There comes a time though, when even the stubbornest cavemen give in to the inevitable. So it was with HCSH. It threw down its stone axe and rolled in a com¬ puter. It used this computer to process report cards. schedules, honor rolls and class rankings. It then abol¬ ished pre-school study hall: the process of shutting all early comers into the cafe¬ teria until 8:45. HCSH now stepped into the actual field of learning. It created new classes (gotta keep up with the Russians!). World lit., consumer chemistry and vo¬ cational home economics — all new. Sadly enough, HCSH then fell prey to overcrowd¬ ing, not new, but a bigger problem than ever. All of these were new pat¬ terns shaped by an immortal wheel of change that Halifax Senior finally decided to ride. 4 i Right: Students jam into the stadium to hear Mr. Vanney during an assembly.

Theme Introduction 3 NEW I ES B4TTERNS shape progressive innovations An all-girl SCA was the main artist behind new patterns that shaped activities in ' 71. An unorthodox situation in itself, the SCA led the school in a United Fund drive that for the first time was aided by students going out into the county and soliciting them¬ selves. The plan worked so ideally that it was said by its coordinator that it might be copied on the state and even a national scale. The SCA also sculptured a plan for senior exam exemptions. Submitted by the SCA and approved by the school board, the plan called for all seniors having at least a 92 average in a class to be exempt from that exam. The SCA couldn ' t claim Club Day though. This was an hour set aside each month in which all clubs met It was solely a flash of progressive brilliance on the part of the administration. New patterns in activities; someone worked his pants off. I Above: Seniors Johnny Stanford and Susan Hagood study hard together for a 92 average and exam exemption. Upper left: Butch Estes.

Theme Introduction 5 J NEW B4TTERNS crejate liberal dress, harmony ■ t The people. Always new and changing, but in ' 71, funnier than ever. At the year ' s out¬ set, every long-haired boy was greatly concerned with the future of his locks while the girls were wondering of the fate of their newly ac¬ quired wardrobes with the short skirts that greatly troubled Principal L. M. Ven¬ able. Then came three or four major busts on long hair. These busts were games of hide and seek between Mr. Venable with his army of assistant principals and the frightened long hairs. The girls, who have a way of get¬ ting what they want (age- old tradition), gained the right to wear pant suits while the war on short skirts went on. In between all this bick¬ ering, everybody got all ex¬ cited about the weird for¬ eign exchange students from .Chile and Mexico. Blacks and whites got along electing a black queen which, of course, opened up a few eyes Right on! Far left: Many students took advantage of the liberalized dress code. This is apparent in the variety of clothes worn by Sylvia Can¬ ada, John Carter, Becky Yates, Janet Wo¬ mack and Everett Jones. Left: A special addition to the student body, Alejandro Hinostroza, a foreign exchange student from Chile, contributed native style and culture to the school. Many will remem¬ ber Alejandro ' s friendly ways and his first reactions to American schools. No one wears white socks in Chile like they do in your Spanish books! Alejandro explained.

Theme Introduction 7 Student Life Studen Student Life Studen Student Life Studen Student Life Studen Student Life Studer Student Life Studen My high school years? Oh, yes. remember them. Let ' s see now. There was the commer¬ cial prom of ' 71, the scary hairy raid. Home¬ coming ' 69, and, oh, yeah! I’ll never forget the night graduated. What a party we had afterwards! Typical. No one ever remembers what he went to school for in the first place. But really. How in the world can a discussion on hydrohalogenation compare to a juicy wild party tale? vM- m-. P ' lr: gain foothold in Veal ' student interests 4 Parking lot, cooler air, water appear as elbow room, smoking, dawdling disappear in year that finds things being done ' a bit differently ' 1971 greets changes in everyday life Everyday things—unceasing and unchanging. Unchanging? Not quite. 1971 found people doing things just a little bit differently. There was a change in the way in which people went about their everyday routines of riding the bus to school or hitching a ride, going to lockers, gossiping with friends, walking to class, eating lunch, grinding through each class and many other daily trivialities. Each person had his own routine. 1971 found some changes in these routines. For instance, there were no more eighth and ninth graders to get under foot; but, nevertheless, the school ' s population was greater than ever before. Students had to put up with a vastly overcrowded school. Squeezing between other people became a common mode of transportation. With the addition of a new parking lot, more students were able to drive to school every day. Because of the abolishment of pre-school study hall, more time could be spent gossiping with friends. During hot weather, lunch could be better enjoyed as a result of the installation of air conditioners in the cafeteria. Continuing a policy carried over from the previous year, smoking was prohibited on school grounds. Although attempts were made to get in a few puffs in the bathrooms or under trees, smoking all but disappeared after being caught proved to be more and more costly and bottom limbs of many trees were clipped off. The routine nicotine relief became almost nonexistent. New water coolers were also installed, which created long lines of thirsty students between classes. These lines often affronted the mobs with yet another overcrowding consequence. Finally, blue slips and tardy slips thrived in their second year of use. Students kept close watch of thei r behavior for fear of being stapled with a dreaded blue slip. Tardy slips kept everyone moving between classes. Dawdling became, less and less, an everyday thing. So routine changed in 1971 after all. They were unceasing but notunchanging. Everyday things changed, but the biggest reason for change has yet to be mentioned—the fact that 1971 was new people. After all different people do different things. y ' ' mm Far left; Bobby Roller and Reya Blount carry out one of the essential facets of high school life — gossiping.

Halifax County students affronted this problem in many different ways and with varied success. The dress code was changed to include girls ' pantsuits; but, as many legs disappeared behind pants and longer skirts, many other legs continued to become more and more visible behind shorter and shorter skirts. The boys also got their share of attention as hair became a big issue at times. As hair got longer ears began to disappear and Afros grew taller and taller. Though discouraged by the administration, mustaches and goatees sprouted from the faces of the daring and the ones who had hair to sprout in the first place. There were bright and colorful people, but there were also, of course, many conservatives. These people, though numerous, became almost forgotten on the 1971 Halifax County fashion scene.

At the first SCA general assembly, officers presented results of summer research and an outline of proposed activity for the year. In October, candidates for class offices endured the pace of hectic three-day campaigns. Winter and spring concerts commemorating Christmas and Easter became new symbols for old traditions. In a new approach, loud music, synchronized by a computer to a data-processed film, jarred more than a few students out of an assembly snooze. In late spring, the FHA presented a fashion show and gave all proceeds to the band. Student council elections came next followed by the solemn inductions of next year ' s chosen leaders of the school. Elections, Assemblies 19 !

Unique this year were Negro History Week, Senior Day and Religious Emphasis Week, Students in Negro history classes displayed their original sketches of famous Negroes in the showcase to honor National Negro History Week. In response to recent movements, the SCA sponsored Religious Emphasis Week. The week featured lunchtime music, daily devotions, pertinent bulletin boards and an assembly with guest speakers the Rev. Howard Childs of Birmingham, Mich, and the Rev, John Stevenson of Sharpsville, Penn. Seventy-one days before graduation, students acknowledged the class of ' 71 by granting them privileges such as lunchline and study hall breaks for the day. Swarms swamped school with crude outfits on the grub days. Prizes were given to the three grubbiest. Other breaks in school routine such as the powder puff football game provoked strong participation.

Under the direction of SCA president Debra Claycomb and Interclub Council chief Colethia Watkins, 25 clubs participated in the event. The clubs taking part in this money-making project cleared more money for their club treasuries than at any other Spring Fair ever. The total earned exceeded $700. The Miss HCSH contest highlighted the events of the fair. Sue Lawson was the winner of the contest and Kay Elliott was first runner-up with Karen Worsham as second runner-up. The girls were judged on their poise and beauty as they appeared in street-length dresses and formal gowns. The judges were Mayor Sam Patterson, Mr. Irvin Suggs, Mrs. Willie Daniel and Mrs. Jim Irby.

Spring Fair 23 To conserve class funds juniors employ professional firm to decorate for prom Oriental magic flourishes at Junior-Senior Prom Paradise in an oriental mode set the theme for the 1971 Junior-Senior Prom. With one of the largest crowds ever attending the prom, the traditional romance of the event again flourished amid the group of juniors, seniors and their guests. The Rael, a band from Virginia Beach, Virginia, provided music for the affair. Students were free to dance in the gym, socialize in the lobby or refresh themselves in the cafeteria. The junior class, under the leadership of president Ann Harvey Strickland, began planning for the annual affair early in the fall of last year. A lack of funds caused the class to have to resort to junior fees, but eventually the prom committee discovered that it could save money by contracting a professional firm to decorate for the dance. The agency of Cordaza McCollum used an oriental theme in the decorations used in the gym. The juniors provided the oriental atmosphere in the lobby with an entrance bridge and a fountain. In the showcase a pre-fabricated dragon added a final touch of oriental charm to the 1971 prom.

Because it was their night, the affair was informal and a bit exciting as the graduates waited for the outcome. Jim Miklos, Dwight Crews, Debra Claycomb, Richard Bradley, Elaine Comer, Bane Epps and also Loretta Oliver were top winners. Jim Miklos won the new Scholar¬ ship-Citizenship-Sportsmanship top class winners Award. It replaced the old McKinney Medal which was the top student award for the past 1 8 years. The T.C. Watkins Athletic Trophy, which goes to the school ' s best all-round senior athlete, went to Dwight Crews, a two-sport star. Baseball and varsity football were Dwight’s sports throughout school. Winning the Danforth Award, which recognizes school achievement in citizenship and scholarship was Debra Claycomb, president of the student body this year. Elaine Comer and Richard Bradley won American Legion Citizenship Awards from the local chapter. The FFA Chapter Star Farmer Award went to Bane Epps for out¬ standing work in farming projects. Another winner of a citizenship award was Loretta Oliver, who won the V.F.W. Auxiliary Citizenship Award. Loretta was an SCA officer.

Class Night 27 Seniors wear new robes, tassles, receive new diplomas from principals, school superintendent at Tuck Dillard Stadium Five hundred seniors earn diplomas After hours of lining up, marching and practicing the art of promptly receiving a diploma, the seniors were ready for graduation. Five hundred graduating seniors formed the lines as the graduates happily displayed bright new blue robes, golden tassles and honor overlays. Commencement exercises began with the senior processional, Parade of the Charioteers,” played by the Concert Band. The Reverend H. Bryant Wilbourne, minister of both the McKendree and Ashbury United Methodist Churches, rose to give the Commencement invocation. Immediately after Rev. Wilbourne ' s invocation the Girls ' Choir sang Behold, God is My Salvation, under the direction of Mr. Robert Wall. Then the choir sang Our Father Thou in Heaven Above. After the musical inspiration came the presentation of diplomas. The air of excitement that prevailed when the first row rose to walk to the stage was not quite as strong when the fourteenth row stood an hour and thirty-six minutes later. The Concert Band followed the presentation of diplomas with an appropriate piece of music, Chant and Jubilo. With a blessing for the graduates, the Reverend Mr. Wilbourne gave the benediction and the band again played Parade of the Charioteers while the new graduated class marched out. The diplomas that the graduates clutched in their hands were white folders with the school ' s name engraved in gold on the cover. The certificate, itself, was enclosed in plastic on one side with a copy of the program on the other side.

Book reports become dramas, meals, works of art Individuality stressed in English Taking on the colorful appearance of an art festival or the suspenseful atmosphere of a dramatic production, English classrooms adapted to the versatility of imaginative students who put pizazz into book report days twice each month. Creativity made book reports more fun and more meaningful as teachers encouraged originality and self-expression. As artistic students expressed personal interpretations of books, classrooms began to bloom with gay collages and freshly designed book covers. Dotting the shelves, dolls gaily dressed in various costumes modeled the fashion trends of books ' time periods. Some boys reported by modeling rockets or race cars and sometimes a girl served food to show customs of eating in a foreign setting. Oral book reports became increasingly popular in the classroom. In some senior classes students enjoyed a new informal method—drawing questions from a box and answering them candidly Right: The novel True Grit was read in a number of classes and students liked it so much it became a part of them.

Other ideas emerged in forms of dramatic monologues, amusing skits or lively group discussions. Although most written reports followed the traditional pattern of theme, plot or characterization analysis, written book reviews were also open to more originality as students wrote news reports, letters or even poetry. To the students, however, the best ' book reports were the few and far between one-sentence summaries.

In Miss Amy Thomas ' U.S. History classes, a familiar history character, Nathan Hale came alive in a play presented by the students. The students, dressed in crude costumes, relived the last moments of Nathan Hale ' s life. Also, team teaching became a part of the department. Miss Carol Greenwood and Miss Jane Shearin combined their third period history classes and taught a unit in the Civil War. Guest speakers were used in some social studies classes. A social security represen¬ tative discussed problems with the government classes and reports on topics such as World War I and Indians were given in various history classes.

Above left: French I students enjoy the foreign cuisine at the French luncheon. France, Spain, or ancient Rome occupy language students Languages offer more than talk If a visitor were to walk down the hall of the Foreign Language Department some hot school day, his ears would be bombarded by a terrific jumble of odd sounds which even a computer couldn ' t decipher. If he traced these sounds to their many sources, he would find a conglomeration of people learning French, Spanish or Latin. French students studied the culture and language of France along with its people. Some got a taste of French life with a luncheon held at school for French I students. Tapes, films and records provided additional ideas on France as students got a first¬ hand look at its culture. Classes of the Spanish Department concentrated on developing skills and broadening knowledge of the language of Espana. Word games and Spanish baseball helped students grasp the meaning of words. Supplementing the study of Spanish was Raphael Olmo del Gado, a young Spaniard who came to talk to the classes and even served as a substitute Spanish teacher. Meanwhile, Latin scholars were busy putting on mythology skits, attending the play Julius Caesar AND winning offices in the state Latin Club. Hannah Patterson was elected state treasurer at the convention of the Virginia Junior Classical League as many other HCSH students received awards for outstanding work in relation to Latin. 38 Foreign Language Department Above: Acting out a scene from a Latin play, Wanda Owen.

With the purchase of meters, specimens, chemicals, testing kits and other teaching aids, the Science Department expanded to help fill the growing need for more classes to accommodate an ever-expanding number of students. In addition to the usual notetaking and lectures which accompany any scientific class, biology classes performed major operations on pig embryos as students got a taste of the medical world with microscope studies and blood tests. Meanwhile, future chemists learned of balancing equations, molal solutions, effluorescence and nuclear disintegration in chemistry. As water battles raged and Bunsen burners spewed flame, many successful and some unsuccessful experiments of all types were performed. Physics classes explored the aspects of heat, light and biophysics, as the operation of a mere nerve ceil presented itself as a major technical problem. New in the Science Department was a con¬ sumer chemistry class. This course was designed for juniors and seniors who are more interested in the functional aspects of chemistry. 40 Science Department T Above: Wearing the look of the thinker, Sandi Wilson contemplates her homework in Mr. Robinson ' s Biology 10 class.

With only one director for both choir and band, the two usually competitive groups learned to adjust to working together for assemblies and other programs. When the candy sales began, to earn money for the band, the choir as well as the band and students worked to earn the needed funds. Then in May the two groups joined together to have the annual music banquet. Although the band and choir shared many things, the two did not share awards as Sam Barnes and Dennis Murray won the Arion and John Philip Sousa Awards, respectively, and Junior Coon, Melvin Richardson, Elaine Comer, along with Gloria Hughes and Hollie Hutchison shared the Choral Award.

In addition to farm production and crop yield, experience and work in electricity, mechanics and wood or metal construction all added to the curriculum offered by the Agriculture Department. Very valuable to the agriculture students were the farm projects and practice programs. These programs are a required part of the course and involve putting knowledge to use. The boys plant, raise and harvest their own crops on a farm and are charged with full responsibility for selling their harvest. In other projects the students raised their own cattle or took care of all of their farm equipment. Above; Cautioning them on safety in the shop.

Isn ' t this physical education? What other way to describe a normal day with Mrs. Matthews? Along with this came the hated showers which resulted in runny make-up, either straight or frizzy hair or the famous curse of being caught in the showers when the bell rang. Yet amid the turning of somersaults and lost tennis balls students were constantly gaining a competitive education, one based on the ability of cooperation with others plus ones on self-determination. In the required course of driver ' s education, conducted by Coaches Wayne Lloyd and Bristol Martin, students were not only taught the responsibility of driving but actually experienced it in Behind the Wheel classes.

These privileged characters were not as privileged as they seemed, though, for DE and ICT students left classroom study only to begin an afternoon of actual on-the-job training. Combining morning classes with afternoon experience, students in the work-study program found employment in a variety of places in the county. DE employees, more interested in retailing and dis¬ tribution, worked in supermarkets, department stores, furniture stores, service stations, jewelry stores or appliance stores. Con- ' cerned with technical trades, ICT i students found jobs in hospitals, offices, beauty salons, garages j or repair shops. | In the classrooms work-study I students participated in group I discussions on ways to improve efficiency and technique, saw film strips and slides on the latest trends in their work and heard speakers who talked on various topics of interest. wJl 48 Work-Study Department [ Above: An X-ray and electro-cardiogram trainee at South Boston Hospital, ICT student Joyce Conner takes a break long enough to laugh at a co-worker ' s joke illitM � Top: A number of people won honors at the DE Banquet.

Students ' interests are well provided for in the Art Department. The department introduces to the individual many different aspects of self-expression in art, not O just painting pictures. Clay sculptures, articles of potte ry, spiral drawings and even paper mache animals fit well into the circus of art. In early May, the art classes, along with the junior high ' s Art Department, held an extensive art exhibition. At this time, the work of the students were presented to the public for viewing. This event brought to a climax the efforts of the students to express themselves creatively with the modern media. 50 Art Department Far top left: Showing his appreciation for art, Mike Dickey carefully examines various types of creative works during the art ex¬ hibition held in early May.

The department was invaded by a new electric typewriter and an electric calculator, reinforced by 35 new German-made typewriters. This equipment is used by many classes such as Typing I and Clerical Office Practice. Students busily work to keep up with the fast pace of the business courses. In one of the more interesting courses, shorthand, individuals learn how to scratch down words from dictation.

Women ' s lib took a beating in the home economics wing as rugged, All-American males invaded the traditionally all-girl department in the new one-semester family living course. Learning to cook simple dishes, to plan a budget, to manage family responsibilities, senior boys and girls alike learned to prepare for adult living. But tradition still continued in most ways, for the aromatic smells drifting up the stairs and the low hum of sewing machines singing in the halls proved that homemakers were at their traditional work. Although most emphasis was placed on cooking and sewing, home ec. students also had nutrition and meal planning, infant and child care, furniture arrangement, fashion designing and consumer problems, a unit offered for the first time. The addition of new equipment modernized the cooking areas. Electric fry pans, electric knives and many other small appliances made the homemakers ' work simpler.

Industrial Arts classes use assembly-line technique for efficiency Industrial methods teach students to use hands Putting their hands to use by creating things, the industrial arts boys learned that working as a team brings results. In addition to the individual projects which each had to complete, they undertook larger group projects by using a factory-type assembly line technique in which each boy makes a small addition to the project. These small parts all add up to a finished product of which everyone can be proud. Classes of woodwork and metalwork learned the basics of using wood and metal in hundreds of ways. Mechanical drawing students gained experience in making drawings and blueprints which, if correct, should allow a workman to build the object without additional information. Of prime importance in all of the industrial arts classes was safety. Carelessness in the shop can i result in accidents, so all boys j were required to wear safety glasses and were taught to handle the machines with utmost care.

I With only four starters returning from previous year. Blues use devastating rushing attack in proving themselves worthy Surprising new faces down eight blank five It was a brand new football team that suited up for the first game of the 1970 season. There were new faces, both black and white, unfamiliar to the Comet fans. Of the 22 starting players, only four were returning from the previous year. This team of young faces won that first game and went on to win seven more while losing only two. In the process, the Comet defense blanked five opponents while the offense was busy rolling up a new season rushing record of 2319 yards. Head Coach Coleman Starnes, aided by new coaches Ronnie Ramsey and Charles Craddock, opened his fourth season as head coach with his fourth victory over Person County. The next week his Comets shut out perennial power E.C. Glass for the third straight year. After surprising everyone and going undefeated in their first three games, the Comets fell to the George Washington Cardinals. Later in the season, after losing again to Martinsville, the Blues faced William Fleming at Homecoming. The Colonels, 6-1 at the time, were later to become Western District champions. But champions they were not that night as the Comets surprised the Colonels 12-0. After the game. Coach Starnes told his boys, You ' ve made me the happiest man in the world! Post-season all-star honors went to Gene Perkins, Stanley Wilkins and Danny Ray, who made the All-Western District team. During the sports banquet.

While carrying the ball, the JVs managed to average 10.7 points per game but the story of the season was defense. Thirty points a game were rolled up on the Blues; they gave up almost three times as many points as they could produce. Although Head Coach Bristol Martin and Assistant Coach Wayne Lloyd dressed out twelve juniors each game, the JVs won only one, which was by a score of 20-0 against Amherst. Though scheduled to play nine games, an unusually large number for the JV ' s, the Comets played only seven because of poor weather. JV Football 1970 HCSHS 13 Person County 26 HCSHS 8 E.C.

With the likes of 6 ' 9” Calvin Crews, 6 ' 8 ' ' Brad Ballou and hefty 6’4” Jack Crews, the Comet front wall in appearance looked as though it could rival any pro lineup. And the back court men were seldom disappointing. But to be a good basketball team, every¬ thing must jell and things really didn ' t until the district tourney. In the first game the Comets disposed of Amherst, 63-45. In the next game although heavy underdogs (Halifax had an un¬ impressive 10-9 record compared to the Magician ' s 18-1) the Comets played with a kind of cocky confidence characteristic of young teams and matched the Roanoke five goal for goal in regulation time, faltering only in overtime.

A major SCA contribution this year went to the United Fund. This first of student solicitation in the county resulted in $3000. For the first time, girls wore pantsuits to school after SCA consultation with the administra¬ tion. The SCA year did follow some traditions: dances. Homecoming, Grub Day, concession stands.

Nine returning members welcomed 28 students to their ranks in fall inductions. The society inducted a record number of students this spring. Members found that it took more than a 91 average to establish and maintain a strong society. Dedicated sponsors and officers challenged all members to attain the achievement level demanded of a scholastic society.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the busy 1971 school year students still found time for the expression of their thoughts in the composition of poetry and short stories. The evidence of this is in the 1971 Galaxy . Although the selecting of writings and the designing of layouts proved to be hard work, one of the real problems the staff had was the financing of the publication. It took a lot of hard work in order to obtain needed money. The staff members began work by operating a concession stand at The Bad Seed a Title ill play presented by Averett College, and later participated in the SCA fair with a modern boutique featuring hand made articles such as rings, belts, paper flowers and many other jewelry pieces and trinkets. They also gained funds through private donations and ads. A change in the size and shape of the 1971 Galaxy edition created more problems, and staff members spent many long hours designing the layouts. Then with a sigh of relief and a feeling of satisfaction they took the magazine to Lynchburg to be published. More students contributed writing to the 1971 Galaxy , but the sales remained low, only reaching about 450 copies.

These members must not only keep high grades, but must present a project to other members sometime during the school year. Quill and Scroll membership is bestowed on junior and senior journalism students who serve one school publication for a semester with an unusual capacity and who are in the upper third of their class. These students work on the publications of the Haiiscope, the Star, and the Galaxy. Mu Alpha Theta, Quill and Scroll, Galaxy 91 i I i ! Finishing work in summer, staffers strive to meet deadlines, maintain yearbook excellence ' 71 Haliscope records year of Faced with the difficult task of recording changes of the year and the problems and emotions resulting from the changes, the Journalism I and II classes responded with 1971 ' s Haliscope. Struggling with inexperience, unsuccessful sales drives, and fast-approaching deadlines, students on the Haliscope staff molded endless facts and pictures to fit the theme of New Patterns . The use of new yearbook techniques gave color and excitement to the book. Students who went to workshops and conventions at Columbia in New York and the University of Virginia studied these techniques, such as using unusual kinds of type. new patterns modern layouts and spot color. Throughout the summer months, the quiet, empty atmosphere of deserted corridors and rooms was broken by journalism students striving to finish their work in time for the fall delivery. The success of the 1970 Haliscope pleased and encouraged students in their efforts to produce another prize-winning yearbook. The 1970 book captured top honors in national competition, including a Medalist rating from Columbia, a trophy from the Virginia High School League, a rating of All-American from the National Scholastic Press and an A-F from the National School Yearbook Association.

Though not quite top secret, these clubs had always seemed rather obscure with little impact on the average student. The clubs were sparked to life in ' 71, however. It all started with French Club advisers Josephine Marshall and William Carr escorting a group of students to France during the summer of ' 70. The school year then started with a visit from a Mexican foreign exchange student. Eglantine Bernal. Halifax County enjoyed its first foreign exchange student in many years for six whole weeks. Another foreign exchange student, Alejandro Hinostroza, came from Chile in February and stayed for ten weeks at the home of Bob Stroheker. Besides participating with the other clubs in the Christmas party. Foreign Language Week and the Spring Fair, the French Club celebrated Claude Debussy ' s birthday by playing one of his symphonic tone poems. The club also showed it had a heart by contributing a basket of goods to the needy. The Spanish Club not only was fortunate enough to have two Spanish speaking foreign students, but it also sponsored a student letter exchange program. Under the direction of their adviser Mr. Don Schmidt, Spanish III students published a Spanish newspaper during Foreign Language Week. The Latin Club, headed by Mrs. Ira Harding, sent a delegation of students to the national Latin convention in Athens, Ohio in August. Later, at the state convention, the Latin Club placed winners in costume, mosaics, sculpture, art and academics. Though interest in foreign language thrived all year, it dropped off in Foreign Language Week of all times. Too few reservations were made for a banquet to be held, so the week passed almost without notice. Although this lack of interest was a disappointment, it was completely overshadowed by the greater events throughout the year. The foreign language clubs enjoyed a year not only of vibrant activity, but also of noticeable accomplishment. 96 Foreign Language Clubs Left: Sevanne Younger taps James Davis into the Spanish Honor Society.

The choir performed selections ranging from the religious Adoramus te” to a semi-secular contemporary song on the present social conditions of the world, Lord, Lord . Two local choir directors, Mr. Jerry Thomas and Mr. George Stevenson, joined the choir as soloists to perform the contemporary Lord, Lord . At the concert, Mr, Wall honored the eight members who attended All-Regional District VI Chorus in January at Martinsville. They were Sally Sizemore, Gloria Hughes, Hollie Hutchison, Cindi Parker, Elaine Comer, Junior Coon, Webster Coleman and Melvin Richardson. While there, these students tried out for All-Virginia Chorus.

New band members waited impatiently for the first parade to begin while new drum majorette, Patsye Snow, stood ahead, eyes wide and anxious. But the excitement and the apprehension at the beginning of marching season did not stop the band from winning trophies and praise. At one point of the season Patsye and band president Sam Barnes were teasing about who would accept the next trophy. By the end of the season, the band ranked quite a bit of space in the trophy case as it added two first place honors and one second. Then the band traded in hats, spats and overlays for bow ti es, and concert coats. Opportunities to compete with other bands came flowing in and the band loaded the busses and started off for another shot at awards. They came rolling in as the band received an excellent” rating at the District VI Band Festival. Honors kept piling up as the band placed thirteen members in All-Regional Band and sent two of those, Rick Brubaker and Sam Barnes, to All-Virginia Band. With an ensemble of the hardest workers in the band, Mr. Wall again loaded his musicians into the band bus for the last trip of the season, competition with Virginia and several out-of-state bands at the festival at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music. The group returned with 77 points out of a possible 104 and plans to take that trip again next year.

Band 101 Amateurs successful despite imagined props, undramatic beginnings Productions light up dark stage Faced with crude props, a group of theatrical amateurs, with vivid imaginations, peered through spacious windows and opened make-believe doors, preparing for one-act plays and the spring production Arsenic and Old Lace. Bubblegum, jeans and barefeet also play a big part in producing the plays. At first the entire atmosphere is informal, a less dramatic approach. So far everyone is very unserious, failing to enter into the real meaning of the play. Soon amorphous ideas begin shaping into regulated plans. With this new advancement in the foundation of the play, comes the memory work and character adjustments—the exa|:t walk, expression and fpersonality of each one. Yet, while it is on stage that each character cooperates with the others through cue words and actions, performing as one, it is really backstage that the performance for the individual character is given. Here, one step before going out, the real transformation of student to character occurs. And pausing only long enough to add more eyeliner or rouge, each one advances with a new and planned personality, performing this time for the audience. 102 Drama Club Far left; Possessing mute minds, Susan Hudson and John Farmer wait obediently for death, in the play Purgisnatch ' Above: In Teacher ' s Pet student Mott Boldin offers her excuse for lateness to im¬ patient teacher Connie Cheeks.

This was the Science Club ' s entry at the spring fair. It was one of the club ' s many activities, a They also packed up test tubes and microscopes to explore the community. The club visited places such as Community Hospital and Westinghouse. Its biggest event, the Science Fair was open to the entire student body. It was divided into three sections for biology, chemistry and physics. Another energetic group was the Art Club whose major activity was keeping the students spellbound. An unusual project of the club was a Be-Art- Wise Contest. It sparked the students ' imaginations and made them instant art appraisers as they tried to guess the name of a large abstract painting done by the Art Club. Members of the club also made several field trips, one of which was in its own back yard. This was the art mobile that visited the school. The Art Club sponsored an art exhibit open to the public, where sculptures, paintings and sketches of the art students were displayed. They also participated in the school ' s annual spring fair.

With performances at some home basketball games and an exotic dance show at the Spring Fair, the Modern Dance Club brought not only fulfillment to its members but enjoyment to its audiences and patrons. Also bringing enjoyment to an audience was the Letterman ' s Club. Sponsoring the school ' s first inter-class basketball games, the Letterman’s Club earned money for members’ jackets and gave fans a chance to cheer their class to victory. Selling Christmas trees and other decorating greens, sponsoring a basketball shoot at the Spring Fair, selling Comet license plates and manning a concession stand at a home baseball game were some of the other ways this club worked to earn money. I Lettermen ' s, Modern Dance 107 Students become involved in clubs that do more than ' meet ' Clubs create excitement at fair Today roll calling in a club meeting isn’t enough excitement for the members, so the clubs have to involve the students into more exerting activities. Karate, making its first appearance in the line-up of extra-curricular activities, became a new interest for many students. In carefully learning the technique, the club members were awarded various scratches and bruises which accompany the first hasty attempts and failures. Also, one of the largest clubs, the Pep Club, took an active part in following the sports program. Cheering, sometimes screaming, at the top of their voices, the club members morally sup ported the athletic teams both at home and away. The club also raised money by selling shakers and pmicipating in the SCA Spring Fair. In a more reserved manner, the Youth for Christ members spent many hours in ministering to other people. Some of the club ' s projects were sending articles of aid to the Peru earthquake victims and helping those who are shut-in.

Industrial Arts Club members recognized a better understanding of American industry through their new club. Members were taught appreciation for craftsmanship and excellence and pride in quality work. Students in the club also learned much about organization and leadership through the meetings held throughout the year. Trying to re-establish the term hand¬ made to man’s world of products, the Arts and Crafts Club found itself very busy. In the Spring Fair the club sold plastic flowers hand made by its members. Learning about photography occupied the time of the Shutterbug Club. Club members became more familiar with different types of cameras and other photographic equipment during their meetings. Several times Joe Chandler, president, presented demonstrations on proper focusing and exposures. Because of the varied hobbies of its members, the Hobby Club found it difficult to get started. The club concerned itself mainly with informing its members about various hobbies. Hagood Francis and J. 0, Crews presented programs on collecting coins and Indian artifacts. Members also participated in the Spring Fair with a dart game. 110 Hobbies, Shutterbug, Arts Crafts. Ind. Arts Clubs Left: J. 0. Crews talks on Indian artifacts to the Hobbies Club.

Bright colored lights, enthusiastic barkers and loud microphones gave this booth a professional air which attracted huge crowds. Bringing in a profit of $91.23, the booth was the most successful one at the Spring Fair. In addition to sponsoring their colorful booth, the Bus Drivers ' Club in their monthly meetings heard lectures which promoted more safety in bus driving. Also concerned with safety, the Dragsters ' Club had a state trooper to attend one of their meetings and show films. A major project of the Dragsters ' Club was the motorcycle demonstration. Skilled instructors and roaring motorcycles attracted faculty members as well as students to the athletic field. The instructors demonstrated the techniques of safe motorcycling and offered opportunities to experiment with the Hondas shining in the sun. The newly created Travel Club had quite a struggle in its first year, but plans for successful projects are in the making. Hoping to provide educational trips for students, the Travel Club planned a trip to Washington, D.C., but because of little support and interest from the students, the trip was cancelled. Fun, food and frolic were enjoyed by Travel Club members at their picnic in June at Staunton River Park.

Future teachers visit elementary schools to observe, learn Rosy future blossoms from clubs The future looks rosy for Halifax County with respect to teachers, nurses and business leaders, for interested students jammed club meetings to plan these careers. The Future Business Leaders of America, with 70 members, busied themselves learning business practices and terminology in preparation of careers in business, taking time out to sponsor a SCA Fair booth and to assemble bulletin boards for the Business Department. Most active of all the future clubs was the Future Teachers of America. They sponsored a story hour every Saturday at the Carrington Memorial Library, reading Mother Goose to community children, took a Thanksgiving box to a needy family, started a new scrapbook and built a float for Homecoming. Of special interest to the FTA was Teachers ' Appreciation Week and observing other teachers. Active members were president Ann Owen, who served as state vice- president and Sarah Bane, who was elected state recording secretary for 1971 at the state convention. The Future Nurses was a newly organized addition to the family of clubs.

In preparation for the coming year several members attended the annual state FHA convention and FHA workshop during the summer where they learned about new ideas and coming trends in homemaking and planned overall projects for the coming year. In the fall club members charged into action by decorating their Homecoming float. To raise money for a generous United Fund donation, the club initiated a Miss FHA drive, while the FHA Girl of the Month feature in the Star continued to recognize outstanding Future Homemakers! Sponsoring their traditional cakewalk at the SCA Fair, the club made twice as much profit as ever before. In April the efforts of the dedicated members were rewarded when several Future Homemakers got junior, chapter or state awards. 122 FHA I Left: One of many teachers to help in the fashion show.

Competition and travel occupied much of the chapter ' s time. The club sent its president, Ernest Powell, to Kansas City to attend the national convention. Two judging teams and a delegate to the state chorus went to the state convention in Blacksburg. Members competed in club projects, county fairs and the local Junior Show and Sale. Winning foundation awards were Bane Epps, electrification, soil and water management, crop production, livestock production and public speaking; Glenn Watson, forestry; C. J. Bales, home improvement; Ernest Powell, farm and home safety and Mark Slabach and Rex Crews, scholarship. President Ernest Powell, accompanied by adviser Mr. David Gibson, went to Roanoke in May to accept the Virginia Rural Safety Council award. Initiating new projects in gun safety, agriculture and environment and a community action program, the FFA involved the entire community in their range of improvement. The new community action program gave the members a chance to work for a more beautiful America.

The class elected Andrew Bowman, presi¬ dent; Dwight Crews, vice-presi¬ dent; Carol Brooks, secretary; Carolyn Bennett, treasurer; Nancy Aldworth, reporter and Dale Clark, Sergeant-at-Arms. Striving to gain more senior privileges, leading the senior processional into assemblies and creating cooperation between the administration and the students were only a part of the duties of the senior class officers. The leaders of the senior class also organized and took part in Class Night activities and graduation ceremonies. These six seniors also made preparations for Senior Grub Day and helped establish more senior recognition on Senior Day. They also organized other class projects and helped put together other school events. Reminiscing on the year, senior president Andrew Bowman stated, “I really believe that harmony and coopera¬ tion among students made this year a successful one.

I Seniors 129 Having special tables at lunch shows different treatment Seniors get privilege, Seniors . . . basically no different from all the rest but yet they are treated differently by everyone. It ' s their last year and maybe their special treatment is a going away present. Or maybe it ' s because they are leaders. In any case, seniors enjoy the special privilege of being seniors. They have their own lunch tables, they march into assemblies; in fact, they now have a Senior Day. There is one catch, however; a senior cannot enjoy being a senior unless he knows he will be a senior only once in high school. Marching into an assembly, seniors put into practice a traditional privilege. 130 Seniors V own ' day Elsie Mae Barksdale: Vice-president. Hobbies Club: VICA; FHA.

Concentrating, Malinda Hodges puts the finishing touches on a typing assignment, hoping that a top grade will make her exempt from the exam. 132 Seniors I One of the many improvements which greeted seniors this year was the possibility of being exempt from taking exams. The new change gave seniors an incentive to work harder as well as an added privilege. To be exempt from an exam, a senior must have earned a 92 average or better in that class during the semester. In addition, the student must not have more than three excused absences during the semester, not including school-sponsored events. The school board approved this new senior privilege after it was presented to them last spring. A week before school began, a group of SCA officers, advisers and members of the Star staff represented the student body at a school board meeting where the proposal was thoroughly discussed. To justify the new proposal, the student representatives pointed out that it would provide incentive for students as well as supply a much wanted senior privilege. After the meeting the school board considered the proposal and gave its approval of the plan. To ease some of the last minute problems before graduation, seniors who were not exempt took one-hour long final exams a week earlier than juniors and sophomores who took longer ones. Exam exemption creates desire for higher grades Seniors try hard to get 92 average Emma Diana Brown: Bus Driver ' s Club. William Howard Brown: Latin Club: Youth for Christ.

We never really stop practicing for the cross country season, the senior explained. We keep on running during track season and we continuously run to stay in shape during summer. In August and September the workouts simply become more difficult as we try to get everything together before the season starts. This year the cross country team did manage to get it together as they won the Western District title and then went on to capture the Northwest Regional crown before faltering in the state meet. Eugene placed third among Comet runners and ninth overall in the district meet. In the regionals, he finished fifth for the team runners and sixteenth overall. For the two years prior to this past season, we had been runner-up in the district tournament. We had never been first before. It really felt great after we won the district title and even greater after we won the regional championship. It was a great team effort. Eugene is not limited, however, to simply running for the track team and cross country team. Along with James Gee, he was one of only two seniors to play on the varsity basketball team this year. I really felt that we should have done better this year. We lost a couple of close games that really hurt, especially to GW and against Jefferson in the tournament. Before playing on the varsity basketball team, Eugene also participated on the freshman and junior varsity squads. Throughout high school, I really enjoyed playing in sports events. The coaches were great and so were the fellows. It really made high school more enjoyable for me. As for future plans, Eugene is still uncertain. He does, however, plan to attend Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the fall and continue his sports.

Seniors 137 Andrew Bowman favors settlement by negotiation Class head opposes all violence After serving as president of his class in its final year in high school, a fellow classmate realizes that Andrew Bowman is the type of person who wants to settle matters reasonably and peacefully. A strong opposer of violence, Andrew states, I think a non-violent peace move¬ ment is good. The people should harmonize and get together. They should unite and be one. I would participate in the movement as long as it was completely non-violent. I hate violence. Probably almost everything could be solved by people sitting down and talking things out. Trying always to look at matters in their own perspective, Andrew feels, I am opposed to the war, and I want the men to come home. On the other hand, since they ' re over there doing the best they can, we have to make the best of it. Being interested in civil rights, Andrew said, I ' m really with the movement. Dr. Martin Luther King was the best leader. He was non-violent and not afraid to stick up for what h e believed, regardless of the outcome. As for having hobbies, Andrew says, I really don ' t have much time for hobbies although I like football, dancing, working on cars, watching drag races and as all Americans, watching television.

Now these same people are talking about the new friend, Nancy Aldworth. Moving to Halifax from Connecticut in the middle of her junior year, Nancy points out the main difference in localities. There is a much wider variety of people down here. Up there, the town I lived in consisted mostly of the same type of people. There weren ' t the interesting natives as down here. People weren ' t as conservative. As reporter of the senior class, Nancy readily states that she enjoyed her senior year. She was slightly disappointed in one aspect. I didn ' t really feel superior like I thought I would. Of course, I didn ' t feel inferior either. I would say the best thing about being a senior is getting out of school early. Having a variety of interests, Nancy has little trouble finding something to do. I like almost all sports. Since I have just started playing on the tennis team here, I enjoy tennis. I also enjoy a+most every kind of water sport and golf, since my Dad is crazy about it. I like to sew, read and write poems which no one else knows about, the blonde senior states. Looking back over this past year, Nancy says, I feel that I ' ve really learned a lot and have been lucky in many ways by moving here. I think about what I could probably be doing in Connecticut and then think of all the unforgettable experiences I ' ve had here. I am glad that I had the chance to experience them. I hope that when I go away next year that I can become much more aware of this world, problems and all, and understand so much more. Next fall Nancy plans to attend St. Mary ' s Junior College in Raleigh. After I graduate, I hope to go to a larger university, possibly in Maine, she added. Linda Dianne Ferrell; FHA.

Barnes, Petty listen to speeches by national leaders Two attend youth forum in capital Nominated by government students and appointed by Congressman Dan Daniel, seniors JoAnn Petty and Sam Barnes attended the 1971 Presidential Classroom for Young Americans in Washington, D.C. These two students were among 350 other high school seniors selected from across the nation who attended the seminars. The sessions began on February 13 and continued through February 20. During the weeklong sessions, Sam and JoAnn listened to many high-ranking government and military officials talk about specific governmental functions in depth. The two seniors were also given a chance to participate in numerous question and answer periods. In all, the activities included 24 seminars that were held in the actual location of the government branch or agency being studied. After they returned from Washington, Sam and JoAnn made a report of their trip to the SCA. Both students urged that the event should be sponsored annually. 142 Seniors W Left: The ambassador from Sierra Leone fields questions from high school dele¬ gates attending presidential classroom.

For others, bei ng an honor graduate is an honor. Only one person, however, receives the honor of graduating with Number One honors. In this year ' s senior class of over 500 seniors, Joe Foster earned the Number One spot with the best grade average. For having the highest average, Joe received the Readers ' Digest Award during Class Night activities. I was really shocked when they called my name to receive this award, Joe stated.

In order to gain a better understanding of the functions and purposes of civic clubs, nine senior boys were selected to be Junior Rotarians. The selections were made jointly between the school and the Rotary Club. The nine boys who were chosen for this honor were Sam Barnes, Charles Baskervill, Richard Bradley, Armistead Traynham and John Garrett. Other students selected were Armistead Fuller, Charles Ware, Gene Perkins and Page Seamster. Each of the boys selected attended Rotary meetings for four consecutive Tuesday nights where they listened to many programs on various topics. In February each of the Junior Rotarians invited a guest to attend a special banquet of the Rotary Club. On the last Tuesday in May, each of the boys gave a report stating where he planned to attend college and other plans.

Taught by Mr. Reasor, the class of 1 5 seniors, studied selections from Sumerian, Hebrew, European and Greek literature. Included in some of the most famous works were ' The Tempest ' and ' Antigone During second semester, composition and transformational (generative) grammar were discussed. Very few college professors teach traditional grammar, explains Mr. Reasor. Therefore, college-bound students need to know such things as identical noun phrase deletion transformation. The class takes more work than I thought, Armistead Fuller commented. Mr. Reasor makes it an interesting class because he is an interesting teacher. It wouldn ' t be the same under someone else. I wish I could take it in place of English 12, he added. Likewise, Mr. Reasor adds, I think the class really takes an awful lot of effort. Seniors who are taking this course must take English 12, also. With accelerated English 12, one can really be forced to work extra hard, Sally Boyd commented.

Seniors 151 Co-captain of varsity cheerleaders Jean Lawter stops for a hail discussion. Seniors work with others to make improvements in school policy Seniors lead school in year of progress Despite several changes in school activities, capable seniors were often among the leaders of clubs that became more active as the year progressed. They wanted to see a change in policy, and often they were responsible for carrying out actions that improved the school. They wanted to see more school spirit and more student participation in school and community projects. Seniors headed all types of school projects. In athletics, they served as captains of their teams. In various clubs, seniors held many offices. In the SCA, several seniors served as officers, or they worked as committee chairmen. Also in other school and community events, seniors attended civic club meetings. Before seniors graduated, a change had occurred. Chaos no longer existed. A larger percentage of the student body were members of at least one club. Also, plans for the beginning of next year had been made and new officers had been elected. Seniors had created organizations and unity. Jeanette Elaine McLean; French Club; Pep Club. Priscilla Mae McNear: Concert Choir; Pep Club.

Prior to this year, seniors had very few privileges to enjoy. Marching in at assemblies and eating on senior only lunch tables were actually the only privileges that seniors had until this year. They did, however, take their final exams earlier than juniors and sophomores. This year, however, the SCA, working through the Grievance Committee, tried hard to add to the list of senior privileges. Sometimes they were successful; other times the committee failed. One of the most worthwhile privileges awaited seniors when they first came to school. This year, seniors who met certain standards were exempt from taking exams. In the closing days of the school year, seniors who were not exempt were only required to take one hour exams which were given earlier than junior and sophomore exams. Seniors also marched in during several assemblies and ate their lunch on designated senior-only tables. For the first time ever, seniors were given a salute by the student body on the seventy-first day before graduation. On this particular day, seniors were allowed to get at the front of the lunch line. Also, seniors were given the opportunity to miss study hall and talk in the lobby during their study hall. In addition, teachers were not allowed to assign homework for the next day. Other senior privileges included a special Grub Day and being allowed to go the the Junior- Senior without paying admission. This year seniors enjoyed more privileges than in previous years.

Class ring symbolizes unity in new school One of the most important things that symbolized the creation of one school through the union of two schools is the new class ring. In the spring of last year, a ring committee was selected to design the new class ring after the union of Mary Bethune High School and Halifax County High School. The Committee members worked together and after much discussion finished their assigned task. Finally in October, seniors who ordered them received their new rings. Words cannot describe the physical appearance of the new ring; they can only summarize the symbolic meaning for what it stands. It symbolizes the unity of two schools into one. It symbolizes a new present and a different future. It symbolizes a new school composed of many different people. It is a symbol of harmony. It is the one thing that all seniors have in common. The senior class is the first class to wear the ring. Late in the spring of this past year, the junior class also received their new class rings.

Seniors 1 59 Gloria Hughes ' s future made brighter by high school record Acid souler has sights on singing Having made plans to sing profes¬ sionally, Gloria Hughes is certainly a girl with ambitions, and if what has happened to Gloria this year stands true, then this possibility is not as far-fetched as it might seem to be. In the spring Gloria competed in the state choir festival and made the All-Virginia Choir. I feel fortunate to have made the group, the ambitious senior said. I was one of the highest rated sopranos in the district. Looking into the sky, Gloria exclaimed, I hope I can make records some¬ day and become famous like Aretha. Acid soul is her modern favorite. Besides her interest in music, she is also fond of physical education. I like to play softball and basketball and I enjoy tumb¬ ling, Gloria said. If I cannot make it in the recording business as a singer, I would like to teach phys. ed. instead. Next to Concert Choir, Gloria found her Negro history class most enjoyable. Negro history is really very interesting. I think it should be a required subject like U.S. history or government, she said. So if ever in the future you happen to pass a girl listening to acid soul, singing soprano under her breath and studying Negro history, say Hi. It could only be Gloria Hughes.

There is, however, one big difference: Joanne doesn ' t need to strive nearly as hard to be happy as businessmen do to be a success. Life is full for me, Joanne says. Naturally, there are let-downs, but they don ' t get me down. There ' s so much more good in life than people realize—if only they ' d do some reaching out and giving in. The best way to enjoy life is to look for something good in everybody you meet. It works because I ' ve tried it. Joanne ' s likes range from God to having two big brothers. She also includes happy faces, bob whites, people, making friends Snead works and Phillipians 1:29 among the list of things she likes. The thing I liked best about being a senior was the ' last-minute ' feeling it gave me—the feeling that I would be a senior only once, so I would have to make the most of it. It seemed as though the senior year involved every classman, not just a chosen few. I really liked that! commented the active senior. Joanne also enjoys playing the piano. On several occasions, she played the piano for seniors marching into an assembly. Because of her music ability as well as other talents, Joanne was chosen Most Talent¬ ed by members of the senior class. As for leaving high school and ' Most Talented ' senior likes past, looks forward to rewarding future for happiness planning her future, Joanne firmly states, I have never been ashamed to tell anyone it ' s ' my ' high school. In fact, I have always been pretty proud. Maybe I ' m just lucky, but I think I got all of the best teachers while I was here. When I leave this school, I want to be trained in some way that I may help people. It may be nursing or it may be sociology. Working with a minority group of our society is something I ' m especially interested in. I would particularly like to work on an Indian reservation. It doesn ' t have to pay much, just so it ' s rewarding. Although undecided, Joanne plans to attend either Lee College or Watts Hospital. George Jackson Terry; FFA.

Having two years of experience, they were smarter and able to withstand pressure. They were the leaders of winning teams. Some of them won awards; others just played; still others just tried. All of them worked. Winning the most coveted of athletic awards, Dwight Crews received the T. C. Watkins Award for his service on the football and baseball teams. Also winning awards. Gene Perkins won the Outstanding Back Award and the Most Valuable Senior Award on the football team. Charles Baskervill won the Most Valuable Golfer Award twice after placing high for two years in state competition.

The majority of these students will be attending community colleges. Next year more students plan to attend Danville Community College than any other institution. Approximately 95 seniors intend to further their education there. In addition to Danville Community College, several students will attend Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Also ranking high among the colleges that seniors plan to attend are Longwood College and Radford College. Several seniors also plan to attend such schools as the University of Virginia, College of William and Mary and Mary Baldwin College. For many seniors, scholarships enabled eligible students to continue their educations in college. Financial aid came in the forms of National Defense Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants, du Pont Regional Scholarships, and other types of academic and athletic scholarships. About 60 seniors received financial aid. Billy Ray Womack; VICA: FFA. Brenda Lee Womack: Youth For Christ: FBLA.

Seniors 1 67 Juniors elect in October Strickland chosen president Stepping into the unfamiliar surroundings of being a junior, the class of ' 72 began the year not unlike most of their predecessors. From the beginning most juniors simply mellowed into pre-determined positions, either in the classroom or in other extra-curricular activities. The class elections in October were the first major events of the school year. After a vigorous week of campaigning which included the construction of numerous signs and banners, members of the junior class elected Ann Harvey Strickland to lead them through the year. Other officers elected i to help carry out the functions of the class were Marsha Evans, vice president; Gail Benner, secre¬ tary; Jack Chappell, treasurer; Danny Ray, reporter and John Lantor, sergeant-at-arms. The offi¬ cers led the class in nearly all class functions, the biggest being the production of the Junior-Senior Prom, which the juniors had to sponsor without a means of earning money other than class dues. For the first time while attending HCSH, a member of the class of ' 72, Ann Swaim, occupied a SCA office, sergeant-at-arms.

The PSAT, SAT, National Merit, SCAT and STEP and achievement tests are all reminiscent of the 11 th grade. The tests are designed to aid the student in placement, and in reference for his future college career. First off, in October are the SCAT and STEP tests—all-encompassing tests that measure how much a student has learned throughout his schooling. These tests are also junior year prerequisites. Later in the fall comes the PSAT test—the college boards ' practice round. The PSAT is identical in function to the SAT, which is taken in April. The SAT is the actual college boards test. Colleges use this as one of the predominant acceptance factors. Also, often times used by colleges are the achievement tests taken in May. These are more wide-ranging tests that include not only verbal and math—like the SAT—but also foreign languages, sciences, etc. Lastly are the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Tests, which enable juniors to win valuable college scholarships.

The school term of 1970- 1971 was such a year; never before had so many juniors held so many starting positions. Since the integration of the 1969-1970 school term did not take place until second semester, fall sports and early winter sports did not get the added participation of new athletes until this year and what a year it turned out to be! Composed mostly of inexperienced juniors, the HCSH football team went on to compile an exhilarating 8 and 2 record. Football was not the only sport where juniors made up a major part of the team. | Cross-country, led by a fleet- footed junior named Curtis Kirby, captured many championship hon¬ ors. Four of the starting five on the basketball team were juniors and the trophies for top scorer and top rebounder both went to juniors. Both the boys ' and girls ' tennis teams depended on juniors for a good percentage of their points and both had fairly respectable seasons. The Comets baseball and tennis teams had many ace junior players taking a major part in their building seasons.

Although the school hired an outside company to decorate the gym this year, the lobby and cafeteria were not covered by the decoration con¬ tract. As a result of this, many juniors worked to decorate the cafeteria and lobby. A fluorescent dragon was constructed by Debbie Crews, Sarah Bane, Ann Harvey Strickland and others, to coincide with the Oriental Paradise theme. The dragon was placed in the lobby ' s showcase and blacklights were used to show its fluorescent paint. Oriental¬ like shrubs and trees were placed around the lobby and brightly color¬ ed bottles were placed on each individual table in the cafeteria. One of the outstanding features of the entire prom was a thirty feet long, three feet high wooden bridge built by Jim Chappell and David Anderson that spanned a pond laden with lily pads and gold fish. Decorations in the gym, however, fell far short of expectations when the hired decorator failed to keep his part of the contract. Darkness was its biggest asset.

For many , juniors this was their first prom experience and most were unsure as to how to conduct themselves. But these minor uncertainties soon i disappeared and the 1971 prom became a night to remember.

A number of the programs appealed to the student ' s serious side such as the ones on Veterans ' Day and during Religious Emphasis Week. Many assemblies featured people outstanding in their work in the community and state, among them the Honorable Howard P. Anderson, delegate to Virginia ' s House of Delegates and Mr. Roy B. Davis, a distinguished World War II vet¬ eran. Aside from the regular an¬ nual assemblies such as Thanks¬ giving, Christmas and Easter, other assemblies were solely for the purpose of the entertainment of students and faculty. One concert, featuring the Chowan College Con¬ cert Choir, contained performers who were former students of this school and they received high praise for their performances. Assemblies relieve the monotony of the school day and are educational as well as entertaining.

For first time in history of school Juniors get class rings in spring For the first time in the history of the school, juniors received class rings in the spring of the year instead of in the fall during the senior term. Juniors measured for their rings in February at which time they could select from a variety of different additional items to add to the ring in order to make the rings more personalized. First, each student who bought a ring had to choose an appropriate color stone for his ring which was generally a birth stone. Each person could also have his signature or other desired items engraved on the back.

There were many reasons for this, the first of them being the prestige of being a junior. There is a certain amount of pride and prestige in the fact that one is an underclassman in high school for the last time. Juniors were no longer packed on the cramped, hard bleachers for assemblies, but were comfortably seated in the chairs in the back of the gym. Later, upon leaving the doors of Halifax County Senior High School on June 10, 1971, you were no longer a junior, but a senior, learning new responsi¬ bilities and enjoying new privileges. What it’ll be like, no one knows. But the important thing now is, I ' M FINALLY A SENIOR!

Campaigning for class officers came first in the year. At the end of a hard week ' s work sophomores elected Colette Guthrie as president. Bunny Talbott was selected vice-president, Boxley Llewellyn, treasurer, Connie Daniel secretary, William Claiborne, reporter and Dickie Saunders as sergeant-at-arms.

Knocking from door to door, the sophomores contributed much time and effort with the candy drive to raise money for the band ' s possible trip to the Rose Bowl Parade next year. At the conclusion of the drive, four sophomores won prizes for their large sales and interest. Black lights, psychedelic paint and posters composed the black light room that the sophomores created for the Spring Fair. Using tape and nails, posters and lights were put up to make money for the class treasury. Students were charged a quarter to go in and a special paint that glowed in the light was provided for the students to paint themselves. Included in the Spring Fair was the Miss HCHS contest in which two sophomore girls were winners. Kay Elliott was chosen as first runner up and Karen Worsham was chosen as the second runner up in the annual beauty contest. 186 Sophomores Allen Anderson takes time to rest while working in the Black Light Room” Elizabeth Conner Everett Conner Isaac Conner Janice Conner Larry Conner Rebecca Conner Tony Conner Vanessa Conner Thomas Cook Yvonne Cook Ronnie Cooper Ralph Corelle Beckwith Crawley Raymond Crawley Burmah Crews Calvin Crews Carl Crews Franceen Crews J 0 Crews Janice Crews Kim Crews Mabel Crews Sharon Crews Michael Crowder Richard Crowder Sharon Crowder Judy Cutlop John Culman Curtis Cunningham Ola Mae Dailey Brenda Daniel Connie Daniel Clarence Davis Dena Davis Diane Davis Ella Davis Elois Davis Greg Davis Harvey Davis Harvey Davis Israel Davis Ramona Davis Randy Davis Roy Davis Sandra Lee Davis Willie Davis Phyllis Dawson Sandra Dawson Tigue Day Jerry Dean Debbi DeBruhl Vickie DeJarnette Sophomores 187 j Carolyn Deshazo Tony Dickerson Darlene Dismuke Edith Dismuke Margaret Dixon Patricia Dixon Phillip Dixon Vicky Dixon Karen Drake Weldon Drumwright Bobby Duffer Inez Duncan lola Duncan Danny Dunn Juanita Dunn Carolyn Easley Dorothy Easley James Easley Margaret Easley Carolyn Edmonds Deborah Edmunds Marguerite Edmunds Sophronia Edmunds Wayne Edmundson Earl Edmundson Luther Edmunds Anne Edney Don Ellington Ann Elliott Gay Elliott Kay Elliott Ronnie Elliott Ayme Ellis Rachel Ellis Glenda Ellixson Debbie Epps Jo Estes Rickey Epperson Suzanne Eudy Henry Ewell JV cheerleader Ayme Ellis concentrates on keeping in step while cheering the Comets on to victory.

Twelve sophomore girls made up the JV squad. Led by Kathy Holt and Terri Hodges, the girls worked all year with making banners, baking cakes for the players and cheering hard at ball games. New uniforms and changes in the usual dress came about during the ' year. Jumpers and tights were new additions to the cheerleaders li attire. Taking part in the I Homecoming activities, the JV ' s built a float for the parade and also cheered at the ball game. All during football season the squad sold programs before varsity ball games. Participating in a pep rally, along with varsity cheerleaders, before Homecoming helped bring out students’ school spirit. In November, girls from the sophomore class went out for sports. They took part in the annual Powderpuff football game. Sophomores and some juniors played on the team of Moses Roses and competed with a team of seniors and juniors called Gene ' s Jellybeans, Moses Roses were de¬ feated in the bitter cold.

Coming out of the junior high where there were no scholastic athletics, many boys were excited to play high school sports. Playing JV and varsity athletics, many boys proved to be valuable during the season and others gained great experience that will be more than needed in future seasons. Coach Coleman Starnes and his recruiters landed more sophomores on the JV and varsity football squads than any other sport. Billy Burton and Mickey Puryear saw regular action in varsity football. In other sports a few more sophomores excelled. Roy 1 B. Davis contributed to the cross country team, while in varsity basketball Boxley Llewellyn started all through the season. I In baseball, Russell Puckett compiled the highest batting average of the entire team. During the season of each sport sophomores were active in all. } Running, jumping and hitting sophomore boys brought out ; and built up valuable talents , for participating in athletics.

Both involved money and both failed. The problems began soon after the beginning of the school year when the board cited the terrible conditions at Halifax County Senior High which were brought about mainly as a result of overcrowded conditions. In an effort to relieve the existing situation, the Board of Control asked governing officials for funds with which to build a new school. However, after several meetings the officials have yet to reach a final decision on whether or not to provide the money. Another problem arose when the board failed to receive the budget raise for which it had asked. Members of the board then had to find ways to cut expenditures. Suggested cuts were in the areas of athletics, music and additional instructional supplies. Amidst these local problems, Mr. Udy C. Wood, divisional superintendent, traveled to West Germany in April to take part in an international field study mission. While in West Germany Mr. Wood observed school opera¬ tion and problems in Europe.

Because of the inadequate physical facilities, Mr. Venable and his staff found it difficult to operate an effective program. For example, a too-small cafeteria caused crowding and excessively long lines. The library also was too small to accommodate all the students who wished to use its facilities and lastly, narrow hallways made it difficult for the students to change classes in the five minutes allowed. However, the new computer grading system aided the staff since it was less time consuming and involved less paper work than the old system. Because less time was spent making out report cards, administrators had more time for supervision and teachers had more time for teaching. Also helping to make the job of administrating easier, according to Mr. Venable, was the fine cooperation from students, faculty members and the Board of Control. However, Mr. Venable added, The only way to solve our problem of overcrowding would be the construction of a new school.

They entered the tense atmosphere of an already familiar room which was suddenly filled with strangers and they sought the unknown in the expressions of the many varied students. Names from previously provided lists began to attach themselves to mischievous. friendly and defiant faces. Overheard conversations gave clues to students ' opinions and personalities. Almost immediately teachers formed impressions of their new students. Whether or not these impressions were correct, however, was proved only by the passing of each day. Faces eventually became names, names grew into personalities and personalities developed into friends, enemies or just students. Conversations became noisy annoyances or interesting class discussions. Thus, at the end of the year, teachers were relieved to be rid of some students yet sad to be losing others. They knew, however, tha t in all of these students a part of the future ' s new world had just passed before their eyes.

( Faculty 205 Everyday problems prove teachers || more than complex mechanical brains ! which spout continuous stream of facts Computers become humans after bell First of the week sales, golf courses, conventions and families made teachers more than the complex mechanical brains they often seemed in class. With the sounding of the three-thirty bell, they scrambled into Pontiacs, Fords and Volkswagens and rushed to pick up the kids, to buy groceries or to shop for some other needed supplies. Then, it was home to the kitchen or lawn for a busy hour before turning to grading papers or attending night classes. Many played the dual role of teacher-student and worked toward their master ' s degree during the night hours while others spent entire evenings grading one set of papers. Some did washing for a family of five or, doubling for Carol Burnett, scrubbed and waxed floors. Several may have saved these chores for the weekends, but Saturdays and Sundays often found numerous faculty members chaperoning dances or games, flying to conven¬ tions, traveling home for a quick | visit with Mom and Dad, attending ' sports spectaculars or just trying to relax for a quiet moment before | something else demanded their | attentions. With the normal | problems of an American family I plus a few added by their I I profession, teachers had to be | tireless, concerned and i intellectual people.

New this year, the PAC Grade Reporting System was instituted to relieve the administration, guidance department and faculty of much of the work normally associated with grading. Only the administration and guidance department profitted greatly, however, since the computer compiled all of the necessary lists and reports. Although the mechanical brain also averaged semester and final grades, teachers found that instead of writing out grades for each student they faced blotting out numerous tiny rectangles on computer sheets. Many decided this process was extremely tiring while others thought it was about the same amount of work as the old letter-grade way. Some felt it really eased their tremendously burdensome workload.

Teachers try various means to keep attentions Boredom i infects most in spring Sleepy eyes and bored faces proved problems for most teachers as June approached. With the majority of their projects, trips and banquets behind them, students slumped into the familiar pattern of end-of-school apathy and teachers had to struggle to overcome this problem. Many seniors heard Mrs. Anne Conner ' s cocky senior lecture during their English class. History students witnessed an influx of films, slides and charts. Math teachers gave their classes mind-teasers and other tricky problems. In Mr. Neil ' s chemistry and Mr. Shroeder ' s physics classes, lectures fell to such subjects as embalming and were presented by such people as a local funeral home owner. Despite these efforts, however, only a few classes escaped all apathy. 210 Faculty Far left; Examining the newly installed Xerox duplicator, pigskin coach Coleman Starnes considers how rapidly it will copy diagrams, instructions and rules.

Six faculty members gained teacher ' s aides from the Title I program to correct papers and run errands for them. Also, these aides formed outside classes for slower students which allowed teachers to cover more work in their regular classes or substituted in regular classes for absent teachers. Averett College in Danville and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University of Blacksburg gifted faculty members with seven student teachers at the beginning of second semester. After three weeks of observation in the classroom, these college seniors took over for six weeks, thus, allowing teachers to be absent from the room often. These helpers gave teachers a moment to relax. Above left; Title I teacher ' s aides are (standing) Mr. Frank Cole, Mrs. Nan God- bold, (sitting) Mrs. Frances Johnson and Miss Zelma Lockley.

I I i I I Faculty 213 Both departments gain new staff members, improved facilities Improvements, additions better library, guidance New was the word describing both the library and the Guidance Department. Carpet, paint, sculpture, 5000 new books and an addition to the staff gave a new look to the entire library, stated Miss Frances Woltz, head librarian. Even with the Title I addition to the staff, however, these workers were busier than usual with the cataloguing of the new books taking place at the school for the first time. The Guidance Department also received an addition and the SCA moved from its small quarters to the previous conference room to give the new staffer an office. This new member meant there were five counselors to help stu¬ dents in changing their present classes, in scheduling their classes for the upcoming year or in apply¬ ing for college or work. Both departments were very important in the lives of the students. Top right; College bound seniors spend much time waiting to see the always busy Miss Jane Blackwell.

Faculty 215 I_ Custodians form clean-up crew; cafeteria ns become lunch wagon managers Staffs form backstage for school ' s performance Backstage was always a major part of any performance and behind the scenes here were active secretarial, custodial and cafeterial staffs. Like a well-equipped cinema staff, the five secretaries handled all emergencies or problems plus the routine matters such as issueing tardy slips and admission passes and answering any questions the students brought to them. Also, they typed memos and schedules for teachers, college manuscripts for guidance counselors and letters for the four principals. Vitamin and iron pills may be sufficient for school lunches after the year 2000, but the lunch wagon or cafeterians found that they had to provide nutritious, well-balanced meals from actual foodstuffs. The students may have complained about the limited variety but they were usually ravenous when the bell sounded “Take thirty for lunch. Bored students who were waiting for the bell to initiate the stampede scene in the corridors found relief in watching the hall sweepers as they pushed the wide brooms.Members of the cus¬ todial staff were responsible for keeping the entire stage area neat and clean between performances. They had such a tremendous job that the SCA sponsored a Clean-up Day on Saturday, May 1 5, in which students aided the custodians by cleaning the equipment, the building and the location.

B4TTERNS bec ome old patterns which ... New patterns become old patterns which give way to new patterns which ... It never stops.

Below: The empty skull of HCSH tunnels Mr. Gerald Truelove and Miss Amy Thomas to a life of lemonade and sun glasses. Bottom: The draft and job hunting are soon to become more than current events in his¬ tory class for senior Lenzy Terry.
