part in the production, drama student Teresa DeBruhl applies stage make-up with the greatest care. Following up the increased interest in dramatics, Halifax County’s first Broadway musical opened in the auditorium April 25. The combined efforts of HCHS and the Little Theatre of Halifax County made the three-night production possible. Almost 100 performers made up the musical, including teams of dancers, singers and musicians as well as individual actors. Other people worked on scenery, lighting, costumes and make-up. Still others helped with publicity and programs. The musical revolved around two stories, the romance of an agent with his secretary and the drafting into the army of their great rock-and-roll singer, Conrad Birdie. The action descended on a small town where Conrad was to bestow his farewell kiss on Kim, the president of the local Conrad Birdie fan club. For nearly three months, under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Crews, the cast worked together to coordinate all parts of the show. Main teenage characters included Robyn Robbins as Conrad, Rucker McCanless as Kim, Gerry Lovelace as Kim’s boyfriend, Chris Jones as her brother and Em C. Mills as her best friend. Most of the performers were HCHS students. The ten long weeks of practicing every night and many afternoons paid off when more than 2000 viewers deemed the production a smashing success. The profit, split between the school and the Little Theatre, totaled over $1000. The school’s share will go for the improvement of stage facilities. 25 Three performances draw huge Boys in the telephone chorus (above) tie up all the phone lines wh en their friend Hugo gets pinned.

Various individuals spend this time in a multitude of different ways. Perhaps the favorite pastime of students is gathering around the Coke machines in the lobby, drinking Cokes and socializing. For couples, this time is perfect for walking out and sitting under the trees on the front lawn. Some people take advantage of this little bit of free time to make a phone call, read the STAR or do some last minute studying for an upcoming test. Relaxation is evident — in the smoking area, in the lobby, outdoors. An important part of every school day, this period gives the students time to rest for a few minutes so that they will be ready to get back to the afternoon of studying. Friends meet and friendships form during this special part of the day. Sitting on the smoking area rail after school is Vicky Martin (left). Taking a lunchtime stroll across the lawn (above) are Charles Conner and Debbie Crenshaw. 31 Students spend much time socializing During a basketball game Skip Seabolt and Ann Owen find a quiet place to socialize. 32 with friends, classmates Students find much time at school to be with friends.

All week long players practiced, club members worked on floats and all students observed School Spirit Week. On Tuesday, designated as Comets-Gonna-Win Day, cheerleaders sold victory ribbons to students. Wednesday hosted a pep rally in which cheerleaders announced Wash Glover winner of their banner contest. Thursday, Quiet Day, found HCHS a different school. Throughout the school students observed silence in the halls in order to save their voices for Friday night. On Blue and White Day, Friday, all students donned the school colors to build up school spirit for the game that night. Climaxing the week with a big game, the Comets engaged the Martinsville Bulldogs only to lose by the score of 28-7. During halftime Principal J. Marshall Swanson crowned Carol Trope the 1967 Homecoming Queen. Her attendants were Teresa DeBruhl, senior attendant; Patricia Barker, junior attendant; Ramona Clay, sophomore attendant; Beth Hodges, freshman attendant and Ellen Glasscock, eight grade attendant. They were elected by the student body. The queen and her court rode in the parade in downtown South Boston where the various clubs displayed their floats before the judges. The winners of the float contest, announced when the parade resumed on the football field at halftime, were the varsity cheerleaders for first place and the Art Club for second. Carol Trope, 1967 Homecoming Queen, was elected to this honor by 1 e entire student body. 35 Opposite page, seeming to enjoy herself at the Spring Fair, Miss Loretta Hudgins happily serves her time in the Pep Club stocks.

Trips to the fortune teller quickened pulses. Concessions filled stomachs and quenched thirsts. Finally a beauty pageant brought pleasure to all those who watched. These were the scenes at the SCA Spring Fair. Most of the clubs had some type of booth in the joint effort to make money. The booths were as varied as the individual clubs who sponsored them. Students visited exhibits by the Social Studies Department and Art Club. Moving from game to game, they threw darts at balloons in the Spanish Club booth and bet on turtles in the Pep Club’s turtle race. They spun the roulette wheel of the FHA’s Cake Walk and won sweets. After resting in the Latin Quarter where they ate pizzas and listened to music, students stopped to buy old pictures from the “Star” booth. They continued to the varsity cheerleaders’ Miss HCHS contest at which Cindy Thaxton, in a whirl of pageantry, became the new Miss HCHS. Joyce Fisher was the first runner-up, while Dee Dee Lewis was the second. 37 Newly reinstated spring dance prepares way ' v t 1 ' ' r t ■ ; .. I .

The combined efforts of many different individuals made the much-anticipated spring dance possible. Early in November a dance commission headed by Barry Ford met to discuss ways to get back the privilege of having dances at school after the School Board ruling barring them four years ago. Working hard on their individual assignments, many committees composed of members from all grades researched the problem, talking to parents and teachers. They sent questionnaires to other schools to find out their problems with dances and their various solutions to these problems. After two months the commission presented a detailed report of their findings to the School Board with a request for the privilege of sponsoring dances in future years. The report suggested a plan for four dances in a school year and included rules by which the dances would be conducted. Such rules governed guests, behavior and expenses. Accepting the report, the School Board granted the school a spring dance on a trial basis to determine if there would be more dances in future years. The SCA sponsored the dance as a non-profit affair, turning it into a great success. The “Prophets” from Greenville, N. C., provided music for over 600 students and their guests who attended. On May 10 the junior class presented the annual Junior- Senior Prom for the seniors. The “Grandeurs” played for the Mardi Gras. Late in the evening came the presentation of the senior girls with their escorts. They promenaded to form their class numerals. Seniors graduate at twilight in Tuck Dillard In the quiet of the early evening, 296 graduates listen to music by the Concert Choir at the conclusion of their graduation exercises.

Mrs. Martha Penick, chairman of the junior class sponsors, assists with the presentation. 41 Faculty adapts teaching plans to fit changing curricula Whether discussing instruction methods in department meetings or helping an individual student with a problem, teachers are willing to take time with each individual student to solve problems, to stop for a discus¬ sion, to examine a question and to explain a satisfactory solution. Discussions at weekly department meetings concerning instructional levels and procedures urge each teacher to devtiop a metho d particular to each teacher’s subject and personality. As varying keys open varying locks, teachers use their individual methods as keys to unlock the door of knowledge for each student. Conferring before school or remaining after the bell for an extra explanation, lecturing to the class from a speaker’s stand or experimenting with scientific laws, teachers are willing to devote their time to their students. A teacher’s time is never free. Latin instructor Mrs. Elizabeth Harding pauses after the bell to give a pupil individual attention. Basic differences be¬ tween word meanings and their connotations are explained by Eng¬ lish 11 teacher Mrs. Martha Penick. 42 Algebra 11 teacher Mr. John Johnston introduces his class to equations which involve exponents and radical ex¬ pressions.

Attempting to sketch a nearby cement truck during their outdoor art class are (left to right) Sylvia Newcomb, Patricia Dixon and Kathy Perkins. Making puppets and presenting a puppet show was only one of the Art Department’s numerous activities. Eighth graders, who took art for the first time, discovered what fun it was to produce their own puppet shows. Other eighth graders held their art classes outside in order to sketch various objects about the school in charcoal and pencil mediums. The assignments of the twelfth grade art students covered a number of different subjects including wood carving, oil painting, sculpturing, figure drawing and cloth dyeing. Senior art students also co-operated with the Little Theatre production of “Bye, Bye Birdie” by painting posters to advertise the production. They also made and distributed posters in connec¬ tion with a yearly contest sponsored by the Halifax County Cancer Society. Another of the Art Department’s annual projects included a trip to the Art Mobile where the students viewed the Andrew Wythe exhibit sponsored by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Exercising his artistic ability, senior Andy Wilkins hammers away on his chisel to reproduce an Indian totem pole for one of his art projects. 50 m-M Industrial arts teachers are Mr. Walter Crosby, Grade 8 and 9, and Mr. Henry Harrison, Grade 9 and mechanical drawing.

Lewis Beatles uses the drill press while putting the finishing touches on a lectern. Students develop skills in industrial arts class Industrial arts classes, which are offered to boys in grades eight th rough eleven, instruct students in metal work, hand and machine woodworking, electricity and freehand sketching. In the eighth grade, industrial arts covered only 18 weeks of work due to a time limit. During this time, however, students were taught the basic fundamentals in freehand drawing, woodworking and metalworking. Students were allowed to choose a certain project and work at completing it by exercising the skills they had learned in that short time. Ninth, tenth and eleventh graders worked as a model factory would in producing some object useful to the school. This year the boys chose to make lecterns for the classrooms. They began with raw materials, molded and shaped them and finished by sanding and buffing. Also included in the department is a course in mechanical drawing. This course is open to both senior boys and girls. This course teaches students to transfer their ideas on paper in an orderly arrangement. Planning, sketching, designing and prepar¬ ing work plans are the basics of mechanical drawing. Explaining the procedure in building a lectern to (left to right) Samuel lecterns under assembly line procedures as in a miniature factory and Womack, John Guthrie and Lane Tuck is Mr. Harrison.

The business courses in the Business Education Department consist of typing (a two year course), general business and business math for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Only juniors and seniors take shorthand and consumer math. Recordkeeping can be taken by juniors only, while juniors and seniors can take bookkeeping. Clerical office practice (COP), a two year course offered to seniors who are skilled in secretarial and clerical work, allowed students to learn office procedures by working for teachers in other departments during their study halls. Advanced typists co-operated with the STAR and HALI- SCOPE by typing various articles for them. Other students volunteered to do secretarial work for the main office.

These teachers work with the Communications Skills Improvement Program by using some materials and teaching aids supplied by the federal govern¬ ment. Their classrooms are located in the newly acquired mobile units in back of the school. 54 for students, teachers in English Department “Exploring Life through Literature,” published by Scott, Foresman and Company, is only one book of a new series used by the English Department. “All the world is a stage,” discovered students under the guidance of their English teachers. Sophomores, juniors and seniors studied lighting, acting, directing, theatre history and make-up in preparation for the production “School for Wives,” sponsored by tire Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Performing Arts in Virginia Education. All students presented projects at the end of the course of study. These projects ranged from the making of home movies to the construction of miniature theatres. Seniors increased their writing ability through Science Research Association materials designed to help them in writing clear and concise sentences. Accelerated sophomores furthered their writing ability through weekly compositions. Students in all grades increased their knowledge of reading through a remedial reading course. Teachers stressed vocabulary develop¬ ment in eighth through twelfth grade English classes. All English classes received new literature books. The English Department held monthly meetings to revise its course of study in relation to these new and improved books. Topping off the year’s curriculum was a group of student actors from Limestone College who presented “instant theatre” to various junior and senior English classes.

A.; Miss Juana Acevedo, Spanish, University of Havana, B. S., Spanish Club Adviser. Language Department teach language lore Individually as well as jointly, members of the Foreign Language Department strove to give Spanish, French and Latin students a deeper knowledge and appreciation for languages. To stimulate students interest in Spanish, Miss Maria Lozano, who taught first year Spanish students, and Miss Juana Acevedo, who taught advanced Spanish, not only spent time during regular classes to explain the fundamentals of Spanish but also devoted much of their time during their free period to instruction. Hence, students who did not completely understand a certain phase of Spanish gained individual instruction during their study hall. To help students become familiar with various social events celebrated in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, Miss Acevedo co-ordinated the Spanish Club. After teaching French students vocabulary, grammar and correct pronunciation, Miss Frances Howard spent much of her time teaching students the beauty of the French language through the study of French festivals, religion, art and history. At the completion of a study of Roman mythology, Latin students read “Electra” and soon went to Randolph Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg to see the play produced on stage. Leading students in the repetition of a Spanish dialogue, Miss Juana Acevedo teaches correct pronunciation. The ability to understand as well as the ability to pronounce is important in language study. 59 Early morning class offered . , 7 a to interested Working subtraction and addition problems at the blackboard during fifth period math class are freshmen Cathy Allen and Linda Crutchfield. While Mr. Jack Strum, their teacher, observes the girls’ work, other students in the class compare the girls’ answers at the board with their own answers. In geometry class Mary Bagwell draws a figure on the blackboard to explain the procedure followed in proving two triangles congruent to each other. Much time is spent in math class calculating percent and interest problems. James Scheier, reacting to a classmate’s question, takes time out to talk. 60 college bound students Half asleep and complaining about the time, eight trigo¬ nometry students faithfully came to an 8:15 introductory analysis class. These students voluntary came before school for instruction since the Mathematics Department did not offer this course in its regular curriculum. The chairman of the Mathe¬ matics Department, Miss Mildred Henderson, supervised the class every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. In regular classes, the Math Department used graphs, drawings and calculations to develop interest in mathematics. Students also learned such concepts as parabola, Descartes Rule of Signs and binary system. New equipment, textbooks and teaching methods aroused students interest, too. Smaller eighth and ninth grade classes made it possible for students to receive more individual help. Re-sectioning of Algebra I classes at the end of the first semester helped many students gain further instruction in difficult areas of algebra. To teach graphing the Algebra II teachers used a new rectangular coordinate board. Geometry students used new geometric solids and surfaces to help them visualize objects which they had learned to construct. College bound seniors took trigonometry and Algebra III for a half semester each to prepare themselves for higher mathematics that they will take in college. Business math, a course in problems of percentage, interest and discount prepared students for commercial and secretarial courses in college. Having solved a quadratic equation in Mr. William Wicker’s Algebra 1 class, sophomore Ronnie Vaughan smiles in delight at the fantastic answer.

Outlining the chapter and answering questions helps physical science students Richard Bradley and Ralph Barker learn the fundamentals of science. 64 goal of knowledge By instruction of discharging of electricity, producing flam¬ mable hydrogen and dissecting grasshoppers, the Science De¬ partment strove to encourage students to apply knowledge. The department spent more time in planning the sources and material to be covered in class. More qualified teachers lectured, instructed lab periods and assigned students individual reports. After students took standardized tests, and teachers graded the tests, students usually got a feeling of self-accomplishment and the department got a feeling of satisfaction. For the first time the department furnished all science students with a monthly pamphlet, Science World, designed to keep students aware of the fast changing world of science. Puzzled by a question proposed by one of his earth science students, Mr. Robert Barnes, Jr., pauses in his lecture to think for a minute before replying. Chemistry students concentrate on one of the standardized chemistry class experiments, workbook assignments and reports given by chemistry tests which Mr. Hugh Gravitt gives to his students.

The band members and Concert Band. After the daily practice sessions the Concert Band presents their conductor worked many long and hard hours. Music Department offers valuable experience “Music should be a part of each student’s life,” Mr. Jimmy Tussey, chairman of the Music Department, believes. By offering three bands and two choral groups the department tries to fulfill its aim. The Concert Band, the Cadet Band and the Beginner Band, along with the Concert Choir and the Ninth and Eighth Grade choruses, make up the Music Department. Three extracurricular groups that are associated with this department are the Drill Corps, the Pep Band and the Vocal Ensemble. Each of these has a busy schedule. The band, Concert Choir and the Girls’ Chorus performed at the Veterans’ Day, Christ¬ mas and Easter assemblies as well as presenting their regular Christmas and Spring concerts. Yet, they found time for special concerts at the elementary schools in the county. The band performed at all home football and basketball games. It also marched in a number of parades in this as well as surrounding counties. This summer it participated in the Sun Fun Festival at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Many special performances are made by the Vocal Ensemble and Girls’ Chorus. The Vocal Ensemble appeared at numerous banquets for the civic clubs during the year. They also presented a radio Christmas Concert and a Candlelight Service. The Ensemble also provided entertainment for honor society induc¬ tions and the District SCA meeting held here in the fall. Instructing her ninth grade chorus is Miss Judy Lunsford; Girls Chor us, Beginner Chorus and English 8; Greensboro College, B.

S. History in the eleventh g rade. sponsors essay on democracy in America Studying the bulletin board in the county sheriffs office are the students from the government classes. Adding new textbooks, projectors, slides, filmstrips, charts and maps were only a few of the many things the Social Studies Department did this year. The Social Studies Department is the second largest department in the school. Each of these helped to broaden the department. Once again seniors had the opportunity to participate in Government Day in the county. A committee composed of teachers and students appointed students to positions and nominated them for elected positions. Seniors registered and voted in government classes following the same procedure as registering to vote in Virginia. The government classes visited the courthouse and jail in Halifax, Virginia. They also visited Prison Camp No. 23 and toured the premises of the camp in April. Eighth grade pupils won acclaim through their history displays. The projects were judged by the individual classes because there were too many entries for joint participation. With Mr. Phillips as adviser for the contestants, the depart¬ ment helped with the Voice of Democracy Contest sponsored by the V.F.W. Joanne Stevens was the local winner, receiving a $25.00 Savings Bond. The department encouraged excellence in history by the presentation of awards each year to the outstanding senior and eighth grade student. This year John Brunk took the senior award and Jeff Chandler won the eighth grade award. Geography, economics, U.S. History 11,8, world history and U.S. government were the courses offered by the Social Studies Department. Each student must have three units of social studies in order to graduate, including U. S. history, government and world history or geography. 69 Listening to Miss Julia Tuck, chairman of the Social Studies Department, give a talk on Cuba are (left to right) Mr. Shelton Gore; geography; East Carolina College, A.

Every night from 6:30 until 9:30 students and adults came into the school’s library to check out books for research papers, projects and general reference work. In March the library started this added service as a convenience to the school and com¬ munity. Busy librarians checked in and out an average of 200 books and 30 magazines per day. They also instructed all eight grade students in the use of the library and aided the 550 students who used the library during study halls each day. Six hundred and sixty nine new books graced the library shelves. A valuable sea shell collection donated by the family of the late Mrs. Tucker C. Watkins, Jr., was another addition. It is now on permanent display. Because of the great demand for more recent information than that which can be found in the books, the library gets eight newspapers and 116 magazines and pamphlets for the use of students. After two months the newspapers are discarded, but the magazines and pamphlets are put in the periodical room of the library and kept on record for five years. Students gather information about the locations of these by use of the card catalogues, pamphlet file and “Readers Guide.” The library is open to students from 8:30 to 4:00, and 8:00 to 4:00 for the teachers and administration. Working on a display in the library are Mrs. Patty Hicks; Librarian, William and Mary, A.B. and Mrs. Jean Church, Teacher’s Aide Librarian, Mary Washington College. They prepare many such displays yearly in relation to the various periods in literature for the benefit of the students. They also display the eighth grade history projects in the library throughout the year. 71 Physical Education Department emphasizes need Discussing the fundamentals and the importance of tumbling are (left to right) Miss Pattie Jordon; Phys.

Ed. 9; New York University, B.S.; GAA sponsor. Each of these teachers teach a total of five classes per day. Playing softball in their fifth period physical education class are Linda Hancock and Patsy Puryear. Participating in one of the intramural basketball games are Jim Boyd, Butch Parker, Ronnie Pate and Frank Murray. 72 for competitive sports “There is a great need for exercise and competitive sports in our lives,” says Mrs. Paulita Patterson, chairman of the Physical Education Department. Since the physical education program is designed primarily for the present needs of the boys and the girls as well as their future needs, the physical ed. teachers urge the students to take a part in the so called “life time sports.” These sports are bowling, golf and swimming. With the adding of the boys’ intramural basketball program and the intramural track meet the Boys’ Physical Ed. Depart¬ ment kept busy. The Girls’ Physical Ed. Department also kept busy with the GAA. This year the GAA was well organized. It gave its members the chance to participate in tennis, volleyball, tumbling, bowling and track and field. In the fall and spring, girls participated in such activities as hockey, soccer, tennis, softball, archery and golf. The boys played touch football, basketball, volleyball and ran track. During the winter months, the girls played basketball, volleyball and tumbled in the auxiliary gym, while the boys used the main gym to hold obstacle course relays and to tumble. Physical education is required of all eighth, nineth and tenth grade students. If he takes band, he can substitute band for phys. ed. after having one year of the subject. This is due to the fact that the students have so many courses to take, that they do not have time for both band and phys. ed. Mrs. Patterson also teaches her students how to knit. She feels that knitting helps strengthen the finger muscles. Coach Bill Momingstar confers with his varsity basketball players before a home game. Besides coaching varsity basketball he teaches Phys. Ed. 8, coaches cross country and is the chairman of the Boys’ Physical Education Department. He has an A.B. degree from Elon College. Conversing about some new ideas about football are Mr. Danny Carver: Phys. Ed. 8,9; Pfeiffer College, B.S.; Head JV Football Coach, Head Baseball Coach; Mr. Bristol Martin; Phys.

Deborah Fisher, Betty Williams and Edith Marable prepare a soup course in Mrs. Annie Belle Daniel’s first period class. Getting ready to use the overhead projector in a Home Economics Department meeting, Mrs. Doretha Gay explains a point. A graduate of Virginia State with a B. S. Degree, Mrs. Gay teaches Home Ec. 8. Other members of the department are (seated) Mrs. Lois Swanson, Sociology 12, Home Ec. 9, East Tennessee College, B. S., University of Tennessee, M. S.; Mrs. Glennis Greenwood, Home Economics 10, 12, Longwood College, B. S. and Mrs. Annie Belle Daniel, Home Ec. 9, 11, 12, Longwood College, B. S. Mrs. Daniel was chairman of the department for this year. Sewing is another part of the curriculum so Mrs. Doretha Gay shows eighth graders Jacqueline Womack how to thread the machine during first period. 74 methods concerning home management Serving tea to Bill Baskervill at the All-Sports Banquet is Patricia Yancy. The department provides girls to serve at the school banquets. What? The smell of hot biscuits baking in the oven? That could be coming only from the administrative floor where the Home Economics Department is located. Most any day students going to the office get a whiff of the good things that the home ec. students are whipping up in the classrooms where the teachers are trying to teach girls the modern methods of cooking and other areas of home management. Each student receives personal instruction in developing the essential skills and basic beliefs that will prepare her for future responsibilities as a homemaker. Home economics provides experience in the selection and preparation of food and in the planning and serving of meals. In addition to cooking, each girl learns to repair simple electrical appliances, to select and sew garments, to prepare a family budget and to care for children. During each unit of study the girls have home projects relating to a given topic. Outside the classroom, the girls serve at various banquets and meetings, and those who choose to do so become members of the Future Homemakers of America, a club closely related to the home ec. curriculum. The department offers courses to girls in grades 8 through 12. Sociology, a half-year course dealing with family living and social problems, is offered to girls and boys in the junior and senior classes. Since the department tries to co-operate all it can with other departments in the school, Liz Atkins works on some of the “Bye Bye Birdie” costumes. 75 Vocational Three members of the Vocational Agriculture Department are (left to right) Mr. Jesse Crews, Vocational Agriculture 8, 9, V.P.I., B.S.; Mr. Currie Lacks, Shop 8-12, V.P.I., B.S. and Mr. Lealand Luck, Vocational Agriculture 8, 10, Virginia State College, B.S. More and more, agriculture education is putting stress in the classroom on farm management. At the DE Club Employer-Employee Banquet in May, Linda Walker (right) won a prize for her display of women’s fashions that her employer, Mrs. Rawley Fuller, is inspecting with such admiration. With heart-felt thanks. Principal J. Marshall Swanson accepts from DE Club president Berkley Blanks a plaque symbolizing honorary membership in the club. 76 I Department trains students for full-time jobs Training students for full-time employment after graduation, the Vocational Department offers valuable services to the school as well. The DE, ICT and vocational agriculture programs make up this department. Besides learning the fundamentals of farming, students in vocational agriculture often help various clubs and organizations in working on projects or building floats. The boys also drive the tractors which pull the floats in the Homecoming parade. In class, students learn fundamental mechanical skills, the proper planting and harvesting methods and correct animal care. Industrial Cooperative Training gives qualified juniors and seniors a chance to train in technical and medical occupations for a career after graduation. Parttime jobs in their chosen fields help to provide pupils with proper training and techniques. Distributive Education prepares students for fulltime em¬ ployment in a distributive occupation. After graduation, DE students may secure jobs in retail, wholesale or any type of service establishment. DE students provide the school with a valuable service by running the school store, which provides school supplies and lunch tickets. In the shop Mr. James Cardwell supervises the work of some students. Mr. Cardwell, chairman of the Vocational Agriculture Department, has an A.B. Degree from Lynchburg and teaches Ag. 8, 11, 12. ICT students Ronnie Epps and Chris Gravitt work after classes in the machine shop of Halifax Cotton Mills in South Boston. Both ICT and DE give on-the-job training to the students in their departments. 77 Vocational Department pupils prepare displays ‘FIR WITH? Arranging a display is one of the jobs of DE students. Danny Overby and Linda Walker prepare one on occupations. Each year the Vocational Agriculture Department gives the Star Chapter Farmer Award to its outstanding student. At Class Night Mr. Swanson presented it to Ronnie Roller. Other Vocational Department faculty members are Mr. M. H. Herndon, DE 11, 12, VPI, B.S.; Mr. Billy Boswell, DE 11, 10, VPI, B.S. and Mr. Mickey Blain, ICT 11, 12, William and Mary, B.S. After classes are over, these men co-ordinate their students’ on-the-job training with their classroom work. 78 On-the-job training can take many forms. ICT student Faye Anderson gives Mrs. Bill Confroy a permanent in the shop where she works when she leaves school after attending classes for four periods. Vocational students receive one-and-a-half credits for their work in the department. 79 Co-operation, individualism allow clubs to achieve goals Since individualism and co-operation have always been the two essentials for any organization, nowhere are they more evident than in the activities of the organizations. It is the individual club presidents who plan meetings, launch projects and urge each member of the club to do his best. The spirit of co-operation among these students make the meetings informa¬ tive, the projects successful and the work fulfilling. Further¬ more, individual clubs work together as a whole to make the Homecoming parade, the Spring Fair and Language Week. Within each club there is the incalculable achievement, distinction and pride of each member. Only when these qualities of each member are used and co-ordinated does the whole club become one of achievement, distinction and pride. Likewise, only when all of the qualities of each club are used and co-ordinated, does the activities department become the success that it can be.

SCA sponsors SCA president Ricky Michaels worked for a more active and effective SCA. 84 Eighth, ninth and tenth grade members of the SCA are (bottom row) Ann Hankins, Donna McDowell, Ann Swaim, Mary Ruth Burton, Hannah Patterson, Earl Satterfield, Tony Garrard, Carl Throckmorton, Dean Coates, (second row) Laura Shelton, Jane Porter, Gayle Anderson, Vicky Martin, Kim Anderson, Patricia Yancey, Sally Sizemore, Leigh Johnson, Jean Whitlow, (third row) Dorothy Clements, Hollis Humphreys, Meg Haugh, Debra Pruett, Jackie Roark, Judy Wooding, Trisha Guthrie, Elaine Comer, Beverly Tuck (fourth row) Jim Boyd, Larry Dixon, Allen Parham, Nelson Thompson, Lydia Miller, Shelley Peace, Jean Whitlow, Debra Claycomb, Carol Rickman, (fifth row) Jack Weatherford, Alan Gravitt, Aubrey Forlines, Jay Lewis and Cindy Fralin. dance commission, orientation for eighth grade SCA representative, Trisha Guthrie, reads and discusses the minutes of the last SCA meeting with her ninth-grade homeroom. Every other Tuesday 75 students crowd into a classroom and discuss school problems. Sometimes they have solutions; some¬ times only apathy. The SCA, however, links the administration and students and its solutions serve them both. The main link is Ricky Michaels, SCA president, who began the new year with an orientation for eighth-graders. SCA representatives showed them how to find their way around the school and helped the eighth-grade homeroom teachers inform them about school policy. In September the SCA was host to the SCA District Conference. Representing HCHS, Betsy Davis and Barry Ford led discussion groups about cheating and types of SCA projects. Popcorn and ice-cold Cokes sold by the finance committee, headed by Fred Freidenstein, increased the SCA treasury to over $1200. The money paid for the Western District high school flags and the new Virginia flag in the gym. Two hundred dollars was also donated to the Halifax County Scholarship Foan Fund. A dance commission headed by Barry Ford investigated the possibilities of bringing dances back after three years and sent a ten page report to the school board. The board gave permission for a spring dance. The SCA sponsored the annual Christmas drive to get food and toys for underprivileged children. 85 Junior and senior SCA representatives axe (first row) Jan Ingle, Cindy Louie Piechota, Lewis Boyles, Stacy Wilbourne, DeDe Miller, Kathy Thaxton, Connie Crews, Calvin Henderson, Tommy Thompson, Dickie Wood, (fourth row) Barry Ford, Mike Moorefield, Jackie Caldwell, Skip Black, (second row) Gerry Lovelace, Mary E.

Mike Bray was elected president; Tommy Satterfield, vice-president; Cindy Thaxton, secretary; JoAnne Nunn, reporter; Laura Shelton, treasurer and Luther Matthews, sergeant-at-arms. With the approach of spring an Honor Week was sponsored the last week of March to recognize those students in the honor societies and to impress upon the student the importance of honor to himself and the school. The constitutional committee with Betsy Davis as chairman began work on a new SCA student handbook to be published next year. A beauty pageant, games and food booths were all included at the annual Spring Fair in April. The fair gave individual clubs a chance to increase their treasuries while providing enter¬ tainment for everyone. In May the new officers were installed into office during a candlelight ceremony in the gym. During the assembly in May a skit entitled “How Litter Began” was presented to the student body. The skit, written and presented by state SCA president Jimmy Priest, impressed upon the students and teachers the importance of keeping the school and community free of litter. The SCA sponsored the skit in connection with the state SCA theme of “Keep America Beautiful!” SCA alternate Wanda Snead reads SCA devotions over the PA. 86 At the SCA Fair, Sophomore, Gayle Carden picks out old yearbook pictures to buy at the Quill and Scroll photo booth. The night before the annual Christmas assembly, SCA representa¬ tives Fred Freidenstein, Kent Thompson, Barry Ford and Mary Jane Roark decorate the huge Christmas tree in the gym with tinsel. Toys, clothes and food for needy children were placed under the tree. Freshman Cindi Parker serves her time in the stocks in the Pep Club games at the Spring Fair. Other clubs offered cake walks, dart throwing, a “jail” during the SCA Spring Fair on May 1. The Pep Club had three Miss HCHS pageant, a night club and a basketball throw. 87 Members of the NHS are (first row) Danny Rudder, Jan Cole, Ann Jennings, Shirley Younger, Janet Cage, Dixie Collins, Scott Hill, Cyd Benner, Martha McManniss, Debbie Forlines, Teresa Wilboume, Jen Lee Elliott, Sandra Lacks, Janice Earp, Kathy Roark, Robin Owens, (second row) Barry Ford, Charles Bagwell, Ricky Michaels, David Morgan, Jimmy Priest, Terry Averett, George Schiers, Calvin Henderson, Fred Freiden- stein, Ann Hazelwood, Anita Hudson, Susan Short, Pat Talley, (third row) George Anderson, Debra Poole, Kay Owen, Judy Brandon, Betsy Davis, DeDe Miller, Rucker McCanless, Connie Crews, Belinda Satterfield, Katherine Emory, Wanda Trickey, Faye Ingram, Sue Fultz, Mary E.

NHS, NJHS tap versatile, industrious pupils HCHS principal, J. M. Swanson leads both the new and old members of the National Honor Society in the honor society pledge. Scholarship, leadership, character and service are all needed before a student can be inducted into an honor society at HCHS. A student must have a 90 or above average since the beginning of the ninth grade to become a member of the National Honor Society while a member of the National Junior Honor Society must have an average of 91 since the eighth- grade. A committee composed of faculty members evaluates each candidate’s qualifications after the whole faculty has voted on them. The NHS provided marshals and ushers for the graduation exercises. The juniors also entertained the senior members with a picnic at the end of the year. The NJHS provided guides for College-Career Night. At the annual Spring Fair NJHS members made money by sponsoring a horror house. Members of tire NJHS are (first row) H. Humphreys, L. Shelton, J. Nester, B. Satter¬ field, C. Ridgeway, J. Duffer, T.

Booker, Donnie Anderson, Teresa DeBruhl, Mary Jane Roark and Robyn Robbins. “Talk a little louder.” “Use more expression; don’t just read the lines!” “Where are all the props?” These are a fe w of the commands Miss Phyllis Foy and Mrs. Dorothy Crews shout to the actors and actresses as they rehearse their lines. Students must have acted on stage or worked with the stage crew for two or more plays in order to become members of the National Thespian Troupe. The ten members of the society composed the main parts of the casts for the one-act play and “Bye Bye Birdie” this year. The one-act play won a superior rating in Western District competition at Jefferson Senior High School in early March. The highest rating is excellent. Staff members on the GALAXY and STAR rushed to meet deadlines. Those who rushed the fastest and the best became members of the Quill and Scroll. To become eligible for membership in the journalism society a staff member must be in the upper third of their class in scholastic standing and have done superior work for at least one semester in scholastic journalism. Furthermore, they must be either juniors or seniors and have the recommendation of Mr. Richard Fitz, adviser for the STAR, or Miss Nancy Collins, adviser for the GALAXY. Outstanding journalism students attended the CSPA conven¬ tion in New York and the SIPA convention in Lexington, Virginia. This year the Quill and Scroll also sponsored a picture booth at the annual Spring Fair. Members of the Quill and Scroll are (first row) Doug Crawford; Teresa DeBruhl; Judy Moore; Barbara Crews; David Morgan; Nancy Houghton; Janice Earp; (second row) Charles Bagwell; Ricky Michaels; Robin Owens; Kathy Roark; Scott Hill; Laura Stanford; Joan Blanks; Sue Fultz; (third row) Calvin Henderson; Carol Benner; Connie Crews; DeDe Miller; Patricia Fox; Betsy Davis; Jen Lee Elliot; Sandra Neal; (fourth row) Johnny Wade; Bill Baskervill; Dennis Ford; Bruce Booker; Danny Crosby; Johnny Anderson; Mike Bray; Gary Walton; (fifth row) Mr. Richard Fitz, adviser; Barry Ford; Gerry Lovelace; Jack Clement and Andy Wilkins.

Working as a group on many different projects during the year, the Art Club found many chances to stress the importance of the appreciation of art. Beginning the year the club members designed and built a Boat for the annual Homecoming parade. Their creation, which showed a number of artists painting a large paper bulldog and a sign exhorting “Smear the Bulldogs,” won third place in the judging and won a $3 prize. Throughout the year Mrs. Ann Ford and Mr. Charles Frick, club advisers, arranged for club members to display individual work in the lobby display case for other students and the community to view. One week the club displayed paintings by Mrs. Rae Dowdy of South Boston. Joining with the Drama and Music Departments the Art Club helped with the production of “Bye Bye Birdie” in the spring. Designing colorful posters and painting a large sign in front of the school, the club members were partly responsible for the excellent publicity for the musical. Members of the club also helped design and paint the background scenes for the play. Many of the members aided the junior class in decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom in May. This social event was but another chance for the members to show an outstanding individual effort and work together as a team to achieve outstanding results, as the Art Club did all year. Art Club members Gail Anderson, Robin Cage, Robbie Wooding and John Greer ride on the club float in the Homecoming parade in South Boston. 90 HCHS negative debaters Charles Bagwell and Ricky Michaels discuss Tom Phillips, debate coach. Charles and Ricky finished second in the strategy for the upcoming Western District forensic tournament with Mr. meet behind E. C. Glass of Lynchburg. Affirmative debaters win Western District title For the second time in three years, the affirmative debate team won first place in the Western District forensic tournament and the right to go to the state tournament at the University of Virginia. Janice Earp and Garry Walton, affirmative partners, compiled a 3—0 record at Lynchburg in April and a 4-2 record at Charlottesville although they did not finish in the top three places there. Also at the district meet Ricky Michaels and Charles Bagwell, negative team members, finished second. The fine district showing was the climax of a year of hard work for all of the team members in their first year under Mr. Tom Phillips, debate coach. Beginning work in September, Mr. Phillips planned the year around several tournaments. Preparing cases and gathering information until February, Pat Talley, Janice Earp, David Morgan and Charles Bagwell then went to the Wake Forest University invitational tournamen t. These team members returned with a 3—5 overall slate. In March Joanne Nunn, Angela Hedgepeth, Larry Younger, Garry Walton and Ricky Michaels participated in the annual University of Richmond tournament. The team achieved a 4—2 record and Ricky won an outstanding speakers’ award. The team also scheduled several matches with local schools to prepare for the district meet. The team really had a full year, one that required much individual time to achieve the district championship. The teamwork required from the members gave them all a year to be proud of. Western District affirmative champions Janice Earp and Garry Walton review their case before going to the state 1-A tournament in Charlottesville. HALISCOPE staff chooses HALISCOPE staff members are (bottom row) Jackie Cole; Linda Shelton; Patricia Fox; Mary Jane Roark; Judy Moore; (second row) Jo Anne Canada; Laura Stanford; Joan Lawter, Robin Owens; Carol Trope; Wanda Snead; Carolyn Henderson; (third row) Mr. Richard Fitz, adviser, Ronnie Pate; Nancy Houghton; Skip Seabolt; Stuart Maxwell and Jack Caldwell. HALISCOPE Editor-in-chief Janice Earp contemplates the year ahead and the many problems inherent to the production of a top-quality yearbook. 92 9x12 book for first time in HCHS history Staff photographer Ricky Michaels prepares to take a picture for later use in the senior section of the book. Bigger! If one word could describe the overall attitude of the 1968 HALISCOPE and its staff, that was it, for the book itself was bigger than ever before—with a new 9-inch by 12-inch size. And that meant bigger pictures and more copy and wider coverage. The twenty-eight staff members working together responded to the bigger size by setting a goal of 1025 subscriptions and by selling more copies than ever before. And they used the bigger book to portray more effectively every phase of school life, including such divisions as student life, curriculum, athletics, activities, seniors, underclassmen, and advertising. Published by the English 12J class under the direction of Mr. R.J. Fitz, the new-sized HALISCOPE tried to continue the heri¬ tage which includes two consecutive Medalists from CSPA and an SIPA Trophy. Since bigger usually denotes better, the staff tried to improve on that heritage. Beginning work in September, the staff designed the cover, made page lay-outs, wrote copy, proofed pages and, finally, sent the book to the Delmar Printing Company for publication. With a bigger size the finished product carried a bigger satis¬ faction for those who worked with it. And it offered bigger rewards for those who purchased a book during the subscription drive in November. It was, in reality, a big year for the HALISCOPE. Section editors David Morgan, Charles Bagwell, Cal¬ vin Henderson, Barry Ford and Barbara Crews select pictures to use in the different divisions of the yearbook.

The Medalist rating, which is the top award that any publication may receive, is the result of many individuals working together to produce a winning effort. Working under the direction of Mr. Richard J. Fitz, adviser, and Jack Clement, editor-in-chief, the staff published a paper every two weeks. Beginning on the first Tuesday of the two-week period, reporters received story assignments. Using an individual effort the reporters gathered information for the stories and turned a finished story in to the copy editors for proofreading by the next Tuesday. On Wednesday night the editors designed page layouts using the stories, pictures, columns and editorials. The following day the editors placed the copy on sheets for publication at the newspaper office in South Boston. Then on Friday the paper was published, distributed to lockers, mailed or sold in the lobby. Although only fourteen staff members were delegates to the annual CSPA convention, where the Medalist was presented, everyone concerned with the publication of the STAR deserves credit for the top rating; for they each helped to give the school a newspaper to be proud of. The STAR is, as the Columbia judge said, “a credit to the institution that sponsors it.” Business managers Betsy Davis and Robin Owens, Copy editors Dede Miller and Bruce Booker and Sports Editor Mike Bray prepare STAR pages. 95 Galaxy’ staffers work through year to produce Editors Janet Milhiser, Scott Hill and Mary Adkisson compare poems submitted by members of the student body for publication. Circulation manager Sharon Parker shows Clyde Lloyd and Jim Strange an interesting short story in the “Galaxy” in an attempt to make a sale. Reading chairman Charlotte Corelle and Jen Lee Elliott watch as copy editor Janice Earp designs a “Galaxy” page to serve as a guide for the printer. Prose and poetry written by students only was selected for use in the literary magazine which is published only once a year. 96 magazine late in May Constantly seeking improvement during its five year histroy, the “Galaxy” reached a new plateau in recognition with the 1967 issue: an honor rating from the Southern Interscholastic Press Association. This rating was one step higher than the awards received in the past by the literary magazine, yet a rating which possibly will be surpassed by the new edition published in May. Starting in September the staff, under the direction of Miss Nancy Collins and Miss Phyllis Foy, advisers, collected poetry and prose by students to use in the magazine. Often the students themselves submitted short stories and poems and often the material was selected by English teachers from class compositions. Reading the material and selecting the best, the staff began to make a general form for the issue by designing pages and typing copy sheets. To get money for publication the staff obtained student donations and sold advertisements. The magazine was then published and sold to students for fifty cents. Heading the staff was Sue Fultz, editor-in-chief. Under her were seven associate editors and a staff of 38, the largest in the history of the “Galaxy.” Working together all of them produced a magazine which may take another step forward. Editor-in-chief Sue Fultz proofreads magazine entries before sending them to the printer for inclusion in the newest “Galaxy.” “Galaxy” staff members are (first row) Janet Milhiser; Mary Adkisson; Sharon Parker; Scott Hill; Andy Wilkins; Sue Fultz; Janice Earp; Jo Ann Stevens; (second row) Miss Nancy Collins, adviser; Jen Lee Elliott; Barbara Crews; Judy Moore; Janet Lawter; Charlotte Corelle; Gail Anderson; Aubrey Forlines; (third row) Teresa Cole; Sharon Holland; Sandra Tate; Cary Carrington; Debbie Hudson; Mary Sanders Brooks; Betty Puryear; Robbie Wooding; John Greer; (fourth row) Faye Ingram; Sandra Neal; Joyce Fisher; Stokely Holland; Jan Ingle; Sandra Day; Lewis Davis; Jack Weatherford; (fifth row) Mike Austin; Randy Tuck; Tommy Eggleston; Kenneth Cranford; Janet Nester; Jane Mason; Alberta Cabiness; Jim Boyd; (sixth row) George Fultz; Larry Jennings; Cory New; Bill Thomason and Herbert Mills. 97 Library Assistants are (bottom row) JoAnne Overby, Jackie Saunders, Linda Elliott, Dale Carmichael, Nancy Respess, Joan Dalton, Teresa Short, Susie Poole (second row) Pat Woody, Candice Blane, Billy Jean Heath, Linda Moore, Becky Childrey, Barbara Moore, Linda Tuggle, Nancy Anderson (third row) Ginger Cliehhans, Vicky Conner, Wanda Overby, LaJanice Jones, Carolyn Jones, Rosa Myers, Margie Carr, Deborah Williams (fourth row) Lloyd Cole, Tommy Mayo, Jim Irby, Dennis Arendall, Kenneth Crews, Titus Burgess, Ray Moorefield and Johnny Pottage.

Besides checking books in and out, they continue work each day mending and shelving books, collecting fines, selling paperbacks and typing cards. This work is during their study halls each day. Student librarians receive a half credit for their work. Other than actually working in the library, the assistants learn more about their duties through work sheets, tests and personal supervision from Mrs. Pattye Hicks, assistant librarian. The HCHS Library Club is affiliated with the district organization, Student Library Assistants of District E (SLADE). Through this club students exchange ideas and experiences with other school librarians and learn about the care of materials. The projectionists devote their study halls to better the education of the HCHS students by audio visual programs. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Andrew Bohannon, projectionists learn the use, maintenance and operation of the projectors. Meetings are held once a month, and at this time films are shown and instructions given in the care of equipment. “Because the projectionists work during study halls,” comments Mr. Bohannon, “I think their time and service should be appreciated by all.” Performing one of the duties of a student library assistant, Cheryl Rogers is shelving books during her study hall. Besides shelving books, assistants also learn the care and process of mending them.

This exciting entry was only one of the many projects the FHA participated in during the past year under the sponsorship of Mrs. Annie Belle Daniels. In the fall members helped work on the Homecoming float and a Mother Daughter Banquet highlighted the spring. To climax a year of hard work, several members and an adviser will attend the FHA—FFA summer camp near Smithfield, Virginia for a week. Besides working on special projects these future home economists work through their classes for degrees of achieve¬ ments. They may get a junior degree, chapter degree or state degree which are awarded at the annual Mother—Daughter Banquet. Meetings are held once a month during the schoolday where members have the chance to hear various speakers on subjects related to homemaking. This year members heard a banker speak about managing money, a consumer talk about false advertising, a home economist speak about making Christmas presents and a student tell about how to co-ordinate clothes economically.

The band serenaded the beauty queen in the March festivities when Mayor William Covington present¬ ed her with the key to Halifax. But playing for Miss America, although probably the most exciting event, was not the only activity for the Concert Band. Their activities ranged from marching and playing in eight parades to selling doughnuts. Besides participating in five Christmas parades, the Concert Band was part of the Homecom¬ ing and Veterans’ Day parades. Selling doughnuts was the project that enabled the Band to go to Myrtle Beach to perform in the Sun Fun Festival parade. “It is a great honor to be invited to this parade and the band worked very hard in order to go,” Mr. Tussey said. Money from the doughnut sales also went to buy new uniforms, instruments and equipment for the band. Christmas and spring concerts were special band projects. Performing with the Concert Choir and alone, the band played several selections at each concert. Also, the band furnished the music for the Spring Production, “Bye Bye Birdie.” Lettergirls Terri Pulliam, Becky Glover, Ginger Pollard, Brenda Barksdale and Joyce Fisher lead the way in the Homecoming parade. 103 Band plays at Westinghouse groundbreaking.

Members of the Concert Choir sing the “Hallelujah Chorus” during the annual Easter assembly sponsored by the SCA. 106 while Vocal Ensemble sings for small groups Instructing the Concert Choir as to the rhythm of a selection, Mr. Jimmy Tussey demonstrates one of his many jobs as director. Participation in concerts and assemblies was one of the most frequent activities of the Concert Choir. Besides presenting Christmas, Easter and Spring concerts, the choir was a big part of Veterans’ Day, Christmas and Easter assemblies. Because of the choir’s large size, its activities were limited. When a smaller group was needed, the Vocal Ensemble sang. The Ensemble is a group of select voices taken from the Concert Choir on a try-out basis. The Ensemble’s activities included performing at numerous civic club banquets, presenting a radio Christmas concert, singing at honor society inductions and at a Christmas Candlelight service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Halifax and providing entertainment for the District SCA meeting here last fall. Both the Concert Choir and the Ensemble made recordings which were used for the “church-o-gram” radio broadcast. Eight members of the Concert Choir attended the All-State- All-District Choir at Northside High School in Roanoke in February. Of the eight, three students, Terri Pulliam, Joyce Fisher and David Moore, were chosen to attend the All-Virginia chorus in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia. A large part of the cast of “Bye Bye Birdie” came from the choir. The teen chorus, teen trio, telephone chorus and Rucker McCanless, one of the principal characters, were members of the Concert Choir. The Girls’ Chorus and the Eighth Grade Chorus also took part in many of the assemblies during the year. They got much experience which will aid them in trying out for the Concert Choir.

The bus drivers are responsible for the safety of their pas¬ sengers and are constantly reminded of their job. The club adopt¬ ed an honor roll system last year to honor those drivers with outstanding records. The system, based on a certain number 01 points, includes the daily duties of all bus drivers. The drivers are given points according to the neatness of their bus and their promptness in getting to school. Drivers must be in the buses when the students are loading and unloading and they are responsible for parking the bus they drive in the right order in the bus parking lot. The grading of each driver is done by a fellow driver and each one’s points are turned into Mr. Hudson who posts in the lobby each month those making the honor roll. Helpers and important assistants to the bus drivers are mem¬ bers of the safety patrol. Two patrolmen are assigned to each bus, one to take care of the front and one to take care of the rear of the bus. Members of the safety patrol assist students get¬ ting on and off the buses and help keep order on the buses. The patrolmen do not direct traffic but are concerned mainly with the safety of the students. Patrolmen are responsible for re¬ porting any damage to the bus and any discipline problems to the driver who in turn reports it to the proper school authority to administer the discipline to the students. Each member of the safety patrol must make sure that the students on his bus sit in their assigned seats. This is done to keep the students from be¬ coming noisy which would tend to bother the bus driver. The safety patrol was a newly formed club this year. Its pur¬ pose was to give its members some of the responsibilities of the bus drivers in order that they would not be so burdened. Members of the Bus Drivers’ Club are (bottom row) Ted Crews, Wallace Dalton, Wayne Montgomery, Joe Lloyd, Henry Crews, Doug Cifers, Dan¬ ny Francis, Donald Bomar, Kenneth Cullop, Willie Slayton, (second row) Danny Rudder, Donald Loftis, Dennis Murray, Rhonda Short, James Wilson, Bill Tuck, Larry Saunders, Bill Crews, (third row) Tommy Wil¬ liams, Roger Snead, Ray Montgomery, Stokely Holland, Alex Williamson, Hugh Vassar, Billy Wilkerson and Jim Irby. 110 Members of the Science Club are (bottom row) Mike Austin, Anne Jen¬ nings, Sharon Holland, Katherine Emory, Jen Lee Elliott, Stokely Hol¬ land, Barry Blanks, Danny Crosby, Tommy Markham, (second row) Mr. Harold Brown, Becky Emory, Bonnie Forlines, Ramah Overton, Hollie Hutchinson, Ann Swaim, Ann Strickland, Shannon Markham.

Five Science Club members take first in fair First place Science Fair winners Danny Crosby and Jen Lee Elliott set up equipment for their fair projects. The annual Science Fair which was in March allowed many students to express themselves freely in any scien¬ tific field. Unusual and interesting projects filled the annual Science Club Fair sponsored by the Hali-Hi-Sci in March. According to Mr. Harold Brown, sponsor, “Members and non-members of the club showed more participation this year than any other year.” Dues of 50 cents for members and 75 cents for non-members were required for persons entering the fair. Among the first place winners were Carolyn Henderson and Jen Lee Elliott, chemistry; Chris King, physics; Susan Palmer, earth science; Danny Crosby, biology. Scott Hill, a second place winner with her project “Proof of the Pythagorean Theo¬ rem,” won a Citation Certificate at the regionals in Roanoke. Among the many other activities of the club was a picnic sponsored in the spring. Club members went to Staunton River State Park where they enjoyed a cookout along with swimming, tennis and other various types of games. Also in the spring the club journeyed to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to Moorehead Planetarium where they viewed the annual Easter production. In March the club toured the Danville Coke Plant where they were shown how drinks are bottled and packed before being dis¬ tributed to the stores. Mr. Brown said, “I hope this year marked the beginning of higher interest in the Science Club and participation in various projects such as the Science Fair for students at HCHS.” 111 Latin Club journeys to Randolph-Macon play.

Students traveled to Lynchburg where they enjoyed the play performed by students at the college. Mrs. Elizabeth Harding, club adviser, remarked, “The play was most enjoyable for me as well as for my students.” In the fall the club attended the play “Lysistrata” at Longwood College. Both of these performances proved to be worth while for the club as well as valuable to their under¬ standing of Latin. At the SCA Spring Fair the Latin Club sponsored a Latin Quarter decorated and dimly lighted to resemble a night club. Those persons attending the fair took advantage of the inn to rest and to enjoy refreshments and conversation with their friends. Admission of 10 cents was charged to make money for the club treasury. The Latin Club played a big part in Language Week in May. Latin II students had a most enjoyable week enslaving Latin I students and putting them up to such stunts as pushing pencils down the lobby with their nose or standing on their head. The club also had some colorful and interesting displays during the week which were done by first and second year students. A Homecoming entry was also sponsored by the Latin Club in the fall entitled “Enslave Them Comets.” Latin Club adviser Mrs. Elizabeth Harding instructs club members of the proceedings for the next meeting. Regular meetings were held throughout the year to discuss plans for the language banquet and Language Week, for the publication of the club’s literary magazine and for the SCA Fair.

Members of the French Club sponsored their annual Christ¬ mas party in December at which the Christmas story and devotions were read in French by second year students. A variety of skits and songs were provided by French students along with refreshments. The highlight of the party, French Honor Society inductions made by Miss Howard, included twenty-nine seniors chosen for scholarship, for desire to work and for further usage of the French language. Any student taking French I or II is eligible to become a member of this honor society. In May, during Language Week, members of the club published a literary magazine, “The Pegasus,” and constructed colorful and interesting bulletin board and lobby displays. A banquet for the language clubs, held in the middle of the week, concluded the week’s activities. The French Club also sponsored a booth in the SCA Spring Fair which was in the form of a gambling booth and a Homecoming entry entitled “Arc de Triumph,” to make extra money for their club. These projects were developed through the effort and teamwork of the French Club members who were willing to give extra time in order to benefit the club. At the language banquet, Mary Jane Roark and Tuck Stewart escort Calvin Henderson alias Charles DeGaulle to be presented to the king and queen. While Sandra Neal tries to get a few words with the Mardi Gras banquet king and queen David Morgan and Jerri Pulliam, Tuck Stewart provides antics. 115 Spanish club activities include Christmas gala.

The entertainment and refreshments were furnished through the co-operation of club members to make what Robin Owens, club president, called “the best Christmas party the Spanish Club has ever had!” The club also took part in the Christmas assembly along with the other language clubs by singing songs in Spanish, such as “Jingle Bells,” which were practiced for the occasion. After long hours of stuffing napkins, painting scenery and making attractive paper flowers from crepe paper, Spanish club members sponsored a float, “Shoot the Bulldogs,” in the Homecoming parade and float competition. Language Week was a big part of the Spanish Club’s busy schedule. Club members were fully in charge of arranging and organizing material to be used during the week. They also took part in the radio program sponsored by the language clubs, by singing songs and reading Spanish stories over the air. The theme was carried out through bulletin board exhibits and in a magazine published by the Spanish students “La Estrella Esponal.” This magazine consisted of essays, poems and jokes which were contributed voluntarily by several members of the club. Any student taking Spanish I, II, III or IV is eligible to become a member of the Spanish Club. Club dues of 50 cents are the only requirement for membership.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Danny Carver, students who joined in September watched the lunch lines for breakers, observed litterbugs and generally kept the cafeteria in order. Monitors not only cleaned the cafeteria, but also decorated it. During the Christmas holidays members hung banners across the cafeteria giving it the season’s festive atmosphere. Working on special projects concerning math, giving reports to the club and organizing Math Week for the school are some of the activities of members of Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society. Each year new members are invited to join the club if they have an overall average of 90 and a 90 average in mathematics for two and one-half years. Members must have completed Algebra 1, Algebra II and geometry. Youth for Christ, open to members of all faiths, met each Wednesday morning for a short devotional period prior to school. At the meetings guest speakers such as The Reverend Ralph Haugh, The Reverend Bob Patterson and visiting evangelists led the morning programs. Having a slightly larger membership this year, members caroled at the convalescent homes over the Christmas holidays and planned a picnic for all members in May. Rather than terminating the club’s activities at the end of the school year, the members decided to have several summer meetings to maybe increase fall membership. Trying to increase their knowledge through books, mem¬ bers of the Great Books Club met once a month throughout the school year. At these meetings they discussed books such as Politics by Aristotle, Macbeth by Shakespeare and The Prince by Machiavelli. .- ' W, Great Books Club members are (bottom row) Katherine Emory, Sue Fultz, Jen Lee Elliott (second row) Sharon Parker, Patricia Fox, Janice Earp (third row) Gail Gupton, Connie Crews, Betsy Davis (fourth row) Mary Cinder Adkisson, Barbara Crews, Rucker McCanless (fifth row) Tommy Eggleston, Gary Walton, Angela Hedgespeth (sixth row) John Wade, John Sherriff.

Pinning up material on an office bulletin board, Mary Eleanor Clements, FTA president, emphasizes Teacher Career Month. 120 members visit schools Helping teachers, coaching students and decorating the school were some of the activities of members of the Future Teachers of America. Each member volunteered to help a teacher by grading tests and homework papers. Students did this work during their study halls or at night. Also if various students needed coaching in a certain subject to pass, an FTA member that excelled in that class helped the student. Throughout the year the future teachers emphasized many special education weeks. In the fall during American Education Week members had a Coke party for teachers, gave flowers and apples to each teacher and arranged interesting scenes on bulletin boards throughout the school. During Teacher Career Month students toured Longwood College and also visited the various elementary schools in Halifax County and South Boston. In the grammar schools the future teachers observed methods of teaching to students below high school level. Members also honored teachers in many special ways including giving teachers flowers and arranging bulletin boards. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Elizabeth Harding, FTA members performed a skit for the Halifax Education Associa¬ tion in February. The name of the skit was “Me, a Teacher?” Riding the FTA float during the Homecoming parade, Mary Jane Owen teaches Comet player Billy Greer how to tackle Martinsville player Darla Raney.

D. Luck advises sophomore Paul Carr. The industrial art’s project is only one of the requirements of the Future Farmers of America. The students are taught safety as well as the correct procedure in completing the projects. The ability to use the machines safely will help the students in their future use of farm equipment as well as protect others. Vocational Agriculture student teachers Mr. Wayne Combs and Mr. Wilboum Harris practice their teaching with the overhead projector. The officers of the FFA are (seated) Ronnie Roller, vice president; Tommy Elliot, president; Wayne Garber, secretary; George Anderson, treasurer; (standing) Larry Hill, sentinel; Carrington Moorefield, reporter. By participating in the local events and in the club meeting, the FFA officers and the club members have made the FFA one of the most successful clubs in school. 122 take part in local, district, regional competition Standing with their steers are Mac Epps, Mr. W. T. Epps, and Bane Epps. Bane, a member of the FFA, received the award of Reserve Champion. Competing for prizes, receiving awards and participating in different club projects were just a few of the activities of the FFA. The Baby Beef Junior Show and Sale, held in April, gave the members a chance to show their ability in raising and caring for animals. Bane Epps received a trophy for his Reserve Champion, Robbie Smith won an award with his Champion Angus and Wayne Roller won the Showmanship Award with his baby beef. Last fall in national competition in Kansas City the livestock judging team won bronze plaques in livestock and meat judging. Mr. Jesse Crews coached the winning team which consisted of a 1967 graduate Jimmy Anderson, Wayne Garber and Edwin Ferrell. The FFA also sponsored a gun safety program in which one hundred fifty received certificates in gun safety. The course lasted four days. Chapter FFA members, teachers and students were among the participants. In the spring the Halifax County High School FFA Chapter received recognition by the Virginia Rural Safety program. Only two FFA Chapters in the state received this recognition. Highlighting the year for the FFA members was the Father-Son Banquet on February 22. Monte Keatts, vice- president of the Virginia Association of the FFA, was the speaker for the annual event. Tommy Elliott awarded the Honorary Chapter Farmer Degree to Mr. Udy Wood. Receiving special awards for placing first in forestry and swine were Ronnie Roller and George Anderson, respectively. George Anderson also won tobacco and record awards. The Honorary Chapter Farmer degree is given to Mr. Udy Wood during the FFA Father-Son Banquet. President Tommy Elliot gives the degree to Mr. Wood as George Anderson and Wayne Garber look on. This award, although one of the most important, is only one of the many awards given at the banquet. 123 Reorganization of Pep Club revives old spirit Enthusiasm and action were the key words for the reor¬ ganized Pep Club. Producing more school spirit was the first project of the club. With more school spirit, the members attended more games than ever before and supported the Comets by yelling with the cheerleaders. During the home games, the members sold pennants and ribbons to the student body. The members, also, earned money by opening a coat check. Although this money increased the treasury of the Pep Club, it also increased the cheerleaders’ treasury when the club donated one hundred dollars for the cheerleaders’ transpor¬ tation to away games. Every Friday the club members helped the cheerleaders prepare the tables and serve the players their lunches. The Pep Club, which became one of the largest clubs at school, increased its membership to approximately two hundred twenty-five members. These members worked together on club projects to help inspire the feeling of school spirit. With the help of sponsors Coach James Barczak and Miss Anne Booth, the club became more organized with a new constitution and membership cards. During the SCA Spring Fair, freshman Beth Hodges tries to make a goal as Coach Jim Barczak gives advice from the sideline. Pep Club president Dede Miller gives head cheerleader Joan Lawter a check for one hundred dollars which will be used for transportation to away games. Members of the Pep Club give a practice yell at one of their meetings this year was sparked by the enthusiastic sponsorship of Coach Barczak after school. The major project of the club was to increase the school and Miss Booth, spirit of the student body.

FBLA represents busi ness in state activities Preparing for her future is Pam Green, President of the FBLA. The members of the FBLA, under the guidance of Mr. Bobby Hall, participated in school activities as well as club activities. By taking part in the Homecoming and Christmas celebrations, the club members showed their interest in the school and their ability in participation. The title of the float, “We’re in the Business to Lick’em,” proved to be the theme for the club. Through the SCA, the club worked together and gave a Christmas box to a needy family in South Boston or Halifax County. In-addition to school activities the FBLA participated in the local meetings, the regional conventions and the state conven¬ tion. The local meetings consisted of the election of officers and the business of the club. The regional convention, held at Longwood College, was a successful one for the FBLA as Laura Lee Hankins placed first place in Public Speaking. Other honors were second place in Parliamentary Law by Jane Roark, Mary Jane Seaton, Teresa Wilboume, Pam Green, Shelby Overby and a superior rating in bulletin board by Pam Green and Teresa Wilboume. Hugh Vassar won a merit rating in the essay contest at the convention. In the state convention in Richmond Laura Lee Hankins represented the region in Public Speaking.

Although other students envy them for leaving school early, Mr. M. H. Herndon and Mr. William Boswell know that their students begin work shortly after they leave. The jobs away from school are not the only jobs of the DE Club. There are the school store, the district contests, the state contests and the homework assignments. One of the most important and helpful jobs of the club is the school store. In addition to making money for the club, the store helps every student who needs school supplies. The DE students also do well in competition. In the District Eight Leadership Contest, held at HCHS this year, Terry Meadows placed second in Sales Demonstration. Linda Walker became the third place winner of the Girl DE Student of the Year and Danny Overby won third place in the Boy DE Student of the Year contest. In April four delegates attended the state meeting in Norfolk. These students were Ethel Clay, Linda Walker, Ronnie Collie and Faye Tribble. At this meeting they won the Superior Club Trophy. During National DE Week the club members displayed their abilities of creation. Bulletin boards and billboards around the school set the atmosphere for the week. Berkley Blanks, president, and Floyd Elliott announced short radio programs about the club over the local station. A banquet at Ernie’s Restaurant highlighted the week. In May the Annual Employer-Employee Banquet became the main attraction. At this banquet Floyd Elliott received the award for the DE Student of the Year and Principal J. M. Swanson received the Honorary Life Membership Award, which is given each year to a deserving person who has shown interest in the DE Club. Also during the banquet Berkley Blanks was given a medal for his outstanding work as club president.

In the District Occupational Contest, which included nine other schools, the students won eleven awards which included several first places. Among the first place award winners were Claudia Perkins, spelling; J.T. Miller, occupational display entitled “Six Preparations of Blood in Chemical Lab Procedure and Carolyn Ferguson, open club exhibit “Receipt for Career Success.” The club won over ten awards in regional and state conventions. In the Region Three competition held in Roanoke, two VICA students Mark Hackney and Sharon Booth received the offices of parliamentarian and secretary-treasurer, respec¬ tively.

Other than their jobs in South Boston and the county, the officers who were Carl Meadows, president; Carolyn Ferguson, vice-president; Joan Anderson, secretary; Billy Mills, treasurer; Sharon Booth, reporter and Lewis Bowles, parliamentarian, must attend executive committee meetings. The VICA members and their guests attended monthly dinner meetings. 129 Athletes create competitive teams through individual efforts Athletics is a combination of both team and individual performances. Although working individually, athletes also combine to form teams with high spirits and strong determina¬ tion. This si especially true when all the sports at the school have undergone a rebuilding year. A football team cannot score if the linemen don’t block and make holes for the backs to run through. One good basketball shooter cannot win a game without the efforts of the other members of the team. Good hitting cannot win a baseball game unless good defensive play backs it up. Each individual cheerleader works with the squad to increase spirit and cheer the Comets on to victory. Each member of the track team must perform his best in order to score enough points to win a meet and in order to win a match, each member of the tennis team must score enough individually so that the combined number of sets won is enough to defeat the opposition. Any athletic event must have individual performances along with teamwork. In the top photo, varsity cheerleader Kathy Wood crosses her fingers as a Com¬ et player attempts a foul shot.

After several funny stories, Willard began his talk by speaking about “Being a Winner” in sports as well as in life. Willard said it takes dedication to ideals and beliefs, integrity to carry out dedication, and faith in your fellowman and God. The highlight of the awards came when Mr. J. Marshall Swan¬ son presented the Tuck Dillard Award to Steve Cole who won the award by votes from his fellow athletes and the cheerleaders. After the meal, Mr. Worth Hudson, athletic director, and the respective coaches took charge of awarding letters to the athletes. The most outstanding senior football players were Harvey Payne and Sammie Moser. The outstanding lineman on the team was Bill Maxwell, while Lawson Osborne was the outstanding back. The most valuable player on the JV football squad was Dewey Compton, while Gene Perkins was the freshman’s most valuable player. Most valuable player on the varsity basketball team was Bill Maxwell; on the JV’s was Wayne Lewis; and on the freshman team was Johnny Stanford. Cross Country awards were next with Steve Cole receiving the most valuable player award. Varsity, JV and freshman cheerleaders received awards after the cross country team. After the awards, the team captains presented gifts to their respective coaches and sponsors. In the top photo, Mary E. Dixon and Bunny Mitchell en¬ joy each other’s company at the banquet.

Before an afternoon practice session, manager Jerry Lovelace, trainer Tommy Thomason, and manager Ward Rowland tape ankles of players who need this assistance. Western District games By instilling new spirit and life in athletics, new head football Coach Coleman Starnes built a winning team as the 1967 Comets compiled their best season since 1965 by winning five of ten games. They won two district contests. “Since this is my first year as head coach, 1 would classify this season as being very successful. I feel that the team as a whole was one of the best groups I have ever worked with,” Coach Starnes commented at the All-Sports Banquet. Fullback Lawson Osborne was the leading ground gainer with a total of 647 yards in 111 carries for eight touchdowns. Frosty Owens, a sophomore linebacker, was the outstanding defensive player with 87 tackles. Tackle Bill Maxwell made first team tackle on the All-Western District team and received honorable mention on the All-Western Regional team. He is the first HCHS sophomore to be so honored. Lawson made honorable mention on both the All-District team and the all-Western Regional team. Scoreboard HCHS. .0 E.C.

Coach Bill Morningstar believes that this success was due to the “hard work the boys did. They really wanted to win.” The harriers ran 300-400 miles in practice or an average of 40-50 miles every week during the fall. In this sport the team with the fewest points wins the match. The course is two and three-tenths miles long on the average and runs up and down hills, through woods and across fields. Steve Cole and Tommy Eggleston represented the Comets in the state cross-country meet at Williamsburg.

Coach Bill Morningstar tells his team to go into a zone defense in order to stop G.W.’s fast break. Suffering from inexperience, the Blue Comet varsity basketball team ended a dismal season with a 4-15 slate. The Comets won only one Western District game while de¬ feating three other non-district teams for a total of four wins. “This has been a disappointing year; however, the team was young and most of the boys hadn’t played varsity before this year,” Coach Bill Morningstar said. “Sometimes we played good ball and sometimes we played ragged. I feel that this has been a rebuilding year and I think we will have a much better season next year because we will have all five starters back,” Coach Morningstar added. Arthur Lantor, 6’2” junior, was the second highest scorer in the Western District with 16.4 points per game. Bill Maxwell, a 6 ’ sophomore, was also one of the top scorers in the district with a 15.2 average. Both boys were the team’s top re bounders. Lantor was sixth in district voting and ninth in regional voting placing him on the second team in the district and the region. Maxwell was ninth in district voting and fifteenth in regional voting and received honorable mention on both mythical teams. Both cagers made honorable mention in the voting for the All- State team. The captain of the Blue Comet varsity was Lawson Osborne, a junior center. The only seniors on the team were Teddy Hoh and Larry Turner. .

Sneaking into the boys’ locker room to hide a cake for the team is just one of the ways the cheerleaders showed their school spirit. Throughout football and basketball seasons, the teams were greeted with a “good lu ck” cake before a rough game or a “congratulations” cake after a winning game. The cheerleaders also created spirit among the students and teams by placing ban¬ ners throughout the school and by sponsoring pep rallies. At a pep rally before a home basketball game, Lawson Os¬ borne was crowned Mr. HCHS. The cheerleaders sponsored the contest to earn money for transportation to away games. They also earned money by selling season tickets, ribbons and Comet booster buttons. During the week of Homecoming the girls sold ads for the Homecoming program and sponsored a bonfire. The week was climaxed when the varsity float entered in the Homecoming parade won first place. For the first time the cheerleaders and Pep Club served the varsity teams lunches on Friday before the games. These two groups also entertained the teams and cheerleaders from Hamp¬ ton and Homer Fergerson High Schools with a banquet during the Christmas holidays. New cheerleaders were chosen in the spring in order to pre¬ pare for next year. They were judged on appearance, voice, jump and coordination. The faculty and a committee of students from the SCA rated the girls on personality, character and at¬ titude. 147 Cheerleaders’ float wins first at Homecoming Riding in the Homecoming parade, the varsity cheerleaders display their school spirit and prize-winning float.

The club was reorganized this year by the coaches. Running concession stands at home baseball games, track meets, at the SCA Spring Fair and selling tickets to the Sertoma basketball tournament was the way the Comet Lettermen’s Club raised money for club projects. The money raised by the club brought membership certificates and trophies for outstanding athletes. The standard for receiving a varsity letter and special athletic trophies are provided for in the by-laws of the club’s consti¬ tution. Before a varsity athlete can get into the Comet Letterman’s Club, he must fullfill the requirements for receiving a varsity letter and he must finish the club’s initiation. The initiations, which are secret, took place after the basketball season and after the spring sports season. In February the club was reorganized after it has been out of existence for a number of years. Coaches Coleman Starnes and Bill Morningstar were the mentors who were instrumental in this reorganization. At the second meeting Jimmy Priest was elected president with Larry Turner, secretary and Steve Cole, treasurer.

Under the leadership of President Pat Talley and sponsor Mrs. Sam Davis seven girls became new members of the GAA by earning a total of 100 points. Three members earned a numeral by earning 300 points, and Delana Barksdale was award¬ ed her school letter for earning over 500 points. Girls may earn points by playing team and individual sports and also by keeping score and refereeing The highlight of the year was an overnight camping trip on May 17. About 30 girls and the teachers in the Girls’ Physical Education Department camped out and learned to live like real pioneers for one night. For the first time the members of the club elected an out¬ standing member of GAA and she was awarded the Sportsman¬ ship Award at the annual Awards Assembly. Senior Pat Talley won this award over five other candidates, and they were judged on sportsmanship, character, leadership, service, scholar¬ ship and citizenship. The club purchased a plaque and the name of the winner each year will be placed on the plaque. The club also sponsored a float in the Homecoming parade. With a bowling ball and pins and the theme “Strike ’em down” the GAA showed their school spirit. Revising the club constitu¬ tion, the executive council worked hard to make the GAA as up to date as possible. In the spring the club elected the officers for next year in order to give them time to prepare for the coming year. Working on the Homecoming float are Pat Talley and Kaye Seamster. The float displayed a bowling ball, pins and the theme “Strike ’em Down.” Sophomore Ramah Overton attempts to return a serve in a GAA tennis match.

According to tradition, seniors popped diploma tubes as soon as they got them, even though faculty members warned students of the rudeness. Nearing the goal post as they left the stadium, seniors happily threw the tubes over the post, mixing them with other classmates’ and occasionally knocking each other in the head. During graduation exercises, the seniors and their guests were entertained with appropriate music from the Concert Choir and Band. Before the presentation of diplomas, seniors marched in to “Pomp and Circumstance” and later listened tearfully to the strains of “God of Comfort, God of Courage.” Throughout the exercises seniors suffered in the traditional hot, blue gowns. After a day of swimming for most seniors, the gowns provided uncomfortable scratches on the burnt skins on the warm night. Leaving the stadium, seniors left behind them many memories, but some will remain with them forever. Catling seniors to the platform to receive diplo¬ mas is Mr. Lewis Gore, chairman of the Senior sponsors, upper right. Senior Jimmy Anderson receives his diploma, right, with congratula¬ tions from Principal J. M.

After the welcome, Jimmy Priest and Ricky Michaels presented a history of the class. The students then turned to the more humorous side of school and presented the students the senior class had chosen as its “Who’s Who.” After this, the class gave various teachers and underclassmen unique gifts in its Last Will and Testament. Climaxing the humorous part of the program, Teresa DeBruhl and Judy Moore presented a skit in which they were seventy-five years old and telling each other of the latest activities of then- friends in their older life. Presenting Mr. Swanson with money to construct a sign in front of the school, senior president Berkley Blanks ended the student part of the program. Then different students were given awards for their outstanding leadership in various fields during their school life. Various speakers from the appropriate organizations presented the awards, and Mr. Dan Daniels ended the presentations by awarding Jimmy Priest the coveted McKinney Medal, describing him as the “closest to perfect as any boy could be.” Receiving the VFW Ladies Auxiliary Citizenship Award is Barry Ford, upper left.

The juniors are remembered as the industrious workers who sweated over their college boards and the Junior-Senior Prom. Soph¬ omores were the ones who took do wn the decorations and excelled in athletic competition. Freshman partici¬ pated in new phases of activities and the eighth graders looked toward the day when they would be rid of the name punks. Teamwork through members of the different classes resulted in bringing dances back to HCHS. Athletic con¬ tests brought wins by the boys who composed a team that strove together for that extra touchdown and the game. Cheering the Comets, cheerleaders and Comet supporters spirited their players onto victory. The Student Cooperative Association instilled many programs and ideas into school life. The classroom was also a site of teamwork as teachers and students joined together in pro¬ ducing an enjoyable class filled with the excitement of new knowledge found in the classroom. With these in¬ dividual classes and groups working together, this school year was one full of knowledge and enjoyment. Above, “Why me!” exclaims Mary Eliza¬ beth Dixon in the junior class assembly.

Although they were still looked down on by the seniors, the juniors took great pride in the achievements earned by some of the members of the class. Danny Crosby won first place in state competition of “The Hire the Handicapped Essay Contest” while Kathy Wood was elected to the state presidency of the Future Teachers of America. Graduating to the semifinal round in a scholarship quiz given by the University of Richmond, Bruce Booker received several thousand dollars toward his college education. Nine members of the junior class ventured to New York to attend the annual journalism convention at Columbia Universi¬ ty. Although much of their time was spent after school in extra-curricular activities, the juniors still found enough time to study for their dreaded college boards, to hand in term papers and to cram for chemistry tests. The juniors also took an upperhand in varsity athletics as the Comet cagers led HCHS onto victory. The whole class jumped into action when they presented to the student body The Tonight Show” filled with Bower children and hippies. The juniors dominated the spring as they joined together in producing the Junior Senior Prom.
